Thou art the star that guide.; me still, The campass that will never •ary ! The beacon on the midnight hill, To light my course my gentle Mary ! LXLCUTION. The execution of John Mann, for highway robbery, was appointed to take place on W. doesday se'nnight, at 12, at Bury. Ausut two o'clock of the morning of t'iat day, the following order was delivered to the g.toler. by a messenger who had left London on the preceding afternoon:— " Whitehall, 15th August, 1825. 1111 to acquaint you that the accompanying respite has I , oen grdlited to John 31.. nu, only with a view to give time for Mr. Stem try Peer% consideration of his case, and that the prisoner must t ut be led to expect a further suspension of the law. " I am, Sir, your must obedient humble servant, 0 11. lIOBHOUSE. " To the Keeper of the Gaol, Bury St. Edmund's." This respite, it appears, wai granted in consequence of a petition having been transmitted from Hadleigh to the Home Secretary, after the announcement of the unsuccessful issue of the application to the Lord Chief Justice, by the Rev. j. G. Smith. In conformity with the little hope held out by the above letter, Mr. Orridge, the gaoler, anxiously im pressed upon the prisoner's mind that there was scarcely a possibility of Mr. Peel advising his Majesty to grant a pardon, when made acquainted with the merits of the case. The unfortunate man's hopes were, in conse quence, by no means sanguine, and his attention to his religious duties continued as strict as before. On the morning of Friday, however, he watched anxiously, from the sv indow of his cell to discover if the coffin, according to custom, was that morning carried into the chapel. He saw that it was, and the faint ember of hope died within him. The following are the particulars of the confession which Mann. some days previous to his execution, made of the robbery of which he was convicted, and which he attested before J. Benjafield, Esq. a Magistrate of the county. It was in consequence of a discrepancy be tween this cot fession and the evidence of the prosecu tor on . the trial, that the petition to the Home Secretary was grounded. Granting, however, that the state ment given by the deceased be correct, it will be seen that it does ma in the slightest degree lessen the crimi nality of the act for which he suffered death:—" On the 9th of March last, he, with T. Grimsey and others, were drinking with the prosecutor, J. Raynham, at the King's Head, in fladleigh, from about five o'clock till the time of the robbery ; he tossed with Raynharn for beer, and observed that he had foi l some money, and then said to Grinisey, • Old Raynham has got some money, and 171 hare it.' When Raynham left the house he followed him, and on going out, Grimsey said to him. • Tell my Lurcher (meaning Sarah Barnes) to get uld•Ra)nliarn's money. Sarah Barnes was standing out side of the King's Head, and he told her that Raynham bad got some money, and Tom Grimsey bad sent him to tell her to get it. It was then agreed that Sal Barnes should follow Raynhant, and try to get his money, and that he should be near, in case she met with any resist ance. Raynham and Sal Barnes walked together till they came near to Topsail-bridge, then went into a stack-yard belonging to Holibeck's Park. After being there a few minutes, Barnes called out,' You old rogue, you hurt me so, ra call my husband.' He went up to them, lend called 'Halloo, what are you doing to my wile ?"I' hey were struggling on the ground : he then struck Raynham with his fist, and Sal Barnes knocked him (the prosecutor) about the head with her patters; both Sal and himself put their hands into Rsynham's r octet, arid he took out the purse from the pocket, and Sal.and him returned into the street, and met Thomas Grimsey,.and he called out, Come along, Tom, oft have got old Raynham's money.' They all went up the street, and pasted the money by a light from thel window of the Cock public.house. There was only one red note, eight half-crowns, Ss. 6d. and some odd halt p.:nce. They shared 14s. 6d. each, and Tom Grim sey put some stones into the purse and sunk it in a pulk or water near the Cock, after which they went to the Lion tap, where they remained for some time drink ing" Mann also confessed having been engaged in upwards of forty other robberies. Sr. Gtonoa's HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday, a Board of Governors was held at the above Hospital, to transact ti:ebrdinary business of the establishment, but more particularly to investigate the conduct of the nurse Arm.tiong, brlonging to the Hospital, towards a pa tient, named Daniel Taylor, who died from an injury in his hand, by being thrown from his horse, and upon whom the Coroner's Inquest sat, on Saturday evening, at II e Turf Tap, in Grosvenor-place. After hearing a few depositions it was determined that two Gentle men should be appointed to communicate with the rimer, as it was the uh:inion of the B and that the ver dict returned %li not in accordance with the testimony t!.•at was produced before the Jury. The Inquiry was then adjourned till a future day. On the Ilth of July, at ten at night, a fire broke out in the Palace of the Pacha of Salonichi, and, in a vet)? short time all the apartments, the harem, the stables, and the immense buildings, containing the re sidences of the Kiaja Bey, and of above 20u0 persons • attached to the Royal Household, were destroyed.— About I;() other houses shared the same fate, and the ruin, covered a apace of above a quarter of a league in extent.

