Died on Thursday in last week, at Underly Hall, the resi-
dence of Alexander Nowell, Esq., the celebrated horse Muley.
lie was one of the finest steeds that has paced the turf since
the days of the famous Bucephalus, and has left a progeny
worthy of his blood and high reputation.

Yesterday morning information was given to Mr.
Inspector Tedman, of the D division, at the station-house,
Marylebone-lane, of the following robbery. Between the
hOurs of nine o'clock on Saturday night and seven o'clock on
Sunday morning, the shop of Mr. Banfield, tailor, No. 6,
Dorset-street, Manchester-square, was robbed of coats and
waistcoats of the value of 301 , as also of a portmanteau and a
musical snuff-box, both belonging to the convict Greenacre,
who was executed on the 2d instant for the murder of Hannah
Brown. On the trunk were his initials "J. G.," written in
ink by hims.lf. It appears that some time ago he occupied
apartments at Mr. Banfield's house, and went away leaving
those things behind him. The robbery is supposed to have
been committed by a man who took lodgings on Saturday
night, but on the following morning absconded. He is about
forty years of age, five feet six inches high, fair complexion,
and was dressed in a shabby camlet cloak.
On Sunday evening as an elderly gentleman, named
Herbert, who resides in Gower-street, Bedford-square, was
passing near the top of Monmouth-street, he was rudely run
against by two fellows apparently intoxicated. In a few mi-
nutes afterwards he missed his watch (a valuable gold one) and
appendages, with which the thieves got safe off. On Sunday
evenings this neighbourhood is almost ►mpassable, so numerous
nre the thieves, principally boys, that infest it, in spite of the
utmost vigilance of the pt►iice.

Letters have been received in the city from Liver-
pool, which mention that i„telligence bad been received there
from the Cape of Good Hope, stating his Majesty's brig-of-
war Dolphin had captured two slavers. The following are
the particulars as described in the advices :—The Dolphin
had arrived at the Cape of Good Hope about the date of the
20th of January from England, with nearly 20,0001. on Go-
vernment account, bringing also along with her the crew of
a Brazilian slaver. She had, it appears, captured two
essels of this description : first, the schooner Androhina,
with 254 slaves on board, evidently Brazilian, though
sailing under Portuguese colours, having procured a Por-
tuguese passport at Angola, and escorted by a brig
from that place to the coast of Brazil, and cleared out
for Mozambique, Ambrig, and Monte Video. Both these
vessels, it was ascertained, had sailed from Rio Janeiro a few
month previous, under Brazilian colours, and were carrying
the slaves across to the market, protected by the semblance of
a Portuguese flag. The other vessel was recognised to be the
Brazilian corvette Inco;::prthensible, French built, of 560 tons,
and pierced for 18 guns, with 700 slaves on board, from Mo-
zambique to Angola and Lisbon, also proceeding on the voy-
age under Portuguese passport and colours, but. found to be
Brazilian, by papers which were discovered on board. She
was despatched under guard to Sierra Leone for adjudication.
The scene on board this vessel, it is said, was truly heart-
rending. There were about 100 slaves lying almost lifeless
on the deck, with the remaining 600 in the most abject
misery, being in a state of nudity, and so closely packed to-
gether, that they lay as one lifeless mass, in consequence of
the heat they had experienced in rounding the Cape. It was
with great exertion that they were uttimatcly brought round ;
and, after having been properly attended to, were placed in a
situation to exercise themselves.
THE LATE DUEL.—A friend of M. Harro has
written a letter to the papers to correct several errors in the
statements relative to the recent duel near Hampstead-heath.
He says—" In the first place, Harro Herring is not a Pole,
but a native of Denmark ; secondly, be has never been -a co-
lonel, but merely an officer in the Russian Life Guards of
Duke Constantine, of Warsaw. In the latter capacity he
joined the Polish patriots in the memorable struggle for Po-
land's freedom. He had, previous to entering the Russian
service, fought in Arcadia for the liberty of Greece, yet his
fame does not rest merely upon his military exploits, but upon
his literary acquirements. He is one of the best German
lyrics and novel writers, and is well known here and in France
as the author of " Memoirs of Poland," and " Memoirs sur
la Jeune Italie." He has no family; he has never been
married. His age is 38. He came to England six months
ago, expelled from Switzerland at the request of Russia,
and dragged by French gendarmes to Calais, and there com-
pelled to sail for London. The wound is by no means dart-
4erous ; and Mr. Quain, the surgeon, has no doubt of his final
recovery."
JANUARY AND MAY.—On Wednesday last was
married, at Upping barn, Mr. January to the Hon. Miss May,
daughter to the Countess of Spring. After the ceremony,
the happy couple treated all the householdersior many miles
round with snow cakes. It was thought this union sever could
take place, as Lord Sol, who is trustee over Miss May's for-
tune, always refused his sanction, and it is said will either dis •
solve the marriage, or interfere to divert her fortune in favour
of the next sister. —Situ/ford 44Iercuq.
