Detachments belonging to the 18th and 85th Foot, and the Ist battalion of the .Rifle Brigade, arrived at Ports mouth on the 6th instant, from Plymouth, when they will embark, together with detachments of the 51st, 90th, and 95th Infantry, for the purpose of joining their respective service companies in the lonian Islands. Detachments belonging to the 10th, 1 1 th, and 88th Regiments of Foot, are ordered to Cork, to embark for the above destination. A Detachment belonging to the 7th Regiment of Dra goon Guards is ordered to march this morning from Lon don, for Ipswich. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) Major Drew arrived at Falmouth on Saturday, from Gibraltar, on his way to take the command of the depot 73d regiment, at Spike Island, Cove of Cork. The 68th Light Infantry depot, arrived at Buttevant on Saturday ; the 74th and 66th depots are also at Buttevant barracks. An order is issued that Port and Sherry wines are only to be drank at regimental messes. The. mortality in the 26th regiment has been severe since its arrival in India. Capt. Tretlennick of the 70th regiment is likely to he promoted to a Majority in that regiment, vacant by the premature death of the late worthy Major Green. Capt. T. has been 17 years a Captain in thatcorps. Lieut. Gold frap succeeds to the company. The Londonderry Recruiting Station is given up as a depot, and Lieut. Hill, 9th Foot, is removed to Ennis killen. Lieut.-Col. T. Harris is appointed Brigade Major on the watiof Major-General Sir C. CAmpbell, at Portsmouth, vice Lieut.-Cc!. Lord G. Lennox. Lieut.-Col. C. Aliddleton is appointed Commandant at the Maidstone Cavalry Depot, in the room of Lieut.-Co!. T. Harris. Lieut.-C:1. I'. S. Tidy is appointed Inspecting Feld Officer of the Recruiting Department at Glasgow, in place of Lieut. Col. Hastings. Lieut.-Gen. Samuel Hawker is appointed Captain of Yarmouth Castle. A very great reduction has been made in the Medical Staff of the Army, especially ou foreign stations, Last night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a fire brobe out in the apartments occupied by a Mrs. GRANT, at the corner of a little court, densely inhabited, close to the Mitre public-house, immediately facing the entrance into Sergeant's Inn, Chancery-lane. This court is known by the name of the " Rookery" (from there being a humble family in each room) ; and the fire burnt backwards from Chancery-lane with a fury that threatened the whole neighbourhood with destruction. Most of the inhabitants in the court or " rookery" were at home, but from the alarm of fire, and all the houses being built of wood, they fled for th e i r li ves i nto Ch ancery -lane. In a little time the Assurance Office engines arrived, but at first the water was not by any means equal to the requisite demand. The firemen, however, with great intrepidity, took out a large portion of the little furniture belonging to the poor people, and placed it for sal,t y i n Serjean't's Inn. The fire con tinued burning backwards until after one o'clock, and did great damage to the ba c k prem i ses of some o f t h e h o uses in Fleet.strcet. Indeed it burnt so far before being got under, as to damage the rear of the well-known Cock Tavern, facing the Temple. We are sorry to say that three women and a child were missing at one o'clock ; but hopes are entertained that they were out at work, and are therefore safe, This ex-monarch, who now leads a philoso phic life on the Banks of the Delawar, not far from Bourdon Town, was lately visited by Sir R. Ker Porter, on his way from South America, by the United States, to Europe. The ci-devant king received with great hospitality the English traveller, who found him living in a commodious and even splendid dwelling-house, constructed out of a large suite of stables, which had formerly been appended to a magnificent mansion, repre sented as quite a palace, which had been burnt down a short time before. " Many fine pictures, and other valuable property, were consumed ; but enough remained, saved from the fire, to furnish the present residence in a noble manner with some of the best works of the Spanish and Flemish masters. One of the saloons is parti cularly ,dedicated to sculpture portraits of -the Bonaparte family ; and Sir R. K. Porter, in s speaking of the collection, describes the bust of Charles Bonaparte, the father of the family, as the most impressive of them all, from the striking beauty and character of countenance ; it_ strongly resembles.that of the celebrated Antious. Joseph Bonaparte (who has assumed the title of