By Conliband of his Royal Highness,
the Commander in Chief,
HAiI.RY CALVERT, At.ki.-General,

Lord Viscount GAGE, of Firle7place,_ near
Lev,:es, held his audit on Tuesday last, when

tion the present depressed state of the agriculture
of the country, directed, that one-fourth part of
some of the rents, a' fifth, and a sixth of others,
should be rettrrned to the different 'tenants, ac-

BALLOON.—Last Tuesday se'nnight a balloon
of great height, elegantly adorned with many
c,,ricius devices in brilliant colours, and measuring
above :-;6' feet in circumference, ascended trout
Mr. PLAY'en's grounds in the vicinicy
.of Hyde,
Isle of IVight. Au effigy of a man, as large as
life, was attached to the balloon, and so con-
trived as to descend (apparently at will) close to
Hyde Pier, where a number of fashionable spec-
tators ITad assembled to witness the ascent. on
the fall of the effigy, which five minutes previously
bad filed some gunpowder with a very pleasing
effect, theltalloon ascended to nearly double- its
former height, or about two miles, and continued
with great rapidity, as the, wind blew strong front
the South-west, in a North-easterly directicm
over Spithead, till lost at a vast distance among
the clouds. The day was uncommonly fine, and
had there been less wind, the balloon would have
been visible for upwards of an hour, From Ports-
mouth the appearance was grand.

CORONER'S INQUEST.--YeStenlay evening an
inquest was taken before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq.
on the body of Sarah Jones, who- died suddenly
in Bridewell two days preceding. The deceased,
it appeared., had been many years an inhabitant of
Waks, but hall lately wandered up to, town, and
• being found in the streets, was brOught before
the Lord Mayor,,as a vagrant, and committed to
Bridewell, previous to .being passed home- to her
parish. During this interval, her health, which
had been considerably impaired, in consequence of
her former dissipation, was greatly restored ; but
upon the arrival of the day when 'she was about
to be removed into the country, she suddenly
complained of illness, and was re-conducted to
her apartment. Here in a short time Ole again
assumed her health, and was left well and cheer-
ful in her room. This, however, upon being soon
after re-entered, discovered her a corpse. Verdict
—Pied by the Visitation of God.—This inquest
should have been held on the preceding day, but
the Coroner only, and about six
.of the Jury sum-
moned attended. The former took occasion to
say, that the neglect which bad been lately ma-
nifested-in this instance was become notorious,
and be :should feel his duty, upon a repetition
of suet conduct, to prefer a-n indictment against
the part ies.

Bu RGLA RlM—Between twelve and four o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, the door of •a set of Cham-
bers, at No. 9, Holborn-coml, Gray's Inn, was
forcibly broke open, and robbed of -several valu-
able articles ofjewellery, silver spoons, and other
things., to a grearamonnt, with -which the thieves
got Clear off.. Tuesday night, •or early Yesterday
morning, the coach-house of: Sebastian Gonzales
Mastentz, Esq. of Elm Cottage, Hampstead, .was
