We infert the following, in addition to that we gave yeilerday refpeßing the combination of ihip wrights and riot On Saturday morning a riot took place at Meirrs. RANDALL and Balmy's (hip yard. Some hundreds of the thipwrights, in de fpite of the remonftrances of the proprietors, and refinance of tome peace officers, drove away the ihipwrights fent from the King' s y ards . Mr. HAIL. aim., a Magiftrate from the Thames Police Office, went immediately down, and read the Riot Aft. He repeatedly cantioned them to depart during the facceeding hour, at the end of which, on his afuring them he mull order Tome of them into eullody, they told the Magillrate he had not force enough. Upon this Mr.llataiorr, taking only fintr conftables with him, went among the remain. ing rioters, and took two of the moil refolute into cuilody. Great numbers of the rioters followed, calling out, and threatening a rercue ; but by the &ninth of the Magiftrate who attended the Peace Officers in concluding the prifoners, they were taken to the Thames Police Office, where, after a long examination before the faid Magiiirate and Mr. BRAGGE, they were committed to Sorry gaol to take their trial for this ferious offence. A party of foldiers were afterwards fent down to aid the Peace Officers, if yieceirary; and Mr. GRAHAM, from Bow-Rreet, attended with them." On Sunday the party of Guards and Light Dragoons, as well as the Police officers, remained at the houfe of Mr. Brent, and the neighbotrhood of Greenland Dock, but every thing remained per (tidy quiet, and no inclination appeared on the part of the men to airemble or to behave in a riot ous manner. Mr. GILANAPI, the Magiiirate from Bow-ftreet, forefeeing it to be very unlikely to fettle the bufinefs wholly by coercion, and wifhing to make hinifelf perfeetly mailer of the queflion at iffue between the mailers and the men, called a meeting of the mailers on Sunday evening at Mr. Wells' houfe, and about (even of them met him, and after hearing their cafe and their ideas as to bringing the bulinefs to an amicable fettle-1 meat, he found they had no idea of bringing the men back to their duty but wholly by coercion, which he condemned in the ftrongeft terms, and recommended a friendly meeting to take place be tween them and the men, and moil judicioufly of fered to be the arbitrator, which was very proper ly accepted by the mailers. A deputation was appointed, and a joint meet ing held yefterday morning, at the Acorn public bode, between (even and eight o'clock, at which Mr. GRAHAM, agreeable to promife, prefided. It was with the greateft difficulty he could keep or der, as both fides were very violent in their charges again( each other ; but at length after a good deal of trouble, he got to underhand the cafe more than each party bad done. The cafe appeared to be, that during the war there was fo much work for Chip builders, that there was no regular rule by which they worked, but the matters waited to have as much work done as they could pollibly get executed, and encourag ed their men to work by the piece, fo that frequent ly they earned (even or eight (billings a day. On the return of peace, the I:onlines began to (lacken, the matters propofcd to the men to return to the plan of paying by the day, as before the war, at the rate of 3c. Gd. a day, which t; e men agreed to, pr ovided they were permitted to work extra hours, In as to make their pay Amount to ss. a day, which was rehired by the mailers, they not seasic k% any extra work performed. The men then ropofed to have ss. a day, and work during the light winter and rummer ; but the mailers refuted to confent to this, furpeeting if they admitted the =- principle of ss. a day , that the men in the ( mer, after working twelve hours, would demand the extra hours; but had never explained their apprehenfious to the men. And here biased the qu alon which has been the caufe of every thing unpleafant that has taken place, for on Mr, GIAHAM putting the queftion to the matters as to the ss. a day, he found they had no °Nation to accede to the propofition, except in as far as ex Ira charges might have followed upon it from rh men. The deputation from the men eared the Magiftrate and their mailers that none of the men had ever entertained any fuch idea. The worthy Magikate Imin (waded in bringing the par. as , - - -, ties to an underftanding, inavutted the deputation to obtain in the courfe of the day the fentiments of the general body. It was between eight and nine o'clock laR night before they returned with the anfwer, when they waited upon Mr. GRAHAM at Mr. Wells's l u m'e, who was attended by Meirrs. Wells, Brent, Deadman, Barnard, and the other principal builders. The deputation reported that they had confulted the general body, who direaed them to agree to the terms propofed of ss. a day. The Magistrate informed them on behalf of the mailers, that in agreeing to this, it mull be per. leafy underßond, that the men mull return to their duty ; and as a pledge of this difpofition, the iix men compofing the deputation thould return to their work this morning ; which they, without the leap het - nation, Attired the Magistrate they would; at the fame time, they wifhed to make a condition, that they thould not work with the men from the King's yards ; and that the men who had been ap prehended timid_ not be profecuted. Mr. GRAHAM .informed them it was impollible for the quef tion, whether the men who came from the King's Yards (horrid be then difmifred, to be then coati. dered ; and as to the queltion rcfpaling the men not being profecuted, they committed a moll hei nous crime, by continuing atrembled in a riotous and tumultuous manner after the Riot A.f had been read ; they were in the hands of the law, and they mull take the due courfe. This appeared to fatisfy them, and they retired promifing to return to their work. The favourable turn to this un pleafant bufinefs was fent off erprefs by Mr. GR ANA ti, by one of the Light Honk, to the Lords of the Adm;ralty. The difpute with the Caulkers Rill remains with out being