THE THEATRES.

kING'S THEATRE.—A crowded audience at-
tended this Theatre on Saturday to witness the
representation of La Donna del Lugo and Alfred
the Great. The Duke and Duchess of GLOU-
CESTER, and a large train of Nobility, were pre.
sent,

Davit Y•LANE.—T he Haunted Tower, with
the support of BitAHAM and Miss STEM ENS, Who
%were the Lord William and "Mehl, was re-
presented on Saturday. They were both much
applauded, and a very numerous audience were
detained till the end by the humours of Simpson
and Cu. . -

COVENT-GaADEN.-7-The new Tragedy of .Ift
limn evidently gains ground. It was well et-
ten'ded on Saturday, and seemed to excite a
strong and general interest.
ADELPHI THEATRE.—The following Farewell
Addresi was spoken by Mr. WRENCH on Satur-
day night :—.

_
LADIES .AND GENTLEMEN—Another season pre-eminently
marked by your patronage and approbation, drawing this even-
ing to a close, calls upon me for the renewal of a pleasing
duty—that of returning the most grateful acknowledgments of
the Proprietors and Performers of this Theatre for your kind
and fostering encouragement.
At the close of the last distinguished season, memorable for
having been that in which the celebrated extravaganza of Ton
add Jerry was, first presented to your notice, the Proprietors
pledged themselves to produce a novelty, that for variety, extent,
accuracy, and beauty, should not have been excelled : they trust
that in bringing forward the splendid entertainment of Green in
France, they have fully redeemed that pledge.
To render the scenery; dresses,, and decorations characteris-
tic of the various pieces produced, the Proprietors have, this
season, engaged the services of artists, whose united talents have
enabled this little Theatre to compare, in those particulars, with
its more extensive rivals, to whom appropriate scenery and
splendour of decoration had been considered, almost exclusively,
to belong.
In conclusion, I am directed to inform you, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen, that a Company, comprising the present established fa-
vorites, in addition to. fresh candidates, and a variety of new
pieces by the most favourite Authors, shall next season be
waiting, to evince our gratitude for past, and to deserve your
future support.—Till when, I beg, most respectfully to bid you
farewell.

OLYMPIC TLIEATRE.—This House closed on
Saturday night for the season. The following
Farewell Address was delivered by Mr VININ•G
" Ladies and Gentlemen—Privious to the curtain falling for
the season, allow me, in the name of the Proprietor, to return
his thanks for your patronage, and make his acknowledgments
for the favour with which you have received the various new
and revived pieces during the season, many of which have been
honoured with your most decided approbation. The Performers,
Ladies and Gentlemen, offer you their warmest sense of obliga-
tion for the applause with which you have marked their various
exertions. For myself, be pleased to accept my grateful thanks
for the kind indulgence with which you have at all times re-
ceived me, more particularly whenever occurrences have placed
me before you in my capacity of Stage Manager. The Com-
pany, considerably augmented, remove, after this evening, to
Sadler's Well Theatre, where, on Easter Monday next, they
trust to meet their kind friends again, with their usual light
hearts and merry faces, till which period, Ladies and Gentle.
men, we very respectfully bid you farewell."
