Another great fire has happened in the Welt of
England : the village of near Langpo•t; in
Scmet&Aire, is alma totally dvaroyed ; fealce any
horde is left but the parfonage. It WAS with great
difficulty that the town of Langport cfcaped.
Lail Sunday night a fire broke out in the ripper
part of a houfe at Canteroury-row, Newington Butt..
In the curfery-room lay fall a fleep two ) 'tang ciol•
dren, who were with fume d:fficulty extricated I. om
their perilous fituation. The flames, by the timely
difcove: y of the family, were very loon extinguifhed.
A letter from Poole fays—" On Saturday lath there
was one of the heavieft gales at N. E. that has ever
been known at this feafon : round this neighb,urbood
the trees are nearl-: [tripped of their foliage. The
feathered race did not etcape the ravages it made.
wherever it diretied- its courfe ; three fore your.g
cranes were taken up the next morning, all dead, hav-

ASTRONOMY.—Dr. 01.13P1S has written to Doetor
Youric, Foreign Secretary to the Royal an•
nouncing his difcovery of another new planer, orith.:
z9th and 3oth of March !aft. This planer, which Fri
calls Vella, is apparently about ti.e fize of a liar oz.

at his Obfervatory on Blackheath, who fay•, it al)
pears like a liar of the 6th magnitude, of a dufky
colour, fimilar in appearance to the Herfchel.
DISINMESTED ADVICB.—The late Dr. Darwin.
one day at Nottingham, afrembled a large crowd (-1
people around him, and thus addreffed- himftlf to
them.-44 Ye men of Nottingham, linen to met Yr u

of being induftrious will forfake you. 2 hat ycu

Rirsturamcs.—A woman who travelled as a
hawker, had, twelve years ago, flolen foam clothes
from the Green of Ayr ; the carried them with her
to Mancheller, where the went ar.d refided till the
died. Three days before her death, the prefenred
them to her landlady, told her how the had come by
them, and, with fincere anguifh, requefled her to get
them fent back to Ayr, direaed to Dr. Bone, and to
requen him to advettife them, and the hoped every
one would get their own, as they were " all fate and
found." One part of them (he laid belonged a
lady in the town, and there were packed up by them-
felves, and have been returned. The ret lie with
Dr. Bone, who received the package lalt week, till
the owners (hall claim them.
A new gallows has been congruaed, and will be

ready for launching in the Old Bailey the next exe-
cution day : it is a more portable vehicle than that
which has been broken up, being made to travel on
wheels that lock like thole of a waggon, otherwile
there is nothing new in the principle of its machinery.

Yeflerday at Wortbip-greet Office Rogers
underwent an examination, charged with having
flolen a horfe ont of a field at Hackney, the property
of Mr. Joel, of Shoreditch. From the evidence of
feveral witnefres and the horfe being traced to the
polleflion of the ptifoner, he was committed for trial.
A man and a woman, charged by a foldier wi'h
robbing him of feveral articles of wearing apparel,
were alfo fully committed.

FEMALE SWINDLER.—Mary Gammon was charged,
at Queen•fquare Office yeflerday, with the commiffiun
of divers frauds and felonies. Her fyilem was de-
veloped asfollows :—She being a woman of a mai ruilly•
appearance and peifuafive manners, dived into the
poor recelfes of the wives of abfent foldiers, jourrfey-
men taylors, &c. about the lower part of Wetimintier,
and having contrived to learn their names and fome
little of their circumflances, introduced herfelf with

an offer to get them children to nurfe ;—the general
terms the held out to diem were—two guineas to be
paid in advance, and half a guinea per week, to be
paid regularly every week at a linen draper's fhop in
Parliament.flreet. To this was to be added half a
bottle of wine per day, and as much broken viftuals
from the houfe as would main,ain the red of her
family. This bait to the neccifi:ous was eagerly nib-
bled at ; the poor creatures would treat their generous
friesd with a drop of cordial fOr bet ft iendlhip, and
while they were gene to fetch the grateful draft, tome
of their habiliments, or portable articles, were lure to
be purloined. Some log gowns, (hilts, under petti.
coats, child's linen, And fume other articles ;and a few
who bad m ,ney in their pockets were induced to par t
with that as far as their abilities went. This Was
cart ied on, it is underilood, to a conliderable extent.
Seven charges were made good againfl her for decep-
tion and robbery, and the was committed for trial,

