COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

We feel much pleasure in announcing to our
Readers, the total absence of riot at this Theatre
last night. The 0. P.s became the conservators
of the peace, which has su repeatedly been broken
by the agents of the Proprietors.
The Comedy of Juhn Bull was performed with.
out any material interruption till the third Aqt—
from that time the disapprobation of the Pit,
Bozos, and Galleries, was su decidedly manifested,
that nothing more of the Play, or the Farce of
The Farmer was distinctly audible. Neither
horns nor rattles were introduced, bnt the hiss►st
and exclamations of the Company completely
drowned the voices of the Actors.

At the commencement of the second price the
company who entered were saluted with a gymnas-
tic display of attitude, technieally termed squer.
ing, by several of the Ruffian Corps, who, in
defiance of all decency, on the part of the Pro-
prietors, are nightly suffered to infest the Pit.
Almost every person who entered at the side.doors
was saluted with a challenge from some sue of
these gladiators, who, *dramas% in a puguacieus
attitude, demanded of the surprised spectator,
"If he had a mind for any thing !" One of them
proceeded so fur as to strike a Gentleman of the
name of Williams, and another, had disengaged
himself from the ineumbrances of coat and waist-
coat, appearing stripped, ready for a,•tion ; and
had any opponent appeared, had doubtless made
no scruple of still further desiticumbering himself,
and appearing before the company in purit nabs.
ratibus. Mr. Williams on being assa.iltai,
mediately left the Theatre, and applied e.: Bow.
street fur a warrant, where he of course was ia.
successful, nut knowing the name of the Haien
who had struck him. Information was at the
sane time gistess to W. Baldwin, Esquire, the
Magistrate present, of the Genrfemens who was fi.
guring away in his shirt. At the expiration
of about 15 minutes, it was determined to send
an officer to lock Alter this worth•, but on his
urrival, it was found that he had pet his cloth's
on. A body of about 30 of time ruffians, true►
the founder) iu Queen.s.reet, occupied seats on
the lower benches of the Pit—these v.•rmttt, as
we have already stated, squared indiscriminately
at the persons w Ito entered the Pit at half-price.
At length a number of Gentlemen, to whom the
persons and names of these fellows were fa.
tallier, took stations near them, and, addressing
several by name, gave them notice that
their conduct ;v.'s watched, and that if they
committed any outrage, immediate applicatioa
would be made fora warrant. The effect which
this measure produced was instantaneous. Pace
and eider were restaged. A council of war Wes
then held by them foosalery men, and they
shifted their places to dilietemt parts of the Pit, 4.
