The sheep fair, at St. Columb, on Thursday lace,
was larger than it has been for some years past.
Ablut 900 sheep sold at .good prices. Bullocks
went off pretty briskly, at rather advanced prices.
Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock, a young
woman, fashionably dressed, who appeared as if she
had not been in bed the preceding night, threw
herself into the Bacon in the. Green but
was immediately taken out by some Gentlemen
who saw her plunge in. It being soon ascertained
that she was a fills de joie, who had committed
the rash aft from inebriety, the interest which was
at first felt in her behalf, soon became so tar dimi.
nished, that it was deemed sufficient to put her intti
a Hackney.coach, and pay the coachman fot taking
proper care of her, and conveying her to her apart.

Yesterday at noon an Inquisition was taken be. '
fore Thos. Shia LTON, Esq. Coroner for the City of
London, on the body of Mr. SH a a wooD, who died ,
suddenly in a fit the preceding day. It appeared
in evidence that the deceased was a Partner in the
house of GI% It F. NIID I and Sits R WOOD, Corn Fatlors,
at No. 26, Mark-lane ; that on, Wednesday morn.
ing be went from his own house into the new Corn
and Sced Exchange, . which is nearly opposite: the
old one, and that just about ten o'clock, while he
was employed in transaaing business, he dropped
down in a fit; a momentary confusion arose from
the crowd, but he was soon removed to his own
house, not more than fifty yards distance, where
every medical aid , was administered in vain, the
vital epatk was wholly extinguished beyond the
power of resuscitation. Vet-ilia—Died by the Vi.
sitation of God.
On iriday st'onight a fire broke out at the
workshop.of Mr. Lloyd, chandler, in Dudley, Lan.
cashire, when the Volunteer Corps were immedi-
ately assembled, forming a permanent guard to the
rescued property. The workshop being close to a
warehouse full of grocery goods belonging to Mr.
Gardner, in iiigh-strect,and the flames last ascend.
ing towards a room where a parcel of gunpowder
Was kept for sale, several of the Corps voluntarily
risked their lives, rushed into the place, and
brought away the whole of it, thereby relieving the
neighbours from a state of alarming and dreadful
apprehension, The fire was afterwards, by the
ready assistance of the, neighbouring inhabitants,
extinguished without doing any very considerable
damage. It is said to have been occasioned by some
tallow boiling over a furnace.
The inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Berwick-
upon-Tweed have lately been much annoyed in
their persons and property by a set of depredators
in sailors' jackets. On Wednesday sennight, as a
person belonging to Ey tinOUth Was returning from
Berwick, where he had been receiving the allow-
ance of a Benefit Society, on the death of his wife,
he was attacked about half a mile from town by
two men in the above dress, who robbed him of
21. Ss. In gash, together with a cake and some other
articles he had provided for the funeral. A few
evenings before, a farmer who bid been receiving
a large sum of money at Berwick, was, on his re-
turn, robbed near Spital, and cruelly beaten, ,by
two men in a similar dress. The.principal part of
his property was, however, so cirefully concealed,
that they did not discover it. The office' of Mr.
Toot), Ship.huilder, in Taeedrnouth, was lately
broken into, but the plunder was trifling, there
being nothing of consequence kept therein. S:veral
other depredations have also lately been committed,
to the great injury of the industrious and peaceable
inhabitants of that place.
A millwright in Perth lately ereeled a thrash-
ing-mill for a .I.lrmer at Balmyre, construAed to be
worked by six horses, and capable of thrashing t s
bolls an hour, yet so nicely adjusted that a man
won a best by turning it six times with his little
finger.
Coation to Cartm.—As the cart of Mr, Crowder
was coining from Yorkshire, over a place on the
Ripponden road, called Booth Dean, the driver be.
jog asleep on the top of the loading, the horses tut:-
ed out of the road, by which the cart was unfor.
tunately overturned, and the unhappy into smothered
beneath the loading.

LAW ROORt.

COURT OF KING's BENCI-t, Nov.

THE KING V. F. T. tHAMPNESS.
This person is an Attorney, acid was lately lit
partnership with James William Silk, his brothei-
in-law, residing in Hatton.Garden. It appeared,
that many disputes had arisen on the adjustMent
of the accounts soon after the dissolution of the
partnership, in :803, in consegunee of which
the Defendant had been under considerable itrita.
lion of mind. Mr. Silk was the PrOsecutor. It
seems he was walking with Miss Elila Blanche, in
GYoy's.lnn.lane, on the 16th December, and he
met the Mfetulant, who no sooner bad passed,
than he itirtied round upon low, and exclaimed—r
" You are a d—d thief, a d------d rascal, and I
will knock you down."
Mr. Silk thought it unnecessary to rake notice
of this coarse address, and his passive coodukft in-
creased the rage of the a:fend:int. tinder this
violent disposition, he went into an adj 'join shopi,
and immediately wrote the full twing letter, which
he. sent to the house of Mr. Silk ;
" You arc a d —(1 cheating scounnrcl. I wish I had been
aware of your insolence, I would have made the teeth chat.--
ter in your lie;4l But, you cowardly rascal, you thought
the p r esm c c of a petticoat WOUIst protect you. The next time
1 meet you I will see if you have the spirit of a til3ll, and
1 will tight yen in any way you pleax. I will publish yout
disgrace every where, althoup, indeed, your charade/ is sttt
ticiently kuown."
The charge was for writing this libel, with the
view to provoke the Prosecutor to send a Challenge ;
and the Defendant had suffered judgment to gti by
default.
An affidavit was produced, signed by Mr.ChaMF
ness, in which he swore, to the iniutioth cooduct
~,f
his Lrother-in-law, and asserted, that EitAi &Incur,
with whoM the latter was in company to Gray's..
Inn-lane, was a disreputable person, with whom ha
cohabited.
Mr. RVADER addressed the Court on heh4li. A
the Prosecution ; and
Mr. ERSKINE in mitigation, He said it was anon..
fortunate quarrel between two yotingpa4rsons neAliy
allied ; and perhaps the justice.of the case would be
fully answered if it should he referred, tolrbitra_
dun, whether his Client should pay the costs of these
proceedings. . .
Lord ELLE'.II3O.ItOLIGII.---'r The terms of the,
letter are very vulgar and abusive, and much inure.
degrade the writer than the pers,n to whotn they
are diretflid. . They shew him to be very unlit to
continue *in Attorney its the Court ; a situation
which requires good faith and discretion. There is
nothing like a satisfadory apology; the least that
Ihe can do is, to go before the Master, and make
compensation."
