Mr. A r.r.Ey stated the case. Oar Iteaders,will
recollect that the prosecutrix was lately tried and
acquitted at the Old Bailey, on a charge of hav-
ing stolen several articles of w;aring apparel
is hilst in the service.of the defendant Wilmot.

Witnesses were examined to prove the cir
cumstances under which the charge was first
brought and dißnissed, and then renewed, upon
the.prosecutrix. haling arrested Wilmot for 151.
of wages due Co her. The evidence pievionsly
given in her behalf was like Wise repeated', and
the indictment pf which the prosecutrix had been
tried at the. Old Bailey was. put in, which closed
the caSe‘for the prosecution.
Mr. Ccuwoon made an eloquent speech for
the prisoner Wilmot.
The prisoner Want addressed the Jury in a
long speech, in which he undertook to disprove
by.evidence the most important facts that had
been sworn on the part of the. prosecutrix. As
soon as he had finished his address, the Chair-
man observed, that -the trial had then lasted
eight hours, and. that there'could be little doubt
of its-lasting eight more, and pro Posed an ad-
journment till to-morrow, (this day)' which was
agre.ed to.

MURDER AT ITIGTIG.A.TE.

ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF BARRETT AND HIS WIFE.
—.Yesterday being appointed for the re-examination of Barrett
and his Wife, they were again brought up from the House of
Correction ; and at nine o'clock their examination was resumed
before the Rev. Dr. OWEN, in the Justice-room, Highgate.
The Court was again excessively crowded, and Messrs.,But-
ler and Henson, jun. were in attendance, to afford legal assist-
ance. Mr. Hale, the master of the deceaserl, was also present.
The prisoner Barrett appears not at all to -be affected under
the heavy charge laid against him ; but his wife appears to be
greatly embarrassed, in consequence of her situation, and was
very much altered to what she was on the last examination on
Tuesday, and she was so very weak that she sat down during
best part of the time.
Nothing material was elicited with respect to the murder.
Several of Mr. Rothschild's servants identified many articles,
both of wearing apparel and household furniture, in the posses-
sion of the prisoners.
Here Barrett suggested that one of the witnesses should look
at a pair of gaiters to identify ; but as all the servants had
looked at them it was not thought necessary.
Mr. Butler proposed, as they could go on no further with
evidence, in consequence of the absence of Miss Percival and
other witnesses, an adjournment for three weeks, which was
consented to by Dr. Owen, who requested the witnesses to an-
nounce to their mistress that the ends of justice should be com-
pleted, and all the witnesses should positively attend at the ap-
pointed time in order that they might be bound over to prosecute.
Mr. HENSON, at the request of Barrett, applied for the pro-
perty to be delivered to the prisoner which was not identified,
and likewise some letters in their possession.
Mr. PHILLIPS had no objection to that part of the property
which belonged to the prisoner being delivered to him, but he
would not consent to ally document being► delivered to him, and
John Joss, the officer, who searched Barrett's lddgings, and
found the property stolen there, received orders to keep the
things in his possession until the trial at the next Sessions.
The prisoners were then remanded and taken from the Bar ;
on going into the street they were followed by crowds of persons,
who remained until they were taken back in a coach to the
House of Correction. The female
.prisoner on walking along
complained of something, and the male prisoner said, " Keep
your spirits up like me."
It was suggested, after the examination, that a watch found
in the prisoner's possession should be examined, and Conway,
the officer, was sent for it.

POETRY.

SONG. •
DT THE SPIRIT OF A DANDY.
Oh wake thee not, dearest ! no Demon hath started
To brood upon raven-wing o'er thee ;
I'm the spirit polite of a BEAL- that's departed,
And linger on earth to adore thee !
Too tenderly fram'd for this rude world of man,
And for kindlier regions intended,
I was slain with a frown and the flirt of a fan,
And to Folly's Elysium ascended :
There fops of all ages for ever are hymning
The charms of young beauties like you, Love ;
On wings of white lace from some gay coquette's trimming,
Or cut from her last billet-doux, Love !
There lightly on clouds, in their tandems aerial,
The spirits of " four in hand Hectors,"
With boot unsubstantial, and harness unreal,
Astonish pedestrian spectres.
There dance we and sing we as softly as syrens,
•
But nought from this world that's plebeian,
One only sweet lyric of Moore or of Byron's—
One only quadrille—,4 the Psychean."
And lo ! on.the moon-beam in silence I slip,
From eternity's region of blisses,
To fan with my pinions thy bosom and lip
Till thy dreams be of sighs and of kisses.
But the pale dawn awakes—l must fly, Love, from thee,
Ere her smile in the east she discloses :
To a light dejeunee upon lavender tea, •
And purified otto of roses !

