This day the Plumes had a (mall party to din ner, confining of the fika few who have fo fre cuently been mentioned upon the fame occafion this feafon. The DUKE Of CLARENCE had commanded the Amax, but the PP.INC Os ball prevented his High nefs, and of courfc mon of the fithionable people, front 4ttellding; the honk, however, was tolerably well filled, (12ick's /fur being the attraelion, which, together with his OM Duiky in the farce, went off with its ufual eclat. To.night he has The Brothers, with Barnat_v Brit !'. The P.:INCE is eXpenCLI to be there, as the commencement of the performance is put off until half 'WI fev en, by his Hinhnefs's order. The Duicz of CLARENCE left Brighton for town shout tt o'clock this day. The PRINCE does not leave us until Monday, haying a dinner at the Pavillion to-morrow (Sunday). Colonel MON T.

The laR arrivals are tha Earl of CHICHESTLIt and Lntd GRANTLEY. Sir Jemx and Lady LADE have returned to Brighton, and with a phzton and four, have this day been exhibiting their (kill by navigating all the (harp turnings. The new wings which have been added to the naine Pavilion are the admiration of every vifi tor at this place. They have given it an unifor mity which produces a moll pleating died, and do credit to the architeftural talk of Mr. Hot.- "D. The front, towards Eaft-flreet, is brought ferward with a pediment frontilpiece, fupported ty (our immenfe columns, and die plaifler work in hcfco, all in imitation of 'tone. The drive in, which was before very narrow, is rendered more commodious. The Pa IN CE t when he has recovered hi, rights in arrear from the Duchy of Cornwall, intends to add another wing to correfpond with the hook late Weltje's. The following are the particulars of the im provements that have beat made in the interior of Cie hui!ding T:ie Prince's bed-chamber is divided into three c . r tr . ?artments ; the cent r e e n e lof es , by fliding par tin: bed intended to be fitted up as a tent, s.i:h lookinr, , rlaff..s and rtrieflors, exhibiting to I R,y:ll Hig t hnefs the promenade on the Sterne, ry svLile lie reclines on his pillow.

The win dows of the whole lint are executed with uncom mon mechanical (kill : the Ihntters are wainfcot, and, when doled, form pilatters to the window frames. The Library will he fitted up with bookcafes, in the French Style, in imitation of Fain wood—the paper a brilliant yellow. The Billiard.roorn is very extenfive, and will includa, hazard, billiard, and money tables for the large parties whom the PRINCE entertains dui . . ing the race week. The entrance to the Raircafe from the anti.room is extremely Spacious and grand—the pillars in fcatieli, are by Richter.

The 11411, (lone colour and white : in the centre is placed a patent Rove, which commu nicates warmth to the whole building. All the coridores are painted a French blue. The Plumes, though highly pleafed with the improvements upon the whole, has determined upon many alterations. His Highnefs is offended at a mixture of the orders of architalure inter woven wi:h the alterations, which, in his eßima tion, do not harmonize. The dome is to be com pletely altered, the painting, by Rebecca, taken down, and the tout enfendle to reprefent a Chinefe palace. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 13. Captain BELIN has had the credit of carrying over a large emboffed !liver goblet, made in Lon don, by a fubfcription of the merchants and others at the island of Guernfey, is a tehirnony of refpeet for their native gallant Admiral SAL/I'4IIEI.Z, in confequence of his valour in the capture of le Re- Union French f: igate, without the lofs of a man. Our races commenced on Tuefday, when a clip of sol. value was won by Mr. Stackpolt.'s bay mare Constant, beating two others. A purfe of 20 guineas was won by Mr. Braith wayth's chefnut boric, beating two others. On Wednefday, the 2(1 day, a purfe of 2e gui neas was won by Mr. Ailing's bay gelding, beat ing five others.

