eath by apoplexy, on the 20th ult., of Alfred Bunn, who for some two years past has been living at Boulogne.--Mr. Bunn is principally known from his connection with the stage. In 1826 he was the manager of the Birmingham Theatre, and in 1833 managed both the Drury Line and Covent Garden theatres in London, continuing his charge of the Drury Lane till 1848. During this long period Mr. Bunn produced the popular series of opera by Balfe, while he effected engagements with such performers is their various departments as Malibran, Kean, and Macready, and our own Forrest was through him first brought before an English public. Mr. Bunn has written a weak book on America; three sprightly volumes entitled "The Stage: Before and Behind the Curtain, " and the libretto to Balfe's "Bohemian Girl," many of the songs of which are so familiar in this country. In private life he was much esteemed. His death was very sudden, and he continued writing for the London Era to the day before his death.
