CODEX ALEXANDRINUS.

We observe by Papers relating to the Codex Alex.
andrima, printed by order of the House 'if Commons,
that there is some intention to have a fact simile of
this import:int doCument printed at the public es-
pence. We hope nothing will prevent the exetutidn
of so desirable a work ; but we would earnestly re-
commend that in place of '250 copies, tho number
proposed to be printed, there should be at least 750
or 1(X)0 taken off. The additional expence will only
be that of paper and press-work, and the individual
expence of each copy would thereby be reduced milks
than one half, so that the copies in place of costing
about £3O, would cost ot:17 about 0.12 or £l5. The
extra copies should be said which would tend to
diminish the expence to the public. Wd earnestly
recommend this to the consideration of Parliament.
If the world is to be served by the publication of
so valuable a document, let it be done EFFECTUALLY.

We congratulate the Students in Italian Literature
on the publi:ation of a very usJul little volume, In
that language, cal;ed Tkr Re "der," from the
pen of M. SANTAGNLLLo, Author of the Italian
Cr immar, &c It consists of Extracts from the most
celebrated Italian Writers, in hose and Verse, begin-
ning with SOAVE and ending with DANTP, illustrated
with Notes, forming a series of progressive lessons,
by the study of which the scholar will be enabled to
read and properly understand the Works of each
Writer. We have no hesitation ill recommending it
as one cf the most useful school manuals that has yet
appeared.
DEAL, JULY It—Arrived his Majesty's ship JASOX,
Captain KING, from Boulogne, where she landed
Field-Marshal &valets.

There are only five sail of the homeward-bona
Jamaica Fleet unaccounted for, all the rest having
arrived.

On the 27th ult. there was in the Imperial bastion,
at Leipsic, before the Black-gate, where ►he powder
taken from the French had been placed, a dteadfulez-
plosion. The number of persons killed or wounded
was 28. No public building suffered. The iatre.
pidity and presence of mind of the Russian and
Saxon troops saved Dresden from a much greater
mischief. They put out the fire which took place im-
mediately after the explosion, anJ which would soon
have reached three hundred barrels of powder that
were in the bastion.

The report of the death of the occupier of the
house which was devoured by the flames in Lambeth
Walk is unfounded. Mr. Kent is confined to his bed
in a distressing state, by bring burnt; in his endea-
vours to save the premises, in the hands and on his
right leg, which is in a most deplorable state• It has
been already stated that nut a vestige was saved, and
the premises were not insured. It is highly creditable
to the huinanity of the LambethVesti y, that they have
opened a subscription to alleviate the distresses of an
industrious couple and sis: children, now destitute
and pennyless ! _ _

mAyoNcs, JuLr 13.

This favourite watering-place begins to fill rapidly
;with company, and the promenade by day, and the
. libraries at night, present the combined appearance
of gaiety and fa'hion. The MARINE LIBRARY (BA It -
try's,) since its enlargement and improvement, is
eq:ially brilliant and attractive, and the innocent but
lively entertainment of Porto Bello affords the highest
ratification to the visitor, and adds not a little to the
/cave rationale of the evening.
The following are among our latest arrivals :
Sir Jacob Astley, Captain Blanchard, Mr'. and Nliss Haggitt,
Lady C. Walpole, Mrs. De Caulker, Rev. Ur. Haggitt, Mrs. A.
Atkinson, Rev. Mr. Mortimer, Mr. Sutton, Mr Angell, Mr.
'and Mrs. N.:gent Miss Pocock, Lieut.-General and Hon. Nirs
Broderick, Mr. and Mrs. Co:terill, Mr. and Mrs. sugdcn, Mrs.
;.owe, Captain Hallett Mrs. and the Misses sayer, Mrs. Du-
bourg, Mrs. A. Campb4;ll, Mr..and Mrs. Mouypenoy, W. and

grave Brisco, Miss Godfrey,. Mr. and Mrs. W. Ford, Mr. Alva-
. iensa, &c. &c.
Houses and accommodations have been prepared
for several families and persons ofdistinction, who are
expected imtitediately ; among those we are proud
to find the names of Lori BYRON, the Countess of
AslnswrtNlt*M and family, &c. &c. A concert and
ball is to be given here on Monday next, in comme-
moration of tile Peace, which is expected to be very
fully and froshionably attended.

