The Margate coach was overturned on Saturday at Chatham. The accident was occasioned by cleasint a carriage. There were ten outside passengers, amongst whom was the Steward of the Archbishop. of CANTERBURY, who was dreadfully wounded in the groin by the iron of the coach ; he wets left at Chat ham without hopes of recovery : the dther outside passengers were not materially hurt. . This morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out in Oxendon-streeet, Haymarket, at the house of Mr. Lewis, dyer, which raged with considerable fury, and threatened desolation to the whole neighbourhood.— The inhabitants of Edmund's -court, adjoining, were in the utmost con s t ernat i on ; an d one poor woman, who through fright had left her three children, being happily restored to her recollection, ran back and brought them out i n sa f ety f rom the impending dan ger. By the a c ti v i ty o f t h e fi remen, and having a plentiful supply of water, the fire was extinguished without extending farther than the house in which it began, which, however, it entirely demolished. While the late fire at Plymouth was at its beight,, on its being discovered that a child was in A roos4,] absolutely surrounded by the devouring element, np . of our gallant tars burst through the flames, wrapped the intent i n t h e b ed-de , and threw it into the -Mitts where it fell unhurt.

The officer commanding the army desires me to acknowledge his receipt of the letter addressed by the President of the Court, recommending Major Storey to his clemency. If this sentence had been such as the law has pointed out for the offences of which the prisoner is declared guilty,the recommendation of the Court might justly have had great weight in his deci sion ; but the sentiments already expressed will satisfy the Court, that the Officer commanding the army cannot, without a departure from every motive he entertains of his public 'duty, consen: to the remission of a sentence which he has already declared himself to consider as inadequate to the crime.

Fort Cumberland is to be appropriated for a foreign depot. The convicts are to be moved into Ports mouth harbour, and employed in the Dock-yard. Saturday night last, a route was received for the Waterford militia, commanded by the Marquis of WATERFORD, quartered in Limerick, to march for Bandon, in two divisions, on Friday next and Friday se'anight..

We feel gratified to say, that the rapidity of the recruiting of this distinguished national corps is such, and so decided is the, preference given to it by. Irish men, that its depot has been enabled to furnish to its `battalions of service, no less than 700 fine fellows, within the last 18 months, and yet continues on a re spectable effective strength itself. Eighteen deserters were yesterday morning marched into towntrom Ireland, and safely lodged in the Savoy.

I , alias Sally Fox, and James Doan, a few days since ' in Vere-street, in• the Pillory, Panton-street The disgust felt society , conduct of these wretches occasioned many thoiminds to become spectators of their punishment. At an early hour the Old Bailey was completely blockaded, and the increase of the mob about twelve o'clock pat a stop to the business of the Sessions. The shopsfrom Ludgate Hill to the Haymarket were shat ip, and the streets lined with people, waiting to me **offen ders pass. Four of the latter had been rensowid from the House of Correction to Newgate on Wednesday evening, and being Joined by Cooke and Amos. they were all ready to proceed to the place of punishment. About twelve o'clock the Sheriffs and City Marshals arrived with more Than 100 constables mounted and armed with pistols, and 100 on foot. This force was ordered to rendezvous in the Old Bailey Yari, where a caravan, used occasionally for eonveying prisoners from the jails of London to the Hulk., waited to receive the culprits. The caravan was drawn by two shaft horses, led by two men, armed with a brace of pistols. The gates of *Old Bailey. Yard were shut, and all strangers turned nat.. '.The miscreants were then brought out and placed in the. caravan. Amos began a laugh, which induced his vile companions to reprove him, and they all sat upright, apparently in a composed state, but having cast their eyes upwards, the sight of the spectators on the tops of the houses operated strongly Cu their fears, and they soon appeared to feel terror and dismay.— at the instant the church clock went half past twelve, the gates were thrown open. The mob at the same time attempted to force their aay in, but they were repulsed. A great sortie of the police was then made. About 60 officers, armed and mounted as before de. scribed, went forward with, the City Marshals. The caravan went next, followed by about 40 officers and the Sheriffs. The first salute received by the offend ten was a volley of mud, and a serenade of hisses, hooting, and execrations, which compelled them to fall fiat on their faces in the caravan. The mob, and particularly the women, had piled up balls of mud to afford the objects of their indignation a warm reception. The depots in many places appeared like pyramids of shot in a gun-wharf. These were soon ex hausted, and when the caravan passed the old house which once belonged to the notorious Jonathan Wild, the prisoners resembled bears dipped in a stagnantpooL The shower of mud continued during their poser to the Haymarket. Before they reached half way to the scene of their exposure, they were not discernible al human beings. If they had had much further to go, the cart would have been absolutely filled over diem. The one who sat rather aloof from the rest was the landlord of the house, a fellow of a stout batk , " - figure, who could not so easily stow himself away as the others, who were slighter ; he was therefore, as well as on account of his being known, attacked with double fury. Dead cats and dogs, offal, potatoes, turnips, &c. rebounded from him on every side, while his apparently manly appearance drew down penises. execrations on him, and nothing but the motion of the cart prevented ins being killed on the spot. At one o'clock four of them were exalted on a new pil. Tory, made purposely for their aceomosodistioi.— The remaining two, Cooke and Amos, were honour ed by being allowed to enjoy a triumph in the pillo ry alone. They were accordingly taken back in the caravan to St. Martin's watch-house Before an y of them reached the place of punishment, their faceii. were completely disfigured by blows and mud; and before they mounted, their whole persons appeared one heap of filth. Ulwards of fifty women werepe* mined to stand within the ring, who assailed them in. cessantly with mud, dead cats, rotten eggs, potatner, and buckets full of blood, offal, and dung, which were brought by a number of butchers' men, from St. James's market. These criminals were very roughly handled ; but as there were four of them, they did n k. stiffer so much as a less number might. When di, -hour was expired, they were again put in the cart ani conveyed to Cold Bath Felds prison, through St. Mar .thes-lAne, Compton -street, and Holborn, and in their journey received similar salutes to what they met with In their way from Newgate. When they were tall* bola the pillory, the butchers' men, and the women, who had been so active, were plentifully regaled with •gin and beer, procured from a subscription nude upon the spot. In a few minutes, the remaining two, . Cook (who had been the landlord) and Amos, alias Fox, Were desired to mount. Cook heist his heed to his head, and complained of the blows he had already receivesti'and Amos made the same complaint, and shewedillirge brick bat, which had struck him in - tie 'fate: :Me Under Sheriff told them that the see• tence must be executed, and they teluctandy Mount ed. Cook said nothing 1 but Amos seeing the pre : Farads= that were miking, declared in the most so limn manner, that he was innocent; but it was vo- ' eifeeated from all quarters, that he bad been convicted before, and in one minute they appeared a complete heap of mud, and their faces were much more bat tered than those of the former four. Cook received several hits in his face, and be had a lump raised upon his eyebrow as large as an egg. Amos's two eyes were completely closed up; and when they were untied, Cook appeared almost insensible, and it was necessary to help them both down and into the cart. when they were conveyed to Newgate by the same road they had come, and in their passage they coati- nued to receive the same salutations the spectators had given them in going out Cook continued to lie upon the seat in the cart, but Amos lay down among the filth, till their entrance into Newgate sheltered the wretches from the further indignation of the most enraged populace we ever saw. As they passed the,--i• end of Catherine-street, Strand, on their return, a Coachman stood upon his box, and gave Cook five or six cuts with his whip: Viguers, the miscreant placed in the pillory in Cambia, is at present blind, in consequence of dm received.