A7TnANkli GtNERAL V. 14F‘Ncomar, Ett.TLLAKD, AND

In t} ;s cafe, which excited very great public in-
terefl, as well as tincomnvin anxiety in the parties,
the Attorney General, r.ri the information of the
Rev. Richard Under, and feveral :if the parilhioners
of the pari(h of Saint James, Clerkenwell, was Plain-
tiff, arid the Churchwardens, Richard Newcombe,
John Bullard, the Rev. Henry Eiller, and ether ir,•
habitants of the f,i,i parith, were deferdaws. The
matter in iffue has been litertiorfly litigated fi r near
three years, in this and the Spiritual Court, the ob•
jc•Fl being to try the validity ref an eletlion in that
pariffi. had in the year 18:4. between the two clergy.
men ab(ivenatued, for the Vicarage of Clerkenwell.
Mr. Fofler Was returned by the Churchwardens as
the fuccef.•fnl Cancildate, and the information and
hill in this cafe were filed, to try the validity of that
Elettiiin, and praying an injuntlion againll the Bifhop
of London, to rellrain him from granting a licence
to Mr. Fuller for officiating as the Vicar, purfuant
to Inch Elc9ion. The modes of inveffigating the
merits of this Eletlion were very twill-nal, as fug-
gelled by the bill; they were either to go before the
Matter to examine the validity of all the votes, or to
try by a Jury each vote feparately; a proceeding,
which nowt be attended with infinite expense, delay,
and inconvenier ce to the parties.
It appeared, that at the diffnlution of monalleties,
the property in difpute came into the hands of the
Crown ; and on the zd of June ;656, a deed of pur-
chafe was obtained by the parifhioners and inhabi-
tants of the I a: ifh, in !lull, to five feveral truflees,
named therein, and to their heits for ever, who were
at all times to cleft a Vicar upon every vacancy,
with a turn rif 4l 14s. 6.1. ye lily, as a (Upend for the
Curate. it haillened that in the year 1770, in the
cafe of the 'tor. Mr. Sellon, a fimilar cafe to the
prelent had been agitated between the patifhioners
of the fame parifb, and a decree pronounced by the
Court cif Exchequer in favour of theplaintiffs, which
eirealy applied to the prefent cafe, as contended for
by the plaintiffs' Counfel. The Churchwardens were
charged with partiality and corruption in the Elec-
tion, and much turned on the true meaning of the
words " inhabitants," and " patithinners," which,
the Chancellor obfetved, would to an ingenious mind
admit fifty different conflrutlions ; but the word
" paying," not heretofore much difputed among
lawyers, became here curioufly interefling. Mr.
Richards, in; the plaintiffs, contending that paying
did mean having paid. The Chancellor olferved,
that that might be a Welch conflrutlion of the term,
while My. Richards contended, that, life the cafe in
ceitain Boroughs, paying Icon and lott, to entitle a
voter, he mull have been fix previous months a refi•
dent, and have aillually paid; it cud here mean hav-
ing paid the (*.ditch and poor's rates, fo that it did ad-
mit the confirnairin iu Loglith, as well as Welch,
and in Latin

