This was confirmed by her mother, who was present at th e marr i age. The prisuner, Ia his defence, admitted the charge of having, married both women ; and said, the cause:of his leaving hi s fi rst w i le was, that he had learnt from good authority, that she had another husband and one of his informers was the witness, Charles Hagley.

CORONER'S NouEsTs.—An Inquest wait held on nursday afternoon at the White Hot - Se, Khights bridge, before ANTHONY: GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, on - the body of George Banks, a car man, in the emplOy of Mr. Cromwell, at Hammer smith. It appeared in evidence, that On the pre ceditig day, whilsr. riding on the shafts of a cart laden with dung, near the Bell and Flbrses, Bramp ton_, he, fell off, and th e , w h ee l s pass i ng over h i m, he was killed.

It appeared icy evidencethat she had taken a quantity of lat4la [Mtn on Tuesday evening, at her residence in Plough -court, Vetter-lane.

Yesterday at two o'clock, there was another meet ing of the Sob,cribers to the Opera, at the Tha:th cd-Honse Tavern, in St. Jartv_ti`s-vreet, to take into their consideration the !term of the Committee re htive to the prominent. concerns of that establish- Went. .0 • When abut forty Noblemen and Gentlemen had assembled,- Earl Ge)wer moll sly called to the Chair. On being waled, his Lord-hip in- • formed the Meeting of the general outline of their duties; and on.recurring to the letter which he had received, as Chairman, from Mr. Taylor, at the last meeting Of the Committee (the reading of which had been deterred), he further informed them, that he had received a second letter from Mr. Taylor, which the writer deemed as more circumstantial, explanatory, and satisfactory than the former letter, and that Mr. Taylor ha 4 requested his Lot dship to substitute the Mcond letter in lieu of the first, which Mr. Taylor desiird might be reurntd. Lord Gower observed, that 'he did not feel 'hiinSelf warranted, as representative of the' Committee, to comply .with Mr. Taylor's desire. When the Noble Chairman was going to de tail the examination of the CoMmittee, in regard to the receipts and4liabursernents of the Opera, Cot. Greville rose to repel the charge which hialotp patently, been circulated against him, as to his beiog an improperperson to sit upon that Committee, inas much as thti report implied, if not declared, that he as an interested past), as he lnid the license of another Theatre in hi, pocket, aid had actually trafficked in the sale of a box at the Opera. To ail these admitted allegatioas.Coloael GreVille made an oleo and direct reply, that qualitie: their tenor, if it did not do them woolly away. When Colonel Greville sat down, Mr..Lancaster (as Secretary, we believe, to the Committee) telid,• audibly and envhatically, the Report of those Noblemen .and Gentlemen who bad been:appointed to examine the accounts of the Opera' House, to ascertain whether there really did exist, or not, any imperious necessity, upon the part of the Ma nager, to enhance the price of Subsctiptioti for a box at the Opera, to so high an amount as he thought fit to demand. -It seemed, agreeably to this statement, that the general receipts of the Opera House were commensurate with tilt; aggre gate expences, and that there did not exist any ne cessity whatever for the reviled advance in the subscription. After this material point had been ascertained, Earl Gower proposed to have Mr. Taylor's Letter' to the Committee publicly read ; and, in duir.g this, he gracefully waved the perusal of the mare offend ing eristle„ and exhibited a delicacy of manner, And' a forbeararce in principle, that were truly indicative of a feeling Gentleman. . As a Gentleman we!aaking notes at this period for Mr. Watels (one of the• Proprietors of the Opera), some Gentleman made a m , )tion, whith was - 6;01)(10, that the short-hand writer shouidne requested to withdraw; buti on the motion being put lion) the. -Chair, Sir Henry Wilson, and some others of the Committee,:. combated the' idea with such liberal resistance, that the attempt was aban doned. A similar Idea was started relative to !host- Gentlemen who taere resent, and - not üb :,oribers ; but this restrittiugedutt wasequally un successful. 4P***.• The substance of 'Mr. Taylor's letter compre- }tended some serious complanits on h!s part. Mr. Taylor dwelt with much force upon his being denied the power to plead his own cause befrle:the Com mittee, and of explaining many circumstances' viva voce, which could not be duly explained by writing :-- - he said, that in denying iiim this pr ivy-, lege, they withheld a right front him to ..then the west of criminals are counted. He verktured some thing like an insinuation moat Colonel Cireville and Mr.: Lancaster were interested in his diseotnbture, and, of course, not proper persons to be members of such a Committee. •He declared that r Colonel (reville had a liceme for a,Theatre in his pocket, and that Mr. Lancaster was-a box-broker; but *we do not take upon ourselves to assert that Mr. Tay lor substantiated these charges. Tire Alanag.:r urged the hardship' of his case in pstlietic terms, and al luded to his 'personal responsibility to those foreign perfOrtners, Whom he. had t:ogtvd to pivgse the public, and who would naturally and properly look towards him for subsistence. The Nob:e Chairman next arose, and submitted a• series ut Resolutions for the adoption of the Com mittee; some of these were carried, nearly ; and some were tacitly oppesed by live or six of the Committee. • That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the, Moats iii which Mr. Taylor made his demand upon the Subscribers, is not less excel)! tonable than the demand itself; and that . it requires a tut ther apo logy. .. That such a proceeding on the prt 01-Mr.Taylor is less excqsable than iLit came hum any other Ma nager ; it appearing that be himself censured, in the strongest teims, the advance tirade io 18.06, by Gould although . that rise in the Subscription was sanctioned by a Committee of Petsons, distinguish ed by their rank and situation, to whoa, exationl don Mr. Gould had voiontarily suloitted hts 'Accounts. That even if a sufficient case had been made out to justify au advance of prim., 'oli dee.iltii iiicittilsed expenditure in the . tuanagetuent, it IA °old not have 13 , :en a tair'inotle of dealing with the Sub. fctibers, to select one.part of the, Opera Houseoalone its chargeable with the whote additional burthea, without some proportionable charge being borne by the oilier parts of the satne Theatre.

