The Property has been divided into four Lots for the convenience of Purchasers, which may be tendered for separately or collec , ively, and the whole may be viewed upon application to the Ordnance Storekeeper at North Hyde. Descriptive Particulars of the Property, and Plans with the Conditions of Sale annexed, may he had on applica tion at the Storekeeper's Office at North Hyde ; at the office of Mr. James Smith, Ordnance Solicitor, IS, Anstin Friars, London ; and at the Ordnance Office, Pall-Mall ; where the Tenders are to be delivered on or before the said 19th diy of May next, marked on the outside, " Tender for the purchase of Lands and Buildings a' North Hyde." • night, about nine o'clock, as some persons were walking along a place caHed Tyer's-gateway, B,r mondsey, their attention was arrested by Bering a female approach the first floor window of a„Attege, and throw herself out. She was in a state oty at the time, and although the height h orn :4W, she had fallen was considerable, yet, to the nsto nishment of every person, she sustained no material injury. The fact of her jumping out under such circumstances induced a belief that she did it in order to escape the fury of her husband; but it turned out otherwise, for upon a pol;cetnan enterin g; the room from whence she precipitated her-elf, } in found no person there, but saw the corpse of an infant lying on the bed, from which it appeared Brennan, the woman alluded to, had just risen. The body of the child was still warm, and in ronst-quence of the suspicious nature of the circumstances altogether, Brennan was detained in custody arid brought to this office. When before the magis tra.e, in accounting for the facts above mentioned, Brennan said that she had been drinking to excess on Easter Monday, and that she went to bed in a state of intoxication. Her child was in bed at the time, and having soon fallen asleep, during that pe riod she had unfortunately lain upon the infant and smothered it, for when she awoke she found it lying dead by her side. The fright had such an effect upon her, that she threw up the window of her room, with the intention of dashing, herself to pieces,, Mr. CHAMBERS Said that the death of the tint was attributable to the mother lying in the same bed while in a state of intox:cation. 'e should not discharge Brennan at present, until further inq•riries were made into the affair. Two persons proved that she was intoxicated during the whole of Monday. (No. 12,361 .)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MANSION-HO USE.

Richardson and Harris, of Upper Thames street, from the tea-warehouses of the East India Company in Fenchurch-street. The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. Stratford-upon-Avon, Monday Night, April 23. In consequence of the expressed wishes of many If the most influential members of the Royal Shakspearean Club, now consisting of upwards of 400 members, including the most distinguished lite rary and dramatic personages of the day, the Com mittee determined on holding a public festive meet 'rig, in honour of the natal day of Shakspeare, and the banquet was every way worthy of the occasion. At five o'clock, in the spacious room, Shakspeare Hall, there was a very numerous and highly respectable company. The place of assembly was most tastefully illuminated, and decorated with lamps, festoons of laurel, and evergreens. At the upper end of the room, over the full-length portrait of Shakspeare, was a piece of drapery, with the words, " We shell ne'er look upon his like again ;" and, d;rectly opposite, over the celebrated painting of Garrick, by Gainsborough, was a large scroll, on •which was inscribed, " He suited the acton to the word." Around the walls of the hall were dis c:ayed numerous banners, bearing . the names of Shakspeare's plays, together with various allegorical Transparencies, and emblematical and appropriate devices. By order of the Board, R. BY HAM, Secretary On Saturday last, a watchman named Thomas Flynn, who attended to charge a young woman with behaving disorderly in St. Paul's-church-yard, was ordered to take her place at the bar, while she be came the complainant, Mr. Alderman COPELAND feel ing much indignation on hearing her statement of the treatment she had suffered. Her story was, that she was a married woman going home to Stepney, and that upon venturing to doubt whether he had not misdirected her as to her way to \Vhitechapel, h e became petulent and abusive, and because she re commended him to be civil, he sprang his rattle, and had her carried to the watch-house, in an indecent manner, upon a man's back, though she begged to be allowed to walk.

