RYDEROAPCOt to their late mother's house in Park.stteet, for the purpose of inspdling - some papers and books, previously to their being removed to another, house. Having ItiOked over them, and seldied a part of the papers, which his Lordship had deposited, in .a small box, he. was proceeding down stairs, when, by some acci. dent his Lorkitip was precipitated down several steps, and teeeived so much injury froth the fall, that he was not able to raise himself from the ground. At this time Mr. It. RYD ER was with the butler in the pantry—the butler hearing, a noise, hastened to the stairs, where he found his Lordship almost in a lifeless 'state. He was immediately taken into the parlour, where several ot . the facility were sent for. After a consultation, it Was their unanimous opinion, that his Lordship ought not to be removed from the house, but be put immediately to bed; and that piece of furniture was procured As soon as possible from his Lordship's house. After he had reposed for some time, he was thought to he something better. In the evening he was : cupped, after which he again slept, and appeared corn. posed. When his Lordship intended to visit Odrk.streer, for the purpose above. Mentioned, he .had the pre. caution to wraps rtiunlhim a large box.coat, as the. .louse had not been properly aired for some time. This he had on at the time he fell, and it was sOp. posed to have bee'the primary cause of the accident, by entangling his legs in cothing down stairs. The. contusions his Lordship received were eXtremely Violent, but we hope they will not be attended by any serious consequences. A beautiful young Lady„ in her iath year, the daughter of an Officer of high . r4. in the Army, was discovered drowned in the sea 'near the Black Rock, Dublinoxan Saturday morning last. The Marquis of WELL es fair has lately sent over, from Bengal, twelve superb ivory chairs, elegantly ornamented with gold, as a present to Hit MA. 11tSTY ; and- yesterday they were removed from the East-India Warehouse, in Billiter.lane, to the Queen's House. Last week a Gentleman undertook, for a coml. detable wager, to walk from Strarhmiglo to Falk. land, in Scotland, a distance of three computed miles, in 25 minutes. He lost his bet by halt a minute. Roast ERY.—On the night between the 26:h and 27th ult. a robbery of a daring nature was com. mined in the Customhouse of Berwick upon TWeed. The villains had previously broken • open a smith's shop.on the qoay, where they possessed themselves of an iron crow and some other implements, which enabled them to force open and demolish a part of one of the windows of the Custom-house. Having thus secured themselves an entrance, they proceed. etc to break open and rifle the different desks. From that belonging to Mr. Thompson, the Comptroller, they carried off nearly • one hundred' pounds, and fortunately over.looked another considerable sum which had been that evening deposited under his wafer-box. They also took several letters, &c. part of which were nextroorningdicovered in the 'rwcetl, and one .was found on the road to Spite!. From this and other circumstances, it.was suspettett•that the thieves were in the nighhourhood, and a warrant .was in' consequence procured for the apprehension of two persons of the names of Chisholm and Riddell, the one a tailor, and the other a fisher. man, who had long lived in an extravagant man. ner, without any visible means of supporting On •Wednesday, they with a sister of the former, were lodged in Berwick gaol ; and -they have since acknowledged themselves guilty not only of the above burglary, but of several other robberies late ly committed in that neighhouthood. The villains in - their haste had left a, marlin-spike in one of the desks, and had attempted to set fire to the smith's . shop, as many pieces of burnt paper were found therein next morning : had this fire taken effect, the consequences might have been dreadful, being close adjoining to a warehouse in which Was'a great quart. City of tar, and also near the shipping in the bar. boor, and a ship-builder's yard. A robbery of a singular nature was 'perpetrated a few days ago in the immediate vicinity of Barnard. castle, Durham, by a felon of the winged tribe, As a young lad was proceeding from that town to a Gen. tleman in a neighbouring village, with a letter from. a Lady in Durham, a tame jackdaw whisking among the hedges, attracted by a white .objett in the boy's hand, pounced upon the 'letter, and flew away with it to the roof of an adjlirling house; upon which he chattered some time at the -apparent vexation of, the fetter-carrier. The owner of the letter, however, ,being soon after acquainted with the•robbery, went in pursuit of the rogue, and dis. covered him frisking with much glee upon the tops of the houses, with the letter in his bill. A close pursuit ensued, but with little success, till jock thought proper to end the frolic, by tearing the billet piece.meal, and then'flew away, leaving the tattered fragments to be colleCted at the leisure of the disappointed owner. .

