the world, has been gradually declining, until now
it is completely extinet.
Sunday last, as Mr. Horne, of the Royal Oak,
Woodbridge,. was riding to Ramsholt, he heard a
shriek from some persons apparently in great distress;
he immediately rode forward to the place from
whence he thought the noise proceeded, and fortu.
timely discovered the cause, which was a woman
and child on board a vessel, the William and Tho.
Iflail T. READ master, of 'Woodbridge, laden with
coals, lying near Ramsholt dock, which had caught
fire in .the cabin, and was burning furiously. The
crew were gone ashore to refresh themselves, after
a tedious voyage, leaving all safe, as they imagined.
Mr. H. gave the, alarm, and, with assistance, the
woman and child were rescued from the periloue
situation, and the fire extinguished, but.not without
doing considerable injury.

• The Commander in chief has great satisfaction
ire publishing to the Army his high sense of Lieute.
Oant.Colonel Dow, and -the Detachment gruployed
under his command in the reduction of the strung
Fort of Raampoora.
The judgment and skill with which the attack
Was planned, and the gallantry with which the as.
sault was led by Lieutenant.Cclonel Dow in person,
refleas, the highest credit on the abilities, courage,
arid professional knowledge of that meritorious
Officer.

The uncommon precision and bravery with which
the several
,European Divisions were condoned by
the European Officers, the steadiness, coolness, and
intrepidity which was manifested by the native Offi-
Cers and, Seapoys engaged in ,the assault, could not
hive been surpassed by any Corps.
The ability which Serjeant O'LouctiLati dis.
played in blowing open the gates, and the beha.
vi our of the Artiderymen and Lascars attached to the
leading gun, is deserving of the greatest praise and
commendation.
• The able and gallant manner in which 'Major
DOVETON carried into effect the instructions of
Liettenant.Colonel DON, by cutting to pieces the
large body of the Enemy encamped outside the Fort,
is most creditable to the Major, to the Officers, and
men of the 3d Regiment.of Native Cavalry, whose
behaviour,. as On every occasion, justly merit his
Excellency's fullest approbation.
His Excellency has noticed, with particular plea-
sure, the cordial and anive co.operation of Capt.
WOOO,-of the Engineers, and of Captain RAB AN,
of the Artillety, of whose merits,..zeal, and desire to
forward the public service Lieutenant.Coloriel „DoN
has afforded the most ample and gratifying testi.
Loony.
The behaviour of Lieutenant HAY, and the whole
of the Artillery, has been such as has ever distin.
guished this valuable Corps.
The Commander in Chief begs Lieutenant. Colo.•
nel DON to accept his cordial thanks for the impor.
tang. services he has rendered to Government by the
promptitude and decision with whichlte undertook,,
and the skill and gallantry by which he effeded the
reduttion of Raampoorai
Hu Excellency desires Lieutenant. Colonel DON
to communicate his entire approbation and best
thanks to the Officers-and tnen'of the Flank Com.
panics, andi or Battalion Companies of the 2il Bat.
talion' Bth Regiment, and Flank Companies of the

the 3d Regiment of Native Cavalry ; to Captain
RABAN, and Officers and men of the Artillery ; and
Captain WOOD, of the Engineers, for their gallant
and meritorious services at the Capture 'of Kaam-
poora.
His Excellency is happy to find the expeaations
which he formed of the ztst Regiment, from the on.
common attention bestowed on its formation by
Maio WADE, have not been disappointed ; and
although so lately embodied, in its first essay it
has shewn a steadiness and courage which would
have done honour to a ,veteran Corps, and has
successfully emulated the gallant example held out
by their fellow Soldiers of the second Battalion 3d
Regiment.
N. B. The above Fort and Territory dependent
on it, yielding a revenue of about four or five lacks
per annum, belongs to the Rajah of • joynaglitii.,
but had been nearly thirty years in the possession
of the flolkar family, who had wrested it from the

