Tea MORONI or Mt. SYLVIA !--Yelterday, at
Bow-lireet, as Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM nit-
sons were fitting, information wri!l)rought to the
Magiftrate that a man named ;fleith,_ an hair-
:lfer Barnes,

Magifirites at Guildhall, charged by The Mallet
of a Tavern, in the City, with attempting to leave
his houfe after seeping there, and thinking a bot-
tle of wine without paying his reckoning, and
with drawing his (word upon the wiLiter when he
attempted to flop him. It appeared the young
man was in a Rate of intoxication, and did not ex-
sally know what he was abont, and that he had
neither called for the wine nor drank it. He was
accordingly difcharged, bat unfortunately for
him the bailiffs had (cent of him, and took him
away.

Friday fe'nnight a perfon of the name of Charl-
ton, belonging to Newcaffle, was (topped by two
footpads upon the road between Ponteland and
that place, one of whom prefented a piftol and de-
manded his money. Charlton feized the piftol, and
knocked the fellow down ; the other clofed in with
him, and was, after a (harp confli&, alfo laid be-
tide his comrade, by. Charlton, who threw the
pillol down near them, and ran off.

On Wednefday night Mr. Booth, of Monkwear-
mouth, was flopped near Fullwell gate, on the
Sunderland road, by a man, who came from under
the arch of a (mall bridge, with a piftol in his
hand. Mr. Booth turned the piftol afide, and
knocked the ruffian down with his (lick, and rode
off towards the gate. Two other men came over
the hedge, one of whom fet out in purfuit of Mr.
Booth, but was called back by the other, who told
him his companion was dead.
On Sunday morning lift, between (even and
eight o'clock, there was a very clofe contefled bat-
tle fought in Hyde-park, between one Wilfon, a
patrole, and one Porter, an old watchman. They
fought fixteen rounds, and kept to it very hard
for half an hour. At length Porter, the old watch-
man (who, we are informed, fought very hard for
[ his country, being an old foldier) gave his anta-
gonift a blow that made the patrole give in, and
caufed a loud huzza among the fpeiflators. Wilfon
was only so years of age. The difpute happened
over night, relative to their watching duty.
At Lincoln, on the sth a November, the an-
nual feftivities of the day began, as ufual, by
dragging a bull into the town, about eleven in the
forenoon, amidft the fhouts of all the vagabonds
of the place. The animal being taken to Caftle-
hill, was tied to a flake, and worried by dogs ;
when, after he had been fome time tormented, he
broke loofe and rufhed down the hill. It being
market day, the terrified country people made off
in every dtredion ; and feveral women, with their
butter and geefe, ran into St. Peter's church,
during the performance of Divine Service. The
enraged animal attempted to crofs the Witham,
but failed ; and after remaining in the water more
than twenty minutes, he was again dragged to the
place of torture : here the vi!lim exhibited a
(hocking fpedacle, being extremely lacerated, and,
at four o'clock, he fell down at the Rake and in-
ftantly expired.

In the afternoon of Sunday, the 31ft ult. the
congregation at the parith church of Blackburn
were confiderably alarmed by a noife in the gal-
lery, which they apprehended was falling, and the
greater part flew to the door. The ladies fhriek-
ed ; bonnets, cloaks, aprons, fhnes, &c. were loft
in the confufion. Fortunately no lives were loft
nor limbs broken. A confiderable time elapfed
before it was difcovered that the alarm was occa-
fioned by a woman in the gallery falling into a fit,
and in her fall railing the end of the kneeling
bench, it came down swith fo great a noife as to
fpread a general panic throughout the church.

On Sunday fe'nnight a woman fainted in St.
Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh. She was imme-
diately carried out, but expired in a few minutes.
Early on Sunday fe'nnight a centinel belonging
to the City Guard, Edinburgh, was attacked near
to the Nether Bow by a perfon in a failor's drefs,
who knocked him down, and wounded him fo fe.
verely that he was carried to the Royal Infirmary,
where he languilhed until Thurfday when he ex.
piied. The fellow who perpetrated the deed is in
cuftody.

Friday about one o,clock, P. M. an alarming
fire broke out in the work 'bop of Mr. Buchan,
painter in St. Mary's Wynd, Edinburgh, which,
from the combußible nature of the articles con-
tained therein, threatened dellration to the whole
of his premifes, as Well as to the adjoining build-
ings. Luckily the fire engines were foon on the
fpot, and having a plentiful fupply of water, the
flames were got under in the courfe of an hour.—
The City Guard, and a party of the 42d Regi•
m nt, attended, and were of much fervice in keep-
,
ing off the crowd, b 7 which the fire•men had it in
their power to aft with effcft.

The lodging houfe at Scarborough in which
Lord WM. Goloom and his Lady refided, was a
few nightsago found on fire, and was providentially
difcovered in time to Pave the houfe and family.
