The introduflion of the following articles, (re.
corded by Granger) though they have more imme-
diate referende to former Ones, we are piistraded,
will be deemed seasonable, by many of our readers,
at the present period :

As the author may reasonably he presumed to
have expected prrlerrneot, he would scarcely have
ventured to publish send set his name to a perform-
ance, which he knew would be disagreeable to
his patron, at so critical a juntiure.
A few days since, the ballot, under the Training
A& took place for the Rape of Lewes, and fermi-
sated to the entire satistadion of all who escaped
the draft.

A black pointer bitch, which was lost on the
Moors, near Maresfield, in September last, was
discovered a few days %ince by a Gamekeeper in the
service of Miss Shucki,urgh Evelyn, on Ashdown
Forest, not very far from the spot on which she was
missed by her owner. in September. The Game-
keeper first found, among the heath, a litter of her
puppies, which he watched a considerable time, but
no parent mi.king her appearance, be surrounded
the cubs with some stick.. stuck in the, ground, and
left them for the 'veiling. Early the next morning,
the man visited his foundlings, and, as he expeeted,
saw their arreirlionare mother. the poiqter bitch, la.
bowing, with great diligence, to eta a subtetra-
neon, passage to her little roes. ovititB man's ap-
proach, she wagged her tail, and watched, with the
greatest apparent anxiety, while he removed the
,ence from her puppies, when she instantly laid
down and quietly sai.kled them. File above ani.
mal must have •uhtisted during the autumn and
winter on ra►bus a•:dvcrm.n ; hut.'tis extraordinary,
that she should have so long secluded herself from
the haunts of man, and yet have preserved her gen-
tleness and docility. The bitch was advertised in the
Lewis Paper, with a guinea reward for bar recovery,
to be paid by Mr Sprange. at Tunbridge Wells, on
the 13th of September last.

Last Tuesday, j.rites Stiontreet; and Samuel
Burekeit, of the pa: sh of Waldron, who had been
detefted in stealing oats, in a granary at Reathfield,
belonging to our late High Sheriff. was pot into the
custody of the constable of the district, to be con-
veyed to this town for examination. He according.
ly handcuffed then. •agether, and having procured
the assist,nce of n CO other persons, proceeded on
his way hither win his charge, armed with a leaded
pistol ; but iii the absence of his assistant;, who
had, on some occasion. loitered behind, and before
his arrival at Horsebridge, where a chaise was to
have been provioed, 'l, incautiously approached his
prisoners to eanirnine their handcuffs, when they
instantl! closed rpm him, wrested the pistol from
his hand, and tl.rew him down, which they had no
'e .nee effected, than they drew from his pocket the
it of their mans,..,, unshackled themselves, and
got clear off. The constable, in his exertions to
prevent their escape, received some slight bruises,
but no material injury.
On Satur 'ay evening yaw Simestreet, jush
son of Str.ii, greet, the :wove offender, being charg-
ed on stir:civil of having, on the preceding night,
firel a loaded pistol at one John Tay-
lor. will, WWI other persons, had laid himself up
to watch the premises of the elder Stonestreet, in
exprdatioai of his returning home, was brought to
this town, and examined before J. M. Cripps, Esq.
who committed him to the House of Carnelian,
for further examination.

Eduard Message, who, to avoid the punishment
ordered by the Court at our last Q wire Sesssions.
entered into His Majesty's service, was at the same
time committed to our House of Correaion, on
suspicion of being a deserter, having been appre-
hended about one o'clock the same morning, going
into a house, in the neighbourhood of old Stone-
street, which Wits watched also.

Last Tuesday, as two young men, named Samuel
Ford, sod John Comm, were at work in the
Chalk pit, at Bridgewick, on the Riagmer•road, a
large portion of its shelving part, immediately
above their heads, unexpettedly fell, and over-
sshelmed them. They were dug out alive, but
most dreadfully hurt. Ford, in addition to the
severe bruises he rc:i•ived on different parts of his
body, had one of his legs ft-a/lured, his internal
parts much injured, and one of his hands so much
lacerated, that lie was obliged to have part of it am-
putated.

Cotsam's bruises were received principally on
his head, and their violence caused a concussion of
the brain; but yesterday, though he had lain
several days in a state of great danger, he betrayed
favourable symptoms; and we hear that the sur.
germ who atten is these unfortunate men, is not with-
out lives of recovering them both.
A few yea.: age., a man missed Smith, was killed.
by a similar accident, in the same chalk-pit.
