Theatre-Royal. This evening, being the 8th instant, will be
presented, (not performed this season) the comedy of 
The Recruiting Officer.
In the third act, and in the character of Serjeant Kite will
be introduced the favourite song of "O what a charming
Thing's a Battle." (Being the last time of performing it
this season)
The farce of 
Love a-l-Mode. 
Box tickets to be had only of Mr. Petit, next door to the
theatre.  Pit and gallery, at Mr. Rivington's, Mr. Gaine's,
and of Mr. Petit. The doors to be opened at 5, and to begin
precisely at 7 o'clock. No money can possibly be received at
the door, as the number of tickets are issued which the
house will hold.  The managers having repeatedly pointed out
the necessity of sending servants in due time, to secure
places taken in the boxes, beg leave once more to request
the attention of the public to that regulation, otherwise
they will not consider themselves as responsible for any
disappointment that may happen from such neglect. No persons
can be admitted behind the scenes.Vivant Rex & Regina.
