DitURY4,A THEAVRE. Yesterday a Meeting of the Proprietors was Wit, pursuant to public notice, in the Saloon of the Theatre. Mr. CALCRAFT being called to the Chair, stated to the Meeting that he and the other Mem bers of the Sub-Committee had met the Gentle men of ,the General Committee above stairs ; that a vote of thanks had been agreed to by them to the Sub-Committee ; and that upon full deli beration on all the circumstances it had been de termined on, to lay before the Proprietors the state ment of their affairs, together with some proposi. tioas 'for the direction of them in future, which he was then about to submit. lie would first recal their remembrance to the embarrassments under 1-vl-Lich tae 'Sub-Committee had assumed tree ma nagenaft of their concerns. There was, at the time; a debt weighing upon them to no less an ,mount than 92,00(71. and Upwards. Of this th':y had extinguished, by arrangements agreed to by the creditors, about 35,0001.' The debt being thus reduced to about 57,0001. they had since received subs:riptions to the amount of 13,220/., which under all circumstances of acci dents, and change of fortune, which prevented many individuals from fulfilling their engagements, Ini;lhOtight a very creditable amount, there being then a. defalcation in the whole amount of the. sub- Scription of no more than 4001. I t was to the credit Of the subscribers that the amount was so great. Much gratitude was due from them to the Then Prince Regent, not only for his 1,000/. but fOr the effeet of his countenance and encourage ment, without which ail their efforts would have been vain. Besides these thirteen thousand pounds, there had been Subscribed by tradesmen out of the CompoSitions due to them about 11,0001., making in all 240001. .which it was their business to ac count for. , Out of this sum* stated various pay ments Which ,had been made, by which the debt was reduced to' 39,923/. Ile praised Mr. Ellis ton for the punctuality with which he had paid the rent of the theatre, to the amount, : already re ceived, =of '3,8611.' lie mentioned also the im provements made . by Mr. Elliston in the condi -tion Of the property - , by which it had- been belie -lite& at least 4,0001. The receipts at the doors having also increased considerably, proved the excellence of the present theatrical management. 'They had then left a balance of 4,5651. This had not lain idle. By laying it out in India bonds it had Aniased interest. After the most mature deli-' bera tion, it had been determined to recommend to the_proprietors that 4000/. should be immediately applied for the purpose of totally discharging the - tradesmen's debts, and' so far entirely'sweeping away the old claims of that nature which were outstanding. Among them, of course, were to be included the claims of actors, - servants of the theatre, and so on. He therefore wished this to be re eeived as a public notice to all such claim ants, that on Wednesday and Thursday in this week, • and on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs day, in next week, all such :persons had only to apply at the treasury during the usual hours, and their claims would be discharged.. There would then remain between 4001. and 5001. in hand, an amount which was no morethan neces • sary tc go on with.the current expellees. It was proposed afterwards to pay , th? interest on the bonds, and discharge the claims of the bond holders in full. As far as they had gone, therefore,• they had effected all that ever had been promised by them to the , public.— They had, and they would have, ample means to -keep faith with all the creditors, and -subscribers. After the first sixty nights performance of the corning season, it was proposed to, effect' a reduction of the subscription loan and interest, by paying off 25 per cent, and one years interest. He wished it to be known, that about Christmas next, or after, the subscribers would be able to receive so much of their claim. Th‘..s would they be able, to keep to the_ utmost scruple, their engagements with all persons con cerned: ThoSe.the most interested, the new renters -and- bOnd holders, would have' what .had. been promised, a substantial and available secu rity. The - prospect of a dividend, he owned, was- rather ,reulte, being put off for nine years, batinAlte•mean time the shares would become more valuable, having already improved 10' p er cent. - concluded by observing what .great attention had been given to the subject by the Sub-Committee; than whom there could be no Gentlemen better qualified for the business.. He _bad.uo,douht, and he:, thought, there could be, no doubt, of the ultimate redemption of the property. - The Meeting th,eu resolved to approve of the accounts laid before: them, Mr. Oakley was re-elected, auditor. . A division of the General Committee was with drawn according to rule. • The names which were arawn for retiring were. Mr. Calcraft, Lord Yar mouth, Sir T. Turton, lion. , George Lamb, and Aldeiman fchey'll-A4Piiinmediately re-elected. The t1!)-COininitte e was also re=elected, and seas stilioto consist of .N r. Calcraft Soane, fiir ,Tbornas Turton, Mr. Robins and Colonel Don g" Air: ROBINS could not help congratulating the 3 r . 