THE RECENT ABDUCTION.

William Wakefield, the brother of Edward Gibboo
Wdkefild, and one of the parties charged with the ab-
duction of Miss Turner, arrived in-custody of a peace
°dicer in London yesterday morning, from Dover,
where he was apprehended immediately on his arrival
from France.
It appears that information had been formally lodged on oath
before the Magistrates of Lancaster against all the parties accused,
and they in consequence issued their warrants for their apprehen-
sion. Monday these warrants arrived in London, and were en.
dorsed Ity Sir It. Birnie, who is in the commission of the peace for
Kent, and transmuted to Dover, where Taunton, the officer, was
waiting to receive and execute them, if opportunity should serve.
Taunton bad left Paris some dap, having conceived a notion that if
he left France, the parties would be likely to return to England. A
hint indeed had been given, that pressing business rendered the
presence of one or two of them here necessary. Tuesday,. Mr.
NVakefirld, junior, landed at Dover, and was taken into custody by
Taunton upon a warrant, in which he stool charged with aiding and
abetting in the abduction of Miss Turner.

We understand that Mr. William Wakefield was sent off for
Lancaster yestetday afternoon, in the custody of Barrett, a coo-
"cable of Macclesfield, who was with Taunton at Dover, and who
brought the warrants from the former place. Taunton remains at
Dover. It is c.infidently eipected that Edward Gibbon Wakefield
and his valet, Thevenot, will be iu custody very shortly.

TO TILE WORTHY AND INDEFIINDENT.•LIVERY
OF TILE CITY OF LONDON.

• Guits,intax,
IT is
under the influence of the deepest feeling, that
I acquaint you with my intention not to present myself as a
Candidate for the Representation of the City of London iu Par-
liament, at the ensuing Election.
Bearing in mind, as I must always most gratefully do, the nat-
tering circumstances under which I was first int used to offer
myself for your choice, as well as the kindness and confidence I
base ever since experienced at your hands, and having every reason
to believe in the continuance of your favour, it has required the
strongest motives to make me decline soliciting to be replaced in
the honourable situation to which you elevated me; but I find its
arduous duties beyond my present strength, and entirely incom-
patible with the attention to my commercial pursuits which I con-
sider due to my family.

However inadequate my abilities may have proved, to the
opinion' your partiality prompted you to form of them, I trust I
may still claim your approbation as far u regards an honest and
anxious discharge of the trust reposed in the; and that I may be
allowed the conviction, that ea no °tuna* have I treated with in-
difference or disrespect the interests, wishes, or commands of any
one of my constituents.

I cannot conclude, without again expressing my warmest thanks
for the repeated marks of favour conferred epon me, and for the
indutgence with which you have always viewed my Parliamentary
conduct; and I hays the kronur to remain, with every sentiment
of respect and attachment,

Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and fahtul humble serum,

BOW-S

Samuel iredgbury, a well•known beat-baiter, dog-fighter, and rat-
killer, located in Ciree.i Dragon-yard, High Holborn, was brought,
to this ottice'on a charge of assaulting a broker, named Fox, v/bo
trades in Earl-strivt, Seven Dials.
Fox had been employed by the proprietor of the premises where
Wedg bury resides, and keeps his' bear, dogs, badger, /cc. to &strain
for rent, and took his follower with him ea Tuesday morning to
make the levy. Wedgbury seeing them approach, swore that they
should not enter his premises, his house was his castle, and he would
have no intruders. Fox and his follower laughed at his boasting,
and proceeded into the premises; but not a single article of furniture
was found on the ground floor, all the property having been removed
up stairs. They were aboot to ascend the stairs, when they heard
the growling of a huge bear,,within whose paws they had nearly ad-
vanced, before they were aware of their danger. Having no desire
for the embraces of this shaggy creature, they instantly retreated.
Wedgbury sal,t4l, if they did niat walk away, his dogs (amongst which
was Turk, which fought with the Lion Nero atWaivick), should be
let loose upon them; and if they offered to come up stairs, his bear
should give them such a gripe as they never would forget. Fox, who
was not deficient in cunning, determined to effect by artifice what
he dared not attempt to accomplish by force. lie knew that if he
could get Wedgbury to assault hint, though ever so slightly, he
Ebb') uld be able, with the aid of the police, to effect his caption, and
to take pass ,stun of the premises under his warrant of distress. He
induced Wedgbury to clewead several of the stairs, and them seised
hint by one of his legs; \Vedgbury, without any ceremony, kicked
him head over heels—and that was the assault complained of.
Stevens, the officer, who had the warrant to execute, found
the beat standing as a sentinel at the door, and six dogs were at
the top of the stairs ready to be let loose. Wedgbury that a
regiment of soldiers should not take him; but when the officer
threatened to shoot his bear, and to get assistance to destroy his
dogs, he surrendered.
Wedgbury said that he had paid the rent to the person of whom
he took the premises, and he had got the receipts. His landlord
was in prison for debt : and the original lessor had come upon hint
fur the rent ; and it was not his custom to pay twice.
The blioatsvaars said he had nothing to do with the question of
rent, an assault had been sworn to, and he must tiod bail.