Count. Survilliers), il,,slo:4'ing these things, did it with unaffected dan,i,loilptif comment on the extraor dinary destinieSief The living or dead originals of these marble portraits ; and Sir Robert remarks, that the same manly sincerity and good sense prevailed in his occasional observations on his own past and present manner of life. He has a large domain round his house, purchased by him ; and he spends vast sums of money in promoting cultivation of all sorts, agriculture, and planting to a great extent every description of tree, even from foreign countries, that can be raised in th e climate. He has redeemed thousands of acres from the waste ; erecting villages, and encouraging artificers, and persons of other useful talents, to inhabit them. He is universally respected ; and must be, what he seems, a much happier man in his present expatriated home,—the benefactor of all round him,—than lie could possibly have been when seated on a contested throne, however brilliant. He is fond of literary pursuits ; and having read all that has been published 'in the shape of memoirs relating to his brother Napo leon, he devotes his leisure hours to writing a commentary on the subject, wherein, with the impartiality of strict justice between the late Em peror of France and historiographers, he means to set the true statements on the one side, and the false ones on the other ; and so furni s h pos terity with, he trusts, a really fair account of that marvellous man. This, he says, he owes alike to the memory of his brother and to the verity 'of history. Whenever such a work is given to the world, it will certainly be worthy of atten tion ; and as it will probably come out while many witnesses of the times it tells of still exist, its accuracy must be subject to the same ordeal by which . he tries his contemporary biographers ; and the free voice of the public, weighing all the evidence, will be the ultimate pronouncing -judge of the real character of the deceased Napoleon.— , From a Correspondent of the Court Journal. WINDSOR CASTLE.-SEPT. 7. Changes—like some others which have lately taken place in this best of all possible countries— not "all for the best," continue to occur here. The Royal entrance to the corridor at the south east angle of the quadrangle has been the sub. ject of very general admiration, as it, indeed, well deserved to be, for it was tasteful and ap propriate to the massive uniformity of the build ing. Its glories, however, if they are not to be eclipsed, are, at least, destined to be obscured. A sort of portico, or covered way, is erecting directly in front of it, which, whatever may be its conveniences as a stand for a carriage, wiil not only destroy the uniformity of the quadrangle, but will also completely intercept the view of the corridor entrance from the interior of the great court. The general opinion of this new muta tion is, that it is the very acme of accomplished bad taste. The state apartments have recently received an addition to their furniture, and that, too, not of the most taking or ornamental description. His Imperial Majesty, the Czar of Muscovy, bath been graciously pleased to present unto our excellent Sovereign, George the Fourth, a very awkward sort of a model of the Saloon in the Palace at St. Petersburgh. This is elevated on a platform, the legs of which are concealed—as many other questionable legs frequently are—by a species of petticoat, or drapery of crimson silk ; the whole possessing pretty much the out ward appearance of a mummy-case. Of the ar chitecture of the aforesaid room I shall say no thing further than that there- are at least 100 better apartments in that part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England. But this is not the only article of household furniture that has been introduced within the last few weeks. It will be recollected that in the Royal closet, which adjoins the Council-room, there was a marvellously stiff and starchy full-length of the late King, the curly appendages to the wig of which were not very unlike pieces of lead piping, of an inch bore, and the legs like any thing but humanity. This has been removed, and a splendid full-length, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, from St. James's Pa lace, substituted in its stead. The works at the Round Tower, or Keep, , f progress" very slowly. The exterior has little changed in its aspect since the period when it afforded shelter and a prison to the captive Kings of France and Scotland, and the standard of England continues to float right royally from its battlements. A