Earlase Warren, who took away the Cargo, and paid fur it in Exchequer Bills. Grubb, thus possessed of money, appropriated it.to his own use, instead of proceeding with it to America. — His partner was, of course, involved in difficulties, anti was obliged for the. credit of "tlic House, to borrow io,ooo dollars of. different Merchants.---. Among others, the Plaintiff advanced 4000 dollars, and received a Bill drawn in the names of Grubb and Mathe, which was dishomiured.

It appe,4red that the Defendant, Kathy, had let a house. to the Plaintiff, at the tent of 151. per annum, and had distrained for a whole year's rent when only three quarters were due:— He 'eons:idled himself in the most oppressive man.. ner, and serica gnods worth upwards of 601. which we're sold for only jot.

Slil3Rl . Fr OF BERKS. This was an glion (r returning walla lona to a . fierifacierr, issued by the PlAintiff against the efreds of his brother. Mr. Galtitow stated, that an execution had been sued out against the Plaintiff's brother's goods for ioool. The Sheriff levied and sold them, not by public auction, as he ought to have ` done, but by pri. agate contract, for cool, 'lle did not mean to contend that a sale of effects by a •Sherilf, under an execu. flop, if fairly made, was not conclusive on a Plaintiff. He remembered it hail been -so ruled in a cause tried hefore the late Lord ICrNYOII. In that case the sale was considered as binding. But, in the present instance, he should prove that the identical goods which the Sheriff hail sold by pri. %rate contrad for 5001. were afterwards re-sold by auttion by the purchaseks; and produced near . gaol. If this was so; surely the Plaintiff was not . bound by the first sale, hut was entitled to his remedy against the Sheriff for what appeared to have been the . real value. of the goods. The faits: were proved as ;aided by the Learned Counsel. It appeared that the Sheriff had applied for time to make his return to the Writ, and had been allowed till a certain Monday to sell by ;maim), but that, on thepreviotis Saturday, he had disp•ised of them .by private ext. trait for a SUM fat-below their value ; the property consisted ,of household furniture, horses, and 14'3g. ions, and it was proved that for the latter e cattier had offered 7001. The defence consisted of an attempt to prove that the Sheriff was obliged proeced to a premature sale, in order to avoid being fixed with the debt, as the time for , returning. the Writ had exiiired; bitt this wholly failed. Lord'ELLENaottotrou observed, that there were many things in this transaction which he did not approve of; the Sheriff ought to have returned, that the goods remained in .his hands for want ,of' buyers, and the Court would have received such re. turn,,—Verditt fur the Plaintiff,AllnagCS 801.

The Society is composed of the Nobility and Gentry residing in all parts of the Kingdom; it is held at the White Hart, Bath, and professional Gentlemen being necessary to contri. bure to the harmony of the Concert, the Defendant and five others were chosen as men of ability. Mr. Bowen conceiving they might be punttual in their attendance if liberally treated,. agreed to pay a guinea each night of meeting, on condition of ex. - tenting a Bond, which the Defendant acceded to with the others, and signed, but absented himself on the commencement of the Concerts, supposing the contrati dissolved by a new arrangement made in the nights of Meeting, and the departure of the Marquis of Lansduwn, Dr. Harrington, and t wenty. seven other Members from the Society. It was consequently necessary to procure Substitutes, and the expence of bringing them from From and etis col amounted to fifteen guineas. It was contended, the Parties had been deceived in ,entering into the Bond. The Defendant was also represented. as a titan of merit, but not rich; it was observed lie had abundance of notes, but very few Bank Notts, Sit- JAMBS MANSFIELD blamed the parties for en. tering into the flood, and considered the Defendant liable to pay the fifteen guineas, but that the fix guineas, which he anti 'the otherh would have re_ ceived if they had performed, should be deduaed.

He verily believed that when the Defendant caught him by the coat, it was to bring him from the gunnel, -and save him from being drowned ; that , however, instead of obeying or yielding to intreaty, he grar. pled the Defendant near two spars, or spare masts, over which he fell ; that the Defendant did not strike or kick him, but ordered him to be carried down, Joh9 Dalton, .who swore that he was on 'deck during the transataion, corroborated this evidence.
