Lord KING presented a petition from a Gentle man who the night before, while attending a de bate in that House, had had the misfOrtune to lose his umbrella. The petition was perfectly respect ful, except that it accused one or other-of their Lord ships of having stolen the article in question.— (Hear, hear.) —On a case so completely a a d ead weight" to the House—as much so, indeed, as the Corn Laws or the Currency, and one affecting too both the public and private integrity of their ord ship, more particularly the responsible Counsellors of the Crown, (here the Noble Lord glanced his eye reproachfully towards the woolsack,) he was sure no undue influence would induce them (forgetful of their own dignities) to shuffle off so important, so national - a; question. A joke, added his Lordship, with singular facetiousness, was a joke as long ac no one suffered by it; he himself was .as staunch an advocate for wit as any man could he (a laugh), but really when, through the misconduct ,of some or other of their Lordships, not only the manufacturing interests .had been lost, but • the petitioner's urn brella also, he thought it full time to discuss the subject with the gravity due to its importance.— I (Hear, hear.) • The LORD CHANCELLOR here rose, evi dently much affected. He observed, that the Noble Lord (King) had turned towards him in a manner which he could not and did not pretend to misun derstand, He denied the charge of having stolen or even pawned the umbrella, as indignantly and as energetically as he had denied the claims of the Catholics ; and, though having once used a hat as his protection from cold, it might naturally be supposed that he would lay hold of an umbrella for the same purpose; yet he called on their Lordships to recollect that the hat was his Own, and he vowed to God, that so also in a like emergency should be the umbrella. His Lordship added, that it would be in the remembrance of the Howie that he invariably carried with him a cotton umbrella, (here his Lordship pro duced an old cotton umbrella from under the wool sack, and opening it to its full extent observed, that like himself it was something the worse for wear,) 'and' would sear i cely be supposed, with a due atten tion to economy, to have stolen a silk one. if th• House disbelieved this solemn asseveration of his in nocence, be should think it his duty, to lay the seals which he had held for so many years at the feet of his Majesty. He didnot,howeverovish tohnrrytheHouee into : a decision; for he much doubtedtlie .propriety_ in charges of this nature of deciding inspatricr,, and thereby shutting out information; he should there fore try to adjourn the debate till Saturday next, when their Lordships would be enabled to come o. a clear and dispassionate judgment. Lord HOLLAND observed, that for his part, he defied the world to - say that he bad ever invaded his neighbour's property. The Duke of WELLINGTON rose under feel ings tf considerable agitation. Neither the most exalted niar . the lowest, we understood hiM to. re mark,.in station, were free from occasional charges of thii naturo: He himself had been accused, when in the Peninsula, of having purloined a book, entitled " Domestic Duties," a snuff box, mid one boot from the tent of his Noble Friend, the Marquis of .Angle sea. Looking to the present question, he rather in clined to the opinion, that the'lloble Chancellor was innocent. Lord KINGSTON observed, that he also had been accused, velien With the King, in Ireland, of a theft of a still more serious 'Ch aract er" : having been charged, in fact, with stealing the, very whiskers which he had now the honour to'exhibit to their Lordships' notice. But there were shades of dif ference in °Tory case; his barber had triumphantly exonerated him, and he hoped—indeed he was almost sure—that the Noble Lord on the Woolsack would be as triumphantly acquitted. The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed that the Lord Chancellor had certainly been seen near the übem the r efore called a rela a illed in nr t the papnod ea i t it i ti m z e trits of heed its abduction; rmieaaknet_aa td_iAl iginehnset shouldo ' se arc h ul d throughout the Woolsack. This the CHANCELLOR refused, observing that it would be an indignity Offered 'to the repre sentative of his Sovereign. The objections, how ever, being over-ruled, a diligent search was made; and the umbrella at length discovered, hid in the mace. On this his Lordship once again. protested his innocence, but the feeling of the House appear ing evidently to be against him ; a division was pressed for, and the numbers appeared For the Chancellor Against him Majority lBO We understand, that in coniequence of this result the Lord Chancellor has sent in his rcsi , gnation, and that . Mr. Joh n Wilk s, o f S u db ury, is mentioned as likely to succeed him. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester was present during the debate, and appeared much affected by the result. • NB. We have the merit g iving this Debate exclusively, it having been communicated to us by the wife of the sufferer, who, to the aggravated confusion of the chancellor, was also dis covered concealed in the Woolsack. The following is the copy of a letter written, and actually sent, by an eectionate wifleulto,haetr husband, w h o h av i ng b een cap itally convi c t e d, was sent on b oar d th e .

