A numerous and splendid display of fashion in the boxes, and a house crowded in every part, testified to the high sense entertained of the professional talents of Mr.Maxfield.

Salisbury
Monday, November 1, 1813.
The last Ploughing Match for the present year of the Wiltshire Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture took place at Amesbury on Wednesday last, when seven Ploughs started for the Premiums offered in the different Classes:-
In the first class, with two horses without a driver, the first prize was awarded to R.Carter, a servant of Robert Pinckney, Esq. with Tickell's plough, who completed his half acre in 2h 8min; the second to James Ranton, and the third to Joseph Bennett, both servants of Mr.Gourlay, of Deptford, with the same plough, the first of whom finished his work in 2h. 1m. and the latter in 2h. 11 min.
On the second class, with two oxen without a driver, there were two competitors only, both servants of John Benett, Esq. from his Berwick farm, with Mr.Benett's swing plough : the first prize was awarded to Arch.Dewey, who ploughed his half acre in 2h. 50m. and the second to Wm.Ferrett, who ploughed his half acre in 2h. 33m.
In the third class, with three horses and a driver, there were also but two competitors : the first prize was adjudged to R.Boucher, a servant of Mr.Fisher, of Enford, who, with the old Wiltshire plough, completed his half acre in 1h. 44m. and the second to John Ings, a servant of Robert Pinckney, Esq. with Tickell's plough, who completed his work in 1h. 49m. Mr.Fisher's servant had three horses, but Mr.Pinckney's ploughed with only two.
At this meeting the judges appointed to decide on the claims for turnip hoers, and the best crop of Swedish turnips, was delivered to the Committee. The first prize for the best turnip hoer was awarded to R.Gye, a servant of Mr.J.E.Saunders, of Lavington; and the premium of five guineas for the best crop of turnips was awarded to Mr. G.urlay[?]. The judges observed that those turnips which were drilled were remarkably fine, and greatly superior in every respect to a few acres that had been sown broad cast on the same day, and which had since been twice hoed. The meeting was well attended; but from the extreme cold and the unfavourable state of the morning, the company was not so numerous as on former occasions.
Saturday se'nnight the Dorset Yeoman Cavalry, under the command of Lieut.Col.Frampton, completed their week's permanent duty at Dorchester; their orderly conduct and regular attention to duty reflect on them the highest credit. On Thursday they were inspected by General Jones, and went through a variety of evolutions, &c. to the entire satisfaction of the General and a large concourse of spectators. On Friday they were joined by the 12th and 13th Light Dragoons, from Dorchester barracks; the 14th, 16th, and 19th Light Dragoons, from Radipole; the 39th Infantry, from Weymouth; and the North Devon Militia, from Dorchester; when a sham fight commenced, and the combatants on both sides evinced much skill in taking up their positions.
On Tuesday last was baptized at Burnham, by the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the infant daughter of Mr.and Mrs.Selwyn, of Kilmington, in the county of Somerset. The sponsors on the occasion were the Duke of Cambridge and the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth.
In honour of the memory of a brave Officer, as well as a most accomplished and amiable young man, we record the death of Captain George Gibbons, on the 2d battalion 95th foot, who, after distinguishing himself at the taking of the island of Martinique, in 1809, and sharing the glories attending our late battles in Spain, bravely fell on the 7th ult. His death was occasioned by a wound he received from a musket ball on the heights of Vera, while gallantly leading his company through the French entrenchments.

Lately died, Mrs.W.Whitney, of Prospect-Place, near Bath.
Monday last Sir John Brigges, Bart. was apprehended in Bath, on a charge of embezzling King's Stores. About 20 years since, Sir John was charged with being concerned with Isgar, Crosley, &c. in forging the will of a gentleman of Monmouthshire; and a reward of �500 was then offered for his apprehension.
Theatre, Sherborne. - It would be injustice to pass in silence the masterly efforts of Mr.Turner's company of Comedians; there performances of last week attracted every night a respectable audience : the characters were happily chosen, and as ably supported. The whole went off with merited applause.
Melancholy Accident
A melancholy accident happened on Wednesday se'nnight, in one of the stone quarried of Swanage, Dorsetshire. Two men, of the names of Samuel Phippard and James Summers, went under in the morning to work, as usual; and, at the hour of dinner, a boy, that was accustomed to inform them of the time, went in, and seeing no light, nor hearing anyone answer to his call, returned and procured a light for himself, when, upon his re-entering, the first object that presented itself, though shocking to relate, was Phippard, with his head and one hand jammed between one of the pillars of the quarry and a huge block of stone that had fallen from the ceiling, dead. At that time the boy heard Summers, from under a vast quantity of stone and rubbish, exclaim, "Is that the light from Heaven ?" The boy, as may be supposed, was struck almost senseless with fright, and instantly ran out to procure assistance. - On some of the neighbours entering, they found Phippard as before described, and Summers confined under two large blocks of stone, that had formed an arch over him. The poor fellow was soon released from his awful situation, with two of his fingers nearly severed from his hand, and one of his legs broke. He recovered his senses in a short time, but died after about 36 hours. He said, that at the time of the quarry falling in, they both tried to escape, though in different directions, but neither was successful; and when he was under the stones, he called several times to Phippard, but not receiving any answer, he concluded he was dead. What makes the circumstance still more shocking is, that they were both married men. Phippard has left a wife and a very large family, and Summer's a wife and three children, to lament their untimely end.
Thursday se'nnight the dwelling-house of the Rev.Dr.Stakey, at Bromham, Wilts, was broken open and robbed of some silver table-spoons with a stork as the crest, and five unmarked tea-spoons.
Thirteen convicts, from Ilchester, were lodged in Fisherton Gaol on Thursday last, on their way to Portsmouth, for transportation; on the following day they were put on board the Captivity hulk in Portsmouth Harbour.
The following Commissions in the 4th Battalion of Wilts Local Militia, signed by the Lord Lieutenant, appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday last : - John Rock Grosett, Esq. to be Major; John Wavte[?] and Thomas Jenner, Esqrs to be Captains; John Hitchcock, John Frampton, David Lane, Henry Tuckey, William Walker, John Noyes, Henry Weaver, John Trougher Handy, Andrew Maris, and John Ferguson Hulbert, Gents. to be Lieutenants; John Walker, John Whittick, Thomas Alexander, William Wilmot, William Ricketts, Wm.Smith, Thomas Smith, and Wm.Nicholls, Gents. to be Ensigns.
