THEATRES.

DRVRY-LANF.-•—Mr. STEPHEN KIMBLE'S Fakiel
again drew a very crowded houfe at this Theatre ;
but he wants the rich humour and nice difcrimina-
tion which marked the fat Knight of lisrintasoN.
The latter, for inaance, looked round with an
arch and enquiring eye, as if afking whether the
ridicule on his cowardice could be parried by a
joke, before he bura into the exclamation " Do ye
I did not know ye?" With Mr. KEMBLE, the
jea of this ludicrous burg was more than half
dearoyed by its abruptnefs. There are other
parts,
however, in which his difcrimination me-
rited, and had due applaufe. The remark .in the
ialiaFt.whtn with fwollenboaftinghefays "There's
Perry for you," has feldom been better given.

being meafured—only (even paces—and the ufrial
ceremonies performed, the chance of the firti fire
fell on Captain P—, when the Eaft-India Gen-
tleman received the ball of his antagonitt on the
button of his right fleeve : it perforated the fleeve
to the elbow, grazing the skin ; and, paling
:Irons)) the lap of the coat, came out between the
two hip buttons, without the
.Gentleman futtain-
ing any further injury. He fired his piaol into
the water : the feconds immediately interfered; an
amicable adjuilment took place, and the parties
quitted the ground, well fatisfied with the conduit
of both Gentlemen, and the happy termination of
the affair.
