FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1827. LITERATURE. NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE. LONDON, 1827• We are much pleased with the conception and execution of this work, which appeals not only to two very influential professions, viz. the army and navy, but is fraught with entertainment to the community in general. A few of the original articles are hit off with considerable spirit, and even the selections (no insignificant features of a periodical) are inade with taste and discretion. If we were asked to specify any particular article as entitled above another to approbation, we would feel inclined to mention the Narrative of the Campaign of 1799," which is distinguished by a fearless and inquisitive spirit. The • " Naval and Military Magazine," sup plies a grand desideratum in literature, as a peri odical record of the achievements,. and peculiar characteriStics, of our army and navy. We hope it will be popular, in proportion to its merits, which are great. OFFICE OF LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. The Sicilians, followed by the Genoese, bor rowed the name of Admiral from the Saracens, about the ye,ar 1149. 'Edward I. is supposed to have brought it here from the Holy Land. The Admiral's ship was also called Admirantia. Thus Milton, noticing the spear of Satan, compares it to the mast of " some tall Admiral.". The office was the Prefectus Classis of the Romans ; Craig and Du Change say it was an office, common to all nations, to clear the sea from pirates, on which account a right of wreck, &c. was annexed. Spelman and others note, that, like the naval Duumvirs of the Romans, there were in general only two Admirals—of the north and west stations—the second being Vice or Deputy to the Lord Admiral, called also the Admiral Lieutenant, or Commissary ; which office, he says, seems to have had its being sud denly after the erection of the High Admiral ; for the first Statutes that mention the one men tion the other, viz. the Act of the 13th and 15th Rich. 11., cap. 5 and 3. He was appointed by the Lord High Admiral, in whose patent it is expressed that he may order and appoint the Vice Admiral and all other officers, during their lives, and every of them. The term of Admiral of the Fleet was applicable to no one who did not command ten ships. The first person styled Admiral of England was Richard Fitzallan, Earl of Arundel, and created 10th Rich. 11. " And I think," says Spelman, "it is not without difference that in some patents the Admiral is named Admiralis talis plagn, and, in another Flotte navium. But in 22 Rich. 11. Richard Fitzallan the younger is made Adriiiiallus , atugYtf that Ii ciaxin 6iO3,sitsb the. first rearribd that though it appeareth that Henry In. in his eighth year, granted to Richard de Lacy, Ma ritium Anglia', yet I dare not expound it to be the Admiralty of England, but some branch of the King's right, now belonging to the same." —The same author says, « Query whether the Lord A diniral of England be sworn or not ; for the French is ?" Walsingham mentions there being i three Ad mirals of the three parts of England n the 12th of Edward 11. their names, Sir John 011eron, Sir N. Kyriel, and Sir John de Felton. In the beginning of Edward the Third's reign, John Howard was appointed Admiral of the north parts. 24th of the same King (Bth July), John Beauchamp of Warwick was made Admiral of both the north and west parts. In 1 Rich. 11. Robert Hales, prior of Saint John of Jerusalem, was made Admiral Flotm na viuin ab ora Tamesire versus partes occidentales. 5 Rich. 11. John Roches, or de Rupibus, is made Admiral of the Fleet, from the Straits, by the town of Southampton, towards the west parts, in the place of Walter de Henly. Edward 111. after the 27th of his reign, is supposed to have first consigned to his Admirals the management of marine affairs (and from which originated our present Admiralty), which were not, as now, one for all England, but divers, says Spelman, according to several limits and several necessities. The little account we have of the English navy before the time of Henry VIII., leaves us in ignorance of the names of the succeeding Ad mirals of England until that period. Few of our Monarchs, in old time, had many ships of their own, exclusively of the occasional ones fur nished by the Cinque Ports, &c. Henry V. at his first invasion of France, ap pears to have had two large and beautiful ships of his own, with purple sails : the one called the King's Chamber, the other his Hall. Edward IV., besides several ships of his own, borrowed many of the merchants, particularly of the famous Canning, buried in St. Mary Red cliff church, Bristol. Still there cannot be said to have been anything then worth the name of an English navy. Impressing of seamen was used, as we find, in his time, perhaps earlier. In 12 Henry VIII., we find an indenture be tween that King and Edward Howard, appoint ing the latter to be his High Admiral, and which is curious, as containing a number of particulars relative to the then nature of the office. It witnesses—That the said Edward was re the Sov ere i gn L or d th e Ki ng to b e hi s tained by Admiral Chic"; and general Captain of the Army, which his Highness had proposed