anchor, cable, and boat ; she has on board 320
Soldiers, being 210 more than her complement.
The l'iaory still remains here at single anchor,
just off the Harbour, and trom the unfavourable
state of the wind and weather, she is likely still to
remain here. The Body of Lord .NELSON was yes-
terday put into a fresh puncheon of rum.

Tuesday, at the Annual Meeting of the Bath and
West of England.. Agricultural Meeting, Lord
SOMERVILLE produced several pieces of cloth made
front the wool of his own improved breed of sheep,
which unequivocally established the important fact
that Englisli wool is equal to the finest Spanish .
The Meeting resolved.upon instituting a chemical
laboratory, :as. illustrative and highly' benefieial to
rural economy: The show of cattle this year was
comprised of such as were more calculated to enrich
the table and sustain life, than for the dripping pan
or chandler's shop.

A paraghtph has appeared in some of the Papers,
stating' that Capt. BLACKWOOD, of the Euryaius,
had delivered to, the Lords of the Admiralty the
Jack, &c. of the French ship L'Aigle. A letter from an
Officer. of the DOince states that account to be erro.
neous: •The tollowing is an Extract.from the Letter

Affittpwe that Lieut. ammo .most gallantly
boarded her, hauled down her colours, wnich he
brought, partly lashed round his body, into this'
Ship, and then returned to L'Aigle in' aid of the
boarders, and *as unfortunately. shot on Viler pooli.
The Pviante stuck 'to L'Aii,rle for some days atter
the actiOn, and remained with her so near the share
as to endanger her own• safety; and el thOugh •
was considered in, a situation eminently perilous,
yet the Pdiatire was
,obliged to leav© on boardef her
a Lientenant (named PURCIIER) and about fourteen
of. her' people, who were wrecked in her, but who,
I ern happy to say, were saved. The Ensign, /xis,

We have great satisfaalion, in being able to state
that Mr. PHILLIPS, the Publisher, who lost several
valuable Works in the late destruction of the Print-
Mg-office of Mr. GILLETT, was insured for a stun
which will indemnifrhim from serious loss. The
principal part'of his property destroyed,Qll this occa,
sum consisted, we learn, of 4000 copies of the new
edition of Dr. WATKIN'S Biographical Didionary ; of
3500 of the new volume of Public Charafters ; of
the rAli edition of KoTzEntes Siberia ; of Mr.
CROCKER'S new work un Land-Surveying; of a new
edition of Lady Po Nun vr's Letters ;• of several simiti
of Dr. GREGORY'S new Cyclopzedia ; and of nearly
20,00deopies of Dr. IVlAvon's Spelling-book. Those
works are all re-printing with a degree of dispatch
which is chara&eristic of the known energy of their
Proprietor, insomuch thin ne)v editions of some of
them may be expe6ted to be ready in ten days or
a fertnight. The losS orate new types, cast on pur-
pose for 'Dr. Ganootty's new CyClOpg!dia, must,
however, occasion one month's delay it the appear:.

It is singular, that at the time. of the fire at Mr.

the exception of a single sheet; the. whole edition
was consumed. :This work was Afterwards given to

An old Lady, at-a village in Surrey, was last week
defrauded out of rive guineas, nnder the following
curious circumstances : A servant who had lived
with her in her husband's lifetime called on her
on Friday sennight,• and, after a long pretce of a
very important secret, informed her that her
band bad buried a large,pot of money in the 'church-
' yard ; that be
,knew. the. spot ; but that as another
persOn was concerned, some rnoney must be ad-,
Vanced. Three guineas were paid them by the
credulous old'Lady, and two 'guineas more on the
Monday evening, when the party went to dig for
the precious deposit; it WAS soon found in a pot
such as honey is usually put in, and appeared to
weigh about seven pounds. On turning it up, the
coin chinked in it, to the Lady'S great delight '; but
'on her getting it home and breaking it open, about
twenty new .halfpence were foond in it, the rest
was only mould. Her disappointment-and mortiti-.
Cation are easier conceived than described.

This was an action brought by the Mamba, tl
recover dainag-es from. the Delentlanc for the non
performance pf all agreement: • ,
Serjeant SHUN-MUD, on the part of the Plaintiff:
regretted that his client, who was an
thought honest
.draper, had ever ought of enterirT Ho any othe lint J
trade. 111 the present instcnce;CirCUW",Liinces com.
polled him. A person beinz Lk (I,,btor for.alurf,
sum of money, and.being unaLle yin taA,,
sent him a cargo of Cheshire eneeses; the=ie he had
removed from the shin: which broci;lit then: here,
and placed in his
,celhir. The pres,th, Defendant
came there, and, attar c.,.;z:rouning thLin, *reed to
pitrchase a certain tpfinti:y at •cit;lity ,:itiLing,s per

