"We lament much to hear that Mr.Amyatt has advertised all his hounds and horses for sale. It is to be regretted, when any pack of hounds retire from the country, as hunting is beyond all doubt beneficial in improving the breed of horses, and adding to the health and enjoyment of those who partake in the amusement ; but it is doubly to be regretted when a master of hounds relinquishes his calling," who , with liberality, kindness, consideration, and urbanity unequalled, has hunted the same country for ten seasons. We can only say many may succeed, none will exceed him."

Incendiarism, highway-robbery, and sheep-stealing, form part of the catalogue of crime which have again disgraced the county of Wilts, during the past week.

Between 6 and 7 o'clock on Thursday evening, Mr.Berry of Etchilhampton, was attacked on his return from Devizes market, before he had proceeded a quarter of a mile from the town, knocked down, and robbed of 4 sovereigns and other moneys.

On the same night or early on Friday morning, Twenty two-teeth Southdown wether sheep, the property of Mr.B.Glass, were stolen from a field at Worton. The sheep were marked D.C on the near hip, and a reward of 10 guineas has been offered to any person who will give such information as will lead to the conviction of the offender. The number of single sheep stolen from various folds in different parts of the county almost exceeds belief.

On Monday evening two wheat ricks, a bean rick, a hay rick, a barn, and a stable, the property of Mr.Samuel Pickett of Wroughton, near Swindon, were consumed by fire - the work of an incendiary. The wretch took care to kindle the fire in that part of the farm yard where the wind (blowing strong at the time) was likely to have the greatest effect; and if his object was merely the destruction of property, it has been fully accomplished. Mr.Pickett, we are happy to say, was insured. The fire was discovered about 7 in the evening, and raged with ungovernable fury, until it could find no further vent. Mr.Pickett, at the time, was not returned from Swindon market.

On the same evening, a rick of hay, valued at nearly £150, the property of Mr.Wm.Dowling, of South Tidworth, was set on fire and wholly consumed. Strong suspicion is attached to some of the laborers in the parish out of employ. The property was insured.

Also the same evening, at Clatford, near Andover, the whole of the premises of the late Mr.Head, were consumed by fire; together with a large quantity of corn and wool, and several pockets of hops. This fire was also the act of an incendiary.

During the last two months, the scarlet fever has been very prevalent in the towns of Marlborough and Hungerford, and several children have fallen victims to it. We are, however, happy to learn that the cases are now less numerous, and it is hoped that the disease is on the decline.

"Don't talk so loud, man, observed the Magistrates at the Devizes Petty Sessions on Tuesday, to a person, who was making the hall ring with his voice. "Don't talk so loud - (reiterated the officer of the Court) the Magistrates ba'ant deef !" "I be a little hard of hearing," replied the man, at the same time raising his hand mechanically to his ear," and so it is impossible that I can do any better !"

We regret to learn from our Dublin correspondent, that owing to the failure of the potatoe crops in Mayo and Galway it is apprehended that much distress may be endured in some of the districts in these counties before the expiration of the winter. The deterioration of the seed is the assigned reason for this calamity.

On Friday evening 205 tenants of the allotments let out by the Bishop of Bath and Wells were regaled at the Palace with their annual substantial entertainment of solid English fare, roast beef, plum pudding, &c. His Lordship attended, for a short time, the convivial party, and proposed a toast, "Success to the Allotment System," which was drunk with nine times nine; after which, "Good landlords and good tenants," drunk with three times three. Mr.Emery, the steward, then handed the Bishop the whole of the rents, and proposed his good health, which was drunk with acclamation; after which his Lordship retired. The whole of the evening was one of true old English hospitality. - Bath Journal.

On Wednesday the 30th ult., the Chippenham Town Association for Prosecuting Felons, held their Annual Meeting at the Angel Inn, when the Secretary (Mr.W.Wilmot) informed the Members that they had no prosecutions during the last year.

We find that our report of the vestry at St.John's church on the 30th ult., was in some degree incorrect:- It appears that there is not the least evidence of any description, that the Corporation ever gave a bond or bonds to the Churchwardens of St.John's, or to any one else, for the £115, the payment of which formed the subject of discussion at the above vestry, and which is not one sum, nut the aggregate amount of several sums given by different persons at different times. Neither (it appears) did the Corporation insist upon any proposition for the investment of this money, or even suggest or wish for the appointment of more that one Trustee on their part. The Corporation can certainly have no private interest to serve by the investment; the preservation of the fund for the object of the several charities must, or ought to be, the wish of all parties. We trust therefore it will be amicably arranged.

Archery

Benham Park was the scene of great festivity and gaiety on Tuesday and Wednesday week, and the noble and elegant science of archery was there and then displayed to the greatest perfection. The weather, which was unprecedentedly fine for this advanced period of the year, enhanced the amusements of the days. The members of the West Berkshire, of the Royal Toxopholite, and of the East Berkshire Archery Societies shot for two very handsome pieces of plate (purchased by subscription) on Tuesday. Mr.Edwin Meyrick gained first prize, consisting of an elegant silver claret ewer and salver (value 30 guineas), and Mr.G.Escott, won the silver ink stand (value £6 10s), by making the most central hit in the gold. These prizes were decided at 30 double ends of three arrows each, and at a distance of 100 yards. Mr.E.Meyrick made 55 hits in the target, and the value of his score was 203. On the following day (Wednesday) some of the most ardent archers again assembled on the ground at Benham, and shot for a silver cup, which was closely contested, and was at last won by Mr.T.Pearson, who made 48 hits of the value of 174. Twenty four double ends were shot for this prize, at the varied distances of 100, 80 and 60 yards, each distance twice repeated. The shooting on both the above days was excellent, and it must have been most gratifying to the West Berkshire Archers that all the winners were members of their society. A brilliant ball took place at Benham House, on Wednesday evening; it was attended by nearly every family of respectability in the county, and by many distinguished guests, amounting altogether to 220. The last strains of John Weippert's band did not cease till five o'clock on the following morning, and thus concluded an archery season of the most unparalleled success.

