the malevolent ridicule of an Anonymous

Mrs. SECOND has been playing five nights at the
Margate Theatre with great success , her benefit
was well attended on Friday last ; her Crazy 7ane,
and the songs of Orlando, in the Cabinet, were so
well received, that site had three rounds afer she
left the Stage ; indeed it would be extraordinary, if
one of our best Singers was not to receive an equal
.portion of patronage with any Vocal PerforMer of
he present day.
The Triennial Musical Festival at Birmingham,

Lord LAVDEELDALE has Met with another bisap-
Uointment in his Political Career. The Peer, of

were to make him a Sherif of Middlesex.

TiE chief nttraClion on Monday last w..,s
Pubiic Breakfast at the 'ProSpca bowlitig Green.
Thiii festival bronglii together the major: part of all
tir visitors, and such a Motley assemblage could
hardly be par:ilk-lied. Among tliic whimsical crowd
we recwznited .ipprenticii wanting illaster,
s.'anting /10).1 wanting Fash;thn, Pirgins
'wanting Chataaer, ilaithelors wanting Wives, and
Wido,irs 'wanting Lovers, bth not one among the
'whole .wanting an Appetite, for there was so much
hu6ness dime in the devouring way, that a
.itranger
might have thought the whole company were eativg
fir a wager. The company was very nutrierods,
and the weather kind to: their wishes.

The theatre in the qtening'pretented the Ope'ra,
of The Woodman, which ,waS,peeformed very well
throughout. The scene which
.representi tha
contest among the fair At%theri, was well managed,
and was a very pleasing- exhibition The women
appeared to so rmich advantage that sonic of them
perhaps hit mom than the mark.
On Wednesday Dandelion had a More sele& com-
panjr to the Public Breakfast, but the scene was not
leSs gratifying than the variegated groups at the pros-
pect Bowling Green. The Garden was well attend_•
ed; and every thing went off with general spirit and
gobd humour.
Mrs. Second, in the evening, appeared for the
fourth time on our Stage. The eharaeler was Ro-
ieta in Love b a rs//age. The Airs she gave
Wien -great skill, and we have no reason to retract
What we said in favotir of the improving state of
her theatrical powers. %rite:E. sung the Airs of
Yottig Meadorrys With taste and expreSsion. The
House was but indifferently attended. A Musical
Farce was brought forth for the first time, and we
conceive, for the last also. The title was Perse-
verance ; or, He mast have Her. If the Author
is able to do nothing better, we cannot advise him
to persevere in the path of the Drama, as it will
hardly lead him to the Temple of Fame, or to the
Wheel of Fortune.

row. The Audience were treated with additional
Songs. A new Entertainment entitled The. Maid
of Margate ; or, The Loyal Tar, was brought forth.
Ic 'is a Piece of one Aet, and has at least this merit,
that the Heroine might be the Maid of any other
Sea-port as well as of Margate. Though it, has no
great portion of dramatic excellence, it is by no
means devoid of merit. The Charaaers sup_
ported in such a mariner as to give spirit and vigour
to the Piece, and it was tolerably well received.—
We were glad to see a profitable Theatre, which is
not always to be expedid in a region of diversified
amusement;

Dandelion, on Saturday morning, gave (we use
the term properly, because the pleasure exceeded the
expence) another Public Breakfast. It was very
pleasant, but not very numerously attended, though
the weather was favourable.

The Cabinet was in the evening represented at
the' Theatre, with the farcical Comedy, or the
comical Farce of Grays and Means.
Our Visitors increase daily, the Hop bring full
Cargoes, and Margate is itself again.

Tuesday morning last, at eight o'clock, a very
singular circumstance occurred at Teignmouth.
The sea at low water, instantaneously rose and fell
nearly two feet, several tidies in the space of ten
minutes ; and the fishing_smacks at sea experienced
such violent agitation, that they were in dan-
gerof being lost, The same phenomenon has been
observed at Exmouth, Weymouth, and several
places along the Coast..—On the shores of Italy
such phenomena are not uncommon : they are there
generally regarded as the forerunners of earthquakes.
A similar occurrence happened at the time of the
destrudion of Lisbon.

A few days ago, as a Gentleman tvas..fishing in
Totness River, 4n Otter -swpn, towards, him, which
he wounded on,the head witta.stOne.", It instantly
dived, but in a' short time returned with three others,
and commenced an attack. upon-thGelitleman with
the greatest resolution ; and though his legs were
fortified with strong water-boots, and he defended
himself with the spike affixed to his rod, he was
ultimately obliged to retreat. His legs were so
terribly lacerated, that, on reaching his house, he
fainted away. .
In the parish of Chesterton. Oxfordshire, seven
children of William Birch died within one week,
viz. a boy of six years of age on the r 7th February ;
a girl of two, on the 18th ;a r' f nine years,
another of twelve, and a third f sixteen, on the
19th ; a boy of seven, on the z Ise; and another boy

of ten on the, z3d.

