MURDER. boven, Nov. ;7 —An Inquest was yesterday before THOMAS M A NTELL, Esq. Coroner of aov er , on the body of JOHN PATER, when, after a Lug ai,d minute investigation, which lasted ITh any hours, the Jury unanimously returned a ll rdiet of Wilful Murder against James Pater, the 4 rother of the deceased. It appeared in evidence, "'IR on Sunday last the two brothers were at sea l 'fF Dungeness, in a fishing-smack belonging to the r 4 , and having unfortunately fallen in with a li lluggling lugger, which furnished them, with a I "PPIy of spirits, they both drank till they were intoxicated. The deceased retired to bed, h ' i t James, tht..! brother, being on deck, quarrelled ti ° l ently with one of the crew, and on the de- "a%ed going up to endeavour to pacify them, un happily influenced the brother's passion, who 'mocked him down the cabin, then followed him, a nd heat out his brains with a heavy iron maul, ti 'td for unstocking anchors. The unhappy Wretch who committed the murder is lodged in 41 " gaol, and will be removed to take his trial at Ihe Admiralty Sessions. It appears he has been s ubject to occasional fits of phrenzy, from having bail his skull twice fractured whilst serving on ‘"td a man•of-war. Both men have left wiyes 414 ( 1 families. • It may be worth while to remark the difference e ttwe en a Meeting of Gentlemen and a Meeting ° f Itetormers.—At Oxford, on Friday last, there As one solitary Radical, who loudly expressed 3 dissent from the loyal proceedings of those tv1 ) 0 were arsetrhled.

EDITOR.--YoUt Paper has been so long dis tinguished for its attachment to our Civil and Re ligious Constitution, that I shall make no apology for submitting to you a Plan for diffusing sound loyalty and rational piety throughout the king dom. Let cheap circulating depositories of Books and Tracts, written on loyal and Christian princi ples, be immediately established in every part of the Island. It is astonishing how much may be done in this manner at a very small expence. A few pounds laid out in such a collection will supply the wants of a whole neighbourhood. if a sound Newspaper could be added, it would give attrac tion to the scheme. I would have the subscrip tion not exceed one shilling per annum, and what ever were the additional expences, they might be defrayed by the opulent, who might become be nefactors or honorary subscribers. This project is well worthy the attention of all who love their country, at a moment when the licentiousness of the Press threatens to become the destroyer of its liberties. It is the most ef fective remedy which can be offe!td tor counter acting the poison of profane and s editious publi cations ; and the peculiar form which it assumes will render it popular and palatable to English- men. The best mode of establishing such Libraries would be by a private subscription amongst seve ral individuals who could agree to raise the ne cessary funds for the undertaking. A small sum would be adequate to this purpose, and they would be amply repaid . by the benefit which they bestowed on their neighbourhood. In large towns, I would recommend the collection to be of a higher order than such as was intended for country villages. It should contain several of the most popular works in defence of Christianity, besides its general assortment of tales, voyages, and travels, &c. But, in the country, small Tracts would in general be found sufficient, and these should be bound together in little volumes. By this means they would last for several years, and might each be read by many hun;red I do not fear to assert, that a shilling laid out in this manner would do more titan a pound as ex pended by our ordinary methods. And hence new publications might be constantly added, by which the attraction would be ken: up. I submit these considerations to all your Readers, but more espe cially to the Clergy, who, by this method, may, at a very small expence, obtain the direction, and retain the controul, of the major part of their poor parishioners. PUBLICOLA. IMPERIAL PRESENT —HIS Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has lately received from the Emperor of RUSSIA a very corion% tour-wheeled Summer Carriage. called a Mose Wei. It consists of a front and a side seat, con rived in a new, but very commodious manner, for two persons. It possesses the moveable axles. whirdi are now very generally adopted tbtoughout the Continent. THE LATE KING OF SARDlNlA. —Yesterday morning, a solemn Requiem )va.) pet formed in the Chapel of the SARDINIAN AMB A SSADoR in Doke street, Lincoln's Inn tiehls,Ou account ()I the death of his late Sardiniao Majesty CHARLES EMMANUEL the Fourth, who departed tis lite oil the 4th of last month at Rome. he Hu g h Mass commenced at twelve o'clock, and was performed in a must impressive manner. The Chapel on this occa sion was put in deep mourning, and the congre gation which was of the superior order, was exceedingly numerous. ELOPEMENT.