TO FIFE EDITOR OF FRE DRIFTS!! PRESS.

Sin,
It as it I mutilate remark, that no people are so easily missed
by the arts of deateiturg men, Sr so tadignantuit the client,K
whim distorertd, as the English. This lead in the netionat;
character to tit...elope itself in affairs of Cumin.,
'Gorden Theatie. The public have. been duped by the arti-
ficer of a few tioniicious individeals, who haee pract *teed upou
Julie bull's well known jealousy army thsug which. he run-
eiders an infruieement of his rights, to raise a cry :igaiost the
Illanagtre of that Theatre, in consequence of the late ad-
miner in the prices—under the idea that no. b Theatre
is -public property, Now, Sir, it has been eliewa by the
patent, that the Moshe is private peoperiy ; that the
Managers may charge what price they think proper Ga._
admission ; Dud this b evident, fr in the circumstance of the
pi ices havnig been advanced, from tame to time, since the
"first erantiut Of thepetent:. 'that this oppusition arises, in
geett immure, from private pique, n wet, kisowu toevery
one wbe is at all acquainted with the theatrical Magog ut this
metrupolis.—The Managers bed the temerity to differ, some
time since, with one of the p;lelieJunritalists—a Wilt never
• to be fprgioesi They have Mom ventured to retain the lira
Performers in the wurki, in every Manch; this has giros
great offence to the Proprietors of a rival Theatre. Now it
happens, that another Juitriialist 'the Proprietor of must
private bates hi that Theatre, which have conmitleiebly
onsidied io value. This is sulbeieut to accouut fur his up-
, peliiioo. When John Bull is left to hiruself, he it, never tin-
' jest ; new injustice has marked the tumultuous proceedingsthesitghout. The cry has been raised, personally, against Mr.
Xemble only, who O. but one of the live Proprietors; as if the
ridvauce of priers originated With him only. When called fur,
he'made his appi'arance,but could nalubtain a hearing I te
other oceasiu, %ben he was called fur, and promised a hear-
ing, he c,nie forward, and said," Ladies and Gent lenieu, I at-
teuil your intusure." I have oftme presesit at .I:fferent The- I
ptres, when the Mauager has been called for, rad invariably
• %dammed the auilieuee jn lle4wity--the cause of the cons-.
plaint has tin iiblCli !IMO, to which he has replied. On the
present occasion, Mr. lieuilde is accused of having insulted
the audieuce by ashiug what they wanted, when it meat
have err-en Mama to him that they winded " The Old
Prices." Now, really,, NO-, it appears to me that Mr.
Kenible has llie greatest reason to complain of insult;
he was brought for fur the mere purpose of being booted
it,. fur it could out be supposed that he, us stage manager,
wiefauthorised to comply with their illegal anelonremeraftble
demands (as they have beim preyed to be ley the inveetica
lion ..1 a Committee), or that lie should know. trait he was
called upon fur that purpose. But, Sir, the ery is out row
fieed to bins, bat attaches to the whole of his family-mid.
comiections. How have they offended ? They could hare,
no concern in raising the prices : No, forsooth, lent their sa-
laries are tom large. Thus, Sir, these very-uien, alga toe.
curred hi the declaration that if the Performers wee. to
be-
ru'fit by the advance, the Public would be s.itisfiedraie now
reduced to the shift of saying, that the prices of admission
ought not to be retold, but that the Performers are tun well
paid, and their salaries might to be diuniiished. This incon-
sistency could pot arise in a public ream ; but as it is well
known that predominant abilities will raise she eery of a
few, this, joined with the malice of others, serves to ac-
count for the present proecedings. Sohn Bull, however, In:-
