A large party of respectable Gentlemen dined at Bear fen, Esher, yesterday, in commemoration the Battle 01 Trafalgar. The healths of Prince , ruts and the Princess CHARLOTTE were drank. Tuesday, about thirty Gentlemen of the Parish of Mary.labonne, celebrated the Twelfth Anniver. of the Battle of Tralaligar, by dining together the White Kin Tavern, Ar igmorestreet, Caren. h square. The room was fitted up for the ones ,in the most tasteful manner. A fine portrait of e immortal.NELsolf graced the upper end of the m, butfounded with wreathes of laurel ; and at e other to.tl the Standard of England waved grace lly, in die midst of emblems of victory and peace. le dinner was excellent, including a profusion of ame—a present to the company from the Most oble the Marquis of I-Jahr/cam After the cloth as removed, the following toasts were given:— The King," three times three. " The Prince Re em," three times three ; loud and reiterated plaudits. • The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family," lure times three ; and a number of other toasts, qually expressive of the loyalty of the company.— ' number of songs were sung, and the evening was •assed with the utmost harmony and good humour ; a 111 r co mpany separated about eleven o'clock, iighly d.liglited,with their entertainment. i rte Yarmouth stage coach, on its way from Lon. was, by grime accident, overturned on Friday I 'veiling last, near Chelmsford, by which a female anode passenger was so dreadfully hurt, that little 'hopes ate entertained of het recovery. Several other passengers were severely braised, but not dangerously. Saturday se'imight a melancholy catastrophe hap pened at Ballindean, the seat of Sir D. WEDDIttr MAW, Bart :—While his servants were collecting a part of the crop into the stack-yird, two of the carts met very unexpectedly in a narrow defile, and, on passing, one of the drivers was so squeezed by_ the wheels, that he expired in less than half an hour. It was Miss MAle HARVEY, second daughter of Mr. Mulvey, Gunpowder-maker, late of Battle, who was ou a visit to a friend in Edinburgh, who has been anfortunatelyburnt to death, as lately mentioned in this Paper. She bad been unwell for some times and, on being supplied with a candle early in the evening of the 16th instant, said she would : Milne herself on the bed; and, to airbus* herself; it W conjectured, bad taken a book, when it is supposed she unhappily fell asleep, and the candle having fallen set fire to her clothes. Medical assistance was instantly procured, but it proved of no avail, as the usfortunate Lady was se dreadfully burnt that she died the same night at ten o'clock, in a date of the greatest agont, having unwired only about three hours. Her loss will be sincerely lamented. This melancholy and fatal ac cident should operate as a serious lesson to those in the habit of reading in bed by candle-light, as well as to attendants on sick persons.

Her &&oyal Highness has occasionally suffered a' little from head-ache, tuned, perhaps, from too great fullness, for which it has been necessary, at different times, to abstract blood. On one occasion her Royal Highness submitted to four incisions in the arm with out effect, in consequence of the veins being very deeply buried. On a consultation of the Physicians and Surgeons, it was deemed improper to make any further attempts, and the blood was ordered to he drawn from a vein at the back of the hand, where the operation has several times been succes.fully per ' fqmed by Mr. bIEvILLE, with great raid to her Royal Highness. This afternoon the Princess CHARLOTTE is not so well as usual, having to undergo the abstraction of more blood, by the direction of Sir R. Cnorr. Yesterday afternoon the Archbishop of CANTER- DuRY visited their Royal and Serene Higlinesscs. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. This morning, at nine o'clock, the Princess CHAR Lorre rose in the enjoyment of very good health.— At ten o'clock her Royal Highness breakfasted with her beloved PitINCE. The weather here during the night and this morn ing has been very foggy and damp, occasioned by the continued rains which fell during yesterday.— At eleven o'clock the fog began to disappear; by twelve it cleared up, and it was remarkably fine for the season of the year, scarcely a breath of air to be felt. The favourable state of the weather induced the Princess CHARLOTTE to leave the house to walk in the pleasure grounds, park, itc. Her Royal High- ness occasionally rode in her garden chair, and priV ceeded to the garden to view the improvements that are making there, under her Royal Highness's ar rangement and direction. The PRINCESS remained out about an hour and a half, and during the time her Royal Highness was accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince of SAIL CUROHRO. PREPARATION FOR THE ROYAL INFANT. The young woman, who is to be wet nurse to the expected Royal Infant, obtained the appointment by the account she gave of herself in a