MR. AND MRS. GLOVER.

To THE PUBLIC.-1 have long borne in silence
the reports circulated to my disadvantage ; hut
there is a 'period when patience ceases to he a
virtue, and forbearance is criminal. The preju-
dice which threatens to overwhelm me, and con-
sequent difficulty I experience in obtaining.' ho-
nourable employment, imperatively demand that
I enter on my jubtification.

Mr. Pollock (Scrjeant's Inn) having asserted in Court,
that ray husband, Mr. Samuel Glower, had "deserted his
wife and children," I do here, in justice to Mr. Glover, state
that it is without foundation. The separation was on my
part,-occasioned by a numerous increasing family and great
pecuniary difficulties.

COPY OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN MR. AND MRS.

GLOVER, DATED AUG. 22, 1818.

It is agreed between Mr. and Mrs. Glover, that Mrs. Glover
shall take one half of her professional earnings; the other
half to be paid into the bands of some respectable person, to
he approved of by both parties, for the purpose of liquidat-
ing those engagements which Mrs. Glover has contracted.
After which, the whole of Mrs. Glover's earnings to he at
her disposal, unless she contract further debts ; when one
half the salary to be appropriated accordingly. And so long
as this agreement is carried into effect. Mr. Glover promises
not to interfere with Mrs. Glover's professional engagements.

On signing the above agreement, Mrs. Glover's salary at
the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, was released to her, and a
trifling sum applied to extricate me from the difficulties into
which 1 was plunged ; but so far from " regularly receiving
a considerable portion of Mrs. Glover'S weekly salary," the
assistance afforded we during the last four years does not ex-
ceed fifty pounds.

It is reported, that " on my marriage I was considerably in
debt." True; but my father, through the bands of Edward
Thomason, Esq. of Birmingham, paid all demands against me;
therefore not owe shilling of Mrs. Glover's salary wa3 appro-
priated to that purpose.
In 1814, after I had been imprisoned six years, an arrange-
ment with the creditors took place; but the debts contracted
by Mrs. Glover during my absence abroad, necessitated me to
adopt measures for ensuring my personal safety. Surely there
can be but one opinion as to the propriety of the above agree-
ment. 1 have done more ;—Relying on Mrs. Glover's pro-
mile to fulfil the engagement, I have assigned over to her the
,right of receiving the whole of her salary at the Theatre
Royal, brory-lane, during three years, and flatter myself our
unhappy dissensions are elided.
_ _

A small part only of Mrs. Glover's salary has been appro-
priated to defray the expences of our children's education;
the schedule in the hands of my assignees proves that I ant
still responsible for three-fourths of the amount.

It is said, " I have contributed nothing towards the sup-
port of my family:" the various sums I received since my
marriage were very considerable ; particularly during nay im-
prisonment, when in one instance 5001 was paid me; nine-
tenths of which, although without a prospect of liberation,
I applied to discharge the debts of the most necessitot:s cre-
ditors—a circumstance sufficient to prove that a principle of
honour is not wanting.

It wis nut until every effort, personally and by letter, had
been in vain exerted to induce Mrs. Glover to return to her
duty as a wife, that another connexion took place. During
its continuance, and until my departure for France, Mrs.
Glover visited and corresponded with are on the most friend-
ly terms : I accompanied her, as usual, to the houses of her
friends, and to places of public amusement.
To various branches of my family,. Mrs. Glover frequently,
and with truth, declared " she was convinced of my invio-
lable attachment, and that but for her separation. no other
connexion would have taken place." Indeed, were I the cha-
racter represented, Mrs. Glover would not enable me, as she
has honourably done, to repel the odious charge of " desert-
ing my wife and children."

The Bill of Fare of the Royal Menagerie, Exe-

grown prodigiously; the additions of many very va-
luable Animals and Birds, froM the late East India
fleets, amongst which is the wonderful and highly
interesting Gnu, from Ethiopia, so little known,
that .few Naturalists have even named it, being
different in his conformation to every other
quadruped ; the Great Emews from Van Die-

Grand Assemblage improved and decorated in a
manner highly creditable to the spirited and inde-
fatigable Proprietor, who has rendered it in every
respect the most rational Exhibition in the Me•
