London, September 25. We hear that a new comedy, in which
the prevailing custom of duelling is placed in the highest
point of ridicule, will shortly make its appearance at
Covent Garden Theatre. It is hoped that so well timed a
production will prove no less successful than seasonable, as
it undoubtedly will, if its execution be as laudable as its
design. Ridicule, indeed, is the only salutary remedy
against absurdity, as the cure of absurdity is peculiar to
the province of the comick muse.
"Mirth, more than morals, moves the age;
"Our only crowded school the stage!"
