SOUTMEND. SEPT. 11.
t For the. first time, this season, there is to be a ball
to-night, at the Hotel, for wltich.the &Iles are mak-
ing preparations.
Mrs. Powet.t. had her benefit last night, at the
Theatre, under the patronage of -Lady 13a Ism
The performance was the Tragedy of " Romeo and
Juliet," in which the leading parts were sustained
by that Lzdy and Mr. TROTTER, in a manner
highly gratifying to a numerous audience. " The
Children in the ;rood" concluded the entertainments
of the evening. At the end of the play, Mrs.
PoweLL delivered, with great feeling and effeel,
some very affeeling and impressive lines, in com-
memoration of the brilliant services, as well as the
lamented but glorious death, of the heroic Lord
NeLsos. Such an Address could not fail in any
place, but particularly in this, of producing enthu-
siastic applause, especially from the Naval Officers,
who attended the evening's representation. She
could not possibly have sele!led a them, more gra-
tifying to the feelings of the Ludiencr, and her tunes
and manner were such as irresistibly to produce all
those strong ernotiuns which such a iubjeel was cal-
culated to excite.
Tomorrow evening will he performed, " We Fie

—.as.—
Tuesday their Royal Highnesses and suite left
Ragley, where every possible eireld was given t.. the
it rya! visit. The nook owners ea tressed theinseives
in terms of great gratification, for the honour that
had been conferred upon them. In taking leave, 0.,
Prince acknowledged his high sense of the attentions
he had received, and most gracroo.ly assured the l'.l4r-
quit and Marchioness of his esteem and regard. The
weather proved very unfavourable, notwithstanding
the people were every where assembled to enjoy the
delight of beholding the Hvir Apparent and his Au.
trlitt Brother. At Bromesgrove, the arrival of klis
Royal Highness was so unexpetled, that the usual
attentions coold ant be prepared, for which the
most siqcere excuses were made, and the strong-
est regret expressed ; however, the inh thitants of
that tcwo did nut fail to testify their j'iy in the
loudest tones, in the midst of which their Royal
Higlmesses arrived oat: took leave. At Ki tder-
minster, the Royal Brothers were waited upon
by the Mayor and Corporation, intreating their
Royal Highnesses would receive an humble address
of congratulation upo.i their sate arrival in that
lancient Borough, and had prepared a sumptuous
collation, hoping their Royal Highnesses would con-
iiescend to refresh themselves. Ihe flince expressed
himself very sensible of their relit attention, and was
graciously pleased to send Major Bloomfield to wait
upon the Mayor, .kr. to convey his sentiment; of
concern at not being aldeto leave his carriage, and to
assure them, of his very high respert for that ancient
Borough. 'I he Yeomanry and Volunteers were as-
Pei:tatted to mark.their re:pc& ; and the crowds were
ouch as to impede the progress of His Royal High-
asess's carriages ;. loud huvas were heard front one
end to the other of that very populous town. At
Bridgenorh, His Royal Highness met a simiiar re-
ception—The Recorder and Corporation, &c. ap-
proached their Prince, in terms ihe most loyal. and
.`egged to be permitted to enrol the names of the
.Royal Brothers among the Burgesses ~f Bridge:mit/I.
The Prince most graciously teceived this tribute of
,respeft, and. with his usual matinee, captivated all
who could get near the carriage ; the Gentlemen,
,when His Royal Highness had 6nis`:ed, with the
. most impressive tone, said, " May rrovid ...nee protert
yeti." The Yeomanry and Volunteers were pa-
raded opposite the Inn, and received His Royal
Highness with presented arms, 4114 the hand playing,
God tale the Ain! ; they were commanded by ',jct.
tenant-CA:mei Whitmore, whom His Royal High-
ness Tait graciously thanked for his attention. ,ei,n
extraordinary clrcutostaace had occurred at Shrews-
bury. The i.indkrd, oa his death-bed. a few days
since, made a dying request, that His Royal Hip-
ness would inner six horses to he put to his carriage,
which message being delivered with the above par-
ticulars, they did not tail to affet the feelings. of our
Priitee, and, contrary to his praf.lice, he most wil-
lingly consented. In the town of Shrewssory the
Volunteers were in part only assembl,:d, His Royal
Highness having arrived two hours sooner than, by
their intelligence, he was espelted ; the Yeonaaary
escorted the Royal carriage to Mr. Forrester's. a die.
tance of four miles, manifesting that utmost happ;-
ress at toting permitted to do so. His Royal High.
nets tuanked the Commanding Officer for this par-
ticular mark GI hi: attention. Though raining very
Heavily, immense crowds were earned in this town,
each person eying with his neighuour in some ewes-
slot' of loyalty 2111.1 attachment towards their rrtace.
Sours after His Royal Highness arrived at Ross Hall,
a Deputation frc.m Shrewslotry waited upon him,
to jaunt the honour and happiness of presenting
an humble address, aqd sincerely to congratulate His
R.iyal Highness upon his safety; this eventual will
LAC performed to-roorrow. .

