ARTICLIIS CF TfIE.pBACE.

John Wharton,. Esq, of Grosvenor-Square, ex-
hibited articks_ of the peace against liachael Boilock.
The, conplajnant set forth that the detendantatitas
greatly.annoyed the, pro:ecutor, insOnuich that he
became al.irtuvd for his.per;onalls )fety.
The defendant, when Called upon to account for
this, miSconduct, stated that the prosecutor, atter
birth of a child, that. he has since taken from her,
bad .treate,l her with peglect and cruelty, and left
her to stare. She set forth a great variety of in-
juries that she sustained by the prosecutor,land by
bis sme:ons, and that_ she was. totally destitute of
friends and relazions.

The Court ?bserved, that it was not within their
province to take.notiie of any wrongs of. 'hat de-
scription of witch .she complained ;; she might have
redress elsevvhere. She was ordered to find.. bail to
keep the.peace for one year,.bersell in SQI. and two
surooes of 251. each..

The business of the Sessiort. endtcl, and the Court
adjourned.

OLD BAILEY.

fully promised—should be-paid on the .ensturg day,
at four. Matters being thus concluded, the prose-
cutor gave up the key of his house, ptc.rtnising to
cal) the ensuing morning,' to take away tiie things
mentioned in the inditimeur, v.theh he had reserved
' for his own use, and would not sell to the prisoners.
On his coming the next morning, however, the
bird was flown, and every article of goods which
bad been fictitiously purchased by the prisoners, to-
rifler with the things whieh the prosecutor intend-
ed for his own imMediate use, were mov.-d
neighbour soon informed him that the two prisoners
had been seen. at the house, with a horse and cart,.
at five in the morning, and bad carried every thing
away. Tae person who gave this inormation, how-
ever, suspecting all was nut right, had the precau-
tion so send his boy to wotch the cart, and it'was
traced to . Charles-street, 13ridgewater-Gar.lens,
where all the things were deposited. The prose-
cutor immediately procured a search-warrant,. and
proceeded to the spot,. as directed, where be met
the prisoners, who. were of course. much surprised,
to see him, and became extremely abusive. The
goods were however found on their piemeies, and
they were taken into custody, as it was evident their
intention was to defraud the prosecutor. The in-
diament could, of course, only be laid for the things
which had not been nominally sold to the prisoners;
and on a clear investigation of the facts, the capital
part of the charge, implicating the prisoners with
stealing the articles in the thvelling-house of the
prosecutor, was done qway, upon the g,ronad that
the prosecutor had by his cwn ad, is delivering the
key, forfeited all right to a pos,ession of the house.
The case, therefore, was reduced to a simple theft,
of which they were found Guilty, which subjects
then to transportation.

_The Chambermaid swore to their percous 2,.nd

I Mrs.- Ward, of the Saracen's Head, Snow-hill,
stated that they lodged two nights at her house, and
f. bad stolen about-eighteen pounds of feathers from
two beds. By. the exertions, of this lady the pri-
. savers xi:tie stopped at Mrs. Howard's, in Fen-

PUBLIC-OFFICE, WHITECHAFEL.—(A •cAsa OF
MURDER.)—Yesterday James Sweeney, Richard
Pearce, Edward Buckley, Patrick Fleming, Mau-
rice Brumick, John Sullivan, and Cornelius Hayes,
underwent a final examination betbre Sir DANIEL*
WItLIAMS, charged with the wilful murder of Mr.
John Bowling, landlord of the Eagle and Child,
Forest-Gate, Westham, Essex; by making a torcible,
entry into his house on Sunday night, the 20th
ult, armed with bludgeons, and beatitig him over
the body in a most savage manner, and of which
wounds he died on the 27th folloWing. The evi,
deuce of the bar-maid of the house was very strong
against all the prisoners, excepting Hayes, who
took a humane pact to prevent the murder. The_.
six former were fully committed to take. their trials
at the next CheltusfOrd Assizes; Hayes was ad-
rnitted-an evidence.

ST, Jour's (ANTIGUA), Aptut. 5. London, an
elderly negro man slave, and Ryan; a female slave,
were on Friday executed for an attempt to poison
the Lady of C.'WHITa, Esq. Naval Commissioner
at English Harbour, by infusing a quantity of lauda-
num into a glass of Portev handed to Mrs. WHITE
at dinner. Ryan was housekeeper in the family,
and purchased the poison froM London, and pre-
vailed upon a servant boy (previonSly executed), to
mix it in his mistress's drink
.; the colour and smell
of the liquor excited INli S. WHITE'S suspicion, and
fortunately she only tasted it. —rile evidence upon
which they were convicted was the most conclusive.
and satisfactory; yet boar the prisoners asserted their
innocence to the last. - Ryan was the only woman
executed on this bland for more than go years.
Lord Cow.tHowoon always expressed an anxiouo'
wish that he might die at sea ; and finding his disso-
lution fast approaching, while his flag-ship lay at Port
Mahon, he ordered., her to be got under weigh
which being. done, she was obliged to be warped
out, on account of the wiricl being foul , and thus
the gallant Admiral was gratified in his professional
desire, as hp expired with the utmost resignation
and composure, two days after she got tp sea.