new private gateway is con structing at the south-west angle of the qua drangle. A►~nongst other " doings," on Saturday, I took a walk amongst the farmers in the market, and a more jolly and contented set of men need not be seen. There is only one report prevalent amongst them as to the harvest, and that is, it is very good, both as to quantity and quality. IL may be information to some of your agricultural readers to learn that a good bone dust dressing for ten acres of turnips will cost 30/. Farewell. " Behind the Arras." TIMOTHEUS QUAINT. A new building, to be called « The Pitt Library," is about to be erected at Cambridge, out of the surplus of the fund subscribed for a statue to that distil:- gu i s b e d orantieent of the University, GUILDHALL. llfary Ann Noakes was re-examined on suspicion of having maliciou,ly set fire to the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet-street. From the evidence, it appeared that the first alarm of fire occurred at nearly half-past nine o'clock on Sunday evening, and the two waiters depose that they observed the prisoner to be stupid from intoxication as early as seven o'clock, and the effect of liquor was working upon her the rest of the even ing. They had before noticed her to be partl) .4 intoxicated. About ine o'clock the prisoner went into the coffee kitch 1, where the house-maid was sitting, and borros d her lighted candle, saying she would return it, it without stating any reason feu borrowing • an to maid, after sitting in the eark a quarter of '. went up stairs to see what had become of her h . and found that one of the beds had been discovered to be on fire, and had been just extinguished. Mrs, Oakes deposed that she was in the bar when the prisoner left it, and had perceived no smoke nor smell of fire. At half-past eleven she ordered the prisoner to go to bed, as she seemed to be in con siderable confusion. She did not mean to charge her with being intoxicated, nor had she ever seen her in that state, though she had heard strange re ports from the other servants. The prisoner was very obliging, and conduCted herself with great propriety. - -' -.-.., The second alarm was made air -- ill minutes past 12, when Master J. Oakes, perc - ii'vyglistnell of burn ing woollen, got out of bed, 'azidlbSking over the banisters, saw one of the rooms on the floor below was on fire. About five minutes before he had heard a rustling, and looking out of his door, saw the prisoner looking over the banisters, just as he afterwards did, and having said, " Oh ! is that you, Mary Anne ?" she returned to bed. The prisoner, in descending from her chamber on the fourth floor, opened one of the doors on the second floor, and was the first who discovered the fire there. A Mr. Anderson, who sleeps on the third story, heard his door opened, and upon asking who was there, was answered by a female, " I beg your pardon ;" but it did not appear whether this occurred after half-past eleven, when the prisoner was sent to bed, and the circumstance was deemed favourable to the prisoner, inasmuch as she knew Mr. A. was sleeping there. The prisoner's defence was, that she was the vic tim of a conspiracy between a Mr. Daniels, a lodger, who had been repulsed by her upon attempting to take liberties, a Mrs. Goodin, a sort of confidential servant, and the cook, the two latter being compa nions in tippling, and the prisoner having recently caused the dismissal of one of them. Goodin was so dismissed on Saturday se'nnight. The waiter at the Hole-in-the-Wall public-house, in Fleet -street, was also heard to say, immediately after the fire broke out at midnight, that he supposed the cook had done the mischief. Hume, the waiter, now ex plained his reason for saying this : it was only be cause he knew she was a very cross bad-tempered old woman, and he had heard site was going to leave. Mr. Oakes explained that she was not under warning. The cook denied having been up stairs at any time on Sunday between the period of her leaving the bed-room in. the morning, and returning to it at night about half-past eleven. None of the servants, except the two waiters, could say they had ever seen the prisoner intoxicated in any degree; nor bad the cook been heard to utter any- malicious expressions respecting the prisoner. Mr. Daniels swore he was absent the whole evening, and arrived at the hotel just after the second fire was discovered. He denied having made any at tempts upon the girl, and what she had complained of was this—about a week ago, on going up to bed, he saw the prisoner leave the room, N 