and fine Samples eagerly bought up.—ln conic-
quence of the fupply of Foreign Wheat being
fcanty,' and very little Englilh at Market, the
Prices advanced at leaft ss. per quarter. Oats
continue to have a brifk Pale, and were rather on
the advance. Other articles were dull. Flour rote
ss. Mark-Lane is expeCted to be much better fup-
plied on Monday, as an immenfe quantity of Fo-
reign Wheat mull come to market.
Carlifle market, on Saturday lafl, experienced'
a very confiderable reduCtion. The belt wheat did

At Kendal market, on Saturday laft, beef and
mutton fold at 7d. per lb.—veal,and lamb 5d.—

chefler bufhels ; new oats, 3os. per load of 7i
Winchellers.

At Horringer fhtep fair, on Friday laft, there
wa4 but a fmall (hew of lambs to what have been
tribally penned there, but they were for the moil
part in a good condition, and fold readily at an
advance of full 2s. per head above the prices at
Ipfwich.—lndeed fo eager were the buyers that the
Green was entirely cleared before fix o'clock in the
evening.—Mr. ISAAC Bzoosts's and Mr. SHILL!.

Lord Cs smssaso a's health has been complete-
ly reilored by the ialburious waters of Harowgate.
He fet off Lilt week for his beautiful feat of Mount
Stuart, near Londonderry. His Lordlhip will take
the route of Scotland on his return to England.
The Irifh Chancellor (Lord CLARs) is now fo
much improved in his health, as to ride out frt.
quently in the environs of his feat at Mount-Shan-
non, in the county of Clare, which, happily, is now
fo pacified, that his Lordfhip is no longer under
the neceflity, when going out, to gi call for his
pyo/r as regularly as for his bat."

A little difference has arifen between the two
Theatres on a point of etiquette, which has been ex-
aggerated in a public Ratement. It is the cuftom
of the Theatres to announce the opening for the
feafon without fpecifying the Play. Each Theatre
had fixed upon beginning with Richard the Third,
and each fuppofed that the other had intended a
point of jocleilhin, hy bringing forward the fame
Play aftdr the appointed performance was known.
The matter, however, has been amicably explained
and adjuiled. We know not which will finally
prove the Richmond, but we have our opinion. It
is good, however, that the prize Mould be difputed,
and the public profit by it, becaufe it proiuces ex.
cellence in the competitors. Undifputcd pre-emi-
nence has a tendency to corrupt.
On Saturday evening the Bath Theatre opened
for the feafon with Jane Short, in which Mrs. SID.

It was fondly imagined that the general cuflom
of firing at tarzets would have qualified our fportf-
men this year for greater execution than on former
occafions; but it was loon difcovered that targets
are not on the cuing, and that partridges will not

Since Sir R. P. ARDIN was railed to the bench
he has been equally honoured with Lord KEn you
in having a race-horfe named after him. •
A couple, after the cuftomary publication of
banns, lately went to Allftonefield church to be
married ; but in the middle of the ceremony, the
lady changed her mind, and abruptly left the al-
tar, to the indefcribable mortification and embar-
raffment of her anxious and expel ant !wain.
General MACDONALD, the French Ambaffador

When he went to the parade with his fuite, the

It is with the utmolt concern I inform you, that, notwith-
(landing the many prohihitory laws, the pratice of hazard
playing, which no well ordered Government can tolerate, is
here continued without regard to flume or decency. I confider
this as an evil molt pernicious in Its conkquence, and nothing
las than a public and faseloned robbery of the expeetations of
pollerity ; and I am fenfibk that, by conniving at it, it will
take too deep root ever to be eradicated, particularly In thole
receptacles of vice, where Infamous plunderers meditate In cold
blood the delltudloo of whole families, and, by a finer.. cat,
wreft frum the hands &Inexperienced youth the Inheritance of
their =afters, acquired perhaps by centuries of fenrice and
labour, vloLue every principle of honour and humanity, and
not unfrequently bereave the innocent relatives of thole they
have ruined of the means of exeltence. I dent it an ad of ju
lice to dire& the whale power of the law maidt a crime of fuch
magnitude, and to prevent, ere k has acquired vigour, the
dreadful conkquences which may resit from it : Therdore, I
order you ioceffantly to ufe every means of difcovering when
unlawful games are played, to adopt loch medusa as mat be
nceeffary tor fuppreffing them, to arrcft the guilty, without te-
pid to perion or rank, and fabled them to legal cumulation ;
and, et the fame time, to usofmkt to roe the manses of all who
'sopfound offending. (818•••) •t. •
