Advice: frem St. Petersburgh to the 30th ult.
state, that provisions of all kinds are excessivelptlear.
Corn is double the usual price; and meat, which is
commonly half the price of tallow, fetches more than
double. Happy people! they are not afflicted with
the fatal curse of this country—plenty ; and do nut
count, amongst their calamities, over-production!

(Frew the New Mont*► Malaise)

Esti MARCII look'i on his dying child,
And unit with grief ttrldew her—
The youth, he cried, whom I exiled,

Shall be restored to woo her !
She's at the window many an hour
His coming to discover;
And her love look'd up to Et.t.rit's bower.

And she look'd on her lover—
Barahl so pale, he knew her not,
Tkkolgh her smile on him was dwelling—
And am I then forgot—forgot?—
It broke the heart of Euro
In Vain he weeps, is vain he Lieu,

Her cheek is cold as ashes;
Nor love's own kiss shall wake those eyes
To lift their silken lashes !

CORONATION FEES.
Bow-segarr.--Yesterday being the day appointed for the
second examination of Mr. Janes Phillips, who is charged with
receiving sums of money from a number of Peers, under a pre-
text of Coronation Fees, Mr. Fellows, the Secretary to the
Lord Great Chamberlain, attended before Siir Rrcitasn Manny
at a quarter before two o'clock, and: stated that he had come
from Lord Gwydyr, who concluded• that there was sufficient
evidence to commit Mr. Phillips, and further' evidence should
'be produced on the trial.
Sir RICHARD Bram replied, that so far from there being
sufficient evidence to commit Mr. Phillips, be had not direct
proof of any' charge before him ; and there must be a proof of
payment of money under a false pretence or representation ;
aid if there was not that proof before hint, be must discharge
Mr. Phillips.
Mr. Fellowes in consequence wrote a letter immediately tol
Lord Gwydyr, which he sent off by a special messenger, in-'
farming his Lordship of what Sir Richard Birnie had said.
While the messenger was gone, a Gentleman suggested that
Mr. Morris, the steward of the Duke of Northumberland, could
shortly be procured, he was accordingly sent for.
On the arrival of Lord Gwyslyee answer td Mr. Fellowes, he
read the contents, his Lordship saying it was impossible for hint,
at that short notice, to procure any evidence. About the same
time Mr. Mortis arrived, when Mr. Phillips, accompanied by
his son and a friend, was brought to the office, when Mr. Morris
was sworn, who stated that on the 19th of February last Mr.
Phillips called upon him at Northumberland House, and said
Le came from the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office for the Co-
ronation Fees, and the sum demanded being only two guineas, he
did not *link it necessary to trouble the Duke upon the subject,
but paid the money, and entered it in his book, " Coronation
Fees, two guineas, an extract of which he produced.
Sir RIM\ as BlllblE said he thought it right to ask Mr. Fel-
lowes two questions. The first one was :—lf there were any
Coronation Fees? and the second was, if Mr. Phillips was in the
Lord Great Chamberlain's. employ on the 19th of February ?
Jalr. Fellowes replied, first, there were no fees as be knew of ; he
could not find any record of any in the Lord Great Chamber-1
lain's Office. He replied, secondly, Mr. Phillips was not in the
employ of the Lord Great Chamberlain on the 19th of February,l
he having been discharged in the month of August last, the bu-
siness of the Coronation being over.
Dlr. Phillip, in his defence, admitted all that was said, and,
ja rifled what he had done, by saying Mr. Fellowes had said he
might make what fees be could, and that he could prove that
Coronation Fi vs were taken at the Coronation of George 111.
by subordinate officers like himself, by a man who is 78 years ofl
age. lle reperaed his co saltation at his commencement with
t to Earl of Harrowby, who advisel him to get a book in pre
-
f rerce to a sheet of paper ; but be did not say that the Noble.
Eirl advised him to stamp it with the insignia of authority such
as 6.11 Lord Great Chamberlain's Office, Coronation Fee,' &c.
as the h ;k without these would have been as harmless as the
sli .et of pap, r. He also represented the interview he had with
Earl of Shaftesbury, who approved of his conduct. The ctily
Peer i.e mined as objecting to pay was the Earl of Verulant, who
said it would be a tax upon the Peers, as it was possible there
might be a Coronation every ten years!
fir RICIIA RD BIIKNIE advised him to discontinue that kind of 1
defence, as by his own sheaving from the language used by the,
Earl of Ve:ulatn, he most have gone to him by way of demand,
which, however, Mr. Phillips positively denied, and expressed
great abhortence at the idea of his using any false pretence, and
all that was given to him was purely optional. Mr. Morris and
Mr. Fellowes having signed their depositions, Mr. Woods, the.
Clerk, was about to bind them over in the usual way, to prose-
cute, when Mr. Fellowes stopped him and objected, s iying he did
not wish to appear as the prosecutor, but merely attended there
by desire of Lord Gwydyr, the Lord Great Chamberlain.
Sir RIC 11.• RD Etna, said, he hoped that Mr. Morris would
not be the only one singled out to give evidence, as, on looking
over Mr. Phillips's book, he particularly noticed the names of
the Marquis Camden, Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Kenyon, &c.
Mr. Morris also objected himself to give evidence, he nut ex-
pecting, when be was sent for to the Office, to be made to
prosecute. With these feelings of the witnesses, the binding. over
to prosecute was dispensed with.
Sir Rims an IlinNta then informed Mr. Phillips that the of-
fence with which he was charged was bailable, and that he
should not call upon him for a large sum, but Ea would be suf-
ficient. Mr. Phillips's friend, who proved to be Mr. Jeffries,
of St. Alban's-place, then stepped forward, and said he was
proud to cad. Mr. Phillips his friend, and spoke in the highest
terms of his integrity and honour, and that he had no doubt
that be would not do anything by a false representation.
Mr. Phillips's sou offered to return the money if it was consi-
dered his father had received it improperly.
Sir Racomto Maras, in reply to Mr. Jeffries, said. he dared
to say all he had said of Mr. Phillips was correct, and that the
Legislature, in passing the Act, did not contemplate such a case
ac this, but had in view embeazlements.
Mr. Phillips said be had no doubt he could procure a hundred
bails, which Sir Rieman) Blasts said he had no doubt of, and
being informed a second housekeeper was sent for, observed, he
bad very reluctantly committed Mr. Phillips, and very hand-
somely agreed to take the bail of Mr. Jeffries only.
NILITA EY LIBEL.

