TO TIM COMMANDER IN SIR—At this time, when honks not only are dear but exceedingly difficult to be procured, the dealers in Yorkfhire are purchafing black two•year old colts at the enormous fum of twenty five guineas a piece. It behoves you as Commander to be very attentive to the Britith Cavalry, who never were nor ever can pnflibly be again fo well mounted as they are at Pre fent. From the great rapidity with which all the regiments perform their manoeuvres, if permitted to continue, they molt very foon deftroy the hones. The great weight they carry, the hardnefs of the ground, the (peed they go at, mull very foon (train their finewa and render them lame. Agatet an enemy, that velocity may be ufeful, but every field day lhould not esh:bit the praftice—a praeice • to which none can put a Itop but your Rolal Highnefs. AS cot. 3 cavaLat on ma. Yorkelise, &lobe 6, xBO5. As the enemy will not be (paring of their vain baortings, iu confequence of their capturt of his Ma jelly's flap CALCUTTA, it may not be improper to ttate the quality and condition of this velrel, Which has reqnired lb conliderable a French force, with fo , much difficulty, to fubdue. She was originally an tall Indiaman, and purchafed into the Navy in 1795; is only of the fourth-rate clafs, and carries (carronades ' included) nn more than 54 guns I and yet her gallant Commander completely beat two French frigates in her, and afterwards engaged two French Ibips of the line fn long, and fuccefsiully, as to fecure the fafety of eve: y one of her own convoy from the Rochefort Squadron, before (he Ilruck ! The Csicusta had taken a valuable prize on her palfage home, which we have the fatisfadion to an nounce is arrived at Spithead. Wedn' efday fe'nnight a beautiful frigate built vef fel, ahnut 350 tons, regiller meafurement, and pierced for thirty guns, was launched at Whitehaven from the yard of Mars. Srirr and Co. She is called the David Shaw, and intended for the Welt India trade. She left the flocks exaaly at three o'clock, and the day being remarkably fine, afforded a very pleafing fight to a great number of people. On this oceafion an eleant turtle dinner was given on Friday at the Black 'Lion, of which nearly fifty g entlemen , partook. and paired the day in the great& conviviality and harmony. The feftivity, attendant on the launching of this veffel, terminated with a (upper and dance, the fame night, at Mrs. Buckham's ; the company at the former (including the fhipwrights, &c.) amount ed to upwards of fixty. The Whitehaven Volunteers were infpetted by Colonel HARRIS, on Saturday. After the mfpeiliern (five o'clock) there was a military dinner at Mr. S Ton's. The company amounted to upwards of 50. The Artillery were infpefted at one o'clock, upon the New Qay. The falute of (even guns was fired on the approach of Colonel Haws (the infpedling officer). with admirable precifinn. The fucceeding exercift of the corps manifefted the fame itcadinets and accuracy ; and the who): of their condua re fleaed the highelt credit on their continued exertions and attention. The infpeaion of the Infantry commenced at three o'clock, in the Meadows, near the Cattle. The corps went through a variety of manouvres to the entire approbation of the Infpeaing Officers. The weather, delightfully fine (as much fo as it has been known at this feafon) contributed not a little to the military parade ; whild it drew forth a crowd of fpeaators, who appeared highly gratified with the fcene, which certainly was both pleafing and intereding. At an early hour yeilerday morning. the Royal Wedminfler Volunteers, Colonel ROllll4 Tsns, made a very refpeaable mutter in the King's Mews, for the purpofe of making an excurfion into the country in their military charaaer. The rain poured almoll inceffantly for the (pace of three or four hours, and the Cclonel put it to the vote, whether the majority of the Corps should be difpoled or not to encounter foch a day of rain as was at that time expelled. Both in the general voteland in the vote by each company, the majority was confiderably in favour of an obedi ence to the Regimental Orders. The corps then fet off in feveral of the new military cars. which were furnithed by NBWMANI, of Windmill greet. Not withflanding there was a general option left to every Member of the corps. a more refpeftable molter was made than could polflbly have been expo fed under fuch circumftances. They were conveyed off to Ifle worth with the utmoft expedition ; there they dif mounted, and a grand fham-fight commenced be tween them and the Ifleworth and Twickenham Vo lunteers. They fkirmillted on toWitton, from thence to Hounflow•heath. from whence they changed pe titions to feveral adjacent parts of the country, and at length returned to the Heath, where the retreating army furrendered. The different corps then took tome refreffiment on the field. Previous to their return to town. Colonel RoasaYsom, in the name of the corps, prefented a very elegant fword and pair of piftols to Lieutenant-Colonel TWINING ) as a token of their refpea and elteem for that gentlemen, during the time of his being an officer in that corps. The corps formed themfelves in the figure of an oblong forrare; the arms were conveyed under the eicort of a file of men and placed on the drum head. The Colonel then prefented them to the Lieut.-Colonel, with an appropriate fpeecb ; and the Lieut.-Colonel. 'TI the moil energetic manner, expreffed his gratitude :or the honour done him, his firm attachment to the i'onour of the Corps, and Iris moll unalterable deter mination to defend the Country and fupport our in valuable Conftitution. Notwithdanding the weather was fo extremely difagreeable at the feting out, du ring the fpace of near five hours of military duty, or fairmilhing withthe nominal enemy, there was nr t any rain, though the ground was rather uncomfortable to the feet ofmen who had to run about with the utmott aftivity in all direainns. The Royal Wed:minder returned to town at about half after eight lad night, having been at that time nearly twelve bourbon duty, and received the thanks of their commanding cfficer, for their good dikipline, alertnefs and perfeverance, during the whole of a very heavy day's military duty. A private in the Guards of the name of Crutch, was on Tuefilay killed %Odd at work, digging a foun dation for the new Artillery Barracks, Brompton, near Chatham, by the earth fuddenly falling down and overwhelming }tin,.

