KENT.

The Elizabeth, Phillips, from London to Plymouth, took fire in Ramsgate harbour, (January 21st,) and was burnt to the water's edge. The cargo, valued at 14 or 15,0001. consisted chiefly of grocery, oil, and tallow. On the lower tier were stowed about ten pipes of wine, which being under water, were not materially damaged. The consternation on board the shipping there was very great: had there been much wind, or the accident taken place at low water, the effects might have been dreadful.

SURRY.

The following singular phenomenon has been observed at Woking, in this county. In the church yard, as long as any thing is left of a corpse interred there, besides the bones, a kind of plant grows up from it, about the thickness of a bulrush, with a top like the head of asparagus, which comes near the surface, but never above it; the outside black, but the inside red; and when the corpse is quite consumed, the plant withers away.

SUSSEX.

A few months since, a great part of Ashdown Forest, in this county, was inclosed by a set of men called Forresters, and also by the Rev. R. Bingham, the curate of the parish of Mayersfield; but the forest being deemed to be the right of the Duchess of Dorset, the inclosures were thrown down by order of her grace, Lord Whitworth, and Lord Sheffield (the acting magistrate for that county). This act irritated those who had made inclosures, and some of them were heard to make use of threatening language. On Sunday, December 16, a letter was found on the road near Mayersfield, by the sons of Mr. R. Jenner, a respectable farmer, directed to their father; the boys took it home, but their father being absent, they gave the letter to their mother, who on opening it, discovered that it was headed, in large letters, "Fire! Murder! and Revenge!!" and the contents were threatening destruction to the parson, churchwardens, farmers' houses, barns, and stacks. The boys told their mother, that after Mr. Bingham performed the morning service at Mayersfield church, he got on horseback, to ride to a neighbouring parish to do duty there in the afternoon; he passed them, and when he was a short distance from them, they saw a paper drop from his pocket, which they were positive was the letter they picked up, and they suspected it to be his hand-writing, although it was evidently very much disguised; for these suggestions, however, the boys were reproved, Mr. Bingham being considered a highly respectable character, and a very intimate friend of Mr. Jenner's. The circumstance caused considerable alarm in that part of the country. Lords Whitworth and Sheffield published an advertisement, offering a reward of 2001. for the discovery of the writer of the letter; and a number of persons were employed to watch Mr. Jenner's premises, and to patrole in different parts. On the 16th of January last, Mr. Bingham's house was discovered to be on fire, and great part of the premises was destroyed, as has already been stated. The account given by Mr. Bingham of the fire, being very extraordinary and unsatisfactory, Lord Sheffield sent to the Public Office, Rowstreet, for an active and intelligent officer, and Mr. Read sent Adkins. Upon the officer's arrival, after making inquiries, he strongly suspected that Mr. Bingham had set his own house on fire, and in consequence placed several men to watch. One of them discovered Mr. Bingham bringing a great quantity of books from his stable, and burying them in his garden. From a variety of other suspicious circumstances, a warrant was granted against Mr. B. and one to search his

premises, when Adkins ound, in the roof of the privy, a variety of valuable papers con cealed. In consequence of those and other suspicious circumstances, he was charged with having set his premises on fire, for the purpose of defrauding the Union Fire Office ; and, having been taken into custody, he underwent a final examination at Lewes, before Lords Chichester and Sheffield, and was fully committed for trial.-Such is the account given of this affair in all the public prints, but it appears that at the late Horsham assizes, the Rev. Mr. Bingham was honourably acquitted on the charges which had been fabricated against him. The means taken to influence the public against him by the most scandalous falsehoods, and the treatment he met with in prison, render this one of the most diabolical conspiracies on record, and the public calls aloud for exemplary legal vengeance against all the parties concerned in it. At least, the punishment which they had designed for this respectable clergyman, ought to fall on them.

The buildings of the upper crescents at Clifdaughton, are nearly compleated, and the terrace of the largest will not be rivalled by any street in England: Besides the two upper crescents, there are great buildings going on upon the downs and the lower crescent, (Mr. Brooker's) will undoubtedly soon follow. Thus, Clifton will assume the appearance of a new city; and doubtless will soon, from the munificence of the merchants, be accommodated with a market, new church, &c.
