"Though some, who know mankind, and the various follies, faults, and virtues that are blended in our imperfect natures, may smile with me at this free relation of what I have seen and known, yet I am aware that more will be offended at the liberty I have taken in painting men as they are : and that many, from private connections of party, and family, will dislike meeting such untlattered portraits of their heroes or their relations. Yet this, I fear, must always be the case in any history written impartially by an eye-witness ;—and eye witnesses have been generally allowed to be the properest historians."—(Extract from LORD ORFDRD'6 Postscript.) _ .

Thomas Burrell and Maria Angel were indicted for the wil ful murder of James Thayer, on the 24th of September. The facts of this case have been frequently detailed during the different examinations at Bow-street and at the Coroner's In quest. The prisoners, when :alled apon for their defence, protested their innocence ; but no witnesses were examined either to fact or character. The Jury found a verdict of Not Guilty, as respected Maria Angel ; and found Burrell Guilty of Manslaughter. FATAL FIGHT. -On Wednesday last, two workmen, named Anthony Tones and George Marchant, belonging to the Swindon quarries, having had some dispute, proceeded to blows, and after 20 minutes hard fighting, the latter struck the former a blow which felled him to the ground ; and either from this blow, or the effects of the fall, he expired on the spot. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body and brought in a verdict of " Manslaughter." Marchant was, in conse quence, committed by Mr. Clare, the Coroner, to MarlbOrough prison, to take his trial at the Assizes.—(Bath Herald.) MR. EDITOR—My principal business with your correspondent Y.Y. (seu X.Q.Z. liberties audit) was to notice his ignorance of the principles of blazoning. This imputed ignorance Y.Y. denies; but on referring to his [printed] communication, I confess I still see enough to excuse me in draw ing such a conclusion. The reviewer accuses the novelist of the false heraldry of putting colour on colour, in placing an azure charge on a sable field ; X.X. denies this charge, on the ground that sable is not a colour, btit a fur.— Then comes Y.Y. and tells us that "Ivanhoe is essentially correct." Now, if Y.Y. understood the meaning of the phrase " colour upon colour," and believed sable to be a colour (as there is no controversy about azure) it is difficult to conceive how he could draw any other inference than that Ivanhoe was essentially wrong. But Y.Y. goes on to define the phrase : " ' Colour 'on colour,' (says he) means a charge or ordinary of the same colour as the field, and not of a different one." Now, I am accused of understanding this too literally. I had to learn that a definition could be understood too literally. lam unable togive this definition more than one interpretation ; and were I in any doubt, it would certainly be re moved by what follows. " Lord MARMON (says YY.) very properly bore—azure, a falcon volant sable." Very improperly, surely, if YY. un derstood the phrase, and sable be a colour; but perhaps, YY's. (MS) would clear up these diffi- 1 culties. Your Correspondent might have spared his multifarious examples, they only prove that fur may be placed on fur, a position which I have never seen denied, even in those treatises which most distinctly condemn the practice of placing colour on colour and metal on metal. At the same time, it must be admitted, that if sable be not a fur, this practice is of the rarest occurrence. But the question is not whether sable be reputed a colour, but, whether it actually be so ; 1 never denied the former ; and, in consequence of this reputation, sable may often have been combined with fur, even should YY.'s rule be true. For a similar reason, this tincture may have been honoured with a place among the jewels and planets of Blazonry ; a mode of blazoning by the way, pretty generally scouted by modern heralds. But, as one instance in point is better than six teen that prove nothing, I shall submit to 17 Y.'s consideration the arms of the family of WRAY, viz. Sable—three hatchets argent, handed gales ; which if sable be a colour, is about as "correct" a blazon as Ivanhoe's. To this it may be added, that the ancient arms of France have been blazoned by old heralds, Vert three toads, sable. Nor does GuiLum deny the fact, although, according to the com mon opinion, he denominates it false heraldry. All, therefore, that I state, as matter of opi nion, is this ; that the sable, as well as the ermine, was a fur, called, like the latter, from the animal whose skin it represented : and the reasonings of YY. do not deny this. My opi nion is confirmed by the fact, that white, the other opake colour, is still considered in the folding of mantles as a fur, being (according to Gumum) that of the lituit. But the object of my last letter was not to prove this opinion, but to demonstrate the incompetency of its adversary. For the blazon of the coat of armour of AMEIDES I refer YY. to the beginning of the 11th book of that knightly romaunt, Pursuirant am, Sir, your's &c. Cambridge House, Fob. 21. TA la IIYBIUS. * Unfortunately for YV. this would not be false heraldry. Such a bearing is called by heralds u MBRATED. The Ist battalion of the 3d Guards will march from Chatham for the Tower, ta-morrow (Satur day.) The 2d battalion of the Coldstream C uards will march into Chatham barracks on Monday next.