0.30, in which he supposed Master John Oakes was sleeping, and that there was an intrigue between them. He slapped his hand on her back, and said, " What are you doing here, Miss ?" and she, slipping under his arm, ran into her room without saying any thing. He inquired about her character next morning among the servants, and communicated some circumstances to Mr. Oakes; but he found the room No. 30 was unoccupied. Mr. Oakes said, a young Frenchman had been sleeping there, but he was not at home on the night in question. The prisoner had complained to Mr. Oakes in the morning, that Mr. Daniels had tried to pull her into his bed-room. The prisoner repeated this accusation against Mr. Daniels, who denied it on his oath. Mr. Harmer, on the prisoner's behalf, insisted that the evidence was inconclusive, and that she ought to be immediately discharged. Sir P. LAURIE said, that the vice of this age was drunkenness, and drunkenness led to all kinds of crime. He considered intoxication proved against the prisoner, but the evidence did not support the charge against her. He had personally inspected the premises, and had no doubt the same malicious hand had caused each fire, but whose hand it was still re mained a mystery. He would remand the prisoner till Thursday, when perhaps he sh ou ld di sc h arge h er , or at most, lie believed, hold her to bail ; but as Mr. Oakes thought he could produce further evidence, lie was bound to give him an opportunity of doing it. EOW-STREET. Mrs. Neale, mistress of an infamous brothel in White Hart-yard, was charged by Fryle and Baker, two of the Bow-street patrol, with assaulting the former, and interrupting them both in the execution of their duty. Fryle stated that on Monday night, about eleven o'clock, he was on duty at the English Opera house, %viten be observed the defendant and several other prostitutes standing near the box•entrance.— Ile told them to move on, when the defendant said, " I shan't move on for you." Witness then took her gently by the arms, for the purpose of removing her, when she seized him by the collar, and using the most abominable language, swore she would not stir a step. She, however, retreated into a neigh bouring public-house, and there renewed her dis gusting language. Mr. Thomas, who is stationed in the theatre, hearing a noise, came out and told witness to take defendant to the watch-house, which he did accordingly. The defendant denied that she had either as saulted the officer or used the language described.— She merely took a walk bef6re supper, and was on her way to purchase a lobster, when she %vas pushed about most shamefully by Fryle. Mr. HALLS said, her character was so notorious, that any thing she could urge in her defence would avail her nothing. It was well known that she went every night to the theatre as an escort to those un fortunate girls, upon whose prostitution she lived. The Magistrate then directed her to put in bail, and said, in order to secure the case going to the ses sions, he would bind over the officer to prosecute. 'I he defesidsnt was then locked up for want of bail. HATTON.GARDEN. Yesterday William Newill, Robert Dennington, William Williams, and James Carrot, who under went numerou s p r i vate and public exami na ti ons during the l as t fi ve wee k s at t hi s o ffice o n a c h arge of sheep- s t ea li ng, were placed at the bar before the sitting M ag i strate, M r . R O GERS, for final ex amination. Mr. Oldershal,v, a solicitor, attended the prose cution on the part of the Society for Prosecuting Felons, and Mr. Harmer appeared on the part of the prisoner Newitt. Twenty-three witnesses were examined at con siderable length ? th e su b stanc e of whose evidence was as follows :—Thirty Leicester sheep, part of a lot of seventy-one, belonging to a Mr. Neale, of Wardley, in Rutlandshire, and consigned by him to Mr. Thompson, salesman, of Islington, were stolen from their pens on the morning of the 3d of August last. They were driven by the prisoners, Denninf., , ton and Williams., who have beer costertnongers living in the neighbourhood of Saf fron-hill, directly to the slaughter-house of a man named Johnson, in the lidgeware-road, and having ' left them there in the name of Newitt, who is a butcher, and formerly carried on business in Little Turnstile, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and who, the eve ning before the felony, engaged Johnson's slaughter house for the purpose of killing, these men proceeded to Newitt's residence in the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, and called