To TIE EDITOR or THE STATESMAN. Ste—Your inserting the following statement of facts in your impartial paper, will be esteemed a favour, as an erroneous account appeared in The Morning Post of this day. On Friday night I was returning borne with a friend, and stopping at the corner of Charles street, Soho, to wish him good night, two or three persons called out 0. P.", we immediately answered, "good night 0. P.'s"—at that moment a tall man crossed us from Charles.street, towards Itathbone.plaee, and said the " 0. P.'s mere all vagrants," on. which one of those who had passed immediately - before him, called out " there goes long Gibbons, of Mary.le-bone Park." I step. pcd a few paces forward in order to have a view of his person, on which he held up his umbrella in a threatening posture, and told me to go away, or he would knock me down ; I laughed, and walked quietly away towards my home, bad got nearly to the end of Crown.street, Suho, when two watch. I men belonging to Mary-le-bone Parish and this tall man, selr:d me, and took ae from thence, which was in St. Ann's Parish, to Mary.lc.bone Watch.house, when this penal proved to be the' well.known James Gibbons, of Mary.le.bune Park, and charged me with an assault and strik ins him, on which I was immediately dragged down stairs into the black bulle t although I re. quested Howard, the constable of the night, to permit some person to go to some friends of mine, of the greatest respectability, who resided within a few yards of the %Vetch-house ; I was kept in this place fur about three hours, during which time two persons who VIW me taken, applied to see me, in order that they might go to my friends ; this was refused, and they were told 1 was below and should be kept there, as they beliered me to be one of the 0. P. gentlemen, or Cu: ent Garden rioters—at four o'clock I was permitted to come op stairs, and at eleven o'clock on SaErJay, I was takes before Mr. BRODIE, at Marlborough. street Office ; at twelvo o'slock, James Gibbons made his appearance, and swore that I called ont " there goes long Gibbons, of Mary.le.bone " Park," and some other words too gross to men. tion ; als.i, that I pushed my •.tick against his beet. The two watchmen stated, they heard no quarrel nor any words pass between us ; • a thts evidence i was ordered to find bail to appear at the Westminster Sessions, which I immediately did, and two friends ih '2(11. each. To 11Se coarse of the cridenre GibuJns as3erted, he was 46 •ilified by several New spepe•rs, because he was what they termed a friend to the Managers." As to the assertion that the . " O.lice wu filled with a legion of 0. P.'s," it is a gross falsehood ; it is true there were several respectable friends of mine ready to give bail to any amount that might be re. quired; many of whom hare not bun yet to the New Theatre, and none of them more than once; the truth of this statement will be verified on oath, and supported by evidence on the trial. I am Sir, your constant header, Denmark- street, Nor. O. SAM. UIHLR. To the EDITOR of THE STATESMAN. - Sr a--Not doubting your impartiality on a sub. ject so pregnant with fatal events to Britons, I venture to trouble you with some i'eas, relative to the riots at the Theatre, which struck me in the course of Wednesday evening, and which I certainly should have communicated to the sue. mice, could I have found a favourable oppor. tunity. Eitherthe conduct of the Proprietors of Co. vent Garden Theatre is legal, or it is illegal. If it be illegal, their perseverance in error must render them still more criminal, by every ring, and every accident, which has occurred slate the ant night of opening the Hogue, when the ene. mies of new prices, and Private Boxes, most on. doubtedly expressed their opposition, in terms not to be misunderstood If, on the contrary, their conduct be legal, shameful has been that of the opposers, and a dreadful responsibility must rest somewhere. With respect to the objections to the prices, I beg leave to a•k, Sir,. was the late Drury Lase Theatre opened at old prices? And were there then riots in consequence of the new ? No, S;r. Bad as our situation then was, there didnnot exist the same preasing Urgency to tumultuous disap. probation ; nor the same necessity to give it a happy torn, where it might vent its rage, and become ex h austed, ere it could reach the real objects of displeasure, because the real authors of the trouble occasioning it. Then the Public re. tained sufficient prudence to reflect that :hem. selves, at least the greater part of them, were shrimpers, and would not only have been highly incensed, but have deemed themselvei ille. gaily used, had persons entered their shops; and, after telling them that they could have purchased similar articles some 20 years :efore, at 10 or per cent. less than was then demanded, insisting on such goods being sold at the old prices. And if such conduct would have been deemed illegal then, it cannot be legal now ; no Act of Parlia. meut having since past to r.nder it so. As to the objections made to the Prigate Boxes, a few questions will, I prebumc, Sir, tend to ob viate them. Were there nu Private Buses in the ~‘ , 0 % lite Theatre, or in that of Drury-lane? Certainly there were. But were thee' forty Infameus prac tic.