and ordained, " and now set to the sea, for the safe guard and sure passage of his subjects, friends, allies, and confederates." The said Admiral was to have under him, in the said service, 3,000 men, harnessed and arrayed for the warfare (himself accounted in the same number), over and above 700 soldiers, mariners, and gunners ; that should be in the King's ship, The Regent; and whereof 1,750 should be soldiers, and 1,233 should be mariners and gunners. The said Admiral was to have " for maintaining himself, and his diets and rewards, daily during the said voyage, 10s. The King, in consideration of the equipment of the force sent, was to have one half of all manner of gains and winnings of the warre," Dudley Lord Lisle, afterwards Duke of Northumberland, and father-in-law of Lady Jane Grey, appears next in the list of High. Admirals. He was beheaded in the first year of Queen Mary. Thomas Seymour, brother o f t h e P rotector Somerset, was Lord High Admiral after his death, and is well known in history for his at tempts on the Princess, afterwards Queen Eliza beth, whom he aspired to marry, notwithstand ing that he had a wife living, in the person of Queen Catherine Parr, widow of Henry the Eighth. His factious conduct brought him to the block, like his predecessor. The office of Lord High Admiral appears to have attained its full lustre in the person of his successor, Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham, who for his abilities in naval affairs was, in 1586, ad vanced to the post of Lord High Admiral to Queen Elizabeth. In this memorable year, he and the gallant officers under him did much in sinking and destroying the Spanish Armada ; but the winds did more. Upon this grand event, the Queen ordered a medal to be struck with this inscription—" Afilavit DEus et dissipan tar." (GOD bath blown, and they are scat tered.) In 1596 the Lord High Admiral had again a share in the taking of Cadiz, and burn inc, the Spanish fleet. He enjoyed Eris high office about 32 years. We shall notice amongst the succeeding High Admirals only a few of the more celebratednames. George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, was Lord Hi&li Admiral under James the First, and had for his Deputy or Vice-Admiral for the English Court, Henry Vere, Earl of Oxford. In a pompous list of the Duke's titles under one of his portraits, he is styled " Lord High Ad miral of England, Ireland, and the Principality of Wales, Governor of all the Castles and Sea forts, and of the Royal Navy." He held the o ffice till his death. 1637. Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumber land, was, for his knowledge and prudence in naval affairs, advanced this year to the dignity of Lord High Admiral, he having before, with a fleet of sixty sail, taken and sunk all the Dutch fishing busses employed upon the Bri tish coasts. 1642. Robert Rich, Earl of Warwick, held the same office. He had some knowledge in naval affairs, and the openness of his disposition recommended him to the service ; but he was not completely qualified for Lord High Admiral. 1657. Admiral Blake is styled " General and Admiral of all the forces in England." Thy name Was heard in thunder through th' affrighted shores Of pale Iberia, of submissive Gaul, . And Tagus, trembling to his utmost source. 0 ever faithful, vigilant and brave, Thou bold asserter of Britannia's fame, Unconquerable Blake !—GLoviR. This great man was above fifty years of age when he took the command of the fleet. Not withstanding he had before been a soldier, yet, following the light of his own genius, he was presently seen to have all the courage, the con duct, and the precipitancy of a good sea officer. Ha not only improved the methporl of attack, but earried;the naieal power of Cromwell to• a greater height than had been known in any age or nation. 1675. We find the King's brother, James Duke of York, styled " Suyreinits dominus Ad miraliits." Whilst Lord. High Admiral, he gained the highest reputation by his courage on board the fleet in tile first Dutch war. He in vented the use of the signals used at sea. Prince Rupert held the office of Vice-Admiral of all England under him. The .modern list of Admirals is well known. Collins (in his Peerage) mentions the whistle hung by:a gold chain,- with which the Admiral cheered his men in action, as now descended to the boatswain. Naval uniforms originated, according to Pen nant, with Admiral Mostyn, who died in 1757. PARAPHRASE ON THE 12m CHAPTER OF ECCLESIASTES. WRITTEN IN THE ISLAND OF ASCENSION. Whilst Youth's warm current flows within thy veins. And strength and vigour thro' thy system reigns ; Let thy Creator in thy memory live, To his great name, thy earliest offerings give. Whilst evil days come not, nor years draw nigh, When thou in pain and languishing shall lie ; And then worn down, in bitterness and grief, Seek at the hand of death a last relief. While yet the Sun shall give his warmth and light, Whilst moon and sparkling stars reign o'er the night, Whilst darkness come not, nor the rain charged cloud, Wrap the creation in its sable shroud. A Th n e d day when those who keep the house shall q ua k e , s t r ong men shall bow themselves and shak e , the window, mou rn th e i r d ar k en 'd s i g ht .

