An agricultural laborer, who, for some offence, was undergoing his sentence at the tread-mill, was asked by one of our County Magistrates, whether the work he was then at, was harder than that to which he had been accustomed ? The man after making a slight calculation replied, that it was decidedly harder than day work, but not quite so hard as lug work.
Some of those infatuated creatures denominated "Ranters" "held forth" in our Market-place last evening, which drew together some 50 or 60 persons, whose conduct on the occasion, we are happy to say, was very decorous. But surely such exhibitions cannot be productive of the slightest good. - "There is a time for all things."
A man who hawks goods around the country for sale, called at the shop of a linen draper in this town on Thursday last, and persuaded the shopman to allow him to take two pieces of Irish to Dunkirk, about a mile from Devizes, to shew to the lady with whom he lodged, who, he stated, had promised to purchase one piece from him, and the other he would return by the boy from the shop, who was to accompany him, together with the money for the piece sold. On arriving at Dunkirk, he left the boy in possession of the Irish, and returned to the shop, observing that neither of the pieces sent was fine enough for the purpose, and by some other misrepresentations succeeded in having two pieces more entrusted to him. Within half an hour afterwards, the master was made acquainted with the circumstance, who, naturally suspecting a trick, and fearing that the hawker might be already off, sent a messenger on horseback in quest of him and the Irish. - True enough, the hawker and the four pieces of Irish were by this time far on their travels together. Under pretence of going to a neighbouring house, Master Hawker took to the fields, and proceeded at a quick pace towards Chippenham. The boy, however, was on the watch, followed, and overtook him; but meeting with no one from whom he could obtain assistance, he actually travelled several miles by the side of him, determined not to leave him until he got the pieces of Irish. - The messenger overtook them somewhere in Melksham forest; but instead to apprehending the man at once, as he was desired to do, he set the boy on the horse and sent him after a constable. In the mean time the Hawker bounced and blustered, showed the messenger a piece of paper on which was written the number of yards and the price of two pieces of the Irish, which he had obtained from the shopman, and actually hum'd him (the messenger) that it was a receipt for them ! "But there (said the fellow with a consummate effrontery) I don't want to give you any further trouble, take the pieces back again (giving him two pieces only); but be sure to tell your master that I will never buy another article from his shop; and that as sure as he lives, I'll pull him up for this trick !" - The messenger took the two pieces of Irish, and faithfully promised to deliver the message. He was hieing home in great glee, when he met the boy who was sent for the constable, to whom he related his good management. With great difficulty, the boy persuaded him he had been duped : he again turned back; but after a day's fruitless ride, he came home to let his master that the hawker and two pieces of the Irish were non est inventus.
On the 3d instant, Thomas Denman Whatley, esq. M.A., of Cirencester, was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple.

The annual meeting of the Wilts and general Horticultural Society, was held at the Castle Inn, Marlborough, on Friday the 17th instant, when a splendid display of the most choice and rare vegetable productions were exhibited for competition.
