- . • u 7"" COVENT' GOLDEN. . . It was very generally anticipated on Saturday, that the Proprietors of this Theatre hail come to the wise resolution of conceding to the ignities of the public, and that a reduction of prices to the old standard would be aotiuutited, previous to the rising of the curtain. In this expectation the public were, however, disappointed ; fur although the apprehensions of the Proprietors were visibly excited, their determined obstinacy (as it appeared Lithe sequel) .wits _not only unsubdua, but even stadinsinishaL_Dx house was by uo means until long lifter thr flours were opened,,bur there slivered on the parts of thole wha took their stations at an early hour, • determination to rival even the — Proprietors in perilveranre. The concert so gratuitously tierformed, contrary to the usual custom iii places of public amuse. anent, by those who had paid for their admit. tien, commenced en Saturday evening. at the usual , hour, but with an ad.lition to the usual instil'. ments. The performers, profiting by the experi—i enc.: of the preceding evening, supplied those de. , fici niies of instrumental music, n hieh had at first necessarily been apparent; so that there is, per. baps, no instance on record in *hich a popular cowed was so perfeetly supplied with instils -mental music, or in which all the performers so IPoireetly sustained the diff.rent parts. To the banners that had been unfurled on the pre. cording evenings, there was a very numerous addi. lion ; many, attachrd to long poles, were handed r wind the house for general inspection, atniilst re. iterated shouts of applause; others pendent from fixed stations waved gracefully with every occaai Mmal gale that came from the side scenes. And ' the Ladies, a ho, in every thing that interests their feelings. I.lcid in ingenuity of device, as well as fervor of zeal. had pinned inscriptions on almost every part of the front. of the boxes, and that too with such tasteful contrast, that every banner might be accurately distinguished, although in hull, ciliate contact with its neighbour. So nu. merous indeed were the inset iptiuns uu thefronts of the boxes a • I galleries, as strongly to resemble those which adorn the intetior of the Royal Exchange. There wits, however, this tr fling difference, that as those of the Royal Exchange relate to every . snhjeet, these at the Theatre were strictly confined to one, and all expressive of the unaniiiiuss deter mination of the public to resist imposision, ex tortion, and the granting of exclusive privileges. The following are a few, awl only a very few, of these sententious expressions of public semi went : " Six per Cent. only for ten years , past !— Who believes it?

The exhibition of this placard proetsTea im mense applause. By this time the fir:Asa of the. play was over, but not a syllable of it war heard, oar was the least attention bestowed on the per. formers..all was tumult, end ' 4 confusion worse confounded," than on either of the preceding nights, with the exception of a considerable •abatement in each parts of the amusement as were pugilistic, and of the stickado kihd. Some of the letter were, however, performed in the pit, by au. fhority; by an officer of the stafrEgtabiishment, who, in vulgar phraseology, is denotitinated•a cots stable. The performer was much discouraged thy hisses; but he gained his object, - iter. seeded a few of the most refractory persons, and apparent leaders of tumult, to retire with him to the Office of the Police, to ascertain the state of lA. poll. Another burst was shortly made, and a deiperite scuffle took place; several heads were severely bruised by the staves of the constables, t • *lie were at length obliged to retire. The bills and placards continued to increase an ,vapidly, that it was impossible to collect them all, for they, at last, covered each other, and the Is. dies appeared delighted with the task of fastening them with pins to the cushions in the front of the boxes. or those exhibite•l in the advanced state of the uproar, the following were the must striking : " Aagels and Ministers of Grace, defend us!" " Juno Rota.— • " Ile hold and resolute, " Fear not to she* disapprobatioa; " Be not unsteady is pier sail, Pot firmly keep your station; For none of Keisible born • " Uall Kull a British notion." Here Mr. Ise Limon seemed desirous to addriss the audience; bat ho was forced to take refuge in 66 the family vault of all the Caplets," as every other perfutaier, male and female, hail dune...- They had, indeed, "their exits and their en trances," but many parts they could nut play, even though their acts were seven ages. A third series of placards was, at this time, either posted up or distributed, of which the must a ppla tided were, " The Public were the hest Arbitrater4.—Nn Max.—Vox suprenia les !" . . . "The Court of JuAice.— lons Bo Lt. against Jolts c - ut.E—Verdiet ftir the " Here lieth the Bo Iv of New Prices; an aglv child, base bora, whn died of the whoolting chug!. on Satarday night, the Yid of September, aged asst uights." To this inscription was attached the drawing of a coffin with cross bones. "Joey BULL ever wag, and ever will he, a Rewarder of Merit, but a despiser of Avarice, and au inveterate enemy of Extortion." " Take ears of your Characters lo the Third Story." (This was exhibited a few minutes after a per son, supposed from her manners to be of an im pure description, was discovered in one of th Private Boxes, much shouting and hissing follow ed—and the tidignatim of the Pit was expressed with a nudity of exprcasion which it is impossible to report.) " Au English Andiesee Is sot to be intimidated by Row street Olkers I" " Clerks of the Bank sire forbidlen the Theatre through Joss )(seem" " Raising the Wind; the part or Jerry Didler by