CLOSE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT.

The nobility, gentry, and the public are respectfully Informed, that
the popolar Entertainment given by the Eth opian Serenaders, Pell,
Barrington, White, Stanwood, and Germon, will be positively ter-
minated .at the end of the ensuing month of June, previously to the
fixed departure of the Company for the Continent, on the sth of
July. Since the commencement of this Entertainment, more than
four hundred performances, public and private have been given in
London ; and, notwithstanding the numerous vulgar imitations which
have been recently attempted in the metropolis, the unapproachable
superiority of the above party is established by their undiminished
popularity and success. During the few remaining weeks of their
engagement, the performances will be continued every Tuesday,
Thar sday, and Saturday evenings, and a Morning Performance will
take place every Wednesday. The entertainments of the Thursdays
duriug the month of June will be appropriated for the separate Bene-
fits of each member of the Company. And, in order to produce an
agreeable souvenir of the unparalleled popularity of these perform-
ances, it is intended to present to every visitor of the private 'boxes
stud stalls a portrait of the beneficiare in his private appearance, and
also in his professional capacity, illustrating some favourite melody.
Such portraits will be executed from the life, in the finest style, by
M. Maguire, Esq., and are already nearly completed. The benefits
will be arranged in the folio wing order :

Thursday, June 3, for the benefit of Germon (tamborine),
Thursday, Jane 10 ditto Stanwood (accordion),
