of novelties, added to the attractions of the stock com-
pany, the enterprising proprietor of this favourite
theatre has been enabled to fill his house with large and
respectable audiences. During the week a uUmber of
first class pieces have been produced in a very creditable
manner, and the acting is always above mediocrity.
The leading lady and gentleman, Miss M. Smith and Mr.
Loydall, have recently taken their benefits, and their
popularitywas well attested upon each occasion. Mr.
W. Townley, the very pleasing Lancashire ballad
singer, continues to draw down enthusiastic encores,
and divides the honours with Herr Ernst Kossak, a
balancer and juggler.
BROUGH MEMORIAL Ft Na.=rour readers will observe
that the dramatic performance by the members 9f the
Savage Club, in aid of the above fund, is announced to
take place at the Royal Amphitheatre on the 21st inst.
The evening's entertainment will commence with the
drama of " Giralda, or the Invisible Husband ;" to be
followed by the burlesve of the " Forty Thieves ;" and
will conclude with the farce of the "Lottery Ticket."
The principal characters in all the pieces will be sustained
by the members of the Savage Club. In Manchester,
where the club intends to give a similar performance, the
demand for tickets has been very great, and we have no
doubt that the Amphitheatre here will be crammed on
the occasion.

Linz GRAND REVIEW THIS DAY AT NEWTON-LE-
WILLOWS.-7-it is expected that one of the largest and
most brilliant assemblages ever before witnessed will
grace the review which will be held this afternoon at
peaceful and rural village of 111ewtqn-le-*illows. full
particulars of the preliminary arrangements of this
review have already appeared in our columns, but since
we published the lists of the brigades, several additional
companies have offered and been accepted ; and about
8,000 rank and file seem to be the number that may be

relied upon for their presence. All the carriage room
on the course has been let ; the stand tickets have so
far sold most satisfactorily; and the volunteers may, we
should think, look foriyard to a goodly sum to be
divided in prizes at the promised tit- for the two coun-
ties. Special trains will leave the Edge-hill Station
between the hours of two and three p.m. for Col-
lin's Green, returning from the same station after the
review.

J. B. GOUGH'S FAREWELL AT TUE CONCERT HALL.—
A crowded audience assembled last night in the Concert
Hall, Lord Nelson-street, to hear Mr. J. B. Gough, the
great advocale of the temperance cause, deliver his fare-
well oration, previous to his departure for America.
The Rev. Verner White
presided, and briefly introduced
the lecturer to his numerous audience. In doing so, he
took occasion to express his entire concurrence in the
object of the meeting, and related many instances in
which the movement had been signally successful. Mr.
Gough, upon presenting himself to the audience, was
received in the most enthusiastic manner. His speech
was, as usual, impressive in the highest degree—impas-
sioned, yet tender. Towards the conclusion of his
address, be said he advocated flip Cause of temperance
in the fear of God; and believing that he Would have
to give Him an account of what he said to them,
He advocated it conscientiously, because he knew that
to it he owed everything he possessed in this world, and
everything he hoped for in the next. He would exert
himself in its interest as long as he lived; his sister
was once the wife of an intemperate man, but was now,
through teetottOT, the mistress of a happy home. He
remembered when left leftv, that he left intending
to return, and he bad the same intention now ; it was
his unswerving purpose to return again to England. In
the course of his address, in consequence of the crowded
state of the gallery of the hall, a young gentleman fell
into the body, but, so far as we can learn, no serious
injury has resulted. The proceedings terminated with
; enthusiastic votes of thanks to the chaifman and
lecturer. Mr. Gough sails in the Aritbia, this day, for
America
