SIR SAMUEL RO4ILLY.

Melancholy is the duty which is this day imposed
upoO us of communicating to the public an event
which will fill with sorrow every part not only of thi,
kingdom, but of the enlightened world, wh .t just
reverence for the cause of civil and religious liberty
rendered its most distinguished Advocate dear to the
hearts of the liberal and humane. Sir SAMUEL Ito-
MILLE, distracted by the death of his most amiable
and beloved wife, has sunk under the severe visita-
tion of PROVIDENCE. The feelings of Sir &muses
friends on so afflicting an occasion have for a while
prompted them to stop all the avenues of inquiry, so
that we have at present but few of the particulars to
communicate beyond the fact of his death, and the
manner of it. It is already known that Lady Ro-
mtlxv died on Thursday, at the house of Mr. NASU,
in the Isle of Wight, after an illness of nearly twelve
months, during which, however, there were intervals
of convalescence.

Sir SAMUEt had suffered the most heart-rending
agitation for some weeks, during which he was without
the refreshment of natural sleep, when all the delu-
sive hopes he had entertained of her recovery were
withdrawn, by the visible approaches of the fatal
moment. The agony of his sufferings occasioned
the most alarming apprehensions to his friends ; and
his nephew, Dr. ROGET, the Rev. Mr. Dumos:-r, and
Mrs. NASH, as well as his own family, attended him
with the most anxious solicitude. The event was not

' communicated to him till Friday morning, and it
was thought proper to remove him from the scene
the same day. He was brought to London by easy
journies, where he arrived on Saturday. His fever
was most excruciating—but he manifested the most
exemplary fortitude to conquer the despair which
assailed him. "My head," he exclaimed, "is a fur-
nace—l feel the violence of my disease—l may sink
under it—my excellent nephew is exhausted—pray
call to his aid Dr. MARCET."
Both Dr. MARCET and Dr. BAaTNCTON did attend
him, and in the course of Sunday and of Sunday
night a favourable perspiration gave the Physicians
hopes that fever would abate. But, alas! in a
paroxysm he desired his amiable daughter, who had
been left in the room with him, to call Dr. RoGEr,
and on her departure, it appears, that he suddenly
quitted his bed, and in the delirium of his grief put

an end to his existence. In one minute Dr. Boner
entered, and found him weltering in his blood-!. Ile
was in his sixtieth year.
Deeply do we regret that a life which was so use.
ful to his fellow-creatures and his countrymen should
have been terminated by an act which is calculated
above all others to excite their horror. Distressing
is it to think that so great a man should have been;
exemplary in every thing but his death ; and that
whilst in the ordinary dispensations of PROVIDENCE
it is more blessed " to give than to receive ;" whilst, I
in the common course of human action, the exertions
of benevolence reflect a purer satisfaction on those
who make, than on those who are benefited by them ;
--another instance has occurred wherein the con-
sciousness of the sincerest patriotism; and of the most
ardent love of mankind, has not been able to secure
its possessor against the power of despair, under one
of the common calamities of life.
Sir SAMUEL ROSIILLY united in himself an assem-
blage of qualities rare and valuable in their separate
existence, but in their combined splendour calculated
to astonish by their variety, and to delight and im-
prove by their harmony and utility. Deeply versed
in the laws of his country, and long engaged in the
laborious exercise of their profession, he yet escaped
from the technical trammels which the practice of
the Bar is generally (perhaps unjustly) supposed to
create. To that practice he brought a mind richly
stored with the varied charms of extensive literature;
a persuasive eloquence, distinguished by elegance of
language and chastity of ornament—a dignified im-
pressive manner, where the disputant was never seen
to overcome the accomplished gentleman. In the
House of Commons, he ever appeared as the disin-
terested advocate of universal charity. His political
views were generous, manly, and extensive—too con-
sistent to be the result of party feeling, and too in-
dependent not to be cavilled at by the minions of
'power. But the proud simplicity of his character
was such, that even those who were systematically
opposed to him, could nut withhold from him their
esteem and veneration. lie must have been a most
indefatigable labourer, and, we believe, there are
many who, not being inflamed by the spark of am-
bition, would look upon his sir ealth and honours ab
dearly purchased by the sacrifices of health and or-
dinary enjoyments which he made to obtain them.—
We hove found him in the Court of Chancery be-
tween nine and ten o'clock ; there he has remained
until four. We have again seen him at five o'clock
in his place in the House of Commons ; have heard
him, after a laborious day's occupation in Chancery;
speak with force and eloquence to an attentive ad-
miring House ; and on interesting questions he al-
ways waited the division, no matter at what hour it
might take place in the morning. He was always
well prepared on every subject, whether in the Courts
or the Legislature ; and when it is 'considered that
his business far exceeded that of any other man at
• the Bar, we may form some faint idea of the inten-
sity of his private studies. The City of Westminster.
showed how •Lighly it estimated his character, for
amidst this great population, divided by patty feel.

