QN THE FUNERAL SOLEMNITIES OF MESSRS. JEFFERSON AND ADAMS. IF BY AN AMERICAN. Hark ! attendant Seraphs say, Patriot Spirits, come away ! Ye, on earth whose work is done, Yt, whose glorious race is ran— Ye, among the faithful found, With your Country's blessings crowned; Ye, to whom freed millions raise Hylins of gratitude and praise : Summoned from this house of clay, Called in times full hour away,— Longing for their native skies, Lo, together they arise! Grieve not for the hallowed Dead— Mourn not Worth and Wisdom fled ; Filled with years, with honours blest, They alike in glory rest ! PORTSMOUTH, Ocrosza 7. This morning the Stentor transport, Lieutenant Bur ney, agent, arrived at Spithead, in great distress, having been twenty. three days at sea, bound to Sierra Leone, and obliged to put back .to repair damages which she sustained. in heavy gales, in the B•ty of Biscay. The following narrative, written by an officer, describes her perilous escape from shipwreck, and the suffer ingsof those on board: " The Stencor - sailed from Gravesend on the 14th September, and on the 19th passed the Land's End. On the 23d and 24th, we experienced a heavy gale in lat. 47, 10ng..13. 19. when the ship sprung a leak, causing the pumps to be at work every half hour. On the 29th, when in lat. 44. 54. it came on to blow one of the severest hurricanes that was ever experienced ; the Captain, who had crossed the Atlantic thirty-six times, said he never saw the like; the sea ran considerably higl.er than our mainmast, and resembled a complete foam; the wind was W.S.W. with the sea rolling from the Northward. From one A. N. the ship kept shipping sea after sea—all hands were at the pumps ; the guns were thi own overboard, as well as everything that could be got at. Now a scene came on, which beggars de scription : at twelve o'clock the man at the helm gave a signal which was too well understood—the men rushed to the rigging, clinging to it in all parts—a sea ap peared which actually darkened the space between us and the sun; it came lifting its head, until, with one horrid rush, it swept our decks, filled the whole of the after part of the ship with water, carried away the bul warks and dashed into the rigging ; our main topsail was split into ten thousand-atoms, and myself, who was in the back stays, bruised all over, and Captain Perry, of the Royal African Corps, the Commanding Officer on board, so severely injured, as to be obliged to be car ried into the round-house. The knees of the ship were started by the violence of the shock. Every passenger on board was compelled to win k at the pumps. We then attempted to put the ship before the wind, as our only chance of life, which, thank GOD, succeeded ; but at six P. Y. to add to our misery, one of the pumps choked, and the gale still continued, nor did it at all abate until the next night, having lasted forty-two hours. Our pe rils were not yet over, as we were all obliged for our safety to work incessantly at the pumps to keep her afloat, and for these last nine days we have never had off our wet clothes, our cabin being inundated with water, and all our things destroyed. The binnacle was also washed away, the boats stove in, and, to add to the con fusion, an alarm was spread of fire. Yet, amidst all the dangers, the Captain (Mr. Marshall), and the Agent (Lieutenant Burney), lost not their presence of mind, and to them our safety is greatly indebted. We are quite worn out with fatigues and sufferings." Letters from Cape Coast Castle state that the Brazen, 26, Captain George Willis, was lying there, all well, on the 16th of July, having recently captured La Fortuna, a Portuguese schooner, with 250 slaves, 45 of whom died on the passage to Sierra Levine; and on the 6th of July she captured the Brazilianship St. Benedict, fitted for a cargo of 690 slaves, but with only twenty-five on board:—Major Bowen, one of the Commissioners, on his return from the Gambia, comes home in the Brazen, and was shortly to sail for England. A beautiful brigan tine, prize to the ship on a former cruise, will return to England with her. The Ann, smuggling lugger, belonging to Flushing, with a crew of fourteen men, has been sent into New castle, captured on the 28th ult. off the Yorkshire coast, by the Mermaid, Lieutenant Robertson, alter having thrown a valuable cargo overboard during the chase, consisting of brandy, geneva, spirits, tobacco, tea, se gars, and cards, forty-eight tubs of which were subse quently picked up, a gale of wind from the Southward preventing further looking for the zest. The Ana is a most beautiful vessel, of about sixty-five tons, nearly new, and exceedingly well found with every descrip tion of stores. Tuesday arrived the Thetis frigate, Captain Sir John ' , hill more, Isom Rio Janeiro, whither she conveyed the Right. Honourable Lord Ponsonby, Ambassador to the States of Buenos Ayres, on his way to the River Plate. His Lordship has been engaged sonic time as a media tor, in endeavouring to reconcile the existing differences between the Brazilian and the Buenos.Ayrean Govern ments; but the Emperor of Brazil is so ill-disposed to abandon his original designs upon part of that territory, that be opposes every obstacle to the negociatious opened by the Government for terminating the war.