that on the night of the t lth of August he was re-

Mr, Butter: The prisoner in a short time -came up,
and pretended to be a .Police' Officer; when be
heard the accusation, he took him into ciwodyand
said he should take him to the wateh=hous:.-:; as they
were on-their way to it, the Prisoner pretendec Iu
be his friend, and advised hinttogivetne man 101.
or 51. to make it. up., The prosecutor said he had
not so Much- money, and if- he had, he would not
give it,
.as helaild not done any thing.
The'primolland his companion haying -agreed
to take a guinea a piece, the prosecutor, to avoid thu
unpfeakinit[iigeOf being taken to a vratch-house, and

UNION-HALL."I3LGAMY.-A Gentlernan, fbr
some time a resident in Banco Regis, wasCharpa
by a pretty-young Woman-with haviugmarrid her
uncle', the designation of a single Man; by
.this
means he obtained her property, whiCh• he sOon
dissipated, and then refused to make any settlement
'on, or provision for her, even alter she had dis-
covered that he had a wile with a prior claim
Sufficient evidence :was laid 'before the Magistrate,;,
three in number; to warrant them to commit tale
prisoner to the County gaol fbr trial._ By way of
corroboration it came out, that the debt he was in
the King's Bench for, was for board and lOdging fdt.
his wife.

A private Icifter from Stockholm reports, that
certain information has been received at Stockholni,
of the' Eniiii=e4s. being at the head of atThirs
its
Russia)eblit file writer is not certain whiither or not
the Emperor .has made or sanctioned the' appoint=

ANECDOTE.—Notwithstanding all that has been
said of the unfortunate j'Ars
,the Seeotd,. there
were some traits in his character which Inal'ke.,ll a
true British spirit, as well as strong feelings of bn-
manity, latter quality was manifested in the
batil4,4 cilykyne, when, with great agitation, he
exclaimed, " Oh ! spare my English subjeas !"
and the folrdiffligariecdote equally demonstrates his
high sense of..(l3ritiSh valour and attachment to the
honour of this<Country: When the 'French Ambas;.
sador, D'AvAux, first informed him that the English
Fleet had been defeated' by the French in Bantry Bay,
JAMES, with a generous peevishness, answered"
" C'est bien la, premiere fibs douc :"—" It is the
first,time, then." Considering that the unfortunate
Monarch was then whollY dependent on the French,
such an exclamation does honour to his charadter as
a Briton, and will tend rto soften the resentment in
which his Memory is held, in all liberal minds,
