THE CHACF.—On the 7th inst. fie Manhood Hunt
started a hare, near Birdham Mill, which, after a
considerable circuitous run, took- to the high road,
,and led her pursuers through the •Turnpike-gate;
into the city of Chichester, where she was met by five
pr six men, who turned her, and forced the timid
animal to leap ever a. stone wall, whither the hounds
and huntsman followed, and drove her into an ada-
cent cellar, where poor puss was taken and put to
death. Wm. Page, the huntsman, has hunted for
27 years, and never before experienced so good a
chace. The whipper-in of the above hunt, (a son of
the huntsman) Is only nine years old, and has con-
stantly followed the hounds for two years. The above
hunt.,. on the same day, found another hare, which
,they run for an hour and three quarters, and at the
end of that time, killed, in Mr. Dearling's stable, at
Donnington.

MARGATE, OCTOBER 16.

The improvements of the Pier are at length deter-
mined upon. The subscription books were closed on
Thursday last, when there appeared to have been
collected no less a sum than twenty-six thousand
pounds. This sum is to be expended in securing the
barrier, and extending the pier two hundred feet be-
yond its present boundaries.
The son of Mr. COBB, our factotum, came of age
lately, and into the possession of eighty-four thousand
pounds ; the whole the funded proprety of his grand-
father.
Mr. HiiNNAM, the young and gay farmer of Cleves,
is about to lead to the Hymeneal Altar the accom-
plished Miss Baisrow, the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Wit,LIAISS.
The vis-a-pi: is chiefly confined to the gallant and
fminate, while the more correctly fashionable occupy
chariot of the day, the barouche, and the dust-
whirling currick of dangerous velocity.

BRIGIIVON, OCTOBER 16.

The refined pleasures that were enjoyed at the Castle
Rooms, at the Master of the Ceremonies' Ball, on
Thursday evening, is still the current topic of fa-
shionable conversation. The number of elegant in
dividuals there exceeded considerably five hundred,
an assemblage, excepting on particular occasions, the
Prince's birth-day balls, for instance, greater than ever
was known before. The company began to assemble
soon after seven o'clock, and before eight various fa-
milies from Worthing, Rottingdean, Lewes, and
even Eastbourne, had arrived. Before nine o'clock
the ball-room was crowded, all the rank and beauty
of this place being also there.
The ladies were very splendidly dressed, with a
profusion of diamonds, and,' for the first time h ere
we believe, white was not the most predominating
costume of the belles. Blue and green sarsenets were
in abundance, more so than white, though the latter
still found many admirers. Among those present,
,the following were the most distinguished—
Laxly and Lord Boston, the Countess detruhl, Lord and Lady
Mountnorris, Lady Page, and Min Turner, Lady Pomfret, Mr.
and Mrs. Tierney and family, Mrs. Fairfield and daughters, Mire
Pram, Major Olney and family, Mrs. Paine, Mr. and MI'L
Theaeson and family, the Misses St. John, Lady C. Annesleyie
the three Misses Irby, Miss Blicke, Sir C. Blicke, Mr. Askew,
Sir H. and Miss Goring, Miss Prendergast, the three Misses ad-
Mrs. Olton, Miss ileard, the Officers, principally of the Rent
Norte Artillery, the Sussex, Nottingham, and South Gloucester'.
Militias, with their Ladles, &c. &c.
Dancing in three, sets, about forty couple in each,
commenced at about half past nine o'clock, Lady
POMFRET having called for the sprightly air of " the
Labyrinth," and which was succeeded by " the Royal
Quickstep." Mr. ROBARTS washer Ladyship's part-
ner. Among others on the light fantastic toe at the
opening of the ball, were,
Lady Annesley, the two Misses St. John, daughters of the
late Lord St. John, the three Misses Irby, Lord Boston's dangb-
ten, Mrs. Mullins and her sister, Miss Jones, Miss Blicke, Mrs.
Dring, Miss Goring, the Misses Blaauw, Miss Prendergast, Mrs.
Ruding, Mrs. Shene, Mrs. and Miss Beard, &c. dm •
About twelie o'clock the refreshments of tea and
coffee were introduced, and dancing, before one, was
resumed with the sprightly movement called " Cale-
donia," and was not discontinued until nearly two
hours subsequently. It was considerably after four
o'clock before the company began generally toretire.
The polite conduct of the Master of the 'Ceremonies
was the grateful theme of general animadversion. •

thought will ultimately get the better of her late se-

PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND.

