Letters from India by the Sarah Chrilliana, dated in September, (peak of the very bad markets which European articles had met with. Scarce a fhip that went nut under convoy of the ADAMANT would be able to lave herfelf from loft. The ADAMANT cap tured on her pafTage outward, a large Spanifh priva• teer ; nothing elle happened remarkable during the voyage. The markets at Madras were very much glutted: the China (hips were left there to make the moll of them. The other {hips proceeded to Diamond harbour. A firer of (hips were expeeted to rendez. vous at Madras, and fail for England about the toth of Odober. The Lady Jane, Bengal, Cafllereagh, and Hugh Ingle*, were ordered to proceed to Penang for troops, which were expelled by the China fleet. The Varunna, a country fhip, which failed with the expedition to the Cape, was miffing. It was feared the had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The fhip which carried the Chinefe fettlers to Tri. nidA, had on board a large quantity of piece goods, by, it is raid, the private l ermiffion of Government: but the naval officers commanding there, not being fatisfied with the kind of evidence produced by the Proprietors to this effee, feized the fhip and cargo, which were condemned, and fold very much under value, notwithftanding ftrong reprefeittations by the Advocate General. In a few days after, an Order in Council arrived from Britain, allowing the importa- tion, fo that the lots mull be made up by the country.

There Seffions commenced ye9erdav, before W. MAINWALING, Efq. and a full bench of bagillrates. Thomas Feather, the mailer of the Guildhall Coffee-houfe, was indidted for affaulting John Rae% a broker. On the day men tioned in the Indictment, the profecutor and his daughter were walking down Bunhill•row, when the defendant croffed the way, and (topped the profecutor, alking him whether he had not re• cently made ufe of his name in an improper manlier ? The prole. tutor anfwered that he bad, and with good reafon; on which the defendant laid—" b—ft your eyes, I'll knock your teeth down your throat." This menace he inftantly put in pradlice, by hit ting the profecutor on the chin with both his clenched fifts. The profecutor defended himfelf by retiring, and endeavouring to parry the defendant's blows, when he fell on his back, and hurt hWifelf extremely.—On his crofs•examinatlon, he Paid he had not had any intercourfe with the defendant for the laft four years, when be bad done tome bufincfs for him as a broker. The profecutor's daughter confirmed the above evidence. l'he defendant addreffed the Jury, Rating that the prof, eutor, inftead of being, as he had reprefented himfelf, a rilleßable broker, was merely a barter, and not entitled to belief, as he mould fpeedily demonftrate by two witneffes. Thefe witneffes were a ferjeant and a private, in one of the City Militia regiments, who were on guard at the Artillery Ground gate, in Bunbill-row. They pofitively (wore that the profecutor made theifvfl affault, and that be actually croffed the way in order to quarrel with the defendant. _ _ Mr. MA:Kw/mime; obferved, that the charge was ftrongly de nied; the Jury would therefore, by their verdiet, declare to which fide they thought the greatsft (hare of credit was due. The Jury acquitted the defendant. 4. Cam was indicted for a snifdemeanor, in having received a large quantity of iron (hovels, fpades, and pans, well knowing the fame to have been felonioully ftolen. Mr. ALLZT objedted to the ludidtnent, flaring that it contained. twenty counts, ten of them charging the articles as the property of Mr. Harman, of Bufh-lane, Cannon.ftreet, and the others charg ing the articles as the property of a firm at Birmingham. Mr. Alley therefore objeded to going into evidence, in regard to more than one tranfaetion at one time, contending, that if a contrary practice was fuffereal, the whole of a swan's life would thus be ren dered a fubjedt of dikuffion. Mr. CORNS, maintained that a diftiodion had been laid down by Mr. Baron HOTUAM, under the fandion of as great a lawyer as bad ever exiftcd, Lord Kenyon, which was, that in felony, there could be no accumulations of offences given in e—(donee, whereas, in tnifdemeanors, there might be Rated and proved, as many fcparate ads of delinquency as there were counts in the in didment. The Court held this to be the cafe in the prefcnt inftance. Evidence was then called, and Mr. Harman depofed that he was a wholefale dealer In articles of manufadured iron, in Beth lane, Cannon-ftreet. On the 3d