~= f THE HEIRESS'S COMPLAINT. FROM THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Why tell me, with officious zeal, That I am young, and rich, and fair, And wonder how my soul can feel The pings of sorrow and of can?? Why dost thou count the golden store, The sparkling jewels that are mine, And name the suitors o'er and o'er ' Who breathe their incense at my shrine ? Know that I scorn the sordid train Whose loveless vows are bought and sold— know that the heart I sigh to gain Despises, spurns, my worthless gold I love—l dare not breathe his name, The son of genius and of mind ; lie climbs the steepy path of Fame, Content to leave the crowd behind ! And while in halls illumiii'd bright, I hear the same false flatter; :s o'er, De patient wastes the midnight light In studious toil, in learned lore ! Seldom he seeks the giddy throng, And then he stands retied, apart, And views the dance, and hears the song, With listless look and joyless heart ! Ile turns from Love's all-speaking eye; Ills mind to fame, to science clings, Thron'd in a world of visions high, Of deep and vast imaginings! Aiy vaunted wealth, my flatteed face, The praise of coxcombs may employ ; But he regards that dross at base, He holds that beauty as a toy ! Yet must I still reluctant wear These flashing gems, these robes of state, And nightly must submit to share • The paltry vanities I hate! Oh ! never shall the world deride My passion with unfeeling jest, While smiles of more than Spartan pride Can hide the tortures of my breast! Thy teats flow fast—now judge if gold Can banish anguish from its shrine ; And say if ever tale was told So sad, so sorrowful as mine? • NAVAL FIA•G AT IVUOLiVICH. The entertainment lately given by the Officers of the! Royal Marines at WOoIWICII CO the Duke. of CLARENCE, exceeded, in regard to sumptuous inagniEcence, any thing of the kind that was ever before witnessed,/ while the reception given to his Royal Highness by thoff meri torious servants of the Public was marked by the kindest and most generous feelings of loyalty towards their il lustrious guest. At an early hour of the day when he honoured them with his company, the Royal Duke, who is General of the Marine Forces, was received in the barracks, where all the men belonging to the divi sion who are not serving in ships of war, and who amount to about 700, were drawn out in line, and went through several evolutions in a style of military exact ness that would have done credit to any regiment in his Majesty's service. They are a fine body of men, and their appearance was excellent. His Royal Highness next inspected the different rooms of the men through out the barracks, and afterwards saw them at their re- • spective messes, from which none of them were suffeted to be disturbed while he was present. Ile was pleased to express himself in terms of war m approbation of the cleanliness and good order, as well as the admirable discipline which prevailed amongst them. Between six and seven o'clock in the afternoon the dinner was served up in the grand mess-room of the barracks. It consisted of every delicacy which the season could af ford. The Duke being ushered in by the principal Officers, took his seat at the head of the table. Among the other visi , .ors were Colonel Fitzclarencc, Sir Thomas MDT, Sir Cunireve, Lieutenant-General • acleod, Adjutant-Gtoo2ral of Artillery, Sir Alexander Dixon, Colonel Ford, of the Audio y, the I lononrable Mr. Eardley, Commodore with stveral other Officers of the Artilleq and Ordnance. The company amounted altogether to fifty-four per sons. The Officers took their seats to the right and left of their illustrious visitor, according to then seniority. His Royal Highness, though highly gratified with the splendour of the banquet, was remarkably abstemious eh in eating and drinking. Ile dined off a single dish, and contented himself with a small quantity of• sherry wine mixed with water. When the cloth was removed, the l.ealth of the KING was drank with four times four. The Duke of YORK and the Army was the next toast. When the health of the Duke of CLA• RENCE was drank, his Royal Highness expressed his acknowledgments in a neat speech ; and afterwards, on the Royal Marines being given, he was pleased to speak of that force generally, and of the Woolwich division in pat ticular, in terms highly flattering and comilimen tary. The Royal Marines he said, had, while serving on board his MAJESTY'S ships, been at all times distin guished for their valour, and their loyal and orderly conduct ; and while serving on shore, they were equally as efficient as any of his MaJesee's land forces. He was particularly delighted with the great improvement which he had that day witnessed in the manoeuvres and discipline of the ‘Voolwich division, which, front a' small beginning had been raised to a tine and effective body of men. During the whole evening, his Royal Highness conversed in the most familiar and affable manner with all the old Officers who sat near him, and did not retire until eleven o'clock. Monday, the 12th instant, the Earl of RCMIES re turned to Scotland from his studies at Eton College, when a number of the servants, immediately connected with the estate, were assembled at Leslie House, to welcome the young Nobleman to the ancient seat of his illustrious forefathers. Upon this happy occasion mirth and joy, abounded, and the meeting was farther en livened by the presence of the Baltiirnie band, who played some beautiful slow airs and reels. The dance was kept up with great spirit till a late hour, and the bumpers were respectively drained to the health of Mr. LESLIE (to whose cheerful di'position the Meeting owed much of its hilarity) and to the young Earl, mixed with many good wishes for prosperity to the house of Leslie. A Cornet of Hussars, who was not the most poll Died in his manners, having recently joined his Regiment, w asked by his Colonel, " what his father was?' he "aplied, farmer !"—" Pity your father did mot make you follow his tiade." Upon which the Cornet asked, " Pray, Sir, w hat is your father?"—" A Gentleman, Sir."—" Pity he did not make you one." Gwen:mg, Aram 20.-:-The body of Archibald .

