, . It is with much concern we inform our Readers,
that instead of finding. any abatement in the-riotous
proceedings at this Theatre, they were last"- night
equal in violence to any thing that before
.occhrretl.
The play w,is Romeo and Juliet, and the entertain-
ment The. Poor Soldier. The house was but tlfinly
attended at the commencement of the performances, •
and the first two acts, as usual, were guttered to
pass with little inierruption, except when Mr. C.
XEMBLE, who asurned the part of Romeo, appear-
ed. He.ivar always saluted with mark., of 'displea-
sure, which .however the more liberal part of 'the
attchence discountenanced. As far as, he
was
be
heard, his performance of the character one of
the very, best We have ever -witnessed, and was
Marked by judgment and sensibility. Mrs. CLARKE,
Who appeared in Euphrasia, was the Juliet last
night. Her anion was graceful, and she appeared
to have a just conception of the character, and un-
der the agitation which she must have suffered; it
was surprising tharshe could colleet and manage her
Powers with so much apparent ease and firmness.--
JoisiEs-. for the first time performed the part of iller-
cutio; and bu,stled through it with effect.
The close Of the third a4l brought on the usual
storm ; for the. opponents of the Theatre broke in
with their usual violence, bearing down all opposi-
tion, tilt they had gained-the centre and front of the
Flt•-,Then,hegan. all•lhose vocal exertions which
we have too often had occason notice. '
rattles, hortis, and. all the:artillery of tumult, were
put immediately: into a6ion, and exercised till the
'cPPing of the 'curtain. But what renders this
of turbulence still more offensive, is, the unl
manly habit that now beginS icr prevail of throwing
ll'lngs on the stage. Is it not enough that the'
Ad ors and Actresses are obliged to_ go through their
Parts exposed.to the mortification of 'laving their ta-
lents overborne by clamour,, but must their persons
also' be subjected to injury ? yVho will presume to
Y.,.tbat the persons who can thus attack tinoffetxl.7.-
_,..."1 People, and even the helpless females; pre men
who are animated by public principles; and, Only
seek the abol;tion of what they deem- a grievance
No :—these must be wretches whO are capable of
any outrage, and those who are really advocates for
what they consider as the public right; shocld not
rl.tr their Cause to be disgraced by the,Co-operation

Thete were plenty Of hats with the 0.P.. upon

only novel one,

" Sons of Britain, neer give o'er,

Fear not.! Read, xou're in the right:"
except indeed a kind of Banner, on which apii4k'd
`",` God save the_ King "at the top—in .one 'gaiter
-0-P. in gold letters—in another a Bull, with a
9ollar round his neck, inscribed with theletterS
Q. in. the lower quarters were a bell and a rat-
tle, and at the bottom, for inotto--" Our Rights and
Independence."—This was held' up several times,
rnd eN; ti. time, it was received with three cheers,' fol-
?wed song and dance. Several of the malecon-
erns the Pit had their 0. P.'s surmounted-with
the
fiu-tire of a bull, but they were conned to that
ralla-the house.

Other inscriptions were of So obscene and infa-
tilous a description, that even persons who were of
the hostile party called out " shame ! "shame !" and
obliged the bearers to suppress them: Many offen-
sive eXclamationa were directed ..towards the pri-
Vate boxes, and the' ladies were obliged to retire.—
After a few. mock'-contests, and perhaps some real
ones; for, it is difficult to discriminate in such a scene
of cofusion, the rnalenontents roared " God save
the King;" had a dance, :some cheers and some
troans, and then quitted the Theatre.

the isth, to the.poor of the Parishes of Hartwell,
