the Commissioners and Governors of Giotnwiclt
Hospital, were brought to the Office by Vick.-Ty,
and admitted to bait, thernselt es in 501, and two

to answer each charge, he was committed,
James Ponten, the agent of. Gawler, was present,
in the custody of Lavender, but was not examined.
Mr. Marter, the Solicitor of Greenwich Hospital,
attended the proceedings.
A deserter from the C,lds!ream Regiment of
Guards, charged with the murder of a woman near
Watertmd, in company with whom he hall bees
previously seen, has been arrested, and has confessed
the crime. He said lie had net the woman on
board a ship on his passage from Bristol to Cork,
on his way to visit his ftiends on a furlough, and
formed an intimacy with her; that she induced flirt")
to desert, promising to put him in possession of
so:ne property left to her by a relation in the Norco
of Ireland ; that he ha I accompanied her so far on
the way, when his mind being tormented by re,
fle,':ling on his desertion, he reproached the woman
as being time cause ! An altercation ensued, in
which he gave her a blow with a stick, that brought
her to the ground, and then, as he expresses it, 110
seas tempted to finish her," and effected that horrid
purpose with a s•one.

AboAt three or four months sines-, Colney House,
near St. Alban's, the residence of Patrick Hadow,
Esq. was rubbed of a quantity of wearing apparel.
The robbery wag committed in the night. Ou the
morning foilowing_ it was ascertained that the
house had not ben, broken into, but that soma
person had broken out. It afterwards appeared,
that at an early hour in the morning,- a girl, who had
formerly been in Mr. Hadow's service, was met
with a bundle, going to ,cards London, On Tues•
day evening a man net this girl in a lane near
Cohey House, and informed Mr. Hadow's butler of

had got into the house, a general search took place;
when they cure to the door of a spare bed-room,
they found tire door fast, and the key not in the
door. Ti.cy forced an entrance 'into the room,„
when they found the suspeded girl sitting by the

MARLBOROUC-I-STREET4--We have before stated
that a Clerk in a Banking-house, at the west end
of the town, had absconded on the preceding Wed-
r's(-lav with very considerable property belonging:
to the firm of which he was a servant. The pp-
goner was taken into custody -at Sandgate, near the
.Hythe, in Kent, at ten o'clock on. Wednesday, anil
Yesterday he underwent an examination. The pro-
Peri), with whiith the prisoner absconded was not
stated further than a 2001. note, and another of 501.;
~but it is understood to be several thousand pounds.
the notes named were taken out of a drawer at the
tanking-house, but the other property was obtained
by the prisoner
.by transfer from the books, sub.-
stituting names and embezzling the money pur-
porting to have been transferred.
In addition to this, there were other charges
against the prisoner for frauds, which he had carried
into execution by making use of hiS emplOyers'
names, and these frauds ate considerable. Conjec-
ture had been for some time past afloat with re-
°Pea to the route the prisoner had taken, but the
Prosecutors at length receiied information from, a
*Banker, at Hythe, in Kent, who had formerly
belonged to their house, that the prisoner was there.
Ile had slept at the said Banker's one night, but he
• 'withdrew from liyihe the next morning, and was .
found at Sandgate, about three miles from thence,
Übere Marsden, a constable from this Office, and
Stotre,took lihrt into custody.- On the prisoner the
L6°l. note taken out of the drawer at the Bulking-
L},onse, was found, as well as others to more than
The amount in small notes, with a bag of guineas
and small gold, together with some Portuguese
tcl'io•—The prisoner rec,lntly married a very ac-
oniplished young Lady, the daughter of a Gentle-
flan in the neighbourhood of May-fair, who was kept
in the dark respecting this business. The 2001,
note before spoken .of, remains unaccounted for,
°llclihe full extent of the embezzletnek cannot
46 Yet be ascertained.
-L'he prisoner was committed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

THURSDAY, :TAN. 23.

