He is frequently delirious from the wound he received on his temple. The four persons in custody charged with being concerned in the outrage, were to have un dergone an examination, yesterday, at Marlborough- street Office, but a certificate from the surgeons at the Hospital was handed to the Magistrate, stating, that from the dangerous state of the man, be could not be safely removed. and that he was not perfectly in his senses. In consequence of this, his wife was examined, who stated that her husband had informed her that he should know the party who attacked him. Mr. MAINWARING dispatched a messenger to the Hospital, who, on his return, described the poor man to be in an extremely dangerous state, therefore the Magistrate remanded the prisoners until a future day, giving directions to take Thayers deposition, if necessary, at the Hospital, Should he not be likely to survive. FutzemanAnd Scott, two active officers, are en the alert after Hackett, who is supposed to be the man who attacked Thayers on the stairs, when he en deavoured to make his escape. This man ever since the horrid transaction has been out of the way, but the officers have obtained a clue and there is no doubt he will shortly be apprehended. - pfonday afternoon, the Tower Hamlets Militia was exercised in a field opposite the Episcopal Cha pel, Cambridge Heath. During their evolutions, sen ile& were stationed to keep the ground clear, in doing which, the soldiers were frequently insulted by the observations of a set of ruffians and bullock boon, who had assembled apparently for the pur pose. At length one of the fellows assaulted a sol der by throwing tufts of grass at him, and using pat language, in which he was encouraged by his suociates. The soldier evinced great forbearance, still he found himself thus unwarrantably attacked, *ea be dashed into the crowd, and seized the ag gressor ; he then forced him within the line of thei sentinels, when a struggle ensued, and both went' dose, the mob still encouraging their companion.— The fellow extricated himself, and again mixed in the crowd; just at the time the Officers perceived the insult, and came to the soldier's assistance. Captain CLABE immediately searched for the fellow among the crowd, but was unsuccessful in discovering him ; however, a person that witnessed the insult gave the captain his address, who promised to have the fellow beist the Magistrates at Worship -street, if he could ware him. Tex INGENIOUS CutPatr.—At the late Clonmel Mats, Joie Barreit was charged with having, Oa de highway, robbed Thomas Fitzmartin of a 801. site. The prosecutor, a very poor man, was pa ssed of an ass, whic h he had sold for SOs. He re caved the price, and was found by the prisoner in Caber. They slept in the same house, and the poor lan on tht following day was stopped by the prisoner' w his road to Clonmel, and rubbed of this note. The trial was called on ; the witness stepped on the table, and noticed the prisoner's dress and appearance. l Be then turned his back to the dock, addressed the Jade and Jury, and r el a t e d hi s story, which occm -0 j some time. In the meantime the prisoner slunk kwards from the bar to the furthest extremity the Jock, and adroitly exchanged all his clothes with anther prisoner, named Edward Collins (who stood' indicted for cow stealing), and then quietly returned to the bar.

