If the widow of the late Lord, it is more re prehensible, as she was married just in his dying moments to rob his heirs of rank and fortune. This list closes the pensions previous to the accession of the present King, and the public will perceive bow even the smallest sums are grasped at. Will not the Earl of WM ton, if this list meets his eye, and he, has nerve to run it through, learn how the nobility no longer possess the attachment of the people ?

E.—June 29, 1830 - ; 400 Far nobler would it have been had his Parliamentary pa. trots, the Duke of Devonshire, with his princely fortune, .; charged himself to supply the comforts of this lady's de. clining days, or his noble political friends should have met him, and assistance might have been obtained from the rich banker, her relative. It is disgraceful that the public should have thrown on their industry, the charge of the widows of public men, however meritorious, but who leave their families distressed, because they have lived too expensive in their life. Dame Mary Rae. R.—November 20, 1830 . . 660 This is an appointment made ghee the Duke of' Wel lington dismissed himself from office. This lady is the wife of the late Lord Advocate for Scotland,-_ an official legal situation, resembling our Attorney. General as public prosecutor. The only pretext for such a pension is, that this gentleman has lost his practice, that he gave up the office of Sheriff-Depute, worth some six hundred a year, and that as a seat in Par. liament is held essential for the office, he has been put to considerable expense in procuring it. A pity may be felt for the lady, but is the public deserving of no compassion ? It is well known that Sir Wm. Rae, as an Advocate, had little or no practice in his profession : that he was named Lord Advocate for his political willingness—that no talent was to be found on hie side of servility. Let Dame Rae die before him, and is he then to have a pension ? Let him have the Sheriff Deputeship that falls vacant, and let Dame Rae be provided for as other dames are whose husbands do not sell themselves to Ministers. Lady Elibank.

COURT OF COMMISSIONERS OP BANKRUPTS, BASINGOALL-STREET. REM I NGTO N, STEPH EN SO IT!, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. On Friday a meeting of the creditors under the commission issued against the above banking firm, was held at Bank rupts' Hall, Basinghall-street, for the purpose of declaring a dividend, admission of debt, proofs, &c. The proof of debts occupied much time, and in the whole they amounted to 31,1001. The total of the debts proved previously was 477,7561. on the joint estate; making a grand total, up to Friday, of 508,6961. 7s. Bd. Among the proofs on that day was one for 15,0001. and one for 13,0001. The lowest slim was 21. 78. Bd. The subject of a dividend was next considered. The first dividend was 7s. in the pound ; and the second, declared a year ago, was Is. Bd. in the pound. After the accounts had been looked over, it was found that the assets would not af ford a dividend of more than 10d. in the pound, a sum being reserved to meet the expenses of the law proceedings which have been commenced in this affair. The amount of the di vidend of 10d. in the pound will be 21,1961. A dividend of 10d. was then agreed to by the Commissioners, making in all 9s. 6d. in the pound declared up to the present time. It is expected that the estate will yield about l Is. or 11s. 6d. in the pound. Nothing has come officially to the Commissioners respect ing the fugitive Stephenson, as to his intentions. The last private accounts, it is said, left him in possession, appa rently, of much property. IN THE MATTER OF MACDONALD AND CAMPBELL, ARMY AGENTS. The Commissioners met on Friday in List No. 3, to hold the third meeting in this case. It is right to state that the debt proved against the estate by Viscount Beresford, which was done at the second meeting, scarcely equals by one third the amount mentioned in one of the Newspapers. Two cases of extreme hardship were mentioned during the proceedings—one where a sum of 1,1001. lodged at Coutts's by a lieutenant recently married, for the purchase of a captaincy, being the amount of his wife's fortune, was drawn out of that bank at the request of Mr. Campbell, and placed in his hands shortly before the bankruptcy. The officer is at present serving with his regiment in Corfu. The other instance was a similar withdrawal, within a week of the date of the commission, of 5001. from Cox and Greenwood's. Mr. Curslake (solicitor for the assignees, we believe), handed in an order from the Lord Chancellor to prolong the period of Mr. Campbell's surrender 49 days, in consequence of the state of his health. (It appears that a few days be-'I i lfore the closing of the firm he was thrown out of his gig, and I I experienced a concussion