DICKY-L ANIt•
TARt Tight. at this Theatre, Master BP.T re per-
} I wined thi, part of 11,mIrt. in the tragedy of that
name, for tl,e first time this season. His v ice was,
in seviiral of the pay.ages, so husky and discordant.
that tunny words were entirely lost to the audience.
I k, however, in wme iif the scenes, received con-
sidera! le particularly in the very arduous
one with his mother. in the fr.-nth aft. Mrs. Mous-
T• IN was the 00'41 liltereSt that the part
possesses was given to it by this favourite *ekes:.
The beautiful airs in the mad-scene were sung with
the most thrilling sweetness, and received the warm-
est approbation of an enraptured audience. The
house was not full until after half price.

LORD gELSON.

The late visit of the Lord Mayer to the Public
Offices, has been in support of the dignity of the
City, and to remonstrate against his Lordship's situ.
atiun in the funeral procession of Lord Nelson, to
follow the Lord Chief Justice. His Lordship has •
contended, from custom, for his right to follow any
personage of the Blood Royal, the same as if His
Majesty were in the procession. It has ever been
customary. when His Majesty visits the City,
in state, for the Lord Mayor to meet him at
Temple Bar, when he presents His Majesty with the
City Swot d of State, and the King desires his Lord-
ship to follow him. His Lordship obtained this
wished-for objeft of honour. on Monday ; and the
arrangement was made at the Heralds' Office, for
him to follow the Royal Dukes.

tions for seats are so extremely numerous, that Mr.
Wyatt gave dire:lions for seats to be made to the
top of the arches, which was not originally in-
tended ; likewise, for additional seats in the West
Gallery, which will decidedly have the best view
of the solemn procession. Seats are likewice to be
