Notagen, Ana usr 3t.—,At five o'clock on Friday evening, the Court, having this day con firmed one vote for Mr. Wooznovss, and four for Sir Jacos Arnim, which made his majority tog, adjourned to two o'clock next day, on ac count of the execution of a criminal, appointed for that morning on the Cattle-hill. On Saturday, at two o'clock, the Court being met, Counfellor HARVIY rote, and expreffed his regret at the fcru tiny having been protraaed to fuch a length. Be fore Ncommenced, he thought there was fufficient ground to enter upon it, as had appeared from the number of bad votes ; for out of boo names, Soo had been (truck' off ; notwithftanding which he had, for fome time pall, withed the fcrutiny to be given up ; he then obferved, that he now came prepared to Rate, that he thould' decline objeaing to any more votes, o r to g i ve t h e Court further trouble. He requefted the Sheriff would accept his thanks, and alfo his Affeffor, for their im partial condua ; nor could - he difmifs the fnbjea without thanking the Learned Gentlemen in op. pofidon to him, for their candour and liberality. Mr. ALDERSON role, and contended there was no ground to enter upon the Scrutiny, for out of the soo votes tlruck off, very few indeed werebad, but what pyincipally arofe from negledt or infor mality in the land tax affeffments of the feveral parithes, without any wilful intention of fraud or deceit. The Affefor Paid, be had been applied to, that the fcrutiny might be continued to the laft hour ; but, if all the parties were agreeable, he would order the poll to be again cati up, on which the High Sheriff declared, that Taossas Wu. Coas, Efq. and Sir JACOB ASTL!Y, Bart. having a ma jority on the poll, were duly eleaedßeprefentatives for the County of Norfolk. Mr. Cosa expreffed his gratitude, to the eleaors for their perfeverance and exertions, which had placed him in the moll defirable fituation ; that he felt an inexpreffible joy in congratulating them upon the termination of<the ftruggle, which was both glorious and honourable. He lamented the cruel and unneceffary interruption_ of their peace and convenience, infinitely more than the immenfe expence .created to himfelf ; for, if occafion re quired, he mould deem his life and fortune well fpent in the intereft of conftituents fo truly deferv ing of his Cervices. The return was figne4 in doom and fent off for Landon on Sunday. On Sunday laft the remains of Mrs. Leverrox, wife of Mr. Levrarou, of Bedford-fquare, were conveyed for interment to the family vault at Waltham-abbey.

Mr. Mucceis, to the edification of a molt numerous attentive congregation: fui. table anthems were performed by the choir, in which they were joined by Gentlemen accuftomed to church mufic, who came unfolicited from,diffe rentparts of the country to take apart in the folemn fervice. Thus was every (acted rite religioully performed in due refpea to the deceafed, whore virtues while living, whore patient fuffering under a long and ferious afiliaion, was truly edifying to all good chriftians. When the Proteaant Clerigy paid their refpeas to BONAPAILTS upon his elelhon for life, he receiv ed them with very particular diftinaion, and de• tamed them near him for an hour and a half.— He alked M. MARRON how he had efcaped the ftorms of the Revolution ? "That is very Pimple, (replied %miaow.) our religion teaches us to obey the authority which governs—we faithfully obeyed all thole which fo rapidly fucceeded each other, and we were never mokfted."—ig Thefe (laid the Conful) are the fentiments of a truly peace able religion—you may le ave m e —l h o p e .that year you may have to folicit more churches from me, and pm may be perfaaded they than be granted to you." The fteppage of the circulation of the Englith Papers occafioned at firft much converfation in the afig and Reading-rooms; thofe which ought to have artived by the poll on the 17th, were not fuffered to reach Paris. However, this fubjea, like molt others, has had there but an ephemeral exillence. The Enpiifh papers are not yet allowei to come into circulation. The following are the particulars of the mode of, proceeding againa the Engliflt Journals. At len is the morning all the Officers of the Police fprm- d themfelves through the coffee-houfes, and the reading-rooms of the Palais Royal ; they in handy; and without (hewing any order, feized and carried off all the daily,weeil;s aNd mosiatifiggicaliow they could find, and bore them to the l oot of the great ftair-oafe of the Tribunate, where they were burned in the midft of a circle formed by the in. valids, of whom the guard of that body is corn. pofed.

