MOLES ) of the Diamond Frigate, gave a Ball and Supper to the Ladies, and the distinguished Officers of the Navy and Army at this Port. The elegantly deco rated ball-room on the quarter-deck displayed the taste of the noble Captain. Among the colours which lined the awning, the Royal Standard was most conspicuous. Capt. ARGLES opened the ball with the wife of a distinguished brother Officer, and the dancing con tinued,_ with scarce any intermission, until tour o'clock the next morning, when, after partaking of some refreshment in the Captain's cabin, the whole party evinced their loyalty by ac tompanying Captain Attou.s . most excellent nand God Save tit' ,Kizte ." after which they de parted amidst the cheers of the gallant crew, who seemed as much delighted with the gay scene as the , spirited clanfras. During Supper many loyal toasts were giveu,,and received with the loudest applause. In_ short,. nothing could surpass the taste and hospi tality of 'the. gallant entertainer, or the gaiety and oatiscattiou of the party entertained.

SLIOCKING , We ye4terdaY Menti o ned, tiiaf al)ont na:r past three e•cldck yesterday morning, two lionse's in Harp.; alleyi,l'oref‘etratt i which have for som e ti me past been in a state of decay, fell with a tremendous crash to the ground, and, we are concerned to state, bu ried a ntiiuber of the unfortunate inmates in the - ruins. - The houses comprised a part of the pre- mises of an adjoining Public-house, le own by the name of the Kentish- by, and rented by Mr. Wea 7 therelt, the landlord, for th e purpo se o f l o d g i ng t h e ' poorer sort of people, such as soldier& and labouring men, and in which he and his family generally slept. • The neighbours, with the greatest alacrity, assembled; and, having obtained tools for the purpose,. began to dig for the unhappy s u ff erers , w h om they heard calling for assistance from various parts of the ruins in tones of the most agonizing distress. On summing up the lodgers, there were found Missing, Weatherelt (the landlord), hiS wife, son, and daughter; Farrow and son ; Hutton (a soldiery his wife and daughter - Fitzgerald (a soldier belong tng to the Tower), his• wife. and • daughter; Po cock (a soldier), his wife, and a young woman about fourteen, years of age, their relation; Mrs. White and three children ; Mrs, Darlington and two chit dren ; William Rider, a cooper; Mr. Lacy, his wife, and two daughters, making in all twenty-seven persons. Weatherelt, his wife, and son, fell from the up per story, and we r e f oun d nearly together in the ruins, where the cries of the two latter had brought the people to their relief. The husband was taken Out quite dead, and in a mutilated state, by the side of his wife; the son and-wife were both, bruised, but not so as to endanger their lives. Weatherelt took to his room, the night before, upwards di 25 guineas, which also were, found, and restored to the wife. The distressing cries of the daughter were heard for several hours before she could be released from her miserable situation in one of the lo•.vcr apartments - ) covered with several loads of rubbish when she was dragged from her prison she was al t most bent double, and severely bruised, but no bones were broken, . She paid little attenti o n t o her own injuries, but was inconsolable till she heard her fa mily were all out of danger. The death of her- fa t ther the workmen 'kept from her, - , until she was . sufficiently composed to bear the news. When her mother was brought to her, a most affecting scene vas witnessed : the girl flew into her arms in the greatest extaey, and it was with difficulty they could be separated. She fainted several times with excess Of sensibility. Farrow and his son escaped, at The back of -the house, before it fell, having been warned by a crack ing they heard. Mrs. White and her children escaped unhurt. Mrs. Darlington was a widow; leer husband ) an Artilleryman, was killed by accident at Wool wich last year; herself and two children fell a cons siderable height, and were completely involved in' the ruins; she had strength enough, by calling out, to attradt the workmen to the spot where they were immured. When she was taken out she made shocking lamentations for her children, which. at this time had not been found. Although naked, and severely mangled, the poor woman would not quit the ruins till she had learned the fate of her . offspring ;---.her infant, about ten months old, was soon found, without the least signs cif life ; she' fondly caressed its remains, and bitterly wept its sad fate. The other was also shortly found, and; though much bruised; is likely to recover ; the mother accompanied' .it to St.