ceive how mach the public admiration of Mr.

duct, has increased since the developement of thew
abuse■ of charities, which now deservedly attract
so much attention. The philaxihropy of a certain

the load-eaters !"—(l6id.)

Friday being the day appointed by the Charter
for the election of • Mayor of Truro, the Corpo-
ration assembled for that purpose iu the Town
Hall. The Meeting was attended by Lord FAL-
SIoUTII, the Recorder. who with his family re-
turned on Saturday last from Dorsetshire to Tre-
; Virconnt EXMOUTH, and the whole of
the Corporate Body. JAMIS lisurn, Esq. was
elected Mayor. The business of the day passed off
iii the greatest harmony; and as soon as it was
finished, Lord EXMOUTH returned to Isis command
at Plymouth, and Lord FALMOUTH, with this Hon.
Colonel BOScAWEN, to Tregothrian.
On Tuesday evening, the 6th instant, about
seven o'clock. as Mr. Joon COLLINS, a carrier, of
ISowden, near Altrincham, Cheshire, was return-
log home from Manchester on horseback, he was
attacked about a mile front his house by two ra-
tline. One seized the reins of his horse and de-
manded bis money, at which Mr. COLLINS only
smiled, thinking it was not meant, as be recognised
this villain (Joseph !roar) to have been a short
time since in his service, bat immediately the other
inept up, and he was struck from his horse with a
stick ; he struggled for some time, but at length
was overpowered, and heat and kicked dreadfully,
and 13/. in notes taken from his person. Mr. Cot.-
I.INS said to Walker. " How can you bse me in
this manner, who always behaved kind to you?"
This, it is thought, was rather unfortunate. as
they then seemed more ansious to dispatch him, to
prevent a discovery, and crammed his mouth with
turf, and kicked him till they tl ght Ire was dead.
They then ran off. and in the hurry Walker took
Mr. Cui.ums's hat, mud left Ins uwo, which bra
been recognised by Mrs. Cowes to be the one be
had in their service. having ■ slit in the velvet at
the hack, done by his taking it in a hurry from a
mail in their lioupe. Mr. COLLINS recovering a lit-
tle, crawled to his home, where lie now lies very
much bruised, but, it is hoped, not dangerous.
Walker was taken ou Friday following ; he is a
outing young man, shout SW years of age. The
other is nos at present known, as Walker denies
the robbery. Mr. COLLINS is a very powerful
roan, 60 years of age, sod struggled with them for
some time, and at one time held both so fast, that
bad any taie been near they would have been then
boils taken. Mr. Cowles had fortunately deli-
vered most of the remittances from Manchester to
lit, servant, otherwise considerable property would
have beau taken from him.
