Yesterday Mr. CortsTAur.}: and Colonel FORE MAN, hlagistrates for this division, sat at the Mitre-tavern, Greenwich. At an early hour the Justice-mom was filled to excess, and the greatest anxiety prevailed in consequence of a man named Thomas Timothy bein discovered to be an as compilce with Coleman, in the murder of the unfortunate Mr. Smith, at Lewisham, in December last. Previous to Coleman's condemnation, he made a confession' to Colonel FOUEMAN, in the presence of Mr. Bicknell, the clerk, wherein he stated, that when he left Mrs. Conley's, st Deptford, where he lodged, he proceeded towards the house of Air. Smith, where he met his associates, who were six in number, viz. James and Robert Sm ith (brothers, the latter fired the fatal shot) James Webster, a shipwright, John Wood cock, a fisherman of Lambeth, and two other fishermen whose surnames he did not know—but Thomas was the Christian name of the one, and John of the other, and 'that they lived in Lam beth and frequented the same public.bouse there as Woodcock —that Thomas had lived at the back of the Nelson, In Dept ford,' with a girl called black Hannah ; and tha t it was Thomas that assisted him in boring the hole in the parlour-shutter of Mr. Smith's at the moment that Gentleman was shot, and that the stick that was found in the fore-court of Mr. Smith's house belonged to Thomas. After Coleman's execution, it was found that the surname of Thomas was Timothy, and warrants were forthwith grim ed and placed in the hands of Farmer, an active constable. Far mer was unceasing in his endeavours to arrest him, but could not gain the slightest trace of him. The prisoner, who is a dashing young fellow, apparently about twenty - seven years o f ag e, of very short stature, was, however, brought before Mr. CONSTABLE,,on Saturday, on a warrant, at the in stance of a, female, for an assault, anti then appeared un der an assumed name. in tho course of the examination upon the complaint of the young woman, he was recogniz ed to he the very. Thomas Timothy named by Cole man in his confession, and when challenged by the Ma, gistrate its to whether or not his name was Timothy, he re luctantly admitted that was'his name. lie WHS . thereupon re manded, and was taken to the cage under a strong escort. e t il le at aw the en b ru ar n , ce a d nd th he in a g p s. pea A r l ed r. vYeesrytedrdeitteye.tohe a w n s d s i ag ian a n in ed pl a a t c Humphries attended as his solicitor.

Mr DEANE GRADY, for.the plaintiffs, stated their case. This was an lisue directed by the Court of Chancery, under which the - action was brought .by the plaintiff's against the de fendants, for the recovery of the amount of certain bills of ex change. It was well known to the Jury, and to the public, that in consequence of the failure of the Messrs. Roche, the statute was issued against them, and that, after having gone through the ordeal, they honourably obtained their certificate; and though this action was nominally against them, its real object was to come at a dividend of their effects. The plaintiffs were driven to try their right to do so in this way, their endeavours to try on the estate before the Commissioners of Bankrupt in Cork having been encountered by so many difficulties and obstacles, as to oblige them to snake an application to the Lord Chancellor to allow them to conic in and prove their debt. The motion having been agreed before his Lordship, the result was an order that the plaintiff's should bring; an action against the present defendants, who, it was directed by the order, should not set up their bankruptcy in defence. It was a part of the same order, that the assignees of the Messrs. Roche should be at liberty to examine the bankrupts • so that•in fact it was they who instituted this resistance to die plaintiff's, for he, Mr. Grady, was persuaded that the Messrs. Roche, if act ing for themselves, would not be in Court that day to object to the just claim of the plaintiffs, or to set up the kind of de fence which he understood would be resorted to ; for, strange as it may appear, one of the grounds was, that some of the bills were drawn on illegal stamps, respecting which he should have something to say hereafter. They all knew that the plaintiff's had dealt largely in bills of exchange, and carried on business successfully for a long time. Among 'others they had many dealings with the defendants, who, it would appear having had occasion for English bills early in the'year 1820, applied to the plaintiff's; who sold them those who were the subject of the present action, drawn on a house in London, With whom they had