THE GREEKS. 1, Meeting of the Greek Committee was hrld on Sa luda), at the Crown and Anchor, when a resolution was starred into to call a General Public Meeting in a few days, in order to raise a subscription in aid of the brave pople who have already nearly succeeded in their efforts to shake off the yoke of Ottoman barbarians. Lo►d Emetics was in the Chair, end the following distils- Knitted individuals were also present :—Lord Milton, Lord v.brington, Lord Nngent, Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Miste4l, M.P., Mr. J. Williams, M.P., Mr. J. Smith, tether with several Greeks of distinction. It was rePeetined to the Meeting, that 1,000 Germans have been (erred into a military body, by the aid of subscrip tions mist in Germany for the purpose of proceeding to the mishit, of the Greek Patriots, and that they are only waitiig for a ship, to convey them to the place of their destintion. The object of the Committee is, to raise money lufficient for defraying the charge of this equipment; :rid also to collect together, and convey to their own coustry, several unfortunate Greeks, who are now wanderink over the Continent; and who, owing to the tyranny of tie Continental Government, cannot get nway from any (tithe parts of France or Italy. - - • - EX-OFFICIO FII,S1) BY M It. SAIJRIN, AFTER IgDII;TMENT. In the summer of 1911, a young man of the name 0 1. 1 Leach, then a clerk inthe barrack-office, addressed a let ter under a fictitious signature to Sir E. B. Littlehsles, then military Secretary .0 the :rich Government. This letter stated that the barrack, mastership of the tempo rary barracks of Wicklow teas then vacant; tbat the payees 71. 6d. a day; and that 301)1. would be given for the appointment by the wrier, who would immediately attend to any commanicatiot made to him under such fic titioi? signature—and wouluobserve the most inviolable setre.y and strictest honodr. Thus much is matter of resod. We then under stand that Sir E. B. Litt!chalet directed the bearer of this letter to send 'he writer to him, at an appointed hour the next day. The interview took place aceordinglv, at Sir Edward's retidence in the Phoenix Park. We further and d, the Sir Edward had made arrangements that a Magistrate . Oltenia be within hear ing, though nut within view, diving the conversation between him and the writer of this letter. Sir Edward produced the letter to the person irtralneed to him, in quiring if he wore the writer—which the other admitted, and repeated the offer of giving 30%., in debentures, for the appointment. Sir Edward then :ailed in the Magis trate, and said—" Sir, you have heard what this fiends man has acknowledged ; here is his letter ; make him amenable to the law." Informations were immedistrly lodged against Mr. Leach on this transaction, and he was accordingly held to bail. On these inbrmations, an indictment at Com mon Law was preferred, by the Crown Solicitor, at the next Commission in the following October. The indict ment wa. sent up to the (hand Jury—they ignored the Dill. This excited some surprise, and the Jury were requested to reconsider the bill; the bill remained ig nored. On the next day,another indictment was sent up on the same charge; and Sir Edward in person attended, and was examined viva yore by the Grand Jury, which at that time was not the practice. The Court also addressed the Grand Jury on the subject; and, after all, the Grand Jury again returned—" No Bill." On this occasion, we understand that the Crown Lawyers rose up in Court, and expressed their determination to take another course. In the next November Term, which was in about a fortnight after, Mr. Sanrin, then Attorney-General, tiled an ex•opcio information against Mr. Leach, on this transaction, after the indictment was twice ignored. The general informations sworn on this occasion; the te:o bills of indictment preferred by the Crown Solicitor, with the return of the Grand Jury thereon ; the e.r.op eio information filed by Mr. Saurin, in the Michaelmas Term, ISI I, and subscribed by his signature in his own Land-writing; with the judgment made op and enrolled thereon, are all existing matter of record. —(Dublin Patriot.) REPRESENTATION OP Tug COONTT.—We are told tl at a very active canvass is goink on in this town and neighbourhood, with a view of putting Mr. Hutton, of Hulton-park. in nomination for the county, at the next election. In our opinion, it would be difficult to select a person much more unlit for his station ; but we should feel more strongly on the subject, if we had any partien lar regard for eitlier of the present members. Should, however, Mr. Hulton's pretensions be obtruded on the county, we trust there is public spirit enough in i to make the experiment a costly one.—{Manchester Gwqr law.) FATAL AceloaNy.