Beasts, though in general the show of Cattle was but
indifferent ; Beef is somewhat diner than Fri-
day's.market.; Mutton, Veal, and Pork support last
prices, and the trade was for the most part, rather
'lively. The sales in the Haymarket were pretty
good ;. Hay, Straw, and Clover fetched better prices
than our last account.—We subjoin a correa state-
ment of the prices and numbers :

FABLE

The story of this .Prama is soon detailed i —Lord Transit.;
young Nobleman,' becomes captivated with the natural
-Churns of a girl in an humble station, and marries her ; bur
soon growing weary of retirement, he launches into the mazes
of dissipation; and sends Lady Transit hack to her family.;
At the time of their marriage, Fairford, the father ()this lady,
was in Russia on a commercial speculation, and his family'
%vice left in rather distressed circumstances ; but; on the re-
turn of Lady .Transit to her father's residence, the finds him
just arrived, and poSsessed of a considerable property in- -con-
sequence of the death of the prioripal partner iia the Conti-
nental firm. lie becomes reconciled to his daughter, who
had married without his permission, and plaCes a considerable
sum of money in her hands' to maintain her'dignity, but
which she privately transmits to her husband, to relieve
from the embarrassments in which his dissipated coati tier} had
involved him. In the mean time, Lord Transit, struck by
remorse, and considering .himself degraded by the levity of
his town companions, eagerly wishes for a reconciliation with
his wife, particularly on being deceived by Trevor, a young
Officer, the nephew of Fairtbrd, with regard to his stispi-'
cions of an intrigue between his Lady and Sir charies•
Brun: the parties are brought toget hen at the house of Lady Le.
Brun, and Fairford, who had discovered by sbilie papers the
benevolence of Lord Transit to his wife during his absence,
abroad, relieves Lordship • from great embarrassment by
relinquishing a considerable claim he held upon his estates,
and consents to his daughter's reconciliation with her huSir
band.

The main story is diversified by the mutual en -
deavours of Lord Transit andi Sir. Charles Le Brur4.
to seduce each other's wife, but they are both disap-
pointed by the virtue of the respective Ladies.
The Autholr of this Piece has been less solicitous
to frame a plot than to communicate moral seati,,,
ments, and to corre& the vices and follies of fashion.
His.fable is, indeed, very little calculated to excite
interest.or surprize. There is nothing novel or very
striking in his, chara&ers We have not, however,
much room for remarks on the merits or defeds of
this Piece, and as it was very well received through.-
out by a numerous audience, there is the less neces.
sity for observation. We could not discover any
thing to justify the title, as the Play affords no par-
titular hint to husbands that is at all likely to irna
prove the marriage state. Lord Transit parts. with.'
his wife without any reasonable plea, though it is
afterwards found out that he has a penchant for Lady
Le Brun, which, however, is soon at an end, and he
is disposed to receive his wife again. George-Trevor
appears to have an attachinent to La:ly Transit,
which is improperly introduced, because an amiable:
character, is, of course, unhappy, .and sympathy is
unavailing. Fairford is a sort of Job. Thornberry. .
The sentiments are in general just, and are very
neatly, and sometimes elegantly, expressed. The
general tendency of the Piece is'to exercise the feel-
ins, and to confirm the moral principles.
The a&ing throughout was entitled to applause,
particularly that of C. KEMBLE, POPE, FANtCETT,
BRUNTON, Miss SMITH, and Mrs. GLOVER.—.
BLANCHARD exerted himself with great zeal in
O'Dogherty, but was very deficient in the Hibernian
dialed. •

• The Prologue Was very creditable to the poetical
talents of Sir J. B. BURGESS, and the Epilogue to
the Author of the p.ay. They were well delivered
by BRUNTON and Miss •SMIT .1.

On Friday last the Earl of MontA, the new Con-
stable of the Tower of London. and Lord Lieutenant
of the Tower Hamlets, was rrost sumptuously and
splendidly entertained at dinner, at the London Ta-
vern, by the Magistrates and Deputy Lieutenant.
Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS, Km. the Chairman of the
Tower Sessions, presided. Lord MotaA was attended
by Sir T. SUTTON, Bart. his private Secretary, and
by Sir WILLIAM KIER, his Aid-de-Camp. On, his
Lordship's right hand sat General 'VERN ON, .the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, Colonel I;onKE, the Deputy-Lieu-
tenant, and Colonel SMITH, the Major of the Tower
of London: Amongst many most respeaable cha-
ra&ers, Colonel BEAUFOY, of the Ist Royal Regi-
ment of Tower Hamlets Militia, -attended, hull%
previously placed his regimental band, iu full uni-
form, in the orchestra. Mr. MAINWARING, the
Chairman of the Sessions for the County of-Middle-
sex, Colonel Smrrn,:and G: 8., VAINWARING,.ESq.
Meinuer of Parliament for the County, the Reverend
Mr. ROBSON, a Deputy-Lieutenant (the Father of
all the resident Clergy in the District), who officiated
as Chaplain, were also present. Mr. DIGNUM, Bre.
gave Non Nobis Dontine, immediately after dinner,
with great solemnity and effedt. The Cornpan7was
above 120 in number, and the admirable cQnvivial
talents of the Chairman were never exerted to better
purpose. :He matte a very neat speech, on giving
the health of Lord MOIRA, who made a very'lland-
some reply. 'Mr. MAINWARING, sen. in announcing
the health of Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS, made several
appropriate. observations; one in particular, when
he said, " that in placing the Earl of MoutA
high offices to which he had just been appointed,
the King had made the Tower Hamlets the most
acceptable present possible." ,Mr. GEORGE MAIN-
WARING, in returning thanks when Mr. BYNG'S
health and his own were drank, took occasion to ad-
vert to the late contested Eleelion, but in very deli-
cate and conciliating terms he then pronounced an
eulogium on the late most noble Lord Lieutenant,.
the great and- good Marquis CORNWALLIS ; one
whose talents commanded the respe&, whilst his
amiable manners won the affections, of all parties.
Having decorated the tomb of the Marquis with lau-
rels, with great felicity of expression, he made of
them a wreath for the brow of Lord .11foutA, who
was bred in the same school with Marquis CORN..
wALLts,•and who is revered by men of all parties-as
one who has ever at heart, and is solely influenced,
by What may promote his Country's good..
The wines, Champaigne, claret, hock, &c. ,were
uncommonly good. Lord Moti;A)retired about ten,
and the generality-of the Company broke up about
an hour atterwards, having spent a day in perfea
harmony, enlivened by unitbatipg now of

rarity.