CREDULITY, SODA WATER, &c.—A young woman of very-genteel address and appearance, who gave her name Mrs. Elisa Louisa Edey, was brought before dr. Ileac% yesterday, in custody of Nicholls, charged by a whole host of angry prosecutors with having wheedled them out of their money, by representing herself to be what she was not. This Mrs. Eliza Louisa Edey is the professed proprietress of the coffee-shop, No. 24, Charing-cross—a sort of minor coffee-house, for the dispensation of ready-made economical coffee, well-greased muffins, ginger-beer, and soda water; and she is moreover the re puted relict of a Mr. Edey, by whom the said coffee-shop was esta blisi,:d, and who was some time a purser in the Royal Navy, but was in no degree related to Dr. Eady, the wall-Chalker. The first person who came forward from the crowd to prefer his comp:aint against her was a fresh-coloured elderly Gentleman, named ; before he began, the Magistrate directed that Mrs. Ede) , should be accommodated with a chair, she seemed so much oppressed by her predicament. A chair was accordingly brought her, she seated herself very gracefully, and then Mr. Hallen de posed as follows : •' I came to tow!, from Devonshire about three weeks ago, and took up my residence at the Golden-cross, Charing cross. On the Thursday following, I breakfasted at the house of this Lady—at her coffee-house, No. 24, Charing-cross. Whilst there, I asked her it she let lodgings, and she replied that she bad a room which she could get ready in a few days. I agreed to take it ; and on the Monday morning following, her servant came to me with a note, saying the room was ready. I sent my luggage by the servant, and in half an hour after I went and took possession of the room. I had then some conversation with Mrs. Edey, in the course of which she informed me that she had unfortunately indorsed a bill for £3B, which bill was returned dishonoured, and she should be arrested unless she could settle it that day. This, the added, would be a serious exposure for he:, for she was quite out of her sphere in her present undertaking; and she wished she could meet with some friend who would advance her five and twenty pounds until the following Saturday. She also said she was the widow of Captain Plomer, late of the 10th Hussars ; that she was the daugh ter of General Dunbar, who was some time ago Governor of Jersey, and was unfortunately drowned ; and that she was in the receipt of £lOO per annum from Cox and Greenwood's, as ruSion money. Relieving all this to be true, I lent her .£25 upon her pro mise to return it on the following Saturday, but on the Thursday she absconded, and I never saw her again until I met her last night in the Haymarket. I have made inquiry at Cox and Greenwood's, and I find that her story of rite pension is utterly false, and that she never was knowo the re at all." Witness lit.re put in a number of 1 letters which had pass:A between him and .sirs. Edey, which the Magistrate read, and then observed, " I should infer from these letters, that this money was advanced by you, tot your oirectiowde friend, Mau,' upon a erivate understanding of some kind or other, and not upon the representations you have mentioned." Witness said she had made similar representations to a number of Gentlemen then present in the office, who were all ready to pre fer charges against her. A number of Gentlemen instantly pressed forward and rather clamorously alleged many things against her, but she requested the Magistrate to allow her to reply to Mr. Hallen before he listened to anything further, and his Worship having expressed his willing ness to hear her, she went into a long story, in which she accused Mr. Hallen of having read epigrams to her, and talked love and nonsense to her, and having pressed money upon her, and having taken her to the Swan at Windsor, and finally, having succeeded in seducing her to his bed. To all this Mr. Hallen emphatically exclaimed, " It is false ! So kelp me GOD!" Ile seemed utterly astonished at her words, but nevertheless she coolly proceeded to detail many matters which we had rather not mention, and she ended by declaring that his man ners became so disagreeable to her, that she left her house on pur pose to avoid him, Mr. Hairs put a number of questions to her, touching her real name, and with much trouble he elicited from her, that she was riot the widow of Captain Plorner ; that she was not the widow of the late Mr. Edey, because she never was his wife, but only lived with bins as such; and that she was, in fact, the widow of a Mr. Web ster, who died some years ago in France.