THE THEATRES. DIR. KEAN AND THE MieNAGERII or COVENT GARDEN. The practice of appealing to the public— through the Press—in every case of disagreement between Manager and Actor, is of modern origin ; and we hold it so much " more honoured in the breach than the observance," that we trust it may 110071 grow into desuetude. Wally ac tualeause of complaint maim— if engagements be broken —stipulations wantonly violated —or penalties incurred,on • either side, the porcine, as In all other eases of civil agree ment, have a mode of redress open to them, by far more appropriate in its mean, and more eertein in its attain ment, than the publication of letters avowedly written for that purpose, and Is the hope of exciting prejudices by ex parte statements, is which only that portion of the affair most favourableto the views and interests of the writer and publisher, are exposed to the world. But to seek the protection of the law, and at the seem time to publish such a one-sided cerreependence, wus consider a very unwise and a Ivry impolitic endeavour to wield a two edged sword, which not mafeequestly wenn& the unskilful wielder mach more severely than the object of his wrath.—When Jon w sou condescended to propitiate the favour of the public, by paying tribute to their supre macy, and acknowledging that " The Drama's laws, the Drones patrons give, And we who live to please, must please to live"— he referred solely to their legitimate influence within the walls of a Theatre, and not to any unconditional or sup posed supremacy out of it. The duty which the ma nager owes to the public, is to engage the services of performers of acknowledged talents in the various depart ments of the Drama; and the duty of the performer is to exert those talents to the utmost of his skill and judg ment:—beyond these points no responsibility exists as respects manager or performer : no legitimate in fluence can be exercised by the public, who have no more right to interfere in the details of theatrical arrangements, than in the official routine of the Ad ministration of the State :—nay, not so much right, because in the one case, they contribute voluntarily, and out of the superfluity of their means, to the support of the stage;—in the other they are compelled to contri bute, without any regard to superfluous or even necessary resources, to the maintenance of the whole establishment. But such appeals as have, of late years, been so frequently obtruded on the town, are excessively injudicious and unjustifiable, if they be not also indecorous. The certain and positive injury which they inflict, can never be com pensated by all the probable, but precarious, good that may arise from them :—they should be the last resort even of the deeply injured ; but when they emanate from a party possessing other means of redress, or when the grievance of which they complain is not substantiated, the re-action to which they infallibly give rise may be • dangerous in the extreme. In this spirit, we sincerely regret that the Managers of Covent Garden should have adopted the double course of proceeding with respect to Mr. KEAN. We regret that Mr. Baler'. er should have considered his official correspondence calculated to interest the pub lic ; or to excite, what we shall endeavour to prove, a very unjust prejudice against Mr. KEAN : and we regret that Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE should " have concurred" with Mr. BARTLE!, " in the necessity of publishing his communications at the earliest possible period"—or in deed at any period. Before we proceed farther, we de sire it may be distinctly understood, that in protesting against the twofold expedient which, in this instance, has been resorted to, we are uninfluenced by any consider ation but an honest, and we trust an honorable, desire to oppose every thing that looks like oppression, and to do justice impartially to all. Highly as we esti mate the talents of Mr. KEAN—warm and un affected as we own our admiration of his unrivalled powers to be, if we imagined for one moment that his conduct in this transaction had been dishonour able, pr even disingenuous, nothing should induce us to advocate his claim to the protection and sympathy of the public. For Mr. BARTLEY, personally, we entertain all the respect that his gentlemanly demeanour and worth in private life demand. Of Mr. CIIARLES KEMBLE, our opinion cannot be so briefly, or so easily, expressed. Remembering as we do the honourable promptitude with which, even at the risk of being made personally re sponsible,and personally the sufferer, for all the untoward consequences of an unsuccessful system of management to which he was but a party—he came forward, and encountered the difficulties of a situation from which others,who were equally liable, shrunk;—remembering the high principle with which, on that occasion, he vindicated his own pretensions to the character of a man of the strict est integrity ;—remembering