TO CALL •

" Mr. Culktt uests Mr. Dralard will to the
gentlemen who have signed the requisition to the make
Sheriff,known requesting
him to call a County bleeting,to consider of the propriety of
ing the Legislature on the subject of the Malt and Beer Taftetts,tra;
be (Mr. C.) yesterday, the Ist of Dec. received the following letter
from the Sheriff. It is for them to determine if they will
submit to this refusal, or take ether means of calling a meeting.
The reasons given for refusing to call the meeting,—tbe requisition
for which was more respectably signed than any one ever presented
to any Sberiff,—appear moat unsatiaractory and incorrect ; Inas-
much as the " severe pressure under which all classes in the king-
dom are now labouring," is misunderstood ; the fundholders and
annuitants having actually a benefit, being themselves untaxed, and
the landowner overwhelmed.

" Sza—l have the honour to acknowledgethe receipt of your
letter, accompanying the requisition for a County Meeting, to con-
sider the propriety of pedtioning the Legislature oa the subject of
the Malt and Beer Taxes.
" I am as fully alive as any of the gentlemen who have signed
the requisitions can be, to the severe pressure under which all
clams in the kingdom are now labouring ; and I have a decided
opinion, that the weight of taxation falls with more than an average
pressure on the agricultural classes. and I strongly feel the neces-
shy of some measure for their relief. At the same time, lam
convinced that the exigencies of the country must, during this re•
cess of Parliament, have irresistibly drawn the attention of his
Majesty's Government to the state of the kingdom in all its chasm
and I feel averse to any measure which has a tendency to ember-
rasa them by claiming any particular description of reUef until the
country shall have been made acquainted with the result of the
deliberations of those who may he considered as having the whole
connecte4 subject before them.
" Poe the above reasons I must beg to decline naming a day for
the County Meeting as requested, and have the honour to remain,
Sir, your most obedient,

ENGLIMITHEATRICALS IN HOLLAND.—An English
Theatrical Company has been lately established in Hol-
land, performing alternately at Amsterdam and the
Hague. Mr. Aubrey, the Manager, by offers of liberal
terms, had formed a very respectable company. The
performances commenced the beginning of last month,
when Mr. KEAN, junior, performed Young Norval with
great applause. Miss F. H. KELLY arrived soon after,
and appeared on the 19th in the part of Juliet, Mr.
KEAN playing Romeo. The house was crowded, and
the performances was received with so much applause,
that it was repeated at the Hague on the following Sa-
turday, the King and Queen of the NETHERLANDS and
the Prince and Princess of ORANGE forming part of the
auditory. The company returned to Amsterdam, for
the purpose of performing there on the following Tuesday,
but were thunderstruck to find that the Manager had dis-
appeared with all the money that had been received. A
meeting of the performers was held, when Miss F. H.
KELLY, to save those of the company who had no means
of support from the dreadful consequences of the Ma-
nager's desertion, offered to bear the whole expences,
and pay the performers their full salaries for a month,
provided Mr. KEAN would give his gratuitous services
during that period—a proposal to which he instantly
agreed ; but some of the performers not approving of the
arrangement, it was not carried into effect ; and it is now
apprehended, that after having commenced with so much
premise, the undertaking will be entirely abandoned after
performing four nights in aid of the poorer members of
the company, for which benevolent purpose Mr. KEAN
and Miss F. H. KELLY have given their services
gratuitously.
