were put in his pocket. There was no blood found near the body. Some suspicions being entertained respecting a neighbour, who had attempted to borrow money from the deceased, he was apprehended, and stands charged with the murder by the coroner's inquisition. It appears that the prisoner lived about a mile from the deceased, and one of the neighbours stated, that she saw Bailey go by her house towards that of the prisoner about five o'clock on the night when the murder was committed. Another witness said, she saw the prisoner, about nine o'clock on the same night, dragging something from a new-built house, in which he carried on his business of a cooper-that he left the burden on the steps while he looked up and down the road, and then dragged it round the house. Upon examining these premises, much blood was discovered upon the walls, and on the floor in the cellar; the former had been scraped, and the latter was covered with sand: the prisoner accounted for this blood by saying, that part of a horse had been left there. A shirt was found under the coals in the cellar, having the initials of the deceased upon it. In the prisoner's house a cooper's adze was discovered, with marks of blood upon it, and the edge of which fitted the wounds on the top of the head and over the eyes of the deceased; the fractures on the skull corresponded with the hammer-formed part of the adze. The prisoner was committed to Shrewsbury county gaol on Monday. 14. Letters received yesterday from Manchester state, that several of the most respectable manufac turers had been recently threatened with the conflagration of their premises. The villains, it is added, had even the audacity to send a circular letter to several houses which they had marked out for destruction. The first house on their list was that of Messrs. Haigh, Marshal, and Co.; and on Sunday night, these gentlemen's premises were set on fire, and entirely destroyed. Every precaution has been taken to prevent further mischief; and a strict inquiry is mak ing to trace out the incendiaries. 17. On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Otley, in Yorkshire, on the body of a gentleman, who, on the preceding Sunday, had put a period to his existence by a pistol. It appeared that he first came to Otley in April last, and had divided the intermediate time between that place, Harrogate, and Thorp-arch, visiting each alternately. He pointedly avoided all society, and devoted the whole of his time to deeds of charity, never suffering a day to pass without distributing from one to fifty pounds in the course of the morning. On the Sabbath he generally confined him. self to the house, avoiding religi ously every secular pursuit. On the Friday before his death, he came from Thorp-arch to Otley. On his arrival, the people at the inn observed a considerable change in him; his spirits were more depressed. Verdict-Lunacy. left a particular request to be buried in the church-yard at Kirby Overblow, and he was there interred on Wednesday last. He 19. On Monday se'nnight, a distressing scene occurred at Happisburgh, in Norfolk. A northcountry vessel had driven ashore in the 7 the gale which prevailed during that day and the preceding evening, and was lying just beyond the breakers. Five brave fellows of the above place went off in a boat, through a most tremendous surf, to assist the crew in their endeavours to get the vessel off, she being light. After having cleared the breakers, and, as they vainly hoped, surmounted all their difficulties, whilst under the bow of the vessel, a sea, heavier than they had before experienced, struck the boat, and in an instant turned her bottom upwards. The spectators on the beach viewed with painful solicitude the fate of the poor sufferers. After watching for a quarter of an hour the progress of every wave, not a man could be seen afloat. The boat, which had been driven by the tide, by this time approached the shore near enough for the persons standing thereon to seize hold of her: while they were employed in dragging her out of the reach of the breakers, a sea struck her with such violence as to bilge in one of her sides, from whence crept, uninjured, the five men whose fate they were deploring. They ascribed their truly providential escape to the suddenness with which the boat was capsized, by which means not only themselves were overwhelmed by her, but a quantity of air was in cluded; and by holding on the seats, they were enabled to keep their heads above water, and by so doing respiration continued, and their lives were preserved. 