some on, suggested that the prisoner should be committed for
felony, and nut for misdemeanour. It was right be said, that
the public should know. that by the statute of Geo. 11. it was
not necessary that any property should be obtained in conse-
quence of using a linen% to constitute the felony. The bare
rising the threat, with the view of obtaining money, being iu
itself sufficient ; and he iustanced two cases iu which he had
himself bsen concerned, where parties under seek ciicum-

Upon this authority Sir Janes SIMI directed the prisonsr to
be committed to take his trial for the capital offence.
Cuntous APPLICATION.—A decent lookin; young man,
apparently strongly agitated, was brought up as disorderly.—
Ile had, it seems, been married just live months, and last
Wednesday Isis beloved wife was safely delivered of a line
chopping buy. On this unhappy discovery of h s wife's frail-
ties, the passion of the deceived husbant broke all bounds,
and lie had conducted himself with a violenee bordering on in-
sanity. On first entering die room after the discovery, lie was
an intensely infected, that lie went into a violent lit of hysterics,
in wind' state he remained upwards of two hours, and be had
since been so dreadfully agitated iu his whole behaviour, that
his landlady. partly fur his sake, as well an for her own per-
sonal security, found it neeesiary to give him in custody. Sir
James Straw treated him with great kindness, and upon his
promise to reliant from going to the house, at least 'mail his
wife should Ire able to bear his reproaches without danger to
the lives of herself and offspring, directed him to be dis-
inherited.
A person in the neighbourhood of Wisbeach, of
the name of NVinkley, was taken into custody last week on •
Charge of sheep stealing, whose apprehension was attended
with some shocking circumstances. A farmer had lost 14 sheep,
which wets supposed to lie stolen, and suspicion falling on this
person, a warrant was hewed for Iris apprehension. The farmer
who had lost the sheep, attended by a canashcble, called at the
suspected person's house, when his wife informed them he bad
just gone down the grounds. They went there in search of
him, ■nd as soon as lie saw them, lie took to night, but being
eleaely pursued, he threw himself into a dyke. However,
fin.:ing there was not water sufficient in it fur his purpose, he
drew a knife and stabbed himself in dilferent parts of the holly.
lEv,.n after they had secured him, and were takirig Trim off in a
cart, lie attempted it,ntin to destroy himself by thrusting the
knife into Iris body. Ile was taken to a public house at ‘Vulpole,
where lie lies ill of his wounds ; and though sonic of them are
serious, they are not expected to prove mortal. Winkley was
■ man of respectable character and of cousideraLle business,
and among the last that would bare been suspected of sheep
stealing.

ROBBERY OP THE Irswtc•t negocia.
tion has been for some time on foot between the
thieves who robbed the Ipswich mail-coach of the
notes of Alexander and Co. to the amount of 31,1901.
and some persons upon the part of the Bank. The
thieves had signified, soon after the robbery took
place, that the risk they ran, and the ingenuity their
exercised in this hazardous undertaking, entitled
them to a very great part of the sum they had made
themselves masters of, and they made an exorbitant
proposal to the concern, undertaking to restore the
whole of the notes, upon the payment of no less a
sum than 6,0001. in sovereigns, and an indemnity
fr,nn all charges or demands. A refusal was given
to the monstrous offer of composition, and the thieves,
who were not afraid of detection, seemed careless as
to the rejection of their terms, being men who have
already made fortunes by enterprises of the kind,
and perfectly well able to try the patience of those
who are so unfortunate as to come within their
reach. The efforts of the firm for the recovery of
their notes were not remitted in consequence of their
knowledge of the determined spirits of the gang to
make the best of the robbery. The sum of 3,0001.
was offered to them, upon condition that they would
forthwith return all the notes, and the principals of
the concern gave it to be understood that no larger
offer should be made, and that the police should
ci,:nmence their operations without delay, if those
terms were not acceded to. The gang replied that
they had already sent 3,000% iato, circulation, and
that as that tnoaey was quite out of the tuestion
they must lock to some profit fret% the notes still in
their possession, and they accordingly demanded
3,0001 more as a recompense for their loss if they
were to give up all they had risked their lives to ob-
tain. For some days the negotiation was kept up,
but the bankers were playing a deeper game than
the thieves. In all those places where their notes
were in great circulation there was a " calling in,"
and it was pretty well ascertained at the time that
none of the stolen property had been circulated ; the
report to that effect having been made to those so
deeply interested for the purpose of showing that
they were not to be trifled with. On Thursday
bills were posted on the walls, offering a reward of
5,0001. to thus.; who will give information either at
Alexander's and Co.'s, or at Frv's and Co.'s S..
Mildred's-court. Poultry, so that the parties may be
apprehended and convicted, and the property reco-
vered : ::0001. have been offered upon conviction of
the parties without the recovery of the property, and
the public have been requested to take no more of
the Black Ink Notes of the Ipswich Bink without
well knowing the persons from whom they receive
them, as Alexander and Co. hail instructed their
bankers in London to refer those who present such
notes to themselves at Ipswich. The colour of the.
copper-plate has been changed from black to red ;
and at Fry's banking-house on Thursday some notes
of the Ipso ich bank, which were presented by
strangers were stamped with the words " Stolen—
referred to Alexander and Co. Ipswich." These
notes were returned to the persons who presented
them, and it is calculated that the gang cannot
pass more than a couple of hundred pounds worth
of the paper, as-a general terror of the black notes
predominates every where.

