This statement has induced me to make very particular enquiries among . so me professional Gentlemen that my love of the . science have introduced to my acquaintance, and I am sorry to and that many rnosfrespec - table Per formers, sod of long standing in the crchastra, have been compelled to relinquish their engagements, io consequence of the arbitrary measures. adopted by Mr. &snot, who it appears can introduce a foreign star, at an esorbitant advance of salary, to the se clusion of an old servant, whose talent, if not tope lior, at least equals the person's thus introduced. I. ila not led to this observation from the cirenmstanci of thonew Performer being a fereigner t , .as tam of opinion'that a Theatre as eminent as Coveotiarden, should select superior ability of any country, that may render the performances worthy the liberal pa. moms of the Public; and, surely, Music is not the least consideration, when we are informed that every .:weparatioo is making by the engagemeat of first-rate stingers, to produie Operas in the beat manner pos sible.

In conclusion, Sir, I have only to rentvelt„ that meth* present high prices of admission are so liberally 4C , ceded to by the Public, the performances shoeld be, in every •department, of a-very superior description. )t therefore behoves Mr. Haaatsto be catlike, in admisting such penurious and discreditable changes in so important a part of Theatre. Your inser tion of this will oblige, Sir, Your obedient servant, •Sept. 10. AN OLD AMATEUR. P.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, SEPT. 9. " I am happy to , state, that since I last wrote the town audits vicinity have remained perfectly tranquil. Most of the principal Manufacturers, both In this and the seighbooring towns have agreed to advance the wages of the Weavers; and, in •cotrsequence, by far the greeter part of that useful and industrious body have reamed their labours. A subscription has been set on foot, for the relief of those whose employers refuse to increase their wages, and who ass consequently still compelled to remain inactive. 6 * This morning the Spinners belonging to tisq ex- Writhe factory of T. Ilouldsworth, Esq. M. P 4 *kat again to their wonted labour, es did those of Messrs. Greentway, end some others, after having been idle upwards of fourteen weeks; end it is generally sup. posed that by Monday west the greet body of them will have resumed their labour. No poskive premise of tiny specific advance has been mede to them, but they'have gone in ander an implied understanding that theirgriev-,I ences are to be taken into early consideration by their employers, and something done to meet their wishes. Should this not be the case, there is too much reason" to feet another and a more obstinate struggle at ' no very distant period ; for, in the present instenee, they have been compelled to succumb through their want : and, with Shakespeare's Apothecary, they may individually exclaim- 6 It is my poverty, and not my will' which Comes me to yield. 66 1 am informed that a general tomcat of the Weavers and Spinners throughout this and the neigh bouring counties, as well as all the manufacturing towns between this and Kendal, was arranged for Monday nest ; but inconsequence of what hes taken place here, the measure, l em happy to say, has been adjourned sine die. " Every precaution is taken here to preserve the public peace. Parties of Police-officers and Military parade the town end its outskirts; and, in addition to the 6th Carebineers, 13ih Dragoons, and 95th Foot, in oar barracks, large bodies of Military are stationed at all the towns in the vicinity.