IMPORTANT CAUTION. THE RECUNIBENT CHAIR is the in genious invention of R. DAWS, 17, Mirgaret street, Cavendish-square. The recommendations of it, in many Scientific Works, induced many unprincipled Up holsterers to sell an imitation of it, which, we find, does not afford the same extent of comfort to invalids, or as an or dinary Resting Chair as the original. We, therefore, ad vise the obtaining of it of Robert Daws."—Dr. Reece's Medical Annual, 1831. ROBERT DAW Srespectfully states that no other prin ciple does, or can, admit of half its variation or number of steady positions, comfort, simplicity, strength, or elegance, and he will present one to any respectable person shewing the contrary. The same Chair may be had portable, also with wheels, by which a person can move themselves in a room, garden, or lawn. —May be had on hire. MTO IMPROVE THE COMPLEXION. RS.

Three volumes of Tales, illustrative of the manners and opinions of the early ages,' by the author of ' Brambletye House,' have just been published by COL BURN and BENTLEY. Each of these narratives introduces some important historic event into the usual web of ro mantic fiction. In the first, the scene lies in the Holy Land, at the epoch of the destruction of Jtru sa l em by Tiros, and subsequently shifts to Pompeii. In the next, the progress of Christianity is denoted by the fate of two lovers, one of whom sacrifices his own passion, and the happiness of his mistress, to the austerity of the new faith. The third presents a picture of Germany in the third century, and also of Persia at the same period, under S.tros. The fourth returns to Europe, and brings us to the times of the Council of Nice; and the fifth is laid in Bri tain, after its desertion by the Romans, and when the con quering Saxon auxiliaries of the natives had gained their first victory over the Picts and Scots."...MorningHersrld. (From the .7'pie Mercury.) The differences between the coalowners and their ser vants, we regret to state, still exist. Since we enumerated the collieries at which the men have been been bound, o 0 one, that at Killingworth, has been added to the list There are yet from eight to nine thousand men remainim unemployed. We last week had to announce as a conse quence of so large a body of men continuing in a stated idleness, an outrage committed by a part of them at Soutl Shields Colliery, by which the owners suffered in their property a loss of not less than 2001. We have now t‘ , notice a still more atrocious proceeding. A bound pitman. who did not belong to the union, was shot on S iturday night last at Hetton by some of the unbound men ! The pitmen were under obligation by their bonds to quit the houses they occupied on Thursday, the 19th of April. No having fulfilled this part of their agreement, about twenty families were ejected by a body of London police officers on Saturday. To this no resistance was offered. In the course of the evening the men assembled to a considerable number in front of the cottages thus vacated : large fires were kindled, and guns and pistols were discharged at in tervals. Between eleven and twelve o'clock John Erring ton, a bound pitman, who lived at one end of the houses, in passing from his o fen door to the cottage of two other bound men, was fired at by one of the unbound men, but with out effect. In returning, he was again shot at by same person in the crowd and killed ! Can the pitmen ima gine that they will be suffered thus to set the laws at de fiance, to destroy property, and commit murder ? They firget, they will not understand, that though the pitmen hsve rights the coalowners also have rights. They are a , liberty to offer their labour for sale at what price they please ; but the coalowners are at liberty to buy labour at what price they think fit. The pitmen have no right to say we will sell our labour for this or that sum only, and we will compel you to buy it at that cost. That is to exercise oppression towards the owners. Yet this ap pears to be the object of the pitmen. They declared openly at their meeting, attended by 9,000 men, at the Black Fell, on Saturday, the 14th instant, that they would have the same terms they had last yeer. We repeat, we know that in some instances they have re quired an advance on last year's terms. But were it not so, surely if the coalowner found that by buying labour as be had done lie lost instead of gaining money, he may at the expiration of the bonds refuse to purchase it at the same rate. He is not obliged to ruin himself. Both parties, the pitmen and the coalowners,. are then free! it is for the one to consider whether he shall sell his labour I at the price offered for it : it is for the other to decide whether it is his interest to give the sum demanded for it. But the pitmen appear resolved that the coalowners shall not exercise any such discretion. They destroy