TrET.II4.JUTH, OCTOBER 29.

This day complete; the meritorious exertions of
Mr. BRATHWALTE, in recovering the property of the
Abergavenny Eaff Indiaman, wrecked off this port
tome time fince. This Gentleman has been unwea-
ried, as well as molt fortunate in his endeavours, for
the interelt of the Eaft India Company. It is de-
vi'u•ly to be hoped that the laving of fo valuable
a part of the cargo, by means of his diving bell,
accompanied with to much (kill, ingenuity, and un-
daunted refolution, will fecure to him a remunera-
tion, if poflible, eqnal to his merits.
The termination of the gale, with a fine gentle
breeze sit North eat!, has produced an abundant fup-
ply of fifh. In the market cod, of near 20 pounds
weight, are fold at 3s. each ; and herrings in perfec-
tion, at 6d. a dozen, and, as the feafon advances, they
will confiderably fall in price.
Every advantage has been taken of the pleafant
change of weather. The walks and rides again ap-
pear, as ufual, decked with beauty and falhion.—
Amor2g the group of pedefli fans were, the fafcinating
Miff HAWKE, Mrs. BEAM, Mrs. RICHARDS, the two
Mils BlNes, Lieutenant Colonel HEAD, General
Corrow, &c.; and among the m*ny carriages (por-
ted on the Sands were thole of Lord and Lady
HAWKE, Captain Iticit, Mr. C. Buzrom, and Mrs.
GREEN LEY.

Our 'Theatre lan night produced a bumper, being
for the benefit of Mr. SANDFORD, aid by defire of
Lieut. Colonel HkAD, of the 13th Light Dragoons.
The perforraances were the favorite new Comedy of
7he Heir at Law, and the new popular Farce of the
Weathercock. The Charader of Dellor Panglofi, by
Mr. SANDFORD ; Zekiel Howehun, by Mr. WESTON ;
Daniel Dowlafr, by Mr. BARN Es, and Oct& I!omefpun, •
by Mif, HUGHES, were moil ably fuflained, and met
with loud and univerfal applaufes. SANDFORD, in •
Triliram Fickle, was escrlient. This Performer is
one of the firß in his profeffion, and has long been a
great favourite here.—The Band of the ph played
feveral pieces of mufic in molt excellent fide.

Mr. VANCOUVIL'S Survey of Devon(hire has jult
made its appearance. This Gentleman, whole name
is fo well known in the alive world, has been fedu•
bully employed during the Lift twelve months, in a
perfonal infpeelion of- that extenfive and important
county. He is now engaged in a Survey of Hamp.
(hire.
Mrs. MODIE has been performing at the Brighton
Theatre for this month pan ; and, during that time,
has obtained confiderable fame.

The two Bucks who began the row, on Thurfday
night, at the door of Covent Garden Theatre, fuffered,
pretty feverely for their fun, and we hope will he fully
fallible of their error. The other party (we under-
Rand a Captain in the Navy and an Officer of the
sth Regiment) received no injury whatever.
Lord MONSON and Lady SARAH SAYILLLE were
married, at twelve o'clock yellerday, at St. George's
Church, Hanover fquare, by the Rev. Dr. RIDLEY.
The Earl and Counters of ME XBOROUGH gave their
lovely daughter away, in pretence of the Earl and
Countefs, and Conntefs Dowager of Essex, Viccount
Pcrinnacroti, the Mifs Memories* who Were bride's
maids; Mr. SwalwsoH, and the two Mifi FAULK•
HERS. The bride was elegantly dreffed in white fatin,
richly trimmed with point lace, with a white Lice
veil, and a (mall bouquet. Atter the ceremony, the
company partook of an elegant breakfafl at the Conn-
tefs of ME x BOROUGH'S houfe, in Daver•flreet. The
new married pair left town, for the feat of the Dow-
ager Lady Minnow, near Twickenham.
On Thurfday the Parith Church of Windfor was
opened, arta having undergone a thorough repair,
with the performance of the leered Oratorio of 71,
111rgab, under the patronage of their Royal High-
nelfes the Dukes ref Ruse and CAMBRIDGE, as well
as with the I.inetion of their MAJESTIES and the
Pitruerisscs. The Royal Dukes attended ; the prin-
cipal families in the town and neighbourhood were
Rife) prefent. Lady CRANLEY, and the two Hon.
hliffes MURRAY, went in her MAJESTY'S carriage.
The Royal Dukes tnnk their feats exaltly at twelve
o'clock, when, in honour of their pretence, the Coro-
nation Anthem was immediately performed.
The choruffes wete well fuppoited by the Gentle-
men belonging to St. George's Chapel Chair. Her
MAJESTY was graCiolllly pleated to grant permillion
to her band to perform ; and, for the slumber of
vocal and inarutnental performers, we will venture
to fay, this delightful Orato►io was never better got
up. The performance was +weal-toned by the ex-
penees of repairing the Church, having far exceeded
the eilimate. The fuhfcriptions and money received
for the tickets, at los. 6d. each, amounted to near
toool. We under (land his MAJESTY lubler ibed roil.;
her MAJESrYt 501.; the Royal Dukes, 251. each;