Sir SAMUEL Rommt.v, for the defendants, on the
contrary, lot cibly argued, that the tel " paying"
only ligidtied bete a liability to pay, or to being of
felted ; and humouroufly refuted Mr. Richards's
c.crittruElian of the term, by Rating, that if the term
" paying" could mean " having paid," the Chan•
cellar mutt preore his mind, it he could, to conli:ler
cim (Sir Samuel), then in the mida of his argument,
as not at all fpeaking, but as having already fpoken;
a circumflance, he thought, which it would require
much ingenuity in any Counfcl to perfuade his Lord-
fhip of. Sir Samuel Romilly, followed by four other
Condel, two of whom flibllituted his atgument for
their , to fave the time of the Court, congratulated
the patifisioners of Clerkenwell upon the near ap•
proach, he hoped, of the final termination of a long,
vindiftive, and litigious contest, carried on under the
femblance or colour of religi,n, like other cafes of the
kind, upon their lips, without the fiightell tinflure of
it in their heart,; he added, that no proof of parti-
ality or corruption m hatever appeared againd the
Churchwardens, in lie eleetion or return ; and that
es en if there had, the Court bad no jorifdinion
over that quedion, as it could not aft as a Commit-
tee of the Houle of Commons ; that this WAS not a
cafe of a dimity or donation, but a private purchafe,
as to the !Upend ; and that the eta-6°n WAS conduc-
ted not only with the utmoft fairnefs, but with un-
Ili:rat caution ; that the decree of the Court of Ex-
chequer was unintelligible, and lhould not be deemed
prelident ; that the Defendants lhould have their
cods ; and that, if any ground had exilled for the
Plaintiffs to come to this Court, under the Deed of
Purchafe, or the trolls thereof, fuch ground had been
completely waved by thenifelvec, previcrufly to the
eleeli.,n, by certain refulutions regulating the elec-
tion, paffed at a Veil? y, compofed of above moo
perfons, and which both candidates unanimously fort
round to every parifhiOner, without a tingle indivi-
dual tiadiug fault with, cr objeding to ;:ny one of
them.

Tile CHANCELLOR I)cing of this opiLion, difmiffed
the information, with coits.

COURT OE KING'S WINCE', JUN:: s.

This caufe came on a fecond time before tlic
Court, upon fpecial argument. The qucflion was,
-I.betlier a volonta:y conveyance was avoidable un•
der the Statute of Elizabeth ?
_ _

The cafe was arguedat great length,and with much
ability and learning, by Mr. MARRYATT, on the
part of the Plaintiff, for (citing alide the deed ; and
by Mr. Sz..rjeant S:IEPIIERD, in fupport of it. The
latter Gentleman contending that voluntary convey.
ances were not confec,uently fraudulent, but might
be taken as eviNace of fraud.. The former advancing
▪ contrart clot:rine.
.1 lie Court conflclering it a cafe of very confider.
• importance, as it inwlved many authorities
aged upcn, deferred their final judgment for
• day.

The ArrottNEv GENERAL applied for a Rule to
fct the nonfuit in this cafe. The affirm was
brought upon a premiffory note, and the words upon
which the quctlion arofe were, " I promire to pay,
&c. acconet of fuhfcription received for my
Principles of Geography." At the trial thefe wordc
were held not good, the declaration Rating that he
made this promice to pay " for value received." The
ullfgation eras, that he promiCcd to pay fu much

money ft'r value received. It was not neceffary, the
Learned Coonftl obferveel, to let out this pare icularly.
only generally, the promife was to pay for a thing of
value, and the gireilion was, whether that was fuffi-
cient to tati,fy the allegation in the declaratioa ?
rd ELL E% BIROUG fl laid, he recolleEte2 a cafe at
ta here an action was brought for the copy
right if a book, and it tamed nut, upon the evidence,
that in f.,et the book was worth nothing ; the calcu-
lations it contained were found to erroneous, it could
not be made ufe of. •' This cafe (laid his Lord(hip)
may be like many other fubfciiption cafes, where
names are frequently put down, but very little value
receivt ; lnwever, take a rule to (hew caufe."

CITY OF NORWICH.

