There are so many letters in town from South

to doubt it. The following letter, after repeating the
above important intelligence, details some other mat-
ters of interest respecting the Spanish Colonies :

Phcehe frigate and Cherub sloop of war, have taken the Ame-

she just got round a point near the harbour, she carried away for

but did not succeed; and was obliged to anchor in a small bay

and commenced the action with the Eon.

Last night WAS repeated at this Theatre, for the
third time, a new grand Equestrian Melo Dtawatic
Spectacle, entitled the Tiger Horde, in which was in-
troduced the most beautitul Stud of Horses ever col-
lected together in England. Out limits will not Or-
mit us to enter in-() a full description of this piece—
neither can words do justice to the performance, as it
was one of the best got up prodUctions ever witnessed
in this country t it must have been highly gratifying
to the Proprietors last night to receive such universal
applause from an assemblage the most numerous and
elegant the Theatre ever had to boast. The House
has undergone a complete alteration, the Pit being
thrown into a Ride, and the astonishing sagacity of
the horses, by every one lying down, on their first ap-
pearance in the Ride, attracted general attention.
Zeinsda, the 'Ol ood -cutter's daughter, was personified
by bliss DELI', whose inimitable performance during
the whole of the evening, received every mark of ap-
probation, and was highly applauded throughout.—
Mr. HUNTLEY, as Dubar, (the Chief of the 1 ;ger
Horde) sustained his part admirably, and received his
share of praise. Indeed, the whole of the performers
exerted themselves to the utmost, and the piece was
given out fLr repetition with the universal approbation
of the audience.

Bow-STREET.—On Tuesday, N. Hollins was
charged with shooting Eliz. Piicher, with a loaded
pistol, with intent to murder her. It appeared that
E. Pitcher is housemaid to Mr. Cartwright in Lower-
Grosvenor-street, and is about 20 years of age. On
Monday night, about a quarter past ten o'clock, the
footman of Mr. Cartwright. answered a knock at the
door, when the prisoner presented himself, and asked
if Elizabeth was at home ? he, understanding him to
mean Elizabeth Pilcher, replied she was, and called
her up stairs. She A•ent to the outside of the street
door with the prisoner, sluittieg the door after her ;
the footman went into the parlour, and in a very short
time after he heard the discharge of a pistol, and a fe-
male voice screaming very loud : he went to the street
door with all possible speed, when he found Elizabeth
Filcher, and the prisoner close behind her ; he did
riot perceive then any discharge of blood, but he
observed her gown ragged on the right side, and
very black. occasioned by gunpowder : he supported
her in his arms. When Elizabeth Filcher was un-
dressed, a large wound was observed under her right
breast, and d copious discharge of blood from it. Mr.
Cartwright's son was the first who seized the/prisoner,
and took a pistol from him, the barrel of which was
completely burst and shivered to pieces ; the lock of
the pistol could not be found : the prisoner being pro-
perly seemed was conveyed to St. George's watch-
house, where Sir JOHN HIPPISLEY, who is a Magi•
straw for the county, attended, his house being oppo-
site to Mr. Cartwright's. The prisoner, on his exami-
nation, confessed that he had shot Elizabeth Pilcher,
having been in her company on the afternoon pre-
vious to that night, and he added, that he was insti-
gated to the horrid deed in consequence of her re.
fusing to comply with his wishes ; he was asked to
explain what these were, but he refused. He pro-
fessed, however, to be in love with her.
Wm. Dean, a constable, searched him, and found
upon him a lerge brass pistol, not loaded, which
matched the other found upon him, which was burst;
the bursting of it he explained to be owing to his having
loaded it to the tap. Both the pistols had J. P. en-
graved on the brass-work of the butt ends ; and on
his being called upon to explain these initials, he
stated that the pistols had been the property of Eliza-
beth Pilcher's tether, who died about 12 months since,
and he had purchased them of the widow, under a
pretence of keeping them for his seke. He and the
deceased were in the Excise together, and when Mr.
Pitcher was on his death bed, lie had made the pri-
soner promise to take care of his family, which pro.
duced an intimacy' bete een him and the family, in
consequence of which he fanned an attachment to
Elizabeth Pilcher, which she had resisted. He con-
fessed himself to be a married man, bet had not lived
with his wife for a length of time. This conduct, be-
sides being infamous, was extravagant, he being a
rs:ii to appearance between 40 and 50 years of age,
and having no personal recommendations. During
the night, lie wad extremely tick in the watch-hose,
and he drank between three and four quarts of water.
Those who had the care of the watch-house thought
at first that it was owing to the heat of the weather,
the closeness of the place, and the agitation of his
mind ; at laa they observed something in his conduct
which indicated more than common illness, and ques-
tioned him as to what he had taken ; he confessed
that he had intended to poison himself with arsenic at
the time he shot Elizabeth Pilcher, but had taken such
a small quantity that it only made him very sick ;
this was owing to the pistol bursting, which knocked
the phial out of his band, which contained the arsenic.
This was confirmed by a piece of glass being found,
v. filch had the appearance of being part of a small
phial, with arsenic adhering to the sides, and small
pieces of glass being found on the steps, and at the
door of Ylr. Cartwright's house. The arsenic appear.
ed to have had no other bad effect on him, as when he
was brought to she office, he appeared in good health.
John Houghton, a watchman, stated, that he was
the first watchman who took charge of the prisoner.
He saw a pistol in the prisoner's hand, and Mr. Cal t-
wright, jun. take it from him. After he had seized
the prisoner by the collar, he told him he had killed
the woman, she being then lying in the footman's
arms ; the prisoner replied he did not intend to have
killed her, but intended it for himself, and begged that
he might be allowed to kiss her lips.
Mr. Heaviside, thesurgeon, who dressed the wounds
of Elizabeth Pilcher, did not attend. The witnesses