WATERFORD, JAN. the numerous and daring outrages by which this country is so often disgraced, and its tranquility invaded, we have to add the following recent instance, the details of which are too well founded to admit of qtiestion , or extenuation le:0 days ago, the R v, E.

At • some distance from the villages, they heard a slot, and distinetly saw the'fissh (on a nearer. .approach, and in exact conformity with,the information which •they ltd received, they encountered the party of Caravats, to the number of not twenty, almost ittunediately atter they had paid their visit to the abeve-Mentioned places, ell of them orihorseback., riding by files With military diseipline, and with, their leader , advancing in their front.

CLONMEL, DEC. 29.—Last Thursday night, at a very late hour, the house of Mr. Win. Harvey, at Coleville, within half a mile of this town„ was at , tacked by ,a number of roffia n s,wh o broke in throno one of the .windows l and comEnined the most wail. lea and excessive ,drepredations., After sansfyi,g themselves here, they proceeded to the part of the dwelling occupied by one Fleming, who had the care of thp ,placp for Mr. Hai tey,. earl summoling him to come forward to a window, they iminediale.. ly fired four, shots at him, but fortunately without doiug him any injury. Fleming instantly returned the lire from a welldoaded pistol, anti shot one of these deluded wretches dead on the spot. , By the immediate flight' of all the• tarvivors, leaving the corpse of . their companion, it i 4 natural toloppose that some paler must have been wound. ed, as in cases of thiTkind the party uniformly en. deavours to carry off the bodies - of the fallen and the likelihood is, that, they removed the crippk i n preference to the cnrpse. The death of this wretched man . is very remarkable. - A very few hours before he 'tell a Sacrifice to his transgression, Mr. Harvey had settled with and paid him off his account for 4ix months' wages, and in Consideration that-tife fellow was the chief support of , his mother and ters, added sixpeire a week to his stipulated ‘vages for the last yeir;' besides which, fie desired him to continue at his labour. • But he had scarcely left his Master and banefaam, when he was enlisted into the.plor-fdr Spoliming his property, and murdering his faithful servant.' Clear. , • ly (this watt his . name) appears to have been armed with a scythe, the upper end of which was routur t A as a handle, and the better to conceAt him4cif 'where he was so well known, his face was compioclv blackened.
