ADELPITI THEATRE,

Miss Bateman terminated her engagement at the
Adelphi, on Saturday, with all that enthusiasm
which she has maintained iu London for upwards
of eight months, Called before the curtain at the
conclusion of " Leab," and led forward by Mr. Ben-
jimin Webster, she was greeted with a shower of
bouquets so profuse that she did not know what
to do with her floral treasures, and could only carry
them from the stage with the assistance of the
courteous manager.

Although the Adelphi season still continues, and
is likely to continue for months to come, the tem-
porary retirement of the young American actress,
who so suddenly and so pernato_ently became an
idol of the public, furnished an occasion fisted for a
speech, and the following, short, but much to the
purpose, was accordingly delivered by Mr. Web-
ster, when the fair Western star bad set behind the
curtain

"Ladies and Gentlemen,—l am very proud to
witness the ovation you have just paid to this
talented young lady, and I think I may venture to
say justly paid to her. To produce a svaieessful
piece is a pleasing event in any manager's career,
and these boards have witnessed many extra-
ordinary successes, but to produce a great artist is
a rare event in any theatre, for they are like angels'
visits, few and far between, especially one so gifted
mentally and physically as Miss Bateman. During
211 nights Miss Bitterns n has in the one character of
Leah excited the interest of the public, and their
judgment is seldom in the wrong. She has proved
that genuine talent, genuine art, will ever have its
attractions even with the highest in the realm. I
am happy to inform you that Miss Bateman will
reappear here on the 2d of January next, to achieve,
I trust, in other characters fresh triumphs, and
antil then she most gratefully, cordially, and re-
spectfully bids Sou farewell,"
The latter part of the speech was received with
acclamations, Possibly, many of the audi rice
feared that the theatrical favourite of the lust eight
months had taken leave cf them for ever. At ell
events, the official prediction that she would reap-
pear after Christmas, and perform new parts, was
received with tumulluous acclamation.

PRESENTATION TO CAPTAIN SAY..—CaVain Jay
and the members of his troop of Horse Artillery,

H.A.C., Lard Colville, and a distinguished party, among
whom were the Earl of Mount Charles, the Marquis of
Ormonde, Admiral Stanley, Colonels Douglas and Palmer,
and other distinguished military personages. Seventy
gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous dinner. The
distinction which this troop has obtained was trade the
subject of warm eulogy in a very able speech on military
matters, delivered during the evening by Lord Mount
Charles, and which his lordship remarked was ina'.nly due
to the judicious command and discipline which had been
observed under Captain Jay. In the course of the evening
the members of the troop presented, as a mark of their re-
gard to their captain, a massive silver bowl,th wishicchupbJiasrsthe

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, JUNE 12, 11 20 p.m.
A number of notables of Copenhagen have pro-
posed the following address to the King

" An intimate constitutional union of Schleswig
with the kingdom is the essential condition for the
independence of Denmark, and the development of
her nationality.

" A personal union of Sohleswig•Holstein with
the kingdom would entail the loss of Schleswig and
the fall of Denmark. It is, therefore, impossible
that the Government should consent to such a solu-
tion.

" A continued prolongation of the armistice is
impossible, unless the basis of a satisfactory peace
be proposed."