—His Worship, however, Was of opinion, from the tenour of the letters put in by Mr. Hallen, that he had no remedy but by civil action. Mr. Garratt, a solicitor, now came forward, and stated that he also had been grossly imposed upon by Mrs. Edey. She consulted him professionally as to the disposal of leases, the recovery of large debts, &c. as though she was a person of large property; she re presented herself to him as the widow of Captain Plomera and niece, by marriage, to the late Master of the Rolls, and she even put herself into mourning on the death of that dignitary. In short, her manners were so lady-like and prepossessing, that he believed her to be a Lady, and as such he introduced her to his wife, and" i had actually become engaged for her in the payment of certain ac ceptances, for which he was yesterday threatened with proceedings. This witness did not say how be, a solicitor; could believe that a Lady of large possessions and accomplished Manners would conde scend to become a pumper of soda-water, a liberator of ginger beer, and a coddler of coffee at three-pence a pint ! He had no specific charge to prefer against her, however, and as she did not deign to reply to anything he had said, we pass on to the next charge. But we should first observe, that it was here stated, both by the Solicitor and the country Gentleman, that she had repre sented herself to have the honour of being known to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Ri chard iiiruie; and that his Royal Highness and his Grace of Wel liugton, often called at her shop to taste her soda-water ! The next charge was made by an old man and his daughter, trained Withers. The old man officiated as waiter in this accom ! plished Mrs. Edey's coffee-shop, and she had contrived to coax the daughter out of 201. under pretence of wanting it to pay elpenees at Doctor's Commons, in consequence of having to administer to Mr. Faley's will; and Mr. Garrett produced a paper, which he said she had drawn up for the purpose of imposing upon this young woman. It purported to be a schedule of certain property belong ing to her—viz. " The house at North End, 5,0001. furniture in the same, 5001. the lease of the house in Regent-street, 5001. furni ture in the same, 2001. arrears of annuity, 2001. bill over-due from Mr. (Somebody), at Valparaiso, 751. lease and good-will of the hotel at Charing-cross, 7001." And many other items of the same kind, amounting altogether to many thousand pounds. Mr. Haw.: observed that this charge, like the others, was not tangible. It was evident that the young woman had parted with her money on the credit of the sum total in the schedule now pro duced; and as there were many items in it which could not be ne gatived, the charge of fraud must fall io the ground. Sir RICHARD Ram said it must be considered a matter of debt, for a bare naked lie could not be construed into a felony or misde meanour. The whole of these charges, he said, was another proof of the facility with which credit could be obtained in the present day, when people were so anxious w be doing something with their money, that they would intrust it to Jack Straw or the Man in 'the Moon. Samuel House, a broker in Sloane-street, was the next who came forward against her • and, though he was not actually a sufferer like the rest, his was th e only case which the Magistrates could take cognizance of. It appeared in this case that the lady-like and ac complished sodawater-pumper bad fixed her affections, within these few days, upon a stately young Life Guard, named Whituell ; that she was actually in treaty with the Colonel of the Regiment for the discharge of this man; and in her anxiety to have apartments for her gigantic lover, she endeavoured to procure furniture on credit from this Mr. House, by calling herself " Mrs. Whitnell," and re let ring him for her character to her housekeeper, one Mrs. Dexter, her sight-hand woman, confidant, and factotum ; who, on this occa sion, changed places with her mistress, and became " Mrs. Edey," on purpose to give au excellent character of " Mrs. Whitnell." But Mr. House was not to be bamboozled, and so he saved his tables, &c. Mrs. Edey, in reply to this last charge, admitted her love for the Life Guard, but declared that all the rest of it was a vile conspiracy got up by the country Gentleman aforesaid, in pure spite. It was lac P-I/rY revenge, she said, of a disappointed man. '1 heir Worships, however, saw the matter in a very different light, and she and her housekeeper, Mrs. Dexter, were ordered to give t wenty-four hours notice of boil for conspiring to defraud Mr. !Luse, the broker. WORSHIP-STREET. A case of considerable importance to the Public came on before S. Twvroan, EA. Mr. A. White, son of Mr. White, of Bishops gate-street, stated, that on the morning of Tuesday se'imight be had occasion to ride in his father's chaise to Hackney, and that he gave t . :l, toll to the gate -k eeper , w h o asked him whether the horse he utuve was hired? The answer was in the negative, and the turn piks-man then asked the witness's name and place of abode. Wit ties.s refused to give this information, upon which the defendant procteded to enforce his demand