• •
• CHARLOTTESTOWN, SEPT. 10.
Arrived the brig Elizabeth, SHIPLEY, from Teign•
mouth ; barque Two Sisters, HALLAIIAN, from
Poole ; brig Mars, COSTHRESS, from Oban, Scotland,
with 94 wretched Highlanders ; seven died on-their
passage. On the 2d of September his Majesty's .
schooner Perry, of 10 guns, Lieutenant GooLn,
Vice-Admiral Sir ISAAC COFFIN, Bart. on a visit to
his sister, Mrs. CALLERCR, and to attend the wed-
ding of his two nieces, the Misses CALLBECK, two
beautiful and accomplished girls : the elder to -PETER
DELGARNFS, of Liverpool, Esq. ; and the younger,
Miss SOPHIA CALLIIIICK, tO GEORGE IRVING, Esq.
very respectable Merchant. Ths weddings are to be
solemnized to morrow morning, and Mr. Dv.zoattmes
and his bride will immediately after sail to Pict on
with Sir ISAAC COFFIN.

It is somewhat singular, that these young ladies,
who have been seen and admired in the most fashion-
able circles in Great Britain and the States of Ame-
rica, should return without husbands, and yet find
them on their native island.

Sir ISAAC COFFIN was saluted on his landing with
13 guns froth the battery, which was returned by
the schooner with eleven. He has bees' entertained
by all the principal inhabitants—the Goyernor, Gen.
FANNING, the Chief Justice COLctouott, Colonels
NOIR, TOWNSHEND, HOLLAND, SCC. &c.—There is an
intelligent American Gentleman here, from South
Carolina, with whom we have had much conversa-
tion relative to the embargo; he is decidedly of opi-
nion that it will not be t:,,:en off whilst JEFFERSON
continues President, and whilst he does, it is thought
he will have a large majority in Congress in his inte-
rest. He speaks of its effect in America with horror
and detestation.
Arrived this morning the ship Alfred, Captain
B&ATSON, at the north side of the island, from Ply-
mouth, as did yesterday the brig Britannia, Captan
STREET, from Plymouth, last flout Boston, in thir-
teen days. He confirms, is part, the account of the
American Gentleman. The Officers at Boston would
allow him to bring nothing from thence, and would
scarcely suffer him to get fresh provisions whilst in
harbour.

The house of MORTIMER and Co. have already
loaded this season fifty-three ships and brigs with
lumber, and most probably will many more.
Cleared this day the Elizabeth, SHIPLEY" for Liver-
pool.

FATAL EFFECTS of eating CHA.MPIGNONS.

M 1 TCII OCT. 17.—This day an inquest was held
before Ci LES .lextbrErr, E sq. Coroner for the county
of Surrey, respecting the deaths of Mary Attwood,
aged 14, Eliza, aged seven, and Sarah, aged five
years, daughters of WILLIAM Arrwoon, of Mitcham,
•
Print-cutter.
Mr. Parrott, Surgeon, deposed, that on Tuesday the 11th inst.
he isfas desired to visit Wm. Attwood, his wife, and four daughters,
who were supposed to be poisoned in consequence of their having
eaten stewed Charnpignons en the preceding day • that he elated
them immediately, when he found each of them: suffering under
severe vomiting and purging, attended with great pain in the !trod, •
and violent pain in the bowels; and that he administered such •
remedies as appeared to him best calculated to get rid of the of-
' fending matter, as he knew of no method whereby vegetable poi-
son could be decomposed that he attended the said children till
their respective deaths, which happened as follows :—Mary died
at two o'clock on Friday morning, Eliza at half an hour after, and
Sarah at half-past four on Saturday morning—that they died vio-
lently convulsed—that on opening the body of Sarah, whoseemed
to suffer the most excruciating pain in the bowels, no appearance
I of disease existed in any part of the alimentary canal: hence he
inferred that the poison acted more immediately upon the brain
and.nerves.

