She's at the window many an hour His coming to discover; And her love look'd up to Et.t.rit's bower. And she look'd on her lover— Barahl so pale, he knew her not, Tkkolgh her smile on him was dwelling— And am I then forgot—forgot?— It broke the heart of Euro In Vain he weeps, is vain he Lieu, Her cheek is cold as ashes; Nor love's own kiss shall wake those eyes To lift their silken lashes ! POLICE. CORONATION FEES. Bow-segarr.--Yesterday being the day appointed for the second examination of Mr. Janes Phillips, who is charged with receiving sums of money from a number of Peers, under a pre text of Coronation Fees, Mr. Fellows, the Secretary to the Lord Great Chamberlain, attended before Siir Rrcitasn Manny at a quarter before two o'clock, and: stated that he had come from Lord Gwydyr, who concluded• that there was sufficient evidence to commit Mr. Phillips, and further' evidence should 'be produced on the trial. Sir RICHARD Bram replied, that so far from there being sufficient evidence to commit Mr. Phillips, be had not direct proof of any' charge before him ; and there must be a proof of payment of money under a false pretence or representation ; aid if there was not that proof before hint, be must discharge Mr. Phillips. Mr. Fellowes in consequence wrote a letter immediately tol Lord Gwydyr, which he sent off by a special messenger, in-' farming his Lordship of what Sir Richard Birnie had said. While the messenger was gone, a Gentleman suggested that Mr. Morris, the steward of the Duke of Northumberland, could shortly be procured, he was accordingly sent for. On the arrival of Lord Gwyslyee answer td Mr. Fellowes, he read the contents, his Lordship saying it was impossible for hint, at that short notice, to procure any evidence. About the same time Mr. Mortis arrived, when Mr. Phillips, accompanied by his son and a friend, was brought to the office, when Mr. Morris was sworn, who stated that on the 19th of February last Mr. Phillips called upon him at Northumberland House, and said Le came from the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office for the Co ronation Fees, and the sum demanded being only two guineas, he did not *link it necessary to trouble the Duke upon the subject, but paid the money, and entered it in his book, " Coronation Fees, two guineas, an extract of which he produced. Sir RIM\ as BlllblE said he thought it right to ask Mr. Fel lowes two questions. The first one was :—lf there were any Coronation Fees? and the second was, if Mr. Phillips was in the Lord Great Chamberlain's. employ on the 19th of February ? Jalr. Fellowes replied, first, there were no fees as be knew of ; he could not find any record of any in the Lord Great Chamber -1 lain's Office. He replied, secondly, Mr. Phillips was not in the employ of the Lord Great Chamberlain on the 19th of February,l he having been discharged in the month of August last, the bu siness of the Coronation being over. Dlr. Phillip, in his defence, admitted all that was said, and , ja rifled what he had done, by saying Mr. Fellowes had said he might make what fees be could, and that he could prove that Coronation Fi vs were taken at the Coronation of George 111. by subordinate officers like himself, by a man who is 78 years ofl age. lle reperaed his co saltation at his commencement with t to Earl of Harrowby, who advisel him to get a book in pre - f rerce to a sheet of paper ; but be did not say that the Noble . Eirl advised him to stamp it with the insignia of authority such as 6.11 Lord Great Chamberlain's Office, Coronation Fee,' &c. as the h ;k without these would have been as harmless as the sli .et of pap, r. He also represented the interview he had with Earl of Shaftesbury, who approved of his conduct. The ctily Peer i.e mined as objecting to pay was the Earl of Verulant, who said it would be a tax upon the Peers, as it was possible there might be a Coronation every ten years! fir RICIIA RD BIIKNIE advised him to discontinue that kind of 1 defence, as by his own sheaving from the language used by the, Earl of Ve:ulatn, he most have gone to him by way of demand, which, however, Mr. Phillips positively denied, and expressed great abhortence at the idea of his using any false pretence, and all that was given to him was purely optional. Mr. Morris and Mr. Fellowes having signed their depositions, Mr. Woods, the . Clerk, was about to bind them over in the usual way, to prose cute, when Mr. Fellowes stopped him and objected, s iying he did not wish to appear as the prosecutor, but merely attended there by desire of Lord Gwydyr, the Lord Great Chamberlain. Sir RIC 11.