On Saturday night, at two o'clock, the inhabi. tants of the Castle were shinned by a sudden cry of " Fire !" when it was discovered, that in the draw. log-rooms of the south-east wing of the gaud front now nearly finished, the destructive element had commenced its ravages, and threatened the Jr. atroctiou of the emote new building. The fire, it seems, was occissunied by the airing of the rooms before the hearth stones and grates were set. There was a large quantity of coals and turf, for that purpose, deposited in the centre of each room, to which had the fire communicated, it would have been scarcely possible to have saved this valuable edifice. By the great and unremitted exertions of the Officers and privates of the 93d Highlanders, the fire was extinguished before it had done much damage. Among the former Major Gordon, Cap tain lowan, and Ensign Sutherland, were parties. larly attire. We have to announce, with deep regret, the death of Sir Humpliry May, Bart, of Mayfield, in the county of Waterford. He and his Lady re. cently went to France, but his progress through the country was arrested by that event. We regret to barn. that on Tuesday night the Honourable Montagu Mathew, one of the Representatives in Parliament for this County, bad a serious paralytic attack, at Castlefogarty, the Meat of Thomas Lanigan, Esq. near Thudes. We have some satisfaction, however, in saying. that gentlemen since arrived from that neighbourhood bring intvlligence, that the Him. Gentleman is in soave degree better.—(Cluswiel Paper.) ST NICHOLAS' BAY HARBOUR AND CANAL. A Court of Directors. and an half-yearly As. senility of the Proprietors of this Company, were lit Id at the Guildhall in this City. pursuant to the Act of Incorporation, on Tuesday last ; when, among other matters, the Deputy-Governor reported that, in compliatice with an opinion entertained, that a more eligible point of communication with the Thames etc! Medwey might be obtained by a canal navigation from Nagden Creek to this city, he had employed an able engineer, Mr. Thomas Telford, who had attentively surveyed the laud upon four different lines—the first in a direction from the above point, rounding the foot of the Boughton Blean hills, through Old Wives Lees, to Shalinesford-bridge, and from thence by the valley to Canterbury —the second, from the same point. over Dargate Common, through the ridge of the Boughton Blean hills, North Flishopoten IVood, and Saint Thomas's hill, to IVestgate Court—the third, by relinquishing the lust line to ‘Vestgate Court, mud fixing its termination near the lied Lion public-house, on the Whitstable road—the fourth' line, that of tonsil% down the valley to the north-east of the above public-house, and terminating on the sea. shore at Swab elide. In reference to the two first lines, Mr. Telford observes. that the first being en cumbered with four miles of tunnelling. besides iiiiich deep cutting; rind the second having two miles of tunnel. a. ul•o much deep cutting, with 360 feet of lockage u howe ordinary high water -411,4 rk. and in tech case a doubtful supply of lixier, they mein to involve much greater difficulties and expense that. the apparent intercourse will jiislify. With respect to the two latter, lie observ.s, that both these lines, by terminating near the Red Lion public-house, leave the communicAtion with the city of Canterbury encumbered with three miles of laud carriage nye; very hilly ground, besides a coin. partitively greet lockage, and a very doubtful blip. ply of water ; and these circumstances induce him to suspect, that all improved laud conveyance to Whitstable. or even to Nagden, would supersede, or an far divide tl.•: business, as to 'coder it uniid visable to incur the expense which either of these imperfect projects would create. tinon the whole, he concludes by observing, that if a regular water conveyance is desirable to the city of Catio•rbury, it will be must prudent to reconsider the plan origiustly projected of proceed ing by the natural valley to the sea-shore of St. Nicholas Bay. and endeavour to discover a more fivourable point for the construction of the en trance from the sew (and which, it is thought, may be found near Reculver). And if this could be ac complished at is moderate expense, the city would then be effectually accommodated, by an open canal, with a small lockage, and a certain supply of water. Tile further considenoion of this important work remains suspended until the result of an applica tion to the Commissioners for a loan of Exchequer Bill, shall have been ascertsiued ; in the meats time, it may oat be irrelevant to add, that the ne cessity and utility of au harbour, on that part of the coast abuse alluded to, become daily RION •pparent, and are acknonlet4rsil ems by those who were an the list instance its stroligest oppiments. The pions and Nectiong of the above lines were merle by Mr. Grist, of this city, end order the di ecrimi of !Mr. Tel tont, who has expressed himself much satisfied with the accuracy and the tihility with wit: ch they are exec uted.—Wentish Chrortick.)

