A .match of pigeon shooting , took place yesterday
on Finchley Common, for 20 guineas a side, be-
tween F. Moss, Esq. a celebrated snipe, shot, and
Mr. Hanson, a yeoman in Herts, at fifteen pigeons
each.. Mr. Moss missed his first, fifth, <<rtd fifteenth
birds : his competitor missed his second, eleventh,
and thirteenth. They proceeded to decide the match;
by continuing to tire until 'one missed bis bird,
which was the case in Mr. Moss's, 4th fire. .His
opponent followed, and killed his bird, which de-
cided the maid'. Before the match commenced,
Hansonwas the favourite.

SMITIIFIELD MARK ET, JULY 25.

This day's Market afforded but a short supply of
different kinds of Cattle ; Beef, -Veal, Pork, and
Lamb support last prices ; Mutton is something
cheaper, -and the trade in general was not over
brisk ; the buSiness done in the Hay-market was
trifling ; Hay and Clover have dropped, in price since
Monday's Market ; Straw fetched a 'better price.

her to. That the Ship which, the Leander-
chase of still continued on her course ; upon %.I;'hic.t
the Leander wore down and fired seven- gone; w.-
der English English colours, from the larboard side. ,That
the Ship immediately bore down, and proved' to be
an Ameridan Ship from Charleston, bound to
Liverpool, in Great Britain ; that atter the said Ship
had come under the lee of the Leander, they fire
two nine-pounders at her, and one of them struck
her forward, and the other aft ; that the Captaar of
the Leander.ordered the 'MJster of the American
Ship to.lower his yawl ; upon which the Miter
replied, " that he ,d d not think his yawl woaid
swim;`' that he then ordered brio to hoist out Irk'

being able to put out his leng-boat)"in which
came on board the Leander, with two of his Se:,-
men,-in a very leaky state : dial: after the American
Ship was within hail, they continued to fire
and small arms from the quarier,leck of the Lean let
at her while they were leaving the boat; that the.

BRIDGETOWN (Barbadoes), APRIL sg.--There ap-
pears strong suspicion. that the Enemy is forming
some , projea at Guadaloupe to attack some of our
,Islands. Accounts from thence mention that great
numberS of the ,Troops are colle&ing in and about:
Basseterre, and an . extensive Depot of ammuni—
tion and prOvisions made both there and at Point
Petre. it is thought by some that it is for the
purpose of co-operating with VICTOR HUGHES 111,
an attack upon Surinam, which; it is said, he me-.
ditates from Cayenne ; but the most probable inten--
tion of those demonstrations is a design on'sonie
more contiguous obje&. •

The second examination of A. Mackenzie, on a
charge, of obtaining large quantities of shoes and
boots as for the export •-tiade, from a great. pum-
ber of the most eminent men in that line, came on
y.tsterday, In 'the course of the first examination,
it appeared :ae was in the habit of this business, for
which his appearance and plausibility of language
well qualified him ; towards the afternoon he would
call on the tradesmen, have the goods looked oast,
and an invoice Made ; soon after the Banker's shops
'Were shut, he would, apparently in an honourable
way, give a cheque on his Bankers,Varying them as
his purposes required, for an even sum of 151:201. or
251. taking the difference in change ; this he is said
to have-followed for a long time, as`a great number
of tradesmen have been so treated. What led to his,
dete&ion in this instance, was -a fraud he had prac-
ticed on Mr. Moffatt, a shoemaker in Throgmorton-
street ; who deposed that a short timesince the pri-
spner came to his shop and purchased several articles;
in payment for them, he gave a cheque on the houSe of
Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co. for much more than
-the goods came to, and the Witness made up the
deficiency in gold and silver. - On the cheque being
presented the next day at theßanking-house, no such
person was-known thpre, nor had he ever any effeas
-in their hands—this naturally led o.;e Witness to a
knowledge of the-cheat played off upon him, and
he took great pains to inform other persons in his
line of it, and -request if such imposition was at-
,tempted to lie practised upon them or any of them,
.he might be sent for—a similar kind of cheat, was
•on Thursday evening the 17th inst Ant attempted on
Brown, another shoemaker, -in the Curtain-
, road, Shoreditcb, by the Prisoner, who came into
his shop in the evening and made a purchase, and
• tendered ,in payment a cheque on the house of
Messrs.. Jones and Lloyd, Lothbury—the same as
before, for a larger sum 3- Mr. Brown took the
'cheque, and under pretence of going out to borrow
el,afige, brought- Mr., Moffatt and a Con Stable tb
apprehend him : he was taken to this office, and,
on the oath of Mr. Moffatt and Mr. Brown, corn=
-witted to Clerkefil.vell Prisbn for re-mmlnation on
this day, and notice given to all persons lately-de- .
trauded in that way to attend. When brought up
five more persons if-lithe. same line -came forward-; -
a-Mr. Such, of. the Borough; -Mr: Smith, of Ox-
ford-street ; 111 r. Wilkins, of Wapping-; Mr. Jones,
of Tooley-street, and Mn Scaise, of-. Botherhithe
who had all Sntiered like frands-, and from a similar
person. Their examinations wexe not fully gone
into, as from the tempestuous state of the weather,
' several who were 'exPeEtedto attend could dot, and
therefore the final examination Was deferred till next
Thnrsdsy,.at t 1 o'elOck--, when alLpersons lately de-
frauded will have an oppottunity to attend and iden,,
tifv him. His .range, it appears, has been great,
and it is at least probable that he 'has got 'a
connexion in the besiness, to'enable him to get ritt of
what he he had obtained by the various frauds tie is
accused of.

