run NITIONAL REdSTER. MARCH 11. . -DRAMATIC REGISTER. • DRURY LANK T.,ast night was revived at this Theatre the comic opera of Hoc4f. As this puerile duction has so long slept u udisttirbed on the Mat)agers shelf, we can see no good rea son for having disturbed its repose; unless indeed it were, that many of the musical pieces with which it is interspersed afford such a prolific field for the display of vocal excellence, as we witne , sed .in Mrs MouNT itN, -Mrs. DicKoNs. Mr. PYF Es Mr. -1. Ira, Mr. BELL A MY, and that favourite child of song Mr. BR AHA M, who obtained and deserved eiterated plaudits. The duet The Stag through the Forest, r ut , gbv him a:id W.. BELLA MY, without an accompaniment, •comhined such exquisite meody, realscience, and brilliancy of execution, as produced repeated cries of bravo and an unanimous en( (re. ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. On Tuesclay.,*the 2d inv. a di:qite arose between SaMuel Salmons, o` wardstone, Sutflk, and Thomas Nice, of Groton. During altereJticin, • the in , mer still:bed the latter with a knife on Ws left sick, so that his entrails cam.: out. He was apprehended the same evening, and c.nrri-d het:)re a Magistrate, who committed him to bury to take his t!ial at the n:xt A sizes. Tie toll awing melancholy circumstance occurred early on Monday .mcriting:lll . Palmer, a resp stable firmer, who resides near Chad . well. Essex,..having had. his grounds much intested by, poachers, who sodr,•il the game, formed the resolutien of attempting to detect them ; lut accordingly loaded his gun, and with on: of his men set out before daylieht, and cosning to the spot where he expected to nr:er with theie persons, gave his man the von, desirittg him to go on one side, whilst he went oti t` e other. Mr. Palme.r had not proceeded far be fore he fou:d it necessary t 7 get over a hedge, and.the man seeing sontebody, rot knowing who, it being dark, he called out, but re c. iving no answer, fired his gun at the supposed poacher, but who proved to he Mr.. Palmer hinitelf.- The shot passed directly through the heart of his master, who die ! instantly without uttering a word. A short time since a woman, who was in service at Hardley, in Norfolk, went to Halcs North to visit her child, about five years old, who %a-is placed flier?. She afterwards took the child out with her, and went to a pond in the neighbourhood, when she stripped him naked, and made two ineffectual attempts to fling him into the water; a third succeeded, but the boy struggled to the other side and got out, when lie implored the succour of Ins merciless parent. This detesta ble wretch had the further inhumanity to go to him, and casting him again into the pond, accomplished her purpose of drowning her off: sprite. She then returned to her place of residence, where she was apprehended on Friday sennight. When taken into custody, she confessed the above fiefs, and acknowledged the unceasing torment whiv;h never tails to attend the consciouit.ess of guilt, from the mo rne.:l of her le:v;ri e•: - .1!e.1 this nrsst atrocious murder. The offence hells/ cionmit , ed in Suffblk, she Was sent to bury Gaol. HOR RID M %IR DER.—On Wedneqlay last, an inquest Was held at Pert( he-.ter Cast (depot for prisoners of war), by J. Grigg, Esq. Coroner for the County, on 013 body of Jean Lectuty, a i priswer of war, who was most inhumanly murdered by A wattle Taruff, a fellow prisoner. It appeared in evidence, that, on Monday evening last, at . about half past seven o'clock, the pri,oners he;ng all confined in their ceiis, and moot of them preparing to retire t' bed, the whole cell was alarmed by the dece..std crying out (in the French language) " am murdered ; 1 said a dead man:" and, on the other prisuters' ping to his assistal.ce, they disk.overed the uttflutttnrite plan endeavonring to 7scape from his murderer, awl with both his hatids se oaoiting his bowels, - which were tilling out of a wound Willis!? he had received in the belly, five itches in low!), cx:ettlin,4 front the naval upwards. 01) the deceased's crying out, " I am a dea'l ma.; !" the murderer was he ,rd to Nay (in his native language), " You arc not yet ;read ;" an , before he ould be disarmed, he gave the d• ceased two dreadful itabs ot the back, one of which severed t.re of his ribs in two, ex chi; tle:ie is more fast you." The wretch was by this time s,"te.t, and the hlordv knife wrested from listn ; when, instead of expressing any contrition for the ho rid deed, he declarcd there were two more in the pri.,on whom he evould wilt to murder (in •ntioning titer iiame•), and then he could die happy. The pew' man lingered about two Ito•!rs and a halt, when he expired. It appears that the wretched, deluded nitin:erct - is a proiesed A thckt ; and he it id, for a very - trivial offence, P.rm,-d the dreadtul resolution of comrnittnig the ohne for ,everal weeks ; and •:o deterrnin a! was It: in li.s purpose, that he had ground the point - of his kiitte very situp, and bound the handle of it with t w'ne, which he waxed to preveid its siinping in his lia:;(1. The pitsoimrs ester, amuse ticrnr,clves in &Annie repre sentations; and the murderer had also, it appears, co..c”ived n ex cessive jealousy against the deceased on account of his superior talent in writirg these little pieces for their stage. The &ceased was of a v ery placat)4e. tccoper ; and his dcatl; is so .netalbr re. ~~~ gretted among the prisoneis, that they subscribed to have his remains decently interred in the Enctlish burying-ground at Porichesici. He has left a wife and two children in France, A verdict of Wilful Murder beirg ferurned agiiilst Antoine Tardiff, he was committeti to Winchester Gaol, and will take his trial at the next Assizes.
