EAST INDIES.

BOMBAY, FEB. B.—By the arrival of the Brig Jo-
hanna, at Madras, from Rangoon, which she left the
ipth ultimo; we learn, that all' was quiet there. The
'Wesley, Captain BURN, and..Conthnerce, Captain
EATON, had left. Rangoon previous to the sailing of
the Johanna. The Betsey French Privateer had put
to sea.

By a letter of the 3d December, received from Ma-
lacca, we are concerned to state the total loss of the
Ship La Pail', Capt. WRIGHT, bound from China to
this port, on a reef .or bank of hard sand, about 12
miles north oiCape Richardo, and between four and
five miles off shore. This unfortunate' loss of a fine
Ship and a very valuable cargo happened at half past
five on the afternoon of the 27th November, being
the day after they sailed from Malacca for this Port.
It appears the whole of the crew had been saved,
but the cargo was totally lost, notwithstatiding
every possible exertion had been used by Captain
WRIGHT, his officers, and crew, to preserve it.

Among the curiosities which generally excite 'the
attention of strangers who visit Gaeta, are the
tomb of LUCIUS MUNANTUS PLANCUS, which is
usually called by the inhabitants La Tprre d'Orlando
(RoLAwn's Tower :) another tower still more an-
cient, which is called Latratina, because •thereare
on the walls several Anubes, or dog-headed figures;
and the tomb of CHARLES.DE BOURBON; who died
in ISQB, while besieging Rome. Not more than 60
years since the skeleton of-that Warrior was exhibit-
ed on the gates of that fortress, the Popes having or-
dered that he should not be buried in consecrated
ground, as a punishment for his having warred against
the Church.

, On Tuesday week, in the evening, the True Bri-
ton coach, going from the White Lion, in Notting-
ham, for London, was overturned at the bottom of
Bakergate, owing to one of the axleL.trecs breaking.
There was a great number of outside passengers,.
some of whom wer:-. materially ininFed ; a Minister
in the Methodist connexion received a severe fraature
on his skull; his wife had an- arm broken and I a
shoulder dislocated, and several others received con-
tusions.: more or less severe : we are happy to learn,
however, they are all -in a fair way of recovery.--
A similar. accident happened to one of the Manches-
Jet coaches, at Mountsorrel, on. Sunday se'nnight,
by which -the coachman was so dreadfully bruised
about the, head -as 'to occasion his death in a few
hours after Wards, and,a- Gentleman, on the outside,
hail one of his legs broken,

The gross and atroCious murder of Ann Maria
.Podley, at St. John's, Horsleydown, we have had ix=
Casion to notice. in a former Paper. A
.chle is at
length given to it, and that in a way which slims
that the dispensations Of oivine Providence will at
orie time-or other bring .Murder to light, The fol-
lowing are the main pohits
A man who lives in the Parish..ef St, John's wag
taken a few de-~:3 ago so ill as'to require medical as-
sistance. A Gentleman of the Faculty was sent far;
and in the course of his attendance found that his
patient's disorder was rather._ mental than corporeal.
On-a, visit on -Monday last-he told hiM very frankly
that no medical assistance could be afforded him
unlesst he,disburthened his mind of something that
appeared to affect hirriL-4111 then he could not afford
Ilia' any. relief. Pressing this point, the man 'at
length was brought to confess that the perturbation •
of his mind was* caused by the concern he had in
Mrs. Pooley's business. Of the murder he had no
knowledge;: but he said he was concerned in the
.cobbery..

