BRITISII PROPERTY IN SWEDEN.

A Meeting was held yesterday, at the Merchant
Seamen's Office, of persons interested in the pro-
perty seized some time ago in the ports of Swe-
den, by order of the Swedish Government.
It was. 4tate.d to the Meeting, that the SwediSh
Government had restored 100,0001. of the seized
prOperty ; anti iarther restoration was expected
to be made.. The only question to be considered
was,: the most expedient way of dividing tia! same
equally and fairly amongst the whole of the suf.-
f-)3,ers. A deed of trust was considered the most
eligible mode of proceeding.
It M''29 suggested, however, bye a Gentleman
present that by obtaining an Act of Parliament
to authorise. the division of the monies restored,
the.: end proposed Would be better attained, as
those acting under a deed of trust might be.call-
ed upon by claimaats years after the account was
closed; but an Act of Parliament would be a
complete answer to those who did not come for-
ward within a prescribed period. Alter Some far-.
ther discussion, the arrangement of this matter
was left with the 'Committee: 4

A. Correspondent informs us of a most outra-
geous attack upon Mr. F.`,LE, a farmer, at Ash-
ley-hole, Somerset, on the confines of GlotiCes-
tershire, on the evening of Monday last, whilst
sitting in his parlour with his family. The bark-
big of a yard-dog caused the first alarm, soon af-
ter which, there was a loud knocking at the
kit.then door; no answer was returned to inter-
rogatories fro►u Within, biit soou after the door
was forced by four ruffians, armed with blud-
geons, who entered the parlour where Mr. and
Mrs. E., their daughter seven years,old, and the
Maid-servant, were sitting. One of them knock-
ed Mr. FALL down without ceremony, and conti-
nued their violence until he was Unable to move.
His wife and daughter were fastened into a clo-
set, and the servant-maid was compelled to go
up stairs with the villain's, who broke open every
lock they could get at, and stole from a chest of
drawers, Bank-notes and cash, to the amount of
113/. with which they made off: The main-ser-
va►tt was locked in. a separate room before the
villains departed. Mr. B. Is described to he in a
dangerous state. A carter and his boy, whe slept
in a different part of the house,. were not dis-
tnrbed. _ _ _

A few days since, as Mr. Wm. Bolingbroke,
rug-manufacturer, of Coggeshall, Essex, ..vas
turning into the gateway. of WoOd-
bridge, a horse had run furionSly away with a gig.
belonging to Captain Chester, of the ,Artillery,
which came in contact with Mr. B.'s chaise, and
instantly threw it over, when Mr. 8.. received
seine very severe bruis'es, but Captain C.'s ser-
vant sustained little injury, though dragged 100
yards .on the ground. The gig was broken to
pieces. _

concourse of upwards of .500 spectators,, who
formed a ring, when the combatants immediately