to the.shop, and from thcnce to the cart Nvl..c.h thtt
Defendant had sent. When they wore cOnyevd
to
the Defendant'S shop, he tasted s.,:t,n'al Of ihern,
and then:said that he v.',uld not take th.n.n, a,..; they
had been repiOved fro!n t!le cellar .aitin4i htif an
how- before his cart V6S at the Plaintiff'S Cla3r anti
also because they had- not been prolterl;"r sort e
The cheeseS were immediately sent back to the
Plaintiff, who having lost many opportunities. Of
disposing of them, as they were,, in tact, wild to Ow*
Defendant,' commenced. this action to recover Ufa
value of them in damages, and the Learned Ser4
jeant concluded by saying, he had no dnuitt, when
the evidenee was heard. that the vco.liet
were
be
given in his cs
„favour. Several wituses were then
called, who proved the contract, and that the cheese
were only removed froM the cellar about half ad
hour before the Dektnciant's cart. came.
Serjeant Cocm.t,,on the part of the Defendant,
addressed' tie Jury at considerable length, stating
that these cheeses were in a Nery tender state,-from
being on shipboard, and that, on ccoritit of their
being SQ soft, it was necessary' that the Inmost care
should be taken of them mprevent their cracking at
,the sides, and, in a short time becoming, in taCt,
o
not worth lie penny a-pound. This care, Jie: would
prove:, was not taken 01 them, th(+il.!;11 his Client
charged the Plaintiff not to 11100ve then)) from the
cellar tuna ha sent pf::rson that hpc..v how to treat
cheeses in that state. He accordingly sent his man;
but,' before he arrived, the cheeses were all piled in
the shop, eight,,or, ten in a, heap. re concluded by
saying,
.that be vault! insfetnny et ease,
by calling seVeral person:; to. the.theesd
trade, who Would. prove that ih.lf an hour in
rho!. way would :ruin a::y in the No,i;or.kt. that
had hecn just taken f..(Ar) o!: board Ship, and that it
did .!estroy the cheese in (p.hsstirt.
respeaahle Cheesentongers were then called,
who all declared that if soft cheenes %tiara piled
se en or eight high fo'r half an hour, -some, thcin,
most probably, would
.erackat the 'sides,tlitat
-the fl;, would get in and: destroy them ih the cornea,
of a very short tittle. It was also proved that several
of these cheeses were cracked. But ou ceos3,exa_
initiation, the witnesses acknolf..ledg,ed 'that removing
them into the cart was.likely to have the same effect;,
Sir :CANES MANSFIELD eb4erved 01. i the evietlee,

Severnl impositions have recently been pra6tise,l
on different patriotic institutiQns, by women who pre-
tended to have been the wk es or relatives of per-
sons.killed or wounded in the slvice of their Coon,
try. This imposition, was carried on with hn-
punity At one of these Institutions, until n feW days
since, when it was discovered that the hand-
writing of a marriage-certificate produced by a
claimant corresponded with that of other certificates
by which sums of money bait been paid. On the
forgery being detealed, the woman was taken into
custody, but she persisted in her claim before the

• " SIR, 7- Ha v ing read in The Evroteem Altathti, for the
-month of tune •last, a-Letter respecting' my having - re-
fused to let my Son perform for the Theatrical hinds,
take leave to make a few coillnenle thereon. Although the
engagements I was under rendered it impossible, without in-
uffing a heavy •penatty,, for my .Son to play last 4osini, it
was well known it was his wish, and my full intention, he
should this season pertOrm tin that r excellent Institution. If
the reports circulated with sci much industry have been kept
up with a view to irritate., antlituluve me to refine any assent
to- my Sufi's in:HO/Ming tor the Charity alluded to,
,until
some apology he made -for: such Malignant aspersions, the
Author will be disappointed of his- aitiL The best answer to
suchattempts..to degrade ine, and injure my .Son in the esti..

.that my Sun will perform for the jointtcnefitof the decayed.

PDX HUNT.

GRANTHAM, Dec. ie.—L.-On
.Tuesday last His
• GrSCO ' the Duke. of IttrrLANß!s, hounds met at a
covert in. the vale-of Belvoir ; there was present a
very numerous field of the hardest riders belbnging
to the hunts of that .neiglibeurhood. The. hounds
found at the first covert they tried, and went away
close at his brush, over the finest part of the vale.
They ran, • without intermission, for three hours,
and were whipped oil at the great Woodlands beyond
the berth road, late in the evening; the ibx being.
but a short distance before them, and the hounds on
excellent terms;. but as the huntsman and whippers-
in had been tired for several miles, the few people
present thought it more prudent .than running the.
risque of the hoUnds being left out all night.
~ft. is
supposed the distance they, ,ran was full 35 miles.r
and 20 as the crow flies. The wiy people at the
end were, Mr. FORIII4STSR, and lair. CRAVEN, ;nd
. another Gentleman, whose name we are unacquainted
with, also two farmers.

