The arrangements for affording a regular al-
lowance to the Colonels of regiments, in lieu of
perquithes from cloathing, &c. have at length been
determined. The emoluments of a regiment in
the Eaft or Well Indies, was wont, in fume inftan-
ces, to be confiderable, although not near com-
plete in point of numbers ; the full complement of
cloathing was drawn for, added to which, in thofe

We do not know the amount of the compenfation.
The 32d regiment on Thurfday arrived at Brif-

REMARKABLE FECUNDITY.—A few days flute
a poll-ewe, belonging to Mr. Jams s Guy, of Slicip-
wyke, yenned lix lambs, four of which loon after
died, but the other two are now living, and in a
thriving Rate, with their dam.
A ludicrous eircumflance lately occitred at the
Theatre at Market-Drayton, Shropthire.—Tlie
company were performing Pizarro, when, during
the hymn to the Sun, the lights being placed tco
dole to the tranfparency fcene of that luminary,
it unfortunately took tire. The Manager, who
was officiating as High Prieft, 'JO after tinging
the words—" 0 Power Supreme"—obferved the
ant in the utmoft contlernation, called
out to the Itage-keeper.—" The Sun': oti
then proceeding with the hymn,—" 0 Power Su-
preme !—D— your ey.-t, put out te Sax, IMy."
The Sun, however, continued to blaze, and the
manager to ling and fwear ; till the audience, not-
withflanding their fears, were convulied with
laughter ; the fire in the Sun being, however, es-
tingnifhcd, the play proceeded.

Tnefday iatt, a (mall box arrived at Cork, on
its way to this city, direeted to JANIES HUGH
5111 rat BARRY, Efq. containing coals out of
A Mille jUll dircovered on his estate, near Lloghn.t-
kilty. Thz contiguity of the mine to the ocean,
will render the c:pence of 'hipping a mere trifle ;
betides, the coals arc equal in quality to the b2lt
Liverpool, and burn without fmoke.

R confcquence of the mob having al.
fenihled at Taunton, and infißed on the reduelion
of the different articles of provifion;, viz. butter
to be fold at Bd. per lb. and the quartern-loaf at
toil. the farmers omitted to bring their corn to
market ; the cff‘et of which occailoned very ferious
alarm to the inhabitants ; and an ablolnte defi-
ciency of bread was experienced. On \Vcdnefday
evening, however, a party of horfc entered the
town with two of the rioters, who will immediate-
ly take their trial.
A ferious riot took place lall week in Glouceßer-
fhire ; thirteen of the moft aflive wereapprehended
and lent to Glouceficr, where one of the Judges
(Sir SOULDEN LAWRENCE) only remained, who
declared he would not quit the city till every fymp-
torn of diforder had fubfided, in order that punifli-
ment might inimsdiauly follow the commiflion of
the offence.

The riots in Exeter and the neighbourhood have
been kept under through the prudent meafures
taken by the Magiftrates, and the principal inhabi-
tants enrolling themfelves as conftables. Upwards
0130301. have been fubfcribed in that city for the
purchafe of foreign corn and flour as a relief to
the poor. And a private letter informs us that
7000 loaves are to be baked weekly in that city,
and three pounds of bread to be fold to every poor
perfon at 6d. The fira appearance of the mob
was truly formidable, and they for two market
days difpofed of provifions at thtir own prices;
but 700 conflables, backed by three troops of dra-
goons, have effeflually difperfzd them.
By a gentleman arrived from Hereford, we
learn, that the exorbitant prices of provifions had
excited riots and tumults in the coun ics through
which he paired; that the infurgents had alferebled
together at the market-places, and obliged the far-
mers to bring their corn, &c. to fide at very reduced
prices ; but that the vigilance and aftivity of the,
Magittratet, together with the aid of the military,
fuccceded in producing an apparent return of
tranquillity.
MiitoieD, APRIL t.—A moll fcandalous tranf-
aaion took place at Haverfordwea, on Saturday
left (market day) ; fome perfons, from what ma-
tiv! cannot call!), be imagined, polled a paper in
a pub' part t f the town, Rating that barley and
fine wheaten flour would on the following Monday
be fold by a gentleman at Mitford to the poor, at
a price little more than half the average of the
market, namely, bailey at ss. 6d. a Winchefter
bulhel, and tine flour at Std. per lb. The dila!).
pointment occasioned by this hand-bill was not fo
great as it Should feem the author intended ; for
on the tirft intimation of it at this place, perfons
were fent in different direElions to fct the poor
right on the fubjeft ; and, although a few came
from diaant parts, the number was fmall com-
pared with what other% ife ouldhavebeen the cafe.
One evening lall week, as a poor weaver, of the
Clofe, in Nevecaille, was returning from Shields,
where he had been delivering a web, for the weav-
ing of w bich he had received fourteen Shillings, he
was attacked on the road by two men, one of whom
demanded his money. It was in vain the weaver
pleaded extreme poverty and a flarving family;
his all was taken horn him. He earnellly requeft-
ed, however, that they would give him two Shil-
lings out of fourteen, which was at lati complied
with by the man who had as yet taken no aelive
concern in the robbery, and the fuppofcd (utterer'
was allowed to depart. He had not gone far be.
fore he heard lonic perfons running after him, and
crept through the adjoining hedge to avoid the
danger. `I his he fuccceded in doing, and taking
his road acrofs the fields, arrived life at home
with his Myriad two Millings, which to the ado-
uifhment the hotieft weaver, were tiatnd on
I examination to be nothing lefs than guineas, a
part, no doubt, of the booty extraaed from the
poduts of mute wealthy lufterers, and which, in
the trepidation of treachery, had been given in-
field of Millings.
A curious caufe has lately occupied the atten.
tion of the Criminal Tribunal at Veloul.--A young
woman was brought before it upon an accufatien
of having murdered her child. This accusation
was made against her by the general voice of her
neighbours, becaufe She could not produce any
proof of the death of a child of which the was laid
to have been delivered. The defence the has let
up, and which is much confirmed by the report
of the Officers of Health, by whom Ihe has been
examined, is, that her pregnancy was feigned, in
order to force her lover, who was a foldier in the
army of Dijon, to marry her.
We have to congratulate the public on the ar-
I rival of that worthy Phil tathropia and 'ireful
men ber of fociety, Dr. GARDNILR, from E tin-
burgh.—His diftinguithed Dill, inavity of m in-

