Heritoyal Highness read the answer very distinctly.

The intended new opening from Piccadilly, on the
west side of Burlington House, into Burlington Gar-
dens, opposite Cork-street, will be covered with an
awning, similar to that of the Albany ; but, instead
of chambers, handsome shops are to be fitted up on
each side for the display of articles of taste and fancy.
The representation that Drury-lane Theatre will
close aftcr Monday next is inaccurate ; the perfor-
mances arc to continue in regular succession after
that day till the end of the season. The Duke and
Duchess of CAMBRIDGE have signified their inter.tior.
of visiting the Theatre on Wednesday next.
Mr. DECAMP has been the successful bidder for the
management of the Theatre at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
He is to give £425 per annum for three years, with
security, and a London Company.
The interment of the late Mr. Coss, of the East
India Honse, took place in the burial-ground at Old
Windsor, on Monday last, with every mark of love
and respect so justly due to the mortal remains of a
man who, while in Fie, was beloved most by those
who knew him best. His afflicted widow returned
on the following day to her house in Russell-square,
which may be truly called at this moment the House
of Mourning.

We are desired to state, that the Second Volume of
Archdeacon Coxfs Memoir: of JOHN Duke of 111 Aile
BOROUGH, with his Original Correspondence, collected
from the Family Records at Blenheim, and other au-
thentic Sources ; illustrated with Portraits, Maps, and
lilitaryPlans will be published by MeSSTS.LONGUAN
and Co. on iuesday, the 30th inst.—The Third and
last Volume will be ready in November.

The town of Cheltenham in 1805 is said to have
paid D201:0 assessed taxes ; in 1818, 1.10,800. The
increase in the number of stage coaches has been
from three to upwards offifty daily.

A WOAD TO TILL Wtsz.—Fortune seems to reserve
the Three Twenty Thousands still in her Wheel, in
order to crown her favourite, ETTON, on the Second
Day, (16th Jane). Happy will those be who timely
secure their lucky Numbers, at No. $, in CORNHILL,
where Evrox's former graad Capital Prize of Twenty
Thousand Pow.uls, came out on a similar BIRTH DAY
LOTTERY. This is certainly a powerful inducement
Ito Purchasers aot to lose so great as opportunity.

Psnasrausitssi. —Esrox continues his unparalleled task with
unabated spirit and alacrity. On T.i. sday next he will have
walked five out of the six weeks required for the undertaking.
Notwithstanding his exertions, and the extreme warmth of the
weather, he appears perfectly fresh and confident of success;
and yesterday, at half-past eleven, after completing the quarter
of a mile in the time allowed (a quarter of au hour), he very
composedly, instead of going.to rest, sit down and wrote a let-
ter : he reposes on a couch at intervals for about 20 minutes, the
nature of the wager not admitting a longer portion of rest. Mr.
Panes, of Elmswell, has commenced a similar undertaking of
going a quarter of a mile every quarter of an hour for a fort-
night: as he begs!, on Tuesday last his labours, if successful,
will terminate at the same time with EATON'S.

SINGULAR BATTLE .—A battle was lately fought in a marsh
adjoining the town of Shrerneas, between two navigators, fur a
gallon of beer, in the fol!..wing manner :--They had their hands
tied behind them, and then butted each other with their heads;
they fought till their heads were literally beaten into such a state
that they were not fit to be .can. One of them is a Wcichman,
the other a Lancashireman.
