HAY lARKET.
A new comic, or rather farcical sketch was brought out
on Saturday evening, entitled The Fair Deserter. The
merits of this little article are of an humble kind; its tex-
ture being light, its humour low, and its novelty by no
means unquestionable. A Captain Dasiwil (Dttruset) and
a Miss Lydia (Miss Macalpine) are in the predicament in.
which most lovers find themselves at the opening of a play,
viz. at their wit's end how to come together ; one Timothy
Hartshorn (Mr. Watkinson), guardian to Lydia, having
given orders to his lawyer to prepare a marriage-contract
between himself, Timothy, and his youthful ward, which
contract he resolves shall be carried into effect the
ing day ; , and in the mean time he takes the common,
though very often fruitless, precaution of locking up all
his doors. Dashalts servant, Trap (performed by 'rac-
y), disguised us the cook who was to dress the wed-
diug-ainner, accosts Mr. Hartshorn as he is coming out
of the house—gains admission to Lydia, to whom he con-
veys a military dress—steals the of the hall-door-
lurks Hartshorn out of his own house—runs to fetch a.
locksmith—personates the locksmith—quarrels with Ti-
mothy almut the price of the job, and leaves him still in
the street. Mr. Hartshorn, in despair, sets a huller to
the window, and, in the act of climbing, is seized by
Dashall and a file of soldiers as a house-breaker ; but on
deriaring his name, the officer announces that he has •
warrant against him fir secreting a deserter, and insists
upon searching the house, when I.:ldia is fottul in her
soldier's pm') ; and the old fellow, under fear of lei ,l
punishment, and the further apprehension that the young
deserter had been concealed there as the lover and hy tho
maavnnent of his ward, gives his consent to her marry.
ing Da.vhall, whose father, commanding. officer of fly,
garrison, is represented also by Mr. Trap, and frightens
poor Timothy into any terms.

CASE OF GE V. SIR EYRE

TE.

A Pamphlet, under the above title, is now in circula-
eon. It has been t *ovredly compiled by the friends of
the individual, who has of late been the subject of much
conversation, but whose conduct has until now been
wrapt up in mystery. It is intendedas a defence; and
although severahlocuments are with that view suppress-
ed, it contains evidence of improper and gross conduct
on the part of Sir Eyre Come sufficient to justify the
steps lately taken by the Executive Government respect-
iag him. It appenrkl from the evidence of several boys, a
se, and other persons belonging to Christ's Hospital,
that so fir back as two years betbre, he had twice enter-
ed the Mathematical School, and conducted himself in a
very improper manner; but no particular notice wax
taken of his extraordinary behaviour until the '2sth of
November last; when he went into the school-room,
and entered into conversation with several of the boys,
prevailing on some of them, by bribing. them with money,
to* whipped by hips, and afterwards permitted them to
exercise the like discipline on hiniself. Mrs. Robinson
one of the nurses, entered the room, expressed her sur-
prise and indigtsation, and sent for the beadle, who took
*him to the Compter. On the following Monday Sir E.
Conte appeared before the Lord Mayor, and being pri-
vately examined at the Mansion-house his Lordship dis-
missed the complaint ; and there is a letter from him to
the Duke of York bearing his testimony to the fact.
Sir William Curtis, at the time however of this investi-
gation said, that though acquitted of guilt, Sir Eyre
Come ought to pay for his fully, and suggested that he
should present 10001 to the charity. This Sir Eyre
Come objected to do, because it might be attributed to an
improper motive, and might be considered as a compro-
mise instead of an act of benevolence ; but ultiwately
yielded to the pmponl, and sent a draft for 10001. hta
blank cover to the Treasurer of the Hospital. This draft
was returned by the Almoners, on learning front what
source it came. Five months after dais the Commander
in Chief instituted an inquiry into the case, upon which
above tit) Noblemen and Gentlemen bore testimony to
the occasional derangement in the fliculties of Sir Eyre
Coote, and that it was in some degree hereditary in the
flintily. The Board of General Officers appointed by
the Commander in Chief made a Report unfavourable to
Sir Eyre Coote. This Report is as follows:

"May 17, 1816.
"It appeareto rt, from a careful examination of the decla-
rations of the different persons examined at the Mansion-house
on the Itith of April :Intl 15th of iblay, Ist as also of the do
cuments furnished by Col. Bagwell (numbered from 1 to 27
in-...sive), to be established:
1. That Gen. Sir Eyre Coote was detected at Christ's
Hospital, on a Saturday afternoon in the month of November
List, under the cirenmstances detailed in evidence.
" 2. That he had been there betine on the same errand.
" 3. That, although there is ample testimony of very ec-
centris.antl incoherent conduct, amounting perhaps to derange-
( mem of mind, yet, at the period when the aforesaid discovery
occurred, he seems to have had such possession of himself as
to be fully seu•.ible of the indecency of the proceeding, ao•f
capable of adopting the most grounded and prudent means to
avoid further disclosure.
(Signed) " LvnEDOCI, Lieut. Gen.
"H. FATS!., Major-Gen.
" GEO. cooas, Major-Gen.
Upon this Report Sir Eyrc Coote was deprived of his
regiment, and of his military rank and honours.
Such is the substance of the pamphlet that has just
made its appearance, and which contains no less than
be, octavo pages. The degradation which Sir E. Coote
has since experienced is universally known.

Tor LATE CONSPIRACIES.—it will be recollected, that
the circumstance which first called the attention of the
iotigistratcl to the conduct of the °dicers originated in
an apilicatirn male t, Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor, by
Vaughan, to go to Union-hall to defend G. Hubbard,
wh ) was charged wi:h robbing a Mr. Richardson of his
watch and .!'.eals. Hubbard W:t3, mh Tuesday last, tried
scud acuitted at Guildford; though there is a man now
in cus•oly on a charge of receiving Mr. Richardson's seals
from Hibbard, knowing tJaem to be :inlen.—Hall the
(Meer, b:ing at Guildford at the time Hubbard was ac-
eniaed, declared he would again take him into custody
es soon as he was discharg•d. This coming to Hubbard's
'knowledge, he applied to Mr. Serjeant Best, befi)re whom
'lv^ was tried, for protection. The Judge sent f r Hall,
to know the grounds me which he presumed to detain a
man whit had been aaptitted.—Hall said it was a charge
entirely''oew. In the course of the investigation which
hal taken pleee before Mr. Nares, it appeared that two
men, named Flannaghap and Mars, were now suffering
punishment on hoard the Hulks, having been convicted
s• the la .t K itigSkOn Assizes of a burglary. The enqui-
ry into Ratliven, the Patrole's conduct, had, however,
given rise to a suspicion that they were not the persons
who had committed the burglary, but that Hubbard tt.:,-
-tutdly broke into the house.—The Learned Judge, on
bearing this statement, commended Hall 14 his conduct,
who accordingly, as soon as Huhbard was discharged,
agaia apprehended him, and took him before Mr. Cham-
bers, at Union-hall; who, on hearing thepartieulars, di-
rected the Officer to take the prisoner befLre Mr. Nares,
by whom be was remanded till Wednesday next.
Lily ii6zabeth Whitbread has taken Grove-house,
Kmsington, which is undergoing great improvemenn
* d alto-ations, preparatory to her Ladyship's receptiots.

RIOT IN NEWG.ITE.

