A Itito-r tom St. Pierre, of the 30th of July, says,
Cii the •23d of this month we had here pne of those
terrible ca astrophies of which the actual experience
can alone tinaLle you to form an adequate conception.
At about five, or halt.past five in the moi rung, the
Conflict of the atmosphere led us to apprehend some
dreaLiful event. In half an hour, about 40 vessels
foundered, and two only escaped. Tht,. Watt, a ship
or between 7 and 800 tons, Was reduced to splinters
and atoms. The %retched mariners were seen extend-
ing their arms and imploring re!icf,but their cries were
unheard amidst the dangers of the storm. The vio-
lence of the elements was greater in the country than
in the city, and spacious woods were blown down by
their impetuosity. A large portion of this place is in
ruins, numerous lives have been sacrificed, and the loss
of property seems to to incalculable."
The meteor observed at Glasgow and Ayr, was
seen Ly several people on Leith Walk, about twenty-
tiinntes past nine o'cloCk on Saturday night (21st
Airoist), in t^ direction from nearly south to north,
rilianinining the Walk in a most remarkable manner.
globular part of the meteor appeared eitremely
I:labala, and in its path through the atmosphere
Was beaetifully marked by a very luminous train of
a fainter colour. It was observed for about eight or
tea seconds.

YAIt:tIOUTIT, SEPT. s.—On Wednesday our Gene-
ral Sessions were held before W. ADAIR, Esq. Re-
order, and finished on Friday afternoon, when Jahn
ilaitnah, aged 67, charged with the murder of his
wife, by strangulation; was found guilty, and ordered
for execution on Monday. During his trial, which
laded from ten in the Morning till three in the after-
noon, tle never once appeared to change countenance.
When the Recoider, in a very impressive Manner,
the dreadful sentence of the law, the whole
€Uutt was affected' but still he remained utunuved.

