This n. we believe, as pure and perfect a piece of comic octing as the stage ever boasted.

Like LISTON (though hr effects his purpose its a different way). he is a uomu‘ipi•asitiskue *remit oplems and vapours. Mr. C. KEMILE's Capful* Atsolare is a polished and spirited performance. Miss BRUNTON described, very happily, the pouting petsisliness of Lydia Languish—particularly in the scene where the fair 101114111. e reader describes her garden interviews,. in li'e 11)1114 of winter, with h er we er , who, when ,116 most frozen to death, would " talk of his flame, sad rough and Niers,, roost rithetically."

This interesting theatre clused, for the season, on Satuobiy night. The house overflowed with an elegant audience, inclnding his Royal Highness the Duke of Susstx, with a large party. His arrival was gr e eted with the loyal and popular air of •r God store she King," which was also repeated at the end of the second piece. During the per formance of the third piece, The Woodman', Hal, an incident occurred which excited a considerable sensation. In working the scenery the trunk of a burned tree was let down prematurely. and almo►t grazed Miss Km.l.x's head. A general alarm prevailed. which did not subside until it was ascer tained that this interesting actress had received no injury. At the end of the ►econd piece a Farewell Address was spuken by Mr. Minium, which notices the great injury Vit. Promietur hae suffered be the curtailment of the original license from twelve to four months. The public must acknowledge the justice of the complaint. who know that the encou ragement of native talent is the patriotic principle on which this home was founded under the auspices of his Ma Jewry, ■od have witnessed the spirited and liberal exertions of Mr. ARNOLD, in carrying that principle into effect. The following is ■ copy of the A LADIES AND GENTLEUND...-Fer the first time since the rftialtli.lonent of Ode theatre IL have the distinguished honour of offering our Farewell Address is the presence of a Royal Visitor.

Ladies and Gentlemen—l caisson sink from so exalted a sohj,ct to the mere common place of a Theatrical Farewell, hut his Royal Highness having been pleased in identify him self ivillo the Public, by mixing with them as a Fellow-sub jict un ibis occasion, I cannot better second his gracious in tention, than by addressing his Royal Highness and you as one collective family. In that character I have now the bouoinr to offer to you, the grateful acknowledgments of the Proprietor fur your past patronage—and be trusts he has slot been fonad naming in his endeavour to deserve it for the future—hriefly then, in his name, and that of all the Performers, I respectfully take my leave—wishing you all health and happiness till we meet again.

