lIETMOIPTII, Sirr. 24.

The launch of the Royal Yeoman (a my- fine
Indiaman) from the Dock here this morning,
afforded us a truly beautiful fpedacle. though on a
fmall fcale. as it was impaible to give her a full
(wing, oaring to the narrownefs of the river. All
the houfes on both fides that commanded the lealt
profped of the river. were filled with company ; the
heights below the Rifie Camp. and the oppofite
lbore, were completely covered with fpedator►. The
tide anfwering exadly at a quarter before eight
o'clock. notice was fent to the Royal Lodge that all
was ready. The King preferred taking a ride to the
camp, and her Ma jelly and the Princelles were efeort-
ed from the Lodge by a guard of an hundred men. un-
der the command of Capt. Hawklhaw and Lieut.
Dowdal, of the 3 tit regiment, and Lieut. Cameron,
of the Fufileers, to the houfe of Mr. Wilks, on the
Quay, on the top of which an awning was prepared
for their accommodation, and from which they bac:
a petted view of the furrounding feene. The Rol i 1
Vifitant* afterwards fat down to a public breakfail.
of which a long train of beauty partook; there were
but few •Gentlemen, betides the Officers of the
Guard. The men were hofpitably entertained with
bread, cheefe, and beer. We were forry to ob-
ferve that his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Cumber-
land arrived rather late for the launch. Her Ma.
jetty and the PrincelTes were re conducted to the
Lodge; after which they walked for Come time on
the Eiplanade, and went to fea for the remainder of
the day.

Yeßerday evening there was a general meeting of
all the Gentlemen in any manner cow:ldled with the
Exchequer of Ireland.
The Cowl cat.xoe of the Excnmyez gave an en-
tertainment yeßerday, on his return to his feat at
Putney Heath& to a (eke party of the Members of
Adminiftration ; of the company were the Right
Hon. Lord CIISTLIILSAOH, Lords Mu LUILAVI, Hat-
HAWKISBUILT, and Lord ELIOT.

Mr. and Mrs. SHULMAN left Edinburgh on Sunday
laa on a tout to the North.

The Marquis and Marchionefs of LANSDOWN are
at Ilfracombe, in the north of Devon, where they
fpend the remainder of the bathing feafnn. Amongft
the numerous vifitors this rummer at that much ad-
mired romantic watering place, we have noticed Lord
Virceunt KILWARDIMI Lord Wass Saystoua, Sir
Bouactitaa and Lady Wait', General Bain' and
family, General &rusts!, Commit Honer Bowie and
family, Colonel and Mrs. kw's, Mr. and Mrs. Sm.
✓ Las, Archdeacon Tulsa El and family, Mrs. %a-
✓ose, and Mrs. Baows, ste-. Su.

COTIXT GARDEII.—Tbe Comic Opera of The Fag-
* Fkd, was lea night performed. Meffrs. MUNDEII
and BLaacsaan, and Mrs. Sr. Laos's, Mrs. Hyd-
rae:as, and Mrs. ATKtits, were as attraftive as ever.
ImcLuau was in admiral tone, and loudly applaud-
ed ; and Htst.'s Palestine was as well as could be ex-
petted in the abfence of BRAq AM. Mil:Tynan, in
Ifaddrias, experienced the moll flattering reception.
Shy introduced a Song as a fubftitute for another,
which WKS loudly encored. Rosined Marietifm fol-
lowed, in which FAWCETT and Mrs. MATTOCKS
afforded vay high entertainment.

Some affetted Critics, allow that Mr. Kama La's
reprefentation of Luca. is a wondetful and excellent
performance, yet pretend to fay it is not afting--Well
then, we may fay of it as was faid of Por s's Patti:trait,
" if it is not ailing, it is fomething better."

