This Theatre closed on Saturday night, when the fol-
lowing AddreNs i lelivered by Mr. FAWCETT :
• Lames arm Gerrrtzieen--Our season clueing with the repre-
wations of this evening, I come on the part of the Proprietors, to
of". rtu their sincere thanks for the distinguished patronage with
which you have honoured tbk Theatre.
• The new embellishments, I am happy to say, have given uni-
weal satisfaction. Our success in the attempt to revive a taste for
Dowdy lids answered our most sanguine expectations, while our
effort, to give additional effect to the Plays of Shakspeare must, we
trot, have convinced you of our love and veneration for the greatest
politic Poet that ever charmed or instructed mankind.
o In short, when I call to your recollection that we have in the
con, of the present season produced thirteen new Pieces, besides
many revivals, I trust you will allow that neither pains nor elpense
crave been spared to make the entertainments of Covent-Garden
Theatre worthy of the greatest nation in the world.
" It only remains to assure you, that the vacation will be en-
tirely devoted to your future entertainment and convenience, and
that no efforts will be spared to insure a continuance of yodr favour.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of the Proprietors,
0( myself, and ill the other Performers, until the ‘27th of September,
I most respectfully bid you farewell."___

HAYMARKET.
The new and lively Comedy of Married and Single

on Saturday last, at this Theatre, than on its first. It
was played with more complete ensemble, and FARREN

is so skilfully adapted to English manners as to appear
both original and native