Indeed, this is too weak a said tu express the delielitful satisfaction I feel in siring this unequivocal testimimy of my respect amid gratitude In the enlightened and liberal audiences, hi fore whom I have appeared in every part of the United King. dont ; but chiefly to lid andience, whose approbation first raised me to that rank' is my profession I now hold. Wilk Art London audience is associated every Wiwi of pride I may be allowed to Indulge, and still to merit their appi oral most be the highest object of my anelsoiou. It is en fur therance of this object that I beg leave to solicit your at tention to the following brief slattern, eat of those reasons which at first suggested in my mind the propriety of with drawing myself from brury.lane fur a short time. For the last tau year, my toilworn at the Theatre has been highly embarrassing. I hare been considered responsible for circumstances over which I had no control, and ecru the press has attached blame to me for occurrences I conk' neither foresee nor avoid. It would be perlieprs indelicate for me to ruler into pirticulars ; but . you, Sir. seem yourself to be aware, that I have beets an inane cent eufferev upon occasions wheu I slimed have been held blameless. When the Theatre fell into the hands of Mr. Elliston. I understood that be had made such arrangeineuts as were • 'Weal breach of my articles, mid I was un‘liljug to easbarraiesn nielertaking of such risk and impos lance by relurniner to claim their fulfilment. The former 'capon still pox., fully opersiiog on my mail a. an ioducenseut to with draw myself, for a pet iod, I thought it would he equally advantareally both to Mr. Elliston and myself, to take upon me - responsibility of breaking with hint. Under the tier d antes, too, which had come to my know ledge, at 1 dome that Mr. Widen would himself consider the thousand pounds penalty, which I offered to pay, a full equivalent for my services ; and I, even now, doubt whether he would uut prefer this arraogement. By my arti cles I must be manager at, the Nightie on which I play, and this must necessarily embarrass Mr. Makin if he has nut provided fur it. By another clause in my articles, which I ugly mention by the way.since I have aright to demand their fulfilment to the very fetter, In skew that Mr. Ciliation C011:41 sot have contemplated my ret•rn, my name must still con. lime as large in the hills as the Committer first chose to ail. weedlike it. Should I insist upon my right in this point, Mr. Elliston will be forced to break with an actor (us his line) of the first importance in leis piofession—l mran Mr. Dow. ton, who has in his articles, I umlerstand, stipulated that my name should lie advertised like inhere. This matter, though a Mee in appearance, must lead to the questima whether I am to yield to Mr. Dunkin, or Mr. Morton to me. Now Mr. Moon has provided against the alternative, had not my submission to public opinion oblized me tu forego my first intention of rettring to America. He has en aged Mr. Vandetilioff, of Liverpool, as actor of the first consequfmee, and a cant Immo whose high talents riIaWNIF. the CO place, and whom it would he therefore degrading to make secon dary to any one. This Gentleman's walk in the drama is the mine as my own, and he hes established a high reputation by his performance of firmilis,Sir Ciles Orttreark, Nit. Frirrard Mortimer, and al! those characters in which I have been airy way disiiiimiislied. What place then is there for me at this House? I still cannot help thinking, that tosrithelraw fora time would he col, fair towards my compeers, and an advantage in Mr. Ellistou. But since the public voice demands my return I shall obey it as I have always done, and obey it cheerfully. Nor shall I be wanting in every exertion to deserve that ap. probation which they have hitherto so liberally accorded to my pour endeavours. Engaged as I am, I scarcely know *bat I have written. I have written, 1 fear, very discon nectedly, fur I have been obliged to write in a burs; but you will, of course, excuse the cumposiii #### , •nd only CUM eider the sentiments I wish to convey by it, through you, to the public.

In the centre of the gariten• was erected :t sort of mast, between St) and So feet high, which wa• supported by four ropes, made fest to trees in the girden. To this mast was rigged a sort of yard, siting by a tackle, mail having a traveller to guide it in its proper po. onion op 81.11 down the twist. About hslf.past twelve o'clock the h.illoon, wt b its netting. was brought Iwo the g.irdeti. It %tali formed of glazed of cs iuus colours, pink , Illus., soil yellow, and was lilted »ill, what.

At last the t:fortunate gesitleinutt was t.bliged to give op the attempt. Mr, Sadler, junior, the Aerooatit, who was on the grottod„ kiuutly undertook to ittAke au apology for him. That gentlein in immediately mounted a table, and informed the people that Mr. Dean could not possibly a.ceitd, from the state of the weather; but that he would return the money to those who wished it, and would gratify those who chose to retain their tickets with au usceitt as soon as the weather would permit. This address was kindly received by those who were in the gardens. aiid they began to disperse ; but the gentry outside were more disappointed than those who had paid; trod they began to pull down the palings of the garden, sod to rush in by doz.•ne. The balloon had been removed; but the mast. and tire yard half hoisted on it, remained ; which these ruffians let fall among the ladies and gentlemen still in the gardens, by suddenly letting go two of the Ryes which supported it. Fortu nately no one was hurt. On the whole, we are glad ne accent did no,t take place; for we doubt whether it would have had a fortunate issue for the aeronaut. The principle of this balloon, it is well known, was that of Mositgoltier. who fell a sacri fice to his adventurous spirit and the dangerous nature of the element which wive him his ascending !lower. What precautions Mr. Dean might have taken to preserve his balloon from catching fire we are unable to say, as we did not see the furnace bud ; but we nuidt-rstAtill the rarer iction of the air was to be produced by a charcoal lire. Ile had. provided two jars of condensed water to play upon any part that might have caught fire, by simply opening a cock; bur, from a slight experi ment made with them on the gromid the aeronaut would probably have derived but a slender chance of safety from them.
