MALICIOUSLY SETTING FIRE TO THE WIL LIAM MONEY EAST INDIA MAN, sr :az LASCARS. The following is the copy of a letter addressed by Captain Jackson, of Calcutta, to the owners of the Wil liam Money East lndiaman, in London : " Catetrrra, Malicia 10, 11121. 66 My dear Friend—All is well; but the William Money has had a narrow escape. The blarine Register is given up, and the Lascars are resorting to their old tricks. On the sth of this month the ship left Diamond Harbour, loaded with Government stores, and some hundreds of large bullock pads for the army at R la goon. On the 7th I received the following letter from Captain Chime :—' Yesterday, at two o'clock P.m. in an instant the whole of our oriop deck was in a blaze, which providentially, by the greatest exertion of my officers and such part of the crew as I could lay hands on. we extinguished in half an hour, without the least injury to our ship. Nearly 100 of the bullock pads were thrown overboard in flames. My side and leg are cinsiderably wounded, but not dangerously. On ex amination it appears, that the Honourable Company's bullock pads had been cut open, and fire balls introduced by the Lascars. Sentries are now placed at every hatch• way, and I do not allow the Lascars to quit the deck night or day. except in winking our cabl s. You may be assured of every attention on my part. I I ant, &c. I G. CHIENIE.' 4 4 It is an old trick of the Lamm; many cotton ships have been set on fire in the same way. On explanation of the above at Lloyd's, I do hope the underwriters will in some way mark their appro bation of conduct so highly meritorious oo the pall of Captain Chieme and his Officets ; and, indeed. had not Captain Chieme brought the ship round to Calcutta when he did, the ship's repairs would have seriously Increased. He is, in truth, a deserving man. " I am. &c. " J. JACKSON." " To the Owners of the William Money." r FRACAS AT CHELTENHAM. FROM THE oLoucestra AND CHELTENHAM HERALD. Mr. K—, who is a Lieutenant in one of his Ma jesty's regiments of foot, and has been quartered in this city about two years, on a professional service, went, six months ago, accompan'ed by his Lady and their youngest child, to reside at a Hotel and Boarding- House, where, on the 26th of last July, a Gentleman of the name of B—, who lives near London, and is a friend of Mr. K.'s, also took up his temporary abode, having with him Mrs. B—, and one of their sons, his carriage, horses, and coachwork On Tuesday, the 22d of August, both the Gentlemen adverted to were absent from the Hotel. and did not return at the usual dining hour of five; but Mrs. K— and Mrs. B— being together, the waiter of the Hotel, and one of the sons of the landlord, brought up the dinner. As the Gentlemen were not arrived, Mrs. K— directed them to take it down again, and stay a little ; then shortly afterwards rang the bell, and ordered it to be replaced upon the table, conceiving that the Gentlemen ought no longer to be expected. This com mand the waiter absolutely refused to perform ; and when 'Mr. K— and Mr. B— returned, about ten o'clock at night, to the Hotel, with a friend, in whose society they had passed the afternoon, Mrs. K— complained to her husband of the waiter's disrespectful conduct. Mr. K rang the bell for him, and when he entered the room expressed his surprise that the Ladies should have been insulted. An altercation then arose, and Mr. K— admits pushing the waiter out of the apartment, in consequence of his alleged refusal to leave it. The door, we are assured, was then shut, and the dispute considered to be at an end; but the waiter raised a cry of "Murder I" upon his expulsion, and a party of seven persons (including the constable, who carried his staff,) burst into the room, furnished with bludgeons, a drawn sword, two loaded pistols and handcuffs. Mr. K—, on the spur of the moment, possessed himself of the poker, but was prevented from using it, as his ser vant maid, who happened to be in the room, fearing that mischief would ensue, grasped his arm, while the parties he was preparing to oppose rushed forward and overpowered him. Mrs. K— sustained some injuries in endeavouring to get between her husband and his assailants, and so extreme was the terror which both Ladies soon experienced, that neither Mr. B—, nor the friend who had returned with him, could take any part in the contest, from the necessity of soothing their particular injury. From this spot the party