It is a curious circumflance in the hiftory of the
late Sir GEORGE WARREN, that he and his Lady
were feparated by a decifion of the Ecclefiaflical
Court, in confequence of complaints again( each
other, not arifing from any alts of criminality on
either fide, but from 6, incompatibility of temper,"
and perfonal habits mutually repave. Thcfe
mutual objections were flrongly (fated in Court,
and teemed to indicate unappeafeable antipathy;
yet after this public expofition of their grievances,
refentmeata, and averfions, they came together
again and lived with each other till death produced
the final feparation.
Rinaldo Rinalebni, revived for the prefent week
at the ROYAL Ciactis, St. George's Fields, is as

/equal its China, by its van fplendour and excellent
Mufic, is alto univerfally elleemed.

purfued by the- officer, who preffed to dole upon
him, that after rufhing down the fteep hill to the
Paffage, with the greateft rapidity, he plunged his
horfeAnto the water, and attempted to gain the
oppofite (bore. The horfe had not fwarn half way
over, before, exhaufted with fatigue and the load
on his back, he was on the point of finking, when
the intrepid rider Rid from his back, and with his
knife it the flings of the ankers, and fwana along-
fide his horfe, exerting himfelf to keep his head
above water, but all to no purpofe ' • the horfe was
drowned, and the man, with difficulty, reached
the (bore. The lefs mettlefome excifeman had
halted on the (bore, where he furveyed the inef-
feaual ftruggle, and, afterwards, with the help of
the ferrymen, got poffefGost of the miters.

This place is crowded how beyond all prece-
dent. The hotels, the lodging-houfes, and even
the hay-loftscare fully occupied. It is doubted, if
the approaching coronation at Mofcow will pro-
duce a greater fquabbling about beds, and their
accompaniments.
