In a country towu, in the West of England, a so- cial party who .-frequently amused themselves by a game ot cards, agreed, a mcnth or two previous to the drawing of the last Lottery, that the winnings each time of playing should be put into a stock p purse, for the purchase of Shares of Tickets for their joint benefit. The amount accumulated to a sufficiency for purchasing two Quarters, three Eighths, and four Sixteenths. One of the (Quarters had the good fortune to be Share of a ;£'10,000' Prize; and thus, ^2,500 was gained by the gradual increase of little winnings, which separately would have been of no consequence the respective par- ties.

As soon as the ground had been measured out, being about three eighths of an acre for each, eleven ploughs started for the Welsh prizes, and three others immediately after for the free prize for English and Welsh the wea- ther being very fine, the scene proved highly grati- fying to a vast number of spectators.—Tne Welsh prizes were adjudged as follows: First prize,-two guineas, to the servant of William Evans, Esq. with-'a Shropshire plough.

The price of "corn coqtinues to decline in the London market, the effects of which begin to be experienced in some parts of the country. We fear, however, that attempts are making again to advance the price, having, received iniorniation, that within these few days, some persons have of- fered to take the whole of the stock of wheat, threshed or unthrcshed, of several farmersin He- refordshire, at 15s. 6d. per bushel. We consider this 'to be a. part of a general system to raise the J markets, and trust that. it will not only be defeated, but that the parties concerned in a practice so' cli.:t- bolical will be subjected to the penalties of the law lor forestalling..

A shocking accident happened at Dowiais iron- works, near Ylerthyr Tidvil, on Satui-day last: the regulating chain ol the engine at the lower mill broke, which rendered th^ ma'. unmanagea- ijib, afrd the fly wheel bre tki'ig in consequMce, caused the death of three poor women, who were employed in weighing iron scraps, beside niucii in- juring a fourth.

Stephen Checzely, a respecta- ble farmer, ot llighworth, who, in returning home in" thb evening,1 fell from his horse, which set off, as soon as he found himself at liberty; and, owing to the darkness of the night, whilst wandering in search of the animal, the unfortunate man fell into the Thames and Severn Canal, and was drowned. His hat being seen next day floating on the water, led to a discovery of the body. He has left a wife and family to deplore their loss, and his melancho- ly fate. Early in the morning of Wednesday se'nnigat, Mr. John Anstie, of Dirham, near Bath, was found dead on the road. He had many years at- tended Bath market with pork; and, on his re- turn irom that city on the preceding evening, it is supposed he had fallen from his horse, and was killed. At Bristol adjourned sessions, last week, James Coleman, for embezzling the monies of his em- ployers, Mfessrs. Harfords, Davis, and Co. was ordered to-be transported for fourteen years Wil- liam^hiplcy, for stealing a silver can, seven vears; and four others, tor inferior offences, to be im- prisoned.—At these sessions came on the trial of an inquiry under the Bristol Dock Act, to ascer- tain the value Of the reversion in fee of the Dean and Chapter of Bristol in certain premises situate at Trim Mills, in the parish of Bedminster, sub- ject to the unexpired term of years, (the te- nant's property in the lease having been previously purchased by the Company) when the jury gave their verdict for 7911. It appeared on the trial, that the Company had offered the Chapter lOOOl." which was refused. The costs therefore fall on the latter, as the Act provides, in the event of a jess sum being recovered than that tendered.— Two other similar iiiottiries betnveeii the same par- ties were wirhdrawu, the -Chapter being advi&ed, V to accept the offers of the Dock Company. Court of King's Bench, Nov: 14 —R. M. Philipps, Esq. ap- pearing m Court to receive judgnient, affidavits were read, stating-that the defendant was employed in the command of a. parry ot sea-iencibles on the coast 01 South Wales, and that .his being detained from that command would be inju- rious to his Majesty's service. Mr. Clifford then moved for a rulc to shew cause why judgment"slumldiiot i'or some time be suspended,there bemg nothing in the count under which Mr. philipps was found gniltv, to shew, or .even to infer, an intent on Ins part to light.

