We congratulate Mr. PEAXE on the substantial proof of public
favour afforded hint by his benefit on Thursday ; which was a benefit in the fullest sense of the term. The Lyceum was completely filled, with a select audience, at Drury Lane prices; three rows of stalls in the pit, in addition to the balcony seats, being also taken at half. a- guinea each. The entertainments were various and lively, went off extremely well, and gave perfect satisfaction. KEMBLE'S noble and gannet personation of Charles the Second, KEELEY'S drollery as Bidy Black, T. P. COOKE'S Sailor, in a comic sketch by IVEnsTrat called Long Yarns, and OXBERRY'S burlesque imitation of PERROT'S pirouettes, were the most striking features of the performances. 11. and ANDERSON, Miss BETTS and Miss IIEALEY, HARLEY and RAYNER, furnished the musical melange.
