A MILITARY MARRIAGE !—Yesterday, a very in teresting and rather beautiful female, in an advanced state of pregnancy, named Dorothea Fleming, other wise Burke, was brought up to Mary-la-Bonne Office, charged with assaulting her husband, Mr. Edward Burke, foreman to Mr. - Raymond, builder, of Glou cester-place, Portman-square. The poor young woman being placed at the bar, seemingly in great distress, Mr. Burke stood forward, and deposed, that about the month of October, 18l 6, he was a Serjeant in a Royal Scotch Regiment, then in the City of Edinburgh, where he became acquainted with the defendant, who lived servant in the family of Dr. Bryce, in St. Andrew's-square. A correspondence was carried on for a considerable time, till at length she proved pregnant. The regi ment was then about to go to Ireland, and on the defendant being made acquainted with the orders, she expressed a desire to return to her mother at Berwick, provided the complainant would give her a document in writing to answer the purpose of a marriage certificate, in order to make it appear to her parents that she had been lawfully married. This proposition he at first had a great objection to, but being over-persuaded, he at length agreed to give her the required document, which was drawn up by Serjeant Clarke, belonging to the same regiment, and a mock ceremony was performed by a sailor, named Robertson, in a tolbooth, which enables any man to marry as many wives as he pleases without being subject to the laws, provided he can pew cure a bottle of good Scotch whiskey! Here the mock certificaes was handed to the Magistrate; the following is a literal copy t " This Is to sartifye that F.adwerd Burke, Sargent of light company Royal Scots, hand Dorelhe Fleming, both singei people of the leer Colton, according to the law of sanguinanimity, have been married by me, " JOSEPH ROBERTSON. " Witness, Serjeant Clarke." After the marriage had been solemnized, the evening was spot in dancing and carousing. He, considering the marriage was an act of accommodation, did not sleep with the defendant that night ; and next day she came to the Barracks, and behaved in the most outrageous manner, demanding her conjugal rights as his lawful wife. He was very much surprised, expecting that she was to return to her friends as was agreed, and under that idea he bad been induced to give her the mock certificate. On his refusal to comply with her request, she declared she would ac quaint his Officers of her treatment. Fearing the corporal punish ment that he would inevitably receive, had it been made known to the Officers of his Regiment, he, instead of going to Ireland with the same, provided two substitutes and left them, pro- , ceeded to England, and was recommended by the late Duke of Kent to Mr. Firth, the King's carpenter, and by whom he was I eat to work at Kensington Palace, where he continued four years. His soi-disant wife pursued him thither, and created a great dis- Whence at the Palace, and he was obliged to procure a lodging I ke her in Westminster, where she was delivered of a male child, 1 which was placed out at nurse and she went into service; but only remained a short time when she again annoyed him, and agreed if be would give her five guineas she would return to Scotland. This he willingly did, in hopes he should get rid of her; but, alas! in a few weeks she again made her appearance, and resumed her former demand, and on his refusal, she created a considerable disturbance, and caused him to be ridiculed by the other workmen. She was in the constant practice of doing so, and yesterday morning she came as usual and commenced a violent attack on him with her fists, when he was induced to give her in custody. This was the nature of the complaint. The defendant put in several letters, which she had received 1 at various times from the complainant, which were read by the Magistrates, and in which he addressed her as his dear, dear wife, and his behoved The Magistrate said, by the epistles just read he clearly admit ted her to be his wife, and therefore he advised them to settle matters, and live together amicably. Mr. Burke refused to do so, upon Which the Magistrate dis missed the complaint. ANOTITER RECORDER'S REPORT, Yesterday, the RECORDER made his Report to his MAJESTY in Council, of the prisoners who were ca pitally convicted at the October Sessions, when the following were ordered for execution on Tuesday, the 27th Instant : .ebto Na'ris, for a robbery in a dwelling-house, attended With violence. 4Mey Stele, for a like offence.

