THE SERP.ENTINE The piercing wind which prevailed ye:'7er,lay, added to an unwholesome milt, had an eit::ct upon out fashlOnables such as might have been expeftetl, for we did not notice a dozen of carriages in the ride, but among those few were the Duke of QUISENSII MIRY, the Marchioness of WELL lESLEY, and the Spanish Ambassador's. The ice, from the vast number of very bad skaiters, was, generally speaking, almost spoiled, being cut up most in those places where it was the best, and in consequence several of the first per formers had many severe falls, but they were for tunately not attended by any serious accidents.— There were several Gentlemen on the ice equipped with Dutch skaits, the aukward formation of which attrafied universal notice ; but as the owners 'did not put them on to cut figures with, but merely for straight forward skaiting, they answered the intended purpose very well. There were several Skaiters present of the Old School, particularly four Messrs. LONGLAND, CR E SSI, COUrTS, and SCOTT ; they danced mi. nuets and country dances, in the most correct style imaginable, and with uncommon grace. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR JANUAAY. FULL Ditissas.—t.

Spanish hats, of coloured velvet, with feathers to match, are ge. nerally worn. Black velvet pelisses, trimmed all round with lace, are most prevalent. THE OPERA.—The weather was last night a severe obstacle in the way of musical attrattion. La l'ergine del Sole drew but an indifferent Audi ence. The performance did not commence till a quarter after eight. Riau* was so much indisposed that he was obliged to omit all his songs. Ga.MIINI was oppressed by the gloom of the season. The Duet, however, was encored. The Dancers kept themselves warm in Achille, which went of very well, with the emission of the favourite Pas de Trois. Mrs. BILLINGTON has had a slight relapse, in consequence of venturing into Hyde Park on Sunday to observe the sliMery transaaions on the Serten. title River. The report of GIORNOVICHR'S death is con. firmed. He was playing at billiards with an Eng. list Gentleman, and while his opponent was engaged at the table sat himself down in a chair, without any apparent indisposition. When called to resume his play, he did nut answer ; the Gentleman went to him and found him dead. He was buried with great respeet by the Musical Professors. A requiem was chaunted over his grave, at which MARA as. sisted. She went soon after to pass the winter at Moscow. MORKLLI has been singing at Bristol, and, as usual, introduced much of the comic gesture, which made his songs so rffeaive in London. The honest Bristolians, however, not understanding Italian, took his hninour for ridicule, and displayed strong tokens of disapprobation. What a pity it is that he had nobody with him " to translate fur the be. nefit of Country Gentlemen." A singulat occurrence took place a few days since in the City : —The daughter of a respell able trades. man had fallen in love with a young man, who resided in the neighbourhood, and having in vain attempted to aura& his notice by placing herself in his way, at length determined upon making public declaration of her love to his friends, and throwing herself upon their generosity and his sensibility in hopes of obtaining her wishes. She accordingly wait. ed upon the young man's father,' and, without the least hesitation or embarrassment, revealed her pas. s ion in the most tender and pathetic way ; adding, that if Mr. D. could he prevailed upon to accept her for a wife, a life of love, gratitude, and Alec. tionate concern for his interests, should repay him for his condescension. The father was astonished at .the singularity of the application, and having no reason to doubt the virtue and charader of the young Lady, was wholly at a loss how to ad. Fie wai about to reason with her upon the boldness and im. propriety of her condua, but she prevented him, by saying, that she was fully aware that her con. elua Lust excite surprise; but :Is her charaaer was above reproach, she trusted her tnntivet might be liberally construed, and, if in that One instance she had deviated from the exsmple set her by the rest of her sex, she hoped the uncommon proof she had given of the sincerity and ardour of her attachment ' for his son Would operate as an incentive to his for• giveness, and induce him not only to-consent, but to use his influence with his son to bring Aour a union, - upon which her happiness or misery depended. She then left the astoniahed father, observing that she should call again the next day for an answer, and in the mean time should acquaint her own parents vvith the visit she had made, and the resolution she had formed. The sequel to the story is, that the young Lady has been threatened with n madhouse, ' and the young Gentleman, insensible to his proffered happiness, has aEtually left his fathet's house, the better to avoid the addresses of this most enthinies. tic and romantic admirer, CORN EXCHANGE, jAN. i.

