BRIGHTON,yuLr 4.

The Races at Lewes on Monday afforded but in-
different diverfion.. Various accidents, but none of
any patticular confequence' occurred on the ground.
One of the horfes, named Small Beer, that awed
for the fweepftakes, died loon after the firft heat.—
None of the races were very clofely contelled.
The inns here, during the whole of the preterit and
laft week, have been completely filled with vifitants.i
The Bowling-Green yefterday was the fcene of fef- I
tivitT ; a very numerous party of Gentlemen, in mar-
quees pitdhed for the nccafion, dined together on the I
lawn. Towards the evening a fakinating gronpe of I
Britillt beauties joining them, the merry dance was
immediately retorted to, which continued to diffufe
hilarity until Come time after the decline of day.—
The
Suffer Military Band attended, and much dif-
tingnifhed thelutelves in their various performances.
The Channel to day has had an agreeable and di.
verified appearance, many (hips of war being diftin-
guithable in the offing. An armed fchnoner is at pre-
terit lying to within a league of the town. This ob-
jet excites more than common notice, in confequence
of its being the very veffel which was funk off this
place, to defraud the Underwriters, in Anguft, 'Boa,
c. the Adventure brig, now converted into a
tchooner for the fervice of Government.

The Dollars taken by that defining officer Lieut.
Bouts's, were expc&ed to arrive in town this day.
The wager for sc) guineas, which was to have
taken place within a fortnight, between SNEPHLRO
and *Lavas scs, was lall night relinquithed, in
confequence of the latter having had the misfor-
tune to be lamed in the foot, by the hook of his boat.

An occurrence of a fingular nature took place in
the city yellerday, which excited fame merriment :
A little before eleven o'clock, a perfon of genteel ap-
pearance and addrefs, prefented a 51. note at the
Bank for change, when he was defired by the clerk
to write his name and place of abode on the back
of the note, agreeably to the eufterm of the Bank,
prior to change being given. The perfan wrote the
words " Abraham l'irevelerl, Boni of England." Being
told by the clerks of the Bank, that the concerns of
that place were not to be trifled with, and that, if he
expeaed change to be given him, he ma conform
to the rules of office, and infert nn the note his real
n one and addrefs, he replied, that be had done as
they respired; Abraham Newland was his real name,
and, being an independent gentleman, without any
particular refidence, be thought be could not comply
with their defire more fully than by (bating his place
of abode to be where he then was.
