The house greyed the sifted smgey on .Sa,tuyilay night shoyjd Vmve linger, and we m:" s,uvu had the publichad tlie slightest; idea of Jliss marvellous voice, there would not have been a vacant seat. The &ingui£ was n revolution. Never, we can say without fear of contradiction, lm any singer boon heard in New Plymouth who so thoroughly lived tiirough her songs, hi the stirring ; songs of Ireland she positively thrilled her audience, and, with all deference to the gifted Homo envoy, Mr lJeWin, wj|u \yas present, it would be UJiliuiilt to imaginf; how the cause of Ireland ebnUi, bo more eiiVctively pre- '

sented than it was through Miss NaI'Hlc.s singing o{ tin; songs of Ireland. Uut her talents are not eonlined to the singing _of national songs; her versatility is truly marvellous. She js, moreover, an actress, ami in the iliileient numbers presented—encores being numerous, throe and four l'C* calls being frequent—shy displayed her langfc ot talent, from iiiiuiitaUlu coquetry _ and. archness t, x exceeding dramatic fervour ilience to the highest jiitt-h of enthusiasm, It certain that jig .singer .ever' in et; so l.i<-a v t y a reception.
