Extract of a letter from Windsor, Apr 4. The town was so
full this day, that beds let at a guinea each, the concourse
of people being as numerous as at an installation. A very
odd accident happened at the White Hart; some young people
dancing in a room, shook down two delf jars of a very large
size, which broke to pieces in the fall, and made such a
noise that it alarmed all the people in the house, who
thinking it to be an earthquake, immediately run out, which
alarmed the town, so that it was empty presently, and the
fields called the play-fields, in Eaton, were crowded all
night.
