I DRURIPLANI THZATne —During the TiCess.. many. alteratiops and improvements have been effected in this Theatre, among which not the least important is the great sewer at present forming through : Catherine "acid' Bridges.streets,for the purpose of carrying off the con 7 Stant influx of water'arising from a spring or springs io the cellar of the Theatre, which keeps that part of ,the building in a marshy and inconvenient state. This an dertaking is attended with considerable 'difficulty Ind some danger, is on Tuesday a quntoiry of fait) . forced. knit into the cellar of the Fountain Lavern, and de 7 strayed the greater portion of sierra/pipes of wine. The depth of excavation in the'road is -17 feet, and it is expected thit they must.go upwards or 20 fret at the Theatre before they can carry this desirable obj-et into effect. Mr..Peto is the coatractor, and it is reported that betwen 2 and. 3,0001. will be expended in the un dertaking.
