POLICE.

Bow-rrnawr.—Yesterday, John Menhir. an officer be-
longing to the Police Establishment, at Unlike. arrived
at this office, from Portsmouth, with a man itNiis cus-
tody, of the name of Armstrong, charged with being
concerned in the murder of John West, a miller, resid-
ing in 3laryborough, which took place several years
since.—On his being placed at the Bar, the charge was
read over, and the officer produced a confession, ;which
bad been officially taken from the prisoner by the Ma-
gistrates at Portsmouth, is which he acknowledged, that
about six years ago he, in company with two other men
(one of whom has since been executed for the murder),•
armed with pistols, went to the house of West, about
nine o'clock in the evening, and on gaining admission
to the house, which they did by forcing the shutters of
one of the windows on the ground floor, they discovered
West sitting with his wife at supper; they all three
rushed into the room, the prisoner seized Wept by the
collar and eensaadal the sum of 3001. which they bad
been informed he bad received on the preceding day,
threatening, at the same time, if the demand was not in-
stantly complied with, they would instantly blow his
oat; West denied having received:any such sum;

spare her husband's life, and to take all tea were pew
sessed of; but the villain struck her A violent blow on
the temple, which felled her to the ground; and again
levelling the pistol close to the forehead of her husband,
pulled the trigger, and blew his skull to pieces. The
poor man fell dead over the body of his wife, who lay
insensible from the effect of the blow, mid the wretches
hearing the approach of some person, made their escape
through a garden at the back of the house; each taking
a different route. It being quite dark. the prisoner
walked aboat five miles, and laid himself down under a
hedge, with the intention of passing the night, but no
sooner was be asleep, than dreams of the most terrific na-
ture haunted his disturbed imagination. Unable to re-
main in this place. he roamed about the remainder of the
sight, a prey to the most bitter linguist' and remorse.
At break of day, observing that he had approached a
small village, he avoided entering it, and proceeded on
his way towards Dublin: During his journey be umber-
.went extreme hardships, being continually harassed by
the fear that he was pursued, and his only subsistence
being the produce of the fields and hedges. On his &r-
-rival in Dublin he enlisted into the :).fl regiment of in-
Tiotry. and was soon afterwards drafted to the West
Indies. 'The continued battle incident to a military
life in a great messare contributed to stifle his feelings ;
but on his being quartered in a remote station, he was
again assailed with the horrors of his guilty conscience,
and after dragging on a miserable existence for two
years, he divulged the secret to his commanding officer,
and in consequence was ordered into confinement, where
be remained for eleven months. On the return of the
regiment to England he was brought a prisoner with
them, and on his being landed at Portsmouth a com-
munication was made to the Police at Dublin, and Man-
ly, the officer, was despatched front that place to take
charge of him. During the examination he appeared
greatly affected and when told that he would be imme-
diately' sent to Ireland, he trembled excessively., lie pro-
ceeded by the mail yesterday evening,. .
HATTroleakaDir4.-AIS our paper of Tuesday, we
mentioned acircumstance which occurred at the above
Otte, respecting a lad about night years of age, who
was stated to have been decoyed away from Mr. Pers7's
boarding school at Romford by a showman, -act} by
whom be was afterwards deserted in Maiden-lkne,
Battle-bridge. The interesting appearance of the lit-
tle fellow, and the manner in which be narrated, his
adventures, excited a commiseration of the Magistrate:sl
and Hancock, the constable, who had the child In
his custody, was despatched on Monday to Mc
Perry's school at Romford to make the affair known
to hint. On the Officer arriving at Rotuford, he found
to his astonishment there wasno such person or school
in the village, but he learnt that a Mr. Perry kept an
academy at a place called Shinfield, about eight miles
farther : thither Hancock went, and found Mr. Perry's.
boarding-school. On stating the nature of his visit,
he learned there had been done of his scholars taken'
away, but there bad been a youth, named. Brown, e
responding in description with the bey now in question!
in his school about 9 months since. Mr. P. advised
him to,inquire at the Rev. Mr. Bowskill's school. at
Montressing, • two miles arid a half further, he pro-
ceeded thither, and' arrived there at dark. Mr. B.
told hills he knew nothing of the boy; he
had a Scholar of that 'nimbi; but Who Was then

