The " genteel beggar," who lately attracted so much notice in the North of England, and who was supposed to be the cele brated Captain Baactar, last week paid a visit to Dumfries, but no more like the Captain than Criffel Hill is like Mount Cauca sus. In his person, this man is rather diminutive, and nothing but the circumstance of his wearing a frilled shirt, and being dressed shabby genteel, could have given rise to that delusion which draws hundreds around him wherever he goes. His sing ing, too, is completely in the falsetto style, and is occasionally in. tcrsperaed with recitations, delivered in a manner which con firms our suspicions that he is neither more nor less than a poor strolling player, who, finding himself out at elbows, has fallen upon this novel mode of raising the wind; yet, strange to say, rich and poor, gentle and simple, young and old, rushed to their doors or to the streets to listen to the unskilful performance of a strolling musician, who ' " if not Captain Barclay," they all took to be" at least a Gentleman in disguise ;" and every time the bat went round, sixpences and shillings, as well as coppers, were plentifully dropped into it !—(Dsonfries There was lately taken up from among potatoes in a field near Paisley, many hundred seedlings from American apples. A quantity of spoiled American apples had been deposited in a dung-hill, and with this dung the potatoes had been planted. Many attempts to raise seedlings from American apples in this country have been unsuccessful, but it is sup posed the preparation of the seed in the dunghill was the cause of so complete success in this instance. The Carlisle Journal, in its Account of the celebra tion of the Coronation in that city, says—" The Radi calism of the populace began to manifest itself early. The Market-place, and the principal streets, were crowded with individuals, who 44 ever and anon" were exclaiming, " The Queen !"—" Blue for ever!" &c. A very respectable Military Officer who passed, was saluted wit'i cries of " Mancltesier!"—l , Man chester!" at which lie felt indignant, and, we under stand, used some strong and courageous expressions which induced the mob to knock him down two or three times. The Cavalry were, in consequence, called out, and the City, for the remainder of the night, exhibited the appearance of a place subject to mai tial law. We do not find in the Provincial Papers, received at our Office, any other exception to the geneial joy which prevailed on that memorable day.' Muitoza.—Monday evening an Inquest was held in the Committee-room of Guy's Hospital, before T. SHELTON, Esq. Coroner, on the body of John James, aged 40, who was murdered by a man named David Thomas. It appeared in evidence that deceased was a shopmate of Thomas's, at a mustard-manufactory in Lambeth-butts, and they had hitherto been on very friendly terms with each other ; but on Satur day last, having entered into a political dispute, in which some angry expressions were used, in conse quen-e of the deceased having drank the health of the King with some porter, to the displeasure of Thomas, who professed to be for the Queen, they quarrelled. The parties went to dinner after this, and on their return had some more porter; and while the deceased was drinking, Thomas ripped open the belly of deceased with some sharp instrument. Tho mas was secured, and the deceased was taken to Guy's Hospital, where he died of the wound. The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against David Thomas. Bow-Smarr. —Yesterday, an Irishman, of the name of Jahn Dunn, was brought up in the custody of Bishop, by whom be was apprehended on Monday night last, after a desperate re sistance, at a public.honse in Islington, in consequence of a war rant which had been transmitted from the Head Police-Office, Dublin, in which he was charged with being the person who stands indicted for the murder of William Cruise, Esq. of Bel grade Castle, near Dublin, on the 3d of January last—He was ordered to be delivered to the messengers from the Dublin Police, to be conveyed to Ireland.

On the Judges taking their seats this morning, Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET said, that an application had been made to the Court in the case of the King v. Turner, to put off the defendant's trial, on the. ground of his inability to appear at the bar, to plead to an indictment against him for forgery. He (Ser jeant Bosanquet) thought the Court could not put. off the trial on such an application, especially as he bad Mr. Box, the medical attendant on the prisoners in Newgate, then in Court, who would depose that Mr. Turner was perfectly capable of appearing in Court to take his trial. Mr. ALLEY, on the part of Mr. Turner, contended that every person was the best judge of his own feel ings ; and that it would be a most deplorable sight to see this Gentleman brought down to plead upon a mattress; and he (Mr. Alley) was informed that it would take at least a quarter of an hour to bring him from the prison into Court. The Cover, however, ruled that Mr. Box, as was usual, under such circumstances, should be examined viva voce; which was done accordingly. Mr. Box, in answer to the interrogatories which were put to him, said, be had attended Mr. Turner for upwards of a month, and that all his functions were regular, and he believed him to be perfectly able to take his trial. Mr. Box further declared, in answer to a question from Mr. Alley, that, in his opinion, there was not a man in England in better health at this moment than Mr. Turner. The Cower then ordered that Mr. Turner should either produce the affidavit of a medical man, who had attended him for some length of time, to shew that he is incapable of coming down to plead to the indictment in open Court; or, in default thereof, that he must appear and plead, and take his trial at the present Old Bailey Sessions. James Jones, aged 27, Thomas Lee, 22, Richard llocbollom, 22, William Hardy, '27, E. Jennings, and James M'Carthy, 22, were indicted for riotously assembling, with divers others unknown, and as saulting and beating several of his Majesty's subjects. They were also detained oa the verdict of a Coro ner's Jury, charging• them with the wilful murder of William Cogle, in the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster. Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution, as it was proved by the following evidence: Mrs. Mary Cogle, widow of deceased, remembered too well last Waterloo-day. In the afternoon of that day she and her husband were sitting in the parlour, and he was reading the "Death of Abel." This was between seven and eight o'clock. They heard a noise in the street, and a boy told them a mob was coming arp, and desired them to shut the street-door, which she did. She saw soldiers beating a man.— There were a great number of the soldiers. The man they were beating was one of her lodgers ; but she did not then know that ; but she saw him turn in towards her door. The soldiers followed him in, and her husband and she got up ; and the first thing they did was to knock witness down, and she was so stunned that she saw no more until they had left the house; then she saw her husband lying on the floor, with his hands stretched out, and bleeding from his head. He could not speak a word, and ishe sent for a surgeon, who directed him to be im mediately taken to the Hospital. He lived but four days after. She was with him when he died. Their house was in Orchard- street , Westminster. Her hus band was never able to speak again ; he was 62 years of age, and was a paper-hanger. Cross-examined by Mr. AooLeous.—She could not tell how many lodgers she had then ; she took in match-makers, and such people as those. The man who was followed by the soldiers belonged to Mr. Saunders's Shew; he had lived, off and on, in her house for two years. Another lodger had opened the door after she had shut it, to see what was the matter. She did not know that any of her lodgers went out into the street ; she was knocked down, or pushed down, in the parlour, with her head to the fire-place. When she recovered, she found her husband lying in the other room, on the other side of the passage. Ann Hinton lived at No. 60, in Orchard-street, on the.lBth of June. She saw on that day a quan tity of people going down the Almonry about seven in the evening. Some had red and some white jackets ; but she could not tell how many there were of them. There was a drummer in full uniform amongst them. She identified M'Carthy as the drummer. They were going and sunning all man ner of ways. She then saw the soldiers come up to. wards Orchard-street, and she saw Paterson come out of Mr. Cogle's terribly ill-used. This was when they were all a-fighting ; she saw a person come out of there, run to the top of Orchard-street, and then return back again. Then he ran by the Watch house, and he was being beaten while he was run ning. While he was up by the wall at the Watch house, the soldiers were still beating him. M'Carthy hit him several times with a sword; as soon as she got him from the soldiers, she went with him to the Hospital. The ALMIGHTY ordered it, she said, that she should get between Paterson and the soldiers.— As soon as she got hold of Paterson's arm, the sol• diers went away ; while they were beating Paterson, the drummer said, " that was how they did at the Battle of Waterloo." She did not see what was done in Cogle's house. G. Wells, a private in the 18th Hussars, was at Westminster about half-past seven in the evening of the 18th of June. He first saw a disturbance in Dean-street, between about fifty inhabitants and sol diers; they got into the Almonry, and he could not ' tell what they were about. In the Almonry, he saw the soldiers and the inhabitants quarrelling and fight ing together. At the top of the New-way, another great disturbance took place between them; they were moving towards St. Ann's-lane and Orchard street, and in going to St. Ann's-lane they must have passed Cogle's house; he went as far as the top of Orchard -street, within three or four doors of Cogle's house; he saw several Officers of Queen-square Of fice bringing some soldiers back who Were much cut about the head; they brought them down to the watch-house, where they remained some time, and then there was a riot between the soldiers and inha bitants again. Some of the former were again put in the watch-house. Both the inhabitants and the soldiers then retired—the latter peaceably to their different quarters, as witness did. In half an boar 'after, the people were out in a. bustle again. He stopped in the Broadway, but saw no more disturb ance between the soldiers and the inhabitants; among the former, he saw M'Carthy, in full-dress, with his side-arms, and one time he crossed his sword, as if ready to draw it. He was with the soldiers in diffe rent parts; but he did not see that he was more offi cious than any of the cthers. The last time he saw M'Carthy, he went out of Tothill-street into the Al monry. He was going in front of a number of sol diers and inhabitants to the amount of one hundred altogether. He believed no other of the soldiershad their side-arms, but he saw two or three with sticks; some of the inhabitants had also sticks, but the inha bitants dispersed as quickly as they could when the riot began again. The latter sometimes followed the soldiers, and sometimes the soldiers followed the in habitants. He saw one man struck on the head by a soldier, with a stick like a piece of paling. Ile did not know either the man or the soldier. He did not recollect seeing any other of the prisoners but M'Carthy on that evening ; but he did not bear what he saill, though he spoke as he was walking at the head of the men. He appeared to be rather intoxi cated. The soldier who struck the man with the piece of paling was so disfigured with blood, that he should not be able to know him again. Cross-examined.