Sept. 14. Lately, near Halifax, Yorkshire, a person in a market-cart, with two (pirited horfes in it, ran full fpeed against Thomas Lambert, efq. of Elland-hall, who was on horseback; the cart was overturned, and the unfortunate gentleman thrown under the horfe's feet. His face was disfigured in a most fhocking manner, and fix of his ribs were broken. He languifhed till this night, when he expired. He was 69 years of age. Ramfgate, Sept. 19. At noon this day, as a pleasure-boat from Deal was entering the harbour, apparently under an eafy fail, at high water, with rather a fwell in the of fing, the was by a fudden heel upset in a moment, and the company on-board (10 in number) were precipitated into the watery abyfs. Two vifitors at this place, Mr. Innes and Mr. H. Mair, were the only perfons at the time on the extremity of the North Pier, who witneffed this moft diftreffing fcene. They inftantly hailed fome Ramfgate boatmen in the harbour, who did not delay a moment to push off to the relief of their unfortunate fellow-creatures; five of whom had got on the bottom of the hoat, but only one could keep this perilous fituation. Mr. Innes and his friend threw a rope from the Pier-head, which was eagerly laid hold of by three of the boat's crew, and, with the affiftance of two other gentlemen, who moft providentially ran up to them from the further end of the Pier, they got the rope fo fixed as in a few minutes to bring three poor fellows once more upon dry ground. The fourth, by extraordinary efforts, got round to the bathing ground, and was faved. The boats by this time had removed the gentleman who was clinging to the wreck; and a lady (Mrs. Dore), who was floating with her face downward, apparently a lifelefs corpfe, was next picked up, and, by timely medical affiftance, was foon rettored to life. Mr. Dore had floated out fo far, that every attempt to recover him proved fruitlefs. Mrs. D. whofe life was preferved from the circumftance of her riding-habit keeping her afloat, has, in confequence of the diftrefs occafioned by the lofs of her husband, brought forth an untimely birth, which, it is thought, will end in her death. The following are the unfortunate fufferers on this melancholy occafion: Mr. Deny, a Deal pilot, who was chofen by Mr. Pitt to be his pilot at the late fham fight; Mifs Sharpe, the Mayor of Deal's daughter; and Mr. Egleton, the only fon of a banker at Deal. Some failors of this port were out all night drag ging for the bodies, but to no effect. A fubfcription for fupplying the four failors who were fpared in the above accident, was im . which totally deftroyed the interior of the building, with great part of the furniture: the family had a very narrow efcape from this dreadful calamity. Winchester, O. 5. The grand Mufical Festival annually celebrated in this city began on this day, with a concert at St. John's Houfe, which was pumerou ly and brilliantly attended. Mrs. Billington exerted, with the utmoft fuccefs, thofe unrivalled vocal powers for which the' is fo eminent; and Mifs Tennant was much admired and applauded. On Thurfday morn ing, at 11 o'clock, the doors of the cathedral were thrown open, and, as was expected, the performance of "The Meffiah,” in which Mrs. Billington took a prij cipal part, attracted all the beauty and fashion of Hampshire and the neighbouring counties. At the mifcellaneous concert, in the evening, Mrs. Billington fang "Sweet Bird," in fo fuperior and exquifite a ftyle, as to delight and enrapture all the audience. On Friday morning, the first act of " Judas Maccabæus," with a selection from the beft pieces of Handel, Haydn, &c. was executed with much tafte, at the cathedral, This felection did great credit to Mr. Chard, the conductor, as nothing could, at this time, tend more to inflame the breafts of Britons with patriotic ardour than the fublime fontiments and animating trains which abound in the oratorios of Handel. Mrs. Billington, in the fongs of " Pious Orgies.' and Angels ever, bright and fair," was beyond defcription fafcinating and great. Mifs Tennant was particularly happy in "Awake, thou Lute and Harp," from Martini; and Denman gave the following appropriate air, with great energy, feeling, and effect: Arm, arm, ye brave! a noble cause, The caule of Heav'n your zeal demands; Indefence of your Nation, Religion, and Laws, The Almighty Jehovah will ttrengthen your hands. Oct. 8. A bull and four cows were this day killed by lightning, in the neighbourhood of Norwich. O. 9. This day, about three o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out at Hallplace School, Bexley, Kent. By the very fpirited exertions of the inhabitants of Bexley and Crayford, it was extinguished in about an hour. Some years ago a chimney had been Rumfordized, and the grate brought forward the room; a beam which the grate caught fire.

