Mfr. E.liott, the iiiissionary, arrivedl at Portsmrouth on Thursday, in the Oscar, from Demierara; but we are requested tu state, that his return to Englard is nlot compulsory, but perfectly vo luntarv : his stav here is merely temporyr: he has lefthis fanilZ in the colony. cA aBRIDFE, Feb. 12.-Mr. Benjamin Hafl Kenned;y of St. John's College, was on Aonday last elected Univeisi.-y Scho- lar on the Pitt foundation.

Extract of a letter frora Madrid, Jan 29 *-On Mllondas last took place the execution of a male and femnale servant for hav itg robbed their master. It was a dav of indignation ana sorrow for at least the female part of the population of this capital. r11t b wornen were in tears on seeing a young and intereating lccJ3igOr going withb firm.ness and reasation'to suffer the vile and disgusutc punishmnent of the gibb et, and whvich, as they did not fail to Teeol leet, had bean abolished by the Constitutional Government. Wbr a spectacle for the inabitantsof a country who prida thnemseives up on sa chivalrous and almost devotional feeling towards the sex, t see an able-bodied ruflian of ean eecptioner 'get astride upon tb shoulders of a young 'female. widthii- in the agonies of death, anr with one of his horrid hands forcing axlandkerchief into her-mouth while with his heels -he sithcls ber reDeatedly and violently on th stomach. Such an atrocious anct rev&tiug sight is cascitlated to d more injury to the cause ofabsolntism than the fusilading of a,whol village of Constitutionalists. Vhen the man servant arrived at th gibbet, he gazed with thc most intense and anguished atteistion upo thedisligured boavofhis utfortunatewife,and then submitted hifiost to tlse same dreadFul fate. When he was turned off, a tremeudou rush tooL place amongst 'the crowd, -without any one knowing fo -what cause. Several persons were striously innred.
