The style of this piece either siliiiihnisiosiori,
and the irlitimenti, as a Ministerial Dandy would
say, aniscpiested and boarish, IN bummed from the
olden times, when Englishmen were struggling for
their liberties. Thief and Tory were then simnel
•synonymoua, a eaufusion of Mesa finite monstrous
in these courtly flays. The morel of the nirce is,
however. unexceptionable. it illustrates, iii its
fatal catastrophe, the greet ildsatitvge which
Ministers. Statesmen, w short, all eiaores of men,
may derive from experietoe, and the ruin attendant
upon those who shut their ryes against thw useful
bescoo.

Both these pieces Imre .been repeatedly tape.

both pressed upon the Manager of the National
Theatie. and both rejected with en obstinacy to-
tally unaccountable. To Tom Out he appears
to hive an inveterate dislike : one would sup.
.pee be thought it would he the death of him.
When the 111COIlle Tax was last proposed, he made
a- conditional protiuur in its favour, which he vio-
lated. The stupithiy and blindness of the Ma-
nager, in Ibis particular, if he regards the intee
vests of the N•11.011d1 Theatre, deserve the severest
censure. It would be impossible to conceive a
piece that would be more popular than Torn Oat
It- the present moment. It is called for from every
•
part of the Country, -and from none more them from
the diatressidliitrictr. The quadrupeds have been
hitherto represented by asses. A sort of centaurs,
or "yeomen cavalry, have been substituted in the
new piece, as adapted to the. Natioeal Theatre ;
but We own our dislike to such beastly exhibitions.
awl hope we may have soon to congratulate the
country upon them as the Manager's last Kick.
The liequiry.-A Train*.

- This piece is full of pathos. The scene is laid
etAiencliester. There is scarcely a plume or in.
'Went that is not deeply affecting. The story is
told with unaffected simplicity, and has the great
advantage of being founded in fuel. The Manager,
however, is inernsible to all these recommendations,
and, with a total disregard for the true meaning
of the word, asserts that inquiry is prejudging.
With a strange perversion of taste, he has advised
that if it be produced at all, it must be cut down
to •farrt. All that remains fur the author in re-
sentment of this ill usage, is to shame the Ma-
nager by publishing the piece.

Retresekisent-I-A Comedy; in black verse.
this little production has been repeatedly pressed
upon the Manager, ■nd as repeatedly rejected.
It is from the pen of a club entitled The Opposition;
itidithe Manager has Ahearn a eletermitied antipathy
"to every thing coming from that quarter. Its fate,
however, is nut to be imputed to that cause goer.
It is a just but bitter Satire upon the extravagance
of the Manager mod his friends, end a true and
affecting picture of the distresses of the country,
that fends that extravagance. The Manager con•
sitters it, us such, a personal insult.