Copy of a Letter flan" Sir Arthur Wellesley to General 0'
Donoghue, dated Dele)tosa, Aug. 9, 1809.
DEAR SIR,

I arrived, here this morning ; the whole army
has passed over the worst part of the road. One
division is at Mesa (Mot., but all the artillery is by
thiS time at Campillos. The advanced guard upon
the Tagus, oppoiite Altnaraz. I have sent an Engi-
neer to look:at the river, to examine and settle what
defences it will require, which I shall* have -con,
struded forthwith, and I will replace the bridge.
I shall want some Spanish artillery of heavy calibre,
however, to arm these batteries, and for this, as well
as for other reasons, I would recommend to Gene-
ral Cuesta to take -early measures to send the greater
pat t, it not tie whOle, (Allis heavy artillery, through.
the mountains as soon as he "can, as well as his
Valenctan and Catalottian carts, which travel through..
these mountains with r great aigiculty, and can be of
no use to him where he is.

I will this day, if I can get it copied, or to-mor-
row, send you a report of the Tagus, .from the
bridge of Talavera to that of Almaraz, from
:witich
you will see an, account of t 1 Baseas milldams ifnd
p,oids. It will lippear. from -Os report, that 110
enemy would not find it di cult to throw over the
river some light infantry between you and us,
which, we might find inconvenient in the ins
interruption of our coinaulnication, if in nothing
else.

I therefore recommend to you to have a division of
infantry at MeSad'lbor, it. only with a view ()Ike, p-
ing up the communication between the tu•o artn'es ;
but I have also observed,• that this is a very strong
post indeed, and •in case• of any accidents 'ori :yotkr
right, it would effedually secure your retreat.

I have the honour to be, tirc.

V. M.

DEAR SIR,
• I had learnt casually from the Duke of Albuquern
que the nature of the affairs of yesterday at the brijge
bf Arzobispo, and the extent of the loss of the Spa-
nish army, when Gen. Cuesta'S aide-du-camp ancl
Col. Roche arrived here.
You should, without ross of time, rt.iuforce Per 4.,
lade de Garbins if you still hold that village. If you
tint, you shOuld at all events reinforce the heights
on the left of the rocky rivulet on-this side of Pets.
lode, whiCh ought to he held by a small. body
against a whole army, and which must be held by
the Spanish army during this night and to,nroirow
at all events:

You should then post a strong reserve upon the
heights of Mesa -d'ibor, and employ the men on the
heights in drawing up by 'hand your artillery,
in the coarse of this night. My artillery can all
be drawn up io one night in this manner.
if you do not:adopt these measures, are if yott
men omit to do their duty, your artillery will eetlain,
ly be lost.

You should occupy Te;nedos and Pt.raloier S.
Vincenti, and the passages on the left of Mesa d'l,
bor, towards the Tagus.

wish that I could do any thing for yOu, but if
my troops were to quit the defile, it would only
make matters worse.

hf I was informed of Gener4l Cuesta's intentions,
I would attack the enen-ty at Paraled,r, if he is
there, with.a part of the. infantry, while the re-
mainder should be employed inihelping up the artil-
lery rather than lose it.

A thousand men would be sufficient to draw up
:1-he artillery and carriages. But you imust know your
troops better than I do, and, at 'all events. I am cer-
tain that, by occupying and defending the pp. is
'which I have pointed out, your artillery and all may
be saved.

I have the honour to be, &c.

To General O'Donoghue,

Copy of a Letter from Sir A. Wellesley to the Marquis
JeOey,\ dated Deleytosai Aug. fo, 1899.
!WY LO!tD,
, I have been to General Cuesta's bead quarters
at the Mesa d'lbor. The whole of his artillery,
&c. all his wheel carriages, had crossed the'lbor,
and about one-half of the whole of each appeared to
me,to have been brought up tate mountain on this
side of the Ibor at twelve o'clock. The enmity's
light troops were in Peraleda de Gavin, those of
General Cuesta in Bohonal. The enemy had made
no movement since yesterday morning.
The General complained of his distress for provi-
sions, which, indeed, is equally telt by all the
troops. The horses of the British cavalry and ar,
tillery suffer much from the want of barley. We
have lost many hundreds of the,former, and above
two hund,ed of the latter, by the use of other grains;
not
,having been able to -,procure barley (the only
wholesome food for horses in this country) for the
horses of the British cavalry and artillery, notwith-
standing that the Spanish cavalry have been
plenti-
fully supplied. I have also to mention to. your Ex.-
cellency, just to point out the description of assist-
ance which is given to us in this country, that, hay,
ing applied for a remount for the cavalry of only one
hundred mares (which. cannot be used by the Spa.
nish cavalry, as they ride stallions), I have not got
one, or even an answer from the Government upon
the subjeet ; and having asked General Cuesta, atter
the bailie of Talavera, to assist me with nn mules
to draw the British artillery, in lieu of those lost in
the action, 'he refused to give me any, notwith-
standing there were hundreds in his army employed
in draWing carts containing nothing. The \conse—
quence is, that I shall now be obliged to smd bck
to Portugal one, if not two brigades of artillery,
drawn by bullocks, it I should be able to procure
those animals; if I should not, 1 most destroy them.
