The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Ilout , on, sent to Messrs. 13:iggs, Brothers, And Co. Gould-square, LOnJon. "Schooner Providence, off Benin river, 23d Dec. 1843. " Gentlemen—lt is with feelings of the deepest dis tress that 1 aunonnce to you the death of your distin guished friend, Mr. G. Belzoni, who departed this life on the 3d instant, at Gato, in the dominions of the King of Benin, on his way to Houssa and Timbuctoo. It was his dying tegnest that I should write to you the particulars of his illness and death. I therefore pro ceed to relate them as circumstantially as my memory serves me. Oa the 3(hlr of October, his Majesty's gun brig Swinger arrived off the bar of this river ; her boats orsrs,ed the bar to the schooner P:ovidence, belonging to we, having Mi. Belzoni on board, with only one ser vant and a Housra man. Mr. Belzoni brought letters from my fliend Mr. Robertson, of Cape Coast Castle, requesting my set vices to Mr. Belzoni with the King of Benin, in petting, his protection to the interior towards Iloussa. Oa Mr. Wlzoni's arrival I was engaged in dispatching the London . brig Frances Anne, and there fore was obliged to request him to wait a few days until she sailed. In the meantime he went up to see the King of Warra, who has the command of the rivers and creeks through which we pass to Benin. On his return I had settled with the Fiances Anne, and we left Bobee (where the vessels lay) on the 234:1 of November. " We reached Gato on the 24th, a distance of sixty five miles—the 2Stls Mt. Belzoni employed in reducing and repacking his trunks and apparel,preparatory to his long journey. He seemed in good spirits, although rather weakly in consequence of a slight bilious attack lie experienced at Bobee—we departed for Benin,distant forty-live miler, on the morning of the 26th, and arrived there the same evening. The mode of travelling is in a hammock slung to a long pole, and carried on men's shoulders at the tate of four miles an hour. During the journey, Mr. Belzoni complained of a troublesome diarrhea—on our arrival at Benin, I advised him to send for his medicine chest to Gato, and in the meanwhile to drink a decoction of the bark of the guava tree, which is regarded by the natives as an infallible cure for the bloody flux or dysentery, but be preferred wait ing for his own medicines. On Cbsk morning of the 27th he seemed still in good spit its. 1 waited on the King, and explained to him the objects of Mr. Belzoni's journey. I represented hint as an Indiaman, or Malay, who had resided long in England, and was now on his way to his own country, but that he had friends at Iloussa, and therefore begged his Majesty for his mes sengers and protection as far as Houssa. " Though much jealousy was exhibited on the part of the King.and his Nobles, regarding the objects of a white man travelling so far into the Bush, I at last suc ceeded in removing their objections, and arranged with the King that his messenger, with the boatswain of my factory, and one of my boys, should accompany Mr. Belzoni as far as llnussa, and wait there until Mr. Bel zoni's return from Timbuctoo, and bring letters from him to me, and to his friends in Europe, on the receipt of which I gave my written engagement to make the King a handsome present, and pay his messenger ac cording to the report the letters should give of his con duct. This was the plan I recommended to Mr. Bel zoni when he first explained to me the general object of his journey ; and he now seemed quite glad that I had succeeded so well, when 1 informed him of the result of my negociation w ith the King. His Majesty sent for him the same evening, but he was too unwell to see' him. On the mut mug of the 28th, the flux had as sumed every appearance of dysentery ; he had lost his natal spirits, and told n:e the hand of death was on him. In the evening, the medicines arrived, and he immediately took castor oil, and some laudanum as ft equenti y as the oil operated in the night. " On the 29th I advised a course of calomel, cons• tined with opium and rhubarb, until a slight salivation should be effected ; but he declined it as too hazardous in his then weakly state. Ile continued much the sante until the morning of the 2J of December, when he begged of me, as a last request, that I would send him down to Gato, and thence on board one of the vessels at Bobee, in the hope of the sea breeze having a bene ficial effect ; to which, though reluctantly, I at last con seated. I had then, indeed, but little hopes. I accord ingly got the people ready, and sent him off at eight o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Smith, intending to fol low myself the moment the hammock-boys should re turn hum Gato. They reached that place late at night. On the toad the flux abated, and on his arrival, Mr. Belzoni, although much fatigued, considered himself better, and appealed in good spirits. Ile ate some bread, and drank a cup of weak tea. lle slept until four o'clock, %%hen he awoke with