Yefterday a very fingular occurrence took place
in St. Paul's Church-yard, which might have been
attended with very ferious milchief :—About four
o'clock in the afternoon, a man left his honk and
cart unattended at the upper end of the Church-
yard ; the horfe loon after took fright, and ran
moll furioufly down the footpath, on the North
fide, leading. to Lndgate.hill. The paffengers
Peeing it was in vain to try to (lop the animal, en
deavoured to get out of the way. A Gentleman's
chariot efcapcd being dallied to pieces, by the dex-
terity of the Driver, who backed fo quickly, as
jug to make room for the cart to pats. On ar-
riving at the polls, nearly oppofite the Church-
gate, which are placed there for the purpofe of
preventing carriages palling, it was expe.fted
boric would have been (topped, but, to the furprife
of every body, the ftrong animal dragged the cart
over the polls, without pulling them down, taking
away, at the fame time, one of the iron gates be-
longing to the Chapter-houfe, which happened to
be open at the time. He then purfued his route
as furioufly as ever, till coming alangfide of a
hackney coach, (landing at Mr. Johnfon, the book.
feller's door, the wheel of the cart came in contatl
with one of thofe of the coach, and threw both
cart and horfe over on the foot path. The boric
was thus fir.pped—fome lives, no doubt, were
fared in tonfequence.
Eight prifoners confined in Chelmsford gaol for
various offences, formed a defperate plan for their
ekape on Chrillmas eve. They had, by affiduity
And perfevcrance, procured (mall pieces of hemp
!efficient to make a rope, which they flattered
themfelves (although vainly) would procure their
&ape. So earneß and defperate were thefe men
in their intentions, that they had taken an oath to
kill or be killed in cafe of an attempt to fruftrate
their defigns. The plan was, however, previoufly
dikovcred by Mr. Purnell, the Keeper. One of
the offenders was fele6ted, and taken afide, when
be made a full difcovery. The manner in which
thefe defperadJes were punifhed deferves to be re-
corded : Mr. Purnell gives a dinner on Chriftmas
Day to all confined within the walls of his prifon:
on this occafion, the above eight men were put
upon the long chain, and Rationed oppofite the
table where their fellow prifoners were enjoying a
hearty meal of beef and foup, of which they were•'
only fuffered to enjoy the fora

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL RIFORT POR Dx-
cEMßEl.—The Agricultural dote of the year rBoa,
is highly favourable to the local interefts of Great
Britain. The produce of bread corn, and other
crops of the late harveft, is now fully afeertained
to he one of the largeß that we have enjoyed for a
Century part. The profped of the fueeeeding fea-
fon is no lets flattering at prefent, as the new
Wheats throughout the various diaries, never
Mewed plants more luxuriant, free from worm, or
injurious taint. This principally arifes from the
di ought of laa rummer, which proved deflrudive
to the noxious infeds of the foil, and gave to it an
increafe of vegetative power in the autumnal cul-
ture. The plants under the drill fyitern, have
evidently the prefent advantage over the broad-
call, and even thole dibbled in. The crop of Bar-
ley is found to rife even more abundantly than
fire laid at, though, from the great bulk of llraw,
the famples are generally coarfe. Oats alto prove
a great average crop ; fo that when the fupplies
can be derived from the Fcit countries, this article
swill probably experience a great declenfion in
price. Peale turn out the only defedive crop ;
thole of the grey kind, will, in many countries,
fearcely pay for harvolling, and auditing. Clover
feed riles in general fo indifferently, that little
more than half an everage crop is looked for.—
The Young Clovers have planted in moil coun-
tries much better than was expeeed, from the ex-
treme drynefs throughout the rummer. The Tur-
nips are every where improved, particularly in
Norfolk; and the Gralk Lands in the fenny, and
other mar& diftrids, Rill afford abundance of feed.
Pc..tatnes are in great demand, and railed full ao
per cent. Winter Tans, and Rye, were never fo
generally (own, or this invaluable fpring produce
more promifing. The price of Hay has been kept
Itationary through the month ; the continued
inildneis of die weather, it is hoped, will prevent
its increafe : the old meadow growth is worth 71.
per load. Hops continue at Taft month's prices:
the Wool Market is balk, and more money freely
given for all forts, but particularly for long fleeces.
Smithfield has been well fupplied through the
month, with prime articles of all kinds of meat.
bat on advanced toms the Oxen and Sheep, ex-
hibited as r4rities of artificial fatnefs, were not, as
hitherto, objects of great attradionwith the prin-
cipal butchers ; their COLODNY'S had, this year. the
Food Late to order, what they could eat 1 Pi g Pork
IS the moil reAfonable article now at market.—
At all the latter fairs, Lean Stock found an is-
create in price, a xcept Cow Mine, which in pro-
coed on more moderate terms.
