The beautiful seat and lands of T. HARRIS,
Esq. at Belmont, near Uxbridge, which were
some time ago put up for sale, and purchased in,
at nine thousand five hundred guineas, have lately
bee►► divi►led into lots by that Gentleman, and
disposed of for a considerably larger sum.
Government having accepted the offer of an
Armed Association to be raised in Knutsford and
its neighbourhood, a Meeting was held in the
Court-room there, on Saturday last', for the pur-
pose of raking the names of persons wishing to
e►irol.themselves, at which time about 130 persons
came forward, and numbers have since daily added
themselves to the list. Thus a truly patriotic ex-
ample is set by that loyal town.—(Macclesfield
Courier.)
This morning early, a dreadful fire broke out
at a Ship-chandlers, Millbank-street, Westmin-
ster; which, after consuming the premises, com-
municated to.a lime-barge, which was also entirely
consumed,

DARING AND INHUMAN KORBRRY.—Friday,
about nine o'clock in the evening, Edward Banis-
ter, a labouring man,. was stopped between the
three and tout mile stone at Shepherd's Bush, on
the road to 'Uxbridge, and afterwards stabbed
with a knife in several places, and thrown into a
ditch in a field by the road side, by two men,
one a tall pale-faced man dressed in a dark short
smock frock, and the other a stout man with
large dark whiskers, dressed in a dark-coloured
coat, who robbed him of a 51. bank of England
note, a 2/. Oxford bank note, a 11. bank of Eng-
land note, and 12s. in silver, in a canvas bag,
and two bundles containing sundry articles of
wearing apparel.
CORONERS INQUEST.—Yesterday morning an
Inquisition was taken before It. dune, Esq. on
view of the body of Captain John Verity, a pri-
soner in custody of the Marshol, who died sud-
denly. It appeared in evidence that the deceased
had been latterly subject to a remarkable defi-
ciency in breathing, accompanied with loss of
senses, and that he was attacked in that way on
Monday morning early, and 'notwithstanding
medical advice, he shortly afterwards died. The
deceased had been constantly in the habit of tak-
ing laudanum, and the doctor was decidedly of
opinion it hastened his death. Verdict—', Died
in consequence of having taken too great a (pan-
tity of laudanum." .
