I KfNc'sTHEATRE.—The farewell Ilene& of this long
established favonrite of the Public took place last
right at this Theatre, Which was croivcled to an over-
flow in every part on the occasion. The crowds were
sn immense, and the pressure so meat, that many
persons were severely injured in eniteavonring to ob-
tain admission; and several women were carried away
from the pit door in a state of alarming insensibility:
Tile perform-111,es were 7hrer Wrekt After Illarriage,
and the Comir Oelierx of Lewin a raw, In :Ls:bum
gave the son2r, of Hawthorn 4ith his accustomed
tichrtea, of tr.a6 and taste, and was applauded to the
very echo. In The Saran, his powers were adMirably
displayed. The assistance or los profestional friends
was a tender of genuine respect and esteem equally
honourable to him and them. &LIT] ON, D

While yet Ilk y may behuid their bru;t her tere,
Here--where the Ft lends, who netted his youthful pevv.r,
Now meet to cblisrcrate his fareweil hour:—
Here—where the plaudits he has GU so long,

To you his claim for kindness he prefeted,
Four presence shews that his appeal was heard:
No Acton here, as Actors, now attend,
But friends assemble to support a friend:
Those friends would waft above one fermat pray's',
One anxious wish for him who owns tl.eir cat e;

Experience what he felt on British ground:
' While to his ear your language they impart,
Oh may they speak your language to hie head t
