Yesterday a young man leaped from the centre of Battersea-bridge, to swim up the river against time for a wager of five guineas, but he was instantly folIowed by a Newfoundland dog, belonging to a casual passenger, which seized him by the arm, and without drawing blood, dragged him to shore, to the infinite merriment of a great number of spectators, who joined in paying a tribute of praise to this sagacious and generous animal.

The following remarkable incident happened in a field near Sutton, in Surry. On Sunday the 11th inst. Wm.Ellice, a journeyman shoe-maker, that lived at Cheam, went from thence to Carsholten, a village about two miles from Cheam, and, on his return thro' a field, he lay down, and fell asleep, and continued sleeping 'till the Friday morning following, without any subsistence. He was seen to rise out of a piece of oats. His hat was covered with mould; his tobacco-box was rusty in his pocket, and he was insensible for some time, but came to himself after having some refreshment. He said he thought he had been there only all night, and would not believe but that it was Monday.




WINCHESTER, AUGUST 24.

Late on Saturday evening last it was discovered that the felons and convicts confined in the dungeon belonging to the county gaol, among whom was Tyrie, convicted of High Treason, had for some time past been endeavouring to effect their escape. The keeper having some suspicion of their intentions, made in the course of that day a minute search round the walls of the cells, and at last fortunately discovered, in the malefactor's dungeon, a piece of plank which gave way on receiving a hard stroke with the hammer. On taking out the plank it was found that the brick-work behind had been removed nearly the whole thickness of the wall, (which was about three feet) and the bricks were replaced again in exact order, but so loose as to be taken out ill a few minutes. Their tools were also concealed there, consisting of a hammer, some large chissels, a hand-saw, &c. What rendered the discovery very difficult was, the inside of the cells had been lately white-washed, and the delinquents had every morning, after their work, done over the crevices of the plank with a thick white cement, so as to correspond with the other parts of the wall.
On Monday last John Deadman was committed to bridewell, charged with having aided and assisted the felons and convicts to break the prison, by providing and furnishing them with tools, &c. for that purpose.

The same day Geo.Maynard, late of the Vine Inn, at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, who has been for some time pall confined in this gaol for debt, was detained on a charge of having caused and procured to be purchased and brought into the said gaol, two large taper bitts, or gimblers, which were found in the dungeon, and which had been made use of by the convicts, in boring and cutting away the plank, in order to effect their escape.

This attempt to break prison was set on foot by Tyrie soon after his commitment thither, though not detected 'till near a week after his conviction; and he procured Maynard's assistance by promises of settling his affairs for him with his creditors, and releasing him from prison, which was to take place as soon as Tyrie had procured his own enlargement.

It seems that Maynard, immediately after Tyrie was convicted, and secured in the condemned cell, was very desirous of having an interview with him, pretending he could get his confidence, and obtain from him, and furnish government with, some very important discoveries; but it fortunately happened that Maynard had seen Tyrie but once after his conviction, before the whole diabolical plot was found out; after which Maynard was denied having any interview with Tyrie, lest some other scheme should be concerted (the first proving abortive) to effect the escape of this desperate traitor.

Right Rev.Dr.Barrington, Lord Bishop of Salisbury, will preach a Sermon on the occasion, in the Cathedral.

Thursday morning was married at Bath, Mrs.Monson, a lady of rank and fortune, aged 85 to the Hon.Capt.Hamilton, aged 30. The concourse of people were immense, who crouded to see the new-married couple.

The Annual Feast of the Graziers and Butchers was held at the City Arms, in the Market-place, on Monday last. There was a respectable appearance of company, and the day was spent in the greatest harmony and festivity.

Our Fortnight's Market for Fat Cattle is become the largest in England, Smithfield excepted. There were upwards of 400 beast, and 2000 sheep and lambs, in the market on Tuesday laft; very few remained unsold. The cattle fetched a very good price.

The Annual Diversions on Warminster Down will be the 11th and 12th of September; of which timely notice will be given in hand-bills.

Sunday the 18th inst. the Coroner's Inquest sat on the body of James O'Brien, who was drowned at Downton, in this county, and brought in their verdict accidental death.- This man had been detected in horse-stealing, and being closely pressed by his pursuers, took to the water, and thus reversed the adage.

The only son of Mr.David French, innkeeper, of Frome, being out shooting on Friday se'nnight, was unhappily shot dead by the accidental discharge of his companion's gun.