The lofts being full of hay and straw, foon fell in-upon and stiled nine horses belonging to the Leeds True Briton stage, and 3 pointers helonging to fome gentlemen, who were on a fhooting party, Affiftance being immediately given, and a prompt supply of water for the towne engine handed by a line of foldiers, and of women, headed by the Dowager Lady Spencer, herself affifting, and performing the kind labour in perfon, and furthered by that excellent engine from Hatfield Houfe, the houfe was preserved, except a room or two near the laundry, and the injury done to the furniture by haftily removing it or toffing it into the freet; but before the end of the week it was nearly re-placed. The ftables, with the lofts of thofe on the oppofite fide of the yard, being confiderably damaged, Mr. Domville, till they can be repaired, has mott kindly given up the ufe of thofe belonging to the Old Bull Inn, which he lately purchased with a view to take it down. The premifes were infured in the Sun Fire Office; and, by the attention of thofe good cuftomers whofe favours, have always diftin guilhed this antient and well-established inn for the last 50 years, from the time of the refpectable Mrs. Langford to the prefent attentive landlord Mr. Hayward, there is every encouragement to believe his lofs will be lightly It being the time of St. and the town particularly full the prefent Mayor, Mr. Balkerville, indulged the players, under the aufpices of Lady Spencer, with an additional night for the relief of the fervants of the inn, and one or two poor tenants whofe lofs is the most confiderable. The Archdeacon being on his fecond annual vifitation, his curricle was involved in the catastrophe and the chaife cafhions of his official, which were depofited in it. It being fuggefted that the baggage-waggon contained fome gunpowder it was drawn out of the yard by the exertions of a number of men, and up the hill by a team of horses. Alban's of peopl 08. 11. Leatherhead fair, on account of the weather being fine, was attended by almost all the refpectability of the neighbourhood. Very little bufinefs was done in the sheep fair; but pigs, being moderate in price, found a brisk file. A party of the roth Light Dragoons an arrived, and began to display their addrefs in performing the fword exercife, which created fome confufion, and drew on them the difpleafure of the crowd, who attacked them; and, driving them into a field, alfailed them with tones. The foldiers charged the people with drawn fwords, but the crowd ftood firm, and proved victorious. One foldier was feverely wounded in the face and eyes. A poor woman received a cut acrofs her arm and breaft, but fuppofed not dangeroully and a man had his hand or riving interfered, and put an end to the af fray, with the affiftance of Lord Leflie and Mr. he man, and ordered full amends to to the wounded parties; and the foldiers foon after left the place for Guildford.

This evening, as two young men from Lancafter were croffing the fands, to go to Allithwaite, in a gig, they unfortunately miffed the ford. The gig was overturned in the water, and one of them (Mr. Thomas Warbick) was drowned; the other providentially faved his life by fwimming to the shore. A report has been prevalent in Preftwich, that a tiger, which was faid to have broken from its keeper, at Warrington, has been feen in the woods there; in confequence of which, many of the inhabitants have been ranging them in fearch of the animal. The fhip Victory, Capt. Morrifon, of Liverpool, was lately loft whilft going out of port. She ftruck on the Weft end of the Hoyle; 59 perfons were the number on board, out of whom only 22 were faved. The Captain was among the drowned. She was a remarkably fine veffel. DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.

I am fatif fied the Fourth Regiment will never defert or difgrace them; but, animated as well as ftimulated by this generous fpirit of their fellow-citizens, every member thereof will display an ardent defe of convincing the world he is determined to deferve the Vores of Thanks he has received, by diftinguithing himself in the defence of his King, Constitution, and Country, against any and every Invader. Under this perfusion, I do most e refly reque-indred, by the authority with which I am invested, I do require and expect that no Gentleman, from henceforth, who has been enrolled, and confiders himfelf entitled to any advan-s tage or exemption therefrom, will abfent himself from the regular drills of the Regiment, unlefs very urgent bufinefs fhould compel him; always bearing in mind, that by conftant attendance alone, can a fuffi cient degree of military knowledge he acquired, to form a good and useful foldierindeed, I may add, a falé comrade in the ranks. You will alfo remember, that, at this juncture, facrifices must be made by all; indulgence must fubmit to public fpirit; and the I pronounce adien to all fear. In this expectation, with the most perfect confidence in you, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful humble fervant, left in the windlafs, the pall of the latter gave way, by which he received a violent e blow, was thrown cown the fore-hatchway into the ship's hold, and killed on the fpot. Several merchants, who witneffed the miffortune, have humanely entered into a fubfcription for the decesfed's family.