The first, in favour of Mr. THOMAS BARK KR, of Willsborough, for his two year old wetter of the greatest dead weight, and not having been fed upon any corn or oil cake, or any artificial cod what ever, after one year old. The weight of this sheep was I 208. The second in favour of Mr. RALPH, of New Romney, for his two year old %%Pettier, which (with other good qualities) possessed the moat coin. piece form and shape. The weight of this sheep was . t loths.—And The third in favour of Mr. RUSSELL, of New Romney, for the best one year old +Nether, which had eaten no corn or oil cake, or any artificial food whatever. The weight of this sheep was 99Ibs. The two French Frigates that were so long blockaded by our Frigates at New-York, and es caped through Hell Gate, were seen uff Cape Finis. terre, on the 2.lst of November, by the Fair Ante. Titan', Captain Flow ER ; and as the wind was di. redly adverse to their course for Fru::ce, they havc probably been picked up by some of our Cruizers, unless they have made Ferrol, or some other port in Spain. ~,,The Rockdale, a constant trader betwixt London and Selby, is a-ground on LowestofFe Beech, and her cargo is likely to sustain considerable damage. On Thursday a large vessel, with Danish Co. lours, was seen to run upon Stoney Binkg, at the entrance of the Humber, and it is feared the crew were all drowned, as the ship went to pieces soon after striking, and no vessel near to afford them assistance. The Tartarus Bomb, T. WITHERS Commander, of ten guns, is ashore on Margate Sand, and will be totally lost. The crew all saved, except one man. She had about thirty prisoners on board, who are at present confined at the guard-house on the Fort, by the Hereford Militia. Bit EA..—Yesterday the LOR D.MAYOII. ordered the Price of Bread to continue at is. 4.id. the guar. tern loaf Wheaten, and is. 21d. Huusehold, the same as last week. Futozittc the GREAT, in a letter to his friend, the Earl of MARISCHAL, in one of the most critical Moments of the Staten Years' War, asks, ss hat Great Eleetor of BRANDNNEURGH would think, i he cotild see his grandson engaged at the same time in war with 'ranee, Austria, Poland, Russia, &c.? But the Court of Berlin has surely mare rea. son to triumph now in the rank and charafter it ha% acquired amongst the great States of the Cort - nent of Europe, of which it is plainly the arbit..r at the present moment. Holland, the Hanse Towns' and the whole of the North of Germany, look up to it individually for safety and proteftion ; while the new Hereditary Title assumed by the House of Au. stria, seems to shew that it is wi►hin the foresight and'contemplation of its enemies to place its Sove reign upon the Throne of the C/ESARS! Still the condua of the affairs of Prussia seems to require great delicacy and management. The road by which it shall travel to greatness, is either not easy, or not near and (Ertel. There can be little doubt but that France holds out great offers and temptations ; but what might that Statesman deserve of Prussia, and Europe, and Posterity, who should be able to re concile her interests with those of Austria, and, uniting the German Name and Nation, erect a firm end honourable barrier to the ambition of Foreigners, and rescue the Empire from their intrigues, their influence, and the miseries they bring upon it. SINGULAR FaAUD.--A Sharper lately observed an advertisement, stating that a Gentleman bad found a Bank note of rqol. and would gladly re store it to the owner, on describing the number, date, &c. This struck him as a favourable oppor. tunity of gaining that sum with little difficulty; at all events with no risque or expence, even if ef. forts failed, He equipped himself in the highest style of fashion, and ordered a post.chaise to his door, with a servant in livery to attend him. He set off agreeable to the direCtion, which was some distance from town, and alighted at the. Gentle man's house, who proved to be an elderly Clergy man, who had picked up the note at the end of h►s garden.wall, adjoining the public road. On being invited into the parlour, he related the purport of his visit, and, on being asked by the Clergyman if he could describe the number, marks, &c. of the note, to convince him of his right to the claim ? he replied, he was fearful he ahould not be able to recoiled sufficiently to satisfy him, having but late. ly received it ; hut, if it was his note, there was► the name of Hill wrote on the back in red letters, and if that name could not be traced on the note, he should decline giving him any further trouble, not doubting but he would soon discover the unfortu. nate loser. On this carotid statement, the Parson incautiously gave him the note, saying, "There, Sir I look if you can see the name alluded to. if so, 'tia yours ; if not,. I must reserve it for a bet ter Claimant." After making his remarks on the note, quite unpetceived, he returned it. Apar gising for the trouble he had given, he took his leave, and, on entering the chaise, took care to minute down every patticular, with which he fur. ni s told his confederate, who, a few mornings after,- repaired to the Clergyman's, and having described every necessary mark, &c, to ensure his claim, readi. ly