The Imperial Court takes every opportunity of giving
the most flattering proofs of esteem to the Duke of

the Imperial family, and had the honour to sit by his
31.ijesty the Emperor. We hear that a tich service for

glasses front the warehouse of his masters.

Now CHURCllES.—Tuesday,his Grace the Archbishop
of YORK consecrated the New Church at Hanging Hea-
ton, in the parish of Dewsbury, which has been built
by his Majesty's Commissioners. The Church is in the
Gothic style, from designs by Mr. TAYLOR, architect,
of Leeds. The Church is without galleries, and con-
tains 600 sittings, 200 of which are free. The number
of persons assembled to witness this interesting cere-
mony, was considerable ; and although the Church and
the site were filled to an excess, great order prevailed.
Thursday afternoon the workmen employed in mak-
ing the road from the top of Edward-street, to Rot-
tingdean, near Brightl'elmstone, dug up the remains of
human skeleton. The under jaw was quite perfect,
with a fete set of teeth. Nearly twenty of' the:b stale-
tons have been discovered within the short distance of

100 yards; they lie so near the surface of the earth as
scarcely to have escaped the ploughshare. In all pro-
bability they are the slain 61 some battle in feudal times.
Several of the Morning and Evening Papers are giving
an " extra): dinary notice" of one Patrick M,Dallah, re-
specting, his runaway wife, which they assure us ap-
peared lately on the deor of a Roman Catholic Chapel in
the West of Ireland." If this is redly true, it is the most
permanent notice we ever heard of on a Church door,
for we perfectly recollect reading this very notice in the
newspapers twenty ) ears ago ; and it has since that run
the gauntlet of the public Journals some half dozen
times at least.

THE STEAM-BOAT COMET.

It is known that Duncan M4lanes, the Captain of ,
Comet, was tried and sentenceLto three months' imp:
sonmeni, for running down The steam boat Comet.
Application was, however, made for a suspension of tint
sentence, and the case came before the High Court of
Justiciary at Edinburgh, on Thursday last.
The Lotto Arivocivra stated, that he was about to
save the Court some treuble, by at once acknowledging
that he did consider the proceedings in this case fable
to an objection of a technical nature, as touching the
mode of making up the record, which would render it,
in his opinion, not fitting for the public prosecutor to
'insist for a maintenance of .the sentence against the
isrisoner.

proved of the candid conduct of the Lord Advticate.

into the cause and roister of the deatib of Byrne. the
bailiff, who had been shot in Phip gh, as
mentioned in a former Paper: Matrgorris, the maid.
servant of Captain Beggs; deposed, that on Saturday
morning she heard a shot fired, but was so frightened
she could not tell whether it was fired within or out-
side the house; before the shot was fired she heard a
noise, as if an attempt had'been made, or was making.
to break in the door ; saw her master after the *hat hal
been fired; he said nothing to her about it, only de-
sired her to get out of his way. Pat. Brennan depo,ed
that he was in company with Byrne; there was 'another
man along with them; the three were standing on the
stepv, when Captain Beggs appeared at-the window with
a gun in his hand ; Byrne had a pistol in his right hand,
and the warrant in his left ; be told Captain Beggs he
had authority to arrest him, so advised him to submit
quietly. At this time there were two men outside, one
of whom t'ok up a stone; Byrne piesented his pistol at
the man, and told him to go about his Easiness, that he
(Byrne) had authority for what he was doing; while
Byrne was in the act of holding his pistol at the ni 4te
Captain Beggs fired and shot Byrne; Byrne; on re-
ceivingihe shot, leaped up, and fell over the garden-

nan admitted that their companion presented a fouling

said that he had him covered, if he attempteitany re.

