MARGATE, SEPT. 28.

The decline of the season but too visibly appears
hi this place. Our visitors are-decreasing very fa'st,
and the melancholy information of ""To let," ap-
pears inthe windows of most ofour lodging houses;
The first‘rate apartments, however, are in general
still occupied, so that we are in hopeS W'e shall not==
wholly be deserted in the autumnal Season.'
are still the rage. Ramsgate hat been croudeil on
such occasions. KIDMAN has amply had his iiirare:
The Theatre has been but faintly patronized,
though the dramatic corps are well entitleti to 'pro-
teClion. The benefit nights have been unfortunate
indeed--,a circumstance much to be regretted, tii ibis
is A great• source of hope and expealation to the-
-
Thespian train. LE BAS has heed induced by the
gloomy weather to defer his intended Ball at Dande-
lion, to the-disappointment of many who came from
Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Canterbury, &c. Captain
KIDD took away from us no less than a hundred pas-
sengers this morning.

SHERIDAN-.has been unjustly accused of
having acted a double part, by the faCtiotis berna-
gOgues Who aspire to the honour, of : duping the
EleCtors of Westminster. Mr. SHERIDAN). iil • his
late excellent Speech at Crown and Anchor,
elfeabally justified his own tonduet-;' but theibe-
magOgues alluded-to want to gain a :little notoriety,,
and therefore have made the most.gross misrepre-
xeotation of what he has said and done: With a 'deep
sense of friendship and delicacy he refrained-from all
attempts tending towards canvassing the City Of West-
minster White Mr. Fox was living, and hence 111:-!ny
persons who would have given him their support,
hot being aware of his intentions, had promised it
to Earl PEaclt ; and the powerful interest of' that
Nobleman forbade Mn -SHERMAN to hope that
a strong contest would not have been the result if
he had persevered.—ln . order, therefore, to avoid
disturbance, at a time when the utmost cordialito§.
`requisite among all parties, he waved !jai preceliSions.
in favour of a young Nobleman, who comes for-
ward with the recommendation of talents, property,
and an unimpeachable character.--Such has 'been
the -:.liberal and truly patriotic part which Mr:
SHERIDAN has aCted, and which has drawn upon
him the charge of duplicity from men who have
either not understanding enough to perceive the
merits of candour and uprightness in public conddet,
or too much malevolence to suffer them to pass with-
btit rancorous defamation. '

'The fespeEt we bear towards the City of West:-'
htinster induces us to recur to the subje& of the
Meeting on Friday last at the Crown and Atichor:
The per:lons who so Confidently attempt to lead the
Elecrtors are, with.' very few exceptions; hone but
low, ignorant, and turbulent then, who wish to hear
themselves talk, pticl to see their names in the public
The general aspen of the auditors indeed;
proved how little these upstart Zli'frtiders are re:-
speaed, for there were very few decent charaeter§
in the r00m..--The general style Of the harangues
was common-place • sentiment, unmeaning tieelama;
tiun, and most wearisome ogotism. We hopejhat
then general contempt _which has attended. those
huiders for notoriety will prevent the Public froth
being again disturbed .by their vain and senseless
clamonis.

Which is of exquisite workmanship, is Covered with
red morocco, beautifully stitched and ornamented
with yellow silk. The trappings , are. of the , fiiiest
scarlet cloth, adorned with broad silver lace, massy
tassels, and a deep fringe. The holster flaps (of the

emphatic motto " Liberte on la Mort."—the whole

taste of the Trans-Atlantic Hero

intended. This saddle and furniture, tcrgetlier with
a magnificent whip and bridle (the head-piece of
