From the wiener in which this fair proposition was received, it has become 'ear, that at least the moat violent of the opposers of the Managers are iumigated by some other motive than • love ofjussier.

Mr. KaMble's obstinacy and pertinacious opposition to the pub lic wishes may he railed at, but how is Mr. Keen ble to be persuaded to his own detriment (to which it is no easy task to persuade any teen) that it is the public, mad set a eonelainatioa of his maks t The experiment of last night will convince many, that there a►e some pretty good grotto:la to suspect the Litter; for the find prim-4*in that code of justice under which the pultisc will always act, is, rot to condemn unheard. Front this moment, every fair and honest man must consider the opposition or ganized against Covent-Garden, not as a well founded objection to any part of the management, but a systematic and cruel persecution of the Ma augers. We trust that me of the public prints, which has been meet instrumental in promoting this persecution, wilt new accept the terms offered by Mr. Kemble (which indeed limy challenged, es necessary to their csavictioa), sod do his that jos. tice which it might be dillionit to obtain in a crowded theatre.

In the interval between the play and farce, the confusion eel not dialinialied ; catcalhi, tritiopets, rattle*, horiii, bells. and human winces, kept up the din with unisbatunl violence. The first comm. cools* set we noticed, ;it this iieri.al, woo the ex hibitiou of a I:, , ge bill, which reached from the Peir imn:...4l.ately over the private boxes to the pit. -yes were instantly tuned to this attracting object; those who were wear etiotigh to reud. ap plauded ; dud those who were too remote:took their authority fsr its merit, and jmito.l in tile bursa.

AVllea women take up the cause against the poor Alana gm, we fear the tongues must preyed a.z.tnist them. The opposition is every night giving strot 4 er evidences of their organization and discipline ; the greet force is never put forth, but on the entrance or departure of the performers, upon which occasi ons, the uproar is almost insupportable. But inde. pendent of the evidences ors well-concerted system within doors, there are also many external proofs. Numberless letter* have been addressed to the Editors of such Papers as are too iodependeat to adopt the popular dellision, while they know it to hire delusion, and an unjust one. Even iducards have been exhibited to their disadvantage, because they have not tratapetted,and rattled, and rang belle, against a demand, whose exorbitance or im position they cannot see, end which they are net a bit the nearer seeing, for all the open mouths they have contemplated in the Theatre those four nights. It is even stated, with tentidence, that a committee has been appointed to conduct the op position ; and that, upon a calculation of their means, they leek to another fortnight es the limit of their capabilities.

There was no other oratorical display during the night ; indeed, the attempts that were made the night before, seemed to have produced their proper effect. that or convincing them that argument was not the way to success ; they accordingly relin quished it.

Upon the whole, a greiver scene of confusion than last night pr, ited we hare never witnessed.
