sourmowi ON, Su rnisca 1.

A number of flying artillery yesterday arrived in
this town, under a strong escort ; its de.tination was
vaiionsly reported to be fox Weymouth, and for the
Islands of Alderney and Sark.
'l'he town is very full, all lodging-houses are en-
gaged, except a very few upon the largest scale.
Mrs. Siddons is still at the seat of 'V. Fitz'iugh,
sq. in this neighbourhood, but is not to assist Nlr.
Collins, at our Theatre, whose offered attranions
continue to meet with suitable remuneration.

The Earl of Cavan has purchased the 'rower
Ntansion on the south west bank of the Southampton
iver, and is tiow putting the whole of that fanciful
re.idence into high order.
Two great matches of horses against time, are at
present the subject of public expeetation here. Toe
one for 100 guineas is, to run two miles in six mi-
nutes ; the other for 50 guineas, the same distance
in seven minutes.

Last Thursday a most praise-worthy contention
took place in this town between the bakers, who,
through the medium of the public crier, sold bread
to the poor at 17d. Itid. and 15.1. per gallon, at
which price it continued to be somewhat perma-
nently sold. A large quantity both of bread and
Hour was of course in speedy demand.
The market of this town is equally &serving
of commendatory report and of imitation in other
parts of this county. Fish has been plentiful and
very reasonable; red mullets sold at 83. per dozen;
bacon by the half flitch 61 single pound tild. ;
poultry has been abundant, and at easy prices; new
butter 12d. per pound.

a State Lottery, since the first establishment of

the present, which begins Drawing the 21:h of next
Month. (7lutis and Societies will not fail to take
advantage of so grand a Scheme. It is, besides
the only• Lottery to be drawn this year : and, when-
ever that has been the case, many instances may be
adduced where there have been more Tickets sha-ed,
before the drawing commenced, than the whole
number of Tickets contained in the present Lottery,
exclusive of the number sold in whole Pickets.
Hoitrisay and Cu. take the liberty to stare thesz
fads, in hopes to prevent their friends from delaying
their purchases, which must lead either to total di..
appointment, or, at least, to very gte it increase of
price. Orders by letter or carrier executed on the
Same terms as if present.—N. B. All priaes, whether
