The Regiment musters 400 strong, chiefly composed

ness of veterans. The Noble Marquis complimented
Major Sir JOHN Horn, Bait. on the high state of dis-
cipline and general appointments of the corps. After

G .1 1. ORDER.
" 11,A.sc Guards, July S, Isl2o.
The Commander-in-Chief has had occasion to notice the ir-
regular practice adopted, in several instairtees, by the Officers of
the Army, of wearing plain clothes at their Regimental Quar-
ters : aall this irregularity havidt caused a seriou, obstruction to
discipline pimp a particular and rec.mt occasion in a" Regiment
of Cavalry, stationed in the North of England, his Royal High-
neis deems it essential to enjoin Officers commanding Districts
and Regiments, to take special care, that no Officers-under their
-command shall appear nt their quarters without their uni-
fotm.—py command of his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chief. (Signed) " li. TORRIZNS, Adjutant-Gen."

ness's mouth with his foot. itness knew the- vbWe
to be Pickersgill's: witness lay still, bleeding copi-
ously from his mouth and head. The prisoner then
took from him his purse, containing 16s. Witness
was, at that time turned on his face, and the prisoner
held Ms knee on the.back of his neck, pressing his
mouth to the ground. The prisoner next took two
small keys out of: witness's pocket, and went away,
Witness, feeling unableto rise, called for help. Tile
prisoner returned, and said—" I)—n thee, thou art.
not quiet yet ; but if I have not given thee enough, I
will do." He then kicked him severely on the other
side of the head, on the tits, and in a particular part
of his body. He then took from his inside-waistcoat
pocket a pocket-booki-containing a £1 note and me-
morandems. Witness said—" Thou bast got my
money; let me --die quietly." The prisoner gave a
coarse answer. The witness became insensible.
Cross-examined by Mr. HARDY.—He had no re-
collection of saying it was a man of the name of
Barker, or that three men had robbed him. He did
not know who carried him home, or what he said to
them. It was a cloudy evening. He had not taken
much liquor, so as to be incapable of doing. business.
Mary Norton overtook Squire Ramsden on the
night of the sth of May, and had passed the prisoner
just before. The prisoner was about 100 yards be-
hind Ramsden. A few minutes after pissing Rams-.
den,—she heard him call out "'Murdif !" She ran
with her shoes off towards him, and heard a voice
say, " Old rogue, wilt thou cry out?" She thought
it was Pickersgill's voice: she knew him by working
at the same pit. She ran to the pit for assistance.
Two men came with her. They found Ramsden on
his knees. He appeared insensible, and was carried
home. Pickercg,ill came to the pit that night, and
she saw something like blood upon his stocking.
[This the witness at last stated, after much hesita-
tion.] Ile was taken into custody about an hour
and a half afterwards. When. Ramsden's sons came,
Pickersgill wanted to go out of the cabin, at the pit's
mouth. Young Squire Ramsden pointed out the
blood on his stocking. Pickersgill said it had been
done by touching meat.
By Mr. HARDY.— Vi.lien she first gave the alarm,
she said that Joseph Pickersgill was murdering Squire
Ramsden. She had said to a woman that she was
sorry she had mentioaed Pickersgill, for it would
bring her into trouble. •
Other witnesses, Who came up to the prosecutor,
and carried him home, deposed to the situation in
which they found him, and to Pickersgill's having
given different and contradictory accounts of the
blood on his stocking. They saw him throw away
a purse and a pocket-book. The keys were found in
his pocket.
The property was identified by theeprosecutor.—
The prisoner said nothing in his defence.
Joseph Wilby, one of the men who first came up
to Ran.sden, said that he described a person of the
name of Barker as the robber.
Mary Spatting said she heard Ramsden tell his
son-in-law that three men attacked him, and he beat
off two of them. Mary Noi ton had told her she did
not know who the man was that robbed liamsden.
By Mr. Atnnsoal.—She had worked with the
prisoner 14. years, and he paid her wagei. Ramsden
did not seem much hurt. He was able to walk if
two men had hold of him.
Justice PARK ordered this witness to be detained.
The Jury at once found a verdict of—Guilty.
Mr. Justice PARK s:Jmonished Mary Spatting upon
the sacred and awful obligation of an oath. From
the evidence she gave, and the manner in which she
gave it, there could be no doubt she had committed
perjury. li. might detain her, and order her to be
prosecuted; but in hopes that she would that very
night drop down on her knees, repent of her great
wickedness, learn to fear the awful name of GOD, and
never take it in vain, or with a lie in her mouth or
her heart, he let her go.
No sentence was pronounced on Pickersgill.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—During the thunder-storm on Wtdncs-
' day afternoon, about four o'clock,while the workmen at Thorn-
cliffe Iron Works, near Sheffield, were einployed in main: a
large shaft, about five tons weight, it suddenly eiploded, by
which six persons lost their lives, and several others were an
severely burnt that their lives are despaired of.. All the ma-
nning partners were present : three of them providentially
escaped •by flight; the other (Mr. ISAAC Nrwrox, jun.) hav-
ing the Misfortune to fall, in attempting to retreat, was so se-
verely injured, that he expired It ten o'clock next morning, in
the most excruciating agony. As no other cause can be assigned,
it is conjectured that the lightning was attracted by the sel-
phttreous stream ascending from the casting.—Prompt assistance
was procured, and everything done which humanity could sug-
gest, for the relief of the sufferers.—Ph:llield .Ifrrou;o.

