MURDER.

Thursday evening an Inquisition was taken at the
Britannia, in Golden-lane, Cripplegate, before MO..
MAS SHELTON, Esq. Coroner for London and South-
wark, on the body of Mary Faircloth, about thirty-
three years of age, who was found dead in her bed
on Tuesday morning last, when the several witnesses
deposed to the following. facts ;---Deceased was a
widow, but had cohabited with a man, named Tho-
mas Lee, for the last five years ; they had resided for
some time past, at No. 1, Nag's Head-court, Gol-
den-lane; and their child, about three years old, lived
with them.

Ann Walker, an elderly woman, who lodges at the
corner of the Court, stated, that deceased had been
ill since Monday, 26th ult. that she frequently visited
her during her illness, which confined her to her bed ;
that she went to see her on Friday, the 30th ult. and
rein ained with her some time; that on that occasion,
Thomas Lee being present, deceased said to her, " I
-shall never get out of bed again; that rogue Tom has
given me my death blow; he has murdered me;"
Lee must have heard her; he made no remark, but
stood by the fire warming his hands ; the witness fur-
ther stated, that the deceased subsequently and fre-
quently informed her, that on the evening of Mon-
day, the 26th ,of August, Lee had used her in the
most barbarous manner, had struck and kicked her ,
till sbe fell, and then jumped on her left breast ; it'
wag this treatment that caused her illness ; witness be-
lieved that the deceased was fully aware of her dan-
gerous situkion, as she repeatedly declared that she
should never again leave her bed.
Sarah Colwyn and Martha Kendrick severally de-
posed to the ill-treatment of the deceased by Lee, to
.her relation of his barbarous usage on Monday, the
' 26th of August, and to her statement of his giving
her " her death blow."

Thomas Lynn, apothecary, residing in Whitecross-
street, deposed to baring attended and examined the
deceased on Monday morning last ; was of opinion
that she could not survive the injuries she had re-
ceived; told her to send to him, and he would make
up a lotion for her ; she did mot send, nor did he visit
her again.
Mr. Langstaff, of No. 2, New Basinghall-street,,
iurgeon, deposed, that he had opened the body, it
was much bruised in various parts ; on opening the
abdomen, the peritoneum was much inflamed;—
there was a considerable effusion of blood beneath
than part of it which covers the muscles on the left
side, and the rectus abdominis muscle was completely

jesty, given to the Proprietor by his late Royal Highness the

According to the latest accounts from St. Peters-

Russian Ambassador at Constantinople ; and all

The Nurentburg Correspondent contains a letter

()Bowing is an extract
There were always three evils for which Pera
trembled—fires, the plague, and popular tumults.
e are not a moment sure that we shall not be visited
.y all these evils at once, of which one alone is
sough. Nay, we are threatened with a fourth,
hich we had formerly no reaAnt to fear, namely,
amine. The number of people continues to encrease
.y the arrival of the Asiatics, and it is to be feared
at all the magazines of provisions will soon be
mptied, though the greatest care has always been
aken in Constantinople to keep them filled. Whence,
inder the present circumstances, shall supplies be
r.twn for the daily support of a million cf people.
Vallachia and Moldavia are laid waste, and the

K It may be necessary fur me to say something respecting the
singular coincidence of my having chosen the same subjects as
Lord Byron for two of my Dramas. I entreat permission to
assert, and credit when I du assert, that it is entirely accidental
—that my Dramas were written long before Lord Byron's were
announced—before I could have had any idea that his brilliant
pen was engaged upon the Drama at all. The inferiority of the
execution of mine may, perhaps, lead me to regret that I have
selected the same subjects, otherwise I never can lament any
coincidence with the admired Author of Manfred and Childe

ROUND V. PRICE.

