Jane St Maur, now Countess of Mountcharles, the wife of the Earl of Mountcharles, eldest son of the Marquess Conyngham. The Countess of Mountcharles has a daughter Blanche, and a son, Viscount Slane. The next name, that of Miss Catherine Stephens, brings to recollection one of the sweetest singers of the English stage. Catherine Stephens was the daughter of a carver and gilder, and was born, at the West End of the metropolis, on ACTRESSES RAISED TO RANK. 193 the 18th of September, 1794. From he...r earliest years lier voice gave tokens of remarkable, sweetness ; and, in due course of time, she was placed under the musical tuition of Lanza, who brought her out as his pupil at Bath and many other towns of more or less importance. Subsequently, she became the pupil of the well-known Thomas Welsh, a change which gave rise to an angry war of paper between the rival masters. Welsh brought out his pupil at Covent Garden, the 13th September, 1813. The part chosen for her dehut was Mandane, in Artaxerxes, the character almost uniform- ly selected by this master for the first appearance of his pupils.
