The stone missed the cat, who escaped with her booty ; but which unfortunately glancing from some wood-work, struck the shepherd abov e t o_ bided to, who was feeding his dug .to the cart-house, and coin. pletely cut out his eye. On fiatuiday slight, whilst a boy was ramming clown a blun derbuss, a hich he had in the evening been discharging in the streets of Birmingham, to the great annoyance of passenger, the piece accidentally went off, when the iron ramrod pierced the corner of bis eye, and lodged in his scull. lie was taken to the hospital, with very little hopes of recovery.

Middlesex was held at the Merino; ' Hackney, to address his Majesty on the late Treaty conci.....:ed by the Ilritish Officers in Portugal. The Sheritl% stated the purport of the Meeting, nod the hy several respectable Freeholders.
