SOUTIMMPTOM SEPT. 9. It is not a little lingular, that whiff the trantic- , Lions at all the other watering places on the coaft are blazoned in the Newfpapers, this charming and falhionable fpot iltould be paired over in total filcnce ; we envy not, however, the good folks of Brighton and of Margate their dearly acquired motor iety : we have feleaion inftead of buftle, and cheatfill gaiety in the place of afi-race and in temperate merriment. The rational and the in valids, of both fetes, will not hefitate where to bellow their preference. BARRETT, the unfuccefsful Aeronaut, is about w try if the keen air of the Weill Mountains will be more favourable to him than the dente at mcdphere of the vicinity of the metropolis : on Thurfday fe'nnight he went over in the packet from Ilfracombe to Swanfea, from whence he in tends croffing the Briftol Channel in his Balloon the firft northerly wind. Mr. Nether is appointed Mayor of Dover. A good yaw for opening the door to France.

The !laughter of birds in Sofia has been lets 1 during the four firft days than ever was before known. The Lewes Rage-coach, which has ufu ally carried to London upwards of an hundred brace on the two firft days, did not this year carry more than a dozen birds ! This unprecedented •- deficiency is in Tome meafure attributable to the great quantity of corn yet abroad.

It appears the French papers that a con fi de- . nble degree jealoufy prevails betwixt the French i and Foglifh on the fubjee of drefs. The •Parifian DRUM age to be quite !hocked at the dddity of the Engli& faihions, and our fair coun trywomen in their turn are not lets amazed at the extravagance of the Parifran coftume. Both par- ties have taken up the matter warmly, and the *salts of the queftion are•very gravely difcuffed in their refpeeive Coteries. It is to be hnped that means will be found to adjuft this molt momentous affair in a friendly manner, and that the fair dif putants will learn to allow each other Tome degree of merit, without comprOmifing the good under landing of the two countries. The great fair of Beaugaire, in France, has been eondueed with lets diforder than attended our fairs of Camberwell and Peckham. Not a fingle . theft, robbery, fwindling trick, or quarrel of any "confequence took place at it. No fewer thin 2to veffels came up the Rhone, with goods to be ex pored to tale. Thefe were 4o more than came iaft -year; 113 of thefe were French, 57 Spanifh, 38 from Genoa, and two from Naples. In confequence of the peace, the purchafers from Spain were, this year, not near fo many as on the lift. The tales were, in general, languid, and difcouraging. DRIADIFOL ACCIDSNT.—A moll melancholy (cone was •on Tuefday night exhibited at OM a fmall town about two miles from Feverfharn : While the inhabitants were quietly engaged in their feveral occupations, little expecting danger, the moil tremendous explofion was experienced by the blowing up of the Powder Mill, fhaking .every houfe to the very foundation, doing much -damage to the buildings, and deftroying windows without number. " No certain caufe for the acci dent can be draped, as on thefe melancholy °c ations every perfon and thing is (wept away within a certain digitate, and no one left to give us the real caste. flo Coon as any one would ven ture near the (pot, it was difcovered that five poor fellows and two horfes bad loft their lives, their limbs being fcattered in .all direitions by the ex plofion. The names of thefe unfortunate men were, Wight, Coveney, Hafting:, Taylor, and Thirfton, all w or k men i n t h e Mill: they have left large families. On a Wither fearch another poor creature wits found, named Symonds, Rill alive, but dreadfully torn and Mangled. Inilant care was taken of him, and ever/ means ufed to get from him the caufe of the accident; but be was unable to_ utter a word, and died in about an hour and a half.— The general opinion is, that the ;Finding machine was going with too much velocity, and that the wheels had in conference taken fire. Some peculiar circumftances on this oecafion are worthy of notice. The Gentleman who eon dugs the bufinefs, had left the door of the Mill only two minutes before the explofion, and thus trcaped death ; and "floor fellow had only that ainatli lOW into din Ma and was darned: i hurioN, skit. i. A genteel comptny affembled at the Theatre by about eleven, to hear a grand *mining concert, which was performed in * temporary orcheftra, etched on the Stage. The concert commenced with one of Hatt:nes grand overtures. The different vocal Performert acquitted themfelves very refpeaably. Although the Concert was extremely well con dated and performed, yet at times many of the audience being worn out for want of reit, occa fionally enjoyed a retreating nod. After the Concert, Nice°Las GRINSHAIIi t Efq. the Mayor, entertained a large party in the Guild Hall, with a molt fumptuons dinner, and as uibal, it was ferved up in th e gr e a t e ft ftyle, with every delicacy the feafon affords. In the evening, at half pail (even, pithlic • drefs promenade was appoint e d t o take place in both the Halls, and when thk time arrived the Ladies were at their polls. The promenade was carried on in the ufual Ryle of fuch matters. Be tween nine and ten o'clock feveral hundreds