Report says that the Collection of Ancient Glass,
which is shortly to be brought to the hammer by
CHRISTIE, surpasses any thing which has been intro-
duced to this country. It was selected with great

Churches and Religious Houses that were ransacked
at an early period of the Gallic Revolution.

THEATRE. ROYAL, Diwny-LANE.—Monday night
Signora STORACE made her last appearance upon the
Stage. She played Floretta in the Opera of the Ca-
binet, and afterwards sang a farewell address, written
by Mr. COLNIAN. She was much affected, and as she
left the Stage evinced so great an agitation, that Mr.
BANNISTER and Mr. BRAHMA thought it right to come
forward and support her to the wing. She retired
amid the universal plaudits of a crowded audience.
The following is the Farewell Address :
Think, think not this a vain obtrusion,
And, Oh! accept my heart's effusion.
We meet no more: dear Friends, adieu!
Rairement's calm I owe to you.
My breast with gratitude is swelling—
Wlwre'er I raise my rural dwelling,
I'll cry, " Your bounty bade me rear it,
And train the peaceful woodbine near it."
From Belgrade's Siege since I'm retiring,
New Lillar will keep up the firing;
eldela cedes to other Powers
Old Drury's nightly 'bunted Tower, ;
Floretta (no one's zeal was stronger)
Is of this Cabinet no longer;
Henceforth, No Songs while Supper's bringing,
Of your first lifargaretta '6 singing!
Much honour'd Friends, who deign to listen,
No studied tear I've taught to glisten:
Oh, no! this moment's fond distress
Is more than music can express;
My voice would not these chimes be ringing,
But that it faulters less in singing.
Lov'tl Patrons, on this night we severs
Farewtll! and bless you all for ever!