letter to Sir RICHARD CROFT, written with so much simplicity, yet with so much communication of the particulars, which would naturally be required, that Sir RICHARD, immediately sent for her. From his house she was directed to another, where several of the medical ad visers of the Royal Family had formed a sort of Board for her examination. After she had answered several questions, the.medical Gentlemen began to converse in French. It happened that she had a knowledge of the language, and, as she supposed it to be intended that she should not understand their conversation, she had the ingenuousness and the modesty to say, that, perhaps, she had better withdraw, as French was not unknown to her. On her return, she was informed, that the Board would recommend her for the. office she solicited, if they were satisfied with the appearance of her children. She has three, and these were subsequently examined. Soon afterwards she received a message from the Princess CHARLOTTE, desiring to see her and her Children. On her attend. ance at Claremont, the Princess and Prince Lnosoes passed three hours in the room with her and her cis& dreg, to the latter of whom the Princess gave abea dance of sweetmeats. Prince Leopow took one of them upon his knee, and said, 44 Well, you wag I shall probably be much better acquainted." We need not add, that the young woman was charmed with suet condescension and affability. She was then near her own confinement, and the Princess told her, that she should be well accommodated, at Clara moat, if she chose to stay, but that it was wished she should do exactly as she pleased. She candidly said that she should prefer returning to her husband's house. There she, in some days, became the mother of a hearty boy, concerning whom and herself eaqui. ries have been daily made from Claremont. It has been before said, that this young woman is the wife of a respectable yeoman near Claremont.— The appointment is no slight acquisition. What the whole recompense is, in case of the birth of a Prim ass, we have not learned; but, in case of a Prince, it is £1,500, and £2OO a-year. The wife of a re spectable Attorney, having been wet•nurse to Prin cess CHARLOTTE, has now £lOO a-year, and her son is a Lieutenant in the Navy. It is not thought that the . Poxes Ritorarr will go shortly to Sudbourn Hall. Lord YARMOUTH and Lord LOWTHER Sit OUt last week for an excursion to Paid. The Duke and Duchess of NORTHIOIIIIMAND have left their seat.

I3n!GLfroN, 00011 ER 21. The weather to-day has been much less cool than yesterday, but more bright. The wind from the North shifted to the East. '1 he Iteoarcr passed pact of the morning in examining the Palace improvements.— l'owards two o'clock the REGENT was again on horseback, pursuing the same route as yesterday, affably returning the affectionate and numerous saki cations of the people in hif progress, He returned to the Pavilion between four and five o'clock. It sppears to be the present intention of his Royal High 4CSS the PRINCE REGENT to leave this place for Carl ton House on Friday. . The Subscription Pack of Harriers threw off to a numerous field of sportsmen, near Patcham, yester• Jay. One hare, of lour killed, brought the hounds into the North part of the Town, between two and thtee o'clock, which was eventually ran in upon near about a mile and a hall westward. The Earl and Countess CaAyes were at Malta on the 20th of August, residing in a country house, five miles from St. Antonio, which had been lent them b, Sir THOMAS MAITLAND. This, having formerly be longed to the Grand Master, is now a Government house. His Lordship sailed from Ancooo to Corfu, thence to Zante, and from Zante to Malta. One of the children had been ill from the excessive heat of the climate, but was recovering. in the better air of their residence. The Earl and Countess propiised to be 41 Naples in October, to go froth there to Leg hot n, and so to Florence, where they would probably remain some time. la July nest they intend to re turn home. At a lAte meeting of the inhabitants of Carnaivon, and the other parishioners of Llanbeldig, it was una nimously resolved to enter a covets: against the nomi nation of the Rev. Mr. TREVOR to the vicarage of that parish, on account of the Reverend Gentleman not understanding the Welch Langage, which is the language of the majority of the parishioners. At Leicester fair, whilst the business in the mot.. ning was heavy anddilatory, a pickpocket varied the scene a Fade, by shewing the cheesetactors how to be towuported withovt,delay. Having made free with a Gentleman's pocket-book. the fellow was apprehen• ded, taken before the Magistrates, and committed ; and as the Sessions was held that day, he was tile.' before Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, convicted, and sen tenced to 14 years transportation, all within an hour and an half from the time of the theft ! A covey of partridges entered Doncaster last week, and ran down Hallgate, when four of them were taken alive. _ _ A piney, the property of Mrs. HOLT, Churton near Chester, died lately, at the advanced age t,l fort y• four years. TROTTING iIiATCH.MI. WHEALE, of Poplar. un dertook, a few days since, for a wager of ten guineas, that his son, only seven years of age, should trot his pony five miles in half an hour. Yesterday morning was the time fixed upon, and the juvenile sportsman, with great skill, went the ground in 28 minutes on the Barking mad, consequently winning the wager. PUGILISM EXTRAORLUNART.