GENUINE ANECDOTE.-(PAT'S JOURNEY TO TOWN.)—
Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, lately riding out in the vicinity
of Dublin, met a traveller well mounted, whom he quickly re-
cognised for a countryman cf his own ; he therefore familiarly
accosted him, by asking him where he had come from, to which
the other quickly replied, " From Tipperary, your honour."
" And whither going ?" said Sir Benjamin. Why, your
honour, no farther than Dublin, just to see the King." What,
man, all the way to Dublin only to see the King ?" said Sir
Benjamin. " Why not ?" rejoined the other : DIDN'T HE
COME TWICE AS FAIL TO SEE ME ?" Sir Benjamin was
satisfied, and rode off highly delighted with the naivette of his
countryman.

A E cDorr E.—An Englishman, who, attracted by the amo-
nity of the climate, wished to fix his residence in 'Naples, de-
sired his banker to look out for a villa for him, which was done,
and the gentleman regularly. installed in his purchase: the next
day, however, he came in much hurry and alarm to his banker,
to say, he was determined to be off, for a fellow had assailed
him with a claim for 12,000 crowns, which he swore had been
lent half a dozen years ago, though the poor Englishman was
scarcely a month old in Italy. How many witnesses has he
got to prove it ? said the banker. No less than ten. What is
to be done ? Acknowledge having received the money. Ac-
knowledge the debt ? Certainly, and we will get 20 witnesses
to swear that they saw you repay it. This was decisive; for
the law suit was settled by a simple rejoinder, and meeting the
cheat upon his own terms.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, SEPT. 12.—1 n our market on Saturday 16
pockets of old hops were weighed; prices 40s. to 60s.—There
were 14 New Pockets at market; 60s. was asked for them,
but they were not sold, the sample being indifferent.—There
are partial complaints from the Plantation of mould,' but no
doubt a great abundance of fine hops will be grown. We take
this opportunity of cautioning the Planters not to hurry the
hops over the kiln. —Picking has commenced, chiefly where
the mould is observed ; it will be very general next week ;
hands are scarce.

SPARRING.

Shelton, a first-rate scientific boxer, had a benefit at the Fives
Court yesterday, and considering the wetness of the day, it was
a tolerably good court. There was a want of artists in the pro-
fession, four cf the principal boxers being in training, and half
a dozen others not in condition ; there was, however, some
good setting-to. After Tom Jones, as Master of the Ceremo-
nies, had finished his preparations, Jemmy Lennox commenced
the sport with one of his pupils.
Ben Burn and.Bitton had a scientific bout, but most decidedly
in favour of the former, whose intruding left marl* y was never
out of his adversary's face a minute together, and Bitton was
unable to return.