NIADAME SAQUI OUTDONE.—At the entrance of
Isabel of Bavaria into Paris, wife of Charles VI , a
Bavarian fastened a rope from the top of the tower
of Notre Dame to one of the houses within the
Change Bridge; he descended dancing upon the
rope, with a lighted flambeau in each hand; he
passed between the blue taffeiy curtains,ornamented
with large goiden fleurs-de-lis, which covered the
bridge; he fixed a crown upon Isabel's head, and
re-ascended upon his rope into the air. The chroni-
cle adds, as this was done in the night, he was seen •
in all parts of Paris and its environs.
It is with unfeigned regret that we have to an-
nounce the death of Charles, the youngesi son of
Colonel Dixon, of Itainham, Norfolk, which took:
place on the 11th ult., ut Megrim, near Lausanne in
Switzerland, and was occasioned by his gun going
off accidentally, while lie was stepping into his car-
riage, by which the whole charge was lodged in his
side below the heart.

The Marquis of Titchfield, that tn..). independent
and patriotic young nobleman. took an opportunity
of declaring at the Corporation Dinner at Lynn,
that the recent appointment of Mr. Canning, who
stands in u degree of affinity to his Lordship, being
married to his aunt, will make no alteration in his
Lordship's polilical sentiments, but that we will
still remain an oiyonent of Ministers. This assn-.
ranee must prove truly gratifying to the country, in
which his Lordship h.i. excited sanguine hope and
expectation.

Three o'clock, p.m.
We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday
by express, of which the following are extracts
PARIS, OCT. 4.—111 s !Majesty, on the report of
the Garde des Sceaux, has commuted into 20 years'
imprisonment in the case of Fradin, and 15 years in
imprisonment in the ease of Sennechault, the punish-
ment of death to which these two accomplices of
Berton bad been condemned.
The In:ke of Wellington left Augsburg on the
27th; he expected to arrive at Vienna the 30th.
A letter limn Grenada of the 14th ult. states,
that the celebrated Riego had arrived in that town
on tl.e 13th, and had been received with the great-
eat honour. He was preceded by the national
guard, horse and foot. The city had built a trium-
phal arch befiire the square of the Constitution. Oa
his passage under the arch, crowns of laurel were
-thrown upon him. Ile went to his hotel amidst the
acclamations of a people who admire hint. la the
evening an extraordinary spectacle was given in his
honour—all the magistrates, all the officers of the
maimed army, and all the belles of grenada, added
by their presence to the splendour of*the triumph.
17.—Since the arrival of some
persons belonging to the Court of the Viceroy at
tolilan, the preparations fin' tine reception of the Sa-
•vereigns and their Ministers have been catricil on
with increased activity. Our city never had such
an animated appearance. The troops which are to
increase tl.e garrison during Congress will shortly
arrive. Several hotels and large houses are already
hired at very high prices for the last three months of
the year.
We have just learnt that expresses have been sent
to the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Par-
ma, to the Prima Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of
Modena, with an invitation to come to Verona RI
the same time as the Emperors of Austria and Rus-
sia, and the Kings of Prussia and Naples:
The Archduke Reynier, Viceroy of Lomb:tray and
Venice, is expected here in a few days, with the
chief officers of his Court.
SCHAFFHAUSEN, St PT. 19.—During the course
of the month several st.perior officers of the Swiss
troops, who have served in Spain, have arrived in
Switzerland. Those among them who had desired
leave to retire entirely from the service, iu order to
pass the remainder of their lives in their own coun-
try, are to receive a pension equal to half' their pay;
all those who choose to remain in Spain arc to have
places according to their ranks in the Spanish regi-
ments.
FRANKFORT, S; PT. QB.—The restoration of the
Order of Malta is again spoken of us likely to be
propesed to the Congress at Verona. It is thought
the proposal will be supported by the King of Na'..l.i:es and the Plenipotentiary of the Pope, and in or-
der to interest the great Powers in favour of the
Order, it is intended to offer the Grand Mastership
to an Austrian Archduke.
The most difficult point would be to find a resi-
dence ter the Knights; the island has been long
since in the possession of the English, which the
British Goverment is certainly not inclined to part
with, on account of its importance in the Mediterra-
nean.
The Prince Royal of &traria left Wartzburgh on
the 24th for Munich, whence he will go to Tagun-
see, where the Emperors of Russia and Austria are
expected.
TRIEIiTF, SEPT. 19.—A captain, sailing under
the lonian flag, who quitted Kattagulo, one league
from Pa:ras, in the Mores, on the .28th of August,
and arrived here to-day in writing, that the Turks,
who entered the number of 23,000 men, commanded
by three Paellas, have been dafeated, and in a great
measure destroyed. Drain 'Ali is tahen Frisoner,
end Mahomct Alt is killed. The Greeks have lost
but few persons in the various combats, but they
have to regret the death of one Archbishop (perhaps
Germano, Primate of the Mores). They were mas-
tem of cdrinth at•the end of August. 'file Turkish
flaet remained in activity off Paints, but the crews
suffered very much from the plague, and every day
from fifty to sixty &ad bodies were thrown into the
sea. The Greek fleet were watching the Turkish,
and preparing fire-,hips.
Letters from Corfu say, that the Ipsariots have
quitted their island with their &milks, and have
disembarked on the Muthern coast of the Mores,
despairing of being able to defend their country
aping the Turks.
&must, SaPr. 1G —A letter from Sores of the