A fubfcription purfe was won by Mr. Ayling's brown mare, beating two others. The belts rim high in favour of Mr. Stackpolc's Conftant, and from the above Ratement her fup porters gained confiderably. The evening of the fit* day concluded with a ball given by the Rewards, at the Long Room, and that of the fecond with a play. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Saturday night, after the Comedy of the London Hermit, a new Burlctta and Ballet Dance, called - the Fairies' Revels, or Love in the Highlanl, was performed for the flirt time.—The plot is profeffed to be taken from a Poem entitled The Ring," written by the late T. LITTLE, Efq. and the principal Novelty of the piece is, that it is performed entirely by Mailers and Miffes. The Scene lies in the Highlands of Scot land. The plot chiefly confills of the efcape of two lovers from the father of the damfel, who purfues them, and recovers his daughter. The Queen of the Fairies commands one of her trufly dves to !hike at the patlions of the lovers, and orders a ring to be given to the hero of the piece, to prom& him from the perplexing attempts of the father. This hero, however, in crdcr to gain the good opinion of the old man, fignalifes himfclfin tingle combat, but having placed the ring on the finger of a flame, the latter becomes animated, and claims him for her hufband. The hermit, iftylin, however, fur nithes Lim with the means of breaking the charm, and lie is united to Ifabel. The Rory is dramatifed by FAWCETT, and the mak furnithed by Dr. AttmoLo. The Overture is a very.pleating one, the Airs are chiefly Scotch melodies, the fimpli city of which conveys a charm, no flyle of mufic can furpafs : there was a Duet between Mifs Tv- RER and Mi . ; HOWELL, which had the happieß effe&, and was defervedly encored. The piece is well go; up, the &elks in general are appropriate, and the fcenery beautiful. Upon the whole the Spectacle gave univerfal fatisfadlion, and was de fervedly received with every mark of approbation. The following cafe occurred on Saturday at the Court of Requells :—A dancer of inferior talents, one of the figure dancers at the Opera Houfe, was employed by a Lady of fafhion and ditlinaion to atria at a Fete Champetre the gave in honour of the late peace. The Lady had imagined a fcene re pt-dented by living characters, in which Britannia was to be feated on a throne, attended by Peace, Plenty, Lilerty, Commerce, ProlPerity, and, in (tort, by emblematic perfoni6cations of every blefling Heaven has bellowed. To execute this claffical defign, it was neceffary to have perfons to &Rain the charaFters, and with that view feveral of the figure dancers of the Opera Houfe and the The atres were engaged. When they had concluded, they were allowed to partake of every luxury pro vided by the liberal miltrefs of the feaß, and at their departure they each received a compliment of three guineas. Handfome as this remuneration was, it did not fatisfy the plaintiff; the wrote word to the Lady that the never accepted lefs than five guineas. The Lady referred her to her Houk Steward, who, thinking the had been very well paid, refufed her any further fatisfaetion. Upon his refufal, the reduced her demand to 395. and fummoned the lady for that fum. The Steward attended, and explained the circumflanccs to the Commiflioners, who told the plaintiff they could not adjuft a matter offiich importance. She might bring her action in the Court of King's Bench, but they could not take cognizance of a caufe when the demand had been leffened merely for the pur pore of bringing it within their jurifdiftion.

When he thould prove this cafe, he was corldent the pity would give his ciienz Inch da: mages - would in Come degree compenfatt for the injury flue !...ad Itillained. Ellen Sly was the principal leitnels fer the plain: tiff. elie had !mown her for the lall two years, as fervant to Mr. Stoekdale of Knarc(borough. The witnefs wagged for Mr. Stockdale during the whole of that time ; and almoft every wafhing day the had teen the defendant by the fide of the plaintiff's tub, paying his addreffes to her. He appeared to he fluently in love with her, and often talked of marriage, hut at length told her of his taking the bottle. and confulted her about the furniture and provii:ons he was to lay in, and whether it was belle to get corn or flour. At that time the in:adage feemed very near, when he told the witnefs that het was in a very diflrefling fituation : there was a d—d girl at Harrowgate to whom he had prom fed marriage before two witneffes, and who vowed the would profecute him if he did not keep his pro. Mile. He accordingly went to Harrowgate, and on his return told the witnefs he had fettled with that girl, and afked if Mary (the plaintiff) would marry him the next day ? The witnefs bid him afk Mary ; he accordingly did fo ; and the plain. tiff that day gave her miftrefs warning, and gave the witnefs a gown, 'petticoat, and pair of flock. ings, to be wathed againft the next day, and made fume other little preparations for her approaching nuptials. Before the next day came, the defendant d iiappeared, and in a day or two after married the Harrowgate girl. About a fortnight after he paid a vifit to the witnefs, with whom the plaintiff wag then fitting ; the plaintiff told him, " She thould be glad to with him joy, but his bad behaviour would not allow her.' The defendant laid, "he w a s very lorry, and would make her any compen. fation in his power." Mrs. Sly laid, he ought to give her thirty guineas : he replied, " She would never take that. Mary then burfl out a crying and left the boufe ; the defendant followed and overtook her, and the next day told the witnefs the had cried a great deal, and he was extremely lorry for her. On her crofs•examination, the was afked by Mr. PARK, whether the plaintiff had not often, during the length of time the objeCted to the match, de clared that the defendant was fetch a nafty illlook. into animal that the thould be afliamed to he feen walking with him ? Thewitilefs declined, as much as polhible, aTifwering that or fimifar queftions ; but faid, that no girl had a right to fay fo of the ddendant, whom the always confidered a very nice little man. One riercy, a fervant of Mr. Stockdale's, prov ed that the cletenJant had arplied to him to pro cure a licence, and that the plaintiff had made preparations for the marriage ; and, in particular, had borrowed linen and oilier things from him. On his ernes-examination, he eras afked why thole things were borrowed wily ? he answered. becanfe tie marriage bore a very numphli, kind cf auearance. Being recuelted to explain the mean in of the word rzump!up, he faid the defendant did not know his own mind, and therefore it was a doubt whether the marriage would take place or not. Mr. Rum addreffed the Jury on the part of the defendant fitid, that although this little ale i:onfe which the defendant had taken in Knarel borough, was, for the purpofcs of this cattle,fwelled into a gr:at inn, and it was attempted to irdinuate, that the defendant was a man of property; yet, in tru.h and in faift, he was a poor man now, and had been an humble hofiltr when firll he paid his devotions at the thrive of his adoration, the mil:. tub of the plaintiff in this a9ion : his ciient was a moll unf"rtunato poor devil, and he united the Jury would not, by giving heavy damages in this filly cafe, immure him in a jail for the tell of his days.