too the liberal and generous spirit in which his manly confidence was met, and the enthusiasm with which his efforts to retrieve the ruinous state of the Theatre were supported by the public : how shall we express the anxiety we feel, lest in his excessive solicitude for the exclusive prosperity of that Theatre, he may destroy the credit which he then so nobly acquired— by measures which, whatever their real source may be, the world will be but too apt to ascribe to the unworthy and degrading influence of professional jealousy, illibe rality, and selfishness ? Tenacious, however, as our memory may be; these cir cumstances,we are assured, must be more deeply impressed upon a mind susceptible of such warm and grateful im pulses as Mr. C. Kemble has manifested ; but it does seem as if, " in the multiplicity of business incidental to the managerial functions," Mr. Kemble had suffered the actual condition of affairs, at the commencement of the prevent season, to escape his recollection. He can- not, however, have forgotten, that in order to open the Theatre with any prospect of surmounting its financial difficulties, every engagement was broken through, as • matter of necessity, and sacrifices were required at the bands of most of the performers, of some portion of their stipulated salaries. Now, although these sacrifices were cheerfully submitted to, yet without them, and, consequently without a virtual defeasance of all such con ' tracts by the managers themselves—the theatre could not have been opened with even a chance of success—and, :Pith them, that chance depended, in the first instance, upon the result of that experiment which has been so eminently—so triumphantly successful—in the acqui sition of such an actress as Miss Kers lux bas proved : arid, secondly, upon the grattatons exertions of some of the most popular and aftrective performers of the day— amongst whom Mr. 'CRAW displayed a generous anxiety for the resloretion of the establishment, which we must say has been somewhat unhandsomely requited. Our es timate of Miss Kix ar.e's talents is before the world; and we refer to it at this moment with peculiar satisfaction, as illustrating the principle and feeling by which these remarks have been dictated, and in which they are ersitten. Her most anxious friends, her most sanguine adnakers, could not have hailed her success with more sincere gratulation% than we did :—but we must not Baer the chance of another result having attended that experiment whilst it was yet untried, to be lost sight of, when we are considering the circumstances under which Covent-girden Theatre was opened. Miss }Ent er.c might have failed,—or she might have sue- eded so far as that her talents would have secured her a high place in public favour, and her success would have realised even parental anticipation, if on the very threshold of the Tragic fane—on the very outset of her career, she had attracted audiences for twelve nights ; and she might then have been suffered to repose from the severity of her exertions for a week or two, without any prejudice to her fame ; but it is not because her early course has been so brilliant, that those who g►enerousl• proffered their aid whilst her success was vet problem'. field should be slighted, or held up to reprobation be the publication of a garbled correspondence, merely because they eennot sacrifice their own foolings and their own in terests to their desire of fulfilling a promise given with the moat laudable intention. It was well known to every individual connected with the Management of that Theatre that Mr. KEAN would not enter into an!/ engagement in London, in which he was not allowed to stipulate for performing on the three nights on which he had been accustomed to appear from the commencement of his metropolitan career. Was it then to be imagined that, when he spontaneously came forward and tendered the aid of his great, his unquestioned, talents in support of a Theatre which, when he made that offer, was in a state of absolute insolvency, he should forego a privilege, when even in his lucrative engagements he insisted upon 'Was it to be supposed that Mr.Ke.tx would, under such circumstances, risk the mortification of seeing his pecu liar and most popular performances less numerously at tended because the most unfavourable nights were forced upon him, by the very managers whose interests he was labouring to promote in so disinterested, and liberal a manner ;—whilst the alternate evenings, which Fashion " marks out for her own," were assigned to the Tragedy which a new Juliet has rendered attractive,—supported as that Tragedy now is by the after-piece performance of Mr. T. P. COOKE? When Mr. KEMBLE found the safety of his own pro perty, and the interests of his Theatre so far re-esta blished as to embolden him to hold Mr. KEAN at arms' length, and to dictate terms of treaty for the fulfilment even of a voluntary and gratuitous act ; fellow-feeling