BRIGHrO.V, AUGUST 3. .

Ti- at traBinns of the day were, in the morning
a revi,:w of the Prince's Regiment by his Rnyai
Highnefs ; and the finifh, 4,r fecnnd match of
cricket, between the Fall and Well SufTexers.

At the review, which was at the Devil's llyde,
the PRINCE gave the word of command in pet fon,
and, we need hot add that this very fine corps of
men went through the various cvnlotirais with
wee precilion and promptitude. His Royal High-
nek's manceavres were rather too early for the at-
tendance of many of the falhionables of the place;
nor was the Cricket Ground, until noon, paid
more attention to. By that time, however, the
fair Nymphs had dried their locks, newly wet by
the milt embraces of old ; the Man of
Fafhion had &Inhered off the diens of nigh;'s
.1. bauch, and etc, ted bionic:1110 draw on hie D,teth
&weber and high Is.lilhed hoots. The cut ride and
lOciahle filled the circle of the Ground, and al!
the c•tmpany who had nerve enough to hear the
o; a noon tide fult in the month of Auguil
were tiefent.
The match wn‘ made between General LE.soc,
on the part t.f the men to Weti Stiffex, and lq
Colonel Pot rt R, flr tilf/fe of Ea Stukx, fir five
hundred guineas. Th.: tirli match was played prior

A ludicrous occurrence took place on Monday
at St. Alph.tge's church in Canterbury, when all
old man, fo debilita.ed as not to be able to walk,
WA., led to the altir nn nn als, white the prielt per•
formed the ceremony of joining him in wedlock
with a damfel, apparently of his own age.
From time immemorial there has prevailed at
Ni;al, in France, a pleafant cutlom of leading
ahntr, mounted on an thole hufbands who
have fuffcred their wives to beat them. This ce-
remony, which has been revived at Souche fome
nrinths ago, occurred lalt week at St. Eanne.—
The inhabitants of the neighbouring villages, to
the number of 1200, with little kettles, knippers,
triangles, cornets, and other mulical inflruments
of the fame kind, feized hold of the perfon guilty
of this fatal crime, and compelled him to undergo
the ufual promenade. Notwithllanding the tur-
bulent gaiety inleparable from lo great a multi-
tude, the ceremony of the afs palled off without
the leall diforder. The whole body was under the
authotity of a Commandant-General, whole de-
crees were irrevocable. The provifions, wine, and
order of march were all regulated ; the ratio of
wine was only half a bottle, and they broke, with-
out mercy, the bottle of him who violated the
public law. In lhort, every thing has palled at the
expcnce of the hufbsnds, but it is not known in
what way the women who have been thralhed will
avenge themfelves.

ST. MARY-I.lt-STRAND.....A fatal accident had
likely to have happened yefterday afternoon,by the '
falling of another of the urns from the top of the
parapet of the church of St. Mary-le-Strand. Our
Readers will recoiled, that on the proclamation
of the peace, one of there urns fell, by which one
poor man was killed and another derperately
wounded. In confcquence of that event the church,
warskns directed a furvey to be made of the
church, which is one of the fifty built in the reign
of Qteen Anne, and beautiful in its form, though
infinitely too large for the very fmall parilh that
have to fupport it, and fo ill placed as to make
it impollible, by the inceltant rattle of carriages,
for any ferioutly difpofed perfons to hear Divine
Service within it. The Surveyor made a Report
of the necetfity of a repair, and the parith forth-
with made contrads with refpcdable tradefmen
for the repair. It was thought that theft urns,
placed at fo tremendous a height in the very centre
of a ftreet fo crowded as the Strand, and fo liable
to he blown down on the heads of palfengers,
might be fpared without any injury to the real
beauty of the building, and an application was
made for leave to remove them ; but it was thought
a facrilege to remove a jar from the Church, and
accordingly they are all to be preferved or re-
placed. A fcaffolding is now ereding for the re-
pair, and yellerday afternoon between five and
fix o'clock, the workmen in endeavouring to re-
move one of thele immenfe ornaments, found it
crumbling under his hand by the decay of the
centre-plug. He cried out to warn the people be-
low, but they had not time all to efcape unhurt.
In its defcent it broke off a fragment of the para-
pet, by which a (lone grazed the face of a foldier,
and disfigured him in a (hocking manner. He
