BRIGHTON, OC?. TT.

The PRINCE'S hounds turned off this morning
at Knight's Rails. The anticipations of our fportf.
men were juftly realifed ; an excellent chace took
place ; they gallopped over hill and dale, when a
Norman &anger fell a victim to her purfuers ;
poor pufs was taken near the Race Courfe. The
Subfcnptionipack takes the field to.thorrow, and
will continue during the hunting feafon, every
other day.
Our town is unnfually full of company ; many
families are come for the autumnal bathing, which
is ftrongly recommended by the tnoft eminent
phyficians. The Chalybeate fpring at Wick has
been much frequented for its medicinal qualities.
to great has been the demand for houfes, that
no lea than too foundations are laid, to be ready
for the enfuinic feafon; an opulent Jew has contratt•
ed to build thirty ; and it is reported the beautiful
gardens, and enchanting walks of Rock Buildings,
are likewife about to Undergo great alterations
and improvements, and a further addition in. brick
and mortar. .

In confeqnence of the tempeftuons weather with.
in the laf three days, many palFengers remained
to take their departure for Dieppe. Capt. LIN-I) I
of the Berwick, took the whole, which being 33
iu number, failed yefterday morning at high water.
Ocr. 12.—There was to have Been a review
yetterday morning, near the Devil's Dyke, of the
toth Dragoons. l'he regiment was held in readi.
nets to march from the barracks; but the order
was countermanded, in confeqbence of the un-
pleafantnefs of the morning.
The PRINCE'S regiment have received orders to
let their whilkers grow, that being a preparatory
meafure to the general affumption of the Haar
habit.

The Ruffian Prince, BARIATIMMY, leaves
Brighton to morrow, and his departure will excite
much regret, as he has rendered himfelf eminently
efteemed by the grace and condefcenfinn of his
manners. He is fo unlike our modern Magnifeo:
that he employs nearly the .whole of his time in
Rudy, and writes the Englifh language with ac-
curacy. He is going through Scotland into Ire-
land; where he intends remaining for two Months.
Another deed of hardihood has been manifefted
among us: Mr. BUXTON has palpably entered the
lifts, as a charioteer, agairift Sir Jona : he drives
a phaeton, and four fine bays, in a high Rae. It
is amufing to a philofopher to fee tfiefe elevated
Gentlemen interfea each other with an envied ra-
pidity—
" When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war."

The Rage coaches are rammed, crammed, and
jammed, with milliners, tailors, mantua-makers,
plumafiers, hair-dreirers, waiters, &c, who are
hurrying back to London. They have been feared
from Brighthelmaone by the abrupt arrival of Mr.
Winter and fuite.

ArrivaLr—Mr. Chatfield, Mr. Welehman, Mr. and Mrs.
&Tan, the Hun. Mr. Pomeroy. Mr. H. (ag,. Mr. J. Offiey,
Rev. Mr. Horne'', Mr. Mullet, Mr. K. Hillier, and Mr.
Marls.

On Monday laR, as Lady EDWARD BINTINCE.
was returning from Peniturit, on horfe-back,
with a party, her horfe unfortunately Rumbled,
in confequence of which accident, her right thigh
was broken at a fmall distance from the knee.
AEGRance being immediately procured, her Lady-
flip was conveyed to the honfe cf her father, Ra-
case') Cumalawn, Efq. at Tunbridge Wells;
and we are happy to hear, that (he is in as favour.

A few days fame died, the celebrated parrot
belonging to Coll nel O'KILLY. This extraordi-
nary creature fang a number of fongs inperfedt time
and tune, and, if the ever made a lapfe, the would
flop, and go over the paffage till her ear was per-
feely fatisfied. She could exprefs her wants arti-
culately,andgive her orders in amanner approach-
ing nearly to rationality. Her age is not known,
but it is upwards of thirty years (ince the late
Mr. O'ICaLLY bought her at Briltol, at the price
of too guineas. The Colonel was repeatedly offered
Soo guineas per annum by perfons who withed to
make a public exhibition of the bird, but this, out
ortendernefs to the favourite, he conftantly re-
futed. The body was difeeed by Dr. KIIIIIIIDY
and Mr. Beane, when the mufcles of the Laryax,
which form the-voice, were found, from the effee
of pimeice, to be uncommonly grog) but there

MAN, the brewer, to commence their fp.orting fat
fon on the firft Monday in Otober; but the dry-
nefs of the weather,, and confecitient hardnefs of
the foil, prevented their taking the field this year
fo early as ufual. On Mcinday morning lift the
pack threw off oh Putney Common before about
twenty horfetnen. The firft hare they found was

a tolerably fair run.

