io.,

This morning the Margate Sta Fentihles and pro-
reeled Fifhermen and Sailort of this place held a
grand livery of the Pier Head, refpeaing the offer of
Government to proteeted feamen, for bringing home
the Datilh fleet from the Baltic. After a general
mutter, they were fo hearty in the caufe, that up-
wards of too joined hand in hand, and gave three
cheers. About twelve o'clock, upwards of 6o entered
their names, and to-morrow, it is expeaed, 120
names will appear in the lift held by Lieutenant
RAMSEY, at Wefibrook Cottage. They are all fine
flout young men. The whole of the 200 will vqlun-
teer, but it is thought advifable to leave a fulEcit nt
number of good hands behind, in cafe of any accident
that may happen at fea in the approaching feafon.
On Saturday last, two lithermen, obferving tome.
thing lying above the furface of the water, between
Earn Bay and Whitstable, immediately put off in a
fmall tr.at, to afcertain what it was. On approach-
ing, they found it to be a furprifing large fifh, when
they returned on fh-re and took out with them two
muskets, with which they fired at it (even different
times. without producing any effea, fo as to afcertain
1 whether it was alive or not ; they then proceeded,
and aelually run the beat on the back of the 6th and
wounded it with an axe upwards of a foot deep.-
1 The fifh immediately proceeded out to lea, and the
next morning was welled on fhore, nearly on the
fame fpnt, dead of the wounds it received the pre-
ceding day. Mr. Mier, a farmer in the neigh-
bourhood, went down with his men, and by the
afliaance of nine hckfes, drew part of the fifh above
high water mark. It proved to be a grampus, 31
feet in length, and weighed between to and t a tons.
The fat, or blubber) when boiled, produced sot)
gallons of oil.

Lieutenant CATHCART, who was the bearer of the
difpatches of his father, annouicing the furrender of
Copenhagen, has been promoted to the command of
a troop in the 25th Dragoons.
DRURY•LAN E THEATRI.—CUMDERLAND'S excel
lent Comedy of The Will Inekan was lath Saturday
the attraftion of the evening. Et.t.tsvnia's Belcour is
huffing and agreeable. DowroN's Varland, like all
his performances, was judicious and meritorious.—
Jonasros s's Major O'Flaheriy cannot be ton highly
praifed. He was a great and deferved favourite
throughout. Mr. Eras, who appeared for the firti
time in the character of Stochavell, met with confider-
able approbation. Mrs. SPARKES appeared to great
advantage in Lady Rafport, and Mifs DUNCAN, in
Charlotte, was, as afual, excellent. Mils BOYCS'S
Lotifa Dudley was nnexceptionable. No Song Ao Supper
doled the entertainments of the evening.

COVENT GARDEN TNIATRE.—LaIt night the Play
of Cymbeline introduced, for the firft time on this
gage, a young Lady of the name of NORTON, lag
from the Mancheiter and Liverpool Theatres. On
her entrance the was greeted with the ufual encou-
ragement of reiterated plaudits, which teemed to
affed her fenfibly. Imngen is a part which is fo re-
plete with intereft, that it is particularly adapted to
difplay the abilities of a promifing aarefs. Mifs
NORTON'S conception of the charader was chafe, and
her performance judicious and feeling; the rffelfes
the requifites of graceful aition, and a perfeft'know.
ledge of the bufinefs of the Gage—ber voice is clear
and diftind, and, thingh its powers are not equal
to thofe of Mils Saturn, yet in many of her tones
we traced Come refemblance to the latter.
She received the meed of continued approbation
through the whole of the piece. The figure of
Mils NORTON is of the middle Ramie, and the ap-
pears very young : ale will prove an acquilition td
the Theatre in fentimental characters, and, we have
no doubt, that, as the advances, the will excel in the
firft line of tragedy.—Mr. KareaLe was dignified in
Pyihumac.
The mufical piece The Farmer excited much mirth in
the audience Mifs Mcanows played Molly .111a.ibufh,
and promifes to become a lively aftrefs. Mrs. Lis •
vow, for the lint time, fultained the part of Betty
Blackberry. The houie was crowded, brilliant, and
falhionable:

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.— Sarah Smith, the
Cuckfield nymph, of foporific memory, has left her
fervice, and is on her to London, to confult the
Soothfayers of Warwick-lane, refpeeling the propen•
Pity to which the is fubjeeted.
Ptas AND PYEMEN.—The Pyemen are deflined
to make a figute in this age. In the late dreadful
crowd, at an executiPn at the Old Bailey, old THO
MAs, the Pytman, foil firfl, and occalioned the prefrare
that canted fa many other deathi. Gen. LINIIIS,
who defended Buenos. Ayres, is the fon of a Pyeman
at Madrid. A PY 2M AN was the Commander and
Governor of Copenhagen, during its late fiege ; and
the Pytman, of Cornhill, is famed as a Poet,a War-
rior, and a Dramatic Writer. We have 9 Ns, a
Poet Laureat and a worthy Magiflrate ; and lately
had a gallant Admiral of the famo name, as trailly a
fellow as ever broke bread. Pyehald horfes are alto
coming into falhin ; *rid the Court of Pve Poudre
was never more remarkable for the ct,iftiom of its
judicial decifions, than in its late fitting during Bar-
tholoulew Fair. As to fruit pyes, they never were
better or more numerous than at the prefent feafoa.

Frid..y was run on Parkhut ft Race Ground, in the
file of Wight, a match between Mr. Booty's bay
mare Dublin Sal, alias G•Adfinder, and Mr. Sander's
chefnut horfe Never Win, for one hundred guint,..,s,
which was won by the former, and by whic'i the
knowing ones were eafed of a few hundreds.
An alarming fire broke out ye(lerday at 12 o'clock
at noon, at No. la, Noel-ftreet. The flames were
tirft difcovercd raring out at the windows of the
second floor back room, by Come per lons who retried
at the back of the prernifcs, and a general alarm
was loon fpread. The engines fpeedily arrived, but
they could not play for fome time for want of water.
On water being procured, the flames were Coon Cub-
elued, but not until the interior of the honk had been
demoliflted. The workthops of Mr. Lee, coach-
maker, in Poland.fireet, joined the houfe which was
on fire, but providentially the flames did not reach
them, the attention of the firemen having been di.
reCted to chat point, after it was found impoffible to
Cave the houfe in which the flames kindled. The
root!' where the fire broke out Was occupied by a
man and his wife of the name of Fortwaen, who
were abfent, and it was not known how the (40.06*
