ASTLEY’S AMPHITHEATRE.
This Theatre closed last night with the following Farewell Address, spoken by Mr. GOMERSAL:--
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,--I am deputed by the Manager of this Establishment to appear before you this evening, to perform the accustomed duty of returning his sincere and grateful thanks for the kind and liberal patronage you have afforded him during the season.
“In announcing its termination this evening, the Proprietor feels proud in stating to the Patrons of this Theatre, that, however productive the last five seasons may have been, the present has eclipsed them far:--thus encouraged, he feels himself emboldened to declare that his exertions for the next campaign shall in every respect correspond with that liberal patronage he gratefully acknowledges; and, in the hope of meriting a continuation of public favour and support, he most respectfully, till Easter Monday next, bids you farewell.”
