The hills at Hindhead and Portsdown are much lowered, and the steep and dangerous assent at Stonar hill, between Petersfield and Alton, is removed or avoided by a new cut round the other side of the hill. New roads are likewise in contemplation from London to Portsmouth by way of Farnham; also Chichester to Petersfield, Midhurst to Petersfield, and Alton to Liphook, the latter uniting the Portsmouth and Gosport roads within a distance of nine miles.

A match at bowls, between 6 gentlemen of Winchester, and 6 gentlemen of the Southampton bowling green, was played on Monday last, on the White Swan bowling-green in this city, which, after much scientitic play, was decided in favour of Winchester.- At three o'clock, between thirty and forty partook of an excellent dinner provided by Barnes.

The drapers in this city, wilh the exception of one individual, have agreed, through the solicitation of their assistants, to close their shops at a certain hour in the evening of the winter and summer season.

CAUTlON TO OVERSEERS - John Dollar, the assistant Overseer of the parish of Droxford, has recently paid a penalty of �100. with costs of suit, for supplying the Workhouse with goods, &c. for the use of the poor, contrary to the Statute of 55th Geo.3.

At a petty sessions held in Romsey on Saturday last, Wm.Sinatt was convicted of selling beer without a licence, upon an information under 35 G.3, c.13. It appeared that writs of execution from the Sheriff had been issused for seizing the good of Stephen Leach, a pubIican of Romsey, and that Sinatt, in carrying the writs into effect seized his goods, amongst which was a quantity of beer; and the offence charged was, that Sinatt sold the beer, and received the money, without the lawful authority of a licence. Mr.Henry Day, of Cowes, on the part of the prosecution, pressed for the conviction of the defendant. Mr.Holmes, of Romsey, on the part of Sinatt, the defendant, submitted that it never could have been the intention of the Legislature to make the Sheriff of a county liable to a penalty under the circumstances of the present case; that the Act contemplated a sale by a person for his own benefit, and not that of a public officer selling the goods of a defendant to the best advantage, in obedience to the King's writ for the satisfaction of a debt; that there was a total absence of all fraudulent intention on the part of the defendant; and that the present prosecution was an attempt to distort an Act of Parliament, and obtain a conviction on the letter, in opposition to its spirit and meaning.
The Magistrates were of opinion that the selling by the Sheriff's officer was irregular, and convicted him in the mitigated penalty of �10. The defendant immediately gave netice of appeal to the Quarter Sessions.

On Wednesday last an inquest was taken by Mr.Todd, at Kingsomborne, on the body of William Hyde, who on that morning was found dead in his bed. Verdict, '"Visitation of God."

A correspondent, who has more than once seen the experiment succeed, wishes to make public the following humane method of killing eels, by which those animals, so subject, on account of their tenacity of life, to protracted cruelty, may be in one instant deprived of all sense of feeling and motion. Let the fish be held by some person with both hands, in such a manner that an assistant may observe a longitudinal streak between the two lateral fins near the head, into which let him strike transversely a a pen knife, or other pointed instrument, so as to piece the bone, and the fish will immediately after a few convulsive throws, sink into insensibility.- The operations of skinning, cutting, &c. may then be performed with convenience and humanity.-- It is strange, but true, that the entire separation of the nead from the body will not be attended with a similar prompt effect.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.- On Monday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, as the Rev.George Richards, son of the Rev. Charles Richards, of Hyde Abbey, in this city, was returning in a gig from Romsey to Winchester, two men armed with bludgeons stopped him in Anvil Wood, and robbed him of a gold watch and several sovereigns. From Mr.Richards's description of the men, it is supposed they are the same fellows who robbed Mr.Mann and Mr.Beale, as stated in our Journal last week.

On Wednesday evening, as Mr.Moulden, veterinary surgeon, of this city, was on a pony upon his return home, on the Andover road, a fellow suddenly came out from the side of the road, and made an attempt to seize the bridle, which Mr.M quickly prevented; the fellow afterwards followed Mr.M. who rode very fast for some distance.

Any person giving such information as shall convict the offender, shall receive TEN POUNDS Reward.- If Strayed, any person restoring the same shall be paid all reasonable expences.



Southampton,
Saturday, August 20.

THEATRE.-On Monday the comedy of "A New Way to pay Old Debts," was played for the benefit of Mr.Kean. The Sir Giles Overreach of Kean is too well known to need comment or description; but the character was never sustained by him better than on the present occasion. We wish we could say as much of his Baron Willinghurst, in the entertainment "Of Age to-morrow;" but the truth is, that he spoke but few lines of the author throughout, and took numerous liberties with the character that were not approved by the audience. The house was well attended, the receipts being about�90.

On Wednesday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Prince William of Brunswick passed through ths. town, on their road from Portsmouth to Bath.

Died on the 15th instant, at Barnfield. near Southampton, Preston Hulton, Esq, sincerely regretted by a large circle of relations and friends, and highly respected by all who knew him.



Newport, Aug.19.- Sessions for the Division of this Island, heId at our Guildhall, on Saturday last, John Dove, of this town, was convicted of carrying and conveying contraband foreign spirits, and fined �100.-At the same time Robert Bevis was convicted of a similar offence, and fined �100.