—The affray lasted two hours: the position in which M'Carthy was holding his sword was the best to prevent it from being snatched from the sheath. Mrs. Maria Timbrell lived at No. 69, in Orchard street. Knew Mr. Cogle, who lived on the same side of the way as she did. About eight in the evening, she heard a disturbance, and she went into the middle of the street. She saw a mob of soldiers coming tip the New-way, towards Mr. Cogle's; they were run ning, and Roebottom was the first to enter Mr. Co gle's house, with i piece of paling in his hand. She identified ltoebottom. All that she saw of them (six or eight) entered Cogle's house. There were some persons, but. not many, collected about the house; and she then saw Roebottom come out of it with the piece of paling in his band. There was a poor man running along the street, and Roebottom ran after him. The rest of the soldiers then came out. She did not take such notice of any of them as of Roe bottom, because he had then a black eye; but she identified M'Carthy as being one of those at Cogle's house. He was waving his sword over his head; but she did not know what became of him after, until he came out of Cogle's house, when he had his sword still undrawn. Richard Webb lives at No. 12, Orchard-street. Was at home when he first heard of the disturb ance; but he went to the corner of the New-way, where he saw eighteen or twenty soldiers running to wards him, from the New-way, into Orchard-street; they had sticks and pieces of wood, but he did not observe any side-arms. A number of people were standing together, but when the soldiers came up, they gave way. The latter went to Cogle's, where they knocked a man down at the street-door. He could not say who did it ; they all went into Cogle's house after the man, whom they had again knocked down, but he had got up and run into Co2lr.s's house. The drummer came up with a drawn sword, and ran in also. The latter had come up the New-way, ra ther behind the others. In a few minutes after, he came out with his sword still drawn, and he ran up the street after the rest. Cross-examined.---He is a butcher: lives opposite to Cogle's; he thought he saw Maria Timbrell at her own door, but could not say, The people were as quiet as possible; there was no fighting, nor any the least expression against the soldiers whatever. They blamed the soldiers for what they were doing. A young man ran into his shop with a fire-shovel in his hand. He did not know the name of the man who was knocked down, but he rather thought he lodged in Cogle's house. He did not see M'Carthy wave his sword over his head. Susannah Perring lived opposite to Cogle's on the 18th of June. She first heard a noise in the Al monry, about five o'clock, which lasted till eight. The soldiers came into the street with sticks and pieces of paling; and she saw a drummer, with a sword in his hand, at Cogle's door ; but she lost sight of him, by looking at the other soldiers beating a man. She saw all the prisoners in Orchard-street. Cross-examined.— She saw a number of loose cha racters going down the Almonry with pokers and shovels. She did not see Cogle that evening. Samuel Ashton lodged in the same house with Cogle. The soldiers came with sticks and staves; the people were running before them; and they were following them in a brutish manner. Witness made his way home, but the soldiers were some of them up at Cogle's house before he got there. A man in a drummer's dress stood in the centre of Cogle's pas sage, with a drawn sword. He made a cut at wit ness, and took Mr. Cogle on the side of the head, who fell, and witness went through the kitchen into the yard, and got over into the adjoining yard. He could not tell what became of the man who aimed the blow at him. M'Carthy must have entered the house before them; but he could not say how many had done so besides. He could not point the drummer out, nor identify any of the prisoners. The rest of the soldiers called the drummer M'Carthy. Cross-examined.--He could not say that the drum mer called M'Carthy was the man that struck at him. When he was in Orchard-street he had nothing in his hand, nor did he see any one but soldiers with wea pons in their hands. Thomas Chapman, a private in the West Middlesex Militia, lodged in the deceased's house. On the night in question a great mob came up the street, and among them were Roebottom and M'Carthy. Some of the soldiers said, " These are the very —, and we will let them know that it is Waterloo day." He could not tell who said so. Roebottom, he thought, entered Cogle's house first, followed by one or two others. M'Carthy had a drummer's dross, and had , a drawn sword. The rest had mostly sticks. Ashton was standing in the kitchen, when the soldiers came in, and M'Carthy cut at Ashton, but missed him, and cut Cogle on the head. Ashton got away, and M'Carthy made a second underhanded blow at the deceased. Blood followed the first cut, and as he was falling M'Carthy struck at him the second time.