with. have had no haad in the treasury, and wish
| my creditors know it," Mr.. Stevenson replied
There has been $4,000 received ia % weeks =
the creditors ought know what had become OF the
ney. Mr.. Dianeford rejoned-"I don't know; all
can say is, have got OF it,
One of the creditors asked Mr. Dinneford if he did

Draper; he told me they S240 per week-they
turned out to be over $3.50. Send for the books-end

| Mr. Cooke received $4,000 for his engagemen-the
receipts $4,000.
Mr. Dinneford-"By God Mr. Stevenson this is not
right You want to make it appear have pocketed
$4,000
Mr. Whiting" You mistake, Mr. Dnneford; the OBJ
iect of this statement is show these gentlemen, that if
they advance their money there is fair chance Of get
ting it back again If this has been made, il may
be made again. and will probably induce these gentle
men to go on
Mr.. Stevenson said, The money had been made,
where it had gone nobody could tell
Mr.. Whiting then progressed in his statement. " The
dead expenses OF the theatre were calculated TO be
$4,000 per annum. There was $4,000 due to Mr. Ham
blin for which he held security by bond and mortgag
This is independent Of the 5000 now claimed There
is also debt of $1,000 due to Mr. Flynn and debt due
bin for his trouble and expence in London engaging
tors &c. These be all satisfactorily
ranged. Mr. Weed also holds bond and mortgage for
$4,000 he confesses he has given consideration for
the same, and is willing, upon arrangement being
made for the payment Of of $500 $500 to aban
don it. The only present difficulty then appears to be
the rent. This must be raised ....
The books now brnugh in upon which Mr.. Dim
neford said, there they the very devil himself
cannot make any thing out Of them" Mr.. Stevenson
opened one or two of the books looked at them, and
again placed them tho table, with look Of despair.
Mr. Dinneford said Il perfectly understand why
am prosecuted Mr. Hambin is anxious get possess
ion of the Bowery Theatre. Mr. Sandford, his solicit
tor and Hambln, two damned @'~TNH~ Sand

as promised, Saturday at o'clock, took steamboat
and left the city Hamblin came after IL o'clock
that night. We had alteration Hamblin said, /"
want the money and will haveit. If don't get it by
l2 o'clock on Tuesday, I'll seize the Theatre!" l
Piled !" if you do for me, you should for
the public" Hamblin retorted, The public be
id! The public may *s** - *#**. don't care a
damn for the public l told them so when l was not
worth doar-I tell them so now T.
Mr. Whiting said it useless time in rela
ting what Mr.. Hambn had said-they had better pro-
coed TO business.
In relation to debt due Mr.. Jacobs Mr.. Dime ord
stated, it was only a small balance. The debt was
contracted for service Of plate &C. &C. and amount
ed to $780, but when found how things were going
went to him and said, Jacobs, I'm in hot water;
wish you to take those things back Mr.. Jacobs
took them back with the exception of gold chain,
and some other articles had made presents Of to
different persons. / did the same TO Mr.. Nix, of
whom had purchased carriage. | said to him,
Mr.. Nix, Pm bursted-Pm an unfortunate man; l
wish you TO take the carriage back Mr. Nix did
Some statements were made by Mr.. Deverney, the
carpenter Of the theatre to show the why his
bills had been disproporiionate, in amount, TO the
old carpenters charges. 1t was owing, Principally to
having had every thing new to make. Now the the
aire has better stock Of scenery, machinery, &c.
than ever The expenses, hereafter, would be light.
| The principal creditor is we believe, Mr. Benncrs,
| $1,000. This debt is, however chiefly contracted
| for the Franklin Theatre. The amount Of debt rep
resented last evening, over $4,000. To raise
the rent due Mr.. Hambln, each gentleman agreed to
advance IL l-2 per cent the amount of hs respect
i've debt and TO advance the requisite TO set the
Bowery afioat once more.
May il swim on the tide of public favor, and pros
per!
