Titt THEAT4CE.--Often as the Tragedy of Pimp-0,
has been performed, it was attended by a very nu-
merous audience last night at Drury-lane Theatre.--
#o//a was performed with the usual force of EL-
LISTON, but with rather too pompous a mode oC
utterance. Mrs. POWELL gave a pathetic colouring
to Elvi,a. Mrs. H. Stbiums was well received on
her first appearance this season in Cora, and she
supported the character with 'interesting emotion.
The Flay 'altogether went off with ‘cOti.iderablc

The Gazette of last night contains an Order.ln
council, revoking the (2.;:.1,2r pf the sth Of Apri'l,
1805, by which Vessels coming troth the Port pf
Cadiz, or from any other Port Qt. Spain, withoui the
Streights of Gibraltar, lying to the Southward of
Cape St. Vincent, were enjoined to perfor.,, qua-
rantine. .

The Gazette also contains an Order in Cquncil,
by which it appears, that by an Order. in Councit
of the 15th of August,
.1805, rags imported into
the ports of 'Great Britain, Guernsey, Jersey, Al-
derney, Sark, or. Man, were to Liidergo special
quarantine,; but as' it has been represented to His
MAJESTY, that the stl*Cting rags to such special
quarantine is attended with much inconvenience to
trades and there does not at present appear to be
any reason to appri.;nend. that 'there does exist any
unusual or infetti,us 'distemper on the Continent of
Europe, His MAJESTY has been pleased to revoke
and discharge the aforesaid Order.

The following accident happened Or Monday
seinnight, at Battle, in Sussex John Cooper,
a private in the atith fOot, preparatory to the march
of the third division of that Regiment, on the
rol-
lowing morning, was employed in. making secure
a large chest, containing arms, in one of the bat-
, horse stables, used as a store-house, in the 'Bar-
rack-yard, his hammer came in contael with a flint,
and struck fire; the sparks flew to and flashed some
gunpowder that had been scattered about the pre-
mises, which caused the ignition of other combustible
matter, that soon set the building in a blaze, and ex-
ploded 8000 ball cartridges ; but as they were packed
in thin casks, containing Iwo each, and took tire
in progressive order, the explosion did not produce
the consequences which, from the contiguity of the
artillery magazine, was to be apprehended from
them. Cooper, who was the only man in the store-
house at the time, had his hands pretty much burnt,
and his whiskers singed from his face, but received
no other personal 'injury. The flames ra6..d with
great violence, and destroyed three ten-stalleki sta-,
bles, and all the military stores they contained, be-
fore they could be subdued, although several engines
were soon brought to the spot fir their extinction.
In the. stable next to that in which - the fire coal-
Menced several dogs belonging to the CAbcer, were
shut up, but they were all preserved except one, a
ilittable pointer, the property of Car ~till FRAZER,
which' utak burnt to death. - :The military stores con-
srsted of clothing, poincers' i2titruments, spare
arms, &c, &c. • •

LINES

ON OBSERVING THAT YOUTH WAS AiLintirri AGAINST
• LORD PERCY AS A CANDIDATE, FOR THE REFRE-

.SENTATION OF WESTMI NSTER.

Tilt Hope of Piacy's noble Line
In Britain's Annals pants to shine,

And prop her ancient truth ; •
lint blind to Honour's rising flame,
SOrne fain would check the righteous aim,
Whilst all hii crime is Youth.

Thus Pi T -r. was censur'd, who began
I Ijs brilliant course a ripen'd man,
Though yet in early days
Thus Envy strove tq damp the fire
That glow'd within his lofty Sire,
And blight his spreading bays.

PERCY, in their bright track proceed,
So ruay%st thou gain each civic meed,
In Glory's best career ;
That all shall wish relentless Time
Would still preserve thy manhood's prime
Till his own final year.

POOLE, SEPT.

, Woodbury-Hill Fair commenced on Thursday last.
Though the weather proved very favourable there
was but little business done the first two days : of
' horses there was a tolerable show of the cart kind,
but riding horses were very scarce, and but few good
ones. Raw milk cheese fetched about three guineas
P hundred-weight ; kecond sort about 50s. In the
tloth-fair there was a, good show of spperfines and
seconds, but nothing doing ; indeed, on the whole,
it was one of the dullest Fairs that we ever remem-
bered to liars seen.