• PSLL COMMITTAL OF lOUS I.IIAIrf,YOR
IttURDER OF 'EPWARD CLIITFORD.
Yesterday Mr. Ttneins, the Magistrate, recont-
mewed the examination of witnesseCeoncernitirthe
Murder •of Edward Clifford, in the ....Prison of told
Bath-fields, in the presence of leis Royal Highness
the Duke of SuisEr., and a nuttibei of Ladles and
Gentlemen.
• Mary Burke, aliai Clifforti,. was plated at the
Magistrates' table, and Jilin Leary, accompanied
by two officers, was placed in a cornet of the room;
so that all who were ipiiiined should have a fitll
sight of him. The • murderer appeared perfectly
Unconcerned, but behaved with much decorum and
propriety. •
The Magistrate then desired. the Clerk ;to read
over the deposition of Mary Clifford in an audible
Manner, so that she might haye an opportunity of
amending what was defective; ind adding any parti-
culars which had since occurred to her recollecti6n.
This deposition, which has been already publiSheci,
mentioned, that on the evening of the murder,
Clifford, who had been in Leary's company all day,
was very drunk, and Leary was perfectly Sober.—
Clifford was fully deterinined to return' to Ireland,
for he could not speak Englith, neither could he
obtain employment. Leary tried to petsude him to
remain, and told him 'that he would get him into
good employment on Monday morning. Clifford
persisted in his determination to go to his native
land, and they roamed from public•house to public-
house till neat eleven o'clock, at which time they
were at the foot of fitilborolhill. Here Leary told
Mrs. Clifford that she might walk home at her
leisure, as EdWard was resolved to walk fast; and
she would find them at home before her she remon-
strated, but they walked away very fast and were
out of her sight immediately'. She went home; pur-
chased.a cal;dle, smoaked at pipe, and went to bed
at twelve o'clock, and awoke at two much troubled
in mind at the absence of Clifford; She arose at
four o'clock, and sometime afteiwards she enquired
for her hu.bancl at Leary's house, where the Was in-
fortned that he had gone off foe. Ireland on the top
of the coach.
Mrs. Burke said, she had no correctiont to make
nor any 'hint'; further to add, upon which she signed
the dep.sitiin with her mark, and was bound over to
give evidence at the prosecution of Leary.
William Broughton, of Paradise•street, found the
Murdered Lady in the pond on the smarting of the
26th of July ; a large cut appeared on the eyebrow
and blood issued very. profusely from the ears. The
pond was situate in AdaM's field, near Wellington-
place. Ihe ground near the pond was mai ked with
footsteps,. and bloody, and a hat lay ott the spot,
in the crown of which was a cord, with a running
noose upon it. This witness said he had nothing
farther to state, and signed his deposition with his
milk, and was bound over to give evidence at the
prosecution.
A large instrument, which bricklayers call a
ripping hammer, a shoe-maker's hammer, dappled
with blood, and a small hammer for driving nails,
were now laid on the table; along with a pair of old
shoes, whitened with lime; and discoloured with
something like blood on various parts of the bolts.—
These had been all found in Leary's lcdgings, ex-
cept the bricklayer's hammer; which was iound at
a new house where he was employed as a labourer,
and the axe end of this instrument nearly cone-
sponded with the wounds which appeared on the
head of the deceased.
Daniel Brewer assisted the last witness in drag-
ging the body of Clifford from the pond. When the
murdered person was canted away, he proceeded to
look about the field, and he perceived the impressions
of several feet, and a considerable quantity of blood
mingled with brains lay in various places: Neu- the
margin of tire pond he perceived several holes appa-
rently pizforated with :dine blunt instrument, and
he thought. they corresponded with the mouth of the
nail hammer which was now lying ott the table.—
The other hammers were too large in the head to
make such holes as he saw. This witness then sign-
ed his deposition, and was bound over to appear and
give evidence at the prosecutioo.
The hat which Clifford wore on the evening when
lie was murdered was now produced, one large hcile
appeared in that pan of the hat which covers the left
temple, and corresponded exactly with the wedgt
end of the shoemaker's hammer which was found
concealed in Leary's apartment.
Robert Shuttleworth observed a number of holes
made in the p,roithet beside the pond into which the
murdered body was thrown. He placed the body of
Clifford on a barrow, and carried it to the Prince
Regent public.house. William Price, the landlord,
examined the clothes of Clifford, and found much
blood on the back part of his coat. These witnesses
sighed their depositions and were bound o'er to ap-
pear at the prosecution. •
John Law, a bricklayer, saw a crowd of people
collected round the pond in which Clifford's body
was found: he went up and found a large unclasped
knife uniting the grass, and which was knoWn to
belong to Leary. He also saw many holes in the
ground, he thrust his thumbs into them; they were
large, and appeared to be made with a shot maker's
hammer. Tlas witness having signed his deposition,
was bound over to appear, and give evidence at the
trial of Leary.
Mr. Uppon, a surgeon, was called by the Coroner's
Inquest to examine the body of Ldward Clifford, he
found the back part of the skull shattered to pieces,
and a large wound on the temple, which correspond-
ed with toe wedge end of the shoemaker's hammer,
and also with the chisel part of the bricklayer's rip-
ping hammer. He signed his deposition; and was
bound over to give ttsuniony at the prosecution.
Mr. Barnet, a salesman, in Field-Line, sold the
hat, which was found near the murdered body, 'to
Clifford himself, on the .25th of July. It was then
perfectly whole, but a band and a buckle had been
added since. This witness also gave surety for his
appearance at the trial of Leary.
William Slattery; the cousin of Edward Clifford,
was now brought forward, and his former deposition
was read to him. The Magistrate inquired it lie had
any thing farther to say, or had any corrections to
Make in his testimony before that 'he signed it i Slat-
tery hesitated at first, and then he said that he had
Misrepresented one circumstance, which he wished to
Set right.---In this pest deposition it will be remit-

