Coiunt Molitorr commanding in chief the ed -corps, reports to his Royallfighness, that having directed Lieutenant-General ,Bonnemains, Who was at Bazaoo, march on Malaga by Almeria and the,seeicoast, Ter.the purpose . of destroy in g the enemy's corps..atill existing in `that - littarter, while General Loverdo was to march direct against Riego, who occupied :Malaga in conse quence Sf his having superseded Zayas, this 'double. operation has had. the most favourable mutts. 'General .Bonnemains arrived -on the 26th of ..August at Gador, and 'found there a hag of truce from Brigadier Guendulein, commanding a de tachment of Riego's corps in the environs of Al meria. That officer had constantly endeavoured to disturb our line of to connect' him self with the detachments from the .garrison of carthagena, and had hitherto . refuse'd to 'listen to general Ballasteroi's urgentrecommeridatious - to him to, make his sub Mission. General 13onne mains,- therefore, rejected his propesitions, and intimated that 'he -could only 'be regarded as it: 'prisoner of war. He submitted to this conditiOnl along with the 700 men he commanded, among whom are 100 officers, and Almeria was occupied on the 27th. We found there several, pieces of artillery, and ammunition of every kind. The Zig*, the Magistrates, and all the population, 'turned out to meet the troops,and gave them the most flattering 'reception. Another column belonging to tile same corps, and commanded -hy Colonel Salcedo,' held the position of Ugyar. Camp Marshal Levavasseur ordered it to be attacked by 100 men of - the Sth Light, under the chief of battalion Talabot. It .was routed, left an officer and five -wonnded pri vates on the field of battle, and was soon com pelled to surrender to the number of 400, among whom are two colonels and several officers. The skeletons of the 4th, 38th, and s'3d of the line, - which were the environs of Almeria, volun tarily made their submission, and were maiTlied to - Grenada with the prisoners. General Bonnemains having left at garrison of Royalist troops in Almeria, continued his .march by'Motril, where he arrived on the 4th. In this expedition he gave fresh ,proofs of his•zeal. He Particularly ! praises COloni;1 de Choiseul, -of the 19th Chasseurs, for having perfectly seconded hini. Meanwhile General Loverdo, who left 'Grenada on the 30th, with five battalions of in fantry, two regiments of cavalry, , and seven pieces of artillery, directed his march on Malagn. He arrived there on the 4th. Riego hail gone off ,during the preceding night with about 2,500 men. The troops which remained there under the command of General Perms were made pri soners. They were 'in number 145, including 112 artillerymen, 20. officers, 'and 130 horses. General Points and his staff had the same fate. -General Saint-Chamans 'having dispatched, in the direction of Velez' Malaga, iil6'eoth Chas seurs, supported by a squadron of the 10th Dra goons, these troops charged the 'enemy's cavalry along nearly three leagues,- and took from a regi ment, called the King's Dragoons, its Colonel, a Lieutenant• Colonel, and a Chief of Squadron. 16 officers, and 140 privates mounted, •and be sides a fine squadron of hone artillery, 100 strong. 'On leaving Malaga, Riego hid sent off,' under the convoy of a brig and an armed vessel, ten `large boats with hostages, and the money raised in the country. Immediately on his arrival, Ge neral Loveredo dispatched two g unboats in pur . suit of the convoy, which th ey overtook, and •compelled the armed vessel, and eight of the 'boats, to return'to.port. Meg° took the road to Velez-Malaga, hoping, no doubt, to gain Car -thagena, but the movement of General Bonne . mains obliged him to throw 'himself into the Mountains, and. Count Molitor has taken-mea sures for ,pursaing him. The operations of the-Siege of Pampeluna corn tnenced-on the 3d of this Mouth. To enable the engineers to reconnoitre the approaches and to .open the.trenclies, it was necessary that. all the • enemy's out-posts should be driven in. 'Mustn't fosuriston accordingly caused an attack to be made on the suburbs of La Rochappea and La Magdelaine, the convent of San :Pedro, and the Casa Blanca, situated on the Tolosa road, by the seventh division, commanded by -- Geri. Viscount htnin. The ,attaCk commenced at five in the morning, and at half-past seven the two suburbs were 'occupied by our troops, who under a shower of grape shot carried the houses, which were loop-holed and intrenclied, With the greatest intrepidity. On the other hand, t.f 12th division, commanded by Lieut.-General Pecheuse, acted in concert with the Spanish division of Idieut.-Creneral Count Espana— 'Pile enemy, driv4in from till positions, was obliged to take 'refuge in the fortress. . [A ere follows an eulogy on the conduct of the officers and men employed in those preliminary operations, whieli, not withstanding the difficulties to be surmounted, , cost• only eight killed and 116 wounded. The 'loss of the enemy could not be known, the fighting having occurred under the walls of the fortress.] GUILLEMINOT. 11:41-quarters, Port St. Mary, Sept. 12.

