which this unfortunate event took place. The Gen•
tleman called for a glars of brandy, and laid to the
Lady, " Come, come, do not be :dimmed ; there is
nobody here whom you need to care for feting you; do
walk out." The Lady at this time had the boat cover
round her (boulders, and perfed good humour teemed
to prevail between than. The witaefs underilond
from her hufband, that much about the fame time
thete was alto ar.other Gentleman and Lady, who
came in a boat. Mr. Hankinfon ferved this laft-
mentioned party himfslf, fo that the witnefs had not
an opportunity of feting them ; but the underltood
from her hufh.md, that fume high words had taken
place between that couple, as if they wete man and
wife (lux?! eiling. The witnefs's hnfband Hopped a
eonfidcrable while (crying them, which occafitined her
to afic him the caufe of the delay; and he raid the
man was a fcandaluus rafcal, and he Ihould not be
furprited were he to throw the Lady overboard.
This witnefs's evidence, therefore, went no further
than to (hew that the Gentleman and Lady whom the

other ; ancrthat the Lady had the cover of the boat
round her fhoulders, the prifoner having formerly
Rated the caufe of the Lady's afterwards Ailing ,ever
board, having been his riling to put his coat round her.
Mr. Godfrey, from whom the prifoner procured
the boat, faid, that he brought it back about eleven
o'clock at night. The prifoner was then extremely
wet, had no coat or hat upon him, and appeared to
be very much diftrefled on account of the cii cum.
(lance which had happened. The boat which the
prifoner got from the Deponent was about at feet
bog, aad was one which goes by the nante of a fusty,
about the fame breadth as a wherry, though nut
quite fo long. The prifoner laid, that the boat was
not overfet, but that the Lady fell out of it, when he
was putting his coat round her Ihouldera. 'Fhb cutbion
of the boat was miffing when it was brought back.
Mrs. Dellowell was next brought in as a prifoner,
the having been ordered to the Houfe of Corredion

concerned in this myfierious bufinefs. She was
afked when the lad raw Mr. Smith, the hatband of
the deceafed ? She raid. the hut not feen him fusee
the Thurfday following the day on which the accident
happened. She taw the prifoner on the Monday,
and be appeared to be much diftreffed.
Mrs. Painter produces a letter, which the (aid the
had received from the dectafed Mrs. Smith, which
was dated on the very day before the accident hap.
pened. This letter was written in a very friendly,
affecting, and confidential (tile. Mts. Smith had for-
merly complained to this witnefs of Mr. Smith's great
negled towards her, and how unhappy the was on
account of not knowing where he had gone for tome
confiderable time paR. In the letter the deceafed en. i
preffediter reluctance at making her &nation public,
and only wiffied to divulge her misfortunes to this
witaefs as a friend. She (Mrs. Sloth) meationed
in it that the had been one day at Gradefend, and
bad, by accident, ken her huffiand, who looked bet
full in the face. but did not (peak. He kallantly
pallid en. She faid, on that «cation her tongue and
limbs refuted their offices, and the was kind with a
violent Ihivering all over, like an ague. The prifo. '
nets endeavoured to perfuade her that Mr. Smith did
not fee her. With regard to the opinion the had of
the prifoners, the letter was peculiarly remarkable....
She keened dittatistled with her Striation. and slid
this fingular exprehlion, that probably the time was
not very dißant when they (the prifooen) would
be well knowd.
Here one of the Magißrates (topped the further

And loft in labyrinths of defpairf
Go, heart of flout, and join the fongs
Oa rugged rock, of favage throngs.

Young Mirth is their's; and loft-ey'd love
Finds in their heart a downy nett;

Does Death, the bold inmader, come
To force the tonal band away?

While cheerful nymphs, and generous fwaina,
Iteetrd their memory in their Brains!

FETE AT CALCUTTA.

