Mr. Kemble then observed, that there had
been a certain number of Private Rotes in the
late Theatre, and wished to know whether, If the

a number retained as existed before the &striae.

derstand to be the public wish.[llere there was
a load cry of " O. P. ! 0. IF. !" " Hear IS

stance of the whole conversation between us.
—1 hare now only one 'observation to make:
This is a victory obtained by the Public,
and as it has ever been the character of English.
men, to contend with energy for victory, so also,
has it at all times been their character to use that
victory with moderation! [This was followed
by loud and lung continued applause!] I re.
member an expression of Mr. Sheridan at the last
Westminster Election, " John Ball," said be,
66 is often wrung-headed, bat I never yet have
64 known him wrong-hearted." And although
it certainly is an important object to have
your public entertainment at the 'fbeatre, on
such a principle as you think to ha right,
I am sure you would despise yourselves as
wanting magnanimity' if you were to insist on
having it on terms inconsistent with the rea-
sonable interest of the Proprietors."—[l.oed
kuzzas, clapping, some hissing, and 0. P.
from a great number of voices; and one son
said, very audibly, " bat no Old Prices."
After a short conversation between Mr. C r ifford
and Mr. Kernble, the former again rising, said,
" Mr. Kemble, since I spoke, has desired me to
say, that if what I have mentioned meets your up.
probation, he pledges his honour that it shall be
performed." [No! No! 11'0!]
A note was handed to Mr. Kimble, mach
noise ensued, and a whistle was heard.
Mr. CLIFFORD.—" It has been hinted to
me, which 1 did not mention, that all legal pro-
crediugs on both sides ought to be dropped, be.
cause if there be a reconciliaties it should be
complete."
Mr. FILE.-.." Gentlemen, It seems to be the
general wish of the company that the reposition
which has been made should be acceded to; but
it also seems to be the general deterwiioation ,to
insist that the price of admission to the Pit shall
be reduced to 3s. Gd. ; that the Private Boxes
shall be laid open as they formerly were; said on
account of the very bed behaviour of Mr. Bran.
dun so the public, that his dismissal shall take place.
[Loud hussar, clapping, and more general sap.
probation than what had been yet manifestal.l
At thesseue time those pith whom I have ha
comumuicatioti, request sac to say, that they ac.
cede to the price of i's. for the Buses.— lasses
from fume parts of the room, O. P. 0. P. clap.
ping and applause.]...And, for this liberality on
the part of the Public, they do expect front the
Proprietors and Managers an apology foe the in..
suit that has been offered, by their conduct, to
the Public at large." This speech was concluded
amidst thunders of applause, but much clamour
followed ; and 0. P. 0, P. was vociferated by •
majority of the Compass.. This lasted for near
10 minutes, when Mr. Clifford proposed as a
Toast
THE LIBERTY Of THE SUBJECT.
Which was drank with the enthusiasm that such a
sentiment mast naturally excite.
Mr. CLIFFORD—" I beg leave to inform
you, that Mr. Kenste has authorised ins to say,
on the part of the Proprietors and Managers, that
anxious to inset the wishes of the Public, they
will comply with the conditions expressed by the
gentleman who has just sat down, with one ex-
ception ; not having himself any authority, vu the
sobj..ct of' Mr. Brandon's dismissal ; he cannot
undertake fur the compliance of the Proprietors,
but to the other terms he immediately and directly
accedes---[" What Ore the terms," exclaimed
from all parts of the r00m..), The terms acceded
to, is I understand them, are to lower the prices
of the Pit to 3s. 6d. the andent price,—that the

man —II limas, clapping, and let, gee 1]- -What
addition has been made to the number of Private
Buses since Mr. Kenible came to the Theatre, is
not within my own knowledge. I was not
aware of the difference—but as there seems
to be a difference of opinion on this subject,
1 really think it would be advisable, as Mr. Kemble
has beard what your opinion is here, that ho
should report it to the Proprietors, and thee
let them state what their opinions are. [No! no!
no ! hisses, and clamour, and the whistle !] I am
afraid that I hare been misunderstorid, Mr. Kern.
ble has assured me of his great desire to comply
with the wishes of the Public; he only nishes,
instead of giving his own opinion uuw, that a day
or two sissy be allueed him to consult, and then
state the opinions of the Pruerieturs asid Mana-
gers." [No! 110 ! no ! clantuar and hisses—not
one Private Box, except fur the Proprietors and
Managers.]
Mr. CLIFFORI).--" I am desired to submit
fur your apprUbatiou a proposition, which

eta sore you will think reasonable. If you will
permit the Committee who have been appointed to
receive " Subscriptions" to retire, and to sketch
out a short proposal on the part of the Public—if
you will refer it to them—they will return in less
than ten minutes." [This was followed by ap-
plause and exclamations of fair! fair but was
also accompattied with sonic hissing, and expres-
sions of disapprobation]
The Members of the Committee having rctired—
The amnia ant in4i,putlisle. Right of the Pit,
was given by the Chairmin, and drank with al-
',rut universal applause. We say drawl, for the
sentiment was manifestly unexpected by Mr.
Kemple, who appeared to be absorbed in reflec-
tion until the applause had subsided. The setiti-
meat is not howeTvr new, for it Was recognized
and admitted by th.' Great Garrick.
After this tout a Gentleman of the 11411 C of
Jones favoured the company with a song, which,
for Intrinsic merit, and the great humour with
which it was sung, greatly surpassed what we
hare usually heard at Public Meetings : nor did
any Gentleman appear more gratified by the per-
formance than Mr. Kemple.

