of a molt excellent entertainment in the Egyptian-

The tables were molt elegantly decorated ; the
ground-work (thrown en parterre) exhibited land-

phies-
The room in which the company dined repre-
tented an Eaftern Temple decorated with trium-

of flowers..
The confealonary ornamentswere executed with
great tafte.
In the centre of the table oppofite where the
Loan MAYOR and Lady MA VOA ss Pat, was erect;

portrait of her Majefty, enriched with rays of Glory,
and in the centre of the bare another portrait of the
Queen in burnifhed gold ; the fummit of the pillars
to support the edifice were four Attient Briton:.
On each fide the Temple was a gilt pedeftal (in
lattice work) on which were two figures reprefent-
.ing Hiflory reading the brilliant atchievements of
our naval heroes.
On the right fide in front of the Temple, wa's
an exalt reprefentation of Bow Church, and that
part of the fteeple to the dragon was fcaffolded up,
in compliment to his Lordfhip, who undertook the
repair of it after its being damaged at a more rea-
fonable expense than any other builder would un-
dertake
it, being the firft work in which his Lord-
fhip was employed for the City.
At the Reps of the door the.reEtor of the Church
at that tithe was reprefented, in his wig and band,
holding a book in his hand.

of the Britifh Admirals, and bearing a Flag on
which eras infcribed " Rule Britannia," the Pillar
being fupported by Dolphins, Tzitons, and Mer-

both fetes. _ _ _

The LADY M.tyoatss with her accullomed
affa-
bility rendered•the company happy by her amiable
deportment. •
Tut THEATRES.—Both Houfes were lall night
well filled ; and notuithilanding the greit influx
of Holiday Folks, the general appearance at each
was very relpeetable. Neither of the perform-
ances prefentcd any thing new for critical remark.
At GREENWICH, the cufteimary feenes of roll,-

gratification of a numerous affemblage of airiest:

SADLER'S WE LL 14—The opening of this old and
favourite place of amufement for the good folks of

five minutes, in which time he met with a fall,
was once obliged to change his horfe, as he be-
came reftive, and was once run away with a con-
fiderable &lance out of the courfe The polls
were plated on the admeafured line of the two
miles, and he went very confiderably without
them : fo that he certainly went a much greater
diftance than 140 miles ; and it is looked on as a
molt extraordinary performance.
Yefterday fe'nnight a bet was determined, laid
to be for woo guineas. Spence a Chair-
man in Pailley, undertook to walk from the Crofs
of Glafgow to the Crofs of Edinburgh, in eight
hous, being a diftance of 44 miles. He ftarted
at 5 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the
Crofs of Edinburgh at 20 minutes after 12 at noon,
being 4o minutes within the timt. He did not
appear to be much fatigued, and Immediately on
his arrival offered to take a new bet that he would
go to Mullelburgh, fix miles farther, within the
original time. He went the fira la miles in one
hour and twenty minutes. During the whole
journey he kept at a kind of trot or half rnn. Se-
veral horfemtn ftarted with him, but all the
horfes were done up except one, a (tout 'bort Gal-
loway, which came in with him, as did feveral
other horfemen, who had met him op the road,
but their horfes were exceedingly warm. It is raid

Two curious Roman coins were lately dug

money, and was current in our Saviooa's time.
On the fecond coin are thefe letters, G. P. R.
