Lady BARRINGTON" gave a grand ball last evening, which was attended by all the beauty and fashion of this place; the supper was superb, consisting of all the delicacies of :the sea Son, abundance of game, Perigord pies, &c. to which a high zest was given by the finest wines of France. The merry dance was kept up till a late hour. The old, sociable, Irish country dance was not forgotten in this fashionable circle. A Spanish dance and waltzes concluded the festivities of the evening, or rather of this morning, which shed its rays upon the gay scene, ere the sprightly votaries °of refined pleasure had separated. There was an extraordinary assemblage of beautiful women, the dazzling effect of whose charms was heightened by the most splendid richness and tasteful elegance of dress. The sky never shone with greater brilliancy than last night ; it was in a constant illumination from ten till eleven o'clock; the thunder which rolled at a distance added an awful subli mity to the scene. The view in the port was quite picturesque. This morning has been very close, and we have had a good deal of thunder and lightning, attended with heavy rain. OCTOBER 3.—The Sovereign sailed from hence last morning with a number of passengers and four carriages. Amongst the former were the Earl of Leitrim and family, with a numerous suite ; Lady Popham, Messrs. Butler, Russell, &c. The wind was brisk and direct for Dover, so that it was expected the pas- sage would be made in less than four hours. The Medusa sailed this day well freighted, and the Sovereign arrived with nearly 30 passengers, but for want of water she was obliged to lay at the pier head. The Sovereign sails again this day (Friday). A consider able number of passengers are expected to embark in this packet, which has already six carriages on board. Boulogne has, in fact, all the business of arrivals and departures ; the balance is, however, full three to two in favour of the returns to England. Although the departures are numerous, the arrivals are suf ficient to fill up the vacancies, and very few good houses are as yet in want of tenants, The Chevalier Charles Le Cordier, the Sub-Prefect of this place, is a polite and well-informed Gentleman ; he joins in all the parties given by the visitors, and is universally esteemed. Every thing has gone on well here since Madame de Viry's unfortunate and melancholy catastrophe. The weather has been rather unsettled; but early risers have enjoyed sufficient exercise, and the bathing has experienced no interruption. All visitors, on their first arrival here should take care to in quire of their friends, who have been some time resident in the place, the prices of every article—in lodgings, especially, the greatest imposition is practised upon new corners. A party of sportsmen here are arranging a plan for bringing over a pack of English fox hounds to Tours, for the ensuing seaon ; some of them have already set out for Blois, Orleans, and the vicinity of Tours. The Parliamentary Commissioners for investi gating the Management and the Receipt and Expenditure of the Customs and Excise, with a view to economy in these departments of the Re venue, have been in this city for some days. Their inquiries have been most minute ; and in various meetings with the Heads of the different Public Bodies they have shown a most praise worthy readiness to receive information, and to attend to any suggestions that may be made to them for the advantage of the mercantile and agricultural interests of the country.—(Aber deen Journal.) POETRY. SONG OF A RUSSIAN LADY, STRUGGLING BETWEEN THE DICTATES OF PASSION FOR HER LOVER, WHO IS IN HUMBLE LIFE, AND THOSE OF DUTY TO HER PARENTS, ADDRESSED TO HER HEART. (Imitated from the Russian.) Ah ! when will thy sorrows be ended, Thy pangs, and the depth of thy woe ! Shall the soft balm of peace ne'er be blinded With grief and wild agony's throe ? Ah, no ! till the tomb shall receive thee, Thy misery never shall leave thee, Poor Heart ! Shall the plight of thy fondness be broken ? Ah, no ! thou wouldst break with it too ! Wilt thou turn from the vows thou host spoken ? Ah, no ! as thy God thou art true ! But Fate stands with duty before thee— Thou art wither'd—Despair is come o'er thee, Poor Heart ! No joy in the world shalt thou cherish ; The bloom of thy spring is destroyed : In thee all that blossom'd must perish, Thou art but a desolate void. Ah, no ! till the tomb shall receive thee, Thy misery never shall leave thee. Poor Heart ! DINNER GIVEN BY THE ARTISTS OF EDIN BURGH TO SIR HENRY RAEBURN, R.A. [From the Scotch Papers.] On Thursday, the 12th ult. the Artists of Edinburgh gave a Dinner at Oman's Tavern, to Sir Henry Raeburn, for the pur. pose of expressing their congratulations on the well-earned ho nour of knighthood lately conferred on him by his Majesty ; Alexander Nasmyth, Esq. in the chair. The cloth being removed, and the usual loyal toasts given, the Chairman, in proposing the health of Sir