- BY WILLIAM KNOX. Time speeds away—sway—away; Another hour—another day— Another month—another year— Drop from us like the leaflet sear ; Drop like the life-blood from our hearts;' The rose-bloom from the cheek departs ; Thu tresses from the temples fall; The eyes grow dim and strange to all Tied speeds away--away—.4way ; Like torrent in a stormy day ; lie undermines the stately tower, Uproots the trees, and snaps the flower; And sweeps from our distracted breast The friends that loved, the friends that blest; And leaves u weeping on the shore, To which they can return no more! Time speeds away--away--away; No eagle through the skies of day, No wind along the hills can flee So swiftly or so smooth as he, Like fiery steed—from stage to stage Be bears us on—from Youth to Age; Then plunges in the fearful sea Of fathomless Eternity ! EAST INDIA PAPERS. BOMBAY.—SUPREME COURT, JUL't 30,1824. The Court having met at the usual hour, proceeded with the trial of Lieutenant George Richard Stoven Fenwick, of the 2d Battalion Ist Regiment Bombay Native Infantry, charged with the murder of a Bheel Chief, at a place called Looner Warrah, on the 22d of January, 1823, by causing him to be hanged by the neck until he died. The circumstances which appeared in evidence on this trial are to the following effect: Lieutenant T. R. Billamore, being called and sworn, stated, that he is Adjutant of the 2d Battalion of the Ist Regiment Native Infantry, now at Rajcote t that he is well acquainted with the hand-writing of Lieutenant Fenwick; and that the letter* now shewn him is the handwriting of Lieutenant Fenwick, and is addressed to the deponent ; that he forwarded it to Captain Morin, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion ; and that in consequence of the receipt of the said letter, be a ent, by order of Captain Morin, and Vic Lieutenant Feawick under arrest. Shaik Abdulla, having been sworn, deposed, that he is a Subadar in the 2d battalion of the Ist Regiment Native Infantry, and was employed on a detachment under Lieutenant Fenwick, the prisoner at the bar; that the detachment consisted Qf eighty Sepoys, one Su badar (deponent), one Jemadar, five Havildars, and five Naiques, with several troops of the Guicowar's cavalry; that about fourteen months ago, whilst stationed at Looner Warrah, the above detachment, with twelve of the cavalry, was ordered out by Lieutenant Fenwick to fight the Blieels (or thieves), in the neighbourhood ; that about 11 o'clock at night they got re.rdy, and marched about six coss towards a place called Sumaria ; about four o'clock, when within a coss of the said place, they halted ; at day-break they, by order of Lieut. Fenwick, attacked the village of Sumer ia. The fight continued till it was clear day-light, and all the Bheels found in the village were killed, and their houses set on fire. After the fight, Lieutenant Fenwick told deponent that he bad made two Bheels prisoners, and that one had wounded a seecry in the band, and was a very savage fellow. The detachment remained at Somalia till about ten o'clock, and then marched for their lines at Looner Warrah. When nearly half-way back, Lieut. Fenwick, with the cavalry, proceeded on before them, and left the detachment under command of the depo nent to follow with the two Bheel prisoners. On the road they met the Rajah of Looner Warrah, who said to the deponent that many. English. Officers had come there, but none had done such good service as Lieut. Fenwick, and pointing out one of the Bheels, said, that was a burra huramzadu, that he had about 400 Bheels at his command, and that if he, the Rajah, bad caught him he would have killed him immediately. About two o'clock they reached their lines at Looner Warrah, and after dismissing the detachment, and placing the prisoners in the quarter guard, the deponent reported the same to Lieut. Feuwick, at the same time telling him what the Rajah had said. Lieutenant Fenwick replied, "Itisof no consequence, go to your dinner." About seven in the evening, having been sent for by Lieutenant Fenwick, lie went to him, in company with his orderly, and found him near a mowrah tree, with some dooley bearers, and one of the prisoners who had been taken in the morning. Deponent made a salam to Lieutenant Feawick, who. said, Subadar, lam going to make a little tumashu (sight)." The deponent asked what tu mashu Lieutenant Fenwick replied, "I am going to, hang the Bheel." 