Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd'•, dated Calais, 30th October:-- , “ The embarkation of the Army of Occupation commenced yesterday, and last night at twelve o'clock, 44 sail of vessels went ont . of harbour without any accident, excepting the Lively Dock-yard sloop, which got on shore, but will be got off next tide, without damage. On board of these vessels are the 4th regiment of foot ; 6th ditto; 7th ditto; 79th ditto; and part of the Artillery. The embarkation still cortimas very active:' DOVER, OCTO3ER 31. The Gth and 71st Regiments marched this morn ing for Canterbury, and the 73th for Chichester, by the Coast. The 39th Regiment. and 2d Battalion Rifle Bri gade, came in last night and this morning ; the for mer will remain here until to-morrow, and the latter marched on for Hy-the, to halt for the night, being ordered to Portsmouth, to emlyuk for Ireland. Came in this day several, large tratAports, having on board parties of the Royal Artillery, Artillery- Drivers, and Royal Staff Corps ; also horses, Flying- Artillery, and pontoons : part of the field-pieces have been sent off for Woolwich. NOVEMBER I.—The 3cl,:sth,9tb, 49t1i Regiments, and Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, arrived of here last night, from Calais, the greater part of which have disembarked this morning, and the remainder went for the Downs or Ramsgate ; the 3d and c..'9th have marched for alai, to remain for the right ; the 9th marched for Canterbury ; and the sth and Rifle Bat talion remain here till to-morrow, as well as the 39th, which arrived yesterday. Two of the vessels, in cominginto the harbour last night, ran on board of each other, which caused some confusion, on board the smaller of the two, and a private belonging to the sth Regiment was, by the accident, knocked overboard and 'drowned ; his body was picked up this morning. ;• DcetoPy. the man who is supposed to have murdered his wife, and tilt awr. her into the well of the Duke of York public house, at Brompton, and who was discharged from the 99th Regiment, did not, as was stated (from another Paper), in the Star of the 29th ult. re-enlist into the AOth ; nor did ke accom pany a detachment of that regiment, which left Chatham, under the command of Lieutenant Px.vr. - 7, on the I :."th ch. consisting of volunteers from the former Corps. Oa the rzduction of the 99th RegimPnt, the man in question did offer himself to the 80th, but wa.,, with many others, rejected. DARING ATTE'.:PT AT Muitrorn.— Yesterday sennight, between 11 ar.d 12 o'clock in the day, the house o£ Mr. Impey, a miller, who re sides about half a mile from the high London road, leading to Berkbanapstead, in 1-lertiordsbire, was en tered in the most daring manner by robbers, sup poAd to be two men. Mr. Impey, who is of the So pm of Friends, was at the meeting of that persua a4 were all his family, except his sinter, upwards 'Of 70 years of age, who resides with her brother.--; She was in the passage leading into the garden, making arrangements for the dinner, when she, was met by a man who had entered from the back pre mises by the garden. The villain assailed, her with the Most horrid language and threats, and knocked her down ' he then in the: most brutal manner struck her several violent blows with a bludgeon; he pro ceeded to drag her down stairs into the cellar, by her legs and feet, so that her !nail struck against every step ; not content with this, when he had got her down ail the steps, most cruelly attacked her again with his bludgeon, with which he gave her most violent and repeated blows on the head and body, till she became ser.seless : the wretch then, sup posing her to be dead, was about to lease her, but on her moving her head a little he resumed his barbarity, and gave her several more violent blows on the head with his bludgeon, and left her weltering in he; blood. On leaving the cellar he tied the latch of the door with a string to a gimblet, which he screwed into the door-post, and which not belonging to Mr. Jamey, the villain no doubt took with hint to 2SiiiS in his de predations in the house. When she reaor.tred la:r senses a little she heard Wei voices in the house, one of them she had no . doubt was the man's voice Who had ao ill-treated her ; Silty re mained however but a short time, and carried off but little booty, chiefly consisting of silver and halfpence. It is supposed they were alarmed, and made a precipitate retreat, as it was discovered that the robbers had proceeded to break open Mr. Impry's bureau, but laud not completed. It. They were dis turbed, it is supposed, by the barking of a dog, concluding some person was approaching the house. Shortly after tha robbers had left the house, a man of the name of Joseph Hatch, echo is employed at Mr. Impey's mill, happening to go there, and knocking at the door a number of times without its being opened, or any answer given, he got into the orchard, and nearing a most ti.streArg noise, he got in at the back part of the house, and proceeded to the cellar, where he discovered Mrs. Impey in a most grievous state, her head, face, and other