RIOT AT THE HATIMILIT THIATCIII ot, the
Devil among the Tafinrs.—lt having been given out
in the bills of yeflerday, that the revival Entertain-
ment of the Tailor: w-uld be pet formed, f..r the bene•
fit of hiri-Dow-rom, a conliderable number of perfons
(about 700), chiefly Galles s, were waiting to gain ad-
mittance to the Theatre, at the opening of the doors.
The; chiefly went into the galleries. The utmnft
noire and confution prevailed until nine o'clock. Mr.
PALMER appeared before the audiench to requell the
cattle of their difapprobation' • but he was hided off,
as was alfo Mr. Ettarrna. Mr. DOWTON at length
made his appearance, and anted the audience their
avithes thould be complied with, and written bills were
diltributed through every part of the Home, hating
that the Tailor: was withdraws, and the Tillage Law-
yer fubfiittited in its (lead. This had not the defied
eifea, although the fame was made known without
the 'Theatre, and Mr. Dowrom again made his ap
pearance before the audience, when a penknife was
thrown at him from the galleries, and he offered a
reward of xcl. for the apprchenfion of the offender.
Mr. GRAHAM, the Magistrate, had by this time ar-
rived, and the rioters were affailed by Thompf,n and
Gregory, Confiables of the Theatre ; and, aided by
others, they to,,k feveral of the ringleaders into chi
tody.—This, with the arrival of a detachment of the
Honk G lards from Whitehall, damped the fpirits of
the offenders, and about fifty of them were cart ied
away in coaches. A cnnfiderable mob flopped the
paffage of the Theatre, and the Guards were ordered
to keep order in the flreets, while Conflables were
placed in different parts of the Houfe.—Catharine and
Petra:l4o was then performed, during which the ma-
jori• y of the audience often called for the Sailor:, and
they were affored by the managers they Should be
gratified, provided the fcene with the tailor, in the
piece that was then afting, did not create dianrbance.
The piece being finished, all was anxiety for another
attempt at the `Jailors, and on the curtain being drawn
up greater confufinn was never witneffed in any The-
atre. Loud vociferationc of every kind were heard,
and a very Prong oppnfitinn was again manifetted ;
the Conilabier took feveral others into cufirilly, and
the piece was finished about half pall twelve o'clock.
I'irefday two wretchedly depraved females, who
had been refilled warrants arlainfl each other at a
Police Office, agreed to fight a pitched battle, in
Spa-fi.-lds, by way of fettling their differences.—
They accordingly repaired to a convenient !pat,
accompan'ed by Several wretches of the other fez,
and wee Suffered to heat and bruife each other till
they were inapabte of moving. The fellows who
had' feconded them next tried their (kill, while the
poor wretches lay Weeding and broiled upon the
gr'und. The fecund fight, however, was but of
!bort duration, as a conitable came up, and threat-
ened them with the Bade of Correftion, if they per-
fitted. The two women, were placed in a coach,
Ima:ting under the beating they had given each other,
and v ere conveyed away to the neighbourhood of
&Ann Hill.

Wednefday a pitched battle was fought at Marfden
Green, between George Smith, a London pugiliii,
and a cotintrytnan of the name of Harris. This
match was made between fome of the link fportfmen
at the late contelf between Caleb and Ryan, in con•
fequence of the countryman, as a cafual fpalator,
having received a blow from his prefent opponent.—
At felting to, Harris received fome hard hits, with-
out having an opportunity of returning them with ef-
fett. Smith had the bell of the battle until the loth
round, when he became weak, and the countryman,
nom ithtlanding he was fevetcly punifited during the
fight, gave him tome of the hardelt blows ever wit-
neffed, and was finally declared the viitor, after a
hard cilutelt of 4o minutes. _ _ _
