OPHaa FRACA s.—The arrangements for the Opera
next feafon, are not yet completely fettled. The
principal proprietor of the Theatre claims, under a
deed of agreement between him and the deceafed
Mr. Gold, the direaion of the entertainments ;
' and he hated in an advertifement, that he had pro.
ceeded to engage a company of performers for the
enfuing feafon. He appointed Mr. D'Egville to be
the Aaing Manager ; and that Gentleman has been
accordingly for fome time employed in preparing the
Theatre tor opening. On the other hand, Mr. Wa-
ters, a Gentleman who was appointed executor to
Mr. Goold, has been acing under his will as truftee;
and we underhand that be alfo has engaged a com-
pany, and he alfo has made preparations for opening.
Both parties have workmen in the Theatre. Both
are painting and decorating ; and both of them boats
of the fplendid exertions wnich will be made in the
fervice of the public. On Saturday !aft, as both
parties were at work in the Theatre, a tram took
plate, which is likely to bring the whole matter into
a Court of Law.

Mr. D'Egville was fuperintending the painters and
machinilis in the painting room, when Mr. Waters
interfercd, and, ordered them to della, and to quit
the place, c f which he wps in porfeffion. Mr. D'Eg.
vale declared that he would proud his people, and
wsrned Mr. Waters off the ptemifes. A kuile en.
fued, in which Mr. D'Egville accufed Mr. Waters
of being the aggreffor. He applied for a warrant
againa Mr. Waters for the arfault, and he was
brought up to Bow•flreet, and examined by Mr.
RkAD and Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. D'Egville petrified in
his charge, and Mr. Waters gave bail to appear at
the Quarter Seffions.

TO THE BOYNE.

Sweet flream ! for ev, r calmly gliaa,
Unruffled be thy glit:eting tide,
Ama ',ever may the warlike (train
Along thy flinre be heard again;
And never may thy tn.+rkling Band
Be ftain'd again with Irifh blond !
But may'it thou calmly glide aleng,

And only hair the Pot t's forg,
Who often to thy banks 'wig !tray
When evening fteals upon the day,
To fing of half-forgotten times—
Of forrows paft —of former crimes;
To ling the melancholy doom
Of chore who found a wat'ry tomb !
Of thofe who on thy flwre lay dead,
Who bravely fought—and bravely bled!
We bear the ftrain in furrow flow,
For times li;cr thofe awaken woe;
And, as the plaintiff tone we hear,
e guefs the roe drop. a tear !
But when he finps of future days,
Ills ardrt.t fancy feen to 'daze ;
And, fpreaeiing wide a brilliant light,
Makcs all the futi:re prefpedt bright!
He flogs of better days in ftore,
1t ben nifcord's •oice is heard no more;
• The time her jarring accents cede,
When Erin's harp is tun'd to peace,
The fwectell notes (hall fl 'at through air,
Thy glaiTy wave their etlence bear,
And never shall thy fparkling flood
Be Itairt'd again with lan blood!

AMELIA.

The near approach of the determination of the
immenfe Prize of 4.0,0001. in the prefent Lottery
Scheme, confirms an obfervation lately made, that
all the higher tidies of adventurers would make a
dafh at it, by the pot chafe of whole tickets. The
confequence obvioufly will be, that fewer Tickets
for fharing will remain in the Lottery Market. Such,
therefore, as with to obtain Shares of Tickets, fhould
lofe no further time in poffetTing them.
THE COMET..-..The following notice refpeaing this!
phenomenon has been given in the Moniteur of the Bth
intl. Mr. Pores. belonging to the Obfervitory at Mar
reales, was the firth atly,nomer who difcovered the
Comet in France, n the 20tit of lag month ; and M.
DE THUIS. of the fame etlablifhrnent, noticed it on
the alit .41. d 22d. Fr m the t,bfervati ors which they
cemmonicated to the alironomers at Paris, M.
BURCKHARDT determined the following orhi., which
he pretented to the clafs of mathematical and rtilo.

BURCKHARDT, will be fofficient to calcul?te the route
of the C-met, but it mr.y he dileovered without any
trouble being diiiinguilhable by tte naked r ye, as loon
as 1.4-,nt has clofed. It is now (Sept. 254) to the
left of Aram us, between the liars of the boreal crown
and thole of Libra to the wet,. Its motion is one
degree per day towards the north, and rather more
than a degree towards the call. This Comet was
alio hen on the 28th, at V, zhoal, and M. Ft.au6-Ett
GUES re: ccived it orl the 26th, at Viviers. It teemed
to him like a white nebulous fpot, very brilliant, and
fimilar to a liar of the fecond magnitude. It was fur-
rounded by 4 nebulofity of about fix minutes in dia-
meter, arse had z tail about a degree and a half in
length. It is the rrinion of the Intlitute, that this
Comet is different from any with %chic!. we are ac
qulintcd —A letter Iron: Munich, dated October 8,
fay Or, the IR inliant, a Comet was cbferved in
the N r h Writ f the horizon; it is large, and rather
pale. Its t.,il appearing directed towards the earth,
pre..ents a corral judgment being formed of its
length. Yelierday, at f..ven o'clock in the evening,
that Otnomenon again appeared. In the fall cen-
tury three Comets were feen, one in urcp, one in
174.0, and the other in 1768.
