THE STORY.
Obadiah Brow& int, a Merchant in the city of London, five
interested relatives, misrepresents to Sir Barometer 01.11tA the coo,
duet of his Ward, Charles Fervor. The humble family of the
Seagraves are tenants of Broadbrim'i, and reside in a country tow*
where Fervor (who has entered the army) is recruiting, and where
accidentally he meets Sir Barometer at the inn. The report which,
the Quaker has given of the young man, is strengthened by an
unfortunate misunderstanding of Sir Barometer, at Seagrave's cot.
rage; and he is induced to believe Fervor an unprincipled and
abandoned character. Broodbrim, by the honesty of Drab, bb
Clerk, Is obliged to hasten from London, to prevent the disco.
very of his schemes. They are, however, totally countermined
by Ferscr',3 Corporal—he is exposed, and Sir Barometer and his
Ward reconciled.

The Green-room history of this piece is a little
extraordinary. It was freely given to the Theatre
by its Author, who is a )'bung Artist, named Po.
COCKE. Mr. WINSTON, the most active among
the Managers, gladly accepted the farce, on this
condition, although it had been intended to bring
out no more new pieces this year; and the merit of
the production itself unquestionably justifies this
departure from the original purpose. The excellence,
however, of Tel or No, consists rather in dialogue
than in plot : for the story is by no means easily
gathered, and when at last it is understood, is hardly
worth the trouble of understanding. But there are
throughout the Piece a great number of smart things
very comically introduced, and the author appears to
have founded his .tyle on Mr. COLMAN, whom helms
imitated in several instances with great success. Mr.
LISTON played Broadtrim, a Quaker, with all the
natural humour which so peculiarly marks the per•
formances of this excellent Actor: and Mr. Ma-
xus:yrs repreknted a Drunken Corperal with great
truth.

There was some music in the piece, but none of it
deserved approbation, except a comic song, which
had been written by Mr. COLMAN, and was sung by
Mr. MATREws. An attempt at opposition was rather
unfairly made at the beginning of the first act, but
the farce was given out for a second representation
with almost universal applause.

Drury-lane Theatre does not open, as settled, on
Saturday se'nnight. The performances do not recom-
mence until the 17th of the month.

Britford Fair, near Salisbury, was held on Friday
last. The number of sheep and lambs penned,
amounted to 19,000. The sales were very dull, and
the average prices full Gs. per head cheaper than last
year. The show of horses was wry scanty.

A Correspondent is sensibly hurt at the constant
Rivittsr of Brill during a Sunday morning, which
he compares with much indignation to a Ging/ing
Match.

FETE CHAMPETRE t); CLARENDON PARK.—Tuesday
last a splendid dejamt, ball, &c. were given at Cla•
rendon Park, near Watford. It was one of the series
of pew for which this county has been so remarkable.
It was given by subscription, under the supermen.
dance of Lord CLARENDON and ti e Hon. Mr. CAFE&
These Gentlemen generously stepped forward, w tk
the benevolent view of rescuing an unfortunate fami y,
resident in the neighbourhood, from destruction, in
consequence of unexpected loses in trade.

The Temple of Pan, wherein the b.ill wa! given, (which is de•
corated with numerous busts of the Heathen Deities), is situated
but two miles from the family mansion, en the Lawn, in front
of this grotesque pile of building, booths and tents were erected.
From one until three o'clock, the company continued to arrive;
about half past three It is supposed upwards of one thousand per.
sons had entered the Park, but of whom only 500 had paid dr:
stipulated price for admittance ; the others, composed entirely of
the neighbouring peasantry, were admitted to stand on the outsider
of a strong fence, on paying half a crown each.
•

. ,
The amusements commenced with dancing on tha
green ; the Duke of York's band playing. A tens.
porary stop was put to the gaiety and harmony of the
scene, by a cry of " take care of your pockets." But
fortunately, for the country Gentlemen and Farmers,
Rivett, of Bow-street, and one of his coadjutors, made
their appearance at the instant : then the heroes of
the light
.fingered tribe, thought they could not do
better than immediately decamp ; which they did
without ceremony. Order and personal security being
restored, the dancing recommenced. About five
o'clock the company partook of the refreshments, set
out in the Temple of Pan, or in the numerous marquees
around. It was in the evening when the variegated
scene of attraction was to have commenced.

