That in these cases, a remission of quit rent shall take place for a certain number of years, beyond the average period which is pre scribed in the case of ordinary settlers, according to the following' scale : Officers who have served twenty yeats and upwards, to be ex empted from all quit rent. Officers who have served fifteen years and upwards, but short of twenty years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first twenty years. Officers who have served ten years and upwards, but short of fifteen years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first fifteen years. In other respects the conditions on which the grants are made to be similar to those which are now in operation In New South Wales, with certain modifications, respecting which, the officers, who may be disposed to avail themselves of this arrangement, will receive in formation at the Colonial nt. The O ffi cer, to wham la The shall give some security that -he, or his family, shall reside for at least seven years in the Settlement, and the grant shall not be allowed to be sold by him, until be shall be reported to have expended upon it a capital equal to half its value, as that value was estimated at the time when his grant was made. In the application of this arrangement to the Officers of the Army, the following regulations are to be observed Officer' on fall pay, who have purchased their commissions, or who have served twenty years, are to be permitted to diaries of their comniissions in the usu al manner, at the price fixed by his Majesty's regulations, vin.—Lieutenant Colonel 4,6001.

By eommand of his Royal Highness the Comrnandet.in-Chief, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-GeneraL LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF OF CHANCERY, JimA to. SCOTS CHURCH, SWALLOW-STREET.—LESLIE D. MEM In this case, Mr. SUDDEN moved that his Lordship would rehear the motion as to the injunction, in conse. quence of . the plaintiff having discovered some new evidence material to the question, and that the order pronounced by his Lordship might be discharged. Mr. HORNE, in opposing the motion, said, he thought that 'this was one - of the most extraordinary applications he had ever heard of. He hoped his Lordship would dismiss this motion wi , h costs, as he considered the only reason for the plaintiff coming into Court was, his not liking t 3 pay the costs of the motion as to the injunction. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the evidence he had heard stated by Mr. Sugden, as to the new evidence, appeared to him to leave the question where it was. He could not make the order asked for by dr! plaintiff; and there was nothing left for him to decide, but who should pay the costs of the day ? He was of opinion the present motion. must be dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WzsT3anisras, Joni 20. NUISANCE.--WATSON V. CLEMENT• This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a linen-draper in the Strand, to recover front the defendant, who is the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle news paper, compensation in damages, for injury.sustained by him in consequence of the defendant's baying erected on his premises, adjoining to the plaintiff's house, - a steam engine. Mr. GURNRY, in stating the case for the plaintiff, oh. s:rved, that his client had, in an action of nuisance, tried at the Sittings after Easter Term, 1825, obtained a vet dict of 601. against the defendant, for the nuisance, which was the subject of the present action, but notwith- standing that verdict, the defendant did not think fit to abate the nuisance. The witnesses who were examined upon the former trial were this day called, and they swore that they thought the noise of the steam engine, instead of having been lessened since the last trial, was greater than it ever had been. The LORD Cuter JUSTICE, during the examination of the witnesses for the plaintiff, frequently suggested to the Counsel for the defendant, the propriety et sub nthting tie question to an arbitrator; with power to say if the defendant could not, by alterations, abate the nuisance, that the steam-engine must be removed. The Arroaxer-Gutaaat. haviiig consulted with the Attorney for the defendant, said. that the defendant was willing to refer it to an arbitrator, to say what alterations aught to be made. The Luau CHIEF JUSTICE said, that unless the arbi trator should be invested with authority to say, that in case the alterations should not abate the nuisance, the , engine should be removed, the plaintiff might as well proceed. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He admitted that a verdict must pass for the plaintiff; but he begged leave to remind the Jury, who had viewed the preinises of the defend ant, that the defendant had, at a considerable expense, made alterations, which, notwithstanding the evidence of the witnesses for the plaintiff, had almost done away with the nuisance ; and the defendant was still anxious to make such alterations as engineers should say were nectssary ; but he (defendant) could not, without first trying the effect of those alterations, make such a sacri fice of his property, as to take down the engine. The Jury had viewed the premises, and had seen the engine at work, and they were the best judges of the compen sation to which the plaintiff was entitled for the annoy ance to which he had been exposed since the tnal of the former action. His Lord‘hip summed up, and the Jury having consulted to. !ether for a few militates, foutad a verdict for the plaintiff—Dania" One Hundred Pounds. PARKER V. MORRIS. This action was brought to recover the pride of a quantity of shoes, and some articles of furniture supplied to Mrs. Morrie; the wife of the defendant. It appeared that she lodged a short time in the plaintiff's house, and her distresse slaving been made known to him, and also that she was the wife of the defendant, he was induced to furnish her with the articles which became the subject of this action. It, was proved, that whilst Morris was confined under an arrest in the house of Radcliffe, a Sheriff's officer, Mrs. Morris came with her child, and the defendant said it was his wife and child. He added,' that his father was a man of fortune in Ireland, and would pay all her debts. Mr. SCA RLETT for the defendant, contended that the plaintiff could not recover, on the ground. that. there was reason to believe Mrs. Morris was not married to the defendant. His instructions stated that she wasliving as a servant in the house of the defendant's father at the time she married the defendant. He also understood that she was married to a former husband, at the time Mr. Mortis married her. He had no evidence to show that she was not the wife of the defendant, but the plaintiff was not warranted in supplying her with necessaries. A tradesman might supply a married woman with necessaries, in a clear case of distress and desertion; but if that tradesman found the husband living with another woman, he ought at least to h ore something to substantiate the fact of the alleged mar riage before he gave her credit. When Mrs. Morris stated that she was the wife of the defendant, it did not follow that she was bis lawful wife.—Mr.SCAnt. ETT did not call witnesses. The Loup CHIEF Jusyrcs, in his address to the Jury, said, it WAS clear that she was not living with her hus band; but if a man deserts his wife, and others supply her with necessaries, they have a right to recover a reasonable compensation. If she elopes from him and commits adulteiy, the husband is no - longer obliged to support her; but if without a charge of adultery' o► reasonable cause, a man deserts his wife merely that he may live with another, any person supplying his wife with necessaries may recover. The defendant is said to be the son of a Gentleman of fortune in Ireland, but there is no proof why he should discard his wife. I cannot agree with the Learned Counsel for the defend ant, when he says the plaintiff cannot; in law, recover. I think if a married woman is living deserted by her husband, and she cannot have necessaries and lodging, there is no law to say a person supplying her with lodging and necessaries may not recover from the husband. The statement that she was not his legal wife is a question that neither you, Gentlemen of the Jury,' nor I, can decide in this place. _ The Jury found a verdict Cr the plaintiff—damages £l9 131. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Jima £O. THZ AVISO., Dr. Paturstoas stated the substance of the applica tion- contained in the plea which he now prayed the l Court to admit, to be of the followinehature. In 1824, the Bum sloop of war. Captain Courtenay, was sta tioned on the Cape Coast station, under Commodore Buller, of H.M.S. Maidstone. The Bann, on one occa sion, descried in the offing a suspicious sail, to which she was directed by the Commodore to give chace. Being a heavy sailer herself, the Blum was soon come up with by the Maidstone, and at night the latter out sailed her consort, and overtook and captured a Brazi -1 Ilan vessel called the Aviso, having 400 African slaves on board. Proper measures having been taken for the security of the prize and her slave cargo, the Maidstone put some of her own crew on board, and dispatched her to the nearest mixed Commissimi Court, where she was condemned in the usual form, and the accustomed bounty, per head, on the slaves, decreed to the officers and men of the Maidstone. Captain Courtenay now claimed, to share on the same principle of participation as in prize cases. Dr. LUSHINGTON, on behalf of the Commodore and his sbip's company, objected to this prayer. The analogy attempted to be set up between cases of this kind and those of prizes made by King's ships in time of war, where the presence of another vessel of the same flag as the captor, at however great a distance, might be sup posed to intimidate the enemy, did not apply in the instance of a slave ship, which could not attempt, for a moment, anything like resistance to an armed frigate. Lord Slowas.t. considered this to be a case pamse impressiona, and deferred his judgment. Our Manchester Correspondent, in a letter dated on Monday, states that the silk-dyers are all employed fuU time, and that a condderable quantitt of cotton had arrived; but the wages of the weavers had not been advanced. _ _ __ _ _ A meeting of shipowners was yesterday