MASQUERADE AT THE KING'S THEATRE The King's Theatre was last night thrown open to this interesting species of whimsical entertainment. It was the third or fourth of the season, and was it:titled to a preference over those which pre ceded it, by the superior taste,and elegance with which the several compartments of this noble edifice were distributed. The interior of the Theatre was converted into a spacious saloon ; it was brilliantly illuminated. The Concert-room. and other rooms of the. Theatre, were appropriately decorated. and were furnished with bands of music, which quadrille parties, and reel parties, and waltz ing parties, throughout the night kept in constant requisitirn. That there is a growing taste for this species of entertainment in this metropolis is manifest—not qnly front the increase of numbers which attended the masquerade last evening, but also on account of the increased variety of character, and the ability with which it was Lustained. Some parts were admirably p erso nlfied--the ladies tilting the lead as well in ability as in beauty. Miss Pauline pry was very pretty, and very clever in her inqui sitiveness about the company's secrets; and as she was told them upon the condition of not communicating them to any body, of course she told them to every body. Juliet, by a Lady of great personal beauty, was well supported ; but owing to bee having many admirers, she was somewhat wanting in the constancy of the character. A Deskinona was also deficient in the devotedness of the part. Another Interesting character was a beautiful Slave. with many slaves in her train. Paul Pry, Sans Swipes, and Mall Flaggon were amongst the parts best stistained by Gentlemen. No new character excited much atten4oa, With the ?reception of one Gen tleman, who personated Mr. Caoss of Kzeter. 4 Citinge, deploring the loss of his elephant.—Sutpei, in a very creditaSie style, was served up at one o'cloek. and the gai e ty and mi t t h o f t h e enterta i n! . ment were prolonged to a late hour this nsorning: There was a Considerable number of ladies in the boxes and gallery, watching the antics of the crowd below them.

On Wednesday, a meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company took place, at the George and Vultdre. Tavern, Cornhill, for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of the deposits which were paid into the bank of Mesirs Everitt, Walker, and Co. on account of the Directors of this Company. JOHN Swears, Esq. in the chair, stated that the meeting was convened at his instance ; that he felt it due to his character to disclaim all participation in what had been done by those who had misappropriated the funds of the Company. He had, unfortunately, owing to, his inexperience, signed blank checks, by which means all the money in the bankers' hands was drawn. out ; and whey he had called, that day, upon the Pro jector and Manager of the Company, he received an . ,account of the money so improperly drawn from the' bankets, to the amount of 2881. He was quite ignorant •for what purpose these turns were drawn for ; but the Manager alleged, that with the money he had purchasesi 94 shares, and that he had lent 721. to his friends, who denied having received it; and that the alanee was consumed is - expences. A respectable solicitor, whose name was inserted in the prospectus of the company, said, he permitted his name to be inserted in the prospectus, believing the in tentions of the projector to be honourable: hut he had no further intimation of the operations that wet e carried on. No deed was ever prepared. He had waited upon Mr. Whinfield that day, and told him the line of con duct he had pursued was highly impioper, and that the money should be forthcoming. Mr. Whinfield con fessed his error, and said that the money should be forthcoming, or that he would most cheerfully exchange with the Subscribers Falcon Steam Navigation shares, for the brass and copper shares—(Laughter). A Shareholder said, (shaking his head), that he declined having any thing to do with the Falcon shares; that he had unfortunately 600 shares of one sort or another 'already. He recommended the Chairman to azoile,avour to get from Mr. Whinfield the 94 shares, and the money which remained in his hands, and then advertise to pay off the shares that were out, and dis solve the company, and never to have anything to do with a similar Association—(Laughter). A Shareholder, and Member of the Sock Exchange, stated that he had been induced to speculate very largely in this Company, at Mr. Whinfield's instance, who had solicited his assistance to get the Shares to a premium. He, unfortunately, entered into his views, anti advised many of his friends to put chase, and he had been sadly disgraced by the recommendatiob. He purchased 230 Shares, and would have continued pur chasing, had he not discovered that Mr. Whinfield was selling the Shares which he bad so strongly advised to purchase. He first smelt a rat when be purchased 30 shares horn a respectable broker, who was willing at the time to sell him 30 more at the same price. He was astonished at the proposition, and waited upon Mr. Whinfield to make some inquiry, and found, to his great astoDishment, a clerk in his office belonging to the broker horn whom he had purchased the 30 shares; however, he did not believe that they intended to " rig" him in that manner (a laugh)—so that he went back again . to the Stock Exchange and purchased 20 more from another broker, who told him that he might have any nuiffiber at the same price. (Laughter). He went to Mr. Whinfield's office again, when who should he meet there, but the very identical broker from whom he, had half an hour before purchased 20 shares. (Laughter.) The CMAIIIMAN said, that he would wait upon Mr. H. Whinfield, agreeably to the suggestion thrown out, and endeavour to have the affairs of the Company put in a shape that would prevent the share holders from sustaining any loss. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting ad journed.
