ADDRESS on OPENING HULL THEATRE,

DECEMBER 2, 1833.

Written by Mr. W. Lama); REDE, and spoken by Mrs.
STANLEY.

(The York Circuit has been retaken by Mr. Douse, who
relinquished it in 1828, after seven very prosperous
seasons.)
Bound back my mind, my heart, to other days,
What happy scenes sloes waken'd memory raise ;
My by-gone sorrows, absent griefs, are oe'r,
Up, Up, my heart—l am in Hull once more.
And Fortune here her common freak has play'd,
There blooms a matron, whom I left a maid ;
In the few years that I have from you tarried,
All the young beaux of batchelors have married.
Yet limes and gentles former scenes renew ;
Come now yourselves—and bring your children too.
Since my farewell, thro' much of woe and joy,
I bore one memory, nothing could destroy ;
Oft of ye all I've thought with fond regret,
And, sighing, asked, " Am I remember'd yet ?"
Your greeting answers me: 'tis sweet, tho' rare,
To find old friends as kind as once they were.
But why prate idly of myself, the while
So many anxious ones await your smile.
To night some trembling strangers meet your view,
Other old faces court your smiles anew ;
And ONE who erst for several seasons wrought
Hard for your smiles, and won the meed he sought ;
Who, as a Manager, obtained your praise
In by-gone hours—" The Drama's pshny days,"
Asks, may be venture now the bask to steer,
When gratitude impels a new career,
And beacon hope points to a haven here.
Your favour once gave vigour to his prow ;
You cheered him then—will you forsake bins now?
I feel you will not—Yorkshire hearts are sounder,
Than, in a gale, to let a good ship founder.
Your favouring mil.' have power to restore
This well-trimmed bark to all she was before.
No efforts shall be wanting by the crew ;
But mind—our vessel's safety rests with you.
Don't let her want for hands, nor prosperous gales ;
A favouring omen—come, lads, hoist your sails.
(Curtain rises.)
Ship's'company advance, and banish fear ;
I promise you they're kind commanders here.
Steersman, (to Mr. Doune,) take you the rudder: shape
your way
Thro' sterling dramas' sea to SHAYSPEARE bay ;
Touch at Cape SHERIDAN, at OTWAY Sound—
Sail where the Island Novelties abound ;
And if from quicksand Folly you would ward us,
Why, let their judgment be your sailing orders.
So shall a prosp'rous breeze your voyage bless,
And anchor us, at last, in Port Success.

HAMPTON COURT COURSING
MEETING.
This meeting took place yesterday in the Home Park,
permission having been kindly granted by the Earl of
Albemarle. We subjoin the results :
For the Cup and Goblet.
First Class.—Mr. Anderson's r. b. Atalanta beat Mr.
Dansie's h. d. Nelson ; Mr. Clarke's r. d. Critic heat Mr.
Rice's w. b. Rarity ; Mr. Willshen's brio. b. Moll beat
Mr. Goodwin's bk. d. Glowworm ; Mr. Seymour's r. and
w. b. Sally beat Mr. Krnell's b. b. Fly ; Mr. Thompson's
r. d. Pilot beat Mr. O.borne's bk. b. Mouse ; Mr. Bailey's

Sally ; Mr. Thompson's Pilot beat Mr. Bailey's Black-
bird ; Mr. Elmore's Echo beat Mr. Collier's Creeper.
Third Class.—Mr. Anderson's Atalanta beat Mr. Will-
shen's Moll; Mr. Tlonnpson's Pilot beat Mr. Elmore's Echo.
Fourth Class.—Mr. Anderson's Atalanta agst. Mr.
Thompson's Pilot. This proved any thing but a " decided
course." As far as we could see of it, Atalanta certainly
had the best of it, and such seemed to be the opinion of
the umpire, and the majority of those who saw the course;
the other party thought otherwise, and much confu'ion
ensue. When nearly dusk we left the Park, it being then
an " undecided" affair. The hares ran remarkably stout,
and defeated the dogs in almost every course. The cons-
,
, pony was very numerous.

the whole Of the noble and wealthy individuals occupying
premises on this spot, to recover arrears of these rates,
having paid anything towards the poor rates since the
mansions were erected,
several thousand pounds, the parties not
upon which they stand was formerly that of a palace
belonging to the first Duke of Richmond, and that the
land being the under the pretext that the site
property of the Crown, they are exempt
from taxes of the above description. The cause is set
down for hearing on Wednesday, next week, Sir C. Bur-
rell, one of the inhabitants, and Henry Nicholson, the
parish beadle, being nominally the plaintiff and defendant.
Privy-gardens, and some other places adjacent, are placed