of January fait, he dikovered that he bad been robbed by Byrne, his footman, through the afflitance of a feldier, named Nicholfen, who was employed in the manufac tory, and by Nicholfon's information he went with fume of the City and Weftminfter aims to the atop of the defendant in the Almonry, in an obfcure part ne..r the Abbey. The prifoner chewed his premiers very readily, and the profeeutor found a great number of his thovels and fpades. He found fome in a hay loft, bin they did .cot appear to be at all frcreted or concealed. It was next proved by Nicholfon, that he had repeatedly carried fuck articles from Eyre to the defendant, who always paid him lefs than the value of the goods, and always appeared eager to have more. After a fpeech from Mr. ALLEY in behalf of the defendant, and a charge from the CHAISMAN, the Jury hefitated fora few mi nutes, and returned a verdict of—Guilty. Sentence was not paired. An Eticusts BULL !—Every State Lottery Ticket drawn next Tuefday mull be a Prize, even if drawn a Blank ; and the Firfl•drawn Ticket will be entitled to mood. Thefe unufnal Fails, aided by the grand Scheme, which contains Four xo,oool.—Four to,oool. —Four 5,0001.—Ten,t,0001, &c. have been the cattle of the rapid demand for Tickets and Shares. ALL PRIZES THE FIRST DAY ! 1!—On the t4th of April the Lottery begins—the holder of the Full drawn Ticket mutt gain Twenty Thoufand Pounds, perhaps Thirty Thoufand ! ! The Tickets and Shares are on tale in great variety at SWIFT and Co.'s Offices, No. t 1, Poultry, and No. 12, Charing Crofs, where in the laft and preceding Lotteries, IS Capital Prizes from ao,oool. to I,cool. were fold, in upwards of 200 Shares. The announcement of the Lottery CommitEoners, of cutting cif, and depofiting in the wheels, the number;, &c. which form the fcheme of the State Lottery now fo near at iffue, ought to give alarm to all fuch as are nut yet in poffellion of Tickets or Shares, fince the fcheme is evidently and indifputa bly the molt opulent in capital Prizes, and interelting and advantageous in its mode of determination, of any that was ever corltudted. In truth, dilatory adventurers will very fpeedily be cut off themfelves from all opportunity of obtaining chances for the more momentous prizes. DORCHESTER ASSIZES. BAILIFF AND BURGESSES OF BLANDFORD V. TNI ItIT. GEORGE CHISHoEM, MASTER OF THE SCHOOL OF BLANDFORD. This was an alion of ejectment to recover the poi feffion of the School.houfe. Mr. BORROL/Gli Rated, that the cafe was fo plain and Pimple, that he was quite furptifed to fee his learned friend Mr. Scott, brought down from the Court of Chancery, upon a Special Retainer to defend it, at %; concluded there mull be fimething in the defendant's cafe of which he could form no idea. The plaintiff' cafe was this. In the year 1777 they granted the defendant a leate for feven years of this fchnol houfe, at 6s. Bd. a year, and the defendant had held over ever fince, and paid the rent of 6.. Bd. regularly. The Corporation about two yeas ago propofcd to Mr. Chilholm to take a new leak, which he refufed, and they ferved him with the ufual notice to quit, and were compelled to follow it up by bringing this adion. He then read Come letters written by the defendant, one declining to Ellen to the new terms that were propofed to him, and another written immediately after the fervice of the notice to quit, in which he maintained that the Corporation had no power to turn him out, and that "in imitatirn of their wife example, he proceeded to repel one folly by another, and accordingly gave them notice to quit all, and fineular the premifes called the town hall in Blandford." As to this School being an endowed School, Mr. Burrough contended there was not a pretence for it. The cafe was the common cafe of Landlord and Tenant, and nothing but the effeet of the comet that was now going round the world could make Mr Chifholm think of defend. ing it. The cafe was then proved, and the letters written by the defendant, and the payment of 6s. Bd. a year. Mr. SCOTT, on the part of the defendant, in a fpeech of above two hours, entered into the hiftory of the defendant's being appointed to this fchool—of the nature of the fchool itfelf—and of the pitiful origin of this unworthy aelion, and contended that the Corporation had no more right to difpoffefs the defendant of his houfe, than they had to take away the freehold eftate of any other man in the kingdom. The defendant he would prove to be a Clergyman of the greaten refpeetability, and eminently qualified for