Yesterday, by order of the Right Hcm..the 14111.
MAYOR' the prisoners in the Compter, Newgate, and
Ludgate, received each one pound of meat, one pint'
of porter and a three-halfpenny loaf, in addition to
the increased allowance of bread, meat, and coals,
given them by the City of London.
" Dr. Syntax," after making the tour of every
Library, public or private, as an octavo, has set out
on a new excursion in the incognito of a 12nro. and as
he possesses all the attractions which formerly gave
him a welcome wherever he went, we doubt not but
that in :his present garb he will be equally acceptable.
Indeed, we think muchpraise is due to Mr. ACKER-
MANN, for publishing "Dr. Syntax's four in search of
the Picturesque," at a price which places it within the
reach of ;tll classes. The Engravings have all the
spirit of the original Edition.
It was said of a man who married a very great
beauty, but whose character was much blown upon,
that in this match, when he opened his eyes, he had
shut his ears !
Saturday night, about eight o'clock, a hare was
seen running along George's-street, in Edinburgh,
from the west, pursued by a number of dogs, of
every species. The poor animal squatted down be-
hind a lamp-post, in Castle-street, where it was taken
without resistance, by a person passing, and died,
seemingly with fright, a few minutes alter.
Saturday night last, at a late hour, a party of
keepers, on the estate of Mr. WADDINGTON, of Caven-
ham, Suffolk, encountered in their rounds, a gang of
poachers, who instantly fired, and discharged a volley
at the keepers, who returned the fire, and closed upon
the marauders. There were nine of the poachers,
and ten of the keepers. A desperate conflict ensued,
which terminated by six of the former being secured
and conveyed to jail. Some severe injuries have
been sustained on both sides, but none likely to lead
to fatal results.
Saturday last, Major Rostsrsow, a gentleman well
known in the fashionable circles at Brighton, met
with a fatal accident at Kingston, is Surrey, by the
overturning of his gig. The Major was so severely
injured, that he expired in a few hours.
The London and Edinburgh mail coach, in its
journey northward on Tuesday morning last, was
thrown over near Thirsk, in consequence of the
scrapings of the road having improperly been left in
heaps, which had become hard frozen. With one
of these heaps, the wheels of the coach came in con-
tact, and so the accident happened. The guard was
severely hurt in the back; the coachman and a gentle-
man who was the only passenger, escaped unhurt.
The ice-houses at Newcastle were provided with
their winter stock o,a Saturday and Monday last,
when the frost was so intense as to stop the navigation
of part of the Tyne above bridge; and if it had con-
tinued much longer, would have given the keelmen
an involuntary extension of their holydays. Fortu-
nately, a change occurred on Tuesday, and the navi-
gation has since been free.
A Gentleman at Cranbrook, on Friday, the 13th
instant, had a large turnip brought to his house, as a
present, and which he conceived to be intended as a
joke, but on making an opening into it, he had the
pleasure of finding two brace of partridges, and a
couple of rabbits, packed in the inside of it.
An apple-tree, furnished with leaves and fruit,
known by the name of French Codlins, and as large
as a chesnut, is now to be seen in the neighbourhood
of Brighton.
A dish of green peas, grown in the garden belong-
ing to 'Mr. SMITH, draper, situate at Crooks-moor,
Sheffield, were gathered on Thursday se Knight.
In Sir CHARLES ooLes garden, near Winchester,
strawberries, French beans, cucumbers, and aspara-
gus, may now be seen in the highest state of perfection.
Tuesday morning, at the Mains factory, near Car-
lisle, a woman, named Foulton, was dangerously
wounded in the face by a leaden ball from a small
cannon, fired by a boy about fifteen years of age.
The lead entered her forehead between her eyes, and
for some time her life was considered in great peril;
but she is now somewhat recovered, though still in
danger of losing an eye.
Wednesday, as John Mountain, of Shelley, and his
two sons were at work in a coal-pit there, the roof
gave way, and buried all the three under the fallen
rubbish. After a continued labour of seven hours
the two young men were extricated from their peril-
ous situation, without having received much injury;
but the father was found a lifeless corpse.
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated No-
vember 2:—" Since I wrote to you last the fever and
black vomit have, if possible, raged with augmented
violence, and have been more deadly in their effects,
baffling the skill of the most eminent physicians;
n hole families have been swept away in the course
of a few days, and in several cases absolute visible
mortification has taken place before life has been ex-
tinct; such is the dreadful putrifying state of the air
at this place. The atmosphere is one mass of infec.
tion. Still, notwithstanding this, you see no alarm,
no apprehension for the consequences. As soon as
the-breath is out of the body of a person, he or she is
placed in a ready made coffin, hurried off to the
grave, and when covered, you hear nothing more.!
Death, in fact, has completely lost its terrors, and
business is totally at a stand. The fever•continues
in Pensacola ; but as that place has lost nearly all its
American population, there-2re but few subjects left..,
Some French and Spaniards have died, and their
children, generally speaking, have fallen victims.
The principal part of those wilts are preserved consist
of those individuals who fled to the woods for safety.'