His life was faved by the valour of the English. His fuite at prefent confifts of 17 perfons; but the most valuable part of it, to the rumber of 13, has not yet arrived. It includes three beautiful females, one a favourite Georgian, to whom he is much attached. The other two are Circaffians; one remarkable for dancing, the other for finging. While at dinner, he is waited upon by four pages and a fecretary, who acts always as interpreter. He does not help himself at table; but, when he fignifies a liking to any particular dish, one of the pages help him he is a great epi. cure, and drinks two bottles of Champagne or Burgundy after dinner.

Of the Englith Ladies he speaks in terms of the most enthufiaftic admiration, Saturday, October 15. ! Wednesday, October 19. This day being appointed for a Generali Faft, was obferved with the utmost decorum in this great Meu opolis. The fhops and all the public offices were fhut, and the inte rior of every houfe wore the appearance/ of Sunday:The Volunteer Corps of Lon don and Wettminfter and their environs affembled at an early hour, and proceeded. to their several places of worship, where they received: the inftruction of appro-s priate fermons; and the Clergy difplayed, upon the occafion, a moft laudable zeal to 'ftrengthen and improve thofe generous and manly fentiments with which their audiences were infpired.-At half past ro St. Paul's Cathedral was furrounded with fpectators; and' before I the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and other city officers, with their diffe rent infignia, attended divine worship. To this cathedral alto repaired the Hon. Artillery Company, commanded by Alderman Le Mefurier, and confifting of upwards of 1000; the two troops of Loyal London Cavalry, commanded by Col.

The trees were fo ex-. tremely crowded, that it was with the greatest difficulty, and the most vigorous exertions of the pioneers, that the band could could reach the cathedral, and when they had gained admittance, the choir was not large enough to contain them; numbers went into the organ-loft, and the others were obliged to remain in the ailes during the whole time of divine fervice. All the freets leading to St. Paul's were crowded at the early hour of 8 o'clock, and remained fo the whole morning. About 11, the Lord Mayor arrived in his ftate carriage, accompanied by Aldermen Skinner and Boydell, the Sheriffs, and the City Officers. The crowd was fo great in the Cathedral, that it was difficult to make a paffage for their entrance into the choir. The whole of the morning fervice, both at the defk and the altar, was moft impreffively and diftinctly delivered by the Rev. John Pridden, one of the minor canons; and the fermon was preached by his Lordship's Chaplain, the Rev. John Hutchins. After the fermon the 3d regiment was affembled by companies under the dome, and the oath of allegiance adminiftered to the officers; and afterwards to the privates, fix at a time. This regiment then returned to their head-quarters in the fame order they came, and were difmiffed. Upon their return from St. Paul's, the London Cavalry drew up in front of the Mansion-house, where the Lord Mayor uncovered, in company with the Lady Mayorefs, returned their falute. They were then difmiffed, after their horn had founded "God fave the King," and their officers partook of a refreshment at the Manfion-houfe. The other nine reg:ments attended divine fervice in their respective wards. The first regiment of Loyal London Volunteers, commanded by Col. Birch, marched to St. Michael's Church, Cornhill. The fecond regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Jahn Smith, affembled at its head-quarters, Guildhall, at 10 o'clock, depofited their arms, and proceeded to St. Stephen's, Walbrook. The 4th regiment went to St. Sepulchre's. The 8th and 9th regiments, not finding accommodation for themfelves in large bodies, filed off into companies; and, for the most part, repaired to the churches of their refpective parishes. A part of the Ift regiment of the Eaft India Company Volunteers attended at St. Mary Axe. At St. Creed's was another part of that regiment, and the Aldgate, or 7th regiment of City Volunteers, headed by Alderman Combe their Colonel.

