A CARD, .
THE COMMITTEE of the BRUNSWICK CLUB,
for conducting the Amateur and other Performances on
behalf of the SUFFERERS by the OCEAN MONARCH, on the
Evening of Thursday last, at the Theatre Royal, avail them-
selves of the earliest opportunity of returning thanks to the
Professional Ladies and Gentlemen who so nobly and gratui-
tously assisted them on that occasion.
The conduct of M. H. Simpson, Esq., in placing the Theatre
and its properties at their disposal, free of all charge, deserves
to be honourably mentioned, and generally known. The Com-
mittee have also derived the greatest assistance from thepolite-
nese and attention of Mr. Wadds, the Manager's clever and
accomplished representative.
To W. R. Copeland, Esq., the Manager of the Royal Am-
phitheatre, the Committee owe the expression of their gratitude
for the facilities which they received at his hands. He aided
the project, at much personal inconvenience, by the cervices of
several ladies and gentlemen attached to his establishment.
The Committee also beg to tender their acknowledgments to
Major-General Sir William Warre, to Colonel Garratt, and the
Officers of the 46th Regiment, for the use of the splendid band
belonging to the regiment, which played during the interval of
the performances.
The Committee feel deeply the services of Mr. Baker and his
promising daughter, whicL were as handsomely tendered as
they were promptly accepted.
To the musical elite of the town, Miss Whitnall, Mrs. George
Holden, Miss Jessie Hammond, and Miss Marsh, together
with Messrs. Ryalls, Bishop, Armstrong, Aldridge, and Holden,
one of the most pleasing and attractive features of the evening
—the concert—owed its existence. Mr. Smith, of Lord-street,
liberally placed at the disposal of the committee one of his
most beautiful instruments—a grand horizontal piano-forte.
To the Gentlemen Amateurs, whose performance will long be
remembered with pleasure by all who were present; to Mr.
G. Cooke, and the other gentlemen who acted as money-
takers and checkers ; to Messrs. Ilurton and M'Coy, who pre-
sente4 donations in printing, the thanks of the Committee are
hereby tendered.
The Committee cannot conclude without expressing their
appreciation of the liberal support which the public extended
to them on this occasion, without which the employment of the
highest talent or the greatest exertions would have been una-
vailing.
The Committee handed over. on FRIDAY last, to D. NEIL-
SON, Esq., ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY POUNDS, the pro-
ceeds of the Amateur Performance at the Theatre-Royal, for
the Relief of the Surviving Sufferers by the above lamentable
calamity.
