COVENT-GARDEN.—MisS STEPHENS returned to
head-quarters last night, and received, on her en-
trance as Polly io the Beggar's Opera, the most
flattering tribute of public favour. She perfqrtn-
ed the character, as heretofore, with truth, 'STUD-
plicity, and feeling, and song the airs in the same
unaffeCted and pleasing manner, being very spar-
ing of graces, and introducing such only as
seemed to belong to the original melody. Some
of the airs were encored. INCLEDON and Mrs.
LisroN acquitted themselves ably in Macheath
and Lucy. The second piece was The Miller and
his Men, and • the last was Mother Goose. The
house was very %vell attended, andthe whole went
off with eclat.,

TAR LYC EU M .-The season concluded last night
at t iK place, with -the last new Opera of Frederick
-the Great, and.the new Pantomime of Harlequil!
How-. Both of these pieces have, been very at-
tractive, and Inc season altogether has, we tinder-
stand, been very ploductive, particularly during
the last four weeks. At the close of the first of
these aramas, Mr. RAYmown Caine forward before
the dlopping of the curtain, till the performers
remaioin4 on the stage, and addressed the audi-
ence in the followiinz manner :
LADLE,' ANO GENTLEMPN,—I h,tv. once more the plea-.
sire Ippear oef,ire you on the close of a season of the Eng-
lish Orr,i, to Wei the wamiest thanks of the Proprietnr,liir
thegrdifying success which_ has ant tided his efforts to merit
yoireauprAatioo.

" F-rOm the commencement of the establishment of tliis
Theatre, to the present. day, it has been his mlst anxious de-
sire to obtain your favour, and his best reward to be honour-
ed with your smiles.
" The liberal encOuragment you have given to his endear
vours, encreasc, with every Reason, his gratitude and zeal in
~•0:r service ; and he pledge; himself, that so jar from re-
Lxio_ in his activity, it shall be hi, proudest ambition to
e;tablish the English Opera on the firmest basis, and in a
style *which shall be more and more deserving the applause
with which it has honoured.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, the Performers desire to join me in
a respectful tribute of thanks, for their share of your patron-
age; and in the name of the Proprietor, tile Performers and
myself, I respectfully hid you farewell."
This speech was delivered with an imprasive
earnestness, and was very xvell received by a nu-
merous audience. The Pantomime follo-wed, and
excited much laughter. The perforiners at the
end again made a respectful obeisance, and re-
tired amidst gratifying, tokens of approbation.

The Green-room of the Lyceum, on the termina-
tionOf the season last night, was the scene of good-
humour and conviviality, for some time after the
petformances had concluded. A Gentleman, it
seems, to evince his sense of the, pleasure which
he had received during the season, begged leave
to present the Company with a dozen of claret
and another of port. The Proprietor, in addition,
supplied a due of proportion of Madeira, and a
good dessert. The corks were drawn at the
close of the Opera, and before the Company dis-
persed the contents were exhausted in libations
expressive of loyaltyi.zeal for the interests of the
Drama, and gratitude for public patronage. The
whole was a scene of pleasantry, spirit, and" well-
tempered jollity.
Miss O'NEAL, who has acquired• much fame on
the Irish Stage, is, we miderstand, to appear
among, the novelties of the Covent-Garden Season.
MATHEws, the actor, is so little recovered from
the effects of his late accident, that he is Obliged
to resort to the warm sea-bath at Brighton.
Mr. StnipoNs (who was implicated in the attack
made by Mr. H. JOHNSTON against Mr: LMERY,
as noticed in our Paper last week) has positively
contradicted the whole of the charge, in a letter
which has appeared in the Edinburgh Courant.