MART-LS-WINE OFFlCE.—Yester.lay a tradestosu,
residing in North-street, diary-le-bone, applied to the
Magistrate fur advice on the foll..wing snbject :—lle
stated that a man having a wife, and five children,
came to lodge in an apartment on the ground floor o
his house about seven weeks ago; be was of no us
tensible business, and remained up to Thursday last,
when be and his wife, unperceived by him or the
neighbours, absconded, taking with him his goods, and
leaving the five children locked up in the roots, a here
they have since remained; the two eldest contrive at
intervals each day to get out at the window to pro-
cure sustenance for the others, they having no other
visible means of support, the parents having quite de-
serted three; he had asked them several times if they
wanted for food, &c. but they answered in C.e nega-
tive, and he now wished to know how he was to act,
there being no likelihood of his bring paid for the
lodging, nor could he enter to get possession, except
by breaking open the door.
Thw Iliagiatiotg told_bitta he could giro him no se-.
slstan:e, as the jeweils occupiers appeared to have
free egress and ingress, and to want for nothing, and
that any thing he did was at his (applicant's) own
risk, but that he had better consult his attorney, and
proceed in a legal way to gain possession.

awl r

Tnestlay nigh:, whilst the Magistrates were sitting at
the'office, in Hatton-garden, an alarm prevailed in the
street, and on the officers going out to see the cause,
they found the arch of the cellar belonging to the lionise,
at the corner of Hatton-wall, which run tinder the foot-
path, had fallen in. Thompson, the constable, who was
bringing some prisoners to the office, not perceiving the
hole, fell into it, a depth of eight feet, but luckily none
of thesis received any injury, excepting a few bruises.
SRIZURES FROM SMUGGLERS --On the 'at instant,
73 tubs of spirits washed on shore, in Brackeisham
bar, were seized by the Cockbush Preventive Station.
—On the 9th, the Brighton crew seized 18 tubs.—
This teen were taken at the same time by the officers
belonging to the Customs.
On Friday last, upon an information to the Procu-
rator Fiscal, George Thom, in Harthill of Newhills,
and his wife, were apprehended anti lodged in gaol,
ou suspicion of administering poison to a family of
four persons (connections of their own,) residing in
the parish of Tough. An investigation of this diabo-
lical act is at present going on ; and we are sorry to
learn that one of these unfortunate people has already
paid the debt of nature, and that the other three are in
a very dangerous state.—(4lerdeen Cle rya.)
At Whittitighain fair there were a great number of
Irish shearers, when, on occasion of one of them
having received an affront by a Scotsman breaking his
pipe while smoking, the whole of the Irish rose and
paraded through the fair, knocking down men and
women indiscriminately with their shilelalts some
hours, when Capt. Her, of the CoquetJale Bangers,
threatening to bring Ms troop of horse, they thought
proper-to decamp in small parties in various direc-
tions, after several people were severely wounded.

house of a small farmer, named Inspeu, of Selling.,
and on the above morning, after Mrs. Impett bad gone
to milk her cows, he Caine into a .001li below stairs,
and, having a gun in his hand, said to a child of

went to the place where the woman was engaged in
milking, and accosted her by .saying, " I have leaded'
my gas. and will shoot impel/. ' She remonstrated,
and,entreited him not to do so ; when he iininediaiely

10 ()CRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so en-
-1.7 raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be
wedded ; and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word
" wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses die
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to bit:moults
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering late this hallowed oblige
(ion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only teem:gelato**
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those im
purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure msy
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, Amid also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
