This, you will say, is a tolerable daily duty. I now ',merest to answer what appears to be that most par ticular part of your letter—namely, uriferr. I ion sorry that fur the first time we must differ widely In our opinion on this subject. It has been my good fortune, during my summer attend. auce and duty at the theatre, to hart had your full and friendly conciirrmice in every shin I clew-steel fur the im provement, credit, and character of the 'hyalite ; and how ever we any differ on one pond, I trust it will out disturb any good opinion you may entertain of my zeal, uur change the belief you have in my pramiptitude to labour asaidiuusly for the interest and prosperity of the establishment; and I shall proceed with the saute undisguised freedom I have hitherto assumed on other material neadare of discussant, where you have yielded to what you haveliberally wonted my mote experienced judgment in theatrical offairs. During the many convert-rattan I bad with Mr. Lanai, on the subject of lily undertaking the maitagetneut, and alien I acceded to his request, I never varied (rum my determination on this score—a toich was, to have a discretionary plower of writing enders, and to Ise responsible to the Committee for the exercise of th-11 power. 'I his was acceded tu: I claim it as nay agreement, and you will field it recorded in the last Mutates of a full Cosi 1111 l ttee, in the ter? words I have now made use of, when I entered upon my official duty. How, then, my dear Sir, sin I to cousider your order at the prescoot inoureut, to abstain !noon wilting any, af ter rxereisoog the power, voted to ono., for the space of six weeks, diming which time you have almost been a daily v ss;tui at the theatre., walkout stating oue objte von to the former ro solution of the Committee?

What I have done ip this respect, I will justify before the fullest Committee that can be assembled, as a sound policy, and prove, upon the responsibility I am pledged to, to their satisfaction, that the exercise of any privilege m this respect bas been in every circumstance highly hem ficial, not detrimental to the theatre. Haviug staled thus mach iii vindication of my owu conduct, in the exercise of that which I consider as a right by agreement (and were it debarred me, I could nut for a snontent hesitate is the course I ought to pursue), as well as to uphold the necessary consequence and anthority of a Massager, which I should conceive tau might rather to iti crease than diminish ; I will j • my opinions with yams thus far—were both theatres to embrace one de, sod be bonnumbly scrupulous not to deviate Prom a positive pureed law, binding each other by a penally—Men, I 'ans..— with the grace of Gud--banish at!

At the expiration of two mouths they found the Lek they lied with eagerness undertaken, wale!. some—iss six months they were sick—sad in nine, they fled from their duty, and Sheridan was left in quiet liossessiuu uf his theatre, and never after heard of bad management. Here was a enre deed!—and as 1 am certain you moist often be perplexed in the same way, 1 wish it could be practicable to impose the same remedy, and tree you from all future insignificant iu trudees. I have wandered more into Ibis matter than I intended to have done ; but as the occasion has called for elucidation, it may nut he considered •cearaery.

Allowing this, I must tie absolved from hailmoring any retrograde feeling against its government ; and if the study of twenty years in the management of theatrical pm. perty, with a close application to the history of forint r times, can rpialify me to girt a decided opinion, t Olt will gite me credit fur Ibis freely and sespectfielly r . bating a proposed system, which my experience cud judg ment so forcibly point out to be fatal, and which, un a rt.:. thee and snore serious consideration, you will, I may hope, abandon 1 do not mean that Milers are always to be admitted—this is the farthest from my thonghts stud views of management : they might only tube used as cocom stances misfire them : but if they he tweeted led al one house and iiid at 011Othet, the consequence *lit be, that the public sell; crowd to the full, slid abandon the empty house—they sill !Hoed. • the success of the one, and the ruin of the other—the comfort of one and the . coldness of the edlo r— the good mans:tensest set Covent-Garden, and the lead at Drury.lane.