been in the habit of doing business for a number of years, anti with whom they had extensive credit. As payment for these bills, the 'plaintiffs received from the de fendants bills also drawn on London, which amounted to 2,012/. Os. 3d. British, which made a difference, to some small amount, between those they gave and those they got. The bills thus given to the defendants by the plaintiffs were all paid, one of then', after some short delay, having gotten into the hands of Mr. John Roche, of Dublin ; while the bills which the defend. ants gave to the plaintiffs were not paid, and remained so to this day. When these were drawn, tt was subsequently disco vered, that instead of calculating the stamp as if the transaction were of English money, they were as of Irish, and inasmuch as some of them were so drawn, it was now, it seem ed,to be contended that it was impossible to recover. That, he admitted, was a legal objection ; but in consequence of what took place before the Lord Chincellor„it was one which would not avail, which ought not to be relied on, and which he hoped the Learned Counsel at the other side would not embarrass the case with. It would, in truth, be useless to do so ; for if the plaintiff's got a verdict upon any 'of the hills to which the objection, on account of a wrong stamp, did, not, apply, the Lord Chancellor would not allow the objection to those which were on wrong stamps to prevail. • When he mentioned the names of the Roches, he could not avoid doing them the justice to say, that it was con sistent with the purity of conduct which they had always evinced, that they would not set up such a defence as this to which he had alluded. The only witness produced in support of this statement was Mr. Keefle O'Keeffe; when Mr. O'CoNNELL spoke for the defendants. • He remarked that Mr. Grady had admitted in his statement they were not trying an ordinary issue of bills of exchange. This was, in fact, an issue to satisfy the Chancellor whether the plaintiff:4 were entitled to recover a dividend on these bills ont of the elects of the bankrupts. The Chancellor sent thiS question to be tried in form of an action, but the form was immaterial. lie would prove by evidence not to be controverted, that there was not a *mule &ma fide transaction, but a mere intercltange of paper bet Ween insolvent houses—that although their dealings, previous to March 1020, amounted to 150,000/., there was not an act of regular business, the entire being calculated and con trived by the Oiliceffes to Ifeep up a fictitious credit. The re. sult of these dealings was, that in alarch, 1020, a sum of 0,0001.„ • according to Mr. heeffe O'Keeffe' s repr e sentation, but amount ing to 0,0001. in reality, as would be proved by Mr. Roche, was due to. the bank. Mr. James Roche, one of the late firm, was examined by the It Eco RD Eft. Ile proved that 1,000/. was accepted by the Messrs. Roche as a compensation for 0,0001., and the sum paid, part in gold, part in notes, an d p art by a bill on London. rpt greater 'tart of the debt due from the house of O'Keefe to the bank appeared in his (Mr. Roche's) private book, a sum of 1,1001. only appearing to be d ue on th e books of the house ' • and in order to save appearances, h e gave Mr. Arthur O'R'eeffe a sum of 1,100. 1 . in his private office', with which he went down to the public office, and paid off the b a lance which appeared to he due. In May, 1810, there Avila a temporary demur on the part of Roberts and Co. to accept the bills drawn by his house, and this fact was known to the O'Keeffes. In 1816, Mrs. Vtieeffe passed hills to him to the amount of 5,000/., which were not paid ; he spoke to her about them, and she said if the hank-would enable her to take some money in London, she would get them settled or arranged, Upon this assurance he gave her a thousand guineas on her 1 0 11, and discounted for her to the amount of 2,000/„ but the bills were never paid.— Being asked how he accounted for doing business with her after this transaction, he said it was with a view to keep up her credit, and thereby enable her to pay gradually. The debt of 0,000/. due in March, 1020, he was obliged to compromise front necessity. Mr. Justice BURTON summed up the evidence. After al luding to the acceptance of the compromise above stated, he said the former loss would account for Mr. Roche's calling on the O'Keeffs for bills, of which the four in dispute were some, which were regularly paid, never having come back to him ; but what was decisive in the case was, that they now came out of the plaintiff's hands, showing that they had paid them in s ome way or other, which was evidence of so much money had' and remind from the plaintiffs to the use of the defendants.