SAGACITY OF A LANCASHIRE JURY OF ixa EIGHTIMITH CFR-
mar !—Twelve men were lately summoned 14 a Coroner to held
an Inquest upon the body of a man who had met with a prema-
ture death at an obscure village In Lancashire. Eleven of them
having assembled previously to the Coroner's arrival, one of the
party sagaciously started an objection as to the practicability of
their performing the task assigned them, viz. to sit upon the body ;
when it was unanimously resolved to try the experiment, and
they all endeavoured to seat themselves. After this very extra-
ordinary exertion, one of the sapient party went to the 0 Keen-
/ler" to inform him what the eleven had donei and on seeing him
he exclaimed, " It canna be done, hlaister Ralph-! it canna be
done !it canna be done!" " What canna be done?" inquired
the Coroner with astonishment—" Why," rejoined he, " the
whole of us, after thutching and thruching till we've welly brusten
the belly, can hardly find room upon it, so where will you put
t'uther when he comes?" The Coroner, however, went to the
spot, and on the arrival of the twelfth Juryman explained the
nature of their duty, when they returned a verdict of " Acciden-
tal Death!"

About lux o clock on Sunday afternoon, as two Ladies and a
child were driving along the New-road, in a single-horse chaise,
from the end of Tottenham Court-road towards Battle-bridge,
the horse, taking fright at something, set of at full speed, and
the Lady who had the management of the bridle was so alarmed
that she dropped the reins. Several persons attempted to stop
the horse, which only caused him to redouble his speed. The
bar at the turnpike between the end of Tottenham Court-toad
and Upper Gower-street being shut, the horse ran against it
with such force that it snapped in two, and the horse turned
into the yard in hunt of Messrs. Boom, and Youso's marble
mandatory, where the horse in attempting to leap over the
kap pallbades in front of the building, alighted on the iron
spikes, which several inches into his chest. Atten-
cion wee adir darn the Ladies and child, who were for-
tunately extricated without sustaining any injury. The' chaise
was then taken from behind him, and the anima4 finding itself
diseupged front ks burden, kept plunging and Making in the
greatest &golly, which caused the spikes to enter deeper. At
length about ten feet of the paling gave way, and the horse fell
doves the area ; in its fall its bell 7 was ripped open, and its en-
trails were err:need with image. .Upwards of £lOO worth of
tnalthreitbs were broken or dawned. The hese was worth CVO.
