Lady Patmeasrow has ellablifhed a Soap-fh,

plied with large proportions, at moderate prices.
The Duke of That has ordered a pound of

a month's furlough to fee their friends.

day evening, on the Serpentine River, unfortn-
nately advanced on a part of the ice which wa;

Convenience of the fwans, and is now filled up.
The Serpentine is every day crowded with Fa-
fhionaMer, fome °caking, tome fliding, and the relt
as fpeftators. Among the flatters, yellerday, we
noticed Mr. MASTER; and Mr. WEs+ of the Roza'
AcadeMy, who entertained and edified a group of
youthful Exhibitors with a Lellure upon etnat.united
elegance. upon which he threw fo much Ii ht
clearly evinced he is no dauber in his profegion.
The following trick, which has lately been
played in Paris, though yery ingenious, has not
the merit of originality :—A Lady, elegantly
drafted, went to the (hop of an Apothecary, and
defired a private conference with him. After a
long preface, fhe acquaintedeltim that it was with
extreme concern that (he had obferved the health
of her only fon daily declining • that (he feared
his illnefs was the confequence of youthful indif.
cretion, which he was affiantql to acknowledge.
She therefore entreated the Apothecary to extras
the fecret from him, and to take him under his
cafe, for which (he promifed a handfome corn.
penfation. The difciple of ESCULA PIUS made
great promifes, and the Lady took her leave.
—She then drove to a filk.mercer—fhe pur-
chafed filks to ; large amount, and defired the
Mercer to fend one of his young men with her
for the money. She took the lad- and the filks in
the coach, and drove to the Apothecary's, intro-
duced them to each other, and left them together.
After a few minutes 'Hence, the young man ten-
dered the bill for the (Ilk. The Apothecary,
thinking it was a written ftatement of his cafe,

and laughable equivoque took place before the
trick was difcovered.

A (angular eircumflanee happened on Twelfth-
night.—A Mr. H. went to a paftry•cook's !hop,
in tleet-flreet, about twelve o'clock at night, tq
purchafe 4 cake; and after repeatedly kqoair•s;
a woman, half afleep, came from a back p
and on entering the !hop exclaimed, hulbl'ele
we have loft our Me; Cate /"-- 11,6 r.tt
into the chop, and t'4)..d Mr. H. with hariug dokit
it; however, after an explanation, t appeared
fome other perfol bad done that, at' accordingly
Mr. H. purchafed a cake, 'an,' wept about his -
Gnefs.—ln his wa) home, the Sony rid, of
Blackfriar's.bridge, overtook a man with a
large parcel upon rig head, and immediately
walked up to him, and endeavoured to learn the
contents, fuf?eeting he was the perfon who had
committed the theft : he followed him fome time,
till an opportunity offered of communicating
his furpicions to the patrole, who affifted him in
fecnring the thief, but not until after a moll def-
perate refiflanse, in which the fellow drew a
knife, and threatened irritant deftruElion to any
one who fhould endeavour to take him; when it
proved to be the very cake 'u ft ftolen from the fhop.
On Thurfday he was had before the Magilhates at
Union-hall, when the paltry-cook was fent for, and
(wore to the ingredients, and his (errant proved
the ornaments upon it to be thofe he placed there.
The cake was valued at 455. and he was accord-
ingly committed u pon the capital charge of private.

at threduing Old Bailey Seffions.
