Rohm MAY I—A deputation of Mineralogists and
Architects has been sent to the isle of Elba, in ord.r to
examine Whether certain columns could not be em-
ployed in the repair of the Church of St. Paul. We
understand that the report which they have made is
favourable, and that it has been resolved to enter into a
negociation for the purchase of them. The plan for
the improvement of the long street of the Corso, is to
be at length carried into effect, and the execution to be
entrusted to Messrs. Fumaroli and Vitelli, who have
contracted to perform it for 280,000 scudi. We do not
know in what these improvements will consist, except
in the level ing of the street, and the removal of the
raised loot path on each side. These foot ways may,
in some respects, be disagreeable to the eye, but we
should be sorry to have them levelled, as they afford a
great protection to the foot passengers at these seasons
of the year, when the street is crowded with carriages.
We wish that the plan of improvement may include the
removal of some ugly stables; the beautifying the fronts
of many houses, the cleating away of all kinds of stalls
and booths which offend the eye, and the substitution of
pipes, to carry off the water from the roofs, for the in.
convenient projecting water spouts.
It was rumoured yesterday in this city (says the
Philadelphia National Gazette), that Colonel BURR had

Mr. RANDOLPH to account, for having termed him a
scoundrel in one of h:3 speeches in the Senate, whikh
has been published in most of the newspapers.—Altae-

DREADFUL MURDERS.
/RCM MANdIIESTIR JOURNAL.
Toesli.sy night, a dreadful murder was perpetrated,
between Patr'croft and Worslev. Abcut ten tt'clock,
two men entered the public-house the Jolly Carter,
kept by Joseph Blears, and called for liquor. They
had not sat long before they urged the landlord
to join them, upon whom they pressed glass after
glass, till he became intoxicated. They inquired
whether they could be accommodated with a bed,
when an answer was returned in the affirmative. About
twelve o'clock they signified their intention to retire,
end were shewn to an upper chamber by the servant
girl. Immediately on reaching the door of the room,
one of them turned open the female, and aimed a blow
at her with a knife. In the struggle, and with a view
to defend herself, she held up her hands, and the fingers
of one of them were nearly cut off. They next made a
dreadful stroke at the throat, and nearly severed the
head from the body. A boy in an adjoining room, who
was in such a situation as to see what was going for-
ward, leaped out of bed, and in his terror threw himself
over the rails of the staircase, and flew out at the door.
The men instantly followed, and, in running down stairs,
met the mistress of the house, who had heard the noise,,
and was on her way to inquire into the cause. The'
man who held the knife, which was still reeking with'
human blood, struck at her with all his strength, added
to which was the weight of his own person, on his rapid
descent down the stairs. The instrumer.t entered I:er
cheek, and penetrated the bone, where it was left by the
villain, who, with has companion, pursued the boy who
had escaped. The poor lad fortunately succeeded in
concealing himself in a ditch near the place. The mnr-
derers, probably fearing that he had given the alat
fled. The landlord was unable to render any assistance;
and there is little doubt, from the circunasttnce of their
having teuced him to a state of helplessness, that they
had contemplated the murder of the whole family. The
servant girl was murdered on the spot; and the land-
lady, though living, is in a very dangerous state, the
knife having been struck with such violence into the
bone, that the blade was completely carved, and it took
a considerable time to extract it.

Pursuit after the murderers is makibg in every direction ; and,
as it is stated that one of them is known, we entertain a hope that
they will not be long permitted to escape the punishment due to
such deeds of blood.

