DRURT.LAIIIto•-•A new piece, in two sets, of the
melo-dramatic species, with the title of The Turret
Clock, was produced last night at this Theatre.--
The setae is placed in Portugal, anti the outline of
the plot le this:—The daughter of a Portuguese
Grandee, to avoid an odious suitor, resolves to elope
with a British. Officer, •her lover, but unknown to
bet father ; the signal for which elopement is the
striking of a certain " turret clock." The scheme
being overheard by robbers, they contrive to carry
off the lady for the sake of her plunder, and turn her
'drift in a forest ; for sorely she pots on male wire,
sad arriving at a neighbouring village, is, by a whim-
sical law then in force, made its Chief Magistrate.
Her lover, in pursuit of her, kills a robber on whom
he had discovered part of her jewels, and is broeght•
before his mistress to be tried for the murder • the
denouement may be easily imagined. -The dialogue
has some•sarcistic allusions to politics and fashions ;
bet, on the whole, the piece is a very middling per.
torment,. It met with very doubtful success.
The Porter Brewers of London, have hitherto ab-
stained from noticing the charges made against them
In the various Newspapers, conceiving that a liberal
and candid Public could not expect them to enter the

misrepresentations, however, haring been repeated
at a Public Meeting, held at. the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, on the 25th inst. and embodied In the shape
of Resolutions, iodate them now to come forward
and to express their satisfaction, that by the pro-
posed Petition to the House of Commons, en oppor.

COWS before II competent and unprejudiced Tribunal.
They are firmly convinced that by a strict Investiga.
