P. bee dtc. " Stratton ftreet, June 6." Mr. BENG'S DINNER.—A numerous meeting of the Freeholders of Middlefex, in the inlereft of Mr. BywG, took place yeflerday, at the Mermaid, Hack. ney. Thenumberot Freeholders amounted to between three and four hundred.—i he King—The Prince of IV a le r —1 he .Queen —and Royal Family ; were drank with every mark of applaule. Mr. TUFFNEL (the Chairman), rofe, and adverted to the threat of diffolutinn ttat had been held out againfl the Houle of Commons during the raft Par- liament, unlefs they fupported the fehemes of the Mi nifty. The Houfe had too much good fenfe to fopport them in the manner they wi(bed, and Parliament was confequently difrolved. The ridiculous cry of I% o Popery had been railed by the Miniflets, to favour their own private intereas. But this had been of any fervice only where the people were too ignorant to deteCt the fallacy. It had availed nothing in the county of Middlefex. He ftrongly cenfured the c in duet of many of the Minillers, who were themfelves fully fenfible of the hypocritical nature of this cry— (loud applaufe.) Mr. Byng, he obferved, had been one of the moll Deady and confilient fupporters of that fyflem of politics which was confonant to the fpirit of the Conftitution. In that relpeet few had equalled him—none had fur paired him—(applaufe.)— Be concluded by propofing as a coati, Mr. Byres Health, and the Whig Intereft of Middlefex. This was drank with the molt enthuliaflic applaule. Mr. BYNG then rofe. He was confident, he ob• frved, that the Meeting would du juflice to his feelings on this occafion, though be had no: words to exprefs them. Among the various and repeated _marks of their friendfhip that he had expo fenced, he was at no time more gratified than by that which was given him on a recent occation (appiauft), when they had, with a manlinefs and good fenfe worthy of themfelves, fet at nought the hypocritical cry of -4 No Popery,' which had been railed by the Miniflers for the worn of purpoles. This cry had had a partial effeet in fome other places lefs enlightened than the County of Middlefex—lefs petfeel in their own duties, - and, therefore, lefs tolerant to others (loud and reittr • end applaufe ) While Me reprefented them they might be at tired that he would pay the proper attention to the loCal interefls of the County—that he would not take the fide of the most powerful, becaufe it was the volt powerful, hut would fupport all of them in their title to the benefits of our Conflitution, which they bad all a right to espeEt and to enjoy (ardent applaufe.) ; He declared hirrfelf a determined fupporter of the prerogative of the Crown—Ent he was alio a zealous defender of the rights and liberties of the people— ' becaufe no country had ever been great and giro ioo -. In which thefe were not refpefted (applaufe). TLefe were his principles, and he hoped they would always find him heady to them. He had, therefore, the bell grounds for confiding In their fupport on every (Tea lion, fince they mull be convinced, if they fufliciently undertlood their own intereas, that his caufe and theirs were the fame. This addrefs was received by the louder' applanfes. The Health of the Committee who conducted Mr. Byng's Eleetion, was then propofed by the Chairman, and received with marks of the higheft approbation. Mr. Burt; one of the Committee, made an appropriate fpeech, which was received with applaufe. The glorious and immortal Memory of Mr. Fox, was drank with appropri .te veneration and filence. 'lle Health of the Freeholders wbo fupported Mr. Byng at the laft Eleetion, was then drank with fuitable approbation. A Military Band played during the time of dinner, and Mr. Gibbon, Mr. Allen, &c. &c. lung fevetal excellent and appropriate longs, and the utmoll har vnony and conviviality prevailel throughout the eve ming. There is too much reafon to fear that we (hall hear to more of the BLENHEIM man of war. A letter from an officer on board the HARRIER {loop of war, at the Cape of Good Hope, intimates that both the BLENHEIM and JAVA have perithed. The following account is extrafted from this inteteding letter, dated Table Bay, Match ti,— . On the eft of February, off Mauritius, in long. 64. it. lat. 20. 