! Mr. WiLsoN moved for a Rule to (hew tank, why
an information, in the nature arra euarranlo fhould
not be granted, requiring Mr. Samuel Mitchell to
Ihew by what authority he claimed to exercife the
office of one of the Common Council of the city of
Norwich. The Corporation of this city is tompolld
of a Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, Common Council,
• and feveral Freemen. The Common Council are
elated from the four great Wards, and by the 9.11
George I. the freemen who vote for them take a
certain oath. By a fubfequent Ad of the 3d Geo.
11. the freemen were to (wear, that they had been
freemen twelve calendar months previous to loch
elation, and for the lati fix months had been inha-
bitants. It further provided, that three per lons were
to be elated by the majority of the votes of the free-
men, ac Common Council for each ward, and there
three were to fill up the remaining vacancies. On
the 18th March tall, the elation came on for three
Common Council men, for the Great Wari of Wi
nar, in the courfe of which, four perrms offered to
vote, and were objeaed to, but afterwards admitted
by the Mayor. The quellion, therefore, was, whether
thee perfons were legal voters, according to hire
flatute ? They were all rubflitutes ferving in the
Norfolk Militia, and had L :en at head quarters with
the regiment upwards of fix months. It appeared,
that although they themfelves were abfent, yet their
wives and families Tended there all the time. The
point then was, whether the word " refident" and
" inhabitant" bore the fame or Jiff-rent meanings ?"
Lord ELLEN Boaour; H—" is refidence required by
the Charter ?"

Mr. WILSON" I believe, my Lord, the word is
' inhabitants.' I don't recolleCt that the word ' re-
frdent' occurs throughout the Charter. But there
never was known an inllance of a Militiaman, under
fuch circumtlances, allowed to vote."

CoUR r...." Take your Rule to Phew caufe."
IinROUGH OF SAL tASH.

Mr. PILL moved fcr a fimilar rule againil Mr.
John Parlby, to (hew by what authority he claimed
to be a free Burgefs of the Borough of Saltafh ;—he
having been elected, and there being but fix elteors
prefent, including the Maycr, three of whom objec-
ted to fwearing him in, while the other three agreed
to it. This WAS contrary to the Charter, as it was not
only ncceff:sry to have the majority on the eleCtion,
bin alfo upon the ccrem .ny of (wearing in. Upon
the foot grounds feveral frmilar Rules were granted
lalt Tetm.—Rule granted.

CoULD v. 11'8504.

The ATTnRNEY GENERAL moved to enter a Non.
fuit upon the ground that the Plaintiff, who was an
indorfee of a bill of exchange, and had, upon the
non payment, given due notice to the DJerd4nt,who
was the drawer, of the default of the acceptor, but
had afterwards agreed to take of the Dt Pendant a
good bill for part of the debt, and a new bill for the
other part, retaining the original bill as a fccurity,
had he made the bill his own and releafed tie drawer.
Lfsrd ELLENROROVCH overruled the obje,ii( n at
Priur, but referved the point.
The ATV,RNEY GENERAL was not prepared tc
argue the cafe much at length, as be expeeed that
the Rule Nifi would be granted without argument,
but be now relied upon the ground that the accep-
tance of a new fecurity from the principal was a re-
leafe of the finely, and cited, as to that point, Rees,
v. Perth gton, 2. "Vey, Jim. 540.
Lot d ELLENB'.ROLIGH withed him to cite a cafe of
a bill of exchange, but he was not prepared to do fo.
The Court granted a Rule Nyi.
Ls:row v. PHIPPS.

This cafe was in pact heard yelierday. It was a
Rule calling upon a Mr. Rufhworrh, an Attorney,
to thew caufe why he thould not pay the defendant
his colts, and anfwer the maters of an affidavit.—
It was alledged, that he, having fome difputes with
the defendant and tome othe* Gentlemen, had brought
feveral anions for penalties upon the Game Laws, in
the name of Lenton and Smart, who were both la-
bourers, dependants on him, and incapable of pay-
ing coalls. Lenton having failed in his fuit, it Ap-
pearing that Mr. Phipps was qualified, was taken in
execution for the coils, and then Paid, that lie had
been requelled to commence the fuit by Rufhworth,
who promifed to indemnify him. Smart finding
Lenton only got into gaol by his proceedings, dilcon•
tinned his affirm.

