FOR THE Sidte.smds. MR. EDITOR—The statement given to the Pub_ tby the Select Committee of Covent-garden heatre, has failed in its intended effect, to the surprise and regret of none but Managers, Ac. ion, Authors, and an host of Builders, Barbers, Tailors, &c. &c. connected with, sad dependant on the concern, many of whom strenuously exert themselves to bring (I was on the point of saying) to Juslice—but, however, to Bow-street, and subseqteently to confinement, amidst rogues and vagabonds, those vile offenders who have audaci. ously dared to exercise a privilege in a public Theatre sanctioned by the usages of almost all ages and countries, exempting those where despo tism holds its sway. The Atina:.ter has, it must be confessed, used the must conciliatory modes to effect his purpose: he has, with all due humiliation of spirit, vouch. safed to appear before tho Public, in whose ser vice he has been toiling with, I dare say, what he • conceit es het a pitiful and inadequate reward, fur m3ny year.—he appeub, I say, and graciously *As them " what they want ?" The answer to this eelekated qui...nits/1 meat, I think, hare been misunderstood ; for, however fond John Bull may be of lighting in a proper cause, he never would, I think, have said he wished to pit himself against hired ruffians and pugilists, it to convert the for fuer seat of criticism into an arena for shedding the ancient Roman diver. blood, and introducing Sion Of killin; end slaying there ; though I may be wrong, upon taking into conbideration the amusement our elevated and lofty Patricians de rive from it, and the known attachment of John to the latter class, who from their proud entineneo leek down with gratificaflou upon the fray be math them. With regard to the statement of ler eine/ horn. ff ees, what would the Public have ? It can hard ly be denied that the names of the Committee were mentioned in a crowded Theatre, and that loud sod unanimous applause followed the mention of each honourable name. Mr. kissable has submit ted to them the accounts of the six years of his omn management—of course, from his talent and ability, the period the most profitable to the Pro. prictors. They have not put as to the trot.ble of perusing a long list of items, but hare given as a clear, concise, and most satisfactory statement (errors excepted). It might be asked—not that I think the Public !lays any thing to do with that ) what was the ori. gins! perchase.moncy of the share for which Mr. Keinble gave twenty-five thousend pounds? Bat that would be little to the purpose, for if twenty five thousand pounds were paid for it, no matter to whom, of course Mr. K. has au undoubted "Win and tight to enforce the payment of those prices of admission which will ensure him a hand. some profit, althongh it is possible he may have paid double the original value. Actors inay be engaged at this Theatre at enovmous salaries, when there are others already belonging to the Company equally capable in the line fur which they are en-. gaged—for instance Mr. Young, who is ee deci dedly in the line of Kenable, that we have, or shall have, on that account, to regret seeing him lets frequently than we wish; but this is certainly done with a view of having a strong Company, and from Mr. K.'s liberality in engaging a rival rather that, he should have a test salary at another house, and not to preveut the Public from being gratified by a more frequent exhibition of his ta lents. Other instances of unnecessary eapence might be pointer! out ; but you will, I dare say, think this letter already too long. THEATRICUS. October ?O, 11109. To the EDIIVR of 7'HE STATESMAN. Si rt—To the acesnrcy of the facts in the follow. ing statemeot I unequivocally pledge myself. The title of the cause was, no King v. J. Barrow, and the indictment for an assault un the Overseer, Constable, and Tax-gatherer, of Standish ; but judge the surprize of the multitude, when the sturdy Tax.gatherer y so vie/sully assaulted in the execution of his duty 4 was confronted with the Prisoner at the bar, a feeble man, of the person. si.os of a Quaker, of threescore years and ten! ! ! The Counsel fur the prosecution opened the busi ness with a