By Tire!Way are thought mat disloyally grown i• For 'ti. hinted to them on a bit of a scroll, To take care of the Crown—lie, perhaps, moult the Po'e. On Friday a middle aged man, whose appearance bespoke the character of a reduced tradesman, was found in Hyde-park, with his throat cut in a most frightful manner ; the blood flowed in a stream from the wound ; there appeared little signs of remaining life, and he was carried by some passengers, who dis covered the unhappy man, to st. George's Hospital, where he was recognized to be a person of the name of James Guy, who resided at ltt, Carrington-street, May fair, and was formerly in good circumstances. A short time ago be lost his wife, and was left with several small children, without sufficient means of support, which has lately reduced him to a state of the most mi serable despondency. Having expended all J►is money, and drained every resource, he resolved to commit the crime of suicide, and leave those troubles his mind was incapable of bearing. Friday morning, with the last twopence in the world, he purchased one pennyworth of milk and a pennyworth of bread, and having divided it amongst his children, he kissed them, and in his mind having taken a last earthly farewell, he hastened to the l'ark, and with a razor committed the above act. He now lies in the Hospital without the least chance of recovery. On Friday last, a female child, apparently about a month old, was found in a hedge alo►►gside the high road, between Sheerness and Minster, by a little boy. Mr. Kitt e, the Clerk of the Survey of the Dock-yard, was passing at the time in his gig, and he took it to a poor seaman near the place, who carried it to Sheerness to the Overseers, and they ordered the child to be taken the greatest care of till some enquiry was made. In the afternoon the unnatural mother was discovered in one of the passage boats going to Chatham ; she was imme dietely brought on shore, and the next day taken before A. H. Bradley, Esq. who passed her to her parish, at Camberwell. The child was well wrapped up, and two or three changes of clothes were left with it. Mr. Coleman, Surgeon, has examined the child, who says It cannot live long, as it has got a hurt in the back.— Caftterbury Paper. Three new caravans, on an entire new construction, .passed along the Strand on Friday, with the following inscribed on the footboard—" Association for the Relief of the Manufacturing and Labouring Poor." The in scription excited much curiosity among the spectators. An article from Auxerre, in the French papers men tions, that a young man and woman, in the Depart r.►ent of l'Gonne, who were much attached to each other, being unable to obtain the consent of their pa rents to their marriage, adopted the desperate resolu tion, on the 14th ult. of killing each other, which they effected in a forest not fur front the place of their residence. An eminent Quaker visited a Lady of rank, whom Le found six months after the death of her husband, sitting on a sopha covered with black cloth, in all the dignity of woe ; and gently taking her by the hand, he thus accosted her ; " So, friend, I see that thou hest not yet forgiven the Almighty." This reproof had such an elect upon the person to whom it was ad dressed, that she immediately had all her trappings of grief destroyed, and went about her necessary avoca tions. The helmets of the Life Guards are shortly to he exchanged for large hair caps, similar to those worn by the Grenadiers of the Foot Guards. The present hel mets are found to be particularly inconvenient, and more especially in windy weather. It is said, that when this change has taken place, they will thenceforwards be nominated " the Horse Grenadiers." Last week W. Cock, a carpenter, was committed to Thetford gaol, for breaking into the counting house of Mes , rs. Gills, merchants, in Thetford, on Sunday morning. Rlr. J. Potter, who is in the employ of Messrs. Gills, slept in an adjoining room, who, on hearing a noise, went to the counting room door, where he heard a person striking a light ; he took a pistol in each hand and rushed into the room, where he found Cock, who was then removing some halfpence from a desk which he had broken open ; he presented one of the pistols at Cock, who seemed to have surrendered, but on Mr. Potter's turning to see where the breach had been made, Cock seized held of one of his arms, and a long struggle ensoed ; Mr. Potter fired off one of the pistols, the ball front which just passed Cock's head. Air. Potter again got the advantage; when Cock threw up the sash ; Mr. Potter pulled the other pistol three times, but it missed tire; the villain observing this, threw himself out at the window, fifteen feet from the ground, leaving his hat, a hammer, a tinder box, matches, and eflixted his escape ; but was taken the same day.

The Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia have at length taken their departure from Aix-la-Chapelle, leaving the Emperor of Austria in sole possession. The staff of the two former monarchs arrived at Valenciennes on the 2 tst. Two British camps, it is understood, were to be formed immediately after the review—one at St. Omer ; the other on the plaits of Marek, at Calais. As the troops embark *ma the latter port, others will replace them from &. Omer ; and thus the whole movement of the Slimy will be accomplished with less embarrassment to the public service, and with more regard to the com fort and convenience of individuals. The English transports have been collecting for some sime past. The declaration or address of the Allied Powers to the French people, on the retiring of the Army of Oe. cupation, has not yet been agreed to, and delivered to the Duke of Richelieu. The discussion that took place in one of the conferences that immediately fol lowed the signature of the treaty of evacuation on the 9th, is said to be of an animated nature. The Minister of Prussia is reported to have proposed the continuance and consolidation of the quadruple alliance, and to have strongly urged the policy, if not the necessity, of such a measure. The Duke of Richelieu opposed the pro position, as uncalled for in the present state of things, as indicative of illiberal and unwarrantable suspicions of the conduct of France, and as menacing to her im portance among the nations. The Duke is reported to have uttered his sentiments on this occasion with great energy. A Frankfort letter states, that if the proposition of the President he adopted, for the military organization of the Germanic league, the Confederate army will amount to 1 per cent. on the gross population of Germany; or, according to the latest estimates, about 300,000• men, with a reserve at' half that number. This is apparently a great force ; but it is in fact a militia force, and applicable to purely defensive pur poses—if, indeed, an army of such a various and com plex nature can fur any purpose be rendered effective and complete. Newmarket,w•hich at the beginning of the meetings, n ore but a gloomy aspect, compared with former times, has recovered its spirit and attraction. More company has attended it than has been seen for marry years.— There was much sport and diversion of various kinds. That respectable veteran, Mr. Smith, so long an orna ment to the London stage, though in his 90th year, could not resist the enjoyment which the meetings have so often afforded him. He was nearly seven hours in his chaise a witness of the animating scene, and was able to ride on the course. On Saturday, J. Ward, a young man of decent ap pearance, was fialally examined, charged with stealing a Bank of England note for 401. The circumstances of this case arc very curious. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Simmons, tuibr in the Strand. On the i3tit of September, a man, named Morris, came there, and having purchased a coat and waistcoat, presented a 401. note in payment Mrs. Simmons. not liking to take the note hertelf, said she had not change, but offered to send the prisoner, Ward, to the Bank to procure it. To this Morris agreed, and Ward took the note, but never afterwards appeared until a few days since, when he was taken into custody at Narrow-wall, tambeth. In the interval between the disappearance of Ward and his apprehension, it appeared that the note in question had been stolen from u lady at Chelsea. Morris was in consequence applied to, and he said he was employed by his brother to pass the note. The brother was then taken into custody, and after several examinations, was tnlly committed fur trial, for stealing the note from the original owner. • . re. Simmons, and the brother of Morris now attended, an:l repeated their. firmer testimony. Mr. Simmons stated twit the pri ! saner had been more than II years in his service, and , up to the present charge had borne ii•most excellent character, and had at various times been intrusted with property to an immense amount. Ile could h..ve absconded with .1. or f)001., rind they had the fullest confidence in his integrity. Mr. Hicks, the sitting Ma gistrate, recommende.l Mr. Si mons to mention this circumstance at the Old Bailey. The prisoner was fully committed fir trial.
