A PICKPOCKET TIIRASIIED.--AtiOt eleven
o'clock this forenoon the passengers near Cathe-
ritte.street were attracted by a young man of
genteel appearance being seized in very act
of abstracting a pocket-book from the pocket of
a Gentleman, who declined taking the; fellow be-
fore the Magistrates, but, handing liiiembrella
to another. Gentleman, administered,Ao him a
most tremendous thrashing, and some others as-.
listing him, the fellow was soon compelled to re.
treat in a most woful plight, covered with mud
and dirt.

BURGLARY.—Between three and four
_ _

lo'clock this morning, a most daring burglary was
effected in the house of Mr. JAmcs C4xToN, in
Prince's.street, St. George's. The thieves forced
an entry by the area gate and kitchen door, and
m
ransacked the shop and lower roost'ivhich they
plundered of about '2OO/. worth of plate and
jewellery. The thieves escaped by the front
door.

EXTRAORDINART CASE OF ItYPROFBO3IA.----
On Tuesday morning a most afflictiVe' evt nt oc-
curred at Elliott, about eight miles from this
town. Mr. Richard Neal rose from his bed in
pursuit of a cat, as he said, to kill her. He went
to his barn, and removed part of the flooring, but
did not find her. In the yard he met his wife,
whom he threw on the ground, and with an axe
severed her head from her body. Abut eight
years ago Mr. Neal, it is said, was affected with
hydrophobia, in consequence of receiving on. his
hands the saliva of a rabid swine, and was for several
months after in adelirious state. Since that time he
has been, until within a few days, in gOod health.
For about a week before the fatal transaction he
was in a melancholy state of mind, which was
imputed to the operation of religious
~feelings.
After having killed Mrs. Neal he stated .to his
neighbours that the cat of which he was in pursuit_
was bewitched, and that the witches had. left her
and gone into his wife—that be had no intention
of killing her when he left the honse—ex•l
pressed his willingness to be taken into eustody,
and was accordingly committed to rork
Mr. and Mrs. Neal had beer!
.married about
seven years, were each about 37 year*pf age,
were the parents of four children; were possesse4
of a competency, and had lived is untriterrupte4
harmony.—(Nero Hampshire Parr, Oct. 1,)

. By the embarkation returns that have been
received relative to the 9flth Regiment of Foot, it appears that
that corps embarked in three divisions, viz, on the 14th, 17th
and 21st September, on board the :peke, Arab, and Joseph
Green transports, for conveyance from Halifax to Bermuda.--
As no official account has yet been received of the loss of either
of the above transports, there is reason to hope that the report
of the loss of the right wing, contained in the letter from New
Brunswick, of the 4th October, may eventually turn put to be
unfounded.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers,Nov.lo, 1825.

[BRITISII PRESS.]
By the Abberton, -arrived from Bombay at
•Peal, with tea passengers, and fifty invalids of
--the 47th Regiment, letters have been received
•• from that Presidency to the. 15th of July, and.
from St. Helena to the 24th of September. They
.notice the sailing of the Ogle Castle, and. state
that only two passengers were. on board of that
vessel, viz. Lieutenant Wm. Noton and Lieute-
nant Wm. Howard. A notification to this effect

was posted
.yesterday at Lloyd's, but we have
much pleasure in adding, that we have since
learned that Lieutenant Howard had fortnnately
• relinquished his passage, in consequence of his
• not being..able to leave India when the Ogle
'Castle sailed. The statement that six females
were seen to be washed from the poop, must,
therefore, be without foundation. The political
intelligence, though it does not communicate
the occurrence of any material event of mili-
tary importance, is of the most satisfactory
nature. Our hopes of the entire and speedy
subjugation of the Burmese Government are
.strengthened. Nothing,apparently,could prevent
the advance of Sir Archibald Campbell to Ava,
Letters from Prome, dated the 9th and 10th of
May, state that perfect tranquillity existed in'
that part of the country. The Burmese reinforce.'
'bents that were on the road from Ava had re-
traced their steps with the utmost preciuitation,
nor was it known that any force of the enemy
was between Prome and the capital. The inha-
bitants of Prome were returning from the jungles
in vast numbers. Some loss had been sustained
on the river (Surrawaddy), by the oversetting
and immediate sinking, in a heavy squall, of two
of the gun flotilla, the Sophia and Swift, the
former laden with native provisions, and the lat-
ter with ordnance and stores. Hopes were en-
tertained that some of the latter would be re-
covered. The'crews were all saved, with the
exception of one soldier of the 8961 regiment,
. and a follower. A Proclamation was issued at
Batavia by the Netherlands Government on the
2.,15t July, declaring the ports of Anjeer and
Rion, in the Straits of Sunda, free to all nations,
allowing them to bond and warehouse all descrip-
tion of goods, not less in amount than 1,000 guil-
ders, on payment of one per cent.
