Mr. Robert Thorley, oh his Way froth town to his residence at Petersham, sent his servant .torward from Wands Worth with a message to his family, and instead of himself prOceeding home through Richmond Park, as was his custom, he went by the private road; Which turns off to Richmond, a little heyond r the seven mile-stone on the Wands.: worth road. When Mr. Thorley bad passed the first gate a short way, .he 'perceived aleinale, at tired like a Quaker, and a man following her at a short distance, on the side-path, which is parallel with the horse-road. The man appeared to he a einyenter, mechanic, with an apron f,ilded round him.. As soon as Mr. Thorley came oppo site to him, he sprang suddenly from the foot path into the main road, ivhich causing Mr. T.'s 'horse to startle, he involuntarily struck him across the breast with a rattail stick ; and sup posing the man to 'be. intoxicated, he inquired what he was about. The robber on this, took out a pistol front his left side, whiCh Me. T. ob served was loade&up to the muzzle, presented it, and said " I must have .your Money." Mr. T. replied, " you can have but little ;", and gave all the silver he had; consisting of a Bank token or two, and ,a few shillings.. The man observed, ‘: If yOu willdo me no injury, I shall not hurt you ;" and then retired, saying, " real distress has compelled me to 'thiSact." This observation disarmed Mr. T. of all resentment against the un fortunate' wretch, and he was only solicitous to render ltim service. He told him it was a shock ing alternative be had chosen ; and inquired if he did not know, that by the act be Had just com mitted, he had forfeited his life. The footpad walked on, and would hear no more.' Mr. T. was still anxious to learn the man's situation, and con tinued stationary and looking after him : but the footpad mistaking. ,his object, turned back and . followed hint hastily, with a presented pistol. — Mr. T. did not, hOwever, lose sight of him, re tirinr, to no greater distance than was necessary to avoid the danger ofthe shot. At this instant a person on horseback passed close to the robber, when Air., T. called out--=" a highwayman !?'— The footpad immediately skewed his pistol, and desired the Gentleman to go on, who proved to , be a Mr. Smith, of the city. Mr. T. and Mr. S. conferred together as to the best mode of appre hending the man, when Mr. Reeve, aMagistrate;, arriVed on the spot. By this time the footpad, had got ..over the hedge into an adjoining field ; and a , servant Of Mr.-Nettleship's having joined the party, means were immediately employed to take him. Mr. Smith rode to Wandsworth for a constable, whilst the other persons stationed themselves in such directions as to prevent the possibility of an escape. At this moment a pistol Was, heard ft-Om the opposite side of the hedge to that on which Mr. Reeves was ; and that Gentle- Man conceived at first that he had been fired at by the robber;, but an farther investigation it was found that the wretched footpad had laid violent bands on himself, by discharging the contents of the pistol into his own head. He was found without One of his shoes, lying on his back, and quite dead. The body was taken to the George 'inn, at Wandsworth, where a Coroner's Inquest was held upon it on Monday last, 'before ,----- JEI4IMET, ESq. Coroner for the county. ;Verdict, Feb° de se. , Some hundreds of persons have attended to view the deceased, but by none of them had be been recognized up to Monday night.

