They were observed by the preventive station, who launched a boat, and soon captured the two poor fellows as smugglers. They have since been adjudged by a Magistrate to five years' service on board a Kr Nc's ship, and are now con fined in the revenue cutter off this port, previous to their being despatched to the receiving tender at Sheerness. The men might readily have thrown the liquor overboard, and thereby escaped detection, but they itnag.ned that the purchase of so small a quantity would not be regarded as an infringement of the revenue laws.—Norwich East Anglian, CIVIC MAGISTRATES FOR THE ENSUING YEAR.

(Evidence before the Committee.) T. B. MASH examined. Previous to Sir Robert Walpole's Bill, do you consider the Lord Chamberlain had any precise au thority for licensing theatres, or that the Master of the Revels had ?—The Master of the Revels, I con sider, was an officer under the Lord Chamberlain, and acted under his direction, but the licensing of the theatres was always with the Lord Chamberlain. By the Act of Anne, c. 23, sec. 12, the Lord Chamberlain had the power of taking up, as rogues and vagabonds, every person who attempted to act without letters patent from the King, or a license from the Lord Chamberlain. That was by the 12th of Anne ?—That is repealed so far as goes to taking them up as rogues and vagabonds, but there is a pe nalty of 501. imposed instead. Has the Lord Chamberlain the power of granting a license to play the legitimate drama at the Adelphi and the Olympic ?-1 presume he has that power, not of himself, but the King. But has he the power ?—I should conceive he would not take upon himself to do it without con sent of the King. The minor theatres are restricted to the performance merely of burlettas and those sort of entertainments, and are not allowed to play the regular drama. There have been several applications for leave to play the regular drama, which have been refused. J. PAYNE COLLIER examined. Do you happen to know in what way the exami nation and authorising of plays by the Lord Cham berlain, or by the Master of the Revels, com menced ; and how it was first recognised ?—The origin of the office of Master of the Revels is to be traced back to the year 15-15. The Master of the Revels was originally appointed, as far as we can ascertain, to superintend the household of the King in relation to the Court entertainments. The third Master of the Revels was Edmund Tylney ; he was the first person exercising any authority in licensing and correcting plays publicly acted. He appears to have done so in exactly the same way as the exa miner of plays at this day. He read the plays; he erased such parts as he objected to, and if he ob jected to them entirely, he forbade them. ?—I do not find that the Lord Chamber lain exercised any authority till the year 1624. That is the first instance in which he is mentioned in con nection with the control of players. In that instance certain players committed an offence, and the Lord Chamberlain was instructed by the King to remit the sentence inflicted upon them by the Privy Council. In Shakspeare's time I think the largest theatre was about 50 feet square ?—The largest theatre, I think, was about 45 eet in the interior. Speaking from memory, I should say that the back of the stage from the farthest auditor was about 45 feet. Do you not consider that the public taste has been considerably deteriorated by the quality of the representations that have been given at the large theatres ?—Decidedly. I think that the great thea tres have owed their present condition partly to their magnitude, partly to the representations that have taken place at them, partly to the difficulty of hearing, understanding, and enjoying representations of a more regular and legitimate drama. In fact, it all resolves itself into magnitude. --?—ln the reign of Elizabeth, during the life of Shakspeare, there were seventeen theatres open, but not all open at the same time; but I know from evidence capable of being produced from the Harleian Collection of MSS., that in the year 1586 there were, as was asserted, not less than 200 players in London. A company of players did not then consist of more than 10 or 12. Mr. P. F. LAPORTE examined. Where do you think is the most encouragement given to theatres, in France or in England, by the public and by the Government think in France. Is not there a tax upon the minor theatres in France?—No, quite the contrary; there is an en couragement given to enable the proprietor to bring forward the great sort of drama, which is expected to be the best. To which of the theatres P—To all the Royal theatres, such as the Fran7ois, Opera, and the Co mique Opera. Do not the minor theatres at Paris contribute a portion of their receipts towards the three great theatres ?—Th e y do, a large portion. Then how do you reconcile that with your opi nion that the theatres are more encouraged in Paris than they are in England, as there is no tax here upon minor theatres ?