SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

at the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, -Edinburgh.
Aro, _

Mr. Codrington, M.P., is fast recovering from
his recent indisposition, which has confined him for several
day's to his bed.

-The Staffordshire Examiner denies the rumour
in circulation respecting the resignation by Colonel Auson
of South Staffordshire for Lichfield.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.
SIR,—You have been pleased to draw your conclusions
upon false premises. As I did not originate the corre-
spondence with Mr. Bunn I have a right to expect, in
common courtesy (for I ask no favour) the insertion of
the following facts, and then take leave of the subject. In
a controversy with a chimney.sweep, I ought to have re-
membered the old adage, " It is not easy to avoid a little
of his dirt." My character, however, can afford to bear
the attack of such a man as the " fallen Bunn." The head
and front of my offending is simply this :
I attended a General Meeting of the Proprietors of Drury-
lane Theatre, and I am sorry to say that I represented, in
my own person, at least 60 shares, in that devoted concern,
the value of which is reduced from 6,0001., the original
cost, to about as many shillings. The Report of the Sub-
Committee illumined me for the first time in respect toMr.
Bunn's defalcation, for although it had been whispered ho
was a defaulter, I had no idea things were so lamentably
bad, or the amount of the debt half so much as I disco-
vered, by my direct questions to the Chairman. By this
means the " secrets of the prison-house" came out unex-
pectedly, and for the first time the Proprietors learnt what
an estimable lessee had been vouchsafed to them for three
long years. On learning our sad fate, I stated what I now
repeat, that Mr. Bunn had disgraced the boards of Drury-
lane Theatre, by converting it into a bear-garden ; that he
has subsequently dishonoured it by causing it to be desig-
nated the shilling theatre; that he has only paid 6,0001.
instead of 18,0001. for rent during three seasons, while his
respectable rival has placed in Covent garden Treasury
22,0001. during the same period. This much I said at
the meeting. Before I proceed to finish the frigul
portraiture I would point out the splendid contrast at
is presented by Mr. Macready. During his lessee-
sbip he has honourably fulfilled all his engagements
with the proprietors and his company, and he has accom-
plished this by reviving all the finest productions of our
immortal Bard, and pursuing with an undeviating course
the legitimate Drama. To conclude, I have to add that
in this the last year of his outrage on common decency he
has not paid 1,4001. altogether ; he has left no redeem-
ing virtue to solace the proprietors in the shape of money
in return for the violence committed on the Drama on
Drury-lane boards; besides this, he has left his company
in the lurch, paid to his actors half their salaries for this and
the two last seasons, and he has closed Drury-lane Theatre
in the very heart of the season, dismissing his company
without money, with an immense load of debt, and no hope
to console them. Further this deponent sayeth not, at pre-
sent, but if it be provoked, be it remembered, " worse re-
mains behind."--I have the honour to be, your obedient
servant, GEORGE ROBINS.
Covent-garden, Aug. 1, 1839.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
The Times paper, consistent with its usual impartiality,
has been so good as to indulge its readers with the poison
elicited by Mr. Bunn, without vouchsafing to me the
means of giving its antidote. lam necessitated therefore
to ask of you the favour to insert an explanation of his im-
pertinent statement, promising you not to trouble your
readers or myself with any further notice of the late lessee
Facts are stubborn things, and with this brief statement,
I have the honour to be, your obliged bumble servant,
GEORGE ROBINS.
