Edward Knapp, Jun. and Benjamin Whitear having succeeded to the Coal and Salt Trade, &c. of the late Mr.E.Knapp's Executors, beg leave to solicit the favours of their Predecessor's Friends and the Public, and to assure them that no attention shall be wanting to merit a continuance of them.




Bale and Godwin, Upholsterers, Cabinet-Makers, Auctioneers, and Appraisers, Winchester.
Partnership Dissolved.

James Bale, in retiring from Business, begs most respectfully, with every feeling of the warmest gratitude, to return his most hearty thanks to his numerous Friends, for the very distinguished patronage he has during a series of years enjoyed, and assures his Friends and Patrons, that the remembrance of their liberal favours and support, during his continuance in business, will be ever cherished by him with every grateful sensation that their generosity and friendship is so fully calculated to excite.
J.B. takes this opportunity to most earnestly recommend his late Partner, T.Godwin, as a person whose experience and application, he feels confident, will merit the future patronage of his Friends and the Public, and doubts not but that, by attention to the wishes of his Friends, he will endeavour to entitle himself to their full support in the various branches of his extensive undertaking.
T.Godwin, in consequence of Mr.Bale's retiring from business, and his having taken to the whole concern, feels it the first duty incumbent on him to return his acknowledgements to his numerous Friends for the share of their favours he has already received, and, with unfeigned sentiments of gratitude, begs their acceptance of his most sincere thanks.
In humble soliciting the continuance of their future favours in the Cabinet and Upholstery Branches, he trusts, for the experience he has had in one of the most eminent Houses in the Metropolis, and several years in his present situation, with the advantage of possessing a select Stock of choice and superior Materials, in aid of his constant endeavoursto present a novel variety in the stile and execution of Furniture, and a scrupulous attention to just manufacture, will secure his the patronage of the numerous Friends of the Firm. And, in the important department of Auctioneer and Appraiser, he confidently hopes that zealous attention and earnest solicitude to the interests of his employers, in the various concerns that may be entrusted to his charge, will entitle him to the approbation of his Friends and the Public in general, to deserve which will ever be his chief pride and ambition.

On Monday evening an elegant Ball and Supper were given by Col.Maxwell, Major Wilkie, and other Officers of the garrison, to the Gentlemen and Ladies of this city. The rooms were most superbly decorated.- Two pairs of colours were displayed, one at the upper and the other at the lower end of the ball-room.- The attention of the company was also directed to the extraordinary but tasty arrangement of muskets and bayonets, of which more than 100 were placed in front of the orchestra, and over them, in the centre, was seen a large star, composed entirely of bayonets; there were several smaller stars of the like description in different parts of the room. The guests were regaled at supper with all the delicacies of the season, and the choicest wines, after which the festive dance was renewed, and continued till Aurora gave her gentle warning to the delighted guests that the hour of departure was come.

The Soberton Races on Tuesday last afforded great sport, and were attended by the greatest number of Sporting Gentlemen ever seen on Soberton Down. The Sweepstakes were won by Mr.Fleming's Traveller, and the Cup given by Mr.Powlett, by Mr.Smith's chesnut horse, by Bladud, out of the mare that won the cup in 1805. A large party of the Club and their friends dined at Fareham, when it was proposed (besides the two Cups to be run for next year) that a Subscription should be opened, of Five Guineas each, for Hunters that have been regularly hunted with either of the three packs, viz. Mr.Powlett's, Mr.Villebois's, or the Duke of Richmond's, who have never started, paid or received forfeit, except for the H.H.C. and H.H. Cups, or Goodwood Hunter's Stakes, the winner of either to carry seven pound extra. The Subscription to be closed and Horses named by 1st of April, 1814. Eleven gentlemen immediately put down their names.
The day was concluded by a ball, which was attended by all the neighbouring families; at one o'clock the supper-rooms were opened, when 140 sat down to a most elegant supper; at half-past two the dancing re-commenced, and was kept up with spirit till five o'clock in the morning.

A few days since died, at Southampton, after a long and painful illness, Mrs.Adams, wife of Mr.James Adams, of that place.

On Tuesday last, a most daring and atrocious robbery was committed in our county Hospital. It appears that the robbers entered the premises through the kitchen window. The Larder was plundered of several articles of provisions, and a quantity of table linen was taken from a drawer. The villains likewise carried off with them five silver spoons, a man's hat, and several other articles.- We are sorry to add, that as yet they remain undiscovered.
