to fly from Bologna in 1401, when John Bentivoglia usurped
the sovereign power of that republic. The Venice Gazette of
the 14th ult. publishes the documents produced by M. Mar-
zano in support of his opinions.
The average number of deaths registered in Brighton

prince of pantaloons, in conjunction with the celebrated
" Joey" alias " Grimaldi," kept the town in roars of laughter
night after night during the long winters of the bygone time.
The performances were in themselves yesterday evening suf.-
ficiently attractive to insure .a good house; but public sym-
pathy for an old and hard-working servant secured an over-
flow. This is as it should be. The bumper of last night will
cheer the declining years of the veteran pantomimist, and
enable him, in some measure, to look back with satisfaction
on his former achievements. He will find his old friends
have not forgotten him, and that though no longer, from
age and infirmity, able to cause a laugh, he is still respected
for what he has been. Mr. Barnes did riot himself perform last
night; he was led on the stage by Wieland and Ellar ; he ap-
peared much affected, and bowed with great feeling to the
tremendous cheering of the spectators, He was then placed
in a chair in the centre of the stage, while all the pantomimic
characters-16 in number, filled by the principal pantomimists
of the metropolitan theatres—harlequins., clowns, pantaloons,
columbines, &c., took their leave of him with appropriate ges-
ticulation and dumb show. The scene, though grotesque,
was not without some sentimental feeling, and many of the
audience sympathized in the apparent break up and decay of
their old favourite. Mr. Ducrow, in the course of the even-
ing, appeared in Raphael's Dream. Mr. Foster, the trea-
surer of the theatre, played Raphael. Mr.. Cooper played in
Turning the Tables; Mrs. Fitzwilliam in the Middy Ashore,
&c. The farewell address was delivered by Mr. Leman
Rede: the words were his own, and he spoke with great feel-
ing and effect. It was received with reserved applause. Thus
has terminated the almost last remains of the legitimate dy
nasty of pantomime.
The following is the Address delivered by the Author,
Leman Rede

Who has not felt, as years and cares crept on,
(When childhood's laughing hours are faded, gone,)
Mem'ry turn back, with longing lingering gaze,
To Christmas revels and to boyhood's days ?
Cast back your thoughts to twenty years ago,
(I don't expect that ladies can do so,)
Have you no visions of a Parker's grace,
Bologna's elegance, Grimaldi's face,
And mid that merry throng in life's gay noon,
Of Barnes, the lean and slipper'd Pantaloon ?
Ye knew him then, and by each radiant brow
That smiles around me, he's remembered now.
Your presence proves your mem'ry and his worth !
And ye, the fairer portion of the earth,
And younger spirits, hearing in his name
But the faint echo of a by-gone fame—_
Gazed ye with joy upon the sable sprite
Who woke your laughter and applause to-night?
Think, as you linger o'er that fairy scene,
What WIELAND is—poor BARNES may once have been.
Turn and behold that creature lying low,
A silent sufferer—in want—in woe.
Shall he who woke your childhood's laughter, live,
Wanting the succour that your hands can give?
As ye, young hearts, which no such memories haunt,
Tho ye knew not his merits—feel his want;
Together cheer the couch of age and pain,
And bid the grief-struck mourner smile again ;
Or oh if tears must still that cheek bedew,
Ltt them—they're tears of gratitude to you.
Ye are not feebly thank'd by him alone,
For his heart's joy is echoed by your own;
The charity by which that lorn one lives
Blesses alike both him who takes and gives;
His heartfelt prayer he offers up for you,
Props of his age, fieav'n bless you! and adieu!
