N. CortAxr and j. SCOTT, Esqrs. of having entered
into an illegal combination to Focure a very exor-
bitant advance of wages. After an investigation of
upwards of hours, it appeared that general
and an alarmi:}l)i combination existed amongst the
Journeymen Boot and Shoemakers in the Metro-
nolis in which the Defendants had taken an
part, and which the. Magistrates were of opinion
had been very properly resisted, one of. the . De-
fendants having frequently earned from two Guineas
to two• Guineas and a Half per week. 'The Magi-
strates censured the : conduct of the Defendants, it
being such as, if persisted 41, Must bring inevirdble
destrnetion upon their( and every workman in the
trade. The Defemiants were sentenced to two
months imprisonment in the House-ofCorieCtion. •
Two fires took place at Worcester during the last
week, in consequence of the carelessness of servants.'
It may probably induce increased Caution on the

part of persons. of thi;'tiescripcion to be told, that,
roby an Aft of the sixth of Queen Ann, chap. 31,
and joy another of the i4.th Geo. 111. chap. 78,
" If any Servant, by carelessness, or negligence,
shall fire, or cause to be fired, any dwelling-house,
or out-house, or houses, and he convicted on- the
oath of-one witness,-hefore two Justices, shall forfeit
tool, to the Churchwardens of the parish Where the
fire shall happen, to be distributed by them to the
sufferers, in such proportions as to them shall seem
just; and if the same be not immediately paid on
demand to the Churchwardens, the said Justices
shall commit the offender to some WorkhoUse, or
House of Correction, for eighteen months, there to
be kept to hard lab iur."

The reprehensible .pradiee of leaving fire-arms
loaded, and the still more reprehensible one of wan-
tonly presenting them, and pulling the trigger,
without previously ascertaining that they are not
loaded, has recently occasioned many a melancholy
catastrophe, but none more distressing than the fol-
lowing :—Mr. Macklin, of Milstone, impru,
dently left a loaded gun in the ,ftfoni where his fa-'
mi:y was; Mrs. Macklin, conctling that he had of
course drawn the charge, incautiously tiook up the
gun,,, and in short, pointed it at her son, a youth
of thirteen years of age, Who was sitting on the same
chair with his sister. Site snappal the lock repeat-
edly, and at last the piece went tf, e, and lodged the
contents in. his body. The Unfortunate boy expired
in about three hours after. The girl was not burt.

The following Letter was alually written by an
Usher of a School, as a model for a young Gentle-
man, to inform his Parents that he should be home
