Curious Fire Works.  The two Italian brothers having given
such specimens of their abilities (to the general
satisfaction of the spectators) at the Fire Works which they
have once exhibited, they have been particularly desired, by
some of the principal gentlemen of this city, to construct
another which shall be more curious than the former, which
they have not completed, and will certainly be exhibited to-
morrow at six o'clock in the evening, if the weather
permits, at the same place as before (viz. George Honey's,
the upper end of Arch-street. . .  [26 lines, details of
fire works]
   We hope to give greater satisfaction in exhibiting at
this time that the former, as we intend having a sufficient
guard to protect us from the mob.
   Tickets to be had at the London Coffee-House, at Mr.
Burns's, the sign of the Golden Fleece, in Second-street,
and at Theodore Miminger's, in Second-street, above Arch-
street. Gallery 3s. 9d. the yard 2s.  No tickets to be had
at the gate.  The music to begin at 5 o'clock.
