THE HUNGARIAN DIET.

Pnxsunnott, SEPT. 30.—Tt was in the sitting of the Diet,
on the 26th inst. that the Chamber of Deputies resolved unani-
mously to give letters of naturalisation, free of expence, to
Prince Metternich, from a thorough conviction of the numerous
and eminent services which he has rendered, not only to the
Austrian Monarchy, and particularly to the kingdom of Hun-
gary, but to all Europe. The same honour was conferred on
the Bavarian Ambassador, Baron Stainlein, out of regard for
the Empress, as well as for the high character of the Baron
himself, who is connected by marriage with some of the first
families in the country. These two resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by, the Chamber of the Magnates.
In the same sitting, it was resolved, according to a very an-
cient custom, to fix at 50,000 ducats the coronation present to
her Majesty the Empress, which the body of the Nobility of
the kingdom has taken on itself to pay.
On the 27th there was a grand review at Kitsee of part of the
troops that have been here during the coronation. His Ma-
jesty the Emperor was present, accompanied by the Crown
Prince, the Archdukes Francis, Charles, and Maximilian, and
the Duke of Bejs (Prince Michael of Portugal), The troops
were commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand' General-in-
Chief in Hungary. The Archdukes Charles and Lewis left us
on the 28th, to return to Vienna.

STMAAI NAVIGATION OF TILE RIIINE.—The
Grand'Duke of HADEN has granted letters patent for the foun.
dation of a " Baden Association for Navigation by Steam, to
Baron Cotta, (if Stuttgardt, Mr. Church, American Consul,
and Mr. Rissling, merchant at Rastadt. The preamble ob-
serves that though the advantages of steam boats are evident,
it must be manifest that several inconveniences will arise from
the introduction of it, such as are inseparable from every new
invention, the progress of which cannot be arrested, ar which
materially affects the interests of older establishments. Thus
boatmen on the Rhine must be sufferers by the introduction of
'steam boats. To remedy this, the new Company is bound to
offer one-third of the shares to the Baden boatmen on the
Rhine, and likewise to employ them on board the steam boats
fn preference to strangers.

GROWTH OF WOOL IN RUSSIA.

The Frankfort Papers contain the following information rela-
tive to the endeavours now making in Russia to improve the
breed of sheep in that empire :
" ST. PETE RSI 3 I:11CH, SEPT. 24.—Mr. Speck, of Leipsic,
well known for his skill in agriculture, and especially for his
knowledge of the best manner of managing sheep, has just set
out for Moscow and Saraloff, whence he will go to the provinces
in the Black Sea. Mr. Friegang, Counsellor of State, accom-
panies him in his journey, the object of which is the ameliora-
tion of the breed of sheep, and the improvement of the wool.—
It is hoped that the result of his journey will be, to convince
the landowners of the importance of this improvement. This
conviction has already become general at Saint Petersbnrgh,
where a great many of the first persons in the empire, and of
respectable landowners, take great interest in it. There is no
doubt that the breed of the sheep may be brought to the highest
perfection, not only in our southern governments, which are so
rich in pastures, but also in the northern provinces, where the
population is mote numerous, and we may even expect to see
the latter furnish the best wool.

A. considerable flock of sheep of the best races is now forming
in the Baltic provinces, and it seems that his Excellency the
Minister of the Interior intends to form a similar establish-
ment on the lands belonging to the Crown in the Government
of Saraloff; this latter establishment would become a school,
not only for the neighbouring Governments, but for the adja-
cent Steppes where no attention has hitherto been paid to this
subject. This useful branch of agricultural industry might
thus be extended to New Russia,. where the foundation is al-
ready laid, and where it only requires improvement, and in
the Steppes to the east, while by means of small flocks it might
be earned to the highest degree of perfection in the Baltic pro-
vinces. _ _

Though a long period will be required to attain this object,
the demand for wool will become in the interval more cunsi.
derable, and our manufactories will be more flourishing. The
freedom of exportation will always procure our wools a ready
market, without injuring the trade of the other nations, and
will make up for the diminution in the exportation of grain.
Our wool fairs begin to be established, and 'the public takes an
interest in them.

WENTWORTH'S BANK.