Gmerunne—ffeellt to be my duty to lay before ' you the copy of a letter which I addressed to his Royal Highness the Duke of York immediately on my arrival in England, with a Copy of his Royal Highness's Answer. I am, Gentlemen, your very obliged Servant, To the Electors of Southwark. R. WILSON. Regent-street, October 8, 1821. Sus--I have had the honour of receiving your Royal Hiab , lieges answer to my letter of the 20th ult. in which, after com plaining that I had been removed from the Army without a hear kg, and without even the statement of any charge against me I respectfully demanded an investigation of my conduct, either ; by a Court of Inquiry or Court Martial. His Majesty's .Ministers have advised their Sovereign to re fuse this request, and I thus find myself, after so many years of service, subjected to the severest punishment which can be indicted upon a British Piker, without being told of what I am at To re d. nd myself against charges, which, if they exist at all in a tangible shape, are studiously concealed from me, is evi dendy impossible. I can neither conjecture their motive nor by whom they are preferred, nor on whose statements, misrepre sentations, or fancies they may rest, whilst this concealment gives a sanction to every latitude of surmise in which malice or tofti may indulge. It is true I have seen in the Papers, and beard by rumours in society, a variety of things imputed to me, and suggested as the grounds of my dismissal, but I declare, upon my honour, that every one of these alleg Mons is utterly false, and that in every instance where the mention of names has enabled me to trace those statements to their supposed sources, . their falsehood has either been at once ex and acknowledged, or they have been disavowed by the • ties said to have made them. '!hosel who have proceeded t puuhh me without either trial, or hear ! ing, or accusation, ren r it impossible to give a more precise contradiction, until they Übe pleased to inform ate what I have done, or what has been whispered against me. But I once more earnestly beseech your ltuy..l Highness to in stitute, in whatever way shall be deemed the most searching, a rigorous investigation of every part of my conduct. Your Royal Highness is well aware, that before my dismissal, I was, beyond all doubt, subject to martial law ; and if it be now said, that lam no longer in this predicament I desire to wave all objections to the jurisdiction of a Military Tribunal, in order that no obstacle may be interposed to the inquiry which I court. - _ . _ It is with unfeigned reluctance that I again presume to re mind your Royal Highness of those services which you were formerly plsased to acknowledge, hut the strange Minden in which I am now so unaccountably placed, compels me to refer your Royal Highness to your letter of the 24th of January, 1815. and the documents to which it relates, in further support of my claims to justice on the present mullion. I have the honour to be your Royal Highness's Most obedient Servant, U. WILSON. Hone Guards, October 9, 1821. ths—T have to acknowledge th•• receipt of your letter of yes. terday, urging again an investiption into your conduct ; to which I can only reply, that having laid your former application before his Majesty, and communicated to you his Majesty's sen dments upon it, I do not consider myself warranted in taking any farther step. I am, Sir, your's FREDERICK, Commander-in-Chief. Sir Robert WEson. Yesterday, his Royal Highness the Duke of Yong held a Levee, at his Office at the Horse Guards, as Commander-in-Chief, which was very numerously 'attended. Her Serene Highness the Princess ESTERRAZY and family arrived at No. 5, Wellington Crescent, Rams gate, about seven o'clock on Saturday evening. In compliment to the Princess for the partiality evinced in the selection of that town for her residence, she was received with a hand of music. and :etches were erected in King's-street, illuminated with variegated lamps, under which she passed to her residence. At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, twelve rounds were fired from the battery on the East Cliff, in honour of her arrival. His MAJESTY, whilst in Dublin, paid a visit to the Female Orphan House, North Circular-road. His MAJESTY scent privately from the Park on Thurs. day, August 30, the day previous to his departure for the Curragh ; he was accompanied by the Mar chioness of CONYNUHAM. His MAJESTY expressed himself highly pleased at the cleanliness and excellent internal arrangementsof the Establishment. The girls, above one hundred in number, were all drawn up in the presence of his MAJESTY, and sang GOD save the King; it was an interesting sight, at which his MA JESTY was much affected, as, he said, they reminded him of the Orphans placed in similar circumstances, who had been protected by the QUERN, his mother. His MAJESTY was pleased to express a wish to be made a Governor of the Institution. He ordeied a donation of £lOO, and declared his intention ofgiving the same sum annually. One of his MAJESTY'S shirts was sent to the Orphan House as a pattern, and the girls have since been employed to make shirts for his MAJESTY. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, of the 22d ult.— " The Prince Royal and his Consort have been or dered by the Cortes to return to Portugal immedi ately. The Prince Royal is to be directed to go upon his travels, for the benefit of his education, and also his brother, Don Miguel. The King of Portugal has determined to give every facility to Portuguese agri culture. His Majesty is already in correspondence with Sir John Sinclair and other distinguished agri culturists in England." Extract of a letter from a ycung Gentleman to his father in Glasgow, dated Buenos Ayres, July 19 : " Yesterday dispatches came to the Government, an nouncing the defeat of RAMIREZ'S Army, and the death of that General ; he was made prisoner in con sequence of the treachery of one of his own Officers, and killed immediately ; his head was sent as a trophy to the Governor of Santa Fe. The death of this man, and the dispersion of his army, will probably cause a general peace; but, I should think, it will be one of no long duration. The country is now in such a state, that some great revolution must take place, or an im mense number of years lapse ere they can be at rest. This country is a proof that people half civilized are not capable of enjoying liberty." Extract •f a letter from Boston, dated Sept. 8: " We are informed that the American mission to the Court of Brazils has terminated, in consequence of the removal of that Court to Portugal ; and that the Charge des Affaires will shortly return to America. Captain Cobley, who arrived here from Aux Cayes, brings information that the numerous piratical boats have their principal rendezvous at Cape Tiberoon (the west of Hispaniola) and are very troublesome,causing great destructioh amongst the foreign commerce; in deed, few vessels of any description escape their vi gilance, 'and whenever they board a vessel they are sure to rob it.

