511 I P NEWS. RUSSIAN LIGHT-HOUSE•. (TRANSLATION.) tt baying been found that ships, 130'1'0 from Narva to Revel, for the most .Part, direct their course between the Islands of itodSehrer and "Stenscher, so that the Light-lionse, erected in 1815, ou Cap * e Lativnem, is. of little service ; consideringalp the impediments to navigation 'from the dangerous shoals situated at the extremity of lloglane and .that the Upper Light-house, on that Island, -is in autumn frequently-visited by fogs, which render the Light-house invisible : llis Imperial Majesty's Government has resolv edr-to remove the Light-house from Cape Lati *oeneu: to the Island of , Rodscher, situated -- English miles to the westward, of Ilogland (in the original, the expression used is nine Italian miles). The -light on this Light-house will he six feet above the surface of the water, and in imitation of that on Lativoenem, will open and shut sitc cessivelrat intervals of three-quarters of a mi nute, by which Means_ it will be sufficiently dis tinguished from all.others in the vicinty of Hog land.--The new Light-house will be used 'for the first - time on the ISt September, Old Style.

We must observe, however, that our Countryman gave his name to the world at large, but that the subse quent statement is anonymous.-- . _ " A letter Early appeared in the public . Prints front Mr. Oxßpatty,-ot Drury-lane Theatre, to M. TALMA, remonstrating with the latter upon his conduct towards an English Company perform ing at Valenciennes. The circumstances which gave tise to this letter are accurately these TaLma arrived, some time since, at Valenciennes, in consequence of a previous engagement to per form at the theatre of that city. The Manager immediately waited upon him, and inqaired when it might be convenient for him to give a'represen tation, and it was proposed that M. TALMA should commence the following evening. in the course of this conversation with the Manager he was in formed there was an English Company in the town ; at which he expressed great pleasure, to gether with a desire that his performance might not interfere Ivith theirs. The Manager replied, that the French and English Companies played alternately, and that M. TALMA'S night could not interfere with theirs. A bill was accordingly put up, announcing M. TALMA'S appearance on the following night. No remonstrance was made on the occasion by the English Company ; and M. TALMA remained entirely ignorant of the night of his representation having been" fixed upon for the benefit of a Lady of that Company, until three days afterwards he was informed thereof by the letter in question from Mr. OXBERRY. M. TALMA, instead of replying to a letter, crouched, it must be allowed, in very unbeconzing terms, contented him self with .expressing his regret to the English Manager. .at his having been the innocent cause of an injury sustained by a Lady of his Company, assuring hint that nothing could be further from his intention, it being his constant desire to spew every attention in his- power to the English in general, from whom he had recently met so kind .a reception in their country, but to those of his profession in particular." THE ARTS.—The grand Picture on 11 , bich \VEST has long been employed, the subject de rived from The REVELATIONS, iS now receiving the last touches from the venerable Artist. In order to judge of the general effect, it has been placed in the Great Room of the Royal Academy, where the Artist daily attends to complete this vast production of his masterly pencil. The effect on the spectator is of the most awful and impressive nature, and the - whole is characterised by terrific sublimity. Monday next, being Michaelmas-dav, accord ing to annual custom, the LORD MAN'OR and the Sheriffs will go in state from the Mansion-house to Guildhall, where a Common Hall will be held for the election of Lord Atiior for the year en suing. FOR THE SUN. • AIR. EDITOR;—Your Paper on Monday last contained smile remarks on The Anti-Gallivan Monitor of Sunday, and therefore I rely on yonr candour to insett a few words before the next publication of that Paper. The Conductor ac cused Lord SIDMOUTH of having ill-treated and neglected Coßaarr. If Lord SIUMCIUTH hall ever ally thing to do with COtBETT, it is much to the, credit of that Noble Man's discernment and digni fied feelings, that when he was at the Bead of Affairs, .he did not think" it necessary to support the measures of his Administration by the efforts of such a coarse, vul ga r, an d marketable writer as COEBET.T. But it is ge nerally understood that CORBETT, ,finding it more to his interest, the only consicktatidn with him, t 0 .," pander to the bad Passions" of the multitude, than to receive any patronage from Government, after having tried " The CROVIN and the MITRE," for a short time, was tired of loyalty and moderate profits, and therefore boldly and without shame, becaMe a republican Draw corszsir. That Ministers too often act upon the maxim of CHARLES THE SECOND, in neglecting their friends because they at:e sure of them„.and rewarding•thefr . enemies, to silence their hostility; must be admitted ; but a Minister who could re ject the rude, violent, and unprincipled support , of such a man as COBBETV, deserves to be ho noured for h'is penetration anal his independent spirit, rather than to ,be accused of ill-treating and neglecting merit employed in a laudable sup port of Government.