Preparatory movements were, at that hour, made for a grand
display of fireworks; bombs,the most terrific, were to hay,. bcn
thrown up against a neighbouring mount; and all the regular
science of fortification and gunnery were to have been exhibited.
Other works, the wonderful efforts of the human genius, include
•ing specimens of natural magic, were all ready to be developed,
to excite the wonder and astonishment of the assembled crowd.

Unfortunately, about the hour fixed upon, a tre-
mendous hail storm commenced. It soon deluged the
ground, and destroyed all the fair beauties of the
landscape in a moment. No one felt mere deeply
the regret of the visitors than Lord CLARENDON; but
to console them (when the chimes of the village cloak
went six ), his Lordship called to Mr. Goves excel'el
band of Scotch musicians to strike up « /Ifiu JJiiA
stone." Twenty-five couple immgdiately stood up;
they were led down by Lord C. and the Honourable
Mrs. WELLESLEY POLE. Mr. CAPEL followed with
Lady C. VILLIERS; Colonel' VILLIERS with Miss
JOHNSTONE; and Mr. PAXTON with Mrs. VILLIERS.
All the magnificent preparations, particularly in trans-
parent scenes, and other devices in coloured lamps'
were rendered useless, the rain continuing to fall in
one incessant torrent until after midnight. Those
who had carriages, escaped tolerably well ; but those
who had them not, were drenched to the skin, cn
their return to the town of Watford ; wherein all the
inns and public-houses were placed, at an early hour
of the evening, in a state of requisition.

We understand that Government purpose to pay off'
immediately 19 or 20 sail of the line, and to transfer
the crews to smaller vessels of war, which are to be
sent to the Baltic and other quarters, where they are
most wanted. It is no longer deemed necessary to
keep up lazge fleets, since the enemy is no where in
sufficient force to meet them.

arrived there on Sunday.
By Letters from Malacca we learn, that the Ad-
miral Trowbridge, Capt. WALLACE, was cut off by
her crew at Sooloo. Captain WALLACE and Mr.
Brans were on shore, when they rose on the Chief
Officer, carried the vessel, and set sail for, it is sup-
posed, the Moluccas. Captain WALLACE and Mr.
Banns are at Malacca.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the destination of the Not-
tinham Was altered to Madras and China, instead of
China direct.—The Court adjourned at seven o'clock
till to-morrow.

MELANCHOLY SIUPWRECK.—Private letters lately
received in town, from North Uisit, give the follow-
ing melancholy account of the loss of a wherry,
which has been attended with unusual circumstances
of distress. About three weeks ago, a wherry be-
longing to Mr. MACDONALD, of Brabranald, manned
with four men, and which had a cargo of cattle on,
board, sailed from North Uist, for the island of Hus-
kar, which is the only island between the North of 11
Scotland and America, in that'direction. When the
vessel sailed, the day was moderate, and the wind
fair; but when within two leagues of Huskar, the
wind became contrary, and very tempestuous; the
consequence was, that the vessel foundered on a ridge
, of rocks, which jutted out from the main island.
Three of the hands perished, as did all the cattle, ex-
cept one cow, which, together with the fourth man,
•: succeeded in scrambling up to the top of this rocky
.; island. In this dismal situation, the man along with
his brute companion remained for three days without
any prospect of relief. On the fourth day the cow
dropped down dead. In the interim, to preserve ex-
istence as long as possible, the man opened a vein in
the cow, and frequently sucked her blood. This
source of existence being cut off, he afterwards cut
out the tongue of the dead animal, and mincing it down
very small, he supported existence till the fifth day;
on which, to his great joy, he espied an open fishing
boat in the Channel, and hoisted, with all his re-
maining strength, his shirt as a signal of distress; the
boat came, and rescued him from his perilous situ-
ation.