machinery at S iuth Shields—they take away life at Hetton—they do all in their power to effect their purpose by intimidation. Those who are not riisposed to accept the terms offered, deter others from accepting them. If they do not choose to do the work at the price proposed, why do they not quietly leave the houses which they engaged to quit rourteen days after the expiration of their bonds, namely, on the 19th of April, and make room for others who are willing to accept the terms? The attempt thus to extort whatever they think fit to demand will no longer avail them. The owners are engaging lead miners, as they have an un doubted right to do, to work their coal; they will he protected, the pitmen will be obliged to give place to them. While it is yet time we call on them seriously to consider the condition to which they are reducing themselves. Fair, reasonable, adequate wages are offered to them. Will they, by rejecting them, compel the coalowners to employ strangers, and thus bring themselves and their families to poverty ? Will they still continue idle, that, goaded on by their disappointments, by their wants and by the prospect of being rendered destitute, houseless wan derers, they may be led into the commission of crime after crime? We sincerely trust, for their own sakes and for the sake of the country, they will not : we hope they will now, while they may, get themselves into decent employ ment, and despise the senseless advice held out to them by their pretended friends to rely upon shadows, to depend on the chance of obtaining a livelihood at collieries yet to be opened in the north or south ! INQUEST AT HETTON. We were anxious to give our readers an account of the Coroner's inquest which is holding this day at Hetton on the body of John Errington, a bound pitman, who was shot by some of the unbound men on Saturday night. For this purpose we sent over a reporter, but the coroner, Mr. T. C. Maynard, refused to allow him to attend, on the ground that the publication of the proceedings was calcu lated to defeat the ends of justice. We regret that this gentleman should have proceeded to any such exercise of authority. We deny his right to exclude the public from his court. If Mr. Maynard had thought proper to ex press to the reporter his wish that nothing should be pub lished calculated to deprive any persons to whom suspicion attached of a fair trial, the request would have received from us the attention it deserved. But by excluding our agent altogether, be deprives us of the means of giving, and the public of receiving, any authentic account of what occurred. Thus circumstanced, all that we have been able to ascertain is, that the inquest was held at the house of Mr. Joseph Elilsborrow, sign of the Board ; that the body of the deceased was found in a gutter by Corporal Ramp lin, that five or six men are in custody charged with the murder, and that the investigation is expected to occupy two or three days. ARLINGTON AND THE CONTRAST.--.;11 C extreme curiosity and eagerness of the public to obtain these two new novels of Lord MULORAYE and Mr. LISTER, which have accidentally appeared almost at the same mo ment, remind us of a similar feeling which was evinced some years since, on occasion of the almost simultaneous publication of Lady CAROLINE LAME'S " Glenarvon," and Sir WALTER SCOTT'S " Antiquary," when the Booksellers and the Public Libraries were beset with applications which they had no means of sufficiently satisfying. BALOON ASCENT.—Mr. GREEN, the cele brated aeronaut, ascended, with a young gentleman, yes terday afternoon, i❑ his balloon, from the Mermaid tavern, Hackney. He took a south westerly direction, and in a few minutes was lost in the clouds. In consequence of the unsettled weather, the assemblage was not lar g e. BURNS'S MONUMENT.—The splendid me morial of Coda's Bard, erected on the Calton Hill, is in a state of great forwardness, and little objection will now be found to its site, except its proximity to the gas works and iron foundry, which have such a darkening effect upon the beautiful masonry, that it becomes quite dingy while under the hands of the workman in proof of which we may mention that the columns in the interior of the building had to be cleaned after they were erected. Twelve lyres, delicately carved, already ornament the outside, which will be surmounted by as many lions' heads; and the in terstices between the windows will be filled up by pillars of first-rate workmanship : when finished it will form one of the most striking ornaments of the modern Athens.— Caledonian Mercury. JUDGE LAW.