• MANSION HOUSL--Yesterday. the case wherein
Anse Savvy was charged with robbing Mr. Askew,
of Grantham of between • three and four thousand
pounds, and Sward Hart, as an accessary, was finally
investigated.—lt will be recollected that on the occa- ,
'km of an interview, between the prosecutor artil fe-
male pritoner, previous to the first examination, she
insionated. that upon certain conditions, she would
make him " a happy man." This intimation was
more fully explained a few days back, when she • pro.
posed to the prosecutor that he should withdraw pro-
ceedings and perform his 44 promise of marriage," in
consideration of the lull restoration of his property.—
The proposal,- after considerable reflection, was ac-
ceded to, and the prosecutor having announced his
intention of a non-prosecution, the prisoners were dis-
charged upon their own recognisance of future ap-
pearance, in case the property was not duly restored.
Agreeably to this arrangement the ftreseemtor and the
prisoner left town in a post chaise together, for Grant.
ham, where, upon their arrival, the former led Mr.
Askew to the place where the prop frty was caneedleJ,
and he was put in possession of the whole of his lost
property, amounting to two thou:and pintas in gold,
and about Xl4OO in bank notes. The removal of the
money was fully confessed by the prisoner Surgey,
but denied having taken it with a felonious, or any
other intent tan that 'of inducing the prosecutor to
maw her.--information, by letter, to this effect,
having been yesterday laid before the Loan mAson,
and the prosecutor expressing himself satisfied upon
the subject, the complaint was dismissed.

Saturday se'nnight as Mr. ALEXANDER BUItRAGE
wl•as walking to the falls of Clyde, be went down to
the channel of the river, a little above Corra Lin,
where its breadth in summer is little more than two
yards. It is supposed he had slipped from the edge
of the rock for his companion, hearing some noise,
looked round, when he had totally disappeared in the
rapid entrant, and his hat only was to Oe seen on the
surface. Every exertion to recover his body had been
ineffectual when last accounts came away ; and it is
thought that the body is gone below some of the un-
dermined rocks, as the narrow current he fell into
runs into a large bacon, of very great depth, partly
surrounded by the high rock on which the old castle
of Corra-house stands. Mr. BunitAGE was a native
of Ipswich, and went to Scotland about a year sinte,
to teach in the Laticasterian School of New Lanark.

Thuisdave'unOlt, Joseph Amble:, a .corporal in
the Ist
.Ittgiment of Fort G.:ards, got up in his sleep,
and leaped out of 1 charnber.w:ndow, at a public-
house, at Quarry Hill, Leeds, and was dreadfully
bruised by the tall. H‘: was taken to the Infirmary,
where, after lingerin.i.: a few days, he expired. He was
buried with militar. honours.

We are sorry to state the loss of the Endeavour,
Captain RICHAIRD.NON, which sailed from Cork on the
2d of June, and continued her vayage till die 9th of
July. The weather being very thick, and 4 heavy
fog, she got on shore on the Horn Rock, near Cape
Bullard, Newfoundland, where she continued to beat
a considerable time—the wind coming round to the
I westward, she drove off into a little adjacent Cove,
having six feet water in the bold, her rudder beat off,
and being bilged, she was hourly.expected to go to
pieces when the last accounts came away. The crew
and passengers were saved. She was bound toQue-
hec, with a valuable cargo of wines, spirits,
ter, Wef, pork, linen, canvas, &c.—Letters from
Ferryland (Newfoundland) state, that very little
hopes *ere entertained of any part of the cargo
being saved.
