BARON Lima's VISIT TO GREENWICH
BOSPI

The promised visit of this illustrious follower of the
late Emperor of France excited much interest amongst the
Faculty of this country, more particularly those of the
public hospitals, whose mausoleums, it was understood,
formed the loadatone of the Baron's curiosity.
On the 21st nit. the Baron, accompanied br an interest-
ing youth, his son, a Dr. Jones, of Paris, and Mr. Carrie,
the eminent teacher of anatomy, arrived at the Hospital •
and we have reason to believe that the imposing aspect and
splendid execution of that noble building, alike creditable
to our country and to the officers who superintend the dis-
position of its internal affairs, proved a scene no less inte-
resting to the stranger than the more ostensible object of his
visit—to see the practice of an English save hospital.
Mr. Langstaff, the medical officer on duty, conducted the
veteran round the wards, described to him the history and
treatment of the more important and interesting diseases,
as well as other particulara relating to kweine, upon all of
which he commented freely, and offered rainy pertinent
remarks, illustrative of vast experience resulting from his
numerous military campaigns. The party, after a com-
plete survey of the liospital, joined Mr. Langstaff to an
early dinner ; and, previously to his departure, the Baron's
favourite subject, morn, having been- introduced, Mr.
Boyle's book, descriptive of his modification of' that re-
medy, was prellettki to him, on the receipt of which be
expressed much satisfaction, and a determination to com-
pare the English with the French mode of applying this
extraordinarily successful agent in the treatment of chronic
disease. It is somewhat to be regretted that Dr. Batty,
the last medical friend and attendant upon the glorious
Hero of Trafalgar and the Nile, did not happen to meet
the notorious surgeon of the evererestleas intruder upon
Royal rights and European tranquillity.

THE ST. 7• LOTTERY.

Yesterday afternoon, at about a quarter past six o'cloek,
that old, if not highly serviceable servant of the State, the
Lottery, breathed Its last, having ever sinew the days of
Queen Anne contributed largely towards the public re-
venue. This errtnt took place at Coopers' Hall, Basing-
hall-street; and such was the anxiety on the part of the
public to witness this last drawing of the Lottery, that
great numbers of persona were attracted to the spot, inde-
pendently of time who had an interest in the proceedings.
The gallery of Coopers' Ilall was crowded to excess long
before the period fixed for the drawing (Ate o'clock), and
the utmost anxiety was felt by those who had shares in the
Lottery for the arrival of the appointedlour.
In the City, yesterday afternoon, almost the only topic
of conversation was the termination of Lotteries ; but, al-
though that which ended yesterday was the last, if we
ere informed correctly, the Lottery Office-keepers have
been left with a great number of tickets remaining in
their bands—a pretty strong proof that the public in ge•
neral have now no relish for these schemes.

The concourse of persons in Basinghall-street was very
great ; indeed, the street was almost impassable, and every
body seemed desirous of ascertaining the fortunate num-
bers. In the gallery the greatest interest was excited Bathe
various prizes were drawn from the wheel; and as soon as
a number ticket was drawn from the number wheel, every
one looked with anxiety to his share, to learn his fortune.
Only one instance occurred where a prize was drawn, and
the number held by any individual present. The fortunate
person was a little man, who had no sooner heard that
his number was a grand prize, than he buttoned up his
coat, and coolly walked off' without uttering a 'word. Asthe
drawing proceeded, disappointment began to sureeed the
hopes indulged by those who were present. On the entrance
to the Hall, every ruddy face were a Amaral appearance ;
but on the termination of the drawing a strong contrast
was exhibited, and the features of each were strongly
marked with dissatisf2ction.

The drawing commenced shortly after fire o'clock, and
ended at 20 minutes past six.
The doors of the various lottery-offices were also sur-
rounded by persons awaiting the issue of the drawing.

Yesterday was the Grand .Conclusion of all Lotteries in
this Kingdom, when the good Fortune that has attended Bish's
Offices ever since their first establialuncnt (a period of nearly hails
century) was again, as usual, par;icularly enerripiennes. 17,A2°.

SPLENDID FSH ET
IRE, E F THE DUKE OF DEVON-
OAT .