PROM THE LEEDS INDEPENDENT.
Early on Friday night last an atrocious murder was
committed in the neighbourhood of Bedale, on the body
of a respectable farmer. The perpetrators of this dia-
bolical act remain as yet undiscovered. It appears that
two men, who wore blue coats, passed in the direction
of Boroughbridge, through a toll-bar, cal!ed Butcher
House. bar, on the Leeming-lane road, about five o'clock
on Saturday morning. It has since been ascertained,
that on the same day two men with blue coats, and
trowsets full at the top, were seen at Boroughbridge,
where, at a coach-office, they were inquiring for the
earliest conveyance to Leeds. They took no places,
bet went by the Pilot coach. One man was taller than
his companion. On the Friday, three men of suspicious
appearance had been seen together in the vicinity of
the place where the foul deed was perpetrated, and had
been very insolent to the inhabitants of some farm-
houses; it is supposed that if the murder were com-
mined by this party, one of them might have departed
for Leeds by one of thecoaches on theLeeming-lane road.
It is believed that the unfortunate man, at the time
he was murdered. had some money upon his person.
Friday he had received at the Leyburn Bank a bill for
twenty-six pounds, dated London, March 9, and drawn
by Hegar and Co. upon J. and A. Vincent, Little St.
Thomas Apoltle, London; and in addition to this, it is
thought that he was possessed of some of the notes of
either the Richmond or Leyburn Bank of Messrs. Hut-
ton, Other, and Cr.

The e Rev. T. W. Morley, of Kirklington, near Bo-
roughbridge, York, has inert most active in his endea-
vours to find out the wretches who have been guilty of
this murder. The Mayor of this Borough received in-
formation of the affair on Sunday, since which time,
Mr. Read, our Chief Constable, has been diligent in his
search after the villains. It seems that two men did
arrive in Leeds on Saturday night by the Pilot Coach,
but they departed without exciting any suspicions as to
their chiracter.

Livenrool., MA* 24.—Our Cotton market has been
very steady in prices, with a good demand ; and about
8,000 hales sold up to the evening. Plantation produce
is dull and heavy.
The ugenerous Frenchman," mentioned in a former
Paper,, as having relieved a poor debtor confined in Lan-
caster Castle, is believed to be Count MONTHOLON, who,
with his lady, passel through Manchester some days ago.
The Act for building a New Prison instead of the
present Bridewell in Tothill-fields, received the Royal
Assent a few days since. Its execution is to be con-
fided to twenty-five Commissioners, fifteen of them
Magistrates for Middlesex, and the other ten Justices
of Westminster.
The Irish Emigrants brought into Plymouth a few
weeks since in the Brailsford, bound to New Bruns-
wick, have been supplied with such quantities of provi-
sions as were required to complete the voyage, at the
Tole expence of Mr. THOMAS Poe; the owner of the
Brailsford, who was not bound by his contract to fur-
-1
nigh more than fuel and water. Other donations, among
which were a contribution of one day's pay from the
officers and men of the MI Regiment in Plymouth gar-
rison, and a subscription raised at the Roman Catholic
Chapel at Stonehouse, were distributed in medicine and
additional comforts for those on board, who are thus
by the generosity of Englishmen placed in situation
Much More desirable than when they originally left their
homes. The Brailsford has sailed fbr her destination.
The East India Company's old territory, commonly'
known in Europe by the name of Bengal, occupying the
space of 162,000 square British Miles, contained MI
1820, thirty-nine millions six hundred and seventy-nine
thousand souls, exhibiting a denser population than auyl
equal portion of the globe, China not excepted.
Walking sticks first began to be a requisite appen-
dage to the gentlemen of fashion aboot the year 1655,
at which time they were formed with an indented head,
in order to afford a More easy pressure of the hand
which they supported. Ingenuity, which in matters of
4stshion is for ever on the alert, now crowned them With
the addition of a round and hollow top, which some-
times contained nutmeg or ginger, to warm the stomach
of the valetudinarian, and sometimes sugar-candy for
the asthmatic; but snuff soon after coming jet° uni-
versil use among tie bon ton of society, the cavity was
exclusively appropriated to its reception ; and the meet-
ing of two friends was inv4riably marked, alter the first
salutation, by the unscrewing of the tops of their walk-
ing sticks.

