ADMISTON, April 3, 1818.
To W. LONG WELLESLEY, Esq.
SIR,
PERMIT us, your Hampshire TENANTS, to express our surprise and indignation at the appearance
of a public attack on your character as a Landlord.
We owe it to you, Sir, to contradict thus publicly, this
vile aspersion; and to ourselves to declare it is without foundation, and that we feel the warmest attachment
to your Person.
The repeated acts of kindness we have experienced at your hands, compel us to enter most feelingly into the object of your present pursuit; and whilst we hope, with sincerity and confidence, you will eventually realize your wishes, we cannot but regret your true character is not more universally known to the Freeholders of Wilts.
However the tongue of slander may attack you - however the pen of a secret Coward may attempt to blast your reputation, yet we are persuaded your character is sufficiently brilliant to disperse the venom of the one, and to rise proudly pre-eminent above the reach of the other.
We are, SIR,
With every feeling of gratitude, attachment, and respect,
Your faithful TENANTS.

YORK, April, 1818.
TO WM. LONG WELLESLEY, ESQ.
SIR,
ALTHOUGH from local Circumstances we may be the last to express our displeasure at the
attack made on your conduct as a Landlord, yet we trust we are not the less anxious to offer this public tribute of our esteem for your high character, which we so justly prize .
We do not affirm that those unforeseen evils, or the unprecedented distress, which has been of late so universally felt by the great body of agriculturists throughout the kingdom, has been altogether unfelt by us; but we do affirm, that this burthen has been rendered comparatively
light by your well timed and liberal interference.
For these, and other marks of your kind consideration, it is, that we, your Tenants in the County of York, are desirous, that not only the vile calumniator of your fame should be exposed, but also, that the world may know your real character, and that the motive from which we act is a grateful one, - We beg leave to subscribe ourselves,
with gratitude and respect, Sir,
Your obliged Tenantry,

The Rev.David Williams, of Romsey, has lately received the thanks of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge in the diocese of St. David's, for his laudable exertions in promoting the views of that society.

On Saturday last was paid in, by J.Fleming, Esq. of Stoneham Park, and the Rev.S.Kent, of Southampton, executors of the late Mrs.Fleming, of Bugle Hall, Southampton, the sum of one hundred pounds to the Governors of the County Hospital, at Winchester, being a bequest to the hospital by the said Mrs.Fleming.

Singular Occurrence. - A Robin has built her nest, and has laid six eggs upon which she is now sitting, in a cupboard at the Central School in this city. The boys have constant access to the cupboard, and deposit their books therein. This harmless bird, however, remains unmoved in her nest during school hours, apparently undisturbed by the noise and by the moving scene around her. The children too feel a pleasure watching her, instead of annoying her in the slightest degree.
A Pedestrian Undertaking of Seventy Miles per Day for three successive Days. - Captain Woodford undertook this herculean task on Monday for a considerable sum of money, at Longwood, near Blackwater, in this county, and accomplished his first day's task without being distressed.

He did twenty miles by six o'clock, but he had no appetite at breakfast; he pursued his journey again at seven o'clock, and did fifteen miles by twelve o'clock, just half the distance in twelve hours. At five o'clock he was so much worn down that he was unable to proceed, having performed twelve miles more; his feet were much blistered and both legs were swollen.

Salisbury,
Monday, May 4, 1818.
Wilts Election.- Several very interesting notices respecting the ensuing election of Representatives for this county, are to be seen in the preceding page.
It will be seen by reference to our Parliamentary report that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has, for the present, abandoned his proposed measure respecting the issue of small notes by Country Bankers. Every person, in the least acquainted with political economy, must rejoice that a pleasure so invidious in its nature, so fundamentally wrong in principle, and likely to be so mischievous in practice, is not to be proposed at least during the present session. Great credit is due to those gentlemen who composed the committee of country bankers in London, and who, opposing the principle, have uniformly declined taking into their consideration even any modification of the proposed bill.
