It i oat possible to convey an idea of the frightful con. diti , xi of dais u ifrivtunate man. When the Magistrate entered the ward, Lis time and eyes afforded sufficient evidence of the flume. !qua coat...viol* he had received, anti the difficulty with which he *74:misted announced lois approaching dissolution.

OR 3 Agarly on the above day. when informant was passing the church. pad of Nlerrirm, he was assailed by a party of men, consisting of lalursen is number, who, with spades, shovels. &c., beat him in a martt unmerciful manner; they uttered nothing but the words f• %We will pay you the rent." and at every stroke they reiterated thin unmeaning sentence. informant deputies% to Ida ignorance of baying ever offended any of the party, with whom he was quite on. acquainted, neither did he ever see them before, hot according to their appearance, he was of opinion that they might have been la bourers to some bricklayers raiding in the neighbourhood. Shortly after the departure of the Magistrate, .in operation was performed on him, but his use was so desperate that surgical as sistance, though judiciously administered, proved fruitless, and he died a victim to the malice of this lawless banditti. An inquest was about being held this day. Four persons are in custody, taken on the information of a woman who was an eyewitness of the scene, and who thinks the antipathy might have had its origin from the contemplation of Sheridan's calling. which this female in. torment stated to be that of a resume/ion Indic —Dublin &cc. rioter Journal, March 27. • lacaursT.—DgeaDrul.

' The Jury having been impanelird the evening preceding, viewed the body, which rendered an inspection on Saturday unnecessary. As we anticipated, nothing wu elicited on this inquiry tending to explain, in any vati.factory manner, the cause of the death of this hapless female and her Farmer in misfortune ; nor has any light as yct been thrown on a calamity which may probably remain unex plained to the end of time. Enough, however, has appeared to justify the vorclusion that the interesting couple had come by their death accidentally. At the commencement of the inquiry, one of the Jurors handed in to the Mayor a written paper, which he said he had a few minutes before received. The substance of it was, that a Mrs. Bagge had had a conversation with a man who worked at Captain Poser's, at Gurteen, and who had been coming into flonniel on the evening the deceased had been drowned; that at Dudley's Mil. (a little below which place the body of Lieutenant Close was found), he heard screams of murder, and a loud splash ing in the water; sad that shortly alter three men passed bitn by, whose names he knew. The 3layor sent for Mrs. Bagge. It ap peared from her evidTnee, however, that the whole of the above communication had arisen front public rumour, and that she had rot spoken to any person who had been on the quay that night. The Jury were unanimous in their verdict—" found drowned." The mortal remains of Miss Anna filubb were interred in the grate-yard it; the Irishtown, at four o'clock in the afternoon of Sa turday lot. PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE OP THE RE PUBLIC OP CHILI. Fellow-citizens-4 feel myself imperiously added opon en carry the standard of liberty to the Atchipelago of Chiloe. This ap pays to me the most honourable of those risks which I am at all times determined to encounter against the commun enemy of our independence. The dignity of the Government, the necessity of giving Integrity and unifoemity to the natural territory of the Re. public, the net-natty also of confitming Its seenritv and that of the other investor emancipated America; and. finally, the completion nt the measures dictated by the Legislatureorgentiv tall for the execii. non of this invariant enterprise. If it be ditdcult to explain the conduct of my predecessors, whose differences have afforded the op. prissors of our brethren in Chiloe sufficient time for obtaining the .kind and extern of Torre which they may new oppose to us, and • without which they might have been easily expelled, the mere autho rity with which the parties accused of so much indolence and im prudence were clothed, imposes upon us the duty of repairing the neglect. All the different nations, which, at the ovens' of so much blood, . . . . have obtained their independence. view with hjust. feelings of jealousy • and indignatiim this interesting point, which, situate at the entrance of the Pacific, might with still more facility than Critic, or l4an Juan de (tilos, serve as head quarters for the fitting out of new ex. peilitions, by which the obstinacy of our implacable enemies keep up, if not their extinguished hope of a certain triumph, at least their sanguinary hatred and expectation that the continuance of the horrors of war may paralyze the progressive improvement of good institutions, and weary nut the constancy of a people, who regard themselves as already in possession of the means of tranquilly con. anlidating their civil liberty. We should be criminal were we to Phut our ears to the respectable voice by which this universal cry is uttered. The re.inenrporation of this part of the Chilian territory interests us very closely. It forms the boundary of our southern provinces. We shall be seriously responsible to the present generat i o n and to posterity, if we leave in foreign hands this important key, and steam it that unfortunate