were then agitation. Mr. K— having been forced down stairs, the party, inclusive of the ladies, were led through the streets, and taken to a lock-up house, adjoining the city gaol, the keeper of which would not consent to receive them. Here, while Mr. 13— was demanding to be admitted, and protesting against being dragged about the streets, the constable struck him severely across the right arm with his staff, slightly or unintentionally, as he says, but with such vi•Jence, as to infl ct one of the most frightful bruises. The whole party were then conducted to the house of a constable in Littleworth, where the friend of Mr. K— and Mr. B— procured a Gentleman to answer for his appearance before the Magistrate. and then removed the Ladies to a place of shelter. Their husbands were 11-pt in custody all night, and subsequently bound over, with their companions, upon a charge of assault preferred against them by the waiter. Or the other hind, t' e waiter and his asso crates have been similarly bound over to the Sessions, for assaults upon Mrs. K. and each of the Gentlemen. Accounts have been received from Mexico to the mid dle of July. The Government of that State has thrown a very serious impediment in the way of the shipment cf specie to England. An order, apparently unexpected, was issued, by which no house at Vrra Cruz was allowed to export silver, if they were indebted to the Govern ment fur any import duty on goods, for which it has been usual lately to give credit till the goods were sold. An Inquest was held at the Crown and Anvil, in Swan•street, Minories, on the body of B. Solomon:, aged 84, who was well known at the Coffee-houses about the Exchange as a vender of razors, pencils, am Th e de• ceased was a few days since crossing Cornhill, when he we- knocked down by a horse, which was in a cart dri ven in a furious manner by Leicester, who is now in custody. Mr. Kisch, a surgeon of Mansell street, described the injuries received by the deceased, who had been s.nne time in a declining state, as merely superfi cial, but not having opened the body, the Inquest was adjourned till yesterday, when the surgeon stated, that be had opened it in the presence of his son and Dr. Dodd, and that they were unanimously of opinion that he died a natural death. The Coroner remarked with severity on the furious mode of driving now so common in the City, and expressed his wonder that accidents were not" thereby rendered more frequent. It was for the Jury to consider whether to return a Verdict of Manslaughter, or Died by the Visitation of God, and after an bout's deliberation, they returned the latter. EXECUTION OF THE CONSPIRATORS AT ST. PETERSEURGH. ZITRACT or A PRIVATZ TAMIL CRONSTADT MOULD, Jinx se. The criminals implicated in the late attempt at revo lution and murder were finally disposed of on Tues. day, the 25th instant. Those belonging to the sea service, all Officers, consequently of noble families, were brought down in steam vessels, and taken on board the Valdimer, flag ship of Admiral Crown, lying in Cronstadt Roads (fifteen in number), when their sen tences of death were read to them, but commuted by the Emperor. After sentence being read, they were script of their uniforms, and then their clothes thrown into the sea, their swords broken over their heads, coarse canvass dresses put on them, heavily ironed, and then immediately sent off to work in the mines in Siberia for life, excepting one, who is to serve in the fleet as a common sailor during his life. At St. Petersburgh, on the same morning, the execution by hanging (a mode of punishment heretofore unknown in this country) of the following Officers took place. At three in the morn ing, the 121 prisoners were brought out behind the fortress, where a fire was lighted; those five who were to suffer were then undressed, and all their uniforms, hats, epaulets, &c. thrown into the fire and consumed, their swords broken over their heads—when that was done, 116 were taken back to the fortress, and the re ntaining five, Alexander Restoujeff, Rylieff, Mom avieff, Pestal, and Katrovsky walked up to a sort of scaffold, built on the top of the batteries near the fortress; the trumpets, drums, and music began to make a dreadful noise; they were dressed all in white, with a large black plate on their breasts, with their names and crime in yellow letters. Pestal walked up first, and the others followed ; the ropes were soon arranged, and at half. pact four the drop fell, but three of the ropes b:eaking, three of them fell to the ground. People were imme diately sent up to put new ropes, which took about ten minute.