It is a matter of surprise to unit persons who ate in the
habit of visiting the markets, that the price of meat should
corninne so exorbitantly high, notwithstanding the unques-
tlonahle abundance of the late season, which ought, from
natural causes, to have brought the prices of articles more
to a level ; but the disproportion between the price of cattle
and corn is evidently very great, and forms an anomaly for'
which we are at a lots to account.—Niter Gazette.
One of those disgraceful outrages, which only the most
mischievous of mankind could have devised, and only the
most barbarous have perpetrated, was committed at
Tewkesbury, on SAturday se'unight ; and although it
might have begun only in folly, it terminated in a felony of
the worst description. Some miscreants broke into the
garden of Mr. Iligginson, surgeon, and plundered the
aviary of two brace of beautiful pheasants, which they
cruelly killed by beating their heads against the wall, and
not only plucked the line feathers from the poor birds they
destroyed and carried away, but tore the tails and plum-
age from several others which they left behind alive. The
feathers were found on the following morning scatteted
about the garden. A reward of 50/. has been offered for
the discover. of the perpetrators. On the same.night, six-
teen of the town lamps were wantonly broken ; and as the
Granting parties are known, they will doubtlessly suffer
thi' severest penalty which the law will allow.
ALARMING Fr er.—Soon after three o'clock yesterday
horning a Are broke out in the lower part of the house of
Mr. Alridge, cheesemonger, of Stafford-street, St. James's.
The alarm soon aroused the inmates, and they escaped un-
Mated, with the exception of one of the shopmen, who
sltf irt the bac& attic, and who, in endeavouring to get
months roof, his foot slipped, and he wasprecipi tated above
twenty feet, and alighting on the lead gutter of a lower
blending, he was found stretched nearly lifeless. He was
taken to the hospital much injured, but it is ascertained
that no hones are broken. The flames continued to rage
through the lower part of the building,. but were subdued
in lets tbau half an hour, through the activity of the
neighbours, ere. It is supposed the fire originated in the
sicape of a quantity of gas from the main pipe in theceilar.
Met. Alridge M so ill, from the effects of the fright,
Oat serious apprehensions for her recovery are enter-
tained.
