On Saturday last, about two o'clock in the morning, as James ALTHERTON, servant to Mrs Rhoda COBB, of Hoe, next East Dereham, in this county, was driving his team upon the turnpike road near the six-mile stone, and within a small distance of the church of Hockering, he was stopped by two footpads, armed with bludgeons, who demanded his money, seized him, beat him, threw him down, and robbed him of half a guinea in gold and a silver watch, and then made off towards Mattishall Bergh. These two footpads appeared to be labourers, the one was rather tall, had on a slop, and the other rather low, and had on a brown coat. From the darkness of the morning the said ALTHERTON cannot at present give any further description of them, but is certain he can recollect the face of one of them.--The reward for apprehending a highwayman, and prosecuting him to conviction, is 40 pounds.
On Sunday last some person or persons took an opportunity, while the servants were upstairs, to steal a case of knives and forks, with six silver table spoons, from the side board in the House of Mr HUDSON, banker, in this city; the spoons were taken out, and the case, with the knives and forks, were thrown into the Cockey, at the back of the Rampant Horse inn, in St Stephens.
   On Thursday se'nnight, in the evening, some thieves broke into the laundry of Benjamin RANDAL, Esq., in the Close, and stole fifteen table cloths. It is supposed they were disturbed by the falling of a bason [sic] of starch, which was in the room, otherwise would have made a much larger booty.

   We hear several other thefts of the like kind have been committed in the course of the week, which we hope will make servants and others more attentive to the doors and windows, and excite the vigilance of the peace officers to bring the villains to justice.

   Thursday last was married, John MORSE, Esq., to Miss TWISS, daughter of the late Francis TWISS, Esq., of this city.

   Tuesday last died, in the 44th year of his age, Mr Benjamin BERTRAM, manufacturer in this city, and one of the Common Councilmen for the Northern Ward.

   On Sunday last died Mrs PAYNE, relict of the late Captain James PAYNE, of Yarmouth.

   On the 29th ult., died at Beccles, William BOHUN, Esq., of West-hall, in Suffolk, the last of his family and name.

Origin of New Year's Gifts.
At this time of year, why presents should be made upon the first day of January more than at any other time? The original of this custom is attributed to the reign of Romulus and Tatius, Kings of the Sabines, who governed jointly in Rome, in the seventh year of the town. Here it is said that Tatius, having been presented, on the 1st of January, with some boughs out of the forest of the Goddess Strenia, in token of good luck, began this custom, and called the present Strena. The Romans made this a holiday, and consecrated it to the honour of Janus, offering sacrifices to him; and the people went in throngs to Mount Tarpeia, where Janus had an altar cloathed [sic] with new cloaths [sic], and chose to begin their respective employments, or work, on this day; they wished one another good luck, and were very careful not to speak any thing ill-natured, or quarrelsome; the common presents among the meaner sort dates, figs, and honey, which were usually covered with gold leaf; and those who were under the protection of great men, used to add a piece of money. In the reign of Augustus, the populace, gentry, and senators, used to send him New Year's Gifts, and if he was not in town, they carried them to the Capitol; from the Romans this custom went to the Greeks, and from the Heathens to the Christians, who very early came into the practice of making presents to the Magistrates; some of the fathers wrote very strenuously against the practice, upon account of the immoralities committed under that cover and protection; but since the governments of the several nations of Europe are become Christian, the custom is still retained as a token of friendship, love and respect.

To the Printer of the Norfolk Chronicle.
Sir, When we have the mortification to lose a friend by death, our only consolation is in the remembrance of his virtues; our distress receives no small alleviation from the pleasing reflection upon his many amiable qualities. When he breathes his last in the defence of his country's rights, it is but a grateful tribute to his memory, it is a debt to that public, whom he has served so well, to acquaint them with those qualifications and achievements, by which he has been distinguished. The brave unfortunate youth, who is the subject of the following letter, was scarcely eighteen years of age, he promised to have been an ornament to his country, as well as his friends. -- The best panegyric, which can be offered to his memory, is in the following extract from a letter to his father upon the melancholy occasion.
"Sir, It is with infinite concern that I am to acquaint you with an affair, that will much afflict you and Mrs STEVENS; but after reflecting that he whom you have lost, fell in the service of his King and country, and much regretted by his acquaintance, it will in some degree alleviate the sorrow you will feel, on being informed, that your son was mortally wounded (and died a few hours after) by the explosion of a shell from the enemy on the 10th of October. His resolution, calmness, and resignation, justly merit the highest admiration, and he bore with the greatest patience the amputation of his leg, of which he might have recovered, had he not received a wound in his side. He had immediate assistance, and all possible care taken of him. From the first he said it was impossible he should recover; and, far from shewing any apprehension for his approaching end, declared he had nothing on his conscience that gave him the least uneasiness, but lamented for the grief his parents would feel, and calmly resigning himself, expired without an appearance of pain.
In him the service has lost a promising officer; he shewed [sic] his courage and conduct on a post upon the 12th of April, the day the enemy opened their batteries, and received two wounds. Among the number who knew him I sincerely regret him.
   I am, with compliments of condolence, Your most humble servant, Samuel MONTGOMERY.
Nov. 28, 1780 [sic] Richard STEVENS, Esq., late in his Majesty's service, Norwich, England."

To the Printer of the Norfolk Chronicle.
Sir, Observing in your useful paper of Last week, an account of the new pantomime of Norwich manufacture, and at the same time coinciding with the judicious remarks made by the writer, I determined, if a leisure hour offered in the course of the week, to trouble you with some observations that have occurred since the opening of the Theater. There is scare an evening but I am there; the rationality of theatrical amusements need no support, they are in themselves a powerful bulwark, and no man, but he whose mind is sordid as his judgment, will attempt a denial.
-- Thus much for a vindication of the frequency of my visits, if they need any. -- The present Manager evidently deserves commendation for his assiduity in presenting the city with all the novelty, that offers -- The dresses are much better, and I will venture to affirm, that if Mr BARRET keeps the same speed as he has begun, he will deservedly merit the post he has obtained. To instance my assertions, I mention the play of 'Duplicity.' The dresses were characteristic, and elegant; and the performance was admirable delivered. The Opera of 'Summer's Amusement' was highly entertaining; I am at a loss to account for its non-repetition, as it gave universal satisfaction; I think the Manager is wrong in not putting it forward. -- The Farce of the 'Divorce' meets also with general approbation, the two new performers acquitted themselves much to the satisfaction of their auditors. Still, Mr Printer, there are faults, I mean of the Band; their manner of coming into the orchestra on the conclusion of the acts is very reprehensible at the moment the auditor is (or ought to be) doubly attentive to carry in his mind the connections of the plot from act to act; but instead of entering the orchestra in a silent and becoming manner, they jostle together without the least order, and not only disturb the audience by tuning their instruments, but are equally or almost as vociferous as the actors. -- This ought to be remedied. -- Again, what occasion is there for our ears being constantly saluted with a bell from Mr Prompter, to notice the conclusion of the act; 'tis certainly unnecessary, the entrance of the band into the orchestra sufficiently reminds us. -- Another heavy grievance, I think, I may with justice complain of, which is the fulsome view of a number of scene-shifters and other persons, that are constantly standing in sight of the boxes.
-- The Manager should lay his commands on them to stand farther back, as they can by no means contribute to the entertainment of the evening; on the contrary, must croud [sic] the passage of the scenes, and be of great inconvenience to the actors. -- Don't think, Mr Printer, I am one of those who find fault merely because I have nothing to engross my time, as is too often the case with those species of unfledg'd critics I term Snarlers, but I look on these hints as really proper, and which on mature consideration the actors themselves must grant ought to be attended to.
Yours, Theatricus.