(From the Leeds Inde pendent.)
The suspence of the Public, and particularly
the holders of notes, as to the fate of this esta-
blishment, will now, in a great degree, be dissi-
pated. The following melancholy intelligence,
which reached us last evening,- and which had
been published as a Circular by the Firm, at
York, will be read with much concern

" :Messrs. Wentworth and Co. haring, for several days, de-
" voted themselves to the examination of their affairs, and
" having in vain used every possiblo,
.exertion to procure in
" the present state of the Money Market, a sufficiency to
" meet the immediate calls upon their Firms, are under the
" painful necessity of stating to the Public, their conviction
" of THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO CARRY ON THEIR RESPEC-
" TITS ESTABLISIIMENTS.--11eSSIS. Wentworth and Co.,
" trusting to the Candour and Liberality of the Public, under
these most distressing circumstances, confidently hope that
" their determination will prove the most beneficial measure
" to the General Interest of their Creditors."

This publication we fear will spread consternation throtrgh-
out the county. The suspension of its payments by the Bank
in the first instance occasioned much individual loss ; the
holders of its notes were anxious to rid themselves of a useless
commodity, and in the moment of panic made great sacrifices
on the amount of their various sums. But subseuent events
had somewhat restored that confidence in the solfFncy of the
house which had previously existed ; and in Leeds and other
places, on Friday, Saturday, and yesterday, the Wakefield
notes were received by many persons en the sale of goods at
nearly their nominal value. The traffic in this paper which a
few days before had been extensively going on had greatly
abated ; and as far as we have heard purchases could only be
made at about ills. or lUs. foreach IL note. To persons, there-
fore, who have been speculating largely, by buying up these
notes, the above intelligence will be far from agreeable. We
still h*, that when the whole affairs of Messrs. Wentworth
and Co.'s large establklmnent shall have been fully investigat-
ed, the immediate less of that part of the public who possess
their paper will not be extreme. The whole country, however,
must severely feel the effects arising out of the failure of Went-
worth's house, since it must occasion a fearful void in the
quantity of that currency by which the tnoney-transactions of
this district has usually been conducted.

THE THEATRES.

DaurtY-LAN.—The return of Mr. LISTON to
this Theatre last night, as might he expected,
naturally attracted a very crowded house. As
soon as this popular actor appeared he was
greeted with great applause, and the audience
seemed disposed to display a more than usual
testimony of welcome on account of his recent
and alarming inne3s. lie fully requited them by
Hs admirable performance of Matzzeorm, in the
Comedy of The libpocrite, and his denunciation
from his pulpit-skreen, as usual, was encored.
DowToN was not less zealous to give a complete
finish to the performance of Cantwell, and artful
hypocrisy was perhaps never adopted with subtle
success in real life. The only change in the
performance was the transfer of the part of
Charlotte to Airs. DAvlsoN, who supported it
with gaiety, humour, and effect. The Farce of
Love, Law, and Physic, again presented LtsToN
to the audience in Lubin Log, and again grati-
fied them with the persuasion that he is rein-
stated
in health.

COVENT-GARDEN —The Opera of The Duenna,
a drama that has never been succeeded by any
thing that will bear a comparison with the va-
riety of its characters, the spirit of its dialogue,
the humour of its situation, and its poetical me-
rits, was represented last night before a nu-
merous audience.—Miss PATON sun; and acted
admirably in Clara, and Madame VESTRIS, in
Carlos, gave as strong an interest to the character
as it admitted, and introduced a new Song, en-
titled " Happy Land Spain," a composition of
Mr. \VEST, of the Haymarket Theatre, which
was much applauded. He 'seems to be rising
fast in the musical world. The rest of the cha-
racters have been so often performed by the same
performers as not to call for particular notice.
A good house.

The papers from Port-au-Prince to the 9th of
October mention the death of Mademoiselle CELIE PETioN,
daughter of the late President of Hayti, in the 20th year of her
age. Her loss has caused much sorrow to the inhabitants of
Hayti, and would be severely felt by the poor, to whom she de-
voted the greater part of her income.

GoLTV.—`!'he issue of half sovereigns this week
at the Bank of England has been enormous,
many thousands have got into circulation, and if
not withdrawn, will become a very convenient
species of change.

CITY EXTRAORDINARIES.—Yesterday two
large turtles, weighing above 400 lbs. each, were
offered for sale at the different emporiums for
Gourmonds in the City, but, owing to the ab-
sence of a certain Civic Knight, no sale could be
effected !

