Towards ten o'clock, the weather becoming ra-
ther lint my, the Captain of the Cygnet, (Mc. Leon)
and fevetal of -his officers who were on fhore, felt
the propriety of repairing to his 'hip, off Brighton,
ctintequently, with his FUR Lieutenant, and
Icven others, the fifbermen included, he embarked in
one of ;he filiiing boats, without ballalt, for that put-
pole. Thcrc was a tremendous Ewell in the Channel
at this time, and tile boat, by thole on (bore, was
thought to be in the molt extreme danger. The
Cygnet, from the font!) welt now Rood in, the wind
blowing very hard at !both weft. The fears of thofe
on (Lore, for the faiety of the boat continued to in-
creole, and at 1011, from a fea breaking immediately
over it, the Captain and feven others were wafhed
overboard. and were loon after oblerved fwimming
for their lives. It is with much pleafttre we can
Sate, that drroutth the well direeted eff'•rts of the
clew on board the Cygnet, no fives were 1011. Cap-
tain Mc. Lkol), we hear, has frequently (worn from
this place to the Cygnet, when at anchor, about a
league from the fhote, with his clothes on, ft •

The payment of the Michaelmas dividends comes
very conveniently, as it will enable many pertons to
purchale a chance of the Ten Thoufand Pound Prize
which will he given to the Fiat-drawn Ticket on Sa-
turday, and the many other Capitals now in the
Wheel ; a fmall portion of the half year's interefl fo
applied, may produce the fortunate adventurer more
than double his principal firm of flock.
Tuefday fe'nnight an affray took place at the Gal-
lowgate toll bar, near Glafgow, in which Thos.La w-
vie, a weaver, was killed. The perfons charged with
his death. are John and William Lethams and Robert
Colquhonn, all coal-carters, two of them refidiug in
Camlachie, and nae in Parkhead.
There was a fight on Monday between two jonr-
neymen blacktiniths, in a field on the North fide of the
New.road, Mary-la-bonne. They fought for near
so minutes, and, notwithflanding, it was very boldly
afferted that foul play was (hewn to one of the parties
by the time keeper, that perfon won. He was the
worll beaten of the two; but the other Paid that he
was tick ; forre laid, it mutt be through fatigue that
be was in that (late, as he had received but very few
blows ; others faid that he was panic (truck, that
his heart and not his mufcular powers failed him.—
Bowever, he gave in, and thole that hacked him
gave him a trifle to hear him through his fufferiogs,
as they obferved that every man was not endowed
with a courageous 1014, no more than with a tttomr
body. The fight was only for a guinea, and afforded
very•little arnufement to the real fcientitic men who;
were prefent.
At the above fight, a match was made between a
fellow of the name of Jolinfon, nearly lix feet high,
and an expert boxer, known by the name of Lick
rbe ;apt, only five feet three in nature. This exhi-
bition took place yeller:lay to the arnament of a
great multitude, in Itlington-fields. The combatants
fought nearly' half an hour ; hut Johnfon was not
able once tc t a blow at his opponent, who danced
about him, and by well-direaed hits proved himfelf
the conqneror with cafe.
ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.-.-,A young lady of :6,
lately eloped with a young man of fortune, from a
village near Southampton. The age of the parties
together ekes not amount to 36. The father of the
lady is the gnat dian of the young gentleman, who
had beer, three weeks on a vifit from London, prior
to this circumfianec. On Thurfday laft the patties
took a morning ride, in company with others, and
Ifoon afterwards the lady was miffed. It was loon af-
ctrtained that the gentleman was aifo abfent. They
werearaced to tow., by a fervant who had fapeaed
their intimacy, and on Sunday evening he eke:min-
ed that they had flept in Piccadilly. They took a
ithaife from thence, but nothing further rcfpating
than is yet known.
