It is not generally known that application
was made to Lord HILL on behalf of Colonel BAERETON'S
children, that they might receive the difference from the
officer who was promoted on his death. His Lordship
refused the application : he could not, under the circum-
stances, recommend the case to his MAJESTY'S considera-
tion.—Devizes Gazette.

THE WILL OF MR. MUNDEN, THE CELE-
BRATED COMEDIAN.—The will of JOSEPH SHEPHERD
MUNDEN, ESQ. was proved by the oath of FRANCES
MuNnen, widow of the deceased, and one of the surviv-
ing executors in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on
Wednesday last, the 22d of February, JOHN RIGGE, Esq.,
the other surviving executor, having renounced the pro-
bate. The personal effects are sworn to be under 20,0001.
and are bequeathed in trust for the benefit of the widow
and children of the deceased. The will is dated the 12th
of July, 1810. There are five codicils in the will and
two or three trifling legacies to friends. There is also a
bequest of 201. to his son, VALENTINE MUNDEN, and the
testator gives as a reason for leaving him such a small sum,
that he had advanced him 5001. in his life-time. Mr. V.
Mutinnn was a second officer in one of the Hon. East
India Company's ships, and died at St. Helena about
fifteen years ago.
According to PLINY, Rome subsisted 500
years without a physician.
lIOUGHTON AND WATTS' BANKRUPTCY.
—A meeting of the creditors under the fiat of bankruptcy
issued against Messrs. HOUGHTON and WATTS, of Soho-
square, silkmen, took lace on Friday in the Bankrupt
Court. Soon after the bankruptcy Mr. HOUGHTON ab-
sented himself, taking with him 3,100/. in Bank-notes;
p
a reward of 1001. was offered for his apprehension, and a
clerk to the solicitor was despatched to Paris. lie traced
the fugitive to Havre, where it appeared a young man, an-
swering the bankrupt's appearance, had set off for New
York. The vessel afterwards put back by stress of wea-
ther, and the bankrupt, by advice of his friends, returned
to London and gave up 2,9001., having spent the rest of
the money. The debts proved amounted to 5,3001. The
total amount of debts is 18,000/ , and the assets will be
about 12,0001. Further proceedings were adjourned, and
Honcwrox, who remarked, that by giving himself up he
bad saved the creditors 100 guineas, the reward othred,
was ordered to make out his balance-sheet.

