A few days ago, the workmen began to open
the ground on the routh fide of Filhergate near
the Tollbars, Preflon, on which the new Theatre
is to be crated, by fubfcription, in a capacious Rile
of elegance, correfpondent with the other improve-
ments daily making in that flourifhing town.
On Thurfday night a partridge dallied through
a pane of glafs in one of the windows in the rear
of Mr. Scores houfe in St. Martin's-lane. The
noife having alarmed the family, the fluttering
intrOdei was obliged to furrender at difcretion,
maimed confiderably by the glafs, but is Rill alive
and able to feed.

There was pulled tall week in the garden of
Areberfield, EaR Lothian, an apple which mea-
fured is by 13 inches in circumferenc, and
weighed one pound two o'tnces one half.
A peach has been recently gathered, in Mr.
Heoderfort's garden at Bedfont, of the eztraordi-
nail, weight of nine ounces and a half.
A very extenfivc lboal of herrings were lately
obferved between Fraferburgh and Peterhead,
moving to the Wellward.
A fmall take of herrings was in the Frith of
Forth, above the Ferries, on Friday laft. A few
have been got off Burntifland ; but there are only
two bred fithermen in that town, fo that few trials
have been made. A great number of pilchards
are in the Frith, of a good quality.
Within this fortnight pall vall numbers of dog-
Ells have been Peen in the River Tay. Small boats
have been in danger of overfetting by them.—
They are of a large fize, many upwards of ten
feet in length.
A battle was lta week fought at Great Ponton,
between B. Dickinfon, the fighting tailor, and S.
Houghton, a horfe.breaker of Storton ; the latter
was upwards of feventy years of age, and received
fo much injury in the conflict, that he died fbortly
' after. The tailor, though a fcientific boxer, and
an athletic man, was obliged to be carried from
the ground.

Thomas Wiciiefra, for injuring a horfe belonging
to OM HUNTII, Efq. by malitioufly driving a
nail into his foot, was fentenced to lis months um-
prifonment in the Houfe of Correetion, at Peterbo-
rough Seffions, on Wedefday 141.
