The probable course will be from Cowes by ele
Needles to a flag-vessel stationed between Lutworth

The grass in the meadows in many of the fields in
the NOrth of England is so abundant, that a crop U
three tons is expected in many parts on each acre.
Saturday Mr. SAMUEL DAVE?, common carrier,
of Chelmsford, was accidentally killed by the cver-
turning of his waggon, near the Plough, at Spring-
field.

Fairlop Fair, notwithstanding the drawback of the
rain, was yesterday as well and numerously attended
by the neighbouring gentry as has been known for a
number of years. No disorder of any kind occurred,
and mirth and jollity seemed to be the order of the
day. On the return of the company, great confusion
occurred in the lane leading from the Forest to the
Angel, at Ilford, owing to a person in a gig breaking
,the rank : many vehicles were upset, but we are happy
instating that no serious mischief was done.
Letters have been received, via Calcutta, from New
South Wales, up to the end of November. The Co-
lony was then all well, and several convict Ships (the
Morley, Glory, Maria, Isabella, and others) had ar-
rived, having made the passage out direct in the short
period of three months and twenty days, and landed
oil their convicts and passengers in good health.—
This may be considered as another, among many
proofs, that the passage is in this way much shortened,
and that it is unnecessary to snake any stay at any
intermediate port.
Brooks, the gamekeeper, who was found guilty a:
the last Suffolk Assizes or having maliciously shot at
C. Bentinck, who, in consequence of the wounds he
received, was obliged to undergo amputation of one
of his legs, has received his Majesty's free pardon, and
was on Friday se'nnight liberated from Ipswich Jail.
SHOCKING MURDER.-An our Paper of Thursday
we ve an account of the murder of a Serjeant of the
Infantry, by a private of that Regiment. The
prisoner was sent to the County Gaol at Horsham.
The Corons Inquest, after examining the body,
was held atae Brewers' Arms Inn, on Wednesday.
Several of the military who witnessed the terrible
transaction, deposed to the effect we have stated ; one,
in particular, said, that on observing Broadbent prime
his musket in the guard-room, he suddenly wrenched
the weapon from him, and dashed the priming out,
expressing his surprise at what he had beheld him do.
Priming, with a soldier, precedes the act of loading
the piece; the witness, therefore, having no suspicion
that the musket eras charged, did not further exa-
mine it. Broadbent's threats to avenge himself on
the Serjeant were heard by the witnesses generally.
The Surgeon confirmed the death of Watson to have
resulted from the wound he had received, and a ver-
dict of " Wilful Murder" was recorded by the Coro-
ner (G. Gwynne, Esq.) against iiroadbeat. The re-
mains of the unfortunate Serjeant were interred with
military honours in the Churchyard on Thursday
morning. The procession from the Barracks to the
Church was impressively solemn, the band played
the " Dead March in Saul ;" the whole of the
here attended, including the Officers, the latter wear-
ing crape on their arms, and the follow ing crowd
was very great. The deceased has left a widow, Who
is pregnant, and two children, to deplore his prema-
ture loss.
