LONDON, July 28.

Letters of the 22d instant from the Dutch coast, mention that a serious fracas took place at Rotterdam, on Friday last, in consequence of the Government compelling about 150 Conscripts to march for the army. They were the senior boys taken from the charity schools. Being excessively averse to proceed, they were tied together and dragged along by a number of gens d'armes, when the people interfered, and a general affray took place, during which about half of the Conscripts effected their escape.
General Dupont, and the next to him in command, who signed or assented to the capitulation of Baylen, have been for some time confined at Vincinnes.
Colonel Chalmers, commanding the subsidiary force at Quilon, in Travancore, and who in December last defeated the troops of the Rajah of that country, has appointed Lieut. Dole, of the 22d regiment of Native Infantry (son of J.H. Cole, Esq, of Norwich) to be Commissary of grain and provisions in that district.
Several chests, containing silks, jewels, and other valuable commodities, brought home in the Culloden, have been seized by the officers of Excise at Plymouth; but whether for payment of the duties, or as contraband, the rank of the party to whom they were consigned precludes us from mentioning.
Wednesday the Annual Wool Fair was held at Dorchester, Oxon, and was well attended; nearly 800 growers and buyers sat down to an excellent collation in Mr. Davy's large barn, Earl Macclesfield in the chair; after the cloth was removed, the Earl addressed the company on the state of the wool markets, and the prospect of the great advantages likely to accrue from this establishment. Many constitutional and other toasts were drank. The company then adjourned to another barn of Mr. Davy's, when the sale commenced; and a considerable quantity was sold at prices somewhat lower than Iast year : Leicester 38s.� per tod and upwards; Berkshire, from 35s. to 40s. South-Down from three guineas to �3. 10s.
A beautiful male tyger, a tyger-cat, several sheep from the Cape of Good Hope, a land and sea tortoise, together with many other Oriental quadrupedes, brought home by Sir Edward Pellew, were landed on Thursday, at the Custom-house Quay, at Plymouth.
The skeleton of a mammoth, in high preservation (being the second), was lately found on the coast of the White Sea, at the mouth of the river Tana.
At one o'clock on Wednesday morning, after a very sultry day and night, a sudden torrent of rain came on, accompanied by thunder and much vivid lightning.
Last Saturday, a young Lady of an independent fortune of �20,000. left by an aunt, daughter of an eminent merchant near Broad-street, eloped with her father's footman. They immediately set off for Gretna Green, in a post-chaise and four, in order to be married, but were missed in about two hours after their departure, and were pursued and overtaken at an inn in Huntingdon, just as they were about to proceed on their journey.
On Saturday se'nnight, Jacob Humphreys, the Parish Clerk of Welch Poole, was found dead in his bed. to which he went the over night in perfect health.- It is a singular circumstance of this family, that they have been appointed to, and discharged the duties of Parish Clerk of that parish, for more than 300 years last past, and that every one of them, so officiating, has been of the names of Jacob Humphreys, and that Jacob Humphreys, the son of the last deceased, who is a serjeant in the Montgomeryshire Militia, is now on his journey to that town, with well-formed hopes of succeeding his late father in that office.
Saturday, at the Union-street Office, an elderly man, who has long laid the inhabitants of the Borough under contribution by the general wretchedness of his appearance, underwent an examination as an impostor. On being stripped, it was found that the discoloured bandages, which were artfully disposed round his legs, concealed no wounds, and that his right arm, which he pretended to have lost the use of, was entirely free from malady. In his waistcoat fourteen guineas, the fruits of mendicity, were found sewed up The Magistrate gave him his choice, to go on board the tender, or be committed to prison as a vagrant; he chose the latter, with expression of gratitude, and was immediately conveyed to his destination.

COURT-MARTIAL ON LORD GAMBIER.