—Tuesday afternoon a dreadful battle was fought on Kennington Common, opposite the Horns, between two amazons of the names of Sarah Armstrong, wife to a coal-heaver, and Molly Cox, beuer known by the name of Thump ing Mary, wife to a bargeman from Wandsworth, for a wager of two guineas. These brave amazons were seconded by their husbands. A very great concourse of spectators were assembleJ to witness this exhibition. The ring being formed, they set-to with much spirit, and fought fifteen rounds with the greatest fury ; many dreadful blows were given and received on both sides. On the sixteenth round Molly was so completely beaten, that she was reluctantly obliged to give in, and all the parties retired to the Horns, where they spent the evening as happy as beer, gin, and tobacco, could make them. AozsrMltar. —CAUTION TO Fanstens.—lthas long been a mistaken, though almost-universally-enter. tained opinion, in the grazing district of Yorkshire, that cattle taken in by way of agistment were not subject - tn be distrained upon for rent, any farther than for what is called their tooth, or keeping. How ever hard it may appear that the property of a third and disinterested person should be sold to pay the rent of a tenant, the law adjudges, that distress for rent sofy be taken of all goods and chattels found on the premises; and on Thursday, the 9th instant, a considerable quantity of cattle, sent for agistment,' were sold under distress,. by auction, in the neigh ' bonrhood of Skipton, and by the authority of the Ma gistrates. SINGULAR INCIDENT.—One of the most extraordi nary instances of good fortune that perhaps ever oc curred to any humeri being. has fallen to the lot of a young gentleman, now about eighteen years of age, the sow of a respectable farmer in the vicinity of New market.—ln travelling, more than eighteen months since, from his father's house, in the county of Cam bridge. towards Shrewsbury, he accidentally met with an eiderly gentleman in the stage coach, to whom he was entirely unknown, but who was so •uch pleased with his company,. that before they parted at Shrewsbury (where the gentleman residid). kir told the youth that he had long been looking for person to whom he might leave his fortune, and that be was the object of his election. The gentleman then gave bim a general invitation to his house, where ,fie was always treated with the greatest respect, and introduced to the best society of the place for more than a year, and had a horse and servant kept fur him whilst be remained at school, which he continued ',ado till very recently. The gentleman being takes extremely ill within these icy weeks, sent for the youth, and repeated his former intimation of giving him all his property. Accordingly he caused a free sift of his immense wealth to belegally made out, oaly stipulating, that in case he survived, the youth should handsomely provide for film during the con litivance of his life. He, however, died a short time after he had signed ; the deed, in which it has been sfi:covered that he possessed more than AMMO sterling 1 What is very remarkable, the youth, as we are ink!, never communicated any of the circum stances to his family, until after the decease of the gentleman (who is said to have Bien a We st Indian ) fearing, probably, to raise expectations that might - never be realized. Since the event, however, we have great pleasure in relating, that thl.: youth's filial and fraternal affection has been most honourably evinced, by •his baying voluntarily given 0350,0v0 eacji to his father and elder brother 21/E4irtiSS. CIWENT tmrtitsr.--The Play of the Stranger *al performed at this Theatre last evening. Mini O'Neal. played Mrs. lialkr, and exerted her ititi rl dominion over the sympathies of the auctie,..:e in that affecting part. Mr. YHUNO played the Stranger with his usual ability. Mr. ECHRTOS, in the part of 1.:.:r0n &tinfort, instead of liAttiamottc, and CIJAPNIAN, in the part of 7 obiat, instead of MunnAy, were the only novelties of the evening. DRURY-LANE.