DRURY LANE THEATRE.

Wednesday a meeting of the Proprietors waa held at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern to consider a proposition fnr let-
ting Drury•lane Theatre, to a proper person, on ad vautageous
terms.

Mr. Whitbread having taken the chair, stated the object
of the Meeting. and concluded by proposing. " It is expedi-
ent that the Theatre be let at the conclusion of the present
season."

Mr. Kinnaird, in a long address to the subscribers, depre-
cated any attempt to let the Theatre, and contended it ought
not to be an object of sordid speculation. The Hon. Gen-
tleman adverting to a change in the mana,2etneot, stated, !hat
he was authorized to name a Noble Lord as witlioc4 t, be one
of the Committee. The talent and fire t genius ~f Lord
Byron made him peculiarly fit fi,r the conce , a.;d n . doubt
could be entertained by the subscribers that tl.e
of the Noble Lord would he a tower of strength. With res-
pect to the other Members of the Committee, he w-uld not
shrink himself from the task, if the propi ietors appointed him.
He considered their Hon Chairman the Hercules of the
concern ; yet he was persuaded if that Honourable Gentleman
withdrew from the management, others might be found to
act equally for the interest of the concern. •
Mr. Whitbread highly approved of Lord Byron ; and on
the removal of the present Committee, he conceived that
Lord Byron, Mr. Kinnaird, and Mr. P. Moore, would con-
stitute three as able persons as could be procured. The
Subscribers would only have to select two others to make up
the five.

Mr•. P. Moore stated, that previous to the fire at Drury-
lane, a liberal offer was made by Mr. Jones, the Duhlik
Manager, to take the Theatre, but it was then refused. If
was not let then to Mr. Jones, why should it be let now The
Bon. Gentleman was for changing the management.

Sir T. Turton urged the necessity of letting the Theatre,
as it would afford an opportunity of gratifying the public;
taste by the introduction of quadrupeds, or such amusement.;
of that nature as would meet the wishes of the town.

Mr. Perry strongly depiccated any management that could'
change the legitimate drama, as a proceeding contrary to
good order a►►d the morals of society which the Subscribers
were hound to preserve in their dramatic representations.
Mr. Robins urged some very forcible arguments in favour
of letting the concern.
The question for letting the Theatre was then put ant!
