sending nut coals without bating a legal bushel

it was proved by a Lady at whose house the coals

unfortunate young woman of the town, called

nothing from one who had no friend to ;erotica her,
they took advantage of her forlorn con ,tion, and in

are by no means culpable ; bitt„ if the latter part
should be eventually demonstrated by circumstances,
it is a question partly of an ahstraa kind, and partly

authorised, upon his own conceptions of the publk

the late Ministry gave orders for the expedition to

blame for sending one of the feeblest atenaments
that ever was embarked, considering die import-
ance and magnitude of the objr;ft. If the Spanish
settlements were wrath conquriing, such a force
should have beet. sent as might reasonably pretend
to the undertaking; such as might, discourage re-
sistance, and spare the effusion of blood ; and, at the
same time, the expedition should not only have been
effeetive in itself, but the Cape should have bsen
competently garrisoned, for every purpose of interior
security, as well as of defence; and' it should have
been first ascertained, that no reinforcement% should

• LEWES FAIR.
, At the anuual fair for beeth Down sheep and
Ilamss, held at Lewes, on Thursday last, the ahem
and(
lambs,
not se great by r.early 10,000, as usual, eveiog
principally to the many purchases which had been
Asada prior to the fairdey. The number penned
for sale did not greatly exceed got,Ouo. The fair
'opened with unusual briskness, and the following
prices were obtained, viz. -(or wethers, from 345. to
435.; ewe., from 365. to 435, 6d. ; wether lambs,
from 2-11. to des.; ewe lamb,' (in no great demand)
from Inc toCtts. ; a few inferior lamb* amid cull.
were sold at prices somewhat lower r but their num-
het was inconsiderable. The sale rather slackened
at tile fetus partof the slay, and a few were driven
away unsnld.
A capital pea of wether lambs, belonging to Mr.
Ellmert, of Glynde, fetched 30s. per head. Mrs.
Peoluld, of Annington, near gteyning, had also a
pen of wether lambs, which were greatly admired.
and ohtailieJ a high price.
The best pen of ewes, (170.) was from the flock
of C. Gilbet, Bee of last-Bourne. Their supe-
riority consisted ebiedy in their fullness of carcase,
and tacitness of avec. They were seou bought up,
by some Suffolk gentlemen, to breed from, at 433.
