CHARGE OF MORDER.—William Burton, charged with the murder of W. Syrtis, late of Wollaston, near Chepstow, has been committed to jail. About three weeks ago the deceased, an industrious young man, and who, through fiugality, had realized considerable sum for a person in his station, went from Wollaston to Bristol to inuchase a small vessel ai a trader. Ile was accompanied, as they *went by sestet, by the prisoner Burton. a young man of idle Itabiis, who had been principally at sea, and NOR!, ri-as acquainted with the object of Syms. Nothing wars heard of Syms till shout a fortnight afterward:, when Buiton returned alone. At die time of the de pirtnii of the latter, it was known that he had no money; Indeed, he was obliged to borrow some to carry him to Btistol ; but on his return he changed seiktal E 5 notes of the Chepstow Bank, and paid some debts. inquiries were made of him ie.pecting his companion ; but the answers he gave ...ere so v a . rious and inconsistent, that suspicions were excited against him, and he was taken into custody. He underwent Several examinations before the Right Hon. C. Brittitrust, in which it was proved, that he and Syms hid been seen together at Bristol; and that, on the night preceding the former's re-appear ance at Wollaston, they had slept together at Pill, when they seated their intention of returning to Wol laston with their boat early next morning. A-woman who wanted a passage requested to accompany them. which wits iefused by the prisoner, though Syms was willing 'to take her. The prisoner and Syms left Pill together; and, to account for the cash he had been ss:uandering, Burton said, that -it was lent to hint at Bristol, by a man who had gone for the West Indies, but who, it has been ascertained, sailed for that place some months ago, and ins not possessed of money for his purposes. When asked where he lb* rtv Syms? he stated three different places. The body of The un i rorrunate young man (Wm. Syms) has been picked up and clearly identified. • It was discovered floating in the River Severn. An Inquest was summoned, which sat some hours on Saturday, and was adjourned, to give time for the attendance Of other witnesses. The nose has been entirely cut off, the head is shockingly disfigured, and the skull fractured in several places. No property was found about the body. TOE ARMY. A question of great importance and nicety has ari sen on the subject of the juris4ction of Military Law over the persons *he are engagedln the Recruiting Es tablishment of the East butte Cofhpany. A Garrison Court-Weartial assembled Fat Chatham on Monday, for the trial of W. King, who had acted as Setje_ant rMajor of the Recruiting Establishment of the East- India Company, but who had never eqlisted, and who held no situation in his Majesty's Forces, and had engaged, to serve on the Recruiting Establish thent of the Company in Greet Britain and Ireland only' It seems that the Company derive their only power to raise men for their service by several-Acts of Parliament, and that such power is restricted to the 'raising of men to serve in India only.-- - -Mr. F. WI'LLTASIS attended the Court as CiktiSel for W. King, and tendered objections to its juriSdittion; and the Court in' consequence adjourned, that the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown should be taken on this im portant point.—This question is of great iniportance in a constrtational view, and will, we thrift receive the consideration due to it. The Earl of &taunt( and Family have slyly& at Liverpool, in the Courier, from New York. A letter from Quebec, dated the 3d uk. says : « Uric tteri Governor, the Dtike„of Richmond, is ex tremely courteous in his manners, and it is impos sible for any person to be more affable and agreeable than Lady Mary Lenox. His Grace's dinner service of gold and silver is sumptuous in the extreme, and .excites very great wonder and admiration amorg the! Canadians, Who have never seen any thing to Cori pare to it before. The Duke Lady Mary, and suite , ! returned from their tour to tie Upper Province, WO :or three days ago. The season for horse racing being: ,novr over, Lord W. Lenox has turned his thoughts to establishing Amateur Plays during the sinter, which are to continence the latter eml of this month. The last races concluded with a very pleasant ball, which was numerously attendeJ. I think it is likely the winter will pass agreeably." An American Paper gives the following anec dote :—A Gentleman of the Bar in a neighbouring county, in easy circumstances, and pretty good prac tice, has rendered hiMself somewhat remarkable by attempts in the way of matrimonial speculation. A maiden, rather advanced in ycars, residing some niiles distant in the neighbourhood, -hearing of the Lawyer's speculating propensity, that his • charactet was unexceptionable, and his life tolerably good, re solved upon making him her husband. She hit upon the f o llo wirg extdieat :—She pretended suddeuly to be taken very iii, and sent - for the man of the law to draw her will. He attended for that purpose. By her will she devised k. 10,000 fit the bank stock, to be' divided among her three cousins, some thousands in bonds and notes to a niece—and vast landed estates to a favourite nephew. The will being finished, she gave the Lawyer a very liberal fee, and enjoined se crecy of him for sbn:-• praen:led purpose—thus pre eluding him from an inquiry into her real circum stances. Need I mention ? In a fortnight, the Lady thought proper to he again restored to health The Lawyer callzd to cnngratulate her on her restoration, and begged rcrmlssion to visit her, which was politely given. Aster a short cca!t4:ip, the desired offer was made. The btri;ain was con cluued, and ratified by the Priest. Ile Law. er's whole estate by his wife consists of an annuity Of 65 data:4 !

The cry of Stop the rob-, ber !' was set up. Captain Baldwin, late of the 9th Dragoons, came up, galloped after and soon, overtook him. The robber then turned round ; and presenting' a pistol, desired the Captain to keep off. The Cap tain made a sudden dart, when the villain fired, but missed ; he, however, was unllnrsed by the Captain's charge. Captain Baldwin, although having no wea- - pon, then dismounted to seize the tellow, bet he suc ceeded in getting over a ditch, and was quickly fol lowed by his pursuer. The Captain soon brought the' fellow to the ground, who got up, and in has turn brought down the Captain. The villain is* at-: tempted to reload his pistol, whek the Captain seized, his arm. By this time the country people came up,l seized the fellow, and bronght him 'to This towit..-- He says he had been 26 years in the 80th Vegiftnefit, and had served under - the Dtike of Welling[ t, that he had received six wounds, 4ind is= lately be= discharged without a pension.

The Magi strate enquired whether regular notice had been given to the Captain, and expressed his fear that no redress could be obtained through his medium, as he had no power to bring him from the King's Bench to answer any complaint. The Clerk said, that the nature of the application, as he understood, was, that the Magistrate, after proper notice had been given, to the Captain, could issue an order to the Officer of the Custom House to grant a fresh register. One oft the complainants produced the copy of a notice given to the Captain, but the Magistrate said it was not sufficient, and asked whether the Captain owned any part of t 1... ship ? The complainant answered thit he had one--eighth ; but by virtue of the Act of Parliament he tVek bound to give up the register to a majority of all the partners.
