The tranfport4 m *.hich the Minds embarked
yellerday, got under *eigh at bite oiclock this after-
noon, with the wiiid it South, and arrived foon after-
wards in the Downs. Their departure attracted an
uncommonly great crowd of fpelators, many of
whom leaned much concerned at bidding them fare-
well. Every vela, in failing by the pier-head, re-
ceived three cheers, which the troops retusted, with
every appearance of grateful acknowledgment: The
Officers, and moll of the N.m.commiffioned (Meer;
were permitted to fleep on (bore lafi night, to give
them an opportunity of completing the arrangement
of their private concerns. As loon as the troops
were all embarked, about one hundred horfes, chiefly
belonging to the Officers, were put to andlon in the
Fier, and fold in general for very low prices. Some
hones, well worth twenty guineas, went off for five
pounds, and in two or three inflances for lefs. To
morrow we are to have a very large embarkation of
troops, confifling principally of General MOOR k's
highly difeiplined brigade from Shorncliff, and four
car brigades of artillery from Canterbury and Chat
ham. We had a little rain left night and this morn-
ing, but the air is remarkably mild for this advanced
feafnn of the year. The Northumberlandthire Militia,
commanded by Lord Louvaiss, are to do duty bet;
here and at Margate during the winter, in the room
of the Perth arid Renfrewthire regiments. Two com-
panies.of them marched into Margate yellerday and ,
three to-day ; the remainder will conic into Ramf-
gate, it is fuppofed, to-morrow or Saturday.

DOPER, OCTOBER is.

Since I wrote lall nothing has occurred, except the

who took the command. •

The to Surrey muttered about 320 rank and file;
Captain DAIS'S riflemen, 42 rank and file, and the
Lambeth and Chriftchorch made a very decent mofier
for fo ilt,rt a notice.

That part of the orders which related to a (ham
fight was difpenfed with—the ground, on being
furveyed, was found too wet and fwampy for that
purpofe.

DRUILY•LAIII.—The School for Scandal was lan night
reprefentrd with confide Table eifeEt. Mrs. Joaoam's
1 ady Teazle was as good a piece of aching as ever.—
The auditors were highly amufed with this excellent
Aa refs.

THrtatas, Covert. GARDlll.—Shakefpeare's As
You Lilt It was laft night perforMed at this Theatre,
the part of Rofafind being fullained by Mils SMITH
with that fuccefs which attends moR of her efforts.
Her aftion was generally unembarreffed, but her
gaiety had the appearance of being forced, and the
delivered the fentiments of the author as if more Ru.
dious to avoid offence, than confident of her power
to pleafe, by giving the rein to nature and feeling.—
She is a rather pleating breeches figure, and, upon
the whole, was well received; but the cannot Rand
a moment in competition with either of the Wants&
of which the London Stage is already in pollefflon.
Of the yell of the performance, as we have nothing
new, fo have we nothing very flattering to nbferve.
Regan/in° again filled the Theatre at half price.
On friday the 18th int. the foundation Hone of
the new Edinburgh Magdalene Afylum was laid by
the Right Hon. the Lord Provoli. His Lordthip
was attended by the Hon. the Judge of Police, by
Mr. JOHN PATERSON, architeft, and alfo by a con&
derable number of the Clergy and Gentlemen of the
city and neighbourhood, who patronife the Inftitution.
In the Hone was depofired a fcaled bottle, contain-
ing various papers relating to the rife, progrers, and
prelent (late of the Afylum. The ceremony was con-
cluded by a very appropriate prayer from the Rev.
Mr. WALKER, one of the Minftfers of Cannogate.
The Kilmeny (Perthshire) annual Greyhound
Matches took place there on the s ith intl. The day
was fine, the ground in good order, and the company
numerous, and in high fpitits. Many fine dogs were
up, and feveral clofe matches were run :—the dogs
from the weliern difirift were evidently fuperior.—
During the day the company were highly gratified
and amufed by the dexterity of one of the gentlefilen's
fervents at hare finding, he heving, within the (pace
of two miles, and in let' than two hours, found fix
hares in their feats, an allonifhing inftance of profi-
ciency in one of the moft difficult of die fportfinan's
qualifications. After the (ports of the day were con-
cluded, the company adjourned to Nteoc's inn,
Woodhaven, to regale upon a good dinner presqu4y
ordered, where they (pent the time to a late hour in
the night, with much harmony and Nig! gin.
