Extra& of a letter from St. Thomas in the Eaff,
Jamaica, dated January 3, 1807, to a Gentleman in
Glaf'ow :
" We have been keeping guard, and the troops patrolling all
over the country, for ten or twelve days paft, in confequence of a
falfe alarm in this parifh. Some negroes had been amufing them-
felves with wooden guns and wooderstwords, and it got into the heads
of fome people that they intended an infurredion. Intimation was
givr.n to the Governor by fome perfon, more afraid than he had oc •
cafion to be, and he ordered a Captain's guard of foot in every
parifh, and half a troop to patrole through the fugar eftates. I
would not have taken notice of this, but I know how things are
magnified at home."
CRIM. CON.—Oti Thurfday fe'nnight, an anion
was tried at Dundalk Affixes, before Judge Fox and
a fpecial Jury, in which JOHN HENRY' of Richardf.
town, Efq. was plaintiff, and the Rev. Mr. MURPHY,
Vicar of Stabannon, defendant.—A young gentle-
man who was a tutor in the family proved the fad
of a criminal connexion in a manner totally unfit to
meet the public eye.—The Jury brought in a verdict
for the plaintiff 4.0001. damages and 6d. coils, to the
entire fatisfadion of the Court and Country.
At the above affixes games Mannin was inclined for
a rape upon Anne Dooley, the wife of James Dooley.
He was acquitted, in confequence of circumflances
favourable to hims and againft the profecutors. The
woman is a ffrong, healthy looking perfun, and Man-
nin is a weak young boy !
A (hoemaker was fined fall week at Stamford, five
fhillingc, for being drunk in view of the Magiilrates.
Poor Crifpin allowed he was a wet file, but declared,
if V ey would pardon that offence, it fhould be his lel .
HYDE PARK.—This place of fafhionable refort was
not fo crowded, yellerday, as on the preceding Sun-
day, fo many families of dillindion having left town
for the holidays; and the coldnefs of the day pre
vented the holiday-folk from difplaying their gay
attire. The few Ladies who did appear, were
wrapped in their velvet peliffes, with the addition of
muffs and tippets, bearing more the femblance of
December, than the approach of April, the harbin-
ger of Spring. In the ride were her Royal Hig4r.
nets Princefs CHARLOTTE of WALE s, in her haroirche
and four, attended by the Dowager Lady De CLIF-
FORD; his Royal Higltnefs the Duke of CubtIIERLANn,
on horfeback ; the Duchefs of SAINT ALBA:es, in
her vis.a vis ; the Earls of Cowpta, Eusrow, and
WESTMOF.ELAND, were on horfeback. Amongst the
four-in hand were Sir JOHN LADE, Mr. Buvroa, and
Mr. Cox. As the latter Gentleman had cleared the
Park Gate, his barouclie came in contact with a hack-
ney coach, when both carriages were upfet, but nei-
ther the company or the driver were injured; Sir
JOHN LADE came up at the moment, and rendered
all the affiftance in his power. There was a complete
flop put to all movements for fome time, from the
number of perfons who affembled. Mr. Cox's car-
riage was no; much injured by the accident.
It is much to be doubted if ar.y future fcheme will
ever equal in interefl that of the prefent State Lottery.
A fufficient proof is its very fuperior number of great
prizes, fince the capitals are almoft the foie objects of
ennfide.ration with the various degrees of adventurers.
No wonder then that four capital prizes of zo,ccol.
f.,ur of co,oool. four of 5,0001. to fay nothing of ten
of wool. and twenty of ;col. fhould now, prove fo
rwerful and univerfal a magnet. The near approach
of the drawing of this momentous Icherne confidera-
bly adds to the force of its attraction.