ROWING Ma7r/rm.—Yesterday at twelve o'clock,
young Hamilton and White, two watermen •belong- ,
ing to Billingsgate, who have lately had a contest for 1
a gold laced hat, and still disputed each other's prowess, I
rowed a single pair of sculls each for twenty guineas.
They started about twelve o'clock, and rowed from
Swan to Swan. As they rowed towards Horse-shoe-
ally, Hamilton took the lead ; White then picked him
up, running his boat's nose upon the other's quarter,
wkichturnedhim right round. Hamilton again pulled
up, and they were boat's nose And boat's nose at
Blackfriar's Bridge. The wind blew a sharp S. W.
Hamilton kept on the north side of the water with a
view to save his distance ; but White saw clearly the
advantage of working under a lee, when wind and
tide were against him. He kepr on the south side of
the water almost as high as the Red-house, so that
lie was, cdmparatively speaking, rowing in slack-
water, whilst the other had only a one-handed pull
all the way, and consequently lost his wager.
Saturday forenoon, a rowing-match took place at
Leith, between a Naval Officer, and a Gentleman of
the Law. They started from the beacon, and rowed
round the ARDENT in the Roads, and back. The
contest was keen, and was gained by the •Naval Of-
tcer, by a very short distance. A number of boats
with company were present.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVAILING FASHIONS FOR
• THE MONTH, _

AB TALLY FROM " LA BELLE ABStMBLEIL"

As at this season of the year (not improperly termed—Fashion'.
holiday) a large range is given to individual invention; we have
rather to direct our fair fashionables in their choice of such arti-
cles, which, while they preserve lie prevailing style, may yet
afford a pleasing and consistent variety. To this important branch
of our subject, therefore, we now more inuswihtely call the at-
tention of our Readers.

The most novel article in Pelisses and Mantles, are now formed
of coloured muslin& painted or printed in India-shawl patterns,
or in fancy antique borders. Those of white muslin, or leno,
with the raised pea-spot, bear also a fashionable distinction, and
from their neatness and convenience are worthy of a place amidst
their more chewy contemporaries. In the construction of these
articles we discover little novelty, exceptithat they are now formed
with a high round collar, puckered very small, which are fast-
ened at the throat with a silver filligree, or other neat brooch.
The Spanish Mantle and Patristic Helmet, are now in high re-
quest ; and ell-wide squares, and half squares, a yard and half
in length, of coloured muslin, wrought in small feathered tufts,
and disposed tastefully over the plain white robe, comprise much
grace and elegance.
Small poke bonnets, formed of palm-coloured sarsnet, in alter-
nate puckers and stripes, edged with Chinese trimming, and worn
with Mantles, or Pelisses of the same, attract by the unobtrusive
neatness of their shade, and the simple elegance of their construc-
tion. But we cannot but remark that the palm-colour is appro-
priate only to females of the most delicate complexion.
The French tippet, which had ever a flippant (not tosay vulgar
effect) was seldom adapted by women of refined taste—it is now
submitting to a gradual decline. French 'cloaks, of coloured, or
white sarsnet, trimmed with fancy floss borders, or lace, more
gracefully supply their place ; the ends of these cloaks are not
permitted to reach below the knee. Large squares of Leno are
worn either as a mantle or as a drapery for the evening dress ;
the distinction consists in the varied disposition of its fold&
The Queen Catherine's hood and tippet is at once a most be-
coming, stylish, and simple ornament ; and exceeding appropriate
to the coloured robe. It is formed of French net, with a lace
; beading and edging to correspond finishes its terminations.—
When thrown over a fine head of hair, which is first confined
with a simple comb, or ornament of gold, silver, or jewellery, it
forms a decoration comprising much grace and elegance, and well
adapted for the evening parade, or Vauxhall.
Robes of coloured muslin, leno, or crape, worn over white
sarsnet, were never more in vogue, and if judiciously adapted to
the complexion, are certainly a most animated and attractive habit,
Gipsey Hats have become more general since our last conimuni-
cation ; they are now tied across the crown (which is very low)
with a coloured net handkerchief, or painted in the union border,
with puffings of ribband to correspond. They are placed very
forward, and towards one side, exhibiting the hair in a waved
crop behind ; or are otherwise worn with a small cap of French
net. Caps and veils, with full ronts of ribband, demi-wreaths of
flowers, or small clusters of fruit are observed to blend with
other tasteful decorations for the head, in evening. parties, or at
the library lounge.