4i:ietors on the improvement in the property, svhc:h he attributed"to having got rid of the old inanagemer.t, and having it placed under that of Elliston. The ,differetic . Wd . s, that n ow th ey 'were realizing the whole - amount of .Mr. Ellis , ton's rent-Hbefore they Tsi3O'e . sinking 8,000/. a • year. 'T hey were left withaAlebt 0f92,494/.25.4d.: their. debt was now little : : more than 31,000/. -The value Of shares wa§ : then sinkin g — k was no w increasing. Much of all , this ' benefit 'was to be attributed to' Mr. EllistOirs management. lie re membered the time when Messrs.- Hammerloys were afraid of having it known that they banked for the Theatre,' lest it should . -spoil the .credit of their firm ; now MessrS.. Ransom and. Company were proud of having it knoWn that they'Were bankers to the. Theatre, as indeed they hid-good' reason to he contented.. - CALCIAFT said,. Certainly the - advantages under which they met were chiefly to be ascribed management, and his onanalit) in payin g the- rent. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Elliston: Mr. ELLIsToN, in returning thanks, said— " Gentlemen, this, indeed, is a trying moment to me. Happy in having succeeded to your wishes, I wish it to go forth as my declaration, that you shall ever find me at least an honest man, and a steady servant to the public ; and when I find that I can no longer conduct the theatre,, so' as to afford a fair profit to the proprietors, I will re sign tlw, concern." Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, to which Mr. CALCRAFT made suitable acknowledgment, and the meeting dissolved. THE SLAVE TRADE. EXTRACT FROM THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST OE' TWO REPORTS OF COMMODORE SIR GEORGE COLLIER, K.C.B. [Printed by Order of the 'louse of Commons, 25th May, 1820.: " The Slave Trade, especially as it is now conducted by the Spaniards, Portskfuese, and Americans, is more horrible than ;lose who have not had the Misfortune to witness it can believe ; indeed, .no description 1 could give Would convey a true picture of its baseness and atrocity ; yet desirous, as his Majesty's Govern ment 1 know are, to put anT end to this traffic ; and anxious as 1 amsure every British officer witnessing the cruelty' of this trade must be, to prevent it, yet it is my duty to observe, from my own positive knowledge and experience, that until the Northern, Slaie. Trade shall be declar ed PtitAc'v, and every one found engaged in it subject to all the penalties of piracy, and that vessels fitted out for the positive purpose of slav ing, where it is still allowed, be interdicted to approach the Windward Coast, as well as the Gold (the Benin or Biafra Coast, being north of the Line) nearer than ten leagues, this most de testable and more than ever cruelly conducted trade, will never be abandoned by the subjects of Spain, Portugal, and America. Dutch Accra is one of the principal points on the coast for the supply of canoes to the slaving,vessels; and the protection given by the flag of that nation oil these occasions,ls afforded under the eye of the British and Danish settlements there, ithout even the power df remonstrance." lie then conclude,s_with the following remark That the vessels employ ed in the Slave Trade are navigated almost en-, tirely by natives of Africa or of similar climate,: and they are thereby enabled to endure that which no ship, manned by Europeans, ever can. For I venture confidently to predict, - that every British cruiser, exposed tdthedeluging rains of Africa during the sickly season for only a few days, will generate fever of so alarming and sal malignant a nature, that half their crew may be the sacrifice, and herself thereby incapacitated froth service. And by no other means can the smaller vessels of war be rendered effective in the sickly season, than by being manned as the Colonial schooner was, principally by native sea men, who, accustomed to the climate, can resist disease, which will ever be found the certain destruction . of Euippeans.

It seemed to be the general feeling of those who read the published account that he had pro ceeded with harshness, and he could appeal to his Lordship, and all others who attended, whether he deserved any imputation of that kind. The Loan MAYOR replied, that he had ob served in Mr. Mott a very strong disposition to have the case dismissed ; but that gentleman had been upon his oath, and of•course could not con ceal the circumstances .which necessarily led to the committal of the female. It might be said that he (the Lord Mayor) also had• acted with severity, but it was impossible for him, as well as for the prosecutor, to pursue any other course. An Inquisition was.yesterday taken on view of the., body of J oshua Jewitt. It appeared in evi dence that the deceased was a tall robust man, about 40 years of age, in apparent good health, and formerly resided in York, and on the 24th ult. became very ill, consequence of having drank malt liquor, in the preceding week, to ex cess ; a medical man was applied to, who found the deceased labouring under secondary symp toms of intermittent fever ; and, notwithstanding evefy assistance was afforded him, he lingered -until the Saturday following, when he died.

