Lord DERBY had a very hard run with his Rag-
hounds on Friday laft ; and on Monday morning
at eleven o'clock, the deer was turned out before
a very large field at Haddington, five miles be-
yond Croydon. The ufual law being given, the
hounds were laid on, and went off in very high Rile
aerofs the country to Bromley Common, Farthing
Down, &c. The deer being frequently headed,
kept traverfing the country in different direaions,
and was at length taken near Blechingly church,
after a very fevere run of two hours and thirty-
three minutes.

His Grace the Duke of ARGYLL has, as laft year,
atthorized his Chamberlain to give a confiderable
lum to be difpofed of by the Farmer Society in
Kintyre, in addition to their premiums this year,
for agricultural operations within the diftriet ;
and the Society refolved, that fo much thereof
should be given as premiums to the beft plowmen.
Accordingly thirty-three ploughs, with two horfes
in each, without a driver, were let to work, on the
a3d and 25th days of February laft, on two differ-
ent fields. The fira premium for the north di-
va-ion, was adjudged to John M'llrearie, fervant
to Lieutenant-Colonel PORTER of Knockbay.—
The fecond to William M,Millan, fon of DANIEL
WMILLAN, farmer in Kilmichael. The third to
JOHN JOHNSTON, farmer in Langa. For the booth
diviSion, the firß premium was adjudged to Ro-
e Err TURNER in Tonvioch. The fecond to Do-
nald M,Reary, fervant to CHARLES MiVICCAR, Efq.
of Killellan. The third to ANDREW BREAKEN-
RIDGE, farmer in Drumlin. The plowing in ge-
neral was fo well executed, that the Judges were
for fome time difficulted in determining to whom
of the competitors the preference was due.

The Princefs of WALES gave a grand dinner on
Sunday at her houfe at Blackheath, to a party of
Nobility and Gentry, and in the evening there was

• The Earl of STRATIMOR ell Fete, on Thurfday
evening laft, at Lancafter, was the moll brilliant ever
known in that part of the kingdom. It was given,
we are informed, in compliment. to the Ladies
and Gentlemen of that town and neighbourhood,
in return for the civilities received by his Lordfhip
during his refidence at Wyerfide.—About nine
o'clock, the company, Which was very numerous,
was ufhered into the ball room, and the dance was
led off by Lord STRATHMORE and Lady Su SAN CAR-
PINTER, and continued with great fpirit till after
midnight. The room was decorated with feftoons
of laurel and flowers, and beautiful tranfparencies
—the device reprefenting Britannia extending her
friendly hand to Commerce, and railing her from
defpondency, had a good effea. About one o'clock,
the company retired to the fupper-room, where a
"collation was ferved up in the &ft (tile of elegance,
and confifted of the choiceft viands. Many loyal
and appropriate toafts were given, and Mr. Ms &S-
-DI TH and feveral others added to the conviviality
of the company by a variety of Tongs and glees.
This room was alto elegantly ornamented witii
felloons of evergreens anciflowers,variegated lamp
and traarifparencies. After fupper, dancing was
refumed, and continued till near eight o'clock on
Friday morning, when the company retired, highly
gratified with the hofpitality and politcnefs of their
noble boil.

- The mink of GOD Cave the King was introduced
into the overture to the new piece of Edward of
Scoilawd, which has made fo much noire in Paris,
and feveral returned emigrants, who had been ac.
cuftomed to rife at the found of the tune in the
London Theatres, role alto in Paris. This attiaft-
ed much notice, and other perfons role to fee what
was the matter, till at laft the whole houfe was in
a !late of furprife, few knowing the caufe.
THE Acrs.—• The Dutch Paintings, collated
by the Elder Grime. Facet. and his Son, but lately
the pi operty of the deceakd Counters of HOLDER-
/MU, were brought to the hammer, on Satur-
day, at Caairrta s ; and the anzatemre had, for
tome days before, the treat of infpeting them.—
It might very appropriately be called a choice col-
lation, and fold remarkably well ; for, of the
eighty p;Etures of which it confided, there was not
one to which a lover of the Arts could be indif-
ferent. The following were the prices of tome of