by seizing the reins. After some attempts to proceed, which were forcibly resisted, and an unavail ing demand o f c h ange o f t h e mone y g iven by witness, the horse aid chaise were left in possession of the defendant, and the witness walked to hackney, not, however, before the defendant offered to acquiesce in the demand of the witness, after having learned his name. Two farmers of the post-horse-duty appeared in behalf of the tollgate-keeper. It was not denied that he acted under the in structions of his employers. The Magistrate considered the whole matter reduced to the single question, whether the toll-taker had a right to demand the !nine and address of the complaltiant, after he had been told that the horse was not a hired one? He (the Magistrate) was convinced that, if the defendant had a right to demand the complainant's name and place of abode, he also had a right to demand the same front himself, or any other Gentlentan travelling upon the road ; but he was of opinion that no such right existed, and that there was nothing in the Post horse Act that war. ranted such a proceeding. Hs should therefore convict the defen dant; but as there was no charge of incivility, the penalty should be no more than ss. The Gentlemen who appeared for the defen dant requested that the penalty might be increased to 40s. in order that they might be enabled to appear. The Magistrate, considering that a very important question was involved, consented ; and the de fendant was azcordingly convicted in that penalty and costs. MANSION-HOUSE. TITHE CAUSE..-..Yesterday the LoaD MAYOR. (With whom was I the City Solizitor as assessor) was occupied in hearing the case of tithes which has excited considerable faluent in the parishes of St. Mary Woo Moth and Woolchurch, of which the Rev. Mr. S. Bridges is the Rector. The circumstances ten ter which a number of the inhabitants for non-payment of tithes were summoned, were these :—The tithes had been allowed to accumulate for six, eight, and ten years, and in the particular case before his Lordship for twelve years. The present occupier had only lived in the parish two years, during which time he had not been applied to for the payment of arrears, nor did it appear that proceedings had been adopted to enforce pay ment from the preceding tenants. The Loin Mayott (with whom the City Solicitor concurred), after hearing the case at great length, was of opinion, that the Rec tor had forfeited his right to recover, by neglecting to demand his tithes annually, anti take proceedings far their recovery against the former tenants. There had been gross neglect on the part of the Collector ; the rates :night have been improperly formed of assessed, and the inhabitants were now, by the lapse of time, deprived of the right of appeal. Besides, it was not inspossihie that some of the rates had been paid. U; der all these circumstances, the warrants of distress prayed for on behalf of the Fector were refused. GUILDHALL Mr. Horton appeared on a summons from th 2 C.ollvetn; of the United Parishes of St. Nicholas (Nave, and St. Nicholas Cole Ab bey, for not paying his due rate of tithes. The Collector attended, and preferred his charge. Mr. Horton then explained why lie did not pay the rate. He said, that fur 140 years his family had paid a certain rate to the Rector, and it was always received. In the united parishes there was about 171. a year required to make up the full dues of the Rec tor, and this used to be paid always out of the parish estate ; but lately the Churchwardens, at a Vestry, came to a resolution of levy ing this on the parishes, by laying on Is. 6d. in the pound. Now he did not refuse to pay this additional tithe, if that levy had been made in the way appointed by the Act of Parliament. He then I produced the Act, called the Fire Act, and read the clause which gave the parishes the right of levying certain sums for the arrears of tithes to the Rectors ; and in this it stated, that the Aldermen and Common Councilmen of the Ward should attend at such parish Vestry, and then an order made by them would be imperative. This was not the case when the Vestry came to the resolution: it was the Churchwardens alone who were there: and as no Alder man was present, lie considered it not legal, and therefore - refused to pay it : when the order was made according to law he would obey it. The Alderman, after reading over the clause of the Act, said the objection was good, and until the rate was made legal he had a right not to pay it. The parties then retired. MARY-LA-BONNE. James Longmore was fully committed, charged with robbing a woman of the town of l is. in money. The fellow was what is termed a Cad, at the Police Offices, and under the semblance of the authority of an officer, with a constable's staff, frightened the poor creatures who nightly infest the streets out of money, under threats of sending them to the