Wednesday morning commenced, on board the Gladiator, in Portsmouth harbour, the trial of Admiral, the Right Hon. Lord Gambier.
After the Court was sworn, several documents were read; among them was a more copious detail than that originally inserted in the Gazette, of the proceedings in Basque Roads, in a letter from Ld Gambier to the Hon. W. Pole, dated London, May 16th, 1809; also the letter from Mr. Pole to Lord Cochrane, requiring the grounds of his Lordship's objection to the vote of thanks to Lord Gambier, and Lord Cochrane's answer to Mr. Pole, referring the Lord Commissioners to the log and signal books. Lord Gambier's application for a Court Martial was also read, after which the various orders which Lord Gambier received from the Admiralty, while Commander of the Channel fleet were read. Several Masters of the ships employed, were then examined as to their log-books, &c. after which Lord Cochrane was called, and examined at very great length, which, with the examination of a few other officers, on Friday closed the evidence for the prosecution. Lord Gambier is to enter on his defence on Monday next, to which time the Court adjourned for that purpose.

MANCHESTER, JULY 22.
COMBINATION.

At our Quarter Sessions, in April last, a case of considerable importance to hat manufacturers and others, who employ a number of workmen, came before the Court. It was a prosecution at the instance of Messrs. Thomas Philips and Co. against a hat-finisher, of the name of Buckley, for assaulting one of their workmen, for having engaged to instruct their apprentices to finish hats, and for refusing to unite with Buckley and others. in a combination, under the denomination of Flints, to prevent Messrs. Thomas Philips and Co. from taking apprentices.
The case being made out to the satisfaction of a crowded Court, the Defendant was sentenced to three months imprisonment in Lancaster Castle.
In the course of the cause, Mr Scarlett made a most eloquent and impressive speech, shewing the evil tendency of combinations of all descriptions.
The Court much approved the conduct of the Prosecutors, and declared they would, at all time protect the honest and industrious workmen from injury and insult, and strongly condemned the combination of servants in general against their masters.
On Wednesday last, at our Quarter Sessions, an appeal was heard upon a conviction against John. Dalton and Joseph Midgley, journeymen hatters, at Oldham, for having entered into a combination to prevent Messrs. Henshaw, Barker, and Co. from employing one Elizabeth Johnson.
It appeared that many of the workmen had conspired together, to prevent the manufacturers from employing women in their works, and that they had entered into rules to carry their wishes into execution.
The Court confirmed the convictions, and the Prisoners were committed to hard labour, in the New Bailey Prison, for two months; and also until they paid �21 the costs incurred; as authorised by the Act of Parliament.
There was also another prosecution against Alexander Stockdale, for having, with several other journeymen, entered into a similar combination against Messrs. Mellor, Gee, and Kershaw, of Oldham.
The Counsel for the prosecution stated; that it was not the wish of the master manufacturers to press for the conviction of more journeymen, as they hoped a sufficient example would be made by the punishment of the former two (example being their only object); and they trusted that their lenity would have a proper effect upon all journeymen hatters, who had formed such a combination, particularly against women being employed; but. should it hereafter appear that the journeymen attended their illegal meetings, or otherwise conducted themselves as they had lately done, they would all be prosecuted with the utmost severity.
The Court remarked strongly against the illegal proceedings of the men, and .hoped the great mildness which the hat manufacturers had shewn to the journeymen, in not pressing further prosecutions, would induce them to be subordinate to their employers, and dissolve their meetings, which would certainly be ruinous to themselves; and, in future the journeymen found guilty of these combinations, would meet with a more severe punishment.




LEWES, JULY 31, 1809.

The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to appoint Francis Harding Geil, of East Bourne, gentleman, to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery.