We find by the Calcutta Newfpapers that the Molt
Noble the Gov►RWOR GENERAL gave a molt fplendid
entertainment in honour of the peace. Nothing could
exceed the magnificence of the ball, the fire-works,
&c. &c. We copy the account of the decorations of
the (upper table, which the genius of the GOVERNOR
FRAL, it appears, did not difdain to embellilb
with Latin infcriptions.
The molt remarkable olsells were a Galley bring-
ing the intelligence of the Peace ; a Frigate decorated
with Colours ; tome curious Egyptian Oklifks co-
vered with hieroglyphics; and a temple, emblemati-
cal of the Peace, and of the gallant exploits of our
Naval and Military Commanders during the late
War. The Temple confined of eight Corinthian
Pillars fupporting four Pediments, the whole crowned
by a light Dome. The Pediments were ornamented
with paintings—
Of the ailion off Cape SG Vincents, on the 14th
February, *798.
The Battle of the Nile, :ft Anvil, 1798.
The Storming Of Seringapatam, 4th May, 7799.

Oppofite the Southern Front of the Government

From the Temples of Valour and Fame. a chain of
Illuminations, tiling in pyramidical forms. 36 feet
in height, was continued to the Durrumtollah on the
left, and to Champaul Ghaut on the right, trolling
Ihe road to the Fort, from the corners of which it
extended to the creiL of the Clack, and apparently
connetted with the illumination ou the tamparts-and
the Calcutta Gate.

Oppofwe to each wing of the Government Houfe
were three lofty and illuminated arches, (the arch in
the centre riling fixty ket)crowaed with appropriate
ornaments.

Two traniparencies were ereeed oppofite to the
Eat! and Weft fronts of the Government Houfe.—
The tranfpareney on the EAR fide reprefented a battle;
Ls it a, in a wreath of laurel on the top ; on one
lido, the arms of General Lass ; on the other his

tannia fupporting the World, to which the has re-
flored PCACC."

Abarefque fcrolls of light conneaed the whole, in
one continued illumination, comprehending an extent
of near three miles.

In the centre of the Eiplanade, an liincloftanee
illumination, of variegated colours, reprefenting a
Temple of Fire, appeared about ten o'clock, and af-
forded a pleafing comma to the paler lights of the
furrounding illumination.

Yeßerday fe'nnight the barracks at Landguard•fort
took fire ; but by the timely exertions of the military
in the garrifon, alfilled by the Cambridge hire militia
encamped near thereto, and the inhabitants of the
place, it was happily extinguilhed in a vary (port
time, without doing any material damage. Adjoin-
ing the barracks was the magazine, containing 300
barrels of powder, carts idges, and various kinds of
combufliblc materials.

The fire which broke out ;t Montreal on the 6th
of July, as formerly mentioned, dcllroyed the jail,
college, Epifcopelian and Jefuit churches, and a
great number of private houfes. There was another
alarm of fire on the loth, which had broke out in a
fldble, but it was loon got under. In the hay loft
adjoining were difcovered two pieces of live
It is believed, that both were the work of French in•
cendiaries.

A fraud has lately been praaifed by fome paper-
makers in Yorkfhire, to the great injury of the reve•
nue by making the folding fheet, after it has received
the (tamp of the Excife Officer, prove a covering to
different bundles of paper. To accomplifh this, the
Ihripkteper, on breaking open the bundle, is prevail.
ed upon to return the cover, and thus, by his un-
warinefs, is brought into a predicament dangerous
to his credit. A feizure of different forts of paper,
in wrappers of this defcription, has lately been made
in feveral fhops at Wetherby and Tadeafter.
On Thurfday fe'nnight the Isancalhire Affixes

ASSASSINATION Or THII J[T►OVR RAJAN.—.-The
late overland difpaches from India announce the al-
faffination of the Jeypour Rajah, by a Prieft,who had
ingratiated himfelf with the Prince. Under pretence
of having fome important communication to make
refpeditig the defigns of the Mahratta Chiefs, he was
admitted into a private chamber of the palace, when
he Ilabbed the Rajah to the heart, and, leaping from
a high window, efcaped into the jungles. The murder
was not difcovered for fome hours, when the affaffin
was purfued and taken. He was immediately put to
the torture, for thepurpofe of extorting confelfion as
to his abettors, but he remained obdurate : he was
afterwards tied to the foot of an elephant, and tram-
pled to death, when his head was cut off, and his
boJy fufpended by the heels from's tree on the road-
fide, between Arnee and Amajee.
The Jeypour Rajah was at the head ofa powerful
confederacy, and constantly involved in honilities
with the Mabrattas.

The King's Evil, which derived its name from the
faith in a royal piece of Weer, was a remedy which