held in the City, the result of which has been, the appointment of a Committee, consisting of fifteen practical shipowners, to oppose the Repo:t fur the classification of shipping, and the interference in private property ; for this pur pose communication will be held with all the outports in the kingdom. Oa the day of nomination for Members for the city of London, Mr. FAREBROTHER and Mr. WINCHESTER were introduced by Mr. Alderman LUCAS and Mr. Al derman Tuompsow to the Loan MAYOR, as the Gentle. men to be proposed to the Livery for the important office of Sheriffs of Londpn and Sheriff of Middlesex for the ensuing year. Saturday next, being Midsummer-day, a Common Hall will be held for the election. The Urania, Captain KRITH I arrived from Buenos Ayres, on Thursday last, at Falmouth, with a party of i Cornish miners, who have been obliged to return to England, in consequence of the natives having refused to allow them to work the mines. The Old Bailey Sessions commence to morrow. Sunday Geo. Buttner, Daniel Fleming, and Samuel Bell, three sailors, arrived at Newgate in custody of the Marshal of the Admiralty, having been removed by writ of Habeas Corpus from Durham. They are charged with mutiny and revolt on board a merchant vessel at sea, and will take their trial at the Admiralty Sessions which will be held on the Ist of July. Wednesday, at the village of Winchburgh, two young men having gone, without due precaution being used, into an e:npty well, which had not for a considerable time been uncovered, were by the noxious air, almost instantaneously killed. The Irish Spiritual Peers in the next Session of Par liament will be the Archbishop of CAsuaL, and the Bishops of CLocHER, KILLALON, and KILNORE. A pugilistic combat took place on Saturday night week, in a pasture opposite the church 'at Boston, called Josh's pasture, in which one of the combatants, named Richard Goo dwin, of Spalding, (nephew to Mr. Good. win, ship builder, of Boston), received so serious an in. jury as to cause, his death in a few minutes afterwards. The name of his antagonist is James Arnall, blacksmith of Bo.ton, against whom a verdict of Manslaughter was returned by the Cori:leer's Inquest, and he was on 1 Tuesday committed to Lincoln Castle to take his trial at the assizes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, a watchman, named Oetinsfors, was brouglsl before the Loan M*voa, on a charge of having cattiest the death of an Irishman, named Kelly. . • John Ryder, one of the Patrol for . Iloundsditeb, stated. that between twelve and one o'clock on hiOndaj morning; be hestd *of a disturbance near Red Lion Court, and went there. He saw the prisoner bringing along with him a man, who used very bad language, and made a strong resistance. Witness laid hold of him to bring him along. He struck at the prisoner, who returned the attempt by striking the man violently over the shins with a stick. They succeeded at length in getting the man to the watch-house. Witness saw no more than attempts to strike the prisoner ; witness held the man at the time the prisoner beat bins with the stick. Joseph Taylor, the night constable of that distric, deposed, that when the man was brought in, there was a ernes charge between him and the prisoner. The man, who was undoubtedly fratinticited, charged the prisoner with having assaulted him. The prisoner did the same with respect to the man. The man's wife eame-and beggad that her husband might be permitted to go home; for she was sure he had received some severe internal injury, and was very ill. Wit ness looked at the man, who had by this time sunk on the ground, and saw that he had turned pale. Witness permitted him to be taken home. On Monday night the man died. Another officer stated, that the prisoner not only struct at the deceased when he was held by the first witness, but struck at him when lie was down. The account which the prisoner gave of the matter was, that on Monday night, he was called urna to quell a disturbance which had taken place in Red Lion-court. When he went there, he found three irishnien fighting on the ground, the one underneath crying 1 out le murder;' he pulled off the two men wl.o were uppermost, when all three set upon him, and downed him; be got up, when he was attacked and struck by the deceased; he threatened to take the deceased to the watch-house if he struck again; the latter did strike, and he took him into custody; he had been compelled to make use of his stick, in consequence of the violence of the deceased. The Lenin MAYOR said, the evidence at present 'hewed that the prisoner had behaved with great wantonness, not only in striking the deceased whe,n he was down, but in beating him whilst he was secured by another Officer. An Officer herestated, that a Jury had been summoned before the Coroner, to inquire into the case. The Loan MAYOR said, upon this information he should not enter further into the investigation, but would remand the prisoner until the verdict of the Coroner's Jury was given. The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. Ms West, a hackney coachman, was charged with attempting to commit a burglary on the premises of Mr. Moon, a tobacconist, at the corner of