Thursday se'unight, the town of Beckly in Sussex
entertained at dinner no less than nine hundred persons
. to celebrate the Peace. Rich and poor feasted happily
together, and from the Lord of the Manor to the
Cottager, but one sentiment of joy and gratitude
seemed to prevail. The bells continued to ring a
melodious peal. Dances and rural sports were pro-
longed during the evening, and at night there was a
brilliant display of fireworks.
Tha inhabitants of Wiveliscombe have celebrated
the Peace in a manner no less spirited than original.
The procession comprised a representation of all the
chief features of the various trades and employments
carried on in the town. Among other curious perfor-
mances, which took place during the actu 41 course
of the procession, was the manufacture of a coat,
through all the processes of weaving, fulling, dying,
and making, in the space of four hours !
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday IV. H. Hollins, charged
with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Pilcher, was finally
examined.—G. Cartwright, Esq. of Lower Grosve-
nor-street, stated, that on Monday evening, the 4th
inst. he was alarmed by the report of a pistol, and on
running from the drawing-room into the hall, he saw
the deceased, who wa§a servant in the house, wounded,
and supported by W. Morton, his man servant. There
was also a stranger in the passage, who proved to be
the prisoner at the bar; he had a pistol, which Mr.
Cartwright took out of his hand, and delivered the
prisoner in charge of a watchman. Mr. Cartwright
put the pistol into a drawer, the barrel was burst, and
is the same now in the possession of William Dean,
into whose care it was given at the fist examination
Aof the prisoner. W. Morton, servant to the above
witness, stated, that about a quarter past 10 o'clock,
on the night of the 4th inst. the prisoner, W. 11. Huh
lins, came to his master's house, and asked for Eliza-
beth Pilcher, who was a servant in the house ; that he
c tiled her to the prisoner, and she went outside the
door with him. The door was pulled too, but not
shut 4 and almost immediately afterwards he heard
the report of a pistol, and her screams. He ran out
of the parlour towards the street, and met Elizabeth
Filcher running into the hall, followed by the prisoner,
and under her right arm he perceived her gown torn,
and black, as if with gunpowder. The prisoner was
going towards Elizabeth in the hall, when, being
taken into custody, he requested permission to kiss
ber as she lay in informant's arms. She was directly
undressed when informant saw she had a wound in
the right side. S. Lawton, watchman, of St. George's,
Hanover square, stated, that, about ten o'clock at
night, in Lower Grosvenor-street, he heard the report
of a pistol, and almost directly after, the cry 01
66 watch ;" upon which he went to Mr. Cartwright's
house, where he found the street door open, and in the
ball saw the prisoner, with the pistol now produced
in his hand, and a young gentleman, who told him to
secure the prisoner; and, on his laying hold of him,
the prisoner said, 66 You need not lay hold of me,
shall not run away." Informant said to him, ,4 You
have killed the young woman." Prisoner replied,
66 Have I ? then let me kiss her cold bps." Thy
young gentleman took the pistol from the prisoner.
. Lax, another watchman, stated, that he saw the
fla.sh aid beard the report of a pistol, and. going dn-
. mediate)), to Mr. Cartwright's, saw the prisoner, and
the young gentleman who had the broken pistol in
his hand. That next morning, between four and five
o'clock, he found the piece of the brass barrel of the
said pistol upon. the steps of Mr. Cartwright's house.
That the four shots produced were picked up in in-
formant's presence, inside the street door, by Mr.
Cartwright's servant.—W. Dean, of Park.street,
Grosvenor.square, constable of St. George's, Llano-
, ver-square, stated, that he was on duty as constable at
Mount-street watch-house, when the prisoner was
brought in there, and he took another pistol from him.
He said that he had shot the young woman, but that
he did not intend to do it ; that he intended to have
!>hot himself ; and that the pistol he found on the psi-
s eats appeared to be the fellow of that delivered to
dormant at Bow-street. J. Heaviside, of George-
street. Hanover-square, surgeon, stated, that on Mon-
day, the 4th inst. he was sent for to attend a young
woman at Mr. Cartwright's, in Grosvenor. street, and
on his arrival there, he found Elizabeth Pilcher, since
deceased, with a wound in her right side, from which
the blood issued profusely, and which, on eyamina-
Lion, appeared to have been (occasioned by a pistol ;
that he attended her until Sunday last, whets she died ;
that he extracted a great number of shot front her
elver, and also from the omentum ; and that the said
wound, which was received between the Bth and 9th
rib on the right side of the body, was the cause of her
dead;. The prisoner was fully committed.
