public charities in town.

Lord HAWRISSURT returned to town from
Worthig yefterday, where he has been a week.
Poftmg bills were !tuck op in moll pasts of the
town yefterday, cawing liberal bounties for fu-
mes for 'loops and other fmall chips of war.
At Lunn s Coffee-houfe, on Saturday, in doing
policies for the Mediterranean, an attempt was
made to except captures or feitures. This created
tome !lht agitation; but yefterday it had wholly
fubflded and no fuck exceptions were attempted.
The barracks at Norman Croft, which, during
the Ld year of the war, (erred as a receptacle for
prifoners of war, were lately advertifed to be fold
by Government ; but within thefe few days pall
the order to that effect has been countermanded. -

Lord GRIT de 'turn's, after a very pleafant
tour through Scotland, has returned to London.
Lord Wurrworra's horfes fpend their time
very pleafantly at Paris. There arc about twenty
of them in high keeping, having nothing to do.
The Noble Lord and his Duchefs are abfolutely
immured at Knowle, having no horfes to draw
them about.

Yellerday was held Norm Fair, which was, as
dual, numetoully attended, and there was fo
muchfaw and fro& going forward, that no fear
could be entertained of the Horn Charter being for-
feited I

Friday morning, two Dover boats ditcovered a
gead whale &lung down the Channel, midway
between Dover and Calais and towed it on Store
near Shakefpeare's Cliff. It is 81 feet long, and
between so and 6o in girth. The tall, from one
fork to the other, meafures 20 feet.

Mr. Lewis.—We feel much pain in mentioning
a fudden and ferious fit of Hines with which this
excellent and favourite Comedian was yefterclay
feized, but from which we hope he will pettedly
recover. Mr. Lawn has, always been very atten-
tive to exercife and his health, which he has hi-
therto enjoyed in an unufual degree for a man of
his years, now near laity. He looked healthy and
ruddy, was light and Olive as a man of thirty.five.
Yeßerday, in rehearfing REYNOLDS'S new Coinedy
of Delay: sad Mulder:, it was obferved that he had
an unufual flulh of colour in his face, but nothing
was thought of it. He went through the rehearfal
of REYNOLDS'S new Comedy, when, foon after .one
o'clock, beginning the late aft, he fuddenly .flood
Rill, and, to the furprize of every one, ceifed to
(peak; the Prompter continued prompting; after
about half a minute, Mr. Lewis exclaimed—.
" Ah 1 ah 1" and whirling round, as if by giddi.
nefs, he fell down. Every one immediately flew
to his affillance ; he was lifted into a chair, bit
neckcloth untied, and it was evident he had fallen
down in an apopleeic fit. Pains were taken to pre-
vent news of the accident going to Mrs. Lewis,
and Mr. Baows, the Surgeon, of Bow-Rreet, was
called in; but it being reconciled that Mr. Wit.-
son, Surgeon, of Argyle-Rreet, was Mr.l.swis's
particular friend, be was fent for alfo. Mr. Lawn
was cupped and 'bled; and in fomething more
than in hour after the fit came on, he recovered
his fades and fpeech. The fira thing he did was
to refire that Mrs. Laws fhotdd be font for ; this
was done, and Mr. Lewis confiderably recovered
was conveyed home in a carriage. We were hap-
py to hear lalt night that be was very mach reco--1
vered, and in a fith• Iry of doing well; and we
fincerely hope that fo good a father and a hothead
will for a hog dee continue as ornament to ow I
Rage.

Public curiofity, fo much excited by the admi-
rable reprefentations of this fchool on former oc-
cafions, may very naturally expea, that of the
prefent performance we make, as ufual,fome brief
report.

Shyloci, the Jew, as the mot prominent character
in the piece, firft prefents himfelf to notice.

Great as is the undertaking of fuch a part, even
to thofe who have made the drama the profeifion
of life, yet in the diverfified powers of this young
gentleman, our espeaations have not been baulk.
ed. Beyond the builnefs of nage eke, he had
well imagined the deep defigns of the vindiaive
Shylock *gain(! the Chriftian Merchant, and
ftrongly marked them to the audience by look,
aaion, and utterance.

The charafter of .fitodo was molt ably fup-
ported. He conveyed to the heart, by an inteUi-
gent and chalk Kyle of aging, all thofe noble
qualities of refolute friendfhip and undaunted af-
feaion, which the part of Antonio is calculated to
iafpire.
• filled his character extremely well, and
in foam parts of the laft as was excellent.
Lorenzo was diftinguilbed for his elegant ap-
pearance and correa deportment.

Grails:to aged with much fpirit and humour.
Mott inimitably did Lomat, the Jew's fervant,
acquit himfelf. His terrified vifage and droll
grimace in the firuggle between confcience and
the fiend's advice, kept the whole company in
continued laughter, and equally well did he main-
tain a ihrewdnefs of humour in his dialogue with
GsMs, who reprefented the old man with great
jufiice.
The Duk of realts has confiderable claims on
our approbation. He fupported the character
with eafy and graceful satire, with fuitable and
dignified exprellion.
Portia we cannot fay too much in commen-
dation ' • but we would referve the height of praife
till the fifth att. All the performers in that grand
fcene appeared by collifion to advance in greatnrfs.
The (peaking eyes and pathetic exhortations of the
tender-hearted Portia feemed to intereft every
heart, except that of the ttern and unrelenting
Jew, who teemed the more intent on glutting his
favage cruelty, by an immediate execution of the
bond; but when he is threatened with the penalty
of death, if in cutting the powgd of "eh he lied
one drop of blood—the quit lc tranfition of appro-
priate ration in the look, pofture, and expreffionof
each performer, made a very striking impreffion,
and exhibited a piece of fuperlative tieing. In.
the pante, which was made by Portia, after the
line " Tarry a little—there is fomething
the expreffion of wonder and anxiety on the face
of the characters produced an died which we have
feldom Peen equalled, and which deferved and re-
ceived a protracted Writ of applaufe.
Naffs, as likewife 7firtea' were defervedly ad-
mired in their retpeaive characters for propriety
of expreffion and gracefulnefs of manners.
The limits of our paper will not allow us to
dame each performer feparately, or to do ample
*lice to thole principal characters which wihave
already mentioned. Every performer, in the part
' allotted to him, is entitled to the merit of having
done it well.

The dreffes were new and rich. The fcenery,
efpecially that of the Rialto, bad a grand effeEt.
Mr. HATZLL. we underltand, is the ingenious
atilt. As What the Theatre was filled on each
night with the beauty and failtion of the town and
neighbourhood, who were liberal in their applaufe.
Tickets of admiilion for the two lait evenings
were in fuch requeft, that very many refpettable
applications for them could not be gratified.
The prologue and epilogue will appear in a
future paper. The former is the compofition df
Mr. Pvs, the latter of Mr. Bottom).

On Saturday a molt numerous and highly re-
fpeetable Meeting of the Ekdors for the County
of Middlefea took place at Hayes, near Uxbridge.
Mr. Alderman Comm one of the Reprefentatives
in Parliament for the City of London, was in the
Chair. A number olloyal and patriotic toafts
were given from the Chair, which were received
in the moil rapturous manner, and the bonnet's of
the day paired off with great hilarity and decorum.
A Warrant has been ifued at the iniligation of
Mr. HAIIDIIIIOI, the Wel& Judge, who happened
to be rang through &Arab on a tour, againti

wick, atc. by reprefenth Colonel ALIMANDRA
