Saturday, November 20.

The prices were as follows : Best red Somerset, 80s to 86s; North Wilts, 65s to 72s; good half Coward, 60s to 63s. Farnham hops fetched nearly the same prices as at the late Weyhill Fair.

Mrs.Mary Dunscombe, widow of the late
Rev.Thomas Dunscombe, and eldest daughter of the late
William Steele[?], Esq. of that place. The worth of this excellent woman consisted not merely of her intellectual attainments, in the ardour and constancy of her friendships, in her general benevolence and her compassionate attentions to the poor, but in her near approach to the perfection of the christian character, in the humility and purity of her heart. She endured a painful illness with that patience and resignation which dignified her life, and she peacefully expired, confident (to use her own emphatic words) that her "torture would be changed to ease - her faith to sight - and in her hope to be absorbed in full felicity."
On Monday evening last died, at his Lordship's house in Lincoln's Inn Field's, of apoplexy, the

Our season at the Theatre is drawing to a close,
Mrs.Kelly had her benefit on Monday last, and
Mr.S.Collins on Wednesday : the house was very respectably attended both evening.
Miss Norton takes her benefit this evening, and it is hoped that the public will not fail to encourage her; indeed she is justly intitled to their patronage from the able manner in which she has invariably supported the most arduous characters.

Law.- Court of King's Bench, Nov.17.- The Attorney General moved for a Rule, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be granted against a person of the name of
Burridge, residing at Portsmouth, for having posted
Mr.John Scott, a gentleman, residing at Southampton, with intent to provoke him to fight a duel. The defendant, it appeared, had posted
Mr.Scott, in one of the most public places in Southampton, and the words of the document were as follow :-
"Southampton, Aug. 8. - Notice, -
John Scott, here above bar, is a vagabond, a traitor, a coward, and a wretch ! Who ought not to go unpunished at the day of retribution ! Let us see what he is made of, who has borne the King's commission. For particulars, apply to
Mr.Burridge, at the George Inn. - God save the King ! Amen !"
This paper was taken down by a friend of
Mr.Scott, and presented to him. A gentleman afterwards waited on
Mr.Burridge, and remonstrated with him on the impropriety of his conduct. The defendant, however, expressed his determination to post
Mr.Scott again and again until he compelled him to behave like a gentleman.
Lord Ellenborough - "What situation in life do the parties fill ?" The Attorney General - "The prosecutor has been in the army - the defendant is stated, in the affidavit on which I move, to be a gentleman."
Lord Ellenborough - "I would like to see the person who would swear that the defendant is a gentleman." The Attorney General - "The affidavit of the prosecutor so designates him; and also sets forth that he is a relation of his. Some family disputes had taken place between them, in which the present outrage originated."
Mr.Justice Le Blanc - "Can such nonsense as this be the production of a gentleman ?" The Attorney-General - "Your Lordships see the defendant threatens to repeat the offence, in order to provoke the prosecutor to fight a duel."
Lord Ellenborough - "No gentleman would permit such stuff to provoke him to fight a duel. This is not a case in which the Court will grant a Criminal Information. If the prosecutor pleases he may proceed by indictment." Rule refused.

Monday, November 22, 1813.
On Wednesday last
William Andrews, Esq. was sworn in Mayor of this city, on which occasion he gave a sumptuous dinner at the Council Chamber, to which all the Members of the Corporation, the Dignitaries of the Church, and the Nobility and principal Gentry in the City and neighbourhood were invited. The dinner which consisted of all the delicacies of the season, was served up in excellent style by
Gibbons, of the Spread Eagle Inn. Among the company were
Lord Viscount Folkestone,
Mr.P.Methuen,
Mr.Jervoise,
Mr.Canon Hume,
Mr.Campbell,
Mr.Jas Burrough (our Deputy Recorder),
Mr.Biggs,
Mr.Powell, the
Reverends Messrs.Morres,
Marsh,
Macdonald,
Fisher, &c. The usual toasts having been drunk, the Mayor proposed to the company to drink a bumper glass to the healths of our brave Wellington and the Allied Army in France. The toast was received with the most rapturous enthusiasm : each guest charged his glass to the brim, and in a moment the spacious hall resounded with the loud huzzas of Englishmen, full of love for their country, and of genuine loyalty. The Mayor next proposed the healths of the Allied Sovereigns in Germany : this toast was received with similar enthusiasm. - Since the commencement of the war with France, no Mayor can boast of a more happy company. Every face was merry, from the recollection of the past and the anticipation of the future good fortune of our country. Would that we could add to the account of a feast the history of a battle and victory over Europe's Arch-Enemy; but owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, there have been no arrivals from Gottenburgh, since our last, of a later date than the 4th instant; from these we derive no certain information. Our next Journal, we hope, will contain abundance of military intelligence for our numerous readers.

The Frome and East-Mendip Yeomanry, commanded by
Col.Horner and
Major Wickham, concluded their permanent duty for this year on Saturday se'nnight, at Frome. The soldier like manner in which they performed their duty, their steadiness and attention to their officers, their peaceable conduct and cleanly appearance, reflect on them the highest credit.

Lord Sidmouth's circular.
