An accident happened on Saturday near this
place, which was neatly attended with very lerlous
confequences. The lion. MARTINI iIA KF, fon
of Lord HAWKE, and another Genzleman, Were
returning from the Brighron Coorfe in a phaeton.
When they got near the barracks at Lewes, the
horles Darted, and let off at full gallop. Mr.
riAWKE, not being able to (top them,jumped out ;
but, rot clearing the wheel, his coat caught in it,
and he was dragged Tome dillance before .it gave
way. Happily no limbs were broken, and though
he was much broiled, the confequences are not
dangerous. The Gentleman who was left in the
carriage was thrown into a ditch unhurt; but the
vehicle was broke to pieces again(' a poD on the
road fide.

Mr.Maarta HAWKE continues much indifpOfed
from the britifes he received. Mr. S—, th • Gen-
tleman in company, was likewife hurt. He re-
ceived a fcratch from the right fide of the neck to
the breaft bone. The wound is painful, but not
dangerous.
Parties are daily made here to go by water to
Portfmouth, .ditlance about so miles ; a boat to
that place is three guineas. This day being fine,
and the wind favourable, many boats have fet fail
thither.

A capital match at billiards was played at the
Caale on Saturday evening, between VANDFIC •
coocK, the marker of the tables, and a Mr. B.—
VANDEROOOCH won. About 7001. were depending.
The Ladies' bathing-machines are in the center,
and the Gentlemen's at the two extremities of the
town. The machines are this year more numer-
ous than ever, in confcquence of an oppofition
called the Blue Machine ; they are at prefent con.
fined to the Ladies. The number of machines
now in ufe are about one hundred.

The Secret Short Nord—Of this new and (Ingo-
lar invention, the Mosiieur exprefles itfelf in the
following terms:—" Citizen BLAN c offers to the
world a myllerious language, which every perfon
can learn, and yet which each learner can keep
fecret to all but himfelf. It appears, that of 400
fcholars, each taking the fame oral leiron from the
preceptor, each may retire and write olygraphically
to his father or his friend, and that non; of his fa.
lowitudents can decypher one fellable of that
which (hall be perfeEtiy underilood by the perfon
to whom it is addreffed."

The Magnificent and pathetic Spedacle of Fair
RVasesond or iroodflaci Bean r, (till holds its power-
ful atrudions at the Royal Amphitheatre, Wea-
mintier Bridge ; and while this fine produßion is
to be witneffed, with the Dance of the Lillie Trader,
las LAND'S wonderful performances, and the Pan.
tomime of Zeixate, a falltionable and crowded au-
dience will be the confequenec every evening this
week.

The driver of a coach on the Chelmsford road
coming to Loudon was yellerday charged before
the Magiftrates at the Public Office, Whitechapel,
by fome Gentlemen, with driving in the moil furi-
ous manner, and in his career running again( a
poft.chaife, whin the latter vehicle was uplet, and
two gentlemen feverely hurt. The coachman
was bound over to appear at the next General Set=
lions at Chelmsford.

Saturday a young man !minting the fecond floor
windows of a honk in Gofwell-tlreet, fell on the
pavement, and although none of his bones were
broken, he was fo bruited that his life is defpaired of.
Yefterday Mamas Jones was brought before Nl-
cmotas Boats, Eft!. at the Public Office, Bow-
fireet, ou a charge of affaulting RISA PASS, a
Captain of an Algerine frigate, and one cf the
fuite of the Turkifh Ambaffitdor, refident here

, The prifoner was one of many others, who,
without the fmalleft provocation, violently affitulted
and ill treated Captain Pass, and another of the
Ambaffador's fuite a few days ago in tile Strand-
as already mentioned in the State Papers. Find-
ing his perfon known, and being a deferter tram
the navy, he had gone and furrendered himfell
(under his Majefty's late proclamation) to the
Regulating Captain on board the tender at the
Tower. This, however, being di:Covered, an Of-
ficer was fent with a warrant to apprehend him ;
but the very fame morning he had been tent to the
guard:hip at the Nore; Mr. Borro therefore made
application to Mr. N , at the Admiralty,
sho jailed an order for his being delivered over
to the Ci v it Power, and he was accordingly brought
to town.

Captain PAII, with his interpreter, attendcs:

And guid'ft the Pilgrim to his home!

