might be profecuted for having practifed fubtle craft, to the annoyance of his uncle, over and above an action for affault and battery; because, for why? The faid Crow having run away, as might be eafily proved, before any blows were given, the faid Dawdle by purfuing him even out of the high road, putting him in fear, and committing battery on his body, became, to all intents and purposes, the aggreffor; and an indictment would lie in Banco Regis. The Captain's pride was fo hocked at thefe obfervations, that he exclaimed with equal rage and impatience, "You lie, you dog, in Bilkum Regis—you lie, I fay, you lubber, I did not run away; nor was I in fear, d'ye fee. It was my fon of a bitch of a horfe that would not obey the helm, d'ye fee, whereby I coudn't use my metal, d'ye fee As for the matter of fear, you and fear my kiss my-So don't go and heave your stink-pots at my character, d'ye see, or agad I'll trim thee fore and aft with a-I wool." Tom protested he meant nothing but a little fpeculation, and Crowe was appeased. In the evening they reached the town of Bugden, without any farther adventure, and paffed the night in great tranquility. Next morning, even after the horfes were ordered to be faddled, Mr. Clarke, without ceremony, entered the apartment of Sir Launcelot, leading in a female, who proved to be the identical Mrs. Dolly Cowflip. This young woman advancing to the knight, cried, "O, Sir Launcelot! my dear leady, my dear leady" but was hindered from proceeding by a flood of tears, which the tender-hearted lawyer mingled with a plentiful fhower of fympathy. Our adventurer starting at this exclamation, "O heavens! (cried he) where is my Aurelia? fpeak, where did you leave that jewel of my foul? answer me in a moment-I am all terror and impatience!" Dolly having recollected herself, told him that Mr. Darnel had lodged his niece in the new buildings by May-fair; that on the fecond night after their arrival, a very warm expoftulation had paffed between Aurelia and her uncle, who next morning difmiffed Dolly, without permitting her to take leave of her mistress, and that fame day moved to another part of the town, as fhe afterwards learned of the landlady, though the could not inform her whither they were gone, That when he was turned away, John Clump, one of the footmen, who pretended to have a kindness for her, had faithfully promised to call upon her and let her know what paffed in the family; but as he did not keep his word, and the was an utter stranger in London, without friends or fettlement, she had refolved to return to her mother, and travelled fo far on foot Lince yefterday morning. Our knight, who had expected the most difmal tidings from her lamentable preamble, was pleafed to find his prefaging fears difappointed; tho' he was far from being fatisfied, with the difmiffion of Dolly, from whofe attachment to his intereft, joined to her influence over Mr. Clump, he had hoped to reap fuch intelligence as would guide him to the haven of his defires. After a minute's reflection, he he faw it would be expedient to carry back Mrs. Cowflip, and lodge her at the place where Mr. Clump had promifed to vifit her with intelligence; for, in all probability, it was not for want of inclination that he had not kept his promife. Dolly did not exprefs any averfion to the fcheme of returning to London, where the hoped once more to rejoin her dear lady, to whom by this time, he was attached by the strongest ties of affection; and her inclination, in this respect, was affifted by the confideration of having the company of the young lawyer, who, it plainly appeared, had made ftrange havock in her heart, tho' it must be owned, for the honour of this blooming damfel, that her thoughts had never once deviated from the paths of innocence and virtue. The more Sir Launcelot surveyed this agreeable maiden, the more he felt himfelf difpofed to take care of her fortune; and from this day he began to ruminate on a fcheme which was afterwards confummated in her favour-In the mean time, he laid injunctions on Mr. Clarke to conduct his addreffes to Mrs. Cowflip, according to the rules of ho nour and decorum, as he valued his countenance and friendship. His next step was to procure a faddle-horfe for Dolly, who preferred this to any other fort of carriage; and thereby gratified the wish of her admirer, who longed to see her on horfeback in her green jofeph. The armour, including the accoutrements of the novice and the fquire, were left in the care of the inn-keeper, and Timothy Crabfhaw was fo metamorphofed by a plain livery frock, that even Gilbert with difficulty recognized his perfon. As for the novice Crowe, his head had almost resumed its natural dimenfions; but then his whole face was fo covered with a livid fuffufion; his nofe appeared fo flat, and his lips fo tumified, that he might very well have paffed for a Caffre or Ethiopian. Every circumstance being now adjusted, they departed from Bugden in a regular cavalcade, dined at Hatfield, and in the evening arrived at the Bull and Gate inn in