(Continued from ofir Paper of the 24th nit.) 1(J Jana 18'20. Cn.inuros, Esti - . is then called in; and examined as follows : win you state What busi,iess you have been principally en gaged in ? he Timber I rate. In what branch of the Timber Trade ?—All kranches ; Fir and Oak. -Have you, in the course of your business, been lately in duced to visit Poland and other:parts of 'Enfope have. Will you state to the Committee any circumstances which have fallen under your observation in those countries, as connected with the flasher Trade ?—I saw the general na Lure of the Trade; any particular questions concerning it, which it ►nay please the Committee to ask me, I shall he very happy to answer. I was its the Woods where it.is pro cured, and I observed the mode in which it was brought - down to the Shipping Ports. State any thing that occurs to yon *as in that part of Poland, name;y Volhynia, where a great part of the Fir and OA Timber which is brought to this Country, groWS. Can von state what vffect the alteration of Duties upon the Importation of different descriptions of Timber into-this Country, has had upiin the Countries that you hare, visited? —The Duties, since I have known the Trade, have gotie , on so progressively increasing. that I do not know the effect they have had in that 'aspect.. If it had not been, however, Pte the Importation of .Timber Nitrlli Aineriea, the whole would have come now Irons the Baltic, - notivithstanding the Doty their is upon the Baltic Timber. State what effect the diminished Importation into this Country has had upon the Count si--s you have visited ?—lt has ha.ci this effeLt, that so much Oak and Fir Timber has isot come down to the Ports for Exportation as heretofore, not so much by one-halt ; indeed I may say one-third, because in fact it is not wanted. But when 1 speak of the comparative difference of 'one - liall.and . one-third, I must go a long way hack, hecanse the Trade has been very moth diminished there indeed; at Memel, particularly, there is not one-third of a hat 113( . 11 to conse. Has that circumstance been the causte'of considerable dis tress and impoveriibment to the Landed Pioprietors hi the costntries yon has'e visited ?-4 should think not. 1 did not observe it in the Shipping Ports, where it would be iuust ob servable. - • . Have, then, the Timber growers in those countries any other rent for the Tioiber which is there grown , than the Ports to which you it rve alluded ?—Very little indeed, scarce ly any, only the local consumption. IVtien the Timber is broliglit to the-Ports, and - the British Lziportation does not take it off, a consider►ble quantity goes to Holland and Den mark, but locally they have very little. demand for it. When you stated the Export Trade of Timber from the Baltic to be diminished to one-half or one-third, (lid you mean to confirm the observation to the Export to this Coun try ?-1 did - Can you state. what proportion a diminution of one-half, in -the Export Trace to this Country, will make upon the whole Export of Timber Iron) that Country ?-1 will speak of the Port-of Memel, front .whence comes the g - rtatest portion of Frr Timber : mid I think, perhaps now, 400 cargoes may he shipped in the year, whilst formerly, before the importation of Anierican Timber into this Country, 800 or 1,000 might have been shipped. The British Trade forms now a propor tion of five-sixths to the whole Trade. As it appears, from your answers that fire-s►zths of the de mands are lost in consequence of these•Dutit;s,. what effect has the loss of lire-sixths upon the grower : of: Timber in that Country ?—No doubt be is not enabled to cut as many trees out of his forest, and the demand not being there, he cuts no more than he thinhs lie can get rid of. The %Vitt:cis is directed to withdraw. S° Jim?, 1820 1 . HENRY ThritiblE, Esq. is and ex amined as follows What business have you been chiefly engaged in ?—ln the %%ood Trade. Have you been particularly enzaged in the Russia Trade ? Partly in that, but inure particular ly in 'the Canada Trade frw.o Quelmc. From shat parts of Russia hare you been in the habit of importing Timber or other commodities ?—From-Petersburgh chiefly. Have you not been concerncd.,in considerable import; tions from Ar'changel ?—No ; but connexions of mine hate; my Brother has. . . Not front Riga hare had Government Contracts, but these bare been chiefly from St. Petershnrgh. Can you state to the Committee the condiarative qualities of Timber which run• have imported . fro.n raussia, and that which you have imported from Canada - ?