• Rifle Brigade for SA( mcliire.
Came in early this morning, several transports,
with the 7th (Royal Fusileers), 23d (Royal Welch
Fusileers), and 43d (Light Infantry) Regiments, from
Calais, the whole of which will remain here this night.

The 45th Regiment, at present stationed in Ire-
land, are to be immediately ordered to the Island
of Ceylon.
The 95th regiment, which is to be disbanded in
the course of a few days, at Sunderland, musters
above 800 rank and file.

Winchester Barracks are now preparing for the re-
ception of troops, which are expected shortly to ar-
rive there. The depots of the 4th and .9th Regiments
are on their march from Canterbury, and will arrive
in Winchester garrison on Wednesday. The depot
of the 9th is also on its march, and will arrive about
the same time. They will shortly be joined by their
respective Regiments.
Lieutenant Colonel NORTHEY, permanent Assis-
tant Quarter :Master General, succeeds Lieutenant-
Colonel Sir JER EM I All DixoN, at Portsmouth, as As-
sistant Quarter-Master General of the Smith-West
District.—The Barracks at Fort Cumberland and
Gosport are prepared for 1000 men and 900 respec-
tively, supposed to be ready to receive such troops
as may Land there from France on their way to their
future destinations. The 39th Foot will arrive at
Hilsea Barracks on Wednesday. It is understood
that the 18th Foot at Gosport, and the '2sth at Hil-
' sea, will shortly embark for Ireland.—lt is said the
21st Royal North British Fuzileers, under the com-
mand of Colonel NooTii, C. B. will embark from
Portsmouth for the %Vest Indies ;—they will be re-
placed by the 39th Reg; inert

Friday se'nnight the Selkirkshire Yeomanry Ca-
valry, tinder the command of Captain BALLANTYNE
of l'haap, were reviewed and inspected by Mr
I'RINGLE of Torwoodiee, who expressed his warmest
approbation at the excellent manner in which they
went through the different manoeuvres and evolu-
tions, as well as at the fine condition of their equip-
ments. On the day following, the Troop had the ho-
nour of dining with the celebrated Mr. SCOTT, who,
on that occasion, opened the eating-room of his new
mansion house, at Abbotsford. The Poet, who has so
strikingly displayed the banquets and festal rejoicings
of our ancestors, could not fail in imparting every
joyous feeling to his guests. At noon, the troop was
seen descending the road which leads to Abbotsford,
with trumpets sounding, and banners waving ; the
banners being carried by WALTER SCOTT, younger
of Abbotsford, the son of their host. They were re-
ceived by Mr. SCOTT El fiont of the house, the Ladies
of his family, with their fair visitors, " keeping their
state" on the summit of one of the turrets, and that
good old retainer of the ancient Scottish chivalry,
the piper, holding his proud station beside them, and
making the welkin ring with his sounds. The Troop
then defiled to the plain (Scottice, Haugh) at the
back of the house, where they went through a va-
riety of manoeuvres, in the presence of Mr. SCOTT and
his friends.—They were then dismissed from parade,
their horses being established in the ample accommo-
dations in and round Abbotsford. About four o'clock,
the trumpets blew the genial call to table, and the
military summons being sanctioned by the peaceful
invitation of the dinner bell, the Troop poured into
the banqueting-room, where they found an excellent
and substantial repast awaiting them, nut brown
ale, and precious brown-stout, reaming in horns and
bickers, wine sparkling in the decanters, and veri-
table champaigne, " brewed in the Highlands,"
duly awaiting its call on the side-board. In the
course of the evening; a succession of spirit-stirring
toasts, delivered by their host, with many excellent
songs and glees, kept the company in a roar of hila-
rity ; the bagpipes, ever and anon, lending their
thrilling aid to the festivity, till the strains of their
illustrious host himself might be called to describe
their feelings—