a dizziness in the bead and a coldness in the extremities. lie did not speak, but his eyes she‘, ed deliiium ; he drank some arrow-root gruel, and continued in a weak state, suffering but little pain apparently, until a quarter befote three, r.m. when lie breathed his last. " On the morning of his leaving Benin he called me, and desired t h at, in the event of his death, 1 Orould send the who!e of his trunks and package - , with the excep tion of his medicine chest, which he wished me to accept, on board of the Liverpool brig Caster, and then jointly with Mr. W. Fell, supercargo of that ves , .el, look over the Various articles which he had brought out for pay ment of his travelling expenses, and sell such as we might conceive would cause too much expen•.e and trouble in returning home, and that the remainder of what could not be sold, together, with his weating ap pate', books, papers, &c. should be shipped on board the Caster, and forwarded to your address in London. lie then, with much difficulty, wrote a few lines to your house, which 1 sealed up with his memorandum•book. w as .ttiout to write to Mrs. Belzoni, but his strength Lot rd flokkevel., he desired me to bear witness that hewed in the fullest and most affectionate rearm brance of her, and begged I would writ! to her and •end her the ring which he then wore. He was per cey collected, and spoke with calm fortitude of his approaching death as au event certain, and &dated, when he had finished, that he was satisfied, and corn. mitted his life and spirit to the will of GOD. I arrived at Gato the afternoon of the 4th. Mi. Smith had already prepared the body for intetrnent, anti I went and arranged with the Governor for the ground roupd a large plane-tree, under whose wide spreading branches we dug the grave siz feet deep; it was finished at nine o'clock, when we committed his ie• mains to the earth, paying every respect the situation and time permitted. I read the Church of England service (burial) at the grave, and at the conclusion my eighteen canoe-men, with Mr. Smith and myself, fired three vollies of musketry over the grave. The follow ing morning I sent his trunks and packages down to Bobee, under the care of Mr. Smith, to the Caster brig, and requested Mr. Fell to allow his carpenter to make tne a headboard with the following inscription. He kindly sent it up by return of the canoe, and I placed it over •the grave. I ought also to mention, that the brig Caster, the schooner Providence, and the American brig Curlew, fired each several minute-guns out of re spect to the memory of him who had so lately been their distinguished guest:-- •` Here lie the remains of G. Belzoni, Eiq. who was attacked with a dysentery at Benin, on the 26th of November, nu his way to Hama and Timbuctoo, and died at Gate on the 3d December, 182.1. The Gentleman who placed this inscription over the grave of this intrepid and enterprising traveller hopes that every European visiting the spot will cause the ground to be cleared, and the fence around it put in repair, if necessary." SOUTH AMPTON, Auo. 28.—Thomas Find, a grocer of this town, who had been sentenced to twelve months imprisonment, under the Insolvent Act, for fraudulent conduct, has made his escape from prison. About five o'clock on Wednesday morning last, a person to whom the insolvent had made over a large part of his property by an assignment, having dogged the keei:er of the Debtor's Prison out of the jail, went to his wife, and pre senting a paper, told her that he was the only detain ing creditor, and there was a release for him. The woman, who knew the person speaking to her had some connexion with the prisoner, hesitated a little, when she was told, that if she dared to keep the man a prisoner' s any longer, she and her husband would be severely' punished. Alarmed at this, and not knowing the differ• ence between the prisoner's situation and a common im prisonment for debt, she unbarred the door, and in five minutes he was out of the reach of pursuit. At the Assizes of Kilkenny, on Monday, six wretched men were convicted of the murder of Mr. Marurn, which excited so great a sensation when it occurred. The trial lasted fifteen hours, three and a half of which the LORD CHIRP JUSTICE ' who presided, was occupied in charging the Jury , and recapitulating the evidence from 1113 pages of notes. His Lordship was upwards of six teen hours on the Bench. The verdict was returned, and sentence of death passed at eight o'clock on Tues day morning. The scene was awful beyond anything that has occurred in that county for many years. Mr. W. Cobbett, jun. has applied to Mr. Hanson, the Magistrate, at Hammersmith, for summonses against the following Noblemen, &c. for not having their chris tian and surnames on their carts, &c. in pursuance of the recent Act of Parliament : his Glace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Viscount Sid mouth, Lord Duncannon, Bishop of Londan, Lady Bankes, Countess of Berkeley, Viscount Cliffderi, Costa; Antonio. To