murder,
e r
David Greer, who for perhaps the last 20 years, has
secluded from society, near the top of the Bahl Mountain,
miles south of this place. Higgins, at the time of
was under arrest, attended by Wm. S. Erwin,
constable, and 31r. Cooper, who were conducting him to a
Justice f the Peace, for trial. The cause of the quarrel was
some trivial matter, the particulars of which it is unnecessary to
relate. Greer had shot from a place of concealment rear the
road, at Higgins, and missed his aim ; atter which he got a-head
of the party unperceived, and waited in a waste house on the
road until they came up, when he shot Higgins 'dead on the spot.
Upon seeing his prisoner fall, Ile immediately burst open the
doer of the house where Greer had concealed himself, and at.
ten.pted to arrest him. A violent muffle ensued, the hermit's
great strength rendering hint a fearful enemy. Besides his rifle,
he had armed himself with an axe; and, after fighting some tune
with the former, which, from the lowness of the joists, could not
be used to advantage, he then strove to get hold of his weapon.
In this attempt Erwin, with a small cudgel, twice knocked him
on his knees; yet, still apprehensive that his purpose might not
be effected. he directed Cooper to shoot him. Cooper fired and
wounded him in the hand, when he submitted, and was secured.
Notwithstanding the hurry and confusion of a scene so appalling,
Etwin's resolution and self-command appear not to have for a
moment forsaken Win. On the neat day the murderer was safely
lodged in the gaol at Jonesborough, there to await his trial. It
has been thought, for many years past, that he was the subject of
a slight mental Or augnucnt.—Americon Parr. .

GENERAL ORDER.
Horse Guards, Jan. 14.
It having been represented to the Commander-in-Chief that
very serious inconvenience, as well as great irregularity, have
arisen in consequence of the wine and spirits (stopped u s pun'sh-
ment from the soldier, by the officers commanding troops when
embarked in transports) being re-issued in gross to the man, his
Royal Highness has been pleased to direct that this practice shall
be entirely discontinued.
Whenever citcumstances render it necessary to abate the ration
of wine or spirits to the soldier, his Royal Highness desires that
the value in money shall be laid out for his benefit at the period of
disembarkation ; but his Royal li fhness strictly forbids that it
shall on any account be re-issued in kind during the time the troops
continue on board ship.
By Command of his Royal Highness
The Commander-in-Chief,
HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.

PERU.

The following documents, though not very recant in
their date, will not be uninteresting at this moment, whets
the fate of Peru is, as far as we know, yet uncertain. Ths
first is the message sent by the Peruvian Government to
Bolivar, on his arrival in their country, soliciting his advico
on the state of affiirs. The second is hisaaswer, written
in that frank and ardent spirit which has distinguished
all his public declarations. The third is the Decree of the
Congress of Peru, investing the Colombian Liberator with
the supreme authority, both military and political, of the
Peruvian Republic, suspending at the same time the Pre-
sident, Torre Tagle, in the exercise of his functions, which
he was not to resume without the judgmei:t of the Li-
berator

threw off at Burrow-green, the propeety of k. Campion, Esq., and
after drawing the wood for near a o,oarter of an hour. Reynard was
ur.kennelled, and took off in a gallant style towards the bloom, in
the direction of Ouisbro'. After leaving the Moors above Onistoo',
he entered t he inclosures on r'..e right, and creasing theW bil by road,
at Waterfall bridge, prodded directly across the extensive moor
of Stronsbow, towardslYaupley, which he passed en the right, end
turned into Commondale. Here, in consequence of some sherp
having crossed the scent, the hounds were at rank about ten tiii-
nutes, and some cold hunting followed; but Reyranl
the scent soon became gnod, aid the hounds again wert t.R. t rea••.-

attention of the Ass mbly. fcrliog, as he dues, the greet import-
ants of it, and know the a2rious disappointment which his 31a-

interest.. as well as for the cause of humanity, the House should
reject the substance ref this regulations now proposed to them—regu-
lations which have received the unqualified saecticn of Parliament,
and the general approbation of the empire."
The message having been read, 31r. Stewart moves that the

BUENOS .PYRES PAPERS.

[From the Argus to November 11, inclusive.l
liuEnos AYRES, OCT. 23.
The first preparatory meeting of the Representatives of the
provinces took place to Saturday ; the object of it seems to have
been to tie the day for the installation of the National Bul,. winds
was appointed to be on the Ist of January. 1323. This will allow
aufficient time for the representatives, who at. still-wasting. to
reach this city.
The savages have made another incursion into the territory of
Buenos Ayres. This will afford matter to the Afadrid Gszette,
which scents to have undertaken to prove ate inability to contend
with Spain, front the feeble manner in which it supposes os to repel
the incursions of the barbarians.

An official note, addressed by the Government to the Prelate of
the diocese, dated Buenos Ayres, October 23, 1824. directs that
enfant-Int should be attended to which might be received num
Don 111 " who calls himself Apostolic Vicar of Chili." The
issuing of reseripts by Don 31usi was held to be disrespectful
an Independent Government. The Vicar-General replied to the
note, stating, that no attention had been paid to the reseripts pre-
viously received from 1)on .lasi, the issuing or which he con-
siders to have been merely an experiment un the part of that
individual.
OCTODT.II3B.
All the letters received by wily of Salta agree in the second driest
of the Spanish army under Cementer, by General Bolivar. ''lhe
channel through which the news has been received is worthy of the
greatest credit, and it is affirmed that it has been communicated in
:Bojo by I). Gaspar Planets, to an individual ■ow residing in Salta,
adding, that In this action Camerae comple'elv lost all his cavalry
and six battalions of infantry ; and that the Viceroy La Serna had
already abandoned Cusco. and was falling back to the lbettaguadcra,
where he thought to fortify liimeelf.
General Olaneta is collecting all hi■ forces to give a warm re-
ceptioa (to remise with bullets. as I)om Gaspar himself said) to
La terna and the other constitutional Spaniards. The situation of
the latter in Peru is certainly very arduous. In the north, Genera'
Bolivar, at the head of a respectable and victorious amiss. nnnturs
and annihilates them ; while, in the south, the army of General
Ilaneta deprives them of all resources. and prepares to receive them
with bullets. This is the sfeserved fate of men no corrupt, and
worming so little capacity to promote their own interest and that
of the Constitutional party to which they belonged, and which they
engaged to protect. _

