Doe ROTTEN !keno, Conte Representivo, has been induced, by the report of a speedy dissolution 1 Parliament, to open a magnificent suite of rooms, in Patliament-street„ where all Gentlemen who mean "to propose themselves as Candidates for the representation of Cqunties, Cities, Towns, or Boroughs, in the ensuing Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, may be accommodated with the following necessary articles, to be disposed of in lots, and knocked down to the highest bidder : LOTS. No. 1.--A large quantity of promises and affec tionate Lugs and squeezes, embellished with a pro fution of sweet smiles, tender looks, and gentle wishes. The promisee are a little broken, and the smiles a little tarnished w;th the tears of the wearer. In reher respells these articles are as good as new, and were lately the property of a Lady of Fashion, upon whom they were bestowed by a favourite Gal hnt, a few months before she was divorced from her hu.sbaall. No. lI.—A very fine set of constitntional and in ireendent principles, of the purest quality, formerly ha possession of certain sinecure placemen and pen. sioners, and though long in use, not a jot the worse for the wear. No. 111.—A new edition of Magna Charts, pr.• red upon iSoiseep, for the benefit of simple Kilcaors. No. IV.—An immerse bundle or integrity, ratuality, honour, and,honesty, contained in pro assissory netts and hills of exchange, passed several yours ego by a set of anonymous money lenders, now in Botany Bay. These articles, which are as good as new, will be disposed of at 90 per cent. under prime cost. No. V. Several unredeemed pledges. These were formerly the property of certain lives and for- Awes men, of high rank and charaiter, and were originally considered of great value. No. VI —An immense assortment of Cant, an article in high esteem and great demand among all Pseudo patriots and politicians. For the value and quality of this stuff, reference may be had to speeches upon the Union by Viscount Castlereagls, an emi sew wholesale dealer in this sort of manufacture. ,i•ld B - J 1:;e ..2d mt ot the BONI, way ;ou day., al Ms ; aid Co• it ac• hs4 ,side:. from • calm ;eaded ,odd enter ! , The Hoe. le dm. my, la which If ilea le Fre d have opera- ARIGHTON, Ocr. 21. The wind has lately got round to the sonthws and blowing right for St. James's, has already sea away a Dumber of ear Fashionable,. Upwards of thirty departures took place yesterday. Today we bate had some very heavy rain, with a very heavy sea. If this weather continue, lodgings will be cent. per cent. cheaper. The Dragoon who met with the accident, during the sham-fight, is not dead, as has been reported. He retains his sense!, and is likely to do well. The Green Men is like wise in as favourable a state as can be expedted, We had. last night, a Gland Ball, at the Castle, which was more elegantly than numerously at. tended. . . ANNIVRAISART OF THE BATTLE OP TRAFALGAR. A party of gentlemen, amounting' to forty, who reside ill the neighbourhood of Cavendish-square, met lint Tuesday, at the White Hart Tavern, in Wigmote.streo, Cavendish-square, according to agreement. to celebrate every year the Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. A 6ne portrait of Lord Nelson, value one hundred guineas, purchased by the gentlemen of the Society, and painted by C. Heather, Esq. was suspended in the room in which the Society met. It is nearly as large as life, and represents the late gallant hero, with his left hard reclining on the Vice Admiral Flag, which is Under on the fine ground. against a column. Under the flag, on die pedestal of the column, is a Ad.!, relino of Feast, seated on a firm rowhent, Murat). iog the immortal name of Nelson. A distant view us the pyramids of Egypt is introduced, as these stupendous fabrics were deemed appropriate em &km* of the durability of his well-earned fame, in the total dent - nein* of the enemy's fleet at the me notable battle of the Ni!e. Near to his right foot, towards thy back ground, ate the flags of France, Spain, and Denmaik, :Itch aro overshadowed by his rubes. to signify the vanquished state of these powers. The hack grand represents a solemn sun. se:. with a grand sky, to denote the time of day our sinctble hero fell,and to commemorate the glorious manner in which his sun of life went down. On this encas.on the pi Pure was encircled with variegated la:nps ; the room was also lighted with variegated ia we; , placed in der icesemblematic of the memorable day. At six o'clock, the company sat down to din ner t —EL roe, E.sq. being President.

