ed at this Office on fufpicion of having flolen a
confiderable quantity of lead, the property of
Mr. Leddard, of Shadwell. The circumilances
which induced the officer to apprehend the prifo-

Rriking was, the prifoner's approach to a bade
noted for the receipt of Rolen goods, and the ex-
traordinary prevarications employed by him at
the time of his apprehenfion. On the examina-
tion, the prifoner being utterly unable to give any
fatisfailory account of the manner in which he
got porcffion of the property in queßion, was
fully committed to take his trial for the offence.

DR A DTA' t. Atrintxr.—An accident of a moll
melancholy nature happened at Southampton on
Wednelday evening lafi, to Lady HARDY, relkt
of the late Admiral Sir CHARLES HARDY :—She
was tiding alone after dinner reading, but falling
I afleep, her head-drefs approached too near the
! flames of the candle, and caught fire ; it commu-
nicated to other parts of her drefs before her La-
dythip awoke ; on awaking, and perceiving her
itn:ut n, the inadvertently ran out into the pat
tge, when the draught of air fo much increafed
the flames, that the was found entirely in a blaze.
Immediate alltlance was at hand, and the was rol-
led up in the carpet, which intlantly extinguifhed
the fire ; hut her Ladyfhip was fo dreadfully burnt,
that the lingered till four o'clock the next morn
ing, in the molt excruciating agonies, and expired.
—Such was the pretence of mind of her Ladyfhip,
when the difcovered her lad Intition, that the re-
frained crying out, lett her elda daughter, who
was in an adjoining apartment, recovering from a
dangerous illnefs, Mould be alarmed. It is very
remarkable, that this Lady nearly met with the,
fame fate twice before; the hall time the was con-1
fined four months from the injury the received from '
are, and which then fo affeeted her daughter, that
her health has • been ever lance impaired. Her
Ladyfhip was in lodgings, but had lately taken a
houfe, which the was furniffung and preparing to
enter when the above catattrophe happened.
A very melancholy circumtlance happened early
on Saturday le'nnight :—Twe Privates of the
3d Lancafhire Militia, now quartered at Sunder-
land Barracks, going on furlough on the road be-
tween Durham and Auckland, were fa benumbed
with the cold, and fatigued, that one of them, who
had 'lagged behind, on entering a public.houfe a
few miles from Durham, and approaching the fire,
fainted away,and intlantly expired ; the other was
found dead near the Park wall of Auckland
Cattle, by a butcher, coming to Durham market.
On Weduefday a coroner's inqueft was taken at
the Stag and Hounds, near Bafingftoke, on the
body of Nicholas Wake, who was found dead on
the turnpike road there. No marks of violence
appearing, the Jury returned their verdia—That
he died by the vilitation of God.
A woman of a decent appearance lately took a
place in the waggon from Epping to London, but
on the road, under pretext of calling on a,friend,
left it, together with her infant child, and has not
fume been heard of. A queflion has arifen on what
pariih the child is chargeable ?
An old woman named Dalby, who for upwards
of thirty years had fold laces and pincuthions about

bn Thurfday the 22d ultimo, there was a• grand
ploughing match near Huntly. In confequence
of the Marquis of Huntly having fignified his in-
tention of breaking ue fome fields to be put under
crop, the tenants of the Aught-mei-our(' voluntarily
tendered their Cervices. Two hundred ploughs
flarted, and finifhed (one correfpondent fays) 6o
acres by two o'clock, much to the fatisfietion of
the judges appointed by his Lordfhip. It was fup-
pofed there were more than 800 horfes and black
cattle on the field. His Lordfhip gave premiums
to the 13 bet ploughmen, in the following order
of merit-1. Mr•Geckie, Bucharn, his bell plough-
man. a. Mr. Grant, Wellfeat, ditto. 3. Mr.
Graffie, Faichill, ditto. 4. M. Geckie's fecond
man. 5. Mr. Paterfon, Huntley, his fervent.-
6. Mr. Davidfon, ditto, ditto. 7. Mr. Allan, dit-
to ditto. 8. Mr- Gordon, Coclarchy. 9. Mrs.
Bell, ditto. to. Mr. Macom, Broadland, ditto.
tt. Mr. Geddes, Diaddoch, ditto. 52. Mrs. Alex-
ander, Bagifpro, ditto. 13. Mr. Pattilo, Cairn-
hill.. Afterwards about fifty of the principal far-
mers dined with the Marquis at Hunt'', Lodge.
On Tuetday fe'nnight a cafe of a tingular na-
ture came before the Magiftrates of GLifgow,
relative to Thomas Kidd, heddlc-maker, an old
infirm man, who refided in tie Bridgegate, Glaf-
goys, in circumftances apparently of the utmoft in-
digence. For fome time pall he had received con-
fiderable affiftance both from the Town's Hofpital
and South Sefton, though it was difcovered that
he had a few days before drawn from the different
banks in Glafgow no lefs than zeol. tierling. Ac-
tions were ratted againft him by the Clerk of the
Hofpital, for reffitution, and the Procurator Fifcal,
for a fraud, and the cafe being clear, decree went
against him in both. The poor wretch, in the ago-
nies of avarice, in vain pretended that the money
he had juft drawn from the banks, belonged to his
fon in Jamaica, to whole agent he had tent it as Coon
as drawn, and that it was now beyond his reach.
That he had a friend to lend him enough to repay
what he had received from the Hofpital and the
Sefton, which amounted to near nine pounds, but
that he was utterly unable to pay the fine of five
guineas impOted upon him for the fraud. He was
committed to jail, and in a fhort time the calls ap-
peared, and he was difcharged in order to go in-
to baniffiment from the city and royalty, which
was alto part of the lenience againft him.

what wa. wale, my Eyes k.•TCW weak and fu that I
could (caw difcmn any objodt, if ever fo dole to me, and ca.
preked nothing leis than the total loft of my fight.--From a l'a.ut,
healthy, rad rather corpulent man, I became a mere Ihadow,
and au objedi of pity and couppedion..-My friends bad all given
me over, and thought my recovery impolfible. In dd. dreadful
Rate, and cap:ding every minute to he my lan hi tkis world.
I was fortunately recommended by a neighbour to try your