stated her to be living at the time they left Mr. Cart-
wright's house, but it was supposed she could not
survive. The prisoner stated himself to have been
discharged from the Excise Office. He was COM-
alitted for further milllination.

1.41 V INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 6.
THOMAS AND WIFE V. JottsisoN.
This action was brought to recover compensation
in damages for a violent assault on tke wife of the
plaintiff.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated the case.—The
plaintiff was the proprietor of an a-la•mode beef shop
in Clare-court, Clare-market ; and the defendant was
..lso in the same line of business, and resided in the
immediate neighbourhood of the plaintiffs—they lived
nearly opposite to each other. The defendant, how-
ever, Had tontrived to make plenty of Money by his
business, and he was not backward in bragging of his
:food-tortune.—Ayncingst other luxuries that , he was
iti tile habit of indulging In, was a horse and chaise.--
luxury that might excite a little envy in those whose
avocations cooped them in Courts of Law during the
greater part of the day, especially in such fine wea-
ther. On one of those days when the defendant had
been taking his usual ride to his country lodgings at
Lambeth-marsh, or elsewhere, he returned about
eight o'clock in the evening ; and on his return •" all
booted and spurred as he w.,5," with whip in hand,
he was soon found in the house of his neighbour Mr.
Thomas, violently beating Mrs. 'l'. over the face and
head, assaulting Mr. T. with the whip, and commit-
ting altogether a most desperate outrage. But the
present action was for the assault on the wile only.
It would be natural to ask, what could be the cause
of all this rumpus, as some cause there must be ? The
only imaginable cause was, that Mrs. T. had refused
to purchase caps, &c. of a strolling cap-seller, who
had just been selling some of her manufactures to
Mrs. Johnson, and her servants ; and becanse Mrs.
T. said, that the woman might go to Mrs. Johnson's
again, the ire of the tremendous a-la-mode beef man
had been so aroused as to induce him to pi aceed im-
mediately, for the honour of his house, to assault Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas.
A young woman, who was passing by Thomas's
door at the time of the fray, said, that she saw Mr. J.
striking Mrs. T. most violently over the face ; that
he dragged her alo•ug the passage, and that he threw
the whip at Mr. Thomas, and cut him across the
face. A gentleman who had by this time come up,
said to JOhnson, that he had done a wrong thing ; and
Johnson answered, " that be d—d, and if they want
law, I am ready to have it with them, for I have as
many pounds as they have shillings." Mrs. T. was
cut and beaten dreadfully, and her ear was bitterly
torn.

These facts were confirmed by a servant and two
gentlemen who were passhig by at the time, and who
saw it ; and it further appeared that about two hours
afterwards, Johnson, standing, at Mr. Thomas's door,
called out to Mr-. 'l'." Nell, Madam, have you had
enough of it, or would you like to have a little more ?"
George," replied Mrs. T. " su-,it conduct does not
become you."
Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, said, the middle
and the end of the business had only been laid before
the Jury—the plaintiff had not dated to call those
witnesses who could give an account of the beginning
of it. There was no case made out for great damages,
except the Jury wished to encourage differences be
tween the parties.
Verdict for plaintiff—damages £7O.
OLD BAILIN.
The Sessions commenced yesterday before Mr.
Justice 133:Ley and Mr. Justice DALLAs, the Lola:,
Mayon, and the City Officeri.
Francis Sturgis was indicted for stopping Jahn
Scotland on the King's highway, putting him in tear,
and taking from his person two tokens. It appeared
by the state:nent of the prosecutor, tiat he was passing
along Lisle street, on his way how. between eleven
and twelve o'clock, on the night of the t 9.. h of May,
when the prisoner, in co:npany with two men and a
woman, attacked the prosecutor and accused him ri
having ill-used the woman. - The prisoner represen-
ted himself as an offLer of justice, and insisted that
the prosecutor should go to the wAtch-house. Ile ex-
pressed his wiliingness to to, having committed no
offence, and it not being likely the party could extort
money front him, the prisoner changed his tone and
charged him with mat itural propensities. Shocked
:it an imputation so base the prosecutor gave the pri-
,oner three shillings and afte: wards an eighteen-penny
piece, when he was suffeted dephrt. rite prosecu-
tor met the prisoner suede days atter when he identified
him and caused him to be secured. Guilty— Death