FROM L'HISTOMINIMISPCHIENS CILLEBRIS. • O n e of the rocatataintera fillWansisneowitoseitrade it is to-exhibit litre monidesasid diticiatbears, bad also trained half a dozen dogs to dittietit 'nerd:es. One mounted plard with a gun and little sabre; another made perilous leaps ; a third jumped 'like a frog ; a tough clad in a black robe and placed in a chair, maintained a thesis, by howling incessantly at the ott!ers, and they replied in return, by barking at hint. in short, this little corps of four•fuoted comedians formed the revenue of their master with two ; for mankind, pay, better for what amuses them, than for lessons of wits: door and prudence. Through a jealousy, too common. among people of the same trade, another dealer in bears poisoned five of the dramatis persona of his rival.. who, afflicted at so serious a loss (for five dancers can not be made in a day), fell sick and took to his bed. Having no means, and being in extreme want, the poor devil had recourse to the following expedient :—He trained his remaining spaniel to carry a billet, on which were written the following verses : • For my sick master in his bed, Mourning o'er his actors dead, MI whose drollery bath fled, Kind "waters, give me bread ! • The animal, which was very sagacious, had learnt his part in less than a week, when his owner said, " Go, &ludo's, and save the life of your master." Stipojou was a little marmozer, that mounted the dog's back and laboured with him in his mimic exhibitions. The dog accordingly received the monkey on his back, dressed in a rose-coloured gown and a blue turban; then, guided by the little sou of the mountaineer, be went to the place Belle Cour, and crowds ran to see the snort. On this, the monkey alighted, and, seizing a stick, drove them to a certain distance, where they formed a circle. The ground being clear, the dog per. formed, by way of prelude, several of his customary tricks ; he then danced a minuet will the monkey ; he leapt for the King, the Queen, and the Count d'Artois;, and, at the conclusion of his tricks, he took a hat be tween his paws and made a collection, as he solieted respectfully the delighted spectators. The farthings, pence, and even pieces of silver, fell in such abundance, that the sick master got mosey enough to cure him, and in a little time set up another corps of comedians. In several of the Southern Provinces of the Nether lands subscriptions have been opened in favour of the Greeks. A writer in the Qmarterly Journal of Science rug. gents a plan for constructing sea ponds, for the pin-- pose of preserving and breeding a sufficient stock of various species of fish for the public markets. It has been found that sea-fish will live and thrive in, and also' breed, in ponds of enclosed waters ; and with regard to many, it also appear:, that it is indifferent whether the water be salt or fre.h, or brackish, or alternately fresh and salt. This plan would bring the fish within our own power, to be taken alive when wanted, and, from being better fed, in greater proportion and more uniformly good. There are three or four sea ponds in i Scotland, where the fish are thus kept : one n Orkney, ' one in the Frith of Forth, and one in Galloway. This has recently been put to the test in Guernsey, by Mr. Arnold ; in a pond of about four acres only, many spe cies of fish are now thriving; all those which have had sufficient time have propagated; and all have improved in quality, and many in a remarkable manner. Sunday evening. on Milbank, Westminster, a man, his wife, and the wife's sister, were taking a walk, and the wife carrying her infant, which was a healthy and fine child. After walking some time, the mother gave the infant the breast ; and then the sister proffered to carry the ails!. which was agreed on. The sister having obtained the infant, her care. as well as that of the mother, was, despite of the terrifically hot and suf. i l focating weather, “ to see that the baby was wrapped up warm, and particularly to pull a shawl or hand kerchief over its face, so that it might not catch cold." On looking at the infant shortly afterwards, it was found to be destitute of all animation, and that blood had issued from the nostrils. The mother screamed in the most frantic manner, and the father was indescrib ably affected, the infant being their first child; and as the party was on Milbank, hundreds were soon col lected about them, and crowds followed them along Milbank -street, B owling -street, to a Doctor's. Medical aid was tried, but the child was