since the mond visit of Mr. Knox.* to the Office
of The Times, given a correct account of what from a whoir sheet, containing (by computation)
has occurred in the present extraordinary contest about 80 :
between the Proprietors avid the I'eople. In a T O.

.Now we appeal to those who ware at th'elThea-
Ire on Tuesday evening, whether it is not an- ab.
solute falsehood that horns, trumpet', Axe. wore'
used during the performance ," The dieapproba.
Hun of the audience was first excited by the fotatin&,
in of Mr.Taxi.ott's sung—and certainly from that
moment the pertormance on the stage was inaudi-
ble ; but no instruments, such as horns, bells, Or
rattles, were heard—until after the perforuiance
on the stage was concluded, nor until an impn.
dent challenge of Me Fireman to the whole House
had provoked a general tumult. This worthy
!harlequin forgot to tell the public of this fact,
and of the subsequent expulsion of the Sons of
Israel---and we feel no hesitation in asserting,
that this acconnt in the Courier (who has,
we understand, as well as the trimming Times,
and we cannot with propriety repeat Gos-
pel l'ost—seen his error) is a statement
of falsehood, misrepresentative, and suppres-
sion of facts. If a Newspaper nndertakes
to report a public proceeding, it is an imperious
duty to adhere to truth ; opinions on such pro.
ceedings every one has a right publicly to main-
tain, however they may be in opposition to
each uthate bet toe say—let the NIA& •ker:e

to those who were present.
We yeqerday had neither spacre nor time to
give our Readers the Reply of The Times and
Post, to the placard which we stated to have
been ealiibited at the Theatre on Tuesday
" The Times and Peg are bought :ad gni&

questions which I should wish to submit to your

When Mr. Ketitide stated the cote for the opineuit of

muds of punishing (how a how he called theft iotera,
1
did he state that the Proprietors of the Theatre.
were themselves the authors of all the disturbances''
which had taken place, by hula„ • peofessi,mal
pugilists to beat those who had ;mid for their ad-
mission ? You see the part they act, and our lives
arc nightly endangered by their ruffianly conduct. '
It therefore behoves us to act with firmness and
innderatiun, to resist their violence, and evade
their stratagems. Let us be unanimous and per-
severe, and victory is certain. ( Loud uccistosn-
lions.) I would B,k Mr. Kemblo whether his
conduct was honourable towards an individual,
and the public, when he went to the Bank and
prevailed upon the Directors to use their authority
to prevent the future attendance of Mr. Lee at
the Theatre?"

The Publie have been told that Mr. I,cr, the
I Gentleman who, at the co-nmeacement of the
contest at Covent Garden Theatre was, in come.
quence of an application from the Managers, de-
sired by his employers, in common with the other
Clerks of the Bank, to take no part in the lis.
pate. It is farther stated, that thuse Gentlemen
hare, In consequence, entered into an unanimous
resolution, to which they have bound themselves
under penalties, not to attend the Theatre at all,
during the &mulld for advanwd prices. On an
application having been made at some of the Go-
vernmeni Offices fur an injunction to the Clerks,
in regard to their conduct at skitants of this The-
titre, the reply was," that Ow Getitl6:tnett of those.
offices were nut responsible to their employers fill
any part of their conduct bat such as related to
Ute b.tsiness of their desks."
