DRURY-LANE THEATRE, A numerous Meeting of the Proprietors of prory4marie , Theatre ev:ss held yesterday, for the purpose of appoistring Anditairs. ,for the ensuing year, %atm Mr. Ili - eatio INAS unanimously re. I elected. i Mr. WHITBREAD, as Chairman, observed, that though the arowed porposeo(' the Meeting was to elect an Auditor, yet other matters of import ance appeared to him to be indispensably Deers 3ary to pass limier its consideration. It was al ready known that himself, with the Sab-Commit tee, would, relinquish their fuoctions at the close 'of the 'present season : a new CoMmittee most therefore he appointed, or a measure he adopted which seppe;!red to hint more beheficial•for the in terests of the Proprietary : be alluded to the pro posed of letting the Theatre for a term of years, provided a Lessee could he found competent to .the management of the Concern. 'The present Committee, with all their assiduity, -attention, and anxiety, had been incapable of making such a dividend us they had fondly anticipated at the commencemeut of theirlahours„and he appre hended that any new Committee would not be likely to augment it. A system of rigid ecouomy 'mist be introduced in every Department, such as an individual, deeply interested in this immense Concert), could alone be expected to accomplish. With this view of the case, he did not hesitate to give it as his opinion, founded on long and se rious re fl ection, that ultimate success 'could only be of ,hy letting it for'a term of . years. Mr'..Geottcg flontsms then addressed the Meet . hie. otiiierving, that no one could deplore more than himself the declaration of the Gentleman wlol)virbtil so i ;abril would yelis ct c rar io ge ., : e l the duty of Chair Man thatt 1 ; with the present sea son. Few pcirions were aware so well as himself (N4r. Robins) of the unremitting attention, un ceasing labour, and extraordinary sacritice of time, for which tbeY were indebted to that Hon. Gentleman. It evould therefore be' almost pre 4U/11pItitnii 1" ask him to resume so arduous an (ace, yet, feeling as he did the impossibility of selecting any other Gentleman who possessed so fully and so deservedly the confidence of the Pro prietors at large, which he need ,not remind them seas essential to the prosp e rity of the concern, and .taking, ioto consideration the.stimall diVidend which his' nnexampled labours, supported by the indefatigable attention of the Sub7Comtnittee, were able to produce, he could not bring himself to believe, that any More advantageous system could be pursued, than in following the plan so ably proposed' by the Chairman, of letting the Theatre for a limit e d period. lt,must not be for gotten; that doting the last Season,' a Star had appeared in the Theatrical hemisphere, from whose ,tlistinguished Josue the Treasury had derived new „.. vigour; and the Theatre been saved fromimpemi ing ruin. The attraction of the great Actor to ' whoin he alluded continued with unabated influ ence, yet this ecquisition most not he our sheet-anchor. A system of economy, unpractis ed by any IS , mid qt' Management or Committee, ' must be resorted to, by whose efforts a consider able' part of the expenditure might, .he reduced, and 'this .'objeet he apprehended wcruhl never be so well provided fur as by placing the whole re- . spousibility oh one . competent person, whose ilAcre4 should be materially connected with the immediate atioption of such a system. No Theatres could be expected to' prosper, when exposed to the danger of having its operations obstructed and embarrassed by the necessity of coitsulting On every occasion a number of persons among which migistprevail a diversity of opinions. 'For this reason 'he deprecated any Committee, and auggested that it shoUld be recommended to the present Soh-Committee to adopt the most ef fecirsal'nicans for letting the Theatre in the Illutt... ner proposed. . . Mr. Penav said be differed very materially from the WOrtliv Chairman, as will as from his Friend 'who'spoke last, on the expediency of altering'the present system. When be became a subscriber to. this Theatre, it was with a view of seeing the"! legitimate Drama restored,' and having, at least, one Theatre where foul-legged animals of all des-. eriptiona, should he excluded. The arnount of the dividend was to him but a secondary considera tion, but if the Theatre iveme to be let to any in dividual, the taste of the.towu would naturally be sacrificed to his pecuniary views. His mind, hhwever, was not fully made up upon the'subject,, ' anti therefore he woula propose that a Meeting should be especially convened in order to. take the matter into consideration on Wednesday next. -,Mr. WIIITI3READ arose for the purpose of making a few re mar k s on (fie sentiments of time last speaker. No alien was more anxious to re store the legitimate Drama, in all its brunches, than hineseif; yet he was free to Confess that he wa. not so over-fastidious as to prevent the ap, pearance of those assithals on the stage, if the taste of the town and the necessities of -the theatre 'should require them One polo ' had nearly eseaPed him ; the imtnense expellees at- anding the two regular Theatres imperiously de-• mounled, that a rise 0,, price, in sonic part, should take place, and the Pit claimed the preference.' —lle Wits sure when the Public knew that neither Theatre yielded more than five pet cent. upon- the. capital, they would readily admit an additional sixpence on the Pit. lie had been complimented by the' two Gentlemen who preceded hint, on the trouble .which he had expi, neueed in tbei'multifariotte concerns of the Theatre,' fiat the, compliment would be more justly applied to the other Memhers of "the Committee - , who had always kindly udopted his suggestions," and , ProlliPtlY carried them into effect. He was biM self 'amply rewarded by the reflection Of having partieipated i n t h e b oootir of restori.ll, Drury- Lane Theatre to its f ormer splendour. As As for trouble, he knew of. none. 'rho .stihiity, judg ment, untl- incessant activity of Mr. AltioLD, aided s by the Zeal, attention, and experienciof the Stage Bittottger (Mr. ltavrauxo), rendered his an easy t".
