HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Webster brought his season to a close on
Saturday night, with the Sonnambula, Grandmother
Grizzle, and Grimshaw, Bugshaw, and Bradshaw.
Its the course of the evening the manager delivered
the following addres, which, we need hardly remark,
was received with frequent plaudits :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—The closing of the Great
Exhibition has brought our little exhibition to a happy
issue. There the display of the industry of all nations
has achieved a success as triumphant as beyond all
calculation; here we hive attempted to pourtray the
characteristics of all time, which your approval has
stamped with sterling value. Of the great lumi-
nary we have been one of the distant satellites,
benefiting by its light and warmth; and both myself and
others of my calling would gladly be again within its
attractive circle for many a similar period. As lesser
things often owe their value to the greater, our statistics
show that upwards of 160,000 persons have paid to see
the higher class of dramatic amusements within this
building since the opening in May of the justly•named
world's wonder; therefore I and all connected with
me aro bound to earnestly exclaim, to the honoured
Prince who conceived the magnificent project, to her
Gracious Majesty, who encouraged it, and to the
master geniuses who carried it out, be all honour and
glory. No terms of thanks, ladies and gentle-
men, can embody the deep sense of gratitude
I feel for your patronage at all times, and this
season especially, and be assured it will be my
honest pride and unfeigned pleasure, by still upholding
the drama and encouraging the living dramatist, to de-
serve a continuance of your support. Until the 3d of
November next, when the necessary repairs will have
been completed, for which alone we close, I most respect-
fully, ladies and gentlemen, bid you farewell, and wish
you all health and happiness."
We have every reason to believe that the past season
has been one of the most prosperous upon record, and
Mr. Webster corroborates as much by the terms of
his speech. The addition of English opera to the
ordinary dramatic business of the establishment be-
came a feature of considerable moment, and the per-
formances of Miss Louisa Tyne and her vocal coad-
jutors gave signal interest to the latter months of the
season. In a word, Mr. Webster has exhibited his
usual activity and promptitude; and we are glad to
find that the results have been so fortunate. The
theatre re-opens this evening for the benefit of Mr.
Frederick Webster, who issues a copious programme
for the delectation of his brother masons, to whom be
particularly appeals; after which, with a pardonable
adhesion to an old system, we are promised two more
" last nights," and then, we presume, the doors will
really be shut for the time specified in the managerial
speech.
