The situation of this place necessarily makes it a convenient assembly for who frequent the theatres as well as those who exert their talents to please the public in dramatic performances; and for the same reason it may be looked upon as the centre of gravitation between the court and city the noxious effluvia of St Bride's is here corrected by the genuine Eau de Luce from Pallmall and the predominence of ambergrise at St James's is qualified by the wholesome tar of Thames street. Nor does the conversation receive a less happy effect from this junction the price of stocks and the lie of the day from the Alley are softened by the bon mot of Lady Dollabella, which set every soul at the Duchess Trifle's rout in a titter; or the duel that was fought this morning between Captain Terrible and Lord Puncto, when both of them were mortally wounded in the coat.
