LONDON, Friday, March 5
His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Stanhope, the Earl of Coventry, and a long &c. of titled and distinguished characters were present on Tuesday in the House of Commons, during a considerable part of the debate.
Both the Archbishops and five Bishops, sat under the gallery to hear the whole of the debates.
Lord North was so much indisposed on Tuesday, that he was unable to attend the House on this important occasion.
The number present, on the call of the House, was 439 - excused 44 -- ordered to attend 68, and 7 seats vacant - 40 paired off before the division.
It is remarkable; that had the 159 absentees been added to the 105 who voted for the Repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts on Tuesday last, the Dissenters. would then have lost their question by a majority of 30 - 105 and 159 making only 264 - and 294 - voted against the Repeal, which two numbers constitute the whole body of the House of Commons.
The vigour with which the Civil and Ecclesiastical Constitution of England was defended on Tuesday, will, we trust, ensure the stability of peace and good government. The plea against the Test Act was not taken up in behalf of the Dissenters - it was considered as against Establishment and Order. In this view it was seen by Mr. Burke, who said, that ten years ago he would have espoused the Dissenters cause - three years ago he would have hesitated - but what he had lately discovered, had decided him against them.
A travelling hatter was apprehended lately at Newcastle, in consequence ,of his having confessed, when in liquor, that he had murdered the turnkey of the Savoy prison some time ago; and made his escape from thence with eight others.
Yesterday John Cannon, the lunatic, who was taken into custody at St. James's on Monday for taking the standard flag, &c. was brought before Sir Sampson Wright, and underwent a re-examination. He appears so much disordered in his mind, that the Magistrate thought it most advisable to pass him as a lunatic to his parish in the Isle of Man. He is a young man, about twenty years of age, and has been bred up to the sea in the slave trade. He was very submissive, and seemed happy in being sent home to his native country.
We are sorry to inform our readers, that Mrs. Yearsley, the Poetic Milk woman has been bit in the face by her own dog, that went mad, and is now in the most tormenting apprehensions of the dreadful consequences.

LONDON, Monday, March 8.
Yesterday se'nnight, about four o'clock in the morning, the village of Arnside, near Milthorp. in Westmorland, was alarmed by a. violent subterraneous explosion, much louder than thunder. The inhabitants ran from their houses to the Sea-side, to avoid the impending danger. As soon as day-light appeared, they discovered in the earth a chasm of nearly two hundred feet wide, and of an immense depth. By this dreadful and uncommon accident, six houses and a number of cattle were lost. Those who dwelt at the distance of four miles from Arnside, felt a slight shock. Another small charm is discovered about three miles from the great one, and a horse which was on the spot, is missing, and supposed to have been swallowed up by it. The sands en the adjacent sea-coast were agitated for several hours after the shock.

On Wednesday afternoon, the following phenomenon happened at Wymondham in Norfolk : a part of the garden of Mr. Mileham and of the pasture adjoining, instantly sunk about ten feet in a circular form, about 20 feet over. It was attended with no noise, and we are happy to hear with no damage of consequence; no reason can yet be assigned for this extraordinary accident.
Yesterday a man genteely dressed was taken out of the river at Palace-yard steps, above Westminster bridge; on being searched, nothing was found in his pockets except a key, a corkscrew, and two bad halfpence; a watch-chain was sewed to the fob of his breeches, and he had all the appearance of a Frenchman; but as there was nothing about him to discover who he was, he was carried to St.Margaret's bone-house to be owned.

The Committee of. Privileges have determined that Mr. Hastings, who claims the Earldom of Huntingdon, is justly entitled by legal descent to that honourable distinction.
Mr. Hastings, now Earl of Huntingdon, was formerly a common sailor in the royal navy, but. has for some years past been in a subordinate situation in the Custom-house at Folkstone :- He is generally spoken of as a worthy but eccentrick character.
No parts of the late Earl of Huntingdon's estates attach to the title; the new Earl will therefore be but little the better for his "blushing honours, " unless he is able to obtain a pension from Government to support his rank; or derives a suitable support from the generosity of his recently discovered family.
A very uncommon circumstance occurred on Saturday last; in the neighbourhood of Windsor, during the late chace. His Majesty was out with the stag hounds in pursuit of a stag. Lord Berkeley's fox hounds after a. fox, and the King's harriers in chase of a hare. The three packs met together in a field, and the consequence was, that all the sport was put a stop to- the stag, fox, and hare, each escaped, and the packs all mingled together in confusion.
On Thursday last a dreadful und melancholy accident happened facing the Magdalen-house, Surrey-street-road. Two men driving a one-horse chaise negligently, in turning the corner down the lane that leads to the King's Bench, threw down two children, the one about twelve years of age, the other an infant in arms; and the wheel passing over the lower part of the face of the older, forced her eyes out of her head, and killed the child on the spot. The infant was sadly bruised, but not dangerously hurt. The men in the chaise were loudly called to, in time to prevent the disaster, but either did not hear what was said to them, or inhumanely disregarded it.
Intelligence from Rome announces the fate of the eccentric and now unfortunate Count Cagliostro. This extraordinary character, after rambling through almost every country in Europe, and experienced a variety of adventures, has at last fallen into a pit of destruction.--- In one country he was a prophet, in another a physician, and in a third a seditious firebrand.- -- By some intercepted letters it appears, that at Rome his object was to overturn the Papal Government. - His, wife and another person are involved with him.--- They are all condemned to be burnt alive.