portion of our compatriots, whose want of I,lutadvarritges of political regeneration deprives us of the recipro. oily of their commerce, and sepsis in the social state these whom molest , has geographically united. These considerations induced the Sovereign Congress in 1823 to ' decree the expedition for the deliverance of Chiloe, which the as. semblies of Coquimbo, Santiago. and Conception had previously sanctioned. Never was It more avesiale to me to be pl ace d at th e head of the .n.itional forces than in obeying this decree. To. morrow I derart to fulfil it. If the result correspond with ray wishes. I sha , l have the happiness of securing victory, though it should be at the expense of my life, and I should newer share those days of prosperity which the triumph should give to Chili. In fact, when our frontier* Sr. secured by the incorporation of Chine, a small number of "reran troops will be sufficient for our 'eternal security; and in proportion as the military influence is dmitsished, and the weight of the public burdens are alleviated, the revenue may be applied to purposes calculated to make the ' pest benefits anticipated from the revolution felt, end to repair the sacrifices of a terrible struggle and agitated period of lateen years. The regress of civilization and of sound principles will then find no obs.hcle to the extension of their influena. and the citizen will regard this epoch as the commencement of his civil enjoyments. .1 shall concur in accelerating this event, even though the moment of its snivel should be the last of my existence. • The Supreme Government is, in the mean time, intrusted to a body composed of citizens. whose distinguished popularity is well *Appreciated by public opinion, and whose civic talents and virtues palely merit the Milgment pronounced upon them. There citizens aim the Senores bon Jose illigth.l Infante, and the three Ministers Of Ault e, to whom I have most particularly recommended the task of superintending the preparatory measures for the meeting of a General Congress, which may at length he effected with that sue- I Coolul issue which the provinces ardiintly desire, without these *angers and disagreeable results which attended preceding assem blies, and which were calculated to render the sacred male of liongress hateful to the people. The division of the provinces epistlers to me to be an object of the tiro consequence in accomplishing this important purpose.

The citizens entrusted wish the piivemmei.t are eseeially chrged with this partition of the territory, bappy consequences of which, in the aggrandizement of the exintry will secure them the congratulation of every good Chilian. I should expect to offend that nobleness of nature, and that worthy pwtriotistn, which characterise my fellow citizens, were I to charge deem to preserve order during my absence.

Mr. Nicholas Bell, fir his Lordsitip'a aaaistance in obtaining restitution of* sum of money which the Managing Director (Mr. William Goundry) of the Equitable Tea Agency Company . contrived to get from him. His client had become acquainted with the 31anaging Director, who was a Member of the Socly of Friends. when the tierce was traveller for an extensive tea-dealer earned Nicholson, with whom Mr. Bell used to deal. The acquaintance was very slight, but Mr. Gaindry took care, at a meeting which acvidentalle took place afterwards in the country, to improve it, and introduced himself an a partner in the Equitable Tea Agency Company, which he nitre peated as abounding with the most brilliant advantage.. Mr. Bell was induced to transmit to William Goundry hills for upwards of 901. for tea, to which he received an answer. Stiltille that he had got his bill no 51asterman and (•o. discounted, and forwarded a chest of tea, 73 break, by sne'l and Co. as per receipt. The other bill ha had also given to be discounted, which. if not done immediate!), he would return. for the Directors would not send tea except for cash. All his client tectived of the tea ordered was one cheat. value about 211. or 221. and all him subsequent applications proved ineffectual. In answer to a pressing application, Mr. Ouuntlry sent a letter containing a number of shares in the Company, which, though stated as of considerable statue, proved altogether or— marketable. Mr. Bell was debited with the amount of these shares, and which were not acknowledged by •he gentlemen whose names appeared along with that of sir. (foundry, in the list of Directors. The bills were paid when they became due, and Mr. Bell was out of pocket by the transaction, and likely to remain so, unless the Lord Mayor would interpose. The LOAD MAYOR said he perceived by the prospectus that there were to be immense profits arising from this Company (25 per cent. commisaion to shareholders on all orders procured by mem); and by Mr. Goundry'a letters (which were reach that there were to be no lawyers' bills to eat up the profits—(a laugh)—and that the shares sent in lieu of the balance of 711. or 721. amounted, upon the very face of them (for upon each of them it was stated that the holder was entitled to 5/.) to the sum of 1001. Besides all this, it appeared that the country dealers were the p mitts principally to be b.nelited. Ile supposed, putting all these advanteges together, that Mr. Bell was induced to take the shares. _ _ Mr. Tow I NO said his client would swear that he had never contented to take the ohares in lieu of the money.

