CANIBALIMNI.-Oil Wednesday:evening, ac Mae-
a:fur and John Yionovan (not relations) were drinking
a public-house on Saffron-hill, the latter, without
i')e smallest provocation, laid hold of the o.her's
r: use between his teeth, and bit it off. Ik was taken
to St. ltirtholomew's Hospital, where the wound was
dressed. Ile applied yesterday at Ilatton•garden
'ice for a vr,vrant against the offender, who has
.kiconded.

The troops about to proceed to Ceylon are to be
commanded by Colonel Shuldham. The force will
be much ,greater than w•e formerly mentioned,
amounting to 73 Officers and 3317 privates.

:ISmusolOrGß-cTREJT: rbbery of Marshal Beresferd.--Yes-
terdsy we should have said ir. this cue, that the prisoner (the
Marshal's valet) was committed. Ile was examined In the pri-
vate room, and it was understood from the Officers that he had
been discharged.
MaNsiots-Housa.--Vin Ethst3n, a labourer in the East India
Company's Warehouses, was charged with stealing a quantity
of tea.—lle was committed for trial.

Bow-,racer.—Yesterday Joseph Thomas Wakeman, a coal-
porter, was charged with biting off a portion of the tongue of a
youpg man, named Cotton. The complainant, with the utmost
difficulty, related, that a few evenings since he was sitting in the
George public-house, in Chiswick, when a quarrel took place
between him and an acquaintance of the prisoner, but it was
made up. A short time after, the prisoner came in, and renewed
the dispute; and the witness happening to make some severe re-
marks, the former seized him by the throat with both hands,
with so much violence as to force his tongue from his mouth,
and then bit a piece off with ►is teeth! The agony produced by
thit diabolical attack deprived him of his senses, and he was car-
ried home, almost suffocated with the blood Bowing from his
wound. The prisoner, exulting in this ferocious act, boasted
the following day, that " he had swallowed a piece of Cotton's
tongue!" The outrage excited the indignation of the neighbour-
hood, and several persons agreed to guarantee the expenses of a
prosecution. The prisoner, who is a man of the molt savage
temper, stands at least six feet high, is of proportionate bulk,
and has long been a pest and terror to the neighbourhood. lie
bad beaten Cotton several times before, and repeatedly threat-
enecisto "do for Trim." The latter is a dwarf, when compared
wit% the prisoner. Wakeman, in answer to the charge, denied
having bitten the complainant, and said the wound was caused
by a blow, which he owned he gave him in the face, with his
whole strength. A certificate from a Surgeon stated, that from
the nature of the wound it could not have been inflicted by the
complainant himself. Mr. Blame said he knew not how to ex-
press his horror at the savage brutality of the defendant; and at
the request of the complainant's mother, he ordered him to give
bail.—The prisoner, while at the bar, gave proofs of his savage
disposition, by cur sing, blaspheming, and stamping with rage.—
The persons present expressed their indignation, and he retired
amid groans and hisses.
C(OIONER'S luoursr. An Inquest was held yesterday at the
White Swan, Rosemary-lane, on tile body of Stephen Yates,
an old man of most penurious habits, who was found dead in
his apartments iu Shorter's tents the preceding day. The de-
ceased formerly worked at his trade as a cooper, and had amassed
a ccr.siderable ,urn of money: be, however, latterly was in the
habit of begging about the streets, and appeared in such a
wretched and pitiable plight, that charitable persons would often
give I...src money. About six weeks ago he came home and went
to hi, apartments, and was not observed to leave it since. The
landlady of the house at length had the door of his room broke
open, and found the place in a most disgusting sitoation—in one
part was piled a quantity of wet and dirty paper, rags, bones,
and stinking meat; and in the rest nothing but filth. A poor
woman was hired to clean the room, and, on removing the
above mass of filth, found the dead body under it, in a condi-
tion not to be described. The Jury, on their return from view-
ing the corpse, were sick from the nauseous appearance and
smell. Verdict—" four.d dead, but how deceased came by
his death, it is impossible for us to say !.'

accredited Minister, residing wider the parte faith
of a treaty at his Highness's Court. He kept up his
solemn protestation of devoted friendship till the
very hour of the attack on the Residency. His vil-
lainous efforts failed, his courage deserted him, he
threw himself on our mercy, he was continued on
the Musnud, and every reverence was paid to him,
till we detected him in a new conspiracy. 'Then the
simplest principles of self preservation demanded his
removal from the throne.
