HAYMARKET TREATRE.

We are requested to give insertion to the following
communications :

" Mr. Webster regrets to inform the patrons of
the Haymarket Theatre that, in consequence of the
severe indisposition of Mrs. Kean, the appearance of
herself and Mr. Kean in the new play of The Wife's
Secret is unavoidably postponed until Monday next."

Mr. 'Webster has received the following ejrtificate
from Mrs. Bean's medical adviser :

"Percpstreet, Jan. 8, 1848:

" Sir,—For several days Past I have been attending
Mrs. Charles Kean with slight influenza, from which
she was gradually recovering, but, unfortunately, this
evening I find her attacked with infLumnation of the
rachea and glottis, which renders her quite hoarse,
and as I hear she is to perform at the Haymarket
Theatre on Monday next, I have given it as my
decided opinion that she will be incapable of articu-
lating distinctly by that dad•, and I may add, that in
all probability she will not be able to appear for a
week, and that not without care and attention on her
part, the weather at present being so unfavourable
to her recovery.
"This account of Mrs. C. Kean's health is commu-
nicated at the request of Mr. Kean.—l am, sir, your
obedient servant,
"B. Webster, Esq." "JAMES CLAYTON."
