They will not meet again before the Is th 061ober. The proposal of Government to inderrinify the Holders of East India Stock, by granting them the exclusive trade to China, has been rejefted, as in consistent with the interests of the State. A new Company is to be established, to Carry on the Whale Fishery in the latitude of the Cape of Good Hope, and upon the Coasts of Africa. The Americans and the English have Carried on this Fishery for some time with great success. Every Inhabitant of this Republic, and of the Cape, may take a part in this Trade. The Vessels that are to be employed in the Fishery, .must be fitted out in this Country, but after two yeat's no yes_ gels will be permitted to engage in it that are not Dutch-built. The oil, &c. of the whales, must be sold in our Ports before it can be exported to Foreign Nations.

Mr. BANNISTER also sung two songs he was, as Us ua l, ver y M uc h applauded : and Mrs. MILLS received the approba tion of every one present. It was the laSt night of Mi. BANNISTER'S performing. This morning HIS MAJ EST t and the DUKE of GLOUCESTER bathed. THEIR MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES, the DUKE Of GLOUCESTER, and PRINCESS attended Divine Service, where they heard Mr. OGLE preach a sermon from Mark i. ver. 3s. After Church, His MAJESTY, . the DUKE Of GLOUCESTER, Lord WALSINGHANI, Colonels PiTz. ROY and CARTWRIGHT, walked on the EsOanade. DUEL. ON Sunday morning a meeting took place near St. Alban's, between a Mr. B. of London, and Capt. T. of Cork, in Ireland. This Duel has been pend ing some time : it arose, we understand, from some words which passed between the parties at a former Duel, wherein Mr. B. was a principal, and Capt. T. Second to his opponent. Immediately after the Duel, Capt. T. sent a challenge to Mr. B. who de_ dined accepting it, and set off for the Continent ; on his return, he met with the Captain accidentally, who demanded reparation for Mr. B.'s conduCt, he having called him a scoundrel. The appointments were made; on exchanging shots, Capt. T.'received the ball 'in his right breast ; he staggered much, and, returned the fire, but missed.—Mr. B. stepped . up, said he hoped he was not much hurt, and begged they might be friends. Capt. T: refused, and hid him take his ground. Mr. B. fired in the air ; Capt. T.'s ball passed through Mr. B.'s clothes in front, and slightly wounded him ;—on the third round, 'Capt. T. was wounded in the right side ; he was incapable of returning the fire.—The Sur. geons who attended, pronounced some hopes of his recovery. Lord HUTCHINSON is now residing at his Seat at Knocklofty, near Clonmell. Lord and Lady MALMESBURY are on a visit to Lord BORINGDON, at his beautiful seat of Saltram, near Plymouth. The Earl of LLANDAFF and his daughter Lady ELIZABETH MATHEW, Set off for Paris on Thurs. day next. Mr. Tt ER NEY'S rapid movements from Dover to Boulogne, and from Calais to Dover, have excited some observation ; but this is not the first time he has gone front one side to the other, with great celerity. A Morning Paper informs the Public, that Mr. BARRETT, who failed in his attempt to go up in the Balloon at Greenwich, is gone down to Preston, from which place he means to go up. This Gentleman appears lately to have met with several ups and drums. Much astonishment has been expressed that Mr. BARR Ett let his Balloon go up 'without him, but we see no cause for astonishment ; if indeed he had ascended 'without the Balloon, there would have been some cause for wonder. The rate of Posting is still continued at fifteen pence a mile from Chichester and Portsmouth to Lou.. don on both roadB.—This is a very shameful im positiOn. It is very extraordinary so many persons should visit France, when they perceive the difficulties and inconvenience of returning from thence. Nothing can be more arbitrary and unjust than to oblige persons to came back in French vessels, whether they prefer it or not. The danger attendant on this compulsory voyage, is related as follows by a Gentleman who with his family was corn. pelled to embark in a French vessel.— " I em barked on Monday the zBth ult. in the Bye_ boat called the Adive, French-built, and com manded by one HEAD, a Frenchman, and a crew consisting entirely of French. After being buf - Petted about for ten hours, and twice or thrice nearly on shore and close to the breakers, not more than half a league from Calais, a distance we did not double for more than four hours ! at six o'clock in the evening we found ourselves close under the land off Dover, and congratulated ourselves on being in safety ; whea the Captain, without the knowledge of the passengers below, whorri the . roughness. of the weather and sickness prevented from stirring from their births, thought proper to abandon Ms vessel, and go ashore in a boat that had put off for the purpose, the tide being too low to enter the harbour. In consequence of