      Thursday morning stated that she could not with safety appear at either the oratorio that morning , or at the concert that evening ; and the medical certificate the following morning was to the effect that she was much worse , and certainly unable to sing , so that the three last performances of the festival passed over without her . Her physician , Dr . Bellomini , of the Quadrant , London , arrived at Manchester on Sunday evening , and

      remained with her till her death . On Tuesday morning , for the first time , she was placed in a chair for a few moments while her hed was heing made . She appeared much exhausted by this effort , and during a great part of the afternoon remained silent and motionless . From Tuesday night she continued gradually getting worse ; apparently sinking into a state of stupor , with a pulse becoming more and more languid , and with other symptoms of the most alarming nature . Though suffering severely , she betrayed the greatest anxiety to know how Monsieur de Beriot had been received at the previous evening ' s concert , as she was apprehensive that his feelings and fears for her would unnerve him-Wnen told that his concerto had been greeted with the most enthusiastic applause , a placid smile brightened her pallid face . At about two o ' clock in the afternoon she became insensible , and her general condition so alarmed her medical attendant , Dr . Bellomini , that he sent for Mr . William Lewis , of George street , Manchester , who , from the state of her pulse and her insensibility , was strongly impressed with the conviction that she

      was fast sinking under her malady . From the hour mentioned she continued gradually declining , without rallying for an instant , except once on Friday morning , when she took a little barley-water from the hand of her husband . At nine o ' clock on Friday night , precisely at 20 minutes before 12 o ' clock , up to which time she had continued to sink , without regaining her faculties for a moment—she died . Her remains will be deposited in one of the Roman Catholic Chapels . Her age is stated to be 28 . This cannot be right ; since it is 16 or 17 years since she went to America with her father , after making her appearance in London . —Amidst all our regrets for the loss of so fine a creature , and one whose great and versatile talents rendered her so important an acquisition to the stage , we yet descry a prospect of good that is very likely to spring from the public misfortune of her loss . It will destroy all the arrangements of Mr Bunn ; it will go near to ruin him ; the ramifications of the effect will produce a change in all theatrical affairs ; and , however far distant , we perceive in this event , so mournful in all other respects , the first gleam of the restoration of the genuine Drama .

      We are sorry we cannot insert P . Y . ' s communication ; and yet more sorry that we must say the same of the * Song of the Young Poet . ' Besides the quantity of poetry we have on hand , the length forbids . The ' Flagellator' shall exercise his office at an early opportunity . A * Poor Man * is thanked , and not the less respected because we cannot find room for his verses . To Z . Q . we can only say by all means—immediately V