tread-mill, &c. EDINBURGH POLICE. Monday, a complaint was brought against a Mr. Peter M'lntyre, charging him with committing a gross outrage in the house of a Gentleman of great literary eminence in George-street, upon the previous Friday. It appeared that the prisoner had rushed into the apartment of the Gentleman in question, and furiously demanded to be put in possession of certain manuscripts, which,. he averred, he had placed in that Gentleman's hands, in order, no doubt, to impress him with a due sense of his extraordinary capacities. Mr. coolly replied that he was not aware that he had any of the prisoner's manuscripts; but, if he had, he would cause them to be restored to him ; whereupon the prisoner burst out into the most passionate invectives, and might have proceeded to actual violence, had not three Gentlemen,who were present with Mr. at the time, collared him and pushed hint out of the door. This irritable son of genius now commenced an attack more annoying than the former, by battering the street door and collecting a crowd, which made it necessary to commit hint to the charge of a watchman. The pri soner proceeded to read a written defence, half poetry and half prose, and stuffed with horrid epithets—sesquipedalian words of most jaw-breaking dimensions, but which be discharged against the impatient tars of foe Judge with marvellous volubility. The import of die defence, so far as could be collected, was, that he was upon the most intimate footing with a number of eminent literary characters, whom he named. He estimated the value of his manuscript at thirteen shillings; and confessed that it had been returned to him—a circumstance of which he was ignorant when he committed the outrage. _ _ The ;Magistrate ordained him to find caution to keep the peace, Wider the penalty of 101. upon hearing which sentence the prisoner looked round the Court-room with an air of the most imposing dig nity, declaring he was sure there was not one there to whom he was not sufficiently well known, and who would not answer for his peaceable conduct. In making this assertion, however, it turned out that he was only exercising the poelica licentia, and tat the room muttering be was sure that Professor would bail him uut. The Archdeacon and Clergy of Bath and Wells are signing a Petition to the House of Lords against the Alai quis of LANSDOWN'S Bill in favour of the Unitarians being permitted to so temnlze marriages in their own Chapels. FEMALE INTREPIDITY.—Thursday week last, as a child about five years old, named Benjamin Franklin, was playing with others on the brink of a pond, in the parish of Elstree, he fell in, and was on the point of drowning. Some of the neigh bours, who saw the accident, hastened to the pond, hut were afraid to venture in and lend assistance; their screams, however, fortunately for the child, brought from her cottage a woman named Katharine Bower (a wife and the mother of several children), who, on arriving at the spot, instantly plunged in and saved the boy at the moment: when he had sunk. As the action was perfectly disinte rested, we are happy to hear that the highly spirited and merito rious conduct of this woman has attracted the attention of the Royal Humane Society, and that they immediately ordered an extra re ward to be paid to this humane and courageous female. Monday se'nnight, as Mr. James Milne, mason, and Mr. John Smith, manager of the Clayhills brick-works, near Aberdeen, were returning in a gig from the bay of Nigg, the horse became unmanageable, and the reins broke; when, darting off, the gig had come in contact with some large stones on the road-side, and both were thrown out and killed on the spot. It has been resolved to build another bridge over the Seine, at Paris, between the Esplanade of the Invalids and the Champs Elysees, which is to be a suspension iron bridge, to serve both for foot passengers and carriages. Saturday se'nnight, in the Police Court, Edinburgh, the proprietor of the wild beasts on the Mound brought a charge against a young man, of having set a dog upon his kangaroo, which it tore dreadfully, besides bitin off its nose. The animal thus disfigured lie valued at 401. 1 ' but the Court fined the defender 20s. The residence of Sir ISAAC NEWTON was not in St. Martin's-lane, as erroneously stated, but in St. Mai tin's street, Leicester• square, which can be attested by deeds still in eikistence. The house is now standing in a sound state, adjoining Orange street chapel, the Sunday School establishment of which occupies a part ; the study of Sir ISAAC is still to be seen on the roof, and no doubt, in his time, from its then open situation in the midst of Leicester and St. Nlartin's-lields, as shewn by the old maps, was well calculated for an observatory ; little is known of the dweliiiig by the present inmates, but be tween twenty and chitty years since, it was frequently visited by the curious.