% before they were ready, and during that time, the unfortunate criminals saw their two companions hanging before them—they walked up again as before, but one could hardly move, and he was assisted—the drop soon fell again with the three last, and they were soon put out of their misery. Tie bodies hung till half past five, when they were cut d )wn by some common cattcrsnicks (Anglice, police soldiers), and what became of their bodies no one knows. The scaffold was en tirely broken to pieces, and burnt on the place where their uniforms had been consumed. It is said those five all kissed each other before they went up, and said the Emperor had behaved well, but that they deserved ano- I ther kind of death. Rylieff was one of those that fell, and he observed, on returning, that their falling was a great proof, that, as Officers, "they ought to have been shot, and nit hung. Their sentence was, to be quartered, and their heads cut off ; but the Emperor would not allow it. Some of the remaining 115 were also condemned to be broken alive, some torn limb from limb by horses, and death to all ; but the Emperor would not suffer more to be executed, and they were all sent off heavily ironed to the mines in Siberia for life, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. AI A NSION-HOUSK Foastaar.—Riekord Randall was yesterday brought before the Lout Maros, on a charge of forgery. Mr. Lea Wilson, silk manufacturer, Wood street, deposed, that about the 21st of September last year the prisoner came to his shop, and purchased goods to the amount of 1501. and in payment ten. dered a bill of exchange, dated for the sum of 1421. 7a purporting to be drawn by Richard Thomas, of Truro, upon Robert Mitchell, of the same place, purporting to be accepted by him. It was made payable at Messrs. Glyn's, to the order of Richard Thomas. Ile LORD MAYOR said that be felt it his duty to commit the prisoner, who was Accordingly fully committed. A street-keeper, named Hayes. and a cad named Churchill were brought before the Loan Maros, by Mr. Cope, the Marshal ' under the following remarkable circumstances. Mr. Cope's state anent was to the following effect :—Saturday last, a person applied at the Mansion House for the assistance of the Police, in conse. queues of a very serious disturbance at s public-house called the Black Boy and Camel, in Leadenhall-street. When the officers went to the spot, they saw Hayes in a state of intoxication ' and, upon inquiry, ascertained, that he had taken by force from a sailor two Si. notes and some silver, at the instance of a woman who charged the sailor 9t. 101. for ten days' board and lodging, for doing which the prisoner had been rewarded with the sum of three pounds five shillings: The office/ s then immediately conducted Hayes to the Mansion House, where Mr. Cope questioned hint upon the subject. Hayes denied that be had received any money, or that he4tad any in his possession. However, upon being assured by the Marshal, that there was no use in attempting to conceal the fact, be pulled out the money, and said, upon being further questioned, that he had a great deal of trouble about the business, and deserved what he received.—The Marshal conceiving that this was an instance of the system of plunder tow bicb seamen are subject, took care to pro duce sufficient evidence before the Lord Mayor. Stapleton, the sailor front whom the money had been taken, stated as follows ; He belonged to a West India trader, and went on Saturday to Coptball court, accompanied by Mrs. Forde, his landlady, and Churchill, to get his money. lie received two five pound notes, four sovereigns, and some laver ; and as he owed Mrs. Forde some money, he believed between 41. and 51. be gave her the tour sovereigns, and told her that when he should return home be would give her any more that might he due. She was not satisfied, but invited him i n to the pedlc house, and ordered a glass of hot rum and water, of which he drank. Site then went down, and in her absence be put the. two 51. notes in his stoc kilos,. No sooner had he done so, however, than up came Hayes and Churchill. —Hayes said that be was an Officer, and that be came to take the ' money, and then Churchill held hint, while Hayes overhauled him, and took from him his