—No, and that is why the great ones cannot support themselves. Is not the cause of the drama better supported here, taking it as a whole, than it is at Paris ? -I do not see how; the minor theatres in all countries, being cheaper and having less expense, have more chance to support themselves than the large ones. What proportion of the receipts of the minor theatres at Paris are contributed to the large ones ? —One tenth. Are they not obliged to contribute to the poor ? —They contribute to the poor, but they make the public contribute that, because they are allowed to increase what is taken for the purpose. What proportion is given to the authors ? Twelve per cent, of every night's receipt. Do you think that the minor theatres are more flourishing there than they are here P-1 think they are. Do you think the public taste in France is in favour of minor theatres ?—The public taste is de cidedly for the best performances, an 3 whenever there are good performances at the large theatres, they go there in preference to the small ones; but the smaller theatres being cheaper, they have a claim upon many more people. Has not the question been very much agitated at Paris, whether the legitimate drama ought to be confined to the two great houses ?—lt has been. How many theatres are there in Paris ?—About 14 open at a time. Do you think that in France the legitimate drama ought to be confined to the two great theatres ?—I think it ought. You are aware that the question has been very much debated P—lt has. Have not the theatres Royal a regular allowance from the Government ?—They have. Do you know the amount P—lt is very large, indeed; the Opera has as much as nearly 40,000/. sterling a year; the Francois about 8,000/4 but then the Francois were very rich in former times; they had a great deal of funded property. I think the Opera is now given to a lessee, who receives 32,0001. from the Government, taking all the chances. Have the theatres flourished during the last year in Paris ?—They have, as much as can be expected in these times. Has the public excitement there been prejudicial —ln Paris, public excitement is sometimes favourable to the theatres, because every body likes to go and get entertained at night after business. How is a theatre managed in the provinces ? The provincial theatres are divided into three classes ; and each class pays a certain price to the authors. Is there any connection at this time between the theatre you have and other great theatres with re gard to the management ; is it at all likely that they will be at all united under one management ?—De cidedly not. Are not the actors at the minor theatres at Paris bound to go to the Theatres Royal if they become so distinguished as to make it desirable to do so ? There is in France an idea that the theatres exert a great influence upon the manners of the nation ; and therefore the large theatres, in which the best music and the best drama is to be produced, are greatly encouraged, and there is a public school, called the Conservatoire, supported by Government, in which new performers are educated, and those new per formers are decidedly the property of the large theatres, and they are not allowed to go on the small theatres, except after trying their skill at a large theatre, and then, if they do not answer, they may go where they can. If persons, having begun to act upon the small theatres, become distinguished, have not the large theatres a right to demand their ser vices ?—They have not; but such is their desire of getting for the first theatres the best talent they can, that sometimes Government makes sacrifices to obtain them—and I could quote several actors who received large sums; one who receives a thousand a year from the Government to go nowhere else but to the Francois. What do you understand you shall continue to be able to act at Covent-garden ?—I conceive that what has been acted till now, I have a right to con tinue the same. Have you looked into the finances of Covent garden theatre ?—Yes. And you know that their affairs have not been very flourishing the last year ?—Yes. Do you attribute that failure to want of manage ment, or to the state of public taste P—l think there are many causes within the last few years that have reduced the theatres to that state they are in now. I think the dinner hour is the main point; then the many nights offered to the public at the Italian Opera-house I consider to be very injuri ous; and then taking into consideration also the state of the country, and the excitement of politics and occupation, which has not permitted the public to attend to amusements so much. But you think that in Paris the excitement does not operate unfavourably P—l think we can not draw a comparison between the spirit of the French people and the English, the French are such a play-going people; and I believe there never was such a tine house, the French Opera-house, as when the Prussians were under the walls on the 30th of March. You once had a theatre that was not licensed ? —I had. Now you are the manager of a legal theatre, have you it in contemplation to attempt to prose cute any of the minor theatres P—l think the pro secution, if any, must rest with the proprietors, and I would not make myself a party to it. Should you call upon the proprietors to prose cute ?—I think that is their affair; they must manage better than I can. If 1 felt myself injured by it, I would.call upon them to put me in as good a situa tion as they can. What is the manner of reading plays at Paris, does it rest with one person, or is there a commit tee established for the purpose ?