Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury & Winchester Journal
Monday, October 18th, 1784.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal.
SIR,
I desire you will in your next publish the following Extract from Dr. PRICE'S very ingenious Book of ANNUITIES, ASSURANCES ON LIVE's, and the PUBLIC CREDIT, by Way of Caution to the Credulous and Unwary at this important Juncture.
THE National Debt is a subject in which the public is deeply interested. Some observations have occurred to me upon it, which I think important; and for this reason cannot help begging leave to offer them to the reader's attention.
The practice of raising the necessary supplies for every public service, by borrowing money on great interest, to be continued till 'the principal is discharged, must be in the highest degree detrimental to a kingdom, unless a plan is settled, for putting its debts into a regular and certain course of payment. When this is not done, a kingdom, by such a practice, obliges itself to return for every sum it borrows infinitely greater sums; and, for the sake of a present advantage, subjects itself to a burden which must be always growing heavier and heavier, till it becomes insupportable.
Such seems to be now the very state of this nation. At the REVOLUTION, an aera in other respects truly glorious, the practice I have mentioned begun. Ever since, the public debt has been increasing fast, and every new war has added much more to it, than was taken from it, during the preceding period of peace. In the year 1700, it was 16 millions. In 1715, it was 55 millions. A peace, which continued till 1740, sunk it to 47 millions; but the succeeding war increased it to 78 millions; and the next peace sunk it no lower than 72 millions. In the last war it rose to 148 millions; and, at a few millions less than this sum it now stands, and probably will stand, till another war raises it perhaps to 200 millions.- One cannot reflect on this without terror.- No resources can be sufficient to support a kingdom long in such a course. 'Tis obvious, that the consequence of accumulating debts so rapidly; and of mortgaging posterity, and funding for eternity, in order to pay the interest of them; must in the end prove destructive.
The evils and dangers, attending an exorbitant public debt in this country are so great, that they cannot be exaggerated.- Without repeating, what has been so often said, of its increasing the dependence on the Crown, by jobs and places without number; occasioning execrable practices of the jobbers in the Alley to delude and deceive the unwary; rendering us tributary to foreigners; and raising the price of provisions and labour; and, consequently, checking population, and loading and discouraging our trade and manufactures; I will only take notice of the two following evils which attend it.
In the first place: It must check the exertions of the spirit of liberty in the kingdom. The tendency of every government is to despotism; and in this it must end, if the people are not constantly jealous and watchful. Opposition, therefore, and resistance are often necessary. But they may throw things into confusion, and occasion the ruin of the public funds.
But further: It exposes us to particular danger from foreign as well as domestic enemies, by making us fearful of war, and incapable of engaging in it, however necessary, without the hazard of bringing on terrible convulsions by overwhelming public credit.
All these are evils which must increase with every increase of the national debt; and there is a point at which, when they arrive, the consequences must be fatal.
Dr. Price's book, it must be observed, was published in 1771, since which the national debt has increased to upwards of 250 millions, and the total interest to be paid annually is calculated at �9,638,311. This great increase in debt since 1771 has lowered the stocks no less than 32 per cent in twelve years, viz. the three per cents were then 87, (and thought very low) and now 55, and still on the decline.
The Earl of Stair, in his State of the Public Debts, asserts, that if the annual nett amount of the public revenue cannot be brought to rise higher than twelve millions, of which he says there is no great probability, the whole of the deficiencies must fall on the creditors of the public, who, instead of receiving �9,638,311 will only receive �6,500,000 which is no more than 13s. 6d. in the pound.
I was provoked to publish these observations by the many little, delusive articles, I frequently see thrown out in the papers by ministerial hirelings and execrable stock-jobbers, who have not yet, that I have seen, published any one rational plan for raising the funds, or giving the least lift to public credit; and therefore that the public in general, whatever the incautious and unwary may have done, pay not the least regard thereto, is evident by the stocks still continuing to fall rather than rise, owing to there being abundantly more sellers than buyers. The former say they know the worst of it; the latter may, like many thousands who have gone before them, lose even now from thirty to forty per cent. and not impossible the whole; for it is beyond a doubt that the funds must in time be partly if not totally annihilated, or we must cease to be any longer a formidable people.
Here I can't help taking notice of one of those ingenious harpies of the Alley, who writes in one of the papers, We hear Administration are determined to take the most vigorous measures at the meeting of Parliament to support and re-establish the credit of the Public Funds; and that a million of four per cents. and a million of three per cents will actually be paid off, and productive taxes gone upon to lay one million annually to act by compound interest towards the discharge of the National Debt, &c. &c.