Paid ifentaner, a Gorman, who travelled in EaKland in the reign of Q. 111.11 Eliz4betli, gives tlie following account of the dress and 'node of living of that Prince:sok. The original ►eo.k. which is in I,auin. is now extremely rare. A tr.mAilitio of beveral curious extracts was made by Homer 11'all►ule " We arrived next at the Rowel Palace of Greenwich. re ported to have been originally built by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and to have received very magnificent from hewn VII. It was ber•e Elterbeili, the present goeri, was born, and here she generally result +; partici' arly its summer, for the delightfulne►s of its siniatori. We were admitted by an order Mr. Rogers had precinct' from the Lord Chamberlain, into the Presence Chamber, hung ' will, rich tapestry, and the fl,•or, after the English fashion, strewed with hay, th gh which the Queen cominwily pasties in her• way to the Chapel : at the dour 'total a ;:emir-matt dre.ard in veleet, with a gold chain, whose oilier was to introduce to the Queen any person of distinction that came to wait on her. It was Sunday, when there is usually the greatest at tendance of nobility. " In the some hall were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, a great number of Couesellors of Stole, Officers of the Crown, and Gentlemen, who waited the Queen's arming out, which she did from her own apart ment, when it was lime to go to prayers, attended in the following manner First went Gentlemen, Barons, Earls, Knights of the Garter, all richly dressed and bareheaded; next came the Chancellor, bearing the Seals, in a rich silk purse, Isetwreri two, one of which carried the Royal Sceptre, the other the Sword of State, in a red scabbard, studded with ifoltlat Mears de Lir, the point upwards. Next came the Queen, in the sixty-fifth year of Ler age, as we were told, very majestic; her face oblong, fair, but wrankted her eyes small, yet black aid plea.aut ; her nose a little booked ; her lips narrow, and her teeth black (a defrrt the English seem subject to, from their too great use of sugar); she had is her ears two pearls, with very rich drops; she were false hair, and that red; upon her head she had a small Crown, reported to be made of the geld of the cele brated Lumehourq table; her bosom wa■ uncovered, as all the English Ladies have it, till they marry; and she bad on a necklace of exceeding fine jewels; her hands were small, her fingers long, and her stature neither tall nor low ; her air was stately, her manner of speaking mild and obliging. That day she was dressed in white silk, bordered with pearls of the sire of hams, and over it a mantle of black silk, shot with silver threads; bee train was very long, the end of it borne by a Marchioness ; instead of a chain, she had an ob long collar of gold and jewels. As she went along in all this state and magnificence, she spoke very graciously, first to one, then to another, whether foreign Ministers, or those who attended for different reasons, in English, French, and Italian—for, besides being well skilled its Greek, Latin, and the lattguages I have mentioned, she is mistress of Spanish, Scotch, and Dutch: w►oever speaks to her, it is kneeling ; now and then she raters some with her hand While we were there, W. Slawata, a Bohemian Baron, bad letters to present to her, and she, after pulling off her glove, gave him her right hand to kiss, sparkling with rings and jewels, a mark of particular favour; wherever ►he turn ed her face, as she was going along, every body fell down on their knees. The ladies of the Court followed next to her, very handsome and well shaped, and fur the moat part dressed in white ; she was guarded on each side by the Gentlemen Pensioners, fifty in number, with gilt battle-axes. In the anti-ehapel, next the ball where we were, petitions were presented to her, and she received them most graciously, which °cautioned the acclamation oft Long live Queen Elisabeth!' She answered it with, s I thank you, my good people.' In the chapel was excellent music; as soon as it and the service was over, which scarce exceeded half an hour, the Queen returned in the same state and order, and prepared to go to dinner. Rut while she was still at prayers, we saw bee table set out with the following solemnity : " A gentleman entered the room hearing a rod, and along with him another who hada table-cloth, which after they had both kneeled three times with the utmost veneration, he spread upon the table, and after kneeling again, they both re tired. Then came two others, one with tbe rod again, the other with a salteeller, a plate, and bread ; when they had kneel ed, as the others had done, and placed what was brought upon the Wile, they too retired with the same ceremonies performed by the first. At last came an uninaried lady (we wore told she was a countess), and along with her a married one, bearing a lasting-knife, the former was dressed its white silk, who, when she bad prostrated herself throe times in the most graceful manner, approached the table, and rubbed the plates with bread and salt, with as much 'mem if the Queen had been present. When they bad waited there a little while, the yeomen of the guard entered, bare-headed, clothed in star let,.with a gulden rose aeon their backs, bringing in at each turn a curlew of 24 dishes, served in !slate, most of it gilt; these dishes were received by a GeottlCUlall nt the same order they were brought, and placed upon the table, while the Lady taster gave to each of the guards a mouthful to eat of the particular dish he had brought for fear of any poison. —During the time that this guard, which