NEFVCASTLE, AUGUST I.

ON Thursday evening the Newcastle Volunteers
were- mustered in the Bigg Market, in Consequence
of Colonel CLENNELL having received a Circular
Letter from Lord Ho BART, requesting' that the
Volunteers would hold themselves in perfect readi-
ness.to March, in case the Enetny should make any
attempt 'at Invasion :—The Corps unanimously re..
quested; that Colonel CL EN.NELL would immediate-
ly repeat, to Lord MULGRAVE, their offer of ser-
viee on any part, of the Coast, between the Rivers
Tees and Tweed ;- and also further add, that, if his
I✓o`res ~tp thought proper, theY would take charge
of the Town. The Corps has also received orders
to have 36. rounds of ball cartridges per man sent
from 'the stores at Tynemouth.
ThiS weekihe North York Militia marched froin
hence for. thedencampment at Fulwell, near Sunder.
land.. 'Two Troops of the 4th Dragoons also left
this. Town on Wednesday, for flexham and Mor.
peth ; where they are to remain during‘ the. assizes.

The Leeds Mercury says, " The pra6iice of hold-
ing political meetings at midnight has now become
very fiequent in this county. We are.authorized
tastate, that one-of these meetings was held on Sa-
turday night last, at Hartsheiul-Moor, near Clif-
ton, in this neighbourhOod. There are strong rea-
sons to sllspeet that the persons who compose these
assemblies are influenced by bad designs ; it is, in-
deed, thought that a secret correspondence exists
between them and the Government of France, and
that they are countenanced and supported by men of
consequence in this Country."

A boat with eleven men on board, belonging to
a rkhip employed to take invalid soldiers to Ham-
burgh, was upset on Wednesday evening, by getting
across the hawser of a vessel laying in Yarmouth
Roads, and ten of 'them unfortunately drowned,

THE MARQUIS all ABEV CORN.

The rinforttinate accident which happened to his
Lordship on Saturday in the neighbOurhieod of Stan-
more, is related as folloWs :
About ten o'clock in the. Morning, th 6. Marquis
ordered the phaeton and pair to take the karehioness
and Lady CATHERINE
"HAMILTON (the Marquis's
danghter), to town. They, left the Priory a few
minutes before eleven. When they got .about
half a mile on this side Stanmore, being on. the de-
scent of the hill, the horses went rapidly down with-
Out being curbed, and before they got to the bot-
tom, nt off at full gallop., In vain his Lord-
ship attemPtetZ to stop their career : they Continued
it nearly a mile.; :Yhen the Marquis (from exert_
ing the whole of hks- mu; ular -.strength)_ broke the
his
,h,„1,,1; and the .sudden
reins. From losing
jerk which the carriage receivedi Marquis
was throWn several feet above the and
fell at some distance. In the fall both'
legs were broicen ;. coe at the ancle, the other
immediately below the calf. In this state . the
Marquis remained on the ground when the servants
came up. , 'rhe-horses continued running for two
miles further, the Marchioness and Lady CATHE-
RINE keeping their seats, when the coachman on
horseback 'overtook them; and made a bold effort
to turn the horses into a hedge, by ficing his horse
against them in front ; the-attempt was not
:success-
ful, for the cattle' furiously drove against hitn—he
made a second 'attempt,. when, instead of-driving the
horses into the hedge intended, they barked the phae-
ton into a deep ditch on the other side of the road.
The Marchioness and Lady iCATII ER IN E rolled
into a hedge, and immediately after fell into the
ditch, which was full of mud.. Lady "CATHERINE
received no other injuty- than what arose froth the
fright ;-but the Marchioness, exclusive of her clothes
being all torn to tatters, was htirt on her left side,
and- much- scratched in the arms and' face by thorns
and brambles. - Their escape. Was truly a providen:.
tial-one. To the'coachman's spirited condo ft the
Ladies may consider' themselves Much indebted.—
With the assistance of the servants, the Ladies. Were
immediately taken out of the ditch ; but no sooner
were they out of danger, than they fainted, and, re-
mained in a state of insensibility nearly twenty mi-
nutes. Lady CATHERINE was first restored to her
senses, but the. Marchioness remained- some time
longer much convulsed. Happily,' in
,less- than half
an hour, both Ladies were enabled to walk;-with the
assistance of the servants, to the Marquis, who was
at this time lying on a bank by the road. side, at-
tended by the Surgeon of Stanmore. The Surgeon
received notice of the' accident at the time it happen..
ed, several persons, inhabitants of Stanmore, having
seen the affair from the top of the. hill. In less time
than a quarter of an
.hour after the accident the Sur-
geon was with the Marquis, and set the broken limbs
.without loss of time. The Marchioness, agonized
with terror, inquired if his Lordship was in-danger ?
The Marquis said, " I have only broken my legs."
A post-chaise was brought, but his Lordship said,
" I cannot go iii that, procure something-else."
His Lordship was carried in a litter to the Priory,
the Marchioness and Lady CATHERINE' HAMILTON
following in the post-chaise. An express had been
previously sent -off to London for Dr. PEl.in E R T 024,
Mr. LYNN, and Mr. HEAVISIDE : tllosd gentlemen
arrived soon after the Marquis reached the Priory.
A consultation was held, when the process used
by the Surgeon of Stanmore was. approved of.
The Marquis was carried to bed, and attended dar-
ing the day by the Faculty- Little or no, fever ap-
peared : he passed the following -night with as
much tranquillity 'as could- be expected under such
circumstances, having slept four hourS. Sunday
night the Marquis slept•between five and six hours.;
and yesterday his Lordship was so much recovered,
in the opinion of his Physicians, that Dr: PEN: B ER-
Tom and Mr. HEAv ist DE left him, and-returned
to Town for the-day.

After the Marchioness and Lady CATHERINE
were thrown out of the "phaeton, the horses again
set off, and continued 'to run with the utmost fury.
The Curate of Edgware coming along the road, at-
tempted to stop them, when unhappily the phaecto
drove against him, and took off the cap of his knee.
At last the horses were stopped at the bridge at
Edgware. What is very singular, neither the hones
or the carriage received the smallest injury:

At Liverpool Sessions on last Tuesday se'nnight,
David Hoare and Elizabeth his wife, were inclided
for cruelly confining, and withholding necessary
food and sustenance from Mary Hoare, the daugh-
ter"of David Hoare by' a former wife (a child of
about ten years of age), for several months, so as .to.
be reduced almost to death ; but so wonderfully re-
covered in the course of two months, by the humane
attention of Mrs. Hall; Governess of the Poor-house
in. that town, to whose care she had been committed
by the. Sitting. Magistrate, that neither the Magis-
trate, nor. any of,the Officers, of the Court, who had
seen her. when snatched from the hands of death,
under the roof of her unnatural -parents,
.knew her. to
be the same child, when she was brought into Court;
were found guilty, and sentenced to two years-soli-
tary confinement in the. House of Corredion 'at
Preston, and at the expiration thereof to enter into
recognizances in tool. each, and " two sure-ties in
's°l. each, for their good behaviour for three.
years,' and especially to Mary his daughter.. The
bold and unfeeling behaviour of the delinquents,'
and the silent and attentive manner in which the
whole of the audience listened to thisintcreSting and

but worthy woman, in an opposite house, .who first
discovered and gaVe information of this truly dia

the sympathetic feelings of each, when the 'child,
discovered herself to this witness, with grateful

down both their cheeks,
