Plto‘ CIALs. In the garden of Mr. JcGry's, attorney, at Chatham, there are at this time hanging on an E. palier tree several very kits apples of the last year's growth ; they are firmly attached to the branches, and ha e all the appearance and colour of the healthiest and freshest fruit. Not w ithstanding the severity of the weather, Mr. Stainbank, of Seal.-hall, near Lancaster, has two ewes, each of which, on the '26!li ult. produced a tic- ewe lamb, which are likely to do well, though they remained some hours upob the snow. There have been a greater number of partridges this season than usual ; and as the shooting of them ceased on Monday last, it is probable the ensuing - season will prove full as abundant. The marriage of a respectable tradesman of Beverley., with a lady of that place, was fixed, w e understand, for one day last week ; the ring was bought and every necessary preparation made; but on his going in the morning to call upon the intend , i t brHe, he found to his great surprize, that she bad set off that . morning on a matrimonial jaunt to Sr-Disco:as church, with a Serjeant in, we believe, the East York A few days since a melancholy accident happened to John Marston, at Actonsupon-Tuitnell, near Statliird, who being at work in a mill by hintself, the twarhiaery caught hold of WI clothes, which wedged hint in between the horizontal and per pendicular wheels, by which he was crushed to atoms A letter from Newton Stewart mention; a tremenotis timnder storm that happened aboat six o'clock in t he moroing of tile h ult. Between hearing the I builder. and seeing the lightniag, only four %coin& elapsed. At earsdeigth, the homes in the mail took fright, by which means the coach was overturned. The poor animals were so stunned that they turned rotuid, the wheels of the coach describing a circle of ten feet diameter. The guard is much bruised ; but the driver, and a woman and child who were paaengers, providentially escaped unhurt. A young motto in Cumberland, of a supposed plethoric habit, avent to bed in perfect health at night, but arose totally What, and remained for a week in that situation. A surgeon. conceiv ing it to proceed from a fulness of blood, opened an artery, and her sight was retore.l. Wednesday evening last, a ,hort time before the prisoner: lathe city gaol, of Oxford, were locked up, John Grover, lately t tim mined upon a charge of burglary in the dwelling-house of Alderman Parsons, contrived to escape from the part of the pri son in which he was confined into the yard, and having plated same planks against the boundary wall to induce a belief that he had suet ceded in getting os er, afterwards concealed hints(if in a stack of YY oral. In con s equence of this, and wider a pz.rsivision that be had passed the wall, a reward of 70 guineas NI a, idered, and the most active measures were taken for his apprehension. The prisoner, how ever, w as retaken in the gaol y ard, at an early hour on Friday morning, ;tiler having failed in a desperate at tempt to scale the wall, the top of which he had t e reach ed, hut fell backwards upon the pay emelt', and was discovered by his cries. It seems he lay concealed in the wood stack dur ing the whole of the preceding night and day, anti by means of a tile, procured front as apartment in the gaol, w here one of th. prisoners was permitted to w ork, had contrived to disengage himself from his fetters. On Alonday night a poor w °man, named Devine, ho sell; toys on Summer-hill, Dublin, was robbed by three rulliaus with their faces blackened. They entered the poor creature's bilOr where she was sitting, and bound a cord round her neck, c4Ol - it with her hands, which they placed under her legs, and thus deprived her of communicating her distress, when, after giving her several violent blows, mid nearly suffocating her ) theY carried an ay her clothei, and 51. iu money. p swp