The circumstances which led to the prisoner's ap-
prehension are these :—About two years ago he be-
came acquainted with Sarah Rowen, the eldest
daughter of Mr. Rowen, cabinet-maker, of Praed•
street, Paddington, and used means to decoy her
from her paternal roof, and to cohabit with him a-
his wife. The deluded girl, it appears, consented,
but the displeasure of the father having been created
by the imprudence of his daughter, the prisoner, in
order to appease him, and procure money, obtained
a blank certificate, and filling it up, and p camting
it to Mr. Rowen, money was occasionally advanced
upon its faith, and he was completely tired out by
the numerous applications which were made to hitn
for money. The prisoner, at length, procured a si-
tuation as shopman in the house of a rospectable sur-
geon residing in Holborn, tinier the false representa-
tion of his being a single man, and left Sarah Rowen
and his child at lodgings in Bride-street, Islington,
where the prisoner was in the habit of leaving poison
in the way of the young woman, who had frequently
threatened to take poison. While in this situation he
formed an intimacy with a married woman,lodging
in his master's house, which being discovered
Inc
to the house of Mr. Rider, baker, of 5, Hornsey-
row, Hornsey, where they took lodgings, under the
representation that they were man and wife. Sarah
Rowen, on hearing that he had lost his situation,
and was living with a Mrs. Doyley, endeavoured
to discover their retreat; and, on application to Mr.
Wray, surgeon, of Holborn, he readily informed
her where they could be found. The unfortunate
young woman provided herself with a dose of
powdered arsenic, and requested Miss Elizabeth
Starkie, her aunt, to accompany her thither. On
their arriving at Hornsey-ro%v, they proceeded to the
prisoner's apartment, where they found the prisoner
dressed, and Mrs. Doyle in bed. Sarah Rowen
upbraided the prisoner, called him" a wretch," and
retreating to a distant part of the room, she took
from her pocket the paper containing the poison,
which she immediately swallowed, and throwing
the paper at the prisoner, she exclaimed, " The
deed is done." Medical aid was called in, but she
died shortly after she took the poison, at her resi-
dence in Bride-street, Islington. The piirish-oilicers
being applied to for the protection of the deserted
baby, they made every inquiry, and ascertained that
the prisoner was not married to the deceased girl,
and that the certificate was forged; and the Coroner's
Jury gave it as their unanimous opinion, that her
death was accelerated by the ill treatment of the
prisoner.
Mr. Ashley, an overseer of Islington, produced
the certificate, and stated that the father and rela-
tions of the young woman deceased were present.
Mr. LAING asked him what particular charge the
prisoner was brought there upon ?
Mr. Ashley—The representation of the Coroner
and the Jury that the matter ought to be fully in-
vestigated. The decoying the girl from her home,
deserting her and the child, having left dangerous
poisons in her way, and her actually taking that
poison in the prisoner's presence whilst he was living
with another woman, and his forging a marriage
certificate to impose upon the father, would, he
conceived, form some just grounds for a charge
against the prisoner. He had obtained money from
the father of the deceased on the production of the
certificate, and he had threatened the deceased be-
cause she would not make an application to her
fattier for a sovereign. Mr. Stirling, at the inquest,
regretted that he, as a Coroner, could not punish
him as he deserved.

Mr. LAING inquired if there was evidence to
prove the forgery.
Mr. Ashley—The certificate purports that the
marriage ceremony took place at Teddington, in
Surrey, whereas there was no such place in Surrey ;
but there was a Teddington, in Middlesex, to which
place he had written, and he had received an answer
that no such marriage took place at the time men-
tioned, and the curate's name was unknown.
Mr. Rowen, the father, here stated, with tears
in his eyes, that the prisoner enticed his daughter
from her home and treated her cruelly. His wife
died about five years ago, and the deceased, who
was an amiable, industrious girl, acted as his house-
keeper before that fellow (pointing indignantly at
the prisoner) decoyed her away : she was as good
a little creature as ever the world produced. lam
heart broken. He was almost choked with grief.
Miss Starkie, the deceased's aunt, stated that she
was present when the deceased took the poison in
the presence of the prisoner; poison was left in the
deceased's room.

Mr. LAING—Do you think the prisoner left the
poison in the room for the purpose of causing her
to take it ?—Mr. Rowen said that it was likely.
When his daughter refused to apply to him for a
sovereign, he threatened that he would have her
heart's blood.

Prisoner—Did I ever show you that certificate ?
—Mr. Itowen—No.

Mr. LAING (to the prisoner)—Where were you
married ? Prisoner--That I decline to answer. I
don't wish to wound the feelings of any body.
Miss Caroline Rowen stated that she saw the cer-
tificate two months after her sister left home with
the prisoner. I understood my sister to have said

Joseph Bernard now appeared before the Magi-
strate with a warrant, signed by a Chester Magi-
strate, against Roberts, charging him with stealing' a
box and other articles belonging to Mr. Heath. •
Mr.BROUGIITON asked him if he had returned Mrs.
Heath to her husband ?—Bernard said yes; he took
hi-r ark with him in the mad on Monday night.
Mr. BROUGHTON—And how did he receive he
after the trick she had played him ?—The witness
said that when he toGk Mrs. Heath home, she sat
down on one side of the fire, and her husband on the
other; and after they bad sat some time, Mr. Heath
asked her if she did not think herself a very pretty
woman, to serve him so. She made no reply at
first, but upon his repeating the question she said,
" And don't you think you're a very pretty man."
They afterwards went up stairs together, and the
witness went away. He then set off with the war-
rant for Roberts, who had left a wife and two chil-
dren, likely to become chargeable to the parish.
Roberts said he had not stolen any thing belong-
ing to Heath.
Mr. BRouGwros—lf you carry off a married
woman, with property which you know is her hus-
band's, you are chargeable with stealing it.—The
prisoner was sent back to Cheshire.