7The'Surgeon then administered .his professional
aid,-arid proceeded in a proper way to give-informa-
tion to the Police, who sent their °dicers, and last
Wednesday evening he was removed to Bow-street,
where he has underwent a private examination be-
fore Mr. REID, and stands for a farther examination.
lir the mean time, he remain§ at Etazard's, in Bow-
street; in
.custody;.. and a wOman is also in custody
as an accessary.. ,In the present stage of
.the busi-
ness it would tend to defeat the ends of publickisticc
to go farther into the subjea.
,Tor the discovery of the perpetrators Of the above
murder a reward of 1001. has been offered' in the
London GazelL, and a pardon to- any 'accomplice.
—Mrs. Pooley had apartments, in Cro'ss-Strect,
Hoisleydown, 'Southwark, where she was accu,s-.
torned to live alone, and was seldom knoWn to have
any parson call on her. She subsisted -by mo-
ney paid her regularly every quarter ;, and .it was
known that she always
.had from twenty tp•thirty
pounds in the house. The 12th of Angust was the,
last day this Lady was seen by any.person out (li-
the house: and When the milk-woman and other
daily trades-people called, as was usual, they found
the daar.of the apartment fastened ; arid, supposing
that she was gone into thecountry, made no thrtlkr
inquiry. On the 20th of August it appears the
nejghbouthood was-annoyed by a bad smell, which
gave cause to an alarm that the old
.Lady had. died,
unknown to any person. The ,door of her apart-!
merit was instantly broken op:bn, when she Was dis-
covered in the most emaciated condition, :lying on
her bed, with her head almost severed from her .
body. No knife was found near her person, which -
is the tnostconvincing proof that She could not have
corwhittetLthe deed herself; besides, her money;
Nylhi-ch we have before said to be from twenty to -
'thirty pounds, and known to be in the house, was
taken sway. Mr. SnaLToist, the Coroner,

returned their verdiii—“-Wi(ful Murder.,"

Yesterday morning early, as some labourers were
going to their work througth Hyde Park, they dis-
covcred a female in the ad.of suspending herself to ,
a tree near the wall of Kensington Gardens. One
of the workmen, of the. name of Dennis, first-
reached the spot, and rescued the- wretched woman
from the fate that awaited her. She was couvev‘i2cl.
to a house nearest the spot, but, she refused to give
any further accountof herself) than that she had re-
turned to town, from Margate On the preceding day,.
and that she, had,once before been disappointed of
ridding herself of worldly cares. The unfbrtunina
woman was genteelly dressed, and she appeared: to • ,
beabout thirty years of age..

not to be able to find his way to his hed-chamber.
He was led to the landing-place going into his room;
and in the morning he was found lying on the floor •
suffocated. . -

Died•yesterday, the Rev. Mr. JOHN. Bai*D, the
Rea-tor of St. .Mary at Hill, and Secretary of the An.
tiquarian Society at Somerset-House. He rose yes.;
terday morning about seven o'clock; his usual hour,
and went into his •study,• Where his female servant
took him an egg; which he usually eat before he
went to Somerset-House : she afterwards went into
atiAflitiing room,-as she had been accustomed, and
torwhich.he generally came after having eaten his
egg,, to have his coat brushed or his shoes tied. She
waited a considerable time, and at last went into his
study, where she discovered him lying on the floor,
lifeless. A Surgeon was immediately sent for, but
all his attempts to restore animation proved ineffec-
tual, He was a man of the most exemplary piety;
and his loss will be severely felt by the poor of the:
parish of which he was the Reetor.

Ni‘NSION

BEFbRE THE LORD MAYOU.

