THE THEATLig.-Mr. DEAN continues to be so
attractive in the part of King Lear, that the Ma-
Hager is likely to be abundantly recompensed for.
the liberal manner in which the hue Tragedy of our
great Dramatic Bard has been revived at Dt.ury-
Lane Theatre. Atter tie Tragedy, the old
Farce of The King and the Miller of Mansfield,
was revived fur the purpose of introducing
Mr. STEPHEN K BMBLE in the character of the
Miller. There was Tittle opportunity of judging
of his performance, but that little afforded a good
specimen of honest rusticity and manly humour,
it the farce had not been interrupted by factious
clamour. The Mille► proposed a toast at the
supper, in the following words :—" Here's the
King's health—Heaven Hess his Majesty—may
he live long to reign in the hearts of a loyal,
brave, and affectionate People."—This toast
was received by a very numerous audience with
hearty acclamations and three rounds of applause.
As soon as the applause ended, a voice in the Gal-
lery, evidently that of a boy, called out " the
QUEEN'S Health." This was no doubt the in-
tended signal, and immediately -a considerable
Party echoed the call, and nothing but 'confusion
ensued. Dlr. Itussci.r. its vain represented
that the Farce was an old and popular one,. and
solicited a patient hearing till the conclusion.—
It was impossible for any thing to be heard on the
stage, and 'he clamour continued till the dropping
of the curtail). The tumult was confined to the
Gallery, and the decent people in the l'it put on
their hats, to mark their indignation at such a
riotous interruption of a rational amusement,
as can only be considered as the effusion of
►actions malevolence.
