ROYAL FAMIL2I. R EYMOUTH, Auo. z7.—ln a fhort time 'after his MAJESTY was informed of the death of his Royal Brother, he fent for Lord Hawassboar, and com municated his commands refpeeting the funeral; and a Hobby Groom was difpatched to London. At tour o'clock yellerday afternoon, the windows of the King's Lodge were (but. None of the Royal Fa mily have come nut of the houfe !nice the arrival of t h.. ex pects announcing the death of the Duke of CLOUCESTiIt. nor have they even appeared at the v.iodows. We had nn play tail night in confequence. All the King's (hips and Royal yachts have lowered their colours upon the occallon, as are thofe upon the batteries. We are happy to fay his MAJESTY is better, and we underftand he would have rode out t hi s morniag but. for the death of his brother. Yelterday one of his Majelly's brigs brought in two fmugglers' boats. loaded with liquor, fuppofed !et he Hollands, which was lately lodged in the Cull tom linufe. The crews, amounting to fourteen, were fent on board the King's Mips. The acconnts which have appeared of the Dnehefs and Princcfs SOMA May moa of Glmicetter, having left Gloueerler Houfe for the Duchefs's villa at Brampton, are erroneous. Neither of them have • left their rooms fince the death of the Dike. One of the Duke's Pages has attended confiantly is the room where the corpfe of his Royal Highnefs has laid fince his death. Likewife two attendants is an adjoining room. On Toe (lay night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, when the undertakers weqp about to put the body of the Doke of GLOUCESTER into the cof fins, and to folder it tip, they fent, as is cultomary, to know if any of the Family wifhed to fee it. The Duchefs and Ptincefs, fearing they fhnuld not be able to fiipport themfelves in loch a trying moment, de'clined it. The Prince, for the firß time, left his room, and went to fee that every attention was paid to the remains of his beloved father. His Royal Highnefs appeared extremely affected at the arduous talk he had nndertaken, but fupported liimfelf with a deal of fortitude. The body was laid in an oak coffin, which was put into a lead one. The men had not fiaifhed foldering till yefferday noon. A number of applications were made by gentlemen, as well as the domeftics of the Duke, to fee the corpfe : but Prince WitAtAst refnfed all applications. The outfide csaFn, which is to be covered with etimfon velvet, and is to have gold ornaments, was not finifhed let night. Early yefterday morning a will of the Duke of OcoticssrEt was found, in which he expreffes a de fire to be but ied at Windfor, of which notice was given at the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and in eon fequence, an exprefs was fent off to Weymouth to inform his MAJESTY. All preparations for the fu neral, which were to have commenced yelleeday, were fulpended till his MAJarry's ennonands are known, which are expected to arrive this day. It was Rated lag night that the late Duke of Gtou eysTEß's Secretary attended yesterday at Mr. PITT'S in Downing-Rreet ; but the Minifler not being in town he fct off for his feat in Putney Heath, to inform him of the arrangements being altered for the Duke to be interred at Windfnr. Eight of the Duke's Pages and principal domet ties in black, and eight footmen in their Rate liveries, will follow the Duke to the grave. ACCIDENT AT LORD CASTLIRIACIII.-..ME. PITT, accompanied by Lord Carnet sac H. Lord Mot.- GRAVE, and Mr. Lotto, went down the River as far as Woolwich, on Tuefday, in Sir' Stoner SMITH'S 'double boat, when a complete experiment was made of her powers. She is Paid to be intended for land ing troops and artillery, and that no boat has yet been conhruded, capable at the fame time of fuch rapidity of movement, and of carrying fo many men. Another object of this excurfion to Woolwich was, we underhand, to fee an experiment of fome newly invented fire rockets, onnftruited by Mr. Coli c RRVE, a Jon of General CONGRATS ; feveral large vollies of which, difcharging an immenfe body of fire, and ranging a prodigious height and diflance, were fired from a boat in Galleons Reach. It is Paid that this new weapon has proved itfelf capable of loch deftruCtion, that it is to be applied againk the enemy in fome way or other, without delay. At eleven o'clock at night an accident happened to Lord CAS. TLRREACH, which had likely to have prayed fatal.