HAYAIIARKE7 THEATRE.

The performances at this theatre last evening
were for the benefit of Mr. Buckstone, the veteran
comedian and the lessee ; and if any proof were
wanting of this gentleman's popularity in his joint
character of actor and proprietor of the establish-
ment, it would be found in the fact that, notwith-
standing that the heat was at least 90 in the
shade, the house was crowded in every part by an
enthusiastic audience.

The amusing farce of "A Co-operative Movement"
was the opening piece,, which was well acted by
Messrs. Kendal, Compton, and LNlrs. Chippendale
and Miss Dalton. This was followed by the pro-
duction of Colley Cibber's comedy of " She Would
and She Would Not," which was first brought
out about one hundred and sixty years ago, at, we
believe, Drury-lane Theatre. Although a good
acting pl Ly, it is not often presented to the public,
and it has not been acted at this theatre sinc2 1833.
The character of Ilypolita, hich is the prominent
part in the comedy, was felicitously sustained 1 tst
evening by Miss Robertson, who, in her masculine
assumption, deported herself with such gallant
bearing that it was not surprising she shoul l de-
ocive Don Manuel, who believed he had found in
the disguised female one who would make him a
son-in-law who would be worthy of his d Lug,hter
and of the fortune which he would give her. Mr.
Howe's Don Philip and Mr. Kendal's Don
Octavio were good representatives of the
characters; and Mr. Buckstone as Trap-
panti was quaint and amusing. The characters
of Flora, RoLiard, and Viletta were also effectively
represented by Miss lone Burke, *Miss Dalton, and
Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam ; and Mr. Chippendale never
appeared to greater advantage than he did in Don
Manuel, which he played with artistic excellence.
Upon the whole we are disposed to think that the
revival of the comedy under consideration is likely
to lead to its more frequent production than here-
tofore.

A little farce, entitled " Pay to the Bearer—a

Kiss," from the pen of Mr. Walter Gordon, and
which was played for the first time last evening,
afforded Air. Frederick Buckstone, the son of the
lessee, an opportunity of making his first appearance
before a London audience in the character of Titmouse,
a sort of gawkish countryman. There is nothing
very remarkable in the piece, and the title of it turns
upon the promise made by Wildash (Mr. Kendal)
to "Titmouse," whose wife he had kissed on the
first day of her marriage, that he should have a
similar compliment conferred upon him (" Tit-
mouse ") by " Wildash's " wife on the first day
of their marriage ; a note to that effect is given by
" Wildash " to " Titmouse," in which is written

" Pay to the Bearer—a Kiss." Some fun is created
in consequence, and especially so when " Titmouse"
has to salute " Lady Primmer," an elderly person,
instead of " Wildash's " spouse. Mr. Buckstone,

jun., made a somewhat good impression in the cha•
ratter of " Titmouse," and there is no doubt bu

that when he gets more used to the stage he will
not, as an actor, be unworthy of the name he bears,
At the termination of the farce, ➢Zr. Buckstone,

the lessee of the theatre, presented himself to the
audience and spoke the following address, which
caused much laughter, and was also much ap-
plauded :
Ladies and Gentlemen,—On the breaking up for
the holidays at public schools there is always a
boys appointed to deliver
riewhartdhewith considerable anxiety,
aspneoecrhatdioany'lotookwfoh
and with many hopes and fears. I confess that the
same feelings possess me when my speech day
arrives, and we break up for the vacation. Then I
am not only anxious to get pleasantly through my
task, but to give a good account of the past, and
inform you what we intend to do in the future ; but
before I proceed to that part of my address, you
will, I am sure, pardon the few remarks I may have
to make respecting this theatre and its performers.
ram now, ladies and gentlemen, in the sixteenth
year of my management. When I commenced on
the Easter Monday of 1853, the company, as re-

Bards the gentlemen, is almost the same now as it
was at that time. I then ;had Mr. Chippendale,

