POLICE. 114 ANS 10Y- HOUSE. .1. Calespiril, the person who, whilst imprisoned in the Compter few week! ago, made or seemed to make an attempt to destroy lihn , elf, was agam brought before the Loan MAYOR, on suspicion of having tattered a ft nee bill of exchange for the sum of 90/. Mr. Butler, a wile-merchant. residing in Fettchurch-street, was the somplainant. The prisoner. before the charge was entered into, exehired that he was most grievously treatetl i in being dragged up, and charged with felony, for a mere matter of debt. He was now, he said, ready to pay in this instance, as he had been in the foreier. The Lord Mayor said he regretted to see the prisoner a seennit time *pen a charge of forgery, but the charge must be in vntigmol. T.; progenitor stated that the prisoner cams to his house, and represented that he wanted a hogshead of wine for a gentleman who resided at Hampton Coon. The transaction was not con. eluded that day, and soon after the prisoner came and requested the loan of 1. lie promised to return the money boon, and left the b'l in question, as security foe payment. The bill purported to be drawn i.y Drummond, of Perth, anti accepted by A. Drum. mond of Lmdon ; and was taken in the belief that the parties were Messrs. Drummond, the bankers. Nothing was heard of the pri mmer until an officer apprehended him. The prisoner declared di.* the bill was a good one, and that the money which he had borrowed upon it should he duly paid. The Lowo AI Al'o/I said -that, unfortunately, the charge could rot be removed by payment of the money ; the only mode by which the priioner could clear himself was, by giving a satisfactory account of the bill. His Lordship asked the prisoner who was the A. Drummond whose name appeared on the bill. The prisoner, idler sortie hesitation, said that 31r. A. Drummond was a pensioner of Greenwich hospital. The LORD MAYOR—What! a pensioner of Greenwich hospital accept a bill for 901. ?—Prisoner—Vcs, my Lord, he did so, to sibl4a me. The Lulu MAYOR—Anti who is J. Drummond, of Perth ? Heim in the Highlands, and drives cattle. The 1.0 RD MAYOI assured the prisoner that he stood In a moat serious Pituation,and remanded the case, in order to give the parties an opportunity of making inquiries. A person who keeps a public-honse In Westminster, and who evidently laboured under very severe illness, came before the LORD ilAvon, to complain of the conduct of a number of the debtors in Wbitccrotisi-street Prison, by whose condom his life had been en 'lingered. He had, he said. been obliged to proceed against a Virman for the recovery of a debt, and the latter was now in Nrhlte cross.street Prism. lie sent to the complainant. under th. pretence ot . r.-oposing an accommodation. The complainant went to the pri. a n.tn.l was received by the former and one or two others, his corn. t a lons. they were conversing, he (the comphinant) was su.t le , .!y seized by a party of the prisoners, as if by concert ; his pa; fyrs were taken out t.f his pocket, and he was hurried to a trough rider a pump, and held down and pumped upon almost to snlriestion. He had been labouring under a pleurisy, and he sm..elt refuge in a house near the prison, hut the inhabitants refused to recei%e him, and he got home as well as he could. with a number of ays atter him. He deelsred that his health had been most se. e , L ;.•: m_iiired._ _ _ _ The Limn MAYOIII ordered an officer to go with the complain. ar t to I , !e prison. to requvAt the Keeper to give hint a full opportu rat itteattfving the proms concerned.

It appeared that she was brought to the latter pariah with a re. raft, pass from Bethnal-green, and upon being Introduced to the inverter:es, she stated that she should not become bunher.some to them. but only revired a little temporary relief, merely a few shil lit es to buy tnuslimand re-establish herself as on itinerant vender of Isle, cape. Upon Ode representation ltts. were given to her, and they heard nn more of her foe some weeks.

They went to Stamford re.o found Mr. Garland, but he had long since provided hint. sal! with a wife; and upon inquiry at Tottenham Church, it ap. ptier,ist, regularly enough, that in that populous village not a single .4 banns had occurred in the previous time womb,.

