beautiful and •interesting spectacle from the Cliffs.

Coasters, and Colliers, with several large Ships of

were nearly as expensively decorated as they appeared
in honour of the Putts of YORKIi Birth-day, tam ,
though the emblematical devices used on that OCCa.
sion were reinlyed, others of equal brilliance were
substituted. Towards two o'clock the dancing was
rebutried, and continued to enliven its votariesfor bet.

were also open this 'evening, but so thinly visited,
that the sounds of the fiddle .and tabor there were
not heard during the night.' Several families of fa.