was very fond of reading novels, to read history, told ber

CALEDONIAN CHURCll.—Yesterday • tnese
exhibitions of extravagance and bLisphemy, under the mime
of the display of " the Tongues," which have for some
time been enacted at the Caledonian Church in Regent-
square, were brought to an unexpected and satisfactory
conclusion. At their commencement, we called upon the
trustees, for the honour of their native land and for the
reputation of their tuitional establishment, to shut up the
chapel ; and we have reason to believe that these gent!_.
men took immediate steps to comply with our recommen-
dation. But as they were responsible to the subscribers
and to other parties interested for the management of a
mass of property, amounting to more than 20,000/ , it
could not be expected that they could act on the unassisted
suggr stion of their own feelings, or without taking the
best legal advice which they could command, both with
respect to the extent of their rights and the amount of
their liabilities. That advice they did not authentically
obtain till within the last fortnight. It fully warranted
them in shutting up the church, and allowing the reverend
miracle-worker and supporter " of Tongues" to apply for
his remedy to the Court of Chancery if he thought him-
self aggrieved by their interference, or if he was not dis-
posed to allow that he had first broken his engagement
with them, by opening the place of worship, which
they exclusively reserved for his own ministrations, to the
vociferations of historical women, or the rhapsodies of fran-
tic men. A notice of this opinion was given to Mr. IRVING
last week, along with an intimation, that it would be
more agreeable to his former friends that he should with-
draw voluntarily, than that he should have the door shut
in Lis face. The intimation has fortunately been success-
ful. While the trustees consulted Sir EDWARD SuODZN,
the Reverend Pastor (in his jargon) consulted " the Lord,"
and as the divine response corresponded with the legal
opinion, the Loan CHANCELLOR will be saved the embar-
rassment and danger of deciding between such high autho-
rities. Accordingly, Mr. IRVING yesterday announced to
the small portion of his old respectable congregation who
have adopted his new spiritual vagaries, that this would
be the last time in which he would be able to address them
from the pulpit of the Caledonian Church. The perform.
ances " on the Tongues," male and female, must therefore,
if they are to proceed, be exhibited on a different stage,
and before a different audience. The dispersed flock,' as
they cannot meet in the old fold, were exhorted to assemble
at their pastor's house till a new place of " gathering"
should be obtained ; and there we leave the professors and
abettors of such fanatical or hypocritical nuisances. If
they do not insist on being considered a portion of a ea-
firma' establishment, or as having a right to disturb public
order, they are perfectly welcome to vociferate inarticulate
sounds, or to indulge in unintelligible j trgon, as long as
they please. We would even recommend them to send to
Turkey for some of the dancing or howling dervishes, who
might give some variety to their exhibtions, and who
would have no difficulty in speaking "in tongues" un.
known to a London audience. In noticing this new form
of folly, and happily putting it down, we need scarcely say
that we have been actuated by no feeling of hostility to re-
ligious sectaries, or any wish to narrow the sphere of reli-
gious liberty. The insult offered to the public mind in
the claim of inspiration by some senseless fanatics, or stu-
pid impostors of both sexes, was too great to he endured ;
but so far are we from wishing any ill to any sincere or ra-
tional worship which differs from our own, that we would
desire to see the Caledonian Church supplied by a new
pastor possessed of Mr. Ittvlsres original popularity, with-
out being liable, from conceit or extravagance, to _is,visiG's
late aberrations.— Times.