Yesterday a young man, dressed in the fist style of fashion. wu ehsrged with mitring his employer. Mr. Raphael, thO barrister, of Verilam.buildinga, (iray's Inu, of Balk of England notes to a vonstderJble amount. . . . prosecutor had missed norm several occasions, since the pri. sorer had been In his employ. Bank notes to s large amount b u t knowing the highly respectable connexions of the prisoner, and his getwitily attentive deportment during the hours of businees, he was the last person whom he suspected of those who had access to the ehrimbets. Poring the last month, however, a circumstance had transpired whiet more than ordinarily excited his suspicion that it must be some domestic depredator who had lately plundered him, and stimulated him to make those enquiries which have led to the apprehension of the prisoner. A few wecks sitter lie (Mr. R.) re. cei red money from the country. for one of his clients, and for safe (-wom" deposited it in his eeenttoire. On the following morning he found the desk unlocked. and from the cash deposited on the preceding day had been subtracted a Ihnk of England note for forty pouuds. Still suspicion did not fall on the prisoner; nor ass Jinni!l witnin the last few days that Mr. R. had the least clue to Barret the thief. Another sum of money, amounting to opinida of 200/., was. within the last few 0171ot:bets. revived under lock and key ; bet, upon the follow. ing morning, there was found a deficit of nearly 751. This was a loss too serious to be tamely submitted to; and, in consequence, dither. went to the Bank, to stop payment of the notes, of which he hard fortonstely . the numbers. Ile immediately ascertained that moot of thl! mites had been paid in ; amongst the rest was the one for Sot., stolen In March last, and which Mr. Raphael had given op for Inst. Upon the back of these notes was the indorsement, •• Mr, Olsten. 211. Polygmt, Somerstown," which the prosecutor artenteied as being in the handwriting of the prisoner ; others bore the address of •• Jones." at different places at the west-end of the town. The prisoner had formerly resided at No. 28, Polygon. It ass not until Mr. Raphael saw the notes at the Bank that he stesnemed the prisoner. t, e, the aims., stated th.tt het apprehended the prisoner yester day, at a house in Nelson.stmet,Csty.roati, where he had furnished apartments ins most extravagant style, at-d war cohabit kg with a traisleminied Ellen Lister. A large quantity of trinkets, fee. fur. nroted by the prisoner, was found on the premise*, together with • witer of amatory epistles. which bore strong evidence of the de. Itorion under which the prisoner laboured from the fascination of his fear fair one. lie was remanded for a future examination. . Dovqs, the driver of one of the Paddingtnn Insets. was charged nitn riesling a sovereign, brlongin to a Mr. John Lang. don. It being proved that the prisoner had clandestinely put Into 'Dispense a sovereign. which the ptosecutor accidentally let fall wbts alighting front the stage, he was remanded. 31ARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - ISIWOCILAR ACCCIATIOW.—Capt. T— was yesterday charged srlrh a ribbery under the tollowhig circumstances :—J. Hamilton, of !Vn. 1, Sew-rrreet, Broad-street, placard-heater, stated, that an the 17'h of Itlereh last, he was taking care of a lottgiog-house in St. Ilse, Ave. bviongibg to Mr. Wright. of Dukee-cou-t.

When the primsner was gone, anthems went into the peehmr. and looked into the claim, and niloted two plated talde.openna, two wine glosses, and about half-a-pound of sugar. While he was carrying his placard that morning, in Leicester. square, t t .• r !moiler pease!—he beckoned h iimand told hint he WWI the grudeinan who carte to the house in St. ?I ary.axe, on St. Patrick's day ; the gentleman dew Into a passion at the charge, and wtdked sway ; he f Mowed and give him in custody of the street-keeper.

