Jolt after half-price took place, the Ladies and
Gentlemen in•orte of the front boxes were alarmed
by the cry of fire from behind the boxes, but not
loud enough to be heard by the houfe in general :
they immediately role, and feeing nothing, were
inclinable to be feated again ; but hearing it re-
pealed, they began to make their way out of the 1
houle, .and every part of the houfe was immedi-
ately alarmed, and the greateft confufion took
place. Many from the gallery began to throw '
themfelves over into the pit ; others ran to the
(lairs and chnaked the pail:age up, while fome fell
headlong down the (lairs, and were trode upon by
others pang down. Ladigs and Gentlemen from
*the upper boxes threw themfelves into the pit, and
Made their way over the orcheftra unto the Rage.

'On Monday evening, about half-paft 7 o'clock,
as two gentlemen who had been taking a walk,
were returning from Salillinry Craigs, they ob-
ferved a fellow of a very fufpicions appearance
dogging them for fome time. A little on this fide
of the echoing-rock he fprung forward, and pre-
fenting a paint to the breaft of one of the gentle-
men, demanded their money ; which amounting,
luckily, only to a few fhillings, he received, and
ialtantly flunk off, and, on Wednefilay night,
about the fame hour, as a young man was
walking in the King's Park, 'a fellow came up
to him, and, holding a piflal to his breall, de-
manded his money. Being informed he had
none, the fellow, after fearching his pockets,
pulled out the young man's watch ; but fome
people coming up, he returned it, and made off.
Two days ago, when a young lady was going
home by herfeif in the clofk of the evening, a (lout
fellow made up to her, and prefenting a d7gger,de,
manded her money. The lady immediately re-
plied, " 0, Sir, you (ball have my pude, it is not
that I care for, but,really fir, you have fo frighten-
ed me, that I (hall not be able to make home ; I
mull, therefore, intift you will take me under your
protection, and I !hall then give you my money
molt chearfully." So laying, the laid hold of his
arm, and he ablblutely efcorted her along Princes-
flreet, till the came to her own houie, when the of-
fered him her money, but he then r,:ftried accept-
ing it, and left her.
A man has been apprehended, and committed
to jail, on account of fome circumftances which
afford caufe for fufpeaing that he has been con-
cerned in fome of the robberies lately perpetrated
in this city. He is, befides, an old offender.
Laft night, a woman, in man's apparel, was ap-
prehended on the High ftreet, being very riotous,
