The death of Lady I-Jou:mums! occafions a vacancy among the Lachei of the Bed-Chamber. The (../EIN and PRINCESSES always !hewed her Ladyiblp the greaten regard. The complaint of the late Countefs of HOLDER. N asse,whofe death was announced in our Mortuary Lift of yefterday, was a cancer in the mouth, which had deftroyed the upper jaw and part of the tongue. The original caufe of this dreadful malady was a cancer in the left breaft, which had increafed to fuch to ;darning degree, as to render amputation neceffary ; that operation took place about two ye..rs ago, fince which period her Ladythip appa rently recovered, when unhappily the diforder again broke out in the mouth, and daily increafed until life became a burthen. After experiencing the moft excruciating torture, the diforder became fatal, and terminated her exiltence. COVE/IT-GAR DEN.—Laft night the play of Spred the Plough, was fubflituted at Covent-Garden fur the Opera of ilmaxerxel, Mrs. BI L LIN GTON being indifpored with a cold ; bills were handed round to apprize the public of the change. DR ir-LAN I.—An apology was la ft night made for the abfence of Mifs Port, who is indifoofed, and Mrs. SPARER undertook the charadcr of the Widow Racket, in The Belle': Stratagem, at a very Ilion no tice. She performed it with very great ability. REYNOLDS ' new Comedy has been read in the Green-room of Covent-garden Theatre, and will be immediately put into rehearfal. It com bines, in the call of its charaflers, all the comic ftrength of the Houle, except FawcaTr. The Author of the new Play thinks he pct the Lawyer's integrity fufficiently to the tell by mak ing him refufe to commit adultery. Would it not be a better tell to tempt him with atm from both parties? It has often been Paid that a cat has nine lives; this has been, in fome meafure, verified on board a fhip called the Amazon, of Howslen Dock, late ly arrived from Peterfburgli, with hemp : a cat had got into the hold among the hemp, and could not be got out again without partly unloading the (hip ; and the crew aditally heard her cries for twelve days, before the died. Some of the young Gentlemen of Wellminfter. fchool having left week been addrefted with the infulting appellation of treaeher-cap, by an inhabi tant of one of the fircets adjacent to their premifes, took a fummary vengeance on the offender, by flogging him. The man made a complaint to the matter, Dr. VINCENT, declaring, at the fame time, that he would leek recirefs at law from the princi pal offender. The mailer, withing to keep peace with all his neighbours, and zealous for the pre fervation of the difcipline of the fchool, prepared' to inflid corporal chaftifement. The ftucknts had not lived In near Weftminfter-hall to no purpofe ; they remonftrated that it it was unjuft that any perfon fliould be punifhed twice for the fame of fence.—The matter perfifted in his refolution, and the (Indents prepared to rebel. Accordingly, on Friday morning, after throw ing fome books on the head matter's table as a fignal of revolt, they marched out of fchool in a body, broke the windows of Dr. WING; If S. D, the fecond mailer, and abfented themfelves from all duty for the hole of that day; but, on the next day, refled:oa, and the advice of their friends, had already convinced them of their folly t the culprits returned, repentant and fubmiffive. The principal offender, he who had been moll a4flive in flogging the man, yielded himfelf to pu niffiment ; and the principal inftigator of the re bellion (a near relation a - die kith Chancellor of the Exchequer), was fenteneed to expulfion. (tnetnefs is now entirely reitored,and the turbu lent children, have, for henceforth, renounced -all prat eras, except thole of Terms, previous to their vacctaces. C•IIN WRYtit& The Wheat trade at Mark-Lane, this morning, was brifker than on M6nday, and we think about 3i. higher—good Malting Barley finds a more ready fale at a (mall advance—Oats, and both old and new Beans, are exceeding heavy articles, and incline downwards. Malt and Rye are without alteration, in price.—Hog Peas are about is. high er, but Boilers are certainly near 3s. lower. Rape Seed is alfo cheaper: Flour, and other things, continue as per laft • advice. Englifh Wheat, 423. 58E. 695. per quarter. Foreign Ditto, 345. 665. Fine Dantzic Wheat, 725. Rye, 335. 375.

At Leicaer, wheat has fallen about Bs. per quarter ; oats 3s. and barley as.—At Wifbeach, the average is 83s. 4d. being Bd. cheaper.