Silver ornaments seem to gain ground, since our last observa-
tions. Thr most animated and novel article in this line, Is the
full rose and leaf, by way of a brooch—and the large spangled
butterfly, as an ornament for the hair. The pea-green celestial
blue, and blossom-coloured patent pearl es mite, viz. as necklace,
ear-rings, and bracelets, are conspicuous amidst the most delicate
and fashionable selection in trinkets. The onyx, emerald, ame-
thyst, and sapphire, set in the antient style, are cozsidertd very
elegant and brilliant ornaments.

There is scarcely any change in the article of gloves and shoes
since our last communication.

The most fashionable colours are palm-colour, pea-green, ce-
lestial blue, amber, bright violet, and apricot ; pink, thuughrather
general, is not considered as genteel ; full yellow is also too corn-
moa to find a place in a select wardrobe.

On Monday, as a Gentleman in the City was
driving from Margate to the Reculvers, accompanied
by his -Lady, in a one-horse chaise, they were unfortu-
nately overturned by some inequality in the road, and
the Lady was killed on the spot.
Monday afternoon, one of the Hammersmith coaches
was overturned on Brook Green, and the passengers
most severely injured: one had a leg broken, and
another his collar-bone.

Yesterday morning early, as the Liverpool wag-
gon was passing up Aldermanbury, in its way to the
Axe lan, very heavily laden, it was overturned, by
which a house was somewhat damaged, and the wag-
gon was obliged to be unloaded in the strett. For-
tunately, no other injury occurred.

- -
A little girl, four years old, was found crying at
the door of Mr. Seres, in Piccadilly, at eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night, with a covering of coarse sacking.
The chill was enabled to make the people of the
house understand where her parents resided, and also
to give a detail of a woman and a man having de-
coyed her from a street near her home in the evening.
The parents of the child reside in Titchfield-street,
and she had been stripped in Fitzroy-square, although
her garments were worth but a few shillings.
Sunday afternoon, as a boy of four years old, the
only son of a widow, was playing in Drury-lane, a
large carriage spotted dog seized him on the left
cheek, and tore away a great part of the jaw-bone.
Being immediately pursued, the dog was killed almost
on the spot by the crowd. The boy was conveyed to
an hospital, where he remains in a dreadful state,
which is rendered more distressing by an uncertainty
whether the dog was mad. Diligent search has been
made to no purpose for the owner of the dog.

Yesterday evening, as a young woman, with a child
in her arms, was crossing the Strand at the foot of
Catherine-street, her foot slipped, and the child fell
out of her arms. A Gentleman's carriage was pas-
sing violently at the time ; and the coachman though
called to stop, drove on, and one of the wheels went
over the head of the infant, who was conveyed into
the shop of Mr. Stanton, surgeon, dreadfully lacerated,
and died almost immediately afterwards. The carriage
drove on with the same rapidity through Temple-bar,
and along Fleet-street, amidst the cries of " Stop coach,
murder!" but in vain. It had a yellow body and
plated mouldings ; the coachman wore a dark blue or
brown livery, and drove bay horses. There was no
footman behind. The child was the son of Mr. Penny,
varnish-maker, in Long-acre.
Monday last, Charles alias George Anderson was
apprehended at Newcastle, on a charge of robbing a
house at Newark upon Trent. He had staid there as
a guest two or three days, and having obtained per-
mission from the Landlady to write a letter in a pri-
vate room, he broke open the drawers wherein the
money was deposited, and took out the contents,
amounting to between 501. and 601. After commit-
ting the robbery, he immediately left the house ; but
the loss being soon discovered, he was pursued to
Newcastle, and was found with a considerable part of
I the money in his possession.
A Coroner's Inquest sat yesterday, at a public-house
near Ball's Pond, on the body of a person of the name
of Jones, who expired in one of the northern stages.
The deceased, it appeared, resided in Nottingham-,
shire, and carried on the business of a land surveyor.
He suddenly dropped his head, whilst travelling in
I the coach, and expired without L.
tran, in an apo-
plectic fit.--Verdict Accidostal D

Barristers at Lair.

Yesterday morning his Grace the Lord Archbishop
of DUBLIN and his family arrived in this city from
England.

MALE& AUGUST 19:

This day out Assizes ended. The conviction of
Jame: Mannix, on a charge of forgery, was the only
capital one. The learned and humane Judge, the
LORD CH M+ BARON, previous to his having pronoun-
ced the dreadful sentence of the law, observed, that
he received from the Grand Jury a recommendation
to mercy, grounded on the prisoner's good character,
and that he would lay the same before the Lord Lieu-
tenant. He impressively recommended to the priso-
ner to prepare himself for the worst, and fixed on the
10th of next month for execution.

