Tilde Races were attended by a great deal of fa-
thionable company from cheltenharn, and the fur-
1-minding villas, with which this beautiful part of
Glnucencriliire and the borders of Worcellerihire
abounds. There was molt excellent fport, and every
thing went off with great eclat. Tilde races bid fair
to be the Silt in this part of the country, which the
well known laterality of the Steward, RICHARD
CR rs•irtli.r., Efq. will always enfurc. He has kindly
taken the Stewardlltip next year.

The Earl of Landaff met with a ferions accident
IA week, on his dime near Tralce, in the county of
Tipperary. His Lordfhip being on horfeback, the
horfe took fright, and threw his Lordfhip, by which
accident he broke one of his legs, and received feve-
ral other fevcre bruifes. Medical affittance being
immediately called in, after letting his leg, on the
:allowing day they lacerated the parts alTrEted, and
abfiraeled a quantity of congealed blood, which we
are happy to date, had its defile.] eifeft. His Lord•
!hip is now in a fair way of recovery, and out of
danger.

A very genteel dr^.fed man, apparently a foreign-
er, was left by the tide on Monday, about one o'clock,
oppolite,the Mitre public hotafe, Standgate. He ap-
peared to have lain in the water about four days.—
In his pockets were bank notes to a confiderable
Amount, but nothinp, which could lead to a difcovery
of his name or connexions. The body was conveyed
to Lambeth Workhoufe.

A few days ago, it painter of the name of Smith,
being engaged In .ht painting of White's Subfcrip-
tiun Houle, in St. Jdmes's-fiteet, crated for himfelt
a temporary fcaffold, in order riaint the outride of
a Loge window on the two-pair of (fairs backwards.
Notwithltan.'ing his beiny, cautioned by fume of his
fellow workmen of the danger he was placed in, he
exclaimed, ‘, I km not afraid of my rtck, for GOD
is as (hung below as he is above ;" he had ilardlN
tittered the words, when the boards gave way, and
he was precipitated on the flags in the back area.—
By the fan he broke his right thigh, kfr leg, and
fraeltired his &till. He was conveyed to St. CL:orgess
Hoipital, when he expired in an hoar alter.

On Thurfday morning 'fait a large flack of wheat
was perceived on fire at Mr. RE EVES'S farm -if Bran-I
difh Hall, in the Roothings of Effer, which was en.
tireLy burnt to the ground before the fire eniiines
from Chelmsford couli arrive. A, there is no doubt
that it was wilfully fet fire to, it is hoped that the
perpetrators t)1 fo horrible an art will loon be dices:iv
end, and bruught to c.-indign punifhinent.
Sunday night, about twelve o'clock, a Rack cnn
mining between three and four thoufand faggots was
chi-covered to be on fire, in Mr. J feph Simmond's
brick yard, Canterbury, near the Crofs Keys, in the
Old Driver road ; the night being calmit was fortu-
nately extinguilbe4,_after bmning. the flack in which
it broke out, without communicating to several others
near. The contsgraticm was fo great that the alarm
was general throughout the city, the tops of the
honk, being illumined by the blaze for a conlidera•
ble diaance. We are furry to add that it is furpofed
to have been occasioned by forme incendiaries, as the
fires in the kiln near had been but a Ilion time left,
and were nearly burnt out.

Mate MID Wire.—Tuefday at Marlborough.ftreet,

A curious pugiliflic contca 'mole place a few days
agn at Briflol, between two females, which lalted for
upwards of fifty minutes. One of them was raid to
be the filler of a celebrated bruifer, and was fecon-
ded by her mother ! She was, hotvever, at length
obliged to yield to the- Itiperior fltill or Itrength of
htr opponent. Both the combatants ...Fere much
fcratclied and bruited, and their drefs a good deal
difordered.

Wednefilay a pagiliftic conteft took place at Met-
ton Grove, between O'Donnel, a wheelwright, and
one Slade, which, after a conteft of one hour and
1.3 g minutes, in which a great deal of what is vulgar
ly called feience was,firewn, terminated in favour of
the former, who, notwithitanding•he exhibited many
trophies of his antaganitt's Mill in his perfon, difpla y-
ed his hereifm by challenging another boxer to an
iuftant trial of dull, which was, however, declined.

Surrey •place, Kent-road, have been broken open, and
the fiddler, bridles. and hunch, tiolen therefrom ;
it WAS fortunate the haslet were turned out to grafs
that evening.

Monday morning the honfe of Mr. Shaw, auc-
tioneer, on the SAdlergate bridge, Derby, was en.
.tered by mewns of a pane being taken from a window
I,in the b.tcic premifes, and the cafernent opened,.
' through which various articles of plate, two watches
• -
and a quantity/of wearing apparel, were coneeyed.

The profits arifing at prefent from that office are
fo uncertain, that it is impoffible for the moll careful
man to fay I fhall make the fum expected to arife
from a fhip of a certain rate: he may unfortunively
have a bad Ileward, or indeed a bad Captain : in the
latter cafe, if lie is determined in the vulgar phrafe
tofaucat th:pulfir, he begins the attack, the necetfaries
go to wreck, the officers and (hip's chmpany tAlow
the example, and the only remedy the Putter has, is
either to leave the Ihip, or to perf❖vere and ultimately
to go to goal. In order to remedy this,l would propnfe
to difcontinue the eighth.: now allowed, and to dia•
Walt an annual Wary agreeable to the rate of the
(hip; and infield of giving the neceffat y mcney to the
Putter, I would propoie that Government found the
neceffarie,t; and I can prove that it can be done at a
lets expence than the money now paid to Pullers for
that purpote. This would put it out of the power of
the Captain, Officers, or men, to injure them, as a
certain all twance would be then given agreeable to
the TAIe of the Ihip, which many Purgers of expezi-
ence cnuld eatily afcertain. Another harelthip i,, that
Puffers have nothing to look forward to, when they

From licknefs or other eaufes above-mentioned, is
obliged to leave his fhip, he malt then apply fora rotten
Ihip in ordinary or a prifon (hip: this is the only te-
nure he has, probably, to fupport a numerous family
for a few year: the is then broken up, and the Parfet
is difcharged from the Navy, after lie if:, from long
fervices and old agt, rendered incapable of getting
his bread in any outer way. To r.medy this, I would
propufe that Porters, the fame as other officers, timid
be allotted half pay, agreeably to the dates of their
original warrants, ana liable to be called to fuck !hips
on their being put in commillion, as the Admiralty
might think proper, but not to ferve in led. rates
than they had formerly done ; and entirely to fialidi
the fyfiem, that Stewards, their Mates, and Coopers
Ihould be allowed a decent falary, and a fmall pre-
tnium, agreeably to the balance bill produced
this would !Emulate them to do their duty ttri6tly,
and be et great laving to Government. I am confi-
dent that if thefe regulations are adopted, it will
make Purfers refpeeable without fword or uniform.
By inferting the above in your ufeful paper, you
will very much oblige a conltaut reader, and
