Pieces, are of the higher order—Kings, Princesses,
a General, and Maids of Honour. It was very
well supported by HARLEY, CHATTERLEY, Miss
KtLLY, and the rest. We beg leave to observe,.
that when public Performers are delivering rhyme,
they should recollect that it is rhyme, and not, by
an attempt to shew good sense and taste, destroy
the Music in order to enforce the meaning. A
judicious Reciter will accomplish both purposes
of an Author, by at once .shewing his meaning
and preserving his numbers. The piece was very
well received, and is really most ludicrously en-
tertaining.

• His Itoril Highness then conducted the Deputatii.n to the
presence of his illustrious Consort; to whom an Address was
read. And to which her Royal Highness replied in the roost
gracious manner.
The Marquis of Huntly, Mr. Watson Taylor, Sir Thomas
Bell,and all the Gentlemen present, had the honour of kissing►
her Royal Highness's band, and afterwards withdrew.