INDIA HOUSE MEETING. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Colonel STANliopr rose to propose an Amendment. He objected to the motion, and complained of the seven hours' speech which had been inflicted on them by the Mover. He relied on the wisdom and humanity of the Executive in India, and was decidedly of opinion with a Missionary who went out there about 100 years ago, that the practice could only be put down ef f iciently by education and a free press•—(llear, and laughter. )—Th e G a ll ant C o l one l , a f ter some other observations, concluded by moving the follow ing amendment ;--" That in the opinion of this Court, though little has been done to reform the Hindoo supersti tions, or to convert the natives to Christianity, the Go vernment of British India has at all times acted upon the philosophical principles of unlimited toleration, And has thereby secured the goad-will of its subjects. That the inhu man custom of burning widows cannot be prevented by pro hibitory edicts—i, e. force, without exciting the discon tent of seven millions, and soon or late provoking religious wars, and ultimately increasing the frightful sacrifice.— That the only safe, means of promoting among th e Hindoos the pure worship of GOD . , and preventing the burning of widows, the crushing of victims, and the drowning of sick persons in the Ganges, See. is to be found in virtuous education and free discussion, as practised under the ad ministration of the Marquis of Ila.stings." General THORNTON seconded the Amendment. The CIIAIRMAN was anxious to shorten the discussion. It would be idle to wait for the general introduction of Christianity into India, as stated by the Honourable Pro prietor, for the purposes mentioned, but he (the Chairman) believed that that expectation was more distant than was supposed. lii wished to have the matter left to their Executive Body, siho - would take the necessary measures to w rot as t ans:to solely I t o () y t hao sequestion disgraceful ofh and uin a n b i a t y r b , rn but us on c e ust o r f policy. The mutiny of .Barrackpore ought to be a useful lesson to the Government, as it was manifest that the mutineers had other objects in view than those pretended. Immediate insurrection might not be the result, but the first opportu nity would be seized by the Bralnnins, who would he all united against the Government on the question. lie sus pected the speech of the Honourable Proprietor had some ultimate object different from what appeared on the face of the motion, and lie therefore felt himself bound to oppose the motion, suggesting the propriety of leaving the matter to the discretion of the Executive Body. But for the amendment of the. Hinourable Colonel (Stanhope), he should propose an amendment. Colonel Srantore wished to know the purport of the amendment before he consented to withdraw his own. The CHAIRMAN read his amendment, which stated, that while they deplored the existence of suttee and other rights, involving the sacrifice of human life, in India, yet they re posed the most implicit confidence in the Directors, and in the intentions of the Government, to do every thing in their power for the abolition of such barbarous and inhu man customs. Colonel STANHOPE Wall satisfied with the amendment of the Chairman, and consented to withdraw his own amend ment. The DEPUTY-CHAMMAN Seconded the amendment of the Chairman. Mr. WEEDING supported the motion. Mr. RANDAL JACXSQN, at considerable length, followed on the same side. Captain MAXFIELD concurred in the amendment. Dr. GI enntsr was like a fish out of water to-day, hav ing no opportunity of making a speech. It was not, he said, fair for gentlemen at his side of the house to complain of long speeches of seven hours' length. He remembered thirty years ago, he published in a work (not his " Dic tionary,") the - mode of preventing suttee, to the effect, that the Government should not allow a Hindoo who suffered a suttee in his family, to hold office under them. He should vote for the motion. Sir ..101114 DOYLIE saw no difference between the motion and the amendment ; and although anxious to leave the question In the hands of the Executive, ,he thought the original motion ehotild be allowed to stain]. , Mr. Wicitaxr, a Director, said the motion would have the effect of recommending that suttees be put down by force—(Cries of No, no).