In the trial of Mr. STUMM, on Monday last, the following letter; written by Sir ALEXANDER BOSWELL after he had received the fatal challenge, vnui read. It was addressed to Mr. It. MACONOCDIE, whom it invited to become his . sccond in case the duel, as first proposed, should take place on the Continent: (Private.) " Edinburgh, 14th March, 1822. " Mr nsan Maconocattz—l received your very kind note, but wits so worn out, and just setting out, that I could not come td see you, and it was too late to appoint you to come to me. " I must now address you on a subject of a delicate nature, which' I do from a confidence in your friendship. " About ten days ago, Mr, Stuart, of Ounearn, went to Glas gow, and, by the instrumentality of certain persons, ope for merly a partner in the Clydesdale Journal (now the Sentinel), broke open the Editor's desk, and carried off his papers; and, I under stand, amongst others, some squibs in my band-writing. Last night, on my arrival, I received a letter from Lord Rosslyn, that he wished me to appoint an hour as early at possible, that he might make a communication to me : this, I suppose, is in re- ference to some of these squibs. I do not know who the of fended party may be, but even if it should be Mr. James Stuart himself, I shall give him a meeting. In order, however, to ob viate many of those circumstances which follow such transac tions, I meat) that the meeting shall take place on the Conti nent—say Calais—and I wish to put your friendship so far to the test, as to request you to be my friend on this occasion. " I saw your brother this morning, and his Lordship seemed to think that you would acquiesce. If I had deerned it expedient to meet my man here, John Douglas would have gone out with me; but if I should be the successful shot, I should not like the after-proceedings of our Courts of Law, and therefore wish to pass beyond their jurisdiction. I know nothing of particulars yet, but write in prudent anticipation, and shall write again so soon as I know them. " I know this , is perhaps the greatest favour that can be asked of any man, but by this atrangement you will be implicated in less trouble, and you won't mind a trip to France. If my wish is acceded to, I would propose the meeting to take place about fifteen days hence, as I wish to make a slight arrangement re specting my estate, and legalize it, by going to Kirk and Market, so that you may write on receipt of this ; and if I must go sooner than I can receive your's, it is only a letter thrown away. " I am, dear Maconochie, your's, very faithfully, (Signed) " A LEX ANDER BOSWELL." The trial of Mr. WILLIAM MURRAY BORTHWICK, accused of stealing documents from the Sentinel Office, Glasgow, originally insisted in at the instance of the LORD ADVOCATE, and afterwards at the instance of his quondam partner ALEXANDER, has been given tip, and the warrant for detaining Mr. BORTHWICK in jail was on Wednesday last withdrawn, and he is now at liberty. At a Meeting of the principal Parishioners of Kil quaine, in the county of Galway; on the 10th instant, it was resolved, " that such was the distress in that parish, that ninety-six families were absolutely un provided with a single meal a day, and it was feared many of them must perish from want even before the relief could teach them." A Meeting of the Subscribers to the National Benevolent Institution was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday last, the Earl of DARNLEY in the Chair. The business of the Meeting was opened in the usual form by the Secretary, who was followed by the Noble Chairman in a speech which contained a judicious appeal to the feelings of the auditors.— Mr. HERVE, the founder of the Institution, mentioned several cases of distress which had come under the notice of the Committee, many of which had been neglected in consequence of the want of funds : he concluded by calling on the Meeting to subscribe liberally, and to endeavour to obtain the subscriptions of others. Thanks were then voted to the Members of the Committee and Secretary ; also to Mr. HEaVE, after which the Meeting broke up. The following lines were written on an apothecary's shop door, in Oxford : " Hic venditur Catharticum, Emeticutn, Narcoticum, Et cunne qucd exit in un Pr xter Remedium." A letter from Marseilles, dated May 29, says, it is determined that the Grecian fleet shall make a ter rible effort. It is about to set sail for Chessme, to attack the Turkish squadron, and endeavour to give some assistance to the wretched Sciotes. The Senate of Peloponnesus has directed this measure. From Candy we have very flattering news. Every part of the island is in the power of the Greeks, except Ca neus, and the great Candy fortress, where the princi pal force of the Turks is blockaded. Several sorties have been made to obtain provisions, but they have been invariably beaten back upon their works. The rising in Greece has now extended itself over Epirus, Thessaly, and Macedonia. They have formed six new divisions, under different Chiefs. DEMETRIUS YpsiLAwri, with 13,000 men, has joined ODYSSEUS in Macedonia, and they are about to march upon Larissa. They have defeated the PACH A of Salonica, ,who lost 300 horsemen, and escaped with a handful of followers. A large sum of Ant PACHA'S treasures, on the way to Constantinople, has been arrested by a small band of heroic Greeks, who attacked them with their sabres in hand, and, it is said, only