—On the evening of Wednesday the 16th curt. other two gentlemen and Mr. Peter Stew art, svlio resides inthe neighbourhood of Blackford, were. on their way home from Gleneagles toll•bar. Mr. Stew art basing met his brother on the road, had occasion to stop a Mile to speak with Lim. On his return to his friends, he rude past them, desiring them to come away. They h ad: not gone far until one of them by a sudden hurt of his horse was thrown out of his saddle. He was butlittle hurt, aii• on getting up was surprised to find this accident occasioned by the body of a man apparent. ly dead, whom they soon recognized to be Stewart. It is supposed his I.,:rse made a sudden plunge to the side ; his head was much bruised, and his hat fuund ten paces io advance. Il e was i mme diat e ly carr ied t o a friend's house, a here every attention and medical aid teas pro cured him, until he had been removed to his own h one. He died, however, on the Friday morning, and has left a wife and eight children to deplore his untimely fate.— (Rdin. Star ) EXTRAORUINART INSTANCR OF FICCUNDITT.—Within the last fortnight, 33 ewes in the flock of 3. trey, Esq. Infield Hill, produced 100 lambs, of which 97 are liv ing; 32 of the ewes had three lambs each, and one bad four. The ewes in question are a part of a flock of 81)0 together, which have been bred from the purest sonrces of Leicester sheep, without a single cross of any descrip tion, and may be fairly adduced in proof of the position assumed by some eminent breeders, that a vigorous con sitation is not incompatible with purity of blood and re finement of form.—On Sunday the 13th instant, a cow b!long to hlr. Gowen, of %Vest Thirston, near Felton, cilved three calves, two bulls and one quey, all thriving remarkably well.—(Newcastle Chronicle.) A melancholy accident took place on Tuesday last at Filches Colliery, in the parish of West Bromwich.— Between eight and nine o'clock on that morning eight persons were at work in one of those pits, when a large quantity of coals, at least fifty tons weight, sud denly g age wl y and fell upon them, by which Thomas Pellowi and Thomas Pugh were kitleu on the spot, and several other workmen were severely injured, but it is hoped not mortally. An inquest upon Fellows and Pugh was held at Prince's End, on Wednesday, before Henry "smith, Esq., Coroner, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. _ ___....—. Coax EXCILLNOR.—The arrivals of Grain in general, that ease in last week, were tolerably good. This morning there is a fair supply of Wheat, from Essex and Kent ; and a few Vessels from the North, with Oats. The Whe..t trade still continues exceedingly dull, and the prices made this morning are,2s. to &v. per quer. below the rates of this day se'nnight. Barley finds buyers ready at the averaged quotations. In Beans, and Peas, there is no alteration ; from the terms of last Monday. The consumption of Oats continues very large, owing chiefly to the backward state of vegetation and buyers attending this market from a consider able distant* ; so)that the prices are again advanced Is. per ( Planer Mace this day se'unight. The Flour trasle is very heavy. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. DIAL, MAY 4.—WindW.E.Carite down from the river last eight and sailed, the Joseph and Dorothy, for Oporto; Sir H. Stanhope, for Mogadore.

On Saturday the Members of the Royal Academy gave their Anniversary Dinner, previous to the opening of the Exhibition, which was attended by a numerous assem blage of guests of the first rank and talent. On Tuesday evening last, about four o'clock, as Mr. Henry Chase, brewer, of Parsons-gre n, Fulham, was re turning from Chelsea, on horseback, in trying to avoiu two children, who were crossing the road, near Battersea Bridge, he pulled his hone up so soddenly, that he lost his seat, and pitched upon his head. Assistance was im mediately rendered him, and lie was conveyed home, where he lingered till about two o'clock the following morning, when he expired, leaving an affectionate widow and daughter to lament his loss, at the early age of thirty-four. ALARMING Rtor.—About twelve months since an Orange-lodge was established in Newton-Stewart, which, as usual, has proved the source of much mischief. The Catholics, who previous to that event, had conduct ed themselves with propriety, have been so irritated by this obnoxious society, that continual bickering and ill will have existed between them ever since. On the 9th ult., being the fair-day at Newton-Stewart, this petty wrangling broke out into an open rupture. The Catho lics from Creetown, Wigton, and (latehouse assembled in force at the fair, evidently with a view of giving battle to the Orangemen, who in their turn were not slow in ac cepting the challenge, and soon appeared in superior no mescal strength. A fierce coniflict immediately ensued, the combatants on both sides being armed with ponder. ous shillelaghs; and numerous broken heads and bloody noses bore ample testimony to the vindictive spirit of these lawless champions. 