nation. -

The fracas between Mr. Lirrit and tome of our
worthy Magibates, has occupied no inconfiderable
portion of the talk of our fathionable idlers here. This
Gentleman had obtained pertniffion to erect a fort of
penn or inclofure in the market place of Sandwich,

Quorum, remarkable for their zeal for the privileges
of the town, afterwards convened. feat for workmen

Since the years 1775. 1785, 1788, and 179 R, there
has not been fueh a deficiency of water as at prefent.
The ponds are moitly dry; and cattle are, in
places, driven to;7e, to water. The inhabitants of
South Shields are nearly without, and are palling
night and day acrofs the 'Tyne with tubs, pails, &c
to North Shield., for a little frefh water.
EI,OPZISIINT.—Annther elopement took place on
Friday lag. from a Villa near Croydon, which has
given ferious alarm to the relatives of the female.)
who are refpeelable charalers in life, of good for-
tune. The feducer was a vifitant in the family, of 30
years of age. The deluded female is a child in flocks,'
of 14 years of age, and, even of chore tender years,l
remarkable childith appearance. AU the trace that
has yet been made of their tranfit is, that on Sunday
morning lag perfons anfwering their defcription took
a hackney roach from the Stones End, in the 80.
rough. and putting in their baggage, a few light
boxes and bundles, drove to Gracechnrch•fireet,
where they alighted and put their baggage in the bar,
as if waiting to go by a Rage coach. They form
(hilted from thence in another hackney coach, drove
off, and have not fince been heard of.
Covsuv Gaanaw.—Lag night Mr. H. Lewis, the
fon of the popular anor of that name, made his firft
appearance in London, in the charaner of Frederic,
in the Comedy of thc Poor Gertilemos; and afterwards
in Spire Groom, in Love.a-la-Mode. This new Candi.
date for metropolitan fame, we underhand, has per-
formed for Come time with much eclat in the coun-
try, particularly at Liverpool, and he appears to por-
ters Rage reqnifites of no common order ; he was,
however. fo completely a far/intik of his father, in
every thing he attempted last night, that perhaps he
failed to make that full impreffion of which his ta-
lents may be capable when dilplayed in charaners
not fo eaclufively in poffeffion of that Gentleman.—
His figure is well formed, and his face lirongly
marked. The tone of his voice is not exanly that of
the fenior Lewis, but he manages it after (he fame
manner, and his anion is as it were automatically like
that of the original He was much applauded, both
in the play and farce. The audience, till half price,
was rather thin.
DK ut v Lay I.—The chief attranion at this houfe
was Mifs Due can's Mrs. Oakley, in */ he :Palen Wf,,
which the performed with her wonted fpirit.
ether female charaners were rather languidly fop.
ported. This bode aWo was not well filled at firft
account.
