EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER 76.—The fifficry in
the Highlands this feafon has laiied very much.
In Lochfine we hear it has been very good. On
Wecnefilny laft one boat made till. and on Thurf-
day 211. The flfhcry in the Furth of Forth on
Friday and Saturday has Leen good. A repre-
fentation to the Treafury has been made by Mr.
CRAUVVRD, on the parrof the fifhery adventurers
at Greenock, that vete): failing from Scotland
may 6th on the coat( of Ireland, without being rub-
jefted to duty on falt, which though apparent from
the Al of Union.. is; in confequence of certain
diffictdties,YuPpofed to exill in the falt-laws, diffe-
rently maintained in the opinion of•the Commif-
fioncrs of the Revenue. The removal of every ob-
ilacic to the extendon of die Merits is of the ut-
moil national. impcittattee; and peculiarly due to
thole engaged in them at prefent, from the very
unfucceisful feafon which they have experienced
on the IVellern coati.

Nswcesrcs, Nov. 14.—0 n Thurfday, his Ma-
jefty's hired armed-fhip Wrights, Capt.CAPAr BEL L,
fttim Leith, put into Shields, by contrary winds,
having Soo French prifoners on board, bound to
one of the French ports. A brig cutter alto ac-
companied her.
The terrible gale of the 2d inft. we find, has
been general al round the Wand, the winds blow-
ing furundly in all diredions. Some loaded col-
liers from hence for London, had been driven into
the Downs from Orfordnefs ; and one fhip bound
to London had actually reached the Straits of
Dover. Many of them loft their boats, and every
thing upon deck, and fome of them bad all their
fails fpht to pieces.
In the late dreadful gale great damage has been
done to the fhipping belonging to thefe ports :
the accounts are yet imperfed and uncertain; but
we are extremely forry to learn, that fears are en-
tertained refpeding the Albion, Capt. HAY, which
failed from hence on Friday fe'nnight, on her voy-
age to London with goods—a feaman's theft, fe-
veral firkins of butter, and a boat belonging to the
above wires, having been picked up near Yar-
mouth.
On Thurfday fc'nnight a melancholy accident
happened at Blaydon to a ine bey, 13 years of
age, fon of ROBERT W,,.soa, of the fame place,
flunner. It appeared he had, unnoticed, gone to
a machine, erected for the purpofe of grinding
clay for making firebricks. and is luppoled to have'
approached lb near the Rart or lever, to which the
honk is fixed, as to be precipitated under the re-
',hiving lone, which is color:lured to have paired
Prete{ times over bighead before the eirctimilance
was difcovered, the head being literally crukhcd to
pieces.

Lew as, Nov. 26.—Vcflerday morning, about
half paft three o'clock, a fire broke oat m the (table
of a poor man nanica Carter, a common carrier,
at Newhaven, which burnt with the greated fury
till dm whole building and the combuftible part
of its contents, were entirely deftrnyed. Four
bodes perillied in the flames; and the adjoining
premifes were with difficulty fared, by the vtry
active affittance of nearly roo failors from the ref-
fcls in the harbour, aided by a number of the town's
people. The bodes wet e quite stead when the fire
was difcovercd, and were burnt in a very (hocking
manner; even 4.4 )cg banes of two of them were
nearly confumed. The catsfe of the above fire is
unknown. Carter bad carefully racked up his
with clian.ftraw about nine o'clock on Se-
; and had taken away and fafcly
Ibed has candle.
the night of yefferday fe"nnight the wind-
Feltner, belonging to Mr. Chriflmas, was

tvow, No* lad, about twelve
o'clock, Freer Donahoe, a ferjeant in the 3oth e-
girnent of foot, was ekettited here, pnritiant to
his fentenet at our laft felnons for uttering counter-'
feit Bank of England nmes. His behaviour at the
place of execution was Manly, decent, and .refign-
, ed. An lima& crowd of fpeetators attended on
the occ.illon, an he was launched into eternity
amidft the fighs of the furrounding multitude ; for
we are &fry to add, that he appeared fenfible for
many minetes after he was turned off; and a large
effulion of blood gulhed from his mouth and note,
which rendered the (cone moft awftilly terrible and
diftreffing.
William Dimond, George Courtney, and Thomas
Davis, were on Monday laft committed to our
gaol for defrauding feveral tradefmen of this town
under falfe pretences. They affumed the charac-
ters of tailors, declaring they had been lately dif-
otiarged from the Thunderer,aad had confiderable
fums to receive at the Cultotn.houfe for wages and
prize-money. We infert this as a caution to the
public, as others may perhaps have recourfe to
the fame artifices, at a time when numbers ulna
be difcbarged from the fea fery ice. It has been
found out on a fecond examination, that they
are deferters from the RUST, now in Yarmouth-
Roads.
The Elizabeth, of this port, WILLIAM StsioNs,
mailer, lately Paid to be on (bore on Southwold-
bar is got into that harbour with little damage.
Yefierday 136 French prifoners arrived here
from Yaxley barracks, and failed from hence the
fame day in thelafon, for Prance.