There is nobody on the premites but a poor blind man. He then read a letter from Mr. thrundry, evidently written with a view to impress Mr. Bell's mind with • favourable opinion of the Company. The Lwow MAYOR gave some directions to Mr. Bell', So lieittw upon the subject, declaring at the same time, that he would most willingly 'mist in procuring the amount of the money which had been ao imprudently loaf AO( of. GUILDHALL. James Wolfe man brought up for re-examination yesterday, on susptcion of having committed numerous robberies in the vicinity of the Royal Exchange. . . . . _ . . Mr. James Iladdan, jun. attended and identified two of the boots found upon the prisoner as his property. Mr. Bland, one of the proprietors of Garraway's coffee-housv, said he had but a few minutes before observed a notice in a news. tiaper of the first examination of the prisoner, and he was not pre pared to make any charge against him at present; but between lour and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon all the waiters' clothes, and some other property, had been carried away by two boys, who were suppo►ed to have entered and escaped by the attic windows . If the prisoner should be remanded. he would most probably be identified. On the same afternoon the premises of Memo% 31artin, Stone, and Co. in Lombard -street, were broken into in precisely the same manner, and the contents of the upper rooms thoroughly ransacked. A selection of the property was carried off by the thieves. Heskerh, the City officer, stated, that in the course of last week a tobacconist's in Lombard -street, and Tont's coffee-house in Corn hill, received a similar eisitatidir. Sinith. the beadle of Cheap %Ward, said he had Wolfe in his cus tody a short time ago, having been found in the upper part of the house of Mr. Saunderson, in the Old Jewry, to whim he had gained access over the roofs of other building., but he then escaped punishment. Mr. Alderman (lARIATT said that under these circumstances he would certainly remand the prisoner far further exatti;liation. BOW-STREET. A man named Wedgebury, well known as a conductor of dog fights, bull-bsiis, rat killing, and other elegant sports, which some of our "Corinthian Capitals of polished society" delight to patronise, was brought bore THOMAS HALLS. Eq. an Tuesday evenii-g, charged by a 31r. lux, a broker, in Earle -street, with a violent amok. ..... It appeared from the statement of Mr. Fox and his man, that Wedgebury occupied some rooms in Green Dragon-yard, St. Hiles s. where he and his assistants. his bear, his badger. and his hull.doga, and the other brutes of establishment, eat, drink, and sleep in perfect amity together. Wedgebury had hired these rooms of a man who was himself an uniler-tenant, and to him he paid the rent; but the under tenant was arrested and sent to prison, and then the original landlord came to him for the rent of the premises for the whole of the time that he had occupied them. liredgebury, however. said hr had paid one man, and he wocid be d—d if he parted with his money a second time far the same thing. Repealed applications meeting with the Fame answer, the landlord empowered Mr. Fox to levy a distress upon IVedgebury's goods and chattels; and on Tuesday morning he went with his man and his warrant, but met with a reception perfectly novel even in his unpleasant calling. IVedgebury's apartments are up a flight of stairs, and there is a dour at the bottom, which Mr. Fox found fastened. lie contrived with some difficulty to get the door open, and the first person he saw was Wedgebury, standing at the top of the stairs, who, the moment he sa . Mr. Fox. called out " Bill, bring the bear; they