'l'he business of the fair was completely suspended, and the country people, to avoid the danger which threatened every peaceable person, were obliged to quit the town. After a ferocious contest of some hours. the Catholics were entirely driven from the scene of action, and compelled to take shelter in such houses as would give them admittance. The number of persons seriously hurt in this affair was so great, that it required a surgeon a whole night to dress their wounds. On the day following the Orangemen paraded through the town, exulting in their victory. The affair has since undergone a legal inquiry, and several of the rioters have been bound over to keep the peace.—(Scotch Paper.) On Thursday se'noight, as some workmen were open ing a drain in Hold -street, in Northampton, for the pur pose of cleaning it, they incautiously brought the candles into contact with what is termed the fire damp, which im mediately ignited to the height of 13 or 14 feet, when a considerable explosion took place, and the men's hair was singed, and their clothes set on fire. They have been long engaged in such work, but never saw any thing of that kind before, and thought it the effect of gunpowder, so instantaneous and powerful was the flash. SPORTING! 01P NATURIL—One day last week, a goose, belonging to Mr. Burnett, of Scavnes Hill, in completing her work of incubation, hatched a young one with two bodies four wings, ant: four legs. The bodies are united from t he neck to the thighs; but all below, with the bead, neck, and wings are perfectly natural.—And Mr. Steer, of the public-house, at Sompting, has a hen, which yesterday se'nnigbt laid five eggs, one as in ordinary, but the others very small, and without shells; and on the following day, the same hen laid three eggs, one of which was the usual size, and the other t o about as large as pigeons' eggs, and perfectly shelled. —(Sussex Advertiser.) A few days ago, one of Mr. Putland's flock ewes, yeaned at IVillingdon, four fair-sized, strong, and healthy lambs, which are now playful, and, assisted a little by the stock-bottle, are, with the ewe, doing well. Of the above fact there can he no doubt, as the lambs were all seen, by the shepherd, to drop from their darn. Four ewes, of the same flock, in the early part of this season, yeaned each three lambs, of which eleven are now living, and in a thriving state. A small sturdy ass, the property of Mr. Puttock, of Broyle Mill, Sussex, is by good treatment, rendered a tractableand useful animal. On Friday, in a small chaise, it drew Mr. P. and his wife, whose weight united is 2ti stone (horseman's weight), to Brighton (32 miles) in S hours, end returned the next day home in nine hours, with evident ease. _ _ The Weather since our last, though superior to what we have experienced fer several weeks past, is still at tended with hard frost at night and a slight fall of snow upon the fells, which the warmth of the sun dissipates during the day. These unnatural extremes of heat and cold have greatly retarded vegetation, and have been the means of raising the prices both of grain an 4! hay.— The lambing season hss also been most unpropitious and the meagre appearance of the grass fields has re duce' the price of stock more than 20percent. In many places among the high lands of the Borders, the farmer s' have scarcely been able to procure provender for their live stock ; and numbers of cattle have died front abso lute want.—The month of May, however, has commenced very auspiciously, and should the mild and temperate weather of the last two days continue for a few weeks, all the symptoms of a cold and backward season, so conspicuous at present, will have entirely disappeared.— (Carlisle Journal.) Cerruti° THICATIM—The spirited proprietor of this ele gant little theatre seems determined to place it as nearly on an equality with the Patent houses as the limits of his license will admit. In splendor of decoration, he is not confined, and seems to have been determined to prove it to the public in the last grand production of the Signing of Magna Charts by King John.—This interesting subject, wholly new to the stage, has been formed into one of the most effective and well constructed operas of the present day, and has been brought out with a degree of splendor, which has been as judiciously as liberally bestowed. The costume and man ners of our ancestors are correctly end magnificently illus trated —Regal splendor most vividly delineated. Two or three of the scenes certainly exceed any display of the sort we ever witnessed. The acting is in no respect inferior to the dec•.ratior ; and on the whole we must pronounce the drama of Magna Csharta to be one of the most gratifying ex hibitions that any Theatre has recently furnished, SIIITIMELD, MAY s.—The Market was but moderately supplied this morning, and the number of Sheep was ra ther short. Owing to the coolness of the weather they have kept up the prices, which may be quoted as on last Monday. The trade seems to be rather brisk. E sTif6itAt4 Docents, MAT I.