ATTEMPTED MURDER.—The village of Stratton
St. Margaret, msr Swindon, Wilts, was thrown into
considerable excitement en Friday last, owing to Mr.
Abel Habgood, son of Mr. John Habgood, of that village,
having be, n shot at on the previous night, on the Swin-
don and Lechdale turnpike road. It appears that Mr.
Habgood had visited the neighbourhood of Lechdale on
Thursday last, and was returning home between ten and
eleven o'clock in the evening, in a gig, when he wase
accosted by a man on the road, about a mil© from the
tb
town of Highworth, who requested a lift to Swindon.
This was acceded to, and the two entered into conversa-
tion, about two miles on the road, until they
at a cross-roads where the man requested tona_lcr alight.
Mr.
hatt.Tved
i
Habgood tmrnediat*ly pulled up his horse, a
com-
panion, seizing the reins in one hand, drew a d
pistol with
the other, and fired full in the fafuuatecoert
fortunately was not
of Mr. Habgood,
and then decamped. The p
loaded with a ball, but shot oitnsalii,d
bat. Medical several of which Mr.
Habgood received in his face
assist-
ance was procured, and a number of shots have been
extracted from his head and face. The police are now
ae,i,oly engaged in tracing out the guilty person, it
suspute d that jealousy only, and not
being generally
robb Tv, was the instigation of this diabolical attempt.
NEW WAY TO DEESE', VEGETABLES,—With plain
boiled peas, when just boiled I put in a stewpan a little
milk, butter, cayenne pepper, and one ounce of grated
Parmesan cheese, stir two minutes, and serve. French
beans may be dressed the same way, as also young
broad beans and cauliflowers, or any small vegetables,—
Soyer.
The mercantile advices from Hamburgh report a
qu;et roartt,t for produce, with the exception of coffee,
which had slightly advanced in price ; the sales for the
week were 30,000 bags. There was no alteration in the
rate of exchange, which remained at 13 10 and 13 11-1-
on London. The funds were firm at an advar cc.
Harmony exists in difference no Jess than in like-
ness, if only the same key-note govern both put 2.—
