Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay I/. 3s. only during the first live years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his fixture Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally paid by him.

THE ROBBERY OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS. OXFORD, AvaiL 15.—This morning Richard Elliott was brought up for further examination at Oxford Castle, before R. Marsham, Esq , D.C.L., and Captain Shephard. As on fo ma occasions, Mr. Ballantine, a barrister, and Mr. Ro binson, an Old Bailey solicitor, appeared on behalf of the prisoner. The first witness examined was Thomas Lucas, the City Marshal, who took , Elliot into custody. He found him in bed at the Crown Inn, Benson, and searched his clothes and the room. He had 19/. in gold . and 18s. 2id. in silver and copper in his pockets. He told Lucas he was going to Box, near Bath, and upon Lucas insisting upon his going back with him to Oxford, he said it would be awkward for him, as he had to meet persons at Eton and Windsor next morning. Lucas brought him in custody to Oxford. Mr. Burgess, of the ITt.ing's Arms Inn, Sandford, proved the finding of a blue bag, with a box, with a, stone and sand in, between Nuneham and Sandford soon after the Defiance coach passed on the day of the robbery. Mr. Martin Mountjoy, groom of the chambers to the Earl of Chesterfield, was a passenger at the back of the coach with Elliott, who got up at Knights bridge, and saw him get down and go into the inn at Ben• son; afterwards saw a passenger who had been sitting on the box seat get on the side the coachman sits, while the, coach man was down, and take ,a blue bag out of the boot, and reach across With it, but from the .position witness was in couldnot tell whether he gave the bag to any one or dropped it in the boot again. When the coach left. Benson a few minutes afterwards, Elliott was standing hi a position be hind it. This was the whole of the remainder of the evi dence, and - the Magistrates, after hearing Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner, committed him for' trial at the next assizes or to find bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 250/. each. Mr. Ballantine complained that the bail was`exorbitant, and intimated that the prisoner would appeal to one of the judges. Mr. T. Baring, the unsuccessful opponent of Mr. Pattison in the recent City of London contest, is the Govern ment candidate for Huntingdonshire. On board the Reine-Blanche, Nov. 15,1843. Monitiqr le Ministre,—Being less hurried to-day, I shall now have the honour of writing to you enclosing the details of the affairs of Otaheite. I sent you an exact account of the state in which I found them and I will now make you acquainted with the events which have occurred since the acceptance of the Protectorate. Unheard-of intrigues have taken place, not only to induce Queen Pomare to contravene the treaty, 'which' she entered into of her own proper accord, to which she even solicited the consent of the great chiefs of the Archipelago in September last [year, but even to obtain the annulment of the treaty, or to prevent its execution, by creating such obstacles as to make it believed that violence, and outrageous proceeding had been had recourse to by us towards _the Queen.' In order to explain the situation of Otaheite, I am forced to recur to the past, even to a very distant period—that of the ministry of Mr Canning. At that time the whites had so increased in the Society Islands, that the missionaries, who, as all the world knows, are chosen from the very dregs of society in London, and taken from among labourers, such as black smiths, carpenters, and others of the same class, not being sufficiently enlightened to make good ;laws, capable of serving as the base of Well organised society, acknow ledged their -incapacity, or the chiefs acknowledging it for them, thought it necessary to address themselves to the Go vernment of Great Britain, which was at that time almost. the only one of which they had heard, and prayed his Bri tannic Majesty to take them under his protection, and to grant them the British flag. The Admiralty was then con sulted, and its opinion being that the accession of that- archi pelago to the Crown - of England would be more onerous than profitable, Mr. Canning, the Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs, repliedby a refusal, but a polite one, as may be conceived, for it was necessary to palliate so harsh a pro ceeding. WhO would think that this proof of a disinclination to serve this poor people, which begged it in order to escape from their state of degradation, would one day become the title upon which Britain would vindicate its title to the dominion of these islands ? It is, nevertheless, that which has happened; and that pretension, such as it was, was the foundation of the conduct of the English officers, who thought themselves entitled to interfere in matters which did not concern them. It is true, however, that the English Govern ment, better informed, did not assert that ridiculous preten sion, which could not have the shadow of a right ; and, in fact, it is more logical to infer, from the refusal of protection by England, that she recognised the right of Otabeite to claim protection where