"O'er him thine arm extend, "For Britain's fake defend, "Our Father, Prince, and Friend. "God fave the King." This ftanza gave the audience peculiar pleasure, and was encored by the eager defire of the whole house. The Prince of Wales was at dinner at Lord Melborne's, and was almost immediately informed of the event at the Theatre that night, by Mr. Jeffery, M. P. for Coventry, who left the play to acquaint his Royal Highness of his Mas jetty's fafety. The Prince immediately left his company, and went to the Theatre. On Friday the Privy Council fat on the further examination of this man's conduct. Several of the prifoner's fhopmates were examined, the tendency of whofe evidence fhewed that he was infane. He told his wife and others that on Tuefday last he met a man who affured him that he had had Jefus Chrift in keeping five years in Mount Sion, and that he was foon to vifit this world. This man was one Truelock, a cobler, at Illington. He was taken before the Privy Council that day, and is much poffeffed with an opinion of the speedy return of our Saviour.

About three months ago he came down to Croydon to fee the regiment, and while there was taken fo ill, it was neceflary to put him in a straight waistcoat. They wondered he had not fince been taken care of as a madman. The fecond lug which was fired was found on Friday morning by the Duke of Clarence in Lady Milner's box. It appears that Hadfield did not fire very wide of his Majesty; only about a yard too far to the left. The King stood erect after he fired. The Queen came in, and the King waved his hand for her to keep back. Her Majefty afked what's the matter? The King laid, “Only a squib, a fquib; they are firing squibs." After the affaffin had been taken away, the Queen came forward, and in great agitation curthed. She looked at the King, and asked if they should stay? The King answered, We will not ftir, but stay the entertainment out. All the Princeffes, but Elizabeth, fainted as foon as they fat down. Elizabeth exerted herself greatly in recovering them.