The following extraordinary event happened at Melksham on Sunday the 18th inft. - A man of the name of Southernwood being sworn to by a woman of that place, as the father of a child she had coming by him, the parish officers apprehended him the day above-mentioned, to conduct him to prison; but some dragoons being quartered at Melksham, they had placed their stores in it. The key was demanded of the Quarter-Master, who remonstrated on the impropriety of putting a man there whilst so much gun-powder (to the rare of 60 rounds per man made into cartridges, besides a considerable quantity in what they call a leathern jack) was lodged there, but the constable insisting on having the key, it was delivered up. The man confined there no sooner knew of the circumstance of the powder, than he formed the desperate resolution of blowing the house and himself up; which horrid purpose he put into execution that evening, and the whole now lays in a heap of ruins; not a stone (some of them near a ton weight) remaining in its former situation; but what is extremely fortunate, altho' it stands in the middle of the town, not a person received the least injury, except the wretch who perpetrated this execrable deed. The man, astonishing to tell, was taken out alive, but miserably burnt, and one of his legs was crushed in such a manner by the falling of the stones, as to require immediate amputation. He is still existing, altho' in a most terrible condition, and has confessed that the method he made use of to set the powder on fire was, by striking his knife against some flint stones which were there.

On Tuesday was committed to Fisherton gaol, Tho.Rynock, late of Yeovil, charged with stealing two geldings, the property of John Wilton and Joseph Perry, of Charlcome, in the county of Somerset, and also a gelding, the property of some other person.- He has impeached two persons for receiving horses knowing them to be stolen, one of whom (Smith, a butcher at Highworth) is committed to Marlborough bridewell, and the other (Drew, a blacksmith at Christian Malford) is committed to Devizes bridewell.

The crowd of people of all ranks, assembled by four o'clock this morning at the gates of the gaol, to see Tyrie set off for the place of execution, was very great. About five o'clock he was put into a coach with six horses, attended by the Ordinary, Under Sheriff, Gaoler, &c. and conveyed to Portsmouth, where being delivered up to the Mayor and Police of the town, he was drawn on a sledge to the place of execution ; after praying a little time he was turned off, and hanging 'till almost dead, was then cut down, his head severed from his body, his bowels taken out, and his heart shewn to the surrounding multitude, and then thrown into a fire made for the purpose; the body was then quartered, and put into a coffin.- The concourse of people was immense, and beyond description; and such was the singular avarice of many who were near the body, that happy was he who could procure a finger, or some relick of the criminal.-Tyrie supported 'till the last the same hardened and intrepid conduct as marked him on his condemnation, boldly leaping into the coach at his leaving Winchester; on his journey to Portsmouth, by his words and conduct expressing great indifference to his approaching fate, and even laughing at the place of execution.

Yesterday were committed to the gaol here, John Doyle and Eliz.Pasco, the former for the murder of John Mitchell, a marine, at Portsmouth, and the latter for being accessary to the said murder.

The same day was brought to the said gaol, from the Secretary of State's office, a free pardon for Tho.Tandy, convicted of robbing his master, Wm.Morgan, at Gosport, of �200. at the Summer Assizes, 1781.

On Tuesday morning last Farmer Stares, of Hoe Cross, near Hambledon, was found dead on the road from Hambledon to his farm, and within half a mile of his own house, with his throat cut, his pockets rifled, and his buckles taken out of his shoes. And yesterday John Tayler, of the parish of Hambledon, blacksmith, was committed to our county gaol, on a violent suspicion of committing the above murder.

A Farmer's Extempore Invitation to his Friend.
Dinton, August 17, 1782.

YOU see, my friend, I ask, in rhyme,
If you to-day with me will dine ?
The dinner will be nicely done
Just as the clock declares it's one:
I've got a bit of Lamb, Sir, that
Is just two inches thick in fat:
Perchance you cannot dine on lamb,
Why then I have a bacon ham ;
Two pullets that are three parts grown
I cull'd out last night from my own ;
Cabbage, potatoes, and, beside,
Broad beans almost two inches wide;
Good ale I've got, but faith 'tis new,
'Twas brew'd in July, eighty-two,
Tis sweet indeed, though hardly fine,
The dinner done, the table clear,
But then 'twiII do just while we dine.
I'll fetch you, Sir, a mug of beer,
That is, my friend, such nice old stuff,
You'll find three glasses are enough:-
If you, dear Sir, on these can dine,
Pray do be kind to come betime.