Henry, said, it was the peculiar happiness of the present generation of artists to live at a time when society had attained such a pitch of refine ment, that a taste and feeling for the fine arts had become very general, and under the benign influence of a Monarch, who, to his other accomplishments, added 'a keen relish for the arts of design,, and an ardent desire to honour and encourage their professors. In bestowing the high honour on Sir Henry which the company were met to celebrate, his Majesty gave a pledge of the high estimation in which he holds the art, as well as his regard for the artist. The company all knew well the many excellent qualities that adorned the private character of Sir Henry Raeburn, as well as his eminent abilities as an artist ; and he was certain they would all most cordially coneur with him in thinking that his Majesty, in bestowing this distinction on Sir Henry, had selected a person in every respect worthy of it. Sir HENRY RAEB cr Rif, in rising to reply, observed, that he was so overpowered by the kindness and respect that had been shown him, that he was sure he should not be able to express the half of what he felt. He hoped, however, they would give him credit for his sincerity, when he assured them that he considered this as one of the proudest days of his life, and that he looked upon the esteem and regard of this meeting as not less honourable than the distinction which his Ma jesty had been pleased to confer upon him. The latter was no ' doubt a compliment paid to his zeal and industry as an artist, but the former never could have been obtained unless he had otherwise conducted himself to their satisfaction. At any rate, he held it to be impossible that he could have acquired their approbation, if he had ever indulged in a mean or selfish spirit towards any of his, professional brethren, or had at any time withheld the praise that was due to them when their works happened to be mentioned. Considering, then, that their esteem and approbation was a testimony of high value, he ac knowledged that he was very proud of it, and that the recol lection of that day would be gratifying to him while he lived. Recurringtagain to the honour which his Majesty had conferred upozi ;him, he observed, that he did not consider it as given to himself, but to the artists of Scotland in general, 'for the pur -1 pose of increasing their respectability, and stimulating their en er, gies, and that he looked upon it as merely committed to his custody for the good of the whole; and when the time should arrive, which could not now be far distant, when he most resign that, and every thing else in this world, be hoped his Majesty would continue the honour among them, and would intrust it to one who should be as much the object of their esteem and regard as he had that day the pride and the pleasure of thinking himself to be. In concluding, Sir Henry requested they would allow him to express his thanks, by proposing health and hap piness, and honourable success to every one present ; and that the cordiality which had so long subsisted among them might never be interrupted. During the evening many toasts appropriate to the occasion were given. Among others, Sir T. Lawrence, P.R.A., and the Royal Academy of London ; the memory of Sir Joshua Rey nolds ; the memory _of the late Alexander Oswald, Esq. ; Sir John Fleming Leicester, Bart., and the patron of living artists &c. &c. The harmony and conviviality of the meeting gives a high idea of the mutual confidence and good understanding subsisting among the professional gentlemen of this city, all of whom (ex cepting two or three prevented by indisposition or otherwise) were present, and eager to express their satisfaction at the occasion which had called them together. We enter warmly into the feelings of the artists on the honour that has been conferred on them as a body in the person of Sir Henry Raeburn. He has for a long period occupied the first place among the portrait painters of his country, and the reputation he has acquired with his contemporaries, by his eminent and well directed talents, while his works endure, will be amply ac knowledged by posterity. As an individual he has been uni. formly distinguished by the mildness and gentlemanliness of his manners; whsle, in'his relations with his professional brethren, his conduct has been ever open, candid and liberal. According to advices from Havannah to the 20th of August, and received by way of New York, the coronation of the new Emperor, Fruit, BIDE ) took place at Mexico on the 21st of July. WEYHILL FAIR.