twenty indi viduals of the escort escaped, the Turks having lost 480 out of 500 men. The fortresses in the Morea lave received new supplies from their English Allies. After the Opera on Saturday night, or rather on Sunday morning, the Marchioness of LONDONDERRY entertained the following distinguished fashionables : The Foreign Ministers and their Ladies, PrincessesCariati and Cimitelli, Duke of Wellington, Lord and Lady Vane Stewart, Marquis of Camden, Ladies Pratt, Marchioness of Salisbury, Lady G. Wellesley, Marchioness of Westmeath, Countess of Clare, Lady C. Bathant, Lady Fortescue, Marchioness of Bath, and Ladies Thynne. Hyde Park, yesterday, never appeared with greater fascinations. The day was delightful. The rides and drives were filled with fashion. The carriages ex tended from Cumberland-gate to Kensington•gardens at five o'clock. The Foreign Princes and a vast num ber of the Nobility were on horseback. A great dis play of taste in the female costume. The Ladies have ceased to appear in' the Grecian head-dress : flowing ringlets, shaded by light hats of white silk, and plumes of leathers, remind one of King CHARLEs's gallery of Vauties. White dresses decidedly prevail. Nothing new, except a disposition to introduce trains was ob served among jome Ladies of titled distinction. It was calculated that there could not have been less than a thousand carriages in the circle. VAUXHALL—Friday night (with the exception of the distinguished Party at Carlton Palace), most of the rank, beauty, and fashion of the Metropolis cen tered there. Indeed it seems these delightful Gardens e once again fated to be the resort of the fashionable, elegant, aficl gay. There were present— Lord James Stewart, Dr. Mirky, Countess Sfirewsbury, Miss Talbot, Lady and the Misses Lushington l Hoe. Wm. Barring ton, T. W. Beaumont, M.P. Captain R.J 3 eaumont, R.N.

Tna Hatuartuar.-akThe new Theatre commenced its second season on Saturday. During the recess the Proprietor has exerted himself with much indus try, liberality, and good taste, to correct defects ii the building that were complained of last year, and to supply such additional embellishments as were thought wanting. The sounding-board which, with all the decoration the pencil could bestow, was found heavy, has been removed, and the hall of the Thea tre has now a beautifully uniform appearance. The colouring of the interior of the boxes has been some what darkened, and crimson curtains fringed with gold, exceedingly well painted, adorn each tier, ex tending completely round from 0. P. to P. S. Be tween the fronts of the boxes small pier glasses have been inserted, which produce a very light and liant effect, and the inconvenience formerly noticed, that of the seats above the dress circle being throw* too far from the front, has been completely done away. The benches are brought sufficiently forward to afford every comfort, and the bow of . ..the boxes now offers to those who desire to 101 l 'at their ease, something very like the luxury of an arm-chair. In a word, no exertion has been spared to please the eye, and to add to the comfort of those who frequent this Theatre. The performances commenced with GOD save the King, which was sung with great applause, and the new candidates who assisted were greeted with the customary marks of kindness and favour. A new fareical sketch, entitled The Bill of Fare; or, For Fur ther Particulars Inquire Within, was then acted. It is a lively trifle, and afforded considerable amusement. It represents two persons advertising for complete establishments, of a very different nature. Solomon Strutt, a provincial manager, wants a company of comedians for :his playhouse; Samuel Stingo, a pro vincial innkeeper, wants a set of servants for his inn. Each directs applications to be made to S. S. at the same hotel, and the waggery of the landlord sends the out of place waiters and chambermaids to the manager, while Simon Stingo, who has no penchant for theatricals, is worried by a troop of players, who wait on him in all the fantastical shapes which it is their business to assume. In the course of these scenes the eccentricities of the parties engaged in the Theatre are whimsically displayed, and the bill of fare thus displayed, " Further particulars" are re served for a future occasion. The sketch opens a wide field . for ludicrous mistake and whimsical coincidence. Some of the equivoques are highly amusing, and one or two awaken recollec tions that greatly heighten the laughter, on the , prin ciple 41 that there is no joke like a true joke."—, The Bill of Fare was altogethera very sprightly trifle, and merited the shouts of approbation which it elicited in its progress, and which were redoubled at its close. It was well acted, and among the new performers which it introduced, Mr. W. WEST, who lately made a vei y successful debut, at Drury-Lane Theatre, was particularly distinguished. He prorhises to be very useful, and bustled through the little part assigned to him with great ease and activity, displaying by the way a musical talent, which found great favour in the eyes, or rather in the ears of the audience. A Mr. LEE, who is to be the Irishman, was favourably re ceived; and the efforts of Mr. JOHNSON, with the ani mated display of Mrs. W. CHATTERLEY, gave uni versal satisfaction. Several Performers are already announced in prin cipal characters, and should these succeed, as we understand it