The frequency or burglaries in the vicinity of Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, has become truly alarm ing ; scarcely a ni g ht no w passes with out at l east some attempt at housebreaking in that quarter. Within a ra dius of about 100 yards er less, including Bennet-street, there have been four or five houses entered during the space of a week past. The thieves break through the back part of the premises by means of a centre-bit, and take away plate and valuables of a small size. At a house in Bennet-street (where two robberies have been committed since Friday), the thieves coolly helped themselves to some wine from the cellar to refresh them whilst at their work. No blame seems fairly imputable to the parochial autho rities of Christ Church, who have adopted a new system of watching, by which boxes are removed, and every part of the district is visited by a watchman each quarter of an hour. Patrols are employed to keep the watchmen atten tive to their duty, and an active night constable superin tends the whole. It is, nevertheless, since this new sys tem has been introduced that these depredations have become so frequent. Surely there must he some defect in the general police of the country (for a local police, how ever excellent, is necessarily limited in its powers), which justifies serious complaint, when dwellings in the metro polis are at the mercy of miscreants who carry on their system of niouder almost sightly without molestation, MANSION-HOUSE.---DESTERATE PREPARATIONS FOR DUELLING.—A hair-dresser, who resides in the neighbourhood of Somerset-street, was charged by hi s wife, under the following extraordinary circumstances, before the Lotto MAYOR The complainant, upon her return home to her lodgings in the evening, after transacting some business, was told that her husband had gone up stairs with a large duelling or horse-pistol, and the ingredients for doing something despe rate. Presently she heard the report of fire-arms, and she alarmed the neighbourhood. An officer immediately entered and proceeded to the defendant's room, in the expectation of finding him a corpse, but, to his astonishment, he found the hair-dresser very coolly charging his pistol, in order to fire at a piece of paper which was fixed against the wall. There was already a bullet-mark in the wall, but at such a distance from the target as proved that the marksman was not a very skilful hand. The Officer took the pistol from him, and asked him what, in the name of God, he meant by firing it in the bouse,? To this question he made no reply. He did not appear disposed to act violently, and consented to go to the watch house at once. His wife's alarm for him, as well an for herself, induced her to charge him, and leave him under the protection of the venerable constable of the watch, and all she now wanted was, to have him home as soon as possible, as several . gentlemen wanted to be shaved. Mr. Hobler (to the wife)—Pray, Ma'am, what colour was the powder ?—(Laughter.) • The defendant's wife said that it was black, of course, like all gunpowder. Mr. Hobler—What business has he with gunpowder? Let him stick to the powder whose qualities lie understands best ; white powder, or good flour.—(Laughter.) The LORD Maros—My good fellow, what did you mean by going on in that strange way ; did you mean to ki!i anybody? Defendant—l meant no harm, my Lord; but I was in sulted, and I was preparing to defend myself. The LORD MAYOR—But why did you practice in a room ? It was enough to frighten your poor wife out of her life. Defendant—lt could do no harm, for the wall was double, and the ball couldn't go through to the next house, and there was nobody but myself in the room, so that no body worth while could he hurt.—(Laughter.) One of the crowd—My Lord, he was going to tight a "dooel " with another gentleman!.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hobler—To fight a duel ! aye, with a couple of puffs. No, no, my friend, don't fight ; or, if you do, fight white; blow powder at your antagonist until you make him as pale in the face as a sheet.—(Loud laughter.) The Loan MAYOR—What offence has been given you, my friend? If you have been struck we'll grant you a summons, or, if you are afraid of violence, we'll protect you. Defendant—Afraid ! no, no, my Lord ; but I have been grossly insulted ! The LORD MAYOR—But if you go on in this way, with such desperate weapons, nobody will like to put himself tinder your hands, as the principal weapon of your trade is a dangerous one.