MASQUEIIADE.—A very numerous assemblage
of the Votaries of Mirth attended at the Kt 14' G's THEATRE last
night. There was the usual proportion of Friars with no devo-
tion but to the bottle, Shepherdesses whose rural cares never ex-
tended beyond Hyde-park, Nuns rather belonging to Venus
than to Diana, Dancers with leaden feet, besides a motley tribe of
fantastic and grotesque characters, who altogether blended
without disorder, were present. All united -harmoniously in
partaking of a good supper and plenty of wines, anti seemed
likely to prorong their revels till a very late, or rather a very
early hour.

eONTERSAZIONI.-The last of these entertain-
ments for the present season, given by Mr. SAss, in Charlotte_
street, Bloomsbury, took place yesterday evening, -and was
numerously attended by several professors of the liberal arts,
as well as by many of his private friends. This method of
bringing persons of genius and science in contact, and thereby
promoting an amicable and intellectual intercourse, is highly
creditable to the ingenious host. Several rooms were opened
containing models, pictures, &c. &c. and the tables were covered
with valuable books. The company remained till a late hour,
reluctant to take leave of so friendly and scientific a gratifi-
cation.

AN ELOPEMENT AND A YFRAT.—Last might,
between nine and ten o'clock, a post coach drove rapidly
through the Marsh Gate, and had not proceeded far on
.the
Kennington road, before three gentlemen on horseback, who
quickly followed, passed the gate and stopped the chaise, from
which a young nian jumped and endeavoured to escape, but
was knocked down by one of the gentlemen, who got into the
chaise, and desired the driver to return back tor George-atreet,
'Westminster, where he started from. A lady was in the chaise,
and her screams could be heard at a. very considerable
distance. She also endeavoured to get out of the coach,
but was prevented by the gentleman. A crowd soon
collected, and one of the pursuers explained that the
lady was the wife of a medical man residing at the west end
of the town, and was the mother of four children, and had
eloped with the young man, who for a short time had been on a
visit in the family. The young man attempted to deny this,
but before he had delivered one sentence, the two gentlemen,
Who turned out to he the lady's brothers, commenced belabour.
ing him with their whips, and he in return making a spirited
resistance, a kind of battle-royal ensued, which ended in his
"being taken in charge by the watchman. The lady was driven
off in the coach before the affray commenced.
