ADULTERATING BEER.—Thomas Gill, landlord of the Hope public-house, in Upper East Smith field. was summoned for having beer-colouring in his possession.—On the 11th December two Excise officers went to the defendant's house, and found in the bar cupboard a quart of beer-colouring, made of burnt sugar and molasses, which the defendant said he hail for the purpose of colouring rum. In the ale-cellar they found two casks, containing about three hundred weight of salt. In the porter-cellar they found a tap-tub, at the bottom of which was a quantity of sugar, about an inch thick. Sugar was also found in other vessels in the cellar. The officers took a sample of the butt of beer en tap to the brewers who supplied the defendant with beer, and upon comparing it with a sample butt, it was found to be much deteriorated in strength, with a strong appearance of copperas. The latter article was stated to be probably used to give the beer a head. The COURT fined him in the mitigated ' , malty of 251.

SPRING ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER, Aram 16. TRIAL OF COX FOR MURDER. At nine o'clock Mr. Baron BOLLAND took his seat, and Thomas Cox, aged 50, was put to the bar, and arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with the wilful murder of William Wicks, at the parish of Risley, on the 28th of January last, by striking him with a hatchet on the forehead, and inflicting divers wounds on the head and neck, of which he died. William Cox, his son, also stood indicted as an accessory after the fact, in the said murder.— Both prisoners pleaded " not guilty" in a firm voice; but never w ere t wo more wre t c hed-looking beings placed at the bar of justice. Their appear ance betokened the last stage of squalid misery, and the countenance of the elder Cox especiallywas of a most unfavourable character. Mr. JUSTICE stated the case for the prosecution. In the parish of Bisley there is 'a romantic valley, over which are scattered about four cottages, inter spersed with trees and gardens. It lies in a lonely situation, and is called °attains. The murdered:: min lived in one of those cottages. He was labo.• rious and frugal, and bad the credit of saving a part of the fruits of his industry. lie was about 54; he lived a solitary life, and was able to become the proprietor of two of these cottages,—one in which he lived and was murdered, and the other rented by a woman, named Hannah Warren, who was the most important witness in this case. He was sup posed to have money in his possession, and was considered a miser, and to that, no doubt, his fate was to be attributed; but in fact he had very little money in the house, besides two notes of .5/. and 1/. of a bank in Gloucester, which had failed in 1816, upon which he had receired some dividends ; and these notes were, after the murder, in the hands of the younger Cox, who endeavoured to pass them. The woman Warren washed and mended for Wicks, and she was intimate with Thomas Cox, who was in the habit of coining to her cottage on a Saturday night, and staying till Sunday evening. He lived with his son at a place called the Thrup, near Stroud, in the house of a man and his wife named Chew, for whom they worked as weavers. In the latter part of 1829, the prisoners became very poor. The son pawned his watch and his clothes, and the father complained frequently of great want ; said he would do something besides weaving, and that it should be something which would be talked of. Spoke of Wicks as an old miser, and of a report that he had a cup of sovereigns in his house. On the evening of Thursday, the 28th of January, he called at Hannah Warren's cottage, between six and seven o'clock, and asked her whether she was going out ? She said " No; where are you going ?" He replied he had promised to meet somebody, and went away. She, not being satisfied, followed him into the lane leading to Wicks% house (which is only a few yards from her own) ; but he said she should not go with him, and she returned home. In about ten minutes after her return, she heard a noise as of something heavy falling in Wicks's house, which shook the doors, and immediately a groan. In ten minutes more Cox came into her cottage, and asked to wash his hands. He did so, and wiped them on some rags in the window. Those paltry rags were important evidence in the case, for they were after wards found to be stained with blood ! Warren noticed dark marks on a drab great coat he wore, and observed that he would not go near the light of the fire (there being no candle) although shivering with cold, nor draw the sides of his coat over his knees. She pressed him to take some supper, andjie stayed till about eight o'clock. When he went away she gave him some victuals for his son in a basin, tied up in a neckcloth. He carried this home tinder his arm, and that neckcloth was afterwards found to have received some marks of blood from his coat. He came to Warren's cottage again on Saturday evening, and as she set up all night ironing, he re mained in the same room with her, and said to her in the course of the night (which was overheard by her