--- Shout the riders every one,
Such day of mirth neer cheer'd their clan,
Since old Bucclimgh the name did pia,
When in the c:eugh the buck was ta'en!
At a late hour in the evening, but long before the
period when their prolonged mirth would have been
unbecoming and irreverend (oar Readers will re-
member it was Saturday evening), the trumpet blew
to horse, and the military guest-, only lingering to
sing " Weel may we a' be, quitted the hospitable,
mansion of their entertainer, and were speedily drawn
up in front of the house, waiting the unwelcome sound
of--" To the left—by tiles—forward—Ma-a-rch !"
This inevitable command was at length given, and
with three enthusiastic cheers, the Troop took their
departure.

Another atrocious murder has been committed in
Glasgow. While one murderer is under sentence of
death there, and anothcr case is under examination
before the local authorities: an old woman, in com-
plete dotage, has been cruelly deprived of her life.—
This woman, Mrs. Cm:IIRA Nt, above 70 years of age,
lived in the Tontine-close, and gained a livelihood
by keeping lodgers. Friday morning, 4bottt one
o clock, her inmates coming home, were unable to
gain admission to the house. After one of her sons
had been brought to the spot, the door was forced
open, when the poor woman was found lying, with
her hands bound with tape, a lifeless corpse. This
son immediately directed the Officers of Police to a
house in King-street, where they took his brother,
along with two•women, into custody. The woman
appeared to have died in consequence of blows in-
flicted on the back of her head. One of the women
in custody is alleged to have, in the course of Thurs-
day, used threatening lar.guage towards the deceased;
and when apprehended, it was discovered that a piece
of tape was awanting from her dress, while that part
which rzmair.ed, being a strir.g on the one side of her
petticoat, was of a similar description, being exactly
the same in texture and length with the piece found
on the hands of the deceased. Saturday morning,
on a farther search of the poor woman s house, a
hatchet, m 1::ch is said not to have belonged to her,
was discovered.

ATli' STREET ACT.

A RGl'l.l.-ROOMS.

Yesterday a Juty was impannelled before the Dc-
Iltort-BAILIFF, at the• Guildhall, Westminster,
to assess the damages claimed by Mr. SLADE, the
Proprietor of the Argyll Rooms, as compensation for
the loss of those Rooms, part of *v.-Sich are to be re-
moved in order to continue the haft of the new Street.

Mr. Serjeant IlEsr stated the case to the Jury.—
The claims, he said, which Mr. Slade made against
the Commissioners of the new Street, were under
three heads:—first, for the value of the freehold pro-
perty, which would be proved to be worth £1,150
a-year, which, at seventeen years' purchase, would
amount to 1:19,550 ; next, three years' profit of the
Rooms, in consequence of the loss of his business,
consequent upon a removal; the average profits of
the Rooms amounted to £2,500 a-year, which, for
three years, was £7,500. The third head of claim was
for a loss of £2,500 upon a sale of wardrobes, &c.
The Learned Serjeant then dwelt upon the loss'which
the claimant was likely to sustain by the removal'
from his present situation, and the great difficulty he
would find in procuring a similar one in a place
where it could be advantageous to him.
The following evidence was then called in support
of the claim :

Mr. John White, a Surveyor, had seen the premi-
ses, and valued them on the 18th of August last.
They were most conveniently situated, and elegantly
lined up as Assembly Rooms, and were occasionally
used for the performance of French plays. The free-
hold property in the Rooms he valued at £18,650.
Besides the Rooms, there was a cellar and offices,
which were let at £5O a-year, and also two coach-
houses and stable, which would bring in a rent Of
from £5O to £6O a-year. He thought two seasons
would be lost before such Rooms could be fitted up
in another place. Colonel Greville, who had them
before Mr. Slade, expended a great deal of money
upon them.
Mr. Squibb had examined the Rooms, and the of-
fices adjoining to them. It would, according to his
judgment, be very difficult to Procure such a situa-
tion in any other convenient place ; and it would con-
sume at least two seasons before they could be built
and fitted up. The Rooms he valued at £l,OOO
a-year, the stable and coach•house at €lOO a-year,
and the other offices and cellar at £5O per year. The
whole value he believed to be £19,550. Mr. Slade's
removal, would, he conceived, be the entire annihi-
lation of his business. There was property on the
premises which was at present worth £5,000 to Mr.
Slade, but which he could not dispose of without a
loss of £2,866.