in the leaf} train of fettlement. Yellerclay a warrant was itrued upon informa tions againft a number of them as ringleaders in the riot of Saturday morning ; but they all creep ed the vigilance of the officers, except one of the name of Carpenter, who offered bail, but on his fureties appearing before the Magiftrate, the re cognizances required, being himfelf in tool. and two fureties in col. each, the fureties declined be ing bound in fuch large turns ; he was committed to Dartford gaol. Yefterday morning , between fifty and tiny men from the King's Dock Yards of Chatham and Sheernefs, went to work in the yards of Meas. Brent, Wells, and Deadman, and laft night be tween thirty and forty more arrived. • We have to lament that this very unpleafant bufinefs has deprived the world of a very worthy member of fociety, in the fudden death of Mr. Randall, the proprietor of the yard where the riot was, who was in perfeEt health on Saturday. He addreffed the men and pointed out to them the impropriety of their condua, but they paid little attention to his remonarances. Mr. R. was a vtty nervous man, and the riot and violent proceedings of the day agitated him very much ; he went home to his houfe in Great Cutnberland•flreet, Oxford-fireet—medical alEllance was fent for, and he was found to be in an alarming fever. His malady continued till about nine o'clock yeflerday morning, when he died. On the melancholy news arriving at Greenland Dock (fp univerfally be lond was he) alma every body was in tears Mr. Brent, his partner, ordered his houfe to be (but up, and all was difmay. The men who were the moll forward in abufing him on Saturday, were affeaed with the tirongett grief and remark. The powder•mills near Cork blew up on Thurf day fe'nnight with a molt tremendous explofion, by which unfortunate accident 7 men loft their lives. Friday fennight, about one o'clock in the morn• ing, the powder•mills at Haviefton, ten miles fouth of EJinburgb, were difcovered to be on fire, and are totally confumed. Two heavy loaded ca&s of gus-powder had been fortunately removed the day before. We hear of no lives being loft. A millwright, at Doncaller, was tome days fince entangled in the works of a flour-mill, in that town ; and although his right foot was tewn off, one of his arms broken, and otherwife crat ed in a horrid manner, he is likely to live. Lail Friday the Coroner's Inqueft fat on the body of Henry Wilfon, who fell from the rigging of a Ihip off Pelican-(lairs, Wapping, when he was immediately killed. Verdict, " Accidental death." Saturday the body of a lad floated on Shore at Bell Wharf, Shadwell, and was taken to the Bone houfe to be owned; from its putrid flaw, it ap peared to have been in the water a confiderable length of time. On Monday fe'nnight Mr. Thomas Norris, of Tauntnn, printer and bookfeller, went to the river to bathe, when it is fuppofed he was feized with the cramp, as he could fwim, and was drowned : his little boy, who was with him, and faw him go down, immediately ran to the town for affillance, but it was too late. Oa Fri'lay taft Samuel Dyke, one of the work. men at the Linen Fatiory belonging to Meflis. Benyons, Martha% and Bage, while bathing in the river Severn, near Routhilt Walls, was drowned. LaR week• as the Melt fon of the Rev. Mr. Gill, of Scraptoft, Nottingliamfbire, aged 19, was bath ing with fome of his companions in the Trent, which he had croffed, on his return his Rrength failed him, and he was drowned. Mr. Rudd, late of Old-fireet, died at Dudding ton, near Stamford, on Tuefday ; a Coronet's nquell was infiirnzed, and on a view of the body, returned a verdid, g , accidentally killed by a piftol shot." A few days ago Edward Clarvis, Pun Clerk of Wintringham, in Lincolnfhire, attending the fulemnization of a marriage in that church, drop- Fed down while pronouncing the word Amen, near the clofe of the ceremony, and inftantly ex. pired. On the 6th init. Andrew Bryane, of Lympfione, labouring under a mental derangement, went off from that village unnoticed ; every pollible en quiry was made after him in vain, until he was found dead by the feu fide, near Otterton, (up poted to have been starved. ASSIZES, WA At Exeter Affixes, a writ of enquiry of damages was executed before the Sheriff and a very refpeet able Jury of that place, wherein Mifs Ann Freke was plaintiff, and Mr. R. Anderton, furgeon, was defendant. The caufe of anion was a breach of promife of marriage ; and the defendant having let judgment go by default, it was for the Jury to af fels fuch damages as it might appear the plaintiff had fultahr:d; when, after a long hearing. Mr. EDWARD GATTEY, the Under Sheriff, having re capitulated the whole of the evidence, the Jury withdrew for a lhort time, and brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, damages Five Hundred Pounds. The allizes for the county of Devon Sniffled onl Saturday, when W. Hockaday and M. Jewell, for a burglary, and J. Pollard, for forging a Letter of Attorney, received fentence of death, and were left for execution. Several other prifoners re ceived a fimilar fentence for different offences, but were reprieved. At the affixes for Hereford, there were 111 pti rollers fur trial, three of whom, E. Penny and J. Morgan, for flopping W. Jedkins on the highway, and robbing him of a handkerchief, hat anu t sis 6d. in money ; and John Burties, for flealing a watch from R. Paytherus, on the huftings, at the late Leominlier eleCtion, received fentence of death, but were all reprieved before the Judges left the town. J. Teague, for altering four drafts of the Brecon Bank, from the film of tol. to Sol. each, was found uilty, and his cafe left for the opinion of the 12 Judges. J. Hunt, for having in his poffeflion, and uttering, knowing them to be forged, two Bank of England notes, of 11. and 21. value, was fen tenced to be tran fported for 14 years. At Warwick Affixes P. Milward was capitally convicted of treafonably having in his poffeffion the dies of a 7 &Ming piece; J. Hall, for a burglary ; W. Horne, for flealing a lamb; and T.

