MADAME ITuituinE.xtract of a private letter to a
gentleman of Philadelphia, t ated Barratarta, Oct. 8, 1824) :
" Madam Iturbide, the ex-Empress of Mexico, has been
domesticated with us for the last ten days. She landed on
the Island froty the schooner United States, in 20 days
from Soto de la Marina, from which place she was com-
pelled to make a precipitate retreat, after the execution of
her husband, the newspaper accounts of which arc substan-
tially correct. Though m an advanced state of pregnancy,
she sustains herself with much firmness under her misfor-
tunes, and must have had considerable pretensions to beauty
when young. She has eight children, six. in London, and
two (thii youngest) with her. Her attendants are, a priest,
a nurse, a French chambermaid, a Spanish cook, and an
Italian valet. She manifests a strong desire to make her-
self agreeable ; but her utter ignorance of every other
save the Spanish language compels us in 11 great mea-
sure, to take the will for the deed. She is so little in the
habit of administering to her own wants, that if a fly or
mosquito rest on her hand, she will call a servant to dis-
lodge it ; and a cigar appears to rank with her among the
necessaries of life. I said she was domesticated with us; I
should rather have stated that she was the guest of Mrs.
Patterson, Commodore Pattcrson's lady, who is here to avoid
the prevailing fever of the city. She goes to New Orleans by
way of the lakes, the first wind that serves, from whence she
is destined to Baltimore and New York, which she will reach
by ascending the Mississippi, and crossing the mountains.—
After her accouchcment she goes to London, when a yearly
pension of 8,000 dollars, allowed her by the Mexican Govern-
ment, is to be paid ; but names Italy as her ultimate des-
tination."

Month, Twenty Thousand Pounds will surely
fall to some who have risked only Ninety-nine
S'hillings.— Vide CaatioL's Scheme for the Lot-
tery to draw on that day.
On Tuesday evening, as a woman named
Jenkins was going up Manchester-street, Man-
chester-square, she observed a horse and gig com-
ing at full speed from the square. Terrified, and
being unable to get further from the enraged ani.
mat than a door-way, she knocked with great vio-
lence, and it was almost instantly opened, which
was, the means of preserving her life, as the beast
plunged at that moment against the rails, which
broke both the shafts, and dashed the vehicle to
pieces, at the same time stunning the animal with
the force of its fall the rail was completely driven
out of the curb-stone, and the lamp-iron was bent
over the foot-path. We-understand the driver
was totally unacquainted with the management Of
ii horse and tilbury, and it is evident that he must
have been playing with the animal at the time
it took fright. The poor fellow paid dearly for
his temerity, as he was thrown out with great
violence, and several of his ribs broken. He was
conveyed to a surgeon's in Dorset-street, who
bled him, and hopes are entertained of his reco-
very.

COURT OF KING'S BENCII—(Tins DAY.)

OBSTRUCTING SHERIFFS' OFFICERS IN THE
EXECUTION OF THEIR DUTY.
T2il•' KING V. DUNN THE ELDER.

This was an indictment against the defendant
for a violent assault on the person of Lawrence
Levy, a Sheriff's officer, and his assistants. It
appeared that a writ having been issued against
Mrs. Mary Nickson, the officers had gone to
her residence, in Arabella-row, Pimlico, for the
purpose of arresting her, on the door being
opened they were informed that Mrs. Nickson
was not up ; but an elderly woman at the
same time replied that Mrs. Nickson was not
there. The officers, however, not believing her
statement, insisted on searching the premises to
fulfil their caption, when the defendant and his
son most violently assaulted them ; they were
taken by the collar, and kept in custody about
three quarters of an hour.

Witnesses were called on the part of the pro-
secution, who proved the assault.
Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Jury on the
part of the defendant, and contended, that if
any assault had been committed, the sheriff
officer and assistants were the first aggressors,
and called several witnesses to refute the prose-
cutor's testimony.

The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE summed up, when
the Jury pronounced their verdict—Not Guilty.
