SunscRIPTION THEATRE.

AN Advertisement, officially
,signed by Mr.
Peake, thr Treasurer of Dritry-lane Tlieatre. having
appeared in the Public Papers of 'Monday last, 'in which the
Motives and Intentions of the Promoters of the Subseription
Theatre are mast illiberally arraigned, the Committee feel
themselves called upon to reply.
The Proposition was submitted to the Public neither in
" hasty misconception nor intentional delusion," still less is
it an " unfeeling and dishonest a. tempt", to violate any. pro.
Petty which, whether in a state of prosperity or distress, they
Consider equally sacred The Plan for building a•third The-
4tre in this Metropolis did not originate in the .1 fortunate
catastrophe mat has befallen Drury-lane. The Promo-
ters of the Subscription Theatre, in common with others, de.
plc re the calamity of the late fire, certainly not the r nly ca.
'amity which has oppressed its Proprietary, and if .lie plea-
sures are now completed, which will insure the rebuilding of
that Theatre, they can have no other sensation than co!' sum.
.faction, feeling, as they do, n" sentiment of hostility, or with
of injurious rivalship against that ur fr.rtutuite concern. But
,vhen they see an officia Advertisement issued to the world,
insinuating that their prt.?jetti is • npported by a list of " Sup-
posed Subscribers ;" in justice to themselves, they thus pub-
licly state, that the Prospeaus of the proposed Plan, and the
Books for Subscription having been ripened on Monday. the
whole Sum required was filled by the subsequent Wednes-
day,

It may alto here nat be improper to advert to the eincl ud •
ing part of that Advertisement, which announces a power
4nd design in the Proprietors of Drury-Lane, to erea a third
Theatre on a dormant Patent, it a third Theatre. should .be
Wanted. This assertion, i( not a " hasty mi,conception,"
Inust certainly he " an intentional delusion." as will be ma-
nifest from the following short Statement : We under-
stand that when it was in contemplation to pull down old
Irury and rebuild the late Theatre, as the Company was
then playirg on a Patent that had not many years to run, in
order to induce the Public to subscribe for the ereaion of the
hew,Theatre, it became necessary to obtain a more perma-
nent Tenure than a tenippr ry Patent. And as Mr. j-larris
then had lying dormant What was considered to he a Patent
in fee, that Patent was purchased with some of the Fto,d
raised for building New Drury. When that temporary Patent
Mall expire, the Company. must then play on what they.,cal I
the dormant Patent atinexeci to that Theatre, and therefore
cannot be " put in aaion" for the ettaion of a third Theatre.
-But admitting that the P.xecutive Power has grapted.rh ree-co-
existent Patents, surely they were meant to give the Puhiic the
'benefit of three . heatrps, and it was therefore defeat.:, that
objeCt•to sittfer one Theatre, by a Monopoly of two Patents.
to extinguish the third. Tbe.Public being thus guarded
against " intentional delusion" on this point, may be assured.
tfiatati appeal he'rnade to " I ustice Of Parliament,"
and the Committee feel the most sanguine hope of success.
