the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, that he manufactures
this particularly CHEAP .and DURABLE PAINT, which.
is admitted, by those who have used it; to be the best covering
for all exposed Works, as neither dainP, rust, or marine acid
can affect it. It is applicable AT ALL'SEASONS, and will
never blister or peel off, as other paints. It is particularly
adapted for painting on Stucco:
o:or Roman Cement Fronts, Out-
houses, Wood or Iron Bridges, Railings, Park Paling, An-
chors, Barges, Boats, Garden Walls, Mills, Breweries, Paper
Manufactories, Waggons, Covers for Corn and Hay Ricks, (it
being preferable to Tar, as it never melts), Farming Utensils,
Iron Hurdles, and all Property exposed to the weather. This
celebrated Composition, being in a powder, is strongly recom-
mended to Country Gentlemen, Farmers, &c. &c. not only for
its cheapness and durability; but for the facility of laying it on,
which can be effected by any common labourer. It is supplied

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Theatre Royal, Covcnl•gardrn, Sept. 5, 1823.
Sin—The following paragraph having appear-
ed in your Paper of the 27th ult., in a letter
signed J. W. BRANDON, the Lessees of 'Covent-
Garden Theatre cannot suffer the imputation
upon their character therein contained to pass
unnoticed, and therefore request that you will
insert the correspondence which has passed upon
the subject. The paragraph alluded to is as
follows :

" I will give. you the very words of Mr. COWST'S reply—
' These men (meaning Mr. KEMBLE,' Captain FOUBEA, and
Mr. IVILLE TT) will do or say any thing to answer their pur-
pose. Have they not sworn in their affidavit, in answer to my
application to the Cour of Chancery, that I recommended a
dismissal of your brother, and the appointment of a Mr. DU NN
in his place? Which is as great a falsehood as ever was ut,
tered.' "

Copy of a Letter to Faasicrs CONST,. Esq., dated Langley,
Uxbridge, Aug. 27, 1823 :
Sift—We beg to refer you to a letter in the 3lorning Papers
of this day, signed JAMES BRANDON, and request to know
from yourself whether the expressions he quotes, as from you,
are correctly stated therein.
An early answer will oblige, as of course such a statement
requires notice. (Signed) J. S. WILLETT.
JOHN FORBES.
Copy of a Letter to WIG Haanisow, Esq., dated Covent
Garden Theatre, Sept. 1; 1823.
DE.an Silt—You will, no doubt, have seen a statement,
signed James Brandon, in the public Papers, , quoting some
expressions of Mr. Const, which I consider by no means to
correspond with the opinion he expressed at your house, as to
his (Mr. Brandon's) conduct in Covent Garden Theatre. As
he has thought proper to allow such a publication to pass In
silence, and has returned no answer to a letter which was writ-
ten to him upon it, it becomes necessary, on the part of the
Lessees of this Theatre, to have the subject fully explained.
You will therefore, I hope, pardon my requesting. on behalf
of myself and co-lessees, that you will favour me with your re.
collections of the observations made by Mr. Coast upon the
subject of the Mr. Brandons, with relation to Covent Garden
'M eatre. • (Signed) JOHN FORBES.
Copy of a Letter to Captain FonaEs, dated 45, Lincoln's Inn-
fields, 2d Sept. 1823.
MY DEAR. Srn.-In answer to your letter of yesterday, re.
ferring to some expressions stated by Mr. Brandon in his let-
ter to have been used by Mr. Coast, and requesting me to
state my recollection of what passed upon upon the subject
of Messrs. Brandon when Mr. Const met you and Mr. Willett
at My house, I can have no difficulty in saying that I read
those expressions with great surprise, and did certainly expect
that they would in some way either publicly, or privately to
you, be disavowed, for I have the most perfect recollection of
what passed at my Chambers in the general discussion which
we then had upon the affairs of Covent-Garden, and I have no
hesitation in stating, and am ready, if any future proceedings
should render it necessary, to verify the statement upon oath
in any Court, that Mr. Const stated in strong terms his de-
cided conviction that the dismissal of the Mr. Brandons, al-
luding both to the Treasurer and Box-keeper, was essential to
the future welfare of the Theatre; and that it was one of the
first objects to accomplish in any anaugement which might
arise out of the discussions with Mr. Harris, which were then
going on.

(Signed) W. HARRISON.

you from Langley, on the 27th of August,, to which we have
received no reply. As it therefore became necessary to investi-
gate further, we beg to send you a copy of a letter written to

you will see the, necessity of answering it,forthwith.
