An article from Tobolsk, in Siberia, dated October
14., states, that a labouring man, who, in Si purse cyl
skin, which he wore at his breast, bad placed the
hard-earned savings of his life, was murdered by two
of his companions, for the sake of his little treasure.
The murderers escaped to a neighbouring forest, foii.
lowed by two dogs belonging to the deceased, which
would not quit them. The wretches did everything
to appease them, but in vain. They then endeavoured
to kill them, but the dogs were upon their guars',
and continued to howl dreadfully. Reduced to de-
!pair, the murderers, at the end of two days, returned
to Krasnojarsk, and delivered themselves into the
bands of justice.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturdav
morning thn Coventry stage coach, heavily loaded

carried into a neighbouring surgeon's, to have his
wounds dressed; all the rest escaped with only a few
slight bruises.
Monday se'nnight, a Meeting of the Inhabitants of
Romsey was held at the Town Hall, for the purpose of
agreeing to a dutiful and loyal Addressio his MA-
JESTY, JAMES ALDRIDGE Esq. in the Ulair. Mr.
LINTOTT, after a few prefactory remarks, proposed
an Address, expressive of loyalty and attatchment to
his MAJESTY'S person, but embodying nostibject of a
political nature. This beipg seconded by Mr. LONG-
cam.; Mr. THOMAS SHARP addressed the Meeting
at length, questioning the propriety of a proceedinglike the present, which, in his opinion, was ae imputa-
tion upon them which they did not merit, as he had
never heard their loyalty called in question. Mr.
GEORGE observed, that if it was necessary to ad-
dress the KING, that Address should speak the sen-
timents of the People, and should convey to tl:e
royal ear the language of truth and sincerity.—
He then proposed an Address, expressive of the ut-
most loyalty to his MAJESTY; but animadverting on
the conduct of Ministers; and strongly censuring the
late proceedings against the Quars:.. Some further
discussion took place, when the Address moved by
Mr. GEORGE was then carried by a large otajbrity.
The Address to his MAJESTY from this town, which
was left at the Town Hall for signatures, was for-
warded for presentation on Thursday last, signed by
about SOO names. The Address left at the King's
Arms, and which prays for a change of Ministers, IF,
we understand, to be forwarded this day, sigted by.
2300 names.—Preston Paper, Dec. 16.
BIRMINGHAM MZRTING.—The " Loyal Declare-
tion"from (not of) this Town, is, we believe, gone up
to his MAJESTY, by one of the fly waggons: and will
represent the state of public feeling here, about as
much as it would that of the people of T•Caliki-
There may be some different views held by respect-
able people as to the precise object of a Public Meet•
ing; but in respect to the slavish Address of a few
sycophants, adopted in a private manner, having the
forged signatures of respectable persons ; and the
forced ones of the lower orders—it has an opposition
of at least 200 to one among the people of the town.
The conduct of the tools of the Administration, has
made it imperative on the true friends of the Throue
and the Constitution, to address the KING, on the
real state of the country.