of the brain, which has since left him in a dangerous physical and mental condition.) He was in such a state that it had not been deemed prudent to subject him to undergo an examination by the assignees, as it was apprehended that any excitement might lead to fatal come quences. Dr. Macleod, his physician, had given a certificate of his state of health, and was now in attendance to answer any questions before the commissioners. It was arranged, that if, iu the interval of the 49 days I allowed by the Lord Chancellor, they thought th e bankrupt could undergo a private examination before the commis sioners, they would at once appoint a day for the purpose. Mr. Macdonald appeared to surrender. It was decided that a concurrent examination of the bank rupts should take place the same day. The bankrupt answered in the negative to the usual ques tions u to any former bankruptcy or insolvency. The examination closed without a day of adjournment being fixed. The amount of debts proved exceeded 8,0001. The assets to meet the claims of the creditors are said to be very limited in amount. . SOO 416 19 EXECUTION AT CHELMSFORD. On Friday, James Ewen, convicted of arson, and Thomas Bateman, for highway robbery, accompanied with circum stances of savage barbarity, underwent the extreme penalty of the law, in front of Springfield Gaol. Ewen, it will be recollected, had been found guilty of set ting fire to the barn and stack of Mr. Sach, farmer, at Ray leigh. The circumstantial evidence to connect bim with the fact was very slight, but the principal witness, a man named Richardson, who had been imprisoned as an acces sary to the crime, swore that the prisoner had, unso licited, told him, after the fire, that he was the perpetrator, and urged him at the same time to join him in firing another stack belonging to Mr. Blewitt the next evening, Richardson was known to be a notorious bad character, and circumstances subsequently transpiring to cast suspicion upon his evidence, the most strenuous exertions were made by a number of the most respectable inhabitants, to save Ewen's life, but without success. Ewen protested his in nocence in the most earnest manner, up to the last moment, though he freely confessed that in his life he had been guilty of many offences. His wife and two children took their farewell of the unfortunate man a few days previous, and his brother was admitted to him on the morning of his execution. No commiseration was excited for Bateman, who had robbed and cruelly ill used an old man upwards of seventy, by stamping his head into a ditch, and after wards crushing his ear off, which was found buried six inches in the mud. About nine o'clock, after leaving the Chapel, the Culprits ascended the platform, Ewen with great firmness, and Bateman discovering much agita tion. Upon placing the rope round Ewen's neck, it was found to be too short, upon which he observed, " It's rather a tight fit." The halter was obliged to be spliced, and while this was accomplishing, Ewen remarked to a person who stood near, " It is rather cold standing up here." The ropes being adjusted, the bolts were withdrawn, and the prisoners were launched into eternity : they struggled very much. The general impression amongst the Magistrates was, that Ewen was innocent. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday last an inquest was taken at Summer-town, near this city, before Mr. Cecil, coroner, on view of the body of Mary Johnson, who was found dead the preceding morning in a cart-house belonging to Mr. Bates, of Sum mer-town. Joseph Bates, of Summer-town, nurseryman, deposed as follows :—On Thursday last, about 12 o'clock at noon, I went to my cart-house, and heard a rustling in the straw. I said " Who's there ?" Upon which Mary Johnson rose up in the straw, and discovered herself to me, naked. I asked her how she came in that state, and she replied she had been compelled to sell her shift. I asked her if she did not feel it excessively cold, sleeping in such a place, and she said she did not, for my lad gave her two trusses of straw. I then asked her if she did not intend to get up, and go on her road. She replied, " My feet are so sore, and my poor bones ache so, that I am glad to rest them, while the little girl is gone to get bread." About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I was stand ing near the cart-house, and the daughter was talking to Mary Johnson. I inquired whether she was about to leave, and the daughter said, " If you will let my mother sleep here to-night, we will be off the first thing in the morning." I consented, and came away. About 9 or 10 o'clock, I was passing the cart-house, and heard the mother and daughter talking. Mary Johnson told me, the first time I saw her, that she had the rheumatics very bad : she never mentioned that she had applied