This is altogether as ridiculous as it would be for a man, (who had a very large estate, and through extravagance and mismanagement mortgaged it to a great number of different persons to nearly its full value, and the produce would but little more than pay the interest, and the creditors in consequence doubting their security, were selling their debts from 20 to 30, and some 40 per cent. loss) should say to them, My credit is low, I grant, but my stewards are determined, at the meeting of the next Court, to support and re-establish it, by raising more money on my estates, which they assure me they shall be able to do by giving a handsome douceur to the credulous lenders.
A Friend to the Public.
* "Either the nation ( as Mr. Hume says, Essays, vol. II. p.145.) must destroy public credit; or public credit destroys the nation"- A dreadful alternative ! surely.

FOREIGN NEWS.
HAGUE, Oct. 7.
THE Governor of Fort-Lillo has sent information, that last week a vessel under Austrian colours sailed from Antwerp amidst the loudest acclamations of the citizens, in order to pass by the Eastern branch of the Scheldt into the ocean, then to proceed to France, to take in a cargo of the wines of that country. The Governor, in obedience to the resolution of the States-General, permitted the vessel to pass before Lillo; but when she arrived at Sattingen, the frigates stationed there obstructed her passage, therefore she returned up the river to the place from whence she sailed without meeting any further molestation. The unexpected return of the vessel, however, so exasperated the Antwerpers, that they vented their rage by discharging showers of stones at the vessel when she entered the port.
COUNTY NEWS.
READING, Oct. 9. Monday morning last, between seven and eight o'clock, their Majesties and the Princess, with two of the young Princesses, passed through this town, on a visit to the Earl of Aylesbury, at his seat at Tottenham-Park, near Marlborough, Wilts, where they arrived at half past eleven, and breakfasted with the Earl. After the Royal Visitors had taken an excursion round the park, pleasure ground, &c. (with which they appeared much pleased) they were again entertained by his Lordship, and about four o'clock left Tottenham, on their return to Windsor, where they arrived at half past nine, in perfect health and great spirits. His Majesty's own horses brought them to the Crown Inn, where they took post-horses to the George and Pelican, Speenhamland, from whence a fresh set took them to Tottenham. The bells of the different towns and villages through which their Majesties passed, that were previously apprised of their coming, were set a ringing, and the ringers were liberally rewarded by his Majesty's orders.
LONDON, TUESDAY, Oct 12.
The reduction of the army, which was expected to be in December next, will be on a different plan to that proposed in the House of Commons, viz. to reduce the 67th, 68th, 69th, and 70th regiments: In lieu of those, the present intention is, to reduce five men a-company throughout the army, which will amount to 2800 men, the pay and cloathing of which, at a moderate estimation, is �33,600. annually. Allowing each regiment to have forty men a company, the pay, &c. of the privates of the four regiments will amount to �19,200. and that of the officers to about �16,800. per ann. all contingencies included, which plainly shows, by the above plan, Government can retain the four regiments in their service at little more expence, if so much, as that of �2000. annually, our correspondent is led to think, upon maturer consideration, that the pay, &c. of the 2800 men will fully answer the keeping up of the above regiments. The advantages attending this mode are not few, for whilst his Majesty keeps up seventy regiments, they can be much easier recruited, at least the five men a-company, on an emergency, than it would be to raise four new regiments; and to the officers the advantage is sufficiently obvious, many of whom purchased into those regiments, thinking them secure from reduction.
His Majesty has been pleased to incorporate the surgeons of Dublin into a College, to be called henceforward the Royal College of surgeons of Ireland, with authority to examine and grant Letters Testimonial to all such persons as shall be deemed qualified to practise surgery in that kingdom. Mr. Samuel Croker King is elected President, and is to be assisted by five Censors, a Secretary, &c.
A curious method is now using in Pennsylvania, by the Americans, to secure to themselves plenty of cash. Every guinea they receive, they take a piece out of it, to reduce it to a certain value; which confines it among them, as such will not pass elsewhere; and though it may appear strange, it is a truth. Very little loss is sustained by any individual in doing so, only the price of cutting, for the bit taken off they sell, and as it is a general resolution, no one suffers, as it benefits the whole, by keeping among themselves plenty of specie. A person from this kingdom now in Baltimore, in writing to his friends here the other day, mentions the circumstance, by having good employment in cutting coin for that purpose.
The damage done to the towns of Kingston and Port-Royal, and to the shipping in those harbours, by the late most tremendous visitation, is computed, upon a moderate estimation, to amount to the enormous sum �800,000. sterling, without taking into the account the number of lives lost.