20. The Rev. Ebenezer Aldred, a dissenting minister, from the High Peak, in Derbyshire, appeared in a boat upon the Thames, dressed in a white linen robe, with his long hair flowing over his shoulders, and announced that the 22. Mr. Standen, who resides near Hastings, in returning from market, was stopped at Hollington-lane, about a quarter of a mile from the town, by two soldiers of the 16th dragoons, armed with pistols. They demanded his money, instantly knocking him from his horse, wounded him severely in the face, and then robbed him of his pocket-book, containing 301.; and, after much ill usage, permite ted him to depart. Instead, however, of proceeding towards his home, Mr. Standen returned by a circuitous route along the beach by the sea-side, into the town, and gave the alarm at the principal inns and public-houses, before the footpads could succeed in reaching the town or their quarters unobserved. Measures were immediately taken by the commandingofficer, to intercept the robbers on their return to their quarters. On being secured, the offenders were taken before the magistrates, when it was discovered that their clothes had been turned, and blood stains were fresh on the inside of their jackets. Finding the evidence so strong against them, they confessed the robbery, and stated that they had concealed Mr. Standen's pocketbook behind the shutters of a blacksmith's shop, where it wasaccordingly found, with its contents. The prisoners were committed to Lewes gaol, for trial at the assizes. 24. The following is an extract from the Nottingham Review of Friday: "It is with much pain that we have have to renew our weekly list of broken frames: as, however, the frame-breakers still continue their operations in despite of every exertion of the civil and military authorities, we must do our duty to the public. This morning, about five o'clock, a number of men entered in at the chamber window of Mr. Harvey, West-street, Broadlane, in this town, and while some of them secured the family, others proceeded into the workshop, and demolished five warp-lace frames, which were employed in making two-course-hole net: they were all very valuable frames, and one of them was 72 inches wide; and, what is worthy of remark, Mr. Harvey had, a short time ago, removed from New Radford to this town, as a place of safety. Two frames were left unbroken; and it is supposed they were saved through a neighbouring woman calling out murder, and who had a pistol discharged at her to make her cease her noise. Mr. Harvey had two loaded pistols and a blunderbuss in his house, the former of which the frame-breakers took away; and as they were descending from the window, it was thought by persons who saw them, that the nightly piquet was receiving them to conduct them to prison, but it turned out to be about twenty-five of their companions, armed and dressed in soldiers' great coats, one of whom was dignified with a large staff, and, it is supposed, he was the commander of the party. On Monday morning, five men entered the house of Edward Orson, of Stanton, in Derbyshire, and broke one narrow cotton frame." Ives, of the West Essex militia, was stopped between Stilton and Norman-cross, at eight in the evening, by a number of fellows, who, after having knocked him down and robbed him of his watch and money, wrenched open his jaws, and with savage cruelty cut off a piece of his tongue! It is said that the serjeant has lately been active in suppressing the plattrade at Norman-cross barracks; revenge, therefore, in all probability, instigated the ruffians to this atrocious act. Plymouth, Feb. 25.-To-day this place has been visited by a more dreadful thunder-storm than has been experienced here for many years. The lightning was exceedingly vivid, and the claps tremendously loud, accompanied with a heavy shower of hail. Several persons who were on the citadel at the time, distinctly saw the elec tric fluid strike one of the guns; its direction was from S. W. to N. E. nearly. In this dreadful storm the fore and main top-mast of his majesty's ship, Tonnant, were struck with lightning, which shattered them, and beat down and wounded no less than twentyfour persons on board that vessel A merchant brig, which also was at anchor in Cawsand bay, and near the former, was struck at the saine time, on board of which two men were killed. A seaman, who was at the main-top-mast head of the Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze, was also struck by the lightning, and knocked down dead on the deck; and another seaman who was standing on the quarterdeck of this vessel at the moment, was so much burned, that his life About a week ago, serjeant is despaired of. These awful oc currences currences took place from eleven to twelve o'clock. 25. On the evening of a fair at Ballynahinch, in Ireland, the week before last, the spirit of party broke out between several of the lower orders, styling themselves Threshers on the one side, and Orangemen on the other, who proceeded to the utmost violence. They ran up and down the streets, pursuing and pursued, armed with sticks, huzzaing and shouting; after which, the attack became more serious, by vollies of stones thrown in every direction; an attack was made upon some of the houses, the windows of three of which were wrecked, when two shots were fired from one of these houses, by which a man was killed on the spot, and another dangerously wounded. Two other men lay dangerously ill from bruises from bludgeons and stones, and several others received like damage,--not dangerously. There were on both sides above 300 people. On Friday se'nnight last, a meeting took place at Castle Connor, near Ballina, in the county of Roscommon, between Mr. O. Joynt and Mr. P. M'Kim, attended by their respective seconds, and a vast number of spectators, when, on the first fire, the latter was struck in the forehead, and instantly expired. MARCH. 