RKLTIOL,

Ox Thursclay-se'nnight, .as Thomas Cox, Game.
keeper to Lord De Clifford, was returning home
from the Marsh, he fell into a deep ditch, from
which he vainly ende3VOUred to extricate himself ;
till at length his strength was so exhausted, that he
leaned against the bank,' where, unfortunately, he
because, by the severity Of the cold, benumbed, and
fell asleep, and was found by a farmer's servqnt,
the next morning, in a most deplorable htate,. ap.
parently lifeless • his limbs being rigidly stiff, and
his Aothes covered with milk which was frozen to
extreme hardness. The man, however, with the
assistance of two others, humanely carried him
home, whereliis clothes were obliged to .be cutoff,
and all hopes of recovery vanished ; but Mr. Punt.
Iley, Surgeon, of Henbury, being called in, unwea.
riedly 'arid steadily persevered in using the means
recommended by • the Humane Society, upwards of
two hours, when symptoms of returning animation
crowned his laudable exertions ;,and by proper care,
though thepoor man's faculties were not restored
until Sunday, nor the sense of feeling in his extre_
mities until Wednesday last, we are glad to state
that he is now in a fair way of perfel recovery,

In the night of the 19th ult. a fire broke out at.
Petersburg!), on the Wyburg side, in the great Poor
Hospital, which could not be got under till the
morning of the toth: A great part of the edifice
lies in ashes. Although every one was in profound
sleep when this conflagration begun, fortunately no
one perished on this occasion. His Ilvtr R AL MA
JESTY, with his brother the GRAND DUK,E CON-
STANTINE, attended on the spot 'the whole time,
and by their presence and example contributed to
hasten the extinguishing of the flames.

AUGUST Z 4.

This morning His Royal Highness the Pitt NCR
of WALEs took an airing in his sociable, which
he drove himself on the box, upon Cliff; Cli ; and
afterwards, accompanied by Mrs. FITZHERBERT,
wbo sat with him on the box, and Lady and Miss
HAcc ERSTONT, went to the Race Ground to view
some curious contests of speed, with which His Royal
Highness seemed highly diverted. The business
commenced with a ponty.race between some of the
Rat tits of the Sussex and Gloucester Regiments
eneampqi liete. Next succeeded a Contest in which
Capt. OTTo.-of the Sussex, booted, and mounted
by a Grenadier of at least eighteen stone weight,
was matched to run fifty yards against a poney
carrying a feather to run iso ; but Capt. Chico's
rider tumbled over his neck, which he was very
near cracking, and consequently he lost the heat.
The next match was the sitne,Gentleman, mounted
by the same Grenadier, to run co yards against
Lord EAROLEY, carrying a feather to run too, and
he was considerably distanced by the latter. Sir
CHAR!. E 5 BUNBURY,COIoneI GR MLLE, and many
other sporting amateurs were on the ground.
The whole of this 'morning it blew a stiff gale
from the soutll;mtv. with -a high swelling surf,
whiCh deterred most of our fair bathers from taking
their usual dip. But they were amused by the prac-
tice of the Sea Fencibles here, who were exercised
at the west battery at eleven, itnd fired four rounds
from four 32-pounders, at a small boat moored
for the purpose, about a mile from the battery,. out
at sea ; and out of sixteen shot, sir nearly hulled the
13 tat, though considerably tossed by the waves ; and
the *hot, touching the wa!rr a few yards short of
the mark, bounded again, and %%rent beyond nearly
&Ate the origlo.4 distance. from the gun.
A gun, during the praeVce, by order of •General
Lstirsox, was c o.sid•rahly elevated and discharged,
to ascertain ti It,, in case of 'necessity, it could
be made to throw a ch.: shot did not strike