Our Wool Fair, held on Wednesday, was fully attended, at dinner, several rooms were full of company, and soon after they had dined, they assembled in the principal room. Lord Sheffield, who always presides, then rose and said "I have collected from a very extensive correspondence, a statement respecting the manufacture and prices of wool, which I conceive it may be proper to communicate to the meeting. It is well known that since I had the pleasure of meeting you last year, there has been great variation in the price of wool. Previously to that meeting, in consequence of the distrust which arose in respect of the American States, and the disordered state of the Continent, our manufactures suffered a depression, more considerable than at any former period of the war; and, assisted by much misrepresentation, the price of wool was kept down : but, towards winter, the price rose rapidly, and afterwards, to an extent never experienced before. I stated at our last Wool Fair, and in confident terms, that, there was no foundation for the supposition that the manufacture of the finest wools, (now principally under our consideration), were essentially prejudiced by the war, as the sale depends almost entirely on the home market, and comparatively little on the export to the continent of Europe; and I wish to bring to your recollection that, the home demand is the great support of all our manufactures. Little argument can be deduced from the extravagant prices of wool, during the greater part of last winter and spring. It was evidently occasioned by wool-dealers speculating on the scanty supply of Spanish wool, and on the article being in few hands : however, it is certain that, it will be very considerably better than it was last year. The American Non-Importation Act is at an end, several channels are found for our manufactures, and whatever was deficient in the demand for them, in preceding years, will be amply compensated by the future demand; for, they must be had somewhere, and the manufactures of the continent are certainly greatly reduced and prejudiced by revolution and war. The principal apprehension will be enabled to procure an adequate supply of the raw materials. Whatever check or decline takes place in the excellent manufactures of fine wool, in the west of England, do not arise entirely from the scarcity and high price of Spanish wool, but partly from high wages, which are likely to transfer the manufacture to the less luxurious manufactures of Yorkshire. It has been generally supposed that, the manufactures of woollens, in the West Riding, have been greatly hurt by the war, and especially last year, by the impolite measures of the American States, which were infinitely more injurious to themselves than they could possibly be to us, but, it appears that the manufacture of broad and narrow cloths, (the only branch of the trade of which a precise knowledge can be obtained), last year, amounted to 5,309,007 yards of narrow, and 9,050,970 yards of broad, a very little less than an average of the ten preceding years, which include some years of the greatest export. And, it should be observed that notwithstanding all the declamation we have heard on the ruin of our trade, the decline in the export of woollens, of all sorts, in the last year, compared with the preceding year is only �519, 282 official value. Last year, the importation of wool from Spain was only 1,961,750lbs and the importation, including all parts, only 2,353,725lbs. The preceding year, there was an extraordinary import of Spanish wool; every bale was dispatched from that country, in consequence of the impending ruin apprehended from the invasion of Buonaparte; and the aggregate imports into Great Britain amounted to 11,760,000lbs much more than an average importation. But, the average of the great and small importations in 1807 and 1808, is nearly equal to the average of the seven years preceding 1807, viz. 7,684,547lbs. If therefore, the importation this year, should not exceed the import of last year, the deficiency of 5,330,822lbs must be made up of the fine English wools. And, considering the state of Spain, Portugal, Saxony, and all countries, from which we receive wool, the importation this year will surely be still less than last year. Very much less than usual, as appears from the Custom-House entries, has been yet received this year. The supply must be very scanty, as the provinces from whence comes the great mass of the Spanish export of wool, and the principal ports, (Bilboa, &c.) from whence it was exported, are now in the hands of the French; and, even if they were not, all that part of Spain, especially, is in such a ruinous state, that the quantity of wool clipped this year, must be extremely diminished; and as to a supply from Saxony, none can be expected. The increased demand, therefore, for our manufactures, added to the very scanty supply of Spanish wool, must very considerably raise the intrinsic value of our fine wools, which, it is well known, are very greatly improved within a few years; and the coat which I now wear, shews that, South Down wool may be used as a very good substitute for Spanish; its appearance is equally good.- I have corresponded with every part of England, where there are considerable fairs for wool. At Hereford fair, 1st July, Ryeland wool sold at 3s. 4 1/2d. and was supposed to be undersold; my correspondent observing that, his wool had been valued at 6s. 6d.