London, January 6. On Saturday night, during the play, when
Richard stabs King Henry, and repeats these lines,
"If any sparks of life be yet remaining,
"Down, down to hell, and say I sent thee thither."
A fellow in the upper gallery stood up, and with great
vehemence cried out, Oh! you villain, you'll go to Hell for
the bloody work you are now about.
. . . [4 lines] In the Bristol Journal we find advertised,
the celebrated Glassychord, invented by Mr. Franklin, of
Philadelphia; who has greatly improved the musical glasses,
and formed them into a compleet instrument to accompany the
voice; capable of a thorough bass, and never out of tune.---
Miss Davies, from London, was to preform on the month of
January, several favourite airs, English, Scotch, and
Italian, on the Glassychord (being the only one of the kind
that has yet been procured) accompanied occasionally with
the voice and German flute.---Vivat Rex and Regina.