'rile following are laid to be the withes of his

JOHN RUSSELL :-
6cocl. to Mr. Fox, es a tellimony of refpeet and eftecm for
his great powers and patrlotifro.
60001. to Lord Prdton (fun of the Earl of Ludlow.)
6cool. to Robert Adair, Efq. his Coufin.
20CCi. per annum to Lady Maynard.
30,c001.t0 Lord William Ruflell, to exonerate him from and
ceibarratiments he may have incurred. whi,h, to-
gether with the eftate at Strratluan, will make his

The following curious bequeßs are contained in
the Will of THomes ROBINSON, late of Roebarton,
no. Taunton, in Somerfetthire, who died lately.
The Executors are the Governor of the Bank of
England, and ANZAHAN NIWLAND, Efq. the prin-
cipal Caihier :

All my property in the Rocks I give to the
Alliance of Government—it is my voluntary con-
tribution to the defence of the nation • and I ap-
point the Governor and and Cafhier Of the Bank
of England Executors and Truftees ; and I trufl
they will have it placed to the proper account im-
mediately after my death.
4, All I have in Taunton, in money or goods of
any kind, I give to my fervant Elizabeth Clark,
jn requital for her taking care of me during two
long illnelres, the firil of which was caufed by
poifon given me by Mifs Hannah Shute, which
took out all my teeth, caufed two or three impoft-
humes, and from which I recovered by miracle
by a milk diet." _ _

One of the firft and greateft oble_ects of that en-
lightened Magiftrate, Sir JOHN FIELDING, was
that of keeping up a reciprocal Communication
and Correfpondence with the ikeing Magiftrates
in every County throughout the Kingdom, and
which he continued with unabating vigour to the
day of his death.—The like fyftem haring fence
been invariably purfued by Mr. BOND, and, from
his eagernefs to eatry into execution the withes of
Country Magiiirates, their partiality for him, by
their general Correfpondence with him, and a con-
Rant Communication of events, within their re
fpeetive Counties, muff be highly gratifying to
his feelings, and attended with much benefit to
Society.

At Cuafield Market on Friday,every fpecies of
grain was extremely dull of fale.
The yuung wheat,. throughout Suffex look as
promifintr as they were ever known to do at this
feafon or the year ; and the ground is getting in
a fine wor!zing (tate for the reception of Lent corn.
At no former period were the prices of honks
Co high as they are now. Laft week two hunters,
the property of a Gentleman in Leicefterfhirc,
were fold, the one for feven hundred and fifty
pounds, the other for fix hundred and fifty pounds.
Mr. DUPRE, of Portland Place, purchafed the
former, and Lord Foxty the latter.
Laft week Henry Harris, a blind man, who
goes by the name of Blind Henry, climbed up a
poplar tree 6o feet high, which hangs over the
river Stour, very near to Stourbridge, which he
cropped in a workman-like manner without any
affiftance ; two cart-loads of the kid wood were af-
terwards taken out of the water.

On Monday fe'nnight, a French Gentleman,
named Vk'lor Deville, landed at Balt Bourne, from
an open boat, in which he had alone worked his
patrage, in twenty hours, from Dieppe, and in his
adventure no doubt encountered much difficulty,
if not danger ; but under what influence or neeef-
fity is not known. Having no palfport, he was
foon after landing taken into cultody, and the fame
evening brought to the White Hart, in Lewes,
where, obferving fmall tricoloured cockade,
which his hat exhibited, much attra&ed the eyes
of the fpedators, and fancying it might be offen-
five, he fecretly removed the Republican badge,
and dropped it in the room. By order of HENRY
SHELLEY, Efq. before whom he was taken, he was
the next morning efcorted to London by one of the
peace officers of. Lewes, who on I'ucfday took him
to the Alien Office, where, after undergoing a
long examination, he was fuffered to depart on his
parole. _
