LEEDS, APR IL 5.

On MOnclgy night last the foliowing melancholy
circumstance happened at Doncaster : Mrs. Speight,
of Ferrybridge,l being on a visit at Mr. Orcliff's,
was walking up St. Sepulchre's-gate with some of
her friends,; bout eight o'clock in the evening,
when she unfortunately fell into a cellar, . which had
been dug out for building on, and, not fenced off, by
Which accident her collar-bone and one of her arms
were broken, and her hip dislocated, besides being
otherwise so mulch bruised that. her life is despaired
of.
- On Saturday last a foot-race was runfrom Wake-
field-bridge to -Doncaster-bridge; a 'distance 'of
about nineteen miles and a halt:, between Mr. B.
Waugh, of Wakefield, and Mr. Wm. Raynor, of
Dodworth, near Barnsley, which was won by the
former beating his antagonist about fifty yards :
the distance was run in two liduis and fifty_fiv& tni
great cbncourse of spthators lined tll6.
.road for several miles froM Wakefield, and a •nutn-,
'ber of horsemen attended them all the way. The
wager was 40 to 20 guineas. Considerable sums
were bet on the occasion, and the knowing ones
were taken. in. The Gentlemen started at two
o'clock in the afternoon, and kept nearly together
all the way, Raynor frequently taking the lead.
The race was well contested, and evinced great'
strength and bottom in the' winner. Bets at start:
ing were six to four on Raynor.

. .
Ry the recent arrivalS from India, we learn that
a very considerable sensation was occasioned at
Amboyna by the, following circumstance : It has
been the praClice in this. Settlement, from time im-
memorial, for every Ac boynese to plant a clove-tree
when a child Was born to.him,, in order, by rough cal-
,
culation, to know its age. One of these trees being
consiiered as interrupting the prospeCt of the neigh.;
bourhood of one of the villages, `an order was inad-
vertently given by the Officers of the Pistria for
cutting it down, and some Soldiers were appointed
to the service; tut the first stroke of the axe ap_,
geared the, signal for universal insurreCtion ; the
whole Country was in arms, and some .ads.of hos.:
tility ensued. The • people - declared, that if the
tree was felled, they would set fire to their habita-
tions, and retire into the interior ; and the Gover-
nor found it expedient to order. that the attempt
should be abandoned; by which means tranquillity
was restored. '•

A Lady, whose husband had made strong ob..
jeetiOns to the large presents she frequently made
the Shepherd of a Methodistical Flock, being too
ill to offer her usual compliment in person, and
.fearful that a_ letter might . excite
.the curiosity of
her Lord, modestly begged he would permit her,
to present the Rev. Mr. W with a goose.
He could not refuse so trifling'a favour, and
she inclosed ten pound note in the body of the
bird. Mr. W was out of town, but his
servant returned compliments and thanks. Con_.
ceiving the goose might spoil before his return,
the Cook resolved to enjoy it with her friends. In
preparing it for the spit, the 'note was discovered
wrapped in oil-skin; but as she had concealed the
goose, she was bound w conceal the valuable prize.
The Lady recovered ; and as the worthy Pastor did
not offer his usual thanks; site suspetaed some :nis-
take, and ventured to ask how he liked the goose.
The fraud was then deteded ; but as the Lady
fereti the displeasure of her husband, and the
Preacher the public ridicule, both parties were coin_
belled to endure the loss in silence.