him out of bed about three o'clock in the morning. Newitt procured three or four butchers at Newgate-market, and taking them to Johnson's they killed the sheep, and got them ready for sale in the course of the day. Newitt then provided a horse and cart, and removing the fat and skins to Mr.' chandler, in Clare market, sold the fat, weighing 30 stone, to Mr. -, Sadler, for which he received three guineas in parr payment, and afterwards sent the skins away in the cart to the Regent's canal, into which they were thrown at Kew-bridge, but were discovered the fol lowing morning by one of the Bow-street patrol. Newitt next ordered 23 of the carcases to be taken away from the slaughter-house, 14 of which were delivered to Mr. Poeklington, salesman, of Newgate market, six to Mr. Chandler, of St. John's -street, Clerkenwell, to be disposed of on commission, both of whom paid Newitt upwards of 301. for them, and the other three were delivered at Basham's, St. Anne's-court, `'ardour-street. On the Sunday evening previous to the morning of the felony, Williams and Dennington were seen inquiring for Newitt at his residence. They were two days afterwards seen in the company of Newitt at the Green Man public-house, in Drury lane, where Newitt changed a 5/. note and paid them some money. After Newitt's apprehension, they were heard to say, that had it not been for that cir cumstance they had nothing to fear, and if they had money they would go into the country. They were apprehended on Saturday week selling fruit in Leather-lane, Holborn, by Limbrick and Hall, officers of this office; and Newitt was taken into custody at the Wellington public-house, Pentonville, by Morris and Bond, two of the patrol. The prisoner Carrel, who is a drover employed at Islington, was taken on suspicion of having opened the pens and let the sheep out, but there being no evidence against him, except Newitt's assertion, he was discharged. The other three were fully com mitted for trial. A hackney-coach driver, of the name of Barman, was fined 5/., and in default of payment committed for two months to the House of Correction, for as saulting a man named Young, in a brothel, in Phea sant's -court, Gray's-Inn-lane, the night before. FRENCH TRIALS. An action has just been commenced in the French court of a nature to excite a great sensa• tion among our sentimental neighbours, from the romance of the details connected with it, and one at least of the parties who are at issue. These are M. Persat, a ci-devant officer of the imperial army„plaintiff, and the. Baron de llamas, pre. ceptor to the Duke of Bordeaux, defendant. M. Persat, it appears, was among the'earliest of the Philhellenists who drew the sword for Greece, and distinguished himself by his courage in the cause on more occasions than one. In the month of October, 1821, he arrived at Tripolizza, of which the Greeks had just succeeded in destroy ing nearly the entire population—a few women and children alone had escaped the general slaughter. At the sight of a French officer these unfortunates revived to hope ; one of them, a girl of 15, possessed of considerable personal attractions, by name Adele, more especially threw herself upon his protection, and implored him to carry lig with him to his native country, promising to Tie his servant for the remainder of her life. MOVed by her forlorn situation, he complied, paid her ransom, and took her with hun on board a corvette, the Lydia, which ar rived at Marseilles in April, 1822. No sooner was the story of the young stranger known, than the sympathy of the public was strongly excited in her behalf. M. Reguis, the King's Attor ney, sent for her, and informed her that slavery was not permitted by the laws of France, that she was free, and might, if she pleased, return to her own country ; for which purpose some persons professing the same religion as herself were ready to give her their assistance and protection.