An Hon. Member, whose name we could not
learn, moved for eut Account, of the amount of the
Hereditary Revenue arising out of the Civil Esta-
jolishment of Scotland, in the years 1804, 5,6, 7,
8,9, 10, and,' 1, ending the 56 of Oduber ; and
also, of all Payments made therefrom, distinguish-
ing Pensions from oilier Bilis. He sa►d, it appear-
ed on an investigation three years ago, that the Fund
to which his motion referred, amounted formerly
to 40,0001. and that the Pensions on it 'were 6,0001.
it had afterwards increased to 85,0001. a year, and
the Pensions in a still greater proportion, advanced
to 36,0001. A Resolution was entered into (6y the
House, about two) ears ago, providing, that if should
not exceed 25,0001. a year, and that the excess
should be_carried to the Civil List. He thought if
desirable that the House should be possessed of in-
formation on this subjea, previous to the altera-
tion which they were about to vote in the Civil
List.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought,
that as the House was already possessiot, of some
accounts on this subject, it would be sufficient to
take it up from the passing of the last accounts,
which would be sufficient to shew what balance re-
mained on hand.
After a' few words from Mr. TIERNEY, and the
Mover of the Motion, the Motion was limited to
the years 1808, 9, 10, and 11/
Agreed to.
Mr. TIERNEI wished to' knoW, what the inten-
tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman was, with re-
speat to the second reading of the Bill for Regu-
lating his Majesty's Household ? The 'Papers re-
lating to the Lord Chamberlain's Department were
;not yet given in, on which account he thought it
would be more convenient to the House to have the
second reading postponed froth Friday to Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
the Papers alluded to would be in readiness' imme-
diately -; at the - same time, if the interval was not
considered sufficient for a perfect understanding of
them, he thought that the debate on the principle
of the Bill, instead of taking place, as was customary,
on the second reading, should take place qn the
question, that the Speaker should leave the Chair,
for the purpose of going into a Committee.
• Mr. TIERNEY said, that as it was not his inten-
tion to give any unnecessary delay to the progress
of the Bill, he felt no hesitation in agreeing to the
suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman ; his ob-
ject was fully answered by the postponement of the
debate to Monday next, which was the day ap-
pointed ior the commitment of the Bill.
THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDG.E.
Lord COCHRANE said it was hi. 4 intention to call
the notice of the House, and of the Couotry, to the
condu6t of an Illustrious Individual, who had awed
in a manner becoming the best times ; be alluded to
the Duke, of Cambridge, who had- resigned the
command of the Horne DistriCt, under circumstances
peculiarly honourable to his character and patriotism.
He (Lord Cochraie) did not wish to plovoke any
observations from those who were anxious the
example should remain unknown, and unimitated,
but he was determined that it should be known,
and he was confident that it must be imitated by
all those who wished well to their country. If
every individual pursued the same course of resign-
ing unnecessary and sinecure oiiices,•the best etreas
would follow, and a great saving would by made to
the public. He understood that the place resigned
by his Royal Highness amounted to 40001. a-year,
besideS provision for 20 horses. There were, he
was told, ,other advantages attached to it, but as he
was -not perleCtly acquainted with their nature, he
should say nothing about them. As (from what
cause he shoOld not pretend to state). no mention
Of this resignation was made in the Gazette, or
comniunicaied in any other way to the public, he
wished it to be undeistood that it was his intention
to submit a motion for the purpose of recording the
faCt. upost the J.urnals of the House, and transmit-
ting his Royal Highness's tiaxie to posterity, as a
benefactor of his country. - He concluded with
moving for the letter of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge re,signir.g the command of the
Home District, and also for the reply to the same
ordered by his Royal Highness the Commander in
Chief.

Lord PALMERSTONE submitted to the House
whether the Noble Lord had made out any ground
for his motion. He had no hesitation in stating,
that if the letters alluded to were produced, they
would be found'to contain nothing but a simple re-
signation on the part of the Duke. of Cambridge,
and -a formal acceptance on the part Of the Com-
mander in Chief. Conceiving, -as he did, that no
ground was wade out, he should certainly resist' the
cuotions .

Ldra CodrißiNu said he cf not move for the
ci
Papers from an idea that they contained any thing
olimportance, but merely for the purposc,of groiind-
in,,r, a motimi on there.
The motion was then reje&ed without a division.
