THURSDAY's POST.

An Ambassador from our Court has been lately, sent out in a frigate to Canton, in China, being, the first ever sent thither. The object of his commission, if he is received, is to obtain, through the favour of the Chinese, a shorter passage from India over land; with other matters of a commercial nature.

The following fresh American news came by the way of France yesterday:
The question being put by the State of Massachusetts in Convention, " Whether the new convention should be accepted," it was decided in the affirmative 187 against 168.
The Assembly of Rhode Island, instead of calling a Convention to decide on the new constitution, referred it to the vote of the people. There assembled in their town meetings on the 24th of March, and rejected the constitution by about 2700 against 200.

On Saturday the 14th instant, the road leading from …. to Milton, the seat of Sir Edward Astley, in Norfolk, sunk above nine feet deep for full thirty yards in length.
A much larger sinking of the earth also took place in a ploughed field adjoining the road on the Sunday evening following, which is nearly circular, the circumference 210 feet, diameter sixty feet, depth twenty-seven feet, with an irregular slope, and looks like a large lime-kiln. No agitation of the air, shock of the earth, or the least subterraneous noise was perceivable before, at, or since this uncommon event.



SATURDAY's POST.
COUNTRY NEWS.
HULL, June, 18.

Stephenson, from St.Petersbourg, (being the first ship from that port this year) ; by her we have information that the Peggy, Hill, of Whitby was boarded by the Swedish fleet, between the islands of Oeland and Gothland, on the 13th ult. It consisted of sixteen sail of the line besides frigates, bound to Finland, to act in conjunction with the Prince of Sweden, who is gone with an army of 40,000 men, to recover that province from Russia.



LONDON, THURSDAY, July 3.

WEDNESDAY, July 2. - This day the report was received for the Committee on the Slave-Trade Regulation Bill; when the amendments were made in the Committee were adopted with few exceptions. After the amendments had been read and agreed to,
Lord Hawkesbury said, he had four additional clauses to propose, which, he trusted would meet with their Lordships approbation.
The first was - That no person should be employed as commander of a vessel in the Slave-Trade, who should not have been employed in that trade two years as first-mate, and three years as second mate.
The second - That no vessel should clear out for the Coast of Africa, that had not a regular-bred surgeon.
The third - That no insurance upon Slaves should be legal in future, except against fire, and dangers of the sea.
The fourth, his Lordship said, was - That a bounty of £100 to the Captain, and of £50 to the Surgeon, should be paid by the public for every 100 negroes embarked, of whom not more than two should die on upon their passage.
He observed, that this last Proposition being for a grant of public money, must be first made in the House of Commons.- His Lordship then moved the first three regulations, which were received by the House, and made part of the Bill.
It was then ordered that the Bill with its amendments be engrossed; and read a third time to-morrow.



His Majesty has appointed Tuesday next to go to the House of Peers to put an end to the present Session of Parliament.
The King's health, for some time past, having been in an indifferent state, a mineral water has been judged necessary for his Majesty to drink; and Sir George Baker has recommended the waters of Cheltenham. The three elder Princesses, it is said, will accompany him.

Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, the Purser of the Royal Admiral Indiaman, Captain Joseph Huddart, from Coast and China, came to the East-India House with the news of her safe arrival off the Isle of Wight the same morning.
Tuesday died at his house in Harley-street, the Right Hon. Lord Say and Sele. The death of this nobleman was the consequence of an act over which it is impossible that the veil of secrecy can be thrown, uncommon degree of inquietude seemed to incumber his spirits; he frequently burst into tears, but assigned no satisfactory motive for his uneasiness. On the morning of his dissolution, he submitted to have his hair dressed, but appeared very impatient during the operation: soon after the servant quitted his presence, he seized a sword, which about four years which was given him by the Due de Constans, and stabbing himself violently in three different parts of the body, almost immediately expired.
Tuesday morning an express came to the Public office, Bow-street, from Newcastle upon Tyne, informing Sir Samson Wright, that the noted Barrington was in custody in that town. He was apprehended in attempting to pick pockets; said he was a dentist, and born in North Wales. During his stay in that town, which has been but a short time, he has gone by two different names. He stands indicted for robbing E. Le Mesurier, Esq, some time since, at Drury-lane Theatre; and is also outlawed. Some officers belonging to Bow-street are dispatched to bring him to town.
Yesterday the Sessions ended at the Old-Bailey, when 11 convicts received judgment of death; and 53 were ordered to be transported.

WINCHESTER, JULY 5.