should have triumphed over every other consideration, and remembering the dilemma from which he had been so providentially extricated, he should have pursued the course which was then open to him, and which, for his own credit's sake, we regret he did not instantly adopt, instead of " concurring in the necessity of publishing the communications" of his Stage Manager. Had Mr. KEMBLE, instead of praying for an impolitic injunction, concurred in the transfer of Mr. KEAN s gratuitous ser vices to Drury-lane—we cannot help thinking that he would this day have felt more exalted in self-esteem—as he would assuredly have been in public opinion. But having refused to avail himself of that aid; it betrays a littleness of which we did not suspect him, to see a gentle man of his integrity, and his professed liberality of senti ment, thus bumbling himself by an unworthy attempt to deprive others of that assistance of which ho no longer stood in need. In the letters which Mr. KEMBLE has "concurred in the necessity of publishing," Mr. BARTLEY, by Mr. KEMPLE'S desire, " reminds" Mr. KEAN, " of an engagement subsisting between him and Covent Garden, by which he is precluded from act ing in London during the present season." Now it really is too much to assert that any man in his senses mild have entered into a contract which was to place him so entirely at the mercy of a manager—for it might not suit the wishes or the caprice of Mr. KaM BILE,' in the pleni tude of his renewed prosperity, to make any arrangement at all for Mr. IC EAN's engagement at Govent Garden during the present season ; and, in that me, he must be deprived, at the manager's high will and pleasure, of deriving any emolument in the capital from the exerelae of his transcendent abilities. But Mr. BA RT LEY betrays somewhat more than he intended, in a few subsequent sentences of the same letter ; for so far from an engage ment—a bona fide engagement—being in existence, he says," He (Mr. Kcal ALE) is ready to encounter such diffi culty on your account, and with this feeling he was prepared tomake you an offer of an engagement for this season , had you been able to meet him." And this is the gist of what Mr. C. KEMBLE terms " the most correct explanation" of Mr KEAN'S conduct. With respect to the injunction, we should have thought the managers of Covent-Garden had had sufficient experience in the Court of Chancery, not to resort to it again, in such haste, or on such trivial grounds. The Morning Journal says, "we were informed that the greatest part of the money which had been paid for boxes to be occupied in the event of Mr. KEAN'S appearance had been refunded, and that the sums returned amounted to several hundred pounds." —Oh, " the dog in the manger—the dog in the manger!"—The INJUNCTION WAS THIS DAY DIS SOLVED—and to-morrow night, we hope to see— " Richard himself again."

GRAND MASQUERADE. — CHARLES WRIGHT, that Prince Of Masqueraders, last night gage his Mensuration Fete for the season at the Argyll Room.. This description of entertainment presents nothing new in its constructi.m to invite the man of fashion, but that of last night boasted aU the attractions which are held forth on web occasions to allure the laughter-loving mortal from his domicile. Thidescriptiun of characters who congregated upon the occasion consisted of a motley crew of Parsons, Undertakers, Soldiers, Sailors, Dukes, Devils, Beggars, Ballad-singers, Dust men, Coachmen, Cads, and heroes of all sorts and sizes, from Ham let the Dane to Tom Thumb, of famous memory. The amuse ments provided by Mr. Winans. were of the choicest description, and almost as inexhaustible as his sparkling Champagne, of which, by the bye, there was no task drank at supper. The substantial anangetaents et the later reflect the highest credit on the Gentle man to whose sa*ihe etceteras were left. The public did ample justice to the feast provided Mr. W sun: is the only person in London who can conduct these entertainments with Wag. That of last night Will add considerably to his reputation. The Siamese youths, when at the theatre in America, saw, among the spectators, a man with only onii eye, on which they are said to have wittily remarked, that he ought only to pay half-price for what he saw. 1824. 1225. 1826. 1927. ,--..... ---...-. 218,033 316,969 234,68 174,607 218,965 346,885 247,201 124,177 166,763 260,70 169,01 126 659 117 639 214,23 112,274 109,07.4 109,057 171, 130,21 196,933 69,978 131, 78,11 92,065 79,3311 106,011 72,7791 63,720 70,783 1 145 89,1171 31005 59,099' 1111,822 74,7941 57,639 54 29 98,660 40.3.. 119,666 27 948 54,920 30,41171 13,862 21,401 46,431 30,233 , 45,765 8,271 10,811 10,907 1 9.463 1 ....