ON WEDNESDAY ite historical play of Co'.um t bus, or 1 World Difcoveted, was performed for the - second time, to 1 most crowded audience. ; The managers are entitled to. great praise for bring : ing forward this play in such a grand (tile as hey have 1 done. The (c«nery, &c. does high honor to the res • peitive artists who executed them : no expence, or ex , ertion, seems to have been wanting to make the proces sions pageants, &c. worthy of observation ; and we ; dott'fmot t»U 1 the Irouole of the manager* will tie am ) ply repaid by having a crowded house every night it is performed. Mr. Cooper's Columbus was a very chaste piece of ailing: he has been censured for over ailing ; but we • observe that his performance is improv«d in this particular, and we doubt not, but in a Ihort rime, . he will be considered as an actor of tbe firft reputation, at leaf! his performances fairly promise it. Mr. Moreton played the feeling, gallant Alonzo with Ereat sensibility The admirers of this gentleman (anil ] w« confefs ourselves to be of that number) have obser ved with pleasure the rapid improvements that he has - made within these two years, and we are of opinion . that his performance this I'eafon, furpafTes all hn for t mer exhibitions : the exquisite adting of mrs. Merry probahly has called f i rth some of that dormant genius j that before had dept. We notice that he is p | ay . to mrs. Merry's Belvideta, and we doubt not ' but Ins performance will be excellent. It was general ly acknowledged, that he failed in that character two • years ago ; but thoTe who crnfured hi. performance t ought to have been informed, that his failure was not ; owing to his want of genius, hut want <>f fludv, «" . the tragedy never was rehearsed : this was%fufTicient t apology foj^him. ■ n M ,'' loX ,' B entit,ed to P rlire fer hia performance of ' Koldan. e are happy to .-bfcrve that he diar a vintager (hould eat fonric at lea(t us those grapes, which he had planted and watered. But, judging from the pra&ice of the world, at ihe piefei't tinw, ouc w>>u!d think my text was grown oLfolete and that its principle was unrecog nized. In the (hamhlet there is always meat e nouj;h, hut how little is bestowed U| on workmen ? P;ir»lites, buffoons, fiddlers, equeftriant, French philofophert and fpeculatort gormandize ; but • I fee Merit, that excellent workman that needeth not to as lank and as lean, as my old tabby cat, who hat bad nothing t» eat but chuteh mice for a year. 1 hough 1 am not fainted a brother, bv any legi timate paifoM, and belong to no miniilerial affbeia tion on earth, yet 1 cherish great tefpect, and feel a cordial regard for the established cler«y. I consi der tliem, with few exceptions, as faithful work men ; they make us monl, they inllruft our yo»th, they lead sober and peacesble lives, " Along the cool,.fequeftcred vale of life, ( ' c "1 hey keep the noiseless tenor of their way." They are wife, ihey are amiable men. I wish 1 could speak half so fervently in praise of a.iother learned profeffion. But, though they are ignorant of foolifh questions and " drivings about the la en a regicidepeace, which are now advertifcd. A« soon as the advertisement appeared of our modern Don Quixote's new pamphlet, an »xp>e(s wat sent off to Dr. Willis. The answer was, that he does not undertake any cafe which belds out r:» prufpeft of a cure ! We are informed that the mod aoble the duke of Northunnbcrland) in 41l the new icfcfet he now grants to his tenants on large farms, makes a refnve of the cottages, which he now lets lo the induf tiieus labouiert, and to each of them adds fufficient ground for the support of a cow, aid the growth of a neceflary quantity of potatoes for the fuppo't of their families ; thereby rendering the labourer iu dependent of the opulent farmer, and affbrdirtg them an opportunity of bringing the fruits of hit labour to a fair market. It has been too much the custom of this country to include the cottages io the general lease of the farm, and thereby keep the induftrions labourer pcrfeAly independent on the farmer. We canaot help recommending to tke confederation, and consequent imitation, of all great landholders, the llluftriout example of that truly patriotic nobleman, of whose very liberal and philanthropic principles we are frequently fupplicd with new and abundant proofs. The hydrophobia si me lime Itnce appeared a mongst the hounds of Colonel Rolleftou neat Rof crea ; one of them bit ad aft, which almost imioe diate became mad, and after bitiagr a very fine' mare, daflied itfelf againtt a wall, ljywhich.it wat destroyed. The infeAion communicated to the mare, was not less rapid in its progress ; the ani mal became univerfaliy convulsed, bit at every thing, . and after running furioufly about, sprung into & river covered with sedge, wkrre several persons, ig norant of the cause, ran to affill her, but fmm whence (he got out without biting any of the pe«. 1 pie, and with * madness scarce conceivable, plung ed iatu a pit, where die was dashed to pieces. Soon as the infection became visible among!! the hounds, Colonel Rulleflon had them tied up Separately, where those diseased refufed food, and at Silt ap -1 peared wholly occupied in catching flies. In a tew ■ days the disorder eairied off 21 of the dogs, when it was intimated that ribwottb, or rib grass, would prevent and eure the disease. Actable fpoorful of the juice wag immediately adminiflered to each do-r and repeated mornings and evenings, befideg a good dtal chopped in their food j and though feme of tli m appeared to be inferred, five weeks had elapsed without the loft of a single dog, all of whom appear to be perfe&ly re-ellablifhed.