In the morning; the *hole of his imple ments of husbandry were displayed hanging in front of the Drum Inn, as trophies in hdnour of the day.z- In the evening a considerable number of the respect able inhabitants of the place assembled at the Drum Tea-Gardens, when JOHN CoLssitait, supported by two of his sons, under a canopy of laurel, preceded by a band of music and Rags flying, and followed by his fellow-workmen, two and two, and accompanied by a large concourse of people, proceeded to the houses of the principal inhabitants of the place: and it was truly gratifying to witness the reception he met with from each of them. On the approach to each house the band formed on the lawn in front, playing Goa save the King, while the worthy old man was met by the head of each family at the door, and welcomed and congratulated on the respect shewn him by his neighbours on the occasion; on leaving each house three hearty cheers were given ' • and on returning to the Drum, he was met by the landlord, and conducted to his seat, overhung w ith boughs of laurel, at the upper end of a large booth, erected on purpose, capable of containing upwards of three hun dred people, where, from the liberal subscription of many of the principal inhabitants of the neighbour hood, he and his fellow-workmen partook of an ex cellent supper, and nearly a butt of beer was distri buted to those who chose to partake of it. On the CHAIRMAN giving the health of JOHN COLEMAN, a . bright example of honesty, industry, and integrity, with three, it was received and drank with universal applause, and a succession of toasts followed, viz. " The KiNo."--.. The Propricor of Walmer Court." " Lord Livitaroot."—Lady HARVSY and Family," &c. At intervals the band played several lively tunes, and the younger part of the company amused them selves with country dances, and in one of which JOHN COLEMAN himself joined with one of his grand-daugh ters with all the activity of a young Man. This sur prising character is now seventy-five years of age, and never knew a day's illness: inured to hard work from his cradle, it became so habitual to him, that to this day he could no more live without employment than any other man could live without food. He has brought up and educated eleven sons and daughters (several of whom are now living in respectable cir cumstances) without ever having received, and would even now disdain to receive parochial relief, he is esteemed and respected by all who know him. Friday evening, about ten o'clock, As two young men were walking down the end of the East Pier, at ltamsgate, they observed a bundle wrapped up lying behind one of the stone posts ; they took a up and unpacked it, when the contents were found to be a lady's bonnet, bath cloak, and a shawl; and from their not being wet with the dew, they could not in all probability have been there long. The extraordi nary circumstance was immediately made known, but nothing transpired that evening : the clothes were lodged in the hands of Lieutenant Wainwaan, the Harbour Master. On the following day, public no tices were posted, stating, that a Lady had left her honie that evening, about aquarter before ten o'clock, and had not since been heard of. The dress was car- tied to the Lady's late residence, and it being recog nized by her husband, there was too great reason to fear the unfortunate Lady had fallen into the sea.— Too much credit cannot be given to Lieutenant Woor.- WARD, for his truly laudable zeal and unremitting at tention, in sending the boats and crews under his com mand to search for the body, but their attempts were fruitless, and nothing was ascertained respectirrg it till about five o'clock on Monday afternoon, when the body of the above Lady was washed on shore on the bathing sands.
