THEATRICAL RIOT.

DtTI3LIN,- DEC. 17.—A scene of disorder and tu-
mult took at the Theatre last night, almps- as lin-
- paralleled as 'the tempest of the moroing. The
Forest of Bondi, or the Dog of Montar„gis, was-the
Afterpiece, which had been givers out for repre-
sentation, but in consequence of some misun-
derstanding between the Patentee- and the rro-
prietor of the canine performer in the piece;
as to the terms on which the service of the
Dog were to be had, the Atterpieee -did not
go forward, and The Militr and his Men, a
piece of the same class, was substituted. Thu:
audience, it seems, had not been sufficiently
apprised of the change, and would not subunit to
the disappointment ; and disapprobation, in very
loud terms, and at last so strongly as completely,
to obstruct the performance of the adopted Melo-
drarne. Sonic of the performers came forward
to-address the audience while the After-piece was
in progress, but they would not be listened to—
they were obliged to retire, and their appear-
ance became at length a matter of some peril, as
they were assailed with every missile thing that
the Gallery, and ultimately the Pit, could seize
upon. The Stage Manager, Mr. flocx, came
forward after a considerable time, with an as-
pect' of great apprehension, and he shared the.
fate of the others who had attempted to obtain
attention. After several efforts to go through
with the piece, without a chance of success, the
curtain dropped ; and from that time until the
House was cleared by the interposition of the
Sheriffs, accompanied by constables and military,
every mischief that could be accomplished was in-
flicted on the property, by tearing up the seats of
the gallery, and throwing them at the lamps,
which were, with very little exception, broken to
pieces ; and on the stage, and into the orchestra,
which, however, escaped with much less injury
perted. Pieces of timber
than might have been ex
were also (lung at the performers, and in, different
directions. It was a command night, and his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and the Duchess
of DonsET, with their suite, were in the Theatre.
Notwithstanding the presence of these exalted
personages, who may be expected to exact some
deference, the clamour to reject the substituted
After-piece prevailed,•.without any dincinution,
and his Excellency, and her Grace, after no small
exercise of condescension and patience, quitted.
the Theatre. The most tumultuous part of the
scene occurred after their departure—a large re•
fleeting glass, forming a pannel of the Vice-regal,
box, was broken by something thrown trorn the
pit or gallery. On the whole, the injury done
thjs turbulent ebullition of resentment,
was to a. very serious extent. Some persons were
taken into custody by the Sheriffs, against whom
it was alleged that they had bee-, engaged in the.
commission of mischief.

SUN-OFFICE, Two o'CiocK.

We have already stopped the press to notice
the sensation produced in the City within the last

half hour. We are indebted to`sourees of informa-

tion upon which we rely with great confidence for
the following intelligence,which we believe will ac-

count in great measure for the vibrations 'of that

political pendulum—the Public Funds.

We have Letters from Ghcnt of so recent a

date. as Saturday last, the l7th; three days later
than any which have yet been laid before the

Public. They assure us THAT THE NEGP:
CIATIONS HAVE TAILED; THAT 1T HAS

BEEN FOUND IMPOSSIBLE TO RECONCILE TUE

CONFLICTING PRETENSIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN

AND AMERICA ; AND THAT CaNSECLUENTLY THE

WAIT MUST CONTINUE.

Of course, we think the return of onr Commis-

sioners may be anticipated by the Pub

our letters distantly allude to a proposition

being under discussion, which may retard this

event for a. short __period, or may cause some

modification to be made. We are not perfectly

informed upon thi§.part of our subject, but are
confident, from the terms used, that the point

alluded to one of minor and ulterior considera-

tion, and in no- way affects the great question of

Peace or War.

The CONTINUANCE of the WAR is CERTAIN.

THIRD EDITION.

We had scarcely put our SECOND EDITION, to

Press, when we received the following itop'ortant

information from VIENNA

htts been a great coolness between the

Emperor ALEXANDER and Lord CASTLELIEAGFI ;
So !With so that for several (13ys the former (lid

not see the latter. The subject of disagree-

inert is Polaitd, which it is understood the

Itusian Monarch will in no way give up for any

other arrangement tt:an that of being placed wader
a Russian Viceroy. This, be declares, is his

ultithatunt—his Minister, Count NESSELRODZ,

will not treat upon it, but refers the other

nistcrs to his Master, who will not listen to

any representations concerning this, with him,

determined point.

It is further stated, that a

new.ltussiim army of 80,000 men. has been orga-

nixed to give force to this resolution.---Prussia

and Russia ggree perfectly in their views..

So far.from the Emperor ALEXANDEr. leaving

Vienna, he has openly declared that he will not
quit it till every thing is arranged to his satis-
faction.

We need not now wonder tliat our Cabinet has

been busy.

The Governor-General .in Council at Calcutta
has, by order of March. the sth, 1814, directed,
that schools be immediately established in the ar-
tillery corps, horse and foot, and in the European
regiments. Forty men at a time, of the horse
artillery are to he taught at Meerut; 100 of the
foot artillery at Duni Duet, until the whole corps
be instructed. 'the sedeants and men who attend
the schools, and the attendance is to be volun-
tary, are to be put under 'stoppages—the serjcants
ss. Bd. each, to 4s. per quarter; and the privates
2s 10;1. to 23. 4cl. each per month.
Yesterday being St. Thomas's Day, Wardmotes
were held in the City of London, for the election
of Common Councilmen, and other Officers, for
the ensuing year. At-the Wardmote for Candle-
wick, the Loar MAYOR presided ; his Lordship
also presided in 'lower Ward,. for Sir WILLIAM
CURTIS. At several of the meetings, •strong re-
solutions were passed against the continuance of
the Property Tax after April next ; and .some of
them have appointed Committees to prepare Pe-
titions to Parliament on this subject. The altera-
tion in the Common Council is verp. little; there
are only three 'Wards wherein a poll is opened.'
The remains of the Marquis of. BUTE,7who
died lately at Geneva, were' brought to Calais on
the 7th instant, in order to be embarked. Next
day the Earl of DUMFRIES arrived, and the body
was embarked for this country.

A timber ship was driven on the North Bull,
and we fear thy disasters sustained on our coast
and other places, will prove it one of the greatest
hurricanes experienced here for many years.—