M A RYLERONE. Yesterday frftgh Forret,* young man who had been in the service of the Luit India Company, from which he had been dis. charged on account of a paralytic affection of one of his sides, which disabled him from working, woe brought up under the Vagrant Act. having been found sleeping ow some straw under a pile of timber, in a mews in blarylebooe-lane. The prisoner stated that he had been in the habit gf sleeping in this *ay for eleven or twelve days, since his arrival in London, where he had come from Ireland in search of his brother, whom he could not find. He had enlisted in the East India ;ompany's service at the age of fourteen, and had served upwards of seven years, but received no pension, as he had not been recommended tram India. He had applied to the Alendicity Society and the parish of St. (like's. From the latter he had received • shilling, upon which he had rusted for the last three days. Mr. HAwr txsox said lie thought the best relief he could give him would be to commit him to the House of Correction, from which he mould be sent to his own country. Mary Dill, a middle-aged woman, was charged with an attempt at suicide. _ _ Howler, a How.street patrol, stated that on Friday last he went to accompany her to his uncle's house, at Chelsea, to witness an agreement for the payment of mutter due to him. On the way she complained of being very ill, and asked witness to go with her Into a public-house. She appeared extremely faint, and said she had taken a quantity of laudanum. Ile ran immediately for a surgeon. On his return to the public-house, he found that she had cut her stamsch with a razor. She was conveyed to IVestuninster Infirmary, where the poison was extracted from lacr stomach, and witneaa took her to kis own house. The prisoner said that the conduct of her son was the cause of her committing this rash het. She had taken the !WM' yrmn Mr. Pcarse's house, with which she intended to kill hers; if if the poi son did no: take effect. Her husband was a private soldier in the Ouarda. He was now on duty. Prisoner appeared much affeeted, and could scarcely speak. Mr. RARLIN;OI: advised Mr. Pearse and his nephew to go to the parish of .St.. Margaret's, IVestrninster. and have her as speedily as possible placed in the worklimse, where she would be taken care of, as her state of mind required. Mr. Han, from the vestry of Mary!chime parish, stated to Mr. Rawlinson. that Mrs. Hignal, the unfortunate woman so dread. luny injured by Pollard, was now sufficiently recovered to leave the infirmary. but the Vestry had thought proper previously to in. form the Magistnres, that they might question her it necessary. Mr. RAWLIxso,t said it was unnecessary to examine her. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, J. Lloyd, a powerful-looking fellow, dressed as a butcher. was folly committed on a charge of stealing a sovereign from Wtiliam Beauclerc, a gentleman's servant. Yesterday week the complainant, a very simple sort of personage, was walking along Old -street, and the prisoner was walking near him. They saw a man who was before them drop a small case, which the prisoner picked up. and found it contained two needles. '"fhis nine trust be a tailor, and I'll play him a trick." said the prisoner, and taking the needles from the case, he called to the stranger, and shearing him the case, asked him what It contained ? '• Two needles," said the stranger. The prisoner affected to doubt what he slid, and gave a knowing look at the complainant. The stranger offered to back his assertion by a bet. The prisoner re gretted that he had no change, and asked the complainant to lend Inn a sovereign till the bet was decided. The complainant said he had not a shilling. 1 . But you have a watch, upon which we can borrow the money," said the prisoner. The complainant yielded to the suggestion, and pledged his watch at a shop in the mllO - for a sovereign, which he delivered to the prisoner. The Let was then made, and the stakes deposited in the hands of one who appeared to be a disinterested person, when the case being ex amined, out popped the two needles. The stranger immediately snatched the stakes, and the whole party ran off, but the prisoner was pursued and taken. A fellow named (rocket was also examined yesterday, charged with playing a similar trick upon a gentleman's servant also, who wu minus is. The charge was not satisfactorily made out, and the prisoner was therefore discharged. DREADFUL MURDERS. The following are the particulars of two cruel and eold.blooded deeds [From the Cork Souther* Reporter. April 90.1 SKIBREREEN, APRIL 19. About two months since a wedding took place in the neighbour hood of Baotry, to which the principal part of the relations of the bride and bridegroom were invited; unfortunately the fumes of the whiskey soon began to be felt by the guests, and a quarrel was of course the consequence, during which a blow was indicted upon a man, of which he anon after died. The person suspected ab sconded and, notwithstanding the sigilance of the police (although it is an ascertained tact that he had been lurking and sheltering very near to this place), he has not yet been apprehended. Ilia wife determined on disposing of her cattle and other effects prepa. rotary to accompanying him to America, when opportunity offered, and for which it appears, by the evidence of her brother, she put together the sum of 354 All arrangements