are come." The broker, having no desire to encounter such an op ponent, paused for a moment, while his man, with bristling hair, " nudged" him behind. and advised a retreat if his master did not wish to be eaten up alive. Mr. lox, however, possessed a little courage, though perhaps rather of a negative kind, and he remain. ed at the foor of the stairs until in about a minute a huge black bear, with a chain about his neck, made his appearance upon the landing-place, under the guide, ce of Welgehury, who held the chain. Having fixed Bruin, who growled as if in defiance of the besieging party, in a convenient position, he called to Bill to bring the dogs, and in a moment four or five 'sturdy bull-dogs, among which was Turk, who assisted in the attack on the lion Nero, ready for any mischief which their master might urge them to, made their appearance. Thus intrenched, Wedgebury laughed at and bade defiance to Fox and his man, and told hint, that if he had no desire to be torn to pieces by the dogs, or hugged to death by the bear, he had better " nash" (go away). Mr. Fox desired &parley, and proposed terms; but Wedge bury, krit wing he could have nothing to fear, except from an armed force, refused to accede to Any thing hut an Jneon ditional raising of the siege. Mr. Fox refused to stir from the place, and remained there for several hours, occasionally holding a dialogue, composed of a mixture of threats and intreaties, with Wedgebury, to the great amusement of a crowd of one or two hun dred persons, who hod assembled to witness the fun. At length Mr. Fox mustered courage enough to approach within a yard of the bear, and suddenly making a grasp at Ye edgebury's (who was then standing by the side of Bruin), he attempted to drag him downstairs ; but the torturer of animals knew also the use of his f 10.14 and he gave Mr. Fox a pat on the head, which sent hint will: considerable rapidity to the bottom of the stairs. Mr. Fox then' tame direct to this office, and procured a *arrant for the assault. Stevens. a tiol•ce constable, armed with the warrant, his staff, and a brace of pistols, proceeded- to the place, and found Wedgebury, with all his forces drawn up as before. Not choosing to run tie risk of a fraternal hug from the bear, or of being pinned by the nose (he possesses a very substantial one) by the dogs, he Owned the staff sad warrant, and called upon Wedgebury to surrender quietly. " I'll tell ye what, master," said IVidgebury, " I have a very great respect for ail you Bow-street gentlemen, because I knows as how you must do your duty, hut I considers that in this here instance I am in a right cause, and b--- t me if I'll be took by you nor nobody else, though you have got a thug (warrant) a. t en me, an you may as well Inarris (soothe, phrase for " go,") Stevens reniontotated upon :he folly of his resisting the civil power ; but finding that of no use, he threatened to shoot the bear at all hazards.

At this instant a friend of the horse trier caught hold of witness by the arm, saying that the horse he had bought in elf chsnge for his own was a kicker ; upon which he turned round to his brother William, who was modifier by. and arid to him, " Where's the man gone with the mare ?" He was, however, in clined to believe that the rider had taken the mare home tor him. but to his surprise he never saw either the animal or the man till he learned that the horse was safe in Rochester-row, Westminster. The accused refused to give up possession of the mare yesterday morning, and io consquence Lee took him into custody, when Mr. Sergeant SCllon, one of the Magistrates at Hatton-garden, referred the nastier tor investigation at the above office.

