~7TheSe llaces, Which take their name from the
beautiful seat Of Colonel Harbord, on whose grounds
they are'run;. commenced on Tuesday last. The
fineness of the weather, the extent and variety pf
scenery in the Park, and the numbers of people who
thronged; to enjoy the amusement, 'added, much to
the animation of the Sports. With the sport of the
horse-racing, were mingled the usual interludes of
foat-racing,-wreitling,,&c. and over these Mr. Ed-
ward Harbord presided, who is himself looked.up
to asan Achilles in these manly exercises, • Buick-

the sports of former tittles, many of which, for want
of encouragement, have been lost and forgotten, make

-This evening's entertainments at the Theatre are,
_Cgre for .Heart Aehe, and No Song No Sup:.

for the benefit of Mr. WOODLEY. Such sanaion
cannot fail of pioducing him attendance of all, the
fashionables here.

,For these two days past a strong •gale .of mind
has blown 'from the E. S. E. The Dap-per pun-
brig, at anchor in our Roads, was in consequence,
obliged to strike her yards and top-masts;. but the
gale has moderated, and she appears to have rode it
out well. • •

The Rover Packet, with a Mail and Passengers,
for Guernsey and Jersey, is prevented by the gale
from sailing...
Our coast, as well as that .of Bridport, is continu-
ally infested with French Privateers, who, by their
superior sailing, elude
,the vigilince of, the Gun-
brigs on this :station. Unless large Lugg,cers and
Cutters are alio appointed to look out for them, and
assist in the cbace, our coasting trade must thiS
winter inevitably experience the most serious . de-
predations.

The following interesting Statement is extraaed -
from the Porismouth and Hampshire Telegraph,
dated Monday, Od. 26, 1807.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE HAMPSHIRE. TiGEORAPH.

SIR, ,
In taking a retrospea of the various pursilits and
obje&s of human. life, I need not farther elucidate in
addresaing myself to you on the subject of healtkl, as
being the moil important of all our earthly consider-
ations., without the possession of which no source of
happinesS can here avail. As however: elated our
present, or flattering the future; prospeCis of expec-
tation; the'abSenSe of that alone at once depreSsei
the noble mind, sinks it into a state 9f apathy, .and
at last becomes inseniible• to the means of self-pre-;
servatiOn. .Hence it will fully appear, that in no in-
stance of persenal_secutity are we more truly jUstilied
than to guard most cautiously against the change of
climate, as assuredly a formidable enemy p. EUro-
pean constitutions. -
I more particularly allude to the. great mortality in
our West India Colonies, principAly proceeding
from Bilious Diseases, the immediate 'or ale:note
cause of which must obviously appear to every indi-
vidual as arising froM some change of system, agi-
tation of mind, violent passions, iruproper 'applica-
tions in the first stage of disease, or for, want of that
particular attention so 'essentially important in the
commencement of fevers from obstruded bile—
originally the cause' and effeel of most fevers in tro-.
opai Qlimato*, by whkb 'env hatf the inhabit fits are
destroyed. • • •

Consequently it ought to be our utmost care to
provide agaiust so powerful an 'enemy, where every
avenue is open to attack.

As various are the causes ref Fever, none more so
than the errors of diet, unwholesome air, extreme
degree of beat or cold, emotions of the mind, &c.
These are cousiderations that should very naturally
incline us not to negle& the most trifling appearance
of indisposition occurring from either of those symp-
toms.

As .Fever is an effort of.nature, we ought to throw
off the offending cause.; and 'which, if attended to
at the beginning, would, seldom Continue long ; but
when negleded or cotititeraded, it is no wonder the
disease. proves fatal, particUlarly in hot climates,
where it generally terminates in a few hours.
And feeling it, a bounden duty, froth the striaest
principles bf humanity- we owe to mankind, to
communicate, for the benefit of others, those bene-
fits received ourselves, I beg, through the means of
your publication, to state the unexampled and great
'benefits resulting from a valuable medicine entitled
The Yellow Fever Powder Remedy and Preventa-
tive, Charing-cross, London ; great credit and merit.
is certainly due to the Direeturs of that Lnstitution,
who, at their own expence, have liberally contribut.
ed to the reliefol thousands of their fellow-creatures,
particularly in the Dutch, Settlements, not only from
motives of rendering a national good, but by autho-
rizing their Agents to administer them in circum-
stances of distress, free of cost, whereby the credu-
lous have been convinced of their real efficacy—
having, and what is generally known in most of the
Colonies, produced immediate relief even in the last
stage of disease. , . • .
Should this communication be considered as wor-
thy 4 place in your Paper, the end will be fully at--
tained,
, .
Of, Sir, your obedient Servant,
AN 00) WEST INDIAN.

ifoxton, on the 1i th of June lit,t. • . .

