SUICIDE AT THE RESIDENCE OF THE PRINCESS SOPHIA OF GLOUCESTER. Yesterday about two o'clock, a tragical event took place at the mansion of the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, on Blackheath, by which her R o y a l Highness and her establishment were thrown into great alarm and confusion. The circumstances of the dreadful affair are as follows :—About a fortnight back his Majesty, being in want of a couple of fine doe deer for his palace at Windsor, sent word to the Princess, requesting that two, the finest that could be selected from Greenwich-park, might be shot, and forwarded at the expiration of two slays to the Royal Palace. Her Royal Highness im mediately issued her warrant for the destruction of the deer, and gave it to Mr. Buck, the de puty ranger, who without delay, gave the necessary instructions to Mr. John Eggleston, the park keeper, who had the sole care of them. Mr. Eg gleston, who had unfortunately of late addicted himself to drinking, neglected to attend to the war rant, and four days having elapsed without the ar rival of the deer at Windsor, Mr. Robert Eggleston, his brother, who has the superintendence of the deer in Hyde•park, proceeded immediately to Black heath to ascertain the cause of the neglect, where he found his relative in such a state of inebriation that he could not obtain from him any information, and under these circumstances be (the brother) took his rifle and shot the couple of deer required, which were without delay forwarded to Windsor. The negligence of Eggleston next day reached the ear of her Royal Highness (who was particularly partial to him, his family having been in the Royal service for above a century), and she thereupon gave instruc tions that she might see him yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, in order that she might remonstrate with him on the impropriety of his behaviour. Her Royal Highness's commands were communicated to him by one of the household, and he said they should be attended to. On Wednesday he received instruc tions to shoot a doe for the table of the Princess, and to bring it with him on the following morn ing. Pursuant to his orders the unfortunate man loaded his rifle, and about twelve o'clock yesterday he sallied forth for the purpose of slaying the deer.— Upon leaving his cottage, which is situate in the orchard immediately behind the royal residence, his brother Henry (who was in the habit of following him upon these occasions with a knife, in order to cut the deer's throat immediately it receives the fire) attempted to accompany him, but his services were rejected, and the unhappy man went into the deer-park alone; his brother returned into the cot tage, when shortly after he heard the report of his brother's rifle, and still thinking that he might afford him some assistance in the destruction ef the deer, he went out, when on passing an outhouse in the orchard he perceived smoke issuing thereout ; lie opened the door, when to his dismay lie beheld the headless body of his brother, lying on the ground, and the piece which had been discharged by his side, as also the knife. The brother made an imme diate alarm, and Mr. Buck, the deputy-ranger, as soon as it was possible, made the horrible affair known to her Royal Highness, who was deeply affected. Sur geons Harrison and Wattsford were despatched at the moment by the Princess, but their services were of no use, as the head of t h e un f ortunate man was blown to atoms. It would seem that the deceased had seated himself on a stool, placed the muzzle of the rifle to his forehead between the eyes, with the but end between his legs, and with the ramrod touched the trigger; the charge of the gun passed through his head, and through the roof of the outhouse, and the brains were scattered in all directions. The body was removed into the cottage, snd information was given to the coroner, who has fixed his inquest for Saturday evening at seven o'clock. The deceased was a widower, and has left two children. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 21. Yesterday was the county day at these sessions. There was a very full bench of Magistrates. Mr. Serjeant PELL alluded to Mr. Stirling's ac count, which had been so long withheld. An attach ment had been issued against that gentleman on a former day, to compel him to deliver up the county papers, and render his account. Mr. Stirling's clerk here said that that gentleman would be speedily in Court to explain his conduct. When he entered, soon after, he said that he had as strong a desire as any member of the Court could hare to deliver up the papers which were in his pos session. When it was recollected that .he had been for 40 years in--active office, it was natural to sup pose that a variety of papers must have accumulated around him. He repeated his strong desire to give up all these papers, but he was at this moment much occupied, particularly in the discharge of his duties as coroner.. In fact, yesterday he had to preside over five inquests,—two of them at Hounslow and Isleworth, and others at the Middlesex Hospital, so that he was unable to return home to his dinner till 11 o'clock last night. Besides, his health was much impaired, and he was not able to make active arrange ments in the collection of his papers. He would, however, get on as quick as he could in complying with the desire of the Court. The CHAIRMAN asked him whether