from the folloing wOrds':
•
I exhort therefore that first of all, supplications,

" For Kings, and for all that are in authority,
that we May' lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty."

Tilts niorhing‘arrived from Liverpool, in 4.2 days,
the Ships Intrepid, bound to Jamaica ; Alfred, to
Martinico ; and Dominica Packet, to Messrs'. Fo-,
DERINGHAMS, of this TOwn: On the 24th
they fell in with a Spanish Ship 9124 Gunk aild 78
Men, which, after engaging them for upwards- of
an, hour, seruck„ and arrived here with them. this
morning. She is called La Galga, and' was from
Rio de la Plata, bound to. Cadiz, and supposed to'
be.worth about 60,6001.

In the beginning of last month the -Janissaries
at Belgrade mutinied,
.and compelled the Pacha of
that place to • throw himself into • the Citadel, -With.
a small number of Officers and men who remained
faithful to hint. The Rebels, on this occasion,.
declared themselves in favour of PAS WAN. OGLOU..
Soon after, however, some of the. oldest of
the Janissaries, apparently full of contrition at .
this shameful dereliClion .of their honour, dutyi,
and allegiance, sent an aCi of submission to the
threatened Pacha, who received it joyfully, -left the
Citadel, and returned to his former residence in the
City. But in the night of the rg.th ON many of
the malcontents found means -to get into Belgrade,
in troops of from ten to twenty, and a new
re6tion broke out, which forced the harassed Pacha
to seek again refuge in the' Citadel, where he ex_
pelted to be attacked; the number of his followers
had also greatly diminished. The whole City of
Belgrade was in terror and consternation, and many
Merchants and tich-Turks fled with their goods and
valuable efrefts tei Semline

On Sunday evening last; the Inhabitants of Har-
wich were thrown into alarm by a curious circum.
stance. About 'five o'clock in the afternoon a brisk
fire; was heard from Landguard Fort, apparently
against some vessels laying in the road of the 'Han_
bour, and continued so for near an hour. The In_.
habitants, together with the many people at Har_
wich for the benefit of sea-bathing; left their houses,
and assembled upon the lawn. The Detachment of
the East Middlesex Militia, commanded by Lieut.
FRANCO, and the Town Volunteers, were tinder
arms. ' At length a Messenger arrived soon 'Ater
the engagement was over, from the Lieutenant-
Governor of the Fort to the .Mayor of the town,
informing him, that he had thought prper to exer-
cise the Sca Fcncibles stationed on the Essex coast,
on that evening. No accident happened whatever,
except, that one man in a boat, be'onging to 'a,Bris,
was slightly wounded. •

Yesterday at the Public Office, Hatton_garden,
a woman of very decent appeirance_ claiMed• the.
attention. of the Magistrates, to a recital bf the.
barbarous condua of her hasband, whose name is
Goddard; a brass-founder, and the undutiful beha-'
viour of a. son, about fifteen 'years of age. After'
the Magistrates had heard the case, the youth was
discharged, and the husband adinitted to bail : it
Was recommended, to the. complainant to apply to
the parish for support, and a warrant would be
granted to allow her a reasonable competence out
of her husband's earnings. The poor' woman stated
that she frequently wandered_ in the fields all night,
not knowing„ where to lapher head; ••
• At a late hour on Tuesday night, a person of
very genteel appearance was enticed by an unfor-
tunate female in Shoe-lane td retire with her. After
they had been been some time in the house, she
alarmed the people, by calling out that the man
was dead. Immediate assistance was procured, and
two Surgeons were sent for, but soon after they
arrived the man expired, as is supposed in a fit of
apoplexy. His watch and money were found safe
in his pockets. The body was conveyed to St.
Andrew's work-house, where it was owned yes-
terday. It appears that he was married, had a
family, and lived in the neighbourhood..
One day last week, as an elderly man of Lewes,
named -Roper, was gathering nuts from a tree
that over-hung a, ditch, the bough on which he
was standing- gave way, and let him into the wa-
ter, where, being too feeble to get out, though it
was, not,,,deep, he remained till five o'clock next
morning when he was fortunately discovered by a
labourer:going to his work, almost perished, but
just in time to save his life, as, on being. taken
proper care of, he recovered.
A man was on Saturday at Guildhall fined foss
for having in his possession a quantity of Coals,
Which had been stolen from on board the lighters.
It appeared that the praaice of robbing the lighters
is become very common. It was sworn that this
man has been seen to carry away between 17 and
18 bushels a day.—ln order to evade deteaion, the
pilferers who steal coals stow them in' sand: barges
lying 'ay the water-side during the night, and in
open day carry them away in defiance of the Coal_
dealers,