—On Monday evening, a building on the so uth side of the Ward, which wss formerly used as dry ing lofts for carriers, but which was lately fitted up as a flax-spinning mill by Messrs. Sharp and Pres ton, was consumed by fire. For some time back. 4 the people in the immediate neighbourhood had lived in perpetual alarm, this building having been seve ral times before in danger, and having, from the craziness of the wall, last week communicated fire to a malt-barn attached to it. The fire in the present case originated in the middle flat,—a spark from a crevice in the chimney having communicated with the inflammable materials beside the wall: and in a moment (about half-past seven o'clock in the evening) the whole flat was wrapped in a sheet of flame. The work-people escap ed in haste, bat in safety,—except one man and a girl. who were somewhat scorched -The flames soon pene trated the upper floor; and in a few minutes destroyed the roof. The burning beams fell down with a crash ; and sent up a pillar of dusky fire, which illnmineti the air, and presented a strong contrast to the sober twilight around, and the clear blue sky. The effect was also heightened by the lurid glare, the dense rolling smoke, and fiery sparks, that fell upon the crowds of people who filled the rising ground or sat upon the walls and the , roofs, rising above each other as if in the seats of an am phitheatre. Scarcely Waif an hour bad yet elapsed when both the upper flats were completely destroyed, and the destructive element made its way to the ground-floor. A crowd of idlers hail taken possession of a tree within a few yards of the building: about this time, the trunk snap ped with their weight, and laid them all low. The fire continued to rage with uncontrollable fur ; though, hap pily, from the stillness of the evening an d the confined si tuation of the premises, there was hardly a breath of air to fan it. The fire-engines were soon on the spot, but as the ruin of the mill was certain, all efforts were con cen•rated to the saving of Mr. Blyth's property, and a large house belonging to Mr. Lan son, which was occu pied by many poor families. These families, in the justi tiabl:t alarm of the moment, threw their little furnitnre to the street, preparing themselves to follow. Had the wind blown strong et:ter from the north or the east, in that dangerous neighbourhood of spinning-mills and in flammable materials, the desolation must have been lament able. As it was, a range of small sheds, belonging to Mr. Blyth, in which flax was kept, was considerably injured, and a good deal of nut destroyed. As a man was carrying out a bundle, the dame from the mill e melt it ; but he saved himself by throwing it out of his arms. At nine o'clock, the conflagration had not ceased to have fuel ; but whatever the adventurous periling of life could do, was dere and dared. Some of the more valu able machinery in the lower fist is but little injured. The accidents of the night remain to be noticed. A young man lost four of his four teeth, by the stroke of a tile from the burning roof; a heckler was bruised by a fall ;and another person was hurt by falling headlong into the pond while lifting water. As it was not known that any lives were lost, no one regretted much the destruction of the mill. Much sympathy, however, was next day excited, when the workmen employed among the smok ing ruins came unexpectedly upon the mangled corpse of a weaver named Gilchrist. How he came by his death, remains unknown; but it is supposed that he had fallen from the wall, and been half crushed half suf focated. His corpse was carried home to his bereaved family. Some abandoned wretches, who prey upon the misfortunes of their neighbours, were busy while the fire was raging. A nuipber of articles of furniture and some bedclothes were carried away from the close in which they were placed for safety. A man, while working at the fire-engine, had his watch picked from his pocket. A gentleman in the crowd had his pocket-book, containing four or five pounds, taken from ltim. Two men were knocked down while returning home. &LOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, Sir Wm. Curtis. having gone to dine at his Son's, in Portland-place, the carriage, and horses bring as usual, eccammodated with parts of his Son's stabling, the Coachman in the act of throwing a horse-cloth over one of the horses, received so violent a kick from the Animal, as knocked out three teeth, broke his jaw -bone; and otherwise so lacerated his face, as to render his recovery doubtful. The poor man was im mediately taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and was this morning lingering in a bad condition. BniatlTON, Max s.