Staples Inn Gate, Holborn, about two o'clock on Sunday. It appeared that Carnage, a watchman, having observed the prisoner and a companion try to force open the shop door with some instrument, crossed the street to be ready to pounce upon them when they had effected their purpose. The thieves noticed this movement, and crossed over to the other side,where they were standing in conversation, when the watchman approached them, and seized the prisoner; the other fellow making his escape. The constable of the night searched him slightly, and Anding nothing to strengthen the watchman's suspicion, was just about to dismiss him, but Evans, another watchman, who was dozing upon the floor during the time he was off duty, got up, and renewed the search, when a large crow bar was discovered between his rigs, and two skeleton keys in a side pocket'. Upon examining Mr. Moon's premises, it appeared that the lock had been spoiled in endeavour ing to open it with the skeleton keys, and a pan of the jamb had been chipped away in order to wrench open the door. The prisoner offered no ezpianation of his possession of .these articles, and was committed. BOW-STRZET. EITILAORDIPAILY GAME Or HOSSII432SALUte. Mr. Thomas Cripps, of Brick-lane, Old-areet, St. Lake's, who was remanded on Thursday last, on a suspicion of stealing a bay mare, the pro perty of Mr. John Russell, of Finchley, was yesterday brought up before Sir R 101111) Sturm and Thomas HALLS, Esq. Mr. Har mer's clerk, Mr. Butler, attended for the prisoner, and examined several witnesses, who deposed that the prisoner purchased the mare for a valuable consideration, in a fair and honest manner.— The prisoner was then discharged, upon his giving bail to appear again, should it be found necessary. Monday afternoon, as the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Hams, was about to leave the Reach, a smartly dressed youd) was brought in by two of the keepers of Kensington Gardens, 'barged with an outrage of a very daring description. The person upon whom the outrage was committed, was Mr. Conrad Meyer, a Swiss Gentle man, living in Essez•street, Strand, who was brought to the Office door in a coach, in an almost insensible state, with three deep wounds in his head, which were still bleeding, and his shirt and the rest of Ms apparel saturated with blood. He was lifted into.the Office. and being placed in a chair, he with difficulty stated shortly, that about one o'clock on that day he was sitting on one of the benches in Ken sington Gardens, somewhat drowsy, when without seeing or hear ing any one approach him, be was Suddenly assailed with two tre mendous blows on the bead, which, at the moment, he felt had cut him deeply. He jumped up and screamed " Murder !" and was running away when he received another blow, which brought him to the ground and deprived him of his senses. He saw no one, for he was too much terrified to look behind, and when his senses re. turned, he found himself in the care of the keepers at their lodge. He had no knowledge of prisoner. He lost nothing from his pocket. Two young men, named Stewart and itegaud, cork-cutters, living near the Regent's Park, deposed that they were walking near the lake in the Gardens, when they heard the cry of " Murder !- and saw the prosecutor running, and in a moment after he fell to the ground a at the same dyne they saw the prisoner walking away from the spot where he fell. One of the witnesses went to the assistance of Mr. Meyer, while the other ran towards the prisoner, , who, as soon as he saw himself "pursued. commenced running, but was soon overtaken. When asked what he had done? he said " Nothing." and begged very hard to be let go, but when he found that his.request was not likely to be complied with, he said s' I have done something wrong, but it was want that induced me to do it, and I hope I shall be forgiven, for it was my first crinw."— The prosecutor was conveyed, in an insensible state, to the keepet's ledge, and when the prisoner was taken there and saw him. he fell upon his knees, cried, and begged for pardon. One of the keepers searched the prisoner, and found on him only a bunch of keys and a woman's veil, of very coarse materials. When further ques tioned by the spectators, he admitted that he took part in the attack, and said there was another person concerned. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded, and directions given to the Officers to endeavour to and the person spoken of, who is well known, When he was taken to the lock-up room, Ford, the gaoler, searched him narrowly, and found within his trousers a phosphorus bee matches, some duplicates, ind a small chisel The prosecutor was conveyed home, and a surgeon, who at tended him, reported yesterday that he bad three very severe wounds in the bead, bat that they were not dangerous. Yesterday morning Ford searched in Kensington Gardens, and found in the long grass a heavy bludgeon stained with blood.— The prisoner will be brought up again on Thursday. Mary Anne Pearce, better known as " Lady larrymore," was again yesterday brought before the fitting Magistrate, Sir RSCIPASLD Mania, on the old charge of being found drunk in the streets. She offered no dcfence,.but, as is her custom, Mist likithfullY promised his Worship that, should he overlook this charge, she never again would make ber appearance at this or any other office. Sir nu m.