Ditthi'4:-LANE TREATILE. . ••••••••.1.• A General Meeting of the Proprietors of*Dritry: l i ne Theatre took place in the Saloon yesterday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the appoint of the Sub-Committee, as agreed upon by the 6eneral Committee. The Earl of YARMOUTH having been unanimously called to the Chair, Mr. WARD, as Secretary of the Theatre, proceeded 1 1 read the Advertisement by which the Meeting va s convened. The Earl of YARMOUTH then stated, that the ques fon which he, as Chairman, had to put, was, wise d:es the Meeting would agree to the nomination made b- the General Committee? If any Gentleman ob iced to such nomination, the regular course was to cap for a ballot, which, in that case, must imme diately take place. Mr. ROBINS said, that before they proceeded to the basines of the day, he wished to put a question of some importance. He had seen in the News papers, that a prr.position was made by the Sub- Committee to the Creditors, stating that they would r yceribe to the amount of 5,.5001. each, for the dis 'arge of a part of the debt. He was desittus •to w whether all the Members of the Sub-Com tet, had agreed to this, and whether they still re , l ed of the same opinion ? Ir. laosstosoza said, that the proposal originated him, and was agreed to by all the Members.---' feeting of the Creditors was held in consequence, , t the proposal was not acceded to by them. At a ,h,event Meeting, however, he believed their ob .:tom were remosed, and they were now willing tcept the offer. He was bound to state at the e time, that Mr. Wilson, who, as one of the Sub amiace, was ready in the first instance to advance JO. had since the refusal of the Creditors to ac • their prorsal, changed his mind. r.liosms observed, that the proposition, as he Istood, was made, upon condition that all the iitors should come into the terms, he was there ii.ow to acknowledge the great merit of the Sub !limey in making such a proposition, as they be aware that it was almost impossible it could beeti.accepted. He could himself name some eteditors who could never be prevailed upon; ire it their sanction. He wished to be under . distinctly, as making no objection to it on his w t, as he thought that any Gentleman who find so liberal an offer was, under the circum; ces of the Theatre, fit for Bedlam . ; but, if he . suggest any thing to the Sub-Committee, he say, that they should offer 10s. in the pound limy as would come into the terms, and make , ont bargain they could with the remainder. He gritted that the Members of the Sub-Committee loot present. ' , T.TURTON excused their abience on the ground ,seicacy as their conduct might be expected to Mee the subject of inquiry. Ile agreed with Mr. %;:s that the refusal of the creditors generally to ectthe liberal offer of the Sub-Committee, was ‘xtof madness. The Gentlemen who made the ; would, in all likenood, never sce a sixpence per money again. Mr. Wilson, he was sure, perfectly sincere in the offer to bear his propor id the expense ;, but as the creditors had refused, la he believed he felt that the Committee was be was perfectly justified in retracting his intention. Far his own part, he felt disposed to Alta vote of thanks to these Gentlemen tor their Beaky, and if the creditors generally felt any re grd for their own interest—if they felt any inclina •to support one of the great national Theatres, , considered on the score of humanity, the num ef whose support depended ea its stn - they would concur in this measure, which was only one that afforded the slightest prospect of ,ing the Theatre open. With respect to their ' of the Sub-Committee, he had always ait unnbcessary but as some persons enter- At; on the subject, it was as well to go the form. If those Gentlemen would come rani to treat with the creditors again, the last igthcy would do would be to accept their terms. llr.Ronms entered into a juitificatken of the select sittee, of which he was Chairman. He said it ! was their intention to stop at an advance of N. or 10,000/. but merely to advance the 5,0001. F.rt instance as a beginning. The conduct of :Sob-Committee was not, therefore, so much more a-ral as had been represented. He could not give SultoCorranittee credit for liberality, because their P, in hi; opinion, amounted to nothing. They e, as nearly as possible, in a state of bankruptcy, 4he would not stand in the way of any arrange tent which might keep the Theatre open. .Mr. TIM /LONGER said, he had made the proposi- Lriginally with the utmost sincerity, and had -at, Auden to find it was received in the same Ot. They were all most anxiouf that it should be 07:Q3 into effect. He would again renew it with 1:.• au cordial disposition. Ile question, for agreeing in the nomination ofJ ti . .ts•Cominittee, being then put, rose to object to Mr. Alderman Cox, It:::':eground, that as he held the office of auditor ant qualiEed to become a member cif the Sub. ( 11;rsittee ; as in that case he would have to audit t:. . accounts. !:•C CHAIRA AN said, that Alderman Cox had re -7 ...td his situation as auditor. iloems accordingly withdrew his objection. Oze of the Creditors acknowledged the liberality 4-. 4 Sub-Committee, but thought it unjust that the t '. , itsmen should lose one-half of their debt without Fospect of recovering more. Sir TROXAS TWATON thought that their policy all be to let the Theatre as soon as possible—a that was not practicable until those demands diFpesed of. No one would take it loaded with an incnnibrazce, There were many other debts telt disposett of as well as the tradesmen's and if l'e . ; ' , mild consent to defer their claims after the ;?;:ner.t of ten shillings in the pound, until the other t."' ...ere disc an arrangement might pro bc made to effect. If some determination Lot come to on this subject, they never could go 7 . unless they could contrive to remove the Theatre 1 . 0 the King's Bench, to go to jail themselves, and lir the benefit of the Insolvent Act.