THE ARMY •It is understood that MiijOl-General REBOW is appointed to the command of the brigade of Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards (Blue), in the room of Major-General O'LOGHLIN, who resigns on account of ill health.. 4temOtints, to the extent of'2oo horses, are ,or 'tiered immediately tau reinforce thefuliowing I? •- i.,.ritnents ,in the Peninstila; 3th . and 1 ith Light Dragoons ; Ist and 2d. Dragoons (heavy) King's German Legion ; Ist and 2d Light Dra goons, King's German Legion. The 7th Light Dragoons, the strongest Ca valry regiment at this time at home„ is to be re , - moved from Dublin to England. The West Kent regiment of Militia have march ed from Nottingham, in two divisions, for North ampton. The Cavalry arc in cantonments, three leagues in front of Burgos. . General CASTANOS, with the Spaniards, is in the villages, one league in' front of Burgos. The sth and 7th divisions are also, in front of Burgos. The environs of the hilt on which the Castle is situated, are occupied by the Portuguese Cacadores of the 6th division. The 24th, 4'2d, and 79th regiments, forming the first division, are, we believe, chiefly employed in the siege. The Gua"rds and King's German Legion, with Gen. PACK'S Brigade, are, we understand, some what in the rear of the horn-work. The squadron at present on the North American station rolisists.of 3 sail of the line, 10 frigates, 8 sloops, and 4 schooners, viz. San Domingo; Puictiers, Africa, of the line ; Tenedos, Spar tan, Maidstone, Nymph, Acasa, llclvidera, !Bolus; Statira, and Shannon frigates; Curlew, Sophie, Rattler, Morg,iana, Recruit,, Tartarus, Colibri, and PL inper slc.Jps; Paz, Juni per, 'Bream, ,and Cottle schooners. This force, however, Ministers do not consider sufficient. The Hermes sloop is ordered tollali faX. It is expected that the Endyntion, and other frigates of the stoutest class, will also be fitted, and sent out on the same service. On Saturday se'nnight a detachment of the 6th Foot,' consisting of two Captains, six Subalterns, and 400 rank and file, under' the command of Captain DEWGARD, embarked at Jersey, with or ders to proceed direct to Cprunna. A few days previous to the embarkation, the detachment was inspected by Lieut.-General DON, who expressed in the wannest ,terms his most unqualified appro bation of the soldier-like appearance of the men, and the excellent state of their arms and accon tremcnts. The detachment embarked in the highest health and spirits, and will, no doubt, prove a sea sonable and valuable refiircement to the :Marquis of WELLINGTON.

After an absence of nearly seven years, Mr. BETTY returned last night to this Theatre; and appeared' in the character of Achmet, in the: Tragedy of Barbarossa, the character in which he first presented hiniself 'to the London audience. — The ,curiosity originally, excited by this young man has-r,y no mearts• subsided, but was evident in the nhmerous audience which. attended 'last and in s the general buz of. expectatiot,. which prevailed the inontent before he was to make his• entrance. He Nvds received with great ap-- planse, and this applanse continued for sonic mi nutes.' He ..boweirrepeatedly during this aus - pi-: cious reception, with evident marks of gratitude, and , with a,graceful ease. His figure-is, of course, very different from what it was when' he first ap peared: He is now a fine-looking young mau, with a regular and handsome face, that, though somewhat plump, is yet by no means incapable of a variety-of expression. His voice- is full and manly, but rather 'harsh, and- hot well suited'to express • a variety of emotions. He seems, as might naturally be expected, to have a more com prehensive conception of the - character which; he represented, than on his former apoearanee, and if there were no extraordinary ;flashes of excel lence, there were e-jdent traces of improved judgment, and a farther acquaintance with the" passions. His deport:uent was Unaffected, and not redundant,- and t 1e whole of his perforthance was respectable:, His voice is certainly the most ob jectionable of his qualifications, but we do not agree 'with sonic of the diurnal critics, who think that he does, not knoW how to Manage it, for, in-- our opinion, he keeps it under greater Contiont• than miL;ht be expected, -considering its strength 'and intonation. They who admired hint formerly, have more reason to admire him now, as his per son better corresponds with. the age of the cha racter which lie represents, •.and_ as he may he supposed to understand, - those feelingg .w.hich he must formerly have delivered under the guidance of tuition. Upon - this ,principle too, he.has also reason to expect admirers among those who were not so originally, becauseiof the better aduptation of his age and person to the 'Character, which he supports, and the sentiments which he utters.—' Judging - , therefore; merely from his performance of last night, it is obvious that he is more entitled to public approbation' than 'when he was an?y a promising, boy,' arid ought to:have been comider ed as a curiosity; and not as, at that time, tie wonder of idolatry.- Unon the whole, he acmnit ted.himself, as we have before 'observed, in a re--, sqectable manner, and is entitled'to public pro-: tection. 11411RYMORE Payed the part of.
