Twit-me Meas.—This annual Fetewas on Mon.
day renewed, under aufpices more favourable than
on man/. former years. The Battle of Trafalgar ()c-
-rewing fo recently, could not fail of providing a no-
ble theme for thofe white robed Pikes, who, from
their various temples in the metropolis, dieribtate the
Ingar dad offering fo acceptable to the Genii of
Mirth and Frolic. In all the principal Brps, you
•misht behold large Twelfth Cakes decorated with the'
inirgnia which diltingutibed the hoftile fleets t mo-
dels of Bra rate (hips of war, in well wrought paltry,
reminded us 41 thofe which our gallant Tailors demo-
hiked in much about the fame time it would take a
company of well grown Mailers and Mules to reduce
one of the larva cakes to a mere wreck.
On feveral of the Cakes appeared in letters of
fugar—“ ENGLAND IXPICTI IVIRY sea /0 Do NI/
Vint, j" with a variety of other allirfioas, calculated
to pleafe the purchafers, and to excite that feilivity
derived from the Ancient Cuftom of Eating Twelth
Cake, &c.

At Drury Lane Theatre, in purfuance of the be. I
pen of poor BADDILET, the Annual Cake was dif.
tributed among the Proprietors and Performers,
who, in this inftance, at 'call, teemed more anxious
for " folid pudding than empty praife." The fecrets
of the Green Room thould be inviolable ; bin had it
been permitted us to take dr a Peep behind the Cur.

appropriation of charaelers than the following with
which we have been favoured. It is reported that

The Gofpel appointed for the Epiphany, at the I
Chapel Royal, in St. James's Palace, on Monday,
wi:s taken trim the ad chapter of Sr. Matthew, be-
ginning at the ErR verfe, wherein it Rates, that three
wife men of the EaR followed the flar, which ap-
peared over the birth-place of our &taunt& ; and on
their difcovering him, they fell down and wurthipped
him, and then opened their treafures, and prefented
unto him their gifts, confining of gold, frankincenfe,
and myrrh. From this circumilance, the ceremony
has been kept lip to this day. After the ceremony,
a Henan fympliony commenced on the organ, and
Lord Jona 'ravines left the Royal clofet, with the
attendants, and proceeded up the aine of the chapel
t I the alt.,r, where he bowed three times, and then,
kneeling on a crimfon velvet cufhion, the Rev. Mr.
Hotress, the Sub-Dean, prefented to him a gold difh.
The attendants opened an oval gold box, and pre-
tented the contents to his Loldfhip, which, confined
of three cr imfon velvet bags, with gold ornaments,
containing gold, frankincenfe, and myrrh, which his
Lordfhip laid in a gold difh, prefented by the Sub•
Dean, and retired bowing. A fhort time after his
Lordlhip had taken his feat in the Royal clofet again,
the appropriate Anthem of .friji, Aim, 0 Zion, for
tby light it come, eompofed by the late Dr. Dssruiss,
iwas lung very correElly, by Meffts. Goss, Harris.
and SALmum.

On Sunday evening, as Mr. Brown, of Tower.
bin, was returning from Stamford-hill, he was flop-
ped by two f..otpads, and robbed of fol. and fundry
papers ; the robbers made actors the fields towards
Hackney. Mr. B. has a perfca rccolledion of the
men that robbed him.