— If the Jury saw the case in this light, they ought to find a verdict for the plaintiffk to the amount of the tour bills. lie stated that it was probable this trial would not decide the mat ter between the o'.Keeffea and the assignees or creditors of the Roches, but as between the present parties, whom only they could know, it was quite conclusive. The Jury then retired, and in a few minutes returned a ver via for the plaintiff's for 2, 1 7 4 !. 2s. n It was ex ectidtrleid:l,:crllcltiilecielN.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Slrt—As the Lessees of Covent-Garden Theatre have found it necessary to take several days to arrange and bring forward the long list of charges which they now, for,the first time, venture to prefer against me, I am sure the public (to whom I am so much indebted for their kind sympathy in this time of need) will wait patiently a day or two, when I pledge myself to rebut . every one of the frivolous an d vexat i ous charges which they have had the cruelty to allege against me. I am, Sir, Yours and the public's most devoted Servant, J. W. BRANDON. Box. Office, llart-street, Covent-Garden, Sept. 2, 1023. LYCEUM, THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Theatre Royal, English Opera-house, September 9, 1093. SIR—As you have mentioned me by name in the British Preis of this day, I offer no apology for addressing you, in reply to your observations contained in the theatrical article of that Paper. As lam bound to suppose your object to be cri tical truth and justice, I beg to set you right in one or two par ticulars in which you appear to me to have been mistaken. You say " The Bold Stroke fir a Wife" has been " shorn of its beams, and clipped down to a two-act opera"--that " the company at my Theatre is too scanty in numbers" to act the original—and that " by hewing away three acts, the audience have been rescued from just so much of the tedium inseparable from an ill-acted play." You then go on to say, that " there is one thing worth noticing, and that is, the singular Costum es of the characters. One man wore a ress which would have been antique in the days of Elizabeth ; another strutted about in a court-dress of Queen Anne's time; a third put on the attire of our own days," &c. &c. &e. Now, Sir, if you will allow me to call your attention to the original play, I think in fairness you will see occasion to recant your censure, and to acknowledge that you owe me some repa ration for an attack which you have made direct, by coupling it with my nenie The play has not been " shorn" or " clipped down," ex cepting in a few indelicate speeches, which'the better order of our modern actors and actresses would refuse, with just pro priety, to deliver, and which, if delivered,-would be hooted by our modern audiences. That the company at my Theatre is not " too scanty" to act the original play, (a proved by the fact that the play is acted, and without the curtailment of a single character. The assertion, that three acts of the comedy have been " hewed away," is a strange Incorrectness. The five acts, which were before so short as to appear like so many sin gle scene:;, have been united, and I hope and think with some improvement to the effect ; but nothing has been " hewn away," excepting by the aforesaid shearings and clippings, and is otherwise acted as it always was acted in my recollection. In regard to Costume—while I acknowledge (in part.) the jus tice of your criticism, I must entirely deny its application to this piece in particular. I should be really very glad to learn how any comedy which keeps possession of the stage, could be acted with the necessary effect without the violation of pro. priety—(and, strictly speaking, such it really is) which is here complained of. How would Sir Peter Teazle, Lord Qgleby, Lord Townley, Foppington, Acres, or fifty other clutraCters, look and act in a modern dress? And what would be the effect, 'if the young men and women, in the comedies to which they belong, were dressed up to the necessary antiquity of their cos, tome? The exsieriment has been'often tried and always failed. In the present case, however, it is more particularly my object to prove to you that you are in error, and strange) y so ; tbr if you will only take the trouble to turn to the comedy you will find the dress of one gentleman, whom you notice, thus de scribed by the author (and he has always been dressed con fort n ably to the present style). In act 3d, scene Ist, Perrhvbaie says, This coat, you must know, Sir, was formerly worn by that ingenious and very learned person, A T .fir. John radescant of Lambeth." Now, Mr. John Trade:want was, if my memory fail me not, a very celebrated virtuoso, in or about the time of Queen Elizabeth, and Pcrriariuklc is, therefore, Brest con. formibly to this notion. Saab.: it, in die first scene, also describes him as one " fond of every. thing antique and foreign, and wears his clothes of the fashion of the last century." 