A riot lately took place at Lynn among the sailors, in consequence of a reduction of wages, which increased to acts of violence, when the gaol-doors and windows were demolished and forced, and two of the most active,who had been apprehended, released. An express was immediately dispatched to Norwich for military aid, and, in twenty hours after, a troop of FOREIGNERS, the Brunswick Hussars, arrived!!! But the disturbance was happily over be fore their arrival. The calling in of the foreigners was, it is said, the sole act of the

The western extremity was best terminated, it had the appearance of a dense white cloud or smoke passing a very little to the east of the head of Castor, gradually widening as it increased in altitude, and being at 10° or 120 in width, where most extended; rather uneven and branching at its edges; the principal stars were visible through it even near the hori zon. Its greatest altitude about 55° or 60° It exceeded the brightness of the Milkyway when the Moon is absent, and was very like the light of the Moon of about three-quarters old, when seen in the daytime. She was then shining brightly at about four days from the fall. Wind rather brisk and sharp. Bar. 29.5, Therm. 39 under shelter. A smaller branch passed over Orion westward.

KENT.

The south-west gales between the 16th and 20th, covered the southern coasts of this county with wrecks. The British Queen Packet, from Ostend for Margate, was lost, with all on board, on the Goodwin sands. The persevering error of persons who go to sea, in omitting to provide themselves with cork jackets as a security against the hazards of a lee shore, diminishes the regret which might be felt if the loss of life was unavoidable.

unavoidable. They might be secure for a few shillings, but they prefer the hazard, leaving their surviving friends to deplore the consequences of their fatal obstinacy. An Act of Parliament of twenty lines, imposing severe penalties on Captains who go to sea, without as many cork jackets on board as persons, would be the evident means of saving five thousand British lives per annum, and of preventing inconceivable horrors and miseries.

A petition has been presented to the Commons from the Directors of Ramsgate Harbour, stating that they have been obliged to resort to the capital fund of 50,0001. 3 per cent. stock, established ander Acts of the 32d and 37 th of Geo. III, to be applied in the repair of demolition, arising from inevitable accidents to the said harbour, and have expended a considerable part thereof; and that the cross wall being in a weak state, requires that the same should be strengthened and altered, and that as many of the provisions of the said Acts require to be amended, they pray for leave to bring in a bill for the

same.

TO CORRESPONDENTS, &c.

She was

The happy termination of the War with America, enabling the friends of Literature in that country to indulge again in the luxury of an English Miscellany, we take the liberty to inform our transatlantic friends, that the Monthly Magazine will be transmitted as heretofore, through the General Post-Office of both countries, on payment in London or America of two guineas, or eight dollars per annum, and will be delivered monthly in every part of the UNION, free of further charge.—Arrears may also be had on the same terms.

Our old friends, all over the Continent of Europe, have complimented us by renewing their orders, so as to place this Magazine in the Post Office distribution, far above every other En glish publication, if not equal to all the others united.

Nor is the preference we enjoy confined to foreign patronage—our circulation never stood higher in Great Britain and Ireland, and though we endeavour to deserve the public favour, yet liberal encouragement stimulates our pride and gratitude, and confers on us an envied distinction which we are determined not to lose.

Several esteemed communications are deferred, owing to our desire to finish in this Volume the truly Classica! Discourse of Mr. Taylor, and the amusing and instructive Tour to Paris. Various impatient friends must, therefore, kindly tolerate our limited powers till another month. The account of G. Noble has been deferred by accident.--The Strictures of several Correspondents on the American war, are happily rendered nugutory; and as politics are now become less mischievous, it will be a rare gratification to us to feel less occasion to act the part of censors.

Our friends will please to remember, that the SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER to our THIRTYEIGHTH Volume, will appear on the last day of this month.
