LARGE LErr ERS.

The following Letter, we understand, is authen-
tic, and we i►►sert it because it is creditable to the
friendly zeal of the Manager, and to the modesty,
as well as liberal feelings, of the 'Writer :
" MY DEAR ELLISTON,

" I am sorry you have. announced me for Doctor
Cantwell in large letters. You meant it, lam wil-
ling to allow, as a kindness but I beseech you
to alter it in future advertisementi. 1 expect ►t,at
any little merit I may possess in my profession
shall have its fair chance ; but cannot enduie that
my name should be particularized by any mat ks
of distinction in the play-hills. The roost subut -
dinate Performer should be allowed to urge his
claim to Public favour unprejudiced, as well as
the highest.—l do and ever shall regard my Bro-
thers and Sisters of the Profession too much to
desire fame or profit by injuring their reoutation,
or.wounding their feelings. For your own s ke, for
-the honour of the Stage, abstain from such prac-
tices—leave them to Quacks, Lottery-puffers, and
Blacking-makers.

" 'low's, dear Elliston, sincerely,
" April Bth, 18,2 a. " H. DO1VION."

THE THBATKR.—MiSS S. BOOTH, who, on ac-
count partly of her health, has been absent from
town about two vears,,resumed her station last
night at Covent Garden Theatre, in the character
of Juliet. Her health seems to be quite recover-
ed, and her acting seems evidently to be improved.
—The public have seen. her chiefly in comic cha-
racters, and perhaps the audience last night were
rather surprised to see her to such advantage in a
character so different from her usual province.—
We can Hs3lll e our Readers that she supported
the part with simplicity and tenderness through-
out, nor was there the least want of animation in
scenes that demanded an impassioned exertion.—
She received a hearty welcome, and was much ap-
plauded.—Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Romeo was a perfor-
mance of great excellence.

CHURCH PRE?ERMENTS.—Dr. Hodson, Dean of Chester,
is to have the Deanery of Carlisle ; Dr. Vaughan; Warden of
Merton College, Oxford, to be made Dean ~f Chester.

CATHOLIC AFFAIRS.

ADDRESS OF THE CATHOLICS TO TIIE KING

The Earl of }JNGALL, a Nobleman, sitliotre
character gives additional dignity to his mission,
is, we understand, about to proceed to London,
with the Address of the Catholics of Ireland
to the King, and, howeVer numerous the
Docis-
ments of a similar nature, forwarded to the
'lloone, since the late melancholy event, may
he, we cannot b.it eveein that of Whicb the
Noble Earl is the bearcr, as cleir'vert to com-
mand particolar attention. - It collies not like
those which have preceded it, from those stand-
jog erect within the pale of the Constitution, en-
joying all its blessings, and grateful for the co-
j,,yurent ; but from a vast and iofittentiai Body„,
sho may be fairly said to constitute the People of
Ireland, deprived by the dark policy of a less en-
lightened period of their legitimate rank in the
State—yet, wlio aitho.igh thus excluded, are as
eievo,ed to the maintenance ot the admirable In•
s.titutions of this Empire, as any other class of
its inhabiraots. When we consider the high
cultivation and liberality of mind, that elevates
his present Majesty above the gloomy prejudi:!es
which engendered the Penal Code, we are strong-
ly inclined to hope :hat he will seize the oppor-
tunity of signalizing. the opening of his Reign,
by recommending to his Parliament the Eman-
cipation of the Catholics, an act which will
reflect lustre upon his character, in the eyes
ot the latest posterity, independent of the gra-
titude which such a measure would exact from
the great hotly immediately benefited there-
by ; it is not presumptuous in us to assert,
that it world meet will) the unmixed appro-
bation of the great majority of our Protes-
tant Brethren, ro prove which, we need only re-
fer to the fact that were the Question to have
been decided by the Irish Representatives, Who
wrist he allowed to possess the best means of
judging of the prohriety of Concession, it would
have long since been carried most triumphantly.
Indeed, the prompt concession of this intportant
measure is now called for even on the score of
national vanity, for how can we continue to assume
the pre•eminencein liberality of sentiment, which
we tray so fairly claim on almost every other
point over the other Countries of Europe, when
the mere allusion to the existence of this bigotted
Code gives the lie so directly to our pretensions,
and which the various Foreign Journals either
assail ns with taunts, or wound us, indirectly, by
the publication of some striking fact, illustrative
of the high degree of Toleration which 'exits
amongst the Nations of the Continent.—(Dubin
Evening Post, April 8.)