'the deponent, speaking in a low tone to Lieutenant Fenwick, said, "Sir, according to the rules of the English Government, when they give orders from Europe, then the man should be hanged; this is not proper." Lieutenant Fenwick said, " Never mind." At this time some of the dooley bearers were on the tree, and a dooley having been brought, the prisoner was placed on it, and the rope was put round his neck, but not properly, and the prisoner was al tried, and began to shake. Lieutenant Fenwick was Agry, and desired the deppnent to see to it. Deponent did so, and put the knot under the Bheel's ear, the other end having been before fastened to a branch of the tree: Lieute- mant Fenwick then ordered the dooley to be taken away, and the Bheel WAS left hanging, and the deponent im mediately went to his quarters. The name of the man who was thus hanged was Etcha Puggee, he was the rated of the village of Sumai ia, and commanded about 400 Bheels, and was a notorious thief and robber. Isree Sing, Naique, being called, corroborated the above evidence. Lieutenant-Colonel Ballantyne having been called, stated, pat he is Political Agent to the Bombay Go vernment in the Myhee Caunta, and is under the orders of the Resident at Baroda. Has been at Looner Warrah ; the country round belongs to the Rajah of Looner Warrah, who pays tribute to the Guicowar, and also Scindia. The Rajah is a Sovereign Prince, with power of life and death in his own territories. The force under Lieutenant Fenwick was part of the Guicowar's subsidiary force, and under the orders of the Resident ; they were Company's . troops. There was an alliance between the Guicowar and the Bombay Government— a written treaty ; he had seen it. There was no written treaty between the Rajah of Looner Warrah and the Bombay Government. The Rajah was tributary to the Guicowar; and the British Government guaranteed the fa/Ewa of the treaties with the Guicowar, by the tri- Ir ..,. eV 'if"- '— • `...„, s ~" , .a ••• . butary States, to pay certain quotas of revenue or tri-1 bute. He had made communications from the Bombay Government to the Rajah of Looner Warrah, through the Resident at Baroda, and vice versa,; and the results of these communications bad been acted on by both ' Gower nments. At the close of Colonel Sallantyne's evidence, Mr. Lawn; submitted th at there was no evidence to prove the alleged murder to have been committed in the ter ritory of a native Prince in India, in alliance with the Bombay Government, sufficient to prove ,the jurisdic tion of the Court. Mr. ADVOCATE.GI?4ERAL was heard in answer, and quoted 26 Geo. 111. cap. 57, sec. 29, which be con tended was unrepealed either expressly or impliedly, and which gave the Courts of Oyer and Terminer in India jurisdiction over British subjects in India, for. crimes committed within the Company's limits. After hearing Mr. IRwIN in reply, the Court reserved the point, and directed the trial to proceed. Munsa Pursad, Sepoy of the 2d Battalion Ist Regi ment Native Infantry, deposed, that he was orderly to Lieutenant Fenwick, at Boone► Warrah, on the day when'a Bheel was hanged ; that he was desired by Lieutenant Fenwick to call to him the Muccadum of the dooley bearers, and in presence of deponent ordered the Muccadum to bring to a mowrah tree, about 100 paces from the lines, four dooley bearers, with a dooley and a rape: Lieutenant Fenwick also ordered deponent to bring the two Bheel prisoners under the mow•rah tree,-which he did, He corroborated the testimony of IShaik Abdulla, the Subadar, as to the hanging of one of these Bheels, with the exception that he, the deponent, did not hear the order given for removing the clooley. Jugga Gogul proved, that by Lieutenant Fenwick's orders, he cut down the body of the Bheel, and threw it into the river, about au hour after it was hanged. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing np, recapitulated the leading points in the evidence, and directed the Jury particularly to the difference between the eating the life of an enemy in the heat of battle, and the act of destroying it in cool blodd ; that in this case twelve hours had elapsed, from the capture of the two Bheels to the time that Lieutenant Fenwick gave orders to hang one of the prisoners ; that this must be admitted to be a sufficient time for any man to become cool ; and if the Jury were satisfied with the truth of the evidence that had been adduced, there could be no doubt that Lieutenant Fenwick is guilty of the crime of murder. That the question of the jurisdiction of The Court was one which did not rest with the Jury; although the prisoner at the bar would have the advantage of any objection on that head which might be hereafter urged, in arrest of judgment. The Jury retired, and after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty; accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy, on account of the inexperi ence of the prisoner, and the peculiarity of the ci►cum stances under which he was placed. As far as we can learn, no day is yet fixed by the Court for hearing the discussion respecting the jurisdic tion of the Court in Lieutenant Fenwick's cane. • " To Lieutenant and Adjutant T. Billatnoie, 2d battalion Ist or Grenadier Regiment of Native Infantry. " Rajcote, March 23, 1824. " Sta—lt has now become my bard lot to come forward and dis play to the world what I can no longer wish to conceal, if I ever did, and in the hope that a speedy investigation will soon pbt an end to my mental distress. However, before discharging what I allude to, I must beg to express my regret at haling written a letter, dated on or about the 29th of January, 7 . 