it liked. I acknowledged that it was this consideration, so simple and so natural,, that decided me in not refusing the Protectorate which was offered. I was well convinced that our situation in the Marquesas would draw British naval officers to endeavour to establish them selves in Otaheite, and it gannet be doubted that without the flag of the Protectorate, the flag would have been hoisted before the King could determine upon the subject. That which, on the other hand, proves that our rights are real, is, that they were at least partly respected ; without that, the English would certainly have planted their standard on that archipelago ; not being able to do so, they determined to use other arms. But whatever they did, the truth is as clear as light, by the tranquil exercise of our Protectorate for four mouths. Every one at Otaheite was glad to see justice at length established, where anarchy, assassination, theft, and all the other abominable vices which drunkenness and de bauchery bring in their train. The letter of the Queen to the Provisional Government, dated the 16th December; 1842, and the letter of the same date which she wrote to the Regent, to complain that he did not sufficiently support the measures of the Provisional Government, were these' letters drawn from the Queen by fear ? Evidently not. We had only two officers there, without troops or ships. Are these letters, on the contrary, not a free acquiescence in all that had been done ? Let them produce the instructions given by Sir George Gipps, the Governor of New South Wales, to Commander Sullivan, of the Favourite, find the report of that officer on his return to New Holland, and it will .be seen that, having been sent to Otaheite to gather complaints against us, he heard nothing but eulogising on our administration. This I learnt from Captain Lavand, to whom he said it. What more is necessary to be convinced of this? To me it appears nothing, because the light of day cannot be denied. We had neither land nor sea forces to act ; two officers were sufficient, because all was done with the consent of the Queen, the chiefs, and the people. The troubles at Otaheite recommenced at the arrival of the Talbot, in January, 1843. The officer commanding that ship not being able to erect the standard of England on these islands, as he intended, created discord, and endeavoured, by the aid of the missionaries, to make the Queen recal her most fermal acts and sacred engagements. From that began the iiitrigues, which did not end till my arrival. All means were put in play, either to embarrass the Provisional Government, or to obtain concessions for themselves, in order to create a title, if not real, at least apparent. A short time after the departure of the Talbot, Mr. Pritchard disembarked from on board the 'Vindictive, And did not ;wait till she arrived at her anchorage. He was put on shore at the nearest point, and preached ` immediately a cru sade against us and against the Provisional Government. " It is necessary to eject it (said he), and to abolish the Pro- Visional Governnient ;" and he called the natives to arms. All this is proved by letters written by Englishmen, espe cially by Mr. Smith, in answer to the commander of the Vin dictive, who required information as to the facts. They are, besides, confirmed" by Mr. Salmon, an Englishman, and bro ther. in-law of Queen Pomare, who saw and heard from that time all the harm that the councils of Mr. Pritchard did to his sister-in-law and her family. . . The period of the arrival of the missionary Consul 'was sig nalised by a redoubling of the disorders. it was then that the pavilion de fantaisie was-thought of, which they obliged Queen Pomare-to adopt, notwithstanding her engagements with France. It would be too long to show how the com mander of the Vindictive conducted himself with regard to us. Every act of his showed his hostile feeling to France.' One day he requested, or rather he informed us, under the . form of request, . that he was going to put a man on shore to guard some articles which he was about to embark for re pairs. He first put a soldier on duty without uniform, .then one in unifor% without arms, then an armed soldier, then two, afterward three, and at last eight or ten. Another day he said he was going to send a sailor, to see if he could discover a ship which he expected. Shortly after the sailor was seen carrying a signal post. In short, there was soon established a regular signal post, without regard to the con vention between Queen Pomare and France. He did the same in everything. All he did was a succession of attempts and encroachments on us. _ _ •After my correspondence with Captain Tucker, your Ex cellency will understand what was the real object of the encroachments of the captain of the Vindictive. That officer evidently tried to give them all their weight. But it appears to me that the claims made by Captain Tucker, of establishments unduly conceded to the captain of the Vindictive, , raised an important question, which is, what right the Queen had to make concessions of this nature to a foreign Power; 'having, previously to those acts, com pletely and irrevocably transferred the internal sovereignty of the•SOciety Islands to his Majesty the King of the French. It appeared