two sons, who slept in a room above) that he had " two bills" (Bank notes), and added, , E wonder if the old man has any more; I dare say he is dead." The next (Sunday) morning H anna h Warren took a shirt to Wicks's cottage, and then she found he had been barbarously murdered. She gave the alarm, and Cox and other persons came to the house. He was lying in the door-way leading from one room to the other, and had evidently been attacked while coming from the inner room to the outer room. His own hatchet was lying by hi s side, covered with blood, and that must hare been the instrument with which the wounds were inflicted. This statement renders it unnecessary to detail the evidence. The witnesses proved the facts, as well as a variety of other circumstances tending to criminate the elder Cox. The only evidence ag a i nst the younger prisoner was, that he had offered the notes to be changed in a public-house. The Jury pronounced Thomas Cox Guilty, and acquitted the sol. His LORDSHIP then passed sentence of death upon him. tion. He was a partner dissolved from Mr. Ingar field. In his opinion, the entry made by the pri soner in one of their books was enough to prove that he did not intend to cheat, embezzle, and steal. It came out in this part of the investigation, that previous to this charge being preferred, the prisoner had opened a fishmonger's shop midway between those of the prosecutor and Mr. Riley. Mr. Capon, a principal clerk in the Sun Fire office, had known the young man from his earliest infancy, and was of opinion that he was incapable of committing an immoral act, especially such a pal try crime as that with which he stood charged. The Rev. Mr. Mutter, the minister of the Epis copal t."tapel in Broadway, Westminster, deposed to his knowledge of the prisoner for five or Fix years. He was one of the teachers in a - Sunday-school, where the doctrines of the established church were diFseminatM, and he was of opinion that the young man was not only honest but exemplary. The COMMON SERJEANT then summed up the evidence, and in conclusion he told the jury to con •sider their verdict. Foreman (almost immediately, and ... with 6M siderablc emphasis)—" We declare the prisoner is —Not Guilty." This announcement caused a loud clapping of hands and other demonstrations of approbation, which were of course immediately suppressed by the Court. The COMMON SERJEANT then consulted with the counsel for the prosecution as to other indict ments, after which he said the jury, at that late hour of Saturday -evening, would roost likely wi!h to re tire. The foreman having nodded assent, the officer of the court gave notice that the prioner would be tried on Tuesday morning ❑pon another indictment, charging the prisoner with embezzling 26. Bd. This communication produced a singular sensa tion. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL 17. CONSPIRACY AGAINST MADAME VESTRIS. This morning Madame Vestris attended, with her friends, before the Grand Jury, and preferred a bill of indictment against Mr. Joshua Rose Anderson, the new vocal performer who lately made his ap pearance at Drury-lane theatre, and Wm. Hopkin son, in which she charged them with having gone to the theatre for the wanton purpose of hissing her, thereby endeavouring to intimidate her from exercising her profession. The circums'ances which led to this extraordinary proceeding were stated by two gentlemen, friends of Madame Vestris, who applied to Sir Richard Birnie on Friday, for his advice in her behalf. The gentlemen stated that Madame Vestris appeared on Tuesday evening at Drury-lane theatre, in her favourite character of Captain Macheath, on which occasion a party hired for the purpose by Mr. Anderson attempted to drive her from the stage by hissing, hooting, and cries of " Off, off; no female in breeches !" The gentle men added, that these noisy individuals, who were scattered about the house, had been paid by Mr. Anderson, in order that Madame Vestris might be compelled to give up playing Captain Macheath, and the character be assigned to Mr. Anderson. Sir Richard Birnie recomtnended the gentlemen to in indict the parties for conspiracy. A piece of advice rhich it appears was instantly followed. In the afternoon the Grand Jury came into Court and returned a true bill against Mr.- Anderson and Mr. Hopkinson. • Thomas Bradford, an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, was indicted for attempting to violate the person of Eliza Faulkner, a little girl twelve years of age, residing with her parents in Keppell-street, Chelsea. The prisoner lodged in the house of the child's parents, and it was alleged that he com mitted the offence during the absence of the child's mother. The evidence of the medical gentleman, however, did not bear out the charge. He was found Guilty of the minor offence, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. OLD BAILEY, Apra:, 17. Agnes Collins was indicted for stealing a pelisse and cloak, the property of a pawnbroker named Daniels, in Ratcliffe-highway. There was nothing in this to distinguish it from any ordinary case of petty larceny, except that the prisoner stole the ar ticles from the door of a pawnbroker, and then had the hardihood to go in and offer them in pledge to the person from whose door she had just stolen them; and he would hare taken them, though knowing her to be a peraon of bad character, had not his suspicions been awakened by some recollection of the articles.