ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRINCE OF WALEFS
BIRTH-HAY.
This day the Anniversary of the nutters Birth
was celebrated inn most brilliant manner. Between
twehre and one o'clock the crowds of carriages
of all kinds, but chiefly baronehesi and coaches
with four hotses, exceeded all we ever witnessed
on any formernccipion. The day was 'fine, though
windy, and ajapearance of the idunense
coarse of beauty and fashion, ltigeiher with a
!pie of troops extending nearly three miles, on
'ground, which, though sloping and varied, dia.
played the whole eateat from the heights •at one
view, was uncommonly magnificent. The PRINCE
and all his Royal Brothers, except the Dake of
Sussex, ascended the Downs about four miles from
Brighton before one o'clock. He mounted ins',
' white charger in the uniform of the 10th—the ,
Dukes. of YORK, )(ENT, and CAMBRIDGE were
also in 'uniform; the Dukes of CLARENCB and
CUMBERLAND in plain coats. The PRINCE was
accompanied by more than 2000 Noblemen, Ge-
neral Officers, Ladies, and Gentlemen on horse.
back, as all the Ladies and Gentlemen on horse-
back joined in the royal cavalcade. The carriages
ranged in a line opposite to the troops, and the
Ladies mounted on the roofs, driving-boxes, and
dickies. The horses were generally taken out, and,
as we have stated, every carriage almost had • four
horses; for a Lady of the slightest pretensions•to
decorum, would not be so inhuman as to go to such a
distance as four miles with a pair. The Prince passed
the whole length of the line, and then returned to the-
centre, where he,' his Royal Brothers, and Staff dis.
mounted • and the troops fired a feu de joie—the
fire run along the whole line three times, and from
its long continuance had an admirable effect. Their
Royal Highnesses then remounted, and took a sta-
tion on a beautiful level, nearer Brighton, and the
several regiments marched past hint in .companies.
They amounted to 9,700 men, and of course it occu.
pied a considerable time. It was four o'clock before
the review ended. The company then returoeti to
Brighton, and the Steyne was ere% tied till near .six
o'clock, when the Noblemen and Gentlemen invited
to dine with his Royal Highness at the Pavilion re-
tired. The fete concluded with a ball and sup.
per at the Castle, which was eplendid,
Above 800 Lathes and Gentlemen were present.
The Par NOE and Brothers, with a considerable part
of his dinner party, entered the eosins about eleven',
o'clock, when his own band welcomed his approach.
His Royal Highness conversed with the Ladies for
about an hour, and then retired. The Duke of
CLARENCR took the chair in the principal room at
supper. Tables were laid in six or seven rooms,
and even with all this accommodation the company
could only sit down by instalment. The supper
consisted of warm soups and every delicacy of the
season, such as pine.apples, grapes, Sic. Dancing
was resumed, and we left the roisinrin high convi.
viality at a late hour yesterthy morning.

M4R(;4TE, AUG. 1%

The wetness and boisterousness of the season here
is such, that, as Buxona says in the comedy of
The West Indian, if the calendar did not call it
August, we might presume that it was November.
Mr. WIEPPERT, the celebrated harper, has este.
blished at the Margate Assembly Rooms a new spe-
'cies of Marine Lounge, which he calls a Musical
Promenade. This entertainment is repeated weekly,
every Wednesday evening, and is well attended. His
charming laughter, Miss Winne/LT, presides at the
grand.piano-forteted they perform some solos and
duets in a good style, particularly a medley duetto,
which was composed by Mr. ‘VearezaT for her
Royal Jighness the Princess o(IVALe., in which
are introdnced the favourite meliirlies of ' Blossom,
dearest Violet,' s Jennie's Ilazbbie,' and s Mi-
chael Wiggins.'
On Wednesday last Mr. GIBBON sang g Black-
Eyed Susan,' and 6 Percy's Shipwreck.' Between
the parts of this entertainment, the company per.
ambulate the Great Rooms, and they are generally
composed of those middle classes of society, whrre
the general virtue of nations resides most securely,
as they are too imitative of higher examples to be
very coarse, and too responsible in station to be im.
moral with impunity. •
The (lemon of opposition is not confined to the
crooked paths of policy, but hath extended his
malign influence among the 66 fashionable" assem.
blies of Margate ! The envied direction of the em-
pire of Bun Ton, which wee formerly assumed
exclusively by Mr. La BAs with such matchless
address, is now disputed! There are now two prin.
cipalsl two Masters of the Ceremonies ! A Mr.
Bean Awe hath erected his garish standard upon an
artificial mount in Dandelion Gardens, and openly
and boldly beats up for volunteers in the very teeth
of his renowned rival, These Gentlemen arc de.
signaled as the major and minor Rings of Taste,
but they are not upon the same good terms as their
Royal Predecessors of Brentford, u they will not
smell at the same nosegay !

This case occupied the attention of the Court the
whole of ,the day. It was an application on the
part of Mr. Duckworth to appoint a receiver to an
estate in Lancashire, which the parties had con-
tracted for, and for which' consideration, money to
the antrum of 6000 J. had been paid. The original
purchase was for all the lands, &c. within a certain
compass pointed out on a map which was ex-
hibited to the purchaser pretiuus to the sale.--
There being, however, some misunderstanding be.
tween the parties as to the extent of the land, one
of the parties refused to fulfil the contract, and
turned the tenants out of possession. The applica.
tion was made, therefore, fur a receiver, in order to
prevent dilapidation.
The Court, after hearing Mr. Leacn, Mr.
HALL, and Mr. Ricu.taos, fur the parties con.
cerned, directed a receiver to be appointed.