We learn that Alava, on his return to Cadiz, was on the point of being massacred by the Rraltados, who accused him of having.betrayed the cause of liberty ; 'for the cry is no longer the Constitution. and the Cortes. Alava only escaped death by exbiairning-," Live tire people !" .and "Live liberty.!" Thus our scenes of 1793 are played off on a rock at' the extremity of Spain. The revolutionary flame is kept up-in that unfortunate city by some French, Pietlmontese, and Nea politan refugees.' Sir R. Wilson is 'expected from Gibraltar; Lord Nugent' is there already. On the French side, every thing is preparing for the,attack. The remains of Riego's corps, escaped from Malaga, were overtaken by our -columns, dis persed, and their artillery taken, Some of Ballasteroit's soldiers deserted to these bands, but Ballasteros .and his army remain faithful to his capitulation. Ballasteros proposed to the Duke of Angouleme to join him before Cadiz. His Royal Highness replied that he thanked hint ; but that if he had 30,000 men More, - he should not .know what to cep With them; having already,too many for the enemy to combat.

" Barcelona, Aug, 18, 1823." it is said that the preparations made at Barcelona, the Bth and :WI,. for die sortie, were in:Menge, that a considerable quantity of barks were prepared, and that all - the men from 10 to 45 had been put under arms to render all the troops disposable. At the same time that the enemies marched on Badalona, he attacked Sc. Andre. We have yet no detail of this affair. [From the Etoile of Moodily Evening.] lln aGOS, SEpT. 10.—The write areas Valencia, that a con spiracy bad been discovered against the celebrated Don Carlos Ullman, formerly Aid-de-Camp to General Elio, and, at pre sent, Military and Civil Governor of Orihnela. The plan of the conspirators was to assassinate Ulman on the 27th August (at the moment when heewaa presiding in the „Municipal Body.), as well as all the members of the Corporation. In order to ac complish this horrible project, one hundred hired assassins were to assemble secretly, and at different places outside the city, 'whenee they could rush forth suddenly and perpetrate their crime, Fortunately an honest labourer ave information that, near his cottage, about 30 armed. men, ogle suspicious ap pearance, were time:Ale:l. `lmmediately the brave Ulman seized his sabre, and, followed by the Alcade and eight ether persons who were armed, he burst upon them like lightning, and sutprized, in the place mentioned, the 30 conspirators, who took to flight, but ten of whom were made prisoners. After this, he returned with the same rapidity to the city, where he arrested the chief of the conspirators. CIRCULAR. " All the militia men guides, and other violent Constitu tionalist3 who present themselves to have the benefit - of the amnesty, must inhabit she place where they have their domi cile, and if on account of private affairs they are obliged to travel, passports shall not be delivered to them without giv ing bail. If the public authorities where they reside think it necessary to appoint them another domicile, from motives of public tranquillity, the individual shall be sent to the Go ernor, ...who, upon grounds being ishewn on one side and the other, shall point out, if he thinks proper, the precise spot where he must fix his residence, always consulting, however, interested.-- God far as possible, the convenience of the parties God preserve,you.

