URY-LJNE THEATRE.

Last night the regular Season of this Theatre- ter-
minated ; on which occasion Mr. STEPHIN REMELT,
after having performed the part of Falstaff, came
forward and thus addressed the audience:
" Larn. aria GINTLIMIDF4 am requested, by the Paoprie-
tors and the Performers, to offer you their sincere acknowledg-
ments for the patronage conferred upon this Theatre ; and they
beg me to assure you, that it will stimulate them to further and,
greater exertions for your amusement, when they have next the
honour of appearing before you. During the Vacation, it
intended thoroughly to repair the Theatre, and to embellish and
beautify it in a manner Worthy of your reception, and to
strengthen the Company with all the taint that can be procu-
red. For myself, in my official capacity, I have been received
with such indulgence, as puts it out of my power to thank you
as I ought ; and I wish to take this opportunity of publicly re-
turning my thanks to my .rother Actors, by whose assistance I
have been enabled to perform the duties of my arduous situa-
tion. They have conducted themselves towards me like friends
and brethren, and my thanks arc due to every individual. I
mention this, because I know an opinion prevails that there is
always a schism behind the curtain; but so much the contrary
has been the case in the present Season,that the harmony which
has subsisted, has been like that of a private family. As this is
probably the last time I shaltever have the honour of addressing
you, I find my feelings deeply affected in pronouncing the word
ForeircU!---May hea:ils, happiness, and prosperity attend you."
The emphasis with which the concluding words
were pronounced, had an electric effect on the whole
house, and Mr. S. KEMBLE must have felt much ra-
tified. Applauses were heard, and handkerchiefs
waved, from all parts of the Theatre. He then bowed
and quitted the Stage. The Comic Interlude of
Sylvester Dagg,ertvood followed, in which " a Gentle-
man" appeased as the hero of the scene, and gave
imitations of several eminent performers with great
effect. Those of MATHEWS and KEAN were peculiarly
happy, and were received y4Ol loud applause.—The
Farce of Modern Antiques dosed t.,e evenings enter-
ment. The greater part of the audience left the
Theatre on the conclusion of the Play.

many of the amateurs are so sanguine as to go a pass turtaer.
A fatal contest took plate on Saturday night between two
men, one of the name of Enoch Davis, the other Sitphen Junes. It
appears that they bad bees rivals in their addresses to a trades-
man's daughter, and that Jones was accepted for her future hus-
-1
band. In consequence of this preference Davis vowed hostility
against the other, and whenever he met him endeavoured with-

fight ; his manner, and the refusal of the other to engage in a
contest with a man against whom he entertained no enmity,
attracted a crowd around them, and Davis took this public op-
portunity of saying, that if JOISt3 would fight and beat him, he
. , I would give up all his pretensions to the girl, who, be maintain-
*/ ed, had loved himself before she knew Jones. Jones still wished

two hours with such desperate fury that they at length fell to.
