Accounts from Ramghur, of the 4th of August,
state, that. a very powerful body of these people
had made an incursion into that neighbourhood
where the convicts were eMplOyed in. clearing the
jungles and repairing the public roads : they brought
With them :fire-arms, pikes, &c. to arm the con-
yids, having previotisly agreed to set them free,
and associate them in their intended plunder of the
distria.

The Seim guard made a gallant but inefreetual:
resistance, most of them being either killed or
wounded; when the convicts, with their deliverers,
retired into the Hill Country.

From. their fastnesses they have made numerous
excursions into the adjacent country, depopulating
villages, and destroying such yroperty as they are
unable toremoye.The &limiting and extensive
town at Aurungbaad, which in 179'9 was destroyed
by Jvooo DEp and his adherents, -having been re-
built and re.:peop)ed, and numerous extensive gra_
naries
,eitablished There, has been again• plundered,
and reduced tä ashes by the DeColts.

The leader of, this banditti is a man of distin-
guished talent, who formerl3‘ held. high tarilc:in
•the army of the late Nabob of the Carnatic,- but.
in consequenee of some Offence committed against
the English, he threW up his situation the better
to indulge his revenge. He appears to have fo-
mented the troubles the Southern districts, by
the dispersion Of sedition's letters, eic. and his pre-
sent insurreCtiOn, which, is'secretly encouraged by
many of the friends of the late. Nabob, is.in close
concert with the Poligars.

Another insurreftion, which at first wore a seri-
ous aspea, broke out. about the end of July, in the
distrias between the Ganges and Goomty, in con.-
..sequence of the Nawab's hiving made some re_
sulations, disloleasing to the people, and of which
some disaffected persons. t'f,ok advantage to excite
them to rebellion. We :6in, howeve'r, ac-
emits from. Purtoobghauz, that'. the Foarth Regi-
ment, the Native Cavalry, and .the Second Regi-
ment of Sepoys, having. been ordered to march
against the insurgents, many_ of then) had dispersed,
and .the country was gradually regaining tran.

' EFFECTS OF THE STORM.---A letter from Liver-
pool, dated on Thursday, says—" Since one o'clock
this marairib',,, it has blown the . most tremendous
gle. ever known here ; several vessels are driven
on' shore, and others sunk."
At Manchester, on Thursday, the storm of wind
and rain .exceeded any similar visitation ever re-
membered ;: several houses were blown down, and, ,
we lament to say, that four persons were crushed!
to death:by the falling of-one of the numerous stacks,
of chiinnies razed by the hurricane.
Ar Sudbury; Ipswich; and their neighbourhood,.
several houses were unroofed by the wind on Thurs-
day night, and several chimnies blown down. . A
mill at .Ballingdon.was nearly broken to pieces.
At Norwich, on Thursday, the streets were
strewed with the fragments of chimnies, roofs, &c.
and in the neighbourhood, several large trees were
blown down; and a pear-tree, belonging to Mr.
Gurney, in Magdalen-street, was torn to atoms.
Other damage was- &One the amount of one
thousand pounds. '.
At :Horstead a large tree was torn up by the
roots, and falling on an old woman,
named Hobbs,
killed her instantly..

At -the late Quarter Sessions for Norwich, the
Court was moved to quash, an order of bastardy,
which had been made on an opulent farmer in that
county. From the evidence of the mother, it ap_
pears she kid been a servant t 6 the farmer (who has
a wife and several children) ; that she' had: been
seduced'by him, •and that on her being obliged by
her pregnancy to quit her service, she had been in-,
duced by his promise and entreaties to swear the
child to another person, for which purpose he took
her to a Magistrate. After the child, had been
sworn, the farmer placed the mother at a midwifes.
at Norwich, where he paid her board and lodging,
.and supplied her with cash ; he then prevailed
on her. to got() Wisbech to stay a couple of months,
in order that. the child's age might • be misrepre-
sented to the' person to whOm it was sworn.
-The mother, shocked at the enormity of the crime
she had been induced to commit, • went to the
Magistrate, and"statcd the fads to him : under his
diredion,, the
_child was re-sworn at Norwich
against the farmer, and an order issued-on him to
pay for its---support. Several attempts were made
by the farmer to invalidate the testimony produced
against him, but the Court contirm-ed the order.

A-fever ofa malignant nature has raged for some
time at Langford; in Bedfordshire. The Magi-
strates called in the assistance of Physicians, and
converted a barn into a temporary infirmary for the
reception of the sick, which has fortunately check-
ed -the progress of the disorder.
At Liverpool; last week, the cloatlis- of a fine
child about two years old, unhappily. caught fire,
while it was atone in a room only for a few minutes.
The poor infant was so miserably burned that*
surltived only two days. And 'on Wednesday even:.
ing, in Temple-lane, the cloaths of another child,
of about five years old, caught fire while its mother
was absent ; its cries soon brought the neighbours,
but it was so dreadfully burned, that it died in
about an hour after, irhexcruciating pain.

• A poor man was found dead on Thursday morn-
ing in the kiln-hole of a malting house at Barnwell,
Cambridgeshire, where it is supposed he crept the
preceding night for warmth, and was suffocated.
Mr. Rogers, an eminent Farmer and Grazier,
was last week found frozen to death in Nottingham
Forest.