We have feldom teen any thing equal to the appearance and per formance of this highly difciplined corps. The rapidity and correanefs of the various manoeuvres .and charges were fuch as to caufe the hightft ad. miration ; and burns of applaufe frOm the fpedtators, with the ftrongeft marks of approbation from their Royal Highnefes, attended every movement; and after the review Wits over their Royal Highneffes teftified their approbation and fatisfaaion, in the ftroogeft terms, to Lieut. Colonel BOLTOII 9 the Commanding Officer. It is a fingular faa that only one Man and one Horfe of the Regiment was on that day ill and unable to join in fquadron ; which is the *melt teft of the excellent rya= of dikiolias Dimaifed in the Raelmese. ~.. ..

MARGATE; AUG. 3r. Sunday was completely a feflival of benevolence and philanthropy. Sermons were preached for the benefit of the Sea-bathing Infirmary, at all the churches and chapels of Margate, Ramfgate, St. Peter's, and Broadftairs. That preached at Mar gate was by Vicssisius Knox, and was fo very nn Alive as to draw tears of fympathy from many of his hearers; one lady of nervous habit' went into violent kyfterics, and was carried out of the church. The colleaion at Margate church alone amounted to about 701. which was received at the doors in plates by the beautiful Duchefs of ST.' ALDAN'S, Cher lifter, Lady HI&TKCOTE, and ano ther Lady. Above ad. was colle&ed at the new gothic Chapel, under the patronage of Lady Aria ZUNI m a and the Counters of GLSNcaIRN. Her Giace the Duchefs of Ditvoa s H las was one of the noble and humane receivers of contributions at Ramfgate. At all the places of public worihip the heart and the hand wire never more united than upon this occafion. Moft of the medical gentlemen, who are the founders and patrons of this huthane inflitution, from London, were prefent at' the fermon, and contributed handfomely in addition to their gra tuitous Cervices. This day the founders and patrons of the Infir mary had their annual dinner at Kidmstn's Royal Hotel; the afternoon was (pent, as might be ex petted, from men of education, humanity, and liberality of fentiment; it was the“ feaft of reafon, and the flow of foul." Among the vifitors were Sir Houma Mama, Sir W. GLARY, Mr.GODFILEIr s Mr. Basra, M; P. and Mr. GANNON/. MARGATR BALLOONS.-The afcenfion of two Balloons from Dandeliekdrew together a greater concourfe of perfons than ever was before colleted in the vicinity of Margate. Perfons poured in froni Dover, Sandwich, Ramfgate, Broadftairs, from all parts of the Wand, and even Canterbury, many perfons having an idea that a man was to afcend with one of the balloons, and defcend in a parachute, though they turned oat mere painted paler bogs, filled with Emote. The firfl, a (mall Striped balloon, afcended very handfomely, taking aS. direaon ; but when it got to the height of about soo yards, it met a current of air, which carried it N. E. and fell in the fea, a mile and a half from the cliffs of Margate. It was in fight about 20 minutes. The fecond, which was inflated by a lamp, there was much difficulty in raifing. It was an oblong, about 18 feet high, painted like GAIN salN's ; had a car fupended to it, containing figures with flags ; but in its afcenfion firiking againfi the trees, the paper travellers got difplaced, and the balloon went wabbling or rolling for about two miles, and. , was pickt up, or rather tore in pieces, at Birch ington. Among the perfons of diftinaifin prefent were their Graces of DP VON S H IRS, Allo + llllll, ST. AL. BAN'S, and MANCHESTER, Lady - Biiitaisiaroo, Lord BRONLNY, and feveral other Noblemen, Lady HAAT ki COTE, and a long lift of dillinguithed perfons. Mrs. Joensa has aol. and a benefit, for fix nights, at Margite. On Saturday three accidents happened at Broad. (lairs of a fimilar nature in the fhort (pace of two hours. A Gentleman driving a horfe and chaife, the horfe ran away, and came with fuch violence againfi the railing which guards the top of the cliffs as to break them ; the carriage being flop. ped by fome polls in the molt miraculous manner, the harnef, broke. the horfe fe ll down the preci pice, and wis,itilled, but the Geittleman received little injury in the chaife. Mr. KNIGHTLY'S carriage was run againft and overturned by a waggon which had been run away with; the coachman was thrown from his feat, and the wheels of the waggon went over him : he lb not expeaed to (urvive. Mr. FORSYTH es carriage was run away with by the horfes, but was flopped before any ferious in jury vials fuftained. There Was a public dinner given this day at Kingfgate, by Sir Roues Maus, at the Digby Tavern. Kingfgate is the delightful frit built upon by Suarinu Pin,Lord HOLLAND, at prefent 5....