— lie expenses of the war are very g reat , exceeding, it is calculated, the entire revenue of Rio Janeiro. Lord Ponsonby, it was understood, intended to proceed to his ulterior dest , nation, in about ten days, in the Doris fri g ate. Sir J. G. Sinclair. It is not correct that the Bra zillan frigate Netheroy had been taken in the River Plate (as was reported), by the Buenos Ayrean force, but the wli le squadron was covered with disgrace, by its pusiaaninious operations under its lat-! Commander, Admiral Count Lobo. His squadron, consisted of sixty seven ships of all classes, which the Buenos Ayrean ship , , commanded by Admiral Brown (a bid and in trepid man, form.rly a master in the merchant se, vice), constantly attack , d, in detail, a la totArane, and beat thenr most sh +=dully. Admiral Lobo was awaiting, at Rio Janeiro,an ingot( y into his conduct fur cowardice. It has been discovered, however, that by the Brazilian lag s, no Court can be at present constituted to meet his case, as the law declares the members of such must be e.fficers superior in rank and authority to the accused. Tire Admiral had, nrireover, found an influential friend in the person cf the Marchioness of Santos, who is a favour tie at Ccturt. We regret to learn, that the trade with the Riser Plate is nearly annihilated by the war which exists there; the merchants are suffering ins., mense losses, by their , goods perishing. The French and American Commanders at Rio have bad a spiv rited expostulatory correspondence with the Bra. zilian Government on the subject of the right of blockade of the River Plate—a question which the Ame rican Commander (Capt. Elliott) particularly disputes, and Which lie is -strongly disposed to put to the severe test of a forcible breach. He intended to sail thither shortly, with the Macedonian and Cyane, having ;ent on the fllston. The Portuguese line of battle ship, Dort John VI. remained at Rio, the Deputation from Portu gal not having yet succeeded in their object. It is un derstood that the Emperor is determined to marry his daughter to his brother, Don Miguel l—r The Emperor has not yet imbibed all the taste for English politics which we could wish; but which we hope he soon will. The Empress is decidedly partial to the English, and, on all occasions, extremely agreeable to them. Much, of her time is passed in the healthful employment of hunting; she rides (astride, according to the Austrian custom) from 40 to 50 miles a day. The case of the slave vessel, captured by the Redwing, and afterwards taken by a Brazilian ship of war, under pretence of her being a pirate, was still undecided. The Brazilian Government had offered to release the Officer (Mr. Faulkner, Mate of the Redwing), and the crew, upon Sir George Eyre un 'ertaking to give them up again, it the vessel should be condemned, in their Courts, as a pirate. This the Admiral refused to do, and, most quently, they remained in confinement. The Wellesley, 74 (flag ship), intended to leave Rio in a few days, on a cruise to the northward. The surveying ships Adven ture, Captain P. P. King, and Beagle, Capt. P. Stokes, had arrived at Rio from England, and were to sail shortly to commence their survey of the coasts, begin ning in the Straits of Magellan, and the coasts and islands of Patagonia. The Jasseur, Captain Thomas Martin, had gone round Cape Horn, to relieve the Eclair. Orders had gone for the Cambridge, Mersey, and Eclair, to return round Cape Horn. The Warspite, 74, Commodore Sir James Brisbane, horn India, war appointed to take the command there. The Thetis ex perienced a heavy gale of wind on the 29th ultimo, in crossing the Bay of Biscay; whilst laying to, a sea struck one of the guns, and upset it with as muck ap parent ease u it would a common spindle; another washed a boat off the quarter, into which one of the best seamen in the ship (named Paterson) had just got, to secure it, and he was drowned; and a third lifted the fore ports under the fore channels. The Thetis left Rio de Janeiro on the 14th of August. She sailed