They were received by his Lordship in the most polite and friendly manner; and the business being opened by their chairman, Jere. IVES, Esq., of this city, in a very able Speech, in which he took a short but comprehensive view of the present state of the woollen manufacturers in different parts of this kingdom, and pointed out the ill consequences to be apprehended, from the exportation of wool in any mode whatever, the conversation became general, and his Lordship made many excellent and judicious remarks, promising his most serious attention to a question of such great magnitude, should the Lincolnshire Gentlemen persist in their intentions of bringing it [proposal that the export of wool be permitted] into Parliament.
   A correspondent thinks, that the most effectual means to serve the wool counties, would be to confine the wearing of silks to the Nobility, or even by some other exemplary law. At this time even the men wear silks and sattins [sic], and yet it is certain, a suit of superfine broad cloth has a more manly, and to the full as elegant an appearance.

Take of rue, garlick [sic], Venice treacle, and the scrapings of pewter, each four ounces; put them into seven pints of spring water, and simmer all over a slow fire, till it comes to one pint. Strain it, and give three spoonfuls every three hours to a man or woman, keeping them warm in bed. What remains after the straining is to be applied to the wound as a salve. -- For a horse or cow, use double the quantity of ingredients, and give fifteen spoonfuls as above. -- For a hog, sheep, or dog, give five spoonfuls.

   By a letter from Thornham, in Norfolk, dated the 26th of Feb. we are informed, that on Wednesday the 20th, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, a very stout brig was discovered, with her sails standing, beating over the sands near that place. Upon which some fishermen manned their boats, and went off to her assistance, but found no person on board; it appeared by the great confusion in which every thing was found in the cabin, that the ship had been quitted by her crew in a very abrupt manner. The fishermen picked up some scraps of paper and carried them to Messrs COLLISON and BENTON, merchants of that place, from which a sufficient knowledge could not be collected from whence she came, where bound, and whose property she was. They therefore sent them back for the log-book. Upon examining it they found she was called the Sally of Hull, burden 250 tons, or thereabouts, mounting six guns, and one swivel, laden with wheat, oats, oatmeal, flour, and beans, bound from Hull to London, Captain William SMITH, Master. A messenger was dispatched to Hull, to the owner, to inform him thereof; he sent Mr Thomas SMITH, brother to the Captain, who gave the following account. That they sailed from Hull on Sunday the 17th of February, and were taken next day, about three o'clock in the afternoon, by a Dutch privateer, off the Spurn Light, mounting sixteen metal and four wooden guns, who refused to ransom her, although 116 guineas were offered; that they took all the hands out of her except himself, a boy, two women passengers, and put on board four of their crew, with orders to make any port in Holland. But that he, with the boy's assistance, so managed the matter, that they run the brig on shore off Wainfleet, on the Lincolnshire coast, where the four men were secured, and put under a proper guard to be conveyed to Hull gaol. During the time they were carrying the men ashore at Wainfleet the brig drove off, and came on this coast, and was taken up, as before mentioned, and towed safe into Woolterton harbour, where she now remains for the owners or insurers orders. There is great reason to believe the cargo is but little damaged.
   On Thursday was paid into the hands of the Rev. Mr PEELE 100 pounds being a legacy left by the Rev. Mr ADAMSON, Rector of Hockwold and Wilton, to the Governors of the charity relief of Clergymen's widows and orphans in Norfolk and Norwich.

Our correspondent at Corton has favoured us with the following melancholy account of the damage the shipping sustained by the high winds, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, near that place: -- The Millbank, of Lynn, John RITETRIE, master, to the westward, with wheat, said to be totally lost; crew all saved. -- The Anstruther, of Dunbar, Robert TAYLOR, master, in ballast, from London to Lynn; crew saved, and it is thought the ship will. -- The Francis, of Yarmouth, a Hull trader; all saved, and the ship likely to be so. -- The John and Betsey, of Burnham, Robert HOOKE, master, from London, in ballast; crew saved, and it is supposed the ship will. -- A large light brig, from Sunderland, name unknown; ship quite spoiled, but the crew saved. -- The Unity, of Burlington, John ESARD, master, to London, with cord; ship, master, and three men lost, one man and one boy saved. -- A large Swedish ship lost on the Newtop; the crew, consisting of 22, saved by a boat from Yarmouth, at the most imminent hazard. -- The Sophia Magdalen, Jacob AKERMAN, master, bound to Newcastle, for coals for Lisbon, went on shore on Thursday morning last.
   The five first mentioned ships are all on shore between Yarmouth Piers and Corton. -- The Unity went ashore on Thursday morning on Lowestoft Beach.
   We hear from Thornham, in this county, that the proprietors of the large brig, called the Sally, of Hull, (mentioned in our paper the second instant) very and amply and most generously rewarded the salvagers thereof, by paying into the hands of Mr John COLLISON, merchant of that place, the sum of 200 guineas, which was by him on Thursday last equally divided among them, according to their customary way of sharing whatever they catch, or take up at sea, which gave general satisfaction, and afforded very great comfort and relief to many large and distressed families, who (through the almost total destruction of the oyster and other fishery on that coast) were reduced to the utmost penury.
   We are further informed, that the said ship received so little damage, that she passed by Thornham on Wednesday last, to the port of London, where she was bound. It was 1600 guineas the Captain offered the Dutch prize master as a ransome [sic], instead of 116, as mentioned by mistake in our last account, but was rejected with contempt.

While abroad we are losing our possessions, at home we are losing our liberties and our wealth. A new budget of taxes has been opened, oppressive in their nature, difficult and dangerous in the collection. To raise a revenue for the support of the nation, a First Minister of State has descended to calculate the quantity of soap that a poor man's family consumes in a week, and to point out a substitute for washing the rags, to which former taxes had reduced the industrious artificer. Every tangible necessity of life is taxed -- even the light is taxed, from the morning dawn which ushers the labourer to his work, down to the wretched rush which conducts him to his bed -- nay, so far has the inventive genius of oppression pushed taxation, that it is proposed to tax the carriage of commodities in every medium of conveyance, whether by land or canals -- whether by rivers or by sea -- and even the security by which the honest part of mankind insure their property from the calamity of fire, for the benefit of their families and creditors, is to be made liable to an impost equal to three-fourths of the premium paid the insurers. Those men who have squandered millions upon millions of national wealth, have the boldness to step forward and say -- you shall pay Us for securing the little remainder, though We are not the insurers.

Fresh, and fine flavoured Strong Teas are now on Sale at the new India Warehouse, Norwich, Which from the Year 1773 hath been kept open Six Hours every Day, for the Sale of no other Article than Tea, Wholesale and Retail, but in no smaller Quantities than two Ounces.
   It is now well known how greatly this Article is adulterated by being mixed with the Leaves of Tea that have been used and dried again; also with various European Leaves manufactured in Imitation of Tea, by which it is made Low in Price, and Weak in Quality, if not even prejudicial to the Health; against which pernicious Practices three Acts of Parliament have been made in the Years 1725, 1731, and 1777. -- From which it is manifest that Dealers, especially Wholesale-Dealers, in Tea, ought to have a thorough Judgment in that Article, but more especially so as it is now evident that even the Chinese themselves have discovered an Art (by some Preparations) of putting a fine Face upon low-priced Teas; some of which, called by the Inspectors of Tea (the Tea-Brokers) in their printed Catalogues "blue painted leaf" -- "dyed Tea" -- "glazed Tea, " etc -- are thereby made to appear 20 or 25 per Cent. above their real Quality, and are in those Catalogues openly declared to be Unfit For Sale; of which Teas the enormous Quantity of three thousand five hundred, and ninety-three Chests have been discovered amongst those of the East India Company's last four sales.
All which were therefore taken out, and returned to China by the Company, who have now pursued proper Measures that such Teas may not be sent them from India in future; and unless the Dutch, the French, and other Nations, have taken the like Measures, it is highly probable that they sell such Teas as by the best Judges of Tea in this Kingdom are pronounced "unfit for Sale;" and it is evident, from the above, that so much must now, More Than Ever, depend on the diligence Attention and Judgment of the Wholesale-dealer, all Teas to this Warehouse will not in future be invariably confined to the Company's Permits, but that Judgment employed which so long dealing in Tea only, and such an uninterrupted Attention, and almost unprecedented Application (for so many Years) to one single Article in Trade may reasonably be supposed to have afforded.
**Not withstanding all Teas to this Warehouse are rated at Ready-money price, (neat Weight, ) yet one, two, or three Months Credit is not (occasionally) regarded; but one Parcel is to be paid for when another is sent.