* by a man in the trade; but, it should be remarked that, the Herefordshire wools are trinded, and cleansed of some of their impurities. It is added that, the sellers pleased with prices, higher than usual, had sold under the real value. Mr. George Wilbraham has this year sold his Delamere Forest wool for 3s. 4d. some had been sold as high as 3s. 6d. and one instance of 3s. 6 3/4d. there are parts in the Delemere forest fleeces, finer than the South Down; but, the latter are more even, so that little difference is made in the price. Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, who is well known to you as the distinguished friend of the agriculture and trade of the country, in his account of Thetford fair, 15th July, says that, there was a great attendance of growers, but little or no business done; that 2s. 8 1/2d. was generally offered for the Down wool; that some was sold at 2s. 10 1/2d. and that, there was no doubt that 3s. will be generally given for the best. I have since learned that a considerable quantity of South Down was afterwards sold at that price. Letters from Suffolk mention that, less than 80s. per tod of 28lbs which is about 2s. 10 1/4d. per lb. for South Down wool has been refused. Mr. Western of Essex, who is also well known to many of you, as a most competent judge and perfectly well informed, says that, no business was done at Colchester fair, 17th July; that, one lot of a middling quality has been sold for 2s. 6d. but that, the growers of the best wools will not take less than �4. per tod of 28lbs or 2s. 10 1/4d. per lb. Mr. Western sold his wool last year, in Ireland, as 3s. and his lambs wool at 1s. 9d his factor says, it will sell for 3s. 6d. this year. Even the common wool, in the Wold of Sussex, has been sold at 2s. 6d. and Mr. Collins, of Brenchley, Kent, has refused the same price for his wool, a mixture of Romney Marsh and South Down; and I know of several instances, in this country and out of it, where 3s. for South Down have been refused. I have not so detailed an account of Mr. Tollett's wool as usual, but I learn from him that, he has sold to the same persons who have bought his wool for several years, 843 fleeces, of which 120 were pure Merino, and the remainder mixed Merino, for �878 10s. which is 20s. 8d. per fleece. I have exerted the fullest inquiry to obtain correct opinion of the value of wool this year; and after a due examination, of a very extensive correspondence, the opinion I collect from it, is that, 3s. appear to be a fair price for our finest wools, and so proportionally for wools of inferior quality; and I think it is sufficient, because it is fully equal to 4s. when washed and brought the state of Spanish. We should not appreciate our wool, by the very contracted supply this year, but rather restrict ourselves to its intrinsic value. That value, I do not hesitate to say, the grower of fine wool has scarcely ever yet obtained. Hitherto, it has been a depreciated commodity; it has seldom found an open market; and the woolstaplers have never evinced a proper degree of discrimination in respect to quality. But, an advanced price has prompted, and will always secure, a greater degree of cases and attention to the quality of the fleece, rather than the quantity; and unless we can obtain a better price then heretofore, the weight of the fleece will be the principal object of the grower. This is a crisis in the wool trade of Britain; and by not exacting exorbitant prices, the manufacturers will be induced to use British fine wools in the place of Spanish. If the present extravagant price of Spanish wool should induce the manufacture of British fine wools, the prejudices of the country, in favour of Spanish, would soon be done away, and save nearly three million sterling to this country; for nothing is more clearly demonstrated than that the wool may be raised in England, equal in quality to any that is imported."
The candour of this statement seemed to be acknowledged from all parts of the room. Nevertheless, some of the buyers repeated the usual common place observations on the difficulties under which the trade laboured, and which were greatly exaggerated, even if applied to the state of it many months ago, but by no means corresponded with the present state of the trade. Indeed, they applied so little to the statement which had been made, that, Lord Sheffield offered, in answer, to read the report again, but some of them continued their vague assertions, that, all the warehouses in the kingdom were full of goods, that there was no demand or market for our manufactures, and that it was ridiculous to suppose that any man would pay such an extravagant price as 3s. per lb. Lord Sheffield replied that, the statement he had made was supported by authentic documents, Custom-house returns, and letters from the most respectable persons, in all parts of the kingdom, where the necessary and best information could be had. That expectation being very high in respect to price, he had mentioned 3s. which he knew had been refused by several, as a maximum for the finest wool, and that he knew that price had been given in several parts of England, for inferior wool; and that, he by no means meant to guide the opinion in respect to wool of inferior quality. It has seldom happened that much business has been done on the day of the fair; however, towards night, the buyers and sellers had much conversation together; the owners of the finest wool insisted on �5. per tod of 32lbs. or 3s. 1 1/2d. per lb. and there was little doubt of their obtaining at least 3s. per lb. A considerable quantity of the inferior wools was sold at 2s. 6d.
Lord Sheffield mentioned that, his tailor, who is also his woollen draper, and whose interest it was not to over-rate the quality, had valued the cloth of the coat he then wore, as worth 23s. Per yard.