This day the provincial Synod of Perth and Stirling met, and alter the serman the Reverend C. Craig, of St. Ninian's, was chosen Moderator. A t ter some routine business it was unanimously agreed that an overture be transmitted to the General Assem bly, in behalf of the members of the Church of Scot land resident in the West Indies, during the aii mtge. ments to be made by his Majesty's Government, for an extended system of religious instruction, &c. in those countries. It was also unanimously agreed to that r. memorial, having the same object in view, be presented to Lord Bathnrst. The case of the Rev. William M'Gregor Stirling, e Port, then came tinder the consideration of the Coo n: This was an appeal from the sentence of the Pres: bytery of Dunblane, deposing him from the office of the holy ministry. The whose minutes, with the ow. modals in the cause, were read. _ _ _ Parties having been heard, it was moved by 7 , !:.

It was afterwards moved by Mr. Masson, of M.Werty, and seconded by Mr. Caw, of Bothkerinar, that tLe case be referred simpliciter to the General A..,sembly. votes being taken, the sentence was affirmed I)) a ma jority of ene. Whereupon the neces,ai y ,te a s Laving been taken by the respective parties, the cause was re moved to the Supreme Court. APRIL 21.—The Synod having again met, they took up the cause of James Campbell, ironi the Presb)tevy of Dunkeld, when the sentence of the Presbytery ap pealed from was read.. The parties were then called to the bar, when there appeared James Campbell, for himself, and Robert Hill, writer in Stirling, as his agent. No appearance was made fur tile Presbytery of Dunkeld. The Synod, after hearing the comparing party, agreed to reset se the. sentence of the nest)) tery of Dui keld appealed from. in consequence of its being founded' upon a sentence of the lesser excommunication, on a charge of contumacy by the Kirk Session of Weim, which in that %!age of the proceeding the Synod judged to have been incom petent; remit the case to the Pr.esbytery,enjoininA them to take into consideration the subject of the petition of James Campbell, and to give a deliverance theicopot according to the rules of the Church. At a public meeting held at Plymouth last week, k was agreed to petition Pat liameat for the " e,tablis4- ment of a Court of Requests in that Borough, fur the recovery of small debts not exceeding five pounds, upon the general principles of such Acts already passed far different places in this kingdom." • LIMERICK, APRIL 21.—Sanday morning the body at a farmer, named Oakley, was found on the I..ad,about two miles from Nenagh, with several rear ks of vielerce. He left Nenagh on the night before, in company with two others, who are supposed to have perpetrated the murder ; one of them has been apprehended and com mitted to jail, and the other has fled frem Justice. A Brussels Paper contains an account of a murderer, who was executed on the 11th at Groningen:—" The criminal John Quint, although hardy 80 years of age, was a monster in crime. Soon after he had enter(, the at my he deserted, was apprehended ; deserted a second time, and again escaped. On his second apprehension he was condemned to three yeats' hard Isibour. lie soon, however, escared, and took lodgings in the house of a widow, at Noordhorn, which he quitted very shortly, after having robbed the w idow of everything which she possessed, and thrown her into a privy, where she perished. On his arrival at Unwierda, a province cf Groningen, he robbed the house in which helodged, and escaped to Rica:yen, where he took up his reg. deuce with a peasant. lie one day scut this peasant out with a letter, and, in his absence, drew the wife to a well, under pretence that he had by accident dropped a saucepan into it, and watching his opportunity threw her in ; he then returned to the house, and robbed it of everything portable; this was on the ;;Oth dinuary, 1823. On the 11th of the following inonli, he intro duced himself into the house cf an inhabitant of So meren, who resided with his daughter, and having con trived to procure the temporary absence of the mao, killed the daughter with a hatchet, robbeJ the house, and fled. In the beginning of September, 18`28, he was arrested at Hanover, and delivered over to the autho. rities of Groningen. He heard his sentence pronounced with the greatest song Jroid; but his conscience being awakened as to the future, he turned ROlll4ll Catholic, and marched to the scaffold, accompanied by a Priest, and praying as if from a book, althoagli he knew no: how to read.
