CAMBKIIML, 01:WHIM 29.—The S.atonian prize was
yesterday .adjudged to the Rev. Hamilton Sidney, Ile-
resford, M.A. of Clare Hall, for his poem on The Death
Almilons.
At Marlborough, Salisbury, and Devizes fairs, held
within the last fortnight, the pickpockets are supposed to
have cleared from 700/. to WOE They were so successful
at Salisbury, that they came from thence to Devizes in
post-chaises.
An accident which hail well nigh been attended with
serious consequences, occurred on Thursday morning last,
within a few yards of Kinmount-house, the seat of the
most noble the Marquis of Queensberry. His Lordship,
who had just stepped into an open travelling carriage, with
the view, we understand, of posting to Edinburgh, bad only
proceedvd a short way from his mansion, when, on going
down a declivity which is terminated by a bridge, on.. of
the horses became so unruly that the carriage was over-
turned and precipitated over a height of nine feet. The
shock was so violent, that his Lordship was pitched to a
distance of several yards; but very fortunately he lighted
in a hazel bush, and we rejoice to add, did not receive the
slightest injury. A servant who occupied the dicky also
escaped without bodily harm ; but the poor driver was not
an fortunate. His bruises, however, arc neither serious nor
• likely to confine him long to house.—Dtonfeirs Courier.

to Id. per lb at Liverpool, and to id. here, in colisequence of the
unfavourable intelligence respecting die crops in the United

rially. This morning the umounts from Liverpool state, that
6000 bags were sold on AVednaday, at an advance of id. to id- per
lb., in addition to the previous improvement. The sal., of Cotton
in London for this week are abi.ut 9000 bags.
SUGAR.—The Sugar market early in the week was firm ; yes.