WILKES v. HARFORD.
This Action was brought against the Defendant, for arising his flood-gates above their usual height, whereby the water from defendant's mill-pond was pounded up to the bottom of the plaintiff's wheel, so as to make it wade, and to prevent the water that worked it from flowing from the bottom of plaintiff's water wheel; and thereby it was impeded in its velocity. Mr. Bower on opening the case for the plaintiff, signified to the Court, that he should not give evidence of any special damages, and that the plaintiff would be satisfied with nominal damages only. - Upon the trial of this cause, the plaintiff did not prove the actual raising of the defendant's flood-gates, but clearly proved, by marks made in the side of defendants mill-pond, and from different circumstances, that the water was pounded up higher by eight or nine inches, that it had used to be; and, upon a view taken by seven of the Jury before the trial of this cause, it did not appear, nor was it proved by the defendant, that the rise of the water at the bottom of plaintiff's wheel, could have been made by any other means than that of defendant's raising his flood-gates. After a trial of seven hours and a half, the Jury brought in a Verdict for the Plaintiff, with One Shilling Damages.

Verdict - Accidental Death.
On Sunday night last, as Mr. Carline, of Shrewsbury, was returning from Wellington, he was attacked on the road near the spot where the Bolas's gibbet formerly stood, by three men, one of whom in attempting to seize the bridle was thrown down by the spiritedness of the horse, which gave Mr.C. an opportunity of escaping their hands, which was fortunate, he having a considerable sum about him.