were ambled in the Halls, and they were not fo tired but they could dance till a very late or rather early hour. Follj► as It Fate, and'the Children, in the Wed were ailed at the Theatre for the benefit of Mr. Si ODOM s. A number of opulent families are Roinan Ca tholics in this town. Several of their Ladies walked innhe proceffion, and when they approach ed the Church they retired from the proceffion into houfes near the Church, and waited till it re turned, the Prieß having refufed them the indul gence of entering the Temple of. Heretics MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 9. The prevalence of a report here fince the com mencement of the feafon, that the Little-go Bill," which put a flop to the old favout ite amufe ment of rafting at the libraries was enadted through the influence of the Proprietors of the Theatres of Margate, Brighton, &c. and the ferious injury which this report has dope the Theatre, has in duced the Proprietors to publifh an addrefs, in contradiaion to what, in fa& no rational perfon could have ever believed, but which has made confiderable imprefflon on the light and credulous vifitors of Margate, many of whom would, no doubt, prefer rafting for a fpy-glafs or a pin -cafe, to the bell performances of KEKILS or Mrs. SID 60113 e This much talked of Bill is now generally attributed to Mr. G. Ross, who was dawn here with his family laft feafon, and who was frequent ly heard, in very hong terms, to exprefs hit dif approbation of raffling and to praaites conneeed with it. Sir EDWARD HALES, the principal of dne of the firft Catholic families in England, died fome days fince, and was interred with great funeral pomp in his own Chapel at St. Stephens, near this too n: The waiter at the ShAtefpeare is now► able to officiate in the honfe, and the furgeuns have there fore at length pronounced him out of danger. A certificate has been fent to the Mayor of Dover to liberate the Cons of Thefpis upon bail. RAMSGATE, SEPT. zo. The company at this place are now enying a new fpecies of entertainment. A y oung Lady ex hibits her expertnefs in fwimming, and great num- I ben of perfons retort to the fliore to wttnefs her manoeuvres. She dives, floats, and ducks, and produces her fair form in fuch a variety of atti tudes, as cannot fail to aftonith the wondering fpeaators of both tuxes. Some Gentlemen, we hear, have it in contemplation to fwim up to her, and infpea more accurately her movements, and to profit by her inftruaions in the polite art of fwirnming. Every. feafon the celebrity of this charming place increafes, and no better evidence of the fast is neceffary, than a review of the numberkfs im. provements which are going on. The Pier, which is in itfelf a fource of never failing attraition, has this year to boa(! of additional advantages. A Marine Pavilion is building, upon the fame plan as that belonging to the PRINCE at Brighton, but not on fo extcnfive a fcale. It is now nearly com pleted, and forms a beautiful finals to the general outline, being fituated to the right of the Lodge, at the entrance from the High.ilreet. This elegant building is intended for the ufe of the Truitees, who frequently meet here to infpea the workmen, &c. Among the other additions to the Pier. a new Quay is building for the hoys, colliers, and other vabis. to unload, an undertaking very advan tageous to the general interefls of the refidents. Ramfgate is at this time crowded with genteel company. Houfes and lodgings are more (cares if poffible than at Margate. The Cliffs, as ufual, are retorted to by perfons of diainaion ; but the rents of houfes there are not fo exceffi l ie as might have been expected. In Chatham Place, are their Graces of Day.on.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 7: . - On Thurfday his Excellency Earl H4RDWICKI arrived in Carrick : on-Snit, on his way to Curragh mbre.On his entranie into the formsr.place the inhabittints unharnelled the horfes stud drew him ofitfide the town: A deputation of the Gentlemen of Waterford waited on him on Friday, to requea the honour or his company on Sunday at dinner at the New Rooms. His Excellency the LOIM Ltsuranxtri is not expeCted to return from his fouthern excurfion, until the aith infant. This day, the Recorder fat in the City Court at the Setllons-honfe, for the trial or prifoners. Yellerday the races commenced at the Curragh. The weather anfwered tolerably well for the fport. A number of Gentlemen of fortune and confe quence, have, we hear, formed a Club, to be fup ported by annual fubfcription, to revive the game of,Tennis in the city, in the old Tennis•court, ToWnihend-lireet,•lately the King's Inns Dining- Hall: The lots for building the eaft fide of W'eftmor, land-ftreet, were fold on Wednefday at from 36 to 388. the foot. The corner one next College (freer, was purchafed by Mr. TooLs, of Kevin ftreet, nurferymat► and gardener. When this ftreet is halted, the avenues to each end of Car lifle-bridge will exceed any thing of the kind in Europe. On Friday night laft, Mr. HATCH, chief peace officer, and party of the watch, apprehended nine fulpieious ruffians, at a rendezvous, who are fuppufed to have been concerned in fome of the recent robberies. • Three of the military, who were rioting in the greet on Sunday night, in St. Andrew's pariih, were feized by Mr. Horca, the chief Peace•offi cer, and a party of the watch, and lodged in St. Andrew's watch-houfe. Their officers interfering tor them, and promifing to inflia proper punifh ment for their improper coodua, the mcw - were given up to them. Lail week, a buthsck belonging to Lord Pow! RS. COURT, was carried down the waterfall upon his eftate, either by the flood, or going too near the precipice, and met with immediate death. A melancholy event lately occurred at Cork.