Lady DALLAS had an elegant Ball on Wednef day night, in Harley-ftreet, which commenced and concluded at an early hour. Mrs. Ross had a fplendid Ball on Tnefday at her Houfe in Harley-flreet. The dances com menced at nine o'clock, the hipper at twelve, and the party broke up before three in the morning. It may be difficult to afcertain which is molt to be dreaded, French Fraternization, or that new kind of German familiarity, under which the Pruffians have now poffeffed themfelves of the frontiers of Hanover, and the Danes feized the forts of Ham burgh by force of arms, merely to guarantee their trade and independence The Eafter Hunt on Epping Foreft tall Monday, was not fo humorous a fpeEtacle as former feafons have afforded ; this kind of falling of militates againft the ancient charaaeriffic of civic h>ortlman- J l 4 O A Ga a is Gowis.—The origin of this expreffion, for what formed a great part of the atm:cement at Greenwich-hill, on Monday and Tuefday is more ancient than is, perhaps, fupporcd.— There is in the Tower inter Breuia Regu Edwards 111 . alum `351) a Record of the indielment of WILLIAM Fox, Parton of Lee, near Gainf borough, and others, fur that they came to Brad holm, in the county of Nottingham, and then and there forciblytook and carried a certain Nun named MARGARET de EVERINGHAN, a Sifter of the laid houfe, exuentes eon he:Linens religiofum et in.lonotes tam robam viridemfeaslarem, anglice, giving her agreen gown.

The C ork Theatre opened on Monday laft, un der the management of Mr. HOLMAN. A new piece, entitled The New World, was late ly brought out at one of the Paris Theatres.

PARISIAN FAINIONS.—Diadems and garlands are Rill the mode in full drefs. The head-drefs knot is tied with hair lower than ulna', and the whole has more the appearance of a Dutch than a Grecian head-drefs. Hats of white Itraw are worn in undrefs in a negligent, but not an ungraceful (Lyle, and the cap is embroidered with tranfparent rotes. Plain ribbons, mofily white, or of the colour of Egyp tian earth, are in fathion. Thefe two colours have obtained the preference over lilac, jonquil, and rofe. Among the flowers, the Narciltus is the molt in vogue. In the article of jewels, pearls are very generally toed about medallions, on bracelets, and in ear-rings. It may, perhaps, be confidered as a cireamilance not total ly unworthy of police , that the three hit licenced curates of Torver, in the parith Ulvcr. Ron, are all living; and ail of them labour under the lots of fight!--The Rev. Mr. BELL, the pre fent curate, has been tiny years in that capacity. He is eighty-four years of age ; yet by far the youngeft of the three I—This is certainly a curi ous, though, (in regard to their infirmities) a la mentable coincidence: but we have the fatibfac tion to add, that they are all comfortably provid ed for, and eat iy, in alleviation of their futerings, the refpeti an veneration of all who know them. STAYS-Lornay.--Yefterday No. 6,345, as ftrft drawn, was entitled to 30,0001. The Penny-Poft, which has juft been abolifhed, was created in 1683, by a Mr. DAVID MURRAY, an Upholder in Paternofter-row. It form became an °Neel of attention to Government, but fo low were its profits, that DOCKWRA, who fucceeded MDR. RAY, had a penfion of only aool. a year given him in lieu of it. This occurred in 1716. In Sir R. MusoKAVE'S hiftory of the late rebelli on in Ireland, we have the following curious anec dote: One rebel (at the battle of Roll), embolden ed by fanaticifm and drunkennefs, advanced be fore his comrades, feized a gun, crammed his hat and wig into it, and cried out, " Come on, boys ! her mouth is flopped." At that infant the gun ner put a match to the gun, and blew the unfortu nate man to atoms. The following fads are feleEted from the laft American Papers, which have been received in London : Mr. MARSHALL has been appointed Chief Juaice of the United States. The American Sedition Law, after a keen de bate in Congrefs, has been.continued. A dreadful fire at Providence' has occafioned damage to the amount of soo,ooo dollars. Five Indian Chiefs have proceeded to the Seat of the General Government at Wafhington, to de mand finisfatlion for the late murder of two In dians by two United Irifhmen. The undertaking for bringing water from the Schnylkil, to be chaributed in pipes for the de of domellic economy in Philadelphia, has been hap. pity completed. A letter received yefterday from Bideford Rates as follows We have this day been in the greateft confufion. Fifteen hundred of the mili tary have