POLICE,Ife. •
Bow etteii.r.—Thomas Lord Vircannt Ranelagb,
in.confequence of a letter directed to him from the
Magiftrates, attended yefterday to anfwer an infor-
mants lodged againft his Lordfhip a few days ago,
by his gardener, George Smith, for Omitting him
♦iolently.
The profecutor, Smith, repeated his charge, that
his Lordflsip had defired him to deliver up the keys
of the hot boufe and green fiance, to a labouring man
named Ryan ; and that he, having a number of
things under his charge, in thofe houfes, for which
he was refponfible, would not furrender the keys un-
til he was permitted to deliver them up regularly to
his Lordfhip, and have a Rnal fettlement, as he had
received no wages yet from the time he had entered
his Lordthip's fervice ; upon which his Lordfhip
caught him by the collar, threw him down, and
kicked him, when down, ahnut the face and head.
Lord Rinelagh being called nn for his defence,
declared that what this man had raid, with refpeA to
the caufe of his alledged iffrult, was totally falfe,
and propnfed to examine a %rimers, named Ryan, on
his behalf.
The Attorney who attended for the profectitor, ab-
lated to the examination of Ryan, as not only a
party in aiding his Lordfhip in the affault, but as the
perfon actually employed as fucceffor to Smith in the
t !Bee of his Lordthip's gardener.
His Lordihip entered into recognizance, to be an.
Alterable at the Qcarter Seffions, by the fureties of
himfelf, Sir Philip Stephens, and another Gentleman 3
and appointed to-morrow morning to fettle with his
gardener upon the other points alledged.
Richard Sillitoe was again brought up for further
examination, upon the charge of carving letters, and
embezzling the bank note: they contained, he being
Clerk in the Receiving Office far the General Poll Of-
fice, at Charing Crofs.
Mr. PARKINS, Solicitor for the Port Office, atten-
ded, and Rated to the Bench, that he had written to
Mr. Snell, whet, when in town, had put into the Re.
editing Office at Charing Croft' the al. bank note
which conftituted the principal ground of evidence
againft the prifoner. He had addrelred for Mr.
Snell to Plymouth, where he had been informed that
Gentleman war, but received no anfwer, nor could
he learn any further account of him. With rerpeet
to the 51 bank note, he had confulted the Law Offi-
cers of the Crown, and it was their advice not to
found any profecution on that ground. Under thefe
ciretthiliances, therefore, it wa: not his with, on the
part of the Crown. to detain the prifoner any longer in
confinement, provided that arm; of his friends would
conic forward, and be refponfible for his appearance,
when again called for.
Four terpeCtable perfons, who had before appear.
ad to give the prifoner a molt excellent charater,
now came forward, and pled?ed themfelves for his
appearance as required, without entering into any re-
cognizance.
Mr. PARKINS felt it neccffary to declare, that the
birators of the Poll Office had formed no opinion
whatever on this lubjal. The prifoner was then li-
b:rated.

A Surveyor of Paving applied to the Magifirates
at Bow•firett to pull down a fcaffolding which had
been ereeled over the new built arch in Picket-flreet,
leading into St. Clement's Inn, Strand, for the ac-
commodation of fpeetators, preparatory to the lune-
ral of Lord NelfOn, which he reported to be dange-
rous to the lives of his Majetly's fub jelts. The Ma-
ates, however, conceiving that it was not a pro-
jeetion made into the common font way, thought
that they could not interfere ; but advifed another
application to be made by the regular Diftriet Sur.
yeyor, and alfo application to the fimiety of St. Cle-
ment's Inn, who have the power to abate the nui•
ranee.

MARLIOROODN•STRIRT. Monday Charles Pye'
Turner, who Rood charged with defrauding different
trades people, under went a fecond examination. It
appeared on this hearing, that the prifoner was, as he
had reprefented himfelf to be, a Lieutenant in the
Na,y, upon half pay, but had been unemployed for
fome time. Mr. Tegg, jeweler in Oxford•ftreet, and
Mr. Pito, butcher, who preferred charges againit
him at the halt examination, did not appear. In cont...
quence of which he was difcharged.
MANsion House.—Mary Smith, a woman near 6o
years of age, was brought before the LORD IMAYOA,
charged by one of the City officers with getting
drunk, and behaving in a riotous and diforderly
manner. The officer Rated, that he had taken her
up the day before on Dmegate.bill ; !he was ex-
tremely drunk, had jolt thrown off her clothes, and
was dancing almoft naked up and down the greet,
making a great noife and dillurbance in. the neigh-
bourhood, on which account he apprehended her.—
The woman Rated, that flue had been three years in
trouble, and having only got out of it that day, her
Mends had treated her to foam gin.
One of the officers informed his Lordfhip, that
the prifoner had been tried at the Old Bailey, and
was fentenccd to be tranfported for feven years ;
but being afterwards pardoned, Ore was fent to the
Hnufe of Correeion for two years, and only got out
yefterday.
The Loan MAYOR, after reprimanding her, dif-
miffed her for the prefent, but adviled her to take
care of herfelf for the future.
A few days ago as a boy, about ten years old, be-
longing to a Chimney-fweeper, was employed in
cleaning a funnel, at Befall, his matter not fucceed-
ing in making him come down, after repeated orders