This action was brought by a marker-gardener
against the owner of a hackney-coach, to recover da-
mages for the overturning a cart, by the negligent
driving of the coachman. The accident took place
on Bhckfriars•bridge, between two and three o'clock
in the morning of a day in July. The plaintiff was
driving his cart to Covent-garden market when he
was overtaken by the defendant's coach, in which
a party were returning from Vauxhall. The car•
riages came in contact on the Bridge, in consequence
of which the cart was overturned and broken, and the
horse received a slight injury.
On the part of the defendant, the coachman was
called, who attributed the accident to the, conduct of
the plaintiff, ia drawing his cart a little out of the
line as the coach was proceeding ; but the Jury, with-
out hearing the reply of Mr. SCIA RL EDT, for the plain-
tiff, found a verdict—Damages £5 10s.

fore last excited as much alarm as the preceding,
not only a great number of private letters; but tr,i
the mercantile correspondence spoke cf war as prcb,t-
ble. The paper currency has fallen three I:er cult ia
four days, and the loans five or six; but isoll;im
seems to intimidate the Liberals. The Ministry,
ever, it is said, are much ethbarrassed, because.
want of money is sensibly felt in all the departn.c..: •
of the Administration, and 'the decline of the Spa:.:,
Funds abt oad does not facilitate the contract for 1:
new loan, without which the operations in
may be impeded.
Among other reports circulated resprttinz
'measures to be adopted in case of a los
sion, is, that the King and the Royal Family
be removed to Seville, and a Provisional'
established at Madrid ; however, let what 'will L:,
there is no reason to fear that he will be sactil4.t:'
by the Liberals, but we must not be surerised it :It'
should be replaced by a Regency, espeLially if Si),.`
should be forced into a foreign war.

The majority of the Cortes and the Ministry
on this point; and such a measure would be aN,ToveJ,
not only by the Clubbists, but a great i•.O t 1,1
nation which has ceased to feel much inn.; elt in
Sovereign. Ills people do not forget the benclits
the misfortunes which they owe to the Mt:ire:is
and it must be confessed that Ferdhlatud, r. ho

,livious measures .faiightlaie made the Spanish na-
,, happy, has,in a great-measure to thank his own
;:nri,*eece for _the critical situation in which him-
telt and his people are plasedt

And to the tent-door ran ;
When in the bright boots they surveyed

They thought some spectre from below
It was that thus to flame could glow,
And haunted thus their sleep;
Away they fed, and never more
Returned to roam the common o'er,
And steal Sir Williams sheep.
Ills pounds, Sir William, gladly paid,
And to his Butler drily said,
As he his lips were smacking ;
" Since by the bloom your bright boots bore
You've saved my sheep,—take ten pounds more,
To spend in Wesess's /forking !"

It/0m she and the prisoner were awakened out of their •
sleep by. Violent knocking at the dour; thtu .the pri-
toner got up and assured the olicers diet they were
mistaken ;he desiied them to retire, but they refused
to do so; and it was not until they broke the pannel
of the prisoner's door that the bottle was thrown.
The-Jury retired for a considerable time, and the
'Court having sent to ascertain whether they were '
likely to agree in their verdict, an answer Was re-
turned, that eleven-af them were for convicting the
prisoner, on what they looked on to be clear and con-
clusive evidence; one only entertained a contrary opi-
nion, and returned an answer, that he would sooner
starve than convict the prisoner.
The CHAIRMAN expressed his surprise at this an-
sweat there could be no doubt, in his opinion, of the
evidence on the part of the prosecution. He was sur-
Iprised that any man wishing to do justice could he.:
skate as to the verdict:; therecould not be a clearer case.
After some conversation between the Gentlemen of
the Bar and the Agent. for the prosecution, it was
agreed that. the prisoner :-could have liberty to with-,
draw his plea of Not Guilty, and plead Guilty.
'Mr. ANDREWS, on the part of the prisoner, ex-1
pressed the regret he felt at having committed the'
asault, and said that he was ready to pay a sum of
51. in aid of the funds of a charitable institution.
The CITATRMAN said he was well advised in the
course he had taken.

given him the slightest provocation before the asset*.
A little girl who had seen the whole affair, corm:

the conduct of the defendant highly brutal.
Mr. Noutox, for the defendant, said, that the met
secutor was in the habit of keeping a regularly bred •
game cock, for the purpose of beatiug the defendant's,
which was dunghill." Some altercation cer-
tainly arisen respecting the birds, but the prosecutor
had commenced the assault by striking the defendant
with the whip.
To prove this statement several witnesses we're
called, but they prevaricated so much that the Julir
immediately found the defendant Guik,.
The RECORDER said, he had never met with a case
of more cowardly assault, and to teach him to guard .
his passion, and to have more respect for age in fu-
ture, the sentence of the Court was, that he should
be imprisoned six weeks in the Cornpter, a.nd pay •
fine of five pounds to the King.

