Ss R—l am a dales maa, fade constant reader
of your Paper, and sin therefore sorry to see
your pagVs now assume that purtiaiity with r s.
luxe to the Coveet.Gardeit Theatre blanagurs, so
contrary to the hitherto *sown seutinseats in ge-
nem' of your. paper. It is an old adage, " Give a
dug au mese, sod hoot hint." Thai do I
think you have Acted towards the Mlaeagers, for
not till the " actual rota" arising from the eon-
feuding parties, did you think of Saying a word
about the " rise of prices ;" and then, right or
wrong, you set of barking, and, having once pro.
flounced yoar opinion, it seems you are deter.
Mined not to be open to convictive. I should like
to know, Sir, why the price of newspapers was
raised ? You will no doubt say that Govimunsmst
would nut allow the usual discount, died the Mils
price of paper, and printing materials in general,
were sufficient ceases for an &fresco...certainly
esey were ; but I will maintain that the Managers
have equally as good arguments on their side ;
and that those who condemn the " Managers" for
raising the prices of admissine to their Theatre,
condemn themselves at the same time by raising
the price of their papers. You sill also plats,
to obcerre, that there is one paper which supports
itself in a proper manner, yet sells for one Benny
less titan the othcrs. The Proprietors of Yawl.
hall Gardens raised their prices of admission this
season, and uho was agaiust it ? Certaittly not
the Proprietors of Newvapers, aid that for a
very good "free admission" reason.
if a 44 rise of prices" is tolerated in one in.
stance, I certainly think it ought io another, but
a as Mob" never discrituinates. Loot ronaiks
being astinst you, it is • doubt with ute whether
you will give thee insertion in your Paper, ur
