There will be a vifible lunar eclipfe on Saturday the t ith infant, at 14 minutes part nine at night; the middle or greateft obfcuration will be at 39 minutes paft ten; digits eclipled 9 deg. 11 MIA.; the eclipfe will end at 5 min. part twelve. _ The interior of Covent-Garden Theatre is to have tome ornamental improvements before the opening, but no efential alteration is to take place. The general appearance of therrheatre will be much more light, elegant, and Shewy. Mifs Maattor, who has diftinguilhed herfelf in Provincial Companies, is engaged at Covent-Gar den Theatre. She is young and interefting. Her forte is genteel Comedy. Mrs. JORDAN is engaged for the Liverpool Theatre at fifty guineas per night and a free be nefit, the fame terms on which Mrs. /311.1 mm-row performs there.

At Aldborough fair on Saturday lag, the (hew of cattle was greater than has been known for a number of years paft. Being but few purchafers, they went off at very reduced prices. At Spalding Fair on Friday laft, there was a large (hew of beafts, and confidering the paft fine weather, and profpett of its continuance, they fold dear. Horfes alfo fetched higher prices thatrwere expeited. _ _ Pheafints are this year remarkably numerous in Sulks ; nides of from 14 to IS, befides the parent birds, are by no means uncommon in that county. The tft of Oeober, may, therefore, be expeeted to turn out more /wary than did he tit of Sep tember. The water which got into the cellars of the ware houfes at the New Dock Poplar is entirely with drawn, and they are fit to receive goods. Three Weft Indiamen are difcharging their cargoes. There are in the baton twenty•two fail of large flips, which make a beautiful appearance ; more are ezpeaed daily. • The French Colonial Prefe& at Guadeloupe, Lsscat,Liee has written both to M. Orro, and to the Minifier of Marine at Paris, in terms of the InMOR civility and gratitude, of the conduit of Governor joeurroa at Dominica. He mentions tot only the hofpitality he and his companions bad received; but the aid in provifions and flares which General RWIIII%IIIII had obtained. He adds, that the other EnglifliCommandershvl not 'hewn the fame difpofition as Governor Jovarros, and that the latter had rather incurred the difplaafure ofother Com menders for his alliance to the French.l The Itrienefs of the Police at Calais has with in thefe few days 'fumed a degree of rigour and increafed a&ivity. No patents's froth E ngland are permitted to land, till an order to that et c& is obtained from the Commitary. A Centinel is placed on the n ay to fee this order peremp torily enforced. - Every haute has been vifited by Meffengers from the Police Office, for the pur port of calcium down the name of every Englith inmate. Two gentlemen, who arrived on Friday Tall without having taken the precaution to furnith themfelves with paffports, were compelled to re turn to England by the evening tide, under the penalty of being confined in the Citadel, if they flopped one moment after the failing of the Pac ket. Formerly, fuch Gentlemen as neglected to provide themfelves with paffports from M. OTTO, had an opportunity of repairing their error, and procuring a paffport from the Commiffary at Ca lais, by giving a proper account of themfelves, and getting a perfon to vouch for them. Now nothing of the kind is allowed. The caufe of this increaC. ed rigoor is varioufly accounted for ; tome will have it that the two Governments are in fearch of certain perfons, who have been guilty of crimes of aggravated atrocity, and who are fufpeEted of en deavouring to elude the vigilance of Goveriunent, by efcaping to foreign countries. Lan night a dreadful accident happened at the houfe of Mr. Rulell, baker, in Fleur-de-lute court, Fleet-greet -.The family went out on Come bull- nefs, leaving only two female children in the houfe, who fat on a table in the parlour, by a window that looked into the Sop, and amufed themfclves by combing and dreffing each other's hair ; the candle being placed on the fame table, nne of the children, named Betfey Holmes, being in the very ad of walking at the time, happened to throw it down, when it unfortunately fell on a Nall quantity of gunpowder, tied np very hard, about the faze of a turkey's egg , which went off with a terrible explofion, and ttered the child's hand and face in a molt dreadful manner. The other child, which fat down received no farther hurt than th e f r i g h t ; b ut i n pu lhiug the door open to run out, fhc cut her arms a little with the ears.' The window that looked from :he parlour into the (bop had almoft every pane broken from the (hock. There is a piece of the flefh that was torn off . the child's arm Mick fall to the wainfcot, where it yet remains, in cafe of the child's death, that it may be feen by the Coroner's Jury. The child was carried to the hofpital with very little hopes of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. /WHAM RACE& Though expetßation was not railed by the fame of the horfes entered, the field was covered by a fine !hew of company, confining of all the Nobility and Gentry in the neighbourhood of Windfor t En glefield, Staines, &c. together with crowds from the metropolis, in coaches, chaifes, gigs, currides, &c. The day was remarkably fine, and cooler than for Come time paR, and there was abundant amufement, though not of the kind to engage the amateurs of the turf. The Rands were well filled, and the booths were crowded. The female part of the company made a moR captivating difplay, both in drefs and beauty. There was confiderable (porting on the Magna Charta Stakes. TUISDAY, SLPTIMIIR 7. The Noblemen and Gentlemen's Plate of sol. free for all ages ; the bell of three 4 mile heats. Mr. Durand's ch.

