.Lors.--Mrs. JORDAN'S Beatrice, in SHAKES..
of Much Ado About Nothing, at-
ight, a most crowded and brilliant an-
received that applause such an unrivalled
must ever excite. To give full
. and good humoured raillery of Bea-
those efforts that very few have suc-
must be archness without levity, and
without coarseness. Beatrice is also a
fashion, and must support proper dignity
throughout; in truth, it requires a combination of
talents, only to be met with in Mrs. JORDAN. Mr.
Lames &lurid is also an excellent piece of act-
ing, replete with vivacity and judgment. Mr. H.
Samosa gave great interest to the part of Clasefio, and
the whole performance received the most unbounded
applause. The Pantomime followed, in the happiest
style of variety, and gave all the amusement danc-
ing, fine scenery, and Harlequinade, can diffuse.—
Ins, Royal Highness the Duke of YORK was in the
Prince of Wm.sn's be x, and a number of Nobility

were present.
CovENT.Gtam.—The new Drama of The Wax-
direr, was last night very judiciously curtailed in
several scenes, and consequently went off much lighter,
and with better effect. C. KEMBLE having a double
interest to sustain, that of the author and the actor,
rather overstrains his efforts, but in general they are
not unsuccessful. Miss SMITH and Miss NORTON,
very anxiously lend their powerful assistance, and on
theit exertions chiefly depends the success of the piece.
It was last night received with unmixed applause, by
a crowded and fashionable audience.
The Pantomime followed, and gave general satin
faction. A slight fracas in the pit interrupted the
harmony of the audience for a few minutes, in conse-
quence of a lady being displaced. It did not, how-
pert go quite so far as an exchange of addresses.
THE OPERA HOUSE.—The Marquis of HEADFORT
and W. °mine, Esq. who were chosen arbitrators
respecting the dispute between Mr. TAYLOR and Mr.
WArmts, have given their award in favour of the
latter ; but for the sake of the interest of the pro-
perty, have recommended an amicable adjustment of
all private disputes.
The second Grand Subscription Ball was given at
the Old Hats Assembly RoomF, near Hanwell, last
",ght. All the beauty and fashion of the vicinity were
rresent. At eight o'clock the company began to
assemble, and dancing commenced at nine, and con-
tinued with great spirit until one, when supper was
announced, which consisted of every delicacy of the
!mot, and the choicest wines. The rooms were su-
perbly lighted, and every arrangement did the greatest
credit to the exertions of Mr. Fox, the maitre d'hotel.
• After supper dancing was resumed, and it was at a
late hour this morning, when this select and elegant
Party separated. Lord MACDONALD 9 and the families
of Messrs.Messrs.FLETCHEß, RMERTS, MASSEY, DAWSON,
MEUX, FORSTER, and the Rev. Doctor CARR, were
present. _

A pitched battle was fought on Thursday last,
near Horsington, in Somerset, between Hazard, a
butcher, and Stacey, a shoe-maker, which lasted an
hour and 16 minutes. It was at length decided in
favour of the former. A dispute having taken place
between the seconds, Tom Hazard and Clarke, they
set to, and, after fighting 52 minutes, victory declared
in favour of the former.