being finally settled, shout the Ist lost. she set ofTto join her husband.who was then under stood to be in or near Castletownsend, and being a stranger to that part of the country, she called at the house of a person named Collins Cambaws, who knew all the movements of the husband, in order that some persona of his family might aeenmpany her part of the way, and direct her to the place. Accordingly the eldes t son left the house in company with her, for this purpose. about four o'clock on Saturday fortnight last, and after escorting her about a mile (according to his own statement), returned home. The following day she was missed by her brother, who, it seems, had also appointed to meet her at the rendezvous ; and after the neces. sary inquiries were made of the parties whom she had last been with, suspicion fixed upon them, and naturally eno ug h, as no other person near the place could know of her having the money. A vigilant search has been kept ever since without success, till this day, when, horrible to relate. she was discovered, stink in a lake by two immense stones, with her skull dreadfully fractured in two places. The Cambaws, who have been apprehended, underwent a partial examination, but as yet nothing has appeared by which this horrible transaction could be fixed upon them. [From the DubHe Aforning Register of Saturday.] A dreadful murder was committed In the neighbourhood of Dublin. at two o'clock yesterday morning ; the unfortunate victim is the Rev. Mr. Irogon, who has been foe many yearn curate of Donnybrook. The affair is as yet involved in considerable myste. ry. The circumstances that have transpired are as follow :-31r. %Vegan resided in Sandymount.lane, on the Rock Road, In one of the row of houses on the left of the lane. The mils• inmates of the house, besides 31r.%Vogan„ were a man named Kelly tied his wife, who have lived for two years In the service of the deceased. These people, who aye in custody on suspicion, erste, that just es the clock struck two, they heard a noise as if of some nelson 6o the stairs; they at first thought it was Mr. Wogsr, but alter a little time Kelly got up and rent upon the lobby, where he was met by , a man who asked him If he had any money: on answering in the negative, the man knocked hint down. Kelly then returned to his room, where he remained for a quarter of an hour, being afraid to learn it ; during this t - me Mr. Wogan was heard to call out; Kelly, on going to 31r. ll'ug!tn's room, at the expiration of a que r . ter of an hoar, found him in his bed, with his skull. beat to pieces. No alarm was given by Kelly or his wife until four o'clock. The I wound on his head appears to have been inflicted with some sharp heavy instrument; a spade. which was found in one of the rooms, was brht to the police Mkt, as likely to have been the we a p o n employ; it did not, however, exhibit any appearance of bring used foe such a purpose. Kelly and his wit, appose that the robbers effected their entrance and retreat by a lobby window. No property is miming from the house; 111 r. Wogan's watch and purse were found under his pillow. It would also appear that Mr. Wogan was out of his bed when he received the death blow, and that be was removed into it after the murder was per petrated. Kelly and wife wederwent a private examination yesterday, be fore Sir Garret Seville, at College -street °Glee; they *ere from thence sent, under charge of the police, to attend the coronet's In. quest, which Alderman Mon:gomery proceeded to hold at the house of the deceased. Kelly has a cut over his right eye, extending down the cheek, as if from a blow of a stick or poker. FURTHER PARTICULARS. A Coroner's Inquest has been held, but nothing of Importance beyond the above inui transpired. The result, however, has been tuily to remove all suspicion from Kelly and his wife, who have been discharged. Another important fact elucidated is, that the murderers were not robbers—not a single particle of property was taken. On this subject we can throw sonic light. The circunt. stances, though they did not come out in direct evidence, were men. tioned to.day at the inquest. It will be remembered that a few months beck some men were prosecuted for the robbery of Donnybrook I !hurcli The Hee. 31r. %Vogul, on that occasion, identified the stolen property, which was found in the possession of the prisoners, who were sentenced to transportation. One of these, Kilbride, was the leader of a party who attempted to etteapa from the hulk at Kingston, on which oc. anion, one of them under sentence for being concerned in the attack on Mr. Butterworth was shot. Kilbride with a few others hurce , detl in effecting his escape. by swimming to the shore; he was taken shortly after, tried, and sentenced to death for returning from transportation. His aentenee was subsequently commuted by our Viceroy to transportation fee life, and under that sentence he new remain.; in Seagate. On Thursday morning Alr. %Vogul was applied to by some of the &feuds of Kilbride, to shin a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, praying a further commutation of the sen. fence; to this request Mr. Wogan declined to secede, and the ap plicants were heard to say (as we are informed) that he should bleed that night. At two o'clock on the following morning the unto. tonal. gentleman wax murdered. Two of the family of Kilbride are in custody on suspicion. The dectased WWI