London, May 13. In the characters which appeared at a late
masquerade, a chimney-sweep was exceedingly humourous; one
political stroke of his must not be forgotten; he approached
Mr. Wilkes with "God bless your honour, won't you employ me,
I sweep for soot, Ho! and I signed the remonstrance, your
Honour?" . . .
A figure of Razor; a ditto of Quidnunc; both in the farce of
the Upholsterer. . .
There were characters of players, sailors, fryars, nuns,
Quakers, shepherds, shepherdesses, a beggar, and a St.
Giles's bunter. An old maiden prude was continually crying
out, "that she should lose her reputation in such company."
Several of the nobility appeared in Dominoes.