EXTRACT FROM THE BOMBAY ADVERTIFER.--,
" State Affairs requiring the presence of the
lustrious Chevalier De .Souza at this City, His
Excellency the Viceroy. of Goa was pleased to
dispense with his journey to the Seat of the supreme,.
Government, and granted a Deputation to invest
him with the Order of Christ ; the ceremony ac..
cordingly took place yesterday, at Parell, with
every requisite display of pageantry, illuminations,
fire.wOrks, discharge of cannon, and other demon.
stratioris of joy. An elegant entertainment was
given on this occasion, at which were present, the
Nabob Mendee Ali Khan, Aga Mahomed, the
Bishop, Clergy, and principal inhabitants of the
Catholic persuasion, and a great assemblage of na.
live beauty and fashion.
The above Ocder,. we are informed, was. con.
ferted on Signor Dc &ilia, by the Queen of Por.
fugal, for the great services rendered by him to
the Rcimish Church, in the suppression of schiam,
and conversion of 'Hindoos to Christianity, which
he was enabled to tiled by hia pious and exemplary
life, added to'his descent from and connexion with
many noble Hindoo •

Yesterday the frost being very severe, only large
craft could go through London Bridge, on account
of the great quantity of floating ice, which render.
ed it dangerous for boats. About twelve o'clock a
barge, with two men in it, in attempting to pass
under the bridge, ran foul of a large floating island
of ice, and in less than a quarter of an hour was so
completely surrounded, that all the endeavours of
the men on hoard to extricate her proved ineffeftual.
—ln that situation they were obliged to remain,
nearly dead with the cold, for tour or five hours, as
no boats from the shore could go to their assistance.
So strong was the ice yesterday on the River
Thames, that the persons who superintend the Lon.
don Bridge Water-work found ii necessary to have
their engine supplied with boiling hot water, to flay
upon the works, to prevent, them from freezing,
while men with, long poles were constantly employ.
ed in knocking off the lumps of ice from the works,
for the whole day.
Mrs; Puddefurd, of Retibourn, llerrs, was found
in her room on Saturday:morjng, speechless, which
was occasioned by her clothes hsving caught tire the

Capt. Bot.t.ocit's family, with their wonted huma-
nity, persuaded him not to venture across the sands
until morning; but, conceiving he could' not be
mistaken in. his way, would not 'be advised, and
yesterday morning the horse was taken up un the

HUNTING.

FALCONE R/S•HALL, FRIDAY, 110 V. 30.

THE day was uncommonly fine ; at eleven Lord
MIDDLETON and a number of Sportsmen arrived ;
at twelve the pen was thrown open, and boldly out
bounded the Royal Hart ; in twenty minutei the
steady hound Consul, and some other stag hounds
were laid on, and the beagles close to them ; he
took over Boythorpe Sheep Walk, Foxholes Field,
and turned for Grange, where the pock ran into
view,
.and continued so till they had crossed the
Sheep Walk, Mr. PRICKIT'S Plantations, and ran
into him behind some stacks' near Langtoft ; none
were at hand to assist him but the Colonel, who
had nearly blown his horse Esterhazy, as the ser.
vents had also done their's ; however, he cleared
himself from the pack, bounded over some high
rails and inclosures, and in this manner ran about a
mile further, when the hounds were headed and
stopped. In a few minutes Lord M. and the coin.
pany came up, pretty well blown. Mrs. Txuart.
TON, who had been obliged to change her horse,
was much mortified at being thrown out. She af-
terwards rode the sister to Hermione. The hounds
in twenty minutes were laid on, and ran haridsorne.
ly to some water where the Hart had cooled him.
self. The beagles now seemed to enjoy the scent ;
they ran smartly till they came to Coulam Rabbit
Warren, where the multiplicity of rabbits drew
them off from their game ; they were lifted and
ordered to draw round the Warren, and in about
half an hour they hit the Hart off, and ran very
hard towards Driffield ; he turned up some inch).
sores ; and, after a run of three hours and forty.
seven minutes, was taken unhurt at. Ganton. It
was computed; that this run was longer than that
withsthe Foxhounds, and affarded, on cite whole, a
better chace.

Lord MIDDIATON changed horses three times,
the Hon. J, PROSY tour times, and Mrs. Tr-toRN.
TON twice.

SATURDAX, DEC.

Several greyhound marches were run ; and finally
a sweepstakes, or trial of three, braces of grey.
hounds that had distinguished. themselves by win.
ning many marches. . The .hare was found on the
first 'part of the %Vol& ; and after a race of near
two miles, Col. T,'s Eliza gave ago.bye, kept ficr
place for near a mile, and threw up the hare. Such
a course was scarcely ever seen. Blud Eliza was
got by Sehimmelpenniock (by Major), out of Cat.
gut,s sister to Claret and Czarina: by this it ap.
pears, that Major's blond have not lost their well.