Rufhworth and his Clerk, Mr. Waite and Lenton,
now made affidavits ; from which it appeared that
Rufhwood was regularly retained by Lenton, fo far
as that Lenton iffued an order to profecute the aBion;
hut the manner in which Rufhworth denied his Itav•
ing made ufe of Lenton and Smart for his own pm--
pules, was fornewhat equivocal. He hated in Cub.
(lance, that he did not make ufe of Lemon's name
for his own exclufive benefit, Lut was retained by
him, and irdtead of denying that he had prumifed to
fave 111:n harmlefs, he oLly denied that he had Paved
him hat mlefs.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH laid there were circumflances
which induced the Court to with to have further in-
formation; fir Ruthworth's affidavit was not to pc).
!hive as the affidavits of the other two, although it
appeared as if he had drawa them all, and made
others inn the rifk of perjury, which he would not
encounter himfelf. It might be otherwife, but it
would be better that Mr. Itufhworth thould clear up
all doubts by anfweriiig the matters of the affidavit;
the refidue of the Rule being enlargel in the mean
time.

NON DRSORIPT ANTMALS.-Sir JOHN DOYLE, on
being informed by a traveller that he had been in a
country where the kgs were fn large And fo povverful,
that two of them would drain a rr.,tn's blood in one

EXHIBITION 1807.

14. Children at yay near 'a Sandpit.—Sir F. Bout-
osnis, It. A —Great freedom c f defign is manifelled
in this pieture, and the fky is finely painted, but the
colouring of the figures is unnatural. If the children
had been occupied in wheeling brick-dun, their faces
could not have been more offenfively rubticated.
122. A juthr's Booth, with a Camp, E:fc.—P. J. DE
LovrtrEasoulta, R. A.—Strongly marked with the
peculiar manner cf tl:e artiil : fit mly painted and
brilliantly coloured, but the fcenery ib ideal, and the
figures introduced, though well drawn, excite little
interell.

zoi.. A Rural Scene 6.11 Countrymtn an.' a My
preparing for the Hay Sest:,n.—W . R. Bice;, A.—De-
fignesl wish all that fimplicity for which the pielm ea
of this painter are dilVnguith..td, but he has not im•
proved much in his (file of colouring :—that of the
figures before us is rather cold, and the principal
objects in the pkture want force and relief.
719. Mail and Stag: Co4Eh Paingers at Some.—
J. NIXON, lif(1. H.—Our old acquaintance has here
got together a number of hu moutons lima( ions, inci-
dental to the fubje& on which he treats, and the figures
are very well grouped ; !ant he flill maintains that
gentlemanly independence which enables him to let
all the laws of drawing at defiance, and preferves to
him his legitimate rank as an honorary Exhibitor.
729 Z:neas, accompanied by the Sybil, difivrer.r Dijo
zhades.—T. 1%1. Si P SOI+...—TIIIS is a corre&
drawing, and the defign and compofition of the fribjeft
manifelt an improving mile for the higher purfuits of
the art ; but if Afr. S. will again glance his eye over
the paffage in Virgil, from which he has clinfen his
fubjed, we think he will agree with us, that he has not
marked the features of the injured glleen of Carthage
with all that indignant gloom which the text •of the
Poet fir delicately notices.
655. ihenvinp the Tablet.—J. J. HALFPSNaT.
—This detign is made in imitation of fume of the
ancient Matters, and the forms of the figures appear
to have been Rolm from old prints; but the feleelion
indicates little of talle,nor is the execution very falci
twiny; but being placed in a fitnation where it could,
not eficape notice, we have paid it all due refpal.
252. Jofeph and Mary Rfiging on the Road to Egypt.—
B. It. FlAYDroN.—The drawing and colouring of this
piet•ire is good, but the compofitian is Gothic, parti-
cularly in regard to the Angels feated in a cloud like
two travellers, pis a vit, in a l'oeiahle, and who by
receiving the principal breadth of light, render the
Holy Family lubordinate objeBs. There is no oti-
ginality of Mile in this defign, though we repeat, its
execution is in many parts profeffionally meritorious.
245.* Traveller: Rene fug —J. RISING —This artifi
has made but little pi-ogre:Cs in his protection for a
number si years, though no one, at an early period
of life, exhibited more pronlife. This pkture is ex-
tremely laboured, to little purvfe, as the eflefts
produced are not thofe of timrle Nature, but appear
as the work of Art, rendered incorrigible by abltraft
Rudy. We here fpeak chiefly (fits clial o rf:ira and
colouring. Confidered as a compofition the grouping
t.f the figures is judicious, and the drawing is eorreo.
A Portrait by Mr. Riling, which hangs
not far from
this pieture (No. 2), and which we overlooked in no.
(icing the early nunibers, is equal to the bell of his
for mer produetions.
274. Portrait of Mr. Bide. —T. PHILLIPS, A .
A nother very fine likenefs, and a brilliantly painted
pkture, the merits of which are not much the leis
apparent from its being hung in rather as obicure
fituation.