Fl R E.-At a quarter before three this morning
a fire broke out at the house of Mr. Glz3rl,, linen_
draper, Wardour.street, Soho. The flames soon
spread to the houses of Mr. MITCHELL, carpenter,
and Mr. WINTER, broker, and also to the
house of Mr. EVANS, lathe and tool maker. The
whole of these houses are entirely consumed.--
The walls fell down about nine o'clock, with a
terrible crash; but we are happy to state that no
lives were lost.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 13.—0 n the 6th of this
month a fatal accident took place at Nienburg,
in the Duchy of Anholt. The citizens had re-
solved, on a visit of the Duke and Duchess, to
illuminate the new suspension bridge. At eight
o'clock, with a numerous band of music, they
went to.the bridge with torches : half the bridge
sunk into ,the river (the Saale), and at. half-past
eight o'clock, with all the people on it, and was
carried down the stream. The Duke immediately
;vent to the spot to direct the means of saving
those persons who were on- the bridge at .the
mercy of the waves. Of 6or 700 persons who
were in this alarming situation, about 30.. hale
not been found.—The Borsenhall List has the
following account : •
" BERLIN, DEC. 12.—Laters froth Kalbe on the Sattle
say, that of the persons who perished-by the breaking of the
bridge of Nienburg, 86 dead bodies bad been taken out or the
river up to the 7th in the evening ; seven had died of the in-
juries they had received, and the number of wounded was 41.
A dreadful loss for a place containing only 200 houses."

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

It appearS by the following Extract from a Baltimore Paper
that England is not the only country in. which Cruelty to Ani-
mals is punishable under the specific enactment of a positive
law.

(For the Anterwart.)
The humane law of the Legislature, passed a few years
since, to protect animals from the wanton abuse committed on
them by their owners and others having the charge of them,
has had a very beneficial effect in the general; but some late
instances occurring to the contrary, has rendered it necessary
that the said law should be republished for the information of
all those concerned. It is as follows :

" And be it enacted, That if any person or persons shall wil-
fully cause or procure any Null-baiting, cock-fighting, or the
fighting of dogs within the city of Baltimore, or shall wilfully
or wickedly cripple or commit acts of cruelty upon animals in
the city aforesaid, or any of the streets, lanes or alleys thereof;
every such person, and those aiding therein, shall be liable to
prosecution and punishment in Baltimore County Court, as for
other misdemeanors, or at the election of the accused the matter
may be tried before either of the Judges of said Court, and,
upon conviction, punished as aforesaid—and if the offence be
committed by a slave, the Court or Judge before whom it shall
be tried, may, in lieu of other
_punishments, order that of whip-
ping, not exceeding 39 stripes.
" True copy from the original.
" Louis GassAwAx, Cik, Ho. Del."

Officers of the Corporation, and others interested in the wel-
fare and good order of thvity, will render essential service to
the community, by endeavouring to enforce the foregoing law,
in all cases where it may be violated, as well as the several
printers, by giving it an insertion in their papers.

BRADFORD.

Durina• the whole of Saturday and Monday, and even to a
certain degree up to this hour, the aspect of this town has been
quite unusual,—nothing else than the melancholy news of Satur-
day morning and the consequent embarrassments were either
spoken of or thought of. In the early part of Saturday, and in the
first paroxysm of alarm, notes were disposed of at a considerable
reduction from their nominal value,—as low in this town, as
15a. and in Leeds and Huddersfield, somewhat lower„—towards
the afternoon of Saturday, several shopkeepers and trades.
people, probably for the most part, those who owed money to
Messrs. Wentworth, exhibited papers in their windowS, purport-
ing that the notes of that company would be taken for goods ; one
firm received as much as 2,0001., and so great was the press upon
those who made this offer, that their doors were besieged, and
they were obliged to admit only one person at a time, and as it
was better to get the full price of a note in groceries, dra-
pery, &c. than sell it at an under value, this, and the hand-
bill put forth by Messrs. Wentworth and Co., naturally'
had the effect of putting a stop to the sale of Notes.—
During Saturday there was but a partial run upon the Bank
of Messrs. C. ii. and A. Barris and Co., on Monday it
somewhat encreased, as by that time the. intelligence had
reached the country towns, and the failure of Messrs. Dobson
and Co.'s Bank of Huddersfield, had also contributed to en.
crease the panic ; on the forenoon of Monday, a placard was
put out by the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbour-
hood, not only declaring their readiness to accept of the notes
of Messrs. Harris and Co., but offering their united guarantee
for the stability of the firm.—(Bradford Courier.)