this morning for Plymouth, to be paid off, her period of service having expired. LIBERALITY 011 Tlll KING ON Ma jesty the King of Bavaria has made a most liberal present towards the relief of the suffering Greeks. His Maassly thus expresses himself in a letter to M. Ent* an, which the latter has forwarded to the Greek Committee at Paris :—" In order to relieve the misery of the Eastern Christians, I bad subscribed the sum of 20,000 florins ( 1,5001 .), payable I n ten consecutive months. As this aid may possibly come too late, I place this sum at once at your disposal; I even double it, so that you may be able to make the succour you send more efficacious. This sum of 40,000 florins (3,6000, which you may have immediately, are independent of the sum of 90,000 florins which I remitted you for the redemption of Greck women and children. With what sweet satisfaction I make this further sacrifice on behalf of these unfortunate Christians! For am I not a man and a Christian?"— Besides these contributions, amounting together to upwards of 50001. his Massa?, during his summer residence at Bruclusau, forbade the fetes and illuminations which the townships wished to make in honour of him, and told the Magistrates that he should be better pleased if the sums designed to be expended on these occa sions were given, half to the poor of the districts, half to the aid of the suffering population of Greece. The intimation was obeyed, and considerable subscriptions from private individuals were added. The remains of the late Lord RIBBLZSDALE were, on Saturday, the SOth September, deposited in the family vault, in the church of Gisburne, Yorkshire. The importation of horses at Margate from Ostend, still continues; during the present week have arrived the Dart packet, Captain Stranack, with twelve; also the Britannia, Captain Fox, with fifteen; they also supply us with plenty of butter, eggs, and walnuts, which are retailed at a reasonable rate. More import ations are daily expected. A little boy, of the name of Joseph Jenkinson, three years and eight months old, was burnt so dreadfully, in his father's house at Timble Bridge, Leeds, on Tuesday, owing to his night-clothes taking fire, in the absence of his parents, that he expired. At the late Petty Sessions at Cranbourne, Dorset, several persons were charged with entering the woods of Lord SHAPTUBURY and Mr. STURT, and insulting the persons who were set there to prevent trespassers.— Mr. STGRT interposed on behalf of the men, who were dismissed upon paying for the summonses. A summons costs only Is. an information in some divisions, 9s. A beautiful new steam-vessel for the Swedish Govern ment was launched on Monday, at Dover. In many of the communes of Alsace, the Protestant clergymen have appealed to the generosity of the pa rishioners, in behalf of the Greeks, and the result has been a collection of 827 - 40c. A Gentleman long famous for the aptitude of his puns, observing a violent fracas in the front area of a gin shop, termed it 4 4 the Battle of A-gin-court." It it a curious fact, that out of the 36 Barons who signed Magna Charts, only three could write their own name, the signatures of the remainder (if the term may be used) being only 04 ) their marks. Societies are forming in most of the manufacturing towns al Yorkshire and Lancashire,fcr affording clothing to the distressed poor during the approaching winter. At 'Tunbridge Wells last wtek, Mr. EASTWOOD, the master of the Hand and Sceptre, at the back of the Parade, was in the act of seating himself to breakfast, when he fell back in his chair, and instantly expired. la a French translation of Reynolds' Life and Times, are the fullowl...g whimsical misnomers :—The Marquis of Cain. serninitiav is called Le Marquis de Toii-otont-dilly—Lord Norm mane, Lord Noting-den-41e Duchess of Bovrox La Dachau de Tans—arid Sir Floras AMP, Ls Cheadle; lidere Ardent. Weduesday the Norwich Coach to London, the Pne nomenon, was searched at Bury, in consequence of in formation being given, for game sent to London by poach.-rs, from Hepworth and Stanton, when two fiat baskets, containing 12 pheasants and 55 partridges were seised, having been received from persons of suspici ous character, and a fine of 5/. per head, amounting to 3401. levitd upon the coachman, and other proprietors. Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, as a female who had disposed of her cheese at Nottingham fair, was returning home in her cast, she was induced Kr alight, and, while in the act of jumping out, her wedding ring caug;it into a small lino's, and her whole weight coming soddenly upon it, screwed the linger off her hand. QUALIFICATION FOR A DEPUTT.