1. A caricature has been exhihited at Paris, in which the emperor and the king of Rome are the most prominent characters. The emperor is represented as sitting at a table in the nursery, with a cup of coffee before him, into which he is squeezing beet-root. Near to him is seated the young king of Rome, voraciously sucking the beet-root. The nurse, who is steadfastly observing him, is made to say, "Suck, dear, suck, your father says it is sugar." Dolphins.-The journal of the department of Cotes du Nord contains a report from M. Le Maoux, professor of natural history, to the prefect of the department, stating that some fishermen of Plonbazlanec lately fell in with seventy enormous dolphins, which they chased. One of these animals, having been wounded, fled towards the shore, and all the rest proceeded in the same direction. Having got aground, and being deprived of their element, they struggled several days, uttering mournful sounds. The scene filled the spectators with pity and terror. Among the seventy, twelve were sucking, each seven feet and a half long; the largest of the adults was a female, nineteen feet long, and her greatest circumference was ten feet. 2. A most daring robbery was committed at Reading. The Judges entered the town for the purpose of holding the assize. Mr. Serjeant Marshall officiated as Judge for Mr. Justice Lawrence. Coming out of the church in grand procession, the Serjeant Judge in his robes was hustled and robbed of his gold watch and seals. When the Bath coach, which left town on Monday night, March 2, arrived at Chippenham on the succeeding morning, the people of the inn were surprised at seeing three outside passengers lying in a state of insensibility: on a nearer approach, they perceived that vitality had had been actually extinct in two of them for some time, the bodies being perfectly cold. The third, a soldier, had some faint signs of animation left; but he expired the following morning. From some papers found in the pockets of one of them, he proved to be a journeyman pewterer, from London, who being afflicted with a contraction in his wrists, had obtained an order for admission into the Bath Infirmary, for the benefit of the waters. On the above fatal night it rained incessantly; and to the cold, added to the drenched state of their garments, the fatal catastrophe was doubtless owing. 3. The Nottingham paper of Saturday does not make any mention of disturbances during the last week but a disposition to riot has manifested itself near Huddersfield, in Yorkshire. Last Saturday week a number of persons assembled near the premises of Mr. Joseph Hirst, of Marsh, with their faces blacked, and their persons in other respects disguised, and having forcibly obtained admittance into the dressing-shops, proceeded to destroy all the machinery used in the dressing of cloth, such as dressing frames, shears, and other implements, used in what is commonly called gig mills, the whole of which they completely demolished. The same, or a similar party, then proceeded to the workshops of Mr. James Balderson, of Crossland Moor, where machinery of a similar description is employed; upon which they committed similar depredations, completely destroying or rendering useless the whole of the machinery. The depredations appeared to the magistrates to be of so alarming a nature, that they were induced to apply to general Vyse, at Beverley, for military aid, who dispatched an express to Leeds, with an order for the troop of Scotch Greys stationed there, to proceed immediately to Huddersfield. It not being thought expedient to leave Leeds without military, a squadron of cavalry was marched from Sheffield, and arrived about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning; and, in the afternoon of the same day, a squadron of the 2d Dragoon Guards, stationed at the barracks near York, was dispatched to Huddersfield, to relieve the Scotch Greys, who returned to Leeds on Thursday. 5. Several dead bodies were found on the north shore, near Liverpool, which were, of course, supposed to have come from some vessel which must have been wrecked during the very severe gales of the preceding night. By the inscription on part of the stern of a vessel which has been found, she ap pears to have been the Fly packet, from Newry to Liverpool. There is reason to believe, from the best information that has yet been received, that the number of persons, on board was not less than forty, every soul of whom appears to have perished. 9. Disturbances in the vicinity of Huddersfield continue. On Wednesday an armed party broke into a mill, situated between Slaithwaite and Huddersfield: after they had effected their purpose, the leader drew up his men, each man answering to a particular number instead of his name, then fired off their pistols, and marched away. 10.
