Saturday, Michael Harley was brought to Bow •
greet Office, and underwent an examination before
THOMAS HALLS, Esq. charged with attempting to
sob a Gentleman twice in Coventry-street. The pri-
soner, it appears, has but lately escaped an ignomi-
nious death, he having been capitally convicted at
the Old Bailey for an offence under the following
circumstances :—A Gentleman was standing up at
Charing•cross, at the time one of the Processions
was passing to the late Queen, when he was attacked
by a gang of thieves, who drove him against a shop.
door, knocked him down, ill-treated him, and robbed
him of his gold watch, &c. with which they made
their escape. Some time after the Gentleman met
the prisoner, had him secured, brought him to the
Office, and charged him with being one of the rob-
bers, and the man who actually took his watch from
birn. During the prisoner's examination he behaved
eith a considerable degree of violence, and observed
to the Gentleman, he wished the man who had rob-
bed him had shot his b—v head off, then he Would
not have been there to give evidence against him.—
He was tried, cast, and ordered for execution for
'be offence. On his being ordered for execution, the
ini"ler, whose family is respectable, having so far
tunrinced his brother of his innocence of the charge
he was about to suffer for, as to induce him to exert
himself to save him from an ignominious death, he
succeeded in cor:vincing tile Gentleman that he had
been mistaken in the identity of the prisoner's person 1,
the Gentleman in consequence became frantic till he
succeeded in procuring a reprieve from the King,
which, however, did net arrive at Newgate till the
night previous to the morning he was ordered for
c.Secution, and in a month afterwards he received the
King's free pardon. The prisoner said in private on
aturday, after he was in custody, that on the morn-
ing he was ordered for execution, when those went
ou. t of their cells to be hanged, with whom he was to
be executed, he wished he had been gcing out with
ti/ems and that he had not been reprieved. •

Wednesday the BRAZEN, 28 guns, Captain Wm.
SHEPHEA RD. returned in Portsmouth from St. Helena,
with the brig HARDY (in 56 days), in consequence of
the dissolution of the naval force hitherto stationed
at that island, by the death of BONAPARTE, and the
restoration of the island to the controul of the East
India Company. Rear-Admiral LAMBERT was to
leave, in the Vico, 74, Captain T, BROWN, on the
10th September, for the Cape of Good Hope, to em-
bark Commissioner Sir JAHLFEL BRENTON and the
other Officers of the Dock-yard Establishment there,
and bring them back to England. The Storekeeper is to

and an Assistant Surgeon in charge of the Naval

to return to England. The Royal Marines, com-
manded by Major JOHN CAMPBELL, which lett Eng-
land in the HEituN. had taken possession of the Island
of Ascension. It abounds with Guinea fowl, so much
so, that a good day's shoring can be had ; the horned
cattle were but few ; goats in considerable number.
Six days' supply of water could be collected, but
with great trouble. Vegetation was thriving fast.—
The 20th Regiment is to proceed from St. Helena to
Madras: Mawr-General CoPFIN was left in command.
Mr. BROOKE, Senior Member of Council, had taken up
his residence at Plantation (late Sir HUDSON LOWE'S),

gone thither with the HERON, for the purpose of esta-
blishing the marine force on the island. The BRAZEN

ship Claudine, bound to Port Jackson, with convicts
—all well.

A letter from New Orleans, of August 18, gives in-
telligence of a distressing steam-boat accident. The
boiler of the Yankee lately burst, by which fifteen
passengers were scalded (we do net learn to what de-
gree), and three of the boat's hands were killed.
A melancholy accident happened on Thursday, the
25th ult. at Walsoken, near Wisbeach. A young man,
named Cunnington, got into an oven which had been
recently built, and was clearing the rubbish from the
inside, when the whole fell in upon Lim, and he was
killed almost instantaneously by the pressure.
REMARKABLE SFEECIL—Mr. CUFF, Secretary to
the Earl of Essex, was executed in the reign of Queen
ELIZABETH, for the same offence which brought his
Imaster to the block. At the place of execution he
made the following speech :
.4 I am here adjudged to die for acting an act never plotted,
for plotting a plot never acted ; Justice will have her course ;
accusers must be heard; greatness must have the victory; scho-
lan and martialists (though learning and valour should have the
pre-eminence) in England must die like dogs and be hanged. To
mislike this were but folly ; to dispute it but time lost ; to alter
it impossible; but to endure it is manly, and to scorn it magna-
nimity. The Queen is displeased; the lawyers imperious; and
death terrible; but I crave pardon of the Queen; forgive the
lawyers and the world ; desire to he forgiven; and welcome death."
An Irish Baronet (Sir B. It.) is said to have re-
marked, that 4, a single misfortune never comes
alone ;" and it appears with BISH, that a siogle
£30,000 never comes alone ; for when he sells one;
he is not contented with making it a couple, but ge-
nerally includes all the others. Observe the proof :
In one Lottery he sold all the Three Thirty Thou-
sands, and in another Lotte: y, Two. He sold the
1£30,000 drawn last Tuesday ; and as there are still
Two in the Wheel, he will no doubt have triple luck,
and sell the whole of them.