—The honour of the British nation, and the safety of the Indian empire, were concerned. He objected 'to the word " prevention" in the original resolution, which imPlied'force; . end it was intended to blame the Government in India and the Directors at home. Mr. MARTeN could sea no difference between the motion and the amendment, and was at a loss to account for tbe opposition. The CLIAIAMAN did not wish to adhere to his amend issent pertinaciously against the sense of the Court, and was satisfied to withdraw it, on the assurance of the mover and the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. R. Jackson,) that they did not intend to follow up the motion by a recommendation to use force, as an alternative, in putting down suttees. Mr.' POYNDER would give nopledge,'but disclaimed the 'imputation east upon him by the Chairman. He had no intention•of urging the necessity of employing force. Sir CHARLES FO4DICS, in very warm language, com mented on What had fallen from the Director (Mr. Wigram). Mr. Win RAM explained. A very long and irregular discussion here followed, in which several Proprietors and Directors took part, Mr. Poynder claiming the right to reply ; and a resolution for an adjournment being moved by Captain Maxfield, and se conded by Dr. Gilchrist, the Chairman at length consented to withdraw his amendment, and the original notion was put and carried by a great majority, there being but five against it. Dr. GILCHRIST said, as several motions remain undis posed of, he recommended an adjournment to a future day, as it would be impossible to go through the business at that late hour (neat seven "o clock); particularly as he intended to make a speech on one of the resolutions of two hours at least.—(Hear, bear, and laughter.)—Re therefore moved an adjournment to that day se'nnight. The CHAIRMAN objected to so short an adjournment, as he should not be able to attend to his other official duties. He suggested that the motions be put off till the nett General Court. Dr. Grt.ornrsr would not consent to this, as he should lose the opportunity of letting out some matters of im portance previously to the election. This was the more necessary, as he (Dr. G.) : , ,nd six others were cand i dates for the ' vacant Directorships. How would it be if the others should go to the bosom of Abraham before the ter mination of the election? Would he (Dr. G.) in that c mind, he put it hypothetically—walk over the course a nd get inside the bar ? CHAIRMAN--Oh !

D.AVIES• se directed by the Lord Chancellor, to whether the plaintiff was the legitimate son of '‘l in r• tl iqorris, d e ceased, and as such, entitled to the estates "" county of Montgomery, of the value of about 30 ,000/ • While the Officer of the Court was calling the Jury, M r . Bellin uY, the Clerk of the Arraigns, entered the Court, and acquainted the Juke that Mr. Baron Garrow, who was so ill as to be taken out of Court yesterday, was not able to attend to-day. Mr. Taunton and Mr. Sergeant Peake are the only gentlemen in the corrimislion, and it was necessary to require the assistance of ono of them, for there were still many prisoners untried. "Jr. Baron IrAtoonAN—lf my brother Peaks can be prev a il e d upon, i t i s a matter of n e c ess it y , an d f or t h e goo d of the public. A short conversation ensued between Mr. Taunton, Mr. Sergeant Peake (who was engaged with Air. Taunton for the defendant), and Mr. Baron Vaughan, after which Mr. Sergeant Peake went to preside at the Criminal Court, and did not return until Mr. Taunton had finished his reply. The Jury were then sworn, and Mr. Witsasiacy opened the Pleadings. Mr, Cuitwoon—This issue is directed from the Court of Chancery, but you are not, therefore, to infer that the Lord Chancellor entertains any doubt upon the matter in issue, for, however clear the ease may be, it is the uni forth practise of that Court, where an important matter is de nied, to, send an iss ue to a jury to decide -it. In the investigation that is now to take place, you are not tb re tinae p ro w . a t h e physical Act a William Morris Laying actually begotten the child, but you aro to inquire whether by the law of England the plaintiff is the eon of William Morris. I shall, under his Lordship's correction, state the law. By the ancient rule of the law of England, when a man and woman are once married every child born of that woman is deemed legitimate, if the husband is within the realm of England, intra quatu6r maria. The law is still the same, but the rule