the plan at present adopted i, Cruizing Squa.
(Irons, that 'are oftentimes driven from their sta-
tions by the shifting of the winds, and other .vicis.
situdes that ships are liable to at sea, and affords.a
favourable.bpportunity for the Enemy to creep on,
perceived out of port, and -in a few hours, with ti
leading gale, to- reach the `holes of Englatid, viz.
the Coasts of aorset, Hants,• Sussex, Kent, Essex,
Suffolk, and Norfolk.
TO obviate those dangers, I would *suggest a
Blockade of the whole of the l..isnemy's Coasts, from'
Prest to, -the Edie ; a proportionate strength of
Ships of Wart stationed at all the different .Ports'
and Harbours, efvfn 'hose capable of admitting Boats,
.thrre to remain at anchor, at a proper distance, and
to use every precaution to prevent surprize, 'in any
attempt being made to board, from the shore.
And, as .a further protenion, I should. compre_.
;Lend Floathrg Batterirsi ,rationed at all the inferior
Ports and Placei on the Coast of England, where
'tero may be 'the smallest praCticability the Enttny
could etfetl a disembarkation. They should vessels
of some magnitude, to draw little water,light rigged,
and capable of sailing at least with the wind as far
forward as the beam, equipped with a heavy gun or
two, and.carronades mounted on swivel stocks, and
fifes of musquetry supplied from the Disttift Ttoops
or, the station.
I woOld 'also propose these vessels (as they may be
compelled to follow. the Enemy towards the shore.)
to be fitted with bilge-ways, of a sufficient depth
to take the ground with ease, and enable them more
cffeaually to employ their force, to weaken .and

The Dinner, which consisted of every thing deli-
cious and seasonable, and which was indeed, a superb
repast, was conduled with all the order and de.
coruin that mark the entertainments given by the
Academy. A company of vocal performers, under
the direction of Mr. HARRISON, highly conto-
buted to the general entertainment ; and in the in.
tervals between every musical Performance many.
appropriate toasts were given. The Duke of
NORFOLK, in a very elegant, and well-turned
speech, complimented the Academy in a very hand-
some toast, accompanied by many judicious obser-
vations, tending to shew that the ARTS had, ar a for-
mer period, been fostered by the Society at the head
of which his Grace presides (the Society for the En.
couragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce),
but that the flourishing state of the Academy now
rendered that case less necessary. The French Am.
bassador having been given by the President as a
toast, as well as the ocher Foreign Ministers who
were present, Lord AUCKLAND, in the names of
those distinguished Foreigners, expressed their ac-
knowledgments in a very handsome manner, testi.
fying their !ugh sense of the polite attention which
had been shewn to them. The LORD MAYOR also
made a very elegant return for the coast in favour
of Ins Lordship and the City of London.

there being no pretenie that Mr. Kinnaird had not

there might have been a failure of justice'for want

i;ale altettd the sillterfent of tbe 'or these
reasons the Rule for a new Ttial WAS leruaed.
Mr. Justice LAWRENCE said it should not be
taken to be .admitted that this Witness was inyro.
nerly tejefted, even on the ground of being incom.
petelli.

MTLEY, UART. v. HARWOOD' ESQ.

MR. GUANEY moved for
,a rule to'.shew cause
why there should not be a new trial in this cause,
on the ground that some witnesses whom he tendered
to be examined, should have been allowed to state
the impression which
.the words uttered by the
Defendant of and concerning the -Plaintiff, ought to
have.been received, but whose evidence was reject.
ed by the LerinledJudge;anion for
damages for defamatory words -: the Detendant had
said, at a populous meeting in Norfolk', for which
.place the Plaintiff was Candidate for a, seat in Par.
liament, That Sir' J. Ashley was a acqundrel, a
coward, 'a liar, and a murderer, and that he murdered
his own father."—The Defendant was in the ad of
explaining his meaning, but was pulled down, in the
tniddle of his speech, and , was not permitted to
speak afterwards; and IVlrGtittrrity"contended that
the impression which the words made on the minds
of the wiinesses ought to have been given in evi,
dericee,—Rule to shew cause granted.