NVe have to relate - one of those dreadful in stances of desperate depravity Which reflect dim grace, not merely on the age, but on human nature itself. Yesterday, about - one .o'clock at noon, a Weidman, named David Owen, a caw keeper, came to town from Edmonton, and pro ceeded to the house of . one Jones, his brother in-law, who is also a cow-keeper, resident in Gibraltar-row, Prospect-place, St.. George's-a fields. After knocking at the door he was ad mitted to the room on the ground floor, where Jones, with Isis wife and maid-servant, was at din , tier. After sitting for a few minutes, lie started up, and with two knives-(with which lie bad provid ed himself before his visit), he rushed to the exe cution of his execrable purpoq. He first attacked the man Jones, whom he wounded dieadfully in the belly and the , head, so as for some seconds to deprive him of,ease and .notion. lie then flew at Mrs. Jones; his own sister, end inflicted neon' her several shocking wounds : he stabbed her the forehead, cut her severely though not danger ously between two of her ribs, and having thrust his knife in her mouth, drew it clean through the (lira to the ear, lacerating her tongue, and laying' the cheek completely open. The ruffian last struck at the servant girl, whom he seriously cut in the face and one tat her hands, besides dividing the Main artery of her ,arm,_ The poor wretches, though faint andalmost insensible with terror and loss of blood, contrived to make their way into the street, where '.they were immediately observed by their neighbours, and Were carried into the ad joining Louses till Medical assistance could be procured.. In the mean time the assassin had 'fastened the door of jones's house, and with loud imprecations threatened to destroy any persim . who should dare to approach him. This thieat, together with the impression of the horrible scene before then's, and the circumstance of Owen (who is 'a remarkably large and powerful titan) being armed with two knives, completely deterred the multitude, though soon consisting of 'litany hun dreds, from attempting to enter the house. Police ()Beers were scut for, and on their arrival, and after the interval of nedrly an hour, it was determined .to break into the house and seize the desperate villain. For this purpose a great number of per , . sons at med With - pokers and crow-bars, some with ladders at the windows, and some on the grouts', made a simultaneous attack on the house, end bursting it open above and below, rushed in. with greet force. They found Owen on the first landing place, standing with an air of defiance, and whetting his knives one upon the other, as if for the purpose of rendering them more effec tually niurderous One of the officers, however, without a moment's delay, struck him a violent blow with a crow-bar on the head ; which knocled off his hat and staggered him ; and another instantly took advantage of his tottering, seized one of his legs, and threw' him on the ground. Still the ruffian was able to resist, whieh he. did . so obsti nately, that' the officers were compelled to beat and even wound him severely about the face and body, before he, was subdued to a state of ae- Ttiescence ; they then put him into a .hackney coach, and conveyed him to the prison in‘llorse monger-lane, thousands of the multitude attending the conch, and with arms of various kinds,. in order to - prevent the possibility of'bis escape. While this was goinmt ° on, surgical aid had been procured for the wounded, and the result of the examination made by Mr. Dixon, surgeon, of Newington, was, that he considered the husband likely to die, the wife drealltully though not mortally wounded, and the girl, though very seriously ,hurt, likely to recover. The man and time servant were, at the recommeri datitin of the surgeon, taken to St. Thomas's Hospital.—Mrs. Jones was carried back to her own house. Our Readers will naturally inquire what could have been the rause, however inadequate, of this savage barbarity ? We are not able to answer this question any farther than by staring, that we have been informed ; that about a year ago there wa , s a law -su;t between Owen and Jones resnect ing some property, which Owen conceived to be long to himself, but which Jones claimed in right of his wife. An action was tried, the result of which was favourable to Jones ; and Owen ever since has e%pressed much dissatisfaction, and is supposed therefrom to have conceived that despe . - rate revenge which he yesterday executed. purpose was so malignantly atrocious, that he, at the time of his outrage yesterday, expressed a determination to murder, if be conlol, his own son, a lad who lived with his uncle and aunt, as as sistant in their business, and whom his father ap pears to have hated from no other cause.—For• tunately this youth was not in the house. The parties arc all- Welch ; Jones and his wife are about 40 years of age; the servant girl about 20 ; Owen is between 45 and 50, and is, as we have before stated, a man of remarkably formidable size and strength. -The age of the Son we did not hear.—(llloHting Paper.) The fears entertained for the safety of Mr. C. J.. and Mr. G. G. Whitcburch, both of -this University, (mentioned in one last Journal) are now so fully confirmed, as to leave no doubt in the minds of their afflicted relatives that were shipwrecked on the evening of the 12th of August; the body of a Captain Hohnberg, who.' it seems, was a passenger in the same vessel with them from Guernsey, having been brought into Deal harbour, where it has been interred with . eve ry decent respect.—(Oxford Journal, Sept. 26.) On Thursday a Public Meeting was held at the !George Inn, From, to consider of the expediency of establishing a Savings Bank in that populous town. The M,arquis of BATH, the Earl of CORK, and Mr.'CLIAMPNEYS, of Orchardleigh, attended, and by their patronage and informatio n , gave great effect to the meeting, which was more re spectable titan numerous, and consequently more competent perhaps to give effect to the object in view.—A Committee was appointed, and the re sult most satistactory to the general good. Wednesday evening, about eight o'clock, as William Ansell, upwards of 70 years of age, was driving the Paddington stage coach into the stable-yard of his master, Mr. Morris, at the Yorkshire Stingo, his lad came in contact with the top of the gateway, by which be was so DI Hai, bruised that he died yesterday morning.
