Yesterday afternoon a Wherry, given i-;)7 the
Members of the Funny Club, was rowed for by
seven pair of oars. In consequence of the fineness
of the weather, the banks of the River were lined
•
with numerous speciators, many of whom appeared
persons of respeaability, while the nuniber df plea-
' sure-boats, cuttgrs, &c. which appeared on the 'mar-
gin of the Thames, rendered the scene in a high 'de-
gree interesting. . .

The'following were the competitors that started
for the prize ,
No c. Abraham Graves, Rlackfriars ; and James Broock...
ston, Bankside ; black.
No. z. Thomas Johnson, Vauxhall ; and William Mead,
Bankside ; ,blue.'
No. 3. Daniel Morton, Black friars ; and Danielb~allett,

ma o, ltlackfriars ; red.
No. 7. Christopher Hall, Paul's Wharf ; and lames Ful-
lacktriars ; green.

They left Westminster-bridge at about half past
•four. The first three boats of the first heat were to
start for the second. At the cbmtneticen:ent of the
contest, the yellow, black and red seetned,likely to
distance the others. Subsequently the yellow took
the lead in great style, and got in first. The red and
the pink followed, and got. in almost at the same
ibstant immediately after the yellow. The contest
of course 'was now confined to those three, and at
about six in the evening they started for' •the
second heat. The yelloW again took the. lead
passrd sound a boat moored off 13.atieH.2a-bridgi.,,
hotly ptirsUed by the red and the pink, asidreturn-
ing down the Middlesex shore lc NeW
considerably distanced the other competitors. The red
and the pink continued the contest ercar
but it was rather a struggle against each other, than
against she ytcllow, as that had so decidedly the ad-
vantage the greater part of the way. , In the end,
the red got in below the pink by about three-
fourths of a length.
This match was better contested, and afforded
greater amusement than any. that has been witriess-"
ed for a considerable time. The sttengtit'and skill of
the ,whole of the candidates were the siAbjed of uni-
versal admiration. All of them merited success ; but
the yellow, bow in this, as in many other instances,
were perfe6tly irresistible.

see boats frOm the French coast land on that ishini,
with poultry, eggs, and other small produce, which
they dispose of in the mat kets, and purchase in re-

hail-stones
compaaled with astothelinisng size, an quantity, and :1c;
most awfud l bursts of thund(-;
;:d flashes of lightning. The storm lasted .for Ot
honr.'and, a .halt, but from the appearance of
clouds we shouh:i.not supPose.that it has spread to alg.
great extent. We:have heard that one man itt th®
neighbourhood was\ hurt by the lightning, 4nd sot it
houses have sustained considerable damage; bea
there is great reason to rejoice that the, devastaticia
has not- been mnelr greater. The distresses 'butrereA

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,

S.

As your time must be much better employed, in
Coliecting interesting and authentic intelligence un
matters of Natiorial simportatice, than in entering
irno any ,controversy with your.competitors, I
save you the trouble of taking any further notice.,
unless you thin:: proper, of the attack upon TH E Su N
which appears this day in the chief organ. of " All
the Talents." You are accused of " vihtyii.g theme-'
Mory of Mr. Fox ;" but tht4..author of this charge is
much more severe upon the memory of Mr. Fox
than you are, in bringing tot ward his, principles, for
no apparent reason than that of, vilriying a chara.:.-
ter which it is for the interest of the country to hold
in resped and-admiration. The Prince of Wales
has been accused in the quarter alluded to, of having
pronounced an unqualified approbation of the poti-
tical principles, of Mr. Fox, and of saying, that he
should anxiously endeavour to impress those prlnci-
. pies upon the heart of his illustrious offspring.—
You.very properly animadvert on the inconsistency

that mailed the, public condo& of Mr. Fox, but his
officious adtooate dogs not think proper to enter into
an explanation' of Mr. Foes- prinCiples, or endeavour
to reconcile his inconsistencies;, and contents him-
self with accusing you of having " vilifi. d his memo.-
ty." Theadvircate Says, that " the people of Eng-
land feel the truth of the noble eulogmin assed on
his character by
.t he person who, next to his Majesty,
has the highest interest in t he success of the doctrines
'which it• was the object. of
his-political Tile AttOticul-
cate." But, Mr. Editor, it is inipossiole that the people
of England should feel the truth' of what they hate
'only, heard through the very uncertain medium ot au
Opposition Journal; .and the priN:iples of Mr. Fox
were so vai ions and.so opposite, that it is very -till-
ficoll indeed, to suppose that his Royal. Highness,
whose und,:xstandhig is known to be. excellent,
would have otomittedlninselt so tar as to expiess
the sentiment upon the subjed $o indecently im-
puted to him ; a.,.1 indeed, Mr. Editor, .the only
person whr oo this occasion has " vilified the me-
, in;rry of Mr. Fox" is tits otlicious advocate. .As
you v,,ry justly onset ve, Mr.- Fox ,:tone time held
the Ni;ice of Parliaoteni
eas every thing, and that ot
the Pcoi,le as nothing and at-auotner declared that
the voice ot the People was every thing, and that
ParltaMent were oA,r to listen and oncy. From
such versatility and total contradict wh i could be
ected, but that it he had been ative,and in- good
health, he might have asserted 'both opinions again
and again, acc-rd ti g to the' .suggestioos of his own
interest, or mat O his party But alter the declktra-
lion'of Mi.. Fox, stated iii yOur2 Paper of this day,
"that the e‘istanceOt the people to the autho-
rity of Government was rut tely a, question ot
Vence and should he estimated by their power"--
a declaration Mr. Fox repeatedly_ made, and from
winch most indecent and iv, position, out to say
worse of it, his advoda e v.,. cites 4, and "

TO THE EDI.POII, OF THE SUN.,

Sin,

The following lines were wtitten by Dr-. JOHN-
SON in the year 1777, in ridicule of certain poems
which were publiAted at that period. What those
poems were it is difficult to dis.c.itrer ;- but it must be
admitted that they are very appropriate to some po-
pular works of the precut day.

