One of those carriages that arrived last night, brought the very amiable Countess of Canuaste- Tom to the Marl of BARS sr stous's house, from her seat at Paine's Hill, Surrey; her Ladyship is much indispmed. The Countess of Cr.seetosr Was to ♦isit her this afternoon. The Theatre was very crowded last evening. The Gloucester Militia in their new uniform played the whole of the night by desire of the fair pa troness. Mrs. FITTHERRIAT entertained several of the Nobility that honoured the Theatre with their presence at supper. During the evening some very heavy cannonading was heard at a very great dist.tnce, but nothing could be learned until this morning. It is said that the firing was off Bolilnane I that 300 if the enemy's hoots had got ow; and that this information was received by the tslegraph from Hastings, end communicated to 2,4rIC4AVVN. Our cruisers are alt on the alert, and can frequently he seen from the tops of the hills, which are now crowded with spetiators. The Lieu tenant at the telegraph never leaves his station one instant —the most vigilant watch is kept. At nine this morning, the fishermen were all as sembled at the West Battery to fire at a mark from the great guns. Earl Ca vtN, the Capt. of the Cesset sloop, and several officers, were pre sent. 'l'ne lost gun fired was only half loaded, and that with waddiss7. not bail, it carried two miles and a quarter. All the windows of the houses at the back of t! 'e ba•tesey were opened, for the shock is so great, th it without that precaution they would be broken. The Captain having given leave to the crew of the Curia to come on shore, the donl.: 1 .1 wore in great demand—and the honest tars canter ed over the downs as happy as Kings. The day is charming, and myriads of pleasure boats are on the water. Mr. G. JO:INSTOPI sports a beautiful new bareuehe. The Earl and Countess of Bratteaav, attended by three servants, took as airing in their eurricle and p.dr ; the music played over Mr. Dow Atmore's library, which was crowded with Company.

BRUNTON'S benefit, and honoured with the patronage of the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH. Mr. J. BRUNTON'S Gossamer was much applauded, and Miss Bisuierms's fine figure appeared to great advantage in the beautiful dress of Reza/ans. The Pai.tomirner was got up with great care, and very well received. A charming little girl, not seven years old, was brought forward neither as lio•lrquim nor Cduw6tor. but, as she should be, in the I%,,tre. I believe die is Mr. nItUNTON'S daughter, and was as well re ceived as if she had been eletard a Rovcia. The Duke ant Duchess of Marti.suitot oir stayed the whole performance. The house was crowded.

It was now shout eighteen years since His Majei. ty rime began to embrece eve-y favourabKiopportun ty for procuring Spanish Sheep, of the true Merino or fine wonlled sou, in order to lessen the great sums that were then, and still continue to be sent, not of this etnintry, for the pnrchase of this wool, without which, fine broad cloth canna he mad- ; the several lots of Sheep thus imparted by His Majesty, were distributed, as they arrived in this country. among the Noblemen and others concerned in breeding of Sheep; but such a general prejudice prevailed against their uncouth appe arance , an d bad carcases, when compared with the hest breeds of this country.thatlittleor no good seemed to have resulted. About 14 years ago, His Majesty had the good for tune to be able to procare a considerable flock of the very hest kind of Spanish Sheep, which he deter mined upon retaiMng in his own possession, and giving ,. a fair trial to the import an t ex p- r i ment , o f their ntness for this climate, and that their wool would not here degenerate in fineness. The pro duce of this flock was at first given away, as bad been done in former instances; after which, a cer tain number of young Rams and Ewes were annually disposed if, at the prices of common Sheep at the time, to the persons that appeared most likely to preserve and improve them ; but all this proved of little or no avail, only one or two individuals were thus found who entered into the business, or seemed to give the experiment a fair trial. At length Sir Joseph Banks, who superintends the management of this flock for His Majesty, SO much to his own honour and the advance ment of His Majesty's beneficent designs, about a year ago, advised His Majesty to follow the example of all the great improver; of the breeds of sheep, particularly the Duke ut Bedford, and Mr. Coke of Narlolk, and have a public sale, instead of g ivi n g away or selling his sheep at inferior prices, by which persons inclined to speculate in the new breed were deterred there from. The experiment was accordingly made last August, and 31 rams and 14 ewes were d - posed of by public sieltion, in one of His Mejesty's paddocks at Kew. 'File eagerness that was display ed by several Gentlemen in bidding. and the seal and care with which they seem voice to have entered upon this new speculation, have fully justified the expedations that were formed from t his new mode of disseminating the breed of Spanish sheep ; and this year 38 rams and ewes, being all that could be spared from the flock that His Majesty wishes to keep up, viz. about 100 breeding ewes and a pro portionate number of rams, were lately seleaed out for another sale, which took place on kriday, about one o'clock, at the same place as Last year. Sir .Joseph Banks attended, and was met be nearly the same circle of gentlemen and breeders that at• tend-el last year. Alter the sheep had been minutely examined, each in a separate pee, Mr. Farnham, the auiflionevr, °poled the business by congratu- Esti ag the company upon se;ing Among them so many of the buyers of last year, and that he had this year to offer to them several sheep that were much superior in wool and carcase to those he then had to sell. He proceeded to read the condi; ions-of sale from one of the printed particular; that were handed about, and stated, that all the ewes that were to be sold had borne lambs this year, and had good hags. Lot 1 was a slieulmg ram, without horns; a circumstance not very common with the rams of this breed of sheep, and which is said, in general, to he accom panied by a better shoulder than those sheep have who are horned. This polled ram, after much keen bidding, was knocked down to Mr. Cot, at twenty-one guineas and a half. Lot 2 was a shear ling ram, with very small horns ; this WAS sold to Mr. Angerstein, at thirty guineas. Lot 3, a ieitto, to Mr. Bartley, at forty guineas. Lot 4, a ditto, to Mr. I roister, at thirty-one guineas. I." 5, a ditto, to Mr. Grighy, at thirty guineas and a hall Lot (./, a ditto, with very large horns, to Colonel I - aileron, at twenty-.even guineas. Lot 7, a ditto, to Mr. Bele, at thirty-five guineas and a half. Lot 8, a ditto, to Mr. Aiton, for Earl Powis, at forty seven guineas. Lot 9, a ditto, to Mr. Hurry, at thirty tour guineas. Lot 10. to Mr. Stanford, the King's shepherd, for a gentleman in Ireland, whose name we did not learn, at twenty-six guineas. Lot 11, a ditto, to Mr. lances, at twenty-eight guineas. Lot 12, a ditto, a fine large sheep, to Mr. `evil, at forty-eight guineas. Lot 12, a ditto, to Mr. Sumner, at twenty-eight guineas. Lot 14, a ditto, with large horns, to Mr. Lucas. at thirty-one gui neas. lent 1.3, a ditto, a handsome sheep, to Mr. Bell, at fifty.six guineas.—This completed the young or shearling rams. Lot lb, was a four.toothed ram, without horns, that has been used in His Majesty's flock; it was sold to Mr. Angerstein, at sixty-four guineas. Lot 17, another font-toothed ram, had also been used in the Royal flock, and is a descendant of the famous Snag; it was sold to Mr. Hurry, at thirty-three r guineas. The sale of the ewes then commenced, each . . .. . ewo being distin:;ui.hed by a ticket, suspended by a small riag tr .m its ear, and all of them were without horns. Among thecom pany we noticed the Earl and Conn tess of Jersey, young Lady Villiers, dud several other Ladies, John Fine, Esq. M. P. ifeary Hugh Hoare, Esq.