kited, that aft. et deiaTen. g krtivr of Mrs.
ford, in lidos/3, and of hir arrival in this country,
pthceeded ,(d mention, that on the evehing pre-
trediiiii the murder, he was present *heft Leary and
his wife called at Clifford's lodgings, and when, bet
and Mrs.glifford and the deceased all went put to-
gether. He also went away with a Mrs. Champion;
and returned home about nine o'clock and Went to
bed. He recollected Mrs. Clifford coming biome
ibput twelve o'clock, and ailed if Clifford had come
Ninne? Hosalso recollected her sitting on the bed,
and smoking a pipe.. and bore testimony to other
facts which have already been detailed: This de-
position having been finished, he was asked whe-
ther it was sprreo ? He answered in the negative,
and *as proceeding to enter into another Statement,
shin deposition which he had subsectuently made
Was told to hiln. In this he stated, that the circus:l-
Stance to which he formerly alluded, of Mrs.
Clif-
fbrd returning home and sitting cn the bed to smoke
her pipe, had occurred on smite other night previous
tothe murder, and that on the night of the sulkier.
awl'irs. Clifford did Sot return home at all to his know-
ledge, and he must have known if she did, for he
should hate heard her.
C/n his cross•examination he admitted that he had
been awoke by Mis. Clifford on Sunday morning,
and that she might then have left or come into the
room without his knowledge. He. however, per-
sisted that she did not cothe home on the night of the
Murder-, although he might love been asleep and not
bear her.
Mr. Tuerow directed that this man's depoSition
stould be retaken, and condensed into a shore tom.
pass, for the consideration of the Court Of Justice.
During this man's examination, Leary regarded
him with particular attentions and seemed to feel
great ankiety of mind ; his colobr heightened, and lie
perspired violently. He seemed perfectly satisfied
when Slattery persisted in his latter story.
Mrs. ChaMpion's deposition, and that of Mrs. Sin-
gleton, were next read oVer to those persons. That
of the former merely went to prove that she saw Leary
and his wife in Clifford's apartment, on the evening
of the miirder—and that of the latter, who was Clif-
ford's landlady, proved that the door of her house
was often open all night ; and that on the Saturday
night previous to the murder, there was a dispute
between Clifford and his wife.
Mr. Hesston, the master of the prisoner, is in
Yorkshire, and did not of course attend. His depo-
sition, however, was read. It went to prove that th?
ripping hammer prdlAced was his property, and
also spoke favourably the general character of the
prisonei.
The depositions of Cooke and Thistleton, officers
of Hatton-Garden, who. apprehended the prisoner,
were next read. The principal part of which went to
prove the finding the shoemaker's hammer in Leary's
room. and his acknowledgment that he knew they
came for him relative to the murder of Clifford, be-
fore they told him that such was the fact.
Joseph Becket's (a turnkey in the prison) evidence;
was then read, and froin it, it appeared that the pri-
soner had confessed the knife found by the edge of
the pond was his property.
Mr. TURTON now directed that the confession of I.
Leary should be read to him. That which he last,
made, and in which he implicated Mrs. Clifford, was
accordingly read over to him, and he subscribed to
its truth. Since the foriner publication of this con-
fession, he had added, that when he, Mrs. Clifford,
and the deceased, approached the spcit where the
murder had been committed, they ,met Slattery, who
asked who came there ? And on Mrs. Clifford an-
swering, he said they were well met, for he had been
there only five minutes. Mrs. Clifford then drew
forth a hammer, and knocked her husband down with
it, and while he was on tire ground, she repeated her
flows until he was dead. Slattery, as well as he,
(Leary) witnessed this, and Slattery drew the de-
ceased by the feet on the top of a little mount, and
rolled him over into the pond.
Mr. TURTON here observed, that this addition to ll
the confession of the prisoner had been made in con-
sequence
of something which he had said to him about
Slattery. Until he had reminded the prisoner of Slat-
tery, he did not give the slightest hint of his being
concerned in the murder, in the way in which he now
stated. The first confession made by the prisoner,
in which he stated that he had parted with the de-
ceased at the corner of Gray's Inn-lane, and left him
in company with Slattery and another flan, whose
name he now stated to be Bryan, at ten o'clock on
the night of the murder, and returned to his lodgings,
in his way meeting Mrs. Clifford, was next read.—
This he said was quite incorrect, he would not sign
it, and persisted in the truth of the statement he had
last made, which he signed.
The testimony of a publican, named *Canby;
was now read. From this it appeared that the priso-
ner sent for him, and he called on him at the office
in Hatton Garden, cn the day he was first examined.
Witness had some conversation with him, and said,
You have got into a pretty predicament—you will
certainly be hanged." The prisoner said, Do you
think so—l was at home at ten o'clock." Witness
asked him, if he had any one to prove that fact ? and
to this he replie,l, "No ; there lam lost. Without
I can get a witness to prove that, I am undone."—
Witness advised him to confess his crime ; and upon
asking him how Le should get out of it ? he said he
did not know, unless he could fix it upon somebody
else. WitneSs asked him who he could fix it upon ?
and he said he klt a hammer in Mts. Clifford's poc-
ket in the public-house. Witness said he did not be-
lieve him, and he went away.
Thistleton, who overheard this conversation, cor-
roborated• the teAimony of M'Carthy ; and on be-
ing questioned by the Magistrate, he said he had
laid no design to entrap the prisoner into any con-