— The prow is conftruaed by the juntlion of two boats by means of a platform. Lord CASTLIMRACH , in croffing the platform from the one boat to the other, fell into the River below Woolwich, and in a deep and moll rapid part of the flream. It was quite dark. The Noble Lord is, fortunately, a dextrous Swimmer, and he kept himfelf for Come minutes afloat until he feized on one of the crofs beams of the plat form, and was dragged into the boat. He was con veyed to the inn at Woolwich, where lie procured a change of cloaths, filch as they were, and having only a curricle in waiting, was taken home in a gen tleman's carriage to Eaft Sheen. Yellerday, as Sir Jona STANLIIT'S carriage was paffing through Bond greet, the coachman was Block off the box by driving over fome large hones, left by labourers in the carriage way, and his leg was broke. After receiving affißanee at a fisrgeon's near the Spot, the poor fellow was conveyed home. On the 15th inh. a boy in Dundee, of the name of Seorr, who had mixed among the crowd at the har. boor, to fee the arrival of the two whale fhips, dropt into the water, and was carried to fome diftance, by the rapidity of the current. A There-maker, named KiaiLi.arro, throwing off his jacket and fhnes only, immediately plunged after him, and faved him. until a boat came to their mutual relief. This is the fecond inhance of this young man having preferred the life of a fellow creature. An unfortunate accident happend at Forfar on Saturday lag. Two boys in bringing home a rellive boric from grafs, were thrown from him. The latter had, unluckily, been made fait round the writ of the format boy, CHARLES EDWARD. about eight years of age, by which means he was dragged, and fo broiled in the head, that he eapired in a few minutes. On Monday afternoon, as a young lad, the fon of Mr. Daniel., of the Borough, was exercifing a fpiri. ted bode, the animal made a plunge, and the fuddle as that moment turning, he fell, and his (kith was fn dreadfnlly fraltuted, that he expired in excruciating torture in the courfe of the evening.

The follong further infnnnation on this fubjett, is given in awletter dated Fnlkilcone, Auguft 26 : When the infpeetion at Dover, by the Duke of You, finifhed op Saturday; his Royal Highnefs pro. seeded to the Follatone Heights. when the t lth Light Dragoons, commanded by Colonel T 11014.11% were drawn up to receive him. The difcipline. alert nefs, and proficiency of this regiment drew from the Commander in Chief very warns and merited coin mendation. The Martello Towers' crating on and near Cob Point, and which command the adjacent Bay, next occupied the attention of the Royal Party who reached Sandgate at eight o'clock, where they dined with Major-General Moose. The Brigade at Shorneliffe were ordered to be ready to ree&ve his Royal Highnefs the next morn ing at eight o'clock ; but a very thick fog prevented thefe orders from being carried into execution before twelve, when the atmofphere became perfeety clear. The regiments of which this brigade is compofed, are the ill and 2d battalions of the 43d, the IR and 2d battalions of the s:d, the 2tl battalion of the 78th, and a Highland regiment lately railed; to thefe are attached teveral pieces of artillery. The ground was kept by a detachment from the it th Light Dragoons. The 43d were on the right ; the Sad on the left; the 78th in the centre. and the artillery on each flank. The batteries and Sandgate Cattle were manned by the Sea Fencibles, and the battery on Shorneliffe by a party from the Flintlhire militia. His Royal Highnefs was received with a "Royal Salute : he then rode in front and rear of the brigade, and afterwards took his Ration oppofite the centre. The troops paired his Royal Highnefs both in flow and quick time, and "chilli they were engaged in per. forming fome evolutions the Artillery deft:ended the hill in different directions, taking various pofitinns, which had been allotted them. After a fhort in- . terval, feveral columns of infantry followed, and took their (Winn& The plan adopted was defentive, loch as would be reforted to flould the enemy have the temerity to attempt to land. The tit battalion of the 43d and a pan of the lift of the pd were drawn up in a line upon the lower parts of the hill, facing the lea, and were fuppnrted by the 78th, who were placed on a part more elevated. On a (mall eminence to the left of this line. and nearer the village of Sand gate. the remaining part of the IR battalion of the szd was Rationed in the rear of four pieces of can non. Above the village the ad battalion of the 52d took their ground ; the fummit of the hill was lined by two divifions of the ad battalion of the 43d; Shnrneliffe Battery was on the right. and Sandgate Cattle on the left of the brigade. The variety of the groand exhibited the troops to the greateß advantage, and Cot a few moments a fo lemn filenee prevailed, which allowed the fpettators time to contemplate the beauty and grandeur of the fpeeacle. The Shorneliffe Battery begun the engage ment; the guns at the Cattle immediately followed, and silo the artillery on the different points a the hills, and in an inttant afterwards the whole line fac ing the lea was in a continual blaze, which lafted fe veral minutes, when the whole was concluded. His Royal Highnefs in the afternoon reviewed the troops at Brabourne Lees. Some unexpected orders. having been Hilted by the General, Sir D. DUNDAS, occa fioned a momentary delay ; but the 9Sth. a Rifle Corps, difplayed great r erfetion, as well as two battalions of the York, which had marched from Milford. This morning, at the reeptell of his Royal Highnefs. the firß battalioni of the 43d and 52/I re giments were again drawn out, and went through leveral evolutions with wonderful