UNION HALL. T. Wood, a vagrant, whose appearance pm-seined a striking picture of mi'ery, was brought up by W. Snow, the Constable of Newington, who stopped him in the act of begging from door to door. On searching him, money was found concealed carefully in various parts of his rim, to the amount of £' 3s. and also a valuable silver hunting watch, capped and jewelled : it also appeared that the prisoner was in the weAly receipt of 3s. from the Parish officers of St, George's, to which Parise he helotb,ss. The money. watch, and some papers and memorandums found on the prisoner, were handed over tothe Churchwardens; and on furCier inquiry. it appeared, that this miserable impostor was Ow proprietor of several small tenements, the rent of which he receivma weekly.—lle was committed to the House of Cornx.tiou for seven day's, and ordered to be afterwards passed to his parish.  The nine convicts at Ely As,rtes, whose sentences were mitie tied to transportation, were last week conveyed to Newpate, front %%hence they are to be sent off to Botany Bay by the fir VC!.3,4 that Naik.  At Lady Jersey's lateentertainment, a man in a good evening dress, and a tolerable appearance. came to the door, out of a hackney midi. and having announced himself to the sersant as Captain Kehy, was permitted to go up stairs, with the usual repetitions of his supposed name. On approaching the door of the ball-room, he stopped, on a pretence that his shoe-buckle was loose; and, affecting to find great difficulty in fastening it, he desired to he shewn into some separate apartment. 'nth was done by the servants ;he was shewn into a dressingroom, and was des.•ending foam that to leave the house, when the servants suspected him, knowing that he had not been in the principal apartments. He was searched. and a silver ink-stand of her Ladyship's being found upon him, he was taken to the watch-house by Lavender.  At the Countess of Shaftesbury's hall, a man fashionably dressed, sent up his name as General Gore, or Gower, and actually entered the ball-room. In such a company no person with the rank of General could long remain without being known to some one. It Is as observed. that he did not present himself to the Lady of the mansion, nor speak to any person. The suspicions of the company soon became apparent to him, and he left the hall-mows, but not the house. Si.arrh being made for him, he was found concealed in one of the apartments under a sofa.—We have not heard that the Police Officers knew him, but he acknowledged btaiself to he an impostor. As he had taken nothing, he was dismissed.  A girl.

The unforternitte man retired tohi., apartment, where he put a period to his existence by blowing his bead to atoms with a donhle barrelled pistol, the report of which brought some of the amnesties to the room, where they found him in a state List shocking to be described. A brace of balls. which passed through his head, lay near the body on the bed. In tile evening an Inquisition was held on the body. It appeared that the as...eased was a pleasant cheerful man, much in the favor of hie master, and esteemed by all who knew hint ; that within the last fortnight he complained of a pain in his stomach, and was also troubled with headach ; that he used to lean with his elbow on the tilde, and his hetul resting on his hard ; that he grew melancholy, and exhibited evident marks of derangement. The jury, without any hesitation. returned a verdict-- That he shot himself is a state of mmital derangement. FATAL Erectes or IV'