Modern Plagiarifts juflify their thefts from the er-
ample of Dr. Youva, who founded his Zauga oe
SH•aaspamists btheile-.-but they fisuuld remember,
it requires talents like his, to alter without disfigur-
ing ; they deform where they meant only to difguife.
We are happy to Rate that the accident wbich
lately betel Mrs. Muria, the mother of Mils Moots.
the young theatrical phenomenon, has not been at-
tended with fo ferions oonfequences as was at firlt
apprehended. Mr. and Mrs. Moms, with their
daugh'ter, have been able to proceed on their journey
to Liverpool; and, at Buxton, Mife MUDIS was en-
gaged to perform for three nights. Hcr firft appear-
ance there was on Saturday the sill, in the charatter
of nett: Nonfat, in the Play, and in that of Rosa/amp
in the Farce of The Sultaa—the honfe was extremely
full, and Mifs MUM was received with the Mama
applaufe. Her next appearance was as Widow Cheer.
in the Jokier': Daughter, and Nell in the Devil to Pay;
and, the third night, as inhina in the WI, and
Canyfip, in the Farce of the Agree:A Surtrize.
A curious bufinefs occurred at the houfe of a gen-
tleman of fortune in the vicinity of Berkeley-fqnare.
on Wednefday sight. The fon of a gallant Defen-
der of his Country formed an attachment for a daugh-
ter of the gentleman before alluded to, while is the
neighbourhood of Southampton, a few weeks fence.
He followed her to town, and made known the caufe
of his journey to the friends of the lady, but there
were infurmountable objeaions to encounter, and af-
ter feveral attempts to gain an interview, he teemed
to abandon the purfuit. On the evening above Rated
the family were alarmed, while at fupper, at the fight
of a aranger abruptly entering the room, with a pif-
tol in his hand, demanding the objea of his wiflies.
The old gentleman remonfirated in vain, but the
young man perfifted in his claim. He knocked down
one of the fervants to gain admittance. At length
the father was under the neceffity of haring him ft-
cured. The bufinefs, we under/and, will become a
fubjea of legal inveßigation.
Moans& or Ma. BLicar.—Yellerday evening, at
a quarter pall fix o'clock, two Of the Bow-ltreet Of-
ficers went to Greenland Dock, to the houfe lately be-
longing to the unfortunate Gentleman whole hor-
rid murder is fo much the topic of general converfa-
tion ; when they took into cuftody Mr. Richard
Spatch and Helier Kitchener, whom they immediate
ly brcught to town.
Tliefe perfons afterwards underwent a private fe-
parate examination at the houfe of Mr. GRAHAM,
the Magißrate. The maid ferrant was firft called in,
about eight o'clock, and her examination kited
nearly three hours. Another hour was occupied in
queftioning Spatch.
At twelsle o'clock the Magiarate fufpended his in-
veßigation. He was to refume it to-dal'; and it is
fuppoied that three or four private examinations will
take place preparatory to a public one.
In the interim, both the prifoners were ordered to
be kept in cuitody.

AYR, SEPT, !co.—About feven o'clock onoTuafday
morning a very heavy gale came on; the filhing-
boats bad gone out in the morning, and were off the
coalt of Carrick. They were obliged to run for (bel-
ief., and one of them with four men in her, when a
little to the fouthward of the harboir, having got her
(beet entangled that it could not be readily let gn,
upfet, the mall came out, and the rolled over fevcral
times. Two of the men with difficulty were able to
hold by the beams t Robert M'Gee was in the boat
the third time the righted, but was unable to hold by
her longer. Wm. Cooke, a very relpeßable old
man, was unable to regain the boat. After ffie up-1
fet he was teen by his fon and John Taylor, the two
furvivors ; he appeared 'landing up to the middle in
the water, but a wave inaantly dallied him over,
and they faw him no more. Their fad fituation was
feen from the harbour; a boat was inffantly put off,
manned by }Lillie Cuthbert, of Newton, two Meffrs.
Ritchies, and Mr. Mathie. They pulled to the
boat and took out the two furvivors, in a_ very ex-
_ _

haufled hate, the (pray was breaking ♦ery high, and
they could fee nothing of the other two. It is wor-
thy of remark, that although the white Misery has
been profecuted here to a confiderable extent, for
nearly forty years, this is the firft fatal accident that
has happened. A confiderable degree of anxiety
prevailed refpetting the fate of the other lout boats
which had not returned; however, they had flood in
for Cullean bay. The Earl of CassitArs Peeing
them in dißrefs, went down to the beach, and as they
reached the &ore his fervants affitted in &curing their
boats, and the Mermen were taken to his hofpita-
ble Cattle, where they were comfortably regaled, and
got their clothes dried. His LordStip alfo difpatched
meffenger to their friends to acquaint them of their
fafety, and when the florm had fublided they return-
ed to Ayre. M'Ghee has left a widow and five chi'•
then, in the moR indigent eircumftances. Subfcrip-
, tiuns for the relief of this pour family are opened here.

h is a es:oil:on faB, that a Gentleman who has de.
voted a great part of his life to the difeafes tor horfes,
and pratifes now at E.. ter, has carried his obferva•
tion to fuck a pitch of perfedlion, that he can tell
with prenfion the craft ailment, and its degree, merely
upon the view of any animal, without being in-
formed of the preceding fymptoms. Thus moll far-
riers, when a hotfe exhibits figns of great pain, give
him Pi7fis, i. e. a Cathartic Ball or Drench; but
Warns, the wan to whom we allude, con-
I tends that an animal will writhe, and appear to be
in tortures, from no Ids than five different internal
caufes, every one of which have different fymptonss,
and of courfe require rfifernd tresesoonth He affirm, I
that that error in the praBice of indifcriminating
Farriers, colts the lives of feveral thoufand Hodes
annually. His Royal Highnefs tine Duke of York
has patronifed this ingenious Mxti, and of his pub•
lication on Farriery no leG than 12,0c0 copies have
been bought by the Army and by individuals is a
