Such a Derby Race.day was never outlawed by the oldest
frequenters of the turf. The rainy morning kept more than half
from there, who enjoy this tine race as a holiday. and Instead of
the first display in toe wand of equipage, beauty, and fashion,
the ladies were kept in their close carriages. expecting to be
blown over by the stormy dement; and as to the booths, many
were unroofed on the preceding night, and these left shared the
same hue this day, and sign-posts and canvas were flying in all
directions when the horses started.

Collery, convicted at last Sligo Assizes, of ribonism,
burglary, and robbery of fire-arms antlered the awful
sentence of the law in the front of the prison there.—
There was a vast assemblage of persons, among whom
the strictest order prevailed. For some time previous to
his execution the culprit evinced the utmost contrition,
and attained a frame of mind which befitted his situ-
ation. Having ascended the platform, lie addressed the
multitude—confessed his having deprived persons of
fire-arms, and thanked Providence that it arrested hint

in his wicked career. lle exhorted the spectators, as
they regarded the approbation of God, and the peace
and tranquillity of their fellow-creatures, to desist from
evil courses which brought him to his disgraceful end,
and which t, if persisted in, inevitably involve them
fa a similar fate.

BURGLARY AND Ansom.-00 Friday morning, about
half-past two o'clock (the Rev. Archdeacon Ciao ke
be-
ing then in Chester), one of the two female servants then
in his house at Codding,on, was alarmed by the dis-
charge of at pistol; she immediately got out of her
and proceeded to the room-door, but. on opening it, her
further progress was stopped by Immense volumes of
smoke, which proceeded from the staircase. She imme-
diately alarmed her fellow- nt, and fortnnately they
both succeeded iii effecting their escape through the
room window. The lower part of the house was at this
period entirely enveloped in flames, which were advanc-
ing rapidly to the roof; and it is conjectured that the
noise heard by the woman, which she thought like the
report of fire arms, proceeded from a loaded blunder
buss, hung sip in one of the luster apartments, to which
the fire hail gained access, and had discharged it. An
alarm was immediately given to the neighbouring villa-
gers, who, with a commeuilable pi ineptitude, hastened
to the spot, and exerted their utmost endeavour in pre-
venting the further progress of the devouring element :
stone intlividnals, in particuler, ran great personal risk
in attempting to save the property of their highly re-
spected pastor. Unfortunately their endeavours availed
but little: • few articles of furniture were rescued,
but the remainder of the goods, a valuable library of
divinity and inisseilaneous literature, the writings of the
family, and all the other important documents deposited
in the Rertouy, including the parish register, ate totally
destroyed. In the midst of this scene of destruction and
desolation, the most melancholy reflection is, that it has
been the work of a vile incendiary: the house was
minted during the night. and it is conjectured, on no
slight grounds, that the offender or utfenders set tire to
to the premises, to prevent a discovery of the crime,
reckless of the loss of life which might have remitted
front their diabolical act. The follows.% particulars will
enable our readers to turns an opinion me the subject—On
Friday inorningot bout eight o'clock, five hours after the
fire was first discovered (Cuddingion is needy eleven
miles from Chester), a man called at the house of a person
resident in Boughton, adjoining Chester, causing in his
hands two bundles, and requesting peranissiun to. lease
teem there for a shot t time. He did not, however, again
make his appearance; and, on being opened, they wear
found to contain a surplice, two gowns, • cassock, and
wearing apparel, the property of the Archdeacon. and
which had been lett at Coddington Rectory. The ',Wire
were immediately on the alert, and the man was traced to
a lodging-house near the Bars. He at first made his escape
through a window, but was putsued, overtaken, and
safely lodged in the Castle. On his examination* three
of the Archdeacon's shirts and a black waistcoat were
found on his back, which, he said, he had nurchased lama
an ltishmau. In his breeches pocket an. old seal was
discovered, which the man insisted was his own property,
although it had been for more than a century in the
Archdeacon's family. A pocket-book was also identified,
with other things sufficient to sanction his fuil commit-
ment fur trial at the Antunin Assizes. 'rue MAWS statue is
W. Riekington lie had formeily been in the service of a
respectable gentleman of Chester, and some thee ago
formed a conuexion with a girl then living in the Ards-
deacon's service, at Coddingtou. Being found in the
house there, at an unseasonable hour at night, lie was
turned out; the girl was alterwards discharged, and she
is new, we are told, pregnant by him. Her. name is La-
timer retve, utherwise SAis is also in custody.

On Wednesdayilast, the loth of. May instant, the
Commissioners of Appeals gave their final decision its
the case of Roger Coleman against Joseph Quelch,
grocer, of Dublin. The nature of the appeal was one
of peculiar singularity, and this singularity created
much interest. On Saturday the 24411 day of October,
1818, certain officers of his Majesty's Revenue entered
Mr. Quelch's house, and seizeti one cliest of tea as spin-
, riot's tea. A trial took place before the Commissioners
of Customs, which continued for .several days, when
they, after hearing evidence on butts sides, pronounced
judgment that the tea wasgenutile as imported into
this country from the India House. Against this judg-
ment the seizing officers appealed, and during the pre-
sent and two last Terms, the Commissioners of Appeals
were occupied, day after day, in hearing the.argutriznts
of Counsel. The unanimous judgment of the Court
was this clay pronounced, confirming the. judgment of
the Court below, and establishing that. the tea was ge-
nuine, and fairly imported front the sales at the intlia
House, and ordering the tea to be restored to Mr.
Queleli. We forbear to make any remark upon the
lojtiry that Mr. Q.ielch must have *tittered to property,

A must daring butglary was committed on Wed-
nesday night last, about eleven o'clock, at the house
of Mr. Thomas Homewood, a licensed victualler,
sign of the Hope Tavern, Phllard's-row, Bethnal-
green. The villains watched the opportunity of
Mr H. being busily engaged in the bar, serving his
customers, and placing a ladder against the bed-
rout window, entered. Mrs. Homewood having
occasion to go up stairs to the room, could not open
the door, and called Mr. H. to, burst it open, when,
to their great surprise, they found every closet and
drawer ransacked of their contents. It is supposed
the villains were in the room when Mrs. H. endea-
voured to open the door. The thieves succeeded in
escaping the same way they entered, taking with
then► cash, plate, and other articles, amounting :u