precifion, in dou ble quick time. Monday morning, coon after eight o'clock. the troops from Brighton and from Lewes, confining of the Ennilkillens, and the Queen's Dragoons, the Royal Artillery, the South Glunceller, the Dorfet, tbn South Hams. and the Monmouth and Brecon Mili tias, affembled on Newmarket-hill. Some very We refting practice, in the end, tank place; though. ex cepting by the dragoon fkirmifhing parties, no powder was walled. Soon after one o'clock the whole of the troops had reached the fummit of the fir R /two from Brighton ' where they had fcarcely formed in line. the Horfe an d the Artillery being to the right and left of the Infantry, when the Patrice made his appearance. As his Royal Highnefs advanced, mounted on his fine fpirited grey charger, and accompanied by his Aid 0-Camp, Major 131M014ruLD, and Colonel Let ca, the colours were dropped, the Officers fainted, and the Bands of the Infantry, together with the trumpets of the horfe, played God frme she King. Generals Earl CravenandHugonincondußed the bufinelsof the day. Monday morning the ad Regiment of Royal Raft India Volunteers, commanded by Major THszt.vs sow, on permanent duty at Maidftone, afembled on the parade in the Barrack-yard, at (even o'clock, with fix field•pieces, in order to be reviewed by Bri gadier General Hay. They marched from the depot at eight o'clt.ck, arrived at Coxheath, and the line was formed by nine, when the General arrived, and the operations of the day commenced, with four of their field-pieces on the right, and two on the left, fupporting the regiment in its different manoeuvring lituattons, which were very extenfive. The Brigadier General ezpreffed his higheft approbation of the mi litary conduU difplayed on the occafion. There were prefent their Colonel Sir HUGH locus, their Lieu tenant Colonel Sir Wit.t.taat BINSLIT, and Cetera' other cfficers, and many neighbouring gentry. It is but juilice to fay, this fine regiment does the greateft credit to the Volunteer Efiablithment ; the conduit and appearance of both officers and men being pet tedly folgierlike, and their difcipline is highly fpnken of. Yellerday morning, on conclufion of perma nent duty, the regiment left that town on its return, to make zoom for another battalion of the fame bri gade, expeded there this day. Votutirsses.—ln addition us the lilt of necef laries which our gallant defenders have been requir ed to provide themfelves with to complete their marching order, there is one article which is extreme ly requifite every Volunteer fhould be poffeffed of, as it may materially contribute to his cafe and comfort. It will readily he underitond that we allude to a Tic ket or Share in the tich Lottery which begins draw ing nest month, and no where, in our opinion, could the numerous Capital Prizes it contains be more hap pily beßewed, than in rewarding thole who have fo nobly ftepped forward in defence of their country.

After tea his Royal Highnefs's Band attended in the Mufic-room, and performed feveral exguifite pieces, but the pleafures of the fcene were fuddenly marred by an exprefs which arrived from London, announcing the death of his Royal High *lfs the Duke of Gloucefter. A ludicrons incident occurred this morning during the earlyfessfag flow, on that part of the beach called the Ladies Bath. A Png TOM, very probably con ceiving, from the free iry)etfien: of certain of our fair philofophers, that a free trade was eitablithel in the way of ogling " the human form divine," approach ed within the forbidden limits of the Ladies' bathing boxes, and by the aid of a (mall telefcope, was ii.- dulging his curiofity with the fportive frolics and va rious forms of the fairlVerridr, while they pickled their charms in the briny flood ; when the High Prießefs of the myfteries, Martha Gunne (a very formidable piece of artillery, and of no ordinary ea.librr) aided by a party of her fitter Mermaid:, commenced Inch a difcharge of (tones and gravel againft the unlucky Coriajo, as taught him the prudence of " Apia: hi: pofition, and falling by a rapid movesseat, to the rear." At two o'clock their Royal Highneffes the Dukes of You and CAMItesDOR, arrived here, in their tra velling carriage, with poll horfes. They were re ceived by his Royal Highnefs the Prince of Wm.'s; and the meeting between the Royal Brothers was in the warmea Ryle of cordiality and affeeion. After they had taken Tome refrefhrnent at the Pavilion, the Prince, accompanied by his Royal Brothers, the Duked'OaLsmes, General Dussouatra, Col. Lis, and Major Blow evs cto, went to fee the fuperb fnite of Rabling ereaing for his Royal tlighnefs, Weft of the Pavilion. The Duke of Casteasnoi afterwards, accompanied by the Duke d'Oacsaus, paid a few vifits, and fhortly after the Royal Dukes, who re mained but an hour and twenty minutes, retuned their carriages, and fet out direlly on their way to Weymouth. General DUMOtratra's appearance on the Steine this morning excited much notice and curiofity. Tuefday Morning, at nine o'clock, was interred in South Audley Chapel, the Hon. Mr. KERR/ fon of Lord M.

