CIIILWORTX, Nov. 14.100.
" All the Amen about this neighbourhood an thrown into a state of
the greatest alum, in consequence of numerous fires having takes place
la this pat dismay, similar to those in Kent. Last night there were
two—ens within MU a mile of Guilford; It was a hayrick, belonging
to Mr. Mesa Miss. which was destroyed. The other was at Al.
bane. abent two miles from hence; the corn-mill, stabling, and out.
huddle.. sampled by Mr. Franks, were completely burnt to the
pound. The men who set the place on fire staid until they saw the
=in a complete blase, and prevented the owner from leaving his
endeavour to extinguish it, by firing loaded guns at the win.
I dews and doors, which, I understand, are very much malted by the
oboes. The engines, from Guilford, arrived in time to save the dwelling
house, although close to the mill. Sawa farmers have had threatening
letters sent to them, and I need not say they are in a state of the
rbalarm possible. One are I saw. and am now going to look at
veftiger of the other.
Yours, most obedienty. H. 11.
" P.B. I have learnt that there was a large fire at Cobham. It is
said that a fann.house, with all its appendages, has been completely
destroyed."
On Tuesday morning, as the Manchester and Leeds mall was
coming oat of Rochdale on its way to Halifax, the alletree broke in
the part adjoining the fore c(.wheel, the concussion from which was so
violent as to throw the coachman, Mark Maw, from his box. The
vehicle, however, proceeded for about one hundred yards, and then
tame down with a tremendous crash. Among the outside passengers
was Mr. Walker, of Leeds, corn.millee, and a female from Krauts.
ford, both of whom were seriously hurt, although, we are happy to
add, no bones were fractured. They have been placed under suitable
surgical care at Rochdale, and, we are happy to add, doing well.
Shaw, the coachman, was alsovery se:lonely braced. It was at first
thought his shoulder was disloeaeed, but this. we kam, is not the case.
He is a steady man, a good driver, and was proceeding at the time of
the accident, at a regular pace. He has been removed to Leeds. where
his family reside, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mande.
villa, the guard, received several contusions, and was nab hurt; but,
although an offer was made to relieve him from his charge, be deter.
mined oot to relinquish it, and almost immediately proceeded with the
bags in a chaise and tour to York, the end of his journey, where be
arrived without further accident. None of the inside
(among whom were George Rawson, Esq. of Leeds, and Jets7Vsgeoer;,
Req. of Bradford) were injured, all of whom, as well as a girl, who
was an outside passenger to Leeds, proceeded to their destination in a
chaise and foor.—HalVer cheaidek.
REDUCTION or Rawes.—W. J. Denison, Esq. N.P. for Surrey,
has recently visited his tkamer estates in Yorkshire, and instructed Mr.
Wilson to reduce the rents thereon to nearly what they were in 1700;
which was done at the receipt at Starner, on the 2d instant, taking place
from Michalek/las, 1829; and on his ether estates remedy purchased, a
reduction In the same proportion, besides an allowance of & year's rent
to his tenants who suffered by the owsflowings of the rivers Hull, Her.
ford, and Derwent, in 1828 and 1822. This is a noble example to
the landed interest, highly worthy of imitation in the present distressed
state of the agricultural tenantry et the United Kingdom, owls( to the
panne of the hal seasons, and other circumstances over which they
have no motrol.—Comety Chronicle.
The statement contained in a morning paper a few days ago, alleging
that a great pert of the furniture in Windsor Castle was collected on the
continent, for his late Majesty, George IV. by his heath emsfectioner
and a French upholsterer, at a met of nearly 200,0001. la incorrect.
The greater part of the furniture used in fitting up the Royal apart.
mem in the Castle was of English manufacture, 'owned by 111
and Seddon, and we speak within compass in seating tFit the coot of the
whole was under the sum above-mentioned. The sidobsard, which was
stated to have been charged at 8,0001. and to have bees immediately
dismisaed as too massive, gaudy, and tasteless, cost, we believe, one.
eight of the sum, was of English workmanship, and wee used, after un.
dergoing some alteration on account of the Gothic heading being
unsuited to the apartment for which it was intended. It is tette, how.
ever, that an old French cont./edema, who had returned to Paris, was in
the habit of sending over occasionally such articles as he thought would
phase his late muter. but they consisted chiefly of old china and orna.
meets of various kinds.— Windsor Repress.
At Bridport, in commemoration of the bill of November, a brilliant
show of tire.works took place. A imp body of the young men of the
town, regularly organised for the occasion, met at the Star Inn : and,
at seven o'clock, accompanied by the band, started and marched thwitigh
the streets, each with a hand-rocket, or Roman candle. The effect was
the grandest ever witnessed here, and the dresses were costly and superb.
The most prominent characters were a Richard IIL and Turkish and
Spanish office's, besides others, whose :grotesque appearance reminded
us of Don Qaiitore, his Squire Sancho, If udibras, and the like. There
were not lens than 2,000 people he the streets, and every window was
crowded with ladies. At half.paat eight the party consisting of about
fifty, sat down to a most excellent supper at the 'bear. We are wry to
add, that an accident of a salsas nature put an end to dot exhibition.
During the supper the fireball was run, and it was assewabsed that a
large weaving-shop la St. ilichaeftWene, the pigmy of Mom
Ewen'. and Golding. was on lire. Time was no mopping the flontio,
and it was burnt to the ground. Several pair of looms and a quantity
of yarns were also destroyed. At eleven o'clock the ire.bell was again
rung; a hand-rocket flew into a window of Mr. Joseph Houneeffs lax

