1110 M THE KIVOSTON DAILY aDVERT!SER, OCT. 8.
ST. JAOO DE LA VEGA, OCT. 6.
A correspondent near Black River has transmitted
to us the following account of a most awful and
alarming phenomenon, which made its appearance
in Middle Quarters, in the parish of St. Elizabeth,
..n Monday the '2lth of September. about four
. 'dock in the afternoon. began with very heavy
black clouds, as if there was a deluge of rain
ready to fall. It was presently afterwards ac-
companied with a dreadful roaring nt,ise, as if
a violent squall of re;,. with sy;iirl was coining
on, but much more loud and horrible. There was
soon the appearance of a large gluhe rising from
the earth, and ascending into the atmosphere, oc-
casioning very violent commotion and convulsions
in the earth. The fall of trees was distinctly heard,
and large limbs thereof, together with i::rrumerable
birds, were seen carried to an immense ire,ght in the
air, the clouds at the same time convulsed in the
most awful and terrific manner. There was then
seen what resembled a water-spout, but no water
fell from it. This continued its course from the
North East to the Southward, carrying all before
it, tearing up log-wcod, cotton-trees, &c. by the
roots, andwhirling upin the air the limbs of the larg-
est trees, having at the same time the appearance of
fire, attended with a thick black smoke, which as-
cended from it in its course, and a report like guns
going off. This continued nearly an hour, and its
course was upwards of a mite. The appearance
V. AS so awful, and of so extraordinary a ',Ante, that
!ne while neighbourhood, and elf that saw it, were
alarmed beyond measure, not knowing when it
would rad. Fortunately, it Ic-pt its course where
do dwellings or buildings were, otherwise they must
inevitably have been destroyed; as the stmngest
buildings could not have withstood the violent force
GI this awful convulsion of nature.

FALCUAERS HALL.

ROYAL HART CHACE.

On Tuesday last, at eleven o'clock, according to
the r.otice in our I..st Herold, each sportsman on the
%Colds. 'lnd around, win, thought his horse supe-
ri sr in blood and speed, made his appearance at
Fuels( :ve : it was soon known that the Royal Hart
Thoinvi:lo, was at Colonel Thornton's farm, at
roythorp, whither the company drew. At ten mi-
rutes before twelve, Sir Mark Sykes, the Driffield
Haat, and horsemen in number about 100 (a very
nianageahle field), being all ready, Colonel Thornton
ordered the door of tha pen to be thrown open, and
the Ilart made his appearance, but took quite
a contrary direction from what was wished he
merrier: far, sleek, and modest ; he soon, however,
bounded over a pretty high fence, and took Boy-
INA p Great Sheep Walk, and seeing the hounds at
a distance (who luckily did not see him) he went
away gallantly op to Falciincr's Hall Great Whin-
raid, and as he now was seen about two or thtee
rules forward, the steady hound Co:/sel was laid on
the scent to drive him. so thai he might not loiter ;
the Pack in twenty minutes were then brought to
the line, and a finer or more sharp burst was
never seen than what took place through Sir Mark
Sykcs's• High Wood, Butters( ick Wold, and
across that extensive fine turf Sherburn
CVO*/ bad got up to him, butlhe soon disengaged
him.elf, by kriewkihg him over, and bounding the
fence. Here the park ss are stopped, and the horses
allowed twenty minutes to breathe ; they then were
permitted to go on. and another sharp burst took
place in Sir Mark Sykcs's plantations. A greyhound
and a niongi el mastiff coming out of the cove. , mach
it clear they had run the hart, and possibly killed
him, the le aunds did not acknowledge any scent
further. After much search in the upper and lower
corers, the hound At.dirh, one of Ord c onqueror's
t.i.s'w. at last gave tongue, all immediately from
a thicket out bounded the hark; hlutlish attempted
to seize him, but was knocked down by the deer ;
she attacked him ag.iin, wirin he bounded over the
fence. Ihe trust WAS most tremendous. He took
the wide Wold over tlesler on; descended the

