Tbe following bulletin was on Sunday shewn at St. James's Palace : " Windsor Castle, Dec. 21.— The King h s not been worse in any respect, during this wet k." His Majesty's health is now stated to be somewhat improved ; he has, it is said, evinced more frequent instances of clear recollection, both of recent and ti mote events, and those signs of intellectual faculty are of longer duration than experienced for the last live ' onths. Yt sterday a Lisbon mail arrived, by which we have received advices from that city to the 8th inst. Tiie head- quarters of tile Allied Army have been ad- vance ' to Fri nada. This movement, it appears from ad' ;> ti ll at Ire- sell by Lord Wellington to the Pir- t: gu - e Secretary of State, has been made in con st ', U nee ot the a Ivance of a French corps from Sala- niat c. i to the Sierra de Franza. Tne enemy retired on the advance of the Allied Army. Lord Welling ton's dispatch is dated the 27th tilt. 3iid contains uo intelligence from Valencia with which wc were not before acquainted through the medium of Ihe French anl Spanish papers. Accounts, however, had been iciVived at Lisbon from Valencia, of the date of the fioih uit. two davs later than the last dispatches from Slit net ill the Paris papers. These accounts state, that a vigorous sally had been made against the works of the besieging army. It is added, that Tarragona is invested by a powerful body of Spaniards, aud that it must revert to its rightful owners, unless speedily relieved. T ie only French army at hand, in suf- ficient " trength to effect this, is that of Suclict, and ); e mu- t abandon his designs upon Valencia, if he n; i .- uic to pit st rve Tarragona. By the Townscnd packet, N'lv York papers to the I3tii ult. have been received in town.— They are filled for several days in succession, with the corres- po. i fence of Mr Foster and Mr. Monroe, relative to tht situation of Great Britain and America. The documents are the same that were read at the open- ing of Congress. Private letters received by the packet mention, that the affair of the Chesapeake is accommodated to the satisfaction of all parties, and th. it the other points at issue between the two Go- vernments, are in the most promising train of adjust- ment. There is another arrival from America with dis- pones from Mr. Foster, supposed to contain the. ultimatum ofthe American Government on the points at i- stie between the two countries. The Gulliver, from Boston, which port she left on tbe 25th nit. is arrived at Liverpool. She is said to bring intelligence, that the negociatious between the American Government and Mr. Foster were proceed- iiig amicably. By the Copenhagen Gazettes, the sufferings of the Baltic fleet iu the late gales do not appear so great as previous statements made them. Instead of 12 ships being entirely lost, these gazettes say only se ven, and that three of them were 3- mastcd vessels. The bu' k of the fleet after the gale proceeded from L? aland to Gottenbnrgh. The '! igris East- liidiaman, laden with supplies for St. Hs ! i en, which was lately stranded, but afterwards cot off, near Margate, has been again on shore off Calais, hut was fortunately extricated with the assist- ance of the Cracker gun- brig, and is arrived ill Mar- gate Roads. On Monday died, the Rt. Rev. Charles Moss, Bi- shop of Oxford, Chancellor of Bath and Wells, & c. His Lordship had the misfortune to break a blood vessel some time ago, from the effects of which lie never recovered. He. has left 30001. to be applied in aid of three schools upon tbe admirable system of Or. Bill; for the establishment of which, the National Society for educating the poor upon the principles of the Chinch of England was so laudably instituted. The Prince Regent, in compliment tr, his old tutor, Dr.. Jackson, has, we understand, given the vacant Bishoprick of Oxford to the much respected brother of that worthy divine, at present one of the Canons of Christ Church. At Rome, on the 27th nf October, Madame Blan- eliard became the victim of heriutrepidily, by ascend- ing in a balloon, which in a violent wind dashed against the tiles of the houses, and threw it, after having carried itover the Tiber, against a tree, where it was caught. Assistance immediately ran to the aeronaut, and dragged her from the gondale ( boat), but not before she wasdead. At the Catholic Dinner in Dublin last wet k, nearly 1000 persons sat down ; it passed off with the highest conviviality; a number of excellent toasts were giv- en;— not the least lemarkable circumstance, was a speech from the celebrated Mr. Lancaster, in which lie saiti— " He had often talked with the Kane of Eng- land : and in one of his conversations he contrived to know his sentiments upon Catholic Emancipation. The King was favourable to Catholic Emancipation, ( hear, bear!)— he told him he was, but his coronation oath he thought would not allow him to do any thing for the Catholics ; and he was concerned at it—( cries of hi nr.)— He thought that this proof of conscience was til be nspccted. He did not learn the circiim- stan •!• from tiie courtier and statesman, lie had it from . the King personally."—( Hear! heiir!) Boyd and Grant, the seamen belonging to the Diana frigate, who so nobly supported their character as British seamen, in refusing to engage in the mutiny on board the prize brig, and in finally rescuing the brig from the mutineers, have been strongly tecum mended to the Admiralty for promotion.— They are both natives of Scotland. Au empty house in Pall- Mall was, early on Satur- day morning, discovered to be on fire by the centi- neis at Carleton Hoose, who with laudable prompti- tude burst open the door, and suppressed it before it got a- liead. The fire was the deed of some villains who meant to rob the premises. On Saturday night the inhabitants of Ratcliffe and Shadwell patroled the streets, each of- them armed with swords and pistols. Many families in the neigh- bourhood have not ventured fo bed since Thursday. MURDER OF MR. WILLIAMSON AND FAMILY. Satnrdav afternoon an inquest was held ar the Black Horse, New Gravel- lane, on tlie bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Williamson and their servant, before Mr. Unwin, Coroner for the district, who took the following de- positions :— John Turner morn,— I have lodged in the house of Mr. Williamson about, eight months; I board at my brother's; I went from my brother's to Mr. William- son's on Thursday evening last, about twenty minutes before eleven o'clock; when I went in, Mrs. William- son was standing at the front door, and followed me; Mr. Williamson was sitting in the middle room in his great chair; the servant was in the back room. Mr. Williamson told me to sit down'; a man came in for a pint of beer, and toid Mr. Williamson lhat there was a stout man, with a very large coat on, passing in at the iiiner glass door iu the passage; Mr. Williamson, catching up the candlestick, said, " I'll see what he wants." tie went out with the. candle in his hand, and returned, saying, " he conid. not see him, but if he did see liitn, lie would send where he ought, or would not like to go." Shortly afterwards the servant raked out the fire, and I went to bed, at which time Mrs. Williamsbn followed me up stairs to her own room, with a wat< h and si! v„ er punch- ladle. This was the last time that I saw either of them living. I heard Mrs. Williamson lock the bed- room door and go down stairs aaam. I went to bed, and had not been there above five minntes- before I heard the front door rang- ed to very hard. Immediately afterwards I beard the servant exclaim, " We are all murdered," or " shall he murdered," two or three times; I had not been asleep. I heard the sound of two or three blows, but with what weapon I cannot say. Shortly after {. heard Mr. Williamson cry out, " I am a dead man !" 1 was m bed still About, two minutes afterwards, I got out of bed, and listened at the door hut could hear nothing: I went down to the first floor, and from below I heard the sound of three heavy sighs : I heard some person walk across the middle room on the ground floor very lightly; I was then half way down the last pair of stairs, and naked ; I went to the bot- tom of the stairs, and the door stood a little on the jar.. I passed through the npruing, and by the iigtit of a candle which was burning m tho room, I saw a man, apparently near six feet high, in a large rough Flushing coat, of a dark colour, which came down to his heels; he was standing with his bark towards me, apparently leaning over some person, as if in the act ot ntJiug their pockets, as 1 neanl some, silver rattle, and saw him rise and open his coat with his left hand, and put his right hand to his breast, as if to put something in his pocket; I did not see his lace, and I Only saw that one person I was fearful, and went up stairs as quick, but as softly as I could ; I thought first of get- ting under the bed, but was fearful I should be found; I then took Ihe two sheets, tied them together, tied them to the bed- post, opened the window, and lower- ed myself down by the sheets. The watchman was coming bv ; I told him there was murder in the house, and lie assisted me in getting down. I had nothing on but my night- cap, my shirt, and a Jersey waiscoat:. The watchman sprang his rattle ; Mr. Fox then came up, and said, " break the door open." Mr. Fox went over the way, and came back again with a hanger. George Fox sworn.— I reside in New Gravel- lane, opposite the house of the deceased. On Thursday night, as the watcii was going eleven, I was told the house was being robbed, if not the people being mur- dered in it. I proposed to break open the door. The door and the front cellar- window were immedi- ately broken open; three or four persons went down the cellar- window, while myself and three or four went in at the door. We went into the middle room occu- pied as a kitchen, wiiere there was a light burning on a table; there I saw Mrs. Williamson lying upon her face, along the hearth, wilh iier head towards the door, with her throat cut, aud the blood flowing from the wound, apparently dead ; she had all her cloaths on; some keys and a box were lying by the side of her ; and it appeared to me that her pockets had been rifled; the servant, Bridget Harrington, lying between Mrs. Williamson and the fire- place m the same direc- tion, with her throat cut, and the blood flowing from it ; the fire was out, and materials laid ready to light in the morning; she was also completely dressed, and appeared to have received a violent blow oil the head. I immediately called out, " Where is the old man Williamson." I was answered from those in the cellar " Here he is, with his throat cut." I went part cf the way down, and saw him lying upon his back in the cellar; I immediately, with others, proceeded to search the house; I went into the back room, next to tliat ill which I had found the bodies of Mrs. William- son and the servant, aud found that the. inside shutter of one of the back windows had been taken down, and the sash thrown up; in about half an hour after- wards I examined the window more closely, aud saw the window shutter, which had been taken down, marked with blood, apparently with the print of a hand, and there was aiso blood upon the inside iron bar. When I first saw the window open, I begged somebody would go up stairs and search tiie house, while I remained at the window. I stopped at that window to prevent any retreat; Mr. Mallett. the Chief Clerk of the Shadwell Office, and two police officers, went with me to search for the offenders, but without effect, at different houses, inconsequence of information that two suspicions persons had gone along Shadwell High- street. Soon after 1 got into the house I saw JohnTnrner, who had, as I was informed, made his escape out of the window, and gave him in charge to the watchman. William Salter, surgeon, inspected the bodies of the parties deceased, and described the marks of viblei ce. Several other witnesses being examined, the Jury, after a patient consideration ofthe whole ofthe evi- dence from two o'clock until seven in the evening, re- turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person I or persons unknown." It is with no common sentiments of shame for the stigma cast upon lis all, anJ regret that such baseness and savage barbarity should exist iu human nature, that we give the above detail of horrors, The most unrelenting cruelty and sanguinary cunning, equally mark this massacre and the destruction of the Mart s, and almost warrant the conclusion that the same wretches were the perpetrators. Such atrocities have, hitherto happily been rare, and the general feelings the present ones excite in every part ofthe kingdom, prove that the good old virtues for which we have ever been celebrated as a people, yet exist amongst us with undiminished f ii ce, and however a few ruffians may disgrace lis, the general feeling is still pure; and it is a cheering reflee- ti. rn, that the present numerous establishments for educating the poor, by disseminating the pure morali- ty of the gospel, and inculcating that rectitude of feel- ing, which ever accompanies knowledge founded on the basis of religion, will tend to preserve all those so- cial virtues, which when extinguished, can only re- lish on the altar ofnational ruin. One fart established by too dreadful evidence, is ( bat file pi csent police f Lou- don, and more especially that part of it whoso duty it ist • guard the inhabitants during tie i . ghi, are ma quale to the object, and inerefste the so mer t > - w , n sys- tem undergoes a revision ami correction th- better, fo: the comfort and safety of the honest classes of tiie com- munity. A number of persons have been apprehended and examined oil suspicion of Vicg- uucerned in the above atrocious murders, as wli. as tiwr of Mr. Mair and family; but nothing conclusive bung a- Mhiced against them, they have all bef : i . iisclur.' ed, . xent a mai. named Driscol, whe reman s for farth-. f ex nomatkni. It is generally believed that tho vilain or villains who committed the murders reside near the spot. Various other reports circuited of minders committed, arc unfounded. A letter from Dover savs, that a Portuguese had surrendered himself, and had disclosed the names of six others concerned with iiim ill tlie murder of Marr's family ; but the Magistrates at Bow- street have cb- tained no such information.