No IV. --- NYC A new military road and canal is now forming round this port. A troop of the ith Dragoon. Guards, and a strong detachment of the Waggon I rain are quartered in the barracks. The latter are employed on the King's works. 10 the Westward of theaown is another Mattello tower. Some new roads and bridges have lately beer. finished, as you approach to Wmchelsea, in which place is sta tioned the Ist Somerset Militia, and half a squadron of Dragoons. DY MCHURCH-WA IL. This part of the coast is so flat, that the encroach ments of the sea are obliged to be checked by artifi . vial means. But for Dymchurch-wall, which is composed of piles, faggnis, and other dam ma terials, the cou try would be inundated for miles. The piles almost extend to the low water mark, in ord ,, r to break the violence of the surf when the tide flows, which would otherwise force away the embankment The forts and hlartello towers are continued at nearly equal distances, along this shore, as tar as Dungeness Of the latter there are 13, besides one grand tower in the centre, ca pable of holding I,ono men. This is intended for the head-quarters of t e regiments that shall in' future occupy ter- extensive lines of fortifications. The batteries are le;s numerous than the towers, and are nearly all of the same make and strength, except one, which is ennsiderahly iarger than the rest, and is called the Grand Redoeit. this is situated near Lyd ; so that with the Grand Tower in the centre, the Grand Redoubt on the Bank, and their minor de pendencies, our security, wnett they are manned and completed, will be amply provided for. Some little encampments are . formed between Hythe and Romney, for t h e convenience of the several parties employed on this immenre line of works. I' he parties are commanded by a due proportion of of .detached from their corps expressly for the purpose. ROl4/111% These are cavalry quarters. The barracks are at take the coast duty from hence to Dover. Here, an intire new scene begins to present itself. To arid plains of shingle now succeed verdant meads of grass. The sudden transition from the barren coast to the rich pasturage of the marshes, which aro coverel with cattle, is a prospeß highly grati lying and delightful. To the contemplative mind of the philosopler, such a contrast must prove an agreeable source of relied:lion. These luxuriant meadows are beautifully interseßed with dyke., and are occasionally overflowed by opening the sluices. fly this means, the pasturage is rendered so rich, as to be peculiarly adapted to the fattening of sheep and oxen. The military canal at Hy the runs through these marshes, and terminates at Rye.— In ease of a descent, this part of the country is capable of being inundated for a vast extent ; on the slightest alarm, means are instantly resorted to for driving the cattle, persons possessed of local know ledge being always kept in readiness for that purpose. 1141 STINGS. The romantic scenery of the neighbourhood, which is beautifully variegated with wood, and with water, has lost nothing of its wonted attradtion. Hastings has had to boat of as fashionable an assem blage of visitors, during the late season, as any of its contemporary watering places. We are nearly deserted at present ; but, at such an advanced pe riod, it is hardly to be wondered at. Our town is not considered, like Brighton, and many others, a winter residence. The herring fishery has com as:need under very favourable auspices, and conti nuos to be successful, almost beyond example. Build ing, of late, has increased most wonderfully ; upon a principle toe, that we are surpri•Nl is not more generally adopted on the coast. Several spacious mansions are now ere Ring, which are intended to be fitted up after the manner of sets of chambers in I the Inns of Court. These will be finished and corn- pleted for the reception of different families against the ensuing summer. This fashion, we think, needs only to be made public, to become more prevalent. There can be no doubt of its answering, and of its amply repaying the speculations of its spirited proprietors. Most people prefer distina and sepa rate suites of rooms, to that promiscuous sort of inter course to which they must be necessarily liable in a professed lodging.honse. In the barracks is sta tioned the Bch regiment of Foot. A troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards is cantnned in the town. — Battle and Silver-Hill, which, from the nature of the country, have been usually occupied by battalions of Light Infantry, in conse quence of the late em barkations, are now vacant. Sir Arthur Wellesley cmorio d, t his part of the Sussex distria, and makes Hastings his head-quarters. The General is absent as present on leave. A Hat boor Sessions was held at Dover on Monday, six „ e we ) t h e Lo r d Warden attended. It is said, maoy alterations are to take place ; one of which is, that of piloting vessels for the harbour, which has hitherto been dims in a pernicious way, ~nd frequently much difference has arisen between the Captains and Pilots, to der away which, it is said, a certain number of qualified persons are to be appointed, and a propor tionable price affixed ; and this the cubs: is to ex tend to Ranrgate. f : • • '.