j+•:r tlat last week. The prospect of an open trade to
the revoked provinces in :iouth America. has raised
a considerable spirit of speculation amongst the ma-

had gone to Newcastle on TUesday se'nnitht, to boy
corn, went on the Friday morrilifg to view the machi-
nery of the windmill at St. Ann's, near that town.
The mill being stopped for a minute or two, Mr. At-
kinson stepped on to the gallery, and incautiously
went within the range of the wands, which being
suddenly put in motion, he received a dreadful blow
on the breast, which he survived only two hours.

weJther we have had, the prices of corn are falling,

countsfreas North Brabant are most distressing, from
the cootinued rising of the rivers.