—Monday night, about 12 o'clock ; a young Lady, heiress ton very considerable for tune, and only daughter of a Member of Parlia ment, eloped front her father's house, N: the west end of the town, in a post-chaise and tour, with a young Gentleman, the third son of a Clergy man, in Surrey. Neither or the parties have at tained the age of 21 ; the young Gentleman had only recently returned home iron, College. BETHNAL GREEN AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.—•• TOCSIN) , evening the Fourth Annual Meeting of this institution took place at Gibraltar Chapel, Church-street. G. BYNG, Fog 11.1 3 . was unani mously called to the Chair The Rev Mr. Platt, the Treasurer, read the Report, by which it ap peared, that 862 Bibles and Testaments had beets distributed to the poor inhabitants of the parish of Saint Matthew, Bethnal-green, and 1381. had been collected by eight Lathes, forming a Commit tee since the last meeting. The Chairman ex pressed his readiness to go to any part of the county to promote the interests of the lititish and Foreign Bible Society. Several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting on behalf of the Institu tion. The collection was very considerable. EXTRAORDINARY C I RCUMSTANCE..—DUIIIII; the late fair at Collompton, two watches were stolen, one silver and the other gold, from Mr. William %Vhitby, watchmaker, of that town. The usual means were resorted to, as in cases of that kind for convicting the perpetrators of the robbery, but to no effect. On Friday a man (a stranger), who was seen in the fair, chanced to be again in the town, and called at the Three Mariners Inn, where, shocking to relate, after being there but a few minutes, an eruption of a blood-vessel caused immediate death, when, on examination, was found upon hint the gold watch, with a quantity of base coin. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning the wife of a tradesman at Putney attempted to put a period to her existence by throwing herself into the Thames, near the wooden bridge ; being seen by several persons, who instantly rushed to her assistance, she was prevented from completing the horrid act, and restored to her friends. POETRY. IMPROMPTU. Pray is it cowardice or faction Which makes some Officers resign, Lest that events should lead to ac4on— Or rather, may not both combine ? N..8.-=-A Mr. HAMDEN, Deputy Lieutenant, and Com mandant of the First Halifax Regiment of Local Militia, under Lord FITZWILLIAM, has sent hip Resignation of both Commissions to Lord LASCELLEI. THE DEVIL'S OWN HUNT. SATAN, Who felt himself so, so, itesolv'd lie would a hunting go o To cute his fit of spleen "I'was settled soon ; for, at his back ) The Devil always has a pack Of sad dogs, gaunt and keen. He chose a Huntsman ; stout and bold, Who, when the scent was rather cold, Would loudly chide the Hounds , You might this clamorous Huntsman hear, With vicei of thunder, far and near, On other people's grounds. He soon let slip these dogs of war, Fatn'd fur their stomach's ample maw; To them all prey was game. Unqualified, unlicenc'd, too, Satan maiutain'd this rebel crew— The Devil's Hunt their name. Then came two Doctor Demagogues, And they would physic these poor dogs, To make them all give tongue; Loquacious Jos es brought izelltbore, WATSON, to make them bellow more, Pruduc'd his Devil'* dung. PEARSON the Grim his wit applied, To prove the pack was qualified To /feint all suits of prey. The Huntsman, at the sound of law, Held up his stout Herculean pasv, And thunder'd, " Hark away." The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty, Exclaim'd, at once, to hush the cry, (And dauntless was her form,) " This Huntsman bold no man shall fear, Though once he brew'd the Devil's beer, And now would brew a storm." FOR 11-1 E SUN. Ma. EDITOR—In the Advertisement which ap pears in your Paper of this day, concerning the proposed Cenotaph of Doctor IVoLcoT, 1 observe a strange ambiguity—an unintentional one, I am sute. Take the trouble, Sir, of reading it once more, and you will perceive that it leaves the matter quite uncertain, whether it is to he erected to the Poe' distinguished under the name of PETER PIN DAR, of to Doctor JOHN WoLcoT's Memory, under that natne,—The former, I presume, but the latter may be equally inferred frotn the advertise ment.