The Oneida Chief, Farrell, from Tonningen for New York, is loft on Hdigoland. Extra& of a letter from an Officer on board the Indus, dated Crookhaven, Odober 1, 1805 : 4. We left St. Helena on the 3d of Auguft, under convoy of his Majelly'a thip Calcutta, from which we parted on the evening of the 26th alt. then engaging a part of the Rochefort fquadron. " On the is th of September, we dikovered feven fail to wind ward in line of battle, edging down towards us; and from their manoeuvres, and mode of communicating, by fignal, were fully of opinion, they mutt be men of war. " On that evening we received orders from Captain Woodriffe to lead the fleet, to dole the convoy round us, and !leer S. E. thew ins a light, while be dropped a Item to obferve the motions of one of the ftrange flips in chase of us. We confequattly Rood on the whole of the night, under eafy fail, keeping the Calcutta in view, and at the fame time the won't failing 'hips, with as much fail as they could carry. " At day-light we few a large fleet afters of us, the van of wh:ch was in cbace, under a pref. of fail ; at half part one Cap tain Woodriffe made the agog' for the fleet to difperfc for fafety. The leading frigate of the enemy's fquadron was then fteering Im mediately for us, and when abreatt of the Calcutta, Captain Wood riffe hauled up and opened his fire upon her, and they kept up a running fire for tome time, lrernately giving each other broadfides. We loon raw her attack was inevitable, as the was coming up with us fait, although we had every fall we could crowd in the Lip; at this period two line of battle Mips ' one a three-decker, wae bearing down on the Calcutta. Every endeavour was made to lame the frigate, if potable, when the came up, and item chafers were got out of the cabin windows. " As the had fired two !hors at us, we thought no time thould be loft in throfring over the Company's packets and fecret papers, which was hansediudy secomplithed: the only chance we had of ereePleit. was by lightning the aliP, and throwing over Come of the cargo. Its good Jedts were quickly perceived. " At nine in the evening, a heavy aring was fees in the N. W. which we Armored was the Calcutta engaged with the line of hat de Dips: it continued without interrupthao till half part ten; then fuddenly cored-..we fuppofed the matt have either finch or funk. " Captain Woodriffe's main object mutt have been the prefer- Teflon of the Indus s his moll gallart interpofidon with three flaps ' of very fu prtior force, was an ad of the molt determined bravery, convinced as he muff have been, that the confequence would be fatal to b imfelf. To the intrepidity of Captain Woodriffe, and the exertions of the °Sem and men, mutt be attributed the (dm of the Indus. It is to the credit of the crew of the Indus, that, during the pending danger and alarm, the great& regularity and order were preferred. No part of the Company's property, which the men were told was uniufured, while there remained a chance of Caving, was thrown overboard; whaft their determina tion to defend the thip, thould every thing elk prove indiatual, was evident in their vended at thdri itart ere BRIGHYON. OCTOBER 9. The Duke of CLAR /MCC *tinted to this place be. tween fix and. (even o'clock, after being .prefent at the pugilillic diverfion, which the day afforded, and, with the Prince of Wale; dined with Mr. Jottesos. at Ruifell Houfe. Many Gentlemen of rank, who had invitations to dine at Ruffell Houfe, having been abfent from the town on the fame occafion as the Royal Duke, were fo late before they returned, that the table-cloth at Ruffen Houfe was nut finally removed until ten o'clock in the evening. Af►er Which Mr. Dizzy, on the harp. and VIOTTI on the violin, entertained the affemblage by a very charm ing performance of many fine produaions of frame of the moll celebrated compofers, and were warmly applauded by the Princes, and all prefent. The boxers in Bail Dean Bottom were routed from that quarter by a Magifirate, fupported by a body of horfemen. The Magilirate, we have fince learnt, wa► Mr. Haiteas, at the head of his Corps of Yeo manry Cavalry. The three fine boys of the Duke of Ct.aeascE were receiving military intiruftions of a Serjeant of the South Gloucefier Militia on the Pavilion Lawn this morning. The Prince and the Duke of CLaattecx were pe deßrians on the Steyne for a ihott time to-day before dinner. The CYGIIIT is at anchor within gun•fhn► of the town. The pleafure.boats, confequently, have been in motion to diy, for their favourite point of delli nation. - The fracas between Mr. Lirrit and tome of our worthy Magibates, has occupied no inconfiderable portion of the talk of our fathionable idlers here. This Gentleman had obtained pertniffion to erect a fort of penn or inclofure in the market place of Sandwich, for the recrption.of his iheep. Two members of the Quorum, remarkable for their zeal for the privileges of the town, afterwards convened. feat for workmen (in the law phrafe) to abate the fruilaace, and the build.