Lees, for divers fe lonies, to be tranfported for 7 years. There was but little band's at the Nifi Prins Bar, which was finiffied on Tuefday evening. At Coventry Affixes G. Docker and R. Temple. ton were convided of flealing lead from the White Friars, and fentenced to 7 years tranfportation. At the Affixes for the town of Newcaflle only one perfon was found guilty, viz. William Towns, charged with haling feveral filk handkerchiefs, fome velvets, &c. R. Murton, and R. Slade, in the county, charged with manflaughter, were fenten ced to fix months imprifonment. On Saturday lag, as a waggon loaded with hay, the property of Mr. Cox, at Harrietfham, was on its way to Maidilone, the driver being thirliy, ;lop ped at the Roebuck public•houfe a few minutes to get a pint of beer; in coming out of the houfe he dilcovered the bay to be on fire, and immediately took his horfes out, but before that could be effeel ed, the greater part of the bay was confumed.— The accident, it appears, was occationed by one of the wheels taking fire, being in want of greafing. Saturday, at noon, a poor woman with a load, coming from Spitalfields market, was thrown down by a cart which was palling near Sun-greet, one of the wheels going over her, by which acci dent one of her arms was fradured. She was conveyed to the hofpital. Friday as a fellow was teazing an over-drove ox in Holborn, the animal fuddenly plunged forward among the crowd colleaed, knocked down a poor boy and broke his arm, befides treading out the eye of a fecond perfon who came in contaa with his rage. Saturday evening as Wm. Hull was thatching a hayrick in a field adjoining Pinford-lane, near Sherton, the ladder on which he hood being placed by the fide of a ditch, it gave way, and he fell into the mud, by which he was furocated be fore any effeelual relief could be afforded him. Lag week, as three men were endeavouring to prop up an immenfgly large gone in one of the c'al-pits on Shire Moor, it fell and crated them all to death. . . At Camberwell fair on Friday, a merchant's clerk in the City was robbed of his pocket-book, containing Bank notes to the amount of 401. EXTRAORDINARY RORIERT.--Acircumftance as fingular and extraordinary as it is wicked and atm. cious, occurred on Wednefday tall, in the parifh of Sr. Andrew's, Holborn ; it (hews that Tome dark deed is working, which probably this publi cation may defeat :—A young woman, genteelly 41reired: went to the workbook •f St. Andrew's narifh, and applying to the Overfeers, defired to know whether they could provide a wet-nurfe for a Lady of confiderable rank and fortune. They informed her there was a young woman who bad hell lain in of a fi ne healthy child t It was (hewn er; 4he praifed its beauty, obferved it was a lovely infant, and that the mother of fuch a fweet child was, no doubt, exaCtly the perfon the Lady want ed. She Paid (he would inform the Lady and call again. She returned in the evening, again kiffed and praifed the child, and requeßed prmillioa to take it to (hew the Lady, who was waiting near the place in her carriage. The child was intrufted to her care, but the never afterwards made her ap pearance with it. Every fearch and inquiry was made, but without effeCt; no clue prefented itfelf to the difcovery of who The was, and the whole affair is wrapt in myttery and conjecture. The unfortunate mother has ever fence been in a Rate bordering upon diffradion. Friday John Jones, for uttering c )unterfeit pro milfory notes, and Charles Allmond, for affirming the name of Henry Jones, a feaman, with intent to defraud him of his prize money, were executed at Penenden-heath, purfuant to their fentence at the haft Maidftone Affixes.
