NOVEL INTRODUCTION TO THE GREEN•ROOM
or DRURY-LANE THEATRE; OR, GREEN-ROO3l
An actor, entirely new to the boards of Drury, though not abso.
liitely so to part of the Metropolis, was, on Saturday evening last,
introduced to the ladies and gentlemen of the above establishment;
-his debut was a triumphant one, and the caresses he received from
the fair hands of the beauteous houries that.crowded round him,
was calcidated to raise the envy of many a longing beau ; in other
words, the fine young lion, bred at Exeter 'Change, was intro-
duced, under the auspices of Mr. Gibbon, and highly amused the
company by his gentleness and playful tricks.
ALARMING INTELLIGENCE.—We copy the fol-
lowing from the Freeman's Jincrnal, of this morning On

defeat of the Catholio question in the House of Commons, orders
were aent, to the Pigeon-House to forward 5,000,000 rounds of
musket ball eartridge to the different garrisons throughout the
comrtry."—This appears to us a very useless precaution.; seeing
that all that was necessary tolinsure peace and tranquillity was to
get an order from the Attorney- General, for three or four Pre-
lates, and some score of 'Priest,s, to preserve both.—Dublis

ing of the death of another, " I thought," said he to a person iu
company, "you told me that Tom Wilson's fever was gone off.
" Yes," replied the latter, " I did so, but I forgot to mention that
he was gone off along with it."
A person meeting a farmer, during a shower of rain