On 'Tuesday last, a boy having inadvertently made
a fire t) roast potatoes in a field near Lowestoft
Church, the grass, from the long drought, imme-
diately taught the flame, and communicated to a hay.
stack inn distant part Of the field;' which was en-
tirely catsumed ; from its blowing very, hard at
N. W. treat fears were entertained for the safety of
the To,er, as the fire ran furiously along the hedges
and groind, and nothing but the greatest exertions
of the ilhahi.tants prevented its spreading, as the
water wis very distant and difficult to be got at.

young womat3:of the-age.oftwity:kne, had,
in a fit of Aistraetippi. poisoned herself, ,by taking.
upwards of an ounce of white arsenic.. Vpon a
Surgeon being sent for, she confessed to him what
she bad taken, and in the greatest agOLoy declared, •
she had also poisoned her female bastard child, when
it was only five days old. On opening the body of
the child, her account appeared too true, and that
ghe had taken the arsenic out of an open dell: be..

thotoyd, near South Hiendley, with whom she ,had

the fatal accident.

To the many fatal accidents that have happened
from an improper use of fire-arms, we are concerned
to add that of a young woman being shot through
the head one day last week, near Manchester, by a
young man who nre'sented a pistol to her in jest.—
The weapon had been loaded with ball sortie time,
and the priming was taken away, but it is supposed
a few grains of powder had fallen into the pan
through the touch-hole, and on the trigger being
pulled, the ball was discharged. The unfortunate
victim died, after lingering four days.

Last Friday; as. Mr. But.t., of. Lewes, was'
partridge_ shOotink near Ringmeil his attention
was suddenly attracted by a large flock of birds,
consisting of four •oi- five hundred, on thc.-.• wing
high in the- air, at Which he shot, and brought
;one to the ground. It proved to be a beautiful

parts.—Mr. BuLL's bird weighed in the feathers,
upwards of eight Ounces, and, comparatively speak-
ing, 'was as fat as the finest'goose which our mar-
kets exhibit at the season of Michaelnias.
A Gentleman in Invetness-shire lately shot fifty..
two brace of moor-fowl in a day. He did not fire
at a bird while sitting,. nor .did he shoot more than
one bird at a time.—Considerable bets were de-
pending.
The following account of the Clove. Tree has
been received from Ceylon. The Clove 'free
grows to the height of about forty or fifty feet.; its
branches spread, and its leaves are long and pointed.
in a favourable soil, it begins to bear at fifteen
years growth, is in perfection at twenty, and con-
tinucs to bear, without any apparent decay, till the
age of forty or fifty. Some trees yield thirty
pounds of cloves, but the average quantity pro-
duced does not amount to more than six pounds a
tree; they grow -to the-greatest perfeEion in deep
Valleys, well sheltered by hills, and woods, and in a
soil of a rich black mould, quite dry ; though they
require frequent rains for the greatest part of the
year, and very hot weather at the gathering sea..
son. A clove-tree growing at Amboyna, is ascer.
rained to have been planted 730 years, and in one
season produced 7 100 pounds weight. .

