In thefe days of fellivity and joy the ancient and venerable cattle rf Fcrd has not been the leall in merry banquetting and glee: the noble owners, Lord and Lady Datav gave to their mmerous and re (pet:table tenants a mo:t fplendid entkrtainment which Lifted feveral days. Lord and La ly D. honoured the room with their prefenee, and drank to the health of all. The noble boas were in return drank with cnthu fialm.

By a late accurate admeafuremcnt, it appears that the largeß Pyramid in Egypt Rands upon eleven acres of ground, and is 400 feet high. - On Saturday lalt, a gentleman of Whitehaven (hot sti mot beautiful Kusg Fifter ; its plumage little infc icor to that of the Peacock. A man of the name of Thomas Csfr, was lately fentenced to the Hbufe of Corrcftion, in New York, for (leafing a pound of Tea. 'Mat part of Clowes wood, in the pun of Blean, in Kent, which caught file on Monday morning, ac cidentally, was cccalioned by the wind having blown abroad fume live embers of wood, which h.td been lighted for the purpofe of making wefts or bands.— the fire began on the fide of the wood near the road to Swaledale, and mended in the dire6ion of the wind, nearly through to Blean Common, where it luckily (pent ittell by the oppofition it received from the !landing wood—after having, however, confum eel about thirty acres of furze and heath. The pro grefs of the flames was confiderably checked and pre vented from fptcading in lateral direaions, by the patches of fnow which it encountered at different places. It is fortunate that the wind was not in a contrary quarter, and from the vicinity of the fire to Thornden wood, an extent of (even hundred acres, it is to be feared much more damage would have enfued. A SMALL billlTAlM—One evening Taft week, an extraordinary circumftance occurred in the nei4h bourhood of Portman-fquare. As a certain convivial Baronet, of equeltrian celebrity, and his Lady, were dying the honours of hofpitality, mirth was the order of the night, and the Baronet vied with a fele& com• pany of intimate friends in gaiety and good humour. Suddenly, however, the harmony of the company was interrupted by the entrance of a fervant, raying, " An ill-lookirg fellow sithed to fpeak with one of the com pany." The Baronet inftand) , quitted the dining par . rt.r, and on entering thz hall, vas and vio• alltuhed by two men, one of whom perf tied o dragging him from his houfe, and informed him that he was their prifoner. In v..in did the worthy Bironet decl are that they mutt miilakt, as he Uid not owe a guinea to any man. They contit.aed to drag him throogh the ftreets, until met by a Gentlema,l who recognifed the ill treated Baronet, and inftantly exprcfred his furprize at the fituaLion in which he f.und him. The repeated aifurances of the Gentle -lan at Taft intimidated the fsllowa, and they ran off with all pollible fpeed. The Baronet immediately re tuirned home to his anxious and expeiaing company. The miftake, we underfland, originated in his being taken for one of his guefts. When the Baronet dif ce‘vered the mittake, he expreffed the higheft fatisfac tion that any thing difagrecable Lo his friends thould 'save been prevented by the miaake, though he hal teen molt ferioufly ill ufed. We hear, that it is the worthy Baronet's determination to make an example i the offenders, in order, for the (inure s to revolt A prelims. MALI LANE. coats IZCIiAMOS. JAW. 4.

