BRIGUI Glv, AOCVST IS.

At eight o'clock this morning the drain beat to
VOW. and the troops commenced marching to New-
market Hill, and were for.ped into into by ten
o'clock.. Major BLOOMFIELD% troop of fl} inn Ar-
tillery,and the 4tit dragoons from Lewes, 'luta the
fish Inniskillen horse from Blightoa, and the Lewes
heavy artillery, amounting to near 2000 horse ;
the Royal South Gloucester, the Monmouth and
Brecon, Dorset, and South Hants militia, amount.
ing to '2OOO infantry. •They took their stations
nearly as on the former Review. Main &cron-
e may's flying artillery took the right of the line of
cavalry, arid the South Gloucester militia took the
right of the infantry, and the heavy artillery to
their Pt. Earl Bratitet.ev, as Commander of the
South Gloucester, accompanied by Earl CRAVEN,
came on the ground
,at half past ten. At eleven
o'clock Major- neneral Huoreow, accompanied by
General Hunor.csrois, of Lewes, and the Duke of
Bcauroa r, arrived on the ground. The I)nke
complimented Earl Burman, on the very hand-
some and military appearance of the regiment.
The skirmishing then commenced ; the flying artil-
lery and cavalry covering the retreat of the infan-
try : they then formed in lines, and went through
their different mancenvres with the greatest prompti-
tude and readiness,and gave the highest satisfaction to
their different Commanders: they are to be mustered
on the same ground on Tuesday, preparatory to the
grand review on Friday, when His Royal Highness
the Commander-in-Chief is expeCted to review all
the troops on the Sussex coast. The earliness of the
hour prevented many from atteialing. Jest as it
was over, a nemerous cavalcade of donkiee appeared,
mounted by beaus and belles, and headed by a very
large Gentleman, with a very bright pair of spurs,
which reached the hoofs of the humble steed; it was
a most laughable exhibition, and caused much sport.
About twelve o'clock, the PRINCE, holding Miss
Say uouß by the hand, walked on the Steyne, a con-
siderable time, the music playing over Mr. DONALD-
SON'S Library, and all the fashioa of the place at-
tending. The capture of the Blare a cats,ed extreme
uneasiness to the Earl of BERKELEY and his family.
His Lordship's second son, the ;Inn lst AL It ICE Faa-
oeaicw
FITZHAREithO BILINELF Y. Ir.:ing a \lidship
man on board her. An express was dispatched
by his Lordship to Admiral MONT A .UIS. at Ports-
mouth. The messengee retuoted with the pleasing
intelligence that the young Gentleman is safe, but a
prisoner. The poney rare, which should have taken
place this day, is postponed until to morrow, on
account of one of the Gentlemen being obliged to
go to Lewes.
The Prance had a small party to dinner after the
Review. Major BLOOM rum° is gone to Eastburne,
and returns to-morrow night to Brighton. The
Theatre is crowded ; the Dance was changed to
the Drew-head. The Duke and Duchess of M• a
BOROUGH, Earl BLICKLLEY, Eatl and Miss Calla/ N,
Lady Fosa escux, and the Hon. bliss Eoatescer,
Countess of Cc Aar, the Earl of DA 'nazi-, Lord
PLEZILSH AM, and Mrs. BLOOMFIELD, were there.
A marquee has been pitched opposite Mrs. Bue-
na/do's shop on the Steyne, this morning, for the
exhibition of a fish, caught about four le.ti:es from
this, and considered by •10. fishermen a very great
curiosity ; they call it - Sun-fish. It is the size of a
very large turbot, and much the same shape; no
tail, bet a broad fin and two flaps, like a turtle, and
a very small mouth, and no teeth. There have been
many visitors to see it.
AUGUST 24.
At eight o'clock this morning the troops mustered
as yesterday, and went through the same exercise,
and will continue to do so until the arrival of the
Duke of Yost. The donkey race was ag.lio post-
poned, and caused much disappointment. Earls
Brat LLEY and CIAVIN, and Lord Tt:uctow, dined
with the Pa sect to-day. Between five and six
o'clock this evening, the firing of glens made a bustle
lis e. It proved to be the La It, mommee frigate, which
lad conic to anchor in the Roads, about three miles
distant, and a brig and cotter passing b 7, steering
to the windward, and not answering signals, the
/ • Renammer firel six shots at them, and brought
them to. It is suppposed they were smugglers;
they could perceive by the telescope that they were
in great confusion on board. Captain Verso's, of
the 17th Regiment, is just arrived in his coach and
four at the Castle. Lord WI tin am Russets went
to town yesterday, an Express having arrived to
him with the account of Earl J ERSLT'S sudden
death.
The Play last night was under Lady WILLIAM
RUSSELL'S patronage, for the benefit of Miss SEARL.
The entertainments were, A Cure for the Mort-Ache,
Tom *Numb tie Great, and dancing. The hornpipe
by Mr. Coe SYN'S pupil of eight years old, was re-
ceived with bursts of applause. Mr. CORZYN was
present withtwenty more of his pupils. Miss E. neve-
T ON, who made so successful a Mot in the Ferry,
was the great little hero of the peice, and received
mitch and deserved applause ; every chArafter was
oirpoqed, the dresses splendid, and the piece
pronsiccs to he a lasting favourite. The Countess of
Be a itecey and three of her sons, Mrs. FITZI4III
SUET, And Mi;s Szy mous, were in the Poona's
box. The Countess of CLARE, Admiral and Mts.
IsTaot.e, Mr. G. Joisessecie and family were also
present. The house overflowed with fashionables ;
the prevailing head dress was a pink veil suspended
from the back part of the head over the comb, and
had a very good effect. Colonel Mastro had a
small diluter parry to-day.

The Cavalry of the garrison at Ipswich were re-
viewed by Lieutenant General Sir JA NILS Puts[-
N v, on Tuesday last, and on Saturday he was to
review tile fibrin y.
A young Ctergyman of Northampton, hanged
himself on Wednesday. Disappointment at not
beissg pet-erred in the Church, is said to have Leen
the cause of this rash aft.
An ohl miser, musing on his riches acquired by
dint ot case aid industry, took his ring and wrote
on
the window, " Time and I agaia►t any two ;"
which an ext-ayagant young spark afterwards ob-
serving, wive und.sr it, " Chance and 1 against

As Mrs. Thornton was exercising her mare early
on Thursday morning, she again displayed her su-
perior skill as an horse-woman, by extricating her-
self from the most perilous situation ; for, on com-
ing in at full speed, the mare bolted opposite to the
Grand Stand, and made towards the railing ; and,
before Mrs. T. could manage the mare, one of its
fore-feet was literally wider the railing, over which
she must have been inevitably precipitated, had she
not turned the mare, which she effeeted, notwith-
standing the silock sustained, which had nearly
thrown her from the saddle. It was allowed by
every one present, that tew Jockeys could have es.
tric sted themselves in a similar predicament. The
Jockey who rode against her, was nearly thrown off
also.

several gentlemen present itnmediately said they
knew Mr. Dickson of Anton's Hill, and that thin
gentleman arrested was not he. Lord 'Belhaven,
Mr. Ramsay, banker, of Edinburgh, and others, cos •
firmed this. Mr. Allen still pet sisted in the :mist,
and the bailiff was quite passive, and aded by his
diretion. Some of the gentlemen than refers-4 Co
