An interesting circumstance took
place in oyer and termlner on Tuesday
Iast. A Couniryman was arFaigncd for
highway robbery 1t appeared in evi-
dence that in the mouth Of February,
as the principal witness was going into
Kensington late at night, be was stop
ped by foot-pad, who presented "a pis-
toI, made threats, and robbed him Of
what money he had about his person.
The succeeding night, about the same
hour, the person robbed, repaired with
two friends 10 the scene of action, in
hopes that the foot-pad might again be
on duty. They discovered the coun-
tTyman standing in very suspicious al
titude, and Immediately apprehended
him. He was charged with the rob-
berry; bis story was confused and con-
Trajectory, for in truth he was as much
frightened as the man who had been
robbed the night preceding, and when
man is frightened out Of his wits, it is
not reasonable to expect much reason
from him. He was accordingly bound
over to answer TO The charge, for the
person robbed was positive as TO his j.
IDENTITY, though the darkness of the
night would have bid defiance to the
best pair of optics in McAllter's shop.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The barque Pallas, Brewster, arrived at this
port yesterday morning from Cowes, 23th
April, bringing London papers TO the 22d.
The report of the fall of MissoIonghi
is conuadicted.
The Paris Etoile states, upon the au-
thority of letters from Corfu of the 25th
aud Goth of March, that the garrison of
Missolonghi still held out. The sasno
letters give the details of the assault
and capture of AnatoIico, which CORES
pond, in point of date, with the alleged
fall of Missolonghi. Where the truth
lies, says the Globe, we know not.
Fresh disturbances had occurred in
Spain; a conspiracy 10 revcluuonize
that country had been discovered-it is
said TO have originated in secret socie-
ties. From the confessions of one OF
the conspirators, it appears that there is
in London Directing Revolutionary
Committee, of which Nina is President.
The Globe of the 22d contains an ar
tlcle on the subject of The visit of the
Duke Of Wellington to ST. Petersburg,
which was avowedly 10 compliment
the Emperor on his accession" The
Globe says, "Many circumstances make
it highly improbable that Russia will
engage in hostIIities with Turkey, ex-
cept under such explanation as to the
causes, and such guarantees as to the
fiaal purpose of it, as will satisfy the
other powers Of Europe. The general
tendency of the present measures of the
Russian government is TO lessen the
power of the military force. The en-
pire a"w, as it generally has been, is
very feeble in its financial resources,
aud incapable of extensive wars of o.
fence. The Emperor, besides nheriling
the policy of Alexander, is closely unit
ed with the Pruss:an Monarch. Their
does not appear the least probability
that under such circumstances, he
would provoke all the powers of En-
rope, who, on the point Of limiting Rus
STA within its present bounds, have the
most perfect union of feeling and inter-
ests. We sincerely hope that, with The
general consent of all, soma inferpnst
lion in favor of the perishing Greeks
will take place beyond that, war is as
improbable as il would be pernicious.''
Some extraordinary circumstances
(says the GIobe) are reported respect
ing Hayti. Mr.. Canning, it is said, took
the same, steps with France regarding
Hayti, which he did with Spain and the
States--sendiDg a for
NAL despatch to declare that, if France
did not recognize the independence of
Hayti, England would. THIS, i! ia STA
ted, led to the. acknowledgment of the
Of The Republic. If the
Hayden Government had been aware off
this circumstance, France, perhaps would
not have received any pecuGiary COM
pension for the gracious act of acknowl-
edgment.

A "BEAsTLY'' BUs1NFss.-A fact has
been mentioned to US, by gentleman.
in whom we repose perfect confidence,
which illustrates, in as ludicrous man
ner as ever before came 10 our knowl-
edge, the ruinous consequences of INTEM-
PERANCE.. A man pretty we'll advanced
in years, residing in Spartanburg Dis
trict, South Carolina, who is habiIually
addicted to intoxication, being, a few
weeks since, about trading horse 10 "a
stranger, who was TO call on Il certain
day and view him. and wishing the ami.
mai, which was rather poor, to make as
respectable an appearance as possible,
directed his son TO wet up some meal,
oats, &c. TO give the horse, 10 swell
him outs" in pursuance of these direc-
tons, the son, who, like the father, had
q DRAP an his eye," got the mcal, sc.
ard took bowl Gas he then thought) Of
water 10 "wet up the feed, "-but in
stead Of cater, the bowl contained 1shisk-
cD from which the old man had been
taking copious potations. The conse-
quence Of this mistake was, that shortly
after the horse had eaten the mess, he
became as drunk as his master; he
would caper about the yard, fall down,
jump up again, and exhbot every spe-
cies Of fantastic trick which it were pos
sible for a horse TO 60 through: He
finally ran into the dwelling house, The
door being OPEN and there renewing,
before his inebriated master, his odd
capcrs, the old man became very much
frightened,-imagining. on the spnr of
the moment, that BeeIzebub himself
had called on him,--and seziug an axe,
beat the horses brains out Thus the
life of a noble animal was sacrificed by
the stupidity of his drunken master.