the important office that he had filled now for thirty years. In the year 1772 he had firft fettled at Bland ford, as ufher to this School, which, in confequence of neglect, bad fallen into total decay, infomuch that at Taft no boys were fent to the fchool at all. In 1777 the Corporation propofed to give Mr. Chintolm a leafe of the houfe for feven years, that he might en- deavour to recover the fchool. Mr. C. accepted the offer, and in a !bort time, by his diligence, learning, and charadler, recovered the fchool to fuch a degr ee that he had above eighty fcholars at one time. The defendant was then a very young man, ju ft come from College,and in the year 1780 he was ordained by the Bifhop of Briflol, upon which occafior the Bifhop in quiring of him where the defendant was fettled, alked him if he was licenfed to the office, and finding that he was not, recommended him to be licenfed imme• diately, as he would then be legally in his office, and it would be out of the power of the Corporation to difpoffcfs him of it. The defendant upon his return obtained from the Corporation a regular nomination of him to the office under their common teal, and figned by every one of them, and upon taking this to the Bifhop, his Lordllsip granted him the licence, which would be read to the Jury, in which they would find that the Bifhop had declared his confidence in the defendant's " fidelity, learning, true religion, and diligence," and recited that " he had been unani moully chofen and appointed to the office by the Cor poration of Blandford, according to the laws and Itatutes of this kingdom, and granted him licenfe and faculty to the faid office of Schoolmatter of the Gram mar School of Blandford, and to receive the [Upend or yearly falary due and accufiomed to be paid to the Mailer of the faid School, and all the rights and profits belongiog to the raid office." The defendant had continued in this offiCe with great reputation and fuccefs to the prefent time. About two years ago the Bailiff, Mr. Sollers, invited the cle`tridant to a converfation upon bufinefs, and then for the fira time propofed to him, to take a new leafe of the houfe, and told him that the Corporation mutt dir continue the 51. a year which they had always paid him, and requelled the defendant to fend him an anfwer in writing to his propofal, which produced the letter that had been read ; this was followed by the new terms propofed being fent to the defendant in writing, which were as follow—" To take the leafe of the houfe for feven years ; Mr. Chilholin to pay all taxes ; to keep the houfe in complete repair, in ternally and externally ; to white wafh the whole houfe once in three year., and to paint the houfe on the outride once in three years ; not to let lodgings on any pretence. As the funds of the Corporation will not allow them to continue the 51. per annum, ufually-paid to the Mailer of the School, it will be difcontinued ; and the houfe tax mult alto be paid by the Mailer. At the expiration of the leafe, the honfe and out buildings to be left in complete repair ; and during the term of the leafe, the houfe to be always open to the infpeftion of the Corporation, on their giving notice to examine into its Rate." Thefe terms the defendant peremptorily refufed to accede to, and was immediately ferved with a notice to quit, and being a man of great good humour, as well as an excellent fcholar, he returned them the notice to quit, and deliver up to the inhabitants all and fingular the Town Hall .of Blandford, which the Jury had heard. This notice had produced the fame effed in the town of Blandford, that it had done to the prefent audience, infomuch, that a hanger paffing through Blandford the next day, and enquir ing his way to Dorcheiler, could find nobody to give him an anfwer ; he found every body reading a paper, and hurtling out in a !lode laugh, except a few perfons, who, he fuppofed, were Members of the Corporation, who walked about with their eyes fixed on the ground, fo that this Itranger had fpread a report at Dorchefler, that the greater part of the town of Blandford were laughing mad, and the tell melancholy mad. The defendant had confulted Mr. SCOTT upon filing an information in the .Court of Ctrarcery, and he had drawn the bill ; but the de fendant being Tearful of leaving a Chancery fuit to his children, had determined to defend this a' ion among his neighbours, and had d o ne Mr: SCOTT the honour to reptile this confidence in him. He corn mewed with much feveitty upon the thie,t of dif [ urn cur,