Mr. Dawson, a Surveyor, had examined the Rooms,
and estimated their total value at C19,5(X). The loss
'on some scenery and wardrobes would be very con-
siderable. Ile also spoke of the excellence of the si-
tuation, and the difficulty of procuring a similar one
in a convenient place.
Mr. Cresswell estimated the Rooms to be worth
£20,450, without including the good-will.
Mr. Henry Slade, jun. was in the habit of assisting
his father in the management of the Rooms. He was
acquainted with their profits. The net profits, after
deducting rents, were 0463 a year. In his cross-
,examination, he said that the sum received from the
Philharmonic Society was .C 174 a year.
Mr. Lequin, the conductor of the Assemblies, knew
the receipts. In 1817, they amounted to £.:3,r,08, and
in the present year to i.:3,2.91.
Mr. Ward also stated that the profits were very
considerable.

The Door-keeper and Money-taker was next called.
He stated that his receipts in money on some nights
exceeded £lOO, but besides this there were a great
number of tickets disposed of in several shops.
Mr. Slade, jun. again examined, stated, that the
shop-keepers who sold tickets were allowed Is. per
ticket. They got a guinea for the ticket, and paid
back £l. The lowest number of persons at the As-
eemblies was about 550, and they seldom exceeded .500.
The case of the claimant being here closed,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the Commissioners,
addressed the Jury, and contended, that the sum de-
manded by Mr. Slade was most exorbitant. He went
on to chew that the injury, if any to the claimant, by
the removal, would be very little, for only some of
the offices and a very small part of the orchestra,
would be touched. In fact, Mr. Slade could carry
on his Assemblies there when the New Street was
I finished as well as before. As to the time re-
quired for fitting new ItgeMS elsewhere, it would
not at most occupy more than nine months ; for it
should be remembered, that Covent-Garden Theatre
was built in less than one year.
He then called Mr. Thompson, a surveyor, who
stated, that he was employed by the Commissioners
Ito examine the Rooms. They were made Assembly
Rooms about 15 years ago; Mr. Slade bought them
afterwards from Colonel Greville, but witness did,
not know what he gave for them. In 1803 or 1804
they. were offered to him for £3500. After the pass-
ing of the New Street Act, he spoke to Mr. Slade on
the subject of the Rooms, and in consequence cf'
what then passed the intended line of the street was
in some degree altered. Only a small part of the
premises were at present required : this consisted cf
the coach-house, stables, part of the counting-house,
and a roem which was used as a dressing-roam. The
Assemblies would, in his opinion, be carried on there
after these were removed.
In his cross-examination lie said, that the intended
alteration would make the orchestra near the street,
which would not be so advantageous, as it would be
exposed to the noise of the carriages. In the subse-
quent part of his cross-examination, which was very
long, he spoke of several conferences and verbal
communicatians Which had passed with Mr. Slade
on the subject before. Ile also said that Colonel
Greville and Mr. Slade had expended several thou-
sand pounds on the Rooms.
Mr. Lethbridge, the machinist at Drury-lane Thea-
tre, stated, that the inconvenience of the orchestra
being near the street could be remedied, by having
two walls with a space between them, which, when
filled up with saw-dust, wool, horsehair, or woollen
cloth, would prevent the sound from without ; and
when a boarded partition was raised inside, the effect
of the music would not be diminished within. He
added, that the building of new rooms would not
occupy more than nine months.
Mr. Ayrton, ono of the Managers of the Philhar-
rlionic Svci-ty, gave it as his asst the As-

sernitl:es calla he held at the ]looms after the pro-
posed alterations. The new street, he considered,
would be ali advantage to them.

£14,610.

The case for the Commissioners being closed,
Mr. Serjeant BEST, in reply, contended, that his
client bad a right, by the Act of Parliament, to make
the Commissioners take the whole of his premises,
though perhaps only a part of them was wanted. He
also maintained that the sum demanded was only a
fair compensation for the loss Mr. Slide would sustain.
The DEPUTY Fival BAILIFF summed up the evi-
dence, and the Jury, after half ar. Lour's de:ibera-
tion, returned a verdict for the Cliirnant—Cant-
pensation
