On Thursday, the 54th ult. a Coroner's Inquest
was held at Langhem. in Rutland, on the treaty of
RICHARD STACY. a mason, who was found drown-
ed iu a well near his house. A few days before, he
had absconded from his 'wife and fetidly, leaving
them to battle with the world for subsistence as
they hest could, and himself enlisted into the Mi-
litia at Leicester. A compunctions feeling, hew-
ever, for the unprotected state in which he had left
his family, is supposed to have occasioned his re-
turn to Loughran : arriving at the door of his
house, overpowered by a sense of his unworthiness,
in a ninvient a delirium he therm himself headlong
into his own well, and when taken out was quite
lifeless. Verdict—Li/agcy.

A count soldier, a deserter, was brought to
Southampton, on the ath.isit. malls way to the depot

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Isaac Castle was indicted for assaulting Mary
Little, and forcibly taking from her a shawl, the
property of Mr. John Thombury.
Miss Mary Little deposed, that on the Bth of
December she was going to Hampstead, about
half-past five in the evening; she perceived a Terson
following her, and was alarmed ; as she turned the
corner of Hand-street, a man caught her by the
leg, and threw her down,. took a shawl out of her
hand, and run off. When she got up, being much
frightened, she went to a green-4,rocer's, and beg-
ged that some person might attend her home. A
boy was sent with her, and on her way she met a milk-
man, to whom she told her story. He said he had
seen a man of the description making off, and he
and the boy went in pursuit, while Witness return-
ed to the green-grocer's. She could not see the
man's face, as his coat was buttoned about it ; she
did not think he was as tall as herself ; be wore a
dark olive-coloured rugged coat. In about half
an hour the hoy returned, and informed her that
the milkman had taken the man, and she went to
the wateb-ho.;,e, where she saw the shawl ; it was
the same she had lost ; did not see the man at the

watch-house.
Edward Coaten deposed, he was a keeper of
cows. When in Hand-street he heard a lady
scream out, and saw a man run round a corner to-
wards Sloane-street; met Miss Littie, and heard her
story ; she was much frightened; took the boy that
was with her, and went in pursuit; saw the Pri-
soner fall, and after a chase of three quarters of a
mile, came up with him, and took him into cus-
tody • he had the shawl in his breast, took it from
him, brought him to the watch-house, and seat
the boy to infonn Miss Little.
A Juryman asked, if he made any resistance ?
Witness answered, not much, he only made a bit
of a rumple when a crowd gathered round them.
Witness pr:sduced the shawl. It ass a plaits red
silk shawl Miss Little identified it.
John I licks, the boy, corroborated the evidence
of Coaten.

Mr. DIVA TAVVII. " That the President's Mes-

Mr. LOVE molted. " That it be reNtsred.ta the.
Committee of the whole on the State of the is Mop,' J
Mr. Rowwa hoped it would lie on the taf.lo.
Nothing could be done with it when referred to
the Committee. The President had only intend-
ed, by trAitsmitting these documents, to !thew the
policy of the embargo measure. It was
that, in the comae of a few days, the Atti:
might feel it his duty to make some communiCa-
tiou relative to the workings of France on the
same subject. fly • referring this Message to any
Committee,, it would excite anxiety in the public
mind.

Mr. Less was unwilling to excite public appre-;
; but he wished this subject to be referred
to a Committee of the whole o► the state of the
Union, in order that it might be acted on at so►ne
future period. He could not attribute to the
Executive Department a wish to give a popular
tone to any measure of the ( ioserinnent. He con-
sidered the Message as a manly expression of
opinion ; and he could not consent to cast en
wham upon it, particularly when to congenial to
the general sentiment of the nation.
Mr. SYILIE contended, that these documents
were too important to be referred to a Select Com-
mittee. He acknowledged that we must know
something more about the state of the negociation,
before we *could act upon the subject ; but he
wished them to be referred to a Committee of the
whole on the state of the Union, in order that they
might be acted on when circumstances should re-
quire.
They were then referred to the Committee of
the whole on the State of the Union, yeas fi7.

LEIVES, Lhc. 5.