Mr.Sturges Bourne has obtained leave to bring a Bill into Parliament, to alter and amend the laws respecting the settlement of the Poor. In moving for leave to bring in the Bill, the Right Hon.Gentleman expressed a confident hope that the measure would simplify the law of settlement, and remove many sources of litigation and expence.- See Report.
The Right Hon.the Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev.Wm.Bond, A.M. rector of Corfe Castle and of Steeple with Tyneham, to a prebend in the Cathedral Church of Bristol, vacated by the death of Sir Adam Gordon, Bart.
The Rev.Henry Donne, Vicar of Cranborne, is collated by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury to the rectory of Boscombe, in this county.
The fourth Canto of Child Harolde, just published, closes that most beautiful poem. It will be found, that in the expression of high indignation of tyranny, injustice, and inhumanity, this exquisite poem soars even above the former flights of its noble author. It abounds too in the most animated pictures of the desolation produced by the late war in Italy. But what will render the poem peculiarly interesting to British readers are some beautiful stanzas upon
the death of the lamented Princess Charlotte.
It will be seen by an advertisement, that a Musical Festival is announced to take place at Oxford on the 2d of next month and two following days, upon a very grand and attractive scale, Madame Fodor and Mr.Bartleman being engaged. - Bath Musical Festival is announced for the 1st of next month and four following days, the principal singers being Signora Corri and Mr.Braham.
Extraparochial Property.- We have heard that, amongst other expedients for amending the Poor Laws, the Committee of the House of Commons have recommended the rendering places and parishes hitherto deemed extraparochial, subject to Poor Rates. But we can hardly give credit to this report, when we first consider the very ancient tenures which would, by this strong measure, be annihilated; and secondly, the very small encrease which the Poor-rates would gain. The County of Wilts (if such a measure took place) would suffer more than either of the two adjoining Counties of Hants and Dorset, the extraparochial liberties being more extensive. Amongst these are Clarendon Park, the Earldoms, Melchet Park, and a part of Savernake Forest. In Hampshire, the College of Winchester, and the Hospital of Saint Cross, would lose their old accustomed privileges. In short, if this corner stone of the English fabric were taken down, who cannot but foretel some more important dilapidation, or even total downfall ? But we place our confidence in the very respectable Committee selected for the amendment of the Poor Laws; and cannot suppose that a measure so strong and subversive of one of the most ancient tenures of our land, will be countenanced by them as individuals, or by their intelligent and zealous Chairman, who is so well acquainted with the rights and liberties of his fellow-subjects.
The public attention seems so much bent on the expedition for discovering the North-West passage, that we consider it a duty to lay before our readers whatever new ideas are communicated to us on that subject. -It has been noticed in our Journal, that formerly the herrings used to visit the Baltic Sea regularly, and that, after having discontinued that practice for many years, they last year renewed it. The Greenland coasts used formerly to be so free from ice as to admit of colonization; but for many years past the ice accumulated so much in the Northern Ocean, as to render those coasts nearly inaccessible. Last year those seas were unusually free from ice, and last year the herrings revisited the Baltic. These concurring circumstances render the idea of a passage by Baffin's Bay very probable; for the herrings came from the Pacific, with the currents that ran cast of Greenland; they consequently came down the coast of Norway, and then visited the Baltic, The ice suddenly increased so much as to touch the bottom of the sea, and stop some of these currents, which then found vent by Baffin's Bay: the herrings consequently did not then come near the mouth of the Baltic, but followed the currents which wind round the British Isles. A continued south-wind in the Sea of Kamtschatka may have risen the water so high at Behring's Straits, as to force away the ice that was grounded in the sea north-east of Greenland, and thereby opened the old passage for the herrings. Indeed the sailors report that the masses of ice driven southward by the wind and currents, are infinitely larger than usual, and have a great quantity of sand clinging on them; which proves that they were torn away by some violent effort.- We throw out these ideas for the contemplation of our philosophical readers, hoping to be instructed by their ideas upon the subject. Then perhaps we may attempt to shew, by reasons amounting almost to conviction, that there must be a north-west passage, through Baffin's Bay, to Behring's Straits.