had viewed the body of the'deceased, almost imme-
diately after the fatal occurrence ; he examined the
person of the deceased, and found in one of his ()ticket
the warrant; a pistol was lying near him, and ap-
peared to have been snapped ; he also examined the
trees in the garden, and found on several the mar ks of
abut, corresponding with those with which the decea ed
had been shot. The Jury having deliberated for a con- ,

" That the deceased had been shot by Captain Beggs, 1
while attempting to force his way, with arms, into Cap-

LAUNCH OF AN INDIANAN.

Thursday a vessel of 1400 tons burthen, built by.
Messrs. Gordon, the ship builders of Deptford, was
launched from their yard at that place. The vessel, to
which the name of the " Susses" has been given, was
built by the above firm for `the East India Company,
for the purpose of replacing the 4, Kent," which was
MOW/ destroyed by fire in the Bay of Biscay, on her
outward.bound passage. The day was extremely pro-
pitious. and it being understood that his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sasses signified his intention of being
present on the occasion, an immense concourse of spec-
tators assembled to witness the ceremony. About half
past one o'olock, his Royal Highness, accompanied by
several Noblemen and Gentlemen, arrived, and they
were conducted by Mr. tioccion and otbers of the firm
to a temporary booth which was fitted up in exceedingly
neat style for their reception, from which they had a
distinct view of the vessel as she lay on the stocks pre-
paratory to her being committed to the bosom of the
waters. During the preparations going forward on
board by the workmen previous to her being launched,
a band belonging to the Royal Marines, which was
stationed near the booth occupied by his Royal High-
ness, enlivened the scene by playing several naval airs.
When all was in readiness. tke, Duke of Sussex ap.
Fondled the visors stern, and having flung a goblet of
wine on the quarter deck. the fastenings by which she
was held, were gradually slackened And ultimately let
go, when she glided off the stocks into the Thames. in
the most majestic style, amid the shouts of the specta-
tors, and the band striking up it Rule Britannia."—
From the excellent arrangements ,inade by Messrs.
Gordon, no accident whatever occurred, and a numerous
body of the police officers from Union Hall being in-at-
tendance, completely paralized the efforts of the thieves,
who always calculate upon reaping a harvest nts such
occasions.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

We have received American Papers to so late a dale
as the 25th ult. from which we extract the following
articles of intelligence from South America:
The Isle of Margarita had, by a violent movement,
unaccompanied however with bloodshed,,eparated itsel
from the department of Maturin, and incorporated
itself with that of Venezuela. Ries addressed a letter
to Rafael de Guebara, the leader of this little revolu-
tion, highly approving of his conduct on the. occasion.
On the 24th of August, Sir Robert Ker Porter, the
British Consul for Venezuela, addressed a note to the
Intendant. stating that he had received fr, m the Consul
General at Bogota information of the *song of a law,
on the Bth of July, 14 declaring that the department of
Venezuela having been de facto placed out of constitu-
tional obedience to the Executive Power of the Repub-
lic, the Government is no longer responsible for the
individual security, nor for that of the properties of fo-
reigners residing in Venezuela, or who might go to
reside them during the present crisis."
Ia reply to this, Mendoza, on the 26th of August,
addressed a note to Sir R. Porter, assuring him that
every protection should be afforded to the persons end
property of foreigners; and Paez, on the 6th October,
made similar assurances.

