It was imagined by many that the sentence most

The last I..ruark,able remotion in which any disturb-
ance took place in this city, was that of Serjeant./da-
jor John Young, of the 4th Foot, convicted of for.

o'clock, he wools, be fie,. Accordingly, when the
Magistrates came to the prisms to demand Lim, be
barricallsied the door of his room in such a manner,
that nii rottener could be obtained. Th. Magis-
trates, besieger, ■ere determined to do their duty.—
'l hey ordered the floor of the room above to be lifted,
M es to admit a man. Sit of the most resolute of the
City Guard dropped down upon Young : the first

the others, carried to the Grans-markitt, and was cas-
eated there at via o'clock at eight. This took place
an the 10th December, 1718.

In the cottage garden belonging to B. Tovrnshend,
I;,; at Cowes, there is a curious plant now nearly
in tall bloom, celled the Yuma Glories°, or broad.
leaved Adam's Needle. This plant blows about once
in '3O or 25 yeers ; the stem which hears the blossom
is about eight (vet from the root, and is quite a
novelty, particularly as it stands in the open groend,
it being a green.hoeso plant.
Saturday morning, a fellow pretending to be in the
employ of Mr. Scott, market-gsrdener, went to the
shop of Mr. Dover, mosic-seller, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
and during his absence obtained from the shop•boy
eighteen shillings, stating, that his master had seta
homes dozen and a half of apples, which, with a pre.
'vines bill, would amount to that lam ; the artless
youth conceiving the demand to be jest, immediately
paid it to the villein, whose future attempts in this
kind of depredation, we tryst will be detected.
Saturday. about sin o'clock in the evening, a most
brutal attack was made on Mr. Henry Lynn, an op.
potent farmer, of Great Bookham Common, Seem,
as he was returning from Kingston•market, and
within a short distance of his own residence, by
three desperate villains, who, having stopped him
and demanded his money, beat him in a most horrid
I manner with bludgeons, and laid him insensible on
the ground, they then rifled his pockets, carried off
roositierable prop-sty which he bad its his possession.

Joao limy 'berm 'Ws, and conveyed to his house in a
: shocking condition ; when he became sensible he de•
mitred the inhuman monsters, who, there is no
doubt, had watched him from home in the morphia,
and str•sloill him at night. They were all dressed in
mond frocks, such as are used by farmer►' labourers,
