MArtGATa, Seri. 4.—Yesterday, at Ramsgate,
a young Lady threw herself from the Cliffs, and
was dashed into atoms! The. cause of. this fatal
proceeding was an incurable attachMent'for a young
man of that town, whom her parents sternly for-
bade to see again, not conceiving him to be her
equal in circumstances, or birch; but alas ! Love
hath no genealogical records for a young loomoni,
nor will the ardent urchin condescend` to i:alcuidte
,upon profit and loss,- when he. is blownti; up the
etnbers of passion. ;,

_ Yesterday a chamber-maid belonging to a board-
ing-house in Cecil-square, cut her 'bloat, but I,u,

tertained that the deluded girl *nay do well. The

FEMALE PATRIOTISM.—A letter from -Cadiz,
dated the tith of August, mentions a , trait ut he-
roisni by the women of the Havaniraii, whiCh may
well rival any thing ever done by the cianr.s of
Sparta: It is said that some of the. Ladies of the
Havannah-waitedon the Crovernor, and in the name
of 100 of the satne sex, asked permission to go to
Spain to oppose the ehemy,9and thereoy acquire
glory equal to that .olloained by,ttie women of Ge-
rona, Tarragona, &c.
• Some evenings ago, three young ladies walking
along the foot-path, in the neighbourhood of Putt.
Glabgow, were met by two men in the dress of sal--
tors, walking in a quiet sober manner, but as they
passed, one of them stabbed the lady next him in
the arm- with a clasp knife, which he held open in
his hanc4. and • proceeded forward without either
speaking or looking behind; unfortunately the la-
dies were. so much terrified, thry had •not the pre-
sence of mind to send uny pursuit after the villains
till it was ton late.

A second investigation of the circumstances re-
lative to the escape, of Robert Roberts,. and Har.
per, took place at Cold-bath-fields Prison, on Wed-
nesday, before a Prison Committee of t wefity-one
Magi,trates, the Bank Directors, &c. at 'which
the two Members for the County of Middlesex
were present. .

Aris, jun. who, as we have before stated, is in
New Prison, was not brought up; not was Mr.
Aris, the Governor, called on. The persons ex-
amined were those who had not been called on at
the first examination, and their testimony wes taken
previous to a public examination of Aris, tun. which
will take place in a few days.
Roberts has not yet been taken, although the Bank
Direaors have offered auo guineas for him. Besides
his other vicious propensities, he was a great play
man, and it has been ascertained that he lately kept
company solely with gamesters, and his ill-gotten
produce was chiefly expended on cards and dice,
amongst the professors of which hevas a flat of the
first rate.

Yesterday tiorning, at an early hour, a duel was
fought on Putney Heath between a Mr. Payne and a
Ceptain Clarke; the former received hiS antagonist's
ball in the groin. Medical aid being at hand, the
wounded person had the most prompt assistance.
About eleven o'clock the ball was extraded by Mr.
Heaviside. The case, we understand, tesbe of a very
doubtful nature. The Cause of the unfortunate diffe-
rence is not known ; it arose from a dispute, a iew
days since, at Scarborough, in Yorkshire. We hear
that both the parties are gentlemen of great respec-
tability. Capt. C. has fled.
A duel was fought at Moulsey Hurst on Monday
morning, between a Capt. Hants, and Mr. Coleshall,
a gentleman of some celebrity on the turf, in conse-
quence of a dispute relative to some trivial bet at Eg-
bam oces. After exchanging two shop, the Captain
was dangerousiy wounded in the left breast, and his
antagonist has escaped. The parties were stopped
whilst measuring their ground to fight in Middlesex
on Saturday, by the information of Mr. Coleshall's
brother.

We mentioned yesterday, that on Tuesday a duel
had- been fought at Haddington. The parties, we
now learn, were Captain Rutherford, of the 25th
regiment, and Mr. Cahill, the Surgeon, who, in
consequence of a misunderstanding which took place
in the mess-room, met in a park near Haddington,
accompanied by seconds, and ehchanged two shots,
by both of which Copt. Rutherford was wounded,
and died soon afterwards. Mr. Cahill, has in con-
sequence disappeared.