WATERFORD, DEC. 29. We have heard that five regiments of infantry, and Pne of cavalry, now in this country, have re ceived orders to hold thensfelves in readinefs to ern bark lir foreign fervice. The firs divifion of the 56th Regiment, a very fine body of men, marched into Cork WI Sunday morning, on their roue from Loughrea to Kinfale, where they are to embark for Portimouth, and from thence for the Etil Indies. They were to be replaced at Loughrea by the 32d Regiment, the fil II divifion of which had arrived there. Clic 2 t ft, or Royal Scots Futilecrs, are alfo quartered in that town. We underhand Admiral Lord GARDVER has ap plied to have his fquadron augmented to ten fail of the line, a no•uber which would be barely Competent to perform the fervice prnpnfed. The 'hips already nominated to his Lot dilly's flag are the Hiss ItNIA, Passocass ROYAL, GOLIAH, TimmLaza, and Pain e/all or Oi&aot. .7.ll\mißr I. The Drefs Ball at the Upper Rooms tall night was very elegantly attended. The whole of the moll dif tinguifhed of the Nobility who fojourn here, honour ed the rooms with their prefence, and appeared greatly to enjoy the air:dements of the night. It is ufual at molt places, for the departure of the old year and the opening of the new one to be wel comed by the ringing of bells; but this cutlom was not attended to here lag night ; the chiming dirge of the Abbey Church, however, at one o'clock pre cifely, and which was repeated at five, for the firft and fecond time, made the refidents of that quarter me lancholy in Arno Domini 1805. JAN. 2.—Perhaps a greater deg•ee of inconveni ence from the fudden alteration of the weather, W.ll never endured by the inhabitants of this place than that which from this caufe they were fubjed to lag night. The weather, though not bright, had been tolerably favourable until about an hour before twilight, when a fprinkling of rain generally fpread its humid influ• ence in the town and neighbourhood. At fun fa, General FROST unexpelledly appeared, and fans cortmonie took command of the diflriCt. In half an hrur the rain which had fallen was completely frozen, and the 'carious flreets exhibited one entire and (hieing coat of ice. The confufion which now prevailed in the flreeti I have not the ability to defcribe; men and women in many parts were feen in the ntmott diflrefs, feveral lying on the curbilones, totally unable to raife them ' ILlvcs, as at every attempt they made for that purpofe their feet flipped and increafed their danger• and dif ficultics. The Theatre, notwithflanding the extreme diffi culty of getting to the honk, was very nirmer.ully attended. R4na, The Child of n ature, and The Wa terman, were the performances of the evening. In the former and latter Irict.sport as Belvi le And Tom Tug, fling with his uftsal excellence. In the c.)urfe of the evening he alto fung i he Storm in his belt ayle, and was loudly and defervedly applauded. ROYAL ACADANY.-At a General Allen*ly of the Academicians, held December 24. th, 1 804. H. Fusssi, Efq. R. A. was elcaed Keeper of the Royal Academy; and at the General Alfembly, held on Wednefday, the Prefident produced his Majefly's ap probation of that election, and alto of the Prefident and Annual Officers for the prefent year. The hair s ornamented with white pearls, pearl necklace and ear-rings, white fatin robe, trimmed with white jair, and all the reams covered with a narrow edging of filk prie, white gloves, flockitigs s and flipperss are the winter cOsane of a Parifian de gante. On Tbutfday fe'nnight the Ibew of tattle fdr ob taining the Prizes given by the Agricultural Society was held on the Palace Green, Durham, where fe veral famous oxen, rams, and pigs, were exhibited. The rite fur the fatted ox was adjudged to J. 1). Ns SHAM, Efq. of Hougton ; and that for the fattell pig, to W. BICKWITH, Efq. at Herrington. A very large company of the principal gentlemen, graziers, and farmers, attended on the occafion. Yefterday Captain Thompfiai, in the Newcafile trade, in a fit of delirium, jumped nut of a one pair of Hairs window, at his refidence in Old Gravel lane, and was killed on the fpot. An ancient Rory tells us, that " when Pandora opened her box of Plagues, Hope was found at the bottom." What a much better Rory can Madame Fortune tell at the prefent era ! when the opens her two boxes, called Lottery Wheels ?—they contain not only Hope, but a hoft of concomitant tranfport ing ideas; and infteasi of plagues flying nut, real fob ftantial bleffings of many ThoufAnds of fler ling daily ilfue from them, to bardfh the plagues of an empty purfe, and a myriad of other plagues " which AA is heir to." A full Wilily ation of theft truths will commence on fo near a period as next Monday three weeks. They who Tweet to potters a chance of participating of there blefEngs, when Fortune fo kindly invites, deferve to be plagued without hope,, with her frowns during life. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