JEALOUS Loess —A tall, thin, meagre-looking man, named David James, a sojourner nom the principality of Walea. was after wards brought up, on a charge of being riotous and disorderly. Mr. Mills, a bootmaker. stated that the prisoner at the bar, he believed, had been paying his addresses to a lodger of his, but from what he had recently learnt, his visits were not so agreeable to the lady as they used to be. This 4i had been informed of, and or. den were issued to refuse him adfaittance. On the previous after noon, however, he by some means got into the house and the room of the object of his adonvion. In less than five Minnie% after, wit ness heard the cry of " alurcer !" and, on going up stairs, saw his lodger on the floor, and the prisoner, somewhat in the attitude of Sala George, above her, engaged in the laudable act of beating her and tearing her cap and bonnet. Upon witneas's interfering, the prisoner turned round, and broke one of his windows. Mrs. Margaret Jones, the lodger, who appeared full ten years the other side of forty. oext came in, bearing the remains of her bon. net and cap in her hand ; and after a number of sighs, stated that she had kept company with the prisoner for about three years, but finding during that tune that instead of is keerMag her, she should have to support hum, and having lately met wi, a more agreeable young man, who was inclined to marry her, she had told her former lover that his visits would not be. for the future, agreeable. In consequence of this information he became jealous, and because she w.iuld not give up his more substantial rival, flew upon her and tore her cap and bonne. She added, that it' he would promise never to visit her again she would forgive him, out of remembrance of their past love, fur the damage and assault of which he had been guilty. The prisoner, who was a sort of " riranie Anatomic," denied the taunt of his not being able to keep a wife, for he had been in a situation for these three years ; but raid, as she had been so on. grateful as to treat in the way she had done his fervid love, he would banish her from his memory, and would never go near her house aga i n .

MAGISTRATE--YOU must pay the person for lin window, and also your discharge. Prisoner—l have got no money. On hearing this, Mrs. Margaret Jones went up to the prisoner, and in a doleful tone said, '• Davy, have you no money."—" No, I hare not," replied Davy, sighing and . oglitig his dear Margaret at the same time.—" Never mind it, Davy, I will pay the money for you ;" and accordingly Mrs. Margaret Jones paid the ex penses which the jealousy of the disappointed Davy had incurred. MARVI.EBONE. A day or two since, Mr. Kean, a foreign lace-merchant, resident its Portman-street, Portman.squsre, came to the office, evidently under feelings of the deepest indignation, to complain of a violent outrage which had been committed upon the person of his FOll, a youth of sixteen, an apprentice in the house of Stevens and Croft, haberdashers and lacemen. No. 63, Oxford-street, by four of the shopmen of that establishment. From the representation 'hen made, Mr. RAW UNION issued a warrant against the persons ac cused, and they were yesterday brought up in the custody of Morris, and shortly after .11r. Kenn and his son arriving, the exa mination of the charge commenced. The defendants gave their names Hobe,t Join Dcunifin . d, John East, John Bcnnett, and Wdlsum Mrkalas. William Dennis Kesn,• a very mild youth, was tben sworn, and stated as follows :—My father apprenticed me about eighteen months ago, for four years, to Messrs Sevens and Croft, and gave one hundred guineas as preinium. I for the first twelve months was employed in the warehouse, and the remainder of the titre in the shop. Mr. Stevens is dead, but the business is carried on by Mr. Croft, who lives at Blackheath. but comes to the shop daily. On Monday morning last, about eight o'clock, d had dusted the wimp -counter, when the detendant East came into the shop and brushed and dusted his clothes ' where I had just been cleaning. I rebuked him for so doing, and he called me " a dirty gambling rascal." 1 said he was as bad. the then threatened to give me a thrashing before all the young men in the shop. I merely said " I hoped they would see justice done," meaning that he would not be allowed to beat me unjustkr. I went up stairs to dress my se lf i n half an hour alter, and IS was passing the room where East and the others were breakfasting, 1 heard him say, " I will flog him with this whip." I went' to my room, where two other young men were dressing, and after they had left, Eaarcame into the room. 1 was then undresseiLin my shirt, he had a whip in his hand, and struck me across the legs, using very opprobrious language, and daring me to strike him. I refused to have anything to say to him. He went to the door and called up the other three, who coolie into the room and seized me in the following way :_Douglas by the back of' the head and- neck, Denniford by the left arm and hand, and 11.innett by the right; they flung me on the bed, when East flogge.l me with a whip. I struggled and cried out, but he conti- mud digging until the blood flowed from my thighs. 