—(Laughter.) Mr: Holler asked thedefenClant's wife whether she was afraid of him ? She replied that she had not the slightest dread of him in any respect. The I.oßn MAYOR-Then you may take him home with you, but he must leave his firearms here. . - The defendant said he never wished to see the pistol again, hut declared that he Enerely intended to use it upon being attacked. GUILDHALL.—John Kean was re-examined yester.. day before Mr. Alderman FARFEROTHER, on smipiciou of Lacingobtained goods tinder false pretences from 'rations parties. _ The prisoner had teen remanded, that further evidence might be adduced upon the charges already stated, but no such evidence was tendered. A new charge, however, was tendered by Mr. Edwards, a woollen-draper in Regent-street, who stated, that in 1827 he supplied some cloth to the prisoner while he was carrying on business as a tailor in Rathbone-place, in pay ment for which he received three hills of exchange, and not one of them proved worth a farthing. He hail heard the prisoner was in custody accidentally since he had come into the city that morning, and was not prepared to pro duce the bills or to state the particulars of them; but he belieVed one of them, for 141., was accepted by a Mr. Parker, a boat-builder, in '.the Horseferry-road, and anotherfor the like. sum by Mr. Roberts, of Northampton square. He had no recollection of the third bill, but the parties to neither of them could be found when the bills came to maturity. Mr. Alderman FAninnontEa said, be should have an opportunity of producing the bills on a future day, and in the mean time he might inquire particularly whether the names on them were those of real or fictitious personages. The magistrate asked Brand, the marshalman, what had been the result of his inquiries as to the three bills found on the prisoner's person. Brand said, the bills were drawn upon a David Dickin son, of Boston, one for 20/. the other two for 1001. each ; and one of the latter was made payable ft Messrs. Young and Co., bankers, Smithfield. On inquiring there, he was told that they had an account with John Dickinson, but they knew nothing of David ; and from their knowledge of the place, they felt convinced there was no David Dick inson carrying on business as a grazier there. Mr. Wooler, for the prisoner, put in a letter from David Dickinson himself, received by post, in answer to one writ ten by the prisoner on Saturday last, and lie had two per sons from.Beston then in court to prove that there was such a roan in existence, but until the Alderman decided that one or other of the cases would authorize a commit ment, he would not enter upon any defence. _ _ Mr. Alderman FAREancTHEn. called for one of the bills in the hands of the complainant, to compare the writing with the letter, and with that upon other bills, and then asked if the prisoner was prepared to shew that there was such a person as George Kean, who appeared to be the drawer td one of them. Mr. Wooler restrained the prisoner from answering. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHEa consulted the clerks in an under tone upon getting the evidence of the postmaster at Boston that there was no David Dickinson there, and committing the prisoner on suspicion of forgery. The prisoner said he would facilitate the inquiry after David by giving his address. Be lived at Edward Dickin son's, Falcon-square, Boston. The bills found on him had been accepted by David as an accommodation to enable pri soner to pay for the lease of a house in Fetter-lane which he had purchased of Mr. Simpson, of Cornhill. One of the 1 001. bills bad been made payable on Messrs. Sharpe and Son, bankers, Smithfield, which firm had at the time ceased to carry on business there, and Mr. Simpson therefore re jected it. A second bill for the same amount was imme diately prepared, and made payable .at Messrs. Young's, but Mr. Simpson preferred taking prisoner's own accept ances for the required amount. The 1001. bills therelore remained in prisoner's hands. He afterwards sold the house to Mr. Courteney, a cheesemonger, in Fetter-lane, who paid the purchase-money to Mr. Simps.m, and Mr. Simpson gave prisoner an undertaking to provide for his acceptances as they became due. The Arsretotalcaiked if he had brought Mr. Simpson to corroborate this statement?