Births .-On Sunday morning the 26th ult. in London, the Viscountess Folkstone, of a son.- On the 26th ult. at Woodborough Parsonage, in this county, the Lady of the Rev.T.Gale, of a daughter. - At Taunton, on the 25th ult. the lady of Colonel Scroggs, of a daughter.
Lately was married, Mr.W.Spencer, surgeon, of London, (son of Mr.Spencer, of Oakhill, Somerset,) to Miss Thompson, of Kentish Town.
A few days since was married at Frome, Mr.S.F.Bowden, surgeon, of Bristol, to Frances, youngest daughter of W.Hagley, Esq. surgeon, of the former place.
On Saturday the 25th ult. was married at Nettleton, in this county, Mr.Richard Baker, to Miss Booy, only daughter of Mr.James Booy, of Nettleton.
On Monday last was married, at Cattistock, Mr.John Harvey, jun. postmaster, of Weymouth, to Miss Lydia Slade Dunning, of Chalmington-House, Dorset.
On Tuesday was married at St.Andrew's, Holborn, by the Rev.John Hewlett, B.D., Thomas H. Aveline, Esq. of Lyme Regis, Dorset, to Ann, eldest daughter of Mrs.Savage, of Stroud, Gloucestershire.
On Sunday the 26th ult. died, at Everley, universally lamented, Francis Dugdale Astley, Esq. for several years Lieut. Colonel of the Wilts Yeomanry Cavalry, in the first raising of which corps his most strenuous exertions were used. He was one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenants for the County His whole life was most exemplary, in all its relations of a husband, father, landlord, and master; and his constant residence on his estates highly benefited his tenantry and peasants. His society was cheerful and engaging, his friendships steady and unaffected: his heart and hand were always open to the poor and distressed: his thoughts ever awake for the welfare of his country, and his best exertions never refused for promoting it. His munificence was princely, as his Church and rectory house at Everley, built at his own expence, will for ages testify: and his death is an inexpressible loss to all with whom he was connected by the ties or consanguinity and social intercourse. He was twice married and twice a widower and, by his first lady, has left three sons.
On the 24th ult. died at Chiswick, aged 80, Grace Ann, the relict of the late Rev.Arthur Coham, Archdeacon of Wilts.
On Monday died, at Edgar House, Bath, in his 57th year, Sir Egerton Leigh, Bart. of Montague-square, London, and Brownover-house, Warwickshire.
On Tuesday last died, at Kew, after a short illness, Mr.James Breese, nurseryman, late of Fisherton Anger.
On the 3d of November last died, universally lamented, Mrs.John Fox, of Melksham; and a few days since died, after a very short illness, Mr.John Fox, of Melksham. - Lately died at Melksham, Mr.John Coleman; also Mrs.Collingbourne, relict of the late Mr.Charles Collingbourne, of Melksham.
The Bath Herald of Saturday contains the following article of intelligence; "We received at a late hour this morning, a long account of an interesting duel, that look place on Sunday se'nnight, at Caen, in Normandy, between a professed French duellist, and the son of Capt.Pickford, of the Royal Navy. The ferocious Frenchman had provoked the meeting by every personal and national insult in his power. They met; and the Frenchman proposed the distance at 20 paces; but Pickford, thinking that almost certain death awaited him in either case, insisted on 2 paces and a half only. This was at last agreed to; and Mr.Pickford had the good fortune to escape, and to lay his antagonist dead at his feet."
NEWSPAPERs.-There are now printed in London fourteen papers daily; seven, three days in each week; and thirty, once a week. The greatest number of one paper is issued from the Observer Printing-Office, that Journal publishing regularly every week, near eleven thousand copies.
Extraordinary Fact.-A Bootmaker, resident in the borough of Calne, and who is a freeholder of this county, has now three journeymen working for him, who are also freeholders, and one of the latter has votes for the hundreds of Cricklade, &c. They can of course jointly give ten votes at the ensuing election.
