The Ann Eliza, FEARON, of Whitehaven, is
arrived ai Sligo, in Ireland, coal laden from Li.
verpool, after one of the molt difficult and tedious
paffages (thirty-two days) ever heard off : and in
which the crew fuffered the greaten diftrefs.

A fufpicion having lately arifen at Covent Gar-
den Theatre, that perfons got admittance by forged
orders of Madame STORACI and BRAHAII; the
matter was put in a train of examination a few
nights ago, on fome people prefenting fuch orders.
It was difcovered, that they had been forged by a
perfon lately fervant to Mr. BRAHMA, who had
lublilted fume time by felling them.—The culprit
was detained for examination to-morrow, when
BRAHAII and STORACE are to attend at Bow-iireet
Office.

DRURY LANE THRATRR.-MT.TURNtR made a
fecond appearance laft night, in the character of
Richard the Third, which he performed in a manner
that didhim great credit. Having by hisformer repre.
ftntation made hionfelf praCtically acquainted with
the boards which he was again to tread, and ac
quired more confidence from the favourable re-
ception he had experienced, he teemed to feel him-
felt more at home, and confequently did more jut-
tice to his own powers.
His conception of the charaCter teems to be en-
tirely his own. Indeed, in as far as different per-
Eons, conceiving properly the intention and fpirit
of the Author, would agree ill their attempt to
exprefs it, he may be confidered as apparently ft-
milar to tome who have performed the fame cha-
raaer ; but this, in our mind, adds to his merit ;
for (till his Richard is his own—exhibiting his own
phyfical powers, and fuck a nice and correct difcri.
mination throughout, as evinces him to have taken
Nature herfelf for his model.

The boldnefs, diffirnulation, and hypocrily of
the tyrant, were never 101 l fight of for a moment ;
and where Mr. TURNER differed from others in
thy- colour ing given to the character, it feemed evi,
dently not to relish from a defire of fingularity,
bitt.from a manly firmnefs and refolution trigive
the part according to his own conceptions of the
A Whirr. We with this were more the cafe with
ail candidates for public favour'.
Mr. TURIIRR, we underfiand, has devoted his
Come and talents for Come years to the tlage, as a
profeffion for the maintenance of his family. If we
be allowed to judge from the proficiency he has
already made, we may alien, that ere long, he
will hand fecond to none upon the Englith Itage.
Even now we think we only repeat what the feitici
of the horde expreffett in the molt unequivocAl
manner, that he would be agreat acquifitiou to the
1.1404d0u boards.
