On Saturday -morning -the landlord of the Half.! Moon Public-hOuse; Putney, was robbed of notes and cash amounting to upwards of 741. which he bad locked in his bureau for the purpose of paying his brewer. As soon as he discovered the rob bery, his suspicion fell on a private in a Regiment of Light Dragoons, who was quartered on him,and who - bore but a slight charader : he accordingly had him taken up, when the man .confessed the faa, and. implicated one of his comrades in the robbery;: in • whore possession the property, with, the exception . of one pound, was found. They are both coiinnit 'led to gaol for trial. An Inquisition was taken, on Monday, before G. HODGSON, Esq.

EDMUND'S, JULY 22. On Friday se'nnight a barn at Framlingham, be longing to S.. KILDERBEE, Esq. of Ipswich, was burnt down by the lightning. Scarcely a day has passed since the above-men tioned, without some severe tempest, in one part or other of this Couuty. On Thursday evening last the lightning and thunder were very sharp, when 12 lambs, grazing in a field belonging to Mr. THO MAs PAasoNs, of Great Barton, were struck dead. And on Monday the storm seems to bare been one of the most extraordinary ever remembered in this part of the ISlaricL From a quarter past one, for three hours, the sky was uniformly and deeply cloud e& and the rain and hail, with tew. and short inter vals,,canie down in torrents. Soon after the storm began, it was thought adviseable by the Magistrates 'attending .to the business of the Quarter Sessions in this town, to take down the great chandelier in the Shire-ball, it being deemed ? powerful condulor.; in doing this, however, mischief had very n ear ly happened, as the Clerk ofThe Peace narrowly escap ed Afatal blow from the fall of part of it. In a very few minutes after cline one of the strongest flashes, and a violent explosion, at thedistance of 2 seconds, equal to 2200 feet nearly; or little more . thane the 3d of a. mile. .:There were.three other explosions, the most distant of which from the flash did not ex ceed 8 seconds. The lightning was exceedingly red and dense. The only accidents that have yet come to _our knowledge-On the last mentioned day are that of Mare, in the pasture belonging to Mr. BCETON, of Ffirdwicke, being 'struck• dead under a tree, Which' was also shivered to pieces ; ; a poplar tree. in . the meadows, near Stamford. Bridge, which stands between two stacks of hay and stover, was stripped of its bark, and nearly split in halves,.but not thrown down, and most probably, by its .at , traaion, , preserved the. stacks from fire. 4. great quantity 'of coleworts, whiCh are now generally cut in „ this:neighbourhood, and lying on the ground,. were very materially. injured by the heavy fall of hail, and much of the growing corn .has been greatly. laid, though it is hoped not materi ally damaged. On Friday last a most melancholy accident oc curred at Sunderland Brewery.

The indignity and.seVerity with •which he Met and subdued -what he considered titr founded opposition ;' that keenness of sarcasm "With which:he repelled and withered (as it might be said) the powers of most of his assailants in debate, were exchanged in the society of his intimate friends for a kindness of heart a gentleness of demeanour, and' a playfulness of .goOd humour, which no one ever witnessed without interest, of participated without delight: His mind which, in the grasp and e*.tent of its capacity, seized with a quickness almost intuitive all the most important relations of political power and political ecotiutny, was not less uncOni rminly susceptible of all the light and elegant im pressions which forni the great charm of conversa tion to cultiated minds.•• - . This sensibility to the enjoyments .of-private friendship •gratly enhanced the.sacrifice,he made of every persOnal indulgence and comfort. to a rigid performance of- duty to the public ; that duty, for_ the last year Of his life, was•indeed of the most labo rious and unremitting kind. The strength of his at tachment to his Sovereign, and the ardour of his zeal for the welfare of his country, led him to forego not only every pleasure and amusement, but almost every pause and relaxation of business necessary to the preservation of •• health, till it was too late, in a frame like his, alas! for the preservation of life ! ! That life he sacrificed to his Country, nJt certainly like another most valuable and illustrious servant of the public (whose death has been deeply and Uni versally lamented), amidst those animating circum stances in which the inComparable hero often ven tured it ki battle, and at last resigned it for the most splendid of all his unexampled vii orieS ; but with that patriotic,self,deyotedness which looks for a re ward only in its own consciousness of right, and in its own secret sense of virtue. " The praise of virtue, of honour, and of disin terested purity, whether in public or private . charaCter, need scarcely be claimed for his memory; for those his enemies (if he now has any, which I ant - unwilling to believe, although some are frequently-endeavour ing to depreciate his merits) will not venture to, deny; and his country, in . whose cause they were exercised to the last,. will know how •to value and record them. That .they should be so valued and recorded is important on every principle of justice to the individual, and of benefit_ to the community, To an upright Minister in Great Britain, zealous/for the interest, and honour of his country, there is no reward of profit; ernolUment, Or patronage, which can be esteemed a compensation tbr the labours, the privations, the anxieties; or the dangers of his situa tion : it is in the approbation of his Sovereign, and', in the suffrage of his countrymen, added to his own conviction of having done every thing to deserve it, that he must look for that reward which is to con sole him for all the cares and troubles of his, station ; the oppOsition of rivals ; the mis,•reprkentation Of enemies; the desertion or peevishness of friends; and sometimes the mistaken censures of the peoPle.---. 'Tis the honourable ambition that looks beyOnd the present, time that must create, encourage, and sup port a 'virtuous, and enlightened Statesman ; tha't must confer on his mind the uprightness arid purity that rise abyve all self-advantage;' the cahrage that guards the Siite s _from ; foreign hostility or i n t er n a l laotion ; the firmness that must .often resist the wishes, to ensure the safety of the.,people. .