of a challenge from Henry Esq. to John
H--, Esq..; the two fotmer were holind in recog.
nizances in 5001. andsuretiesinliol. each, making
in all 20001. to preserve the peace : the. difference
arose about a Lady of accomplishments and-beauty.

At the Quarter Sessions for Bristol, held on Mon-
day last, Stephensi a johrneyman carpenter,
appealed against a convktion bk a Magistrate, for
.Cotribining with other journeymen to raise their
wages ; but. the convi&ion was confirmed, and' be .
was sentenced .to two months confinement to hart
labour in bridewell;and ordered to pay 31. 10s.costs.
John Gildart was found guilty of embezzling several
sums of money, amOuntince to upwards-of 2001. re-

Mr. FIATSEL, in 'his Precedents, Speaking 'af the
exclusion of women from the Gallery of the House
of •Commons, says—" The most remarkable instance
of this that has occurred in my memory, was at
.-a time. when the whole %allay and the seats under
the front gallery were filled with Ladies.- Captain
JonNsToNE of the .Navy (commonly called. Gover-
nor JOHNSTONE) being angry that the House was
cleared of all the men, strangers,' amongst whom
were some friends he had introduced, insisted that
all strangers should withdraw?: This produced a
violent ferment fora long time, the Ladies .strewing
great reltiEtance to comply with the orders of the
House ; so that, by -their ,perseverance, business
was_ interrupted nearly two hohrs. But at length'
they, too, were compelled to subriait. Since2hat
time; Ladiei, many of the, highest rank, have
made several painful efforts to be again admitted;,
but Mr. CORNWALL," and -the present Speaker
,(then Mr. ADDINGTON), have as constantly de-
clined to permit them to come in. Indeed, was
this privilege allowed to any one individual, how-
ever high her rank, or respe6table her chara6ttr
and manners, the Galleries must be soon opened
to all Women,- who, from curiosity, amusement,'
or any other motive,- wish to hear the debate- ' all
this to the exclusion of many young men, and of
merchants and others, whose commercial interest
render their attendance necessary to them, and
of real use and importance to the public,, &c.,
Lord. SnAFTEsriuriY spoke, it the year 1675, ',of
the scandal arising from . the droves of Ladies that
attended causes depending in. •the House,-ef Lords.
In GRAY'S Debates, vol. iii. p. 222. is the follow-
ing :—Some Ladies were in the Gallery, peeping,
over the' Gentlemen's shoulders. The Speaker spy-
ing thew,- called' out, What borough do these La-
dies serve for ?'' 'To which Sir:Wm.. COVENTRY
They serve for the, SP'EAKER'S Chamber.'
Sir Triom.AS L'ritt'rom•said, ` Perhaps the Speak-
er may mistake Gentlemen with fine sleeves., -dressed
like Ladies.' Says the -Bi,eAKEe; lam sure I
saw petticoats'.---This was on the first of: June,
1675, and stews that„though they, were at that
time admitted into the House of Lords; it was not
customary for Ladies to attend the Debates in the
House of Commons."

