Malt Lamtnucte trusty.—Yellerday John Lewis
Baptida Barrieliet underwent a final examination.—
Lord Caledt'n was prefent, who Hated, that the psi
loner was valet in his fervice, and to whom he left
the charge of hit hnufe and property, whilfi be went
to Ireland. Thirty-two packages had been fent to
the Portfrnnuth waggon previous to his Lordlhip's
leaving town. Hi, Lordfhip, however, fuddenly re-
ceived intimation from the- Admiralty That he was
very fherrtly to embark for the Cape of Good Hope.
The packages were packed in fuch hurry, that he ,
was unable to (peak with certainty to their contents.
The only property that he could at prefent afcertain
he had been robbed of t 3 any extent, was a quantity
of champaigne, madeira, claret, and other wine,,
amounting to about twenty dozen bottles, which he
had left faked in his wine cellars, the keys of which
were in an oniocked drawer in the lnde. The pri-
Toner had no crinmand over the wine cellar. It ap-
peared that out of the 32 packages delivered at the
inn, nine had been brought back.
Colonel Alexander identified part of his property
which had been offered for tale, and fold by the pti-
loner ; and it was proved by the other perfons who
wtTe left in the honk, that the prifuner had frequent-
ly taken wine from the cellar to carry out of the
/mule. He had, it aoreared, diaributed the whole
stock of wines amongll about a dozen dafiting belles,
at different times, many of whom flood forward at
this examination, as his sccufers. There gifts were
proved to have been part of the wine taken from
Lord C.'s cellar. The ladies with whom the pri.
loner, by'his atfamption of birth, title, &c. became
acquainted, reactivity gave a fpoi live delcriptian of
the felt meattd gentleman, whiltt aeling the cha-
raeler iif the itan of fafhion, fimilar to the abfurdi-
ties of which our Readers are already informed. He
it.fifled on "Nits C. who intimated an intention of
leaving her honk occupying his (meaning Lord'
Calednes) during Ms abknce in his official capacity
at the Cape: This offer was made when the Lady
breakfilted with the prifoner, and her fufpicions were
then excited, there beirg no (smuts vifible. The
inifoner was fay committed for trial, on three dif
tin& charges—two fur robbing Lord Calednn and
Colonel Alexander, and nab for a fraud on Mars.

11e hall had a fnuffboa mounted in gold, at the es-
pence of his duffer.

The Duke of RICHMOND'S Will.—The following
are the leading pa•titulars of his Grace's will :
To Mtl. La CLanc, his Grace has bequeathed actool. a year.
To Ms these Daughter* by Mrs. Ban N IT, to,oocl. cash.
To Mrs. liesustrr, the taste of Earl Court, at indent let to
Lord Aise PIA a Le. at tea per annum.
To the fond Son of the prelim Duke,. the FRate of ftehener,
His Grace dire&ed that his brdy Ihould be opened,
which was accordingly done, and filled v ith flack
lime. He had been lung of opinion, that he had a
particular complaint in his bowels, which baffled all
medical art either to diretvver or remove.
Several Ladies of Portfmouth and the neighbour-
ing towns have it in contemplation to firm a firciety
for the relief of pine women and children, the wives
of Tailors and Soldiers, who are often left, after
their hofbandb have emhatked, in the moll wretched
and atjell hate. This laudable intention, it is
raid, is to be carried to the extent of founding a
Lying in•charity ; that the wretched, of all &fail).
tions, may food an afylum in the days of nature's
torrow, and °diets, if itarit-.)e, be reclaimed from
fe'eking fuhtitience, in the devious paths a fin and
miler y.
.11oxtva.—Yeflerday a match at fifty cuffs took
lace at WOlmomaa Sctnbbs, on the Uxbridge road.
The combatants were Tom Toney, and a butcher,
named Joleph Hall. About one they arrived at the
above-mentioned place, and at two a ring being
for teed, they'd to, in pretence of about 3000 (Pet tla.
tors, among whom %Vele Mr. F. Read, and many
other amateurs-7 At the firft onfet, Toney was
knocked down, but trot by a blow that feerned to

hurt him; after the minute allowed by the umpire,
Toney rallied and tb:ew his antagonill ' • the next
round Hall hit his opponent a blow in thelltort ribs,
which brought him to the ground. They afterwards
fought 24 rounds mote, during which they teemed
afraid of each other, till at length the perfons prefent
called nut to them to finifh the battle ; on which
Tolley :hewed more game, and the odt4 turned in
his favour. Hall dropped three times, feetningly
without a blow, when Toney quitted the ring, de.
elating he had won, as neither party ass to drop.
The umpire determined she bet, which was twenty
itnineaa—a drawn one. Had Toney not quitted his
ground, alte money would have been his. The fight
laed three quarters of an hour, and neither of the
panics feemed fnuch• the worfe. Toney's left eye
was doled.
On Friday fe'nnight, there was driven into the bay
cf Donbeg, in the county of Clare, the deck of a
large weird, to which were faßened, by ropes, five

tued Lit Led therufelves to the rings of the deck, during
one of the late tremendous forms, and the (hip en-
countering a very heavy fea, was dallied to pieces.
