-.The puke of CMBRIDGE reviewed, yesterday
morning, in Hyde Park, three reeiments of the East
India Company's Volunteers. Atc. nine o'clock the-
men marched into the Park,. preceded by eix pieces.
of artillery, drawn by four horses each, and took
~
their ground near Kensington Gardens. They then
formed into line, with their rear towards the garden`
walls. The artillery were
.stationed to the
_right of
the left wing : two men, with bugle-horns, were
11156 stationed in the Park—one at Hyde Park Cor-
ner, and the . other near the Powder Magazine, in
Order to . give the signal when His Royal Highness
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE entered the Park. At i 1
o'clock his Royal Highness made hii appearance,
mounted upon a beautiful Arabian black charger,
attended by his Aid-de-Camp. On the arrival ,of
his Royal Highness the bugle-horns gave the eienal
e
when a Royal Salute was fired from the artillery.
—The Earl of BANBURY,' and severel Geperal °Ri-

at their military appearance and good discipline. At
one o'clock his Royal Highness lett .the ground, and
returned to St. James's Palace, after having,been an
hour and. a half in the rain, without putting his '

THE CH Et. Tui.--The tragedy of Pizarro, w4ich
has too often b.eeti;seeir to require any comment On'
the acainr;, was represented . last night at Covent-
Garden Theatre, and,. considering its frequent re-•
petition, and the badness of the weather, had what
might he deemed e numerous audience. But though'
nothing new can be said of the aeling, the Per-
farmers , deserve much praise for. the zeal which
they continue to chew in charaaers which they have
so eery often represented, that something of languor
.might naturally be expeeted, and, would be almost
excuseable. KEMBLE and
...Mrs. SIDDONS, indeed,
are always particularly anxious in discharging their
chity to the publice.atid they exerted themselves with
as much spire, lee night, in Rolla and Elvira,. as
if it had been theirfirst appearance in those charac-
ters. The afterpiece was,The Son in Law, and Mr.

by his lively andireteeque performance of Bowkitt,
which,'llighly diverted the audience.

lI,ODDESDON MURDER.