two 51. notes. Hr did not ate what they did with the money, hut be lost sight of every halfpenny of it from that moment. Mrs. Furde said, when she returned to the room, she was to have had the amount of her bill, and that be (the sailor) was to have the difference ; but he never got a farthing back out of the 141. odd shllliags, which he had just received. Hayes said, he was conscious of having committed no offence. He was off duty at the time the disturbance took place, and was canal up stairs by Mrs. Furde, who said, that the sailor c harged her with having robbed him of ten pounds, and requested her accuser might be searched, as he had the money about him. Churchill had mentioned that the sailor pat the notes in his stocking, and the sailor did not at all object to be searched, but produced the money from his stocking, without being interfered with.—The sailor then agreed to pay Mrs. Porde the whole of her bill, and a receipt was brought in by Churchill and signed by Mrs. Verde, who received 91. 10s. the amount of her bill. There remained in his (Hayes's) hands, 51. ss. and be advised the sailor, who was in such a state of drunkenness as not to be able to take care of itimaelf, to leave the cash in his hands until be should recover. AU he meant in the world was to take care of the money (a laugh). llra. Futile stated, that the sailor having been in her debt, she accompanied him to Copthall.court, and afterwards to the public house' for the purpose of being paid. I nstea d, h owever , o f re ceiving her due, the sailor, after giving her Pout sovereigns, accused her of robbing him of two 101. notes, and she was obliged, for her character's sake, to apply to Hayes ; and, as she understood Hayes was going to search him, she thought it improper for her to remain in the room. Upon her return, the sailor was willing to pay her the money, and she regularly gave him a receipt ; but she begged pardon for the bad writing, as her hand shook, she was in such a fright. The sailer, when witness said he had his notes, clewed to lay a wager that h e had not a shilling about him ; but Hayes found the two 101. notes upon him. The Sailor—l went to her yesterday for some clothes that are in my trunk at her house, and she ilew at me like a tiger, and shook me by the collar, and said—" You infernal robber, get out of my house." Mrs. Fords—My Lord, be came to me at a very improper time, indeed. He came to me at church time, and of course I could sot do no suck thing as give hint his trunk al such a time on the Lord's Day—(Laughter.) The Loan Maroa—Oh, dear ! you seem to have a great respect for the SAbbath.—Mrs. Forde bowed her head. The Lois Maros said, the fact, as it appeared to hint was, that a very base conspiracy had been formed againw the sailor. He then remanded Hayes and Churchill, hnd ordered Mrs. For le tu attend the second examination ; at the same time directing her tu give up the sailor's trunk and everything else belonging to him. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, James Rpm, who had been charged on Thursday with having cut two Ladies' dresses in Bartholomew Fair the night be fore, was again brought up. Sarah Halls stated, that she was walking avid% Emma Henry in the fair, about ten o'clock on Wednesday night, and felt some one pull at her dress. She turned round, and saw the prisoner cutting it. He instantly ran off, and she could not overtake him. Emma Henry proved, that about half an hour after the prisoner cut her dress she saw him, and when he ran away she ran after hia, till an calker took him. Both the ladies produced their silk dresses, which wore cut in several places. The ALDCIMAN said the practice of cutting Ladies dresses bad been carried to a great extent during the fair; upwards of thirty bad complained, and, as the evidence Was strong against the pri soner, he should be committed for trial. The parties were bound over to prosecute, and told they should have their expences. BOW-STREET. Yesterday. Sir R. Mama rec. seed from some charitable individual a letter, enclosing a 51 Rank of Ragland note, which the donor re quested the worthy Magistrate to apply to the use of a venerable old man, namrd Dyts, whose vicissitudes in life, and distressed condition was repotted in this l'aper during the last week. The letter was signed " Ignatus," and Sir It. Blume said. that be would take care the man should have the money instantly forwarded to him. Mu PClima, the licensed