Yesterday Richard Taylor,,,yho was apPrthended
some time since at the White Bear Inn, in Basing.
hall.street, and whn has undergone several exami-
nations before the Loaf.) MAYOR, on. the charge of
having in his possession above forty-six pounds
weight of counterfeit halfpence tied up in different
bags,
.supposed to be intended for sale, was brought
up before the LORD MAYOR. The Officers who
took Taylor into custody said, the information they
hid received was, that he had just arrived from
Ireland with a quantity of counterfeit money to
circulate. The Prisoner said in his defence, he had
taken them in the way ()liminess ; and Mr. 'Ma.
R is, a Solicitor, who attended for him, told his
Lordship, there was no evidence of the'Prisoner's
selling any of this bad money, and he did not con.
ceive there was felony in` having counterfeit half-
pence in his possession, consequently claimed the
discharge of the Prisoner, and the restoraticm of his
property. His Lordship discharged him ; but Mr.
POWILL, the. Solicitor of the Mint, stated, that .
he had examined the money, and finding it counter-
kir, felt himself justified in detaining it,, as
vernment had received information that a large
quantity of counterfeit money had arrived in London
from Ireland ; and that if.an action was brought he
would defend it.

COURT OF CiIANCERY, LINCOLN's INN HALL-,
' 7 DECFMIIFR
BEFORE THE LORI► CHANCELLOR.

1+,106R8 /trip oTlifits v. FoNrFR AND ornEks.

The ATT'OTOYEY GENERAL stared, thtit this was
an inforrint ion filed at the relation of John Moore,
Clerk, and others, Parishioners of the Parish of Sr,
James, Clerkenwell, agsinst Newcombe anti Pullen,
Churchwardens, the Rev. Mr. Foster, the Bishop
of London, anti others; anti its ()bird was, thai
Mr. Foster might be restrained from aprlying to the
Bishop of London for licence to officiate as Curate
of the ReetoryofCletkenwell, and that an injundion
might issue to prevent the Bishop of London frlrd
granting such licence. The },resent suit Originated
in an eledion, which oak place in July last, for the
vacant curacy of Clerktnwell. Tire redory
ginally belonged to the monastery of Clerkenwell,
and upon the dissolution of the midnasteries it con..
tinned in the Crown till the 32d of Elizabeth, and
the Crown appointed a Curate, with an allowance of
41. 18s. 9,1. The title to the redory became vested
in a person of the name of Drake, who agreed to
dispose of it to the parish of Clerkenwell. The pur-
chase money was paid out of the parish rates, and a
conveyance was made of the redory to five Trustees
for the parish. Atter this, different vacancies of
the curacy had, been filled up by the parishioners,
who appointed the Curate by the mAjority of v"oices,,,,
In thepreienr instance, Mr. Foster, on t'zf the
Pendants, and Mr. Lenden, one.of the Relator, were
the Candidates. Previout to.the &ea:mu t,ite friemb.i
c each Candidate proposed certain ,regotatiuus, w
reference to which it was to be condoktied.; 4.t the
close of the poll there were 1047 votes for Lert,.,
den, and 1105 for Foster, making a majority, t,)1,,
58. in his favour. The Churchwardens declared him •
duly eleOed, and a scrutiny was deo-traded ; but, on
account of objections as to the legality of a Scentini;,-
it. Was not proceeded in. Flster was nominated
,bje
the Churchwardens, but a carueat was entered against
the Bishop's granting him a licence. The ortneipal
regulation on which the liledion was condothd was,.
that all persons assessed for the, year t So+, whether.
thty had paid rates or not, Were to be allowed to poll,

marked Poor." The AT rORNEY-GENCRAL argued
that this was an ilLsgal rzgtuatuln ;:and he contended:,
that none could loive a- nets' to vote who had not
only
.been aSse.sed, but had adudly paid the rates.:

His Lordship examined the whole of the case, but
expressed no, opinion tip;in the subj Fa. Hil ultimate •
decision he deterred till the twit of next month.