for parochial relief. James Morris, servant to Mr. Bates, deposed—On Friday morning last, about seven o'clock, I went into my master's cart-house, and found Mary Johnson lying dead under the straw, with her arm across her daughter's body. Mary Johnson, daughter of the deceased—l am twelve years of age. I and my mother left London about six months ago. My mother, when she was, well, went out washing for her living. She was badly when we left London, having pains all round her sides, and used to com plain of it. We came into Oxford about three weeks ago, and stayed a week. We then went to Abingdon and other places. We came through Oxford on Wednesday last to Mr. Bates'.. My mother asked Mrs. B. to let us sleep in the cart-house, and she gave us permission ; this was about four in the afternoon. Mr. Bates's lad gave us straw to lie upon. On Thursday night my mother was very cold, but I did not know she was dead ; she was lying on her left side, with her knees up, and her right arm over me. On Friday morning I told one of Mr. Bates's men that my mother was dead, and he came and found sbe was dead. About a fortnight ago my mother applied at the Butter Bench at Oxford for relief; she was given two peony loaves, and an order to go to the apothecary to the medical dispensary. I went with my mother to the medical dispensary, and deli- 1 vered the order to a young gentleman there ; he asked my mother what was the matter with her, and she said she had pains all round her sides; he did not examine her but gave her six powders, and told her she was not to travel for a cou ple of days. My mother took three powders each day. On the same day she had the powders we went to Mr. Dicke son, and he wrote to Mr. Lakey, the Governor of the United Parishes at Oxford, and he gave us Is. 6d. The next day Mr. Dickeson gave my mother a bottle of medi cine, and we afterwards had Is. 6d. more relief from the overseers of St. Thomas's parish, Oxford. My mother had a pair of stays, a gown and flannel petticoat, but no shift. I had when my mother died, a frock, a stuff petticoat and shift, and an old pair of shoes, but no stockings. When we left London, my mother received from the Overseers at White chapel, London, 21. to take her home. She told the board she was going to Worcester. Before we left London we bought some needles and pins to sell, and left London with about 11. 15s. Sometimes we bad a trifle given us on the road, and 1 sold some needles and pins, but we had but one penny left when we came into Mr. Bates's house. My mo ther said the powders she had from Mr. Symonds's young man, and the medicine she received from Mr. Dickeson, did her good ; hut that she took too much at last of Mr. Dickeson's ; it was a bottle of mixture. Mr. Dickeson was never called upon to attend my mother. For the last three months my mother, at times, has had nothing to eat, and very often only bread, which she could not eat : she has said to me, " I can't eat a piece of dry bread. I must have something else to it." Sometimes we had a little tea, but not often. My mother frequently said she wanted broth or meat. On Tuesday morning last she had a halfpenny worth of milk and a piece of bread, at Abingdon ; and I had a piece of bread, but no milk ; in the evening we had a pennyworth of bread between us. My mother complained almost every day of not having right sort of food : she told the governor at Oxford that she was very ill, but not that she was in want of food. On Thursday lut I begged two pence of two gentlemen on the road near Bate s ' s; I went to two bakers, to get some bread, but they wo u ld not sell me less than 4ed. worth. My mother had nothi ng to eat from Wednesday last until Thursday night, between 10 an d 11 o'clock, when a man came and gave her some bread and dripping. Mr. Dickeson, surgeon and apothecary of Oxford, &- posed—About a fortnight since Mary Johnson, the de ceased, came to my house with an order from the govern or to examine her ; I did so; I did not then prescribe for her, but sent her to the governor for pecuniary reli e f. Sh e came the following day, and I found she was in a very declinin g state of health; I gave her some medicines, and she went away ; she came to me again on Wednesday last, when she said she was considerably better, but weak ; I gave her then one powder only. I have this day opened the body of the deceased ; I find that the liver was very much diseased ; a n d I am of opinion that she died a natural death, and that it was greatiy accelerated by the want of proper food and necessaries. Mr. John James Ireland, of Heading-ton, surgeon •end apothecary, deposed,—l attended and assisted Mr. Dickeson in the opening of the body of the deceased, and I am cons. dent that the deceased had a very extensively diseased liver, and I believe her death was occasioned by it. I am of opinion that her death was accelerated by the want of proper fund and attention. The Jury returned a verdict, " Died by the visitation of God; but that her death was accelerated by the want cf proper food and necessaries. —Oxford Journal. POLICE REPORTS. Bow-STREET.