MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A man named Livid, who keeps a receiving shop in
F,dgeware-road, and his daughter, were yesterday
committed for feloniously receiving a copper, which
had been stolen with other articles from a neighbour-
ing brazier. The officers found the• article on the
first search.

The Westminster Quarter Sessions ended yester-
day. Nothing of importance occurred.
The attempt made by a young gentleman, named
Frederick Kelmer, to destroy himself, on Thursday,
in the inland department of the Post Office, still con-
tinues matter of astonishment and mystery. No ac-
count
has 'yet been heard of whither he tied, after I
his rash attempt. The most anxious inquiries were
made yesterday, by his friends, alto: him, but with-
out avail. His father came yesterday to town, and,
accompanied by the Comptroller of the Post Office,
went to the Virginia coffee-house, where his trunk
was opened and searched. Nothing, however, t raas-
ipited, to throw the smallest light upon the raotives
which drove him to this act of desperation, nor lid
any thing appear casting the slightest slur upon his
I deportment while in the Post Office. It has appear-
ed, however, that a letter, containing some bank-
notes, put into the Post Office three months sisce,
did not came to hand until very lately. This delay
was traced to the-Intand Office, in consequence of
the complaint prefer:•ed by the person to whom the
letter was directed, and it being imputed to young
Kelmer, he was threatened with suspension, unless he
could satisfactorily account for this apparent piece of
wisconduct. Whether any blame could or could not
be justly imputed to him on this account, the fear of
disgrace is supposed to have operated so powerfully
on his mind, es-. 0 produce derangement. lie has
been frecpently-seen -in a very coutemplative mood
by his fellow elerki, and upon inquiring what was
the matter, be.camplained of- the embarrassment of
his pecuniary circumstances, and once or twice he
said he thought he had better blow out his brain,
since his affairs were in such a low condition. Hand-
I bills were yesterday circulated, offering a reward by
his friends, for the' production of his body, dead or
alive. His countenance is a good deal remarkable,
from the loss of one of his eyes, which he sustained
in childhood.
General SirNer, charged with having, on his own
'confession, feloniously stolen, taken, and carried,
1 a cock and eight hens, from a hen-roost, at Bapchild,
the property of Wm. Coleman, has been committed
to the county gaol of Maidstone.
On Monday last a shameful hoax was played off
in the name of the Right Honourable Lady Strang-
ford, which, as is usual on similar occasions, paid no
regard to private feelings, or consemeences. Letters
were addressed to several tradesmen in her Ladyship's
name, desiring them to attend at five o'clock ; Chases
were ordered„ hair-dressers, tailors, butchers, poul-
ters, upholsterers, &c. &c.