On Monday last, a servant girl, at Shrewsbury,
having some difficulty to strike a light, poured some
gunpowder from a bottle into the tinderbox, and
the spark instantly communicating to the powder in
the bottle, exploded with great violence. Several
pieces of the glass were driven into the poor girl's
arms and body, and her clothes at the instant taking
fire, she was burnt to such excess, that one of her
ears, and great part of her flesh, dropped old'; but
in this horrid condition she continued to live on
Thursday evening.

As a Gentleman and Lady were travelling on the
road adjoining the river Mersey, between Didsbury
and the Northern Ford, some boys disturbed a
wasp's nest, and the horse was so severely stung,
that he instantly ran back into the river, which is
f.ve or six yards deep. The Lady and Gentleman
fortunately leaped out as the chaise was falling over
the bank, and escaped being hurt. The horse was
drowned, and when taken out of the river many
wasps were found sticking on his head.' It is sup.
posed that; from the dreadful manner the animal ivas
stung, he 'must have died had he not been drowned.

was opened ;
,but in. thh result of the Evidence, the
Cause: has fallen infinitely shore of the opening,—
However, the Cause is still abiindantly.important to
the parties, especially to the Defendart, Who- is in
a walk of line which requires a great -deal of public
confident:'; that point he now submits- to you, and,
on it, you will exercise a fair and candid judgment,
and draw a just conclusion out of the-whole. of the
Evidence, which has been laid before you.. Several
objections have been made to -the conduct of the
Defendant's SchOol--Some of them Very minute in-
deed. One that the meat with 'which the
children were fed was improper meat.' A number
Of Witnesses have stated to you, that the butcher's
meat was bad---One. of
.the butchers says, he
served-the house by contra& at a stipulated price,
and that he lost money by it.' Now it
occurs here to ask, What interest/ had the De-
fendant in having had 'near, since he paid the same
for it as if it was good ?' For he contracted for it -
before-hand, and he had it in his power to have- it. •
good without any additional expence', for Whatever
the price was, which. the butcher agreed. to take
for.his meat, .he was bounds T
by law, to roy ids
that which, was merehantable, therefore, -the De-.
fenciant,had no interest in haVing bad meat served:
for his School. It is said, that sthe meat was
tainted ;' if that be a ground of A6iort, it is 'pos.:
sible that every one of you, aid probably every oat:,
of us,. might have an Anion tfroLight ss;si
for improperly feediq his Servant, for a Avl.ister
bound to provide his Servant with ~uch food as
•wholesome, and in 36.5 days sther'e aresoul;:, in
Which the probability is, that msst nay. be ;aimed.
So, there is an Action for every one of you,upon a,
Contraa with every one of yons Servants, for ims
properly feeding him or her ; for your , Contract
with every Servant 'ydu .have . boarding in your
house, implies, that, such Servant shale be properly
provided with food, so, that you may have as many
Anions as you have,Servaists, if, at any tine, ths
meat upon your table happens to be tainted., and air
she Servants in your household may become Wit-
nesses for one.another upon such -Actions ; but cer-
tainly the 'Law is not so. , Here are different per_
sons who'differ as to the quality of the meat ;
,some
persons whose Children were kept at this School,
who say, they thought the meat was good-s--That
the Children did not complain, and, that they had
no reason to cOmplain,theyhad four meals a_day

perhaps, it she .has lived. in the Country, has met
with superior bread and, hurter to .that which 'was
furnished at ;his School—She may have had. better
milk,' and water too ; for, if in London shbdrinks'
milk, she drinks water-also, I believe—But what's
then ?The D .fendant ‘.vhe
as not to,blame, if caused
the School to be served' in the ordinary way' of
serving them in London. A to the other ground
of complaint, 4- That Miss Wood was Put to look