1 told them it Mall ,11:1111aUl to treat me as they did ; I was dreadfully beaten, and such are the injuries that I received that I am covered with welts and bruises. Dlr. Haw Liwaow—Describe more particularly the nature of the injuries. I understand you bave been under the care of a surgeon ? —Yes, Sir. and I am using lotions. 11r. Itawt.titscoifltate where you have received injuries? The youth hesitated, and from his explvation, given with great diffidence. it appeared that in the lash of the whip were six or seven cords knotted ; and-in the course of this outrnge they were applied to particularly delicate parts of his body. Mr. Itavvi-iNsox seemed astonished at the extent of the vio lence. • :11r. Kean. senior, here said the boys ablomcn and thighs were in a very Brea Ail state. The Magistrate and Lord Montfort! (who sat on the Bench) re tired with the youth, and Inspected his person. On their return Last entered into his defence. lie recited numerous acts of din. obedience of the boy, who refused to obey his orders, and attend upon the cuismineta, and swore at him ; but being a youth, he (La,t) did not hke to strike him with his fist, hut cautioned him if he was saucy that he would whip him ; and the boy continuing his impertinence, he certainly did whip him. :11r. RAWLINSOW—Do you think you have any right to do any. thing of the kind ? E r t;st—why really It in necessary to do this to keep him in order. It was .11r.Croft ' s particular wish that if the boy was Insolent we should give him a good thrashing. Mr. HAWLINNON—Indeed 1 So your master, .you say, chitties toordcr his apprentice, with whom he has received one hundred guineas, to be flogged by a parcel of people who can have no control over hint. East continued to state some other grounds of childish pruvoca tion in extenuation of his conduct, when Mt. It awi.insow Inked if he meant to justify his.conduct ? East hesitated, and said something about the boy's intolerebl,l impertinence. The complainant declared he had not been abusive or insulting to any of thenr. Mr.. Kean, sen. said the boy had been threatened by the defen dants since the warrant was issued. Dennifuni complained that the boy had called him " a bully," which had an irritated him that he took part in the business. The complainant said Denniford went by the name all over the bowie. Mr. RA WLINSON asked Denniford, if he had been treated as the boy had been, would he not ''ec felt himself aggrieved ? Hennitord replied in the afitrmarive. Mr. RAW LI N SOW-0 yes; so would any of you, and come here for redress too. He certainly considered it a most shameful case. They had exposed this youth to the greatest degradation a young man could experience, and he hoped they would he prosecuted. 3lr. Kean—Sir, I assure you the they shall all be prosecuted, even at the expense of a thousand pounds, if necessary. The detence of the other two was precisely similar to that of their Com pan ions. Mr. Itawr.tssciar observed, upon ordering them to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions, that he was inonnished such a shameless outrage could at all be perpetrated in any respectable• trailer's house. upon his apprentice—the son, ton. of a respectable merchant, who had given a large premium with him. The defendants found bail during the day. UNION HALL. - - - - - Yesterday George lair:l7 builder, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with having fraudulently obtained ta sum of five guineas from Mr. Jones, • linen-draper, of High street, Southwark. The complainant nutted, that on the 14th inst. the prisoner earn. to his house, and said he hid sonic houses to dispose of at Hack. ney, the leases for which were then in his possession, and asked whether he was inclined to become a purchaser, as he should have • preference; coinplai ant replied that lie hod no objection, if the property was completely unenctinth,red. The prisoner assured him that the houses were free of all encumbrances, and produced a parchment as the origin t! lease sat the premises Complainant ex amined the document, i 4 !itch appeared to be as rep , esented. and the following agreement war hdtliwith entered into by the parties, viz.:— "I agree to sell Mr. Jones four houses in Temple-street, Hack ney-road, for the stint of 255/., finished for immediate occupation, with locks, bolts, &c. (Signed) " GEORGE FAIRFAX." Complainant paid the prisoner ten shillings as a deposit, and on the 17th a further sum of 5/. upon the production of