At our assizes, this week, two prisoners were capitally convicted, viz. Timothy Gaynty, for stealing out of the shop of William Crease, at Gosport, four pieces of calf-skin leather; and Thomas Lewis, for stealing a gelding, in the parish of Mitchelmersh, the property of John Wilton.
They were both afterwards reprieved.
Thomas Robinson, for stealing 121 dollars out of a packet at Spithead, was ordered to be transported for seven years.- Tho. Mundy, for breaking into the house of Thomas Harmsworth, of Baughurst, and stealing a pair of breeches, 11s. in silver, to be whipt and imprisoned six months.- William Gould, for stealing barley in the parish of Christchurch, the property of John Aldridge, to be whipt.
At the above assizes an action came on to be heard, brought by Mrs. Knapp, of this city, (late Miss Anderson) in behalf or herself and sister, against Miss Warton, of Chilland. The action was brought to recover the sum of £350. the amount of the stock in trade of the Miss Andersons, milliners, &c. which had been agreed to be purchased by Mrs.W. for her two daughters, who were milliners in this city.- The stock, it appeared, had been appraised by two persons, one on each side, and the valuation agreed to by both parties. On examining the goods a day or two after, Mrs. W. supposing some of the articles considerably over charged, refused to ratify the agreement, and offered ten guineas to decline; this the plaintiffs refused to accept, and the defendants having taken possession of the shop, the former brought the action to recover the amount; after a hearing of four hours, a verdict was, by the direction of the learned Judge, given for the plaintiff, for the whole sum, with costs.
A very interesting cause also came on to be tried, before Lord Chief Baron Eyre and a special Jury, brought by Doctor Farr, Physician to the Royal Hospital at Plymouth, in order to set aside a will obtained from his late uncle, Robert Dale, L.L.D. in a slate of insanity; when, after a trial of six hours, during the course of which the strongest evidence was given of the most permanent insanity, and after a most admirable charge by the Lord Chief Baron, the Jury instantly gave a verdict for the plaintiff, to the entire satisfaction of the whole Court. The property recovered by this verdict is inconsiderable; but it appeared, that it was absolutely necessary for Dr. Farr to get rid of this will, before he could combat a will, made by William Dale, Esq. another uncle of his, and, which, it was said, had been obtained by fraud and imposition, and by which he bequeathed forty thousand pounds to the attorney who made it.- We understand, however, that Doctor Farr means to exert every nerve to set aside that will also.


SALISBURY, JULY 7.

The King has been pleased to appoint George Meggs, Esq. Captain, from the half-pay of the 60th regiment, son of the late Harry Meggs, of Bradford Peverell, in the county of Dorset, Esq. to be Captain of a company, in the room of the Honourable Capt. Curzen, who exchanges.

Tuesday last was married at Caste-Eaton, in this county, the Rev. James Edwards, of Fairford, in the county of Gloucester, to Miss Sophia Kerby, second daughter of the Rev. Mr. Kerby, of Castle-Eaton aforesaid.

The same day was married, Mr. Thomas Banger, of Druce, to Miss Gilbert, of Dorchester.
Friday evening the 27th ult. died, greatly lamented, Mr. Thomas Hancock, grocer, in Marlborough, aged 67, a truly affectionate husband and parent, and a worthy pattern of punctuality and integrity.
Lately died at Trowbridge, sincerely lamented by all who knew her, Miss Ann Carwell, a young lady.

The Treasurer of the Salisbury Infirmary reported on Saturday to the Quarterly Court, that the executors of Mr. Richard Spaggs, late of this city, deceased, had paid him a legacy of twenty-five pounds, left by the will of the deceased to this charity.
We hear that Mr. MEXVILLE, from Edinburgh, is arrived in this city, and intends shortly to open an Exhibition upon a more liberal plan than was ever before adopted; assisted by the vocal Powers of Miss BLYTH, from York, - The great satisfaction that he gave several nights last week, at the Town Hall, Andover, to a polite and crowded audience, strongly recommends him to the patronage and favour of the Ladies and Gentlemen of Salisbury and its vicinity.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last, a grand Cricket Match, for 500 guineas a side, was played on Periam Down, near Ludgershall, between the Earl of Winchelsea, and Ashton Smith, Esq. which was won by the latter with ease. This was an exceedingly well played game, in which Mr. Smith particularly distinguished himself. The knowing ones were greatly taken in. The odds on the first and second days were much in favour of his Lordship, and Mr. Smith at his second innings had to go against 148 notches, which he beat with three hands to go in.
In the course of a few days the workmen will proceed to pull down that decayed structure Castle-gate - this has long been considered a nuisance, and its removal will greatly improve the scite of Castle-street.
The very extraordinary demand for the COUNTY MAGAZINE for JUNE, having occasioned a disappointment to many of our friends, we beg to inform them, that a new Edition, containing a particular account of George Lukins, the BRISTOL DEMONIAC, Mr. Vagg's very ingenious plan for securing a Crop of Turnips, and many other very interesting Articles, is now ready, and may be had at the Printing-office; of all the newsmen, and of the several persons whose names are at the foot of the last page of this paper.

