The Ilsoptietors expected that. the effervescence
of the popular feeling which manifested itself so
loudly en Tuesday would have subsided last night,
but it wills masifestly inert-4'ldd. The Men of the'
World, and °tear Arad Nahm, were -the per-
formances of the evening ; and we are highly
*tamed by the gravity with • hick some of the Ma-
nagers' Newspapers affect to criticise the acting in
the play. The truth is, that early in the evening
the disapprobation of the company .rendered the
perfumeries ou the stage a very secondary consi.
ileratien...and after thecommencement of the second
pace, the noise in the body of the House drowned
every other sound. In every part of the House
o.P.'esboste un the hatand in medals on the breast;
the expressions uf disapprobation were general, the
Pit, Boxes, and Galleries, vying with each other in
hissing, hooting, groaning, whistling, and every
other expresblutt of disapprobation, thwt• the ferti.
, lity of invention could devise. Placards again
I reared their heads in great numbers:
About nine o'clock, Wood the flreman, Jew
Bennett, and about twenty Police Officers, sup-
ported by • large corps of ruffians, making a sud-
den rush into the Pit, attempted to make a very
general grab, but their reception was warmer
than has been experienced by them on any night
since the opening of the. Theatre. Wood was
extremely active, and displayed an inclina-
tion to act with the accustomed brutality of the
ruffian corps; the Pittites, however, prevented
that display, by attacking in their turn, and com-
pletely overthrowing the entire body of this
46 rabble rout," of whom every matt was ex-
pelled after a contest, its which divers corks were
drawn, and the clothes of Wood literally inn'
from his back, Happily no serious personal in-
jury was sustained by any one. It was some
time before any of these gentry • ventured
to prep into the Pit, which they at last
entered in small bodies, ta:.ing care, how.
ever, to keep close to the dews. The Pittites
permitted them to enter o ithuut opposition—
' nor did they molest (hem, bat intimated, that' so
long as they were peaceable,. they would not aid-
, die with them. Cats there be a stronger illustra.
lion or proof of the rai ties who are the instigators
of riot. That there was a very great disturbance iii
the Pit last nisltt is must true. By whom was it I
created By the servants and agents of the Pro-
prieturs, sent there expressly for the purpose of '
subduing the expressioii of public disapprobatiun.
Hitt for them there had been no disturbatox. We
were extremely sorry to see a large quantity of
peas thrown upon the stage, happily they were dis.
coverall in sufficient time to prevent any accident.
This is a mere trick, like that of throwing halfpenny
and peony-pieces un the stage, which also occurred
last night—of the agents of the House to cast
an odium on the public. The party who played
off this muumuus; is suspected; and may probably
be discovered. The public, there can be no
doubt, are auxins's to prevent every thing like its.
suit to the performers, and much more, injury
either to them, the Proprietors, ur their pro-
perty.
In the Pit three Counsellors' wigs were visible,
whether they were Counsellors, and if so, whether
they were honest, it is nut its our power to inform
our readers. At no great distance were halts do-
zen white night caps. IVhether these coverings
were intended as a protection against cold, or
whether they were-used as precautionary Cutler.
lugs, in ease the Couis.el should open their plead.
lugs, we are also unable to ascertain. We Mire
sometime% felt a strung disposition to slumber even
at a Theatre ; and when Counsellors' w.gs make
their appiiaralice, we, by nu means, think a pre-
cautionary stiglit.cap superlissuus. Those oho
have beets accustoms-xi to long pleadings, may
perlia;:s think it as necessary a provision (or vi-
sit to the Theatre, as an Opera Glass.
A tin trumpet was throw is upon the stage dos-
ring the Pantomime. Mr. Farley rook it up,
bowed respectfully, and deplored it to an at-
tendant. His reception during the remaiuder of
the evening was very flattering.
The curtain dropped finally, amidst the lota s.,
of the many loud roars of disapprobation, that we
have yet heard. Groans and cheers succeeded ;
and the scorn manifested to the inmates_ of the
private lodgings in the three pair, hal a very vi.
sible operation. . •
The company separated at isn early, hour, ar.
ter the most tempestuous night that has set been
seen at the must splendid.Theatre in the world.
A Gentlimais was taken out of the Dress Boxes,
at an early hour in the evenin4, and held to hail,
on the usual charge. 'Whether the readiness
with which he fnuntl bail was offensive, or
..w_bether the Managers
.have taken a Is.winis from ,
the Society of Vice, we ICnow nut ;` btit the mu-
ment that the reeognisauees were signed, Mr..;
Gibbons, the orator, strode forth, and Wit four
distinct inforinations against. this Gentleman,
whose name is Cooke, for swearing
.finir pro.
fusee oaths---uputt which informations he was
fined in the sum of two shillings 'for earls, and
three shillings fur the costs on each. This
was a neat calculation of the Orator, saving Mr.
Cooke the trouble of receiviog any change out of
a 11. note.

