MISS CUSHMAN'S BENEFIT AND LAST AP-
PEARANCE.—MI,a CUShIMIII takes her lient.fit

evening at the Lyc,:titn, and makes her last appearance
in England. The admirers of the anima, will,: no doubt,
muster in great strength at the' Lyceum, to-night, tor
the purpose of paying that homage to genius, which is
always us due, but which is too seldom paid to it. The
obligations which the lovers of the legitimate drama
owe Miss Cushman are great. She came among us at a
time when the cause of the English acted thaws ep
peared h l,:ss ;by her representations she mainly
enneribute d to revive dramatic taste among u. ;
our et .ge was almost -without a first-rate act-
t.( as when she appeared—most c.'ruainly without any
actiess who could for a moment be compared with Miss
Cushman. Her appearance created au immense sensa-
tion. It became the fashion to go to the theatre to see
the great American actress, and having once seen her the
lovers of the drama went again and algal'', and the
drama became otter more popular. She Tots us for the
present—ac hope shortly to return. The cause of the

must not thus " leave her work but half compiete;"
and although we bid her adieu this evening, that adieu
will be accompanied by Au revoir.