On last Saturday evening, a very brilliant and
crowded assemblage of beaaty and faskon attended
at our Theatre to winless the reprepentation cf 'Vie
Provoked lfnsband, and /'he forty Tliseves, be-
spoken by Capt. SotrYlsit, and his Troop of Yeo-
manry, whose very liberal patronage brought for-
ward the l'ertiwitters with all that good-will and
cheerful alacrity, which full benches lichloin fail to
incite. The tribufeuf puttee, therefore, due to them
on this occasion, should not be wholly with-held.
The principal characters were all capiLally soppurt-
ed, and consequently, gained ri,ueli applanse. Mrs.
Nal(' us never yet d Lady Tardy better; though
somewhat lusty,she looked charmingly, and deeply
impressed the audience with the three of her re-
motion. Mrs. DORMER, in Miss Jenny, was de-
ligiitful ; and we belt.rve that the effect of her per-
formance was felt ht rxe:7 I.ldirnival iu the house.
Misr JOIIIIIIITONt., its LaJy Grace, was as successful
as site could a isii. She is, indeed, a very pretty
actress, and, what is more, a very deserving girl.—
tier dramatic merit, after a little more country
practice, will, no doubt, recommend her to the
London boards. Miss HOPER again captivated the
auditory by the excelleace of her pas sent; and
NORtiIIANI sang his comic song with much limainum
but it was not ar all aided by the no-ineaning whim-
sicality of his head-dress. In one of the side-
boxes, we noticed Viscount HAMPDEN and his La-
dy, with Sir Dm° and Lady ‘VF.DDEitiftlaie, and
the Misses WEDDERIDURN, who appeared highly
„
pleased with the evening s entertainment. The

" hi the mean time, it appears certain, that a
iiivision of their troops has disembarked at Como-
ha, and that another division, at the beginning of
this month, filtered thadajos. The day we fall in
with them will be a day of festivity to the French
army. May they Laois:ea with their blood diet

" The greatest falsehoods. the basest means,

calamities.

DUE LLI N G.

It is now a gond many Fears since there occurred
an affair very similar to that which recently hap-
pened at Armagh, and was, at the time, a subject
of general conversation: the parties were, a Mr.
Mills, a rich planter of the Island of Nevis, and a
Mr. Barbot, an eminent attorney, of the same
place ; the former was between 40 and 60, the
latter about 25 years of age ; the quarrel was
brought on in consequence of some opposAion of
interests arisins froth the sale of an estate in 'the
island of st. Ititt's;—the evidences (for the proofs
acre wholly presumptive ones; the testimony of
Negroes, though witnesses or accessories iu ufiences,
not being admissible iu the West Indian courts)
that primarily decided the opinion of the Jury
were—soma persons that came up soon after the
affair, and the surgeons who examined the deceas-
ed, Mr. Milk—the former, " came up as Mr. M.
expired ;" the "deceased had on his great coat and
gloves ; his pistols were in the bolsters, and his
sword some distance from him, in the scabbard."
Two other evidence=, that, " coming into the
room where the deco ascot's body lay, they called
for his pistols; in one they found neither powder
nor boll, nor in the other any powder, but only a
bell sticking in the barrel ; there were three bullets
in his breeches pockets." Messrs. Hamilton ant
Edwards, surgeons, snore that " the ball had en-
tered the right side, at a place which they could
not describe better thau by drawing a straiiiht line
from the par, four inches towards the back that
upon opening the body, they found the ball had
entered above the last false rib, and splintered it,
and had penetrated the body obliquely, front the
right to the left side, which occasioned his death :
that they did riot think the deceased could have
received such a wound if he Aed been wending in
posture of defence, hecante the hall' took its
eonrse towards the fore-part of the left side."--
This conclusion, however, 'appears liable to objec-
tions, from the attitude in which parties siteays
stand, presenting their right side, narrowed us much
as possible, to the antagonist. The Juryeafter half
an hour's deliberation, brought in a verdict guilty,
and sentence of execution folios ed.
Previous to his execution, Mr. harlot wrote a
narratory letter to a gentleman of St.Kitt's, in which
be insisted upon having killed Mr. Mills fairly ;
bet in • paper delivered to the provost 31andial
at the place of execution, lie said notliln; of the
truth of the narrative; so that whether he kilted
Mr. M. fairly or not, is_ $3ll doubtful. Certain it
ti, that Mr. -Mills and he bet by exprris appoint-
ment: therefore, if it was not a fair duel, Mr. 'Mill,