The manufacture of the cloth, even at the present high prices amounted to6s.1 1/2d. per yd.
The wool, at 3s. per lb.7s.0d.
13s.1 1/2d.
Dying, if drab colour, at 3 1/2d. per lb.1s.1 3/4d.
A yard of drab cloth14s.3 1/2d.



If woaded to a dark blue, at 2s. per lb.2s.9d.
Manufacturing and wool13s.1 1/2d.
A yard of blue cloth15s.10 1/2d.



leaving at 28s.or even at 24s. per yard, a very sufficient profit to the manufacturer, draper, &c.

The annual Agricultural Meeting held here on Wednesday last, for awarding Prizes and Premiums to the Owners of the best Stock shewn, agreeably to the Articles of the Sussex Agricultural Society, was, as we predicted in our paper of last week, very fully attended; and the Stock exhibited for competition, exceeded, both in quality and quantity, that of any preceding year since the establishment of the Society. For particulars of the prizes, &c. we beg to refer our readers to the advertisement in the following column.
In addition to the several prizes awarded by the Judges to the successful candidates at the above meeting, a wager between Mr. Cripps, of Stanton, and Mr. Auger, of Eastbourne, which would produce the best bull, was decided in favour of Mr. Auger. - A sweepstakes between Sir J. Sebright, bart. of Beechwood Park, Herts, and Mr. Thomas Saxby, of Northcase, to produce the best, one, two, and three year old South Down rams, was determined in favour of Sir John Sebright, for the best of each age; and a wager between Mr. Cripps and Mr. Read Kemp, which produced the best boar, was decided in favour of Mr. Read Kemp.
Upwards of 160 agriculturalists and amateurs sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Star Inn; on the removal of the cloth many loyal and agricultural toasts were briskly circulated; after which the Judges returned to the field and awarded the prizes. The President, the Earl of EGREMONT, as usual, presented a brace of excellent fat bucks for the dinner. His Lordship's health was drank with three times three.

Our Races commenced on Thursday last, in the forenoon, with a match, the last half mile for 50gs, rode by Gentlemen.

The Town Plate of �50 for all ages, after dinner, was not run for, for want of sufficient number of horses, not less than three being allowed to start, and two only had been entered.

Saturday, July 29.
MATCH.
For 50gs last Half Mile.
Mr. Craven's Dragsman, 9st. beat Mr. Webster's Swing-bar, 5st.

This Race was productive of a bad accident, owing to the jockies having started themselves without giving the regular, accustomed notice, and the course, in consequence, not being prepared for their coming in. The rider of Swingbarm just after passing the goal, came in contact with the pole of a gentleman's carriage, and by his dexterity would have escaped any material injury, had not his course been further obstructed by a saddle-horse, the collision of which dismounted him with great violence, and he was taken up apparently much hurt; but on examination it appeared, that no bones were broken; but the extent of the internal injury could not be ascertained. He was conveyed to Mr. Brown's, where we are glad to hear, he now lies without any alarming symptoms. The above untoward accident put an end to our Races, as no substitute could be found for the disables rider, whose light weight especially qualified him for all the remaining sport of the day.
Our Races have wonderfully fallen off this year, but as the same attracted the notice of the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Egremont, and Lord G. Cavendish, who all feel an interest in their respectability, we trust that they will, another year, resume their wonted consequence in the sporting world.
Saturday afternoon, some persons who had taken their meal in the Gypsy-stile, for fun, set fire to the furzes below the Race Course, and the flame being fanned by a brisk wind, soon spread to the extent of many rods, but hundred of persons being present, the fire was extinguished before it had done any material injury.
The race ball, on Friday, was very splendidly attended; and the Theatre, under the management of Messrs. Jonas and Penley, attracted numerous audiences on Thursday and Friday; and on Saturday patronized by the Stewards, the house was overflowing in every part. The play was the Honey Moon, in which Mr. W. Penley represented the Mock-Duke, with his accustomed excellence; and the performance altogether deserved and obtained the general plaudits of the audience. - This evening, THE SCHOOL OF REFORM and TEKELL .- See advertisement.