Holborn, where they established their quarters for the night. [To be continued. ] The following Copy of an original Letter from Queen Elizabeth, to Heaton, Bishop of Ely, is taken from the Regifler of Ely. PROUD PRELATE, Understand you are backward in complying with your agreement; but, I would have you to know, that, I, who made you what you are, can unmake you; and if you do not forthwith fulfill your engagement, by, I will immediately unfrock you. Your's, as you demean yourself, ELIZABETH. Heaton, it seems, had promised the queen to exchange some part of the lands befonging to the fee for an equivalent, and did fo, but it was in confequence of the above letter, Reflections TH Reflections on the Profpect from RICHMOND HILL. HE affemblage of objects, known by the name of landfcape, is fo interefting to the eye and affecting to the imagination, that where nature did not fupply fufficient variety to regale the faculty of fight and the powers of fancy, the most eminent painters have employed their talents in ex ing artificial views and profpects, in which the great and fublime, the gay and agreeable objects of inanimate nature are varioufly combined, fo as to furnish an infinite fund of entertainment, according to the different difpofitions of the human mind. At one moment the imagination loves to con. template the awful scenes of folitary nature, fuch as ftupendous rocks, gloomy forelts, and louring fkies; fometimes, to furvey the terrible, arrayed in ftorms, the foaming billows, the roaring cataracts, the foundering veffel, the tumbling ruin, the oaks up-torn, the blackening cloud, and gleaming lightning. Thofe are fcenes that ftrike the foul with a kind of pleafing horror, and fill it with fublime ideas of greatness and immenfity. Such were the fubjects that employed the pencil of the celebrated Salvator Rofa, in contradiftinction to the more mildly pleafing fcenes which rofe from the labours of a Pouffin, and Claude Lorrain, according to the characters delineated in thefe lines of the poet: Whate'er Lorraine light-touch'd with foft'ning hue; Or favage Rofa dah'd, or learned Let us suppose a man of an erithufiaftic turn of mind, bred in an uncivilized, remote, and barren country, and tinctured with all the extravagance of fuperftition ; let us fuppofe it poffible to convey him afleep from his native cottage to the fummit of Richmond Hill, and there awake him abrupt. ly in a ferene fummer evening; what would be his fenfations, when he gazed around, and furveyed the particulars of the profpect? when he beheld the level plain below arrayed in all the gorgeous pride of cultivation, when he faw the intermingled fcene of trees and fields, and villas, towns, and villages, extending far as the vifible horizon, except where the fight is agreeably bounded by the diftant hill, crowned with the towers of lofty Windfor; when he regaled his eye alternately with the delightful groves of Kew, and Ham, and Peterfham; and viewed the filver Thames winding in sweet meanders through the bofom of the vale, burfting in delightful masses on the ravished fight, difplaying a number of verdant illets, and wafting a fuccellion fucceffion of boats and veffels on his gentle tide; when he confidered the whole profpect amazingly diverfified into light and fhadow, by a partial gleam of the fetting fun when he obferved the walk embellished with the happy daughters of Britain, fhining in all the elegance of drefs, and fmiling in all the bloom of native beauty: when his hearing was on one fide, rejoiced by the rural concert of the feathered choir, and on the other, his attention engaged by the har monious notes of artful minftrelfy; what could he fuppofe, but that he ftill remained under the illufion of a happy dream; or, that all he faw and heard, was a fairy vifion, conjured up by the power of magic to regale his fenfes. An Account of the New Comedy, called ALL IN THE WRONG, now atting at Drury-Lane Theatre, opened for the Summer Seafon, under the Management of Meffieurs Murphy and Foote. The scene opens with Sir. John Restlefs exclaiming to Robert against the perfidy of a wife he is paffionately fond of; and being told fhe is gone towards the horseguards, his head aches, his fore-head burns, and his horns cut:" he is refolved, as she went out the back way through the Park, never to live in a house that has two doors, and intends to give immediate warning to the landlord.---Equally jealous and equally fond of her husband, lady Restlefs obferves Tattle in conference with Marmalade, who had been on a vifit to the former; and imagining Tattle in the intereft of Sir John, the looks upon Mar malade as a creature of his, and breaks into a paffion. Marmalade is commanded about her business, and the lady retires to worm the fecret out of Tattle.