Now,_ Sir, I perfectly agree with time wise men of the
west, that "drawing Me more respectable and wealth,, pert
of the population of London along the banks of the
Thamrs, is en operation which they will be all of them
very unwilling to undergo, and it certainly is important,
if we really are to he serred, that we should begin to look
about us. But I euspect them must be some little ambi-
guity here. I was a little startled when I first read the re-
solution, but after due consideration, I feel quite satisfied
that it cannot be it part of the design of the projectors of
draw any of as along in the way threatened, and my fears
on this score having subsided, I am in a condition to con-
eider coolly and at leisure, what is the nature of the evil to
which, in this respect, the proposed THAMES QUAY is re-
presented as likely to give rise.
It is meant, I take it, to affirm that the consegnence of
this magnificent improvement being completed will be, that
those who otherwise pass through the Strand will be at-
tracted by the T HAS, as Quer, and will take its promenade
in preference. This, reducing it into plain language, is the
sum and substance of the objection. Now those who come
to a conclusion on any subject, without any fatigue of
thinking, may very easily subscribe to this Resolution;
but it Is amazing, Sir, of what advantage a little reflection
is to a man's intellectuals. If I, for one, were desirous
to persuade any one that the proposed structure could
answer no good purpose either of utility or ornament, I
should begin by attempting to show that it had nothing in
it that could recommend it to any roan of taste; that, so far
from being an embellishment to the capital, it would be
quite the reverse ; that no one who had already the com-
fortable stretelt of the Strand to walk through would ever
tern est of his way to bend his course along the new
Quay; and that consequently it was a waste of expense, with-
out eny aeleguate advantage. But to take up the converse of
this moele-of resirming—to contend that by the beauty of
its structure and its _great accommodation, great numbers
would -be led to avail themselves of it--that it would
operate as a eon of lure, " both from its permanent attrac-
tions and its occasicnal convenience," and would therefore
be retorted to as a promenade by thousands. who, but for
rich a rival parade, would never have been tempted to
breathe the atmosphere of Craven-street or the Adelphi ;
truly any one must have an inexhaustible fund of imbe-
cility that could urge all this as an argument against it. I
hope, Sir, it will not be understood that I bare any pique
at any of my fellow-parishioners; quite the contrary;
emicus PLATO, omices SOCRATES, but magis arnica
Verital ; which being interpreted, means, I am the friend
of Sir FRANCIS OSINI•NNEY and of Mr. TWINIKO ; but I
love Truth better than tea, and reverence her agency be-
%end even that of the .14%tay ; therefore it is that I do not
like to see her sacrificed either to self-interest or to want of
patriotism.
If the few parishioners of St. Dunstan's in the West who
attititt.d the above Meting had chanced to have been
shopkeerrs in Piccadilly, and Sr. JAMES'S PARK had
Lcen proposed by his Majesty to be now thrown open to
time public for the first time, they would no doubt have
instantly called a Aleeeng to petition against this most
r-rcious. free admi.,si. n • and, amongst other fruitful griev- '
:sees, it would have been aesoeven, that "this Meeting

suffer incalculable deterioration, by drawing the more

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Min Foote reappeared at this Theatre last night, after
a temporary absence. as Oriana, in the comedy of the
fur out :tit. The public sympathy, which was so strongly
excited fer this accomplished actress, appears rather to
have been augmented than diminished by recent events.
Her performanoe last evening was animated and judicious,
end was rewarded with frequent testimonials of appro-
b ttion by a crowded and fashionable audience. Some pas-
ts:7es that were considered appliea'..le to her peculiar situ-
:aim brought down bursts of applause. The other per-
formers sur ported the high reputation they had acquired on
former oceasio.ts. Charles Ketuble, as the gallant, gay
Foam Miralcl, was even more than ordinarily agreeable
t•nd efFeciive. Mr. Chatterley, as Bizarre, was spirited and
energetic; and Jones, as the bashful Duretete, in his corn-
fined delineation of libertinism and mauraise Monte, was
peculiarly happy. The Comedy of the inconstant, how-
ever objectionable it may be in language and allusion, is
cite that possesses high merits, and to which the corps dra-
-I.,:tiltte at Covent-Garden is peculiarly well qualified to
d'. justice. •
