,strength of the kingdom., By the.official returns it appeared that, in 1827, there were 470,000 fisher ,. men employed in the fisheries on the coast and lakes of,Scotland, arid that altogether there were upwards of 80,000 persons employed in carrying and packing' the herrings, to which were to be added 50,000 sailors emplo3ed in the deep-sea fisheries, and in • conveyieg them after they were cured to distant parts of the world. There were 100,000 men to be sacri ficed to the doctrines of political economy, of which Dr. Smith was the father, but ‘vhose authority was not against a bounty on the Herring Fisheries ; nor even was that of his commentator, the purest or the Purists, Mr. M'Culloch, who considered it contrary to sound policy that these bounties should be made to cease too soon. Ile besought his Majesty's Go vernment and Parliament to avert the impending ruin of these fisheries, and agree to the prolongation of the bounties, which only tended to lower the price of herrings in the home market. Colonel WILSON seconded the motion. Sir SCROPE MORLAND shortly supported the petition), and stated the distress of the fisheries of Cornwall was spreading and severe. Mr. BERNAL stated that Norwegian herrings Were sellin g at st. Thomas's, and other islands in the West Indies, and in this country, at 12s. a ,barrel ; arid he b e li eve d t h ey m i g h t b e h a d even at alf a.guinea a barrel, for they were sent from Copen hagen to the Danish settlement of St. Croix, for that price, including all shipping charges. Mr. H USKISS ON was averse to the continuance of bounties, which had little to do with the prosperity of the fisheries. ,-Mr. P ENDARVES confirmed the s t a t ement o f the Hon. Member for St. Mawes, its to the distress of the Cornish fisheries. 'Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD must, on the part of his Majesty's Government, give the answer to the application of the lion. Member for Kircrid bright which he had given when the petition was presented to the Board of Trade. If the petitioners had anything to suggest for the benefit of the fishe ries, it must be of a different nature from bounties— a suggestion against the principle adopted by Parlia ment for carrying on the trade of the country. He felt it his duty to resist any departure from that principle. Mr: W. SMITH argued against the system of bounti es . Mr. BRIGHT, on the other hand, doubted very much whether the application of the principles of free trade to our fisheries would be beneficial. The petition was then brought up, read, and or dered to be printed. BRITISH CLAIMANTS ON FRANCE. On the motion of Mr. BERNAL, various Returns Were ordered to be laid before the House, respecting the funds provided by the French Government for the British claimants on France. P ARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The Marquis of BLANDFORD, in rising to move certain resolutions on the subject of Parlia mentary, Ref orm , a dd ressed the Speaker to the fol -I°wltig effect : Sir, I should observe that in cour tesy to former advocates of this measure, I would willingly have left it in their hands, for it seems right and reasonable that those who have argued so powerfully against decayed boroughs and proprietary lufluence should go on with their own work; but as theythe seem to h ave declined the patriotic undertaking, conviction I feel of its pressing necessity is too Powerful for me to heed the charge of temerity in thus presuming to succeed to their office. We shall now see who are the declaimers, and who the doers, in the work of Parliamentary regeneration; we shall now see who are true and steady to their pur- Poses, and who would wish to give those purposes a long adjournment ; it will now be seen who are stre nuous in their wishes to purify Parliament, and pro tect t h e great interests of the country. The ques tion has been now for some time laid upon the shelf; the B ills and d ra f ts of B i lls w hi ch have been pre pared a re now, from long neglect, covered with dust and buried in oblivion. Hon. Gentlemen, the for mer friends and advocates of the measure, may, if they please, bestow upon Ministers the compli tnent of their silence, but I do not feel disposed to imitate their courtesy. Every day's experience Proves the necessity of some measure of this sort. The country expects, I may say demands, some statutory provision for the safety of its interests— tile interests of its agriculture, its trade, its manu factures, its finance, and especially the interests of t he Protestant community, against the influx and in t'rease of the Roman Catholic party. The whole in ternal constitution of this House has been revolu tionized. This new state of things requires new en actments. An imperious necessity has been super ridded,, to the a l rea d y ex i st i ng propr i ety o f putt i ng "own the Borotushmonger and his trade; our rights !Ind ou r lib ert i es are in jeopardy as long as majorities In t his House are to be obtained by buying seats and ng service s; an d t h oug h I may f a il on t hi s oc easi" establishing upon the minds of a majority of this /l ouse a conviction of this truth, I shall per severe in ray efforts to expose the corruption, and p r oclaim the danger of these practices.

Entertaining, therefore, Sir, these sentiments, and impressed with a strong feeling, that in the existing ciretunsfitnces of the country (which it would be idle for any man to seek to disguise from himself), it would be expedient for the House not to separate, without evincing some disposition to take this ques tion into its consideration at no distant period, I have thought it my duty, at this eleventh hour, to direct the attention of Hon. Members to it ; and I shall conclude my present observations by conjuring them to bear in mind the ever-memorable words of Mr. Burke, as cites by Mr. Fox—" Representation (not the unreal mockery, but the efficient substance of Representation) is the sovereign remedy for every disorder, the infallible security against popular discontent." Mr. O'NEIL said, I rise to second the Resolu tions which my Noble Friend has so ably brought before the House; deeply impressed with their im portance, and fully aware of my own inability to do justice to the subject. The Reformation which my Noble Friend wishes to effect will not, it must be conceded, close all the sources by which corruption may taint this House; it cannot even be contended that the close Borough System is one of unmixed evil. A glance around us would offer a practical illustration that such a doctrine was fallacious; for we see amongst the Representatives of close Bo- rupt, and ought, therefore, to be disfranchised by • statute, and another for the House of Commons to declare, that without the concurrence of the other branches of the Legislature, it would prevent the • issue of the writ to the extent of its power. There • were constitutional grounds fur objecting to al . lowing any portion of the body of the people to be unrepresented. In cases of extreme ne cessity and of extreme delinquency, this defect had, however, been permitted to exist; but it was a most difficult, delicate, and dangerous power, because it was liable to abuse, for the House of Commons to exercise the power (he would not call it privilege nor right, because, constitutionally speaking, it had no such right), of doing that which could alone be properly done by the three branches of the Legislature. If East Retford were guilty, the course was plain and straight-forward. It would only be disfranchised by a Bill, originating in this House, and adopted by the King and Peers. East Retford was not disfranchised—no Bill for the pur pose was ever before the House, and as long as the writ remained unissued, the House was not full, and the representation of the people incomplete. The same reason which had recently influenced the House in issuing the writ directly for the county of Clare, ought to induce it not to withhold the writ from East Retford. He agreed with what had fallen from the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Hertford, that on the score of corruption it was, perhaps, a less evil to return the writ to East Ret ford, than to give it to the hundred of Bassetlaw.— The inquiry had been pursued for three successive Session:, arid had faded, and yet what was the House called upon to do ? It was required to punish. East Retford, because it had not been found guilty : at no time could that punishment exceed six years; but in this instance it might not amount to more than 48 hours, for the House would adjourn in two day:, and the Par liament might possibly be di - solved immediately after wards : in that case the writ would be directed to East Retford as a matter of course. No man re spected the Hon. Member for Blechingly more than • he (Mr. Brougham) did; but he must say, that the amendment he had moved was of a paltry nature, yet full of solemnity and mock dignity. It declared, come what may, that no new writ should be issued to East Retford, for the whole of the rest, residue and re mainder of the present Session, which rest, residue and remainder amounted only to forty-eight hours. He thought it would have been much better to have met the motion by a simple and direct negative. The Hon. and Learned Gent. concluded by declaring that he would vote for issuing the writ. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought that there would be greater inconvenience in now issuing the writ than in withholding it. When the House had almost unanimously declared that the borough of East Ret ford was corrupt, and that it deserved punishment of some kind or another, it appeared to him very im proper to issue a writ, empowering these corrupt voters to return two Members to Parliament. He should vote, therefore, for the amendment of the Hon. Member. It would have been better, indeed, if the amendment had not been put into its present form by the Hon. Member, and if he had met the question by a direct negative. He was desirous to meet it so, and if the Hon. Member would withdraw his amend ment, and meet the motion by a direct negative, it should have his support. He begged leave to take that opportunity of replying to some charges which had been made against the Government, of wishing to postpone every question till the next Session., If ever there was a Parliam en t w hi c h cou ld b e com plained of for not doing business, this was not that Parliament. He recollected that at the early period of the Session the complaint made against the Go vernment was not procrastination. They were then accused of hastening their decisions beyond what was proper, and of having made up their mind on the queetions that were submitted to them too hastily. He did riot think that the charge of wishing to escape responsibility was at all deserved; but it was not extraordinary that the Members of Government, whose time had been occupied, should desire, when questions were submitted to Parliament involving most important principles, which the individuals who brought them forward had mas tered by their undivided attention—it was not ex traordinary that Ministers should desire to have the Recess in order to make themselves masters of these important subjects. He did not know how it was possible that the House could be more occupied than it had been since the Catholic Question was disposed of. He believed that not mere time had been given to the consideration of the questions which had been submitted to Parliament than was required. His Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade had not been charged with procrastination in bringing forward the Silk Duties Bill. The questions that had been submitted to the House were of vast importance, and the questions which Members proposed to bring forward were also of importance; and there was no justice in charging the Government either with throwing off its responsibility, or with wishing to postpone till another Session the important business of the country. Mr. TENNYSON had no objection to withdraw his Amendment, and support the negative of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. G. LAMB declared that he meant to vote for issuing the writ. Sir E. CARRINGTON supported the motion for issuing the writ. Mr. FANE briefly replied. The House then divided, whon there appeared, For the motion ... 44 Against it Majority against Mr. Fane's motion -91 SILK TRADE. Mr. lIUME moved for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the powers given to Magistrates by the 4th of George IV. to the Silk Trade, and all other trades. By the Act, provision was made for the protection of the goods belonging to the master, and intrusted to the hands of the workman.

GOWER opposed the clause. Mr. SAUNDERSON and Mr. R. GORDON supported the Amendment. The clause was negatived without a division, and the Report brought up.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. (CONCLUDED FROM OUR PAPER OF YESTRADAT.) LEIGH PEERAGE. • Sir JAMES SCAELETT now addressed their Lordships o•. behalf of Mr. Chandos Leigh, who felt little interest in the title, but considerable interest as respected the estates, of which he was in possession. The case, he believeci, he should be able to show, bad its foundation, with respect to the claimant in delusion. The Learned Gentleman next proceeded to comment on the evidence which had been offered in support of the claim, and contended that, even from that evidence, no pretence had been made out that the claimant was entitled to the dignity which be endeavoured to obtain. The case, he said, had been got up with great ingenuity and care, and the solicitor who was engaged in it, he understood, was to have a per centage ou the property, if the claim succeeded, of 300/. With respect to the monument which was said to have existed in Stoneleigh Church, and to which many wit nesses had spoken, different accounts had been given, not only as to the inscription, but even as related to colour and shape. In Dugdale's History of Warwickshire, of which two editions had been published, the latter having been published in the year 1730, not one word was said about the Leigh monument, although the other monuments in the chancel had been noticed. Webster's monu ment was only put up in the year 1768, 83 that it could not, as a matter of course, he noticed in the publication. A person might have a faint. recollection of the shape of a window curtain, or a monument, after a lapse of 20 years, and yet be able to give some general description of it, but some of the wit nesses spoke of the exact shape of the Leigh monument, and others said the inscription was partly in Latin and partly in English. This was not a very common circum stance. Some of the witnesses said that it commenced with the m ords, " To the memory of Sir Christopher Leigh." Tile witness who was examined that day assured their Lordships that it began in Latin—Hand peach! oh hoc loco requiescat in pace. That witness, alter a lung and painful cross-examination, was discovered to be an attorney. He did not venture to swear too much. Pro bably he had learnt by experience that it was a dangerous thing to do so. How he came to leave practising . , that profession and keeping a farm, which he said was profit able, did not exact! ) , appear. He would have it believed that be had been induced to enter business at liirminghan► by two young men. He could not swear that he bud not read the Latin inscription in the newspapers. Their Lordships would recollect that an ingenious clergyman, named Ward, had written an inscription, supposing that if a monument had existed such would probably be the inscription. This had been sworn by a respectable witness. He (the Learned Counsel) believed that much of what hail been stated by the witnesses respecting the monument owed its origin to the idle gossip of the neighbourhood after the reward had been offered - . It was not uncommon to hear stories related so often that people really believed in their truth. One woman had expressed an opinion that she had always believed the monument related to a Christ mas charity of the family. He thought that when the Church was rebuilt, it was very probable that some tablet containing an account of donations might be removed front the south wall. Ile remembered two cases of pedigree (in the course of his professional avocations) having been attempted to be made out by monuments, and they both failed. The last occurred about 23 years ago, when a man named Angel, endeavoured to make out the claim. The monument was produced before the Judges of the Assize at Croydon, with a full inscription upon it. Some gentleman, whose eye was more curious than others in these matters, detected, as be thought, something mo dern in this monument, which was said to hare been buried in the earth for ages. Artists were c a ll e d, who examined it, and it was satisfaetnrity proved that the letters cut on the monument were of very modern date indeed. Mrs. Leigh had been charged with assisting in the removal of the monument, by holding a lighted candle to the workmen so engaged. She was ready to be examined at their Lordships' bar, and she would prove that she was not even at the Abbey that spring which the witness had stated. With respect to the alterations in the cellar, they were done at the sug gestion of a gentleman who was then in the house. She never gave any directions. about them whatever. The whole story was a perfect fabrication. He had opened the case generally, and he believed he should be able to show that there was no pretence whatever for the claim. The Roger Leigh front whom the claimant derived his claim must have not only married, according to their account s at the age of 12 or 13, but have been at that period toe father of children. This was not a very likely citentn stance. The Learned Gentleman, after adverting to the nature of the documentary evidence which he should pro.. duce, concluded his address. Mrs. Leigh, examined by Mr. DE A IV-4 am the mother of Mr. Chandos Leigh. I visited the Abbey in the time of Mr. Thomas Leigh. In September, 1806, I went to the church with him. There was no monument to the memory of Christopher Leigh. I never was there in the spring of the year before 1813. Immediately on his death I went there. There had been no alteration in the wine-cellar. I was not present at any time when a stone was carried into the cellar. I never saw a monu ment conveyed to the cellar. Upon toy oath I never wit nessed such a circumstance. I conversed with Mr. Leiglk about the Webster family. I was only talieu once to Ow church. I entered by the old porch. There was a stone to the memory of a porter. I remember his pointing out two lines, which I thought improper to be on a monument. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-When I went into the church I turned to the right, and saw the monument uf Webster, who was High Sheriff. That was the only mo nument that I saw. There were several momments in the chancel—family monuments. Cross-examined y by Mr. ADAM—The principal object that Mr. Thomas Leigh had was to show me tiro church. I had Dugdale's History of Warwickshire the night before, which I consulted. Mr. Leigh did not call my attention to Webster's monument. There were insciiptiona of charity on the walls. I rememher the bridge being built there in Mr. Thomas Leigh's time. The foundation store was laid :on the present Uing's birth-day, and I gave the workmen five guineas to drink hie health. The inscrip tions, I believe, were upon the north wall.

sputit OF THE• LONDON JOURNALS. Some reasonable-, hopes may at length be in dulged, that thevillainous and atrocious outrages committed 'eltlier'-ky the Spitalfields and Bethnal green gentry, or in the name of them, will, by the strong hand of the law, be stopped, or at least more rarely perpetrated. It is impossible for society to exist under such a system. It is not in nature to think of it, without being moved to a strong desire for exemplary punishment upon its authors ; and that punishment, if we may judge from the proper spirit and language of Mr. Peel's declarations in the House of Commons last night, is in a fair way to be inflicted. Let any man read the proceedings de tailed in our police report of Worship-street. Fel lows, who can earn 355. per week at journeyvrork, (upwards of 901. per annum, by a single pair of hands), admit other ruffians into their rooms at midnight, and look on while their masters' pro perty is cut to pieces—the master who, in most eases, has paid them beforehand, in confidence of having the silk or velvet, whichever it may be, wrought and re-delivered according to a contract voluntarily made by these accomplices in the act of its destruction. Nothing ever happened among the poor Irish equal to such a practice as this, for ungrateful and treacherous baseness. Nothing was ever calculated like this system to undermine all_ trust between man and man, and eventually to ruin the manufacture upon which it operates. What master will, unless he be a madman, venture to carry on his business in a town where no protection is afforded him against the crimes of his own de petulents—crimes, however, which have arisen in a great measure from his own contemptible subser viency to those dependents ? It is true that pro jects, founded no less on duplicity and falsehood than these conspiracies for high wages by the half taught journeymen, were first set going by the masters themselves, for wringing high prices from the public, the journeymen being made the instruments of their plots, and the intended dupes of them being his Majesty's Ministers, Loud clamours, gross misre presentations, artful processions, lying petitions, were got up as diligently by the masters, in the progress of their attempt to secure a monopoly of sales, as com binations, outcries, discussions in coffee-shops, collu sive entrances into weavers' dwellings, and midnight attacks on silk and velvet goods, are now got up by the said weavers to force a monopoly rate of wages. Verily the journeymen are apt scholars, and their em ployers were but shallow-pated blockheade. We hardly pity them : for their sakes we would scarcely move across the street in the way of either adminis tering the law or of amending it; but if the vile spirit of these mutinous robbers be indulged, no man can fore see to what other purposes beyond the raze of looms and machinery it may ere long be converted.--Tines, We rejoice to state that a happy arrangement is made, by which Mr. Alderson retires from the con test for the representation of the University of Cam bridge, and leaves the honour to be soaped by one who has been already successful in the more peaceful competition of se-let-we : this is alike honourable to him who retires and to him who continues in the field— •to Mr. Alderson and Mr. Cavendish. It is needless here to describe the mariner in which the latter gentleman has distinguished himself in the University ; but it may be proper to state that hi: election will, in all probability, settle future con tests, and bring back the University to that tranquil state which best comports with its habits, and is most beneficial to its studies and discipline. It were An unholy alliance between Cambridge and Cork Castle ! and should a forced union (an Irish wed, ding !) be attempted, we should wish some inquiry to be made into the manner in which church pro perty is administered, and livings disposed of, in a certain part of the county of Dorset, from which, we apprehend, it will appear that the protection aff forded to the ecclesiastical establishment and reve nues in this region is such protection as the vulture affords to its prey, which coves whilst it. devours A petition was presented last night by Mr. Ward from Mr. Moore, a master manufacturer, who has lately suffered severely from the outrages in Spite'. fields. Jt is much more easy to complain of the evil, than t o indicate a remedy, Mr. Peel, for instance, set oat with something like a reproach di rected against the masters themselves for what bad taken place. " With respect to the masters, I much lament (he says) that they should have given way so much as they have done to the workmen ; for it would haire been much better for them at once to have resisted to the uttermost such unjust de mands . . . Why does not the master apr peal to the existing law, before he requires any other?—(Hear, hear.) —Why does he not apply to the Magistrate at the Police-office, who is ready to execute that law in his favour ? The law, as it now stands, says, that if any one by vielenee, or by threats, or by molestation, shall force any manufae, lurer to make any alteration in his mode of carrying on his business, any person so offending shall, on conviction, be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three calendar months. Surely it is in vain to re quire at the hands of Government an additional police force, unless the parties themselves are willing to come forward to assist themselves." Mr. P. Thompson furnished rather an awkward commen tary on this part of Mr. Peel's speech, for he spewed that Mr. Moore had suffered more than any ' other person, precisely because he had pursued the Coarse recommended by him. " This very peti tioner (Le observed) was one of those who had most decidedly re s ted the encroachments of the work men, and the consequence was that he had suffered in proportion. Indeed tti.t: course that those masters who determined to put the law force against the offenders had to pursue was one p :egnant with extreme difficulty ; not only did they by that means throw themselves open to the vengetZuce of the workmen, but when he thought that he had collected a sufficient case to bring home con vistion to the person against whom he was proceed ing, lie found that his witnesses had been intimidated from stating what they knew, and expressed them selves most unwilling to come forward to give their testimony." In short, nothing is more easy than to say, have recourse to the law. But the law, in a disturbed district, is a dead letter. Mr. Peel ad mits that he has no preventive means of sufficient efficacy at his disposal. "It is said there is not a sufficient police force in the district. I admit it ; but at the same time I must observe, that I have done all that was in my power during the present Session to put the police of the metropolis on a more serviceable footing." If those who commit outrages will only be sufficiently stupid to remain on the spot till a detachment of soldiers can be sent against them from the Tower, then a proof will be afforded that in cases of emergency the Government is sufficiently strong to repress violence. But in all other cases it says, help yourselves—get witnesses how yr_nr can ; and after having shown yourselves men of split by consenting to sacrifice two or three hundred pounds a week, on convicting any offender the Court ss ill sentence him to three months impri sonment. A mighty consolation, no doubt, and greatly calculated to make sufferers in love with law and Go vernment. Mr. Moore will find that Government can contrive to spend fifty or sixty millions a year very well, without troubling themselves with the security of 6tizens. Mr. Peel launched out into exclamations against the folly of the weavers of Spi talfields, who are ex - posed to such disadvantages in their competition with ITancheeter and other large manufacturing places, hastening by these ,outrageous means the ruin which is sure to overtake them at last. But the weavers of Spitalfields compare their situation, not with that of the people of the manu facturing towns, but with that of their nearest neighbours. In fact, a place like the metropolis, •where every thing is excessively dear, —house rent, , coals, food, &c.,—is not suited for a manufacture, and it does not require the gift of prophecy to foretel that the manufacture will soon cease to exist - h ere . But these considerations are not likely to have mach influence on weavers in a state of dis tress : for it was admitted on all hands that there is great digress itr Spitalfields, though good hands may earn . from 255. to 30s. a week.— " I most earnestly wish that the labouring classes of this country would attend to their interest !" said Mr. Peel. But how much pains do we not see taken every day to mislead and mystify them ? What has the higher ranks of this country ever done to instruct the people ? There is not throughout Europe a country to be found in which so magni ficent a contempt for the moral and intellectual im provement of the people has been manifested as in England. In spite of neglect, in spite of all man ner of cant and hypocrisy practised with regard to them, the labouring classes are beginning to see their way. If their superiors would but meet them half way,—if the immense resources which are at the disposal of the State for the instruction of the people were not wasted, but applied in such a way as to spread over the country enlightened men, in stead of the miserable fanatical creatures who, ac cording to Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, issue from our Universities to bewilder the people,—then it might be allowable to reproach the labouring classes.— ' Merning Chronicle. It appears that Mr. Cavendish has yielded to the wishes of the members of the Senate and University of Cambridge, who, in so flattering a manner to him, proposed his name on Monday last as their future Representative. In consequence of this nomination, Mr. Alderson has withdrawn from tl►e contest, and the struggle will now be between Mr. Cavendish and Mr. George Bankes, who has no claims on the score of literature and science, that we are acquainted with, to oppose to the high academical reputation which his rival has earned. What right has Mr. Bankes to obtrude himself on the notice of the learned in connection with Cambridge ? What has he done ? What honours and distinctions has he gained ? None. Illiberality and Ultra-Toryism constitute his only recommendations. There can be no question as to the proper person to choose; and we trust, for the honour of science and learning, that Cambridge, by returning Mr. Cavendish, will vindi cate the character of our Universities from the re proach that has been cast on them, of preferring mediocrity and dullness, and a dislike of improve ment, to talents and learning, united to independ ence of mind and enlightened and liberal principles. —lbid. The appointment of Major-General the Earl of Rosalyn to the long vacant office of Privy Seal in dicates two points in the Premier's policy—the one, his intention, as far he can accomplish it, to compose his Government of members of his own professiop ; the other, a wish to propitiate the V higs, who have all along hung upon his outposts, half friends, half foes, willing to act on any side for pay, but on no side very zealously without it. We rho not attribute to such a man as Lord Rosslyn any sordid views of this kind, but to his party we do. His Lordship we believe to be a truly honourable man, and to have possessed up to this time, in its truest sense, that rare quality, political consiste.ney. We suspect, however, that the Duke's line was 'baited fo a larger fish, and that it is only because Lord Grey could not or woeld not be caught that Lord Rosslyn has been brought to I=l, This, however, with the re-ap pointment of 'Sir James Scarlett to the post of Attorney-General, may be coesideu4 3s a complete amalgamation of the old Whig Party with tile Government, and, of course, Mr. Brougham, the leader, c4nun:t long remain unprovided for. Report again assigns him the Roils.. Whether that may be intended or not we cannot say, but that Mr. Brougham has for a long time calmed himself down into a temperance fitted for office, no one who com pares his recent with his past Parliamentary conduct can for a moment doubt.—Morning Herald. Sir James Mackintosh, as our readers must be aware, brought forward his motion on Monday last, for papers explanatory of our relations with Portu gal, 4tid the conduct which the British Government had hitherto thought proper to pursue respecting that miserable and opidessed country. Its result was successful, not only in procuring the papers in question, which will be speedily laid before the pub lic, but in eliciting from the House of Commons an expression of feeling respecting the usurpation of Don Miguel, and thg cruelties of which he has been guilty, which, we would fain hope, would not be without its use in checking the fury of the dezpot. These, however, are the only satisfactory results of the motion; for of the explanation given by Mr. Peel, of the conduct pursued by the British Go vernment, we cannot speak in terms of approbation, either as regards its consistency or policy. With regard to the former, we are willing to allow that nothing can be more truly injudicious and unwar rantable in the abstract, and in all ordinary easel, than interference in the internal affairs of other countries ; bat there are exceptions to the most approved rules, and the case of Portugal must, in the judgment of every impartial mind; form one of the clearest and most undoubted. The usurpation and tyranny of Don Miguel are not of an ordinary cast. They bear away the palm from every other case which has existed in either ancient or modern times ; and, to render it still stionger, that tyranny, there was every reason to suppose from the prpyi oua gpnduct of England, would not be allowed to exist. But Aapsidering the matter on the pure ground of consistency, what difference is there between the case of the Portuguese constitution alists and that of the rebellious Greeks, whom thp Sultan, was desirous of again bringing under his dominion ? There is none. Greece was an in tegral pertion of the Turkish empire, and the Greeks as much, nay more truly, his subjects as those who rebelled against the usurpation and ty ranny of Don Miguel were his. We 4410 the former both directly and indirectly; but to the latter we would not only furnish no aid, but would not eueu permit them to leave our shores with the means which they possessed, for giving a different form of Goverunient tq Portugal, and overthrowing ,;:e Usurper 1 Such is the couch-boasted consistency o f t h e Dritish Government, and the system of non interference, which, in accordance with the law Gf nations, it has thought proper to sanction. We wish n accordance also with we could add that it was sound policy; but justice Ia this case, as well as in that it the other, requires it to be stated, tpat is as faulty in the one way as in the other; ar o l that while it has tended, on the one hand, to furnish the Usurper with the means of inflicting on his subjects the most dreadful tyranny, which was ever expe rienced in any country, it has proved extremely ruinous to the commercial enterprise of British s4by jects. Mercantile confidence has been long extinct between Portugal and England, and the lost occa sioned by the stagnation of commerce a source of ruin to those engaged in the trade between the two countries. —.Morning Advertiser, VIENNA, MAY 16.—1 t is DOW decided that the EMPEROR. will not visit Prague this year; but it the fins weather which we have had for some days con tinues,-he will go to his country seat at Lasembourg. His MAJESTY has resolved that the sum of money, which was intended for the visit of the Court to Prague, shall be em ployed in the relief of the inhabitants of Dalmatia, who are reduced to the greatest distress, in consequence of the total failure of the harvest last year, and thus the pious intention of his MAJESTY, in his profound visit to Prague, will be fulfilled in a different manner. DRESDEN, MAY 15.—There is no truth in the news published by some Journals, that the Marcolini Palace in this city is to be purchased for a Jesuits' College to be founded here. The purchase of another large building was lately spoken of, f.. - r the purpose of establishing a seminary for Catholic schoolmastews, which came to nothing.— This perhaps gave rise to the report of the admission of the Jesuits. From the large quantities of small haddocks daily taken at Arbroath, the fishers anticipate the largest supply of this fish which has been Lad for many years.— Incerness Courier.

The Marquis of BLAxDFoRD, last night, broright forward the question of Parliamentary Reform. The attendance of Members was far from full on the occasion, nor did the discussion, notwithstanding its importance, appear to create any very unusual interest. Among the reasons alleged, in favour of his motion, the Noble Marquis stated his fears that the Catholic party, from their confederated character, from their wealth, and consequently frem their privi lege of purchasing Boroughs, might in time obtain an undue ascendancy in the state. This, his motion, if successful, would go far to prevent. Really the Noble Marquis must have watched the late course of events to very little purpose, if he fears any thing from a Catholic confederacy. Already, if we may judge by occasional accounts from Ireland, the Papists are dissolving their union, and breaking up into parties ; in the county of Louth, Mr. SHELL has put himself forward as the representative of the democratic or popular, and Sir P. BELLEW of the aristocratic, party ; and other interests will, we doubt not ; arise in a similar way, so that except in the defence of some vital principle, such 49 their' religion, for.instance, which it is not likely will ever be encroached upon in any shape or form by Govern ment, the Catholic party can scarcely ever again hope to be that compact, organized, and strongly confederated body that they were but a few months since. We are glad to find that Mr. CAVENDISH has announced himself as a Candidate for the Represen tation of the University of Cambridge. He is a gentleman and a scholar, liberal in his political prin ciples, without carrying his liberality to any undue or visionary excess, and heir to the illustrious ducal title of Devonshire. A.

GOTHA, MAY 24.—His Highness the Duke Coburg Gotha set out yesterday for Warsaw. The frenah Papers are still barren of any authentic news from the seat of war, The Gazette de France, on this subject observes, that" The German Journals have talked a great deal of engagements said to have 4 t ki..,11 place between the Russians and Turks. The direct eoriopon4ence with the points occupied by the corps of the 4n - iv nothing to confirm the news. It seems that the Russians hare in yiexr to turn the Balkan, by advancing to Sizeboli, and making a landing at Bourgas. The army is at this rnplineut assembling about Silistria and Rudschuk. If the Russians succeed in turning Shumla, which the Turks consider as the barrier of the empirp, the war would be terminated , and it 15 very probable that they would meet with no farther obstacle in their march till they reached Constantinople," The )Woniteur says that the authors of the reports prejudicial to the Russian army now contradict them, white persons deserving of confidence, and well informed of the situation of affairs, state that the siege of Silistria was going to commence, and that for this purpose the head-quarters of second corps (that commanded by Count PAHLEN) were going to be removed to Kalarasch.

The Loan CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster this morning, at half-past nine o'clock, for the purpose of hearing one Counsel each side in this case, in which it will he re collected the Court of Delegates pronounced a judgment in favour of Lady Westmeath a short time since. The object of the application was to obtain a commission of review of that decision. Mr. BRODERICK addressed the Court on the part of Lord Westmeath for the Commission, and went at considerable length through the evidence, for the purpose of showing that the conduct and cruelty of Lord Westmeath was not of that description to which several of the witnesses had deposed ; Lady Westmeath did not appear to rest her case so much upon any cru e lty exer cised by Lord Westmeath, as upon the mis-statements with reference to Lord Westmeath's property, aml the circumstance of his Lordship's having had two children previous to his marriage with her Ladyship. The Learned Counsel had not concluded his address when we left, Dr. Lvsill r.q' F oN atteoded oo the part of Lady West meath. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. This morning, in a cause of no public interest, Lord Tenterden first recognised Sir J. Scarlett as " Mr. At rorney-General," CR43I. C0N.....-LEATHRR. V. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Guaisay (with whom was Mr. PLATT) stated that this was an action fur comparative damages for a criminal cenversatioli . between Mr. Duckworth, a steward to Mr. Paris, a gentleman, and partner to an auctioneer at Barnet, and Mrs. Leather, the wife of a plumber and glazier, gf the *Ante place, and daughter to his partner. The Learned Counsel then stated the facts, as proved by the following witnesses:— Catherine Rosendale examined by Mr. PLATT—Knew th e plaintiff; was present at his marriage at Aldgate church with Miss Harris, eighteen years ago. Never saw them afterwards till about fire years ago. croo-e4amined by Mr. 0())13110N SERGEANT—They weve very affectionate at the marriage.—(A laugh.)—Did nut know whether they dined together. Mr. Harris did not act as father. Copy of the register of marriage was - put in and read. They were married on the 18th September, 1814. Charlotte Watson had been servant to Mr. Harris, Mr. Leather 7 s father. Had known Mrs. Leather for eight years. Mr. and Mrs. L. parted three or four years after that, while witness was at Mr. Leather's, sett., can't say that they lived together as man and wife. Mrs. L. went to live with her father. Defendant used to come sometimes to Mr. Harris's house. He had been with Mrs. L. alone when witness saw something, but did not think any more of it. Had seen them romp together, and had afterwards seen them kiss. Had kngwn them together alone mostly pf an evening. Op those occa 'ions, in the dark evenings of winter, they had a candle. Could not say how long they were alone. Remembers having been ill, when defendant came; at about eight o'clock a person knocked at the door three or four times and was not 4nswere4. Witnesa and Mrs. Leather and de fendant were the only persons in the house ; the two latter were in the kitchen and must have heard it, but did not go, and witness went down: stairs and let in her mister. I told Mrs. L. that her sister had arrived. De fendant had then been there about half an hour. They had a fire in the kitchen. Mrs. L. is between SO and ; Mr. Ditckwprtlt ig Rear 4Q. bad not left the room above two minutes when she returned. Mrs. L. was lying on the floor. Sarah Warner, lived servant at 25, Upper Cltlton street, recollected defendant Leather coming there with her mother who remained with her. Mr. Duckworth also came there not many days afterwards ; he enquired f RT her by name, and witness showed him up stairs, when she came from her roptp op the secpnd floor to rpeet him; they appealed to meet like man and wife. Cross...xamined—Did not know Mr. Duckworth before awl could not swear that it was he who came. There are two brothers named Duckworth. gsther Bull—Knew Mrs. Leather. Went from wit. neses house to Ch4lton,street, where witness called upon her. Saw Mr. Duckworth there. She had a single room with a bed in it. Mrs. L. was lying on the bed, and he was sitting on the bed-tide. Left them together. Elizabeth Thornhill deposed that Mrs. Leather lodged w ith h ex when she was delivered of child, upon which occasion Mrs. Leather sent for Mr. Duckworth. Mary Carter was sent with the intelligence to Mr. Duckworth, who said that as he had begun, he might as well go on and have a round half-dozen. Ali. Harris, father of Mrs. Leather, and partner to de fendant, said, that in August la,t he taxed the defendant with having been improperly connected with his daughter, and defendant acknowledged that he had. Mr. toMmon Serjeant pEkritay adtressed the Jury for the defendant, after which I.Ora TENTERDRN summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 25/. KING'S BENCH BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, 111r..1ustic;1.;;;;;DALE, and Mr. Justice Jsmits PARKE, sat in the Bail Court for the purpose of disposiqg of the arrears of Term busigess. Their Lordships were opcupied the whole morning in hear ing arguments in a special case of no public interest. THE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There are short arrivals of all kinds of Corn this week, end only a moderate quantity of Foreign Wheat. The supply of Flour also is trifling. The present dry weather suits the Wheat crop, but rain is wanted fur the back ward spring crops. The Wheat trade is so very dull, that any parcels not superfine have no chance for sale, unless at lower prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease, being short, inore money is asked for each, but not obtained. Fine heavy Oats are obtaining rather "higher prices again, and the factors will not sell other qualities at the late terms. In the Flour trade no alteration, COBURG THEATRE. Last night a benefit was given at this theatre for the METROPOLITAN MINOR THEATRICAL FUND, an Institu tion which we hope ere long will arrive at a height of pros perity equal to that enjoyed by the Theatrical Funds of the Patent Theatres. Mr. DAVIDGE gave the free use of the 'Theatre for the occasion, to which was superadded his own gratuitous professional services. Independently of the regular performers at the Coburg, several gentlemen from Covent garden and Astley's Theatre lent their gratuitous efforts, by the kind permission of Mr. C. KEMBLE and Mr. DUCROW ; and the latter gentleman also gave his own services, which proved to be no mean addition to the performances of the evening. Mr. WILKINSON. also lent his aid, as did Mr. J. S. GRIMALDI, Mr. ELLAR, and Mr. WEBB, the cele brated Irish vocalist, who performed the part of Murtoeh Delaney, in the Irishman in London, in the richest style. It would be unjust to omit noticing the perform ance of Mr. DAVIDCE, as Edward, in the same piece it was one of the most admirable performances we ever wit nessed. Upon the whole, we may truly say, we never witnessed a greater combination of talent at a Minor Theatre ; and we were pleased to observe that it was effective, for the house was crowded in every part. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING IN ST. JAMES'S. The betting is chiefly on the Derby, for which two or three changes have taken place. Ebury has been backed freely, and is now the second favourite, Rhoda being at 7to 1, without many friends. Morris Dancer is quite out of favour, only one person backs him, without which he would go to the outside. Some anxiety is manifested to back Luss and Device for the Oaks. At a late hour last night the odds were as follow : DERBY. 5 to 4 agst Lord Exeter's Patron 6 to I agst Lord Grosvenor's Ebury 7 to 1 agst Mr. Rush's Rhoda II to I agst Lord G.

This meeting, the first of the metropolitan races, com menced yesterday, and is likely to be as prolific of sport as any that have preceded it. The most striking improve ment this year is the erection of the new grand stand, the appearance of which as you approach the race course is strongly contrasted with the contemptible building which has hitherto disgraced the downs, and which, out of ridi cule, we presume, has been called a grand stand ! holding about a hundred people at the outside. That a desidera tum so much wanted has not before been provided is asto nishing, the more so when it is considered that every other stand in the kingdom has amply repaid the projectors. We are much gratified to observe the undertaking so far advanced towards completion, and have been at some pains to examine the manner in which it is built, feeling it to be a duty we owe the public ; and we take this, the earliest, opp►►rtunity of expressing our belief in its perfect security —a certificate of which, we observe, has been given by tl►ree architects. We understand ►hat the projectors, find ing it impossible from the short period between its com mencement and the races to complete the decorative ar rangements, have entirely turned their attention to strength and solidity, leaving the ornamental department to the period intervening between the Spring and October Meet ings. We are glad to find that this course, superior to every other for the importance of its races, will now be equally superior in its accommodation, as we are told this stand will contain near 2,000 more spectators than any other, and affording every convenience. We certainly think the sporting world much indebted to the enterpris ing individuals who have embarked so large a sum as twenty thousand pounds in this speculation, and oan enter tain no doubt, from the very high patronage it has received, that they will reap the benefit their efforts deserve. The arrangements made on the course by its excellent acting steward, J. Maberly, Esq. are on a very extensive scale, and will, no doubt, be equally successful as last year in preventing accident or confusion. The. funds fur this purpose are secured, are provided in the same manner as last year, and have been appropriated to the payment of a numerous and effective passd of constables, who are placed under the controul of experienced police officers. Positive orders are issued for the trainers and jockies to be ready for starting at the time fixed, and the Newmarket regula tions on this point will be enforced with strictness. The ether details of the course are complet;!, hut would be un interesting to our reade.rr. ; suffice it that Epsom race course play row vie with the most celebrated for order and regularity. The company on the downs was quite as numerous and fashionable as is usual on the first day, but not by any means to be compared to the Derby and Oaks days. The Dukes of Orleans and chartree were not present ; they will attend on Thursday, and arrangements have been made by Mr. Maberly for their reception. The principal mem bers of the Nobility on the course yesterday were, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and their san, Lord March, Earl and Countess of Sefton and the Ladies Moly neux, Earl Mountcharles, Lord Charles Somerset, Lord George Bentinck, Hon. General Grosvenor, Colonels Cosby, Grant, &e. The turf is very hard, and ,anything but firvourable for the running. Of the sport to-day we are enabled to speak in favour able terms ; it was really good, and derivod additional in terest from the entry o his Majesty's celebrated mare, Fleur-de-Lis, for the Craven Stakes against a field of eleven horses. The following are particulars : The Craven Stakes, for all ages. The last mile and quarter. His Majesty's Fleur de Lis, agec1„,...,,,,.,,, ‘ 1 Mr, Westenra's Conrad, YTs .n... 1 2 I}lc. Bundis Pegasus, 3 yrs -.. . Nine others started, but were not placed. Betting-2 to lon Fleur-de-Lis ;sto 1 apt Coronet ; 6 to 1 agst Conrad ; and 6 to 1 agst Gameboy. : From the very high opinion entertained of Fleur-de-Lis, awl the comparatively inferior character of tlinse opposed to her, few were inclined to het ageing her ; business of course was limited. Coronet took the lead at starting, Pegasus se conding him with considerable spirit ; Fleur-de-Lis and Conrad waiting behind. After making the turn Conrad made play, and directly after the mare went up, and these two were the leading horses when within the distance, Pegasus keeping a very good third. A tremendous race followed between Fleur-de-Lis and Conrad, the former being hard put to it to win by a head only. She was heantifully jockied by Robinson, and Dockery did wonders on Conrad ; Juryman was rode by G. Edwards, Coronet by J. Day, Gameboy by Wheatley, Macassar by Varlow, and the others by lads. The Shirley Stakes of 20 soya, each, for three-year-olds. One mile. Lord Southampton's brother to LTrganda ....... . ... 1 ray no's Sung frau Five others started, but only the first two were placed. Mr. Petit's Rosary, Mr. Bacon's Eugene, and Mr. Theo bald's Hohenlohe paid. Betting-2 to 1 agst Harold, 4to 1 agst Niger, 4to 1 4gst Roundhead, and sto 1 agst Urganda. The winner took the front immediately atter going off, and managed to defeat every attempt made to dispossess him of it. At one period within the distance the appearance of the race from the grand stand was beautiful in the extreme. With the exception of Howard all of them presented so even a front that it required a quick eye to discover that Urganda had any advantage; this, however, was the case, for he imme diately mended his pace, Jungfrau at the same time making play. pretty race between these two ended in favour of the horse by a length. T. Robinson (a lad), who rode Howard, fell in turning Tottenham-corner, and broke his collar-bone, the accident arising from Howard having struck upon the heels of one of the leading horses. We can confidently assure the public that these accidents, which are so frequent, will in future be prevented, the alteration of the cotirae having been determined on by the stewards of the Jockey Club. The winner was rode by Edwards with excellent judgment ; Jungfrau by Arnttll, Roundhead by Boyce, Nigerly by Dockersy, Harold by J. Day, and Yelva by Conolly. The Durdans Stakes of 10 sous. each, and 10 added, for all ages ; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs. One mile. Mr. Theakstores Tokay, aged 1 Brown's Bhurtpore, 5 yrs 2 Duke of Richmond's Roundhead, 3 yrs 3 Six others started, but only, three were were placed. Owing to a mistake of the Racing Calendar, which stated the extra weights to be for winners in 1828 ; much confu sion arose, as it ought to have been 1829. The stewards decided that the terms stated in the calendar ought to be abided by, 4lthough incorrectly given. The odds were -5 to 2 agst. Tokay, 7 to 2 agst. Romp, and 5 to 1 agst. Constantine. Bhurtpore, rode by Dockeray, made the i work to the distance, when Tokay went up, hot him, and asset . . was home first by two lengths; the others ha" The winner was rode by G.

AT a•PUBLIC MEETING of the MEM BERS and SUPPORTERS of the SURREY ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY, held at the Spread Eagle .Inn, at Epsom, on Thurday, the 2Gth day of November, 1829, to take into consideration a Petition to both Houst of Parliament against Slavery in the British Colonie:, JOSEPH WILSON, Esq. in the Chair, ,The following Resolutions were, on the motion of henry 'C''° 3 @es Esq. a Magistrate of the County, seconded by Henry Pownall, Esq. unanimously adopted, viz. :- 1. That natural-born British subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the Crown of England (Blackstone, b. 1, c. 10.); and that " the three great and :primary rights of every Englishman are, personal se curity personal liberty, and private property." (Blackstone, b. 1, e. 10.) 2. That the present Lard Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, in the Debate in the House of Commons en the Catholic Question, in 16• 2 3, is represented to have as serted, as an unquestioned 'anal unquestionable legal and constitutional principle, that " every subject of the State 4 1 1 a right to life and liberty ; and that the Government that would invade those rights would not onl 5 • %•• l• a, • all ,to 4 1 i's but would be acting on a prhiciple whose operation 11111 At destroy that Government itself." That Judge Blackstone, in the introducticn to his COmmentaries, which embody the legal and constitutional bpinions of all the great Lawyers of past times, has de clared, in terms not less unequivocal, " That those rights which God and Nature ho.vetstablished, and are therefore Pdiedostural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not t he aid of human laws to be more effectually vested in every ./ I .a.n. than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength,... when declared by the municipal laws to be in_ Lte ; on the contrary, no human legislature,ha§ power ,Idge or destroy them, unless the owner shall hinlseif "maiit some act that amounts to a forfeiture." That the Legislature of - this country never possessed Z7 .4 litil or constitutional competence to enact, and, in F °ll4 of fret, never has enacted, any law declaring that ; L l.l °Cent British-born subjects, of any description, shad 'converted into slaves for the benefit of other British abbieets. 5. That the rights of a British subject depend not upon the colour of lds skin ; but that the darkest coloured of his Majesty's subjects, horn in the British Colonies, when arrived at .non's estate, if possessed of the reqnis;te landed ( J2Slifications, is as eligible to a sett in Parliament as any Member of the House of Commons. 6 .. • Th a t i nnocent an d un f ortuna te Englishmen, under the th _,"PProhri ous d es i gna ti o n of slaves, are, notwithstanding r rights as British-bona sub3ects, illegally and un tritotionally held in a state of slavery, in our West an 'lonies, by thousands and hundreds of thousands. That a system; like this, originating in the most . - P r locipled a var ic e , and carried on under every aggrava tion of the most revolting cruelty—a system which, while exhausts with unrelenting severity the corporeal strength, stutliotuily perpetuates the mental degradation of its vie- U , 41 ,5---might well excite our disgust and abhorrence, es en Zuomded upon any specific legal enactments : but when : 161 , as has been repeatedly shown, that it is opposed i ft ev ti e rY principle of that Constitution of which we are so Proud, it excites co less our amazement than our -4.114 ° that its existence can have been so long endured by the Government of a Christian State.

Crabs abound in the eastern part of Jamaica, at all seasons, but are considered to be best in the months the names of which contain the let ter IL They are most plentiful in May, the season at which they deposit their eggs, or run, as the Negroes express it, and when the earth is literally covered with them. At this season it is imposslble to keep them out of the houses, or even out of the bed-rooms, where, at one time scratching with their large claws, and at another rattling across the floor, they make a noise that would not a little astonish and alarm a stranger. Occasionally they will lodge them selves very snugly in a boot, and if a person puts his foot upon them inadvertently, he has quick intimation of the intruder, by a grasp of his nippers. For a few weeks in this season they may be gathered in any quantities, and the Negroes sometimes hurt themselves by making. too free use of them. Even the hogs catch them, although not always with impunity, as a crab sometimes gets hold of one of them by the snout, fromwhich he is not ea sily di se n g a ge d and the terrified animal runs about squeaking in great distress. At other seasons, and when more valuable, they are caught by torch light at night, and put into covered baskets. Crowds of Negroes from the neighbouring plantations pass my house every evening with their torches and baskets, going to a crab wood on the other side, and return before midnight fully laden. Their baskets will con tain about forty crabs, and the regular price is a five-penny piece, our smallest coin equal to about 31-d. sterling, for five or six crabs. At this rate a Negro will make 2s. 6d. currency in an evening ; and the more improvident, who will not cultivate provision grounds;depend, in some measure, upon catching crabs and selling them to the others. A hundred plantains usually sold at five shillings, will purchase from sixty to seventy crabs, and two of these eaten-with plan tains or yams make an excellent meal. I have seen upwards of a hundred Negroes pass my house in an evening, and return with their bas kets on their heads, not only full of crabs, but with quantities of them fastened by the claws on the tops of the baskets. I make but a moderate computation when I suppose they must have had at the very least three thousand crabs. Almost every Negro family has an old flour barrel pierced with holes, in which their crabs are kept. They are fed with plantain skins, &c. and taken out and thrown into the pot as wanted. —Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Pricc Current of yesterday.) SUCIAA.—The demand for Muscovades this week has been general; the inferior brown Sugars are still sold on low terms, large parcels being taken at 475. ; the fine Sugars are tcarce, and maintain high rates. The estimated sales this week are 3,400 hluls. and tierces. In the Re fined Market there is little variation this week; the re quest for shipment is rather limited, and the wholesdle grocers only purchase for their immediate wants. Mo lasses dull. FOREIGN Soon.—The only transaction in Foreign Sugar this week is 60:chests low brown Rios at ISs. At a late hour to-day 209 chests low white Pernarns sold at 235. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-The public sale on Tuesday 8,992 mats Manilla Sugar, of an uncommon fine quality, grey, dry, and very strong ; about 3,000 mats sold at and after the sale, at prices about Is. under the Market rates, 265. a 28s. The sales of Bengal and Mauritius are small parcels at former rates. COFFEE.-There have been very few parcels of Coffee brought forward by public sale; some good ordinary Brazil Coffee sold 31s. and 325., which is rather lower; there are inquiries after the inferior qualities of Foreign and East India Coffee, but the sales actually repotted are still on a confined scale; generally the Market has a heavy and uninteresting appearance. There were no public sales of Coffee this day ; some sales of Brazil Coffee, very good ordinary, are reported, at 325. Gd.

" Plymouth Journal. THE BRIDGE FROM ST. VINCENT'S.ROCKS. —Several plans and specifications of a suspension bridge, to be thrown across the Avon from St. Vincent's Rocks, including those of Captain BROWN, the inventor and pa tentee of suspension bridges, were yesterday submitted to the Committee for carrying the undertaking into effect. A • very beautiful model was also laid before them, made by Messrs. FOSTER and OKELEY, on a scale of 10 feet to an inch. The pillars are intended to be sunk 30 feet in the rock, and to be 150 feet high, 50 of which are to be above the level of the bridge. They are to he erected in a line with Sion Row and Nightengale Valley. the whole span is 630 feet, and 570 feet in the clew; the height is 200 feet ; it j 3 to be 40 feet wide, of which the footpath on each side is to be 6 feet. From these mea surements, it appears that it will be 20 feet wider and just double the height of the Menai bridge. The estimate amounts to between 40,0001. and 50,0001. —Bristol Mirror. of 200 Bengal, 3id. a Sid. ; 4,700 Surat, Sp. a 5 d. ; 200 ditto, public sale, Sad. ; 100 Madras, public sale, 4:4d. ; 100 New Orleans, 5111. a 64d. ; 80 Bowed, 4d.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREET. A decent-looking man named Bolton, accompa tiled by his wife and two small children, came be fore Mr. HALLS on Thursday for parochial relief, stating that he had been to the overseer of St. Clement Danes, who had refused him admission to the workhouse of that parish, on the ground that lie had slept the overnight in the parish of St. Mar tin-in-the-fields. The poor man stated his case. He was a native of Tewkesbury, but quite destitute. After an ab sence from town for some time, he returned lately, and took lodgings in the parish of St. Clement Danes, a distress was put into his apartment on Mon day last, and himself and family were turned into the street; he applied to Mr. Mumford, the overseer of St. Clement Danes, who relieved him with small alms for a day or two, and at length he received from him a shilling, with a recommendation to pro cure a lodging where he could. He slept that night in White Hartlard, but the next day, his means being exhausted, he applied again to Mr. Mumford, who told him that White Hart-yard was in St. Martin's parish, and there he must apply for relief. Mr. Munford had merely acted acted according to what he conceived to be his duty. Mr. HALLS, after observing that if the poor laws were properly administered, it would save a great deal of the confusion and inconvenience which existed at this and other police offices, said that it was quite clear that in giving the present applicant Is., with directions to get a bed where he could, the object was to turn him and his family over to some other parish. Now, however ingenious this subter fuge might be, it was not defensible in point of law, and perhaps Mr. Munford was not aware that in doing so lie had committed an indictable offence. 11e (Mr. Halls) was, however willing to believe that he had acted through ignorance. Mr. Halls then directed that Bolton and his family should be received forthwith into the workhouse of St. Cle ment Danes. Last night Jeremiah Redding, one of the gang that infested the neighbourhood of St. Giles's when street robberies were so frequent there, and who stood at the bar of this dice about two years since charged with having robbed Mr. Horace Twiss, M.P., of his gold watch and appendages, was brought before Mr. HALLS, together with a female named Ann Kcary, charged capitally with having been found in the act of coining. Serjeant Wheatley stated, that at five o'clock that evening, in consequence of information he had re ceived, he, in company with his brother Edward, No. 50, and Thomas Smee, proceeded to the house No. 10, Bloomsbury-market, and went immediately up stairs to the first floor, the door of which was locked. He knocked at it twice, arid called out " Jerry," upon which the door was opened by the female prisoner, and he saw the male prisoner F. eated on a chair near the fire-place. His coat and waist coat were off, and the sleeves of hiS shirt were tucked up. 't he instant he perceived the witness he cast something from him, and - he attempted at the same time to thrust his hand into his breeches' pocket. Witness seized it, however, and drew from the pocket a mould containing a counterfeit shilling, which evidently had just been cast, as both the mould and the metal were quite warm. - Witness immediately handcuffed the prisoner, and directed his companion to lock the room. In searching a cupboard he found a bag of plaster of Paris, and a piece of metal, together with a case knife and file, both of which had evidently been used on metal. A pipkin was also found containing metal such as is used in casting base coin. Two or three pieces of the same metal were found in the cinders and about the hearth. In conveying the prisoner to the watch-house he declared that he was a dead man. The brother of Sergeant 'Wheatley and Smee cor roborated his evidence. At the request of Mr. Field, of the- Mint, the prisoners were remanded. LAMBE TH-STREET. The overseer of St. Mary Stratford, Bow, came yesterday before Mr. HARDWICK, at this office, bringing with him a pauper named Arnoll, and begged of the Magistrate to grant an order to com pel the new Select Vestry of the above parish to grant the pauper some relief. Mr. Penn, the overseer, knew the man was a deserving object, and, nevertheless, the new Select Vestry refused to grant hire any relief. The Vestry had given him the sum of N. per week, which he had expended, as well as 1 Is. of his own money, last week. The Vestry, instead of giving him an unlimited power of relieving paupers, had been in the habit of only giving him this small sum of money weekly; and once a fortnight holding a meeting among themselves for the purpose of re lieving the poor, which meeting was held at six o'clock in the evening, and it often happened that poor paupers, who had been waiting outside the door from six o'clock in the evening till twelve o'clock at night, were sent away without any relief. The Magistrate said that the reason, perhaps, why he was not given unlimited power to relieve the paupers, was because they had an opinion that he was too good-hearted. It was mentioned in the office that the expellees of relieving the paupers had at one time increased from N. per week to 201. during Mr. Penn's over seership, but this Mr. Penn denied. Mr. Penn would take very good care never to accept another overseership when he got rid of this one. It was really terrible to be continually tor mented by poor deserving objects, without any power of relieving them. The Magistrates adjourned the case till this day, to enable some gentlemen belonging to tha new Select Vestry to attend. UNION-HALL. Yesterday three men, named Duff, Reilly, and Gory, were brought before Mr. SWABET, charged on suspicion with robbing the master of a Lisbon trader of a gold watch and seals. The prisoners were well known to all the officers as reputed thieves, and were remanded for examina tion on Wednesday. A woman, named Hicks, the wife of a travelling tinker, was charged with being drunk and biting off the top of a watchman's thumb. The poor watch man exhibited his lacerated finger, and in a tone of anguish complained that of all the female drunkards he ever had to do with, she was the most inveterate. He first saw her, he said, lying on the cold steps of a doorway, and pitying her situation, exposed there as she was on such a bitter night, he went up and gave her a gentle shake by the shoulders, saying, " My good woman, come, get up and go home." He had no sooner touched her than she jumped up and flew at him like a fury, tooth and nail, and hav ing got his thumb into her mouth, did not let go of it until she nipped the top off between her teeth. It took three men to convey this virago to the watch-house, and the whole of the way she kicked and plunged, aad alarmed the inhabitants by her shouts and vociferations. It was stated that she was a common drunkard, and the Magistrates were about committing her for the assault on the watchman, in default of payment of the tine, when her husband stepped forward, saying, " I hope you vorships will not be hard upon my old woman; she used to drink at one time, I knows, every day of her life, sixteen glass of gin before she went to bed, but now your vorships 1 c assure lon that she never exceeds 11 11 5 5 PRICES OF d. to d.

We extract the following from Dr. Arnott's work upon the Elements of Physics, the first part of the second volume of which has just made its appearance. It is perhaps the most valuable, and at the same time most simple, dis covery that has been made for many years in Medical Physics : " The most common case of stuttering, how , ever, is not, as has been almost univerolly b - lieved, where the individual has a difficulty in respect to some particular letter or articulation, by the disobedience, to the will or power of as sociation, of the parts of the mouth that should form it, but where the spasmodic interruption occurs altogether behind or beyond the mouth, viz. in the glottis, so as to affect all the articu lations equally. To a person ignorant of ana tomy, and therefore knowing not what or where the glottis is, it may be sufficient explanation to say, that it is the slit or narrow opening at the top of the windpipe, by which the air passes to and from the lungs—being situated just be hind the root of the tongue. It is that which is felt to close suddenly in the hiccup, arresting the ingress of air, and that which closes, to opfrevaperson entthe lifting egress o a of airvy from any straining exertion ; it is that also , rZlij,litt the or cheat ma by the repeated shutting of which, a person. divides the sound in pronouncing several tunes, in distinct and rapid succession, any vowel, as o, o, o, o. Now the glottis during common speech need never be closed, and a stutterer is in stantly cured if, by having his attention properly directed to it, he can keep it open. Had the edges or thin lips of the glottis been visible, like the external lips of the mouth, the nature of stut- - tering would not so long have remained a mys tery, and the effort necessary to the cure would have forced itself upon the attention of the most careless observer ; but because hidden, and pro fessional men had not detected in how far they were concerned, and the patient himself had only a vague feeling of some difficulty, which, after straining, grimace, gesticulation, and sometimes almost general convulsion of the body, gave Way ? the uncertainty with respect to the subject has remained. Even many persons who by. atten tion and much labour had overcome the defect in themselves, as Demosthenes did, have not been able to describe to others the nature of their efforts, so as to insure imitation ; and the author doubts much whether the quacks who have suc ceeded in relieving many cases, but in many also have failed, or have given only temporary rellot, really understood what precise end in the action of the organs their imperfect directions were ac complishing. " Now a stutterer, understanding of anatomy only what is stated above, will comprehend what he is to aim at, by being farther told, that when any sound is continuing, as when lie is hum ming a single note or a tune, the glottis is ne cessarily open, and that therefore when lie chooses to begin pronouncing or droning ally simple sound, as the c of . the English word berm/ (to do which at once no stutterer has difficulty), he thereby opens the glottis, and renders tim pronunciation of any other sound easy. If, then, in speaking or reading, he joins his words tom gether, as if each phrase formed but one ions word, or nearly as a person joins them in singing (and this may be done without its being at all noted as a peculiarity of speech, for all persons do it more or less in their ordinary conversation) the voice never stops, the glottis never closes, and there is of course no stutter. The author has given this explanation or lesson, with an example to a person, who before would have re quired half an hour to read a page, but who im mediately afterwards read it almost as smoothly as was possible for any one to do : and who then, on transferring the lesson to the speech, by con tinned practice and attention, obtained the same facility with respect to it. There are many per sons not accounted peculiar in their speech,who in seeking words to:express themsclves,often rest long between them on the simple sound of e mentioned above, saying,for instance, hesitatingly," e I e think . . . . you may,"—the sound never ceasing until the end of the phrase, however long the person may require to pronounce it. Now a stutterer, who to open his glottis at the begin ning of a phrase, or to open it in the middle after any interruption, uses such a sound, would not even at first be more remarkable than a drawling speaker, and he would only require to drawl for a little while, until practice facilitated his command of the other sounds. Although producing the simple sound which we call the c of berry, or the French words de or pie, is a means of opening the glottis, which by stutterers is found very generally to answer, there are many cases in which other means are more suitable, as the intelligent preceptor soon discovers. Were it possible to divide the nerves of the muscles winch close the glottis, without at the same time destroying the faculty of producing voice, such an operation would be the most immediate and certain cure of stuttering ; and the loss of the fa culty of closing the glottis would be of no mo ment. " The view given above of the nature of stut tering and its cure, explains the following facts, which to many persons have hitherto appeared extraordinary. Stutterers often can sing well, and without the least interruption—for the tune being continued, the glottis does not close. Many stutterers can also read poetry well, or any declamatory composition, in which the uninter rupted tone is almost as remarkable as in sing ing. The cause of stuttering being so simple as above described, one rule given and explained may, in certain cases, instantly cure the defect, however aggravated, as has been observed in not a few instances ; and this explains also why an ignorant pretender may occasionally succeed in curing, by giving a rule of which he knows not the reason, and which he cannot modify to the peculiarities of other cases. The same view of the subject explains why the speech of a stut terer has been correctly compared to the escape of a liquid from a bottle with a long narrow neck, coming either as a hurried gush or not at all ;' for when the glottis is once opened, and the stut terer feels that he has the power of utterance, he is glad to hurry out as many words as he can, before the interruption again occurs. Should the author's future experience enable him to simplify or render more complete the views of the nature and cure of stuttering, which hine ever la s given y ab ove, variety n o v f e so case, a he s tNovtrot facilitate fail t t h cure oe pub lish his remarks."

BOLIVAB. The Memoirs of Bolivar, by General Du coudray Holstein, ex-Chief of the Presidcia': Staff, have just been published by Messrs. Cob burn and Bentley. We have not room now foi a long notice of this amusing work ; but sonic of the anecdotes which be gives of the Libe rator are not very credible If wa are to believe Ducoudray, Bolivar, of whose personal Courage most persons have a high opinion, ha.• on some occasions proved a miserable coward. This will require proof; anti we give the follow ing anecdote from the work in question, in the expectaiion that it will soon be satisfactorily con tradicted :—" On the morning of the 2d of May, the squadron being not far distant from the three elevated rocks known by the name of the Three Monks (Los Tres Frailes), not far from the island of Margaritta, two Spanish men-of war, a large brig, and a schooner, were signalled. As our squadron had no colours at all, Brion ordered the Spanish flag to be hoisted on board each of our vessels, so that the enemy, believ ing it was his own long-expected squadron, took in sail and waited for us ; but as soon as they perceived their mistake, the captain of the schooner, which was a fast-sailing vessel, pressed sail and left his commander, whose brig did not sail so well. Both tried to escape, but too late. Brion changed his colours, and fired upon them. The brig was soon overtaken by our brig, a fine large vessel, armed with eight car ronades anti a brass 24-pounder swivel.— Three fast-sailing schooners were detached from the squadron in chase of the Spanish schooner, which was taken some hours after wards. It was the Spanish royal schooner Rita, with two 'arronades, 24-pounders, six S-pounders, and one 18-pound swivel, com manded by the Captain Don Mateo Ocampo, whu was mortally wounded in the combat. The royal brig was the Intrepido, with fourteen 8-pounders, and 150 men, sailors and troops, commanded by theßrigadier Don Rafael Inglesias, who was wounded, and then killed by our men, who took the vessel by boarding. They entered the cabin with drawn swords while the surgeon was dressing his wound, and killed him. The surgeon attempted to appease them, and he was : murdered too. Such was the horrid character of this barbarous war. Commodore Brion, who fought bravely, received a wound, which was fortunately of no dangerous consequence, and was promoted, after the action, to the rank of Admiral of the Republic of Venezuela. But bow did General Bolivar behave in this pretty hot and close action, which lasted more than four hours ? As soon as he heard that Brion had ordered the necessary preparations for attack, he took me - aside and spoke as follows: But, my friend, do you not think that the Spaniards will resist and fight to the last ?' To be sure they will,' replied I, laugh ing. Well, but do you think our schooner is strong enough to fight alone against those two powerful vessels ? (at the same time looking at them through a glass) : we are too distant and too far in advance, which renders it hnpossible for the remainder of our squadron to sunport us in the action.' That is true,' said t ' but we will take her - by boarding, which is the customary way to force Spanish vessels.' What, by boarding, do you think of such 4 folly ?' (Y pensez Zoo us 211071 cher anzi? c'est nn'tblie?) These were the very expressions of General Bolivar. But what is the best for me I to do ?' he continued. Do you not think that if I were wounded, or killed, our expedition would be totally lost, and Brion, the poor Brion, would have expended in vain all his fortune ?' ' I looked up, a , tonished ; it first occurred to me that he might be jesting; but when I saw that these strange questions were put to the in earnest I understood him, called Brion, and said, General Bolivar has made to me a just ob servation concerning you : he said, that he being wounded or killed in the action, you would lose • all our advances, as then the expedition would of course, be disbanded.' Well, General,' said Brion, turning to Bolivar, you will be safely placed with the Intendant Zea, to whom I have assigned a place in my cabin, (in which Bolivar, Brion, Zea, and myself; slept,) at the entry of the "powder-magazine, to hand the necessary cartridges.' As Brion said these words in an angry manner, Bolivar asked, But, my dear Brion, do you not think that Ducoudray ' s observation is just ? do you not think so F Oh yes, yes,' said Brion, and turned round. I was giving the necessary orders to our officers to arm with muskets and cartridges, when Boli var came hastily and took me by the arm, say ing, Now I have found an excellent place, bet ter than to be down in the cabin with old Zea' (who looked, in fact, much older than he was, and was the same man who died as Minister of Colombia in England). He showed me the long-boat, which, in armed vessels, is generally fixed over the cabia windows. He jumped in, called Garcia (his intendant), ordered his pis tols and sword, and told him to load two balls in each pistol, which Garcia did in my presence, looking at me and laughing. This position, which Bolivar chose for himself, was surely the safest place in the vessel ; then, in sitting as he did in the long-boat, his head and whole body were safely protected by the thickness and strength of the beam which supports the rudder of the vessel. He sat down in the boat, and requested the to take com mand of the officers, whom I provided with arms and ammunition ; and Brion intrusted the with the command of the volunteers, so that I had to survey the whole infantry of about 160 armed men. A strange contrast was afforded by H. Ballot, a respectable French gentlemaa of 64 years of age, who, together with his young son of 16 years old, put themselves voluntarily under my orders, in spite of Brion's and my re presentations that they should go down into the cabin, and assist Mr. Zea. Both, full of ardour and courage, refused positively, and said, that this was a post of honour, and that they would not have any other assigned to them. In corn paring the behaviour of Ballot, father and son, who exposed their lives, voluntarily, for the wel fare of a country in which they were not born, and to which they did not come in order to fight, with that of a military chieftain, already famous, who now, placed at the head of an ex pedition, withdrew himself in such a curious manlier, when he should have taken the com mand of us all, we have surely a very charac teristic trait of what I have already said of !;olivar."

Mr. Piiii.urs has sent us a long letter on the subject of the late mysterious death of Mrs. Puii.mrs ; to which we shall merely reply, desiring to venture an opinion neither one way nor the other—that the best explana tion that can he given is a thorough public investigation of the whole affair. rbr LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1829. Despatches were received at the Colonial Office this morning from Major-General F. PONSONBY, Governor of Malta, and also from Sir GEORGE DON, Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar. The Austrian Observer of the 16th November, contains the particulars of the late action be tween the Greeks and Turks in Eastern Greece, the result of which was a convention (inserted in The Sun of yesterday) for the evac . ua l tiOti of Livadia by the Turks. From the account there appears to have been more powder than shot ex•' nended in the battle, for. he Greeks only lost three men killed and twelve wounded, while the Turks lost a great nutnber—so great that they could not be counted in the smoke:— VIENNA, NOV. 15. The following is the Report given in the Uni •crsal Gazelle of Greece of October 7, of the last Hairs between the Turks and the Greeks, in : " After the last attacks of the enemy in Livadia this is the town of Livadia, not the country of Livadia), the General, Demetrius Ypsilanti, occu pied with the regiments under his command the strong position of Petra, in order to hinder the enemy from advancing to the other parts, and thus to protect as far as possible the other provinces. The enemy, whose troops, regular and irregular horse and foot, amounted to 7,000 men, had posted themselves on the 22d of September at the distance of a cannon-shot from that position, and prepared to attack it, which they did t.,n the 24th. We do not describe this glorious action, because we be lieve our readers will prefer the following extract from the report of the General to the Governmen t:— " At day-break, on the 24th of September, the Turks having - a small detachment in their fortified camp, advanced in a body against Petra, bringing with them four cannon, to destroy the entrench ments. The cavalry formed at the foot of Petra in two lines. The regular infantry divided into two columns of equal strength, advanced against the en trenchments of the second Chiliarch and of the Pen taksiarch, by Skurtanioti. The latter received them outside of the entrenchments. The action began; the cannonade continued without intermis sion.' Thr hundred regular infantry and cavalry occupied the neighbouring village of Vustemiti, in order to cover the rear of the column advancing against Skurtanioti. All the Albanians marched against Dias.elo. The auxiliary corps of the garri son was obliged to occupy another eminence on the side of Vustemiti. The Albanians advanced impe- tuously to within ten paces of the intrenchments.— kt that moment, Chiliarchs Dyovusnoli and Krie sioti, came up with the greater part of their troops, and attacked the Albanians just as they were going to storm, under the command of Asian Bey. By this, and the brave defence of the intrenchments, the attack was defeated, the Albanians repulsed, and after an action of two hours, the Turks were com pelled to abandon their positions, and to take flight amidst a heavy and incessant fire from the Greeks. At the same time S. Milios, the commander of the garrison, attacked the enemy at Vustemiti, and drove them away with loss. " This glorious victory so far rewarded the bra very of the corps ; but the safety of the Turks is to be ascribed to their numerous cavalry and the grape shot of their cannon. Their loss in killed and wounded, especially among the Albanians, was great, as they afterwards confessed. Among the killed was a Hekatontiach of the regular troops and two Albanians, standard bearers. The Greeks had three men killed and twelve wounded. The trophies of the victory arc two standards and a great number of prisoners; who were afterwards exchanged for Greek peasants who had been made prisoners. " The whole Turkisli army has to-day left Lu rupi, together with the garrison of Livadia, under the command of the Tufectschibaschi of Rumelia. He is followed by the whole of the 4th regiment, _ _ _ _ and the C'hiliarch N. Kriesidi with 200 men more, with orders to occupy Fontana as soon as it should be evacuated. " I consider it a; my duty to represent to your Excellency the good conduct and bravery of the officers and men. All the measures taken in this critical F,ituation were duly executed.

The Gazelle adds, " the defeat of the enemy would have led to their destruction, either by arms or famine, had they not obtained a convention b) which they evacuate part of Eastern Greece, and march without obstruction to Thessaly. By the desire of Otzak Agar, it was agreed that the sick in Kurupi, &c., should be removed without obstruction, as neither the General nor the Greek troops wish for bloodshed, though they ardently desire the freedom and security of the pro vinces of Eastern Greece, which are in a deplorable state, and which would not be relieved by the de struction of the enemy, but by his retreat from them; and it is only then that the inhabitants can begin to rebuild their huts and till the ground, in order to procure, at length, their daily bread, and no longer be obliged to subsist merely on grass (herbs), and sometimes to be unable to find even that." The last accounts from Egina say that Jacovaki Rizo (one of the Secretaries to the last National Assembly at Argos) was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Spiridon Tricupi ; and that the seat of Government would be shortly removed from Egina to Napoli di Romania. We had intended to have made some remarks upon the monstrous conduct of the Chairman at the Westminster Sessions yesterday in altering the sentence passed on a boy from seven years to transportation for life, but the cutting, yet just comments in the . Chronicle of this morning save us the trouble. The article will be found under the usual head. Sentence a boy only 14 years old to transportation for life, merely be cause he retorts upon the Judge !—the thing is too disgraceful to be endured ;—it is a stretch of despotism which we are sure Mr. PEEL will not permit to be carried into ef fect. Where is the boasted protection of Eng lish Law, if its power can be so perverted to gratify the petulant vengeance of an offended Judge ? The liberty of the subject is indeed in danger, if personal anger be suffered to usurp the merciful serenity of the judgment seat. Even the King of ENGLAND himself could not transport a man for life under such circumstances, and yet the Chairman of the Westminster Ses sions has done it ! The proverb saith, that a word spoken in anger maketh the heart sad. We hope it will prove so, and that repentance may spring out of sorrow. DISSECTION of the TWO-HEADED 01111' There is no surer sign of quackery than the attributing of evils, arising out of many circum stances, to one sole cause, and prescribing ac cordingly for their•cure one single remedy. Mr. COBBETT, judging that sufficient:dissatisfaction was abroad at the state of the country to insure him an audience to whom he might announce the dreadful intelligence that their ruin was irre trievable, assembled together some hundred per sons on Thursday, and delivered a highly comi cal oration, the substance of which was that the general distress is increasing to so frightful an extent, that few people can for the . future ex pect to, have a leg of mutton on their table more than twice a year, and that we - have been reduced to thiS deplorable condition by that wicked Act of Parliament which has deprived us of the blessings of One Pound Notes ! Of our near approach to starvation we had indeed been pre viously warned by several Ultra-Tory politicians ; and although the latter are by Ito means agreed with the Radicals upon the causes of our distress (the former attributing it to the Catholic Relief Bill and the Free Trade System), yet Messrs. SADLER and COBBETT lament in strains equally lugubrious the degraded and miserable state into which Old England has been brought by the ignorance and profligacy of her rulers. The coarse humour of Mr. COBBETT is in finitely more entertaining to us than the solemn cant of Mr. SADLER ; but independently of the notoriety of the political tergiversations of the former orator, his declamations can never be of any weight, because he never supports them by proofs, but assumes both cause and effect, and then proceeds to condemn. We do not want to be told that the depreciation of coinage is highly inconvenient, and is often the cause of injustice; nor that Louts XIV. and other foreign Princes have been much censured for tampering with their currency. Any one would suppose that the Parliament which passed PEEL'S Bill was wholly ignorant that, if the circulation of a country is suddenly reduced by one half, the debts and taxes subsequenly paid - in the same money will, in fact, have been paid twice over. Mr. COBBETT informs us that, in ignorance and folly, such a reduction has usually been effected, and itinc dice Lacrymca for the de funct One Pound Notes. Those who are de sirous of satisfying themselves of the solid grounds of objection to the continuance of the Small Note system, should refer to the Debates of February, 1826, and June, 1828. In Mr. GOULBURN'S speech on the latter occa sion, will be seen how vastly over-rated has been the supposed effect of this measure ; for during the five years ending with 1826, the average value of the Small Notes issued by the Country Bankers throughout the whole kingdom, was only five millions sterling, and during the last of those years the gradual withdrawal had reduced the issue to little more than one million. Now, to say nothing of the gold and silver coinage, of the bills and promissory notes used in trade, and of the country bankers' large notes, the above sum is a mere trifle, compared to the paper cir culation of the Bank of England alone, which, I on a weekly average of the year ending the 6th of April, 1828, was 21,549,318/., and had for several years previous been near 21,000,000/. , 1 We refer ' h9WeVer, t 9 the authentic statements quoted by the CHANCELLOR of the ExcHE- QuEn on the occasion alluded to, as the best refutatio❑ of this attempt to magnify mole-hills Ito mountains. We do not dispute that the reduction of the circulation, even to a small amount, has had its effect upon prices; but the measure was a choice of evils, in which the greater inconvenience was properly made to give place to the smaller. We well recollect the fallacies that were urged about the policy of keeping the money of the country constantly increasing, which cannot apply to the paper-money system, because that has for many years been kept on a footing very much exceed ing the circulation that is really necessary for our commerce. Caution is always good, but Mere has been no want of it in this matter ; and we can conceive no more serious charge against he Government than to have suffered, by their non-interference, a repetition of the distressing scenes that occurred throughout the country in 1826, and of the losses sustained by those classes who could ill afford so severe a privation, when they found that country bankers' notes, in which they had been accustomed to confide, turned out suddenly to be mere waste paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. 11PORTA NT MERC.A NTILE JUDGMENT-GOLDING V. O'NEIL. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave jud:ment in this case on coming into Court, which he said he had given all the attention to in his poorer, the question depending on the decision of the Court being, in his opinion, one of the first importance to the mercantile world. This was a question (said his Lordship) with respect to the proof of a debt under a commission of bankruptcy issued against O'Neil and Martin as partners. — The circumstances of the transaction were these : O'Neil, on his separate account, and not in his partner ship character, ervered into a contract with Golding, who was the owner of a vessel. It was a contract by charter party, by which Golding undertook that the vessel should proceed from Newfoundland to Charlotte Town ; that it should take in a cargo of timber there ; that it should then proved with such cargo to Limerick, and de liver the timber there to the assignees of O'Neil ; then that the amount of freight should be paid half in cash, and the other half in a good Bill of ' Ex change on London at a date not exceeding four months. The vessel proceeded on her voyage, and deli vered her cargo at Limerick, in pursuance to the charter party. The half of the freight was then paid in cash, and a bill was given for the other half drawn by the person who represented O'Neil, on O'Neil and Company (not on O'Neil alone), London, to the master of the ship, who remitted it to Golding, the owner, at Liverpool. When the bill was :received by Gelding, it was sent in the usual course of business to the house, where O'Neil and Martin, under the firm of O'Neil and Co., carried on their business. It was left at that house in the usual course for acceptance. After it had remained there for several hours, Guiding himself, or his brother, called for the bill again, and received it hack, accepted, front a clerk in the house. Now the question is, whether this bill, under these circumstances, can be proved under the joint commission againstO'Neil and Martin. There is no prin cip'e more clear than this, that where there are partners, and one of those partners enters into a contract upon his own account, he cannot pledge the partnership funds, or give a partnership acceptance in discharge of his contract so as to bind the firm. In this case, Golding knew that the con. tract WO a several contract—that it was a contract in the name of O'Neil only, and not of O'Neil and Co. When, therefore, Golding accepted of a bill drawn on O'Neil and Co. in discharge of that debt, he knew O'Neil and Co. were not liable for it. He took it, therefore, on his own responsi bility, and the only doubt I have had in this case arose from the circumstance of the bill, after it had been drawn on O'Neil and Co., and received by Golding, having been left in the usual course at the house of O'Neil and Co. for acceptance; and after having been so left, having been received back by Golding front a clerk in the house, ac cepted by O'Neil and Co., Gilding not knowing that the acceptance was in the:land-writing. of O'Neil ; but upon consideration I do not think that that circumstance varies the case. I do not think it in cludes Martin, who was the party to this , contract, and ought not to have been bound by it. If it bad been known by Golding that his acceptance was in the hand-writing of O'Neil, it is perfectly clear that Golding could have had no claim on the joint estate, and the responsibility of knowing it or of not knowing it rested with him. As it turns out, it was the acceptance of O'Neil, and without the authority or knowledge of Martin, whose estate ought not to have been bound. Under these circumstances, I think the Commissioners did right in refusing to receive this proof; I think the Vice-Chancellor did right in refusing to order the Com missioners to receive the proof, and I now confirm that decision of his Honour's. A gentleman behind the bar asked on behalf of the re spondents for the costs. Mr. HORNE opposed this application, on the ground that the question could not have been disposed of without having come to his Lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered, that as the cities- tion was one of such nicety, importance, and difficulty, the parties had acted properly in bring it before him, therefore he should give no costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-JOHNSON V. DIGBI. His HONOUR gave judgment this morning in this case. The question arose upon an annuity in the will of the tes tator, by which he gave his money in the English Funds to certain persons, and the question was, whether that de scription meant 3 per Cent. Consols. The case had been originally heard before the Alaster of the Rolls, a reference was made to the Master, and exception taken to his report finding the words used by the tes'ator meant his 3 per Cent. Consols. The case came before the Court yesterday upon the exceptions. The Vice-Chancellor agreed with the Master, ordered the exceptions to be overruled, and the costs of all parties to be paid in the cause. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. GAINSFORD V. MARSHALL. Mr. Crum applied to have the defendant in this case discharged out of custody, on the ground that the plaintiff being obliged by the Lords' Act to pay him 3s. 6d. a week, and such sum being due every Mondry, that the plaintiff paid the last instalment by a bad shilling and a good half-crown. The money had been paid by a servant of the plaintiff to Charles Jones, the turnkey of White cross-street prison, where the defendant is confined. The plaintiff states, that the turnkey on receiving it rung and examined it, and said it was all right. It appeared, how ever, by the affidavit of the turnkey, that what he said only related to the quantity and not the quality of the mo - ne y. That when the defendant received it, he found the shilling to be a bad one, and the turnkey insisttd that it was the identical money he received of the plaintiff's ser vant, and allowed himself to be searched, and he had no other money about him. The Learned Counsel therefore hoped that the Court would think proper to order his dis charge, as he had already been imprisoned for a year. Mr. THESSIGER, for the plaintiff, contended that the turnkey having been decided by this Court to be in such cases, the agent of the debtor, ought to have objected to the money on receiving it. He also had affidavits which stated that the shlling given was good. The COURT decided, that the turnkey ought to have objected, and that as there was conflicting testimony it would not be proper to discharge the prisoner. The rule must therefore be discharged, with casts. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ADAMS V. MERRIDENV., Mr. Baron Gausow pronounced the judgment of the Court, on a rule obtained some time since calling upon the Master to review his taxation of costs. The Learned Baron said, it would be recollected that this was an action of libel brought by the plaintiff, a highly respectable Ma gistrate, residing in the county of Warwick, against the defendant, who was proprietor of the Coventry Herald, when the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with 201. damages. The defendant feeling disatisfied with his verdict, be applied to have the judgment arrested, and this Court being of opinion, that the inuendos set forth in the declaration were not sufficient to support an action of libel, they ordered the judgment to be reversed; against this de- CI" the P 144144. PPPeAled t 9 a Wirt of Yaw - , Act tin . _ result 'of that application was, the judgment of this' Court was reversed. On the bill of costs being re ferred to the Master for taxation, that officer refused to allow the plaintiff's costs in error. It had been argued at great length, and with much ability, that the Master had used a sound discretion ; but the Court, after the most mature consideration, were of a different opinion. It was the judgment pronounced in this Court which drove the plaintiff to a superior one, and that Court hul decided that our judgment was wrong ; it was therefore only fair that the plaintiff should . have his costs. It is the opinion of the Court that the rule must be made absolute, calling upon the Master to review his taxation. Rule made absolute. A gentleman behind the bar applied on behalf of the Sheriff of Wo:cestershire for the authority of the Cout t not to make a return to a writ of fieri farina, on the ground that he (the sheriff) did not consider himself pro perly indemnified. After a long argument on the duties and liabilities of a sheriff, The COURT held that be was bound to nuke a return, for it ccuhl never be supposed that a sheriff, when he received the King's writ, could re fuse to execute it, on the ground of his not being indem nified. Besides, a refusal on such grounds would in many cases amount to a total denial of justice. Suppose a man had a great number of debtors who he was obliged to sue, would it not be a grievous calamity that in every instance he should be obliged to give security ; the law was quite difficult enough for a poor man to obtain redress, without throwing other obstacles in the way. It was the opinion of the Court a sheriff must risk all liabilities in the per formance of his public duty, except under very peculiar circumstances.

In this case, which was an action brought against the defendants as shareholders in the Imperial Distillery Com pany, and in which action the plaintiff obtained a verdict, a rule was obtained a few days since for a new trial.

The KING'S ADVOCATE passed the judgment of die Court in this case in favour of the Crown. The _Ma donna d'ldra was captured during the war hetween Great Britain and Turkey, in 1807, by a British ship of var, and carried into Malta, where the Yice-Admiralty Court condemned the vessel. The vessel was loaded and owned by a subject of the Ottoman Government, and the proceeds now sought to be placed in the Court were above 6001. Sir CnarsToviirn RoniNsom asked how it was that so long a delay had occurred in getting the papers from Malta. The REGisiRAR, said that there were many cases in the Court at Malta, and the papers relative to the Ma donna d 'ldra could not be forwarded earlier. The COURT granted the application made by the King's Advocate. The Court then adjourned. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWILLIE 0' aocr. The Bears, who have been so roughly handled the last account, are now on the qui vice, and advancing, with great caution, in their future speculations. The Consol market, which left off yesterday at 91 for money, arid 94 1 for the account, opened at the same price this morning, but soon after the market became rather fidgety, and Consols receded to 94 for the account, with little business transacting; they may at present be quoted at 911 1, and 94. if for money. The rise which took place in Consols late yesterday afternoon was owing to the notice sent down from Government, in regard to :he reduction of the interest of the Exchequer Bills to three-half pence per day. The following is the substance of the above notice : New bills bearing an interest of three halfpence by the day upon every 1001. and dated the 18th of December, may be obtained in whole or in part pay- Meni . Of principal, upon stating the required amount on the list delivered on or before the said 14th day of December, which new Bills, with the interest on the Bills exchanged, will be issued on the 19th day of December. A hint is given by some of the speculators this morning that in a few days %re shall hear of some other financial operations on the part of Government, but this may only be a ruse de guerre to keep the market alive. In the Foreign market little business is doing at present. We are again without the arrival of any ship letters, but a Malta Mail has arrived, brought by the Pigeon, sailed from Gibraltar on the sth of November, and from Cadiz on the Ilth. We have already received accounts from Gibraltar of the above date through the French Papers, therefore it cannot bring any intelligence of importance. Accounts from Gibraltar of sth November state that M. Cera pliiii, Cotnmander of the Spanish Garde de Costa at Algesiras, to prevent the smuggling, which is actively carried on at present at Gibraltar, sailed in a small vessel to the above fortress, when he perceived a smuggling vessel, which he took without resistance tinder the batteries of the fort, which only fired a few guns. I.IvERPooL, Nov. H.—The Cotton market is exceedingly film, and if, any alteration the prices are rather higher again this week, although the business doing is not to so great an extent. The sales yesterday were 2,500 to 3,000 bales ; 200 Bahias, Gd. a qd.; 700 Maranhams, Gfd. a 7d.; 250 Egyptians ; and about 300 Orleans, from 6i-d. to lid.

TWO O'CLOCK. The British Market has been in a very unsettled state during the whole of the morning. Consols in the early part of the day were at 94* for the Account, after which they reached 94 owing to two eminent brokers having purchased about 200,000/. Consols; but, contrary to the general ex pectation, Consols immediately receded to 94*, instead of a further improvement, and at present. they are 94ft for the account, and 91 to for money, there being still a continuance of cue half per cent. The extreme fluctuation to this hour is about three-eighths per cent. In the Foreign Market little doing, except in Brazil stock, which is not so good as in the early part of the day.

(FROM OUR rams CORRESPONDENT.) " PARIS, NOV. a " Nothing has yet occurred since the recent te°' dification of the Ministry to disturb the serenitY °f our political horizon; but in the mean time the se' vans of Paris are busily occupied in metaphysi cal and physiological discussions, excited by the suddet t death of the extraordinary bieephalous infant, calle d , il Ritta-Christina. It will scarcely be believed the !, such men as Cuvier, Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, "" Serres, the celebrated anatomist, should have .11111 the greatest difficulty in obtaining the permission the authorities to verify the existence of the curie ° phenomena presented by the constitution of this singular being. There is, it seems, a rule, Pl . scribing interment, in particular cases, wit h '" twenty-four hours after death, which it was e l ,fi tempted in this case to enforce; but it is du e to the liberality of M. (le Chabrol, the Pr e ': feet of the Seine, to acknowledge, that as ee' °U. ' as he was informed by M. de Saint Hilaire, of the claims of science, he hastened to give the necoll';4 sary orders to delay the interment. Had the death taken place in an hospital, there could have been 0 such difficulty. The dissection look place yeSt erd- ' (lay, in presence of Messrs. Cuvier, Saint Hilair e ' Portal, Dumereil, Lisfranc, hart, Castel, Breschth the two Dubois, and a few of their personal friends, in the amphitheatre of Lv Piti6, the operations he r ; ing been conducted under the superintendence of M. Series. " It was mentioned by M. Saint Hilaire, that the celebra!ed Laplace had been much occupied in the latter years of life with the study of human bicepheli• His attention had been directed to their existence) by the historical researches, of Messrs. Serrev: and Saint Hilaire, but he entertained many doubts as to the truth of statements of this nature recorded in history, or rather of the single statement, whi c h was worthy of much confidence, with respect to the double man, who (lied at the age of 28, at the Court of Jame. the Third of Scotland. How much would be have been interested,' exclaimed M. Saint Hilaire. ' with our Ritta-Christina I How much would he have been distressed, as we are now, to see a Or ject for such important study lost by our own aegr gelled' One reflection should, however, cons ° us, which is, that the short life of Christina -pitta has not been altegether lost to science. It has bee" prolonged for eight months and seventeen days, Attu has only ceased by a concurrence of circumstan ces which should not have existed. " The body has been placed in spirits of and was preserved as well as possible, so that the following anatomical details were perfectly setts ' factory : " There were two hearts, isolated and free fro I° each other, but placed in a single envelope or per'. cardium, the hearts touching only at the poiete' while the bases were perfectly free. This touchl of the two hearts was for an extent of six or eig d lines, the point of the organ in Ritta being Pla ce d at the left side, as in ordinary cases, while that is the heart of Christina was at the right. I" position the right ventricle of the heart of Itit, t° the flattened and compressed, which accounts f or stoppage of was only the cir - cul a at s ion ngle liver, inc of her blood. onse Ve nce hi evidently of the union of the liver of each on the median line, which proves that there were two lobe of spigel and two gall vessels perfectly distinct. all " There were also two stomachs, and tNo 511) intestines or first passages which were united ter! or twelve inches before their entrance into the coeeoe l ,' The mecum, as well as the large intestines, which appeared more particularly to belong to Christina, were single. " There were two distinct matrices, the one site" ated as usual behind the bladder, the second he L i v g, separated from the first by the rectum, and ell e ' • intestines. " The pectoral cavity was divided by 1 7t r h , e r d es ia u p lt h e r d ag fr m om the a centr e mediastine, joined below by a single i te e P ot b r o gn if line o li f v t . w h h e ic m h ed l i i u k m e the juts. This circumstance, very interesting in of the twllf, became particularly so, from its affording a p robe. le explanation of the almost instant death of Chrlet i l after her sister had ceased to live; for the half ° the diaphragm being paralyzed, and its continuity still existing, it is easy to understand how the con . tractile action of the other half should have suddenly been arrested. " The opening of the body of Christina-Ritta hits, not furnished any very precise idea of the nature of the disease by which death was produced. A slig l4 adhesion of the posterior part of the pleura of the right side with the emphysema of the lungs iedi" cated the existence of an inflammation of that mete brane, but neither intense nor extensive, a nd eet such as could have produced immediate death:" Death might rather, perhaps, have been imputed t° a considerable accumulation of feculent mutter the rectum. Nothing could have been more eat/ than to have removed this accumulation which b° produced such an unfortunate result. A slight all e jj dent would certainly have sufficed; but no medi c , assistance had been culled, and Christina-Ritta he" died for want of help, in the midst of Paris, je, t l city where so many celebrated physicians waif, have been happy to have lent their assistance of for object so highly interesting to men ; ence. But the relatives seemed to have bee f . ignorant of the facility of procuring relic e i embittered, no doubt, by the refusal tilted had experienced from the authorities, and pre v .,,, c t i c from leaking application by the distress lo "„„ - s es that refusal had plunged them. The remot e : — ay of the disease by which death was produce'', of doubtless be traced to the delicate constitu t t te r Rive, and to exposure to the first colds of w — ,,i t h in apartments very imperfectly heated. It wa e % e l. difficulty that Ritta supported the fatigue of tr ,"o. ling, while her sister seemed to suffer no sort °L convenience. In the towns where they wer e received, and where they could stay a long. Ritta recovered her health with surprising rapitll'iril so rapidly that M. St. Hilaire says he has obserlbei nothing equal to it in an isolated being, and asc ri . aa , it to the support received from her sister Chrieto, who being endowed with a very robust ore tion, had no doubt greatly contributed to these ° ea den restorations. Their stay at Lyons had b e l a very favourable to their health. They seemed well on their arrival in Paris, although Ritta peered to be fatigued ; but here, when the sever ie of the season required the greatest care , the re cO l tives, deceived in their hopes by the interfereo,eia", the authorities, were reduced to a mode of liiclus consistent with the care which was necessary Or preservation of their child. It is known that Ritta only was unwell, !ma t oi l)° , Christina, whose health was good to the eot i '•,,ter suddenly struck dead at the moment when her 5' the expired. The perfect health of Christina toe more surprising when it is considered that the .I'o. mulation or interruption to which the death %ea cribed, was situated in that part of the intest'io which was common to the two sisters, but it t° be be remembered, that an interruption which toeY o o slight and indifferent to a well constituted and s oa re vigorous body like that of Christina, might b e Tho Otis to one so debilitated as that of her s ister• o il heart of Ritta, compressed by that of Christinotitoif otherwise straightened in its movements , foua d o ced incapable of reacting against the congestion pc.grest by the very considerable interruption in th e intestine. " During the life of Christina-Ritta, the WI, whether she had two hearts or only one l' e :aoll e agitated,but has not been resolved. The stetliv-cbial had only indicated a single heart, and the b te e te arteries seemed to beat simultaneously in I nt tlf, subjects. The existence of a single heart ;Or two seemed at first therefore probable, but to 0 :0 6 the close of the disease another op ini V a tit adopted. The pulsations were no longer t Or d those of Ritta being much more frequent thao_llll of Christina. The inspection of the cavityl:oo breathy 1144 shewn that thew were in fact /IV° •

from each of which distinct vessels proceeded; but this inspection has also justified the error to which the stethoscope has led. In fact, the two hearts were enclosed in the same membraneous cavity and so disposed, that however the instrument might be placed, before or behind, to the right or left, it would never receive the impression of more than One of the two hearts. " Christina-Ritta was evidently not destined to attain an advanced age. There was too much ine pality between the two parts; but every thing indicates that she might have lived for several Years. Her premature death has deprived the world of many interesting observations which might have resulted from the developement of two intellects existing, if not in a single organization, at least in two organizations so closely united. Of how many phenomena, psychological, physiological, and .pathological, are we deprived ? The study of a bein g like this, arrived at an age when she could account for her ideas and sensations, would be one of the most interesting which could be offered to the meditation of the philosopher." " The possibili!y of the prolongation of the life of s uch a being; to mature age appears to be demonstrated, and there is nolongerany reason to doubt the general retstieity of the authors who have written on such sub- Jects. Some information has lately been given of a bice- P i llainus g i r l w i z° died in Hungary at the age of 21, the death o f t h e two parts nut being instantaneous, as g in th e case of Christina-Ritta, but an interval of Eve minutes having occurred between the death of the one and the other." 4HIPp] 'ING INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

INTERESTING CEREMONY AT ESHER• PL A CE, ONCE THE RESIDENCE OF CARDINAL WOLSEr. :(From the Court Journal.) Everybody has heard, or ought to have heard, of the celebrated Tulip Tree of Esher-place,—a tree, whose neighbouring "green retreats" have not gone unsung by the lyres of Pope and Thompson, and, above all, by the master hand of Shakspeare. The failing state of this interesting tree, has been the occasion of a no less interesting ceremony, which took place in Esher Park, on the 4th of this present November. The mother of Sir Robert Ker Porter, a venerable lady of SI, whose green old age might be compared with its subiee, (possessing a rare vitality in protracted years and strength, though the hoary bead is visible, and the time stricken limbs,)—planted with her own hand a young and flourishing successor to the veteran tree. The spot chosen was on the gentle slope of the lawn, nearly opposite to the old ivy covered tower of Wolsey. The sapling had been reared by herself from a nut of the famous black walnut of the Ohio —the Tree of Peace—supposed to be above 500 years old ; and the trunk of which was brought to England, from North America, about two years ago. The nut was given to the venerable lady by Mr. Ranking, (the author of the profound antiquarian works on ancient Tartar history, connected with the Romans and the Americans, called " Wars and Sports," and '' The Origin of the Incas of Peru," &c.)—for the very purpose of its hereafter supplying the place of the long revered Tulip-tree. After rear ing it in a pot at her own home, she planted it in the open ground of Esher-place, in the presence of her son, Sir Robert Ker Porter, who had recently returned from the native country of the tree,—and of her friends the family of Spicer,—whose character, as the present Lords of the soil, is well worthy the pos session of a place, which long bore " the name of Pelham, and its virtues." When the young sapling was put into the ground by the vcnersble lady, it was accompanied with a little casket containing three medals commemorative of the period of its planting and the origin of the tree; one, of the United States of America, an other of the New South American Republic, and the third, of George the Fourth of Great Brita 4,7). The ccre►nony was particularly striking, from the remarkable age of the lady, and that of the present tree; also of the one it was to succeed, and the cele brated antiquity of Esher-place itself.

STEAM COACHES AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES. Somnianus indocti doctique. A few years ago, when we hazarded an opi• non that by steam conveyances we might travel at twenty miles per hour, we were taunted as die miners and enthusiasts ; but the late experi • merits at Liverpool have fired the imagination of so many persons, that we rather oddly find our selves in the rear of speculation, and compelled in our turn to play the part of the " practical men," by sobering clown the wild exaggerations of others. There are persons who talk now of a velocity of 50 or 60 miles an hour, as a thing to be immediately realized, and a statement has been making the circuit of the press, with the name of a mathematician attached to it, in which the annual saving, from the substitution of steam for horses, is estimated at 100,000,0001. per annum ! On these two points we have a few remarks to offer. To ascertain the saving which steam carriage may produce, we must fist solve the question, " how much money i 3 expended annually in the conveyance of goods and passengers in Britain." Now, we have data from which this may be es timated by approximation. Mr. Macadam stated in 1823, that the number of miles of turnpike road in Britain was '24,500, and the annual produce of the tolls 1,280,0001. This relates to 1821, and if we assume that the amount in creases at the rate of 2 per cent. annually, the present sum will be about 1,450,0001., and ad ding 100,000/, for toll-keepers' profits, we have the entire produce 1,550,0001., about one-tenth of which may be deducted for carriages and horses, kept for pleasure, leaving a net amount of 1,350,0001. Now, we are informed by a practical man, that tolls amount to nearly one penny a ton per mile, and constitute about one tenth part of the whole expense of carriage. In round numbers, therefore, we may assume on pretty good grounds that about 14,000,0001. is the whole sum paid for carriage of goods and passengers by land. The dues on canals may amount to 1,500,0001. more, making in all 15,590,000/. ; but we have no objection to en large our estimate to 16,000,0001. or 18,000,0004 It is needless to talk of the corn eaten by horses, or the iron consumed in their shoes, and on the wheels of carts and coaches, for all this must be included in the gross amount drawn. How then we ask, is it possible to save a hundred millions on carriage, when the whole internal carriage of the country costs only of sixteen or eighteen mil lions! It is a pity that speculators before they spi❑ their theories, do not think of enquiring a little into facts. Our own opinion is, that two thirds of the gross amount, that is ten or twelve millions, is the largest saving which could pos.• sibly be effected. But the grand benefit to be derived from the introduction of steam carriage will consist, not in the saving of money now paid ; but in the vast increase which is certain to take place in the amount of internal commu nication, arising from its speed and its cheapness combined. From the data already given, it follows that the whole amount of internal carriage in Bri tain, is equal to about 400,000,000 tons carried one mile. This comprises passengers as well as goods, but is exclusive of what is carried by ships in the coasting trade. We...demur to the idea of travelling at 50 or 60 miles an hour, on grounds which will pro bably satisfy those who value the integrity of their bones. We shall put the case in a shape which will enable any reader to understand it.— Every one knows that no precautions can en tirely prevent accidents. A wheel may give way ; a piece of the rail may be broken ; or an obstacle may be lying on the path which might cause the machine to make an instantaneous halt. Now, when this happens to a carriage moving at sixty miles an hour, what will be the result ? Sixty-six miles all hour are equal to 96 feet per second : and this is the velocity a heavy body acquires when it has fallen through a space of 100 feet in 2-4 seconds. It follows that the vehicle travelling at this rate (with the persons in it or on it) would be thrown against the ob ject which stopped it, with precisely the same violence of concussion as if it had been dropped to the ground from the top of a wall 100 feet high ; the engine would evidently have its parts separated ; the wooden carriage would be dashed to pieces ; and every one of the pas sengers killed. Even a velocity of 44 miles an hour is equal to what a body acquires when it has fallen from a height of 64 feet. Reader, how would you like to be put into a box, like a coach or a sedan chair, and drop ped from a window in the fifth or sixth flat of a house ! We admit that something might be done to lessen the danger attending such acci dents, and that in point of fact so heavy a body could seldom be entirely stopped at once by any obstacle likely to occur ; but even supposing that means were found to abate one-half of the violence of the shock, enough remains to terrify considerate men from risking their persons in such a species of conveyance. A speed of 22 miles an hour is equal to 32 feet per second, or the velocity acquired by a descent of 16 feet. With proper caution this or something a little greater may be attempted, but till we have bones of brass or iron, or better methods of protecting them than we have now, it is preposterous to talk of 50 or 60 miles an hour as a practicable thing. The danger, it is to be observed, rises ill a much higher ratio than the velocity ; for in rapid movements, besides the increased violence of the concussion, there is less time for adopting precautions to guard against its effects. We understand that the railway experiments have produced a great sensation in Paris. "On en parle avec grande emphase ;" but doubts, which we must pronounce to be foolish and groundless, are entertained as to the accuracy of the result. Coulomb would have seen nothing incredible in them, and why should men of science, who h ave stu di e d hi s wor k s ? W e hope a petty jealousy of England has nothing to do with tins incredulity: —Scotsman. The young poet, whose tragedy, on a Jewish subject, has been accepted at Covent-garden, and is the intended medium of first introducing Miss KEMULE to the public in an untried character, has, en attendant the delay of bringing it forward (caused by the unlocked for and unprecedented attraction of Juliet), bethought himself of inditing a broad farce, which has also been accepted at the same house, by acclamation, and will be performed in a very few days. We hear that " Green-room report speaks highly of it." This looks a little suspicious; for namNAND MENDEZ PINTO himself was a veracious per son compared with that same " Green-room report."— But as, contrary to the receivtd opinion, we hold that the power of writing a good tragedy is prima facie evidence of the power of writing a good anything—but particularly a good farce—our hopes, in connexion with this young writer, are doubled by this news ; for the truth is, that even in our own peculiar domain of the drama—that of broad farce, a thing unknown out of England--we are utterly without a first-rate writer, as we are without a fifth-rate in any other department of the drama. We hear that Mr. WA nes farce is on the fertile subject of Phreno logy—a ready-made farce in itself, . Court Journal. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Bentham, in his new work, after giving a minute history of the manner in which the simple tribunals of our Saxon ancestors came to be destroyed by the Court which followed in the train of the Norman Kings, and showing that the present Judicial establishments of the coun try are mere mockery, as far as suitors are con cerned, lays down a plan of a Jud:-.iary Esta blishment. He proposes that for suits of all sorts, criminal as well as civil, there be two stages of jurisdiction, Judges before whom the suit is brought in the first instance, and Judges of Appeal (with the exception of Courts for the maintenance of military discipline, and ecclesias tical discipline). That Judicatures be esta blished in such number and in such situations, that no individual may have to travel more than twelve miles to reach his own Judicatory. That not more than one Judge sit at the same time in any Court, to insure responsibility—that to ob viate delay and failure of justice, every Judge be empowered to provide substitutes, one or more. having for solo remuneration the prospect of being constituted Judges Principal.

That at the head of the Judiciary Establishment there be placed a single functionary, styled Minister of Justice, by whom all political situations be filled up, who shall hear and determine accusations against Judges; that accusations against the Minister of Justice himself be heard and determined by the House of Lords. This is the substance of what Mr. B. proposes respecting the Judiciary Establish ments. We shall, on a future day, notice what he says respecting procedure.—Morning Chron. We call the attention of our readers to our report of the proceedings at the Westminster Sessions yesterday, as affording an instance of the confusion of intellect which seems to be characteristic of the most of those to whom the administration of justice is confided in this country. John Harris, a boy of fourteen, was found guilty of stealing two handkerchiefs.— Though young in years he was old in crime ; the Chairman observing that the prisoner's face was quite familiar to him, on which one of the officers stated that this was the third conviction within a twelvemonth. After hearing this dis tressing account of the prisoner, the Chairman said " the sentence of the Court is that you be transported for seven years." Such was the sen tence which the Chairman pronounced after all the facts of the case were made known to him. So far so good. But the prisoner having after this uttered an offensive remark, " the Chair man immediately ordered him to be again placed at the bar, which being done, he was sentenced to be transported for the term of his natural life." We suppose the Chairman regretted that he did not possess the power of sentencing him to be hanged. Transportation for fourteen years used to be deemed great things for a Sessions ofJus• tices ; but now that a Chairman sports with transportation for life in this manner, hanging will soon follow. That, however, is not the point we wish to consider now. On what principle was the sentence changed from trans portation for seven years to transportation for life ? Transportation for seven years was ob viously the sentence which the Chairman, on a full and calm consideration of the case, deemed a suit able one. The addition of punishment implied in the transportation, after the lapse of seven Sears, for the remainder of the prisoner's life, was inflicted on him, not for his crime, but his subsequent insult to the Chairman.— Let us examine this matter a little more closely, for such is the stupidity of the bulk of those who administer justice in this country, from the undisciplined state of their minds, that. if a mat ter be not driven into them, as it were, nothing is to be done with them. After the sentence, John llarris was no more to the Chairman than any other person would have been.

pared with the offence against himself ; the crime merits only transportation for seven years, but the injury to his own feeliaes is only to be atoned for by eternal bondage among the Antipoties. If any man had, on receiving a !Smiler insult from this depraved creature tu the streets, lifted his hand against him, and applied to him the slightest castigation, notwithstanding the 3ustifi cation, he evould have been punished. The re spect clue to those who are administering iustice demands that a difference should be made be tween insulting language uttered in the streets and insulting language uttered to a Judge. But still, something like proportion ought to lee ob served. Transportation for life foe en insulting expression ! 'Where are we to stop ?—At the limit of power possessed by the Judge ? The Chairman of a Sessions of Justices can only, it is title, transport. But let us take A kludge of a Court of Oyer and Terminer. Let us sup pose one of the Judges, on sentencing a man for seven years, were, on receiving an insult, to order the prisoner to be again placed et the b a r, and sentenced him to be hanged I The more or less makes nothing to the principle. If a Judge can revenge an insult to himself by a punishment beyond what would be iefficted if it stood separately as a contempt of Court, the de gree of the excess is immaterial. Open the door to the power of punishing in one's own cause— that is, open a door to vengeance—and we shall soon have no reason to complain of excessive moderation. It is clear, however, that the Chair , man durst not have punished a contempt of Court with transportation for a single month. But when contempt is mixed up Nith the punish ment for crime, the compound ought not, on any rational principle, to receive more punish ment than what the crime and the contempt would each merit separately. We put out of question the technical excuse for the Judge, that the sentence not being recorded he was at liberty to alter it. True, no evidence existed of the sen tence till it was recorded. But though this my be a legal, it is not a moral justification. The Judge had full possession of the case,—he knew that the prisoner was an incorrigible thief; and his sentence was the result of a calm consideration of all these circumstances, when his own feelings were not arrayed against the criminal by personal insult. The additional punishment was, there fore, not called for by the merits of the case, but was an atonement for the insult to himself. We arc almost ashamed to labour a case apparently so plain with this minuteness. But where the little understanding le hick nature may have given to a set of men has been depraved by a perverted culture, it is often more easy to make a matter plain to a gang of ne groes th an t o t h em . Thi s atrocious principle of altering sentences from a slight to a heavy punishment, not on account of any discovery of additional criminality, but of fensive language to the Judge, has been again and again acted on. The blunder belongs to the same class with punishing for aggravation of an offence, when a defence is made which happens to be unpalatable to a Judge. There is a sad confusion of the past and the present with all our Judges ; and we fear that they will remain incurable till some man of sufficient ability and independence find his way into the House of Commons, to read them a lesson in a way they can feel. The Barristers in Parliament have too much at stake to venture on anything unpalat able to the Judges.—lbid. A pamphlet has been sent us from Brussels, entitled Reponse an General Baron de Riche mon!, par un Citoyen des Pays Bas, directed against a work published at Paris last summer, for pressing upon the French Government and nation the policy and justice of extending the French frontier to the Rhine. To this iniquitous project we have before alluded, without, of course, feeling that deep interest in the subject, or that strong indignation against its author, which must have been felt by those who were to become its victims, or whose national exi:!.tenee it was intended to efface. The General's pam phlet appeared to us at once so dull and so dishonest, its recommendations so impracticable, and its hopes so chimerical, that but for some allusion to it in the letters of a Paris correspon dent, we should have allowed it to drop into oblivion unnoticed, along with the bonnets ron,9es and the wooden shoes of the Convection. But being re-published at Brussels under the very eve of the Government which it proposed to plunder, it could not be treated with such indif ference. Accordingly, this " Belgic citizen," with patriotic zeal, takes up his pen, and entlea vonrs to avenge his insulted country by a formal refutation of Genera! Richeinont's work. The answer partakes of the monotonous dullness of the original. work, as it follows it nearly para graph by paragraph. It may seem almost in credible some years hence, if European tran quillity remains undisturbed, that during a time of profound peace in the west of Europe, a General of the French army—a member of- the French Chamber of Deputies—pretending' to speak in the name of a large class of his fellow citizens, should seriously propose, from a mere feeling of convenience or taste;--from a mere desire to round a territory already vast enough, or from a notion of greater security against contingent dangers, to invade a neigh bour and an ally—to usurp the most im portant part of an uneffending kingdom, esta blished under the guarantee of all the Powers of Europe, and to hazard the conflagration of a general war, in which his own country might again be time greatest sufferer. And the only temptation to such an interference—the only facility for executing it last summer was—what ? Why, the chance that Russia, menaced by Aus tria in her designs upon Turkey, would bargain with France for the re-annexion of Belgium to the French dominions, as time condition of an alliance by.which France was to be bound to dis able Austria on the east, by threatening Germany in the west. In calculating the practicability of the new conquest, General Ilichernont forgot that the . Congress of Vienna did not erect an experimental kingdom by the incorporation of Belgium.with Holland. He forgot that a large share of the indemnity which this country had to pay for former invasions, was spent in erect ing fortresses on the Belgic frontier, to prevent future aggression ; he forgot that the Nether lands had existed as an independent State for 15 years, governed as well at least as France ; and that Russia, which held Poland, and Prussia, which held Saxony, by the same tent: as the King of the Netherlands holds Belgic.-:, could not, without endangering the security of their own possessions, assist in this spoliation of their ally, while Austria and England must have .op posed it lobo corpore regni. But it is really superfluous to reason upon this plundering pro ject, whose practical folly can on l y b e matc h e d byits audacious. dishonesty. We .call recom mend the BelgiQpamphlet. as an antidote, t o the i very small number why are n any danger twin swallowing the speculations of M. de Riche mont.-7imes. It will be recollected that the eelebtated—the very justly eelhrated—Professor Porson, in spealcinB of the works of Gibbon, said that they would be excellent (or eorntthhig to that effect) if they were translated into English. The his torian heard of the bon ,not, and spoke of it with good -nature, and of its author, of course, with respect. But•, if this might be said of Edward Gibbon, what shall any one say of the inueb inferior, but infinitely more perplexed and un-Anglican writer Jeremy Bentham t' Neither man, nor hog, nor dtig, ever produced such sounds or e..presions, or things so far removed froth nature, as are poor Jeremy's writings.— Vet a respectable foreigner, M. Dumont', trat lated his works into French ) and it is probably through this e;hatinel, and by a re-translation of them into English, that they may be understood by ordinary readers,—if in truth there be any thing in them worth understanding, which is, with some people at least, doubtful. The pub licationt how - er, of Jeremy' a s works in French, by M. Dumont, has given occasion to a biogra phical notice of this latter gentleman in the 9th Number of the Foreign Quarterly Review just published. Biography is always interesting ; and Monsieur Dumont having lived much with the late Lord Lansdowne, and the present Lord Rolland, a review of his life introduces the reader to the coteries frequenting (as the French ex press it), those two noblemen. From these causes, the article in the Foreign Quarterly, will be read with attention and gratification.— Various inaccuracies of style show that it has been hastily composed, but it exposes with great acuteness poor Jerry's application of the mathe matical process to moral science. The account is altogether interesting, and the author appears to be a man well acquainted with the personages and events of modern Europe. The following is an extract from the article referred to : " Among the closest friends of Romilly awl Du mont was George Wilson, a man little known beyond the circle of his friends and that of his contempo raries in the profession of the law, and one whom it would be difficult to make known to others, with out the use of that language of vague panegyric, the abuse of which had more lowered it in his own eyes than even in those of most men of modesty and taste. It might be said by as unaffectedly conscien tious a man as himself (if such another there be), that among those who thoroughly knew him, the degree of esteem for him was always considered as exactly indicative of the degree of sagacity and purity of the man who entertained it. Yet even he was not more upright and benevolent than his two friends; though having less vivacity than the one, arid less ardour than the other, he was not so liable to be allured by imagination from the rigid obser vance of the severe maxims of that moral prudence which is the safeguard of virtue. With a keen relish for pleasantry, and perfectly exempt from all gloom and harshness, he yet shunned the amuse ment of Wilkes's conversation, solely from deference to morality. When Mirabeau visited England, about 1786, Wilson did not follow the example of his friends in cultivatieg the society of that extra ordinary man, whose ill-trained fancies were better adapted to sudden felicities thin to composition,emd whose conversation was animated by an irregular benevolence, neither smothered by the profligacy of his youth, nor altogether extinguished by the in trigues and corruptions of his latter years. " In the summer of 1789, the season of promise and hope, especially to a Genevese exile, Dumont went to France and renewed his acquaintance with Mirabeau, whom he found occupied in the compo• sition of his journal (tire Courier de Provence), aided by Duroveray, Claviere, and others, who had been expelled from Geneva for liberty. Dumont took an active and very effectual part in it. A variety of observations on the departmental division and municipal administration of France, subjects which have for the last two years agitated that country, were then published in Mirabeau's Journal, by Du moot. His friend Wilson used to relate, that one day, when they were dining together at a table d'hote at Versailles, he saw Dumont engaged in writing the most celebrated paragraph of Mira beau's address to the King for the removal of the troops, which was believed to have been entirely written by himself. It is certain that he reported several of Mirabeau's speehes, which he embel lished awl strengthened from his own stores, with that disinterested sacrifice of his own reputation to the diffusion of what he considered truth, which accompanied him through life. It is no less certain that he was an utter stranger to the ambiguous pro ' jrcts imputed to those whose general arid avowed principles only he promoted. Many years afterwards, when asked by a friend to write tire life of Mira beau, he answered, No ! I know it too well.' • " In 1791 he returned to England, and towards the end of that year the writer of this notice dined for the first time it his company and in that of Itorniiiy, at the house of M. Chauvet, at Kensing ton ; from which time he enjoyed the uninterrupted friendship of both till their last moments. " In the eventful years which followed he con tinued chiefly to live at Lansdowne-house, or at Bowcod, where the most remarkable men of Eu rope, as well as of England, were frequent and wel come guests. During the latter part of them he began to form an intimate friendship with Lord Holland, whom he had known from childhood, and whom, it is eeedless to add, he loved. He was one of the members of the society of familiar friends, the habitual visiters of Holland-house during 30 years, and who saw I a succession of celebrated guests of every country, party, religion, and of every liberal profession or station, which is likely to continue unmatched till another house boasts such a master."—lbid. The Earl of Mountcashel has ventured once more to take the field, and it is no injustice to wards the Noble Lord to say that he does not now appear to greater advantage, in comparison with his learned and accomplished opponent, than in any of his former exhibitions. His Lordship insists that the lamentable events which ensued from the. excitement of a popular feeling in the cause of Church Reform in the reign of Charles the First, cannot fairly be appealed to in proof of the danger of a similar excitement in the present day : and alleges . in support of this opi nion, that the Protestantant Laity of the former period had just ground of complaint and alarm. It is impossible not to be struck by the inco herence of the filet relied upon by his Lordship, and the conclusion he seeks to eitablish. The popular agitation of the question of Church Re form once assisted in the overthrow of the Mo narchy and the Church. This is not denied. Why then may we not expect the same course to produce the same effects in our own day. Is it that the Church has now enemies as numerous, as powerful, and as deter mined as she had then ? Is it that there is now less danger of enmity to the Church beingcloaked under the disguise of zeal fur its reform ? Is it that the wild spirit of revolution is now less ex tensively diffused? None of these propositions does his Lordship, or can he attempt to main tain. What then is the distinction by the force of which an interference then so 'fatal is now to be harmless, and even salutary ? The Noble controversialist forbears to state any. What he alleges, if it were -true to the extent he supposes, which fortunately it is not, could but shew that in all points the two cases bear a perfect re semblance. The misconduct and bad designs of Charles the First, and his Mini*ters and his Bishops, are facts of which no doubt can be entertained. But is not the very ground-work of the Cork Synod— that which has set its Noble Founder and President in motion-- , -that which stimulates his zeal and that of his fellow-labourers, conscientious Loweter mistaken belief, that the .dual Government of England habitually sacri fices the best interests of the Church to political considerations—that a large proportion of the Bishops selected and appointed by the King' s Ministers betray the cause of religion—that the Church as at present regulated does not contri bute to the maintenance and diffusion of ge nuine piety and virtue ? Entertaining and act ing upon these opinions, how can the Earl of Mountcashel advert to the delinquency of the Government and the heads of the Church in the time of Charles the First as con stituting an important distinction between the eireninstances of that period and the present ? And how can we and those who agree with us 4n thinking his opinions altogether erroneous and unfounded, be relieved from an apprehen:. sion that the same mischiefs may once more result from the same course of proceeding, however clearly we may be convinced that the motives, real in the former instance, are in the present wholly imaginary ? The Noble Lord, by the language of his present letter, establishes in effect a perfect identity of character and purpose between himself and those who co operate with him, and the Church Reformers who contributed at a former period of our his tory to the subversion both of the Government and the Church, and fully justifies the apFre hensions expressed by his Right Rev. opponent. With the exception of the point to which we have now alluded, the long letter of the Noble Lord consists merely of a repetition of his former statements. He dwells at much length upon the inadequate stipends paid to Curates, of which he cites several instances, the lowest being some thing under 501. per annum. We are far from saying that this is a sufficient provision for a Clergyman ; and we regret that no unobjection able remedy for the evil has yet been pointed .eiut, either by his Lordship or others. At the same time we confess ourselves considerably re- lieved by the fact, that these are the hardest cases which the scrutinizing research of the Noble Lord has enabled him to discover.— Morning Post. The great rise in the Funds, at a time when every other description of property is on the de cline, must appear very unaccountable to the Un initiated. The cause, however, is sufficiently ob vious to those who have attended to such matters. It has been brought about by the Bank, in con nection with the Government, having made " money easy," for the purpose of running up the price or Consols, in order to reduce the Four per Cents. This operation, it has been said, will cost the Government half a million of mo ney ; but then, it it succeeds, it will enable them to reduce 146,000,0001. Four per Cents. to Three and a Half or -Three per Cents. We have repeatedly said that, either by direct or indirect means, the fundholder would be at tacked. The present " operation," if it suc ceed, will be neither more nor less than a forcible reduction of the national debt by indirect Means. As for the justice of the plan, the less there is said of it the better. A reduction of the interest of the debt generally, without reference to any particular class of stockholders, if the necessities of the country required it, would be perfectly jus tifiable, for the interests of a part, and that only a small part, ought always to yield to the good of the whole. But the reduction now sought to he effected will be highly injurious to a portion of the fundholders—the proprietors of the New Four per Cents.—while it will be highly bene ficial to the holders of the Three per Cent. Consols, by advancing the value of these Secu rities in the market. There is, however, another objection to the proposed measure, and a more weighty one ;—it cannot be clone without tam pering with the currency, which will affect the interests of every individual in the State. To bring about a riie in the Funds, an increase of the circulating medium must take place ; and if such increase could be per manent, the country would, no doubt, be beim fitted upon the whole, though individual inte rests would suffer. Under the present system, however, no increase of medium can be perma nent. Paper may be forced into circulation for a time, but the cash payment, and the suppres sion of small note bills, will speedily drive it back again. All the great fluctuations which have taken place in the Funds since the peace have been caused by tampering with the cur rency, and not, as some people suppose, by the manamvres of the stock-jobbers. This tamper ing has, no doubt, been highly advantageous to individuals, but ruinous to the country. Mon ' sicur Necker, the Finance Minister in the time of Louis XVI., caused much misery and ruin to France, and certainly hastened the crisis of the French Revolution. But Voltaire gives us the best insight into these matters. In one of his letters from Ferney, in Switzerland, he says, " Here I am, living in a way suited to my ha bits, and caring but little for to-morrow ; for I have a friend, a Director in the Bank of France, who writes to me whenever money is to be made in the public Funds. Sometimes lie writes to me, desiring me to sell, because the Bank is going to withdraw its notes ; at other times he bids me buy, for we intend to issue a quantity of notes, and so," adds Voltaire, " through the kindness of my friend, I always make money, although living 200 leagues from Paris." What resemblance the state of this country, as repects financial matters, bears to that of France in the reign of Louis XVI., we leave others to deter mine. We shall, however, have a word or two to say upon the subject on a future occasion.— Morning Herald.

As to the cases of the two other persons who had made affidavits, more might be said than in this case; but as the present applicant was not the party aggrieved by the conduct imputed to Mr. Bcavan, in those cases the Court could not grant a rule on his appli cation. THE KING V. LYON. This leas an application for a writ of mandamus directed to Mr. Lyon, the Master of the Watermans' Company, commanding him to admit and swear in Mr. Benyon to the office of clerk of that Company, to which he had been elected.—Rule absolute. TILE KING V. JONES, ESQ. Mr. Serjeant RUSSELL showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Campbell in the course of the last term, for leave to file a criminal informatic against William Jones, Esq., a Magistrate of the county of Carmarthen. The Learned Serjeant ob served that the affidavits on which the rule had been obtained imputed to Mr. Jones that he had endea voured, by threats and promisee, to compound a felony,—that is, that he had endeavoured to per suade one David Davis, who had stated that he had been robbed on the King's highway, to compound the offence and abstain from prosecuting the offender. The affidavit of Davis, who had stated himself to be a farmer, but who was, in truth, only a day la bourer and a Chelsea pensioner, set forth, that on Saturday, the 16th of May last, he was coming from Carmarthen, in company with one David Williams, and that when they had got to a place called Penny garden, Williams, on a sudden, attacked him with a stick, or blackthorn club; that he struck him to the around, and when he was down he kicked and beat him ; that he put his hand in his waistcoat pocket and robbed him of his leather purse arid I Is. Gd. in silver, and then left him senseless on the ground; that he was afterwards picked up by two persons named William Williams, and Margaret Williams, who were attracted to the spot by the cries they had beard. ' The affidavit of David Wil liams, which was one of the affidavits made in op position to the rule—stated that he (Williams) and Davis • had been spending the greater part of the day together in the town of Carmarthen, where they had been drinking; that on their re turn from Carmarthen, they resorted to several public-houses on the road; that, having drank a considerable quantity of liquor, they both became intoxicated—a quarrel arose about some beer, which one of them had thrown on the floor; from worth they came to blows, and William swore that before he struck Davis, the latter gave him thyee blows; he swore further, that be had no blackthorn club or other stick, and did not rob Davis " of a farthing." The impression on the mind of Mr. Jones, the Ma gistrare, was, that no robbery had been in fact corn tnitted. Mr. Jones swore that he did not on this occasion g ; ve any recommendation to Davis to settle wiih Williams, but merely said to him, after the bail had been taken, " I am still of opinion that this matter had better have been amicably settled." It further appeared from the affidavits, that Davis preferred a bill of indictment against Williams for the highway robbery at the Great Sessions, and that the Grand Jury threw it out. Mr. Jones was a member of the Grand Jury, but he absented him self during the time that the case was under inves tigation, and took no part in it. Williams preferred his bill against Davis for the assault, and it was found a true bill at the Quarter Session;. Mr. Jones had sworn in the most distinct and positive terms, that in acting as he had done be was in fluenced by no enmity to one party or favour to the other, and that he aced throughout the business with an anxious desire to discharge his duty as a Magistrate, and according to the best of his judg ment. He swore further, that he had been an act ing Magistr ate in the county for a period of twenty six years, and that his character and conduct had never before been impugned or objected to. Mr. CAMPBELL, in support of the rule, said, Mr. Jones had attempted to excuse his conduct by say ing that he had recommended a reference to mutual . friends and neighbours, but he (the Learned Coun sel) was not aware that it was the practice in Wales for Magistrates to dispose of charges for capital offences in this way. After calling the attention of the Court to some other circumstances in the case, the Learned Counsel submitted, that the affidavits disclosed enough to raise suspicion against Mr. Jones, and to justify their Lordships in sending the case for investigation by a Jury. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said that in refusing to make the present rule absolute, the Court did not take away the power of any person to prefer an indict ment against Mr. Jones if it was thought that he had acted improperly. He ( the Learned Judge), however, for his orvn part, did not entertain the slightest suspicion against Mr. Jones's conduct. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE thought that Mr. Jones's conduct had been not only proper but praiseworthy. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE concurred, and the rule was discharged with costs. THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY AND MR. JOSEPH FLETCH ER. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. KELLEY showed cause against the rule obtained by the Attorney-General on Saturday last, for setting aside the award made in I the reference between the London Dock Company and Mr. Joseph Fletcher, as to the ex cess beyond the sum of 20,0001., on the ground, principally, that the arbitrators had awarded com pensation to Mr. Fletcher on a mistaken principle of calculation. The COURT thought that the principle of calcu lation was right, and refused to disturb the award —Rule discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. !'7. AFFLADO V. FOURDRINIER.

May we venture to express a hope that , s t ance these :—L or d G rauv ill e , our late Authassa t 1 1 the proprietor may gratify the citizens o f Watertond with sigh% of thole wondrous things?.,. Waterford Chronicle. i dor at the Court of France, when on hi. return to this country, had a largequantity of iii= furniture shipped at Calais on board a steam packet, and con signed to the care of defendants, who acted as his agents on that occasion. The packages were all marked " L. G.;" and, as known and entered as belonging to his Lords:l:p, were exempt from any custom-house inspection at either side of the water. In a few days after this, the Superb stem-packet arrived in the Thames from Calais, bringing, ' amongst other freight, five packages made up exactly as those belonging , to Lord Granville ; and, like them also, marked "L. G." On their arrival no person appeared to claim them. After some days a Mr. Tighe, who was the known agent of the defendants, came to Galley-quay, and appeared to look after the packages, and by him it was told (so we understood the Solicitor-General) that they belonged to Lord Granville. Soon after this one of the defendants went to a Mr. Norman, and alluding to those packages, said, " Why, you have landed our packages." To which Mr. Norman replied, " Well, if they are yours, look after them." Mr. Nortran was paid by defendants the expense he had been at for their previous entry, and also for their freight. After this one of the packages was taken out in the name of L. Gaward, and proved to be furniture. The duty, about 21. 103., was paid on it, and it was taken away. It at length became necessary to examine the other packages. , They were, we believe, examined by order of the de fendants themselves. It then appeared that they contained (not furniture), but French silks and ribands to the value of some thousands of pounds, the duty on which amounted to 1,7.501. The de fendants then asked leave to have them re-shipped; but this was refused, and the goods were seized. Informations were afterwards filed against the de fendants for contravention of Custom-house regula tions, by which the goods became forfeited under several sooutes. The case was tried in this Court before the Lord Chief Baron, and the Jury found that there was a fraudulent intention on the part of the shippers, and eleven out of the twtive, it was said, were for finding that there was a fraud on the part of the defendants. Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendants, said that there was no question of fraud before the Court — none had been laid in the information. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in . showing cause against the rule, contended, that enough had been shown in the trial of the cause to establish a fraudulent intention on the part of the defeudAnts; but the verdict of the Jury had clearly established it against the shippers of the goods, Mr. CLARKE followed on the same side, and con tended that even if there were no fraud at anyside, the infraction of the Custom-house regulations would be a just cause of forfeiture. Mr. WALT.oN followed on the other side. It was now past four o'clock, and the Court rose, deferring the hearing of the Counsel on the other side till to-morrow. ARCHES COURT, Nov 27. THE OFFICE OF TILE JUDGE PROMOTED BY BEN- NETT AGAINST 130NIGAR. This was a suit promoted by the Churchwarden of a parish in the diocese of Worcester, against the Rev. Wm. Baldwin Bonigar, the vicar, for neglect of duty and other irregularities, not involving any charges of immoral conduct. The libel had been admitted, as well as a responsive allegation on the part of the defendant, whichdenied or explained the grounds of accusation, and recriminated on the pro movent, by ascribing the suit to malicious and vin. dictive motives, proceeding from the vicar's having raised the tithes of the parish and the church rate. An allegation was now offered on the Fut of the promovent impugning these statements, the admis sion of which was opposed by the defendant. The Court considered that under the circum stances of the case, and without pronouncing upon its merits, or the motives of either party, it could not refuse to admit the allegation, after the recrimi natory pleas which had been put in by the defendant. REWARDS OF PHYSICIANS. Erasistratus, son of Aristotle's daughter, hay ine. cured King Antiochus, received a hundred talents from Ptolemy, father of that Prince; which was equal to fifteen thousand pounds of our currency. Pliny has given this account, and has also informed us that Cassio, Calpiano Aruntio, Albutio, and Rubio, who were suc cessively State Physicians at Rome, received 250 sesterses annually, a sum equal to 1,5621. British. Thaddiens, a Florentine, would not leave the city for less than fifty crowns a day. Having been sent for to Rome to cure Pope I ononus, he returned home with 10,000 crowns for a short attendance. Phalaris gave Polycletus four vials of pure gold, two craters of silver of ancient workmanship, ten pair of Thericlian cups, and 50,000 Attic crowns. He also pre sented him with the salaries of Admiral and Captain of the Army, and complimented him further by observing, " he was not able to pay what the obligation of curing him merited." When Melampus had cured the daughters of Prmtus, the King of the Argives, he received a third of that Monarch's' kingdom, a third was also bestowed on his brother, and each was pre sented with one of the Princesses in marriage. The Great Mogul, who reigned ia India about the seventeenth century, allowed his physician one hundred thousand crowns a year. Nysa Mollueus, King of India, gave Garcias, a Por tuguese physician, 12,000 pardoes, which were then estimated equivalent to so many ounces of silver. Philip 11. of Spain, gave 6,000 crowns for a short attendance, to his physician, Valle sius. Louis XI. of France gave his physician, Coctiere, 10,000 crowns a month, the Bishop ric of Amiens (which contained 498 parishes) to his nephew, and many offices of profit to himself and friends. Numerous other examples of the immense rewards bestowed on physicians might be mentioned ; but allusion shall be made only to those common in this country. During the early part of the hist reign the State Physi cians, Sergeant Surgeons, and Surgeons, re ceived 2,000/, a year each : and there is the strongest presumption that the present State Medical Officers are as amply, if not even more bounteously, rewarded by the most magnificent and magnanimous Monarch who has swayed the British Empire since the days of Alfred. It is impossible to estimate the immense emoluments conferred by the private generosity of the Sove reign, and the patronage necessarily attached to the distinguished station of Court Physician and Surgeon. On a recent occasion his Majesty presented Mr. O'Reilly, surgeon at Windsor, with 1,000 guineas for a few days' attendance, and was graciously pleased to appoint him his Domestic Surgeon, at a salary of '2,0001. a year. —Medical Journal. CHAMPAONE.—An alarming sensation has been produced in the south of Scotland, by the sev, re and sudden illness which affected the members of a recent dim ner party in genteel life. The dinner was given by a person of some rank at a country house, not his usual re sidence, and Where there were few servants in attendanoe. The party consisted of the gentleman himself, his lady, and four friends, near relations of each other. The symp tof antipoiso iting w experieneed by each of the party great anxiety and n t ddistress ensued ;—yet suspi cion was without any rational object. It was thought ne cessary, however. to examine the viands and liquors that had been used ; and it has now been found, upon analysis by Dr. CHRISTISON, that the Champagne, which the plrty had at dinner, containcd half a prain of arsenic per ounce measure of wine ! The party hive escaped— not without severe iilnes—lnit the suddenness of the at tach saved their lives ; since there is little doubt that, had another glass of Champagne been taken, death would have I been the confluence... scoisni an.

On Thursday week, James Williams, alias Patrick Callaghan, who had been apprehended at the suggestion of Mr. George Russell, chief of the police, on a charge of telling fortunes, or rather for causing his necromantic divinations to be interpreted by an astrological and mysterious looking female, who acted as a familiar spirit in the conjuror's den or dwelling in Worcester street, he—the magician, being deaf and dumb. It was stated to the Magistrates that it was his practice to draw chalk lines upon a table with an air of great solemnity, and after an appearance of being buried for some minutes in profound thought, during which period his female votaries regarded him with reverence, supposing him to be employed in converse with " the spirits of the vasty deep," the female interpreter or familiar spirit, was called in to give utterance to the awful predictions of futurity. The outset of the examination proved difficult indeed, as the ac cused, James Williams, could neither hear nor speak, and the magisterial interrogatories could not be heard by the deaf nor answered by the dumb. The time of the Court was therefore employed in vain, until R. Capper, Esq. pro nounced the alias name Pat Callaghan, rather suddenly, when, behold a miracle ! The deaf man turned round, and the dumb spake ! Hav ing thus broken the spell which bound the en chanter, the examination proceeded, and the prisoner stated in his defence " that he had been much visited by ladies and young women, and finding them extremely liberal, on being promised '1 husbands and large families, he prophacied on all occasions to the extent of their wishes, and having been thus encouraged he thought he was doing no harm in preserving the extensive prac tice he had acquired in his profession." The Magistrates, however, thought differently, and therefore sent him to sojourn for three months at Northleach, in an asylum admirably adapted for his peculiar case, as there is a certain engine vulgarly called a tread mill, on which he will be required to practice constantly until he is quite cured of his disorder. On his way back to the watch-house, he told Samuel Oakey, the con stable, theretab l e , a l r i e i s fortune,a great m a y a i i n Ah, M r .

" An immense popularity may be expected for these volumes ; nothing in its way could be bet•er than the de sign of the work. There is no event in the records of either ancient or modern history so pregnant with the fate of nations and of individuals as the battle of Waterloo. Among the numerous hosts engaged, there was scarcely a man who did not feel a more than ordinary solicitude as to the catastrophe. In chronicling this grand drama, history can only recount the main incidents, while by far the most interesting portions, namely, the detail of private achievement, of private feeling, and of private suffering, is passed over, or eonsigned to the biographer or the no velist. The author before us unites these two qualifica tions, and has constructed a series of stories, of which it may not be too much to say, that they will, on account of their subject and their power of narratien, be read again and again, like those famous legends to which the battles of Creasy and Agincourt have given immortality." —Morning Paper.

PRICE 7D. had seen Mr. Page strike his wife with the fire. irons, and throw cups of hot tea in her face; had seen Mrs. Page knock her husband down once. Witless recollected two sucking rigs being sent into the house in Chutch , row l but she did not know whether they were sent by Mrs, Page to a public house and exchanged for gin; witness did not see the pigs until they were gone! Other evidence was gone into ; after which, Mr. EARLE, for the defendant ; detailed the nature of the case, and concluded by stating, that if lie should establish to the satisfaction of the Jury, that Mrs. Page had been guilty of adultery—particularly of such repeated acts of criminality for a long period —and if the defendant had just cause for turning his wife from his house, it was contrary to law, contrary to morality, nay, contrary to common sense, that he should be compelled to support her in such a course, and he was sure the Jury would relieve tho defendant from such attempts at extortion as this was. George Harrop, an apprentice to the defendant, had often observed great familiarity between Ed ward Knapp, another apprentice, and Mrs. Page. In June, 1828, he was passing through the kitchen in Park-street, in which there was a sofa, when he saw Mrs. Page lying on the sofa, and Knapp walk away from it, apparently much confused. Mr. Page knocked at the duor, but was not admitted, and then he was obliged to break a window and get in that way. Several respectable-looking females, who lived near Mr. Page's house in Church-row, often used to observe gentlemen walking in front of Mr. Page's house, making signals to some person inside, until they were admitted, so as to make their parlours un pleasant to sit in; on one occasion one of the neigh bours saw its gentleman escape by the back part of Mr. Page's house, by climbing over the railings. James Davies, on the evening of the Bth August saw Mrs. Page coming out of No. 22, Seymour street ; he followed and spoke to her, and they walked some distance together, and had something to drink; at her invitation he accompanied her back to 22, Seymour-street, and went in the par lour, where he agreed to sleep with her for fifteen shillings; he left her under pretence of going home for some money. Elizabeth Peake was the wife of Jonathan Peake, who was an assistant to Mr. Page; at Mr. Page's request she took lodgings in the plaintiff's house, to report to him what she saw of Mrs. Page's conduct, and she went by the name of Jones; the first day she was there she saw Knapp come to visit Mrs. Page, and she saw him very frequently afterwards; Alsop was also there frequently, and he was called the lawyer; one day witness found the bed-room door locked, and looking through the key-hole, saw Knapp and Mrs. Page in the room alone. Three times, when Knapp was there, she found the door locked. When site had looked through the key hole she saw them together, at one time apparently kissing, and another time on the sofa; whenever she came in Mrs. Hodgkinson used to go out ; one night Mrs. Page desired witness to write a letter to a Mr. Cotter to come to her, as he would not mind spending a few pounds to go to the theatre. The witness also described certain indelicate scenes which she was a witness to between Knapp and Mrs. Page, and also on one occasion Mrs. Page's de scribing a hurt she had received. At one time, while Knapp and Mrs. Page were together, Mrs. Hodgkinson and Mrs. Alsopp were locked in the next room. Witness once accompanied Mrs. Page to the theatre, where they were joined by Knapp, who was very familiar with Mrs. Page. Mrs. Page sometime afterwards requested witness to get her lodgings near the theatres, and she took her to Mr. Towry s, in Drury-lane, where Knapp met her, and there a scene of a certain description took place.— The witness next described various other circum stances alluded to by the Learned Counsel in his speech. She was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. FLANNAGAN, as to her willingness to undertake such an office as she had performed; she replied, that it was very unpleasant to her, but it was with the entire concurrence of her husband, who was in the service of Mr. Page, whom it was intended to serve; Mr. Page gave her no remuneration, but paid the rent of the room she occupied for the five weeks she was so engaged. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, the Jury retired, and about nine o'clock re turned into Court, and found a verdict for the de fendant. PHYSICIANS KEEPING LUNATIC The following observations are from an unpublished speech of the Soliciter-General, delivered before the Lord Chancellor, in opposing a petition Lunatico de inquiren do, in the case of Mr. Edward Davis, a supposed lunatic : " Now I must make a few observations on Dr. Bur rows, I cannot but think that it is a matter of great re gret that Dr. Burrows, who is brought forward to give evidence, (I say it is a matter of deep regret) that he should keep this establishment. It seems to me to throw a taint on his evidence. He wants to fill his establishment. I do not wish to speak unkindly, but a man who keeps that establishment, keeps it in a way of trade. It is net a place for a physician to keep ; he ought not to keep it. He, as a physician, ought to say, who is to go there, and no person whose advice is to be taken, ought to have a receiving house. Nobody supposes that be keeps it as a place of amusement, he desires his establishment to be full. And when I find him called in to a poor mild creature, when I hear him calling for a straight waistcoat, and but for circumstances, would have put that waistcoat on a man whom his keepers abandon to himself, and pay no more attention to than they would to a passing stranger, I am hound to make these remarks. "If Dr. Burrows should dislike these observations, he should be content with the common profit derived from his profession. He says, lam ready to answer any question.' I want to chew your Lordship the danger of daaling with a person like Dr. Burrows, who is not con tent with that common profit which puts him on a level with other gentlemen, as a physician, in having to give advice, but he must keep a place of this sort for persons who are supposed to be insane, and therefore has a direct interest. He has a direct interest against the honest ad vice he ought to give. If he is called in to say whether a man ought to go to the retreat or not, I think I can tell whether interest would make him thoroughly weigh the case. THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE. COURT OF COMPENSATION, GUILDHALL, Dxc. It. This morning a Court of Compensation was held before Mr. Sojeatit AnAß's, in order to ascertain the damage sustained by persons, the removal of %NI - m.3e premises are necessary to make the approach to the new London-bridge. IN TIIE MATTER OF WM. BOUTS AND JAMES SMITH. These parties claimed compensation for removal from their premises, No. 21, Crooked- ane. Mr. MittEitousE called Mr. Smi:l , , one of the city surveyors, who proved that he had made . a fair valuation, and considered 3501. an adequdte compensation. , Mr. Pullen, the city broker, had valued the fix tures, and their utmost value was 301. Verdict by consent, for the lease and reversion, 3501.; for the fixtures, 301. IN THE MATTER OF PHILIP ELLIOT AND TilOS. BOND. In this case, in which the parties had consented to the amount, the COMMON SERJEANT said he had only to call witnesses to prove that the premises were necessary to the approaches to the bridge, and that the amount agreed upon was a full and faircom pensation for the premises, No. 37, Crooked-lane. Mr. Montague and Mr. Pullen were again called, and a Verdict was delivered — For the reversionary interest £6o Lease 1,150 Fixtures 142—X1,552. The Court then adjourned. UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF MR. JEFFERSON. . (From the _Delaware Journal.) Mr. EDITOR,— In these days of nominal re-. form, when the faith of many honest men begins to be staggered in the favourite doctrine of the nation—the people's adequacy to self-government when thg . friends (If the present method of ad. ministering the free institutions of a free people are disposed to characterise their doings, or rather their misdoings, with the cry of reform,. reform ! and to screen .. themselves, or attempt . defence behind the rampart of Thomas Jeffer son's example, it may not be amiss to present your readers with an original, and I presume, hitherto unpublished letter, from President Jef ferson to the late Governor Hall. This letter is. as the letter itself shows, a reply to sundry citi zens of the State, who had addressed the Presi dent, praying the removal of Colonel M'Lane from the Office of Collector of the Port of Wil mington. The friends of President Jackson and the existing Administration; may here learn Thomas Jefferson's method with a political op ponent in office. His fixed determination not to exercise the power of removal, except in cases of incompe tency or unfaithfulness. The sequel of this letter will probably explain the reasons why it has not before been made public ; but Thomas Jefferson, the then,President of the United States, David Hall, the then Governor of the State of Delaware, and Allen M'Lane, the then Collec tor of Wilmington, being all deceased, and the circumstances which form the reasone of the re quest that the letter should not be made public having ceased to exist, it will not be thought out of order, we hope, that the whole letter be published verbatim. Such letters begin now to be looked upon as the precious relics of old times ; and in these times of trial, when so many extraordinary political doctrines are taught, any thing from the pen of Thomas Jefferson, in relation to public offices, should certainly not be withheld from the public. The letter is in Mr. Jefferson's hand-writing, and is word for word as follows : _ _ _ " Wallington, July 6, 1802. " SIR,—I received in due time your favours of May 31st and June 9—the former covering an address from a Democratic Republican Meet ing at Dover, the latter one from the Grand and General Juries of the Circuit Court of the United States held at Dover—both of them praying a removal of Allen M'Lane from the office of Collector of the Customs at Wihnington. " When I first came into the Administration, complaints were exhibited against Col. M'Lane, and an inquiry immediately directed to be made into his conduct. Every opportunity which could be desired was given, on both sides, to the producing of testimony ; and on a very full in vestigation he was finally acquitted. He had a right to consider that acquittal as a bar to every thing anterior; and certainly, according to sound principles, it must be so considered. lam per suaded that the Republican Citizens who have concurred in these Addresses would be as in capable of wishing me to do any thing which should bring a just censure on the Administra tion, as I should be from yielding to such a wish. We have no interest nor passions dif ferent from those of our fellow-citizens. We have the same object—the success of Represen tative Government. Nor are we acting for our. selves alone, ,but for the whole human race. The event of our experiment is to spew whether man can be trusted with self-government. The eyes of suffering humanity are fixed on us with anxiety as their only hope, and on such a theatre and for such a cause we must sup press all smaller passions and local considera tions. ;The leaders of Federalism say that man cannot be trusted with his own government. We must do no act which shall replace them in the direction of the experiment. We must not, by any departure from principle, dishearten the mass of our fellow-citizens who have confided to us this interesting cause. If, since the date of the acquittal, Colonel M'Lane has done any act inconsistent with his duty as an officer, or as an agent of the administration, this would be legitimate ground for new inquiry, into which I should consider myself as free to enter. No particular fact of this kind is charged in the ad dresses ; but only that he is disagreeable to the citizens of the place. This would be among the proper considerations on the appointment of an officer, and ought before appointment to have weight; but after many years' possession of an office, and an exact discharge of its duties, re moval for this reason would not be approved by those beyond the pale of his unpopularity. " Our opponents are so disposed to make a malignant use of whatever comes from me, to torture every word into meanings never intended, in order to veil their own passions and principles, that I must ask the favour of you to communi cate verbally the sentiments of this letter to those who forwarded their addresses through you, not permitting the letter or any copy to go out of your own hands. I pray you to accept assur ances of my highest consideration and respect. " THOMAS JEFFERSON." " Governor Hall." "It maybe said that this is exceeding illiberal ; that Dr. Burrows would not be influenced by these motives. I do not say he would, but he has an interest in opposition to his duty. You cannot serve two masters, you cannot do your daty, unless you put yourself in a situation where interest will not come in contact with duty : therefore Dr. Burrows must expect these comments, and I hope they will be received. Here is a young man soon excited, and exceedingly angry with any man who attempts to make him mad, and having been excited, if you send any doctor (Dr. Latham, or any other mad doctor), he will find him in a highly excited state. They have only got to put a question to him, I suppose, because, of course, they believe the man to be mad. They have confidence in each other, and believe that a mad doctor would not put him there, unless he were mad. ' Dr. Burrows,' say they, I am sati,fied would not put him there unless he were mad.' Then they have a few questions to put to him. Are you angry with your mother for putting you here?' Exceedingly so.' Then you are angry at those who say you ought to remain here?' Certainly I am.' Then, as they retire, they go into another room, where there is ink and paper, and there is a certificate signed. In this way they establish that a man is mad. The truth is, that any man may be mad in these circumstances. I do not see who is to escape a system of that sort,"— World. A letter from Havre announces that a most deplorable event bad occurred in that town. Whilst some carpenters were occupied in breaking up an old ship (La Fortune,) a part of the side of the stern fell off, and crushed the men who were at work underneath. Of n i ne, four only had time to save themselves. The other fivo were pressed under the wreck. The master carpenter and one workman were taken out lifeless ; a second workman had his legs broken : a third was grievously mangled ; and an apprentice had one leg broken. The unfortunate per sons who have been killed have left widows and orphans. Q uo tic/it nue. . • . I THE LOST JEWELS! !

" This is a professed and eloquent defence of mental improvement in females, which the ignorant of their own sex, and the 'simple ones' of ours, have agreed to stig matize by the epithet of bas bleuism.' The 'book is a good book ;' its objects are laudable, its opinions sensible. It contains many sound reflections on the prevailing de fects of female training.

This was an action of trover brought by the assig nees of a bookseller, named Bumpus, against the defendant, a printer, to whom Bumpus had, before his bankruptcy, intrusted some stereotype plates for the.purpose of printing from them a certain number of copies of the works for which they had been pre pared, to recover the value of those plates, they having been sold by order of the defendant, in dis charge of a debt due to him from the bankrupt, for tvhich he claimed a lien upon them. The case was tried once before in this court, when the Lord Chief Justice Best presided, and under his Lordship's di rection a verdict was found for the defendant. That verdict having been set aside, the cause now came down for trial a second time. There were three grounds of defence-Ist. That all the plates in question not having been included in the demand, this action could not be supported as to those omit ted, because there was no proof of a conversion. Second, that inasmuch as the sale took place with the assent of the plaintiffs, it did not amount to a conversion; and thirdly, that by the custom of the trade a printer had a lien upon any stereotype plates in his possession for all the debts which the pub• lisher, who was the owner of them, might owe him for printing. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. PALACE COURT, DEC. 4. LIABILITY OF HUSBANDS.-WARD V. PAGE. Mr. FLANNAGAN, for the plaintiff, said, this was the case of a husband refusing to pay for the neces sary maintenance of a wife whom he had abandoned. The plaintiff was a female, keeping a small chand ler's shop in Great Chesterfield -street, Marylebone ; and the defendant was a man of good property, har ing a house of business in Park -street, Grosvenor square, and a country house in Church-row, Pan cras. Whatever were the original causes of dif ference between the defendant, Mr. Page, and his wife, it was not necessary now to enquire ; however it did so happen that, after a variety of attacks, she was at length compelled to quit his roof. She at first took shelter with a person named Grinfield, but on account of some objection made by her husband, she removed from thence, and went to reside with the plaintiff, Mrs. Ward, where she resided in December and January last. After that she re turned home again; but in July she was again com pelled to seek protection of the plaintiff, in conse quence of the defendant coming home late one night to Church-row, and taking every article of furniture away from the house, leaving her totally destitute, and not even a bed to lie upon. The amount of the plaintiff's demand for supporting Mrs. Page was 241. 1 Is., which she now sought to recover at the hands of the Jury. The Learned Counsel then quoted several cases, to prove that if the wife found herself obliged, by cruelty or ill-treatment, to fly from her husband, he was, nevertheless, bound to defray the necessary expences of maintaining her. Mrs. Hodgkinson was the mother of Mrs. Page, who had been married to the defendant about 14 years; he was a perfumer in Park-street, and also owned the house adjoining; he had formerly a house also in Church-row, Pancras; he was in a very good business; Mr. and Mrs. Page were hardly a twelve month together without her being obliged to fly from home; she had repeatedly came to witness; in December, 1828, Mrs. Page left home and went to reside with Mrs. Ward, in Great Chesterfield-street where she staid a month or two; they had two children, girls, one thirteen and the other seven years old; witness had frequently observed Mr. Page ill use his wife; he used to strike her, and once kicked her down stairs, which produced a miscarriage. When she left her husband last, witness saw cara vans taking all the furniture from the house in Church-row, and Mrs. Page, who was left with nothing but what she stood in, was admitted into au empty house next door to pass the night. Cross-examined by Mr. EARLE—Witness did not drink gin frequently, but occasionally; would not swear it was not every day; she never drank gin enough to make her tipsy ; she certainly never fell down in the street when she came out ; Mrs. Page was taller than Mr. Page, but she could not tell which was the stronger ; Mr. Page was mere savage?' ; 827.

MR. O'CONNELL. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) We publish a very remarkable letter of Mr. O'Connell's (copied from the Pilot), on the Beresfords and the Waterford election. Docu ments are alluded to in this letter, with a call upon the opposite side to publish them, and as it is likely they will come forth, we think it right to withhold our opinion on the entire case, as far as it regards Mr. O'Connell, until they are before the public. For the present we will only express the deep regret with which we have read the passages in the letter that im , peach the motives of certain journalists who have published paragraphs regarding this elec tion. If those paragraphs have evinced the least wish for the success of Lord George Beresford, all we can say is that we do not sympathise with them. If they tended to impress the belief that the Noble Lord would be a suitable or useful representative for Waterford, or that many more candidates could not be found preferable to any Beresford, or that Lord George possesses any claim upon Waterford, unless what may be founded upon a hearty repudiation of his former politics, and such a thorough and unqualified oblivion of the past and reconciliation for the future, as would restore every being of the ob jected tenantry to their lost possessions—if this was the tendency of the paragraphs, or any of them, they convey no opinion or sentiment of ours. Yet far be it from us to believe that one of them was published from sinister or corrupt motives, or that " bribery" could have had the least instrumentality, direct or indirect, in pro curing their insertion. The cha'racter of pub lic men is public property, and we know not what character should be held more sacred than that of the individual who endea vours to serve the public, through God knows what toils and perils at the press. To deal ri gidly and unceremoniously with the journalist may undoubtedly deprive some persons of their power of doing mischief, but it may deprive many more of their opportunities of doing good. We are by no means prepared to stand up for the impeccability of the press, but the rank and flagrant injustice, and positive mischief, in a public sense, of assailing it by giddy or conjec tural imputations, must, we think, be manifest to all. Who could " bribe" the Times with its tens of thousands of annual revenue, who can purchase the opinions of any decent journalist, who has the animal sagacity to see that " ho nesty, is the best policy," and that the public are, in the short as well as the long run, the best paymasters ? Can men be bribed or even wheedled into the expression of an opi nion not sanctioned . by their own judgment, some of whom would have courage and virtue enough to assert their principles at the hazard of their professional existence. To talk indeed of " bribery" with reference to this miserable little trar.saction about the Beresfords is pre posterous. We hope we will never hear of it again from the pen or the lips of Mr. O'Con nell. If he writes or speaks merely for effect, let him recollect that he uses weapons which may be used against himself, and to the preju dice of these efforts for the country, which he is so capable of making, and from which so much of benefit to his generation, and glory to himself is anticipated. His quarrels with the press can only give pleasure to the common enemy, and militate against the interests of Ire land. The popular journalists, as far as we know them, are his personal well wishers and friends ; and it will, we are sure, be his own fault if they not always disposed to give him cordial and perfectly disinterested support in every public endeavour of his at all compatible with their sense of what is useful or attainable. YOUNG NAPOLEON. " The eyes of the enlightened people on the Continent are bent on Vienna, but not on Prince Metternich." So said the Constitutionnel a few months ago ; and much more is contained in that asser tion than the upholders of legitimacy, and the mad crew of Ultras, who do tag, at least, the German Press, will allow Europe to learn. There is, nevertheless, a wild and glowing spirit in the young Duke of Reichstadt, which I greatly doubt either Austrian state prisons, or Mctternich's state lessons, will do aught but increase and inflame. I must question—and my opinion is founded on very dose and very recent personal observation, aided by the best information to be obtained—l much ques tion but that youth causes more trouble to those now trimming the balance of established Powers, than ever they need fear from the mighty Au tocrat of all the Russias. Nicholas may have an overwhelming horde of barbarian troops, but be can have no hold on, nor can he look for any aid from the Liberals of the Continent—a body daily growing in strength and extent, and em bracing, I may venture to say, the enlightened of every class. But who among them, in the event of that final struggle between the two great warring opinions of the day, which the events of Europe are fast ripening to a crisis, would not receive with joy, and aid with united power (merging as they already do all distinctions of class of country, i❑ the one common continental cause), a man whose inherited name, if not in herited spirit, would be as a key-stone to unite, and as a mighty talisman wherewith to direct and guide the elements of the storm ! His name alone would be a host. The people know it. There has been lately published a little poem, the reception of which in France is alone proof of what I have advanced, entitled Le Fils de Homme, the notes of which contain much new information on the subject of this deeply interesting person ; though 1 have been led to adopt a different view of his general disposition ofcharacter, which gives no sign of that sombre, melancholy turn of mind, which M. Bar thelemy therein assigns him. It is impossible to watch the quick transition of marked expres sion which his countenance continually presents, without perceiving as plainly as though it were there written, that he was never formed in " na ture's coarser mould." It is the one desire of h is heart to be a soldier. On being remonstrated with on this perfectly impermissible desire, and taunted with want of spirit in wishing to be an inferior officer, and to command a dependent body of troops, he replied, " Let me enter the army only as a common soldier—l ask no more." He is kept a close state prisoner, as his pre ceptor allowed to M. B. He is very fond of field sport, in which he is occasionally i dulged. Once he was permitted to attend a review, but the effect was such that the trial was never re peated. He is much beloved throughout the country. The state of deep-seated feeling pervading all ranks on the Continent is little known, or to be guessed at by the passing excitements of party feeling to which we are accustomed in England. The sprit of Liberty and Light is widely gone forth, more strongly evinced, because more clearly contrasted, against the blacker ground work of foreign despotism and bigotry ; it has settled deeply on the souls of the people ; I could say much, too, of the energetic efforts employed to stay, its progress and smother its force by those holding yet the magni nominis umbra of established power ; the life and the spirit, and with them all lasting might, have, however, departed, from their hands. GERMAN PAPERS. (From the Ilamburg Reporter of Dec. 4.) COPENHAGEN, Nov. 28.—The Commissioners appointed in April last year to examine the Light houses on the Norwegian coast, have concluded their labours, and presented a detailed report. The result is, that in the period of nineteen or twenty years sixteen new light-houses must be built, and others repaired and improved. The expences are estimated at 113,90 n specie dollars (about 28,0001. sterling), once for all as the first cost, and the an nual expence of keeping them in order at 10,706 dollars. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway has, in consequence, given orders that some of the proposed light-houses, the first cost of which is estimated at 14,700 dollars, and the an nual expence 1,620 dollars, shall be immediately erected. It is well known that Commissioners hare been appointed, as well in Norway as in Sweden, to draw up a new penal code. Some Members of both Commissions are to meet in Stockholm, and to confer together in order to draw up the new codes for both kingdoms, as nearly as possible on the same principles.

TALES OF THE CLASSICS.-The Christmas and New Year's gift, advertised under this title, promises to become not only a most useful manual for the purposes of education in schools and families, but also a compen dium suited to the cabinet or study of the amateur of the fine arts, and an interesting vale-mecum to every traveller in his tour through Italy and other countries of classic interest. It has been compiled by a lady of great talents, for the amusement and instruction of her own daughters with a view to their acquiring, in the most unexcep tionable manner, a competent knowledge of the fables, legend, and allegories that have been the themes of the most celebrated poets, painters, and sculptors, from the earliest ages to the present day; a branch of instruction indispensably requisite in a polite and liberal education. A gentleman's coachman not long since, as he washed his master's carriage during divine service on Sun day morning, was heard to say that " he hoped his master and mistress prayed for him, as he had no time to pray for himself." He brought his lady home from the opera at one in the morning; then went to fetch his master from the " Hell," in St. James's-street; and by the time he had littered and rubbed down his horses, and got to his own bed, it was four o'clock ; he thought after that he could not do less than sleep till nine; by h:df-past ten he had got his breakfast, and at twelve his carriage was ready; at one he took his dinner; at two he was ordered to be at the dooc to take his lady and the young ladies to the Park ; at five he returned, and was ordered out at six to carry the family to dinner ; after setting them down, he was directed to come at half-past eleven ; and by two o'clock on Monday morning the poor man was once more in bed. Now, per mit me to ask you, whether this man, or his master, or any of the family, can, or dare, " profess and call them selves Christians ?"—Record. GLOBE INSURANCE CONIPANY.—A spe cial Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company Was held yesterday, at their office, in Cornhill, to take into consi der atom the propriety of reducing the salaries of the Chair man and Directors. The subject created a great sensation among the Shareholders. Mr. COLES was in the Chair. :Ur. HUNTER, by whom the subject was introduced to the meeting, disclaimed all motives of personal feeling towards the Directors. The East India Company's affairs, which were very extensive, we: e (he observed) conducted by a smaller Board of Directors than the Globe. He concluded by moving a Resolution to the effect, that the salary of the Chairman be reduced from 5001. to 2001. per annum, and that of the Directors from 1501. to 1001.—The Resolution was seconded. Several Proprietors opposed the motion on the ground that it would lessen the confidence of the public in the Company.--Mr. CHAPMAN observed that many persons crrald be found to undertake the duty of Di. rector for 751. a year, but confidence could not he reposed in them. Under the management of their present Direc tors, their capital of one million had increased to one mil !ion five hundred thousand pouds. This proved that their affairs prospered in their hands. It the Meeting agreed to the motion, it would not only create a prejudice in the eyes of the public, but would cast a most undeserved re flection on the Dirtcto-s.—The question was then put from the Chair, when there appeared for the motion, 24 ; against it, 54—majority against the motion, 30, AIM • ip-„,,,„„ LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I 1 , 1829. The French Papers of Wednesday have been received this morning by Express. The account by them from New Orleans of the 10th October, of General BARRADAS having blown his brains out, does not appear to be correct, as we have information from the above quarter to the 28th October, stating that he was still there : (From the Messager des Charnbres of Wednesday.) (SECOND EDITION.) PARIS, DEC. 9. A letter from New Orleans, dated the 10th of October, which has arrived this morning by way of New York, announces that General Barradas blew out his brains on the second day after his landing in the United States. It was affirmed at New Or leans that another expedition, which had sailed from Manilla and other ports in the Phillippine Islands, had landed on the west coast of Mexico, in the South Sea, and invaded the province of Oajaca.— This news is confirmed by a Journal of Vera Cruz, but it is not probable that an expedition from the Phillippines could be sufficiently numerous or for midable to excite much alarm in the Mexican States. However, we must soon receive information re specting these important facts, which we shall im mediately lay before our readers. A ship from Alexandria, in Egypt, which has ar rived at Marseilles, has brought the following news, dated the 20th of October. " That a great inundation of the Nile had taken place on the 25th of October; that two villages, with their inhabitants, had been swept away, that 250,000 ardebs of provisions, and a quantity of in digo and cotton had been carried away by the waters, which would have inundated Alexandria, if the engineers had not turned them into another channel. _ _ " That the squadron of the Pacha united with some ships belonging to the Sultan which were at Alexandria, was to sail about the 4th of November for Constantinople, in consequence of orders from the Sultan." The illoniteur of to-day contains two Royal Or dinances, countersigned by M. Montbel, concerning bounties for the encouragement of the cod and whale fisheries. These two documents, each preceded by a very detailed report, addressed to his Majesty, promise us that two projects of law for the final re gulation of the bounties for the encouragement of these fisheries shall be prepared to be laid before the Chambers, in order that the laws on the subject may be promulgated before the Ist of March, 1832. The opposition of the Gazette to M. Chabrol, much more than the reflections of the Constitutionnel on the loan of 80 millions, has caused a long article in its defence in the Moniteur of to-day. The departure of the King for Compiegne took place yesterday morning. The list of the persons that accompany his Majesty on this journey does not seem indifferent. Some admissions and some rx elusions are more or less directly connected with the ideas of the immediate dissolution of the Ministry, and the necessity of forming a new one. During this journey there will be fewer people about the King—his ear will be more accessible ; and, in the little Court of Compiegne, the true friends of the Monarch will doubtless be the majority. One of the persons who was the most seriously consulted before his Majesty's departure for Con piegne, respecting the present crisis, and the indis pensible necessity of recomposing the Cabinet, was Count Roy. M. de Chabrol was afterwards com missioned to draw up various lists, according to the proposals of the noble peer. This accounts for the attacks of the Journal of M. Polignac against the present Minister of Finance. It is affirmed that the name of M. de Belleyme is on all these lists. (From the Gazette de France.) PARIS, DEC. 8. We can affirm, that there is no foundation for the reports which have been spread for these two days past respecting a change in the Ministry, and con sequently that none of the negotiations with which the Journals have been filled merits the smallest at tention.

The following are extracts from Dutch and German Papers received this morning:— FROM THE FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, NOV. 20. It is worthy of remark, that in the interior of the Russian empire the peace does not excite soy great enthusiasm, since the conditions of the treaty of Adrianople have become known. Even the caution with which officers coming from the army express themselves respecting the result of the glorious war, gives some reason to conjecture that they endeavour to conceal a certain dissatisfaction. On one point, however, they are ► l uite explicit, ascribing every ob stacle that hindered the communication of their vic tory to the influence of foreigners, which they had no reason to fear; they even insinuate that foreigners have endeavoured to counteract the interest of Rus sia even in the Cabinet itself. If this indication of dissatisfaction may be chiefly ascribed to the circumstances, that after the excite ment and animation of war, the sudden tiresome stagnation awakens the passion of an ambition that is not yet satiated, it is not to be denied that the difficulties . which appear to oppose the fulfil ment of the conditions of the treaty in some degree justify the apprehension that Russia has, without sufficient security for the future, been too hasty in sheaving itself generous to an impla cable enemy, and thereby left him time to insure for a future occasion that foreign aid which in the pre sent would have come too late. Thence a certain discontent and regret that the opportunity was not taken full advantage of, may be accounted for, and perhaps even excused ; but it may be expected from the wisdom of the Cabinets, that they will prosecute with judgment and energy the real inte rests of Europe. THE HAGUE, DEC. 6. Accounts have been received from Batavia to the 30th July. They bring a report of Lieut.-Colonel Le Bron de Vexela, Commander of the troops in Pajang, respecting an expedition undertaken by him in pursuit of the rebels, who assembled in force in the southern mountains. This expedition was successful, the Lieut.-Colonel having made himself master of a strong dessa of the enemy's, called Giger, situated on an almost inaccessible rock, after having made six attempts to carry it by storm. On this occasion the notorious Jomogolo, and a priest, With a number of the insurgents were killed. Three cannons, with a quantity of arms and ammunition were taken.

The Journals now notice the Emperor's illness in the following terms : His Majesty the Emperor having been indisposed for several days with a fever caused by a cold, we are happy to say that his Majesty is now infinitely better, and that the disorder, which takes its regular course, does not give the smallest ground for unea- einess. They add the bulletin of 23d November. We have received the following this morning from our Paris Correspondent:— " PARIS, DEC. 9. " Since my letter of yesterday was despatched, I do not find that any thing to be relied on ha transpired on the subject of further changes in the French Ministry, although it does not seem to be seriously doubted in any quarter that some early and important change is in contemplation. Rumours indeed are rife ; but when traced to their source, they are generally found to originate in something analagous to the Duke of Wel lington's late visit to Woburn or the shooting party at Stowe, such as that Count Roy and se veral deputies of the right centre were yesterday present at a diplomatic dinner given by the Prince de Polignac, and that Messrs. Courvoisier and de Ctlabrel were not present at the dinner, but just showed themselves at the soiree, and immediately disappeared. The A/knife:lr of this morning, however, contains a long and laboured article in defence of the new financial measure of M. de Chabrol, in answer to *he somewhat severe strictures of the Gazette, and the belief is certainly gaining ground that before the King set out on the visit which he is now making to Compiegne, he authorised M. de Chabrol to re construct the Cabinet on the principle of a co alition. The more, however, that I reflect on this subject, the more am I convinced that a coalition Ministry, in which either of the two extremes was to form a part, if in combination with those more than a single shade removed from their own sentiments, would prove so hete rogeneous in its composition as to make it ut terly inefficient as an organ of government. " I turn with pleasure from that fear of change,' which is perhaps equally distracting to monarchs and their ministers, to open again the instructive volumes lately published by the Pre fect of the department of the Seine, on certain statistical subjects connected with Paris and its immediate neighbourhood. I shall for the present apply myself to the report prepared by a Com mission of Inquiry, which had been appointed by the Minister of the Interior, on the 7th of July, 1828, to examine into the causes which had produced the stagnation and discredit which had become notorious in those speculations, having for their object the opening of new streets, the construction of new quarters, and, in ge neral, the details of building operations in Paris. This report appears to have been prepared by M. Daubanton, one of the Inspectors-General of the streets and sewers of Paris, who has cer tainly collected a number of curious statistical facts, and has raised upon them a variety of inge nious conjectures and hypotheses. " The symptoms of the building mania in Paris are said to have been perceptible so long ago as the year 1817. The years 1825 and 1826, the famous prosperity years as they were named in England, in compliment no doubt to the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, were in Paris also the period of the paroxysm. In 182?, the frenzy ceased by mere ex haustion of strength; and weakness and debility have since succeeded to the extreme heat of the fever under the consequences of which it appears that the patient is still labouring. During the years 1825 and 1826, the number of masons and other labourers engaged in building operations, who come annually from the provinces to Paris during the building season, had encreased from 30,000 the number in 1817 to 45,000 the numbers in 1825 and 1826. In spite of this great increase in the number of labourers, the supply does not appear to have been equal to the demand, as during the same period the wages of such labourers had risen thirty per cent. or in the proportion of ten to thirteen ; the increase in the price of build ing materials, according to the same mode of cal culation was from twenty to twenty-five per cent., while the rise in the price of building-ground was beyond all bounds. " It appears from the Report, that during the ten years and a half, from the end of 1817 till after the first six months of 1828, there was an increase of 1979, in the number of the houses in Paris. During the same period, in consequence of the increased value of building-ground, a great number of old houses had been raised or renewed, and the addi tional accommodation produced by the operations is stated to have been equivalent to 692 new houses. The total increase is, therefore, estimated at 2,671 Hew houses, and it is on this number that M. Dau banton has founded his calculations. The mean dimensions of the houses in Paris are stated to be 14 yards in front, 12 in depth, and 18 in height ; leaving, after the necessary deductions for the thickness of the walls, and for staircases, &c., about 2,400 cubic yards of habitable space. — For the medium or average size of a house, these dimensions would be much too great for London ; but they are easily accounted for from the manner of living in Paris, where, with very few exceptions, a considerable number of families live under the same roof. This, indeed, is taken for granted in these calculations; for, in order to arrive at the nu►n ber of individuals who would be accommodated by the 2,671 new . houses, M. Daubanton refers to Tredgold's work on the economy of buildings, in which it is stated that seventeen cubic yards of space are necessary to the accommodation of a prisoner, from which it is inferred that some times that amount, or 68 cubic yards, are required for an individual in a state of liberty. According to the calculation, 2,671 houses would lodge 94,270 individuals, at the rate of 35 to each house ; but as the author admits that the theory he has raised on the ascertained number of new houses is contradicted by various facts, he allows that 40 individuals may be accommodated in each house, which makes the new buildings applicable to the wants of 106,840 inhabitants. I am persuaded, however, that 40 individuals or eight families, is too small a number for the average of each house in Paris, and this is proved by the fact of the increase in the population of the French capital during the period in question. " It may in fact be very desirable, that every in dividual in a crowded capital should enjoy sixty• eight cubic yards of free space, which is scarcely more than the cubic contents of a chamber twelve feet square, but the fact is undeniable, that in Paris as in other great towns, the large numerical ma jority are forced to content themselves with flinch more limited accommodation ; whole families being crowded together in narrow and low-roofed abodes, affording less free space than oven the moderate al lowance which is given by Tredgold to the inhabi tants of a prison. Assuming however, that the facts founded on are correct, and that Paris has in creased its population to the extent of 340,000 souls in the last twenty-five years, it follows that the inhabitants in general are not so well lodged as they formerly were, since it is ascertained, and in - - deed is obvious to every observer, that the number of houses at present to let in Paris is excessive, whereas, according to M. Daubanton's theory, the demand for new houseS should have all along ex ceeded the supply, and there should at this mo ment be a positive want of 3,243 houses, with a corresponding unaccommodated population. "'While on the subject of building, I may mention it as an extraordinary circumstance that machinery, which is so much more generally employed in other arts in England than in France, should in Paris be more extensively applied to the purposes of the ma son and the builder than even in those towns of Great Britain where free-stone is the chief material employed. The saw in cutting, and the screw in rais ing are much more generally used, and indeed the whole of the tools and implements employed by this class of labourers infer a much higher degree of in genuity in their application. This seems to be a subject well worthy of the attention of the Lecturers in the numerous Mechanics' Institutions in England. In this country, I assure you, there is no want of that kind of stimulus arising from international emula tion, to induce the people of France to borrow all they can from their neighbours. At the lectures on practical chemistry in the Conservatoire des Arts et Metieres, which are with great liberality thrown open to the public, and which I occasionally attend, I often hear the strongest appeals made to the necessity which exists that in all the useful arts France should not allow itself to fall below the level of England. The late experiments at Liverpool in the speed of locomotive carriages on railways, are evidently regarded with great apprehension ; and when a learned professor, of considerable power as an orator, alluded to the advantages which Great Britain would possess by means of her steam•vessels in the event of another war, it is not easy to convey to you the strong sen sation which was perceptible throughout an audience consisting of all classes of society." ' Despatches were received last night at the Foreign Office from St. Petersburgh, dated the 25th of November. At that time the Emperor NICHOLAS was considered in a convalescent state, and free from danger. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in Town last night from the seat of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, at Stowe.

when it was ordered that a strikrxedeas should issue, the solicitor personally payi ng t h e costs. Mr. Iloans stated, th a t h e t h oug ht th ere h a d b een some Misunderstanding, the Registrar having drawn up tl.e order as if the solicitor had been ordered to pay the costs personally. That order he (the Learned Counsel) never understood the Court to have pronounced. The ground s of the application for the supe-sedeas were most singular, the bankrupt stating upon his affidavit that lie teas pe r f ectly solvent ; but at the same time being obliged to admit that he was confined in prison for not paying one of his creditors. The trading, too, was equally singular, tho•bank rupt, b eing incarcerated in the walls of a prison, had carried on a most flourishing trade, by selling to his fellow prisoners meat and drink. At the time of the dis cussion of the petition, he (Mr. Horne) felt bound to say, the petiti on i ng creditor's debt was so constituted, that it c ould not support the comtnission ; but he could see no thing what ever i n the conduct of the solicitor, calling upon t he Court to make him personally pay the costs. He felt q u ite Sure that this was a mistake of the Registrar's, and trusted the Court would direct the minutes of the erder to be corrected. Mr. Rost contra had no doubt the order drawn up by the Registrar was the one pronounced by the Court. The solicitor had not only been the solicitor of the petitioning creditor, but he also, on a former occasion, appeared as at torney fur the bankrupt. Mr. H ORNE—Surely that can be no ground for his per sonally payin g the costs.

The supplies of Wheat, Barley, and Flour, this week are tolerably good ; of Oats the arrivals continue small. The Wheat trade reu a;ns much the same as reported on Moni!ay !a=t. Barley for malting sells freely, other sorts are dull at last Tiotation. Beans and Pease are unaltered. Oats of good quality find buyers at rather higher prices, but the demand for other descriptions is limited. The Flour trade has no variation from our last report. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour. English Irish Foreign _: 150 Wis. CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.) PLANTATION SCGARS.—The demand this week has been 'very limited, and some of the soft brown and mid dling qualities have been sold on rather low terms, but the strong refining and fine Grocery descriptions not being pressed on the Market, maintain their prices; the Barba does:offered by public sale on Tuesday went off heavily, but not generally at any material reduction in prices. FOLEIGN SocAns.—There does not appear to have been any sales made this week. REFINED SCOARS are in less demand this week, the buyers for the Continent having discontinued their pur chases, the lateness of the season preventing their making any further shipments for the present; Low Lumps in consequence have become rather more plentiful, and lower prices have ken accepted, some parcels having been sold as low as 705.. and 70s. 6d. ; of crashed also the sales have been more limited, but the great scarcity of the sort of goods suitable for making it (for the Mediterranean, has prevented any material re duction, but the Refiners appear inclined to ac cept offers when they are made, and consequently business can be done upon rather more favourable terms; of fine Hamburg Loaves for the Doublo Refined bounty's he stock- on hand is rather accumulating, and the Refiners are rather pressing them on the Market, and purchases could be made at the present moment, crashed at 395. fid. a 40s. ; in the finer descriptions for the gro cery trade also there is very little doing. COFFEE.—OnIy one public sale has been brought for ward this week, consisting chiefly of the ordinary sorts of Plantation, which went off without alteration; but a few lots of the middling qualities (being ill demand for home trade) brought Is. a 2s. advance. FRUIT.—About 700 brls. of new red Smyrna Raisins have been sold this week, but at 2s. lower prices than were quoted last week; the importers on Monday last to effect sales having accepted 415., at which price they now continue on tap. In new Currants there is no alteration, the trade continuing to take them as they are wanted at 705., but pick the finest parcels. The price of new Va lentia Raisins has been advanced to 48g., but none have been taken off at present at that price. New Turkey pulled Figs continue to be inquired after, but the finest parcels have been nearly all taken out of the market. In the finer descriptions of new Fruit there is only a limited business doing. Rust.—There is a good inquiry for Leewards, but not much business has been done. Jamaicas are less in de mand. Prices as last quoted. EAST INDIA TEA ALE.—This afternoon the Com pany's sale of Teas closed, and it may be fairly stated that the declaration has been got through with more briskness than for many sales past. Low Twankeys have gone off Ad. per lb. cheaper ; the finer sorts are from 24. to 3d. per lb. dearer. Low Ifysons hare gone off one penny dearer, but the finer sorts are the same as last sale. COTTON here and at Liverpool is less i❑ demand, but prices are firm. BALTIC Pannucc -The date from St. Petersburgh is the 25th ult.

The cow, from some unknown cause, suddenly turned on the child. Sir HARCOURT, with great quickness, threw himself between the enraged animal and the boy, and with his walking cane struck her a violent blow on the forehead ; which had the effect of making her retreat some paces.— However, it was only for the purpose, as it appeared to an eye-witness, who furnished us with the account, of making a second and more wicked assault on the worthy Baronet himself, who, cool and undismayed, protecting his child with his left hand, averted the charge by a still more powerful blow on a tender part of the nose, which had the effect of bringing the cow on her knees ; at this critical moment the dog that had been in advance of the party, turned round, and perceiving the danger to which his kind master was exposed, rushed forward and seized the animal by the forehead, and thus diverted her from her contemplated attack, which was taken advantage of by Sir HARCOURT. He called loudly to the man, who was look ing on, paralyzed with fear, to drive forward, which had the desired effect, for the cow immediately followed the car, and gave up all further attack.—Dublin Morning Register. A Meeting of the Friends of Mr. R. B. WATTS, whose case of meditated suicide has appeared in the newspapers, was held on Wednesday, at the Equestrian Coffee-house, near the Surrey Theatre. Mr. ELLISTON, who took the Chair, strongly urged the Meeting to spare no exertion to assist Mr. WATTS, who was deserving of their sympathy, and who, as the founder of the Philan thropic Societies, had caused relief to be afforded to many thousands. Mr. ELLISTON accompanied his recommenda tion by subscribing five pounds, and said he would allow Mr. WATTS to have a benefit one night at his house; and after his friends had done the utmost they could for him, he would give him an engagement of 11. a week at the Theatre. This speech of Mr. ELLISTON'S drew ferth loud applause. Several other gentlemen followed Mr. EwsroN's example, and the Meeting then separated. TRADE IN LElTH.—Business in general has been for sore time past as dull in Leith as it is in any of the inland towns, exclusively dependent on manufactures. There are no new houses going forward, and there is no appearance of activity in the carpenters' yards. In pros perous times above two hundred hands were employed at the glass-works; but the demand has so decreased that not one-half the number are at present employed. The sail cloth manufactured in Leith is allowed by mariners to be superior to that made in other quarters; it consequently sells higher, and though eventually cheaper, there is so little business doing among the shipping, that the owners, obliged to economise, now rig their vessels with the cheapest canvas that can be obtained. Hence there has been a still greater reduction in the number of men em ployed bot'i in the rope-spinning and sail-cloth manufac ture, than there has been among the glass-blowers. Dealers who have been in business for a quarter of a cen tury, declare that they never saw such dull sales, and such a scarcity r f money.—Scotsman. UNIVERSITY INTEi .I:NCR.

SMITHFIELD PRIZE CATTLE CLUB. Yesterday the Judges appointed to distribute the prizes founded by the Club, met at the Castle and Falcon, and afterwards proceeded to the show-yard, in the Repository, Goswell-street, to inspect the cattle, &c., sent into the thirty-first annual show. The number of cattle sent into the show this year, far exceeds that of any year since the Club was established, and without exception the spec:- mens of fine breeding far surpass all the previous exertions of the feeders, assisted as they have been by the season. The number of fine beasts in the yard occasioned some difficulty among the Judges, as to where the greatest prize should be given. If an abundance of fat is any proof of superior breeding, the cattle sent is this year are beyond praise; in deed, two oxen were unable, after reaching the yard, to support themselves, and sunk under the burtlen : they were killed. Some beautiful specimens of sheep breeding are exhibited, as well as some pigs. Lord Althorp was unable to attend the awarding of the prizes. After the business of the day, the judges and their friends dined together at the Castle and Falcon Tavern. The prizes will be an nounced to-day, when the Cattle Show will be open to public view.

Pat had never seen a duck in his life. Shortly after his entering upon the discharge of his new duties, a brood of chickens and another of ducks were hatched, both by hens. The owner put both broods to one hen, in order to save the services of the other, and told Pat, as he was short of meal, to he particularly sparing in his allowance in feeding them. Pat made a small dish of dough, and commenced feeding his mixed flock, when he was struck with the fact that about half had broad shovels for beaks, and shovelled up the dough very fast, while the others had very small sharp beaks, and got but little of the allowance. " Arrah !my dar lings," says Pat, " fair play is a jewel; I'll just be after putting you upon aqual futing." llest ar t e d for the house, got a pair of shears, caught them of the shovel beak, and sheared them down to the calibre of those of the sharp beak ; put them down and said, " wag away, you spalpeens ; I am told this is a free country, where every man, baist, and bird, are equal ; no exclssive pri vileges, my darlings, if you p leas e." —Providence Ad vertiser. ►YAL ACADEMY.

Sir GEORGE MURRAY transacted business yesterday morning at the office of the Commander of the Forces, in the Horse Guards, with Lord HILL. Sir GZORGE left town in the afternoon, for the Royal 11lilitary College at Sandhurst. Between ten and eleven o'clock last Friday morning, some persons passing on the West-street road, discovered, about half a taile beyond the town, a female, rather elegantly attired, lying on the road, apparently in the agonies of death. They raised her, and conveyed her to the George and Dragon Inn, kept by Mr. T. INELSEY, where she was received with the utmost promptitude, and attended to with commendable humanity. Surgical ad vice was obtained, and it was then discovered that the unhappy woman had swallowed a quantity of laudanum, with the intent of destroying herself ; but, by the appli cation of due means, the deadly effects of the poison were counteracted, and she recovered from the stupor which had benumbed her faculties. Si hen she recovered, how ever, she had to relate a history pregnant with misfortune and crime. She was a native of Scamblesby, but had been for many years living a profligate life in London, until an opportunity presented itself to her of again reaching the home of her childhood. The kindness of an acquaintance furnished her with the means of travelling down to Louth ; she was there taken very ill, however, and sent to those who had been her friends before she plunged into the guilty course she hail adopted ; she conjured them to come to her, and receive her last breath, as she imagined herself dying, but they refused, and even threatened to have her apprehended as a disorderly person. Contrary to her ex pectations, she recovered, but was obliged to leave the few clothes that she could spare to pay the inn-bill. A humane individual paid her coach-fare to Horncastle, and from thence she came on Thursday evening by the Sociable to Boston. After paying her fare she had only one shilling left, and this being expended for her lodging, she had no refreshment from Thursday morning until Friday noon.— Stung to the quick by the harsh manner in which she hail been treated, weary, faint, and desolate, she was at last induced to swallow poison, and wandered forth in the madness of despair to seek her death, when she was promptly rescued from self-destruction. This unfortunate creature is only about 22 years old, but the scenes of crime and misery that she has been called upon to bear a part in, create a sensation of horror and astonishment. She has since so far recovered as to be able to leave Boston fur Scamblesby.—Boston Gazette. MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. A very numerous body of Magistrates, in the Commission lot the county of Middlesex, assembled yesterday in their Sessions•lionse, Clerkenwell, when, in consequence of a r, port received from a et Committee, respecting certain chatges now for the first time preferred against the county by the Clerk of the Peace, a discussion ensued as to the expediency of applying to Parliament to obtain a complete revision of the whole law, relating to fees, emoluments, and duties of that office. Coss - r, Esq. presided as Cliairthati. It may be necessary to premise, that during the forty years Mr. Stirling officiated as deputy clerk ol the peace, he sent in no bill for extra services, but received on account generally about 1,500/. On the appointment of the late Mr. Allen as his successor, that gentleman, at the expiration or a year, sent in a bill, claiming, as the representative of his princi pal, H. C. Selby, Esq. the snm of 555/. for extra services performed for the coanty (luring the year, and for which no remuneration by fees from the suitors of the Court was receivable. The bill was referred to a Committee, whose report thereon was yesterday read. It stated in substance, that the bill consisted of forty-four closely-written columns, and specified charges for services distinct from those for which the Clerk of the Peace was entitled to de mand fees. Colonel CLITIIEROE suggested that the report ought to be printed and circulated among the Ma gistrates, beore they were called upon to adopt it. Mr. Serjeant PELL approved of the suggestion, and recommended that a copy be sent to the Clerk of the Peace also, that he might know the grounds on which the county resisted his claim. Mr. RAWLINSON thought, that in all that they had done and proposed doing, they were merely blinking the question, and that it became the great and influential county cf Middlesex to call to the other counties to co-operate with them ; and if they refused their co -opt-ration, to go by themselves to Parliament, ask for a committtee, and call for the fullest investigation into the whole law relating to the fees, the duties, and the modes of the appoint ment of the Cleik of the Peace. Mr. Serjeant PELL was satisfied, that whenever this question was touched, they would touch the whole consiitution of the appointment of the Clerk of the Peace. Whether the doing so would be pro• ductive of harm or good, he would not then stop to discuss. He was satisfied, however, that if ever the attention of the public were drawn to the subject, it would be productive of infinite good. The report and appendix was then ordered to be printed. The question respecting a revision of the t,ible of fees payable by the suitors of the Court was adjourned, at the suggestion of ?dr. Orme. MR. STIRLING'S BILL. The rule absolute for an attachment against Mr Stirling fcr the non production of his account, or the return of the county papers, which had been obtained avreeably to the ride of a former Court, was produced. Mr. Sejeant PELL said, the question was, what was to be done with respect to this gentleman ? They wished to pay him his bill, andiget back their papers. It was a most melancholy thing, but if he would so pertinaciously resist, they had no alterna tive but to put the attachment into the hands of the sheriff. The CEIAIRMAN said the matter had been a long time not properly noticed. Mr. Stirling had for 40 years nerformed all those duties which were charged for in the bill just brought before them by his suc cessor; and if those charges were allowed, it would make a material difference in the claim Mr. Stirling would have to make. lie thought, therefore, they ought to let it stand over with respect to Mr. Mr. Serjeant PELL said that he would then give notice, that at the next Court day he should, if no thing were done by Mr. Stirling in the interim, move that the attachment be instantly acted upon, Sir GEORGE HAMPCON thought they ought to \vait no longer. Ir would be unfair to allow Mr. Stirling to avail himself of any charges made in Mr. Allen's bill. Mr. Sergeant PkLL said, if he thought this would be done, he wou;d at once move the issuing of the attachment. They would stand in an awkward si tuation if they had now to pay for 40 years' services. Mr. BROUGHTON said that blame attached to the bygone Magistrates, for suffering the accounts to run in arrear. They ought not to proceed harshly with a man in declining health, and already with one foot in his grave. Mr. Serjeant PELL—I f he can still perform the high and important duties of Coroner, he must be perfectly competent to give them his bill. A number of other gentlemen addressed the Court. The papers were said to be of great importance to the county, and it was expected they would elu cidate many outstanding claims to a large amount. It was finally resolved that Mr. Allen, the son of the late deputy, should confer with Mr. Stirling, explain to him what the Court wanted, and apprize him of the consequences, if something were not done by him before Hilary Term. The Hanoverian Minister transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs. CURING A HYPOCIIONDRIAC.—A gentle man who bad for a hug time fancied himself dying of a liver complaint, was advised by Dr. CRAWFORD, of Balti more, to make an excursion into the State of Ohio. After travelling about three months, he returned home appa rently in good health, but, upon receiving information of the death of a twin brother, who had actually died of a schirrous liver, he immediately staggered, and falling down, cried out that he was dead, and had, as he always expected, died of a liver complaint. Dr. CRAWFORD being sent for, immediately attended, and on being in formed of the notion which had seized the hypochondriac, immediately exclaimed, " 0 yes, the gentleman is cer tainly dead, and it is more than probable his liver was the death of him. However, to ascertain the fact, 1 will hasten to cut him open before putrefaction takes place."— He called for a carvine knife, and whetting it as a butcher would to open a calf, he stened up to him, and began to open, his waistcoat. The hypochondriac became so hor ribly frightened, that he leaped up with the agility of a rabbit, and crying out " Murder ! murder ! murder !" ra❑ off with a speed that would have defied a score of Doctors to catch him. After running a considerable dis tance, until he was almost exhausted, he halted ; and not finding the Doctor at his heels, soon became composed.— From that period this gentleman was never known to com plain of his liver, nor had he for more than 20 years after wards any symptoms of this disease.—. New York Paper. On Thursday morning last, a large ship, having signals of distress flying, and being apparently unmanageable, was observed drifting into the Bay of Dun drum ; she struck on the sands between Newcastle and Tyrella—the crew were happily saved. she proved to be the Sir James Kemp, LUNDY, master, bound for Liver pool, with a cargo of timber, from St. John's, New Brunswick. It appears, that having sprung a leak some time previously, she became waterlogged on the 29th of October, and that the crew, consisting of 13 persons and a female passenger, with an infant three months old, were driven to the tops, where they had remained fur five days continually drenched by the sea, and without any suste nance, save a few raw potatoes. A few hours more, and the sufferings of many of them would probably have been terminated. They were brought to shore in a state of extreme exhaustion, and immediately conveyed to Tyrella house, where they have been since restored through the humane exertions of Mrs. HAMILTON. The Preventive Coast Guard of the Tyrella and Newcastle stations, under the command of Captain Mortals, R.N., and Lieutenant HARDING, R.N., were in active attendance, and having launched their boats through a heavy surf, succeeded in reaching the ship shortly after she struck. 'the Rossylass life-boat also, with commendable activity, soon afterwards arrived there. Some fishermen of Newcastle, on dis covering th esignals of distress, immediately pushed off for the ship ; unfortunately those gallant fellows lost their boat in their exertions, but we trust they will not be un compensated or unrewarded. It is but justice to two in dividuals, namely, PHILLIPS, chief-boatman, and CASES", of the Tyrella Coast Guard, to notice their promptitude and activity on the occasion ; the intrepidity and humanity evinced by CASEY ill particular, merit no ordinary com mendation.—Dablin Evening Mail. SPIRIT OF THE FUBLIC JounNAL4r4rl We have received a letter on the subject of gin-shops, and grieve that we cannot produce to public notice as faithful, vigorous, and moral a composition as ever came into our hands. The .! writer is so illiterate that almost every word in hie letter is mis-spelled ; but he is a close ob server, and a sound thinker, and a credit to his class of the community. There is a deep curse inflicted on this nation by the unhappy coinci dence of " bad beer and cheap gin," winch drives the bulk of the people from the strengthening beverage of their forefathers, now placed by law beyond their reach, to a dreadful stimulus, which may be bought for almost nothing, in quantities which madden and destroy. Even llogarth's immortal contrasts between a beer drinking and a gin-swallowing people are faint representations of those real si ene; which occur from day to day in London, Ind unhappily far beyond it. The family of the labourer, deserted by him coe the vicious mart of low-priced ruin, —the Sunday's faer,—the Monday's incapa city of work,—the broken-hearted wife and fa mished infants,—the gin-shop, at last resorted to by the wretched woman herself as ,a momen tary respite from despair,—and the blazing poi son inoculated upon the palates of children when j a e ne liq m u i i n d cl thesepa rch parched e fo h r o w rr a o n rs t otofofotoetrlriabrlied forawho ielsuonni to dwell upon; yet the Legislature cannot be ignorant that they exist, and are multiplying in every village throughout the land. The crimes which spring from a familiarity with London gin-shops arc not unknown to the magistrates or the police, and will every hour be brought for ward more strikingly to the attention of his Zla jesty's Ministers. We have no doubt that in such a quarter the whole of this vital subject will meet the consideration which it so impe riously demands, and that we shall see, ere the end of another session, what every good man in the country calls for—an extensive reduction of the tax on malt—a removal of the obstructions to the home brewery of beer—and an augmenta tion of two or three hundred per cent. in the duties on home-made apirits.=-Tinrea. Mr. O'Connell, in his letter to the people of the county of Waterford, inserted in the Chronicle of yesterday, asks whether Lord George Beres- , ford " will agree to reform Parliamentary catr ,, ruption—to lesson the load of taxation—!o abolish grand jury jobbing—to repeal the Sub letting Act or the Vestry Bill—to diminish tithes—to extinguish corporation monopoly, and all the grinding oppression of our corporate bodies—to tax absentees—to supply a due pro vision for the destitute poor—to regulate the funds for education so as to extend them to all who want them—to cleanse the Aegean stable of the law—to destroy the insolent and irre sponsible despotism of the code of magisterial laws—to regulate the internal police on con= stitutional principles—to terminate the horrible crime of slavery in the West Indies—to extin guish the monopoly of the East India Company, and to put an end to that odious system of miaa rule by which these supporters of the priests of Juggernaut crush the energies of upwards done hundred millions of human beings ?" Lord George Beresford will certainly not do an, part of this ; he will not even attempt it. If Mr, O'Connell himself should live to a very advanced age, continue in possession of his present enemy, and devote himself exclusively to the task which Lord George Beresford will assuredly decline, he will, we fear, at the end of his career, have still left work enough for his successors; With respect to Ireland itself, the Act of last Session will be of incalculable benefit, as removing the grand obstacle to the entering on any one mea sure of improvement. While Ireland was di vided into two nations, Government were at the mercy of the ruling caste, and no measure durst be attempted, which might have a tendency to provoke the Irish Janissaries. A series of re forms must and will be attempted forthwith by Government. The leading evil of Ireland is the prostration of the great body of the people. There is a want of a middle class, to check the insolence of the higher, and the lawlessness of the lower. The great problem to be resolved, is the mode of obtaining such a class. It is, how ever, a very difficult problem, more especially in a country in which the Aristocracy possess such an overwhelming influence. In the Belfast Northern Whig of Monday last, there is a picture of the tenantry on the estate of the Mar quis of Hertford, for which we have not room to-day, which exhibits in all its force the diffi culty of assisting a people weighed down to the earth like the Irish. The Marquis of Hertford is, indeed, described " as the greatest, we had almost said the worst, of those absentee landlords by whom our poor country is afflicted." " The Hertford family (adds our Belfast contemporary) have always been aliens to Ireland, in birth, con nexions, feelings, and residence. They were among the first to introduce the small English acre in the measurement of land, by which the poor peasantry, who were but little able to cal culate the difference between English and sta tute measure, were deluded with the idea of paying a low rent, whilst in reality they were were paying a high one. The system of sub division, for the purpose of making slaves, under the name of forty shilling freeholders, was carried forward upon the Hertford estates to a greater extent than in any part of ths country with which we are acquainted. It is but a few years since any decent farmer whose lease might soon expire, was compelled either to have his labourers' cottages vacant or to have the alternative of a clan of independent voters' established round him the moment his lease dropped. Acting upon the principle of giving the new tenure always to the occupying tenant, every hovel with a large garden, or two or three acres of ground, became the residence of a freeholder.' This wretched system created endless jealousy between the tenant and his labourers, destroyed the farmer's holding, dif fused general animosity and ill will, and congre gated upon the Hertford estates a population dense in proportion to their extent and quality, beyond what is to be found in any other part of Ireland. By these means, however, a rent of nearly 60,0001. a year was drained away to Eng land from a laborious tenantry, and the county of Antrim was made a close borough in the gift of Lord Hertford." This was the sort of franchise, the loss of which some people, who are led away by words, so feelingly deplored. But it is easier, it seems, to convert forty-shilling freeholders into ten-pound freeholders than to place a people th e remains saddest t ai h n i this s tob prostrateparet told. oo condition lfLo u r A ta leisiia change intle Journalist)ics o influenceil tas situation in which they shall experience any re lfranchise has produ ce d a n c i i s zuige of i tactics pa ramount part o. his Lordship. in the county m us t b e pre . ieft.lt"electiveßut he served—and that too without lessening his in come !

rent.to make ten-pound freeholders, %conld have trenched upon the princely-hospitalities of the Continent, and. the splendid fetes in the Re gent's Park ! A plan was, therefore, devised, the sole and undivided merit of which we are in- dined to attribute to his Lordship ; for we do believe that his respectable agent has neither head nor heart for such an ingenious contrivance. This plan we shall develop, for the admiration _ - _ . _ of the world, and the adoption of all other worthy landlords. It does not merely consist in the consolidation of small farms as they fait out of lease, and turning adrift the poar labourers, formerly converted into z independent electors' (for many blockheads have been able to adopt this benevolent measure), but it possesses a loveliness peculiarly its own !" After de scribing a new mode of valuation, by three Eng lisp viewers in succession, strangers to the cli , mate s marketsplocal taxes, price of labour ) pro duce, &c., and the plus of abatement by which Lis Lordship's agent usually ogers the land at 2s. per acre under the assessment ofthe English viewer, we have the following instructive account of the process ofmaking ten-pound freeholders " When the affair arrives at this point, and the poor peasant is obliged to accede to the prescribed terms, or to be thrown houseless, pennyless, and tradeless upon the world, his real misers , is only lecr b innina. The rent being fixed, the age nt b tells him, that before he gets his lease he must pay a sum of ready money in advance, to ,fine down his land at least one : fourth of the rent. To make this intelligible we shall state a case. A farmer agrees for twenty acres of ground at 245. per acre; the agent orders him to pay im mediately 1001., for which he will be allowed in deduction of rent 6/. 10s. per annum during his lease; or, in other words, his rent will be re- &teed to 17s. 6d. per acre. On complying with this demand, he receives a lease for three lives, or a guarantee that his rent shall not be raised for forty-one years. Now, observe, in the first place, the poor tenant gets only ten Ehil hugs per cent. more than legal interest for his money dully the lease, and at its ex- piration his original hundred pounds is lost ! But even if he get full value for the money ad vanced, where is he to procure it ? Upon the entire estate, we will venture to assert that not one farmer out of every hundred has been able to save the amount of his fine, whilst the great majority are already in debt, or lying under heavy arrears of rent ! It may be alleged that he can borrow money upon his lease, but as yet he has no lease ; and if he had, the Subletting Act' prevents him from borrowing money or sel ling his land, or even letting it, without per miss:on of his landlord ....... And for what objects is all this misery brought upon a people, and the wretched tenants, who can get money to borrow, hurthened with an overwitelmino de'lt which they slidl never be able to discharge ? For what objects ? To heap upon the bursting coffers of a man of enor mous wealth, the scanty savings of industry and frugality, and the sums borrowed front the tenants of other landlords ; to make lands which will not bear the rent assessed upon them, worth at least that to which they are reduced by tak ing a fine ; and finally, to preserve ascendancy in the country, by making ten pound freeholders. By paying 1501. of a fine, though the tenant's ground were originally assessed at a rack rent, he can be a ten pound voter, as he has no power, by mortgaging or otherwise, to encumber his land. A more effectual method of evading the prowl smit of a statute, desolating an estate, and driving a people to madness, could not be de vised by the ingenuity of man ! Were the landed proprietors of Ireland, as a body, to act upon the same principle, we are persuaded that in a few years our wretched island would be one scene of rebellion from Fair Head to Cape Clear. For these things we do not blame Lord Hertford's agent to any considerable ex tent. We believe him to be a humane well dis posed man ; but cf a timid character, and afraid of offending his superior and employer." This irotance will show the difficulty there is in re lieving Ireland. We allow that the Government is not disposed to countenance such proceedings as these ; and, if the Proprietory of England were unconnected with Ireland, would they be disposed to countenance them. But who is the Marquis of Hertford ? A man possessed of great Parliamentary influence in England and Ireland. And other Irish proprietors are either English borough-holders, or closely cooeeeted with them. The slaves in the West Indies may as well be deemed capable of being aided by Government as people in the degraded condition above described. It seems as if in the progress of nations, the people could only be relieved from the oppression of many monsters by one overgrown monster. In all countries where the Aristocracy have never been broken down, the condition of the people seems almost desperate. The first thing that Floury the Seventh of Eng land was anxious about, after breaking down the Aristocracy, was the protection of the yeomanry. But who can protect the yeomanry of Ireland ? —Morning Chronicle. We concluded our notice of the extraordinary article in the Foreign Quarterly Review yes terday, with the special agreement of the three Powers to interfere in the settlement of the affairs of Greece, and the tacit consent of Austria and Prussia not to oppose them in ..the execution of their treaty. The next point to which we shall call the attention of our readers is, the instruc tions given to the English Admiral previous to the battle of Navarin : " The answer which our Admiral subsequently received from home, dated the 16th of October, was in substance the same as the instructions com municated from Constantinople founded on the pro- I tocol of the 4th of September. As this latter do cument has never yet been published, and is of ex treme importance, not only from extending the powers of the allied Admirals to new points, but in fixing provisionally the line of demarcation for . the Greek Commonwealth taken under tl.e allied pro tection, and which was afterwards confirmed at Poros by the same Ambassadors, we shall make no apology for giving an outline of its chief provisions. It is signed by the Ambassadors of Great Britain, France, and Russia, and consists of seven articles. " The first states. that the armistice, being re fused by the Turks, must be enforced by the allied fleets permitting no troops, military stores, or ships of war belonging to the Porte to reach Greece. " 2. The Greeks may be invited to assist the allied squadrons in enforcing the blockade of the ports in which the Turks maintained themselves. " 3. The allied Admirals are to adopt the most rigorous measures for the repression of piL• y. " ' 4. The continental - coasts of Greec.: must be protected from the attacks of the Turks along with the adjacent isles. " 6. In order to. prevent mistakes, the line of coast whichcomesin the range of allied protection is defined to bethe whole of the coast of Continental Greece, and the adjacent islara4s, between the Gulf of Volo on the east, and round to the mouth of the river A s prospotamos on the west, including besides the island of Eubcea or Negropout, Salamis, Egina, Poroa, Hydra, Sped's, and the other neighbouring islands, but excluding Rhodes, Samos, and Candia: " The 7th Article, which is extremely important, as seeming to give a warrant for the battle of Na yarit], or at any mtt a 5 relating to the force there assembled, :s as follows The Admirals shall act with the object of fulfilling the treaty, so as to protect, in case of need, every portion of the Egyptian or Turkish fleets, which shall engage not tr, take any part in the ex isting hostilities ) favouring, according to this prin ciple, the return either to Alexandria or Constanti nople of every ship of war, Egyptian or Turkish, and every transport of either navy having troops on board. As far as the Turkish and Egyptian ships, which behig now in the ports of Navarin and Mo den, shall obstinately resolve to remain there, they must, as well as the !ogresses, run all the chances of war.' " It would appear from the account given in the Foreign Quarterly, that independently of these instructions, which would have warranted a re course to " the chances of war," the Ottoman, formally, and in the presence of the chiefs of his army and fleet, entered into an armistice, which he subsequently broke by endeavouring, on more than one occasion, to transport his troops from one part of the country to another, and that, however " untoward" the battle of Navarin might be, it was justifiable in every point of view : " As Ibrahim had been foiled at sea by the En glish ships alone, his devastation and butcheries on land increased. The allied Admirals, therefore, de cided, after mature deliberation, that they would make him a proposition in the name of the Govern ments to return with his fleet to Egypt, as the only means of saving the inhabitants of the Morea from destruction, and thus executing the object of the treaty. To induce him to adopt this proposition, they deemed it best to enter the Bay of Nayarit) with all their force, and as the Pacha had, when at sea, returned to part rather than venture hostilities against the small English squadron, it was scarcely to be anticipated that he would resist the imposing force of the whole allied fleet, demanding his un molested return to Egypt, for x‘hich be was at one time supposed only to want a convenient pretext, as an excuse to the Sultan. It is needless to men- tion that the result was the celebrated battle of Nayarit), which ended in the complete destruction of the whole Ottoman naval force on the coast of Greece." Our limits will not permit us to follow the writer through all the grievances sustained b 3 Admiral Codrington after the battle of Navarin —the coldness with which he was treated by the successors of Mr. Canning—the obscure, and imperfect, and sometimes contradictory, instruc tions, which he received from the Ministry which followed them—and his final disgrace by being formally recalled ; but we may state as the re sult that the Admiral's only fault appears to have been his too faithful execution of his orders, when he could understand their meaning. With the death of Mr. Canning—a statesman who cannot be too much lamented—fell every hope of arranging the Greek question in a satisfac tory manner, and checking the ambitious designs of Russia. The Autocrat soon discovered that he had statesmen of different mettle to contend with, and instead of acting in concert with his allies, he appears from that moment to have de cided on taking the lead in the affairs of East, and moulding them to his wishes. At the time, or rather a little after the time, of that battle, it would appear, from the following statement, that he might have been restrained in his. disastrous course ; but the timidity and vacillation of the English Ministry soon opened up to him new prospects, or, at all events, forced upon him, to use a milder expression, different plans ; and in a few months he was to be seen in the double character of a mediator and a belligerent : " After the baffle of Nayarit!, the Emperor Ni cholas still continued to make propositions for a concerted armed interference. He proposed, and the proposition was sent on to his Admiral in the Mediterranean, that the Porte should be compelled to come to terms by the united squadrons in the Archipelago, and by a menace of invasion of the principalities of the north. Instructions for Admi ral Heyden were sent from St. Petersburgh on the idea that the allies would follow up the blow given at Navarin, till their object was filially accomplished. This communication was handed over to Admiral Codrington, and by him transmitted to the British Government. " The contemplated hostilities would have re quired only a few more ships to be put in commis sion, and Greek independence would have been de cided in :ix months. Thus, if even it had been necessary to seize on the castles of the Daulanelles, and the fortresses of the Bosphorus, they would have at least been occupied by an allied force in 3tead of being taken pessession of by the Russian army, and would have been evacuated, like France in 1818, without any danger of future invasion.— The Government of England, however, adopted neither side of this alternative—would neither exe cute nor renounce the treaty, ard thus (misled its Ottoman ally, without restraining its northern rival. The Sultan, consequently, emboldened in his obsti nacy by an absurd hope of our support, or of the breaking up of the triple alliance, issued his haul scherif against the treaty of Akerman, and the Russian armies passed the Pruth." We must conclude for the present with the third grand act in the drama of Greek affairs, which is too explicit, and speaks too plainly for itself, to require comment : " The English Government at first objected to this expedition, and numerous were the conferences held, and the protocols drawn up on the subject.— , The Cabinet of the Tuilleries was, however, firm, and persisted in its purpose. At first our Foreign Minister insisted that it was-contrary to the stipu- lations of the Treaty of London to employ force to drive out the Ottomans; and unquestionably the objection was valid, if the baffle of Navarin, which was intended for precisely the same object, was an untoward' breach for that compact. The Noble Lord next alleged that all expedition to the Morea was contrary to the wishes of the President of Greece, and would be looked upon as a violation of his authority. The answer of the President, which was transmitted by the return of the courier, not only expressed his consent to the proposition, but his ardent desire for the speedy arrival of the French troops. The next set of difficulties thrown in the way of the measure related to the limits of the ad vance of the French troops in the country, and the term of their stay. At length, however, the final determination of the French Government to send their expedition, was announced on the 23d of June, 1828, and the British Ministry not only acquiesced, but (declining to take ally part in the land opera tions) offered. its ships of war as transports for car rying out the French troops! After a conference between the Plenipotentiaries of the three Powers in London, on July 19, 1828, at which all the de tails of the measure were finally arranged, the Eng lish Minister requested permission to record an ex planatory declaration, of which we have been fortu nate enough to obtain a copy, which, for the eluci dation of our Ministers' views we here insert. " ' Project of an English declaration, to be added to the Protocol of July 29, 1828. The principles on which the Treaty of the 6th of July was founded were not to make a conquest of Greece, not to de prive the Ottoman Porte of a valuable prqvince, not even to establish the Greeks in a state of qualified independence in relation to the Porte, but to re establish peace on a permanent basis in the Levant —a peace not less required by humanity than by the interest of all the Powers of Europe. The mea sures proposed by the Treaty were—first, those of , friendly remonstrance and persuasion, and next those,of a coercive nature, calculated to prevont collision of the parties to the war, and cvn measures of war are not excluded from those which the three Powers contemplated the necessity of adopting in order to obtain their object. But the three Powers positively engaged to each other, and to the world, that they would not become parties to the hostili ties carrying on in this contest. For these reasons, and because his Britannic Majesty's Government entered into these engagements, with the belief that the Government of the Ottoman Poite were unable to re-establish their authority by force of arms, his 141ajesty's Plenipotentiary has always been instructed to object to measures of actual hostility, unless positively forced upon the Allies in the course of the execution of those operations which have been undertaken to prevent the collision of the belligerent parties. It was, besides, the fact, that the Presi dent, Count Capo d'lstria, objected to the intro duction into the Morea of troops of any of the Eu ropean Powers. " Events have, however, materially altered the situation of affairs. It might have been expected, Ibrahim Pacha occupying only the three forts of Navarin, Coron, and Modon, that twelve sail of the line, and more than the usual proportion of vessels of a smaller size, would have been able to cut off from him all communication with, and supplies from, Egypt and elsewhere; and that the Greeks might have been able to make an effort to prevent him from separating his forces, to reap the harvest of Greece, and applying the means of transport to collect it. That various circumstances have contri buted to disappoint the first of these expectations ; and, in respect to the last, it is quite clear that the Greeks can do nothing to remove Ibrahim Pacha from the country, or to render the tenure of his position in it difficult to him. Count Capo d'lstria also seems now to express his wish to receive the aid of foreign troops. In the mean time, important events are occurring in other quarters; and it is ne cessary that the Allies should be prepared for the probable consequences. " Under these circumstances, his Majesty's Go vernment adopt the measures proposed by his Most Christian Majesty. His Majesty does not feel him self enabled to employ any troops in the Morea, but he is willing, by every means in his power, to pro mote the success of the measures, either by aug menting his naval force in the Mediterranean, should it he thought desirable by the Allies, or use it, as may tend to give leis Most Christian Majesty most facility in the execution of this project ; trusting to his Most Christian Majesty that this measure will be effected in the true principle of the Treaty of the 6th of July, 1827, that the operations which shall be carried on will be limited by the necessities of the case, and that the troops will be withdrawn as soon as Ibrahim shall have evacuated the Morea by land and sea.' "—Morning Advertiser. A letter which Mr. O'Connell has published to " the People of the County of Waterford' contains the following passage ;—" It is singu larly curious to observe the consciousness of baseness which the Beresford faction betrays. They seem to know, as if it were by instinct, that it ought to be deemed a kind of contamina tion for any public man to form a political con nection with them." Now it does not follow, because it would be a base thing in Mr. O'Con nell to form a political connection with the Beresfords, that it would be equally base in all other public men to do so. The peculiar situa tion of Mr. O'Connell placed him in direct hos tility to the Beresfords. He Was the sworn op ponent of their principles—the denouncer of their power. He had over and over again de scribed them as the enemies of his country, the oppressors of the people. He had repeatedly spoken of them as one who had pledged him self, by the most solemn obligations that could bind the acts and conscience of a public man, to eternal hostility to them and theirs. He had professed to entertain towards them, on account of his religion and his country, a holy and im mortal hate. Hence it is clear that he had placed himself in a position with regard to this family which must for ever preclude all political connection with them on his part, except by the sacrifice of all claims to principle and consist ency. The Beresfords had long ruled, by their influence, the county of Waterford. Mr. O'Connell described them as having always exer cised the power which they possessed to the en slavement and degradation of the people over whom they domineered: He gave them credit for all the qualities which are the opposite of public virtues. The Beresfords lost the re presentation of the county by that popular re action which transferred the seat to Mr. Villiers Stuart. The retirement of that gentleman again ,kindled their hopes of regaining their ascendancy. To secure their object, they meanly crouched to Mr. O'Connell for his professional assistance. It does not appear that he met the application by a bold, peremptory, and unequivocal refusal ; on the contrary, it is admitted that a negociation took place between the parties, and that the Learned Agitator and sworn enemy of the Be resfords was offered 300 guineas as a retainer, which he was to pocket in the event of there being no contest, and 600 guineas as a fee in case of a contest, though but of a single hour. What broke off this negociation we do not rightly understand—whether it was the repentance of the principals, or the mismanagement of the ac complices. It was broken off, however, and we believe before the purity of Mr. O'Connell had, like that of Mr. Sheil, suffered from the con tamination of the actual contact of the Beresford gold. The latter, it is said, received the 300 guineas for which his services were put to sale, while the former only received the obloquy be longing to the transaction. His character as a patriotic lawyer was blown upon, and he had not the vulgar consolation of a fee. He now turns upon the Beresfords, as they deserve to be turned upon for their base and miserable truckling to his boisterous supremacy. Had they made a bold and manly stand for those principles on which they always pro fessed to act, if it were unsuccessful, they would have encountered disappointment with out suffering dishonour. ,They chose another course—they threw off the bearing of in tractable pride, and humbly bowed the knee to the man whom they hated, and had long affected to despise. They merit the taunts and the insults _which he now heaps upon them— though the worse character he gives to them the worse case he makes for himself. Mr. O'Con nell is not a man accustomed to draw logical consequences, and he does not see how griev ously he defames himself by representing the Beresfords as destitute of every talent and every virtue that could entitle them to the respect or sup port of any portion of theirfellow-countrymen. We believe the Beresfords, like many other families, whether of patrician or plebeian rank, have their good qualities as well as their faults ; but, if they were as destitute of any trace of honour or under standing as the Learned Agitator describes them to be, why did he, even for a single moment, condescend to enter into a negociation with them for giving them his services at the next election? Did he not always profess to know them as well as he does now ? Why did he not, then, at once spurn their paltry bribe with the indigna tion of an honest patriot, who knew the mark upon the forehead of the tempter, and who had a character as far above being purchased by 900 guineas as by " thirty pieces of silver." The following paragn:graph from the letter in ques tion- is sufficiently condemnatory of the Bores fords, and their " characteristic propensities," as he calls them, but is still more condem natory of Mr. O'Connell :—" Let us, how ever, bear in mind those things that the Beresfords have thus exhibited—those characteristic propensities which render them unfit to be trusted. Trust them not, men of Waterford! They would buy you and sell you, and flatter you, and calumniate you, and cajole, and then oppress you. Off with the Beres fords—shake them off for ever !! !" The Learned Gentleman knew sll this before, ac cording b to his own showina • and the disdain which he here expresses ought to have come hot upon the corrupting offer, and not be so long delayed as to appear but the after-thought of a" vindictive reflection. But then he says it was only his professional assistance that he ever sti pulated to sell. We ask whether, in a political contest, any body can separate Mr. O'Connell the Advocate from Mr. O'Connell the Politi cian ? If he gave his legal services to the " enemies of his country," could he, at the same • time, give his political assistance to their "pa triotic" opponents ? We call the fee a bribe, because it was intended, at all events, to pur chase his silence, and to gag him politically, as he could not fight for the Beresfords at the election in his wig and gown, and then, with any show of decency, throw off the costume of his profession, and fight against them as leader of the people. An Advocate is bound to take every advantage for his client ; and no doubt, had Mr. O'Connell finally accepted the fee of Lord George Beresford, he would have tried to seat him in Parliament right or wrong. All the fine maxims of patriotism and love of country would be ridiculed by the lawyer in the exercise of his purchased zeal and ingenuity ; both the Agitator and the Patriot would be merged in the character of the zealous Advocate, the con sideration for whose labours would not be the " glorious reward" of Fame writing his name in the volume of her great men, but the 900:guineas indorsed upon his brief.—Morning Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A drover, named Edward Gordon, was brought before the LoRD MAyort, by the parish officers of Aldgate, to answer for not having maintained an illegitimate child which was sworn to him by a de cent young woman, who seemed to be impressed with a feeling towards him very different to those of affection. The young woman said she was an orphan, and had nobody to protect her, and that the defendant seduced her by a solemn promise of marriage. In stead, however, of performing his promise, he treated her, she declared with the greatest contempt and brutality, heat her, and abandoned her. The Drover—Please your Lordship, I'm but a poor man, and I can't make no allowance to pay these here gentlemen ; but, howsomever, I'll make it all square by marrying this here young woman. Mr. Hobler—Yes, you will marry her now, or do any thing else to get yourself out of this difficulty. The young woman said that nothing could induce her to become the wife of so cruel a man. She would prefer any thing in the world. The child carried about it marks of his barbarous conduct to her while she was pregnant. The Drover—Please your Lordship, that ere young voman's riot to be believed a vord she says on her oath. She's a good for nothing 'un. She's quite vorthless, please your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR.—And yet you say you are ready to marry her ; you are ready to contract an engagement with her for life, although she is worth less, to get rid of the present inconvenience. The Drover—Vy, my Lord, you see I don't vant to give no trouble to nobody. The LORD MAI - oil—Great praise is due to the poor girl for her resolution and strength of mind in not incurring further misery by marrying such a fel low as you. The parish officers should reward her for her conduct; for although her consent to marry might relieve them from present expence, it cer tainly would entail upon the parish further burdens. Mr. Hobler said, that in the course of his ex perience he rarely met with such an instance of re fusal. Generally, whatever brutality or want of principle was manifested by such fellows, the suf ferers were prevailed upon to marry, possibly in the wild hope of reforming them ; and the parish officers, with as great deficiency of foresight,and care less as to the certain misery and expence incurred, most readily undertook to overcome by force any reluctance in either party. The drover said he couldn't find no sureties, and so he must go and be locked up; and the Lord Mayor ordered that he should be forthwith com mitted. His Lordship then desired that the girl should be supplied with pecuniary assistance, and that the parish officers should take proper care of her. BOW-STREET. Two young men, named Janzes Dzffir and Charles Morris, were yesterday brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, charged with the following most impudent robbery : About nine o'clock on the night of Wednesday, the prisoners were observed skulking about the shop-door of a butcher named Brasgrove, who lives in Rose-street, Covent-garden. A little boy, who wai taking care of the shop, suspecting that the ob ject of the prisoners was to steal some of his mas tel's meat, shut the door: Soon after 'both pri soners came into the shop, and closing the door, the .prisoner Duff seized the little boy, threw him down upon the floor, and to prevent him making an alarm, put his hand upon his mouth, while the prisoner Morris deliberately took down a rump of beef weighing 161 b., that hung up Lin the back part of the shop, and ran away with it, followed by the other prisoner. It further appeared that the fellows, after disposing of the better part of their booty, proceeded with the remainder to a coffee-shop in Bedfordbury, where they produced some steaks cut from the beef which they had stolen, and ordered the landlord to dress them. Before, however, they had time to finish their repast, one of the constables of letter F division took them into custody. The evidence being conclusive, the prisoners were fully committed for Robert Ashdown, the proprietor of the Star coffee-house, in Bow-street, which nearly faces this, office, appeared to answer to an information pre ferred against him by two police constables, for keeping his house open at unseasonable hours of the night, contrary to the Act by which coffee houses are regulated. The house was formerly in the occupation of the notorious Grubb; amid according to the evidence of the police constables, its present proprietor, regardless of the fate of his predecessor, has kept open house for characters of the very worst description, whom he has been in the habit of harbouring and refreshing at all hours of the night. According to the evidence of the constables appeared that on the night of Saturday last, Mr. Thomas, the superintendant, directed them to go to the Star coffee-shop, and report to him what they then witnessed. They went accordingly, at about half-past two o'clock, and saw between 40 and .50 persons who were engaged in drinking and smok ing. One of the constables called for a quarter!' of gin, and was served with it from the bar. Some of the company were eating beef-steaks, and the con stables saw a man and woman tossing for half a pint of gin. Sir R. BIRNIE asked the defendant if he had not said that if he could not do business in a regular wa y, he must do it how he could ? The defendant said, that he had laid out a great deal of monoy on the eiwern, and finding that he could do no business by day, he was obliged to keep open all ni g ht, or his family and himself must starve. He wished to know why other houses around him were not proceeded against for keeping open at im proper hour, , , and harbouring all sorts of persons. The" Magistrate said that all houses of that des cription should be looked after. The defendant was then fined 51. _ . Mrs. Prater, a very dark woman, about thirty six years of age, the widow of the late Mr. P., who resided at Beaconsfield, was charged by the cab driver, No. 28, with refusing to pay him the sum of Bs., the amount of his fare ; and she charged him with committing an outrageous assault upon her person, with intent, &c. The cab-driver said he was hired by the lady about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, at the Angel Inn, St. Clement's, to take her to Lambeth Marsh, where she called upon a friend, and he afterwards conveyed her to her solictor's, who resides near the King's Bench. From thence he took her to various places, and finally he brought her back to the Angel Inn, St. Clement's, when she refused to pay him his fare, and he gave her into the custody of a watch man, who took her to Covent-garden watch-house. Mrs. Prater stated that, in the first place, the charge was exorbitant, and that on that ground she refused to pay it. The cab-driver stated to her, when she got out at the house of her attorney, that his fare was two shillings, and as he was returning back the same way, he would not charge her any thing for taking her back. He waited till she had settled her business, and, when she had got into his cab again, he drove her into an obscure place in a court by the King's Bench prison, and proceeded to take liberties with her. She resisted, and told him that it was very indecent, and that persons would see them, but he persevered, &c. She called out, and he then drove on, and took her to another place, and from thence back to the Angel Inn, St. Clement's, where he requested her to go to some house to sleep. She insisted upon his letting her out of the cab, and he swore that he would not till she had paid him Ss. She knew it was an imposi tion, and refused, when she was given into the cus tody of a police-constable, and taken to the watch house, where she was detained all the night. The cab-driver swore that the time amounted to Bs. Sir R. BIRNIE told the female to pay the cab driver his demand, and she could afterwards prefer her charge agaiest him for attempting to violate her person. She paid the money, and on being sworn, gave evidence of the facts which she had previously stated. The cab-driver, in reply, said that when the lady hired him she treated him with a glass of gin, and she drank one herself. They called at a public house at the foot of Westminster-bridge and took a glass of hot wine each, and he drove her from place to place for four hours, but never attempted to take any liberties with her. She was " elevated" in liquor, and was very free, but that was all. Mr. Prater still persisted that he took indecent liberties with her, and forcibly exposed her person. This took place on the Surrey side of the Thames, and she afterwards rode in the cab to the Strand. She denied having taken wine with the cab-driver, but admitted that she treated him with a glass of gin at starting. Sir R. BIRNIE hardly knew what to make of the case; but as the lady had sworn positively to the assault, he ordered the cab-driver to find bail to answer the charge at the next Sessions. INFAMOUS CONDUCT OF A MOTHER.—Sarah Frazer, and her two daughters, Rebecca, aged seven years, and Jane, aged thirteen years, were charged with stealing a pair of shoes in the shop of Mr. Co llier, of St. Martin's-cool t. It appeared that the old harridan sent her youngest child into the shop of the prosecutor to steal the 'shoes in question, which were hanging upon a nail. The string being twisted, she could not take them off, and left the shop. Her mother supplied her with a knife to cut the string, and she went into the shop again and got possession of the shoes. The shopman saw the child leave the shop the last time, and pursued and took her, and Groom, a street keeper, who saw part of the transaction, followed the mother and the other girl, and secured them. The Magistrates interrogated the girls, and they confessed that for a very long period the mother had taken them out daily to steal any property that lay at all exposed in the shops, and they carried with them a knife and a basket, the one to cut away property, and the other to conceal it.— The elder 01 also made a statement, by which it appeared the old wretch, her mother, had been the cause of her seduction, and that when she could not get money by robbery, she prostituted her person.— There was no evidence against the elder girl to fix her with the robbery,and the Magistrate, after ob serving that a case displaying more depravity and wickedness on the part of a parent never was brought into a Court of Justice, committed the mother and the youngest daughter for trial. HATTON.GARDEN Mr. Wrench, the optician, of Gray's-inn -terrace, who had been bound over at this office, to prosecute a man of the name of Doherty, as receiver of stolen goods, at the last Old Bailey Sessions, but had not appeared upon the trial, in consequence of which the prisoner was discharged and his recognizance was estreated, applied yesterday to Mr. LAING, who had been the committing Magistrate when Doherty was examined, for an order upon Limbrick, the officer, in whose hands the stolen property, consisting of se veral pairs of spectacles, and other articles, valued at about 81., still remained, to deliver it up to him. Mr. LAING told the applicant that his conduct in absenting himself from the trial was very reprehen sible, and had done a serious injury to the cause of public justice. Mr. Wrench replied, that he had not acted inten tionally upon that occasion. He regretted the con sequence, but his absence was unavoidable. Mr. LAING observed, that it would be more de sirable that 50 thieves escaped the avenging rod of justice than one receiver of stolen property, for if the latter did not exist, society would be pestered with very few indeed of the former. He told Mr. Wrench that the Court was the proper tribunal to make the present application to. Mr. Wrench said that he went there to make his application, but the Court was adjourned at the time. Mr. LAING remarked that Doherty had the im pudence to come to this office to claim the property as his own, on the ground of his being acquitted of the charge, and threatened the officer with an action unless the several articles were immediately delivered up to him. Mr. Wrench said he would take the advice of his solicitor upon the subject. The officer stated that Doherty was desired to attend at the office that day at twelve o'clock, but ,although two bows beyond that time had then elapsed, he did not make his appearance. Mr. LAING said he would take time to consider ,of the application, and Mr. Wrench withdrew. DI A RLBORO U UH.STREET. Early yesterday morning information was given of a daring burglary committed the previous night at the house of Mr. Serjeant D'Oyley, in Argyll street. An officer was instantly despatched to in vestigate the matter. The burglars, it appeared, had actually forced an entrance under one of the windows through a brick-wall more than two feet in thickness, and carried off from the pantry a silver cruet-stand, a silver candlestick, and three suits of livery, besides the very articles of dress which the Learned Sergeant had worn the day before. The robbery was not discovered till the servants cane down in the morning. A respectable looking young man, named William Belcher, was charged with receiving a quantity of silk, knowing it to be stolen. The silk was offered for sale to a tailor in the neighbouhood of Regent street by a Jew named Jonas, who said that he re ceived it from another Jew named Josephs. Josephs acknowledged that he received it from the prisoner, who keeps a sort of general clothes sale-shop in Port land-town, and who, on being questioned, could give no satisfactory account respecting his_ possession of it. The prisoner was committed for trial. During the time the officers were at Belcher's shop, a ) I ° 4 man, a relation of the prisoner's, came in and three' several pieces of silk, to the value of about 1 04 on the counter. These were said to have bee n , sent up by a manufacturer in the country,. v r` l " silks were brought to the office, where they.stillrr main, and the prisoner is to be again examined ri,‘ specting them on another day. LAMBETH-STREET. As usual, yesterday there were a number of 'P' plicants for relief from the parish of Bow. Anineg them were an old Irishman and woman, man o' wife, who begged of the Magistrate, Mr. Waggle' to grant them some relief. Upon being asked I Mr. WALKED. how many children they had, and th e age of their eldest, the woman said that their oldeitt child was seven, but they had another ten, and the middle child was thirteen.—(This answer set tha office in a roar of laughter, in which the Magistrate° joined.) The unpaid, green-coated, kerseymere-gait ered d advocate of the poor of Bow (Payne) then step P ly forward, and said, " He hop'd he did'nt intrude, but corning to town, " just dropp'd in" to see he his clients (the paupers) got on. He said th e woman was a hard-working woman, but rather too great a votary of Bacchus. Her application for relief was consequently die" missed. An unfortunate (self-termed) shaver was the next. He said he was obliged to live in a Kart and nobody came to have their heads shorn, and b 0 had only earned twopence this week. This man, it appeared, was also fond of licrote and Mr. WALKER told him he should be very care' ful, or he might some day cut some person's throat.' The poor barber was very deaf, and he innoceatlf His application was dismissed, in made reply, " No, your Worship, I am not ad dicted to it." its appearing that he was, as above stated, rather too fond of drink. • eonsecwence of UNION.HALL. Yesterday a strong able-bodied young fellow, named William Hemming:, was brought before Mr. SwsnEv, charged with having violently assaulted til° of the beadles of Lambeth parish, for having refused his application for relief. One of the overseers of Lambeth at tended, 100 described the conduct of the defe ndant on the oe• casion as of the most outrageous description. Duri n g the time the defendant was at t he workhouse, a nonv.. ber of idle young fellows like himself kept shoutieg and exciting him to resist , and str ike those 01° wanted to expel him from the place. Mr. SwABEY fined the defendant for the sass ull on the beadles, which being unable to pay, he W Bl committed for two months to Kingston gaol. e. A smart young man, named Land, one of th ° , 6 fellows who are adepts at a game calle d " the thr ble rig," by which many persons are rob bed of their(' money, was brought up in custody for cheating }ad of his money in the Kent-road. It was p roved d that; he was an old practitioner. He was committe two months to gaol, under the Vagrant Act. A A man named Sims summoned the stewards of 9 benefit society for excluding him from the beneot, thereof. Ile stated that he had recently declareu .I t: on the box owing to indisposition, but h th e a t se nagers had scratched his name, and withhel" sistance that he was entitled to.

The complainant admitted that he had fough t man ; but his antagonist had given him great Pill' vocation before he struck him. The Magistrate said that the rules had been brO E _A ° : by the complainant : he therefore was not entitle' to the benefit he claimed. e^ ' . , t WINT . ,UR ASSIZES.

T HE prevailing opinion ofthe impurity oldie Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous Testimonials of the moot Eminent of the Metropolitan Faculty, that any comment in this place would appear like questioning the national common sense. We will therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by Dr. JAMES JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa mninatio❑ in the House of Commons. Dr. Jat.txs Josn the author of the " Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses. And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor, "at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the Caine tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of 'Westmin ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca!, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we out selves feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Kane lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED FLOATING TILTII FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposetl state, actually passes into our cisterns:" This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and ensures an effectual preventive against the possibility of employing any other Water than that which has passed the Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra • tion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro prietor does notstate the precise number of Gallons capable of being produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so fast as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified state.—lts moderate Price, (from 'Three Guineas upwards, but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions of Cisterns) by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers, confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water. To accommodate Private Families who desire to have Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are to be had of all dimensions at the Office in the Strand, and are forwarded to all parts of England. PORTAIILE FILTERS IN EARTHEN WA RE. 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day........ 235. 3 Ditto ditto 16 Ditto 3os. 6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 42.. t) Ditto 65 Ditto. sss. 12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7ss. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and purify as much Water in the course of the day as the largest consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. Thee: can be stilt to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, Ne. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed.

" We speak within the most cautious bounds, when we say, that in any volume of this work the traveller will find more of the actual material of which he stands in need— the real, distinct, matter-of.fact information—than in any ten voyages and travels' to the same region. Of the minuteness of this history, India, the best judgment may be formed from its extent. In the usual manner of print ing, it would fill three large octavo volumes. The con tent, of the four volumes exhibit a singular industry in the collection, and condensation in the quantity of valuable triatter.”—Literary Gazette, Dec. 6, 1823.

GRIMES and LLOYD, RESPECT ABLE and FIRST-RATE WOOLLEN-DRAPERS. The residence is delightfully situate, as well for a resi dence as any occupation requiring unusual publicity and gentility. It would be impossible to select any business that must not necessarily be improved by this extraordinary thoroughfare, and the knowledge that the KING'S COL LEGE and SOMERSET HOUSE form the boundaries on each side, must, as snatter of course, add to the value, and if the former should require additional space, this pro perty will partake largely of the advantage. In either case, the situation stands pre-eminent, either for the pre sent, or any genteel vocation, and held for a period of seventeen years at the original low rent. In the following week will be SOLD by AUCTION (unless the purchaser of the House prefers to take it at a fair valuation) the extensive and well assorted STOCK of WOOLLEN DRAPERY, including that of every' de partment, and of the best description and latest fashion.

The principal rooms are of excellent proportions, partaking in an eminent degree of the beautiful disposition of the surrounding domain, which is laid out in unusually good taste; the best commentary will probably be found in the simple fact, that Mr. Repton's powerful aid contributed to produce this desired effect.

LADY ROBERT MANNERS. Freehold Country Residence, at Sutton, in Surrey, a little removed from the high Brighton road ; a moat corn- Mrtable abode, in the midst of its greatly admired and extensive grounds and five rich paddocks, and in the centre of field sports of every description. .14R. GEORGE ROBINS has the satis faction of announcing, that he will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on TminsnAY, June I I, at Twelve o'clock, by direction of the Executers, and peremptorily, an excellent FAMILY RESIDENCE, Freehold of Inheritance, and for nearly 20 years the FAVOUR= 'RETREAT OF LADY ROBERT MANNERS, deceased. It is desirably situate in the cheerful VILLAGE OF SUTTON, a little removed from the high road to Brighton. It has keen long known and admired as the Manor House. Its external appearance is uniform, and the interior possesses more of family comfort than any of the modern residences will pretend to. The bed rooms are numerous and very airy; the drawing rooms and dining parlours of excellent proportions, each possessing a separate and varied view of the grounds; and the secondary offices and domestic ar rangement include every thing the most fastidious could suggest. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS, EXTENDED LAWNS, AND SHRUBBERY WALKS, have uniformly been the subject of the highest commen dation. They are clothed with an immense variety of American and other rare plants, including the evergreen oak, Portugal laurel, and cedar of Lebanon, feathering to the ground, and render ing it green and beautiful during the unpropitious months of winter, besides a fish pond and fountain in the centre. The dispositio❑ of these grounds is in accordance with the best taste, even Repton @Ovid not have surpassed them. The kitchen gardens are unusual;• extensive and productive, and there is a NOBLE RANGE OF CONSERVATORIES and hot houses, with a melon ground for 37 lights, forced by steam. There is a court yard, which incloses coach houses, stabling for six horses, laundry, brew-house, and indeed every office essential to family comfort, together with FIVE PADDOCKS OF CHOICE MEADOW LAND, forming altogether one of the most comfortable retreats within the same distance of this great Metropolis.

NEARLY TWO HUNDRED THOU SAND POUNDS . MAY, IF REQUIRED, REMAIN ON MORTGAGES MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs very re spectfully to announce to the Public, but mot / especially the great Capitalistg, that lee is directed to SECT, by AUCTION, at the Mart, in Loudon, on Ttionsr,,,y, the 25th of June, at Twelve o'clock, IN ONE LOT, a singularly Eligible and highly important. FREEFIOLD PROPERTY, THE CROWLAND ESTATE, very long distinguished for the superior character or ifte soil, and its extraordinary compactness. Lincolnshire has always been proverbial for the rare quality of the Land t and this Estate has, trom time immemorial, been ranked as foremost in public favour. It will far exceed the limit of an Advertisement to give, in detail, the immense advan tages connected with this invaluable property, but it is apprehended a brief outline will be quite ample, with a view to enlist the prompt and serious attention of the Monied Interest to an investment which, unquestionably, does not yield in its importance .to any that has ever been submitted to public competition in England. The leading features may be summed up in the following concise com mentary:— THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD, AND INCLUDES FORTY-THREE FARMS, CONTAINING SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES - OF RICH LAND, FREE FROM TITHES, and it is probable. that for compactness and the quality of the soil it stands proudly alone, without fear of competi tion. The Farm Houses are generally of the best de scription. THE PRESENT RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEEDS TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and it is known that, during adverse times, when mode rate land was necessarily diminished in value, the supe riority of this soil was a sure guarantee of a comparatively small diminution in the rent roll. ---- H - WSE CROWLAND MANO R is not of a pretending character, but may Zer7 easily be rendered the comfortable abode of a family. THE MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENSIVE. THE TOWN OF CROWLAND IS ALL TRIBUTARY TO THIS MANOR. Tie FINES and QUIT RENTS are CONSIDEITABLE, There is also pertaining to this property THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND. A valuable right of Fishing, and an abundance of Game. The tenantry are highly respectable, and the con tiguity of the property to Peterborough, Stamford, Gran tham, Spalding, and other capital markets, afford at all times a secure and ready vent for the abundant produce of THIS HIGHLY FAVOURED ESTATE. _ . It is, therefore, submitted by Mr. Robins with great confi dence to the attention of those who agree with him in be lieving that Land is the best and safest investment for ca pital at all times, and new that the funded property af fords such a moderate return, with the probability of an unfavourable reaction, it is placed beyond doubt that the opportunity thus presented is by far the most en couraging that has ever been offered to public attention ; there is a regular Market at Cropland, and an Annual Fair, which contribute to increase the Rental. IC 161! be almost superfluous to remark, that the possession such an immense and ♦aluable territory must ba very in fluential with a view to THE REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY. Descriptive particulars are preparing, and will he ready for distribution ,six weeks antecedent to the Si''., with Lithographic Maps to each, at the principal Inns at Crowland, Peterborough, Stamford, Spalding, Grantham, and Wisbeach ; also in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham ; and may b• had of Mr. Barwis, Soli citor, Crowland; Mr. Ronnar, Solicitor, Spalding ; Messrs.

GEORGE ROBINS is gratified itt being instrncted to announce that he will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart in London, on TrwrtsnAr, the 25th of June, at Twelve o'clock, and in TWO LOTS, A SINGULARLY FINE FREEHOLD INVEST MENT FOR CAPITAL, combining such an Infinity of advantages as are rarely con gregated in one Property, and it therefore necessarily fol lows that the limit of an announcement must be confined to a brief summary of the leading features, which it is cons - believed will be more than sufficient to awaken the early attention of large Capitalists to an Investment which, for its importance and local advantages, has seldom (if ever) been offered to public competition ; it comprehends THE DEBDEN HALL ESTATE, WITH A PARK AND DOMAIN OF 3,850 ACRES. The Residence puts forth very strong claims to public attention, in as much as, without being of a very pretend ing character, it combines in its exterirt Chaste and Elegant Design, while its istsror 3dation pre sents a plentiful supply of ever , tk . scat is essential to the comfortable abode of a Family of high standing and respectability. The Grounds that environ this delightful retreat are formed in accordance with the hest taste. The Plantation-walks and Shrubberies luxuriantly disposed, are adorned by an infinity of the most choice American Plants and Evergreens, while the Flowering Shrubs are dispersing their sweet perfume in every direction. The Kitchen Gardens, encompassed by lofty walls, are clothed with the choicest Trees, in au highly luxuriant state. THE FINELY TIMBERED PARK hal drawn largely on the bounty of nature, in as touch as the scene, however beautiful, must be somewhat imperfect without the ORNAMENTAL WATERS, which complete the coup (nail of this delectable retreat. Connected with it arc THE MANORS, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES, extending over a large and fertile tract of highly enitivated Land. THE ESTATE INCLUDES EIGHTEEN MOST CAPITAL FARMS, The whole of which are Freehold (save only about 10. Acres) which are Copyhold, and in the occupation of a most respectable Tenantry, at Reduced Rents, capable 01 much improvement. There is besides, THE ADVOWSON AND NEXT PRESENTATION TO THE RECTORY OF DEBDEN, with a superior Residence and Glebe connected therewith The property is situate within Four miles of Saffron Wahies. and Bishop's Stortford, and sertainly in the most esteemed part of the County ; LORD BRAYBROOKE'S ADMIRED MANSION AND ESTATE Almost approximates upon it, the neighbourhood is re markable for the superiority of its occupants, and to a sporting man it abounds with advantages that are rarely to be met with ; this in is a hint ()saline of an investment that possesses so many other advantages, and of a charac ter so unequivocal, that Mr. Robins feels great pleasure in recommending it in an especial manner to the attention of great Capitalists.

IMPERIA.L PARLIA3ItIit. 'HOUSE OF LORDS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Sir A. GRANT rt'ad others from the Commons brought up the Offences against the Person (Ireland) Bill, and the Metropolis Police Bill, which were read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in behalf of a Noble Friend, gave notice that he would or. Monday next move the •seeond reading of the Metropolis Police Dill.—The Bill was ordered to be printed. ANATOMY. The Earl of MALMESßUßY 'presenteda petition from an individual in Northampton, against the Bill for regulating Dissection ) and particularly against that clause of the Bill which provided that the bodies of all persons dying in workhouses might be liven for dissection, if they were not chimed. The Noble Earl stated, that he was sorry that the Bill was brought up this year; and if it were not amended, he should find it necessary to oppoe it. He objected particularly to the clause he had already referred to, and to that clause authorising the keepers rof prisons to dispose of the bodies of debtors who die in gaols, unless they are claimed by their friends. lie hoped the Bill would yet be postponed ; and if some measure not containing the objectionable clauses he had mentioned should hereafter be brought forward, it should have the support of leA Vote. Several Private Bills were fomr.rded one stage. The Exchequer Bills' and the Na!ional Debi Bill, went through a Oattnittee, and were reporter' without Zinend:rents.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-..(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. BURRELL presented a petition from the 2ork ma3ters and v%-001 growers of certain Hun bireds in Sussex, praying for protection cn British wool, :Mr. PORTMAN regretted that the Chancellor et the Exchequer or the President of the Board of Trade was not present, in order to state what was ere intention of the Government with regard to this subject. He did ►►ot a►.ticipate that there would be any duty imposed on foreign wool; but as there were some people who vet expected such a measure, it would be as well fur all parties, but especially for the wool-growers, to let them know at once that all attempts to impose a duty on foreign Nrim)l would be resisted by the Government. Mr. HERRIES was sorry that his colleagues Isere not at that moment in the lioNse, but he felt himself authorised to say that he believed the lion. _ . Member had, taken a very correct vier of the sul ject when *e suggested that he had understood that the C'rvernment were indisposed to adopt any 7:ew ineasu - fe on this subject ; and that intention ltein;f l ( l '.ipted, it certainly was proper that it should he frtnown. Lord MILTON was gratified at hearinn. this statement of the intention from the Rigit lion. Gentleman, but he should have been better satisfied with the answer if it had been more decisively given. He hoped the President of the Board of Trade would distinctly state that, under no circumstances, would any alteration be made. Sir J. SHELLEY presented petitions from two places in Sussex, on the same subject. Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce, in - the city of Dublin, on the subject of the opening the Trade to the East Indies and China. Mr. W. PEEL presented a petition from the Emigration Society of Glasgow, praying for a Grant of Land in Canada for thirty families. The LORD ADVOCATE brought up the Re port on the Scotch Gaol Enlargement Bill, and übs‘",...ed that in consequence of the opposition made this Bill, ha should withdraw it for this Session; but he pledged himself to bring it forward next Ses sion, with those alterations which a further conside rittion might suggest. It was absolutely necessary to have better gaols than at preset.t existed, with a view not only to the accommodation of the pd sorters, but to their correction also. Mr. MAXWELL had great objections to this Bill, anti he knew that great objections existed to it in Scotland. He 0-listed that some measure would, next Session, be introduced respect;ng the Law of Arrest for Small Debts. Mr. C. FERGUS-4)N also of to the Bill. Mr: 1-lUME said that the Burgh= he represented objected to some parts of the Bill, but concurred with its object. They feared that they should be coilled on to maintain both their own and the county gaol, and this they did not like. Mr. KENNEDY's objection to the Bill was that it-did not go far enough. The Bill certainly Iva* necessary, although perhaps its object might be better obtained by some amendments. Mr. R. GRANT approved of the course which fie Hon, and Learned Gentleman had pursued hi withdrawing the bill, and hoped that some effectual tmeasotre would be brought forward next session, not on the responsibility of any individual Minister, but that it would receive the support of the whole of Ili.; Majesty's Government. Mr. PELL thought it was a capital blot on Scot land not to have gaols lit for the accommodation or the due correction of the prisoners convicted in her Courts. The Royal Burghs were formerly liable to the maintenance of .the gaols; but the country had now outgrown that old custom, and it became neees• sarv, by compulsory measures, to determine the Ileums and liabilities of the respective counties. He trusted, that when the question shoukt be brought on next Session, the Scotch Members would con sider the Bil! on general principles, and not on the particular circumstances of the burghs or the coun ties they might represent, and would adopt a mea sure tvhich experience proved to be necessary. - The Load Revenue Bill, the Charing-cross Im provements' Bill, and the Customs Duties' Bill, were all appointed for to-morrow. SUB-LETTING ACT. . Mr. S. RICE presented petitions against the Sub letting Act, from Butlers town, and several other places in Ireland. COURTS OF MADRAS. Mr. S. RICE brought in a Bill fur the Relief of Suitors in the Courts of Madras, and relating to the property of persons dying intestate. Sir J. MACKINTOSH wished to know en what slay it would be convenient to take the only dis elusion this Bill was likely to receive this Session . Mr. PEEL named Monday. The Bill was then read a first time, and the second reading fixed for Alonday. PORTUGAL. -Mr. PEEL requested the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite (Sir . J. Mackintosh) to postpone his motion, which stood for to-morrow, until a future day. He apprehended that it might be fixed for Monday or Tuesday without inconvenience. Sir J. MACKINTOSH replied that loth as he was to defer again a matter already so often post poned, yet ho was aware that there might be rea sons which would render it improper for him to re sist the application of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He wished that the discussion should take place on Monday, as on Tuesday it would be rather incon venient for him to attend. Mr. PEEL remarked that Monday was an Order Tiny, and that there were many Bills which must be forwarded in their stages ; he believed, however, that the business might all be disposed of before eight o'clock, and then the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman might be brought on. "SirJ.MACKINTOSH added that he should con sent to take Monday, if his motion were nut post poned later than seven o'clock. This suggestion was assented to by Mr. PEEL, and the motion was entered accordingly. SCOTCH TAILZIES. Mr. C. GRANT presented a petition from Inver- TIM, in favour of the alteration in the Scotch law of Entail. Also a petition from a place in Ross-shire, for continuing the bounty on herrings. Mr. W. SMITH protested against a needless ad herence to the system of bounty. Sir T. DUNCOMBE presented a peti 'on frcm ilertford, for the Repeal of the Corn Laws. SCOTCH GAOLS. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Cot poration of Brechin, against the Scotch Gaols' Bill. The Hon. Member said that he was not disposed to resist the modified measure of the Lord Advocafe: Mr. P. GRANT presented petition with the same prayer from the Burgh 'of Forres: PIZINTEb CALICO. Mr. HUME miovedi diet tie e be laid before the Rouse en Account of the Total Amount of Printed. Calico unmufactured in England in the yeass 1826, 1827, and 1828; of the duty paid upon it ; of the Number of Yards e:tnorted; of the Net Amoi.int cf nuiy paid into the Exchequer; and of the Charges of Collection of that Duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to the producticn of the documents, and recommended that all argument en the sub ject should lre postponed until the information were before the Housc, Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN wished that the official value of the printed calico should be added to the accounts. He objected to nibbling at parti cular taxes, and wished the whole taxation of the country to be examined and reduced. He trusted that ltis Majesty's Ministers would, (hiring the inter val between this and t! :t. next Session, apply them eives to thr: consideration of the distreised state of tte country, and come prepared with some plate of relief. The motion was agreed to. CONDUCT OF MR. N.l 11. Colonel DAVP3S said, that as he felt that he perferreed a disagreeable duty on a recent occa sion, when he went at some length into the charges which he had brought against Mr. Nash, he would that evening confine himself simply to. move, " That a. Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Nast, so far as regarded the granting of leases, or the sale of Crown Lands in Suffolk -street, Pall Mail East, in Regent-street, and adjoining the Regent's Canal." Mr. HUME suggested, that the Committee shouldgo into the whole subject. An extensive inquiry was desirable, especially into the arrange ments respecting the site of Carbon House. Sir M. W. RIDLEY was glad that a Committee was to he appointed ; and he trusted there would be the closest and strictest investigation. At the same time, be must say, that his Hon. Friend (Col. Davies) had lent the sanction of his name to reports against Mr. Nash, without previous inquiry into them. (Hear.) —Ile believed, for his own part, there was not the slightest foundation for any suspicion of fraud or collusion between Mr. Nash and the gentle man to whom allusion had been made. He would have _re .t pleasure in seeing justice done to that gentleman's character, and also the character of the individual which had been thrown under an imputa tion the most unjust and the most undeserved. — lie (Sir M. W. Ridley) bad a petition in hie pos session from Mr. Nash, preying that there might be a fall investigation of his conduct ; but as he knew it was not right or in unison with the rules of the House that it should be presented, he felt it his duty to state, that it was Mr. Nee wish that the charge; against him should be investigated tho roughly, and in every article as to which charges were brought against him. He (Sir M. W. Ridiev) saw no reason why the power cf the Committee should not go to a gt eater extent, and he would make a motion that it should not be limited to certain ar ticles merely, if it were not that the period of the Session were not so short that now there was not time sufficient to hear evidence, anel make a Report that would clear Mr. Nash's character in the eyes of the public. Ile should, therefore, sup port the motion of his Hon. Friend, which confined the inquiry to certain charges. Mr. JONES begged the House to remember that there was another individual connected with this transaction ; and be would state that, in his opi nion, Mr. Edwards had a right also to have his con duct investigated. Mr. Edwards had once had the honour of a seat in that House as the representative of a county—one of the wealthiest in minerals, Gla. morganshire ; and as there had been in that House an attack on his character, which had gone forth through the public press, and covered him with a great deal of obloquy, he thought Mr. Edwards should have an opportunity of setting himself right. The Hon. Member for Worcester must regret that he had not referred to Mr. Edwards before he made the attack upon him the other night; for if the Hon. Member had given that gentleman notice, the reply would have been stated at the same time that the charge was made, and both would have gone before the public together. As it was, the charge was made, comments upon it published, and as yet there was no opportunity for the individual attacked to be heard. He could not account for the Hon. Member's conduct by supposing it to have arisen through in advertence. His own friends had admitted that no tice should have been given ; and the Hon. Member for Preston (Mr. J. Wood) had stated his belief that notice had been given ehen he seconded the motion of the Hon. .Member for Worcester. As far as re garded his friend, Mr. Edwards, he would ask that Hon. Gent. in what sense be intended the phrase of " man of straw," as applied to him, to be under stood ? Was it only with reference to that trtmnsac thin, meaning that Mr. Edwards was not a bona fide holder of the lease ? or did he explain it in the sense cf his individual capacity ? Colonel DAVIES said, across the table, certainly not ; I spoke only with refers nee to the transaction. Mr. JONES continued—The Hon. Gentleman had denied that he applied that phrase to Mr. Edwards in 11;e individual capacity, and he must suppose that the Hon. Gentleman did not mean it so. But the lion. Gentleman should recollect that the words had gone forth to the public, who would understand that they meant that that Gentleman was not a man of substance. The Hon. Gentle man had said, that he brought forward his charge on authority not to be doubted ; but he added, that be would not reveal the name of the party. Then it was the duty of the Hon. Gentleman to see the more closely into it, and to sift it to the bottom. Ile should have seen both Mr. Nash and Mr. Edwards, and if he found that the person from wham lie received his information would not give his name, the more caution was necessary in bring ing forward the charges. He (Mr. Jones) rejoiced that the Committee was appointed to investigate the conduct of both these Gentlemen. He could tell the Hon. Member for Wotcester, that he him self, as well as the Hot). Member for Newcastle, knees something - or the 'tranSaCtion, and that Mr. Nash's character stood fully as high as that of the Hon. Member for Worcester himself, and Mr. Edwards's also. Ile would not have brought the charges furs: and in the absence of that Hon. Gentle man, or without giving him due notice and ample opportunity to defend himself.—(hear.) Mr. Secretary PEEL felt himself bound to sug gest, that as his Right Hon. Friend had not offered any objection to the motion whether it was expe dient, by continuing the debate, to run the risk or appearance of prejudging the inquiry. This was due to Mr. Nash-s--that it should be borne in mind that he had pursued the only course which a person con scious of his innocence and integrity could follow ; he had challenged the fullest inquiry into his conduct. 1 Whatever might be the fate of the Committee, if the lateness of the Session should not enable them to make such an inquiry us would be satisfactory to time vindication of his character, Mr. Nash would still be in the situation of a man of clear integrity, because he had taken the part which a man of pure and honourable motives would have pursued. If the close of the Session should prevent the inquiry from being completed, let it be remembered that Mr. Nash was entitled to the good opinion of the House from the course he had taken. The only objection Mr. Nash felt was that the inquiry would not be full enough ; he wished to have an inquiry into every ' transaction in which he had been concerned. Under these circumstances he would not say one word to prejudge the inquiry; but it %vas only right to say, that' Mr. Nash was entitled to the full presumption of being innocent. Mr. HUSKISSON had only one word to say with reference to what had fallen from the Hon. (;eetleman who had spoken last but one. The Hon. Member for Worcester had observed on a former night that he had his information on undoubted htitherity, but that he was not at liberty to name his informant. If the ComMittee were granted, all. he (Mr. Huskisson) ihotild Pray Was, that the infOr: at• *ell as the party, might be brought both fairly before the House, and that there would be no attempt to evade the detection of the informant by the charm .bf secrecy, while the other party was dragged before the COmMittee to bceiainined. .He would tell ,the Hon. Membir fpr Woretater, that when the Committee was named, that anonyinous informant should appear.—(Hear.) Sir CHARLES BURRELL approved of the in quiry through the medium of a Committee. He hoped, too, that the inquiry would be carried into all those points to which allusion had been made in the debates on this subject. He world not narrow it to the fell' points stated in the motion. They-ought to inquire generally whether Mr. Nash was to blame or not: This was thtir duty in a transaction like this, at a time when there %vas such a pressure et dis: , tress on all classes Of the people. It was right that a Palace should be built, fitted for the King to re side in, and not one of scandalous taste ; but it was equally incumbent on the House of Commons to see that economy was practised in all departments of the public expenditure. When be said " scandalous taste," he meant to apply it to the new Palace at Pimlico ? which was Cull of the greatest mistakes and blunders that any architect had ever committed. Did not every body who saw it exclaim, " God bless me, how ugly it looks :—(Laughter.)—He did think the power of inquiry should extend to the per centa , e. (Hear.) —Mr. Nash had admitted that he made the great blunder as to the de gee by his own omission. (Cries of no, no.) —Mr. Nash said—" I was quite surprised to see it look so cteeedingly ill." — (Cheers.) —So that Mr. Nash made an error, as he himself admitted ; and he (Sir C. Burrell) contended that Mr. Nash ought not to benefit by his own er rors. That he considered was only asking for an act of justice to the public ; and he hoped, in appointing the Committee, that their powers would not be so limited as to render them useless. They ought to satisfy themselves that Mr. Nash was paid not only justly, hut that his works were executed with good sense and propriety.—( Hear.) Mr. WARBURTON did not think the public services of Mr. Nash could form a proper ground- of inquiry for this Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER understood that the object of the Hon. Member for Worcester wan a Committee to inquire into certain mal-practices with which Mr. Nash was charged, in having grossly violated his duty, and acted most improperly, if not corruptly. If this were a question of taste, the lion. Baronet (Sir C. Burrell) might be right in referring the questions he proposed to it; but this was to be a Committee to inquire into his character ; and he was sure the Hon. Baronet did not wish to see the character of Mr. Nash affected by the prejudices prevailing against his architectural Ailit y . He would state that Mr. Nash had waited upon hint since he had known that this inquiry was to be proposed there, and he hail expressed his wish that the inquiry should be as full as it possibly could be. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had asked him whether be would appoint any indivi dual as a Member of the Committee, who was likely to elucidate the case ? Mr. Nash replied , that he did not care who composed the Committee; that he would suggest no individual, and that he was quite ready to trust his character to any Committee of that House. Mr. CHARLES BURRELL remarked that he had only suggested the extension of the inquiry ; he should not press it. Mr. MABERLY asked whether the House could allow Mr. Nash to be a party concerned in the expenditure, and yet to give his advice as to the amount. That was a question much more import ant to the country than any relating to his charac ter. He was glad to find that the Government did not attempt to defend Mr. Nash in taking leases for himself—a principle so wrong, that it seemed to be abandoned as utterly indefensible. Colonel DAVIES said, that after what had taken place he felt it necessary to satisfy his Hon. Friend (the Member far Newcastle) who had addressed ob servations somewhat crimieatory to himself. He assured his Hon. Friend that he had not made these charges against Mr. Nash without endeavouring to obtain the most accurate information respecting them ; and, he believed, that the individual from whom he had it was as respectable as any Member of that House. He was moving in the sphere of gentlemen; he was well informed, and a man of education, Ile (Colonel Davies) knew that he must have bad communication with all the parties connected with this transaction. As to not giving Mr. Nash any opportunity of meeting the charges, he declared he was incapable of treating Mr. Nash so unjustly. He had told the Noble Lord (Low ther) at the head of the department of Woods and Forests, that he had some serious charges'to prefer against Mr. Nash. It was not true, therefore, that he had not given notice. With respect to what the Honourable Member for Carmarthen (Mr. Jones) had said concerning Mr. Edwards, he begged to say he had brought no accusation whatever against that Gentleman. His accusation was, that Mr. Nash had given in a request, in the 'tame of Mr. Edwards, but in his °all hand-writing, and with the name mis-spelt, and that he re presented Mr. Edwards as a man of straw in this instance, though he was really a man of aubstance, because Mr. Nash had stated to the Board of Woods and Forests that Mr. Edwards had not ca pital to erect suitable buildings on the spot. That was the plea of Mr. Nash, by which be obtained the grant in his own name, He could assure the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Iluskisson) that be had not the slightest intention to take any part against him. It was easy fur the Right lion. Gentleman to say, " Name your informant ;" but if he did so he should hold himself guilty of a gross breach of trust. If the facts were established, what did it matter what was the name of his informant ? If he was the most des reputable of mankind, the evidence would be just as good. If, indeed, he thought his informant actuated by any base or malicious motive to blacken Mr. Nash's character, that should not shield him. I would, continued the Honourable Gentleman, hold him up to the scorn of every honourable man ; but as lone' as I believe his motives to be honest, I feel bound to believe his statements, supported as they are. Even if it should turn out that she is mistakert, I should feel bound, as a man of honour, to conceal his name, in order to protect him against the conse quences he would otherwise incur. It - is a matter of notoriety, that when Members of this House bring forward motions cf importance, they often re ceive a great 11111S4 of evidence from individuals who • do not wish, or will not allow, their names to be used. This informant of mine might be some indi vidual whom Mr. Nash might have it in his power to ruin. It is not so, lam happy to say, but the principle is the same. I shall be truly rejoiced to find, that at the end of this inquiry, Mr. Nash's character remains unitnpeaehed. I feel this to be a most painful duty, which I have thought it necessary to undertake ; it is a most invidious and most thank less charge; and it is directed against a very influ ential person, for so I acknowledge he is; and I know that 1 am sure at least of makin g one enem y , if not a great many, by prosecuting this inquiry. No personal motive can actuate me; I um actuated only by the sense of duty I owe to my country, and with the view of putting an end to a system of waste and extravagance which ought riot to be en dured in the present state of the country. Mr. HUSKISSON— I only rise to remind the Hon. Gent. that he has told us that his informant is a man of the highest possible respectability.—(Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. Colonel DAVIES then moved a list of names to constitute the Committee. Mr. HUSKISSO:S and Mr. F. LEWIS begged to be excused from serving on it ; the former as being a party implicated, and the latter an intimate friend of Mr. Nash. Ihe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER advised his Right Hon. Friends not to withdraw, ae he was quite satisfied that the result of the inquiry would be the same in . the public mind if they both remained. The twießight Hon. Gentlethen having yleidel, the list of the Camittee was agreed to. JUSTICE; OF THE PEACE, BILL. On the motion of the cliAtctuJoßof the EXCHEQUER, the Order of the Day was read ro the House going into a Committee on the Justice of Peace Bill; arid the House went into the Committee. Mr. Secretary PEEL—It is my sole object, in going into Comrnii:tee Bill; to make those al terations and modifications which I propose, In cn sequence of the suggestions I have received in regard to it from various parts of the country. I propose to except all these chums which are connected with the removal of the poor, and the passing of them to their parishes. They are nometimes alleged to be detained, and there are cases in which it is scarcely possible to except from the operation of this Bill. The next alteration le of this suture t a Justice of the Peace, with summary jurisdiction, hes no ether poeeer but to dispose of the case, or to remand the party if he have doubt. It very often happens that there is no proper place in which the defendant can be put, and he is left at the public house in the charge of the constable. I purpose to give the Justice of the Peace the power to admit the party to bail, provided he is eatisfied with the security offered. I shall im pose no obligation to admit buil but where it meets the discretion of the Magitrate, in a case which is of a doubtful nature. The Right Hon. Gent. moved amendments to this effect. Mr. BERNAL suggested that the jurisdiction of magistrates in cases of assaults should be extended, to prevent the escape of parties. He knew a case which happened at Gravesend, and before it could he adjudicated the offending redly had taken a pas sage by steam in the course of the next day. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman how far it was intended that Petty Ses sions should be held in open Courts. It would certainly be a great ielprnvement that this should be the case always; but us doubts existed on the point, he wished to call the Right Hon. Gentleman's attention to it. He would suggest a clause like this--" That ell such Petty Sessions shall be open Courts," or something to that effect. lie had also other questions to ask the lieght lion. Gentleman. On the evening when this Bill was introduced by the • Reght Hon. Gentleman, he would remember that he (Mr. Hume) had expressed a doubt whether by raising the qualification he would not narrow the power of selecting tit magistrates. lie had not changed his opinion, that if it were raised to 3001. or 5001., income was not the proper qualification for a magistrate, but character. Ile had moved for Re turns of the number of Justices of the Peace, and they had been laid on the table, but were not yet printed, and he could not refer to them. In 1817, the whole number, it appeared, was four thousand one hundred and nineteen ; and if the House looked at some tables to which he was going to refer, they might be able to ascertain the inconvenience of limit ing the power of selection. He had adopted two modes of obotinitig, as far as possible, a knowledge of the proportion from which the Justices would be selected, as at present and as under this Bill. By re turns laid on the table in 1814, there were state ments of the annual incomes of persons, of 100/., 2001., 3001., and so on in succession, derived from funded property end from possessions. From these he found the immense difference in the proportion of persons of 100/. u-year a.id persons of 300!. a-year. Of those who had incomes from funded property theme were for every 20,000 tvorth 1001. a-year, e,lOO worth 300/. a-year ; of those who had in comes from possessions, there were for every 26,000 worth 100/. a-year, 4,500 worth 300/. a-year. The Right Hon. Gentleman must see that he had much limited his power of selecting good Magistrates; he thought it should be always requisite that some individual learned in the law should sit on the bench ; there should be an Assistant Barrister, or some gentleman who had studied a course of law for three or five years. There was the more danger in limiting the number, because some counties were so coloured with one class of opinions. that it would be difficult to select proper Magistrates out of the our rowed circle. He objected also to the qualification being confined to landed property : why not extend it to funded property Mr. STURGES BOURNE objected to the qua lification being raised to 300/. a-yesr. He knew that had that been the case two years ago, two gen tlemen, now Chairmen of Quarter Sessions, would not have found their tray into the Commission of the Peace. He objected also to the clause that pre vented Magistrates from acting at the Quarter Ses sions, unkss they had attended at the Petty Ses sions during the whole of the last year. Many Ma gistrates might live 40 or 50 miles from the town where the Sessions we:e held, and there might be no particular business to call them to the Petty Sea- Eioni. It would have the effect of throwing all questions into the hands of the Magistrates in the neighbourhood of the town where the Sessions were held. After a few words from Mr. HUME, Mr. Wnrr moitE, Mr. PEE(., and others, the Report was brought up, read, and ordered to be taken into con sideration that day three months.—The Bill, as amended, was ordered to be printed. SUGAR DUTIES. The Report on the Sugar Duties' Bill was brought up, the Atnendments were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (this day.) The other orders being disposed of, the House adjourned at Seven o'clock. LIST OF THE MINORITY AGAINST THE GRANT OF 31.,4101.

The state of the northern exchanges would seem to be peculiarly unfavourable to the transmis sion of gold; but it is, nevertheless, we understand, about to be sent, and it necessarily stands therefore in the predi cament of an article of commerce which is wanted, and for which Exchequer Bills wiil not do as a substitute.

(From the Gazette de France of May 26.) PARIS, MAY 25.—Letters from St. Petersburgh assert that all the repotts respecting a blockade of the ports of Asia Minor, and that of Alexandria, are without foundation. The Russian Government has net instituted any blockade but that of the Darda nelles. It is added that it has not even the inten tion, or at least that it no longer has the intention, of instituting any farther blockade. It is thought that the blockade of the Dardanelles will soon be raised, because it does not at all contribute to the progress of the Russian arms, and continues to be, as it was at the beginning, a cause of irritation be tween the Cabinet of St. James's. and that of St. Petersburgh. However, these letters pretend that the two Ca binets are more irritated against each other than they were some time ago. Some ascribe this change to the concession made by England with respect to the frontiers of Greece. Others pretend, and per haps with better reason, that the Muscovite Cabinet becomes more moderate in its tone, because it feels that nothing is to be gained by breaking with Great Britain. The Duke of Wellington has intimated, in a deci sive manner, his views respecting the war with Turkey. Our Correspondent adds—" It is known at St. Petersburg!), as %veil as at London, that the great Captain, when he has once taken a resolution, never recedes. He will defend the liberties of Europe against the projects of Russia, as he de fended them against tke ambition of Napoleon; he will display the same energy in both causes, and there cAn he no doubt that he will obtain the same success.

GERMAN PAPERS. COX.STANTINOPLE, APRIL 25.—N0 news of impoi t ance from the theatre of war has been received fur the last fortnight. The terror which was excited among the inhabitants of this capital by the taking of Sizeboli has passed away, since it is affirmed that the Grand Vizier is taking measures not only to stop the progress of the Rus sians, but to recover all the ground that has been lost. Huseein Dacha had received orders to recover Sizeboli, but has hitherto only keen able to take a redoubt which the enemy hail erected before the place. Fresh troops have been sent him in order to drive the enemy from that coast, without regard to the sacrifices that it may cost. --Several ships of war were sent from Bujukdere to support Hussein Paella, but they were attacked lay the Russian ships cruising at the entrance of the Bosphorus, and compelled to retreat under the guns of the forts. It is now said that the whole of the fleet stationed at Bujukdere will Pail to the Back Sea as soon as the Sultan himself has visited it. The Sultan is daily present at the exercise of the regular troops and militia, and confers numerous marks of favour. Thus, be has given to French inetructois the Order of the Cres cent, and promoted Italian naval officers. This treatment invites foreigners, and several more officers have lately ar rived from Smyrna to offer their services to the Sultan. Since the arrival of Recischid Paella at the - army a new spirit seems to be generally infused, and the choice of this Grand Vizier promises to be attended with very favourable effects. • The Sultan esteems his talents and listens to his suggestiens, so that he may be said to direct the affairs of the empire. Thus he has obtained of the Sultan the ex change of the Rueeian prisoners, which was at first ob etinately refused, and thus opened a Way to an acceunnoda tion. His long residence iu Livadia, where he had an op portunity of making himself acquainted with European policy, appears to bo of use in his present situation, and to give to his proceedings a spirit of moderation to which his predecessors were strangers. It is s.iid the Rue-inn prisoners of war are to be sent to Odessa, as soon as the convention for the exchange is signed by Loth parties. They are already better treated, and receive all necessary support from the Danish Ambassador. For some days past the supply of the capital has been' regular, and all the inhabitants, without differ ence of religion, can obtain from the magazine flour and bread, en payment. During the late scarcity the Greeks, Armenians, and Jews, were excluded from this favour, and were entirely supported by the European Ambassa dors. For some days past it has been generally affirmed that the English and French Ambassadors will return to their post. This news is said to have been brought by an Austrian courier, and also by a French General, who put up at the residence of M. Jaubert. The negociatiuns of Jaubert and the Netherlands Ambassador, with the Reis Effendi, continue, indeed, but the only result hitherto is that the Porte persists in its opinions. Political effairs may, per!. ips, assume another form on the arrival of the Ambassadors. VIENNA, liar 14.—Illetalliquee, 99; Bank Shares, 1,109. MAY 15.—Metellignee, 98t ; Bank Share', 1,105 A. FILA,..:KFORT , MAY 19 —The Latest number we have received of the Courier de Smyrne, tip to the 12th April, contaies little news of an y importance. On the 2d of April three Russian men-of--war passed Mitylene, steering towards Tenedos, to reinforce the blockading squadron. Admiral Heyden had accompanied the President to Napoli, and as the Russian Agent, M. Bulgere, is also with the President, the Greek nation may see (says the Courier) that at the moment when the nation is forming a Consti tution, Count Cepo d'lstria has put himself decidedly under the protection of one of the Powers parties to the Treaty of the 6th July. M. Dawkins, the English Re sident at Egina, has desired of the Greek Government an official declarat i on of the ports of the Ottoman Empire which it recognizes as being in a state of blockade. RONIAN PAVEMENT.-011 Friday last, as some men were pulling down a fence in a garden at the top of North-hill, Colchester, the property of Mr. SAWS, a beautiful piece of • tessellated pavement was discovered thirteen feet in width ; the length has net yet been ascer tained. A short distance from this spot, at the top of Balkern-hill, as appears in- C'rr;+nw•ell'a _History of Col chester, stood. Colkyuge's Castle, or the Castle of King Coel, who reigned in the year 238, and made this town, which he repaired and 'greatly adorned, the seat of his government, and gave it the name of Kayr-Coel, signifying the tawn or city of Coel. The Saxons, it must be believed, if we follow up this idea, conveyed a corresponding mean ing, when they added to the came of Coel their Latinicel corruption Cester, or Chester; but at the same time in timated, through this latter term, their knowledge, that the ' place had been a Roman station.—Baser Herald. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—It seems there is never to be an end of the truubles of the farmers in addition to bad seasons, high rents, and low prices, there has lately come into this neighbourhood, a powerful enemy in - the shape of a savage animal, which has been variously supposed to be a fax, a wolf, or some outlandish monster. This kind creature, it appears, steals forth at tight, ac "lees a fine lamb, which it seizes, and having made an in cision, sucks the blood until its victim dies ; it then takes annther, and so on until it appeases its insatiate maw. Of course, rumour, with her hundred tongues, has been busy, but it is really puzzling to imagine what rapacious animal it can be. It has already destroyed lambs to the value of near 201., and still remains secreted. In consequence of this provoking annoyance, Mr. MaTritaw LEE, of Skir beck, in which parish the horrid creature has taken up its abode, invited a number of friends yesterday morning to hunt the monster. They assembled to the number of about fifty, equestrians and pedestrians, variously, and ; some ludicrously armed, and sallied forth 4, All the day they hunted And nothing could they find, Vitt same windmills turning, A-turning with the wind." And having spent several hours in beating the hushes, they were compelled to relicqui,h their labours, without seeing, hearing, or smelling the fox.

Fl . ve OPPICERS DESPERATELY WOUNDED.--Yesterday evening Bethnal-green and its neighbourhood was a scene of considerable riot and confusion, produced by many hun dred journeymen weavers and others, by whose lawless proceedings many of the houses of the inhabitants have been considerably injured ; and in addition to which we regret to state that five men belonging to the Bow-street Patrol have been desperately wounded ; one of them now lies at the point of death. 'Workmen have begun to pull down the hand some and substantial houses in Pall-mall, which stand be tween the new Athenaeum Club Howe, and the edifice occupied by part of his Majesty's establishment. The .alterations in the area of Corent•gurden roarltet are proceeding rapidly, and in good earnest— those on the north-side being needy completed, and the workmen being now employed upon the south. - - The value or character is exct edingly dimin ished when we see the facility with which it is obtained, and the thickness with which it is laid on in pro portion to the demerit of the object.

SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS. TWYFORD and Mr. BROUGHTON, the Magistrates of Worship street Police-office, were occupied during the whole of yesterday, in the examination of journeymen weavers, charged under the 6th Gen. IV., ch. 129, with having entered into a conspiracy, and endeavoured by threats and intimidation to force their employers to an al teration in their mode of carrying on trade as silk-maau facturers. John Alita, James Shipman, William Holdliam, Joshua Lewis, and Thomas Butler, jun., were first brought forward for re-examination, on the charge of Mr. Ambrose Moore, of Milk-street, Cheapeide. Mr. C. Phillips, assisted by Mr. Bruttun, attended to defend them. The defendants, it appeared, urged their employer strongly to a compliance with the resolutions of the trade, stating that, by compliance, be might avert the conse quences ; and that if he did not comply, they could not answer for the safety of his works. lie distinctly under stood from them, th it if he did not accede to the proposed terms, his works would be sealed up or destroyed. Their demeanour on each occasion, however, was respectful. The looms of Mr. Moore's work-people were sealed up on Friday night as threatened; and on Saturday night, after the second interview, when he was informed that the works had been sealed, the silk in two looms was destroyed. The evidence having been taken, the magistrates, after a private consultation, convicted all the defendants, and sentenced them to three months' imprisonment. William Hunter, Josiah Bird, and Joshua Shep pard, were then charged with a similar proceeding against Messrs. Tarrant and Co., of Steward-street, Spitalfields. Mr. Henry Tarrant proved that the three defendants waited upon him on Friday, with a written paper pro duced, to the effect— " That at a Shop-meeting held at the Three. Sugar loaves, William Hunter in the chair, the meeting agreed with the resolutions of the trade for sealing the works of those masters who refused to pay within ten per cent. of the book-prices of 1824. (Signed) " War. BURROUGHS, See." The men treated him very respectfully, and Hunter, who presented the paper, lamented that they bad been obliged to come to such a resolution, of which he greatly dis approved. MAGISTRATE-Did he express regret that you had not complied, or that he should be the bearer of such a reso lution? Witness—He regretted that the weavers had gone to such extremes, and also that I had not complied. The three defendants were sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The convictions, however, were appealed against. A number of similar cases were adjourned at a late hour. His MAJESTY entertained a select party to dirtier yesterday, at his Palace in St. James's. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Princess Aunt:STA, and the Duke of Ont.Earts, visited the KING yesterday. The Duke of WELLINGTON had an audience •eeterday of the Ktsc.

They were marched, the cavalry by troops, and the infantry by corn pauies, before the above-named party ; they next passed in review by files. During the review the Duke of WELLING TON was thrown from his horse ; his Grace did not appear to have experienced any material inconvenience, but re mounted his horse, and, at the conclusion of the Review, rode slowly through the Parks to his residence in Downing street. The Duke of ORLEANS was habited in a plain dress, and wore the cordon bleu; the Duke de CHARTRES appeared in regimentals. Their Highnesses left the Park in company with Viscount BERESPORD, Lord HILL, and other military officers, and were escorted to their hotel in. Jermyn-street. Shortly after their arrival their Highnesses entered their carriages, and proceeded to the residence of the Duke of WELLtiGTor,ito make their inquiries after the , health of his Grace. The Princess AUGUSTA, and several of the Nobility and Gentry, went to learn the state of the Noble Duke.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(`PHIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. THE XING V. THOMAS WESTVVOOD. • The arguments in this caw which came before the House and the Twelve Jqdges, in Error, were re sumed ais mornio;c. The principal question in the case ws., I,!z.4ther the corporation of Chipping Wycombe, in the county of Bucks, had a right to make a bye-law, under the charter of Charles the Second, whereby the Mayor and Common Council, without the concurrence of the rest of the Burgesses, might elect a Burgess. The defendant was elected under the bye-law a Burgess. In 1819, an infor mation in the nature of a quo warranto was ex hibited against hint in the Court of King's Bench and others; to this the defendant pleaded. The Chief Justice had very great doubt as to the power of the corporation to make the bye-law. Mr. Justice Bayley thought it invalid. The other Judges were of an opposite opinion, and a writ of error was brought. The Judges took time to consider the case. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) 11AY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.) ST.

TUESDAY, MAY 26.—The interest excited in the Cup Race to-day was little inferior to that existing on the St. Leger yesterday, the greatest anxiety being afloat as to how the renowned Velocipede would acquit himself. It will be recollected that for last year's Sr. Leger he was an um manse favourite, and that having been a perfect flyer at York, be was beat in a canter at Doncaster, insomuch that it was threatened to put him by for stock; it being dis covered, however, that he was not up to the mark in the St. Leger, the matter was reconsidered, and he was en tered for some Stakes this year, and, with what judgment, will he seen below. It certainly was Isold work to try him against such approved good horses as were entered in the same race, and the known tenderness of his legs made the experiment of starting him a ticklish one. The attendance was respectable, without being by any means crowded. There were present the Marquises of Cleveland and Sligo; Lords Kelburne, Scarborough, Long ford ; Sirs Bellingham Graham, W. Milner, Harry Good riche ; Honourables E. Petre. W. Duncombe ; Messrs.

Powlett's Penhill Mr. Earnshaw's Elastic, by Waverley Lord Scarborough's ch. f. by Pilgarlic Mr. Ridsdale's Donation, by Borodino 5 This being the first appearance of Voltaire for this season, the betting was interesting, and his running looked for with consider able anxiety. It was much regretted, however, that Sir Hercules was not suffered to start, as the clew to the great St. Leger would have been more complete. The odds, before starting, were :3 to 1 on Voltaire, who jumped off in front, kept the lead, and won in a canter, rode by J. Day ; Penhill by Edwards, Elastic by Temple man, Pilgarlic by Nelson, and Donation by Scott. The Gold Cup, value 10a guineas. Two miles.

Laurel led to the stand, where the othericame up, and a fine race ensued be tween all; but Velocipede, rode by Nelson, won by half a length. Nicholson rode Laurel, Chifney, Nonplus, and Edwards, Actaeon. Sweepstakes of 30 sovs.• each, for two-year-olds. T.Y. C.

After the usual pranks and false starts arising from a large field of youngsters, they went off nearly abreast, offering a most imposing spectacle. The Duke of Leeds's and Lord Kel burne's soon got in front, and led to the Gravel-pits, where the latter gave way to Mr. Western's and Lord Scarborough's ; the Duke's filly suffered herself to be headed for a moment, but speedily resumed her lead, and won rather cleverly by half a length —rode by R. Johnson ; Lord Scarborough's by Nelson, and Mr. Western's by Garbut. This race will have considerable influence on next year's St. Leger. . The Filly Stakes of 20 sous. eseli, for three-year-olds.

Tiv.: new views opened for inspection at this delightful 1 . ..7.hi;,iti0n are en: Interkr ctf Et Peter's at Rome, and the Vii/gfie Thi!rs in France. The first is painted, we u-Iderst4ml, by Mr. liourox, and does him infinite credit. Thu rirw is ta%en .Tparently ft:an the entrance of the C..thalral oppo,ite the choir, lookiny; up the great aisle, aid is only terminated by the canopy of the confession of St. Peter, beneath which the great altar is placed. The chief points to be admired in the painting, are the admir able distribution of the lights which fall between the lofty columns at the further end of the aisle, enlivening with a still mellow radiance all that comes within their sphere, in a way that cannot fail to excite astonishment. The stupen dous character, however, of the original is lost; no art, in fact, could give it, notwithstanding that the painter, with consummate tact, hss endeavoured to impress the immense height and space of his building on the beholder, by repre senting in very reduced size a groupe ef friars and pilgrims prostritting themselves before the sacred throne. The chaste but splendid floor is inimitably pourtrayed ; and the long perspective which almost rivals Maames attempts in that Iine—MARTIN, the finest and most triumphant master of space that the modern world has seen, or is likely to see for years—is so spirited, so easy, so perfectly and abso. lutely real, that the spectator is in momentary expectation of seeing some monk, nun, or pilgrim passing out from behind the columns, and up the aisle towards him.— Altogether the painting has hut one defect, which, as we said before, is unavoidable; it wants size, and so far verisimilitude. The French Village, in a different style, is equally good. The time at whiekthe spectator is supposed to view it is eat ly in the morning, the thin grey transparent mist of which yet hangs on the mountains that surround the village, shrouding their rugged sides in a gos samer sort of drapery, through which the more distant perspective is beheld. In the foreground, the little unas suming cottages that form the village, stand clearly and gracefully out, one in particular, with the smoke stream ing up perpendicularly from its chimney-top, is full of life and spirit. On one side is a little bridge thrown over a brawling rocky glittering streamlet, for the rushing of whose waters the spectator might almost be tempted to listen ; and on the other, a mass of fine umbrageous foliage, whose clear healthful green (to use a hacknied, but in this instance an appropriate phrase) it is quite refreshing to look at. Taken as a whole, the Diorama of this year may be pron. - minced fully equal to any of its ingenious pre d,ce.sors. We slwubl not omit to mention the very tasty way in which the entrance-hall is fitted up; itis simple but elegant, and suited to its season. COVENT-GARDEN. The Printers' Pension Society had, as it deserved, a full and successful benefit last night. The following Address, written by W. T. 111olsenrerr, Esq. was delivered by little KEELEY, in the character of a Printer's Devil. (Speaks behind the Scenes.) What ! I go on, and thank the gentlefolks ! Go on the stage ! A plague upon your jokes,— 'I cannot do it—l should die with shame ! Well, if I must—mind, you shall bear the blame. (Enters cleaning a Printer's Ball.) Ladies and Gentlemen—l beg your pardon For thus appearing here in Covent Garden ; 'Tie not my fault—l'd rather be at home, But I was by the Printers prtss'd to come. Having got all they can from you—'tis civil— For thanks they coolly leave you to the Devil! Start not—the Printer's Devil ! that ii me, No blacker than I'm painted, as you see, The Devil—that with Faust the first of Printers (Called Doctor Faustus) hail such odd adventures. Every thing's thrown on me, but you shall bear— Master, you know, commands the overseer, The overseer lie lords it o'er the men, The men they fig the 'prentices, and then The 'prentices blow me up—that's not civil— So good or had, all's laid upon the Devil! For every thing they want the pressmen call me, And if I do not answer they black-ball me. Nay, with abuse the very Authors cram me, And when I go for copy, curse and damn me ! Still 1 must speak a good word for the knaves, Although they use us worse than Turks do slaves. For if the Devil does not have pity, they Will rarely stew—there'll be the deuce to pay. Gentlemen of the Press, I ask your aid To aid those who aid you—you're all oue trade— Excuse my freedom, but you must agree' The British Press in all parts should be free ; And where, I'll ask you, would be your reports, If the Compositors were out of sorts? The ponderous words from many a learned head, That you take down, they put in kindred lead ; Give your notes value—measure out your rhymes, And yield "its form and pressure to the Times." The Press, great engine of all human . good y The widest spread the easiest understood,— Which knowledge circulates from pole to pole, Corrects the heart, improves and charms the soul'. To which unnumbered blessings owe their birth, Which yields an immortality on earth ! Oh ! of its members pardon each transgression, And let their merits make a good impression ; Nor your kind patronage to those refuse, Who're galley slaves to furnish you the News.— When press'd by poverty, and chas'd by care, Laid-up, and off their metal—in despair ! In worn-out case—and burthened hapless elves, Too oft with types in minion of themselves; What aid shall soothe their wants and charm their grief? Our PRINTERS' FUND, which yields to all relief; Which Pensions age, gives to desert its due, But which still owes its best support to you. Will you support it still and grant our suit— Bestow your aid, and your applause to boot ? Yes, from your presence here, a proof I pull, We Printers like to see our loxes full. 'Tis all correct, no chance can now defeat us, So without bodkin, I'll make my quietus. IN VESTMENTS FOR CAPITAL. At a time when money has become of little or no value (for our country readers should know that it is impossible to get two per cent. for the unemployed capital), and the funds so high that it is as impossible not to contemplate a re-action, it appears quite extraordinary that the only, and certainly the best resource, for those who would render their capital quite secure, have not availed themselves of the few opportunities to invest in land. The position we take up is not one of a doubtful nature; for it is manifest to the weakest imagination that a warlike message froM Russia, or any great Potentate, would, of necessity, re duce the price of the funds 20 per cent., while it is equally obvious that the same cause would increase, and in the exact same proportion, the value of land.— The funds only produce Si per cent., and with the fear ful apprehension of one-fifth of the principal being reduced by the cause we have alluded to, and land (the staple commodity after all) is selling to pay the same rate of in terest. It is therefore inconceivable how the great Capi talists can hesitate as to the course they ought to pursue: to illustrate this position let us look at the facts as they pre sent themselves. We will suppose the peace to continue, and two angry messages to arrive this or t✓ie succeeding year (that is at all events allowing a great extent of time.) What will be the consequence ? it is morally impossible in the present state of commerce that a rise of one per cent. can take place, and if the reverse of our position occur, the funds must necessarily descend 20 per cent. Who then can hesitate? It might have been argued a little time ago that nothing eligible was in the market ; our columns, to-night, show that such reasoning will not apply at this moment, for (with the exceptioa of the Marquis of ORMONDE'S) the largest Estates that ever came to public competition are to be sold in the ensuing month and in July. We shall watch the result of these Sales, in order to see how far our reasoning is in accord ance with public opinion. The Sales of Lord ORIIONDB, which were under the special direction of Mr. GEoitoE Roams, demonstrated the increasing value of land. The Property announced this evening is consigned to the dis cretion of the same gentleman. This is a singular and flattering coincidence. The spring having (though late) at last made it: , first appearance this season (adopting a theatrical phrase), although rumour had been busily afloat that it was postponed to the ensuing season, our columns this evening give a cheering prospect to those who would now recreate in the country utter a long and tedious winter. The comfortable abode and delightful grounds of the late Lady ROBERT . 31ANNERS, at Sutton; Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES' beautiful place at Highwood Hill; the late Lord NORTHWICKS splendid park and domain at Harrow, with many other v]las adjoining; Grove Palk an d M r . N EILD ' S elegant residence both approximatin g upon the Duke of DEVONsunth's, near the Horticultural Gardens, Chiswick), Kingswood House and Park, beyond Dulwich ; Park Hill, near Clapham, &c. &c., are all announced this evening to be sold next mouth GEORGE Roars. DESTRUCTION OF OXFORD-s 1 RUT BAZAAR. A little before four o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday, an alarm of fire was given from the Dio rama picture gallery, which is only divided from the stands by a thin partition, and immediately after wards the whole of the company rushed out. The scene of confusion and terror that subsequently took place it is impossible to describe. The company which were promenading the walks having only themselves to attend to, soon gained egress to the s treet ; not so the proprietors of the different stands, who strove to save their property. In this, how ever, they could not succeed, owing to the rapidity of the flames, which soon gained such an acen daney, that all idea of preserving the building be. came hopeless. On the first alarm, the parish en gine was sent for, which arrived very shortly, ac companied by a number of constables. A detach ment of Coldstream Guards was sent from Portman street barracks, for the purpose of assisting the con stables in preserving order, the thoroughfare being so great, and such vast multitudes having assem bled, that the firemen found great difficulty in play ing their engines. A party of the patrol also W.- tended from Bow-street office. About twenty minutes after the fire broke out, the building was one mass of flame, which is not surprising consider ing the inflammable materials composing it. For tunately, a plentiful supply of water being obtained, the engines, amounting to 10 or 12, were enabled to play upon the destructive element with such effect, as to prevent it communicating to the ad joining houses. Before five o'clock the Bazaar tray reduced to a heap of ruins, not 201. worth of pro perty being preserved. The fire originated, as supposed, from some spirits of turpentine commum* eating to a beautiful transparency in the Diorama, representing "The Destructiim of York Minster by Fire." The Bazaar was the property of 'Nlr. Ham let, the jeweller, who let it out to the proprietors of the stands at so much a foot. The property de , stroyed consisted of the paintings in the Diorama, of which there was a choice collection belonging tts different individuals, who placed them in the gallery of the• Bazaar for exhibition; fancy metchandize of every description composed the rest. We uml:r -stand the building was insured in the Sun Fire office, but we believe no part of the goods which it contained was insured. The building cost, we be lieve, above 10,0001.; and it is said that the pro perty therein, which is all reduced to rubbish, was of the value of 10,0001. more. The houses in the close vicinity of the building are damaged more or less. Vast numbers of pickpockets were at the scene of devastation, and notwithstanding the vigi lance of the officers several petty robberies took place. (LATEST PARTICULARS.) Although the probability of the tire f!xtendhig self beyond the site of the vast building in uhich ..; commenced had ceased at an early how'. Yet it was found necessary up to midnight to keep th' o Ott three engines constantly playing upon the smoulder- - ing heaps of inflammable materials contained therein. The property destroyed was formerly a workshop and carriage depository, in trite occupation of the well-known coach-builder, Mr. Leader, at II" , hie!! time it had entrances from Oxford-street, 01511 e, street, Winsley-street, and Wells-street. Havins been bought by Mr. Hamlet, the entire area was cleared, and a bazaar and exhibition rooms erected en its site. Fortunately for the owners of the surround ing property the walls were built of a thickness pro portionate to the large area they enclosed, and the roof having fallen in soon after the fire commenced, the flame was left without a vent, and wus easily kept tinder by occasional exertions of the firemen. Mr. Rawliason, the magistrate, vas on the spot till a late hour. At his suggestion a fresh body or soldiers were ordered to protect the premises, in the place of the party which had previously retired, SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken be fore Mr. GELL, at the sign of the Marquis of Granby, South Andley-street, on the body of a young matt (name unknown), apparently about 25 years of age, who shot himself through the head with a horse pistol, in Kensington-gardens. William Everard, gatekeeper of the Grosvenor gate, Kensington-gardens, stated that on Monday afternoon last, between six and seven o'clock, he heard the report of a pistol, about 100 yards front his gate. On going to the spot, he found the de ceased lying on the ground, bleeding and quite dead ; he had a small foreign horse-pistol lying on his breast. He immediately called for assistance, and Lord Grosvenor came up, and saw the body. His Lordship said he would give orders at Mount-street workhouse to have the body removed. Witness never saw the deceased in his life before. The beadle said that every inquiry had been made, but they could not discover who the unfortunate man wag. He was dressed in shabby black. The only thing found upon him was a cotton pocket handkerchief, and some snuff in a paper, and a book and pencil. The pistol and the book were produced ; in tlic book was written in pencil,/ " Thomas Colbeck, aged 25." It was entitled the " Book of Fate," translated from the German, a silly catchpenny for tune-telling book, stated in the preface to have been obtained from the cabinet of curiosities belonging to Buonaparte during the confusion at the battle of Leipsic, after the defeat of the French army, and also affirming that the Emperor always consulted this oracle before he determined upon any enter prise. Directions are given how to work the dif ferent problems, and it was evident on a blank leaf in the book the unfortunate man had been consult ing this oracle, from the marks he had been making, according to the directions. This being the whole of the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased shot him self in Kensington-gardens, but whether he was sane or insane at the time, there is no evidence to prove." THIEVING EXTRAORDINARY.—We have all beard of the wonderful magpie, that had an unconquer ablepenchant for appropriating to itself the property of others; for which an innocent "maid was made to hear the blame; which constitutes the ground-work of a ver:• tole rable drama. The jackdaws of the now roofless monas.. tery of Helyrood, appear to bear some resemblance to this celebrated magpie, for they have also their thieving pro pensities. A few days ago one of these " bold outlaws" actually carried off several yards of lace; which being oh served, a toldier undertook to scale the walls and recover the lost property. To his surprise he found the following articles in the nest :—One black worstead stocking, one silk handkerchief, one frill, a child's cap, and the iden tical piece of lace which was the cause of this discovery.— Several other articles were also found ; but in such ,e mutilated state, that they baffled even antiquarian re search to give them " a local habitation and a name."— Caledonian Mercury. About a month since a man named JOHN LAwt.xss, a herd on the demesne of Loan CLIFDEN, it Gowran, in endeavouring to catch a cat which had got into a lime-kiln, was bitten by the animal on the index finger of the left hand. The wound, which appeared trifling healed in a few days, and excited no concern. However, at the expiration of a month, LAWLESS waa seised with a pain in the fore arm, which afterwards ex tended to the shoulder. The poor man being subject to a rheumatic affection, supposed it to be merely an attack of that nature; but on the second day the pain became vio lently acute, and he sent for Surgeo❑ NY.WELL, the medi cal attendant of the Dispensary in Gowran, who, on ex amination of the case, found it to be of the most alarming kind. In the evening symptoms of hydrophobia began to appear, and at an early hour next day, a medical prac titioner from this city was called in, who, on seeing the patient, agreed in opinion with the former gentlemen as to the nature of the disease, and that no hopes could be entertained of the man's recovery. Every effort which medical skill could devise was resorted to, and with the effect of producing a consi,lerable diminution of the dreadful sufferings which afflicted the wretched patient. He expired on the third day (Wednesday), and has left, we understand, a wife and six children to lament his loss. Itigcrerator.

The distinguished Freehold Mansion and Estate, so long the admired Residence of Lord Northwick, on Harrow Hill, environed by its finely-timbered Park and extended Pleasure Grounds, with ornamental Water, 'and instant Possession; and two modern Gothic Villas, and Grounds contiguous, with Eight Acres of Land, and the Her mitage a little detached. 31R. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on TUESDAY, the 9th of June, at Twelve, by direction of the Executors and Trustees for Sale, and unreservedly, in Lots, at the Auction Mart, opposite to the Bank of England, this singularly BEAUTIFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which has long been the DISTINGUISHED FEATURE of this ADMIRED NEIGHBOURHOOD, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendation, that it would be as impossible as it would be superfluous, in the confined lienits of an advertisement, to attempt a pane gyric. HARROW PARK was for many years the favoured Retreat of LORD NORTHWICK, and mote recently the abode of MAjor- General ALEXANDER ISLRRAY McGREGOR, deceased. The Mansion ha', been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary, beau tiful, and interesting views which the terrace walk com mand ; the panorama presented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will . not yield to any in England. The Residence possesses, in an eminent degree, all the Rectum modatiorr A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION CAN DESIRE, and the domestic arrangement and Out-offices of every de scription are so complete as to leave nothing to be dean - ed. THE PARK OF SEVENTY ACRES, most Inxueiantly timbered, bas uniformly been the subject of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and lwautiful inequality in the grounds that necessarily add to the imposing effect, whilst the majestic Timber, scattered about in pleasing.negiigence, and the extended ORNAM ENTA I. WATER, winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis posed grounds, contribute, in no small degree, to the coup d'ceil. Of the latter it will probably be quite sufficient to add, thit the genius of Repton presided over the disposi tion of the pleasure grounds. THE :HERMITAGE, CONSERVATORY, AND ICE-HOUSE are all- judiciously placed, and the hot and auctesslicn houses, with the pinery, are all _ AS RECHERCHE as the most fastidious can desire. In fact, it will be diffi cult to suggest a luxury or a comfort that is not conspi cuous here.. There are two modern Gothic Villas,• just completed by Mr. Decimus Burton. with Gardens and Grounds to each, very contiguous to ilsrrow Park, witk Eight Acres of Land, including the Hermiti , p, and to be sold on the same day, in separate Lots. Particulars may be had until the Sale at the Park Lodge,' Harrow; of Messrs. ll‘Dougall, Sou, arid Bain briggr, Solicitors, Parliament-street; at the Mart ; and cards to view may bs had at Mr. Geirge Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. ON THE COAST OF HAMPSHIRE, BETWEEN SOUTHAMPTON AND PORTSMOUTH. A Desirable Freehold Residence, with suitable Offices Gardens, Carriage House, and capital Stabling, sur rounded by One Hundred and Sixty-five Acres, statute measure, of excellent Freehold Land, Four Labourers' Cottages, and Two Pews in the Parish Church. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on TIIL'ASDAY, June 11, at Twelve o'clock, AVery Valuable and Desirable FREE HOLD PROPERTY, particularly eligible as an Inveettnent, and advantageous and profitable to the Agri culturist; it comprehends a Residence, substantially and very conveniently built, calculated for a Family of respec tability, with corresponding offices of every description; the latter secluded from the abode by Shrubbery Walks, Fruit and Flower Gardens, &c. ; the situation is un usually inviting, and particularly dry and healthy, adjoin ing the turnpike road, contiguous to PORTSDOWN HILL, two rni!es from the capital Market town of Fareharn, seven from Porter:loath, fourteen from, Southampton, sixteen from Petersfieg, and Chichester. Connected with the Farm are Barns, Stabling, and Granary, Cart Houses, ; apacioss aa.l convenient Homestead ; four Labourers' Cottage. end harden., and ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES, statute mea sure, OF THE FIRST QUALITY OF ARABLE, MEADOW, AND DOWN LANDS, upon which is a Chalk Pit, with A Kiln thereon constantly in use. The Pit contains an inexhaustible supply of Chalk of the best quality for making lime, and for rale for manure, for which articles there is a constant demand ; its conveyance to the surrounding neighbourhood is cheaply and expe ditiously accomplished, the Pit being within a Mile from the Water side. This property is entirely within a Ring Fence, in the occupation of a respectable Tenant for the last fourteen years (whose Lease expires at Michael mas next), at an inadequate Rent the last renewal being in 1522, (the very worst year for agricultural proluce that can be remembered.) The Residence was recently tenanted by Admirals Paterson and Gif ard, and now by the Proprietors. The whole Estate is in perfect 'order and complete repair. The Prospect rooms offer uninterrupted and very interesting scenery, ex tending to Portsmouth Harbour, Spithead, the Isle of Wight, and Southampton Waters. The View from the Down Lands is still more interesting and beautiful, em bracing a distance of at least 20 miles in every direction of Sea and Lou],a which probably is not equalled in England. The Taxes are very low; the Land Tax on the Dwel ling-house is Redeemed. Four stage-coaches to and from Southampton, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, and the mail between Bristol and Portsmouth pass the premises daily ; and two Passage-boats, to and from Portsmouth, afford a eheap and expeditious communication, the distance being about tour miles. Particulars of this most desirable Property may be had only till the Sale at the best Ilan, at Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham, Petersfield, Chichester, and Brigh ton ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's olgoes, Londe., where a eketsh of the SlltatV may be *ea. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS; The proposition of the Duke of Richmond on Tuesday last, for increasing the duty on foreign wool from id. to 3(1. per lb., was one of those the real effect of which, if adopted, would be the reverse of that which its advocates appeared to look for, and which at first it might seem calculated to pro duce. The Noble Mover took for granted, that be cause'the price of home-grown wool had fallen, the fall must have been produced by the importation of the foreign article. His Grace ought to have made it clear, or at least probable, that no other causes were at work. Has foreign wool maintained its price? We are told not. Has British wool main tained its quality ? Lords Harewood and Wharn el.ffe, the best authorities in England, assure us that it has not ; but that, from the mode of feeding sheep or other cause., it, has much deteriorated. Again, the Duke of Richmond ought to have laid ground for believing, that to contract the importation of fo reign would extend the consumption of British wool by the manufacturers of cloth for exportation. So far from such a consequence being likely to" follow, it is considered as a datum by all men conversant in the trade, that cloth made up of British wool alone is not a marketable commodity any where, arid that if the manufacturer were cut off from the mixture of wool of foreign growth with that of home growth, the result would not be to extend the use of home-grown wool, but to drive the British manu facturer out of the business, and to throw the whole export trade of England into the hands of the French, the Flemish, and German clothiers.— The question ought to be argued on principles fami liar to those who have examined the subject of the silk-trade, and often referred to by this journal in discussions not long past. The English throwsters clamoured for prohibitory duties on the thrown silk of Piedmont, but they could make no answer to the f►ct that silk goods of any value cannot be wrought without a considerable admixture of thrown silk from Italy; and that if deprived of it the British weaves might lay by his shuttle, and the throwster betake - himself to the poor-rates. So with wool : a certain quantity of foreign wool is necessary to make the home wool saleable. A large duty on the foreign raw material would so enhance the price of the cloth itself, as to exclude the British manufac turer from all competition with his foreign rival, and would of necessity recoil upon the British grower, by rendering his material unfit for use. This is the whole of the reasoning. Nobody denies that the flock master of this country obtains a less price than he did some years ago forhis wool. Lord Ellenborough attri butes the fact to over-production, from a multipli cation of sheep r and to an extended substitution of cotton goods for woollen. We cannot at once lay our hands on information connected with this sub ject, sufficient to confirm or refute these assertions; but we have heard that there is an increase in the quantity raised of foreign wool, as well as British, and that a more powerf►►l rivalry has arisen in foreign countries to the British woollen manufacturer, as well as, to the British grower, which will sufficiently account for the statement made by the Duke of Richmond, that there had within the last four years been a decline in the export of British cloth, as compared with the four preceding. If, moreover, such a falling off has really taken place, does it not demonstrate the madness of ar►y proposition to raise the price of that indispensable material—viz. Spanish and Saxon wool—when, under the ad vantage of a diminished duty, the manufacture which depends upon it is maintained with so much diffi culty ? We rejoice to find that upon this question his Majesty's Government has formed, a►id will adhere to, the system of encouraging British ma nufacture by better means than prohibitory duties Timer?. We really hardly know what people are contend ing about, or what measure they would recommend, when they speak with clamour of the present state of the country as one of extrem e su ff er i ng a nd dis tress. That it is not a season of full employment and abundance, is but too true : but what is it, com pared to the prophetic descriptions which have been given of it for the lust two years ? Now is the time when wheat was to be a shilling a bushel, and farms were to be all thrown up ; and England, in fact, was to become a desert ! Arc these things so ? The last harvest produced probably but scanty crops, which in the south were ill got in ; in the north they were abundant, and the grain was better housed : there have been also considerable importations. Yet, not withstanding this, and the extinction of sma ll notes, wheat maintains a fair price,—too high an one for the poor labourer. On the subject of crops, how ever, we advise the public at all times to beware of impostors. To hear the people who call themselves political economists, and the yet greater louts, the country gentlemen, talk, you would think that they knew to a bushel how much grain of all kinds was produced every harvest. They know not hi ng what ever of the matter. Their opinions, however con fidently given, are not worth a barley-corn. With respect to the small notes now recalled, some bankers of tottering credit, looking to the state of their own concerns, have been impud ent l y g i v i ng out that they must be re-issued. The declaration of the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords on Tuesday evening, has given a detrh-blow t o th at . wild and wicked hope. Grace declared ex pressly, that Government " would persevere i n t h e measure, for the purpose ot placing t h e fi na n c i a l concerns of the country in a proper state." Nor is there any reason why they should not persevere, it being obvious that the recall of the sma ll notes, from which so much difficulty was predicted, has occasioned none whatever. Observe, we do not say that there is not pressure and embarrassment ; but the embarrassment and pressure are not greater than they were when the small notes were in circulation: the recall of the small motes cannot, therefore, haYe crested er even aggravated the nsisvhief, There is less distress now than there was last year at this time—less than in the spring of 1827 ; less, infinitely less, than in that of 1826, when small notes were abundant. How, then, can it be said that the pre sent extinction of the small notes has occasioned the pressure, be it more or less, which is felt ? The Duke cf "Wellington's statement is authentic and undeniable—that the present circulating medium is more than sufficient for all the wants of the coun try, consisting of notes of 5/. and upwards, and gold supplying abundantly the place of the small notes. The nationa! debt has distressed many a loyal reasoner, and cheered the heart of more than one knave and traitor ; yet still the interest. of the national debt will be paid, in contempt of the fears of the former and the hopes of the later, even though 11. notes are withdrawn from circulation. This is very extraordinary, after so many "great geniuses" had predicted the direct contrary. Upon the whole, the Duke of Wellington's speech, to which these remarks refer, is satisfactory so far as it goes. If, to the information that no tricks were to be tried, no experiments practised, in the funds or on the finances, he had added the assurance (that assurance the fulfilment of which in his case may be almost considered as citing dicto), that needless establishments would be cut down, tasteless extra vagance controlled, and annual expenditure dimi nished, and the poor supplied with corn at the cheapest rate, it would have left the nation nothing to desire.—lbid. The Lord Chancellor's Bill for creating a new Equity Judge having been withdrawn for the pre sent Session, that appointment which rumour va riously destined will not immediately take place.— Changes of a considerable nature in the legal depart ment are, however, forthwith to be made. It is understood to be settled, strange as it may seem, that Sir W. D. Best is to leave the Common Pleas, and, with a Peerage, to take upon him the Deputy- Speakership of the House of Lords ! His promotion makes way for Sir Nicholas Tindal, who will be come Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and so leave the office of Attorney-General open to Sir J. Scarlett. In the contemplation of these arrange ments, which would create a vacancy in the repre sentation of the University of Cambridge, several persons have been mentioned as likely to be compe titors for that honour :—Mr. Goulburn, whose official station as Chancellor of the Exchequer would have ensured his success, had not his recent acquiescence in the liberal measure of Ministers indisposed the High Church party towards him; Mr. Cavendish, the heir to the title and estates of Devonshire—a very young man, who lately took the degree of a Second Wrangler ; Mr. Frederick Pollock, who has been recently named as likely to be Solicitor-General. This gentleman now fills the office of Commissary in the University, which is in the gift of the Chancellor (the Duke of Glouces ter), by whom he is supported. Mr. Pollock is further recommended as having taken the highest University honours. He was a Senior Wrangler.— To these names, that of one of the Messrs Bankett is to be added, but which of them nobody seems to know; and as they are alike devoid of just pre tensions, it seems a matter of perfect indifference.— Morning Chronicle. The conduct of Mr. Nash formed the subject of warm discussion last night in the House of Commons. Colonel Davies confined himself simply to moving " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Nash, so far as regarded the granting of leases, or the sale of Crown lands in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, in Regent -street, and adjoining the Regent's Canal." Sir M. White Ridley, on the part of Mr. Nash, expressed great anxiety that the charges aga'nst him should be in vestigated thoroughly ; and Mr. Jones, on the part of Mr. Edwards, whose name had been introduced into the discussion of •Mondrsy night' in connection with Mr. Nash, said he could assure the Honourable Member for Worcester (Colonel Davies), that he himself, as well as the Honourable Member for Newcastle, knew something of the transaction ; and that Mr. Nash's character stood fully as high as that of the Honourable Member for Worcester himself, and Mr. Edwards's also." Mr. Huskisson said " the Honourable Member for Worcester had ob served, on a former night, that he had his information on undoubted authority, but that he was not at li berty to name his informant. If the Committee were granted, all he (Mr. Huskisson) should pray was; that the informant as well as the party might be brought both fairly before the House, arid that there would be no attempt to evade the detection of the informant by the charm of secrecyovhile the other party was dragged before the Committee to be ex amined. He would tell the Hon. Member for Worcester, that when the Committee Was named, that anonymous informant should appear. (Hear, hear!)" It is, no doubt, proper that individuals should not be loosely asailed in the House of Com mons. But we do not see the propriety of this minatory language in the outset. Of course Colo nel Davies would not think of moving for a Com mittee to investigate into the conduct of Mr. Nash, without being prepared to submit to the Committee evidence in support of the accusation. It is quite time enough to talk big when Mr. Nash has made his appearance and no accusers have been produced. We never like this big language before hand. It is exactly the language that a man conscious of some thing wrong would use, in order to deter .his assails ants. The tone of triumph is most in place when the accusation has been preyed groundless. After all, the conduct of Mr. Nash in the matters alluded to is a very secondary matter. The great affair is the trickery (for it deserves no other name) by which the nation has been choused out of such an enormous sum of money for the erection of un un sightly edifice. Mr. Nash is but an instrument, and no one dares to point to the party really in fault.—lbid. It is almost ridiettlons now to talk of the reporting the debates in Parliament as being a breach of privi lege; the plain truth being, that the speeches that are made there are, in fact, quite as much addressed to and intended for the eye of the many, as for the ear of the comparative few who hear them. What passes in Parliament has long since become, and is, in fact, the food and foundation of history. Members themselves take up and comment upon the report of each father's speeches as authentic documents, which the whole world, in fact, looks to as the only touch stone of truth in the midst of those vague surmises and mistakes with which every other source of poli tical information abounds. Surely them it is the more to be lamented that those on whom the litho rious and important duty devolves of reporting to the present and to future ages what passes in the Legislature should be so situated, as to obtain that so imperfectly, and as it were bystealth, on theaccuracy of which not only the truth of future history, but so many present interests, depend. In all the efforts of human -intellect (and we say it advisedly, and with pride and satisfaction), there is none more astonish ing than the accuracy with which the debates in Parliament are given, considering the difficulties and disadvantages under which those who execute the task labour. This difficulty has of late years, and especially during the present Session, been much enhanced by the low tone of voice in which many persons in Parliament now deliver their sentiments. We trust it is no breach of privilege, or even affront to Members, to,say, that if they mean, as they evi dently do, that their sentiments should go forth accurately to the world, they should be delivered in a tone of voice which the faculty of bearing may reach. Nor is it, we trust, any affront to both Houses of Parliament to say, or indeed on the part of the country to demand, that they should be con sistent with themselves, and that if they speak, as they manifestly, do, to t h e wor ld , t h at t h ose w h o are to be their reporters should be placed in situa tions to enable them to be faithful ones.—Morning Vera.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAr 27. THE KING V. HUMPHREY PRICE, CLERK. The defendant, who had been convicted at the last Hereford assizes, of having published a series of libels, reflecting on the conduct of the High Bailiff and Magistrates of the town of Kidderminster, and also certain inflammatory addresses to the carpet weavers in that place, tending to excite them to a continuance of the outrages which they had engaged in in the early part of the last year, came up, at the sitting of the Court this morning,to receive judgment. Lord TENTERDEN intimated, that owing to the great pressure of business at this period of the term, it would be impossible to take the case until next term. They would at once postpone the case till the first Thursday in the next term. The defendant, who appeared satisfied with this arrangement, then withdrew. DOE, EX DEM. WOOD AND OTHERS, V. BRENTON AND OTHERS. In this case, in a former term, a rule nisi had been obtained on the part of • the defendants, to stay the proceedings in this action until the costs of a former action, brought by the late Mr. Joshua Rowe to try the same right and question (the right to certain mines in Cornwall) as in this action, had been paid. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. FOLLETT now showed cause against the rule. Sir J. SCARLETT (with whom was Mr. DAM.. PIER), in support of the rule, entered into a short detail of the proceedings which had taken place within the last eight years respecting the right to the Cornwall mines and minerals. The present ac tion was brought by Benjamin Wood (►he person who had brought two former actions) and several other persons, and the cause of action was the same as in the former ejectment. The defendant had been already put to an expense of about 10,0001. by the proceedings adopted in these cases: and it was now for the Court to say whether, under all the circum stances, the parties ought to be allowed to proceed further without either paying the costs already in curred, or finding some - secnrity for the payment. The. COURT thought, that as another action was now pending which it was intended to take down for trial at the next assizes, the best way of dispo sing-of the matter now would be to enlarge the rule till Michaelmas Term, and to- stay the proceedings in the mean time.—Rule discharged accordingly. SALES BY AUCTION. AT HIGH WOOD HILL, IN HERTS, A FEW MILES BEYOND HENDON, THE ADMIRED FREE HOLD RESIDENCE, PARK, AND DOMAIN OF THE LATE SIR THOMAS STAMFORD RAF FLES. MR, GEORGE ROBINS has the plea sure to announce that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the 11th of June, at Twelve o'clock, a distinguished FREEFIOLD PROPERTY, which partakes of the style of A VILLA RESIDENCE OF A SUPERIOR CIIA. RACTEII, 081 HIGHWOOD HILL, has for many years been proverbial, no less for ita external appearance, than the very great conveniences which will be found to preside throughout the interior of this favoured retreat; it is judiciously seated on a lofty and command ing spot, giving very great facility to views which can hardly be surpassed in any part of England. THE TERRACE WALK is of considerable extent, and adorned by a multitudinous collection of all that is rare and estimable in plants and flowering Shrubs. The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, and the fruit trees prolific, and of the best kind. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND SHRUBBERY WALKS EXTEND NEAR ONE MILE, and ate well sheltered from the north and easterly winds, and it would almost appear, from the extraordinary tact that is manifest every where, that the genius of Repton must have been enlisted into the service; it was from this interesting spot that LADY RUSSELL dated her memorable letters. SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES, whcse good taste ha• always been admitted, expendei many annuli , ' Pounds, in rendering complete this seductive and most desirable Property. THE ESTATE COMPREMENDS, IN PARK AND GROUNDS, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY- TWO ACRES of excellent land, which completely environs the Mansion. There is also (and to be sold iu separate lots) seven Cot tages, and a Resid.nce, with Public House, &c. ; also a Farm-house and suitable buildings. The Estate may be viewed till the sale, and partieu lars had et Highwood Hill House; also the Three Cranes, Edgware; Abercorn Arms, Stamnore; Essex Arms, Watford ; Bull, Ilendon ; Messrs.

Mr. TAUNTON showed cause against a rule nisi, obtained on a former day by Mr. Campbell, for leave to exhibit a criminal information against Mr. Pelley, a Magistrate of the county of Gloucester. The Learned Counsel observed, that this application arose out of a conviction, under the Game Laws, of a Mr. Robert Saunders, an attorney of Bristol, on whose affidavit the rule had been obtained. Rule discharged—Mr. Pelley paying the Cogs. THE KING V. JOHN FISHER AND OTHERS. Mr. BROUGHAM moved to make absolute the rule obtained by him last term, for a criminal informa tion against John Fisher, Hobert Alexander:: and George Gate'', the printer, publisher, and proprie tors of the Morning Journal newspaper. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the defendants, said, that this was a rule obtained at the instance of Viscount Itabayana, the Ambassador from his Majesty the Emperor of the Brazils to the Court of London, for a criminal information against the defendants for a paragraph published in their Paper reflecting on the conduct of his Excellency. He could not deny that .the paragraph. was libellous, and he was now authorized by the defendants to state their convic tion that the statement it contained was unfounded, and to express their sorrow for having published un founded aspersions on the prirate character of the Ambassador. The defendants humbly hoped that the Court wo•ild think this apology sufficient to jus tify his Excellency in forbearing to rress to have the rule made absolute. Mr.' BROUGHAM, on the part 'of Viscount Ita bayana, was disposed to accept this as a sufficient apology, though it came very late. The Court, in discharging the rule, would of course order the de fendants to pay the whole of the costs. Lord TENTERDEN—Yes ; let the rule be dis charged, the defendants.paying the costs. Rule discharged accordingly. To-morrow (this day) being Ascension-day, the Court will not sit. THE KING V. CAPEI. The defendant, who was convicted at the last AAsizes for Hertford of an assault upon Mr. John Parkes, was brought up for judgment. The assault in question was that of breaking a fishing-rod be longing .to the prosecutor, who - was angling in a stream which ran through defendant's grounds, who is Vicar of Watford, Herts. The Court ordered him to be fined sixpence and discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MA T 27. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. In the course of an argument to set aside a judg- ment on the ground of irregularity, allusion was made to the defendant having pleaded the statute of limitations, which led to a long argument, in the opinion of the Judges as to the validity of such a plea twing a complete bar to an action. Mr. Baron GARROW said the Judges were now unanimous on this point, that the statute of limita. tions was the best possible receipt a man could have. He remembered Lord Kenyon once sayi ng , t h at after six years he thought it would be prudent in any person to destroy all his receipts. The Court afterwards heard a few motions, and then adjourned, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 1. EVERETT V: DESBOROUGO. Mr. Seijeant WILDE resumed his argument in this case to-day in support of the verdict of the Jury, contending that as there had been no misre presentation ou the part of the plaintiff, the policy was good, and he was entitled to recover. Mr. Serjeunt MEREWETLIER replied. Rule absolute for a nonsuit. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 27. Joseph Manton, the celebrated gun-maker, came up to be heard upon his petition. His debts, as stated in his schedule, amounted to 20,000/., but the actual amount of debts contracted by him since his bankruptcy in 1826, was not more than between 5,000/. aHd 6,000/. Upon obtaining his certificate, he entered into business again, having been assisted with 700/. by a Mr,. Wilkinson (described as a widow), who had formerly lived as a nurse-maid in his family. The discharge of the insolvent was op posed by Mr. Todd, a wine -merchant, in John -street, Adelphi. The opposition, however, was not of that nature to warrant the prisoner's detention, and the Court accordingly decided that he was entiiled to the benefit of the Act. He was cautioned, how- ever, not to appear again in that Court, unless the usual time had elapsed from one period of insolvency to another. IN THE MATTER OF SAMUEL SEABOCRN, AN INSOL• VENT. Mr. Coosa, on behalf of Mr. Brown, Warden of the Fleet prison, appeared to show cause against a rule obtained upon a former day, calling upon that gentleman to show cause why he should not be committed to prison for contempt, in having refused to obey the order of the Court, which directed the discharge of the above-named insolvent. The learned counsel, after adverting to the vague man ner in which the report was drawn up, and to the falsehoods contained in the insolvent's affidavit, pro ceeded to argue that the proper place had not been chosen to bring this question to an issue. Mr. Brown held his appo:ntment under letters patent granted by the Crown, and by virtue of an act of Parliament passed in the reign of George H., enti tled " The Lords' Act." In the Hilary term of the 30th of Geo. 11., certain rules and regulations were made by the Judges of the Common Pleas, for the government of the Fleet prison. By the fifth of these rules any prisoner who refused or was unable to pay chamber.rent, might be turned out in the common wards; and the sixth rule said, that ... the warden shall have liberty to detain the pert of prisoners until all fees were paid by them. c d learned counsel, in supp or t o f hi s ar guments c h ip the case of Roehfort, in the Common Pk. , o f which the Court laid it down, that the War d44l Ld the Fleet prison was perfectly justified in demon" fees of prisoners. Mr. CRESWELL followed on the same side. , be Mr. DUNN, contra, urged that the rule sho ul d made absolute. The simple question was this—lis Mr. Brown justified, a y e or no , i n i m prisoning `...i insolvent for the amount of his fees, and did lie ',— thereby incur contempt ? The Learned Gentle.; in speaking of th e r ul es an d regu l at i ons made by e ' Court of Common Pleas, conten d e d that no J had the power to order the imprisonment of al ; • • dividual who was lib era t e d f rom cus t o dy by v of an Act of Parliament.

S omerville, the physician to Chelsea Hospital, states ci 'tt Water to be very impure. " The title," he says, 1 " UP THE MAS. 4 OF IMPURITY roonecrn BY ALL r ! -* / IS CO RRUPTIBLE IN TUE ANIMAL AND VEG ETABLE ~,, ° '"'nt TOGETHER WITH THE NOTIGUS FILTH OF C AS AND • gFli MANUFACTORIES, THAT CONSTANTLY FLOW INTO , ' "AMES FROM PATTERSE• DOWN TO GRAVESEND.

The last professional gentleman to whose evidence we shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work on Diet. He pronouuces the wa►er to he impure and offensive, and says that it stinks shortly after it has come in. LARGE QUANTITIES OF MATTER ARE MECHANICALLY SCSPENDF.D IN IT. " As A PHYSICIAN," he says, " I CAN— NOT FIND TERMS SUFFICIENTLY EXPRESSIVE OF THE AW. FUI. EFFECTS IT MAT BE LIKELY TO PRODUCE UPON THE HEALTH, AND EVEN LIVES, OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE METROPOLIS " And in the last edition of his work he goes still further, and asserts, that if a remedy be not ap- plied to the evil, " THY RAVAGES OF SOME EPIDEMIC MAY BE FAIRLY ANTICIPATED." SUCH IS THE PICTURE-THE FAITHFUL AND FEIOHT• FUI, PICTURE-OF THK CONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE THAMES, AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, most populous city in the world—the seat of a more opu lent body of nobility and gentry than is to be found in any other Metropolis—should, for so long a time, have been contented to have SEEN DAILY RUNNING INTO VIZIR CISTERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOR ALL DOMESTIC AND CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OF LIFE, SO LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO BE PRONOUNCED, ET PROFESSIONAL HEN OF THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO ➢E OFFENSIVE TO THE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination, and destructive to the health, is a 'fact that would not hare been credited, and that ought riot fo biiiis — becti credited, but upon evidence unanswerable. TM, RESULT OF THEIR LABOURS' IS THR RRCODIMRN- DATION OF A GINNE/tAL STSTSM OF FILTRATIONA STS- TEM, NOT LIMITED TO THE FIPTY-THICEN THOUSAND FAMILIES DAILY DRINKING THE FILTHY FLUID OF WHICK WE HATE BEEN SPEAKING, BUT EXTENDING ITSELF TO THE HUNDRAD AND SAVIENTT-SIX THOUSAND TENANTS or THE NEW RIVEN. AND OTHER. COMPANIES, coNsumING THE TWENTY-NAYS MILLIONS Or GALLONS DAILY SUP- PLIED TO THE METROPOLIS. Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commissioners were drawing up their Report, the patent for " The Royal ilter for Cisterns" had not passed through the tedious or deal of office, OR IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFTER READ ING THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT IT MUST HAVE FORMED AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CON CLUSION To THEIR LABOURS.—The subjoined extract from aProspectus, issued by the Proprietor, WILL BE PERUSED WITH THE LIVELIEST INTEREST BY ALL WHO CONSIDER CLEANLINESS TO BE ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH, AND THE PITHITE OF THE ELEMENT OF WHICH WE ARE TREATING, TO BE NEARLY OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE WITH THE ♦IR WE BREATHE :- " The Royal Filter for Cisterns will he found superior to all filters hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not only POSSESSES THE POWER OF CLARIFYING THE WATER IN A PRE-EMINEN I' DEGREE, BUT ALSO THAT OF COMPLETE PURIFICATION, RENDERING TILE MOST TURBID, STAGNANT, AND FETID WATER, OF A CRYSTALLINE BRILLIANCY, DL:rruviNo IT OF EVERY NOXIOUS INGREDIENT, AND, IN PACT, PRODUCING 4 NATURE'S NECTAR' IN THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PERFECTION; THAT IS TO SAY, CLEAR AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL." The rapidity of the process may he understood by a single observation, " THAT SO FAST AS THE WATER IS SUPPLIED AT TOP. Tor OF TISK CISTERN, SO FAST IT WILL DISCHA RG I, ITSELF FROM THE BOTTONI." " But where," the reader will naturally exclaim, " is the proof of all this to be found ? We mnst hays 'some thing more solid and satisfactory than hare assertions."— The following statement must, we think, set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. flume, the respectable and talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in an;dysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for analysation ; THE ONE FULL OF ♦LL SORTS OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY IMPEEGN ATM) WITH GAS; the other, a bottle which had contained the same foul ingredients, lint had been purified by the Royal Filter. In the unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty-six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains were the original ingredients peculiar to the water, and dissolved in it : " fur," he observes, " there is no water, however pure and wholesome, whether from deep well,, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from saline and ether soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." In the filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, on examination, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and solutde in, the water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the impurities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car bonic acid gas. Mr. Hume concludes with hearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery: " After a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce the method which has been adopted to filter this specimen of water to he most effectual, and hi :; bly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion I had formed of this new process fur filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH NIKTOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS ANA OTHER ?Mr C RITIES, BECAME CRYSTALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. ThUS it is deArly proved, THAT OF TOE FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A HALF OF soup MATTER ORIGINALLY FLACFD IN THR ROYAL FILTF.II, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINY OF SUBSTANCES PASSED THROUGH IT; AND ATBIICII SIX- TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATEB, IN ITS PRIMITIVE. STATE, AND NOT AT ALR DELETERIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is' greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellen, e or " The Royal Filter." Professor Brandt, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical men, have each had the Hovel Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, fintid water of clirystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell.

The great Tythes extending over 10,000 Acre•, of which 7,000 Acres are Fertile Land, and Glebe Estate, with a Gentlemanly Residence and 69 Acres of Land, and a Farti Ist at Fifty Guineas a year. 'The Value of the Tythes exceeding 1,500/. a-year, held •f the Bishop of London, fur three lives; renewable according to custom. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the plea sure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart is London, on THURSDAY, the 26th" day of February, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, an exceedingly valuable Property, with a view to a safe and permanent Investment of Capital ; it comprehends the GLEBE ESTATE ; WITH A GENTLEMANLY RESIDENCE, AND OFFICES, PLEASURE AND KITCHEN GARDENS, _ seated in a Park Meadow, gradually reclining to the Town, and in a neighbourhood remarkable for its sociability. There are corresponding offices of every description, and IMMENSE TYTHE BARNS, together with about SIXTY-NINE ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, is a high state of cultivation, in the occupation of Mr. Sal ter, a most respectable tenant, at a low rent of 2001. a year. Also, BISHOP'S FARM, at Woodcock hill, in the occupation of W. Flower, Esq., at a rental of 521. per annum, and the GREAT TYTHES of the WHOLE PARISH of RICKMANSWORTH, extending over a Domain of 10,000 Acres. of which 7000 ACRES ARE RICH ARABLE AND MEADOW LAND. The compactness of this parish and the proverbial con vertability of the soil, would render it even in times (gone by) when Agricultural Distress prevailed, a certain source of secure and solid income, and necessarily, by parity of argument, now that the son shines propitiously on the adventures of a farmer, with the slow but certain effect necessarily resulting from the Corn Bill in view, it would indeed be diffienit to suggest a more eligible mode of employing capital. The Parish, it has already been ebsei yed, includes TEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICH LAND, Divided into convenient Farms, Woods, and Commons, and occupied by a most respectable Tenantry. The pro perty intended to be sold (besides the great Tythes upon Corn, Grain, Hay, Aftermath, and Clover), includes the Glebe Estate. The whole was subject to a very moderate valnatien, two years s ince, and made under circumstances of great depression, when the result exceeded 1,5001. A-YEAR, UPON A MOST CONSIDERATE ESTIMATE. THE PRESENT REAL VALUE, INCLUDING THE GLEBE, EXCEEDS 2,100/. A YEAR. . _. . . The FAtate is held for three lives tinder the Bishop of London, subject to a quit rent of 271. a year, renewable according to custom ; and the reciprocity of advantage is so manifest, that it will always insure a renewal when a life falls in. It is upon this principle very confidently submitted as a solid and improving source of Revenue, the mere so, when it is remembered that ita approximation upon the neighbouring excellent Markets, and the reedy access to that of London for all its produce, will always give it a commanding character.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, in One or more Lots, at the Auction Malt, London, some time in the month of MAT or JUKE next (unless previously disposed of by Private Contract.) This most desirable Property presents to the Capitalist an advantageous mode of Investment, and to the Field Sportsman and Agriculturist an inexhaustible source of pleasure and profitable amusement. This Estate consists of the MANOR OR LORDSHIP OF ALBRIQHTON, well stocked with game, and of the entire Township of Albrighton, containingB3s Acres of Land, now in the pos session of respectable tenants (except 67 Acres of Wood land, in hand) at several yearly rents, amounting together to 1,0801., and upwards.

THIS ALBRIGHTON ESTATE possemes unusually great heal and other advantages First—lt is situate within two miles of the POPULOUS TOWN OF SHREWSBURY, proverbial for the opulence, rank, and fashion of its inhabi tants, and not less so for the goodness of its markets, afford ing to the Grazier and Agriculturist a ready sale for the produce of their farms, whatever it may be, close to their own doors, and affording them also the opportunity of ob taining dung and other manure for their land, ak a mode rate expence, besides being within throe miles of lime; and, next— TILE LAND IS FREE OF TITHE, With the exception of a certain portion of corn and hay tithe, and besides, free of parochial rates and dues, the Chapelry and Township of Albrighton maintaining its own poor, by which all the rates and taxes of the farmer are comparatively nothing, not exceeding upon an average of years Is. to 15d. in the pound ; and next—Coal of a good quality, and not difficult of access, is known to be in part of the Estate, and which, in the opinion of per eons well acquainted with such matters, might be worked with considerable prospects of advantage by any monied proprietor of judgment and spirit. Annexed there is an ancient, yet a substantially built Mansion on the Estate, the residence of former owners, now occupied by a farmer, and which at an easy expence might be restored to its former splendour, a circumstance of no small importance to a Sportsman, from the House being in the centre of the Shropshire Hunt, and a Pack of Harriers being kept in the adjoining parish. Upon the whole, to any person wishing to invest money in the purchase of Land, either for occupation or invvstinent, such an opportunity as the present very rarely occurs.

A distinguished Freehold Residence, with large Garden and Offices of every description. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is entrusted to SELL by PRIVATE TREATY, (or to LET for a period of years), A NOBLE FREEIIOLD MANSION, erected in the good old times, when substantiality was voted en essential appendage ; it has recently been decorat ed in a manner corresponding with the be,t taste, and is most delightfully situate on the EAST SIDE OF CAVENDISH-SQUARE. It comprehends an entrance ball, in which there is a porter's lodge. The entrance hall communicate* with a morning room, 19 feet by 21, and that with a library 22 feet by 19, and both with an eating 'room, 38 feet by 23 feet, also with a new back stone staircase, from the base ment story to the attics, on which back staircase there is a water closet for every story, and water is laid on to the highest attics. Over the eating-room there is a drawing town, 38 feat feet by 23, that communicates with three other rooms of smaller dimensions, all communicating with the spacious drawing room, and each with the two staircases; over these are bed rooms, with dressing rooms, and large convenient closets. The attics are newly built. The basement story consists of a spacious new kitchen, apart from the mansion, a large convenient housekeeper's room, butler's pantry, wine and beer cellars, &e. ; also a fine spring of pore water, and a stove at the bottom of the back staircase, to warm and air the whole mansion. The stables and coach houses, with servants' rooms over them, are in a superior style, situate at the bottom of a spacious garden, which is in view of all the rooms in the back of the mansion, as the front rooms are of the garden of the Square. The Premises are freehold, and in the most perfect state of repair, fit for immediate occupation ; and it is supposed there is not in the Metro polis, and to he disposed of, a mansion so well suited to A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION. From this description it will be seen that the arrangement is altogether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ; in fact it would partake of the work of supererogation( to add one word beyond this simple expression—that it was remodelled and completed under the direction of sir Jeffrey Wyatville. Cards to view may be had at Mr. Georzs Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, London.

Superb candelabras, exquisitely chased tripods and epergnes, elegant plateau dishes with covers, ragout ditto, a noble cup on pedestal, ioe pails, cups and covers, candlesticks and branches, A SPLENDID 6ILTER GILT TEA AND COFFEE OONGREKE'S BALSAMIC ELIXIR, LVJ a Specific for every - species of Cough, Hoopieg- Cough, and Asthma, and the incipient stages of Consump tion. The sovereign power of this invaluable Balsam is truly surprising, for however obstinate and of long standing the above Complaints may be, they speedily yield to its benign influence ; and the Patient will, after a short trial, be restored to a state of convalescence. ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. It cannot be doubted that many men of eminence in their profession have signally benefitted mankind by hand ing down to posterity the result of their studies. This fact is fully deMonstrated in the present day by the efficacy of many medicines, which have deservedly obtained an ex tensive share of public patronage and support. The Proprietor of the above Elixir inherits all the va luable Recipes of his late Father, who practised as a Sur geon in one of the Midland Counties the greater portion of his life, with the most flattering success. It is therefore introduced to the Public, not as a nostrum to beguile the unwary; hut, on the contrary, as a known Specific in Coughs, Hooping-Cough of Children or Adults, and Asthma, in all the variety and degrees they assume. The extraordinary efficacy of this valuable Medicine in Coughs and 'looping-Cough has been sovereignly developed in the Proprietor's family ; and many others have experienced an entire cure of the most obstinate cases, after regular medi cal advice and attendance have been unavailing. Under these auspicious circumstances, the Elixir was first intro duced. It has found a very extensive sale; and it is still extending with the knowledge of its extraordinary virtues. With the vast variety of cases which have come to his knowledge, wherein this valuable Balsam has proved a real blessing to the afflicted by restoring them speedily to perfect health, the Proprietor conceives that he would be justly chargeable with an obduracy of feeling towards them in particular, and a dereliction of duty towards the Public at large, if he did not proclaim to all, that a more safe and effectual remedy in the above disorders has never been dis covered. It has been ascertained, that fifty-five thousand persons, out of a population of upwards of eleven millions, have been hurried off the stage of life annually into an untimely grave by Consumption ; and yet it is a melancholy fact, that no disease is less regarded in its incipient stage : and it is equally certain, that none are more needful of early attention than its forerunners and fatal harbingers—Cold and Cough ; as from inattention to these primary symp toms, the complaint often rapidly advances to its latter in flammatory stages on the lungs, when all hopes of effecting a radical cure must be a mere chimera ; for in the first stages of Pulmonary Consumption remedies are alone likely to be successful. To all, therefore, who are thus suffering from the before recited complaints, a Remedy is now offered in this Bal sam, with the utmost confidence; and the afflicted of every age will find on trial, with perfect astonishment, that much less patience and perseverance is needful (under the blessing of God) to effect a radical cure by this Medicine, than can be effected by the customary means. Its admirable properties all combine, in operating with a mild and safe, yet sovereig❑ effect. It very speedily re moves all the causes of obstructed perspiration, from whence Colds and Coughs arise ; and every other obstruction to which the human frame is liable from the same causes. It gently opens the chest, and affords immediate relief to those who are affected with obstinate Coughs, Aetbmae, Wheezing, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and all Disorders of the Breast and Lunge, by removing the tough phlegm surrounding them, which, by a mechanical irrita tion, excites the tickling cough so extremely distressing to the patient, and thus restores the organs of respiration to their natural and healthy action. In all the stages of Hooping-Cough this Balsam has proved a certain cure, almost to a miracle, even when the disease has appeared invincibly proof against the power of medicine ; and, if it he taken in its first attack, will invariably prevent its further progress, and entirely re move it. In fine, such is the virtue of this Elixir, that it is equally celebrated as a preventive of the above complaints, as it is for their cure ; and one or two doses will be generally suf ficient to repel the first affection, anti to prevent the de plorable effects resulting from inattention to the primary symptoms. It being impossible, in the limits allotted for an address like the present, to embody the beneficial elects arising from the Balsam now recommended to the afflicted, the Proprietor has submitted a few Cases, from the many in his possession, to conciliate those who might otherwise reject so valuable a remedy. CASES. TO MIL CONCREVE. Respected Friend,—About two years ago I was attacked with the Hooping-Cough, which terminated in an Asthma, and, after very great suffering, I was induced to try a bottle of thy Balsamic 'Elixir, from which I received great benefit ; and by taking one more bottle, am with much thankfulness completely cured of the complaint, though in the 63d year of my age. My desire that others may have the benefit of thy valuable Medicine has induced me to for. ward thee this my approval of the same. I am with esteem thy friend, ELIZABETH THONISON. Rye-lane, Peckham, 20th 2 Mo. 1826. TO MR. CONCREVE. Sir,—The whole of my family had been afflicted with EQUIPAGE, waiters, inkstands, and an infinity of articles for the table and sideboard.

Also THE MULBERRY TREE-BOX. made of the wood of the renowned tree planted by OUR IMMORTAL BARD at Stratford-on-Avon. The authen ticity of this box is placed beyond doubt; a most respect able man (a tenant of the late Duke of Dorset) made an affi davit that it was from the genuine tree, before a ltighly es teemed clergyman, who is now living to corroborate this interesting fact. French clocks with pedestals, and nume rous ornaments of great rarity. There are especial reasons that the sale of the whole should be peremptory. The Collection will he on ♦iew the Friday and Saturday previous, when descriptive catalogues may be bail at the Office of Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden. WOODS AROUND WITH PHEASANTS. There is Gravel and Frosstene upon the Estate, and it is hardly doubtful that COAL AND IRON may be included in the long list of inviting properties eon nected with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity are good, and the river Severn approximating upon the Coten Property, gives additional facility to the export of the pro duce to distant markets. There are Corn and Water Mills, and the INN ON THE ROAD MIDWAY BETWEEN BEIDGB NORTH AND KIDDERMINSTER is an additional feature. Indeed it would he very difficult to suggest so satisfactory an Investment, in a County proverbial for all the advan tages the molt favoured can aspire to. THE YEARLY VALUE IS £2,700. Printed Particulars will be ready Twenty-eight Days prior to the Sale (with Lithographic Plans attached to each), at the principal Inns at Worcester, Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Lodlov, Hereford, Birmingham, Shrewsbury, and Liverpool ; of Mr. Nicholas, Solicitor, Bewdloy; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. TO MR. CONGAEVE. Sir,—Having witnessed the good effects of your Cou';h Medicine on one of my children, I em constrained t 0.4- prise you of it, for the benefit of others. He was afflicted with a most violent Cough (so much so as frequently- to change his countenance), attended with strong hopping, which appeared evident to me, and to many others, that it was that painful disorder, the Hooping-Cough, which has carried_ofr thousands of all ages. A friend of mine being very anxious about the child, brought from you a sma!t bottle of your Balsamic Elixir, and its value soon appeared in the effects it produced, and that speedily—very speedily. In about three or four times taking it allayed the disorder, and has quite removed it. Nis age is about three years and a quarter. I think that a Medicine so valuable as this, and so likely of being made so generally useful, deserves every publicity and recommendation that can be given i t for the good of the Public. With this view I write this note, with lull liberty to make what use you please of it. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, High-street, Peckham, Surrey, 1827. J. ISIOSS. Mrs. Parker, 27, St. James'..treet, Camberwell, had a violent Cough, attended with fever; which was entirely removed by taking only one small bottle of the Balsamic Elixir. Witnetts, HANNAH PARKER.

When I began to take it I was in a deplorable condition ; my breath was so short, that it was with the greatest di ffi culty I could get about, and myAsthmatie Cough was so violent, and the fits of coughing continued such a length of time, that there was the greatest danger of being strangled. My health declined, and my flesh wasted away ; and to all appearance I was in the first stage of a decline. I bless God I ever heard of your Medicine. I took it, and found almost immediate beneSt from it to my breath. I soon found myself to be a different man. In short, I could walk about, and breathe quite easy ; and zrs my lungs gained full play from the effects of your truly valuable' Medicine, my Cough (to the astonishment of every bet4y)" ceated, so that I could attend to my work with compare. , tire comfort. lam now taking the second large bottle, and nearly restored to my former state of health. I feel myself bound in gratitude to send you this case, and hope that thousands of others who are afflicted with obstinate Asthmas and Coughs will no longer delay, but follow my example, and that of others who have had courage to give it a fair trial, and found it to be a safe and certain cure. It has indeed raised me from the brink of the grave. I am your humble and grateful servant, 14, Regent-street, Hunter-et., Old Kent-road. PATRICK CONNER. Witness, George Brace. TO 711 R. CONGAFTP.

Sir,—l have for some years been afflicted with a most ♦iolent Asthmatic Cough, to such a degree,' as to be most distressing to all around me; and having had medical ad vice, and tried almost every remedy my friends suggested to me for its removal without effect, I abandoned the hope of recovery as a vain idea. A friend of mine having de rived considerable benefit himself from a few doses of _•our valuable Medicine, prevailed upon me to give it a trial, though it was contrary to my inclination, as it appeared that nothing lint a miracle could cure me. I found almost. immediate relief from it, sty Cough gradually abated, and at length subsided ; and a steady perseverance until I had taken two bottles, has fully completed the long desired, but unexpected cure; so that I am a wonder to myself and those about me, particularly at my advanced age of life. You are at liberty to make what use of this letter you may approve of, for the benefit of mankind similarly affected. lam Sir, your bumble servant, Primrose-hill, Salisbury-square, Witnegs, S.

Sir,—l have had a violent Asthma and Dry Cough from fifteen years of age, and have tried every remedy prescribed for me, and recommended, without receiving real benefit. And this autumn the attack has been more than usually severe, for I may in truth say, that never in my life have I suffered so much from it. For a week together I dare not lie down in my bed for fear of strangulation, and have been propped up in bed for weeks together from that cause. Hearing of your Balsamic Elixir, by persuasion of a friend my husband went to your house and purchased a small 2s. Pd. bottle immediately, which I took to my great relief and astonishment at the wonderful effects it produced. It surpasses all the prescriptions ever made up for me in my life. I am now in the fortieth year of my age, and my employment is that of a laundress. What I have suffered from my com plaint no one but God can tell or judge. The attack of my asthma and labour of breathing was beyond every tiling bad this autumn. But thank God for your valuable Medicine; for if I had not found it out when I did, to the comfort of myself and friends around me, I could not have survived long. I feel very thankful for such golden drops of comfort as they have been to me. My cough began to abate gradually from the first dose of your Elixir that I took. The third night I went to bed with the greatest composure; and though I was brought very weak, and my shortness of breath made my life a burden to me from the excess of my complaint, yet 1 slept until five o'clock in the morning without coughing or even waking, to the greatest joy of myself and husband, who had not received any rest for many nights before. lam now, after taking only three small bottles, in better health than at any for - mer period in my life, and am completely cured of my coin plaiut.

An industrious man of the name of Marsh, who rrsides at Steeple Bumpsteld, and lets out threshing machines, drill and mole ploughs, and other implements, was engaged in thre.hing at a farm in Toppesfield, on Friday, the 16th, when a warty of labourers, in number 30 and upwards, took away his machine by force, and con veyed it into the adjoining parish of Stamboul - Le, where they broke it to pieces. —E.e.r Hcruld. A man with a woe.beponc countenance came to consult Dr. Brown concerning his health, who com plained of dreadful gripings in his stomach, and a degree of inflation that made him fear lest he shuuld burst. Dr. Brown immediately inquired into his diet, and he con fessed that during, the heat of the day ho had eaten two large water-melons, and afterwards had drunk proportion ably of water of the wells. We all laughed heartily at the dismal countenance of this water-melon glutton, and offered him some brandy, which he sairl he dared not touch, being a sheriffe. We then explained to him that Afahomet allowed the use of that liquor as a medicine.— To this he seemed anxious to agree, and, seizing a tumbler nearly full, he swallowed the contents with all die ease imaginable, but making dreadful grimaces afterwards, as be smacked his lips with inward delight. The liquor soon began to act on his bead, and, while the juice of the water melons seemed oozing nut of his inflamed eyes, he laid his hand on his fat belly, exclaiming, Bonn tibid, bonn—a good doctor, good. At last sleepiness began to overcome him, and he reeled nut of the tent, to the great amusement of our guards, praying Allah to forgive him for using so cursed a liquor as a medicine.—Beauclerh's Journey to Morocco. A COURTED BACIIELOR.—In the cathedral city where I visited a friend some years ago, there were 43 single women, from sixteen to fifty, and only three mar riageable men. Let any one imagine the delight of receivt• ing the most flattering attentions of fifteen women at once. some of them extremely pretty and agreeable; or, I should rather say, front forty-five, since the three bachelors, poli tically avoiding all appearance of preference, were courted equally by nearly the whole phalanx of the sisterhood.— One of the enviable men being just of age, was indeed ton young to excite hopes in the elderly ladies, but another mow fortunate, if he knew his happiness, ss.i si bona ',pelt, was exposed to the attacks, more or lees open, of every nninarried woman. Alas! he was in sensible to his privileges; a steady man of fifty-five, a dignitary of the church, devoted to study, and shy is his habits, he seemed to shrink from the kind at tentions he received, and to wish for a less favoured, a less glerions state of existence. His desires seemed limited to reading the Fathers, writing sermons, and doing his duty as a divine ; and he appeared of opinion that no helpmate was required to fulfil them. But still the indefatigable phalanx of forty-five, with three cr four widows as auxiliaries, continued their attacks, and his age as I before ebserved, was fatally encouraging the hopes of each. The youngest looked in their glasses and remembered the power of youth and beauty ; the middle-aged calculated on the good sense and propriety of character of their object., and where " sure that lie would never marry a girl ;" and the most elderly exaggerated his gravity, thought of shovel hat, and seemed to suppose every woman under fifty !oust he too giddy for its wearer. Meanwhile, what a life he led ; his opinions law ; his wishes gospel ; the cathedral crowded when he preached ; churches at tended ; schools visited ; waltzing calumniated ; novels concealed ; shoulders covered ; petticoats lengthened—all to gain his approving eye. The fact is, his sphere of use ful influence was much enlarged by his sink state : as a married man, he could only have reformed his wife ; as a bachelor, he exercised undisputed power over every spin titer in his neighbourhood. He wax, indeed, unconscious of or ungratified by the deference and incense he received ; but the generality of men are less insensible, and half the homage he so carefully rejected would have been sufficient to intoxicate with delight and se lf- comp l acenc y th e gr ea t part of his fraterni ty.—wArete mommy Magazine.

Dr. Ryan observes in his essay on the supply of water to the metropolis, mid an account of its simple and corn liined states, with the chemical composition, and medical uses, of all the most noted mineral waters in Europe, in diseases of the stomach, liver, and in hypoeliondriasis, hysteria, &c. :—" The fluid, which is the vehicle of human food and nourishment, must . have a constant and powerful agency on the animal machine, and hence the great neces sity of the purity and salubrity of that fluid." The Medical and Surgical Review says, the author has displayed great research and ingenuity in this work ; and the learned doctor adds, " the Royal Filter " will chrystal7 lize and render free from taste and smell the most foetid stagnant water, eves that supplied from the Thames, when strongly impregnated with gas. THE WATER DOCTOR.—Every body who knows Charles Mathews aho knows that he is a very Censitive man, par ticularly in all matters relating to health, cleanliness, and diet. The comedian lives at Kentish Town, and a wag visiting him the other day, took with him a powerful mi croscope, by the aid of which he showed Mathews that he had for a long periml been swallowiug myriads of animal coke and other impurities in every glsss of water he had drunk. Duly impressed with the impm tance of the subject, the comedian Nval ruminating on the best mode of cleansing his stomach and purifying his pipes from the sediment of the company's water, when he by chance came into contact with his friend George Robins. The cause of his distress was quickly communicated to the facetious auctioneer, who as quickly bit upon a core for his friend's alarm. Mathews was immediately driven to the office of the Royal Filter in die Strand (of which George Robins is the patentee); some of the foulest of the common sewer impurity, called water, impregnated with all sorts of unutterable things, from Cloa cina to coal gas, was placed in the cistern, mid in less than one minute came forth clear, pure, and fresh as the crystal line stream. "Is this a pantomime trick ?" said Ma thews ;" it cannot be real." " Taste and try," said the patentee. The comedian was fully satisfied of the wonder ful properties of the " Royal Filter," and immediately or dered one, prognosticating that he should now be a water drinker for the rest of his life." THE HOME SECRETARY AND THE COURT OF ALDERMEN. The conference about to be held between Mr. Peel and the Court of Aldermen, on the subject of the state of the city prisons, is expected to be at tended with very satisfactory results as regards the course pursued by the Hon. Court. The report from the Gaol Committee, of which Alderman Wood has been fur a considerable period most actively engaged, has comprehended all the points of Mr. Peel's letter. It states, that after a due examination of the gaol of Newgate, in con formity with Mr. Peel's view of the classification of prisoners there, it was ascertained that an ade quate classification was attainable without putting the city to the enormous expense of increasing the size of the prison ; that the increase of the size of the prison would be attended with the inconvenience of discharging, as quickly as pos sible, all the county prisons into Nesvgate ; that it would be desirable if the county Magistrates would direct that the prisoners committed by them for petty offences should be detained in the county prisons, as was formerly the case, until within a few days of the session on which the accused were to take their trials, and then sent into the gaol of Newgate; that the building of the new county prison in Middlesex, and the condition of the prisons in which prisoners were lodged previously to committal, favoured this arrangement, and that the object of classification would also be effectually facilitated b y as speedy a disposal of convicts after trial as possible. It is also stated in the report, that the object would be made further more attainable by recording the capital sentences where it is not the intention to inflict that penalty, as is the case with the Judges on circuit. Irpon the propriety of concurring in this report, there was no hesitation in the Court, we understand, except upon the part of Alderman Atkins, who stated that Alder man Wood was the whole committee himself,—that he took upon himself to do every thing—to he every thing. He (Alderman Atkins) was net at all satisfied with this way of getting up reports upon gaols. These observations were dissented from strongly by every member of the Court. Alderman WOOD denied that he had arrogated to him self any undue control in the committee. Alderman ScuotEr thought the observations of Alder man'Atkins extremely unjust and uncalled for. Every one who had an opportunity of observing the conduct of Alderman Wood could not but bear testimony to the great assiduity with which he endeavoured to forward the into rests of his fellaw-citizens; and if Alderman Wood hap pened to be more attentive to business than other gentle men, sorely he was not to be blamed. The great anxiety shown upon all occasions by that worthy Alderman to serve the citizens of London would not be miseontrued into an opposite feeling by those who were capable of appreciating his exertions. These were evidently the sentiments of the whole Court, with the exception of Alderman Atkins, who repeated his charge, hut without effect. The conference, it is supposed, may embrace the subject of the refusal of the Court to allow warrants to be available in the city without being hacked by a City Magistrate. 'lle city committees have scratched nut the names of all persons crt their lists who have been guilty of defrauding by false measures, or who have not paid 20s. in the pound. Some of the Aldermen and of the Commoners have come in for a scratch, and cannot serve. The committees dine together after the performance of their duties. The very interesting phenomenon of the Iris, or rainbow, was accidentally produced-on Monday last, at Witham. The inhabitants were trying the force of a fire engine, which they have lately received from London, the Economic engine playing at the same time, and both forming a sort of semi-circular shower in four streams, when a beautiful arch was observed in the spray, having all the prismatic colours of the simple rainbow. It was owing, no doubt, to that power, which any small dis persed particles of water have of producing this, we were going to say, artificial rainbow, from their refractive pro. perties, when opposed to the sun's rays. It has been doubted whether the same effect has ever been discovered from causes so purely incidental.—Esser Herald. Due. , - LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY SO, 1829. It is said that an extraordinary Courier has arrived in Paris, bringing an account that the Emperor NICHOLAS has given orders to the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE to march, at the head of the Polish army, to occupy the Princi palities, while the Russian army pursues its operations in Turkey• We do not believe that the EMPEROR would disclose his plan so soon if he really intends to act as stated. Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been received. The only thing worthy of notice, in a political way, is the denial by the Austrian Ob server, that considerable armaments are making in the Austrian Empire, and particularly towards the Venetian territory. Prince METTERNICH' is unfortunate in his domestic hopes—his Prin cess having suddenly died Just as a British Ca binet messenger was leaving Vienna. If we re collect rightly, it was only a few months ago that they were married. Bombay Papers to the lith August have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they contain no intelligence of interest. We are sorry to understand that the season had been unusually fatal to Euro peans—many deaths are recorded, and cholera morbus was afflicting► the Settlement to a very alarming degree. German rapers of the 23d inst. have been received this morning. They contain some ac counts from the frontiers of Servia, dated the 6th, the purport of which is, that the Turks are reinforcing their garrisons on the Danube—and distributing large masses of troops over the country, in consequence of the great priva tions to which they are reduced for want of provisions. In fact, such is the distress at Shumla for food, that upwards of twenty thousand men are ordered towards the Danube, because it was found impossible to provide for them st head-quarters. It was this movement of ne cessity, on the part of the Turks, which the Germans some time ago trumpeted into a winter campaign, and informed us that the Turks were on the point of crossing the Danube and invad ing the Principalities. On the other hand, we are now told that the Russians are preparing bridges at Galacz for the passage of a Russian army over the Danube by the first of April. Unless the Russians make peace without trying a second campaign, we should not be surprized to hear of their passing the Danube in force by the first of March : FRONTIERS OF SERYIA, JAN. 6. Coraiderable reinforcements of troops have ar rived in the Turkish fortresses on the Danube. From a list of the rations which the commissaries have to furnish in each of these fortresses an esti mate of their reinforcements may be made. From this list which we have lying before us it appears that the garrison of Widdin consisted before of 13,000 foot, 4,000 horse, and 1,200 artillery. Since the Ist December rations have been distributed to 20,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 1,200 artillery. Nicopoli, properly an open town, with a citadel, had to 20th Nov., 6,000 foot, 1,000 horse, and 400 artillery. Orders were given to provide by the Ist December provisions and forage for 8,000 in fantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 4,000 artillery. Th ese troops were to come from Shumla, because the dif ficulty of providing for them at head-quarters daily increased, and therefore it became necessary to dis tribute them in more extended cantonments. Se mandia had on the 15th Nov. 4,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The infantry amounted on the Ist December to 6,000 men. At Rustschuk, up to Bth November, rations were provided for 16,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 200 artillery. Since the Bth December, there have been 92,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 2,500 artillery. These last rein forcements are said likewise to have come from the army about the Balkan. The amount of the garrison of Silistria is not mentioned in the list, because the supplies for that fortress come from the interior, whereas those for troops are said to be in pretty good condition, as far as that can be affirmed of Turkish troops, and to be impatient for _orders to commence offensive opera tions and pass the Danube, to gratify their love of plunder. Such measures, however, have been taken by the Russians in the Principalities, as to remove all Apprehensions of any considerable incursions into those provinces. (From the Nuremburg Courier.) FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, JAN. 2. At Gallacz pontoons are preparing for a bridge, whicb is to be ready for the passage of a Russian army over the Danube at Hirsowa, at the beginning of April. The Pacha of Silistria is gone, as we hear, to Rustahuck to inspect the fortifications, and to have them put in the most complete state a de fence. Some Polish officers of rank have arrived at Bucharest, the object of whose coming is not known, though it is still reported that Prince Con stantine gill come to Wallachia with a Polish army. 'Notices have been issued, fixing a time for the deli very of tenders for the maintenance of 6,500 sick, which will be left to the lowest bidder. Baron Sekellario has, according to contract, delivered in a short time 52,000 chetwerts of wheat for the Rus sian army, a proof that Wallachia is not so ex hausted as has been affirmed. The epidemic ditto', 'tiers seem to hare abated in consequence of the cold weather; at least the number of deaths latterly re ported is smaller. An article from Smyrna, says that the Emperor of RUSSIA has given an estate in the Crimea to JUSSUF PACHA, which produces the annual rent of 25,000 measures of corn, a gold sword, and a considerable sum of money. If the above be correct, how is it that we have the first intimation from the Turks ? New York Papers to the Ist of January, and Quebec Papers to the 25th December, have been received. The following are the only extracts worth giving : (From the Quebec Paper of the 24th December.) The weather during the latter part of last week has been extremely cold; the thermometer for several mornings was as low as 16 below zero; in the coun try, and in Cape Diamond it fell yesterday to 20. The supply of provisions to the markets are plentiful. The following Resolution passed the New York Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday : Resolved—That the New York Chamber of Com merce cannot concur in the views of the Philadel phia Chamber of Commerce contained in their Me morial to Congress, in favour of compulsatory ware housing and cash duties, and that they consider the system of credits in duties, which has stood the test of forty years' experience, to be less expensive and more convenient to the merchant, less burthensome to commerce and more economical to the Revenue, and better calculated to secure its collection than the substitutes which are proposed. Resolved—That the President transmit this Re solution to the President of the Philadelphia Cham ber of Commerce. A private Correspondent of the Times at Paris, in referring to the impatience of parties to see the Ministry complete by the Office for Foreign Affairs being filled up, observes, " that on Saturday the KrN G, after transacting business with the Keeper of the Seals, who is interim Minister for Foreign Affairs, announced to his Excellency that his intention was to confer the portsftuillc ofthc Foreign Department on Prince PoLIGNAc. The Minister was struck at the Royal declaration, and compelled to demonstrate that the introduction of M. de POLIGNAC into the Cabinet, in present circumstances, was impossible : he asked leave to retire to collect his ideas, and to mature the lodgment which his duty would lead him to give to his master, and which he would lay before him in a written memorial in the course of the evening. The memorial was accordingly drawn up and delivered. On the following day, M. de MARTIGNAC being sent for by the DAUPHIN, was asked, in rather a peevish tone, if the King could not make a Minister at his own pleasure ?' His Excellency, making a respectful obeisance, re plied, Yes, Sir, he can make nine at once.' This ingenious manner of announcing the con certed resignation of the Ministry made a deep impression on his Royal Highness. The council was thus thrown into a labyrinth." Yesterday was the anniversary of his Majesty's Accession to the Throne ; the Tower and Park guns fired a double Royal salute at one o'clock, and the Royal standard of England was displayed at several public edifices, and on some church steeples. FRENCH AND E%GLISH TRAVELLING.-- A recent French writer, describing the state of travelling in France and England, says—" In France the postillions are frequently drunk, always dirty, and the most coarse and intractable people in the world. In England the con trast is most striking : both men and cattle are always well dressed ; the drivers with white cravats, good jackets, and well-napped great-coats ; their horses harnessed as if for some grind ceremony. In France a postillion takes care, first of his own safety, and then of that of his horseo ; to him the safety of the traveller is a concern of anpereroga tion. In England the traveller commands the shiver—in France he obeys him." The department of the Var has not been exempt from these missions which have called at Nogent le Rotron for tke interference of the tribunals. In a vil lage railed Calas, not far from Dragninen, the chief of the mission led all the women to the bnrial-ground ; then he caused the earth to he dug until he had discovered a head, which he took np, and, showing it to the persons who sur_ rounded him, drew a dreadful picture of death and hell. The shades of night, which were approaching, added to this scene of terror. The women uttered sighs, sobs, and cries of agony. The mission try, with bare feet, a rope about his neck, and a large crucifix in hi. hand, made the circuit of the cemetery, sent forth sad lamentations, and crying for mercy for the sinners of Calm— Constitutiowneb The proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre p r id e theinmelves on having a Rplendid wardrobe, in which they do not, we presume, include their atilt in Chancery. MARCH OF EQUALITY.—The other day, t he " Boots•' of one of the first Inns in Manchester•, absented himself from the house the whole of one day. On his appearance the next morning, hie master gave him his discharge, upon which master Boots attempted to re monstrate with •him, bat " Mint Host" refused for some time to listen to him ; till at length, wearied with his im portunities, he said, " Well, what was the cause of your absence yesterday ?" " Why," said Boots, " Day and Martin's traveller was in town, and I was taking wine with him at the Palace Inn 1" ~ ~~ FROM LLOYD'S.

A General Meeting of the Subscribers of Lloyd's Coffee house took place this morning, in conformity to the usual notice, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Spe cial Committee on the subjet of the resignation of Mr. Gray, the Head blaster, and on other points connected with the Waiters, and their respective duties, salaries, &e. The Right Hon. the Loan MAYOR in the Chair. The business of the day having been opened by a vote of 50/. to the Coast Guard at Dingle, for their meritorious services in saying the lives of a number of mariners, ship- wrecked on that coast, having been confirmed unanimously, the report in question was read ; it recommended that Mr. Gray on signing a dissolution of partnership with the second Master, Mr. Bolton, should be allowed a stan of 200/. per annum, for life. That the salary of the first waiter (2500 should be done away with altogether, and the present waiters advanced, but remaining with their present salaries ; that the duties; of the master in tke sub seription-room and in the Captain's room separated for the frame, and the benefits of the latter confined to the pro , fits arising. from the sale of refreshments, Ike.. instead of receiving a salary, taking off the payment which was made from this quarter to another retired waiter ; that in con formity to the wad practice, the report recommends the oldest waiter, Mr. Joseph Spencer, to the sub scribers for the new Master of the Snbcription-room, and that the salary be 400/. per annum, subject to An ad •ance at the decease of the retired master, if it should be deemed proper to make such at a future time. On a mo tion that the report be adopted from the Ist January, 1829, some discussion arose whether the word adopt should be read or received ; at length the former resolution was ad hered to, and also it was agreed is print the report, together with the present bye laws Mr the government of the Sub scribers at a meeting , to he held on the 6th Feb. 1829, at which time any improvement might be made, if such should he deemed better fiat the general advantage and be nefit of the Subscribers. An increase to the salary of the second clerks in the Secretary's Office of 20/. was also re commended by the Committee, as well as the profits arising from the sale of newspapers, and the meeting ad journed till this day week. General Lord Mill held a levee yesterday, at the Horse Guards, which was attended by the following Generals, and about 40 other Officers :—General Hunter; Lieut.-Generals Monday, Dyott, Widdrington, Moore, Sir Joseph Fuller, Earl of Dalhousie, and Sir H.

The Earl of Winchelsea has sent a letter to the Mayor of Cork, thanking him for the Freedom of the City with which the Corporation had honoured him for his exertions on Pcnenden Heath. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.----A meeting took place this morning at seven o'clock, near the Red llonse, Battersea, betsveen Mr. Nathan, the celebrated composer, and P. Lepiper, Esq., C—n Office. The preliminaries being finished shots were exchanged, and the former re ceived a slight wound in the fleshy part of the right arm, after which matters Were adjusted by the interference of the seconds. The dispute arose through some strong per sonal allusions made on a lady of high rank and talent, whom both gentlemen had been in the habit of visiting. ROYAL LEARNINTO.—The King of Persia made many inquiries of Sir llarford Jones respecting Ame rica, saying, " What sort of a place is it ? flow do you get at it ? Is it underground or how r. we hare more than once heard of instances where people had met with such severe accidental nits aCrOl*li their fingers, as nearly to separate the one part from the other, with the exception of a perfect tack by which the two were held together, yet that when speedily applied to the parts from which they hail just been separated, they have completely adhered, anti been as useful fingers afterwards as any other. Ent till lately w e did not know that the Caine principle had ever been applied on the accidental loss of teeth. Yet tree it is that a young boy, the son of a respectable gentleman in Castle-Dongles, some time ago by chance got one of his front teeth knocked ont, and this tooth having been immediately replaced in its socket, very soon began to adhere, and is now as firm and usefnl a masticator as he has in his whole dental array. —Dumfries Journal. MILITARY CHARACTER OF THE lIINDOO. —Patience under suffering, composure, and even sung froid, within the jaws of death, are prominent charac teristics of the llindoo, sad ought indeed to put to shame those among their conquerors who, boasting higher attri butes of courage and virtue, pretend to look down upon tl•em with contempt. No one meets death with less ap parent dread than the Hindoo ; and when imbued with a sense of honour, as among the military casts, no one can display snore heroism. I have repeatedly seen them re fuse quarter, when the European would have courted mercy even in chains. Wherefore, then, are we always victorious in our contests with them ? It cannot proceed, in every instance, from superiority in the art of war, for bodies of troops must sometimes clash in such a way that discipline can avail neither party. The truth lies in this, that the courage of the Ilindon is of a passive nature, while that of the European is active ; the former being inert, has only its own weight to give it power, the latter has activi►y to increase its momentum.— Twelve Years' Military Adven ture: 0 L, FA I .) This morning another Petty Sessions was held al the workhouse, Little Gray's-Inn-lane, for the put , pose (as it was stated on the last occasion) of finally deciding the question between the parish o f St. Andrew's, Holborn, and the occupiers of chamber!! in Lincoln's-inn, respecting the liability of the latter to contribute towards the poor rates. At eleven o'clock the Magistrates, Mr. Purvis, Mr. Becket, Mr. Orme, Mr. Baker, and Captain Tomlinson, took their seats. Mr. TAYLort (the Vestry Clerk) said it was his duty to state to the Magistrates what state the'ne gociation relative to the question before them was now is :—The parish took out summonses for arrears of poor-rates, amounting to 12,0001. to which they were entitled; yet, to settle the business amicably, they offered to take :3,0901. if the Benchers, at their own expense, would go to Parliament, and'obtain an Act which would in future obviate any further diffi culties. The CHAIRMAN enquired if the Benchers had made any specific offer ? Mr. TAYLOR—None whatever; they tell us they have no offer to make. Mr. BLACKBURN, for himself, though not a Bencher, would agree to any thing they did, although he had no doubt they could contest the question against the parish with success, and finally a Court of Justice would declare them extra-parochial. After some further discussion, the Magistrates said they would adjourn to the 14th Feb., but posi tively they would not consent to any further ad journment. The room was crowded with barristers.

GENTEEL STYLE OF ROBBlNG.—Between Saturday night and Monday morning last, the counting house of Mr. William Fairelough, in Tablet'-street, was broken into. The thieves entered through the roof, and are supposed to have retin ned the same way, but without ' taking any thing. The iton chest appeared undisturbed, but most of the drawers, &c. hail been ransacked. The thieves seem to hare been of the genteeler sort, as they had the politeness to leave their card for Mr. Fairclough, in the form of an inscription on a piece of broken glass—" John Roberts' compliments." It is most probable the visiteri were boys, as the aperture in the ceiling is only ten inches by fourteen. Most of the offices in the neighbourhood have at different times been ransacked, and therefore no thing of value is ever left en the premises.--Liverpool Courier. •

ITALIAN OPERA-HOUSE. Common report, which has been exceedingly expressive of the praise it has lavished upon the vocal requisites of the Prima Donna, l'isastont, will, for once, we think, fall infinitely below thejust range of criticism i n an ti c i pa ti on . Ye, have had the good fortune to hear this inimitable voca lilts and have little fear or hesitation in pronouncing her to he one of the most exquisitely finished, as well as feeling aingera, that Europe, with its most comprehensive operatic stores, has now to boast of. AlonracELLx is also a singer of first-rate talent, possessing a sweet and extensive soprano voice, capable of much flexibility. Her style, likewise, is of the most unexceptionabl e character : she is, withal!, a very pretty woman, and reminds us very forcibly of Madame Rosin DR I3EG NIS. Signor Dolszettr—of this gentleman it is but rendering him scant praise to say, so fine, full, and melodious a trnar, has never yet Braced the hoards, from whence he will assuredly delight, 'and, at the same time, astonish his auditory. The proles 'l44l4 gentlemen present appeared to be deeply impressed 'with the superior excellence of these highly-gifted and ta lented individuals, and loudly and warmly evinced their feelings upon the interesting occasion, by long and vehement is/audits. With such splendid addition to the r‘tcoi corps of this theatre, it must be quite evident, we think, that the season will prove to be one of unprecedented brilliancy and success. At any rate, the selection made by kr. LAPORTE, for the gratification of the frequenters Kt this Temple of Apollo, is such as to do his two and judgment the greatest possible credit.-- The rehearsals are frequent, and of long duration, and have been conducted by the vigorous and highly talented professional musical director, Mr. BOCMsA, with lit t hat energy, quick apprehension, and scientific know ladgo that he is so well known to possess. It was with regret we found that Signor SPAONOI.E.TTI has been sud denly and severely indisposed; but Mr. l‘loss stepped for sward on the emergency, in the kindest manner, and has led several rehearsals during the veteran's lamented absence. We believe the theatre will certainly draw up its curtain for the season upon Saturday, the 31st, with the Opera of La Donna del Lago, of Rosso I. AILLODISTS' CLUB. FREE TRADE WITH INDIA. This Club having been completely re-organised, held its first meeting for the season on Thursday last. His Royal Highness the Duke of 511854 M-bas condescended to become its Patron and President, and several Noblemen arc among the V iec-Presidents. The attendance for the season was t'etuarkably good on Thursday. Mr. JERPAN presided, '''''lltorttxl by a host of musieal talent, several literary gen tiemen and many amateurs. Nine new members were emitted, and several new candidates were announced. Mr. 1 :: Cooke presided over the musical arrangements, and 411 r. Brahatn, Mr. Leet, Mr. Parry, Mr. Blewitt, and t Aer singers of eminence entertained the company. " The i ki ng, God bless him," was given in a d m i ra bl e sty l e b y 'ittham, and rapturously encored. Some very fine itistrn tnental music diversified the entertainments of the evening. The CHAIRMAN addressed the company an a variety of Pies with the happiest comic effect, and literally "kept t ' , e table in a roar." HORNOR, of the Colosseum (one of the new mein t'ers)s was present, and on his health being drunk, returned thanks. On the subject of the Colosseum, he stated that the undertaking, which fast approached completion, was the work of many years' intense study. Long since it struck him, that the view from the top of St. Paul's Ca thedral would be, if the whole could be enjoyed, the finest in the world. Could he depict all the objects visible thence, he felt that he should afford the public a treat .chich they could not otherwise enjoy. He adverted , t o the rumours which had been circulated to his pre judice, with respect to his connection with Rowland itephenson, and assured the Club that the very opposite of truth had been stated. lie had never owed Mr. Stephen son more than 2,0001., and property to a much larger RTII9LInt belonging to him had been constantly in the hands of the firm, and by the failure of the Bank, and the flight of Stephenson, he expected to lose no less a sum than 1 0,0001. The evening closed in perfect harmony. The Earl de Earl of Dalhousie (late Governor-General of the Canaries), Sir Sidney Beckwith, and Sir William Herries, transacted business yesterday, at the Colonial Office, Downing -street. The Earl of Macclesfield, the Earl of Aber &Ai, Lord Ell en h orough, and Lord Downes, visited the 'mike of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury. qovisieur Bermudez, the Spanish Minister, and Count d'Aglie, the !Sardinian Minister, had interviews ,yesterday' with the Earl of Aberdeen, at the office of the Secretaez of State for Foreign Affairs. Our sagacious and experienced Premier, who is abundantly wise in his generation," and quite eyed in in discovering the assailable points of peor c human natur e as of an enemy's position, is indefatigable in turning to advantage the opportunities that occur in the precious moments that immediately precede the meeting of Parlia ment, and every inducement is held out, in every quarter where recruits are supposed to he attainable, or trimmers likely to be regularly enlisted. To the veteran politicians, known in certain circles by the technical name of " Sece ders," and who, from long acquaintance with the substantial advantages of of are supposed to retain an unappeasable hankering after the " Flesh Pots of Egypt," significant hints are thrown out that the barriers that oppose their re torts to power are not insurmountable. To others, who have been marked as objects of displeasure in the highest quarter, it is observed that, although the " wrath of Princes !is a consuming fire," yet it may, like other fires, consume t "lf 1 and that nothing is wanting but a little mitigation io their opinions, to throw open the path to the highest hr mours of their respective professions, or to restore them the pride of place, which an over-ardent zeal had caused I t hem to forfeit.

He could not look upon this subject but in a very serious light. Ilemonvi had great satisfaction in re flecting on the cause which had brought the meeting tog-ether, since he considered that the opening of the trade would be attended with great and incalculable advantages both to this country and to our East India possessions. Mr. DAVID HODGSON—One further illuFtration of the evils of that system, as more immediately con nected with China (consequently not out of place here), I will venture to bring forward, because, Sir, it appears to me strikingly to demonstrate the stipe riolity cf free trade over monopoly. This illustra tion is afforded by a comparison of the growth and grogress of the American intercourse with China, as contrasted with that of the East India Company; and is so briefly and so clearly set forth in the space of one or two pages in an able report, printed last year by a body of our townsmen, the East India As sociation, that, with your permission, I will read a short extract :—" On the average of the first years of the American commerce, down to 1800, their an nual exportations of tea did not exceed 2,735,0901 b. On the average of the three first years of their re newed intercourse with China, after their last war with Great Britain, they exported 8,607,1731 b. yearly. On the average of the years 1824 and 1825, their exports had increased to 13,314,4491 b. The exports of the Americans from China, it will be seen by this, have increased in 25 years 387 per cent.. Those of the East India Company, in the same time, have increased only 23 per cent.; indeed, for the greater part of the time they have been stationary or retrograding. Excepting that to Great Britain and Canada, the East India Company have no trade from China to any other country whatsoever. The Americans carry on a trade from thence to the Continent of Europe, to South America, to the Philippine and Sandwich Islands, which, to the three last countries, is in creasing year after year ; so that the extent of it, at its Chinese valuation, amounted in 1825 to 229,505/. In the year 1805, the whole imports of the Ameri cans into China amounted to 740,795/. In 1825, they rose to 1,620,062/., and their exports being 1,823,44'21., made their whole Chinese trade 3,443,5041. The export trade of the East India Company, from Europe to China, has long been stationary. On the average of the six years ending with 1820, it amounted annually, at its Chinese valuation, to 1,491,173/.; their average yearly ex ports, from their Indian territories to China, in the same period, amounted, at the Chinese prices, to 368,5211., making their total imports into China 1,859,694/. Excluding, of course, remit tance of territorial revenue in merchandise, which is not trade, their exports from China may be taken at the same amount as the imports, which which will make their whole Chinese commerce, 3,719,388/. With a population of 22,700,000, and after an intercourse of 150 years' standing, our trade is but eight per cent. greater than that of the Americans—with less than half of our population— with not one-half of our taste for the great staple of Chinese export—and with so comparatively re cent a knowledge of the Chinese trade." In this excellent report there is much information, well de serving your attention ; but, at present, I will further only notice one fact, conclusive of the supe riority which the Americans must possess in extend ing their trade with China, and which is, that the tea imported by them is sold, in the markets of Europe and America, between 40 and 50 per cent, cheaper than that supplied to England by the East India Company. In short, it appears that, for a series of years, whilst American imported tea sold at an advance, on the first cost in China, of 48 per cent., the company were obtaining, through their monopoly, no less than 92 per cent. Mr. ROBERT BENSON spoke at considerable length on the monopoly which was unjustly enjoyed by the East India Company in the trade for tea, and read a document which had been forwarded to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer by some merchants in this town, requesting a licence to import tea from the Continent of Europe, and the answer of the Secre tary of the Chancellor, who referred them to a clause in the late act of Parliament, called the " Customs' Consolidation Act," which he (Mr. Benson) had not perceived before, and which enacted, that" tea could not., be imported into this country except from the place where grown, and then to be imported by the East India Company, and to be brought into the London Docks." He (Mr. Benson) thought they had better have tea from Hamburgh, if it would be permitted, than in the present way. Mr. BROCKLEBANK perfectly agreed with Mr. Benson in prefering tea to be imported into this country' rather than by the Company, though he would wish that they should have the privilege of importation from China direct in their own hands, Mr. SAMUEL HOPE rejoiced to find that the in habitants of this town bad roused themselves to a consideration of their own rights. Mr. A. HoncsoN said, that the restrictions im posed by the East India Company's monopoly were partial and oppressive. Mr. GLADSTONE called upon the meeting to come forward to aid the cause which they had in view, by subscriptions. Mr. CROPPER did not consider that there was any person in the kingdom, merchant, manufacturer, or labourer, who would not be benefitted by the opening of a free commerce with India. Colonel. WILLIAMS proceeded to show the inte rests they had to contend with were extremely pow erful, as they embraced not only that of the East India Company, but also that of the corrupt influ ence of the House of Commons, and which he con tended were indivisible. A vote of thanks was then moved to the Mayor, by Mr. William Myres, and seconded by Mr. Wil liam Rathbone, and his worship returned thanks for the honour done him, and stated that he would at all times be found at his post, and e►er ready to do all in his power to the benefit of his fellow townsmen. The following are the four first resolutions : " 1. That the opening of u free trade to China, and the removal of the restrictions which impede the commerce between this country and India, would be productive of in calulable benefits, both to this kingdom and to the British territories in the East Indies. That the extent of these benefits may in some degree be estimated, though very im perfectly, from the fact, that since 1814, the period when the present limited and partial intercourse with India was permitted, and notwithstanding the vexatious restrictions by which the British merchant has found himself impeded at every step, the commerce, in many staple commodities, has increased beyond the most sanguine expectation, while new sources of profitable interchange offer themselves to British skill and enterprise. " 2. That it appears from the official returns, that in the year 1814, there were exported to India 604,800 yards of printed calicoes, and 213,408 yards of plain cali coes; while in 1827, the export of printed calicoes was 14,362,551 yards, and of plain, 18,932,580 ; the increase in the export of plain calicoes, the description commonly worn by the natives, being 93 fold : that, of cotton twist, so late as 1823, the export to India was only 121,5C01b., while, in 1827, the export was 3,063,968 lb., and has since been progressively increasing. That in metals, hard 'ware, earthenware, and many other goods, an immense increase of our export has also taken place. That in the year 1819, the settlement of Singapore, at that time re sorted to chiefly by pirates, was taken possession of by the British Government, and made a free port ; and in 1827, its import trade amounted to 13,387,185 sicca rupees, with a corresponding export, thus showing the extensive benefits to be derived from a free commercial intercourse, and altogether affording a greatly increased and increasing field of employment for British shipping. " 3d. That motwithstauding this great increase in the demand for British manufactures, the present circum stances of the trade show clearly that a morbid and defec tive system of commercial policy alone prevents the further .and rapid growth of the trade between this country and India ; for while gold and silver were formerly exported, to purchase the products of the East, the demand for Bri tish manufactures, notwithstanding the gloomy predictions of the East India Company of the want of markets, has increased to such an extent as to be limited only by the insufficiency of the products of the country for the purpose of returns—an insufficiency which is caused by the levying of heavy transit duties on the intercourse with the interior, and by arbitrary restrictions on the settlement and resi dence of Englishmen ; as well as on the employment of British capital on the fertile, but neglected, soil!' of Din- dostan. " 4th. That•tlic cultivation of indigo indirect!) by Eu ropeans, (at present permitted on shtTeranee b}• the East India Company), has rapidly increased till the produce now arnotir , t% in value to rd oat two millions sterling per annum; affording the principal supply of ever• market of consumption in the world, and s-Lti-factorily proving the vast capabilities of the soil, if allowed to be called forth by adequate capital, skill, and enterpr•i•e." SALE OF MR. STEPHENSON'S HORSES AND CARRIAGES. The horses, carriages, and harness, belonging to Mr. Rowland Stephenson, were yesterday sold by auction, by Mr. Shuttlewurth, in the stable-yard of the Treasurer's residence, St. I3.irtholemew's Hos pital. The horses (seven in number) some of which were aged, brought a high price—upwards of 4001. —and the carriages sold for something beyond 350/. The latter were purchased, it was said, at a cheap rate. The chariot in which the fugitive and his clerk, accompanied by Mr. Wels!s, were conveyed to the coast, sold for J3G guineas. The description in the catalogue was, " a dark brown chariot, with brass mouldings, lined with drab, cushions, &c.; sword case, dickey behind, fore boot, drab fringed hammereloth, oil-skin cover, lamps, &c." It is nearly new, awd considered a very handsome carriage. The following are the exact sums for which the horses sold:— HORSES. Lot 1. A grey carriage horse, SRI. 2. Ditto, 56 guineas. 3. A grey mare, fit to carry a lady, 73 guineas. 4. A grey mare, 62 guineas. 5. A grey horse, 30/. 6. A brown mare, 46 guineas. 7. A brown cob, 40 guineas. __ The two first lots were sold to one person. The opposition was kept up smartly from the first bidding (being put up at 30/. each) until the hammer fell. CARRIAGES. Lot S. A yellow-bodied coach, picked out black, brats mouldings, lined with blue cloth, yellow morocco cuihions and squabs, blue hammer cloth fringed, and oil-skin cover, lamps, &c., 91 guineas. . . _ This carriage had been in usesereral years. Lot 9. The one described above, 136 guineas. 10. A yellow-bodied barouche, lined with blue, mo rocco squabs, driving box, sword case, wings, lamps, and two drag chains, 83 guineas. Lot 11. A yellow-bodied curricle, lined with blue, ser vant's dickey, &e., 15 guineas. Lot 12. A green chaise, 10i ditto. 13. A buggy, 201. 10s. The rest of the lots consisted of harness and clothing for the horses. The house was furnished in a splendid manner, the walls of the dining and drawing rooms were covered with pictures. Many persons, before the sale commenced, went to the windows to view the furniture. One of the domestics pointed out a portrait to the company, which he said was an ex cellent likeness of Mr. Rowland Stephenson. This picture was much noticed. The front windows looked into a garden, which is tastefully laid out, and in which are some fine trees and shrubs. The sale was well attended. Among the com pany were some gentlemen to whom Mr. Stephenson was personally known. There were several pick pockets there, but we did not hear whether they were successful. They, however, committed one dishonest act, accompanied with violence; one of the gang struck a gentleman over the mouth, ano ther hustled off his hat, whilst a third picked his pocket of a purse, but it contained, we understand, something less than a sovereign. The party, who are believed to be Jews, escaped. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

AWFUL,LY SUDDEN DIIATN.—As the Cham pion coach was stopping at Oxford on its way to London, on Saturday night last, the guard, ( Vaughan) while stat ing to a gentleman passenger that his trunk was perfectly safe, and in the act of pointing out its position on the roof, suddenly dropped down and. expired, though apparently in perfect health the moment before ! This appalling catas trophe is rendered more affecting from the circumstance of the poor fellow (who was a steady well-conducted man) having left a widow and four orphans (the youngest only four months old) totally unprovided for. A letter was sent to break the sad intelligence to the unfortunate woman who Was suddenly bereaved of her only support, but when she arrived at . Wycomb, some officious person incautiously apprized her of the full extentof her loss, which gave her such a shock, that her eyes became suddenly fixed, and she lost the power of utterance for several hours, and was carried in that state to Oxford, where her husband's body lay. As soon as Richard Costar, Esq. and Mrs. Gel lett, of the Angel Hotel, Oxford, were informed of this afflicting dispensation, and of the destitute condition of the widow and orphans, they commenced a subscription on their behalf, with the most prompt humanity, to which they contributed very handsomely themselves, and we have no doubt that their benevolent example will be quickly imi tated by the humane inhabitants of Oxford, to many of whom poor Vaughan was well known,--Cheitenham Chronicle..

But a single dance at our internal policy presents an object of sufficient interest to engross, and suffi cient perplexity to demand, the sedulous and undivided consideration of Ministers. NN'e may say, without fear of contradiction from any side, that the hopes of the nation are fixed in anxious suspence upon the course to be pursued with respect to the Catholic question. Emancipation is hailed by the one party as the harbinger of peace, and the extinguisher of religious and party feuds, while it is deprecated on the other as fatal to the Constitution. In short, however opposite the opinions of its expediency, none refuse to admit its paramount importance.-- .

Will it be pretended that the object of his Grace's visit was to soothe the unchristian enmity of the Turks and Russians, or to preach religious peace be tween the Greeks and Mussulmans? What could it be, again we ask with confidence, but to confer, as the first officer of the Church, with the prin cipal functionary of the State, upon a matter so nearly concerning the best interests of both ? We own that these reasons appear conclusive to our minds in warranting the very strong impres sion of the truth of our surmises ; and though the rumours of the same tenour which meet us at every turn have probably no other source than that which has given rise to dur own opinion, yet they serve so far to confirm its accuri,ey, as to prove that we are not singular in entertaining it, but that others have drawn the same conclu sions from the same premises as ourselves. We will venture, therefore, to assume that we are not deceived ; but that the Cabinet has been—and, for aught we know, is still—engaged in consi dering the great question of Catholic emancipa tion. What will be their decision ? Can any one doubt it ? Is the Duke of Wellington's - character such, that having once submitted his views to the consideration of his colleagues, and so far committed himself in their favour, he should consent to withdraw his own proposals, and to stultify himself by succumbing to any or dinary difficulties ? We have not so humble an opinion of his Grace's firmness, as to suspect him of wavering from a purpose gravely and honestly adopted. lie cannot have lightly re solved to consult his colleagues upon this ques tion, and, his course once chalked out, he is not the man to swerve from it, much less draw back, in compliment to prejudice, or from fear of oppo sition. His splendid military career ought at least to spare him the suspicion of such pusilla nimity ; and if we have not misapprehended the object which he has in view, or over-rated his perseverance in the pursuit of it, his Grace may.. rest well assured, that, splendid as that military career has been—unrivalled as it undoubtedly is,: in the brilliancy of its exploits, or the more solid glory of its results—he is about to ascend one • step yet higher in the temple of lame. The conqueror of all other nations' has left himself one, and but one, triumph to achieve—the peace and happiness of his own.—Times. As the Session of Parliament is now so near at hand, it is to be hoped that the Commission which has been so long sitting to consider the present state of the practice of the law, more especially us regards special pleading, will expe dite its labours, and report early enough in the Session, to allow some effective reformation to be adopted before the long vacation. That the practice of Special Pleading can long continue as it is at present is out of the question. A system of verbal and technical subtility—calcu lated not to promote but defeat justice—not to elucidate but embarrass legal questions —par takes too much of the dark ages of the law to be tolerated in these enlightened times. Such a system is continued solely for the benefit of the " craft" that practise it, and, in proportion as it brings gain to them, it is a grievance to the community at large. When suitors pleaded orally in Court, or when the pleadings were, to speak technically, ore tents, it was im poss►ble that the quibbling forms and su perfluous verbiage which now abound in pleadings, could have had any existence.— It is necessary that all legal proceedings should be carried on by certain defined and ap propriate forms—such forms arc requisite for the purpose of ensuring regularity and clearness. But simplicity is the parent of precision, and no ,ms can be conducive to clearness which are n..,t simple. Is it so with our mode of pleading at the present day ?—Quite the reverse. It is complicated and loaded with absurd fictions and useless verbiage to an extent that not only ob scures and encumbers the question to be de cided, but frequently shuts it out of view, and sinks the merits of the case in a wrangle about the pedantry of forms. All this, however, con tributes to swell out bills of costs, and make law a luxury. This is very well for those who sell the article, but the purchasers ought to t

Tn our remark.; on the case at the Wilts Quar ter Sessions, reported in the Devizes Ga z ette, which appeared in the Chronicle of Tuesday last, when noticing the practice of compelling a de fendant, before allowing him to have a trial, to ply the fees of the Clerk - of the Peace, chiding not only the expenee of ,I.stlmeloning a Jury, but the c!targes for re(icrding his verdict, and enterinT the s jurignient of the Court agaiii.ct hint, though, by a late Stdtute, the fees, paid by a prisoner win• !multi he lcquittvd are ordered to be paid by the county—we observed that this bare-'raced iniquity, practised in the county in question, was probably practised in every other county, with the conntrance of the Magistracy. w e h a v e since inquired of Barris ters whetiocr our conjecture was well-founded, and we find that it is the general practice for Clerks of the Peace to deny justice to all who will not comply with the above terms. That any Clerk of the Peace who has brains enough to be suffered to go * large should pref;ie throw. ing the charges on a defendant rather than on a prosecutor, will surprise no one. His object is a rich harvest, and the more is thrown on the defendant, the more eneouragemcnt is given to prosecute. and consequently the greater the amount of fees; for we shall hardly he accused of a veant of charity in strpposing that a prosecutor will seldom be discouraged from con4g forward by any fear of di!iLessingoa defend ant, and that he wouldhq tmos'lt more scru pulous in exposing . pecuniary sacrifices than in exposing hi4 . ..vitt , ,ponent. Moreover, the Clerk of the Pe!" 'without posse:-:sing any great stock of penetrati:an, could hardly fail to per ceive, that wer e a prosecutor to be called on to pny as high 'an amount of charges for every in dividual / :ie included in his indictment as if there were r;nly one indicted, this would operate as a st.7o;ug inducement to include as few persons as possible in an indictment ; whereas, by charging each of ten defendants as much as if only one were indicted, the prosecutor has en encourage ment to include as many as possible, both for purposes of annoyance and to deprive defendants of witnesses. The clerk's business is not justice; but sacking money ; and he would only be laughed at as a fool were he, in this knowing country, to diminish his income from an abstract love of justice. Neither do we blame clerks of the Peace for giving splendid dinners to the Ma gistrates, as au inducement to them to shut their eyes to the peculiarities of this beautiful inter pretation of the passage itt the Great Charter respecting the denial of justice—that passage which Sir Francis. Burdett pronounced to he alone worth all the discoveries of modern philo. sophers. The Clerk of the Peace could not, per haps, employ more judiciously a hundred or two of his five or six thousand a year than in reach ing Magistracy through that very sensible part of an Englishman, his stomach. But what we complain of is, that English gentlemen should be so lost to all honourable feeling as to look pTatiently on these abominations, year after year, to see the poor labourer . writhinr , .under the ex periments of an officer of their Court, passing between the torture of a protracted imprison ment—the prospect before him if tillable to pay the seven or eight pounds demanded from him— and the stripping himself of his all, and laying friends and relations under contributions to raise a sum of such magnitude to him. Whenever they hear of odious and iniquitous practices in any part of the world, before condemning them, let them bethink themselves of the uncontradicted declaration made by Mr. Holcomb in presence of the Wiltshire Magistrates, that a poor la bourer had before their faces been denied a trial, and taken back to prison, there to remain till the next Sessions, because he could not raise enough to satisfy the demands of the Clerk of the Peace. The men who connive at these do- ings, whose indignation does not boil over at I witnessing them, are not ready to do every thing only because every thing is not safe ; but, we protest, we do not believe there is any one thing which they would be withheld from do ing, if it could be done with impunity. These arc the dark spots in England. Corruption has pervaded every part of the mass. Wherever we turn, from the highest to the lowest, we find abuses of the grossest kind flourishing Without check or controul. Let one measure of justice be proposed, immediately thousands of interested corruptionists start up and exclaim, our rights are invaded. The question in England is not to re dress evils, but, for the sake of the corruptionists, themselves, to keep them within such bounds as to prevent their destroying the substance on . which they are fed. Our law reforms will ex tend thus far. Never,however,willjustice in Eng land be brought to every man's door, by the establishment of local courts. Never will the Unpaid be deprived of trafficking in licenses, under the pretext of preserving morals. Pallia tives are all that we can expect. One thing surprised and at the same time delighted us in the Wiltshire case. The operation of a recent statute of Mr. Peel has been more extensive than we could have imagined. Mr. Swayne, the Clerk of the Peace of Wiltshire, is re ported to have said, that "by a recent sta tute, which empowers Magistrates to dispose of assault case, nine-tentils of the fees he usually received were taken off." Bat the fees to the Clerk of the Peace are not the only relief which has been afforded to the poor by this excellent Act ; they have also been relieved from all the char attendant on summoning a Jury, &c. One 'grown, in a discussion with an other, reinforces his argument with a blow, the assailant and the assailed proceed at once to a Magistrate, and the whole affair is disposed of in a trice, to the satisfaction of both parties, and without the ruin of either. To bring such cases before a Jury, is a shameful waste of the time of men called on to leave their._ avocations to dis charge a serious duty. The seaspp for enabling Magistrates 'to dispose of such cases, summarily is obvious enough ; but how was Mr. Peel al lowed to make such an inroad on corruption ? We suppose that neither himself nor the inte rested parties ever anticipated such a momentous annihilation of fees as it has effected. Well may the Clerk of the Peace bite hard in the case of those poor devils who have the misfortune stillto come into his clutches !—Morning Chronicle.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 34 A N3lO N-HOtT6t. An instatwo of the welcome with which the oftimrs of ravishes in the city of London hail any oppertunity of getting ri,l of paupers, in any pos. sili!e way, occurred at the Justice-room yesterday, iwf.ite Alderman ANSLEY, who sat for the Lord Ma or. poor Irishwoman, with her female cl;9d% WTui is about seven or c4,41)t yeatt tAd, appeared at the Mansion-horse ) to lequet.t that the magistrate would eu.lrr.vtur to prevail upon the officers of a parish in which she had e.tablished a set lenient, to allow her some assistance for her child and herself. She had, she said, been in the habit of earts.'.nt a liveli hood by stllin!? oranges, !nit tar, ls broken in business. Fier busbottd itt.d abandoned her, and she had been cid to go almost naked to supply her daughter with food. The paric.h officer said, that as the woman had made a sotlement by servitude, the authorities hisd no objectum to take her into the workhottst but as for Ito daughter, they emdd uo nothing for her t she had u« c; , , , 0m nron them: Aldcrniakt Assttv—Why, surely yoti wobld Wet thini: of separating such a child frtm het• Mother ? The palish officer s•ild that the child Was mate, and they 'eotild tto nothing for her. ttolder (to the woman.)—Aro you not a ttuttrird woman ?—The pauper replied that she certainly was. - The. Parish Officer—But it was ,in Moorfields chapcl that she was married, and that marriage is not worth a farthing. It is illegal by the laws of England, Mr. Ilobler—lllegal ! She is bound to her hus band by as ties, tinti as religious ties too as your wift is to rot]. the Parish Officer—But it is not legal. NCR have nothing to do with the child. The father is an Irishman, and Ireland is her parish. We cannot take her in. She must be sent to Ireland. Alderman ANSLEY said that it would be dreadful to think of parting mother and child, particularly of parting thorn at so frightful a distance from each ether. Mr. Hobler—How do we know that there is any one to receive the child in Ireland. Where was she born ? The parish officer said, that she was born at sea. Mr. Hobler—Then how can you think of sending her to Ireland ? But, so that she is got rid of, I dare any it does not signify where she is sent. Well, you can give the poor woman and her child as much as it would cost the pariah to keep the former in the workhouse, 4s. 6d. per week. The parish officer said, the authorities could not afford to do so. They would take the woman alone into the workhouse and pass the child to Ireland, or they would allow 3s. a week to the former. Mr. Hobler did not know how to account for. so extraordinary a refusal. He thought it excessively uncharitable. Alderman ANSLEY endeavoured to persuade the officer to give the woman 6s. at once to set her up in business, and to prevail upon the authorities to allow her something more than 3s. a week for the support of herself and her child, until she should be able to obtain something by her industry. The pauper begged that, of all things, they would not separate her from her child, who had no other friend in the world. She would, she said, work from morning till night to give her bread, but she was now totally destitute of bread or of work. The parish officer, after having stood a hard bat tery from the worthy Alderman and - Mr. Hobler, with real official coolness and determination, at last poked out the Gs., and promised to represent the case and the recommendation to the above-men tioned authorities. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. ROE, the sitting magistrate at this office, was yesterday occupied for some time in the investiga- tion of the following case : Captain Bransford, an officer of the army, and a member of the Junior United Service Club, stated, that a short time ago he had been in the daily ex pectation of receiving a parcel from abroad, consist ing of a box of Havannah cigars, which was to have been addressed to him at the club-house, in Regent street, but the parcel never came to band, and it was wily very recently that he learned that the parcel! had actually been forwarded to him from Portsmouth about the very time that he expected it, and had been conveyed by coach to the Spread Eagle book ing -office, in Piccadilly ; and, further, that the porter at the Spread Eagle had, on the very night it ar rived, delivered the parcel as directed at the club house to one of the porters there, who paid him 4d. porterage, and took charge of the parcel, but ‘vho had never since given it to him (Captain Brans ford.) The porter, lybose name was William Davis, had, since that time, quitted the United Ser vice Club, and is at present a porter at the Verulam Club-house, in Lincoln's Inn-fields ; and on being questioned there respecting the parcel, he said that he had a perfect recollection of receiving the parcel in question from the spread Eagle poi ter; but:stated, first, that he delivered up the parcel again subse quently to a gentleman who drove tip in a gig to the club-house door, and showed a written order from Captain Bransford to receive it ; and at another time stated that a porter called for it, who said he came from the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, where Capt. Bransford wished to have it sent. Davis, the porter, attended at the office, and ad mitted- to the Magistrate, as already stated, that he received the parcel, but declared that he gave it away again to some person who applied for it in the name of Captain Bransford. The Magistrate asked him, did he not know very well that Captain Bransford, to whom the parcel was addressed, was a member of the club, and in the daily habit of attending there? and was it not his duty to deliver the parcel to that gentleman himself, rather than to any one else in his name ? The Magistrate also asked if the porter made any entry of havi►tg received the parcel in any book he kept, or if he had ever charged Captain Etransford with the 4d. porterage which he paid to the Spread Eagle porter ? Davis said that he did not keep any ac count of the kind, and he was himself the 4d. por terage out of pocket. Mr. ROE said, that was not very likely for a porter to submit to, and on the whole, although he could not, he was sorry, afford Captain Bransford any re dress, the transaction was far from creditable to the character of the porter Davis; and here the matter ended. GUILDHALL Yesterday Mrs. Sarah Tomhins, widow, of No. 8, Bromley's-buildings, Bread-street-hill, was brought before Sir P. LAURIE, charged with keeping what, in this age of liberalism, is called "a house ;" that is to say, an " unfortunate girl" manufactory, where young sinners are qualified for "the powdering-tub" and the gaol, and where old ones are finished up for the next world. A The Prosecution was instituted against Mrs. Tom kills by the; parish in which she resides; and the particular nature of her business haying been depo sed to, one of the witnesses (a char-woman) stated that she understood the house and the business be longed to a Mr. Moses; and- " You understand!" cried the solicitor for the defence, angrily interrupting her ; " what right have you to tell us what you understand? We don't want to hear what you understand; confine yourself to/acts, Madam, if you please." Sir P. LAURIE, however, being of opinion, pos. sibly, that facts might be brought to light by listen ing to what was only "understood," ordered the witness to go on. " When lam investigating any thing (said the Worthy Alderman) I like to .know all about it. Now, it is notorious that neatly the whole of these infamous houses are the property of Jews, and I should like to know who this Mr. Moses is." The solicitor threw down his pen in a pet, and the witness proceeded to state that Mr. Moses is a Jew, residing in the Tenter-ground, and that he and hie wife Oed to come and receive the t 8 profits ' of the business" from Mr. Tomkin.. By this statement, which was verified by some thing more than a mere understanding on the part of the witness, it appeared that Mrs. Tomkins was nothing more than Mr. Moses's cars paw, with which, as old Burton would say, " he rakes chest nuts out atilt devil's tire;" mid Sir Pethtt LAURIE asktd Vrliaher it was not possible to lay hold of Mr. Moses. The prosecutors said it was not ; and then Mrs. Tomkins was ordered to find bail for her appearance to answer an indictment at the .•••• • i " 91)! w'e Pr a 4ared Vvtll respectable bail !" Itie solicitor; and thereupon he called Mr. George Joel and Mr. John Davis. Mr. George Joel, a hoary-headed Israelite, in an swer to the questions put to him, said, " I am a Jew, and I lives at No. 22, Acorn -street, Bishops gate. I have been a furniture broker, and I comes here to oblige a friend. If I must tell who my vhy I must. It is Me. Levy. If I must tell vhat - he is, vhy I must. Hes a Sheriff's officer. I low can I tell if he's the ()Writ!' of any bad houses ? --because nnver ak'd hilt the question. I call him sty frieall because he's my customer. I sold him furniture—household stuff—many times; but I never ax'd him vhat he vhanted it for; nor I didn't care. If people buys goods of me, and pays me, 'chat do I vant to know about it after that ? I am north more as 201. after all my debts is paid, s'help me God." Here somebody repeated the name "Levy," and the solicitor for the defence, who is very deaf, called out to Foster, the Marshalman—" Hold your tongue, Mr. Foster l nobody asked you any ques tions. You are not giving evidence, and you have no right to speak. I heard what you slid, Sir ; and I tell you it is very irregular, and ought not to be tolerated in a Court of Justice !" " You could not hear me speak," replied the Marshalman, " because I have not spoken ; but if you want to know who Mr. Levy is, I can tell you he is a sheriff's officer, and the owner of a u►tmber of brothels." " Really this is too bad !" exclaimed the agitated solicitor ; while every body else laughed in such a way as showed they thought it very good. Mr. John Davis, the other "respectable bail," described himself as "a travelling confectioner," living at No. 41, Charlotte-street, Whitechapel ; and when asked whether he would be worth SOL after all his debts were paid, he replied, " Yes— forty !" " Of what does your property consist ?" demanded the Alderman. " Of my stock in trade—my horse and cart, and lounges, and lollipops, and all them ere kind of things ;" replied Mr. John Davis. " And do you come here to oblige a friend ?" asked the Alderman. : I come to oblige—Mr. Levy," replied Mr. John Davis. " Why, then, I shall require twenty-four hours to inquire into the respectability of your bail, Mr. So licitor," sKid the Alderman ; and in the mean time Widow Tomkins was sent to prison. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 29. REX V. RICHARD FITZHARDING JENNER. Mr. TAUNTON proceeded to show cause against the rule which had been obtained in this case, call ing on the defendant to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for par tial and corrupt conduct, in convicting and impri soning a person of the name of Dash. The defend ant was a Magistrate of the county of Gloucester; and the circumstances under which this application was made against him were these :—A decree was made by the Master of the Rolls in 1652, by which it was arranged that the Lord of a certain manor in Gloueestershire should take five hundred acres of a common in that county to himself, the rest of the common being left open to the freeholders to take fern and hushes therefrom, except such as surrounded young trees--•where the bushes, &c., were to be left to protect the trees from the bite of cattle; and it was stated that the freeholders had exercised the right to take such hushes, &c. as far back as the time of memory. The manor had come into the hands of Colonel Berkeley, and they stated that he had brought an action against a freeholder for exer-' c sing his right, and that a verdict had passed for the defendant. Their allegation was, that the free holders had a right to take holly and hazle, and a sort of wood which was not timber. Mr. Dash, the person iii whose name the rule had been obtained, bad, by the authority of a man of the name of Long, a freeholder, gone to the ground, and taken a quantity of bushes and also a stick of holly, with some hazle and thorn, and it was said that this had been done in the presence of a person of the name of Williams, a gamekeeper of Colonel Berkeley. 'I he holly stick was from eighteen to twenty feet high, and from sixteen to eighteen inches in girth; but they said they had a right to take it, because it was not timber. Colonel Berkeley, they said, was very anxious to preserve his bushes, for the sake of protecting the game ; and they set forth that the defendant, Mr. Jenner, was himself a great sportsman, and was in the habit of shooting along with Colonel Berkeley, and was also anxious to preserve the game on this common. Dash was brought before Mr. Jenner, and ordered to pay one shilling and sixpence for the holly tree, and fined thirteen shillings, with costs, amounting, in all to 1/. Is. 6d. It was also stated by theta that Mr. Jenner conducted himself in an unwarrantable man lier •to Dash. Thii, however, was denied by the affidavits of several persona present. Mr. Jenner convicted him, but informed him that he might ap peal. Dash then went out to consult with his friends, and afterwards returned and said he would go to prison. Mr .13/totionlm and Mr. CAMPBELL followed on the same side. Sir • J. SCARLETT supported the rule, which, how ever, was discharged, with costs to be paid by the Magistrate. HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. CADIPBELL moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of Habeas Corpus should not issue to restore a wife and child to the husband and-father. He made this application on the part of a Mi. Wil son, now practising as an attorney, who, in 1822, had married a lady with the consent of her father, and with whom he had lived very happily till the year 1826, when he fell into embarrassed circun►- stances, and his wife and child went to reside at the house of his brother-in-law. Mr. Wilson had now commenced practice as an attorney, and had a house ready for the reception of his wife, and had gone twice to the house of his brother-in-lan•, from whom he lived at 100 miles' distance, and de manded his wife and child ; hut the brother-in law refused to allow him to have any intercourse with' them. _ Lord TEMTHRDEN—Take a rule to shoe cause. JUDGMENT.—APOTHECARIBS' ACT. Mr. F. WILLIAM called for the judgment of the Court on a young man of the name of Clements, who had been convicted of forging a certificate of his having served a five years' apprenticeship ac cording to the terms of the Apothecaries' Act, with a view to deceive the Examiners of the Apothe caries' Company. By the Act of the 55th Geo. 111. cap. 194, it was enacted, that no one should be admitted to practise as an apothecary without having served an apprenticeship of five years to an apothecary. An affidavit of the defendant's was read, in which lie admitted his having been guilty of the offence, and the propriety of the prosecution by the Apothe caries' Company. Mr. F. WILLIAMS addressed the Court in miti- gatiOn. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the prosecution, said, if this had been the only case of the kind the Apo thecaries' Company would be far from wishirg to press for any thing like a severe punishment ; but it was an offence of which others were guilty, and they hoped that the Court would pass such a sentence, a; would hare the effect of deterring othefs troth committing a similar offence. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the sentence of the Court wa ,, , that the defendant be imprisoned in eliester gaol, in the county of Somerset, for six calendar months; and that in the mean time he be committed to the custody of the Marshal, in exe 6ition or the sentence. JUDGMENT.- , -RF.X U. HENRY HALPIN: The defendant in this case; who had been Con , victed,. at the Msizes at Gloucester; of a libel on 'Voting Griffith. the proprietor of the Chelten ham Chronicle, was again brought up for judgment. The case had stood over in order to allow Mr. Cur wood an opportunity of conversing with the de fendant, for the purpose of inducing him to adopt a different mode of shaping his affidavits from that to which be had before had recourse. Mr. CUItWOOD now again contended that the affidavit of the defendant, asserting the truth of the circumstances stated in the libel, should be received mitigation. Mr. Justice BAILEY then pronounced the judgment of the Conn On the defendant, When a party was brought up for judgment for a libel, if he InAisted that at the time when he published the libel he had good reason to believe and really did sincerely be lieve that the charges were true, that was a species of mitigation; but the account which the defendant gave in his affidavit did not at all apply to the species of mitigation which he had mentioned. Though it were true that the prosecutor had mis conducted himself to him (the defendant), that af forded no reason whatever for his imputing to the prosecutor the crime of which lie had accused him in that libel. What he might have stated in miti gation was this—he might have stated, if he could, that at the time when he wrote the libel he sincerely believed the main fact to be true. But instead of that, what he said was, that he had heard some of the particulars which he stated in the libel from a man who was NOW dead, which was not a mitiga tion but an aggravation' of the offence. The sen tence of the Court was, that the defendant should be' imprisoned in the gaol of North Leech, in the county of Gloucester, for one year; and that after the expiration of that period ho should find security for his good behaviour for three years--himself to be bound in 2001. and two securities in 1001. each, and that he be further imprisoned until he should find such security; and that in the mean time he be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of this Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J. 29. GEORUE V. JACKSON. This was an action brought by Mr. Edward Wright George, an attorney, against the defendant, who resides in Yorkshire, to recover a sum of money for the maintenance of the defendant's son, and also for money paid for medicines and medical attendance on his account. H. S. George was a surgeon, and brother to the plaintiff. Ile recollected young Jackson's illness last year. He laboured under typhus fever, and was seriously ill for five or six weeks; during all that period he required constant medical attention. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Come, now, we have not yet heard who this young Mr. Jackson is. Tell us who and what he is ? He is a great hopper.-- (Laughter.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.---A great what ? Mr. Serjeant CROSS--Not a hop-merchant, my Lord; but a great hopper and runner. Witness--Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--And your brother, I be lieve, is on the turf ? Yes, a little. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.--And the young man hops on the turf ? (Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Young Jackson was matched, was he nut, against another Yorkshire runner, of the name of Greig, for 3001. aside ? He was. Mr. Serjeant CROSS--Your brother was training him, I believe, at the time he fell ill ? He was. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—Now, Sir, was it not de termined that it was to be " a done thing ? (A laugh.) I understood so : in fact, it was deter mined that it should be a decided " cross." (In creased laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—That is, it was deeided beforehand that the match was to be lost ? Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And Jackson was to be the loser ? Yes. ( Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—Now, Sir, upon your oath, did not the plaintiff apply to you to put a blister upon Jackson's knee, to afford him an excuse for losing the race ? (Great laughter.) He did. The LORD CHIEF JosTicc--That was to enable him to lose the race without losing his honour. (Laughter.) I was asked: to put applications of some description to his knees to produce inflamma tion; but I declined to do so, and told them that it would be discovered. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And were you not also asked to administer emetics for the same purpose ? I was spoken to about giving him a pill. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—To act as an emetic ? Yes, I believe so. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And to be forthcoming on the course? (Renewed laughter.) I suppose so. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Not to accelerate his motion, then ?—(Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CRoss —I fear not, my Lord. But I refused to do any thing of the kind. The LORD CHIFF JUSTICE—YOU did very right, Sir. Mr. Serjeant CROSS --Your brother would have made a handsome sum by betting against Jackson, would he not ? If the thing had gone off right as it was arranged, he expected, 1 believe, to clear SOU or 9001. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—That is, if Jackson con trived to lose according to arrangement ? Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--I believe the man who backs a runner, like a man who keeps racers, always pays for the training. So I understand. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Now just tell us the course observed towards this man while training. He was fed en toasted bread and sherry, and took many other things. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—And this course was adopted to get him into a condition to lose ? such was the object. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--You gave the young man a great quantity of salts, did you not ? No, I gave him none; but I understand he was given a great quantity : young Jackson told me se. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Now, have you any doubt that this kind of training it was which brought on the typhus fever P I think the training, coupled with anxiety of mind, did bring on typhus fever. • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE here put it to his bro ther Wilde, if he thought, he could go on with this case ? Mr. Serjeant WILDE said, he would submit to be nonsuited. Mr. Seijeant CROSS stated, that the plaintiff charged for this young man's board at the rate of 6001. a-year, besides the other expenses. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed a hope, that after this exposure no gentleman of character or ho nour would ever lay a wager on matches of this description, as they might be perfectly certain of being cheated.--Plaintiff nonsuited. ARAB WoNtEN.—The Arab women on the banks of the Nile add to delicacy of form and natural cle • gene's, a striking simplicity of dress. The poorest wear nothing but a long blue ehemisn, with a veil of the same colour—one collier of which veil they hold in their months, when they meet any men, especially Europeans. A large mask of tack taffeta covers the faces of the richer females, leaving nothing to he seen but the eyes and the forehead.— Ear-rings, several necklaces of shells or paste, intermingled with ;mulcts of silver or of polished copper, bracelets va rious and multiplied : the shin, the hands, and a part of the arms, tatoocd with blue, the eye-lashes tinged with black ; such are the particulars which Complete the dress of an Arab female, and which, notwithstanding their appa rent fintasticllness, produce an original and graceful ensemble.

Letters have been received from the Island of Terceira, of the 9th inst., which announce the arrival of a part of the Portuguese Refugees at that Island from Ply mouth. The Island has now here 8,000 men will armed and disciplined, with provisions for eighteen months, and animated with the best spirit to the Constitutional system. The Is zahella, 13razillian frigate was cruising in the neigh bourhood of the Island, and no force that Don Miguel can send against Terceira will now have any effect. It does not appear that any British ship offered any molestation to the troops landing. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF NOATHUIII• BERLAND.-In a London Paper of Saturday, appeared the following paragraph :—" The Dake of Northumber land, the Lord " Lieutenant of Ireland, is gone back to Alnwick Castle, for the purpose of bringing his family to London immediately. His Grace will kiss bands next week." It is probable from this statement, and the cir cumstance we are about to mention, that the Noble Duke left London late on Friday afternoon. At four o'clock en Sunday morning, his Grace, in his travelling chariot and four, reached Ferrybridge (fifteen miles this side Don caster), having posted downwards from town during the night; and after changing horses, proceeded on his route northward. Unfortunately, however, when arrived at Hookmoor, between Ferrybridge and Aberford, but nearer the latter place, esther owing to the postillions mistaking the centre of the highway in consequence of the snow, or owing to the slipperiness of the footing and the convexity of the road, the Duke of Northumberland's carriage reeled for some pace., and in spite of all the efforts to avert the catastrophe, at last fell over on one side. His Grace, who was unattended, except by a single servant, we regret to mention, received a slight hart on the shoulder by this accident, bet considering the nature of the upset, and the serious damage done to the chariot, he may be said to hare very providentially escaped. It was then about five o'clock, w. m. and as the frost was intense, the unpleasant situation of the Noble Duke, par ticularly after his night's fatigue, may be easily imagined• But the exertions of the post-boys and his Grace's valet, together with some casual assistance which happened to become available, enabled the whole party to resume heir journey in a short time. The Duke of Northumberlfind accordingly reachod the Crown Inn, Boroughbridg., for breakfast, where the landlord, Mr. Stott, administered every possible comfort to his Noble Gnest, and had the parmels of the chariot, &e., put in such a state of repairs as would enable hi■ Grace to enjoy his travelling equipage in safety for the rest of the way to Alnwick Castle.—Leeds SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Secretary PEEL and L or d n o ucu bad interviews with th;- Duk e of wELLyi“IToN yesterday, at the Treasury. hr. L ENDO . Mr..HILL opened •the pleadings. This was an action of slander, to which the defendant pleaded " Not Guilty." Mr. Edward Pritchard—l am clerk to the plain tiff; he practises as an attorney in the Court - of King's Benda, and in the Court of Chancery ; I 'know the defendant; he was formerly a client of the Pleintiff's; he continued so till 1827; he was also an intimateiriead of the plaintiff's; there was some difference between them about that time; in June, 1828, an order was obtained by the defendant to ; tax the plaintiff's bill of costs ; there were many • meetings under this order before Me. Goodrich, one of the Deputy Masters of the King's Bench. On the 7th July we attended at the Master's Office; he came out immediately before us into the - King's Bench-walk, in the Temple ; he (defendant) turned round and said, " You are a thing, and no man, and a mere apology for a man," and immediately added, "I do not follow other men's wives." The plaintiff made no reply, but passed on.. I begged him to take no Notice. On the 7th of Nov. .we again attended at the Master's Office ; the plaintiff, defend ant, andWeCarlou, defendant's attorney, were there. eonsidetable bundle of affidavits was produced by the plaintiff.. As soon as he had stated what the affidavits were, the defendant replied, " I'll prove some of those affidavits to be false." The plaintiff said, " Take care what you swear." Defendant said, " If I had committed as many perjuries as you have, I ought to have been hanged; you have com mitted perjuries enough—you ought to have been hanged long ago ;" and he added, " He is keeping a woman—he has put that woman into a shop, and . is robbing tradespeople to supply her with goods;" and, addressing the plaintiff, he said, " You are a nice character—l once saw you strike out and alter a deed of Ritchie's, after it had been executed." On the affidavit of a female named Harkey being produced, he said, " That is the affidavit of the woman he keeps." Mr. Serjeant ADAMS said there were two motiv.s which induced parties in general to bring actions of this sort. The first was that high feeling which an honourable man entertained, and which would not allow him to exist quietly under imputations' un justly cast upon his charactee; the second was that feeling of anger and vindictiveness which made a man wish to revenge on the pocket of another those expressions which that person might have tittered in a moment of warmth. These were the two motives that influenced common parties. But there was a third which had often great weight with some attorneys; that was, a wish to obtain costs. Whether the plaintiff was not influenced by the latter motive in the present instance, the Jury would say, when they recollected that he was his own attorney, and that his own clerks, whose attendance he could have commanded at any place, and at any hour he chose, had been subpoenaed like other witnesses, as if, like other witnesses they could not be brought here but by • the authority of the Court. The plaintiff drew out Lis own briefs-his clerks drew out the proofs—he con duCted the case on his own behalf—and then, in order to . screw the last farthing from this ardor tunate defendant, he tummoncd twelve special jury men of the city of London to decide this trumpery case. He (Mr. Serjeant Adams) should like to know if the Jury had seen the Robber's Wife, which had recently been brought out at Covent-garden Theatre ? • If they had not, he would tell them something of it; and they would, he was sure, agree with him, that some of the scenes in that piece were an exact counterpart to this action. He was fortu nate enough to have been present. the other evening at its representation. There was in that piece a pettifogging attorney, called Penpuddle—(a laugh) —who was attacked as this plaintiff had been by a client that was dissatisfied with him, and curious enough the actor who represented the enraged client was that excellent comedian Fawcett. In a great rage at the mismanagement of his business, Fawcett (the respectable actor, not the attorney) came on the stage, and thundered forth his anger upon the attorney, who on that occasion was repre sented by Blanchard ; with Blanchard's merits the Jury were no doubt fully acquainted, and he could assure them that on this occasionßlanchard was more than usually excellent. When attacked by his enraged client, he looked exactly as the wit ness said this plaintiff had been called " a thing, and no man—a mere apology for a man."—(Loud laugh ter.)—Like this plaintiff, he wanted his clerks to write down what was said; he bawled for theta some time in vain. At length, however, a clerk, Larry O'Gig, played admirably by Mr. Power, came on the stage, and was ordered to write down all the words; bur, unfortunately, through his Irish blundering, he forgot everything that was said, and the poor attorney ran .off the stage, exclaiming in most piteous tones, " oh, what an action I have lost."—(Continued laughter.)—Just so was the conduct of this plaintiff—he had not, indeed, to call clerks, for they were with him; but, like attorney Penpuddlc, he no sooner heard the words, than he called out to his clerk, " write me down an ass," — (Laughter,)—and an ass accordingly he was written down.—(Much laughter.)—But then Ire thought one would not do, so he called on the other to write him down an ass too; " that I will," said the other—so down he wrote it. 'I o be sure this was a month afterwards ; but that made little difference; ire had his wish, and ire was twice written down ant ass, and now the clerks came to prove him one.—(Continued laughter.)— What did the Jury think of this action ? Were they not convinced that it was a trumpery case ? If not, why was not the Master called as a witness ? Why did not the plaintiff put into the box that gentleman whose gooil opinion he affected to be so anxious to retain ? lie was sorry he could not, by law, ask them for a verdict ; but, on the point of damages, he would tell them a story which would give what he thought to be the true measure of damages in this case—a measure which he trusted the jury would adopt. There was once a parrot which one person wished to buy from another, but they could riot agree about the price. The parrot had been taught to say a number of different things, and the parties at last agreed that they would listen to the parrot, and that the first sum it called should be taken as the price. The seller hoped it would call out the largest sum it had been. taught to speak, and the buyer hoped it would give the smallest. They waited for some time in anxious expectation, and at last the parrot screamed out " Give the rogue a groat."—(Much laughter.) —H e said the same thing of the plaintiff. The Jury retired for about an lama, and then re turned a verdict for the plaintiff.

On Tuesday, flit k m Steer, a young man of re spectable appearance, was placed at the bar of the Worship-street Police Office, before Wm. BENETT, Esq., charged with attempting to strangle his wife, Marie. Steer, by hanging her up by the neck wit)] a rope. The unfortunate young woman, who appeared to be about twenty-five years of age, stated she had been married to the prisoner about five years, but has had no family. 0:1 Sunday afternoon last, about half-past four o'clock, she Was with her husband in the sitting-room, on the first-floor, she had occasion to go up stairs into her bed-room, and her husband followed her; when she got to the top of the stairs a clothes basket, which hung on a hook in the wall, fell down ; she turned her head round, and suddenly found a rose, which was tied to the hook, round her neck ; she fell oil the stairs, and clung to the rope with her hands. her husband vas behind her, and pulling her legs; instantly the hook came out of the wall which the rope was fastened to, and she fell down. She immediately ran down stairs, and went out at the front door. Her husband followed her, and said he only did it to frighten her. She went into her next door neighbour's house, and returned by the back door, accompanied by her neighbour, into her own house. She went up stairs, and called to her husband, who did not answer—he had gone to bed; she rook her bonnet and cloak and went to her husband's father, in Portsmouth -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, soon afterwards her husband followed her, and at twelve o'clock at n'ght.they returned home together; she being fearful something might hap pen, told him she should speak to the watchman to protect her; he said, " I don't wish to hurt you, Maria; take the key, and go.and sleep by yourself." Yesterday morning she got up and went to her hus band's father, and remained there till this morning. Mr. BENETT—Do you feel sore, or have you re ceived any injury from the rope ? \Vitness—f am scratched, but I believe I did it myself in catching hold of the rope—l have a bruise on my neck. Mr. BENETT (to the prisoner's father)—Has your son any legal adviser here? Prisoner's father—No, Sir. Mr. BENETT—I would advise you to provide him with one, for he stands in a dangerous situation ; at present I can take no other view of it than that which affects his life. Ths prisoner's ife here burst into tears, and ex ellimcd—" Oh ! God forbid ; don't hang him, don't hang him." Mr. BENETT—Have you ever been in the habit of quarrelling with him ? Witness—No, Sir. He has frequently said he don't like me, and never gave any reason for it. Mr. BENETT—Do you really think he meant to strangle you ?. Witness (very much dis , ressed)—l don't know; I don't think he meant to kill me. Pray dont't hang him. Mr. BENETT—Has he ever left you ? . . Witness—Yes, Sir ; about a year ago he left ire for nearly eight months, without saying a worl to me; he was always a very kind husband and a very sober man. Waters, an officer, here produced the rope, with a noose it, which he found concealed in a cupbond in the prisoner's house. Mr. BENeTT (to the prisoner)—l shall not ask you any questions, and I advise you to reserve your defence until the next examination. I shall there fore remand you until Thursday next, to give you an opportunity of obtaining professional assistance, and which I recommend you to get, as you are in a most dangerous situation. The prisoner, who is a hair-dresser, residing in Crown-street, Finsbury-square, appeared very much agitated during the examination. We are happy to understand, that the Go vernors of Gonnotes Hospital have entered into contracts for the additional buildings to that Institution, which, when completed, will afford accommodation for a con siderably greater number of the sons and grandsons of Borgevies. This work, a , ong; with the Harbour and Polize improvements, will also have the good effect of giving employment to a number of workmen, during the ensuing year.—Aberdeen Observer. EXTRAORDINARY FACT.-A young woman was received into the Hull workhouse, about two years ago, who was labouring at the time under a severe com plaint, attended with a considerable degree of internal pain. As she did not recover, she was at length removed to the residence of her friends at Barrow, Lincolnshire, with a weekly allowance from the governor and guardians of tl e poor of Hull. About a fortnight ago she went to that place, and proceeding to the persons from whom the allow ance was received, thanked them for their kindness ; stat ing-, at the same time, that she was now nearly well, having vomited a large newt, which had, no doubt, been the moving cause of her complaint !