The Government of Peru has given orders to equip. with all

will soon cease to appear in the Pacific with the worm-eaten Spanish

LONDON awl PORTSMOUTH GRAND SHIP
. _

The peculiar situation of the Port of London, with respect to the
great proportion of its Trade carried on by way of the Briush (*bon-
ne!, ts well known. The dangers and delays are extreme, and the
conselpient losses enernums.
After a long and close examination of the subject, a line has
been at last ascertained, by which the River Thomes may be con-
nected with Portsmouth Harbour, by means of a Tide-Canal,
from Deptford, WITHOUT LOCKS, and NAVIGABLE for
SHIPS of the lA/WEST CLASS, FULLY EQUIPPED
and LADEN, which may be expeditiously passed through it by
tnecharical means. _ _ .

A Eisr,nniTitut been formed to carry into effect this Stupendous
and truly ational Oljeet, the advantages of which, in every
point of view, are so jinni:rise, as to render even the great expense
which must be incurred, an object of comparatively minor import-
ance, when viewed in connexion with a revenue to be derived from
the whole British and Foreign trade of the Port of London, with
the East and West Indies, North and South America, Africa, the
31editerranftn. Spain, Portugal, and the greatest part of France ;
*voyage to and from any of which places will be reduced, on an
average, one or two months. The facilities afforded to the coasting
and Irish trade will be of the utmost consequence. The estimated
expense is something more than Four ; tut to cover con-
tingencies, the Capital raised will be Five Millions.
Applications for Shares of 1001. each, must be made by letter
only (post paid), addressed to the Secretary, at the office of Mews.

JAMAICA.

The following is a copy of the Address of the Commit-
tee of the House of Assembly of Jamaica, to his Excellency
the Govcnor:—

" M•T IT PLEASE TOUR GRACE,—We are desired by the
House to wait on your Grate, to infttrin you that they have taken
into their consideration your Grace's Message of the I Ith instant,
together with the copy of his 31ajesty's Order in Council for im-
proving the condition of the slaves in Trinidad, which accompanied
the said 3lossage. The !louse consider the present season of alarm
and agitation, when the negro mind is peculiarly liable to false
impressions, unfavourable thy the adqption of any measure inter-
fering with lung-established institutions, and therefore cannot but
regret that those motives of prudence which influenced the British
Clover= rot in delaying to carry the Order in Council into exe-
cution at Demerara, should not have restrained it front prewing the
immediate consideration of this subject on one of the oldest and
most 'valuable possesaions of the British Crown, under circuit'.
static-s infinitely more critical than those which apply to that con-
quered colony. The House, however, assure your Grace, that
they will, notwithstanding, continue to bestow their most serinns
consideration on all subjects connected with the welfare of the slave
population in this island, and will embrace every favourable op-
portunitv to make such enactments as may be deemed prudent and
advisable."

NEAPOLITAN LOAN of $1,500,0001., n,gaciated by Mr.
N. M. Rothschild, in London.—Tbe half-yearly dividend
of this Loan falling due on Tuesday, the let of February
next, will be paid on that and every succeeding, day, be
tween the hours of ten and two, at Mr. N. M. Rutlischild's
counting-house, New-court, St. Swithin's-lane. It is re-
querted that the warrant, with a list thereof, in numerical
order, may be kft one day for the purpose of being examined.

A HTNT TO JURORS AND JUDGES.—(From a Corres-
pondent).—]t is desirable for Juries to consider that
the laws have not sufficient regard to the different price of
things, in condemning people to death for a theft to the
value of 12d., the law having been made when 12d. were,
equal to 60s. present money, as may be seen by the follow-
ing few instances of the value of money in former times:—
About the year 900, King Alfred left to each of his
daughters 1001. in money. In 1221, Joan, eldest daughter
to King John, upon her marriage with Alexander, King of
Scotland, had a dower of 1001. per annum. In 12?8,
Edward I. gave with Joan, contracted to the King of the
Romans, 10,000 marks sterling, and this to be returned in
case the Prince died before her. In 1314, Elizabeth, wife
of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, being imprisoned in Eng-
land, was allowed for herself and family Ws. per week. In
1330, Joan of Oxford, nurse to the Black Prince, had a
pension of 10/. per annum; and Mend Plimpton, a rocker,
had ten marks. The pensions allowed by the King to :he
Cardinals and great officers of the Pope, who were, in Let,
retained by the Court of England, amounted, at the frost,
to fifty marks a year. In 13517, workmen took their
wages in wheat, at the rate of ten-pence a barbel; a 11'.15•
ter carpenter, mason, or tiler, was allowed by the day three
pence, their journeyman two-pence, and their labourers or
servants one penny. In 1402, the salary of the Lord
Chief Justice of the King's Bench was 401. per annum. In
1408, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas bad
fifty-five marks per annum. In 1549, the Chief Jusnee
of the King's Bench had an addition of 301. to his salary,
and each Justice of the same Bench and Common Plus
20/. At this time a felony, under the value of twelve-per:e,
was not a capital offence; and twelve-pence then was eye
to 60s. at the present day.
