old Comedy of The Double Gallant was revived at
the above Theatre, with confiderable firength of
call. The Sir &lowa Sadlije of Kira is a cor-
red and mafterly delineation, partaking, perhaps,
rather too much of the peculiar tinaure of all this
aitor's old men. Atall, by CHARLAR KURILE, is
better than moll of his comedy gentlemen. BAR-
RY Moe 6 isfufficiently at eafe in Carelefi, and Su I r
Supple is an admirably grotefque performance.

(the lady who came out in Roxalana tome little
time fince), fupport the parts of Lady Sadhfe, Cla-
rinda, and Sylvia, with confiderable fpirit.—The
play was, haft night, as well received throughout
as could be expelled from an audience of the nine-
teenth century, the dialogue being certainly too
highly coloured, in many paffages, for chalk ears,
and might, we think, be pruned here and there to
advantage.

The Mafqnerade on Terefday night at Ranelagh
was more diflinguifhed for general felicity and
humour than for any very prominent chars ers or
fuccefsful reprefentation of manners or caricature.
There was more good humour than wit, and more
good (pints than difplay. Parties and groups
feemed to enjoy the evening, and the Suppers,
and the Harlequins, Columbines, Qi2ack Doetors,
Savages, and Sailors, feemed only to be the en-
tertainment of private Companies. The gaiety of
the Affembly lafted till fix in the morning, when
it rapidly difperfed, though all were not gone till
near eight. The only maks worth notice were
company who perforated the Northern Confe-
deracy. The vulgar mißook them for Amen.
can Savages, but they were loon diftinguilhed by
the name of the Four Kings. The Neutral Kings
had different mafits,which they changed veryoften,
and with great addrefs impofed snore whimfically
upon each other, th an upon dlehoriators, who enjoyed
their hypocrify and confafion. An excellent bal-
lad finger kept the company in harmony, while
fidler amufed them " to fome tune," till (upper,
which is the general harmonizer of Englifhhumour.
The refrehments, &c. were fulficiendy good and
plentiful.
Colonel THOLIITON made a bet that he killed
400 head of Game at 400 fhots. The refult was,
that in the year 1800, he bag'd 417 head of Game
(confifting of Partridges, Pheafants, Hares, Snipes,
and Woodcocks), at 41s !hots. Enumerated
hmongft there are a black wild Duck and a white
Pheafant Cock, and at the laft point lie killed a
brace of Cock Pheafants one with each %arrel, on
the leg of the one lift killed, (an amazing fine
bird) was found a ring proving that he had been
taken by Colonel THORNTON when hawking, and
turned out again in the year 179 a.
General Nriat, who has lately arrived at Paris
from Egypt, has prefented to the near Cow suss
tortus in bafaltes, of infinite beauty. It reprefents
the body of a young man, of fifteen years of ages
and the anatomy is perfedt. It was found in the
Delta, and belonged to the temple of Bcbet. It
is judged by, the naasrfetirr to be the moll perfea
fpecimen of the arts difcovered in Egypt. Serra!
of the hieroglyphics appear as if they had been
carved but yellerday.
At the Corn Exchange yeftcrday, Wheat !till

Fine Flour appeared to be fixed at t3os.
It is with pleafure we announce, that in Had•

Laft night a fire broke out in a boufe behind
Guy's Hofpital. For Came time no water could be
procured, and the fire threatened to make farther
ravages ;'but two or three engines fucceeding
playing again ft it, it was loon pin out without much
damage to the adjoining prcmifes.
A knout riot lately took place at Wigton,

and removal of grain. The volunteers of Newton