—( Kentish Gazette, Feb. 22.) It is reported that the Barracks at Albany, in the Isle of Wight, from the want of repairs, and in consequence of the great sums of money that must be expended on them, will be sold, and the troops removed to other more convenient guar- The stupendous works which have, for a number of years, been carrying on at Sheerness, for the improvement of the Dock-yard, though very far from being completed, have arrived at a great degree of forwardness ; the basin, which will be capable of containing a dozen line of battle ships, and three new docks, also for first-rate ships, are nearly completed, and the masons nearly all discharged; the work around the docks, and the building of storehouses, &c. will necessarily occu py some years to come. A long stone wall of several hundred feet, running collateral with the town pier, and projecting into the Medway, forms an extensive wharf for landing and shipping goods. The work was originally begun under the plans of the late General BENTHAM, Governor Engi neer, and since then those of the late J. RENNIE, Esq., and when completed Sheerness Yard will be the finest in the kingdom. It is expected that by the month of May next one of the docks will be ready for receiving a ship, when the Howe of 120 guns, launched from Chatham about six years ago, and since then lying in Sheerness harbour, is to go in to undergo a thorough re pair, for although this fine ship has not been out of the River, there is scarcely a sound piece of timber in her, she is so infected with the dry [fill E TIMES.] Lord Althorp's proposition on Thursday night was to this effect :—" That Ministers had not " done all they might in the way of retrench " ment." Now we should certainly have been surprised, and so may others, for the first mo ment, on seeing so many Members opposed to such a truth. But it must be recollected, that the carrying this resolution through the House in the affirmative, would have been equivalent to a vote of censure on those who at so distressing a crisis had not done all in their power to relieve the suffering farmers. The resolution,therefore, though not eluded by the previous question, was still shifted aside by the substitution of other re solutions, which did not distinctly meet that of Lord Althorp. The first of those propositions was to this effect :—" Tbat there was (or was to " be) an excess of revenue over expenditure to " the amount of five millions." This might be consolatory, if we had never heard the same thing declared before. The assertion is now pretty much like that of the antiquated virgin, who asserted that she was only 30. 44 I must be lieve you now," was the reply," for you havenever " deviated from the tale for the last ten years." The second proposition of Mr. Robinson stated the quantum of relief afforded, or promised to be afforded, by the present measures or Ministers. But neither one proposition nor the other called upon the House to say that enough had been done in the way of reduction : it is clear, there fore, that Members might vote for both these propositions, and yet very consistently urge fur ther retrenchment, while the estimates are in transitu. And this we still hope will be done to' a considerable extent. It has never, in direct contradiction to Lord Althorp's resolution, been declared that enough had been done in the way of retrenchment. That would have been a blond chilling resolution indeed.—The case of Edward Finch Hatton, a youth with as many superanuua tions and pensions of retirement as names, was somewhat curious, as exposed last night in the House of Commons. His friends, no doubt, afford their independent support to Government. palpable delusions ever entertained ; and the great wonder is, how, from the time of the first publication of that plan down to that of the ap pearance of Professor Hamilton's Book, no one in this " thinking nation," as we term ourselves, had sense or discernment enough to perceive and expose its absurdity. The idea of accumu lating at compound interest in any other sense than by the reduction of debt, that is, by the application of a surplus revenue to that purpose, is so manifestly absurd, that it is astonishing how it ever could have been enter tained ; and the secondary use of a factitious Sink ' Fund, namely, that of k ee pi ng u p th e pr i c e of Stocks, was as much a piece of delusion as all the rest, the only thing real in the whole having been a considerable addition to, instead of dimi nution from, our debt, produced by this notable piece of machinery. It may not be altogether use less to allude occasionally to this plan, as an ex emplification of Ministerial weakness and popu lar credulity ; but we humbly think that the time which is now devoted to this exploded non sense might, in general, be employed to much. better purpose in exposing the gross delusions which an examination of the public accounts and papers will show that the present Ministers are now practising. [MORNING HERALD.] Upon the Chancellor's proposition, and at cording to the statement, an annual saving, to the amount of 1,240000/. will be effected ; but, on the other hand, the sum of 7,750,0001. will be added to the principal of the present National Debt. Now taking the sum of 1,240000/. at six years' purchase, it amounts to the sum of 7,440,000/. which about equals the additions made to the prin cipal of the national debt. The gain to the country, therefore, will not take effect until after the expi ration of six years ; inasmuch as the million and a quarter annually saved by this operation will not pay the addition made to the principal of the na tional debt within a shorter period. We shall revert to this subject, and we request our readers to bear these calculations in mind, as we mean to point out a most flagrant piece of injustice which the proposition of Mr. Vausittart involves. [BRITISH PRESS.] We cannot avoid thinking that the proposed ad vantages of the scheme are estimated too highly by his Majesty's Ministers. Should the plan be adopted on