No T r.—These people were intoxicated within ten minutes after
having eaten their meal, and the eldest daughter observed to hR
father how cheerful they ail were. This exhilarating effect was
soon followed by stupor, and all the symptoms already described.
A dog which had partaken of the same stave, died on Wednes.
day morning, apparently in great agonies. Mr. Attwood, his
wife, and their daughter Hannah, aged I I years, are recovering*
the latter, however, only eat two spoonful's of the stew, alledging
that she did not like Its flavour. It is here proper to remark, that
the stew was made in an iron vesseL
From this statement of facts it is sincerely hoped that persons
will in future be cautious of purchasing what are usually named
Champignoas, as these fungi are indiscriminately gathered off the
Commons in the vicinity of London, and sold at the London
markets for the purpose of making ketehup, with the addition of
relleirum
. .
The herring fishery seems to promise an ablindant
harvest to the Deal fishermen, a great number being'
brought in every day by their fishing boats. The
herrings were selling yesterday on the coast at thirty
for a shilling.- It is feared one of the boats was lost -
on Friday evening last, the PANDORA gun-brig having
taken a man off the nets who had been on them for .
six hours, and landed him at Margate. It is probable
that from the great quotntity of fish they had in slid a
gale eenting on, the boat could not rise to the sea, and
consequently foundered.
Tug Costzr.—The appearance of the Comet, on
Sunday evening, at eight, P. M. was *early as men-
tioned on Saturday. Its situation, in the heavens, may
be found in a very simple way, by cutting a. common
playing-card, from corner to corner, lengthways, Or
sti4gonally,--through the centre, and applying the
longest side of either piece (the shortest side being
placed on the left) so as to bring it to coincide, in a
direct line, witli the Pleiades and the planet Jupiter.
The other tiro sides converging to a point, will show
the Comet, visible to the naked eye.
Tuesday se'ranight, Peter Peddle, horse-dealer at
Gibbet Toll, county of Mid-Lothian, was committed
to the Tolbooth, Dundee; accused of violating the
person of Agnes Lowson, a young woman, while on
.the roadfroin Edinburgh to Kilconquhar, to visit her
mother. The prisoner has a wife and family. We
are inforined that the young woman is since dead, in
consequence of the barbarous treatment she received.
Never was a greater blessing sent to a fond parent
than the American Soothing Syrup for children cut-
ting their teeth. • It immediately relieves ther ago-
nizing pain,-ind quiCkly brings the ,teeth through.—
The child of Mr. Vesey, tallow -chandler, James-
- Lone-acre, was at Death's - deer, and a mere
skeleton, with a bad cough, and a relatalion of the
bowels, to an alarming degree : Mrs. Vesey only
rubbed his ms three times, and he had two double
teeth through, and soon got all Uri rest, without pain,
and' is now a heautiful boy. 'This invaluable Medi-
cine is sold by the Proprietor, J. Join sox, No. 91,
runvustur-stoset, Orftiri-road; and 'alto retailed by
Mr. freLbura,* 42; Corahlll, at 2s. 9d. a bottle.-

POLICE, e.