Al o sc 0 w, SETT. 11(2l),1826.
Although three weeks have elapsed since the Coronation, we
are still in the midst of revelry and rejoicing, and fetes and balls
follow ene other in quick succession. There was one given
last night by our Ambassador Extraordinary, the Duke of De-
vonshire, which, for splendour and effete, has surpassed all the
others, and, therefore, 1 shall send you some account of it.
The night was cloudy, and favourable to the advantageous die.
play of the brilliant illumination which lightened up the side and
front of the magnificent bowie where his Grace resides. So great
was the blaze of light, .that the whole of the dark horizon over a
third of Moscow was made visible, and this wail produced without
there being any overabundant quantity of lamps, for there were
none too many, and all harmonized and contributed to the general
effect. Indeed, this was the great merit of the whole of the deco-
rations and ornaments, both inside and out; there was nothing too
much—nothing overcharged ; all was in keeping, if 1 may so speak,
and as it skald be.
?typeset end of the house ran be seen well from the Kremlin,
and ether elevated spots in the city, and this, aceordingly, was the
part the moat illuminated, and the initials of the King of England
were placed in a conspicuous part of the building.
On entering, and mounting the stair, the eye met, above the
fine landing place, a well-executed transparence, with the initial*
of the Emperor and Empress. Then, proceeding onwards, you
found waged, in the ante-room, the upper servants of the Duke,
in their rich state livery of the and gold, and on passing
through them you arrived at the door, from whence stood, In two
inertia lines, all the attaches of the Embassy, leading up to
his race. who, in a splendid uniform, stood there to receive his
guests. The people about him formed rather a striking coop

hollow*, many of them bravely won, while uselmi
courtiers, rhamberiaimi, and senators, glittered iis all the
dazzling pomp which gaudily embroidered cease, with gold and
silver, and ribands and crams, " the cheap rewards of 'Kings,"
could confer. There was Manumit in his Field.Matshal's
uniform. wearing all his well-merited ceders and stars, with
his Staff and A ides-de.Camp, in all the showy variety of the
French uniform; the Prince of Heart Homburg, the Austrian
Ambasezdor Extraordinary, in the uniform of his country. Its
short, the Representatives of all the Crowned Heads of Europe,
with the American Republican Minister, and Me Envoys from
Georgia, Persia, and other countries of East, who, an their
Asiatic costumes, served to complete the variegated and brilliant
assemblage.
About nine o'clock notice was given of the approach of the Im-
perial Family, when his Grace, accompanied by all his suite,
descended to receive them. The Emperor wore a scarlet uniform,
the evening dress of the regiment of Chevaliers Gerdes; the Em-
press (led in by the Doke) a robe of crimson-coloured silk, richly
ornamented with diamonds and pearls. She had a necklace of dia-
monds, with a row across the shoulders, of superior size and beauty.
most of them appearing half an inch in diameter, while strings of
them, of inferior magnitude, were entwined amongst her hair. She
looked extremely well, and, throughout the evening, was all con-
descension and kindness, seeming highly to enjoy the animated
scene. Then came the Grand Duchess, with her husband Michael,
the brother of the Emperor. She was in white, with a great many
gems set in diamonds, and had her usual arch: look, and playful
intelligent snide.
The music now terock up, and the Duke led the Empress in a
polonaise fullowed by the Emperor and all the most distinguished
persons. through the suite of apartmentk into the hall-room.
