By three o'clock the Pier, the Clif, the balm;

every (pot from which thole flossier amuftments
could be' viewed, were crowded with fpeaatora.
Apparently not left than ten thoufand perfons
were prefent. The faihionables were all in their
chariots on the Sands. About haltafter.' font

was hoified the fhift, decorated- with various riot

and endeavoured to recover his ground;, and,

The whole concluded about half after (even

one appeared to enjoy it; but unfortunately the
pleafure of the evening was fontewhat alloyed by a
riot, commenced by, the Captain of one of theMar-
gate Hoys, and Tome of the Porters. There
were Tome black eyes, bloody notes, torn cloaths,
and otherwaris gent; but no ferioue confequences
enfued ; each party retired, apparently fatisfied
withthe injury done the other.
The Ball laR night at Benfon's rooms, was very
thinly attended. Ile Balls of Monday night have
not been much countenanced this feafon, though
the Matter of the Ceremonies ha: tiled his unnoft
exertions to collea company ; and though the

accommodation, for feveral weeks back, contented