Extract of a letter from St.Maria, Jamaica, July 23 .
"We have been very much alarmed for two weeks past, on account of an intended insurrection of the negroes in this neighbourhood, which was fortunately discovered the day before it was to have taken place; the ringleader was burnt alive on Saturday last at Port-Maria, another negro was hanged, his body burnt, and his head fixed on the top of the boiling-house, and three more were severely flogged. This affair was discovered through the ringleader, who was a driver, being informed by the negro that was hanged that several negroes belonging to an estate adjoining to our's had agreed to join them, and he set out last week to look for them, when very fortunately meeting with two negroes of the estate, who were not in the plot, he discovered all his intentions to them, upon which they immediately seized him. It is said those two negroes will have their freedom, and annuities for their lives. We are still very uneasy, fearing it may yet break out, as we have great reason to believe that the negroes upon many estates were concerned."
A letter from Ashbourn, in the Peak of Derbyshire, mentions, that as some men were digging at a place called Barton-wood, about four miles from that place, they found an urn, containing about seventy Roman coins and medals, chiefly those of Adrian, Severus, and the younger Constantine; they were found within the boundaries of a spacious Roman Camp, which the country people pretend has once been a large town.
Thursday the Rev. Joseph Chapman, D.D. and President of Trinity-College, was elected Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford for the ensuing year, in the room of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Dennis.
A circumstance of a most singular nature was last week brought to public view at the quarter-sessions held at Kingston, for the county of Surrey. A select party of gentlemen and ladies, amongst whom were a pair of Benedicts and their spouses, some little time since paid a visit to a certain town in the county, and as they proposed spending the evening, and taking up their abode all night at the inn at which they had put up, it was necessary to secure beds. It so happened that the company could not be accommodated without making use of a two-bedded room, and in this room the married gentlemen and ladies agreed to repose themselves. After a joyous supper the glass flew merrily round, and the ladies withdrew to their apartment with the door unlocked, no doubt in expectation of their beloved partners. The gentlemen kept it up, and whilst they were quaffing and carousing, one of the company, a wag of the first class, no doubt on't, took an opportunity to slip into the ladies room, who had resigned themselves into the arms of sleep, and very dexterously interchanged the wearing apparel from one of the beds to the other. The gentlemen, upon their approach to their respective beds, each of them seeing his wife's habiliments, and being unwilling to disturb her, immediately jumped into bed; and in this situation they actually continued all night; and it was not until the usual time of getting up in the morning that the mistake was discovered. The confusion that ensued is infinitely easier to be conceived than described. The ladies were transfused into blushes, and the gentlemen had no other resource but the brandy bottle, whilst the wag had decamped, and the rest of the company, the family, and attendants were seen laughing and tittering in every sly corner of the house. In order to obtain some revenge for this most extraordinary trick, a bill of indictment was preferred against the party for a misdemeanor : but here again fortune favoured this blade of refined fun and humour; for the Grand Jury threw out the bill.
The Banker's Clerk, who is now under confinement, was not employed in the cash department of the house; he got access to the sum he took in the following manner: A nobleman who keeps his cash in the house going into the country last spring, sent his plate to the banker's, which was put in the room where the money-chests are deposited. Upon the Nobleman's family returning to town, he sent for his plate, and this unhappy man was appointed to attend the delivery. During his stay in the room he observed that one of the money-chests was left open; the temptation was too strong for his sense of honesty ; he took out a bag containing �1000. which he conveyed to his lodging; with this he purchased stock in his own name to the amount of what it might be supposed he could have saved since he was employed as clerk; the remainder he purchased in the name of another person, except about �100. which he gave to a lady, for exonerating him from an engagement he made to marry her. For a considerable time before the discovery he was known to carry pistols about him; and being asked the reason by his brother clerks, he said, that he slept every night in the country, and was determined never to go unprepared, as he was resolved not to be robbed. He is not above 25 years of age, and of a genteel family in Durham.
Thursday September the 30th, three men came down from town to the sign of the Fleece near Maidenhead, Berks, who returned the same night; next morning Mr. Wiltshire's waggon in the yard was found to have been robbed, and on searching the hedges of an adjoining farm, the goods were found, carefully concealed. Persons were employed to watch, and at eight o'clock on Sunday night a one-horse chaise drove to the places with two men in it, one of whom said, "Here we left the things, now let us take them." They were suffered to do, and when they had taken possession of the goods, the persons employed to watch immediately seized them; a conflict ensued, but the thieves submitted : upon being brought before Pennyston Powney, Esq. they were committed to Reading gaol. Their names are Blackman, and Barnsley, alias Barns; the latter was sentenced to the lighters in 1781, and has been some time released. The former had a loaded pistol, marked T. Pocock on the lock.