Dere all WAS arranged with elegance and good taste. This room,
about sixty feet long and fifty in breadth, was lighted up in the
centre by some two or three hundred wax lights, placed in a
single rote, In a circular chandelier covered with roses, and sus- ,
petaled front the lofty ceiling with airy lightness, and almost by
imperceptible means ; while round the aides, and in each corner.
were chandeliers, giving forth a mass of light tkat was reflected
fmm the wells, which were of a white colour, like polished
marble. The eye rested with pleasure on the tastefully simple
ornaments of these walls. On one side were the united initials
of the Emperor and the Empress, formed by wreaths of red roses;
on the opposite wall was traced in roses the letter C, with the
number IV., giving the initials of our own illustrious Sovereign :
anti on the ritual wall. the letters N. and A.. detached. %hewed
the •%eparste initials of the Imperial Visitor'. A wide open
space between columns led into an additional room. A tem-
porary building, of which the sides were covered with a light
.rd-coloured drapery, intermingled with white, tastefully ar.
ranged, and fount:ma of red roses over a white ground, ran
round, and adorned the columns. At the extreme end from the
ball-room, yet distinctly visible from all parts, a recess was formed,
where was placed a full-length portrait of the Emperor, in hi%
imperial robes. painted by Dave, the English artist, and an era
' cellent likeness. The unexpected sight of this picture was
quite a coup eft Theatre. It was known to few that the artist
hail been employed by his Grace, and the Russian nobility were
wholly unprepared for the view of this portrait of their Czar,
the first and the only one they
.could see of him in his imperial
dress. Their surprise and admiration wax unbounded. " Quells
gallxlerie ! vat has gout !" exclaimed the women; Artie the 1
adroit and_ reapereferi -fiseareem exeressed their approbation in ,
mina* audible whiper,. Certainly nothing could have been
better imagined; it was the prettiest compliment that could have
been paid.
Qaairilles and wslues followed. In the former the Empress
danced with the Duke of Devoashire, having for their vis•a-ills
the Grand Duchess and Prince Charles of Prussia. Between
twelve and one O'clock the supper-room was thrown open, a long
and spacious gallery, where upwards of 5011 persons eat down at
once to supper. There were three rows of tables, over which some
thousand tapers shed a brilliant light, betides a separate one in the
form of n crescent, for the Imperial Family, with some of the first
ladles of the Court, and the principal Foreign Ambassadors. This
table was placed on an elevation, a few feet above the level of the
floor, at the end of the gallery, in a kind of alcove, richly and
tastefully hung round with a drapery of vimson and green-coloured
silk*. From her seat, at the centre, the Empress could command a
view of all theoriser tables, with their decorations. and the aunt' bly
dressted persons seated there, in long and beautiful perspective. The
Idl!'t magnificent part of these decorations, assuredly, was the gold
and silver plate belonging to his Grace, which, for massiveness
and beam), is here altogether unrivalled. The Russians were
pereetearly struck with this patrician treasure, as the accumu-
late% wealth of several generations. It is needless to say, that
the vupper was all that could he visited, offering in prnfusion every
thing that could please the eye and tempt the appetite, with all
kinds of wine in unlimited ah.:ndanre. The Emperor himself
tuner sits down to supper, and lie stood near the table of the Em-
press conversing in the most affable and familiar manner with those
about him. The Duke of Devon.hire with his attaches also stood
all the time. -
•

