A serious accident occurred to a shepherd of Mr. Kemp, at
the farm, about a quarter of a mile north of the town. called
New England, on Thursday. A carter at the above farm, pro.
coked at "betvoldilig poor puss, who had made free with some
fresh herrings, and who was stealing from the house with one of
the savoury delicacies of the deep in her mouth, hurled a Stolle
for the purpose of compelling her to drop it. The stone missed
the cat, who escaped with her booty ; but which unfortunately
glancing from some wood-work, struck the shepherd above to_
bided to, who was feeding his dug .to the cart-house, and coin.
pletely cut out his eye.
On fiatuiday slight, whilst a boy was ramming clown a blun-
derbuss, a hich he had in the evening been discharging in the
streets of Birmingham, to the great annoyance of passenger,
the piece accidentally went off, when the iron ramrod pierced
the corner of bis eye, and lodged in his scull. lie was taken to
the hospital, with very little hopes of recovery.
A very unfortunate accident betel a family at Fairlie„ near
Greenock, one day last week. A boy of front five to six 'ears
of age, was amusing himself, hacking away with some kind of
chopping knife upon a block of wood at the door of his father',
house, when his little sister, about two years old, corning but,
and chanciag to put her hand upon the block, the upraised knife
fell upon it and cnt °lithe whole fingers by the knuckles or up.

bitter] y,bron: ht the father to the door, who had the melancholy
task to perform of picking up the discovered fingers of his bleed-
ing iufnut ; but to rejoin them was beyond his power,

Friday a Meeting of the Freeholders of. Middlesex was
held at the Merino; ' Hackney, to address his Majesty on the
late Treaty conci.....:ed by the Ilritish Officers in Portugal.
The Sheritl% stated the purport of the Meeting, nod the
hy several respectable Freeholders.
Mr. Clifford, the Barrister, then made an Address to the
Freeholders on the disgrace attached tn. the Convention, and
haying dilated °tithe right which the silbjects 'of this realm had
;.tt) petition the King, concluded by movintaif address to his Ma.,
jesty, praying that he would be plt•ased tri'dlrect a minute en-
quiry into,the circumstances which led tiiihelate-Treaty, in
order that those who had been instrumental the disgrace of
their,cosintry might be brought to punishnietitit alsii to express
ther sense of the Meeting, that those who advised his Majesty to
refurn the late answer to the Address presented by the Citizens
ut London, had anted in violation of the principles of the Con-
stitution.
The motion was W4Fllll}' supported by Mr,_ Waithman and
Nlajor Cartwright.
Mr. York then moved, as an amendmeot, That the County
was sensible of the indulgence it had received on all occa,,ions
from the Throne, and the Freeholders respectfully petitioned
his Majesty to give instructions, that such inquiry should be
made Mtn the late Treaty as might he necessary, at the same
time thanking hint fur the Answer he had given to the City
Address ealliog upon him to do an act which he had already
determined to perform,
Vesls seconded the motion.
Mr. hleilisk said, it tt as indecent str this time to address the
Sovetrign on the subject of the Treaty; his :Majesty had given
ItiS gracious word to promote proper inquiry, and the Freehold-
ers ought to • wait until the Court of Inquiry, which would
o.torily he held,. had decided. If
,justice should not be done hy
their decision, then the Freeholders might come fhrward, and
he would willingly join with them in an Address to obtain the
deitired ol6ect,
;Mr. Waithman next observed, that he was conscious the M-
.4alry would not he made, unless Ministers were spurred onto it.
Mr. Dyng rose and said, he had'etpressed his disapprobatioa
rival the first moment he beard of the Treaty 10 Portugal, be-
cause it had injured the hononi: Of Nis country, and the cause
which •it wtv the gitiry'af every Briton tq Espouse, He ap.
Proved of the present Addrets;- and. he Was anxious to expres;
his sentimesitti on the late reproof to the Citiaens of London.--.
Odious as the Treaty of Ciptva was, it would be still more

of subjects to petition the awl said, if they did not join
