ii!fantile Per,firmers are springing up

that we might almost expeetintimeto have a literal

Mrs. ,111LLINGTOIV, whom the Public Prints have
sent to various places, is still recruiting ,her health
at Ittunsgatei hut is soon to quit it, in order to lend
her powerful assistance • to the Musical Festival at

As it is natural to expect thaf the present .j0y0,..1s
ferment in, the public mind will not easily subside,
the Manager of Vauxhall Gardens may think himself
peculiarly fortunate, becai4se it Will afford him many
opportunities of testifying, his loyalty, which is so
much in unison with that of tie people at large. 'rho
re3tivities of -Wednesday evening- will, therefore,
doubtlesg, be repeated for many, days with undimi-
nished brilliancy, and the
_consequence will be a
nightly overflow of the Treasury.

'the Earl of BANBURY two of them. The detac!l -
mem on Denmark Hll. was
_attacked by th
main body of General Wurritx!;4's Corp':, whi::
his Cavalry; with one , gun, and a Corps of , Sharp
Shooters,.made a detour by Grove-lane, Dog-kennel-
lane, Lordship-lane, and by the Green Man, to cut
off, the, retreat of Lord BANBURY'S party at Denmark
Hill;and afterwards his main body at gulwion
Goni-
mon. •

• The detachment on Denmark Hill was forced to
retire by the Corps which threatened its right, and
the heavy Ciannonadin2;:of General WitII.IIAINI'S guns
in front. They retired by the right to a second posi-
tion oa Denmark Hill, in front of a row .of houses..
Here they were duly able to make a' short stand, be-
ing annoyed by Gen. WHITIIAM'S CaValry and Sharp
Shooters, who were originally detached from Cant
berwell,- up GroVe-Jane, to attack the Enemy's right,
whilst the right and centre Columns took the greit
road over Champion Hill to threaten their left. Lord
BANBURY'S piquet was now forced down Green-laic
towards Dulwich.

The attacking party having thus drove their ad-
versary from their strong holds,' they took refuge in
the village of Dulwich, and for a long time kept
possession, but were at lest attacked in two quar-
ters, and fearing they should be flanked by the de-
tachment of horse and the ,gun that had gone round
by Green-lane, they quitted the town, formed on
the Heath in a line, and'sent out a field-piece, with
a strong piquet and skirmishers, to annoy the enemy'
in forming, on leaving the town of Dulwich, which
they now possessed. Lord BANBURYIB piquet,
field-piece, and skirmishers, having been drove in
by, the out detachments of the enemny, their horse
scoured the front, . and thereby saf,:ly brought in a
field-piece to annoy; whilst the troops under General
WRIDnAm advanced iu two columns, and formed a
line opposite to that of their enemy's.
A. general engagement now took place,- and for
nearly an hour the Corps were exposed to each
other's fire at a very short distance : they-did not fire
either by companies or battalions, but every man as
fast as he could load his piece. I The party which
had hitherto been attacking and advancing, at last
gave way, and retired, when the others were de-
clared victors. The whole of the Corps then passed
the Earl of llAttamotoNT in open column, and ,i-
-luted ; after which they took a repast on the ground,
each Regiment having provided for themseive3.
At the entrance of the Common,a large Marquee
was pitched, in which the Earl and Countess of llan-
INGTON, Lady ANNE MARIA. STA NUO PE, Lord
BANBURY, General WHITIIAM, Cell.[NUM,
Cob GORDON,. and several other persons of ditinc-
tion, partook of a cold collation. Great numbers of
spedatori were present