he would un dertake in a short time to produce these papers. Mr. Serjeant PELL suggested that 14 days should be allowed for the purpose. Mr. Stirling desired to have a month, which was, after some further conversation, agreed to, and in the mean time the execution of the attachment to be suspended. On the motion of Mr. HOARE, 600/. was ordered for the erection of six new tread-wheels in the va grant ward of the House of Correction. Mr. BRISCOE objected in the strongest terms to the application of this kind of punishment for fe males, the ill effects of which, both upon youth and the female sex, lie condemned as harsh, unjust, and impolitic. The motion was agreed to. BRITISH SPIRITS. When the Report of the Gaol Committee was read, Serjeant PELL rose to take the opportunity of bringing forward a topic on which he had made the most anxious inquiry—he meant the consump tion of British spirits. He was one of those who had of late very much reflected upon the unquestion able increase of crime, and consequently of misery, in this great city : he had endeavoured to investigate the data which had caused this lamentable result, and although more than one cause was probably con cerned in producing such a dreadful state of things, yet it was obvious to any one who had turned his mind to the consideration, that there was one great paramount cause which more than any other had led to the melancholy demoralisation which shocked and disgusted every well-regulated mind, in con templating the condition of large classes of the com munity in this metropolis. He was happy on the present occasion to have the aid of that Court in the view which he had taken of this question, for they had, by a resolution of the 29th of last October, declared their opinion of the fatal tendency of the rage for gin-drinking which had unhappily pervaded so large a number of the people. He referred to this resolution, not because he thought it calculated to meet the growing evil, but it was declaratorY of the principle upon which the motion proceeded, namely, that the consumption of British spirits in this great town, to the extent which had been demonstrated, was dreadful and horrible evil.—(Hear.)—The ♦ice of drunkenness had notoriously increased, and exactly in proportion to the cheapness of liquor. What steps could be taken to diminish the alarming growth of this vice ? For his own part he only knew of one mode of proceeding, and that was by a direct and public declaration that the evil had attained a height which loudly called for the prompt application of some remedy. It was scarcely credible to think what facilities were afforded for the consumption of gin in London. There were places in which a gallon of that liquor could be purchased for the small sum of 3s. 4d., or a glass of it for lid. At this low rate an unhappy being, broken in mind and body, could drown all recollection of his present sufferings, and banish all thought of his future fate. It would be, perhapS, recollected that he had some time ago taken an active part in the establishment of a pauper lunatic asylum for the county of Middlesex. About a year ago, there were found within its walls 825 wretched inmates, but they had of late increased to 1,100 or 1,200; and it was a notoriously medical fact, that this increase mainly was attributable to the dreadful practice of gin-drinking.—(Hear.)--The Learned Serjeant then concluded by moving the fol lowing resolutions:— " That the present low price of British spirits affords such an encouragement to an improper indulgence in the same, aggravated as the mischief is by the mixture of de leterious ingredients, that the increase of misery, madness, and crime in the metropolis may in no small degree be imputed to it. " That the Magistrates of Middlesex have no adequate means in their power by which the evil can be prevented. " That these Resolutions be signed by the Chairman of the Sessions, and forthwith be presented by him to his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, to gether with the earnest expression of the hope of this Court, that his Majesty's Government will take the same into its consideration, and apply such remedy as in its wis dom it shall think fit." Sir GEORGE HAMPSON, in cordially seconding this motion, begged to corroborate from his actual know ledge, as a viiiter of their county prisons, the dread ful fact that the consumption of ardent spirits was one of the mainly influential causes of the recent in crease of crime. Mr. BRISCOE hoped that the Learned Serjeant's proposition would receive the unanimous support of the county Magistrates.—(Hear.)