KENT HERALD.

1

At Giulia/3 Rodrigo there was a great deal of bustle ; a
great tinily sick and wounded soldiers, their bandages and
-- clothes still bloody ; every thing seemed in motion. A Spa-
- - nisi) regiment was mounting guard, officers and orderly dra-
goons arriving and departing in all directions—every body
seemed to have something to do and was in a hurry. At last
u e met Lt. Robe of the Horse Artillery, who told us that the
siege of Burgos was raised, and that the army was retreat-
ing as fast as it could ; also that his father, Colonel Robe.
was badly wounded, and on his way to Lisbon for England.
-We waited on the Colonel, who had been hit near the
knee by a grape shot, of which he never recovered, but lin-
gered, suffering great pain, for some years. His son was
killed at Waterloo, after behaving most gallantly : he was a
most promising officer. We stopped that night at Ciudad
Rodrigo, and went on next morning ; but every thing was i
in confusion ; we could get no quarters or any thing to eat;
the roads were strewed with sick and wounded. Not being
attached, we were, in a great measure, our own masters, so
baited to rest, as we found it of no use to go any farther,
and saw the army pass us. such u set of scarecrows was
never seen ; it was difficult to say what they were, as the
men's coats were patched with grey ; some had blankets
over them, and most of them were barefoot ; every step they
took they were up to the knees in mud ; women and sick men
were actually sticking in it; if a horse, mule, or donkey
stumbled, there the poor starved, (I was going to say half-
starved) creature fell, stuck fast, and the baggage had to be
abandoned. A brigade of artillery that had just come from
England was, with cavalry and light troops, covering
the rear. This brigade had left Lisbon but a short time
before, and was in very high order ; the clothing of the
men scarcely soiled, and the horses sleek and fat, made a
strange contrast with the others, especially the company
of artillery that had served in the batteries before Bur-
gos. We at first took the latter for prisoners, as they were
mostly in French clothing, many of them riding on the car-
riages, sick and wounded, drawn some by oxen, and some
by mules and horses. I never saw British soldiers in such
a state. Our Lisbon party here broke up ; I having got
through my provisions, and being without quarters, not
being yet attached, thought it best to go where I could get
something to eat, so returned to Ciudad Rodrigo : to do
this I had to pass over the most shocking roads; they were
in a much worse state than when 1 had passed over them
a few days before, and the number of dead men and animals
that now lay by the road-side, was shocking. I heard
my name called from the ditch, and looking round I saw
an officer lying on the road-side, who had been a cadet
a few years before at Marlow. Some ammunition car-
daps going by at the time, I got him placed on one of
them ; he died that evening, and I buried him soon after,
digging the grave myself, with the assistance of one man
only ; the ceremony was not long nor the mourners many. I
cannot now recollect his name. It had been raining all this
time, and I bad nothing to eat except the nuts I gathered on
the road-side, which I shared with my horse, as he was
nearly as badly off as myself, the grabs and every thing that
he could have eaten being destroyed by the numbers that had
gone on before. We came to a place which n few days be-
fore had been a small commissariat station, where I expected
something, but the commissaries were off, and had burnt
some biscuit. Scene soldiers scrambling for what they could
get, I joined them, and succeeded in getting out half a bis-
cuit, only a little burnt, which was the only regular food I had
tasted for two days. That afternoon my servant found me out;
we had separated in the bustle ; he told mo he had got a
ration of beef and bread for us both, which we eat with great
gusto, though we hardly waited to warm it. I soon arrived
at Ciudad Rodrigo, where I drew proper rations, though
given very stingily, and went on towards Almeida. On my
way I passed a division of the sick from Salamanca hospital.
Many of them were in carts drawn by oxen, jolting over
rough roads, the poor fellows screaming at every jolt ; such
as were able were obliged to walk, some with their hands
bandaged up, others with arms in slings, many fainting by
the way, exhausted and lying down to die. I remember two
Portuguese soldiers leaning against the same tree : one of
tbem looked so miserably at me, that I got off my horse to
give him some rum out of my canteen : he muttered some-
thing and pointed to the other than, who I supposed was his
brother, from what I could understand—he was already dead
in a sitting posture. 1 returned to the first, but before I could
offer my canteen he fell down by the tree dead.

