NORTHAMPTOti, MARCH 6.

At obr Assizes; on Tuesday, a cause was tried,
Of great importance to the Public.; wherein Mr.
Thomas Firkins, Farmer and Grazier, of Eastcotel,
in this County, was Plaintiff, and Mr. William
Watkins, Merchant, of Bedford, Defendant.—The
Aaiun was brought to recover the sum of 351. 19s.
Bd. being the balance due to the Plaintiff for some
vetches and pease sold by him to Jonathan Tebbutt,
the Defendant's Agent, at Blisworth, and deliver-
ed at the warehouses there, after deduaing
,the price
of a load of coals, received in return. The Defend-
ant resisted this' demand, and attempted to prove
that Tebbkitt. was his Agent for one purpose, but
not for another ; and as such, that he was not lia-
ble. It appeared,. however, that, on Tebbutt's:
absconding, the Defendant himself Came to 131i5.;
worth, ordered the warehouses to be locked up, and,
the property to be taken care of, and afterwards
hired teams, and caused all the Corn (anongsiwhich
part of the vetches_and pease, ,as,well. as 'the Plain-
tiff's sacks)' to be conveyed to hisOWii house, at Bed-
ford.—The Jury, therefore;. gave a verdia for the
Plaintiff for his 1:0i-ole demand, andcosts of suit.

Yesterday' se'nnight a French Gentleman, named,
Vie gr. Deville,)anded at 'East.. Bourne, from an
open Boat, in which he had alone worked his pas-
sage, in twenty. hours, ;from Dieppe,.and in his,
adventure,, no doubt, .encountered :much •difficulty,:
if not 'danger.; but under what inhence or neces-.
sity, we are. unable to say.. :However, having no
.Passport; he Was soon after:landing-taken into cus-:
tody, and the same,evening brought, ,to, the White
Hart, in this Town,- where, observing,a small tri-
'coloured cockade, which his, bat exhibited, much
artraled the eye of the-sped?ttors, and fancying•it.
might be offensiye, he,secretly removed theirepub-
lican badge, .and dropped it-intbe room. By order
of Henry.ShelleY,.. before ,whom he wq:taken,'
he was,the,next morning
,escorted
.to London, by!
Mr. Farmer, one of the Peace,Othcers.belonging to'
this Borough, who on Tpesday-7took him- to the
Alien-Office, where., after undergoing a long exa-
mination, he was suffered tddepart on his parole.
The young wheats throughout 'this County look
as promising as they were ever known to do at this
season.of the year:;.ancl,the ground is getting in
fine wdrking state for the reception of Lent corn.
On Tuesday list the officiating. Clergyman, .at
Lindfield, agreeably to the irecity.'st. of a yoUng coo-.
'ple-whose banns had bee 3 regularly published on the
three preceding Sundays, repaired to the Parish.
ChUrch at that place, for the purpose of placing
about them the indissoluble- Marriage bond. The
Rev. Gentleman found the girl 'and her female at-
tendants ready at the Altar, but,.ifter waiting up-
wards of an hour, no bridegroom appedred ; nor:
-could any tidings, on inquiry, be heard of him,
except that he left his home about the approach of
the first canonical hour. The Clergyman, and the.
female bevy were consequently obliged to retire
• without. their errand !

DUBLIN, MARCH 4.

TtIESDAY evening, between four and five .
the High Sheriffs, MessrS. KING, and. CRAVEN,
went, upon information, to search a public:house at
the corner of Britain street, in Capel-street,.where
it was ,represented. a combination of journeymen,
tradesmen frequently met, •to form and plan illicit
regulations to Impose upon their .employers and the
Public.-:—According to the information, they dis- •
covered in a room of the house a *chest, with three
locks, which they forced open, and found therein a
book, which appeared to belong to a combination:
of Journeymen Glaziers and Painters,' in which
were entered several resolutions , for - supporting
their illegal proCeedings, and .an .account of the
money Subscribed for the purpose by several of the
same trade, and stating 'dues of others who had not
been punaual in their contribution. There were.
also found in the chest, as their fund, a five guinea
note, one for a guinea and a half, and some silver,';
and also an account of arsum-of money which had
been paid .to support, Journeymen Sawyers upon a
recent turn-Out, ' ,

The owner of the house it seems, was unat-
quainted With their transaaions, 'they having .told
him that they were what they termed a Mortality
Society, wl o met for the purpose of subscribing
to provide persons of their trade who died,, with
decent funerals.—The chest, with the' book, and
all the
.papers were taken away by the High She-
riffs, who deserve the thanks of the Public for their
vigilance and aaivity on this occasion. Combi-
nation in the same way we are informed is carrying
on in other places ; there is at this time: a turn- out
among other working tradesmen, who are receiving
support from such modes of contribution, and we
have no doubt the above alive Magistrates will
exert themselves to defeat such injurious schemes
of combination.
,A list of names to the number of
ninety; was found, of those who belonged,and. sub-
scribed to the illegal meeting.