Universally as it is resorted lo in cases of weakness ami emaciation, so also are its benign and health- re- storing qualities equally universal. Some, perhaps, unacquainted with its virtues, not having perused that interesting * Guide,'* ( which must be but few indeed) may be induced to ask what is the Balm of Gilead fit for? what complaint doth it cure? To answer this it will be necessary to " Hold up the Mirror to Nature." Let those who are afflicted in Ihe following manner reflect oil the CAUSE that produced such havoc upon " the wholesome appetites and powers of life:"— dis- ordered stomach, dry cough, weakness in the voice, hoarseness, short ness of breath upon the least exercise, and relaxation of ihe whole system. Those afflicted with paleness, languor of the eyes, weakness of sight or memory, should take time to consider, as LINNAEUS says, that " you'h is the important, period for framing a robust constitution," and that " nothing is to be dreaded so much as premature excess." The foun- dation of a happy oid age is a good constitution in youth; temperance and moderation at that age are passports to happy grey hairs. Nothing can be better described than in the words of Armstrong— •" For want of timely care millions have died of medicable ivounds." For such as these, then, this healing Baiip is suitable. Complaints stifled under the cameleon appellation of Nervous and Consumptive are its proper climax, the one it will eradicate— the other will be cured by it3 in- fluence :— the BAI.

LOUDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 25. IK cm THE LONDON GAZETTE, DOWMNG- STREET, DEC. 2- 1, 1811. ADi- pateh, of which the following is an extract, was yesterday morning received at Lord Liver- pool's Office, addressed to his Lordship hy General Viscount Wellington, dated Frenada, 4th Decem- ber, 1811. According to the intention which I communicated to VONR Lordship, I withdrew our advanced guard across the AgUeda on the 29th. Don Carlos D'Espagpe has informed me, that he attacked the enemy on the 28th of November, on their retreat from the Sierra de Friuicia, between Miranda and Endrinal, with a detachment of Don Julian Sanchey's infantry and a detachment of the Regiment de la Princess i. On their arrival at En- drinal they were attacked by Don Julian Sanchey with his cavalry, and were obliged to form in a Square. Don Carlos informs me that. the enemy suffered considerable loss; and that the troops got possession of some of the money, of which the enemy had plundered the inhabitants of the Sierra de Francia. Don Carlos D'Espagne mentions particularly the conduct of Lieutenant William Reid, of tiie Royal Engineers, who attended him upon this expedition, having before been employed to perform a service under his directions^ ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, DEC. 24. This day, in pursuance of the pleasure ofhis Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name and on behalf of his Majesty, His Royal Highness William Hctiry Duke of Clarence, Admiral of the Red, was promoted to the Rank of Admiral of the Fleet, in the room of Admiral Sir Peter Parker, Baronet, deceased. ( This night's Gazette declares tlie river of Gua- dalquivir in a state of blockade.) A Lisbon mail arrived yesterday, bringing papers to the atli, and letters to the 10th inst. The latest ac- counts that had reached Lisbon from Valencia are of the date of the 2i) th tilt. two days later than the last dispatches of Suchet, that have been received iu this country. They state that a vigorous and successful sally had been made against the works of the besieging army. Il is added, tiiat Tarragona is invested by the Pjlriots in considerable force, and that it must fall un- less reinforced The private letters from Lisbon stare, that the heail- • quttrters of Manumit had been removed to Talavera ( tela Reyita, and that his whole force, does not exceed 23,000 men, of which 3000 were sick. The enemy have evacuated the Astiirias. The German papers are filled with the accounts of the war between the Turks and the Russians. The former sustained a severe defeat about the middle of October. It is said that this disaster is expected to hasten the conclusion of a peace. A decree has recently passed in Denmark, which presents a most gratifying proof of the superiority of British Courts in the administration of justice. By tliis measure, which is dated the lath instant, his Da- nish Majesty decrees, that a certain proportion of the proceeds of all prizes is to be set apart, in order to its being distribmed, during the w ar, amongst such of the Judges ami other Publii- Officers, whose revenues do not exceed one thousand or twelve hundred crowns annually. By private letters from Memel, We learn, that co- lonial produce is at present in great demand in Prussia aud Russia, and, notwithstanding all the efforts of the French for its exclusion, considerable quantities are introduced into both of these countries. A New York mail arrived on Friday, with Ame- rican papers to the 17th lilt. Wc learn by them, that the long existing differences arising out of the affair of the Leopard and Chesapeake, have at length been satisfactorily adjusted.— The conduct of Admiral Berkeley, in issuing the order to search the Chesa- peake, is disallowed by the Prince Regent, and in addition to bis disavowal, the seamen who were taken out are to be restored to the Chesapeake, antl a suitable pecuniary provision made by the British Government for the sufferers, inconsequence of the attack on that vessel, including the, families of those seamen w ho fell in the action, and of the wounded survivors. The documents accompanying the Pre- sident's message appear in these papers; they are voluminous, and, from Mr. Foster's letter to Mr. Monroe, it appears that he has been unsuccessful in persuading Ihe American Government thai the Berlin and Milan Decrees arc not substantially rescinded— though they may have been temporarily modified to answer particular views. The Gulliver, American vessel, has arrived at Li- verpool from Boston, whence she sailed on the 25th lilt. Letters from Boston state, that the negoeiation between Mr. Foster and Mi. Muni oe, was going ou fa- vourably.— Advices from New- York to the 26th tilt, mention, that the President had appointed Mr. Q. Adams, Plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of London. He is to be succeeded at St. Pe- teisburgh. by Mr. Irving, from Copenhagen. Mr. Pniknev, in his account ofhis audience of leave of the Prince Regent, as given in the correspondence laid before Congress, states that " The Prince's reply was of course general; but I ought to say, that ( ex:. elusive of phrases of courtesy) it contained explicit declarations of the most amicable views and feelings to- wards the United States." Two circumstances connected wilh the correspon- dence of Mr. Foster, have attracted particular atten- tion— his acknowledgement that he is provided with full powers, on certain conditions, to announce to the American Government the revocation of the Orders in Council— and the assurance to that Government, that if they should be abrogated, no blockades would be attempted under the direction of the British Cabinet, which should not be maintained by a competent naval force. The American National Intelligencer lias published Commodore Rodgers's Address to the Court of Impu- re, and the judgment of the Court. The Commo- dore acknowledges that he chased the Little Belt, which lie did supposing it to be the Gueriier, which had impressed au American named Deggio. The American papers contain the affidavit of a sea- man of Hie name of Atkins, w ho swears that he was a iiiiti\ h of the United States, anil wasimpressed into the EHgfcsfaservice ; that he was on board the Little Belt at ihe nine of the action with the President, and that the Little Belt fired tlie first shot; that another Ameri- can seaman, named Howell, was killed in the action, or at least died of his wounds shortly after it; that another American seaman, named Wheeler, was also on board, hot afterwards escaped; aud that m a 1 there were twelve impressed American citizens oil board the. l ittle Belt at the time of the action. A Utiriit uie was experienced at Portland, United . State*, on 31st Oct in w hich t3 vessels foundered, and damage was done to the amount of 250,000 dollars. The wounded of the army aud navy engaged in the conquest of Batavia are doing well. A reduction will take p ace in our Indian squadron, uow the enemy are si. oru of * ships aud colonies," iu that Quarter. 1,11 1 Cochrane lias acquired full 100,0001. in prices during the short tune he was afloat. Major John Lord Bnrghersh ( » ou of the Earl of Westmoreland) was GaaeUedoji Saturday Lieutenant- Colunel of 63d regiment. Tlie Duke of Clarence is said to liave made a uiatri- jmtwal overture fo Lord Keith's daughter. The paper which first states! the rumoured amount tit" the Prince Regent's - debts, uotv says, " that the ci'lits ofhis Royal Highness are not of that amount to leqiure any proposition to Parliament; and tliat with the same disposition to avoid making any addition to the public burthens which his Royal Higiiuess lias alr. ady evinced, tuny wiil be liquidated by setting a:> a: T a due proportion of hi* Royal Higiujess's ordinary iut- uine." The unfortunate Broker now in confinement for a bn aril of trust, hat. withiu these few days shown signs Of mental derangement. Government has at length issued a proclamation for the apprehension of any person concerned in the out- rages in Nottinghamshire, with a reward of ,£ 50 to the informant, on conviction of the offender; as like- wise the same reward and free pardon to any one of the depredators who may impeach his companions. The Corporation of Nottingham are also adopting the most vigorous antl determined measures to put an end to the riotous scenes: they have passed a vote to ap- propriate .£ 2000 out of their chamber- purse to the ap- prehension aud prosecution ofthe frame- breakers; out of which sum the mos* liberal rewards are offered to persons who may give even the most distant informa- tion which may lead to the detection of the offenders, and the names of such informants are to be kept a pro- found secret, with the exception of those who may be necessary to appear in court As evidences; and such persons who may thus come forward, in the face of threatened danger from the depredators, arc promised a reward of :£ 500 on conviction of the offenders. A like sum is offered to any person whose information may bring to justice the writer, inditer, or sender of an anonymous letter to the Mayor ot that town, threat- ening him with death, and his property with destruc- tion, if he does not comply with certain conditions therein named. The Corporation have obtained the sanction of Government for choosing a Committee of Secrecy for the appropriation of the above sum of money, without being subject hereafter to be called to an account as to the manner which such Committee may have thought well to apply it. Notwithstanding the adoption of such cogent measures, two more frames have been broken at Arnold, a village only four miles from Nottingham.— Rioters, and individuals who have collected money for their support, are daily brought to prison : one of whom has given information against severat of his deluded companions. A very extraordinary circumstance occurred on Sunday, in the neighbourhood of Battcrsea. Two gentlemen, who had been dining with a friend there, received a blunderbuss loaded, to protect themselves in going home. They were found in the morning lying in an adjoining field, one dead and the otlief wounded, it is feared mortally. The blunderbuss was found discharged beside them. The gentleman, who is still alive, lias not yet been able to give any account ofthe extraordinary transaction. A Dublin paper says—" On Thursday an inquest was held on tiie body of W. Green, a young sweep, who was dreadfully burnt on the 3d inst. by his fa- ther's lighting a faggot in a chimney, which the boy- had run up to escape his tyranny. After the testimo- ny of several witnesses, the jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased came by his death in consequence of being burnt by liis father, Luke Green." At twelve o'clock yesterday, the bodies of Mr. and Airs. Williamson, and the servant- maid, were conveyed amidst an immense concourse of spectators, to Shadwel! church. The service was read by the Rev, Mr. Davis in a most impressive maimer; but his feelings were so much overpowered, that both m the . church, and at the grave, the service was sus- pended for some few minutes, until he could recover himself The shops in the neighbourhood of the church were closed ; and the Magistrates having very judiciously stationed a considerable niimber of offi- cers in the church- yard, the, ceremony was conducted with the utmost solemnity, and without disorder. THE LATE MURDEltS. Shad well Police- Office.- On Sunday last, from pri- vate information obtained by Hewitt and Hope, two of the Police Officers atShadwell, they went iu search of a man named John Williams, and apprehended him in Wapping. On his person were found a duplicate for two pair of shoes pledged for 8s, and 11. 14s. in silver, with all. note. On Monday the prisoner was fir.- t examined, and the fact ofhis bavin little money in his pocket on the night of the fatal massacre of Mr. Williamson's family had been proved, fp- m iiis borrow- ing sixpence from tlie landlady of the. Pear- tree pub- lic- house; strong suspicions, however arose yesterday morning, ill consequence of the Magistrates having re- ceived a communication from Mr. Vcrmilloe, con- fined iu Newgate for debt. Immediately Mr. Cap- per proceeded to the prison, and held all official exa- mination, when it appeared that lie was the landlord of the Pear- tree public- house, Wapping, and that the prisoner was his lodger, and that he had a maul in his house, answering the description iu every respect of that found in the late Mr. Marr's iiouse. Ev- ry vigi- lance was immediately adopted, on receiving this ac- count, to obtain the attendance of persons likely to bring the mysterious business to an issue. About seven o'clock yesterday evening the prisoner was brought into the Pohce- Office, which was completely crowded. John Turner, the lodger, who made his escape from Wi. liamson'a Iiouse, attended. He describes to ti. e Magistrates the exact situation in which ne first de- scried the villain rifling the pockets of Mrs. William- son. He furtherstated, thai while he was going down stairs, he was sure he heard a ; slowly walking in the sitting room, that his shoe acked, and that he was confident the man couid not have nails in his shoes. When he got to the door, lie only saw one man in the position, and dressed iu the manner described in his examination before the Coroner. The prisoner was here brought forward, and the Magistrates particularly questioned the witness, whether he thought the pri- sonerat the bar was the man ? The witness could not state that he was, but said he had seen him two or three times in Williamson's house. Did not know whether he was in the Iiouse on Thursday t ight last. Mary Rice, was examined. She washed for the pri- soner for more than three years. Knew Ins stock of linen perfectly well; but had not washed for him the. last fortnight. The Magistrate here rigidly examined the witness :— Q. Have you not seen blood on his shirts? A. Yes, I have— on one of them.— Q. Have yon seen any blood ou his shirts since last Saturday week ? A. Yes, I have; one of his shirts was bloody about the collar, like the mark of two lingers.— Q. Was there no other part stained? A. I took no par- ticular notice ; the shirt was torn in the breast.— Q. Did you not take notice of the shirt being torn? A. Yes; but judged the prisoner had been quarrelling, aud so might have had the shirt torn.— Q. When was it you had this shirt without being torn? A. Last Thursday week.— Q. Will you swear there were no otlter marks of b ood on the shirt ? A. There was a little blood on the arms, and several spots on' other parts of the body ; but, taking no particular notice at the time, I washed it, and kept the shirt, in order to mend it.— Q. Have you washed out all the stains? A. I think I must, for I boiled it well in hot water.— Q What linen have you generally washed for the pri- soner? A. Four linen shirts, and some stockings; but never any white hamlkci chiefs— the prisoner used to wear black handkerchiefs. [ The prisoner wore a w hite neckcloth on his exami- nation.] The prisoner attempted to account for his shirt be- ing torn and bloody ; anil said he had been in company with some nidi, who prevailed on him to play at cards; he had played one game, and was going home, when lie was seized by the collar, and had his mouth cut. He related a conversation he had with Ins land- lady: but she denied his telling her the story as now related ; and it appeared the fracas was antecedent to Marr's murder. M rs. Vermilloe, who was very much affected at the sight of the maul, did not swear positively to it, but thought it very much resembled the one left at their house by J. Pearse, a former lodger, who quitted this country some time since. Harris aud Ciithburn, the prisoner's fellow lodgers, at the Pear- tree, stated, that the prisoner came home ou the morning ofthe murder about one o'clock : and the former, on loo- ing at the, maul, thought it was like the one he had seen the children play with. The eldest of these children, ( nephews of Mrs. Vermilloe,) a boy of eleven years of age, was sent for, and on being asked if he should know the large hammer again he had been used to play with, replied lie thought he should, as it was broken at tlie point. On the maul being shewn to him, he said he thought it was the • same; and that the last time he saw il was about a month ago. The prisenerattempted to speak ; but the first ques- tion he asked was of such a tendency that lie was de- sired to desist. The Magistrates, on account of the lateness of the hour, postponed the further investigation. riANKRl'PTS PROM SATURDAY'S GAZETTE. JOHN GARNT&, Southampton- street, Middle- sex, d. c. Decem- ber 28.