SION OF THE ARMIES OF COLOMBIA, VICE-PRESI-
DENT OF THE REPUBLIC, CHARGED WITH THE EXE-
CUTIVE POWER, &C.
Whereas it has come to the knowledge of the Republic of
Colombia, that certain individuals resident in Europe assume to
themselves the title of agents of the said Republic, and, under
that imposture, contract obligations in its name, which in some
measure compromise the honour and public faith of the State; in
order that such persons as are not informed of the defective autho-
rity with which the before-mentioned agents have acted, or are
acting, and being-desirous to prevent the recurrence of such scan-
t? .lous abuses, and to save from all kind of embarrassment those
who without due intimation might be imposed upon to the pre-
judice of the interests of the Republic, and also of their own,
the Governing Council, having deliberated, has resolved to de-
clare, and it is hereby declared as follows:
I. No person, either citizen of Colombia or foreigner, is at
present authorized in Europe to make engagements, contract
loans, or in any way to bind the Government of Colombia to the
fulfilment of any compact, convention, or obligation whatever.
2. The honourable Francisco Antonio Zea, resident In Paris,
is alone auth•.rrized to interfere in the political affairs specially
under his charge, according to hi; instructions.
3. No contract, convention, or engagement shall be considered
obligatory on the Government of Colombia unless it shall be or
has been preceded by the express authority of the said Govern-
ment.
4.. Notice shall be given in the Gazette of the Republic of the
persons who hereafter may be invested with the before-mentioned

authority.
The department of the Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs is charged with the execution of this Decree, which shall be
published for the information of all pers.ms whom it may concern.
Given under my seal, awl the seal of the Republic, and re-
ferred to the Office of the Secretary of State for the dispatch of

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

IN this Preparation are :. concentrated all the Medi
cinal Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a perfect
saturation of the Menstrum with which it is prepared. To such
persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience
reat in;:onvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impos-
sible to prepare the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which pos-
sesses the advantages of portability, and of keeping in any cli-
mate, will be found a must desirable mode of employing this
much esteemed Medicine.

The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those
of the skin, such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases,
Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased state of the
system at large. It may be taken either alone, or combined
with water, rttidering it of the same strength as the Decoction.
The Ficid Extract of Sarsaparilla may he had either in a
simple or compound state,.of . Messrs. BDTLER, the original Pre-
parers, No. 4, Cheapside ; and AO, Regent-street, London ; 20,

And raising him, devils and all, on his back,

And just as t,e price of the body was paid him,
It sprueg trona the sack, and cried out in ternirant
" This nit, is alive! (cried the dealer) by Gi'n !"

And gaining the door—" in the Cellar then plant him,
" And there you can kill him, you know, when you want hint "

For " Devils appear !" now the Toper repeated :

His image descried in each Boot, and he thought

casion., l‘r.itaw, he could-nowt °polo ;
his opinion was, that this ituerteation was a mis•
chievous libel. The Jury %mild have to say, whether
they so considered it. If they considereditdeserving
of that title, then they would find the defendant
-guilty ; if they should come to a different Opinion,
they would find a verdict in his favour.
The Jury retired, arid after being ab4nt two hours
and a half, returned with a verdict of Guilty against
l'the defendant.

THE KING-0. CLART. •
Mr. MARRYATT stated, that the defendant in this
ease was indicted for publishing a profane' libel. •
Mr. GURNEY stated the case.—The defendant was
indicted for the publication of a book under the title
of Queen Ma. When he should have proved this
publication, and the Jury should have heard it read,
he was convinced they would have no doubt either
as to the character of the work or the intention of the
author. It was a work of the most irreligious and
blasphemous description, and was written some years
ago by a very young man; and a few, but very few,
copies were then privately circulated: but it had since
fallen into oblivion, and would so have continued,
had it not been for the defendant, who having by
some means obtained a copy, and knowing that in
such a work the author could maintain no property,
he had claimed it as his own, published it, and ap-
propriated the profits to his own use. Tile defendant
set forth this fact in a preface.' The Jury would find
the book consistentin witkedness•from beginning to
end. He world not further cite the blasphemous
passages, as they would be under the painful neces-
sity of hearing them read by the officer.
John Jones was then called, and proved that, on the
4th May, 1821, he purchased the book now produced,
of the defendant himself, at his own shop.
Mr. Abbott then read the libellous passages,whieh
were of the most profane and irreligious description,
and which we cannot suffer ourselves to become the
vehicle to circulate.
