COLONEL BERKELEY.

We are authorized to insert the following statement
which we have received from Gentlemen of respecta-
bility, who will vouch for its correctness:
On Monday, March 14, on reading a paragraph in-
serted in the Cheltenham Journal of that day, Colonel
Berkeley observed to two of his friends, that the scur-
rilous remarks-which had been made on the Berkeley
Hunt Ball, reflecting in the most unjustifiable manner
upon the Ladies who had honoured it with their presence,
and the repetition of such remarks in the publication of
that morning, were a source of so much vexation and
annoyance to him, that he could not patiently submit to
the conduct of the Editor any longer—that as far as he
himself had been calumniated and reviled.he disregarded
their aspersions—but that the insult offered so directly
to the Ladies must be atoned for—that the repetition of
the attack on the subject of the Ball was the more inex-
cusable, as he, Colonel Betke!ey, had hoped that, after
the correct and unimpeachable statement which had
appeared in the Cheltenham Chrcnick of March 8, be,
Mr. Judge, would have admitted his error, or, at the
least, would not resume such remarks as he must well
knew were calculated to offend, and to provoke a breach
of the peace—but that in the Paper which he then held
in his hand, the insult was not only repeated but aggra-
vated—and that he was determined to canon Mr. Judge
for some explanation.
Colonel Berkeley accordingly requested his two friends
to accompany him, and to witness any transaction which
might occur. They complied with his request, and un-
derstanding that Mr. Judge resided in North-street, they
for a very long time paraded that street, as well as Al-
bion-street and Portland-street, in the hope of meeting
him in public •iew. Having waited without success,
they ascertained that Mr. Judge was at his lodgings, and
they accordingly repaired there. On entering the room
in which Mr. Judge was, Colonel Berkeley said, " Mr.
Judge, I must request to know the author of the foul
calumnies which have appeared in your Paper, on me
particularly, and on my friends generally." Mr. Judge
replied, "Whom have I the honour of addressing?"—
Colonel B. answered, " am Colonel Berkeley."—Mr.i
Judge then observed, that he should be happy to meet
hint at the Office and explain. Colonel Berkeley said,
" No—the present time must furnish the information,
and in this place." Mr. Judge declined making any
answer; when Colonel B. took him by the collar with
his left hand, and with his right inflicted a severe chas-
tisement with a hand-whip, to which Mr. Judge offered
no resistance, except by kicking, and scteaming " Mur-
der ! for GOD'S sake let me go r and similar expressions
of great pain. During the whole correction no person
approached or touched Mr. Judge, except Colonel
Berkeley, and some of the servants who came to his,
Mr. Judge's, assistance.—Cheltenheat Chronicle.

A Petition was presented from sundry retail Fish-

The Deputation appointed at the list Court, to wait

THE LATE Et.opauger.--Me..srs. C--Rs—s, the
father and uncle of the young Lady who eloped oa Tuesday evening,
returned to town last night, after a fatiguing and fruitless pursuit.
The suspicion is, that the fugitives bad so disguised themselves, as
to throw aside all idea of detection. Three Gentlemen were
noticed on the road, who are suspected to be the young couple and

a friend.
laisH PaABANTRY MagTlNo.—A Meeting was held
yesterday morning, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
Strand, for the purpose of taking into consider ation the
best means of ameliorating the condition of the pea-
'anti,' of Ireland. Sir T. Drumm in the Chair.—
The Meeting was not numerously attended. Mr. (Mow-
stun, and other eminent persons, were present. Seve-
ral Resolutions were carried : and after several speeches
in support of the object for which they met, the Meet-
ing broke up.
The East India Company are making the most ex-
tensive preparations to send out reinforcements to India. .
About seventy vessels, many of the largest dimensions,
have been tendered to them to carry out men and
stores; and the report is, that thirty thousand tons of
' shipping will be taken up by the Company. The
average tenders are la per ton out and home, and for
the voyage out about the half.
Thursday morning, Powell, who was convicted of
the murder of Ann Spence, underwent the awful sen-
tence of the law, at Stafford, and his body, after hang-
ing the usual time, was taken to the Infirmary for dis-
section. The wretched criminal bad been married ;
his wife died lately in Stafford Infirmary. He has left
one child, abou: three years old, whom he strongly ,
recommended to the care of his brother. It seems
that he evidently feared bis end, but exhibited little of
true repentance. While receiving the Holy Sacrament,
his hands trembled very much ; and after the adminis-
tration of this solemn ordinance, the Chaplain urged
him to relieve his mind by confession. He admitted
himself guilty of the robbery, but denied the murder.
He said he knew who did it, but would not tell. While
on the scaffold, he addressed tire surrounding multitude,
and set forth himself as an awful warn►ng to all—tell-
ing his hearers that, if they would escape his untimely
end, they must avoid the way that led to it—idleness
and bad company. This was well, had his whole de-
meanour been consistent ; but while his clothes were
being prepared for the awful moment, he kicked the
shoe off one of his feet among. the crowd. The drop
fell about fifteen minutes past eight, and the convulsive
struggle of death was soon over. Thus the wretched
man has atoned for his crime.

BOW-STREET.
The late hour at which the examination of Heavy Tigirtell took
place yesterday, prevented us from doing more than notice his
acquktal. It appears that he took the watch in the sight of the
prosecutor, and said he did it in a joke. He has served. in the
Navy, and bore with hint strong testimonials of his good conduct,
from Admiral Cochrane.
When asked by Mr. Haug, the Magistrate, if be was discharged,
what security he could give that he would conduct himself for the
future in a manner suitable to the character be bore before this
event took place ?—ThurteU (sighing heavily,aad in vain attempting
to prevent the big tears front trickling down his weather-beaten
and care-worn countenance), said—When I arrived from abroad, I
found that my unfortunate brother's condoet had covered my name
with disgrace. My friends turned their backs upon me. They
refused to hold any converse with me. i thus became an outcast
from society, and I cared not what became of me. (He could
contain his feelings no longer. He wept bitterly, and endeavoured
to conceal his anguish with his hands).
Mr. Haws asked him if he had any prospect of going to sea again ?
Ile said he had.
The Magistrate then directed him to be discharged. Thutte it
bowed and retired.
Throughout the unhappy man's address, scarce a pein
the Office could refrain from sympathising with him in akin
marked manner.
Among the papers taken from the unfortunate man, was a bill
for refreshments and other things, furnished by Mr. Tet-all, late t 4
the Coach and Horses, Conduit-street, Bond...trete to Thomas and
John ThurtelL It was made out " blessrs. T. and J. Thurteil to •
C. Tel," and among the items were " A pistol, X 2," and
" Horse and gig, and boy's expenses to Shure and back, AV."—
The bill was dated" October 12.3, 11125."