BERMIRE 1111E17 AG.

At a Meeting of the Noblemen, Gentterarn,
Clergy, and Freeholders of the county of Berks,
held at Abingdon, un the 2711 s instals!, to eunsi.
der of as Address to his M.j sty, un his unteriug
the 50th year of his reign.
An Address was moved by Lord Abingdon,
and seconded by Sir Moris. Ximenes, and offer
having been read, and the question WO% shout hr
be put,
Mr. •ffallett upraised his astnnishment, that,
when every heart and hand shussid be unifea,
and when a call might soon he made tot
the people to shot their blood in defence
of their Ring and Country on British ground,
no invitation should have been gisen to the we,.
bitants and others of the county, to express their
loyalty and attachment. He then spoke iti praise
of athe steady and bonourehle conduct of Mr.
Knapp, the late Representative of the Borough
of Abingdon, during the last trying and ex.
traordiinary Session of Parliament, end added,
that, were a subscription n anted for a monument,
he would subscribe liberally to record his Me, on
I the Duke of York's disgraceful cond..ct n hen
I Comities:ler in Chief of the British Army ; his
vote on L erei Castlereagh's attempt to barter a
Writership in InJia fur a Scat in Parliameist ; and
his vote to institute an inquiry into the case of
Mr. Dick, who %Vas Stated to have been got out of
the House of Comniona, by !IWO,• of his Maje,ty'a
Ministers, because he wonid not vote cwitrar, to
It he dictates of his conscience. But he holied it
,n„1,1 net be necessary t.t record 411 ultfreli:;,- L.)-
slifion, at the ensuing election, that must see:o to
compro.uise their late friend's indepetidenee, noel
!that of the peace of the nation, fur what is C.4!ICLI
I the peace of the Burma:tit of Abing,loo.

Mr. 11.111,1 t, at Some length, warned tit: Mtet_
my of the great datigor wh:ch thica'ened the
country, and enforced the propriety of notating
the (wily of the peo; le, by attending to their
rights and in,oresti, and moved an adjouranient ;
which nas Feconded h. Mr. G.io !lake.

:rhe Ilkth Slieritf, Sir Thomas Theuphilus Met..
who had before admitted that the i, habitants
ought to have bees. summoned, iiisi.tted Hint no
one ahoedil vote, who had nut a freeltrild.of 10s.
a-year.
Mr. Hallett answered, that Gent fem. u k. ere
invitedoind it would be for I'llolov., to
diseritninate the Gentlemen, th:iugit ter tb‘i not
press an examination by him of the ladies in the
gallery—(n laugh).
Sir Thomas told him he was not to dictate, am?
again insisted that no one should rote but a F.
solder ; when there appeared outs thirty -!o
Freeholders present Ithough a mat ket.d.ty at
Abingdon), of which Skeen voted fur Ow mo-
tion, and twenty against it, %%Inch Sir Thomas
was about to call a gicat majority, but very pro.
perly corrected himsel.
Mr. lirootllake then riquesied to have the
address again read, it having been hurried over
in a manner at to be heard u ily by few of
the few who were present. Thiti request Sir
Thomas thought proper not 1., comply with, aiwl
insisted that Mr. Goodlake shoulti not say is
word on the Address, as the Adjournment was
negatived. The Address he said must of course
be carried, and immediately put the Qttettion.
Mr. Hallett than gm: Sir Tbuluas auliee, th It 4

i their simiatures, for the purpose of rolling a
County Meeting, to take into consideration the

The Meeting then voted the usual Thanks 10
Sir Thomas, and separated.
