TEWFORURY TREATRICALS.-,-00 Tuesday
evening the New .Theatre was opened at Tewksbury, and it is
but justice to the gentlemen under whose auspices, and to the
Artist under whose superintendanc
,e it has been erected, to say
that it isereditable to the taste and liberality of the one, and to the
skill and judgment of the
other.—The interior is fitted up with
every attention to the convenience of the Auditors, and capable,
we should think, of containing what is termed a 70/. House.—

The MEMOIRS of WILLIAM HAYLEY, Esq. the
Friend and Biographer of COWPER, will appear
in a few days.—Of this important IVork, which
formed a principal object of Mr. IIAYLEY'S at-
tention, during the latter part of his life, the
Author speaks thus, in his Introduction':—" The
Life of a sequestered Student, fond of books and

privacy in all the periods,of his existence, seems
at first to offer materials for nothing more than
a short mad smpie history ; but incidents, very,
singular in themselves, and productive of conse-
quences no less extraordinary, befell the subject
of this Memoir, and though ever devoted to re-
tirement himself, he had so much intercourse
with many of the most memorable characters of
his time, that a fair and full account of him
must inevitably be a work of considerable- di-
versity."
A Suaratsz.—A few evenings since, It party
of young men were returning prom a public-house a short dis-

to adopt, as the preptratory routine to more substantial joys,
