Saturday se'nnight the Mercisry, of Blythe, ran
upon the rocks near Tynemouth Haven. The Nor-
thumberland life-boat went off to her, and succeeded
in getting the crew on board ; but they had nearly
all perished, as the swell was so dreadful that the oars
could not be used among the rocks—the struck seve-
ral times and received great damage. Some hun-
dreds of spectators witnessed their danger, and ex-
pected every moment to see them perish, when the
=Stet of the ship rushed amongst the broken wirer,
and by an uncommon exertion got her off the rocks
on a pores of clear ground, which enabled the crew
to get on shore. The masts of the vessel were all
gone on Sunday, and it was expected the vessel
would go to pieces next tide. Same day a Danish-
schooner, coal laden, was driven on shore on Spits'
Sands, near Berwick. The crew were saved by the
Spital pilots. A boy belonging to the vessel is since
dead.

The BRAMBLZ. which took out the first notice of
the peace by dispatches to Bermuda, had arrived in
long. 42. after a very quick and favourable passage.
She left England the end of December, before the
ratification by the Pasuce REGO4T, in the confidence
that it would receive his sanction, and to take the
earliest instructions arising upon it to the Governor
of the Bermudas. The Favotiitirg, a new 20 gun
ship, which conveyed the Treaty when ratified, has
not been heard of, but there can be little doubt of
ber having hid a goad passage. She sailed from
Plymouth on Monday the 2d of January, at eight
o'clock in the morning.

The Loki) CHANCELLOR this day delivered judg-
ment in this long-litigated case, the facts of which we
stated in the STAR of Wednesday last. His Lord-
ship entered on a minute inquiry respecting all the
circumstances of the case, and having distinguished
allegations in the bill without one tittle of evidence
to support the same, he was constrained, taking the
matter secundaat aligaii, to consider it a bill that could
not be supported in a Court of Equity ; therefore, it
was impossible for him, in the exffcise of his duty,
not to dismiss the bill.—Dismissed with costs.

LLOAL ANECDOTE.—Mr. *NALLY, the Iridt Bat-.
ristcr, was at the English Bar, during a Tart of the
time that the Earl of MANSFIELD presided in the Court
of King's Bench. It is well known that his Lord-1
ship entertained a particular bias on political clues;
tions that came before him, nor was.he partial to the
learned gentleman's volubility. A trial came on in
the sittings after term, in which Mr: 6,141•15 us was re-
tained. IA the course of it, the defendant, whalsad a
.largt ears on the lower part of one of .his cheeks,'

and robbed it of Property to the amount of £6OO ;

Mtatozo.—Tuesday a most daring and barbarous
murder and robbery was committed at Pagnall, In
IBuckinghamshire, on the body of Mrs. Mary Hall,
Who was found murdered 'in her hook, about twelve
'o'clock on the above day. There is every reason to
believe that the borrid'deed was perpetrated between
the time of the body being found and nine o'clock of
the Lime morning, as she was seen for the last time
by her neighbours about that time. The wounds ap-
pear to have been inflicted'by a bill-hook, 'as one was
found close to the body in a very bloody ,'tats:.' A•
chest was found broken 'open, arid cish• and notes to.
the amount of about ,IMO stolen, fund a variety of
other articles of property was discovered to have been
carried off. On the discovery of the murder and•
rubbery, which mttst have taken place about noon, a
general alarm took place in the neighbourhood, and
which spread through that part of the country, and
a number of persons went iu pursuit of the perpetra-
tors of the horrid deed, and two suspicious charac-
'tent were, in consequence, apprehended, and taken
before the Sitting Magistrates at Great Berkhamp..
stead, and underwent an examination before them,)
charged on suspicion of being the murderers of Mrs.t
Hall, when it appeared that the prisoners calledl
themselves Thomis Young and James Worth, and;
attired that they had been at Dunstable, in Bedford-i,
shire. which is about three miles from Dagnall.
was proved that they were seen begging at Dagnall;
and • near Mrs. Hall's house, on the morniag of the/
murder. The ateouat they gate of•themseives was
by no 'means satisfactory. They have been wander.:
ing about the coolitly, from place to place, under al
pretinte of getting work. They met at a' public-
Louse at Dunstable, resorted to by persons of their;
descriptions. an Saturday last for the first time, and
they agreed. although strangers till that time, accor-
ding to their own account of themselves, to go a
begging togethei round the country. The ground
of suspicion against them it principally on Account of,
their having been seen near the spot at the time the,
murder is calculated to have been col:emitted, and
their' giving contradictory accounts of themselves, on
their being examined separately as to their being seen
begging near the house of the deceased, at the time
the murder must have been tommitted. Nothing
,was found upon them to strengthen the suspicion.—
'they were committed for further examination.
A few days since, the Bow-street Officers discovered
William Pratt and Thomas Tamer, two well-known
poathers, to be the : persons who had committed a-
number of robberies in Hertfordshire, -particularly.
near Hertford and Bishop Stortford ; they underwent
their final examination on Wednesday, in the-Town'
Hall at Hertford, before Wu. BAKER, Esq. and the
Rev. THOMAS LLOiD, and were fatly committed for
trial, at the next Assizes, for several burglaries in the
county of Hertfiw,i, and • also on a charge of the
wilful murder of Henry Trigg, jun. of Berden, iu
the county of Essex, as long since as Friday night,
the 9th of March, 1814 • 'rife father of the-deceased
was a shoemaker, who was alarmed "about twelve
o'clock on the above night, by mine persons breaking
into his shop, which included him to get up. and with

rately, one made a confession of the murder g on• the