been under arms to quel the riots in this town and its vicinity. The rioters colleded in bodies of three and five hundred perfons, went to the adoining parithes, and compelled the farmers to fel l •wheat, barley, butter, &c. at a very re duced price. They cemdued themfelves with rregularity, and obtained, as the end of their et e l i gn was, the following reduitions in this prices of the undermentioned articles: wheat las. per blithe!, which was 235.; butter Bd. per lb. which' was 16c1.; eggs fevers for ad. potatoes 6d. a ftrike, which were 144." A letter from Cheptlow faye-- 44 I am Awry to inform you that we have mobs in eur county, who go about forcing the farmers to fell their grain at low prices. I wrote you, fome months ago, that die people Laid they would Ray to fee what Go vernment would do for them; that if it did not lower the price of provifons, they would do it themfelves. They have, we finccrely regret, kept their word, and remind us of it. Such condu& difhcartens farmers more than if Government had fixed the price : for it would have confidered what was a price to encourage the growth of wheat and potatoes." BATH, Arm B.—Yetterday morning a large body of people colleCted in Warminfter, who went with a paper to the gardeners, compelling them by threats to fell their potatoes at reduced prices ; and towards the es eniug the mob having much increafed and beeom;ng more ferious, Mr. William Hughcs, the high constable, with other peace-of ficers, feized tome of the ringleaders, and lodged them in ctifiody; and by their timely interference, and the alliflanee of a party of the zd or Royal North Britifli Dragoons, the peace of the town and neighbourhood has been preferred." in the }Joule of Commons,. on Monday the ld ult. Mr. ALLARDYCE oppofed Mr. Nicams's mo tion for leave to bring in a bill for reftraining the Bank from encreafing its dividends.—He alked whether the Hon. Member meant that Parliament (honk{ break its faith with the Proprietors, or to punith them for what they could not help ? The proprietors, fume of whom refided in Holland, Flanders, Switzerland, and Germany, were not accefEtry to the Bank's not making their payments in frecie ; the Bank were retrained by an Ad of Parliament from making payments in fpecie, and were they to be punifhcd for obeying that Aft ? it was a wife and provident AEI ; it is notorious that the Exchange between Hamburgh and this country is unfavourable for the latter; that a guinea which paffes here for twenty-one thillings is worth twenty-four thillings at Hamburgh. In there circumllances it is impotfible to prevent gold from being exported, which might afterwards go to pay Boa APARTOS armies : that the Honourable Gentleman wanted to force the Bank to do what was illegal, if the dividend is not made of the' whole profits. as required by the 7th of Queen Anne chap. 7. What remained would create an increafe of capital, which cannot be done without the authority of Parliament; that it was under the lanCtion of ACts of Parliament that the whole profits, the charge of management osly except. ed, Ihould be : feeured to the proprietors; that they have become proprietors in the Bank; that the Bank has paid a valuable confederation lately for a renewal of their charter; that any infringe. runt of it would be a breach of faith in the Par liament : that the Hon. Mover ought to con- Cider the propriety of his motions before he brought them forward ' • that no Member of the Houle brought forwar d more motions, time of them on grave and fubjeas, but be begged to know if ever he had carried one of them ; that for his part he wondaed where he had got a Member to fecond his motion; he was certain he would not have more than five or fix to divide for it, if he Ihould be fo unwire as to prefs the motion to a di. vifion.—ln anfirer to an oliervation of Mr. Tier ney, that the furpins profits was confidered as a fecurity to the public for the payment of the debts of the Bank, Mr. Allardyce hated, that the whole capital of the Bank of it,686,4c01. was fabjea to the payments of the Bank, and therefore a molt ample fecurity.—That the Direitors had Leen (evenly eenfured for not complying with a pofitive AR of Parliament, diretting thiat the whole pro fits Could be divided from time to time (at leaft every fix months) among the proprietors for the time being, but that the Hon. Gentleman was dif. 'contented that they &mild now partially comply with that AR. in dividing only a twentieth part 'of what it direCted. 1 ELIEF OF THE POOR. 7IFT:i.RFPORT FROM THF.
