THE BROUGH'S FAREWELL.

When we went to press last night it was quite decided that the Sachsen should leave here for Shanghai on Thursday next, thus en- abing Mr. Brough to give his last performance on Wednesday night. Later in the evening, however, Messrs. Melchers & Co. received a caule from Singapore stating that the Sachsen would reach Hongkong at 5 am: on Wednes day and leave the same day for Shan hai. Another rearrangement was cons.quently com pulsory and elsewhere it is notified that the Brough season will positively close on Tuesday night.
