On Sunday laft the Right Rev. the Lord Bifhop
of EVITFt held an Ordination in the Chapel of
the Bleffed Virgin Mary, within the Palace, at
Exeter.

The meeting of the Bookfellers and Printers at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Tuefday bit,
was very numerous and refpeeable. It was uua-
nintoully rcfolved to petition Parliament for the re-
peal of the laft duty impofed op all Paper, Palle-
board, and Millboard.
We find that the Mostitair of the t tth of No-
vember, which happens to be wanting on our file,
Rates, that the Marquis CORNWALLIS was intro-
duced to the Ft RST CONSU L on the 9th by the Mini-
fier of Foreign Affairs, and had a private audience.
Had he any other meeting with the FIRST CON-
SUL ? Where are all the breakfafts, dinners, and
entertainments with which certain prints have been
entertaining their Readers
Lord CNOL MONDE LEY has at this time in his ler-
vice, a man of the name of Durham, who bas been
in his family upwards of 86 years. He is now 96
years old, and what is rather fingular, has had nn
bodily infirmity for upwards of 6o years pall. He
is in the habit of walking from London to.flanip.
ton Court and back again in one day, three times
a week, without the leaft apparent fatigue. Lord
CHOLMONDELIT has, in confideration of the long
Cervices of this venerable man, fettled an annuity
on him. He has alfb added his portrait to his
numerous and valuable collation.

The clergyman who on Thurfday fe'nnight mar-
ried Colonel WOOD to Lady C. STEWART, conceiv-
ed that, from the (pedal licence which had been
obtained, he was at liberty to perform the nuptial
ceremony without any application for permiffion to
the Reiftor of the parills (St. James's). Doi!tor
PARKER, on being made acquainted with the cir-
cumilance, fent to the Reverend Gentleman, but
not receiving a fatidietory anfwer, ordered a fait
to be inftituted againft him in the Spiritual Court.
Our poor King JAMES the Firft thought he did
a great feat in 11014 the Loin of Beef ! What
would his Majefty think of the Nobility of the
whole Ox, and the illutlrious Pedigree of niodern
Mutton ?

I'he Coort martial, for trying Capt. B. HAL-
LOWELL, of his Majeay's late kip S',-.rxsusr, was
held on board his Majetly's (hip GEWER EAU X, at
Mahon, on the igth of Augua, 18ot, for quit-
ting his convoy, put under his charge by Lord
KEITH ; and alfo for the lots of the fhip, when,
after a minute inveaigation into all the circum.
(lances, the Court palled the following fentence
on Capt. HALLOWELL, and his (hip's company :
" The Court were of opinion, and it appeared to
them, from the narrative of Capt. HALLOWELL,
fupported by the belt potTible evidence to be ob-
tained, that tile convoy, under Capt. HILLow ELL's
charge, was of very little importance in any point
of view ; that his determination to leave e laid
convoy, and join Sir JOHN WARREN, was dietated
by round judgment and zeal for the fervice of his
king and country : and the Court was farther of
opinion, that the 106 hf his M.l.Jelly's late flap
Stviirrstisz was unavoidable, and that the con.
Jud of Captain HaLLowst.t., his Officers, and
comp Any, in defence of the SWIFTSUAE,
was lin:bly niciitotiout, and that Capt. HALLO.
great judgment in the mode he
adopted, to avoid fo fupetior a force, and equal
gallantry in the execution of the plan fo formed;
they did therefore adjudge, that they be honour-
ably acquitted, aid they were honourably ac-
quiiied accordingly."
