MARGATB, Oct. 11.

The Vicar called a meeting of the Veitry ye 3.
terday, to consider of the propriety of the parish
beariog the expences that will attend the prose.
cation of the Life Governors of the Intirm..ry
(alias the Vagrants and Sturdy beggars) at Dover,
on Wednesday next. The meeting was nousaally
well attended, and the result I hasten to commit-.
nicate. Mr. Churchwarden Cona, whose naine
was , affixed to the " fatuous Vagrant Paper,"
stated, that he had incautiously permitted his
name to -be made use of, in the persuasion, that
being called upon in' his official situation by the
Vicar, he had no alternative : he now Saw his
error, and trusted to their kitolness to receive his
excuse. Mr. Janvis.then rose, and without en-
tering at all into the merits of the question, said,
that. a'`' compromise'' was then in agitation, and
moved that the meeting do break up ; which was
accordingly thine. It may not be amiss to state,
that no compromise can or will take place ; that
the parties are botold over to attend at Dover on
Wedne.sday next, when they remove the proceed-
ings to the King's Bench. Seijeant Baal', who
leads this circuit, is retained, and the Life Guyer-
tors are resolved to take the sense of an impartial
Jury upon the light of the " Kentisil Alagistrates"
to imprison them for near two hours, and to•de-
nominate thein ". Vagrants," for asking on the
OUTSIba Of the Churchyard GATES, such contri-
bution as should still enable the Directors to keep
open the doors of their Infirmary tv the afflicted
who resort the're for relief.—Mr. Starrat,the other
Churchwarden, whose name was affixed to the
" Vagrant Bill," protests against having given
any consent whatever for his name to appear.—
This extraordinary circumstance engrosses all the
conversation, and leads us to believe it will be
made matter for serious consideration at Dover;
and at Maidstone.—j\ Ball, on a splendid scale,
is announced for Tuesday next, at Hainsgate, in
aid of the funds, and it is believed that upwards
of 300 guineas is already forwarded to' the Lon-
don Directors, front the spirited exertions of the
.visitors here. It is almost superfluous to add,
the Vestry were unanlinons iu objecting to pay
any part•of the\expence of this prosecution.
OcT.A2.--We have just learnt the result of
the extra Meeting of the Court of Directors, add.
yesterday at the London Tavern. It was resolved,
that an official answer be forthwith printed to the
Observations of the Rev. W. BAILEY, purporting
to be his excuse for refusing the pulpit this sea-
son ; and, in the mean time, a resolution passed.
unanimously by the Court. and was as unanimous-
ly.eonfirmed- afterwards by the half yearly Gene-
ral Meeting, that the cordial thanks of the Insti—
tution be severally presented to the Gentleme❑
who kindly undertook to:hold the plates at the
church-yard gates. • YOu shall know the result
of the, proceedings at Doter by the first post. It
is not believed here, as a possible case, that a.
true Bill eau. be found against these Gentlemen ;
but you shall,be unformed of every thing.

A RI-CH CUP OF TEA.-"The mistress of a shop
in the neighbourhood of Red Lion-square, ex-
pecting a person, one day last, week, to call to
be. paid a bill which was owing to him, took a
Tea Pound Bank of England note out of the cash.
box, in readiness; the person, however, did not
call, and she put the note into a Cliina teapot, which.
stood in the parlour cop-board. On Sunday a
few friends called in by chance to take a cup of
tea—the best ware, as a Matter of course, was
brought forward, and the company enjoyed their
rcp.43r.
,The gervatit carried away the tea things,'
washed, and put them by, before it ever struck
the poor hostess, that her ten pound note was'
gone, '` never to return." SiA mentioned the cir-
cumstance to her friends, who participated in her
distress., One of die guests fortunately asked the
servant where she had thrown the tea-leaves ? She
said, " under the fire-place." A search was im-
mediately commenced, and, to the no small joy
of the poor womtin, the note was found cotn-
mingled with the leaves, and not much damaged!
BURQLARY AND SUPPOSED MURDER.—The in-
habitants of the pariah of Mary-le-bone have beers
in considerable alarm since Thursday last, in con-
stquence of a report being iiteii•culation, that a
woman and girl, left in care of the house, No.
19, Foley-place, had been murdered. The house
in question was fitted up last spring as a lodging-
house, and was soon after taken by a family who
were little known in the neighbourhood; a few
weeks back they went into the country, and since
that period the tradesmen, &c. had no communi-
cation with the house, but an elderly woman
anal
1,1 girl were occasionally ;seen there, who \ were
supposed.to be left in the care of the house. Last
Thursday morning the area-gate and kitehen-
shutter was observed broken, and on further exa-
mination, it was found that all the furniture was
taken away—even the Venetian blinds were taken
from the windowS ; the persons before alluded
to were also missing, and have not since been
heard of. Hence itiwas inferred by some of the
neighbours, that they were murdered, and their
bodies carried away-by the robbers,

at a
where a Captain of a West Indianian in
who
had a black girl about 14 or 15 years of age liv-
ing with hint as a servant, who he had lately oc-
casion to punish for gross misconduct, since
which she has been extremely sullen and perverse.
—on Wednesday she was in a room occupied by
her toaster (the Captain), in which were several
fire-arms, anti had a little boy, the son of the
landlord of the lipase, with her. After they had-
been there some time; the family were alarmed by
the. discharge of tire-arms, which was found to
proceed from the room where the girl-and boy
were, and on entering it the little boy was disco-
vered to be shot in the most shocking manner by
the black girl with a musket, which was ascer-
tained to have been loaded with broken type, &c:
No cause was ascertained for the girl doing the
dreadful act; whether she knew the .gun was'
loaded, or why she presented' it at the boy, it was
not known. His head, and the upper part of his
body presented a most shocking spectacle. A
surgeon was sent for, who ascertained that one
side of his head was dreadfully injured, nearly all
his teeth and nose on the same side carried away,
and lacerated most shockingly. It will be consi-
dered a miracle if he survives.—On Thurday, the
Captain and the black girl left the house,
