traded, and nvOrt rounds of applanez made their
triumph complete at the close of the Play.
When the curtain fell, Mr. PaNtey came forward
to announce the Play for this evening, but he was
met by a general cry of " Elliston, Elliston I" Mr.
Et tasTort then made his appearance, and spoke to
the following eftect :
" Lmoss Ara Galenism—As the bare announcement of a'
Play for•another evening, may not be considered sufficient on
this occasion, kappear, in obedience to your call, and return
you soy most grateful acknowledgments for this additional mark
of yogi. favour. Do not, however, be too sanguine in the ex-
pression of your approb4tion for what I have done, but reserve
your applauses, and wait tM you we the endeavours I shall make
to deserve them. I have come here with a determination that
these doors shall at all times be open to merit and genius; and
that this 'Theatre shall be devoted lo the legitimate Drama of
our Country. - I *lab also to inform you that, besides the best
Performers who can be procured, all your old favourites shall
be retained."
Mr. Etstsrost then announces' the Opera of The
Devil's Midge for to-morrow, in which Mr. BRAMAN
would take ale character of Count Be lino, and Miss
CAREW that of Rosalvina ; and, in consequence of,
the very cordial reception given to the Play of that
evening, he solicited their.permission to announce the
Play of Wild Oats for Wednesday.
This short Address was frequently broken by loud
plaudits, which were renewed at its close. The Farce
of Lock and Key was then acted in a masterly style,
and the audience retired, at once charmed with the'
embellishments which the House has received, and
with the strength of the Company, so felicitously de-
veloped in the first night's performance.
COVENT-GARDEN.—The Tragedy of King Henry
the Fifth was acted last night at this Theatre, and
Mr. MACRVADY, for the first time, assumed the part
of the British Monarch and Hero. It was a most
spirited and effective performance. Miss Foore, in
l'rincess Katharine, was highly interesting, add the
whole Play went off to the perfect satisfaction of a
full House. Mother Goose closed the entertainments.
ENGLisli OPERA-HOCiE.--This very interesting
and deservedly popular Theatre closed for the season
on Saturday evening, when the following Address
was delivered by Mr. HARLEY. The Duke of Sus-
tsEx was present :
" Ladle.; and Gentlemen—For the first time since the esta-
blUntent of this Theatre, I have the distinguished honour of
offering our Farewell Address in the resence of a Royal Visitor.
" The Proprietor ha! felt it to he impossible to pass over so
flattering an event, without reclining to the origin of the English
Opera House, founded under the 'pedal and gracious auspices
of our revered and beloved King; and, though the wiser= of
the present Government has deemed it proper to zurtail the ori-
ginal Licence, granted, by Command of his sLwr.erir, from twelve
tofour months, he cannot resist the impulse which his heart dic-
tates on this gratifying occasion, of publicly expressing, through
me, his gratitude, devotion, and affection, to his Royal Patron
and his august Family ; and he trusts that he may be permitted
to avow those feelings more especially on the present occasion
towards the illustrious Prince who has this evening coedescended
to seek amusement within our walls.

" To sa y more, were to risk offending that delicacy which is
ever tit: companion of high desert ; hat, that the feelings I have
bad the honour to descr be, are experienced in common with the
whole Empire, is proved by the unanimous testimony of all who
have the happiness to fall under the notice of his Royal High-
ness; and by the heartfelt enthusiasm of applauding multitudes,
wherever the spirit of inquiry, or the mild oiSces of charity, con-
duct his Royal presence.
" Ladies and Gentlemen-•-I catinot sink from so exalted a
subject to the were common-plate of a Theatrkal Farewell, but
his ltoyal Highness having been pleased to identify himself with ,
the Public, by mixing with them as a fellow-subject on this oc-
casion, I cannot better second his gracious intention, than by ad-
dressing his Royal Highness and you as one collective family.
In that character I have now the honour to offer to you, the
grateful acknowledgments of the Proprietor for your past pa-
tronage ; and he trusts he has not been found wanting in his in-
deavour to deserve It for the future. Brielly then, in his name,
and that of all the Psoforrners, I respectfully take my leave,
wishing you all health and happiness till we meet again."

MR. LEAN.