Sir, Upon seeing a county meeting appointed to be held in Norwich, on Monday the 6th of May next, I cannot resist the dictates of my heart.

It is very certain that Administration entertain the greatest apprehension of the consequences likely to arise from the sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel.

Orders have also been issued to all General Officers belonging to the several regiments to repair immediately to their respective commands, and the various corps of militia in the neighbourhood of the metropolis have been enjoined to hold themselves in immediate readiness for marching.
   In confirmation of the above it is very certain that yesterday a letter was received by the Lord Mayor, from the Earl of SHELBURNE, one of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, directing his Lordship to have the militia called out, and put under arms with all possible expedition; and a letter to the like purpose was sent to all the different Lord Lieutenants throughout the kingdom.

The last Gazette contains the most pleasing intelligence that has been given to the public during the present war; and from the situation of affairs, there is great reason to expect more good news will shortly be received. The thick cloud that has been hanging over this country for some time, seems now to be dispelling, and Providence again appears to smile upon the British arms. it can be no small satisfaction to a man that loves his county to reflect on our present superiority over the enemy both in the East and West Indies, whilst at home our trade is protected, a fleet under Admiral KEMPENFELT blocks up the port of Brest, and another under Lord HOWE makes the ungrateful Dutch to tremble.

At noon the East Norfolk regiment gave an excellent feu do joye in the market place; the Right Worshipful the Mayor and Mr Sheriff COLMAN, gave each an elegant entertainment to their friends on the occasion.
In the evening most of the public streets in the city were handsomely illuminated, a circumstance never remembered on this occasion.
The dull formal mode of placing a row of candles in a window now gave way to emblematical device and a happy display of taste and genius. A transparent inscription, "Thanks To His Majesty For The Late Change Of Ministers," in Surry-street, was very expressive of the motive which induced a grateful people to pay a respectful compliment to their Sovereign. In St Michael's-at-plea, a large G. R.
was elegantly conspicuous; above which was an imperial crown painted on silk, and transparent. -- The 'George Rex' was illuminated by tin lamps, formed on two letters, each, 30 inches high, of wood, and admirably cut.

A Caution.
Within the Space of a Year last past an Estimate of Dilapidations of some Buildings in this Diocese was taken by Messrs STONES, Carpenters, in Norwich, which amounted to 230 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence. A Copy whereof was delivered to the Representatives of the last Incumbent; soon afterwards another Estimate was taken of the same Premisses [sic], by Mr REDGRAVE, Carpenter, of Harleston, which amounted to 56 pounds 15 shillings 10 pence. Then a third Estimate of the same Premisses was taken by Mr Joseph STANNARD, Carpenter, of Norwich, and Mr John BLACKBURN, Stonemason, of the same Place; the last Estimate somewhat exceeded the first, upon which the first Estimate was agreed to be paid. Now as the great Difference between the Estimates had nearly involved two Gentlemen and Friends in a very expensive Law Suit, and to have set them at an irreconcilable Distance, it is hoped that Workmen who may be employed for the Future in such Cases, would be careful to exercise their Judgement, that such disagreeable Consequences may be prevented.

Extract of a letter from Lowestoft, Jan 11.
"I suppose you have heard of the dreadful scene lately exhibited on this coast during the last storm; the particulars are as indescribable as they were deplorable. However it is some satisfaction to know, that every thing possible was done to alleviate the misery of the survivors; some instances of which I think it is requisite to communicate, for the honour of mankind.
The poor trembling, shivering wretches, who escaped miraculously from the wreck, were received by Mr CAPON of the Crown Inn, and treated with that sympathetic generosity which always marks the conduct of his house towards the distressed. Colonel HARVEY, formerly of the guards, accidentally passing through the town, heard of the miserable state of several poor wretches, who in a moment had lost their all, sent for them, and ordered them to be immediately cloathed [sic] at his expence [sic], which, with other charitable donations to them, cost him 6 pounds 6 shillings.
   The inhabitants of the town, and the officers quartered there, joined the contributions with the utmost alacrity; so that I hope those who escaped the devouring ocean were restored to as good a situation as they before held in life, or nearly so."

Extract of a Letter from Southwold, April 18.
"This day arrived the Two Brothers, Capt. LANDFIELD, belonging to Lowestoft, with a large quantity of goods taken up floating at sea off Harwich, consisting of lace, several large chests of wearing apparel, brandy, geneva, wine, and various other valuable articles. During the time Capt. LANDFIELD was taking up the said goods, a Dutch privateer came in sight, and coming up very fast, obliged him to leave a large quantity, and make what sail he could for this port. A number of shot were fired from the privateer during the chace [sic], which damaged his rigging, and wounded four of his men. Capt. LANDFIELD certainly would have been taken, had not the firing from the battery here obliged the privateer to sheer off." On Wednesday died, esteemed as a man, and beloved as a clergyman, the Rev.

Extract of a letter from Sir John Borlase WARREN, Bart., to the Right Hon. the Earl of ORFORD, dated on board the Winchelsea, off the Texel, July 10, 1782.
"My Lord, This day, at half past ten, A. M. the Texel bearing S. by E. four leagues, I discovered the Dutch fleet at an anchor, two leagues off the Elder; they consist of twenty-six sail of ships, and two cutters, eighteen or nineteen of which appear to be of two decks, and have all their sails loose. I am opinion they have not been out above twenty-four hours, and that they will weigh as soon as the breeze springs up, there being little or no wind at present. I have therefore thought proper to acquaint your Lordship thereof, that you may communicate this intelligence to the Gentlemen, and the Mayor of Yarmouth, if the enemy should steer for your coast. I shall at all events, attend upon their motions." Extract of a letter from Capt. DYSON, Commander of his Majesty's sloop Helena, dated Lowestoft Road, July 14, 1782.
   "Yesterday, being in Yarmouth Roads, I received information from the Mayor of Yarmouth, that there had been seen a lugger off Dunwich, at five o'clock the same morning; weighed and stood to the North Westward through the Cockie, wind being Southwardly, thinking she might be gone that way. At day-light, not seeing any thing off Cromer, proceeded [sic] with the tide to the Southward, and found the said lugger chaced [sic] into these Roads; at noon took possession of her; she is called L'Escroe privateer, about 30 tons burthen, from Dunkirk, left that place a week ago, has taken one vessel from London to Gainsborough, which is since said to be retaken. The master and three boys I have put a shore at Yarmouth, with twenty-one prisoners, being the equipage of the said privateer."