—lt is different al most at every theatre; there is a committee in the large theatres; there are some where a committee is established, and some others where the manager himself takes the reading of the plays. In Paris are there many instances of plays being detained for some years by the committee, hefore they are read over?—The answer is given the very day that it is read. How long is that generally ?—There is reading every week. Is it always read in due course, or is there any preference given to favourites ?—There is a pre ference which the manager has of selecting what he considers of actual advantage to the theatre. Then, in fact, the committee there are merely agents of the manager?—They are judges and advisers. What is the manner of licensing plays there ? There is no licence at all. Do you find that there is any want of a licence; are there many indecent plays permitted ?—The public would not suffer them; the public is the best judge. How long has the censorship ceased to exist ?—lt has ceased since the fall of Charles the Tenth. Before that time there was a licence, because they were so afraid of political allnsions. Mr. C. KEMBLE examined. Have you ever made any calculation of what would be a sufficient number of theatres for the amusement of the metropolis, considering the size of the metropolis ?—I have but one way of looking at it, and that is, that if your theatres are never above one-half full, which is the fact on an average, I can not for my life see the necessity for any more theatres in London. But if the small theatres are full, and the large theatres are only half full ?—I beg leave to say the small theatres are by no means full. Madame Vestris' theatre has been full; the Adelphi has, I believe, just covered its expenses, not more. Madame Vestris has been successful; but it is a mistake to suppose the minor theatres are generally prosperous. We see there are two of them have failed within the last six months, the City theatre and Rayner's; there are two theatres gone; then there is the Queen's theatre gone; there are three gone ; there fore you cannot argue that the public want those theatres; the public do not want them. Why should not they want the attraction, but the cause ?—Where would be the attraction if there were additional theatres erected in which the actors were dispersed ? Is it not your fault for not g i v i ng t h em some other representation more suited to the public taste? —No; if you will have the kindness to inquire into it you will find, I f ancy , t h at we g i ve them as great a variety as possible of entertainments of the best sort we can procure. The proprietors of thea tres are not authors; they can only take such pieces as are presented to them ; and they take the best, of which there is very good evidence; for some gentlemen, who thought they had reason to com plain of want of judgment in the proprietors, took upon themselves to publish a volume or two of re jected plays. That publication completely excul paled the proprietors in th• of of lie public; and they saw very clearly that these On l y* ought to have been rejected. I :.::icy there are very few in stances where a good piece has been rejected. I question very much whether there is one on record, certainly not for these many years. Do you not think it highly probable, if there we• e many theatres, you would have many companies of the same degree of excellence, from which you might select the best for performers of pieces at the patent theatres ?—I should doubt that very much. The play of the countenance, which forms 50 great a part of the pleasure we derive from good acting, of course the size of the theatre has an effect in making it more or less visible ?—There is not the least doubt of it; it may be too large, that is admitted; but who should say what is the pre cise distance from which to judge ? because you may see better than I do, another may hear better than I do, and, according to that scale, we should be obliged to have a theatre for every individual. When Miss O'Neill, and other celebrated per sons who have engaged very much the attention of the town by their talents, were on the stage, have they or have they not been able to produce an effect in every part of the theatre ?—The object is to know whether those eminent performers (I have mentioned the name of Miss O'Neill, but I refer also to your own family more particularly), have not been able to produce an effect in every part of the theatre when they have performed, the theatre being of its present size ?—All their repu tation having been made in these theatres, Mi , ,s O'Neill's reputation having been made in these theatres, and the other persons to whom you have alluded having also made their reputation in these theatres, I conceive they must be perfectly well adapted to their powers, otherwise I should suppose they would never have achieved their reputation. Then the inference is, that persons may possess, as actors, talents sufficient to produce an effect in a small theatre, though they do not possess talents equal to produce an effect in a large theatre ?—I would not exactly put it in those words. I should say a more restricted power might certainly produce a better effect in a small theatre than it would in a large theatre. Then the consequence of having nothing but large theatres would have the effect of completely shutting out all persons possessed of powers capable of being appreciated in a small theatre only ?