The Minor Theatres.

It is said, that on the next occasion of applying for a renewal of the licences for the minor metropolitan theatres, the proprietors of Covent-garden and Drury-lane Theatres have determined upon entering a strong opposition against the claimants, on the ground that the minor theatres have departed from the terms upon which they were licensed, by acting the regular drama instead of confining their entertainments to spectacles, dancing, and music. It is even said that proceedings have already been commenced against the Tottenham-street Theatre, and that Mr. Adolphus, who has hitherto so strenuously advanced the cause of the minors, is retained on behalf of the majors.—Times.