We were never fo much crowded with cothpany as we are at this time ; not a bed is to be got for love or money : fome are thankful to be admitted even under the roof of a houfe. It has rained here almoft without ceafing for this fortnight pall, or at any rate, we cannot fay we have had one day without rain. We have plays on Tuefdays, Thurf days, and Saturdays, and affemblies on Monday. Wed9efdays, and Fridays ; but it is to be lamented there is no mailer ofthe ceremonies, which prevents that order and f decorum from being kept up, which ought always to be Rri&ly obferved at fuch meet ings. Wednefday is the drefs affembly. The beautiful Crefcent, which has been built within there few years by the Duke of Damns( e R E t is not found large enough at this time for the company to pa rade when the weather permits; the crowd is fo extremely great that there is hardly a •potlibility of moving. Charges are reafonable, which is much to the credit of the inhabitants. Our vifitors are principally from London, Liverpool, Manchetter, and Lancatter. PRESTON, AUG. 30. Yefterday prefented a fcene which is rarely to lit teen in a county town ; in fact, we were London in miniature, for the number of pedeltrians palling and repaffing through the principal ltreets was aftonifhingly great, while carriages of all defcripa dons poured in almoft one continued line from all the roads leading to this town, but particularly from Liverpool and Manchefter. In Fifhergate, which i 3 the entrance of the town from Liverpool, the horfes in which are modern built, there is a charming terrace ; yefterday the windows were filled with fome of the molt charming Lancathire (witches, dreffed in the tip of the fathion, to view the company enter the town. About fix o'clock the Earl and Countefs ofDa REY entered their houfe in this town from Knowfley, to dinner. They came in a coach and fix, accompanied by Mrs. F AIRS * and Mr. WiLson BRADYL. They were followed by their attendants in two other carriages. We are forry to fay the diftrefs for beds has obliged fome to fubmit to the exorbitant prices de.. mended. A family has given so guineas for three beds in a very °Ware and clofe part of the town, but neceffity has no law. A Itationer near the market place hid the modefty to elk one hundred guineas for three beds add a drawing room, but not fucceeding . in his demand, has fallen in his price to eighty guineas, but has not fucCieded at that. A cottager hearing of the demands made by her fuperiors, put.the belt appearance upon her premifes, and gave out that the would let them during the jubilee, and a Gentleman went to look at the cottage ; on examining the beds he' found the heft was filled with chaff; on the Gentleman afking the old woman her terms, the atked twenty five guineas. The Gentleman told her he fuppofed the meant to offer the cottage and all that was in it for fele at that fum ; but the affured him the was ferious, and would not take a guinea lets. We hardly need add, the Gentleman did not accept of this bargain. Four guineas are paid for the Rend ing of a carriage in an inn yard, and funs in pro portion are paid for horfes. A new theatre has been built on the entrance of the town leading from Liverpool, at an expence of about 30001. preparatory to the Guild. It is under the management of Mr. STANTON. It was opened lalt Wednefday night with Lover? Vows— Frederick by Mr. H. SIDDONS, and sfmelia ham by Mrs. H. SIDDONS. On Thurfday The Stranger and Katherine and Partrehio—the Stranger by Mr. H.

SIDDONS ; with the entertain. ment of The Wedding Day. On Saturday Hamlet; ' the charadter of HAI& by Mr. H. SIDDONS, which he fupported uncommonly well ; Ophelia, by Mrs. H. SIDDONS, which the fultained in her ufual ftyle of excellence. The entertainment was Rena, Belvilk by HILL, of Covent Garden. It was his `fiat appearance here ; he introduced an additional hunting fong. Mrs. Arxres likewife made her fir* appearance in 120na, which the fupported extremely well ;, fhe introduced the Nightinga'e lbng, and HILL and the fung the celebrated duet from Dr. BOYCE'S SoLmon of 6 , Together let us range the Fields." MUNDEN is to be added to their ftrength to-night—he comes from Notting. ham, where be has been playing a few nights.. The prices to the Theatre are to be advanced dur. ing the Jubilee to the London prices. Public ex peaation was railed that Mrs. BiLLINGTO N / would be here ; and th e M anagers o f the bufinefs of the jubilee expeaed her. Mr. GRadSHAW, the Mayor, was in treaty with her, both' by himfelf and agents; her own terms were offered her, but flue broke the treaty off. M r . S TANTON , the inager,_ went to her in perfon, an d after a great d ea l o f difficulty he was h onoure d w i t h an interview. He Offered her one hundred guineas a night, but an excufe was made.—Prefton is not a city of note enough to merit the attention of fo great a terrors age as Mrs. BILLINCTON. . The Guild begins today ; but on account of the early hour the poll clofes, I fear I than not be able to fend you any particulars till tomorrow. It is one general holiday with the manufacturers.