—He should, however, like to add a word or two to one of the Resolutions, expressive of the aggravation of the evils now become so notorious, from the addition to the liquor of the noxious and poisonous ingredient of vitriol. Gin itself was bad enough even in what was called its pure state, when thus drunk by the poor in large quantities; but its deleterious effects were dreadfully heightened by this infusion of vi triol ; and this was, he understood, always the case with the cheap liquor. Gin, at 3s. 4d. a gallon, if not adulterated in this manner, was not likely from its reduced strength to be very noxious; but it was the addition of vitriol which did the mischief. He thought some sort of penalty might be devised for this adulteration of gin with vitriol; then perhaps the effect would be to augment the price of the liquor, and place it more beyond the reach of those who were now become such shocking spectacles from their mournful propensities. Sir R. BIRNIE concurred in all that had been said upon the prevailing vice of drunkeaness. His situation gave him melancholy opportunities of ob serving the dreadful prevalence of drunkenness which now degraded the metropolis. For example, on last Monday morning he had no less than 72 charges brought before him at Bow-street, for abso lute and beastly drunkenness—(Hear, hear)—and what was worse, mostly of women, who had been picked out of the streets, where they had fallen dead drunk. It had been said that the Magistrates had the power of preventing persons ‘vho did not conform to the law in ,fitting up their houses, from having their licences renewed; but, be it remem bered, that was not always a very safe power to ex ercise, as was discovered by the late Sir Nathaniel Conant, and two other respectable Magistrates, who had to bear the expenses out of their own pockets, of different actions which had been brou rht against them for refusing to continue the licence of an indi vidual. For his part, he was determined to resist the licence of all those persons who hadside-doors. Mr. WEEKS called for the production' of a series: of resolutions drams up in 1816 by M r . Giff or d, an d' which, if enforced by the Magistrates, as they ought to be, would at least abolish this new mode of fitting up gin-shops. Mr. BRISCOE said that it would be in vain, he feared, to wean poor people from the use of gin until some wholesome substitute of beer could be provided for them good and cheap. But how could this be done until the dangerous monopoly of the great brewers of the metropolis were shaken. All regulations would be useless while this monopoly flourished. Sir E. HAMPSON on the next Court day would bring the subject of those resolutions of 1816 be fore the Court; Mr. Serjeant Pell's resolutions, as amended by Mr. Briscoe, were then carried unanimously. The Court broke up at five o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL, A man named Welch attended before Mr. Alder man COPELAND yesterday, to complain that the overseers of St. Andrew's, Holborn, had refused to relieve him. The overseers had been summoned to meet him, and were also in attendance. The pauper's statement was taken in writing, and signed by him; and the parties retired. BOW.STREET. Yesterday a police consta►le, named Robinson, No. 114, and attached to the letter F division, np- Peared before Mr. MINSHULL for advice and assist ance, under the following distressing circumstances. He stated that on Monday last his wife lay in, and she was attended in her confinement by the assistant of a medical gentleman, residing at West minster. After she was delivered, the medical man left her in the care of a nurse, and she and the infant were as well as could be expected. Before he went he directed the nurse, if she found her patient in any pain or the infant, to send to his employer's shop for some castor-oil, The nurse subse quently found it necessary to obey his direction, and when the medicine arrived, a portion of it was administered to both mother and child.— The infant, however, had hardly swallowed the dose, when it was seized with violent convul sions, and after lingering in torture for a few hours, it stiffened and died, and its little body soon after exhibited the appearance which would be occasioned by a deleterious drug. The mother also had ex perienced similar symptoms, and the anguish which she still suffered was most excruciating. Mr. MINSHULL regretted the situation of the ap plicant, but observed that natural causes might have occasioned the misfortune. The constable shook his head, and handed the bottle, with the remains of the medicine in it, to the Magistrate. Mr. Mlr4stium. could pass no opinion upon the contents, but castor oil appeared to be one of the in gredients. He recommended the constable to have the contents submitted to a Chymical process. The constable had gone for that purpose to no fewer than six Doctors, but all of them, in the most peremptory manner, declined to have any thing to do with the matter, observing that they had no desire to interfere with the practice of other pro fessional men. Mr. MINSHULL expressed some surprise at hear ing this, and observed that the refusing to satisfy the mind of a person under such circumstances re flected very little credit on the members of a liberal profession. He advised the applicant to lune the child opened and examined by the surgeon of the parish in which the transaction had taken place. The constable would follow the directions of the Magistrate, and withdrew. A female of lady-like appearance, who announced herself as the wife of a musical gentleman of ac knowledged talents, who held an appointment in the orchestra of Covent-garden theatre, applied to the Magistrate to compel her husband to support her. The lady stated that she went to Bath on a visit some time ago, and on her return found that her place was occupied by one of her husband's pupils. When she upbraided him with his conduct, he told her he had pleased himself, and she might do the same. Mr. MirismuLL told the lady that the regular course would be to prefer her complaint through the parish officers. By Mrs, WILLIAM PARKES.

