Stab. a man known in the list of secon&rate pit-
;cilia'. Several of the little cognoscenti were pre-
sent at the exhibition, and sported their 014 very
freely, on the favourite. The combatants sot to fu-
riously. acrd the hexer put in some clean hit•, which,
however, made but little impres.ion on his hardy
opponent. Slade continued to have the best of she
haute, for a long time, but (rnompel ultimately ral-

The front of the long-fam►d Shakespeare Ta-
vern, in Covent-gard, n, some time since shut up, is
decorated with a row of oyster-tubs. plated upon
an domed plank. where a huckster vends those
shell-fish, to the Nymphs of the Pavement, and the
evening Loungers in the Piazaa. The gilded bust
of the Immortal card, once the ornament of the
portti, is taken away, and the greater part of the
prem.ses, purchased, we understand, by the Pro-
prietors of Covent-garden Theatre. is intended to
enlarge. and render more commodious, the bozos,
and their preciatts, on that side of the house.
