The Rev. W. DAVY, a Devonshire Curate, in the
year 1795, began a most desperate undertaking, via,
printing himself twenty-six volumes of Sernaons,which
he actually did, working page by page, for fourteens
copies, and continuing this almost hopeless task for
twelve years, in the midst of poverty.
Their Lordships the Postmaster-General last wet+
awarded the Premiums for the designs offered fottin,
New Post-Office, to Messrs. Poynder ; Mead,
£200; and Go:dicutt, £loo.—Thirty five designs
were offered for their approval in Octoter 1819,
The above is their decision on the different merits of
the designs.
Monday se'nnight, the Prince Regent coach, front
Shrewsbury to Holyhead, in passing-a brewery wag.
gon, within a mile of Shrewsbury, was upset. An
Irish Gentleman, named SHEARMAN, was throws
under the wheels of the waggon, and had his lez
dreadfully fractured. Mr. T.NIoLyNEaux, painter,
of Shrewsbury, had his ribs on both sides broken, and
his shoulder dislocated. The Guard was also alai.
ously injured. •
Box'-STREET.—Sarah Shiblej was charged yester-
day with creating a disturbance at Carlton Palace.
It was stated that the prisoner, several days ago, de-
manded of the porter, in a peremptory tone, that she
should be admitted to the presence of his Majesty.
The porter said, he must know the nature of her
business before he could admit her. She answered,
that she had it in command from HEAVEN to tell
Iris Majesty that his Protestant suhjccts were in dn.
ger from the machinations of the Roman Catholics,
and that if the petitions of the latter were granted,
terror would reign in the land! She continued pout-
ing out her anathemas against the Catholics until
the servants were obliged to turn her from tile door;
and she repeated her visits almost every day, until
an order was given to have her taken into custody.
Mr. BIRNIE pot several questions to her, and hem-
swers convinced every one who heard them that she
was decidedly insane. She persisted in her story of
her Divine mission, and said she came from Yar-
mouth two months ago, for the purpose of seeking
an interview with Bing George the Fourth, to warn
him of the perilous situation of the country. She
gave her address in Charlotte-court, Charlotte-street,
Whitechapel, and the Magistrate directed that she
should be taken home to her friends.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The attack upon some
unoffending young persons, on Sunday evening, by
servants, has been already stated. 11. Lawrence, ser-
vant to Mr. Angerstein, of Cumberland-Flace, was
yesterday put to the bar, when Esther Shiel and her
brother detailed the circumstances, as stated on Wee-
nesday, and identified the defendants as having struck
one of the young men, who pulled off his coat toe
fend himself, when he was attacked by two or three
of the servants, but he got the defendant down.—
The defence was, that the young man challenged
the defendant to fight; but this was contradicted by
the whole party.—.He was held to bail.
Qu ERN•SQU A RE.—Yesterday an investigation took
place at this Office; touching the death of a woman
named Macdonald, who died in the Westminsterle-
&glary. Her husband had been an Officer in the
Army; but, from the impetuosity of his temper, had
been dis Missed the service. He had eight children,
and lived happily till lately, when continual dispute
arose. On Sunday last he struck. her a violent blow
in the face, which knocked her down and fractured
her skull. She was conveyed to the llospital, when
she lingered till Wednesday, and then expired. The
husband has absconded, leaving the poor childrento
the mercy of the world.