The Commission of Assize for this county will be opened here on Saturday next, before Lord Chief Justice Ellenborough, and the Chief Baron; but the business will not commence till nine o'clock on Monday. See the Sheriff's advertisement in first page.
Last Friday afternoon, a large ship, supposed to be an homeward bound West-Indiaman, was boarded and captured not a league and a half from the shore, off Beachy-head, by a French privateer, when a telegraphic communication was, in consequence, made from the Signal-house at Seaford, but not attended to until it had been occasionally repeated for four hours, when the Alphea Schooner made sail in pursuit, but with what success we have not been able to learn.
Since writing the above, we have heard that the captured ship was retaken by the Ant Schooner, and that the Captain, after landing a gentleman passenger at Seaford, weighed anchor, and went in quest of the privateer.

A foot race of Twenty Rods for Twenty Guineas, between Mr. George Payne, of East Grinsted, and Mr. Potter, of Horsham, will be decided on Friday next, at Danehill, in this country. Bets to a considerable amount are depending on the issue of this race.
A Mr. Diplock, a native of Mayfield, in this county, is now living in the neighbourhood of Rochester, with his FIFTH wife; and, we understand, the old gentleman is so completely UXORIOUS, that he would, if Providence should deprive him of his present rib, wish to try his fortune with a sixth !

MARRIED. On Saturday last, Mr. Henry Roscoria, of the Cliffe, to Miss Charlotte Hoey, of the same place.
DIED. On Tuesday last, aged 16, after only a few days previous indisposition, George Brook, the last remaining son of Mr. Arthur Brook, sadler, of this town, who had within a few years, lost EIGHT other children, and his wife.




BRIGHTON, JULY 31, 1809.

The PRINCE, we are pleased to hear, is expected at the Pavilion to celebrate his birth-day, on the 12th of August; but we are sorry to add, that his Royal Highness's stay will be short, as it is his intention to visit Oatlands, to be present at the Duke of York's birth0day on the 16th.

Our Races ended on Monday last, when the second and last year of a Renewal of the Sweepstake of 10gs each the last mile was won by

Lord Egremont's ch.c.1
The Duke of York's Brown Bess2

Sir. J. Shelley's ch.f. Fanny, 8st. 4lb, beat Lord Egremont's b.f. 8st. 4lb, a Match, the last three quarters of a mile, for 200gs.
Mr. Craven's g.g. Dragsman, 12st, beat Mr. Webster's b.g. Swingbar (rode by owners) the last half mile for 50gs.

The Plate of 100gs for horse of all ages, the new Course:-

Mr. Ladbroke's br.h. Chester, 4 yrs old1
Lord Egremont's b.f. 3 years2
Sir G. Webster's b.h. Hippomenes, aged3
Mr. Hughes's ch.gal. Squirrel, 5 years4

The first was a good race, but the others were won easy.

The termination of the Lewes Races, which had retained their quarters here, numbers of Turf Amateurs, has produced the flight of that portion of our visitants, to make room for those whose motives for a temporary sojourn on the coast, is unconnected with the bustle and confusion usually attendant on such scenes of amusement.

Our Theatre, under the patronage of various persons of distinction, has been extremely well attended, and the several performances have gone off with the happiest effect. Col. Sergison's name on Wednesday, produced a brilliant assemblage; and that of Viscount Dursley, on Thursday, a most respectable attendance. The pieces on the evenings were, the DRAMATIST, and Miss IN HER TEENS. BRUNTON, as usual, was a happy and lively representative of VAPID, and with the rest of the performers, was well repaid with applauses, for the good humour excited in the audience. In the farce, Miss JOHNSTONE, with that unassuming ability which must ever render a young actress a favourite with the public, divertingly delineated a Miss in her Teens, while the parts of FLASH and FRIBBLE never met more able nor more whimsical representatives then in PALMER and MURRAY, jun..
Worthing boasts a good share of company, but not to the extent in number or quality as in this time last season. The Balls, by the attention of Mr. Chandles; and the Theatre, under the management of Trotter, with the assistance of Barrymore and Decamp, are well attended, and give the most general satisfaction.
On Friday last, at the Vice-Regal Lodge, in the Phoenix-Park, Dublin, her Grace the Duchess of RICHMOND was safely delivered of a daughter; and was, when the account left Park-Gate, with the new-born infant, as well as could be expected. This is her Grace's fourteenth accouchement.
On Saturday a Gentleman who embraced the waves from a machine opposite to Walker's Marine Library, possessing more spirit than skill, strength, or prudence, rashly ventured to swim out a considerable way beyond his depth, and being in that situation overtaken with fatigue or fear, would in all likelihood, have paid the forfeiture of his folly with his life, had he not been seen and timely rescued from his perilous situation by the attendant bathers, who rushed to his assistance, and brought him on shore in a most exhausted state.
Last Monday, Miss Kemp, one of the young ladies engaged in the straw-hat manufactory, in East-street, was placed in great peril, through the temerity of a butcher's boy, who drove his calf-cart so furiously along the streets, that the safety of the public was thereby greatly endangered, and Miss Kemp, being unable to get out of his way, was knocked down by the horse, and driven with great force into the kennel. She was taken up senseless, and carried to Mr. Hack's, where she soon after recovered, and it appeared, had luckily received no other injury than a few slight bruises. The boy, it is to be hoped, received from his master a chastisement that will prevent his being guilty of the like imprudence again.

