The mare was found in London. I saw her at Bow-street, in the custody of Ellis, the Officer.

The Prisoner now rose, and holding a written piper in his hand, proceeded to read from it at very considerable length. He did not deny the fict, but strongly called on the Court and the country at large. From the dreadful circum stance with which his name had been associated, he had scarcely been able to set his foot in any litilge,.hamlet, or town, without having his feel ings agonized. Distress had marked his every movement, and an outcast of society, and penny less, he was driven to commit the act for which Ile was now called .upon to answer.

His giving a false name, and his being known to the family, were also facts that ren dered, if.true, the prisoner's guilt still more clear, and if the Jury were of opinion that the evidence against the p,risoner was deserving of credit, his Lordship did not see how they, the Jury, could do otherwise than find him guilty. lf, however, they had any.reasonable doubt on their minds, they would-give the prisoner the benefit of it; and with these observations he should leave the case in their hands. 293,3421 251 35f .12,01U;412!10,659,029 THE ARMY.

GENERAL ALEXANDER. EARL OF BALCARRAS.--.The late Earl of Bateams entered the service on the 15th of July, 1767, as an Ensign in the 53d regiment of foot ; was promoted on the 28th January, 1771., to a company in the 42d regiment; and obtained, o❑ the 9th of December, 1775, a Majority in the 534 foot. He was appointed, on the oth of October, 1777, Lieutenant-Colonel of the 24th foot ; was made, on the 13th of February, 1782, Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 71st regiment of infantry ; and placed, on the 25th of March, 1783, on half-pay. He obtained, on the 27th of August 1789, the Colonelcy of the 63d foot ; and was appointed, on the 20th of November, 1792, Colonel in the Army. He obtained, on the' 12th of October, .7793, the rank of Major-General ; was raised, on the Ist of January, 1793, to the rank of Lieutenant-General;; and on the 25th of September, 1803, to that General. 1825, BELZONI. morning about 00i:o'clock, fine. boy, six : yeara old, was amusing iiirnSelf at the rat figqt viindow of his father's;lllr. Griffiths, 'a jeweller, in: liani's-terrace,' Kennington, ,tire child accidentally fell out a . 11eight of 15. feet, and, pitching on his: head, fractured his thall in a dreadful 'ilia:ier: The little sufferer was-nrornently ittiiied away fOr medical advice a senseless state. • - We deern.it a due tribute to departed worth, as well as an, act of justice and humanity, to inform our Readers, that on Monday last the interesting examples of ancient Paint ing, discovered in one of the tombs of the Kings of Thebes by the late ingenious and enterprising BELZ 0 N I, was opened again to the Public, for the benefit of his afflicted widow. The pre mises* on whiCh the tomb is now erected (No. 28, Leicester squarei, being more extensive than those at Bullock's Museum, where its was originally exhibited in the life-time of our adven turoui traveller. Mrs...BEIZONI has been able to add another apartment to the suite, which has excited great additional inte rest. We think the effect of the whole very striking, and that the lights by which the chambers are illuminated have been very judiciously distributed. We understand also, from good authority,' that the colours are very faithfully given. The de sign c.mnot fail to be so, since each figure represented in the tomb was originally moulded in wax from that at Thebes, by Mr. BELZON I himself. When we reflect that the numerous objects here represented are accurate specimens of what Egyp tian painting and sculpture was capable of effecting, little less than three thousand years ago, we cannot but consider this sin gular exhibition as one of very considerable interest as a wore of art ; and as affording, at the same time, an excellent exatnp:e of the sepulchre of an Egyptian Monarch.* We would parti cularly call the attention of the Public to the outlines, which a e given in the last chamber, from one of the apartments lit un finished in the original tomb, as afibrding curious and un doubted examples of the mode of proceeding adopted by fie Artists of Egypt. The outline, it will be seen, was first put in with red, of a pale colour, then corrected with a stronger red, and subsequently perfected, to the satisfaction of the Artist, in a decided single outline in black. This finished, the sculpt° • began to give the proper relief to the figures, and, that com pleted, they were coloured as we see theM. We havo no doubt that all persons of . taste, who have any. veneration for the sacred relies of antiquity, will be highly gratified with this exhibition!; hut we trust, that Were the attraction less, the claims of the widow of such a man as BELZONI on a liberal and enlightened Public would be fully sufficient to ensure to it patronage and support. - .1 1 .. The beautiful alabaster sarcophagus, which was found by Mr. Belzoni in this tomb, is, as our Readers know, in the pos session of Air. Soane, who purchased it for two thousand pounds 'from Mr. Salt, at whose expense the original tomb was exca vated from the mass of rubbish with which it was encumbered, under the direction of the adventurous traveller who dis covemtl it. - •• On .Tuesday litBt the opening of the " NEW CORN AND HOP EXMANOE," at Canterbury; was celebrated by a Public Dinner, which was attended by upwards of 150 pe sons; consisting of the gentry, the principal farmers of that and neighbouring places, •and the .Alembers of the CorporatiOn.' Among - the company we observed Earl DARNLEY, Lord CLIFTON, and Mr. LUSIIINGTON,The City .11einbers, Sir E. KNATCIInuLI., one of the It epresentatives 'oldie County, and, several distinguished individuals. The utmost harmony pre : : vailed during the evening ; several loyal and patriotic toasts were drank with great enthusiasm. Songs, duets, glees, &c. enlivened the company till a late hour. The viands, which were of the best, were served by Mr. - Crx.mENTs, of the Rose Inn. Tke Exchange, which, thr the occasion, was brilliantly illurui•-. tutted with gas, had a very splendid effect„—The fifth amateur HARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERT took place the same even ing at the Assembly Rooms, Canterbury, which, as well as thcise preceding, was very numerously attended. The perform ances Of. the evening, under the superintendance of gentlemen of great taste and abilities, were executed with..great skill and judgment. d • ST.

