Paddington Wharf,- which has been fitted up in
Northamptonshire, for the purpose of bringing, at
once, near one hundred live fat sheep to the London
market ; this being the first attempt of the kind,
since the opening of this Canal, it excited consider--
able curiosity, and many spe&ators were assembled
to sec this novel' sight ;
.which consisted a com-
mon Canal-boat, which had in its bottom, by way
of ballast, a lading of ten tons of a sort of lime-stone,
from Southam, which is in great repute for water-
works on this there were tsvo slight decks, 'at a
proper distance aboVe, each other, -and -a roal of
-thin boards above, to shoot off the rain ; the
space beteen each 4 the decks was divided
by sliding boards into - near' fifty separate
SO that each sheep had a distin& one to itself,,
in "which it .could 'either stand or lie down at -plea-
sure. Mr. ALLEN, a salesman from near Braun -
stow,. in Northampton Shire, accompanied the Barge
from that place, in charge of the sheep, and in order
to sell them at market. On the arrival of the
Barge close alongside the wharf, the sliding
boards at - the hide of the Boat, and between the
pens, weft.; taken' out, and the sheep all walked or,
jumped 'on to the 'wharf in ;he course of a few mi-
. nutes.; after whin they were driven to -a field of
grass for the. night. The -Boat left Braunston on
Tuesday last at three o'clock, and in. 53 hours it
'arrived, after a journey of upwards.of 95 mile; it
is expected that a similar Boat, laden with sheep,
will now weekly arrive in future. '

instigation.of DONE, one. of the heads of the masses,
who had been enrolling men for some days. past, and
had shewn himself publicly in tinifortn.: The-ensigns
of the Hag Faith, first used in 1779, were re-Mu-d-
-anced on.this occasion. In consequence of this inter
ligence, I ordered the troop, to March towards Castel-
and went in person to :emboli, to dire& their.
o7erations. Here we arrived- yesterday, dbOut one
in the afternoon: I immediately took measore3 for
ttking the banditti; but I learned by the inhabitants,
who came to my assistance,- that LtoNE and one of
his relatives have been killed by his own people, and
that:his brother and four of his friends had also -been
arrested, and were to be: delivered up to me.- This.
report I found to be accurate,, as the Prik)ners were-
delivered up on the same clay. I shall have them
• tried by the Military .Commission. This Country
is nowtranquil. I shall colle& all the intelligence
that may be useful in throwing light upon the causes
of their revolt.