21. we experienced molt dreadful weather, which I fear has proved fatal to the Blenheim and Java. Early its the morning of the 'kit came on to blow feel, and inereafed to a hard gale about four o'clock in the afternoon. We loft fight of the Blenheim and Java, which were not more than a mite from us. The night was dreadful beyond defeription. It blew a r erica hurricane, with a molt tremendous lea. We Chippcd a great quantity of water; every lea broke elireelly over the veffcl, and the rolled fo much, that it was n ith difficulty the people could Rand on deck. If we' attempted to Phew an inch of fail, it was blown from the yard One poor fellow was blown off Its the afternoon ; we law him at interv..t, a long way aftcrn, fttugglioz w.th the waves. During the ni k ;ht the ports were Rove in, ..:4 wafted away, and great quantities of water ran below. A. little before day-light a lea Bruck her,and immediately afterwards another, which laid her dead in the water. She had broached to, and was going down a head. Shc remained water-logged for fume mieutes ; and, had the been (truck a third time the mutt have g me. We threw overboard four guns and fome ftorcs. which lightened her. Du ri e g the :joie fhe was water logged the water increafcd in the well, in the (pace of three feconds, from twelve to thirty two inches. We had continued bad weather afterwards, but arrived here on the aBth of February, rod were much difappointed in not finding either the Elenheim or Java; and as they have not f u see been heard of, whilft other veffels that were in the gale have arrived, there is now no hope of their Way. The Blenheim was in a very decayed Rate. and much lumbered with Rotes ; the Java badly manned, and extremely crank. There were between fiven and eight hundred fouls on buird the Blenheim,with many paffengers. Molt of the Midfhip men were young men of the firft families in .El:4land, and lonic very worthy fellows, who W4A11.1 X. a future time have done he sour us tbi.ir cousiLry."

The Ki'ng's turveyors have been employed to ellimate the value of the houfe, offices, garden, &c. and they have rated the whole at 30001. per annum. The indent. Duke has been informed he may have a renewal at that rent. Sundry afternoon, on the road leading to Highgate, a Mifs Wilton and a Mils Simpfori were overturned in a curricle. There was a fervant in a box behind, and Mifs Wilton was driving a fpirited !yule at a great rate. On the other tide of Ifl:ngton, the off rein, by which the bode was guided. very unfurtt:• nately became unbuckled, and the lituation of the Ladies was then defperate. The animal, in conk quence of their shrieks, it is fiappofed, flarted uff at fall (peed towards Highgate, and the fervant, with •he utmoil difficulty, alighted from behind ; but lie was unable to keep pace with the horfe ; the carriage was at length violently overturned, by which Mifs Wilfon, betides having received bruifes, which alone were fufficient to deprive her of life, had her arm broken, and her head fra&ured. This young Lady was from the North, and had come to London on a visit to rime relations, who lived near Moorfields.— The other Lady being clofe to the upper fide of the carriage, when it overturned, doped without any feriuus injury. • 1044.17',VAL .

Wl4 ITEC HAP . k L OFFlca.—Bryant and Carrick, the two men who wet c applehended tome Ihort time !ince, and who underwent a ptivate examinaticin at• thji office on Wednefday te'noight, up , :n a charge of hav ing robbed the Bt itlol wagtzon about 4 fortnight ago in High Holborn, and deiparaiafy wounded a watch. man, and feveral other perfuns who attempted to take them into cuitody, were again brought up for further private examination yellerdsy, as were alas two other ptifoners, named Fisch and lona, who were avreliended at their lodgings ia Robert's-place, Commercial Road, Whitechapel, on Sunday morning felt, a> aczomplire• in the fame felony, and in conic. quence, of time difcoveties made upon the examina tioh of the former prifoners. "f he examination of the whole, yeller day, wa; pri- Cate, no perfon being admitted hot the police officers and neceffary witneffes ; 'and continued nearly three hours. _ _ It tranfptred, however, di it the waggoner perfectly recognizes each of the p trtis charged. The two tali mentioned prif ,ners, Finch and Jones, were not fe• cured without a defperate refinance. In confcquence of the private intimation received refpeeting their haunt, Griffiths, and a Marty of other p lice officers, proceeded to Itobeit's place on Saturday night to re• connoitte, and remained upon the watch there the whole night, in hopes of being able to entrap their men upon their recut n homewards ; but they did not quit their hiding place. At half pall ten, on Sunday morning. they made feveral attempts, fird by Ilrata• gem, and next by toice, to enter the houfe ; hut were fired upon from the windows by one of the ptifoners. The cfficers returned the fire, which was for Come time mutually kept