evident to -me that she had no such poWer, and that from the day she signed the treaty she bad definitively rtviejincaioto,uttscnocinends consequently, its su l loerdniiirglernc,,t everyrelations out with foreign Governments, and id. It is easy to see that gapntaeciesnsTaoriulyp at Nicholas only thought how he could get his country to take by all boef nullth theseank kind l e C .l part against ours. All respect for the independence of sove reigns and the tights of nations were set at nought by him. Nevertheless, he would have undoubtedly thought it very bad • and unjust that any Power should have interfered in China after the treaty made with England. Yet that was his con duct to us. Still further, when he paid ridiculous honours to a flag invented and established as a sign of the renunciation of the treaty, did, he not interfere directly, in affairs to which he ought to have remained a stranger, and is it not a potent de monstration of his hostility to France? What treaties will be possible or binding if such interference be allowed ? This flag, which was paid so much court to, only because, not being able to hoist the English flag, he hoped it would one day become au obstacle to the organisation of the Protectorate, so that we should be necessitated to pull it down, because It was established as a signal of revolt against the treaty, would cause a kind of conflict, from which it would be in ferred that we had broken the treaty because wo had been obliged to do more than it provided for, and that it would also give the opportunity of drawing very logical conclusions to cry out against the oppression of the poor Queen Pomare, and to give to oil% acts a colour of odious persecution, and at the same time of complaining loudly of our insatiable ambi tion. In short, the truth is that it was thought by this means an opportunity would arise of raising all Eng land against France. Mr. Pritchard endeavoured to frighten the Queen by say ing that I wished to carry her away to France. The object was, that as in these isles exile is considered a worse punish ment than death, the Queen should be forced to seek an asylum in his house from which he would not allow her to come out even to receive me. He had the pretension to wish that the affairs of Otaheite should be conducted in his con sulate ; and when the Queen, in spite of him, received me at her house, I learned that she had determined to pull down his flag, but that Mr. Pritchard, by besetting her, made her recal that decision by promising her that if we pulled down. our flag, he would pull down his, and that his would be again hoisted if the flag of Queen Pomare would appear at the same time. Mr. Pritchard, however, did not pull down the flag of his consulate till nearly half an hour after the,fancy flag of the Queen had been pulled down, and replaced by that of France. But soon afterwards he thought of making the Queen pay a visit to the Dublin frigate, in order to have an opportunity of re-hoisting this mystic rag, and of having it saluted with twenty-one guns by that frigate, whith be fore my arrival, had already saluted it. But very f r ortu• nately I was informed in time of this new and insulting provocation, and I succeeded iu preventing the execu tion of it by writing at once to Capt. Tucker on the subject. Although this report is already very long, I do not think I have yet told your Excellency all that it is . necessary you should .know ; and I think. I cannot do better than send. Lieutenant Reine to France, in order to give information to the Government. Ile is a lieutenant whose conduct as Governor of Otaheite has been so honourable, that notwith standing the difficulties of his position, he has met with eulo giunas from all parties. He will explain what does not ap pear clear, and he will evidently aid the Government to estimate at its just value the state of civilization of those people, and to make known their real wants. They cannot go on any longer by themselves; that is very evident to those that know them ; but it is also evident that the English only want to force us to abandon this archipelago, in order that they may seize upon it themselves, and establish them selves in our place. M. Reine is a distinguished officer, who -has given un doubted proofs of his honourable character; and he merits not only the confidence of Government, but to be worthily recompensed for the honour which his conduct has brought upon our service. As a resume of the facts, and in order that the time of their succession may be known, I have to address one word. Arrived alone at Otaheite on the Ist - of November, and moored at Papeiti, where I found the French corvette L"Em buscade, which had been stationed in this port since June, and the English frigate Dublin, which arrived on the Ist of October. Admiral Thomas was not on board. lie had re mained at the Sandwich Islands; 'The day I anchored I . nod fled to the Queen the acceptance of the protectorate by King Louis Philippe 1., the full and entire ratification of the treaty of the 9th of September, 1842, and I announced the future arrival of the Commissioner named by the King to' reside with her. I wrote the. same day to the foreign consuls to communicate this news. I passed the 2d in in_quiring into the state of affairs , and I ascertained that the councillors of the Queen had deter mined to maintain .a flag which they had made her adopt since the signature of the treaty of 9th of September, 1842, and which they had raised, solemnly as , a sign of hostility to that treaty, after the arrival of the Vindictive. , I then de termined to make the Queen take a part more in conformity with her honour and her engagements, to write to her to direct her to take down that flag, which. I could only regard as an insult to our national dignity ; and to bring her to a determination more promptly,l announced to her on the 3d that the Protectorate flag not being sufficient to gua rantee our rights against strangers, I should be under the necessity of replacing it on all the points of protection by our national flag. Conformably with this intimation, our na tional flag was hoisted on the morning of the 4th, on the island of Mouton-Outa. Laßeine-Blanche and L'Embuscade, fully decorated, and also the fort of Monton-Outa, saluted with twenty- one guns. The commander of the Dublin apolo gised for not taking a part in the salute (s'excusa de ne point prendre part au salut), not having yet received orders from his Government. Towards mid-day the liranie and, the Dance arrived in sight of the port, and anchored at four o'clock. They saluted in the same way at sunset. At four in the morning, perceiving that the Queen persisted in placing over her house the pretended royal flag, which she hoisted and pulled down at the same time with the Dublin frigate, by which it was clearly indicated from what quarter the resistance came, I directed the Consul Malet to advise again with her, but with out effect, and I then notified to her on the sth, that if she did not write to apologise and to give up frankly her opposi tion to the Protectorate, I should find myself obliged, in spite of myself, to go beyond it, to recognise it no. longer, and, in short, to take definitive posseSsion of the archipelago of the. Society Islands. This attempt not being crowned with better success, I went the same even ing to' make a last effort. We were not received. She was at Mr. Pritchard's house, and I could not even obtain a promise of an interview on' the following day. She sent me an answer that she would see, and that if she could not see me she would write to me before next day. In the night. Lreceived a letter from the Queen, who appointed a meeting for the next morning at eight o'clock. I accordingly recalled the orders I had given to disembark in the morning and to take possession. At eight on the morning of the 6th, I went to the audience which I had obtained. I then told the Queen 'the consequence of those events; I explained to her the dan gers to which she exposed herself by her obstinacy. Not being able • to get an answer, either positive or negative, I took leave, and announced at the same,time, that if, before mid-day; her flag was not pulled down; I should land with the King's Commissioner and establish the Protectorate; but that if her flag was not pulled down I would carry into effect the measures which I 'had' adopted, but which I bad sus pended till I should get her answer; and that then I should take definitive possession of the archipelago of the islands and its dependencies.. The flag not having been pulled down at the appointed hour, we have taken, in the name of the King and of France, definitive possession of the archipelago of the Society Islands and their dependencies.—l am, &c. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. YROX Tail EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—The House of Commons re-assembled last night. Sir Robert Peel, in reply to a request of Mr. Wyse, to delay the Irish Registration Bill, offered some advice upon the subject of the progress of the public busi ness, which might indeed have occurred to gentlemen upon reflecting that ten or eleven weeks of the session have already passed without the perfecting of any of the proposed measures most important to the general welfare. Now is the season for economising the time of Parliament —the economy of time comes too • late when the time has been idly spent. Parliament has a great deal of work before it. There are the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, the Bank Charter Bill, the Factories Bill, the Local Courts Bill, the New Poor-law Amendment Bill, this Irish Registra tion Bill—all measures of vital interest—besides a multitude of other measures of greater or less importance. Now, considering the little that has been done since the beginning of February, it is plain that Parliament must mend its pace, if it is to get through all these measures, or, for that matter, half of them, before the beginning of September. As to the demand for delay in the case of the Irisk Registration Bill, it is difficult to conceive upon what rational ground it can be supported. The Parliament and the people, both in Ireland and Great Britain, have had ample notice of the purpose to intro duce such a measure in the Royal speech at the open ing of the session. Nor can the people of Ireland pretend ignorance of its spirit, after the intimations they have had of the resolution of the statesmen by whom it is introduced to insist upon a bona fide fran chise, and to support