of evidence has been relaxed, for now the admission of evidence is permitted to show that the husband cannot be physically the father of the child. In the ease of "the King and Lough," Lord Ellenboroegh decided that where there are physical impossibilities, evi dence of them mai , be given; but there is a marked dis tinction between probabilities and possibilities, and you are not to act on probabilities. In the case I have men tioned, the husband only proved access within one week be. fore tie birth of the child, and yet it was not until after a long serious argqrnent and great consideration that the child was adjudged 'il l egitimate. In the ease of: " Head and Head," where th'e plaintiff claimed to be eon of a man who had no knowledge that such a being was in existence, the whole evidenee was, that he went once or twice to his wife, who was the mother of the child, and then not alone. The Learned Judge before whom that issue wax tried said, here is no impossibility, and directed the Jury to find for the legitimacy. You will, therefore, attentively mark the distinction between probability and possibility. We shall show access, and a clear possibility that William Morrhs might be the father of the plaintiff, and that is fully , efficient to establish our case. The defendant may, per haps, endeavour to sully the character of Mrs. Mary Mor. ris ; but if that attempt, is made, the evidence to support it cannot be reserved. The Vice-Chancellor expressly laid down the rule in " Head aokflead," that if Mut qidence did not ekeludeAl possibility of the husband being the fa ther by reason of non-access or other causes, it could not be received. The brOid rule of law ii,' that the child be presumed to be the son of the husband, Unless it is, proved that he could not by possibility be the father. I will show that a child was horn of the body of Mrs. Morris, wife of William Morris, though not cohabiting with him. William Morris was married to his wife Mary in 1778. They re sided in Shrewsbury till 1788, and had one daughter, named Harriet, who married the defendant Davies, and they are now in possession of the estate claimed. Morris was a quiet, and rather a parsimonious man ; Mrs. Morris, on the contrary, was gay and extrava gant. They did not live happily, they had mutual bicker inge, which ended in a separation. They had both landed property. The lady went to her own estate, the White House, at Llanfair ; he went to Argoedd, about ten miles distant. When separated, they became better friends' than when they lived together ; he sent her presents, and they frequently visited. On Saturday, the sth of January, 1793, Mrs. Morrie was delivered of the plaintiff. Within a very few hours after its birth, the child was carefully packed up, carried nearly 30 miles on horseback, and lodg edin the house of a Mr. Austin, a weaver, at Warn, and remained there 10 years. Mrs. Morris visited the child at school, caressed it, and showed for it all the affection of a mother during this period ; but her daughter marrying Mr. Davies, and her husband dying, her maternal affection became perverted, and she sought to discard the child. An attempt was made to trepan him abroad, hut being a sharp lad, he escaped the snare, and went back to his school, where he found friends who instituted his suit ; which would have been determined long since had not the most material witness, the witness of his birth, been kept out of the way. I will not say by whose machinations this was done, but for nine years the woman who delivered Mrs. Morris was not forthcoming. She was a favourite servant, and it appears was taken care of all that time. Her hiding place was at length discovered, and, under the Lord Chancellor's warrant, she was taken to the fleet prison, where she remained in contempt of Court a whole twelvemonth, refusing to give evi dence ; until she fell sick, when in a fit of remorse, the gave her answers to interrogatories filed in the suit pending in the Court of Chancery. The question for your decision is, whether the plaintiff is, by the law of England, the legitimate child of William Morris? I shall prove access beyond doubt. Many witnesses will prove that Mr. and Mrs. Morris were seen together before the birth of the child. One day, they rushed into each other's arms, where they both fell a weeping, and afterwards retired to gether. They slept one night in the house of a lady who is too old to remember enough to state positively that they slept together, although there is no reason to doubt it.