As the company had paid twd shillings each perfon for admiffion, the keeper of the Hotel propofed a dance in the Long Room, which was immediately acceded to by the company. A band of mu& was loon provided, and about nine Mr. Term and the accompliihed Mifs BROWN opened the ball with Sped she Phi l o. About a dozen couple followed.

The rain fell in torrents, attended by thunder and lightning. The ftorm continued above an hour. BRIGHTON, SEPT &MAU 6. Mr. Cowcaawow, and (even more Gentlemen, engiged the Bonaparte packet, and failed for Dieppe laft night. There was a *public breakfaft this day, at ths Promenade Grove ; but as the Pa n ics is abfent, the company was not fo fplendid or numerous as is ufual in this charming place. The promenade on the Steyne, yefterday even ing, prefented a ludicrous affemblage of peers and pick-pockets, counteffes and cook maids, baronets and bar-wenches, ecclefiaftics and shepherds, lac quies, milliners, grooms, and demi-reps, beyond all precedent or calculation. This heterogeneous mafs, elbowed and jollied each other, without re- Sard to fez, age or quality; it was a (pecks of abbath faturnalia, when every thing had the pri vilege to be rude with impunity. Lady Araseca has arrived. There will be a rural gala on Thurfday next, under the patronage of the PROM/ of Wm.'s, ' called A Day at Brighton. The Proprietor of the Gardens will give a filver cup, of fifteen pounds value, to be run for by po nies, on the race hill. The diverfion will be pre ceded by a public breakfaft. The Porss had their benefit on Saturday even ing, and made their &vizi for this feafon, to a Brighton audience. The play was 7Le Voice of Nature. A melancholy event occurred in this neighbour hood left Friday.—As Mr. OTTO, junior, of the Royal Crefeent ; Mr. CouLsos ; Mr. Su stoma), junior; and a young Gentleman, of the name of EDWARDS, nephew of BRYAN EDWARDS, Efq. went on a party to (hoot, near Hand Crofs, young Mr. EDWARDS was unfortunately (hot. The acci dent happened while the parties were eagerly croff ing a gate, to get into a field where the dogs were letting. The (hot broke two of the ribs on his right fide, and perforated the aorta, which eaufed his immediate death. The body was taken to the inn, at Hand Crofs, where the Coroner fat, with a Jury, on the enftsing day, and brought in their ___ At fa It • 1 ._1 .1 s. This is a day of reft to the votaries of pleafure, and, in fail, reft is required by all deteriptions in this town. Our Jubilee engages us from morning till night, and from night till morning. Tetlerday morning the main battle of Cocking, between Lord DIRBY and Mr. Cayss, of Chorley, far zoo guineas,, was finithed, m the Cockpit, when Lord DIRBY carried the game by a con& derable number. The Weather proving extrenoely wet, there was itot a very great thew on the race ground yeller day. The race was confidered as a dead bufinefs. Mr. CLirron's Lancafter, that walked over the courfe on Friday, carried the race with the greate cafe; he could have diftanced all the others half a mile, if there had been oectfion for it, although he was confiderably heavier than any of the other horfes. Our races have not been what we could have walled, confidering it is our Jubilee. It is not, however, oar regular time for races, as we are furrounded by thofe of York, Doncafter, Richmond, and various other places; and this has prevented us making fuch a good thew of horfes at the Guild as we do at our common races. The Guild, likewife, happens at a bad time for the Cocking, as the cocks are now moulting, which makes them extremely wea'. We are lorry' to fay, the infamous gang of Lon don pick pockets have been too fuccefsful in their depredations : a gentleman, on Friday, loft his pocket book, containing notes to the amount of 901. and a lady a gold watch. Laft night was acted at the Theate, Folly as it Thee. Tom Tick was very refpedtably fuftained.— In the fponging bottle, when he was fitting very melancholy, fume of the fcenery fell nearly on his head, it did not difcompnfe him. The audience expreffcd fame difapprobation. The tat fpeech made to him by the Badilj; was—" What makes you fo caft down, Mr. Tick P" to which Mr. Cril put in an extempore reply, of—" Well enough I may be call down, when the houfe is tumbling about my ears," which was fo well delivered as to turn the difapprobation into burns of laughter for a conaderable time. The Entertainment was The Agreeable Su:prize. • The following are the receipts of the houfe dnr ing• laft week c—Monday 861. Tuefday 2201.- Wednefday 851. Thurfday 2351. Friday 601. The nights of the thort receipts there were balls at the Halls, it which there were from 800 to ►oc.o per. Cons. On Friday, the fhortea, there was not only a ball, but it poured with rain the whole evening. On Tnefday and Thurfday nights the prefliire was fo extremely great at opening the doors, that numbers were carried in without being able to pay; but to.their honour be it fpoken, numbers have fine fent their money, to the amount of be tween ten and twenty pounds.