His Lordship, having complied with -the request
of Mr: Daniels, the Stock Exchange defaulter, who
was-brought up for examination on Wednesday, to'
_postpone that, business till ten yesterday mornng,
the Justice Rooal was before that hour crowded by
Gentlemiak of the Stock Exchange, and many others
attracted i)y curiosity on the occasion.
Mr. MAR RYATT, as Counsel on behalf of Mr.
ID:inlets; attendee), and stated, that his client had
been suddenly seized with. so severe a degree of
Hitless) in the course of yesterday evening, as to
be utterly incapable of attending this morning. In
support .of this statement Mr. MARRYATT adduced
the eertincate of Dr. Hodson, and hoped his 'Lord-
. ship would have no objection to defer the examina-
tion till Saturday. The LORD MAYOR most readiiiy
acceded to the request.
On tuntuter inquiry, we understand Mr. Daniels's
incapability arose from kstate of mind bordering on
a&ual derangement, in consequence of the refusal
of certain of his late most intimate friends and near
• relations, 'with whom he was extremely desirous of
conversing previously to his examination, to hold
any comintinication whatever with him. This cir-
cumstance, combined with the degraded situation in
which • his conduct had otherwise involved him, waS
beyond all his' fortitude, and Las driven hint almost
,to distraetion.
A _distressed female, who had the appearance of
a reputable elderly servant, was brouglat before the
Chief Magistrate by one of the nightly yatrole, who
said he had found her on Wednesday night upon the
' battlement of BLick friar's-bridge, -just on the point
Of plunging into the Thames, for the desperate
VA-pose of self-destru&ion. The poOr creature ap-
peared much distressed and agitated ; and on being
interrogated, said she came lately to town from some
place below Maidstone ; that she had beti several
days in town, without employment, friends, money,
or any lodging but the streets.. On searching-her
pocket,-there was found a certificate of her Marriage •
at- Lambeth Church ; -butshe said her husband, who:
was a seaman, had deserted her.
The LORD MAYOR ordered her for the prsent
some temporary relief, and gave direaions to the Of.
, ficers to have humane attentiop paid to her for a few
days, until her mind is more tranquil ; when
.she is ,
•to be sent to-her last 'parish.
The American Mariner, and the other Seaman,
from the Bonthay Castle Indiaman, who had thrice
, before attended with their complaints against Ed-
waroL, the crimp, for obtaining, under false 'pre
tences, the possession of their chests and bedding,
by carrying them away from the :public-house in
liarkhouse-lane, Billingsgate, where they were de-
posited, to his oWn house, and refusing to surrender
them without being paid a guinea for each, attended
now.again, to sustain' their charges; and were ac-
companied by the' hoStess of the public-house to
which those chests and two others were brought
from on board the Gravesend Boat by one of those
Seamen, who said he paid all ,the expences of con-
veyance up, to the Captain of the Hoy. Edwards
was on board the Boat along with him, but had no
charge whatever of the goods, nor any concern with
the Boat that he knew of, except merely as a pas-
senger, and utterly a stranger to him. He left the
four chests, with his bed and bedding, at the public-
house, safely in care, as- he imagined ; and went to
tell the persons to whom two of the chests belong-
ed, where they were left; on his return he found
that Edwards had come to the house and carried
them away and afterwards refused to deliver
• them up, on his application, without paying a guinea
for each.
The hostess said, that Edwards came to her house
on Sunday, and pointing out the chests, which were
not marked with any name, said they belonged to
sailors to whom he was agent, and he must carry
them away. -He paid the usual storage of twopence
tbr each ; wrote with chalk upon each the initials of
his name, and ordered the porters, whom he brought
there, to carry them away.
The American said, he was most severely in-
jured, as well as inconvenienced, by the deten-
tion of his chest. The Captain of the Bombay castle
Was so kind as to give him his passage home,
in consideration of the distress he had'auffered
in India, and afterwards was pleased to give him a
gratuity for ailing as a seaman on board the Ship.
'He had obtained, since he landed, an appointment
to return to America as mate on board of a vessel
•bodnd to New Orleans, but lost his appointment by
delay, owing to the detention of his chest ; and out
of the pittance of money be had for his support, he
was under the necessity ,of purchasing apparel,
through the want of the clothes locked up m the
chest. -
The Loan MAYoR received the examinations of
all the parties, but Edwards did not appear. A war-
_ rant was issued for his -apprehension ; and the LORD
MAYOR told Ale -parties he would dire& a prosecu-
tion against Edwards at the publicaexpence.

HATToN-GAitom—Yesterday Timothy Coakley,
a private soldier, was committed for trial, for a
burglary. in the house of T. IV.P.Millan, in Charles,
itrcet, • Hoxton, and stealing thereout a large quan-
tity of carpenters' tools. Another private soldier,
an associate of the Prisoner, suspected to be con-
cerned in the robbery, underwent .an examination,
and was committed for a re-hearing.
William Lee, a seafaring man; Was charged by
Thomas Kirk, au .Artilleryman, who lately came
home in the Lord Gardner East Indiaman, with
jobbing him of four one-pound Bank•notes, on
Monday last. Kirk said, that on Monday last,
.knowing the Prisoner, he took him with him to
CLaring-Cross, left him standing at the corner of
Craig's-court, while he went to the Agent, Messrs.
Cox and Greenwood, and received the above sum,
together with 123. 6d. in gold and silyer. He
then joined him, and went to Bear-street, Leicester-
fields, where they dined together ; they afterwards
went to St. Giles's, to see a persbn of the name of
Barker, where they drank very copioUsly of gin.--
After that, the Prisoner and the Prosecutor walked
• don Holborn, and stopped at the Coach and
Horses, kept by a Mrs. Hardy, where they 'drank
pod deal.. Kirk, finding hithself tipsey, to* a
