RIOT IN THE KING'S BENCH.

We understand that the mock election, in the.
King's Bench prison, of which our readers will find
some account in another part of our paper, turned
last nig* into a serious riot, in which several of the
officers of the prison were knocked down and is;
saulted, and the Marshal at length found it neces-
sary to send for a party of soldiers from the Horse
Guards, to quell the tumult.
The Guards did not leave the prison until this
afternoon. Several of the principal rioters are still
under arrest. We regret that the circumstance
should have occurred, as it will probably produce ati
abridgment of the privileges now enjoyed by the
Debtors.

ROBBERY AT ADDISCOMBE COLLEGE'
SURREY.—Two PIECES OF ORDNANCE STOLFll.—Thicv
ing is every day improving, nothing is too light or too
heavy for its able professors,—from a piece of lace to
piece of ordnance, all is worthy their attention, and the
cool effrontery and 'ion-chew:cc with which they exercise
the most hazardous feats is not more amusing than W
be wondered at. On Thursday last it was discovered tho
two cannon, weighing four cwt. each, were abstracted irons'
the exercising ground of the East India Company's Cone;
at Addiscombe, by, some able members of the corps of LOU'
dvoanluabClrmveaYwanriceal,re;ere 5i They were composed of brass, -
inches diaMeter in the bore, and
presented to the College by the Board of Ordnani:e, with it
view of promoting a knowledge of gunnery among the
cadets. It is supposed that they had been removed some
days before their loss was found out, and that they were
taken in order to be disposed of as old metal. The Go-
vernors of the College have offered the munificent reward
of two guineas for the recovery of their bombs and the ama-
teur bombardiers, which:we, doubtless, will have the desired
effect. The Honourable Company are as yet unacquainted
with the depredation, and it is supposed, when it reaches
their ears, they will not confine themselves to'a reining,
ration of two guineas.
EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF SOW
NOLENCY.—AII uncommon instance of long-
continued sleep has occurred during the past
week, at Woodhouse, near this town. An uu-
married female, named Elizabeth Armitage,
about 69 years. of age, who had for some months
past been gradually declining, during which time
she had taken very little sustenance, suddenly •
fell into a state of lethargic stupor about two
o'clock in the morning of the Ist inst. in which
state she continued, without uttering .a word, re'
ceiving any food, or showing any signs of lifei
except breathing, which was, at times, almost
imperceptible. In this state she remained until
Monday morning last, that is eight days, whet,
• she expired without a struggle, On the Sunda,
• before her death, she was visited by severpl
hundred persons.—Leeds Mercury.