— _ _ _ You bare readers, perhaps, who would sub . straw, when they know exactly for what. NQD 19,. QUERY. THE THEATRR.—After the representation of the Tragedy of Fazio last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, in which Mr. C. KEMBLE and Mrs. BURN exerted themselves much to their credit, and obviously to the satisfaction of the audience, ladg:ng from the applause which they excit• ed, a new Musical Interlude was brought forward, under the title of Helpless Animals. It seems to be intended as a parody on the trans lated pieces brought forward last season at the Haymarket Theatre and the English Opera House, the characters of which consisted entirely of Women, who, however, found in the end that they could not do without Men. The piece of last night, on the other hand, was to sbew that men are hut poor forlorn creatures without women. The idea was apposite, and it has beets catried into effect with diverting hu mour. Mrs. DAVISON, under the disguise of a kshire Lad, named Robin, contrives to become the Cook to this society of helpless Cele bates, one of whom is her Lover, and of whose atlection she convinces herself by adroit manage ment. Her blunders in cookery plainly proved that she had not studied, or rather intentionally violated, the precepts of the " MODERN Aricsus." A sucking pig, boiled instead of roasted; petit-toes smothered with snuff, tripe boiled in vinegar, and Other dishes equally loxut ions, con situted the feast prepared for this Society of Helpless Animals. At length the scheme succeeds, and the Lovers are rendered happy. The piece was well supported by ABBOTT, BLANCHARD, and RUSSELL, as well as by Mts. DAVISON, 11 is enlivened by some pleas ing and. appropriate music. Report assigns this 'interlude to Mr. PARRY, whose musical talents are well, known, and who is the au thor of High Notions, a farce successfully brought forward last season at Drury-Lane Theatre, and represented with not less success during the present. There was some chur lish opposition _to the piece of last night, but the ludictuus character of the whole, and the merit of the acting, enabled it to triumph over its splenetic opponents. Richard ectur de Lion con cluded the entertainments of the night, and vu aided Miss TEBE to appear to increased advan tage in Matilda, which she supported with good acting, as well as with musical excellence. WINDSOR, Nay. 16.—0 n Friday their Royal Highnesses the Princess AUGUSTA and the Do chess of GLOUCRSI ER went to Bagsbot Palk, and in the evening returned to the Castle to dinner.--- Saturday morning the Duke of York arrived at the Palace from London, and after visiting the King and the Princesses, his Royal Highness proceed ed to his seat at Oatlands.—On Monday morning the Princess Augusta lett here for London, to pay a congratulatory visit to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence upun their return to England. Her Royal Highness, after breakfasting with the Duke and -Duchess, returned here in the evening. STATE OF POETS. A FRAGMENT. We know not where among the same number of men, occupied in the same pursuit, so many instances of unhappiness could be discovered Some, indeed, have been the merited victims of their own intemperate follies; but to the lovers of good old times who shriek hack when they hear Of a modern Bard receiving 3000 guineas for the copy-right of a modish poem, it may afford soma consolation to review those who have been tenants of the cell or the garret, and whose stomachs have kept an inverted Sabbath of six days wit of the seven. Greene, it is true, died of a 3tirfeit of pickled herrings and old Rhenish ; Marlowe and Motteaux were killed in drunken quarrels at a brothel ; Fenton drank two bottles of Port every afternoon, in his easy chair, an:l died by attempt ing a reduction ; Randolph, Somerville, Parnell, fell sactifices to Bacchus ; Geo. Etheridge broke his neck down stairs, while bowing his ft lends out after dinner; and May was so delighted with the success of his " Breviary," that he went to bed one night atter having drank freely in apparent health, and was found dead in the morning. Some indeed assert, that his night cap was tied too tightly tinder his chin, hut Andrew Marvell attri butes his death to an equally probable cause of suffocation. Look now on the shadow site of the picture : Denham, Nat. Lee, Collins, Cowper, Smart, Brook, G. A. Stephens, liampfylde, and Ferguson, all died in idiotcy or madness; of the last a most touching incident is related :—" When committed to the receptacle of the insane, a con sciousness of his dreadful fate seemed to come over