Independent of the Prize Poems and Speeches,
the Extrasls from Demofihenes and Harris, and
the fcencs from Medea and Caraaacus, met with
univerfal approbation ; nor were th other young
Performers by any means deficient in merit.

Lord Nacsott is introduced into a new Drama-
tic Piece, in one aft, lately brought out at Paris,
entitled, " The French Painter in London." The
name of Lord Swie/ (the anagram of his name) is
given to his Lordfhip, and he is introduced in a
manner not at all derogatory to the high charafter
which he holds all over Europe.
The Prince of ORANGE is furnifhing one of the
callles of Siegen, in Wdlphalia, the former refi-
dence of the reformed line of NASSAU SIEGEN.

Tne valuable reetory of Oxfett, in Effex, is va-
cant, as well as that of Stanford Rivers, by the
tranflation of Dr. BEADON, to the fec of Bath and
Wells.

The POPE certainly aged with parental tender-
nefs and difcriminating favour, in giving the Pa-
rifians a P/eawy in/fa/genet. Many of them have
need of it, and of abfolufion Wu!
It is curious that the Irifh Houfe of Commons
fhould at length become the abode of a company of
gooney changer:. Had people of that defcription
been driven out of it many years ago, perhaps it
had been well !

Though people are ignorant of the time of the
arrival of the ratifications of peace, they are like
the wife virgins, and keep their lava trimmed.
Mr. HEaTHCOTF, who met with fuch an unfor-
tunate accident at Newmarket, is likely to recover,
though his whole body is fo crulhed that it is much
feared he will always be a cripple.
The new Comedy of Faflionable Friend:, per-
formed for the fecond time yeilerday evening, at
Drury-lane Theatre, has been withdrawn.

The Treafury of Drury-lane Theatre was rob-
bed on Tuefday night. The plunder was effeded
by breaking open the'delk of Mr. Peake, the Trea-
finer. Fortunately no greater furn than so
neas was found. An enquiry has been fet on foot;
but no difcovery has refulted from it.
Madame HILLIGSBERG has again had the mif-
fortune to (pain her foot, the confequence of her
uncommon exertions on Tuefday Lift.
An affecting, and at the fame time ludicrous
tierce, was exhibited a few days fince : A failor,
who had-been abfent from his country (ince the
commencement of the watyand- •was fuppofed
dead by his friends, unexpedettty-came to town
about ten days fince, with his pockets pretty well
filled with the fruits of his hard-earned fervices.
Immediately on his arrival he haftened to the (pot
where he had left his wife and child ; but the had
left her place of refiaence fome years back, and
was gone nobody knew where. Still he was de-
determined to find her, if alive, and wandered
wherever his fancy direded, in hopes of gaining
fome intelligence of her fate ; he had almolt ex-
haußed himfelf in the fearch, and given up all
hopes of finding her, when chancing to pats a
Rivet, near the Seven Dials, he heard a woman
crying water creffes—the found arrefted his atten-
tion—he thought he recognifed the voice of his for-
mer helpmate; for a moment he doubted his fenfes,
fearcely believing his wife could have experienced
fuch a reverfe of fortune, but on coming nearer,
his doubts were removed; with a tumult of joy,
not to be defcribed, he fnatched the bafket from
her arm, threw the creffes into the area, and
gave her as comple,,e a hug as honeft and ro-
bull affedion was cable of performing.—The
poor woman was no lets furprized, and burg
into tears, which the jolly tar loon difpelled with
a comforting drop of the creature. A thoufand
queitions were now :diced and refolved in a minute,
when the failor hauled away his bride to a cloaths
thop in the neighbourhood, where he rigged her
from Rem to Rein, calling her old ones into the
flreet ; after which he called a coach, and rode
away in triumph, (wearing, that now he had found
his wandering rib, he was the happieß dog alive.
On Sunday evening tan, about ten o'clock, Mrs.
Sibery, of Lambeth, being on her return home
from a friend's, where the had (pent the day, was
flopped by two footpads in Brooke-areet, at the
back of Welt-fquare, under the paling belonging
to the gardens of Mr. Hedger ; one with a pißol,
which he prefented in her face and (truck her--
With dreadful imprecations they demanded her
money, or he would blow her brains out. She fell
nn her knees, and begged he would not kill her,
and he fhould have what money the had, when
another man crated the way,and they both fearch-
ed her pockets, and took from her her pude and
I pocket-book. They made off towards Welt-fquare.