the terms proposed, it must be attend ed with a considerable enlargement in the capital of the unredeemed debt. The Four per cents. rose yesterday after the plan was known on the Exchange to 98. At this rate, therefore, we may presume the capital to be transferred from the Navy Fives will be invested in the new Stock at Four per Cent., and thus will give to every holder something more than 1071. in the new Stock or a bonus exceeding 7 per cent. In this proportion the operation will enlarge the actual amount of redeemable debt. If our view of this matter, and our calculations be correct, the increase in " the capital will be very little short of ten millions. The presumed saving in the interest is estimated at 1,134,6401. but the calculation is, in our opinion, founded upon a fallacy. If the increase in the capital of the debt amounts to 10,000,0001. as we suppose, the sum of 400,0001. a year will be required for in terest alone, independent of the other incidental expences of management, &c. This will re duce the estimated annual saving in interest to 734,6401. The new stock is not to be redeemed within seven years ; but nearly fourteen years must elapse before the estimated annual savings will equal the instant increase pro duced in the capital of the debt by the proposed .arrangement. Whether such a mode of proceeding is likely to be attended with any ultimate advantage to the country, we must leave to the judgment of the country to determine. Our calculations may probibly be erroneous, bu( it has always appeared to us that the simplest and safest mode of effecting the reduction of the Navy Five per Cents was, to direct against them the exclusive operation of the Sinking Fund, omitting to touch the other Stocks until the Five per Cents. were wholly paid off. [NEW TIMES.] The communication of the Government Plan for redeeming the Five per Cents. was yesterday made by Lord Liverpool and Mr. Vansittart to the Deputation who waited on them from the City. The particulars of that communica tion will be found in another column. It is not for us to offer an opinion on it. We are in possession of no other documents than those which are open to the public, and on which the monied interest will form its own judgment.— Business to an immense amount was done yester day in the Three per Cents. and in the Five's ; but more particularly in the latter, the opening price of which was 1041. They first rose to and then suddenly declined t• 1031 ; on the re turn of the Deputation to the City, they rose again to 104,1 and subsequently declined, and finally closed at 1031. We freely confess that we have no distinct idea of the causes which pro duced these alternate elevations and depressions. Consols rather improved. The opening price for the Account was 7Sir s -, and the closing price 78. [MORNING POST.] The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice last night in the House of Commons, that on Monday next he should unfold to the House the whole nature of his plan for reducing the Five per Cents. He then proposed to go into a Com mittee of Supply to vote the sums necessary for the support of the Navy. But Mr. Hume, ‘I ith his usual consideration for the progress of public business, declared that " it was his intention to prevent the House from going into a Committee at all," and very nearly kept his word, for he made a speech so long, so rambling, so obscure, and withall so full of mistatements, that it took Mr. Croker and the House no inconsiderable time, the one to expose, and the other to laugh at his blunders. If ever the man of figures was lost among his own numbers, it was last night. Among other trifles he swelled to seventeen mil lions some five or six millions which have been expended on the Navy in late years. And yet this is the individual who is always railing at the inaccuracies of others ! The castigation which he received from the Secretary to the Admiralty was severe but well merited. It might reduce wiser men to silence. but fortunately for the amusement of the House, Mr. Hume possesses an intrepidity of tongue which banes all expo sure. On Monday, we have no donbt, he will re sume his arithmetical round with as mach energy and precision as ever ; and those who neither see nor hear this wonderful calculator, believe him the greatest man of the age, and will endea vour to associate themselves to his immortality, by voting him silver tankards and gold boxes.— Notwithstanding his opposition last night, the House went into the Committee, and some busi ness was even done in it, which certainly cannot in justice be laid to his charge. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday an Inquisi,. tion was taken at the Swan tavern, Kennington Common, before CHARLES JEMMETT, Esq. Coro ner for Surrey, on the body of Mrs. Lancashire, wife of J. Lancashire, Esq. of Stockwell, who. came by her death in the following melancholy manner :—lt appeared from the evidence of Captain Prouse, of Wellington-street, that on. Tuesday last, about three o'clock, the deceased and .Mr. Lancashire were coming to town in a gig, and, when near Kennington turnpike, the animal bolted with the chaise, which coming in contact with a cart heavily laden with old build ing materials, was overturned with great violence, and nearly dashed to pieces , on the spot. The deceased was pitched against the wheels of the cart, by which her skull was fractured, and she died almost immediately : her husband had both his arms broken, and received so many wounds, that we regret to say his death is hourly ex pected ; and a Gentleman on horseback, w•thu tried to stop the animal, was thrown from his saddle and nearly killed.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," and levied a deodand of 51. upon Dr. Owen's horse.