— Can you, after this, say that there was no possibility of Breen ? The case is simple : if access is proved, the law makes tho deduction that the child is legitimate. You may ask why Mrs. Morris concealed the birth of the child ? I am not bound to account for her having so done ; but there is one circumstance that may throw light upon - this matter; Mrs. Morrie, although entitled to considerable landed pro perty, had, on her marriage, only 1001. a year settled upon her ; but after the separation, she was let into the possession of hex own estate ' • and she apprehended the loss of that estate, if she was known to come to her husband again ; for on one occasion she said to her servant, "Morris want ed to sleep with me—l would not let him, because if I Lad, I should have been sent back to my bread and cheese again."—Mrs. Morris had a favourite servant, of the name of Austin, now deal. I fear attempts will be made to sully her character, and to show that she had intercourse with him. If so, I submit, that no evidence tending to such proof can be admitted. That is established by the Banbury peerage case. If this issue is to be decided by the rules of the law of England, there can be but one conclusion. The law is founded upon deep wisdom ; and the rule I have endeavoured to lay down partakes of that wisdom ; and I trust you will not subvert it. It has been the law from remote ages. It is also the law of the great est part of Europe, and is derived from the Romans.

In 1818 he advertised that he had some money to dispose of by way o f lo a n. Among r in o c orr u n r ie : ye N‘ i a t .ti t f r r l : e : s m ss Younger. He said he was desirous of borrowing 1,0001. people who applied to him, was Orchard the for his father, on mortgage. He described hi s f at h er as old and infirm. That he was in the habit of transact ing all his business, and that not more than 14 per cent. toldthan him five per that e lendp loan. another per son he would let him know. The prisoners were then both strangers to him. He mentioned the circum stance to an attorney named Berry ; and in conse quence of what passed between them, Berry and young ehliwould u t. l , d client b b g t w ould iv i e f n if:ern couldt It Orchard had au interview, at which the latter produced some deeds. (These deeds were now put in.) The first was dated October 11, 1784, which s howed that the estate of Ford (the one to which this i n dictment referred) was granted by a cousin of the elder Orchard, to him. Upon looking over that instrument, it appeared that there had been a prior mortgage on the property for 5001.; and there were other circumstances which led him to look into other deed s , to see how that mortgage bad been discharged.__ Subsequently, Mr. Berry consented to waive certain ob jections which he took to the title, and to advance the sum required, 0 on having the Ford est a t e conve y e d to hi s c li ent, Mr. Berry, on the behalf of Mrs. Lane. Having prepared the conveyance, the 23d December, 1818, was fixed for its completion. On that day, the two prisoners attended toge ther at Mr. Berry's house, but the deed was only executed by Orchard the elder. The deed was a mortgage of the Ford estate, in South Tawton, for securing the repay ment of 1,000/. and interest. It contained a covenant that the estate was absolutely the property of the elder prisoner. The eon examined the money, and took it into his charge. At a later period of the day, young Orchard paid a sum into the hands of one of the firm of the Devonshire Bank on his own account. Throughout the whole transaction, the younger prisoner said the estate belonged to his father. In 1823, Mr. Berry died, and he (the witness) succeeded him as Mrs. Lane's attorney. In that year Mrs. Lane directed him to apply to Mr. Orchard for the interest then in arrear, and having failed in obtaining it, he, about March 1824, gaye a notice of sale under the mortgage deed. Various causes contributed to , delay the matter till the early part of 1825, and then some discoveries having Neu mAd• wilich 144.4 to the suppo3itioa that tin Ford :he old gen : year, called ink of mak- Ir. Lane for had seen, it ion in 1817, Mrs. Lane. new nothing _ __rne in from the farm, and. asked him how he could act so dishonestly as to represent the 'estate as being his father's, when he must have known the property had been