—A Lady having asked M. int blazes...nor, the French Attorney-General, in the reign of NArouros, why persons of her sex might not be el. ctors? he replied," Madam, you might be electors, but you could hot be de. puties."- 4 Why not?" said the Lady—" Because no woman would like to acknowledge that she was forty years of age."— furor. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.. -- Sibley, guard to the Manchester Defiance coach, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. Bradley, brother of a grocer and banker at Ashburne.—Mr. Bradley stated, that,abnut a month ago, he packed up a parcel, and sent it to the Swan with two Necks, io Lad-lane, to be conveyed by the Manchester Defiance coach, to Ashburne. The parcel contained six pounds of tea add two hun. dred sovereigns. The book-keeper and his assistant recollected the parcel was brought to the coach office. They booked it, and gave it to the goard.—The guard declared he had no recollection of having seen it. He had a great variety of business to attend to preparatory to the setting of of the coach, and could not be expected to recollect every thing that passed through his hands. The Solicitor for Mr. Waterhouse stated, that Mr. Bradley ought to have mentioned what the parcel contained, in order to have the snore strict attention paid to it. The Loan MATOR was of - opinion, that it would be extremely desirable, and he believed, practicable, to amend the plan of convey ing parcels. He thought Mr. Bradley was imprudent in his mode of transmitting money, and the guard to be altogether innocent. The guard stated, that be had gone no further than Leicester. The parcel might have been lust between that town and Ashburne. Mr. Bradley—l inquired the character of the guard all along the road, and find that it is unexceptionable. The LORD Mayoa asked Mr. Bradley whether he was in the habit of sending parcels of this description by the coach, u com mon parcels? Mr. Bradley said, that he had constantly sent money parcels to Ashburne. He had, In fact, transmitted between 12001. and 13001. a week, during the last twelve or thirteen years. The Solicitor for Mr. Waterhouse said, he thanked the Lord Mayor for having brought out that intelligence. It was evident Mr. Waterhouse had been a loser of 2501. a year for 12 or 13 years, by the blindfold plan pursued by Mr. Bradley, who certainly de served to lose his money upon this occasion. Mr. Bradley said, that he certainly should proceed against Mr. Waterhouse, for the amount of the parcel. The Solicitor—We shall afford you all the facilities in our power, if you choose to bring the matter into a Court of Law ' • but I cer tainly consider Mr. Waterhouse unjustly deprived of at least 10001. by the course adopted by Mr. Bradley. Mr. Bradley persisted in stating that his parcel must be returned or paid for. The Solicitor said, that Mr: Bradley offered to let the thing drop for 501. The Loin MAYOR postponed the second hearing of the case, in order that the second guard of the coach may attend. GUILDHALL. Saturday, Dr. Itadhans, a physician, residing in Old Burlington. street, was brought before Sir P. Lanais, the sitting Magistrate, on a warrant, to answer the complaint of Docker, a hackney coach driver, for refusing to pay his tare. It appeared by complain ant's statement, that he believed himself an injured man, and the Doctor a choleric one, for the Doctor had been served with two several summonses to attend at this office, but that he had not va lued these instruments of justice as of more weight than an old pre scription to a dead patient; so that as a dernier resort poor Jail was obliged to take out a warrant te enforce his appeal ance. The Doctor, with manifest impatience, waited till the complain. ant had finished his statement, when, in a very lengthened and an gry speech, he complained to the Magistrate of the ban'. treatment he had experienced, which he declared was enough to raise the ire of the most phlegmatic subject. The case occupied much time in its discussion, and it was finally disposed of by Sir P. boss's dismissing the warrant on account of not having been served till so long after the occurrence complained of took place. BOW-STREET. Saturday a person named Lynch, late proprietor of the Crooked Billet public-Miuse, at the corner of Wych-street, in the Strand, and a young titan named/be/QM, clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Stumm and Co. were placed before S. R. MINSH (ILL. Esq. under a charge of a very serious description, namely, for conspiring together for fraudulent purposes. Mr. Sprat, the landlord of the Hole.in-the-WaU public-house, Fleet -street, stated, that