Fi CAS AT D!ZURY-LANE

THEAT,:E.

An extraordinary scene of riot occurred last night at
this house, during the performance of the Concert d'Ete,
which brought the entertainment to an abrupt and most
disagreeable conclusion. At the commencement of the
second part of the concert, en individual dressed in an or-
dinary blouse, and quite tipsy, took his place in the dress
circle, and soon attracted attention by pouring forth the
foxhunter's cry of " Yolks, Tal,y-lao I" The police at-
tempted to take him out of the box ; he and his friends re-
sisted, and in the struggle he was tumbled, head over
heels, into the pit, and then again seized. A violent core-
motion now ensued. The police and their captive were
tussled about from one side of the pit to the other. A
reinforcement of some three or four men came from Bow-
street, and the belligerent force of the audience was also aug-
mented. To those in the boxes a most animated engage-
ment was now displayed, in which occasional most formida-
ble whirling of the police staves was perilously conspicuous.
It took at the least ten minutes before the capture could be
effected and the prisoner borne away. Here the matter
might have ended, and should have ended, but the police,
with gross indiscretion, returned to the theatre, entered
the pit, and drove through the excited assembly in order
to seize those by whom they considered that they had been
assailed in their former proceeding. The consequence
was a renewal of battle with aggravated animosity on both
sides, and this, to all appearance, ended by the police force
being ejected in a very precipitate manner down the wide
central stairs of the pit. We understand, however, that
some three or four supposed assailants of the force were
by them taken and consigned to the Bow-street cells.
The affair did not end here. The pittites, when thus seem-
ingly victorious, turned their attention to Mr. Eliason, as
he tried to lead Haydn's " Surprise" (!) and assailed him
with violent animadversions, to which he tried in vain to
gave a satisfactory reply. He, ho Never, offered to go to
the police-office and bail out, if possible, the original
cause of all the uproar. He went, and was obliged to re-
turn with the information that the hero in question was so
overcome with tipsiness, and probably his late exertions,
as to be quite unfit for a state of freedom. This left the
malcantents in statu quo—the concert could not go on—
" God save the Queen " was played, but, in vain, to re-
store calm ; and at length the musicians retired from the
scene where they could produce no efficient harmony.
