ISOROUGH GILEAT MRPIOTITIL

White Hart Tavern, Bithopsgate-street, London,
10th August. 8.--At a Meeting'of Two Hundred
and Forty-Freemen of the Borough of Great Yar-
mouth, resident in and near London, held this day
pursuant to Advertisement, for the purpose of re-
ceiving a Deputation of the Freemen from Great
Yarmouth, lArkS HURRY, Esq. in the Chair, it was
unanimously resolved :

First, That by the elevating to the Peerage of the Honour-
able T. W. Aus*N, one of our Itepi...sentatic:ec, it hat become
necessary to that some Crendentan of iudepc: dent principks in
his stead.

S.:cond, 'That the conduct of the Honourable Gamma ANION,
as the proxy of his brother at th: late Election, and the manly,
noble, and independent principles he manif..t:t4l, which hive
always been chatacteristic of his family, point Min out as emi-
nently qualified to be our Representative, as the colleague of
Mr. liestnOLD.

Third, That having been assured the Honourable GPOIIOI
ANSON will accept our invitation, and the deputation from Yar-
mouth having stated that this choice is congenial with the senti.
ments of our resident Brother Freemen, we are happy in unitinii
with him, and individually and collectively will exert ourselves,
by every means in our power, to secure his lLction.
Fourth, That the neglect and coitempt sla:vrn by Mr. Lacnmr
to the Out-voters, and his declaration that he would rather
lose the election as he did low it, than gain it as it was gainad
by Arnow and Ruanot.ia," is sufficient to prose to us that he is
an unfit person to represent an independent Town.
Fifth, That as Mr. LACON'S conauct justly fills on bias the
censure of every.independent Freeman, so the liberal sent:men:a
and honourable conduct of Mr.- Anson entitles him to our eutir;
retard end support. I VHS Chairman.

After the Resolutions were passed, Thanks were
unanimously voted to !vas HURRY, Esq. for his able
conduct in the Chair.

Friday, oa the firing of the evening gun from the
Queen's Battery, Portsmouth, the wadding• fell on
some dry grass under the Jet wall, which immedi-
ately took fire, and burnt to a considerable Distance.
There not being the least danger of material injury,
tike spectators were highly gratified at the beauty
and novelty produced by the occurrence.
Saturday, some men were at work repairing a
house belonging to Mr. Hell, Kent street, Borough.
when the side wall fell in. and the roof immediately
fell upon two men named Dnnovan and Dawes: they
were conveyed to Guy's Hcspital, in a dreadful state.
A few days since, an extraordinary interposition of
DIVINE PROVIDENCE was evinced in the deliverance
of William Salter, of St. Cross Mill, in the Isle of
Wight, who being employed in the mill, had occasion
to make some alteration in the van. While s., en-
gaged, his foot became entangled in the dressing
strap, and he was instantly drawn up under the
drum, and suspended by one of his thighs, expecting
every moment to be torn to pieces ; but to his great
astonishment, the strap, which was three inches wide,
and proportionably thick, and three of the cogs gave
way, by which he was providentially rescued from
his perilous situation without sustainin , any iajury.
It was lately stated that a vessel had been fittea
up and moored in the River, as a Chupel for Seam*
to hear Divine Service : last Sunday the ctargregatio•
on board consisted of Irons MO to 600 persons,. Of
whom 300 were seamen, and most of thenthers•were
the relatives of seamen. It was a pleasing scene
when the ship's boats were coming from the Vpper
and Lower Pool, bringing the crews of the vessels
to Public Worship ; and when these boats were made
fast all round the vessel, from whence the praises of
ALMIGHTY GOD were heard on the River to a great
distance. Such is the happy consti uction, that the
whole of the auditors can hear even to the smallest
sound from the pulpit.
A widow lady, a native of America, lately came to
town from the coast of Sussex, where she had been for
some time residing with her three infant children. for
the purpose of selling out stock tothe amount of3-'!;00,
preparatory to a voyage to her native country.—
Having applied to the people of the house to recom-
mend some professional man to transact her business,
a genteel-looking fellow was introduced, who stated,
that he was a Solicitor of the Inner Temple. Ile
appeared to be perfectly conversant in money trans-
actions, and after some convex cation, the Lady fur-
nished him with the necessary documents, and with
a written authority to sell out stock to the =own
mentioned. A time was appointed for an interview,
when he was to pay over the money to her, but he
has never since made his appearance, and the feelings,
of the unfortunate woman may easily be conceived,
when upon inquiry she found that he had absconded.
with the whole of her property, having sold the.
stock on the day appointed.
Monday se'nnight, Vickery, attended by another.
Police Olficer, arrived at Leeds, in search of a young
man, nobly connected, who has, for the fourth thasel.
absconded from his friends, and has found his way.to
Leeds. Ever since their arrival the most diligent
search has been Made in Leeds and neighbourhood,
but hitherto without success. The young fugitive,
who is described to be six feet two inches high, and
dressed in a blue coat, nankeen trowsers and white
raoclings, called, it seems, at the Post-oilice, on the
S.lturday afternoon, where he received two letters,
but since that time lie has nut been heard of.
Yesterday Alex. Mizell, the driver of t hackney-
coach, sat-no:oiled Mr. Freeman, a gentleman resid-
ing in Southwark, who was one of Mr. Barclay's
Committee during the election, for refusing to pay
him his legal fare. The case was heard at Union Hall.
The complainant deposed, that Mr. Freeman engaged
this coach for ene hour and a half to convey voters up
to the hustings from Mi. Barclay's Conunittee-romn j
he fulfilled has engagement; and when he appplied to
Mr. Freeman for payment of his fare, he ref red to
pay him for more than one hour, which was six shil-
lings; he declined receiving less than nine shillings,
which was the sum he was entitled to for one hoar
and a half. Mr. Freeman said, that the coachman
was employed only one hour. The coachman said,
his coach was waiting the whble of the hour and
thirty minutes, which was the time he was engaged
.for, and it was not his fault if the Committee had no
voters to send up to poll..
MPcistrate—" How many voters did you take during the
hour ?" Coachman—" I took up six, Sir.
Magixtrate-•-" Weil, Mr. Freeman, I think six votes are
worth nine shillings. The coachman is certainly entitled to the
sum he claims."
Mr. Freeman paid the money, and the case was
disposed of,
