The death of Lady I-Jou:mums! occafions a
vacancy among the Lachei of the Bed-Chamber.
The (../EIN and PRINCESSES always !hewed her
Ladyiblp the greaten regard.

The complaint of the late Countefs of HOLDER.
N asse,whofe death was announced in our Mortuary
Lift of yefterday, was a cancer in the mouth, which
had deftroyed the upper jaw and part of the tongue.
The original caufe of this dreadful malady was a
cancer in the left breaft, which had increafed to
fuch to ;darning degree, as to render amputation
neceffary ; that operation took place about two
ye..rs ago, fince which period her Ladythip appa-
rently recovered, when unhappily the diforder
again broke out in the mouth, and daily increafed
until life became a burthen. After experiencing
the moft excruciating torture, the diforder became
fatal, and terminated her exiltence.
COVE/IT-GAR DEN.—Laft night the play of Spred
the Plough, was fubflituted at Covent-Garden fur

DR ir-LAN I.—An apology was la ft night made
for the abfence of Mifs Port, who is indifoofed, and
Mrs. SPARER undertook the charadcr of the Widow
Racket, in The Belle': Stratagem, at a very Ilion no-
tice. She performed it with very great ability.
REYNOLDS' new Comedy has been read in
the Green-room of Covent-garden Theatre, and
will be immediately put into rehearfal. It com-
bines, in the call of its charaflers, all the comic
ftrength of the Houle, except FawcaTr.
The Author of the new Play thinks he pct the
Lawyer's integrity fufficiently to the tell by mak-
ing him refufe to commit adultery. Would it not
be a better tell to tempt him with atm from both
parties?
It has often been Paid that a cat has nine lives;
this has been, in fome meafure, verified on board
a fhip called the Amazon, of Howslen Dock, late-
ly arrived from Peterfburgli, with hemp : a cat
had got into the hold among the hemp, and could
not be got out again without partly unloading the
(hip ; and the crew aditally heard her cries for
twelve days, before the died.
Some of the young Gentlemen of Wellminfter.
fchool having left week been addrefted with the
infulting appellation of treaeher-cap, by an inhabi-
tant of one of the fircets adjacent to their premifes,
took a fummary vengeance on the offender, by
flogging him. The man made a complaint to the
matter, Dr. VINCENT, declaring, at the fame time,
that he would leek recirefs at law from the princi-
pal offender. The mailer, withing to keep peace
with all his neighbours, and zealous for the pre-
fervation of the difcipline of the fchool, prepared'
to inflid corporal chaftifement. The ftucknts had
not lived In near Weftminfter-hall to no purpofe ;
they remonftrated that it it was unjuft that any
perfon fliould be punifhed twice for the fame of-
fence.—The matter perfifted in his refolution, and
the (Indents prepared to rebel.
Accordingly, on Friday morning, after throw-
ing fome books on the head matter's table as a
fignal of revolt, they marched out of fchool in a
body, broke the windows of Dr. WING; If S. D, the
fecond mailer, and abfented themfelves from all
duty for the hole of that day; but, on the next
day, refled:oa, and the advice of their friends, had
already convinced them of their folly t the culprits
returned, repentant and fubmiffive.
The principal offender, he who had been moll
a4flive in flogging the man, yielded himfelf to pu-
niffiment ; and the principal inftigator of the re-
bellion (a near relation a-die kith Chancellor of
the Exchequer), was fenteneed to expulfion.
(tnetnefs is now entirely reitored,and the turbu-
lent children, have, for henceforth, renounced -all
prat eras, except thole of Terms, previous to their
vacctaces.
