An eminent London merchant, of whom it has been
frequently r emat ked that " all he touches turns to gold,"
lately recovered a lust diamond bracelet worth 5001. in
a manner quite in accordance with his usual good for-
tune. His lady, who had worn it at the opera, dropped
it from her arm in leaving the theatre, and the bracelet
being of so great value, her husband considered it hope-
less to attempt recovering it by an advertisement. On
the ensuing opera night, the sister of the lady in ques-
tion visited the theatre, and also lost her bracelet, but
of much inferior value. The second bracelet was ad-
vertised, and on the following morning appeared, not
that which was advertised, but the diamond bracelet,
which had been picked up by a private soldier who was
on duty at the Opera House. It need not be added,
that the finder met with a more liberal reward than he
hadimticipated.
Yesterday, between the hours of two and three
o.clock in the afternoon, the house of Mr. Bigg, Rod-
ney-haildings, New Kent Road, was entered, and a
basket of plate, containing 29 articles, stolen. The house
was clo,ed in consequence of a death in Mr. Bigg's
' family ; and it is supposed the thief took advantage of
that circumstance, and two young women going into
the house with some boxes. Mr. and Mrs. Bigg, and
three daughters, were sitting in an adjoining room at
the time of the robbery. The plate was in a room at
the back part of the house, and the thief must have
gone ten yards through the hall to get there.
SHAFTESIUM—Saturday night, as Mr. John Holf,'l
farmer, of Twyford, near Shaftesbury, was returning
from Shaftesbury market, in a state of intoxication, he
fell from his horse, and was found on the road by the
Rev. Mr. Houle, who caused him to be conveyed to the
Ox Inn, in this town, where lie shortly after expired.—
On Monday last, as Mr. Joseph Cox, farmer, of Kings-
ton, Dorset, was returning from West Scower, where
he had been freely drinking, he fell from his horse, in
a state of Intoxication, and was taken up quite dead.
The Coroner's Inquests were taken before Hannen,
Esq. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Yesterday morning at four o'clock the Rev. R. Taylor
was removed from the King's Bench prison, and,
agreeably with his sentence, he was conveyed in a post
chaise, accompanied by two officers'of the prison, on
his route to Witham jail, in Rutlandshire.
Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, in
compliance with the orders from Mr. Poet., one hun-
dred and eight females were di-patched in vans in the
custody of a posse of officers, to Woolwich, for embar-
kation on board the transports now lying there, destined
for Vaa Dieman's Land. Most of the temales appeared
to be in good health and spirits.
Yesterday morning three journeymen silk-weavers,
named Etiiot, Richards, and Tatum, were publicly
whipped, pursuant to their sentence, for cutting the
work of their employers, Messrs. Stone and Brooks, Mr.
Tarrant, and Mr. Edmonds, from their looms. It ap-
pears, that the practice of cutting work from the looms
has latterly become so prevalent, and to such an alarm-
ing extent, as to have induced the Magistrates of Wor-
ship Street Office to have recourse to this mode of pu-
nishment for the purpose of checking the gross ing evil.

EDINPt It6l I, Fur.
Wont nireo'clock'on Nlondas for ennon,An alarming
fire broke out in one of the lrcfcs or granaries at
Loch.in dis.illery, near EJinhurgh, caused, it is laid,
by a Valk m a light which some of the workmen had
been it%ing in the course of the morning. For sometime
the appearance was most appalling, but by the efficiency
of the fire engines, the injury Was contilied,to a flat of the
tenement on which the fire originated. The roof, how-
ever, was destroyed, and from 40 to 50 bolls of grain
burned. The engine of the Ordnance Office in the Castle,
under the superintendance of Captain Mlerlie, hap-
pened fortunately to be then in the neighbourhoods
employed in monthly practice, worked by the Ordnance
wol

,rkmen, and a strong party of the 92d regiment.
Their services were speedily brought in requisition by
Captain Robinson of the Police, who was on the spot
as soon as the alarm was given; and it is but an act of
justice to say, that to their very prompt and vigorous
exertions was principally to be attributed the facility
with which the progress of the devouring element was
so expeditiously checked, considering the combustible
materials with which it was everywhere surrounded.
The judgm-nt exhibited by Mr► Mackintosh, clerk of
Ordnance, and the workmen of that department, and
the di,cipline and spirit wh.ch animated the party of
the 92d, deserve.tly received general approbation.
