MARGATE, SEPT, I I.

THERE is no abatement of the bustle and hurry
at this place, and the mere assemblage of fashionable
fugitives 'now among us would make a formidable
figure against the French ruffians, that is providk•d•
they are as fond of their' Coitatry -They are of
Pleasure. On Monday the career of ammo:tont was
resumed by a public breakfast at The Prospect
ing Green, which colleded a numerous train of our
ton Lounger:, with a good sprinkling, of Ladies.
The Theatre opened in the evening hir the benefit
of Irish JoHersToNc% The Performances were The
Surrender qf"Calai: and The Req.fiew, b4ill of
which his merit is well-known.

The success of our late Manurrade pinmpted•the
Managers of the Theatre to try another on Tuesday •
evening. The Theatre on this occasion was con.
vented into an elegant Saloon. The crowd that were
attraaed by this entertainment were motley' alai
merry, but nothing is recorded worth notice in the
way of wit or humour. SpeCtators filled the boxes
and gallery.
The same evening Mrs. 11,10 u NTAIN had a benefit
concert at KIDOMAN'N, which was partorlizld Icy
her Grace the Dutchess of Sr. ALBAN'S. A very
elegant auditory altogether gave their counteirai;ce
to the fair Songstress on this occasion.

Another public breakfast on Wednesday tr:rning
allured our pleasure-hunting tribes in numerous
groups to. Dandelion. The Theatre in the evening
gave us Tb. Poor Gentleman, for the benefit of Mr-
AsKFR, who was not rendered by its success the
Rich ,1.90 r. Colonel ANSON of the rsth Dragoons,
patronized the night and brought several of his
friends.
KIDDMAN'S Ball was the chief attrauion of
Thursday evening, and the town is so full that it
could nut fail to have a numerous attendance.

Mrs. MARTYR on Friday appeared at our Theatre
for the benefit of her daughter, and was very well
received. The Play was Abroad and at Home, and
the Farce Boa Ton. GARNER, the Librarian of this
place, performed Davi, in the latter piece with great
comic ability. He is quite the Tont Weston of 'this
town. Captain BYNG and l►is Lady zealously
patronized the Theatre on this oecasi,,n.
Mr. LE BAS, our well.known Mister of rhtt
Ceremonies, had his public morning on Sai.iirday,
Dandelion. About seven hundred persons were
present. The Dutchess of Sr. ALB A Ntlte-even.
ing again *patronized the Theatre for the benefit of
Mrs. TAYLOR. The dramatic pieces on this occasion
were Speed the Plough and The Turvike Gate. "11
Duke as well ats Dutchess of ST. ALBAN'S were
present, Lord DELAWARE, Lady HEATHCOTE, epee
Hon. Miss MANNERS, Sir HO ACE MANN, Nlr.
and Mrs. SNEYD, Mrs. CHALIER, and Mrs. BLA.
QUI ERE, a venerable silver.hair'd dame of eighty.
A Margate Correspondent of The Sun, I ►ee,
notices our Infirmary. It is, indeed, a noble losti_
tution, and deserves all he can say in its favour, nor
will our attention to Theatrical merit, or the vortex
of varied dissipation an far engage us I trust is to
prevent us from dropping a charitable mite at the
doors when the aweful edifices consecrated to our
Religion are opened for its benefit.

The Dateless of DevormitßE had.most of the
fashionable world now in town on Sunday last at
Chiswick.

Marquis CORNWALLIS is gone on a shooting
party into Suffolk.

The Earl of DARNLEY'S Corps of Cobham. Vo.
lunterrs are, thanks to the persevering zeal .of the
noble Commander and the zealous spirit of the
Corps, one of the finest bodies of Voluteers in the
kingdom.

Most of the Public Journals seem to lay claim to
great credit for having given No infurtnatiott resFr.t_
ing the Secret Expedition. This cautian is cer..
tainly very laudable, as it cannot be doubted that
they are all fully apprized of the whole of the plan.
There can, however, be no doubt, that they will
gratify 'their Readers to the utmost of their power
when the event has taken place.
The Cut RF CONSUL is so very anxious to exclude
British Manufaanres from the Continent, that it
seems as if he thought they may spread the infeaiorl
of British Principles, and it so he might have reason
to apprehend the speedy downial of 'Coritax
urann.y.

AMERICAN CR rric tsm.—The following extract
from as American Journal is so much in the style of
Mr. WtsionAtta, that if it had originally appeared
in a London Print it might he supposed that that
Gentleman hid employed himself in Theatrical
Striaures.—" Modern Authors flatter • theMseives
that they are, giving a Piaure of Nature, when they
are only drawing Caricatures of her Warts,
pies, and offensive lixerescences."--;, Or if by
chance those Dramatic Cooks and Caterers, do put
upon rho boards a Charaaer any Way like the plain
folks of this world, it is dished up like- tripe in a
tureen, tasteless, mawkish, and insipid', and rolling
in the half warm water in which it was boiled 1"

Some years ago, when the first Regiment of
Royal hditiburgh Volunteers was forming, the
Gentlemen were drilled. in various squads, and
at those who came forward on that occasion
was one of the Professors of the University. The
teamed Doctor could not comprehend the nature of
the instrudions which were daily anti hourly re.
pealed to him. The Serjeant's patience at length
was exhausted, and he exclaimed in a rage, that he
would rather drill a hum/fa far than one Phihrs.

- The wife of a Seaman belonging to the Puiriart,
lying at Spithead, lately came from the Downs in
the Lark, to see her husband. She had not been in
the ship an hour when she was delivered of two fine
children, who with the mother are likely to do
well. The poor woman was not provided with
any necessaries whatever, Capt. 'alms, who corn.
mands the Ship, humanely set a Subscription on foot,
and money was colleeled from the Officers to provide
for what was wanted,

Yesterday bennight the Master of a Dunbar Brig
killed a Sword Fish, opposite the harbour of Alloa,
measuring upwards of eight feet from the point of
the beak to the tail. It is uncommon w find this
kind of fish in 'the Forth, particularly so far up the
