Mr. Bunn's benefit took place here last night, and, _
might have been expected, the house was crammed. Not
nook or corner was unoccupied. The opera was 7traritartat_
and at the fall of the curtain there were loud calls cc!
Mr. Bunn, who on his appearance was loudly cheered.
returning thanks to the audience, he observed that the bo
nour conferred upon him was entirely unanticipatcd.--;
that upon one occasion his stage-manager had appal
to him as to what he should say to the audience upon
his valedictory address of the season. His reply was',
to advert to nothing that had passed, but to dilate 01"
the future. He should on this occasion follow his Oen
advice. He had great pleasure in stating that he bad en-
gaged the fifty Viennoise children, who would shortly aPPeart
and had also succeeded in effecting an engagement with tho
popular favourite, Carlotta Grisi. Mr. Bunn then bowed hi°
gratitude. Then followed a concert, in which Madan/
Thillon, and all the popular artistes of the day took part, and
then a ballet, combining the whole choregraphic strength 0'
the theatre.

that he was a dealer in lace, but being pressed for funds to meet soli],
bills, he was obliged to raise money as he best could. The pasvn
broker had the diamonds examined by a jeweller, who pronounce;
them to be of good water, but observed that the setting was
old-fashioned. The sum of 4,800 f. was eventually advanced on thei:

Accordingly, two days after, he returned with the money, ltr
the interest exactly, and got back the jewels. A few weeks after
he came again, and the same proceedings took place, and fl 7!,