MARRIED. On Tuesday last, Mr. George Pearman, of Horsham, to Miss Lloyd, of Preston, near this town.




ACCIDENTS.

As the Rev.Mr. Wright, Curate, of Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, was returning from Sutton, in that neighbourhood, on Wednesday evening, where he had been burying a corpse, he was violently attacked by a bull, which was grazing in a pasture through which the footpath to the church passes, and was so dreadfully gored by the furious animal that for some time his life was despaired of, and even now he is not perfectly out of danger.
On Tuesday a partition-wall of one of St.Mary's Alms-houses, Ox-lane, Shrewsbury, fell down, some gentlemen, hearing the crash, opened the door of the house, and discovered half-buried with bricks, the old and decrepid tenant, who, together with the ruins, had sunk into the vault below, where she was scarcely discernable amid the dust - Notwithstanding the apparent danger of her situation she sat calm as a philosopher- "unhurt amid the war of elements and the wreck of matter." At first she declined accepting the offers that were made to remove her; nor could the reasons for her attachment to the squalid and ruinous habitation be guessed, till it was discovered that she had hoarded a quantity of money in the holes and corners of it.
A child, about two years and a half old, on Wednesday se'nnight, crept unperceived behind his father, Mr. David Harry, while mowing hay in a field at Llangake, near Swansea, and the scyth, entering his belly, he expired soon after. The feelings of the unhappy parent can be better conceived than described.
Monday morning, as Thomas Hyslop, a labourer in the West India Docks, was working in the hold of a ship, one of his legs was jammed between two casks, and broken. He was taken to the London Hospital!, where he had been but a few hours before his child, about three years of age, was brought in, almost burnt to death, having been left in a room by itself where there was a fire.
On Friday as Sir John and Lady Lade were going down Hampstead-hill, on their way to Hendon, in a curricle, the pole came out of the splashing leather, and, falling against the horses, set them kicking and running at full speed. In this perilous situation, Lady Lade jumped out of the curricle and fell, but received little hurt; Sir .John kept his seat until the foot-board was kicked off and the harness broken, when, finding that he had no command, he leaped from the curricle, and was much bruised from the fall; the horses continued running furiously to Sir John's house with the curricle, a distance of near four miles, and entering the yard, got into a pond, from which they were got out with difficulty, very much cut about the legs, but not otherwise hurt. Sir John and Lady Lade were both bled, and fortunately have received no very serious injury.
The lightning on Thursday morning entered a bed-chamber in a small house at Clapham, and set the curtains in a blaze. Before a boy, who slept in the bed, could escape, he was badly scorched. The furniture and other articles in the apartment were destroyed, and the house would have been consumed, had not the greatest exertion been made to extinguish the flames. The lightning flashed in the most awful manner, and much injury has been done west of London, to barns and haystacks.
On Tuesday night a shocking accident occurred to Miss S. Beville, at her mother's house, Winfred Green, near Colnbrook. Mrs. B. had entertained a party of friends in the evening, and after they had retired, a violent shriek was heard on the second floor; and on one of the servants going up, it was discovered that the unfortunate Miss Beville was locked in the water-closet, which was apparently on fire. The door was immediately forced open, and a schocking scene presented itself, the young Lady having, as it was supposed, set fire to her garments, which were burnt off her back. She was senseless, and was burnt so dreadfully that she survived only two hours. The deceased was 25 years of age, and on the point of marriage to a Gentleman in Hoare-street.




