which the heart enjoys, but the tonne boasts net of.
It islike that still music, which the ancients suppo-
sed is going on above—not the less sweet for "its
making no noise in the ears of the world. I shall,
therefore, leave to those among you,wha have per-
fect happiness at home, to imagine mine ; and, in
Mrs. Moore's name, drink all your healths."
A number of other toasts and elegant addresses,
were given by Mr. SHIELS, Mr. POWER, Mr.` PHIL-
LIPS, Mr. PLUNICIIT, Mr. O'Comatt, and other Gen-
tlemen, and the day was spent with the highest
conviviality.

Mr. MATHEWS 'concluded his Entertainments at
the Lyceum last night with the following Address :
LADISI /11(11 Geisrissrs--The only painful part of my exer-
tions now remains—that of bidding you farewell. The great
Patent Theatres have so entirely exhausted the language of self-
commendation, that they have left me no choice of trellis that
can express rnv gratitude, for " overflowing and bsilllant audi-
ences"—" rapturous, unanimous, and unbounded applause"—
" roars of laughter"—" unqualified approbation"---and " ' un-
precedented success." I must, therefore, content myself with
offering a less pompous, but not less sincere, phraseology, the
humble tribute of my heartfelt thanks. Accept, Ladies and
Gentlemen, this homely but genuine expression of my feelings,
and believe that it will be the proudest recollectiqn of my life, that
during thf course of forty evenings' entertainments, I hay., been
hoeoured nut only with full Houses but also by your approba-
tion and applause. The question, whether I had done wisely in,
leaving the boards of what ire called the regular theatres, and
which was some time problematical, is now decided, and I may
say (without more vanity than your encouragement will full'
justify) is decided in my favour. I now, therefore, leave the
metropolis with that plentiful harvest which has ripened in the
sunshine of your favour. But this I beg to state distinctly, that
while I am advised that my performances ere withisithe strict
letter of the law, no fear shall deter me from proceeding, and
that I will resist strenuously asd firmly any measures that may
be pursued to support an injurious monopoly to my injury ; and
that I shall double all the energies of my resistance from the re-
collection that I am contending in the cause of the public, who
have no right to be curtailed of their lawful amusements, or to
be told by patentees—" If you won't tome to laugh a ith us, we
will take care you shall not go to laugh elsewhere !" That I
than make you laugh again and again, I sincerely hope, and
though I must choose a merrier subject than patent theatres and
monopoly, I do not doubt that I shall have the cordial satisfac-
ti of meeting again mat year as many smiling faces as have
graced this Theatre for Ete last forty nights that I have had the
honour and happiness of receiving you " Ar Home!"
Ma. BnAmsrx's TRAVELS.—It has been justly ob-
served that the " Letters of a Prussian Traveller"
which are just published describe a Tour of such ex-
tent, that even the most cursory remarks made in
differer.t parts of it, will We found to accumulate a
stock of very interesting ir.formation
Performed in Company with a Gentleman of rank and for-
tune, its Author possessed the advantage of the best introduc-
tions, and availing himself of them wherever be found society
sufficiently relieved from the distractions of politics and the ap-
proach of armies to pay the attentions of hospitality to strangers •
be has described the fashionable circles of Vienna, Rome, and
other Cities, with Faint vivacity and effect. • His stay at Naples
has enabled him to give several interesting anecdotes of Murat,
and also of an illustrious pers‘mage froVn dui own Country mai-
-1 dent at that time in his Coart. 'Pte account of the Manioc s,
their modes of living, and their atrocious piracies is full of aid-
ous facts, many of which have scarcely come withkillte oboe-
ration of any other traveller. The great merit of Mr. Beau-
Weil work is its siniplicity : for the security of truth we gladly
'relinquish that fullness of description which sometime- leads the
, reader I. suspect that eirewitstances are brought together in or-
der to forma complete effect. Extensive as the Tour is, and
short as was the time in which it was performed, Mr. Bawls*,
disclaims at once the affectation of minute description, or
borate investigation, his object is to describe things as he saw
them at an acute though rapid glance, hence his sketches hays
all the freshness of reality about them, and give much useful in-
formation to those who may have it in their power to follow Mai
La his interesting route, and with more leisure at their cool-
mend to dwell upon tea various objects of curiosity and interest
which it affords.
PUGILISTIC MATCH BETWEZ* RANDALL AND

BURKE, AT WIMBLEDON COMMON.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour; the fanciers
of scientific milling, as soon as their peepers were
opened, &rushed off in quick time, to behold their
" darling boy" once more display his extraordinary
capabilities. Randall was the favourite, and his elec-
tion was looked upon as a certainty, but with the
trifling difference of giving plumpers instead of re-
ceiving them. Burke was not without his friends;
yet upon the canvass he was looked upon rather shy.
Jack the Butcher, Dodd, West Country Dick, Barrack,
Parish, Holt, Bclasco, &c. had all fell beneath his
conquering arm in succession. The battle was to
have taken place at Moulsey Hurst, but the Magis-
trates would not permit it. Combe Warren was the
next place fixed upon, and every thing was quite
ready, when the Magistrates again interposed their
authority. Some now began to think there would be
no battle at all, when the Commander in Chief, Mr.
Jackson, gave the word for Wimbledon Common.,
