Row' w o Harm—The two Gentlemen who Tome
time fince laid a wager on the abilities of the London
and Gravesend Weermen, differed in opinion as to
the ftrength and fldll of the lofers. Of the others,
there was no queftion. Mr. D. backed Jack Shep-
pard and Jim Howell, and Major W. laid on the
fide of Iliac Wood and Ned Broome% The ori-
ginal wager between there two Gentlemen was too
guineas a fide ; they alto purchafed a new wherry,
value lo guineas, to be prefented to the winning
oars. Yelterday being the day appointed for the de-
cilion of the conceit, the parties flatted at 13 mi-
nutes before five in the afternoon, from a little above
Greenland• Dock, to a place near Woolwich, called
Charlton Sand, a dillance of shout fix miles. They
rowed down with the tidc, it being, at the time of
flatting, about half an hour's ebb, fo low down the
river. They then rowed round a boat, moored there
for the purpofe, and bad a fevere pull up againft
tide. The bye bets, which were very numerous,
were in general even, and the event juftified the idea
of even wagers. At the Petting off, Wood and
Bromwell got the flan ; at Dog and Duck Stairs
they were near too yards ahead ; this they main-
tained, with little variation, almoll all the way
down. On coming up they began to lore. The
match was very clofely contefled, but at coming in,
Howell and Sheppard were about so yards a-bead.
It was about 20 minutes part fix when they returned
to the point lions whence they flatted, halting run
about s a miles in an hour and a half.

Monday night the Theatre-Royal, Covent-Garden,
doled its performance for the year with the Cakiats,

continue their belt endeavours to merit a continuance
of the public patronage as their belt reward.
At the above Theatre the Opera of the Drama was
laft night admirably performed for the benefit of the
Bayfwater Hofpital. Baan•m, STOILACI, Dsoavw,
and ICI LLT lent their aid, and Quite exhibited the
44 cunning little liear" with all his vital adroitnefs.—.
In the Afterpiece, the veteran Mooar appeared as
golfew. He played with undiminilbed powers, and
was molt warmly greeted. Mrs. Dimon played Nell
with much fpirit and vivacity. The audience was
elegant and numerous.
Enurrow and histriiews are engaged at Drury-
lane nest feafon, with liberty to play at Contmaa's

The Merchants,exporters of Tea to Ireland, wait-
ed on Mr. Forrza yeflerday to receive his anfsver to
the application of the Committee of Merchants in the
Irilh trade, as to the laying on the additional Duty
on Tea in Ireland, according to the ufage of Parlia-
ment, viz. " on Teas to be imported into Ireland
after the paging of the Ad."
Mr. FOSTEII told them, that in corfequence of the
(mall quantity of Teas on hand in Ireland, he would
relinquifh his intention of laying the duty on Ail
is band; hut he was doubtful as to the time when
the duty fhould attach, and he hoped the trade would
feel fatisfied in having flock in hand exempted. Mr.
Foam added, that he meant to lay the additional
Duty on Rock in hand in Ireland on 20 tun of Wines;
but he would grant time for the duties, and receive
them in fix inflalments of three months interval each.

unpin bP ?NE LATE smlbr.

On Sunday evening, at eight o'clock, a dreidfsil
clap of thunder, equal to the &charge of a osonai,
followed by the molt awful lightning, took place at
Woolwich. In an inllant the rigging of the Prams
thear hulk, lying a breaft of the Dock-yard, was
difcovercd on fire. The alarm bells were rung. Mut
every allittance afforded by the crews of the othfl
fbips in the harbour. The fire having taken place le
the centre of the derrick fOreat, water was pared in
quick fuccefflon, in buckets, sip the &fonds to the
round top, and the flames form estinguithed. The
lightning firuck the top of the fbear., pared down
the derrick (a large boom, tt7 feet in Imgth). as
low as the lower derrick fall, then took a dkioss
down the lap, fluted a plank on deck, and tinged tho
bedding in the hammocks between decks. but provi-
dentially no perfon was bon on board. The derrick
is thivered to fplinten. Two fentinels on the Dock
Wharf were Bruck blind by the lightning.