Among the company were the Earl, Countess, and Lady Louisa Craven, General Sir.Wm.Lumley, K.C.B. and lady, Sirs Alexander Malet and Henry Martin, barts. Lord Viscount Grimstone, Capt.Dundas, M.P. and the Hon.Mrs.Dundas, John Walter, esq. M.P. and lady, Generals Piggott, Hodson, and Moore, William Bowles, esq. and the Hon.Mrs.Bowles, Mr.Serjeant Goulbourn, and the Hon.Mrs.Goulbourn, the Hon.Spencer Perceval Montagu, Frederick Villebois, Hogan Smith, and Richard Best, esqrs; the Revds Arthur Meyrick, John Sloper, George Thomas, James Best, J.D.Hodson, &c.&c.&c.

At a Petty Sessions held at Chippenham on Thursday last, Isaac Gale and Alfred Gale, sons of a respectable farmer at Bremhill, were convicted of an assault on Mr.John Bendry of the 3 Crowns Inn, Chippenham, and his servant man. The defendants were fined £5, or in default of payment to be committed to the House of Correction for two months each; and taking into consideration the numerous charges of assault made at different periods against the defendants, the Magistrates, to prevent the commission of such offences in future, bound them in £20 each to keep the peace for one year.

On Thursday evening a labourer, named Goodall, went into a friend's house, at Abbott's Ann, near Andover, to light his pipe, when the son of the latter took down a gun to shew him; Goodall desired his to put it up lest it should be loaded, but as Goodall was stooping down to light his pipe, the boy placed the muzzle of the gun near his ear, saying he would have a snap at him, and immediately pulled the trigger, when, shocking to relate, the whole charge entered his head and caused instant death. The unfortunate man has left a widow and a large family.

Fatal Fight

Two men named Brown and Basset, who worked on the Avon and Gloucestershire railway, having had a trifling dispute at the wharf, near Keynsham, after drinking some time together on Friday last, Brown became very quarrelsome and struck the other to induce him to fight, which at length he agreed to, and they fought some rounds, when Brown fell and could not rise, and on examination he was found to be dead. An investigation of the circumstances afterwards took place before W.Joyner Ellis, esq. and Basset was committed to Gloucester prison, on the charge of manslaughter.

Lamentable Accident at Radstock. - Five Lives Lost !

On Saturday morning, at about 8 o'clock, the boiler of a new steam engine recently erected at the Tyning Coal Works, (the property of Messrs. Blacker, Collins and Co.,) at Radstock, near Bath, exploded, and destroyed nearly the whole of the premises, parts of which together with detached portions of the machinery of the engine, were scattered to an almost incredible distance. Eight men, including the three engineers, were hurled in different directions. One man was killed on the spot, his head being blown off; and a second died whilst being conveyed to his place of residence; a third had his boots blown off and his legs broken; and four others were severely injured. In addition to the two we have mentioned as being dead, three others have since died, and two are not expected to recover.

Some idea may be formed of the violence of the explosion , when we state, that the boiler, weighing probably 3 tons, was thrown up to altitude of nearly 50 feet; striking against a chimney stack, the upper part of which it dislodged, and fell in an adjoining field, a distance of at least forty feet from its original situation. Other parts of the machinery, some of them of great weight, were driven nearly two hundred yards. At a short distance from the engine is a row of cottages occupied by some of the men who are employed at the Works. It is highly probable that, but for the check the boiler received in its progress by coming in contact with the chimney, it would have fallen upon those cottages - in which case, the loss of life would have been much greater.

At the time of the explosion, there were 24 men and boys in the pit, working at a depth of 120 fathoms. The "hudge" (a box in which the coal is raised) was suspended over the mouth of the pit and the rope being broken, it fell into the shaft. For a considerable time great anxiety prevailed respecting those below, as it was feared the hudge might have been intercepted in its fall at a point of the shaft higher than the levels upon which the men were working. Had this been the case, there is little doubt but the lives of the whole would have been sacrificed. Providentially , however, it descended a few feet lower than the level where the last group were working, and the whole were recovered from their perilous situation before nine o'clock the same evening.

We have taken some pains personally to ascertain the particulars of this lamentable affair, and we have every reason to believe that the occurrence was purely the result of accident, no blame attaching to any one.

The name of the person killed instantaneously was Isaac Moon. He was a resident of Clandown, and had been lent by his employers to Messrs.Blacker, for the purpose of superintending the erection of the engine. He was a very sober man, and much respected by all who knew him. We regret to add, that he has left a widow and nine children to lament his loss. The names of the others who have since died are Moses Norman, Isaac Evans, - Pike, and Benjamin Bath; all of whom, except Pike, were married men, having several children each.

Mr.Uphill, the coroner, held an inquest on Saturday on the bodies of the two men who died on that day; and on Monday on the three who died subsequently. The Verdict in each case was "Accidental Death." - Bath Gazette.
