London, March 4.  At Edinburgh a player, performing the part
of Alexander the Great, and having just received a letter
from London, with the account of a late melancholy event,
just as he was entering upon the stage, before he began his
part, he advanced towards the orchestra with a white
handkerchief in his hand, and after many contortions of
face, in order to force out a tear, "Gentlemen and Ladies,
(said he) the Princess Dowager is dead!"