found to be dead. Wedgebury, the proprietor of the dogs Turk, Cap tain, Billy, and Sweep, who fought with the lions, Nero and Wallace, at Warwick, was at Oxford Races on Wednesday last, and standing within a quarter of a yard of the den in which Nero was confined. The animal, on hearing Wedgebury's voice, made a dread. fal plunge at him, and protruding one of his paws through the iron rails, seized hold of the back part of his. coat. Wedgebury, however, got away, but was Compelled to have the assistance of a tailor to repair his coat and waistcoat. The dog Turk is dead, bat his skin is stuffed ; Captain, Billy, and Sweep are all alive and well ; but they required a great deal, of nursing to preserve their lives. Saturday morning a band of shearers, amounting to about thirty, had come from the island of Rum to the Lothians. They were all of one family or tribe, and were conducted to Elinburgh by a venerable old man, the progenitor of most of them. He took his followers to the house of a countryman, of the name of Mac donald, in Baxter's Close; they were hospitably re ceived, and permitted to repose on the floor of his house, each wrapped in a plaid or blanket. The fatigues of a long journey soon threw these simple people into a profound sleep; but they were suddenly aroused by the groans of their ancient leader. They found him in the agonies of death! In a few minutes the old man was no more. When the first paroxysm of sorrow had subsided, the poor people deliberated as to his inter ment, when it was found out that they had only five shillings among them ! A coffin, however, was sup plied by charity. Tt,e New River Company furnishes annually to its tenants about seventy-eight millions of. hogsheads of water. This would give a daily supply of nearly two hundred and fourteen thousand hogsheads of water, which would be about eleven millions fire hundred thousand gallons, or upwards of ninety-two millions of pints of water daily, at the average charge of less than ld. per 100 gallons cf water supplied in the houses of the ten ruts.

When his anger had in 'some ()egret subsided, he at length said, " Look at that fort—leok as It; tan anybody pretend to eat their dinner with sech a thing?—Look at the dust—you have not wiped it—it is quite intelerable.=Here his fury became ungovernable. He seized the damsel by the neck, twisted it, struck her on the head, and pushed her down stairs. These were the facts on which the complaint was founded. Mr. Mixstirti. now asked the unchlvalrous merit what be had to say in his defence? He said he did not deny what he had done, but the treatment he constantly received, put it beyond his power to act with moderation. Not a sattAgpan, not a pet. not a kettle, not a cheese-waster, net a knife, n a tinder-box could he use, they were always so filthy. Ile had complained, but without effect. He would put it to the Magistrate, if he wanted to use a cheese-toaster, how be would like to have it brought to him dirty ? Be was not a god, and therefore could not bear it. Mr. Menu:a told hint it was necessary he should display some. thing a little snore approaching patience, and must therefore give bail to answer at the Sessions for the assault. Egrard nylor, the young man who was remanded on Saturday last, for a theft committed in the Sablonniere Hotel, Leicester-fields, was brought up this day for finther examination. Pedro de Aysseimo, the Gentleman from Mexico, whose pro perty was stoicu, attended, and repeated his former testimony. Mr. MlNbilriL, addressing him, observed that he understood he had expressed his dissatief..cti%nt because his property had not been returned to him without any-further trouble on his part. lie wished to inform him that, by the laws of Eoglaed, which were framed so as best to secure the punishment of offenders, the Magisirate was not empowered to take any such course. Several hotel-keepers attended upon this occasion . , in order to see if they could identify the prisoner, as concerned in the robberies committed upon their premises. Handbills were -brought to the office, which have been for some weeks past in circulation, detailing particulars of robberies made under circumstances of a precisely si milar nature. The difficulty which occurred in all these cases was that of iden tifying the prisoner, as the - thief bad, by entering late at night, and departing early le the morning, afforded but little opportunity of observing him. Theprisoner removed this difficulty himself. The landlord of the Bath Hotel stated, that a young man had taken