COPIENT Cf4RDICN THEATREL

Mr. Harris, like " a Giont refreshed with
mine," is returned to town from Bath, which he
left on Tuesday morning. Ho arrived in the Me.
tropolis he most happy time—the grit news which
saluted his ear, being a narrative of the exploit
performed by the osonsiderso oa the person of
Mr. Cow lam, who yet lies at the house of his
' friend, to which he was taken, from Mr. Coles,
the surgeon. The friends of Mr. Cotetem have
been anxious for his removal, but Mr. Jackson,
the Surgeon, by whom he is attended, has deci.
dedly opposed it, from an apprehension of the
consequences. Mr. Cowlem was in excruciating
pain during the whole of yesterday and last night,
and is not pronounced out of danger.
The impression made on the mind of the public,
by the premeditated and savage outrage on this
Gentleman, appears to have damped that spirit of
enterprise displayed by the heroes of the Feathers
public...house whose meeting and dialegee, on the
attack of Mr. Gowlans, we yesterday recorded.
Tbo prudence of repeating the experiment appears
to have been doubted ; and it begins to be whis-
pered, that souse discoveries have been made by
*Main myrmidons, which may pny.ibly operate
in the mature of " King's Evidence" in the
event of the Proprietors and Managers being im-
plicated in the consequences of what has hap-
pened.
The dangerous tendency of employing Ruffians
for the purpose of coercing the Public, has, fur
some lime, been generally felt, but the outrage on
Mr. GOlCiang hes produced universe! conviction.
Greatly as we have reprobated the unnecessary
violence displayed by some of the " Corps dc
Police," we mum, in candour, stale, that the
Officers arc wholly exempt from blame in the
instance of the attack on Mr. Carrion, which was
made, as we have already stated, by bruisers,
carpenters, workmen, and other ruffians, cx.
prosily etneloyed fur the purpose of silencing op.
position by force. The permission of such out-
, rages by those ruffians, ue cannot too strongly re-
probate, but the Police Officers certainly did not
co-operate in the assault on Mr. Cowlain. Perry,
the fireman, to whose humanity in carrying him
out, Mr. eowlain is certainly very much indebted,
yesterday waited arum that Gentleman to express
his regret at what had happened—and to excul-
pate himself front any possible imputation of haw.
ing been concerned in the assault.
THURSDAY EVENING.

lii tho early pact of Rowseo and Juliet, which

was nut materially interrupted, Niro. CLARKS
sustained the character of Juliet with a degree of
simplicity, and tenderness of feeling, from whit*
we are disposed to draw inferences most f*.
vowels's to the future reputation of this
young actress. The time may come, when the
Proprietors, by submitting to Me voice of
the Public, will allow us that opportunity,
of judging of her talents in the catastroplie-e-of
!ohm+ the disapprobation of the audience, of the
Oatliduct of the Proprietors and their Agents, has
hitherto deprived •s. The usual concomitant
Si symptoms" displayed themselves before the cern.
menceraent of the second price—after which,
the " insubordination" of the Honse became
general. 'rho last acts of the Play, and the
whole of " Hartford Bridge" were inati 'tile.
Althuugh the promised corps of ruffians did not
make their appearance, the unseasonable presence
of a constable in the centre of the pit, excited a
movement un the part of the 0. P.'s, by which
be was, though must reluctantly, impelled in the
direction of the si,le dour, ou the King's side.
In his progre.s, derit►g which he strenuously
resisted, he fell, but we are happy to state
thus that no violence was Otref44
to him at that moment, and he was per.
to rise without anuli•sta . Ilis expul-
sion was at linagth announced by the customary
shunt of victory ; but within a minute he pre-
sented himself at the same d ,or, supported by a
reinforcement of the Ruffian Corr. A violent
conflict then ensiled, and was for some time
maintained with duul►tful success; the scale was
at length turned against the intruders, by the
44 seasonable vibration" of certain sticks from
the Dress Box over the Pit door, which,
coining into contact with the " blocks" of the
assailants, they precipitately retreated ; but
nut before the hand of a young gentleman was
dreastfully rcounded bz a spike, of three inches in
length, which passed through his hand, and sticking
there, separated from the stick,at the mid of is hick
it had been fixed. The spike we,saw ; it is not
polished and is roughly hammered. The 0. P.'s
retained unmolested possession of the Pit, during
the remainder of the evening.
An altercation took place in one of the Dress
Bores between a Gentleman, with whose
.person
we have nut the honour to be acquainted, but els:,
was said to be Sir Win. Ileathcote, and a man of
mean looking appearance, who assumed the liberty
of disapproving at the conduct of Sir NVilliani.
The company soon saw the cause of the dispute,
and the man, who was said to a Police Officer,
was compelled to retire. He, however, denied
that he was an Officer.
Sewn• disputes in thu Boxes were terminated by
appeals to arms in the Lobby, where several
rounds were futight, during uhich some " corks
were drawn," (anglice bloody noses.) The com-
batants filially adjourned to Bow street.
In the second tier of R,.xis, the modern The.
lestris, who, a few nights ago, we described as
having 44 saluted a Gentleman with a.facer," ren-
dered herself eminently conspicuous, by the mild.
ness and suavity of her deportment, which was,
however, sumewhat sullied by the manner in
which she quitted the Box, with fists clenched, in
token of defiance of the co!tipatiy in the Pit. It
was reported that her disapprobation of several
placards was displayed by spittiug at them—fur
the truth of this we cannot vouch ; but more of
the spitfire we have seldom seen exhibited, than by
Amasooian Virago.
We cannot help being of opinion that this de-
scription of support, is not calculated to promote
the views of the Managers, or to conciliate the
indignant public. This, however, may be safely
referred to the serrior judgeseot of the )tanagers