On the 26th of September, the Consul addressed
another note to the Intendant, complaining of the se-
rious grievances the British merchants labour un ier
from the total stoppage of the putts, both in going
from and coming to Caraccas. From the 10th of July
to that date the Consul himself had not received a
single letter or paper from Bogota, Carthagena, Santa
Martha, or Maracaibo.
The letter was laid before Paez, who, on the 2d of
October, made a reply, confessing his inability to re-
medy the evil. In one instance, the post had be en
stopped by armed men in &guise; and the local au-
thorities in the interior, apparently by direction of the
powers at Bogo:a, went systematically to woik to in-
tarcept the cortelontieuce.

THE MUTINY ;
OR, SAFETY IN SUPERSTITION.
A SIIIP homeward bound, by Lascars chiefly mann'd,
41- A scheme of revolt on the passage they plann'd ;
And rising en masse, the Europeans attacled,
By native and fancitul deities back'd !
Of different casts, yet their idols agreed
That all the Lascars should united proceed
To master the vtssel, and spare not in strife
A tyrannic Christian-dog's infidel life!
The Captain appris'd of the mutiny, knew
No art she impending result to subdue ;
For courage gave way to the mutinous horde.
Ar.d terror now reign'd the stout vessel aboard.
" Resign not all hope !" a brave passenger said,
" At lean Superstition shall lend us her aid."

In Boors then of matchless resplendency graes:,
In which the fine forms of reflection were trac'd,
Ile muster'd the mutinous Lascars on deck,
And tbreaten'd on each ample vengeance to wreck ;
" Ye obdurate race, who thus cherish your crimes,
Behold! that even follow'd from far distant climes
Your idols appear, to disclaim your pursuits,
And chuse their abode in a Briton's bright Boots."
All Lascars the creed transmigration believe,—
The passenger's words the revolters receive
In proof of their faith, am! to duty adhere,
No more if (hair Idols with Christians appear !
The wish was complied with, and during the voyage
fLe Lascars no longer in duty were lacking;
l'ne idols that awed them were kept In close stowage,
And avid was the vessel by Wssase's Jar &acme!

CORN INDEMNITY BILL
--ow-

The above Bill received the Royal Assent on Wed-
nesday : the following is an abstract of it:
This Bill, which has now become the law of the land,
recites his Majesty's Order in Council of the Ist of Sep-
tember last; andithet 46 it is expedient that all persons
advising or issuing the said Order in Council, and ali
persons who have acted under or in obedience to the
same,should be indemnified.", It is therefore enacted,

Sect. I. That the Order in Council shall be deemed valid and of
due force in law ; that all actions or other proceedings whatsoever,
brought against persons advising or executing that order, shall be
discharged and made void; and that such persons may plead the
general issue, and recover double costs, in case the plaintiff " shall
become nonsuit, or forbear farther prosecution, or suffer disconti-
nuance, or if a verdict shall pus against such plaintiff." This to
meet the case of actions commenced in &gland or Ireland; and a
similar provision is made for judicial proceedings originated in
Scotland.

2. That in case of prosecutions already commenced, the defend.
ants, or defenders, whether in Great Britain or Ireland, may apply
to the Court, " by motion in a summary way." to stay proceedings,
and shall, in like manner, have double costs.
5. That the Custom House duties shall be paid at the rates required
by the Order in Council; and that all bonds for security thereof
shall be as valid as if executed under authority of a statute ; and,
4. That for the period of forty days after the commencement-of
the present Session of parliament, and until the 15th of February,'

don, in any of the ports of the United Kingdom, and of the Isle of
Man, foreign oats, oatmeal, rye. peas, or beans, upon, and subject
to, the payment of the several duties of customs mentioned in and
by the said Order in Council."

ARMAMENT FOR PORTUGAL.

By Portsmouth letters we learn, that the Helen had gone to he
fitted up as a transport, and that the Louisa and Joseph Green,
transports, were getting ready. The troops were to embark imme-
diately on board ship% of war for Lisbon. •We learn, from what we
generally look upon as an authentic source, that fifteen thousand
troops will have left this country for Portugal.
Thursday, the 10th Royal Hussars, under the command of
Colonel WYNDHAM, marched from Nottingham Barracks oa their
route to the coast to embark for Portugal. The troops were its the
highest spirits, and in passing through Nottingham, the band played
" God savcthe King." The soldiers bidding adieu to the inbabitaats
with repeated cheers. A great number of spectators assembled to
witness the departure, whose best wishes accompanied this
gallant corps. . . _

The depot of the 674 Regiment passed through the City chit
afternoon from Wiudsor, to the Ttiwer, where it is to be stationed.
The Arsenal of Portsmouth assumes a very warlike aspect.—
Every Public Officer is on the alert, and the streets are crowded as
usual in time of war.