Proprietor of a one horse caravan, was yesterday brought up on the information of Mr. Sykes, Solicitor to the Stamp Office, fur having carried more passengers than the Act allows. Mr. Sykes stated, that by an Act passed in the seventh year of Geo. IV. carriages on four wheels, drawn by one horse, are not al. lowed to carry more than six passengers. Carriages on two wheels no more than four passengers, under a penalty of not more than 201. and not less than XS for every such transgression. He had fre quently witnessed the defendant to burden his horse with ten or twelve persons; and he felt called upon, through humanity, to put a check to such acts of cruelty. lie had the defendant fiord in the penalty of five pounds, at the Mansion-house ; and he was worry to find it had not the effect of confi n i ng hi m w i t hi n l ega l li m i ts . defendant pleaded not guilty. Joseph Johnson, inspector of the stage coaches for the town dis trict, deposed that he saw seven passengers. exclusive of a child, in the defendant's caravan, on Monday, the 14th of September, in St. Martin's-lane. There being an evidence to rebut this, the defendant was con victed in the mitigated penalty of five pounds. SINCULAS CUAROZ Or FasoNw.—Willis,: Rayner, a young man about twenty-five years of age, was charged by Mrs. Susannah Walker. who appeared about thirty years of age, with stealing ,f l'2 I. 6d. her monies. The constable who brought the prisoner to the Mice stated, that he had been directed by Nit. Rot, the Magistrate of Marlborough street, to bring the prisoner from that office for examination before Sir R. Birnie. Slr R. Mama expressed some surprise that Mr. Roe did not hear the case himself, and asked the reason why he did not. Mrs. Walker said that Mr. Roe had been intimately acquainted with her since she was fifteen years of age, and she was sure that she would not have been able to have stood up before him, and sup ported the charge—she should have dropped on the ground ; and as the case was attended with some peculiar circumstances, Mr. Rue was induced to send it to Row-street for a hearing. Sir R. Diana said that no doubt Mr. Rue bad very proper rea sons for not hearing the ease himself. Mrs. Walker said that Mr. Roe was a trustee for her under a deed of marriage settlement. The prisoner said that Mr. Rue had no right to send him from one °lice to another. lle ought to have been examined at the Pulice•ulfice nearest the place where he had rendered himself into custody. Mrs . . Walker being sworn, stated that she resided at Saville-row. Lambeth she bad been acquainted with the prisoner for some time. On Wednesday last Mr. Roe, the :Magistrate, paid her twu IW. notes in halves • she met the prisoner in Rupert - street the same evening, and showe d him the money ;on the same night the prisoner called on her at her residence, and stopped with her during the night. She bail placed one 101. note, two sovereigns, Ibd 2s. 6J. in a box in her bed room. She left for a few minutes about nine o'clock the next morning, and on her return found the prisoner had soddenly left the place • she instantly suspected that her property had bear-carried off, and on looking into the box her suspicions were confirmed. She went immediately in pursuit of him, but be did nut gib borne, and had nct been to his home since. The prisoner said that her statement was untrue, for on his going home be was informed that she had charged him with s felony, and he went to the first constable be could hod, and surrendered him self to answer the charge. Sir it. Roma said, that as no property had been found upon the prisoner, and as he had surrendered himself to meet the charge, he should not feel justified in It. eping him in custody. The offence had been committed in Surrey those who bad him hi custody ought to have taken him to Union Hall, if they thought proper. The prisoner asked if he was to be dragged to another office? Sir HICIIIARD Bosun said if any offence had been committed it was in Sulrrey. The prisoner said it was very hard that he should be sent to Union 1141: he ought to have beets examined at Marlborough-stratt, but Mr. Roe could gin a good reason for not hearing the case. Sir It. Manna said he would not hear more of the case. M A RLBOROUG 11-STREET. Two persons of very respectable appearance, nameJ Laissiseet and Jay, were charged with assaulting a night constable of St. James's parish, named Sheppard, and Lambert and