Whilst about fifty of the gentlemen cadets were on their way to that town, the Independent coach from Southampton passed; three of the young gentlemen attempted to get up behind, which the passengers resisted, as there was no room; and the coachman, unfortunately, in the heat of the moment, struck at them with his whip. This, in the state of excitement to which the gentlemen cadets had been roused by the repeated threats of the Bagshot people, was sufficient to produce a row.

But without attempting to justify their attack upon the coach or the inhabitants of Bagshot, or even to extenuate it in either case by the provocation which they had received, it may fairly be said that if the whole matter had occurred at one of the great public schools of the country, it would have been treated but as a mere boyish row, and that it is only the fact of these youths of no greater age having red coats on their backs which has enabled ill-disposed persons to aggravate their thoughtless folly into a serious offence. “CHARLES PAGET,

MR. ATTWOOD'S LETTER.
(To the Editor of the Newcastle Press.)
(Concluded from page 314.)

TO CORRESPONDENTS. A VERY hardly-treated Officer of the Navy writes to me; and if his letter were read by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, my opinion (founded on my experience of Sir James's prompt attention to such cases) is, that he would obtain redress; for though the Right Honourable Baronet did, in the affair of the frapdulently obtained commissions, treat ME I should, now, sir, have returned to rather à la quarter-deck, I have found the people out of doors, conceiving that him ready to attend willingly and I had, at any rate, fulfilled my mission, promptly and efficiently to the hard and there was little chance of making case of a seaman, which I thought it better progress as well as, perhaps, but my duty to lay before him. ME, he little motive. Besides, I must confess, paid me the compliment not to regard as that where I can avoid it, I have but an object of compassion; but, this is little taste to waste my time in hunting no reason for supposing that he is quicksilver. Many of the promoters of wanting in that feeling towards those the address, however, at that time on the who are quite unable to give him any stairs and landing, in ignorance, perannoyance; nay, I do him no more haps, of the efforts I had already made than justice in declaring my belief, that, within the smaller room, pressed me, by if he were once but to see even ME on their exclamations, to follow him into the" compassionate list," I should ex- the other.

Then, it is not just towards the Admiralty for me to name his case; for, if he do not make his sufferings known there, how can the Admiralty relieve him? I can, therefore, do nothing for him.

point of fact, I was either half or altogether pushed or carried in. Some two or three, I think, of my party, either followed or were forced in with me; and the door was, therefore immediately closed inside, leaving Mr. Doubleday, and other friends, outside, on guard, like tilers.

My own thoughts rather wander to less sacred letters and profane analogies; to such passages as that of Horace, which I have taken for my motto, and to which I have annexed a doggerel translation; not for the benefit of learned Whigs, but of unlatin'd and more useful men. And as I began with one passage of poetry, I will conclude with another perhaps as beautiful and as applicable,

Old Wheat continued dull at the previous currency, and in bonded corn nothing doing.

Barley was in fair supply, and proved difficult to dispose of. Best parcels of Malting quality were Is. per qr. cheaper, and secondary descriptions might have been purchased at still less money. Distilling sorts were also lower; but grinding sustained lit le alteration. Malt is dull sale, but prices unvaried.

SMITHFIELD, November 4.

This day's supply of Beasts was rather

Full four-fifths of the Beasts appeared to consist of about equal numbers of short-horns, Herefords, Devons, and Welsh runts; the former and latter being, if any difference, most numerous; the remaining fifth of about equal numbers of Scots and Irish Beasts, with about fifty Town's-end Cows, as many Sussex Beasts, a few Staffords, &c. About 2,200 of the short-horns, Devons, Herefords, runts, Irish Beasts, and a few of the Scots, from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and others of our northern grazing districts; about 200 of do. from our midland and western districts; about 150, mostly Scots, from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire; about 100 from Kent, Sussex, and Surrey; and most of the remainder, including the Town's-end Cows, from the London marshes.

At least three-fifths of the Sheep were new Leicesters, of the South Down and whitefaced crosses, in the proportion of about two of the former to five of the latter; about onefifth South Downs, and the remaining fifth about equal numbers of old Leicesters, Kents, and Kentish half-breds, with a few old Lincolns, horned and polled Norfolks, horned Dorsets and Somersets, horned and polled Scotch and Welsh Sheep, &c.

Bumerous, but in great part of middling and such a thing having been frequently suginferior quality; the supply of Sheep mode-gested to me by Teachers as necessary.