--This Fair, which is con sidered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all the Fairs held in England for the sale of stock, will commence to-morrow (Thursday). It is held annually . and lasts for a more considerable period than any Fair in the neigh bourhood of the metropolis. All descriptions of stock and produce are brought there, but not to be sold on every day. To days are given for the sale of sheep ; two for oxen ; two for cheese ; two for hops ; and so on. The prepa rations for, it occupy a very considerable area, about two or three miles beyond Andover. Several lanes are formed by the erections made for the occasion ; and there are a number of houses by the road side, which are called fair houses, in which different articles will be exposed for sale. These buildings are not fitted up like common habitations. Though nearly the same to look at, they are mere shells and the Fair over, they will, according to custom, be immediately locked up and kept empty, or at least uninhabited, till this period of the en suing year shall arrive. Weyhill Fair is a statute fair • and men and maids usually resort to it in considerable numbers to seek masters and mistresses for the ensuing year. They take their stand in a row, and each carries something to indicate the particular description of industry for which he or she is quali fied. The old custom, as represented in " Love in a Village," is kept up without variation. The waggoner puts a bit of whip cord in his hat, the thrasher exhibits a flail and so with the rest A great quantity of hops have been brought to Weyhill Fair this year ; and a great show of cattle is expected. It is looked forward to with some anxiety by those connected with the agri cultural classes, as they are in hopes that it will do something towards improving prices, which are now complaine4 of as ruin ously low. MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE , —A young girl, named MOF,FATT, residing with her friends in Palmer's Village, Westminster, was to be mar ried to a young tradesman on Michaelmas-day. The young man had taken apartments, purchased furniture, and carried every other necessary ar, rangement into effect, so that nothing remained but the ceremony itself. On the very day the intended bride was seized with violent illness, which was soon ascertained to be a relapse of a pleurisy she caught at Horsham about three years ago ; physicians were procured, and under their care she lingered until Tuesday morning last, when she died, to the great grief of her parents and fondly-attached lover. -4,2 , 4-.-• - ,i,. .1 4 .

CIIELIVISFORD.—A very severe .storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain, passed over here 9n Friday evening, about seven o'clock, taking an Easterly direction. The lightning was so vivid, and so immediately fol lowed by tremendous claps of thunder, as to cause great apprehensions that it would leave some melancholy effects behind. We are, how ever, most happy to say, that no serious injury has been sustained in this part, excepting by the inundations occasioned by the rapid fall of the water and hail, which every clap of thunder ap peared to increase, and which continued with unabated fury for at least twenty minutes. During the storm, and at the instant when one of the most severe claps of thunder was heard, a fine boy, about ten years of age, the son of Mr. Wm. Parnell, of Stock, then standing at the door, in quired what had occasioned the explosion, and on being told it was a gun, he ran towards the mother, who was in an adjoining room, where he instantly fell down and became a corpse, with out the least appearance of having received any injury from the electric fluid. A remarkable fatality has attended the junior part of Mr. PAR NELL'S family, three of them having, previously to this occurrence, met a pNamature death. One boy, elevot years old, in watering a horse, fell off, and the horse treading upon his stomach, he retained sufficient strength only to reach the edge of the pond, where he was found dead. The second, about the sarne,age, in running to avoid a stone thrown by another youth, fell upon a stub, and expired shortly after. The third, as it appeared, whilst in the act 'of picking acorns,fell from the branch ; he was found under the tree quite dead, with his neck dislocated.—( Essex Herald.) On Friday evening, between the hours of seven and eight, this part of the country was visited by a heavy storm of rain and lightning, which came from the westward. The rain fell in torrents, and the lightning was awfully vivid. —lt was with much difficulty the drivers of the stage coaches, both on this and the Dover road, could manage their horses, so frightened were they with the broad flashes that played around them, and which in two or three instances, we hear, completely enveloped the coaches in a• kind of blue flame, that for the moment blinded the passengers. Soon after the storm had subsided, a beautiful loner rainbow made its appearance in the heavens, almost due north. This interesting object, vihich was visibly observed by many of the inhabitants of this town, presented a curvature embracing' a considerable span, and the dark and rain-fraught clouds that occupied the back ground, displayed this richly diversified arch of beauty to considerable ad vantage.—(Maidstone Journal, October 8.)