Jay charged Sheppard with a neglect of duty. blesses. Lambert and Jay were proceed ing along Coventry street, on Sunday evening, when they were met by two women, who grossly insulted them, knocked off their hats, and bestowed upon them most vile and disgraceful language; whereupon dr. Lambert gave them in charge to a watchman, who took them to the watchbouse. Mr. Sheppard investigated the ease, and although he was in formed by Mr. Lambert and his friend of the disgraceful manner in which the girls had conducted themselves, he refused to enter tain the charge, because no blow had been struck. Mr. Lambert told him, that unless he received the charge, he would make a complaint to the Magistrates of this office. Sheppard, how ever, said he would lock him up, unless be left the watch-houses Mr. Lambert refused to qu t the watch house unless the women were locked up, and Mr. Sheppard, therefore, placed him in custody. Sheppard now said, that when be attempted to put Mr. Lambert out of the watch house, he struck him several blows in the face. Mr. Lambert, on the contrary, denied having struck Sheppard, and said, his right hand was then in such a had state, that he could not clench his fist. Mr. Roe said, that the constable had done wrong in refusing to take the charge. Mr. Lambert and his friend were two respectable persons, residing in the parish , and, it appeared from their state. ments, hat they bad been meat grossly ill treated by the two wo men, and whom, it they had been brought before him, he should have sent to Tothill Fields for a month. The Act of Parliament specially provided that such women should be so punished, when they created a riot in the streets, and used offensive and indecent language. lie wished to be informed if Mr. Lambert told the con stable of the disgusting expressions which the women used? Mr. Lambert—Mr. Jay, the beadle, and the watchman, who were in the watchuuse, when the women were brought in, said, the charge was then as fully stated as it had been on the present occasion. Mr. Roe having consulted with Sir Geo. VARIANT, said, they were of opinion the constable had acted from a mistaken notion when he thought he was only obliged to take in the women, if they had committed an assault. lb should, however, fine him five shillings, and Mr. Lambert must find bail for his appearance at the Sessions,to answer the charge of assault. A tall well-made woman, about thirty years of age, was brought before the Magistrate for being disorderly on the previous night.— On entering the dock, she threw her Chinchilla muff on the floor, placed one arm in a silk pelisse which she carried in her hand, and drawing aside the torn sleeve of her dress, requested Mr. Roe would look at an immensely large black bruise which she said s►e had received when dragged to the IV atch-hease. The Magistrate, however, paid little attention to her request, and she began to amuse herself by tearing her gown to pieces. Rise that seated her ' self on a stool, which is placed in the dock for the accommodatioo of the gaoler ; complained of the overpowering heat of the weather, and desired the gaoler would bring her some water, for she was going to faint. While the lady was making this display, Mr. `Tandy, a publican, said, the prisoner came into his house, with some other women, and desired to be supplied with gin. He re- fused to give them soy, and she broke several warn of glass with her fist. Mr. Roe *shed what answer she bad to make to the charge? " Me answer !" she said, " I answer! I don't know what the man said.' And looking towards the Magistrates table, where was seated a Gentleman beside Mr. Roe, she observed, You ne e d not sit there quizzing me ; I don't know what the man said—ln him repeat it. Mr. Rot said, if she chose to amuse herself in making speech'', instead of attending to the complainant's statement, it could no t be repeated; she must find bail. The officers were then desired to remove her, whereupon she sprang from her seat, and jumping to the farther center of the dock, she dehed the officers to take her to prison. " I know what you want," she said ; " you w ane T „„ muff; here, take it—here, take my feathers also," and sway finch the muff, bonnet, and feathers into the middle of the room.-- 41 Here, take my comb, too; I know you wish to have it," and at the same moment that also was thrown close to the Magistr ates . table. She was at length removed with great difficulty, but in passing down the passage to the lock-up tooth, she pretended to ge off into strong hysterics, and tour ming men immediately took her to the cage. QU Rif4l- SQUARE. Urnottwo Commeuvere Idoerr.