for the seduction of the plaintiff daughter, per quad
servilinnt aniisil.

The case, as stated by Mr. MAnavA'rr, for thti

of Mr. GURNEY, fur the defendant, was this :—The
Lady in question, who was ;;2 years of hai
received the addresses of the defendant for more dial
four years. - The•eeurtatip had been carried on with
much ardour, both at the Loire of the Lady's fatheia
and at that :cher uncle, and she had been sufilrerf
to sit up with her lover after the families had retired
to rest—particularly at the hour of the former,,
Where she admitted that reciprocal fsmiliarities.had
taken place to almost every imaginable erten,. These
liberties, however, had passed after. As promise of •
marriage had been given, and the result oft/manse*
being a fine boy, the present action was brought Er*
its support, and the loss of her services to her fltthers:,

A Gentleman who has travelled into Cornwall
ports, that throughout the whole of his route the..
Wheat is remarkably fine, forward, and abuadant. •
The Oats and Barley looked but indiffereno.y, as fai:
as Somerset-lite; but there, and throughout Devon.;.'
the crops of both arc good. In Cornwall, which is •
not remarkable as a corn country, the crops of Oats..
Barley, and Wheat, have also a most promising ap:.
pcaraice. _

A load of new wheat was brought on Saturday to
Reading market, and sold at 84s. per quarter.
The Provincial Papers continue to give flattering
accounts of the improving condition of trade and ma-
nufActures. At the dinner given on the conclusion
of the late Thetford Wool Fair, Mr. COKE observed,
that it was the largest and most respectable ever held
in that town, and he rejoiced to state that the woollen
manufactories were never in a more prosperous con-
dition than at the present moment.
A large quantity of Jatgonelle pears, and a kind
of egg plumbs brought from France, were yesterday
exhibited for sale in Covent-Garden market, and re-
tailed out, the former at 2s. per dozen, and the latter
at 2s. per quart.
Great preparations are making in the Firth of
Moray, hi Scotland. One mercantile house in Lan-
don, whith has a branch in Cromarty, has already
there salt and casks for 20,000 barrels of fish.

The pilchard fishery on the coast of Cornwall, has
commenced successfully, and promises to prove abun-
dant ; five thousand of these fish were brought into
Looe, on Thursday, by the driving boats of that place.
" Good Wine needs no Bush."—This saying arose
from the old custom of tvhippin wine with a Guilt
or bunch of birch, under the notion of clearing it ;
but of late years the vintages and mode of obtaining
wine have been so much improved, that a man may
now clear from any Stock he prefers, and whip it into
his own cellar, the choicest Claret, Port, or Madeira
in the kingdom, free of any expense whatever, by
the gratuitous arrangement of Mr. CA RROLL, the
Contractor for the Lottery, who invites the holders
of each Prize of 1000 Sovereigns to select Four Pipes.
of Port or Madeira, or Four Hogsheads of Claret, and
in proportion for Shares ; and to send the Bills to
either of the Contractor's Offices, N:. 7, Cornhill, or
26, Oxford-street. This is quite independent of Two
I'6 y.es of 30,(XXY. two of 2,1K)0/. &e. &c. which may
all he draw!! the 4th nest Month, as there are no
fixed prizes, and only SOW Tickets fit this Lottery,
