On Monday next, all day, will be exhibited as a show, at the
sign of the Brig Dolphin, near the Work-House, for the
benefit entirely of poor debtors now under confinement in
the Prison of New-York:  The effigies of the Royal Family of
England, and Hungary, &c. with all the figures heretofore
mentioned; as also a great variety of prospects; and in the
evening Punch's Company of Comedians will perform the tragi-
comedy of Mandlin the Merchant's Daughter of Bristol.  The
money to be raised by that day's show, will be received by
some person of good reputation, to be appointed for that
purpose, and to be disposed of in relieving all such
prisoners, as shall be found on a strict examination to be
real objects thereof; so that whoever has a mind to gratify
their sight on that day, may be convinc'd they are at the
same time contributing to a truly charitable work:  Price
1s6 each for the Wax-Work and Prospects;  and for the
Puppet-Show will be tickets, at 2s6 each:  Tickets to be had
at Mr. Lepper's, Mr. Ramsey's, and at the Printer's hereof. 
N.B. Every night this week will be exhibited the Tragedy of
Fair Rosamond.