824, disputing or pretending to dis pute the justice of my brother Officers. The letter in question was written when I was extremely irritated, and I hope will be for given partially, if not wholly. " To come to the point :—when I commandei a detachment at Iponer Warrah. under circumstances I cannot disclose at present, I caused to be hung up a Bheel Chief, named Etcha Puggee, on the 25th of January, 1823. Conscious as I am, that everything to my disadvantage will be laid hold of eagerly in certain quarters, I shall at least have the benefit of having voluntarily come forward to dis close the above ; and knowing as I hope, - too, that a Jury of my country will honourably acquit me, if I am not too confident in my Counsel, I shall not now say anything regarding the treatment have received here t.it is quite enough to drive me to any disclosing. If depriving me of 28 rupees per mensem is any object, I envy riot Their feelings. I request you will lay this letter before the Com manding Officer.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " GEORGE R. FENW ICK, Lieut. 2.1.—15 t." A CHRISTMAS Ox.—Last week, a Christmas ox, whir' weighed above seventy score, was killed at Longpa wish House. The beef was distributed to the poor by Order of Colonel HAWKS!' and RICHARD Luca, Esq. A reward is offered by the Directors of the St. Pa trick Insurance Company, in Dublin, for the apprehen siDn or Captain Thomas Connolly, late master of the sloop Dunmore, of Galway, against whom there are informations, for scuttling and sinking, and disposing of part of her cargo. ANTIQUITIES.—The excavations at Farmars continue to give bitch to the most interesting discoveries. On the Gth there were found several pieces of mosaic work of different shades, some rare antique green serpentine, some large ivory pin. and rollers, a delicately-wrought instrument in ivory, apparently a musical instrument; several wild boars' tusks, one of which is eight inches in length ; and a bronze sing, having two birds well de signed and hollowed in the metal. On the 10th the pavement of an apartment was discovered, which con• sisted of squares of polished marble; and a pretty bronze statue of Mars, five inches in height. The god is represented naked, and wearing a helmet. In his left hand is a sword. His right hand is raised, and seems to hive rested upon a lance, which has not been found. THI CATALONIAN.—A Spanish Journal, a short time since, related the following singular story :—A young woman, the wife of a Catalonian, by whom she was adored, yielded to the passion of a French officer, who had fallen in love with her. Their intercourse lasted several days, and appearances led them to con clude that their intrigue was quite unknown to the hus band. All on a sudden, the wife having fallen seriously ill, a physician was sent for, who declared that such was the nature of the disease that he would not answer for the patient's life. He advised the dying woman to think of saving her soul. A Monk was sent for to hear the unfortunate creature's confession, who acknowledged that sbe had been faithless to her husband. "Your crime is enormous," said the Monk ; " and if lon wish to re concile yourself to GOD, believe me, you must begin first with being reconciled to your husband." Whatever re luctance the young woman felt at making so painful a declaration, she at last was obliged to submit. The Catalonian being admitted into his wife's chamber, she thus humbly addressed him—" My friend, you see be fore you a guilty wretch, who wishes to make a pain ful confession to you. I have broken the conjugal vows ; pray forgive me, for I have deceived you."— " I know it," replied the husband ; ,4 for it was I 'who poisoned your POLICE INTELLIGENCE• 31 A NSION-HOUSE. Convert arrwinnt Two Ports.—The part the LORD Miens has taken with respect to the numerous unfortunate Spanish and Italian refugees, has produced manifestations of gratitude from all. One or two enthusiasts, who might well be expected amongst such a body, have sent laudatory testimonials of rather a comical nature. That given some days since by the Italian Poet Malaspina, upon his Lordship, lauding his virtues to the skies, and representing Jove as conferring the Sovereignty of the City upon him, has already been before the Public. The Poet, who was in suffering, obtained relief, and retired with applause ; but, alas ! bow short-lived is hu man happiness! another has now come forward to bid him defiance and dispute his title to the laurel which he wears. Mr. Angelini, the unfortunate professor of languages, la meek, and poetry, no longer pleads for pity to himself, but in an indignant tone be has denounced Malaspina as not being a true poet, and demands jus tice upon him. Knowing how dreadful and interminable is a war between two poets, it was sought to pacify him, but in vain. lie ac cuses the poet Malaspina of theft, and threatens to punish (in verse) those as accomplices who attempt to shield hint. The following is nearly a literal translation of the Poem which Mr. Angelini has presented to the loan hlavoe, as at once