Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, Sole Lessees.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

The Management find it necessary to announce to their
Patrons that it will be impossible for a few nights at Christ-
mas to perform Balfe's eminently successful Opera with the
Grand Pantomime. The time in representation and scenic
preparation for an Harlequinade of such magnitude, renders
the temporary suspension of the brilliant Opera imperative.
Boxes and places will continue to be booked daily at the
Box-office for the reproduction of the Opera at an early date.
The 'sensation created with the public on the first represen-
tation of Balfe's New Legendary Opera was most enthu-
siastic. Continuous applause marked its progress from the
rise until the fall of the curtain. The demand for places daily
at the Box-office to witness this great music I work of our
popular English Composer, places the Management in the
proud position of iinnouncing the performance of BIANCA,
THE BRAVO'S BRIDE, Every Evening until further
notice.

Legendary Opera, BIANCA, THE BRAVO'S BRIDE:
