LONDON,
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
Nine prisoners made their escape, on Tuesday night, from the Evan prison-ship, at Gillingham. Four of them were found dead in the marshes the next morning, two have since been taken, and three have got off.
We briefly noticed in our last, that during the late gales a number of persons employed in building a light-house on the Tuscar-Rock, near Wexford, had been lost. The following are some further particulars relative to the melancholy catastrophe :- Government having ordered that a light-house to be erected on Tuscar-Rock, near Wexford, Mr. Needham, an architect, was sent thither in the course of the summer, with about 25 persons experienced in such works. for their accommodation they constructed, near the place, three small wooden houses: these habitations were at high water 40 feet above the level of the sea: on the morning of the 19th it blew a perfect hurricane, the waves broke over them, and the unhappy inhabitants were obliged to leave their huts, of which, in two minutes, not a vestige remained, and fastened themselves by ropes to large stones preparing for the building, and weighing a ton or a ton and a half each; which ponderous stones were , nevertheless, dashed about by the waves like so many pebbles. Some of the persons, who had fastened themselves to the stones, were killed, and others forced from their hold into the ocean. The survivors, after continuing in this perilous situation during two tides, were at length discovered (the weather having become more mild) by the boat employed to attend the rock. They had remained from Sunday noon till Wednesday morning, without any sustenance. In the evening ten of the unfortunate men were conveyed to Wexford; three were brought to the hospital, one of whom had his leg broken; and the others much hurt. In short all suffered in some manner.
Sufferers, inhabitants of Dublin - Mr. John Needham, Inspector; Pat. Byrne, Samuel Cooke[?], Philip Brady, John Salmon, John Keoghoe, Miles Ryan and John Keogh.- Survivors - Wm. Moore, Andrew Kinshela, Edward Breen, Walter Walsh, James Fitzpatrick, Michael Ryan, Bryan Carrol, and John Kavanagh.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6.
PEDESTRIAN.- A farmer named East, at Holt, in Buckinghamshire, undertook on Monday, for a wager of 50 guineas, to go on foot 120 miles in 30 successive hours. He performed five miles an hour for the first ten hours, did the 100 miles in 25 hours, and finished the other 20 in four hours and a half with much difficulty, having half an hour to spare. He halted but two hours during the journey.
FATAL DUEL. - On Tuesday the 20th of October, there was buried, at Leek, M. Le Courbe, a French naval Officer, who was on parole at that place.- The circumstances which led to the death of this young man are truly melancholy. About ten days previous to his decease, he was out beyond the hour when prisoners are to return to their lodgings, and on this account the boys collected about, and pelted him with stones. His behaviour on this occasion made one of his brother Officers observe "that he was soft - that he would faint at the sight of his own blood." Le Courbe have him the lie, and the other struck him, and the consequence was a challenge. Each party had his second; but as they could only procure one pistol, they cast lots who should have the first fire ! It fell to Le Courbe. Ten yards was the distance, measured out by the seconds. Le Courbe fired, and the ball went through both thighs of his antagonist, who fell on the ground, declaring that le Courbe had now got satisfaction, he should not take his chance. The seconds, however, insisted on his firing, and, helping him up, and supporting him, he, in this shocking situation, (the blood streaming from his wounds) took his fire, and his ball went through Le Courbe's neck. Le Courbe died on the 17th, and on the 20th a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body; and, strange as it may appear, the Jury brought in their verdict - "Died by the Visitation of God !" - The Officer who was wounded in the thighs is recovering.
FOOTPAD ROBBERY.- On Saturday last, a footpad robbery took place about one o'clock in the day, attended with very extraordinary circumstances. Mr. Robert Thorley, on his way from town to his residence at Petersham, sent his servant forward from Wandsworth with a message to his family, and preceded home by the private road, which turns off at Richmond, a little beyond the seven-mile stone on the Wandsworth road. When Mr. Thorley had passed the first gate a short way, he perceived a female, attired like a Quaker, and a man following her at a short distance, on the side-path. The man appeared to be a carpenter, with an apron folded round him. As soon as Mr. Thorley came opposite to him, he sprang suddenly from the foot-path into the main road, which caused Mr.T's horse to startle, he involuntarily struck him across the breast with a rattan stick; and supposed the man to be intoxicated, he inquired what he was about. The robber on this, took out a pistol on the left side, which Mr.T. observed was loaded up to the muzzle, presented it, and said "I must have your money." Mr.T. replied, "you can have but little;" and gave him all the silver he had, consisting of a Bank token or two, and a few shillings. The man observed, "If you will do me no injury, I shall not hurt you;" and then retired, saying, "real distress has compelled me to this act." This observation disarmed Mr.T. of the resentment against the unfortunate wretch, and he was only solicitous to render him service. He told him it was a shocking alternative he had chosen, and inquired if he did not know, that by the act he had just committed, he had forfeited his life. The foot-pad walked on, and would hear no more. Mr.T. was still anxious to hear the man's situation, and continued stationary, and looking after him: but the footpad, mistaking his object, turned back and followed his hastily, with a presented pistol.- Mr.T. did not, however, lose sight of him, retiring to no greater distance than was necessary to avoid the danger of the shot. At this instant a person on horseback passed close to the robber, when Mr.T. called out - "a highwayman !" - The footpad immediately shewed his pistol, and desired the Gentleman to go on, who proved to be a Mr. Smith of the city. Mr.T. and Mr.S. conferred together as to the best mode of apprehending the man till Mr. Reeves, a Magistrate, arrived on the spot. By this time the footpad had got over the hedge into an adjoining field; and a servant of Mr. Nettleship's having joined the party, means were immediately employed to take him. Mr. Smith rode to Wandsworth for a constable, whilst the other persons stationed themselves in such directions as to prevent the possibility of an escape. At this moment a pistol was heard from the opposite side of the hedge to that on which Mr. Reeves was; and that Gentleman conceived at first that he had been fired at by the robber; but on farther investigation it was found that the wretched footpad had lied violent hands on himself, by discharging the contents of the pistol into his own head. He was found without one of his shoes, lying on his back, and quite dead. The body was taken to the George Inn, Wandsworth, where a Coroner's Inquest was held upon it on Monday. Verdict, Felo de se.
Some hundreds of persons have attended to view the deceased, but none have recognized him.

