COrENT-GARDEN THR.4TRS.

We a. sin congratulate the politic, on the resto-
ration of tranquillity. Last evemlg, The Exile was
performed to a full and fashioindile house ; the
pit, galleries and boxes, beim?, crowded from the
beginning ; soil even the private hoses, boast-
itig more numerous groupea of female beauty moil
elegance, thaii they have yet displayed. When we
notice the tranquillity that prevailed, we do nut
meaa to say, there were no disturbances, but that,
comparatively speaking, the tumult was nothing
to what it has been. John Bull is a noble animal ;
he may for a time be misled, but when once he is
undeceived, all the arts of all the trimmers of mis-
chief in the universe, will nut prevuil on I • to
do what he Imo** to be wrong. Thus, as it is now
ascertained that the proceedings at this Theatre
. pee Owl. as well as oppressive, all those persons,
Mho, eitherahosightlelisly entered into what they
mappeeed to be a frolic, or engaged in opposition
to what they imagined to he an imposition, and
thesis were the only participator. iu that rote, who
had any respectalobty attached to them, are now
as'unned of the part they have been induce:l to
".; take, and unite as heArtily. in execrating those
whose restless, vile. awl mischievous passions' are
still usisatiated, s the most ardent partisans theMa-
eager* ever had. One M3l having Wilde Isimself oh•
noxious to the audience, early in the eveaing,by his
swine and intrmperate behaviour, was carried to
Bow-street, amid the loudest applause from every
part of the house. He, however, returned, and,
after half play, *gain made himself conspicuous
by his disorderly conduct, 'and by rising to give is
account of his adventures' to his companions in the
pit. For this second und intuited contempt of the
laws of his country., as welt as of every principle of
decency, he was once innie seized, mid carried to
justis:c. 'tnere were a few nnmeatiing placards,
and u volley of glottis and cheers, daring the third
act, which prevented its being perfectly heard.—
The riot then gradually subsided, during the per-
formance of Don Juan, till, in the end, the whim-
' realities of Grimaldi, and the graces of the Misses
Adams, charmed the most obstreperous into ad-
miration awl good humour. Young performed
Doran, in The Exile, with much effect, and was
warmly greeted, on his return to the stage, after
his short indisposition. la the absence of Mrs. St.
Leger. Miss Logan was raised to the imperial dig-
nity of the Russian empire. and acquitted herself
as well as any of Bonaisirte's new-wade kings or
queens, at their drat levee. After the curtain
dropped, the oppositionists did not stay to per-
.
forni their usual rites and ceremonies, but inountly
and quietly departed.