— Adele, however, refused to forsake her deli- verer. It being inconsistent with propriety that a female of her age should continue to re side under the immediate protection of an officer of thirty-four, the Baroness de Damas, wife of the then Governor of the eighth military divi sion, generously offered her an asylum in her own house, and, having procured her the means of religious instruction, Adele in a short time became a Christian, her protectress and the Count de Villeneuve, Prefect of the Department of the Mouths of the Rhone, answering for her at the font. This event became subsequently the sub, ject of an effusion from the pen of M. de Ville neuve, entitled Adele, or the young Turk. There was one circumstance, however, to which the Noble author, doubtless from ignorance of the fact, did not advert in his'production, but which ' is the chief cause that has given rise to the pre sent suit. We have mentioned that the bene factor of Adele was as yet a young man ; it is but a single step from gratitude to love, and that step was taken. Adele, confiding in the honour of the man who had saved her life, and relying on his solemn promise that he would make be? hi; wife on their arrival in Vranee, gave herself up without reserve to his passion. The natural effects of this connexion were become visible when she was received into the family of the Baroness, who promised M. ,Persat to take equal care of mother and child, till he could ohtain some situa tion which would enable him to complete the marriage ; M. de Damas himself assuring him of his interest, which kventually became the more valuable from that Nobleman's appointment to his present post. Difficulties, however opposed them selves to the re-entrance of M. Persat into theuniy, ' from which his namoliad been erased during the troublesome times, and . li.orn some cause or other all access has been denied to him for the last two years, both to the' young Turk and the in fant ;, and at length all other - means having failed, M. Pers a t h as commence d j u di c i a l proceeding's to compel M. d e Danias . t o restore to him, if not the moth er , w h o is at liberty either to ac cept or refuse him for her husband, at least child ; whom he 114$ rQCO4IIIZed by the tlBia't. forms of law. The trial of this singular case, in the main incident of which will be readily recog nized a strong resemblance to a prominent one in Don Juan, is expected to tome on shortly before the Cour Royale of Paris. M. Victor Angier is retained for the plaintiff. Pierre Salvan, a cooper by trade, aged '27, was tried on the 10th of August, at Cahors, for having, on the 27th of June, 1828, inflicted certain blows on a farmer named Filhol, of which he languished till the 10th of July following, and then died. Much interest was excited for the prisoner, who has always borne an excellent character, and has long supported by his earn ings a blind father and an aged and infirm mother. It appears that Filhol had spread a report that Salvan was infected with the itch ; a quarrel ensued, which ended in a struggle ; Fil hol twisted his hand tightly in the neckerchief of Salvan, and had half strangled him, when the latter succeeded in grasping a stone, with which he struck his antagonist so severe a blow on the head that it proved mortal, Filhil dying within a fortnight. In spite of all the exertions of the advocate for the defence, Salvan received sen tence of hard labour for life, a judgment which excited the most lively sentiments of !egret among all who heard it. An appeal, however, has since been lodged. Three young men, named Mespoulie, Lafon, and Garreau, were tried before the Court of Cahors on the 18th ult., on a charge of having, in conjunction with one Barrat, since deceased, conspired to murder Antoine Frescaline, a pub lican of Cornac. It appeared in evidence that a quarrel had taken place between Lafon ,and Frescaline on the 29th of November last, when some blows were exchanged between the parties. ON the sth of December following, about half past eleven at night, the persons mentioned in the indictment went and knocked up Frescaline, who was already in bed, under pretence of hav ing something to drink, and as he was going_ down into the cellar to get it, one of them, said to be Barrat, struck him under the ear with a handkerchief, in the corner of which some gravel had been tied up, so severe a blow that he fell, and soon after expired. It was proved that Nies poulie, who had always been friendly towards the deceased, rendered hint every assistance iv his power ; and the Jury, taking the circumstance into consideration, acquitted all the prisoners. A trial on a charge of aggravated assault has lately excited a great sensation in the vicinity of Cations, where the case came on for hearing at the assizes which have just concluded. Bernard Curairon, a dyer of Figeac, had reason to sus spect a young man of the same surname with himself, of improper views upon his daughter. Rosalie, a girl of 18, possessed of considerable personal attractions. He in consequence iZrr bade Emile Curairon his house ; but the lovers found means to meet in spite of this precaution, and on the evening of the 20th of June last the father detected the