MARGATE, SEPT. 28. The Duke and Duchefs of Maucturrsa, and a party of fallionables, went out yefterday morn ing on a cniife to the Downs. 'lle ball laft night was attended by about 200 perfons. Among the heft danstrs were Mrs. BR IS TOW, two Mils Caw N IS, Mlfs ToLsow, Mifs EMILY, &C. acc. The town begins to thin. This day the Britith Queen was laid up for the winter. The Duke of Wirt failed with a fair whid this morning with 63 paiengers on board. The carriage of the Counters of Jsktat ran over a young woman (a fervant), in Hawley fquare, yefterday, and. it is feared her life is in canger. • e Cricket-match, which was to have taken place yeaerday, is poftponed. Two fmall boys who were caught in the fad yellerday evening of fetting fire to a hay flack near St. Peter's, have been jolt committed to prifon.

The two liftf; time las, who were in the carriage with Mr. Tnostrsow, were exceedingly alarmed, they were taken into Garner's library.. A Prufian brig got on the Sands off this place yefterday. Several of our boats have gone out to er relief, and it is fuppofed they will be able lo get her off. The packet which arrived this morn sng brought down but thirteen paffengers, while that which went our took away nearly one hundred .—a vatt difproportion. But neither parties could add or diminith the fallionable circles, which fel. dnm experience any reduCtion until towards the middle of Oitober.

There is now growing in Mr. RICHAIDION% garden, near St. Attn's church, Liverpool, a jef famine tree, 4o feet high, and ;6 in breadth, co vering nearly the whole of the fouth and ea R fronts of the houfe.