BWAONNE, SErT . . - 16.-- . --The - Commissioners of the Board of Health, 'who have been tot - examine on the spot the pestilential disorder at Passage, and! to arrange all the ne cessary means of preciudon, returned to this city the day before yesterday. There seems but too' mutt reason to fear that it itt really the yellow fever, though several agents of Government have endeavoured to persuade us that it is a typhus; or hospital fever, which will not extend its ravages beyond the spot where it originated. However, a respectable cordon has been formed in part by the troops of our garrison, and we may hope that the disordersvhich is at Passage will not bet communicated., 'Only one thiug is to be . feared, and thrittia, that the space of six weeks having been suffered to elapse before the adoption of measures of precaution time may have been given to the con tagion to spread,for we know that all the population ofPassage has•quitted it, with the exception of some hundred individuals, who are too poor or too sick - to think of seeking their safety by flight, The - lazaretto of Behobie is going to be re-established, and another formed beyond the - Bidassoa. Are have no official 'news, and theeonsequence is, as usual, the circulation of numberless unauthenticatedreports inconsist ent with each'other—some quite absurd, and others evidently fa/se. Thui weare told that the 'Spanish General Ltiverdehas en tered 'Malaga that Ballasteros has defeated General Molitor, who wasUearl'y Made-prisoner ; that Lopez Banos has entered Toledo with a respectable force; that a mutiny has broken out in the garrison of Cadiz, and that one regiment has made itself master of the liina's person ; that the fort of Puntales has been blOwn up by the'Governor, who was ordered to perform this Service.. Accounts that are more worthy of credit, being de rived from letters of a recent date from Port Et. Mary, say the story of blowing up of the fort of Puntales has no other foun dation than' the burning of some fascines, which were used in the construction of some 'advanced batteries, and the mutiny in Cadiz is confined to partial quarrels between the soldiers who have returned from the Trocadero and thoseavho form the garrison of Cadiz. - Our letters from nadrid of the 11th are not Suite satisfactory respecting the ostate of public opinion in that city, becausethe Regency shows an implacable hatred to the partizans of the revolution, as much as the revolution itself. The agents who lefeMadrid some time ago were charged with a secret mission, to get addresses sent from all quarters against , the establish ment of a Constitutional system, all such innovations being the work of the devil; the destruction of religion - end of the laws.— Numerous addresses haVe already arrived. The report of an amicable arrangement still continues, and in general little con, fidence is placed in it. The troops that were at Madrid sud denly marched away in the night of the 10th, and their destina tion not being known, it was said they were going to attempt to get possession of Bidajoz and Ciudad Rodrige; while others assert that they did nottake that direction, but marched on the road to Burgos. Gen. Bourek was expected every moment at Madrid with some troops ; it was said that he was to take for a time the place of the Duke of Reggio, who, having received an express on the 1 I th, was going to place himself at the head of a column for sonic very important operation. . As hostilities are protracted, the number of wounded in the hospitals increases, so that-it has been necessary to send to Ma drid for a supply of 'surgeons. It should seem that there is a great number of sick at Vittoria, for though the hospital in that city is - very larv, it 'is reported that a second is going to be established. ' ' - We hear that the 55th Regiment, novrat Bordeaux, is 'to come herefor our garrison. T11 . 1;,' The'Coldstream, Guards, wh►Ch left this coun try for Ireland a short time since, have been ordered back, in consequence of the repeated disag.reements which took place between the Irish and the soldiers of that regiment.

FOR THE StIN. na."Erivroit--Observing in the Thempshire Paper a notice of an intention to apply to Parliament -in the next Sessions for an Act to make a Turapikeßoid - from idhurst to Peters field, I was induced to inquire, -what line of road it 'was meant to take, and whether it was to stop at Peterifield,— !Land on being informed that it was to terminate st .Sheet Bridge, and to go no further, I . was, in common with my neighbours in Rogate and Harting, very much disappointed— for, in order to save distance, time, and expence, the road, in stead of going , rotrnd. by SsrEET BRlDGE—should be carried over Petersfield Heath, and by that means a saying of near two miles, would be effected, at a verf trifling expence, and which will so appear, if s survey of the road from Rogate to Petersfield across the Heath were matte. .But, even after this road is completed, the great desideratum remains to be obtain ed—namely, a short and easy communication with the Ciosport road at Ramsden Bottom, and from thenceto the London road, to Winchester at Ropley Dean, between Alton and Alresford, which with the exception of Stoner Hill may be done at a very small expence ; for the whole of this line ot road from Peters field abounds with materials, is already farmed, and is in tole rably good order, and only requires widening in a few places., If this line of road is adopted, it will open a communication with Sussex through Petersfleld ; on the north and east with Al ton, Basingstoke,' Newbury, 'Reading, Oxford, &c. ; and on the youth 'and wet with Wansford, Bishop's Waltham, Southampton, and with Alresford, Winchester, and Rom.: sey and will he, therefore, much preferable to any 'sew road to be Made 'from Bramdean over the Downs to the Alresfoid 'road to 'Winchester, besides a very serious ex pence must: be incurred, which the inhabitants of the pa rishes through which it must pass will by no means be dis. posed to pay; it will also be injurious to Alresford. Now the road by Ramsden Bottom, and from thence to •Ropley-Dean, will embrace both the Gosport and Winchester main roads, and con sequently, give a free approach to all the towns upon them. The only point, therefore, for consideration is, how is the expence of al tering an d improving Storat Hill to be defrayed? The farmers and others attending Petersfield Market, say, by an ade quate toll—such as half-a.crown per day for an ordinary team of horses, and by a fair and reasonable toll on all Carriages, Ike. using it. And to carry into immediate execution this beneficial measure, which will so much im prove the value of property in the whole line of the road— Money may be borrowed at a low rate of the Public Commis sioners on the credit of these t0115..--Then, with respect to Stonar Hill--dhe difficulties are not so great, as they have been represented, and may be soon overcome, and such is the opinion of persons experienced in works of this nature. There fore, to obtain &communication with the Sussex coast—so im ortant to the inhabitants of the north of Hampshire, 13erks, Bucks, Wilts, Oxford, &c. &c., •a General Meeting should be held this autumn at Petersfield, being the central town, in or tier to enter into'resolutions to give complete effect to theineeat; sure which has so properly been commenc ed by the Oeritleyn_ in the vicinity of Midhurst.