$•••• • - 11 - T-r':',7l4tox • • XL "' - • unnstow-aorna. BrArt Alderman H•NICET. . • A woman, named Mary Janet, was brought up for her second examination, on a charge of uttering counterfeit shillings. She was examined the first time on Monday - last. The Solicitor for the Mint attended yesterday, and the Prisoner was committed for trial. Alderman Dosorit.l.l presided at the Justice, Room. Guildhall; but no incideugiccurred suffi ciently interesting for detail. MARL soapy a it-ST s.,E IT. In consequence of the depredations which have been recently committed on the property of uphol sterers, arid particularly on that of Mr. Wilmot, John-street, Oxford-street, he has been on the alert in searching for a part of the stolen property, and has succeeded in finding some furniture. Stc. ex the house of Ann Reskall, who keeps an old iron shop in Green's -court, Little Pulteirey-street. A s h warrant was procured, and Foy and Burton, on going to the house of the Prisoner, yesterday, brought away with them bed-ticks, mattress-cases, pieces and remnants of furniture, to the amount of about 501. ; and also Ann Rockall and her daugh ter. A considerable part of the property was iden tified by Mr. Wilmot, who suspeCted hr. porter of l imning been the robber, and who was consequently ryen into custody. Thesystem of depredation by porters, appears to ' e extended itself throughout the principal hou,es la the trade. They have a regular committee, for the purpose of conduCting their net arious praftices; •tad the better to evade justice, a fund is also esta blished, for the benefit of legal advice, to those who should be in want of it. A second search was made in the course of yes terday, when some table-spoons, marked T. F. a table-cloth with a coronet on it, and a cypher, and other articles of plate. &c. sere found con waled. Other 4pholimilims identified part of the property, and the prisoners were renianded until Thursday next, to give persons who have been rubbed, an op poi tunity of identifying the property. SUICIDE. . . A very melancholy ease occurred lately in Dub lin. Mr. M.Lean, an eminent Dentist, residing near Rutland-square, placed a young and beautiful danehter at a serninAry in that city, for the corn ? pleting her education ; and, on her return to her fond parents, they found grten-eyed melancholy had taken possession of her mind. For some time, it appeared impossible to remove it; at last she began to partake of the amusements natural to her sea and age, and her fond parents looked forward with de light to the restoration of her r.atural cheerfulness But vain were their hopes; on the fatal night the wont to bed in good spit its, accompanied by a female attendant, whose watchfulness being lulled into security, fell asleep, whcis Miss M‘Lean stole out of bed, opened the s trl,, .and t.ff ber fis tulae, precipitated herself tiomthetwo.pair of stairs 6. A c7i l gni;gi;' . leleAred'il;;; transtsed oetU twb o'clock in the morning, when she was found by jm- !•:, 4n, of the Police, who alarmed the family shLtj - wan did not permit the body to be removed iv.; the Inquest was held. They brought in their :rdit, fstna , -3r. About a year since, these disconsolate parents lost another beautiful daughter, who went to a ball in full health and spirits, and in going down the dance, burst a blood-vessel, and died on the spot. We should not touch on this melancholy subjeft, did we not observe, in the provincial Papers, au in coned account of this unhappy business. Two clans, or fanions, as they are called, living in the parish et Ballivourney, in the county of Cork, having disagreed upon some sullen or other, determined upon deciding the misunderstanding by a battle, in which each party was to bring what ever strength they could cones into the held. The day of the engagement was appointed to be last Sunday se'onight, and their determination was not a matter of secrecy in the neighbourhood. On that day they met; and in the preparation for anion, several stand of arms were added to pistols, swords, scythes. sticks, Ste. It commenced at break of day, and continued, without the parties closing, until the principal part upon each side were wounded and disabled. Though one party had the superiority in nomber, they were yet greater sufferers than theirs adversaries, for the other, as it is stated to us, pro cuted as an auxiliary, a soldier, who was a deserter, whose services they purchased for two guineas ; and this man, by Teeing his piece upon a bark, uner ringly brought down the man he aimed at, and he was generally pointed out to him, for his strength or resolution. In this brutal conflinr, YO people were wounded; two of whom have been despaired of : the tenacity with which each party maintained their ground, in contempt of destrmlion, was exttaor uhlary. Every friend to peace and good order will lament grin outrageous intranion of the peace and tranquillity of the Country. Our statement is from good authority; and it is not as minute is the recital of this infamous affair, as it has been stated to us. The fairs of the country are becom ing places fur the execution of vinchltive resent ments, entertained by the lower classes.--(C*4 Mere. Chronicle. J A young man was last week committed to gaol s at Bristol, oa a charge of having stolen sortie hoe& from on board one of the vesseis trading from Swansea to Bristol. He hid it seems, pur loined several cash notes from the cabin of another trader, then lying in Bristol river, hut the greater part was afterwards recovered. On the robbery being destined, much anxiety prevailed in both ves sels to discover the offs der, and the cunning cap tains 'fluidly went to consult a tennis: wewen for that purpose; nr. being introduced to the S.rcereis, and depositing 6eota.geieee as a fee, she informed them that she could not sheer theta a likeness of the thief till after sun set, upon which they retired ; and , on visiting the antiquated Sybil again in the even ing, found her so completely iitostrated by the produce of the moraines adventure, that they spitted her in disgust, heartily repeating their cre dulity. st,lov 4 1k .