SITTINGS BEFORE LORD ELDON AND A SPECIAL JURY.

-
PARKER Tafel r PASS.
This was an aaion brotiltt to eft:thin a Patent
for making Cement cr Mortar againtl an infringe-
ment by the Defend:int.—The Specification hated,
that the cement was prepared from nodules of clay,
and polell'ed greater hareinces and durability than
any cement known at the time of granting thcipatent.
Mr. Serjeant COCK F.LI. opened the care, and to
eflablift the cicarnefs of the Specification, called
Mr. Varlet'. I.ci.cbtrer in Cherni:try and blatural
Philolophy, and several praCtical men of great ex-
perience and retPeaability, who 'hewed that they
had prepared cement from the direelions which it
contained. They proved th:: utility and excellence
of the cement, and of its being a inbfiance totally
Unknown to them before the granting of the patent.
The infringement being alto proved,
Mr. Serjeant SHFPPARD, cf Conned for the De-
fendant, then called witneffes to thew that a fimilar
lubilance bad been made aimed forty years ago.
The title witnefs flitted a feries of events, tending,
as lie imagined, to eflablifh this point; but his evi-
dence was not confirmed by any other witnefs. The
nest witnefs in attempting tolliew that similar ma-
terials to thole ufed by the Patentee, were worked
in a remote part of the country, funk down in a
tainting tit, apparently by the preffure of the crofs
examinati.,n. Dr. Babington, a refpeelable Philofo-
pher and Naturalift, callei alfo by the Defendant,
pointed one the charaCters of the different tliblian-
ces prefented ; but his evidence, inhead of ferving
the purpole intended, weighed much in favour oi.
the Platietiff, and clearly cilahli(hed the Specifi-
cation. Another wieners, calling hinifelf a Civil
Engineer, contraclitßed the tellimnny of the firft
witnefs, as to the nature of a particular kind of
lime, which was the only material point that the
Defendant endeavoured to eftablifh. Several other
pereons were called to thew that the cement was
;made from lime-ft one,but they failed in their proofs.
Mr. Serjeant Coc aLt.t., in his reply, entertained
the Court by his wit, and inttruaed it by his elo-
quence ; he contracted very happily the nature
atid credibility of the evidence on each fide, diftin-
guithing clearly and promptly all the merits of
the contest, and pointed out with much perfpicuity
and ability all that was tirelltial to fecure a verdia
for his Client.

Lord ELDON firff went through the Specification,
and !laid, that to him it was perfe.Ftly clear and
fatisfaelory fo much pains had been taken to ex-
plain and illuffrate the terms, that no doubt of its
meaning and purport could remain. His Lord-
-114 recapitulated with the turnoff clearnefs the
leading points of evidence on both fides, and laid,
if the found for the Plaintiff with fuch Dama-
Fes as did not fatisfy him, he would have a right
in equity to demand an account of the whole pro-
fits, that the Defendants had made by this bufinefs.