is confidently expected they will, it must be seen that there will be a body of talent con centrated at this Theatre, which cannot fail to carry the lovers of laughter and harmony most merrily through the season. The School for Scandal, and the Irishman in Lon-' don, were *the performances of Saturday. In the former, Teeny and Mrs. CHATTERLEY sustained the characters of Sir Peter and Lady Teazle, with great spirit. RUSSELL, who does not appear to belong to the Company, kindly volunteered his services in the cause of Charity, as the profits of the night were de voted to the suffering Irish. He acted Charles, and met with a most flattering reception. Miss SCOTT was a very pleasing Maria. OXBERRY made the roguery of the Jets highly amusing, and the Comedy went off with no small eclat. ,go young man named Mason (who had, for several months. endeavoured to obtain her consent to a marriage with him) on a patty of pleasure ; that she was plied with spii-its, and that abominable drugs were administered to her, and, while in a state of stupefaction, she was also induced to marry the young man at Woolwich Church ; that she returned to her how in Church street a few days afterwards, attired in an old gown (having left her home in a rich silk dress), in the middle of the night, in a state of delirium ; that medi cal assistance being procured, it was found that she had been ill-treated, there being several bruises on her body ; and that she died in consequence of the injuries in two days afterwards. The Parish Officers being informed of the above circumstances, requested Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, to hold an Inquest on the body of the deceased, and a Jury was summoned. Several witnesses were examined, who proved the going to Woolwich in the manner stated ; the fact of the marriage; the returning of the deceased in the shabby change of clothes described, and in a state bordering upon imbecility ; her death .bed statement " that liquor had been' forced down her throat at every public-house on the road;' and that bruises were discovered on her body. The Surgeon who at tended her was recognized by the deceased, but she could not express herself to him. fle administered medicine, and she was cupped and leeched. Affec tions of the head are produced from a variety of cir cumstances; particularly from anxiety of mind, which she appeared to be labouring under. The im mediate cause. of her death was an effusion of blood on the brain. Marks of violence appeared on the body ; but they might have been done by holding her down, as she was convulsed. The CORONER, in summing up the evidence, said, that the marriage was a mere nullity, as it appeared that it had been effected, not only by perjury, but that the deceased was married in a fictitious name. Those who were present at the marriage, knew that she ought not to have been married in a false name, and ought to have mentioned it to the Clergyman. Whether she was married drunk or sober, or whether a conspiracy had been formed to effect the marriage, and that the parties had induced her to take more liquor than she otherwise would, was not the question. The question for them (the Jury) to determine was, did the deceased die from any, act of violence, either of Mason or the others who were with her out of town, by beating, or administering anything impro per to her? He admitted that the case had a sombre complexion, and the parties might have had an eye to the property; but that question must be decided by another tribunal, and not by them. He thought there was not sufficient evidence to prove she died from any act of the parties at the marriage, or any one else. Juror—l believe the woman's dying declaration, that liquor was forced down her throat, and I believe it was that caused her death. The CORONER thought that to come to such a con clusion the evidence must be strained. He could not believe that they literally forced the liquor down her throat ; for such an act of violence would, not be per mitted in any tavern; they_ probably over-persuaded her. The Coroner expressed an opinion that the Parish had done their duty in having the case investi gated. From the evidence of the surgeons, the im medive cause of .the death was the rupture of a blood-vessel : how the rupture was occasioned had not ,been ascertained. In about half an hour the Jury returned a verdict, 4 A Died from the rupture of a blood-vessel; but there is no evidence before us to enable us to decide how the rupture was occasioned:' A melancholy; circumstance occurred on Friday evening in the brewery of Mr. HUME, the Grapes, in Whitecross-street. As one of his men, of the name of Guy, was descending a ladder,his foot slipped and he fell into a vat of boiling liquor. On his being taken out, be was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he expired in great agony on S.iturday morn ing. He has left a wife and family to deplore his loss. Wednesday, W. White, alias Joseph Zelley, having offered himself as a substitute to serve in the North Gloucester Militia, at Cirencester, and upon its being proved by the Adjutant, Sur geon, and Serjeaut-Major of the Regiment that he had been sworn in and enrolled for the same Corps at Stroud, as a substi tute for Chas. White, a balloted man for the parish of Avening, Gloucestershire, on the 13th of May last, he was committed to Horsley prison for six months, under the 42d Geo. 111. cap. 90, section 64.