this Mr. Hanson replied—" It is neces sary that those persons should be summoned in their Christian and surnames. I have enclosed the sum monses left with me for that purpose ; when they are returned I will fix the time that may be convenient, giving the parties sufficient notice to appear before me or such other Justices as may be sitting at my house." The following is an extract of a letter, dated Deal, Friday afternoon, half-past four o'clock : " The body of the unfortunate Gentleman who was wa,hed over board from the steam-packet nine days ago, has just been brought ashore by a boat's crew, from one of the men-of-war lying in the Downs : it appears much swollen ; one of the shoes and part of the stockings was washed away—the foot bare; the white trowseis are likewise apparently torn or chafed from the knees, as i$ caused by struggling against some rough substance. The blue coat, and the watch in his fob, with a riband nearly new, but no seals, appeared perfect. His head was nearly bald, and the little hair which I saw was black. It was but a momentary sight, for as soon as he was dragged ashore, Mr. Curling, agent to Lloyd's, with a laudable anxiety, stripped off his coat, covered the corpse, and had him conveyed to the dock-yard upon a truck. Thursday, a seizure of nearly fourteen hundred weight of drugs was made at a country brewery ; the mitigated penalties upon which are expected to amount to more than 40001. The information is supposed to have been laid by some person well acquainted with the premises, as the officers proceeded immediately to the depot of the forbidden articles. Mr. Browne, the Chief Constable of Police, has been removed from Wexford, by order of the Lord Lieute nant, and is not to return to that county. All further proceedings in the case are under the LORD LIRLITE• N ANT'S consideration. Monday, Lorenzo Ckrigetti, a foreigner, who had absconded from Burnley, in Lancashire, with the pro perty of his employer, and for whom a reward was of fered, was apprehended on board the Monarch steam vessel, just as she was about to proceed for Calais, and was lodged in Dover Jail for safe custody, until an of ficer can come from Lancashire. Thursday evening, an Inquest was held at Hounslow, on the body of Robert Balfour. The deceased was driving his waggon through Hounslow on Tuesday, when the horses that were placed outside the Inn-yard for the Sttoudwater coach, becoming alarmed by the sound of the post-boy's whip, started off, and ran down the deceased : the injury he sustained thereby caused his death.—The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict—" That the deceased was accidentally killed by a horse belonging to Mr. Benjamin Robinson, and that the Jury find the horse a deodand, and that the same is of the value of 101." The body of a man was found drowned on Thurs day, at 13ankside, in the Clink Liberty. The neck and one of the legs were broken. The dress was a blue coat, blue trowsers, dark waistcoat, and a white neckerchief. In the pockets were found a few pieces of copper coin, a brass ring, and a card addressed to a hatter in Mid dle•row, Holborn. Saturday, Mr. Robert Tustin, bricklayer, Evesham, went to bed apparently as well as usoal ; his wife waking in the night, thought he seemed cold, and on farther examination found him a corpse ! POPULATION OF THE WORLD. ••-•..1ib..-..- The following calculation has been made of the pre sent population of the world. We believe that if there be any error, it is in the number of Jews, which i> greater than it is here stated to be. When Bonaparte held a grand Sanhedrin in Paris, inlBo7, an estimate was made by the Rabbis themselves, when the number of Israelites scattered throughout the •world was corn puted at between five an.lsis millions. . CENSUS OF Tlllt Wlt )L8 WORLD. Jevil - 4 000,000 Christians - Pagans - . 456,000,000 Total - Tehended, 200,000,000 800,000,000 rhometlans - 140,000,000 Deists and Atheists are eomprehm, but not distinguished in either of these enumerations, as they do not avow themselves by any formation into bodies, but are anomalies in each class. It is worthy of notice, that the must ancient congregation, viz. Pagans, still subs! .t through the globe, and comprise more than one half its general population ; that the second in orel,r of time, viz. Jews, have, since the destruction of their Temple and City in A.D. 70, fallen so nearly to decay as to comprise only a 200th part of the whole; and the third denomination, viz. Christians, now include I.4th part of the whole ; and that the itlahornedans, who sprang up sia centuries after the Christians, and threatened to annihilate them, occupy the space of one-siz.h part of the whole. It is also observ able, that when an estimate of this kind was made about SO years since, it was supposed that the Christians amounted to one•aizth part, and now they have incteased to one-fourth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-11AM. Mr. Ralphe, the butcher of WA!worth, in whose shop a Gentle man complained he had dropped a £5 note, an account of which appeared in the STAR of Thursday last, attended at this Office on Saturday. He stated, that in consequence of the publicity given to the statement in the newspapers, several of his best customers came to his shop, and declared that they wouki not purchase another ounce of meat front him, if he did not produce a receipt from the Gentleman, acknowledging his basing received back the £5. Mr. italphe stated, that he now attended with his wife, whb came for ward to declare positively that she was unable to account bow the £5 note belonging to the Gentleman came into her possession.