That Children at a certain age, take some care of
those who are much younger than themselves ; be-
sides, am mistaken, if there he not a good deal
'of distinEtion between Children of d;fFerent ages at

for the others ; and at: Westminster School,' it used
Win a pratliee to send a boy under a giveis age,
to Westminster Bridge 'to 'see how the wind goes,
by way of ridicule against him ;Vlsen he returns. I
do ' not know that much hurt isitione by this ; it
bends the proud temper of youths, enures them to
'disappointment, and makes them tratiatsle, and bet-
ter adapted" for the crosses which they must ineet
with in their if,urney through life. However, that
may be, it certainly is a prattice in some of the
best Schools- in the Country, to put some of the
youth to offices that are distina from what are com-
monly called Lessons. This /young woman carpe
to this School on terms different from those of an
Ordinary scholar. She was to learn what would qea-
!icy her for a certain- degree in life, she was there-
fore, perhaps, to go through the lower offices first,
and gradually ascend. I am not'Sure that this would
be improper in some other cases, as Welt as those
of qualifying a' young woman to keep a Boarding
School.,These are things which I am not very
well qualified to judge of, but I think I can say,
that this Plaintiff, after having aCquiesced in what
took plate for so. many months, ought . not to be
permitted to 'complain of it in a, Court of Justice.
The girl
,herself has stated to us over and over
again, that her father and - mother knew of the
treatment she received as early as the month of
Februs -y, and they suffer her to continue there
down the following Christmas. If this be so, I
would ask if this was fair play to Mr. Giroux ?
Is the Plaintiff to 'he nursing up an action all,this
-while, and ask for: damages, when it was in his
power to prevent them himself .by mere ordinary
prudence Is a man: to be allowed to say to himself,
I do not like the conduit of my neighbour, I
think I have an aftioresisgainst hint, ,but will not
stop it, although that is completely in my power,
but I Will wait awhile until enough is done.to give
me damages ?' I think this is not fair, I think he
ought not to be allowed thus to bring his aetiots
-I am, as desirous as others .profess to be, td see chil-
dren tenderly treated—l hope I can make allows
ances 'for the anxiety of Parents when they think
the interest of their, children is negleEted ; but I
will not tell a man that he has an action while his
conduit tells me he :has no" cause of complaint,' at
least none, that he bad no 'power of avoiding—l
mainly rely upon that. The girl says her father
and mother knew of it
,for many months; they
never made any remonstrance, nor asked to.haVe
the cOntraa rescinded. Upon the whole, however,
if you think -the cause is weighed down bs evi-
dence on either,side, you will., say so by your ver-
dia;—buh.upon my word, it does appear tc me to
be one of the most: groundless charges tint ever
was brought before a Court of Justice. Af to the
food, you have rise. evidence of the butcher and
the baker—they tell you 'every thing was fir, and:
I do not see any thing that is to operate cn their
minds to make them give false dvidence. •Hrwever,
the
,case is with you—look at it with cancout ; if

• •
you think that wrong has been done to ,thm girl,.
:Incl.that her interest has been nep,lee.ed, and that
the parents could not help it, you will give damages
in proportion to the measure of that neglea; but if
you think there has been no neglea which the pa-
rents could not have prevented,- you will give a
verdia in favour of a Party against whom certainly
much more has been urged, than proved."
The Jury found a verdift for the Plaintiff--

said she could paintain herself. Two persons
stepped for Ward in her behalf, one of whom said,
he employed her in a Chapel, and if she 'did not
separate from her husband, .she would ldse tha't em-
phiy. The husband said he had it in his power to
provide for her, and -,could not think of parting
with 'her; he would sooner go to' -gaol, or be
hanged; he said -he would
,go down on his knees to
her, if she would forgive him, and never behave
ili again. The Loam MAYOR said, that having
been ten years married, he thought they had much
better make-it up ; and especially as 'the inan:,had
made such concessions, he thought she must be-an
unfeeling woman if she . did not forgive him, and
hoped they would go home and live happy for the
future. The parties
.at length consented mutually
to forgive each other, to the satisfadion of all pre,
sent, as they wept abundantly during the examina-