obtained it of the Clergyman, who had no idea of the stratagem employed. LORD CARIIERRY. Died, at nine•o'clock on Monday e'vening at Reddish's Hotel, Gro EVAi4S, Baron berry, of the kingdoin of 'lreland. His LordshiP was in his 39th year ; in the year r 792, he married Miss WATsot , t, daughter of Colonel Wicrßol4, who amassed a Considerable fortune in India. The first Baron was created byGrorsos I. in the year 1715: His MAiasTY had bestowed this holy or on him on' account of his extreme beauty and manliness. His Lordship was considered the finest torn of his day'. The late Lord was truly amiable, and a man of the mildest and most Gerglernanly manners. About two years since his Lordship was hunting on his estate near Northampton, and had the misfortune to bur:it a olood-vessel, and was considered at the time in extreme danger : about rs months since he brokt his arm, which brought on a lingering complaint, considered by .the faculty a decay of some internal part. A few weeks , since his Lirth,hip came to town, and has been under the care of Dr. BA tLt and other eminent Physicians, who-considered his Lordship so far recovered as to sanelion his return to the country; last Friday was the day fixed tor his departure with Lady CAR II BRAY, for his Scat in Northamptonshire preparatory to the journey he rode in Hyde Park on Wednesday and Thursday last, was in good spirits, and saw company each afternoon ; but on Friday morning he proposed to Lady CAR. B ERRY to postpone their departure until Monday, which her Ladyship aequiesced in. On Saturday morning, about one o'clock, his Lordship was seized with a violent sickness in his stomach, and rang the hell for his servant, who innitediately attended, and, on finding his Lordship had again burst a blood.vessel, sent ior Dr. BAx Li r, who ad. ministered some medicine that relieved his p4tient so much, that he sat up, dined, conversed, anti was in tolerable spirits; but on Sunday evening a rel4st took place, which terminated fatally. His Lordship dying without issue, the title and estates, which are very considerable, devolve to hix uncle, the Hon. Jowl LvAses, of Dublin. Thursday sennight, in the evening, as a private belonging to the Royal Artillery was proceeding to Duncannon Fort, he was stopped, about two milei from . IVaterford, fry t villains, apparently coon. trymen, who having knocked him down, and cut him in a cruel manner, rifled his pockets of 24. 2d. and tack from out of a basket which he had With him, several papers, &c. 'Fhey proposed to 'each other to murder him, saying '' there wereooo many of his sort alive." Providentially, however, on hearing a horse approaching, they fled, leaving tilt poor fellow in a pitiable state. At Brayton Hall, the seat of Sir \IT, LAwsorti BMr. Reed, the head gar. d part of the d a y a long with a division of the Cumberland Rangers, in the :trier;, yesterday having pa s s e s ' e n d n cite g fore evening, somewhat exhilirated with what he bad drank, went to skait on the fill pond, and in put. suing which dangerous recreation he was drowned. A waterman who yesterday- attempted in his wherry to pass through the drift ice by Scotland Yard, got so surrounded by it, that he remained in a sratiotory situation upwards of three hours, during which no one •could afflird bins any assistareee ; and he was at last only relieved from his uncomfortable position by the rapidity of the tide, which on m.king in shore, separated the frozen mass that oboruCted his passage. Last Saturday night two young men were fouod dead in the cabin of a West Indiaman outWard_ b lying off Woolwich. it is supposed th a t th n es n : l l:ad drank too much •spirits, and fell asleep, when they were frost.bitteto On Thursday morning last the warehouse of Messrs. wa .j ' . s entered andj :Wbaynirsn acrd Co. in Threadneedle. street, means of a picklock ,ot false key, and property stolen thereout to the amount of nearly 3001. I\II.4.ftLDOROUGH.STRErt. — A yoting man, the sots of a reputable tradesman, was yesterday clotre. ed with secreting hitmell in the house' of Mr. War. ren, Marquis-street, Mary-la-bonne, on Monday night. The Defendant was in the habit of visiting a female servant in the house ; and after Mr. W. h a d retired to rest, he suspected soMething , impro. per, and, on repairing to the servant's chamber, he observed her in the arms of her ewarn9tato, .witutrt he•lodged in the watch-house. The MJgist rate was about to commit the Prisoner ; bar, by the inter. position of the father, who gave a lamentable ac. count of his ton's depravity, it was judged proper, as he had now laid himself under the lash of the law, to send !sins to the King's service. The Prisoner was accordingly ordered to he detained in the watch. house, while he mide choice of the army or navy. The Thiblia &veiling Post, of Thursday last, says, " By a letter received from Donegal!, we learn, that the PoiSoner of the two men in Simpson's tiospi_ tal has as yet eluded the vigilance of his pursuers. it will astoniAh the Public to hear, that erroneous information could be given to the Officers of justice mere ly for the purpose of favouring th e e s c a p e o f t h e greatest Monster that thii, or any other country ever produced."