—In the trial of a gamekeeper for shooting a poacher at the current assizes, the Judge (VAUGHAN) observed:-_" The witnesses were living by poaching ; but they were still entitled to the protection of the laws they were engaged in violating." This a maxim of law not of universal application. Very different has been the language of other Judges. Lord ELDON, far ex ample, who held that in the case of the piracy of " Cain," and other works of Lord BYRON, the author, or his as signee, was entitled to no protection from the law which he had himself violated.—New Monthly Magazine. PROGRESS OF THE CULTIVATION OF THE VINE EN THE CRIMEA.--A traveller who has long re sided in the Crimea, and has visited the greater part of Europe, especially the wine countries, gives it as his Opi nion, that the trade in wine from the Crimea with Ham burg (where he now is) and with England, may in time become very considerable ; the strong wines of the south of the Crimea may be substituted for port and several Spanish wines. The Kokour, a good table wine, peculiar to the Crimea, may likewise meet with an extensive sale. As a proof of the rapid progress of this branch of agricul ture, it is added, that in 1831 the Crimea produced 600.000 vidros (9,600,000 bottles) of wine, and that the whole quantity has been sold. It is expected that this year the produce will be a million of vidros. Even the Tartars begin to cultivate the vine ; the price of land has risen extremely, new roads are opened, the population in creases, and every thing in the country prospers. To give an idea of the improvements in the Crimea, it will suffice to say, that in those parts where traders and others could pass only with oxen or on horseback, a kind of diligence is about to be introduced, and will begin running in the month of June..—Literary Gazette. The usual loyal toasts followed, accompanied by the National Anthem, and popular airs, ably performed by the professional gentlemen present. The " Memory of Shakspeare" was drank in re verential silence, as well as that of Cervantes, who d , ed on the same diy, but one year later than Shakspeare. The " health of the Mayor" was subsequently toasted, and the usual acknowledgments were paid to the distinguished guests present. On returning thanks, several able speeches were delivered ; but the lateness of the hour, and the mail leaving Stratford for London, precludes any detail. The hilarity of the evening was kept up to a late hour. The next Triennial Festival, which it is in tended shall last four days, will, from present appear ances, be on the grandest scale. TO the PEOPLE of BIRMINGHAM, and to the REFORMERS IN ALL THE GREAT TOWNS. Bolt-eoutt, Fleet-street, April 21. FRIENDS,—Be on the alert I Look out sharply; or you will, I am convinced, see all the apprehensions expressed in my Register of this day verified to the fullest extent. The following letter has been sent to me, in consequence of the writer having read, in my Register of this day, that I could not help having my fears that some at least of the Political Unions would nor, upon this occasion, act kv, they ought to do. First read the letter, and the-i hear, if you please, a word or two from me. " London, April 21. " SIR,—I quite agree with you in opinion respecting the Ministers and the Reform Bill ; that they intend to exclude the working people there can be very little doubt ; but you seem to think that the ' Unions' may take part with the Ministers; this would be very base indeed, yet I am fearful that your opinion is hut too well founded ; for on Wednesday afternoon, while I was in a bookseller's shop, a gentleman came in and said to the bookseller, Well, what think you now? You see the second reading is carried;' to which the bookseller replied 'that he had been so busy that he had not thought about it, but should be glad when the Bill was carried through ;' I joined in and said, that I was sorry to see the remarks of Lord Grey respecting the 101. suffrage, and that I would rather the Bill should be lost, than that the qualification should be raised ; on which the gentleman said, ' Why, I do not know : we ought to take as much as we can get, for it is impossible to get the whole; and you have no idea how difficult it is to keep the people together.' I said that I did not think so; to which he replied, that lie knew how difficult it was; for that he had a great deal to do with them :' and then he said that he came from Birming ham. Now, if one who has so much to do with the working people can submit to the alteration in the 101. qualification, I fear your suspicions are but too well founded, as I said before; yet I hope that your remarks in this day's Register will rouse the people, and defeat all those who would cheat them. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, After the Birmingham gentleman had gone out, the bookseller told my correspondent that the name of that gentleman was Joseph Parkes. Now, if Mr. Parkes do not deny the truth of the statement in this letter, or do not deny that he was the man, then there ends my duty with regard to the matter ; for it being notorious that Mr. Parkes has constant intercourse with several of the Ministers, the con clusion to be drawn from his observations is too evident to need pointing out; and if Mr. Parkes do deny as aforesaid, then I am ready to give him the name of the author, who is a gentleman on whose veracity I most firmly rely, and who will, if called on, certainly repeat his statement to Mr. Parkes's face. WILLIAM COBBETT. ooLwicli.—The Garrison orders yeterday gave notice that a guard of honour is to be in readiness to attend his Majesty, who will, it is expected, be present at the launch of the Vernon frigate, on the 30th instant— a superb yacht, built expressly for the accommodation of her Majesty, will be launched on the same day. The Ver non is pierced for sixty guns ; she is built entirely upon a new construction, and is the largest double-bank frigate ever built i❑ this country. We regret to state that the mortality this week has been very great, no less than six or seven per sons having died of the cholera morbus. At this season of the year we have remarked, that this disease has been very prevalent always in this colony. There is a very strong astringent gum, to be plentifully had here, which it is said is an effectual remedy; but it requires to be skil fully used, as its properties are very powerful ; we do not apprehend, however, that it would be at all difficult to ascertain the proper mode of administering it.— Western Australian. An inquest was held on Monday before Mr. Gera, ' on the body of Mr. ANTIIONY SIIRECK, aged 46, a German of independent property. The deceased had been spending the day with Mr. ORANGE BOROSCOSSI, a rela tive, residing at No. 16, Prince's-street, Hanover square. He appeared in his usual good health and spirits till towards the evening, when he suddenly became depressed, and complained of a slight pain across the chest, which, however, at that time, did not assume an alarming charac ter. He took leave of his friend shortly after supper, for the purpose of returning to his residence in Queen-street, Golden -square. He had not, however, been gone many minutes before Mr. Bososcossr, who was undressing him self in his bedchamber, was alarmed by a succession of loud knocks at the door, and he hastened down stairs to ascer tain the cause, when, upon his opening the door, the de ceased rushed into the passage, exclaiming, " Oh, my dear Boaoscossr, I'm dying !" and immediately sank senseless in his arms. Medical assistance was called in, but the deceased was a corpse before it arrived. The jury having beard the above statement, returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." Mr. Deputy Hicks waited upon Mr. Alderman Lucas yesterday, and stated that it appeared by the report of this case in the Times, that Mr. Alderman Copeland had suspended the watchman, recom mended the young woman to indict hint, and had ordered the minutes to be enclosed to the Common Councilmen, that the man might be discharged. He begged to state, that the Common Council had in quired into the man's conduct, and were of opinion that he had done his duty efficiently and properly, and he was sorry to hear Mr. Alderman Copeland was at Newmarket, and could not examine the gentle men now in attendance, to prove the falsehood of the woman's story. She had sworn the affair occupi>d but two minutes. Mr. Hoppe, of St. Paul's church yard, would prove the altercation continued nearly half an hour, and Mr. Thompson, a Common Councilman of another ward, who was aroused from his sleep by the uproar, said he should have dis charged the watchman, not for taking her to the watchhouse so soon, but for not doing it before. She had sworn she was carried indecently on a watch man's back. Now the truth was, that on refusing to walk, and lying down on the pavement, she was carried away by tour men, two at her head and two at her feet, holding her clothes down. It was the opinion of those who saw her at the Compter that she was drunk, and she was in an outrageous state there for above an hour. He hoped the Alderman would hear the witnesses, lest the character of the ward authorities should suffer in the public opinion. Mr. Teague, the governor of the Compter, spoke as to the violence of the woman's conduct in the prison. The minutes of her statement having been read, Mr. Thompson, of St. Paul's Church-yard, said that she was a perfect virago. He never heard such a row in his life, and, after looking through his window some minutes,•he opened it, and ordered the watchman to do his duty. She was immediately taken away. Frisby, a private watchman, corroborated Mr. Hicks's statement. Mr. Hoppe was about to speak, but Mr. Alder man LUCAS said he had heard enough to satisfy him the watchman did not deserve the blame he had suffered, and he would mention the facts he had heard to Mr. Alderman Copeland at the first oppor tuni!y. A boy, named Florence Donovan, was charged with rending a number of th e P oor 211; n' a Guardian, in Newgate-street, on Monday afternoon. Mr. Alderman LUCAS committed the prisoner for the full term of three months. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Yesterday a tashionably-attired e, ell-looking young female was brought before Mr. CONANT, the sitting magistrate, and charged with having attempted to commit suicide. A police constable of the C divi sion stated, that at about two o'clock that morning he was called into a house (a common brothel, in Whitcombe-street, Pall-mall), and upon proceeding to an upper room he found the young woman sitting upon a bed in a very dejected state of mind. A Frenchman was in the room with her. Upon inquiring for what purpose his attendance there had been required, he was informed, that the female and the Frenchman entered the house at about one o'clock. The female got into bed, and while her companion was undressing him self, the light went out. In about five rrunutei afterwards he heard an extraordinary noise as if proceeding from the throat of a person dying. He gave an alarm, and upon lights being brought into the room, the unhappy woman was found sus pended by the neck from the roof of the bed stead. She was instantly cut down, and with great difficulty recovered from her death-like insensi bility. When called upon by Mr. CONANT to ex plain why she bad committed so rash an act, the young woman stated that melancholy and despair had driven her to it ; she had had the misfortune to lose a very considerable sum of money, in conse quence of which she was reduced to the necessity of obtaining a wretched subsistence in a manner loathsome to her feelings. Mr. CONANT, in a kind feeling manner, pointed out to her the heniousness of the act she had con templated. The young woman burst into tears, said the Ma gistrate had fully convinced her of the sin of self destruction, and declared that she would never again make any attempt to deprive herself of life. Upon ►his promise Mr. CONANT ordered her to be dis charged. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday Wm. 'Tomlinson, alias Jerry Abershatv (his nickname among the cabs), the driver of cabrio let No. 963, and who was employed by Robert Bennett, of John -street, Tottenham-court-road, was charged by the policeman D 32, with running a race against another cab, whose number he could not take, and whose driver had thus escaped. Mr. RAWLINSON fined the prisoner in the penalty of .51., and, in default of payment, to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Tomlinson, alias Jerry Abershaw, was then com mitted to the House of Correction. QUEEN-S Q UARE. Yesterday James Acres, a master chimney sweeper, of No. 5, Gilbert -street, Bloomsbury, was charged with furiously driving a one-horse cart, and killing a mare belonging to Captain Saunders, of the Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich. The defendant was fined 10s., and his address was given to Captain Saunders, in order that he might proceed against him for the damage in any way he might think proper. John Lunipus, the youth who was charged with presenting a check for 2501. purporting to be signed by Mr. Byng, M. P., at the Bulking-house of Messrs. Drummond, at Charing-cross, and which was detected at the time to be a forgery, was brought up for further examination. The prisoner, it will be recollected, said that the check was given to him by a gentleman in St. James's-park to get cashed, and he would wait for it at Buckingham -gate. The solicitor for Messrs. Drummond said, that on account of the youth of the prisoner it was not the intention of his clients to proceed further. The prisoner was consequently discharged, and left the office with his relations. UNION HALL. A woman named Brennan was brought up in custody on the following charge :—On Monday - - went to live at Nottingham, where he purchased from a Mr. Truswell a hackney-coach and a livery.- stable business. Fur this he paid down, at the time the purchase was made, 350/. and subsequently paid 60/. our of the remaining balance of 701. At the time of going to Nottingham his capital amounted to 450/. His stock in trade consisted of six gigs, t.co flys, a hearse, numerous sets of double ands ogle harness, &c. While residing in Nottingham, young lady, named Louisa, whom he hail enticed from her home in London*, resided with him as his wife. He was sorry to say that such was the fact. On the 28th of January, in the present year, while Louisa Has still living with him, he went, without her knowledge, to Ashby •de-la-Zouch, and w- s mars tied to another young woman, with whom he after. wards repaired to a village within a mile of Notting ham. Insolvent did not enter the town, because lie . was afraid of being arrested at the suit of Messrs, Stones and Harvey. Feb. 4, he found that Louisa had become acquainted with his marriage, and Lad hastily fled from Nottingham. On the same day insolvent sold his business and stock in trade to a person named William Stagg, the brother of George Snap, his groom, for 80/. abandoned his wife, and went off in pursuit of the fugitive. His furniture, in two small rooms, he gave to George Stagg, as a remtv neration fur his services. If the stock had been fairly and openly sold, it would, he admitted, in all proba-, bilty, have fetched from 21;0/. to 3001. George . , his groom, accompanied him 4.n his journey. They went first to Leicester, and from thence to Nortit.