hint. At the moment of his entrance, he uttered a wild cry of despair, which was re-echoed front all the inmates of the dreadful mansion, and left an impression of inexpressible horror on the friends who attended." In a few days his po. verty-striken mother,' who had reluctantly coin. tnited her son to a public hospital, from her ina bility to support hint, received remittances suffi cient to defray the expellee of his attendance at home; but they arrived too late ; the poor maniac was already dead. Otway was suffocated from the rapacity of hunger; John Brown (the author of Barbarossa), and Chatterton, were suicides. George Wither, Dekker, Cotton, Savage, and Lloyd,- breathed their last in jails. Lovelace, once the pride of courts, atter losing his mistress, like. Biron in Isabella, escaped a prison only by concealment, and died in a miserable lodging near Shoe-lane.—Butler and Ben Jonson each expe rienced the worst extremes of poverty. Andrew Marvell is supposed to have been poisoned.— Quarles died heart-broken at the destruction of his whole possessions (among which he most re gretted leis books and MSS.) by the Puritans. Drummond is said never to have recovered his shock on hearing of the murder of Charles I. Shirty and his wife died of fright, at the fire of London ; and poor George Sewell, after writing in the Spectator, and living in a polished circle, had not a single friend to close his eyes. He was buried meanly under a hollow tree in the boundary of Hampstead Church-yard, and how ever courted in his lifetime, has not now even a turf hillock to point out the spot of his repose. The laborious antiquary, John Stowe, after dedi cating the greatest part of a life, extended far beyond the usual period of existence, to researches in which the publ!c were essentially interested, when suffering under the tortures of an excru ciating disease, and upon the very verge of the grave, was obliged to ask alms of his fellow-citi zens and countrymen. However strange this may seem, it is nevertheless true, that in the year 1604, this worthy citizen obtained from that learn ed Monarch, and great encourager of . learn ing, James 1., a license to collect " the charitable benevolence of well-disposed people" for his sub sistence. Its this brief his various labours for forty-five years spent in composing his Annals, and also eight years dedicated to his Survey of London, his merit and his age, are mentioned, and power was given to him or his deputies, to ask charily at the different churches through a considerable number of counties and cities in Eng land, with an exhortation and persuasion to per sons to contribute their mites. This was in the second .year of the King. A letter from the King on the same subject is ato extant, on the back of which seven shillings and sixpence are set down as the subscription of the parish of St. Mary Wool. 'loth, with the churchwarden's name endorsed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL HUNT.—Yesterday the Royal Stag• bounds turned out a fine deer for a day's diver sion, at lit'font, Oa Friday they will turn out at Slough. DUBLIN, Nov. 12.—0 n Wednesday last, a very handsome race took place on the Strand, near Kilbarrack Church-yard, on the road to Howtb. The race was tor a silver cup, for which. six Gentlemen had subscribed ten guineas each. The horses were rode by the Subscribers, Mr. Wilmot, Mr. William M'Gwire, Captain Bouve rie, Mr. Bellingham, Mr. Wemyss, and Mr. Corry. It was settled that it should be decided by a two-mile heat. At three o'clock the horses stat ed, and for a mile and a half, 4 of them were abreast, presenting a most interesting and well-contest ed race ; but, within a quarter of a mile of the winning-post, a woman, with a child in her arms, ran across the Strand, and, in a flight at the roars of the people who saw her danger, she fell exactly before the running horses, and inevitable destruction to her must have ensued, but that four of the Gentlemen, actuated by the same impulse, with great difficulty pulled up; in consequence of which Mr. Wilmot, who rode Mr. Bellingham's Arabian (Mary cudd)) won the race. The Gentlemen who lost were considerably annoyed by the accident ; but Mr. Belligham very generously insisted they should not be sufferers by their humanity, and proposed that there should be another race for the cup. Though the day was intensely cold, the equestrians, pedestrians, and carriages were very numerous, and all appeared delighted at the extension of their amusement ; finally, the r ace was won by Captain Bouverie, alter its being v ery well contested by Mr. Wilmot, who lost by alt a bead.
