SPIRITED ACTION.—Your men, the names of Burgess, Leigh, Robinson, and - Kemp, were convicted at the last Quar ter Sessions, for the county of Chester, of steaneg fowls, be longing to Win. Lose, publican, is Bre4;burs.. The felony was detected by the vigilance and spirited conduct of . Lieutenant Calp , s, of the 38th Regiment, stationed - on the recruiting see vice at Stockport. who happeaing to be out partridge shooting, nt a small distance from the spot from whence the fowls were stolen, discovered them in the net - of .iecreting something. which, from observations he had before m a le, he conceived to' be fowls: and when they had made off with their booty, hr went to Lowe's house to give iuformation..—There being no person ready to pursue them, Lieut. Cross very gallantly under took this service, and followed them for near three miles,. partli over fields, and whil , t the four nteu were all together, near to the town 6f Stockport, he advanced towards them, and com manded them to surrenikr, threatened to fire upon any one of them that should attempt to escape. He marched them before the justice, (keeping at a proper distance in the tear of them' with his loaded gun), 'where they were severally searched, and fowls found upon three of thrill, which were identified by the owner, on the trial. The consequence was, that all Nur was sety-enced to imprisonment.. A few day: ago - Mr. Edmunds, of Comstone Water Head, Lancashire, shot an Eagle tl) log, very near . Swaithwaite, in (umberland, which measures across, when. the wings are ex tended, five feet and a 'half. An eagle had been seen iothat dis trict for thirty years before. A most daring robbery was committed early on Sunday sen night, in the house of Mr. Wm. Perry, a relsectable shop keeper in Merthyr-Tydvii, Glamorganshire; which, it is pretty accurately ascertained was effected by a single indivi dual.: baying broke into the house, he regaled hjmself with a giblet pye and a bottle of porter, and after packing up a va riety of articles, the villain put a hurting coal within the fold; of a table cloth, and placed the same in the drawer of a table, which he shut up closely, and by thus excluding the admission of air, fortunately prevented the effects his nefarious intentions had anticipated, and probably preserved the whole family from destruction. On the 13thinstant, as T. Gascoigne. Esq. eldest son of Sir T. Gastoigne, was hunting with Lord Scarborough's hounds, near Worksop, in leaping his horse over an uncommon hedge, he was throiin, when his back came with great violence against # large branch of a tree, so as to effect the spinal marrow ... , and Instantly parnlize his lower extremities.. He was conveyed tf; the house of Sir T. White, in the neighbourhood, where, ithstanding the ,ablest surgicial advice, he languished till Thursday last, when he expired. Monday morning, a man .having the care of a cart loaded vi ith manure, going up Highgate-hill, went to sleep on the Omit, when by a sodden Jolt he was thrown off, and the wheid going over his body, killed him on the spot. There is now residing in Stafford a man. of the name or . Wotan, who is at present married to his twenty sixth wife, and, has, by the whole, 73 children, and is 105 years of age, and: his present wife is now pregnant. wo melancholy accidents happened n few days ago, at. Leigh, near Tunbridge. As Hish Davis, the London Carrier, was coming down Ring-hill, near the village, one of his horsesticired him in the stomach nod knocked ma . down, when the. waggon went over him and killed him on the spot. And on the tse) Jost, when meat and drink were distributed among the pe4ple,, a boy, who was forbidden by his father to partake of the bounty, banged himself. On Tuesday last, the following eircurrstiince happened to Mr. Sinton, of the Shield-field-mill, near Newcastle. !laving stopped the mill and ascended one of the wand: to adjust the sail, the hrack suddenly giving way, he was carried round upon the arm of the mill for near a quarter of an hour. ills dis tressing and dangerous situation being perceived. by the prople at Pandora Dean• mill, assistance was iiieedily tent, and he was taken off without having received any bodily injury ; it waF., however, a considerable time before he recovered his recollec tion.
