NAVAL ANECDOTZ...4.AS Lieut. MORRELL; of
His Majesty's ship Leviathan, was last summer re.
turning from the West Indies in a weak state of
health, on board the Prince Finest Packet,r—they
were, for three days, chased by a ;vessel under
American Colours, which had signals of distress
constantly eying, and the pump water goal per-
ceived by'glasses to tome dear eat of her scuppers.;
The Captain of the Packet having dispatches of
great consequence on. hoard, positively refused to
lay to for her, lest she might prove an enemy ;
which the humanity of Mr. MORRELL was such,
that he caused himself to be let down in a small two.
oared boat, with two sailors, who volutacer.ed
join him in this daring enterprise ; and though one
hundred leagues from land, with a compass and some
'provisions rowed off to endeavour to reach the ties.
sel.—This -he luckily effe6ted ; When she proved to
he an American in the. utmost distress for the 'ne-
cessaries of life, ana was of course liberally supplied
by. the Captain of tte Packet with bread, water
and other provisions.-71-Lid she proved
,an
,enemy,
the Captain of, the Paelcet could .not have ventured
to take, Mr.. MoARr hoar-4 again.;--hence he
might have perished along with her ;7---and it is evi-
dent that he run the utmost risk of being exposed
to inevitable destration, in. case he had been una.
ble to reach her. . ,

A Ball and SUPper were given last Monday by
Lord CHOLMONDELEI', at Houghton, in, Nor-
folk; in celebration of the Peace. His Lord-
ship had previously restored the wing of the
building, which was destroyed by fire in the.
time of Lord. ORFortel, in which is one mag.
nificent room of nearly (Inc hundred feet in length..
Here 'the 'Company supped; consisting of all the
Noblemen's and Gentlemen's families in the sur-
rounding country, 'together with. PILINCE WIL-
LIAM of GLOUCESTER, and 'many of his Lordship's
friends, who came from London on the occa-
sion. The Ball began at nine o'clock ; at twelve,
Supper was announced, when the Company were-
condueted to one of the most splendid Entertainments
that taste and elegance could devise. The Room
was -very brilliantly lighted, and 'very tastefully
decorated.' In the middle of the supper-table
was a transparent painting, emblematical of the
Blessings of Peace, with the niotto—" Peace, and
long' live the King.'? After the Company had
regaled, themselves, they, again retired to the, Ball-
room ; where -the'dancing was kept up with great
spirit to a very late hour.
In the course of the day an Ox was roasted, and
distributed to the villagers, who flocked from' -all
darts of thg Country tt) witness and partake of the
festival, and testify their joy, which they did
by repeated- :and loud huzzas ; and in the evening
by 'dancing round a, very large bonfire which was
Made for them in' the Park, and rending the air
with acclarnatiOns of Peace, and Long live. the'King.
The general happiness expressed on the occasion for
'which this Me was given, is an additional proof of
the sentiments all ranks of people entertain on the
happy event of the Peace.

DiUltY-LANE,—The Duenna gave a bumper_ to
this-Theatre last night, and the Piece went off with
great eclat. Mrs. ".131ILINGON was finely in
voice, and aced with' more than. usual ease. Mrs.
Mou•NTA.ltes Carlo: is one, of her best efforts, so
far as the Songs are concerned, for the charaaer it-
self is'nothing. , OUlCK:•drew forth all his. former
skill in Little Isaac, and made the part highly di-
verting. KELLY'S new Music. to ‘‘ Oh lovely
Maid,'.' is very elegant,. and he sung it with consi-.
dOable success. -MiSs.PoPE renders Old Margaret
quite a new charaaer, and performs it with the true
tviscomtca. '

Mr. iliewkLEwts was going to publish his new
-Tragedy withdut a repieentation, but sent it to
Covent-Garden Theatre, offering the Manager an'
opportunity of performing it, 'if he chose, before it
was printed.- ...As novelty al6ne would be t ufficiene
to fill'the Theatre for one night at least, the IVlana-
-o,er gave his assent'. Reportf, however,• s7eah:s ra-
ther favourably of the Piece, and if it should suc-
ceed, the publication will of.course be delayed.
On Monday an East Incliainan,. of 800 tons bur-.
then, to be commanded by Captain ALEXANDER
NASH, but in his absence 'by- Capt. JOHN LOCKS,.
was launched from Messrs. Rat DAL and BRtwr's
yard, Rotherhithe, and named in compliment to
the 'illustrious descendant of the Great CECIL, the
Pyre of Queen ELlzasznes'days, Marchioness of
Zxeter.

considerable alteration in` our . Ba;racks; two Regi-.
menu only of Militia having left us. It. seems as
yet undetermined` what will
.be done with this ele-'.
'gant Garrison during the 'Peace. If, however, it
should not be fully occupied by regular troops, the
town is not likely to suffer much, as the manufac-
turers are setting to work every.loom, many .of
which have lain totally dormant for eight years.—
The annual fair is daily attended by immense num-
bers from the neighbouring towns, and the Norwich
Company of .Cotnedians'
'ire.. reaping a glorious
tact, the Managers. have taken uncom.:
mon pains, and been at considerable expence, `to
merit the warm. applause which they and the per_
formers receive every night. Among many causes
ftir their sOCcess, may be enumeratedi hew, and ele-
gant scenery, infinitely siiperior to any_ ever before
