THIRD THEATRE.
Mr. WHITBREAD hoped that the Nob* Lord
t' Lord Ossulston) would postpone the motion for the
second reading of this Bill till Monday next, in eon-
Aueoce of the indisposition of a Right Honourable
Gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) who was much inter-
ested in it.

Lord OSSULSTON could not consent to post-
pone the second reading pf the Bill any longer. After
a variety of observations on the more ample accom-
modation that the increased population of.this greet
- required, he concluded by moving, that the Bill
the establishment of a third Theatre be now read
econd time.
Mr. PETER MOORE said, that notwithstanding
that the population of the Metropolis had increased
considerably, the number of Oty-going people
seemed rather to have dtcreased. The recepts of
houses were now less than they were formerly,
although the expence had considerably increased. He
conceived that this application went to supersede the
Royal prerogative, which alone was entitled to give
permission to new-Playhouses. He WAS by no means
winced that the play-going people or London
wanted more accommodationthan two good Theatres
would afford. He therefore moved, that the second
reading be postponed to this day six months.
Lord OSSULSTON defended the 8,11, aad
Sued against the monopoly which, be said, atpreorma
asisted. He particularly alladed to the combo a