consists of the tallest and stoutest men that can be found its all England, being carefully selected fur this service, were bringing din ner, twelve trumpets and two kettle drums made the hall ries; fur half an hour together. At the end of this cere monial, a number of unmarried ladies appeared. who, with a particular solemnity, liked the meat off the table, and con. veyed it into the Queeu'a inner and more private chanibt r, where, after she had chosen fur herself, the rest goes to the ladies of the Court." The Sallie traveller, it appears, attended to sports as well as pageants. He gives the following account of Bartholoniew Fair : " Every year upon St. Bartholomew's Day, when the fair is held, it is usual for the Mayor, attended by the twelve principal Aldermen, to walk in a neighboassitig Upon their arrival at a place appointed for that pur• pose, where a tent is pitched, the mob begin to wrestle before them, two at a time; the conquerors receive rewards from the Magistrates. After this is over a parcel of live rabbits are let louse among the crowd, which are pursued by a number of boys, who endeavour to catch them, with all the noise they can make. While we were at this shew, one of our company, Tobias Solander, doctor of physic, had his pocket picked of his parse, with nine crowns du Weil, which without doubt was so cleverly taken from him by an Englishman, who al ways kept very close to him, that the Doctor did nut in the least perceive it." The billowing is his account of the fitting up of the Chamber of Parliament : " In the chamber where the Parliament is urually held, the seats and wainscot are made of wood, the growth of Ireland, said to hare had that occult that all ?clamors animals are driven away by it." The Christims %hew of horses at York was not attended by many London dealers. Horses of a superior kind, adopted for the carriage, bought at high prices; but such were calculated for the saddle ou the road were not much inquired after, and there was no demand fur any to supply the cavalry, whose own horses are now to he disposed of. Amongst some of the evils which the disbanding of a part of the military and the navy hits produced, is that of a number of forged passes, carried about by women, pretending to be the wives of si+ per. sons, amid which the constables and overseers of the different parishes have no means of detecting, as they cannot know the signatures of the Command ing Otterr atid tile Magistrates aim may have granted them, and by which means lunge toms have been ttaudulently uhtnuted 1 difierent town. ships, titimy of which hare suffered to much, that it will ire dig rmis for a Persoot Mai with a putting pass, t 4 obtain fetid in future, ♦. PUGILISM. On Tuesday week, the admirers of the pugilistic an in the hundreds of Benign., and Rockford in particular, were highly entertained by a fight, whith took place on Southininster marches, between the celebrated John Bennewith and Leggett, for a purse of Ten Pounds. The former resides on Foulness Island, and is well known in that part of the county; the latter is foreman at the works row no at Suoihminster Church; both of them had the character of being men of stoned bottom, and possessing a tolerable share of science. The parties tort about two o'clock, in a3O feet roped ring. whirls liemiewilli first entered, by leaping over the ropes, and throaing np his hat, with great confidence; lie was soon followed by Leggett, who very coolly, and equally sanguine, advanced to meet his adversary. Besiiiewith was waited upon by his brother, who has only one hand, as se I, whilst his wife officiated as bottle.huhler. Leggett was taken care if by Jenny, a knocking down amateur from lireistwood. The men were equal in weight, but Leggett bad the advantage in height and length of arm. —Betting was 7 to 4, 3 to 2, and even 2 to I, un Leg gett. The first twelve rounds the combatants were nearly equal, each giving and receiving tremendous blows ; but the backers of Leggett were disappointed at his not skewing the science they expected. From the 19th to the 30th round, Bennewith sheared superior strength, and evidently had the advantage About this time Leggett made a desperate stand, and had the best of two or three rounds, and endeavoured, by the advice of his second, to plant a hit on Bennewith's remaining open window, the other having been previously shot. In this attempt be but partially succeeded. From this time Leggett grew weak ; nod, In the 49th round. be received a terrific blow in his hread•bavket, which proved nearly a quietus; be, however, fought four rounds after, making in the whole 53 rounds in one hour and eleven minutes, et the expiration of which be reluctantly yielded the victory to his opponent. Beitucwith has, in this battle, retrieved his former cha meter of being a man of good bottom ; and what is more, be has proved (what by some was doubted) that be can take as well as give. He fought his men in a handsome style, and throughout the battle was not the least distressed. After victory was declared in his favour, he with great agi lity leaped over the rope, three feet six inches high, and re- turned to houthmiuster, where, in the evening, he danced ■ hornpipe. Leggett, although vanquished, ilia good man; be fought with the most determined courage, and only gave in whew be could mend nu longer. He was taken to South minster, and put to bed, when it was found that two of his ribs were broken by she tremendous blow be received to the 49th round. It is computed that there were upwards of b,OOlll spectators. MARKETS. UXBRIDGE. Cora Inspector's Rehire, TIIVRIIDAT, DtC111•111 44.