Mr.Ogilvie, surgeon of Bradford, in this county, has published the following account of some highly deleterious effects lately produced in that town by eating sausages:
"On Saturday the 18th inst. (April) a woman, who was a stranger in the town, offered sausages for sale in the market at a lower price than ordinary. Their cheapness was a recommendation of them to the poor, who eagerly bought them up. Some were eaten on Saturday, but the greater part of them were kept till Sunday, when they were eaten for dinner or supper. Several individuals on Sunday, and a still greater number on Monday and Tuesday, were taken ill, with symptoms more or less violent, but in all of them indicating the presence of some acrid substance in the alimentary canal. These symptoms were not sufficiently clear to point out the precise nature of the poison swallowed; but it was soon found that they occurred in every instance after eating the above mentioned sausages.- Several of these persons coming under my care. I was anxious to ascertain the exact nature of the deleterious substance
contained in the sausages, and at length procured one of them for the purpose of analysis. The first idea that occurred to me, and I believe the prevailing opinion, was, that they might contain verdigris, from the ingredients having been suffered to remain in copper vessels; on testing it, however, with this view, I could discover no traces copper. I then applied appropriate tests for detecting arsenic, mercury, &c. but found it equally free from all the mineral poisons. -On breaking down the substance of the sausages with my finger, to ascertain whether any vegetable matter were mixed with it, I discovered some seeds of a peculiar appearance; they were mostly bruised, but some few remained whole. On chewing one of them, I found it possessed considerable acrimony, and notwithstanding the sausage had been .. boiled preparatory to the analysis, it occasioned much heat and irritation of the fauces. A further examination convinced me that these were the seeds of water hemlock, (cicuta virosa, of Lin.) a poisonous plant, of very virulent qualities. It may excite surprise, that seeds of this description should find their way into sausages. I can only account for it by supposing that the maker of the sausages, ignorant of the poisonous nature of the seed, used them as a substitute for spice or seasoning. The nature of the symptoms being thus ascertained, they were soon found to yield to appropriate remedies; and l am happy to state, that in all the cases which have fallen under my observation, the patients are likely to do well; nor have I heard of any death happening, though I suppose that not less than 60 or 70 individuals must have partaken of the poison, and the lives of some of them were brought into imminent danger.-It is to be hoped, that this circumstance will operate as a caution to the public to be on their guard against purchasing such things from strangers, especially when offered below their proper price: and also to the persons engaged in preparing such articles of food, not to use substances, however recommended to them, which they are not in the habit of employing, and of the nature of which they may be ignorant."
Poole, April 30 .The inhabitants of this place were thrown into consternation a little after one o'clock. yesterday morning by the ringing of the fire-bell, occasioned by a fire having broken out on the premises of Mr.Lamport, at the academy in West-street. It raged with great fury for about two hours, but by the active exertions and judicious arrangements of Mr.John Fricker, agent to the Sun Fire Office, with the aid of the Sun Fire men and three powerful engines, it was happily confined to that part of the premises in which it originated, and at length got under without communicating with the main building, an event which would have been attended with the most serious consequences. The fire was discovered by a female servant who heard the cracking of the window glass in her bed room, and who instantly gave alarm to the family, when Mr.Lamport took prompt measures to procure assistance. Much praise is due to Mrs.Lamport for the great presence of mind which she displayed on this trying occasion. She immediately repaired to the sleeping rooms of the young gentlemen in the seminary, and gently awaking them, desired them to dress themselves and assemble below stairs immediately, when being collected, Mr.Lamport conducted them to the house of a neighbour: her children were her next care, who were disposed of in a similar manner; and her own mind, thus relieved, was left free to act as the emergency of the case might require. The kitchen, laundry, and school-room, were entirely destroyed, with Mr.Lamport's valuable school library; but we are happy to say that not the slightest accident happened to any of the family or inmates.
On Tuesday the 21st ult. William Westcombe, butcher, of Downton, was fined in the full penalty of twenty pounds (being a second conviction) on an information laid against him before the County Magistrates of this division, under Act 35 Geo.3, for selling ale without being duly licensed so to do.
On Tuesday last Stephen Burton, of Alvedistone, servant of Mr.King, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the house of correction at Devizes, for not properly threshing corn.