We hear that Lord TOWNSHEND having represented to his tenants and neighbours, that the troops employed were so disposed for distant services, that such descents might be made on our coasts as might greatly harass the country, they generously entered into, and agreed to associate to prevent the same upon the following terms: "We whose Names are subscribed, considering that the number of troops to be employed may not be sufficient at this critical time to protect the extensive coast of our country from a descent, agree to form ourselves and learn the exercise and manners of a light corps, consisting of horse and foot, under the command of Lord Viscount TOWNSHEND.
   That we will meet for this purpose every Sunday after divine service, desiring such non-commissioned officers, or men, to instruct us, as may be spared from the regular troops.
   That we will cloath [sic] ourselves in a uniform, and desire pay only when we are called out on the landing of an enemy, and requesting only proper arms and accoutrements from Government.
   That we will meet once a year to choose our own officers, to be recommended by the Lord Viscount for commissions from his Majesty for one year only, when we will fix on those places of rendezvous as shall be most convenient for our exercise.
   That we will act with his Majesty's regular forces in defence of this county, and under such general officers as he is pleased to appoint.
   That we will join such other corps of Volunteers in this county, who have associated for the same just and laudable purpose." Upon which his Lordship engaged, when the number amounted to one hundred, to apply to the Lord Lieutenant to recommend proper persons for commissions, and ask for proper arms, accoutrements, etc The principal people who form the cavalry agreed to find their own horses and uniform, and his Lordship will cloath the foot himself, who are to be men whom the farmers can rely upon to be sober and well intentioned, and to second them in such efforts, by which every good citizen would wish to secure the property and liberty of his country.
   We are happy to add, that fifty-two horsemen, and fifty-eight foot, have already agreed to the articles, and likewise that many other gentlemen of rank and fortune in the county intend to raise corps on a similar plan.

By an Ostend vessel which passed through Yarmouth Roads on Wednesday last we learn, that the Dutch fleet was seen last week cruizing [sic] upon the Dogger Bank.

This has been the most successful year in the whale fishery since these ships have gone in that trade, and probably that ever was known.

Copy of a letter from Sir John Borlace WARREN, Bart., received by Mr WARMINGTON, of Yarmouth, on Saturday last.
Winchelsea, off Scarborough.
22d July, 1782.
Dear Sir, I am sure it will give you pleasure when I inform you, that the Winchelsea has captured two French privateers, one a brig, and the other a lugger, within these three days. The first of them had not taken any thing, but the latter has done much mischief on this coast, having sunk five sail of vessels and sent two into Dunkirk; and I see by his log, that he has had an action with some colliers, in which one of his men was wounded. And he further informs me, that he was at the back of your sands in the same vessel that the Monkey cutter fired at, and about which the Mayor of Yarmouth sent me an express. -- On being interrogated, he first said he was born in Dunkirk, and afterwards that he was an American, his name in the commission is Frenchified, but seems not unlike FAULL; three parts of his crew are English and Irish, four of them now in irons, great villains. I have sent them on shore at this place, with a proper character, and I trust they will be properly examined. -- You will much oblige me by presenting my best compliments to Lord ORFORD, and communicating to his Lordship, that the Dutch fleet are gone North about, and left these seas.
   I remain, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, J. B. WARREN.
P.S. As all the crew of this vessel are English and Irish, if you know any body at Scarborough that is acquainted with BROWN, of Deal, or FAULL, I should think it would be worth your while to write to them on that head.

    The sloop Annies, of Ely, in Fifeshire, James MORRISON, Master, form Hamburgh for Leith, with yarn and other goods, captured the 17th of July off St Abbes' Head, by Le Caprice privateer of Dunkirk, George FERNALD, commander, was retaken and brought into Yarmouth on Friday last, by the Rose pilot-boat, and seven men from Lowestoft. And on Monday were committed to Norwich Castle by John REYNOLDS, Esq., Mayor of Yarmouth, and Commissioner of Oyer and Terminer for the jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty of England, Pell GREENHOW, the prize-master, and Martin BROWN, another of the said privateer's crew, charged with treason and piracy, committed by them upon the High Seas by adhering to the King's enemies, (they being natural-born subjects of his Majesty) and taking and making prize divers of the ships, vessels, and merchandize [sic] of his Majesty's subjects, particularly of the said sloop Annies.
We hear that Government mean to give local names to the regular regiments now recruiting in England, and that the 9th regiment of foot will be called the Norfolk.
   An additional number of Royal Artillery from Woolwich are come to the works at Yarmouth. This party brought down with them two howitzers and nine waggons [sic] of stores; and, we hear, that a park and encampment will be formed of the whole on this station.
    Mr George LEGGE of Holt, is appointed to an Ensigncy in the West Norfolk regiment.

He was endued [sic] with a piously disposed mind, and with the most generous and tender feelings, which led him often to relieve the wants of the necessitous, and to commiserate and alleviate the afflictions of the distressed. This Christian-like disposition, added to his amiable conduct in the several relations of husband, parent, master, and friend, afford a well grounded assurance of his eternal felicity.

Education.
Messrs D'AUBIN and POINSOT Propose to undertake the Education of a few Gentlemen, at their House, in Upper-Surry-Street, Norwich.
   It is hardly possible in the narrow Compass of an Advertisement to insert at large the Method they intend to pursue, therefore they will content themselves to mention some Particulars, from which it will be easy to form a Judgment of it.
   The Number of Boarders shall be limited to Twelve; every one to have a Bed to himself, and be treated in every respect like the Family, or what is called Parlour Boarders. The greatest Attention shall be given to their Morals, and all the Care imaginable taken to give them that Politeness and genteel Address so necessary to a Gentleman, and so seldom attended to in Schools, or Academies, where they most commonly contract a Rudeness, which renders them unfit for good Company, and is the Cause of that Bashfulness and Awkwardness they shew [sic] in entering into the World.
   The Language of the Family shall be French, by which means they will be enabled to practise at any Time the grammatical Principles they have been taught in the School-time.
   The Terms are 30 pounds a Year, and Five Guineas Entrance; for which the young Pupils entrusted to their Care shall be entitled to Board and Lodging, likewise to the Learning of Latin, French, Geography, Writing, Book-keeping, Arithmetic, and Fencing.
   It is useless to mention that Dancing, Drawing, etc must be paid extraordinary by those Gentlemen who are willing to acquire these Accomplishments.

Extract of a letter to Mr John DAY, in St Giles', received on Sunday last, dated on board the Agamemnon, at sea, April 25, 1782.
Sir, It is with concern I write to inform you that your son, Mr Samuel DAY, was wounded in the thigh (the bone broke) in an action we had on the 12th instant with the enemy's fleet, and died from his wounds eleven days after, much regretted by me and every person on board. He was amiable in all respects, shewed [sic] infinite courage, and bore his misfortunes in the most becoming manner.
And as it has pleased Divine Providence you should lose a Son, I hope Mrs DAY, and yourself, will bear the loss with as much fortitude as he bore the wound, considering he died an honour to himself and family -- in the glorious cause of his country. -- I am, with regard, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, Benjamin CALDWELL.

--And on Wednesday John WOODBRIDGE, an accomplice with the above ALCOCK [or ATTOCK or ALLOCK], was also committed.

    Should the patriotic resolution of the county of Suffolk, to build a ship of war, be followed by any measure similar in Norfolk, a correspondent recommends the manning of the ship to the consideration of the Nobility and Gentry, as a mode of strengthening the hand of the Government, better calculated to do this country service than that of building ships and letting them rot in a dock-yard For Want Of Men; and, men can only be induced to service by large bounties.
   The complement of a seventy-four being six hundred, a subscription to the amount of ten thousand pounds might be employed by committees in each town of Norfolk and Suffolk (without the assistance of the officers of the impress service) towards defraying the bounties, and incidental expences [sic] of raising a ship's company, in manner following: 200 able seamen, at 20 guineas each -- 4,200 pounds 200 ordinary seamen, at 15 guineas each ---3, 150 pounds 200 landsmen, at 10 guineas each -- 2,100 pounds Expences [sic] of recruiting, pay, advertisements, etc -- 2,550 pounds Total expence [sic] -- 10,000 pounds.

On reading in this paper of last week an account of the destruction of the turnips by the black caterpillar, another correspondent writes to remark, that their devastation is nearly ended, in consequence of their going into the ground, where they change into a middle state (the crysolis [sic]) betwixt the worm and the flying insect in which latter state, if not destroyed by a severe winter, they fly abroad in the ensuing spring, and the female fly fixes her eggs on the early turnips, from whence are hatched these black destroyers. To destroy these an effectual mode is to drive on as early as they are discovered three or four broods of ducks (to be attended by a boy); these will disperse themselves about, and in the course of a few days (drove to water at noon, and home in the evening,) will clear a large extent of turnips of this voracious pest. -- It is presumed this recommendation will be remembered in a future year, if there is occasion, and generally pursued, as it has been particularly adopted this season by an ingenious farmer, to the almost complete riddance of his land of these innumerable reptiles.

