LEWES, APRIL '29.

LAST week Colonel BOOTH inSpeaed tte North
Pevonsey Legion, in its several stations, and ex.'
pressed in strong terms his approbation of its sol-
dier.like appearance, and numer-us attend Ince. The
Colonel, Lord Sturm:l:6, and the Li.:utenant.-
Colonel, the SPEAKER, were present. There are
no troops quartered in North Pevensey, and all the.
Volunteers of the Division are included in the Le.
Om, viz. two Troops, two Rdle Companies, and
twelve Battalion Companies. This Establishment
seems to furnish. the most complete model of a nu-
merous and real Militia, the Members of which are
not liable to be taken from home, nor from their
occupations, until the Enemy appears, and the et-
pence of which would be trifling, The complete
state of this Legion, which is nearly double, in re...
sped to numbers, to any other Corps in the Coon.
try, is highly creditable to the Gentlemen of the
Division, almost the whole of whom, who are of a
proper age, take part in it, and we are proud of
being able to reckon among them, a man who has
immortalized himself as the first, Commoner, and
who, when a few days can he spared from his la.
borious situation, in Parliament, dedicates them,
with the greatest cheerfulneas, to the services of his
neighhortrhood in the country. - The SPEAKER 4t.
tended the North Pevensey ,Easter Sessions last
Monday, at the Sheffield Arms, the meeting of most
bminess the year:

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.*On Thursday even-
ing, about nine o'clock,. an attempt was made by a
Jew to murder N. BrOwn,,a42uaker,a very infirm
old man, residing near' the Marsh Gate Turnpike,
Lambeth. The fellow had 'been in the habit of
dealing .with Mr. Brown, who keeps a broker's
shbp, and a few days before Mr. B. .lent him 21.
which he was to repay on the Thursday : on that
day he came to the shop, with three or four 'other
Jews, And wanted to borrow. 31., in addition. Mr.
B. refused to lend Min any more. About nine
o'clock at night he came again, just after IV r. B.
had closed his shop, and after some alteration
drew out a knife and cut axis throat. Mr. B. 'Med
Out " Murder !" and- Mr. Miller, a neighbour,
with some of his men, came to his assistance, burst
open the door, and secured the 'villain, who was
conveyed to prison.
Mr. Brown was found lyiNig on the ground, with
his throat dreadfully cut, and bleeding profusely :
he was conveyed to a Surgeim's : fortunately the
villain had missed his. windpipe, the wound was
sewed up, and he was taken and put to bed in the
house of Mr. Bodenham, the Crown, corner of the
Marsh Gate. It is supposed the villain's Obi ta
was plunder, as well as murder, as Mr. Brown re.
sided alone.

Ft tc e.—On Thursday night, at a late hour, as
Mr. POATER, who plays at the Royal Amphitheatre,
at Westminster Bridge, was returning home down
the Westminster Road, he observed a blaze-like the
furniture of a bed burning, at a pawnbroker's, who is
generally called Piro, flick. Conceiving the peril
the persons must be in, he endeavoured to alarm the
family, but in vain, and his humanity prompted
him to burst open the outer door, and rush up stairs,
where he found the bed and window curtains in
flames, and the mistress of the house, and a child of
six years old, in the bed asleep. He awakened
Mother with difficulty, and ran down stairs with the
child in his arms ; the peril may be conceived when
his clothes were partly burned, and wholly singed
in getting into the Road. The mother, who.is lusty
and heavy, as well as advanced in life, also got out,
though much hurt. The fire was soon after gut under,
after consuming a number of pledge► as well as nit
articles.

A Representation which keeps the mind alive to
the fame of 40 many iiitlSttiOLll Heroes who have
adorned the Annals of this Country, must prove
highly gratifying to every beholder : this is done
most effettually in the Knights of the Garter at the
Royal Circus, by its correct and animated display
of that magnificence which attended the late Instal.
lotion at Windsor. The whole is admirably aided
by the introduainn of several highly Comic Cha.
raeters, together with a very pleasing Duet, 'seve.
rat appropriate Songs, which are well executed ;
and the truly superior Dancing of the Giroux's ; the
Scenery also, which is finely executed, deserves to
be particularly noticed.