HARD DRINKING.—There is now living in Annan a stone-cutter and painter, in his 57th year, in good health, although within the last 36 years he has drank, on a moderate computation, no less than. 2500 gal lons of whiskey ! SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—There are now no fewer than four Ladies SHEFFIELD living, viz. Lady SHEFFIELD, the widow of Lord SHEFFIELD ; Lady SHEFFIELD, the widow of Sir JOHN SHEFFIELD, OE Cookindge, near Leeds, in Yorkshire; Lady Sant: FIELD, the widow of the late Rev. Sir ROBERT SHEF FIELD, Rector of Burton, in Lincolnshire, and who was a grand-daughter of Alderman KENNETT; and Lady SHEFFIELD, the Lady of the present Sir R. SHEFFIELD, of Portland-place, daughter of Mr. Nag.. BOLT, who, for some years, held an appointment in the East Indies. _ _ WAYS AND MEANS.—A young girl, in the neigh. bourhood of Glasgow, in the prospect of marriage, being unable to find money to purchase wedding clothes, a few days ago actually submitted to the operation of having five front teeth drawn, for which she received five guineas, and purchased the neces sary articles! A few days ago, at the baptism of a child near Annan, who was a twin (the other having died), there met on the occasion five gossips who had all recently' been delivered of twins, and two of the said gossips were themselves twins. _ _ A shocking accident occurred on Saturday last, to the infant child of George Morgan, of Windsor, who, being left without proper care, approached too near the fire, and was burnt to death. The father was lying in the same room, incapable of assisting the child, being helpless from a paralytic affection. A Lady of Southampton has lately been left a good fortune by a former admirer, whose addresses she refused forty years ago—a strong proof of sin cere love. A young man, near Lymington, eloped, a few days since, with a young Lady, who had not attained her fifteenth year. GEORGE Gars, Esq. has most liberally made a deduction of twenty-five per cent. on the rentals of his estates in the neighbourhood of Canterbury, due at Michaelmas last. Lords STEWART and DERRIIVEST returned ten per cent. to their respective tenants, at their late rent-days in the county of Durham ; and M. RUSSELL, Esq. of Brancepeth Castle, made a handsome return to his tenants, according to the circumstances and rentals of their farms. JOHN ORD; Esq. of Weetwood, and Messrs. BEWICKE and CaAwns', returned ten per cent. to their respective tenants, on their last rent days. Lord and Lady CLIFFORD returned their tenants in the parish of Irnham, &c. twenty per cent on their rents due at Lady-Day last, at their rent-day on Wed nesday se night. HENRY HOWARD, Esq. of Corby Castle, at his late rent-day, returned to his tenantry of High and Low Coniscliff, fifteen and twenty per cent. according to the quality of their respective farms. A Mr. GREEN, of Alexandria (in America), has discovered a machine for breaking ice of the thick ness of six inches, at the rate of three or four miles an hour. The machine promises to he of advantage in opening a passage for ships frozen, or in clearing canals. About 14,000 sheep, the greater part of them fat, were offered for sale on the market-day at Wakefield, in Yorkshire, not more than half of which were sold, and whose prices did not exceed four-pence per pound. On the night of the Ist instant, the house of Mrs. JOHNSON, at Everton, was entered by four men, and robbed of a large sum of money and other property. The singular circumstances under which the act was committed are worthy of record. In order to obtain admittance, they scratched at the door, after the manner of a dog. It was unsuspectingly opened by the female servant. They entered ; and declaring that they did not purpose any violence towards her, they put her in the pantry ; and while one of them re mained below to keep watch, the others went up stairs. They found Mrs. JOHNSON in bed ; told her not te be alarmed, no personal injury being meant, her money only being what they sought. The Lady, with much presence of mind, on observing their intentions, se cured, unperceived, a gold watch, which she had at hand, under her night-clothes. They handed her to an arm-chair, and asked for some wine. In going for it, she contrived to pass the fire-place, and throwing the watch among the shavings in the grate, preserved it. They then sat down, and conversed freely with her for some time. One of them, of genteel dress and manner, shewed her a number of &Ise keys, and de scribed to her their several uses. He remarked, that a person of her rank, must have a watch ; for which they searched her bed, but did not offer to search her person. After robbing the house of money to a large amount, including a Bank-post•bill of fifty pounds, r specially endorsed, they politely bade Mrs. Jon warm good night, and departed. They soon after returned, saying at the door that they had forgotten something; but the servant denied them admittance. They were detected at Birmingham, upon presenting the bill al luded to; brought to Liverpool, and fully committed for trial. 00,000 Money in Shareshy CARROLL.—No.II,4B6, Drawn at Nine o'Clock This Morning a Prise?'