___ 3,618 28,888 36,882 -64,801 3,041 10,260 14,716 11,845 ---- - 1,246,4 ,025,0531,589,118 1 ,383,641 339,9 627,897 451,973' 464,076 HOSPITAL. ST. ANDREW'S DAY AND THE SCOTTISH Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, the Chartered Incorporation of the Scottish Hospital held their Annual Festival at the London Tavern in Bishopsgate-street. Before alluding to the details of the Festival, we consider it essential to the prosperity of this National Institution, as well as more effectually to advocate the views of its liberal supporters, to lay before the public the following brief statement its nature, objects, and proceedings. The Scottish Hospital derives its origin from a-Society formed a short time after the accesion of King James, for re:iering the less fortunate individuals of the Scottish trit:on who had upon that event ceme to England. A charter of incorporation, under its present designation, was granted by King Charles 11. in the year 1665, em powering the Society to hold lands, and to erect an hos pital for the reception of the objects of the charity; and a:i opportunity soon afterwards occurred of manifesting the benefits to he derived front it. It appear++ from the records of the Coqxwatien, that, during the great plague, upwa:ds of three hundred natives of Scotland were buried at the sole cletrge of the Society, and numbers mare were nourished Boring their sickness, without sub jecting. the parishes where they teaided to the smallest expense. But exprienco soon evinced, that confine rent to a charity workhouse was altogether uncongenial to the fee:ings of the Scottish poor. Tile idea of an hos:+ital, or receptacle for the ob . :,ects of the Charity, was in con sequence relinquished, and the plan of as.-istiug and re lieving. them at their own habitations substituted. This assist nice wits confined to each only of the natives of Scotland, resident in London, as bad become members, and paid quarterly contributions to the Society, by virtue of which they were entitleJ to relief when in want. Though the claims were thus restricted, the amount of relief afforded must have been considerable, for the whole receipts appear to have been, fur a very long period, annually distributed. At tlie end of a century, after the first incorporation. the funds were little more than at the commencement, the annual receipts less, and the Society was dwindling away. At that period, the management was fortunately un dertaken by a few public-spirited active individuals, who saw the necessity of a change in its constitution, in or der to give efficacy to the establishment, and to enable it to extend relief to many objects not entitled to claim the charity—according to the mode which had been adopted. This was the more necessary, as the number of natives of Scotland who resorted to London had greatly increased, and many of them, being disappointed in their views of obtaining employment and subsistence, and having acquired no parochial settlement, were utterly destitute. To enable the Hospital to extend its relief to those objects, it became necessary to make an application for a new Charter, which was granted by his late Ma jesty, in 177.5, whereby the Scottish Hospital of the foundation of Charles 11. was re-incorporated, and di rected to be governed in all time coming, by a President, Six Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, and an unlimited number of Governors. A donation of ten guineas and upwards, constituting a Governor for life ; and a sub scription of one guinea or more, but less than ten, an an nual Governor, so long as such payments shall continue to be made. 4 ,056 The admission of contributing members was disconti nued, and the Corporation thus became completely a charitable institution for the relief of poor natives of Scotland, who might be reduced to poverty and want. By the zeal and exertions of a number of gentlemen, subscriptions and donations to a considerable amount were obtained ; and, in order to provide a permanent fund, a regulation was made, that one-half of all dona tions of ten guineas and under twenty pounds, and the whole of all donations of twenty pounds and upwards, should be funded, and the annual income alone applied to the purposes of the society. Besides the casual applicants to the Hospital for relief and passages, a sum of 7001. is set apart for the support of 70 aged and infirm persons exceeding 70 years of age, to whom a pension of 10/. per annum is allowed. The vacancies which occur on tills list, by the deaths of pensioners, are filled up by ballot, once -a year, upon which occasion Governors and Patronesses have the pri vilege of voting by proxy.