A serious misunderstanding has occurred between the Ma-
nager of the Dub!la Theatru and the Performers, which
threatens to be the means of closing the house. Should this
be the case, the latter intend to petition the Lord Lieutenant
fur n license to open the private 'fheat re in Fishamble-street.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE ITALIANS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn.--I find that a paragraph appeared yesterday in ne
Champion, accusing the of having bee❑ the cause of delaying
the new Tragedy of The Italians, arranged for performance
at a much earlier period of the season, for the selfish motive
of having it acted for my benefit, which the paragraph as-
serts is to take place on Saturday next; to aroid,all such dis-
agreeable reflections,".on my entering into an engagement at
Drury-Lane Theatre, I determined not to take a benefit.—
This declaration, I trust, will corrrince the Editor of The
Champion that he has done me an injury, and t doubt not
will induce him to make me all the atonement desire,
namely, that he will contradict in his next paper the unkind
paragraph, and I am sure, Si,, you hare too much liberality,
to refuse an immediate publication of this statement.
I am, dear Sir, your sobcdicnt Servant,
Theatre Royal, Drury-Lane, S. KEMBLE.

It may not be nn worthy of remark, that No.

hacing.been, as it was in the former instance, a
bespoke Number ; and bespoke too in both cases
in consequence of a dream, and shared each time
by 13t514.. In the former Lottery, in which it was
drawn a Prize ,of 20,000/., there were three of
that amount, ail sold it shares by Bisti ; and as
there are three of 20,0001. to be drawn Saturday
Next, the forthcoming of this Number may be the
precurhor .of mpre good luck.

CONSOLIDATED FUND PRODUCE BILL.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL now moved, 'that the
Consolidated Fund Produce Bill shotild.be read a
third time, when, the mo!ion being put, .
The Marquess of LANSDOWNE rose, not for the'
purpose of objecting to the principle of the Bill,
which he allowed to be alike just to the public
and the Batik, 'but what he contended was, that
the pt inciple was not carried far enough, and
therefore he could not allow the Bill to go to a
third reading without objecting to the limited
principle on which it went. He wished that prin-
ciple which at present applied to a beneficialiv of
participation hi the balancesiot the ,Exelrequer,
only, and for which the public were indebted 'to
an individual in the other !-louse (Mr.
to be carried to its fullest extent." Whyolid the'
principle go to affect the Customs and Excise, to
the amount of 300,0001.1 Another shore; observa-
tion he wished to offer was upon the statement
that '6,000,001. would' be saved to the public.—
Now he'understood that the wholrebalance in the
Excloquer did' not exceed 4,000,000., 'and •there-'
tore h was quite impossible to save six million's". •
He would ventore-to state, that the deficiency of
the Cou-olidieted Fund had amounted •to no less'
titan 3,300,0001., and that no saving wareeracti-'
cable till the first of June, "if there were any sav-
ing at all. What, therefore, was the conclusion-
their Lordships must come to ? The benefit to be
derived in this instance'was merely from the sum
of 2,700;0001., or rather 'from the half of that
sum. He was very far indeed frotte•Avishin.; to
state these -circumstances in opposition to the'
BM; but of this he was satisfied, that the Mini,-
ters of the Prince Regent might render the Bank
balances available to the public to the amount of
7,000,0001. It was in the confident hope that
the Prince Regent's Ministers would extend the
principle of the Bill that he suffered it to pro,
ceed to a third reading.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said,lhat as the Noble
Marquess .had not opposed the principle of the
Bill, he was not called upon to trouble their
Lordships 'at any great length. The origin,or
the measure was to be traced so far back "as' the
year 1807, when the allernative was given to the
Bank either to lend without interest or to defray'
the balances in their hands. The result was,
:hat the Batik, without itherest, had aecommo-'
dated the public', at a time of war, difficolt in
the extreme, and Government left the balances'
in possession of the Bank. Some of the balatices
had become due in April last, when they were•
tenthred by the Bank. He was sanguine enough
to hope that those balances would amount to
nearly tour millious„As to that extensi,pn of the
principle with regard to balances, which the No-
ble Marquess wished' to see, he could only say
that the' measure did trot appear to be advisable
ou atemint 4lie inquiry how going on respect-
ing the state of the Bank. The principle was in
itself perfectly just, but it rested with the wisdom
of• Par hornet)! to emend it,

MESSAGES FROM THE COMMONS.
Lord LIIwTHER, and others, nom ttite Cow-

up she Quarter Set.,stuns' Divibioo Bill, whicli wail

Sir J. GRAHAM 'moved the second reading of the London
Mr. BENNET objected to so summary a Way of proceeding
with a Bill of so Much importance, at so early an hour, and
the present state of the House.
Sir J. GRAHAM stated, that he had conversed with an
Hon. Alderman of the City of London, who wished him to
pot off the second reading till after Easter. This he had
refused ti, do, lint had exiiressed his intention to postpone
the Committee on the Bill to that. period. With that as-
surance the Honourable Alderman seemed to be satisfied,
and he understood that the second reading would not be op-
posed. .
Mr. F. DOUGLAS contended that it would be for the ad-
vantage of the Bill that it shijuld not appear to have been
harried
,through the House, witlionvaffOrding every, oppor-
tunity to the persons affected by the measure to petition
against it.
Sir T. GRAHAM had gieen public notice that he should
brinkun the second reading this day, as early as possible...-
The opponents of the measuve might have had it made an
Order f the Day, if they •hail pleased, and its discussion
would .hare come .on later. Not having dune. so, he con-
ceived them to have given up all idea of opposing the second
reading.
Mr. IJENNET trusted that the Honourable Baronet
would not press the second reading of a Bill which had al-
ready occasioned' considerable discussion, and created a
great-feeling in.the House, at so early an bout as six mi-
nutes Past four, and when but few Members were as-
sembled. - . •

Mr-Alderman WAITHMAN stated, that some deference
was certainly'doe to the opinion of so respectable a.body as
the whole of the - inhabitants of London, who were de-
cidedly hostile- to the Bill. They bad not yet bad time to
express their Sentiments, but he knew-that as soon as they
should have an opportunity, upwards of fifty petitions
would he sent up by them against the measure. He trust-
ed that a Bill imposing a fresh tax upon them would nut
be thus hurried on without affording them an ample
portunity of appealing to Parliament. The Bill lota only
been introduced last Thursday, and it was impossible for
them to be acqUainted with its contents. All they could
yet know was, that its object was to lay a new 'mallet) uioti
tfirm.

A desultory conversation then took place on the propriety
of postponing the, second leading, in which Sir Will.
Mr. Gurney, Mr. Alderman Wood;"Mr. .Wiltierlince, Mr.
Gonlburo, Sir .1. Newport, Mr. Lambtou, and 'Mr. Gipps,
participated. At its close,
Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIGNY moved, that the second
reading he postponed to this day se'nuya.
The House then divided—

Majority for the Sectm,l Reading

The Billwa; torn read a second time.
Mr. BENNET they: stated 'that he had never seen an at-
tempt. that had more the appearance of smuggling a Bill
through the House.
'After a few words from Sir J. Graham, Mr. S.\Vortley, and
Mr. Lambton, there being no question before the House, the
Spraher called to order, and the conversation dropped.
