The venerable and much-respected Duke of GILAIr

Order of the Garter.—His Grace is succeeded by his
eldest son, the Eart cf EUSTOW (now Duke of GRAV

who pleaded the cause of The Emerminer with so Much

the Proprietor of The Stamford News suffering impri-

of no short duration ; for the same act which a Lon-

Lordship's pheasant preserve, at Saffron Waldron, and
disturbing the birds. The Defendant was a young
lad, the son of a neighbouring brasier, who had often
been trespassing in Ins Lordship's grounds, from which
he had been warned by the gamekeeper ; and after
that wanting, at the end of April last, he was disco.
vered in an ozier enclosure, kept paled up for the
I breeding of pheasants, beating the osiers, apparently
with a view of discovering the pheasants' nests.•—The
Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages One Shilling.

Arab hones, treasure to the amount of three lacs of

a leak, the salt unfortunately chocked the punapc• and I

who were all drowned. The rest, consisting of the

got into the cutter and jolly boat, but in the hurry and

great pleasure in informing you of a narrow escape
we have had of being murdered by the French priso- .
ners we took to Leith. On the 25th ult. an attempt
was to be made to takethe ship from us, and the mur-:
der of all the Officers was to be a part of this horrible i
plan. Fortunately for us, ene of the prisoners revealed
the plot a few hours before it was to be put in exetts-
tion. The nuniber of prisoners on board was 300, and
our crew consisted, including officers, of only 120; a
half of the number foreigners, and men of a very infe-
rior descriptinn. The plan which they had laid (and