POLICE. INTELLIGENCE•
MANSION HOUSE.
An information was laid on the Statute 6th Geo. IV. cap... 110.
sec. 27, against Hobert Shewan, Captain of the brig Diana, just an-
rived from the coast of Africa, with a valuable cargo.
The information was laid by the ownets, Messrs. Williamson-
and Watson, who attended with Mr. Cutterell, their Solicitor, to
support ft. The Captain also attended, accompanied by Mr.
Dobler, Jun. as his Solicitor.

Alderman LUCAS, who presided for the Lord Mager, after
having read the information,eequired the Captain to ilea&
The Captain said he was not guilty.
Mr. Holder, jun. stated that it would be but proper that the
Alderman should be informed how it happened that the Captaiia
appeared before hint. The ship was sent trona Liverpool to the
Isle de Loss, on the coast of Africa, lost year. Soon after her ar-
rival there the then Captain died, and afterhim the mate, and the
neat in command. No officer having been left in the .hip, applica-
tion was made by the consignee of the cargo to the Naval Qfficer in
command on that station, for the appointment of some person Ina.,
lifted to navigate her. The Commanding Officer had no person to
whom to entrust this important charge. The consignee of the
cargo was therefore obliged to select some person himself to under-
take the duty; and Captain Shewan being master of a coasting
vessel In that part of the world, was offered and accepted the com-
mand, and bi, name was endorsed on the Register in the regular
way. The Captain bad brought the ship to England, and on ar-
riving in London, he had reported her to the Custom-house, and
exhibited his papers and the register to the proper officer appointed
to ermine such document:, who, after having satisfied himself of
their corectueu, returned them to him. The Captain bad disbursed
considerable sums on account of the ship, having been obliged.
amongst other things, to take up some fresh hands to assist in nevi-
gatfilg her into the Thames, on account of the sickness of part of
the crew, and had tent hie account to the owner, and was ready ts:
verify it by the vouchers in his possession. The owners had offered
to refer the account to two brokers, to which proposition the
Captain had agreed, and he therefore considered himself entitled to
detain the register, until the matter should be settled.

After a long discussion, Alderman Lucas said, it appeared to him
that, according to the Act, there must be a " wilful' detention of
the register. Now that had not been shown, for the Captain had
complied with the law immediately en arriving in London by
going to the Custom-house, and exhibiting his Manifest and feegis—
ter to the proper Officer. He (Alderman Lucas) considered himself
bound to dismiss the information, and hr at the same time handed
the Register to the Captain, and directed him to be ready at all
times to produce it when required by a Custom-house (Meer.
We understand that the Captain was taken into custody two or
three days before this, on a warrant issued by the Lord Mayor,:
who, when the defendant came to the Mansion House, lase the
afternoon, with the officer, required him to shew him the Register.
His Lordship then Impounded the Register, and set the Captain at
liberty on his parole.

Mr. Montague, landlord of the Axe, in Grub•street, appeared, IS
closeequence of a large quantity of stolen property having beers
wiled in his house. The premises of Mr. Danby, bair-dregier,

Serjeant Spankie's silk gown, a heap of tails and curls of lawyers

Montague, accompanied by a man, had offered some of the brushes
for sale ; and Hawkins, the Marshalman, in consequence, went Iu•
search the premises, when a large portion of the stolen property was
discovered In a room.
Mr. Montague said, the room was wholly occupied by a lodgers
whom he admitted into the house Li fortnight ago, without making
any inquiry after his character. His lodger bad asked him where
he could sell a lot of brushes, and he had merely introduced Mine to
a person is that line. His lodger bad disappeared since the filer—
shaman's visit.

Sir Joint Piteasigo thought the publican's lack of curiosity, as to
his new customer's character, was a little singular; hot rill ate-
quitted him of all knowledge of the property being stolen, and
mused him.
Alr. Se:gnat Spantiie's gown, and another belonging to a bar-
rister, were ordered to be restored immediately, but the rest of the
property was retained for the present.
