themselves until he could send a retnittancc by which they might join him; but from that time to the present no tidings have been received. Every week diminished the poor woman's stock of clothes, until at length not a single article was left in her posses sion to purchase a meal of bread for herself, a line girl, aged 16, who had been educated at a bAarding school, and a child about two years old. With no prospect but death from starvation, not having tasted food for two days, was this wretched woman and her family found by a clergyman residing at Somers • town, to whom her circumstances became providen tial y known. He witnessed their distresses, aggra vated by the young children sickening for the small pox; he afforded immediate relief, and through his means a subscription was commenced, by which the woman and daughter were clothed, and support afforded for these few weeks past. Under the hope of placing her in a school, by which she might sup port herself, her friends were active in collecting subscriptions, when this charge was preferred, and the suffering- of this wretched woman were further increased by her being committed to prison. As the fact. was proved that she did pledge the blanket, though in the height of her distress to procure food, the worthy magistrate was obliged to inflict the penalty under the pawnbrokers' act, which amounted to 263.; this sum was paid by her humane friends, rn preVent her being re-committed to prison for a - KG nth. hily of Mr. G.

Bean and Pea sow ing may be said in be concluded; and many farmers have began to put in Barley and Onto. The lands approptisted to these milts never were known to work better; espe cially where ploughed dry, and early in winter. The surfaee is completely friable, and even the stiffest and Inost - unmanageable clays ate thus rendered as fine in fink as a garden. It is slot so mulch the frost (for of this we have had hot little) as the sharp drought of last summer, that ins wrought this change in what may be called the constitution of the soil ; for the turnip lands, which are but nor ploughrifoind which have never been exposed to the influence of frost, break up dry, crumbly, and full of mould.—Follows fur to the same. In some cases these have received the second and even the third earth, mud the dry weather has been grimily in favour of them. The Wheats have grown *ery much during the mouth, and are looking as well as can be wished ; on the light lands indeed they are very full of weeds, but the season . has inched early hoeing. and, in consequence, more of this a ork has been dent than is nstialso soon in the Spring. The employment of the pour is not the least of the advan tages of this necessity of amending to the growing crops. —Ntisty flocks ale in the height of lambing ; and others have got through this at &lona and trying season with c ;•arattse • use, and little loss. Indeed all kinds of Cattle have dour well; a drying Swing is always In their favour. The stock of tut nips is wearing away, and we. most bind fur favoitrable growing weather in April to make up the deficiency. Ti:e . Coin Markets are snitch lower and such is the uncertain state of Ilti igs, that the merchants seem afraid to make pumCha•es, even at tt•tlncrd rates. Bury Fair, which for so many years past has been the resort of the fashion and rank of this and the neighbouring counties, will, we understand, have an additional attraction thu year ; as the lease from the Corporation of the Fairs and Mar kets is expired. and another has been granted for the term of 14 years to Mr. Samuel Ray, carpenter. The arrangement is to be under the dirmion of a Committee, who have consulted both the convenience and acceotnrnodation of those who attend to dis- pose of their goods, and visitors either for business or amuse. ment. On Wednesday the 17th ult. the Beaufoy, Captain Norris, one of the Post-office packets upon the Harwich station, on her voyage from Cuxhaven, encountered one of the most dreadful gales of wind. accompanied by thunder and lightning, that has ever been witnessed ; during which a tremendous sea struck her, which carried away her mast, bulwarks, stauncheons, and left not a vestige of any thing upon deck. Most melancholy to re late, the Captain and two of the men, who were upon deck at the time, perished. After beating about at the mercy of the waves fur two days, she was towed into the Weser by a H e li go land boat. Captain Norris was a yottnLman of most superior abili ties in his , and in his as well as private capa city, awgillassevelky respected. He was only 33 years of age. has left a widow and few elladren deeply to rwret, in MOANS with those wimp bag/ cob loss of an upright man, an allesdonate father. dad alitedle A few days ago, twenty-one goslings worth 55. each, were stolen from Mr. Noah .Aytme, of Wymondhatn; Mr. A. in consequence offered their value to any person who would discover the thief. A man named Hammond, it seems, suspected it was William Doubleday, fowl bnyer, of Hingham, whom he knew was gone to Epping to sell goslings—he therefore procured Mr. Ayton's goose, pro ceeded thither and found Doubleday with them ; he then set down the goose, and the twenty-one goslings immedi ately left the rest and came about her. Doubleday is in conseqnence committed to Chelmsford gaol for trial. It 16 a little singular that Doubleday's father about three years since eloped with another man's wife from Attie borough, and was at the last Huntingdon Assizes sen tenced to fourteen )ears transportation for uttering forged nudes. At Thetford Assizes, Thomas Tunmore, of Bunwell, was acquitted of stealing a horse from Mr. Gilman of Carbrook, in consequence of which lie returned home on Thursday se'nnight. The next d.ty he was agaio apprehended on the charge of steal ing one from Mr. Gall, of New Beckenham, about 9 months since, and which our readers will recollect was sold to Mr. Goose, of this city, a few minutes pre►iots to Mr. Gall's arrival. On Tuesday se'nnight, the White Horse public-house at Kennioghall was entered and robbed of three bottles of spirits, he-idea a veal pie and some silver table spoons, with which the thieves decamped, after plentifully regalia/ themselves.