violent and illiberal phillipic against the peaceful religion of " The Friends," as a system of conveniency for the purpose of avoid ing the payment of taxes, and of lighting the bat. tics of their country ! - 'Truly a very captivating reasoning to an epis copal jury, groaning under the weight of rates and taxa, and whose brothers or MU might, with their blood or carcases, be at that very moment fertilizing the vineyards of Spain, or the pestsfu. sous swamps of Walchercn ! ! !3 Ho concluded by stating what was afterwards repeated by the Prosecutor, and confidently calling upon the Jury for a verdict. The Prosecutor, the only witness clammed, stated, that he had waited upon the Prisoner, fur thu payment of 31. taxes ; that the Prisoner took him by thu collar, saying, " I owe thee nothing, and I'll pay thee nothing ; get out of asy Louse;" that he forced him out of his door; that he obtained a summons for the assault, and returning, met with the same treatment, which induced him to institute this pro. secutiun. (He had nut produced the warrant to Barrow.) On his cross-examination (though he had known the Prisoner so long, and was near him at the time), he could not say whether Barrow was five or fifty.-.he might be seventy. Barrow never struck him. Had been told by Justice Msrtslaud, before whom be had taken the Prisoner, he had no claim for taxes upon him. Had since the as. saultdistrained the contents of his cottage for the taxes—lie bad aever been chargeable—Barrow has property, but admitted it never yielded more than nine pounds per annum--Had never sliewn Bar row the warrant—knew nothing about it now— could nut produce it. The Counsel for this unfortunate old man, in a must ingenious tuanner, endeavoured to remove from the minds of the Jury the impressions which the opening speech for the prosecution _was calcu latill to make, and insisted, that as the Proseco tot hail sworn positively he had slot shut is the warrant to Barrow, and could writ show it now, the presumption was, he had not one, and that, therefore, admitting what the Prosecutor had sworn with regard to the assault, Barrow had only exercised his right, as an Englishman, to order any person out of his house whose company be dill not choose; and by all reasonable force, without itijury, to compel him, if tie refused ; be also looked with confidence to the Jury fur a verdict in favour of his client. The Chairman addressed the Jury at some length. The purport of his sptesh was, that if people who refused paying their taxes, were to escape with impunity, half would refuse, and the other half would have to pay the whole ! The Jury consulted about a quarter of an hour, and then brought in a verdict of Guilty, but recom mended the Prisoner to the mercy of the Court. Against this recommendation the Counsel for the prosecution rose, and spoke at some length, when he was interrupted by his Learned Brother on the other side, who urged the impropriety of such an address. An altercation envied, which was put a stop to by the. Chairman asking the Foreman of the Jury the reason of their recom. nsendation. The Foreman seemed at a loss, when one of the Jury ruse and said, " Our reason was, Sir, because by the Prosecutor's evidence, it appears nu blow was struck, nor was be put in bodily fear."..." nut, Sir (replied the Chairman),' taking him by the coat was an assault." " Well Sir," (answered the Juryman) " we have found', " him guilty of the assault, but in consideration it of the circumstances I have mentioned* we re " commend him to , the mercy of the Court." The Chairman * after fa whisper with another Ma.l gistrate present, addressed the Prisoner on the enorneity of his offence, and sentenced him to 1 , three months imprisonment in the [louse of Cor rection !! ! But where the old man was sent, as there is no house of correction in ‘Viga.n, I kuow not. Ile attempted to speak, but his want of teeth prevented articulation, and he was neither heard nor attended to. Lord Darlington's estates, in the neighbourhood of mobwoit Hill, devised to him by the late Countess of Bath, were, on Teesday, brought to the hammer. About 134 acres of land ) with some houses, sold as high as 30,3001.

