It appeared that a short time, after the ewes" were taken to Plaintiff's farm, that they had the symptoms of-the rot, began todie, and upon beipgopened appeared to have had the rota considerable time ; a number' of respeatble gra ' ziers and other competeht judges had InspeCed them, and proved that they must have caught the disorder some months before they were tarn& by the Plaintiil; and it also appeared that., ,- , the farms at Alton and Bar-. ford, where. the Defendant resided,,there. were 'several water meadows, into which the sheep were put pre-' vious: to the fair, which might occasion the rot, and that the land of the PlEintiff was very healthy an'd dry, had no water meadows, was never known to rot sheep, and that his sheep were , all sound, except those bought of the Defendant at Wilton Pair. The evidence on-both sides being cflOsed, the Judge very impartially summed' up the whole, and observed, that the witnesses had proved the warranty of the sheep and directed the Jury to decide whether the disorder was caught before they were sold and war ranted sound by- the Defendant at i Wilton Tait', or afterwards, while they were in possession of the Plaintiff. The Jury found a verdid for the PlAintiff of 571. I is.

'The efte6sot urs d ay' i ,stone has cnfdr unatelti been most severely felt aboutiqary-le-bone and 0I ford , street. In the neighbourhood of Sti'atford; place the lower apartments were inundated ; in consequence of the bloWing up, of the main sewer. .The scenes oldistress occasioned to the poor inha bitants— of Gee's -court, Barrett's-court, and. parts idjace'fit,' who , mostly live in cellars and kitchens, cannot be described, occasioned by. the loss of pro perty,and being driven from their homes., The sewer, fell in immediately und er th e. hO u i e S at. the Upper part of South Moulton -street, whete, after the workmen had removed some of the ob stru6tions, the rush of the torrent was imineuseyand carried all before it. Two houses are so much damaged that they are • expeEted to fall; the inhabitants have moved out. One man, a Sbidler in the 3d Guards, was =tied away,by the torrent, and,has not since beeti found he has left a wife and two children. The damacre done is estimated to amount to a con siderable stun: The two servants at the house of HODSoLL and STIRLING, in the Strand, were not, we find; knock ed. down by the storm . on 'Z'hursday la3t, but by the rough hand of Report. The former, no doubt, was the cause of great mischief, but'the tatter May, be expeaed to perpetrate full as" much. - - During the thunder-storm on Thursday, the in habitants of Pall Mall were alarmed by the most atTeEting cries, which, on inquiry, they found pro ceeded trom the great dog at the Duke of MARL BOROUGH'S, whobe chain serving as a . conduaor for the lightning; the poOr animal was so affetacd, that it was feared he would have gone mad. It was a considerable time before the servants dared venture near, him 'to i.mloosehis chain.

INCLEDON is, warbling at Edinbuigh,..' where he has introduced a miscellaneous compound of music and .recitation, under the titl e of ; or, Harvest Halle. . The recitations are delivered by BARTLEY, of Drury-lane Theatre. Miss SMITH has been - , very attraOciVe at Edin burgh, and has been patronized in private life- by some of the most respe6table families in that place.

She is to, perform a -few night's at Sheffield. when her Edinburgh engagement:ekpires.•• The late visit of thotheatrical veteran, SMITH, to thea‘letropolis was occasioned by the inquiry into Lord CRADwarifTWill, in Which he is a Legatee for a' sum much below his merits, and the services he rendered to :the Testator at a very critical period of his life. The Windsor Theatre is to cii)en for the • season. on Monday next, under a: new Matiager, the veteran' TNORNTON having disposed of his interest in that property.

The Theatre lias been newly embellished in a very handsome style ; the interior has been painted in three coltiurs, white, buff, and crimson', and the Theatre' altogether is elegantly and 'tastefully ornamented. Th e Royal Arms over the curtain are represented'on painted &lass, and the effea is beautiful.

This reyolution as produced by a report that Sancho was not well. At a quarter. to two his Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES arrived, upon the-ground, in his:baronche and ,six beautiful greys. His, Royal Hi g h ness sat upon the barouche seat, and was dtiven by Sir JOHN LADE. The company inside were the Earl of alit LINGTON, Mr. SMITH, and three other Gentlemen: The barouche drove up towards the Judges' box, and took its station at a distance of 'aboilt twenty yards from it. Mr. IsvlELLisx, the'cwner of Sancho, drove up soon 'after, : in 'Lis barouche and' four beautiful greys, with the C oun t ess o f BARRYMORE, and three other Ladies inside. At two o'clock, the two horses . came upon - the ground; Pavilion was the first. He. was walked the length 'of the railing, and Was surrounded by the company, who were, greitly pleased with his fine appearance. Great activity was, now used to clear the course? no person being suffered inside the rail ing. In this business -Mr. MELLisit shewed great anxiety, and _exerted himself.l7ery much:" At five minutes past : two the horses were saddled, and Mr. MELLISH went up to Sancho, and led him about ten yards betbre the start. BUCKLE rode Sancho, in a white jacket and crimson sleeves. Pavilion was rode by young, CHUTNEY, in a light-orange jacket, with gold laCe, stripes. E,xpedation was now raised to its extreme . height. • '-The: moment of trial at length arrived, and the horses started .at ten minutes past 'two, Pavilion took the lead, and kept it about four lengths for the first two miles. Sunda) now began to fetch up his distance, and gained about a length ni the third mile. Five minutes had now elapsed, and the two horses had .turned •the post, Pavilion maintaining his last mentioned distance a-tead of Sancho. TCe bets now ran two to one upon Pavilion. Just on the flat, at the commencement of the last mile, the grand struggle, and display of speed and jockeyship cottline.nced. In running home this last:tnile, Sancho feltlimself upon the ground where he usually made his pushes,-ant BUCKLE now pursued the same sys tem:, He in a fine style' up to Pavilion, passed hint, -and for a moment victory appeared doubtful. This arduons- and anxious struggle lasted:until the horses came, up to the distance-post,' when, to the great sorrow and disappointMent of every one who did not gain by the event, Sancho broke'completely down,. Pavilion ran home, and won easy. • It was it; his near fore-foot that Sancho , failed. He was so lame, it, was with difficulty he Carded hiS weight to the winning post. Just at the moment Sancho broke down, the odds had changed greatly in his favour, and sto I was betted, upon him. Pa vilion did not appear in the least &Stressed. Mr. -upon this it is said, hat 1 .20,0 0 01. depending -upon. this match, including the 2,0001. for which the match was made.

Mr. GIFFARD concluded by mooing two, Resolutions, the first expressive of the opinion of the Assembly, that the rights and charter: of the Corporations should be preserved inviolate ; and dig second, intimating that Sir John Newport's Nil would be an infringement on -those - rights and `pri-; vilekes: • ~iF 7c The Recorder statedthe ,Substanc e o f t he ti ll; Saiet;4•AS put into his h an dS b y one of the Members for Dublin.