Extract of a letter from Stirling, Sept. 24.
"The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here on Wednesday the 22d curt. by the Right Hon. Lord Kennet, and Lord Braxfield. The same day the Court proceeded to the trial of Sarah Cameron, accused at the instance of his Majesty's Advocate of the crime of throwing her own infant child, of six months old, over the bridge of Stirling, and thereby drowning him in the river. The jury, after hearing the proof, returned their verdict, finding her guilty. She received sentence this day to be hanged at Stirling on Friday the 10th day of October, and her body thereafter to be delivered to a surgeon to be disected."
[Sir George Mackenzie pleading in a case of this kind some years ago in Scotland, concluded his charge to the jury in the following masterly manner; "Gentlemen, if one man had any how slain another; if an adversary had killed his opponent, or a woman had occasioned the death of her enemy, these criminals would have been capitally punished by the Cornelian Law: But if this guiltless infant, 'who could not make an enemy, had been killed by its nurse, what punishment would not then the mother have demanded ? With what cries and exclamations would she have stunned your ears? What shall we say, then, when a woman, guilty of homicide, a mother, of the murder of her innocent child, hath comprised all there misdeeds in one single crime? a crime in its own nature detestable; in a woman prodigious; in a mother incredible, and perpetrated against one whose infancy called for compassion, whose near relationship claimed affection, and whose innocence deserved the highest favour ?

THE people in the Southern States of North America are laying many of their principal settlements into vintage, which have so promising an appearance, that they bid fair, in the course of half a century, to rival Italy, Portugal, and France in the article of wine.
LONDON, THURSDAY, October 14.
According to letters received by the last mail from Lisbon, the finishing hand has been put to the treaty between the Portuguese and the Government of the United States of America, by virtue of which the American and Portuguese vessels are to be entirely exempted from an the extra port duties in the harbours of each other. The Americans are freely to use and trade to all the Portuguese settlements in Asia and South America, where they are to pay the accustomed duties; the ships of each nation are to salute the flag of each other reciprocally. An American Consul is to reside at Lisbon; another at Oporto; and they are to have an agent in the Brazils and at Goa. The Portuguese are to have a Consul in America (to chuse their port) and agents in two other of the principal cities. Persons in public character are to be treated with the usual respect, and the Americans are to establish a factory at pleasure.
A letter from Mr. Jasper Atkins, jun. dated Ostend, October 9, says, "This instant we have an account, that the vessel which sailed down the Scheldt from Antwerp, a few days ago, was fired upon three times by the Dutch men of war, after which the Captain struck his colours, and surrendered himself."
A new edict is issued by the French Court, forbidding all seaman discharged from the several ships of war, entering into the service of any foreign powers.
The French, to rivet the Americans to their interested views, have opened free ports in France, and are now contriving to do the same at St. Lucia or Tobago, to prevent the British sugar islands from carrying on any trade with America and the Spanish main.

It is impossible to compute the number of vessels made use of for carrying on this trade; but they are from thirty to three hundred tons burthen ; mounted from six to twenty four guns; and navigated by crews from twelve to one hundred men: the largest make seven or eight voyages in a year, and can bring in one freight three thousand half ankers of spirits, and ten or twelve tons of tea, besides many other valuable articles.
Extract of a Letter from Canterbury, Oct. 9.
"Very little done this season at the hop-market in this city, as the planters are not satisfied with the present prices; a great many samples have been shewn, but few sold. The picking finished this week, and the different qualities of the hops were seldom known to be greater than this year. The produce, from the best calculations that can be made, is something less than 700 an acre, and the prices of what have been sold are as under, viz. bags 85 to 88 to 96, few very fine 100. Pockets 95 to 105, very fine sample 108."
The critics have contended, that even Pope was not equal to a good epitaph. So that Good-man Grose may be a clever fellow, and yet be puzzled to say handsome things gracefully of his deceased friend, the singular Mr. Russel !

On Tuesday last, at two o'clock in the afternoon, was launched from the garden of -- Wilson, Esq. at Chelsea, for the amusement of his friends, a curious balloon, which had sixteen beautiful variegated stripes, made of paper, and filled with rarified air, twelve feet diameter; and to try the experiment, it took up a large white Pomeranian dog, fastened on a Carr. About four o'clock the same afternoon it was taken up by a labourer in a vale near Epping, in Essex, about eighteen miles distance, and was brought back the next morning for the reward of one guinea, paid by the gentleman. The dog was in perfect safety.