fesitivl.olutitary witness came forward at this period

lane. On the Sunday evening of the murder, he said
two or three men and a woman far advanced in preg-
nancy came into his house about eleven o'clock. One
of the mat wore a dark great coat [such was worn
by Leaty on the night of the murder] and the other
seemed to be very stupid ; lie took out a handful of
Bank-cotes, and handled theta very carelessly. A
half pint of gin was called for, and witness was asked
for Gl:tinge of a one pound note ; he refused, how-
ever, to vivo it ; and the man who had the notes
pulled out a shilling and paid tor the gin. The man

in 'tit. dirk great coat then wanted to have soSI
jams gin; bat witness refused to serve any More, as
't iias then past eleven. They then went away, and
p _fis‘ried•one of the men much intoxicated. He
Apid, hot ia). with certainty that the prisoner was
lone of the persons who woe so in his house. As he
was passing a house in Windmill-court, Smithfield,
where the prisoner Was at work on the Monday fol•
lowing, however, he *as hailed by him from a ladder,
and asked fOr a job. He had ro: known him before ,
but coupling the fact of his so coiling him with the cir-
cumstance of the persons who had heed in his house
the night before, and the manner in which the man..
der hid been committed, he was induced to think
that the prisoner was one of the when who had been
in his house. He took particular notice of the wo-
man; and although he bad not seen Mrs. Cliffoid, if
she was tbe.Woman who had been in his house, he
bad no doubt he shoUld recollect her.
Leasy positively denied thit he had been in this
witness's house.
. Mr. Turtori, however, in order to decide the 'point,
requested Mr. Adkins, the Goiernor, to take Mr.
Kilsbey ihto a room in Which hits: Clifford and other
females were, and see if he could select her from them.
This Mr. Adkihs did, and in a short time return-
ed; and stated that Mr. Kilsbey had picked Mrs. Clif-
ford out from twenty women, and said she was the
woman who had accompanied the men to his house
and Mrs. Clifford, on being asked whether she hat
been to his house, said she had.
Much sutpri was expressed at this heiv discovery,
as, from the evidence hitherto received, it appeared
that Mrs. Clifford had parted from her husband and
Leary before they teached Gray's Inn-lane:
To elucidate the point, however; she was sent for
when it turned out, that frdm the manner in which
the question had bfttl put to her by Kilsbey; she
thought he *as the landlord of the public-hoist at
the corner of Fieidane, in which she did go With her
hnsband add, Leary*, and had Some girt.
Mr. Tint-roil Said he was perfecq Satisfied with
the consisten4 of the woman's story, and apprehen.
ded Mr. Kilsbey laboured under a mistake.
Mr. BARRY, CounSel for Mrs. Clifford, observed
tint easy for Mr. Kilsbey to select her from a hun,
dred, as she had a black ribband round her head, at
a sort of mourning for her husband, and had HU the
appearance of a woman who had lately risen from
bed of sickness, which Kilsbey well knew she had.
The whole of the evidence being now gone through..
Mr. Matron observed, that many other witnesses
had been examined, but their testimony only Went
satisfy curiosity, without throwing any new light od
the subject under examination. Their evidence there.
fore he had thought it unnecessary tO embody w 1
the evidence intended for the Judges. From all the
inquiries, however, he was satisfied, that althougl•
rsome things had occurred to place Mrs. Clifford'
conduct, in a moral point of view, in no very amiabl
light, yet he discovered nothing which went in the
slightest manner .to invalidate her testimony, or
render her an incompetent or a discredit Able witness
in a Court of Justice. The worthy Magistrate thed
directed that Mrs. Leary, the wife Of the prisoners
against whom these did not seem to be any just accii-
cation; should be discharged. With respect to Slat-
' my and Mrs. Clifford, he desired they Might be
'tamed until the trial.