to call upon the only man, who, he was certain, could retrieve
their affairs to resume the Government of India—he meant
the Marquis of Hastings:—(Hear, hear !)—lt would be an
act of magnanimity on the part of the Directors, and for which
there was a precedent in the case of the Marquis Cornwallis.
The Honourable Proprietor concluded by moving, " that
there be laid before the Court copies and documents of Papers
received from•the- Government of Bengal, relative to the But.
mese war, and also to the mutiny at Barrackpore, with the ex-
ception of such. 43 Were of a secret natute."
Mr. Pot NTEit seconded the amendment.

Sir C. PORBE:4 said that he had so often, both there and in
another place, expressed his opinion of the government of Lord
Amherst, that it was hardly necessary for him to say that he
most co:dially approved of any motion which would lead to his
recall. The necessity of that measure could be no secret to the
Directors themselves, when, as he was credibly informed, the
Duke of Buckingham was proposed to them as Governor.
General. . Now, without meaning any offence to that Noble-
man, he would say that he was glad to hear it was so, as any
change must be for the better.—(A laugh.}—He would, how-
ever, challenge the Directors to say whether that Nobleman had
not been proposed.
The CilaritataN begged to assure the Hon. Baronet that his
Majesty's Ministers had never proposed the Duke of Bucking-
ham as Governor-General, to him as Chairman, or to the Di-
rectors generally.—(Hear, hear!)
Sir C. FORIIES said, that although he might not have been
propoied officially, he (Sir C. F.) had no doubt he had been pro-
posed in some manner.
The CtrantataN said, that if the Hon. Baronet would ex-
plain what he meant by officially, he might perhaps be able to
answer him. He could, however, most unequivocally state
that no such proposition as that alluded to had been made ;
end the Hon. Baronet was therefore, he conceived, bound to be

satisfied with his (the Chairman's) explanation.
Sir C. FORB ES concluded by voting for the amendment.
The question was then.(after a few observations from the
Chairman and Mr. Astell) put upon the original motion, and
subsequently upon the amendment, when both were negatived
by a considerable tnajority.
The CirAinsLitt then stated that the Court stood adjourned
to the 18th of January, upon which day it was understood
that the case of Mr. Buckingham would be taken into cousi-
deration. -

JOURNEY TO NEW 31EXICO.

In a Washington Paper is published .a journal
of a tout from Franklin, Missouri, to New Mexico. We ex-
tract the following particulars. The party consisting of 81
strong, with 200 horses and mules, and goods to the amount
of 30,000 dollars started on the 16th May last:—
" June Bth, killed three buffaloe and one antelope.-9th,
killed three buffaloe, and saw at least 5,000, chiefly bulls.-
10th, saw 10,000 buffaloe, the prairies being literally covered
with them for miles.-11th, much harrassed by the herds of
buffaloe, which frightened the horses, &c.-17th, saw more
buffaloe.-28th, entered New Mexico, encamped on . the
Saud Hills, without wood or watter.-29th, great suffering
for want of water, many of the men and horses exhausted ; a
dog died of heat and thirst ; water at last obtained by sinking
wells.-Bth July, saw many green grapes and wild currants.
—l2th, began to approach the Rocky Mountains, met with

great herds of cattle and sheep.--25th, arrived at St. Migael,
the people miserably poor, but apparently happy.-28th,

EMORNING CHRONICLi.]

