“Niblo’s Garden will be devoted for one week more to the ‘Enchantress,’ in which Miss Richings sings with so much grace and finish.”

“Richings takes a benefit at Niblo’s to-night, and concludes her very successful engagement to-morrow evening.”

“Caroline Richings, the charming vocalist and actress, takes her farewell benefit at this theatre to-night, when the spectacle of the ‘Enchantress’ will be repeated for the last time but one. The lady has contributed so agreeably to the amusement of the Metropolis, that a crowded house will be but a fair recognition of her claims.”

“The spectacle will be repeated during the present week.”