ACCOUNTS from Dublin of Monday evening l ist, communicate tlic information of the Catho- lic Coi mittce having met according to adjournment, ai lie Theatre, in Fish- shamble- street, Dublin, and of their having been dispersed by the Magistrates, who arrested the iwo Chairmen, Lords Fingal and Nettcrville. A great crowd were assembled about the Theatre; hut we have no! heard of any disturbances b . ving taken place, though attempts to produce them do not seein to have bel li wanting. One Dublin paper, after giving an account of the proceedings, < id<—" Not the smallest manifestation to riot or irregularity appeared among the populace, several hundreds of whom were in the vicinity of the Theatre. Had they expressed a sense of the indignity put upon the head of their aristocracy, in the same way that the Nottingham rioters have remonstrated about tb. privations of the belly, what a delnge of human blood won! 1 flow in the streets of this city?"— There are few who will not be ol opinion, that Government have act'd in this instance with great forbearance— with a forbearance that was at last mistaken for fear. Both Houses of Parliament will proceed to the dispatch of business immediately on their meeting on the 7th of January. The sloop Eu'i. rprize is arrived at Plymouth from CoMinna, winch place she left on the 11th instant. The Snrveillante, Unicorn, and Iris frigates, sailed from Corunna three days previous to the departure of the Enterprizc. Tt » as reported there that those ships were gone to St. Sebastian's, to make'an attark on the batteries, and to secure a French frigate and corvette, which, it was said, were lying at anchor in that harbour. Master Henry West Kt tty, the once popular litis- cius, who was hunted alter bv ad the empire, is now limiting himself, not after theatrical fame or fortune, bnt alter hares and foxes; bets now one ofthe first sportsmen in Shropshire, presiding atsomc ofthe prin- cipal hunts in the comity. A certain Dowager Countess, on the wrong side of sixty, resident not many miies from Hampton Court, has formed a sudden resolution to " blanch her sables," ami no loiiger " waste hersweetsm single blessedness." Disda n ng oU1 parchments and dirty acres, she has actually fallen in love with a private soldier in the 18th, purr based i is discharge, and is going to marry him imm diutety. As a gentleman was walking up Westminster- road, a few nights since, about 11 o'clock, he received the contents of a blunderbuss in bis breast, and imme- diately expired. Another gentleman, who was walk- ing after him, observed that it was discharged from the balcony of an opposite house. On inquiry, the Lady of the house said, her son, a hoy about 14 years of age, had frequently expressed aw ish to fire off the blunderbuss and that his father being absent, he took that opportunity to do so. On learning its fata! effect she told the boy he would be hanged, on which he rti- lied out of the house; exclaiming, " I will drown myself in tile Thames," aud has not since been heard of. AMERICAN THEATRICALS.— Cooke has been lately playing at New York. By the report of a gentleman arrived last week from thence, he played King I. ear for his own benefit, ii. very high spirits. A few nights before, he refused to go on the stage till the band had played " God save the King." This was for some time resisted hy tiie American auditory, but the. Eng- lish actor wa.- inflexible, and they were at length com- pelled to submit, rather than lose the opportunity of witnessing his in mitable performance. A curious in- stance of iiis native spirit of independence occurred a tew weeks ago;— A charitable . subscription was hand- ed about the city ; the sums subscribed w ere from one to i'i dollars each. Mr. Cooke was appphed to; he immediately wrole down— Cooke, the Englishman, One Hundred Dollars. THE LATE MURDERS. Mr. Alderman Wood anil Mr. Alderman Atkins went yesterday to Newgate, for the purpose of inter- rogating Air. Vermilloe, the landlord of John Willi- ams, now in custody, touching the maul with which Mr. Marr and family had been murdered. In the gaol they found Mrs. Vermilloe with her husband, and botli of them underwent a very minute examina- tion : the risnlt of which has afforded a clue towards tracin; the murders home to the offenders. Mrs. Vermilloe gave decisive testimony as to the blood- stained instrument. It turns out, that the prisoner bas gone by another name besides Williams; and that, instead of being a Scotchman, as he represented him- self to the Magistrates of Shadwell Office, he is a native of Ireland. Other matters came out, which prudence requires to be withheld from publicity, until the farther examination of the prisoner shall take place. Mr. Vermilloe likew ise gave information of ano- ther in in, whom he conceived to have been concerned in the late inhuman murders.— The Magistrates im- mediately forwarded directions to the different offi- cers to go in pursuit, and late last night every exer- tion was used to find out the man alluded to, and we have the pleasure to state, no doubts are entertained • ofhis detection. As far as can officially be learnt, there were only- two men concerned in these atrocities. Williams, previous to tlie murders, had large red whiskrrs, which seem to have been cut oft' ttry re- cently before his apprehension, and his hair is cut in a different manner to what it was before : he is about live feet nine inches in height, of au insinuating man- ner and pleasiug countenance, and not lame, as stated in some of the papers. He is confined in Cold- bath- ficlds Hoii « e of Correction, aud heavily ironed. The English Chronicle states that the ripping chi ssel which was found in Williamson's house was also identified bv Mr. Vermilloe. < § Iocestet\ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28. LIBERAL EDUCATION.

To enumerate tlie various classes of individuals to whom the present work will he highly acceptable, would be to particularize almost every description of mankind. The scholar, under the tuition of a master, would find his labours greatly abridged, by a reference to such a treatise. The mechanical youth and man of business will find all that is necessary to qualify for the shop and counting- house. Those who have missed the advantages of a liberal education, may here sup- ply tlie defects, aud the experienced scholar may find iiis account in reviewing the earlier part of his edu i ation.

