THE Meeting held at the Fort yesterday, pur.
suant to public Advertisement, was numerously.it_
tended; and several hundred persons gave in their
names to serve under tiptaio .PlEltltlit'ONT', as.
Sea-Fencibles, for the Defence' of thk Toivn'and'
Distriet. It seems to be the opinion, that the num.'
her of persons who will'eiiroll theTnselves in this

THE TIiTATRI.—The 'Comedy of, jokri Bull,
as usual, attradeci a numerous- audience last night
at Covent.:Gatden Theatre, and was followed, by
the operatic entertainment of Marian,' for the pur-
pose of giving new scope_ to the .vocal powers of
MOKTIMER in the heroine of the Piece.—
This Lady will certainly be a great support to the
musical department 'of the Stage. Her chief merit
however„ at present , is in. the plaintive style of
singing, and though she acquitted herself very well
in one of MIS. BILLINGTON'S celebrated bra-
.unra airs, yet her divisions were not given.
with that articulate rapidity to which the. pub.
lie ear has been accustomed in the exertions of„
that great performer. We, therefore, advise .iVkiss.
MORTIMER to keep to the Adagio style, till she,,
is more pralised in the art, and, we doubt not,,,that.
in due time, she will acquire variety of excellence. .
The Music Meeting at Worcester concluded lasts

Three hundred younw,tit'o,
.inhAbirants of the
town of Stratford.upon Avon, have offered their
services as a Volu»teer Corps; 'And have "enrolled
themselves under the auspices; of, the- Marquis of
HERTFORD.

On Wednesday morning, at six 4'cloCk, the third
regiment of Loyal London VOnnteers; commanded
by Lieutenant Colonel Ks NsINGToN, assembled. at
Bridewell, from whence they marched to Higlibury
Barn to• breakfast. At this place the. Light-In-
fantry Company separated from the rest of the Corps,
and assumed the chraeler of a French army, being
(for the sake of discinetion) in their drill dresses.
The Light Infantry were then pursued by the re..
minder of the Regiment along the side of the New
River and to the left of Hornsey Wood, at the back
of which a very heavy .feting was kept up by both
parties ; but -a,strong detachment having been sent
out 'from the battalion, in order to take the enemy
in the rear, they were obliged to make a: precipi-
tate retreat, firing, sometimes on their bellies, and
from hedges and ditches, until they arrived at
Hornsey Church, which was now converted into a
castle, and the colours were fastened to,the weather
cock on the tower. The Light Infantry then ar-
ranged themselves round the .church-yard, anti hav-
ing made a rapid movement, they had time to clean
their pans, and affix new flints, before the arrival
of their pursuers, who now surrounded the church.
yard, and commenced a tremendous firing on every
side, which was returnedlirthe garrison from off
the tower and from the Willis' of the church-yard.
Things remained in this star-C.46r near a quarter of
an hour, when`the Grenadiers' having discovered a
small gate which Was Open, they rushed in, disarm.
ing and driving the garrison in all direCtions. To
save the place from being taken by storm, a flag of
truce was ,now dispatched, hostilities ceased, and an
honobrable capitulation was granted. The whole
then marched to Highbury to dinner, and with the
health of The KM° they drank oblivion to their
brawls.

The day was beautiful, and it was after seven in
the evening before the Regiment dictnisbed in Fins-
buty.square. We have' nor heard (if any serious
accideot, excepting to one Gentleman, who had a
bayonet Mit through his band.
