beexceeded. . .
Most of the Prize• Cattle were sold to the prin.
.cipal Butchers at high prices, though the close wea-
,t4or is much against the slaughtering of the largest
;oxen, the flesh of which, without a oryer and cooler
'air, cannot possibly stiffen.
The Judges and Committee met yesterday at the •
,Crown anti Anchor, where they dined. The Duke
of BEDFoLtD. was, in the first instance,, in the Chair.
Mr. C. C. WErrExtr, Member for Malden, took
the Chair after his. departure, and the business of
the evening teyminated with much hilarity.

cured upon the private property in patrimonial
goods of the KING of ENGLAND, and lying in the
Eleaorate ; .the objed of-the loan is to enable the
klanoverians to meet the burdens of the War ; and
trance, it is added, is ccinneeted with the tranlac.
ton only, in so far as her uitrantee was necessary.

GIBRALTAR, Ocr.

TriTER DAY the Convoy fro►n England arrived

here in the afternoon,
,with the Excedent, Apnnzim,

and Jalwise Brig, in thirty days from Portsmouth.
:.The, Flora Ttansvwt, with At party of...vs re.
cruits, under the command of Lieut..,CoLjortas, of
the Queen's Regiment, and several 01Ece,rs! wives
'and families, belongin& to the Garrison, having
-separated from the Convoy,.was unfortunately taken
in die Gut by a French Privateer, ab rut an hour's
sail a-head of the Fleet, and was carried,into .Alge—
siras in the middle of the day, with .her
reversed, in sight of the' Garrison and two Line of
Battle Ships, lying here, the-Mar/ma/ilk and
court. It. was a most mortifying and degrading
sight, and created very universal indignation, here.
in going into Algesiras, the Flora struck upon a
reef of rocks about half a mile from the town, where
she lay till next morning,
This afternoon the. Crew and Passengers. were.
sent over here from Algesiras, .in exchange fur an
equal number of French Prisoners.
The Passengers say, that the moment the Flora
got under the protection of the Forts at Algesiras,
tin; Frenchmen there, with pistols at their breasts,
stripped .the whole of them of all their clothes, 'ex.
cept what they had on their backs, taking even
the rings and ear-rings from the persons of the
Ladies.

THE THEAME.,-.IIIC English Flat in 13421
again sailed triumphantly intO the tort of public
14voui. Nearly the same encores took place as upon
the former reprehentationi. This Piece will pro.
bably'keep its anchorage in Covent-Garden during
the Winter triontk, and it will, no doubt bring. Eke
AudiOr very fairly into tort. Ad the lockers both
aloft• anti below were well stowed, and the hold .was
chaak.full.

TN; admirable suggestions of Mr. PrtT for the
peddling the Volunteer system will no doubt
tnateip., tie adopted. When the Doder has flit the
pulse 011ie Public upon the subjea, he will find
the necessity .of giving way to superior juigment
and infujrnation, the. fate. di Quackery in every

he makes_ such nnheared.of sacrifices.

Ensign- BURRO‘irb, of the Sussex Militia, did-
,played, la.it Wednesday, at Brighton, great skill,.
.in discharging 14 rounds from his fowling-piece at
an tipple which hellidieW from. his own hand, to
dicidea wager that had made with Lieutenant.
Orro, of the same Regiment, of a guinea a' shot
that he failed not, under such circumstances, of
striking the objet before it reached the ground.—
Of the twenty-four shots, three only had not the
desired effect. Thus the gnsign, in the end, was
a gainer of eighteen guineas by the experimental
skill of the day.
,A Mr. C—R, who WAS confined in the King's
Bench Prison for the sum of 2soo, died on Wed-
nesday, in what is called the State House, where lie
had been placed a few days.before in consequence of
having sent a challenge to/ military officer who was
s fellow-prisoner.--
On Tuesday sennighr, in Gateshead, Newcastle,
'as Ann johnsbn, a girl about eight years of age,
was hailin4 some potatoes, her cloaths caught fire,
when she instantly ran 'into the street, and called
out for help. A perion catriNg past at the time
endeavoured to extinguish, the flames by wrapping'
• his apron round het ; but the girl was so severely
burnt as render it necessary to carry her to the
Infirmary, whets she expired in great agony next
