Sons of * oew . end improved road from the eight s/tile stone on Roboroogh Down to Tavistock, is t a ken flit with e degree of spirit which is likely to TO., l ure iu being carried into effect. The proposed line o f road was last week milletely inspected by a most respectable assemblage of the neighbouring Gentle.' shoo , sod a Committee of the Trustees of the Turn- p ik e , when the survey'of Mr. Lakemen was envoi meetly approved - , and it wes agreed to recommend Its adoption; provided the fund of the troll, with, the aid of voluntary subscription, should be found . *depots to defray the estimated espences. Feeliog as we do % in a national pirint of view, the import, of a safe and speedy conveyance f rom " one part o f the kingdom to another, we cannot but be highly gra tified et the noble Pod liberal exatiple which hat,; been set by his Grace the bake of Bedford,' by offer.. jug a donation of one thousand pounds towards this desirable undertaking; and it has been signified, through Mr. Wilson, to be his Crsce's intention to glee the ',teal& lead belongins to him, over which, the intended road is to be made. We alp learn with mock satisfactitin, that a few public spiyited indivi., deals, who met on this occasion, subscribed the sum o f $OOl. by .way of• loin, free of interest, besides donations and liberal offers of advances upon the se curity of the tolls, which we are happy to find are not likely to biiocreased by theintended improvement, The many steep and dangerous bills between these towns and Tavistock, are too well known to require any particohtv'deseription from' is. If the object of the proposed line 'of road had merely embraced the idea of lessening the tremendous hill neer Ilorre bridge, we should have deemed the plan well worthy &be atteutiVit consideration of the Trustees of that turnpike; but when it is demonstrated that by wind ing round, instead of mounting over the summit of this terrific bill, the ascent and descent may be accomplished by an easy inclined plane of less than one foot in thirty, and the line of road extended in like manner to Taviatock, it is too obvious to require further explanation; that less power will do the same quantity of work, and that there will not only be a considerable saving in labour horses, but that the distance frorn place to place will be performed in less time, it most be very de sirable that every • facility should be given to the iOtOTCOSIOO between the populous towns of Ply. mouth Dock, and the interior of this extensive county, the key to which is the markets of Tavis- Sock, which by an' improved road will open a re. elprocal trade, and by an exchange of produce for imerchandite, prove advantageous to the inhabitants of the neighbouring districts. We therefore ear nestly hope, that no private feeling, or pecuniary consideration will stand in the way of an improve ment so evidently beneficial to the community.— (Plynseutis Telegraph.) BRIGHTON, Jura. 22. Yesterday, a fire broke out in the stubble field belonging to Mr. Wills, of .-Old Bell Farm, near a Salim Pad Posting.house, between Brighton and Arundel, which consemed the ricks, barns, husbandry implements, icc.. .Up to a Istethnor this morning the times were not 'anguished. The following is said to be the cause of Ws event :—Mr. Wills, being de. ~irons to clear iris grounds, ordered his men to mow the stubble; bat his orders being disobeyed, in a moment of impatience Mr. set it on fire, which Ito sooner lighted,•tban it spread over the surface of the land, and commenicated with the rick yard, where the whole of his produce was stacked, which was ecrem consumed by the devouring element.

His Lordship also paid considerable..itleution to the state of the Dock yard and shipping, beinglparticular in his enquiries on I .every. point connected with them. He went on bird the St. Vincent which has been opened to • mune eateot for a minute survey, and was much gra tified at.receiving the most farourihle report from the. shiP,w light officers of the soundness of her condition, which affords the best ground to hope that this fine ship will last as long, sod . ) ield as much satisfaction by her services to the Public, as the venerable Officer with whose name she has been honoured. It app osrs that his Lordship was led to hope, that the other ships, which have been ordered to be opened, would be fOund in an equally .good condition. After esamin- Hag the Breakwater on Monday, his Lordship, ac companied by Lord gsmouth, proceeded to the new watering place in Bovisand Bay. The teservoir being nearly completed, Mr. Whidby had the water let into it for the first •time, in the presence of his Lordship, who, together with Lord 1. - :stnouth, seem ed fully sensible of its. utility and advantages. The ',halation i of the reservoir is highly romantic, and united with the services it is capable of rendering to our ships and fieet4, fornis an object of peculiar at traction to the picturesque eye and the , patriotic mind. On Tuesday his Lordship dined with the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, being received on landing with a salute of seventeen pans from the battery at Barn pool. The following morning his Lordship took his departure for London. E I Mti rt • Likt%' l. 114 're ' At '. .~.

At this place diligent search was made, and all the proper enquiries instituted without success.— Royston, whose conduct is as *unaccountable as it is suspicious, led them from place to place, arid at length said that the.hody was interred in the church. yard.

