the different witnesses who were likely tii throw
any light upon this horrid business. and that Mr.

aim of the first acts with Neale was to knock at
the dour of Silts, who, it is supposed. mistook
what was said, viz. *, Selig, the Mike boo been

Duke ;" as he was heard making a noise.; and it
was their supposed lie concluded he was detected,
as he was heard opeuing a derii er. is whin!) was
the razor with which he cut his owes throat. The
razor formerly belonged to the Duke, and bad
been given lately by him to Selig, who appears,
from a variety of circumstances, to have Leen
the guilty wretch. He was an Italian by birth.
and has left a wife and four children, the elf. st
a girl of about eight years of age. lie was so
crest a favourite of Isis master, that hi, Royal
Highness took him and his family into his apart-
ments to reside, lilt Hayal Highness was also
sponsor for our of tine children, and had weeded
on one of his Royal Sisters. the Princess Diary•,
to loud with him on the same occasion. So
great was the devotion of the servant to. Lis
master, and the attachnie,d of the latter to
Isis seriant, that it had recoaiwirn.led biro to
all the branches of the Royal Family, from se-
ysrel of whom he and hi, children received many
little presents, and marks of notice and attentiou.
His eldest daughter, a tine little girl, was to the
crowd yesterday morning at the palace, a melanch‘ly
spectator of the bustle and confusion created by this
shocking catastrophe, which has deprived her of her
parent. St li, entered into bit Royal Highness's
service about 14 years 5.,4n, but left it for some
Line.—lie entered again into it about 7 years
ago, anti continued in it until this dreadful event.
Ile always shaved his master, who was so partial to
him, that he would not stiffer any other domestic to
pe•forni that office; and some tense ago when he was
sr•. k Lis Royal Il;:;hexs- shave•] himself.

It is said that the deemed had been engaged in
a dispute with one of his fellow-oervatits, and that
it was left to the determination of his Royal High-
ness, who decided against him. This is supposed
to hare irritated his mind and instigated him to
this murderous intent; others attribute it to a sud-
den fit of insabity ; but there are circumstances
which shew that it was premeditated and deli-
berate. The following are the circanistanees which
lead to tail co:iclusiou of the house-manls
steer, that within the last Month she found a poker
to ice concealed under the bead of the Duke's Ind.
She thought it o very extraordinary tituanisialice
at the tan., but nnt knowing how toacconnt fur it,
she did not mention it; but she SNIP suspects that
it was placed by soiree est who meditated bodily
harm to his Huyal Highness. It (wither appear.

filighnels from ringing the bell, on finding himself

The report of this shrieking ?vain Goan spread

with draw, and every inpusible involution was taken
to prevent any noise that could disturb Lis Itojal