& No desired that she should pay See shffilngs, the pe nalty provirkd by the statute, which her ladyship scot being able to do, she was placed under at:surveillance of Ford, the gaoler, until it ould be forthcoming. Her ladyship only came out of the House of Correction yesterday morning, and was at Hatton Garden office last evening at seven o clock. A Lady, who about six months ago applied to Mr. Ham, to compel Dr. Warburton to restore to her "her dear boy," again addressed his Worship this morning, and stated tint she had just arrived from Ipswich, and would feel greatly obliged by bis Worship giving her a note, addressed to Dr. W. that the young man, who in fact was dying of love for her, might be delivered up to her, as she stated that he had frequently declared that be could not live without her, and it was only to torture and kW ttic "darling' young man that Dr. W. kept him from her, which she considered he bad no right to do, since the young man had fre quently said that be was het's slate. His Worship expressed his sorrow at his inability to render her any assistance ; and the Lady, evincing much reluctance, quitted' the office. M A RL BOROUG H.STREET. Mr. Symms, a surgeon, residing in Bart's Court, Old Brampton. was summoned to answer a charge of fraud, which was preferred by Mr. W. Johnston, a jeweller, residing in Caroline-street, Red ford Square. It appeared that the late Mr. Baldwin, who was Conisil General in Upper Egypt, was possessed of awn* valuable gems, rings, ffgyptian.mmbles, and other antis..., two saws of which he left with Mr. Johnston, to dispose of to the best adwastage ; he was at the time indebted to Air. Johnston is a large sus of gamey. liberty after Mr. Bahlwin's death, Mr. Symons called upo 1. and said it was the intention of the executors-to call upon hint to, ees up the property, and he at the same time offered to take charge of, r. Mr. J. being well acquainted with Mr. Symons, said be had no obio o , Lion to place a portion of the property in his bands. A few days ante. wards Mr. Symons sent to Inform Mr. Johnston, that he had stok es to the Doke of Sussex respecting the gems, and he had expressed & wish to see them; he had therefore prom Lied the Duke that b e should see them the next day. Believing such to be the ease, We, J. said he sent nine rings to Mr. Symms, which were set with aw l! , gems, and were of great value. On the day that Mr. Symons 4 . pointed to see the Duke,he sent his sisters to inform Mr. Johnnwa that he would nut be able to obtain an interview with the Du:, until Sunday morning. This was about a month ago, and he had since repeatedly applied to Mx. Symons for the rings, but without effect, as he mused to give them up, and said, he bad been desired by Mr. Robson, the executor of Mr. Baldwin, to keep them in ko possession. Mr. J. said, that he in consequence, applied to to Duke of Sussex upon this subject, who informed him that he h a d never given any directions respecting the gems, and was neva at. plied to by Mr. Symons upon the subject. Mr. Robson, the executor, said Mr. Johnston had part of his pr o . perry In his possession, which was to he handed over to him; he had not applied for it, as be had been engaged in collecting money front Government, from the East India Company, and other places' Mr. Comore having inquired what bad became of the rings, Symons handed them to the. Magistrate, sad said he was atutious to restore them to the proper panics. ast were therefore giv e s to Air. Robson, with Mr. Johnston's comsat, and the parties left the Office. A Gentleman, who said be was a barrister, and formerly At torney General in one of the West India Islands, was charged wi t h a very serious offence by a woman named Appleby. She is abo ut fifty years of age, and accused the defendant with having haws es ; her down on the steps of a door in Carmarthen street, at them o'clock on Monday evening, and there violated her person. The Gendeman denied the charge, and said that it had been concocted by three women, for the purpose of extorting money from bins while in liquor. It was the height of absurdity to appose that any man would make such an attempt, under such circumstances, in the open street.--Mr. CONANT said, that a Jury must decide spots his guilt or innocence, and ordered him to fi nd hail to answ e r t h e charge, and he was l ocked up till his bail arrived. UNION-HALL. Lydia Ana, a See-looking young woman of about SS years sr age, respectably attired, was yesterday apprehended, and brought before M. SWAIRT, issq. charged on suspicion of having wilfully and maliciously set fire to the premises of Mr. Martin, farmer and cowkeeper, reading at Streatham, between tho hours of twelve and one that morning. The facts, as they have hitherto appeared, are these :-.