HAYMARKET THEATRE.

If I were to sit down to write the complete history of the
Haymarket squabbles, I might furnish the world with two or
three quarto volumes, printed closer, if possible, than those of
Mr. WALTER Sco•r'r. This, however, as Ido not see it would
be a very profitable, I am decidedly of opinion would not be
very useful labour. Like certain dabwate works, intended to
eXplain SHARESPEAR, they would, in all probability, lie neg-
lected on the shelf, their weight increased by collecting dust,
but making ver,y little impression on the public mind, as the
multitude would rather remain uninformed on the subject,
than submit to the drudgery of wading through such an
.exposition.

I cannot, however, make this department what it professes to
be, a complete Dramatic R^oister, without noticing the existing
differences, whenever theyostensibly affect the amusements of
the town, It becomes necessary, therefore, on the present
occasion, to give some account of what has transpired since my
last. A new Entertainment was announced for last Monday,
and public expectation was raised unusually high, by the manner
in which it was advertised. It was to be performed as

A GRAND-DRE-',S'D REHEARSAL