Ou Monday, the election of a representative for the borough of Shrewsbury, in the room of the late Sir Thomas Jones, took place, when the Honourable Henry Grey Bennett was elected without opposition. On Tuesday last, at a meeting of the Corporation of Bristol, a respectful Petition was agreed on, to be presented to the Prince Regent, praying the sus- pension of distillation from corn. Tiie nuptial ceremony between Mr. Wellesley Pole and MissTilncy Long will take place at Chippenham, Wilts, in a very short time. Great preparations are making for the event. A new London Saturday's paper comes out on the first Saturday of the new year, entitled The Rifleman. — See adrt. We have to record another daring attempt at rob- bery iu this city, which equals iu audacity the one we lately mentioned as having taken place at Mr. Mut- low's.— Between eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday evening last, while all the family were from home ex- cept his sister, the house of Mr. Matthew Ryder, mercer, of the Westgate- street, was found to have been entered ( it is supposed while the window shutters were being put up) by some person, who remained concealed. On the return of the maid- servant, who had been sent on an errand, and had taken the key with her in order that she might let herself in, she found the door barred on the inside; rather surprised at this circumstance, she rang the bell; when Miss Rvder, going to admit her, found herself fastened in the parlour, and the key taken out of the djnr. She instantly broke the window and gave tlie alarm, when a gentleman passiugjat the linieatlempterfto force open the street- door, but without sifccess; at length an en- trance was effected by means of a door which commu- nicated with the next house, and a strict search com- menced, but no one was found; and it is supposed he must have escaped through a back window, or through a bed- room window looking into College- court, both of which were found open. Some police officers, ac- companied hy the neighbours, armed, went over the roofs cf the adjoining houses, but ive arc sorry to say the villain was not met with. Caution to Parenls.— On Monday last, the child of a poor person in this city, about a year and a half old, iu the absence of its mother, drank some boiling water out of a tea- pot, which caused its death iu a short time. • Friday, a grenadier belonging to the South Glo- ccster militia, at Plymouth Dock, was killed by a blow from a poker, given by one of a party of seamen with whom he had quarrelled at the Lord Colling- wood public- house.— Two hundred and forty of this regiment have marched into George- square barracks, Plymouth, from Maker, Drake's Island, and Ycahnp- ton battery, where they have been doing duty for sonic time past. On Tuesday last Charles Blicl: alias Make was com- mitted to our county goal bv Henry Burgh and Henry Cooke, Fsips. charged wivli steabiH*. a quantity of coiil from the Thames aud Severn Wharf, at Stroud, the property of Mr, Thos. Gardner.— And on Thurs- day, Anne Roberts, by the Rev R. Hallifax, charged with stealing some Inn row- irons, the property of Mr. George Stroud, of Haresfield. Notwithstanding the caution given in our last Herald, Win. Nichols, the turnpike- keeper, at Littleworth- gatc, near this city, was, on Saturday last convicted in nine separate penalties of 51. each, iu addition to eight which he had before incurred, for exacting higher tolls than lite Act prescribes. Lately at Ross, Mr. Watkins, ofthe Old Gore Turnpike, was fined in the sum of forty shillings, for charging a waggon laden with timber with the same toll as a regular timber carriage. We understand it is in contemplation shortly to call a meeting of the inhabitants of Cheltenham, for the purpose of forming a society for procuring a con- stant supply of sea- fish, at a moderate price. A person was ou Tuesday convicted before the Magistrates of Worcester of having used an illegal net in the river Severn, and a fine was levied ac- cordingly. On the same day, a large quantity of salmon, out of season, was seized at Welshpool, and the offender was convicted, and paid the penalty of 20s. besides forfeiting his fish and panniers. On Thursday last, John Willi.-, master, and Tho- mas Lawrence, servant, were convicted before the Rev. J. Neal, the former in the penalty of five pounds, for using 5 horses in a narrow wheeled coal waggon, on the turnpike road between Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. During the storm last week, the inhabitants of Ledbury were alarmed by a most tremendous explo- sion of thunder, accompanied with an extremely vivid flash of lightning, and which, on the approach of day, was discovered to have struck Hie beautiful spire of their parish church. The electric fluid ap- pears to have dislodged some stones from their places, destroyed tile shingles of the windows, stopped the motion of the clock in the tower, displaced one of the bars ofthe frame, aud damaged the masonry. The form of the spire remains at present unaltered, but it is feared tlie mischievous effects will be in- creased by future tempests. A man has been apprehended at Swansea, in whose possession picklock keys and a variety 0f implements used in housebreaking were found, and but for this timely discovery, doubtless that town aud neighbour- hood would have severely suffered from his depre- dations, as be is suspected of being connected w ith a large gang. Nothing could be proved against him ; bnt an officer from Plymouth took him there, on sus- picion of having robbed Sir E. Pellew's house of a large quantity of plate some months ago. He answers the description of one of the gang who robbed the Falmouth Bank in February last. An accomplice, of the name of Law- ton, who was engaged ill both transactions, has turned evidence, and the police of Plymouth and Falmouth have long been looking after the: above man. A case, very interesting to farmers and other occu- piers of land, was decided last week before Sir John D. King, Bart. Mr. C. Townsend, and other Com- missioners of Taxes for the county of Bucks:— It was an appeal, brought by James Woodrowe, gamekeeper to Sir Wm. Clayton, Bart, for the manor of Great Marlow, against a surcharge made on him for 101. on the estimated income of 1001. per annum, arising from profit by the sale of rabbits, taken in the preserves within the said manor. After a full hearing of the case, the surcharge was confirmed by the Commis- sioners, and the money ordered to be immediately paid, which was complied with. By this decision, it appears that the profit, which in some manors is derived to private persons, from preserves, is liable to be rated to the income tax, and consequently to the poor also. A new London weekly paper ( The Dissenter), fs announced for the first day of the new year.— See advl. At a meeting of the Corporation of Worcester, on Wednesday, it was unanimously agreed to appoint a watchman to each parish, for the nightly protection of that city. On Wednesday night the workshop and counting house of Mr. Perry, currier, in Kidderminster, was broken open and a large quantity of dressed leather, black Spanish skins, and cow- leather, together with some silver and copper coin, stolen thereout; and on the follow ing night, the premises of Mr. Hill, baker, of the same place, were entered by means of pick- lock keys, and a quantity of flour was carried away. A patent has been obtained for a method of pre- serving animal and vegetable food, & c. a long time from perishing.— Inclose the food in bottles, or other vessels ef glass, pottery, or tin, the apertures of which are to be so completely closed as to exclude all commmiication from the external air: this may be done by corking, wiring, cutting, or cementing. The vessels thus charged and closed, are wrapped in straw or warm cloths, and put into a boiler of cold water, and then gradually heated to boiling, and the ebullition is to be continued a certain time. Vege- table substances are to be put into the vessel in a raw state, and animal, substances may or may not be half cooked.

SIR, THE Advertisement in the Cheltenham Paper, sigued John Yeates, strikes me as being so very singular and absurd, that I cannot resist my inclination to notice it. He affects to despise the attempts of those whom he offers a reward of 201, for a conviction of. He says, " I am charged, forsooth, with being the Poor Mao's Friend."— A wonderful charge in- deed!!! ( IF MADE); but however false it may be, it cannot be malicious: though perliaps Mr. Y. might consider 20/. well laid out to have such a charge clearly proved. As to any paper which the Gentlemen of a liberal Profession may have signed to injure Mr. Y. or any other person, I cannot learn any thing of it, unless he means to admit that he is an irregular Practitioner, and alludes to the Law Society; iu which case I should conceive his presumption very great indeed to suppose himself, ( which he vainly may), of sullicieut conse- quence to attract their attention, Your's, A CONSTANT READER.

On Saturday, January 4th, 1812, will be Published, PRICE EtfcllT PENCE HALFPENNY, ( With a Sunday Edition, containing Saturday's Ga- zette, and latest news.) A new London Weekly Paper, entitled THE RIFLEMAN. " Shoot folly as it flies." EXTRACT FROM THE F- ROSPECTUS. OF the Political Tenets of the RIFLEMAN, it i « not our purpose to go into any detail here, The complexion of them will be found in our first number^ in a letter addressed to the Prince Regent. The pre- sent state of things is founded in vice and error; and has been persisted in, till its continuance appears to some people as an object of political necessity :— as there are some diseases, certain stages of which are deemed, bv the ignorance and conceit of practitioner", to be bevond the reach of remedy, Ti. e political Quacks of the times are not only to be found in abun- dance in the list Of Privv Counsellors, but among the most noisy of their opponents. We believe in the necessity of refor- n, but do uot stake our faith upon the promises of every reformer. Among the tempe- rate and candid, but firm advocates of a radical change of policy, the RIFLEMAN will take his stand; and his fire will be kept up equally on the bnw. itig sinecurist, who declares all change to be an evil; and the indis- criminate reformer, whom no change can satisfy. By the above observations it will be seen that this paper will not class among those numerous publi- cations which affect to see nothing in the whole ma- chinery ofthe State but CORRUPTION : that seize only on those subjects for discussion which they can make to bear on the dangerous position that England has seen her glorious climacteric, and is rapidly passing into degeneration and decline. The deadening in- fluences of this doctrine would go to sink the nation into that hopelessness of effort which obscures every purpose with the presentiment of de eat. It would palsy that power of the public mind which susia ns the character and the cause of our country; and without which our soldiery were but. a military fantoccini; the " pride, pomp and circumstance" of war, with all its crimes, but without any portion of its security. It will rather he our object to cherish and pr , inote those national qualities which distinguish tiie British people; which eqttallv characterise the magaaninnty of their anger, and the romantic wanderings of their amity; ahdin which the Constitution, in the end, will find its best security, and the State its ablest defence.