Since the years 1775. 1785, 1788, and 179 R, there has not been fueh a deficiency of water as at prefent. The ponds are moitly dry; and cattle are, in places, driven to;7e, to water. The inhabitants of South Shields are nearly without, and are palling night and day acrofs the 'Tyne with tubs, pails, &c to North Shield., for a little frefh water. EI,OPZISIINT.—Annther elopement took place on Friday lag. from a Villa near Croydon, which has given ferious alarm to the relatives of the female.) who are refpeelable charalers in life, of good for tune. The feducer was a vifitant in the family, of 30 years of age. The deluded female is a child in flocks,' of 14 years of age, and, even of chore tender years,l remarkable childith appearance. AU the trace that has yet been made of their tranfit is, that on Sunday morning lag perfons anfwering their defcription took a hackney roach from the Stones End, in the 80. rough. and putting in their baggage, a few light boxes and bundles, drove to Gracechnrch•fireet, where they alighted and put their baggage in the bar, as if waiting to go by a Rage coach. They form (hilted from thence in another hackney coach, drove off, and have not fince been heard of. Covsuv Gaanaw.—Lag night Mr. H. Lewis, the fon of the popular anor of that name, made his firft appearance in London, in the charaner of Frederic, in the Comedy of thc Poor Gertilemos; and afterwards in Spire Groom, in Love.a-la-Mode. This new Candi. date for metropolitan fame, we underhand, has per formed for Come time with much eclat in the coun try, particularly at Liverpool, and he appears to por ters Rage reqnifites of no common order ; he was, however. fo completely a far/intik of his father, in every thing he attempted last night, that perhaps he failed to make that full impreffion of which his ta lents may be capable when dilplayed in charaners not fo eaclufively in poffeffion of that Gentleman.— His figure is well formed, and his face lirongly marked. The tone of his voice is not exanly that of the fenior Lewis, but he manages it after (he fame manner, and his anion is as it were automatically like that of the original He was much applauded, both in the play and farce.

Brough-hill fair on Monday fe'nnight, was, as anal, very well attended, and the hew of cattle the greateft feen of late years. Good holies fetched capital prices, but the middling fort had only a dull Pale. On the firtt day, a man was deteled in the ad of picking another's pocket, and immediately taken to Appleby jail, to take his trial at the nett Affizes. The whole of the Lunatics being removed from Bethlem Hofpital to St. Luke's and Hogfdun, the MI day's tale of the Tall pile of buildings, commenced on Wednefday, the ground being purchafed by the City of London, for the purpofe of building a magni ficent fabric, to be divided into Lefture Theatres, to be appropriated for Hißory, Chensifiry, Navigation, Mathematics, Philofophy, Genealogy, Chronolggy, and Trade, to which will be added a Liberary fuited t o t he above, that will furpars any of its kind in Eu rope, and it is Paid that upwards of 250,0n01. is al ready fitbfcribed towards this great commercial and wonderfulundertaking. A few days ago Mr. Locker, of Tillington, near Stafford, was attacked by a bull which be kept in a field, and not being able to efcape, was knocked down, and bruifed in a terrible manner. In this alarming fituation he had no other alternative than to lie flat on his face. Fortunately the bull's horns were fo curved as nearly to meet, which prevented him from goring, or he mon have log his life.— When the favagc animal had trod and butted upon him for Come time, it retired. We are happy to learn that Mr. Locker is in a fair way of recovery. A few evenings finee, as the gallant Vice.,Admiral Sir T. Ducxwotra, K. B. was walking over the new horfe.road making on the Stonehoufethill, Plymouth, not knowing that the road was broken up, he flipped his foot and fell down the hill (even or eight feet. By the fall he brnifed his tide and hurt his wrill, but providentially received no other damage, and is now quite recovered from the accident. On Thurfday fe'nnight three fellows were taken np at Whitehaven, dreffed as femme% pretending to be lame, and begging and importuning relief, rr . the great annoyance of the public. After impofing upon numbers of credulous Fterfons, and picking op a great many pence, in the courfe of the day, their frequent potations had fo far got the better of their awning, that they appeared in the Rreef about five o'clock, exceflively drunk, mid had Mt fet op the howl with which they had before fofficiently 'hocked the ears of the people, when they were feized upon, and taken before the Magiffrates ; who, after due examination, committed them to the Houfe of Cor reftion, as vagabonds and impollovs I not one Of them being in the leaff maimed, or apparently (offer ing any bodily weaknefs, except from intoxication.