Yesterday afternoon, a serious riot broke out among the
convicts in Newoute, originating, we understand, atvfodows :
Ayeraon, who an, visiting the prison, had his pocket picked
tit his watch, upon which an order wee issued by the keeps
for searching, the convict*, as well as those of their friends who
were then with them, and that tto other visitors should be ad-
mitted until the watch aas recovered. The convicts on this
part of the prison, who amounted in number to 110, chose to
consider this order as an encroachment on their privileges, and,
eut!toldesnal by their numbers, not only resisted all search, linf
proct-edial to acts of violence and outrage. They took pos-
session of the common yard, whore they are allowed to take
cam else, and sec thcr Meads, as well as the four wards where-
in they are confined, expelling by force the officers and tutu-
keys of the prison from that quarter of the building. Here
they endeavoured to maintain themselves, and considerable
alarm for some time prevailed, lest they should force the pas-
sages of the prison, and make their escape; but Mr. Newman,
the keeper, having assembled all his (Myers, several shots
were fired over their heads, and into different parts of the
yard, rather with a view to create atarni amount them, than to
inflict ally real inatity, which the Teeper was linuainely anxious
to avoid; and at length they were driven out of the yard into
the tipper part of their wards, of which they remained in pos-
ses.' having torn down the iron railing of the staircase, with
the fragmeuts of which, and all !hut they could lay their
tided* upon, they barricaded the entrance to their wards
at the top of the stairs. The beepers having regained p0.,-
session of the yards, several shot were again fired up the
stairs, to intimidate and reduce the rioters to reason, but
with nu (Meet; and Mr. Newman thought that it would
be only iiskiug the lives of his own servants it' he Sllnt
any of them up stairs to attack the convicts in their retreat,
barricaded as they were and provided with iron bars. We
have not heard that any of these infatuated wretches were
kided by the tire-arms. One couviet who ventured to come
down from the tipper wards, in order to lay hold of an iran
bar, was seized by the legs, and dragged into the yard by the
turnkeys. Mr. Newman, MIOII after the riot broke out, procur-
ed the,assistance of the city marshalenen and a number of yen-
stables, whom he so placed as to prevent the rioters from break-
ing prison, or escaping io any was by the roof. He also sent
to the Lord Mayor and Sherifi's for instructions how to set ;
but these gentlemen happened to be out of town. 'flue watch,
toe robbery of. which has created all this disturbance, was not
discovered; and we undenstansl that the couvicts endeavoured
to capitulate, by proposing that they iilistatil be at all times al-
lowed to see their friends : but the keeper WTl:reed that they
must implicitly submit to the regulations on this head appointed
by the Magistrates and dodges. At one o'clock this ;horn-
ing matters remained precisely in this situation. In two of the
wards all we. silent ; but in the other two there were lights,
and the convicts were seen pacing about. About an hour be-
fore, a noise was heard, as if they were endeavouring to break
through the wall towards the College ef Physicians in Warwiek•
lane, but in a short time the noise ceased. Constables and of-
ficers were posted in all !farts where escape appeared posstole ;
and it scented likely that the refractory wonld soon ha compelled
to surrender at discretion, as they had tiothti.g but water
wherewith to support their obstinacy ; while, if they attempted
to set fire to the prison, they must fief that they themselves
would be the first victims.

The arms and honours of Mr. Justice Parke have lately
been affixed in Lincoln's Inn Hall ; ins is usual when any
member of that Society is raised to the Bench of Judges.
The motto to his arms is—" Propieloake me commilio."

Prompt, front Leith arrived an the river ma
Sunday sennight, with 21 convicts, to be put on hoard the
hulks, preparatory to tratirportation. The convicts were, us
meal. confined in the hold. When the vessel was a little below
Gravesend, Aix of them, who had contrived to secret tiles, by
morns Of which they got rid of their irons, suddenly bur•t open
the hatches, and rushed upon deck. At this time there were
only two of the crew upon deck ; but being stout fellnws, and
seizing the first weapons that Celine in their way, they kept the
villains at bay until their coinrades came to their assistance;
when, after a short conflict, the desperadoes were colusigned to
their former abodes, where they were properly secnred. There
were several pw-sengers on board the Prompt, who were great-
ly alarmed, as the mutineers threatened to minder them as well
as the crew.