Oct. 28.—1 n the cafe of the King again(
mar, indicted originally on the Chalking AEI, for
an alfault and battery, attended with circumilan-1
ces of unparalleled outrage and atrocity, Mr.
GREENE, as Counfel for the Crown, Rated that
they were precluded from prolectiting the traver-i
ter capitally, the Aft of the t7th and s Bth of the
King, commonly called the Chalking A.& having
expired on the z4th of June, tBOO, and the fetlions
of Parliament after.—The Aft of the 11th George
11. an al:draft of the Coventry Aet. was Rill
doubtlefs in queftion ; but as it has an exprefs
clank, .• lying in wait, watching, waiting an op-
portunity," they were from the cireumßances of
the cafe, which would appear ("gorily before the
Court, prevented from taking advantage of that
At alto, though made perpetual. The At of
the 39th and aoth of the King was not cotainued.
Richard Venial was indifted feparately for al-
faulting James Mills and George Knaggs, on the
Ad init. near the Phanix park.
Mr. Gems Rated that the profecutors, both
of whom lived in Tighe4reet, being near neigh-
boars, refolving to take a walk on the evening of
the ad in.l. went towards hand-bridge, where they
entered a public-honk with intent to rfreth them-
felves ; that having been (hewn into a room up
*airs in the fame houfe, they got into company
with the traverfer and two perfons more, wilt,
leaned to have been his friends and intimates.—
IThe drink having gone round fomewhat
the whole company after exhibiting Come marks
I of hilarity and good fellownsip toward, each other.
i departed at the tame time ; when the profecutor
Knaggs, in his way homewards, which he was ap-
! proaching very peaceably along s ith his compa-
nion Mills, was overtaken by the traverfer, whom
he Coon had too much rcafon to recognize. A
fcuflle milted between the profecutor, Knaggs, and
him immediately, wi*.liout any provocation from
the former, as woo.',d appear in evidence, on which
the traverfer haYi»:, y turned round plunged
the blade of a knife into the infide fkihy
part of Knaggs'sleri thigh, and drawing it round
made into it an incision deep as the bone.
Having difatgaged the knife from that pans he
made a dat t of it at the heart of Knaggs, which he
happily evaded from the writhing! of torture
enured by the plin of his wound. He then made
a plunge of the tame knife at his left (boulder,
which penetrated the ihotilder blade. The mint..
tunate ruff:: cr then calk.' out to his companion—
Mills ! M4l, ! will you fee me murdered I Mills
on this having ruilhed forward to his aaillance. the
traverkr made another flab at Knaggs's throat,
which happily took no other effea than to cat his
flint and the wiling of his cravat. Mills having
fureeeded in difeneaging his himd from this bar-
barian. was immediately heard by Knaggs to try
out in agony... he has cut my eye out," which was
literall: the fat, as the monger plunged the knife
into the eye, and uled every effort to (coop it
eat. The wanton mid ounrdesons intent of the

thsverfer Would meat obvions to die Jury, when
they refleatd that every blow he made was aimed
.at a vital parts He was immediately feized by
Mills, who nerd parted with hira,though obligedto
rapport Knaggs at the fame tune, until they com-
mitted him to the watch honk. Here even when
his choler, if choler could be advanced in apology
for fo dchberate and cold-blooded a tranfaai,u,
had time to cool, by the infamous and fabricated
itscufe he made for conduit fo atrocious, he clear-
ly evinced the unheard of depravity of his princi-
ples, by alledging the profecutors attempted to rob
him, and that he was lorry he had not his pillols
to !hoot them. It mull however be confeffed, that
he afterwards relented this falfhood, by affirming
that nothing but the Devil hitnfelf could influence
him to fuch barbarity.
Knaggs appeared on ern tchesto give tellimony ;
he corroborated the flaternent of Mr. Green with
the utmoll precifion, and exhibited the wound
in his thigh to the Jury, with a number of linen
cloths he wore, profufely befmeared with blood.
Mills then advanced, who was very circum-
dantial in fuppOrting the teftimony of Knaggs,
and exhibited the miferable fpeaasele of his wound-
ed eye, as the firongelleorroboration of the faits
alledged. The Jury, without retiring, brought in
a ye rdia —G uilty.
Knaggs was alked by order of the Court, if he
intended to bring. an action of damages? he re-
plied in the negative. On the part of Mills, it was
intimated that he intended to fue for damages.—
