'duty to revert to the dramatic events ti hrctt have di riut;~aisl►rd
the season 110 W concniding. The • Proprietors, tliMigh they
are thankful fur the approbation which has generally attend-
ed the dramatic novelties produced, do nut hesitate to
critic the success of the season to the unprecedented aurae,
tion of that highly gifted daughter iif Alelpainune, Mtn in her
range of vat ied and arduous characters, has been adj udged
by the. public worthy of succeeding her great predecessui,
whose recent loss to the stage was by many thought irrepa-
rable.--6. The name of Miss O'Neil need hardly be added.—
Her ;admirable talents (aided and supported by a Dramatic
Company.which has the honour to stand favourable in your
estimation) have proved so produuive that, although tho
receipts on the nights Miss O'Neil did not perform have been
'consideratily lessened, yet the whole season has been suffi-
ciently advantageous to euabli•P' the Proprietors tnsatisfy their
annual heavy dstuands, the weight of which seemed likely to •
overwhelm them. , .

In every boon the Proprietors have hitherto solicited or re-
teived from the liberality of the Public they have not been
influenced by avarice.—No I Their objects have been to be en-
abled to furnish acceptable entertainments for their en.-
lightened patrons, and also to discharge those pecuniary 0b.,-
ligations which the visitation of misfortunes has brought
upon them.

They beg to put in their claim for a share of that feeling so
dear to every re.spectable breast—the pride and comfort of
ing able to pay every man hisowth
These imperious circumstances Can only be met by your
according to then' a boon as trilling to the individual as it is
important to the welfareuf the Stage in general. It will be a
fresh stimulus to their exertions for your accommodation and
entertainment, to which end their whole thoughts, thrle and
attention will be incessantly occupied. It is, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen, only to grant on the first .price of admission to that
eligible situation, the Pit, the small addititin wf Sixpence.

This address was.in general very %yell received;
but the moment the " addition of Sixpence" was
uttered, as furious a storm broke toith as ever
rAged'in the midst of the memorable 0. P. war-
fare. At length the Mr. EvAxs who addressed
the audience on the close of Drury-Lane Theatre,
re's'umed hiS oratorical station last night, and
urged the same topics against any advance of price
which were employed it; ehe former contest. As
there was a great -confusion in the Theatre, Mr.
FAwcETT again' came on the stage, and requested
that as the Proprietors of 'the Theatre only ven-
tured to solicit the. proposed measure as a .Boon.
froth .the Public, and would pot presume to pusk
rnaiser,ahy farther, he humbly requested, in the
hame of the Proprietors, that the audience would
patiently listen to what that Gentleman, or any
other, might wish to say on the subject.

This Address restored silence, and Air. ErANs
'proceeded. When be concluded, the turbulence
was renewed with greai fury. " nude Britannia"
and " Hearts of Oak" were 'sung, by the Pit, the
0.,P. Dance followed, and, excepting the want
of floi.ls, Catcalls, and other. instruments of an-
noyance, the Opposition to the theatre was fully
Opal in violence to any of the scenes attending
the Eanief lamer table controversy. We shall not
enter into the subject at present, as we doubt not
that tlie.PrOprietvt's will present their case to the
Ptiblie.,, and then we trust that the Public wilt
act as .becomes the British character,- and that
their de-cision;:vhatever it may be, will he founded
on principles of justice and liberality.
Manv of the'scats in the Pit were broken, and
the attack of a wonnin on .. one of the chande-
liers excited an apprehension that - the Theatre
‘votild have 'sustained some essential injury.—
After, howeVer, abopt an hbur 'passed in stamp.
ing on the benches'of the Pit, hissing, groaning,
aful the intervention of a few. harangues, the
'crowd sallied into the avenues, where they con-
tinued butt short tithe, - and then dispersed. No-
thilig of the farce was heard. The house was
crowded, as if in expectation of some extraordi-a
nary evetit.
