PROVINCIALS. . Pcounnista.—The Ploughing Match for the Premiums of the Bath and West of England Society took place at Hunter's hcall in the parish of Kingscote, Gloucestershire, •u the 10th inst. In a field contiguous to Hunter's Hall, (a two-years Clover Ley) which was lent by the public-spirited landlord of that Inn for the purpose. 'rite ground was previously marked out in half-acres, for the choice thy lot) attach competitors as might present themselves. At the appointed hoar, three ploughs ap peared on the ground. They were all of that denomination of ►loughs, called, Beverstone, the sort almost exclusively now used in that neighbout hood. One was drawn by two oxen, with a driver; another with two horses, without a driver; and a third by one 'terse, without it driver. The two horses finished their ht►lf acre in 2 nours an:l 28 minutes. The oxen ploughed the same quantity of ground in 3 hours and 14 minutes, and the one horse the same portion, is 3 hours and 17 minutes. The per formance of the latter was truly extraordinary, and gave rise to a het on his capability, which is to be decided on the 25th inst. in the saute field. Taking for their guide the rules laid down by the Society, the Judges pronounced the plough drawn by the two oxen entitled to the first premium, and that drawn by the two horses to the second. Lord Sheffield's bull, which so miserably gored an ox, at Fletching Fair, was, by order of his Lordship, killed on Tues day last, although it appeared, that this powerful animal was not by any means the agg,re-sor ; on the contrary, he patiently endured extreme pressure from fourteen oxen that were yoked together, and not properly attended to by the man who had the care of them, until !hr had about half passed him, when on looking round, and observing the number that was to follow, he deliberately applied his horns in his own defence, and actually tossed the I..ellock that most annoyed him to the height of be tween four and five feet I which so terrified the others, that they set up an hideous roaring, which, it is rather extraordinary, was imniediately answered by all the cattle in the fair-place. A single tree, of but moderate size, standing near the house of John Bean, Esq. of Clapham, gives occupancy to 66 couple of r ioks, wt,asr twsts, it is supposed, contain, at the least, 264 young ones, and whose d'!ily industry, in providing for them, is the admiration ~ f Mr. Beau's family. o.r Wednesday evening, as the I)over and Canterbury mail coach was driving on the road near Nortlifteet, it went too near a bank, and pitched over, when the coachman and guard were thrown into a hedge, and much scratched with the thorns. A gentleman inside the coach fortunately received no injury. On Thursday morning the body of a man named Norrell, was found hanging in his bed-chamber, at a village near Chichester. On cutting him down it appeared that he was quite dead, and that the deceased had very curiowly lined the noose of the rope by which he was suspended, with velvet. He was about 45 years of age; and nu other cause can be assigned for his com mission of the rash act, than a hopeless passion he had conceived f o r a girl aged 17 years. About • 'tie o'clock on Sunday morning last, a man of short thick st , about 45 years of age, having on a light coloured coat, thick aistcoat, three-quarter gaiters, and a clean flannel apron, was seen Imaging on the branch of a small oak tree, near Menge, in Surrey ; he was suspended by a coarse blue pocket handkerchief, most artfully tied for the completion of this rash act, his toes touching the ground. In his pockets were found a number of state lottery bills and a piece of old netting, such as used by fishermen ; he appeared to have been hanging several hours.