[Loud huzzas, accompanied by clamour.]
Mr. CLIFFORD.--.." Before Mr. Kemhle
entered this room I infutsned you that he was in
attendance, and received from you an assurance
that he won't, be treated with civility—that
asetorance, I am sure, you will fulfil, and
I trust I may be permitted to say) that any
breach of it I should consider as a ►nark of un-
kindness to myself-4[ond h't-ca•, Certainly! yes!

that has passed, k solicitous to address a few
words on the subject, previous to his retiring to
prepare what he may deem it proper to publish

have, therefore, only to request that with which
I am sure you will comply—that you will hear
him with that attention, and, on hip deptrtnre,

Mr. KEMBIX then rose amidst the plaudits of
the Company, they were loud and almost univer.
sal, some
,fete hisses were heard—the plaudits
continued for some time, during which, Mr.
Kembie repeatedly bowed to the Company. The
applause having ceased, he addressed them in the
following words
Gentleinen-i.lt becomes my ditty to with-
draw, in order to prepare fur intblicatiou in the
Newspapers, what is necessary to be slid on the
Propositions, which have llgen so fortunate
as to meet your approbation, and which I hope
will lay .the foundation of a reconciliation
between the Public and the Proprietors of the
Theatre. [.lpplause.] Permit me to return you
my very best thanks fur the kind and pulite treat-

The. appearance of Mr. Kent/le in a company
of what his Friends, his Piittirlull, his hired
Newspapers, his Counsel, and a Learoed Judge
have designated by the epithet " 4 Rioters,"
was alike creditable to his nerve and to his
judgment. And, althonjh he did not as-
ettete that lofty and co nataudlng attitude in
in which he ventures to accost the Yokels!' Chief
is the midst of that army, who, like the people
at the Theatre, he had so surely bruised, his recep-
tion, was not less generous ur respectful by the
British Public than by the Viilscien Chief. There
wanted but one accompaniment, a manly, candid
iseltoowledgment of !wring committed a wif's
offence against the Public, WO a dignified expres.
sion of sorrow and regrm. Th., recoecilivion had
then been cordial and perfect fur e het h id passed.
But so far from this, it is only through Mr. Clif-
ford's communication that such sorrow is ex-
pressed. The introduction of " hired persons,"
of whose presence, Mr. Ketnble asserts, that he
was ignorant until the next day, he lamented—but
there were Gentlemen in that room, who, !luring
the 80 nights that followed the intrutlactiim of
hired persons, .have been beaten, insetted, and
imprisoned. Will .l r. Kemble proved to assert
his ignorance of the nightly continuance of
those practices from the day on which he
first saw the aceunnt in the newspapers ?
Was be ignorant of the existence or them,
even to the very moment at which lie was
I speaking.--at that 'cry moment the Company in
1 the Pit were tiekiug out some Ruffians from the

but from what ow could judge of the temper of th-
Meeting yesterday, peace will not be resentful, se
long as Seven Shillings shall continue to be de-
manded, for the inferior accoinniodatious of those
parts of the House.
There is assothA. point on which we shall make
one passing observation. If the' Proprietors
think that their active Agent, Mr. James limn.
don, can be retained in any situation whatever
about the Theatre, in defiance of that article
which stipulates fur his dismissal, with the eon.
scut and toleration of the Psiblic, we apprelletid
that they will find elieniseivis to have been grossly
deceived.
Mr. J. Brandon has been the active instrument
of the Proprietors, still althoueh he may have
acted only iu obedience to command, 1w was nut
tied to the service. And any men who nut being
bound by the nature of his service to the elects-
lion of the commands of his superiors, be they
lawful or unlawful, reasonahle or firir..a.,mahle
perseveres in a system of outrage, such as t,t,tt
which Mr. Brandon has been the organ, must ex-
pect to incur the resentment of an insulted public.
The visit of Mr. Kemble to the Meeting at the
Crown and Anchor was prudent, wife, and man!,
...let nut the Proprietors mar the effect of that
judicious measure, 111• blvitiking from that liberal
censttuctiou of thit fesavesi tines► whisla.caorsetool:
ensure a perfect reconciliation with the public.
The peo:de of England have been nmalted in this
remarkable dispute more grossly than in any in.
staw.e on historical record—anti the moderation
and
.forbearance displayed by th-m hlte b:•en ab-
solutely astonishing. Oases Mr. K. after his visit,be-
lieve that if there bad bee's au, thing approaching to
conspiracy amongst even the 500 persons whom he
savr, a most isicult-iderable portion of the eines.
sition, that the safety of the persons, or even the
lives of the hired linfliatis euela be insured ?
lie cannot beli.:ve it. To talk then of a conspi-
racy of the Public is infatuated absurdity.
• From the Crown and Anchor, Mr. Kemble im.
mediately proceeded to
THE TREATII2,
at which were performed 7 Provoked Hes-
band, and Tom 'thumb. Previous to Mr. Lem.
ble's errival, a Gentleman had announced the
concession of Mr. Kemble at the l rown and
Anchor,—this information was received with
three rheas, and " Irembk, Kemble," ,vas loud-
ly vociferated. A Gentleman from ilaxes at
this tinte.coschely communicated what had passed
at the Crown and Anchor, which was received
with great applause.
At length Mr. Kemble made his appearance on
the stage, and was received with great applause.
Ho apologised for his dress, and expressed, with
some degree of animation, the satisfaction he felt
at communicating the issue of the ',mg-protracted
struggle-between the Public and the Proprietors,
whose sorrow at the irregularities that had taken
place, he begged leave sincerely to express. He then
stated the particulars of the proeositions,but did not
mention thitiame of Mr. Brandon, who; however,
shortly alter appeared on the Stage, accompanied
by 14.1 r. Harry Harris. Mr. Harris, addressing

'nth important Treaty, of which thn prelimi-