    The late rainy season, it is feared, has proved a very fatal one to the young game, particularly the feathered kind; the game keepers all agreeing, that there never were so many old, nor so few young birds, as at the present time.
   A few days since 100 pounds was paid to the Treasurer of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital by the Rev. Richard BERNEY of Norwich, in compliance with a condition contained in the will of the Rev. Dr. BERNEY.

    Last week died at Ashill, Mrs BUSCALL, wife of Mr Edmund BUSCALL.
    Last week died, much lamented after two days illness, Mr SEPPINGS, of the Heath-house, Fakenham.
   Friday last died, aged 72, Mrs WOODS, of this city. She was endued [sic] with a piously disposed mind, and with the most generous and tender feelings which led her often to relieve the wants of the necessitous, and to commiserate and alleviate the afflictions of the distressed. This Christian-like disposition, added to her amiable conduct in the several relations of wife, parent, mistress and friend, afford a well grounded assurance of her eternal felicity.

The following affidavit was on Thursday last made before the Mayor of Yarmouth, in consequence of which expresses were immediately sent off to the Lords of the Admiralty, and the several Commanders at the different camps along the coast: (Copy.) Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk. Henry HURST, Master of the pilot boat, called the Mayflower, of Yarmouth, voluntarily came before John REYNOLDS, Esq., Mayor of the said borough, and made oath, that this morning about nine o'clock he boarded a Danish vessel, about ten leagues Southeast of Lowestoft, which was bound from Norway to London, with deals, and had on board her an English pilot, named John CHRISTIE, who dwells in Yarmouth, and has been long known to this deponent, and saith, the Captain of the said ship, who spoke English, also the said John CHRISTIE, told this deponent, that the fleet which they saw a-breast, distant about six miles, were the Dutch, and this deponent thereupon went up into the shrouds of the said Danish ship, and could clearly see the said fleet, which consisted of five sail of the line a frigate, a cutter, and four other vessels; that four of the said ships of the line were standing with their heads to the Northward, (the wind West and by North) and the rest were lying to, with their courses hauled up; and the said Captain and pilot told this deponent, that they had sailed in company with the said fleet about ten or twelve leagues.

As Weyborne-hope is the most vulnerable part of the Norfolk coast, would it not be right to have a small encampment (perhaps of two companies) between that and Cromer, as well as to watch the motions of any force that might appear, as to prevent the depredations of privateers and smugglers ? Would not a subscription for building barracks for a thousand men at Acle be a proper measure at this time? Norwich and Yarmouth are particularly interested in such a provision for the troops necessary to be kept on the coast (from which Acle is but nine miles); and, either in time of peace or war, soldiers like good barracks much better than quarters, -- Besides, the men would be kept together doing duty, and improving in military science, and the innkeepers be relieved from a very oppressive burthen, which has already reduced many of them to the greatest necessity.

    Yesterday se'nnight were committed to the Castle, by Dixon HOST, Esq., Thomas TAYLOR, of Darshingham, blacksmith, and John NARBOROUGH, of Ingoldesthorpe, charged with committing a crime not fit to be mentioned among Christians. -- TAYLOR on his examination confessed the fact.
   Last Wednesday William SOUTHGATE was convicted before Starling DAY, Esq., Mayor of this city, for having the preceeding [sic] night, plucked up, cut, and carried away, upwards of two pecks of potatoes, and five cabbages, from out of the garden at Heigham, belonging to Mr Benjamin WEBBER. And not paying the forfeiture as directed by the 6th of his present Majesty, he was committed to the house of correction, there to be kept to hard labour for one month, and to be once whipped before he shall be from thence discharged.
   Wednesday last, as the servant of a grocer at Acle was coming to this city on horseback, with a pair of bags under him, containing about forty shillings in halfpence, and other things, he was met on the way by Stephen ALLEN and Edward ALDRIDGE, both of Norwich, one about 15, the other 17 years age, and whilst one kept him in discourse, the other cut the bag on the opposite, and took thereout twenty shillings worth of halfpence; but the servant soon missing them, rode back to his master, got assistance, pursued, and soon overtook them with the money upon them. They were secured and brought before Roger KERRISON, Esq., who committed them for further examination.
It appeared that they had fled from this city on account of stealing several pairs of shoes.
   On Saturday last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a pea-stack belonging to Mr GRIMWOOD, at Feltwell, in this county, took fire, occasioned by its being badly got up, which in a few minutes consumed the same, together with two large barns, about twenty loads of hay, five lasts of rye, a dove-house, and other buildings. The wind being high, the flames communicated to the parsonage-house, in the occupation of Mr Thomas KING, tho' at the distance of above thirty yards, which was also consumed, with the barn, stables, dove-house, and other buildings, most of the furniture, and two fat hogs, but by the assistance of an engine from Brandon, was prevented from doing any further damage. -- The whole loss is estimated at nearly two thousand pounds.

Last Saturday Lord Viscount TOWNSHEND arrived at his seat at Rainham, and on Sunday was attended by more than an hundred persons of his neighbourhood, tenants and others, when they attended him to Divine service; after which his Lordship selected 52 horsemen, and as many infantry, for the corps he is forming; the latter were immediately cloathed [sic], and the former, the principal part of whom were men of property, or considerable farmers, ordered their own uniforms, and provided their own horses. They then proceeded to choose their officers by ballot, whose names are to be laid before the Lord Lieutenant of the County for commissions.
   They were afterwards entertained at two different tables by his Lordship, and spent the day in great cordiality and satisfaction. -- Several more offered on the occasion.

    The Weather which has so uncommonly prevailed this year, has been ascribed, by a philosophical writer, who has lately published a tract on the subject, to the baneful influence of the two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which for some months past have been in conjunction with, or apparently very near to each other.
   "If it is allowed (says he) that the Sun or Moon have their influences on the earth, it will not be difficult to demonstrate that Jupiter and Saturn, which are within our system, have likewise their peculiar influences, especially when they are in such aspects that their united rays fall forcibly upon us, which, though inferior to the Sun or Moon, yet contribute various ways to affect our atmosphere.
Dr GOADBY, in Meteorologia, has carefully examined the face of nature for several centuries back; and indisputably proves the influence of Saturn and Jupiter upon the Earth. -- Their conjunction, he observes, very rarely happens; but when it does, their effects are very severely felt. -- He mentions, that on one conjunction of those planets, it is recorded, that the inundations in France, Germany, and other countries, were prodigious, carrying away great numbers of people, horses, and other cattle. -- Another conjunction, many years after, occasioned dreadful storms of thunder and lightning, and hail; and the inhabitants of the different parts of Europe were afflicted with dangerous diseases. -- The effects of the present conjunction we have for some months past, experienced, in the change of our summer to what may be almost termed a winter season, and in the late universal disorder which affected all degrees of people throughout Europe..

    This week Stephen ALLEN and Edward ALDRIDGE, committed to the Castle a few days ago for further examination, were fully committed for trial, charged with robbing a servant of Mr PAWSEY, grocer, at Acle, as mentioned in our last. -- Upon examination they confessed the fact.

Now that our grand fleet is sailed to the relief of the garrison of Gibraltar, the Dutch, most likely, will venture to annoy our coast with the squadron under Admiral HARTSINCK [best guess, as the print is smudged], at present lying in the Texel; to oppose which we have not, as yet, a sufficient marine force at home. Whether they will attempt to land on any part of this coast is not so certain, nor will they be civil enough to apprize [sic] us of an Intended visit, but we ought certainly to be prepared for such an event, by learning the use of arms.

