The particulars of the gallant Adion fought off
Rochefort by the A,tzelia Frigate, `Captain-HE-
BF.RT, mentioned in Or Paper of yesterday, are as
follows :—On the zzd of August, she was order-,
ed in by signal from the imp'etrieux, of 'B4 guns,
Commodore Sir' E. PE LLEi+v, Bart. to reconnoitre
the Eneniy,s Force in Rochefort. On her .nearing
the Port, she observed two Frigates and a Schooner
standing out towards her; one La Mediae, of 5.9
guns, and the Other a 44. gun Frigate. Capt. HER-
B ERT immediately bore down, arid brought them to
adion 'in the most gallant stile. In a short time
the ci-devant Ainbuscade, of 32 guns, came out. to
join her consorts, but the fire from, the Amelia was
so well kept up, that the Freneh Squadron bore
away for Port. The Amclia stood after them, ahci

aeknallY lay to for them off the Harbour. The
shore was lined with thousands of spedators, who
witnessed the retreat of their Frigates covered with
glory. The Amelia sustained butlittle
and, having made her observations, returned to the
British Squadron.

The Borough is crowded with hop• waggons
throughout the day, with the abundant crops of
the present season. Hops have .fallen to 31. abs.
per bag, and they are as:fine as they are cheap.
There wa,s, the largest show of cattle at Malden
Fair, on Monday and Tuesday last, that has been
known for many years past ; 'but the prices of beasts
were held up so high, that none of the principal
graziers would buy, expeting that the continuing
dry weather must bring them down. Sheep and
lambs sold freely and well. Some South Down
shearling wethers fetched as high as 4.05. a head;
wether lambs -z6s. and ewe ditto zis.

The general meeting of the Western Agricultural
Society for the show of prize cattle and sheep, held
at Petworth on Thur;day last, was numerously and
respeaably attended. The cattle exhibitEd- for
prizes were of a superior cast, and commanded the
admiration of all the best informed amateurs He-
sent. The sheep did not rank,so high in estima-
tion.

Turnips, which so very lately were sold for six-
teen shillings, were, on -rilut.a..y inw as
two shillings the sack, at Manchester : an extra-
ordinary difference in this useful article.—Butter
has been much reduced in price in several markets,
by a refusal to purchase at the high rate which
is now asked for it.

The Duke of PORTLAND, on his late visit to Mr.
STURT, at Brownsea Castle, met with an unplea-
sant accident. As His Grace was looking up at the
building, he suddenly tripped, and fell fiat on, his
face. His hands' being in his breeches pockets, he
made no effort to save himself, and consequently
his whole length came in close contaa with the
ground. His speaacles
.were broken to.piecei on
his nose : and yet, notwithstanding the severity of
the fall, he did not receive the slightest apparent
hurt, or even scratch. His Grace walked four or
five miles afterwards without complaining ; but we
are sorry to state, that on his arrival at Poole, he
felt himself so much indisposed, that he sent for' a
Surgeon.

We begleave to caution the Public to secure the
tops of their houses, as several attempts have been
made of late to force a way in, by passing over the
roofs of other houses. On Thursday night the,
house of Mr. CHAmmv, in Cheapside, • Was at- -
tempted to be broke open by some villains, who
succeeded with an iron crow in forcing open a strong
door at the top of his honse. Fortunately there
was an inner-door still stronger, which they were
attempting to force and cut, hut were heard by two
Ladies who slept immediately under. On examin-
ing the tops of the houses near, it seems they had
come over at least twenty houses, and had got out at
the top of'an uninhabited house in a court in Fos.

In the evening of Sunday sennight an alarming
fire broke • out in the Blue Bell Public house 'at•
Clinton,. near Peterborough, which raged with such
fury, owing to the then dry state of the thatch and
.timber, that in less than half an hour the house was
burnt to the ground, and part of' two adjoining
tenements were consumed. The fire was occasion-
ed by a young woman dropping a candle in a bed-
room, where a quantity of gleanings.were deposited,
which instantly taking fire, communicated to the
roof; not an article of furniture could be saved,
and with difficulty the children in bed were rescued
from the flames.
Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, a hare was
discovered in the fields near Kentish Town, and. Was
immediately pursued. At Pancras it swam across a
'pond, and was alrbost .surrounded by its followers.
It thus continued its route 'to the turnpike by the
New koad4AarTattle.bridge, when a man was very
near. knocking it down with his hat; and a gtey-
hound, who 'happened to be there, with too much
eagerness to catch it, leaped over 'its back and missed
it. It then crept between the 'narrow raids, and ran
across the lawn before the Inoculating Hospital.
This inclOsure for some time obstru4ed the pursuit.
It afterwards fled across the fields to Maidcn.lane,
and up towards Copenhagen:house. 'Here pool' puss
had the good fortune 'to hide itself, and to remain
concealed' somewhere about the brick-fields, though
it was followed by a great number people with
buil-dogs, fox.dogs, -119iers, pugs, and
