Theatre Royal.
The tragedy of Richard the Third is postponed till the
ensuing week, on account of some gentlemen engaged to
perform in it being at present out of town: 
And on Saturday, the 27th instant, will be presented, the
tragedy of 
Douglas.
With the farce of 
The Lying Valet. 
The characters by gentlemen of the Navy and Army.
Places for the boxes to be taken at Mr. Petit's, next door
to the Theatre, where daily attendance will be given from
twelve o'clock till three.
The managers request that gentlemen who have places in the
same box, will, upon coming to the house, occupy those seats
only for which they are registered in the Box-keeper's book;
and that servants sent to keep places may not be turned out,
or otherwise molested.
The disturbance made in the pit on the last night of
performance, having compelled the managers to the
disagreeable necessity of interfering, in order to preserve
the decorum due, not only to the audience, but also to the
gentlemen concerned in the Theatre, it is hoped such
impositions will not be again attempted.
Tickets to be had at the usual places.  Box and pit one
dollar.  Gallery half a dollar.
* * * No admittance behind the scenes.  Servants to be sent
at half past four, to keep places.   Vivant Rex & Regina.
