Mrs. Baddely, we are informed, made her first appearance on the ftage in the char acter of Ophelia, in the tragedy of Hamlet, and her performance was pronounced inimitable. Mr. Garrick, whofe judgment no one can call in queftion, always gave the most ample teftimony to her merits. As a finger, wherever pathetick expreffion was neceflary, the food unrivalled. Her manner of finging the fong of "Sweet Willy O!" in the Jubilee, put many pounds into the purfes of the ma nagers, and will long be remembered by thofe who faw and heard her when the abovementioned entertainment was first exhibited in London. She was not confined to finging. In the fofter characters of both tragedy and comedy, the had few, if any, fuperiors. In the part of Fanny, in the Clandestine Marriage, the beauty of her person, and the elegant fimplicity of her performance, were extremely confpicuous, and fo much attracted his Ma jefty's notice, that he commanded a picture to be taken of Fanny's principal scene with Lord Ogleby in the fourth act; for which purpose Mrs. Baddeley, and that excellent comedian, Mr. King, fet to Zoffani, the painter. One of Mrs. Baddeley's most admired performances in Tragedy was Mrs. Beverly, in the Gamefter; her first appearance in which was occa-' froned by Mrs. Barry (now Mrs. Crawford) being prevented by indifpofition from performing that character, as usual, on a benefit night. About this time the performed several other characters in tragedy of equal confequence, and with equal fuccefs; when, owing to fome pri vate motives, fhe unexpectedly quitted London for an engagement in Dublin; from which period, her theatrical career feems to have been checked by misfortune. For fome years past the laboured under a nervous diforder, that during the last winter prevented her from mak

ing any theatrical engagement; from which time, until her death, fhe was fupported by a fobicription which was regularly paid her as a weekly falary. Mrs. Baddeley died in the

Mrs. ROBINSON.

The once famous Perdita, died a few days ago at Paris. This woman, who was poffeffed of most of the amiable qualities that make time glide cafily on, was chered early into life. She was the natural daughter of a gen tleman, who held a commiffion in the navy, and was married, when at boarding school, to a Mr. Robinfon, Clerk to an attorney, before the attained her feventeenth year. Their finances for fome time were low, and the being poffeffed of Stage abilities was recommend ed to the late Mr. Garrick. Her first appear ance, on the boards of Drury lane Theatre, was in the character of Juliet; but that which brought her into notice, and gave her the name of Perdita, was Shakspeare's Winter's Tale; in this Dramatic Romance, fhe attracted the notice of a Royal Perfonage. The various fituations fhe has fince been in; her amours with Lord M, Colonel T

&c. &c. are all well known.

This Lady, had the walked in the paths of virtue and peace, would have been an ornament to her fex, and a peculiar happiness to him of whom the was the better half. But a fpirit of levity, and ftrong propensity to diffipation, and the baut ton, overcame her virtue and her fenfe; and the easily gave way to the flatteries, the follies and the vices of those who paid their court to her.

She was poffeffed of literary abilities. A Farce of her own writing was brought out for her benefit at Drury-lane Theatre; and feveral other poetical productions have at different times appeared in the public prints, of which the was the author. Her abilities as an actress, were above mediocrity, but did not place her as the firft of her profeffion. She was genteel in her manners, delicate in her person, and beautiful in her features. Her heart was open to the feelings of humanity, of which the late Mrs. Baddeley was a ftriking example.

Mrs. Robinfon was born at Ilminster, in Somersetshire; her mother's name was Derby, and formerly kept the George Inn in that