which, the vessel was obliged to stand off and on for three hours, during which we were in momentary expec tation of being swalloWed in the abyss, of dashed against the rocks of Dover. The vessel having become completely unmanageable, refusing to obey the helm, and missing stays every ten minutes, and this in sight of two British boats' that easily worked in our presence, and in view of hundreds that were collected on the hills, and on the pier, who every moment expelled us to be dashed to pieces. The crew were intoxicated, and under no controul, and at last became panic struck, and began to strip, instead of standing to their rigging. To the Mate alOne, and my feeble suggestions, my wife and family, and the rest of the passengers, un. der the superintendance of DiVine Providence, owe their preservation." Yesterday morning a young man of genteel ap. pearance was taken out of the Serpentine River, in Hyde Park. It is supposed he threw himself in about three days ago, as at that period a person of his description was seen walking backwards and forwards near the place where he was found: He was taken to the Knightsbridge watch-house to be owned. On searching his pockets they were found to contain sevon guineas in gold, but no memoran dums which tended in the least to discover his name or place of abode. BRIGHTON; Ataust 28. The PRINCE left the room shortly after twelve, and Ole company departed between two and :hree in the trtcrtfing. _ _ The Bishop of CHIc H ESTER will preach a charity sermon, at the Royal Chapel to-morrow. During the perfol mance of The School for Scandal, on Thursday evening, the Duke of OR LEANs came into the pit incog. and a sailor, with two girls, im portuned him to take part of a bottle of brandy, which they drank from the mouth of the bottle ; and it was with difficulty that he could elude com plying with their rough kindness. The scene was somewhat ludicrous 10 an observer. _MARGATE, AUG. 29. THE beauty of the weather this week has brought us nearly our full complement of annual visitors. The inhabitants have for several days been, and continue to be, in a- constant bustle. The town, indeed, was never known to be fuller. Nor does Margate monopolize the flight of Annual Rovers, for Broad_ stairs and Ramsgate equally participate in the flux of coMpany. , Monday morning presented us with the usual Public Breakfast on the Bowling Green of the Pros_ pea Coffee-house ; and the guests had no reason to be dissatisfied with their fare. It was very well attended, and the whole was a scene of agreeable revelry. Mrs. JORDAN made her first appearance in the evening, in the charader of Letitia Ifardy, in Mrs. CowLEy's light, but not unamusing comedy of The Belle's Stratagem. It is hardly necessary to say that such an Aaress rendered the Theatre very attraftive. Her engagement will no doubt be very advantageous to the Proprietors, as well as to her self. On Tuesday morning a new Chapel was opened for the first time, and was attended by a very nu merous Congregation. Report says ) that oo Tess than four hundred of the pious flock came from London, only to assist on the occasion. This Edi fice was raised by Lady ANN ERSK INE ; and how ever people may differ with her in the tenets of her creed, they cannot but respeft her for her bounty and devotion. Divine Service was performed again on Tuesday evening in this new Temple. On the same evening The Poor Gentleman was " repeated at the Theatre ; but I have already ac quainted you with the merits of the representation. Dandelion was in all its glory on Wednesday. The gardens were thronged with Belles and Beaux. All was mirth, spirit, and pleasure. Mrs. JORDAN made her second appearance in the evening in Rosalind. The Theatre was prodigiously crowded ; and. the Boxes really made a splendid ex hibition of Beauty and Fashion. - Thursday was a day Of uncommon bustle and finery in the town and the vicinity. Carriages of every description were in constant motion, and held forth a very gratifying specimen of the genera! wealth and magnificence of a country, in which a small part only appeared so gay and brilliant. The Agsenibly at the Hotel in the evening made a better figure than on the former nights. Friday morning exhibited the same animation, the same variety and multiplicity of carriages, as on the day before—most of them graced by beautiful and ele gant women. Mrs. JORDAN was announced by the play-bills for The Country tin!, on Friday evening. This excellent play of Old WYCH Eat. went off with great spirit, and the whole of the Perforiners seem ed to catch animation from the London Thalia. After the theatrical entertainments, we strolled to Kin DMAN'S Masquerade, where those who enjoy a press must haie been wonderfully delighted. The room was supposed to conta i n about five hundred persons, at four shillings a head. Though the scene was a general squeeze, we did not hear the Ladies complain. There was