—The Comedy of the Refasat erns performed at this Theatre last nirrl , t, under sitcom. • - stances which were rather disadvantageous P. its ge. neral effect. Mr. HARLEY informed the it ud:ence, that Mrs. Manuvs, nho was to sustain the character of Clattloot, was very much indisposed, but that, sooner than cause them any tit:, rytpoitunrcrit, s!re would endeavour to go through the part, and Ile, in the usual terms, solicited for her their kind itidul. Bence. The act commenced, and Mrs. MARDYN Was received in the most encouraging manner, but st.e was evidently very weak in her frame; her delivery was feeble, and her eceition exhausted her so much, that she was obliged to retire. The curtain fell, and some delay took place. Wirer: Mr. HARLKY again appeared, he stated, that Mrs. M.trtuyN was s•.) ill, it was impossible for her t r continue her exertions. The a.adiencesexpressed their sympathy, and without a murmur permitted the remainder of the part to be read by Mrs. BRERETAN. Miss 'VERs was substituted for Mrs. MARDYN in the character of Rerat.llsa, in the Atte:piece of Rl:patina. MR. RAY MOND. The late Mr. Itaxarnan, whose premature and sudden death is the theme of just regret, was a toa, live of the county of Banff, not of Aberdeen, where his lather occupied a small farm. At a very early period of his age, he attracted the notice of a Gentle man of fortune in the neighbourhood, who took him into his family, when quite a boy, and sent him to one of the best Parochial Grammar Schools in Scot land, for his education— the schoorof Fordyce, which has beea distinguished for producing many excellent scholars. Here young Grant (for that was his family name) distinguished Mandl as an apt scholar, and became an excellent penman, which enabled bun to assist his Patron occasionally as an Ananwentis. Hav ing ready access to his well stored library, lie acquired an early taste for reading the best BritiXh Author,, particularly the works of our Dramatic Poets, which he studied with much assiduity, and which probably decided his future determination to try his fortune on the Stage. His theatrical pursuits in Dublin (where he assumed the name of RAVstoso), and in several of the Provincial Theatres, were highly successful, and at length conducted him to the arduous situation of Stage Manager of Drury-lane Theatre, for which his temper, his kind manners, and indefatigable in dustry, eminently qualified him to succeed—and in which we have already noticed his exertions with due commendation. In private lite he was not less de. serving of praise—and it is with pleasure we record one instance, among many, of his generous and die. interested conduct. When established in life, many years after he had left Scotland, he heard, with deep regret, that his early patron and benefactor had una• fortunately been reduced from a state of affluence to pecuniary distress, and was then living in obscurity in the neighbourhood of London. -. RA Y 102I1) hastened to his relief, and in the most liberal And delicate man• ner contributed to the wants of his old and respected friend, by tendering him a handsome sum of money as a loan, without the least prospect of its being rea paid. This act of true gratitude and benevolence was never mentioned by him during.the life of his friend ; but it is known to the writer of this article, and it ought to be recorded to the honour of R.ty.. bloNia. Indeed, his purse, with all the claims of a, numerous family, was always open to the assistance of a deserving indigent brcther —a very numerous class of kindred in the theatrical world.—Mr. Rat- Mon) may truly be said to have fall:•n a victim to the severe duties he imposed on himself in the service of the public as Manager of Drury-lane Theatre ; a cossideraCon which cannot fail of exciting a general feeling in this libtral nation, whenever a proper op. portuisity shall be presented of calling on the public to ecntribute toahe comfort of his afflicted widow and family--The vacancy occasioned by the sudden :and LiMenta r death of Mr. RAYWIND, cannot be filled up without•delay. Several of the Members of the Committee of Management are absent from Town ; and the interests of those who may be deemed eligible fur the office, may require to be consulted, before an appointment du be determined. We understand k is the inteetiim of Mr. SEAN, and several of the leading performers, as a deputation of the whole Theatre, en %silk too the Sub Com- Mittee, to request that Mr. RAE may be asked again to accept the situation. This circumstance must be highly flattering to that Gentleman, and is a ve►y satisfactory comment on his conduct during the time he filled that unthankful office. We are .authorised to contradict the statement of the death of Mr. Roamer rALIASit, of Daily-lane Theatre, which appeared in some of the mere yes terdar : it is without foundation. The Margate Theatre finished a successful career on Satarday with the Cattle Spare and Fortune's Poe Am. Mr. WAYLETT played Onseed with much spit,4* and Miss SYDNEY was a most interesting Angela. Mr. Dow lON'S Theatre, at Maidstone, opened on Monday evening with the Comedy of the row Gen. Henan. After Inc Pfay, Decaste,late of Drury•lane, who is Stage Manager, delivered a neat occasional e Address. The Bath Theatre opens thisseason with the comedy of the Belk Stratagem, in which the Late Miss L. KELLY, now Mrs. HILL, is to make her re-appear• ance as Letitia Hardy. .