The greatest exertions are making at Portsmouth to get the trans-
ports ready. The King's ships appointed to take troops are—the
WRLLESLCY, the NI it vii.tx, the Iteststsr, Pe RAMUS, &c.

THE THEATRES.

COVENT GARDEN.

The new Opera of Peueril of Me Peak was repeated last night.
6The " Cherry Ripe" finale was left out, and a more appropriate
tine substituted in its place. The change made all the difference
between applause and opposition at the close of the Piece.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
We were extremely gratified last evening to find an elegant and
crowded audience assembled within the walls of this Theatre. This

was as it should be, and we hope that those talented Performers
who so handsomely volunteered their able services on this occasion,
Will have the satisfaction of knowing that their exertions have contri-
buted to produce a temporary sufficiency for the widow and family
of their late brother, Mr. Cosixoa. The performances were as ex-
cellent as from the congregated host of talent the most sanguine
coult7 expected them to be.
ADELPHL

The unabated attraction of the new Barletta, Luke the Labourer,
continues to draw nightly the most crowded audiences at this little
Theatre ; in spite of which, however, the Managers brought out last
night a new Comic Ballet, to evince their anxiety to please the
public. The Runaway; or, La Fills inal-gardee (such is the title of
this Ballet), has been already perfot med at Vauxhall ; we need only
add that it was received with great applause. A Pas Sent, executed
in a must finished style by the Ifilliputian SULAM DUVAL ; and a
Pas de Deus, by the Misses MiHYPIIIT and Kase, were loudly and
deservedly applauded. The house was literally crimmed.

EX:I4ACT 0/ A LETTER, DATED HALM; SEPT. 9.

A report has reached here, that an American schooner
of about 90 tons, laden with coffee, sugar, and rice, and
bound for Gottenburgh, has been sunk off Louisburg,
Cape Breton, by the crew, who landed at that pLice.
One of the crew (Murray) gave information to the
Magistrates, that when on the banks of Newfoundland,
two of the crew had murdered the Captain and mate;
and not being able to navigate the vessel, made for
land. On coming in sight of it, they scuttled the ves-
sel and took to the boat. The men were taken to
Sydney; where they remain in custody. This informa-
tion I derive from Michael Slattery, master of a coaster
from Louisburg, at Whote house they first applied, when
landing from the boat. On approaching the shore the
two principals threatened repeatedly to throw the conk
overboard, as they were afraid of his informing. He
says he begged very hard for life, and promised not to
give information; but when he got safely on shore, he
considered his promises null, and gave information first
to Slattery.
No causes have yet been made known which could
have led to this horrid crime. It was understood io
Halifax, that the mate was murdered first on deck, and
then the Captain was dispatched in his birth. The mur-
derers were Winslow Collison and Charles Merchant,
the latter an Englishman, who, it is reported, has since
boasted of having committed several other murders: he
has served in a patriot privateer ; he is a very tall and
muscular man. The cook, who gave information against
them, was a white man; and bad performed the pre-
vious voyage in the schoonei. There is reason to hope
that the third man (Hughes) is not implicated. When
they reached the shore, they reported having left a
sinking vessel, and that the Captain and Mate had taken
to the other boat, and they were anxious to sell the
effects and boat.

Proper representations have been made to the De-
patttnent of State, and an immediate application will
probably be made to the Colonial Government, that
the perpetrators of this horrid act may be speedily
brought to justice. All nations and all men are inter-
ested in securing pirates and murderers ; and once con-
victed, no mistaken clemency should be extended.. It
is not improbable that these very wretches may have
experienced the lenity of Government already.
Letters, of the date --her. from Lisbnn

of the 13th
to several houses of the first respectability here, state,
that the disturbances were quelled, and everything then
tentaiaed in a state of tranquillity.