the lease of the premises. when it was arranged that the fellowirg Tuesday should be appointed for the conviction of the purchase, and payment of the purchase-money. On Monday • !tat; 'litswevee, complainant went to hackney to view the premises, and in the course of exami nation mentioned to a person on the spot his intention of purchas ing the four hous:s troth Mr. Fairfax. • The individual alluded to said that Fairfax had nothing whatever to do with the property in question. Complainant observed, that the informant must be mis taken, for he could produce the lease made over to him by that per son. Complainant was, however, assured that the lease he held was a fabricated one, and that the original was in the possession of a gentleman nainol Harrison, to whom the rrisoner had mortgaged thk propery some time before for the sum of 21111/. Complainant, therefore, lust to time ii making the ne,:e , sary inquiries, when he ascertained the above fact% to be perfectly true. Harrison was then called, and produced the original lease of the premises in question, upon which he stated he had lent the de fendant 2110/. on mortgage, on the 7,h of last October 'l.ie heti- Howl lease was alto produced : it was precisely worded as the ori ginal, with the seals and the signatures of persons us witnesses who were not in existence. The Magistrate observed, that this was a new species of fraud, and called on the prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, to enter into his own recognizance, in the sum of IM/, and two sureties of 40/. each, to appear at the ensuing session• to answer the charge ; in default of which he was committed to gaol. PADDY'S DAY.—An Irishwoman, named Connry, and her son, a navigator, were brought up. charged with lin% ti.g violently as saulted Mr. Bramwell, the landlord of the Fox and Hounds public house in r-outhwark, by beating hint with his kitchen poker. From the statement of the complainant it appeared that the de. fendants entered his house on St. Patrick's Hay w a state of in. toxication, and called for drink, which being relined. exasperated the mother so much that she swore by her Patron Saint she would have revenge before she went home ; she proceeded into the tap. ram). and having armed herself with a poker, weighty enough to knock down *bullock. concealed it under her cloak, and walked to wards the bar, in which Mr. Bramwell was stand' rig. Having got within arm's length of him, *he drew out the ponderous weapon, and made a stroke at his head, which he very dot kilt' avoided, and it fell uptin his arm. Idc strove to wrest the poker out of her hands. when tier son joined in the affray, and, having possessed himself of it. began to strike at all who interfered, and gate some desperate blows before it could he taken away from him. The mother and son urged the festival of St. Patrick in extenu- Minn of their offence. They were both held to bail. It appears by the census taken in 1821, that there are a greater number of persons above 110 years of age in the county of Ross, than in any district of equal population in the kingdom. In the parish of Centin, three men died within the last ten months, one aged 99 years and V months, another 96, a third 94, and two women upwards of 80 years of age. convequence of information received by the officers of Excise in Inverness, Mr. Gardiner, supervisor, accompanied by Messrs. (hassle, Gowie. and Beattie, stationed themselves at the Canal bridge, near the Muirtown Locks, on the night of Monday last, in expectation of seizing a quantity of whisky expected in town. About twelve o'clock a band of smugglers, consisting of fifteen men and a woman, appeared with three carts and five horses, carrying 20 anchors of whisky. The officers announced their names, and required an immediate sur render, upon which they were assailed by the whole posse, and compelled to abandon the seizure. Mr. Gowie, one of the Excise officers, was severely cut on the head in several places, and now lies seriously ill in consequence.—Calcriunian Mercury. A few nights since an unhappy female; a native of Glas gow, in a fit of desperation, threw herself into the harbour of Leith, with a dash against the side of a vessel, evidently f o r t h e purpose of extinguishittg a wicked lire, by drowning. In this at tempt she broke three of her ribs. Fortunately, however, she was soon rescued from a watery grave by the activity of some of the watchmen near the spot, and brought to the Humane society's rooms, where the usual means of restoration were adthinistered with success. She was here visited by,one of the clergymen of Leith, through whose kind admonitions.she was led to see her guilt and danger, and became desirous of being admitted into the Magdalen Asylum. No sooner was this circumstance communicated to the Lord Provost, than his Lordship, with his accustomed humanity. gave the most prompt directions tor her admission into that excel lent institution. PCRPIGNAN.