Last night the excellent Comedy of Eriry Erl 4 in
his finraintr, calling forth the ishole comic strength
of the Theatte,attrieted livery crowded and fssbion-
able house. The pit appeared so full during the
first three net. of the • play, that we entertained
baugtsitte hopes the order. which reigiiel ilormg
that period, would continue throughout the night.
But the demou of half-price wee let in, mid soot'
displayed Systiploall of his evil nature. It was not.
however. till near the end of the fifth act, th.it
these perturbed spints.acquilett a sufficient ascend-
ancy to enable them to overpoacr the perform-
ances. They then put forth their strength, and
certainly appeared in greater force than they have
lately done. Encouraged by thy wise mid saw
exampleof a learned and glare Barrister, it seems
now the ophumi of the multitude, that riot and
spiracy are larful occupations, Anti that. to (moose
their destructive inroads, cud protect
property, are acts of oppression. Numbers ap-
peared, lint only iii the pit, but in the boxes, with
the letters 44 0. P." and the word... Old Prices."
iu their hats ; and 'we isifaerve4l, that 111:ir coudott
did not belie their badges, fur they were. inviseisibly
noisy, quarrelsome, and turbulent.
During the Ballet of (hear 4.12.1 .ifx/ritis, the
disturbance somewhat subsided. ,he, thee lads
have sense enough to know, cannot i,,tersupt our
vision of action ; they, therefore, chose to he more
silent, except wheu u song. or a piece
introduced. The music, indeed, seemed to, have
some effect upon them ; for, by
.0,4414 g and danc-
ing in the pit, they exhibited *wither Corps de
Ballet, in addition to that upon the stage.
Several placards were hoisted (hiring the even-
ing, and a person, from tile second tier of boxes,
showered 'down hand-bails .upon his. ;simians in
the pit. As this person mods Ititasslf very con-
spicuous, we were surpris-4 to see that he was
permitted to excite riot, through the greater part
of the night, with perfect imo)nvity. purely the
police were lint sufficiently outtbe siert, to allow
this lengthened outrsg on the public pence. The
placaids had little of novelty to their composition;
the fdlowiinc wee too most prominent:—
" Britons, be true and brave, _
Never he to Jcw or &enable, stave."
" The Devil is Nark,
So is Jack.—Old Prices."
" Never Relax"

" Rally and conquer."
" Britons shall never he subdued by viigranb."
" 0 P. and Clilfrwd fur ever."

" No bypuerisy in the garb of charity."
" Profits on On 25th, 01. us. od."

And sallower of a personal nature, too infamous
to be particularised.
At the end of the play the groan, and shouts
were enethothzed uud called for is the following
order :

Three shouts for the King.
Three groans f.r-Keinble.
Three groans her Mom warn.
Three groans hir Brandon.
Three shoats Lae (Naiad.
Three shoats for Scott.
Three shouts again for the King.
After this, two bucks, 6' hut with the Tuscan
grape," in the dress-boxes, prevailed on the re-
maining plates to join theirs in a stave of Gad save
the Kiss, which was performed a-la-made of Duttli
concert. Some penny whistles were heard during
the confusion, but uo instruments of greater sonor-
ous power were ventured to be used. Two or
three kicks-up, also, took place in the pit, but of
the nature of their origin, or termination, we are
not informed. 'Whether they were in jest, or ear..
nest—whether occasioned by internal dissension,
or the interference of the Police, they were equally
destructive to the tranquillity of the scene. Upon
the whole, this appears to have been a ,*.silying
night with the opposition; and, if such rallies tie
frequent, stronger measures must be resorted in,
to maintain the public peace, end insure the safety
of the community. The loii4er tills ferment is
allowed to t.,ro on, the more serious does the evil b- -
come ; and every well-wisher to social order and
civilisation, ought to take an active part in its es.
finction.

CHESTER, OCT. 27.

We are here all in a state of the most dreadful
disorder, owing to the opposition between the ci-
tizens and Lord Grosvenor, at the head of the Cor-
poration, in the election of $ new Mayor. The pit
Of Covent-Garden Theatre holds no comparison
with the Town Hall, as it appeared yesterday, so
great was the clamour and uproar of the mobility in
opposition to the nobility. They tore down the
culprit's bar, the benches round the court table,
&c. In short, I never beheld such a scene. It con-
tinued with increased violence until the period for
transacting business expired, and the Court ad-
journed to nine o'clock this day, when the business
respecting the Mayo %was di.poscd of, by putting
up Mr. Evans, his•Lordihip's choice, and Mr. Sel-
ler the popular candidate. Mr. Evans was elected
bi a majority of the Corporate Body. The elec.
ti Mn of Sheriff. which does not rest with the Corpo-
ration, is strongly contested ;an the one side, how-
ever, only by canvassing, and witimut much system;
but his Lordship's friends have opened sixty-right
public-houses, giving away thousands of ribbons.—
Five or six hundred of that side parade the streets,
and completely overpower the independent free-
men. The shops round the Exchange, and in
North Gate-street, have been shot all the day,
though market-day. It is to be feared that the bu-
siness may end iii mischief. What is most singit-
lar in all this is, that these proceedings should be
carried on ender the pretence of supporting the in-
terests of a respectable Nobleman, who once
brought a Bill into Parliament to prevent treating
at elections.

Joattet.—Diariug the rejoicings at Searbo-
I rough. a maid-pervant, who thought there was a
want of illumination, set tire to a bed in a Gen-
tletnan's house, where a large party, with the Par-
son of the parish, were at supper. Engines were
brought to the spot,and, before the compsuy could
devour the good things set before them, the sup-
per was so much deteriOrated by the water engines,
that even rite Par.on was obliged to give in, (13
finding w der was no improvement to cookery.