Mr. Roams suggested that ten shillings should tie paid to 'the tradesmen on their old debts, but that twenty shillings should be allowed on those contrac ted during the last season. Mr. WALKER expressed his conviction that all the creditors would agree to such a proposal. The appointment of the Sub-Committee was then confirmed by the Meeting. The cpiestion for the Chairman leaving the Chair heir g put, Mr. GEORGE ROBINS stated, that as this was pro bably the last time he should have occasion to ad dress the Drury-Lane Proprietary, he felt more than usually anxious to avail himself of it. This desire arose from a variety of circumstances, which he should afterwards enumerate; and first, he had found himself attacked in a printed circular paper, called a Report of the Sub-Committee. This paper was as widely as it was indiscreetly circulated, and at the Meeting in September laic was presented to the Ge neral Assembly. At this period, and for the last seven weeks, he had been absent from England, and he lamented that none of his friends (knowing he was in Paris), had not vindicated him from this side winded attack of this half-constituted Sub-Commit tee. In this precious document they had charged him with being the principal instigator of the vexa tious proceedings in Chancery ; now it was very well known that he acted with several other Gentlemen, as a Special and Select Committee, who had done him the honour of nominating him (when Lord Kin , naird left England) their Chairman. In this capacity t he did institute, with the general concurrence of his colleagues, the application to the Lord Chancellor; but these Gentlemen of the Sub-Committee forgot, in theirfamous Report, to state what had provoked this application ; they had entirely passed over their own disobedience to the positive direction of a large majority of their constituents, who had pronounced them utterly dispolfred to proceed in their avoca tidns, without certain ruin staring them in the face; and that above all, they forgot the injunction of the Proprietors, not to take any step towards the re opening, till the creditors were satisfactorily arran ged with. They did no! proclaim, in this their bril iant effusion, that Mr. Colman was selected and ap proved of; as the only fit person to uphold this tot tering fabric, and that in despite of this, they enga ged Mr. Stephen Kemble as their Manager, and were going on rapidly to form the present bright company, when an injunction stayed their proceedings. These were some of the many reasons that might be urged for the appeal to the Lord Chancellor ; and he took leave to observe, that he did not envy them their pre sent feelings at this imaginary victory ; for it did not escape him, that this high Legal Authority, after la menting that the Act of Parliament was imperative, and upon that he would be obliged to dissolve the injunction, took the opportunity to state, that he had great doubts if the-Sub-Committee was legally con stituted ; and if not, they were personally liable to the creditors for the whole amount of their claims ; if this, his decision, gave them much pleasure, he would not like to rob them of its full enjoyment. This Committee had, during his absence from Ens- i land, authorized some obscure slanderer, habited it the security of an anonymous letter, to attack his motives for opposing the mis-managing Committees of the last three years. He wished he could trace the name of his assailant ; but failing in this, he had proclaimed him a libelious slanderer and cowbird in. the publication th.tt gave birth to this attack, and he should now leave the object to enjoy all the security of his anonymous attack, and. digest those epithets " with what appetite he may." But to the Proprie tary he had a different feeling, ar.d to them explana tion on one or two poiilts was due. He was accused of being a large Proprietor of Covent-garden Theatre. To that he had only to observe, that lie had not a single share in that respectable concern, nor did he originally subscribe to its re-building ; and he would add, that he only lamented having embarked at least , £4OOO in Drury Lane instead of its rival. The one held its head proudly high, while for the other he 'would like to get 2s. 6d. in the pouad upon his pro- , perty ; and this brought him to a subject upon which he found it extremely difficult to observe, even with common temper, he meant the e:ontnny of the prices. Mr. Robins observed, that tor three years past his mind had been gradually preparing, year after year, for disgrace and defeat, under such unskilful manage ment ; but he had hoped to be saved this last act of humiliation and degradation ; it was no less than to proclaim, that " poor Old Drury" was reduced to the level of a minor Theatre, and that Mr. Kean, whose bright genius and extraordinary tal.vit had kept her head high above the water, was now lowered to the rank of an actor at the second Theatre. This was too much to bear, and he did hope that the live persons out of seven who visited this property, by this last disgraceful act, should be proclaimed, that the world might know to whom they were iadebted for this ir retrievable disgrace. lle was most anxious to ex cept some of the Sub-Committee from .the censure rwhich he could not but pass on the majority. He was wholly at a loss to express in 4 aL.equate terms the respect he felt for Lord Yarmouth, and his sense of the obligations which the concern