This fashionable place was never more gay, or more crowded with visitants, than at present. The delightful Promenade to the Pump Rosin exhibits every morning a fascinating display of beauty and elegance ; throughout the day, the shops are nu merously attended with liberal customers ; and in the evening, the public amusements are resorted to with untelaxin4 avidity. The Theatre is esrremely well supported ; indeed, the industry of the Managers, in providing a con st.nt succes,ion of novelty, cannot Ire too much prai,ei, or too liberally rewarded. The I 'We Rimla was immediately succeeded by the Gcrat STIrIiUN Kew at.s, who has played some of his principal charaaers with much success. The two Beth until; tries have added greatly to the strength ,of the regular company. GATTIL, a few nights ago, performed Rick, in the After-piece of 1.4,4 Lasgiss at Lorksmitht, in a most admirable stile; his two songs were rapturously encored. Miss J AMS.

Our balls have been well attended ; the elegance and attention of Mr. KING make every place de sirable, that he is concerned in. A great musical treat is announced for t a-morrow evening at the Lower 11.0.1111.1. The celebrated Mr. %Yost. r, Mr. and Mts. Asti e, Madame WEICKVILL, Mr. MA.. OILATII, and Signior Ravzoitio, are announced to give their assarance. 411,11(G.4TE, AL UST 20. About seven o'clock, yesterday evening, we per ceived a very black and heavy cloud rising from the North ; in a tew moments the horizon all round he came of the same appearance, the water was alallst as smooth as a looking-glass, and scarcely a breath of wind blew, when, suddenly, we heard loud peals of thunder, at about a mile distance, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning ; in a short time, the noise approached much neater, and the thunder rolled with one continued crash, through the whole atmosphere. The promenaders on the pier were now seen flying for shelter ; but before any could be housed, the rain came down in torrents. In an in stant the streets were deserted, and exhibited nothing but a rapid Hood, carrying every thing before it. 'This continued for near an hour, when again the clouds began to separate, and the evening became clear. Several fishing smacks, which went out with the evening's tide, seeing the threatning dan ger, endeavoured to put back, but were overtaken by it, within about a mile of the shore. Yesterday being exercise evening, the Xergate Volunteer Artillery praftised for some time at the fnrt and point of land on the western side of the pier, where two 24-pounders were placed. They fired < • I rounds from the guns at the fort, and on the point of land, at a entail boat, with a flag, stationed at about two miles distance from shore to the northward. A number of very good shuts were made, but none reached her. This is a very tine body of men, and appear well disciplined ; their uniform is bine jackets and pantaloons, faced with red ; round hats, with white feathers at the side; each man armed with a sabre. About eleven o'clock last night it began to blow a fresh breeze from the N. N. IL and in less than an hour the gale became 94) brisk, and the sea ran so high, several fishing smacks, which saikti with the evening's tide, were obliged to tack about and come again into port ; the gale is not now s r fresh. and some of them are getting under weigh. The uno•n ing and evening packets from London, are just come in with several passengers, who had a very hard night and all sick. The Prince of °ramie packet. for London, with a number of passengers, in tacking round the point of the Pier head, was in the utmost danger of running right across the small Pier to the North of the great one, which is ouly visible at low water, in which case the vessel must inevitably have gone to pieces. The greatest confusion appeared on board for a few seconds; the women, of whom there appeared a great number, screamed violently ; every one run down to the pier in the greatest apprehension and terror imaginable; bat, 'intimately. aster rubbing along sid- the pia forfora few yards, she righted, and got fairly of, to the sAtoladion of the bye-slanders.

