This night the entertainments at the Theatre are for the benefit of Mr J. Brunton, under the patronage of the Duchess of Marlborough. His own merits would procure him a bumper, but the patronage of her Grace will insure him all the adjacent nobility ; so that we expect not only a crowded but brilliant audience. The performances are, The Wife of Two Husbands, the dance of Goody Tivo Shoes, and Catherine and Petruchio.

Brunton, Mr Murray, and Mr Bennet. George Barnwell will be performed at Lewes, to-night, for the joint benefit of Mr and Mrs Dormer, and Mr and Mrs Whaley.
