The 0. P.'s dined yesterday at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern,'ptirsuant to a previbusTad#Vertise-,
merit. The- dinner was served up at five o'clock,
sumpftioos both 'in quantity and quality, with as
mach variety as any tetuperi..e epicore would wish..
On the doors being opened, the company crowded`
in, the most respectable we have seen at any public
dinner for some titne,„• and mostly -consisting of
.
-young men. Above• three hundred and fifty coVers
were provided; but above four hundred dined in all,
exclusively of ai-considerable number who came in
after dinner. The company being seated, Mr.,
Cliffordmith a,feW friends; entered the room,'amidst
loud cheers, and took the chair.' ' The cloth having
been removed, the C.hairrnan proposc.d, as the first
toast,: " The. -King," which was drank with three
times three.
ChipPottp then stated to the company, that,
in consequence of-having-been appointed Chairman
on this occasion, he had received a message froth
-Mr. Kemble in- the morning,' which message had
terwards produced, an interview, in 'which me:
Kemble had. 'communicated his desire to conciliate
the Public, and that-he 'would be glad 'to -apPear in
-the company, and state to them theiwisheS of the
Managers, and their dispositions teconciliate; were
he 'sure that he would not be treated uncivilly. He
(the Chairman) had stated'to ;Mr. Kemble, that
he had no authority, On the part of the Meeting, to
enter into any engagements, but this much he could
say, that he Would communicate to the Mooting the
wishes of Mr. Kemble, and iLhe fourid the 'Meet7
ing _of a temper not likely to receive'him in a gen-,
tlemanly manner, he would niost, certainly not allow
.hitn.to come into the room.. He 'had 'therefore..
pledged his word, that Mr. Kemble shohld not be
admitted into, the room Unless he was to Meet with
resped.• In consequence of this communication,
Kemble was now, in the house, and if it- was
their pleasure 'to hear him, and to receive him ami-
cably, he was ready to come in imrnediately.—
(Loud clthers.)—l have no doubt then that .these,
"plaudits are an assurance tram you that you. will
treat him in a' becoming manner, and that I shall
do my duty, as Chairman, if fassure him that lie
shall meet with all incivility; •
The last word being evidently an unintentional
mistake, the whole room corrected the error, and
cried out, " the utmo,t
Met6es. Pow ELL and HARRIS, and some others,
then went Out,and*on their' return ushered
terrible. 'The room received, him standing, and
with the loudest cheers ot approbation. He took
his •seat'on the right-dt the chair.
Mr.CLoFoub thenstated, that before Mr. Kemble
made his appearance in the room, he had bad she
honour ,of stating that an interview had taken place
be,ween Mr. Kemble and hint in tae morning. He
had not wished, however, to state the particularsmt
• .thi4t conversation tillMr.•Keunble was present. Mr:
Kemble being now present, he would take the libel--
ty of 4,tatmg the conversation. Mr.,Kemble.expreSS.
ed to him, that hesincerely lamented the, mi-under-
standing that had taken place between the Man,zers
and the Public, and the reason that the -Proptittots
,• had not-sooner. attempted to have this difference
adjusted vas, that they did not know the proper per-
. sons to wh-rut the were to address themselves. Now,
however, that the Opposition were iodine
the Proprietors and Managers had thought it expe-_
dient• to have .some tormuunication on the subject,
and to restore, if possible, that good bilderSlandiog
th it had always prevailed be. ween the Public and
C,,vent--Garden Theatre. Mr. ,Kemble had told
bith, at tne same time, th t it was the wish of the
M:-tna:;ers do es cry- thing to satisfy the public, -with-
out injuring thy property of the 'Proprietors, alld re-
quested hurt to arrange minx plan that might prove
s.it'slactory, to all larties.
,Tnough he concetyvel„
bo,,eoa, the Wtguage and manner of Mr. Kemble
in the highet tleree conciliatory, he had told him,
that though t.alle:t by so, Ile the. leader.of a mob, he
%wild no; pretend to dictate to the Met wig. Mr.'
Keturbie observed, that lowering the prices would
cctisb Is a.- injurious to the Proprietors, but.they
w 'tole(' to know what would satisty the Public? To
which he had answered; that ii was not so much the
tai ingot the prices that had given offence, as the
reading of 'he Riot Aa, a .d sending in the con-
stabies to insuir the audience. Mr. Ke;ithle. 'said,
that' the Magistrates had come in ot thentselveSiaed
gone on the stage, unknown to the Mau'iters, and
that he, tot his own part, did not know 01 the pro-
ceeding till the next tuOtting wleti he react it in the
newspapers. person of respectability.state(t
'any tact, he was aiways disposed to believe 'it, vole s
there was sonic strong evidence to thacontrary he
• had therefore no doubt that what Mr. Kemble had
stattd was true. Mr. Kemble asked hint what, would
be saiistadory, as the Managers bad no wish to pro-
long th_ untoriunate dtspute any twitter? .I.'o this he
renlied, that the Private Boxes were particularly ob
nOxious, and that the ot them would go a
great way, he believed, to satisfy the Ptiblic. Mr.
.Kemble a,ked if the saute number as formerly .vould
tin ? this question he was not bold enough 'to
take upon himself to give an explicit answer. It
would he for the company now present, .10 declare.
their opinion, and he promised to state tot hem tare
.circuinsiance, adding, that such a propoSitiOn would
meet his recoohnendinion. Mr. .K..inble
wired him, that it .was the tint ,!eire of •I he Mana-
gers to sati,ly the Public, and, it l (is )ie.,they would'
cntne into any toms they should pro use.. Ede .had.
thus faithfully, he said, detailed the conversation.,
and he had only one truing to add,, that it, was the
charader ot Englishmen,. when they obiztined a s tc-
tory, to use it moderately. He recollected ah_ex7

Pit sheuld be three shillings and sixpence, as 'for-
merly : that the row of Private Boxes shbuld be open
as formerly in the old Theatre; and, on account' Of
his eentscondutt to the Public, that 'lr. Brandon
'should' be dis Missed. They would agree that the ad-,
mission to the Boxes should be seven shillings ; but
for this liberality •on the part' Of the Public, they
would exped -an apology to be made by the Ma--
'lagers for insulting and offending the Public at large.
The Chairman tlien gave as a toast, " The liberty
of the subje6l," which was drank standing, With re-
peated cheers, end followed
_by three times .three..
Mr.CeleFoan then rose and stated, that he.waa.de-

lic,that fieeVas authorized to aecede to everything that