owed to his Lord ship's attention to its interests. Lord Yarmouth and Sir Thomas Turton wished that the Proprietors should he convened before this fatal step was taken. But, , no ; this was not consistent with the plan of the Mis 3Enag,ers ; they have lately lost all their popularity, and their wise plans have been male fruitless, by overwhelming majorities against them. This they had not temper or good sense enough to combat with, and therefore they took upon themselves this dreadful responsibility. Mr. Robins concluded by saying, he had now satisfied his feelings by placing upon record his opinion of their rois-management,— He should probably not again trouble them with his observations but allow them to play the " Road to Ruin" in their own way. Lord YARSSOUTH said, it was his opinion so strong a measure otsght not to have taken place without consulting the Proprietors ; but, at the same time, had it been brought forward before them, it would have had his support. Sir THOMAS TeaToN considered the reduction cif ahe prices to be most ruinous in its tendency, unless a similar course had beets taken by Covent Garden Theatre at the same time. !Ur. Roams was sorry to differ from the Noble Lord, wilose opinion being opposed to his, was almost . 4 I'L: sufficient to convince him that he (Mr. Robins) wasi in the wrong. He should, however, like to know! what apology could be made to a first-rate actor, like Mr. Kean. who, calculating on the boxes being filled at his benefit with those who would pay 7s. tor ad mittance, found the price reduced to ;is? Mr. Cm.cenrr, M.l'. wished it to be known that the cause of his not opposing any of the persons put in nomination by the General Committee on this occasion, was a convicti,n that they had so involved the concern that nobody else could be found to ac cept the management. As they had dressed their fish they must now endeavour to eat it. The lowering of the prices he held to be most ruinous. Though they had thus proclaimed themselves inferior to the other house, even the hope of profit which had been che rished was not justified. He and those who had acted with him, felt that that arraugemenc ought. to !have been made with the Creditors before the com- mencement of the season, which the Sub-Committee, were labouring to accomplish now. They had never entertained a wish to shut up the Theatre, but with a view to its being re-opened with a fairer prospect of success. If the propositions which had been made were renewed, he hoped it would be accepted by the Creditors. The situation of the Company at present was most unfortunate. They were at sea in a storm, with pilots at the helm in whcm they had no confi dence, and unable to feel satisfied with the crew who were working the vessel. • Mr. IRONMONCER renewed his assurance, that the offer had been made in sincerity. If it did not suc ceed with the Creditors, he should feel it his duty to retire. • The thanks of the Meeting were then, on the mo tion of Mr. ROBINS, voted to Lord l'antaourtt, who acknowledged the compliment in appropriate terms, and the business of the day terminated. The lively Come Ay of .4 Bold Strohrfor a Husband, was performed at this Theatre last night for the first time these three years. With such support as it re ceived from the actors, none of its attractions failed in their mirth-inspiring effect. Mrs. GLOVER, as the representative of the assumed virago, Olivia, was un commonly successful. Mrs.. MAR'uYN, as Victoria, was animated and interesting. Of Mr. MUNDEN'S lion . Ccesar we cannot 'speak too highly ; the transitions from the anger roused by his daughter's seemingly shrewish behaviour to the eager fondness of the indul gent father, were master-pieces of genuine comic acting. Mr. H. Krmats proved a very agreeable representative of the gay and airy Julio. HARLEY, 13ARNARD, and HOLLAND, as Vinceutio, Garcia, and Carlos, acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. The house was tolerably well attended, and the play went off with considerable approbation. WATER COMPANlES.—Yesterday, a very numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Tower and Fins bury Districts of London took place at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the best means of providing a remedy for the evils of which they complain, in consequence of the inade quate supply of, and excessive charge for Water in those Districts. Mr. T. B. SIIARPE (the Chairman), Mr. Bico, Mr. BUSIFORD, and several ether Gentle men, urged the necessity of adopting means to sup press the monopoly exercised on the part of the New River and East London Water Companies. A Com mittee was appointed for the purpose of collecting facts of the,great evil complained of, and to report the same.