'The old Beau, another object of your censure, he also describes as one who "admires all the new fashions, and those mast be French ;" and as one character was necessarily thrown cn times long past in his dress, I conceive it perfectly proper that this also should take a middle path bet Ween the very old and the very modern, so as, at once, to preserve character, and. connect the two, without violating propriety or common sense. I have taken the pains to write at so much length, Sir, be cause the concluding paragraph of your critique does not appear to me to indicate any hostile feelings towards me t notwith standing the severe tone and 'character of the late articles in the British Press, respecting this Theatre ; and es you have made the voluntary promise, so I hope this frank declaration of my difference of opinion will induce you to fulfil it ; and that you wilt forego censure (1 mean, of course, unmerited ce nsure) , es fur as relates to my 'Theatre " for the rest of your critical life." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. ARNOLD. ° s e The foregoing letter is written with such candour, and with so mild a spirit of expostulation, as to entitle it to inser tion in our Paper. It is certainly true that many of the old cemedies partake too much of the licentiousness which prevailed during the time of Cn AR L es . the Second, and long after. The public, therefore, arc indebted to those w h o remove f rom " an unweeded garden" what sprang from the rankness of the soil, and retain what Alford* pleasure, and ornaments the place. SHOCKING AccInENT.---On Monday evening us Mr. Vrsruxn, of Hampstead Marsh, waS returning home from a shooting party at Medhurst, Hurts, in his gig, the horse be. came restive a short distance from Bushy, ran the gig up a hank, and overturned it with great force, and Mr. Vining was killed. His friend, a Gentleman of the name of Shaw,. Was stunned at the moment, but he got assistance, and conveyed Mr. Vining to next house senseless. The accident happened between eleven and twelve o'clock, and the deceased expired about four o'clock in the morning. SHOCKING DlSCOVERY.—Yesterday morning, at six o'clock,, violent screaming was h ear d t o proceed from a house in Nagshead-court, Grace. church-street, which was in care of a widow, named Saunders, who had no other comp an y than her two young children. The street-keeper, accompanied by several of the neighbours, re paired thither, and, by means of a ladder (the strut-door being found shut), an entrance was effected at the first-floor window. The two chil dren were in a state of distraction, calling out " mother, mother!--she is dead !" &c. Upon the landing-place a great quantity of blood was found, but Mrs. Saunders was not there ; the drops of blood, however, were traced down stairs to the cistern, ivhere she was found'in the water, head foremost and quite dead. Upon inspection a deep gash was found in her throat ; a common knife, with which the wound is supposed to have been inflicted, was also found, but the blood Was partly wiped off. A Padlock, generally kept upon the street-door, as well as the hasp and another iron fastening, was taken ofl'. The circumstance has created much alarm in the neighbourbood, and various conjectures are in circulation. A Coroner's Inquest will be held when the truth must likely be made known. A SUPPOSED DEATH AND ACTUAL BURIAL. (Front a Traveller's Jourttal.) • tceNcLesteg.i I found that the Doctor and his wife have lived in the - greatest happiness ever since; and the Doctor, who is one of the best of men, is con= tinually studying how tomtit to the felicities of her life every day ; that he offered to take her up to. London to pass the winters there, but this she re.. fused, and desired she. might remain where she was in the country, as it was really most ,agree-• able to her, and as he preferred,it to the town. This account made the thing quite plain to ine ; and to judge impartially, considering the whole case, I could neither blame the lovely Agnes for marrying the Doctor, nor condemn her for pretending to be ti stranger to me. She was fairly dead and buried, and all connexion