Colonel Da Baia av's Lady now lies'in on board
the WINDHAM, off Gravefend.—That veffel is ap-
pointed to convey the Corps of Artillery to Cey-
lon. Their number, when complete, is to be 300
men, a confiderable portion of which are to be
taken up at the Cape of Gond Hope.
THa HINDOSTAN EAST INDIAMAM.—The Jan
accounts received of the wreck of the above (hip
Rate, that one hundred of the Company's bales of
woollens had been taken out, but it was toppled
the major part were damaged. They will be fent up
by the firft opportunity. Another gun brig is gone
down, and they row guard about the (hip all the
night. Great exertions are making to get the cargo
out, under the diredion of the Company's Maßer
Attendant, and the different perfons employed
on this occafion work day and night when the wea•
ther permits. Some private property has ago been
preferred. Not any of the filver has yet been re-
covered ; but hopes Rill remain, if favourable wea-
ther continues, that a great part of it will be fared.
The (hip Rill keeps together, which is attributed
to the iron knees. Several boats belonging to the
(bore have been Rove to pieces againft the wreck,
but no lives 1011. Some of the guns have been
forced through the gun-deck into the hold, none
of which, it is imagined, will be attempted to be
got out, as the (well from the eaftward is confider-
able. We have the pleafure to Rate, that Captain
BaLsrow is getting better. This Gentleman has
been very much indifpofed (ince the unfortunate
lots of the Hannorran, and Rill remains with the
wreck.

A young tradefman of Lincoln has wagered
lo guineas, p. p. that he rides a certain mare, now
in his poifeffion, from Lincoln to Manchefter, and
back again, in 48 hours. He is to flan on IWed-
nefday the 9th of February, or pay forfeit. The
odds, at prefent, are in his favour. Manchefler
is about 90 miles from Lincoln, fo that be will have
do miles to travel upon the raid mare, in the
above time. Should the roads and weather prove
good, he is likely to accomplith the talk.

Thurfday a bet was decided between
Pepper, a butcher, and Wood, a baker of
Dover. They flarted on two fine honks that had
been prepared for the purple, from the Red Cow,
at Dover, for Hythe, about i i miles diflant, and
were attended by a large concourfe of people.—
Wood's honk fell down about three quarters of a
mile on this fide of Hythe, and the butcher was in
about four minutes before his antagoniii. The race
was performed in forty minutes, and many bets
were depending.

At Doncafter the fall of (now was to great, on
Wednefday and Thurfday, as to render the roads
nearly impaffible.
In a traverfe at Chelmsford, the King againft
Braintree, for not repairing a highway, a verdia
was given again(' the parifh, and a fine of aool.
ordered to be levied upon them.
At the late eleaion of ten poor Curates, whole

An old man of a very miferable appearance.
and who had for a long time elided on charitable
donations, died a few days ago, in a cellar, with-
out either bed, bedding, or any thing elfe that
could afford the leaft warmth to his aged frame,
in Leather-lane, Holborn. His appearance be-
(poke extreme want, and excited many perfons to
afford him pecuniaey relief. Hi; wife, (who quit-
ted him in confequence of his parlimonious difpo-
fition, and who lived as a cook in a Gentleman's
family, in Hatton Garden). was fent for a (bort
time before his death, to whom he laid he wanted
nourifhment, but had not the means to procure it;
he !Aliened immediately to purchafe fome ; but
on her return found him fpeechlef), and in a fhort
time afterwards he expired. His wife and fame
perfons prefent began to dived him of his filthy
rags, when, to their great aftonifhment, they
found concealed in various parts of his tattered
garments no leis than two hundred and fifty gui-
neas, betides policies of funded property to a coact-
dant* amount.
