Cloots received on Friday from the populace diii not turn out
quite so gratuitously as might have been expected. Coachey

had siiiteitied from the imcontrollable state of the Christian

the demand for two pounds.
Front the box of the chariot in which Mr. Hunt came to the
meeting, a tri-coloured flag (green, white, and red) was dis-
played, which bore these inscriptions ;—" Bread to feed the

punish crimes." 'flue flag Mr. Hunt frequently waived from

Among the events consequent open the uttack of Algiers
is rite following singular occurrence:—Ail inhabitant of
&Waite, who had been 26 years a prisoner, returned home;
and it appeared, after lie had beet' absent 15 years, three
fields its that town, of which lie was the owner, had been sold,
and part et' the Pavilion, awl some other principal houses in
that place, are How built upon them ; of course the absentee
has laid claim to the property, and no little confusion is likely
to ensue. -Prom Ikea/mower.
In the case of Towle, the twelve Judges have unanimously
decided, that the conviction of the prisoner is legal, and his
execution, it is supposed, will not be long delayed.
A horrid murder was lately committed at St. Mary Church,
Devonshire. R. Finset'' after murdering his wife by stabbing
her in the body, attacked his aged father (nearly 80), in the
saute manner, and, nu pposiu g lie had arcontplished his purpose,
left him weltering in his blood. With his hands reeking in
the blood of bis wife and father, the murderer attempted to
complete his atrocity by said& ; to effect which he stabbed
himself ill three different parts of his body, but not mortally.
The old man is likely to recover.
DEATH or. A POACHER.—Om the evening of Saturday
seamight, about 8 or 9 o'clock, a body of poachers, 7 in mini.
iter, assembled by mutual agreement the oil estate of the Hon.
John Deton, at Slierbone, Gloucestershire, for the purpose
of taking hares and other game. With the assistance of two
dogs, anti sonic nets and snares which they brought with
them, they succeeded its catching 9 hares, and were carrying
them away, when they were discovered by the gamekeeper,
and t others who were engaged with him patroling the
different covers, in order to protect the game from nightly
depredators. Immediately on perceiving the poachers, the
gamekeeper sniumoued them in a civil and peaceable man-
ner to give up their names, the dogs, implements, sic. they
had with them, and the game they load taken ; at the same
time assuring ;hem that his party had fire arms (which were
produced for the purpose of convincing and alarming Mein)
and representing to them the folly of resistance, as, in the
event of an affray, they must inevitably be overpowered by
superior numbers, even without tire arms, which they were
determined not to resort to, unless compelled in self-defence.
Notwithstanding this remonstrance of the keeper, the men
unanimously refused to give up on any terms, declaring
that if they were followed, they would give them a " brush "
and would repel force by force. The poachers then directly
took off their great coats, threw them down with the game,
ate. behind them, and approached the keepers in an attic:ide
of attack. 'A smart contest instantly ensued, both parties
using only the sticks or bludgeons they carried ; and such
was the confusion during the battle, that some of the keepers
were occasionally struck by their own comrades in mistake
for their opponents. After they had fought this manner
about 8 or 10 minutes, one of' the poachers, named Robert
Simmons, rescued a s iolent blow upon his left temple, which
felled him to the ground, where he lay, crying out murder,
and asking for mercy. The keepers Immediately very
humanely desired that all violence might cease on both sides,
upon which three of the poachers took to flight and es-
caped, and the remaining three, with Simmons, were se-
ctored by the keepers. Simmons, by the assistance of the
other men, walked to the keeper's house, where he was
placed in a chair; but he semis alter died. His death was no
doubt caused by the pressure of blood upon the brain, occa-
sioned by the rupture of a vessel from the blow he had rem ived.
The poachers who had been taken were committed to North-
leach prison. The inquest upon the body of Siliceous was taken
on Monday, before W. Ts igge, gent. Coroner ; and the above
account is extracted frino tier eviiknee given npon that occa-
sion. 'fbe poachers were all armed with bludgeons, except
the deceased, won had pros bled himself with the thick part
of a flail, made of firm knotted crab-tree, and pointed teL the
extremity. in order to thrust with, if occasion required. The
deceased was an athletic musculer man, very active, and
about 28 years of age. He resided at poste, Oxfordshire,
and has left a wife, bat no child. 'The three prisoners were
heard in evidence, and all concurred in stating that the
keepers were in no way blameable, and attribated their dis-
aster to their own indiscretion and imprudence. Several of
the keeper's party were so much beat as to be now confined
to their beds. The two parties are said to be total strangers
to each ether, consequently no malice iiropense could have
existed between them ; and as it appeared to the jury, alter
a most minute and deliberate investigation, that the coninsion
Miring the affray was so great, that the deceased was as like-
ly to be struck by someone of hisown party as be the keeper's,
they returned a verdict of—Manslaughter against wine per-
son or persons unknown.
MOAT DOGRACETUL Earosuac—Brock, who eonnuitted
Iltvicide in St. James's watch-hotter, was buried at the end of
Bridle lane, at two o'clock on Tnesihry. The body was de-
posited about two feet from the surface of the ground, and
during Tuesday there was meek murmuring amongst the in-
habitauts at the body being committed to the earth leclore
their doors, and at might the body was taken up by some per-
sons and left in the street. As 'might have been expected,
the place was a scene of riot and confusion, and the body
was dragged about the streets in the most disgraceful man-
ner, to the amusement ofetaine, and to the disgust of others.
Information was given at Marlborough-street of the hortid
circumstance, and, 'with the assistance of parish officers, the
body was conveyed to the work house, and Weduesday it
was wain privately committed .o the earth.