has entirely failed, that he is sick at Larissa, trying
in vain to term another army.

MELANCHOLY CARE OP POTSONDTG.
Saturday night. at eight o'clock, an inquisition was held be•
fore Thomas Shelton, E-qQ Coroner for the City of London, on
the body of Mr. Thomas Baker, Goodwin, a respectable jeweller.
The jury were summonert to meet at the late residence of the
de -eased. No.l, Skinner-street, Snowfall.
The jury took a view of the body in the first instance. A re.
lative of the deceased wished that the wife of the deceased might
not have her feelings lacerated by being examined, but the jury
thought her evidence indispensible.
Tile first witness war a servant in the family. Hannah Wie.
kin, being sworn, stated, that her master, the deceased, was *
gohlsmith and jeweller. On Friday night between nine and ten
o'clock. her master came home. lie had been out during the
whole of the day. Af.er minter lie called out to her to bring him
some hot water, as he wished to take some salts, which he
thought would remove a violent pain that he felt in his stomach.
She brought him some water, and she saw him mix some ruin
and water, which wits very weak. lie used only part of the
hot water tiir the rum and, the rest remained in the jug. She
did not see hint mix the salts. Atter lie had drank the rum and
water he went to bell. About five o'clock next morning site
heard her mistress scream very violently, and being alarmed, she
ran up stairs to see what was the matter, and saw her mistress
wringing her hands in the greatest distress. She saw her master
lying on the their, at the toot of the bed. Site heard a kind of
wiling in his throat ; he sighed once or twice, and then replied.
There were no appearances in the roots of his having been sick
or unwell. Her mistress immediately sent off for a medical
gelid:man.
Mr. George Mason. surgeon. Skinner-street, stated, that he
was called, at huff-past tive that morning. to attend the deceased,
Mr. Goodwin. Ile found him dead; ha hands and feet were
cold. Ile had been lying on the ground a quarter of an hour ;
and, from the statenient of Mts. G.. he was of opinion that he
died at hoon as lie fell on the ground, Ile had not been sick.—
Prom the app arance of the body at the time, he (witness) could
not say what was the cause of his death. In less than halt' an
hour aftet winds he found, in the deceased's room, in a paper,
about an ounce Of oxalic acid. The paper hail been opened anti
folded again. curl he thought at first part of the ucid had been
taken out. On looking at a glass in the room, an incrustatam
was found at the baton of it ; this was, at first, supposed by
him to he sugar : and lie thought some person had been drinking
spirits and water, and had put inure sugar in than had dissolved;
but, upon his tasting the sediment, he found that it was strongly
impregnated with oxalic acid, and very pungent. Besides the
incrustation, there was a spoonful of liquid in the glass, and he
was sure that it was a solution of oxalic acal. The body had
been subsequently opened, and appeared in every respect healthy,
except the etotuach, the inner coat of which was completely
destroyed. The appearance of the stomach were such as would
be caused by the taking of oxalic acid. The chemical agency of
the poison had continued its effect lifer death upon the stomach,
and reduced it to a black pulp; in fact, oxalic acid was so very
I subtle when swallowed, that its effects were the instant destruc-
tion of human life. Oxalic acid so much tesetnbles salts, that it
cannot be distinguished front it, without a close inspection.
Mr. George II urlock, surgeon, St. Paul's Churchyard, sworn.
His opinion accorded entirely with Nlr. Mason's evidence ; he
wits present with hint during the opening of the body.
The Jury consulted liar a short time, and returned a verdict
Died front taking oxalic acid in mistake for Epsom sults."
It was proposed to add to the verdict... and which said oxalic
acid was sold to the deceased by mistake the Event) salts ;" but
the proposition was rejected, as no evidence that related to the
purchase of the article had been brought forward.

