THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

Mr. C. Kean's farewell benefit on Monday night was at-
tended by one of the most numerous audiences that ever
tried the full capacity of a theatre. Even a tolerable standing
place at the back of the slips, was a luxury not to be ex•
pected but by early corners. At the fall of the curtain
afte? Ha.? let, Kean was unanimouAy called for, and on his
app,.aranco was greeted by a perfect shower of wreaths,
which f?il upon the stage fco.n all pars of the house.
Ho was much affected by this ackno-aledgmeut, and some
m:_nutes el,psed before he was able to utter a word. He
at length gave a speech, whia from the excess of his feel-
ings was at times. scarcely audible, but the purport of
which was to assure the audience that he• could not find
words ..dcquate to thank them fur their kindness; that he
was about to quit them for a ecuutry which to him would
ever be associated with the dearest recollections, and that
immediately after his return from the United States he
would again appeari,t the Haymarket. The last announce-
ment was received 'with the loudest applause.

ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.
This theatre was on Monday night opened, or rather
re-opened, by Mr. Balfe. The principal performers arc
himself, Fraser, J. Bland, Miss Rainforth, and Miss Col-
Igtt. Wilkinson seems to rule in the comic, and G. Ben-
nett in the melodramatin departments. No attempt was
made at novelty last night, but the entertainments con.
sisted of Diaderte, an opera produced the season before
last at Drury-lane, when Phillips, Templeton, Giubilei,
and Miss Reiner sustained tho chief characters; in an
Adclphi farce called Freaks and lollies, in which Wilkin-
son plays his original character; and the Last Guerilla,
pr,oda:.ed (we believe) at the Old Lyceum, under Mr. Ar-
n):d's management. The house, particularly the pit, was
pretty well attended.
