ODE TO LEAMINGTON SP.I

Oh ! LEANZINGToN, thy potent waters,
Impregnat:d with salt or sulphur,
Where sipp'd and dipp'd my ,r•ifu and daughters,
Whom I paid halt a crown a scull fur;

Thy spring all other springs nutrying,
Health, and strength, and beauty giving,
Curing that disease call'd
Incidental to the living.

With renovated powers, cxtatic,
I chaunt thy praise, and grateful bow t'ye,
I, who lately groan'd rheumatic,
Bilious, plethoric, and guuty.

The Baths of Bath let ANSTEY sing of,
I care not for his muse afar-den,
All Londo❑ soon thy Baths shall ring- of,
From Tooley-street to Covent-gulden.

Cold or tepid, folks of fashion
Most admire; but tell me what is't
Ails you ?--if a complication,
Plunge into the saltest, hottest.

Who would fain invoke IIYOF7A,
flond•street bean or City twaddle,
Seel, the cauldron of MEDEA,
And enjoy th' immortal coddle:

Wrong'd MEDEA I. 1 ho' the Poets
Deco thy hi,tory a ftble,
I have prov'd its value, kuow its
Truth, and tell it while I'm able

Form'd of stone, instead of metal,
ROBBIN ••• Bath, tho' somewhat bigger,
Enu►lates th' enchanted kettle,
Giving strength and added vigour.

'Ds a fact which I could swear to,
If before a fituNtir.4' clrried,
All the •‘ ills ti/at flesh heir to"
Are by daily dippings parried.

Ye invalids who make wry faces,
-Pained by ace, consumptions, dpipsies,
Li the Croovn Prihce haute your places,
Arid drive fur youth and health to CorPs'-.t

THE THEATRE.—The popular old Comedy of
The Inconstant, or the Way to Win Him, was last
night brought forward at the Haymarket-Theatre,
under the title of Wine Does Wonders, or the
Way to Win Hint. _ The Play might properly be
contracted, but we see no reason for changing its
original title, particularly as the new title has no
immediate refetenCe, and as the wine has no.ab-
solute effect upon the plot. But it was worth
while to revive the piece for the excellence of the
acting. Mr. C. KEMBLE has long been justlyad-
mired for his Young Mirabel, and he fully sus-
tained. his reputation last night.—Mrs. C. KEII-.
BEE) on her entrance as Bizarre) was received by
a crowded audience with warm applause, which
she requited by the admirable charaderistic spi-
rit of her acting. JONES'S Duretete, like all his
performances, was marked by indefatigable ani-
mation, and TERRY'S Old Mirabel was well enti-
tled to applause. CoNNon, a very useful and
respectable actor, gave due effect to Dugard.
By the way, his wife is well qualified in person
for Lamorce, though it must be unpleasing for
any delicate woman to appear in such a charac-
ter. But it should be observed that 31 illwood is
full as bad, if not worse, and yet is performed by
first-rate actresses. MiSS LEIGH, one of the new
Performers, acquitted herself in an 'interesting
manner as Oriana. There were two great errors
last night :—Lamorce, though well performed,
should have had more beauty of person to attract
such a gallant as Mirabel; and where the red
Burgundy, meaning the soldiers, were sent for,
they should not have appeared in while regi-
mentals.

The Duchess of BEDFORD gave an elegant ju-
venile ball, on Tuesday evening, at her residence
in St. James's-square, which was attended by
nearly 'LW distinguished fashionables.
Lady ivluenA y gave a quadrille ball on Tues-
day evening at her house in Park-street, which
was very elegantly attended.'
Count and Countess LIEvEN entertained a
Tuesday, at their
pt'
adrilset:-I-Isettrieoent,. °n

The Earl and Countess of COVENTRY gave a
sumptuous entertainment yesterday, to a large
party of distinguished personages at their house
in Piccadilly. _

Mr. KEAN arrived here yesterday morning.—
We understand the present engagement' at our
Theatre will be the last opportunity his northern
admirers will enjoy of witnessing his professional•
exertions Previous to his return from America,
as his time is too limited to allow his extending
his tour in Scolland.---(Ertinb. Courant, July 17.)
Mr. YouNc, after tho termination of 'his vri-
gagement at Edinburgh, was to.proceed' on his.
professional tour to Glasgow.

FOR THE SUS.

TO THE AL FURNEY GENERAL.

Sin—As you were raised to your present si-
tuation by your abilities, your reputation for le-
gal knowledge, and your loyal character, as well
as by the particular recommendation of a late
respectable .Ornament of your Profession, you
will, I doubt not, receive with approbation ra-
ther than displeasure, a suggestion which in a
high degree involves your duty to your Country,
and to your Sovereign.—ln the windows of a shop
in Fleet-street, every day_appear most impu-
dent and daring libels upon his Majesty, in
the form of the most offensive Prints.—The King
is represented in such a disgusting manner as is
calculated to render him an object of ridicule, if
not of absolute hatred to his subjects. In fact,
it appears, Sir, to the that nothing can be better
devised for bringing the SOVEREIGN FOYER into
contempt, annihilating all sentiments of loyalty,
and spreading a revolutionary spirit among the
lower ranks of the People, than these seditious
exhibitions. The windows of the shop are
crowded all through the day with spectators, who,
after having imbibed all the bad notions which
those infamous representations are calculated to
excite, depart; no doubt, with a contempt for all
Legal Authorities, and a detestation of the Royal
Person.—The unfortunate events of the 16th of
last August have long been a standing excitement to
Public discontent and clamour in the shop allud-
ed to, in a large print, representing the imputed
cruelties of the Yeomanry Cavalry at Manches-
ter ; and the return of THE QUEEN has furnished
new subjects for similar inflammatory exhibitions,
as well as doggrel verses of the same tendency,
which are displayed in the windows; and admi-
nister new food to seditious spirits. I, therefore,
Call upon you, Sir, in the name of decency, of
the Law, of the Country, and of your SOVEREIGN,
to direct your attention to this open evil, and
public disgrace. Can it be supposed, that such
an evil should be tolerated while there are Laws
in the Country, and Officers, :chose duty it is"to
administer them; and that so offensive a nuisance,
and such dangerous incentives should pass with-
out punishment, or even obser'vation ? It was my
duty as a Loyal Subject, to draw your attention
to these infamous Libels upon your SOVEREIGN and
his Government. It is your duty, Sir, to remove
them—to vindicate the authority of the Laws, and
to maintain due reverence for the station and
person of the. SOVEREIGN.
July (7. A LOYAL SUBJECT.
