THEATIiICAL FiIAeAS.

Yesterday sennight, the Liverpool Theatre was
opened. for the season, with the Play of Coriolanus, in
which Mr. NDEN HOFF made his first appearance
on his re-engagement in the theatrical company. A
number of persons in the nouse, anxong wham were
several individuals from lanchester, were very voci-
ferous in behalf-of Mr. SALTER, who had been dis-
ri aced to make room for Mr. VA NDF.NIIOFF, who, the
Managers weiN of opinion, was preferred by the Li-
verpool. public. On Mr. VANDEN;IOFF making his
appearance the expressions of applause and disappro.
bation were seSch as to astound. the: mitoses and defy
all description. In a short time-Mr. SALTER entered
the upper side-boxes, and was received amidst a tu-
multuous discordance of friendship. and. opposition.
The uproar continued long after thecurtain had fallen
for the night ; some instances of violence occurred,
and at last rive forms were torn up in the gallery, and
thrown low the pit. Fortunately the first of them
did no personal damage, but it had the instant effect
of clearing the pit, and then the police officers showed
the door to those in the boxes, and gallery. Ou Tues-
day night the di§turbance was sillt axwe ykolent, al-
though in a thinner House. The aciivapartisans of the
two performers seemed to have possession of the field,
and, as on the preceding evening, nothing of the Play
or Farce could be heard, except one song from Miss
IIaMMMEESLEY, which, for a moment, lulled the storm.

was abused for his interference. When the coach arrived at
Hyde Writ-corner, the prosecutor requested the coachman to
Stop, and he desired the defendant, wbo'was then the toll.col-
lector, to measure the luggage. Defendant replied, that he had
nothing to do with the luggage. 'The case being madg out, as
the Act commands that the toll-collector shall measure the lug-
gage when required, and it is not to exceed a certain height, an/
in default the offender shall be fined I'S. The defendant in his
defence nid; he was quite ignorant of the Act, and the prose-
cutor net pressing the matter, Sir R. BiEng said he should sot
enforce the penalty, as the defendant did it ignorantly. The in-
formation was then withdrawn by the prosecutor. Thee of the
lessees of the road being present, undertook to provide measures
for-the different toll-colketors an' the road, for the purpose of
measuring the luggage on coaches.