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH

In contemplation of a dissolution, the electors of the county, and the
various represented towns of Kent, are already engaged in busy specu.
lation, if not in actual preparation, for returning lletorm Candidates.
Sir Edward Knatehbull will certainly go out. His friends will do well
to advise him to withdraw, fur every part of the county will be in active
combination to replace him by a gentleman pledged to a reform. In
another column we have pointed to various individuals who are talked
of as likely to be put in nomination. To these we may mid the name
of the late Iligh Sketiff, E. Rice, Esq. who is in favour of the bill. In-
deed there can be no doubt of the success of any candidate of adequate
respectability who is decidedly of liberal principles. Fur Canterbury
the two.present Members arc secure beyond all doubt. At Dover the
Liberal and Government interests will return two Reform Candidates.
The present members for Myth:. are safe, identified with Reform as
they now are. In Sandwich, Maidstone, and Queenborough, the
Liberals arc on the alert. Kent will do her part, if the struggle come,
Jqwerds securing the great object of an united people's wishes.
Gri Monday evening a respectable meeting of the friends of the Har-
manic Club was held at the Shakepeare Tavern, in this city, attended
by most of the instrumental and vocal performers of the Catch Club.
Messrs. Sloman, Harrison, Mended', and Shoubridge, greatly contri-
buted th the harmony of the evening. The healths of Mr. Sloman and
his company of performers were drank with enthusiasm.
On Saturday the following superior officers visited Chatham Yard in
A government steam vessel.—Sir Thomas Hardy, (Admiralty) ; Ad-
petrel trundas,. (Navy Board) Honourable Captain Elliott, (Secretary to

It. Seppings, (Navy Board) ; they also went from Chatham to Sheer-
ness Yard. several large drips in the dock yard arc being cut down to
Hawes, which are vessels shallower than those usually built.
The High Sheriff B. Powell, Esq. convened a meeting of the free-1
3141ders and inhabitants of the county of Kent, on Thursday last, in
compliance with a requisition signed by Earls Darnley, Radnor, and
NVinchilsea, Lords Barham, Sondes, and Clifton, Sir J. Tylden, Sir
W. Cos way, and about fifty of the most respectable and influential gen.
rlenien in the county. The meeting was, as usual, appointed to be
holden oo Penenden Heath, but in consequence of the unfavourable
state of the weather, was adjourned to the High-street, Maidstone, at
which place, by one o'clock, about four thousand persons had assem-
bled, amongst whom we noticed the Earls Winchilsea and Radnor,
Lord Blalion, Sir J. Tylden Sir W. Cosway, T. L. Hodges, Esq. M.P.

grant he is right.

The Richmond' mustered strong; Lord George Lennox mak

manner in which he tore to pieces the doctrines of the asustoraw

' —Just before the commencement of the meeting, a stage coach, laden
inside and out with reformers from Brighton, drove up to the County
Hall. Two men on the coach bore the Brighton town flags, which
were speedily fixed at each extremity of the hustings. The reformers
wore purple favours on their breasts, and the hones were similarly de-
corated.

BRIGHTON WATES Woaks.—No improvement that has been made
in this town will add more to the general comfort and convenience of the
inhabitants than this undertaking. Independently of the important ad-
vantage of a resource in case of Ste, Brighton, when supplied from the
Fulking and Poynings springs, will have as fine and as healthy a qua.

In consequence of enquiries by the Secretary of State, a magistrate
Mr. Milford, has informed his lordship, that, in the country parishes
and villages, he had heard, from good authority, that beer-shops were
productive of pernicious and demoralizing consequences; and tlmt, as to
the expectations entertained previously to the passing of the bill, that
the new shops would sell home-brewed beer, such expectations were
not realized in this town, where all the shops (120 In number) were,
without exception, supplied by public breweries ; and that the beer
supplied was, compared with the price demanded by the retail venders,
of a very inferior quality.
East Sussex Bunt Races took place on Levee Race Course on Mon.
day last. The hill was well attended; there being several gay equi-
pages, a small body of wellmounted equestrians, and a large concourse
of spectators on foot. The ball at the Star Inn, Lewes, in the evening.
was attended by between two and three hundred persons, comprising all
the. beauty, youth, and Sudden of the town and neighbourhood. During
the evening some beautiful fire-works were exhibited by Mr. Jones, in

