THE Gentlemen who lately compOsed the Vo.
lAINTEER CORPS or this town had a dinner yester-
day, in commemoration of the day on which they
formed into a Military Association. for the defence
of their Country. • It was eAatily 'eight years ago
since that event took place, and it should be men-
tioned to their honour,
,chat they were the second
Volunteer Corps who so nobly came fotwarkin
England for such a loyal and constitutional purpose.
The day passed oft-With the spirit and good humour
that will always be charaeleristic of TRUE .13arroNs.
The KING, the RoyAi, FAMILY, the Army, the
Navy, with all the usual loyal and appropriate
Toasts, were drank with enthusiasm. Indeed the
meeting was in all respeCts so pleasani, without any
thing that in the smallest degree tended to disturb
its harmony,. that the company unanimously re.
solved to make• it an annual festival Of the same
kind. The following'Song was sung at this meet-
ing, and received with the warmest applatise. It is
attributed to Mr. STEPHEN ICEME L 11, who was one
of the company, and set to music by Mr. Wit I C HT,
of Newcastle, whose musical taste is well known.

), When, unprovok'd,
,when Foreign Foes,
When danger gave occasion,

BRITANNIA'S VOLUNTEERS:am
To shield her from Invasion.
And still while other Nations bow,
Awl lowly seek alliance, • .
Should l'an.Nek: transgress ag*in, they vow
To hurl a bold defiance:

The Sons of Tv Nt, a youthful band .
With ardent resolution,
Will arm to gtiard their Native Land,
Their KING alit! CoNsrITUTION.
Again whene'er the cause invites,
Our Liberties revering,
To guard those dear, those sacred rights,
THLY'LL GO A VOLUNTEEkING.

The Shepherd now beneath his shed
At eve, the Dance provoking,
Takes up his lov'd,'negleded reed,
Long days of PEACL invoking :
To plough-shares tho' our Swords we turn,
No mord in arms appearing,
With friendship still our bosoms burn,
In kindness 'Volunteering. •

FOX.CHACE.—Monday, at one o'clock, a fine
Fox was unkennelled among the , ruins in the
Strand, on the western kide of Temple. Bar. The
Epping Hunt has been often admired for its curious
field of sportsmen, but never was there such a
strange and anomalous medley canceled. as "'upon
this occasion; mastitis, • hodmen, labourers, hack:
ney.coachtnen, applewomen, fi,hwornen, boys,
girls, ~and terriers, all in full cry, joinedin the
pursuit.:-The crouti and variety were farther in,.
creased by a large pardon of the'casual passengers in
that. great thoroughfare.; Poor Reynard being; an
animal of strong initind, first Made for Cletnentis.
Inn, in hopes, no doubt, that a fellow-feeling would.
there ensure him a safe asylum. He had the
good fortune to • gain the gate, but that was
nearly the total of his success :.he then made a
double to gain his Old ground, but he bad scarcely
reached it, when a blow of a pickaxe put an end ,
at'once to his life and the pursuit. .A hodtnan
inediately mounted his brush. From whence poor
Reynard came, or how it happened' that he should
have taken up such strange quarters, we cannot con.
jeaure.
On Thursday last died, at his residence in West-
minster, 'after a long and painful illness, SAMUEL
NETHERTON, Esq. sincere and adive 'as a friend,
tender and affeftionate as a husband, pious and pa-
tient as a Christian. The severest bodily sufferings,
so far from shaking the firmness of his nand, did not
diminish, but at short intervals, that cheerfulness
and vivacity in conversation, for which he was re-
markably distinguished. His engaging manners,
and the benevolence of his temper,. 1-were to be
equalled only by the soundness of his principles,and' ,
the integrity of his life. -served the. office of
High Sheriff for the 'County of -Worcester in the
year 1770.
Amongst other singular effects of the late storms,
such a quantity of seaweerl has been. thrown on the
shore at Barnston, in-'Yorkshire, the estate of Sir
FRANCIS BOYNTON, that it is imagined there are
.15,900 load of this manure. There 'are daily to be
seen from fifty to Seventy carts7and waggons carry-
ing it into thtcountry, and it is supposed there will
he a quantity stafficient to manure the estate for the
two. ensuing years. The benefit to the tenants cannott
be estimated at less than 1.001..