Extract of a letter from Mr Thomas RASTALL, dated on board the Polyphemus, at Spithead, Sept. 9, to his father , in the Lamb-yard, Haymarket.
"We sailed on a cruize [sic] to the North Seas, on Sunday the 1st inst.
in search of the Dutch Fleet, and arrived off the Texel on the 4th; a reconnoitring frigate brought us word, that their force consisted of 16 sail of the line, and seven frigates, which, though superior to us in number, dare not face us. Having lain to for three hours, and seeing no inclination in them to engage, we set sail, and arrived safe at our moorings on Saturday last. Our force consisted of 15 sail of the line, two frigates, two cutters, and a sloop. We are now taking in flour, cheese, butter, etc. for Gibraltar, for which place I expect we shall sail on Wednesday next, and from thence to the West Indies."

On Sunday last the Melton Volunteers had their first meeting at Melton Hall; about half past eleven o'clock the drum beat to arms; Sir Edward ASTLEY, Bart. with other officers of the corps, having drawn out the men in the park, before the house, above 150 appeared, several of whom, notwithstanding the shortness of the time, were dressed in their uniform, green and orange in colour. Upwards of 50 respectable farmers in the neighbourhood, who agreed to cloath [sic] themselves, and provide the necessary accoutrements, marched to church, Captain Sir Edward ASTLEY at their head; the other men, in two divisions, followed, headed by the different officers of the corps. A most excellent sermon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. BROWNE, Chaplain to the corps.

Poets Corner For the Norfolk Chronicle.
Verses On the much Lamented Death of Mr John TOOKE, Son of the late Mr TOOKE, of Holt, in this County.

Each virtue dwelt in that lamented youth, Each noble sentiment inspir'd his heart; The love of honour, and the love of truth, Claim'd his whole soul, and each an equal part.

Heaven then will bless a heart so nobly just, A soul to honour and to truth inclin'd; In great Omnipotence he plac'd his trust, And Heaven will cherish his believing mind.
I knew the youth, I knew him very well, I knew his virtues, knew them to be great.
He liv'd belov'd, by all regretted fell; For all lamented his untimely fate.

Full in the prime, the glory of his age, He bow'd his head to unrelenting death; No guardian angel did his end presage, But unexpected he resign'd his breath.

Alas! he's gone, and never can return, That happiness will not on earth be given; Relations, friends, he's left his death to mourn, Until they meet again, and meet in Heaven.

Farewell, dear youth, I'll bid you now adieu! I'll not disturb you in your blest abode; You cannot come - but we must go to you, And seek you in the mansions of your God.

   Last week, Mr Robert BEEVOR, second son of Mr James BEEVOR, of Magdalen-street, in this city, was admitted into the Upper Academy of Cadets at Woolwich. -- It is but justice to observe, that this young gentleman was educated by Mr RIVETT, at East Dereham, who, to a happy facility of instructing, adds the strictest attention to the health and morals of his Academians. Here the genius of youth is studied, and the several branches of useful knowledge, suited to their tastes and talents, are taught in a plain regular manner; the dull dogma of schools, where youth of every disposition are tutored in the same Routine of book-learning, is avoided, and the sciences inculcated with a view to professional accomplishment. We are always ready to applaud merit, but never more so than in whatever relates to the education of youth, an object not so frequently nor properly considered as its vast importance requires.

   At the sessions last week, Rachel ASHLEY, found guilty of stealing several small things, the property of Thomas HUBBARD, was ordered to be privately whipped and discharged; and William BRIGHTMER, for stealing some wearing-apparel from Anthony TILLS, was ordered to be confined three months in the house of correction, and kept to hard labour.

   On Saturday Thomas DENNY, alias Thomas SMART, was committed to the city gaol, charged with stealing a livery clothcoat from out of a chariot in the King's-head-inn-yard. -- The same day Mary SMITH was committed to the same gaol on suspicion of privately stealing from the person of William BEEZER, of Great Yarmouth, one guinea and a half in gold, and three shillings in silver.

Flying Camp.
On Thursday, October 24, the right wing, consisting of 5 companies, viz. Lord ORFORD's, Major LLOYD'S, Captain GIRLING's, Captain BULWER's, (or first light infantry), and Captain MONTGOMERIE's, of the West Norfolk regiment, struck their tents at Castor [sic], and marched through Yarmouth to Haddiscoe, 12 miles, where they encamped.
Next day, the division marched four miles and encamped on Windmill-hills, Aldby; and, on Saturday, crossed the river Yare, at Reedham, by a temporary bridge, (erected that morning in a few hours) 12 feet wide, and 104 long, and encamped on Reedham cliff, eight miles, where this detachment remained till Monday morning, when they marched, by Cantly and Beighton, to Acle-green, 11 miles.
   On Tuesday the 29th, the division passed through Acle and Southwalsham, to Wroxham, where they encamped; and next day, marched, by Wayford-bridge, to Happisburgh, 12 miles. Here this flying corps lay encamped, between the church and the cliffs, till Friday morning, when they struck tents and marched by the coast to Winterton, 12 miles; and on Saturday arrived on their ground of encampment at Castor [sic], in good health and spirits, after a march of 73 miles at this wet season of the year.
   It is but justice to declare, that, added to the usual attention of Lord ORFORD, to the service, the greatest civility and regard was paid to the officers and privates on this circuit, by the gentlemen of the country through which they passed. At Reedham, Mr LAYDON (who is remarkable for his liberality on all occasions) gave the men two barrels of beer, and would if he had had permission, have presented them with a fat bullock. At Panxworth, Mr John KERRISON entertained the officers with a cold collation, wines, etc and the privates, etc with a pint of beer and bread and cheese. At Wroxham, Mr Bartlett GURNEY had ordered the men a barrel of beer, which they received on Tuesday evening; and next morning, Mr Chapman IVES, of Coltishall, presented them with a barrel.
   At Happisburgh, on Friday morning, Sir John BERNEY and Mr Alderman KERRISON gave every non-commissioned officer, private soldier, and the artillery and batteaux-men, a breakfast of bread and cheese, and one pint of beer.
   Early next morning, at Winterton, the Rev. Mr IVORY gave a barrel of beer, and at ten o'clock another barrel was distributed to the men from Engle KNIGHTS, Esq.
   To that above may be added, that Lord ORFORD ordered the detachment a barrel of beer each day that no gentlemen had asked permission to give one.
   The above flying-camp consisted of 276 men, two field officers, the quarter-master, surgeon, and seven subalterns. Not a single complaint was made of the behaviour of the men, who bore the extremes of wet and windy weather in a manner honourable to the best troops and which reflected as much credit on the command, as on the disposition of those gentlemen who took this opportunity of paying a compliment to the service.

Friday morning, the 1st instant, came ashore, during a severe storm, at Waxham, in this county, a large fish of a species not yet described by the naturalists. It is about five feet ten inches long, and four feet in circumference, and has four legs and paws, the two hinder of which have a joint; from which circumstance it is thought it occasionally sits upright, like the baboon. Its head is round and large and of a sandy colour. The back is broad, and belly prominent, and, on the whole, resembles a porpus [sic], more than any sea production we have seen.

Upon Mr WHITBREAD's application to Lord SHELBURNE, at the head of the brewers, for opening the ports, and upon several letters of information from the West of England, relative to the riots that were breaking out on the occasion of the high price of corn, Lord SHELBURNE sent no less than five of his inferior agents over the whole kingdom, to make himself master of the state of the poor; the price of corn, and other necessaries, with its probable rise before the next harvest; the situation of the farmers; what their prices ought to be; with various circumstances - and at the same time, that he might not be deceived by dealers and factors, he sent other persons to Holland, Flanders, Germany, Dantzick [sic], Spain, Portugal, and the coast of Barbary, for information, to discover the price and quantity, and prospects of the prices. He had several conferences with the Russia merchants upon sending wheat from the Ukraine through the straits of Constantinople.
It is there only 10 pence per bushel; the freight to any port in the Archipelago would be 1 shilling 2 pence more, and reshipping in vessels under neutral colours,with freight from thence to London, would be from 3 shillings 6 pence to 4 shillings 6 pence a bushel, according to circumstances -- thus it might be got to London for 6 shillings 6 pence a bushel, which is a lower price, probably by half a crown than it will bear in England. -- Orders have been promised for 500,000 quarters, if the Empress will take care that the trade shall be established.
   They write from Naples, that the English agents had failed in their endeavours to buy up Sicilian corn, such large quantities having been before purchased for France, where both harvest and vintage have failed in a degree alarming.

