HAYMARKET.

This Theatre concluded a very successful season last
night, with the Farce of My Grandmother, and two of
the most approved Pieces produced during the season,
Sweethearts and Wives, and Fish Out of Water. At the
conclusion of the second Piece, Mr. T. Disarm, Stage
Manager, came forward and delivered the following
Address, which was received with great applause:
Lamas AND Gurnmitzw—l have tbehonour of appearing before
you as the representative of the Proprietors of this Theatre, to an-
nounce to you, that with the performances of this everthig their
season wiU terminate;i and to offer you their sincere thanks for
the liberality with which you have rewarded their amid to deserve
your favour. These, as they have been unremitting, so bade they
been successful beyond their most sanguine expectations.
" The seasons of this Theatre are necessarily short, but in prat
portion as they are short; the Proprietors are desirous of rendenng
them attractive. They leave to their larger and graver rivals the
weightier cares of the tragic drama, happy if they can add to
your stock of innocent enyordent, 'and pronlote good humour, I
gaiety, and laughter.
" Of the dramatic novelties .which they have produced for your
amusement, the greater proportion you have honoured with a share
of approbation nearly unprecedented ; and, ever obedient to your
wishes, and confident in the justice of your decisions, they have in-
stantly and unhesitatingly withdrawn such productions as have
failed to obtain your sanction.
" With regard to the Performers, the Aim wish of the Pro—
prietors has been to collect a company in some degree worthy of
the distinguished patronage with which this Theatre has at all
times been honoured. Iu this respect they trust they have suc:
ceeded to your satisfaction; for, together with much provincial ta-
lent, they have offered you a combination of a very considerable por-
tion of the comic and vocal strength ofboth the great WinterTheatres,
io Such arrangements, Ladies and Gentlemen, will be made, not
only for your amusement, but also for your comfort and conve-
nience, at the ensuing season, as, the Proprietors trust, will entitle
them to a continuance of your patronage.
" And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg leave to express to
you my own thanks and the thanks of the Performers, for the uni-'
form favour and indulgence with which you have honoured our ef-
forts to please you. -
" Ladies and Gentlemen, for the present season, we all most
humbly take out loam."
