We have bad many arrivals from Calais both yes-
terday and to.day, and of course many reports;
we cannot obtain any intelligence that may be relied
on, except that all seem to agree that the affairs of
France are much altered for the better within these
I.w days last, and that BONAPARTE does not find so
miny adherents to his cause as was expected : the

Lord idt7CAN sailed this afternoon on ho4rd the Lady
Frances packet for Calais, charged with dispatches.
HALF-PAST ONE, P. M.—The last vessel which ar-
rived from Calais left that place at ten o'clock this
morning, when the Master was told, as he put off;
that some good news had then just arrived, hut he
could not wait to hear the particulars. If true, there
will be no doubt an arrival this night, as there are
some boats waiting at Calais to come away express
whenever any thing particular occurs.

A QVRER PUN.—A person, who had lately come
to a large landed property •by the death of an awn,
observed, that he had certainly no reason to mourn,
since in the room of one aunt he had lost, he had now

gained tees-oats. -
into
a chimney-sweeper's boy went on Wednesday
a baker's shop, for a twopenny loaf, and perceiving
it was notfellzeowit. be remarked to the baker, that
he did not believe it was weight. 44 Never mind'
that," replied the man of dough, 44 you will have the
lest to carry." "True," rejoined the lad, and throwing
three halfpence on the counter, left the shop. The
baker called after him, that he had not paid money
enough. 4' Never mind that," hallowed young sooty,
g‘ you will have the lar to could."
Friday last Mr. COKE, of Norfolk, while attending
at a cattle fair at Norwich, was vehemently assaulted
by a mob, and was forced to take refuge in an inn.
The mob proceeded to commit violence on the doors
and posts of the premises. but Mr. CMG/ escaped by
a back way in disguise. The disturbance was quelled
by the approach of military.
In the preamble of the Bank Restriction Bill, it
states, that the Bank is to begin paying in specie in
July 1816. Mr. BISH, of Cornhill, and Charing Cross,
pays the Five 1000 Guinea Prizes in Specie, the sth..
of April, when the Lottery begins drawing, and
contains Three Prizes of £30,000, with only 15,000
Tickets.
THE GOLDEN AGE RESTORED !—When the sun
:ibis the morn, and golden showers give promise of a
graen harvest, and the rick product of a golden fleece,
who will not seize the golelen opportunity of sharing
in the present GOLDEN Lottery ? OLD CARTER has
paid more OLD GOLD for Prizes, than many have paid
Silver ;—and he confidently hopes the Pactolian
stream will not forsake its old-established Chantal,
No. 8, Charing Cross.
In consequence of the Resurrection of the Corsican
Tyrant, a most unprecedented demand for the Star,
Courier, Globe, Son,naveller, Pilot, and Sideman even-
ing Newspapers, will certainly take place immediately,
• MARTIN and Co. No. 8, CORNHILL, therefore take
this opportunity of returning their grateful acknow.
ledgments for the distinguished patronage they have
hi thk rto received, and beg to inform the Army, Navy,
and the Commercial World, that they can be supplied
with any quantity of London Newspapers, at the
shortest notice, and with the utmost punctuality,
from their Office as above, where all orders are re-
spectfully &elicited to be addressed.
64 It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," is a
very old and is very trite adage, and, perhaps. was
never more verified than in the present instance ; for
there are two descriptions of persons (nay three)
who will in all probability benefit by thy desperate
game that Bonaparte seems playing. There are a
vast number of persons here who intended visiting
trance—there are a vast number of persons there
who intended staying—both those are baulked in
their wishes—those who are here will be induced (as
they cannot spend their loose cash in France) to
buy a Lottery Ticket or Share—those who are there
(t,;22ey arc fortunate enough to get home in a fort-
night), wJI most likely try whether Dame Fortune,
in this Country, will not repay them for the money
idly spent in another. especially
.as the Chance this
time is so great in their favour,. there being Three
Fri:rs of ei3o,oco, besides Five Prizes of 1,000
I
'Tr:rark. rten, pins in tietterfirarlfire zha'Y believe '
our eyes, the Lottery Office Keepers will reap a
of ion Harvest, seeing their shops constantly

St beme, and the Drawing being so near as the sth
of NEIT MONTI!.

LINCOLN ASSIZE.:

Addy, aged twenty, late of Wybertoth 'la-
bourer, was charged with cutting Mary Bacon, with
intent to murder hen—Mary Bacon, aged 17, stated,
that she had known the prisoner a year and a half p--
that some time ago he came to lodge in her father's
house. On the 28th of Ottober, in the evening, he
went a milking with her, and said, that if * would
not keep his company, she should not keep any one's,
for he would cut her throat and his own too. Next
day, about eleven in the morning, wirness was sitting
near the fire, and the prisoner in the window ;—her
sister and infant brother were in the same room ; the
prisoner went behind, and put his hand on her shoul-
der ; she desired he would not do so; and he said—
N What's the matter r' and as she was about to re-
ply, she perceived blood running down her neck)
although she had npt felt any cut ; she thrust him
away, and he struck her again with a razor, which in-
fti-ted a wound on her face. She ran up stairs to
her mother, who coming down directly with her, both
ran :out of the house ; the prisoner, however, Thad
gone out before them to a neighbour's house.
Cross examined.—The prisoner and she were much
together. ; he courted her, and was jealous of a young
man who came last May-day into the neighbourhood:
he WAS much agitated when they were a milking,
and more so next morning, but no words passed ; he
would not have any breakfast ; but witness thinks he
was not out of his senses.
The evidence of Elizabeth Bacon, the sister of the
prosecutrix, and that of her mother, went to prove the
offence.
Mr. Rogers, the Surgeon, deposed that the wound
was six inches long ; the cartoid artery was laid
quite bare, and beating in sight ; had it been woun-
ded, the girl would have died instantly. The wound
which the prisonerafterwardsgave himself, had severed
the windpipe in halves ; he was lying in a cottage, and
said he did not deserve to have any service done to
him.—For the defence, W. Brown gave • him a good
character, and said, that love had made sad havoc
with him some time before he committed this offence.
He was much reduced, and very dejected.
Susannah Baker said, she also had made the same
observations ; and two days before this affair, she
had seen him walking out without his shoes and hat,
seemingly disregarding every thing. She thought him
a very humane and well disposed young man.
The Jvnot observed, that the offence was not a
sudden ebullition of the mind, for it was clear that
he bad contemplated it at least the night before ;
and the proof of the perpetration was connected and
clear.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the I,
prisoner received sentence of death. The Jury re-
commended him to mercy, and the Judge said, he
should probably attend to their suggestion.
J. Heaton, aged 28, was indicted for stopping Mary
Wilson, of Louth, on the highway, on me 18th of
December. The prosecutrix stated, that she was on
the toad about three miles from Louth, when the
prisoner, after making some enquiry about a woman
who had passed her a short time before, seized her
by the waist, threw her on the ground, demanded her
money, arid took indecent liberties with her person.
She offered to surrender her money if he would not
abuse her ; and in the course of their struggle, pulled
him down, and thence escaped ; bat he overtook her,
sw.ore at her, bid her keep her money, and vnts again
in the act of using violence to her, when her screams
alarmed him, and he ran off, just before a young man
came up.—The Jury found him guilty, and he was
sentenced to seven years transportation.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Saturday an inquest was
held at the Triumphal Chariot, in Grosvenor-place,
before Mr. GEL', Coroner for the County, on the
body of Jane Watson, the young woman who was
unfortunately shot on the evening of Tuesday, the
7th inst. before Mr. Robinson's house, in Burlington.
street, during the riots, and who died of the wounds she
received on chat occasion, on Friday morning last, in
St. George'i Hospital.—Mr. Thompson, one of the
Surgeons of the Hospital, deposed, that there were
two wounds in the lower part of the scalp, covering
the parietal bone,•}snd distant fsom each other about
an inch ;--an abscess had formed beneath the
bone which was frattured. No shot or ball was
found.—James Ripley, butler to Mr. Robinson, was
next examined ;—.his evidence has been already
fully detailed on the Inquest which lately sat on the
body of Edward Vize.—W. Sutton, the footman, was
iat.Tepeatant his evidence in substance as
on the former Inquest, and sealed, that he had bor-
rowed a pistol from the butler or Lord Buckingham-
shire, together with some shot ; he did so without any
orders. In a conversation with his master, he was
desired to tell the butler to bring the military into the
house. He would identify the soldier who fired the
shot at any time, if called upon. W. Smith was also
examined, but stated no new fact.—Elizabeth Brit-
ton, of Charles-street, Long-acre, deposed, that the
deceased lodged in her house ; she was the widow of I
a seaman. On the evening in question she went out
to go to Temple Bar ; and about eleven o'clock wit-
ness heard of what had happened to her. She was
of opinion it was curiosity alone which had taken her
to Burlington-street. She has left a child about seven,
years of age, destitute of any support.—Amelia
Davis met her near Mr. Robinson's house on Tuesday
night. There was no appearance of riot whatever ;
wanes: thought herself as safe as if she was at home.
There were about fifty persons collected. Shortly
sifter a gun" or pistol was fired, and witness and
deceased were going away, when four guns were
fired, and the deceased fell into her arms. Witness
was shot in the chin.—T. Chalky, footman to Lord
Somerville, was also present at the time the discharge
of firearms took place ; was wounded himself with
powder or wadding. There was no riot at the time
of the firing. The Jury then adjourned.

The benevolent Society of St. Patrick held their
anniversary meeting on Friday last, at which the
Duke of KENT precded with that powerful and.conci-
hating influence over the hearts of the numerous
company, which ever accompanies his generous efforts
in the cause of benevolence. His Royal Highness
presented £lOO from the PRINCE Ricotta., making
his subscriptions in all to this most excellent charity,
422115. • The subscriptions received at table amoun-
ted to above 4900. His Royal Highness consented
to take the Chair nut year.