Mr. GRAtiA:4, the Magistrate, 'with that inde-
fatigable zeal in the pursuit of justice by which his
e;:t harader is di§linguiThed, has discovered and appre-
; tended the Carpenter- who is suspeded of having been
-'cioncerned in the thUrcler 'of the unfortunate young
N*orrian who was found dead near the King's Bench,
in St. George's-fields, with eircuinstances of almost
cruelty.
. The new Sheriffs will be sworn into office at one
WOock on Sunday, at Guildhall, and on the,.next
'dziy, being Michaelmas-day, a Coninion Hall will
134 held for the Eledion of LORD MAYOR.

• There is at present at Hampton Court Palace one
'ol!'..the greatest curiosities of its.kind that perhaps can
found in this or any other country, viz. a vine
which -from one stock only has now 2204 bunches
'Of grapes, and has- annually produced more than that
litimber. This extraordinary vine has particularly
.cxtited the attention of HIS MAJESTY, who is very
conversant immatters of this kind. The PRINCE of
Went to see it before he set off Upon 'his pre-'
sent_eictirsion, and testified much surprise at such
• a remarkable proof of the fecundity of Nature. This
vine is in a hot-house, which till very lately received
heat froM sues on the old plan, bur fits MAJESTY
baying hdrd that there was a, hot-house on a new
construaion in the garden ofJOSEPH PRICE, Esq. of
Hawk House, near Sunbury, ordered the Surveyor
at Hampton Court to insped it. Mr._ PRICE, who
is the inventor of the new plan, of course readily per-
mitted it to be examined and adopted. The'great
advantage of this new principle is, that it only Te;
quires a third of tile fuel usually consumed in the
former mode. His MAJESTY, who is always a
zealous friend to use:fill inventions, has, it is said,
'ordered the new principle to be introduced at all
his other Palaces. This saving of fuel in an article
of luxury, and which doubtlesS can be-, endered
'more generally useful, is highly honourable to the
.public spirit as well as ingenuity of the •inventor,
who liberally permits it to he employed as a com-
*mon benefit.
• Tuesday the Ifith inst. a most dreadful fire broke
out at two o'clock: in the morning, in the Woollen
Manufaaory of'Mr. Win. Bowles, in Clare-street,
Limerick : at four o'clock the garrison drums beat
to arms, and the towa was alarmed by the cry of
'ire. Notwithstanding the exertions of the Magi;
strates, Military, and a number of 'individuals, the
dairies got SV:ch an ascendancy) that the premises,
with their contents, Ikere almost entirely consumed.
Most providentially the morning was perfectly calm;
had there been a breeze, probably the whole of the
street would have been destroyed.

About one o'Ciock on Thursday morning two vil-
lains made an attempt to get into the house of Mr.
Leach. in New-street, Leeds, by climbing up the
hack wall to a small window ; but their conversation
being overheard for ,ii length of time, by a young
'than, apprentice to Mr. L. he got up, and. after
charging a pistol which he had near him, inquired
their business ; he was answered by a shot from
them; in return he fired, audit is supposed wound-
ed one often), who appeared to be a stout man in a
- great brown surtotit. The villains then made off.
Friday se'nnight a policy, eleven hands and a
half high, the property of a horse-dealer at Chard,
started from Honiton for a considerable bet to go
one hundred miles in sixteen successive hours ; the
~g-round chosen for the purpose was from Honiton
. to Exeter, a distance of sixteen miles, which he was
-to go over six' times, with an:additional four miles at::
.terwards. He set off from 1-loniton at a quarter
!past four in the. morning, arrived at the ilotel. in
Exeter a quarter before six, returned to Honiton,
sip/ arrived secondly at the same place at tern o'clock,
2-nefagain, for the third time, at three in the niter-
noon, went off perfeali fresh, and completed the
distarie with the greatest ease in -thirteen hours
and twenty minutes,, being two hours and terrrni-•
nutes less than the given time. The poney was
rode the whole way by one lad, whose weight was
'little short of ten stone. , •, ,