At Honiton, on Saturday morning, elleere was fold in the market one-third let's than the preced ing market day. It fell from a guima and a half the hundred weight to one guinea. From Exeter we learn that ca!tle :;;as fallen twenty per Cell- and purk per pound. At Hull Fair, on Monday morning, the thew of foals was comparatively final The file of the other cattle was very dull, in confequence of the high ptices afked, and the general expectation of a great rcduaion. A letter from Briflol Pays—" It gave us more than ordinary pleafure to ohferve in our market on Thurfday, a greater number of cattle and fheep espied for tale, than we have fern there on one day for many years pall : and we ate to learn too, that a material reduaion took place in the price of them, as well as of hogs, of which there was alfis an unttfual number." Blackheath Michaelmas Fair was held on Mon day. There was a good thew of cart-costs and draught horfes ; the pikes much on the decline : pigs, that four guinea' were asked for in the morn ings came down to tire: pounds and under, before the evening. Lean cattle, and all flock, kern much on the decline, as well there as at Uxbridge, on Tuefday ; and at Farmingham ( Ken!) yeller day. Many cal t•colts were left unfold, and are gone on for Maiddone Fair, in hopes of better prices. On Saturday lad, agreeable to public notice, the New Cattle Market of the city of Canteibury was opened for the reception of dock, &c. It rc. copies the entire (pace from S. George's to it;J. ing-gate ; the various Fens for the accommodation of the cattle arc judiciously difpofed there is :tlfo a very extended ride to thew the horfes, with foot paths fur fpeOators railed off, fo 35 to preclude any podibility of danger. The principal entrance, which fronts Dover-ilreet, comprifes a very hand -1 fome elevation, the toll.houfe on one fide, and a correfpondcnt building on the oppolite, for buyer and Idler, on the front of which are ;sliced tablets of the tolls and penalties. From thi.erincipal en trance to St. George's -greet is a bricked wall, cop ed with done, and formounted with an iron railing, giving a light and airy appearance, and (hewing at one view the extent of the market ; the lower part, beyond the toll-houfe, is railed off by a neat oak fence. • ----- - A few days agn, a carrot, 14 inches in circum ference, was taken up in a garden at Wakefield. The following is amongll other inftanccs of the extraordinary mildnefs of the feafon.—ln (mall garden behind a gentleman's houfe in Church• arect, Whitchaven, there is an apple•tree which has two or thice bloffonis upon it, and form buds, which fLem nearly ready for bur (king into leaf. - • R v.—Wednefday morning a fire broke out at the Prince of Orange, in Fieldgate•tt Feet, through the careleffnefs of a fervant, who was left in chlrr.e of the candles. The infide of the houfe was en: tirely burnt, and the fleepy fervant narrowly es caped the conflagrat ion, which was prevented from extending further through the vigilance of the JIM watchful neighbours. 'LAtf~ INTEL GL NCB. . . , HIGII COURT OF AD MIRA LY, DOCTORS eOlittvfONt. YejteTday, the Right Hon. Sir Wm Srpr-r pro ceed to the adjudication of the following (hips : Vrow Jacoba, Mein E. 1.5014, Matter.—This 14 was clainied by the Mailer as neutral pro perty, and the quertion in this cafe was, with re lpeel to his national charafter. It was contended on the part of the captors that he was a Dutch man by birth, that he had not diverted himfelf of his original Dutch charader, and therefore his property was liable to confifcation. On the part of thc claimant it appeared that he had been . admitted a burgher of Oldenburgh, and had eftablitheci there.—The Court pro nounced the reflitution of the (hip. The cargo belonging to the above fhip was re Bored the preceding day to the claimant, Mr. WHITE, on the ground of his having a licence granted him by this Government, permitting him to go to France and refide there. Negotie and Zeewart, DPCKSON, Marten This thip was claimed as neutral property, but the Court was of opinion that it was Dutch property; that the transfer was f..lfe and colourable, and that the tale of the (hip was mere ftelion and nothing elfe. Brookmerlu 13arioN s, Mafter.--This fhip was condemned on the fame ground, of its being Dutch propel ty. Frau Catherina, Vos, Mafter.—This (hip was likewife condemned as Dutch property. Hoffnung, Maftcr.—ln this cafe it ap peared that the veirel was teixed by the captors and carried into Li(bon, where the remained a con fiderable time,and became very leaky,and notwith ftanding the proteft of the Mailer, the captors pro ceeded to tea without any repairs being done to the 'hip, and flue was Obliged to put in again in a fhat tered condition. The captors bad contented to reftitution in this cafe, but it was filbMitted to the Court on the part of the claimants, that they were intitled to height and demurrage for the long de tention of the veal], and alto the repairs. The Court referred it to the Regitter and Mer chants, to report what expellees had been incurred. Anna and Dorothy, --- MATTHEwsow, Maf. ter.—This was a cafe of a breach of blockade, but it appearing on thepart of the claimantsthatthefhip went into the blockaded port. on account of having flirting a leak, the Court refbored the fhip, being a opinion that the cargo was to be delivered to the deltaic(' port. The reafon of his Majefty's brig Hercrea, com manded by Captain foxes, hoarding the INDIAN CHIEF, Captain SsavicF, homeward-hound from the Pref.dency of Bengal, with a cargo of rice, was in confemience of her not anfwering the HtYl.l. . M.'s private fignah, which were repeatedly boil ed, till the HUNTF 2, imagining the Op to be an enemy, beiled the National Colours, in hopes of Isis Chace doing the fame ; and was at lalt obliged to bear clole down on the 'SDI AW Cuirr, to the ;neat panic of Al on board, who thought of no thing but being captured, when nearly in tight of her own liiores. The (aft is, the ISDIAM CH ILT had not env pirate fignals on board; conferpient ly was ignorant how to anCwer thole that were thewn to her. During the illuminations at Briflel, on Monday night, by the unpa:atonahle eoraltha of a fervant in quitting the beide entrulted t his care during his mallet's temporary ab!ence, the prernifes of Mr. Fear, hart:et-maker, in Marypert-Ilreet. were burnt to the ground, occalioned, k is fuppoted, by the li}elits letting tire to the window-franies. A fellow who h id a large cart at Enfield-wafh, on Monday tall, charged five 'billing a head for .tdmiffion into it to fee the boxing match. About twenty knowing-one: cheerfully paid their money, and on this, as filmetimes on other meal - lons, were completely taken in. On Tuefday a ynutate• man, the fon of a refpe,Ft able linen-draper in the Strand, went to the limp of a Banking-houle, and prefented a forged draft for vol. ; a gentleman in the fhnp, out of com patlion to the youth, refilled the draft twice ; but being again urged, the young man was defired to walk into the back Counting.holife, when, being told it was a forgery, lie inltantly drew out a three barrelled pidol, loaded with lugs, with which he attempted to shoot Lirnfelf, but was prevented.-- The young man is taken into cullody ; his family are greatly diareifed, and we conceal their name for the prefcnt, not walling to add to their afflic tion.