The CHAIRMAN, conformably with the 'resolutions of 'the the Proprietors were last assembled. General Courts of the .7th of April and the 6th of July, 1809, laid before the the proprietors the usual annual accounts re lative to the Company's College at Haileybury. Mr. fluetE maid he wished to ask a question of some im portance. fle-desired to know whether any report as to the state of the College had been made after 'the last visitation by • the College Committee ? It would'be satisfactory to know how the College had been conducted during the last half year— Whether it had been free from insubordination and disturbance. 'The CHAIRMAN 'Baia he felt gira pleasure in communi cating to the Court, that at the last visitation, which took place in June, the state of the College w a s perfectly satisfactory. 'Mr. Hu bIE was desirous of learning whether any alteration had been made in •the stat utes of the• College. It had been stated on a former occasion by an lion. Proprietor (Mr. D. Kinmaird) who viaanot now present, that he would bring this subject before the Court. Therefore he (Mr. Hume) . thought .it was proper to leave it to his care. But as they were informed by the late chairman (Mr. Pattison), that the disturbances which took place some time ago were under the consideration of a Committee, who would be , .iirepared, at an early period, to lay whaL tha on t lwi a tt e ei t ne e . rniination was? the result of their inquiry before the Court, he was anxious to id , li e believed Court, t h at predecessor tbhaadt tmh eade made circum stances inl:n:he:. know whether that Committee had come to a determination on n r oc t t o tinn a l n Honourable Proprietor (Mr. • • sDith ischaird.Ter ii s ia : el:l b inaot j udn e l al e :i t :Ara : flit a n dtdhzii;:re, who no i se f ao s lils o vllasa , ews; l t b e e ra fo ti re o n th o e f o t .o f f the Directors existing; stances to which allusion had been made were under the con ' but port ito n d t i h d e n ot subject, recom r w n h en ic d h th w e a a s C° All U y r statutes. Mr.4lusrE wished to know whether there would be any objection to laying that report before the Proprietors. If there were, then it must become the subject of a separate notice. The CHAIRMAN thought that, on reflection, the Honourable Proprietor - would not press for a production of the report. He must himself see the impropriety of introducing a document to the Proprietors on which no measure had been founded. Mr. It. Jacxsox and the CHAIR MAN said each a few words, when the conversation dropped. Mr. IlusiE asked how many cadets, exclusive of those in College, haneen sent out to India during the last year ? The CHAIR3IAN stated, that 131 cadets were appointed for India, and had taken their passage ; and 35 had been appointed to the military seminary—making a total of 166. Mr. II uME said, he would again offer a suggestion, which ho had often before thrown out in that Court. He felt it to be extremely desirable, looking to the state of their Indian army, that the Court of Directors should adopt mean* by which every yoUng man going out should, as matter of compulsion (so far as was in their ower), be completely instructed in the Orien tal languages. Formerly, when they sent out 400 or 500 cadets every year, it was difficult to attain this object, on account of the greatness of the number. But now, when the cadets sent out were so few, it might easily be accomplished ; and the Court of Directors could not confer a greater benefit on India, or on England, than by adopting some mode by which the cadets would. be efficiently instructed in the Oriental tongues. The subject was one of great importance, and he hoped the executive body would not - lose sight of it. EAST INDIA VOLUNTEERS. The CHAIR tiAii laid before the Court an account of the ex pence incurred for the maintenance of the Regiment of East India Volunteers for the last year, which amounted to 3,592/. Iss. ld. ; and an estimate of the expence for the same corps from the Ist of August, 1823, to the Ist of August, 1824, winch was 4,3091. • MR. J. lItNDE' PF,'LT.Y. The CuArnmax was proceeding to put the question of ad journment, when Mr. Hu ME rose, and proceeded to make some remarks in defence of the course he had taken with respect to the grant of 2,000/. which had been proposed, and ultimately carried, in favour of Mr. J. 11. Pelly. He took this step in consequence of certain observations which had fallen from Mr. Pelly (a relation of the Gentleman to whom the grant was made) in the General Court on the 18th of June last. The Hon. Proprietor then proceeded to argue, that the view which he had taken of the