a variety of charaders, and some of them were supported with tolerable spirit and humour; but the major part were, as usual with this hackneyed species of entertainment, very dull and barren. Many, indeed, attempted to dis play something like 'wit and repartee, but the rash experiment ended in common-place pertness. Mrs. JORDAN made her appearance again in the chataler of Bizarre, in FARQUEIAIV3 pleasant comedy of The Inconstant. I know not if she has performed this character in London ; but if she has nor, it would be an animated addition to the round of parts in which her talents have so often afforded gratification 'to the Public. The Farce - ,. as The Wedding Day. Her Lady Contest was marked by that naivete so peculiar to her rifting ; and her song of " In the dead of the night," was most rz,i, a r t4s' encored. The wotd warmly, indeed, is rather. too faint,.as the heat of the weather, co-operating with the fire of the wing, made applause rather a fa tiguing service, and must have given the audience some conception of the state of the memorable Black-hole at Calcutta,* tESTiii,Ar, in the evening; the rtt [N . re turned amolpt us, and the 'mks which have oh_ cured the horizon of Fashicin; ate now Clearing away. The Master of the Cerenionies had his first Bell . • for d • ub season; at the.Qastie last night; and; as it was known that his Royal Highness would grate the Assembly with his presence, the company , was numerous. The Pktt4t e entered the Ball.rooni at halflpasi ten,. and shortly after drank tea at the tipper end with a party. . The Prince's B an d atte n d e d, by command, and played several airs in a fine stile, while the Seled Party took their iepast. The PIiiNCE :did not dance, nor were any walties danced. The Ball was tOriinienbed with a country-dante ; upwards of 330 persons were present, which is a greater number than has been known to 'meet on such an Occasion at this plaCe. The PRINCE was dressed in full uniform, as a Field Marshal, and wore hussar booti and spurs, with leather pantaloons. The company danced to the following tunes be. fore tea, viz. Lady Mary Ramsey and Speed the Plough. The first dance aftet tea was Sir David Hunter Blair. inE TWO Bd:IRS I shall not haiard an opinion, whether 4s. per head is a proper slim for such an Ordinar v , b o , know that if Mr. Favey had thought that it was not; he had only to have made the suggestion, to have obtained any- reasonable addition ; and what ever sum Mr. Favey charges for his dinner, I be lieve no Gentleman, who partook of his entertain:: merit, with the usval, &c. escaped for a smaller cont r ib u ti on /111;m a mess of from thirty to fifty Gentlemen upon those terms, with the probability of their" in li vidual custom and recommendation, is an obje6l to Mr. Favey, he knows best. It Very artfully stated, that the complaint was that of a single iodil v idual : the faEt, however, is, and Mr. Favg will do well to attend to it, that the Gentlemen ofthe Bar came to an unanimous resolution, in consequence, of the treatment which they experienced, neVer toga t,; the White Hart again. Those to whom these men are known, and the PubliC at large, .will not easily be induced to believe that this could have happened, but in consequence of extradtdiriary behaviour and gross insolence. A Ham appears in the White Hart Bill of Fire, and sounds well : as Mr. Job& Paruty has taken a .fancy to write, he may, perhaps, in his next tion inform us, Whether this article ttTas not or dered from table, being a mangled remnant froth some other table, and which consequ.ntly formed no part of the sumptuous ,entertainthent S erve d up , after v. - Jolting near an hour, Yesterday the East India Company's March Sale • 9 18oZ, finished, when the China raw silk rose 7 per Cent, and the Bengal raW silk about zo rer cent. on an average, the purchasers of the sale were— Mr. las.

There are some things, of which those who take the trouble to read such Papers should be informed. There ivas not a word said of any other Inn_ keepers, nor indeed could it be called a complaint against him. A Paper delivered in Court, whilst the Counsel was speaking; and handed to him, ask. ing hoW many of the Bar would dine at White Hart, led to what was said upon the Subje6t. Whe_ ther the bill of fate Contains a provision with which the Gentle Men of the Bar ought to have been, as is insinuated, highly pleased, I will not dzterniine ; but this I know, that several of therri Were under the necessity of sending their servants out into the town to buy pickled salmon, on which they dined. The number at table is stated at twenty-five; but Mr. Favy should have mention ed, that there would have been double that nux.ber, but that from the experience of their reception and treatment on the Monday, such of the Gentlemen a? could leave Guildford, went to Godalmin, and other places, to obtain a dinner and civil treatment on the day in question.
