DRURY.LANE THEATRE.

The Tragedy- of Romeo and gullet was brought
forward yelterday evening for the purpofe of in-
troducing Mrs. POPE, for the fir( time on this Rage,
in the character of Juliet. She was received on
her entrance with loud and reiterated plaudits, of
which the proved herfelf worthy, by as natural
and interelling a delineation of the part as has
been witneffed for many years on thefe boards.—
The Romeo of POPE poffeires much tendernefs and
animation, and in the tomb fcene he displayed
feveral traits of nice difcrimination.—Ba N sr E it%
Mfrettlio wants fpirit and humour, and above all,
it wants that freedom of deportment, •and tl.at
'lively action, which are fo necciCtry to give a per-
feet idea of the charat•ter.

The following eircunillance, as true as it is re-
markable, is communic.ced by a Correfpondent:—

" On the aid ult. kir. P. Martin,fluilent 05 Medicine in the
Univerfity of Edinburgh, on a visit to L:s t7i,:osis itt .Latin.ng,
;o;r:opted to crofs the 06Lill mountain: bttwiat Eaarofs and
Du 111 l it g. It was evening before he rouche.3 the moUl.tainF., and
a thick fog came on. He loft his way, was pre.i pita; t‘i from an
eminence into a deep guiph, and when he recovere.i from the
furprife ii.to which his Caddell fall h.rl thrown him, he found
hinifelf immerfed in a clizp wreath of frit", from which he
fried it inipoCibie to extricate hintfelf. lie. wa• therefore
obliged to matte a bet in the 11mw, by ;raring a in all din cations.
" In this li:ea:lass hc remained for fifteen or Ext...on hours.
not only in danger of fixing drifted up, but of being fi..rved to
death by the cad. The cold was fo imenf• that hc became
faintith, and trembled vehemently. In this fituati,an he re•
colledied that lie had brought from Edinburgh hi LI, kande.,
among other medicines, a quantity of g tnn, camphor, and manna,
fore of which he instantly (wallowed.
" The camphor produced a gl-wing heat, and as he cortinued
to (wallow bb:li it and the manna f:om time '9 time :al mere-
Mg that day light appeared, he was abl... by that t...._ to force
his way out of the Inov:y habitation, and as the fro .: i,A beam
feverely intenfe through the night, the furface of arc rein NV:.$
become fo hard as to bear him up tolerably w.:1l. :1•.! rc.ici:ed
Dunning the fame evening, but he has, in coniequ.nc,:., caught
a very fa arc cold."
When people are obliged to travel in revere
weather, they ought for their own lakes, to carry
a little gum-camphor in their pockets, as in cafe
of numhnefs it has the belt effeas. It is certain
but for it Mr. MAR ri s would have perifh:d in the
fnow.
On Friday night, about ten o'clock, an alarm-
ing fire broke out at a China (hop in Whitechapel-
, road, near Mile End, which threw the whole
neighbourhood into a (late of conliernation, in
confequence of no party walls exilling in the
whole row, comprifing at leaft 40 houfes. The
whole of them being very ancient, were, of courfe,
in a ruinous Rate, and great apprehenfions were
entertained for the fafety of the workfhops and
manufaEtories in the vicinity, they being built of
wood. - The fire had completely deflroyed the
premifes where it began before the engines ar-
rived; and the adjoining houfe on the right (a
fmith's (hop) was in flames before water was pro-
cured. Happily, however, a plentiful fupply be-
ing at hand, the different engines belonging to the
Sun, Pheeliz, RD.:al Exchange, and the Rritith
Fire Offices wets brought into play ; and not.
withflanding a ltrong current of air from S. E. a
range of wooden bu:lsiings (immediately '
the place where the tire broke out, and nc
than a dozen yards ditlant), were preferv,
conflagration. The frnithy was burnt
round, as well as the china flop, and
joining bottles were coufidcrably damage
cattle of the fire is laid to be owing to chi
a candle falling among the Rrave in mil
cellars where the china was depofites
owner of the (hop had been in the cell
an hour before with a candle, and had fo
(hut up his flop, and taken his family wi