There were Ordinaries every day at the George

Glover's Hall. On Thurfdav, the Races gave
great entertainment, and on the other days of the
Hunt;the Strathearn Harriers afforded muchfport.

The Bticks of Brighton hare mit been a little
amufed by the adventures of the celebrated Cyprian,
Mrs. P—, in returning to her horfe, near Fitz-
roy-ft:pare, London. After opening tbe Bail at• a
hop, in B trtholomew Fair. the went to Brighton
for a few weeks ;nine feather and golden plamaje.—
There the dallied about in her light blue chariot,
or on horfeback, keeping two fad& horfes and a
footman, befides her carriage ; now the was (ten
in fimple mullinsiher hair lank like a water nymph;
next in a riding habit, mounted ; then in Mks 9f
yellow, blue, and fcarlet,; afterwards in crape,
filver, feathers, and -diamonds ; " Laced hoes,
pink hofe, gartered above the knee." She would
appear on the .Sreyne in half a dozen dretfes per
day, all made of the bell materials, though fome-
times of an eccentric fathion, and molt gaudy co-
lours. She lived in all refpeets in a moll dathing
file ; but there was no appearance of the fource
from whence the drew her wealth : the feemed to
have no particular friend or protector. At latt,
however, the golden dream was out, and the Protean
nymph began to hum the chorus in Macbeth, We
fly by 4-ht. Accordingly, about midnight, on
Wednefday, in high fpirits and jovial, the mounted
the coach-box with coacity, put the child filo keeps
into the chariot, and fet off for town 'full gallop,
the footman following with the fluidic hog fes. Ar-
riving at the turnpike on this fide Cuckfield, the
carriage paffed through, and the footman, with
the horfes, was left to pay turnpike. The footman
Paid he had no money ; and, rather infolently,
that he could not pay.—The turnpike man, who
is a molt refolute dog, made up to the carriage
and Wilted on payment ; but Mrs. P— feem-
ed inclined to give him 4‘ more kicks than half-
pence ;" the poured on him a torrent of abufe,
decorated by thofe flowers of oratory which are
ufed at Bartholomew Fair, (wearing if the had
a pato' the would blow his brains out. The
turnpike man, though Rout-hearted, was not a
little aftonithed to fee ‘fo fair a lady in fo fine an
equipage, fo well up to his own flartg ; and fear-
ing the odds were too mach againft him to enter
into a oohteft with the baggage and efcort, he re-
treated home ; but immediately raddled a fleet
courfer, and purfued, that he might flop the
party at Crawley gate. The race between the par.
ties on the road was molt d IPerate, Hatnbletonian
and Diamond all the way ; but the turnpike-man
beat the chariot, and procured the Crawley
gate to be (hut againft its further progrefs. The

meat, which impofes a penalty of sl. on any one
refuting to pay turnpike, feized one of the chariot
horfes, and with affillanee obtained poffeflion. To
1 ride into town with one chariot horfe, this Mrs.
P--could not do. The noife awakened the peo-
ple of the inn at Crawley, and the whole village
ri.acrichaendt, wahlo.oirlde,
a General, a Baronet, &c. She feemed to have
.feven hutbands, and the landlord thought the was
a Turk; as he had heard of a plurality of wives,
he thought there might be a plurality of huf.
bands. At halt, the Landlord of the inn, at
Crawley, advifed her to pay the 51. This the
agreed to do, but had no money, and was obliged
to leave her (addle horfes in pawn for the fum.—
Since her arrival in London, the has confulted her
Attotney, who has advifed an adtion against the
turnpike-man. Mrs. P— was yefterday driving
through the ftreets in her chariot, but without her
footman, who is gone to negotiate the releafe of
the horfes. Her fate will, we troll, he a falutary
lam to all Cypriansvifiting Brighton, to fa, e as
much money as will pay turnpikes returning home,