271. (7; mauich lio.n.:Lat toward.; tl,e River.—Rev.
W. H. CARR, H.— Phis is an attempt of a Gentle
than Artill to exhibit his powers of imitafion ; nut as
the difcivle of Nature, but of an old painter. Claude
is his great prototype, who was himfelf an enthufialt
of the beautiful phenomena of terrehrial creation, of
which we fee here little I efemblance. The fcenet y of
the piaure is not that of Greenwich and its neighbour-
hood, and the colouring is not Engin. Even the
Ilup introduced is a Claude built veffel. We advife
this amateur, who really learns to underhand forme
thing of painting, to try again ; but inflead of la-
boning to produce Italian effeas on Britilla ground,
ltt him take a few leti..ns from Nature beach; and
the will let him into more of the fecrets of which
Claude was in polfellion, in a year, than he will make
himfell matter of by poring niter old canvatles for half
a century.

495. Fruit.--C. CRANM CR.—The produaion of
Old Charles, one of the porters at the Acad.-my ;
real! painted with a corre4l eye to nature, and fi9illied
with mu'h delicacy of pencil.

543. Mr. Matthew: and Mifs Mellon in Me School for
Friends.—S. Da WILDE.-Mr. De Wilde maintains
hi. reputation as a theatrical portrait painter—thefe
charaecrs exhibit extremely good likenelles of the
two performers, but they are fet (tape refemblance;.
There is no fancy difplayed in the delign, or any vi-
vacity in the colouring. A precife outline defines
every object in the picture, and a cold grey tint per-
vades the whole.

554.—Mr. Simmons at jonailan Oh!, Z:rl. •••••SAME
ARTIST.—There is more animation in this figure
than is perceivable in either of the above. The fea-
tures are marked with all that forced expteaion
which diainguithes the exertions of the aetar, border-
ing upon caricature ; meanwhile the likenefs is well
preferved. This is not a better coloured pidure than
the preceding.

548. Regulus, when Frifiner from Carthage, rtsje<c:lng,
the intreaties of his Iliffe and the &nate to enter Rome, &c.
—H. SINCL6TON.—The compofition of this pia ure
is good, as is alto the general defign, bat we are not
altogether pleafed with the exprcffion given to the
face of the great Roman, inafrnuch as in it is mixed
more of the agonifed hufhand than the inflexible pa-
ttiot. The face of the matron is delicately painted,
but lofes half its animation by being thrown into
profile. The maff.:s of light and (bade are u ell dii.
pried in the wot k, and it is coloured with much force,
frelhnefs, and warmth.

552. Portrait of Lord Coehranc.--P. E. STROEN•
LlNG.—This is a good likenef,. His Lordfhip is re-
prefented as adlively occupied in his proteffion on the
quarter deck of his flip, whete he has always ap•
peared to advantage. The figure is a whrle length,
Ipititedly drawn and well coloured, as are all the fur.
rounding localities, &c.