—She was found Guilty. Edmund Townsend, a respectable young man, aged 22, was indicted for embezzling 14s. ld., the property of Edmund Ingarfield and another his late employers. _ _ _ Mr.lngarfield, the prosecutor, a fishmonger, at the west end of the town, stated that the young man at the bar had been his confidential servant for a number of years, and in pursuaace thereof he was in the habit of receiving monies, and it was his pro vince to insert such receipts in the books kept for that purpose. They kept three books, viz.—a day and cash book, besides a ledger. A witness was called to prove the payment of the money, and it appeared that the prisoner had en tered it in one of the books, but had omitted to carry it to the cash account. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—What wager have you laid that your evidence would convict the prisoner ? Prosecutor—l have laid no such wager. Mr. CLAnKsoN—Now be careful. Now answer upon your oath, have you laid no wager or bet about the result of this affair ? Prosecutor—l had quite forgotten the matter. You appear to know more than I do. I did lay a wager that the prisoner had committed an offence which rendered him liable, if found guilty, to transportation. The COMMON SERJEANT—To what amount was your wager, Sir ? Prosecutor—Only a bottle of wine, my Lord, The witness then proceeded to state, that often when the prisoner handed over his money there were surplusses, and sometimes a deficiency.

We regret to state that du r i ng t h e l ast two d ay; there has been a partial turn-cut of cotton weavers in this town, accompanied by circumstances which at one time gave reason to suppose that there might possibly be a recurrence of the riotous scenes which occurred about the same period last year. The turn-out, we believe, is confined to the weavers of coarse shirtings and long cloths, who, being the least skilful, are necessarily the worst paid class of weavers in this neighbourhood. These men are mostly Irish, and it was amongst them that the disturbances of last year commenced. It would appear that the weavers now conceive that the improvemeot which has taken place in the mar ket for manufactured goods is a sufficient ground for calling upon their employers for some ad vance on the small pittance which they have been receiving during the late depressed state of trade. We are not able correctly to ascertain whether any proposition to this effect was made to the masters previous to the turn-out. The men allege that there was one made to Mr. J. J. Parker, of Newtown ; but that, instead of complying with it, he discharged the proposers ; this allegation Mr. Parker denies. It appears, however, that on Thursday, about nous, the own employed in a small mill in Mather-street, occupied. by Mr. Barber, turned out in a body, and proceeded to Mr. Hartley's factory in Dyehe-street, St. George's-road, where they forcibly compelled the weavers to cease working, and turn out, They then proceeded to Mr. Parker's factory in New town, whose hands had gone to dinner. These, on their return, were prevented from entering the mill, and the whole body, nearly 200 strong, proceeded to Mr. Parker's factory in Oldfield-road, Salford. In the evening the turn-outs, augmented by the hands of Mr. Reed, Mr. Smethurst, and Mr. Jack son, who had also turned out (hiring the day, met together in the fields near St. George's-road. What was the object of the meeting we are not exactly awara ; but we understand that a good deal of violent language was used towards one or two individuals who were considered the most ob noxious; but they at length separated, without com mitting the slightest violence. Yesterday morning they met again m the same place, about nine o'clock, but left the ground after having been a short time assembled. Having assembled before Mr. Parker's factory, Mr. Foster mildly remonstrated with them upon the impropriety o f th e i r go i ng a b out i n suc h l a rge bodies, and recommended that a deputation from their number should see Mr. Parker, and talk the matter calmly over with him. Accordingly three men —two of them Mr. Hartley's weavers, and one from Mr. Barber's factory—proceeded inside with Mr. Foster, where, we believe, they did not see Mr. Parker; but the result was an arrangement that they should wait upon the gentleman at two o'clock, at his power-loom factory in Middleton's court, Salford. At the time appointed the deputa tion called upon Mr. Parker, but what took place b e tween them we are not aware. At a late hour isst night, however, the deputation had not arrived at Mr. Parker's house; and it is therefore probable that they could not meet with the parties, or had been tillable to obtain their concurrence in an ad vance of wages.--Manchester Guardian.