Lynch had purchased his interest in the Crooked Billet, in part payment of which he had given a hill for 5E244 11s. 6d. and he (Spratt) held a quantity of plate as part se corky for the balance. Some time back it appeared that Lynch bad sold the house again to Messrs. Whitbread and Co. the brewers, for 5e1,57 5, and on Friday evening he called his creditors together for the purpose of entering into some compromise with them: Mr. Sprat attended amongst the rest, in the expectation of getting his money, and Lynch said that be would give hint a check on the house of &mom and Co. provided that be (Spratt) would give up the bill which he held, and the plate then in his possession ; how ever, as he was given to understand that Lynch intended to pay all his creditors with checks on the same house, where, in fact, he had not one farthing of cash, he (Spratt) declined giving up either the plate or the bill. Mr. Mixanou. observed that as the check had not been negotiated, the fraud could not be proved, and the complaint was dismissed. HATTON-GA RDEN. Saturday, Francis Ellison, who was charged with robbing Anne Saunders, on the King's highway, between Camden Town and Kentish Town, the particulars of which were fully reported in our Prper of Wednesday se'nnight, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner having undertaken to prove an alibi, was allowed a week for the production of witnesses. The only one who came forward, was his own mother-in-law, who swore that, on the night when the robbery was committed, the prisoner had drank tea at witness's house, at Holton Old Town, and did not leave it before six o'clock. Mr. Sergeant Saxton observed, that this evidence was not sufficient to sustain the plea of alibi, because it was quite possible that a man might have come from Holton to Camden Town in the interval from six to ten o'clock, at which time the robbery bad been committed. The prisoner persisted in declaring his innocence, but not being prepared with better proof of it than his own unsupported assevera. Lion, he was fully committed to take his trial for the capital offence, at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STRRET. In consequence of the statement made by Mr. Butler, respecting Lieut. Archdall's bail, which appeared in this and other Papers St this day week, Mr. Withers attended on Saturday, before Sir G. FASSANT and Mr. CONANT, to make an affidavit, as a counter statn ment to that of Mr. Harmer. Mr. Withers said, the statement of Mr. Harmer, going to the public without a contradiction,' was likely to prejudice him in the eyes of the Guardian Institution, whence his son was taken into the service of Archdall. The affidavit of Archdall before the Judge, stated, " that in consequence of posting bills, and statements ih the newspapers, the minds of the Jury at the Sessions would be biassed. they being persons of nearer equality with plaintiff than defendant." He bad employed himself the greater part of the week in making inquiries and looking mend the walls of Westminster for any of the bills sworn to, and could find none. If he bad kno - vn of such an affidavit being sworn, he- should have attended and opposed it. He could tot help complaining of Mr. Harmer abandoning the pro , socution now it was removed into the Court of King's Bench; he supposed it to be, because he bad not money to support a prosecu tion in so eapensive a Court. His request was, that the Magistrates would allow him to swear the affidavit, for the satisfaction of his friends, that he had in no way colluded with the defendant. Sir G. Faanarrr—Mr. Butler stated here that he attended the swearing of the affidavit before the Judge, and ihewed all the letters. So much had been said and published on both sides, that he could not see the utility of this affidavit. One side makes one application and the opposite side another, till the case is fritter:d away, and •nothing lett to go before a Jury. Mr. Coin/am—lf Mr. Harmer has neglected your business, we can have nothing to do with that; you must employ another Solicitor. Mr. Withers said be had. Sir G. Faaamer—You had better indict him at the Szssious. The affidavit is of no use.—The application was refased. Johnson, the informer, has again been unlucky in the wording of his infot mations. The first called on Saturday was against Isabella Yat:, for that she did, atc. &c. in .s his house, which Mr. Virgo, the Solicitor, submitted was fatal to a conviction. Johnson, to save paying the witnesses in case the Information should be dismissed, made a virtue of necessity, by withdrawing the complaint, " because he saw Mts. Yatt was a widow !"