The flint walls bave been. achninibly restored, and that pin of the building which has been finished is only equalled in tflect by the front of Westminster-hall: In repairing .the choir, the workmen have dilcovered the remains of a magni. ficent Gothic screen, which it is the intention of theparishioneri to restore. The edifice is now well worthy of the attentionnf the antiquary, and when it is completely festored,and the space. before it is opened to form the approach - of the new London, bridge; it will be one of the most splendid .ornaments of the .. metropolis.

HORRIBLE CRIME AT METZ. A few days ago we gave a short account of a horrible crime which had been committed at Metz ; the following Pre the particulars, as COM. nunicated in a private letter _ " METz, Mancil 28.—The facts of the dreadful tale of which I only gave you a few lines in my last, are as follow. The name of the monster who assassinated three persons is Charles Maehot, a tradesman residing in this town. About a week since he left this place for the purpose, lie stated, of purchasing a quan tity of oil, and said that lie should be absent three weeks or a month. He disired his wife to take up her abode at a lodging house kept aby a Mr. Grosjean. It appears, however, that the jotirney was only pretended, in order to watch the conduct of iris wife. A few days after his apparent departure, he called at Grosjean's houst, Rue des blurs, at eight o'clock in the even ing, and with great agitation demanded to see his wife. Madame Grosjean, intimidated by his angry looks, and fearing that he intended to iiltreat his wife, told him that she was un well and had retired to bed. She said that if he would sit down and take sonic refreshment, she would go to his wife and in. form her of his arrival. To this proposal he seemed to assent. She turned towards the door, and the monster seizing the op porttinity when her back was turned, stabbed her in the side with a sword he had brought with him :which was concealed under his great coat. The screams of the unfortunate woman were heard by several persons in the house, none of whom were acquainted with the sudden arrival of Machot. Madame Grosjean's son, an excellent young man, nineteen years of age, ran down stairs to assist his mother, and the very instant lie oponed the parlour-door, Machot struck at him and wounded him slightly in Ole hand; and then, taking a se cond aim gave him a violent cut in the abdomen, and made the entrails protrude from the deep horrible gash. The poor youth died on the following day. Scarcely three minutes had elapsed from the time of the arrival of the assassin, and already he had dreadfully wounded the mother and son, when a third , person made his appearance. J. .Thirbaut lived in the same house; he heard the noise in the,parlour, and came with all haste to afford assistance. He opened the door, and saw the bodies of the mother and son lying on the floor welter. ing in blood. The sight frightened him to'kuch a degree, that he did not at first observe the assassin, who was stand ing in a' cornet of . the room, Immediately he saw him, he attempted to run out of the room, but stumbling over the bodies of the victims, Machot ran athim and plunged his sword into his breast. The unfortunate map expired in less than two hours. The terror and confusion that now took place among the other inmates of the house were inconceivably 'great ; - No person dared approach the murderer of the three - ttictimi. He held up his sword covered with blood, threaten fog to any one who should oppose his' departure from eie house. lie walked' into the street, and when lie had ' reached the extremity of the Rue dee •Alurs, he began to advance with more speed. The inhabitants, who were -now informaed of the horrible eyent, ptiraued him with cries of murder. The assassin bad already reached the gates of the town,aVien the sentinel, hearing the shouts pfahe people, and observing Machot attempting to escape, placed 'himself at the entrance of the gate to prevent his passing. A dreadful struggle 'ensued—other soldiers coming to the assistance of their Comrade, the assassin was with great difficulty disarmed and sent to prison.' It is much feared that Madame Grosjean, in consequence of the deep wound she received, and the extreme terror occasioned by seeing her son killed bY'ker side, will not sutVive him many days.

ATLESSANT ANECDOTE OF AN OLD WOMAN..— wiri, Archbishop . of Canterbury, in the reigns of Henry 11. and Richard 1., was, it is said, so very temperate, that he never tasted a morsel of flesh front the time he commenced monk to - the day of his death. Being met one day by a lean and skinny Old woman, she asked him if it was true that he had never tasted any flesh ; he answered it was. "It is false," replied the old woman, " for you • have• eaten my flesh to the very bones." The Archbishop demanding what she meant, she acquainted him, that some of his officers had taken fidth her a cow, which was her only support. The Archbishop, not offended at her freedom, promised to repair her loss with a good cow.• NARROW ESCAPE.—Yesterday, as a lad named Browne was exercising -a very young and spirited horse, oppo site Walcot-terrace, near Kennington-cross, the animal being shy; suddenly darted across the' road, and, after several in. • effectual attempts -to dislodge his rider, he at length threw him -hi the air, over his he a d ; some yards, and fell to the ground 'flat 'on his hack on AI heap of loose dust.. =The animal instantly :started off . at full speed, . but was fortunately secured without doing any mischief;, and the:youth, on being picked up, seemed' sczionsly•liurt in his loins. Had the lad however fallen half a yard further, lie , must have come. in *contact with a stone step 'at-the edge of 'the footpath, and in all probability either broken his back, or been killed upon the. spot. • - 16, LONDON% CO U tiT ItY: NO. 64.
