THEATRICAL BENEFITS.

The close of the theatrical season is, as usual, ushered in
by the number of appeals on the part of the managers and
actors to their patrons. Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessse of
Drury-lane, is so fortunate in the number of his friends,
that his own theatre does not suffice for their accommoda-
tion, and he takes his benefit to-night (Monday) at Cre-
morne-gardens. Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Adelphi,
and Mr. W. S. Emden, the joint-lessee of the Olympic,
will respectively take their benefits on Saturday (the 6th)
and Saturday week (the 13th). Next Thursday and Friday
will be devoted at the Olympic Theatre to the respective
benefits of Mr. G. Vining and Miss Wyndham, both
favourite artists of the establishment.

The Lord-Lieutenant and Chief Governor of the
Tower, Field-Marshal Viscount Cmnbermere, hat.:
appointed Mr. Thomas Wrake Ratcliff, of Dean C,let
House, White Horse street, Commercial-road., to be the
Steward of the Court Leet and Court of Record within the
precincts and liberty of the Tower of London, and as such
steward to be coroner for her Majesty within the said
precincts.