A fire, attended with the most destructive conse quences and fearful loss of human lives, broke out yesterday morning, about twenty minutes past one o'clock, in the house of Mr. Grant, baker and cern chandler, No. 84, Fetter-lane, near Holborn. At the time-mentioned the watchman on duty noticd a volume of smoke and flames issuing out of the lower part of the premises. He immediately gave an alarm, but such was the rapidity with which the fire extended that by the time the shop-door was burst open the devouring clement had reached the first-floor. Almost directly • afterwards a most dis tressing and .heart-rending scene presented itself. The inmates, of whom there were nearly thirty in all, each room being occupied by a family, presented themselves at the windows, and men, women, and children were to be seen clinging to each other, and shriekini.in piteous accents for assistance, all retreat by the shop being cut off. Several parents threw their children out of the window, and they were caught by the persons below, and the mothers and fathers followed afterwards, and were also saved, but unfortunately not without receiving some severe contusions. Others escaped by the roof and the hack windows over the bakehouse into Barnard's inn at the rear, and were subsequently observed running about the streets in a state of nudity, while the screams of the females and the cries of the chil dren added to the consternation which prevailed. In less than fifteen minutes after the first alarm was given the whole house presented one sheet of fire, and on the arrival of the parish-engine, with Corby, the fireman of St. Andrew's parish, who was first on the spot, the adjoining dwelling, No. 83, belong ing to Mr. Wright, eating-house-keeper, was also in flames, and in the space of half an hour both houses were entirely consumed. The fire continued to spread with inconceivable rapidity, and - the stables of Mr. Hawkins, at the back of Mr. Wright's premises, were next in a blaze, arid the flames, rising to a column of nearly 100 feet in height, illuminated the atmosphere to a considerable distance. The greatest fears were now entertained for the safety of Messrs. Anderson's ex tensive distillery closely abutting on the back of the burning premises, but a plentiful supply of water being obtained, and several engines having been brought to play on the fire, it was fortunately pre vented from extending further. Mr. Grant's house, a very large one, and formerly two distinct dwell ings, was entirely destroyed, and flat a single article of property saved. This house, tis well as that of Mr. `Fright's, were composed chiefly of lath and plaster, which accounts for the rapid manner with which the flames spread. They both presented a► curious specimen of the ancient domestic achitec ture of our ancestors. Mr. Wright's house was, as well as the other, inhabited by labouring persons and their families, and the loss which they have suffered is very great. Ont of fourteen families nine have lost every thing, and the others, in the confusion, only saved a small portion of their pro perty. Mr. Hawkins's stables were burnt to the ground, with a .considerable quantity of hay and straw therein. We regret to state that four persons pelished in the flames, and three others arc so dreadfully burnt that their ultimate recovery is considered as vet) , doubtful. Among the sufferers is Mrs. Sirett, an elderly lady, aged SO years, who lived in a state of seclusion in a front room on the second floor at Mr. Grant's. The remain, of the unfortunate woman were dug out of the ruins at eleven o'clock, and conveyed to Mr. Russell's, an undertaker, at No. 51, opposite. The head and arms were completely burnt from the body, and Mrs. Sirett's remains were with difficulty identified by one of her sons. Mr. Howard, a bricklayer, aged 60 years, who rented a room on the second floor back, on the first alarm endeavoured to escape with his wife and son, a lad aged 12 years, but by some misfortune Mrs. Howard and her son fell a sacrifice to the flames, and Mr. Howard narrowly escaped destruction ; he rushed through the flames, and got out of one of the hack windows. lie was burnt in a shocking man lier, and one part of his person reduced to a cinder. He was instantly removed to Baldwin's ward in St. Bartholomew's hospital, and but very faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. The other sufferers were Mrs. Burgess (a widow) and her son and daughter (John and Charlotte Burgess), who occu pied a room on the attic story. The mother was burnt to death, and her son and daughter, who saved themselves, were so much scorched, that they were removed to the same hospital. The young man is in the same ward with Mr. Howard, and his sister was placed in Elizabeth ward, on the south side. The fate of their relatives was carefully concealed from the wretched sufferers in the hospital, who had every attention paid them on their admission. A bricklayer's labourer, named Richards, had a very natTow escape ; he inhabited a room adjoining Mr. Howard's, and, on opening his door, after being alarmed by the crackling of wood, was met by the flames, which