Though the conduct of this unhappy man has in it sufficient to excite violent suspitions of his guilt, the evidence against him rests mainly on his own confession, and the Magistrate very properly judging that under such circumstances he would not bejustified in committing him for trial, ordered him jrf the present to be discharged.—( Leech Mercury.) day. biattbi Rorflo° • , • •••••”N * lt" - • .. -~..~~ . . , - • LetIVC4IST'E ft ASSIZES, 416. 1111 - *v .

Thomas Rogerson after-. wards told witness that the testator wished them 111 show it to Wilcox,' to see if it was right.. They did so. Wilco' made some alterations in it. The second will was written out and dated on the 9th of April. It was io,suhstance precisely the same as the first.--- , The testator having then recovered, and being seen by witneii walking to Chapel hod, he was in no hurry to bring hies the will. Mrs. Rogerson came t• him, and told him to hurry with the will. Ile did so. Ile found the testator lying very ill in bed, and a'ked him how he was. lie replied by the ques tion, !live you brought the will ? Ile read it to him. The testator said, "It will do now." Welsh and Byrne were then called in. In their presence the will was read over again and executed, the wit ness holding the testator's hind. The witness, Welsh, and Byrne attested it. The testator said his Home was hadly written. hot it would do. A Cler. own, O'Neil, afterwards attended the testator. — Ile died a day or two afterwards. This lively schoolmaster was most fi.lgety, and of-. forded high amusement antler Mr. Tiseeino' cross-, nomination. lie had known the testator about a year before.

He did not hear of any particular fall which the deceased had, by which his teeth were broken. lie had many .e (MIA ,lie, was fond of a drop. , Not only of' a sap,. bet of large quantities, which he preferred. He liked a large glass better than a small one. Ile was almost always drunk. He was not quite insensible when the will was executed. If witness ever said so, be must have been at the time very drunk. A signature, "W. Hogan," was here shown to him. He long persisted in tossing away the pater, and said he never signed 'his name " W. Hogan," but either " . Wm. Hogan," or William Hogan." Ile would not swear that the signature was not .his. He acknowledged the writing, and at length the signature, but added that he was very drunk when he wrote it. This paper set forth that William Hogan, if called upon in any Court of Justice, would right all parties, and added, that Thomas Jordan was quite insensible when he sigood the will. Witness said that Mrs. Rogerson had said to him, she should be ruined if be did not hasten with the will. . Ott his se.elarnittation, he said that Thomas Jos.. don, nephew of the deceased, brought him to Dublin, made Dim quite drunk, and then got that writing from him. The will was then produced, from the Prerogative Court in Dublin, and reed. Martha Rogerson was nowise in the box. Mick argument arose upon her admissibility. being a le- gatee under the will for 151. and her husband hiving . been a party to the suit in equity. It was answered, that she was released es i legatee, that tier husband was a witness, by the espies. order of the court .of Chancery ; that the only ground for objecting to,her was therefore removed, and that there was no kiloton . arising from the Costs, since, whatever the decision , here might be, the Lord Chancellor wouldlive costs according to his discretion. Mr. Justice I:34TLEY thought her admissible. Two letters were then put in and read: They, were written in 1802, by Thomas Jordan, then owls visit at Manchester, to Thrones Rogerson. Teey contained expresaions of great regard for him and his family, and .consplisitits against his friends ar Manchester. ". You cannot conceive what occtrii: drel my nephew 'Thomas is turned not." Martha Rogerton was then eximined. She sp.: peered very delicate, and had frectient recourse a glass of water, a smelling-hottle, and her chair, while examined by Mr. Williams.

APPREHENSION OF MR. HARVEY. About the period of the dissolution of Pas Us. meat, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, and of elegant manners, travelled in the west of England in a cordage and four, under the assumed name of Ilariey, and stated every Where that he was goi n g t o offer himself 'as a Candid+ for one of the Cornwall boroughs—varying the name of the borough as it suited his Purpose. In his progress, he introduced himself to a number of country bankers, to whom he elated tip object his had in view, observing, that no. thing was to be done without plenty of money at Borough elections, and producing at the same time letters of credit from bankers in London with whom they were connected. These letters were forgeries. Many of the bankers, acting with caution, declined crediting this impostor, but with others he was too successful. He is reported to have netted by bis fraudulent representatiOne upwards of 20,0001. The numerous frauds he-hid committed being soon after. wards discovered, he was traced to have sailed for France, where pursuit wastuade after him, but with. out effect. -Application being made by, the parties most interested to Lord Castlereagh, he wrote to the British. Envoys and Console abroad on the subject. Information was also ,dispatched to Bankers on the Continent. These various, measures were attended with the desired effect. The culprit was ultimately discovered at Turin iu the disguise of a servant; and, according to information, which reached town oat Friday, be was on his way to Englind. ander a proper escort. Property to the amount of 13,0001. is said to have been found upon him. . - The, Earldom 6f Ossory is claimed by JAMES FITZ.
