After the different premiums, &c. had been ad- judged, his Grace role, and, in a Own fpeech, thanked the company for their polite attention to the details of the bufinets, and, adverting to the diflinguifhed Foreigners prefent, concluded with a handfome corn pliment to the attention paid by the Emperor of Ruffia to the Arts of Peace, and particularly to the talents and produElions of Englifhmen. The truth of our remarks ih praife of Milk Munis's talents, was powerfully corroborated by thebrilliancy of her performance laft night of the Widatte Cheerlp at the Academic Theatre, where flse finifhed her en. gagement before a crowded and highly. refpeflahle audience. The panel's of her conception, the grace and fpirit of her attitudes, and the lively exprettions ! of her eye, where the comic Mnfe holds her ;ply and i triumphant throne, thrilled the fpellators with alto ' nifhment and admiration. We do not hefitate to alert, that this bright bud of infancy, which has fhot forth with fuch a vigour of genius, promifes to ex pand to the fulleft maturity of dramatic excellence, and become the ornament and pride of the dramatic regions.

The holiday folks repaired iuiit:rr in crowds, In irtefinible was the attraftion of the Bill of Fare which the inhabitants of Weilmitilter had prepared for them. Vali:sus prises were put up to run, wreflie, and play at Tingle flick for, in the true (pith U old Englifh paflime. On Monday there were eight candidates for the poise of a gold laced hat, destined for the belt player at tingle flick. They were to contend oh the principle of a main of cocks, the winners of each fetsto to play together until only one remained unvanquilled. The favourites of this panime were three brothers, of the name of Withers, and an ol J Lifeaguardssman, named Chapman ; the latter had obtained every prise he had contended for, and had beat the famous Blues Ildn. Many, vet, detterous in the art, Came fr , al the country to ow* them; but the brothers and Chapman triumphed over their opponents.

BOXING. The match between O'Donnell, and an untried man of the name of Wafddl, was decided yellerday on Willfdon-green for 2o guineas. It is only necenry to obferve, in giving a defcription of the combat ants, that O'Donnell is a complete adept in the fcience of thefrjlic art, although his weight and fize would not allow him a chance of contending with the up top heroes of the fift. Weidell, a Spital.fields dyer, had once or twice fought in hh own neighbourhood, and a few eafy conquefts led him to fuppofe that he was capable of entering the lifts with a man of notoriety in the bruying art. He had the advantage in weight. length of arm, and every requifite for his affirmed 1 proleffion—excepting courage and fcience. It being holiday time, the road to the feat of atlion was com pletely filled at an early hour yefterday morning p.r buggies, barouches, dun-carts, and chariots, were the Ord er of the day.
