BRIGHTON, OCT. 3.

The Ball of the Matter of the Ceremonies, at
the Cattle, on Thurfday, was very falhionably at-
tended. The Panics, drcfred in a plain green
coat, without a liar, entered the ball room about
half part nine o'clock ; prior to which the dancing
had commenced with the fprightly movement of
The Bugle Horn. The Prince did not dance, but
with his accuftomed affability paraded the rooms,
diffufing cheerfulnefs throughout the circle. Nei..
ther minuets, cotillons, or reels were called for
the whole of the evening. Among the molt diftin-
Eaithed prefent were, ht Highnefs of WALES, the
Erl and Countefs of CLERMONT, Lord and Lady
DEERHURST, the Countefs of EREBTILOFF, Ad-
miral PAYNE, Colonel MONTGOMERY, Lord C.
SOMERSET, Colonel SLADE, Mrs. PITZHERBERT,
Mr. DAY, Sir JOHN and Lady LADE, Lady SUSAN
DREW, Lady MURRAY, Mifs Bisuop, &c. The
Prince retired about twelve o'clock ; the hilarity
which prevailed appeared to retire at the fame
time ; the company foon after began generally to
feparate, and the Rooms 'were entirely cleared be-
fore one.

The next morning the Prince attended the prac-
tice of the Artillery attached to his own regiment,
in firing at a target on New Market Hill, which
was performed in fuch a fuperior and foldier-like
tlyle, as produced many exclamations of, praife
from their Royal Commander. A numerous con-
fluence of Nobility attended as fpedators on the
furrounding downs. About four o'cicck the Prince
returned to the Pavilion, and at feven fat down to
dinner.

Yefterday, at about ten in the . morning, his
Royal Highnefi, in his phaeton and four horfes,
drove a confiderable diftance on.the Lewes Road;
from thence he returned before two o'clock: foon
after which he again appeared in public in his cur-
rick, and in pairing up North-ftreet witneffed the
following dreadful accident : a bficklayer's boy in
defcending by a ladder from the fcaffolding of a
building, about the centre of the ftreet, made a
wrong step, fell to the earth, and fraCtured his skull.
The Prince, with anxiety and feeling depicted in
his countenance, inftantly flopped his curricle, and
gave orderl that his Surgeon fhould be immediate-
ly fent for, and no expence fpared for the poor
boy's recovery.
This morning the Prince attended Divine Ser-
vice at the Chapel Royal, when the Bifhop of St.
AAAPH preached a charity fermon for the benefit
of the Sunday Schools. In the pew with his
Royal Highnefs were the Archbifhop of CANTER-
BURY and family, and Admiral PAYNE, Judge
GRAHAt4, and a large affemblage of Nobility were
alto prefent. The Chapel was crouded in all
parts. The excellent and folemn tones that were
drawn from the organ, at proper peti ds, by Mr.
Patrice, difplayed great fcience, and filled the
molt .remote parts of the building with Acted
melody.
The embarkation from this place for France
continues, by more than treble, to exceed the re-
turns.he Edinburgh and Berwick failed for
Dieppe laft night with 14 paffengers ; and the Eli-
zabeth and Margaret, on the Thurfday before;
with 14, and one carriage. Among the paffen-
gers of the latter was the Hon. Mr. CHURCHILL.
Yelterday the annual fair at Lewes produced a
•
great thew of cattle, which were very dull of f4l-.
The prices were fomew hat lower than they hay
been, and a further reduction is fhortly expeCted
to take place. The price of pork at prefent in this
country does not exceed 45. 7d. a (tone.
Sir Envfaati and Lady BANE, Mr. and Mrs.
STEEL, Lady CUMLIFFE, and Mr. and Mrs. RO-
BERTS, are among the laft arrivals.—Lady NE-
BEAM, Mrs. WATTS, and Mrs. CROSDILLI
