3fR.VANDENIIO7 F'S RETIREMENT FROM THE STAGE.—
As we have mentioned on previous occasions, this v

actor.of the classic school of dramatic art is about to retire
from the stage, and is about to withdraw from public ad-
miration by a series of performances before that audience,
and their descendants, which, forty years ago, hailed his
rising talent, and laid the foundation of his fame. In

Liverpool he plumed his youthful wing, and from her
cognoscenti he earned his earliest laurels, and among
them he proposes to make his valedictory appearance. In

to Mr. Vandenhoff in the autumn, when he has brought
his professional labours here to a close, and that some
suitable memento accompany it, to mark the respect
entertained for a gentleman who is associated

idea to be thrown out in order to be seized upon and

time for the requisite preparations being matured in a
style worthy the man and the occasion." In th
priety of the suggestion we sincerely cone

ar, and trust

will be carried out, to use the emphatic words of our con-
temporary, "in a style worthyof the man and the occasion."
