EILTER, Ocr 17.

The Right Hon. Lord Rolle (as settee for t!•s!
patron, Wrey l'Ans, 1...5q.) has beet,ply
minate and appoint the Rev. John R. I
of Biaon, to the perpetual curacy Gr . 7
North Tamerton, in Cornwall.

Sir George Baker has been plen,^J to appo. .r.
Walter Prideaux, deputy tegistrr aa the Arch ..e--
con's Court of rotates, in this county, in the ruin of
Mr. Richard Hernaman, decta%ed.
Yesterday, a man named E:a.ts, a private in the
Montgomery Militia, was fully committed to South-
gate
prison, for burglariou'ly et.terin the cedar off
Mr. r. Wm. Brown, of the Black Harty! Inn, in this
city, with intent to steal a quantity of beer there.

tacks in company with him ; but, beind surprised
rather too soon, by persons set to watch #d &n o& I,
them, they effeaed their escape. Several hogsheads ;
of beer are found to be missing from the dii
casks in the cellar; and it appears that the •
have continued their depredations nightly. for
rid months past. Their pl.n, to gain entrance, •
by lifting from off the hinges a large do..r, that le

to the courtlare, and which, on their return, th
regnlarly replaced ; they carried the beer off in
buckets, two of which were found under the cellar
window, on the night of the above appleheasioss.
The man in custody, having made resistance. was '
severely wounded in several places; he has disco, .
vered the whole of his accomplices ; but. as no
proof can be obtained against them, except on his
evidence, they are given over to military punishment. q

In addition to the wonderful occurrences at a
house at Sawston, in Cambridgeshire. which have
already been noticed in the public papers, we are r
favoured with the following, the truth of which is
beyond every doubt :—A gentleasan, his aunt, and a
young lady, called on Friday evening last to see the
enchanted huuse, and before they had been in it
a quarter of an hour, the young lady's gown had i;
received three great rents, while sitting is a chair
detached from any one, though the precaution was it
taken to see that the gown was perfelt upon entering
the house. Most of the University have waited the
house in order to ascertain the source of these mys-
terious circumstances ; and Mr. A Dans, the master,
applied to the most experienced collegian to know
his sentiments upon them, who very readily went ,
and examined the whole premises ; but no person sal
yet has been able to ascertain the cause.
The slaughtering of oxen and hogs will cow!
menet at the ViEtualing Deptford, on Mon-
day next; the former by Mr. Nles.L.sa, and the
latter by COTXXIIILL and SOU.
We cannot but consider it as a fortunate '
stance for the interests of humanity, that M. OT
did neglect to avail himself of the offer which
made him, when he was in London, to supply
French troops with the Yellow user Remedy,
from his acceptance thereof, La Lac, ROCHA W.
seat-, and Botta, and tV:eir bipedal bloodhounds;
would have been so much be tetitted by this happy'
discovery, that they might still have been commit-i"
Ling their horrible scenes of devastation over chalk
fertile plantations of St. Domir:".