—Prisoner bad not, but he banded in Mr. Simpson's undertaking. After some conversation as to whether the first charge brought against the prisoner respecting the skins was not the strongest to commit upon, as all the others appeared to be defective, or out of the Magistrate's jurisdiction, the prisoner was remanded till Monday. QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Sarah Martin and Mary Ann Storer, two girls of the town, w ere b roug ht charged with a v i o l ent outrage on a young l a d y o f respecta before M r . MAnittorr, Camden-town, and also b t t p y e , rs r e o s n i d o i g M w i s i s tl ll: h a e r r i a fatherS m ith at, robbing her of a cornelian locket. , The complainant stated, that on the previous evening she was returning from a friend's house at Clapham, and being unable to procure a stage, she had walked all the way, which made her rather late. As she was proceeding home up Parliament-street, between the Horse Guards and Charing-cross, the two prisoners and another woman came up to her, and abused her in the grossest language. She hurried on, to endeavour to aveid them, being greatly alarmed, when the prisoner Martin struck her a violent blow on the side of the head, which broke her bonnet, and at the same time switched at her brooch, which she broke off, and almost strangled her, by pulling a riband which st4e wore round her neck. During the time; the other prisoner struck her several violent blows on the back. Witness saw Martin pass the brooch to the other woman, who was not in custody. Fearful that she should be The watchman deposed to taking the prisoner Martin into custody, and the other followed him all the way to the watch-house, and it was with the greatest difficulty he could protect the young lady from her violence; as soon as he got assistance he had her secured. Henry Duly, the night constable, deposed to the violent conduct of both prisoners when brought into the watch house, particularly the female Starer, who, while he was taking the charge, seized the young lady's bonnet and tore it in pieces, using at the same time the most disgusting language. He knew her to be one of the most desperate women in Westminster. The prisoners conducted themselves with the greatest effrontery. but said nothing in defence. Mr. Maartrorr ordered them to be fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the parties to be bound over to prosecute. BOW-STREET.—Blcastr.--A respectable looking man, named Danvers, applied to the sitting Magistrates, Sir RICIIARD BIANIE and Mr. HALLS, for a warrant against his wife, to whom be had been married some time, but whose former husband (William Burns) was now found to be living. Mr. HALLs—If you have any proof of this, we have no objection to grant a warrant. Applicant—l am prepared to prove her marriage with Burns, which took place at St. Sepulchre's in 1813. Mr. Haus—Oh, very well. Pray, bow have you re ceived the information ? Applicant—l can produce a let ter from Burns himself, in which he states all particulars. I can produce the certificate of their marriage, wherein she is called Elizabeth Hutchins ; but from information I have received, which I think I may rely upon, I understand I shall be able to procure half a dozen other certificates of her marriages, although under different names. Mr. HALLS—That is no matter, if she can be identified as the same person. Applicant—l think whatever day she appears before your worship, I shall be able to prove more cases than one against her. Mr. HALLS expressed a wish to assist him in this affair, and granted a warrant for that purpose. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday this office was crowded, in consequence of the re-examination of John Thomas Hopkinson, alias _Barrow. The prisoner is a young man about 27 years of age, (as well as the age of one of his colour can be gnesed at), of a copper hue, with black woolly hair, about 5 feet 7 inches in height, well made, and fashionably dressed, and, as if labouring under a fit of the gout, on this occasion wore a boot on one foot only, and a red morocco leather slipper on the other. It appeared that when he obtained goods, he kept himself as much as possible out of the sight, and wrote notes to the different tradespeople whom be felt disposed to dupe, simi. lar to that which appeared in the Times of Monday last, as addressed by him to Miss Hopton, the bonnet-maker in Oxford -street, in the name either of Mr. llopkinson, the respectable banker in Regent-street, or Mr. Hopkinson, an equally respectable gentleman, residing at Grove Cot tage, Cambridge, varyinr , only the name of the person addressed, the nature of the goods required, and the ad dress to which they were to be sent ; and all the trades people in attendance yesterday, with few exceptions, pro duced, as their first introduction to the bench, a letter of this description, dated either from No. 2, Euston-grove, New-road ; Park-road, St. John's-wood; Benfield-park, Hants ; Cowley-grove, Uxbridge ; or Holborn-court chambers, Gray's-inn. A solicitor who attended for some of the complainants said, that before any of the cases were gone into, he begged to state, that he knew i‘Tr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, ver y well, who was a most respectable gentleman ; and that the prisoner at the bar was not one of that family, or in the least like them either in person or character ; anti it wa quite unnecessary for him to state that the family of 114. 