BOGNOR ROCKS, AUGUST 19.

Mr. PITT has kill written for a houfe here; a
circumflance rather orange, confidering his num.
tion on the fra at Walmer.
We have had a vifit from Mrs. FirzuERBERT,
Admiral Pavwi, &c. for a couple of days. The
moment the arrived, the was waited on by Lord
and Lady Srousgorr, the Hon. Mrs. Bur Ls. &c.
The London papers have fent the Duchcfs of
NORTHUMBERLAND among us; we fhould be very
happy to fee her Grace, and her amiable daugh-
ters; but hitherto we have not had that pleafure.

Lady LANOFORD, and the three Ladies.'f H sH N E,
are the life of Bognor, which, confidering we have
no public place of amufement, or place of refort,
but the Library and the Beach, wants fomething
to enliven it. Their Ladyfhips Alembic every
evening on the public walk, and quiz the prome-
naders, from the Peer to the nurfery maid, and
from the infant in frocks to thofe in the lag Rate
of childhood, in their dotage.—Their remarks are
inoffenfive, pleafant, and many of them witty.
At my leifure 1 will fend you a Ruing of them.
The Marchionefi of Barn is here, with her three
daughters the Ladies THYNNE; they affociate very
much with Lord and Lady LANGFORD, and the
Earl and Countefkof LIMIRICK.
Lord and Lady Srourroa, Lady CLIFFORD,
and the Hon. Mrs. BUTLER, are moftly cont.
panions, but all occafionally mil together. Lord
and Lady NEWBURGH refide about a mile from
hence, hut generally (hew themfelves in the courfe
of the day.
Among our diftinguldted falhionables, fbould alto be enu-
merated, Lord and Lady Boyne, Mrs. and Mr. Beckford,
brother to the owner of Foothill; Mrs. Grant, a relative of
Ld. Skafklbares ; Capt. and Mrs. Solvan ; Mrs. Levifon Gower,
and daughter; Sir John and Lady Mufgrave ; Sir Thomas,
Lady, and Mils Peachy; and Captain Dalrympk. To 'hide
mot be added many more.
Mr.CHAaLss AWSOTRACEIthaS puffed through,
with three other gentlemen of his party, in high
ftyle as a charioteer. They bad of Mr. TRACES'S
carriages, a fociable, a phaeton, and curricle. Mr.
T. drove four in hand ; and fete up as a rival to
Sir JOHN Lent. They remained but a (hors time,
and went on for Weymouth.
Speaking of equipages, Lady CLIFFORD'S de-
ferves particular notice for its elegance ; moilly a
fociable and four, with fplendid liveries.

Mrs. Powstt has completed her engagements
in Scotland. On Monday !aft the performed La-
flAfackib for her benefit at Glafgow to an over-
owing houfe. She returns to Liverpool at the
requeit of the principal inhabitants to play fix
nights more, for which (he is to receive an hand-
fome compenfation from the Manager.

Such is the very airy conftruetion of that favorite
refort of every circle, the Royal Circus, that
nntwithaanding the new fplendid fpeetacle of
Gonfalvo de Cordaw or The Calque of Grenada draws
fo vaft an affemblage every evening, to enjoy its
interefiing fcenes, which are embellifhed with the
litmolf (picador, and the charming ccmpotifions
of Rail's • together with the Golden Farmer the
elegant darlequin of BYRNE, and the excellent
Columbine of Mrs. HELM' ; joined to the Aerial
Caner:data, the 'pleating fight of the balloon, and
the admired dancing of Mifs ADAMS, there is no
warmth experienced by the audience, except that
of approbation, and which is (hewn amidfi the
moll refrelling coolnefs.

In the treafury of one of the Kings of Perfia
was found a vafe, with the following lines, inlaid
in letters of gold. One cannot but (mile at the
turn in which there is an equal propertion of phi.
lofophy and humour r.'" He who has no wealth

has no repofe ;—he who has no offspring has no

from care."

apprehenfion at Buxton of a fwindler, who had
