was determined ht .a majority of votes, that the Report of the Special Committee (appnioted to iiivesticate all the con cerns of the Theatre) should I I s . adopted, in preference to the Report of the Geode! Committee. The Remelntions in the Report of the Special Committee es 'braced Iwo objects; nor one to ',feudine with all the ere donee or the proof., ay, to accept a composition of ten shil lings in the pound upon their wapective Ilrbix, under an en. &mg.-anent, that the Throne shmild not be opened till that compo.itien was carried into effect; the other, to place the whole neeohnion, Yoolnct, control, and expenditure of the Theatre in the hands of George Colman, Deg. The Sob-Committee enneeived, and they have since been Yonfiensed in their opinion by the higheist legal antleo oy, that the utmost extent of the Resolutions of any Sperm! Commitlee, not recognized by the Arts of Parliament, must Ire blind , erlely to advice and recommendation. The General Committee have doicurred in the opinion of the Sub Committee, as appears by their test Report, that the adoption wf each measures as propos, el by the Select Special Committee, would orcaeion absolute rein to the property intrusted to their direction; and that the grant of 'Such et limited !meters of assuagement, would he incompatible with their due control over the esbiblishinent, which has beets placed, exclusively, in their hands by the Legialatare. The Soh Committee have, in consequence, proceeded to make the necessary arraiseemeuts for upeniug the Thea tre. They and applied In Mr. Colman, to ascertain upon What terms, and with what powers he would undertake the ma nageMeut, host that Vignettist. required that the financial difficoltiee of the Theatre should be removed, before he would stale the terms of his proposed arrangement. This reply, of coulee, cant laded the negotiation. It may here be necessary Instate, from undoubted autho rity, that that gentleman required au ancontrAled shy clone of the Theatre for a term of years, opou a very high salary, with an additional salary to a stage manager of his own op. pointment. The Sob-Committee then entered Into terms with Mr. Stephen Kimble, a gentleman of known &Amalie talewts and exprrienev, of integrity and independence; and be has tindertalten the entire directions of the Stage in its several departments, tinder the danWol of the Sub-Committee, *woo a salary of 4001. per annum, and • commissar of lU per ▪ ht. upon profits. The Coomlttee were proceeding in the other armoire ineols of the company, when they were interrupted by the following placard, issued by Sir. G. H. Roblin, and most indecorously paraded on a board, before Drury-lane Theatre, null posted up against 'the walls of every theatre in the metropolis, which was most injurious to the interests of Drury-laue:— PLACA RD. Drnry-tane Theatre. " On the part of the Select Committee of she coneenis of the Drury-lane Theatre, of which Committee I atm Chair man, 1 hereby give notice, that by a Resolution of the meeting of Proprietors of the said Theatre, held on the 31st day of July last, it was determined, that the said Theatre should not be reopened; and, that no contracts ir engage. ments should be made, by the SulaComtnittee of Manage ment, with performers or other peremo, until certein ar rangements were made; nod that such arrangements have nut been made, so that no engagement or contract 11111.1 e, or which shall be made by Ike said Sub-Committee, will be valid or effectual. Performers, or ether persons concerned are, therefore, hereby cautioned against making or entering luto any such contract or eagsgement. H. ROBINS, " Chairman of the Select Committee.'" This placard wet having the effect of .topping the efforts of the Sub•Cominillee for opening the Theatre, an iojund lion was obtained from the Court of Chancery upon the ex. parte application of Mr. G. H. Robins, the ble George Lamb (s Member o f Me General Committee), John Ellis (the Solicitor in the cause), and others. The Sub- Committee immediately prepared their answer to that bill, and opens a hearing before the Chancellor, he determined, after • most luminous exposition of the bearings of die two Acts of Parliament, to dissolve the injunction. - - 111 Ilirret opposition to this decision, of the highest snob°. city, Mr. G H.

" Sagami (by order of the said Committee), "G. H. ROBINS" The Sub-Committee submitted this extreortlinary notice to the consideration albeit stawding Counsel, who has given los derided opinion, that such notice on the port of Mr Robins, as Chairman of a Special Committee, is of co more weight or validity, than if it came from any oth►r dnal Proprietor ; and the Sub-Committee, by their simmer to the Bill in Chancery•, and the Lord Chancellor's decisimi thereon, are boated to proceed in the execution of their dote. Notwithstanding the weight of this opinion, questions have horn started in the Court of Chaucer, a■ to the infor mality of the election of the Sub-Committee, they, therefore, now revert to an anthority, which is indisputably valid, the authority of the General Committee. The Sub-l'onitnittre are only a component part of the General Committee, and consider themselves as delegated by the General C 'tier, with certain limited powers; and as the form of that deltio lion is objected to, however erroneously, they now call noon the General Committee to exercise their mittiority io giving validity to the acts and proctediop of the Sub- Committee. The Stsh-Conunillee have provided the necesaary means fir opening the Theatre, by an arrangement null their Bankers, giving them 'activity un the prop. riy of the Thea- Ire. and to repay the advance by tastakneuts out of the • nightly receipts. to refutatien of the charge of their emansgement basin; greatly ioereased the deli of the Theatre, the Sub-Commit tee sone% an abstract of t►e tucome and tepee:re of each @esteem respectively.