up, and Gtiffiths, the leader of 1 1 the police party, had his cheek grazed by a ball After feveral attempts to fume the dsor, the police officers at length obtained admittance ; and after a very dating refinance, fecured the prifoners, and brought them in cullody to the thong room behind the police office. They are old and notorious defperadoes, and Finch has lately returned from tranfportaticn, bt.fore the expiration of his fentence. The further examination of the prifoners was defer. red to the latter end of the week. Ye day a recruiting foje :nr, named Conway. watt c mmitted to Clericenwell Plifon fri,m Hatimi G A r. den, ged with cutting two rnzn with a (word in Charlotte buildingr, Gray's Inn Lane. On Frithy afternoon as a wherry with two perfons in it was attempting to board a G. avefend boat in the River, off Bbckwall, it was upfet, and the two perns with difficulty laved by boats that put off to their allidance. A poor woman was taken nut of a ditch drowned, on Satursily evenir•,„ at HollowAy, on the road to Hornfey ; the appeared to have been a haymaker. and to have been but a few hours in the water ; feveral bruites appeared on her arms. Medical aid was procu: zd, but too late to be (.1 rife. Or T:londay laft the body of Mr. David Butter of Spaff firth, was taken ant of the Owe, near the ;,ridge, i'otk. This unfottunate perf-n had atten ded there to exercife his e!edive tranchife. and had been milling from his inn ever lince the 28 , h of May ; from the appearance of the body, the furgenn at &It t'iought that fame external violence mull have b-en i i fbeted upon it, but he was aftersvalAs of npiai:ut, that the appearances might have been produced by a fall. 'rhe following very melancholy and deplorable accident happened un Tuefday, at the Marquis of Bath's feat at Longkat :—A failing beat h •vi ,g been pr•rzhaled at Pot ttmouth, was bronght dawn --(li the lake at L ngleat, tinder the car e (it a i c ,, and was rigged and fitted out under his dilemion He had employed more than ten days in making 'he necelfary preparations, and the lauoch took pl-ice Tuefday. It was then intended to work her u her anchorage in the middle of the water, when di, unfortunately upft t. There were five perfons in :,er, viz. the failor, another man who had formerly been in the tea feivi:e, a labourer and his fon, and Mr. Wade, the principal artificer at Longleat. A boat, with feveral perfons in her, followed elate, to afford any affillance that might be required, and conning immediately to the fpot, took tip the labourer's fon. Another boat which was at a dittance, came up and laved the labourer; but the two feamen and Mr. Wade were unfortunately drowned. Mr. Wade has left a wife and eight children. Fla ss. —Saturday morning, about five o'clock, as Mr. Knight, green grocer, of Butcher-hall lane, Newgare Itreet, was going to market, he obferved flames iffuing from the (hop of Mr. Roebuck, drug gill, in that place. Mr. K. immediately gave an alarm, when Mr. Roebuck defcctried from the fe cond flaor, but finding his utmolt efforts of no avail, he retained to aflitt his site. By this rime, however, the fiie, the violence of which was increafed by a quantity of camphor, and other inflammable matter, had caught the flail cafe, and rendered egret's that way imptaOicable. In this dilemma, as the belt refource, he fapended, her from the window by his arms, from whence flue dropped and was caught. unhurt, in thofe of four men, who formed a circle for that purpofe. Mr. R. then, by the help of fome proje(ting bricks, let hinifelf down to the firft fl or, from which he dropped and was caught in like man ner, but with fume contufions. When the alarm was firft given, fume perfons attempted to procure the fire ladders, but they were fattened to the church wall by two ftrong padlocks, and before the keys could be procured the hazardous experiment had been tried. We hope this will occafion fome means to be adopted of tacilitating the acquirement of there ufeful implements. The interior r f the houfe, together with the furniture and flock in trade, were totally de ftroyed ; and the houfe of Mr. Proftor, glazier, ad joining, damaged. Sunday morning, about two o'clock, an alarm ing fit- broke out in the premitec of MI. Hager, fugar refiner, in Great Garden-fireet. Wh;techapet stoad, which burnt with preat fury for fame time ; and the whole of the interior of the building, toge ther with the valuable Rock of fugar, w-re dell • ycd; but by the timely arrival of feveral engines, and ac tivity of the firemen, the flames were got under, without doing any other material injury.
