No less than four were announced. One of them, a dashing jobber, who has not been in the house above three years, was declared a defaulter to the amount of ;20;0001. ; the other three are likewise jobbers, but their deficiencies arc nut equal to the former.

It is stated as a fact, that the Commissioners for levy ing the Property-Tax within the city of London, are at this time busily emplored in prosecuting surcharges an long back as 1814. They reject bona fide and cir cumstantial statements of income for that year, which Mr. Vanaittart is understood to have pledged himself was to regulate the return for 1815, and insist upon particu lars of the three preceding ones, for the purpose of striking . an average.

The two ends of the orchestra will be appro priated for visitors at the box prices. In order to effect the above inyrovement fur the public who frequent the pit, some of the private boxes have been necessarily de stroyed, but two others have been made in lieu of them in the first circle. In the dress circle of boxes one en tire row cf seats has been removed. This not only will give greater room and convenience, but has mused a greater elevation, as in the pit, to be given to the seats [behind.