5 Hopkinson, the banker, was equally untainted by any con nexion with, or knowledge of, the prisoner. The first complainant was Mr. Lambert, a livery-stable keeper in Lincoln's-inn-fields, who stated, that on the let of May last, the prisoner came in persen to his stables, and represented himself to be Mr. Hopkinson, Lof Grove cottage, Cambridge—that he wanted the use of a horse for hire for twelve months, and such a one as he could either ride or drive in harness—that he would still keep the horse there at livery, and pay monthly for the use of it. He gave his address " Holborn-chambers, Gray's-inn," and referred for his character and respectability to Sir Ni cholas Tindal, the present Solicitor-General. Witness agreed to let the prisoner have a mare worth 30 guineas, which in fact lie took away the next day, and never after returned, nor was any thing heard of the prisoner until the following Ascot Heath Races, where he was seen with the mare. Witness inquired about the prisoner at Sir Ni cholas Tindal's, and he understood when he first sent to inquire, that the servants said there was 'such a person as the prisoner intimate with the family; but when he sub sequently went himself, he found it was a mistake, and that Sir Nicholas Tindal knew nothing of such a man as the prisoner. Witness said that he afterwards got hack his mare, in a manner that Mr. Hyder, a coach-maker in Oxford-street, could better describe. Air. Hyder said, that about the 2d or 3d of May the pri soner came to him, and represented himself to be Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, and said that he wanted a handsome Stanhope made, he did not care about price, so as it was an elegantly finished one. Lie had bee❑ recom mended, he said, by Mr. Massesbourgh, of Cambridge, and as he (Mr. Hyder) had only the week before com pleted a carriage for Mr. Massenbourgh, who is a highly respectable gentleman, he thought he could not have a bet ter introduction, and while the new one was building be let the prisoner have for immediate use a Stanhope worth about 501., which he drove away the next day with Mr. Lambert's horse. Witness went in the first instance to Mr. Lambert's, where the prisoner told him he kept his horse, and Mr. Lambert certainly told hint, on inquiring the prisoner's character, " that all was right," at least he (Mr. Hyder) understood so at the time, and that the pri soner was acquainted with the family of Sir Nicholas ; but this, it seems, afterwards turned out to be a mistake. Witness, however, heard nothing more of the prisoner until he happened one day during the last Ascot races to be at Windsor, where lie accidentally learned that a person answering the description of the prisoner, with a horse end chaise answering to the description of those missing, was stopping at one of the inns there, but that the chaise, .horse, and driver, were just then on the race-course for the day at Ascot-heath. To the heath accordingly the witness went, and he was not long there when he observed the prisoner driving about at a dashing rate in his gig, and with Mr. Lam bert's horse. He made up to the prisoner as quickly as he could, and seizing him, gave him, the gig, and the h or se into the custody of a country constable, to keep charge of while he (Mr. Hyder) went about the course to look for Sir Richard Birnie, to have his advice as to how lie had best proceed ; but when be came back to where he had left the prisoner, constable, horse, and gig, all had vanished, and it afterwards appeared that the prisoner bad bribed the constable to let hit► go and drive off with the horse and gig. Witness having, however, learned that the prisoner set off with the gig and horse towards Egham, he (Mr. Hyder) pursued that road on foot, and never stopped until he came to Egham, where he found that the prisoner had already arrived. Here a Mr. Powel, 11, horse-dealer, who resides at Egham, interfered, Mr. Hyder said, and possessed himself of the gig and horse, saying, .that he had lent the prisoner 121. upon them, and he should not part with theM until that sum was paid, and when he (Mr. Hyder) said that he should insist on getting back his gig, both the prisoner and Powel put themselves in fighting attitudes, and threatened to thresh him. In the cud, how ever, Powel, on learning the real nature of the transaction, said that he would suffer one-third of the loss of 121., and if Mr. Hyder would give him 41., and Mr. Lambert 41. more, he would give them up the horse and gig, which was ultimately agreed to, and thus Mr. L'►►nbert recovered his mare, and he (Mr. Hyder) got back his gig. The prisoner, in reply to this case, said that it was ut terly false in Mr. Powel to say that he bad lent him 121. on the gig and horse. The fact, be said, was, that he went to Egham en a visit, by invitation, during the Ascot Races, to Mr. Powers house ; and if Mr. Hyder and Mr. Lambert were fools enough to give Mr. Powel 4/. each for nothing at all, that was no fault of his (the prisoner's.) Mr. DYER ordered that this case should stand over, and that Mr. Powel should be summoned to attend at this office, and state what he knows of this transaction, which at present bears rather an awkward appearance for the prisoner. The next ca , e was that of Mr. Wells, a saddler, in Tet. tenharn-court-road, of whom the prisoner obtained a set of harness, in the name of Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, and which was sent to Park-road, St. John's-wood. The next was Mr. Greeu, the proprietor of Wills's coffee-house, Serle-street, Lincoln's-ins-fields, who re• ceived a note from the prisoner, stating that he had a party of friends to dine with him that day, and that he had only just then discovered that his stack of wine was nearly exhausted, and that he wanted for instant use half a dozen of Port, ditto Claret, ditto Sherry, ditto Bucellas, ditto Brandy, all of the very best quality, and such as he (Mr. Green) was in the habit of supplying to Sir Charles We therell, the Attorney-General, who had recommended the writer to Mr. Green. This letter was brought by the man-servant of the prisoner, who said, as indeed also did the letter, that this was only part of a largo order which Mr. Hopkinson intended to give the next day, when the whole would-be paid for, provided this sample was ap proved of. The wine, &c. was accordingly sent by the porter, who was accompanied by the prisoner's servant to No. 2, Euston-grove, where it was delivered, as supposed, for Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge. Inquiry was afterwards made of Sir Charles Wetherell, who of course knew nothing of the prisoner. Mr. Green said that he now recollected the prisoner used to come to his house some years ago when he lived in the service of Mr. Serjeant Rough, at No. 36, Lincoln's-inn-fields, for wines and other things for his master's use ; and on comparing some of the prisoner's hand-writing, which he, Mr. Green, had at that time, with this note from Euston-grove, the writing- ap peared to be the same. Mr. Butterworth. the bookseller, in Fleet. street, said that he had twice been addressed by the prisoner by letter, once as Mr. I3arrow, a friend, as he represented, of Mr. Zachary Macauley, and lately again as Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, a friend to Mr. Ray, a gentleman well-known to Mr. Butterworth. This last letter appeared to be written in a different hand from the first, but in both in stances the prisoner obtained some book. Several persons stepped forward, who said that they had seen the prisoner write, to inspect these letters, but none of them could speak positively to their being in his hand-writing. Mr. Nettleton, a tailor, had supplied the prisoner so late as the Ist of Au g ust, he said, with a suit of livery and other articles for his servant, which were delivered at No. 2, Euston-grove. Mr. Kerson, a cutler, in Piccadilly, was another suf ferer in the way of several sets of cutlery, &c. Mr. Marsh, another coach-maker, said feat he had, with little advantage, supplied the prisoner with a sten hope which he never saw since. George %%'ebb, the toll-collector at Battle-bridge-gate, said that he came to prefer a charge against the prisoner for driving over him at the above gate, he had little doubt in the above stanhope of Mr. Marsh ; to avoid the toll the prisoner drove through the gate at full speed, knocked him (Webb) down, and so disabled him that this was the first day he was able to come out. The prisoner was ordered to be detained on this charge of assault if all others should fail, and notice given to Webb. A person from the Society of Gray's-inn stated that the prisoner hired chambers belonging to the Inn in Holborn