By Permission.
On Monday next, the 24th instant (if the weather permits) at
the State-House, will be performed a concert of vocal and
instrumental music. The vocal parts to be conducted by Mr.
Smith, who will sing some favourite songs and airs, selected
from the last and most approved ones sung in the public
gardens of Vauxhall and Ranelagh; in which he will
introduced the following, viz.
Rule Britannia:
As Late I wander'd o'er the plains:
Sweet Willy. O!
Young Jockey:
Infancy:
The Cruel tyrant:
The Echoing horn:
Adieu thou lovely youth:
Come, come my dear girl:
God save the King, &c.
The state-house will be grandly illuminated, and the
performance conclude with a superb and elegant fire work,
under the direction of Mr. Dumont, who has had the honour to
perform in London, and divers places of this continent, with
great approbation. It will be divided into three parts, and
consist of the following variations, viz. . . [19 lines with
details of the fireworks]
To prevent confusion, it is humbly hoped no one will take
it amiss their not being admitted without a ticket, which
may be had, for the concert and fire works, at seven
shillings and six-pence, and for the fire works only, two
shillings and six-pence each, at the bar of the London
Coffee House.
The doors will be opened at 6 o'clock, and the greatest
care taken to render the entertainments of the night
agreeable to those ladies and gentlemen, who may please to
honour him with their presence.
Vivant Rex and Regina.