—Saturday being Christmas Day, the worthy Chi e f Magistrate, Sir It. Butane, sat at nine o'clock in the morning, to de. liver the police stations, alias watchhouses, within the districts over which he presides, of their unlucky inmates. There were altogether seventeen defendants or prisoners, and the appearance which they ex. hibited, showed that the punishment which Nature had inflicted on. them was as great as could have been imposed by any artificial means The cold had penetrated to their hearts, and their limbs i-eemed so b e . numbed as to be scarcely able to perform their functions. The a hole of the charges were for disorderly conduct in the street, in cnrue. quenee of the defendants having admitted ' a thief into their mouths to steal away their brains.' Sir RICHARD observed upon, not only the folly, but the disagree able results of an over indulgence in strong potations, and wondered how, at a time of such general and lamentable distress, persons could squander away in liquor money which would be much better bestowed upon relieving the hunger of their fellow creatures. The defendants, one and all, admitted that his Worship was in ora cle of wisdom, and that it would have saved them the wretchedness they had endur.d if they had but adopted such good advice ; b ut as i t was, they must submit themselves entirely to his Worship's clemetcy. hoping at the same time that he would take into consideration the time that it was in, and their almost congealed state, with abundant protestations of future amendment. Sir RICHARD said he thought that they had all been punished ade- I quately to their offences, and that as they had promised to turn over a new leaf (which he trusted they would do without delay.) he would allow them to go to their homes in peace, for the pu , pose of restoring their frames to warmth, and enjoying their Christmas dinners, if they had any to enjoy, but at the same time recommending them to drink only toast and water, or some such harmless beverage. The defendants severally assured his Worship that nothing but thin drink should enter their lips this day, upon which understanding they were all set at liberty, they hobbled off with tottering gait and chatte-. ins teeth to seek some friendly fire to restore them to animation. In consequence of the disturbances in Lancashire, tem porary barracks have been ordered to be established at Ashton.urdir. Line and Stayley-bridge, as well as at Blackburn, Bolton, and Oldl.. ; and orders have been issued from the Commissariat Departnitnt send barrack stores to Ashton.under.Line, and Stayley-bridge ism.L diateiy, . • ROBBERY OP A POST-Boy.--The post-boy, when con veying the mail from Shinrone to Rogues, on Thursday last, was robbed by four men when within half a mile of the latter town. . Lord Cardigan has ordered of a tradesman in Stamford be tween four and live thousand yards of flannel and linen, to distrii,ute amongst his poor neighbours about Deane, Northamptonshire.

An extraordinary marriage took place in the parish of Togher, within a few miles of Drogheda, about a fortnight ago. The gallant gay Lothario bears the cognomen of Patrick Martin, he Is about 74, phlebotomist and horse-leech, and his fair rib, the blooming bar. maid of 3lr. Owen Burton's public-house, at Wyanstown, aged 17 ! ! The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Roger., P. P. of Toghtr. However, the loving bridegroom's happiness was but transient and shur.. lived, as his fair bride decamped from him the following morning. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, as Mr. Andrews, an eminent surgeon of hichmond, Surrey, was returnirg home in his chaise, he came in contact with a baker's cart which r..s going in an opposite direction in a narrow part of the road, at the foot of the hill. The concussion was so great as to snap the shafts asunder. and both Mr. Andrews and the servant was thrown oat, when, whin. choly to relate, the former was killed on the spot. He hu left a whirs and nine children to lament his untimely end. An inquest vu held on Friday on the body, when a verdict of " Accidental Death" nes returned.

In the course of the evening, aim took an opportunity, as he thought unperceived, of stealing a great real. The sentinel witnessed the act of thievery, and called on the perpetrror three times to stop, but the unfortunate wretch disobeying the injunctior, the soldier fired at him, and the ball passed through his neck. lie vas still alive when the waggon left on Thursday, but his recovery was a ... tittered very doubtful.--11ripitios Ilerakl.