To be continued weekly, No. I, of an original News- paper, entitled THE DISSENTER. IT is customary, in the prospectus of a new peri- odical work, to enter into a laboured detaii of its principles and its purposes; and to advance some proof of the claims which it has of its ow n, beyond the pretence of supplying tbe deficiencies of others, ' ihis practice has subjected the world to many impositions; by accustoming it to judge of the merit of a work by the splendour ofthe title- page. We are not ambition* of being ranked among those of our competitors who would shoot a rocket into tlie sky as a sample of a squib. It will be inferred from onr title that we take the broad beaten track ef reform. We take this road without feeling it necessary to subscribe to the purity or the piety of the whole of our travelling compani- ons. The vice of the times is not confined to the pro- fligacy of the higher orders. A great portion of the I rofessedreformers are constantly countenancing, prac- tising, and disseminating ihe grossest and most odious libels on good sense and good manners. Corruption, like a gangrene, effects its progress in every direction, ' Its roots penetrate as deep into the earth, as its blanches extend into the air.' On the subject of our contemporaries it ma> be in- vidious for us to animadvert at mif length. We should perhaps be moie justified in speaking respectfully of their abilities than their designs or their practices. Newspapers are no longer restricted to parties. Al- most every political man, of any eminence in point of wealth, or ascendancv iu point of talent, may be said to have his paper. Yet during Ihis eternal competition of party purpose and personal influence, the great body ofthe Dissenters ofthe united kingdom, distinguished as they are by exemplary manners aud thinking habits, have remained, with the exception of a feeble and sectarian print, unclaimed and nnadvocateil. The times are rapidly approaching in which the religious interests of the State appear destined to undergo some political modifications. In preparation for that period, a period to which we look forward with mingled feel- ings of sorrow and solicitude— of hope and apprehen- sion, we take our political post. Owing to the pecu- liar events of the age ill which we live, the great in- terests of men have been merged in affairs of State : Every thing has assumed a political complexion; and the ablest and best writers of tiie times have been cal- led into the service of temporary concerns. In tho work of reform it will be the. leading motive and am- bition of THE DISSENTERtocontnbiitehisineans. To promote a general discipline of onr national manners; to endeavour to correct and christianize the public habits and feelings, though it may be a labour which we shall have to divide with few of our contemporaries, will constitute au equal object to ns with the more political character of our exertions. We shall not shrink from meeting the events of the times, however formidable the hazard of intrepid discussion may be- come. To strip tbe advocates of war of the political blandishments of time- serving interests: to oppose the system that would confound causes with purposes— the ends of justice with the ends of policy, will form a work, Ihe danger of which is justified only by the im- portance ofthe cause in which it is encountered. Some letters addressed respectively to Mr. Wilber- force, Mr. Roscoe, Lord Sidmouth, & c. will appear , among the first efforts of the work. To the original portion of political matter, and gene, ral religious information, a compendium of the week's news will be given; so digested as to exclude the idle and vapid trash with which the columns of our Journals arc so frequently crowded. The Dissenter offers an eligible medium of advertise- ment ; it being the only paper that will be common to the interests ofthe Dissenting World. Orders for this Paper received by the Book- sellers and Postmasters ofthe United Kingdom. Agents for this Paper will be immediately appointed in the different British settlements; anil no expence will be spared to render it the most general, as it is in- tended to be the inosteffectual representative of an im- mense portion of the population of the British empire.

Yes.— Did yon, at either of those times, mention the circum- stance of liav ing seen Lord Berkeley come out of Far- ren's house in the summer of 1735? No, I did not; I thought of it before and after, but not at that time.— Before and afti r which times, for there was an inter- val of a fortnight between the examinations?

I knowed it when I saw him.— Had you men- tioned that circumstance to any body before Mr. Griffith examined you ? No, I had not.— Had you, at nnv time after it happened from the year 1785, ever ineniioiied it to anyone before Mi. Griffith - poke to von ? I cannot say that 1 had, it is so many years ago. — Do you remember that you had? No. I cannot say that I di :.— How do you know that you yourself thought of this circumstance of seeing Lord Berke- ley at Farren's house, before Mr. Griffith spoke to yon on tiie subject? It came- ill my mind that I knew and recollected it perfectly well.— Before Mr. Grif- fith spoke to you about il?

