The story is short and trifling An Americans
Manag-r, Mr. Fasecerr, advertises for a female per.
former- under the name of X. Y. Z. .A .clownisis
young Durham Squire, Mr. LtwroN, advertises. for a
wife under the same signature. The Manager is in-
troduced to a solicitor whose attention had beery ar-
rested by the Squire's advertisement in hopes of
passing his wed upon him, and retaining part of her
fortune. The Squire is introduced to D,ra Mumble,
Mrs. DaveseonTom actress who had applied for an
engagement in consequence of the Manager's adver.
tisement. ;the equivoque which occurs in the dialogue,
owing to these mistakes, is the strength of the piece,
but, though some humour was here displayed, yet
having nothing besides to support it, in spite of the
efforts and skill of the performers, it went off heavily,
and at the conclusion, when the audience stw the in.
significance as a whole, of what they had been laugh-
ing at iii detail, a considerable clamour arose, and
Nfr. Fawr:ltt, in announcing it for another repreaen.
Cation, could not be heard.
An application was yesterday made to the Came
of Chancery, for an injuncti, n to stop the represerita.
tion of the above Farce. The application was matte
by Mr. Moan's, one of the Proprietors oe the Hay.
market Theati e, on the ground of a contract, by
which it was stated, that Mr. CAILM AN. the Author
of the Piece, was bound to give to that Theatre the
advantage of every new dramatic production of his
pen. It was answered, on the part of the Proprietors
of Covent-Garden Theatre, that they had purchases
the Piece, and that they bad an concern with any jai.
yaw agreement said to exist between Mr. Coutate
and the other Proprietors of the Haymarket Theatre,
of which contract they knew nothing. His Lordship,
however, did not grant an injunction to stop the
performance last night, but left the question open for
future consideration.
A pear was lately taken from a tree in the garde*
of Mrs. Milnthorpe, of WarnfieW, near Wakefield,
which weighs 41b 7oz. measures 121 inches in girth,
and is 8 inches long. •
There is an apple-tfee in Mr. Watson's irielets,
at Hawksdale, near Carlisle, of the kind commonly
known by the name of the irortetter Forty Shill ops
which produced, this season, not less than 14 Carlisle
(or 42 Winchester) bushels of fruit.

During the summer, the cross-bills destroy the peat
