The long depending treaty between the Bishop of
BATH and W4m.s, and the Earl of COVENTRY, re-
, specting the renewal of a lease, dependent on the life
of his MAJESTY, for which the former required a fine
of 530,000, is at length compromised, by the former
having become the purchaser of the Earl of Coves:-
altv's lease, for the sum of ten thousand pounds, and
having in consequence put in three new lives himself,
skid thus secured to his family this estate worth Je2.500
per annum.

In Ireland the price of corn of all descriptions

Saturday mornitl, as one of the Walthamstow
stagecoaches was.gomg from London, the foie axle-

On the 14th inst. Mr. D. Williams, Mate in com-
mand of the Well cutter, in the service of the Cus,
Toms, fell in with a small smuggling boat, off Port-
land, in which were Six men, who, on perceiving the
cutter in chace of them, were induced to throw over
their catgo, consisting of 46 casks of brandy, uhich
Caiitain Williams picked up ; but we 'are sorry to
add, that, owing to the boat being' without ballast,
she upset, when four of the men out of the six were
drowned ; the other two Captain Williams put on
board his Majesty's ship Tisiphone, at Yarmoutk
The boat, and sprits he delivered to the. Custom-house

rNQU EST.—Tuesday an Inquisition was held at the
TWo Chairmen, in Davies-street, Berk..:ley-square,
upon the body of a man who had lived servant with a
Gentleman upwards of forty years. The Gentleman
stated, in a most affecting manner, that on Saturday
the deceased brought up his breakfast, and, having
placed it on the table, exclaimed, “ I must sit down;
when he fell on a chair, and immediately became
;speechless. Surgical assistance was procured, but the
vital spark was totally extinguished. Verdict—Died
• by the Visitation of GOD.
The 30th ult. Mr. George Atkinson, aged 24,
was found drowned near I)ufton, about four miks
from Appleby.. He had only come from London,on
the Sunday before the accident, and was intending to
Commence the drapery business, in Appleby.
An act of intrepidity was performed at Portsmouth
on Monday sennight, which we have peculiar grAti-
tication in noticing. Three Officers of the Inverness
Militia were in a pleasure-boat, and when sailing be-
' tureen the prison.shiPs, a sudden current of wind upset
~the boat, which, having heavy ballast, immediately
sunk. Two of the Officer's could swim, and thy
kept theniselves upon the surface .until boats took
them up ; but the other was in the imminent
danger of droWning. A French prisoner on board
the Crown, named MoftAyn, die moment he saw the
Officer struggling, jumped off the gangway into the
water, and by putting his feet under the Officer's
body as he was sinking, raised him to the surface,
end then held hint fast till farther assistance was ob-
tained.--A proper representation has been made to
Government, and, no doubt, one part of the brave
fellow's reward will be a release from bis present
situation.