JOHN KensLc"- " E, lend experts that every Num will do his duty." " Repent, Monopolisers. before the just and determined in di,mation of an inAtlted BritiA audience overtake your career." " Jona BuLt...T•ints Flu Jona" Bum.. be steady, bold. and re4olute; lough to scorn the pourer of KunaLs, for nor.r of that tribe born shall harm Johu Bull." These placards, cam multi: aliis, were ap plauded on their exhibition, accordinet to their estimated merit. The curtain having, alsrpt half• past nine, dropt finally for the night, for it %sere frivolous miriutenoss to divide the scenes into play and afterpicce, when the whole was but one and undivided scene of uproar, several orators presented themselve4, but the only one who oh. rained a hearing was a Gentleman who had ad dress •d the company on a former night. lie •po:ce nearly as follows : " It , eensi hit the gentleman who leas several eveninzs from this hos a idre.sed you, has, far some reels 'n which I am urrecquainted, not .tept thrward are online to g Prpeetation, on which nceosurt I. who have had the hom►ar of aldre:•he a few words, which you were pleased to hear with a &tiering attention, Dow 'LA of 3011 a sein.l.tr leant genre." " Hear ! hear!" was exclaimed and echoed over the house, indicating that the once turbulent dad tornultous had nits, become a peaceable and altuust patient at.sembly, and converted into an audience.' Tne orator proceeded— OVITLE V/ IL V, I step forward now for the purpose of claiming the Manager, that we hare mit altered our semi ervifig, and that although we have not attained nor end, he has not attained his (.ipplante.) I thereftre trust snu will re.eive the kw obser• ttLNu which t ant about to make ts ilk some attention, and I a n the more emboldened so to hope, ►ecatwe I am sure that .you have most rigidly conducted 3 our .elves to-night- " in the first place, then, give me leave to cnngratulate Non on the issue of this nigat (Bravo! Arse° ! ) It has reflected great credit, and est)a hedger, on the palliest large, of e hich ' you are so considerable a part ; for 3ou have acted with a degree of vigour, and of finales% which, if continued, no thing can defeat, and which I consider as a triumph over avarice and insidence. Avarice, I say, lyintase the Proprie tors are. unt satisflel with the protits which they have re ceived, tint which are etioromus, ant yet they seek more, for which there is out the least neces-ity. Insolence, I say, too, for insolence it truly lit for every night we have met with nothing else. Bat you may now see how the title gars & some Irides we have obtained. On toe first night, our mighty Nlanager did not aeiga to appear before us after the drop ping of the cut twin ; on the woad night he did & but, as if he had drool from the clouts, knowing tiothine of what hail transpired upon earth, he gravely told as he did not know what it was we notated. By so doing, 1 My, he told as a known and direct falsehood. I say that this is utipardotiable insolence; that hr knew not what we wanted! Why. every little boy in the street knows what we wan►, and it is gross prestimpti sn in tie NI out;; •r to affect ign ►ranee of it. I say this was it deliberate act of e miempt towards us. The neat night h.. came furoa d. and made certain assertions, bat nn oar he;ietted then [l:prudej. Gentlemen, there is a certain nu niter of peiso s in this Howse who suppott the cause of t to Manager, hut they d t it in a piteil wits, fur it is pinto' to attempt to put lite &IMO when I am speak tlig fur tie putt lie.

[ ftraeo 1 bravo Gentlemen, the Manager told us the other night, that the rise in the price of all the articles neces.ary for a Theatre, made it unavoidable . rato ise the price of admission ; and be told us also, that the . rive in the prier of admission had been, and would be. fa vourable to the p-rformena in general. This last assertion was made to conciliate us, for he knows that we admire the Lion in general ; but where is the actor who is to come forward to eorro:porate this stateme t No; they all i their hearts, whatever some of them may be constrained to utter with their cani-ina their tyrannical Manager.— [App'ause]. The Slairt;er talks of the advanced price being favourable to the Actors; bat he has given no proof of it.— The reason is, that he bas none. No, no! the rise in the price of admission was intended to have two different ef fects. The one to enrich the Proprietors, and the other to cover enormous, seatidalouN, and inconsistent engagements. [Bravo! Bravo! [hovel] And tsar what t Can any thin/ be more jam, Astro!, or repugnant to the feelings of a British audiescc, tillJ to have native British excellence superseded by Italian squ 'Mag. I say we have a right to resent this, and to put the worst of all tit airical constrictions on it. As to the ot:aer point, that of all the articles wills which a Theatre is furnished being dearer now than they were for merly, I do not know the cost of getting up, I believe, they teFm it, of a play, and here my ignorance is quite ni eyes'- , able as that of Mr. K axe ; but 1 should hardly think they are much dearer to Si r. Karttt.e than ta any other Manager who has not raised his price. For these rea‘ons I submit to you that the Manager's excuse for raising the prise is iumt.%- , cient." Here the uproar niado it impossible for any body to be heard for many mitintes. The cry of Mannzer! Manager! throughout the licolse, very few haring left it since the dropping of the curtain, was the only distinct sound. At last ap peared Mr. Kmast.E. Great uproar—a cry of Down! down! dozon! Silence! silence! !laic of! halt of! al Purr says in the fence being obtained, the Manager proceeded nearly as follow.: " Ladies and Gentlemen, I am now, as I always 'rave b-en, proud to wait on your commandi. lad .T.
