Last night at Drury Lane Mrs Kemnze bade farewell to the stage. The programme began with the Roman Act, a choice praised by friends, followed by Dryden’s work to mixed reception.

The Milanese and Austrian affairs were noted as rich, with Keysler’s travel account cited. A Water-bailiff assistant drowned after falling overboard near a town last Friday.
