Young, having been repeatedly folicited upon the occafion, is induced, from motives of philanthropy, to take this opportunity of informing thofe gentlemen of the University, who, having been already convinced of the great advantage of a proficiency in the fcience of Cookery, may be defirous of making themfelves mafters of that science, that (without the permiffion of the Vice Can.) fhe intends in a short time, by the Grace of God, to give a courfe of lectures in Mrs. Glafs's Cookery; and has taken a commodious room for the purpofe near Caius Coll. As the understands that the gentlemen of Trinity Coll. in particular labour at prefent under the greatest inconveniencies from the late restrictions, fhe flatters herfelf her lectures will be peculiarly acceptable to the greater part of that truly refpectable fociety: And as he is told that the gentlemen of Caius Coll. are great advocates for pre-eminence in the higher branches of Cookery, the humbly hopes for encou ragement from that fociety alone, Mifs D. Young, having had the honour of practifing her profeffion in one of the first families in Norfolk, in the vicinity of Norwich, doubts not that her lectures will meet with the approbation she is confident they deserve.

The intention of them is to perfect gentlemen, who be defirous of attempting that very useful branch" of natural philofophy, in it, from its very elements

TOM SLEDGE, the Blackfmith, by his frequent whéts,

And spending much, contracted many debts.
In this diftrefs he, like fome other fools,

Pull'd down his forge, and fold off all his tools;
Nothing was left that would fetch any price,

But after all was fold, he kept his VICE.

SONNET,

ON ECHO AND SILENCE.

BY GEORGE BRYDGES, ESQ.

IN eddying course, when leaves began to fly,
And Autumn in her lap the treasure Alrew,

As mid wild fcenes I chanc'd the mufe to woo,
Thro' glens untrod, and woods that frown'd on high,
Two fleeping nymphs, with wonder mute, I spy:
And lo fhe's gone-in robe of dark green hue,
'Twas Echo from her fifter Silence flew ;
For quick the hunter's horn refounded to the sky,
In fhade affrighted, Silence melts away;

Not fo, her fifter. Hark! For onward ftill,
With far-heard step she takes her hafty way,
Bounding from rock to rock, and hill to hill.

Ah! may the merry maid, in mockful play, With thousand mimic tones the laughing forest £ill!

ANDREWS, 'tis faid, a Comedy has writ,
Replete throughout with Novelty and Wit.
If it has Wit,-to both will I agree;
For Wit, from ANDREWS, must be Novelty.

PITT has improv'd the plan of late,
And wifer-kept a Fool to fib.

FIB on, O PRETTYMAN!-for pay:-
-And thou, O PITT, fib too!
More against Trub you cannot fay,
Than Truth has faid 'gainft you.

AN ELEGANT PARAPHRASE OF A GREEK ODE OF ALCEUS, BY SIR WILLIAM JONES, THE ORIEN. TALIST, (a) HAS BEEN MUCH ADMIRED. IT HAS GREAT BEAUTIES; BUT IT IS TOO FLOWERY AND REDUNDANT, TO RESEMBLE THE SPIRITED BREVITY AND SIMPLICITY OF THE ORIGINAL. THE FOLLOWING (WRITTEN BY A FELLOW-COLLEGIAN AT OXFORD, JUST THEN, IN 1740, ENTERED AT ST. JOHN'S, WHO IS NOW, IF HE BE STILL LIVING, THE REV. DR. JN DC-N) WAS THOUGHT, AT THE TIME, EXPRESSIVE OF THE GENUINE PRINCIPLES OF A CONSITENT WHIG, AND WELL ADAPTED TO THE OCCASION, WHICH WAS THE FAMOUS DEBATE, ABOUT THE STANDING ARMY, AND THE PLACE AND PENSION