the interpretation of the law given by ten of the twelve judges of Ireland. The Bill can take no one by surprise. Why then waste the time of Parliament by delaying it ? Mr. Wyse says, that the Irish Members are not in town. Why are they not in • town—why, at least, cannot they be in town on Friday ? The assizes are some time since over, and what is there to detain the Irish Members from attending their Parliamentary duties ? Mr. Smith O'Brien is, we see, qualifying for the office of locum tenens to Mr. O'Connell during any period for which the law may claim the latter gentleman's person. Mr. Dillon Browne, too, seems to be in like manner preparing to succeed Mr. Steele for a time in the office of " head pacificator ;" but these are not all the Irish Members, and if they were, we doubt that Parliament ought to take their present occupation as an excuse for the neglect of their duties as legislators. There are, indeed, other Members of the House of Com mons who may be disagreeably pressed by urgent per sonal if not private affairs on Friday ; but. as it is not unlikely that they will be non-effective for the whole remnant of the session, their temporary absence cannot pro perly be taken into account. the fact is, that the purp ose of the Repealers is to defeat the Bill by all mea ns , f a i r ' and foul, and this supplication for delay is merely the beginning of the foul play. The parti pretre in Ireland have reason to be contented with the fr au d u l en t struc ture of the Irish ;constituency in a majority of the counties, for though they have not u p on th e reg i s t ry as many unqualified persons as they could wish, they • are successful to the extent of keeping a multitude of qualified persons off from it, which serves the double purpose o f secur i ng th e i r p ower and establishing . a plausible sho w o f gr i evance , i n the reduced and diminishing number of Irish electors. We hope that no consideration of diffi cu lty, h oweve r, will prevent Ministers from passing this Bill, which is as necessary to Ireland on the ground of constitutional policy, as in social, and, if we may say so, material policy, it will prove beneficial. Nothing, indeed, but such a Bill can save the Irish constituency from practical extinction in many counties. Th e f rau dulent system cannot . main tainitself finally, but it can last long enough to drive all bona fide electors from the registry. The Times, we see, intimates an opinion that this Bill ought to be given up, lest it obstruct the business of the session. This, however, were the worst possible course. Something must be done in the matter, and the more promptly and peremptorily it is done, the less waste will there be of the public time. ,A good part of each of several successive sessions has been squandered upon it to no end, for this very reason, that it was too easily given up. This good effect (the only one) has followed so many discussions and postponements, that the subject is now thoroughly understood. The Ministers can carry it if they please, and we sincerely hope that it will please them to do so. GLOBE.—" The promotion of Mr. Kelly to the place of Solicitor-General was," says the Post, "generally expected by the Bar." In this expectation there was an almost universal concurrence. The profession looked to Mr. Kelly's superior qualifications _ as a lawyer—the Tories to the extraordinary sacrifices which Mr. Kelly had made for the Government. In both these gene rally-recognised qualifications for legal office, Mr. Kelly's superiority over Mr. Thesiger was univer sally allowed. By selecting an inferior man, the Minis try has disappointed the lawyers ; who, irrespective of party considerations, have a commendable satisfaetion in seeing the honours of their profession conferred on confessedly eminent legal superiority. The par tisans of a Government naturally expect that great sacrifices in the support of the Administra tion should be recognised by the Minister, and rewarded, in due course, in the distribution of the patronage of , Government.. The passing over of Mr. • Kelly in favour of Mr. Thesiger, although not altogether unexpected, has therefore caused a general expression of disapproval in Westminster Hall; while among the ex pectants of appointments to office, in return for zealous exertions and ex tOsive sacrifices for. the Ministry, the observation is hesiti-"-If Kelly has been thus treated, what hope have' we ,:tha,ts." our , : elaiina will not be disre garded, and our hopes terminate in disappointment?" The blundering - explanatiens and lame excuses of the Government journals---while - they imply a knowledge of the general dissatisfaetion which the selection of Mr. Thesiger for the office has produced—instead of mend ing the position of the Government only increase its difficulties, by strengthening the dissatisfactions al . rea t c l _ y prevalent. To soften the asperities which prevall herald yesterday offered two considerations—sufficientiye extraordinary. The first relates to Mr._ hesiger's call to the bar, which is stated to be ?f an earlier date than that of Mr. Kelly ; and on this ground would have been a slight to 11r.,,Mr. Kelly was Thesiger had M r . Kelly been appointed over him. known as one of the most rising men of the outer bar, end as