'milt am tomolt maim spirits, and as freth as
when he first cortitnemerid this most estraor)linarr
undertaking. The like arduous task as yet has not
'been attempted by any of our celebrated Pedestrianr,
which. if accomplished by BanNET, will certainly fat'
surpass all other teats of walking yet performed, and
mote particularly so if done by a pedestrian at such
an advanced period of life. At 20minute, after eight
.last night he accomplished 45 miles, and then enjoy.
ed the company of some of his friends ?mil half•past
ten. when he retired to rest until four o'clo:k tint

morning.. and started exactly at that hour. He had
gone at seven o'clock 13 miles, making then in the
whole, since his first commencemen', 1077 miler,
which he has performed in 22 days and 17 hours.
Driultr-LANE.--SHERIDAN'S admirable Comedy of
The Rivals was acted on Saturday with several vati•
aims in the cast. WALLACK At dad Absolute was
easy and gentlemanly, and several of his scenes Vert
successful, but he was not always sufficiently at&
ma:ed. HARLEY hit eff some of the eccentricities of
Acres with great felicity and hemotir t and Ktrioir,
as Davy, was frequently etcelknos Mrs. Mintrvx.
in Lydia Languish, was passable. Sir Anthony, is
thiw.roN's hands, was a source of CeilidEsS laughter,
as was Sir Luciw in those of JonNrroNt, and -Mrs.
Afsr/apryt, as aired by Mrs. Sratitcs, was a pi:mei-141
auxiliary.—. The Farce of The Blacismith of Alder -rfi
tollowed. It received a little applause at its Caen-
meneement, but enconatered the most furious oppo-
sition in its progress, and the curtain descended
amidst a storm of universal disaporobation. Even
the hissei thus plentifully bestowed., were not deemed
sufficient to requite the demerits of the farce, and
instead of reining when the enterzainnseets of the
evening were concluded, the audience remained. and
loudly calledior Mr. RAE to come forward with in

assurance that the piece should not be repeated. A
more peremptory and re,olute call on a Manager we
have siever heard. At first it was not thong:Bi ne-
cessary to answer it; but as the audience retained
their seats, and the tumult seemed to increase rather
than to subside, Mr. RAE at length made his appear-
ance, and, after soliciting their indulgence, on ac-
count of ill health, he proceeded to st.rte, that the
reception given to a piece on the first night was ge-
nerally considered a criterion by which the Managers
might decide on the propriety of repeating it. The
farce just concluded having been revived on a former
night without encountering one dissentient voice—
[Here he was interrupted by cries of " No," " niat
is not true," dec.] —they had thought ttemtelves
justified, from the reception which it then experi-
enced, to act it again. But after what had passed,
as it was neither their interest nor their wish to
oppose the taste of the town, if the audience now
decided against its repetition, the piece should cer-
tainly be withdrawn. This s?recli was perfectly
satisfactory, and called forth general applause. Mr.
RAE bowed and lett the stage, and tilt; audience im-
mediately retired.
ENtiLL.II OPERA.—The English Opera closed on
Saturday night. At the conclusion of the perlor-
mances, Mr. BMTLEY, Stage Manager, delivered
the following Addrt'ab :••••••
"LADIES AND Gs:iv:Amex—This evening clam a short
season of unprecedented exertion. I.t all that Mat. s to the
Public, the Proprietor Mu Lad every reason to be satisfied and
grateful: a full share of favour and pemintage has been eatendsil
'to the new Theatre, and he revectinily boasts, that general ap.
probation hat rewarded the endeavour is provsk yeti' wit•l a
place df amusement, such as it was thought the metroardi‘ ap-
peared to require, is an respects calculated for theporpoies anti
the enjoyment of dramatic representation. tie Proprietor was
• fully aware, that the endeavour to collect a company, almost
' entirely new to a London audience, was a bald and hatartioUS
ww. He has, hthwevet. on Lis Osten part, and va theirs, 'to
acknowledge with pride and gratitude, that the saollcttltle e$ seta
oldie New Company have been received with.the Move ileellikt
raging kindness. rimy had a feat tut task to perform in folkuying
the many distinguished favourites whose talents have ripened on
this spot, in the fostering sunshine of your favour ; but from the
liberal notice hammered oat many individuals, the Proprietor sees
every reason to hope that the same spot ntay etili successfidly
continue to bring forward e iiiinent& for gone approbation, .and
to rear fresh objects for your gralication. The unexpected
limitation, Ladies and Gentlemen, which has been imposed on
the license to this Theatre, has rendered ahor,ive the hest era-
tions of the Proprietor, so tar as relates to a fair aneljust view to
hit personal advantage; bit• in no one instance has it parented or
relaxed sus enleattuars to afford you entertainntent. He has had
to contend with powerful enemies; and those enemies have
hitherto so far trittm:died, as to deprive hint of a large portion of
talent, as well as a large part of the means of encouraging and
rewarding It. He lives, however, in the confident ham that
brighter prospects are before hint ; and that be may still be en-
shied to realise his or'gmal plan, and to gratify his fondest
wishes, by establishing this theatre as a School for English dra•
gaffe music, and tot the better encouragement of *alive talent.
AIM now, Ladies and Gentlemen, in the name of the rieprietoe,
of all the performers, and in my own, I respectfully thank and
bid you farewell."
