PROVINCIAL THEATRICALS.

RAMSGATE.

This very improving watering-place has '..to
boast, at this season of the year, of a greater number of Nobility
than was ever known, and owing in a great measure to the in-
troduction of a rational amusement in the shape of the Braila,
so long resisted here. A temporary theatre has been erected
by 11Ir. FAUCIT_SAVILL, Proprietor of the Margate Theatre,
and having engaged a company of very superior eXcellence;tis
success has been beyond credit ; not a title that has not, ap-
peared at the head of his bill, not a person of rank that, has
not attended and repeated by plain proof; that a public and
rational amusement, properly conducted,' would be greatly con-
ducive to make this a winter as well as summer plamof resort:
Anxious not to be thought, however, an intruder, the manager:
dosed his season of about ten weeks on Tuesday, and three times
the number the house could hold were compelled to return4.ll,
was under the immediate patronage of Sir William Curtis.
The worthy Baronet was loudly applauded on his entrance,
Among the fashionables we observed the Duchess of. Sussex.
Mdlle. D'Este, Ladies Macfarland, Smith, arid Grey,.Sir Chas.
Desbeux, Sir Robert Macfarland, Sir Thomas Grey, the Hon.
IMrs. Gardener, &c. &c. &c. The play was the Soldier's
Daughter, in which Mrs. F. Savill Obtained well-merited ap-
plause in the Widow Cheerly, At the end of the comedy Mr..
FAUCIT SAVILL came forward and delivered the following
Farewell Address :

- -
" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—As in all human probability
this is the last time that we shall either of us assemble together
beneath this roof, I cannot let it pass without endeavouring to
express to you my sense of obligation for the many favours I
have received here, both as regards your repeated visits and
liberal approbation, and humble as is the edifice, and distant
as I may soon be from it, your patronage being attached to it,
will always assimilate it in my mind with its mast grateful re-
collections. And though, Ladies and Gentlemen, in a few
hours the seats which you now occupy, the boards whereon I
now stand, with every vestige and parapbarnalia around me,
will be removed, and the whole interior edifice
' Shall dissolve,
And, like the baseless fabric of a vision,
Leave not a wreck behind ;'
yet will memory often re-embody them here, each particular
vestige will be replaced, past patronages be remembered, and
last not least,'
The present moment be new-born again.'
And as oft as memory shall re-draw this picture to my mind—
(Loud applause)—so often shall gratitude engrave it on the
heart. And though to-morrow the scene of this moment will
be deemed but a dream as to existence, I feel it will ever be a
reality in my remembrance.
"'There are those* in whose presence I now stand, whose
condescension, whose kindness, and whose amiably dispensed
obligations I can never speak--
6 The eloquence of gratitude is silence;'

• They're register'd in Memory's sacred page,
And Gratitude has writ the passage clear. •
To all who have been my patrons I feel grateful ; to you who. •
mow are I beg to tender my warmest, best, and sincerest ac—
knowledgments ; and should I on a future occasion have the
honour of entertaining you in a building more .worthy yciur, •
support, more eligible for Jour presence, I pledge every etlbrt,-.:
taM master of to merit your continued approbation.
" Having thanked you, Ladies and Gentlemen, in my oWn-
name, it now devolves upon me to return you the individual`_`
and collective thanks of my brother Performers, who, 'equall
with myself, estimate and value your favours. In their name
and my own, I most heartily yet respectfully bid you farewell.""'
* Alluding, we presume, to a distinguished personage, evert
of Royal blood, who had greatly patronised the Theatre as a
public benefit to the town.