scorched him ; he re treated to the window, jumped on the roof of the bakehouse, and escaped into Barnard's-inn. Mrs. Thackeray, the housekeeper to Mr. Grant, went through the roof, and got off with some slight cosi tusions. Mr. M‘Laughlin, a clerk to Mr. Douglas, a barrister, with his wife and five children, threw themselves from the window of their apartment, and were caught by the persons below. An aged woman, one of the pew-openers of St. Andrew's church, also threw herself out, and escaped unhurt. A Mail, whose name we were unable to ascertain, who jumped out from the third story, was not so fortunate, and, although his fall was broken by se veral avho held out their arms to receive him, he alighted on the pavement, and was seriously injured. A woman, who was removed to the house of a neighbour in King's Head-court, also met with a ! similar casualty. Mr. Grant, who made his escape in his night clothes, was not insured, and is consequently ruined by the calamity. Mr. Wright was more fortunate; he is insured in the Phcenix ; and Mr. Hawkins is also, we understand, covered to the extent of his loss. The houses were the property of Mr. Perry, of 227, Edgware-road, who had insured them in the County and Royal Exchange offices. The inmates who were burnt out were hospitably received at the houses of their neighbours, and clothing and food was provided for them. Mr. Gill, a fishmonger in Fetter-lane, whose humanity is be yond all praise, received no less than six families in his house, and saved a portion of their furniture from Mr. Wright's house. How the fire originated remains a mystery; every thing appeared safe at half-past twelve o'clock, when Mr. Grant retired to rest. At a quarter past one the house was one body of game. Soon after the fire broke out a disgraceful quarrel took place, owing to the conduct of some of the ward Makers, who refused to let three new policemen of the division G interfere to save the property of the sufferers. A row took place, which added to the confusion of the scene; but eventually the policemen were allowed to assist. The affair is to be investigated by the Common Council of the ward of Farringdon. ) .t t t l ie rt , 1. .5 5 ilikAeßlyß:wAe forthcominglu'n'B - t K o work , lN e G i te su n n o °del s rV in it : l l : l e— i b e le a l t to u , especially among i m )ic a t n a y re o h f e w h i a l o s al d r a w w i n i I 61 effil profession , itcyex oef. the l 'he intense interest of the plot and the startling nature of the catastrophe are likewise, it is NO, UIQI O sufficient to ensure its popularity. on t I fo l eydEuiefitsbreelricvsoiognfng!mh brothertnb a e r afil, PRICE 7D. ELOPEMENT OF A YOUNG LADY. In the beginning of last week great consternation prevailed in the family of Mrs. Aaron, a widow lady, residing at Kennington, owing to one of her daughters, a girl about eighteen years of age, hav ing eloped from home. Upon inquiry into the cir cumstances it was discovered that she bad gone off with a common sailor, belonging to the Lord Low ther East Indiam an , hen on the point of sailing for India. It appears that the young lady, *lid *rid described as highly accomplished, had recently emne home from a boarding-school, where she had beak instructed in French, Italian, music, and dancing; in fact, she was considered as possessed of very ate. perior literary attainments, and had just finished her education when the above occurrence happened. The circumstances that led to the elopement were these :—One of Mrs. Aaron's servant girls has a brother, a sailor belonging to the above named ship, and he was permitted to call and see his sister. In the course of those visits it seemed Miss Aaron became deeply enamoured of the sailor, and he. soon perceiving the favourable manner in which lie was looked upon by the young lady, availed himsei: of it, and an intimacy soon commenced, and for the purpose of seeing each other frequently, appoint :Dente took place between them, and they used to meet generally either on Kennington-common or on the Brixton-road. None of the family were aware of what was going forward, no person in the }mute being in the secret, with the exception of the servant girl, who, being related to the sailor, aided and as sisted them all in her power. The result of these interviews between the parties watt a promise on each side to become min and wife, and a day was appointed for putting up -the banns for marriage, In the interval, however, the acquaintance which subsisted between the lovers was discovered by the family ; and the moment Miss Aaron got a hint of it she immediately abandoned home, and threw herself into the arms of the sailor, who took her to a house in Rotherhithe, where they re mained together some days in seclusion. During this time the young lady's family, who were in a state of great anxiety about her, wade every inquiry as to where she had fled, but no intelligence was heard of her until Friday morning. The previonte day a female, residing in the street where the sailor and Miss Aaron then were, saw the latter, and, perceiving such an extraordinary difference in the appearance of them from each ether, at once con