LA Jr.
COURT OF KING'i BENCH, WESTAIINSIa Nov. 46
At nine o'clock this morning Lord Et tattoo-
R OUGII sat at Nei Priter. Five undefended causes,
of no moment to the Public, were disposed ot.
GEoace Lord KLNVON, and Joon RICHAILD
SON, I.sq. Barrister at Law, after the Patent buinj
read, appointing them to the office of Keepers id
the Writs of the Court of King's Bench, took the
usual oaths.
THE KING V. JOHN SYDNEY.
The Defendant is this case was brought np to re-
ceive the judgment of the Court, far an a,simit
upon Jessy Hilton, of which he had been convicted
the last Assizes for Warwick. Ile had been brought
up the 15th iust. when the Judge's report and the
affidavits were read, which we laid before our
readers, in our paper of the 111th instant.
Mr. Justice GROSF, in pronouncing the judgment
of the Court, observed, that the Defendant had
been most properly convicted of a most atrocious
and violent assault, and that it was by no means
owing to his own prudence that he was not tried for
a capital offence. He had committed this era within
the borough of Warwick, for the purpose of o!)-
striating the Prosecutor in the execution of a duty
which he owed to the public, in deteEling the illegal
removal of some malt ; his waylaying the unfortu-
nate man, and his subsequent condul, disclosed a
scene of the most diabolical nature. The conduit
of the Grand Jury of that borough was highly re-
prehensible : they had not only thrown out the in-
diament, but treated the Prosecutor with the utmost
indignity, disgraceful to the judicature of the coun-
try to a great degree, some of them also appeared to
be maltsters. By the assault, the Prosecutor was de-
prived of the sight of one of his eyes, and otherwise
injured, so as to r ender him totally unable to earn his
bre scl ; some restitution was due to the public, and,
at least, contrition on the part of the Defendant; but
no such had ever appeared, and he had the-audacity,
upon the trial, to sub.'rn two miserable witnesses,
who swore they saw the Prosecutor (by moonlight)
give the first assault. whoa there was no moon until
two nights after. Upon the whole, the Learned
Judge nbs'•rved, the case admitted no fad of atone-
ment contrition whatsoever ; and, taking all cir-
tun:manor. s into cons'cleration, the Court adjudged
that t'•e Defendan, should be imprisoned in the gaol
of Warwick the the rm of two yens, and at the ex-
piration of that that he should enter into securi-
ties to keep the peace for seven years, himself in IUOI.
and two sureties in 501. each.
AINO O. JOHN MILES.
This Deferdant was hi•.ught up, on Thursday
last, and reman ied until this day. He had been
convicted, at the last Mai.inone Assizes, for having
in his josses ion various articles of tumid stores,
marked with the King's mark, and belonging to His
Majesty's Dock-Yards at Chatham, where he had
been some trme employed as 4 dab), labourer. The
Defendant was between 70 and t.,'o years of age.
Mr. Justice Geose, in pronouncine the •ertence
of thlsCourt, observed, that the starete in this case
had been too frequently violated by praaices of this
nature—aed the legislature had wisely provided for
a prosecution of persons committing this offence, as
receivers of stolen goods; he therefore trusted, that
the convieron and punishmec't of this Detendaet
would be a warning to all persons residing in the
neighbourhood of Dock-Yards throughout the
kingdom, but more especially to persons near
the Dock-Yard of Chatham, where such offences
were so frequently committed. He concluded by
saying, that the Legislature had provided an ade-
, . c t nnishment for such, which was transports-
.inn for years ; but, taking all the circumstances
into consWeration, particularly the advanced age
of the Defundant, the Court adjudged, that he
.hould lie imprisoned in Maid,tone Gaol for three
months, and to stand once in the pillory, near His
Majesty's Doek•Yard, at Chatham, within that
time.
CII \I.LF.NGE.

Mr. Easkitit moved for leave to file a Criminal
Information against Mr. James Bloxham, of A
bury, Surgeon, fur sending a letter to a Mt. In-
gram, a Volunteer of the same place, with intent to
provoke him to tight a duel.
The leained aad eloquent Counsel prefaced his
statement, by seem!l observations upon the great
evalence of this offence in latter days, which
called f car some power to break down this fatal prac-
tice of duelling, which might, in a great measure,
he avoided, it gentle.nen, who had a nice sense of
honour, would only first make a gentlemanly ap-
plication for explanation or apology, and even
when they should go into the field (though God
forbid,lie should countenance suchTpranices), the
interfelente of reasonable person.: would preserve
the rules of honour, and prevent much mischief.
In this case, the condua of Mr. Bloximni was highly
reprehensible, and the letter was of a most aggra-
vating and provoking nature. Mr. Ingram's father
had an empkyment in the parish et Aylesbury,
and went, accompanied by his sun, who made the
present application, to the vestry room, to settle
some accounts, and pay some claims upon the parish,
when the Defendant, Mr. Bloxham, interfered.
Sonic words arose between the parties ; and Mr.
Ingram observed, that it would be necessary to re-
move Mr. B. if he became.trouhlesome, when his
father interfered, and advised him to take no notice
of it. Soon after, he received a letter from Mr.
Bloxham, nearly as follows
ts Mr. Bloxham is willing to let Mr. Ingram put
his threats into execution, at any hour, time, or
place, he pleases He will find the necessity of doing
so, to retrieve his charaeler from the imputation of
cowardice," &c.

And Et. tztinoTtot on observed, that, considering
all the circtunstances, he thought it would he the
best way to let the matter go before the Grand Jury.
The application therefore was refused.