The late horrible event-that happened at ft tickles.;
don, so ;ne, . ,xceeds, in atrocity, every thing,ola
sittiilar •kin'd which has lately occurred, that we
• sunmit to our Readers all the particulars which have
yet iranspUa-d respe6ting•this lamentable attltir.
Mr. Boi-eham, a respeoable meniber. of Abe" Sp-
• 'ciety'ot Friends, has been many yearS a resident at
floddesdati-:..hiS house is on the declivity of the hill,
'bevOnd the_i.own, about 200-yards from the market-
,He had four, daughters, one of whom was
the wit'e of Mr. Warner, brass-liitinder; of the Cres-
cent, Kingsland- road, and also of the Creseent,Jewin-
street. Mrs. Warner had been on a visit to her pa-
- 'retitiefor several days; and on Tuesday evening, a Mrs.
Hummerstone, who superintended, as housekeeper,
the business of the Black Lion Inn, at Hoddestlon,
fur Mr. Batty, the proprietor, was at Mr. Boreham's
house, in consequence of an invitationde spend the
evening with. the, family. The company, assembled in
'the Parlour were Mr. &ram, a very old Gentle-
man, affetSted by the palSey ; his wife, his friiir
daughters, Anne, Elizabeth; Sarah, and Mrs. War-
ner.- About a quarter past nine, they were alarmed
by aVery loud-noise at the back of the house. It pro-
ceeded from seine person. in tfispute With the servant
Woman, Elizabeth Harris, and who was insisting on
toting into the house. He proved to be Thomas Sim-
mons, a young man, about twenty, who had been
servant in the,tamily Boiehatn for about two
years last past, but from whiCh he had been very
'recently dismissed, and was employed in the brewery
of Messrs. Christie and Co. at Hoddesdon. This
young man, it seems, had, while in the tPipily, paid
his ldresses to the servant; Elizabeth Harris, who
was many, years older than himself; but the Syrup-
-toms of a ferocious and ungovernable temper, which
lie bad frequently displayed, had induced his MiS=
tress; - to dissuade the woman from 'any
.connexion
with him ; and this violent disposition had led also
to his dismissal from the family. He had been
heard to vow vengeance against Elizabeth Harris
and' the eldest MiSs Boteliam ; and on TueSdaY night,
at the hour already stated, he made his way into
the firinlard;and from thence into an interior court,
called the shone-yard.. Elizabeth Harris, on seeing
hisapproach, retired within a scullery, and shut the
door against him. He demanded adMittatree, which
:refused : high words. accordingly arose; and
lie! pinOed'his hand, armed with a knife„ through a
window-lattice, at her; but Missed his aim. This
noise alarmed the company in tlie parlour, or keep-
iteroon), int called. Mrs. Hummerstone was
the• tie to come forth; in hope of .being .able to •
intimidate and send away the disturber; but as
she reached the back door, leading front the parlour
to the stone-yard, Simmons, who was proceeding
to enter, the h''ise that way, met her, and with his
knife stabbetl. her in the jugular artery, and pulling
the knife tin•ward, laid open, her throat on the left
,Side. She ran forward, as is Suppwed, for the pair-
pose of alarm ing rite neighbourhood, but fell, and ruse
no , more. The murderer. pursued his sanguinary '
Purpose, 'and rushing into the patient, raised and
brandished his .bltiody knife, swearing a dreadful •
oath; that he would give it to them -air M.S.
Warner was the person next hitt); and, without
giving her time to rise from her chair, lie
save her
.
so many .stabs the jugular vein,' and about. her
neck and breast, that she fell from her chair, cover'-
.ed with streams of blood, and expired, Fortunately
Miss Anne Wirehair) had been upstairs immediately;
:previous to the commencement of this !writ! busi-
ness ; and her sisters Elizabeth and Sayah, terrified
,at the horrors they saw, ran up stairs ten for safe-
ly. The villain next attacked the aged MrS. Bore-
ham, by a similar aim at her jugular artery, but
Missed the point, anti wounded her deep in the neck,
'though not mortally. 'Tie poor old Gentlenien
,was
:making his way towards the kitchen; where the
servant maid Was, and the miscreant, in endeavour-
ing to reach the same place, overset thin; and
• then endeavoured to stab the servant in , the
-throat; she struggled with him, caught at the t
'knife, and was wounded severely in the hand' and
nrm. The knife fell in the struggle. She, hew-
-ever, got out at the back door, and made her way
`lnto the street, where, by her screams of murder, she
alarmed the neighbourhood. The poor people r:-
'siding near the- house were all in their beds ; hot
'the whele town wasisoon in alarm. The Murderer
sought to conceal himself; and, after some search,
was disdovcred in a cow-crib :he was immediately
made'prisotter, and brotight to the
where he was bound and handcuffed until morning.;
lind was aelually on the point of death from tile'
•tightness of his ligatnres, which had nearly stopped
the circulation, when Mr. Fairfax, of the Mad. Bull
Inn, in the town, interfered, cut the ligatures, and!
. thereby prevented a death too summary for the cause`
"of pnblic justice.
,
• Two professional Gentlemen in' the town, Mr..:
alms( and Mr. Worthington, als( instantly at',
tended Mr. Bereham's flintily; but could render no
manner of aid to Mrs. Warner or Mrs. Hummer-
stone. -Alas both Were ch. They, dressed,'
however, _Mrs. Borehantit wOnnd, and the poet- old
Gentleman Was found prostrate where he fell, with
a poker by his side, which his full strength would
not allow him to use.
Innnediately atter this sari tragedy a friend of the
family, the younger Mr. Mansergh, set Otrror'town
to communicate' the atlitting news to Mr. Warner.:
He called on a friend in his way, Who ae-;
.companied hint to Mr., Warner's residence ,on
}iingsland-road. Every degree of discretion was
used in breaking to him the afflicting intelligence ;
but' such was the acuteness of his and the
distracting excess 'of his grief, ,that he has not yet
approached the scene of horror.
An Inquest was held at the -Mack Bull Inn, en
Wednesday, WWI centinuect
.from eleven in the! r
trtortiiug until eight 'le the evening. file first. and
principal witness exEtmined was Elizabeth Harris,
the substance of whose evidence we have detailed
in the Thregoing narrative.
It appeared also from the nairin;tion of Mr. Slurp-
;on, a friend of Mr, Borehant, who, I.lCCOIllit Or
