April 21.  We hear that the disputes at Bath concerning the
succession to the office of Master of the Ceremonies, are at
length concluded.  Capt. Wade is unanimously elected.  Five
hundred pounds of the surplus of the ball subscriptions for
the present season are to Major Brereton; and Mrs. Brereton
is appointed a benefit ball every season, which Capt Wade
obliges himself to make equal to 200L per annum, if the
receipts of the night should fall short of that sum.  The
ball subscription is settled for the future at three guineas
instead of two.  The guinea extraordinary to be applied to
the use of the master of the ceremonies. . .
