COVENT-GARDEN 1411E4 7'lM

We wait with anxious inipattenct for the acconnt,
of last-night's pro/itc, which are to he det °led to
the " fitt4d of the Society fur the relief of prisitiers
confined fur small &Ins."

tVheit the curtain rose, the account of
64 empty lioteA" was "beggarly" beyonit what
we ever saw in one of the regular Theatres.
The Basket was empty; and even the front " rows
of fashion" could not be made to wsntne the ap-
pearance of fullness, by all the ntts of I niinginig
extension. The chasm in the Pit exterdrd firms

the Boxes to within ten rows of the stage. The
seven shillings galleries, called slips, were totally
uninhabited. In itite seven 'billings pigeun.holes
nu- pigeon were visible. The number of the
spectators slowly increased, and at the half pri
there was an aeression, and but a slight one, to the
number in the Pit and Mores. After half price we
could nut enumerate beyond 300 in the Boxes...
and about 400 in the Pit,—amongst these latter
we include raffians, hired retainers and police
officers. Whether, even the erliegen of Me
House were taken in money, we think more than
doubtful; the Proprietors will therefktb. he con-
strained to draw sport their treasury to iireierve
appearances. Coots, Its Sir Perlin' s. lifactyco.
pliant, was hailed with laud applause, and listened
to with profound attention. Mr. CHA aLEs K
et.e, in Egerton, was invariably rccei'ed with
hisses, groans, and execrations. The entertain-
ment of the Jubtke was g•rt op for the occg,sion ;.„
what the performer's said or sung, we inow
not—
they werL, inaudible. The concluding scene repre-
:tented the stern and perspective .irie of a three.
decker in harbour, si:rruunded with ',lnklings, in.
tended to represent a Town illuminated. But the
h.tuses seemed on
.fire, reher than illuminated.
The three decker having discharged her guns, the
Duke of YOU'S band came on, followed by sul.
fliers and sailors bearing standards, un which were
the I 01 lo wing inscriptions :

Gibral tar —Setinznpittain— A lexandria
Slaida—V iiriwrs—Qeebec
Cape St. Vincent—The Nile—Trafalgar
Tie Chantorl—Th Noah Seas—laths
Asittl'ommetTe—Atitarfacteres
Sheffield—Biralingtiams—Nonsich—M-tochester
The Arts—Nlusit •-Paintieg
Atrie..lture—Patri,.tisrn—Lovalty
Uianiirtity -Nalnur—ltberality—Vsceilom.

The Pied concluded with " Rule Brirannia,"
' and " God Save the King," in which the aildience
joined, but the curtain fell amidst en accon►ulated
-roirof disapprobation, which might I►ave drakes
the ill.exccuted concave of thardnims of the Thea.
trc.

No disturbarice lees inselietted in %the Theatre
until the Peace-OAcers broke the peace, by drag.
ging out two persi:til who had hissed and hooted.
This roused the company it, the Pit to resistance.
The offieeeg were orserpenvered in every subsequeht
attempt, and finally compelled to evacnate the
Pit. The opposition then reigned triumphant.
Several placards made their appearance Its usual,
and were handed abon't unmolested, except in one
instance, when the individual oPpersibg was in.
stantly expelled with much violence.

TO THE EDITOR or THE ST4TES3I.I.V.

Sin..-In looking into Mr. TlCliVes
Chart, just published, of the reign of CEO. 111.
from the Accession to the Jubilee, I find that the
National Debt was, in 1761, Di millions, and that
it now amounts to the trying sum urn ,437,7.161.
Bs. 2,d. ! bearing an interest of 26,236,8291. 181.
4id. In the same useful Publication I find, that
for the first ten years of this Reign, the Peck-loaf
on the average of a year, was never more Own
2s. Biil. (Bd. for the Quurtern loaf), and the first
year It was only Is. 64 (W. for the Qulrterts
loaf). Every housekeeper can tell %%hat it has
been for the last ten years, and what it is at this
moment, 164 d.
Sir, your's, &c.

Those persons who are imprisoned upon the
oaths of Dotal' SAN and Ma associates, declare they
will not partake of Mr. K twines bounty of yes.
terday evening, as they bare already been tou much
Jewbelied.

Several eminent Barristers have been advertised
ea retained by the Covent Garden Managers.
When we bear of s writer being retained, he is
called corrupt; but venality is essential to the he-
-Row of a Barrister!