Sampson and Richmond's Black.—This was a very interesting
match, at Sampson's request. The black fought once and won,
since which, .he has been kept as it were in a box. Some coil
sidered him, from his powers, a match for any of the big ones,
but this set-to has reduced him to a mere automaton, and spoiled
any aniateur from matching him. Sampson turned loose
upon him, although three stone and upwards lighter, drew the
claret from his nose, and hit him to every part de; the stage ; in
the second bout he placed his left-handed hits upon the nose
and mouth, and crimsoned the boards. In the third round
Blackee wanted to give in, but another round being vociferated,
and after he had conformed to it, he made his bow quite satisfied.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WiGnr, MAY 17.—This
day the remains of Lady MARIA GREY, daughter
of the Earl of STAMFORD and WARRINGTON,
passed through this town from Bonchurch to the
family vault, Cheshire.
MODERN GREEKS.—The remembrance of their
ancient glory is not totally extinct. When Mr.
ANSON was upon his travels in the East, he hired
a vessel to visit the island of Tehedos. His pilot,
an old Greek, as they were' sailing along, said
with great glee, " There it was that our fled
lay." Mr. ANSON asked " What fleet i" " What
fleet!" replied the old man (a little piqued at the
question), " why our Grecian fleet at the siege
of Troy."
ANECDOTE.—TIIC celebrated Earl of HARD-
WICKE, Chancellor of Great Britain, was the son
of an attorney at Dover. During his education
for the law, which commenced by his e
isfrsegruveitlgti3t:
clerkship with an attorney, he was
teazel by the wife of his employer, a notable
housewife, with trifling errands, as foreign to the
ci-cumstances of his profession, as they were in-
consistent with propriety and decorum. Ile
soon took an opportunity to put an end to this
without positive and peremptory refusal. "As
you are going by the Green Grocer's, Mr. Yorke,
will you be so good as to buy me a cauliflower ?"
%las the last request he was ever troubled with.
At his return the cauliflower was produced,
which he observed cost one shilling and sixpence
' —sixpence for the cauliflower, and a shilling for
a sedan chair to bring it home in !

IRISH PRISONS.

The Irish vPrisons Bill was read a third time,
and ordered to be committed on Monday next.
POST-OFFICt.

Sir Was. CURTIS moved for copies of the cor-
respondence which had taken place between the
postmasters-General and the Lords of the Trea-
sury on the subject of the act for regulating the
system of postage.
Mr. WAnnE was of opinion that Government
ought not to proceed further in the measure al-
luded to in the motion of the Honourable Baro-
net, until the House was in possession of the do-
cuments now moved for. He took this opportu-
nity of expressing his objection to the measure in
liz-zine. It could, in fact, only be considered in
the nature of a bounty on cruelty and inhumanity.
Mr. CURWEX defended the Postage Act. He
contended that by the new regulation 10 hours
each day would be gained on the time at present
'occupied by the mails in travelling, which must
;die of great advantage to persons engaged in mere
&tn ti le transactions.
'After a few words from Mr. JOHN SMITH and
Mr. LUSHINCTON, the motion was agreed' to.
Sir Was. CURTIS then moved for some papers
on the same subject, which were ordered to be
produced.
London, England, 1821-05-18

FORGERY PUNISHMENT MITIGATION BILL.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, that notwithstanding
the unfavourable state of the House, the circum-
stances of the Session compelled him to rise to
move that the order of the day for the second
reading of the Forgery Punishment Mitigation
Bill should be then read. lie should reserve
such observations as he had to' make in favour of
the Bill to that stage of it when he conceived that
he could urge them to the best advantage.
The order of the day was then read.
Mr. F. BUXTON wished to know whether the
Noble Lord opposite would allow this question
to be postponed to some evening when there was
likely to be a fuller attendance of Members.
His Hon. Friend had for the public convenience
postponed his Bills altogether during the last
Session of Parliament. He trusted that the No-
ble Lord would allow some day to be fixed on
which they could hope for a fuller attendance on
the discussion of a Bill which was of so serious a
nature as the present.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY was of opi-
nion that the House would be better filled at a
more advanced hour of the evening.

Mr. F. PAL7ttErt did not think:that a full at-
tendance could be hoped for that night.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that the
debate might be taken on the next stage.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH had no objection to read-
ing the Bill pro forma a second time, taking the
discussion and division on the next stage, provid-
ed it were understood that there was to be but
one discussion and division.

The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that that
must depend on the amendments introduced.
Sir J. Maciimosu observed, that the amend-
ments would have the effect of rendering the mea-
sure less objectionable. The next discussion
might be taken in goyd faith on the principle.

After a few worscis from the SOLtcrroa-GENTE-
RAI. and Sir J. MAcKINTosit, the Bill was read a
second time, and the Committee fixed for Wed-
nesday.
The Dwelling House Robbery Bill, and the
Navigable Rivers Robbery Bill, were also read
a second time, and the Committee fixed for Wed
nesday.

IRELAND.(DUNMORE HARBOUR.)