a bed at his house on the night of the 27th July. He de parted ih the morning, and a ffiendeman missed out of his bed. ream his gold watch and seals, 8 sovereigns, and a valuable shirt pin. The porter was asked if be thought he could recollect the stranger who slept there on the night In question ? Ile said he had seen him but a short time. In the morning be got up at a quarter past five, and came down stairs. In the passage be called out for the waiter, and when the witness went to him asked the price of his bed? Witness told him half-a-crown. Prisoner—You said 3s. 6d. you know you did. Witness—Then that she*s potter* the man. The prisoner looked a gested 6alcoifesed at having inadvertently /grabbed this link in the ettain of evidence against him. The Magistrate told him he had better hold his tongue. Two young women who have visited him in prison were brought to the office. One of them passed in the prison for his wife ; she stated herself in the office to be his sister. Upon being questioned as to her mode of life, and where she Need, she hesitated for some time, and would give no satisfactory answer. Her companion said that she lived at No. 23, Walnut Tree-walk, Lambeth, where they had the ground-floor. An officer was immediately dispatched with one of the young women to this house. In the meantime the prisoner sus remanded. T. Pickett was charged with a robbery to the amount of £6l in the house of Mr. Pitt, a linen-draper, in Holborn, and was fully committed for trial. Mr. MINSKULL discharged Styles, the poor fellow who stole the box of linen from the Richmond Curia, after keeping him locked up until night. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - - ----- John Grand Mitigated, the subject of a revoking charge made at this Office a few days ago, was yesterday brought up for a further examination. The prisoner was professionally attended by Mr. Harmer. After the examination of one witness, who only deposed to the obscene conversation of the prisoner, Mr. CONANT observed, that be understood there was a Gentleman present who bad some other evidence to give respecting the prisoner.. Here Mr. Force, who keeps a print and *caricature shop at the corner of Sackville.street, in Piccadilly, came forward, and said that he had something to state. Mr. Force was then sworn, and said, that he has known the psi- totter a long time as a most detestable character; he has ohs* ob served through his window, at which there is generally coliecied a crowd of persons, the prisoner make his way gradually thmugh them, until be got close to some youth (Mr. Fares here described the most scandalous practices on the part of the prisoner.) He (the witness) having seen repeated instances of this kind of conduct in the prisoner, thought it his duty to consult tMe Magistrates, to know if be could not have him apprehended fir it ? but they gave It as their opinion, that Mr. Flares evidence would not go far enough. Witness has often endeavoured to make the prisoner aware that be knew what be was at, and, if possible, to shame bins away from the place, by holding up to his face a print of the Bishop of Mosher; bet, instead of going away in consequence, he stood and Imbed at it with the utmost unconcern. And is this you, Mr. Fonts," said the prisoner. " who comes forward against me—a man *hom I have patronised, and done material services tor " Donense --- aserVice," said Mr. Fore.; " I would not accept a service at the hand of such a wretch. I believe you once bid out 41. or Ss. in prints at my Shop, if you can that a service; but you know I know you well, and have seen your practices at my window with beys often ; and you know that it is as long as 18 years ago-;- you Were the talk of the town. I remember any opposite neigh bour, Mr. Lincoln, the hatter, caning out to me one morning, as stoodl at !sty shop-door, There is that rascal kluirhead gone up the street with a country : looking yew boy, that he has jam got hold s(, asps with dim; and I ran as fast as I could after you, but you red. This was two-years ago." Mr. 101 submitted that it was really talbel i a l blit a man down in this way, by detailing circumstances aid IA a Man's conduct at suck a distance of time. Mr. Couto: said, that although he did not pr iii to make this evidence against the prisoner, yet he did not think it unfit to have it stated, because, until he had heard what Mr. Foam Itair to' say, ' how could he judge if it were evidence or not? If he (Mr. Conant) were.. disposed to make ad the facts sail eiremogances stated