CHATHAM, Nov. 2G.

The several Volunteer Companies, of this town.
will be inspeeed, to-morrow, by Colonel Twysden,
in compliance with the General Order issued by
His Royal Highness the Duke of York.
Yesterday morning, between seven and eight
o'clock, a foot-race, between a gentleman of Ro-
chester and a serjeant of the Guards, for a wager of
two guineas, was decided on the road between the
Star, on Chatham-hill, and Rainbow. The distance
run was four miles. The Rochester gentleman was
the winner; he ran over the irst two miles in twelve
minutes and a half, and the four miles is little more
than twenty-seven minutes. This gentleman, we
understand, has been engaged frequently in pedes-
trian exercises, and invariably makes use of the
very singular ceremony of flogging himself with a
small riding-whip, which, on such occasions, he
always carries with him while running, and applied
the lash with such severity to his legs, that the blood
absolutely trickled down his stockings.
The Resolution, of 74 guns, after having undergone
a good repair, was to have been taken out of dock,
at this yard. on Saturday, but at high water she was
found to have leaked so much, that it was judged
prudent to keep her in another tide to stop it. On
Sunday, the riggers and ordinary were in the yard
ready to take her out, but the tide was not high
enough to float her, she must therefore remain in
dock till the *eat spring tides.
The Misers is ordered for a thorough repair; is
about three months she will be ready for service ;
this is the ship considered some little time ago at
Jamaica as unfit for service, and doubted if she
would ever leave the island. Gangs of shipwrights
are daily employed, raising the frame of the lA.-
genus frigate, also on the Impregoalde. The Resolu-
tion is fitted with rollers for her cablts in the hawse-
holes, on a new plan. One of our wet docks is un-
dergoing a complete repair.
A ship of 74 guns, to be called the Rouslay, is to
be built without delay, on the slip from whence the
Fosse was a short time since Lunched, at the King's
yard, at Deptford.

WifigE@ENIMISMat
The seamen of the Fearegani, of 84 guns, Vice-
Admiral Sir TUOMAS Ga AWLS, now at sea, out of
gratitude, and in testimony of regard to Mr.
P • , Midshipmen of that ship, when last in
Plymouth, unanimously voted him An elegant naval
sabre, of the value of slaty guineas, for his huma-
nity in a late cruise, when it was blowing hard, in
saving the lives of three seamen, who had, by ac-
cident, fAUen overboard, by jumping into the sea,
and keeping them afloat till more assistance put off,
by his personal exertions, and at the risk of his life.
Ihe Sea lencildes at Kinsale. Courtmasherry,
and Oysterhaven, together with their Officers, all
under the command of Capt. O'Nzi 14. N. have,
with a humane and creditable feeling, subscribed
one day's pay each (Amounting to 431.) for the re-
lief of the Widows and Children of the brave fel-
lows who fell in the Glorious Viftory of the Ulst
Oftober. The sum has been remitted to Rear Ad-
miral Woossszy, to Dublin, to be 1-rwarded to
LLOYD'S Coffee-house, London.