The fount of Love shall fail, for man prepares, To l e ave this s cene o f j oys, h opes , pa i ns a nd cares, For his long home, the mourners in the street Proclaim the solemn truth to all they meet. Or e'er he loos'd the cord of silver fair, Or the bright golden bowl be broken there ; O r pitcher broken at the fountain lie, (j r the crush'd wheel no more the cistern ply : Then shall the dust, ordain'd to fill the urn, To earth in its primeval state return ; The spirit shall return to God on high, who g ave it first, and fix'd its destiny. Oh ! vanity of vanities—the Preacher saith ; in vanity we live and draw our breath ; Vain the world's glitt'ring wealth and pompous show, ,for vanity is stamp'd on all below. Because more o'er divinely wire was he, Who taught the people wisdom's mystery ; With cautious heed, i n deep research he met, ,And in fair order many proverbs set. The Preacher sought to make his records shine, In words acceptable and truths divine ; And what he wrote, by uprightness inspir'd, Displays the truth with which his soul was fled. The foolish feel as goads the wise man's words, Or nails well fasten'd by th' Assembly's herds, Given from our shepherd, who bath sent them forth, To teach his Doctrines, and proclaim their worth. And further, 0 my son, by these be taught, That making many books, I count as nought ; To study much is weariness and Oil, And the flesh droops beside the midnight oil. Now, humbly bow, the great conclusion hear, Regard thy God with love and holy fear ; Keep his Commandments, nor presume to scan, His high designs ; s , this is the whole of man." For God shall bring to judgment every work, Whilst secret things no more in darkness lurk; The evil ones to Hell shall sink thee down, The good exalt thee to a heavenly crown. Original Text, T.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday the Captain of an East Indiaman was charged with having punished a Lascar boy, named James, with a thick cord, having first tied and gagged him. Mr. Thwaites, of Tokenhouse-yard, tea-dealer, said, that in consequence of having heard that the boy had been most harshly treated by the Captain, he went to a house in th, Lower-road, Islington, to which he heard the Captain had removed him, and examined his person ; witness found that the boy's face was much swelled on one side, that he had suffered much about the top of the thigh and the wrists ; the wrists had the appearance of having been tied together, and the boy declared that the Captain had, for nothing, laid him on - the bed to beat him, and to prevent his crying out had stopped his mouth ; and that the Cap tain then flogged him with a rope with great severity. The boy corroborated Mr. Thwaites's statement, and said that when he was at sea the Captain beat him with a rattan. The Captain, in his defence, said, that he merely chas • tised the boy. It was the boy's duty to lie outside hi. door, as he was in the habit of doing on board; and there was a string of communication from him to the boy, whicl: he pulled when he wanted anything. Theboy had impro perly laid the string aside, and being azgry at his inatten tion, he punished him ; he was now sorry for it. AS the boy is a Musaulman, and there was no Koran at the Mansion-House to swear him, the case was postponed. GUILDHALL.—John Latham, who bad been charged on a former day with being intoxicated, and while so, be having improperly, for which he was fined 55., was brought up again yesterday, in consequence of the non-payment 01 the fine, from inability. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, after some consideration discharged him with an admonition, that if he was found in such a state of intoxication again, he would be sent n. the tread-mill, for two or three months. John Cowley, Borien Barrell, and Benjamin Phil lips, three boys, none of whom were apparently more that, twelve years of age, were brought up, charged with steal. ing knives from the shop of a gentleman of the name of Werrender, ,residing in St. Paul's Church-yard. It ap peared that the boys, though young, 'were great adepts iI the art of pilfering, and were the instruments of older am. more experienced offenders. They bad been remanded oi, a former day, for the purpose of their parents comini. forward. The parents of all three attended, and wen all unanimous in their wish that the boys might be sent to some place where they could not offend in future, as they were of the most depraved habits, and the societ3 which they had picked up here would, if not put a stop to, ultimately lead them to the gallows. Mr. Werrender seemed to feel some delicacy as to pro secuting, but the Alderman wished to know what he wa , . to do in a case like this. Perhaps it would be better ti let