MR. PARSONS' BENEFIT.—Mr. Parsons, the box
book-keeper of Drury-lane Theatre, to whose civility and atten-
tion the frequenters of that theatre are greatly indebted for the
admirable and judicious arrangements which he makes for their
comfort, takes his benefit to-morrow evening. The bill of fare
is most attractive, comprising those cliff d'oeuvres of Italian and
German opera—La Sonnumbula and Der Frieschutz—besides a
Grand Concert and a Divertissement, in which Polin and Gas-
perini are to appear. There can be no doubt but that his friends
will rally round him on this occasion, so that he will have a
bumper.