Ho the LORD CHIEF 13:IRON. _ROBERT RAFFERTY V. MICHAEL ROBINSON. Mr. Goistss stated the. Declaration, which charged that the Defendant, on-the- t-sth day of nuary.last, and on other days between that day and the 98th of the same month, committed anassault upon Bridget Baffertv, spinster, the daughter and servant of the Plaintiff; and debauched her, where.: by the Plaintiff lost the comfort and services of hif daughter. The damages for this injury were laid at t000l; and the Defendant pleaded not guilty. Bridget Rafferty ) the Plaintiff's daughter, eras then called, and. examined by Mr. GUINESS.--She deposed, that the Defendant and her father were intimate acquaintwxs—that the Defendant bad frequently dined at her father's house, and she con= sidered them as friends—that about half a year ago, she could not recolle6t the month, she was mum'- Mg to her tiither's house, after paying some iirolv for him, when she met the. Defendant at the coriwr of Church-street—this was in the morning 1l9;?14 . eleven o'clock—the Defendant told her be I,o* going to the house of one Mohr', a tailor, who used ,to work for her father, and desired her to come with him, which she at first declined; how .e'er, be prevailed on her to a:cornpany him, as si,w imagined, to Moran's house—the Defendant brYi her to a house on the Blind Quay 5 it was not Mo rm's--7the Witness declined going up stairsthe Defendant . got her up stairs by force, and pushed her info a garret-room ; , the doer of which he 10 k ,ed—he then swore he would have his will of ber--- , she shrieked •out- , --the, Defendant put his hand on her mouth, and having forced - her on a bed, per; petrated his purpose—she was detained in the room until, night. Being asked how she obtained her li berty ? she stated \ that. a woman came up t o t h e door and she made a noise—it was near 14 Alock at night—she was 'afraid to return .to her father's house; she went to her mistress—she kept transa&iun secretfromall her family but beryounger sister. • Some Witnesses were called t o impeach the cha raeter of the girl, but their evidence was we:ik Bud contradiCtory. The CHIEF BARON summed up the evidence, and in charging the Jury observed, that this was a new species of adion, so far as it related to the seduetion of a child. A master, - as had been properly stated, by the Plaintiff's Counsel, could at all tittles brini; an a&ion for the loss of the service of his'servani, but not merely for the seduEtion of his daughter ; however, the seduEtion of the child was a great aggravation of the offence, if the Jury believed the girl, for increasing the dainages. The credit of Ow Witnesses lay with Ole fury--so dki the appreiiatin4 the darnages ;. and if the defence set up was in their opinion taise, it ought to have weight; When they, catite to apportion the,sum. At first he th oug h t t h e defenee would have been, that tile girl had not been seduced, but had Suffered a rape. If such a fa& had come out, he would have stopped th e tr i a l , b ecause the trespass_, would has merged into a capital fe lony, and he 'would have sent the Defendant to ano ther tribunal, before which; should he be conviaed, the punishment would be death. The Jury, in a le‘tt minutes, brought in a Verdict for the Plaintitf,,_s,9.9l. Damages. ' • On the'l2th of July last the Anniversary of the • ,Battle of Aughritn was celebrated in th e t own o f Aughrim.

Regunent quartered at Ar magh, and whO did,not View it with perfeCt ference,. exchanged some angry and reproachful terms with some of the persons belonging to it ; and unfbrtunately the transition from words to b!o'xs was rapid in the extreme.
