The Court broke up about six o'clock.

The following letter appeared this day in a
Morning Paper, and we insert it in justice to the
Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, to afford
them an opportunity of Contradicting what we
conceive to be the result of private malevolence,
or of giving a satisfactory explanation of the
statement, if founded in truth :

TO THE EDITOR.
SlR—The public will be much surprised to hear that almost
all the principal performers at Covent-Garden have declined to
continue their engagements ; and the frequenters of
.the play-
house are next season to be_dEprived of the pleasure they have
experienced for several years in witnessing the exertion of the
talents of Mr. YOUNG, Mr. MACREADY, and Mr. Lin. orr ;
and in listening to the sweet notes of Miss STEPHENS, the
powers of whose voice have probably' contributed to swell the
receipts of the house more than all the rest of the Company
put together. I am, Sir, &c.

DRAIVIATICUS.

Mrs. BUNN performed Queen Elizabeth in the
new play of _Kenilworth, for the first time, at the
Edinburgh Theatre, on Tuesday last, to a
crowded house, with complete success.
Vauxhall Gardens last night, notwithstanding
the unfavourable state of the morning, was well
attended. The company were by no means
scanty, as anticipated to a degree which war-
ranted the ,Proprietors to announce, by large
placards posted around the entrances, that they
were fearful of being under the necessity of cur-
tailing the accustomed amusements of the even-
ing, viz. rope-dancing, fireworks, and, if rainy,
the Orchestra would be stationed in the Rotunda;
but as the evening turned out more favourable
than the morning, the Proprietors, alive to the
pleasure of their visitors, and highly creditable
to their liberality, gave their grand treat without
any curtailment or alteration.
