At the late Norwich County Sessions, MArt-
SHAM ELwts, Esq. who took the chair in consequence of
the indisposition of Lord SUFFIELD) at the instance, •it
is believed, of that Nobleman, recommended that the gentle-
men of the county should purchase malt on a large scale, at
the then existing low price, and retail it out, at a trifling
loss to themselves, to their labourers—the same proposition had
been made by Mr. Citisr BROWN to the farmers. His Lord_
ship has been trying the experiment with success amongst
hia labourers, whose numbers have fluctuated according to.cir-
cumstances from 80 to 140.

A merchant of Perth has invented a new'ma-
chine for fishing oysters, the power of which is so great, that
one man with it can do as much as ten in the ordinary way.
Yesterday afternoon the horses of the Times
Brighten coach suddenly- took Might in the Westminstel-road,
and, proceeded with the utmost rapidity through the London-
road, passed the Elephant and Castle, where they were accus-
tomed to stop for parcels and passengers,and were finally drawn
up on Kennington Common, without the slightest7accidept, al-
though the roads were lined with thousands proceeding to Peck-
ham fair, &c. If the reins had faileo, most serious conse-
quences might have ensued; and great credit is due to the
coachman for preserving his presence of inind,,when the slight-
est error on his part might have proved fatal to the passengers.
Yesterday, a young woman. of respectable ap-
pearance, was observed by some persons to be walking oh the
bank of the Serpentine River in a very agitated state of mind •
she was accordingly watched, when in a short time (think-
ing she was unobserved) she made a plunge in. Immediately
two respectable men hastened to her relief,. and succeeded,
after being some time immersed• in the water, in raving he-.
She was conveyed in an insensible state to St. George's Work-
house., Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. On 'receveriag, she'
was asked the cause of attempting the rash act. She said she
had been'for a long time in a state of the most abject poverty,
and that she was quite tired of her existence.