• RD Etna, said, he hoped that Mr. Morris would not be the only one singled out to give evidence, as, on looking over Mr. Phillips's book, he particularly noticed the names of the Marquis Camden, Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Kenyon, &c. Mr. Morris also objected himself to give evidence, he nut ex pecting, when be was sent for to the Office, to be made to prosecute. With these feelings of the witnesses, the binding. over to prosecute was dispensed with. Sir Rims an IlinNta then informed Mr. Phillips that the of fence with which he was charged was bailable, and that he should not call upon him for a large sum, but Ea would be suf ficient. Mr. Phillips's friend, who proved to be Mr. Jeffries, of St. Alban's-place, then stepped forward, and said he was proud to cad. Mr. Phillips his friend, and spoke in the highest terms of his integrity and honour, and that he had no doubt that be would not do anything by a false representation. Mr. Phillips's sou offered to return the money if it was consi dered his father had received it improperly. Sir Racomto Maras, in reply to Mr. Jeffries, said. he dared to say all he had said of Mr. Phillips was correct, and that the Legislature, in passing the Act, did not contemplate such a case ac this, but had in view embeazlements. Mr. Phillips said be had no doubt he could procure a hundred bails, which Sir Rieman) Blasts said he had no doubt of, and being informed a second housekeeper was sent for, observed, he bad very reluctantly committed Mr. Phillips, and very hand somely agreed to take the bail of Mr. Jeffries only. NILITA EY LIBEL. Thomas Webb, was brought to this Office yesterday, under the following circumstances :—ln the year 1616, a private soldier of the 3d Foot Guards, named John Hegg, died of a mortification In the viscera, brought on by a complication of disorders. Some time after his death, this Thomas Webb started up as his " next of kin," and claimed an investigation of the circumstances con nected with his last illness. The Medical Officers of the Regi ment gave him every information ; but still he was not satisfied, and he wrote to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment on the subject. The Home Secretary laid his letter before his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, and his Royal highness direct . ed a further and more minute investigation of the matter. This was done, and for a time Thomas Webb ap peared satisfied. Latterly, however, be has been placarding the streets with large written papers, headed, " The Military Black job !" and offering a reward, or the thanks of the writer, to and person who could give him information how the above-men tioned John Hegg came by his death, insinuating that he died by unfair means, and accusing his Majesty's Masten and the Officers of the 3d lust Guards of a wish to suppress all Inquiry xeapecting it. Many of these papers, all signed " Thomas Ile86," have been posted up near the Horse Guards and the streets in the imme diate neighbourhood, and at length it was thought proper to ap- , ply to the Magistracy. Sir R}CHARD limout issued his warrant accordingly, and Thomas Webb was taken into custody. Colonel itooke, and several other Officers, were in attendance, and a good deal of conversation took place, in the course of , which Sir Riemsan 8110111 read a variety of documentary evi dence, and official reports, connected with the business, and shewing that the soldier in question having been seized with a 'Lakin fit, was bled by the Assistant-surgeon of the Regiment, and sent in a hackney-coach to the Regimental Infirmary ; that the medicines usual in such cases were administered to him, and that in three days afterwards he was discharged from the Hos. pital, and resumed his duty apparently quite recovered ; that he afterwards complained of a pain in the ars width had been bled, sad on inspection it was found to be ~44 bdiamod. whet-. upon he was again sent to the'lnfirmary ; that he was next at tacked with pains In bla legs, his other arm. and his side sue , cessively; that violent vomiting ensued which ended in his death ; and that, on opening the body, It was found that a tnnatillcation of the intestines had taken place. Sir Rscnalo Maxis ;sled the prisoner whether he had not been furnished with copies of all these documents, and whether he did not think the information they contained was as full and sa tisfactory as possible? The prisoner replied, that he did not—it was not that kind of investigsdon which could be satisfactory to him. Colonel Rooke asked him—Supposing a fresh examination of the circumstances were to be allowed, what mode of inquiry he eittld possibly point out-which would be more satisfactory? i Prisoner.--" I would call for all the papers of the first Mem- Algation, and compare them minutely with those of the second ; 'and I would then put a number of questions to the surgeons, arising out of that comparison." He was told that there was no variation between the. one state ment and the other, which he must know, as copies of the whole had been furnished him at the time. To this he replied, that he had seen copies of the whole, and if sonic of those now advanced belonged to them, there was 4orlhery in the case. The Magistrate asked him whether, admitting his disapproba tion to be well-founded, he thought the issuing of inflammatory placards was the best mode of inquiry ? Prisoner.—" Sir, I leave that to your better judgment ; but in my opinion any means which may lead to inquiry are justifiable." " Pray, what relation was the deceased soldier to you ?" asked the Magistrate. Prisoner.