the case stand till a future day, for the purpose of seeing if the instigator could be found, one of the boys stating he knew where he lived - and that during the time ,he went into the shop for the purpose of stealing tin knives, he had stood outside the door. That whet they got any thing, it was usual for them to give it him, and perhaps they had 2d. or 3d. in return. The bo) ,was then directed to accompany the officer, and to point out to him the residence, which the Alderman ordered to bt searched and the case to stand over till Saturday. William Palmer, the driver of the hackney-coach, No. 1035, was brought up by summons, to -answer the com plaint of a gentleman living in Austin-Friars. It appeared that on Sunday night about half-past eleven, the. gentleman called' the coach from the stand in Bridge-street, and di : reeted the coachman to drive him a shilling fare, on the road to Austin Friars. The coachman stopped in Cheap side, opposite Laurence-lane, when the gentleman asked him why he did not go on? when he was told by the coachman, he would be d—d if he would drive him any further, and used other abusive language. The coachman, in his defence, said he was quite willing to drive him any where, but when he stopped to ask th, gentleman which way he would wish hint to drive, he d—d his eyes, and told him to shut the door. He told him he had not been used to such language, and admitted that he had behaved improperly towards him. The gentleman denied having used any improper lan guage to the man in the strongest terms. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he was empowered UN the Act of Parliament to fine the man 101., but that be should deal with him perhaps more lenient than he de served, and should only fine him 10s., which he must pay, or go to prison till paid. The Coachman was not prepared to pay it then, and therefore went to prison till it was paid. BOW-STREET.—A young man, named Flanagan, who was charged with having assaulted a lady named M'Pherson, in Buckeridge.street, St. Giles's, on last Thursday week, and stealing from her person her reticule, containing notes and sovereigns, value 501., was yesterday again placed at the bar. The lady stated that a gang of thieves were concerned in the robbery, and the prisoner Flanagan, she believed, was the person who rushed vio lently against her at the time the others robbed her. This charge was rendered very doubtful, by the circumstance o; a young man named Riley being placed at the bar, charged with being concerned in the robbery, whose feature, strongly resembled Flnnagan's, except that his complexief was much fairer. The prosecutrix deposed, that, whet she was robbed, she said " Stop thief!" and the prisoner Flanagan ran round the corner of Buckeridge-street, and escaped. Several witnesses were examined, who proved that Flanagan was a hard-working young man, and that he was at work at the time the robbery was committed and in further confirmation of his innocence of the charge, two witnesses deposed, that they saw the prisoner Riley running away down Buckeridge-street, at the time the prosecutrix called stop thief. Mr. MINSHULL, the Sitting Magistrate, said that than was a strong resemblance between the two prisoners (botl: their mouths being drawn aside), and he believed that Fla nagan was innocent of the crime imputed to him. Rile} was remanded, and Flanagan was discharged. An old man, named Taylor, was brought up on a peace warrant which had been granted to two of his sons, whos( lives he had threatened. One of the sons was a resident a! Bath, and the other in London ; the former was a very big man, at least 17 stone, and the latter a mere dwarf. Dlr. Taylor from Bath said he was a coal-merchant, and the reason of the disparity in the size of him and his brothel was, that he was born and reared in Somersetshire, and hi, little brother was a Cockney. He said that his father has deserted his mother ..14. many years, and was living with 1: prostitute • and he had come t o L on d on, w h ere h i s father lived, to compel him to allow his mother a maintenance.— His brother had also applied to his father to make his mo ther a reasonable allowance for her support, and his fhthei threatened to murder him. The father, in reply to the accusations of his sons, said, that he had left his wife 16 years, and during that period had lived with the woman with whom he was now coha biting. His wife was such a brimstone that he would rather endure the torments of the accursed than live witl, her ; but he had ever since their separation allowed hel half his pension. He added, that his sons broke into hi, house and abused him, and he ordered them to quit hi, premises.--The Magistrate disiniased the case. MARYLEBONE.