A new Play, of three las; Was brought out daft

Aeration of a play of that name by Mumma,
who,. in his preface, acknowledges to have bor-
rowed the Rol from the Englith novel .of Sydoety
IThithilph. The Ifnry, therefore, is very well.
known. It is limply this :
Mr. Woodville (the Merchant) returning from
India, after a refidenie there'for nearly so years,
with immenee wealth, is deßrous to felea the moR
worthy of his relatives for his heir. He therefore
'fumes the garb of poierty, and makes his firft
tray on Mr:. and Mrs. Vane, a fathionable and
difipated pair, who literilly turn him out of doors.
From thence he gbes to, the lifter's, a Mrs. Mel-
ville, a with)* with two children, fubfifting on
.the labour of their hands. Here he experiences
wry different treatment; and.the poor widow not

PARISTAIN FasattiiiLat—The head dreff:s now
moll in favenir are botany, or veils thrown far
hack, and lea;lng half the hair uncovered. The
turbans are made of alinoft every fort of &awls,
and &it gives 'rife to a wonderful variety, both in
the Ihape and colours. Their general forth is rae
tber oval than round. There is feareely a hat to
be Teen that has a border over the neck, and they
sre almoll trimmed with a plated talk. Some
ate rote colour, others &y blue,; but the prevail-

softly trimmings of poppy colour. White Rraw
fiats have almoß entirely gone out of falbion.—
hullers are but rarely and fparrogly worn. Poppy
Rowers of a bright red are very generally worn in
the fore patt of the head drefs, more efpecially
when it confitis only of the hair with a veil. The
Savoy kerchiefs of embroidered tells, in imitation
ibf lace, are Rill pretty much in ufe. Low waifis
arc almoft general, but full Beeves are getting out
of fafhion ; fame are made full, and (welling only
fer a third of the arm, where a bracelet is fixed,
and the remainder of the Reeve is made tight.—
Shun fkeves are turned like a drapery with a
button, which are inofily made of a diamond or
(nine precious Rone. Square (hawk of Smyrna

whole length.though in general they are very large.