Nearly the whole time of the Magistrates this week has been ocupied in hearing charges made by the police against individuals who neglected to cause the foot pavement in front of their houses to be cleared of ice and snow, as required by the Street Act. Mr. Minshull, the Magistrate of Bow-street, is one of those who were fined ; and Mr. Michael Angelo Taylor, the framer of the Act under which these convictions take place, is summoned to ap pear this day, and answer the alleged charge of dis regarding it. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday John Riches Kent, alias Sharpe, alias Marsden, and several other aliases, was brought up for further examination, charged with stealing a brown mare, the property of Mr. Thomas Pe!lett, landlord of the Flying Horse Inn, Canterbury. The parties were bound over to prosecute. UNION-HALL Yesterday Thomas Sales and John Lee were brought before Mr. HONE and Mr.ELYARD, charged with having been concerned in breaking into and robbing the house of Mr. Bowles, at Enfield, in Middlesex, on the night of the 19th of October last. A man named Wood, who was also con cerned in the burglary, has since expiated his life on the scaffold for the offence. Mr. Bowles and other witnesses having detailed the particulars of the robbery, in the course of the evidence it was stated that the parties concerned in the offence furnished themselves with a quantity of laudanum, for the purpose of mixing in the beer, which it was their intention to have treated the complainant's servants with. To effect this, Wood, who was acquainted with all Mr. Bowles's domes tics, was to have invited them to drink on the night that the house was broken into, at a public-house in the neighbourhood. There was no opportunity, however, for accomplishing this purpose, which was to have been done in order to throw the servants into a state of stupefaction, so that the house could be ransacked without the danger of being disturbed in the offence. The bottles, however, containing the liquid, together with a paper containing arsenic, which is supposed to have been intended to poison the dogs kept on the premises, were found near a haystack, close to the house. Amongst the pro perty stolen were several fine paintings, which were afterwards offered for sale in town by the thieves for a mere trifle, they being unacquainted with their value. There were also some hats taken, one of which was a white beaver. These articles were produced, and Lee was identified as having pledged them at the shop of a pawnbroker in the London road. The prisoner Lee made a voluntary confession, in which he implicated Wood (the man since exe cuted), Sales, and two other men, not in custody. ' Lee described the manner in which the'robbery was planned in London, and with great minuteness de tailed the particulars of their journey to Enfield,•the mode in which the prosecuus t es house was entered, and the different articles taken. therefrom, —their journey back t o t own , an d le public-houses they stopped at on the road. He also.. described the cir- 7 ', • cumstance relative to the laudanum, and said that he was intrusted by his associates 06 pour the liquid into the beer intended for Mr. Bowles's servant, when an opportunity presented itself, adding, al though he promised to execute it, he flung the bottles containing the laudanum behind a hay-stack, deter mined on not fulfilling a promise which might ulti mately have caused the death of some of those who might have drunk of the dangerous beverage. Lee's confession was borne out in all its principal circumstances by several witnesses, and both the pri soners were committed : Mr. HONE apprizing Lce that it would rest entirely with the Judge before the case was tried whether he would be admitted as • approver. MEETING OF THE PARISHIONERS OF ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN. RECTOR'S TITRES. Yesterday a 'numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of the above parish was held in the Workhouse, Gray's inn -lane, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee appointed on the 29th day of June last, relative to the Rector's claim for tithes. Mr. MITE, the solicitor, of Bedford-row, WA3 called to the Chair. Mr. TAYLOR, - the ♦estry clerk and solicitor to the parish, proceeded to read the Report of the Com mittee, which proceeded to state, that the right of the Rector (the Rev. Mr. Beresford) to claim tithes from:the inhabitants of that portion of the parish situate within the city of London, had already been conceded; but the inhabitants of the Middlesex por tion of the parish, conceiving that they were not bound by the same law upon which the Rector had established his right elsewhere, revolved to submit their case to Counsel, and accordingly Mr. Beauclerk, of Lincoln's-inn, was selected for that purpose. Mr. Taylor then read the opinion of that gentleman, which stated that the Rector could not maintain his claim for tithes upon the pa rishioners generally who resided in Middlesex, and who had uniformly resisted such claim. It might, how ever, be different with respect to those parishioners in that part of the parish who had been in the habit of paying tithes; and in all such cases, the Learned Counsel added his opinion, that the Rector's book in which the receipt of those tithes were entered would be sufficient evidence to establish his right that particular. The report concluded by stating, that as it was probable the Rector's demand for tithes would shortly be extended