On the subject of Licenses, there are so many
changes with our Board of 'Trade, and so many mis-
tatements by those who attend it to procure them,
that it is extremely difficult to ascertain from day tc 6
day the facts. Until Monday, it was undorstood,
that in return for silk and other articles from home,
were to be shipped potash, drugs, dying woods, nal
-hides. On Monday, however, it was inquired,
whether hides were or were not included in the ea•
ports, and the answer given by the Board was, that
they were not comprehended, and that the report as
to them was wholly unfou 'ded. It is certain, that
in the full e' pectation that hides were exportable
under such circumstances, they have risen in this
market upwards of 15 per cent.
I The interesting Mrs. C. lirstaLE, whose approach.
ing retirement from the stage we noel, ed yesterday,
once afforded, unconsciously, an occasion for much
hearty laughter, a shot time previous to her maid•
morrial coalition with the (physically)grealest of the •
KEHBLES. They were enacting O. hello and 11.sde-
moue at Covent-garden, and so fond was the un-
wieldy Moor of his gentle mate, that iu embracing
her, he would have a kiss, when the collision left one
side of her face quite black, muds to the entertain-
ment of the audience.
The following event occurred last week at Buck-
den, Hunts. A party, consisting of two Mr. Pret.
tymans, Capt. Green, of the 21st ilegiment, Mr.
Hodgson, his daughter, son, and Mrs. C. Hodgson,
were walking on the ice in the canal in the I:ishop of
Lincoln's grounds, it s'iddenly gave way, and all
plunged in except Miss Hodgson, who was at a little
distance. The depth of water was nearly eight feet.
The young men with difficulty gat to land. At this
time Miss Hodgson, who perceived her aged father
struggling in the water, with the most undaunted cou-
rage rushed on and seized his coat; but the ice failed,
and she sunk ; and her brother seeing the state of both
father and sister, with the same amiable and filial me-
live, rushed on to rescue both, but he also shared their
fate. Thus they must have remained, had not this
Prettymans and Capt. Green, with great bravery,
advanced. The two Ladies, by 'heir assistance, and
by that of Mr. Hodgson and his son, were soon drawn
.out. Miss Hodgson had then sunk three times nn..
der the ice, but her great courage and presence of
mind saved her. Mr. Hodgson and his son soon af-
ter reached the land; but Mr. llodgson first, with
the greatest, coolness, called to the young men to
shew them how he had kept up the Ladies, and how
he prevented them from sinking. They were all put
Into warm beds, and cordials administered, and thus
providentially terminated an accident which threat-
ened the most!atal results.
Oa Muaday last a Court Martial was held on board the Prlsce
of Wales, in Went.). Harbour, whereof Capt. Erskine Douglas,
was President, when the Conn proceeded to try nauid Doren,
watnan• belonging to the Seine frigate, for deserting frost that
ship. The evidence adduced in support of the prosecute
