at .13rackenfteld, was acquitted ; and Samuel Roberts
and William Coates, charged by the Coroner's In.
quest with the, wilful murder of Charles Morewood,
of Walton.upon.Trent, were remanded until next

On Friday last was committed to York. Castle,
Benjamin Oldroyd, late of the parish of Sandal!.
Magna in the West-Riding, charged wish the wil.
ful murder of Joseph Oldroyd,- his father, in the
parish aforesaid.—.l., .01droyd was a labourer at
Milnthorpe Green, near Wakefield, and niore'than
70 years old ; he wail found dead about six o'clock
on 'Wednesday afterpom, in a small croft adjoining

A frost, accompanied by a heavy fall of snow,.
took place in different' Ports of Holland during the

were, in the aft 'of elevation, arrived at about,l3o
feet from the basis of the tower, when a rope (whose
decayed state had been supinely attended to) broke,
and the unfortunate mason was precipitated to the
.ground, from which his body, by the impetus, re.
bounded like a tennis.ball, yet, to the surprize of
:many present, he :survived about an hour. The
poor man left a wife and six children.--By. a most,'
miraculous interposition of Providence, the lives of
the two boys; were preserved, by, a corner of the
machine, in the velocity of descent, catehing on the
bottom ledge. of a window, about 3o feet bigb,
where it rthiained suspended many minutes,
.the

A suspicious person is now lurking alrut
the
country, anti was seen at Liverpool on'Thursd.,l-
- Friday last, who is strongly suspetled to be•th'
noted Ail‘Cabe, the friend and confidante Of .
LOrd Edward Fitzgerald in all his rebelli, u 5 a6•.,ii
He assumes the name of Robert Wallace, is ih!,.o'
five feet four inches high, between thirty and.thirty
five Years •of age, and, like the man, above
to, contrives to change his dress freqnently, ti'•
better to disguise himself. He left 'ate old trunk ;4? -
Liverpool, containing the ciothes in which he v•''
at first seen, and has decamped, dressed in a rt.lY
long old.fashioned single.breasted coati, has
collar very much peaked, and lined uncierocath wit:,
white, black cloth waistcoat, dark mixt c
knit pantaloons, dark stockings,' and itioog rr.st.
leather shoes, unbound and tied, a new check shift,
with a yellow cotton handkerchief about his neck.
a short cropped brown wig divided before, a c arse
-hat, nearly new, and a stick with a small bundle in
his hand, so as to give him altogether .the appear.
ance of an old travelling pedlar.—From what we call
learn, there is every reason to sulk& that (1',5
above.described fellow is a spy in the service of our
inveterate Foe ; it -therefore becomes a duty incom.
bent upon every liohest Briton to aid- in his deter-
Lion. We sincerely hope that a man'of so desperate
a character as MiCair is known to be, and bo
mical to the
,public peace, will not long elude the
vigilance of Justice.