to him evidence against Mr. fduirhead, he could tell Mt. Harmer that he could trace these practices of the prlioner not' to two, but to 'Musty year* back. •" I can speak to if years back myself," said Mr. Fores. Air. Hoaxes applied to the Magistrates on behalf of his client for a reduction of the proposed Ammon of bail, as being excessive, and above any bail ever required for such a charge. lie was also instructed to say, that it was entirely out of proportion to the income of Mr. Muirhead. Prisoner—lt is, Sir, quite out of proportion. Inn prove by my rent-roll, which I now hold in my hand, that my income, since the failure of the collieries on my estate, does not exceed 20001. per annum, and on that there are several inettosbrances. Besides, it is not likely I should run away. My estate le an entailed one ; and if I were to disappear, the next heir *odd take it, and cut me out altogether. After some conversation amongst the Magistrates, Mr. Comity said his present impression was that the bail was not excessive; but he would take a short time to consider, and Mr. Muirhead should have an answer. After the prisoner was removed front the office, an elderly re spectable-looking man, who bad been listening attentively to the whole proceeding, came forward, and stated to the ,Magistrates,, that he had lived as. steward with M r . M u i r h ea d a b out f orty years ago, but he was obliged to quit his service very soon,from practices he observed in Mr. Muirhead at that time, of sucina nature, that no man of character could live in his service. " Forty years ago!" said Mr. CONAN; " Why, then, when I said twenty years, I was considerably under the maric." Mr. Roe asked the steward what he considered Mr. Muirbead's property to be ? lie replied, that when he lived with him, (40 years ago) his rental ivas above 2,0001. a-year; and since then several coal-mines have been disc:Seem:l on the e.cate.

In the St. Olave's watch.house eharge-hook, .where he was fire taken, the name of Ms wife was also entered, h izt she did not appi.ar, and the sum and substance of Mr. Priest's charge was, that the wife of the prisoner struck his servantgirl several times 'on 'the back, on some dispute about a glass, front which the prisoner and his wife had drank the contents of a quartern of rum, of *hick she complained to her mistress. Here the man at the bar being called upon t actount. gala/kat the girl first charged hint and his wife with smite: the glass; she was repeatedly told it had been taken to the ba-, which proved to be the fact. The servant became insolent : :tis wife resented it ; squabble ensued, in which he very naturally trik his wife's p.:rs. They were both taken to the watch-house, and front thence to the Borough Compter, where (and here he seemed to struggle for utterance) my wife now lies, bruised from head to foot, on the very verge of delivery—nay, for aught I know. at dais moment dead. Alderman J. J. mania expressed astouidsment- at hearing this account. and desired the Keeper of the Borough tompter to state the woman's condition. Mr. Law said; she had been exceedingly ill throughout the tight. and had many bruises on her person.which she accused the watch men of inflicting, and said she believea her arm was broken. or shoulder dislocated.

Site cried " Mut der !" and said she knew she should be killed. I begged them to have mercy on her situation. One of the wrchmeu said, "" Zr you interfere, I'll take you." I saw a watchman strike her on the head with his staff. Mr. Priest denied thi► in lain. The prisoner.—She has a black swelSng or tumour of great size above the right eye, given her by a watchman's staff. Mr. Law again questioned on oath—She has, and avributes it to a watchman. Hanes, a patrol, and IS woman named Tvans, swore that there was no . cry of murder: that she was taken out of :he hinge as humanely as possible. Sullivan, Scauhury, fierier, and other watchmen, all swum tkai no blows were struck by any of their fraternity. Alderman Sums asked Mr. Priest if, under such circumstances * he meant to press the charge against the prisoner? Mt. Priest said, No. Alderman asurir said, he had bestowed the greare‘t attention ro the cue; and could come to no other conclusion from the eviJence than that his wife's illness was the result of her own violence. Shenld be, however, be able to ()braid further evidence, the case should be again beard, and the watchmen, if guilty, punished. He was desired to leave his address, which he did, as housekeeper, 41, Cartwright.streer, East Smithfield.