such was engaged in hery causes, the " tackling" of which was confided to his caution and skill ; whil e Mr. Thesiger's p r a ctice was principally confined to the Palace Court and to the Quarter Sessions, beyond which his name was but rarely heard. That Mr. Thesiger has worked his way up to a very respectable position in the superior courts, and that his popular ad dress has made him a. favourite at Nisi Prius, is not dis puted. In Banco, where the legal k now l e d ge o f t h e advocate is most required, and glib ness o f tongue i s less in request, Mr. Thesiger d oes not possess an estimation worthy of being co m p are d w ith m any' menmuch his juniors in the profession. Besides, if this argument be wQrth any thing, its throat was already cut by the selection of Sir W. Follett in 1834. The second suggestion of the Herald is, that Mr. O'Connell—who in this, as in everything else, seems to exist for no other purpose than to increase the " diffi culties" of Sir Robert Peel's Government—Mr. O'Con nell prevented Mr. Kelly from getting the Solicitor- Generalship!—" Knowing;" says the Herald, " that Mr. Kelly had - been retained on behalf of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow traversers 'to conduct the proceedings about to take place in the Hogs& of Lords, as their leading counsel, Ministers would feel a great delicacy in depriving them of such invaluable assistance as that of Mr. Kelly. This This must inevitably-have been the case, had Mr. Kelly been promoted to the Solicitor-Generalship." Only think of - the " great delicacy" of Ministers ! Rather than deprive O'Connell and his fellow traversers of the " invaluable assistance" of Mr. Kelly, in their appeal to the House of Lords against 'the decision of the Court. of Queen's Bench (Ireland), in 'a Govern ment prosecution, Ministers have actually deprived th , rnselves, as a Government, of Mr. Kelly's "in valuable assistance" as one of their principal law officers ! The appeal, in which Mr. Kelly's " in valuable assistance" is to be afferded to O'Connell and his fellow traversers, 'is known to be contingent on other decisions, upon proceedings which must inter vene. If ever required, it must necessarily be at a future and a considerably distant period ! Such an explanation cannot fail to satisfy every one that the Go yernment must' be sorely pressed for excuses in defence ..6f their appointment, felt to be indefensible on tenable grounds. The reason, we assigned some days since for the probable preference of Mr. Thesiger to Mr. Kelly is believed to be the true one. When, on being appointed Solicitor-General, Sir ThOthas Wilde's seat for Newark became vacant, it was deemed highly important to the Tories, that the Government law-officer should be op posed, with every means and appliance, to prevent his re-election. Mr. Thesiger was selected as the best man for the purpose, with a distinct promise that he should be Solicitor-General under a Peel Ministry, on the first vacancy after Sir William Follett was otherwise disposed of. A desperately hard fight was sustained, and a heavy expense incurred. Mr. Tbesiger claimed the fulfilment of the pledge ; and is Solicitor-General. To patter about Peel's purity-of-election principles, which would not all ow him to confer office on Mr. Kelly because of his connection with bribery at Ipswich, is ridiculous. Was not Sr James Scarlett made Chief Baron, with a peerage, after tho Norwich exposures ? TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, APRIL 16, 1844.

REVOLTING CHARGE.—At the Bristol Quarter Ses sions on Tuesday, the Rev. Henry Ileatlicote, who was de scribed in the calendar as forty years of age, and who is A clergyman of the Church of England, a married man with two sons, was placed at the bar charged with a series of offences of the most disgusting character. It is utterly im possible to give the evidence, which disclosed a state of moral depravity on the part of the prisoner scarcely possible to exist with sanity of intellect. As respects the first indict ment, the jury acquitted the prisoner of all the serious counts, and found him guilty of only the common assault; on tho second indictment they found him not guilty of the intent, but guilty of the solicitation, and of the common assault. The other indictment was 'withdrawn. The Recorder then, on the first indictment, sentenced him to pay a fine of twenty shillings i for the offence in the second, of solicitation, &c., twelve months imprisonment in the common gaol of the . city ; and for the common assault in that indictment to pay a further fine of twenty_shillings.—Bath Herald.

The: humble supplications of the highwayman were answered with, "Be easy, boy, be . easy, I won't hurt ye." Still the conscience-stricken robber kept . pleading, till, - at. length the chaise reached the captam s lodgings, when he hauled the fellow out of the coach, walked up to the, garret, and locked themselves in. He then took off his own coat, and said, " Now, Sir, I neither mean to hang ye, nor hurt ye, but just give you a broth of a best ing, which, haying accomplished, he opened the door, bade the robber be oft; and the next time he stopped s coach, to rap at the window, and ask if Pat Nagle - was inside, before he ventured to poke his pistol into it.
