COVENT-CARDEN THEATRE. Last night, the play of The Heir at LOW was perforated at this t l ;eatre, nod, we are happy to add, was iiitelligible in the three first acts. 0,1 the former night, the audience had the satisfaction, for the tiret time this season, to hear part of the . play, hut it is a decisive pioof that the good sense or the public is continuing to gain ground, when we see that Cha row is becoming more reliactaiit in its commencement ; its advocates, upon the fanner night, ventured forth immediately after the second NM. but last night they thought it advisable to wait for the conclusion of the third. The tine acting of Memos. Emery and Fawcett, afforded the utmost delight to those who had the good fortune to attend before the hour of second pr ce ; but all who came afterwards were precluded from any other enjoyment beside that of uproar. as, indeed, most of them seemed anxious for that alone. The noise, however, even then, was by no means so great as usual ; on the contrary, it is now so far red used, that Ladies may, with propriety, attend. And, we are happy to conclude, that, from the number who appeared there last night, they begia to be of the same opinion themselves. lo the beginning, a gentleman, who had not patience enough to wait for the presence of his party, the Iraqi price aim attempted to obstruct the perform:tote' with a cat-eall, hut he was soon convinced that his music was out , nf time, by the appearance of some Bow-street officers, who, to the astisfaction of every one present, put an end to his exertions for the night. In the course of the performance, Revere] hind bills were thrown fruits the boxes into the pit ; his• no attempt was made to introduce placards, until the last act of the Play. The only instrument which accompanied the noise on this °session, was the cat-call ; one attempt was made to revive the horn, but it was not repeated again ; and the rattle just signified that it was not absent, and re lapsed into silence. When the curtain dropped, the tumult was very loud ; but it was not a tumult of nom) aed erasure. The plaudits were vary general. The entertainment formed • counterpart to the latter acts of the play, and noise and titinult pre vailed. The sweet music of The Padlock was lost amid the groans and hisses of the petty half-price opposition. We were not, however, stunned with any instrumental discord, except one or two pna., from carefully-concealed horns. One of the per formers was at length discovered, and dragged to justice, from the midst of his cowardly friends, who indeed cried " rescue," but contented theta selves with the cry. Such are the combinutions of the vicious. Another fellow made his escape from the officers, by leaping dexterously from the lower boxes into the pit, where his freints received him with open walla. The noise that prevailed eras sufficient to destroy any idea of receiving plea sure from the stage. Gentlemen, stuffing their &gen into their throats, for the purpose of giving acuteness to their whistli.ig, presented a true pic ture of the maitre and qaality of those who dare to tall themselves the representatives of the British nation. It may seem astonishing th It this nightly hubbub should have been endured so long, mole especially since it has been ascertained, from the first Law Aatherities in the kiogiloin, that the Ma nagers have it in their power to call the law to their aid, and effectually put it dawn in one night. But when it is coasidered, at the same time, that public melt mast be very averse is resort to mea sures so strong as to leave en angry feeling behind them on the public mind, we can uo longer be slur prised at the excessive lenity with which the Pro prietors have proceeded. The same consideration accounts for the very injudicious steps they pur sued at first ; when. by giving up Catalani, sending the Magistrates upon the stage, and sot suffering them to act afterwards, and other con ciliatory measures, instead of allaying the ferment. they encouraged the ruffians who set it on foot, to proceed to this lengthened struggle. With a prompt and vigorous enforcement of the law of the land, it would tan havc lusted three nights. We never yet knew concession, appease, or fair state ments, satisfy, a mob, incited underhand to deeds of lawless fury, by desperadoes who dare not shew their faces—private enemies, and men of the most notorious On r.icter, lit every respect. It is, however, subsiding, and, in the nature of things, must subside. The promoters of these riots will at length tire of ap plying the necessary stimulus to their partisans, and the public voice will thirst be heard. In the mean time, it behoves the real f tends of order to conduct themselves gitietly, though firmly; and. by a peace able and gentlemanly demeanour, contrail them selves with the noisy and riotous behaviour of the other side. As for the parties in the pit, we see not a shade of difference between them. If the Ma nagers hare hired Jews (ns they sire accused of having) we see .• Jemmy from Thum," in his while hat, and other prise -fighters and blackguards, hired by (John Ball? no ! by) the faction who usurp his name for such disgraceful purposes. It would he well were the officers, instead of attempting to seize these well known characters in the House, and thereby crest nig a disturbance, to mark them for a visit at home, on the following or any other day, as they always boo* where to Had them—verbatim sapienti. Very few placards were exhibited iu the pit, and • . • • tonne in the looses; awl, from thew trmt•ient nature, it war im i m o i t od e to 111 Ike out ti.e.r eenteut•. At teodiiig to tn.•ir temponty elevation, to the deseent of showers of hurt-bills from the gallery. and to a row in the back-:vexes. nets,ioned by the attempts of an orator to address the surrounding ntoshitude. the curtain dropped, amid mime and 4.01161111011.

Here thisgrairmantico/ slid ehigit-tit .peaker closed his oration, amidst the ',Ludas of h,, learned coad jutors. A female then presented herself in the pit, and spoke as follows :-- " Gan wwwwww is not my intention to adam. you ; but I reinert the serious attention of those or my own sex, who frequent the pit and pitches.