—Miss Isabella Charlton, a respect able young 14dy residing in Prince's-street, Oxford-street, appeared to answer a charge of assault preferred againsi her by a young man named William Hurst. The assauh consisted in the young lady's throwing the contents of 2. bottle of marking ink into the complainant's eyes, and du occasion of it was stated by him to Mr. Griffith as follows— He was a porter, and in the employ of a Mrs. Barker. who lived next door to Miss Charlton. On Monday, fin 25th of June last, the day the affray took place, he wen! up stairs " to do a little job to the window for missus,' and having to use a piece of wood or stick, he might knock a little dust down on the sky-light of the house next door, but nothing, he was sure, that could break a pane o. glass. Be that as it might, he had scarcely begun hi, operations, when he was told that Miss Charlton had sew Mrs. Davis, her maid, to say he had broken a window. He said he knew he had not, " but, howsoever, he'd go i " to the lady, and give her a civil answer." He did so.— The lady repeated her charge, and he his denial , till thi war of words became high b e t ween t h em , and (cording to Miss Charlton's account, b e gave h er t he lie. (But thi, he would not admit.) Th e l a d y w ho had been marking some linen, enraged a t thi s uncoor t eo us exlmez: 2 ;on, caller him a rogue and a villain, and bidding him quit the house seized the bottle which contained the marking ink, anti threw the contents in his face, The liquid was of tha pernicious nature, that he was • obliged to use a wash co, F. 1= .• .1.

Miss CharlionMsfkii4llAkiioe4q, a female friend, as well as two or *polo g iled for her violence, by repeating ite offensive term made use of to her by the complainant. As for the ink, she said, there could not be more than two or three drops in the bottle, for she had had it in use three years. Mr. GRlFFlTH—Admitting th e provocat i on you state, i it was a very improper act m a young woman. It cannot be denied that the stuff, whatever it was, was thrown in the eyes of this young man. I saw the effect of it when he applied to me for the summons, when it was more ev i. dent than now. It' s a very rash thing, and you must make him ame.l , lo or find bail. On the parties being about to quit the office, one of the gentlemen returned, and said it was a very hard case on Miss Charlton. " There is not a more respectable cha racter in England," said he, addressing the Magistrate, " I've known her from a child." Mr. GRIFFITH-Character has nothing to do with this question. _ Gentleman—l beg your pardon, Sir, it has every thing to do with it, and I wish to have a warrant against this fellow for breaking the window. Mr. GRIFFITH—It has not been proved that he broke it, and I shall grant no warrant. The gentleman attempted to force some further conver sation, but the Magistrate would not hear it, and be re joined his party, the whole of whom went out evidently much dissatisfied. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The fellotving very laughable, although, perhaps, also distressing scene, took place at this office yesterday, before Sir G. FARRANT : Rather a decent-looking, young man entered and ap proached the bench, leading by the hand a,young female, possessing by no means a had set of features, but presenting a most wretched and miserable state of destitution, as re, garded wearing apparel, and thus addressed the Magistrate : " Please your Worship, I have brought this young woman to town.'-' Sir G. FARRANT—Have yon, indeed ? Young Mau— -1 have, your Worship ; and I don't know what to do with her now. Sir GRonor—;Pray where might you bring her from Young Man Fro m, 'Weston,7; Warvticksbire, your Worship. -. • Sir GEORGE-,-And what did - you , bring her to town for Young Man—YotiF Warship, I brought her from Daventry, in Northamptonshire, :where I met her on the road on her travels up to London, like myself; end'ehe told me she had come from Weston, in Warwickshire. Sir Gxoada—And was she in the miserable condition she is in now when you mether ? Young Man—She was, your Worship, and'a great deal worse, for she was almost starved, and had'not a halfpenny or farthing in the world ; s 6 I took pity on her loneliness, and we came the rest of the way together, and I paid for our lodgings and our food until now. She told me, your Worship, that she had a. rich uncle in London, and that she was coming up to him, Sir GEOAGS—WeII, and why don't you take her to her rich uncle? Young Man—So I did, your Worship; but he won't own her as a relation; he says he never saw or heard of her before. Sir GEORGE—WeII, I dare say he is nut much obliged to you for the present you have brought him to town. Young Man—He won't take her, your Worship, he say„ as a present, or any how : so I don't know what to da with her. Sir GEORGE—And what do you want me to do with her ? Young Man—l only want your Worship to tale L'e some way off my hands. Sir GEORGE--I am much obliged to you indeed ; but as you have taken her on your own hands, and brought her up here, yeu must do the best you can with her, and send her back home.again. The girl, who had not during the whole dia;ogue spoken a word, here cast a glance of surprise and a little indignation at her companion. Sir GEORGE—You cannot well leave her now, in the state she is, without doing something for her, after bringing her here. — Young Man.