IN sOLV ENTS
Mr. Ctossshewed cause against a Rule obtained
by Mr. Andrews, for .t manJamus to the keeper of
Nesvgate, direaing him to make a supplemehtary
list of persons in his custody, who were entitled to
the benefit of the late Insolvent Aa, but who had
been removed from one gaol to another, subsequent
to the Ist of January last. The affidavit on which
the motion was grounded, was swot a by one Abra-
ham Ergas, who had been conviaed of a libel.
M . Gram and DANNER. on the part of the
keeper of Nea-gate, although willing to give every

assist..nce to relieve ete persons filaki:ig the applicai
tion, yct felt some appreher,ions for the j.iil. t, i
making the necessary affidavit ;. but submitted the
question entirely to the considerat;on of die Court.
Mr. Aso,t iws supported the Rule, npoo mmy
clauses, in the Ad of Pat liarnent.
MT. Gin fIS afterwards staved, that A further diffi-
culty arose in the present ca e, as Ergs had been
committed in execution for a ltbrl ; and the An pro-
vided, that all p-rsons, convL'l upon :onions for
Crim. Con. Assault, Libel, or any other madcious
prosecution, should not be entitled to benefit.
Lord ELI. E NaOROIJO 3 observed, that this Ad
WAS meant for the benefit of distressed debtors, and
not for malicious offenders The Rule was there-
fore refused.
Mr M., rt tore applied in somethin'► of a similar
case for the like Rule, hut the Defend int had not
been charged in any criminal prosecution. He
stated that the Magistrates of Surrey had adjonrned
their Sessions until the 5:11 of next month, for the
purpose of having the opinion of the Court on this
point.
As some decisions had taken place upon this ques-
tion in the Court of Common Pleas, and as the
Court considered it a very important one, they post-
poned their opinion until they should have a con-
ference with the other Judges.
HOWELL ♦ND ANOTHER S.P. STRATTON AND
ANOr}I Ct.

This was a Rule obtained by Mr. Amnia livs to
spew cause why the Pliintiffs' judgment and exe-
cution should not be stayed.
In this case a Mr. Wigram had purchased an an-
nuity from the Defendants of 2501. per annum, tion
a sum of 20501. and the Plaintiffs had joined them
as guarantees in the annuity bond, to secure the pay-
ment of that sum half yearly. The DA mdants con-
fessed a judgment to the Plaintiffs, which, by the
deed, was conditioned, that in default of the regular
payment of the annuity, the Plaintiffs should be en-
titled to issue execution for the furl sum of 20501
The Defendants afterwards became bankrupts, the
annuity was oot paid, and the Plaintiffs issued their
executions for the whole sum. Messrs. ERIK ISE,
LAY'S, and ANDlliWS.co.itcn.!ed, in support of the
rule, that the Plaintiffs ha'd a right only to a portion
of the 20501. and that the creditors were entitled to
the residue of the Defendants' property.
Messrs. GAILROW, GIH 3S. and MARBIOT, on the
other hand, contended, that in default of the pay-
ment of any part of the annuity, the Plaintiffs had a
right to sue out execution for the whole sum, and to
hold the whole sum to indemnify them.
the Court was of opinion, that the whole sum
should be invested in the funds, for the payment of
either the principal or interest, and should lee held
as a pledge in the hand of the Plaintiffs.—Rule dis-
charged.

COMMON PLLAS.
BARS V. DICEY.
TI .Is was an action on the case tried at Warwick
Assizes. The Plaintiff's horsewas taken in distress fur
the assessed taxes. 'rite l'iain.rff, conceiving he had
no right to pay them, replevied his hone, and pro.
ceeded to trial ; bin it being a case of considerable
impor.ance to the whole constahlewick, it was
agreed that a special case should be sent to the
Court of Exchequer ; but, not being in regular form,
that Court declined to give their opinion upon it,
and it was sent into the Common Pleas. Sixteen
persor., were appointed by the Commissioners under
an A, of Pasallinebt, to collen the assessed taxes
in the constablewick of Bordsley, Witton, and six
°ther hamlets, specified by name. Two persons
were chosen out of each hamlet. and, it had always
been the custom for these two to colle.f the taxes in
the hamlet in which they resided. and never had
ally claim upon the inhabitants of the neighbouring
hamlets, but allowed each of them to be collefted
by the colleitor, chose,: from, and more immediately
belonging to, their respective hamlets. Gibbet, the
colleftor of %% mon, having made default in his last
payment, an order issued from the commissioners
that the constablescick was liable, and that all the
hamlets should contribute to make up the deficiency
ercasioned by the default of the hamlet of Witton.
The Plaintiff Bars,residing iu die hamlet of Bordsley,
was distrained, and by this means the whole ques-
tion came before the Court.