I\4r. ALLEN-, on the. part, of the ni• •• osecut:en
i..
dressed the Court. He dwelt upon the importimce
of the preset); iyestigtitioe, both as: it affected the
chara'6ter and pursuits ef the Defendant, and the
'general interest of the -Public. The TraVerser was
a sehoolmasterat Hexten, and the child of the Pro-
secutor was placed under 'his Common
sense bad very. wisely given to persons upon ellen,.
the dnties of improbving the tender minds of youne;
persons devolved, a right tt) restrict the core: ,i,siett
of offences by a Wholesome hilt moderate-cort &Ik).
The question then for the, Jury to ascertain, was,
not whether the boy bad'aaed wrong, but whether
the Schoolmaster had not punished him toe his
fault in' a Nt'anton,,Cruel, and unnecessary manlier ?'
it would" appear from eVidence, that the child Wag
bitten by a dog ; and it was ii .the recolleetion of
the• Jury; that deritig lest summer, a very gene-
ral apprehensien.existed.througitota part of the
kingdom, as to the.preVaktice -of the 'hydrepinibia.
The boy,-on his return, from school, acquainted
parents of his having been birten ;, and, as was very
natural, the father prevente4 the child from attend-
ing school the next day, 'in order- that' he might -
haVe' the child under his own eye, should there ap---
pear any unfavourable symptoms. In the course of
the next day,.the-Traverser called on Mr. Tiede!, •
the Prosecuier,at his house in Hackney, to learn the
cause of the boyi absence yore school. When hee
was made acquainteit. with' the- cause, he replied,
,that the boy had been-pi:eloink the, dok, but that
there Was no danger, as the animal was perfettly
safe. Mr. Tindal said, n would send the boy next
day to school, at the same• time, desif ing 'the Tra-
verser not to inflia any severe punishment even •
him. The boy went to school accordingly,, and
the Traverser did inflict a punishinent, has
appeared to its parents aseruel, violent, and uri4
necessary, and for which They have appealed to the
justice of the country.
Thomas Tindal deposed, that he resoles at Hack-,
ney, and that the Defendant is the Master of
School at Hoxton. He placed his- child under his .
tuition, about the endofdast Apra, where he ceit- ,
tinned to attend till the 1 tth of the following June..
, I.Jean the 9th elf that month, the child, on his return
froth. school, complained of his hailing been bitten
by -,.a dog. The Witness desired Dien to stay at •
home the next day, as he wished to. watch whether
any utdaV.ourable con Sequences should result from
the accident. On.. the day subsequent, the
verser called on the Witness, and told him that the;
,boy had plagued the dog, .bUt that he was a safe
animal. Witness replied, that the boy should gO •
to school on the next day, but desired the Traverser
not to beat him' cruelly.
On his cross-examination by.. Mr. PUlt WRY, he
admitted that the Traverser said, that the boy was-,
in the habit of throwing stones at the dog, which -
was usually tied up, and it also appeared that' the
Prosecutor, agitated from-the treatixient the boy (re-
ceived, did, on, the t !tit of Juee, go to the school ,
of the Defendant, and conduai himself in a' Warm,
• angry manner.

were throwing a bail frOm. one to -the other;
when it accidentally hit the doe. The dog theti
rushed at a Master Major, and also bit the :Witness'
as he came out of:the schoel. 'When. he returned
on the 11 th June, to school, hist master called
upon him to acknowledge-that he hail thrown stonca
at the dog,•and said that he (would not, beat
he adniitted it. The:.thaster then took him by rata
head, and beat him on the small of the back;ana:
op the posteriors, with . a cane Rot thicker than . -
finger. He made no complaint to any person, net
did he say any thing while he was sufferieg
ment.

On his cross-examination by Mr. GURNEY, ,thy
little interestiug`child was so intimidated, as to burst
into tears, and was unable to proceed, until encou'
raged by the conciliatory wanner of the Learned
-Counsel.

Mrs. Tindal deposed, that she:never saw • such a
sight, and she hoped she never al her child's
back exhibitcl on his return from sohook There
were a number of brilises, at least six or seven, and