LAUDABLE CLEMENCV.—At the adjourned Leeds
assizes, in Sepsemher, IS2O, a number of persons from the
neighbourhood of Barnsley and Huddersfield were induced by
an expectation of mercy to plead guilty to the charge of high
treason, and did some of them were subsequently sentenced
to 11 years' transportation, rind misers to transportation for
life. During the last week, all the persons whoa, sentences
were commuted to .14 years' transportation returned to their
respective families and friends, to the inexpressible joy of the
parties, and noels man received 31. is. towards his beveling
expenses from Woolwich, with a certificate of their having
been pardoned WI account of their mammy good couduet. The
names of the men who have thus beim liberated are J. Hobson,
George Burkenshaw, , jl/1111 Fa,rirsiand, the younger, George
Bryen, Abraham Ingham, and N% ea. Holland, from Barnsley ;
and W. Lindley, Nailesisiel Buckley, and Geo. Peacock, front
Huddersfield. John Vallence and James Flowers, it will lie
remembered, were pardoned a short time after they reached
the hulks. The older Farrimand remains at Sheerness ; and
the other prisomrs who were transported fur life were Cent
to Van Diessiade Land, and such of their wives and families as
chose to share their fos twice have been rytinived there at the
expense of government.
The crime of maliciously setting property on fire
appears to make lamentable progress in Wiltshire. A fourth
instance of this sort occurred on Wednesday moruing, when
a lire was discovered in the rick-yard of Mr. Bake, of Ford,
about two miles north of Salisbury, and though ill alarm was
immediately epr ad, and assistanre soon procured, 50 quarters
of barley, -20 quarters of vetches, and about 100 tuns of hay
were destroyed before tine Baines could be extisignished. For-
tunately, there was very little wind et the time, or property
to the amount of several thousand pounds must inevitably have
become a prey to the flames.
On Wednesday last, as a gentleman was passing
near Knightsbridge Chapel with a spirited horse in his gig, a
youth wall crossing the road, the gentleman called out, and
checked tau horse's reins, which instead of impeding the pro-
gress of the horse he rushed on with greaLvr rapidity. The
lad was knocked down and the wheel went over his body, and,
strange to tell, without any material injury. The animal was
secured by tbe bystenders, but his fury could not be abated
until he had iiterally kicked the gi, to pieces.—On the very
same spot, about nine o'clock in the evening, a grulleman's
servant was alighting front the box of • chariot, and stepped
on a slanting atone, which occasioned him to slip a few inches,
by which bin leg was tractnred • little above the ankle. Ile
was taken to St. Peurge's Hospital, where every attention was
paid him, and lie is ie a fair way of recovery.
DUEL.—Ott Friday morning, about six o'clock, a
duel busk place between Captain P---r, of the marines, and
Mr. M--s, a gentleman well known on the 'flange. The
meeting was occatieued, it appears, by a dispute which oc-
curred on Wednesday evening lust, at Covent garden theatre
Captain T—r, either through mistake or otherwise, having
forcibly entered • baekney coach, which Mr. M—s had
retained for his family, who were at the theatre. Mr. M—s
on coming up to the coach, found die Captain just about to
enter it, he Irving previously banded a lady in. Mr. M— -s
remonstrated, but the Captain refused to give op possession.
High words ensued, and the resift wits • challenge,4 and the
meeting in question, which took place at the back of Illo;laerl
House. The parties tired at the mime Medalist ; Capt. l'—r'a
hall passed through the collar of Mr. M—s' emit, and the
Captein was elightsy wounded in the tight arm, near the elbow.
The Sdelilltid that laierCerMd; the Captain declared his readi-
neys now to opologise to Mr. M • s; the apology MU IN-
siptoci, and the parties returned to town gaud tiiencs.
