AHowing tkis to be the fact, as the duty is leas heavy on such drugs, some apology is certainly due to the Public for a continuaece of price deemed too high even before the fall in bops—such a fall as Made every hop.holder tremble, and has shaken 101110 to atoms. W atched as the Breweries are by the Ex cite, we should almost think it impossible that sea mixtures could be introduced to supply the place of malt and hops. tut incredulity is removed by our taste. We pay a greet , price for Porter, because, as rem are told, malt and hops pay a great duty. We hate, therefore, a right to espect melt and hops, but not a medicine, which may oven be. tore dangerous to persons who take large pots. :lions of the..infusions termed Porter. Although .the principal Breweries stand acquitted of the there , elf edelteration, yet after what has passed. .ere think fewpeople will doubt that drugs are thus :greed, particularly by pravincial Brewers, of which, ,indeed, the consicilomt epee information, are con vincing.

But we are *wee :hat little pod is likely to result from my exited . 4 1; e or declamations: yet we most he permitted to think, that the subject of Porter is worthy of the still far. slier cousideration of the Legislature and the Backe. The latter has made most spirited and praiseworthy exertions in' its search', for spurious teas, and brought many of the hale impostures before the Politic. Why not display the same industry towards Breweries, and thus affords he Putriic o chance of once more having really good Porter, a beverage for which Ibis king. down was once famed, and one which was fitted to exhilarate the weary traveller on his journey through life's togged path ? Thos. who are most concerned 'i r in the promotion of the Public 'Revenue, should lend 101 l their aid in Deb a cause ; for though that branch which arises from the Porter Breweries is amazingly great, it is far lest than it would he, were families assured of the purity-of the beverage. At present it is in a greet degree confined to the Mooring port of society, who cannot dispense with it. Raw,' RDS Foie. DISGMVI RIBS, Bce. rm.

Mr. BRAD. BURY, who had been to uofortenate as to incur the displeasure of the audience, made the most ewes sive signs to signify his wish to address them, and at lest fell down on ills knees, but all without effect. — The pantomime, was abridged as much as possible, end brought to en end by about twenty minutes past ten o'clock, but the greatest part of the audience still remained in the Theatre. The uproar then became more violent. Two or three attempts were e to extingeish the lights; but this was alviays compsuied by demonstrations on the part of the se.l dience which rendered a renewal of the lights ne. cessary. Mr. STCPULY KEBBLE made his appear ance about r•lev..s o'clock, end after expressing his regret that any cause •.f displeasure should have bays atiorded, stated Oat the Pantomime would be with. &two, and onsti,unced a farce for this evening.— This piece of ioforcnatiou was so far acceptable, that it emptied the Theatre of the greatest part of the audience.

A Gentleman in one of the upper boxes spoke in tevear of Mr. litt.tuutlitt ; and a female Orator exclaimed with great vehemence against the attempt to run down the Pantomime by such unfair mess's. Attempts were made to tear op the seats and other wise injure the Theatre ; hut we do not conceive that any great iniory was dr , se in this way. It is to be regretted that the decision of the Manager was not earlier framed. It was evident to every person of the least foresight, that a repetition of the Patomime would only Arad to a repetition of the disturbances.
