To Mr. Juhn Bennett, jun. Pores:

The King of Faatict hai-experpled only one-hal(
of the sum allotted for his Civil List for the first
three mood's of his actual reign, terminating the Ist
of July ; oien though many pecuuiary expellees may
bp supposed ineli.ent to re-establishment of the
throne.

Saturday night, the 23d inst. a labouring man,
residing in York-street, Battersea-fields, under an
impulse of jealousy, procured a sharp knife, and
proceeded up stairs into the bed-room, where his
wife was asleep, and mangled her in the face in a
dreadful manner, and afterwards cut her throat.—
A surgeon 'attended immediately, but she now lies
without hopes of recovery. It is remarkable, that
the daughter of the woman came to visit her mother
on the Monday morning, in consequence of a dream
on the preceding night, in which she actually de-
clared she saw her mother cut in the manner already
specified. They have been, married nearly fifty
years. -

Fho kept a shop in Union-hall, during Chester fair,
went to examine his box, at his lodgings in Cow-
lane, in that city, when he found the lock bad been
picked, and the box robbed of 2001. The foolish
man, instead of employing a printer and a police
officer, 'immediately hired a chaise, and set off into
Males,, to consult what is vulgarly termed a fortane-
telkr! ;It is noedless to add, that !Lo has not slisio-

Tered any trace of his property : and, in addition to
his Arst loss, he is threatened with. an action, for
baying publicly accused an innocent person of the