The 1..-sti CH 41/CELLO* pronotmced judgment Id this taus., sorlilch was a bill tiled ha a specific per.; fiirniance of an agreement, and came befere the Court on exceptions to the Master's report. His Lordship was of opinion that the title ro the estate was rood, and that the Defendant should he come pelted to take it ; but he did oot think Sir Walter should pay the costs, as, strietly speairi , g, the title to six acres had not been clearly made out. E rimer ill %11, in the tit titer of sit Aw, a finnkrvit. This Petition *as preferred on the part of the children 01 the bankrupt, and payed that the com mission should be superseded, on the ground that no oft nt bankruptcy had been committed, and that the sale of the baokruyt's estate should be set aside. The A "Twines , (leek,' AL stated, that the COTH. mission had been taken chit against the bankrupt, without the slightest pretence to suppose that he was a trader, or had committed an aft of bankruptcy. He then stated, fr,m several affidavits, that the bankrupt never had been engaged in any trade whatever, and that he had constantly lived on his I evate in the north of England ; add also, that prior to the taking out of the commission, he had con veyed his estate to his children, e hich was the cause of this application. The only ssEl of bankruptcy winch had been proved, and on which the com m ssion had been issued, was contained in the de position of a person in the country, who lived in the neighbourhood with the bankrupt ; and stated, that be heard the bankrupt saying he would go to America, where he, the bankrupt, heard there wet* privileged places hi which be would not be in dang-r of bc.s,g arrested lot debt. As to the sale of the es tare, the Learned A rrORPCV GENLIt•L Stated, that it had been efreClod in the most scandalous manner, scarcely any notice had been given by advertising, oat which account there were very few persons pre sent besides Mr. Fotbergill, the assignee, his sister, who was the only bidder, and the attorney who had is used out the . commission. A few others, were pre sent, and when any of them asked whether a good title could be made out ? the attorney Answered, that the estate had been conveyed by the bankrupt to his children ; but that he, the attorney, would work tto make the title good. The estate was knocked known to this lady, who was the only bidder, at 1,3031. considerably less than the value of it; on which account, and for the reasons before stated, the Learned Gentleman hoped the Court would grant the prayer of the Petition. The Loin C • LLL on, on looking over the different affidavits, said, the commission was evi dently good for nothing, as it was for a judgment debt, which, on comparing dates, appeared not, in Loa, to have become A debt, until after the com mission was issued ; but as none of the creditors had joined in the petition, he could cot, in its present state, grant die prayer of it ; however, lie would allow it to be amended. . .

Some of the state prisoners in Kilmainham gaol, Dublin, wearied out by confinement, and not hay. ing the means of supporting their families, have, we hear, volunteered to go to ADICTICA, on the Govern ment paying their expences, which, we ere informed, has been acceded to, and they are to take their pass age in die fist vessel that sails for any of the ports of that country. This measure is considered as a pre lude to a general gaol delivery of all those persons confined on suspicion of state offences. The French received a lesson a hundred years since, which they seem not to have brgotten, acrd may probably have hastened their late de pantile from Vigo. At that period, they received A total defeat in Vigo harbour, from Sir GEORG& Rook's squadron, assisted by the Deitch ; to A ccrint. plish their °Neel, they broke through the boom bid across the bat boor's mouth, and the English took 4 galleons and five men of %Vat ; the Dutch bse gal leons and one man of war.

This was a meeting of the Commons, without the interference of the Aldermen, in the shape of a Com mittee of the whole House, to consider of the merits of the new Police Bill to Be brought before Parlia ment, printed copies of which had been sent last Quarter Assembly by the Lord Lieutenant for the approbation of the Aldermen and Commons. Mr. MIA Lex offered a string of resolutions, ex pressive of his abhorrence of the uncoastitirtional measures, by which it was sought to invade the rights and chant. et! privileges of his fellow-citizens, particularly in the clause of the bill, by which Go vernment would arrogate to itself the power of elefting Magistrates for the City. He reprobated as an unnecessary, inefficient, and expensive measure, that of appointing barristers to dire& the new \la gistrates in the execution of the official duty, and deduced as a general consequence from the whole system, an additional annual e. spence of 20,0001. beside ccnverting the capital of the kingdom into close borough. Mr. Nunzar observed, that as the opinion was general, that some nioditication of the present ne farious Police Establishment was necessary, he would recommend to have the bill submitted to tht opinion of some eminent Bai rister, in order to keep it within constitutional bounds. The temporary quiet in our streets at night, he attributed solely to military patroles, and would not hesitate to allege, that in 411 cases whereithe tranquillity of the citizens was interrupted,or their repose distorted, by the cries and cabals of prostitutes, tLat the watchmen were uniformly their proteaors and abettors. Mr. CRA VCR recommended a temperate, discreet, and respeaful discussion of the merits of she bill in question. He was not aware that aay necessity ocit curred for laying it before Counsel, as the A sembly. At various adjournments, would Prove fully com petent to modify and improve it. He warned theta not, by any :ash, indecorous, or precipitate conduit, to irritate the Government, whose sincerity, in suis misting the Bill for their amendment and advice, could neither be questioned or doubted. Mr. M'AULEY expatiated on the beauties rf ab solute monarchy ; a mode of government which a wise people would always prefer, were it not for the fatality which attends Kings of that stamp, whose accomplishments seldom shine out above once in a century. He was a stri, adherent to the old law, and dreaded the evil consequences of inno vation. He was not one of those who would osb mit to the discipline of au ap tbecary in the a& menu vA.if of cramming boluses into the throats of his patirnts—he thanked Providence that he had no acquaintance with the present Superintending Magistrate; but conceived it possible he might be quite as good a man as any of the Aldermen pro jeled by the bill to assist him ; he was therefore for retaining him in full authority, on the principle ex pressed by the tortured savage, wh, , , on being of fered human aid to remove a pestilential insea that grappled to his sore, cried out to spare him, as the removal would only leave a vacancy for six additional blood suckers. The Resolutions were not passed, and the meet ing was adjourned for a fortnight.