The mode of committing robberies on the highways at present, is not on horseback, but on foot, two or three in a gang. One holds the horses, boots, and great coats, in a neighbouring field, while the other two stop and rob the passengers. Then they go to this field, draw on their boots and great coats, get out into the road, and if there he any hue and cry, they join in pursuit of themselves. This mode has been adopted lately about London.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal.
SIR,
I AM sorry that one of the Committee should think my letter implied the least reflection on the Meeting at Bristol; so far was it from my intention, that I ever viewed it in the most respectful light, and as a prelude to very great advantages which the manufacturers would derive from uniting in the common cause ; but on public business I thought every individual had a right to give his opinion, without its being considered as a reflection on those who are of different sentiments; for was it to be taken in that point of view, it would effectually shut the door of enquiry, stop all the channels of information, and be attended with very unfriendly consequences to society.
The indirect lethargic contrast between the manufacturers of the West, and our RIVALS of the North, I can by no means approve of: I wish to pay them every compliment their ingenuity deserves, but I trust they will never merit so high an encomium as that of Rivals; for when they do, there must be a lethargy indeed.
So far from wishing to draw off the attention of the manufacturers from their present enquiry, I shall be happy to render any service in my power, and till that is finished, decline saying any thing more on the present subject.
I am Sir, your humble servant.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, Oct 16.
His Majesty has had a dangerous fall from his horse in hunting; but we have the happiness to inform the public, that he received but a slight contusion on the brow.
The accounts received by yesterday's mail from Flanders, relative to the affair in the Scheldt, are exceedingly inconclusive. The Ostend letters mention, that ships have passed up that river without any interruption whatever from the Dutch; while those of Middleburgh speak of the Dutch Admiral in the Scheldt having done his duty by stopping two vessels which refused to pay the usual toll, and were sailing up without any salute of the Dutch flag. If this last account prove true, which is much to be doubted, hostilities are already commenced, and a rupture must ensue.
The Dutch, in mitigation of the dishonour offered to the Emperor's flag, by firing at his vessel, pretend that orders had been sent to Admiral Reynst to prevent any thing of that sort; but that those orders unluckily arrived two hours too late.
Teas are now selling at the India-house at a very moderate price; but, in order to give the finishing stroke to illicit traders, the ports will certainly be opened by Parliament for the importation of foreign teas.

This day, about twelve o'clock, Messrs. Blanchard and Sheldon set out on their Aerial Journey from Little Chelsea, when Mr. Blanchard, after performing a few manoeuvres, directed their flight towards Windsor with such rapidity, that they where out of sight in a few minutes.- A gentleman who followed them about eight miles, saw them pass over the town of Kingston.
On Monday last Mr. Tytler made another attempt to ascend in the Edinburgh grand fire balloon; but on its being inflated, and loosed from the mast, it was found that it's force of ascension could scarcely support itself, much less carry up Mr. Tytler, who was thereupon obliged to quit his seat, and the balloon, after rising about 100 yards, fell to the ground, to the great disappointment and chagrin of a vast multitude of spectators.
A few days since two brothers in the service of Mess. Beaufoy and Co. distillers, at Lambeth, sustained on their backs, and walked some paces therewith, the enormous weight of a ton, one carrying eleven, and the other nine hundred. This feat of strength was performed for a small wager with their fellow work men; and to prevent any accident, the loads were slung from a crane, so that to free themselves from the pressure of the burthen, they had only to stoop two or three inches.

POOLE, Oct. 15. Monday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, a large aerostatic globe was observed at Litchett, about six miles from this place, coming with great rapidity from the Eastward; it descended so low as to touch the top of a farm-house, on the roof of which some pidgeons were sunning themselves, when a cat, which was suspended from the bottom of it, whose aerial tour it is supposed had created an appetite, seized one of them in her talons, and a fresh breeze just then springing up at N.E. the globe mounted again, and puss bore away her prize triumphantly; but whether she wanted a meal, or a travelling companion only, is not yet known, as we have not heard of the decent of the balloon in this neighbourhood.

Thursday afternoon died, of a putrid fever, Mr. Biggs, Keeper of the County Gaol at Fisherton: He was a very honest, worthy man, and executed his office with great fidelity to the county, and with that humanity and kindness to the unhappy objects of his care, as must render his death most deservedly lamented.
The candidates for the vacant office of Keeper of the County Prison are, Mr. James Easton, Mr. James Whitmarsh, Mr. Matthew Hibberd, Mr. Edm. Lush, and Mr. Joseph Hayter, all of this city.
