NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

On Friday the 14th of July were executed at Northampton, Huffham, otherwise Huffy White, and R. Kendall, for robbing the Leeds mail-coach in October last. Kendall appeared to be deeply impressed with the awfulness of his situation; and he uniformly persisted, however, in asserting his innocence of being at all concerned in the mail robbery; and at the place of execution solemnly declared that he should be a murdered man, in respect to the crime for which he was about to suffer. White affected to have no fear of death; and his hardihood never appeared to forsake him. In his general deportment, and particularly during the procession to, and at the place of execution, he discovered the utmost contempt for every thing serious and sacred; and more than once expressed his disapprobation at the delay occasioned by the chaplain. He positively attested the innocence of Kendall; and, after sentence of death was passed upon him, he thus addressed the Judge "My Lord, I hope you will have mercy upon Kendall, for he was not the man who robbed the mail."

KENT.

On Saturday afternoon, (July 24th,) a small part of the Isle of Thanet was visited by a storin. Though the lightning was not particularly vivid, nor the thunder very loud, its consequences were fatal. Two poor lads, Wm. Danton, aged 17, and George Letchford, aged 13, were attending five asses, at Chapel hill, the company who rode them having retired into Mr. Sawkins's house for shelter, and left the lads near the gate, by the side of a wall, where, as they and the asses were standing is a group, a flash of lightning in a moment de

prived Dauton and three of the animals of life; the other lad was struck on the arm, and his clothes set on fire, and he was pros trated insensibly on the ground, so much burnt, that there are but faint hopes of his recovery.

HAMPSHIRE.

G. H. Rose, esq. of Mudeford, has introduced the Hainault scythe into his neighbour hood, by providing a mower from Hainault, from whom the labourers learn its use with the utmost facility and dispatch. It is adapted to corn of all sorts, beans, tares, and peas, and is from 16 to 23 inches long in the handle, varying in length with the height of the mower, who has the advantage of using it without stooping. The blade is about two feet long, and two inches and three-quarters wide at the centre. It is used with a crook upon a staff nearly five feet long, carried by the middie in the left hand, for the purpose of mowing the corn in the direction required. The advantages of this scythe are, that the straw is all saved, being cut close to the ground, and it is particularly advantageous in lodged-corn, since cutting externally near the root, no weight comes upon the arms of the mower, which constitutes the great labour and disadvantage of reaping laid corn. By means of the crook, all the corn, so usually scattered, is laid neatly together, and the grips are so large, that the work of the binder is forwarded as much as that of the mower.

At the late Assizes, Edward M'Guire, Andrew Dillon, Joseph Gilchrist, and Daniel O'Brien, charged with the wilful murder of Lieut. Blundell, in a duel, in the Isle of Wight, were all cast for death, but have since been respited. It were well if examples were made of those following the wicked, wanton, and murderous practice of duelling. Blundell was proved to have said there was malice in the business;--some blood-thirsty Irish officers threatened to discard Blundell if he did not fight BI'Guije!
