GLASGOW, MARCY 1.--I,lSt night,* shortly before
midnight, the watchman stationed at Ladywell-street
observed two pretty-well dressed- fellows hurrying to-
wards the High Chinch, and he- suspected front their
appearance and demeanour that they were bent on some
unhallowed purpose. His suspicions were well found.
ed ; for, in a very short time afterwards, he observed the
same persons, followed by several people, with a bulky
article rolled in a sheet. He of course took them into
'custody, when it appeared they were bearing the body of
'a titan who had,lately lived in the Havannah, and was
buried on Thursday. Upon this discovery, the indigna-
tion of the people rust to tile highest pitch. Every epi-
thet of indignation and reproach was heaped upon the
utisereants.and had it not ►eers for the timely ;Lorinl of
a strong party of the patrol,' the crowd would certainly,
have inflicted summary and severe punishment on the
spot• A hurley was procured, on which the body was
haid,and, of one of the fellows resisted, struck,• bit, and
:abused the watchman, he was bound and laid beside the
body, and he and it were lodged in the police °nice. In
about an hour afterwards, the body was claimed by the
son of the deceased. Its consequetute of these cam 111 l •
statutes transpiring, with additional inferences, a large
crowd assembled this morning in front of a. house occu-
pied as a lecture-room in this city, and theltimmethately
broke open the door, when a sight was presented of the
most appalling description. There were two apartments,
and in each of them were lying lragments of human bo-
dies, besides all the dissecting instruments. One large
tub was filled with a number of heads, legs, arms, and
other tuns of the home frame, steeping in water. The
naked body of a kniale, with her long flowing hair, was
lying on a table entire. Otte of the bodies wanted the
head, Lite entrails were out. and it was cut up and most
fearfully disfigured. A.complete skeleton seas hanging
at the end of the room. The smell that et ll ill ed was
almost ititoletable. The feelings of the populace were
now aroused, and they immediately tossed out all the
bodies, and threw the tables, frames, boilers, and other
dissecting apparains.on the green. The bodies were re-
covered Irons the crowd, and covered with boards. A
*trona detachments of the 77th regiment arrived about
half past ten, and cleared the street. &hurley and two
creels were thew procured from Bridewell, and taken to
the spot, awl the fragments which were :ying about were
gathered together; as they were placed in the creels, 1
murmur-of horror and indignation ran through the
crowd: The creels in which the bodies Were put were
taken epto Bridewell. The crowd left the place SOOll
afterwards, and a military guard remains on the premises
in which the bodies were bound.

At,Ala Or HONotra.—A rumour has, .for some
days, been in circulation, of a duel between two (limit).
pushed foreigners. The following is an authentic
statement of the affair:--About two years ago, the Nea-
politan General Carascosa announced his determination
of calling out Lieut. General William Pepe, late com-
mander of the Neapolitan knees. Very shortly after the
arrn•al in London of General Pepe, lie received a letter
from Genoa& Carascosa, nt whish, after charging Gen.
Pepe with condom injurious to :hie• reputation, he
pointedly avowed his opinions, that military revolutions
were, in all casco, contrary to the principles of honour—
that any chaegs. in the Government of Naples was un-
necessary—and still fess in that of Spain. The letter
concluded with a challenge in the usual items. To this
letter, General Pepe replied, by ileclarieg his opinion,
that every free State was indebted for its liberty to mili-
tary revolutions, not excepting even England—that the
Spaniarals were now a prey to civil anarchy. only be-
cause certain individuals, calling themselves Liberals,
were.in fact,. hostile to the constitution of the COrtes-.-
that he had employed the authority which his rank and
his command had given him at Naples, to resist the
despotism of a Government, which, while it-rendered
the people miserable, was of no actual advantage to the
reigning dytiasiy-.and concluded by accepting the chal-

attended General Pepe,. and M. Brunet, a French gen-
tleman, General Carascosa. I Ile weapons were swords,
and We combatants engaged; but in the second pass, ,
General Pepe's sword snapped short near the guard, on
which the seconds interfered, and the combat, as is usual
in such.csses, was deferred. A second meeting wok
place on Friday •last, a few miles from London, not far
Irons Kew-bridge. On engaging, General Carascosa
attacked with great impetuosity; but alter several passes
on both sideA.Gatteral Pepe seizing his adversary's sword
with Isis left hand, disarmed hint ; and placing the point
of his sword at his breast, .had his life its his power.—
Here the affair ',null have terminated, but General
Carascosa, on tecovering his sword, renewed the combat,
which was warmly maintained, until he was Snai,y dis-
abled, by a thrust from General Pepe in the right
shoulder. General Pepe, seeing his adversaty incapable
of further defence, declined availing himself of this ad-
vantage, and thus the duel terminated.
OwThesday sennight, Me. Clayton, of Burton, re-
moved wish his family to Basfonl ; and on Tuesday
morning last M)s. Clayton's accouchemetat took place.
In the evening,her hushatul expreswd his fears that the
:room he was about to Bleep in was damp ; and, although,
cannoned by a .iteighbour that the room smoked, lie
conceived that there could be no danger from that cir-
cumstance, and would nave a few. red hot coals pot into
the fireplace. This was accordingly done, and with a
little girl. his daughter, about two years and five months
old, he retired to rest. The nurse and Mrs. Clayton
ray they heard him up with the child ahem one o'clock,
and it is certain he had the child out of bed some time
in the night. About eight o'clock in the morning, the
nurse called at the door, but received tin answer, and
supposing that, as he had Leen disturbed the night be-
fore, be was still asleep, he was not again called till
near ten o'clock. when there was still no answer. She
then opened the dour, but could scarcely breathe, the
sulphur was so strong in the wino, the tinfilrittilate injit
was dead, and the child nearly so, and it soon breathed
its last