Weyhill Fair has not been more numerously and gayly attended by the sons and daughters of business and pleasure, since its first establishment, than this year.- Every body pleased and satisfied.-Those who sought the hill for trade, had more than they could execute ; - and if beautiful women, fine weather, festivity, and variety have charms, the mirthful throng were not disappointed in their warmest hopes of entertainment.- There was a great shew of hops at this fair, and many of them very good; but as the dealers stuck to their prices, from �7. to �7. 10s. per cwt. little business was done till Tuesday; on that day they relaxed, and the sale was very brisk; best hops selling from �61. to �6. 10s. good common hops from �5. to �5 [.....] and very few that were good remained undisposed of.- There was a very great shew of horses, but the sale was dull, and many were unsold.- The dealers were, as may be supposed, not a little liberal of their execrations upon the horse licences, and the young Financier. - The light-fingered gentry were not so numerous at this fair as usual, though a farmer was relieved of the care of 40 guineas, whilst he was paying his respects to Mr. Punch and family at a puppet shew.
It is with real concern we inform our readers that this fair concluded on Friday night with an event no less dreadful than unexpected; for about half past nine o'clock a large fire having been made with refuse hurdles, in the chimney of the White-Hart booth, kept by Mr. Barham of Stockbridge, the flames caught the roof, which was thatched, and in a few minutes the whole building and its contents were on fire: the flames almost instantly spread to the east and west, and in less than two hours reduced to ashes nearly the whole of the New Farnham Row, also to the number of nine booths up the fair; 540 feet of standing were burnt, and more than 300 bags of Farnham hops, also various goods and furniture, the property of people who kept the fair. The loss is not yet estimated, though it must amount to several thousand pounds. The fire was stopt by communication being cut off, and the amazing alacrity and spirit of the people. The wind was at first rather brisk, but providentially sunk soon after, else, as the fire was become so vast a body, that not even a plentiful supply of water (had there been any) could have prevented its ravages, every thing upon the hill must have fallen a sacrifice . Such was the intenseness of the fire, that for some time it could not be approached within more than twenty yards, and flakes thereof fell as far distant as Fifield. The Crandall Hop Row escaped unhurt. There is no reason to suppose this fire was designed, as was reported on Saturday.
For politeness and innocent mirth, few towns in the west of England can vie with Andover.- At the balls there on Monday and Wednesday there was a very numerous and polite assemblage, particularly many persons of distinction, and most of the genteel families in the neighbourhood. - Minuets were danced each night, and the country dances were kept up with great spirit till two in the morning. Sixty couple stood up on Monday, and about forty on Wednesday evening.- A large subscription is already raised for the support of the winter assemblies, which, from the happy specimens presented last week, when beauty, good humour, elegance of dress, and decorum, were most conspicuous, will be doubtless continued with great eclat.
Sunday morning the 10th inst. a fire broke out at Martin's town, a village about two miles from Dorchester, which in a short space of time consumed seven dwelling-houses, besides out-houses, and a quantity of wheat and other grain.- A child in bed at the house where it began was terribly burnt in one of its legs, which was obliged to be amputated.
Tuesday, between twelve and one at noon, a gentleman was robbed on Thorney Down, near this city, of three guineas, by two highwaymen, extremely well mounted, one on an iron-grey horse, and both handsomely dressed. They refused the gentleman's watch, and also some silver, and decoyed him to a bye place, under the pretence of finding a hare, which they said was sitting there.- They threatened to shoot his horse if pursued, and got clear off, though there were many people in sight.
Thomas Harper, an aged and decayed silk-dyer, of this city, was found on Monday morning lying on the edge of a lime kiln, in the parish of Milford, quite dead, and presenting a most dismal spectacle, the fire having consumed part of his left leg and thigh to a cinder, and also greatly scorched his body.- On the Coroner's Inquest it appeared, that the deceased, having no place of abode in Salisbury, had accustomed himself to retire to sleep by the side of this kiln, where it is supposed he was suffocated by the fumes, and had, perhaps, in the agonies of death, brought himself within reach of the fire.- Verdict of the Jury "accidental death."
A waggon laden with household goods, and having a man, two women, and two children on the top, was overturned at Handley, Dorset, on Monday last, whereby one of the women was unhappily killed on the spot, her skull being beat in, and an arm and leg broken.- The goods were mostly beat to pieces, but the rest of the passengers providentially escaped unhurt.