court, as Mr. Hopkinson of Cambridge, and referred to Sir Nicholas Tindal for his respectability, but he was very soon found out to be a swinel:er, and he was turned out of the chambers, which were taken possession of by force, although he kept them locked, and has ever since retained the key. After he took the chanahers, not an hour in the (lay elapsed that tradespeople of all descriptions were not sending their goods there ; but when the Society disco vered what the prisoner really was, they placed a porter at the entrance to the chambers to caution every one who came not to leave their property, and in this way many hundred.' north of goods were saved. A gentleman came forward, and stated that he knew the prisoner in Demerara many years ago ; he was then an under clerk to a Mr. Holmes, a barrister there, and afterwards held some situation with Mr. Serjeant Rough. The pri soner's real name, this gentleman said, is Barrow, and not Hopkinson. lie is a native of Barbadoes, and not of Demerara. Mr. DtiER...--4 know his name is Barrow, and although he affected to he quite indignant with me the other day for seeming to doubt that he ever was secretary either to Mr. Serjeant Rough or to the President at Demerara, I now know that he never was any thing at Demerara, but an under clerk to Mr. Montague the barrister there, and before that with somebody else, and latterly with Mr: Serjeant Rough, in whose service he never held any situation but that of a very inferior one indeed, and who at last dismissed him altogether. There were a vast number of other charges to be pre ferred against the prisoner, but the hour was so late that it was impossible to get through them, and the prisoner was again remanded to Wednesday next. It was mentioned to Mr. Dyer that the prisoner sever held the situation of private secretary to Mr. Sergeant Rough, when that gentleman was Chief Justice of the Co lony, as Mr. Basil Montagu, son of the Chancery Barrister, filled that post, and the prisoner was a clerk in the latter gentleman's office. His father was a native of this coun try, and settled at Demerara, where he married a female of colour, and the prisoner is a mulatto. The following are the principal circumstances attending the prisoner's ab duction of a young lady named Daniels, the daughter of the Rev. Mr. D--, a gentleman residing in Pad dington accidentally encountered Miss D-, in the Regent's Park, about three years ago, and his insinuating address prevailed on the unfortunate young lady to grant him several private interviews, in the course of which he succeeded in captivating her affections. A week or two after the commencement of their acquaintance, he wrote a letter to her, in which he intreated her to fly with him to the Continent. The young lady determined on not withdraw ing from the protection of her friends, and at her next in terview with Barrow, she acquainted him with the line of conduct she intended to adopt. Barrow then solicited her to pay a visit to his aunt, who lived in Leicester square, and he proceeded with his victim to the Sabloniere Hotel, in Leicester-square, where he took such improper freedoms with her person, that the waiters interfered, and he then took ber to the Key, in Chandos-street, Covent garden, where he said " the people were not so particular." At this place he ordered refreshments, and it is alleged that lie infused a narcotic drug in a glass of wine, which Miss D. drank. Whilst she was asleep lie accomplished his purpose, after which he left the house, telling the land lord that " tlse young lady would pay the reckoning," and never returned. He was apprehended on this charge by the Rev. Mr. D., and examined before Sir G. FA 'marry, who, after a long investigation, discharged him, Mr. D. declining to follow up the prosecution. TLIAMES-OFFICE.—A communication was yester day made at this office relative to the death, by drowning, of a female, under circumstances involving some mystery.