—The Governess of a Brothel here, after seventeen years practice, is, at length, held in a re cognizance, to meet the reward doe to some part of her behaviour, as it may receive the united sanction of a Jury of her countrymen. The scenes of immorality brought to light, which she was the chief instrument employed in giving existence to, are of a character pecu liarly atrocious, inasmuch as extortion and fraud were but too successfully employed against the deluded ob jects whom poverty, more than inclination, perhaps, compelled to struggle for a precarious existence in the frightful vortex of dissipation. The leading personages, however, in this affair, and by whom the unprincipled Governess of the stew, alluded to, and the poor creatures within her control, were influenced, has been Mr. Webb, of indiscriminate, and, we may add, extravagant And ju dicious liberality, whose indecent participation therein, to us, savors much of insanity—it subjected Lim to the disgrace of being apprehended by a warrant, the result of which was, that lie is held in a heavy recognizance, with sureties, to be of good behaviour for the ensuing space of a year. If good behaviour means moral con duct, and the withholding of his property, rather than distribute it for demoralizing purposes, Mr. Webb, has reason to be thankful, and the public also, for the re straint which has thus been imposed upon his actions.— (Sussex Advertiser.) Workmen are employed at present in forming at Edinburgh the new street, to be called Claremont street, which runs in a line from Claremont-crescent to' the centre of Bellevue-crescent. 11 is street, it is un derstood, is to supersede that part of the lionnington road, which runs parallel with it, and it will form one of the most magnificent approaches to the city. It is only to be regretted, that the effect of it will be touch impaired by the great number of mean straggling houses at Broughton, where improvements are so very backward. At Arundel Market, on Tuesday, Mutton experienced ra- ther a brisk sale, at from 4s. 6d. to 41. 10,1.--Beef, 3s. 9d. to 4s.—Lamb (plentiful) ss. to ss.6d.—Veal, 4s. to 4s. 61. STel/NING BEAST MARKET, on Monday last, exhibited a good supply of fat Stock, for which the clitoral was pretty regular. Beef, :3s. BJ. to 4s.—Mutton, 45. Sd• to 4s. lod.—Lamb, (in large supply) averaged at about ss. 6d. At the llolsworthy fair, on Tuesday last, cattle sold heavily, and the late prices were &trained with difficulty.

The first race was for a Sweepstakes . etch, for horses not thorough bred, bona fide the jeesserty of Subscribers that had been hunted with the lilemblepoit hounds to carry 12st. eseb.—Eleven liorsei staetsit foe this race, and it was well contested between Mr. Ha m's eh: h.

The next race was for a Cup, the gift of tI4 Montle:sten of the Ilambledon Hunt, to be run for by horses Rl* thorough bred, the property of Farmers residing within the limits of the ilunt—for which seven horses started. NECK it NOTOINO.—A steeple ebuse for ibo soveielgni aside took place on Saturday between Captain Ileetham and J. S. Thissleton, Esq. ; the start took place within two milei of Oakingliam, on part of Windsor Forest, to go to a spot on! Alaidenhead Thicket, over thick enclosed ground. Captain Reetham was mounted do that celebrated hunter Thorn, and Mr. Thissleton rode his gray mare, one of the best of the Farley Hunt. The distance is about nine miles, in a straight direction, and the race was a very severe one. The compe.: titers gallopped together, taking across the country with many harardeus leaps until they reached Shotteabrook church, where they separated, each making the best of his way into the Bath road. Captain Beethant got into the road at Knowle Hill. and his opponent • mile er Maiden head, and they were a mile together from home on the high road. All depended now on speed, and Thorn has it. Tue Captain won the'race by about 200 yards. WILLIAM MACNAMARA, /HZ CZLZIRATSD MISR PEDESTRIAN. (PROM Tilt IRISH BELPAST PAPtIII A very singular, and we consider a very unpreeedenterl pedestrian effort was mast triumphantly performed by one of our countrymen on Tuesday last, within a quarter of a mile of this town. His name is William Macoaana ra —he is a light, active, well-proportioned man—accus tomed to exertions of this kind—and invariably snecessz ful in the performance of his great pedestrian duties. Russell, the Eaglishm an, who walked, within the last 2 months, 96 miles in 24 hoer!, roused the spirit and ex cited the emulation of all our countrymen—it was the first experiment tried in a regular methodical way, in Ireland. Macnarnara took fire at the example, and de termined, if possible, to throw Russell into the shade; he proposed walking (or running, as be pleased,) the same number of miles in the same time as Russell, with the incumbrance of a wheelbarrow—his hands of course, bound tap to a particular position ; his hien& expostulated, but to to purpose, and on Tuesday last, without fee or reward, but that reward *deb an Irishman feels in the consciousness of