The magnificent building now erecting for th reception of the brilliant company, who are to be afl'erabld on this rery extraordinary occaiijn, is already nearly com pletcd. It is not unlike the Circus of Old Rome, and, to pleafe the prefent tafte, a little lefemhlei th modern Ra nelach. The building is earned on under the immediate directions of Mr.

Gar rick himfelf, and under his direction alfo the JftdacuU are to be entirely conducted. He for that piupofc came down here, and made fome flay with us. and fettled the whole of the plan, and at his return left his brother George and Mr. Larimore, to fuperintend and complete the preparations; and they hare indeed fren due diligence to the great work, or they hare fcarce been abfent from the workmen an hour in a day. The Gentlemen ofc the county feera alfo to hare intereed therafclres in the bulioefs, and to hare ail taken a (hare ia the great undertaking For, in order to accelerate, nd render the refort of the company to this extraordinary Jubilee eafy and commodious to all the Gentry from YVol verhampton, Shrewlbury.

Chelter, and Ireland (from wheuce great numbers of perfons of the firft diftindioa are expected, many houfes being already taken for them) the Commiiuoncrt of the new turnpikes from Dudley to Stratford, hare employed a great number of extraordinary hands to complete that rery ufeful and beneficial road, by, which a rery near cut it made diredly acrofs the country which (ares many miles at that point, and (hortens conii derably the great road from London tq Wolrerhampton, Salop, and Chelter, at the fame time that it aroids the heary lands and. hills, well at the ftonet and obQrucli ont of the great trading townl. Tin's neceilary and beneficial work, fo ufeful to the whole country, and the advantages of which extend to the metropolis itfelf, would not probably have been completed till the next fpring, had not the eagernefs of the country Gentlemen in the com rnifEon, to contribute ia fome degree to the honour, and to perpetuate the memory of the immortal Shakefpeate, induced them to fet on an extraordinary number of hands to get it ready for this great occalion, fo as to render the meant of refort to the Stratford Jubilee more eafy and commodious: For that purpofe the Gentlemen, at the iereral divifiona of the road, hare taken their different (bares of Ciperin tending and CorotJIeting it. The ancient road, called the Poitway, which lies in the centre of this new road, and has all the remains of Roman greatnefi, had been for many centuries neglected, and was become exceedingly ruinous and dangerous, but is now fo com pleatly reftored, at to be again one of the fineil roadi, ia this kingdom. The two extreme parts of the road, leading fiom the Portway to Stratford on one fide, and to Dudley on the other fide, are alfo taken under the are and infpeclioa of the Nobility and Gentry bo ad in the truft, and refide oo each fide of the Portway all of whom hare, on this occtfioo, exerted therafclres to hare their fererai diltrids of the road completed, and to be in readings for that great folemnity on which occalion alfo.

tbt road it intended to be honoured with the oaroe of the Shaktfptare Rwi. Thus our great countryman, whofe birth and rcGdcnce beamed a gloi yon this his natire country, and rendered the town of Stratford famous th touch ages, has been the occalion of doing again the mod fubv Itantial fci rices to his native town, and the whole adjacent country, at the diltance of abore a century after his de ctafc, and will probably be the meant of adding future glories and advantages to them for ages to come. The remarkable lines iolcribed oo his grave Hone, fit It written by himfelf, ought therefore nercr to be forgotten by any inhabitant of this place and the enfuing Jubilee will probably imprint them oo the minds of ttioufands, who perhaps might otherwife nercr have attended to them. The lines are thefc Good fricnJ, for Jefu's fake, forbear To di'j the dull inclofed here be the man that fparct ihefc ftones, And cuit'd be be that marcs ray boocs." Jugujl si.
