young, Lady; Mary Godsail, her servant, and a
young man, named joiesh Cassia, were brught
before the Sitting Alderman at Guildhall, under the
following circumstances Police Officers hay,
ing suspicion that nefarious practices were carrying
on at a house in Cow-lane, West Smithfield, went
there on Sunday night, and demanded admittance to.
search the house ; but were refused by Mrs. Vagg;
who answered theM from the window, and desired
they •would call the next Morning. The Officers
immediately forced their way in, and, 'searching the
house, found nothing that could warrant their sus,
picions ; they, however, took these three persons
into custody, and lodged them in the Poultry
Compter. Some plate, and a pocketbook, contain:.
ing three .11. notes, were produced; taken frora
Mrs. Vagg. Mr. Ashmore, Churchwarden of the:
Parish stated, that persons had resided in this house
at different times, which is in a most ruinous state,
but that the Parish had not been able to get any
taxes for near four years:. The Magistrate desired
Mrs: Vagg to account for being found in the house:
She said, that she was lately married, without •the
knowledge of her friends, to an Officer in the, Navy,
who is at present absent on his country's service,
and that the house belonged to Francis Carey, Esq.:
of Dorking, in Surrey, who had giver-. her permis-
sion to reside in it until her husband came home.--,
She said the Officers had used her very ill, and
threatened to 'cut her to pieces if she did not open
:the door, and that being intimidated, she sent for
the young man, Joseph Cassia; who lived opposite,
and, was an acquaintance of her servant, Mary
Godsall, to protea her: The Magistrate observ,
cd to her, that he should not do his duty; nor jus-
tice to her, without remanding them for a day or two,
until he could hear from Mr. Carey respeCting the
truth of her assertions. A Mrs. Match, of Johnson's,
court, Fleet,.street, stepped forward and confirmed
the-statement made by Mrs. Vagg : she being a
house-keeper, and known to some of the City Officers,
the Magistrate said he would take her word for the
appearance of the parties to clear up this business on
a future day; and in the mean time desired that
Mrs. Match would write to Mr. Carey, and pro
duce something confirmatory of what had been as.
serted respeeting him. The parties were then dis.
charged for the presento

On the - rph instant an Inquisition Was taken at
the George Inn, at Buckden, in the county of
Huntingdon, on view of the body of Robert Fields,
a servant belonging to Lord Carberry, who was
going to Buckden on the preceding evening, about
eight o'clock, and happening to meet the Glasgow
Mail coming down a hill between Buckden and
Diddington, near Diddington, by some means of
other he got entangled with the horses belonging
to the said Mail coach, and was run over by the
said coach, and so much hurt thathe expired about
three hours after the accident happened. The lamps
belonging to the said coach were lighted up, and
therefore it is supposed that the said deceased must
have been asleep upon his horse at the time the acci-
dent -happened.—Verdid Accidental Death.

A letter from Savannah, in Georgia, of July 301
relates the following adventure :—" On the 21st
instant a Negro man, on his way to Ogechee; ob 4.
served a large buck some distance a-head, running
towards him. The Negro stepped into the bushes,
,and picking up a lightwood knot, threw it at him
as he passed. The deer jumped into the ditch on
the opposite side, and coursing along it the Negro
pursued him, when the deer springing out,. made
signal of battle. The Negro, a second Sampson,
was not disposed to fly, whereupon a most terrible
conflia ensued. The negro, almost exhausted, called
aloud for assistance; but none coming to his aid,
he, like the Jewish hero before-mentioned, summed
up his remaining strength, and seizing the buck by
the lower jaw and one horn; with an Herculean jerk,.
he snapped his neck in twain; The negro is much
injured, and has been confined ever since. His name
is Adam, arid he belongs to Messrs. Denis and
Williams."