Like Shadows on the mountain &Owl
Thus, erer thus, at Day's decline
In converfe tweet to wander far,

Several witneffes were caned on the part of the
Defendant, who ['wore the horfe wits never lame
llom a foal to the time of Isle, which they corn-
pletolv failed in ; for a Mr. 'Fown!hend, Farrier
and Blackfmith to the Defendant, !Sated. he had
'hod the brown horfe once or twice, but could not
iper,k to the Rate of Isis feet for many months
prior to his being fold; confequently did not prove
him found.
Mr. Baccov, one of the Plaintiff's Counfel
ftrongly centisred the Defendant's condui and
cale, in not producing the Blacklmith who thud
him lA, as there was no proof of foundnefs at
the time of his delivery. The Plaintiff's leading
Counfel, Serieant*Vaticaati and Mr. TORKING-
TON, were not prefent at the trial, from their en-
gagements at the Crown end.
The Learned Judge fummed up the-evidence,
and Ilrongly impreffed on the minas of the Jury,
that the Plaintiff's letter to the Defendant amount-
ed to an a•ceptance of the horfe, and recommend-
ed them to find s verdia for the Defendant.

ESSEX ASSIZES.-CHELMSFORD, JULY'23.
THE KING V. MICKLEFIrED AND MILLER,
EAUGGLEKS.

Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD Itated, that this was a
profecution by Criminal Information, again(( the
Defendants Micklefield and Miller, together with
one Edwards, not yet apprehended, for affaulting
a Cullom.Houfe Officer, of the name of Brother-
ton, in the execution of his duty. If the faas laid
before him were true, the airsult was committed
in the mofi abominable and barbarous manner,
and fortunate indeed that the violence ufed by the
Defendants had not been attended with thole con-
fequences which might naturally have been ex-
peaed from it. It certainly had been a matter of
great doubt.whether the profecutor would not have
loft his life,in which cafe both the defendants would
have flood arraigned upon a charge of Murder.
When he had proved the cafe, the jury would fay,
whether this was not a profecution whichhad been
very properly inflituted ? It was highly necefrary
that Revenue Officers fhould be proteaed, and
that chore who refitted their authority Mould be
treated with the utmoft rigour and feverity.
Edward Brotherton Paid, that on the Bth of Sep-
ter, tBOO, he was employed as riding officer to the
Cuftom-houfe, and received information which
led him to a village called Great Clackton. He
got there about ten o'clock at night. About
twelve he law two carts clofe by the road fide,
loaded with calks of liquor, and four perfons ittatl-
ing by them. He had fince feen three of there per-
fon., namely, Macklefield, Miller, and Edwards;
they were dreffed in fmock frocks, and the other
was in a blue coat; he tailed one of the calks, and
11 having fatisfieal himfelf that it contained foreign
Geneva he feized it for the ufe of the King, and
himfelf;' he proclaimed his feizure; the Defendants
ran to the horles' heads, and came round and at-
tacked him ; they (truck at him with Loge flick,
about four feet long ; they (truck him as hard
as they could, and repeated their blows, holding
their bludgeons with both their hands ; he tried
to prom& himfelf with bib flick, but they drove it
out of his hand ; he then took to his hanger, with
which he attempted to defend himfelf.; they (truck
at his hanger, and drove it alto out of his hand ;
finding himfelf thus hard pi-died, he pulled out his
pillol, rode towards them, and attempted to dif
charge it, but it miffed fire ; they retreated at the
fight of the pittul, and ran towards the carts. In
the fcuffle he had loft his hat, and was brify look-
ing ahout for it ; at the fame time the wounds he
had received bled very much. It was fo dark lie
could not fee where the Defendants were. Jolt as
he bad reached the place where he had 101 l his hat,
two of the men came up, and before he could
mount his honk, began upon him with their flicks.
One of them thatched up the piftol he had loft,
and, exclaiming, " Damn him, blow bir hraiiu P'
(napped it at his head. Another (truck him with
his own hanger, and cut him through the hat.
One gave him a blow with a flick on the temple,
which rendered him infenfible. When he recover-
ed, he found himfelf lying between two trees, and
the Smugglers had difappeared with their carts.
He walked down to a public hook about two hun-
dred yards dinant but could not get the people up.
He made the bell of his way home, which was
about five miles off; with a deal of trouble he
reached home at near five in the morning. He
was attended by a Surgeon for two months after.
When he faw Micklefield he was clear he was one
of the perftins who had affaulted him ; he never
had thef leaft doubt as to his identity ; he had not
the fame certainty at firft as to Miller, but he ve-
rily believed he was one of the men.

