The following statement has been issued by the com-
mittee:—
" 500/. are still wanting to relieie the committees
from the liabilities they have incurred- in representing
what they have considered to be the feeling of the Bri-
tish nation. The duties and expenses of the committees
will not cease, however, with the liquidation of their
present liabilities; it is their wish, before making the
property over to the Crown, to place it under the super-
intendence of some person honourably connected with
dramatic literature, ond to remove certain premises ad-
joining, which injure Ole appearance, and endanger the
safety of the house."
There was, at the commencement of the perform-
ances, some little confusion occasioned by the diffi-
culty of finding seats, but an offer to return the
money quieted the dis.' satisfied, and all went off
pleasantly.
The musk was,admirabl :y conducted by Sir Henry
