The fancy fair and bazaar for the benefit of distressed
foreigners, was opened on Wednesday at the rooms in Hanover Square. At two o'clock the doors were thrown open ; but the crowd was so great that only a portion of it could find admittance. One of the stalls was in- scribed with the name of the Queen, and her Majesty occupied a box immediately opposite it. The Duke of Wellington was in her train. The number of stalls was sixteen ; and among the ladies who presided over the sale of the articles they contained, were the Marchioness of Tavistock, Countess of Denbigh, Baroness de Rothschild, Countess of Jersey, Baroness Billow, and Countess of Morton.
A memorial has been prepared, to be submitted to his 'Majesty, pray- ing his sanction to build another theatre, the cost of which shriuld not exceed 35,0001., plans and estimates having been prepared by competent persons, which insure its completion at that price. The money is to be raised in 100/. shares.