young man in the very act of inveigling Rosalie, partly by entreaty and partly by force, into a coppice at some small distance from her home, not ill-adapted for the purposes of a seducer. The impulse of the moment induced him to snatch up a large stone, with which he inflicted so severe a blow on the head of Emile as to stretch him on the ground bathed in his own blood. The injury received confined the young man more than 40 days to the house, and a criminal prosecution was com menced in consequence. Bernard Curairon, alarmed at the turn the affair had taken, ab sconded, and fled to Paris, where he was at length arrested by : the police, and passed front _station to station to Cahors (a distance of 1.40 leagues) as on foot, with his arms pinioned' behind him. The whole journey ap pears to have been performed quite according to the convenience of those who had him in cus tody, and to have occupied nearly two months. In the mean time the real facts of the case be came well known at Figeac, and a strong sym pathy was manifested toward the accused, with a p c o r, o r r s e e spo cut t o t n g neither tege e lro of which indignation n i a .e t e io li i n against ) gs the rei les sened by the animated and eloquent appeal made by M. Perrie Nicole, the advocate for the de fence, to the heart of every father who heard hi m . It is almost unnecessary to add, that the prisoner was unanimously acquitted. CAPTAIN HELSHAM. It will doubtless be in the 'recollection of our readers, that in the month of April last a duel Ives fought on the sands at Boulogne, between Captain George Helsham, of the Kilk enny Militia, and Lieu tenant Joseph Crowther, of the Royals, and which proved fatal to the latter, who fell dead at the first discharge of his adversary's pistol. The affair c.;iginated in Captain llelsham's hav ing publicly, at Boulogne, breaded Lieutenant Crowther as a coward, for having, eight years pre viously, quietly submitted to be caned by a gentle man who intercepted him in his elopement from Cheltenham with a young lady. Lieutenant Crow• ther offered an explanation, and procured evidence, for the purpose of showing that he had in vain sought the reparation due from one gentleman to another from the person alluded to : Crytain Hel sham either conceived, or affected to conceive, the evidence inconclusive, and refused to retract his charge. The result was the hostile meeting, in which Lieutenant Crowtivcr It now appears that Mr. Le:inhert Malony, who was second to the unfortunate deceased, made such a representp,:ion to his friends, as induced them to institute an inquiry, and the result was, the obtain ing of such evidenee as led them to apply to the Secretary of State to have Mr. Malony admitted as a witness for the Crown, in order to the effeel ive carrying on of a criminal proceeding against Captain Helsham. ThQ application was acceded to, and yesterday, in consequence, the following proclama tion, ox information as it is there called, appeared in the Government Police Gazette, viz:— " Whereas, George Helsham a Captain in th e , Kilkenny MLitt, is charged with feloniously killing Lieutenant Joseph Crowther, of the Royals, in it duel at Boulogne in France, on the Ist of April last, and whereas Lembert Malony, second to Lieutenant Crowther in the said duel, has declared that Capt. Helsham shot Lieutenant Crowther unfairly, and has been admitted King's evidence; and whereas, upon Mr. Malony's depositions, and the affidavits of other gentlemen, who were accidentally present at the duel, warrants have been issued for the appre hq4sion of the said George Helsham, who was lately at Colonel Conway's, at Horndean, near Portsmouth, but has fled the country to Boulogne in France. A very handsome reword will be paid by Messrs. Alliston and Locke, solicitors, of Free man's -court, Cornhill, to any person who will appre hend and ledge the body of . George Helsham in any his Majesty's gaols. Any person harbour the above felon will be prosecuted," Qa the night of Thursday last, the Thomas end Jane, WILLIAZI COLITAN, master, belonging to Cork, and bound from thence to Southampton, with a cargo of butter, was completely wrecked near Padstow, and, we reset to add, the whole of the crew perished. The re mains of the unfortunate vessel were discovered in a cove, in the pariah of St. Mervyn, into which it is supposed she ran, as affording the only chance of saving the lives of these who were on board. In this how, w e lament 10 say, they were disappointed. About 6.00 fir kiss (if butt( r balm beta saved = and tAiten to Ncistow.— IVest