-14 varies so much, that it is almost impossible to say. - The Navy Board have, by Experience, found that the Canada Red Pine is most desira ble, and is better than the Baltic for Naval purposes. "Is the Red Pine buttoned from Canada uniformly the pro duce of Canada, or that of the United Status ?—Of both. Can you state in what prOportionS from each ? —The greater portion is from Canada. It is. all ~04ported from- Quebec, though. some is imported front the other ANtnerican Provinces. What proportion, in your opinion, does the Red Pine im ported from Canada bear to the rest of the Timber imported from that Country ?—For the Navy thegrtatest proportion of Timber imported is Red Pine. For the private Trade it is not so extensive, for it is a mitre expensive Wcod, and there. : tore the quantity imported for the-private Shipping is not so large. Last year, the Navy used no other Timber the produce of Canada. - How long have-you been engaged in the Timber trade?— Since 180!, in the Canadian Timber Trade. And in the Russia Trade how I,Mg ?--Not more than five .years last past; 1 was more particularly concerned for three out of these five years ; during the last - two• years, I have hadanuch to do in the Baltic Trade, only occasionally. • What variation have those two branches of Trade experi enced in extent dnring the time you have been acquainted with them ?—The canadianTrade has increased prodigiously; from SO ships in 1801 to 800. To what do you attribute that increase ?—To the protect ing Duties. Have you made any Contracts with Government for the supply of Red Pine I—Yes, last year and the year before. To any considerable extent ?—Yes ' we delivered more thad year, a n d 20 th e y ear before. of the prote c ti ng duties being- taken off, are you n, opinion that th e su p er i or qua lity w hi c h you h ave 2 O l can theri g t cargoes ,e, event ‘ . I .e a i s t t ascribed to the Red Pixe, the produce of the North American Colonies and of the United States, would-insnre.the continu ance of an importation of that article ?—That would depend upon Government ; if they required it, of course it would come ; but unless the GovCrnment required it, there would be littlei demand. Would there not, however, be an advantage to the Go 7 vcrnment, at well as to individuals, in 'importing Thither that country where it waS of the best quality should think not, as it is more. particularly fur Naval purposes. Vo you mean to say, that iu the event of Government or the Red Pine for the construction of s in h i i i :i: i t d l7Y ls %‘ ‘ ' s O a l ti . ' t l i g ot be induced, after the protecting Duties were removed, to continue procuring that particular descrip tion of Timber from the country which supplies it of the best quality?-Government might, I should think, but not the private Merchant ships. :' • - " . Yen think they wouldirnii . ort.the worst ?—No ; but as it is Much Cheaper, they would substitute the one for the other. • Yrill then the comparat iVe difference of quality is not sufficient to balance the comparative: amount of freight?— Certainly not. It i s b e tt er; b u t th a t i s by n u means a rea-on for 1 tor importing it under all circumstances. Is there now much- demand .for. Red Pine, except fur Go -verninent purposes ?—Not a great deal. Can you state what comparative difference of price would compensate the difference of-quality to which you have alto& ediretween the Red Pine and the best Timber from the North of Europe, applicable to the same purposes ?—The. one is more plentiful than the other, and Red Noe is cheaper than the Riga Timber; For building purposes, the Itiga Timber is of equal valne with the Red Pine;. Scut for Naval purposes the Red Pine is better, as the official documents of Deptford and Portsmouth will prove. Can you state what proportion the Red Pine imported by private Merchants bears to the whole impottation from Ca nada ?---Very small indeed. Then most of the Timber from otrr North American Colo nies, with that small - exception, imported by Merchants, is of inferior quality to that imported from the Baltic ?—lt is not of inferior quality for in-door purposes ; but for any purpose that requires exposure to the weather, it is. For what purposes do you reckon it not inferior to the Bal tic ?—lt is net inferior for all inside ,pt rpme.t ; for all pur poses Where, it is protected from the Weather, it is equally good. lam now speaking, of the Yellow Pine. • You have stated that there is but a small quantity of red pine in the Noah American Colonies 1-4 is a much smaller I . . . . ,„ hfe, therefoie iess onantitY n' ' tilt to Cainada, however, is but hide' and it Is diffic say how much of that Timber there is in the Country.
