ASSASSINA7I3N OF LrELL,True. KING'S

MESSENGER, 41 AM-DRID.

The deathoof Mr. Lyell (not Lisle, as generally
stated), at Madrid, we regret to state, is fully con-
firmed by official accounts from Mr. Vaughan, Bri-
tish Envoy at the Spanish capital, to the Government
at home, and also by letters from an English Gentle-
man at Madrid to Mr. LyeiPs family at Pimlico
Mr. Lyell, it appears, was in the daily habit of walk-
ing in the Itetiro from 10 o'clock id the morning till,
two o'clock in the a,ternoon, at which hour he g-ne-
rally dined in company with a countryman, with
whom he had contracted an intimacy of friendship.
Oa the 21st of July, Mr. Lyell failed to retort'
to dinner at the usual hour, and his friend waited
its vain his coming home during the whole of
that night. Next morning he communicned the
absence of Mr. Lyell to Mr. Vaughan, who c:tused
diligent inquiry to he made for him. In the
course of the inquiry it transpired that an English.
man found murdered in the Itetiro had been taken
to the hospital to be owned : at this place he
was rtcogitized by his friend, who, on examining the
body, found on it seven distinct stabs, given by some
triengulsr instrument such as a bayonet or a tuck
which is generally carried in a eatie or stick. On
application of Mr. Vaughan, the Spanish Grvern-
mtnt made every endeavour, through the means of
the Police, to trace the assassins, and the cause of the
murder, List as far as is yet kuilwn 4withuut effect.
Mr. Lyell, when found, had on him Spanish money
to the amount of about 430, which he had received
[tom Mr. Vaughan on the day previous. One ac-
count says, that he is supposed to have ignorantly
entered a walk frequented by had characters, and
was, perhaps, suspected to have been a spy among
them. • Ile is said to have ly•en a man of singularly
mild and (pie the last maa to plunge into
a rim or disturbance.- He was forimrly in tine family
of Lord Catlicei t.

Yesterday morning Mr. HERBERT, landlord of the
Crab Tree public-house, in Fulhatn-fields, was found
dead in his bed, to which be had retired in perfect
heal:h the preceding night.
The ingenious author of Rhoda has lately produced.
a little Tract, which will be read with much advan-
tage by.all classes, and particularly by the Fashion-
able World. It-is entitled, • Every Day Chrirtiaaity.'
Gknarvoa.—lt appears from the explanatory Pre-
face suhpined to the new Edition of this interesting
production, that the most erroneous impressicins have
prevailed in the minds of ceitain persons respecting it.
I'he Author seems particularly desirous of correcting
the misrepresentations regarding the character Of
Lady MAIWARRT BUCHANAN, which has been attri-
buted to one to whom most assuredly neither in man-
ner nor in mind it bears the least resemblance.
' WeJnesday evening a wine-cooper, residing in
Little Shire-lane, was drinking with some friends at
a public-house in Hungerford-street, Strand, until
he was in a state of inebriety, and was advised to go
home, when one of his friends accompanied him
but on their going through George-court, he insisted
his friend should walk before him, which the other

accordingly did. There were several persons stand.
ing in the gateway from the rain, one of whom, from
some cause unknown, knocked him down. He ei-
claimed murder, and his friend, on looking back, saw
him weltering in blisod, but could not tell the cause
of it. He was carried is a senseless state into the nest
public-house, and surgical assistance was procured.
Amonglit the persons who went with him was the man
who is buppoard to have struck him, but on being re•
coshiacd. he went out on pretence of calling a coach,
.to taste home the wounded man, but has not bean
heard of since. A coach, however, was procured,
and he was conveyed home to his residence, where
the languished until nest day, when be expired.
