all other veffels founder. had very nearly been fwamp.

(Crattioued trem out Paper of Saturday.)
Oct. 6.—The LORD LIEUTENANT
did not arrive at Garbally, the feat of Earl exam-
CARTY, near this town, till near eleven o'clock lift
night, from a dilappointment in poll bodes on the
road. It was dark when he palled through Athlone,
and confequently he could not infpef the new mili-
tary works now completed there, lorsoing an impor.
tent fortrefs. The garrifon, Connfling of the a rit
foot, and the Wicklow Militia, with the corps of
Artillery, were under arms to receive him. This
morning his Grace and fuite, accompanied by Lord
Csawcaarr, rode through the Cheep fair in his Lord.
Osirr's carriage, which, although Sunday, was let ac-
cording to ancient, but indecorus triage. The Duke
was Much Rruck with the pinureque affemblage of
fuels numerous bodies of (beep (arneunting to nearly
too,o6o) kept In (kilfully detached, without the ufo
of pens, or dogs, by the attire vigilance of the Irith
(hepherds. The revise was much heightened by the
finenefs of the weather. His Grace clofely infpelled
the fever.d Rocks, pointing out thole which had de-
rived moll improvement by the crofs of the New Lei-
cefler breed. Afterwards he rode into the town, and
viewed the New Rooms, and fpacious area for the
exhibition of Show Cattle belonging to the Farming
Society, whole invitation to dine with them on Mon-
day and Tuefday, he gracioufly accepted. A eon-
fiderable portion of the (beep were fold, even on this
day (the Sabbath), which, it teems, is a day of reit
neither from labour or profit, at Ballinatloe fair.—
The prices were higher than thole of lag year full 3s.
per head on the average. The two (beer wethers of
the County Rock fetched from pl. to 401. a (core
the prime Rocks, with the Leicetler, reached as high
as 521. los. The Farming Society dined numeroufly
together, as unroll, with their highly refpetted Pre-
fident, Mr. Friars., in the Chair. Soon after the
cloth was drawn, ht called the attention of the So-
ciety to a letter with which he had been honoured
by his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, the contents of
which he fhould have the pleafure of communicating
to the Society. He then read the letter, in which
his Grace recommends to the Society a continuance
of that regard to the breeding Rock of Ireland, fo
elTential to the welfare of the Imperial Kingdom, as
the food of man. It is an elegant and interelling com-
plaints, with a perufal of which the public would
be highly gratified, and which will probably be laid
before them, under the direttion of the Society. The
letter doled with Rating, that his Grace bad ordered
to be Chipped for Ireland, viz.

A Dull of the Hertford kind
A Ditto of the North Devon
Six Tops of the South Down
Six Ditto of the New Leizeiter.
Theft his Grace requelled the Society would accept,
and apply in fuch manner as appeared to them molt
advifeable, for the improvement of the Rock of Ire-
land. The thanks of the Society were voted to his
Grace for this liberal mark of attention to the object
of the Society, and his health was drank, accompa-
nied with the louden applaufe. To-morrow the Duke
will view the Prize Stock io the Area (which were
this day perfealy clafl'ed) previous to the infpeBion
of the Judges.
Dimas, Ocr. 7..—Yenerday, according to notice,
the (hew of neat cattle, fheep, honks and fwine, was
held at Ballinafloe. The (hew was attended by a
numerous concourfe of people from every part of the
kingdom, and was honoured by the prefence of his
Grace the Duke of Bent-oars, and many other pet tons
of dillinflion. This day the premiums will be ad-
judged, and all the flock will be placed in the order
of merit, and mull remain to be iofpeBed till five
o'clock to morrow evening.

The running match between Meas. BASTIN and
Basis/Knorr, took place on Saturday morning, on
Hampton Common. The competitors were to run
three ineatuted miles on turf, and the above (pot was
fixed on by one of the umpires, who canted flag-polls
to be fixed as a boundary. S was the favou-
rite, and he led his opponent for the firll mile, at
which dillance he was twenty-five yards a head: he
flackened his pace, and Bccossour came up with
him ; they kept together at an eafy pace, until within
half a mile of the winning poll, when BEAUMONT
made play, and, to alt appearance, had the bell of
the match ; but, when within three hundred yards
of the decifive fpnt, 8 patted his adverfary
with cafe, and arrived twenty yards a head. The
match was for too guineas.
EXTRAORDIN•RY EFFOIT •On Saturday a Co:-
riot:, Exhibition took place on the River :—A young
man, a carpenter, who undertook for aSmall wager
to row in a Ira/bias Tut from Milbank to London
Bridge, feated himielf in the Tub, and had a (cull
in each hand, with which he balanced himfelf, and
rowed down the River, in the pretence of feveral
thoufand (inflators. As he patted through the dif-
ferent Bridge;, the Tub was twirled round by the
current, whilll he Tung tome fa voutite tong. The
fpeCtators often flatted with the dread of feting him
drowned, while he fat unconcerned ; and, although
the tide was very rapid, and on its ebb, he effected
j his purpofe in fafety, and won his wager.
The wife of a mechanic, in Abel's buildings, Rote-

the time of the poor accouchrufe, and (he WAS a.lually

ROYAL, DRURY-LANll.—Saturd-ay night
the Comedy of The Wonder was performed at this
Theatre, for the purpnfe of introducing what was
called a new performer, of the name of Cali srs, in the
charader of Colonel Briton. This gentleman, howe
ver, we believe, tried his fortune tome time lince he.
fore a London audience in the charaBer of °Argo.—
His ayle of aftin; is feeble, and be has little either
of vivacity or (pith to give force or elle& to the
meaning of his anther. The charader of Gal, was
reprefenied by Mr. Comity t and although we arc
&plied to allow that Onr confide, able met 01 fume
parts, we think he ought never to attempt this part
again.

Houle, near Somerfet Place, in confequence of the
chimney which communicates with the coffee-rnona.

a public-hnufe a few mkt from Uxbridge, on the
road to Hewett's Bottom, On the body of a perfon
unknown, who was fuppnfed to have been Eliot in s
duel on the day preceding. The only evidence by
which it could bt afcertained how the deceafed came
by his death, was given by two farmer's men, who,
whilll in purfuit of hufbandry in the fields of Mr.
Watkins, their empliyer, heard the report of pinch
not far from them ; and on approaching the fpot,
they perceived about fix perfons, two of whom, ac.
cording to defeription, were engaged in a duel. One
of them fell in the ptefence of the witneffes, and he
was conveyed to a neighbouring houfe, where he
was put to bed ; ►ut a wound in the fide deprived
him of life in about two hours. The whole of the
party who were with the deeeafed abfconded ; but
by papers found about the deceafed, his name was
fuppofed to be Woodcot. He was a genteel dreffed
man, about twenty-five years of age.—Verdiet M.

containy the fpeech of the Chairman of the (tinter
Seffions at Portfmouth, in allufion to the differences
mining between the United States and Great Britain.
" Let us deprecate," raid he, " all contention with
that magnanimous nation from whom we are fprung,
and whole language, oufloms, religion, and, I true,
whore virtues we inherit ; although a fatality in poli-
tics has effefted a reparation in our Government, let
us be united with her in the glorious enterprize of
maintaining the liberties, and promoting-the happi-
nefs of the world, againfl that fatal and flopendous
influence which wars againft them." The Affembly
heard him with rapture, and frequently interrupted
his addrefs by their applaufe.
There papers Wert, in the mon circumflantial and

excellent faimmer, made the quarter railing, the

daughter finking, he plunged in again after her, and
fucceeded in bringing her to the wreck. He was,
however, wafted off a fecond time, and his firength
