STEALING COWS.

Thomas Webb, aged '22, was indicted for stealing
two cows, the property of the Right Honourable
James Earl Waldegrase.
Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution,
as it was detailed in the following evidence :-
11Kempster stated, that he was cow-herd to
Earl ‘‘'aldegrave, and lived on his Lordship's land
at Twickenham. Ott the evening of the I.stit of
December, at six o'clock, six cows were all vale its
the meadow ; at ten minutes after six o'clock on the
following morning, he discovered that tem of thew
were gone. About two o'clock on the day they
were missed he again saw the caws in the case of
Richard Burnett.
Edw. Merrick, a fanner, at Stanmore, said, that
on the 16th of Dercember, at eight o'clock in the
morning, he saw the Prisoner driving two cows on
the Stain/sore road. Witness asked the Prisoner
where he was going ? he replied, to sell the cows,
cad that the price was OW. Witness t.ffered him

agreed to take. lie the-it desired the Poisoner to

this inquiry, he gave the Prisoner Gd. to get a pot of

that exquisitely beautiful paysage, in which Haarkt

of a subject so noble, and sir admirably handled.
In the scene with Opheliti lie was sufficiently spirit.
ed, without " o'ertteppitig the modesty of nature."
He was here applauded must enthusiastically. The
play scene was also hotly acted. and was 'mul
admired. But perhaps his must highly-wrought
effort was the closet interview wills his tnoti.er
passion and dignity were finagled with his reproof,
and the return of filial affecti ttttt when he Pmlid
that he had touched the heart of his guilty pareht,
was marked in a very affecting manner. An.

chaste humour of Mr. BLANCHARD. who tilayed

IJF.IIIOGS SCENE.

Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, one of those ec-
ru' relicts whirls are alike 'linear...fill to busman nature ss to
civilization, took place in Smithfield. An ill-looking ilimi-
not ire fellow, of apparent ly low and profligate habits, entered
the market, leading by a halter primed her neck. his wife,
mid followed by a Demerol's crowd of persons. The pour
female, who evinced some shame at this vile exposure, was
muscular, as compared to lire husband, and possessing au ad-
vantage of nearly two feet in height [squad her dwarfish com-
panion, her countenance and manner betrayed evident signs of
better sense and decency. The wretch placed her near the Ram
Ina, and there, amidst the disgust of some and the laughter of
others, put her up fur politic sale. The practice, he said, how-
ever it might be condemned, was one of feudal sines, and
nothing but the contempt he felt on his part, and the con-
sent of the woman, should have induced him to have recourse
to a stratagem, which, however obnoxious, hail still no law
counteract it. The unfeeling wretch fur some lime at-
tempted to obtain a bidding fur his wife, until, at length,
the anus of hotrnerown being offered, the sale gradisally
increased as high as Mesa shillings. At this moment the
multitude had couliderably increased, and the noise,fflogissi,
and laughter excited, drew to the spot some of the city 01E-
crrs, who speedily terminated the barbarous scene' by, seizing
the wife, untwisting the halter from her neck, and con-
veying her away to a place of safety. What emstri-
bated to the atrocity of this shameful exhibition war, the
cis cutustance of a good-looking young woman, the daughter
of the wife, staniliag, or rather clinging to her mother, dur-
ing the shameful spectacle. To render the thing still more
atrocious, the parties, it seem., had been married twelve
years! It is tweilless to add that the mousier escaped, amid
yells of disgust and abborielire.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1819.

The measure proposed by the CHANCELLOR of
the Excuersura for rendering available to the pub-
lic service the occasional surplus of the Consoli-
dated Fund, was last night brought again before
the House of Commons, on the question for corn-
witting the Bill. On tins occasion Mr. Gaut TILL
and Mr. Tummy severally repeated the assertions
they formerly made on this subject, namely, that
from the limited character of the proposed measure
the balances of public money thus about to be reor-
dered available would be found not to exceed
11,000,000/. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, however. did not assent to this representa-
tion, but contended that the terms of his original
statement would be eventually fulfilled. and that
the balances contemplated by his Bill would
amount to six millions, to be disposed of in the
manner already stated. Besides the Winces from
the Consolidated Fund, there are other deposits of
public money in the hands of the Bank not com-
prised in the present Bill, nor regulated by any
previous law, which it had long been Mr. GREN.
YELL'S object to have rendered available to the
public service ; but these the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER is for the present unwilling to touch,
although he admits that it might at some future
period, not far distant, be deemed advisable to
undertake the regulation even of them. It is diffi-
cult to imagine why a sum of money wising wi-
der one head of account should he regarded as
more sacred than if it accrued under another.
particularly when no attempt is made to draw
any distinction between them. on the princi-
ple of greater difficulty in the undertaking. Mr.
VANSITTART acknowledges that the time may soon
arrive when he should find it expedient to take such
sums out of the hands of the Bank fur the use of
the public ; but if a state of financial embarrass-
ment confers. on any particular period, the peculiar
right of drawing into action every possible means
of counteracting difficulties, the present year has
a claim which we hope no future year will be found
to equal. Why should the Batik be suffered Ato
turn out shilling of the public money to its owes
advantage, while the CHANCELLOR of the Excise.

wan-Aced the Whig Interest, that he could have elevated
himself to an Archbishopric, and also have made him (Cap-

had been several years at variance previous to the death of
the latter.

maker, and Sarah, his wife, that the deceased and her hus-
band lived in the next mum to them ; that the deceased airs
confined to her bed aeveral da soil would Hut he mimed,
to leave it, imagining that she was dead, and frequently
asked them why they kept her so lung without burying
her ; she would not be persuaded to lake any nourishment
but toast and water, of which she drank a great deal.
On Monday a Doctor came lo visit her, whose opinion was,
that she had a brain fever. He prescribed some medicine.
After the Doctor was vine, she called to Sarah Pinkly, and
desired her to take the heel from under her, and lay her sat
the sacking, and cover her over with a sheet, as she
was dead, and to send for a coffin, .41 have her interred.
The deceased continued all that day in a very &raisond state
of mind. She look the mciliciiie that wax prescribed, and
about five o'clock on Tuesday evening, inking advantage of
the absence of her husband, she got up and threw herself out
of the wisolotv. She was immediately taken up and carried
