The Lady HENRIETTA WALLOP, in consideration
of the reduction in the puke of grain, has signified to
the renters of tithes, in Longparish, Hants, her Lady-
ship's intention to-
make an abatement of twenty per
cent. in their rent due at Michaelmas last.
Last week G. P. huivorse, Esq. of Herriard-
House, Hants, on account of the depressed state of
agriculture, assembled his tenants, and lowered their
rents twenty per cent. and then gave them the option
of quitting their farms if they chose ; but the prop
sal was not accepted, as they wets perfectly satisfied
with the liberal allowance made by their generous
landlord.
Tuesday a man, named Durbridge, who was
passing through Airesford, in a horse and cart, on his
way to \Vinton, with a poor woman who had been
removed by a general order, from London, to her
parish at St. Peter's Chcesehill, in Winchester, he
stopped at the Fox public house, and, to his astonish-
ment, she was found quite dead. A Coroner's In-
quest was held on Thursday. Vcrdict—Died by the
Visitation of Gore—lt appears that the woman was
very ill when removed, and notwidistandiag a sur-
geon had declared it as his opinion she would not
survive the journey, she was removed as above de-
scribed. Such conduct, on the part of parish officers,
cannot be sufficiently reprobated.
A CAUTION TO SERVANT MAlUS.—Saturday mor-
ning last an accident happened at the house of Mr.
F. 1%161, 'Princes•streer,.h-lanover-cquare, which had
nearly proved fatal to his house maid. She had just
lit the fire in the front parlour and incautiously
placed the candlestick with a lighted candle on tie
carpet behind where she stood, when her clothes
coming in contact with the fl ire, immediately enve-
loped the poor woman in flames : in this alarming
state the ran into the hall screaming for the assistance
of her fellow servants, when Mr. Neil, who was then
at breakfast in an adjoining room, hastened to the
spor, when he found the poor creature in the most
imminent danger ; he immediately took her in his
arms and carried her to Cie breakfast room where he
recollected his great co.tt hung on the back of a
chair, and instantly wrapping it round her, foltunately
succeeded in extinguishing the fl.mes, but not betore
the pour woman was dreadfully burnt. It may not
be unworthy of remark, that this is the third person
whom Mr. Neil, through his humane exertions, has
saved front tie jaws of death. His father, through
the same laudable.impulse, and at the risque of his
own life, had rescued that of his most intimate friend
from a watery grave, and hi► grandfather peeisheol in
a similar and equally praiseworthy attempt.
AN ATTEMPT AT ROBCERY AND MURDER. -A
man, dressed in a blue coat, light waistcoat, white
neck handkerchief, high shirt collar, linen pantaloons,
and white stockings, with light features, and carotty
whiskers, about five lcet ten inches in height, called
at the Office of Messrs. Bigg and Son, in Stephen-
street, Bristol, about seven o'clock on Wednesday
night last, and enquired of a clef k, whether Mr. Bigg
was within ? on being told that he was not, he then
enquired, and fund from the clef k, flat he was the
only person then in the Office. The villain left the
Office, and in half an hour after he opened the outer
Office door and stole quietly up stn rs ; the clerk
hearing a noise, immediately went to the upetr
Office, and found the man concealed behind the
door, who immediately kneeked him down with a
large stick, held him to the floor, Ana drew a clasp-
knife upon him, thre.:tening instantly to murder him
if he did not tell him where the money was. The
clerk having relescd, he cruelly beat him, and stab-
bed him with the knee in the arm : a violent scuffle

ensued, when the clerk, having disengaged himself,
got hold of a poker, and with it broke, as he supposed,
die villain's right arm, as he immediately dropped it,
and cried out that it was broken ; the villain then
stabbed him in the breast with his lett hand ;—the
clerk, however, drove him off with the poker ; but,
on running away, the villain threw the knife at him,
which is now in Messrs. Bigg's possession,

Letters by the last maul front Copenhagen an-
nounce the death of the Chevalier I.IZAKEWITE, Mi.
nister there from the Court of Russia, and well known
in the higher circles in London, aged upwards of 70
years. His death is sincerely regretted by a nume-
rous circle, amidst wham i.e had lung resided esteem-
ed and respected. He was many years Secretary to
Count Wonoszow, and was partial to English cus-
toms, which a long residence here had made habitual.
Cheerfulness and hospitality reigned at his table ; but
this conviviality was interrupted When the Emperor
ALEZANDER IlltaSet it needful to oppose Bonaparte,
at the time he took the desperate resolution ot march-
ing to Msscow. The Chevalier, during that period,
lived in the greatest retirement at Malmo, in Sweden.
,At his return to Copenhagen, he was welcomed with
the warmest enthusiasm. Wi,en ti.is noble-hearted
Russian is thiught ef, we must ever recall to tu:nd
his benevolent and amiable dispilitien.

that it has a Galvanic influence on the Nerves. The

induced an Eminent Physician, of the Metropolis, to
publish particular directions for employment of it.