indicating his trim marks, and administering justice to the demerits of another. AN ODE To the exaked, honoured Gooitarr. Lord Mayor of the City of London. Filled with a sacred ire which warms my breast, I come, my Locd,to 'vent Parnassian thefts, midst guilty hostile swords. Should cruel Fate, whose sport I am, not stop sly breath, my expiring Muse shall cry aloud •, Hollo ! Who art thou that at the victorious gates of English Peer, like an impudent humbug, singest with a lyre not thine omit? Such weapons are not for thy puny grasp; leave to others the - glorious task of lauding on golden harps him who upholds the sn ored balance. Lo! I throw off the youthful laurel ; I pass in silence under the dark caverns of time, and emerging I behold him seated in the Re man Forum. I see him explore, with mind acute, the indigested heap of laws ; and taking from I-tome's Tutelary Genius the mighty compasses, Fix them on the margin of the Thames, and there display wis. dom which rivals will in-vain attempt to emulate. There evil spirits bow down around him like the damned before the King of the gloomy gates. Behold him serenely grave; whether speaking, adjudging, or ad monishing, wisdom guides kins, and virtue alone fears him not. He regards each part, and watches over all like the light which sheds its benign influence over both hemispheres. 0, were I not the victim of the Powers above ! Could I hope by his wish to soften the inexorable fates. Jove does not always wield the forked lightning; the thunder peals not ever through the vaulted sky. -The wretched slave sometimes sustains without sinking the shower of blows his tyrant bestows. Father! Sire ! May your pity melllify the stern decrees of fate ! May your goodness be such that I may have none but myself to inculpate ! March not to the judgment-seat amidst grim-visaged Marshal men ! Brandish-not aloft the awe-inspiring mace ! Stretch out your arms' to the Genius of Peace, and lend your power supreme to heal misfortune's wounds. Let the sword of justice impend over the guilty alone. Pardon and pity repentant error, and let clemency temper severity. But already fame proclaims your acts to distant lands, and the lyre drops from my enfeebled hands. Otie.rs will relate to future ages your glorious deeds in far loftier strains than those, either Theban or Lesbian, uttered by a hapless Bard, immersed in suffering and sorrow. In testimony of profound esteem, EDMUND ANGF.LINI. • In allusion probably to the authori offer to be hanged for Mr. Fauntleroy. f The Italian who presented to the Lord Mayor a Sonnet, as serting that he had composed it, was wrong. The Sonnet was by the celebrated Frugoni, Poet at the Court of the Duke of Parma, Infant of Spain—(Note of the Author). —Singular that a Sonnet to the present Lord Mayor should be composed by the Poet to the Duke of Parma! BOW-STREET. Friday evening, Frederick Webb, a young man very genteelly dressed, and of remarkat.ly prepossessing appearance. but who is known to the police as a reputed thief, and Timms Stevens, a hack ney-coachman, who has also been several times in custody at this office, were brought up in the esstodtof Nicholls and Upson, of this establishment, charged with being abroad with implements of housebreaking in their possession, with intent to commit felony. Mr. Hams commended the vigilance of the officers, who, he said,there could be no doubt, had prevented the commission of a burglary. There was quite sufficient to send the prisouers at once to the Sessions; but there' was one reason why he should not do so —he hoped by another day to have two added to their number. a The prisoners were remanded till a future day. :MARY-LA-BONNE. RtMARRAILI CACC.—A few days ago an inquiry took place be fore Mr. RAWLIMON, the Magistrate of Mary-la-bonne Police-cdfice, which excited more than ordinary interest, not only from the re pectability of the parties implicated, but also from the nature of the transaction itself. The par:ies who appeared before the lilagistrato were Mr. Duperon ; Mrs. Salens, the sister of Mr. Duperon's wife, who resides in part of the same house ; and a Mr. Leighton who resides in the country. Mr. Leighton, who was very much dist ressed, stated that be applied to the Magistrate for his numane assistance to recover a girl of the name of Fanny Clarke, who had been se duced away from her home, and was now kept concealed from her relatives and friends. Mr. RAWLIMON requested Mr. Leighton to state who the girl was, and what ;were the grounds of his suspicions. Mr. Leighton.