GOODWOOD RACES.

There races, which ended on Thurfday ha, afford-
ed good fport, and were very falhionably and nu-
meroufly attended. The Duke's Rand, as ufual, was
well (bred with every kind of refrefkments neceffary
on fuch occafions ; and at Goodwood an elegant
dinner was provided each day, for a fele& party of
his Grace's friends, among( whom were, the Earl
of Craven, Lord Arthur Somerfet, Gzneral and
Lady Charlotte Lennox, Major and Mrs. Bloom-
field, Captain Blagrave, Mr. Mrs. and Mifs Tred-
croft, Mr. J. Smith, brother to Mrs. Fitzherbert, Mr.
Grzme, &c. &c.

On the lafl evening the whole party went from
Goodwood, to the ball at Chicheller, which was tru-
ly fplendid, and kept the company till a late hour.
The 6rft day proving wet, the Duke of Richmond,
who was not wholly recovered from a fit of the gout,
did not vifit the ground ; but the fecond day being
fair, his Grace attended in his carriage, and appear-
ed in good fpirits. Mr. and Mrs. Orby Hunter, and
the Hoo. Berkley Craven, with a large party of fa-
thionables, in a very handfome harouche, and four
capital blood horfes, commanded a dillinguifhed at-
tentionlon the courfe, on Wednefday.
At the conclufion of the above races, a difpute
arofe between fome of the military and peafantry,
that might have produced very unpleafant confe-
quences, but for the judicious interference of Gen.
Lennox.

On Saturday night, a general imprefs for feamen
cock place in Edinburgh and Leith, when a great
number of ufeful hands were picked up.
By letters from Barbadoe%' of 22d March, received
on Wedneiday lafi, we ar,_ lorry to learn, that the

Mr. Roosa STEWART, of G•teDOCk, has been cap-
tured on her voyage from Virginia for Barbadoes,
by a French privateer, of 16 guns, and 140 men,
after an engagement of cne hour, and carried into
Guadatoupe.
Monday fe'nnight, about one o'clock, there was a
tremendous difcharge of thunder, and many fla(hes of
lightning, followed by a dreadful (bower of hail, at
Aberdeen. Two cows were killed by the lightning
at the Stocket, in the neighbourhood of that place.
On Tuefday night an alarming fire broke out in
Sun•Rreet, Bilhopfg,ate, which confitmed twelvehoufes,
and for lonic time threatened dellration to the neigh-
bourhood; however, by the adivity of the firemen.
and the alacrity with which the engines arrived, it
was extinguithcd.
