lIER LATE MAJESTY.

The following is a sketch Of the speech of Sir
JnhaCox Hipposley. hart. on seconding the Address
of C Internee to the Prince Regent, at the Su-
C t Meeting, at Wells, ou Friday
er'noight. The extract of the letter read by 11:e
worthy B trout!, N understood to have been cum.
itititsicated to him by General Taylor, Treasurer to
the late Qiiren, mid Private Secretary to his Ma-
.),,ty. The worthy Baronet, alter having caps-
toiled at some lengsli upon ,he exemplary virtues
of her late Nlojesty, and p wicularly in reference
to her extended charities. was more strongly
impelled to this act of justice, because he scrupled
not to admit, that ;11 our period of his life, when he
had fewer advantages of authentic information, he
hail himself in some degree partaken of an erro-
neous opinion, which had been hut ton prevalent,
respecting that estimable put of her Mcj,ssty's cha-
racter, which at the present hour was universclly re.
cognised. But (as he observed) growth and pro-
gress of error were inseparable from the imperfection
of our nature, although its influence was not always
reproachful to the understanding or the heart.—
i" Whitt damned error," exclaims our great dramatist
sod hest painter of human matter, " bus some sober
brute trill bless it." Yet, the imperial's voice of
truth sooner or later asserts her reign; and, as in the
present 'finance, renders its unclouded homage to
the. insatiniable virtues of the illustrious Prescess,
woo now, Ilan! lies numbered atriongh he immortal
dead ! Deeply and generally, howeor, as this just
conviction is now impressed, he would, tiv,ertheles,,
beg permission to advert to a very recent and point.
ed testimony, derived front the best authority, that
on this occasion could be adduced : The charities
of thr Queen (Sir J. H. reading a letter) have beef'
mist extensive, although wholly free front ostenta-
tion. I do not believe that, during the whole course
of her issidenceiu this country,the close of the year
lots prndnerd a pecuniary balance in her Majest)'a
favnol ; and there is actually a debt, whiell must be
provoied for out of the sale of personals. Indeed, I
ass convinced, that the loss of her Majesty, as a kind
benefactres., and a supporter of objects deserving
of her bounty, will unfortunately be best appreciated
by the distress of sisiiiihers who looked up to her For
ever resource. There is in Bedfordshire one cha-
rity, to which alone her Majesty 1148 paid arnually
fire hundred pound*, for more than jffty years."--
Such is the grateful testimony drawn from the most
authentic suture. To a single charitable institti.
lion, a sum exceeding trcenty-fice thousand pounds
has hero devoted to her Nlajesty's brueticeoce. The
royal jewels, the appropriate decoration and appen-
dage of the Queen's exalted station, constitute the
asts fund from which the debt or about y,OOO/. in-
curred by her extruded charities, is to be liquidated.
The remainder is divided, I think, among the royal
progeny.

withstanding these dreadful wounds, he did not die
till the third day. As there was no appearance of
any robbery having been committed, it is sopposed
that hatred and revenge, excited by the harsh treat•
meta exercised by the deceased to his vassals, were
the motives of the crime. One of the domestics
has been arrested. This crime has excited the
greater sensation, as it is happily almost unheard of
among us in Mecklenburg, and we are very impa-
tient to have more particulars. Our peasants must
be driven to the last extremity, if they proceed to
execute vengeance themselves. It is hoped the cri-
minals will not escape their due punishment. May
this event serve as a warning to those who think
they have a right to torment the peasants in all
possible ways !—(Hansbargh Papers, Dee. 22.)

That the marriage took Ware clandestinely iu a Church

THUNDER STORM.

On Tuesday eveseing last, between the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of Step.
aside, within six miles of Dublin, was visited by a
thunder storm, which produced effects that sere,
happily, rare in this country. The electric flicd
struck the house of Christopher Borne, on the land*
of Ballymaduff; knocked down the chimney and
that part of the wall on which it stood, mid having
entered the house, shivered to at a settle bed in.
which two children lay. Such an agent, so violent
in action, might have been expected to produce
awful effects on subjects so exposed as these children
were. Happily, however, they received no injury
that will, it is hoped, be of any consequence—they
were both severely stunned ; one of them cositi tttt es,
in consesieure, still deaf; the hair of the bead, and
of the eyebrows and eyelids., is much singed—on her
head, neck, and body are several marks, sa if the
skin had been torn by a hot sharp instrument.—
The skin of the back of her neck and of the ad-
joining lout of the back appears as if singed.—
The other child was also for some time deaf, and
has tonne marks of burniag. In an adjoining cabin,
threat cows, tlw poor man's whole stock, were
found dead. When the spot was visited on Thurs.
day, their hides bad been taken off and their
carcasses dismernlwred, so that nothing satisfactory
could be seen as to the peculiar effects of the deadly
element on the animal body. The blood is said to
have been in a fluid state—the bodies emitted an
exceedingly putrid odour, although it was may the
second day after the accident. In one of them,
where the short ribs join the spine, a space ap-
proved as if 11 severe bruise had been inflicted, and
the blood.vessels and adjoining soft parts had been
charred. The annuals were found on their knees—
the cabin in which they were sustained no injury.
Bursae sa±s, that while the mischief was going on,
be saw three fire-halls roll on the fluor of his house,
and that when they becaine extinct, a strung sul-
phureous swell was perceptible.

