SIR,—Having perceived an. Advertisement in your Jour-
nal,K.) stating that the " Amphitheatre, Liverpool, on
account of its great success, would continue open for eighteen
representations more," &c., &c., allow ine to inform you,
that no part of no, Establishment or Stud of Horses have
any connexion with the present Management. This state-
ment I deem necessary, lest the generous patrons and sup-
porters of my productions should accuse use of misleading
them, by false announcements of closing at one period and
renewing at another. The favour of giving publicity to the
above will oblige,
Yours, respectfully, to command,
