]JON ASTER, Nov. 9.—On Monday night there
was a fAI of snow on the High Wo:ds, two inches
deep, over l'he whole of the country, V 4 Wel), consi-
dering tint the leaves were yet green, and hat ,orne
fields of corn. were yet to be got in, presented a very
singular appearance of Summer. and winter in the
same moment.

On the morning of yesterday week, betwixt two
and three o'clock, an .alarming fire broke out in the
house of Mr. Robert I amplough, a farmer, at
Kil-
ham, which burned with great fury for upwards of
an hour, before assistance could he had. Fortunalely
there was little wind,.or the damage .would have
been seripus, indeed, as there were several corn
stacks in the fold yard. We'understand there were
six horses in the stable, five of which were burnt
to death, and the other so much scorched as to
leave no hopes of its recovery. The house and fur-
niture were nearly destroyed. There was a pond in
the yard, or the whole premises "must hae Peep
consumed. Instead of the compassionate and ener-
getical aid of every neighbour, many depredaiioris
were comenitted, and a considerable part, of the corn
carried off in sheaVes.

A grand pigeon

and the match was won by the Hertfordshire men,
Who brought 19 pigeons to big, Mr. Barrow hat ink
killed all his birds. The losers killed 17 birds.
A few drys ago, Lord TEMPLE, with some of his

died upon the spot. Capt., BATcs NaS thrown vio-
lently forward, and most providentially clear of the
'horse. Capt. B. was Very little hurt.
A young man, habned as an Officer in the Navy,
'stook a coach'early yesterday morning in Piccadilly,
and desired the coachman to drive him with all
apeed to Upper John-street, FitZroy-squate. There
Was a peculiarity in his manner which caught the
attention
.of the coachman ; and on the arrival of
the:coach in Word-street, a pistol was discharged,
and a ball passed through one of the pannels.—On
