" On Monday lajl, agreeably to notice,
the Books for the fubfeription of Jhares in
the Columbia Bank were opened. More
than double the number of /hares permitted by
the law to be taken, were demanded. Of
eonrfe, a reduction became necessary. Subscrib
ers under 20Jhares were not touched—all
the rejl were curtaded, the great,jl proportion
being taken from the largefl fubferiptions.—
The bii/inefs was ft conduced as to afford,
Bttwihjlanding the disappointments, general
fitisfaSion. The large/! number of Jhares
taken by one of the gentlmen appointed to re
ceive fubferiptions, is 120. To the honor of
the inhabitants of this town, they were re-
Jlrained, by considerations oj delicacy, from
engaging in any kind of speculation upon the
fubjeti ; though it was evident that they might
have done so to great advantage. The great
bulk of tlx Jhares was taken by those who
mean to hold them and not to fell ; and a
great number is in the hands of country gen
thmen, and monied men, in different parts
tf thejlate.

" We are informed, fays a correspond
ent, that the class of citizens" who have
petitioned against the stage, are in no de
gree displeased with the comparison ialti
tuted in this paper of lalt evening, between
the Theatre and Swine. On the contrary,
they think, that, as the things compared
are evidently some of the dirtiefi and mojl
filthy in nature, the simile is peculiarly
happy, so far as this point of refemblahce
is concerned : And they are confident that
the public will remark that there i» not a
shadow of likeness in any thing beside ; be
