the following particulars G. the fair
Elope", is second daughter .of an Honourable, Re-
verend, and Venerable Dean, who,resides in the
South of Ireland, and is presumptive heir to an
Earldom. About five years ago, Sir JOHN G. was
quartered with his Regiment in the neighbourhqod,
and became acquainted with the family. He was
ordeted suddenly to, England ; and on his leaving
his quarters, Lady G. then Miss C. followed him
to Dublin, where they were married. From Dub-
lin they came to England, where they have since
lived apparently in the greatest felicity. The
Lady had a beautiful cottage near Windsor, a splen-

her gallant. .. All ,-adies in her situation arc pre-
sumed and declared beautiful. Hitherto, however,
Lady G. has just been allowed to be pretty, and,
not more. The Hon. Captain B. the' gallant,
was the friend and brother officer to the injured
husband. He was his inmate at the time of the
discovery. The Lady, it seems, had stolen un.
heeded to her lover's chamber, and was caught in
the ad of coming out of it by her husband. The
conduttof Sir JoHN G. upon this painful occasion
was that of a Gentleman and Soldier.. He produced
a brace of pistols ; but the Hon. Captain B. said he
would not aggrAvute the injury by firing at the
man whom he had wronged, and declined the chat_,

The criminal intercourse is supposed to have sub.

Mr. T. DIBDIN is the acknowledged author of
the Comedy brought forward for to tkenefit of Nit.
LEWIS, under the title .of The Will for the Deid.
It is not only very creditable to thc feelings of the
author, as it was the tribute of friendiiiip to a man
whose talents and, private worth are deservedly re-
speeted, but it. is cre,litable also to the Author's abili.
ties, as the Comedy abounds with—strong humour,
and incidents that make an irresistible appeal to the
risible muscles.
PARLEY has seldom appeared to so much ad-
vantage as in the,new Comedy of The Will for the
need. He really displayed comic powers that if
properly cultivated may raise him much higher in
public estimation.. _
Accounts have been received'from France within
these few days, from the crew of the Priace of Wales
packet, taken at the commencement of the . war ;
they are dated from Givet, the 18th of January, at
which place the crew then were; • together with
Captain BRENTON, and the other officers and crew ,f
La Minerve frigate; they were then all well, but
had suffered much from long marches, want of clothes,
miserable allowance of food, and all the horrors ofrt
French prison; they were, however, seasonably re-
lieved by .the humanity of the Government,
who have, since the latter part of December, allowed
them threepence each per day, in addition to. the
allowance made them by the French ; and on the day
on which the accounts are dated, they had been fur-
nished by Captain Bit ENTON, at the expence of the
English Government, with each man a shirt, jacket,
trowsers, stockings, and a pair of shoes, and straw.
beds; this allowance has also been extended to the
crews of the merchantmen, but they are only allow.
ed two.pence each per day. They speak in very
high terms of Captain BR ENTON'S humane condua
and attention to them. The prisoners
,are not suf-
fered to remain long at one place ; their .stay seldom
exceeds two months. Since the zzd of November
they have been marched 200 miles.
On Saturday night a man came to the watchman
who stands at the end of King's:head-court, Norton
Falgate, anti requested permission to.stop fora few
minutes in his box, while he went his rounds, as the
arranger said that he had no lodging to go to. The
watchman granted his request, and then went to call
the hour. On his return, however, he found the man
sitting in the watch-box quite dead. The body was
takers to the Ship Public.house for the Coroner's
Inquest. The deceased was 'a Sawyer by trade,
,and lodged in•King's-lkead-court.; but being un-
well, and out -of employ, he was not able. to pay
his.lodging, and in consequence turned out into the
streets that very evening.
At Milton, a ewe lately produced a living lamb
with twolTrads. • .
It is a singular faa, that in that ,neighbourhood
some oyster-shells were lately thrown on a dung-
hill, amongst which was an oyster too lean to be
thought worth opening. On turning the dung.heap
five weeks after, that oyster was found uncommonly
fat and fine, yet it had been exposed to sun and
fain during ail that time.