c!teled that it was a runaway match. By dint of inquiry the female at length discovered the resi denee of Mrs. Aaron at Kennington, and proceeded there forthwith, and gave information where the young lady and the sailor were to be found. No time was lest in repairing to the place, and there the lovers were found together in a miserable house. The sailor was immediately given into the custody of a police constable, and Miss Aaron was with difficulty torn from his embraces and taken home. On Se' urday the sailor, who gave his name John Callaghan, was taken before the Magistrates at Union-hall, but neither the young lady nor any of her family appeared to make any complaint against him. The prisoner is a stout sandy-haired young fellow, and said he was a native of Ireland. Inspector Bullock, of letter M division,stated that on the preceding night an elderly lady accompanied by a female called at his station, and appeared over• whclmcd in trouble respecting her slaughter, a young lady of eighteen, who had eloped with a COMMOR sailor belonging to an Indiaman. The applicant stated to him (the inspector) that the sailor was the brother of a girl in her service, and owing to the re lationship had liberty to visit his sister, a permission of which he was in the habit of frequently availing himself. In the course of his visits, her daughter, who was a most accomplished girl, and had recently i uitted a boarding school, had unfortunately become attached to the sailor. On disceverieg their inti macy, every thing that ingenuity coald devise was done, to prevent a recurrence of their meetings, but notwithstanding the strict eye kept upon the young lady, she managed to keep up a correspondence with the sailor, and ultimately went off with him. For several days no tidings were heard of the fugitives, but their place of retreat was a length discovered, on Friday evening, entirely owing to a &Male who lived opposite the house where they took refuge at Horslydown. The Inspector said that the young lady's mother then besought him to accompany her to the place where her daughter was represented to be in con cealment. He proceeded there according to the wish of the old lady, and discovered both the daugh ter and the sailor together at a house principally occupied by the lower order of Irish people. The Inspector took:the sailor into custody, and the young lady was with difficulty separated from him and taken home. The Magistrates inquired whether the young lady or any of her family were present to make any com plaint against the man in custody T--The Inspector said that the family were loth to come forward under such circumstances, as the young lady had declared she eloped of her own accord, adding that the sailor was not to blame. The Magistrate as ked the sailor why he had pre sumed to induce the young lady to abandon her home, and go off with him ?—The sailor, hitching up his trousers, said, " Your Worship, she always kept writing to me, declaring her intention either to hang or drown herself if I would not hare her, and so I was resolved to accommodate her." Mr. 1-losli—Were you married ? Sailor—No, Sir ; but we were out-asked, and were to have been married to-morrow. Mr. HoNE—Take care that yon don't get hanged instead of married. A fellow like you in veigling away the daughter of respectable parents. Sailor—l hope not, Sir; she came to me of her own free will, and brought nothing with her only the clothed she stood upright in. The Inspector declared this to be the fact ; add ing, as he was informed, that when she was of age :she was entitled to 2,0001. Mr. HoNn asked the sailor how he intended to support her had they been married ?—He replied that he was going out in the Lord Lowther for three years, and intended to have settled half his wages (SW. a Month) upon her while he was absent. Mr. ELYARD—What countryman are you ?—An Irishman. Mr. ELYARD—And what is your age P—Twenty one, your Honour, next November. Mr. ELYARD—You have soon begun fortune hunting then ? When asked where he had taken the young lady, he replied that he had carried her off very com fortably to the house of his friend, Put Quin, at Horslydown, and intended to have kept her there until they got married. The Inspector said, that there was every reason to suppose that, while in the house the sailor described, he and the young lady lived there as man and wife, for in his (the Inspector's) hearing, when the Richer questioned uinnedroelry, e he undone." observing, o „ Oe subject, What ) been ddi done e oL deny n cannot it, ot be The Magistrate observed, that there was no evi dence of any kind adduced against the sailor, there fore lie could not be detained. The young lady, it appeared, after all the money that had been expended on her education, had acted in the most imprudent manner in eloping with a man so inferior to her in every respect, for he was not only a rough uncouth fellow in point of appearance, but also in manners and behaviour. The sailor was then warned to keep away from the residence of the young lady, and he promised to join his ship that evening which was about to drop down the river and sail for her destination.
