COUNTRY NEWS.
OXFORD,
Oct.26. On Wednesday the
Prince and Princess of Mecklenburgh Schwerin, with their suite, arrived at the Cross-Inn, in this city: And on Thursday, after having seen the colleges and public buildings in this University, the Prince and Princess set out for Blenheim, in their way to Bath.
About half past ten o'clock, on Friday night the 18th, four men entered the house of Mr.Williams, on the other side Bagley wood, in the road from this city to Abingdon, and having lighted each of them a candle, went up to the room where the man and his wife sleep, who have the care of the farm; by which time the man being alarmed, by hearing people in the house, had jumped out of bed naked, and called loudly for fire-arms, as if divers persons had inhabited the place; upon which three of the ruffians displayed each of them a pistol, and the fourth a cutlass, threatening destruction if they made the least noise or resistance. They then forced him into another bed-room, ordering both his wife and himself to cover their heads with the bed-clothes, and demanded to know where they kept their money ? - The poor people replied, that they were but servants, upon which they enquired when their master would return home, and said they should be glad to see him. After this they proceeded to ransack the premises, packing up the linen, wearing apparel, silver spoons, and whatever was portable, together with about £6. in money. They then had the audacity to stay in the house regaling themselves with brandy and other liquors, which they found below stairs, till near two o'clock on Saturday morning.
NORWICH,
Oct.26. Tuesday evening a most cruel murder was committed on the body of
Mrs.Philips, of Erismell, near Mildenhall, in Suffolk. The circumstances attending this melancholy affair appear to be as follows:
Mrs.Philips was a person of considerable property, farmed a large estate of her own, and being of a parsimonious disposition, it was generally understood that she kept a deal of ready cash by her, which was, without doubt, known to the perpetrators of this horrid act, as they planned a scheme of calling her up in the night, by informing her that a dog was worrying some of her sheep. This had its eftect: She immediately rose, and followed the persons to the suppofed place, where (from the marks of violence upon her head, and her throat appearing very black) it is supposed that they first knocked her down, and afterwards strangled her. They then returned to the house, and plundered it of all the cash, and every thing of· value besides, there being no male servant to prevent them.
Died. At Lymington,
Francis Charlton, Esq. formerly in the service of the Hon.East India Company, and Member of their Council in Bengal. - At Worlington, in Suffolk,
Mr.John Wilson, aged 116. It is very remarkable that this man's suppers, for these forty years past, have been on roasted turnips, which it is thought contributed to his long life.

Portsmouth, Nov.1.
Wednesday night a fire happened on the Hard on Portsmouth Common, which entirely consumed five houses, tenanted by
Mr.Ingram, mercer;
Mr.Harward, mercer.;
Mr. Adams, baker;
Mr.Ham, and
Mr.Gauntlet, publicans. The former of these, with a maid servant, was yesterday morning taken into custody, on a strong suspicion that he purposely set his own house on fire, for the sake of receiving a large sum of money insured by him on his stock in trade. He has since been examined before
Sir John Carter, Mayor of this borough, who has thought proper to commit him to gaol, for a further examination. - Four men, who were assisting to put a stop to the fire, unfortunately were killed.

SALISBURY, NOVEMBER 4.
From our correspondent in London, on whose veracity we can depend, we have as follows, dated Saturday night :" I have this day called upon
Mr. Pulteney, who is alluded to as bringing over the intelligence of
Lord Howe's engagement with the combined fleet. The real fact stands thus :-
That
Mr.Pulteney left Paris on the 25th ult. and arrived at Calais on the 28th, where he met an English gentleman, who informed him, that he had seen a paragraph in a very long letter from Paris, of the 26th, to the Mayor of Calais, to this purport - That there had been a very bloody engagement between the combined fleets of France and Spain, and the English under the command of
Lord Howe, in which it was said, that the English fought like devils, had lost six ships in the action, but had obtained a complete victory. No mention made of the loss of the combined fleet."
Monday evening
Sir Alexander Powell gave a polite ball and elegant entertainment, at his house in Castle-street, to the ladies and gentlemen of this City and Close.
We are happy to inform our readers, that our musical dissensions are at length finally adjusted between the two performers,
Mr.Corfe and
Mr.Parry, by the introduction of the latter into our Subscription Concert, on such terms, which, it is hoped, will prove neither dishonourable or disadvanrageous on either side.
Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin arrived at Bath on Friday se'nnight; and after viewing the Baths, public rooms, &c. they set out for London on Monday.

Monday evening
Farmer Cox, of Keevil, on his return home from Devizes-Green fair, was attacked, about a mile and a half from his own house, by a single highwayman, who robbed him of upwards of thirty-three guineas in bills and cash, which he had that day received for cheese, and rode off.
Tuesday night
Mr.Way, attorney at law, of Sherborne, another gentleman, and two young ladies, were attacked in the coach coming from London by two highwaymen, who robbed them of a few guineas, and some silver. They behaved in a most audacious manner, thrusting their pistols through the coach windows, and swearing the most horrid oaths. The gentlemen had the prefence of mind to save their watches, and most of their money. The Ladies were in the utmost distress, and one in fits, which the villains paid not the least regard to.
Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock. a dragoon quartered in Blandford attempted to rob
Russel's road waggon in that town: in searching the waggon, he tumbled on the porter, who slept in it; and thinking himself likely to be detected, he seized the porter by the throat, who thereupon crying out murder ! several persons soon came to his assistance and secured the dragoon. He was the next day carried before one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace.
Last Wednesday
Ellis Noyes, a poor labouring man at Downton, returning late from his work, by some accident fell into the river, and was drowned.
In a fish-pond at Marlborough a large pike was lately caught, and, upon opening it, a smaller one was found, containing two rats.
We are happy in being able to assure the public, that all intentions of weighing the Royal George are not yet laid aside. A gentleman who had formed a plan for this purpose, had the honour of laying it before the Admiralty, on which occasion he was told, with much politeness, that they had no other objection to entering with him into an examination of it, but that they had another plan of the same kind then under consideration.
SALISBURY, Nov. 2, 1782.
For Complaints in the Teeth and Gums.
Mr.BARNETT, Dentist or Operator for the Teeth and Gums, from Berlin, who has practised with great success in the cities of Bristol and Exeter for some years past, begs leave to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry, and all others who may stand in need of his assistance, that he is lately arrived in this city, where he has had the honour of being sent for by several respectable families for complaints of the teeth, and has had the pleasure of giving entire satisfaction, which he hopes will be a sufficient recommendation to others to entrust themselves to his care, as he has the vanity to think that from many years experience and practice, he is superior to most in curing all pains and disorders of the teeth, either by extracting, cleaning, transplanting, or putting in new teeth, and fastening those which are loose: All these he undertakes to perform in the most easy and expeditious manner, as perfectly as the complaints will possibly admit of. As there is a great variety of causes of pain and disorders in the teeth and gums, so there are various methods by which ease may be obtained, and a cure effected; but these, like all other disorders in the human frame, require the knowledge of skilful practitioners for their remedy.
Mr.BARNETT may be spoke with at his Lodgings, at
Mr.Chamberlayne's, watchmaker, in the Market-place, at any time during his stay, which wiIl be but short.