THE OPERA.-

CAN Saturday; the, attraction of Firitando
sico procinced one or fullest houses we reMember
at this Theatre. At an 'early hour the Pit was
overflowing. The Opera went off with that 'et/al'
that accompanies such etxcellent singing as Mrs:,
BILL! NGTON'S, sustained by VI CANONI
The.grand Ballet of Vologese, King of the Par.
'Non: followed. In our Paper of Wednesday; Wts
gave a sketch of the. able of the Ballet, which is
founded on an Historic fa6l. The musk, froth the
pen of WINTER, is in a style much superior to what
we in general hear in Billets, and being dramati:.
cally composed har the aeon of the Ballet, presents
that ensemble, that adds considerably to the effect.
In general, the music of a Ballet consists of different
pieces brought together, tind united more or less
agreeably, according to the talents of the Cont.
pcier ; but, in this case, it is evident that the
Composer has given apposite music to every pas.,
slots, sentiment, and even motion, of the Performer.
The serious parts ate •in the first style of composi:.
lion, evincing a thorough knowledge of counter_
print. The harmonies are melodious, and the instru, ,
mewing of distinguished excellence. • The wind:,
instruments dialdgue pleasantly and playfully, anti
mtn.h effef is produced by sudden and striking
modulations : the whole is a proof that WtNTER.,
as a Theorist, is inferior to no Musician in Eu.
rope, • and the approbation that ',accompanies his
music evinces his ability as .a Composer,
The House was exceedingly full in every part~
arid produced a magnificent display -of Beauty and
Fashion, such as our late communications with the
Continent, convince us, cannot be shown in any
other Theatre in Europe. The stage is most com..
mendably kept clear, which circumstance really adds
new charms to the illusions of song and dance.

DRURY LAN E.-The pleasant • comedy of the
Marriage Prowls( was repeated on Saturday night,
and, as usual, well received. Mrs. JORDAN'S
pleasing air was given with great simplicity and
feeling, and loudly encored. The after-piece was
" Blue Beard," in which StE.T.r, from indisposition,
or some other cause, appeared considerably confused
so much so, as to incur the displeasure of a part of
the audience. The house was uncommonly full in
every part, and the boxes contained their share of
good company, considering the attraction of the
Opera House.

.rgiCKINC ‘v..TERROLI 'ESQ.

This was an Appeal from the Court of Quarter
Sessioni at Portsmouth, to the Court of King's
Bench. Colonel Terrol is the Commanding Officer
of the, Artillery at Portsmouth, and 1013 premises
thew, in which he, his lady, and family, reside ;
scud the only question for the decision of the Court
was,whether any part of these premises waslateable-?
This case was argued with very great abilities, on
the part. of sthe parish' •hy Mr. EIUK MR, Mr. Ser.
knot LENS, and Mr. GivsE.LY ; ,and by Mr. WAR
it By and Mr. RI-n Rom boNtlpf Colonel Terra].
Onthe pa r t of the parish it•was ad.miited,,that the

property of the-'l,l;fown in the &collation of d
Crczwn, or in the occupation of the mere servants of
the! Crown, was not.roarea- the-.gttiood on
-which they argtied the Defendant Was liable to pay
the' rates in thi& case, was, that this was a .I)Cilch-
cial occupgtinn, that it was not Merely a piaci in
,which he did his business as Commanding Officerof
the Artillery there, but that these premises afforded
a tr:otnfortable and convenient residence to himself
and family.
On the part of the Defendant it was very ably
•contended, that this was. the property of the CroWn,
,and that Ccilonel Terrol was a mere servant of the
Crown, inasmuch as' he,Was under the necessity of
.
going wherever the Crown choSe to order hini.—A
great number of authorities were cited on both sides.
Lord E1..1:1130R0UG11..-ThiS is 'a very import:.
ant question.' We shall think of it, and give the
judgment of
,the Court in.a few.days. •

NAVY ABUSE BILL.

