•Friends ! Ceuntrymen ! Judges who ranged In your stations ;
Lo•h with critical eye on our Stage decoration.; :
Attend to a Manager's humble Petition,
Who your favour demands for this night's exhibition.
We dazzle your eyes with no change of scenery,
Tritimphant processions, or magic machinery.
No thnnder storm rattles, no witch intervenes;
A flag is our curtain, and flags are our scenes—
Those flags, long the storm and the battle have brav`d—
Those flags in the breezes of triumph tfave wav'd.
When the Ven'rable, ever illustrious in story,
On Camperdown's billow* bore D u NCA N to gl )ry.
And now, if your fancy, such influence carries;
As to place you with us in the centre of Pgris,
tour amusement, perhaps, thi-. reflection may sweeten,
That you laugh at those Fops, you so often have beaten.
• The Venerable, a 74 gun ship, was Lord DUNCAN'S ship in
the Battle of Camperdown.

The anecdote of the Bari of BERKELEY, in a for-
mer paper, reminds us of a similar circumstance
which took place some time ago in one of the Parks,
belonging to the Duke of Goituov. A gentleman
.walking through' the pleasure ground, was attacked
by a deer : he retreated, with his Lace to the enemy,
and took post at a wall ; the animal pushed against
him with fury, and by the greatest accident fixed
his horns in the well, one oh each side of the gentle-
van, who instantly catching hold of them, preserved
himself, and secured.the animal till he was relieved
by the assistance of theiardener. •

The Covent-Garden Performers, on leaving the

It is to be regretted that where such strict justice
prevails, there should be so little taste. The Court of
Chancery has no sympathy for love or :nusic ! It sends
faithful Dumont to « durance vile," and values Signoras
at the price of Gate/if-singers.
Wednesday se'nnight, Mr. Dowen, a publican at
Towcester, Northamptonshire, completed perhaps the
most wonderful performance ever beard of. For a
wager cf 100 gs, he engaged, to go 500 miles in seven
days, on chosen ground, and to rest as he chose.—
He took his course through Berks, Wilts, Somerset,
and a part of Devonshire. He is stout made, 5 feet
high, and a native of Merionetshire.

A trotting mare belonging to Mr. FRENCH, of the
King's-road, yesterday performed 16 miles within an
hour, for a wager of 25 guineas She had once done
17, but the road was so uncommonly heavy yesterday,
that the wager was won by three minutes only.

played at Trowbridge ; Wiltshire against Somerset.
On the onset, the match between Wall (Somerset)
and Ellis (Wilts) for twenty guineas, was won by the
former ; he breaking the two first heads ; it was
reckoned a fine display of skill. The next five heads
were broke by tlse Somerset lads ; and the sport con-
cluded in their favour, they having broke thirteen
heads, and the Wiltshire only seven. The, darkness
of the evening prevented' the tyers being played off.
In the course of the day, the stand erected for the ac-
commodation of the spectators suddenly brokedolio
it is supposed near two hundred persons fell,' but
fortunately not one received the least injury.
' On Monday there was a grand match at boxing
and single-stick playing, in the neighbourhood of
Eversley, on the borders of Wiltshire, between tlik.
most celebrated professors of the Western counties.,,

ing, and lasted until four in the afternoon, when seven
couple of heads were broken, and a silver cup was:
carried off as the first prize by HAMIJT, a Berkshire,
man. A boxing match for a purse of 50 guineas
closed the day's diversion. The ,combatants were.

was continued resolutely on both side., till within.ten
minutes of two hours, when the coachman