about sixty years of age, but a powerful man, and not oue who would be likely to fall without waking a stout resiatahce. THE BRITISH PRESS. STATE OF THE POOR. MANCITUTZR, APRIL 2L -- - We are sorry to have to observe that the state of the poor, throughout the whole cotton manufacturing district. continues to be most deplorable. Not only is the number, who are out of work, greater than at any forme, period within our recollection, but even a large proportion of those who are not wholly destitute of employ ment. are so far from having full work, that the insufficiency of their earnings, doting the time they are employed. reduces their families toped distress; whilst with respect to another large class, the hand weavers, particularly those engaged in the manufacture of calicoes, the rate of payment for their labour is now reduced so ex tremely low, that even such as have work can muesli obtain a pittance adequate to the support of natute. There is, therefore, the most urgent necessity for the wealthy to come forward—we should rather say, to use additional and renew. ed exertions. for the relief of that distress, of the termination of which, unfortunately, there does not at present seem any early pros pect. When rite sufferings, it is In their power to prevent, are cons!. dertd, we trust that that contemplation itself will be an ample re. eomdenae for any sacrifice they may submit to. We may add, however, that gratitude for the itlessinp they enjoy, and the com forts which surround them, ought also to stimulate all who have the means to continue their elFrits fee alleviating the wants of their destitute fellow creatures, until, by the revival of trade, those who are now unwillingly obliged to depend on the bounty of others, are again enabled to maintain themselves by their own honourable industry. In these observations we wish to be understood as referring not only to this town, but also to die towns of Blackburn. Colne, Bolton, Burnley, Rochdale, and others throughout the cotton ditfricts. WEAVERS' WAGIII.—A large number of the most respectable manufacturers of the towns of Burnley, Colo,. Blackburn, Tod. morden, he. are, from very laudable motives, making an attempt to establish an advanced rate of payment for the wearing of ca licoes, &c.; and to counteract the efforts of those who, taking ad vantage of the present slackness of demise! for labour, have led the war in reducing wages to suck an unprecedented point ofdepression. They are supported by a large number of the most respectable buyers of calicoes in this market, who declare that the measures adopted by the manufacturers for this purpose shall have their most cordial @auction and support.—/Ifowchester Guardian. (From the Lecds Mercury.] LEEDS, Arlin. 22. We do not find that the wants of the unemployed poor in chic town are in any material degree diminished. Their number de creasrs but slowly, and the longer they remain out of work the more urgent their wants become; partly becauee they have spent all their little savings, and partly because such of them as raise sup plies by pawning their furniture or clothing, soon come to the end of such resources. At present the funds of the t:',. , ciety are ex tremely low, not exceeding IW. oe 121., though the last week's distribution amounted to about 44/. ; and we must beg the public to bear with us. if we ask for contributions to carry the society through a few weeks longer at least. It is some consolation to know that the 30/. or 40!. which has been spent weekly here in this way, for some months past, yields as effectual assistance to the unemployed poor of Leeds as the 7001. or 00111. distributed weekly in flanehester affords to the unemployed and distressed in that place. Several of the clothing villages in, this neighbourhood have be come unusually active in the course of the present week. The sr. rival of another order foe the East India trade* principally for smart light fabrics, usually called ladies' cloths, has given this Ft, tial but salutary impulse to the manufacturers. In the cloth halls little is doing except in low-priced cloths, which make a great show of business, but prod uce lit t l e e i t h er f profit or return. One consolation however we have to offer, both to the clothier and to the staff-manufacturer, and it is this —now, thst wool has got to a coo. Berate price, we shall soon have a demand ; fur it is a principle of almost invariable application, that low prices never fail to produce a demand, and as there can be no security for a continuance of a brisk demand when goods are high, so there is no fear but that both the foreign and the home demand will gradually revive, when the manufacturers and merchants can afford tiara at low prices. Accidental circumstances may delay this revival, but it is as certain to arrive as effeet la to follow cause. The depression of trade, and its natural concomitant. the dis tress of the labouring classes, remain unabated at Bradford. :Attie business is transacted in the piece hall, and that little is unattended by profit to the manufacturer. [From the Alacelmfeld Herald.] CONnLETON.