• Dunstan's Work house, where - all those repaired who were hot clan , gerously wounded, in order to be accommodated with ap[rrel. , - Lacy, his wife and one &tighter, were much bruised in their bodies,% . but their. recovery is 'not doubted ; the other daughter was found quite dead. Near to the dead body Was duo - our Pocock's rela tion j the young girl was pennell up for four hours in a confined place, under some timber which de fended from her body a quantity of brick and rub , bish, that otherwise would soon have destroyed her. In ' this situation, she cried out incessantly until she was. relieved. A Mr. Swin, a bakei in the neighbouthood, wino. had persevered several hours to release her, was severely bruised by the falling of a stack of chimnies, which had been- left stand ing, and he had also the Misfortune` to have ,his thumb broken, , . The rest of the .people were all found, and taken .from their miserable abodes by nine o'clock, and are all likely to recover froth the bruises they received.— The only deaths are, Weatherelt, Lacy's daughter, .and ;firs. Darlington's child. Pocock, it afterwards appeared ) , bad been On guard all : night, and escaped -- his share .of the• acci dent. . t•. V7henit tOnstclepa that to the 'dumber of 22 -persons were buried under the ruins , „it seems'al •most a miracle that three persons only should have lost their lives, and no limbs should be biOken.— There is no doubt, however, that several lives were. • saved through the uncommon exertions . of the neigh bOurs and workmen, w h o volunteered. their services to dig out the unfortunate sufferers. Their huma nity on the occasion deserves to be recorded. About a ihrtnight prior to this accident a Surveyor was em- Wye(' to examine the houses, who gave it as his opi nion that they would stand for 14 years at least. • No signs of falling appeared until Thursday night, when the yard attached to Weatherelt's house seemed a good deal shrunk ; but, when it was noticed it did . not excite alarm, as great reliance was placed oa• the Surveyor's opinion. As the poor people have lost every thing they possessed, it is hoped that some of our charitable institutions will take their unfortunate cases into consideration, and afford them such assist ance as 'their necessities require. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a tre mendous explosion took place in a house in Eagle court, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, owing to a private still bursting in the kitchen, which da , maged the premises- very much : the lodgers in the house-ran into the street. The kitchen was occu pied by a person of the name of Williams, who ran away. The ,Excise Offiers were sent for, who - seized on the materials, and a quantity of wash. On Monday week a chimney-s‘ieeper, who has a plurality of wives (three), sold one of these spare ribs to a prdener, for 3s. 6d. at the market-cross in Ponterraa, where, according M the customary etiquette, she *as delivered in a bake,. POLICE. OW-STEEnT.-=-Yesterday Messrs. BOND, G'‘)/4,,f HAINi-, and READ, the three Magistrates belonging tO the above Office, held an adic: irned. Petty Sessions, for the:purpose o f grant i t g i:enses to the Vi6tual• lers of the parishes of Covet', Garden and St. Ma tin's,in the Fields. Those who had been refused on the Wit day; on account ..of their houses being wholly dem-11.d to the sale of spirituous liquors, were re=considered by the Magistrates ; when some of fin`ei, respectable security' to alter theit condua, their liVe'iiseg .were renewed, and those of others were refused, This will operate as a se'verclosg to the - landlOrds i One of whom lately gave t 9,001. to go into a house but however had it may be upon the individuals, it is necessary that what are generally trined gin -shops should be suppressed, being so extremely injurious to the lower class of society: MURDER OF ANN‘WEST, duds WIIITERFLOOD. - Our readers will recolle& the barbarous murder of this young woman; a sort-time since, in Higler's lane, near the King's Bench Prison: Yesterday a young man, who was brought from the Borough, by desire of Mr. GRAHAM, underwent a long examination before that Magistrate, on sus picion of being the murderer. .We understand the grounds of suspicion are some expressions which he made use of, in the presenCe of two witnesses, rela tive. to his knowledge of the murder. • Thp Prisoner, in his defence, said, if he did use the expressions be is charged with, he was intoxi cated and did not know what he said. • He was ordered to remain in close confinement, at the Brown Bear public-house, opposite the Otßee. HOUSEBR EAKTRS. At a late ,hour on Sunday night the house of