Enlisting Apprentices.- John Roberts, a silk-weaver, at Reading, in Berkshire, applied to the Magistrates at the above sessions, for the recovery of Charles Turner, his apprentice, who had enlisted into his Majesty's 41st Regt. of Foot. Mr.Cossins, of this town, who appeared for Roberts, having produced and proved the due execution of the indentures, and that at the time they were executed Turner was under 14 years of age, the magistrate ordered him to be delivered over to his master.- Capt.M'Intire, who commanded the depot of the 41st reg. then applied to the magistrates, and requested that Turner might be committed to prison, there to abide the provisions of the Mutiny Act - Being called upon to prove his being sworn in, he produced the usual attestation, which was made before Sir Richard Bassett, and called the subscribing witness thereto to prove it, which he did in a general way, but on being asked by Mr.Cossins, if he was sure that the person then at the bar was the person who appeared before Sir Richard Bassett, and signed and swore to the attestation, he said he could not undertake to do so, not having noticed his person at the time. Sir R. Bassett was then called on, who said that he had sworn in a person who called himself Charles Turner, but that not having paid attention to his person he was unable to say whether the person then before him was the same or not. The soldier who accompanied Turner when he was attested, not being present, Mr.Cossins contended that this apprentice had not been identified as the person sworn in, and therefore claimed him unconditionally on behalf of the master, which the magistrates after a short consultation agreed to.

Died, on Monday last, Mr.Morris Mew, late stay maker of this town, aged 59.

On Friday se'nnight. J.Brown, Esq. was elected Mayor of Marlborough for the ensuing year.

The Duke of York's birth-day was celebrated on Tuesday last at Trowbridge by the ringing of bells, &c. The bells in the parishes of North-Bradley and Steeple-Ashton were also rung during the day, in grateful respect to his Royal Highness. A plentiful dinner was provided by the Vicars of the respective parishes on the occasion; and the toast of "The King, and the Duke of York; and may the two Royal brothers long continue firm supporters of our Protestant Establishment in Church and State," was received with the most enthusiastic applause.

The annual meeting of the Westbury Bib!e Society was holden at the Town Hall on Monday the 15th instant, on which occasion there was a numerous and most respectable attendance. The chair was taken by Thomas H.H. Phipps, Esq. The Foreign Secretary of the Parent Society, Dr.Stemkopff and the Rev.T.A.

The room was filled with a highly respectable company, and the chair was taken by F.Bunn, Esq. Among other interesting business, the Rev.W. H.

A correspondent requests us to call the attention of our readers again to the evidence lately given by Mr.Clarke, before the Lord Mayor, respecting the alarming practice of adulterating various articles of food. We gave an account of this important evidence in our Journal of the 1st instant. Our correspondent says :-" In addition to the two articles of flour and tea, mentioned by that very intelligent gentleman, Mr.Clarke, the public should be cautioned against the use of imitation pepper. The detection of this frand is by no means difficult as the stinking quality of it cannot fail of discovering itself after having been kept, it being composed of gIue, snuff and pepper dust, sold to the Jews by the porters who sweep out the the pepper warehouses. A few years ago the sale of this, even in respectable shops, was very common, and now it is ground up with good pepper and sold in retail shops. In the present state of trade it becomes necessary to put it under the inspection of officers competent to analise the ingredients of all articles of food, and make their report to the Lords of the Treasury."

. On Tuesday last died in this city, Mr.Withers, of Sixpenny Handley, Dorset. In recording this death, it is a tribute due to departed worth to add, that as he was highly esteemed by those who intimately knew him, so he lived generally respected, and died much lamented; and at the close of a gradual decline departed his life piously resigned to the decrees of Providence, and in a firm hope of another and a better world.

The accident mentioned in our last, of a scaffold breaking down at a new building in Fugglestone St.Peter, has been, as we feared, fatal in its consequences. Similar accidents occur but too often, and they shew the propriety of workmen fully ascertaining the security of a scaffoId, before they venture their lives upon it.
On Wednesday last Mr.Whitmarsh held an inquest at Wilton on the body of William Ford, a mason who, whilst at work upon a scaffold at Fugglestone on the preceding Saturday, fell, together with his son and another mason, to the ground, in consequence of the scaffold breaking down. It arreared, in the investigation, that one of the pot-lugs of the scaffold had broken and given way. A concussion of the brain occasioned the deceased's death on the following Tuesday, and a verdict was returned accordingly. - The son of the deceased was conveyed to our Infirmary, where every attention by the medical gentlemen has been given him; but he is still in a very precarious state.- The other mason received a severe contusion on the chest; but he is now nearly recovered from its effects.

An inquest was held by Mr.Hannen, on Monday last, at Gussage All Saints, on the body of Ann Maidment, an elderly widow woman, who had lived alone upwards of 30 years, and was found suspended from a nail in her bed room the preceding evening.- Verdict, "Lunacy."

Youthful Depravity.- A shop-boy in the empIoy of Mr.John AIford, draper, of Bradford, having been corrected for some offence, attempted on the 12th instant, to seek his revenge, by poisoning his master. For this pnrpose, he went into a druggist's shop, and stole a parcel marked "poison." This he put into a bucket of water, from which the kettle was filled for tea: and on the family (consisting of 5 persons) partaking of it, they all became sick. Mr. Adye (a surgeon) was sent for, who administered some medicine, and very fortunately removed the cause. On analyzing the water poison was clearly discernible. Suspicion at once fell on the boy, who has since confessed, and is now in prison.