over the whole of the parish, such of the inhabitants as intended to rc 'ist should give notice to the Rector that they claimed the right of holding their premises tithe-free ; and to cover the expenses of any further litigation, it was recommended that a subscription be entered into. It was then, after some conversation, moved and carried, that the report be received. After some further observations, a resolution to the following effect was proposed and carried : " That the report be referred back to the Committee already appointed, with power to appoint additional Members from the Liberty of Saffron-hill, and that a conference be appointed with the Rector or his advisers for the purpose of ascertaining his inten tions; and that a general meeting of the inhabitants be called to let them know the result. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman,.and the meeting separated. MR. BOOTH, THE ACTOR. (From the Boston Bulletin.) We have learned the following particulars con cerning the unfortunate indisposition of Mr. Booth, at the Tremont Theatre last night. Slight symptoms of mental alienatio►+ have been perceived at times during the whole engagement, but it was hoped he would get through without failure. On Saturday he was evidently worse; and Saturday night he made several attempts to strangle a gentleman with whom he slept, insomuch that the latter was obliged to take another room. Sunday he was errant, but not so furiously wild. The managers, not daring to trust him, made arrangements on Monday to change the performances, but late in the afternoon he ap peared so rational and calm, and dressed and talked so judiciously, that they concluded to let him go on. He said he was perfect and confident. Soon after he came upon ►he stage, it was evident there would be trouble. He forgot himself once or twice, and re ceived the word from Messrs. Smith and Scott; and on going off he smiled at the former, as much as to say, ",it . won't do," On appearing in the third act he was wholly lost, and said, " Ladies and gentlemen, I am imperfect in this part, but, if you will talon' me to take the book and read, I will go on." He also proposed that Mr. Wilson should read for him. There was much applause, with some hissing, and cries of " Booth, go on." He replied, " I can't, I can't." He grew feeble as a child, and looked wild and raving, when Mr. Smith came upon the stage and led him off, assisted by Mr. Scott. At this time he appeared the object of pity, saying, faintly, " I am a , poor charity boy—take me to the Lunatic Hospital. Mr. Smith came on to apologise, and ask the in dulgence of the audience to a change of perform ances. Every one hail leave to take his money if he chose. Some few took advantage of this per mission, but the house was almost crowded with those who remained. In the mean time Booth was remonstrating be hind the scenes : " I can redeem myself, Sir," he said to the manager, " if you will let me play Sir Edward Mortimer—you see I am dressed for the part (which was true); " or I will play logo to Mr. Pelby's Othello; I am more perfect in those parts." He said this so rationally that the manager was about to gratify him, when he broke away in a strain of such decided madness, with glaring eyes and altered voice, that nothing remained but to pacify him, and go on with the comedy. It is intended, we believe, to keep him under the care of his physician, out of the way of all mental excitement for a few days, that he may recover from the shock of too great and too constantly wearing exertion, and be enabled to appear again, with re novated health and strength. He should be advised and warned to quit the stage for a time, and with draw from the cause of his disorder, before it be comes so firmly seated as to bid defiance to medical skill. PRO'VIDENCE, DEC. 11.--Mr. Booth, the cele brated tragedian, arrived in town yesterday, in a mental derangement, having travelled on foot from Boston. His feet were much swollen, and it is said he slept in the woods on Wednesday evening, cover ing himself with the leaves of the forest. He is now in the care of his friends, and we are happy to add, appears to be recovering from his illness.—(We learn that Mr. B. arrived in this city in the steam boat Benjamin Franklin, from Providence, yesterday morning, and that he appears to be again rational.) THE LAW INSTITUTION.—The members of this Institution and their friends celebrated yesterday the commencement of their new building, and the practical establishment of the institution, by a dinner at Freema sons' Tavern. This institution, projected in 1825, is li mited to attornies, solicitors, and proctors, in England and Ireland, and writers to the signet, and solicitors of the courts, in Scotland. Its object is to increase the respecta bility of the profession, and promote the general conve nience and advantage of its members : with which view it is proposed to provide a building, to consist of a hall, open at all hours of the day, and furnished with desks or en closed tables, like LLOYD'S Coffee-house, with newspapers, and other publications ; an ante-rwom for clerks and others, in which is to be kept an account of business con nected with the profession; a library, which it is designed shall contain acomplete collection of law books, an office of registry, a club-room, &c. Lectures on the different branches of law are also contemplated. ent, 60 25.
