Last week Mr Samuel STONE, woollen-draper, was chosen a Common-council-man for the Great Ward of Wymer, in the room of Thomas DAY, Esq., elected Sheriff.
Last week, Mr Robert BEEVOR, second son of Mr James BEEVOR, of Magdalen-street, in this city, was admitted into the Upper Academy of Cadets at Woolwich. -- It is but justice to observe, that this young gentleman was educated by Mr RIVETT, at East Dereham, who, to a happy facility of instructing, adds the strictest attention to the health and morals of his Academians. Here the genius of youth is studied, and the several branches of useful knowledge, suited to their tastes and talents, are taught in a plain regular manner; the dull dogma of schools, where youth of every disposition are tutored in the same Routine of book-learning, is avoided, and the sciences inculcated with a view to professional accomplishment. We are always ready to applaud merit, but never more so than in whatever relates to the education of youth, an object not so frequently nor properly considered as its vast importance requires.
At the sessions last week, Rachel ASHLEY, found guilty of stealing several small things, the property of Thomas HUBBARD, was ordered to be privately whipped and discharged; and William BRIGHTMER, for stealing some wearing-apparel from Anthony TILLS, was ordered to be confined three months in the house of correction, and kept to hard labour.
Late of Tuesday night last or early on Wednesday morning, some unknown villains found means to get up to the room where the linen is dried at the Old Men's Hospital, in Bishopgate-street, and by means of a hook, fastened to the end of a pole, stole thereout one sheet, four shirts, and a white apron, when the hook falling off, they were obliged to decamp without further booty.
On Saturday Thomas DENNY, alias Thomas SMART, was committed to the city gaol, charged with stealing a livery clothcoat from out of a chariot in the King's-head-inn-yard. -- The same day Mary SMITH was committed to the same gaol on suspicion of privately stealing from the person of William BEEZER, of Great Yarmouth, one guinea and a half in gold, and three shillings in silver.
Thursday last was married, Mr Edward COLMAN, surgeon, of this city, to Miss TAYLER, of Swardeston.
Sunday last was married Mr LAKE, pin-maker, in the London-lane, to Mrs PAYNE, of this city.
Yesterday was married at Redenhall, the Rev. Mr LLOYD, Vicar of Happisburgh, to Miss Susannah WALNE, daughter of Mr WALNE, of Harleston.
On Sunday the 6th inst. was married at St Botolph's, Bishopgate, London, Edward CHRISTIAN, of this city, Gent. to Miss Elizabeth Sarah DUNDAS, daughter of Mr DUNDAS, surgeon, at Chertsey, in Surry [sic].
Last week died at Wortwell, much regretted by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, Mrs HARVEY, aged 31, wife of Robert HARVEY, miller, of that place.
