being arri ved;in compliance with long established custom,
I present myself to pay the usual tributeof respect on leas-
taking; but before I make my obeisance, it may not be
ill-timed to remark, that the change which has recently
taken place in the direction of title theatre has necessa-
rily created difficulties, which however perplexing they
may have been to.the proprietors, they trust have in no
degree diminished the stock of amusement which it was
their fluty asinli as inclination to provide for the pub-
lic. They a conscious that neither evertion or ex-
pense on theit part be. been spared. and their best re-
ward will be to knew that you, their liberal patrons,
give them credit for it.
" patio, the recess. Ladies assiOentleuero, it will be
their permitted endeavours to procure for the ensuing
season novelties of every description, which, chequered
by the revival of oar best-considered pieces, supported by
the combined talent of the company, will, I trust, enable
them to maintain Covent-Garden Theatre the first in
desert, as, they feel proud to say, it already is the first
in favour with the British public.
" Through me, their stage-manager, Ladies and Oen-
Omen, the proprietors thank you for a good season ;
the performers, for your favour and indulgence; and,
with the most grateful acknowledgments of all, until the
• Ist of October, I respectfully bid you farewell."
