HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last night this theatre closed for the season. It was also the es e.-
sion of Miss PATON'S benefit, and the house was well tided. The per.
formances of this lady arc too well known to require any comment ;
we need only say that she vindicated all her former fame. At the con.
elusion of the performance the manager came forward, and spoke the
following Address :

terminate our season, I am deputed by the prsprietors of this establish-
ment to return you their respectful thanks for the patronage you have