(a et !mew we celled it), presented by a number of inhibitant householders resident iu the vicinity of Covent. Garden to the Lord Chamber. lain, on the subject of the fearful tumults which night after night occur at Covent-Garden Theatre, ea have great pleasure in being enabled to state Corn"•tly the circumstances which attended its presentation at the Lord Chamberlain's Office. The idea of applying to his Lordship did not oc. cur till last Friday sieenin, when thid of calling a general meeting of the inhabitauts of the City and Liberties of Westminster ,was given up, as nuativiseable in the present agitated state of the public mind, and unnecessary to urge his Lord. ship to attend to the subject matter of the Me morial. The Gentleman to whom it was given at the Lord Chamberlain's Office, on beiug informed of its object, observed, with great politeness, that his Lordship's authority extentltxl only to the Stage ; and, therefore, that he could take so cognisance of any riot or disturbance which alight take place at theTheatre. That the autho. city in that case belonged exclusively to the Earl of Liverpool, as Pritteipal Secretary of State for the ilonie Department, at whose Office, in coo. sequence of such information, the Memorial was d e livered on last 3iouday afternoon. But it is duo to the Gentleman who gave the information, to state positively, that he did not read the Me. morial, nor offer any °pillion upon the merits of as complaint. , 1 - I 1 t ~ il i 1 ~ t , t . r - Alll5l PO LICE. Tuesday Mr. John Jackson, some years since well known as a celebrated prize-fighter, was brought in the custody of Donaldson, before Mr. RIAD, charged with violently assaulting Mr. James Savage, of Walsinghatn-plaoe, un the Sur rey.side of Blackfriars-bridge. Mr. Savage stated, that on the evening of the nth of September, the time when Covent Garden Theatre opened, he went to the _Boxes of that Theatre. When the performance had concluded, he was in the front row of one of the front boxes, and the pressere was so greet, that he and others, who were in the front rows, were obliged to stand epos the cushions some time. A person came be hind him, pulled him by his coat, and told him he was injuring his property, in standing upon the cushions; he replied, that if he was injuring Isis property, he was wilting to make it good, as it was itnpouible to stand any where else, the crowd was so extremely great. In a few minutes aftor that, he was seized by the collar, by a man %thorn he did not know, and turned nut of the Theatre. At the time he was turned out of the Theatre, he saw Maernanus, the officer. In two days after, be saw Macmanus again, and engnived of him whether be knew who it was that turned him out of the Theatre, when he replied, it nas Jack. son, the prize-fighter. A few days since he saw Mactnanus again, when he repeated the sante de. scriptiun of the man, that it was Jackson. Mr. Retn asked Mr. Savage, st hether Mr. Jackson, who stood by his side, was tbo person who turned him out of the Theatre ? To which he replied, to the greet astonishment of every one present, that he did not know. Jackson, in his defence, said, that on the ltfth day of September, he dined with General G wyttne, Colonel Al‘Donel, Captains Barclay and Ilan. bury, and others, at the Piazza Coffee-house. After dinner they went to Cuvent-Garden The. etre. He did not recollect seeing Maemaises in the course of the night. Ile and the other Gen. tlemen left the Theatre soon after the performance was over, and returned to the Piazza Coffee house, at half past ekveo o'clock, to tupper; which he could prove by the above Gentlemen, the waiters of the house, and others, and that he was at home, in Grosvenor-street, Pimlico, at the time when Mr. Savage said he was turned out of the Theatre. Sunic of the Gentlemen who were in company with Jackson at the The3tre, attended, to prove his statement. Mr. Rein said, if Macmanns would repeat "tint Mr. Savage had said, he should have ono. thcr warrant. Jarkson said, he should nut be sa. tisfied with a discharge of the warrant, but called on Mr. Savage fur satisfaction. Mr. Savage very readily gave him his name and address. Mr. Jackson was accrlrdingly discharged. Fauna and FrLo►sY.—A fellow of genteel ap. pearance has committed divers villainous depreda. lions on unfortunate women, in 'Mary le Bone, within the last few days, by representing himself sometimes as a Sheriff's officer, and at other times as a Police officer, as best suited his purposes, to obtain money. This trick was practised very ge. nerally about three years ago, and a man was con. victed, and transported fur it. A female of the na m e o f —, in Norfolk.strect, was presented with a writ by the impostor on Thursday last, after she had returned front the Theatre, and al. though she knew of no such debt as 361. for which she was arrested, the fellow obtained three guineas, her all, to take her word fur her appearance next day, hut she never saw him again. Another in May's Buildings, Mary le Bone, alarmed by the sight of a warrant for forgery, entrusted apparel to the amount of 101. and two guineas in money to the villain, u a pledge for lr appearance next day before a magistrate, where he should call fur her, to avoid being taken to a watchhouse.