POLICE.
GUILDHALL.

Wednesday, Mr. Pelham, the owner of the Jacob's Well public-house, in Barbican, charged a female servant of Mrs. Croxhall, who manages the business, with robbing him of a pocket-book, containing one �10. bank-note, two twos, and seven ones, also a bill for �170. and another for �50. and a third for �23. He said he had the pocket-book in his pocket, on Tuesday morning, an hour before the time he missed it; he had changed his coat in the morning, and could not swear the hook had been stolen, as it might have dropped from his pocket.
Mrs. Croxhall said, that as soon as the property was missed, she used the utmost diligence to discover it; she was induced to search the privy, where she found the pocket-book, and drew it I from the soil; the bills remained in the book, but the bank notes were missing. She then charged her servant with the robbery, who denied it. Suspicion was, however, strongly excited by the Prisoner seeming uncommonly anxious to go out with some beer; being refused, she ran off from the house, but was overtaken in Chiswell-street. An officer was sent for to search her; he found part of the Bank notes in the lining of one of her shoes, and the remainder in the other. Mrs.Croxhall added, that her servant had a good character from her last place, where she had resided eight years.
The Prisoner, in her defence, said, that she found the pocket-book on the floor, and was very sorry she had not restored it.
Mr. Pelham having regained his property, wished to decline prosecuting, and the Sitting Alderman, after a suitable admonition, ordered her to be committed to Bridewell for a month.

UNION HALL.

On Wednesday, a young man, of the name of Smith, residing at Tooting, in Surrey, was examined, being charged with having passed two forged cheques, payable at Messrs. Drummonds, Charing-cross, one for �20. the other for �5. for which he received value of Mr. Godling, a corn-dealer, and the Landlord of the Public-house, at the above place. The charge being made out, the Prisoner was committed for trial.

HATTON GARDEN.

Wednesday a young man exhibited a complaint against a spirited young woman of decent appearance, being apprehensive of personal injury, by which he conceived his life to be in danger. Being called upon what she had to say for herself, she answered, that he was always very troublesome and exciting disturbance, and the only weapon she made use of to defend herself was her tongue, without any threats, which induced him to challenge her and her sister to fight him for five guineas, which they declined; but the Prosecutor being positive in his charge, she was held to bail, when two gentlemen, entire strangers, became her bondsmen.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

At Bury Quarter-Sessions, last week, was tried an indictment preferred against Mr. William Rickwood, veterenary-surgeon, of Melford, by Mr John Chevalier, surgeon, of the same place, for an assault in having lifted up his stick in a threatening manner against the prosecutor, who, it appeared, had the day before ridden against the defendant's son, a lad of 15 years old, and forced him and his horse into the ditch. After a long hearing, and the Court pointing out to the Jury that the holding up a stick or hand offensively amounted in law to an assault, they returned a verdict of guilty; upon which the major part of the Magistrates concurred in sentencing the defendant to six months imprisonment.- BURY POST.
Before a Bench of Magistrates at Brentford, on Tuesday, a case was heard, on six informations, against Mr. Cooper, a proprietor of a Windsor stage-coach, for not having his Christian name painted on the door pannels of said coach, agreeably to Act of Parliament. He was convicted in the penalty of �60.

MURDERS.

A shocking murder was committed on Tuesday night, on the road leading from the village of Pepper, New Forest, Hants, to Goring, by two fellows on the body of a smuggler, who was conveying some property in a tilted cart, in company with a little girl, his daughter. The ruffians demanded the man's money, but having a quantity of guineas about him to convey to Portsmouth, he refused compliance with the robbers request, when they beat him with bludgeons until he was deprived of life, and got at his property, leaving the little girl bound in the cart, and after taking off the horses and turning them loose on the common, the villains decamped.
A shocking murder was committed on Friday night, at St.Peter's-hill, Westminster, by a woman on her husband. The parties had quarrelled whilst in bed, after each had returned from daily labour, and the wife stuck a knife in her husband's forehead, which caused almost instantaneous death. The woman was taken into custody, and will be examined after the Coroner's Jury has sat upon the body of the deceased.