—Yesterday. Marna Rini, a very interesting young girl, underwent a final examination, on a charge of uttering bad money.—lt appeared from the evidence that the prisoner bad gone to the shop of Mn. R. Bleadon, a pastry. cook's, in Paradise-row, Pimlico, and in the purchase of two tarts tendered a bad shilling. On two former occasions she had disposed of money in the same way. and escaped ; however, in the third at. tempt a constable was sent for, who took her into custody. Air: John Field, an Inspector at the Mint, on examining foot pronounced three of them base and counterfeit, and fron t one die.—The prisoner, in her defence, denied knowing the shillias was bad, and declared she never was in the shop before. Fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREWE _ T. Hayes, a boy, was charged with stealing a ballet of plums, nearly as big as himself. Ann Bates, a fruit seller in Shorednd, stated, that yesterday morning sbe purchased a basket of plums in Spitalklds Market, and left them for a few minutes, when she missed them, and on passing through Lans-street she saw the pri. Boner, who had them on his shoulder. _ _ In defence he said, another boy isked bim to take them, and they were to sell them in Shorediteb. This statement amounting to a confession, be was fully committed. TOWN HALL. Grocesmith, jun. and Hammond, two of the Bow-street patrol, brought la three girls, for obstructing them in the pursuit of some thieves. A Gentleman had been robbed of his watch, in Queen street, Borough, by a fellow, who escaped through an adjuiniog public-house, the receptacle of the worst characters, the door of which was blocked up by the prisoners, one of whom held a knife it her hand, and cut Grosesmith on the hand. They were all locked ■p, in default of bail. EPISTOLARY CONDENSATION; OR, COMING TO THE Prism—Copy of a tradesman's letter to a debtor :—" Sir—if you will favour me with the amount of my bill you will oblige ow :-if not, I must oblige you," Nn drought equal to that of the present year ha: beat known in this country since the year 1762, in which year there was nh rain from the Sd May to the 19th July. Tilursday morning, the Old or Custom House Duck, at Liverpool, was cleared of all descriptions of vesse's, for the purpose of electing nn its site a Custom House commensurate with the importance of that poet. The Theatre at Gosport has been purchased for the purpose of being converted into a place of worship. The Hundred of Melksham, Wilts, is ordered to pay 4801. for damage done by the late riots at TrJwhridge. D. Robinson, a baker, residing in East• street, St. George's market, fell down in the Borough, on Satur day, and instantly expired. Oa the 22.1 ult. while John Crosby, of Lofthnuse, near Staithes was thrashing with three horses yoked in the thrashing mill, his son, seven years 0141, a very fine lad, was set near the pillar to drive. The poor boy unthink: ingly put his head past the pillar to look after the horses: One of the arms of the thrashing mill in a moment forced his head against the piller, and, dreadful to re late, took it entirely off at the third vertebre. The Ishock stopped the horses ; the father ran out to see what was the matter, and had the misery to find his unfortu• nate son's body jumping ahout without his head Kava.—The invention of keys is ascribed to the La cedemonians. At first they were made of wood; and the earliest form was a simple crook, introduced into a hole to raise a latch or remove .a bolt. The ancient keys still in existence are mostly of bronze, and are of various shapes: the most remarkable are those which have a shalt terminated on one side by the works, on the other by a ring. They have been supposed, by some antiqua ries, to be the keys presented by husbands on marriage to wives, and which were resigned upon divorce or separation. Among the Anglo-Saxons, a servant was keeper of the keys. The key of the private tcrinium was also sometimes suspended to the girdle ; that of places where treasures was kept, to the neck. Trade.. men wore bunches of them at their girdles. Hearne' says, the figure of the key of the west door of the church was putdown in the register, and in the Monkish times, a superstitious reverence was associated with them. BIRTI-1.