—The child, Fanny Clarke, for she Is only be tween sixteen and seventeen years of age, was the daughter of a servant who lived for many years in my father's family, and whom we much respected. She is now an orphan, and since her parent's death has lived as servant with Mrs. Salens. She is a very late resting.girl, and her friends, knowing the arts used to draw females, especially if they are attractive, into vicious habits, had repeatedly cautioned herkto be upon her guard against temptations. About six wgeks ago he was informed that she was missing from the houseof Mrs. Salens, and he came to town and made every en quiry, for e'o purpose of ascertaining the cause of her leaving, and the place she had gone to ; and the result was, that be bad strong suspicions that Mr. Duperon had seduced her away from her nib• tress, and was now keeping her in some secluded place. Mrs. Salens said, that about six weeks ago, on a Sunday, silt sent the girl to Mary-la-bonne New Church in the evening, ant sho came home rather later thin usual. She asked the *let had detained her ? and her reply was, that the ch urck MIMI on crowded, she was a long time before Ate could get our. Wham having been detained a long time herself at the church when sloe bad attended the Sunday evening If:muses, gave credit to her story. She told the girl that she should want her on the following ( Mosley) morning, to go for some brushes to a shop in Beaumont-street. On the following morning the girl accordingly went, and at the time she left the house she was attired in her best clothes, and she had never been heard of from that time to the present. Mr. Leighton.—My suspicions against Mr. Duperon arise from the circumstance of his having attempted to seduce her. Mr. Duperon.—l am ready to make oath that I do not know where she is, nor was I any way a party to her leaving ter mistress. Mr. Leighton.—Mrs. Salens admitted to me that you had en tered the girl's chamber. Mr. Duperon.—l did enter her room, but I did net even moss the room • I did not go to her bed. Mr. lawznisox.—You had no business in her room, and your conduct was highly reprehensible. Mr. Lelgbton.—The consequence of the girl's sodomise (for I feel confident Mr. Duperon knows where she is concealed) will be the death of a sister of the poor girl. Mr. Itawzorsow.—l lament as much as you do, Mr. Leighton, such a circumstance, and your conduct in this affair is highly ho. nourable to you. Mr. Leighton.—The day the girl left her mistress, she silt letter to her sister, who was then in a wealrstate of health. - Vl* following is a copy : " Dias Sezza--I sincerely hope yes are better in health than when I last beard from you. I hope you will make yourself a comfortable as you can; but you will Dever see me any more.— Give my love to my brother.—Your affectionate sister, " FANNY CLARKE." Mr. RAWLIMOW said, that be felt every inclination to lend his assistance in discovering the poor girl; but there was nothing be yond suspicion against Mr. Deperon, and he must therefore dis charge the case. Mr. Duperon spin protested that the charge was without foundation: UNION-HALL. Frisky last, au eldprly man of respectable appearance, named Asink*orls• was repramalted as baying been formerly an 011icer is his Majesty 4 s service, was beanie lip oil a *admit Aaro n with having committed a fraud. The following evidence was given against him by Captain Gray, a veteran O fficer on the retired list of the 77th Regim ent o f F o n: The complainant stated, that being rendered incapable, in eon* . quence of bodily infirmities, of catrying on a correspondence with the Horse Guarcls and the Secretary at War's Office. relative to the grant of a further remuneration in consideration of his past set. vices and bodily afflictions, he employed the prisoner, knowing hiu to have been an old Officer in the Army, for the purpose of cop y . ing out memorials and petitions addressed to the heads of th e d e . partnients alluded to. The prisoner continued to perform t h e duties for some length of time, the Captain from time to time ad. omen's him sums of money, which he considered as a fair an d adequate centmensation for the trouble he was at. A few m onth , ago the prisoner came to him one morning-, and said, 1, Captain Gray, if you will let me have your acceptance for £lO at three meths, you will much oblige me, and I shall have the bill born e; dktely discounted by a friend of mine, who holds a high situation is sae of the public offices." The Captain assented to the reques t; accordingly a bill was drawn for the above sum, accepted b. witness, and given to the prisoner, who punctually prdniihed to ti;.: witness have the money in the course pf a day or two at lather, After the prisoner was gene, the C a ptain bad the curiosity to e l mine the Red Book, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the in. dividual who the prisoner' had stated would discount the bhl seas mentioned therein, when he discovered that no such name apvearLd in the volume s The prisoner, after the above circumstance, kept entirely away from the Captain's residence, and he neither heard of the prisoner nor the bill until a few days ago, when he was arrested for the amount of the latter. The Captain added, that in cop e . spience of the fraudulent manner in which his acceptance had hem obtained, he had the prisoner apprehended. The Magistrate now directed the prisoner to state what he had to offer in justification of the transaction. The prisoner pulled out a bundle of papers, some of which eon. gated of copies of petitions, Etc. which he