MELI'ING OY' THE COMMITTLE AND PF.HFOKIHERSI OF TUE IHE t'UKE ROYAL 1)::UHY LANE. On Saturday a Meeting, eininisting• of most of the CAiniittee an Pet-an-mere of Drury Lu.e Theatre, tetit place in the Saloon, purse:lnt to a circular notice, on a subject of very great interest. particularly to the !after. There were present the Duke. of Fe itinel, the Peal of Essex, Lord Yarmouth, Mr. Peter Moore, &c. Mr. Peter Moore opened the business. Ile stated, that the circumstances of the Theatre were such as to reader it itnpossible to go on as they had le. en going on, :without a very mite:2-61 and iminediate clienee ir. the • re , :cipts at the doors; and as that could not be cotepleted, it became necessary to make an application to those who had large salaries at the Theatre, with the view cf continuing the existence of the concern. lie took this oppoitunity of bearing testimony to the talents of the peiflettners, whose atilities were universally ac ktiositietlytedi, anti of toltuitting that they re:re fully eu. title/1 to the eriatheothey were s peid. At the tame time it Mutt be acknowledged, that he and his colleagues had acted upon the most disinterested principles; and the proposition he had to make would, no doubt, be . r.vteirei as proceeding from a motive the most worthy. ".. - /te proposition wa.s, that each perfiinner who had up wards of 41. a week, should allow a reduction to take place. The gradation should take place according to the extent of the salary. In that of some one-fourth, clothers one-third, and in others, where the salary were very great, one-le.lf. The actors looked amazed. Lord Yarmouth apse eulogised the talents of the • Com i .eny, and declared at once, that if the proposition :i• not acceded to, the Theatre must close. Mr. Dowton.—" Then !et it close. My voice is 'out the voice of an individual upon the establishment, but I shall never relinquish one farthing of toy salary. T am ashamed to see a set of Noblemenund Gentlemen attemyting to oppress a few individuels. lam myself t.he proprietor cf many theatres in the country, by a true of which I lose 401. a week, and I should blush to call the peitformers together to give up a shilling fir my benefit. Talk of Noblemen. I would not wish to offend people of rank, but I dont think them supe rior eitle.2r in feeling or judgment to other people.' A converiatien took piece, in which it was said by a Committee-man, that he knew but of three retains who had engagements. Mrs. Bartley observed, that the principal of refusing to recoguiv engagements might be acted upon by any ew ( uutmittee, and attempts ocoerce made to de prive Cie performers of their gaieties at every new ap pointment. A Committeeman.—" Then if you dont agree to the conditions, the theatre must dote. And you may go to law if you please. But what will you go to law tuuriavd. Mr. Dowton—" We'll go to law with the property. lhere is property noon which wa can come clown." Clanuittee-roan.--•' If we allow a firtnig7lt's salary t, each of you, will you accept of the proposition r . Actors—" No no, no courpromire ; we wid Lave our Dowten (addressing himself to the Committee`.. If you are in want cf money, I'll give yrtu a draft Fer 5001. on my banker, by which you will be etraLlt.d to Fro.on a little time. The 'Cioniittee then wished tc know, whether they ~4,1; 1 1.! consent to give the - concern credit for their ie3 daring the seasen ? Mr. Dowttm I have no objection, provided you give ire security. Committee-roan. --Security ! Can you exp.ct that we will give you personal security ?