I dare say I might mention it, but I cannot, say to whom.— Do you remember in point of fact, that you did men- tion i! to anybody ; will you swear that you remember, that you did mention it to anybody ? Yes, I can safe- ly swear I did mention it to somebody; but I can- not say lo whom.— Upon what occasion did you mention it to anybody? If I did at all, it was talking about Lord Berkeley and Lady Berke- ley.— When was there anv occasion when yon were talking about Lord and Lady Berkeley ? Indeed I cannot tell.— How long ago? I have talked often about her, since she has been at the Castle.— Can you now fix any time in the course of your life since 1785, that yon mentioned this to any person before a fort- night ago ? No ; I did not mention it to any person that, I can tell; I dare say, I did not mention it.— What time of the day was it you saw Lortl Berkeley come out? It might be as much as eleven o'clock; it was on a summer evening.— Eleven o'clock at nigliR? Yes.— Were yon alone? I lived in the Bell- lane, and I went over to Mrs. Farren's, to see for Mrs. Cole to come to my house; I had a child very ill at the time, for her to come to it; and I saw him come ont of the house as I went in.— When you went into the house, did you find any qf the family np ? I did not go iu any further than just to the door; Mrs. Cole came over to me.— Was Mrs. Cole up when you went to the house? Yes; she came out directly.— She was dressed and up? Yes; she had her things on, and came over with me.— Was Mrs. Cole at that time living in Farren's house? Yes; she slept as often at my house as she did at Farren's.— Was sire living an inmate in Farren's house in Sonthgate- street at that time? Yes; she was there.— Were her daughters living there with her? Mrs. Fan- en and Lady Berke- ley were there.— Were either of them np? I cannot tell; I did not go into the house; I cannot say whe- : titer they were up oi not.— Cannot you say, whether there appeared to be any other person up in the house? I cannot say whether they were up, for she went away with me directly ; I lived in the lane just oppo- site.— Was it dark? It was not very dark, nor very- light; it was a summer evening.— Did you speak to anybody there ? No ; I spoke to nobody.— Lord Berkeley came very near to you ? He came out of the house ; he did not come near to me.— Did he see you ? I cannot tell.— Was lie near enough to see you ? I was near enough to see him ; I knew him.— How near were you to him ? He was just coming out of the door as I went in.— Did he know you before? I had known him with the regiment at Glocester, and I have been very often at the house of Mrs. Mears, the mother of Mrs. Lumley, who is here; and I have let liitu in there many times, and given him answers. — How was he dressed ? Ill his regimentals.— You are sure of that ? Yes. — What were his regimentals ? I knew his regimental clothes ; I have seen him scores of times with them; but I cannot say as to his clothes exactly, I did not take so much notice of them.— Do you know what mouth it was in? I cannot say what month, it was ill the summer of 1785.— Do you remember the militia being out in that year? No, I do not.— Were there any other officers of the militia in the town besides Lord Berkeley at that time? I cannot tell, there might be ; I cannot tell about them. — You were living at that time in the city of Gloces ter? Yes. — Do you remember about the same time seeing any of the officers or serjeants assembled in the town at the time you saw Lord Berkeley? Tlie Ser- jeants, corporals, and fifes were always kept embodi- ed all the year round.— Do you remember seeing them in their regimentals about that time ? I dare say I might have seen them, for they were there and in their regimentals all the time, especially on Sundays. — Was it on a Sunday you saw Lord Berkeley ? I should rather think it was not— Did you mention to Mrs. Cole that you had seen Lord Beikeley come out of the house ? I do not recollect saying any thing to her, but I thought it very odd.— As you thought it very odd, did not you say something to her about if? I do not recollect mentioning it to the mother — You knew that Mary Cole was at that time in Farren's house? Yes, I have seen her there in those months. — Did you know that she was married or not then? No, I did not know about her being married.— Y'on conceived her not to be married? No, I did not know about her being married.— Did not you think it a thing fit to be mentioned to the mother, that Lord Berkeley was coming out, at that time of the night, of the house where her unmarried daughter was ? I might mention it, or might not, I cannot re- collect.— Having seen Lord Berkeley come out of that house, a butcher's house ? No, not a butcher's house; he kent no butcher's shop there.— It was small house at " the corner of Bell- lane ? Yes.— There was no shop Lord Berkeley could have gone to at that time of the night ? No.— Did not you ask Mrs. Cole what his Lordship was doing there at that time of the night? I might tell her of it or might not, it is out of my power to recollect.— You do not remember whether you did tell her of it? No, might or might not, I cannot say.— The next time you saw Mrs. Farren did you mention it to her ? I do not know that I mentioned it to any of them.— Did not you mention to any of them, " What was this Noble Lord doing at your house at this time of night"? I do not know that I said any thing to her about it one way or the other.— Did Mrs. Cole, when she came over to your house, remain with you for some time after that? She might go backwards and for wards, or go the next morning; sometimes she slept at my house, and Sometimes at Fan- en's.— Did you continue to see her daily for some time after that? I saw her sometimes ; I mightgo in there once or tw ice a week, and sometimes I did not go so often.— Yoti lived very near where she was living? I did.— Did yon continue to see her almost every day ? Not every day; I did not; but I very often saw her.— Did you see Mary Cole the next day?, I cannot say that I did. — Were you in the habit of frequently seeing her af- terwards? Oh'vcs, many times I saw her.— Did you see Mrs. Fan- en tiie next day afterwards? I cannot say the next day ; I saw her afterwards, I dare say we went into another business soon after this.— Did you see Mr. Fallen? Yes, I saw Mr. Farren every day.— Was there anybody else living in Farren's house at that time besides Farren and his wife, Mary Cole and the mother? Not that I know of; I never saw any person there for a continuance; there was a per- soniof the name of Miller used to be there, but whe- ther the ever slept there I cannot tell.— Did you not say, that very soon after this yon went into some other business? I went in September to the Bear Inn; I went about a house very soon after to the place of passage at Newuham, but we did not take it.— You went to look after a place, but you did not leave t> ell lane till the September following? No. - You conti I ttued therefore « uw neighbour - of Sir. Farrce till then? Yes, I did.— And you were in the almost daily habit of seeing every person that lived in that house ? Yes, when I went over there ; because their house was at the top of the street, and mine at the bottom.— Did not they come to you, or you come to them, almost every day ? Not almost every day, but once or twice a week or so I used to go over to them. — Will you now say that yon did, to any one mem- ber of that family, mention that circumstance at the time, or afterwards, of your having seen Lord Berkeley come out of the house at eleven at night? I will not take upon me to say it. Did it not strike you as an extraordinary circum- stance, seeing a nobleman come out of the house at that time of night? Yes, I recollect thinking of it at the time.— Did it not create suspicion in your mind, that he hail some improper purpose for being at that house? The witness was directed to withdraw. Mr. Moore objected to the question. The Solicitor General w as heard in support of the question. The Counsel were directed to withdraw. The Counsel were again called ill. The witness was again called in, and the question read as follows: Did it not create suspicion in your mind, that he had some im- proper purpose for being at that house? I thought it was very odd for him to be there at that time.— You recollect the time the circumstance of a very young person that was ill the house, an unmarried young woman in the house? I do not recollect who was in the house ; I never went into the house.— Yon knew Mary Cole was there? She was there, I supposed, and Mrs. Farren was there.— Did it not excite a suspicion in your mind that Lord Berkeley was going for the purpose of seeing that young woman? Or seeing some one I should think.— Do you mean some man or some woman that was in tiie house? I cannot tell what he went for, but I saw him come out.— Did it not. as a prudent woman, strike yon at the time? It did at the time; I wondered what brought him there.— Did it not create suspicions in jour mind that he caine there for the purpose of visiting some of the females of the familj < I dare say I thought so at the time.— Did you not mention it to the mother aud sister at the time ? 1 might mention t to the mother and sister at the time; but I cannot recollect it at this time.— Do you remember any answer that you received from anybody to whom you did mention it ? No, I cannot tell; I dare say I did mention it; but I cannot remember now, it. is a great while ago.— Did you mention it in the town to anybody? Most likely I did, if I mentioned it to anybody ; I was not ont of the town for many years. You do not recollect any person to whom you mentioned it at all? I do not recollect to whom I mentioned it; but I dare say I mentioned it in con- versation many times.—- You were acquainted with Cole the father? Yes.— You remember his death? Very well.— Do von remember his family going into mourning after his death ? They djd not stop long after his death ; I believe about a fortnight or three weeks. They came to my house after the father died. After a fortnight or three weeks, did they then go oft' to London any part of the family ? Lady Berkeley and her sister Susan did.— About a fortnight or three weeks after the father's d » atli ? Yres.— Are you sure they did riot stop longer than that? I do not think they did They were at your house ? Yes.— A'oti remember the father's death ? Yes, I do.— After the father's death they came over to your house ? They came to my house. I was there at the father's funeral. Did they come over to your house soon after the funeral? They did.— How soon after? I cannot say; but I fancy in the course of a week after.— I cannot say how long.— In the course of a week after the father's death they came immediately to your house at Glo- cester J Yes,— Was it from your house that Susan and Mary went in the coach, for the purpose of going into service? It was,— From your house in Gloces- ter? Yes.— And that was about a fortnight or three weeks after the father's death? Yes, it was.— What coach was it they set off in? I cannot sr. y; my husband went with them, I did not.— Is your husband living? No, he is not.— Was it the coach to London ? Yes.— Did they mine back again ? Mary came back, but not Susan.— When was it that Mary came back ? I cannot exactly say how long it was, it might be three mouths, or four, or more ; I cannot say-— Will you sw. car that you saw her again at all in the course of that year in which they had set off, Susan and Mary, to go to London? Yes.— You know I speak now of the year in w hich old Cole died ? No; he died near Christmas, not in that year ; he died in 1783 ; and this was in 1784.— You were at the funeral ? Yes. — In about a week afterwards they came over to your house in Glocester the same year that Cole died in ? Yes.— And in about a fortnight after that, Susan and Mary set off to go to London ? It might be a fortnight, three weeks, or a month, but thereabouts they went to London from my house.— How soon after they had set off, Susan anil Mary and your husband, to go in the roach to London, will you swear it was before yon saw either of them come back to Glocester ? I saw Mary come back, but whether it was two months, or three, or four I cannot tell; but it was within a year from that day.— Was it in the summer or the winter, or utwhat period of the year? She went from my house to Mrs. Foote's, she came back to me and stopped till she went to Mrs. Foote's, when she came back from London.— Do I understand you that she and her sister went out to service, then she came back again ; . and then Mary went to Mrs. Foote's ? Yes that is it.— Do you know whose service it was she first went into? Yes.— Whose? Lady Talbot's she told me.— When first Susan and Mary went away, it was to go into Lady Talbot's service ? Yes.— What period of the year was it that she came back to Glo cester after having gone to Lady Talbot's service ? She stopped a very little time at Lady Talbot's, she was not well, ttnd came back to Glocester.— Do you remember what time of the year ; was it the summer, or the autumn, or the winter, or the spring when she came back? I cannot say to the time; I believe it was warm, but I cannot tell whether it was warm weather or no, what time it was I cannot say.— What became of her after she came back from Lady Talbot's, before she went to Mrs. Foote's? She came to me, and was at my house.— Was she at your house all the time ? Yes she was.— Was she doing nothing all that time ? She had employment of sewing and reading, or what she o. lmsed to do.-— Was her mother at your house then? Yes, she was.— Was her mother at that time employed as a nurse? She was atone place and another; she nursed me, and at several places in tiie city.--- jShewent out to service as a nurse ? Yes.— And during that time tbe daughter was at your house? Yes, till she went to Mrs. Foote's.— She was not at all employed except at needle work? No; inv husband was clerk to tlie collector, and we lived private.— Who paid you for her board and main- tenance? We did not charge any thing for her board and maintenance; she was welcome to be there that short time.— It was but a short time? It was until she went to Mr. Foote's.— Was it a few months? She was very useful to me in doing things for me and the children.— Yon kept her for nothing; yon received no compensation for her board? No.— Nobody paid you for her board? No ; she did work for the, and slie was welcome to be there, being used to one ano- ther for along time before,— It was but a short time yon say, before she went to Mrs. Foote's ? I cannot say how long.— Did not you say it was but for a short time, and you received nothing ? I received nothing, be it longer or shorter; she was with me till she was engaged to Mrs. Foote; I cannot say how iong it was. — Did not you just now say it was but for a short time she was with you, and therefore you re- ceived nothing for her board ? I. cannot tell now long it was; I do not think it was but for a short time before she, ilid go to Mrs. Foote's. — Do you mean ttrsay, it was for a short time or not i far a short time? I eaauoj tell; but I believe it was but for a short time ; it niith- l be a nioith tr two, or three, or four, I cannot tell.—- You remember per- haps, her being taught to dress hair before she went to Mrs. Foote's? I remember something about it.— Do yon remember who hired her to go to Mrs. Foote's? It was on the recommendation of Mrs, Horseman, of the Post- Office ; but I believe Mrs. Nest hired her at Mr. Mec's, in Glocester.— When you were asked about the family going into mourning on the death of the father, you said that tiiev bought a few- things before they went off from Gloccster? I think they bought only a few things, but I cannot pretend to say what. — Do yon remember that the mother went into mourning on her husband's death ? Yes, she did.— Did Mrs. Farreii go into mourning on the death ot her father ? Yes, she did,— Did Mary Cole go into mourning on her father's death ? They made up a few things; I cannot pretenil to say what she did after she went to London.— Were those few things they did make up things for monrning? Yes, they were.— Such as were fitting for daughters to go into mourning on the death of a father? Yes, they were. — Did Susan go into mourning? They bought some- thing a- piece.— For mourning? Yes.— When Mary came back was she in mourning? I cannot recollect whether she was or not.— Surely you must be able to remember ? I cannot recollect.— In the course of the year, after the father's death, did you see Mary in coloured clothes or mourning? I cannot recollect whether she had mourning or no, lint I should suppose mourning, because she always wished to go decent.— You remember her buying a few things for the pur- pose of mourning, before she went to London ? Yes, I remember the mother having money, and giving them to by mourning and things.— Oo you remember the mother borrowing the sum of ten guineas of a per- son of the name of Brown? I remember the mother having ten guineas of a person of the name of Brown. — Was that after the death of the father that the ten guineas were borrowed of Brown? To the best of my knowledge it was for a stack of hay and a vessel of beer.— You can remember, as this daughter; when she came back, continued in your boiise, whether it was two, three, or four months before she went into Mrs. Foote's service, whether she was then in mourn- ing or not ? I cannot take upon me to say that.— According to the best of your recollection? I can- not take upon myself to be certain to say it.— Do yon think she was or not? I really cannot say.— Is it not the practice of lhat place for daughters of persons in that condition in life, to go into mourning after their father's death?— Mr. Moore objected to the question. Mr. Solicitor General was beard in answer to the ob- jection. The question was ordered to be put.— Cer- tainly out of respect to the dead; but I cannot tell Whether she had mourning or not when she came back. -- Do you remember that there was anything ont of the common course that you took notice of at the time ; did anything strike you in this family out of the common course? They did in Lady Berkeley's appearance.— What did you observe in Lady Berke- ley's appearance? Something singular from any young person I ever knew,— In what respect? In her manners and conversation, and everything.-— The ques- tion now relates to her dress ; she was always decent- ly and well dressed? She was always as creditable as any tradesman's daughter need to be.— If it was the practice for tradesmen's daughters to go into mourn- ing after the death of their father, would it not have struck you if she hail not gone into mourning? I can- not pretend to say about her being in mourning when she came back.— Lady Berkeley used to dress as well as persons in that condition of lite? Yes.— Cannot you remember whether in this respect, whether it was to testify respect to her father's memory, she deviated from that that was common, and put on coloured (• loathes? I cannot remember, I dare say she did not. — You do not remember at the time, being struck at Lady Berkeley's doing anything different from the common course ? I remember, that she was very diffe- rent from the common course of people.— Do you re- member anything different as to dress in. that year? I cannot tell as to her dress, she always was neat and clean ; I cannot tell whether she had mourning or not. — Did she go into coloured cloathes three months af- ter her father's death? No.-- If you had seen her in coloured cloathes two or three months after her fa- ther's death, would not thai circumstance have struck yon? It cannot strike me to know whether she had it then or not, I cannot tell whether she had ; I can- not say whether she had It or not.— You have told us what is the general practice of Glocester ; namely, for children to go into mourning after the death of their father? Yes.— Would it not have struck you if in this instance this person who was decently and pro- perly dressed, put on coloured cloathes immediately after her father's death ? She had some black clothes when she went away, but I cannot tell what she had when she came back, whether she was in mourning or not. Re- examined.