Yesterday was a holiday at the Bank, but not-
withstanding that circumstance, the Directors,
with great liberality, although contrary, we un-
derstand, to all former precedent, permitted a
transfer to be made by a person engaged for a
Country Bank, who was enabled to state a case
of such emergency, as to require this indul-
gence. The price quoted 79!, and sales for
this day in the Three per Cents. were effect-
ed at 79f ; and Three and a half per Cents.
at 86+ 87. On the Stock Exchange a good
deal of business was done. Consols for Ac-
count opened at 80-a ; cod in consequence of
some heavy purchases, they subsequently ad-
vanced to 81+, but at a later period of the day
fell to 80i. Upon the whole, the Market looked
well, and a further advance in prices is expected.
➢Money has evidently become more abundant, and
the demands for Stock were numerous. This cir-
cumstance is ascribed to two causes—first, to
the large purchases which have been made of
Exchequer Bills, the discount on which has
fallen to 15s. and 305., although within the
last few days above 80s.; and, secondly, to
the fact of the Bankers, who had been oblig-
ed to sell in order to make provision for ex-
pected runs during the late unaccountable panic,
having again made their appearance, with a view
to re-invest their floating capital. In many cases
good bills have been discounted in private cir-
cles at 5 per cent., but in others it was said that
this accommodation could not be obtained. We
have no doubt, however, that as confidence is
hourly increasing, all complaints of this sort
will shortly be at an end. In the course of the
morning it was stated that accounts had been
received of the failure of no less than ten differ-
ent Country Banks; but this produced no visible
effect on the public mind, as they were all consi-
dered to be of minor importance, although, no
doubt, productive of much local inconvenience.
Great complaints are made of the avidity with
which every little event has been seized
end aggravated, with a view to increase the
agitation of the country ; but so many mis-
statements have now been exposed, that people
take the trouble of making inquiries, before they
give implicit bclief to the singular and impro-
bable rumours which are industriously circulated,
The price of Russian Stock has advanced from
78 to 80, and, upon the whole, may be said to be
looking up. The intelligence given us in a
Morning Paper, respecting the violent death of
the Emperor Alexander, was not believed ; ac-
counts having been received by mercantile houses,
ascribing the event to natural causes.

LORD COCURANE and the PIRANGA.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
The arrival of Lord GOCIIItANE is now fixed
to take place on the 20th instant,—if, with the intention of re-
turning to the Brazils, his Lordship will probably, be disap-
pointed of proceeding immediately, as it appears the crew of the
Piranga have nearly all deserted the Brazilian service. Sixty
of them came on shore here, in a body, on Thursday last. The
causes of their dissatisfaction are probably stated in the tbl-
lowinp• letter, which was written by one of them previous to
the strike. Such is the attention now paid to the condition,
character, and comforts of British seamen employed in our ships
of war, that we cannot but view every such individual who en-
gages himself in the service of a foreign nation, as not possess-
ing the manly and open character and true corps d'esprit of a
genuine British seaman :
" Piranga, Sunday, Oct. 2, 1825.
" As a British seaman I take the liberty, of addressing you
with these lines, and likewise on behalf of my shipmates who
have been in the service of the Emperor. Lord Cochrane has
brought us to our native shore, where we would wish for to go,
but after toiling and fighting for their service, where many of
us have bled in their cause, we cannot get any remuneration,
but baffled every time we ask for our wages and prize-money ;
we think that British seamen, in time of peace, can sail in any
service which they please, and now we would wish for to leave
this frigate. We have no security for payment, therefore we
hope and trust, through our former merit against the enemies of
this country, you will do something in our behalf, and relieve
us from the greatest tyranny, cruelty, and oppression that can
be. exercised over British seamen. If you will speedily do
something for us, it will be the means of saving bloodshed. Our
provisions have been stopped this afternoon, we have no money,
and many of us are several miles from home, and poorly clothed.
For you to see forty or fifty British seamen going on shore ragged
and destitute from this vessel, would be no honour to Lord Coch-
rane, after all his exploits on the South Sea. If it is not in
your power to do any thing, we hope you will acquaint the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. We are not bound
to stay any longer, therefore we are all determined to leave
her; we will not do any thing that would disgrace the cha-
racter of British seamen.".

THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT.

