Priman of figure, which may he admittable in tra-

As the reprefentative of the gay and thoughticfs,
but elegant Ranger, Captain C. appears to miftake
extravagance for cafe, grimace for expreffion, aad
pertnefs for vivacity. His anion, throughout,
being more that of a pantomime performer, who
leeks by anion only to convey the fentiment of his
author, than of the true difciple of nature and
feeling, who knows exanly how to fuit the word
to it at the impulfe of the moment. The Ranger
of La night, in no one inflance, was any thing
more than'a Box-lobby buck ; in laying this, how-

ly gave the language of the Author with point.—
The figure of Capt. C. difrobed of" the trappings
and the Nits of woe," is extremely meagre, and
therefore, perhaps, not well calculated to court
the laughter-loving Mufe ; his voice, moreover, is
not mellow, nor does his features eafily mould

The idea of introducing into the intended new
Police Bill for Bath, a Claufe for defraying the
Expence of Paving that City, from a fund to be
formed by laying a general Pound Rate on the
inhabitants, is at length abandoned. There were
advocates for it in the Body Corporate : the Com-
minimum appointed for Paving, Lighting, &c. of
the City, under the exifting Aft, were decidedly
for it (with the exception of Meffrs. Moony,
FilLtlllt, Baaarrr, Puti.Lirs, and two or three
others) ; but when it was propofed to the Venries
of the different Parillies for their approbation, it
univerfally rejeaed.