Sir HENRY .01 LDALIY rose,. and observed,
that in any t4ing he was about to say on a question,
in his mind of considerable importance to the House
and the. Public at large, he did not mean to attach
any unjust conduit to any Gentleman in His Ma.:
jesty's. Navy. He was entirely governed by an ad
of Parliament: which passed a short time hack, the
letter and Spirit of which required, that the Corn.
Missiopers appointed under the ad to investi.
gate the abuses which have taken place in His Ma.
pity's. Navy, should report to the House the nature
and result of their minute inquiry ibut he,sould not
but express his astonishment, that .so much time
should have elapsed since, the passing of the Bill,
for-the purpose mentioned, and not the ieast
mation has yet been given to Parliament on the
subject. He thought it would have been HO more
than tlte duty of the Commissioners to have given
the House some information how they were going
Mt, in the business imposed on them : but it ditt
nor appear, 'that the Public was likely to receive any
information on the subject. Uodcr this impression,
he rose to, address the House,. on what he thought
was ,his duty as a Member of Parliament, There was
one circumstance among several, that he should take
the liberty, to mention to the House, which called
for some investigation, A Gentleman of the nave
of Taylor, had entered. into a Contrat with the
Board o& Admiralty, for the
,term of 7, 14, and at
years, to furnish GOveromeot with Blocks ; but with.,
out any, real cause of complaint against Mr, Taylor,
the,Board of Admiralty thought proper to break the
contract with him at the end of nine years : this
fodder; and strange omits& on the part of the Board
of Admiralty to Mr. Taylor, operated for a time as
hurtful, to his arrangements : however, no great
length of time elapsed before the Board of Ad.
mirally were obliged to come back and 'solicit •him
to renew, his engagements with them ; but this ap.
plication was refused by Mr. Taylor, unless the
Board gave him an additional WMo of to per
Cent, to whafi he before had from them. This,
among other things, ought to come before the
House, through the medium of the Commissioners,
so that Parliainent might form some opinion of Mr.
Taylor's eonsiud, tic begged itave V) call the at.

NO)t. DARILS ATTItSfUr TILL POND!

A singular circumstance occurred about one
o'clock on Sunday morning last :—As two Gentle.
men were returning late from a party in the City to
their homes in Westminster, they met a man at
Temple Bar, without any article of clothing on,
except his shirt : he was walking on the middle
of the coach road at . a very quick pace. The
Gentlemen called to him, hut receiving. no answer,
they laid hold of him, supposing him to be a ma-
p niac, or some person endeavouring to escape from
the hands of justice. On the Gentlemen insisting
' to know where he was going in that situation, they
received for answer, that he was walking for a
wager, and desired not to be detained (his feet were
moving all the time). The Gentlemen supposing
at first it might be the case, and that the per.
son wus dcsctding some whimsical bet, were
about to let him go, when they discovered that
his eyes were closed, and that he held a candle
in his hand ; this induced them to take him to a
watch-house. In forcing him thither, he suddenly
exclaimed, Good God I where am I ?'' and fol-
lowed up the exclamation with saying, he was
afraid he had been walking in his sleep. The Gen.
tlemen hearing this observation, no longer doubted
the lA, and explained to him the manner in which
they found Lim. The poor fellow, all shivering
with cold, informed them, that some years ago he
was much achlided to walk in his sleep, but not
having experienced any thing of the kind lately, he
supposed himself no longer liable to it. A watch.
man furnished him with a coat,
,and saw him safe
to his lodging, in the vicinity of Drury-lane.
The contest for the situation of Organist of the
?arid] of Sr. Clement's, terminated on Saturday
afternoon, after three days close polling, when 111 r.
I'v lOC 15, a blind Gentleman, was eleded by to ma.
jority of 35 over Mr. cmitisd'iC.
