Caleraft, the celebrated lessee of the Theatre Royal, on the left of the chairman. The chairman made a speech highly complimentary to Dr. Joy, to which the latter re: :——He said he had been a long time amongst them, and he had hardly looked for 50 warm, so affectionate a mark of regard as he had received from the numerous assemblage of friends which he saw around him. He had been now connected for eighteen years with the Theatre Royal, Dublia—(hear)—a long period; and during his connection with that establishment he had but one object in view—namely, to maintain, as fur as lay in his power, the res (Hear, hear.) Fortunate ly for himself his aid was but little required, while he co-operated with so able a man asthe gentleman who was now sitting near him. (Hear, hear.) He was certain that Mr. Calcraft appreciated his efforts to uphold his posi- tion as a gentleman and a stage manager. (Hear, hear.) ey had ever been directed towards assist- ing him inthe discharge of his difficult duties, | and Le a the esteem and regard of the gentle- men with whom they had been both associated. The times had changed from what they were; but he (Mr. Joy) felt proud that, after eightcen years’ ser- vice, he had so many friends about him testifying that he had done his duty. (Hea He hardl. knew whether to be most proud of public po: tion, in connection with the theatre, or of the socia! ee in which he felt himself among his private friends. (J1ear.) He was going to America with Miss Catherine Hayes, (hear,) whom he hesitated not to call one of the brightest ornaments, as a fe- mate voealist, that Ireland had produced,” (Hear, hear.) Recollecting the position to which she had raised herself, and her conduct Sispugh life, he felt that so far from their visit to America being a specu- lution, those circumstances, added to the sympathy felt towards Ireland in America would ensure a hearty weleome to Miss Hayes in that country. (lear.) His tour in America might last for months, or for years; but it could never remove from his mind the feeling of deep gratitude which he enter- | tained for the Kindness which he had invariably ex- perienced, not only from his friends in Dublin, but also from those in every part of Jreland. (Hear, hear.) That was the fast occasion on which he would see many of them for a length of time; but there was one point connected with his retu which he entertained a warm feeling, to whi would give expression. Catherine Hayes had stipu- lated in their arrangement that on leaving America she should come back to Ireland, (hear, hear;) and the pleasure of their return would be much en- hanced if, as he believed it would happen, they should Sepren to-be able to come direct from New York to Galway. (Applause.) Dr. Joy, ia conclu- sion, again thanked his friends for their kind marks of regard. After soveral speeches, The Chairman returned thanke in the warmest terms for a compliment paid to him; and then rose to propose the health of Mr. J. W. Calcraft. r. Caleraft said he came there not expecting any compliment to be paid to himself, but for the purpose of paying a well deserved compliment to another (hear, hear); and he could only return bis heartfelt thanks for the manner in which his own name had been received. When he and Mr. Joy had been associated together for so long a period ay eighteen years, as principal and officer, he thought that there must have been something good in both ofthem. (Hear, hear.) He was now about to part with one who had been a faithful and zealous oflicer and an affectionate friend. Dr. Joy was leaving them, he trusted, only for a short time, and for his own advantage. He was leaving in fir company (hear, hear); and he (Mr. Caleraft) hoped that he would come back to them soon again, by the route which he himself had mentioned, and ‘* money in both pockets. Applause.) The health of Miss Catherine Hayes was then drank with enthusiasm, and afterwards the health of the Vice-Chairman, Sir Richard Baker, and the company separated about eleven o'clock, highly gratified with the entertainment. At Paris, a musician, formerly of great promise, and laureat of the institute, M. Gaspard Koll, has just died. He gained the grand prize for musical composition in 1814; he was then in the twenty- sixth year of his age, and the pupil of Reicha and of Berton. On his return from Kome, he entered into the orchestra of the Italian Opera, where he layed the contrebasse. He married the widow of ucray Duménil, the celebrated romancier, and re- tired early in his musical career. » Mile.

M. J. Vogt, the organist, of Friburgh, has just died, at the age of thirty-eight years, at Paris. The great talent of this artiste, although so young, was well known to the amateurs of the noble instru- ment, the only one of the kind which Friburg pos sessed. The deceased had completed his studies under a relative, M. Vogt, the organist of the cathedral of Colmar, who was him-clf a pupil of the great Michael Haydn. We lately noticed the invention, by a German, of a bed, whic’ mere pressure of the weight of the body, was » be capable of soothing, by its me- lodious tones, any person to “sleep.” A Belgian a has forwarded to the exhibition in Hyde Park a piano of a contrary tendency, likely to keep its audience “awake.” It plays funtasias, contra dances, and waltzes, of which the repertoire is easily renewed.

At Madrid, the Theatre Real del Oriente has been on the eve of bankruptey. The dressmakers, seeue painters, and the greater part of the subaltern employés have not been paid since the commenee- ment of the season—that is to say, since the month of October last year. There was a regular insur- rection, and the performances could not go on. Tho Queen was obliged to come forward to the assist- ance of the management, and granted it a subven- tion of two millions of reals (about £29,000.) Madame Alboni, whose engagement expired on the 19th of February, has been re-engaged till 19th of March. At Berlin, the King of Prussia has commissioned M.

It is in the art of “Luerezia Borgia” that the artiste has justi- ed the brilliant reputation which preceded her.