Bradley, alfo attended at St. Clement's; their number amounted to 70, and if they did not boaft a warlike appearance, they did a most interesting one. The Somerfet Houfe Volunteers went to the church of St. Mary-le-strand. Loyal City of Westminster Volunteer Corps attended divine fervice at the drum-head in Weftminster-hall. The fervice was performed by the Rev. William Dakins. The novelty of the performance of divine worship in that place attracted a very numerous congregation; among them was the Earl of Inchinquin. The Law Affociation attended divine fervice at the Temple Church, headed by their Colonel, the Hon. Thomas Erfkine; where a most impreffive difcourfe was delivered by Dr. Rennell; whom a commanding eloquence and dignified manner have long rendered an object of general refpect. On the present occafion there was much folicitude expreffed by many to get entrance to the church, which was crowded in all parts; and, indeed, the difcourfe was fuch as warranted the folicitude the expectation of it excited. The learned Divine, after defcanting upon the public evils which furrounded us, combated the opinions of antient Philofophers, that there were two diftinct principles of good and evil. He fhewed from holy writ, that God was the author of all evil as well as good; but in doing this, he nevertheless juftified ways of God to man. He fhewed that mankind, by their wickedness, had provoked the Divine difpleafure, whose jus tice had ever been adminiftored in the extremity of mercy; and thence took occafion to admonish his hearers that they fhould conciliate, by amended conduct, the favour of the Deity, fo that when they went forth to the protection of all that was dearer than themfelves, they might have his countenance with them, whether they went to death or to glory. After church, the corps returned to the ground, when it was announced that on Saturday next they would commence firing with ball. Col. Erfkine and most of the other officers were prefent. Afterwards the oath of alle the allegiance was administered to them in the Temple-gardens. The St. George's Volunteers, Hanover-fquare, attended at their own church. The fermon was delivered by the Bishop of London's nephew. The Loyal Britons Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Col. Alexander Davifon, met in their ground in Bolton-row, and, after going through various evolutions, had an excellent difcourfe delivered to them by their Chaplain. The St. Giles's and St. George's, after attending divine fervice at St. Giles's, proceeded at one to the Toxopholite ground behind Gower-Street, where they received their colours among thousands of fpectators. The Kenfington Volunteers, under the command of Henry Knight, efq. their Captain, after the ufual hours of parade, marched to their own church. The following corps alfo attended divine fervice at the following churches and places. The Duke of Glocefter's, at South Audley chapel. The Royal Mary-la-bonne, Upper Seymour-freet chapel. The Bloomfbury in the chapel in the Foundling Hofpital. The St. Pancras at the church at Somers' Town. The Highgate at High gate church. The Riflemen, er Sharp Shooters, at St. Paul, Covent-garden.

The Duke of York and the whole brigade of Guards attended at the Almonry chapel, Weftminster, with the following diftinguished officers: Gen. Burrard, Gen. Leflie, Gen. Calvert, A. G. Gen. Brownrigg, Q. M. G. Gen. Wynyard, D. A. G. Col. Murray, with the Duke's Staff, the Hon. Capts. A and T. Upton and Paget. Before and after the fervice, the Duke of York's band performed; feveral of the Guards alfo affifted in the choir. The Queen's Own, or Queen's Royal regiment of Volunteers, met in Mr. Holland's field, oppofite Sloane-ftreet, under the command of Lord Hobart. That fine Corps began to affemble after eleven. When they were all collected, and had paraded for a fhort time, they marched down to Ranelagh Houfe, where the morning fervice was read by the Rev. Weeden But ler, jun. after which the Rev. Weeden Butler, fen. Chaplain to the Duke of Kent and to the regiment, preached an eloquent difcourfe. Mr. Watts (organist to Charlotte Street Chapel, Pimlico), was then requefted to prefide at the Organ; and the whole regiment immediately fang "God Save the King," in a flow, loud, and There Such a number of corps attended this day, that it is impoffible to enumerate them. Every principal church was crowded with the ardent patriots who fill the voluntary affociations; and there can be no doubt that in the prefent temper of the people of this country, not only every other great city and town, but even the smallest village or hamlet throughout the Ifland, evinced a proportionate degree of fervour and animation in the holy caufe. The corps who had not before taken the oath of allegiance did fo this day, either on their drill grounds, or in their respective churches. Among the number, upwards of 300 of the most refpe&table individuals of the Jewish perfuafion took the oaths to Government. By an order from their bigh priest, they were prohibited from attending in our churches during the time of divine fervice. The high priest, however, expreffed his higheft concurrence to their taking the oaths of fidelity and allegiance to our King and country. Thefe gentlemen accordingly took the oaths, either upon the drilling grounds of their respective corps, or in the veftry-rooms of the churches, as circumftances required. They were fworn upon the book of Leviticus instead of the New Teftament, having their heads uncovered. Wednesday, Oct. 26. This was a truly proud day for the country. It prefented the fublime fpectacle of a Patriot Monarch, who reigns no lefs diftinguished in the hearts of his people than on his throne, meeting the brave Citizens of his Metropolis, armed in defence of his Crown and of the British Conftitution, and, with the characteristic virtue of the fons of Albion, refolved to continue free, or glorioufly to fall with the liberty and independence of their country. Such a fpectacle is worthy of fuch a people; fuch a people are deferving the fuperior bleffings they poffefs. as As foon as the light appeared, the greater part of the population of London was on the foot in every quarter, impelled by the most ardent and most laudable curiofity, to be prefent at this grand, interefting, and glorious fcene. There was on every countenance not a common curiofity, fuch was excited by former military fpectacles, when the King reviewed his foldiers: it was a deeper and more lively intereft. The ties which connect our gracious Sovereign with his people have been drawn clofer, by the common danger with which our auda cious enemy has dared to threaten both. 9 The mutual affections which have ever h united them are enhanced.
