ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

This Theatre closed a most successful season on Sa-
turday night; when the following valedictory Address
was spoken by Mr. BARTLEY:

" Lions as Gitarxxxam—As our short season terminates with
the performance of this evening, it is my duty, agreeable to annual
custom, to address you on the part of the Proprietor, and to offer
you the sincere tribute of his thanks for the liberal share of patron-
age with which this Theatre has been honoured.
" In a Theatre so limited, in regard to the period and nature of
its representations, open only when the town is comparatively empty,
it cannot be supposed possible that the Proprietor can vie in splen-
dour and variety with the great Winter Establishments • but he
trusts, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the efforts he has made. parti-
cularly tkis season, to merit your approbation, have fully proved
his inclination to consult your accommodation to the very utmost
of his means. The new decorations and Portico have been ho-
noured with general approval ; and he is proud to feel, that among
the new candidates for public favour, he has had the good fortune
to introditee much decided talent, which he respectfully recom-
mends to die future protection of your fostering smiles.
" The first appearance of Mr. Mathews in the Drama, for six
years, has been greeted with a warmth of feeling bordering on en-
thusiasm; and the Proprietor, therefore, cbngratulates himself on
having been able to afford this welcome treat to the town, prior to
an exhibition of the rich fund of character and anecdote with which
the quick perception, acute observation, and brilliant humour of
that Gentleman has furnished the budget for his uent campaign,
during his late trip bo America.
" It only now remains to assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen,
that the long interval before we meet again, will be passed in active
preparations for your amusement and convenience, and that every
effort will he made to ensure a continuance of your highly appre-
ciated favour ; and on the part of the Proprietor, of myself, and of
all the performers, I respectfully and cordially bid you—farewell."

The young Princess VICTORIA takes an airing daily
in her private carriage, with two female attendants, and
continues to walk in Kensington Gardens whenever the
weather permits. Her Royal Highness is a great fa-
vourite with the visitors then, whose notice she always
returns in the most courteous and engaging manner.
She also frequently accompanies the Duchess of KENT
in her visits to the Royal Family, &c. The infant Prin-
cess looks remarkably well, and has grown and im-
proved during her late residence at Ramsgate. Her
Royal Highness is a very lbvely and promising child.