Were the contents of the letter signed "A consequent Sufferer" ever so proper to be laid before the public, its length must prevent an immediate insertion.- This letter contains by implication heavy charges upon respectable Executors, and as the law provides a remedy for the aggrieved, it would be highly unjust in the Printer to arraign their conduct, but particularly so when the accuser is masked under a fictitious signature.- As to the letter being sent to another Paper, we can only say, that no respectable Printer will insert it, if he reasons justly, without the Writer's real name and address.
EPIGRAM on some young LADIES wearing GARTERS, inscribed with the Name of the aspiring Mr. LUNARDI.
WHEN Lunardi, unpinion'd, first soar'd to the skies.
Huzza'd by the foolish, admir'd by the wise,
The Ladies all gaz'd with amazement and fear,
And from many bright eyes dropt the pitying tear;
The pitying tear he had when on high,
And from every fair bosom the heart-heaving sigh.
Now, clasping the thigh of each beautiful Miss,
He has soar'd within sight of the regions of bliss.
Alas! should he lose his inflammable air,
The fears would return of each languishing fair,
Who hope he will rise like the Lark or the Dove,
His affections still set on the good things above.

A SURGEON of C------ having accepted the Office of CHURCHWARDEN, caused the Graves in the Church-Yard to be made level with the Surface of the Ground, to the great Disgust of the Parishioners, which occasioned the following lines :
INVER TO * BOSWELL's GHOST.
IN vain his drugs we took our lives to save,
In vain we hope for refuge in the grave;
Deep in the earth in vain we buried were,
The Doctor's influence reaches even here;
For when the whimsy pops into his head,
The grave becomes no shelter for the dead;
The sacred turf he renders flat and plain,
Those very bones he set - he breaks again.
The ghost thus mutter'd, and condemn'd such works,
And wish'd his bones interr'd amongst the Turks.
Peace, cries a scull, that lay against the wall,
Should he but hear, he'll 'natomise us all.
* A King of the Gipseys, who was buried in C------ Churchyard.
OBSERVATION on the LIBERTY OF THE PRESS, by the celebrated Mr. HUME.
IT is sufficiently known, that arbitrary power would steal in upon us were we not extremely watchful to prevent its progress, and were there not an easy method of conveying the alarum from one end of the kingdom to the other. The spirit of the people must frequently be roused in order to curb the ambition of the Court; and the dread of rousing this spirit, must be employed to prevent that ambition. Nothing so effectual to this purpose as the liberty of the press, by which all the learning, wit, and genius of the nation, may be employed on the side of liberty, and every one be animated to its defence. As long, therefore, as the republican part of our government can maintain itself against the monarchical, it must be extremely jealous of the liberty of the press, as of the utmost importance to its preservation.
It is a very comfortable reflection to the lovers of liberty, that this peculiar privilege of Britain is of a kind that cannot easily be wrested from us, but must Iast as long as our government remains in any degree free and independent. It is seldom, that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. Slavery has so frightful an aspect to men accustomed to freedom, that it must steal upon them by degrees, and must disguise itself in a thousand shapes, in order to be received. But, if the liberty of the press ever be lost, it must be lost at once. The general laws against sedition and libelling are at present as strong as they can possibly be made. Nothing can impose a farther restraint, but either the clapping of an imprimatur upon the press, or the giving to the Court very large discretionary powers to punish whatever displeases them. But these concessions would be such a barefaced violation of liberty, that they will probably be the last effort of a despotic government. We may conclude, that the liberty of Britain is gone for ever when there attempts shall succeed.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal.
SIR,
I Have always understood, that the right of killing game is the prerogative of the King, and that no property whatever gives, a subject a right to kill it; if so, what compulsion is there in the late act of Parliament, for persons possessed of property sufficient to exempt them from the penalties inflicted by some of the game laws, to take out a certificate from the Clerk of the Peace ! For in reality, they are not persons qualified in respect to property to kill game, (which are the words of the act) but are only persons who in respect of property are exempted from certain penalties mentioned in the acts of Parliament made for the preservation of the game.
If any of your correspondents will answer this question, they will oblige a constant reader, and a sportsman who has taken out no certificate, on a presumption that no person besides a game-keeper is within the description of the act of Parliament.
If the objection is well founded, this being made public may be a means of the act being made more correct in future; and I presume there are few sportsmen who have not already taken out their certificates for the present year, so that the insertion hereof can be no public evil.
Your's,
A CORRESPONDENT.

For the SALISBURY and WINCHESTER JOURNAL.
THE will of Mr. Justice Russell (vide 1st page of our last Journal) has something very singular in it: for though the testator died a bachelor, there are few instances of this kind where such signal proofs are to be found of friendship and generosity to the fair sex.
