At Covent Garden Theatre Lift night,Mr.Coox a appeared in The Stranger, which we by no means think one of his belt parts.

The place upon which he walked was tinder the fhade of the Glafgow rope-work, where one eighth part of a mile was meafured off: Con -1 fiderable bets-were depending on the occafion. A wager of 2000 guineas has been laid, p. p. by a Lincoldbirc Gentleman of great (porting celebrity in Lord Monson's Hunt, that he rides from London to Barton water-fide -in 12 hours , having any number of horfes he chutes : th e dif tance is 171 mile , .

He had, previoufly to the getting poffeffion of the aboyc property, promifato fettle on herforty pounds a year. At the tall interview, he called early in the morning, and took her in a hackney coach to Furnival's Inn, for the purpofe, as he laid, to get a proper inftrument drawn up for the fettlement of the annuity. He then laid the espence would be five ponnds, which the mutt advance as he was Mort of call'. He wcnt into the Inn, and loon returned with a thee of blank paper, pen, and ink, defiring her to put her name at the bottom. This the Lady (Netted to; but, on his Paying it was a pre lude to the fettlement of the deed, the confented, and wrote her name. The prifoner again left her as expedite the bulinefs; but the taw no snore of him till he was in cuftody. A perfon with whom the prifoner lodged Come months ago, Paid he went away without paying his rent, leaving behind him two trunks, which lie begged the Magiftrates would older to be brought before them, as he was well allured they contained nothing but rubbilb.