James Rice, convicted on a charge of having some
concern in Whiteboyism, was sentenced to 12 months
imprisonment, and to be publicly whipped at Ardfert,
Ballyhigue, and the Causeway.
Several others were tried and acquitted on a
charge of Whiteboyism, but all of them were held
over to bail.

On a trial which occurred in the Record Court,
much merriment was occasioned by the novel re-
sponses of an evidence named Eugene O'Sullivan, an
inhabitant of Ardfert, in this county, and a celebrated
poet and professor of the learned languages. This
Gentleman gave all his answers in pure Ciceronian
Latin, nor could he be prevailed on to descend to that
humble vernacular expression common to the profit-
num vulgut.
Wednesday, a cause came on to be tried before the
Honourable Baron GEORGE, in which Mr. Edward
Grady was Plaintiff, and John Spotswood, Esq. was
Defendant. It was an action for a malicious prose-
cution, damages having been laid at two thousand
pounds.
It appeared on the trial, that the prosecutor was
master of the brig Anne of Ross, late from New-
foundland, and laden with cod fish, oil, &c. In the
month of January last, this vessel was brought into
the river Valentia, in a leaky condition, by the boat
and crew belonging to Lieutenant Bell, of the Royal
Navy, who commands the sea fencibles on the Va-
lentia station. The vessel was given in charge by the
prosecutor to Lieutenant Bell, who called for the
assistance of the Defendant as a Magistrate. The
prosecutor, in some time after, entered a protest be-
fore Whitewell Butler, Esq. grounded on a charge of
not being allowed to land his cargo, and again swore
to another protest' in contradiction to the hrst, before
Morgan O'Conner, Esq. in which he charged the De-
fendant with having led him astray, beside other un-
founded imputations. Upon this, bills of indictment
for perjury were preferred against him by the Defen-
dant, which circumstance led to the present priisecu-
tion. After a full and impartial hearing before a
very respectable Jury, and a most able charge from
the Learned Judge, the Jury, without hesitation, re-
turned a verdict for the Defendant, with full costs.

The boxing matches between Crib and Gregron,
and Toting Belcher and Cropky, are fixed to take place
during the Newmarket October Meeting.
Tuesday, as a man was attempting to get behind
a carriage, while passing along the road at Islington,
his leg got between the spokes of one of the wheels,
by which it was fractured in a most shocking manner.
He was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hol:r;tal.
Major CAMPBELL, when he found that no hopes of
a pardon were to be entertained, hurried the hour of
his execution, and appeared impatient to die. He re-
peatedly supplicated, that he might be shot ; but this
for obvious reasons was refused. At twelve o'clock on
Wednesday se'nnight, he was led out forexec ution, and
the moment he made his appearance the entire of the
Guard took off their caps, and he, in return, saluted
them. He met his death with pious and becoming
fortitude, having spent his last moments with Dr.
Bowle, the father of bis amiable and distressed widow,
His body, after having been suspended the usual time.
was put into a hearse in waiting, which left the town
immediately, escorted by Dr. BOWIE for Ayr, in Scot-
land, to be interred in the family vault. To describe
the distresses of the fond wife of the deceased would
be impossible. Mrs. CAMPBELL, who jis already
known, has used every effort to preserve the life of
her partner, left London by the Glasgow Mail on
Saturday night, frantic betwixt hope and despair, but
still cheered with the probability of her solicitude ob-
taining, at least, another respite. On Monday morn-
ing, the friend of her husband, at whose house, in
Bury-street; St. James's, she resided, whilst in Lon-
don, received a letter from the lady's father, with the
intelligence that "Major Campbell was no more."—
The distracted Mrs. C. would reach Ayr on Tuesday
morning, the very time the corpse of her husband would
arrive, and we must here leave the tragic scene.—
Major CAMPBELL, in his conversation with his inti-
mate friends, previously to surrendering himself, had
always said, that if he were convicted of murder, he
should suffer, as an example to duellists in Ireland ;
but it was always his opinion that a Jury would not
convict him of murder.