question was borne out by documentary evi dence ; and he expressed his conviction, that if the proprietors had been possessed of the papers especially the penalty bond, which were now within their reach, at the time the claim was brought forward, the question would never have gone to a ballot; but would have been promptly decided in that Court, in a manner very different from that in which it was ultimately decided. The CIIATIMAN bore testimony to the laborious attention which the Committee of Buying and Warehouses had paid to the whole of the case. Although no copy of the penalty bond was in this country at the time of the investigation, yet, he be lieved, the fact that such a bond had been taken was well known to the committee. _ Mr. Titian. thought it was very hard towards Mr. !Jelly, that the subject of the contract should be brought forward in this manuer by the Hon. Proprietor, when none of those Gen den.= were present who could perhaps give a satisfactory ex planation of the transaction. Nothing that had fallen from the lion. Proprietor had shaken his opinion on this question.. He firmly believed that Mr. Pelly was not guilty of the conduct imputed to him. Mr. HustE said, in explanation, that, having been last week at Mr. Pelly's door, at Minchinhamptun, he had sent that gentleman a letter, stating that he would on the present occa sion offer a few remarks on this subject.—(Hear !)He hoped no one would suppose that he would animadvert on the conduct of any individual in that Court, without giving to that indivi dual a fair notice.—( Hear !)—The Court then adjourned. 'FOR THE SUN. Paris, Sept. 19,1823. MR. EDITOR—The following anecdote was related to me by a French Gentleman who wit nessed the scene, and, as you will be surprized to learn, related it with the utmost admiration of our fair champion, notwithstanding the severity . of the retort. It may justly be termed a success ful repartee, and will, at the same time, serve to spew the prejudices and ignorance of the Ultras in this country :-- "At an zaatieffibly given, during the last season, at hotel of the Marquis de L. the only English visitors were the Countess of A—b-h, and the then ,lately-married and lovely Countess of B--li—st. The Prince de L' 4 ** (one of the branches of ..the precious stock of nobility whoni a British asylum - and British generosity sheltered and relieved in danger and indigence) in his ultra-zeal for the principles which re-. commended it, applauded the Spanish war, and added his earnest hope that it might lead to a rupture between France and England, by which an opportunity, he said, would be afford ed of signalizing the vast superiority of the troops of the former in dis7ipline and.spirit to those of our country. The Countess.. of n—, to vhorn, in fact, this gallant speech was chiefly addressed, heard it with astonishment, and felt and expressed ' the indignation which it was calculated to excite. - Looking aibund in amazement, as if she doubted the reality of what she had heard, she fixed her brilliant and expressive blue eyes on the dauntless hero, and eloquently asked him, whether the absence of her countrymen had led him to believe that he could hazard, with impunity, so false and so unmanly a declar ation ?or was it,' she proceeded, that having fairly reviewed the innumerable instances in which the troops of both countries had encountered each other, he could have formed so ground less a conclusion ? Let me beseech your Highness to subdue your idle and unworthy petulance—to instruct, by means cf truth, your extreme ignorance,--and, above all, to study, in your leture assertions, that discretion which is so strikingly • apparent in your selection of the present opportunity tbr the expression of a vain and presumptuous assumption : And,' continued this charming advocate, to the second of my a dmonitions I will myself a ff ord you the assistance of hi s torical and authenticated truths to guide you. No doubt,' she said, you have never heard of the battle of Albu fern, or that of Busaco, in which your superior . numbers, and avowedly superior advantage- of position, availed not in turning the tide of victory, which in both fields was complete and glorious on the side of Britain, whose armies advanced---Pray inquire amongst your fugitive friends who were the first in'the race of glory on the memorable occasion of crossing the Douro ? that was certainly a glorious atchieve ment, and whilst the prudence of the movement is universally admitted, there is some doubt whether the address or celerity with -which your brave countrymen effected it, is most cleav ing of applause; but they even surpassed