different roads. And every house, every room, every bed in York, by an incessant change of voters, at the rate of about two thousand a day, created a consumption of provisions that might have otherwise served this city for zwelve months.

Lynn, June 6. A person of promising circumstance and respectable connections in life, on Monday se'nnight decoyed a girl only twelve years of age into a barn at Terrington, near Lynn, and committed a rape upon her person. The girl, when the offender accosted her, was dibbling potatoes in a field, with several other persons, who were under his orders, and to whom, as soon as released, she complained of the treatment she had received. A warrant for the apprehension of the ravisher was soon after procured; in consequence of which he absconded: but being pursued, was traced to Stamford about eleven o'clock on Thursday night. Here the took the Nelson coach, and proceeded into the north. The party in quest of him, set off after him, and about eight o'clock on Friday morning found him at breakfast at Markham Moor. Being apprehended, he acknowledged the offence with which he was charged, and said that he did not mean to eva e justice, but intended, after have ing been into Cumberland to see his wife and three children, who were then residing there, to have returned into Norfolk to take his trial. After talking rationally and collectedly for a few minutes, he requested permission to go into the garden, which was granted, and he returned. Complaining of indisposition, he begged to retire a second time, which was permitted; but he had not been absent above two minutes, when the report of a pistol attracted attention, and the miserable man was found to have blown his brains out.

A coroner's inquest sat on his body on Saturday, and retorned a verdict-felo de sr. He was immediately buried in the cross-road near Markham Moor.

London, June 6. On Thursday night, hetween ten and eleven o'clock, as a gentleman wa crossing Piccadilly, near the corner of Bond-street, a chariot driving furiously along knocked him

down, and the carriage went over his body He was taken to Mr. Grange's, the fruiterer's, near the spot, where he expired in about ten minutes. The coachman escaped with very little observation of the spectators than can lead to a discovery. All that was observed was, that he had on a white livery, that there were three lamps in front of the carriage, and two females in it, appa rently servants. The deceased proves to be a Mr. Lovenell, a gentleman of considerable property.

10. A serious affray took place on Sunday afternoon in St. James's market. Two or three Irishmen who were pass ing having been ridiculed by some butchers, retorted the abuse, and blows ensued. A great number came up to the assistance of each party, some of whom were armed with whatever articles they could catch up at the moment. The contest lasted about three quarters of an hour, until each party were so beaten that they were obliged to consent to a cessation of hostilities. Upwards of twenty were taken home dangerously wounded, and eight with fractures and broken limbs were taken to the Middlesex hospital.

11. Dispatches were received from Egypt this morning, with disasterous intelligence from the British troops in that quarter.

An expedition was sent from Alexandria to take possession of Rosetta. When the troops arrived in the town, where no opposition was expected, they found troops posted every where, and every house almost a fortified place, from which a galling and incessant fire was poured upon them. Retreat from the town was rendered necessary - they retreated into the plain, and prepared for battle. The Turks, superior in numbers, (infinitely superior they must have been to have gained any advantage over British troops!) attacked them, and after a dreadful conflict, it is with regret we add, our troops were forced to retire. Our loss is said to have amounted to 1400 men. The remainder of our troops are pent up in Alexandria.

Dover, June 12. A few days back remarkable circumstance occurred near this town, in which the hand of

a

Providence seems particularly to have interposed. Two girls, one of whom had the care of a child, went for a walk with it on the heights, at the back of the town, when, imprudently setting it down near the edge of the cliff, and going a small distance from the spot, the child, in attempting to rise, and the ground being on the decline, rolled over; no assistance of course, on their part, could be rendered, as the cliff was nearly perpendicular, with very little growing on it. However, on their going round, which was a great distance, they discovered the child suspended by its clothes hanging to a shrub which grew out of the cliff, from whence it was with great difficulty liberated, without receiving any injury.

London, June 19. Yesterday morning

a very extraordinary and singular event took place in Fleet-street, which was attended with serious consequences.

About ten o'clock, whilst the street was thronged with passengers, a man, passing along, fired off a pistol. The ball, as appears from circumstances, must have taken an oblique direction, for in its passage it grazed the forehead of a lady, who happened to be passing at the time, and thence passed through the top window of Mr. Davison's shop, and

coming in contact with some hard sub. stance, fell to the ground, and was pick. ed up by the shopman. opman. The lady immediately on receiving the shot fell to the ground, and was taken up quite senseless. It was found, however, that

the ball had not penetrated deeply, and there are great hopes of the lady's recovery. After having the wound dressed, she was taken home in a coach to her

residence in Hatton Garden. It does not appear that the lady had any acquaintance with the man who committed the rash act. What appears most remarkable, is, that the pistol was fired with so much secrecy and caution, that no person passing at the time perceived in what manner it was done. From the best consideration it is supposed that the man intended to shoot himself, and for that purpose had placed the pistol in a slanting direction at his head; but missing his aim, the ball had passed on one side, and struck the lady, who was un