A Letter from Brighton, dated Monday lad,
lays—" The weather during the greater part of yel
terday, though clear, was extremely fultry, not a
breath of wind ruffling the furface of the ocean, Is
the evening, the Military Parade to the North Was
onufually crouded with fafitionable pedeftrians ; all
of whom, toward* eight o'clock, as the military
were difmired, removed to the Steyne Promenade.
to the Forth. This walk had become the general
refort but a fhort time, when fymptoms were difrn-
verable of an approaching form, and fosse brilk
Halite. of lightning (non after, accompanied by a
Grower of hail and rain, compelled the greater part
of the company to leave the Green, and leek refuge
in their refpeftive mentions. The ottn, mail nearly
eleven o'clock, continued momentarily to 'percale is
violence ; the rain at length began to defiend in tor-
rents; the heavy bards of thunder fltook every hoofs
in the place to its bale, while the call concave of
heaven was ken in one vivid and inceffant blaze.—A
form fo dreadful as this appeared, is not in the me-
mory of the oldeft inhabitant of the place, and the
conflernation and alarm which it occafioned was
univerfaL About half pall ten o'clock, a ball of
fire from the S. E. frock and dekenderf the chim-
ney of the houfe to the Weftern extremity of the
Crefcent, occupied by Mr. Hassaataon, which, en.
tering the kitchen; druck down the footman, bat
providentially withriat doing him any material inju-
ry ; and afterwards, in an oblique direftion, pared
through the windows, and exploded, filling the pre-
miles, and all parts adjoining, with a heavy, timid,
and fulphareous (woke. The alarm into which the
family, were thrown by this incident is more eafily
conceived than exprered. Two ftrong walls. at
call fourteen inches in diameter, about the neigh-
uonrhood of the Crekent, were perforated by the
lightning, levering them nearly down-the centre, and
kattering the fragments of Ropes and mortar to a
dillance of upwards of twenty feet, both so the right
and left. The apertures in the walls, as they ap-
peared this morning, were fulficiently wide to admit
the largeft horfe with cafe to pals through them. A
field of potatoes, in the lame quarter, were in various
parts, for many yards, completely bared to the fur-
face of the earth ; the window-limiters of a houfe as
the New Steyne were fplintered, cracking at the
fame infant, one pane of glafs ; and various people.
who were unfortunately expofed to the temped, be-
tween this place and Lewes' were 'truck to the easth
by the blazing fluid; none of whom, that we have
yet heard of, we are happy to Rate, received any
material hurt. The violence of the dorm, which is
impoffible for me accurately to dekribe, or the ge-
neral terror which it excited, begun gradually to
abate about eleven o'clock, and had nearly pared
over by midnight. The filltermen who were in their
boats filhing in the Offing during the tempeft, re-
lAtzsethis morning, that a tremendous blaze, appa-
rently proceeding from fome houfes on fire, was clic-
tinely leen by theta up the country towards ifor•
(ham ; no farther accounts of which, however, have
as yet reached this town."

Captain Attaurnanv, Aid-de•Camp to 'General
WILFORD, had a molt miraculous efeape, in his
tour with the General to the Land's End. Riding
near the cliff, his horfe flipped, and unable to recover
himfelf, plunged over the precipice. By an extraor-
dinary exertion the Captain threw himfelf off at the
moment when the horfe was falling, and clinging to
the very verge of the cliff, providentially laved him.
felt. The horfe, of courfe, was loft ;he was dafhed
almoll to pieces.

Bsesoritors -rue Acvnit.—By the following ex-
tra& of a letter from Liverpool, dated June 24. it
appears this Gentleman has encountered a fad acci-
dent :—" The tragedy of The Revenge was performed
here Lift night.—The charatier of etlonto was fuf.
tained by Mr. B AAAAA ORS, of Zang.; by Mr. Coovea.
In the laft feene of the play. where 'Fenno (labs him.
Pelf with the dagger which he had previnuily wrelled
from Zavga, poor BARRTWORS raided the fettle. It
WAS a reel African dagger, a favourite of Mr.
Coosa, and the fame which he always lees in acing
&ago. Mr. &marmots. not aware of chi!, liruelz
hirnfelf violently with this dreadful weapon, and in.
(lantly fell upon the Rage. As he lay upon the Rage,
he called softly for help, laying, " I am wounded.
It is a real dagger." For a few fetonds. the per.
formers flood znotionlefs from terror. At length
Time one cried nut. Drop the curtain." and as
alarm was excited. Some of the company ran from
the houfe, others new to the Rage to gratify their es-
riofity. Among thofe were two medical Guideway
who gave their amilance. Upon examination, they
found that the dagger took a Ranting dire lion across
the lower ribt. which it palled over, and lodged is
his belly, in which it inthded a wound of about an
inch. lie loft a great deal of blood. The wound
was dreffed npon the Rage, after which, he was car-
ried home faint with lots of blood."

Amonga the novelties at the Duke r.f BEDFORD'S

the approbation of the company lo much as Mr.
CARTWRIGHT'S fieSETI engine, lately ereCied in his