Thomas Webb, was brought to this Office yesterday, under the
following circumstances :—ln the year 1616, a private soldier of
the 3d Foot Guards, named John Hegg, died of a mortification
In the viscera, brought on by a complication of disorders. Some
time after his death, this Thomas Webb started up as his " next
of kin," and claimed an investigation of the circumstances con-
nected with his last illness. The Medical Officers of the Regi-
ment gave him every information ; but still he was not satisfied,
and he wrote to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment on the subject. The Home Secretary laid his letter before
his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, and his Royal
highness direct.ed a further and more minute investigation of
the matter. This was done, and for a time Thomas Webb ap-
peared satisfied. Latterly, however, be has been placarding the
streets with large written papers, headed, " The Military Black
job !" and offering a reward, or the thanks of the writer, to and
person who could give him information how the above-men-
tioned John Hegg came by his death, insinuating that he died
by unfair means, and accusing his Majesty's Masten and the
Officers of the 3d lust Guards of a wish to suppress all Inquiry
xeapecting it.
Many of these papers, all signed " Thomas Ile86," have been
posted up near the Horse Guards and the streets in the imme-
diate neighbourhood, and at length it was thought proper to ap- ,
ply to the Magistracy. Sir R}CHARD limout issued his warrant
accordingly, and Thomas Webb was taken into custody.
Colonel itooke, and several other Officers, were in attendance,
and a good deal of conversation took place, in the course of,
which Sir Riemsan 8110111 read a variety of documentary evi-
dence, and official reports, connected with the business, and
shewing that the soldier in question having been seized with a
'Lakin fit, was bled by the Assistant-surgeon of the Regiment,
and sent in a hackney-coach to the Regimental Infirmary ; that
the medicines usual in such cases were administered to him, and
that in three days afterwards he was discharged from the Hos.
pital, and resumed his duty apparently quite recovered ; that he
afterwards complained of a pain in the ars width had been bled,
sad on inspection it was found to be ~44 bdiamod. whet-.