Monday se'nnight H. Ibbetson and his wife were
committed to Wakefield House of Correttion, for
violently assaulting and wounding E. Berry, their
niece, who had been married a few days before.
These ignorant people having conceived the idea
that the young woman had bewitched them, had
formed a plan to draw blood from her, in order to
dispel the charm : and, meeting with her in the mar-
ket.place, they both suddenly assailed her, the wo-
man biting and scratching her, while the husband
stabbed her in the body.

It is much to be regretted that, notwithstanding
the many accidents which happen' persons
will still continue to go out of tileit depths to
bathe. Sunday morning, about" nine o'clock,
five young men took a boat opposite Chelsea, for
the purpose of bathing. They bad not been long.
in the water before one of them was seen to go
down several times, but was supposed by his com-
panions robe diving, as he was well accustomed to
it, but unfortunately in a short time he was found
to he missing. gis brother, who WAS of the varty,
had him immediately dragged for, and in about an
hour he was found, and taken to the Red. House,
where a Coroner's Inquest was to be taken on his
body yesterday. His name wasßipel; lie wai.Ziyea-rs
of age, arid bad lately served his time to a confec.
tioner in Vere-street.

A gJ. \V SONG.

ADDRESSED TO ALL TRUE AND LorAL ENcLisHr.iEN.

0 r the pi-Ogress of Freedom you oft have been told,
T'ben list to mv Song which a tale shall unfold ;
'Twill prove that fair Lier.Rry cherish'd by You,
Ilan no greater Foe than the Jacobin Crew.
The Freedom you, prize, and which once flourish'd here,
Is a Freedom to ev'ry true Englishman dear;
Yout fore-fathers fought 'for and bled in her cause,
And left her an umsullkd Gem in our Laws.
Ol.dlslottinghant once was for Freedom renown'd,
H-r Inhabitants Lr:Tal—their principles sound ; •
Eut since French Democracy rear'd up her head,
Truth, Honor; and I tiatice, with Freedom arc tied.
NVith Freedimii her Sons, to the Man of their choice,
Without tear or danger could oiler their Voice;
' But now; if they give nut a Jacobin Vote;
11 they 'scope with their lives, they are rob'd of their coat.
The brav'ry of WA KR XN which Frenchmen dismay'd ;
The honest integrity COKI has' display'd ;
Are Principles hostile to Jacobin Knaves,
So to blast them they sent for a Dealer in Slat 'es.
And now see hirh hoisted midst t,,mult and noise,
From the Jacbbiu Yell of Men, Women; and 13oys,
'Fite Slaves that surround him his protests believe,
Whilst he sneers at their folly and-laughs in his sleeve.
jr Atearebj..'s C.ir, and nc! Chair,
This San of Mock Freedom in triumph they bear.
Behold the Procession in order advance,
E xhibiting features of 1 acobin France.
The emblem of innocence pure to-display,
Two dozen of Damsels in white lead the way ;
So modest? so spotless ! so chaste they appear,
You'd have sworn Covent-Garden itself had got here!
Civic Sashes so sweetly dispos'd to reveal,
Those charms whichidie mo.lerty strives to conceal :
Civic Wreaths, too, they wear whilst fell Anarchy's Tree;
Is planted 'midst howlings of " Millions be free."
After many fine speeches the Slave-dealer made,
After hints at the *Day -and denying his f trade,
That nought Might be wanting the triumph to fill,
They wound up the Farce upon M--k--t H-11.
Good Heavens, what swelling ! what rapture was there,
Pray Ladies be seated sweet Sir! take a chair;.
I'M really quite, charm'd such pure Damsels to see,
So beg with the Meaiber you'll now take your Tea.
That the Fruit of true Lileqy'r Tree may be known,
From the Fruit of that Tree which the Jacobins own ;
Of Jacobite Freedom this Specimen take,
And ever avoid it FOR LIBERTY'S SAKE.
Disloyalty, Anarchy, Envy, it brings,
Contempt of Religion, and hatred of Kings ;
It Prottipts Men like tyrants to wish to destrby,
The Freedom of others themselves would enjoy.
To Worreti who fought in Britannia's cause,
To Coke who supported her FRI:Eno:V. and LAWS ;
A Bumper let's till—and away with such knaves,
As could vote for a Stranger, the Dealer in Slaves.
