freehold. These the robbers did not find. When they had done their work, one who seemed to be the Captain, called over their number from 1 to 16, and all having answered, they went away, carrying with them, or destroying property to the amount of nearly 150l. During the robbery two of the gang kept guard at the door of a small cottage adjacent, being the only habitation near Mr. Drinkwater's. HAMPSHIRE. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. A singular eircumstance occurred on board the ship Regalia, in the harbour of Portsmouth, a short time since.The Captain (Palmer) had two apprentices sent him from London, by the owners, both of whom were regularly bound, and had been on board some time. One of them fell overboard in the harbour, and was with much difficulty got on board the ship; when the supposed lad proved to be a young girl about sixteen years of age! She said she had procured a living near London, by working in the fields; but disliking the employment, and without a character to recommend her to any housekeeper's employment, she was induced to pass herself off as a young lad, wishing to go to sea, when she was regularly bound to serve as an apprentice to the owners of the Regalia. The crew handsomely subscribed to rig her out with female clothing, and she is for the present under the notice of the Hon. Mrs. Grey. KENT. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.-A short time since, as William Gray, of Dover, was ripping up an old jacket that he had purchased for two shilings and sixpence, and had worn two years, he discovered under a patch that had been sewn on one of the sleeves, two ten pound, two five pound, and two one pound Bank of England notes, which he of course claimed as his own. LANCASHIRE. A preacher in a chapel at Middleton a short time since, zealous in the cause of salvation, and wishing to enforce the doctrine he was promul gating, had asked several times, “What shall we do to be saved?" when one of his auditors, probably absorbed in worldly thoughts, and the recollection of the tumults which had so lately Il disgraced society and alarmed the peaceable inhabitants of Middleton, roused from his reverie by the repetition, "What shall we do to be saved?" called out involuntarily, "Send for the Scotch Greys directly!" SURREY. ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-This case happened at Ham, on Friday, May 29, and the assassin is in custody, and was examined at Kingston on the following day.-He was footman in a gentleman's family at Ham, and the object of his rancour was the Ladies' maid in the same family. The latter had some friends from London call on her on Friday, and she accompanied them to Ham Fair, where she is said to have taken the arm of one of the company. The asssasin had previously given her to understand he would shoot her if she took the arm of any man, and on her entering the house, he verified his threat, by discharging a pistol at her loaded with slugs.— The young woman received the charge in her arm, but her head and side have also received injury. She is expected to survive. The assassin is lodged in Kingston gaol. MARRIED. Mr. Thomas Simpson, of High-street, Borough, Esq. banker, Cateaton-street. to Miss Paine, daughter-in-law of John Haddock, Lately, at Gainsborough, Mr. Ridge to Mrs. Brown, widow, both of Morton.-Their united ages amount to 161 years. DIED. At his house at Vauxhall, Wm. H. Faulkner, Commander in the Royal Navy, son of the Admiral of that name, and brother to the brave Capt. Faulkner, who fell in the moment of victory, while lashing his ship to the French frigate La Pique. The gallant Commander, whose death service, where his merit has been often tried; in we now record, was universally beloved in the him centered the expert seamen, blended with that of the elegant classic scholar and accomplished gentleman. His wife has to deplore the loss of a truly excellent husband, and his country of a faithful defender. Lately, in France, Sonnini, the celebrated traveller. Lately, Sir Francis Molyneux, Gentleman Usher of the Bluck Rod, and Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt has been appointed to that Office by the Lord Chamberlain (the Marquis of Hertford.) At Harnam, near Salisbury, aged 100, Mrs. Sanger. END OF THE FIFTH VOLUME. London: Printed by and for J.