We regret that the state of fever in many part%
of tare country. and we fear its Dublin ton, senders
precaution and preventive measures still isreessary.
The Winter es passing away. mud still the disease
continues; should it accompany us into the Spring,
we tremble fur the consequenees.—(Dublim Arra-

a-ioniser the Vice-Catiocat.toa this day
attended his Court for the last time previous to his
sastansing the- office of Master of the Bolls and
4leliverrel an elaborate judgment in the above. canoe.
it was a rase which had heels argued by Mr. Bell,
for the Plaisitslf. soul by lir. Blake for the De-
fendaust. soul had been instituted *o long ago as the
year 1793. It was it bill filed loy the creditors of
Nott. for an administration of his meta,
and to set aside a sale trade by I to his nephew.
the Defeo(taut, Joist Nott, of an estate situated
at Chichester. The sum given for the estate was
4,000/. but it was valued at the sum of 5.9001.
The question in the case was. whether the made-
gooey of the price • war sufficient to call CHI the
Coot to art aside the contract. on the ground
of the insatirencv of the grantor at the time of
the wale. The VicesCheucellor varied very ini-
routely into the history of the case. His Ho-
nour observed. that the inadequacy of the price.
in order to affect a sale made by an insolvent
person. to the prejudice of hia creditors, must be
so apparent. as at the first view of it to shock the
conacience of every one who contemplated it ; it
' must be quite disproportionate to the value ; but
in the press-in case, it wits iinpossible. looking at
all the evidence, to ascertain whet wit., the preei,e
value of the rotate in question at so rysnote a period
as the 'ear 1793, when the trsioiaction took !dace.
He apprehended if he referred the matter to the adass
ter toast...rutin by inquiry what was the value at that
'levied, the difficulty and the expenie would be more
than commensurate to the object. He took an entitle
review of all the cases on this subject at the time of
Lord Eldon, and cited his Lordlop's opinion in
favour of, a sale made to the prejudice of cre-
ditors soder circumstances somewhat similar to
the present. ILTiron the whole, he did not think it
• transaction which at this distance of time lie ought
to newsgirl ratid he was of opinion, that the Plain-
tiff had not made oust a cast sufficiently strong to
induce him to set aside the contract, though tirade
by an insolvent person ; and, entertaining this opi-
nion, it was his duty to dismiss the bill.

them to be at half-past one nn the road

all drank sonic. He advised the chasseurs to
stain their facer', and to put their shirts over
their clothes. Thus disguised, they proceeded
on their criminal expedie . It was two o'clock
when they arrived at Mr Hervey's house, and
gut over the outer wall. Lervot, who had pre-
viously examined every thing, threw some meat to
Mr. Hervey's dog. They then raised a ladder io
the back of the house, by which they entered the
chamber where Mr. Hervey was sleeping with his
wife and child. Lervot struck him with a stick, at
which Mr. Hervey jumped up, and the light being
then extinguished, all was confusion.
This statement was corroborated by Mr. Hervey.

the accusation. Gaguenot and Fournier persevered
in their original confession, but Mittlelnoime, the
third chassrur, continued to deny his share in the
crime, although he was earnestly addressed by the
Marquis dr le Thaurette, Lieut.-Colonel of the

HORRID MURDER NEAR RUTHIN.

On Thursday evening, the 10th inst. about half past four
o'clock, Thomas Morris, a shepherd, found the hotly of a
person with evident marks of having been nturdeleil, ut

twenty years old. His dress Co. • ed of a reil and white
cotton handkerchief around his neck, with a pad eitelosed -
in it, a black and white striped waistcoat nest his shirt, on
that a drab fustian wasitcoat, and over both, a scarlet
waistcoat ; • blue coat with yellow buttons, a pair .of
thickset breeches, drab-coloured gaiters, blue worsted
stockings, and a good pair of shoes. A mem., with the
name of " Meaghan" on the handle, was afterwards dis-
covery' near the spot where the deceased was found ' • snit
the letter " W" at one extremity of the haft, was alatt to
be seen The cuff belonging to a great-coat, similar to
those generally worn by the lower order of Irish, was found
near the razor: the cuff and razor hone masks of blood A
great-coat, corresponding in colour and quality viol' the
ruff,'which had been turn off, was also found • shunt dis-
tance above the place where the deceased lay, who is sup-
posed to have been an Lishman.
A Coronet's toquest was held on Saturday last, but it was
thought advisable to adjourn it until this day, by which
time it is sincerely to be 'mord, that some held will be
thrown upon a transaction at once so horrid and melan-
choly. The Magistrates, and other principal inhabitants of
the town of Ruthin, met yesterday, for the purpose of
ntsti-
tuting every necessary inquiry connected with the subject,
entertaining sanguine hopes that their combined expitiotia
may ultimately lead to the detection of the guilty party.