—The second information was against John Gwilliam, of the Fox, in Great Windmill-street, for " permitting gaming in your house." Mr. Virgo made the same ob jection, which was allowed by the Magistrates, and the information dismissed.—'the third and fourth were against Thomas nice, of the Cross Keys, in High Holborn ; one was f.,r late hours, and the other for suffering dominoes to he played on the 29th September. Mr. Virgo saw a fatal objection in the information for gaming, and wanted that beard first; but as the option lay with the informer, that for late hours was taken. Aaron Rawlings, Johnson's witness, proved the case, and that Mr. Price told him " he was obliged to be particular, as Johnson wanted a little business to do." • Mr. Virgo submitted the averment of the .infarmation had not been made out. The informer had not proved that the persons seen coming out were mot travellers, which was the °fen: :or.. tn. plated by 'la. Legislature. Johnson submitted his own witness, who had had bread an•; cheese, and gin and water, could prove that the persons w: re nu: al: travellers. Mr. Virgo objected to Johnson offering fre►h evidence after clos ing hie case. Sir G. Faioarrto Mr. Virgo—lf you insist on the witness prop. ing the persons not to he tratellers, what do you say to your obre_ lion the other day, when you proved those to be journeymen who were st Ated to be travellers? Mr. CONANT—If we are satisfied that th-1 were nc.t travellers, any thing else is of no consequence. Mr. Price was convicted in five shillings and costs. The information for gaming, which 3lr. Virgo said could not stand, Johncon said he should not call, " as the defendant had beer convicted in the first." To the information against John Cistle, in Mu;eum.street, fur late hours, Mr. Virgo offered the same objection as iti.the last, sub. mitting that the Magistrates had no jurisdiction, as the centric:tor could not be returned in the words of the Act, unless the perwons were proved not to be travellers, anl that the onus probaruli of the lay with the informer. There was no offence committed aides; the house was kept open for "other purposes than the entertainment of travellers' and for them a publican might keep his house ()per all night. _ Sir GEORGE FARRANT-TI the Magistrates permitted such a pies, every publican would keep his house open, and say, " well, I do* for what travellers may come." Mr. COMA NT thought it entirely in the discretion of the Magic. trues to determine who were travellers and wh.) were residents{ otherwise they would never be able to convict for keeping kite hours. The case was proved to his satisfaction. The penalty wmuid he one that they need not return ; but, nevertheless, if Mr. Virgo pr es s e d, the return should be made; but in casts where returns were made, the repetition of the offence doubled the penalty.-10% fine, and 3s. 6d. costs. QUERN-SQUA RE. Caroline Newton, a very pretty damsel, with a pair of beautiful black eyes, that might have moved even an anchoret, was charged with a most violent and outrageous assault on the person of Caroline Miller, and several others. Several complainant 4 were In attendance with broken heads, black eyes, and violent bruises on different parts of their persons, that the office app.aared more like an hospital than a justice-room. Compl iill2l/i stated, that the defendant rushed into her house, and split her bead with a rolling pin ; she also assaulted ht r niuther, who was in bed ; in fact, every one that came in her way suffered severely. The defendant said, that her husband absconded from her about a week ago, leaving her with three children ; she di.covered be was cohabiting with the complainant, when she went to the house, and found them together, which so exasperated her, that she ct:t.itliy did assault her.—Committed for want of baiL A dashing Cyprian, residing in Wilton-street, Gropver.or Place, accianpanied by a spruce sprig of fashion, appeared to i,refer the following curious complaint against a wet•nursc. The complainant stated that the had hired the young woman to wet•nurse her infant ; that she was permitted to see her Les band once a week; notwithstanding this, a few days a fttr the interview, her husband was found. at twelve at raja, co:Traled under her bed, when thinking be had come to rob the t.use, sue gave hint in charge to the watchman. Wet-nurse to the Magistrate—May I be allowed to explain, Sir ? Mr. Gap:walla—Certainly. Wet-nurse—l was recommended to the complainant a sun, geon, who informed me that she was a respectable married woman. but I soon found out that I had been inveigled into a house of ill' . fame, and that my mistress was a kept woman. She was in the' habit of