— Notwithstanding, he said, in consequence of the threats of his cus tomers, he would give the Gentleman £5, upon getting a receipt for that sum.—Mrs.Ralphe said, the £5 note had been given to her, she was confident, by a customer in the way of business. Mr. Axtrar said, if the £5 note was not refunded, be would commit Mr. Ralpbe for trial. Mr. Ralph. immediately put down the £5, and requested to have a receipt, or he said he should lose all his custom.—Mr. Au.as took occasion to remark on the very important benefits produced by the exposure of cases heard before Magistrates, and considered the above case one of the description. lIIARLBOROUGH-STREET. The unconquerable Mary Ann Pearce, alias Lndy Barryasors, was brought to this Office, for about the twenty-fifth time within the last twelve months, on Thursday evening, at the sitting of the Ma gistrate. It seems she had lain in the watch-house since nine o'clock the evening before, to become qualified, by sobriety, to make her I appearance. Sir G. Ausgason happened, upon this occasion to pre side for the regular Magistrate, and on hearing the complaint apint Mary Ann, whose perfect history be was ant in possession of, or whose character he did not seem exactly to understand, after reading her a long moral lecture on the impropriety of her conduct, directed that she should be again taken back to the watch-house' and brought up again the next morning before some Magistrate who knew her better. Upon hearing the order, her Ladyship, who . 'taxi all the while listening to his Worship es calm and demure as ~vestal, with one hand carelessly under her apron, now drew back, and.taking aim at Sir Gaoling's head, let fly at him something which appeared about the size of a 1?-pounder, but which fortunately did no farther damage than discompose a few of his curls, and then, striking the wall, rebounded back again to its mistress. Upon exa mining the piece of ammunition, it was found to consist of her Ladyship's under-petticoat, rolled into a hard ball, and bound with a handkerchief, which preparatory process no doubt it had under gone at the watch-house. This salute astonished Sir Groamt not a bit more than the recognition of his person by her Ladyship, who now addressed him in a most unceremonious style, and concluded by reminding him, that if he kept his carriage and livery servants now, she also did the same at one time. _ _ After the usual plunging and kicking fit that accompanies the attempt to confine her Ladyship's person, she was taken to the watch-house for the night, and the next morning brougift before Mr. Roz, the Magistrate, who, when he saw Mary Ann at the bar, exprtused his surprise, having himself committed her about a week before, and saying that surely he must have done so fot more than seven days, and asked her how she got out ? " Why out of the door," said she," to be sure; do you suppose I climbed over the wall?" Mr. Roe asked her no more questions, but inquired what was the charge against her now ? Bartlett, one of the beadles of St. Giles's parish said, that about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening he was passing through Drury lane and saw Miss Mary Ann blind drunk, dancing and prancing in the mud, in the middle of the street, with about 110 persons round her. He attempted to take her into custody, but she struck him right in the centre of the forehead and dropped him as if he were shot ; two other constables came up, and she floored them likewise ; and her band being now in she knocked down every man, iwoman, and child that came in her way, and it was only by turn ing out the whole posse contitatur of Drury-lane, and by tying her hands and feet, that she was secured, and carried body and bones to the watch-house. Mr.Rox said that he really did not know what to do with her. The beadle entreated that she might be confined for life, as she swore she would annihilate him when she got out, and also declared that she would exterminate Sir George Alderson. Air. Rol said, it was quite useless to address any admonition to her ; she must find bail. " Where the bell am I to find bail," said Mary Ann, " unless I send to the Duke of York, or the Bishop of London? and I don't like to do that ;" and suddenly dropping the subject of bail, she aimed a terrific blow at Bartlett, the beadle, which, luckily for him, fell short, but reached the mouth of