A COPY of the REPORT of Mr. THOMAS TELFORD,
dated 10th February, 1821 ; and a COPY of a REPORT
of Mr. ALEXANDER N IMMO, dated 20th February,
1821; upon the WORKS of DUNMORE HARBOUR.

(1.)-MR. TELFORD'S REPORT.
Bangor Ferry, Feb. 10, 1821.
Sin—Agreeably to your directions, I proceeded to and
examined the Works at the Harbour of Dunmore. They have
now been carried to a very considerable extent, and into upwards
of thirty feet e.epth of water, at low water of ordinary spring
tides ' • they have been performed in a manner which reflects
equal credit on those who planned, and those who conducted
and more immediately superintended the sundry operations.
The performances, by means of the improved diving machine,
contrived by the able engineer, Mr. Nimmo, will be an excellent
model for similar works where a great depth of water is re-
quired, or where rocks are to be removed under water. The
resident manager, Mr. M'Gill, has, by sagacious conduct and
unrernitted exertions, not only pushed on the works generally
with regularity and dispatch, but has brought the diving bell
operations, in great depths, to a degree of simplicity, safety snd
celerity, which is scarcely credible; the workmen actually pre-
ferring them to the works above high water mark. All that re-
lates to payments and pecuniary concerns, has been equally well
conducted by Mr. R01...rt Grubb, under the direction of the
General Post Office.

But having now not only provided effectual protection and
accommodation for the packets, but also for the revenue and
trading vessels of great draft of water; and as any further exten-
sion, in so great a depth of water, with occasional interruptions
from violent storms, would be attended with much trouble and
expence; I therefore recommend that the engineer be directed
to take the necessary measures to complete the works now on
hand, with all practicable dispatch, and without attempting any
further. extension.

Although the harbour protection will be very complete, the
accommodation for passengers, after landing, will still be im-
perfect, until a comfortable inn or hotel has been constructed
near the landing-place ; and for such an establishment there is
ample space on the cleared ground on the north side of the high,

ridge of rock, which forms a aesirabie prOtection, not only to
that space but to the harbour itself.

I cannot close this Report without stating, that when the
works have been complet✓d as here recommended, a very
valuable station will have been acquired in a very important
point of the coast; and this, whether we regard the port of
%Waterford, and the feitile districts to the north and west of it,
the occasional protection to the revenue cruizers and general
coasting traders, or to the connection with the south western
parts of England. The accommodation will also be sufficiently
extensive for all that can be at present contemplated ; and if in-
creased prosperity requires more, the present termination offers
no obstruction to extending the works to meet the greatest
possible demands. (Signed) THOS. TELFORD.

(2.)—mn..Ni3lmo's REPORT.,

During the season 1820, the rough mole of the pier at Dun-
more has been carried out nearly to the extent proposed. The
storms of December have brought it to the slope and firmness
proper for receiving the pavement on the sea front. The quar-
rying for this pavement will, during next season, furnish all
the additional rubble stone requisite to complete the extent esti-
mated for.

I would not recommend any further extension of this mole
until the benefit of the harbour be more fully experienced ; and
I have reason to believe the estimate formerly furnished will
cover all the expense of completing the pier in its proposed
dimensions, viz. £12,500.
Of that estimate, two grants of £12,000 each have been al-
ready voted by Parliament, leaving a 'valance of the estimate of
£18,500.

Ten thousand pounds are required to carry on the works
during next season. These works will chiefly be, the corripie-
tion of the pavement and parapet on the sea side, and the wliarf
wall on the inside of the mole ; for which last work it has be-
come necessary to procure proper stone (especially for the div-
ing bell part), at some miles distance up the haven ; the quarry
in the wighbourhood of the pier being nearly exhausted.
For further information as to the present state of the I arbour,
I beg leave to refer to the report of 31r. Telford, who 1 as lately
visited the works, at the reques': of the General Post °lice ;
and which report I understand has been t •ansmitted to G wern-
Inca. (Signed) ALEXANDER Nl,ll_llo.