Extract of a letter from BunfoOt, near Langholm
(Diunfrieshire), dated the 16th August:—
" As your two sisters, who had accompanied you to Carlisle,
were yesterday returning to Langholin, in an open carriage, 4
Onsider cloud, or rather water.spont, burst upon Irvin hill.
'flue wood that overhangs the E.k apncare.l in ail instant as if
growing in a lake ; the road was overflowed, every little brook
swelled into a torrent, arid the thunder and lightning became
trememlow. The coachmen, seeing no safety but in escaping
front the desolation around him, drove furiously along. He
had emir bridges, over the brooks and ravines which crosses
the road, to pass. The wheels of the carriage were hardly
off the 1:41 of Mein when it gave way, and the alarm which its
littering gave the travellers was increased by the lightning
having split, at nearly the snore moment, a large oak tree a ;M.
in a few yards of them. I have just come hack from surveying
the scene of desolation, and can hardly )et understand how
they escaped. The road for several miles is entirely carried
away ; all the bridges are broken ; and in the one which burst
at the moment the carriage passed it, the waters !lave left a
chasm between en and 60 feet deep. The effect of this storm,
which lasted from a quarter past two o'clock till within a
quarter of four, appears incredible. In the um row spot ss here
it raged. upwards of a thousand trees have been torn up b, the
roots; and molt was its violence, that of the stones char formed
the materials of the wall on the road-side anti of the bridges,
hardly a vestige remains."
SIIOCKINO OCCURRENCE.—On the 7th ofinne. as a Mrs. ['Utley
was riding acmes the Gum Swamp. in North Camlina, where the
a,ter was, but little more than knee deep, the beast on which she rode
wa, stuwked by an allikitor, and ir..the struggle. Mrs. Batley waa
thrown; and the moment site fell, the monster istizeal, bit, and WU--
giol her most horribly, of which wounds she died on the Loth of June.
Her husband mid brother, who were near at hand, ran to her assist-
ance, and in rescuing the woman, one of the men re :rived a blow from
the alligator without sustaining much injury, and mler shooting seven
or eight times, they succeeded in killing he measured tt feet
iii length.
THE Ilictt storm STEAM-MIAT —in information has been ex-
hibited at this oilice by th., ‘Vatterman'a Company, ag uni't the pro.

VERY EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.

