p,

1 thTheSpeaker having relinquished his canvass, permit me
11is
vetchange of circumstances, again to solicit the favour of your
e. I did not offer myself as a Candidate untitthe encourage-
" 11,Y friends had led me to believe that r might be

that distinction too highly ever to relinquish the pursuit
of It whilst a successful canvass continues to flatter me with the

MR. BANKES'S LETTER.

Trinity College, Cambridge, Nov. 5, 1822.
SIL--So long as the Speaker continued a Candidate for the
:lour of representing this University in Parliament, I was
unwilling to put my pretensons in competition with. those of
distinguished individual ; more especially as my poli-
• 4k sentiments in general coincide with 'his—Upon that
€:. eat' question, respecting which the feeling of this Oliver-
: 1 has been so repeatedly declared, I may refer, not to
,2,
°Fessioni only, but to the line of conduct which I thought
ItY duty to adopt, whenever it was brofight forward;
uttr;_
`nl, the short time that I sat in Parliament. ' This conduct
tr
1411 e pledge, which I now have to offer,
.of the most steady
dec,ided opposition to any measures tending to undermine
Zb.salter the established Church. Should I be so fortunate as
as
upon the present occasion, I shall feel in that
„ttie
t.iplet°4 }tu additional motive for adhering to the same prin-
fzvoL--11.:Pon these grounds I beg leave earnestly to solicit the
op
. ' Your support,
And have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very faithful servant,
Wm. J. BANKS.

' THE THELVFRES.

DREItY•LANE.—TheComedy of Mid Outs
was repeated here last night. We observe that
the Performers, forgetful of SHAKSPEA E'S advice,
" speak more than is set down for them." This
practice is not allowable, even in the extravagant
dramas of O'K EEFE, for if not checked it may
intrude upon the best plays. The actors should
be ashamed of making. " a quantity of barren
spectators laugh."—The new ballet of The Galley
Slaves, was successfully repeated.
CO VENT-GARD EN.—The Rivals, amusing alto-
gether in the representation, was last night fol-
lowed by The Galley Slaves, and both were well
received. The competition between the two
Theatres, obvious in the production of this lifter-,
piece on the, same night, may be advantageous to
both, as it naturally tends to excite public com-
parison, but it by no means indicates harmony
among the respective Managers.

EDINBURGH THEATRE, NOV. 4.—The Theatre
closed for the season, on Saturday, with Love in
a Village and No Song 'to Slipper, for the benefit
of Miss STEPHENS. The house was crowded to
an overflow, and in the course of the perform-
ances the audience evinced their unqualified ap-
probation of Miss STEPHENS' singini-t- by the most
rapturous applause. She, was in tine voice, and
sung the airs with her usual excellence.. • At the
conclusion of the Opera, Mr. McaRAY came for-
ward; and delivered as nearly as could be col-
lected the following address:—
" LADIES 'AND GENTLE.MEN.—AS is usual upon these
occasions, it becomes my thity.to say a few words at the con-
clusion of the season. This duty has devolved upon me so often
that I am fearful my addresies to you will degenerate into cold
formality; but believe me, Ladies and Gentlemen, however
inadequate my language may be to' express my feelings,
they are those of the warmest gratitude. Indeed, Ladies and
Gentlemen, 1 should not have intruded myself upon. yoU on
this occasion, were it not customary,. and were I not fear-
ful that a departure from that custom might be construed
into disrespect. In some cities, the prosperity of the the*,
tried concerns flow on calm, and unruffled by opposi-
tion or impediment. This good fortune has not been ours.
—We have, in the course of our theatrical career, had to
encounter trials and difficulties that might have been con-
sidered almost insurmountable ; but all these, by your
constant patronage and support, we have at length been able to
overcome. Allow me, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of
Miss Stephens, to return you her most grateful acknowledg-
ments for the many instances she has experienced of your. kind
patronage and support. There is one circumstance which I
will -mention that must prove highly_ flattering to this young
lady, which is, that every succeeding engagement has proved
more attractive, and been more, profitable than the former, and
a circumstance, Ladies and Gentlemen, which you will excuse
me for saying, has proved highly gratifying to myself, and to
all parties educerned. During the recess, no exertions will be
spared to merit the continuance of that support which
.has
hithertO been so liberally awarded us. The interior of the
Theatre will be entirely re-painted and decorated. At the
opening, every variety that is presented to us by the London
theatres, Will be brought forward as rapidly as possible. It only
remains, Ladies and Gentlemen, for me now to return you, on
the part of: the management, and the performers in general,
their sincere and grateful thanks, for the very liberal patronage
they have received at your hands, and most respectfully to take
my leave.".
