it will not be deemed indelicate foI a member, to
call the attention OF the public to a statement of
the affairs of the Howard Hisrionic Corps.
This society has now been in operation up
wards Of IL months, with what claims to support,
the public must Judge. Circumstances render il
peculiarly announcement for some of the presen,
members TO continue as such, and as it is the ear.
nest wish Of those members to see the affairs of
the society entirely adjusted before Withdrawing
themselves from further responsibility, the society
has resolved on taking such course as will ac.
complish all they wish, and meet the appreciation
and support of the public. -
The plan proposed, and adopted at the last
meeting OF the company is, to perform popular
play and farce, at an early period, (of which due
notice will be given the proceeds of which will
be applied to the payment of the debts of tn,
Corps; and another play and farce will be brougA,
forward Tor the benefit Of such public improvement:
or private charity as will certainly meet the hearty
cooperation of the public, spirited or benevolent.
Immediately after the performances above alluded
70, full adjustment Of the pecuniary liabilitie,
OF the society will be made, and its operation,
closed at least for the present.
In thus announcing its early dissolution, tho

thanks to their friends for the liberal encourage.
ment they have so generally received, and The
kind indulgence which has been extended to their
(aults-and they would wish to retire, INDUCING
the hope that while catering for the amusement Of
their friends and seeking their own improvement.
they have not been betrayed into utterance of SEN.

make the morast compress his brow into rrow0
or give shock to public taste.
