BRIGHTON, Nevins= 6.

It wee expected that the Kiag would have takes
an airing in public to.day, bet the cloudier* of
the weather, it splicers, prevented it.
The Steyue last night, from seven to Moe
o'clock, was a scene of tumult and disorder. Ig-
nited tar-barrels sent forth • threatening blase—
' serpents and crackers spirted sparks and bounced
in all directions.. sad prancing Mines and scream-
ing females lent their full proportion of terrors to
the scene; bet • few squares of broken gloss,
which rattled from the hooter which surround the
Steyne. and • mom or so of blistered cheeks sad
fingers, include, pretty nearly, the aggregate of the
damage done. A female was sadly scotched by a
serpent, which slighted ow bee bosom, sod burst
there; bet she had courted the disaster; sad there
were scores of imprudent petticoat spectators who
did the same. At Hove, something better tbso a
mile west of this place, a fatal occident, growing
out of the same cause, the celebration of is GUM
powder Plot." occurred. A lad, named Bartlett,
the son of a gardener at Hove, levelled a pistol at
another lad, named Grove, and discharging it, to
deeply wounded him about the face and bead, that
he expired almost immediately. The wadding of
• the pistol is said to have ii.fleted the bort, bet the
melancholy event is mentioned as eotirrly of an
accidental character.