* el* discolored in these Private Boxes ? believe not, Sir. Why, diva, are we soddenly %come so very fastidious ? I do not - like ft.:44.. I am mot satisfied with acting so Lillie' pimple so 'terribly alive to the appreleresion of transactions terhicli moral men ought to blush sad sle.dder at ale very mistime eel it would ale' at authorise a btranier to fancy that we were really worse that we are. Every body elest recollect the trite adage about the old measles loiang into the ones. And as to a whole tier being monopolised—while peo ple sit in these bow, the) cannot occupy, any other placate Nor, in point of convenience to She Public, can I see mit great diference whe. thee people take Public ibozes 0;014 or chose to retain one for the season. Where is the man, is buc:less, who, if he knows where the best a dd:A in his line are to be procures!, will not, if possible, contract for the whole quantity which he can consume ? And shall British' Tradesmen, Ito famed for their probity, and the strict integrity of their transactions, throughout the universe, adopt a system so diametrically of posite, by holding a right to do that An their oleo tetenisev, which they will not suffer the Prepriaton of Theatei !loyal to do . ? 0 shame! 'Never may such conduct be Whlspered on toe World ! I know, Sir, it has been public!) avowed that the theatrical tumults have, been oceasioned prin cipally by young clerks and 'prentice boy', who enter the Theatre at half price. To such juvenile gentry it may appear to be very line fen. But when I see persons, whom I hate fur many years deemed respectable characters, plunge Into the Beau, gorgeous(' arrayed in purple breast plates, superbly embossed with tinselled 0. P's, and feel them, suns cerentonie, rush to the flout seat (already occupied), that their hisses, their offs, and their affected coughs, may be more dis tinctly observed by their admirers, to the extreme annoyance of the whole row, 1 hardly know whether to laugh at men for so ridiculously capes. leg themselves, or be angry with them fur incom moding me, merely that they may show their 'isegnificent, and highly dignified insignia, to greater advantage—as much as to say, 6 6 See what a mighty big fellow I our ! Thus will some ,men vainly expose themselves, to obtain a fleeting hour of popularity. Did thy matter rest here, Sir, there might be some attempt made to apologise fur the proneness to vanity of the old, and the proneness to mis. chief of the young. But these are v..ry ink ward times, Sir. We have got a strange, motley . Ad. ministration, and have but too much reason to anticipate strenge and motley measures ! N , ,w, it So happens, men the most utak for high, official stations, would least suffer their actions to be pub. hely canvassed ; and a hiss, or a taunt, in a pub lic Thum., would cut them to the soul. To snob men, Sir, may not our nightly riots be deemed the happy precursors of halcyon dugs, j they not yield an excellent pretext for smog ! Ong Bills into a certain Assembly, fur Use pur pose of placing our Theatres on the same footing with those on the Continent ? Are not some of the ex °Ai° train on duty ao the Theatre every night, to stimulate the riots ; and may not some of those conspicuous pedagigues, with their eru dite breasespieew 0( p. ,xpectation of a place or a pension, for the infinite services they so honourably reeder thorn ? I glory in a brave, intrepid soldier in the Held ; I must coulees, even were the conduct of the Proprietors actually and illegally imposing, if I were simple enough to give them my money, I would rather sit quietly, and decorously, like an English Gentleman, than, by tumult r afford a pretence for Ministen'to cum. pal me to bit like a slave, ~ i th a grenadier et 'lie door of every Box, and a bad unmet .t' my elbow, if I happened to cast a smile of tit gists,' at any of the bungling colder: of uer motley Junta. These, Sir, are serious relle‘lions t and ought to inset the consideration of those gent/enters riot. era, who may be fathers of families ; aui. who would not fail to whip themselves, moat acire!e, whenever they reflected that their tine its enable conduct had entailed slavery on their offspring.