A decayed inhabitant of Fisherton, (descended of an ancient and reputable family, formerly living in this city) now in the parish workhouse, lately sent a letter to a gentleman bearing office in our Corporation, charging himself with the commission of a murder near Market-Drayton, about 35 years ago, The letter is very circumstantial as to time, place, and all the horrid, &c. of the deed; that the writer saw a youth change a guinea, followed him on the road to a bye place, knocked him down, robbed him of his money, then cut his throat, and threw the body into the briars of an adjoining hedge.- He adds, that from this hour, his soul has known no peace ! In the blaze of day, and the darkest hour of midnight, the unhappy victim of his avarice is before his mental eye; and now prays, that as our assizes are at hand, and the month approaches (August) when the foul deed was done, he may meet the blow of justice, and thereby expiate his crime.
"The spirit of a man may sustain his infirmity; but a wounded conscience who can bear ?"
Proper enquiry is making in the country as to the probable truth of this murder, and our readers shall know the result. The poor man still persists in his confession, and we are fearful it is rather the working of conscious guilt than a distempered brain.

At the general gaol delivery for the city of Bristol, which began on Wednesday se'nnight, before Richard Burke, Esq, Recorder, Robert Quarman, for burglary, and James Seney, for privately stealing, received sentence of death: They were afterwards reprieved.

Saturday evening Sir James Eyre, Knt. and the Hon. Francis Buller, Esq. arrived here, and opened their commission for holding the assizes:-The following prisoners are to take their trials, viz.
Cornelius Broad and John Jones, for burglariously breaking into the house of Abel Pitman, in the parish of Bradford, and stealing a cask of strong beer; John Harris and Thomas Castleman, for stealing two horses out of the stable of Robert Budden, of St.Giles's in Dorset; William Winstone, for stealing a black mare, the property of John Wilkins, of Cirencester; John Benn, for stealing five hats out of the shop of William Wheeler, of New Sarum; Mary Martin, for tendering three pieces of silver plate for sale to William Bennet, in New Sarum, supposed to have been stolen; Wm.

The SUMMUM BONUM.
A favourite Drinking Song, now singing at Vauxhall, with
universal applause, by Mr. INCLEDON.
Composed by Mr. HOOK.
I. GIVE me wine, rosy wine, that foe to despair,
Whose magical power can banish all care;
Or friendship the parent, composer of strife,
The soother of sorrow, and blessing of life.
The schools about happiness warmly dispute,
And weary their sense in the phantom's pursuit:
In spite of their maxims, I dare to define,
The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine.

II. To the coward a warmth it ne'er fails to impart,
And opens the lock of the miserly heart;
While thus we carouse it, the wheels of the soul,
O'er life's rugged highway agreeably roll;
Each thinks of his charmer, who never can cloy,
And fancy rides post to the regions of joy.
In spite of dull maxims, I dare to define,
The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine.

III.
Tis the balsam specific that heals ev'ry fore,
The oftner we taste it we love it the more;
Then he who true happiness seeks to attain,
With spirit the full-flowing bumper must drain:
And he who the court of fair Venus wou'd know,
Undaunted thro' Bacchus's Vineyard must go.
Inspite of dull maxims, I dare to define,
The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine.



ANECDOTE.

AN Irish gentleman, in the warmth of national veneration, was praising Ireland for the cheapness of provisions; a salmon might be bought for sixpence, and a dozen mackerel for twopence -- " and pray, Sir, how came you to leave so cheap a country" - ' Arrah ! honey, but where were the sixpences and twopences to be got ?"

ON Wednesday morning the 4th of June, the inhabitants of BERE REGIS, in the county of Dorset, were suddenly alarmed by fire; which encreased with such fury, and proceeded with such rapidity, that almost the WHOLE TOWN was consumed before any effectual assistance could be procured. The ruin is GENERAL. The distress beyond description. And though the benevolent contributions of the neighbouring towns have been liberal, and sufficient to support the unhappy sufferers in their PRESENT DISTRESS, yet they can alone look forward with hopes of effectual and permanent relief, as they are encouraged by that spirit of UNIVERSAL CHARITY, which, to the honour of this nation, by those in actual distress, hath never been solicited in vain. To this they betake themselves in this hour of affliction and destruction, and midst the ruins of conflagration, look up with hope for the exertions of this god-like principle, by those who are blessed with the ability: Their assistance and support they earnestly supplicate, and humbly implore.
Contributions will be received by Mess. Dawes and Devaynes, bankers, Pall-mall, and Mess. Langstons, Towgoods, and Amory, bankers, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, London; also by Messrs.