Elizabeth Morey being . sworn, says, she left the
Capeof Good ?Hope with Mr.,Lovat Melo , Capt.
of the American Ship Duke of Portland, bound to
Lima ; on or about the Ist of June, Istl ,:tlie Ship
touched at an Island in the Pacific- Ocean, c4lled
Tongataboo. Capt. Mellon received dmessageby
a white man, 'named Doyle, then residilg on the .
Island (and who, Deponent afterwards learnt,- had
got there from some Vessel that had been cast away
on another Island, and the'Capt. and crew killed),
that the Chief wished him (Capt. Mellon) to send one
of his boats manned, -to assist him in repelling some
invaders that had landed from another Island; a boat
was sent, armed, with eight men and the Second
Mate (Mr. Anderson); who, after he perforined the
duty alloted td him, returned On board in the evening.
Previous to Mr. Anderson's return ,on board, ,Mr.
Gibson, the Chief Mate, with a boat manned with
:four men,,went on shore, for the purpose of bring- ,
,ing the former boat's . ctew on board ; 'which
he did, and both. boats 'came together. Soon
after the return of the boats on board, the Chief
of that part of the Nand,- Ducova, came on board to _
:return the Captain thanks - for the assistance he had
:receiVed, stopped on board the Ship all night,. and ,
on the morning following went on shore : the night
after, the Chief , sent word on board for the two
boats to be sent' on shore for refreshments the next.
morning;- the Captain-Ordered the Mate not to do-
so ; but the following morning, before the Captain
was up, the Mate sent them both manned and:
'armed, with the Second Mate : about two hours of•
.terwards, the small heal returned with two boys in
her, accompanied by several canoes and natives,.
with yams, and the White man Doyle: after unload-
' ing her, she was again sent on shore, with -the two
. boys ; 'but the natives, with the white man Doyle,
before mentioned, remained on board. Shortly of--
• terwards .the natives, with the said Doyle, took an
opportunity of surrounding, the Captain, cilia Mate,
:,and sailors then on board, seven in number, ant.
killed them all, except two boys, this deponent, and
a blaCk woman,- her servant, and threw the dead
bodies overboard. This deponent, seeing the mas-
sacre, attempted to jump overboard, hitt was pre-
vented by 'the,White man, Doyle, who told her not
to be frightened, for -she 'should not be hunt: she
- was .sent soon after on shore in one of the natives'
, canoes, and given' to, the Chief's -wife. Deponent,
after - she had got on shore, learnt from the boys,
five in number, that were left 'alive, with a white
Man of -diminutive stature, that the whole of the,*
Ship's company that were on shore had been killed,
except ,themSelveS; that the Ship, after the depo-
nnt's departure, was kept by Doyle; that the Chief
1 hiniself went off to get her unloaded, 'for three sue-
tessive days; but not being 'able 'to accomplish the
unloading of the Ship, be ordered the five remain-
ing white persons to go on board to render assistance
in landing her cargo, which consisted chiefly of bales,
of _calico, and different pieces of goods; which they
accomplished in six 'days following; that all thesails
were unbent and landed, except two; that after the
cargo was so,landed, the four Vhite.boys and man
took an opportunity of driving the natives overboard,
killing Doyle, cutting the cables, and standing out
to sea with the Ship ; and that what further became
of the Vessel the deponent cannot say. - • , ,

Depositions respea ing the Union, of America.
Daniel Wright, Chief Mate of the. Ship Union,
of New-York, being 'swum, says, that on- or about
the loth of August, 1804, he sailed in the Said Ship
from Port Jackson, under the command of Captain '
Pendleton, having taken on, board Mr. John Boston, •
wtoth this Deponent understood
.to be Supercargo ; .
that they • touched at Norfolk Island, and from
thence proceeded for the Island of Tongataboo, one
of the Friendly Islands, where they arrived on or
about the goth of September; that soon after they
came to an anchor, a number of canoes _visited
thern,'but left them at sun-set ; that on the follow-
'. ingiinorning they came off in great numbers; among
them wai•ri Malay that spoke broken English, who
informed then], that they could get plenty of wood,
water, and refreshments there, and was very urgent
for the Shili's boat to be sent onshore; that one. of
'the Ship's boats was accordingly ;hoisted out, man-
ned with six men, four muskets, and two cutlasses ;
in which boat the-Captain and Mr, Boston Went ;
dint soon aftet the departure of the boat from the
Ship,,the Natives became very -troublesome from
their fltimbers on board, and round the vessel ; that
thiS Deponent stationed all his remaining hands
abbOt the "Sinp-to prevent their coming on bqard ;
but tliey'succeeded in getting up, contrary- to his
wish, to the number of thirty, who this Deponent
observed had passed a number of clobs in the Ship's
channels ready to he handed in ; and frc.m his Ob-
servations, he had no doubt but that they meant to
take the Ship ; that the Chief frequently urged this
Deponent -to let more men-come on board, whiCh
.he positively refused, telling him, that he should be
obliged to turn out those who were already on board,‘
which he did,•the greater part. without any resist-
ance or much trouble ; that the Chief did not seem,
-in any Wise, dissatisfied with thiS. proceeding,: but!
remained on board some time after to' at and drink
‘s.vith this Deponent ; that he shortly-after took leave;
of the ship, and was accompanied by thewhole ofl
the canoes alongside ; that immediately after: they
,departure of the Natives from'the Vessel, the. D-
eponent hoisted the, colours of-the !Ship and-fired a
gun, to pa those on shore upon . their guard,- from
his observation -of the conduct of those that 'were on
. board ; but soon after, taking up the spy-glass, and

