Subjoined are a few of the many favourable notices of the

honoured, and numerous medical gentlemen and private indi-
viduals have borne testimony to their superior efficacy :
" Dr. Granville's delightful work, the ' Spas of Germany,'
will no doubt induce many persons to visit those celebrated
springs, who stand in nee(' of renovated health. In cases,
however, where the baths are not indispensable, and when the
chalybeate properties of the Seidlitz waters are only required
internally, the German Seidlitz powders, manufactured by Air.
Wray, chemist, of Holborn-hill, will no doubt answer every pur-
pose, as we understand that a correct analysis by several emi-
nent professors of chemistry, has proved that. these powders con-
tain the valuable mineral tonic of the celebrated real waters."
—Court Journal, July 27, 1837.
. TEMPERANCE DRINKS ANS) SUMMER. POTATIONS.—
Those who are given to thirst, chastened by abstemiousness
and sobriety, must bo especially grateful, particularly in hot
weather, to any one who can satisfy the demands of nature
without leading them to the brink of intoxication ; and,,there-
fore, to the compounder of such desirable matters as powders
for the instantaneous production of soda water, lemonade, gin-
ger beer, &c., all so cooling, sparkling, and refreshing, the
public are much indebted; and it will not be at all astonishing
if Mr. Wray, the laudable patentee of these matchless powders,
obtains unprecedented popularity amongst all temperance so-
cieties."—Conservative Journal and Church of England Ga-
zette, May.lB, 1839.
" Among the thousand and one questions put to us this week,
we are asked which is the best Spa to visit ? Our reply is, the
Seidlitz Powders manufactured by Mr. Wray, chemist, of Hol-
born-hill, have now an established reputation for excellence,
immeasurably beyond those of any other practitioner. Persons
who have visited the Spas of Gertnathy for the renovation of
their health, have, on returning to England, found these
powders to possess all the tonic and apt tient qualities of the
celebrated continental springs."—The Weekly Dispatch, May
4, 1839.
~ In justice to Mr. Wray, of Holborn-hill, we cannot longer
withhold from the ' public our unqualified approbation of his
Chalybeate German Seidlitz Powders. With regard to their
medicinal properties, they approach nearer to the waters of
te justly celebrated Seidlitz Spring than any we have hitherto

HER MAJESTY'S.

The following is the Address written by Mr. Sheridan
Knowles, and delivere4 by him on Monday night in her
Majesty's Theatre, on the occasion of Mr. Dowton's
benefit:--

" If we this Might succeed,
Then the poor gentleman is rich indeed."
After the play, Sheridan Knowles spoke the following
address with great feeling : --
.4 On me desolves the prideful, painful part,
For one—an honour to his kind and art—
The final thanks—the last farewell—to speak
Because, with heart o'erfraught, his tongue is weak
Whose years, protracted past the span allow'd,
Deny the vigour, freely once bestowed 1
Ile bids me call this thronging visit kind,
Considerate, generous. He joys to find
So many friends in life's far winter, true
I do his bidding—now I say, for you,
The richest tribute were his simple due.
An actor in our stage's pa4-rriest days
Our Dowton was. . His was the envied praise
To shine while Suet, Palmer, Kemble shone,
And many a Thespian daughter, well as son—
As Farren, Jordan, Siddons—each a star,
With its own lustre shedding light afar.
Who can forget, who knew-the stage gone by,
I-low Orozembo loweed and Rolla nigh?
How _Hassan's simple tale the heart impresi'd,
Deep as the dream of Ormond's liarrow'd breast
Here might Melpomene suspect a son,
So to the truth the tragic scene was done;
But arch Thalia claimed him for her own 1
" His various triumphs why should I repeat,
From Sheva, upwards, to his master-feat,
Cantwell—the type of that hypocrisy
Which damns the:stage, and questioned, knows not why.
His rich Sir Oliver—his Sir Anthony
Most absolute ?—bis Major Sturgeon?—We
Who saw these glories of his art,' in vain
Would pain their lustre, can they see it then,
To whom by our report it may be sham, ?
Tis poor to say in these, ana more he stood alone I
True to his art, whenc'er he tried his skill,
'Nature—but Nature—was Ills model still.
Partial effect the genuine actor's soul
Disdain'd—lie sought and clasped the perfect whole.
I To trick, grimace, he never deign'd to stoup.
But still the mirror held to Nature up,'
Ills ruthor's spirit ever kept in view—
In text, conception, execution true ?
" New to the man I—Whate'er our grasp of art,
The head is still but second to the heart 1
The actor, poet, painter, all may scan
The intimate alone beholds the man 1
The independence, interest, cannot bend—
The kindness, spring-like, gushing without end ;
The modesty that loves not to oppress ;
The manliness not shows, but deeds confess.
The silent, proud, enduring—without pride
In the man since—sweetness at its side ;
What kept the heart-blood as the manly face ?
All these the private friend exults to trace.
In him a prouder muse than might praise,
Yet own the sterling theme h..yond the lays.
" For him, who fifty scars the buskin wore,
Now threescore years and ten, and some few more,
Once more the curtain rises: ere the fall
Of that which shuts out actor, stage, and all,
To take farewell—a thrilling, silent one I
Then feels the heart, when utterance is gone
Best we be brief, I speak for him—for you
There is a state of death in sad adieu."

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
Last night this theatre opened for the season, with a
strong company and an encouraging prospect. The fol-
lowing address was spoken by Mrs. Walter Lacy, and was
warmly applauded :
" JEsop, the famous fabulist of old,
Bath, in his tome of varied fictions, told
That once an aged father fondly sought
T' impress the moral lesson that he taught,
By showing slender twigs together bound,
That strength in union must be ever found ;
And we. to prove the ancient fabulist right,
Now dare to ask your sympathies to-night.
Our sire, the Drama—once your cherish'd friend—
From cold neglect, grows .fearful of his end;
His fav'rite children gone, his Lars confess
That you must prize his younger offspring less;
That yreatness only can your favour gain ;
And thatr—our humbler efforts are in vain.
But we, with youthful hopes, believe that you
Will cheer us on, if to ourselves we 're true ' •
That e'en our scene may own the power to please,
Tho' wanting Shldons' passion—Kemble's ease;
That we, the sticks, encircled by your praise,
May faintly show the light of other days.
Actor and author now your mercy ask,
As each to-niglA essays his mimic task.
Justice is blind ; oh, let her bandage be
Awhile upraised, that one bright orb may see
Our merits only—let our faults be shown,
Our ever lenient friends, to you alone.
The performances commenced with the amusing bur-
letta of A Match in the Dark, in which Mrs. Orger's
Prudence Nl.l.iityre, Mrs. Brougham') Ellen, and Lewis's
Vellum were in every respect admirable, and the other
characters were efficiently represented. A new drama, by
Mark Lemon, called the Three Secrets, followed, and was
eminently,successful. There was also. produced a laugh-
able sequel of Tons Thumb, ut4der the title of Master
7 homasse humb, which was announced for repetition
with very little dissent. The entertainments concluded
with a third new drama, Helen Oaldcigh, and it alio was
very favourably received.