Serjeant VAUGMAN, for the Plaintiff, argued, that
there was no constablewick in England named in
the manner this was named in the apviiitment by
the Commissioners ; t!.at it was called the consta-
blewick of Bordsky alone, and not the constablewit k
of Witton, Bordsley, &c. &c. ; so that it must have
been evidently their intention to subdivide the con-
stablewick into eight parts, or distrisas ; and to ap-
point two persons to coiled in each clistrtil inde-
pendent of each other, and, of course, lint respon-
sible for the taxes due by any other district.
Serjeant BAILEY, on the other side, inaintaiaed
that the ast and appointment by the Commissioners
under it, meant nothing else but the entire constable-
wick of Bordsley, though the different hamlets con-
stituting it were specifically named; and undoubted-
ly every hamlet must he liable, as each person was
appointed to coiled in the constablewick of Botdsley
only; that the Commissioners, in appointing them,
had made use of a more particular name than the
constablewick of Bordsley.
Sir JAMES MASSFIELD said, he did not believe
the aft empowered the Commissioners to appoint
more than two colleelors in each disc ;so if they
meant, as his brother BAILEY said, to appoint th -
sixteen eolleetors of the constablewick of Bordsky, it
was contrary to the At.t of Parliament: he was sorry
it was not brought forward in the Court of Ex-
chequer, which, to him, appeared to be the proper
place for it.
Serjeant VAUGHAN, in support of this argument,
cited a case from first Burrow, where five overseers
of the poor were appointed instead of four, men-
tioned in the :Let. It was decided by Lord MANS.
t n, that the number mentioned in the ad should
be adhered to. From which, he argued, that the
Commissioners had no power to appoint more than
two to ar.y one distriet, and of course could not in-
tend that these sixteen were, in common, eolleeturs
of the constabkwick of Bordsley, but that they
meant to divide it into eight districts, appointing
two to each, totally independent of each other.
Sir JAMES M•NSFIrII) thought sixteei, too many
to coiled in any one place, and it seemed to be the
intent that two should coiled in each hamlet
ordered to stand over.

port. the Eurydice frigate, Captain Host. E, takes
convoy to the Mediterranean and Oporto.
aIIIXIIAM, NOV. 24.
I wrote you on Thursday evening, informing you
of the fleet under the command of Admiral Corn-
wallis being in sight, and yesterday morning they
came into the Bay, consisting of the Ville de Paris,
S4N J let, Prince George, Princess Royal, Windsor
Castle,Temeraire, Britannia, Isapetuesix, Plantagenet,
Iv:arable, Defiance; nun:freer, Goliath, Courageux,
and Veteran. The wind this afternoon tot round
to the Eastward in a shower of rain ; but the wea-
ther is so bad, that I believe they will not sail this
evening.
Half past Five.—Since writing the above, the sig-
nal has been made for the fleet to sad, and one of
.them is just weighed; but I expelt the night will
come on too quick for their railing this evening.
PLVMOVTH, NOV. '23.
This forenoon embarked on board the armed trans-
:poet, in Hamoaze, a detachment of the royal artil-
lery, viz. a Captain, four subalterns, and 100 rank
and file, to reinforce the garrison of Gibraltar.
Letters from Gibraltar, of a late date, inform us,
1, that the fever had in some measure abated, and it
I was hoped its ravages would soon cease.
Went down the harb: ur, the American mast-ship,
- from Halifax, having discharged her cargo into the
dock-yard.
Dear, NOV. t 5.
Sailed through the Downs, a fleet of outward-
bound vessels.
'Arrived the Champion frigate, Dart and Orcrter
sloops of war, from a cruise, and remain in the
Downs, with the rest of the ship as per last.—
Rind Easterly, blows hard.
Last night, in a hard gale from N.E. to E. the
Hannibal armed ship, Capt. O'Connor, drifted from
her anchors and cables, and drove on shore near
Sandown Castle, and, it is feared, will be lost ; a
Ibrig, with timber from Norway, drove on shore near
Deal Castle ; also a collier belonging to Ramsgate
drove on shore on Sandwich Flats.

• ANiCDOTZ or Dr. JOHNSTOSt —The converse- i

bad dreamed, the preceding night, that she had met
Fortune in her way, whirling rapidly on her Wheel;
land who presented her with a purse. " Upon my
word, Madam," cried the doftor, " you were very
fortunate that the wheel of the blind dame did not
Aron over you ; but are you sure that she gave von a

luck in the next Lottery."—Whether the lady pur-
aped the advice is not known ; but there is strong
t,und for belief, from the circumstances above
Mated, that had the Donor himself dreamed of
inch a Lottery, as is at present the theme of gencral
admiration, he would have purchased a Ticket or
