TIIE LONDON STAGE.

The alterations, says a Morning Paper, in the
dramatis persuiur of both the whim. Theatres will
be greater the ensuing season dish at any former
period. The Managers, it seems, are ceMpelled
to reduce the stipends of most of the principal per-
formers, to which the latter demur, and decline
engaging•upon the terms proposed.
We seldom interfere its disputes between Ma,-
nagers and Performers. but we have certainly to
regret the loss of very many of our etablished
favourites, in- consequence of the nifty arrange-
ments .of the former, on whatever grounds they
may be founded. There Will be disengaged from
the two Winter Theatres, a Company in every
respect as good and efficient as either of those re-
tained by. them. We have already published a
list of excaent Performers cut adrift, and thtown
idler out of their profession or upon the pro-
vincial boards, after they have so.successfully
adorned the Metropolitan Stage. To these we
remark the Morning Papers add the nalne of
Mr. CONWAY, of Covent-Garden, a Gentleman
Who has risen to eminence, and obtained so
full a share of public favour as 'not to he ba•
wished without causing at least a feeling of ills,
Pleasure. Fur the public takes a strong interest
in the welfare of those who contribute largely to
its enjoyments, • and Performers occupy a much
more remittent space in general Opinion than any
other. class of men, however numerous or kn.;
portant. Their motions are chronicled, and they
live constantly in the eye of the world. And this
is our apology for noticing these matters-i-t hey are.
not the mete property of Managers, but the prO,
tegis of the publie and we are sore we only
express the sentiments of the town when we la-
meta thk any circumstances should deprive it of
the talent and services of the Gentleman to whom,
we have alluded.