MAO-ft tat?.
The tram& A ured tale, inserted M a paper of yes-
terday. of a sick man having confessed his being
the murderer of .Mrs. Pooley, ac I y down, in the
Borough, is who I y erroneous ; and we lament that
such nccounts should be published.
The a;;count alluded to said, that the sick man
was in custody ; that he had confessed the murder to
his Doftor ; and that the circumstance was made
known to the pr ncipal Clerk, which led to his

apprehension
Mr. Graham has undertaken the investigation of
the business, and we hardly need inform the
public, that no penetration, smithies, or exertions,
will be wanting to bring the perpe:rators of this
horrid murder to condign punishment, as it will be
rev-Ake-led, that it was owing to the indefatigable
exertious of this worthy Maiostrate, that Patc/i was
brought to justice.
No circumstances have yet transpired that are
proper to be made public, without impeding tie
ends of justice ; bur, in answer to the erronems
account of yesterday, we :.hall stale, that a man,
who resides in the Borough, being ill, about a
work since, in conversation with a friend, told
him, that his brother had been asked by two men
to join them in going to rob an old woman, brit
bad very properly declined It. This tale briug
reported, got to the knowledge of a gentleman,
a relative of the d,-ceased, who communicated the
circumstance personally to Mr. nraham. (hi com-
paring the time the. man was asked to *Jain two others
is going to rob an old woman, with that at which
Mrs. Parley was robbed and murdered, they were
found to correspond. Mr. Graham, ip ronse•
sprenee, began iiivestigving the laisi..ess ; and, on
Wesleesday. be caused a 111411 and woman to be
.apprehended.
On Thursday, Mr. Graham, accompanied by
Mr. Stafford, the principal (lei', w. re in the Bo-
rough nearly the whole of the day making inquiries
the result was, on his return to the Office in the
afternoon, he dispatched &vett and Cox to appre-
i heed another man.
The parties are, at present, at the Brown Bear
Public-house, opposite the Otfic?, merely because
the circumstances against them are extremely-slight;
k would therefore be improper to state who they.
are.
it ASSION.HOURU•
Yesterday Fdavarel Edward', the Crimp. who, We
have before stated, negieded to atiend here, par.
'want to the summonses served on him, was brought
before tile LORD MAN' OM. on a warrant. to amen
to the complaint of the American and she English
seaman, who charged him with taking possession
of their trunks, without their direflion or approba-
tion, and retusing to deliver them up, unless they
paid him a guinea each.
The seamen related the same store which has
been already crated ; and further Lai', that m
esrnsequenee of the condiret of Mr. Edwards, they
had been pot ea very great expellee in purchasi- g
clothes to appear dace a, and remaining an lesnd, n
longer than they intended.
The LORD M avian first desired, that the Officers
' and Edwards should gO with the Complainants, and
Sr•ng the trunks to the Mansion-H•arse. 'I his was
done accordingly ; and Isis Lordship then asked the
Defendant, how he could accouut tow his conduit in
this business?
Edwards stated very bluntly, (bat the charges he
had made were perfefaly meaf . and even dint ph
ilis Lordship was of a dikerent opini-n, he could ar-d
would prove it in another place. He had, he said,
• hired a Gravesend boat to go down to the Bombay
Ca,tle East lndiaman,as tie had several men on board.
1 When he got there, one of the Complainants intro-
ducea- himself to-him, and agreed to come to Lon-
don with him. Tnis man having the care of the
American seaman's trunk, it was also pot into a
wherry, which he, Edwards, had hired, and carried
to the Gravesend boat. a distance of ale. cat halt a
mile, and thence to London. The rods were
then landed at Billingsgate, and deposited at the
Green Man poblic-house, in Derkhouse.lare, from
which place he had them conveeed to Ins own
house. He had been, he said, at a very great ex-
pense for these two boats, and for the porterage of
she goods, and he therefore made the charge of a
gninea from each of -the Complainants, which he
thought was very reasonable. %N sift rasped to the
Complainant having paid seven shillings to the
Master of the Gravesend host for the carriage of-
the trunks, he could only say this the man bad no
right to receive it, as he had been already paid by
him.
!- The Loan Mayor said, with regard to the rea-
tanableness of the charge, he entertained a very dif-
tetimt opinion from • Mr. Edwards ; he thought it
was exorbitant; and he also thought it necessary to
inform the DefenJant. that in taking away these
trunks, without direflions, be had been guilty of
little less than a felony. He, therefore, advised him
to take care never to be again brought before him
under such a charge, or he would baste season to re-
pent it. The trunks, his Lordship added, should be
deliver •d over to the Complainants, on their paying
the reasonable .er.pences. which he considered to be,
three shillings for carrying them from the India-
*mean to the teravesend boat, siveen-pence for por-
terage from the waterside to the Green Man, and
eight-pence for warehouse-room there, making in
the whole live shillings. With respell to the ex-
pecte incurred by the carriage in the Gravesend
Mat. that. his Lordship said, had beers already paid
by owe of the Complainants, and it was nut just
that he should pay it over Leann. 1
One of the Officers here informed his Lordship,
that two and nine-pence had been paid by hint for
conveying the trunks in a cast to the Mansion-
House.
His Lordship, in consequence, &reeled, that that
'herald be &eluded from, the five shillings , to be
paid to Eawards, as it was the consequence of his
miscondud.
The balance was, accordingly, ten: tired t 3 Ed-
weeds, but he refused to accept it, and declared he
....crate seek redress in another place. •