— Lieutenant &swum, of the 82d Regiment, which had arrived lately from Minorca, and was per forming quarantine in Cork harbour, on the day before the expiration of the quarantine, as he was quitting his chip to dine on board one of the men of war of the convoy, alfo on quarantine, at an elegant entertainment given by the Navy Officers to the 82d Regiment, fell down on the deck and inftantly expired. He was a Gentleman of confi derable fortune and molt polithed manners, and is s moft univerfally and deeply regretted by his brother Officers. He diftinguilhed himfelf much at Minorca,. where he was Manager of the Mili• tary Theatre, and where his talents for the ftage had acquire d the name of the Secoad.Ropar.— What added to the melancholy event was, that Mrs. BARRON, his only furviving parent, had ar rived that very morning exprefs from London, to receive her fon after an abfence of fever years.— Her feelidgs may be better imagined thin de fcribed. That beautifulßalletDance of Zamor and Zamora, compofed by Mr. BYRNE, and which is found to yield In ftrong a gratification at the Royal Circus, will be performed, we find, every evening the en fuing week. Situations of more intereft or a greater difplay of taste have certainly never attended a Ballet. gance ; and the truly fine Rile, and great execution of Mr. BYRNR in Zamor, accompanied by the admirable dancing of Mifs ADAMS in Za• mora, with Mailer Brews in Zorai the Peruvian boy, whofe dancing and alion can never be fuffi ciently extolled for one fo very young, joined to the fine and impreflive mufic. of the late Signor Boss:, and the Overture by Mr. WARE, atria in caufing every evening audiences which are truly overflowing. The alterations which have lately taken place in St. Clement's Chur -yard have ' with many others, removed from th üblic eye the following Epi taphlto of the late .

Au act:Kers—Dr. Mou HUY was many years Phy fician to Chelfea Hofpital. He lived fo long in his office of Phyfician to the Hofpital, that, during many changes in Adminiftration, the reverfion of the place had been promifed to feveral of the Medi. cal Friendsof thedifferent Paymafters of the Forces. Looking out of his window one day, the Doaor fawn gentleman examining the houfe and gardens, who, he knew, had juft got a reverfion of the place : he therefore came out, and thus accofted him—" Well, Sir, I fee you are examining your houfe and gardens that are to he; and I will afilire you they are both very pleafant and very conveni ent ; but I muft tell you one circumftance—you are thefifth awns that has had the reverfion of the place, and I have buried them all 1 And, what is more (laid the Donor looking very fcientifically at him) there is fomething in your face. that tells me, I (hall bury you too."—The event juftified the Doftor's prediaion, as the Gentleman died a few Fears after: at the time of the, DoCtor's death, no perfon had the promife of the reverfion.

Molefworth, who, notwithftanding the violence of the tide, immediately leaped in with his clothes on, and refcued Mr. S. from a watery grave.-- Much praife is due to Mr. Ed. Molefworth for the manly and humane exertions, by which he, about two years ago, faved the life of another man in the fame perilous fituation. MUTINY.—Laft Sunday arrived in C.awfand- Bay the Thomas, Guineaman, Captain MARTIN. In the afternoon, the Captain went on fhore to procure frefh beef and vegetables : while Arent, fix of the failors (lately paid off from a man of war) being rather in liquor, refilled to furl the fails, or go aloft, on which Mr. Scorn, Chief Mate, remonftrated. Fup and Arthur; two of the ringleaders, and inoft active in the mutiny, with the others, rufhed aft, knocked down Mr. Scorn,- and ufed him very roughly indeed, till refcued by the 'better difpofed part of the crew.— During the mutiny, Captain MARTIN came on board, and ordered them to their duty, which they refilled, and Fup gave the Captain fo vio lent a hlovi“ on his neck, as brought him to the ground ; on this they kicked him as he lay fenfc refs. The Mate being on the forecaille, hailed la VINTURIERE, of tit guns, lying abreaft of the Thomas, when- a boat well manned and armed with Royal Marines, with a Midthipman, pufhed off and got alongfide the Thomas, when the mu tineers took flint and axes, and (wore they woul.l fink the boat before any marine fhould come on board the fhip, fwearing they would have their blood for (upper, and that of their Captain and his Mate. By this time the Royal Marines, and a young Midfhipman rufhed up the fide, ho,oded, and charged bayonets on the mutineers, who were foon overpowered, handcuffed, and fent on board the flag-fhip in Hamoaze, and put in irons for the night, but !till behaved very diforderly and / Hit nts.
