Mr. CALF/I WHITETOORD was at an entertainment,
in which Madeira of a fine flavour was plentifully
served during dinner. After dinner a bottle of Cape
Wine was h.troduced. It was so excellent, that the
company gave several hints that another bottle would
be very gratifying. The hint was not taken : on
which Mr. W. said, " Well, if we cannot double Me
Cape, we must return to Madeira.

EPITAPH ON A YOUNG CLOTHIER.
How still he lies !
And closed those eyes,
That shone as bright as day !
The cruel measles,
Like Clothier's talks,
Have serrtched his life sway.
Cochisteal red
His Ups has fled;
Which now are blwe and bla-A.
Dear pretty wretch,
How thy limbs stretch,
Like Cloth upon the ad.
Repress thy sighs,
The Father cries,
My dear, and not repine ;
For ten to, one,
When GOD'S work's done,
He'll cow of emperfise

NAUFICAL INTELLIGENCE.

MTRON, the celebrated statuary to ALEXANDER the
GREAT, died in extreme poverty. Hence it ..r/S said,
that though his art could breathe a soul into his im-
mortal statues, it could not keep his own body and
soul together.

YARMOUTH, MARCH 30.
This morning was launched from the Dock-yard
of Mr. Join( PRESTON, a beautiful new sloop of war,
pierced for 20 guns, to be named the Racoon. She
went off in a very fine stile, amidst the acclamations
of a concourse of people.

HULL, MARCH 29.

On the wall of the room, in which Lady JANE
GRAY was imprisoned in the Tower, she wrote these
lines with a pin :

The Kite sloop of war has arrived in the Humber.
—The Danish sloops sent in here by the Clio, are
strong-built vessels, capable of encountering the heavy
seas often experienced upon the coast of Norway, and
in the Baltic; and very suitable for transporting troops
through the narrow channels of the Danish islands,
or from one part of the coast to the other. Their
cargoes are now landed, and consist of stockfish, oil,
candles, cases of glass, wood, &c. The Danes
possess a great number of these vessels, and would
soon collect a sufficient number of them to transport
a large army from Holstein into Zealand, Finland,
&c.—The Danes have fitted out a number of armed
ships of great force. Many of them were originally
Indiamen.—Four vessels were lost on Stoney Binks,
at the entrace of the Humber, on Wednesday night
last : The Bremen packet, late of this port, but now
of London, from thence to the 'Baltic, with sugar,
coffee, &c.—The Prosperity, WA LW, of London,
-loaded with deals, &c. The Aurora, YOUNG, and a
Swede, name unknown. The crew of the Bremen
packet were all saved ; but, it is feared, the crews of
the rest have perished. Part of one of the vessels
drove en shore on the end of Spurn point on Thurs-
day morning ; and part of the cargo of the Prospe-
rity, near Marsh Chapel.

TRANSLATION.
Think not thou strange whate'er the Fates assign ;
My lot to-day, to-morrow will be thine.