—Life Governors or Pa tronesses having one vote for every ten Guineas of donation which they may have subscribed, and Annual Governors one for every Guinea which they subscribe annually. Among the Contributors to the Funds, and enrolled in the list of Governors, the Society has been I honoured with the names of His present Majesty, and his , illustrious Brothers ; his Royal Highness the Duke of ' Clarence and St. Andrew's having been President of the Corporation for eighteen years. The patronage which it has received, has not been confined to ►he Scottish nation, but the nobility, gentry, and all clasees of this the Sister Kingdom, hare in a most liberal and zealous manner espoused its cause; in which noble work of Cha rity, the female nobility and gentry have taken a con spicuous share. Under such administration, and such patronage, the Society has been progressively increasing in its respectability, its consequence, the extended exer cise of its benevolence, and the liberal diffusion of its bounty. The change of circumstances, however, which has taken place in this country since the peace, has operated in a double ratio upon this Charity ; its annual income from Subscriptions having materially decreased, while the number of applications for relief has vcry greatly augmented. • The Charity of the Scottish Hospital is r.pplicabk to the poor mechanic, the artisan, and labourer, natives of Scotland, with their wives, widows, and children resident in this metropolis and its immediate neighbourhood ; who, not having acquired any parochial settlement in this countr•, would, in age and poverty, in sickness and dis tress, or whey in want of employment, be exposed to the utmost wretchedness or beggary, but for the fostering care of this Institution.—The number of these poor objects, dependan't on public bounty, is much greater than is ge nerally imagined ; during the last twelve months the num ber of poor relieved has been ns follows including those on the pension -list, who are paid monthly :- 1828 December. 251 1829 June 253 1829 January 233 Ju1y..............252 February 240 August 261 Mach .......257 September 244 April ...261 October 261 May 260 November -238 Besides passages to Scotland to 314 person., men, women, and children. The natives of Scotland have long been remarkable for their emigrating disposition. They are to be found in every quarter of the globe where civilized establishments have been made. Wealth and opulence, fame and for tune, cannot be the lot of all ; and many, after enduring haidships and privations of z:l kinds in other countries, return home in poverty and distress. London is the great channel through which they take their way, and they frequently arrive here utterly destitute. To such, the funds of the Hospital have been always accessible, its charity being open to every poor Scotchman who cat, obtain a recommendation. From a view of the numbe rs relieved, it is evident, that while the Scottish Hospital a real blessing to the aged, the diseased, and the unem ploved poor of Scotland, resident in Loneen, Westmin ster, and the neighbourhood, and affords such ready as sistance to the distressed wanderer, and the disa p pointed son of industry, it is of incalculable benefit to t he com ntunitv at large, who are by means of this Charity pre vented the ttgonizinT, sight of beholding so great an ad dition, as otherwise there would be, to the number of our destitute fellow-creatures seeking their wretched pittance ou the streets, liable to be taken up as vagrants, sent to the House of Correction, and probably subjected to the t!iseTace of corporal punishment. On all these accounts the more the Society is made known, the more extensive will be the patronage with which it will be honoured by a discriminating and liberal public ; for such charitable aid and friendly recommendation will be still employed to advance its merited prosperity and growing usefulness. Such are the objects which the generous &hinds of the Institution assembled to support and celebrate yesterday. The Duke of CLARENCE was prevented from attending on account of other important engagements ; and his Royal Highness laid his commands on Colonel M C DO ELI., of Glengarry, K.C.11.t0 represent hint on the interesting occasion. After the usual demonstrations of respect and regard to his Majesty and his Royal Brother were manifested with all the warmth and enthusi lam to which these high personages are entitled, the busi ness of the Meeting was blended with its con vivialities ; and we were happy to find in the course of the evening that, including a donation from his Ma jesty of 105/.—from the Duke of Clarence 20/.—from the Duchess of Clartati-;i I' I.—frent th. Duke of Nlon tri-so .I.2l.—and Com the Gallant Colonel, who presided, 14)!. IN.—the subseri:.tions annatinced in the c,:rxe of die evening., amounted to little sho; tof .503!. Itinni ficent as these contributions are, tlwy are, lioTever, far shot of the claims which the Institution p5:v.:,411 on the public. We could gather from the speeches delivered last night, that while the expont!itartt el :it., Hospital amounted la. , t year to 1,700/. the donathot-, etc. fell short of 1,300/. and thus, the credit and sinkin::- fund of the Charity must have been deeply trenelteil It is to he hoped that the Scottish Gentry wi:l b. cote alive to this fon, and lead so cewhat more of thei countenance and support than they did vestertlay, to a cause of which they ought to he proud, and whit l is more esa-cially their men.