SALISBURY.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9.
We learn from an article which appeared in a very respectable London paper, - the Morning Post of Monday last, - that early on the arrival of Sir George and Lady Nugent in India, their amiable and benevolent dispositions had become known to our fellow subjects in the Eastern Peninsula. Possibly Fame had been their precursor; for the ability displayed by Sir George when acting Governor of Jamaica, and the munificence of Lady Nugent, were so widely extended, that we may readily conceive it to have been within the power and inclination of many officers, now serving in Hindostan, to herald their virtues in that part of the world. As the sentiments of many of our readers must on this subject be in unison with our own, we have great pleasure in copying the article alluded to, which is as follows:-
"The letters by the last ships from Bengal notice the arrival of General Sir George Nugent, the new Commander in Chief of the Forces in India, accompanied by Lady Nugent, and state that his Excellency had entered on the functions of his high office, with a zeal and ability which promised the most beneficial results to the public, and had at the same time paid such condescending attention to the services and claims of meritorious Officers, whether in the King's or Company's employ, as had raised him to a high pitch of popularity in the army.- Lady Nugent had shewn her wonted goodness, and had already become the object of general esteem and affection in Bengal, as she has heretofore been in other parts of the globe."
The manufacturers of Norwich have just received orders from the East India Company for 28,000 pieces of goods, which will afford considerable employment for the poor weavers.
On Tuesday last the late contest of the independent Electors of Weymouth against borough patronage, was celebrated by an elegant dinner, at the Royal Hotel, given under the direction of the Committee. The Candidates, Mr. Steward and Mr. Williams were invited to dinner as guests. After a sumptuous dinner, the following toasts were given with correspondent marks of feeling:- The King, 3 times 2; Prince Regent, in 3; Freedom of Election, 3 times 3; Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, 3 times 3; the Committee, 3 times 3; the Candidates, Mr. Steward and Mr. Williams, with peals of enthusiasm - who each returned thanks in an animated speech; Robert Williams, Esq. the father of the Candidate, 3 time 3; the Independence of the Borough, 3 times 3; Mrs Frances Steward and the Patriotic Lady-Subscribers, &c. &c. The company separated about eleven o'clock, after a day spent in the utmost harmony and conviviality.

Died, in May last, at Jaulnah, in the East Indies, after three days illness, greatly beloved and regretted, Lieut. W.T. Hill, son of Dr. Hill, of Devizes. He had acquired a competent knowledge of the Hindostan language; and his active service, for ten years past, were highly approved. His funeral was attended by the whole of the Officers in the garrison; and those of his corps have erected a monument over his remains, as a lasting tribute of their esteem and regard.- This is the second son that Dr. Hill has lost on foreign service in the short space of half a year; who were much respected in the army, and whose fate must be long lamented by their relations and friends.

He has since been committed to Ilchester gaol, to take his trial at the next Assizes for the county.