At a meeting of the Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society, called for the pur pose of paying an honourable tribute of respect to. the memory of Doctor William Thornton, late one of its zealous and much esteemed members, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : " This Board having heard with very deep regret of tht , death of Doctor William Thornton, one of its earliest and most highly valued members, and whose loss must be severely felt by the friends of Africa and mankind, " Therefore resolved, that as a tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased, the members of this Board will; attend his funeral; and that they will wear crape on the left arm for thirty days. • "Resolved, that the above preamble and resolution be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and published in the National Intelligences of this city." Columbian Institute, April 1, 1826. At a special meeting, held this day, the following reso lution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a discourse be delivered before the insti tute on the character of the late Doctor Thornton, one of the founders of the society ; and that the members wear crape oue month as a marl: of respect for his memory, A. DICKINS, *Sec. The funeral of the late Dr. Thornton took place last Sunday, and on that occasion every honour that could be shown either by citizens or strangers, to soothe his amiable and bereawsd family, and evince the sincerity of public re gard for his merits and memory, was manifested. His body was accompanied to the place of inter- . ment by the President of the United StateS, the • heads of departments, members of Congress, and functionaries of the Corporation; and on this me- • lancholy occasion, the associates of the Columbian ' institute having voted to wear badges of mourning for him, were joined by the medical and other learned Societies to which he belonged, an by other respectable citizens, who all discovered unusual sym pathy, in paying this last tribute of respect to his remains. If the practice of lavishing (Ibituary praise in all our public Journals had not almost broken down the distinctions between merit awl mediocrity, and depreciated the value of any ex pression of public opinion, it would be a sadly pleas ing employing to sketch the biography of Dr. Thorn ton, whose genius most certainly was not of every day growth. But the abuse to which we allude will confine us to the meagre detail of a few obituary and broken sentences. Dr. William Thornton was an adopted American Citizen, he was horn in the British West Indies, in a family affluent and respectable. He was educated in classical learning, and, for his profession, in Ili,. best schools in Edinburgh. Here, after a residcm.c, of some years, he took his medical degrees, extolled for gifts and attainments. After travelling sub sequently for several years in Europe, he returned in the bloom of manhood to America; and having happily married in Philadelphia, this country therefore became the land of his choice. Durin g the first administration lie was introduced t A President Washington, whose regard he cixo, ciliated, and by whom having been appointed a Commissioner for laying out this metropolis, anti fixing his future residence here, he may be conr.i. tiered as one of its founders. As f4OOll as the sisud a trea t i Pe Office ehre Offie four tsicni Washington,mpir t d important administrations,rtale S i ritdt t i a ees Department iaaassbn‘ ,lic)t,tei became established fouled.-- Dr. Dr. Thornton was distinguished by a clear under, standing, a tenacious memory, and exuberant imagi nation. Highly gifted by nature, those gifts were exalted by an excellent education. His benevolence expanded into philanthropy, was active and bound , less. Witness the early, eager, anti disinterested efforts of argument and eloquence, which are embo died in his memorials, some of which preceded pub lie opinion, and probably contributed to incline its tardy prudence in favour of Greek liberty, and South American Independence. To try, indeed, to do great good to great numbers of unhappy men, constituted the ruling effort of his life. His tem perament was highly sensitive, and of course his character was not exempt from those alloys that are blended with genius, arid which we must take with it, or be content to live without it. He was coo‘ , scant and warm in his friendships, open and decided in his enmities. His love of knowledge was great,;. his love of liberty greater; but his greatest love was, that of truth. Truth, he incessantly sought, through every avenue of science or literature, and fearlessly pursued through the whole course of his career with unabated ardour. In every life, and emphatically in all its ende arin g characters he, p w h a i s la e n x th em ro p p l i a s r t y. nev l e n r x fine, a worerelation fervent of patriotoca l existed, nor friend, kinder kin sman, si more devoted husband , o r truer play oanndbothSsiiddet: The ' reig n last, according to uppnintni,nt ...---,/,‘„ Thor.", Clubs met " moon about four , in favour of the Alfred. latter. , The twelfth C i 0. dAugust is impatiently waited b y the numerous sportsmen from the south, who, in for tmi , on deeds of blood crowd the inns in the north.