Nov.. 15.—John Morgan, convicted of assaulting some of the revenue officers 111 the, execution of their duty, was brought tip lor judgment. The.aflidavit upon which the in- lormation was tounded, was read in Court, which explain- ed the cireumstances Of the case. This affidavit was filed by Thomas Peregrine, coniiAcUtde)- of the Endeavour cutter, then employed on the coast of Pembroke; Thomas Tedbu- ry, mate ot the same cutter; William Abrams, and John Browne^- mariners and William Iran-is, a revenue officer. From this it appeared, that the Jacobina, a Dutch prize brought in by his Majesty's ship Rosario, had often been plundered by the smugglers. The comviaaniler of the En- deavour revenue cutter, having, got information of this, sent the mariners Aprams and Browne with a boat to watch the prize at night., i'hey accordingly proceeded on their duty, and rowed round the Jacobina. While thev were at the Is distance of about two oars length/ the defendant, who was on board the Jacobina, threw a shot or piece oi iron at the .hoat>which,siruc-k her gunwale and rebounded intv th<j,^gc °tn;9p n'ft flalt'lilighled in the boat it might hnve sunk her. In consequence of this outrage, the com- mander of the cutter went on board the prize, and upon de- manding to know ho had coitiuitited the assault in question, Harris, who had beeij stati yied uu boaixi the vessel, pointed at the defendant Morgan', who, on being questioned, con- fessed the fact. In behalf of the defendant, several Magis- tcates and Clergymen, of the county ot Pembroke, deposed to his general good cliaracter. The defendant filed an affi- davit, which stated that he had been sent on board the Ja- cobina, by a relation of his, who ha.d a share in the prize, to take care oi her, as it was understood that great pillage had been committed, by boats irom the shore that when the boat in questi. n came (o the prize, he thought it was one of the smugglers,^and had therefore attempted te^rive her away, alter he nad haiicd her and received no answer.—Af- ter- an exhortation to better conductfrQm Mr. Justice Grose, he was sentenced to pay afine of 51. and to be imprisoned ".Y till the fine smmjd be paid, Hannalv- Jaines> Convicted at Hereford of assaulting James Wood, an excise -officer in Glamorgau-hiie, while in the execution 01 itis duty, was sentenced to be imprison- ed two months ni ihe King's Bench. Nav,16,-NIr. Gihh:i moved for an information in the na- ture ol a. quo warranto, to shew by what title Henry Davies eiairaed to be a burgees of Carmarthen. He stated, that this person was one otfivê servants of the late John Vaughan, Esq. who were made 'freenitfn of the borough ot Carmar- then under a conveyance, real or supposed,^to a freehold interest in a public-house in. thai town which estate had s>nce devolved on Lord Cawdor, but still ihe freedom was claimed. In support of his-motion, 1\11. Gibbs produced an affidavit, wincit stated"that- Henry Davies, to the best of the belief ot the deponent, had never received the rents ol 'v the ireehold under whiçhhe claimed, but that they had al- ways since Ins introduction to the borough, been baid to the late or to Lord Cawdor.—Lord Etienbo- rough objected to grantint-- the rule, the affidavit, m what related to tiie rents^not being positive.—Rule refuf-ed. Mr. E. skiue appMed for a rule to shew cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be issued for bringing up the body of Robert Douglas, W!M> had been impressed, and was at present oii board one of his Majesty's ships, against his con- §ent—he being aireeholder 01 the county of Middlesex. Mr. Erskine stated, that he could not deny that Ins client had been in tlie sea-faring line, and as such wasliahieto be impressed; but, this was no siunu freehold1 purchased by his client to give a loundation to the present application. ..He held an affidavit in his hand, by which it appeared that his client, who had been mate of a VVest-Indianfan, was j lately left bv his, uncle, besides other property, a freehold 10 the county of Middlesex, uninciunbered, yielding. him .1 571. per ami. The learned Counsel therefore' submitted, •that "as this was a. question of gri»at importance, aud had ne- vet-yet been determined, the Court would think it not UIl- worthy "their attention' Lord Ellt'Jborough:-<e It appears here that the per- son applying for- the writ of habeas corpus .was, serving on ooard of ship when lie was impressed and it does Lhat he has any disinclination to continue at sea; but only that he wduid prefer sailing in a merchant ship to'serying ou board a King's ship. The question here seems to, be, if, 111 the case of.a freehold, or any other independencyK"de» volving on a seaman, he is iroimliat circnmstance to be dis- charged, and that it is the duty of this Court to interpose its authority to that effect. I confess it does not strike me in this light,"—Rule ret used. Nov, 17.Alr.pW.Iord moved, that a rule in the case of the King v. Mansell Philipps, Esq. be enlarged to the se- cond day of next term.—iVIr. Erskine, for the prosecutor, consenting, the rule was enlarged.