Yellerday a Common Hall took place Guild ball, for the cheat* of a Lord. Mayor for the en . fuing year. Betwitt two and three o'clock the Lord Mayor, %.order, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, came upon 'the Wings, when the Hall was proclaimed. The Recorder, according to the ufual praaice, informed the Livery that.they had been convened for the purpole of eacrcifing the important privi lege of elating a Lord • Mayor. He knew that they would ezercfl'e this privilege with their cuf tomary difcretion, and although their choice was limited to a few, (till there was ample room for their judgment and difcrimination, and he had n" doubt that their fuffrages would fall where they were highly merited. The lift of the feveral Aldermen eligible to the office was then i cad. Mr. Alderman MACAULAY'S name was at the top of the lift, but very few bands were held ap in his favour. The Sheriffs then declared that the choice of the Livery had fallen upon Cilium!: PRICE, Efq. and JOHN PERRIN°, Efq.—( Loud lONA ) The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. then retired to the Council Room, in order to elect one of the two Candidates propofed by the Livery. Having returned, the Recorder announced to the Livery, that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen had proceeded to a fcrutiny, and that they had declared CHARLES Pates, Efq.Lord Mayor of the City of London'for the enfuing year.—( Loud and reiterated aManje.) The infiguia of office, the gold chain, was then put round Mr. Alderman Pieter's neck, and the worthy Alderman returned thanks to the Livery in *early the following terms :.14 Gentlemen, I feel highly flattered to have been chofen by you in the firit inftance, and that fatisfaaion I do afire you is greatly augmented when I find it confirmed by the particular approbation of my brother ma giftrates. I truft that in the high office to which I have been now called, I (hall experience that regard and attention which I have always met with on former occafions. I am fully that I am required to exert myfelf for the ge neral welfare of my' fellow citizens. I have not regarded the high and important Elation of chief magiftrate as the objet of private ambition, or individual honour ; I am aware that I am placed in it for . the bene fi t of the public in general, and that I am bound to confider only by what means I can heft promote the interels of the City of London. My worthy predecelfor is confpicut)us for great talents and abilities, and although I cannot hope to equal him, I (hall neverthelcis enter with confidence on the difcharge of the du ties of my office. I can fafely anfwer for the reaitude of my intentions, and I hope that I (hall uniformly receive advice from my brother magir crates, who are certainly molt competent to afford it. I alfo entertain the molt complete confidence that I than be favoured with the good will and affiftance of the Corporation in general, in order that I may difcharge the high duties of my office in a manner becoming the firft Magiftrate of the firft city in the world. " This addrefs was followed by great applaufe. The Livery next voted their thanks to the late Sheriffs, Kars. Itivnitis and Coax, for their conduit while in office. Mr. RAivt.tas then came forward to fay a few words in the name of his colleague and himfelf. The approbation their condua, while in office, had juft received, fhould make a kiting and deep impreffiorl on their minds. They had difcharged their duty with the belt ability they polreffed, and they bad the faxisfaaion to Date, that while they had been in office the prifons had' been pro perly c , ndufted. From the time they had been appointed, they had been folicitous that thole who fhould fucceed them fhould find none of the. rights and privileges of the office impaired by their neglea or mifcondudt. They had, there fore, endured circumftances of perfonal inconve nience and difratisftaion, rather than fuller thole rights and privileges to be diminifhed while in their cuftody. The General Eleaion coming on while they were in office, called for great exer tions, particularly the election for the County of Middlefcx. Upon that occafion they had availed themfelves of the belt advice the county could afford.. Their condudt had been entirely regula ted by the feveral Alts of Parliament, and the old laws and prattke refpeaing returns. He had only a few words to add. Peace had been reltored to England and to Europe while they ferved in office. He trufted that the King's Miniliers would prove that they underftood bow to value and appreciate the Peace, in order that the country might long continue to enjoy the bleffings refulting from it. The LOILD MAYOR then retired, and the meeting broke up. -The Underwriters of London have made Mr. LEIGH LYON, mate of the Otway, A prefent of a 4lver punch-bowl and ladle, value too guineas : it is elegantly ornamented with vine leaves and grapes, for his meritorious exertions in faving the 11)tway, when on Ihore in Bootle Bay.—The fol ' lowing infcription is engraven on the bowl : " Mr. Lttom LYON, mate of the Otway, having Paved the (hip when on Ihore in Bootle Bay, on the 111 day of September, 113 or, by his prefence of mind, (kill and exertions, the Underwriters of Lon- don ?relent him with this token of their efiimation of his condo& in fo eminently .difplaying thofe charaderifiie qualities of a Britilk Seaman." The Underwriters of Liverpool foie time fine made hini a prelcnt of a filvcr tankaid. Several publicans in Liverpool were lall week refukd having theirlicenees renewed, on account of thtir not having kept good order and regularity in their houfes.

I took the appearance of the illand at different bear. ings and difiances, and in honour of Captain SHANK, of the Royal Navy, I named it Shank's Hand. It is hilly, but the afcents are gradual, and it is covered with trees, among which might be diflingui(hed many of the cocoa nut. As I did not go on Chore, I cannot fay what may be the nature of the foil, nor furnilh you with any details on the fubjea. It is from North to South five or fix leagues; from Eall to Weft not quite fo much. I thould have obferved, that the latitude and longitude are computed from the centre of the ifland." The (hip Elizabeth, BENNAH, from St. Vincent to Liverpool, in 14114, having fprung a leak, making three feet water per hour, the night after leaving St. Vincent, and not being able to make Marttntque, was obliged to hear away for Jamaica, where (he arrived on the zd of Augull, and run on tLore at Port Maria, where file bilged l and was full of water.

All the cutting and mafoning between Lome-fide and Failfworth is let, and now execut ing ; and from the fpirited exertions that arc made by the condudlors of it,we may fairly prefume that the period is not far ditlant, whenthe public will receive the benefit of a complete communication between Mancheiter and Hull, by means of the Rochdale canal. Laft Tuefday morning a new brig, belonging to Hull, going down the top of the tide, ran aground on the bill, at Globe.ilairs, Rotherhit She heeled off in the night, by the bank breaking way to the ballail-hold, whereby fhe bilged, while the people were in the cabin afleep, when they were awakened by the water coming in to them.