Another correspondent informs us, that on Thursday the 21st the verdict given at the last assizes for the county of Norfolk, in the important cause between Sir Martin FOLKES, Baronet, and Robert HALES, Esq., Lords of the manor of Wells, plaintiffs, and the Commissioners for the preservation of the port of Wells, defendants, came under the review of the Court of King's Bench, in consequence of an application made by the plaintiffs for a new trial.
   The question to be tried was, whether an embankment made by the late Sir John TURNER, Bart. in the year 1758, across a creek communicating with the channel, which forms Wells harbour, had been of prejudice to the port, by diminishing the quantity and force of its back water.
   The cause was first tried at the Summer assizes held at Norwich, 1781, when, on the opinion of Mr MYLNE, the engineer, (who attributed the decay of the harbour to natural causes only) the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs; but the defendants alleging, that they were unprepared at the instant to examine and controvert the principles of Mr MYLNE's opinion (which was new to them) the Court of King's Bench, on their application, granted them a new trial (on payment of costs) for that purpose.
   The cause accordingly came on to be tried a second time at the last assizes, when the evidence of Mr SMEATON, the celebrated engineer, (who entirely co-incided in opinion with Mr MYLNE) was refused to be heard, and the plaintiffs were not permitted to give any evidence tending to shew [sic], that other harbours on the same coast, of the same nature, and subject to the same winds, had in the same space of time, undergone similar alterations to those which had happened at Wells, and the Jury therefore found a verdict contrary to that in the former trial.
   The court on the present application, unanimously disapproved of the rejecting the evidence abovementioned, declaring the whole question to be a mere matter of scientific opinion, incapable of being properly discussed without the evidence of men of science, conversant in the nature of harbours; and that the state of other harbours on the same coast, (where no such embankments were) was very material evidence to illustrate the truth of the engineer's opinion, and ought therefore to have been admitted. On this ground the Court ordered the verdict to be set aside, and granted a new trial.
   Lord MANSFIELD passed high encomiums on the consummate skill and integrity of Mr SMEATON, who had on several occasions been examined in causes of a similar nature, tried before his Lordship.

    Swaffham being found inadequate to the cantonment of two companies on the West Norfolk regiment, a detachment of forty privates are ordered to be quartered in the village adjacent.

    A correspondent at Lincoln informs us, that Master CROTCH, the admirable musical genius, and to whom this city has the honour of giving birth, is at present performing in that city, where he excites the admiration of the public in general, and the cognoscenti in particular, not only by his extraordinary musical performances, but his literary accomplishments.

On the morning of Wednesday se'nnight was drove ashore on Winterton beach, the ship Sundsvall, [captain] Carl Emanuel BRANDT, of and from Lundersfal, in Sweden, bound to Lisbon, laden with timber, deals and tar; the ship is wrecked; the cargo likely to be saved.

    On Tuesday last was married Mr John OXLEY, late of this city, to Miss Jane MASTERMAN, of London.

    Sunday last died, Mr NETLEY [might be NOTLEY], aged 68, formerly an eminent upholsterer in this city.

    Sunday last was married, Mr Joseph FEARMAN, collar-maker, in St Simon's, to Miss S. CHILVERS, of St Andrew's, in this city.

   On Monday last was married at Crostwick, near Northwalsham, in this county, Capt. John BOND, of Lynn, to Miss Ann CARTER of Happisburgh.

    By a letter received from Plymouth, we hear, that 104 of the crew of the Hector were landed there, being all that were saved, and that Mr HARVEY, son of Mr HARVEY, schoolmaster, in this city, a Lieutenant of the said ship, died on board. [The following description of the loss of the Hector is taken from the Norfolk Chronicle of 16 Nov 1782, P.2, Col.2. It was not included with the snippets of that date, as there was no evident link with Norfolk at the time I did them.] Extract from a letter from Newfoundland, Oct. 13.
"We have just now here a great number of the most miserable objects I ever saw, the crew of the Hector man of war, of 74 guns; they were taken up by a small brig, and brought in here. The Hector had an engagement with two French frigates, which she beat off, after having lost a great many men in [sic] killed or wounded, but a most dreadful gale of wind came on immediately after the action, and she was so leaky, they could scarcely keep her above water. The brig just came in sight as they were going to leave her, and commit themselves to the mercy of the waves in their boat." The fate of the wounded men on board the Hector, of 74 guns, which foundered off the Banks of Newfoundland, is truly pitiable; and what they must have suffered when left by the remainder of the crew (who were taken up by a ship arrived in Ireland) may be more easily conceived than described. The Hector parted from the Jamaica fleet a week before the storm came on, in order to proceed for Halifax; from after she fell in with two large French frigates, who, seeing her in a shattered state, engaged her for some hours, in which a considerable number of Hector's men were killed and wounded. The next day it began to blow hard, when, the leaks greatly increasing upon the crew, a ship appeared, which saved about 200 of the men. The rest were unavoidably left to go down with the vessel, which perhaps might not be for some hours after.

   Thursday last died, Mrs BRINGLOE, wife of Mr BRINGLOE, tea-dealer, in this city.

And upon the said Search were found in the said House six Dozen and four skains [sic] of Dorseteen Shoot, three Gross of fine Camblet and other Warps, of different Colours; ten Dozen odd Warps, short Reel, one Gross and an half of different coloured Warps, on Bobbins, two Gross, and two Dozen of coloured Yarns, long Singles, and one Gross of short Yarn, of different Colours, all the above being underwrought Woollen Yarn.

House of Commons.
...Monday, Dec. 16.
[snip]...The Lord Mayor [of London] described again the distress of the poor of the metropolis. He said they were in danger of being starved, and starved by an act of Parliament -- the 21st of George III. chap.25. He mentioned the grievance arising from stating the average prices of grain, not from the weekly markets, but from a bulked average of three months. Hence it was that barley, for an instance, was carried up to the enormous price of 36 shillings the quarter; a price which put it out of the power of the poor to purchase it. His Lordship then moved that the Chairman be instructed to move the House for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the above act. He was seconded by Mr HUSSEY.
   The Lord Advocate agreed with the Right Honourable Magistrate in the necessity of making some regulation for the benefit of the poor for reducing the price of corn; but he could not go the whole length of consenting to a total repeal of the corn act; it had been made on mature deliberation, and upon system; its good effects had been frequently felt; and therefore would recommend it to the Right Honourable Magistrate to withdraw his motion, and make another for leave to bring in a temporary bill; and the House could then go into the consideration of the corn act at their leisure.
   Sir Edward ASTLEY desired gentlemen to be cautious how they altered the Corn Laws lightly. He said he had as much feeling for the poor as others; but if the promotion of the prosperity of agriculture was not kept in view, the landed interest would be very considerably affected, and such gentlemen as himself would have their tenants come to them and say, "You must take your farms upon yourselves, the new Corn Laws have made it no longer worth our while to till them." If the husbandmen were discouraged from the produce of corn by its being rendered a profitless species of cultivation, arable lands would be turned into pasture, grass would be grown instead of grain, and the consequence would be of the most serious nature to the whole kingdom. Instead of striking at the honest farmers, by too much and too unlimited an encouragement of the importation of foreign corn, Sir Edward advised gentlemen to retrench their luxuries and their superfluities.
Let them wear no powder on their pates for a twelvemonth, and the difference would be incredible. A great deal of wheat flour was made into starch, and a great deal of starch into powder. If powder were forborne, we should be able to see men as nature made them. At present the carrotty [sic] haired man, the black haired man, and the brown haired man, appeared all alike.
   Another means of preventing the country from wanting corn so much, would be to stop the exportation of spirits and check the distillery. By that means the worst consumption of malt would give way to the better, and the poor would be relieved by more barley's coming to market for general purchase. [Snipped]

"This Morning was seen in the Offing three of his Majesty's cutters on a cruise, two of which fell in with two French lugger privateers, to which they gave chace [sic], and soon came up with one, and took her; they took out her materials and then sunk her. The other was chaced into these roads within reach of the guns from our battery, and was boarded by the Hunter cutter's boat, and conveyed to Yarmouth. She had taken two prisoners on board from two vessels taken yesterday, and soon after they were retaken, and both carried into Yarmouth roads." It is now in consideration to erect beacons, with proper signals, along the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, from Harwich to Lynn. So necessary and useful a mode of alarming a country on the approach of an enemy, would be attended with little trouble or expence [sic], and be productive of the very best consequences.