-About one o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Martin's family were thrown into the utmost consternation by afire, which was fast consuming a barn, stable, and cow-sheds, and which, indeed, threatened destruc tion to the dwelling-house, it being only separated from the farm.. yard a few paces. He and his wife, with a servant man, instantly jumped out of bed, and proceeded to wide the cowa, which were fastened in the sheds. In doing which Mr. Martin was a good deal injured, having received severe burns on the arms and legs, the fire being at the time raging. He, however, fortunately succeeded in cutting the cords by which seventeen cows were fastened, and t►e pose animals escaped, some of them certainly severely burnt. Two cows, which he could not liberate, fell a prey to the devouring dr. meat. The value of the property burnt is estimated at no kola sum than .85011. Yesterday Mr. Martin was not able to attend in consequence of the injurlea he received by the fire, neither was his wife in a con. didon to appear. The only evidence offered was the following: William Brewer, night constable of Brixton watchhouse, said, that having learnt a fire had occurred at Mr. Marti:l l e, he proceeded thither at an early hour that morning, accompanied by William Blythman, another constable, when they found the stable, an. houses, &c. entirely destroyed. The prisoner, who bad bees re. siding as servant to Mr. Martin, bad conducted herself in so extra. ordinary a manner the night preceding the fire, that her master suspected she was implicated in the wicked transaction. ft seems she bad permission from her mistress to go and spend Sunday with a friend, who was that day married; but instead of returning in the evening at 4lnr.r.dy she did not go home until about eight o'clock on Monday night, and then she was in a state of intoxication. Her mistress told her that she should no longer remain under her roof. and thereupon discharged her. The prisoner declared, raising her hand as she spoke—" That her husband should be her uprising or her downfaL ' .No notice was taken of this ambiguous observation until after the fire. whenft caused suspicion :0 attach to her. Mr. Martin then mentioned his suspicion, and sent the 6x:stables in search of her, who, after considerable difficulty, discovered her at a house in Kent-street. When they apprehended her, she said that she was just about setting art foe the country. The Magistrate cautioned her against saying anything, as she seemed desirous of explaining where she spent the night before, telling her that the charge, if privedorould affect her life; and as it was his duty to remand bet fee another examination, he begged she would apprise her friends of her situation. The prisoner declared most solemnly that she was innocent of the charge. She then proteeded to state, that she was at a public-house near St. George's Church, Southwark, kept by Mr. Martin's brother, between 11 and 12 o'clock on the preceding night. She was much agitated, and cried on being removed by the gaoler. The bottom of a candlestick was found among the ruins of the buildings, and the constable anticipates something important may be disclosed respetting it by the next examination. SUDDEN DEATH 01 MR. ALDERMAN Col.—••Thif mee lancholy event took place yesterday afternoon, at his residence in Hart-street, Bloomsbury. The Alderm=en. who for some time put enjoyed a good state of ht-alth, proceeded from his house about two o'clock to his offices in Manchester-buildings, from which place he returned in the course of an hour and a half. Upon his entering the house he complained of a pain in his chest, amt observed that he would lie down, but in a few minutes afterwards his chamber bell rang violently, when, on his attendants entering the room, they discovered the Alderman apparently in a fit; medical aid was instantly resorted to, and Mr. Ireland, surgeon, of Hart-street, attended, and attempted to bleed Mr. Cos, when, after 'several ineffectual attempts, a small portion of blood was procured, but which was of no avail, as he died in a few minutes after apparently with consideraqe pain. —The immediate cause of the death was apoplexy, but from what causes the attack originated we were not Azle to learn. The deceased was elected Alderman of the ward of Aldersgate-street in the year 1812. George Gregory, Bs+ a very mild and humane country gentleman, residing at his mansion on the road from. Ashford to Willesbotough, haying recently re ceived an anonymous letter, couched in the most violent language, stating that he would be mur dered, if he did not, en an evening named by the writer, fill a purse with sorereigns that was placed empty the day before by the writer, in a hole in the earth, at one side of the gates leading to his shrubbery, a friend suggested to Mr. Gregory t 3 deposit in the purse half-pence (instead of what was demanded by his anonymous correspondent),and to place a person to watch on the occasion, which was accordingly done; at about eleven o'clock on Monday, 12th of June, a fellow named Joe Finn, of Willesborough, a labourer, came and took the purse fiom its depository, ind im mediately was taken into custody by the watchman; when, on being examined before the Magistrates 31 Ashford, satisfactory evidence was produced to warrant the commitment of Finn, and his accomplice Ali.. Bennett, to take their trial for the offence, at the net' assizes at Maidstone.—Cinque Ports Herald. DIED.
