At a Meeting of the creditors of Mr. WILMER
MACRE/ Sirtt.ErrT, late of Picket-street, Temple-
bar, Proprietor, Printer, and Publisher of the Alfred
Newspaper, held at the Globe Tavern on Tuesday
last, a well-known character of the name of LEECiI
had the aodacity to attend as a Creditor of Mr.
WILLETTN, for 301. due to him for wages.—Now
it-
so happens, that this LEECH was confined in New-
gate for debt, a few months since; and, therefore,
could not have any such claim before the Alfred
concern was sold in Picket-street, under an Extent
from the Crown, which was the object of the Meeting,
and has been since then removed to N 0.47, Ludgate-
hill, for the convenience of Mr. WILLETT) where the

The Drury-lane Committee have adopted a design
for the Corporate Seal of the Company, prepared
by the President of the Royal Academy, and highly
approved of by his Royal Highness the Patrice RE-
SENT. The design possesses all the vigour and clas-
sical taste of Mr. WEST'S pencil. The REVERT is
drawn at full length in a Grecian robe, with one arm
resting on the statue of SHALESPEARI. In the other
bed he holds a lyre, stretching it forth to reanimate
the Muses of Tragedy and Comedy, who are repre-
sented in the act of protecting the bust of GAaascK
open the ruins of the Theatre.
By the Population Returns lately made, it ap-
pears that the number of females exceeds that of
Voles in every county, except these of Monmouth
lad Stafford, in which there is a majority of the
Jitter.
