iIItIGH7VN, NOP. 21.

Carriages Were rattling about in all quarters to-
day ; but the turf of the Steyne was too humid to offer
any (male attractions to promenaders.
About one o'clock P. M. a French privateer hove
in sight off the town, and a signal of an enemy's
sail being there, was predentl) hoisted at the telegraph
or signaLheuse, on White Hawk Hill, Several light
colliers at the time were standing out to sea, for the
purpose of weathering the Head of Beachy. Two
guns were discharged from the port by the volunteers,
to warn those vessels of their danger, which were
perfecly understood by them, and the whole conse-
quently tacked about and .stood in. The privateer,
perceiving she was discovered, made off. If she
made any capture, it is not as yet known at this
place. The explosions from the battery, this mcnn•
ing, induced all ranks and descriptions of people to
hurry towards the cliff, and which presented a very
animated spectacle, for nearly two hours subsequently.
—Of the ten French prisoners that were conducted
from hence for Porchester Castle on this day se'n-
night, one contrived to escape soon after they had
reached Arundel, but he was afterwards retaken. In
consequence of this circumstance, Lord C. SOMERSET,
the General of the district,. ordered a Court of En-
quiry to ascertain the cause of it, the Serjeaut who
had headed the military escort being considered to
blame. A Court of Enquiry was therefore opened
at the Star Inn, at Shoreham, on Saturday, at which
Major OLNEY, of the South Gloucester Militia, was
President, and at which Captains W'ALwYN, CROSS,
&c. attended. The Serjeant suspected, it then ap-
peared, was not to blame, but the Corporal, who had
accompanied him, was ; and that inebriety on his part
had solely given rise to what had occurred. The Corpo-
ral, it is supposed, will he brought to a Court Martial.
Six o'clock P. M.—Since writing the above, we
find that one collier brig was captured by the priva-
teer above alluded to, and conveyed away.

Da utiv-La NE.—Last night, in the comic opera of
" The Duenna," Ban NAM was particularly success-
ful ; he was in fine voice, and was loudly enccred
in the two airs, "Had -1 a heart for falsehood framed,"
and " Ali ! sure a pal:- was never seen." DowroN
played Litge hcce with peculiar humour, and would
have produced infinitely more effect if he had looked
more like a Jois.i, and less the genikaan. . An apology
was made for the hoarseness of Mrs: Mot:NT/Iw,
who omitted the bravura," Adieu! thou dreary pile."
Mrs. MATHEWS was an interesting Louisa; and in
the Antonio of INGNUAt had a very /dump admirer !
KiNc's TriraTan.—ln " The Exile,': last night,
the singing of Mrs. DtcNo•is, and the exertions of the
different performers, were highly attractive and loudly
applauded. This being the last week of Theatrical
performances at the Opeva House, there was such
an influx of silver tickets, that, we tear, to use the lan-
guage of Sylv.-ster Dagsa-wood, " it was a crpwdal
haute, but not Arsjitatie."
ROYAL HuNT.-011 Saturday last, his Majesty's
stiig hounds met at Salt-hill, in Bucks, -and, about
eleven o'clock, a fine stag was, turned off. He first
took a ring, and, knowing his country, he run to the
river. Thames, and took water. He landed ne. r
Clewer, Perks. Two couples and a half cf hounds
pursued him across, and went away. A sportsman
from Winktield joined them at landing, and rallied
the small pack. He took to Saint Loonard's park
paling, from thence to New Lodge, and,
.making a.
sudden turn, crossed' Winktield Plain, and, near to
the Great Park Gate, he swam the Wood Ponds. lie
afterwards took his course towards Sunning-hill, b•it.
being headed, he took f Fern-hill, then Asr,it
Heath, and ran close to his Majesty's kennels, and
over the forest for Swinl-..7 Park the sportsman that
was in tally-110'd him crossing the summit of
Lily-
hill, about two hundred yards before the hounds ;
they ran him down to Ball Brook, where the small
pack came to a sudden check : the Stag being ex-
hausted, he took up stream towards Swinley Warren,
which deprived the small pack of scent ; about half
an hour after the remaining pack came up, with all
the sportsmen, and he was taken within ten yards of
the check. This chace was performed with two cou-
ple and a half of hounds.
The Berkeley hounds went out on Monday, attended
by a numerous field of sportsmen ; they nnkennelled
a foit, which they killed, after a sharp run of one hour.
A second fox was unkeithelled, which they lost, after
a run of one hour and-twenty minutes.
EXTRAORDINARY TIDE.-1 he tide, which carried
away so much of the Cliff at Brighton, was the high-
est that has bean known on that coast, since the year
1786, when the East Cliff Battery was destroyed,
and it is remarkable, that both these tides occurred
in November, ere on the 17th, the other on the 18th.
The new Stevne at Worthing was inundated by that
of Friday, and several acres of wheat were overflowed
at Lancing. •An immense quantity of sea weed has
been cast along' the Southern coast,
This morning John Palnrr was executed at the

for entering a dwelling-house in Manthester-street,

his master's property, and who had been left in
charge of it..

untie dull, at a further declension in price—Barley

This book was examined fes two hours, and no such
profession appeared ; the patience of the officers being
exhausted, they insisted that the native of Shamrock-

Paddy )—I made pegs to a slater !"
The following recipe, for the saving of grain in the
feeding of work-horses, will be found worthy of atten-
tion :—take a bushel of bear chaff, well heat, cuffed,
and sifted, and a quarter of a bushel of turnips (ternip
measure) if yellow, so much the better ; wash the tur-
nips quite clean, and slice them; put some chaff in
the bottom of the boiler, to prevent the turnips from
sticking to bottom ; then
_put in chaff and turnips
alternately; add an ounce of salt, and the' put is as
much water as will cover the Whole ; boil it an hour,
let it stand over night, and in the morning, v:ken it
is "to be. given te the horses, it'should be well squeet-
ecl, in order to mix the sweet liquor of the turnips
with the chaff. The above quantity is just sufficient
for one horse. The salt should never be omitted,
as it is the means of preventing many bad consequen-
ces which would otherwise happeu. The turnips are
oniy fit to be used in the months of November, De-
cember, January, and February.
The above recipe has heen tried by a Nobleman
w'o keeps from fourteen to fifteen work-horses, who
saved about fifty bolls of grain within these four
re • and the horses are in must excellent con-
dition.
