The live stock, in• chub :g axen, horse 4, &e. were all saved. The property was insured. The fire was cansvd by a spark aveidestally catching thP thatch. On Sunday last, two stage coache4, on the Essex road, came in contact, and one of them (the Nelson) was tipQet. The passengers suffered severe!y. some of them being dreadfully bruised, but it does not appear that any Ore was lost. The accident was occasioned by a cantentiOnsbetween the tw° delvers! Suiting.--On Monday erenine a gentleman named Fibber, said to have been au Officer in the 26th infantry, 41 , i1 .tispended from a tree in Loekswood, betwixt Watford and lekended. He had taken lodgings in Marlborough row, but had slept in them on.Satnr. day night only. He had letters of recommendation in his pocket to " some persons of disthletion; hnt his irunk, on being exlmined, con - tiineil but few clothes, and poverty is supposed to have caned suicide. • A woman vras lately I,nnd murdered at Hareffeld, near Winillsor ; it is suppo•sed the horrid act was perpetrated by a footpad, as she Was robbed, and the ear-rims cat from her cars. ' Tuesday night, as Sao:. Pay, aged 15, was coining over Gritford Bridge, Bedfordshire, in a waggon, the horses ran away with it. The IA was called by his father to jump out behind : but Irani tun•itely iti his fright jumping out before, the wheels went over hint, and he was dialed on the Fpot. On I T n lay se'nuight, between four and five o'elock in the afternoon, a' Mrs Howes. wife of Mr. Howes, solicitor. of Noriliampfue, was re , toridnir to Bughrook, in company with a Miss Pirkins, they were stopped • by a villain near the side of the canal, who, with imprecations, de ' ma:ided their money. Mrs. H. positively refused to give him any ; m. which he gave her a slap on the face, which she very spiiitedly re turned. The vill sin then seized Miss Pirkins. threw her into the • h e 4 g , ~and t..re her clothes : Mrs. H. immediately on his hack being tosva - ds her, caught him by ihe throat, and griped hint so tialnly, that • be beggod she would release hiin promi.ving that they should then pro ceed without farther interruption. The villain, however, o n findi.,g hi•siself disengaged, immediately turned to Mrs. H. and said, " NuW e my lad I will be revenged of yon—l have a knife in iiv pocket, and I will have both ruir lives. and your money ", Abs. 11. replied, he - 6httt&l n:1 h .ve her 'Hooey but with her life. A violent ensued, when Mrs. H. was again fortunate enough to, get such hold of him a; to , OCT. 23. enable her to prevent lUar carrying los th,eats lour execcti or, and .ti* secure him till a person Cs to her assistarice. They i famodktely took the fellow before a Magistrate, who committed him to the County Gaol fur trial. On Mondav night, the 10th inst. n dreadful fire broke cut -at the. Sa. racen's (lead Inn, Mosta%)le, which in a very short space of time totallv consumed the adjaking tenements, as wr I A as part of the Inn, with all the stables, granary, ricks of corn and bran; likewiw ttort.of Mr. Wil loughby's premises, wito his stock in trade. as a plumber, 'traw ware . house, &c. No part of his property was iturrd. Mr. Cooke, at the I Saracen's !lead, was insured for upwards of 11001. but his loss is esti mated at upwards of 25 001 . LnnniTES —By letters receive d on Monda y from Nottingham, we are sorry to learn that the ontragcs of those deluded people called Lauldites still continue. A few weeks ago a man of the name of Towle, of New Bastard, Was fully committed fm' frame. breaking, upon the evidence of Mr. Garton of that place. and was to take his trial at the varier sessions. Aware that the evidence o f Mr. G. ennui not fail to bring their accomplice to con lien punishment., the Luddites formed the hors id resolution of murdering him. With this view, on Friday se'nnight a trendier of them assemb!ed about 4 , o'clock. Fos Innately Mr. Garton had ec:Tived previous intiMation of their intentioos and had made application to the Magistrates, who turniOied him with a guard of constables. On arriving at Mr. ',lnn's house, they eagerly enquired f r him, and swore they came ito do for ; awl by way of intimidation, tired several times, but ithont doing any mi , chief. On-forcing their way into the parlour, I where the constables were waiting for them, the Luddite r' received a shot in his head, am! (hopped down dead ow Cie spot. lie proved to be a Nottinlzham man, named Boamford, and It lately retmned from sea. The noise brought many of the neiglihorns to the doors and windows : amount the re.st was Mr. Gillis - , who rsai immediately shot dead by the ruffians, in revenge, as it is supposed, for tl:e death of Boarnfard. Such confusion prevailed at the ;joie that the villains escaped, although a great assemblage of people were prebent. WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL. LABOUR IN FRANCE. In the speech of M Lanr, one of the FiTrich Chamber of De' pnties, on the subject of the Corn Laws, we have some interesting information on this subject. He states, that in 1789, the daily • wages of a man employed in agriculture were, in winter, 75 cents. and in the longest days he might :ant one franc (100 centimes make a franc—and a franc is equal to lnd. .Knglish money). At present the same man is paid .15 sou per day (one hilinz and a kaltprimy) in winter, and from 45 to 50 sons in summer. A farm servant in the how received in 1789 an annual salary of about 60 fr.; naw, none is to be cot fir less than 90 fr, ; if they ate expert, their wages increase in proportion, and there are some. ploughmen whose wmzes are as high-as '2OO and T.'3o fr. The prices of oxen for the plough, have doubled since 1710. The price of agricultural imple ments has increased in the same proportion. The direct taxes had also been nearly doubled. All the objects of utility and 'limy, I furnished by manufactures, ha;l increased in proportion to the price of the article of the first necessity. ESTIVIINS7'FI? SESSIONS.
