II AY.KARKET THEATRE.

THE DEVIL AMONG THE TAILORS.

Foceres Burlesque Tragedy of The ; er,
A Tragedo
.for Worm Weidner, being announced for
»presentation for Mr. Dowtoses Benefit, the tai-
lors, with one voice cried nut against it, declaring,
if the piece was brought forward, that they
should go in a body to the house, and exer-
cise their vengeance on the Managers, and
on Mr. Dowrom in particular. This thteat, we
understand, was communicated to the Proprietors,
by some of the master tailors : but they answered
with spirit, that they had gone to great expence in
getting up the piece, and should bring it forward.
In consequence of this, at an early hour last night,
the doors of the pit and galleries were crowded with
Stens, and the very moment they got into the
house, they commenced a riot, shouting and knock-
ing their sticks against the floor and walls, in the
most turbulent manner. Few persons in the boxes
knew the cause of this behaviour, and supposing
that they wished the oerformance to begin, there
was a general cry of Go on, go on. The curtain
then rose, hut that only tended to enflame the
courage of the tailors in toe pit and boxes. l'her.•
was a general cry of Dowton, Dorton. Mr. Dow-
-m.l then came forward. and then there was a gene-
ral cry of IV• DAIIIINS, se Daiwa. He anew pted to
speak, bin could not be heard ; the greatest colitis-
sion now prevailed. A pair of scissars were thrown
from the shilling gallery ut the stage. They
Passed very near to Mr. Dow, t ow, and he
took them up and said something, but what, we
could not hear, the uproar was so great.—
We understand. however, that the wur 's used by
him were, " I would rive twenty guinea• to know
who .:.tew these scissars." Tne anise r ost:rtuar g
with increased 'inhales, tit • Managers desnaired ut
obtaining a hearing in Iv usual way, thee had.
therefor:, recourse to th- mode sometimes made
use of in 12 intomime : a tail board V' as brough out
desiring to know the gent'emmi's "leisure. Pa?: rs
were then handed up to me galleries, aid every pos-
sible intimation was kiven that the piece which was
so offensive to the Knights r f the I !limbic, should
be withdrawn, and that thl Farce of The
Lawyer would be substinited. This however, did
not saisfy Ship ; he had waged ex -cc 'ingly wr a r
against Mr. Duwton, censidering hum the advi.er
of this revived attack upon their cables and cacao,-
dem • Che tiniversal cry was then No Dowton
nn Dowton !" The telegraph was again set to
wark---the chalked hoard was again exhibited
—arid the gentry were informed that if it
was their pleasure, Mr. Dowrott should not play,
and Mr. ELLI4Iow would take his part.—
This offer would not do, Snip had come for a raw,
and was res.ilved not to be disappointed. The ge-
neral sig ial seemed to be a flourish cif ihe
hats :n the sir, and after it a most tremend ins
burst. It was extremely fortunate for the Pro-
p:ietors that the foe they had to deal with
was but the ninth part of a man, for had
he been but an cighth, and so well inclined or
sport, the Little T..eatre would have soon exhibited
nothing but shreds and patches. The fail was, the
sum.), stitchers only wanted a little spirit to emu-
late the lice atelnevem-nts at the Orta House,
bei•,c resolv:d to be in the fashion, cost what it
. may.