that a Catholic Priest, Mr. DEVERXUX, Ordinary of

Clergyman, should be requested to attend on the r-
soner to-morrow (this day), a bobn which the pri
I ner seemed to be very desirous of obtaining. The,

EitECUTION or Luxe ilvern.—Monday se'nnight,
soon after twelve o'clock, this criminal was executed
at the drop, in frOtnt of the County Gaol, Gloucester,
for the Murder of Sarah Harris, at Cow-Honeyborne,
four years ago. An amazing concourse of people
attended to witness the execution. After attending
divine service in the chapel, and spending a consider-
able time in prayer, he was brought otit upon the Scaf-
fold, and seemed so completely overcome with tertbi,
that it was with great difficulty he could support him.
self. He appeared to shrink with horror from the
awful scene kefore him ; and, after remaining a very
few minutes id this situation, he uttered a short ejacu-
lation, and was launched into eternity. After hanging
the usual time, hisAsiddy was cut down, and sent to the
Infirmaty for dissection. The apparent indifference
and want of feeling manifested by this unhappy cri.
minal, both during the progress of his trial, and at
the dreadful moment of sentence being passed, have
been formerly mentioned : on his return to the prt.
son, however, after condemnation, he evinced due
contrition, and made an ample confession of his guilt.
The manner of his perpetrating the horrible crime
he stated as folloWs had, for some time kept
company with the deceased, and, under repeated
promises of marriage, had robbed her of her r irtde ;
she was six months advanced in pregnanty. On the
night of the murder, lie went, about twelve o'clock,
to her father's house, and called her out of bed. She
came down stairs dressed, but without *shout. Some
words passing between them, he struck her so vio-
lently with a white-thorn stick on the head and temple,
that she fell to the ground, crying, 43 LORD have
mercy upon us !" He then (to use his own words),
44 with the assistance of the devil !" picked her up,
and carried her on his shoulder to the pool of water,
into which he threw the body, believing there was then
but little life left ! He denied making use of the
dung-fork spoken of by some witnesses, in the perpe-
tration of his diabolical purpose. It Mould appear,
however, that his conscience, notwithstanding his ap.
parent apathy-, had been but ill at test ter the firit
year after the commission of the mut der ; for, during
that period, he had been several times in Londbii,
had visited Birmingham, traversed Kent and North.
amptonshire, been lour months on board a tit ig be.
longing to Newcastle, bad gone into stilly parts of
Scotland and Ireland, and still was bereft of the power
of settling ony where.

TNEATIZES.