—A murder MIS perpetrated in the vicinity of this town on Monday last ; the person who lost his life I. sup posed to be an English gentleman. who had been making a pedes trian tour in the Pyrennees. His papers and money had been taken away, and nothing iodicated to what country the unfortunate man belonged, save that a hat was found 'near the spot, bearing the malc.-r's name. " Lloyd, London." The body, and particularly the face, had been so shockingly mutilated, taat any person who might have been acquainted with the victim could never have been able to recognise the individual. it small portfolio, containing a few botanical and mineralogical specimens, was also found; the only paper discovered was a small aecourt for board and lodging, partly in French, and a few words in English. The police was very active in their researches after the perpetramrs of t h e crime, but, until yesterday, they had not been able to effect a discovery. On that day a Spanish deserter, who stated that be had left his re. giment on the 7th Instant, and had walked from Figueras to Per. thus, was arrested by the gendarme.. The man wore the uniform of his regiment, and was armed with a musket and sabre. On examining his prison, several severe broke, were discovered on his arms and shoulders. He said that, on his road to Perthus, he had been attacked by a robber, and that in the scuffle vie wounds had been inflicted. No money or papers being found upon hint, the Magistrates were on the point of sending him bark to the depot from whence he had deserted, when a small penknife, with an ivory handle, was found conceaLd in his handkerchief; it bore the mark of " London." lie could not give a satisfactory account in what manner it had come into his possession, and cn that citron. stance alone he was fully committed to take his trial. HEMA N BODY POI'Nll IN A BOG IN A SINGOLAI PREM—The body of a man was found in a bog on the lands of Gallagh, near Newton-Bellew, the seat of C. D. Bellew, Es q . in the county of Galway. The bog was about ten teat and a half deep, and the body lay about nine feet below the surface. It had all the appearance of a recenbileath when first discovered, except ing that the abdomen was quite collapsed ; but, on exposure to the atmosphere, it decayed rapidly. The face was that of a young man, of handsome features and foreign aspect ; and his hair, which was long and black, hung loosely over his shoulders. The head, legs, and Get, were without covering, but the body was clothed in a tight dress, covering also the limbs as tar as the knees and elbows. This dress was composed of the skin of some animal, laced in front with thongs of the same material, and having the hairy side In. wards ; and it is not improbable, that it might have been that of the .loose-deer. Ile had no weapon ; but near him, at each side of the body, was found a long staff' or pole, which, it was supposed, he had used for the purpose of bounding over streams ; and, as the body was found near a rivulet, it was further conjectured, by the peasantry, that the man had met his death accidentally in some such manner. The antiseptic power of bogs is well known, and the frequent discovery. of human bodies in a high state of preserva tion in those of Ireland has been already recorded. The finding of this body woultfnm, therefore, deserve particular notice, nor would it, probably, have excited much attention at the time, hut for the singularity of the costume. And this notice is the more necessary, as the dress no longer exists, having been buried with the body_in instance of thoughtlessness of which the better informed in Ireland are ashamed. The antiqutty of these remains is shown by the great depth bog under stitch they lay ; but as the growth of bog must depend nn various circumstances, as situation, humidity, soil. Sm. that fact alone can give us no certain criterion of its age. On this point, perhaps, the rude dress in which the body wait clothed, is likely to afford mote satisfactoty ground for conjecture. That it belonged to a period antecedent to the arrival of the English, may he con. eluded from the evidence of Oirahl Batty, who says that the Irish were but lightly clad in woollen garments, barbarously shaped, and for the toast part black, because the sheep of that country were usually of that colour : and, from the spirit of that author's work, we have little reason to suppose, that it any portion of the Irish in his time had been clothed in skins, he would have failed to have noticed it. From these circumatatices, it is conjectured that the body was that of one of the Belgic inhabitants of Ireland, as it was in a district unquestionably inhabited by theta, and the close skin dress seems to have been used by them.