warehouse, in the East-street, and in a mmnent the ciwnbustlble mate.
rial was in a blase; the building. with most of its contents, was entirely
destroyed. The property Ras insured in the West of Ecgland Fire.
office, and the loss is estimated at about 2.00011. During the fire, the
wife of Mr. Edward Patten, tailor (whose house was contiguous), was
removed from her sick bed to the Hey. John where, in conse.
quence of the fright she received, we are sorry to sold, she expired in the
course of the night. She was not considered in danger previously.

Early on the morning of Saturday last, the village of Hamrick, in
this parish, was thrown into a state of great exci,enuilt. in couseqtie: ce
of a diabolical attempt to murkier. The following is a brief esiunt....-
lion of the facts :—On the morning above.men tinned. aloour one o'clock,
three men, while passing the house of Reuben Goodyear. fancy weav,t,
of Hastrick, heard rile% for assistance, as if from a woman's voice. Oki
listening a short time, they heard shrieks of " Murder !" and iimiu..
diately tried the door, which they found shut, but rot fastened maid,
On its being opened, the wife of Goodyer rushed out, in her chemise.
drenched with blood, and clang to one of the men for protection Being
;. neighbour, he advised her to make all baste to his own home; anti
himself and companions proceeded to secure Goodyear. who appeared to
have been the author of the mischief. The poor woman, in her fright
and trepidation, ran towards the man's house. and before she had pro.
czeded far, fell down from exhaustion and Imo of blood, which was
streaming from several wounds on her arm (which she held up to pro_
feet her throat). and other injuries on her person. When taken up, she
presented a horrid spectacle, being covered with gore. She was re-
moved toe neighbour's house, and surgical assistance obtained. l'iie
man was taken before the magistrates on Monday, but as the ',nor
woman was unable to attend, he was remanded to this day for further
examination. We retain, under these circumstances, from going tor.
dui into detail. The unfortunate woman hat borne her husband four
children. On the day preceding the occurrence, Goodyear had been
running after the hounds, and had spent the evening at a public-house.

Many contradictory and exaggerated reports being in circulation re-
Affecting a rencontre between Lord Viscount Gage and a tradesman of
Fide, we have authority to insert the following statement : —Or. Mon.
day last his Lordship attended a public meeting in the village, at which
it was agreed to establish a watch for the protection of agricultural
propery : and to ascertain the efficiency of this arrangement, the noble
lord was pawing on the turnpike road near his park, about two o'clock
on the morning of Tuesday. At this time Mr. Geer was morning
from a vocal party at Lewes, and carried a short stick. On their meet-
ing, the latter, not recognising his lordship, believed he was epeakir o
to a companion, who had come out to frighten him, and, under this
delusion, challenged and turned back to fight. Lord Gage retreated a
few paces, stating that he was armed, and would not engage with an
unarmed man. Unfortunately this was unattended to, and Mr. Geer
continuing to advance in a threatening manner, his 11/wilship retired,
holding out a leaping-pole, with which he was armed, and remonstrating
against the threatened attack. Mr. Geer, however, suddenly seizing
the pole, closed, and 'meek his Lordship twice ; but the effect oi
I which blows his Lordship foiled by dodging, and, by a sudden effort
wresting the pole from his opponent, regained his distance, and again
warned his assailant not to approach, as he would be compelled to strike.
The attack, however, being vigorously renewed, Lord Gage was eon,.
pelled to strike in self-defence. The first blow felled and stunned his
opponent, who was then recognised and conducted home by Lord Gage.
His Lordship immediately sent a surgeon who was in aitendatsce at
Firle Place to the assistance of Mr. Geer. This early attention, it is
hoped, will prevent any ill consequences of a permanent character. The
usual means have been employed, tinder his Lordship's own inspection.
The patient has partially recovered the use of speech. and his friends
Ifeel that, whatever may be the ultimate molt, no blame can attach to
either party in this unfortunate affair.—Snotser Adrerlicer.
