BRIGH7VN, AUGUST rg.

The prefentfplendid and prolific feafon has much
influence on the company : the Steine is deferted
while the fun is near the zenith, and the thepherds
and Ihepherdelfes from Garlick•hill and Cateaton-
flreet are denied the rural privileges of fcrambling
up the adjacent hills, covered with chalk, and
tanned with the folar ray. The civic Magiftrates,
and fubfy Dowagers, are lofing much of their ro-
tundity, every hour-
-- “While the earth below Is parch%

And the beaVos above us fry!"
Wherever an awning, or Glade prefents itfelf, the
fetes huddle together, like (beep beneath the haw.
thorn, and commune, and pant, and baa, until tome
fuperior bell-weather calls them from their retreat
to entertain them with a paper-balloon, a gilded
rattle, a fhivercd curricle, or a (hip in dillrefs !
The following pithy and eloquent colloquy,
which occurred this morning on the marine pa-
rade, between a fmock-faced young hero of qua-
lity, and his inamorata, will fully explain the intenfe
operation of the heat :

Gin; r 'Amax —Come, Delia, bcaut'oue Della, come,
Let's vibe Major
LAD r..-1 can't, I can't, my Lordliug dear,
Cb--- J---s, I'm fo hot !

In the evening, the immenfe crowds of fathinna-
bles that were wont to honour the Stein with their
prefence, are dwindled into a few !haggling pro.
menading parties, compofed of " we know not
who."

Mrs. FITZHIRUERT returned from Bognor, to
her houfe on the South Parade, lal night, about
eight o'clock. The arrivals here within thefe few
Jays have not been very numerous. Among the
molt dillinguifhed are, Lady Douow, the Hon.
Capt. KENNEDY, the Hon. Mrs. WsErosv, &c.—
Lord and Lady Ms Lulu RN E fet off yefterday from
the Earl of Lo caw's, at Wick, for the metropolis.
His Lordthip Ilia continues indifpofed.

The only arrivals of importance !ince my
are Lady DOUGLAS, the Hon. Mrs. WALPOLI,
and the Hon. Captain KEIINSDY.

The Marchionefs of Wet.t.sst.gy lives here in a
(late of local feclufion: the neither 'jilts, nor is
vifited, but in a very reftrided fence. She has been
folicited to befpeak a play; but the excufed herfelf
from the meafure, by an afurance that the thould
remain here but a fhort time, and did not mean to
be ottentatioutly among the public.
Qoica took his farewell at the Theatre
night, in Vellum, in the Drummer ; and the Dater,
in Adele/ lifassmilm; the houfe was tolerably well
attended.

At Raggett's Subfcription-boufe on the Steine,
there has been a conftant attendance of the belt
company.—The elbow has been ihaken with its
ufual changes of fortune, and one Gentleman is
(Aid to be minus a very conliderable fum.

Yellerday the atmofphere was rather denk and
oppreffive. In the night we had a form of thun-
der and lightning, accompanied with a night fprin-
kle of rain. The weather, fince, has been more
cool and refrelhing.
The harveit has commenced here, under the
mof apfpicious circumfances, and Ceres (miles
upon Sulk:: the golden grain is falling in all di-
niftions, ripe, fall, and heavy. I am now con-
ve tfing with a foreign Gentleman,juft arrived from
the banks of the Rhine s he antes sue that the
corn and vintage in Germany will be more pro-
