SIR—I-laving this day observed in the Lorilnn Newspaper,, as
alio:4on, by a Member of the Coniinuti Council of that cite to
a letter said to have been written to the Corporation of Qh:gow,
to induce them to illuminate on the avproaching OCC3iioli 01 his
Majesty's entering into the LOth year of Lib reign, I think it right
to se ate, for the: iiiformation of the public, I.nel t., ecri•ecr aiie: pre-
vent erroneous conclusions, that, on or about of .-lu6l,
I received an .anonymous letter, of which the toliowing is a if-
Tr. a/I t. copy. This letter has the London poNt-mark en the i.irL
August on it i and the London postage was charged. lai :hilik
it right to state, that I never recriyed any other letter on the sub-
ject.-1 am, Sir, your plus: obedient servant,

was given out Yesterday, that the High Priest of the
Jews had positively issued a prohibition against any
of the twelve tribes of Israel attending at this Thea-

however, did not appear to consider them absent—

raised, 41 Out with the Jews !" and this continued till
the kat drop of the curtain, at the end of the after-
piece of Rwisse, which of tours* was "only seen, not
heard. •

The placards were much more numerous than on
auy preceding night since the commencement of the '
Contest. We noticed the following :
" JOON Kesatmr, thre the Jews, has gain'd applause,

But we will follow the holy band,
And shew that Christians shall command!"
