KNIONT'S &DAVIT awn FAILIWILL.-•—•Ttlefday
night Covent• Garden Theatre was unufually crowd-
ed with the moll falbinnable audience, to expreft the
feelings of the Theatrical World in parting with a
moll favourite Mice. Long before the Rift Aft was
finithed the Dozes were completely full.
In the Play of Sped the Pkesgh, KNIGHT, in the
charaaer of Farmer Afirferiii, difplayed in the fella
perhaion dude high powers of acing which Dave
made him Co long and defervedly a favourite with
the Town.
Muwoaw was in the higheft degree entertaining in
the part of Sir diet Randy, and all the charafters
wire flipported with as much cleft as poMble.
Demme introduced the favourite Cong of " The
Thorn," which was loudly encored. The principal
(centre, however, of the reprefentation of the night,
and that which touched moll forcibly the feelings of
the audience, was the Farewell Addrefa fpoken by
Mr. Keiser it was a poetic .l Addrefs, returning
thanks for the kind patronage of the public for
twenty-three years, and Rating " ill health" as his
principal reafon for retiring from the Stage. At this
declaration the audience appeared eonfiderably af-
feited.—ln the eourfe of the addrefs it was Rated by
Mr. Kwiowr, that
"ttla Writ yet might walk spat the nue."
And it appeared to be very flrongly hinted, that he
intended (howdy to offer to the Rage fame new piece
of his own campofition ; in which cafe (alluding to
his retirement in the country) he appealed to the
audience,

• Will you then refufe
The awl ,artl hobbling of a rattle mare?"
—This queßion was inflantly anfwered by univerfal
applaufe. After Mr. KNIGHT had retired, the op-
plaufes were continued for a confiderable time. In
the Entertainment of The Prize, Mr. KNIGHT alto
difplayed his comic powers to great advantage in the
part of Dr. Lenitive. Upon the whole, the reception
he met from the Public malt be in the higheft degree
flattering to his feelings.
Coast's SUSSCRIPTION CONCFRTS.The fecond of
thLfe Concerts was lall night attended by a numer.
nits and elegant company. Nearly 200 perhins of
fathion were prefent. Mils Lass MAN, a young lady,
' apparently about fifteen, formed a confiderable part
of the attraaion of the night. Her voice is extremely
melodious and plaintive; and, although flie fling with
that modclly which always accompanies genius at its
ontfet,fheftaciently (hewed that the had made the art
her careful Rudy, and thatlbe poireliesthat feeling and
acrimination which alone can fuhdue its difficulties.
Her voice and jodgmrnt wan,. nothing hut maturity
to make her a molt fuccefstitl finger. Her face and
figure are interelling ; and the will prove, no doubt,
an acquifition to the Rage, if that be her deaination.
She had two Airs in the Concert—A.4,th ever Bet z&
cad Fair (by HANDF L), and Blibl with Maids
(by SHIELD). In both, particularly in the fecund,
the received the loudett applaufes. A charming
overture of P 's, given with great delicacy and
talk, introduced the firfi part of the concert I
and a concerto on the piano forte, by Mr. WOOO-
- finely performed, preceded the fecond. 'Three
or fuur pieces were highly applauded, and none more
defervedly than the Sapling OA and B.'ari eyed Sulam,
the former of which was rung by Mr. Buasnws,
and the latter by Mr. WuLr. The Air of Tea Reyli
was given by Mrs. Coast, with great fweetnefs. It
was with difficulty the could proceed with it, for the
impatience of applaufe.
Between the Firft and Second Part of the'Concert,
refrefhtnents wet e Greed in the rooms adjoining the
amphitheatre, in a moR elegant ayie. Theis rooms
rote esceifirtly crowded.