We are sorry to hear that some disturbances have broke out in the Electorate of Hanover, the particulars of which have not yet transpired.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, Feb. 26.
"Monday last the celebrated Barrington, who so narrowly escaped execution in London a short time since, arrived from Holyhead in one of the packet-boats. He first embarked at Liverpool with Capt. Power, and, on the passage, by a most polite and conciliating address, ingratiated himself very much into the esteem of the passengers. During some particular attentions to a lady indisposed through the roughness of the sea, he found means to pick her pocket of a purse containing 28 guineas; notwithstanding his genteel and specious appearance, the fair one accused him directly of the theft, and he found himself necessitated to submit to examination, though not without complaining in pointed terms of his wounded feelings and offended respectability on such a suspicion. The money was not got in his possession, but on a close search was found undiminished in one of the beds.
"By contrary winds he was forced into Holy-head, after being some days at sea.; and from thence he proceeded in another vessel to this kingdom. In the course of his passage he mentioned some elevated and respectable characters as his friends, and declared an anxiety to be at the Castle on a particular day (we suppose the birth-day) in order to pay his devoirs - certainly in the professional way-to the Nobility and Gentry at the Irish Court.
"He has been seen in one or two coffee-houses in town since his arrival, and it cannot be an unnecessary caution to guard the public against the uncommon dexterity of this Prince of pickpockets."
Tuesday at half past two o'clock, Miss Tyson, daughter of the late Governor, threw herself out of her window in Brook-street; she fell upon the lamp-iron and rails, and is not dangerously hurt, though cut about the eyes and face, and otherwise bruised. She had long been in a desponding way.
On Thursday died at ten o'clock died, at his house, in Dartmouth-street, Westminster, the Right Rev. Dr. Samuel Hallifax, Lord Bishop and Archdeacon of St.Asaph, Rector of Worksop, in Nottinghamshire, and Master of the Faculties.
To the Worthy and Independent FREEMEN
of the City of WORCESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
A Report having been industriously circulated that I decline continuing a Candidate for your Suffrages at the next General Election; it is my Duty to assure you, I have not the most distant Idea of relinquishing the high Honor I aspire to, of being again one of your Representatives in Parliament : and I therefore trust, my Friends will (as I do) treat such Malevolence with Contempt.
The very great Encouragement I met with on my Canvass, and the many liberal Assurances of Support I have since received, demand my most grateful Acknowledgements, and justify me in looking forward to the Day of Poll with Confidence of Success, when I shall hope for the Continuance of the Electors who favour me with their Approbation.
I am, GENTLEMEN,
With great Respect,
Your obliged and most devoted Servant,
SAMUEL SMITH.
LONDON, Jan. 18, 1790.
To the Worthy and Independent FREEMEN
of the City of WORCESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
NOTWITHSTANDING my public Assurances in October last, I find a Report has again been spread, and as artfully propagated, that I mean to decline standing at the General Election; permit me, therefore, with (if possible) still greater Confidence to assure you, that there is not the smallest Ground for so unjust an Insinuation, as I am determined to persevere with unalterable Firmness to the last : And, indeed, after the generous Encouragement which I have received, and the hearty Zeal I have experienced in the Course of my Canvass, any Act that borders on Secession, or mean Desertion, must for ever brand my Character with the just Charge of Ingratitude and Dishonour.
I am,
GENTLEMEN,
With the greatest Respect,
Your devoted, obedient,
And faithful Servant,
EDMUND LECHMERE, Jun.
Henley. January 22, 1790.
To the Worthy and Independent Electors of the
Borough of Evesham.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING now completed my Canvass as far as my information of the residence of the Electors extended, I beg leave to assure you, I have received so large and decided a majority of unequivocal and hearty promises, that there is no room left to doubt my success.
if through ignorance of the place of abode of any of the Electors, they have not been applied to, I hope they will pardon the omission. It required no deep penetration to discover, that the late combinations of discordant and jarring interests, which was formed to annihilate your Freedom and Consequence, would naturally rouse the independent Electors to the most vigorous efforts in defence of the cause of Liberty. The expectation which I formed, that every attempt to monopolize your Borough would be in vain, has been fully answered in the course of my Canvass.- It will ever be to me a reflextion of exultation and gratitude, that you have made me the Instrument to secure your best privileges; and while I offer you my most grateful acknowledgements, for your kind and unprecedented support, I congratulate you on the pleasing prospect of your approaching triumph. - I invite my opponents to the contest; I long for the day of trial; and I solemnly pledge myself to persevere in this honourable pursuit, till the last Man shall be polled.
I have the Honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted humble Servant,
THOMAS THOMPSON.

I have been for several years past sorely afflicted with the Scurvy in both legs and arms, and to such a degree, that I have many times been obliged to take the back part of a knife and scrape the scurf off my legs, to procure a temporary relief from the most violent irritations, which were beyond my description unbearable, and this at the expence of a profusion .of blood and great soreness. I have been under the hands of many medical gentlemen in England and France, but could never procure relief.
In July last I purchased a bottle of your Drops of Mr. Gillman, in Rochester; and having adhered closely to the Medicine and your directions, I now, thank God, find myself perfectly recovered, not having the least symptoms of the disorder remaining, and follow my business regularly, which is that of a fisherman.
I am, Sir, &c.
WILLIAM RING.
Witnesses to the cure,

GRAVEL and STONE.
Stoppage of Urine, Complaints in the Back, Kidneys, and Bladder, &c, effectually cured, and lost Appetite restored.
THE GRAVEL and STONE are Complaints which every person is liable to, as the air we breathe, and the element we drink, are impregnated with particles which are a foundation for every other disorder.
HICKMAN's Original PILLS,
Composed of the most innocent ingredients, are of singular efficacy in not only strengthening the vessels containing the urine, but destroying the petrifying qualities without confinement.
After a private practice of many years, they are now offered to the afflicted. - To advance that they will cure every disorder which the human frame is incident to, would be adopting the stile of a QUACK; - they are therefore recommended as salutary for a cure of the above complaints only, by a safe gentle operation, without the least painful sensation, - Prices 2s. 6d per box, duty included.
The following are cures amongst many other too tedious to insert.- Numerous original letters may be seen by applying to H. Wray and Co. Birchin-Lane, London.
Mr. John Bent, of Barnsley, Yorkshire, cured by taking three boxes of the Pills, of a gravelly complaint, attended by violent pains in the loins and sides.
George Gordon, Esq. Sub-Sheriff of Berwickshire, by using Hickman's Pills, two months, cured of the gravel of twenty years standing, attended with the most acute pains, after following the best advice without finding relief.
