(Frost Ms Chester irkrositk.)
On Monday evening, lite ilia Novenshor,
Belle's Strat.s;eva was performed et our '!'bemire
to one of the most brilliant audiences witnemed th ;
season, bring by desire of Colonel EG6RTUN,
the Officers of the tent, Regiment. The enterisin,
went of A !Ale if Njstery followed, %Inch N.ts
somewhat inter' o in tie commeiiceuieut dna
second net, not lin.. e‘er of itsel of any cutisequvni,,
but for the impertinent heliavomr of the Deputy
Manager, Mr. Love:oar ; the followin,,,, are the
particulars :—The Play, as we have already ststed,
was bespoken by Colonel Egerton. (brother to
the
Member for this city) the Wool of winch rrdintent
;mewled and delighted the audienre by platiii4
several military airs : at the end of the 3d
" The Sixth. ,f ,(lay" was culled for, and play4,l;
this ought to Live satisfied the parties, but tile;
again requested it afte: the foul tli net, which
a little mute:dim), some being fur, and some ag.t..t
it ; to prevent, however. -any unpleasantness, t el,
&imams desired crew to play " !We Britassio,"
which they did, and the regimental band concluthd
their business for the evening, after the come*,
with " God Sane the King,' la,..—The regular
band then took their stations; 'it it being unusual
or contrary to etiquette to play between the lets of
musical entertainments, the audience again ie.
quested " The Sixth of AJay," from the hew of
the myth, and continued clamorous until the scene
drew up, when the opposition was so strong that the
performers were obliged to retire, on which Mr.
LOYEDAY. the Deputy Manager, male his appears
ante, and said, " Ladies and Gentlemen, raayl
beg to know what it is you want ?" " The Sixth,
May" was the answer ; he then entered into eon-
remotion with the leader of the biutd,*and made the
full ,wing polite reply :—" Ladies and Gentlemen,
the leader of the baud dots not, know the tune;
with this I trust you will be satisfied ; but if ant,
receive your money, and leave the honse Now,
Mr. LOVEDAY, whom do you think these ladies and
gentlemen carne to see ? Your own superior merit?
or did they come out of complierreut to the Patrons
of the evening ? We are inclined to believe the
latter ; and if they bad taken you at your word,
you would have had very few shillings to shake tu.
gether after the perronnance, and the reception
you afterwards met with, no doubt, convinced yo a
of your error.—But we recollect a case in point,
which brought a greater sawn thau you to his mar-
row-)one,, and which we shall take the liberty of
relating :—When the present Mrs. WHITLOCK
•~ttd the Newcastle company, and announced
th for her benefit, she was so great a fa-
vourite, (and most deservedly so), that every part
of the house literally overflowed ; her husband
CHARLES, not willing to lose the cash, caused seats
to be placed across the stage, from the rely bottom
to the top of it. Those solo know the chew said
bustle of Macbeth, must be well aware it could
not be performed close to the lamps; and, on the
curtain's rising, the whole of the audience (.nth
one voice) vociferated " fir of!" The Managers
were then called for, but Mr. AVITI•4 declining to
come forward, Mr. Wittetocz did, and waisted to
know the reason; the unanimous reply wee, to
clear the stage; but instead of doing this, Mr.
WHITLOCK. said, " What ! do you think I would
disappoint my wife's friends for a few blackguards
in the *dicey ?" After being hissed off, the play
was suffered to proceed, Winiti.oca playing 9(114.
gas; but when that Gentleman's name appeared
as a candidate for a benefit, he could not discover
one old friend to patronize him—inquiring into
the circumstances, he was told by his most inti-
mate connexions,
in the gallery !" Mr. ‘VHITLOCK,
". We patronise the blacktaards
and finding all resistance in vain, immediately
adopted the only course left for him, and begged
papers published in that
s,the, panubillitectifioer what he termed SC haste
etpipri:nreo
look to this ; and we hope they will for the future
expressions;'
Mr. LOTEDAY, and other Mann"
be more guarded in their expressions. and never
again insult such au audience under such eircum-
taxmen.
