MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Le Turc, the person who
produced a knife, with a threat, to the Magistrates of
this Office, was.brought up for re-examination. He
had no other excuse to offer for his outrageous con-

secution, and had in vain sought redress. A pet sun
in t e Office represented to the Sitting Magistrate,
that he had been considered insane at timo: for many
years, although he occupied a situation as French
teacher. The Magistrate remanded him for another ,
meek, remarking that he was not a fit person to be at
la!ge, and his friends would have an opportunity of
appearii.g at the next examination.

fender was to have been examined yesterday at Marl-
borough-street Office, the crowd which blocked up
the avenues to get a sight of him was very great ;
Lut the examination was postponed till a future. day.
Bowler acts as a madman in New Prison, his conduct
having been so violently obstreperous as to cause a
removal from the room where he was first confined:
to another part of the prison, where coercion has been
resorted to as necessary to restrain his violence. His
behaviour resembles that of a desperado ; but the
question of insanity, if such plea be set up; will bb
tried in the Old Bailey Court. He has denied food
since his confinement.
Upwards of 1.50 prisoners of war, the crews of dif-
ferent privateers, arrived last week at Portsmouth,
'from the Mediterranean, in the Robert transport, and
'Tore sent on board the prison-ships in Fareham lake,
Cartels have been sailing almost daily last week, n ith
the invalid prisoners for France.
Friday the dead body of a man was found floating
in Portsmouth harbour, ?nd flora his being entirely
naked, and a rope tied round his body, there remains
no doubt but he is the man who was missing when
several prisoners broke out of the Marengo, the be.
ginning of last month, as they all had their bags tied
round their bodies.
It appears, by authentic accounts, that the follow-
ing cities and towns had suffered by the earthquake
which destroyed Caraccas and La Guira :—Cumana,
New Barcelona, Valencia, and Maigueta, nearly de-
stroyed ; Barquisimeto, Santa Rosa, and Caudare,
totally destroyed ; St. Charles and Caramaocte, very
much injured ; Arilaqua, sunk ; and.the inland town
of Si. Philip, with a population of 1200 souls, en-
tirely swallowed up.
