Mutiny, AT NoTrixonAss.---On Saturday night
the 19th ult. a young man, aged 19, of the name of
T:tnms, ao apprentice to a tradesman in Nottingham,
went from his master's house, and not recurring home
that night nor the following day, an inquiry was set on
fhot respecting him ; this becoming generally known,
a person who lived near the bridge which crosses the
liver Trent, about a mile south of Nottingham, remem-
bered that late in the above on'ationetl ereniag,•he
heard the cry of " artier' suveri.l times repeated by
somebody upon the bridge, and the man went out to
ascertain the cause, but it being dark, and bearing
nothiav further, he returned to his house t the father
of the n.issing► young man made known that his son had
's watch, amongst other things, about ; this reach-
ing the ears of a pawnbroker, lie was uhle to recollect,
that a soldier pawned • watch with him, which watch
was identified to be the property of the youth who had
been lost ; the pawnbroker fbrtunate!y knew the sol-
dier, and the latter, on being interrogatel, stated that
be bought the watch of two mat, which men he also
knew ; these latter two were apprehended, and not be-
ing able to give a satisfactory account how they be-
came possessed of the watch, they were kept in safe
custody, and during the whole of the succeeding week
diligent scorch was made in the river, but without the
Anticipated eKet, and a rumour, which gained univer-
sal credit, being propagated on Sunday week, that. the
young man had been seen alive in Derbyshire, the Ma-
gistrates were induced to liberate the two men they had
in hold; however, on the following day, the mystery
was unravelled, by the body of the unfortunate youth
being seen floating in the Trent, about two miles east
of Nottingham ; the corpse was taken out of the river,
and conveyed to the church of Holme Picrrepoint,. and
information thereof being immediately sent to John
Houseman Barber, Esq. the Mayor of Nottingham, he
itnmediu:ely despatched police officers in quest of the
two men who had been set tat liberty the day betlme,
end they were fortunately re-taken before they could
posNibly bear of the body of yomn Timms being fiumd.
There is no doubt that the unfortunate youth was rob-
bed, murdered, and then thrown into the river; a
dreadful blow seemed to have been inflicted obliquely
across the eve and nose, and the cartilage of the latter
was broken by its force. Au invest was hell on the
body on Tuesday, and a verdict returned of wilful
minter by some person or persons unknown. One of
the men in custody proves to be a son of Baintlml,
witorio::s Luddite, who was shot in the act of breaking
into a litruse, to demolish some frames, at Basfurd.

It is rumourei thut the Marquis of Hastings will
obtain from the Prince Regent the rank of Field Mar-
shal. His Lordship stands nearly at the head of the
list of General ()Ulcers in tl:e service, and the le jea-
lousy would therefore attach upon the above splendid
tribute to the magnitude of his achievements in the
East.