a man who was on other business at the Office, and nearly deprived him of all future power of mastication. Determined to avenge all her wrongs at once, she next turned round and directed her battery against a Reporter, whose business in the Office she could not possibly have known, had not some person very improperly pointed him out to her no tice, and after accusing him, not in the must gentle terms, of ex posing all her little foibles in the newspapers, she levelled a blow at him, which, head it reached him, would have put hint past re porting for some time. The Magistrate now ordered her to be taken out of the Office, but who was to approach her first, was the question ? It was Bart lett's duty, but destruction stared him In the face if he attempted it. After an awful pause, hostever, it was joyfully announoed that her Ladyship was inclined to treat upon reasonable terms, namely, that if a wide space were left clear for her to march out of the Of fice without any one presuming to approach her, she would quietly walk after Marsden, the jailer, to the lock-up room. These terms were gladly accepted, and her Ladyship fulfilled her engagement to the letter. GUILDHALL. a/ESE-STEALING —Saturday, Ames Robinson, who had been re manded on a charge of horse-stealing, was again brought up. The officer by whom the prisoner had been taken into custody, stated, that be had heard bim offer a bode in Smithiield.market for £lO which was apparently worth £3O, which caused the witness to in quire of him how he came by the horse? The prisoner said, he would bring him to his master, who gave him the horse to sell, and took him to a public-house fur that purpose, but instead of produc ing the owner of the horse, he attempted to run away; he had since stated, that the horse bad been given him to sell by a person whom he did not know, who promised him half a guinea fir 4 his trouble ; and althou l ih the prisoner bad been a week in custody, he had not yet given any better account of himself, nor produced any one to speak to his character. The prisoner, who is a young man, and has much the appear. ance of a groom, when asked to give some account of himself, re mained quite silent. The Alderman (Sir CHARI.►s I:sowEnl said there could he no doubt the horse was stolen ; and under all the cireu,risr.inces of the case, he considered himself bound to detain the prisoner another week in custody, to give time for further inquiry. lIATTON-GARDEN. Harry Breeze, a portly carbuncled carpenter, was charged by Mr. Dicker, landlord of the Red Lion, St. John's-street-road, with as sault and battery. It appeared that " Mine Host" had beep obliged to have recourse to the Court of Conscience ,for the recovery of a heavy wet and blue ruin bill to the amount of 17s. and a frac tion. This procedure so incensed the Knight of the Augur, that he came on Thursday evening with summons in hand, pushed himself into the bar, and exclaimed, " What does this here paper mean, you bid ?" and, sans ceresnanie, knuckled his cranium. Ile next laid " violent hands" upon Blrs. Dicker and her daughter, and the result was, that he found a snug ream in the watch-house, bat, was afterwards liberated on the *murky of Mr. Whittaker, a pastrycook in I.loyd's-row ; who, on the same evening, had a dreadful rencontre with Read, the officer, because he prevented /us wife 'looming away. William Merrill, the waiter, proved the assault, and Mr. Breeze was caUeil on for his defence : a Your llonour, its all false, falbe false ; all w tng." Mr. Rocess, the Magistrate, seemed to think it right, and or dered the accused to find bail. CHARGE or Assort.—Saturday, Mavy Pickering, who resides in Castle- treat, Saftion-hill, was brought up, charged with stttin d Let house on hre, under tather singular circumstances. 1111Iliam Denna swore, that on Friday night, about half.p, s; ttst ti cock, he was attracted by the cries of " fire" from the p.,sAca gers, and on going to the house, not finding any pevon prepared to open the door, be fat it bis duty. seeing the urgency af the east, to have the door broke open. On entering. the house with ti.e watchmen, he found it quite deserted, and the parlour in a .444. of conflagration. lkds, mattresses, and a variety of other ;:rtickc were mod deliberately placed in a situation which exim s , d t h„ t to destruction. A respectable woman in the ne:uhbourhood deposed, teat n n th , prisoner, Pickering, leaving her house, with a woman named Th ot i t . son, they looked through the crevices of the window-shot,.,es, any they both exclaimed, 1 . les all right, it's as safe as can ht." net a few days ago, Mrs. Pickering insured her house and furnitur e fot £2OO, at the Flicenit Insurance Fire Office. She was reiii.uat e d until the fire offices head tn prove her itiutitiry. Thursday, siz publicans appeared at the Whir Hair, Brentwood, to answer to several informations laid a:;ainst them by two common informers, for selling beer and liquors in earthenware mugs and glasses, coil, trary to the Statute. Tile