MEETING OF THE COMMITTER AND mai OR MEM' OF THE THE ►'CkE ROYAL DkUHY LANE. • • Fat:lt:lay week, a Meeting, consisting of most of th 4 Committee and Performers of Drury Lane Theatre, t , )ok place in the Saloon, pursuant to a eirculur notice. e:i a subject of very great interest, partieuhuly to the !utter. There were present the Duke of liedlerd, the Earl of Fees, Lord Yarmouth, Mr. Peter non:, &e. Mr. Peter Moore opened the business. He stated, ttat the elieuumstances of the Theatre were such as to render it itcpossible to go on as they had been going on, without a very material and immediate change in the receipts et the dors.; and as that could not be completed, it became necessary to make an application to those who had sularies at the Theatre, with the view of eentinuing the existence of the concern. He took this opportunity of bearing testimony to the talents of the performers, whose abilities ware universally ac knowledged, and of edmitting that they were fully en. titled to the salaries they were paid. At the same time it must be ecknowledgcel, that be and his colleagues had acted upon the me st disinterested principles; and the proposition he had tc make would, re doubt, be received as proceeding from a motive the most worthy. 'I he propreition was, !lett each perfbrmer who heel up wards of 41. a Ertel:, should allow a reduction to take place. The gradation should take place according to the extent cf the salary. In that of some ore-fhtirth, of others one-third, and in others, where the salary were very great, one-half. The actors looked amazed. Lord Yarmouth also eulogised the talents of the Company, and declared at once, that if the proposition was not acceded to, the Theatre must close. Mr. Dowton.—" Then !et it close. My voice is lee the voice of an individual open the establishment, bet I shall never relinquish one firthing of my salary. I am ashamed to see a set of Noblemen and Gentlemen attempting to oppress a few individuals. lam myself the proprietor of marry theatres in the country, by ?owe of which I lac WI. a week, and I should blush to call the performers together to give up a shilling fe. my benefit. Talk of Noblemen. I would not wise offe . nd people of null:, hot I dent think them snpt:- rior either in fCeling or judgment t.) other 7eoplc." A conversation tool place, in who ::1 it was said a Committee-man, that he knew bea of three persons who bud engngements. Mrs. Bartley observed, that the principal of refasing to recognise engagements might be acted upon by any new Committee, and attempts of course made to de prive the perfermers of their salaries at every new ap pointment. A Committeeman.—" Then if you dont wee to the conditions, time theatre must close. And you may go to law if ycu please. But what will you go to law w ith ?" Mr. Dowton—" We'll go to law with the property. There is property upon which we can come dwn." Committee-inan.—‘• If we allow a fortnight's salary to each of you, will yuu nccept of the proposition ?" Actors--" No no, no compromise ; wt. will have our 'Jr. Dowton (addressing himself to the Committee). —lf you are in want of money, give you a draft for 5001. on my banker, by which you will be enabled to go on a little time. The Committee then wished to know, whether they would consent to give the. concern credit for their salaries during the season ? Mr. Dowton I have no objection, provided you give m-• security. Committee-man.--Security ! Can you expect that w-! will give you personal security? Mr. Dowton.—Certainly ; if you do not, we can't give credit. ft was then intimated to the Committee, that the perforiners wished to he left to them s elves, in order to elme to a regular decision. The Cmainittee withdrew, Lid the rrovisition was negatived, there being about up for it, and thirty against it Ymmeiiiitte!y after the decision all the lower order: about the . 1 heatre rushed into the saloon, and seemed willing to promote/ the views of the Cotmuiitee by their votes, but. it nal too late.

Bad us thought the busintss was, he had no conception that it was quite a I had as it had been just represented.— lie thought it necessary to have a Committee of the ruprictort to try, in this dreadful extremity, to s;:ve the property from ruin. With respect to the Bill in Parliament, he had hoped that they would not be re duced to such a state us to be compelled to go to the House of Commons, and comply with terms to which none 4tit maniacs could agree. There was a clause in the Bill to make holders of 1001. skews liable to be called upon te pay additional sums•of money. In coc-.- won decency, this should have Lem mentioned at the last Meeting, and the Proprietors should have loco put in p ssession of the rural stoat:, of their property, before things had come to snth an extremity. Lord kinnaird complained of tho tardy coramuria tiona madc by the Suh-C4tamittee as to the affairs of the concern, as wen as of the sudden call upon the pro prietors to adopt an immediate measure. After a long discussion, in which the flab-Commit tee were generally blamed for keeping, so long from the Proi;rietors the sinking state of the I..staldishrnent, Mr. Robins's proposition for u Committee of Proprie tors to examine into the allidrz of the Theatre, %vies tweed to, and a number of Gentler v;cre app einted to form the Committee.