—Though our accounts this week will not allow us to hold out the hope of a speedy change for the better, yet we believe that no alteration for the worse has taken place. Things indeed seem to be in a very languid state, and some Impetus is re quired in order to incite activity : a general want of employment is comp!ained of, and we do not think that there are grounds to induce the belief that a remedy for this evil is near at band. A respected correspondent at that place. however, is of a different opinion, and we can only express our desire that his anticipation will be re alized. NORTHWICIL—There is a great flatness. almost amounting to stagnation, in the rock salt trade, which is likely to continue so at least for some time. SANDBACH —The shoe trade, which had been the main support of this town, has almost entirely fallen off: The largest silk ma nufactory In the place, and which employed about three hundred hands, is now gismg work to about thirty. Other silk works are totally suspended. The poor rates are quadrupled. (From the ManchesterGuattitan.) We are again under the necessitt• of stating, that the trade in this district continues without material amendment. In twist, and especially in water twist, the market is this week decidedly more depressed than ever, nor are there any symptoms of improvement observable in the market for grey cloth. There still continues some demand for the country trade, buttit is too limited to take off even the greatly reduced quantity of goods which is at present ma nufactured, and the prices. generally speaking, are ruinously low. Plytluce is so unsaleable, that even parties who arc desirous of buy ing goods have not at present the means of coming to market. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—We regret to state that our markets for foreign produce do not improve, and that the prices of almost every article are again lower. Of cotton wool the import this week is 1400, and the sales amount to 8,350 bags, at a depression generally of Ad. to Id. per lb. The export of raw cotton from Great Britain, for the week ending 15th instant, 1,177 bags, and in the shape of calicoes and twist alone, from London, Liverpool, and Hull only, not less than 7,081 bags. [From the Dublin Morning Port.] Distress at present prevails in the Liberttes of Dublin, to an ex tent, we state it upon good authority, unexampled at any former period. The number now out a employment, and therefore in a state of total destitution, in the silk, cotton, and woollen trades, amount, it is estinuaed, including their wives and children, to 20,000 persons! The sufferings of these wretched people are scarcely credible. The applications to the Society for Relief of Sick and Indigent lioomkeepers are altogether beyond the extent of their means toaffurd relief. So reduced it the price of sewing figured work in Belfast, that females can scarcely earn six-pence per day by such em. pinyment. CARLISLE.—Berween 70 and 00 of the poor men not of employ. went were on Tuesday lam set to work by camera directions of the Committee, in improving the balk on the sande between the Eden bridge and the nee coarse: and in several places in the suburbs improvements are rapidly making, in forming footpaths, mending the roads, &e. which contributes greatly to alleviate the present distress.--Curlisk Journal. [From the Glanron. Chronicle.] In Darvel, out of WI wavers. about 140 are out of employment ; and ly Newrnlins dare are 7:10 looms, and about the same propor lion unemployed. The number of the idle would have been much greaser, had not a spirited manufacturer in town, within these four weeks, engaged between two and three hundred hands, belonging ezelusively to the above towns. No out-door labour has been pro vided.i* any other mans ofrrlief devised for those in distress; but petitions have been presented to ',lr. Brown of B'aterliaws, and 31r.

An init.et was held at the London Hospital on the body of ltartlett, a labourer, whose death was occasioned by his being thrown down a flight statirs, by Anne Elliot, a woman with whom he ...dtabited. The deceased was returning home, rather in toxicated. when the woman, who was in a similar state, hid herself on the stairs, and when he reached the landing-place, gave him a push, whicit canard him to El down stairs, where he lay insensible, and bleeding front the curs and a wound on the hack part of his bead, causal by the fall. U'hen she had done it.. she said to a fel low lodger, " what do you think of that fora %Vett:countrywoman?" She then said, " You may lie there and die, you old A person. who lived near. being called in, fuund the woman endea vouring to raise the deceased, and with her assistance he got him on a bed. He then requested her to go for medical aid, but she re. turned:saying she could find none. The deceased was removed to the hospital, but died before he got there. A medical man, be longing to the hospital, proved that he found, on opening the cra nium of the deceased, a quantity of extravasated blood on the brain, which had untbithtedly caused his death, and against which all human aid, however promptly called, would have been unavail ing. The Jury, after a short consultation, ret u rned a ver di ct o f " murder,' against Anne Elliot, who was in consequence committed to Newgate on the Coroner's warrant. According to the untairtunate woman's account, die deceased had on the fatal day pawned their bed, and got chunk with the money raised on it. Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, as a country gentleman was conversing with a friend at the door of Mr. Hose, chyntist, High Holborn, he wart ran violently against by a well dressed young man, who apologised anti passed on hastily. Imme diately after the gentleman missed a valuable gold repeater, and suspicion attaching to the person who had just pushed by thielA, a pursuit was commenced after tire thief, who wu overtaken at the corner of lied Lirm•street, and throwing away the watch, which was recovered by its owner, he effected his escape. Mr. S. S—l—, of Lewisham, laic an eminent lion-factor, In 91d-street-road, who had for some time retired on Ins fortune, shot himself on Saturday. The family were alarmed by the report (tithe pistol at eight in themorning, the usual time of Mr. S.'s rising, and on his son going into his room, he found him reclining on the bed, bleeding freely. The ball had made an orifice an inch deep, on the right side of the head, but the wounded man was not dead at eight in the evenlng.—Evening Paper. TOTAL DESTRUC7ION OF THE ROYAL GEORGE EAST INDIAMAN, BY FIRE, AT CHINA. The following information was yesterday y received at Lloyd's t-- " The Royal George, Captain Timmins, was totally destroyed by fire, on the 24th of December, at China. No property saved ; but, fortunately, no lives were lost. The fire was discovered about half pest 4. A.M.. by the officer of the watch. It or:Kinated in the gun.mom,and spends° rapidly.that by a quaver-past hve every per son was obliged to quit the ship; previous to which they had slipped her cables,and she drifted down with the tide, clear of geveral ships, and grounded at the bottom of Whampoa Reach, where she blew up about 8 a.m., and by noon was burnt to the water's edge. The hull, and some damaged raw silk were sold two days previous to the sailing of the Farquharson The former sold for ten thousand four hundred dollars. The chief officer of the Royal George has come in the Farquharson." PURTHER PARTICULARS. The following is a copy of a letter from Captain Timmins, of the late ship Royal George, burnt at China, to the Committee at Lloyd's, dated Canton, Jan 1, 1826 : " Sta,—ln extreme ill health, and under the pressure of great misfortune,l exert myself to perform a duty I feel owing to the Com. mittee of Lloyd's, and to condole with therm upon the total de struction;by fire, on the morning of the 24th ult , of the late 80. nourable Company's ship Royal George, then laying at Whampos, in readiness to procr'ed to the second Bar, with the whole of her stores on board, and perfectly equipped for sea, where she might receive the remains of her cargo, having at this period eight thou sand cheats of the Company's teas on board, and some private trade. Shortly after the relief of the watch, at half-past four in the morning, the officer of the deck smelt fire ; an alarm was in. stand; given, and on li ling the tarpaulin from the gun room scuttle grating, the flames appeared in a heavy volume, which it wart not in the power of human exertions to repel. A hardy band was sent to the magazine, to throw overboard the powder. Assistance was quickly received from the Company's ships as well sa others. The chain bridles were wisely slipped. and the ship taken in tow, clear of others, as she drifted down with the tide. Vie flames now reached every coast head; in half an hour the spirit room burst, and the liquor mooing over the orlop, the fire covered that deck like lightning. All hopes were at an end. The men were summoned to the boats, but the brave officers and men below did not quit their post at the magazine until the flames were near the door of it. At half-past five the whole of the crew, as wells!' strangers, went orderly into the boats; shortly after the ship grounded ; the powder exploded and stove out her taws; the hull pared abreast the foremast ; she was destroyed to the water's edge, and there lay, the distressing remains of one of the finest merchant ships in the whole world. The conduct of all the officers and crew in this trying time was orderly in the extreme. The moat unde niable proof's exist that every thing possible wan done to save the ship, and the Committee will learn and feel with myself an honest pride in the information,that this awful visitation of Providence has afforded the most authenti: examples of the steady and brave man. ner in which the officers and crew, as well as strangers, did their duty in this awful situation ; and proves beyond denial there still remains in the breast of a British seaman an heroic self ' devotion in time of peril to defend and save hi, ship, which nothing I can appal : and it shall be my cure to collect such individual in. stances of it, which it is my imperious duty to make known. The mercy of Providence is greatly apparent, that no one man has been lost or maimed in this dreadful calamity. At present no sort of clue can be had by which it can be imagined how this unfortunate calamity commenced, but a most rigid inquiry is instituted, and every possible means taken to elucidate it. It may be well to observe 'hat the whole of the officers and crew of the shin have passages al lotted them in the different Company's ships, and all will, most pro. hably, be in England by the month ofJuae. The greatest attention has been used in guarding the wreck, and Messrs. Dent and Co. ap. ;minted as agents fur the under-writers, whose great exertions and prudent arrangements for the saving of the puns, &c. merit my per fect approbation, and to-morrow the whole remains will he offered for public rile, so that it may reasonably be expected that every possible justice will be done to the assurers of this unfortunate ship.
