All - - %an- U. wr To the EDITOR of The BRITISH PRESS. Ma. Eorroa—No man, why knows the METRO POLIS of ENGLAND, would believe it possible, that nightly, for nearly six weeks, the public Theatre could have been made a scene for the most disgrace ful disturbances, and for continued breaches of the public peace ; that the Plays of SHAE4PEARE, with the finest acting of YOUNG, Coots, KESIBLa, *ad Mrs. SIDDONS, could have been sacrificed to howling, hissing, barking, and yells, resembling these of wild brawls. !fa person, at a distance, and unacquainted with town, had read an account of these proceedings, he would have supposed that 'ionic wild Indians had made their escape into I,midoii, and were dancing, howling, sad fighting in the Theatre. into which they had broken by mistake. Caul it he possible that the moat free and • enhiclitened capital in Europe, can long bear such inroad. 011 the enjoyment of dramatieinnusementa ? But, if il:cre lie one thing worse than even this—it is seeing a PUBLIC PHIST, winch should contribute to taste earl information, advising, abetting, and encouraging all this. Let such Patter, us the fairest way or judging, make the case its own. Suppose it found it necessary, to support its debts or its expenses, to demand two shillings for each Newspaper. Many persons might think the price extravagant, and refuse to pay it. ILit Chat world the Proprietors think, if a mob, daily, wits to as semble round their doors, break the windows. rush into the house, and insist, by violence and outrage, on the prices being taken, which they t hose to fix upon. Could such Nil act NS tills be tolerated or justified for a moment ? And yet is not this the very conduct, which such Pat s r is encouraging towards the PROPRIETOR. of CoVILN f-GARDIN THEATRE ? No POLITICAL PKINCIPLEI 4 , 111 warrant such outrages on society. Our thing, however, remains, and the duty is a solemn and important one. The persons who have been apprehended in ceinsnitting these flagrant and cm - hiatus' violations of the polilie peace, will shortly tie brought to trial ; and it will be an imperious dig), both on Jeonas and Jeans, after their winds are conscientiously satis fied. that the LAW, fully, plainly, and distinctly laid down, shall leave nu future audiences to be rnistiltrii on this subject : and while the right which the spectator may hove of expressing his dis like to a bad actor, or a had play, sir guaranteed to him, it may be clearly understood, whether persons have a right to assemble, purposely, to interrupt the public amusement, to annoy and endanger the peace of tither,. and render a theatre • scene of outrage, uproar, and contest.

The pit appeared so full during the first three net. of the • play, that we entertained baugtsitte hopes the order. which reigiiel ilormg that period, would continue throughout the night. But the demou of half-price wee let in, mid soot' displayed Systiploall of his evil nature. It was not. however. till near the end of the fifth act, th.it these perturbed spints.acquilett a sufficient ascend ancy to enable them to overpoacr the perform ances. They then put forth their strength, and certainly appeared in greater force than they have lately done. Encouraged by thy wise mid saw exampleof a learned and glare Barrister, it seems now the ophumi of the multitude, that riot and spiracy are larful occupations, Anti that. to (moose their destructive inroads, cud protect property, are acts of oppression. Numbers ap peared, lint only iii the pit, but in the boxes, with the letters 4 4 0. P." and the word... Old Prices." iu their hats ; and 'we isifaerve4l, that 111:ir coudott did not belie their badges, fur they were. inviseisibly noisy, quarrelsome, and turbulent. During the Ballet of (hear 4.12.1 .ifx/ritis, the disturbance somewhat subsided. ,he, thee lads have sense enough to know, cannot i,,tersupt our vision of action ; they, therefore, chose to he more silent, except wheu u song. or a piece introduced. The music, indeed, seemed to, have some effect upon them ; for, by . 0,4414 g and danc ing in the pit, they exhibited *wither Corps de Ballet, in addition to that upon the stage. Several placards were hoisted (hiring the even ing, and a person, from tile second tier of boxes, showered 'down hand-bails .upon his. ;simians in the pit. As this person mods Ititasslf very con spicuous, we were surpris-4 to see that he was permitted to excite riot, through the greater part of the night, with perfect imo)nvity. purely the police were lint sufficiently outtbe siert, to allow this lengthened outrsg on the public pence. The placaids had little of novelty to their composition; the fdlowiinc wee too most prominent :— " Britons, be true and brave, _ Never he to Jcw or &enable, stave." " The Devil is Nark, So is Jack.—Old Prices." " Never Relax" " Rally and conquer." " Britons shall never he subdued by viigranb." " 0 P. and Clilfrwd fur ever." " No bypuerisy in the garb of charity." " Profits on On 25th, 01. us. od." And sallower of a personal nature, too infamous to be particularised. At the end of the play the groan, and shouts were enethothzed uud called for is the following order : Three shouts for the King. Three groans f.r-Keinble. Three groans her Mom warn. Three groans hir Brandon. Three shoats Lae (Naiad. Three shoats for Scott. Three shouts again for the King. After this, two bucks, 6' hut with the Tuscan grape," in the dress-boxes, prevailed on the re maining plates to join theirs in a stave of Gad save the Kiss, which was performed a-la-made of Duttli concert. Some penny whistles were heard during the confusion, but uo instruments of greater sonor ous power were ventured to be used. Two or three kicks-up, also, took place in the pit, but of the nature of their origin, or termination, we are not informed. 'Whether they were in jest, or ear.. nest—whether occasioned by internal dissension, or the interference of the Police, they were equally destructive to the tranquillity of the scene. Upon the whole, this appears to have been a , *.silying night with the opposition; and, if such rallies tie frequent, stronger measures must be resorted in, to maintain the public peace, end insure the safety of the community. The loii4er tills ferment is allowed to t.,ro on, the more serious does the evil b- - come ; and every well-wisher to social order and civilisation, ought to take an active part in its es. finction. CHESTER, OCT. 27. We are here all in a state of the most dreadful disorder, owing to the opposition between the ci tizens and Lord Grosvenor, at the head of the Cor poration, in the election of $ new Mayor. The pit Of Covent-Garden Theatre holds no comparison with the Town Hall, as it appeared yesterday, so great was the clamour and uproar of the mobility in opposition to the nobility. They tore down the culprit's bar, the benches round the court table, &c. In short, I never beheld such a scene. It con tinued with increased violence until the period for transacting business expired, and the Court ad journed to nine o'clock this day, when the business respecting the Mayo %was di.poscd of, by putting up Mr. Evans, his•Lordihip's choice, and Mr. Sel ler the popular candidate. Mr. Evans was elected bi a majority of the Corporate Body. The elec. ti Mn of Sheriff. which does not rest with the Corpo ration, is strongly contested ;an the one side, how ever, only by canvassing, and witimut much system; but his Lordship's friends have opened sixty-right public-houses, giving away thousands of ribbons.— Five or six hundred of that side parade the streets, and completely overpower the independent free men. The shops round the Exchange, and in North Gate -street, have been shot all the day, though market-day. It is to be feared that the bu siness may end iii mischief. What is most singit lar in all this is, that these proceedings should be carried on ender the pretence of supporting the in terests of a respectable Nobleman, who once brought a Bill into Parliament to prevent treating at elections. Joattet.—Diariug the rejoicings at Searbo- I rough. a maid-pervant, who thought there was a want of illumination, set tire to a bed in a Gen tletnan's house, where a large party, with the Par son of the parish, were at supper.