---- Beverly and Belmont met in the Park, and are joined by Clariffa and Belinda; Belmont takes Clariffa afide, and Beverly, after making a - needlefs excufe for fome imaginary offence he had given his miftrefs, makes her a prefent of his picture. Sir William Belmont and Sir William Blandford appear, and the lovers are obliged to feparate, the old gentleman having defigned the fon of the one for the daughter of the other. Belinda's father, upon pain of his eternal difpleasure, commands her to think of Belmont as a husband, and leaves her in a situation so affecting, that she is falling inRI 1 to a fvoon under the window of lady Reitlefs, when a gentleman catches her in his arms, recovers, and waits upon her home. This tranfaction is feen by lady Reflefs, and he finds the gentleman who is fo complaifant, to be really the indentical Sir John. She comes into the Park in order to confront him, but is too late; and only finds the picture of Beverly, which Belinda had dropped in her diforder. This picture the is admiring, and blaming the inndelity of her husband, where the is found by Sir John, who fnatches the picture out of her hands: a warm difpute arifes, the upbraids him with his mistress, he recriminates the lover, and both part in a paffion; he to find out the person the picture might refemble, and the to enquire whether any answer had been fent to the letter the had difpatched to lady Conqueft, in relation to Marmalade. In going out, Sir John meets Robert, and tempts him to a difcovery of what he knows concerning the lady's intrigue with the gentleman, from whom she received the picture: during this, lord Conqueft's footman comes with an answer to lady Reftlefs. Sir John bribes the fellow to give him the letter, and on opening it, finds it to be one from lord Conqueft, intimating his lady's being out of town, and vindicating the character of Marmalade. This letter is drawn up in fuch a manner, as to give an additional force to the jealoufy of Sir John, who difpatches Robert to lord Conqueft's, to make an appointment between Marmalade and him, whom he looks upon as a go-between to lord Conqueft and his wife; and for fear of a discovery, infifts on her being marked. In this interval Benont comes in, and the uneasiness of Sir John to compare him to the picture, is happy enough. They are joined by Beverly, and Sir John's follicitude of effecting his design is increafed; and after an aukward excufe, though very natural, he begs Beverly would indulge him in makirg an examination: when the latter accidentally cafting his eye on the fetting, discovers it to be the picture he had given to Belinda, and earnefty begs a view of it, which is peremptorily refufed by Sir John, who immediately goes off, not a little pleafed to have found the owner of a picture, which he thinks will be no immaterial evidence in his obtaining a divorce, he intends to fue out against his wife. turally jealous without a caufe, and ente Na ring into explanations without reason, Beverly appears greatly dejected, when his friend and he join their mistresses, and infifts upon feeing the picture: when miffing it, Belinda rallies him about his uneafinefs; he upbraids her with inconftancy, and both part in an open rupture: he flies to. Sir John's to recover the picture, and fhe to difclofe her concern to Clariffa. Sir John happening not to be at home, he is introduced to lady Reftlefs, by whom his fufpicions are fo greatly increased, that he joins with her in accufing Sir John and his mistress, and takes his leave with a refolution of never seeing Belinda more. Going out, he is met by Sir John, and a warm altercation enfues. Beverly goes home. with an intention of fetting out for the country, and orders his chaife, when Brush brings him a letter from Behinda, which he at laft reads and tears: Clariffa and Belmont come in, and his fitter clears up the matter fo much to his fatisfaction, that he flies to Belinda to beg a reconciliation. Beverly goes to Sir John's for the now unaccountable picture. Sir John, after being with Belinda, and giving her the ftrongest reasons to fufpect her lover's fi-' delity, repairs to his affignation with Marmalade, and finds a person muffled up, whom he imagines to be her, and the prevails upon him to bring her to his own houfe; when making ufe of expreffions that admit of a double fignification, and what he defires as an indulgence to his curiofity, the understands as a gratification to his paffion; unable any longer to conceal her refentment, the throws off the difguife, and openly ubraids him in the form of lady Reftlefs; for Tattle, in order to remove her lady's ill opinion of Marmalade, had been with her after the had been applied to by Robert, and Marmalade difcovered the whole circumstance of Robert's embaffy to her; which Tattle discloses to her lady, and she disguises herself as Marmalade, to give Sir John no poffibility of escaping. Beverly, finding Sir John not at home, is determined to wait till he comes; the moment he hears him coming, he is prevailed upon to be thrust into a clofet, where Tattle locks him up, left his being feen by Sir John fhould occafion more uneafinefs in the family. This clofet, lady Restless wanting to go into, is furprised to find locked, and calling Tattle, infifts upon her opening it; when the appearance of Beverly, though ridiculous |