rited and expensive contests for the honour of representing the borough)
and Sir C. Blunt.
On Tuesday afternoon last, as the Arundel and Bognor branch-
coach was leaving the former place for its destination, it had scarcely
left the town, when the pole of the coach suddenly broke, and the driver,
Mr. G. Cross, (a steady and experienced man) thereby Irsing all com-
mand of the horses, they started pai
off at full gallop, and soon overturned
the vehicle. Unfortunately at the moment the coach fell, a gentleman,
connected with the Earl of Arran's at

violence on his head, was killed on the spot. Another of the outside
passengers bad the small bone of his arm fractured.

Yesterday, the match made by Mr. Cox, of the Ram Inn, in this
town, to gallop • hone, carrying I I stone, 20 miles, within the hour,
came off on the Kettering roiM, adjoining the race course, near this
town. This feat, believed to be unequalled in the annals of racing,
was performed by Mr. Cox's brown man, and rode by the owner. Mr.
C. started from the mile stone near the race ground gate, rode to the
tenth stone at Broughton, and returned to the starring place, cleverly
winning the match, with about half minute to spare.

The first Liverpool Cetnetry was opened in 1826, at an expense of

At Manchester a cemetry was opened in 1821, at an expense of 80001

to inclose 5 acres for the Plymouth and Devonpon cemetry —and the
present estimate is 70001. Upwards of 2000 persons are interred yearly
in the three towns—if therefore one third are interred it will produce at
the Liverpool prices about 17001. per annum.

lane, Bolton, en the body of the Rev. Mr. Barker, Minister of
the Ebenezer Chapel, in Bolton. It appeared that the deceased was
on his way to Manchester by the Fair Trader stage coach, on the 12th
ult. which was upset near to the Gravel-hole, in Great Lever, by which
he was so shockingly bruised that he died on Saturday week. It was
proved the driver gallopped the horses the whole of:the way from
Bolton to the place where the accident happened, when one of the
wheels came off. The coach ran on three wheels to a considerable dis.
Lance, and after it upset was dragged upwards of twenty yards by the
horses. The Jury, sixteen in number, unanimously returned a verdict
of manslaughter against Peter Jones, the coachman, who has since been
apprehended. The coachman himself was seriously injured, and the
constable of Hulme, who was also a passenger, now lies in a very pm.
carious state. Mr. Barker was 35 years of age, and has left a widow
and four children, one of whom has been born since the accident hap.'

KENDAL FIRST SPRING FAII.-0/1 Tuesday week, the show of
cattle was not large, nor the dealers numerous, but prices were good.
We may fairly state, that the value of cattle, within the last six months,
in that part of the country, has risen from 30s. to 40a. a head. The
low In sheep during the late storm,, has been considerable, and mutton
is deficient both in quality and quantity; hence the ready demand for
fat cattle, and the high prices given for them.
At the late enquiry before the Committee respecting the Liverpool
election, an out.voter, upon being asked how much he received, said

lie down upon but • bench of wood of about a yard broad ; that he
had been confined therein fifteen days, and was discovered by a person
(who was appointed to consign another wretched being to the same den)
lying naked on the stone floor, which was covered with filth. He was
in a dying state, with &portion of his clothes in his mouth, and he had
been in that state nearly the whole of his imprisonment. In conse-
quence of representations made by the person who discovered the un-
happy man, he was carried about ten o'clock that night to the work.

verdict that he " died from hnnger ;" and in consequence Richard

We are sorry to have to record a fatal catastrophe which happened
on Thursday last, to that industrious and useful class, the fishermen
of Broughton Ferry. On that day a boat, with eight of a sew,
was overtaken by the gale which came on in the afternoon, and in
endeavouring to make land encountered a tremendous sea on the bar
of Tay, by which the boat was completely overwhelmed, and all her
crew perished. The fatal disaster was beheld from the shore, but it
was impos,ible to render any assistance.