The assertion that 2O/ per week is the maximum salary paid
to Actors (at least to Actresses) at the Winter Theatres, is in-
correct. Madame Vestris at Covent-garden, and Miss Kelly at
Drury-lane, receive 301. per week, or rather 10/. per night for
their performances during the week; for a limited period. Miss
Stephens, on the other hand, accepts of 20/.•
It is rumoured in the dramatic circles that the veteran, but
perennial Munden, will, in the course of the ensuing spring, re-
deem his pledge to his Irish friends, by performing at the Dub-
lin Theatre and taking leave. He will, it is said, be accompa-
nied by Jones of the Covent-garden Theatre, whose well-earned
popularity in Ireland is still undiminished and unrivalled.
At the close of Madame Catalani's Concerts and performances
in London, during the winter, it is said, she will cross the At-
lantic, and visit New York, where that enterprising Manager,
Mr. Price, has offered this Lady a liberal engagement.
Kean took his farewell benefit, previously to his leaving the
kingdom, at Douglas, in the Isle of Man. He received 1001.
by his theatrical exertions in that secluded island.
CHARLES MATIrEws, the comedian, is going in November
to Bath and Bristol, where he intends to be "At Home," and
act in the regular drama likewise. Mathews has not visited
either of these great theatrical cities for two or three years.
The original Manuscripts, and adaptations of some of the
Plays of Skakspeare, by the late Mr. Kemble, which were sold
in that gentleman's Library, by Mr. Evans, in Pall-mall, were
purchased by the Hon. George Lamb. One of these Plays, it
is reported, will be acted at Drury-lane Theatre during the
present season.
In the year 1803, two • original Letters of Shakspeare were
found among the Dorset Papers,which the late amiable Duchess
of Dorset signified her intention of depositing at the British
Museum ; and shortly after, a third Letter was discovered in
the same archives. Now that the Duchess and Lord Whit-
worth are both dead, we hope the surviving daughters will per-
mit these invaluable relics to be published. •

THE THEATRE.

DRURY-LINE.-The character of Brutus, in
a Tragedy with that title, not in the Julius Cesar
of SIIAKSPEARE, as stated in one of the Morning
Papers, restored Mr. Boom to the London Stage
on Saturday, in the hero of the Piece. Mr. I
BOOTH, a few years ago, came forward as the
professed rival, and was certainly the imitator of
Mr. KEAN. W e never were among the admirers
of Mr. KEAN, whose acting appeared to us to be
affected, grotesque, and frantic, and we were al-
ways astonished at his remarkable success, which
we would fain have attributed to partial igno-
ranee rather than to a degeneracy of public taste.
Mr. BOOTH has, in a great degree, thrown off his
imitation of KEAN, but habit is difficult to con-
quer, and some of the peculiarities of the latter
still cling to him. However, on the whole, he
acquitted himself in such a manner as to skew
that he possesses original powers, and if he to-1
tally avoids imitation of any thing but Nature,
he will be a good Actor. He was very well re-
ceived, and, at the end of the Play, a loud call
demanded him to appear and announce the future
performance. Mr. NV ALLacK informed the audi-
ence, that as soon as he heard the demand, he
hastened to Mr. Boovu and apprized him of it,
but the latter declined the honour. This de-
claration did not allay the storm. Mr. s‘VALLACK
again came forward, stating that he had renewed
his application, but that Mr. BooTil still declined
the intended honour. The clamour, however,
still continued, but at length gradually died
away. The Farce was Simpson and Co. Mr.
W who has appeared as Old Dornion, on
this occasion, took the character of Simpson. He
is accused, we find, of too servilely copy-
ing Mr. TEulty, who was very SUCCPss-
, ful in this part ; but Mr. TEILRY acted
conformably to truth and Nature in it, and
therefore it would have been absurd as well as'
hazardous in Mr. 'WILLIAMS if he had taken a
different course. They both acted upon the same
right principle, and -some resemblance was the
unavoidable result, and not the effect of studious
imitation. Before we conclude we must again
enter our protest against the admission of the
half-price visitors when the clock strikes nine.
The good old custom of the London Stage was
Ito admit half-price at the end of the third act of
a play, tragedy or comedy, and at the end of the
second act of an opera. By the absurd and of-
fensive practice of admitting half-price exactly
at nine o'clock, the opening of doors, the fall
of benches, and the trampling of feet, occur fre-
quently in the middle of perhaps the most inte-
resting scene of the play. The Covent-Garden
Manager adopts the old practice, and it is
adopted also at all the other Theatres. Why
is this, so gross a nuisance, which destroys all
pleasure and interest in the piece, still prevalent
at Drury-Lane Theatre ? We cannot discover
any rational plea in defence of this injurious and
loathsome practice, and hope, for the satisfaction
of the public, that it will be immediately abo-
