out meaning to detraét from its claims to 
our general commendation. 
€¢ The True Lowers Kunst,’ a favourite Song. 
Sung by Mis Gray, at the Rofalty-Theatre. 
Written by Fobn Gretton, Efg. Set to Mufic by 
TL. Powell. 1s. Goulding, and Co. 
The words of this little ballad are 
written in that pleafant, free, and ealy 
ftyle, which ditinguithes the fportful ei- 
forts of Mr. Gretton’s mufe; and Mr. 
Powell, by the fanciful and natural catt 
of his melody, has done juftice to his 
theme. 
We have to apologize to ouf mufical 
Readers for the accidental omiffion of 
our remarks laft month on Dr. Butby’s 
late grand performance at the Theatre- 
Royal, inthe Hay-market. The bill of

fare confifted of his admired oratorio of 
the Prophecy, Naval Glory, a New 
Thankfgiving Ode, from the pen of Mrs. 
Crefpigny, and a New Coronation An- 
them, written for the occafion by the 
Poet Laureat, the omy one fet to mulic 
in this country fince the time of Handel. 
The new pieces difplaved all that {cience 
and tafte expe€ted from the compofer of 
the Prophecy, Britannia, and Ocean, and 
the whole was received with the higheft 
approbation and applaufe. Among the 
vocal performers, Madame Dufek, Mifs 
Richardfon, and Mr. Chard particularly 
diflinguifhed themfelves. Mr. Ramondi 
led the band with judgment and {pirit, 
and Mr. S. Wefley, ai the organ, fup- 
ported a numerous and well-appointed 
orcheftra, with a power and fkijl which 
at once delighted the audience and gavea 
new ¢clat to the Doctor’s oratorial com- 
pofitions.

_ We had the pleafure of reporting, a few 
weeks fince, that the fever, which had en- 
gaged fo much of the attention of the me- 
dical praétitioner for a confiderable time, 
appeared to be on the decline, and that it 
was hoped it would foon ceafe to make fo 
confpicuous a fisure on our lift. During 
the Jaft two or three weeks, however, it has 
appeared again, and has been attended, in 
a number of inftances, with fymptoms 
equally violent and alarming with thofe 
which have been formerly deferibed. In 
fome cales, after a confiderable abatement 
of fymptoms, and when the patient appear- 
ed to be in a ftate of convalefcence, the 
difeafe has returned with an increafed vio- 
lencé, and a fatal termination has taken 
place. ! 
The very great change in the tempera- 
ture of the air, for feveral days, during 
the prevalence of the north and north-wel- 
terly winds, has been produétive of colds 
and coughs, and of an aggravated {tate of 
fymptoms in fome pneumonic complaints. 
The extreme degree of heat which was 
felt for a few preceding days had produced 
a change of cloathing, which rendered the 
frame more fenfible to the effeéts produced 
by this change of the weather. 
Diforders of the bowels, in fome cafes 
conneéted with fever, and in others inde- 
pendent of it, have been very frequent. 
Thefe may probably be attributed to the 
change in the temperature in the air jult 
mentioned.