be tween us was at an end of course, as there- had been no marriage or contract of marriage; and as to reviving the affair, nd renewing the tender ness which had existed, it could answer no other end than producing unhappiness, as she was then Mrs. Stanvil, in a decent and happy . situation. And further, in respect of her marrying the Doc tor so soon after her separation from me, it was certainly the wisest thing she could do, as she had been so entirely at his disposal, and I, in all pro bability, after burying her, being gone up to London, or in some place where she couhi never hear of me more ; I might likewise have been married, if any thing advantageous had offered, after laying her in the church-yard. So that naked and friendleis as she was, without any money, and ignorant of what became of me, without a possibility of informing herself, I could not but acquit her. I even admired her conduct, and resolved so far to imitate her, in regard to general happiness, that nothing should appear in my behaviour which could incline any one to think I had ever seen her before that night when the tempest drove me to her house. I was vexed, I own, to lose her; 'but that could be no reason for making a sens e l e s s uproar, which could do nothing but mis chief. As composed then as I could be, I went down to breakfast, on a servant's letting me know they waited for me, and found the same company, who had so lately parted to slumber, all quite alive and cheerful, easy and happy as mortals could be. At the request of Dr. Stanvil, Who was extremely civil, I staid with them two months, and passed the time in a delightful conversation, intermixed with music, cards, and feasting. With sadness I left them all, but especially on account of parting for ever with the late Miss -. It was indeed for the pleasure of looking at her, that I staid as long as I did at the Doctor's ; and e hen it came to another eternal separation, I felt in the morning of my departure an inward distress it is impossible to give an idea of to another. lt had some re. semblance (I imagine) to what the visionaries calf a deriliction, when they sink from extacy to the black void of horror, by the strength of fancy, and the unaccountable operation of the animal spirits, Here, before I proceed, I think I ought to remove some objections that may be made against my relation, of Mrs. Stenvil's coming to life again, and her being brought from the couch of lasting night to a bridal bed. It is not easy to believe, that after I seemed certain she was dead, and kept her the proper number of days before interment, and then let her down into the grave ; yet from thence she should come forth, and now be the desire of' a husband's eyes. This is a hard- account sure; but nevertheless it is a fact. As to my being mistaken, no less a person than Dr. Cherry thought Col. Townsend dead ; and that several have lived for many years, after they had been laid in the tomb, is a thing too certain and well known to be denied. In I3ayle's Dictionary' there is the history of a lady of quality, belong ing to the Court Of Catharine de Medicis, who was brought from the church-vault, where she had been forty-eight hours, and afterwards be came the mother of several children, writer mar riage with the' Marquis d'Auvergne. The learn ed Dr. Connor, in his history of Poland, gives us a very wonderful relation of a gentleman's re= viving in that country, after he had been ap 'wordy &ad for near a fortnight, and adds a very curious dissertation on such discoveries,. The case of Dun Scotus, who was found out of his coffin, on the steps going down to the vault he was deposited in, and leaning on his elbow, is full to my purpose. And I can affirm from my own knowledge, that a gentleman of my acquaintance, a worthy excellent man, was buried alive, and found not only much bruised and torn on opening his coffin, but turned on one side. The reason of opening the grave again was his dying of a high fever in the absence of his lady, who was in a distant county from him, and on her return, three days after he was buried, would have a sight of him, as she had been extremely fond of him. His face was sadly broke, and his hands hurt in striving to force up the lid of his coffin. The lady was so affected with the dismal sight, that she never held her head up after., and diedt e r ex n traordinary a few''ek c s s o f couldam altitk:ltiv(i:7ni°ldhiattZ el, anal arance was tw e t l appen sere t t s i o gi a a w f - t i t to l e after ;1 1 \ l i s l y rl s ' r ect hivn.- if l r ,o , , c u we o: t v e e tbi r lu d i;d: s ' aetad , yet, appen e they do sometimes.