Mr. Compton, Mr. Howe, Mr. Clark, Mr. Rogers,
Mr. Braid, and many others who are still here, while,
as you perceive, Mr. Bucktone also remairm
cannot say as much for the ladies of 1853, because
16 years in the life of a female mikes a little differ-
ence, and will bring about remarkable changes—
one of which is nutrimony, and where this has hap-
pened, and the ladies have departed with their
lords, of course I have been obliged to fill up the
vacancies ; but as these conjugal proclivities are
still going on, if I do not keep a sharp watch, I
may find myself at last without a real Miss in the
company. However, I contrive to supply deserted
places as well as I can, and I hope to your satisfac-
tion. With this evening, ladies and gentlemen, I
terminate a season of 554 nights, and when you
consider the great competition everywhere, the nu-
merous places of amusement always open, to say
nothing of the many tropical weeks we have lately
experienced, you will allow that such a long season
brought successfully to a close is no small achieve-
ment. It is not possible, ladies and gen-
tlemen, that I can continue many more seasons
before you, but as I have not yet found any decay
in any
of my faculties, and am still in good health
and strength, it may be that my time for bidding you
a final adieu will not be very soon. In fact, I have
only just begun to think of it,
and that chiefly
through finding myself sometimes called " a
veteran,"
which designation I have earned by hav-
ing been more than forty years before the public.—
a few at the transpontine theatres and Drury Lane,
about ten at the Adelphi in the days of Frederick
Yates and John Reeves, and the remaining thirty
here at the Haymarket; still I hope to have suffi-
cient stamina remaining to do what has to be done
here, and which I assure you is not a little, as dur-
ing the vacation the house will undergo a thorough
repair and renovation. A new proscenium has been
designed and painted by Mr. Barnes, a new act
drop will be supplied by Mr. Telbin, whilst the de-
corations will be carried out by the talented artists
of this establishment. On Monday, Oct. 19, the
house will re-open with Miss Bateman in her world-
renowned character of Leal], and during her en-
gagement that lady will produce a new play, writ-
ten expressly for her by Dr. Mosenthal, the
author of " Leah," who I am proud to announce has
intimated his determination to be present at the
first representation. Mr. Buckstone will from time
to time appear in new or revived comedies and
farces, while his son will occasion,ally drop in, and
from what you have seen to-night, I hope will soon
be able to wear some of his father's old shoes. At
Christmas Mr. Sothern will return, repeating the
successful play of "A Hero of Romance," but only
until a new production by Dr. Westland Marston
can be ready for representation. lam also happy
to tell you that Mr. Robertson, the author of
"David Garrick" at this house, and of many talented
comedies at other theatres, is engaged upon one for
performance here.
I am now about to take the entire Haymarket
company on a tour to Liverpool, Manchester, New-
castle-upon-Tyne, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Brad-
ford, and although we shall not have so many
difficulties to encounter as the gallant Sir Robert
Napier had in Abyssinia, yet we hope to overcome
whatever obstacles we may meet with in the same
i-pirit of British pluck.
As a certain great house that governs the land,
as well as this less important one, will soon break
up for the recess, let us hope that the country with
its new Parliament will continue to prosper, that
the Haymarket Theatre with its new plays may also
continue to prosper; and with these hearty wishes,
ladies and gentlemen, I thank you, for myself and
in the name of every member of my company, for
your long-continued kindness and patronage, and
until October next respectfully bid you farewell.
At the close of the address several bouquets were
thrown upon the stage, which Mr. Buckstone
picked up, and bowed his acknowledgments. The
amusing farce of "Friend Waggles" brought the
performances to a close.

We are requested by General Prim to state that
he has for the last seven months permanently resided in
London, that he has never stirred from his home here, and
that the reports about his being at Vichy, about his let-
ters being intercepted by the French Government, &c.,
lately circulating in some newspapers, are pure fabrics-