Ahout nine o'clock. the managers finding it per-
fenly impos ible to make peace, determined to carry
on a vigorous and cl,cisive war. For this purpose
some ,if the Bnw street officers was sent for, who
instantly and unexpectedly rushed into the galletie_ ,s
and laying hands on 10 or 12 of the petrified assail-
ants, earned them off quietly to St. Martin's Watch
TIIIS rencisn.re instantly restored quietness ;
except that now and then we could hear an un-
fortunate tailor pretest, that the Bow-street Offi-
cers were the cd.reirwt fellows he ever met in
the course of his life, and had nothing fine or
salmi:fine thou them. One journeyman tailor, hav-
ing measured his length upon a bench, claimed to be
a cousin of the police officer by the button hole, but
thL laver, who was as sharp as a 'Needle, denied the
relationship, and went clean hitch through his busi-
ne-s. Katbariae and Petrurhia was performed without
any appearance of ill-humour or discontent, and
every person supposed that the remainder of the
ni:_;ht was to pass in peace and quietness. Hnwever,
many esnptiries were making in the rebellious distrifts
of the house, concerning the After-piece. Some
were of opinion, that, notwithstanding the hostile
ntorcments on behalf of the tailors, and the faith,
as they termed it, of the Managers, that the detest-
ed Tragedy would be brought forward ; others
thought they would not dare to perform it ; while
Isom?, but by far the least numerous, entertained an
i.lea, that the Managers were not bound to keep it
back, as their proposals were not willingly acceded
te. They were in the greatest suspense ; and many
legs of mutton and Irartminrs were betted on the
event. 'This proceedh.g, wever, took place prin-
cipally in the middle of the Haymarket. where a
considerable crowd of well-wishers had assembled,
talking only in whispers, when a stranger appeared.
The conversation ran nearly in the same strain and
spirit among that part of the corps which was sm-
tion-d within the Theatre, and their fears were soon
realised. The curtain drew up. aid the stage exhi•
toted three tailors upon a hoard. The uproar be-
e trne universal; t:.e ladies were in the greatest ter-
tor, expeeting snrnething serious. However, in
a very short time, the Bow-street Officers made
their appearance a second rime. A feeble resistance
was made, and, eventually, five or six were dragged
nit of the house. [he piece dun proceeded, but, at
intervals, when any thing af Red the honour of the
trade, particularly of the journeymen, there was
some discontent manifested by the Enna, some of
whom were taken to fit. Martin's, while the Thaws
remained silent behind. These unseated and uncivil
inroads cooled tue courage of most of the heroes. and
several of them, unable to behold the evil which
they corn. o. cure, departed, cursing their stars
for not being more propitious.

- -
A very large party of hone patrnlle I up and
down the Haymarket the greater part of the night',
and when the enterta;nntents were over, were
drawn up brfnre the Theatre. and rem sined sn
until the crowd had dispersed. In con equence
of these interruptions, it Was nearly we o'clock be-
fore the performance was over.

BRIMITOIY: Avant 14; -

At eleven 4:elock, this morning. Earl Bascom's,
and Earl Chaves were on the Parade. Earl
Ca A yeses A d-de-Camp arriveJ, and on his speak.
ing to Earl ?tacit* if, his Lordship immedia.ely
left the Parade, and went to the Pavilion, where
Ea►l CR AVLN followed, and General Mass, and
After some conversati( n with the Palace, His Royal
Highness set off, in his hAronche And four, for Lon-
don. His Royal Highness was to dine with Viscount
Met sou one, and his intention was to proceed to
Stowe to.ttsorrnw.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cf. attsce sot oft'
in his CAI riage half an h,,ur before the Power; the
Duke of Rarer went Jitter, o'clL k. His Royal High-
-less the Duke of Sasser remains at the Pavilion, be-
ing still indisposed. The Earl and Countess of
Ida au v woe a left this at five &cluck in the after-
noon ; they were to sleep at Ryegate, and follow the
Royal Party. The Earl and Cluntes% of CLeitwowr
have been to visit the 1/1.0. of So.'s': this morning.
The troops are on the alert; every thing is in
readiness.

His Royal Highness the Prince of W•ces, who
delights in promoting the happiness of all around
him, gave a splendid party to his juvenile favourites
at 'he Pavi'inn, last evenirr : Miss SevNIOUR me-
sided. I rued not tell you that innoceoce and ele-
gance were her handmaids. The Earl of Balm E-
lyv . family, and all the other little Plobterce, were
present. Dancing was commenced with great spirit.
Mr. Wat.eoaa, joining the mer,:v daarrrg, made a
false step, and measured Iris length on the floor, to
the no small amusement of his youthful friends,
who laughed so heartily, they could be heard upoo
the Steyne. The Thea're was very full; but
tire new piece not successful, although the Ma-
nager did his part: the scenery and illuminations
were beautiful, but the music was so very sombre,
that it was mistaken for an flew,/ on the Paisce's
Aetaartme. I believe the comooset's name is
CAW•ar. I wonder the old tune of the " S eta-
mo re 1 ore" did not occur to him: the dance was ex-
tremely pretty. Mr. Mr rck Lev gave a grand din.
ner nn Tuesday; the Earl and Countess of Ci.sa-
stoke. and Mr. FULLER, %sere .)t the party. Gen.
Gee and Caplan WA RIMO are daily exptdl.l here.