John PRIME, for stealing a quantity of flour, the property of Mr FORD, of Halesworth, was sentenced to three years hard labour on the Thames. William HORRIX, for stealing a silver table-spoon, the property of Mrs BULL, of Sudbury; John BAKER, for fraudently [sic] obtaining shoes and stockings, from out of the shops of Messrs KENDAL and Mrs WOODWARD, of this town; and Seth BULL, for obtaining, under like pretences, four yards of Irish Cloth, from out of the shop of Mr WALPOLE, of Bury, were sentenced to six months imprisonment.

Before the Judges left town, they were pleased to respite John SONES from execution, on condition of serving his Majesty on the coast of Africa, or the East Indies.

Upon Lord SHELBURNE's hearing of the intention of a meeting in the county of Suffolk, to consider of building a ship of the line for the service of Government, he expressed the highest satisfaction, and declared if that noble example was followed, the empire of the sea should soon be restored to England. He wrote immediately to some friends in Suffolk, earnestly requesting their attendance and support at the meeting.
   There was a very respectable meeting of Gentlemen last Monday at Stowmarket, when it was unanimously agreed to build a ship of the line, and very liberal contributions are expected to flow in from all quarters of the county.
   It appears by a letter from Lord SHELBURNE, read by Sir John ROUS, at the above meeting, on Monday last, that the difficulties attending the building of a line of battle ship are by no means so great as were apprehended. One of seventy-four guns may be ready to launch in eight months, and at the expence [sic] of not more than 30,000 pounds.
This will not appear incredible when it is understood, that Government furnishes the guns, stores, etc. They did so with respect to the three ships built by the East India Company for the public service, and 100,000 pounds more than defrayed the charge of them all, to the Company.

Thursday the following melancholy accident happened in Ipswich.
James, the second son of Mr MARSHALL, butcher, in Tacket-street, wanting a knife, he desired a boy to fetch him one; on the boy's return, the young man took it of him, and in endeavouring to empty a paunch over a brick wall, he was overwayed [sic] by its weight, and the knife by some accident penetrated to his heart and killed him on the spot.
The jury brought in their verdict accidental death.

On Thursday last the Rev. Thomas COOKE, the younger, Clk. M.A.
was instituted to the rectory of Bildeston in Suffolk, on the presentation of William Beale BRAND, Esq.
   At the general meeting of the county of Suffolk, held on the 5th inst.
William MIDDLETON, Esq., in the chair, it was unanimously resolved, "That the county of Suffolk, sensible of the inferiority of the naval forces of Great Britain, compared with that of other European powers, with whom we are now at war, do undertake by voluntary subscription to build a man of war of 74 guns, for the use of the public." -- A committee was at the same time appointed to put the above into execution, and receive subscriptions.

    A very respectable subscription has been obtained at Ipswich in support of the spirited resolution of the county of Suffolk, 738 pounds 13 shillings and 6 pence having been raised before the subscription was complete, and while there were three parishes to be called on, one of them (St Clement's) the largest in the town; so that it is apprehended 1,000 pounds at least will be raised in Ipswich only, where some gentlemen, clergymen, etc, subscribed 50, others 25 pounds or 20 guineas, some 10; and the tradesmen, etc from five down to one guinea each; which example, it is supposed will followed by most other towns in the county. The subscription at Stowmarket amounted to 3,699 pounds 7 shillings.

As Mrs WARD, of the Falcon Inn, Beccles, was returning from Lowestoffe [sic] in an open cart, with two female relations, in endeavouring to pass a loaded waggon [sic], the cart was unfortunately overturned, and they fell under the waggon, and before the waggoner could stop his horses, one of the wheels went over Mrs WARD, and killed her on the spot, and had not the horses been stopt [sic] at the instant they were, the other women must inevitably have shared the same fate; they however happily escaped with their lives, tho' much bruised.

Last week the Rev. Dr FRAMPTON and Mr SANDIVER went round the Suffolk part of Newmarket, for the subscription towards the new ship to be presented to Government, which was so very liberal as, to use the Doctor's own words, was more like a seaport than an inland town, as all the grooms and jockies [sic] on the Suffolk side generously subscribed two guineas each; so that the whole in that little part of Newmarket raised near 100 guineas. If the whole kingdom would follow the example, our numerous enemies might still dread the name of Englishmen! By the last accounts, the Suffolk subscription, for the building a man of war for the use of the public, amounted to 17,500 pounds.

    Saturday, at a Great Court held at the Moor-hall, in Ipswich, Thomas HALLUM and Henry SEAKAMP, Esqrs., were chosen Bailiffs for the year ensuing. Same time Mr WILSON and Mr FROST, were chosen Chamberlains.

They afterwards returned to the house and stripped it of cash and every thing of value, with which they got off undiscovered. -- It is somewhat remarkable, that she had not a servant who lived in the house to defend her from attacks of such lawless ruffians.

   The body of Mrs Frances PHILLIPS, of Eriswell, who was murdered, as mentioned in last week's paper, was found lying in the sand, covered with a sack, about a quarter of a mile from her house, by James FULLER, sen. and John RUTHERFOD, jun. who immediately informing the neighbourhood of the state it was found in, James MAY, alias FOLKES, and Jeremiah THEOBALD, otherwise HASELL, were apprehended on suspicion of committing the murder, and after a long examination on Saturday last, before John TURNER, Gent. Coroner, were committed to Bury gaol for the said offence.
   One of the prisoners, THEOBALD, was tried at the Lent assizes for Suffolk, for a burglary in the house of Mr FULLER, of Melford, but was found guilty only of larceny, and permitted to enlist for a soldier.
-- He has long been a terror to the neighbourhood, and displays that audacious behaviour in prison which is commonly the natural concomitant of guilt.

    A Dutch smuggling vessel which was landing some goods in a creek just below Dunwich, in Suffolk, was seized by a Custom-house officer, and three country-men whom he had hired to assist him, but they were no sooner got on board but the Dutchmen got them down the hatchway, and there confined them; the vessel then immediately put to sea, and carried the exciseman and his men to Holland, where they are now prisoners.

    Monday last a gentleman being shooting in a plantation near Bury, he discovered a man concealed in the bushes, with no other covering but an old blue coat; not being able to give a satisfactory account of himself, the gentleman told him he must go with him to Bury, but he resolutely replied he would not be ordered by any man. The gentleman, however prevailed with him to accompany him to his house, where he cloathed [sic] and fed him, after which he confessed he was a deserter from the Lincolnshire militia, when it was thought proper to lodge him in Bury gaol, till proper enquiries can be made; as from circumstances it appears more probable, that he is one of those daring offenders who have lately been set at large from the ballast lighters, and who, at this time, are dispersed round the country committing depredations on the public.