Chambers, mounted on the best of hunters: The start
took place on Maidenhead Thicket, to go to Bowney,.
on %S indsor Forest, between Bagshot and Chobbarn,
over heavy and difficult ground of about 12 miles. A
numerous field of sportsmen joined, but were sown at
fault. The competitors were in sight of each other on

Hull and Chambers left Wroisfseld chinch on the right,
and made direct for the King's dokkennei, and crossed
the Oakingliam road at the top of the. hilf'leading on to
the course. The last four miles separated the whole of
them, as the fences were too impregnable to cover a leap.
On the hill, half a mile from Buwney, Mr. Godard
was first seen advancing at full speed, and to the left
Mr. Hull was making full play fur home, and it was a
fine race between the two. When within. half a mule

and having occasion to go down s!•!iri to prepare supper, •
she was seized on at the stair-foot I a fellow, who clap- -
ped one hand to her mouth, to prevent her front calling
out, and dragged her to the kitchen, when she was
thteatened, that if she made the' smallest alarm, he
would cut her throat ; she was placed sitting on a chair,
and the villain stood over her, whilst two other roiliutis
ransacked every part of the kitchen, closets, &c. and
carried off a quantity of Russia -sheeting, table-linen,
hapkins, wearing apparel, seven sil.-er table-spooes, and
many other articles. The•villain COW over her tall the

blood from one of his fingers. The dog then ran to-
*arils Kentish-town, where two blacksmiths attacked

tually seised one of the irons in his mouth, made an.
impression on it with his. teeth; and struggled to reach

after much 'difficulty, in thrusting it down the animal's

BRIGHTON, MARCH B.—His Majesty is well and
/in the enjoymetit. of good spirits.
It has been erroneously asserted that. M. Manuel,
-the expelled Mcsiber of the. Chamber of' Deputies,
ris the person who, during the trial of Louis XVI.
-was Procureur Syndic of the Commune of Paris, an
office similar to that of Recorder in Englund. M. le
Procureur Manuel, however, was guillotined. The
present Patriot of that name was a short time in the
French army, but was afterwards called to the Bar,
and exercised the profession of an Advocate at Aix,
in Provence. It was there he became acquainted
with the celebrated Fondle, during his banishment
from Paris by Napoleon, in 1811 and 1812.
During the hundred days M. Manuel was a Mem-
Ler of the Chamber of Deputies, and displayed mach
eloquence; but was neither a friend to Napoleon I.
Igior to Nupoloon 11. .His ohject was to establish a
Republic. After the King's restoration, he was
called, and went to Brussels, where he resided a
year. When he was permitted to return to France,
lie repeatedly but vainly solicited to be received as
an Advocate at Paris.
Captain Sabiue, who accompanied Captain Parry
as astronomer in his voyage to Melville Island, pro-
ceeds directly t.. Spitsbergen, for the purpose of
tattling observations for determining the true figure
et' the earth, similar to those he has already made
o t the coast of Africa, the West Indies, and America.
The Griper gun-brig is fitting out at Deptford for
the conveyance of Captain Sabine.
Letters from Monte •Video of the 29th of Nov.,
announce the arrival of the Imperial squadron from
Rio de Juneirh, consisting of two frigates and
sloop of war, which are to convoy the troops across
the Line, in order th-t they might nut go to Bahia.
Commodore Lobo had joined the Imp2riul rquadnin.
Extract Irvin the agent at Smyrna, dated January
15 :—The Flora and Lovely Ana have returned
from Napoli di Romania, the Greeks not having
permitted them to enter. The Flora, in attempting,
With fired upon from a Greek battery, and the mate
haled. The garrison of Napoli di Rumania has
since surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation...-
Ms Majesty's frigute was there at the time, and
Captain Hamilton was upplicd to by the Greek chief
to prevent the capitulation being broken by his
troops, whom he was fearlid, from their being ex-
usperated, would massacre all the Turks, in number
ebout 4,000. Capt. Hamilton succeeded in saving
the whole, 500 of whom he brought here in the
Canehlian, and the remainder he caused to be em-
Larked in Greek vessels, to be landed at Sculanova,
utd its neighbourhood. The Turks were obliged to
capitulate from want of provisions, about 2,000 had
died in the garrison from famine."
