A
raNTIO.UITIES.-on Monday, the Bth inst. as a
man was lowerhig a causeway, by the side of a
stable, in the occupation of the Rev. Mr. SMITH,
of Cotgravc, near Nottingham, he discovered; a
few inches below, the surface, a ltlack pot, in
which were deposited 126 pieces of silver coin,
viz. half-crowns, shillings, and sixpences, of
Elizabeth, Jamesi. and Charles 1. and also one
Spanish dollar, of the date of 1637. These coins
are said to be, with a very few exceptions, in
good preservation; and it is a reasonable suppo-
sition, that they were buried during the troubles
iu the reign of the unfortunate Charles the First.

- WATC HM A N ErrnAormiNAßy.—An inhabitant
of Wolverhampton, having been much trespassed
,upori by persons turning- horses into his field at
night, ,and -taking them out very early in the
nnirning, determined, if possible, to detect the
depredators, and about ten. o'clock on the night
of the I2th instant, went to keep watch fOr that
purpose, After exaMining and finding his mare
alone in the field, and every thing as it should be,
he placed himself behind the hedge in an adjoin-
ing held, in such a situation as to haVe a complete,
view of his gate, and tvatched, but without ef-
fect, until two o'clock in the wording, when, sup-
posing himself safe for that. night, he relinquished-
his employment.; Previous to going home, how-
ever, he took another turn round his:own field ;
and, to his infinite mortification and surprise,'
found—not that an additional number of horses
had been turner. -in during; the time, but that his
Own bad actually been tole'? out. The mare has
'been since advertised, but this piece of hoctisliocus
remains-Jis yet undiscovered.

disgrace our country took place; on Sunday last,
at the other Side of Cross=baTry, at a place called

thereis an annual pattern. Two factions, the
Dessmonds against the Coricerys and Velhonys, 'to
ttrc numbcr.of a hundred at a.side, attacked each.
other with swords, pistols, muskets, and bayonets,
when we regret to say two unfortunate men were
one of whom,' of the 'latter faction, was
front the neighbourhood of Brinny, besides seve-
wounded. The Her: Mr.. ,BEAtroRT made
eNerY exertion, but ineffectually, to suppresS this
meeting, by ponting ootttlie dreadful consequence,
which are too truly Yerined.—One man was killed
and two wounded, in an affray at the fair of Ant-
dleton, last week.—(Cork 4dvertL-er'.)

Wilier) into by some thieves, who stripped the
bar of all the liquors, as well as all the money re-
ceived on the day before.. It appeared they con-
tinued in the house for some time, as the land-
lady, who is a widow, was disturbed by their
noise about two o'clock, and in consequence'
came on 'the stair-case, when she saw several
men in the bar with a light, which so much ter-
rified- her, that instead of giving the alarm, she
locked-herself inkier bed-room. After some time
had elapsCd, they went off with their' booty,. feat.