— The soldiers came rushing in, and after being cverely wounded on the head, he escaped up stairs, and fainted away on his bed. Cross-examined.—He said nothing about M'Carthy before the Justice s because he •A as not then tik .11, Atm ~ did he say anything about the blow which Cogle 11 ;t i received before the Magistrate. Roebottom had 4 black eye, and some slight scratches. Elizabeth Ilariiing lives in Orchard -street, s!,e , went to Cogles house after the soldiers had lef t i t, and saw him lying wounded and inserAble. John Jenkins identified Lee as being o ne o r the soldiers at Cogle's house, who took - up a s tone to throw at witness. The latter said to him, My d ear fellow, don't knock out my brains, if yen are knock. ing the rest ont." Lee then dropped the stone. M r ,. Cogle held no her hands, and said, "My dear nu n nobody wants to hurt you in this house." Lee shored her down, saying, " You d—d infernal old— o d at do you know about it'" At this time a man, fi re feet eight or nine inches high, stood in the passag, beating a man ey n the head. The deceased w as standing with his hands extended, but never spoke to any one. The man had a white jacket who knotted the deceased down. Witness made his escape over a fence and tv-o walls, and' got into another street.. Sarah Ashton dei)oed that a man in a drumm er ' s jacket knocked her down in Cogle's passage in draw. ing his sward before he struck Cogle on the he,4 with it. She became inenr:!)le, - and when she recd. vered Co:•lc was in the same room, and a su rgeon dressing his head. She could not id , •ntify aav c. ;he prisoners. Cogle was wounded i❑ the head. Joseph Cooper, a Queen-square Of f icer, repaired to the scene of action, and saw the soldiers tannin , . towards St. Ann's-lanc. He followed, with pope. brother Officer, and saw Hardy striking a man who was down, in the street. The witness took Jones into custody. Mr. Stevenson was Surgeon at the Westminster Hospital, when the deceased was In-, , ught there. Ile had a wound over the right eye, hilt inzh in breadth, and about tw•> inches long. The skull was fractured, and depressed on the brain. Ile lived three or four days, and died in consequence of the fracture of the skull. Mr. White, another Surgeon, gave similar testi. mony.—This closed the case for the prosecution. When called on for their defence, Nl•Carthy de. dared his innocence, and put in a written de:ence, stating that the affray began by two drunken soldiers being severely beaten by seven or eight young flea in the Almoury, whose ring of marbles they had dis. turbed. He had, he allowed, drawn his sword, bet because the mob beat him and the rest of the sol. diers unmercifully. He also asserted that he w?.s in Knightsbridge Barracks ten minutes before eight; he denied that he ever saw Cogle in his life. Roebottom's defence was, that he an,: Dolben, his • comrade, were those who inadvertently trod on the • marbles. He was much beaten and kicked, but nerer 1 , went into a house that he knew of. Hardy, Lee, and Jones, r ut in similar. defences. M. Dolben, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was in company with Roebottom at the Marquisol Granby. As they were going through the Almonry, they ~ .aw boys playing at marbles, and otheruktoking at them to the number of twenty or thirty. Tais was about seven o'clock. They were both tipsy ; and Iloebot tom said he kicked one of the marbles by accident. A man said, " What do you kick the marbles for, you b—y lobster (or soldiet)?" One of then' begat to strike Roebottom ; and witness turr.ed to try to get him away. Another asked witness if he oiled !Ourself a man? Ile said, yes; and the othagrect him directly. They fought, but four or five weal witness at once, and got him down. He was knead down tour or five times, till he fainted away, not know what became of him. He was kid:eclat the forehead, the marks of which he . slimed. Some man took him away to wash him. Sarah Taylor, wife of a labourer, at jeffrics build ings, near the Almonry, corroborated the teiinoily of last witness, as to the affray about the marbios. She also swore that she washed Roehottom's face from the blood, and took him to her house, where he remained from seven in the evening until 20minutes past eight. Cruse-examined.--She went into her neighbour's and knew what o'clock it was, and when she told Roehot tom this, he jumped out of her back window, on hear ing the cries of the people, that they would murder him. Several of her neighbours ss ere in the room with them, but not one of them were attending the trial. Several other witnesses (most of them soldiers in the Coldstream Guards) corroborated the Testimony of Dolben, as to the commencement of the s iot in the Almonry, and that the soldiers were furnished with sticks in their own defence. Mr. Justice Hotuovo summed up the evidence at great length, and with the greatest impartiality ; and the Jury returned a verdict, finding James M'earthy and Richard Roebottom guilt; of Mans!aughtt r ; and acquitted Edward Jennings, James Jones, Thomas Lee, and William Hardy. FATAL ACCIDEST.—A few days ago a respectable tradesman of Bond-street, who has a country-house near town, returned to the latter with a friend, wl:oa he had accompanied on a shooting party; when in the act of putting his piece to the ground, the .hock gave an impulse to the trigger, the piece went off; and the contents were lodged in his friend's Ile. rt.