—" He was my wife's brother. But it is not on the ground of relationship that I have interfered—l should think it equally my duty had he been a stranger. Every Englishman has a right to make inquiries of this kind, and the law will pro tect him in it." " What business are you?" Prisoner.—" I take up, lay down, shake, beat, and repair carpets." After some further conversation, the Magistrate told him, that whatever might be the merits of the case in question, or his mo tive in urging such repeated inquiries, the placards produced were highly improper, inflammatory, and illegal; they Were a libel both upon the Regiment and tire King's Ministers, and he should therefore require him to find bail for his appearance to take his trial at - the Quarter Sessions. Prisoner—A I shall offer no bail—l shall follow the natural Course of the thing." • The worthy Magistrate pointed out to him the advantages he would derive from being out upon bail, if only in the preparation of his defence ; but the prisoner said he knew the world too well to lay himself under obligation to any man; and away he marched, in custody of'the turnkey, with as much alacrity as if be bad been going to his *edding. Utoox-HALL—Mr;. Hester Parka was brought up on a war rant, at the instigation of her hugatrd, Mr. T. Parkes, charged with having threatened to do him lame bodily harms Mr. Parkes stated, that he was by profession a chemist, and had a few years since carried on business on an extensive scale He now was reduced to very humble circumstances, which was wholly .at tributable to the misconduct of his wife, who indulged, when in prosperity, in the greatest extravagance, gave herself up to drink ing, and his affairs became embarrassed, and a failure was the consequence. Since he had been in indigence, her propensity for liquor had increased to that degree, that to obtain it, she would carry every article of value out of the house, which she would pledge, and get beastly intoxicated with the money, in which state she was continually being brought home to her family. In addition to the above series of misconduct, Mr. l'arkes stated, that she was constantly maltreating him, bileating him in a most unmerciful manner, and had often held him by the , throat till she nearly produced strangulation. She had repeatedly threatened to do for him; and he was conscious that, unlesi some restraint was placed on her, murder would ensue, she was so vile a character. Mrs. Parkes was ordered to find securities to keep the peace towards her husband for twelve months, who would allow her a weekly stipend for her maintenance. Wednesday a poor country boy wts brought to the Office, who had been found by a watchman in a state of nudity in Kent street, in the Borough, on the preceding night. It appeared that some villain, finding that tke youth wanted employment, had persuaded him to take'off his clothes, under a promise of being immediately provided with a sailor's suit, and with em ployment on board a ship. The Magistrate ordered the poor fellow to be clothed and sent back to his parents, who live at Chadwick, in Essex. MA 111.11010IIGII.STRITT.—Yeftnday, a young man of respect able appearance, who represented himself as a horsedealer, was brought up in the custody of Craig and Valentine, charged by the Hon. Mr. Travers, with obtaining a horse under the follow ing species of fraud appeared that Mr. Travers, having a horse in his possession which be wished to dispose of, he attended Tattersall's, with the animal, where he soon got a customer in the person of the prisoner, who, after viewing the horse, was in every way satisbed with its appearance, but wished to have it tried, for which purpose they repaired with the animal to Berke ley-square, where Mr. Travers 's servant rode the horse, and nothing then remained, but the payment of the money, the value of the horse. The prisoner having no money, gave Mr. Travers a bill on a banker, amounting to more than the value of the horse, and was to call on the following day for the surplus ; but in the meantime Mr. T. sent the .bill to Di ummonds to be cashed, when it was ascertained to be a (rand. The prisoner called the following day, when he was given in custody tc the officers, who were in readiness.—He WAS remanded. There were no trials of any importance on Wed nesday in the Court of King's Bench. At the rising of the Court the Sittings were adjourned to Monday the 28th of October. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT left town yesterday for the Northern Circuit. A man, named Jennings was on Tuesday taken into custody, charged on suspicion of having thrown a Lid, named Francis Withy, from a building scaffold at Kensington Gore, a few days I ago, and thereby caused his death. A Coroner's Inquest inves tigated this business yesterday; there was no proof of the alleged fact, and the verdict was, Died through a fall from a scaffold.' At the General Sessions of the Peace for the Town and Port of Dover, and its Liberties, held on Monday before HessuAw LATHAM, Esq. Mayor, and a full Bench of Magistrates, .tflexan der .bliss Spence was put to the bar, charged under Lord Ellen. borough's Act with having, on the tfith March last, maliciously fired two loaded pistols at Lieutenant Graham, It. N. with intent to murder, or do him some grievous bodily harm. The trial came on at twelve o'clock and lasted till four in the afternoon, when the Jury retired to consider their verdict and returned at six o'clock in the evening, finding the prisoner Guilty; but recom mended hint to mercy en account of his youth. The RECOILDEa then addressed the prisoner in the most impressive manner, ob serving, at the same time, that although be could hold out to him no hopes of mercy, yet the recommendation of the Jury and the Prosecutor should be forwarded where alone mercy could be obtained. The Maws then passed the awful sentence of death on the unhappy criminal. Saturday morning, as Mr. JAMES MOOllllOll3l, of Stockport, near Manchester, was walking in that neighbourhood, in appa rent good health, he fell down, and instantly expired. Beams oe A Humoo Winow.—Prom the Madras Courier of Feb. Ratif in January a warrior died, and was burnt in i well, about six feet deep. The same day, his wife, prior to his death, told him she would go with him, and the same night dreamt her husband came to her, when asleep, and hit her upon the shoulder, saying, Are you asleep—are you not corning?' Upon this she Immediately rose, and gave her child to the family, saying-.--' take it, I shall have nothing more to do with it; and desired things might be prepared,as she was determined to burn herself at four o'clock in the afternoon. AU the offers of money, and persuasions of her brother and family were of avail ; the Rajah and Tasalder did all in their power to dissuade her from committing the rash act, but in vain. A little before four o'clock she left her dwe frog, In company with her family, and proceeded to a tank, near the village where her husband had been burnt, and, after performing the usual ceremonies, walked three times round the well, her brother and other relations holding her hand. She then quitted their hold, plunged into the well, and sat doirn, when,dreadful to relate,woooll,and ghee were thrown upon her by a few people. She was quite composed, and requested the people not to throw any more upon her, as she was with her hus band, and in the course of a few minutes she was burnt to ashes without a groan or shriek. Not a tom-tom was b eat , nor did t h e natives shout, as is generally the case; all seemed horror-struck at what they had witnessed. Qn the forenoon of the day she was to burn herself she bathed, put on cyan linen, eat beetle, and held in her head a wain looking-easy on which she spntiosolly t oo k e d." .

Two Gentlemen, of the names of Dammam and Matuson, made the bet at a Coffee-house in St. James's, on Wednesday night, when mellowed at the shrine of Bacchus, to run five miles, and to start off band. Rattlers were procured, and off they went to the Willsdnn road, and started. The match immedi ately became a sporting one between the Corinthian followers, and it was an excellent race. Both seemed aware of the wan, of condition, but they did the first mile together in six minutest the second in seven, and the third in eight, when the nutritious wet, oozed forth in streams. The pedestrians, however, kept on at slavery together, when Mr. Meatus' let go his speed in the last 100 yards, and won cleverly at last in 36 minute:. MOOR GAME. The number of Grouse which are daily found dead upon the moors, having given rise to various erroneous conjectures as to the cause of so unusual a mortality, we are now, on the infor mation of a Correspondent, enabled to state the real complaint so prevalent among them. A fine old cock bird was taken on the ath hut. on the moorland of E. TUILTON, F.sq. near Thirsk, and opened by J. DENT, Esq. surgeon, of that town. It was found to contain a large quantity of ttpe.worm, which, in all probability, has occasioned the death of so many birds, and in a great mea sure disappointed the hopes of all true sportsmen. In the same' neighbourhood a person lately picked up no less than sixty grouse, all in a dying state, and which soon after expired, without any apparent disorder.--Darheos Chtenick. The following slnguLsr instance of the destruction of par tridges by ticks or sheep-lice occurred last week in a field of car raway, near the Halfway douse, at Minster, in Sheppy. Some pointers made a point some time before any game could be dis covered : at length, on a search, three young partridges and the old hen were found quite dead, sitting on their breasts as if asleep. On taking them up and examining them, no cause of their death could be perceived ; they were in g ood order as to flesh, and the hen bad lost all her feathers from her breast. 