your Highness in politeness on the plains of Salamanel—how I regret that you were not - there to witness the triumph of true gallantry! Upon the arrival of our troops they certainly gave the usual saluta tions, but they did not wait to receive them on the double ; and seeing that 'our poor itoldiers were sadly in want of clothes, they generously relinquished their baggage, and even in the hurry of their politeness forgot their artillery. I now see your anxiety to arrive at the grand conclusion of the war, and pass ing many a well-fought field, in every one of which your brave countrymen behaved with a spirit and bravery inferior only to those who kicked them forward, I must stop for a moment at Vittoria. This was truly gallant, no less a man than King Joseph shewed-the bright example of flying, and nobly did his troops support him in the race—it was indeed a rout. Orthes, Bayonne (even in your fair France I find myself), and the ever memorable Toulouse, all victories—and yet, according to such heroes as your Highness, the Vanquished were the victors. I trust that I shall be spared the pain of revisiting the, sacred field or NVaterloo. Your country wits punished there by the fame w an a d rri la ers ur e el f s b ; e b th ut, n a a l t as ien ! s th w e h y o w d e ie r a e a v n ei g n t e h e il e ati ß on rit o e f ns a . ll crimsoned m t hseotn dreadfule d w w ith a d c a o y p i s o le u m st b i d er e of i e ee h e e e s . t t blood ,end l e t a h t a n t , warmed c can, its the n ts . fain true bravery and gallantry, by imitating their virtues." The Countess of 33 t speaks the French language most perfectly and eloquently, and my friend assured me that the effect of her address on the foregoing occasion far surpassed any thi►►g he had ever witnessed; you can therefore juke how imperfectly I must have related the affair:_ A SUBSCRIBER. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DREADFUL OUTRAGE. MARLBOROU OII -STREET.—habdiaSullivan and Catheri ne Fitzgerald in custody upon a charge of having thrown a matt out of the window of a house of ill-fame, No. 9, Maynard street, St. Giles's, were yesterday brought up for re-examin ation. Mr. TURNER, the Solicitor to the pansh, attended to carry on the prosecution against the prisoners, it being repye seined to Mr. CONANT, the Magistrate, that it was the opinion of the Surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, that.the man was likely to be attacked with a locked jaw, and lose his life from the fracture of both his ancles in the fall. Mr. Conant went, ac companied by Mr. Turner and Mr. Bishop the Clerk, to take down his depositions at the Hospital, which was as follows: " He said his name is Thomas Barnes, is a farmer in Surrey, liras passing through St. Giles's about two o'clock on Tuesday. and saw a woman standing at the door of a house, who invited him in. He accompanied her to the front room second floor when she demanded money from him, which he refused. She then called up another woman, who also demanded money ; a third woman then entered and closod the door. He refused to give any money, and wanted to de_part, but the s he should not. They all three then atta c k e d him, and after some strug gling he got to the window, and lifting up the sash called for a constable, and while doing so he suddenly foundtis legs out of the window, and in a moment he fell to the ground. Ile cannot positively swear wh e th er h e put hi s legs out of the win dow himself or was forced out ; he was perfectly sober, but so much alarmed that he cannot speak as to the fact. He µ'a`so stunned by the fall th at he remember nothing'more that occurred after. The evidence of a gir l named Susan P err who lodges in the house, was then taken ; she said theman accompanied Sullivan up stairs, heard the demand for money and the re fusal. Heard Sullivan call up the other prisoner, Fitzgerald: when they closed the door, and a scuffle ensued. - She hea r " the window open, and the man call for a constable and tn stantly heard the m an f a ll to the n•roun!. He fell on his knees and hands. This statement was corroborated by several other girls in the bootie, but none of them spoke of a third woman mentioned in the man's deposition, who, from the decription he gave of Ile! , is is supposed to be Elizabeth Code, who keeps the house ; a.,a - a most infamous character. The prisoner said as before, that the manthren , himself eta+ and they were remanded fqr another examination. The witness Perry was ordered to be tak&n care of In tie work-house, to protect her from the threats held out towards her, in consequence of her giving evidence.