"He gave it all, but first he died."
The donations to so many young women at his funeral shews an attachment to the ladies very uncommon and whimsical. We are sorry to see all this overshadowed with a most intolerable piece of vanity, in leaving �2000 for his monument, and �100. more for an epitaph. The marble, hard as it is, must blush for him. Two words are epitaph enough for any old Bachelor; they should be these, taken from the Stock list, when the books are shut, and every woman will allow them to be sufficient.
"Nothing done !"

At one extremity is a rivulet, which swells to a considerable head in the rainy season. About 13 or 14 acres is coppice ground, the rest chiefly arable, with some pasture.

WHITEHALL, July 23, 1784.
WHEREAS it has been humbly represented to the King, that on Thursday the 15th instant a most considerable quantity of TEA and foreign SPIRITS was run on shore near Christchurch, within the limits of the port of Southampton, from two large lug sail vessels, by a numerous gang of Smugglers; in defiance of the laws of the Revenue, and in opposition to the Officers of his Majesty's Customs employed in the execution thereof, who, notwithstanding their utmost endeavours, were unable to resist so large a body of desperate and armed men.
That upon information being received that the said two smuggling vessels had taken shelter in Christchurch Harbour, an attempt was made on the evening of the said 15th instant, by the officers and crew of his Majesty's sloop of war the Orestes, in conjunction with the officers of the Swan cutter, in the service of the Customs, and of a cutter in the service of the Excise, in their respective boats, manned and armed, to seize and take possession of the said smuggling vessels.
That in the execution of this service they were most violently and forcibly resisted by a large body of smugglers, armed with fire arms and other offensive weapons, who were assembled on board the said vessels, and on shore, for that purpose, and who fired upon the officers, and killed Mr. William Allen, the Master of the said sloop of war the Orestes, (who by virtue of a commission from the Board of Customs was likewise an officer of that revenue) and also dangerously wounded one of the boat's crew.
That the officers however resolutely persevered in the execution of their duty, boarded and seized both the said smuggling vessels, and after having taken possession thereof, carried them into the port of Cowes; but that the persons concerned in this atrocious outrage and murder made their escape.
His Majesty, for the better discovering and bringing to justice the persons concerned therein, is hereby pleased to promise his most gracious pardon to anyone of the said offenders (except the person who actually fired and killed the said Mr. Allen) who shall discover his accomplices, so that two or more of them may be apprehended and convicted of the said offence.
SYDNEY.
Custom-house, London, July 23, 1784.
AND as a farther encouragement, the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs do hereby offer a reward of TWO HUNDRED POUNDS to any person or persons who shall discover and apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, any two or more of the said offenders, to be paid by the Receiver-General of his Majesty's Customs upon conviction.
And if anyone of the said offenders shall, within three months from the date hereof, discover his accomplices, so that two of them at least be apprehended and convicted of the said offence, the offender making such discovery shall be entitled to the like rewards.
By order of the Commissioners,

John Middleton, Black Lead Pencil-maker,
Of VINE-STREET, PICCADILLY, LONDON,
HAVING carried on the said branch of Pencil-making for upwards of thirty years with credit and reputation, as is well known by the public at large, - finding not only himself, but many Gentlemen and Shopkeepers much imposed on by a set of designing men, who not only counterfeit his name, but give out that he is dead, or that he has left off business: This is therefore to inform Merchants and Shopkeepers, that I continue to make all sorts of Black Lead, Red and White Chalk Pencils.
All the Pencils that I warrant are marked with my name,
JOHN MIDDLETON.
To be had of all the booksellers and principal shopkeepers in the kingdom; particularly of Messrs. Collins and Johnson, booksellers, Salisbury; Robbins and Gilmour, booksellers, Winchester; and the newsmen.

WHEREAS the lands of the respective proprietors of the said open and common fields of the said parish of Westbury, and also of the common meadows of Westbury aforesaid, lie intermixed and dispersed in small parcels, and being occupied in tenantry, are, in their present situation, incapable of any considerable improvement; and whereas some part of the downs belonging to the said parish and hundred of Westbury are also open and occupied in tenantry, and it would be for the advantage of the proprietors of the said fields and downs if the same were divided, and specific shares allotted to them in severalty, discharged of all right of common of pasture thereon.
And whereas the commons called Heywood Common, Hawkeridge Common, Brook Common, Leigh Marsh Common, and other waste lands and commons, within the said parish and hundred, are, in their present situation, of little value to those persons who have a right thereon, but might be greatly improved by being divided, allotted, and inclosed.