A CONSTANT READER.

Wheresoe'er I turn my view,
All is strange, and nwhing new ;
Endless labour aii along,
Endless labour tube wrong

Uncouth wordi in diiarray,'.

Ode, and Eleg), and Sonnet.

tre yesterday expressed our doubts of the au-
thenticity of the Address, attributed to the Officers
of the Army, for the purpose of • flea log the resto-
ration ,of hi; R.. H. the Duke of 'Volt's, io
t„e situa-
tion of CoMmander in Chief and we. find that this
Address has been disavowed in the quarter to which
.it was imputed. .There can be no doubt, as we
before observed, that the 'generous character of
lishmen induces them to .sympathise in all the sen-
timents which that Address contains, and to consider
the Duke as the Vittiar of low malice, and vulgar
clamour; but we have too good an opinion of the
Officers of the Army, to suppose that they won
have adopted the measure in question. It• is said
that
,endeavours_ are making to trace the Original
source of this Address,, which, we understand, first
appeared in a'Scoich Newspaper.

Saturday evening, about nine o'cl:•ck, two young
womencrossing the fields.from Camberwell Fair. to.
kningtoil C,Antnoniwcre accosted by two fellows,
,tressed as lab, wring men, who robbed the.m.of what
money they had and their shawls, with which . the
villains made their escape towards Coal•arbour-lane.

tie first, as to whether I should order the short bills
to be delivered up to the petitioners; =el .the next,
at to the jurisdiction of the Court in this.matter.—
The first question turns simply upon: the fa-Os dis•
cbsed in the case. It appeals that the petiti4ners,
having received about 22,0004 of the public money,
repined it to the Bankrupts. In addition to this.
caih remittance, 21,0001. in short .trill, was also re.,
mated. By short bills, I understar,d bills 'entered
short, and credit not given for them, as (or so •
much, money, received. Of theie remittances,
22.0001. and something more, w:4" made payable to
the order of the 6immiSsioners of EXcise. .Further
acceptances were . made, some for a valuable consi-
deration, and others not; aillotinting, in the wh.le
of the acceptances by the Bankrupts to. 26,0001."
[Mr..MONTAGUE mentioned here that the peti-
tioueis had just paid to the Assignees of the bank 7.
rupis the amount of those.acCeptatices which were
not for a valuable consideration.] " That,"/ said
the Lord Chancellor, " clears the question still'
more. I think the bankrnpts could not be entitled •
.to consider those bills as part of their elfets fur
which no credit had been given. Trey might have,
it is true,• a lien upon the'short b)11,1, so tar as nut
to give them.up till' accounts were settled, or to cir-
cutustances of that nature. . As lb the property to
those short bills, if the bankrupts had nut ill's pro-
petty, the Assignees cannot ..,ave it ,•' the ba .kruptcy-
cannot giye them any right above the bankrupts.---
I do not go into the.: powers of a writ of exi eta, but
it is gen= that a material difference is produced in
the nature of 'the crest ion, where the acceptances;
were,. for money provable to have been speciti, ally
paid for the purpose of Governmeht. • But if the
ti-
tenti can be made available to take the short bills
ow of the hands of the 'Assignees, I see no inju,tice
to the other creditOis, in the ihspas.ll wlitci the
Crown has consented torn eke of them. I will not
require the petitioners to. amend their petitiOn, as it
would have no other etfed than to bring us here the
day after to-morrow again. As• to the question of
jurisdiction, I have considered it as much as I could,
and I think I have jurisdiction in tlii4 matter. I
thetelore older tie shtirt bills to be delivered up to
the petitioners." •
In a ease ex-pane Cie, his Lordship deferred
-making a decree, as he wished to pen it with his
own hand. In this case; une'orthe Assignees was
a Banker; rite amountof the bink"rept's eifed, had
'been ordered to be paid i;to the Bank tit' this Assig-
nee, and-the clues:tot, which made the :Ltse pteriliar
was) whither the Banker ought not to pay i; t. rest
Ear tie money so lddge.i tints. ' His Lord-
.>
ship'slopinion was, that l:e ought not to pay in-
lerest,.,unless the money was detained obvions!y for
a longer time than, was ncdcss,iry ; that eii,e in-
terest ought fu be required floor the As,iBnee.

Chri,ttnasday that'she was pregnant, and not stoli-
ping on Christmas-day, as she usually' had done, to

lion, and be said that he had often his' sacrament on
that day that he would many her.' Having no house

dated in his house.' Balderston. repeatel his

'her testimony. _ _