looking towards the shore, he 'perceived he Ship's •
boat on the beach, lying broadside up, in the hanag
(if the Natives, and a infinliertoglstiveS about ;her;;
that this Might have been one- and. two
o'Cloek, the boat having bo6.gotie shout four hours;
that this Deponent then 'put`-the. Ship: in the best
order he could, expeaing an-attack- from. the Na-
tives'; but no canoe came off that night ; tliat, the
next morning two
~canoes came within hail, but'
would not come on ,board; and, froth. several .ges- ,
tures which they made, the people wonted this De-
ponent to fire on them, having construed those ges-
Sures to that of the boat's • crew ,heing murdered,
:also wishing hiM much to get the Ship under, weigh,
:and leave the place immediately, but .'which this
:Deponent would not allow' of;` that .no farther in-,
tercourse pasfied that day_ That the. day following
several canoes came within hail, in One of which
thiS-Deponont discoVered the Malay, who asked this
Deponent to come On, shore; 'for that the Captain
"and Mr. Bostoh wished him ; that he endeavoured
to get the Malay alongsie, but could not prevail
upon him to do so, though he promised to accom-
pany him ; the Malay/4116 went on shore again.
The'same afternoon he came off again, accompanied
by several 'canoes', in-one of whiCh the Deponent
observed an European woman, who spoke to there,
,in English, as did al,so the Malay, inviting him on
shor,e ;' but by partieular signs' from the white wo- ,
man, when unnoticed b. the Natives, ,she forbid
them to comply with . the reqnest. That finding
they could not prevail in getting another boat from
'the 'ship, thvy took their departure, and nothing
.further occurred that day.
The next !Miming, being the third after the boat
in which the. Captain and Mr.. Boston had gone On
shore, severatcanoes again eame"off, in one 'of which
was the' white woman, and in the other the Malay,
repeating the...timber request:;, that the Deponent
endeavoured to get him (the Malay) along-side, by,
offering presents for the Chief, but without effect
that the. white woman stood up in the head of;
one of the canoes, 'cried :out that those'on' shore
were murdered by the natives, and.then leaping in-
to the water,. swam towafd:S the ship, the men on
board presenting. their imisquets„ and thereby detet- •
ring the natives froth, picking her Up,:
.by Which
means she reached the vessel, and was taken on'
board ; that the said woman informed the'Deponent
thSt.the Captain and boat's crew had been murder-
ed on shore ; upon which infortna'fion 'be ordered.
the natives to be fired' cin,'and saw tWo fall in one
of the canoes; , that he immediately, 'directing the
cables to be cut, and putting out to sea, shaped his;
course for Port Jackson, Where he arrived in 3 g days;
'-withOut accident. •

The Deponent farther states, that when getting
under weigh, and sheeting --home his top-gallant,
sails, he heard two tnesquets. fired On shore, but
cannot take upon hitn-selftosay what produced this
circumstance-, further' than. that the White woman
informed him, that the Chief had told her it should
be done, to induce him (the Deponent) to, believe
the people were aliVe and well on shore.
Eliza Morey being sworn:, Says, • that she. jived
with the Chief's' wife, -on the Wand of Tongatabop,'
and that on or aboiit the 30th of SepteMber she un-
derstood that a ship had .arrived at the island ; she
then resided at the ,oppOsite sidethereOf ; that .one
of the natives had come' over for the purpose of
bringing the. Malay, Who was known by the name
of Charley, to go on' board her; that three days after
the Vessel's arrival She was :sent' for- by 'the Chief, to
converse with bile of-the white boys that had come
on shore ; from ,whom she learnt the Ship's name
-that she was from New York, and-that the Captain
and several of her people were' on shore ; that the
Chief desired her to go off to the vessel, and -endea-
, your to get some more-of her boats on shore ; that
she went off in a canoe,. as she was.ordered, accom-
panied by the Malay, With five other -canoes, and
as she was directed, being afraid to do otherwise')
but from the conversation she had overheard among
the natives previous to her going off, she was satis-
fied that the greater part of those who had gone -on
-shore were 'murdered ; but being assiduously .7‘ratcli,