'lley were taken home in order to examine them more closely, and the hen being picked, the inside of her wings, the rump, tail, and the poll of the held, were complete! covered with muses of ticks and scarification', and, if possible, the young ones were more infected; and from this cause there is no doubt was their death prettied. The coney bad ire; found several times blip, Nn : they were a month old,. and could fly wan, There were no wounds nor bruises about them, and their inside, were per. fectly correct. The marsh-bred birds fn Sbeppy are very sub, ject to dill infection. PEDESTRIAN FEAT. On the Ildt instant, a race against time was run on the L em . don Road front Newark, by a stranger of about five feet fiv e inches high, and light make. He started from the i lorse and Jockey, at half-past six o'clock, and ran one mile, which he re. rated twenty-three times in two hours and forty-five minute, with apparent ease, which was five minutes within the give; time. He ofered to go fifty miles per day for fifty successive days, if a bet could be made that would remunerate him for his trouble. DORI NG. Monday last, a boxing match took place at Bassat's prit , tea , miles distance from Birmingham, between the Cut-arat f T ar , worth butcher, David Barnes, and the kary liasket-mcd•er, Ar thur )iatthewson, of Birmingham, for SO guineas aside. Ili', match excited considerable attention among the lovers of rud';,i - both at Tamworth and Birmingham. The butcher was the tan, and the biggest man, having the length of his antagonist, weighing nearly 12 stone. Arthur did not weigh above ten stor about five feet five inches in height, but well made. Fift y rounds dere fought in good style. The game of the butcher 4.d . wonders for him ; but, like other brave fellows, he won Cninlielle to submit to his fate. • In the last round the basket-maker, 12 j I Warwickshire man o euvre, threw up his heels, and as be w as , „ s down Arthur caught him with his left hand under the t‘ve , which finished the manly, brave, and game Cut-away, who cr m : tended every inch of ground for eighty minutes ! Tuesday, Joel Harris, the Warminster man, and Harry 1 - 0 -2 a known good man, met on Ashton Down, Surrey, to 1:,14 twenty guineas a-side. The battle lasted twenty rounds, the first half of which was slaughter-work. Harris was floored by a facer on the mug .a making play in the first round. In the second round, Harris doubled up " Muter rord" by a hard bit in the wind-office. Tney fought on with much game, but in the 13th round Ford received a blow on the back part of the neck, and seemed en able to get his head erect again. lle had no chance in the fol lowing rounds, and Harris won it in the 20th, after sums stmr t morning exercise. The second battle was between two young men fog let. Th e , were bad fighters, but they were bullock hearted. batch, ll way the name of tke winner.

C. SPENCER, Falmouth, where his observations are to conur.::::., and thence to Madeira, and back again; by w;:f Lisbon, to Falmouth, to finish his observations tilere. He has taken with him several chronometers, azl other valuable mathematical instruments. The following instance of the desperation of I".nnke in Ireland, is stated in a lean- from Mr. of Bilstow•an Parish, in the Barony of Islands:— " A bullock of two years old fell ill on a farm c: mine, about two miles from where I live, and, as tl.e disorder was what is very prevalent in this coute.y, and very infectious, the herdsman drew it to niy house, where it shortly died of black quarter, b;:ing a mortification in the part, which extends ov-r the carcase, and the flesh became black aad putrid in a very short time. As soon as skinned, the carc.,:e was thrown into a hole, and covered with earth, ant remained so for three days ; but on the fourth night it was dug up, and, in the horrid putrid, morneA state it was in, it was taken away for food! On in quiry, I ascertained that it was taken by a , l tunate man of the name of Fairy, who lived near me, and who had a family of nine children; and th(sug'a having a ticket for meal at a reduced price, was net able to purchase a single stone for their subsistence. For Gon's sake send some succour: let them earn i:— let them but get it by earning it—but let them not perish, or be forced to commit depredations for luoi. They continue extremely correct and honest." 131Itl'HS. Friday, in Cork, the Lady of the Rev. Archdeacon Robert Hamilton, of a daughter.

June 28, aged 76 years, Mrs. Hannah Wilkinson, of Pilche. gate, In Nottingham ; a character well known on account of her having kept a stall for the sale of sweetmeats, &c. near the Ton Hall. She had followed this humble occupation for the 1 4 " of more than fifty years last past, and from her constant attenl ance every day (Sundays excepted), had assumed a sort of ri;h: to the place, which the Magistrates, in their numerous regal:- dons for the improvement of the town, never thought fit to dir Curb. During the long course of her career, her stall was regu larly seen in the street, at all seasons, and she was never know• to be absent from it, even in the severest weather in winter. Latterly some humane individuals presented her with a box to screen her from the inclemency of the weather, and in this she continued to take her station till within a few days of her death.
