LIVERPOOL, DEc. 15.

DISTURBANCE AT THE THEATRE.

On Monday, evening last one of the most dis-
, graceful scenes of riot and wilful dektruction of property ever
witnessed occurred at our Theatre. The.disturbance originated
'in consequence of Miss C AMER, one of the ,actresses, having.
sung at the last concert at the Mush-hall, in- opposition td the
peremptory order of the Managers. On .Monday morning an
"'Appeal" from this lady appeared on the walls of the town,
'in which she 'stated,. that she had been forbidden by the Ma-
nagers ever to appear at the Theatre again, although others of
the company had sung at different concerts without hissing in-
curred the penalty of dismissal.
The performances of Monday evening were for the benefit of
Mr. Bass, and the house waticrowded in every part. The play
of .ilellamsra and the petit:comedy of Three week.vgficr Mar-
were performed without interruption. The conmien cement
of the afterpiece, The forty Thieves, was the signal for the
disturbance. Miss Cramer had been announced, in the bills
first issued, for the part of Morgiana ; but, in the hills of the
day, the part was allotted to. Miss Kenneth. On the appear.
ance of the latter, disapprobation was manifested by some of
the audience, more particularly by the occupants of the gallery.
The calls for " Mr. Lewis !" 'Manager I' " Miss Cramer !"
became general from all parts of the bowie, mixed with the dis,
cordant sounds of whistles, catcalls, &c.- Indeed, every instru-
ment that could produce noise was put in :requisition. The
spirit of mischief now displayed itself. Most of the audience
in the gallery and upper boxes poured doln, in one continued
shower, oranges, apples, &c., on the stage and into-the pit.—
The seats of the gallery were forcibly pulled up,
.and thrown at
the costly chandelier, which is considerably damaged. Some
of the fragments of the seats, all of which fell into the pit, were
from 4to feet long. - A panic new seized the audience in the
pit, who, assailed by the various missiles thrown by the gods from
the upper regions, sought safety in flight. A scene of itidescrib-
able-eonfusion'enaued. In a few niinutea the pit Was completely
deserted, sonic of the audience having made their escape through
the usual passages, whilst still more, among .whom were a
great number of females, escaped by climbing over into the
boxes. The work of destruction continued unabated. The
rioters, having expended every other missile, now pulled the
plaster off the walls of the gallery, and threw it at the perfor-
mers on the stage. They also broke the strong iron-rail WhiCh
surrounds the gallery, cast it into the pit, and destroyed nearly
all the foot-lamps on the stage.
Mr. Vandenhoff now appeared with a paper in his hand, and
was loudly applauded. A disposition was shown by the audi-
ence in the lower part of the house to hear him, and this throw-
, log of missiles was, in a great measure, discontinued. In vain,
however, did Mr. Vandenhoff endeavour to gain is hearing;
and he was, at length obliged to retire without obtaining
his object. Mr. Baas next came on ; he was assailed by
every kind of missle, which lie bore with commendable for-
titude. He, too, was obliged to leave the stage unheard.—
The afterpiece was enacted, but not a word of it Was heard.
The lights were, at last, extinguished, and the audience
were left to find their way out in the dark. Although the
house was very full, we have not heard of any person hay.
ing sustained bodily injury; a circumstance which is some-
what remarkable, when we consider the nature of the misailes
that were thrown froM the upper regions.
The 31anagers yesterday published an address, wherein they
justify their conduct, maintain their right to govern the theatre
according to established rules, and appeal to the public for sup-
port.—( Liverpool Courier.)