Dr. LUSIIINGTON presented a petition, very
numerously signed by the inhabitants of the town
and neighbourhood of Stroud, in the county of
Gloucester. Amongst the petitioners were per-
sons of every ra►►k in life, from the highest to
the lowest ; and their prayer was for some
amendment in the Criminal Law. He hoped
that the number and respectability of the peti-
tioners would have its due weight and considera-
tion with the House.

He decoyed her to one of 3loucTAn's country residences,
where she expected to find her lover, thinking it was he who
had sent for her. Ali appeared, and said—" I know you love
my son." Phrosine confessed it. " Well, said he, it is a pity
you should ever behold him changing his affections, therefore,
you shall expire in the love you bear him." Phrosine pleaded
at the tyrant's feet, but he was inexorable.—" You must die !
said he." The beautiful Greek was put into a sack, with some
stones tied at the top, and thrown into the canal opposite
illoucTAß's dinner hall.

VIII. Ali, in quality of Pacha, and as Governor of Albania,
has an annual tribute to pay to the Grand Seigneur at Constan-
tinople. A person was every year sent to Joannina to receive
it. Ali, however, did not much like to see so much money de-
parting from his treasury, and therefore always contrived that
a party of Albanians should meet the courier on his return, at
a little distance from the boundaries of his dominions, and wrest
it from him, killing the poor wretch. The Sublime Porte ex-
pressed indignation at this circumstance, but the Pacha clear-
ed himself by stating, that " out of his dominions he could not
answer for the honesty of people." One poor Tartar,. wiser than
the rest, after receiving the money left it on the road, anticipat-
ing the kindness of his escort who waited for him at the con-
fines, and made his escape across the country into Dalmatia.

BOXING.

SHELTON AND CARTER.—Tuesday was a day of real busi-
ness amongst the high mettled fanciers of the rnilliog school.— -
After the Sparring Match there was a dinner at the Brown
Bear, Bow-street, when the second deposit wr,,s made between
Randal and Martin. By 11 o'clock Bacchus claimed th,•
chair, and jollity prevailed. Every man was sweet upon him-.
self, and to keep talent on the alert, a purse of 201. was sub-
scribed for two of the Gernmen present, Shelton and Carter, to
fight for. " Not here," said the host, " I must have you
gentlemanly," and the company retired to another place for the
mill. Oliver seconded Shelton, and Burn, .Carter.
In the first round Carter went at his adversary with much
gaiety, and counter hits were exchanged, but both want,:d the
rough edge off their exertion to do much execution, and after
scrambling round both went down.
2. Carter received a flush lift handed facer, which he rer.
turned upon the body- of his antagonist, and after a smart ralii -
they closed. Carter made a slip, and Shelton got his head un-,
der the left arm and weaved tipan him successfully : he t'lre'r
him a heavy fall which groggified him,.and set his ogles

ing.
i. Shelton, availing himself of his adverAnry's distress hr Olt!:
fall, pounced in upon him and floored him by a heavy hit 00
the side of the head, which won the fight.
This casual turn up will lead to a very interesting fight, alt
Carter, it seems, can be backed for 100 guineas, and Shelton',
friends are ready with their bustle. There will be much diver-
sity of opinion upon the initch,

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—You will, no doubt, have ob-
served in The Times (alias Queen's Gazette) of
yesterday, under the head " Drury-Lane
Theatre," that they are very angry with Mr.
ELLIsToN for having announced that the Play, on
Tuesday, was " by special desire of her MA-
JESTY," instead of " by command of her MA-
JESTY," as they state it is the usual and becom-
ing form to announce it, when a King or Queen
orders a Play.—As the Drury-Lane Performers
style themselves His MAJESTY'S Servants, when
the KING orders a Play it is proper that it should
be mentioned as by His MAJESTY'S command ;
and, in my opinion, " by special desire of HER
MAJESTY" is perfectly correct. But I wish to
ask Tlw Times, when a Performance at either of
the Patent Theatres was announced by command
of any Queen in this country, as they say is the
usual mode; certainly not since Queen ANNE'S
time—and then there was no King as at present.
I have no knowledge of Mr. ELLISTON, except
as a public character, who has undertaken a very
uncertain and extensive concern for the amuse-
ment of the public, and in which I hope he will
meet with the success he deserves.
