When the Marquis bid the last £lO, Lord S. said,
" I bow to you." The engagement was very fierce.
and at its termination there was a general " Nesse !"
Presently after, the Marquis offered his hand to Lord
S. saying," We are good fiietids still ?" His Lord.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Wednesday evening tlis deservedly popular place
of amusemcnt closed for the season. The audience
was crouded and fashionable, and bore testimony, by
mpeated tokens of approbation, to the pleasurable
feelings which the successful and spirited manage-
ment of Mr.ARNOLD and Mr. RAYMOND bad nightly
excited throughout the season. Mr. RAYMOND, in
the name of the Proprietors and Company, took leave
of the audience in the following handsome address :
" I.Anits AND G Kier tem em.—The entertainments of this
evening will close the performances of the present Season, and
as It will be the last time the Drury-lane Company will have the
honour of appearing before you, I am desired by the Proprietors
and Performers to return their grateful thanks for the kind pa-
tronage you have bestowed on their labours during a period of
three years, under circumstances, which, labour,
the smallness of
the Theatre, and the extended body of Performers, held forth
but little hope of gain, and a most serious probability of loss.—
What could be done by exertion and a good will to please has
been attempted, and! hope in some degree accomplished to your
satisfaction. We cannot command success, but we have with a
willing spirit endeavoured to deserve it. Brighter prospzcta, how-
ever, I am happy to say, present themselves, both' with regard
to our more effective services, and your future amwement. From
the extraordinary and unparalleled exertions of Mr.WHITBREAD
In particular, and of the Noblemen and Gentlemen composing
the Committee for Rebuilding Di ury-Lane Theatre in general, I
am authorised to state, that we shall certainly have the honour
Of appearing before you in that spendid Theatre on the 10th of
October next. _ _ _

" Before we bid you farewell, allow me, Ladies and Gentle-
Zen, to entreat your support and patronage to the fulfilment of
those views the Proprietor of this Theatre has so confidently at
bean, and to which this spot will in future be entirely appro-
priated—the continuance and extended establishment of an Eng-
lish... Opera, upon the liberal principle of protecting and rewarding
motive talent. The task be has imposed upon himself has been
honoured with your approbation, and the gratificrtion he has ex -
• perienced in seeing , many performers, before unknown to you,
by weans of this establishment, become permanent favourites,
induces him to indulge a hope, that by further exertions, he may
be entitled to that which is Ilia only ambition, your kind support,
and your liberal applause. On Monday next, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen, the foul th season of the English Opera will commence,
with the Musical Romance of One @Tied, and the popular Mu-
sical Entertainment of The Bearding House.
" In the name of the Proprietors, Ladies and Gentlemen, and
of the Performers in general of the Drury-Lane Company, I re-
• apectfully bid you farewell."
