THESPIANS REVIVED.
The Thespian Society of Raleigh, to which the public have been indebted for much refined amusement, and the Academy for substantial aid in its funds, and which has for some time been in a state of demise, we are happy to say, has lately resuscitated with renovated vigour under the Presidency of Mr. Greville. The Classic Drama of the Stranger, and the humorous Farce of the Ways of Windsor will be the subjects for their next entertainment.