said he bad composed, arranged, written, and afterwards presented at the Horse Guards and Secretary of State's Office, upon the subject of Captain Gray', claims. It was true that Officer had given him his acceptance for .ClO, but then be (the prisoner) considered that it was in payment far his labour of both mind and body, in performing that which the complainant nettled to think he had already rewarded him suffi ciently for. The prisoner admitted that Captain Gray had occa sionally given hiM a few shillings during the progress of the trubi. nen, but net at all proportionate to the fatigues and hardships at tendant upon drawing out lengthy petitions and memorials of every description, addressed to great men, and afterwards he had to per form that, which he declared was not the must pleasant pair of the business--namely, he had to present them. The prisoner that handed the Magistrate his account against the complainant, and amongst a great number of charges, the following appeared " For drawing out a memorial to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, 10s. to writing a letter, 55. to carrying a letter to Bermondsey, 55." The total amount of the bill being upwards of £lO. The Captain, while the prisoner was specifying the various items against him, expressed the utmost astonishment, and declared that he had no conception that he was indebted to the prisoner one far.. thing, considering that he had given him an equivalent fur what he had done. A person in the office here said, that he was in the habit of draw. ing out memorials, and he never charged more than half a crown for each, including those addressed to Royalty itself. The Mantsriums observed, that the conduct of the prisoner, in obtaining the bill in question, was certainly very dit•bonourable, and most of the items in his bill were exorbitant ; for instance, the charge of Ss. for merely carrying a letter to Bermondsey ; these were circumstances, he remarked, which proved that advantage had been taken of the Captain, by the friend upon whom be had a reliance. He (the Magistrate), however, could not proceed in the case, as one of fraud, and therefore the prisoner must be discharged. MIRACULOUS PRES ERVA Geneva, in the State of New York, on the ltd ult. Mr. James Gerry, an Irishman, had descended a well for the pul pos.! of removing some obstructions. The well was til feet deep, and some of the stones in the well near to II a bottom, had been loosened by the washing of quick sands. Having descended between 40 and 50 feet, a; he was standing with one foot in the bucket, and the other resting upon the side of the wall, on a sudden the stones below gave way and closed together, and the whole mass of the walls above sunk don n upon him and buried him beneath the ruins ! It was half past four o'clock when the catastrophe happenedi In 15 minutes a windlass and bucket were procured and put in operation. No less than eighty tons of stone weie !o be draw:) up before relief could be giier.. Few cou cl labour at a time, but they toiled with unabated ardour, and asked Gerry what distance he thought he was down ? He replied, between forty and 50 feet; and said that " he was wedged in all round by the stones." About daylight, they had lowered the mass down even with his head. They found him forty-eight feet below the surface, in an erect position, completely wedged in, as he had said. A large stone, weighing eighty pounds, rested on his head, which was turned a little up, ntrit;ng a considerable gash, though not producing a frac ture in the skull—a stone on each side of his head, pressing like a vice, and one or two smaller ones coverel with blood, about his face—leaving a small aperture for his mouth, so that he could just breathe and speak. His arms were raised in the position in which he held the rope—one foot was in the bucket, and the other, fortunately, was at liberty, so chat he could move it— no other part of his body could _stir ! So tight was he wedged in, that it was necessary to remove the stones down as low as his feet. At a quarter before nine o'clock in the morning, having continued sixteen hours and fifteen minutes in the well, he was drawn up in a crate, and welcomed to this upper world, as one re - cued from the grave—as one arisen from the dead. He is now in a fair way to recover, and will probably, in a few days, by the blessing of GOD, be enabled to resume his usual avocations. ROBERT PALNER.—The late ROBERT PALMER was in the early part of his life a bill sticker, which circum stance was pretty generally known to the performer!: One evening, dressed for Sir Brilliant Fashion, be strutted into the Green-room with sparkling buckles on his shoes and at his knees, and a brilliant ring on his finger. One of the company inquired if they were real? " I wear nothing but diamonds," replied PALMER. " I congratulate you," said JOHN BANNISTER, " for I re member when you wore nothing but paste." This occa sioned a war, which was heightened by Mrs. JORDAN crying out, " slid hint against the wall, Bob—stick hint against the wall."