mobility of Brentwood, to the number of from 250 to 300, understanding that these men were to appear, prepared rotten eggs, pails of filth, &c. &c. to greet them with, and they were so en. raged against them, that after insulting them for three or four hours by the most opprobrious epithets, they took them away from the constables, and, although they beg:z,ed for mercy, the mob were inextrable; they threw them into a filthy black ditch at the back of the White Hart, and then pushed them into tubs of water to clean them, and in that state they were conducted before the Magistrates, when the stench was so great, that the Gentlemen were several times obliged to leave the room. After the business, the informers were afraid to leave the town, and a!thcugh the tlagiattates read the Riot Act, the mob would not dispel e, as they were determined to give the informers another ducking. After a tong time, the Magistrate's, with a posse of constable., conducted the informers through the town to the Fleecc, Brook -street, where they locked them in a room ; bre: while the constables went to get some refreshment, se veral persons got in at the windows, and dragged the informers out, when, not thinking them sufficiently clean, they took the' liberty of s ashing them again, by drawing each of them through a pond three times. The constables could not leave them till late at night, when they took them a mile on the road and returned. They had not got through Romford before the uatchmin took them np: Sunday night, the 22d instant, It. Cotter, tenant to S. French, Esq. was murdered, under circumstances the most lamentable. It appears that five men, all rela tions, had assembled at a public-house in the vicinage of Cove of Cot k, where they continued till twelve o'cicck, when the deceased separated from the company and went home. It was observed•by one of the party that he had a bottle of whiskey in one of his coat-pockets, which circumstance •was made a pretence to visit him; accordingly they went, and having rapped at the door, demanded that the whiskey should be ►hared, but this was peremptorily refused, on which they hur'.t in the door, pulled the unfortunate man out on the road, and in the most savage manner dashed large stones on his head, and jumped on his belly, until his bowels were forced out, and he was thee thrown into a ditch. The ruffians who committed this barbarous act absconded, but a person named Toostrey, one of the party, has sur rendered, and afforded such info! mation to the Magi strates, who sat on Monday at Cove, to investigate the transaction, as will, no doubt, lead to the discovery of the other three. THE CLASSICE...--A. Gentleman going down to East Grinstead, sat a short time cheek brims I on the box, with one of those worthies, a knowing coachman, whom he found (as he at first thought) not nselely well, brit classically educated, from the frequent use he made in his discourse of Latin quotations, probably got by rote. After a deal of conversation, the Gentleman inquire.! of him if he were well acquainted with Virgil in the ori ginal ? Virgil ! Original I (says he) there . is but one coach called the Original runs this road, and Bill I)ralce drives that !" The Gentleman's laughter and sal prize lasted until they seached a change of horses, where John immediately applied to the ostler, " I say, Dick, do you know what coach Virgil drives?' " Virgil—Virgil (cries Dick, scratching his head) I only knows one of the name, and he keeps an Lonmoner's shop oppo site St. George's Church in the Borough.' —Literary (Aram. A Gentleman, hearing of the death of another—" I thought," said he, to a person in company, " you told me that fever was gone or?'—" Oh yes, re plied the latter, " I did so, but forgot to mention that he was gore off along with it r. Some time ago, as a Ludy of the Fortescue who possessed great personal charms, was walking along a narrow lane, she perceived just behind her hawker of earthenware driving an ass with two pAnniess laden with his stock in trade. To give the animal and his master room to pass, the Lady suddenly started aside, which so fi ightened the poor animal that he ran away, but bad not proceeded far when he unfortunately fell, and a great part of the crockery was broken to pieces. The Lady in her turn became alarmed, lest, when she came up to the man, he should load her with abuse, if not offer to insult her; but, to her surprise, when she arrived at the spot, the man, with great good humour, gallantry, and wit, exclaimed—" Never mind, Madam, &sham's ass was frightened by an angel !" O'Neil, who fought the other day with young Burn, after leaving his chum, Langan, at Salisbury Races, attended Southampton in company with Goulding, who calls himself the Bristol Vomit ; thence they went to Winchester, and on Friday O'Neil wai ca:l - mined to the City prison (Winched:a) to take his trial for robtnn; an old Irkh labourer, who had been at harvest work in that Leig:t bourhood, of a sovereign, while in a public-house.
