BILTAI OF HEALTH.—Extract of a letter from Vice-
Admiral fiord Ame Hue Beauclerk, dated on board his
Majesty's ship Ocean, in the Tagus, 90th January, to the
Chairman of the Committee of Lloyd's :—" I beg have to
state to you, for the information of the merchants, under-
writers, &c. &c. of the metropolis and elsewhere, the great
inconvenience, u well as detriment and expense occasioned
to the property of vessels bound to Portugal or other places,
from not being provided with a bill of health, on sailing
from England. The law of Portugal puts every vessel not
so provided under four or five days quarantine. It has so
happened this winter that several veseels have put into
Lisbon in distress, and from not being provided with the
above precaution, the men of war, in rendering assistance
in two instances, were obliged to act with great precaution,
particularly to a brig called the Experiment, from London
to the coast of Africa, and a schooner, the Fanny, of Bristol,
bound to this port, which drove on shore near the bar, and
might have been got off the same tide had a bill of health
been produced. From the prompt assistance sent to her
not being allowed to be put into execution, she remained
three days on the sand,and at great expense in discharging
her cargo, u the authorities of the Health Office would not
allow the boats of the s4uadron under my orders to act."
TRADE or LIVERPOOL—Some exhilarating symptoms
of improvement in the complexion of trade in this town
was manifested during the last week ; cotton was in de-
mised at an advance. The stoppage of the bank of Mews.
Them. Crewdson and Co. of Manchester, has, however, had
tint IsOdency of lessening inquiry for it; this, we trust,
be Osbert duration, as the concerns of that hank must be
in a very narrow compass, and its assets sufficient, ulti-
mately, to meet all demands.—Liverpool Cuerier.
Messrs. Richard Thomas and Sons, of the Strand, have

The Lord Mayor has just received the following note 4
enclosing the within-mentioned sum for the service of the
Spitalßelds Weavers. The excellent Nobleman who has
so benevolently and largely contributed to the relief of the
starving population of Spitalfidds, has frequently trans+
milted to the Mansion-house sums of money for the use of

DIABOLICAL AND BARBAROUS ATTEMPT AT ASSAS-
SINATION.—III the afternoon of Tuesday se'nnight, as a
labourer was at work upon the road near Bassinghani, in
the vicinity of Lincoln, a man named Luke King, who had
formerly been a brickmaker, and is a worthless character,
came up to him and had some conversation with him, and
whilst they were so engaged, John Pearson, a shoemaker,
of Auuhrn, went past them on his way to the former vil-
lage. King, not knowing him, inquired of the road man
who and what he was, and where he might be going to.
The man not suspecting any evil (although he had previ.
ously discovered that King had a gun with him), satisfied
him as far as he war able, and added, that he thought he
might be going to Bassinghatn, to collect some of his
Christmas bills. "Fhe latter part of the answer appeared
to be the chief object of the fellow's inquiries, for after
having waited a considerable time for Pearson's return, he
at last met him, and, shortly afterwards, just as Pearson
was in the act of getting over a stile, he received the con.
tents of the fellow's gun in his back, who was then and
had kept within about twenty yards of him. The shoe^
maker, although wounded, turned round and exclaimed,
" Now, you villain, I'll make you suffer for this I know
you," and the villain immediately decamped, this,
was
taken in his house the same evening, Pearson having met
with a neighbour before he got home, to whom he related
ail the circumstances. In King's house were found three
or four old guns, the stocks of which were a good deal
fresh burnt, in order, it is supposed, to prevent suspicion
and identification. He was bad before Sir E. F. Brom•
head, Bart. of Thurlhy, who immediately committed him
to the Castle for trial. A ball has since been extracted
from the wounded man, which weighs an ounce, but d it
a good deal flattened in consequence of the obstructions it
necessarily would meet with in ita proms& through the
upper part of his back. He now lies in a d and

Th. tirgurnhnts in this cause were resumed today, and the facts
rii.pecti7g the leases turned out very different from what was ori-
ginally stated. An abstract of the deed of 1792, which was the
Mondatton of the claim, was handed to Mr. RoupeU by a Solicitor,
-who had formerly been engaged in the muse. This deed entirely
altered the whole of the circumstances relative to tire lases; and as
It appeared that the Master had not been furnished by either party
• with the neeesaary documents, and had been obliged to act without
a true knowledge of the facts of the case,
The Vicit-enawcgLena ordered that it should be again te.
ferred to the Master, with liberty for eilter party to submit to him
any new evidence which they might think proper. suggesting, at
'the same time, that it would save expense to carry in a new state-
ment of facts at once.

formerly in.titated a suit for the purpose of securing the due admi•

of the delays which he met wish, he had been induced to drop his

The latter made some remarks oo the manner in which the At-

'defendant had applied to Court to pay in balances, not for the pur-
pose of nullifying the suit of the Attorney-General, but for the