toeeNT•Gaimano—Mr. Taanv, from the Edin-
burgh Theatre, and who performed last season at
the Haymarket Theatre, made his &bat on these
boards, last night, in the character of Leon, in Rule
a Wift and Rave a! Wife. He met with a most Let-
tering reception, and his subsequent exertidus proved
slid greeting to be due to his merit. Throughout
his performance, he disdained to distort the character
he had undertaken to sustain, to entrap partial ap-
plause—that which be receivedr (and it was not a
little) was fairly obtained, and justly bestowed by
taste on talent. The other characters were very well
sustained. JOINS, in the Cotifier Ca/:lain, displayed
great vivacity and humour. Mrs. Gians, as Margue-
rites, and Mrs. H. Jostaisrow, as Lstionia, were very
respectable. Staatinais was extremely diverting in
the Old Woman, and Fanesx's Cacafoga was irresisti-
bly laughable.--In the Barletta of Midas, which
succeeded the Comedy, Miss RENNELL, who made
her first appearance the preceding evening, at 4riel,
sustained the character of Nyra, which was formerly
supported by Miss Bor-Ton. The task would have
been an arduous one for a more matured actress to
have undertaken ; but, to so very yoeng a performer,
the difficulty was greatly heightened, as, without
any experience, she had to struggle against the pre-
judice which the audience might naturally be sup-
posed to feel in favour of her predecessor, whose per-
formance of N.yra will not hastily be forgotten. Miss
RENNELL, however, took the audience by surprise.
She acted with great vivacity, sang very sweetly, and
her exertions were rewarded by reiterated plaudits.
SURREY THEATRE.—Mr. Eeetszots took his annual
benefit at this Theatre last night. The hot.se was
most respectably and elegantly tilled ; the following

Jib ow. rriusai...—Yesterday r. atit Wool
were fully committed, charged with stealing 'a tow
antswo pigs, the property of T. Harrison, of Grove
Farm, Xensish Town, on Wednesday afternoon.--
The prisoners were overtaken near PentonVille, with
the pigs) which were found to have been disfigured
wieb pitch. Another charge was exhibited against
them for stealing eight pigs, the property of Mr.
Hughes, of Walworth, some time since, and which it
was proved Brown and another man werrseen driving
in Whitecross-street. The parties were directed to
indict Wood on this charge also.
E Walker,T. Witedreel, and W. Tier, were likewise
indicted on a charge of pig-stealing. On Thursday
exening last two white pigs were stolen from the pre-
mises of Mr. W. Porrester, mealman, at Woodburn,
Bucks. In consequence of information received, Mr.
korrAter went with some of the patrole to a house
io Stings-lane, Mary-la-bonne, where he saw the
heads of two, which he had no doubt belonged to
those stolen from him. Walker was admitted evi-
dence, and stated, that about nine o'clock on Friday
morning last, while he was at Ns ork, near Chelsea-
Reach, a man came by on horseback, and told him
be had a couple of pigs coming home in a cart, which
he should want the witness to kill, and would send
for hint when he had got them • and about 12, the
1 same day, the prisoner Tyer desired him to go to
; Stingo.lane to do a jot:, and when he Went there, he
saw the man that spoke to him in the morning, and
be there killed and dressed for him two white pigs,
which were very dirty, as though they had been drivvn
thrciugh the mud. Mr. Andrews, Surveyor of the
road of Wooilbera, proved, that he saw Windred and
tem others about three o'clock en Thursday after-
noon, with a horse, under a hedge, about a mile from
Mr. Forrester's premises. J. Clark, a chimney-
sweeper in Stingo-late, proved, that about eight
o'clock on Friday morning, he saw at a door in
Stingo-lane, two white pigs in a cart, and Windred
assisting the man in lifting them ont of the cart into
his yard. Mr. Lunnonce, a farmer, at Woodburn,
claimed the cart as his property, which, with a horse,
was stolen on Thursday night last from his premises.
The facts being clearly made out, Windred, and Tyer
were fully committed.
Tuesday evening F. Corlett, a news-bily, was
charged with stealing £3. 165. from I'. Duckland,
12nother news-boy. Buckl Ind stated, that he was in
the Courier Office between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon, waiting frr his pap* : he had six rel and
one 42 notes, and 16s. in silver, in his jacket-pocket,
to pay for them. He sat down on the bench in the
office for about five minutes, when he missed his
money. The prisoner sat close to him, and no other
person was near him ; and, before he missed his mo-
ney, the prisoner went out of the office without
taking his paper; —Mr. Haywood, publisher of the
Courier, stated, that on hearing of Buckland's loss,
be sent for the prisoner, who was suspected of the
robbery, from his having left the office so suddenly ;
arid, en his being brought back, he took the witness
to Durham-yard, and pointed out two different cor-
urs, where he said he had concealed the money, bu'
it could not be fund; and, on witness charging him
expressly with the robbery, he pointed out a third
place, where all the money was found.—He was f ully
committed.

