BENIGN BENEVOLENCE. TO THB EDITOH OF THE STAB. Sib, — Those of the public who have read " Bleak House " will remember that Mr Turveydrop considered it his duty to show himself in certain parts of London, in order that the rising generation might have placed before them a correct model of gentlemanlike deportment. It is very satisfactory to know that the Press reporter attends the Theatre Royal for the same purpose. If any one doubts this, let him read the notice of Saturday night's performance in this morning's Press. The critic kindly, and with a bland benignity which Turveydrop could not have excelled in his happiest moments, informs the public that " We went more with the intention of assisting a ship in the right direction," &c. Very kind, and very complimentary both to the public and the Theatre Boyal Company. How consoling to know that we have a theatrical — and shall I say artistic and musical ? — Turveydrop among us. Your obedient servant, DRAMA.
