1 CIVIC 7111117111 R.
Two meetings have, It seems, taken place In the
City, for the purpose of erecting a Theatre, east
of Tempie.har. A petition to 'the Crown, It is
said, is actually drawing op, hembly praying for
a licence, to which will be attached tiss. MUSICS of
some ut the first characters the capital, who
have put down their signateres to sums amounting
to 250,0001. to be applied towards carrying the
andertakiag ins, elect.
The Petitiossers state, as the ground.of their
application, that all monopolies are injurious,
and prevent that kind of fair sad spirited competi-
tion by which the public are always benefited ;
and that since the limitation of two Theatres to the
capital, Loudon has increased nearly three fourths
in extent and population, so that those who wish
to partake of the rational amusements of the Dra.
ma are nearly deprived of that pleasure, from the
distance to the present established Theatres, In the
winter season—a grievance which is particularly
felt by those citizens• who do out keep their car-

nages.
The Theatre is Weeded to be built in a most
magnificent style. The proposed scite is said to
be that part of the estate of Lord RA DNOK, on
the south side of Fleet-street, of which Bouverie-
'street and Water.lane, with the unoccupied space
of ground at the bottom of the former, is a part.
The idea is to purchase the leases of the interim,.
aisle houses fronting Fleet.strort, and form an
elegant e, ascent. The Theatre to be placed in the
Centre of this crescent, with a grand colonnade
leading to it on each side from Fleet.streq. Thus
I the whOle will he rendered a conspicuous ornament
' to the capital, as the building will strike the eye
of every permit' passing cast or west along Fleet.

The petition to the Crown. it is said, is to con.
