MANDAMUS.

Sir V. Gots applied to their LordshipS for 'a
Mandamus under the Statute of the 1 i Geo.-I. c. 4,
to be dire&ed to the capital :Burgesses of the town of
Tregony, in. Cornwall, commanding them to eleel. a
Mayor. The day appointed by charter for the choice
of that Officer, Was the Tuesday subsequent to the
feast of St. Michael, whereas that day ,had passed,
and no ele4tion' had taken place, so that the Borough
was at present destitute of any superior Magistrate.---
Writ granted.

Oa Saturday hight last an attempt was made to
destroy by, fire the. premises of Mr. MASTERMAN,
Banker, in White Hart-court, Lombard-street.
About midnight, the family having all retired to
bed, a young Lady, about sixteen years of age, was
so much affected by a quantity of smoke which had
entered her room, , that she could not refrain from
coughing ; and being at a- loss to account for the
cause, she awoke some of the domestics, who en-
deavoured to discover from whence the smoke pro-
ceeded. They had not searched long before they
found, in a private place, some combustibles, which .
bad been placed there and set on fire. As the
flames had not burst forth _to any considerable
height, they were extinguished without much aif-
ficuity.
_On 'searching farther, more combustibles
were found, in tWo different parts of the house ; ,
but the.incendiary\had been frightened from com-
pleting the purpose. As there was reason fo be-
• lieve that the incendiary still remained under the
roof, suspicion fell upon a female servant; who, was
taken into custody as soon an Officer could be
procured. Yesterday. she underwent a private exa-
mination before the LORD MAYOR. We forbear
mentioning the particulars that transpired, and also
the motives assigned for the iniquitous attempt to set
the house on fire, because we are unwilling to pre-
judice the public mind against the person who has
incurred, suspicioh. She was remanded,to the Pout,
try Compter until Thursday next, when she will
have a second -hearing. .
Sophia George, a servant to Mrs. Nichols, in So-
qierset-street, being charged on suspicion of stealing
tome stockings, was taken to Hatton Garden Office;
on being put into the confining room, she hung her-
self with her handkerchief; one of the Officers pro-,
videntially came to. the place and cut her down as.

she was nearly expiring. ,
GUILDHALL.—A man of the name of Sheelds was
charged by Mr. Harrison, watch-maker, Fetter-lane,
with having unlawfully, pawned two watches en-
trusted to him to repatr, which were produced by.
tlre.pawnbroker, and which he was obliged to give
up. The prisoner was convkted in the penalty of
2014 in default of payment of which lie was com-
mitted to Bridewell.

BULL BAITING.—The Bachelors of Windsor hay.- 1
ing claimed their chartered right of the piece of
ground called Bachelor's Acre, Windsor, will bait
their game bull again on Monday next, in Bachelor's
Acre. They will give the following prizes to the
owner of. the dogs which bait. For the best 'dog,

On Saturday se'nnight, dollars 16 the amount of
80001. were sent off by the Falmouth coach, from
the Swan-with-two-necks, Lad-lane, Cheapside; for
the purpose of paying the Army there, intended for
the Expedition. They were paCked in six casks ;
three were put into the boot, and three into the
dickey of the coach. One of the Clerks belonging
to the Army Pay Office, and Rivett, the Bow-street
.Officer, went in the coach, in care of them ; they
weighed about a ton. In consequence of- this, the
proprietors of the coach very properly guarded
against any accident, by titstening two strong planks
Under the body of the coach, upon the springs:—.
When they got to Salisbury they should have
changed' coaches, but the other coach was not
deemed sufficiently strong to carry the weight.—
The coach from. London, therefore, went all the
way to Exeter ;. where the only conveyance that
could be procured, to pursile the journey to Fal-
mouth, was the Mail, %which happened not to have
. any passengers. The Clerk' belonging to the Pay-
Office, therefore, took three places, and proceeded
With three of the casks. The following day Rivett
went by the Mail, with the other three c,isks, to
Fahnouth, ,
