On Ni onda evening, about half past 7 o'clock,
as two Gentlemen who had been taking 'a walk,
were returning from Salisbury, Craigs, they ob_

Saturday the owner of one of_ the Margate Hoys
summoned a tradesman in the. City for xl 4 rile , p-
ts_
sage fare from that pinc4 r'esflrc to L'tn_
don, for, himself and two ft iends. The Gentleman
insisted on having paid the passage Toney for him-
self and friends in the general colleaion, and ac:-
oused-the owner of a wish to,defraud him. This.
accusation
,was rebutted in very strong language,.
which had neatly terminated in blows, had not the'
Commissioners interposed their authority. The
Master of the Hoy then called one of his men, who
suited, that the Gentleman and his friends were ex-
ceedirglv intoxicated a short time after corning, on
board, and had publicly said they could only mus_
ter three shillings and two pence amongst them,
having .stopped till all the rest- of their cash was ex-
pended. They had also thro'wn the odd two-pence
overboard, each taking, a shilling, observing, that

the above Gentlemen had given his address,, saying
he would pay for all three, if the master would send
his boy the next day. The witness added, that, he
went as.jesired, and though, he saw the three Gentle-
men behind the counter, weighing tea, they had all
refused to' pay, observing they had paid Their pas-•

w(zurd let the matter stand over till. Wednesday
next, he would prove to them that the three Gentle-
men had left a score at the inrt where they resided
at Airgate, and prove beyond a doubt that they
toted not have paid, for the best of all reasons,
that of not hawing- the means. This 'was consented
to by the C ,mmissioners, and the Gentleman re-
tired, .observing that he.clid not care afig for any

that the Master_wou'd get himself into a Prime t mess-,

The revenue of . Fort Sr. George, (vt4dras) by
the estimate for the 'year ended sth January, rBdi,
at Bs. the pagoda, is. 327.3001: In this the sub-;
sidy from the Nizatn is 946,000 pagodas ; hut, by
the new treaty of 06tober last, he commuted .the
Old subsidy For his share Of the territories ceded by,
and conquered from the Sultan of. Mysore in 1792
and 1799, the revenues of which, by the accounts

iliscov-eeed at Seri-gapatarn, are 1,792,000 pakodas.
l'he cessions of 1792 are thonelt to be overrated
in those accounts ; but the revenues of the 'coun-
tries conquered in 1799, are su,lposed to be under-

valued ; and the Company's s'lare, which. was to
the same amount, has produced double the e3tithate.
The difference between the old subsidyr and the
revenue 3 of the countries ceded by the'.Nizam,
may therefore be added, being 346,000 pagodas,
or 338,0001. •

_ On WednesdJi‘y last a sailor on board a vessel in

necessary to amputate the arrn,-as it was much shat..
tered. It'is hoped, he will recover.