maintaining. the fame of his country, Nlarnatuara started at twelve o'clock, and walked 96 miles in 23 hours and 10 miuutee, carrying one wheelbarrow for 91 iriles, and two wheel. barrows for the last two miles. Russell walked the same number of miles in 23 hours and 30 minutes. Mac nsmara walked and trotted, as he pleased. As a walker. Russell appears to us to possess a holder and more vigor ous mode of movement, but we believe, without any un just partiality, Macnaniara would go over the tame space of ground in a considerably shorter time than Russell, —Mammas& was greatly received and cheered by his humbler countrymen ; perhaps the better classes of our commut,:ay saw there was no necessity for patronizing an Irishman— he could walk or stand alone—but Rus sell, being en Englishman and a stranger too, required the parental (protection of our Sovereign and Magis trates, and them followers, and perhaps this was en tirely as it should be. Russell got 42/. for his great effort, and we were heartily clad of it ; but is Macna mars, who is, at least, nut his interior, to receive less? BOXERS. --.4.-- SPRING AND NRATR.—The whole of the stakes, two Mo dred sovereigns aside, will he made good this day, Tbo whole of the money is ready on both sides, and betting IS !VCR. Carter wishes to fight James Ward on the same day that Spring and Neste fight, and at the same place. CRAWLEY AND ACTON.—To-morrow, within 9.t• miles of Loudon, the above pugilists will enter the ring together. TIM FaNev....Yarmouth and its neighbourhood anti cip stud a rich treat on Monday afternoon, in a pugilistic contest between two men not wholly unknown to the prize ring. Their names were Rushmer and Long, the former not very scientific, but a declared professor of the Cornish hog, and cross bottocking system, an.i the latter a soldier on the staff of the East Norfolk Regi ment, who promised his hackers "he would serve it nett to the ugly one in double ?nick tune." The scene of action was an ansphitheatrical sand pit, in Bradwell, round the sloping sides of which the spectators, who were computed at 6000, arranged themselves to contem plate the fan. Two to one were betted by the knowing ones in favour of the superior strength of Rushmer. After some preliminaries the men peeled, and sct•to, with a determination to make smashing work of it. In the first round Long hit short at the cheese trap of ilia opponent, but planted a smart hit upon his bread bys':ct which told round the ring ; Rushmer returned by a light right-handed b'uw, and then rushing forwari in rather an outre way, cross buttocked and fibbel his man with great violence. Long was thrown heavily and much bruised, and Rnslimer falling on him mancenerea his elbow into the other's body. Twenty-three rounds followed, much after the same manner, and cries of shame! s'.ame ! resounded from all parts of the ring. Rushmer, without venturing a blow, invariably closed with and threw his opponent, and was once or t .vice ob served, in the great indignation of the throng, to set his digits a gonging. At the end of twenty minutes Lowe was incapable of being brought to the scratch, and was in consequence carried off nearly insensible, after making a pliant though unavailing resistance to the Herculean strength and unfair fighting of his antagonist. The stakes were ten guineas aside. Long's second was an amateur, and Rtistimer's an old campaigner of 60 years standing. SPORTINO EXTRAORDINART.—A few days since, the attention of the inhabitants of Itchenor, %las attracted by the appearance of a stag on the opposite shore of the ricer, which after taking a survey of this arm of the sea, ithout ceremony took soil, and swain across, a distance of about six hundred yards; he then. majestically crossed the Park, and made his lair i s an adjoining covert. The keen sportsmen of the united parishes in the neighbour hood, had speedy information of this unexpected visitant, and the harriers were collected with speed, and laid on.his slot. The animal was soon roused, and broke cover in the most gallant style, and during a chace of two hours, topping every fence in his way, chewed capital sport, when being pressed by his staunch pursuers, he once mare attempted to cross the river, at West Wittering, but the tide being ebbed, lie got embayed in the mod, from which lie was extricated unhurt; ar.d is now in safe possession, no tidings having been yet received of his real owner. lames, APRIL 29.—1 n the early pin of last week, Mr. Winton, of Itingmer, near this town, sent as a pre sent to :tilt son, at liurwash, a duck and a drake, winch were properly secured in a hamper, and dispatched by a regular conveyance to Burwash, a dicta ice of 14 miles; but to Mr. Winton's utter astonishment, on vi. siting his poultry yard, last Friday morning, he beheld the identical drake he had presented to his san as above, waddling about with his old companions, as he had been wont to do! .
