Unpleasant Occurrenee.-It becomes our duty
to notice some transactions that took place, at
the new Theatre in this city, on Friday evening
last, of very unpleasant character. The Ma
mayer announced in the papers and bills, that
Gen. Houston had been invited to attend the The.
atre that evening" and had accepted the invita-
ton. Offence was taken at this annunciation,
and, by concert or accident, some very riotous
proceedings took place, which broke up the per.
formances Of the evening before they were half
through.
No injury was done to the Theatre, or Perso.
nal violence perpetrated. While We admit that
1t was imprudent to make a commendatory pa.
ceant of General Houston, we cannot but regret
that it was not resented in less Objectionable
manner. All proceedings Of the character of a
mob are reprehensible. and we are grived to wit
cess an instance of them in our city.