UNION-HALL.—SEIZURE 0? GVlNEAS.—Yesterday
7'. Reilty was brought before Mr. BITINIR, by Cla: k
and Gott who apprehended him on Tuesday evening,
about ten o'clock, in the Borough High street, under
the following suspicious circumstances:--It appeared,
that Clark and Goff, as they were going along the.
Borough, perceived the prisoner just before them, car-
rying a small flat basket, similar to what game is
packed in ; but from its weight they were convinced
its contents were something of a mote solid nature;
and Waving a suspicion that all was not right, they
stopped him, and asked what he had got ? To this
he replied, he ditl not know; when asked where 'kp
was going to ? he, after some hesitation, said, he was
goingfto the Catherine Wheel, where he was. o leave
I the basket with the landlord in the bar. He could not
I tell where it was going to afterwards, as there was no
rdirectien on it ; his orders were t 3 leave it at the bar
' and say nothing : he did not know the landlord, nor
did he know what was to be done with it afterwards.
Ile was employed by Mr. Seale, a gentleman, or
merchant, in the City. When further pressed, he said
he did not know who gave him the parcel : he was a
green-grocer, and resided in Grocers•halbeourt. The
i officers, upon this vague statement, took him to the
otike, together with. his basket ; which, on being
opened, was found to contain six bags, each of which
contAned .500 guineas, in guineas, half-guineas, and
seven-shilling pieces. The prisoner, when questioned
by the Magistrate, said, he received the parcel from
Mr. Seale, jun. who had a caunting•house at No. 6,
Jewry-street, Aldgate, and whose residence was in
Great St. Helen's ; he had orders to carry it to the
Catherine Wheel, ynd there leave it. He had taken
similar parcels for Mr. Seale before, but did not know
what they contained—they were always very heavy ;
never had any 4irectim upon them, and he always j
received two shillings for taking them.—Upon this 1
statement the Magistrate, on Tuesday evening, or-
dered the money to be detained, and the parties to

attend next morning.
Yesterday morning the parties attended before Mr.
BIRNIE. The Solicitor to the Mint and Mr. Scale
also attended. Mr. Seale stated, that he had sent the
parcel, as stated by Bailey, without direction, to Mr.
Marsh, the landlord of the Catherine Wheel ; it con-
tained 3000 guineas, wli;ch had been left in his care
by his father, who was cut of town, at a house he
had at Burnish, in Kent ; at the time his father left
town, he desired his son (the witness), in case he left
town, to send the guineas to the landlord of the Ca-
therine Wheel, to be deposited with him as a place of
security, and he had accordingly sent them there
his father had a banker in town; but preferred send-
ing his guineas to Mr. Marsh, to be taken care of by
him, rather than sending them to a Banker's., Mr.
Marsh stated, that Mr. Scale had sent similar parcels
to his house before, but he had never known what they
contained.--The Magistrate, under all the circum-
stances, thought it right to adjourn the further in•
quiry on this subject to a future day. The guineas
are, in the mean time, deposited in Pinhorn's Bank,
and the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crowp is
to be taken, as to whether a seizure, under these car-
, cuinstances, is legal or not?

TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
BErneave to inform you, that ever since the year
1 1790, I had been afflicted with the l .ues Venerea ; width from
Its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the
most eminent of the faculty here, and undergoirg several severe
courses of salivation and twice discharged from the Hospital, yank
little relief, would appear to be of toe most inveterate nature. In
the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as'
nearly tn. put a period to my existence. In this state, I was re-
commended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure
by them here,) to take your Leake s Patent l'ilh, which I began
to elo on the 2Gtb May ; In the course of a fortnier I began tc
receive benefit. In little more than a month I became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from my for-
mer complaints, bare recovered my former spirLs and strength,
and ant become jolly and fat, in which state having continued
many months to the astonishment of all who knew me, I am
at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you far
the good of other stifferir7, mor:als, to make this my case as
public as .possible, as I shall on every occasion—in so cluing you
will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful obedient very humble set.