Saturday the Serpentine River being frozen over,
was crowded with skaiters. Lord FL -PeTTr, Lord
A. HAstit.Toti, Mr. T. SHERIDAN, and Lord AUCK-
, LAND'S Sons, were, most distinguished by their grace
and agility.—St. Janieies Park was much crowded on
like oceasion—about twelve o'clock three Ladies,
dressed in scarlet pellices, appeared on the ice, tied
excited general admiration by the ease and gracetbl-
ne.ss of their movements. Loid CitAVI:N; Sir F.
RSYNOLOS, CO). RAMSBY, &e: Vt.ete likewise among
the skaiters. One Gentleman got a sevsre ducking
by approaching too near die hole inadialiar the swans.
On Friflay night a fire broke out at a Public--
, house, the sign of the Grotto, in the Borough, which
burnt dawn that and an adjoining hotse.

This Sentence, after pronouneincr an honourable
acquittal from all the charges wliicll. had been pre-
ferred against tile Colonel of the East London Mi-
litia, proceeds to 'the following ,severe antinadver-
sions on the conduka of other Officets of that Regi-
ment :

" The Court cannot, forbear to express. that it
would have hrtd satisfaetion in discovering that the'
motives of the Proseeutor, Capt. Ayres, in preferring
the .charges .against his Colonel, had had for their ob-
. jea the ends of public justice, or the good of the
service ; but it is with regret the Court has found
that most of, the Charges are .unfOunded in 66,
vexation's, scandalous, and malicious, and arising
from private pique and party resentment ; and the
Court cannot 'too strongly censure the .condu& of
Capt. Ayres, having suffered accusations to lie
dormant, and to accumulate, and afterwards, at 'a
distant day, bringing themlOrward.
" Neither can the Court -pass over without ani-
madverting on the condu& of Lieut.-Colonel Jen-
nings, and Major Wilson, whose rank in the Regi-
ment should have led • them to have exerted their
best endeavourstowards healing and conciliating any
party aniMosities which might have made their ap-
pearance ; whereas, on the contrary, the Court has,
with concern, perceived that instead of their exer-
cisingthe authority which attaches to their-rank in
those endeavours, they have not only been totally
indifferent as to the evil consequences which might
arise, but have thereby contributed to the dissen-
tions which haie prevailed in the Regirnent 4. and
the .Court cannot hut, observe that party spirit has
even appeared to .operate upon their minds in the
evidence they have, given before this Court. •
" The Court are sorry tahave occasion thrther to
observe, in. the strongest terms, upon the condu& of
Mr. Tupper, the .Surgeon, who has not only been
the author of some, of, the unfoUnded charges
brought. against his Colonel, but who has appeared
to the Court, during the wholeof these proceedings, -
in the most culpable and- reprehensible light, parti-
cularly in respea to the first article of,the second •
charge, relative to • Francis Miley ; and that he
has endeavoured to fix upon his Colonel the respon-
sillility which attached to himself.

" The. Court cannot but remark Upon the indeli-
cate and unbecoming situation. in which Capt. Wel.
her, the Adjutant of the Regiment, has placed•him-
self, by assisting Capt. Ayres, during the ,whole'of
the trial, in the prosecution against his Colonel upon
so many unfounded charges." .
His Afajesty :has bpen pleased to approve' this
Sentence, and in 'consequence of the above repre-
sentations against Jenttngs, Major
Wilion, Captains Ayres and. Walker, and Mr.,
Tupper, has direEt ed that the 'above Officers be, dis-
placed from the Regincnt.

On Saturday, at Queen-square, an apprentice
who bad inlisted in the Army for .general service,
and sworn himself-not. to be an apprentices was ex-
amined again. It is, by a late ACt, made a trans-
portable offence, both for the seducer and- the se-
duced ; the former is • not in .custody, and .the ap-
prentice was reirianded..

On Saturday a 11 or who had eloped from the Phi-`
Lint hropic` Society, was taken to IYaittort-Garden

count of his youth, he was,ordered back to the bene:
volcnt Asylum from,which Ile had inconsiderately'
fled.

On Saturday another examination took place at
'MarlboroUgh-street on the subjeet44,„„illegal insur-
ances. • A person of the name of Stanley having.
been conVieted it, this Office, on Tinirsday, for tak-H
ing illegal insurances, in the Little-qO Lettery,, Julia
Burke, who laid the information against him, under-
took to bring others Of his accomplices to Justice..•
Three Officers were 'dispatched on Friday with the
• Prosecutrii to apprehend a person of the name. of
Chunky, and his wife; and "after hiving obtained
some information of his residence, which' was in
Portland-street,, front the wife of 'Stanley; the re-
paired thither, and secured them. Books containing
the insurances, and' blanka and Prizes, were found in
• Chanley's hoitSe. The Prosecutrix stated, that
Chauley and his WitikWere With Stanley when he
engaged to introduce her tb the drawing; but after
following them several hours, she was left et.a
lie house at Knightsbridge, and saw no More of
them. She proved having insured tcitambers. with
Chanley and his wife, and theyoitre• convi6ted.
The Magistrate, however, dischamed the wife, she
having e6ted under the influence of her husband.--
Chanley was Ordered to be imprisoned. three months.
