But notwithstanding their crippled state, they have all , arrived except three, the Calypso, which is said to have foundered ; the jtmo, Ross ; and the Lady Ilfeichvorth, ER RICK. Since the year 17142, 110 Jamaica Fleet has sustained so much damage as that which. is now arrived. The Captain of the Dale states, that during the storm he run foul of a vesiel, .which foundered immediately. He is ceriain it w3s either the Caljpo, of 16 guns, or the' . 7usio, but thinks it Was the Fortner.

Thomas Ruud, for 'whose apprehension a reward of moo!. has been offered by the Sovereign of Bel fast, was confined on a charge of High Treason from the-year 1792, when he was arrested at Belfast with Save; Nebo,: and others, until the year 1802, when be was released from Fort George, in Scotland.

Huntingdon • in their ratite to Pembrokeshire, halted at the town of .Llandilo, in Carmartbenshire, where .one,:of the l'iiv.akes, meditating among the tombs in the church.yat-41;. descried a grave which had been juq dug .fir -'Mr. William ,llavits, trumpeter of. Carmarthen,. who died at Llandilo daring ti! Quarter iScs.inns. He drew near, and observing the shallowness of the grave, he deprecated the very idea that any, man should be deposited in such a bole. Going,, however, soon after, into the river "lowy to bathe, :the poor fellow was unfortunately 'drowned, and he was buried in that very grave, while the remains of Mr.. Davies were conveyed by his friends- to Carmarthen for interment. A few 'Weeks ago, in removitig some .rubbish among the ruins of the obi, (*tit.: Kinclaven, were found . four very antientNilver'Voins.

WE 'have now such an abundance of visitors o f ll sorts, that though we, may have no objeftion to s 'change of faces,. we have no great desire of any addition to our miscellaneous hordes of carelesa .Beas,x and coquetting Belles. , • To give full employment td the torte of our mot: ley groups we were invited to the first Morning Breakfast this season at the PrOspeet BowlitigGreen House. The sanati ve effens of the sea.air were visible in the prodigious consumption of all the viands that generally accompany a Breakfast. Indeed it might be supposed that the fireaTiirs of eating had not been exercised for ilevett4 gam and that all the guesti were resolved tO Make up for lost time. In the evening Bit AtiaWgave the Public a treat of another kind, which was devoured with reed): ears. The piece . Was' The Siege of Belgrade. The Boxes Were crowded, and BR.AHAM is likely to be such a musical magnet, that the Manager thinks 44 he is worth a <<w' eye." STORACE, though to use another homely phrase, ‘, not to be mentioned on the same day," in point of vocal . merit, still hciW. ever a very effective Performer, and is not with6ll.l attraction, at least for broad striking humour. To exercise the powers of the mind as well as those of the body among our fugitive hosts, they were sumnionedto a Masquerade on Tuesday, night, at :,BlTTssoN's Library. About fivelomdred-persons were present, but no flights •oi fancy, no - fertility and acuteness .of -repartee marked the meeting.— There were but few channel-a,. and they were but languidly supported. It is indeed evident that - our visitors are wore capable of gratifying their itomachs and their - ears than of any entertainments that refer them to their own intellethral resource'. The beauty of the weather was highly advan tageons to Dandelion an Wednesday morning, and the scene was rendered highly amusing to every speelator that has not too much splenetic philosophy► .to enjoy the passing follies 'of the age. At night the. never-failing Comic Opera of The Dwane: again filled our Theatre. BRAHMA warbled Carla: with a luxuriant melody that enraptured his h ear th. We wisl ttlat the qualities of STORACE had equally coriespultdad with the soft •graces of Clara. However., H she hustled through the songs tolerably well, and the Audience were hot sparing 'in applause. The rest of the charaaers were re spedable, and Mrs. 'TAYLOR'S Old Margaret, a very good piece of antiquated coquetry, and ludicrous rage. 'On Thursday we had the usual Ball at Kuala. MAN'S, *and a Cricket-match at Dandelion. •The scene was enlivened by the Band of the s sth, and there was a very fishionable attendance. " The most gratifying sight we have had . for some time was a .05;p-latillch on Friday morning at Broad- • stairs. The ceremony went - off with great eclat, and without any drain-back-upon the pleasure of the com pany. A cold Collation was provided for about five hundred, but more than double the number at.. terded. The Theatre in the evening presented The Cabinet, and. was 'again 'crowded. After the Play the company filed, off with great eagerness to a Masquerade at Kt DDMANN 7 where we cannot say that there was more wit and humour- than at Bar. TES ON'S treat of the, same kind. On Saturday poor Dandelion ions not able to lure the midnight Revellers from their downy beds.

The Siege of Belgrade was repeated; and w 43 as eagerly attended as .on the fortnet,, night:— BRA/IAM was the Straskier and he,sung the Airs in. a beautiful anti animating stye. .TheYarce was The Prize. A new Patriotic Song was introduced entitled " Fall or Conyner," .

From the great variety of amuseirents this season at the Circus, - and the continued Succession of merit and novelty which have ever s!ronglymarked the leading features of each Change, we were of opinion that the Entertainments of last week . would have met the. public eye during the course of the present . one ; hut. we understand part of them have been withdrawn, from the strong inelination which the Proprietors have to deserve well of their generous patrong,, and in their stead was lait night produced the revived popular Comic 'Pantomime, materially compressed and altered, called the Golden Fatmer ; or, Harlequin Ploughboy, which gained the 'unani mous approbation of the most ritimerous audience that theatre ever possessed..
