THE DEVIL AMONG THE TAILORS. Foceres Burlesque Tragedy of The ; er, A Tragedo . for Worm Weidner, being announced for »presentation for Mr. Dowtoses Benefit, the tai lors, with one voice cried nut against it, declaring, if the piece was brought forward, that they should go in a body to the house, and exer cise their vengeance on the Managers, and on Mr. Dowrom in particular. This thteat, we understand, was communicated to the Proprietors, by some of the master tailors : but they answered with spirit, that they had gone to great expence in getting up the piece, and should bring it forward. In consequence of this, at an early hour last night, the doors of the pit and galleries were crowded with Stens, and the very moment they got into the house, they commenced a riot, shouting and knock ing their sticks against the floor and walls, in the most turbulent manner. Few persons in the boxes knew the cause of this behaviour, and supposing that they wished the oerformance to begin, there was a general cry of Go on, go on. The curtain then rose, hut that only tended to enflame the courage of the tailors in toe pit and boxes. l'her.• was a general cry of Dowton, Dorton. Mr. Dow -m.l then came forward. and then there was a gene ral cry of IV• DAIIIINS, se Daiwa. He anew pted to speak, bin could not be heard ; the greatest colitis sion now prevailed. A pair of scissars were thrown from the shilling gallery ut the stage. They Passed very near to Mr. Dow, t ow, and he took them up and said something, but what, we could not hear, the uproar was so great.— We understand. however, that the wur 's used by him were, " I would rive twenty guinea• to know who .:.tew these scissars." Tne anise r ost:rtuar g with increased 'inhales, tit • Managers desnaired ut obtaining a hearing in Iv usual way, thee had. therefor:, recourse to th- mode sometimes made use of in 1 2 intomime : a tail board V' as brough out desiring to know the gent'emmi's "leisure. Pa?: rs were then handed up to me galleries, aid every pos sible intimation was kiven that the piece which was so offensive to the Knights r f the I !limbic, should be withdrawn, and that thl Farce of The Lawyer would be substinited. This however, did not saisfy Ship ; he had waged ex -cc 'ingly wr a r against Mr. Duwton, censidering hum the advi.er of this revived attack upon their cables and cacao,- dem • Che tiniversal cry was then No Dowton nn Dowton !" The telegraph was again set to wark---the chalked hoard was again exhibited —arid the gentry were informed that if it was their pleasure, Mr. Dowrott should not play, and Mr. ELLI4Iow would take his part. — This offer would not do, Snip had come for a raw, and was res.ilved not to be disappointed. The ge neral sig ial seemed to be a flourish cif ihe hats :n the sir, and after it a most tremend ins burst. It was extremely fortunate for the Pro p:ietors that the foe they had to deal with was but the ninth part of a man, for had he been but an cighth, and so well inclined or sport, the Little T..eatre would have soon exhibited nothing but shreds and patches. The fail was, the sum.) , stitchers only wanted a little spirit to emu late the lice atelnevem-nts at the Orta House, bei•,c resolv:d to be in the fashion, cost what it . may. Ahout nine o'clock. the managers finding it per fenly impos ible to make peace, determined to carry on a vigorous and cl,cisive war. For this purpose some ,if the Bnw street officers was sent for, who instantly and unexpectedly rushed into the galletie_ ,s and laying hands on 10 or 12 of the petrified assail ants, earned them off quietly to St. Martin's Watch TIIIS rencisn.re instantly restored quietness ; except that now and then we could hear an un fortunate tailor pretest, that the Bow-street Offi cers were the cd.reirwt fellows he ever met in the course of his life, and had nothing fine or sa l mi:fine thou them. One journeyman tailor, hav ing measured his length upon a bench, claimed to be a cousin of the police officer by the button hole, but thL laver, who was as sharp as a 'Needle, denied the relationship, and went clean hitch through his busi ne-s. Katbariae and Petrurhia was performed without any appearance of ill-humour or discontent, and every person supposed that the remainder of the ni : _ ; ht was to pass in peace and quietness. Hnwever, many esnptiries were making in the rebellious distrifts of the house, concerning the After-piece. Some were of opinion, that, notwithstanding the hostile ntorcments on behalf of the tailors, and the faith, as they termed it, of the Managers, that the detest ed Tragedy would be brought forward ; others thought they would not dare to perform it ; while Isom?, but by far the least numerous, entertained an i.lea, that the Managers were not bound to keep it back, as their proposals were not willingly acceded te. They were in the greatest suspense ; and many legs of mutton and Irartminrs were betted on the event. 'This proceedh.g, wever, took place prin cipally in the middle of the Haymarket. where a considerable crowd of well-wishers had assembled, talking only in whispers, when a stranger appeared. The conversation ran nearly in the same strain and spirit among that part of the corps which was sm tion-d within the Theatre, and their fears were soon realised. The curtain drew up. aid the stage exhi• toted three tailors upon a hoard. The uproar be e trne universal; t:.e ladies were in the greatest ter tor, expeeting snrnething serious. However, in a very short time, the Bow-street Officers made their appearance a second rime. A feeble resistance was made, and, eventually, five or six were dragged nit of the house. [he piece dun proceeded, but, at intervals, when any thing af Red the honour of the trade, particularly of the journeymen, there was some discontent manifested by the Enna, some of whom were taken to fit. Martin's, while the Thaws remained silent behind. These unseated and uncivil inroads cooled tue courage of most of the heroes. and several of them, unable to behold the evil which they corn. o. cure, departed, cursing their stars for not being more propitious. - - A very large party of hone patrnlle I up and down the Haymarket the greater part of the night', and when the enterta;nntents were over, were drawn up brfnre the Theatre. and rem sined sn until the crowd had dispersed. In con equence of these interruptions, it Was nearly we o'clock be fore the performance was over. BRIMITOIY: Avant 14; - At eleven 4:elock, this morning.

The Thea're was very full; but tire new piece not successful, although the Ma nager did his part: the scenery and illuminations were beautiful, but the music was so very sombre, that it was mistaken for an flew,/ on the Paisce's Aetaartme.

On Thursday last, the 9th curt. the Countess of Lauderdale presented a pair of elegantly arnarnent e 1 colon's to the Dunbar Volunteers, utile, the com mand of Major Miadlemass. At one o'clock the corps marched into the park between his Lordship's mansion house and the sea, and formed in line, with their right and lett coveted by two troops of Fast Loihian yeomanry c iralry, who had in the most hand cirue manner volunteered their sea vice. , on the oc:Asio 1.

Dr. Casfrae, and thereafter delivered to the Ensigns appointed to carry them, by the Major, who at the same time ad dressed the battalion in a very Animated style. After the ceremony was concluded. her Ladyship invited the Ladies and Gentlemen, who had astern bltd to see it, to partake of a collation, consisting of All the delicacies of the season. The company appeared fascinated with the affability of the entail teis and her daughters, who vied with each other in their kind attentions to their guests. The Eat I afterwards gave a dinner to the officers of the corps, the Magistrates of Dunbar, and a nu merous party of gentlemen, at Fraser's ian ; and the privates, company by company, were entertained At different taverns, at tae ez f ence of her Landship.

A letter, dated Rochelle, July le, which seems to have been copied from some of the French Journals, mentions eight sail of the tine and frigates having ,Wiled from the Isle of Aix on the 17th.

To this, the Master report ed, that, from the evidence laid hefere hi-n, it was for the benefit of the Lunatic—and that a si:m of 40001. was necessary.
