exports from this country amounted to 34 mil-
lions, and the Imports to 28, in rouhd numbers.—
The following lift, therefore, however correct as
far as it goes, mutt be confide:Tel as very deficient,
as it takes no account of the trade with countries

Yellerday advice was received by Mr. Box° in

bury, in Wilts, acquainting him that he had com-
mitted •
yams, 8.4 to Marlborough gaol, who, in
June laa. was advertifed in the Hue and Cry,
charged with robbing the Tring Mail in the month
of May, between that town and Hemcl.Hempilcad,
of the Winflow, Wendover, Aylefbury, Tring, ar d
Berkhempftead bags of letters.* He was fecured,
after a flout reliaance, on Saturday La, :on the
road near Marlborough, and upon him were found
a very handfome brace of pocket piaols, loaded,
marked Danderdale and Mabfon. An accottnt
thereof was immediately tranfmitted by Mr. BOND
to the General Pot Office.

A plan for treeing convenient apartments for
the Gaoler of Newgate, Dublin, and alfo tor in-
fulating that prifirt, has been fubmitted to the
Term Grand jury, by Mr. Archer, Infpalcr Ge-
neral of Prifon3, and received their approbation.
The work is, we underhand, to be immediately
coknmenced.

A MOST SINGULAR "ACCIDINT.—Monday about
three o'clock, as a hackney coach was palling
through 01J Bond-fireet, oppofite Mr. Aters's,
the taylor's, the roof of the common fewer gave
way, and the two hind legs of the off hand horle
fell into the cavity, which funk the animal to the
bread, but when the coachman attempted to cut
the reins, he fell to th bottom of the common
fewer, being at kali 13 feet deep, where he re-
mained from three o'clock till fix in the even-
ing, in which he hood up to his belly in a flrong
urrent of water. After clearing away the rub.
bith, means were formed by eraddleing the huge
with ropes, to drag him out head forernoft ; the
pair-age being made near three feet wide, which
was only two feet (even inches when he fell in.

Mopday evening, an infant, about fix weeks
.a gas found lying upon the deps of Lady Are
)lEass-?o door, in Hill-ftrcct, with a bundle of
linen by its fide; the child was immediately taken
to the workhoufe ; and it is hoped the inhuman
wretch who left it in that diflrelfed fituation will
be difcovered.

Lafl Monday evening a fine girl, about five
years old, daughter of Mr. Daws, plumber and
glazier, at Bereham-lirect, in the ahfencc of her
mother, drank frcni a bottle which was placed
within her reach in a cupboard, about a gill of