At the Mayo Axsisee, Honor Heacy was put upon trial' charged
with the willful (11111141er, on the lath of Mey last, of the daughter
of .1. Joyce, of W eetawn a ehild aged eight years, and with re-
ceiviag money under fala. pret -aces,
J. Jot ee.the prosecute. ,iworn.—Said,lie became auquanted
with the paisuuer when severely afflicted waft rheumatism,
seven wattle before the murder charged in the indictment, in
consequence of being infurnted of her skill in the insnamment
of various diseases ; that in prescribing for him, chic vi ected
hint to purchasa• six-peney worth of arsenic, which he did, and
mixed it with other ingredients, and applied it, without success,
to the part affected.
Sarah Joyce sworn.—ls mother of the deceased child
goner came to her house on the night preceding her
death ; she took the child in her lap, and kissed her ; she
ap-
peared to he i iiiii \ieated. and was offered a bed, nhich she
accepted : in the morning, at nine o'clock, she scat the child to witness,
who was at a neighbour's boost, saying she wanted to sec her witness
mute, and asked the prisoner what she wanted. Prisoner replied, that
it was only to tell her what the might lone told before, but she did not
wish to alarm her, vie. that her child was to die 6°6h—that she would
eet sick within-two hours, and die before six o'clock that evening-'-that
at all events, elsept she (the prisoner) could save them, the father or
the child should die—and she put it to the witness which she would ra-
ther lose, her husband or her child ? Witness replied, that if either
lutist go, she would wish the child to be the one • but asked why she
should say her tine little girl, that was in good health, was to die rla
prisoner answered, that, although she sapposed she saw her very well,
it was not her child that was there at all, but her shadow,, as the child
had been (wet-looked-0 sups rstitious eeprewion in use amongst the ig-
rant).—Witness consented to put the chikl under the pries ner's care;
• witness immediately went to sou thee child, and found her very ill and
severely griped ; die soon afterwards discharged quantities of green stuff
from both her stomach and bowels: witness told prisoner how the child
was affected, who replied. it was so best, and that those were the pro-
per symptoms. The prisoner then directed witness to get 28 half-
crown pieces, and to tales them and the child towards Nlerrisk, about
four miles front Westport, where the money wits to be th.lown against
the wind : and if it was ten ivcd, the child wouldliee, but if not, she
certainly would die. Witness accordingly procured the money, and.
accompanied by the child's aunt and the primmer, scrout as directed.—
W hen they came to a small river near Murrisk, the prisoner infornied
the aunt that she should return home; for that if the passed the river,
she would be in as great danger as the child : she therefore returned,
and the prisoner then called to witness for the 2 8 half-crowns, with
which she ran away furiously out of sight. Upon her return. being
asked what she had done with the money, she answered, that she had
thrown it against the wind—that it had been received—sand that the
child would recover. The prisoner who brought home the child, who
continued all the way in great agony, Laying out for drink, which was
si palled from every pool of water they passed : the erneuations of green
tel. /Wee matter were frequent, and the child now complained princi-
pally of her throat, which she aid was burning. Witness proposed to
prisoner to call ins physician, to which prisoner objected, saying, " For
what did I roues front Castlebar last night, at ten o'cloak, but to :Ave
your child ?" She died about six in the evening.
Brides t Muegens, maid-servant, confirmed much of what had been
sworn by tile fowler witness: and added, that the child slept with her
the night before her death ; that she gut up and went to school, from
whence she returned at nine in the morning, in perfect health : prisoner
called to witness about that hour for a jug of water ; the child came to
her afterwards for more water for the prisoner ; and again for a to -cup
and some salt for her, all of which she guve.
Honor M•Greal, the child's aunt, corroborated all that come within
her knowledge of the foregoing facts; and further stated. that the pri-
soner told her that a girl in the town had n the child ern e,-;1 rye
that she would recover if a piece of the girl's gown was burnt and given
the child to drink. This was also done; the child died soon after.
when the prisoner fell into a lit, foamed at the mouth, threw out some
blood and was very violent.
Surgeon Nicholson, of the South Mayo Militia, saw the child dead,
and has no doubt that her death was occasioned by poison—by arsenic,
be believed—but, upon opening the body, he could not discover a par-
dcle of it.
It. Kelly proved, that he lodged in the prisoner's house in fits:deb:tr,
during the last election ; that in a quarrel with her husband, who is
since dead, she nil she would have satisfaction, and put an end to his
life in a short time ; site then took a tea-cup full of water, and taking
mei from her boecen., with powder of white or yellow colour in it.
mixed some of it in the cup ; the husband Hung it against the wall.—
Witness asked prisoner what she had put into the cup. She replied.
as much poison as would kill a hundred men. Ile asked what she
would have done if she hail poisoned the man. She said, if he had
taken it, she would have cured him. Witness took up the paper, and
gave the powder that remained in it to a dog, which died shortly after.
Here the prosecution entkel, and the whole auditory appeared to have
been stnick with horror at the itinnense turpitude of the prisoner's con-
duet. There was nu defence made—no Counsel employed for the pri-
loner—nor any croas-examination of the witneeses thst had been pro-
duced against her. The unfortunate woman was not, however, alto-
gether abandoned : every favourable suggestion that presented itself,
every argument that could be advantageously relied on for the pre-
servatioe of her life, was humanely brought forward by the Judge
(W. C. Smith, Bart.)in an impreesive charge to the Jury. His Lord-
ship argued, that es:denee was entirely circumstantial, and should not
be received as conclusive ; that there was no direct testimony that the
prisoner had administered any draught to the deceased; that it was de-
cidedly her interest to 'preserve the child's life ; that so far from har-
bouring malice towards thc deceased, there was evidence that she had
caressed and fondled her; that she certainly did not contemplate the
crime of murder ;and that, as the Counsel for the prosecution had laid
the intdinnent in two ways, it might be concluded, that even they
felt it would be difficult to sustain this charge : and further, that when
the child dicelathe prisoner laid fallen into a fit, not fictitious, but real;
and lawly, that it was very doubtful whether the prisoner was in a bar.*
state of mind.

These were the paints principally dwelt upon by the Learntd Judge,
toga rid of the capita charge. His Lordship thought that the indict-
ment for raisin..:. money under false pretences was supported, and a
con% ieti,n for cher Oilier. would he justifiable.
The Jury retired for about to minutes, when they retruned a verdict
of G•tilty upon both indictments.
l'he prisoner way then sentenced to he hanged on Thursday last ;
but the Judge on tlutt morning respited the execution till the bth of
Sep haulier.