'Elie nest brunt% is of the Rood Holden., Who stand swat to the New Renters, in order of payment out of the re ceipts, and whose situation is nearly similar ; a huge propor tion of their debt is nut claimable for some years, but there is an arresr of interest dote upon their bond+, whit It must be added to the principal debt. The Sub-Committee arc here shin' opoittioto, that the 'Bond Holders will,'for the prevent, he satisfied with the regular pymesit of the current inle. rest until the Theatre possesses the means of discharging the prim ipal.

Siam the year 1800, we have not had ouch a continuance of the aolar heat, and der present ha t has liens one of the earliest, least expensive to Me farmer, and most pleasmt In the labourer, which has been known iss this country. Wheat WAS stacked as early as July 18, and Beaus cut before the 31st. In some parts of the west, the wheat harvest finished with July. Labourers have bee. scarce in places—evincing • pleasing change of eitemastance front the last two years. T4w reports of the Wheat crop continue universally favour able, anal the prevailing speculation is, that the present growth, added to t►e foreign Wheat nn hand, will amount to • full two years cuossisuptims. Waren showers might have improved the Wheats mill farther; but its present condition ■nd quality are admirahle, the VMS large a n d well filled, and the weighs so considerable, that it is 'opposed moth of it will weigh from 82 10 641 his. prr Winchester bushel. As it was ready fur stacking almost as moo as cut, it will be equally ready for grinding. The whist crop is said also to be great throughout Europe; and no doubt but as great a quantity se possible, front all parts, will be sent to the English market. Illegal fishing, of a curious sort, has lately been discovered on the Thames—regular fishermen, and large bodies or poarhers, sweep the Thames, night and day, of sill the white 6th, for the sale of their scales merely ; throe are sold to Jews, for manufac turing beads in tinitat of pearls.—roach scales are sold at els. a gnarl; dace, ; whilst, for bleak, four guinea s a quart is the present market price in buke' I ! The scales are torn off th e m as fast as they are caught, and thaw, often dreadfully mangled, they are tossed back into the water to huger and (lie in torture. EXECCTION:—Momisy morning W.

When the Rev. Dr. Poyliter, Vicar Apir lobe of the [Au dits district, was rxnnined before this Committee, two years ago, he stated, that Mr. Butler hailmade an inquiry of him, Whether Roman Catholic paresits mould eomacientioully send their children to the school ? and Dr. Poyeeter's reply was," Considering that the reading lessons were to be taken from the Protestant version of the Scriptures, I answered Mr. Butler, that he knew that I should net in direct repug nance to the constant and universal practice of the Catholic chnith, were I to appraise of the reading, by Citheilic chil dren, in • poblic school, of • amino of the Leered Scrip tures emanating (roan a body not in forumuuiun with the Catholic church;" haw do you reconcile Dr. Puynter's view of this subject, with what has been staled to the Committee Upon the present occasion ?-0f course, I can only speak from conjecture; I apprehend that Dr. Poynter meant the reading of the Scriptures indiscriminately, nut select por tion. of them ; besides there is a Jifferenue between tolera tion abd approval. Doctor reyuter, in answer to • question, whether he could allow any portions of the Protestant version to be *e lected for the use of the Catholic children, said, " No ;" how do you reconcile this?—lteally, I apprehend that Me llor Poynter is the person to explain his own meaning; I cannot pretend to do it; I did nut hear him give his evi dence, nor do I know that I have read it over. 1 cannot un dertake to explain what another person says.

It has Men soften and well observed, that if there he any one - eircuinstanee which has more than another contributed to tXIIII this country to the high rank which she holds among the surrounding nations, it is the acknowledged superiority which she enjoys in the diffusion of knowledge among the various classes of society; this is 1111 advati. Lige which invariably leads to the most beneficial re sults.

Hence it may be confidently anticipated, that every friend of humanity wi!l ilesila not only to see the benefits of education widely diffused, but will also co operate willingly wish any plan by which these objects are likely so be accomplished. Under the confidence which such a feeling, iuspiics, the Committee of the East Loudon Irish Free School now presume to appeal to the public, and to solicit their attention to the following statement : The Committee, well acquainted with the district em braced by this society, deeply commiserating the state of ignositnee in which the childreis of the Irish poocare grow. lug up, are desirous, if possible, to interest the public feel ing on this subject, and to attempt to cc move 144 worst of evils from their poorer neighbouss.

That there are already nu merous schools is readily admitted; but in the peculiar si tuation of this neighbourhood, with • numeeilis popula tion, distinguished by peculiar habits, and professing a dif ferent faith from their neighbours, the major part of whom arc in she lowest circuntslatin•s, there can surely exist no doubt, notwithstanding the massy exec:He'd instoutious al. ready in existence, bulb as tie the necessity and duty of sup potting this; fir this c onvictioss, the Committee, while they gratefully acknowledge the support they have already experienced, now appeal so the public, to afford them the means of realizing those encouraging prospects of useful. ness which are daily rising before them.