MANstov House.—Monday,Johnese,-•• .firalam.
and some other crimps, were brought up for further
examination, on the charge of a seaman; named Jatnes
Cobbe, for having exorbitantly over-charged him fie
his conveyance in a boat from on board his ship, or,
her arrival in the Thames, off Gravesend to Billings.
gate, and detaining his watch coat, over-ails, and sea
chest. '' •
Cobbe stated, dot these men came an board the
vessel, and that Salomon told him if he would induce
the other men to come on board his boat, he should
be conveyed himself for nothing. He said that So-1
lonion was one of a party of others who had accom.
panied him, one of whom was Abraham, who came
up in the boat with him to Billingsgate, and there ins
sisted upon being paid one pounddfUr his conveyance,
which he paid him out of the money be received for
his ship's order to receive his wages at thelndia House,
and which he sold to one of them. His wages for
eighteen months, at 21. per month, came to 361. and
he received from the other :kw that purchased it, but
151. and this man also had from him an ivory tea-
chest, for which he paid him but three shillings, al-
though, besides its own value, at least 365. it was full
of gunpowder tea.
Solomon denied that he knew any thing about the
coat, awl said that he was but one of a number of
s who had hired the boat Princess Royal, on
E= of which the. Complainant and several other.
seamen were brought !up to :Billingsgate : that he
himself was not on board the boat from the time she
quitted the ship, and had received no money of the
complainant.
The Lotto IVEavon, however, told him this plea was
a mere trick ; for he had acknowledged himself to I*
one of those who had. hired the bout for the day, asd
therefore it was immalerial Whether the coat and chest
were detained, or the exorbitant charge made by him-
self or by his associates ; he must be answerable for
them. His Lordship added, that the frequency of
complaints made to him by poor fellows of.this kind
coming from long voyages, wl-o are thus met in the
River by crimps and
.pretended agents, and fleeced
in a couple of days of the fruits of their hard labour
for a,s many years, were such as • called loudly fur re-
dress, and some effectual effort to put a stop Winch
fraudulent transactions
Mr. Abraham now undertook to be spokesmen.,
'He said it was a 'common thing for the Gravesend
lioatnien to come alongside India vessels, on di-4i ar.
rival in the River, and to charge the men two, and
sometimes even five guineas fox their passage ins to
London ; and that for the boat he had hiredon4sie
occasion, he was obliged to make the owner a resent •
of five guineas, as an inducement to go at all ;--.-and
afterwards to allow a certain rate per head for every
passenger obtained: and with respect to his wages,
there were first to be deducted twd months pay adr
vanced him in the outset of the voyage, for which
. the Purser charged three mouths and a half ! two other
months pay advanced him in India, at the same rate;
stamp duty on the bill of sale, one guinea and a hay ---
and Abraham's charge of discount for advancing the
remainder at 5 per chat. left the balance in favour of
the complainant only 151.
Thus did it aepear, that fries: the very outset of.
• their voyage to the re-landing in London, these poor
fellows are condemned to run the gauntlet between
fraud and extortion; and that even the honest Purser, aft
olficerand shipmateof the same vessel,doonet scruple.
for the advance of four months' pay in the course of
the voyage, on which he stands no sort of risk, to
charge the ***rate premium of raw full months':
wages ; that is 61. usance for the.advance of 81. for,
nine and eighteen months ; and that instead of
poor fellows being landed at Gravesend by the ihip'h
thio
boats, they are de,fivered over to thoseiresh.ovir #1..?
rates, to be fukher fleeced of theirhard earned pdtassei.
The Loan Karon *insisted in the fsrst Intance,
that the ivory tea chest should be returned to Ciobbe,
on his repaying the three shillings he received tbr it,
and that, Solomon should either -return his.other ar- '
ticres, or pay him the fair. value, which Cobbe esti-

A man named Adam:, who was detected in the fact
of breaking into the counting-house of an eminent
maker of Army Accoutrements, in King-streeti
Westminster, was apprehended by Renny, and al:
though he had a good character given of him by hit
Serjeant, he was committed to answer the charge of
having tools for housebreaking about him, at the n
Sessions.
Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, as the longs
bodied Chelsea Coach was turning the corner of New-
castle-street, in the Strand, the near fore-wheel of the
coach was suddenly jerked by coming in contact with
the spur of the post and the iron grate of the sewer,
in consequence of which the coachman and two out-
side passengers were precipated into the street. Two
of them were much hurt,. and the third, a Mr Bow-
MAN, of Ludgate-hill, received so dreadful a contu-
sion on his lied that his life is despaired of.
The Bow Coach was overturned in I.eadenhall-
street, on Fr:dav, with such violence, that a Mr. ,
JOHNSON and a "Lady who were passengers iiiside,
were very dangerously bruised and have been since
confined to their beds.
The winter has set in unusually early this year ;
