neighbourhood, offering a reward for the perpetritors of
this outrage. The case sit prespnt rests in the most obscure
metery...

fiats, Sotrrnwaaa.—Among the persons who,
aecqrdiog to the third section of the Statute, are to b*
deemed rogue. and vagabonds within the true intent awl
meaning of the late Vagrant Act, are all these " who run
away *nd leave their wives or children chargeable to any
pariah, township, or place;" and by virtue of this clause,
the Overseer. of the.Parisir of St. John, in the Borough,
brought up Hen:iambi Wootton.
The Overseer stated, that the prisoner absconded from
his home on Saturday night last, leaving his wife, who
Wu in the last stsge of pregnancy, and four children un-
provided for. That the wile hail actually been delivered
of her fifth• child on the Monday. and that site and het'
family Lad, in consequence, become burdensome to the
parish.
On Mr. Alderman SMITR inquiring how they happened
to get him into custody so quickly. it was replied that he
had returned home again on the Wednesday evening fol.
lowing.
The prisoner protested that his going off was only a
foolish freak of his; that he had no intention of deserting
his wife and family; that there was no cause for her apply-
ing to the parish, for though he might have left her a little
short of ready cash, there were plenty of things she might
have raised money upon.
Mr Alderman Serra observed, that the prisoner richly
,leservtd punishment for his iinfeelinz conduct, but he
•ould not for a moment entertain the idea that this was
inch a desertion as was eniteuiplated by the Statute, and
discharged the prisoner.

On Friday lact, as Mr. buzzard, of nrton by %Fenaiad,
was returning. home from Leicester fair, he rode foul of a
gentleman's gig, the shafts of which entered the breast of
his horse and killed it upon the spot. Mr. B. had been
making free at the fair—indeed more free than welcome,'
—for the horse killed was not that which he rade to the
fair, (a borrowed our,) but a more valuable animal, which
lit by accident had taken from the stable of the inn.—

LONDON MARKETS.

CITY, OCTOBER 22, 1523.
BACON.—There is very little demand for Bacon in this
market ; but the jobbers are loosing forward, and are making.
time bargains: with them profit " never is, but always to he"
made. As we have often observed, a calm is the thing they
nost dread: there must be • bustle crested by themselves, or
they are in danger of being forgotten. The regular tradesman.
however, is generally doing the moat and the best sort of busi-
ness when these men are idle.—On b0ard,.321. to SU. Land..
ed, Old, fits. to &Os.; New,42s. to 44a.
BD rrEß.—The stock here is very heavy, and. for the
greater part, almost unsaleable, on account of its staleness,
having been brought here during the hot weather ; and there
being enough of that which is 'fresh, for the demand for won-
gumption. The trade being so unprofitahle, some have been
employing their loose cash in buying Spanish Bonds. Before
the failure of the Irish Banks In 1619, many of the Irish ship-
pers were In the habit of speculating on their own account ;
but that event so crippled them, that they now move only
through the means which they derive from London. Speaking
of the staleness of the Butter reminds us of the origin of the
law for compelling the shippers of Rutter to send it in casks of
a small 'size; a measure very injurious to the retail dealers,
but more so, if possible, to the speculators; because, es they
almoit always I..ep the Butter until it get stale, the mailer the
quantity in the cask, the sooner, of course, the Better perishes.
Tills Act originated 'with Sir John Newport, to serve 'a peel-
cubir interest, and like all such things, is a general injury. The