Mr. Gairns, in TOttenham-court-road, was broke open, and robbed of 220 pieces of Irish linen, mus lin, dimities, and other property, to the atilount of upwards of 800]. _ Information being given of the robbery at the Office, and the watchman near the•houSe describ ing two men Whom he saw near the spot, on the , night of the robbery, the ,Officers had no doubt of their being the men, as they answered the deserip tion of and Ned Edwards, two notorious housebreakers, and they have been in pursuit of them all the .weeL Yesterday young Cracker, R. Limberirk, and Blackman, were attending at the Old BAiley, to give evidence upon some trials, and on their going into th&Bail Dock, they tbund these ma fellows con versing with their wives, who • had just been eon viUed of uttering forged bauk-notes: The Officers took them into custody, and in the evening they' were examined before Mr. Grt n , The watch man attended, and identified the person of Keily. • Edwards, on being called upon to givit an account of himself; told. a tale about his being a hawker and pedlar ; but Rivett, in answer, said, he was one of the most notorious housebreakers in EnB•LancL They were committed,for further examination. • On Monday next (Sunday being St. Matthew's Day), according to annual custom s the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriff's, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, :viii attend Divine Seivice at Christ Church. After a Sermon preached by the, R ev . R OB . GUTCH, , A. M. Fellow of Queen's College; Cam bridge, they will repair to the Great 'Hall, in Christ's Hospital, where two Orations' will be delivered—in Latin by JaMes Scholetield, and in English by Chris topher Wilson, the two senior scholars of the Gram ! mar School. . The Quakers in the States of Pennsylvania, and New York ; in America, having contemplated the objea of assisting the Native Indians in introducing among them the comforts of civilized life, appointed a deputation of their members ) with the concurrence of the American Secretary of State, to confer with some of the Indian Chiefs for that purpose, which, after several conferences, has so far succeeded, that some plots of land in the Indian Settlement are cultivated; and the trades of smiths, carpenters, weavers, &c. are learned and learning by the natives. Some Friends, from the,above States have resided amongst .them at different times, to teach them the pradice of hus bandry, and other useful occupations to defray the „expence of which, and to purchase implements of husl;andry, and Mechanical tools, a liberal subscrip tion has been made by the Friends in America ; and IrOni a desire to extend the benevolent design further among the Indian Tribes, the Quakers in this nation have made sulscriptions ; and in Leeds, we are well informed, a considerable sum has been subscribed for the same laudable purpose. An ,inquest was taken last week at Dursley, on the body of John Vpin, aged 84 (a pauper in the Work house there), who hanged himself on the Saturday preceding to the sßan-beam in his bed-chamber. It appeared that this unfortunate man was one of the six marines seleiled to shoot the late Admiral BYNG, and had often been heard to say, he was sure his ball killed him. In consequence of his deranged state of mind the verdi6t was Lunacy. • , Wednesday evening, as Win. Warren, waggoner to Mr. WHITE, of Warminster, was driving hi s mas ter's 'waggon from thence to Giles's-hill Fair, he fell off the shafts near Salisbury • the wheels went over' him, and he was most severely bruised. He was taken to the Salisbury Infirmary, and one Parker was hired in his place ; but ere he had proceeded many miles; Parker also fell from the wsiggon, near Win terslow Hut, and had one of his legs broken, and was otherwise much bruised. In this state he lay on the road nearly six hours; at length he was. taken up, and brought to the Infirmary almost lifeless from lying so long in , the wet ; but there are now hopes of his recovery. Tuesday se l nnight W. King, of Addershury, who was going to be married to Miss Williams, was taken into custody but a few yards from th e c h urc h-d oor, for leaving a former family chargeable at Adders bury. His intended bride had just entered the chtirch. The very great Sale of Tickets and Shares in the ensuing Lottery may be easily accounted for, there being 5000 less Tickets and more Capital. Prizes than last Lottery. The Ad of Parliament authorises the licensed Offices to appoint any persons as their Agents to sell (without a licence) Tickets and Shares in every city, town, and village, in the United Kingdom. This. new regulation has increased the sale-beyond all for mer Lotteries. ~~
