the
Theatretale shis
Royal-
Adelphi ; when will be performed The Flowers of the Forest,
Jenny Lind, with other entertainments. From the
popula-
rity of this clever comedian we doubt not that he willreceive
the reception to which he is so well entitled from his friends
and the public, and he may therefore count upon having a
bumper.
MR. RaYNER.---This celebrated comedian has an-
nounced his final retirement from the stage to-morrow
(Tuesday) evening, at the Strand Theats e, of which he was
the original projector and proprietor, and whose struggles
with the authorities in the Lord Chamberlain's-office to ob-
tain a licence for which attracted considerable share of pub-
lic attention at the time. Ile ultimately succeeded, but it
not uufrequently happens that victory is worse than defeat,
and this was the case with Hr. Rayner. The performances
to-morrow evening will be under the immediate patronage
of the Earl of Chesterfield, and he will be supported by
powerful auxiliary aids, including Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Mr.
Ransford, Mr. lk Smith, (of America), Mr. Robinson, &c.
The first appearance of Mr. Rayner, at the Lyceum, in the
part of Giles, in the..2llWer's Staid, and at Covent-garden
shortly afterwards as Tyke, in the School of Reform, esta-
blished his professional reputation as a first-rate actor of
Yorkshire or rustic characters, and no unworthy successor of
John Emery. After a long and successful career, he now
makes his last appeal to the kindness of his friends. He will
doubtlessly find a host of friends to support him.
Sir Robert and Lady Peel gave a grand entertain-
ment on Saturday last to Major-General Sir Harry Smith,

Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, Lord and Lady Beauvale,
Lord and Lady Ashley, Sir Alexander and Lady Malet, the
Hon. W. Cooper, Colonel and Mrs: Windham and Miss
Windham, Mr. Repton, &c., at dinner on Saturday, at their

period of the evening, had a soirée, which was both fashion-
ably and numerously attended.