In the butcher low— Where is that? In the Westgate- street.— At that time when Lady Berkeley resided at your house, was she also frequently at Farren's ? Yes; siie was The night when you went to Farren's, and when you saw Lord Berkeley come out; you stated that you had a child ill, and oil that account went to Mrs. Cole? I did.— And you saw Mrs. Cole come out al- most immediately? Yes.— Was your mind chiefly oc- cupied at the time about your child? Yes.— At the time yon were examined by Mr. Griffith, you have stated that this circumstance of your seeing Lortl Berkeley did not occur to your recollection ? No, it did not at that time.— If it had occurred to you, would you have mentioned it to Mr. Griffith ? Yes.— Dii) Mr. Griffith ask you any questions about Lord Berkeley's going into Farren's house ? He asked me whether I recollected Lord Berkeley going into Far- ren's house in Westgate- street, and I said no. — Do you mean that Mr. Griffith asked you that question ? Mr. Griffith asked me if ever I saw Lord Betkeley there in the Westgate- street,— The house out of which you saw Lord Berkeley come was the corner of Bell- lane in Southgate- street? Yes, it was. Examined by the Lards, You have stated, that, before your examination hy Mr. Griffith, and after your examination by Mr. Whitcombe, you recollected this circumstance, but that yon did not recollect when you were examined by Mr. Griffith? No, I did not.— Hoiv happened it that you recollected this in the, intermediate time; what brought it to your mind ? I do not know ; I recollected seeing birn come out.— No particular circumstance came into your mind to make you recollect this ? No more than recollecting going there to Mrs. Cole, and seeing- him come out.— You recollected that without any circumstance leading to it, but merely it came into your mind ? You understand I went there.— After Mr. Griffith had examined you, you say the ciicutn- stance of Lord Berkeley's coming out of the house in Southgate- street came into your mind? Yes.— Did anything else come into your niiud that made you re- collect that ot the same time? No, I do not know anything particular that did,— Hotv happened it, when Mr. Griffith asked you whether you had ever seen Lord Berkeley come out of the house in Westgate- street,, and you told him no, that you did not recollect the circumstance of his coming out of the house in Southgate- street, it being the same thing whether it was at one house or the other? Because Mr. Griffith asked me if I had never seen Lord Berkeley at Farren's uouse in the Westgate- street, or if f had ever seen Mr. Feudall there, and 1 said I never had in my life.— Did you not then recollect that you had seen Lord Berke- ley come out of a house in another street in which Farren lived? 1 did not recollect it then, but I recol- lected it afterwards-.— How came you to recollect it • afterwards ? Many things have occurred to me since. — Did you recollect it. after Mr. Griffith examined you, in consequence of the connection of ideas between the two houses? I answered Mr. Griffith everything he asked tne.— You did not recollect, that you had seen iny Lord Berkeley in Soutbgate- stre « t; but after yon went frum. Mi'. Griffith you recollected Jbat you had seen Laid Berkeley came out of the house in So n. gate- street? Yes.— Was it the. question that Mr. Grif- fith put to you about Westgafe- itt- pet which made you remember the circumstance about Southgate- stieei * I cannot say whether that put me in mind of it or not. — As you recollected this after Mr. Griffith had a- ked you, aud before Mr. Whitcombe asked, how then comes it you did not. mention it to Mr. Whitcombe) I answered b in every question he asked me.— Did tie ask you about. S. mthgate- screet ? No, he asked me if I had seen Lady Berkeley iu Southgate- street, anil i said yes, very ill, several times; and tie asked me if I observed new clothes about her, and I told him I had; carpets and chairs, and many things new ; and new bedding, and new clothes.— Do you mean, to sav that it is possible that you should forget these circum- stances when you were examined about them ? [ did recollect it after I was examined, but not at the time I was with Mr. Whitcombe or Mr. Griffith.— You m-. w that, upon your oath ? Yes.— Do you recollect when Lady Berkeley came back fron Lady Talbot's, her learning t. o dress hair? Yes.— Before she went to Mrs-. Foote's ? Yes; I fancy of one Whittick of Glocester, but I am riot, certain.— Was she living in your house at the time she learned to dress kair? I cannot posi- tively say whether she was at my house, or backwards and forwards to Farren's.— Was she at your house at the time she was hired t. o Mrs. Foote? She was.— Can you state'tlie time of the year she was hired to Mrs. Foote.? I cannot say.— Yon do not recollect the time of the year she came hack to your house from Lady Talbot's? She came very soon afLer she went; whe- ther two months, or three or four after the death of her father, I cannot say.— Are you sure it was not so much as six months? I do not believe it was.— Did she go immediately from your house to I ady Talbot's ? She went to Loudon. She told me she was engaged to Lady Talbot's, hut coold not stand the work, and oanie back to me.— Did she go straight from you to Lady. Talbot's, or to any other place ?

I cannot, sav.— She left you in February? Her father died in Decembt r 1783, 1 think. — Do you think she returned to you so early as March ? I cannot say ; but, she did not stop long I know.— Dur- ing the time she was with you, after she returned from Lady Talbot's, did Lord Berkeley ever visit her there? Never in his life. — Did you ever hear of Lord Berkeley's visiting her? Never.— When you saw Lord Beikeley come ont of the house in . Southgate- street you were close to the door ?

Yes.— YoU are quite sure it was with respect tp the Westgate-' street, he examined you? He asked, whether I recol- lected seeing Mr. Fendall come to the Westgate- stiect. — Does the Glocester cOach to London go through Wootton ? I cannot tell.— Did not Mary and Susan go to London at the same time ? Yes, they did.— Do j on know where Susan lived at. the time that Mary was with Lady Beikeley? I cannot tell.— Do . vou know whether she was ever with Lady Talbot' 1 believe, by what I heard, that they both lived in one house, but'f cannot say.— Do you know whether Susan remained with Lady Talbot after Mary came back to Glocester ? Not. so long as Marv did I believe, but. I am not certain. — You believe Susan to have quitted Lady Talbot's service before Mary ?

Oil their arrival alongside the Diana frigate, the wesr- eimostship in the Sound, the procession was joined by a boat manned and armed of all the ships in B n il- pool, the - Sound, and Cawsand Bay, which siiit- otin U ed the Diana. The mutineers having got on board, were conducted to two separate cabins of the Diana, prepared for the purpose, one for the Catholic culprits, and one for the Protestant culprits, attended by the, ministers of the different persuasions. They all seem- ed very penitent, and spent the. interval of their exis- tence in serious prayer, receiving the Sacrament ac- cording to rites- of each Church from their respective Priests. At one P. M. the melancholy procession began along the gangway to the platform, erected at the bow. s of the Diana. The Provost Marshal, with his sword drawn, pointed to the mutineers, walking backward with the warrant for their execution In his liand. On tlieir arrival at the fatal spot, each muti- neer had an 18- ponnd shot fastened to liis foot. The warrant of execution was read, and the usual question was asked why the execution should not take place ? The culprits bowed their heads'and'acknowledged the justice of their sentence. After some time again spent in prayer, the ropes reeved at the starboard and larboard fore- yard- arm of the Diitna, were, by the executioner, placed round tlieir necks. They were lifted up— the fatal bow gun fired, and these ex- ecrable wretches- were launched into eternity ; a mi- serable example of mutiny, desertion, and most detest- able murder. The ships nearest the Diana were all manned, the seamen in their best clothes, to witness the sad spectacle. After hanging an hour, their bo- dies were lowered into shells, u- ud tlelivtrt « | to tucir • friends fot interment.