admitting Gentlemen into her house; and on one occasion some of them entered my bed-roonibefore I was ball dressed, and commenced a most indelicate attack on me, which I repelle'd indignation, while the complainant stood by smiling zt then)! I mentioned the circumstance to my husband, who, not thinking it safe for me to remain another night under the roof without his ,protection, tame in by stealth, and concealed himself under my bed, where he was discovered by the complainant. A Gentleman said, the house was one of the most infamous de. scription; he resided in the same street, and was an eye-witness to the iniquitous proceedings carried on there ; in fact, the know was literally besieged, not only by Officers in the Army, anxt3us to dis tinguish themselves by" deeds in arms," but Lords and Dukes also bowed down at the shrine of beauty. Among the fornwr he named a 'Nobleman, now in Paris, with a host of others who frequented the house, and the neighbourhood was continually annoyed so that whether the complainant's " Babe of Grace" was his Grace( of somebody's babe or not, be could not determine; but certain he was that the house ought to be indicted for a nuisai:ce. The defendants were discharged. LAM BETH-STREET. Saturday - , a young man of the most respectable connexions at the west end of the town, who gave his name as W. Altkrton, was brought before Sir D. WILLIAMS, charged with having stolen a double-barrelled gun, the property of Mr. Wilbraham, the guu maker, in Ltadenhall.street.—Remanded. G. West, alias Hawdon ; IV..Tervis, IV. Hubbani, T. Skinner, alias Gascoign e ; Mary Bowden, alias (Vest; and JE2tz. Gasasigne, alias Skinner, who generally hunt in couples, and are old acquaintances of the Police Officers, were charged with stealing a trunk, containing linen, &c. value £.30 from a van, the property of whose goods were removing to a new residence, from a former one in Burr-street: they were remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Saturday, Mr. Humphries attended, to defend Mules Salmon and 2'lsoinus Bull, joint proprietors of several of thr Padding►on stage-coaches, against informations which had been laid against them by Miller John Byers, the noted informer, for not having their Christian and Surnames painted on the pannel of each door of the coach, they having " Chas. Salmon" on one door, and " Thos.. Hull" on the other. Mr. Humphries took some technical objections to the averments, but they were over-ruled by the Magistrates. Byers stated in Court, that not one-third of the coaches that leave London comply with the Act. His harvest therefore pro mises to be abundant, as he took out forty-seven summonses. The defendants were convicted in two cases in the mitigated penalty of X 5 each. One was withdrawn, and the fourth ins re served for consideration. • Castle Yarhnry Fair was hell in the entlenchmer.t upon the plain, betwixt /linden and Amesbury, on Thursday last. There was a very large quantity of sheep and bs penned, not half of which were sold. Capital ewes in lamb would only yield fruits 12s. to 161. each; and lambs, which last year would have fetched 16s. each, were sold with difficulty at Si. ,When it is considered that the ordinary stock of sheep on the Wiltshire Downs is toma puted to be at least 600,000, a reduction innoe year of lOs. a bead (supposing that the farmer sells off half), causes a deficiency iu one county of 150,0001. in the farmer's means of paying hit rent and tithes. It is true that the purchaser gets additional means, but to the stock farnier the deficiency must be a very serious injury.— ISince there is now an abundance of grass, and the turnip, ate re. markably fine, this reduction must, ere long, be felt in the markt t for fat cattle. The large fair for sheep begins at :iprl:hy. near Weyhill, on Saturday, and the farmers are very apprt he ii.:ve that an immense quantity will remain unsold, at any price. Toe re were matey fine cart colts at the Castle Fair, which supported 110 prices. Hindoa market, which sonie years ago, was a very considerable one, exhibited on Thursday V. pigs, two baskets of butter, and three butchers' stalls. No corn, no other evtle, end not above 2.o'persons in the market. The fact Is, that .1) thei r is no spirit, and few customers, ther e will he no induceme:l to off..-r produce for sale. Since yesterday , the Rep. o ter has learnt that the landlord at the Lamb Inn in this town, who rents a po-tii.g and coach house, scarcely worth £5O per annum, paid half a 7ear's rates, a few days ago, which amounted to no less than .ette. Toe rate is, on small houses, more thin the rent! What is there it: the north of England equal to this?