—But, your worship, I am done with her; she is nothing to me. • • Sir GEORGE.—WeII, I really cannot help you. You had better go to the parish officers again with her, and you may tell them you were here, but I have no power to compel them to assist you. The young man was now gradually but cautiously making his way towards the office-door, behind his fair companion's back, evidently with an intention to bolt, and leave her as a legacy to the magistrate : when one of the officers perceiving his object, called the young woman's at tention to him, when she walked up, and very coolly taking his arm, accompanied him out of the office, with a seeming determination not to let him slip from her easily, HATTON-GARDEN.— Thomas Finchley, the asso ciate of George Warner, condemned to suffer this day for colouring base coin, was brought up in custody by a con stable named Bouchier, for passing bad money on a poor man named Manning, a green-grocer, residing at 44, Ray-. street, Clerkenwell. Manning stated the prisoner to have come into his shop about one o'clock that day; to purchase some tobacco and a loaf, which came to 6d. in payment for which he gave witness a half-crown, and received in return 2s. change. Witness shortly afterwards perceived the half-crown to be a bad one. The prisoner came back in about ten minutes, and offered another half-crown to witneties wife, in pay ment for some tobacco. Witness was in the parlour when prisoner came the second time; but on seeing him in the shop, he came hastily out. The prisoner, suspectin g that his purpose was discovered, snatched up the half-crown, and ran off. Witness pursued him, took him into custody, and found the half-crown in his hand, which was also a. bad one. Mr. L&INc ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Saturday, and, in the mean time, notice to be given tti Me•°sre. Powell, Solicitors to the Mint, and to J. Field, Esq. Inspector to the Mint, to procure their attendance. LAMBETH-STREET.—A young man, named Frede . rick Reynolds, was charged with horse -stealing. O n th e night of the 10th June, a horse, belonging to Mr. Wigg„ of Waltham Cross, was stolen from Cheshunt Marsh.— Two days afterwards it was sold by the prisoner to a Mr. Kew, at Rayleigh Fair, for 71. The prisoner made no des fence, and he was committed for trial. PRICE 7D. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken in the Board-room of St. Thomas's Hospital, before T. Shelton, Esq., the Coroner, on v ie w o f th e b o d y o f Mary onney, aged 47. Mary Smith, servant to Mr. Webb, of Dean ' street, Southwark, stated, that the deceased was in the habit of coming to her master's house for the purpose of assisting witness in her household busi ness. On Tuesday last, about noon, the deceased came as usual ; on coming into the kitchen she began to at some crumbs mixed with arsenic, which were placed on three plates, for the purpose of destroying black beetles, with which the kitchen abounded. Witness cautioned her in touching them, explaining to: what purpose they were intended. She then left the kitchen, and on her return was astonished to find that the deceased had eaten the whole of the crumbs from off the plates, and was in consequence soon after taken ill. Mr. Webb sent for a medical gentleman, who attended, and administered to her; but growing worse, she was conveyed to this hospital in a coach. Mr. Richard Whitfield, jun., surgeon of the hospital, stated, that on the deceased's Omission he examined her : she was insensible, and labouring under great difficulty of breathing. Notwithstanding all that was done, the Jeceased sunk,and died about two hours after her admission to the hospital. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the de ceased's death was occasioned by taking the arsenic in a mistake." lVedu Lady REDESDA LE was travel in her esda y, ling c arriag e between Cheltenham and.

The transaction was ob served by some persons working in a field near the spot, and some other parties also coming up they pursued, and after a chase of some t ime , secured the th ree r obbers in a corn field.