SIGNALS FOR THE MERCIIANTS' SERVlCE.—Extract of ,a letter from the Agents to L i loyd's at hlauritius, dated the 4th of June, 1822 : " have to' acknowledge the receipt of Captain Marryat's code of signals, transmitted by you to our address. ,For the information of masters trading to these seas, we beg you will make it generally known, that in consequence of the great utility at times of these signals, we have erected, in a part of the town conspicuous to ships approaching the Roads, a mast, for the pl , rpose of communicating with Captains of ships arriving off the island, or passing it in the day time. As, by a regulation of the Government here, ships are in all in stances now subject to a quarantine of more or less duration, the communication by signal of the ship's name, length of pas : - sage, and port of departure, may frequently be of use in a more speedy release from departure. _ ( - Signed) " SAuN DEUS and WIEKE, Agents to Lloyd's. " Mr. John Sennett, jun." LIVERPO4, OCT. 6..--:(Extract of a private letter.)-- " There are four veasels arrived at this port from New York, this day ; but, in consequence of the prevalence of fever in that town, the ships ate placed under quarantine until it can be ascertained whether the crew and passengers be in a healthy state." CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 9. There was but a small supply of all descriptions of fresh Grain in this morning, owing to the boisterous state of the winds.—Fine samples of Wheat maintain last Monday's prices, but little is doing in any other sorts. Barley remains without alteration : Beans and Pease fully Support our last quotation, and remain withput any variation— the quantity in Market being but small. In Flour there is dull sale. The business in the Market is rather slack. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, OCT. 7.—Our Hop Market has been rather dull the last two or three days ; the best sa►nples support their prices, but the middling sort (particularly Bags) are unsale able. FOr prices we refer to our last week's quotation. VfIEOIIY OF TiIUNDEIC AND LlGHTNlNG.Phi losophers are now agreed that the cause of thunder is the same with that which produces the ordinary phenomena of electricity. So great indeed is their resemblance, that thunder and lightning cannot be regarded as any other than a grand species of electri city naturally produced without the feeble eflOrts of art. This fluid is, probably, at all times diffused through the whole at mosphere, either, in a greater or smaller degree, and is oc, casionnally, rendered perceptible to our senses by a certain concurrence of natural circumstances. A cloud in a thun der storm may be regarded as a great conductor, actually insulated and electrified, and it may be supposed to have the same effect upon the non-electrics which it meets with in its course, as the common conductors have upon such as are presented to them. If, then, a cloud of this description meets with one which is either not elec trified or less so than itself, the electric matter flies off from all parts towards this cloud. Hence proceed flashes of lightning and the formidable report of thunder. Thunder -storms, says Beccaria, generally happen when there is little or no wind, and their first appearance is marked by one dense cloud or more, in creasing very fast in size, and rising into the higher regions of the air ; the lower surface black and nearly level, but the upper finely arched and well defined. Many of these clouds scent frequently piled one upon another, all arched fn the same man, ner ; but they keep continually uniting, swelling, and extending their arches. While the thunder cloud is swelling and extend ing its branches over a large tract of country, the lightning is seen to dart from one part of it to another, and often to illumi nate its whole mass. When the cloud has acquired a sufficient extent, the lightning strikes between the cloud and the earth, in two opposite places, the path of the lightning lying through the whole body of the cloud and branches. The longer this light ning continues, the more rare the cloud grows, and the less dark in its appearance, till at lenght it breaks in different places and displays a clear sky. A wind always blows from the plac,e whence a thunder cloud proceeds, and the wind is more or less violent in proportion to the sudden appearance of the thunder cloud, the rapidity of its expansion, and by the velocity with which the adscititton of such a prodigious quantity of vapour is occasioned, the air must be displaced and agitated on all sides, R'
