DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND.

The Annul FestivA fee the bow* of the Ileste7-Lene TtAx.
trial Fund, took place yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavein,
The Duke of You prodded. His Royal Highness entered
the Hall it half-past six, accompeeded by she Earl et TA,-
sworn. the Spaniels Anibeesader, and a numerous party of
Fashionable. and Patrons of the Drama. On uking the Chao
hi. Royal Highness was winsome' en the right by the Spanish
Antbaseador, end on the left by the Seri et Ti mount.
Nos Adis Dwaine having been . sung, the Royal Caul:tan
gave the health of his Majesty, wish four times four.
The taut Was drank with shouts of applause, and " Con ane
the !Ong,* was sung, the whole euespeny joining in the Chores
" The Royal Family" was the neat most " The Army.' and
" The Navy," severally followed.—" Hall, Star of Brunswick,"
" Row merrily we live that Soldiers be." and " tittle Bd.
tennis," were performed.
The Earl of Yainecurn rose to propose the heal:k of tin*
Royal 0111,1871111/3. He briefly reminded the comp: ye of the ma-
tinned efforts of his Royal Highness in the cause of cha*y, and
especially in behalf of that which they were this day assembled
to support.--The toast was drank with great applause.
The Duke of Yost begged to return his thanks ter the me-
tier In which Ms health had been drank. lie was happy te
meet a company so numerous and respectable, and he doubted
not the report of the Treasures would be proportionably EL.
tifying. He should always be most harpy to promote the .!..
terests of this Institution, and now drank to the health of 2.4
present.
The Drury Lane Theatrical Fund," was next proposed, -rd
drank v ith three times three.
Mr. Suer, as Master of the Institution which had fnrrn,.-1
the subject of the last toast, begged to express on the part of
these whom that company were assembled to relieve, ee
for whom their charity was that day invoked, their grati'ade
for that patronage which had saved them from the deep dis-
tress Into which they otherwise must have fallen. Those whose
duty it was to administer to the " Stricken Deer" of the here,
found them truly sensible of the obligations they owed to their
benefactors, and especially to his Royal Highness, and to thei
munificent patron—his Majesty. The virtues of the Monar:h
were said to be the bast iaheritance of a people. On the ee-
portance of these, and on the manner in which their exer:i,e
had benefitted this Institution, he enlarged with much feeline.
He begged to state, that the kind patronage of their Royi.l
Chairman was duly appreciated by the children of the stage,
and he was never mentioned but as the kind friend to the poor
player, who
" Struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is seen no more."
Since the last Anniversary burnt of the kind friends to that in-
stitution had passed to that awful " bourne from whestm DI
traveller returns." Though painful the relit:eon, the hilarity
of that day would not be less interesting, bee.-use it aparkkd with
the tear which gratitude consecrated to their memory. lie pre-
sumed it was known to those whom be had the honour to ad-
dress, that during the last .10 years, merit and misfortune had
never failed to find a friend in the late Mr. Count. He ale,
concluded that most of the company were acquainted with tt,
professional talent and amh.ble conduct in private life of Mei
Pope. Ills humble powers were inadequate to do justice to the
one or the other; but it was due to her memery to state, tlrt
the last act of her life was to make a bequest of /.:ittO tetlte
Drury-Lane Theatrical Fund—(Applause).—lie had not been
present at the Festival of last year. In his absence the 1....-zse
of the Theatre had kindly supplied his place ; and fur the nut:,
ner in which he had done this, he begged to offer him the 5...7r.:ut
thanks of a zealous, devoted, and unwearied servant. ika
Englishman born, and loving his dear native land with paseor,
while the waters of the mighty Atlantic rolled between him and
his native home, no boson: took a livelier interest in what was
passing is Englane, than that which Lad been fdt by It
stranger in America. His thoughts were constantly with ti.e
friends he had left behind, and he had never ceased fondly to
recall the scene which he had been accustomed to wits,- in
England—the scene which he had again the happiness to be.
hold—(Applause).
" The Committee" of Drury- Lane Theatre, and " The Vice-
Presidents," were the next toasts.
Mr. CALCRAFT and Mr. G. LAMB severally returned thanke
" The health of the Lessee of Drury-Lane Theatre, fir. Vie
WTI," was drank with three times three.
Mr. ELLISTON said, devoted to the Stage as he had been from
his earliest years, he was rejoiced to see its cause espouevi by
such patrons as he then addressed. Resolute to b•acon.e an
actor, he had commenced with Site. per week, and bud gore on
till he gained perhaps the bighest remuneration. The rereer.s
grandeur at which he had lately aimtd, exposed hint to some
danger. But if he were likely to turn giddy in his high situ
it must be with good brtune, as he could not fear bad wt-:'.e
surrounded by such friends as be had the happiness to see there.
Those who took an tinterest in seeing Drury-Lane Theatre enure
cipated (as he might say) from the difficulties which had encom.
rimed it, must be gratified to find that its inctambrances were
in the course of being gradually liquidated. Ile wished succe>s
to the Theatre not merely because his own livelihood depended
upon it, but from a sincere wish to see the interests of the Dran:a
protected ; and feeling as he did that the welfare of others die
petaled upon his conduct, his exertions would be unrenattie,;
and his lx st efforts made to perform his duty in a manner :LA
would be satisfactory to all parties.
The Treasurer then read over the list of the Suhscripriers.
lie announced the usual donation of One hundred Guineas front
his Majesty. The total amount received on this occasion ex-
ceeded .C 17.00.
" The Covent-Carden Theatrical Fund" was drank with three
times three.
Mr. TAYLOR, of Covent-Garden Theatre, returned thanks.

The healths.Of the Steward,. being drank,
Mr. Coorzn returned thanks. Ile remarked that it was sr.ch
moments as those, when benevolence beamed from every eye,
and generosity was in every act, that repaid an Actor for }•ears.
toil and labour. It was such moments as those that cheered t.,e
young aspirant, and bade him trust with confidence to the 1. • •-
rality of that Public which never slighted merit, or left 114
humblest industry without reward.
In the course of the evening a variety of songs and glees wee
g, by Messrs. C. Incledon, I.eete, Evans, Taylor, Mr. J.
Smith, Master Smith, Mr. G. Smith, Mr. Harley, Miss I'ose:,
Miss Forde, Mrs. Bland, and other vocal pc:trainers. 1::,17
effort was made to diversify the entertainments, and with
pkte success. The singing called forth tumultuous apple•:—.,
and the whisk was a most gratifying and exhilarating scene.

The Dublin Journal of Monday evening presents an unuse:-.1
novelty—it doe= no: record a single act of outrage. This p.e.,-
in the career of crime is highly rratifying. In the Cowry
Limerick several noted offenders have at length been arre;:e.l.

fully committed to jail, charged with the murder of Richard
Coin& Esq. and dticlrusi lindi,on, J,l.a Lymck, and 1W kit

Yesterday morning, J. W'ilsor, m forme, to a clicesonerger, in

salts at a neighbouring chemist's, when a lad gave him whet he

the poor man, on taking it, instainly exrired.
