Reeves, chief clerk at Union hall, attended at the

to his confinement for his attempt on the life of
Mies Colsmt.

A Clerk from the house of Child and Co.proved
the presentation of the cheque at their house on
the 22d of August, and that large notes had been
given in payment for it ; which notes, it-appeared,
from the evidence of a Clerk in the Bank of Eng.
land, had been exchanged at the Bank on the same
day for two pound' netts, several of which had
been again paid into. the Bank and cancelled ;
amongst the canceled noses produced by the clerk,
was one indorsed with the name of Edwards, Bel.
vidcre, St. George's Fields, which, on being shewn
.to Mr. Edwards, who attended, he immediately
knew to boone he received from Mr. Ellisron,with
other money, in payment of rent, the 4th of Sep-
Webber last.

witnessm, that whilst Miss Colson lay at Ellis.
ton's father's house in a wounded state, she re.
ceived a letter from some person, inclosing 101. in
BAnk.notes ; she was sent for, and questioned by
the Magistrates as to whom she had received the
letter from ; she, however, although she *know.
lodged having received a letter containing that sum,
refused to say whom it caine from, or to answer
I any question relative to the notes.
Ott the note which was indorsed by Mr. Ed.
wards being shewn to Mr. Elliston, he denied all
knowledge of it, and said he should decline an.

As others of the notes arc daily coming in at the
Bank, the further investigation of the busbies' was
postponed to a future day.

Bow-STairr.—Mr. Savage, the Gentleman
who exhibited a complaint before Mr. Read a few
days since against Mr. Jrckson (or an assault,
alleged to have been committed the first Distil of
the opening of Covent-Garden Theatre, and who)
had founded his complaint on the information of
M‘Maniss, th• Bow-street officer, came yesterday
before Mr. Graham, fur the purpose of ascer.
taming how far McManus was now ready to bear
him out in his charge.

M'Manus attended in persuance of the direc-
tion of Mr. Read, and said, that at the time of the
affray happening in the Theatre, as he stood in
the dour of the box, out of which Mr. Savage
was dragged, he thought the person who seized
Mr. S. by the collar was Mr. Jackson, as did
many other persons who witnessed the scene.
Since that period, however, he learnt that he had
rnktaken the luau, and that it was the carpenter
of the house who was so active, whose profile
bears some resemblance to that of Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Savage declared that this capl.teation was
sufficient and satisfactory to his feelings, and cx.
pressed his regret at having given Mr. Jackson so
much trouble, which he certainly should not have
dotte,had not M‘Manus misled him, by his positive
assertion of Mr. Jackson having been the ag.
gressor.

It appears that a disease, similar to that which
prevails in Holland, has afilizted our army on the
frontiers of Portugal. The French have suffered
equally; and that is the reason why, instead of
pursuiug the upciations of the campaign, they have
been ()Miffed to relinquish the positions of Pla-
centia, Curia, Almaraz, Puente del Arzobispe,
&c. Our troops, we are happy to learn, are
now restored to perkt health ; but it is supposed.
they will nos again adtanswinto Spain.
A duel was fought at Midghasn Grove, near
Berks, on Thursday morning, between
a Captain I'. and' r. U. a clergyman. The com-
batants exchanged two shots each, and in the lat_
ter the Officer was shot itf the car, but the wound
is not considered dangerous.