-: ampton, St. Alban's, and Wendover, at the latter of which places they met with Louisa. On his return he discharged his servant at Northampton, and pro ceeded to Birmingham, where, on the 11th of Feb., lie and Louisa took up their abode at the Crown and Cushion, in Can's-lane. Insolvent had then about 40/. left, having expended the other moiety of the money received from Stagg in his journey. With this he proposed to commence business as a horse-dealer Ire accordingly bought some of 'Mr. Beardsworth, for one of which he gave 201., and for the other he was to have paid 30/., but only paid 20/. on account. He took the first horse to Mr. Greig's stable, in Bradford-street, and subsequently exchanged it for a mare. In the course of a few days he was arrested, when he had not more than a sovereign in the world. His retreat was discovered by his wife, and Louisa again escaped to London. While in the cus tody of Badham, the Sheriff's officer, a man, named Sykes, whom he had previously known at Nottingham, and who was in Mr. Beards. worth's employ) called upon him for the purpose of purchasing the mare. He asked him 25/. for it, but ultimately, being in want of money, agreed to sell it for 13/. The money was paid to his wife. On the 18th of February he wrote to Messrs. Stone and Harvey, offering to make over to them, for the benefit of his creditors, a reversionary interest under his grandfather's will, which he should enjoy, con jointly with his sister, on the death of his mother. He likewise offered 150/., a debt owing to him by his mother. On inquiry, however, it apptared, that the debt due from his mother, being contracted in the absence and without the consent of his father, could not be legally recovered; and the rever sionary interest be possessed, under a deed of gift, depended upon contingencies, which rendered its en joyment by the insolvent extremely problematical. In answer to a qtleation from Mr. CaustP,jon., who conducted the insolvent's case, he stated that during the time he was at ;Nottingham he kept a lacmg mare, by which he lost. His profits in business might have averaged 400/. a year; and if Messrs. Stone and Harvey would have consented to take 51. per month, which he offered to them, he would have been fully able to extricate himself from his em barrassments. Mr. JONES, on behalf of the creditors, prayed that the Court would adjourn the insolvent until next Circuit, that he might amend his schedule by the setting forth of certain debts said to be owing to him —that G. and W. Stagg and Mrs. Our,ely might be produced as witnesses, and that proper inquiry might be instituted as to the interest of the in solvent under the grandfather's deed of gift. The COMMISSIONER sentenced him to imprison ment for eight calendar months from the date of filing his petition, and to be further imprisoned until he produced a copy of his grandfather's deed of gift. 4 The insolvent is, we believe, as he atmtes, a son a Major. General Ouseley, but long since discarded by his father fur his dissipated and irreclaima 'le courses. In 1830 or 1831, a situation was procured for him in the Police, and having, while so employed, engag,cl the aff, c oons of the daughter of a most respectable jeweller in the Strand, he induced her to elope with him, leaving a wife and child dependent on the charity of strangers fur support. On Saturday HENRY PARKER, aged 19, convicted at the late Warwick assizes for firing at SIMEoII CLAY, gamekeeper to Colonel NEWDIGATE, in a wood nt Chilvers Coton, underwent the sentence of the law on the top of the county gaol. His struggles were short, and his youth excited general commise-ation. Until the arrival of the mail on the morning of his exi-cution, hopes were entertained by his friends that his life would tie spared.— Birmingham Gazette. on D 1 Mondayß E evening, SSl atC A M S i d E d . l — ese x A n n inque stspital, on w as h the eld y of MARGARET COLESON, aged 39. The oeceased was the mother of seven children, and resided in St. Ann's -court, Dean-street, Soho-square. On Sunday last she was at dinner, and she put a piece of meat in her tnoutb, at the same time speaking to one of her children. The meat slipped part of the way down her throat and remained there.
