(oar thousand‘tinfrn,h for its aid in the hs
as executors.. The present beilificencg cif the Pah-
.C•COnViIICeS me that his name is still the talisman
which holds us together. For though there ate rival
,and numerous Institutions of this nature, the splendid
assemblage of to-day gives the Directors a confi-
dence that Garrick's Fund will never be unsupported.
It is a matter of surprise, as well as of regret, that
our subscriptions from the profession are dispropor-
tioned to their numbers. This is much to be la-
mented ; for, in the present precarious state of Thea-
tricals, we do not know who may not in a few years
hence require its assistance. The numerous Thea-
tres—the influx of actors—the loveof variety—render
the actor's fame of most uncertain tenure; and the
enjoyment of the sunshine to=day, I fear, is but the
presage of obscurity to-morrow. If any of our bro-
thers who do not subscribe are present, without wish-
ing to wound their feelings, _I shall only declare, that
it was the. founder's with to keep this Fund solely
under the protection of the Actors, arid their derelic-
tion ha: compelled us to seek from the stranger that
relief which should have been ministered by our bre-
thren. That the stranger has bound us in eternal gra-
titude, the blessings of the aged, the grateful tear of
the widow, and the prayers of the orphan, are un-
equivocal testimonies. And here permit me to advert
to the hapless case of the relict of Mr. Carr, sand her
numerous family. Fur them we felt it. cur duty to
extend the bounds of this Charity ; and I trust that it
will meet the approbation of those patrons whose
hearts we know are ever open to the calls of dis-
tress, and whose hands are ever ready to relieve it.
A British public, I am convinced, does not require
that fulsome adulation generally bestowed at chari-
table meetings. The pleasure of serving our fellow-
creatures carries with it its own reward ;and I doubt
not it will add to the hilarity of this company to learn,
that the objects of their bounty are at this moment
lifting the grateful cup to the health and happiness
of their benefactors. Little Ixaspccurred since the
last meeting to merit ,consideration ; but it may be
necessary to inform our patrons, that their liberality
at the last dinner netted to the-Institution the cleat
sum of six hundred and ninety•six pounds. Since
then, though I have to regret the loss of a highly
valued friend, yet I feel pleasure in naming her as an
additional bei:efactress to the Fund—one who ever
watched over its interests with the most anxious soli,
citude; and while przparing to join the kindred spirit
that gave it birth, wee memorial of her last wishen-,
for its prosperity. I speak of the late Mrs. Garrick,
who has bequeathed to this Fund. the sum of five bun-.
dred pounds.—As this is probably the last time I may
have the honour of addressing this brilliant assembly;
on the same iubject, I beg lure to offer you, rny'
Lord, in the name of my colleagues, our heartfek
thanks fur your kindly accepting the Chair in. this;
day's emergency. My Lord, whatever may be myi
humble destiny, I shall always have a proud and
grateful sense of the condescending attention your
Lordship has this day honoured me with ; and I hope
my brethren will believe, that whatever theatrical
changes may take place.whatever waters may divide
us, my good wishes will always accompany their
pursuits, and the prosperity of • this Fund be an ob-
ject to me of the dearestinterest.".
This speech was delivered with much impressive-
ness of manner and distinctness of elocution, and pro-
duced a powerful effect on the audience.
Mr. Ca LCRA vr then gave the health of Mr. Ellis.
ton, who was, be said, prevented.from being present
by illness. No one ivbuld go farther to promote the
Objects of the institution. In fact, Mr. Elliston bad
doge his utmost for the establishment.
TheCitexaMAN, in giving the health of Mr.Calcraft,
paid some very high compliments to that Honourabli;
Gentleman, for his exertions towards bringing the
Theatre to its present high state of respectability.
Mr. CA LCRAM in returning thanks, begged that
praise might be bestowed where it was due, and it
was here (clapping Mr. Kean on the back) that the
'real promotion of the interests, nay, the cause of the
very existence of the Theatre, was to be found.
A prize cup was then presented to Mr. Welch, by
the Gendeman of the Amateur. Glee Club, for the
Glee (which was sung) called « The Death and Re-
novation of Bacchus, which they considered as the
most splendid composition within the last ten years.
The company then were delighted with some ex-
cellent soAgs from Misfllevey and Miss Forde, who
sat in the gallery. •
Mr. Brakam, Mr. T. Cooke, and Mr. Webb, also
itkitributed much 'to the night% entertainment.
Upwards of 1,1001. were subscribed.

last season, was performed' at this - House. All the
principal vocal and instnimental Went assisted in
rendering this a most delighful treaG • Early in the
evening the Dress Circle was crowded_ .with beauty
and fashion, and all the other, parts of the house were
equally well filled. The Selections were principally.
from the " Messiah," " Moses en gitypt," and " Cyrus.
in nabyloir," with light airs of celebrated Composer''
introduced between the performances to relieve the
ear from the heaviness of the sacred music. In the,
coarse of the evening Mr. NORTON performed an air,
with variations, on the trumpet, with extraordinary
Ilesibility of tone. The distant echos were sur-
prisingly sweet, and met with deserved applause,4;
The audience was elegant and very numerous.
