There. was beside a most crowded and distinguished audience, amongst whom were observed the Duke of WELLINGTON, Sir WIL LIAM SCOTT, and Sir JOHN LEECH, as well as several other eminent legal characters. The several Performers went through their parts with great animation and propriety, and were greeted with the most .unbounded, applause. Amongst the fernale•visitants who graced this display of Classic lore with their presence, were observed many with a . Latin, copy of TERENCE in their, hands. In addition to the Play, an Epilogue in the Latin language was produced. It was a most elegant and Eru dite composition.

COTE, in hiS life of this great man, a work that is highly creditable to his historical research, candour, and' judgment, declares, that '‘it is not true, as JOHNSON has taught Us to believe, that the tears of dotage flowed front his eyes," and,affirms, that " he lay for some days • aware Of approaching dissolution, and in full poSsession of his senses."—By " his senses" the Author Must of xourse mean his in tellectual facultieS. In this respect the Learned Biographer has certainly been misinformed, as it is well known that-the Duke had-sunk into childish imbecility long- before his death. The late Dr. IVIONsEy, of Chelsea College, used to relate the foilorving aneedote :—Having a great desire to see the Duke, he induced the House Porter to let . him stand -behind the Halhdoor to see his `Grace get into his sedan chair. The Qoctor was .cautioned not to let .the Duke see him, as his Grace was always agitated by the sight of a stranger, and shed tears on such occasions. .The Doctor concealed himself, .but in his anxiety to have a full view of so great a man,he put forth his head from behind the door so far that the Duke saw him, and after earnestly gazing at the Doc tor, his face sunk into a childish expression of grief, and tears ran down his cheeks. Dr.MoNsEY' was rough in manners, 'nit strict in veracity, and his 'bluntness was the true indication of :his sincerity.' Ile used also to.tell another story of ttie linke, which manifested the decay of his mental powers, though riot to the state of weak ness to which they were , afterwards 'reduced.— ' The great Lord SomEns, when he was past the power of engaging in business, constantly at tended the Cabinet Councils, but' never atteMpt ed to interpose or appeared to know what busi ness was going forward, except when a military subject occurred; and the Duke-of MA11.1,130110 UGH was going to speak. On such occasions he made a loud inarticulate shout, which seem el to. imply a recollection of the • Duke's character, and to, „express an opinion that his judgment ought to be chiefly regarded. The Duke was then in full possession of his powers, and, struck by the situation of so great a man as,Lard SOmEas, he used to say to old Lord TowNsn'END,—",. If you •ever' see me in that' state—save me, save me." It unfortunately hap pened that the Duke was reduced to the same pitiable condition, and he also regularly attended the Council, but was so feebe that he could not walk without support, yet was sojealous of having his bodily "weakness suspected,' that Lord To WN snENn always affected to be afraid of slipping on the 'polished boards, and asked the Duke to assist him,•that they might support each other. By this pretext the Duke was induced to receive help, and seemed gratified that he had the power of affording it. : This anecdote Lord TowNsuEND told to Dr..IIIoNsEY, by whom it vas communi cated to the writer of this article. Dr. MONSEY was domestic physician to the Earl of GonoL PHIN, with whoin lie resided in the- Stable-yard, St. James's,. till the death of •that Nobleman.— The Doctor was a man of great learning, and full of anecdotes, which he related with a, peculiar strength of. humour. lie was intimate with the most distinguished characters . of his time, by whom he was received upon terms of equality, and to whom his knowledge, talents, inti;uctive and entertaining qualities, rendered highly acceptable. There are two letters addressed to him in the published collectionof Letters writ ten by the celebrated Earl of CuEsTcariti,o. Dr. MONSEY died in December, 1788, in the 9-Ith year or his age, and his intellectual ppwers were in fall vigour till the very moment of his death.

Both proved game receivers; they closed and separated four times, until at length a severe strugg4: took place at in•fighting, and• both went down. • 2. after a short pose, Thornton was met by a chatterin7 blow on the side of the head, which floored Lim, and be iala as if he had been served out - of one of •Hodges's two gaiiutx at(l.icans. - - .•.; . • Sd and 4th rounds were in favour of Burton ; but, although his adversary bad not recovured from his stupor, Burton was doubled up by a heavy rigbt•hant!ed, blow on the sak, which seemed to set !inn asleep a bit in return. 6.