'Mr. King, the next Witnefs, faid he was a riding
Officer belon&tg to the Cuftom-houfe. On the
morning of dte of September, he was at Bran.
tham, at the Bull Inn, about a mile on the Suffolk
Road. He faw carts and hod-es drawn up in the
yard ; he took particular notice of them, thinking
the cireurnflance fomewhat lingular ; the Landlord
told him they were carts tired for carrying tubs ;
hi was perfeCtly lathfied there had been tubs in
the carts within a very !host time before ; the carts
finelt of Geneva ; the holies were very dirty, and
looked as if they had had a very heavy journey ;
he had teen Mid:Vt.:id driving the fame carts.
Richardson laid he had heard of the attack
upon the Cuftow•houfe Officer. He lived at Ipf-
with, which was 22 miles from Claekton ; Bran-
than) was 18. Two or three days after the affair,
he converfH with Miller, near his own honfc, who
told him he had been over into Vies, %tit!' three
others, after fume goods, and that a Cullom houfe
officer had happened on them on the road, bin that
they had fueeeeded in getting the goods home ; he
aided, that it was a bad job; the witnefs afked
him what h- meant by a bad job ? he replied the
Officer they met had overhauled him, and a bit of
a fk;rmilii had enfued ; but that they had taken his
iword and pillol from him, and he had them then
in his houfe.

The Surgeon depofcd to the fituation of the
wounded Officer when he attended him : he de.
fcrfficd his wounds as large and dangerous. Some
of them appeared to have been given with a (harp

Mr. SCrilarlt BEST Waved, that, in proportion

IS an offence was enormous, it Ina tieteffary that
the proof fhould be clear. If the Defendants were
really the perfons who committed this violent at
fault, they had to thank Gnu they were not (land-
ing at another Bar to anfwer their offence with
their lives ; he was perfuaded the Jury would be
perfeEtly fatisfied of 'their guilt before they con-
vitted them. Except the tettimony of Richardfou
there was no material evidence againa Miller; for
Brotherton admitted he had, from the lira, expreff
ed his doubts as to the identity of that Defendant;
but he fhould Phew that the Profecutor had con.
dueled himfelf in a manner which proved that be
could not identify any of the prifoners. He fhould
(hew that, in the pretence of Lord Chedworth, he
had fixed upon a man of the name of Parifh, and
that when he found he was miflaken lie pitched up-
on another of the name of Trotman with regard
to him be was equally erroneous. He Ihould alto
thew that, fo far from having been certain Mickle-
field was the man who had injured him, he had
been for.hours fpending the •evening in company
with him at a public }mule ; that the filbjett of
their converfatlbn was the treatment he had met
with ; and at that time he had no idea of pitchingi
upon Micklefield. lie defied the Jury to reed-
left that this affault was (fated to have been corn-'
matted on the Bth of September, about 12 o'clock
at night. It happened that the Bth of September
was a very particular day at Ipfwich; it was the'
day the bailiffs were chofen, and gave a dinner to
the corporation. He fhould prove by Parifh, who
had an office under the bailiffs, and was allowed
to invite his friends to the dinner, that it was ab-
folutely impollible the Defendants could have been
in Effex, at the diftance of twenty-two miles from
Ipfwich, at twelve o'clock • for that he had invit-
ed them to partake of the good cheer given by the
bailiffs ; that they had accepted the invitation, and
(pent the whole of the evening with him. If he
made out this cafe, the Jury could have no hefita-
tion in acquitting the Defendants. •
Parifh aated, that he held the office of
beadle of Ipfwich. He corroborated the flatement
of the Learned Serjeant, as to his going to Miller's
houfe, where he found Micklefield, and invited
them to pafs the evening with him, which they
both did. Ile was afterwards prefent before Lord
Chedworth, when Trotman was charged; the pro-
fecutor had alfo fixed upon him.
William Trotman faid, he was alto taken up,
and the profccutor admitted he could neither !Wear
to him nor any one dfe.
Brotherton was again called up, and expreffed
his abfblute certainty as to the identity of the De-
fendants.

French, a confiable, raid Trotman and
Parish had been taken up, not on the information
(dale prolecutor, but of a man of the name of
King, who fufpeaed they might Lave been the
perfims ; of courfe, when Brotherton -raw them,
they were difeharged. Mickleficld abfconded for
two nr three mcnths.
_ _

innock proved that Brotherton, though
in the fame room with Islicklefie:d at the public-
houfe, was not in his company, and had no oppor-
tunify of taking particular notice of him at the
time.

Mr. Serjeant Siirrn FRI), In his reply, °Verve&
that the defence was a molt fliameful attempt to
elude jialiee.
Mr. juilice GROSE rimmed up the evidence ; be
regretted that this cale fhould have e what
was hut too common on the trials of perfons for
alfaulting revenue. officers. They never were at a
lois to find men who mere equally Imugglers with
themfelves, ready to come forward to prove an
dill by perjuring thernfelves. Such attempts great-
ly enhanced the guilt of tit: parties, and would .al-
ways be confidered, when they were brouphv up
to receive judgment.—The Jury immediately pro
nounecd both Defendants--Guihy.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 13.

At the Mires of Kilkenny, on Friday left, A
caufe of contiderable importance m the officers of