--4,ubscriptions were then opened for car rying on the busilie3-, and the Meeting adjourned. to on Tuesday night, the 20th instant, a new-built hone at Finchinfield, Suffolk, belonging to Mr. JOll N NICHOLS, was ascertained to be on fire. The inhabitants of the village were quickly upon the spot with the parish and the Bardficld engines. The flames, however, were not subdued until thee o'clock the next morning, by which time nearly the whole building was consumed, the brick work only remain ing. the accident originated by a fire, which had been imprudently left in one of the rooms to air it, communicating to a quantity of loose shavings. Saturday morning a fit.: broke out on the premi ses of Pearce Williams, near Hatfield, Essex, which entirely destroyed two barns, granary, and cow•house, the produce of thirty-eight acres of barley, and of forty-one acres of wheat, besides waggons and carts. The accident occurred from the heating of some lime deposited in a cart-house. Saturday morning, soon after three o'clock, a fire broke out in a melting-office, belonging to Mr. James Cusse, chandler, in Meeting-lane, M'artnitister, which, with a range of warehouses and workshops, and the. dwelling-house of Mrs. and Miss Smith, dress-makers, was entirely consumed. From the situation of the premises and the narrowness of the street, the en gines could nor be brought to bear with effect ; but the progress of the devouring element was arrested, and the houses in the Market-place saved, by cutting down an i.ttervening house. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that Mrs. Smith and her daughters had not time to save even their apparel, and not being insured, are by this calamity deprived of every thin. A DANDY Row !—Yesterday, Henry C. Morns, Robert Henry Cathcart, and James Martin, three hay dad,/ little gentlemen, were brought to Hatton .Gar den Office, on a night charge, for beating and assault ing William King, an old watchman, and breaking his thumb with a blow, at the hour o f ! one o'clock that morning, in Mabledon-place, near Burton-Crescent. After mach altercation, it was agreed upon that the prisoners should pay King thirty shillings in satisfac tion for the damage he received, and five shillings each to five other watchmen, for their trouble ; and then to come into the Office and make a public apology, and give a promise not to be guilty of a like offence in future. With much reluctance the little Dandies came forward and made the public apology reqUired, and likewise a promise not to of fend in the same manner in future ; when, after re ceiving a suitable lecture, they were discharged, en. ' paying the sum agreed upon, and further proceed ings were dropped. The Secretary to a Confederacy of journeymen ab sconded a few days since with the whole of the funds, between five and six thousand pounds. He went away in a post-chaise and four for Gravesend, and there embarked for America. Thisfaithful.confidant wrote to his employers, stating that he would remit the interest on his arrival at Philadelphia; as is the principal, they must wait for that until it suited his convenience ! We also learn, that lie has taken with him four journeymen, all eminent in their respective branches of trade.

At Huntingdonshire Quarter ssions, on Tuesday last, Joc.6s and Jttin Fara were indicted fee steeling ajertain tity of corn in the straw, the property of lldr. Bradley, of A bury Wt ston. This indictment was brought forward by the seclitor more with a view to invalidate, as a right claimed b poor, the custom of gleaning after t.• corn is carried, than any desire of inflicting punishment on the offenders. In the ti Of last harvest \.r. BradleY's reapers demanded an increase wages.; he said he could not agree to that, but if they Went with their work, fie would allow them, and none others, to • the field after harvest—to thins they agreed. On the Itth or last Au - go,t, es Mr. Bradley was ectrini of his fields about tight o'cinek in the mot rang, he met pri , siners, and hid them good mom Mag. Jacobs said," I am here to glean." Mr. B. answered, " No, I think not." ' rejoined-1 I'll be d—d if I don't, and here goes.". was near enough to hear every word Jacobs said. Mr. B. in the field until the. hod gleaned nearly a handful each--he told them more than once they had better leave off, but - • they went, on.—On his cross-examination, dr. B. admitted Faveil had reaped in his field, but it was in lieu of his son, bad been engaged as a reaper, and was then in the field • log. Prosecutor had heard that it was cried through the s that none but the reapers should be permitted to glean ; was not by his order. Except in one field, he gave them to glean on all his grounds. Mr. liner, as Counsel for the prisoners, argued, that under an opinion of right, they had been guilty only of pass, and not a felony ;. but this opinion was over-ruled I Bench, who said, that barely taking up, although they wards threw away what they had gleaned, according to ; of Parliament, which was quoted, constituted a felony. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to seven days finement in the common jail. At the Quarter Sessions for the East Riding of Yorkshire, at Beverley, list week, Elisabeth ',cloud, wife of George land, of Beverley, cow-keeper, for stealing a quantity of in the straw, the property of Mr. William Lee, of Leekor. was sentenced to be imlirisoned in the House of Correction week, and fined ls. This case arose out of the prisoner's going to glean. front , prosecutor's field, without lea-e, though warned to the sontret and before it was quite cleaned and raked. The CHAIRMAI•: particularly impressed it on the anent' those present, that no person had a right to enter the ft another without leave ; and that gleaning itself was a trespass. Tuesday sennight, a partridge was caught Saloon of the Liverpool Theatre. A field in the parish of Ashbocking, neat Ipswic presents at this period of the year the novel ar ante of bay on the swathe and upon the cock. grass was very luxuriant, and although the of a greenish hue, it is thought it will be got sufficient order to become oxcellent fodder for sent use.
