Lystryt's Boy had crawl'd on hands and knees
Clore to the d•zzy margin of a rock :
When lo! her Son the frantic Mother fees,
And with a Mothor's pang< receives the (hock.
To ftir was death—great GOD ! what could the do,
(Sure fame kind Deity around her watch'd)
She bar'd ber Areal—it caught the pratder's view ;
And from the brink of fate the unconfcious viEtim fnatch'd.
BRISTOL, JAN.IBO7.

CHIFFWEY, that celebrated jockey, has departed
this life. Says a grave punhler, "he has run his race."
DBURY LANE—Had tall night a refpe&able au-
dience to the attractive Opera of Palle Alarms, which
is now a decided, and deferted favourite.
Govsar GARDEN.•COORE was quite himfelf in
the Man of the World. It is an admitable and finifhed
performance. Mother Goofe produced many Golden
Fggs.
The Theatre at Sunderland, lag week, narrowly
efcaped being deflroyed by fire. About three o'clock
on Tuefday morning, one of the Managers, who fleeps
in a houfe attached to it, was alarmed by the fmell
of burning, when he found the orcleftra in flames.
He immediately procured afiflance ; and the fire
was got under with little more damage than the lots
of what fiddles, milk, &c. had been left in the or-
cheftra. "It is fuppofed that the fire originated from
Tome of the lamps being left unextinguithed.
The inhabitants of Sunderland and Bifhopwear-1
mouth have lately been much annoyed by an appari-
tion, to which they have given the name of the
White Man. On Tuefday fe'nnight, in the evening,
one of the players going home, attempting to feize it,
was hauled along with as much cafe as if he had
been a walking-flick, and then furioufly dafhed upon
a heap of (loner, which bruited him to much, that
he was obliged to fend for a &dor. A more ferious
circurnflance happened a few nights before :—A
poor woman was found dead at the bottom of the
bank in Panfield, and it is forpofed that the tumbled
over it through affright at thi, diflorber of the pub-
lic quiet. We do not hear that. any effedual means
have been taken to detect and bring him to juflice.
WA2s3.—This ancient cnitom was left 'is by the
Saxons. Tim-, that makes aiterati'm in ctlier cuf-
toms, has totally invested this. When a church was
ereded, it was immediately called after a Saint, put
under his proedion, and the day belonging to that
Saint kept in the church as a high feflival. In the
evening preceding, the inhabitant., with lights, ap-
proached the church, and kept a continual devotion
during the whole night, hence the name Wake ; after
which, they entered into feftivity. But now the de-
votional part is forgot, the church is deferted, and
the feflivity turned into tint, drunkennefs, and mif-
chief. At Staley Bridge Wake, lately, bull•baiting
and brutality were pradifed in all the refinements of
taße. After baiting and worrying the noble animal
nearly to death, they took him into a barn, where
they humanely extinguifhed the little remains of life,
and before they could completely take off his tkin,
tome of the Hottentots cut millers warm from the
rump, and devoured them, after a few minutes f dz.
zling, with the voracious ferocity of tigers
Tuefday the tith loft. at the Satan, of Mnate, in
Ireland, Thomas Dolan was tried before the juttices
and Atlillant Bart itter, and found guilty of uttering
and making ale of treafonable exprefEons, ringing
difloyal longs, and drinking difloyal toafts ; he was
fentenced to twelve months trap ifonment in the gaol
of Mullingsr, to Rand four days in the pillory in the
towns of Mullingar, Moue, Athlone, and Ballymore,
with a label expreflive of his crime, and to give leen-
rity to keep the peace for feven years.