After this splendid entertainment, the dancing recommenced
with fresh spirit, and the Emperor and Empress did not depart
GI three in We morning. The Grand Duke Michael and the
Grand Duchess remained half an hour later. At five o'clock a
second supper, or rather breakfast, was served, even after wnich,
I ertierstand, the unwearied votaries renewed the dance, Prince
(*harks, with his vivacity and amiability being the chief promoter,
and the gay revels did not close till near seven this morning.

APPREHENSION OF A MAN ON HIS OWN CONFES-
SION OF HAVING COMMITTED THE ABOVEI
ATROCIOUS MURDERS.
At one o'clock yesterday, while the sitting Magistrate at Unions
hall police.office was occupied in hearing night charge*, a con.
siderable noise and bustle were heard in the mimes outside; and
upon the Chief Clerk (3lr. Staples) sending onto messenger tom. I
certain the cause, it was then announced that it arose in mine.
quence of the crowd that followed a man hi easterly, on
of having been concerned in the late murder, near Leath
while conveying him through the street,.
The Magistrate, J. S. CALDWELL, Eark divected the individual
who made the self-accusation to be immediately brought forward.
'f he entra,:ce into the slip where all criminals are placed for ex.
amination was thrown open, and the prisoner, who was well
guarded by at least half a dozen constables and wetclimen, who
had conducted him from the watch-house near the Foundling Hos.
pital, was then placed in it. He gave his name John Cartwright.
He was dressed in regimentals, and, from his appearance, seemed
to have just arrived from a tropical climate. He did not evince
the slightest degree of terror OT uneasiness at tieing in custody,
but, on the contrary, his countenance was lit up with a smile not.
withstanding the grave offence which he charged himself with
having perpetrated.
3lr. CAT.DwELL (to the persons who had brought him up in
custody)—What charge have you to prefer against this man ?
A man named Harris stepped forward, and said that the pri-
soner hsd delivered himself up into his custody on the preceding
night. avowing himself the murderer of the old man and woman
on Thursday night last, near Leatherhead.
CALDw ELL (to the witness)—You must give a minute ac-
count of the circumstanca under which you took the prisoner into
custody.
liarris then proceeded to state, that on the preceding night be
went into the tap-room of the Swan public-house, Little Ormond.
street, Queen-square, for the purpose of taking Isis pint of porter.
The man in custody was there, also drinking beer. When witness
entered, there was nothing acid by any body there on the subject of
the late murders, but when the company had withdrawn, leaving
him and Can wright together in the room, the latter said, addressing
him in a very mysterious manner, " I say, master, would you
like to ram one hundred guineat without much trouble ?" " Yes,"
said I, " it would be very acceptable if I could do so in an honest
way." To this Cartwright said, for he told me his name, that it
could be done in an honest way. He then said, " I suppose you
have heard of the murder of John A kehurst and his housekeeper.
Elizabeth Haines. that took place on Thursday night at Fetcham."
11 replied in the affirmative ; and making some remarks on the
atrocity of the offence, concluded by. expressing my sincere hope
that the horrible miscreants would soon be its the hands of
justice. Cartwright Homed with attention to my remaets, anti when
`had finished, lie exclaimed, with all the apparent earnestness
imaginable, " Then lam the murderer!" Surely, said I, ySu are
not the guilty penton ? " Yes, bat I am," said he, " and if you
don't take me into custody I shall deliver myself up at the next
watch-house." Harris then regretted that he had sat so long in
the company of a murderer, when Cartwright declared that his
mind had been in such a dm ta_of tortoni .and amnia"
rinser simian, had itribrue&WßlßOrra WIC blood of hie fellow-
' areatamm, that he never had a moment's happiness ; and if he was
apprehended be &mid lay violent hands upon

chat add rewiped thisiosito custody what were
tjstid to hays bad no hand in it ; perhaps, added he
' to t, pea want to play the same " No," replied
Cartwright, " the accusation that I have made against myself is
too true." lie then supplicated to be taken into custody ; and
Harris, really believing all be had confessed to be true, accord.
ingly took ham away to the watch-house, and lodged him there at
his own desire, on the charge of having committed the murders.
On the conclusion of the above extraordinary statement, the
Alailiatrate asked Harris whether Cartwright was intoxicated at the
time ?
Harris replied that he was ndt drunk, but lie might have been a
little In liquor. lie seemed, however, to have all his senses about
him, added Harris.
Lawrence, a watchman, who was ope of the party who assisted in I
conveyitigGrtwright to the watch-house,on his own confession, said '!
that he had all the appearance of haring been guilty of the murders
last night; for on his way to the watch-house he frequently broke
est into the following exclamations :—`• 0. wretched man that I
ate, I shall never be happy at this side of the grave ! Why did I
awarder the poor old innocent and helpless couple? 0, who can
tell my feelings at this present moment ?" In fact, said the watch-
man, he presented such a picture of despair and agonized feelings,
that any body who saw him last night would have sworn that he
was the murderer.
Mr. CALDw ELL—Did he say that lie had obtained any plunder?
The Watchman—No, Sir ; but Ea said that I should come in for
my share of the 100 guineas reward for hii appiehension, when he
was hanged.
Nowcomb, one of the officers of the establishment, was desired
to examine Cartwright's clothes, in order to see whether there were
any minks of blood upon them. The search accordingly took
Flare, and the officer reported ikon these was blood upon the sleeve
et his shirt.
The constable of the wateh.tntooe where Cartwright was confined
all night said that his conduct widle there was more like that of a
person who hod committed some &soulful crime than a mind at
ease. lie did not appear to be intoxicated ; and, during the night,
frequently ejaculated that he was a murderer.
Mr. CALDWELL now asked Cartwright what lie had to say on
the subject of the atrocious Offences which he had confessed himself
to hare perpetrated ? When the Magistrate addressed Cartwright
for the explanation he had to offer, all eyes in the office were directed
towards the latter, when Cartwright began thus
Your Honour, 1 am an old soldier, and have served my King
and my country at home and tanned for the last 25 years. I have
never committed a murder in my life, except murdering the enemies
of my country In the field of battle. Your Honour, the truth is. I
have lately been home from India, and mused the Board at Chelsea
on %Wednesday, on which day I received my penaion and prize-
money. Having my pockets pretty well lined with " rhino," 1
set out to have a little pleasure to town, and happened to stray ism