—lt would certainly militate against a very great reputa tion ; but I should think it would not have the effect of shutting them out altogether. Would not the fair inference from that be, that as there are a great variety of powers, perhaps with the sime degree of excellence, in order to appreciate that excellence it would be necessary to have a great variety of theatres ?—lf it be necessary to have more, I do not see any very valid objection to that ; but that would be building theatres for restricted powers instead of efficient ones. What is your opinion, from experience, of theatres built of various sizes in order to bring forward pet sons of mediocre talent; what effect would that have upon the profession ?—I should think it would he destructive of the profession. REMUNERATION TO DRAMATIC AUTHORS. During the last 10 years Drury-lane and Covent garden theatres have each paid to dramatic authors, upon the average, 1,500/. per annum. This year the sum paid at Covent-garden was 1,750/., and at Drury-lane nearly the same. In these sums musi cal composers are not included, but there are some exceptions; for instance, 400/. was paid to Mr. Planche for Oberon, including 100/. for the copy right, and 500/. to Weber, for the music. The practice used to be for the author of a full five act piece, if there was no specific compact, to receive 100/. for the third night, 1001. for the sixth night, 1001. for the ninth night, 100 for the 40th night, if a piece ran so long; but sometimes 500/. have been given for a three-act piece; the average remuneration at once for a tragedy or comedy was from 200/. to 400/. Mr. Beazley received 84.01. from Covent-garden in one year for three pieces— namely, The Steward, a comedy, Ivanhoe, arid the Cozening, a single-act piece. Mr. Colman received 1,000/. for John Bull, and nearly that sum for 'The Africans. Mr. Poole received 400/. from the Illy market for Paul Pry, including the copyright, and Mr. Sheridan Knowles the same sum from Covent garden for The Hunchback, but exclusively of the copyright. Mr. Jerrold received 50/. from rhe Surrey theatre for Black Eyed Susan, and 101. for the copyright, and 150/. from Drury-lane for The Rent Day. Mr. Moncrieff received 200/. from the Adclphi for Torn and Jerry. It is remarkable, that whilst the sums received 40 to 50 or 60 years ago by authors from the the atres for their pieces were much less than the above, the value of theatrical copyright has greatly dimi nished amongst the booksellers. O'Keefe only received 40 guineas from the theatre for his Son-in , Law, and the same sum for Dead Alive and Agree_ able Sarprise, and 60/. 10s. for Summer Amusement a comedy; for The Young Quaker, a regular comedy 102/. 125.; Peepi ng T orn , 50/. ; an d t h e B eggar , Horseback, 30 guineas; but for the copyrights from 90/. to 3001. could be readily obtained. Now, how ever, the booksellers will scarcely make an offer for this description of property, and even Mr. Sheridan Knowles is scarcely able to obtain anything for the copyright of The Hunchback. This change is attri buted to the prevalence of translated and adapted pieces, which has rendered this species of copyright, almost valueless in the estimation of the trade. Of late years the rule has been at Drury-lane and Covent-garden, for the author of a new piece to be remunerated at the rate of 331. 6s. Sd. per night, which gives for nine nights 300/. ; but this is sub ject to exceptions, by bargains being made between the parties. At the Haymarket there is no rule, each piece being the subject of a bargain or contract between the author and the managing proprietor. 1; is the same also at the Surrey and other minor theatres, All the dramatic authors complain heavily of the practice of the country theatres in surreptitiously oh, copiesraining di of pieces emat successful their(m,n in Lo houses, the e rdo authors ir, i anti notplaying receiving any remuneration whatever from such theatres. Some of the proprietors and managers of these theatres allege that their concerns are so di minished in profit, that they could not afford to pay any thing for their new pieces. It appears, hoc eve;„ though it is not shown how they obtain no copies, that there must be some expense attending it; and some of the authors say they would be satisfied with a mere trifle per night, if it could be secured to them as it is to dramatic authors in France. CAUTION TO PARENTS.---A dreadful ac cident occurred on Wednesday to a poor little child, at the house of a baker in Whitechapel-road. The mother, who occupies the back room on the second floor, and is greatly al - dieted to drink, went out with some acquaintances to a public-house in the neighbourhood, locking her child, a little boy about six years of age, in the room, and the little fellow was playing with the fire, when, by some accident, his clothes caught fire; his dreadful screams brought tho people of the house to his assistance, the door was burst open, and the flames soon extinguished. The poor fellow was much insured, but great hopes are entertained of his recovery, The feelings of the wretched mother can be better imagined than described.
