eagerly pressed him---and he, though reluctantly,
at last complied with their earnest wishes. He ne
sooner set down. with the crowd around Isiah than
he said, •• Gentkiners, I have new taken the Chair

any Gentleman bass. however, any thing to propose,
am ready to hear him."
Mr. Meyler opened the business or the meeting,
and he was followed by • Gentleman, whose name
we could not learn. He spoke at considerable
length. and several other *perches were also deli-
'bed. A series of Resolutions was proposed, and
ultimately adopted, attributing the decline of the
Irish Stage to mismanagement. end the evils of an
exclusive Patent—declaring that the present Pa-
tentee has violated his pledge, publicly given isi
the tear 1815, in withdrawing from the direction of
the Theatre • suggesting the espedieucy of a Pe-
tition to the Government against the renewal of the
Patent, at least without modifications and restric-
tions ; deprecatinK in the strongest terms all man-

inquire into the abuses of the Irish Stage.—
On the find Resolution being proposed. Mr. At-

formation in • future meeting, where such 11190•

mote the character and respectability of the Irish

This moderate proposal was, however, overruled
by a large majority, and the Chairman was re-
quested to put the Resolutions, which be did, and
they were carried seriatim.
The hour growing late, and the two first Resole.

dulgence of the company to retire. as hr was

THE THEATRE.

The beautiful :tiTeraOfLoos- in a Pillage was
very well performed at Crow-street on Satunisy
night. The part of &sena was filled by Miss
Kelly, and though she was evidently very unwell.
even from the commencement of the piece, and
though the character offered noose of those imports-
*Wet of depicting powerful pesistis of which she
knows so well how to avail herself. yet her sweet
and cultivated voice, her natural and inuiffeeted act.
lug, and her easy and graceful manner, enabled her
to acquit herself highly to the satisfaction of the
audience. In her song ofµ Hose Blest the Mad,"
there was a richness, • fluency, and melodiousness
quite delightful. Mr. Horst made a respectable
Tow Meadows, and gave some of the songs remark-
ably well. His own very pretty composition," The
ray that beans for even" was encored. Fallacies
Justice Woodcock was u est:client as ever. It is
an unrivalled piece of acting—absolutely one of
those few performances to which one cannot de-
sire to add any thing. The dance in the statute
fair scene lost the greater part of its effect by the
absence of paw Good. His substitute was heartily
hissed. The Munger has adopted oar idea—or,
what is just as good, acted upon a similar one of his
own—resisectiug the employment of the dancers.
A Ballet, embracing all the ability of the company.
which, is this department, is very considerable, was
predated after the opera. It is too long, and the
pantomimic part especially is tedious and heavy ;
but these are defects which can easily be remedied.
The leak is remarkably pretty.
The after-piece was The Maid and Magpie. in
which Miss Kelly. as dowse, is se famous. She
exerted herself much. and was, as wad. eminently
saccesefal. When Mr. Fatten made his appear-
anew, there masseuse clamour in the galleries, and
be imuseifistely bowed, and requested to know the
pleasure of the audience. There was then a gene-
ral cry of "Go an with the entertainment." After
a short lowers!, however, the clamour was renew.
ed. sod with se much augmentation, as to drown
the voices of the peewits's', completely. A song of
Miss Kelly's was wholly lost ; and when she saw no
Iskels;mo,l of martin oyster, she made an effort to
the au•limice. Every disposition to hear
her was instantly manifested. Site said that she
had came to the Theatre to fulfil her engagement
with the public that evening. suffering under very
serious indisposition—indisposition indeed so great,
that nothing but her deep sense of gratitude for the
eatrsonlinary kindness and liberality she had ex-
perienced since her arrival iii this country, could
time induced her to attempt perforsiiiug at all. Iu
this situation, she said. it was apparent that under
she mom favourable circunestsuces she would be SH

able to exercise any powers she might possess, for
the entertainment of the pertain she bud the honour
fir addressing ; but - and she burst into tears.
A pest of epplauwe followed, and the piece pro-
ceeded to the close, without the sanallest further
niterruptiou.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.
A cticutustdi et: of • peculiarly disagreeable

manic has &marred in the neighlniurlii.orl of this
city, which has plsusged several respectable
lies into deep &areas. Mr. S. F. a young Gen-
tleman of this city, was on Sunday on a Oat at the
house of Mrs. M. a few miles from town. On the
night of that day this Lady's house was entered
by a numbe4 of men, who had a post-chaise at the
door, and who carried off Miss U. M. Mrs. M.'s
youngest daughter, in concert with the above young
gentlemen. The chaise was soon afterwards over-
set, and the parties left it. On the alarm being given
in this city, they were pursued, but no tidings were
heard of them until yesterday, when they were di..
covered, by private information, at a lodging-house
in John-street. The young lady was itumedietely
conducted to the heave of her afflicted mother in
Patrick-street, end the young gentleman was com-
mitted to gaol. Mrs. M. we u► derstand. was very
rudely assaulted-, in ehtleavouring to prevent the
removal of her daughter, concerning which she has
sworn informations before the Mayor.--(Alikerstry

business, walked with her iron and arm, a distance
of four mile.. to this city. the country was scoured
in all directions, but no trace of the fugitives could
be obtained omit Monday last. when they were die.

The Bill now pending in the House of Commons,
for regulating the election of Members to serve iii
Parliament, authorises Justices of the Peace to up.
point what number of pulling places, or booths, 611411
be erected in the event of a contested election, so
that not more than 1,000 voters shall lie pulled at
any one place. These booths shall each have mpg.
rate avenues. For the purpose of expediting the
election, the Bill also provides that the poll shall
close on the second day after its commencement,
unless it shall appear that 400 voters in the whole
shell have been polled, and that the poll shall close
on the thi►d or any aubstripient day, if it shall ap-
pear that 400 voters shall not hare been polled dur-
ing such day. And to prevent expense and dis.
turbance, no Candidate shall, either by himself
o► his agent, directly or indirectly distribute, or
allow any persons to wear or carry any cockades,
ribbed'', or other mark of distinction under pain of
being disabled from ever serving in Parliament for
the place where such marks of distinction shall
have been worn. Persons are entitled to vote
although not assessed lo the land-tax. The return-
ing pacer may proclaim a Candidate duly elected,
although a poll may have been demanded against
another; and in case of a Candidate dying dur-
ing the election, persons who had voted for him,
are entitled to give their votes over spin on the
same election.
