One of those carriages that arrived last night,
brought the very amiable Countess of Canuaste-
Tom to the Marl of BARS sr stous's house, from her
seat at Paine's Hill, Surrey; her Ladyship is much
indispmed. The Countess of Cr.seetosr Was to
♦isit her this afternoon.

The Theatre was very crowded last evening.
The Gloucester Militia in their new uniform played
the whole of the night by desire of the fair pa-
troness. Mrs. FITTHERRIAT entertained several
of the Nobility that honoured the Theatre with their
presence at supper. During the evening some
very heavy cannonading was heard at a very
great dist.tnce, but nothing could be learned
until this morning. It is said that the firing was off
Bolilnane I that 300 if the enemy's hoots had got
ow; and that this information was received by the
tslegraph from Hastings, end communicated to
2,4rIC4AVVN. Our cruisers are alt on the alert,
and can frequently he seen from the tops of the hills,
which are now crowded with spetiators. The Lieu-
tenant at the telegraph never leaves his station one
instant —the most vigilant watch is kept. At
nine this morning, the fishermen were all as-
sembled at the West Battery to fire at a mark
from the great guns. Earl Ca vtN, the Capt.
of the Cesset sloop, and several officers, were pre-
sent. 'l'ne lost gun fired was only half loaded, and
that with waddiss7. not bail, it carried two miles
and a quarter. All the windows of the houses at
the back of t! 'e ba•tesey were opened, for the shock
is so great, th it without that precaution they would
be broken. The Captain having given leave to the
crew of the Curia to come on shore, the donl.:1.1
wore in great demand—and the honest tars canter-
ed over the downs as happy as Kings. The day is
charming, and myriads of pleasure boats are on the
water. Mr. G. JO:INSTOPI sports a beautiful new
bareuehe. The Earl and Countess of Bratteaav,
attended by three servants, took as airing in their
eurricle and p.dr ; the music played over Mr.
Dow Atmore's library, which was crowded with
Company.
Eleven ie1.,44 —The entertainments at the The-
atre are just concluded; they were, Laugh Oro yea
coo, Tio Salea”, and a new pantomime, called The
Pirrromeseer. It was Mr. J. BRUNTON'S benefit,
and honoured with the patronage of the Duchess
of MARLBOROUGH. Mr. J. BRUNTON'S Gossamer
was much applauded, and Miss Bisuierms's fine
figure appeared to great advantage in the
beautiful dress of Reza/ans. The Pai.tomirner
was got up with great care, and very well received.
A charming little girl, not seven years old, was
brought forward neither as lio•lrquim nor Cduw6tor.
but, as she should be, in the I%,,tre. I believe die
is Mr. nItUNTON'S daughter, and was as well re-
ceived as if she had been eletard a Rovcia. The
Duke ant Duchess of Marti.suitot oir stayed
the whole performance. The house was crowded.