IPSWICR LAMS Ipfwich Lamb Fair, which began on Thurfday lag, there was a greater (hew of lambs than there has been for two or three years pall ; the computed numbers were from go to too,ooo. It was three o'clock in the afternoon before the fair was fet e and very little bufintfs indeed was dune during the remainder of the day. On Friday the Fair commenced at a much earlier hour, and the tale of polled lambs was elicited with an unprecedented brifknefs. Thofe of the whole and half-bred Southdown Rock were evidently much the .moli eagerly fought after, and fo great was the rage for Rock of this defcription, that, until the greater part of the polled lambs were fold, very few Norfolk lambs could be difpofed of at any proportionate price.' Towards the evening, however, many parcels of tbefe lambs were fold, and on the Saturday morning the fair recommenced much more brilkly, but declined afterwatds, though very few remained undifpofed of in the evet.ing of that day ; but it mull be admitted, that thofe which were fold, did not reach fn much by 31. in the pound as they did lag year ; although ge nerally (peaking, they were in much better condition. Of the Sothdown breed, Sir Charles Davers's and Mr. Howard's reached. for the wether lambs, a4l. per (core ; Adm. Wilfon's, of Redgrave, and Mr. Walton's, of Timwortb, obtained 231. tos. ; Mr. Mofeley's, of Tofts, were fold at tgs. each ; and the half-bred hock obtained from 161. per (core, to 231. los. at which latter price Mr. Pawky's, of Lidgate, were fold ; Mr. Derifley's, ofCroxton, obtained aos. each ; Mr. Wolton's, of Playford, rgs. 6d. ; Mr. Cotton's, of Kefgrave, 'Ss. 6d.; and Mr. Fowell's, of Elden, t 6s. 6d. Of the half-bred Leiceffers, the Earl of &Mors wether lambs were fold as high as s6s. each ; and the ewes, though not (defied, at :as. 6d. Mr. Arthur Brooks's wetber lambs (though the bell conditioned of any in the fair), were fold for ass. each ; Mr. Brown, of Barton, (drained 335. 6d. for his wether lambs, and one guinea for his ewe lambs ; Mr. Ro per's of Lackford, Mr. Simpfon's of Flempton, and fome few others, were fold as high as a 21. per (core ; Mr. Stutter's, of Eldo, were fold, ewe and wether, at 211. to,. per (core. The prices of the be ItNorfolk lambs were, generally (peaking, nut fo high, although Mr. I. Brook's, of Horringer, quite fat, fold for as!. per (core, and Mr. Becton's, of Hardwick, altogether, at 231. tcos. Mr. Archer, of Barton Mills, whofe half bred South. down lambs, ewe and wether, were fold at one gui nea each, obtained los. 6d. for his Norfolk wether lambs, and his ewe lambs were f,,ld at ills. The Doke of Grafton's, Mr. W.'rledge's of Ingham, Mr. Payne's of Tnddenhan, and fome few other wether lambs, were fold as high as about tBl. per (core ; Mr.Twifs's, of Brettenhana, ;61. rss. and Mr.Gwilt's of Ickliagham, z 51. but by for the greater part of the heath lambs of this defcription, were fold according to their qualities, as from sal. to tsl,_ or 161. per (core. Some few of the growers not being willing to corn• ply with the redultion of the pikes of their lambs, were under the necellity of having them driven back again. One of the moll fingular bargains at Ipfwich Fair was that of a Medical Gentleman felling a favourite poney mit Norfolk Farmer, for so of the bell &cep in his pen, on condition that he gave him al. per (core for the remainder, which, however, the former was unable afterwards co fell. taw INrEtuashics. &tilt Or CHANCERY, RtiCHJET4 sLecrtosasatno. . -4 ~ tx PART* tisems.—The LORD CNILICRILLOIR WU* vered Judgment in this cafe, which his Lordutip faid was on a fingular quenion, and he fhould deliver the opinion he entertained now, but if he fhould change his mind, he &mild take care that the faa &old be communicated to both parties, but he was at prefent of opinion that this debt could not be proved, and he Rated that opinion with a great deal of regret, at the fame time he mutt adminifter the law as he con. ceived it to be : this gentleman had iniquellionably an extremely good debt, provided his claim to prove it could not be met by objettions.