conveyed to him, and by him mortgaged to another person. The only reply he gave was, " the estate is worth enough to pay both." At this time lie was not aware that the deed had been altered, but he told the son he had seen deeds at Mr. Tyrrell's office, in Exeter, by which it appeared that the estate of Ford had been conveyed by his father to him, in 1817, and by him mortgaged to a Mr. Sparke, of Ash burton, for 1,4001. or thereabouts, and that subsequently to this he had made a still further mortgage of the pro perty. In consequence of this discovery, an interview was had with Mr. Partridge, a solicitor of Tiverton, who had prepared a deed of conveyance of certain estates, which the elder prisoner had mortgaged to a Mr. Pope, from the executors of that gentleman back to him. At the time that deed was executed, it was clearly understood that the Ford estate was not to be conveyed back to the father, and a clause was introduced to that effect. On the inspection, therefore, of this deed, by Mr. Parbridge, in 1825, he was greatly surprised to find that the Ford property, in stead of being reserved, had been expressly reconveyed, and although greatly astonished at finding this to be the ease, he had not the least suspicion that the deed had been altered, and he therefore entered into an undertaking to pay the money. Some months after Mr. P. again came to his (witness's) office, and brought with him a draft of the original deed, and on comparing it with the convey ance, it was then for the first time discovered that the deed had been altered. Mr. Parbridge; an attorney, of Tiverton, was profes sionally employed by the executors of the late Mr. Pope, to prepare a deed of re-conveyance, from Mr. Pope's execu tors to Mr. Orchard. The instrument was dated in April, 1818. . There were interlineations excepting the Ford estate from the operations of the conveyance. The deeds were pot now in tia lame state as when they passed out of his hands. The interlineations, when the deeds were deli vered up by him, stood thus--"says and except all that capital messuage and tenement called Ford, &c. ;" and the alteration ,now made• is this. -the word " save" is com pletely cut out ; the next word "and" stood as it originally did ; the following word " except" is taken out, and on the space which it occupied is written "also." So that the clause now read, " and also all that, &c. ;" thus mak ing the clause of exception a clause of grant. These alte rations he (the witness), believed to be in the hand-writing of the younger prisoner, from having been acquainted with his writing for the last ten years. Mr. Justice BURROUGH—Hare you any idea of the va lve of the property mortgaged ? Mr. Parbridge.—Yes, my Lord ; the property mortgaged to my client, I believe to be worth 4,0001. My client has advanced 1,5001. The JUDGE-And what is value of the property when the Ford estate is taken away ? Parbridge—ln my opinion, Ford alone is worth 2,8001. The' reason - for introdeeing the exception as to Ford was, because there had been a conveyance of that prc.i perty to Orchard, jun., the year before, on his paying 1,0001. part of the money advanced by Mr. Pope, the ori ginal mortgagee, on the security of that and other estates. Mr. James Tyrrell, an attorney, of Exeter, in 1824, re ceived instructions to prepare a mortgage deed of the Ford property from Mr. Orchard, jun. to Mr. Sparke, of Ash burton. The sum advanced to Mr. Orchard was about 1,4001. It was from the circumstance of having seen the Ford estate advertised for sale by a former mortgagee, that the double conveyance:and fraud was detected. he elder prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said he had a defect in his head, and was too infirm to say any thing for himself. The Rev. Mr. Oliver, and a great many other respectable individual, were examined as to the prisoners' characters, and which according to their testimony, had been most re spectable and unexceptionable for the last SO or 40 years. Mr. Juatito' Buituouore minutely summed up the evi dence. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Orchard, jun. and Acquitted his father. Mr. Justice Buiutouon immediately ordered the convict to be brought up to receive sentence of death. His Lord ship implored him to consider seriously the awful situation in which he stood, as he felt it quite impossible to interfere in preventing the sentence he was about to pronounce from being carried into effect. His Lordship then proceeded to pass sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner throughout conducted himself with un usual fortitude and on receiving sentence; bowed respect fully to the Court, and retired. The father is within a year or two of 80, and from his great infirmities, sat in Court seemingly unconscious of the proceedings which were going forward. The indictment consisted of several skins of parchment sewed together, And was upwards of 35 yards in length. Two true bills have been returned against Thomas Friend, for the murder of Miss Glass and Master Glass, of Ashby, and the delinquent will be put on his trial on Friday (to-morrow) morning*. REMARKABLE ABDUCTION. An affair occurred in this town in the early part of last week, which has excited considerable inte rest, and become the general topic of conversation in the respectable circles. The circumstances are these :—Miss Row, daughter of the late Mr. James Row, a shipowner of this port, and a young lady of some fortune, it appears, had excited the admiration of two gentlemen, Mr. Robins and Dr. Bacon, Who are at present residing here. Both had shewn her attention, but it is understood that the latter was the more successful, and was engaged to marry the lady. O n M on d ay , t h e 20t h i nsta nt, Miss R ow b " e -e r n la t n , Row set out f or h er own evening. Her s ervant came afterwards to conduct her home , but she Was told that her mistress would be sent home b y some person db-sytrinvitation, to spendto A th lr . . NVatson's, in Northum berland-street, between nine and ten o'clock, an d h a d scarcely left Mr. Watson's, when sh e was se i sed by three or four gentlemen, who pushed h er i nto a carriage that returned in theane house, Miss was standing in the s t reet, and she was prevented crying effectually f or ass i stance by something being placed over h er mout h . One of them got into the alone.: and the maid, i n consequence, carriage, and it immediately drove off. This gen tleman is said to be Mr. Robins. They travelled northward, and on Wednesday forenoon a letter was received in this town from Miss Row, by a friend of her's, which was dated Berwick. It appeared to have been written by her at eight o'clock on the Tuesday morning, while she was tn bed, and it re queste quested her servant might be sent immediately t o bring her home. Mr. Charnley, who is one o f h er by nardians, accompanied a f riend, and a servant of Miss" Row's, set off in a chaise on Wednesday at noon, for Berwick. The party returned to New castle with that lady at a late hour on Thursday night. Here the matter at present rests--Tyne (Newcastle) Mercury, The circumstance which first drew the King's attention to the unhappy situation of Beethoven, the com poser, is worthy of being mentioned. At a concert given at the Pavilion during his Majesty's late stay at Brighton, one of the finest symphonies of that eminent musician was performed, and excited the usual testimonies of admiration. When finished, one of the performers, who had taken a put in it, exclaiined aloud, " How deplorable that such a man should at this moment be in want, neglected and expiring, without the comforts and assistance indispensable in such a situation !" This short sentence, uttered in a tone of much made feeling, caught the ear of one of the lord s i n wa iti ng , wthe inquiries requisite to sub s t ant i ate the case, and then immediately related the whole story to the King. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday night a ' Chelsea pensioner cut his throat in the sedan chair belonging to the workhouse of St. 3farylebone. His name is Isaac Thurtle; he lived at Lawford, near Nfanningtree, in Essex; and had come to London for the purpose of receiv ing his pension. He slept on Monday night at the Cock and Lion, in Wigmore-street. On Tuesday he was seized with a violent attack of asthma, and the landlord o f the public house made application to have him received bite , the parish infirmary. At the bearers carried him along the streets they felt an unusual motion in the chair. Upon looking into the sedan they discovered the poor man s awing his throat violently with a blunt razor, and the blood flowing profusely from the wound. They took away the razor, aid hurried to the workhouse, when the surgeon who Examined him gave it as his opinion he could not survive halt au hOUT. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