parts of the body being covered with blood, from the numerous wounds which she had received. Hatch ran with all speed to lierkharnp stead, and alarmed the congregation at the Church and at the I Quaker's Meeting. A, surgeon was procured to attend Mrs. Impey, and every other possible relief was afforded her; the Surgeon pronounced her wounds to be very dangerous, and we are sorry to say, they continued in that state up to Saturday, 'when she had a considerable degree of fever upon her. Every possible exertion was made on Sunday to trace out the robber. The only suspicious character that could be fixed upon was a MID who had been seen in Ikrkhampstead on Sunday morning begging. It was ascertained that he bad left the town about the time the robbery had been committed; he was in consequence pursued, overtaken, and brought back to Berkhanmstead in cus tody. He was interrogated, and on Monday he was examined before the Magistrates of the district, but nothing appeared to criminate him.—Mr. Henry Hare, the principal cashier of the Bank of England, and other highly remeetable Gentlemen who reside in that neighbourhood, made application to Mr. Buse; the Magistrate at the Public Office, llow-street, on Tuesday, ' who sent off Bishop with all possible speed. Soon after his an rival at Berkhampstead, the beggar was discharged ; he having I ascertained that a man of quite a different description had been seen coining out of Mr. Impey's house, between eleven and twelve o'clock on Sunday. A boy of the name of Joseph Bunn was discovered by Bishop, who had seen the man come out of ' sr., Impey's house. He gave the officer to understand he knew who the man was, but refused to discover him ; and he persisting IA that conduct, the officer took him before tke Magistrate', I where he still persisted in the same obstinate conduct. Neither threats nor promises bad any effect, a• he would not betray the man he knew.—The Magistrates were about to commit him as an accessary to the robbery, when he exclaimed, he would nut get himself into trouble to screen another-and then told who the man was, and who proved to be the son of a respectable butcher in that ueighbourhood. He was apprehended in consequence by Ikdop; He underwent two very long examinations on Thursday and Friday, before the Rev. Dnvm JUL/ and the Hey. JAIILS linaurstar, Magistrates for the County, and several Gentlemen of the neighbourhood. On the framer day they were engaged ten hours, and on the latter seven hours, in the investi gation ; after which he was committed for furtheremunination. 1441 P INTZLLrorificS. COVRT OF NT14015 BENCH, OCTOBER St. GIBSON O. MENDES. This case arose out of the loss of the ship Indian, chartered by the Government of Venezuela, to carry out recruits and stores from this country to South America. The ship sailed in October, 1817, and was wrecked in her outward voyage, .when all on board perished. The question was, whether the owner was entitled to freight, from the time the ship sailed till she was lost? The Charter-party covenanted for freight, at so much a month, while the ship was in the service of the Government of Venezuela, ell her return .to Lon Son, or to the day of her being cap tured, or last seen or heard of, to be paid to the Commander, the outward freight on her arrival in I lSouth America, and the homeward on her final dis charge in England. Mr. Cestrezzr., for the plaintiff, contended, that as freight was to be paid to the day of the ship being last seen or heard of, pro mks, freight was due for the part of the outward voyage which was performed. Mr. RICHARDSON, on the other side, maintained, Ithat as the freight was to be paid to the Commander at the outward port, and as the ship never arrived these, no freight was recoverable. The Cover were of the latter opinion. They said, I nis*_ by the general law, the safety of the ship is the mother of freight, and that, unless some beneficial services have been performed, the ship owner has ao clainr to recompense. Pasties may make a different contract for tnemselves, but it did not sufficiently appear that sueh was the intention a the present charter-party.—Judgment for the Defendant. DREADFUL FIRES. About a quarter before four o'clock this morning, the house of Mr. BONNA it. tailor, in Ratcliffe High way, was discovered to be on fire. On the alarm being first given, a gentlewoman of the name of ROBSON, who was sleeping with her child, about two years old, on the second &or, endeavoured to make her escape down stairs, but in consevence of the fire having originated in the lower part of the house, she found all egress by it impossible, and was obliged I to return up stairs. She then ventured to drop the child froni one of the second-floor windows, and a patrole was so fortunate as to catch it in his arms, when it was conveyed safe to the watering-house at the corner of Old Gravel-lane. Mrs. ROBSON (no ladder having yet arrived) shortly afterwards jumped out herself, but broke her thigh by the fall, and was otherwise very severely hurt. She was immediately conveyed on a shutter to the London Hospital. Mrs. BONNAR, and another child four years old, are, we lament to say, supposed to have perished in the flames. The fire notwithstanding the arrival of the engines and a go od supply of water, soon extended from Mr. BONNAR'S house to the adjoining premises of Mr. PICKET, tea-dealer, and, before six o'clock, both houses were completely destroyed. A shopman of Mr. PICKET'S was missing at eight o'clock. The house of Dr, HOREORD has been also much injured. Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, an-alarm ing and destructive fire broke out at the Leg of Mut ton and Trimmings public house, in Taylor's-build ings, Kingsland-road, kept by a b% Fowkes, which by six o'clock completely consumed the same, toge ther with all the household furniture, plate; linen, and an extensive sock of spirits, ale, porter, &c.. Thursday morning, between three and four o'clock, a fire was discovered in a small earthenware shop at the Halfway-houses (opposite the Wiltshire Lamb- Pond), Portsmouth, which was attended with the most calamitous consequences— the burning to death of a girl of 16, and a boy of 14 years of age—the scorching of a woman so severely that her life is dis paired of—and the. breaking of an arm . and other wise bruising of a young man—and the total de struction of the house and every article therein : the persons escaped from it with hardly any covering.— The origin of it cannot even be surmised by either of the survivors. It broke out in the front shop, where the fire had been put out two hours before the in mates retired to bed ; but, from its appearance when discovered, it must have been burning some time, as that room was enveloped in flames, and all the con tiguous parts of the house were so heated, that im- I mediately the air came in communication, the whole interior of the house ignited into an irresistible body of flame. The woman, Mrs. London, escaped with her infant and sister out of the back door ; but the latter, notwithstanding the appalling rage of the flames, could not resist attempting to save the lives of the children who were up stairs. She went pah of the way up, when the heat obliged her to return • and it is apprehended her life will pay the forfeit of so courageous and humane an attempt. During this interval, the eldest daughter of Mrs. London had succeeded in throwing two of the children out of the 4arret window into the arms of persons below ; and ale was urged to leap out herself ; but she said— ,* No, I will go back for my brother." The flames had now actually reached the very garment she had on, and overcome by her feelings and dreadful situ*r tion, she threw herself upon the bed, which was soon l eulphed in flames, and her dead half-consumed `boy was seen shortly afterwards to fall with the bed and the wreck of the upper part of the house to the ground ! Herremains were soon after taken from the ruins, and those of the boy, whom she had attempted to save, were found in the cellar, about two hours after the fire was get under ; and it would I appear that he had not awoke, and was suffocated in I his bed. The death of this girl is the more affecting, as she was of most excellent character, being a Mo nitor at the Portsmouth Lancasterian School. Seve ral females of that School attended her remains to the grave on the following evening. The occupier of the house (London) and his wife, were formerly a great many. years domestics in the service of the late Sir ROGER Curtis ; they kept a small shop, by which, and the most persevering industry, they ob tained a scanty living ; but every individual article they possessed became a prey to the flames, and for every article of clothing and morsel of bread they now obtain for themselves and four surviving chil dren, they are indebted to the kindness of their neigh bours. It is a case which claims the compassionate benevolence of the affluent.--. But for the timely ar rival of the engines (particularly the excellent and good.conditioned one belonging to the Royal Sap pers and miners) the most active and ready exertions, and plentiful supply of water, the destruction of the adjoining hou.es must have ensued. ktEctItION or LOseil,TRE Mtf leglat This unhappy man, convicted on Friday . the murder of his wife, was executed this morning, pursuant to his sentence, in front of Newgate. Since his condemnation he has been kept in by himself, and was visited several times by the Mr. DEVEREAUX, a Catholic Clergyman, am'. COTTON, Ordinary of Newgate. He seemed sensibi of the enormity of his conduct, but ccetainly -1 ' shew that sincere repent:nee which might have expected. He confessed the crime, but attempted justify himself, accusing a person, whom he sent in vatit to visit him in prison, as the cause of committing the horrid deed ; his object, he said, seading for this person, was that he might quit world in peace with him. He appeared on the fold a few minates before eight o'clock, and hour struck, the platform gave .way, and la,. him into eternity. The body was afterwards down, put into a cart, and taken to St. Barthel°. mew's Hospital tor dissection. A most atrocious murder was perpetrated on nesday sennight.