One of us a ill step and leave this at the Castle. What we want you will not miss. You have much more than you ever can want, while others have not the necessaries of life." The Governor, who is very aged and infirm, was naturally much alarmed at this strange and myste rious communication, but he at once deterinitied to show it to his friends, by whom he was advised to deposit a checque for 50/. in the spot rintcd °tit the letter, and he did so at the hour meiit:oned Lv the anonymous writer, having previon,ly pLeed two of his household within view of the seat to watch for the coming of the expected visitor. It so hap pened, however, that the General had scate,-ly re turned to the Castle, after depositing the parcel, when a labourer passing by, saw it, and to k it up ; and like an honest fellow conveyed it to Cast'e, where he gave it to one of the servants, wi..o took it to the Governor, and thus for that day the plan for the detection of the writer of the letter was foil. d. The servants placed on the watch saw, soon after the labourer took up the parcel, a lady apprnach the seat and look at it, and even underneath it; but she was well known to them as an occasioned visitor at the Castle, and suspicion aid nor, t:f course, attach itself to her for a single moment. On the following day a second letter w'as dropped in the hall, of which the following is a copy : _ . dovernor Penn,—You have f.,rfeitra your honour_ Your blood must be spilt; and that within thric days, un less you comply. Upon the receipt of this an application was made to George Murray, Esq., a resident Magistrate,- aed the - matter becoming generally known, a publ.c meeting was called of the inhabitants of the island at the principal church, and a resolution passed for publishing hand-bills, offering a reward of 1001. for the discovery of the author of the letters. At the same meeting it was resolved that an officer should be sent for from Bow -street, and on application to Sir Richard Birnie; Gardiner was sent down. In the mean time, suspicion had fallen upon the lady who was seen by the servants to approach the seat and examine it so narrowly on the 28th November, and she had undergone an examination before Mr. Murray, but was permitted to go at large on the un dertaking of a gentleman, of whom she rented a cottage which she occupied, for her appearance et' a future day if necessary. Gardiner, on his arrival, looked at the letters, and saw that they were writ ten in a feigned hand, and from a certain character in the writing, he felt convinced that they were the production of a female. The letters were written with remarkably deep-coloured ink, and on very tine paper. Gardiner, from a variety of circum stances, was induced to advise the re-apprehension of the female alluded to; and he also searched the house, and there found some Indian ink, some of 'which had been mixed for writing, and also a quaetitv of fine writing-paper, which bore the same N ater marks.of the name of the maker, and the date of its manufacture, as that upon which the threatening letters were written. On another examination, Gar (liner produced these articles, and declared his firm conviction that the female accused was the guilty party. She was then allowed, at her own request, to retire for a short time in ens•ody, and, during her absence, she confessed to the officer that site was the author of the letters, and said she would throw herself on the mercy of the Governor. Thii eolifession wan received by the Governor and the Magistrate, and by all who heard it, with perfect astonishment. On being asked what could have induced her to act in such a manner, she said distress was the cause. She added, that her circumstances had been in a very re duced state for some time, and that her finances were completely exhausted, when she made up her mind to adopt that extraordinary course. The Go vernor, on this ample confession, humanely consented to withdraw from a prosecution, on condition that she would leave the island immediately. The con duct of this person is the more singular, as she was considered to be in good circumstances, and so much was she respected that a direct application for pectt niary assistance to the Governor, or to any wealthy inhabitant of the island, would have been at once an swered by compliance in the most liberal manner. The female is about 35 years of age, personally at tractive, and what is called accomplished. COTTON MARKET.—The de7aand for cotton has been extremely limited since 11.; last. Some holJers having shown an anxiety to a'..11, prices, wit', the excep tion of those of Sea Island, remained firm, declined about II per pound. 'the sales, front Friday to Friday reached only 44.00. bags ; on Saturday alone they ainouwed to 1,590. Liverpool Albion. STATE OF TRADE AT BOLTON.--The demand for counterpanes, which has existed foe some tim ~ we aro happy to say, still continues t.eady ; but with the exception of thes e fabrics, and the narrow tape st:ips for printing, very little busitlut is doing.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messages. des Giambres of Monday.) (SECOND EDITION.) PARIS, DEG. 11.—Yesteyday, after the reception at the Palace, M. de Bourmont had a conference of three quarter, of an hour with his Highness the Dauphin. Tile little Council, of the Canton of Zurich has just decreed that no person not a native of Switzer land shall be henceforth admitted into any of the companies in the service of France. In consequence it .huts rendered the Captains responsible for the in 14actions which may be committed in this respect. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.) 'PARIS, DEC. 14.—The Neapolitan journals an nounce that M. de Ribeaupierre, sailed from Naples on the 26th of November for Constantinople, on board the Princess Eliza, a Russian frigate. Yesterday, at noon, Te Delon was performed in the Greek chapel of the Russian Legation, for the re-establishment of the health of the Emperor Nicholas. The number of Russians at this moment at Paris, and who were all present, was considerable.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Cater, a man who keeps a fruit stall in Sr. Bartholomew-lane, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen a package of French plums, in the warehouse of Messrs. Levy and Sdmon, fruiterers, in Botolph-lane. The pri soner was committed to Newtrate for trial. A gentleman called at the Justice-room to in quire whether any intelligence had been, in the couNe of the day, received relative to the stage coach-driver, whose brutal conduct to an old gentle man in a pony-chaise, on London-bridge, had been described in the Papers of the day. He had wit nessed the scene, which was one of great outrage, and he was most anxious to give evidence, if the driver could he found. Mr. Smallpiece, of Fish street-hill, was the gentleman who had bet .n over turned. The coach had marked upon it in large letters the word " Vauxhall," and the street-keeper it seems, can identify it. The LORD MAYOR hoped, that for the sake of humanity, the brutal driver might be discovered. A very proper appeal had been made to the passengers. BOW-STREET. It was understood that Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS were yesterday to give their opinions as to whether the statements of witnesses, with which they had been furnished, respecting the mysterious death of Mrs. Phillips, of Finchley, were sufficient in their estimation to raise a presumption of guilt against some party or parties, or whether the whole bearing of that evidence was of too vague and in conclusive a nature to warrant their interference. Several gentlemen were in attendance by twelve o'clock, but from that time to the closing of the office at three in the afternoon, neither Mr. Phil lips, of Finchley, nor any of that gentleman's friends, appeared, to learn the determination to which the Magistrates had come after a perusal of the papers in question. Neither was Mr. Cox pre sent during the whole of the day, nor Messrs. Kerr and Blissett, the trustees to the testamentary paper which the deceased lady had left. At one o'clock Mr. HALLS, who had been deeply engaged in a private room in perusing the examina tions, entered the office, and was about to dispose of some unimportant public business, when he fell back suddenly in his chair, and appeared to labour for some time under an alarming illness. Sir R. Birnie directed that a surgeon should be called in. Mr. Halls was with difficulty led from the office to an apartment in the house of Mr. Stafford, where he was recovered sufficiently to be enabled to resume his public duties before the close of the day. Mr. Wekley ascribed the cause of his illness to a too close application to business, which Sir R. Birnie explained, by stating that the whole weight of official labour had for the last four or five weeks fallen upon Mr. Halls, owing to his (Sir R. ,Birnie's) late indisposition, and the illness of Mr. Minshull at the same time. The latter gentleman has met with a domestic calamity in the death of his wife, which may probably prolong his absence. The clerk of Mr. Ashuret, finding that there was no likelihood of the business upon which he attend ed, being brought to a conclusion, addressed Sir R. Birnie at two o'clock, stating that he had been in attendance since twelve, in expectation that the case of Mrs. Phillips would be gone into. He attended with the original statements, copies of which had been forwarded. Sir R. MIME asked if any of the other gentle men connected with the case were present. Ashurst's clerk replied, that he had not seen Mr. Phillips, of Finchley, during the whole of the morning ; and what was still more singular, Mr. Cox, the solicitor, who had seemed so urgent for the inquiry, had not thought proper to appear, to learn the result. Sir R. BiIINIE observed, that both Mr. Halls and himself were prepared to give their opinion upon the statements, but they certainly should wish to do so when all parties interested in the case were present. The sudden illness of Mr. Halls, and the non-arrival of the gentlemen whose presence would be necessary, prevented the possibility of entering on the business then. . Ashurst's clerk hoped that copies of the ex aminations would be delivered up to no one but himself when the Magistrates had given their de cision. Sir R. BlRNits replied, that the papers should certainly be given back to him (the clerk of Mr. Ashurst), from %7Elona they had been received. The clerk of Mr. Ashurst then withdrew. In the course of the d‘ty Sir R. BIRNIE stated that a very important documect had beep forwarded that morning by Dr. Tweedie, which both himself and Mr. Halls had attentively perused. The doctor• had also forwarded six closely-written pages of evidence. From an early hour in the morning, the outer door of the office was beset by several of the officers in the employment of the Sheriff of Middlesex,—a fact which might account for the non-appearance of some of the gentlemen whose presence was looked for. Two young women, paupers, belonging to the parish of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, were charged by the assistant overseer of that parish with riotously assembling in front of the workhouse, and demo lishing two panes of glass in the windows thereof. The case was fully proved, - and the prisoners were sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months. It is affirmed that a correspondence is at this moment going on between our Government and the Di rectors of the Mint in Paris, with the view of determin ing low far it may be expedient to extend the silver cur rency, and t 3 make it a legal tender in this country.— Er • d r 4 4 4 4 . -- zre 1444+ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1829. The French Papers of Tuesday have been re ceived, by Express, but their contents are more of a speculative nature than possessing any au thentic character. We are again told that the Russian army is to be remodelled, and that the Chief Generals of the Empire, with the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, are to be present at the important discussions which are to take place at St. Petersburgh on the subject. With respect to France and the Ministry, we find the same repetition of reports and contra dictions. One day the Monarchy—that is the Ministry—is to be destroyed—and next day the Charter is threatened. Time alone will settle which, or if any : (From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) PETERSBURGI(, NOV. 28. The greatest activity is observed in the Depart ments of Foreign Affairs and War. Couriers are daily arriving, and others are despatched in all di rections to different parts of the Empire, and to foreign countries. It is reported that not only Field Marshals Die bitsch and Paskewitch, but other principal Gene rals of the Army, have received orders to come to this capital, in order to be present at a grand Coun cil of State, in which several questions of the highest importance will be discussed, especially relative to the new organization which is to be given to the arm y. The Grand Duke Constantine is also ex pected here before the end of the year. With the exception of the regiments of the guards, which are on their return to this city, we do not hear of any movement of the troops to return to their usual can tonments in time of peace. All the corps which have formed part of the army in the field, will, it is said, take up their, winter quarters in the Turkish Provinces, which are to remain for the present oc cupied by us ; and, it is affirmed, that these corps will from time to time receive the reinforcements necessary to keep them at their full complement. (From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday. SECOND EDITION. REPORTS OF THE JOURNALS. PARIS, DEC. 15, NOON. M. de Polignac and M. de Bourmont profited by their leisure in the country to meditate on the vio lent measures with which they have been pleased to threaten France fur the last four months. All had been agreed en between them. The plan was to dissolve the Chamber, to change by an ordonnance the Electoral 'system, to declare the permanence immovibilite) of the tribunals suspended for a year, to suspend all the Journals which should not appear without a licence from the Government, and receiving from it a principal Editor, who should have been ordered to repeat every morning to France that the Ministry, by re-opening the career of revo lution, had saved the Monarchy. The Council of yesterday was to decide upon important questions. It was not till about half-past eleven at night that reports were circulated respect ing what had passed in it. The following are those which we have collected : That M. de Polignac opened the sitting with a report on the situation of France, in which, after re capitulating the arguments which have been repeated for these ten years in the counter-revolutionary speeches and writings, he endeavoured to prove that the Monarchy was threatened—that its dangers claimed a speedy remedy, and that the remedy was the project, the principal points of which we have mentioned. That immediately afterwards M. Cour voisier spoke with much energy and warmth against the criminal projects which it was ventured to bring forward as means of salvation for the monarchy, and that in a vehement extemporary discourse he showed the incalculable consequences of a mad resolution, which would convulse France, and, per haps, Europe. M. de Chabrol, it is said, spoke to the same effect, but with less energy. He chiefly endea voured to show, that every measure of this de scription would be followed by the ruin of public credit. M. d'Haussez coincided in this opinion. The contrary opinion was maintained by Messrs. De Bourmont and Guernon de Renville. It is added that the august personages who were present at this Council did not hesitate a moment to declare their repugnance to every measure which should deviate from the Charter. It even seems that the Dauphin entered into some developments, re m4r/olile for a just appreciation of the situation of France, and of its public spirit.

Accounts from Tiflis, of the 13th November, say that Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch had arrived there on the 6th of that month. On the 28th cf last month the Imperial Academy of Sciences had an extraordinary meeting, in honour of the illustrious traveller, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, on his happy return from his journey in Lobeira. After the reading of several interesting papers by different members of the Academy, Baron Von Humboldt delighted the company by a most animated account of the results of his scientific ex pedition, in which he also took a view of the pro gress of the study of the physical sciences in Russia, under the protection of the Government. The nu merous audience, among whom were the Grand Duchess Helena, Duke Alexander of \Vurtemburg, most of the Foreign Ambassadors, the Ministers of State, and the principal Clergy, and Civil and Mili tary Officers, listened with the most profound atten tion for above an hour to the instruction arid dis course of the great naturalist, and paid a just tribute of admiration to his multifarious knowledge, his acute spirit of investigation, and the eloquence of the language that flowed from his lips.

It is the object of this false intelligence to cause the search after the authors of the robbery to be relaxed or discontinued. When the articles stolen shall really be discovered we shall immediately acquaint the public. BRUSSELS, DEC. 13. The Journal of Antwerp contains the following article :—ln the sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday a very long Royal message was read, with a project of law to repress the abuses of the press. The message observes, that in the m;dst of peace abroad, and the prosperity of the several branches of the national manufactures, some evil disposed persons have abused the last law relative to the press, the most liberal that exists in Europe, to sow discord, dissension, religious hatred, and party spirit ; that it has become an imperative duty to repress these excesses by severe measures. His Majesty recommends this subject to the wisdom of the States-General. After entering into long de tails on the execution of the Concordat, the re sponsibility of Ministers, public instruction, and the attributes of the provincial estates, his Majesty concludes by hoping that his constant care for the happiness of his subjects will never be over looked either by his contemporaries or poste rity. The project of the law recognises the principle that all the acts of the Government may be discussed with temper by all the Journals and periodical publications; its proposed enactments are, that whoever shall attack the authority of the King, or the Members of the Royal Family, shall be punished with imprisonment from two to five years. Sentence of imprisonment, from one to three years, shall be pronounced against him who shall attack the heads of the Ministerial Departments, and the Members of the States General, with a view to de preciate the existing laws, or the authority of the Government. A repetition of the offence will be punished by increasing the penalty by one-half.— Prosecutions for the offences against this law must be brought within three months. BRUSSELS, DEC. 15.. The sinister project against the liberty of the press has excited a general outcry of disapprobation. The Journal; of the provinces are filled with re marks on this unhappy conception. It is reported that the city of Amsterdam has offered to the King a loan of 100 millions of florins, to meet the ex pellees of the Government if the budget should be rejected. A letter from Amsterdam, of the 13th, quoted by the Courtier Universel, positively states that the merchants of that city have offered the above sum. Thus all difficulties are removed ; all fears of the bad consequences of the refusal of the budget vanish ; thus the Treasury overflows with resources far beyond its demands, since the amount of the an nual and decennial budget together was less than 78 millions. On the other hand, a Journal of the northern pro vinces says, the Government is nearly certain of a majority in favour of the budget. We received this morning the following from our Paris Correspondent : " PARIS, DEC. 15. The Parliamentary Session of the kingdom of the Netherlands having now been for some time in full activity, the interesting situation in which that country is at present placed, with re ference to the Alinistry and the Government, will excuse me for preferring it as the subject of this day's communication to the tiresome topic of changes in the French Ministry. " Van Maanen, the Prime Minister of the King of the Netherlands, has been engaged for several years in a violent struggle with the libe ral party, whose supporters, among the conduc tors of the periodical press, have suffered severely from the Minister's vindictive proceed ings. While other members of the Cabinet have fallen around him under difficulties compara tively secondary, Van Maanen has been con stantly supported by the King, and has hitherto triumphantly maintained himself in power. There are, indeed, other reasons for this distinction independent of the Royal favour. The finances of the Netherlands are difficult to manage, either from the impossibility of making a uniform appointment of taxes, which are to be levied from two countries so dif ferent in their nature as Holland and Belgium, or because the debt, and the great financial con cerns of Amsterdam, have little analogy with the purely agricultural interests of the inhabitants of Brabant. The Minister of the Interior again has great difficulties to encounter in the management of the Provincial States ; and as to the Depart ment of the Marine and the Colunies, it is known that the pride of possessing a great colony like Batavia is an expensive fancy; but the recol-. lection of what Holland once was, and her com mercial and maritime hopes for the future, might justify some sacrifices, although it makes the administration of this branch of the public ser vice a very difficult and ticklish matter.- I ,' The Department of the Minister, whose duty it is 'to superintend the affairs of the Roman CaihoWeAtivotiliiii - , is no donbt, however the. most difficult of all. It is not easy to give satisfaction as the Minister of a Protestant King, under a free Constitution, with such in tractible materials to manage as the Catholic priesthood of the Netherlands, who are sup ported in all their proceedings by the Nobles and the people of their faith. These are some of the reasons which have created so many changes, since the restoration of the House of Nassau, in the offices of Minister of Finance, of the In terior, of the Marine, and the Colonies, and of the Roman Catholic Church, each of which has passed from hand to hand, as in France, but not with the same frequency or rapidity. " I have already hinted that Holland and Bel gium have interests not precisely identical ; but the Ministry of the Netherlands are known to have a decided leaning to the interests of Hol land as opposed to those of Belgium, and to govern with the persons, the maxims, and the jurisprudence of the French Imperial regime ; by means of which they violate or elude the Constitution voted by the States General in 1814, at the time of the restoration of the House of Nassau. " The Constitution of the Netherlands ad mits of two Chambers, the first being composed of members named for life by the King, and the second being elective. The first consisted originally of such individuals as could be found, with the usual distinctions of aristocracy, in either of the two divisions of the country, such as the Duke of Usel, the Duke de Loos, the Count de Mercy-Argenteau, the Count de Mi rode, the Prince de Chimay, and the Duke de Beaufort. But the majority of these individuals were led into the opposition, either by the effect of a natural sympathy between the Nobility and the Clergy, or more probably by their personal interests as proprietors of land, which were in consistent with the system of finance and taxa tion adopted by a Ministry wholly Dutch in heart and ideas. Besides, there was no Court influence to retain them in the ranks of the Ministry. In the kingdom of the Nether land there can scarcely be said to be a Court in the ordinary sense of the term. The Nobles there are few and poor, especially as compared with the capitalists, and the attendants on the King may rather be said to be a sort of military staff, than a Court, as it consists only of such as are entrusted with the performance of some offi cial functions. In consequence of the inclina tion of the Nobles towards the opposition, the Upper Chamber, which ought in theory to have been perfectly aristocratical, has been recruited by such members of the Lower House as have shown themselves sufficiently dependent on the Ministry, all, or almost all, being without pretension to per sonal consideration, and even without the in fluence of birth or fortune. In the Lower House the opposition found itself for a long while in the minority, because it was formed partly of Catholics and partly of Liberals, which the Ministry succeeded in putting against each other. During the last two years, however, the aspect of affairs has been ma terially changed. The Liberals, who had allowed themselves to be seduced into very illiberal measures, by means of which the Ministry had been enabled to repel the Ca tholic influence, began to see their error when the Minister's hostility to the liberty of the press, and his taste for violent and arbitrary measures, were manifested in the prosecution of Potter, Ducpetiaux, and other editors and printers of newspapers, who had pleaded the cause of free dom and philanthropy against the project of a new and barbarous penal code. Hence, in the Chamber and out of it, there arose a coalition between the two opposite parties, which deprived the Ministers of their majority. " Out of the Chamber the strength of the opposition was composed :-Ist. Of the Liberal and Catholic press. The journals published in the French language almost all support that interest. 2d. Of the Catholic clergy, who, although paid by the Treasury, take an active and public part in the struggle against the Mi nistry, preaching against them from the pulpit, and using their influence against them at elec tions and in soliciting petitions. 3d. Of the principal proprietors in the provincial States, most of whom arc at open war with the gover nors of the provinces, who are in the Nether lands what the prefects of departments are in France, and of course something very different from our Lords Lieutenants of counties. t , The Liberal opposition is accused of a ten dency towards a re-union with France ; the Ca tholic opposition are also supposed, but in a diffe rent sense, to have a leaning to the House of Bourbon, the eldest daughter of the Roman Catholic Church. The chief complaints of the coalition are The subjection in which the Catholic clergy is held to the Government, and the omission to execute, or the complete execution of, the Con cordat with Rome of 1827. They require also the freedom of education from the remains of the University established by the Imperial Govern ment. They complain of the intolerance of the present Government, with reference to the French language, which it has attempted to extirpate by violent means and by encroachments on the liberty of the subject. They demand important modifications as to the nature and assessment of the taxes, especially those which arc levied on the proprietors of land in the southern provinces ; and finally, they complain of the enormous dis• proportion in the division of public functions and employments betwen the Dutch and the Belgians, demonstrating by figures that the former are favoured to the prejudice of the latter in the proportion of ten to one. The Ministry h ave a l rea d y ma d e i mportant concessions :-Ist. In the Concordat of 1827, which has been followed in the nominations to the vacant Bishoprics of Liege and Tourney, and in the modification of the rules as to the issuing diplomas in the College of Louvain, where the instruction of the superior Catholic Clergywas formerly di rec t e d by ro y a l d ecr ees. 2l of a law on the liberty of the (. In the passing press, recalling the temporary and severe decrees of 1825. The sanction of a jury is still a desi deratum ; but that guarantee, although offered b 3 the Crown, was rejected by the Elective Chamber, through the influence of the Dutch, the declared enemies of trial by jury, which interferes with their mercantile habits, and offends their antiquated notions as to the neces sity of a knowledge of the law to the right ad ministration of justice. 3d. A law for the organization of public education is at this mo ment submitted to the Elective Chamber ; but whether they will be satisfied with it is sti 1 doubtful. 4th. Some places of importance have lately been given to certain old Members of the Liberal opposition, who, by their acceptance of them, have lost their popularity, without adding much to the strength of the Govern ment. sth. There has been some relaxation in the severity, approaching to persecution, by means of which it was expected to establish the supre macy of the Dutch idiom over the French ; and 6th. Some concessions have been made in the chapter of taxation, although a law for equalizing the land•tax was rejected by the Upper Chamber in 1827. " It is in this posture of affairs that the Go vernment now finds itself obliged, by the Con stitutional law of the land, to come to the Chamber to ask a decennial budget for the per manent service of the State. It is doubtful whe ther it will be granted without a stipulation for a change of Ministry, or at least without a bar gain with the present Ministry for a redress of grievances. " In the Parliament of the Netherlands the Chambers have not the direct right of proposing an amendment on a projected law. The Sec tions or Bureaux present their observations, and if the Government does not exercise its right to modify the projects presented, the Chambers pronounce on their adoption or rejection as a whole. This mode of proceeding, which was no doubt intended to operate as a restraint on the Chambers, has, in fact, only complicated the difficulty. " The Minister can count on a strong ma jority in Holland, and on the class of public functionaries, still more numerous and propor tionably higher paid than in France. He has also among the Liberal party the people of the University, who tremble to see their chairs deserted, and the clergy monopoliz ing the instruction of youth, under the system proposed of freedom of education. The numerous Professors of Louvain, Liege, and Gaud,are men in general tolerably well informed, and peaceably in clined, but devoted to the philosophy of the 18th century. Their notion of liberty is confined, in fact, to mere freedom of thought in matters of religion, and to the privilege of mutual instruc tion by whatever means it may be introduced and propagated, and without any very serious objec tion to intrigue and even violence. " Some collateral subjects I must reserve for another opportunity." Buenos Ayres Papers, up to Sept. 19 inclu sive, which is six days later than the date of the last arrival, have been received. It appears that the new Government is acting with much vigour, though several of the newly-appointed Members of the Senate have, under various pre tences, declined to serve. The Minister refuses to accept the excuses of some, and allows those of others, but iw both cases his answers appear to argue firmness and resolution. DE ROSAS has expressed his adhesion. The exchange on England is pretty much the same as that quoted in the last arrivals, being from Bd. to 84d. per dollar. The highest price of doubloons during the week had been 92 dollars—the lowest 87 to 88 dollars. Measures had been taken to remedy the interruption of the mails mentioned in the former accounts. Though England be justly admired for its general liberty, yet there is no country on earth where more frequent cases of individual oppres sion occur, and that too under the mask of that very law which we are told deals justice to all alike. Though wealth be the real standard of worth in England, yet its possession is not al ways a protection to personal liberty, as may be inferred from the daily cases of alleged lunacy which are got up at the instance of interested parties, who conspire to send a relative to a Lunatic Asylum for the remainder of his life that they may live upon his property. As nothing is more easy than to impute madness to an eccentric or nervous individual, it seems that the process is as easy of being put into practice, for the certi ficate of a medical man, obtained upon mere representation, is conclusive proof of insanity, and the wretch is deprived of personal liberty forthwith. If his mind was before sensitive, he soon gets melancholy cause fur rousing his temperament into all the irritating symptoms of confirmed insanity—the world closes upon the unhappy victim—and the task is done. Nor is it in presumptive charges of madness that a man's liberty is at the mercy of interested conspirators—it is equally so in cases of mali cious arrest. Upon the mere affidavit of a swindler, who swears that any individual named owes him a debt of any amount over twenty pounds, a person may be dragged from the bosom of his family and lodged in a common sponging house, till bail is procured to answer the fictitious charge of debt. In fact, we have now before us a case of this description, where the party has been sponged through the instrumentality of an action,— s against attornies upon a fictitious claim of debt And a in st I where's ho m the ?— remedy 1: e a (1y o ?f straw—and n i3 a r w in -tand have to pay your own costs. Poverty secures the culprit, and his attorney laughs you to scorn at the escape, or even imprisonment of his accotnialice-client. Really the state of the laws is deplorably de fective in both these cases of imputable luusgf and malicious 'or extortionate arrest. It c 3115 loudly for the interference of Parliament, and i n e will no d ou bt a tt rac t a tt e ntion in the enst . „ ° Session. For our parts, we shall endeavour t° press it upon the Legislature. It is the curse of the law in this country th at honesty has no real protection—while wealth}' roguery or swindling pauperism may hold just ice at defiance—or render the expence of the s uit and the chance of conviction so great as to de. ter a man of discretion from risking the vindi e3 ' tion of his character, or " throwing good money after bad," by appealing to " the glorious tin' certainty of the law." And will it be contended by sticklers ftit " things as they are," that common honesty entitled to no more protection than what tb e law now affords ? None but knaves or parti ci / interested in perpetuating present abuses, gill maintain such position. The many difficulties and harassing impediments thrown in the way cif justice, are sad proofs how much the chicanery of the " craft " has had to do with the e° ll. struction of the statutes at large. Indeed, W such a pitch of notoriety has this been carried, that it is now a bye-word of exultation among. lawyers, while it ought rather to be matter 01 reproach, that in every Act of Faith'mem there are so many flaws that a coach and four co uld be driven through it whenever occasion needs- THE► FUNDS.-(THIS DAT.)

A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held this morning, in the Court-room of the Bank of England. SAMUEL DREWE, Esq., Governor, in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court, at which the usual divi dend was declared, were read, The GOVERNOR informed the Court that this was a Quarterly General Meeting, held in pursuance of the terms of the Bank Charter. There being no motion before the Court, an adjourn ment was moved and carried. There were but few Proprietors present at the meeting held this morning, it being the custom at the Bank of England not to enter upon any discussions except at the Courts when dividends are declared. At the next Court some important discussions are expected to arise on the cnrrency, and other matters of great interest. COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) A Court of Common Council was held this morning for the despatch of a great variety of business ; at twelve o'clock the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR took the Chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read, a Re port from the Committee of the New London Bridge was presented, recommending the Court to authorise the Chamberlain to affix the city seal to bonds for the sum of 100,0001., advanced by the Bank of England towards defraying the expences of the new bridge. The Report Was unanimously agreed to. No other business of any importance came before the Court up to the time of our Reporter leaving. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. LEWIS V. WHITTINGHAISI. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL applied for an order to stay the issuing upon execution in this case until he had an opportunity of making a motion in the cause. Mr. HORNE, contra, was instructed to state that the execution had issued four days ago, and that there was every reason to suppose it was executed yesterday. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the parties to write by post, requesting that should proceedings not have been taken, they might be stayed till the further order of the Court. CORONER FOR THE COUNTY OF LENT. A gentleman behind the bar moved that a petition for the appointment of a Coroner for the county of Kent might stand in his Lordship's paper for to-morrow. The office had been rendered vacant by the resignation of the late Coroner, in consequence of his removal from the county to some other part. He meant to appear upon the petition, which would not be opposed.—Granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BRETT V. BEALES AND ANOTHER. The Court was still occupied to-day with the case of the Cambridge tolls. The plaintiff's case has not yet been finished, and the morning was occupied in examining a number of the oldest farmers of the vicinity of Cam bridge, to prove the existence within their memory of the tolls in question. The cause is expected to last the whole of the da) at least. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. 'DAGLEISH V. HODCS ,N. Mr. Serjeant WILDE and Mr. FoLLEIrr appeared for the plaintiff in this case, which was an action brought against the defendant, an underwriter, to recover the amount of a policy of insurance effected on the ship George, hound from London to Buenos Ayres. Serjeant TADDY and Mr. Segeant JONES were Counsel for the defendant, and contended that the plain tiff could not recover, as the Captain of the vessel had broken the blockade established by the Brazilian Govern ment at Monte Video in August, 1828. It appeared that when the ship arrived off Monte Video, no blockading squadron being in sight, the Captain, on account of the strong wind that was then blowing, sailed up the River Plate, and there cast anchor. Shortly after which the ship was taken possession of by the officers belonging to the blockading squadron, and carried into Monte Video, where she and her cargo were condemned as a prize of war, by the Admiralty Court of Brazil. Witnesses bad been called who stated that, in their opinion, if the Captain had tacked about instead of casting anchor he might have effected his escape from the blockading squadron, but as he had not done so, the real question in the cause was, whether or not, as the vessel had by the constituted autho rities of Brazil been declared a prize of war, for having broken the blockade, the defendant, under such circum stances, could be held responsible for the policy of in surance. The Lon!) CHIEF JusricE sa'd he would rather tot give his opinion upon this point without sufficient consi deration. He would therefore suggest, that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, subject to a special caw for the consideration of the Courts above. This suggestion was acceded to, and a verdict to that effect was accordingly given. Some opinioti may be formed of the vast power acquired by the Bank of England, since 1826, in the formation of branches in the country, by the followins list of places in which such establishments at present ex;st, viz.,—Exeter, Bristol, Norwich, Hull, Leeds, Birming ham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Gloucester, and Swansea. These may all with propriety be termed centres of districts, and embrace within their scope all the great manufacturing and trading interests of the country.— Times. • DEMOLITION Or ST. DUNSTA N'S CHURCH, FLEET-STIMIT.-Yesterday the first public sale of the materials of the above ancient church took place in the inquest room, adjoining the building, preparatory to its total demolition, to make room for the creation of a new edifice. The articles sold yesterday consisted principally of the fittings up, and do not call for particular remark. A few lots, consisting of articles coeval with the founda tion of the church, were disposed of. An iron standard, with copper vane, which the auctioneer warranted to be 850 years old, as could be proved by the parish books, after much competition, sold for 21. Iv. ; it weighed cwt. The turret sold for 10s. only; and the flag and flag-staff, which had floated on all great occasions for many years on the church, produced only 12s. Next week it is understood the building-materials will be disposed of ; and then the two wooden figures placed in the pediment in front of the church, representing savages, and who, by striking a bell with their clubs, indicate the quarters of the hour, will cease to be the " striking" wonder of the metropolis. A French Paper of Sunday reports the pro ceedings of a meeting of the Paris Geographical Society, at which the ex-Minister of Marine, M. HYDE de Nati vlLLE, presided. The President opened the business of the day by an eloquent spe ch on the objects of the So ciety, of which the late M. MALTE Baur; was either the founder or the most distinguished original subscriber. It offers prizes of considerable value, amounting to from 12,000 to 20,000 francs, to travellers who explore un known countries. Two of its late premiums have been awarded to M. PActio, for his travels in the Cyreuais ; and to M. CAILLE, for kis journey to Tumbuctoo. The only novelty which occurred at the meeting of the 12th instant was the reading of a memoir on the discovery of the traces of LA PEROUSE'S expedition, by Capt. DURVILLE, of the corvette Astrolabe. The ingenious navi, , ' ator tells us that he was abo u t t o return t o F ra nce fi om his voyage round the world, when he received, in the Indian Seas, new instructions, pointing his search to the shares of Ma nicolo for traces of this ill-fated expedition. It is a pity that the gallant Captain should have forgotten, in alluding to this su , iect, all mention of our, countryman, Captain Dit.t.ox, who had preceded him in this voyage, and had ascertained facts which be lt;id little else but confirm.; NEWGATE AND LEADENH ALL MARKETS.

At a meeting of tl.e FiNance Committee, held i • Dublin, at the looms of the late Catholic Associa. tion, on Friday the 11th of December, Mr. O'Gon. Max moved that Mr. O'bwYEa should take the chair, Mr. O'CONNELL commenced the proceedings by stating that he was public accuser. He had to com plain of Mr. Richard O'Gorman having taken away two minute-booki belonging to the Association. He considered that no - one had a right to the books of the Association but some one chosen by the people of Ireland, or the Finance Committee. They were public property, - and Mr. O'Gorman had no right to take them without either authority. Mr. NICHOLAS P. O'GORMAN said he was now put upon his defence. He did not claim any indi vidual right to the books, but as Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland, he claimed the custody not only of the two books now in his possession, but of all the books and papers of the Catholic body. He was now the only accredited and authorized officer of the Catholics of Ireland. Mr. Siff-IL—There is nothing like taking up a strong position. Mr. RICHARD O'GORMAN was quite astonished at Mr. O'Connell's motion. He, for his part, could not fathom the motive of it, unless that Mr..-O'Con nell wanted to get possession of the books himself. He (Mr. O'Gorman) had no notion of any indivi dual lording it over the Catholic body. Mr. O'CONNELL said, it was Mr. O'Gorman who was lording it over the Catholic body, when he took away the books without consulting them. This he (Mr. O'Connell) would not permit. No indi vidual should do this. He conceived that it would more become any other individual to praise Mr. N. P. O'Gorman, than his own brother. Although he had as high an opinion of Mr. O'Gorman as any one, he protested against this assumption of au thority. Mr. D. RONAYNE fully agreed with his friend Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'GORMAN stated that he intended to write a hi,tory of the late Catholic Association, and that as secretary to the body he had a right to the books. Mr. Sum supposed that Mr. O'Gorman claimed title as executor to the late Association, and had taken out letters of administration in his own court of prerogative. His promised history of the Asso ciation would, no doubt, be a valuable addition to the literature of the country. Mr. O'CoNNELL hoped it would be a true history of the Association. Mr. D. O'REILLY thought Mr. O'Gorman the fittest depository of the books. Mr. O'CONNELL then stated, that if the motion was carried, and that Mr. O'Gorman should restore the books, he (Mr. O'Connell) would move on the next Friday, that all the books of the late Associa tion should be committed to him (Mr. O'Gorman), under the control, as to inspection, of three persons to be chosen by ballot. Mr. O'GORMAN remarked, that if he did produce the books, perhaps he might as well produce all ac curate account, which he had taken, of the Deputa tion of 1825. It was a curious document. Mr. O'Connell's motion was then put and carried. Mr. SHEIL then came forward and stated, that in pursuance of his notice on the books, he bad to move that Mr. Francis Wyse be repaid a sum of 4001. for costs, &c. which he had been put to by reason of the prosecution of certain magistrates in the county of Wexford, in 1825. They were all acquainted with the facts, and he would not recapi tulate them; but, as a just debt, he thought it should be paid or put amongst the recognized claims. Mr. COPPINGER made a few observations, and seconded the motion of Mr. Sheil. Mr. O'CONNELL—There was now no money in hand to pay this claim, and as it was connected with unpleasant matter, it was better the committee should not go into its merits. He would therefore move an adjournment of the question. Mr. LAWLESS seconded Mr. O'Connell's motion. The question was then about to be put, when Mr. FRANCIS WYSE said, that although not a member of the committee, he claimed to be heard as a creditor of the Catholic body. He was by no means surprised that Mr. O'Connell should endea vour to get rid of the question by a side wind. He (Mr. Wyse) did not come there as a mendicant, seeking a gratuity for services he had tendered to his country. He came to claim a just debt. The facts were shortly these :—ln 1824, Counsellor Bric had been sent by the late Association to super intesl a prosecution in the county of Wexford. He (Mr. Wyse) had tendered him some assistance, and Mr. Bric requested he would communicate confi dentially with him on any matter of interest to the Catholic body. He (Mr. Wyse) accordingly soon after forwarded to the said Counsellor Bric, a letter containing a statement of some supposed local griev ance, and directed such letter to the care of Coun sellor O'Connell, Merrion-square, Dublin. His letter was marked private. He was of course less cautious than if it had been an ordinary letter; they might conceive his astonishment when he found his private letter had been read at the Association rooms, and that attested copies had been given to Mr. Fitzhenry for the avowed purpose of founding three actions against him : probably Mr. O'Connell might now be able to tell who had opened his pri vate letter, and sent it to the Association. It had caused several actions to he instituted against hint (Mr. Wyse), in one of which a verdict of 500/. da mages .had been given, with costs. The damages he had compromised : the amount which he paid in discharge of the costs of these actions he now claimed as a just debt. He had been treacherously betrayed, and his private communication hat been most improperly made public in a way he would not designate. Mr. O'CONNELL was anxious from the commence ment the matter should not have been brought for ward : the details were by no means to the advan tage of Mr. Wyse, who had brought the litigation on himself, by refusing the arbitration which was proposed to him. Mr. Wyse had placarded him (Mr. O'Connell) for seven or eight men:hs, in all the newspapers, respecting this very transaction. He (Mr. Wyse) had called him a liar, scoundrel, coward, and other epithets, of which he took no notice, bit which he made him (Mr. Wyse) a pre sent of. Mr. Wyse's conduct in the transaction had been atrocious and abominable. lie brought him self into a dilemma. The facts were these—that, in the first place, the letter was not marked " private." It was directed to Mr. Brie, at his (Mr. O'Con nell's) house it was true, and, as was his (Mr. O'Connell's) custom, he opened it, and finding it was on matters of interest to the Association, he sent it with other letters to the rooms. He would admit that he did sanction giving copies to Mr. Cor coran, the attorney, because he was a member of the Association, and he thought it unsafe to refuse copies of any such documents. He afterwards moved that the originals should be sent to Mr. Wyse, as it re lated to a private right, and a 3 he considered the Association should never be the vehicle for slander. Well, an action had been brought against Mr. Wyse, and every tittle of his letter proved to be false. - Mr. Wyse had made an apology to the Magistrates, to get rid of the damages. The costs had been brought upon himself ;by refusing arbitration, which Mr. Fitzhenry proposed to him in the Association rooms, in his (Mr. O'Connell's) presence. Mi. NYSE, in reply, said, that abuse from Mr. O'Connell carried no weight with it, and as he himself had stated that he (Mr. Wyse) had in print designated him as a " liar, a scoundrel, and coward," and that he had not thought proper to take any. notice of it whatever, he (Mr. Wise) considered him totally beneath his consideration as a gentleman. Mr. SLIEIL regretted such personalities should be used. Mr. WYsE—Yes; but under such circumstances how is it possible not to reply 4 ? Mr. O'Connell had used the words himself, but as to the facts, he positively and solemnly denied Mr. O'Connell' a - as• sertioo43 041 7 .10.Jef k .Wge..not . marked, a private." accusedAMr.o!CottrieW with breaking. the seal of his prii-atileifei;' an] he might say deliieiing him up to his opponents; an I the meeting would be astonished when lie should tell them, that at the very time Mr. O'Connell wss giving his assent to have copies of his letters taken, and urging him to concede to arbitration proposed by Mr. Fitzhenry, - he was his ( Mr. Fitzhenry's) legal and confidential adviser. Mr. O'CoNNELL-Such is n9t the fact. Such is not true. Mr. WYSE 'stated he had read the opinions and cases submitted to him by Mr. Fitzhenry. Mr. O'CoNNELL--They were not on the subject of the action against Mr. Wyse : they were on matte's as to_ a right of way. He had not given more than five or six opinions to Mr. Fitzhenry, and de nied he was his confidential counsel. Mr. SHEIL—If his recollection served him, a richt of way was the very subject on which Mr. Wyse's letter was constructed. Mr. R. O'GORMAN said he was present when Mr. Wyse was offered arbitration. Mr. SEGRUE and Mr. CURRAN confirmed Mr. O'Gorman's statement. Mr. WYSE—The only direct offer which he could bring to his recollection was made to him by Mr. O'Connell. Could it be supposed that he would ever trust himself to a man who had acted as Mr. O'Connell had done towards him, and who had acknowledged himself that he was the private coun sel of Mr. Fitzhenry at the very time. Mr. O ' CONNELL—Several offers were made to Mr. Wyse, which he obstinately declined, and now he wants the Association to pay his costs. Mr. Wyse had admitted his letter to be false, and had made an apology to the magistrates to relieve himself from the damages. Mr. WYSE-L - That is not true. I never made such an apology. I indignantly scouted it, and Mr. O'Connell knows by whom. Mr. Sum: recollected a written apology had been drawn up to him, as Mr. Wyse's Counsel; but Mr. Wyse did not sign it. Mr. DOWELL O'RULLY was never more sur prised than at the declarations which had been made. Mr. Wyse had been basely treated, and he did not wonder at his refusing Mr. O'Connell, the private Counsel of Mr. Fitzhenry, as an arbitrator; he oraly wondered that after opening a letter marked " private," any defence could be attempted. Mr. O'CONNELL—LittIe Dowell, what a passion you are in. It was not marked" private." He had torn off the cover, or• it would set the matter at rest. Mr. WYSg was astonished at the consummate effrontery of Mr. O'Connell, but fortunately the at tested copies taken by Mr. Corcoran (Mr. Fitz henry's attorney) were yet in existence, and would prove the fact. Mr. O'CONNELL—The gentleman may go on as he pleases. Mr. LAWLE99 had come to the rooms deter mined to vote against Mr. Wyse's claim, but after what had passed he would now vote for it. He thought it a case of extreme hardship and oppres sion, and a sufferer in the cause should not be left in for loss ; but then the money was all out. Mr. SHELL said it was a case of great hardship, and he thought the debt in common justice ought to be paid. After some further discussion the original ques tion was put and lost, with some dissentients. Mr. WYsE then said that he by no means consi dered the decision as binding on him, or affecting the merits of his claim, The meeting then adjourned. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

The same praise which we have already be stowed on the former Waverley Novels we may extend to this, namely, that it has been adini. rably got up as regards its embellishment, and the style and quality of its letter-press, and has further the advantage of being enriched by notes from the author, which clear up and illustrate whatever may appear mysterious, from local or other causes in the text. In his few pages of prefatory matter the author denies the charge of having drawn the shrewd, satirical, but well-intentioned Oldbuck from the life; one or two traits only at the most, he asserts, are drawn from recollections of an old friend long since dead. We learn that the circulation of these unrivalled tales, like the Fame of Virgil, " Vires acquirit eundo." We are happy to hear it; they merit universal diffusion. The Duke of WELLINGTON an& the Earl of ABERDEEN witnessed the performance of Miss FANNY Kamm.; as Belvidera in Venice Preserved, yesterday evening, at Covent-garden Theatre. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town yesterday from a visit to Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. HOPE, at their seat, Deepdene, near Dorking. Yesterday was the birth-day of Prince LEO roLD, when his Royal Highness completed his 39th year. His Royal Highness came to town in the afternoon from his residence at Claremont, and dined with the Duchess of )(JST, at her residence at the King's Palace, at Ken sington. Them was a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, attended by Miss Cooriß, came to town yesterday morning, from her residence at Kew. The Princess ESTIRIIAZY visited her Royal Highness at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess left town at five o'clock on her return to Kew. The Spanish Minister transacted business with the Earl of ABERDEEN at the Foreign-office. Despatches from Mr. DAWKINS, our resi dent in Greece, were brought to the Foreign-office by a Messenger, who arrived in town yesterday morning from Ancona, with despatches from Sir FIt.RDIRICK ADAM, the Loid High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, for the Colonial Office. THE EXCLUSIVES.—Whatever surmises may be made respecting the Authorship of this Work, we un derstand such cautious measures have been taken as to prevent the possibility of its being brought home to the actual writer. Mr. COLBURN is the sole possessor of the secret; the printers have had no connection whatever with the writer, and the original manuscript has been destroyed. WORTHING.—On Sunday her Royal High ness the Princess AUGUSTA attended Divine Service at the Chapel of Ease. On Monday the Royal visiter took her favourite walks on the Esplanade, and visited CARTER'S and STAFFORD'S libraries. We are happy to have it in our power to state that the Princess is in the full enjoy ment of health. The town is still filled with company, and, at this advanced ►eason, we never recollect to have seen it so gay as at present. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA has visited Park-crescent during the past week, and has spoken highly of its situation. The Princess paraded the different walks for nearly two hours; and we hear that it is the Royal intention to revisit these grounds, accompanied by Lord and Lady MARYBOROUGII, and other persons of distinction . A correspondent who addresses us on the two great questions which now occupy the country, viz.—the evils supposed to result front the abstraction of the small note circulation, and the general complaint of a decay in trade and manufactures,—seems to have given, in a few short sentences, as intelligible a view of the true state of the case as has lately fallen under our observation. lie says—" The evils which some persons declare to have arisen from the Withdrawal of the 1/. and 21. notes, al though no one has pretended to explain the modus ope randi towards such a result, it is far more reasonable to ascribe to the original over issues and long continuance of that paper in circulation, which gave to the needy and wild speculator and projector a temporary power and im portance to which the natural state of society did not en title him. Hence the many expensive establishments, and extravagant styles of living, the necessary abandonment of which gives rise to such loud complaints and lamenta tions upon the fallen state of commerce and trade, which has probably merely returned from a false excitement and forced production to the actual demands of society." In another passage our correspondent expounds with equal clearness the principles of credit. " Paper aceomoda tint'," he observes, "is seldom or never denied to those who are men of substantial property and regular dealing; and if those who are not such obtain it, it is generally to serve some unjustifiab!e purpose of monopoly and gain, to the injury of the established trader and the breaking up of the usual safe routine of business. With regard to the desertion which has been very frequently made of late, — that money is scarce in the country, ana plentiful only in London,—if this be the case, it is obvious that nothing more is necessary than to find out a saf e a nd legi!imate channel, and it will flow rapidly and in abundance from the capital, which is always the depot of unrequired wealth to every corner of the land. Th e di strus t which still keeps this vast hoard locked up comparat i ve ly from employment in the country, proves, perhaps, no more than this—that the late wanton and irregular issues of country bank-paper have so unsettled the bounds of credit, that the capitalist, being quite unable to judge Where lie may trust safely, recu4eatt)trtut at All Ti mes. , • EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Scotsman, SPIRIT OF tfIB PUBLIC JOURNALS. . • •• • . • • The hoklers of .Four per Cents. are called on by one of their body to combine, as one man, to resist the proposed conversion to In the printed Address which we subjoin to our City communication, it is observed, " By the terms of our covenant with the State, we may call for our payment in money at par. Such a payment, it is well known, the M:nister cannot by any possibility make ; for the capital of the Four per Cents. is 150 millions of money, and ac cordingly the success:of h:s (the Minister's) ma ncsuvres wholly depends on his inveigling us into his terms. The purpose of this Address is to prevail on you all, to a man, to reject his terms ; and if we act bravely and in a body, we may cast his project to the winds. We have the remedy in our own hands. Let there be meetings of the holders of Four per Cents. in every town in the kingdom, and an engagement one to another entered into, by which each holder shall bind himself to demand money for his stock. We shall then have the satisfaction of seeing the Minister's project returned to his port folio as a piece of wast paper." This is the only part ofthe Address worth attention. The attempt to• mix up the public interest with the interest of the holders of Four per Cent. Stock will de ceive no one. With respect to the possibility of associating, we must consiler the likelihood of so numerous a body as one-fifth of the ua tional creditors joining in or adhering to any plan whatever. Besides, the parties associating are not equal terms. - One holder of Four per Cent. Stock may have his whole fortune em barked, while another may have only a small sum, any loss on which may be of little conse quence to him.. Each holder will, therefore, judge for himself and act for himself; and hav ing no confidence in any general Associations, which cannot indemnify him for loss, he will resist the MiniStei, or fall in with hi- arrange ment, according as may appear consistent with his - advantage. Though the Minister cannot pay 150 millions in money, he may find money . for all who hold out ; and it would be but a poor consolation to one who lost by being paid off, that he adhered to a general determination which others departed from. We await the re sult, for in a matter of this kind there is no criterion of wisdom but success. If the Mini ster be successful, he will thereby prove that his calculations have been well founded. If he can lighten the pressure of taxation, by any measure which does - not involve a breach of contract with the national creditor, he will deserve the thanks of the country.—Morning Chronicle. Some of our Contemporaries have been much scandalized at the indecent scene lately exhibited in the Court of Chancery; and, in truth, it is difficult to conceive anything more ridiculous than an old stager, like Sir Charles Wetherell, who has for years been charged with the duty of watching over the execution of the law, setting, himself, an example of violating it, whiLh would disgrace the frequenter of a tap-room. It has been well remarked, too, that a challenge in public is a very equivocal test of courage, as it is given under the eertainty that no result will be allowed to take place. " The crime of duelling (say* the Standard) has lately increased in this country to a degree which imposes upon every one who has the command of any probable means of checking its progress, a sacred duty to employ those means. Within eight months more duels (some of them fatal) have, been fought in England than in as many years preceding. This is a condition of affairs which surely calls upon the Magistrates to exercise the authority delegated to them, and for the due ex ercise of which they are solemnly responsible before their Uod—which calls upon Grand Juries to exer- . cise their not less urgent authority—which calls upon the Press, as the public advocate, to hold Magi strates and Juries to their duty ; and, we will add, which warns men Whose age, station, or character, may give weight to their examples, how far they may, by their practice, not only sanction, but enjoin, the habitual perpetration of such a crime. We say enjoin, for when men of rank, and of an age that ought to bring wisdom and a sense of religious re sponsibility, engage in the commission of this bar barous and unchristian offence, they do not hazard their own lives only—they compel other men, if they are younger or of inferior rank, to hazard their lives, if they would escape the public scorn, If the Solicitor-General and Sir Charles Wetherell are justifiable before men in violating the law of God, upon a silly question of precedence, how can a ju nior Barrister, who has neither their experience, their age, their rank, nor their obligation to preserve their lives for their families, how can the unmarried young Barrister, whose blood would naturally be warmer than that of his seniors, acquit himself of poor ness of spirit, if he is not as prompt as they to grasp the pistol upon a point of professional courtesy ? Would to God that men, whose age and rank cause their example to operate as laws in pubh v opinion, did but reflect upon the illimitable train of calamities which their wicked or inconsiderate vio lation of the law may occasion. Wnidd that be• fore they go into the field to lift their arms against their brethren, in defiance of the laws of God and man, they would marshal before them in imagina don the long train of bleeding and mourning Vi c. aims they are then about to condemn to death or misery! The murdered son, the hope of the wedthy, or the stay, perhaps, of the otherwise destitute parent—the parent sorrowing, and sor rowing equally, whether in riches or in penury.— The young widow—her bright prospect of long years of happiness changed in its dawn to a long midnight of cheerless want and unalloyed despair.— The orphaned infants—often hurried by the stroke of a duellist's pistol from comfort, from cleanliness, from the fair course of a Christian education, to poverty, filth, and vice; but still oftener deprived of the protection of a father's cure, and the sun shine of a father's love." This is a very forcible appeal, but all remon strances against duelling have been hitherto un availing with thaso who are the most liable to yield to the practice, because the love of life in well constituted minds is less strong than the dread of contempt ; and a man's conduct bill be regulated by the opinion which prevails in the society in which he mixes. The hest check on improper challenges is that which exists in the army, where a quarrelsome or troublesome fellow is always sent to Coventry; and thus the same powerful motive which leads a man to, hazard his life, namely, the wish to stand we'll in society, serves to discourage all wanton attempt to drive hint to such an extremity. if reasoning could put an end to the practice, it would not long continue to cxiit ; for an issue of this kind, while it determines nothing as to the merits of the quarrel, draws into importance a man who bas no other merit than that of being a bully. In the Irish House of Commons a sort of assassins made themselves of unportatite by fastening on men formidable to the Alinistry,, and literally fought their way by the• plstol ,to offices to which their talents were unequal.

difficulty in obtaining a ruffian, for two or three guineas a week, to expose his person to all who might choose to consider a conflict of this kind any satisfaction for the , injury they sustained. We are sorry to perceive the mistake into which an esteemed Northern Contemporary lately fell, in supposing that.the morality of the Press could be improved by appeals of this nature. Ex perience is quite the_ other way. Those who possess real merit are not the most likely to have recourse to moral assassination ; and as mere slander and ribaldry soon exhaust themselves, and consequently lose their attraction, the pru dence of affording them the means of attracting attention by the display of personal courage is exceedingly questionable. A vulgar and im pertinent assailant may be safely left to himself; he will do himself more injury than him whom he attacks.—lbid. We cannot discover the policy or the justice either of advocating or of sacrificing the interests of one part of the community at the expense of the rest ; yet this latter is the treatment which the landed interest is now receiving at the hands of those who wish to be thought the liberal part of the Press. We are gravely told that a reduc tion of rents would be a panacea for all our grievances, while it would be a just punishment of the landed interest for the support which they gay . e to Mr. Pitt in commencing and prosecuting the war which led to the accumulation of our enormous debt, and consequent present burdens. If those who write such things are old enough to remember the periods of which they speak, they must know (or, if not, history would inform them) that such assertions are untrue. It is in vain now to travel back for a period of seven-and thirty years, to attempt to settle a point which never has been, and probably never will be, una nimously agreed upon—viz., the justice or ne cessity of the war which then commenced. But one thing is quite certain, that whatever support the measures of the then Minister met with from the landed interest, either in or out of Parliament, was at least equalled, if not surpassed, by the prominent zeal displayed by .. the moneyed and mercantile interests, whose " life and property" meetings, and whose " loyalty loans," were well enough rewarded by other loans and contracts,.to say nothing of the testimony which both the Peerage and Baro netage of that clay bear to the disinterestedness of their zeal, and the value of its reward. We say this rather to remove exclusive blame from the shoulders of one class of the community, than to place it on those of another. A sense of common danger should silence the voice of mutual crimination, even if any party was exclu sively to blame, which, at this distant period, it is probably in vain to inquire. And what is there in the relative state of the parties (the landowner and the fundhohler) which can jus tify any one in calling for the sacrifice of the one and the indemnity of the other ? It is true that the landlord has doubled, and, in many instances, more than doubled, the rents of his estate=, though we doubt whether he now finds that he has doubled their saleable value ; but has the stockholder derived no advantage, when, for every 461. which he lent the country, be can now obtain 941.; and the average of whose loans at this moment bear a premium in the market of 90 per cent.? And who, let us ask, has borne the burden and heat of the day ? We answer, the landowner, whose increased rents have scarcely enabled him, if his estate be of moderate dimensions, to retain his station in society, after having mainly contributed to pay the public creditor his dividends, and the mann facturiug as well as agricultural poor that main• tenance which devolves almost exclusively upon him. Away, then, with the cruelty, the fallacy, and the delusion, of endeavouring to throw upon one part of the community burdens which the whole must and ought to bear ! Such notions, though advanced by " liberal" heads, are most illiberal in their origin and mischievous in their consequences, and can only tend to divide and distract attention from the common danger, which shOulrbbe met by one common remedy. — Morning Herald. We really thought that we should not again have hal occasion to mention the name of O'Connell, previous to his appearance at St. Stephen's ; .but to every hell there is " a deeper still," and if we may judge from the accounts which have reached us from the sister island, the great Agitator has determined to fall by degrees, and not to grace the brows of the " Collective" only with an exposure of his insignificance.— The answer put forth by Mr. O'Connell, on the question of huxterina with the Beresfords for a larger fee, in order to bring them in for the - county of Waterford, was a choice morsel of special pleading ; but the upshot of the extra ordinary meeting of the Finance Committee of the defunct Catholic Association on Friday last, was a gem of the first water. Mr. O'Gor man Mahon—one •of the most respectable members of the Association, and Secretary to it, while it bad being—had possessed him self, as %ve mentioned yesterday, of some of the books of the Association, with the view of writing a history of it. Mr. O'Connell demurred at an act which gave the Secretary at cne. seep nine points of the law against him, and a meeting of the Finance Committee was called for the purpose of regaining possession of tharD• We need not mention the result in any other' terms than that the Secretary still possesses the books, and does not by any means seem dis posed to give them up; but the following choice morsel of history we must give at length. Mr. Slieil and Mr. Lawless, it will be seen, acted the part of honourable men, and opposed the dicta of the great Agitator. What, it was asked, has become of the Catholic Rent, squeezed from the pockets of the poor Irish peasantry and others? this is an awkward interrogatory. Probably the Secretary's history of the Association will ex plain it, particularly if it embraces the history of the county of Clare election, and the i tems cf the expenses incurred in returning the great Liberator to Parliament. There is something also to be said respecting the mission in 1825. Would Mr. O'Connell like to have it published? —Morning Advertiser. AFFECTING MANJA.—A considerable ex citement took place at Middleton-in-Teesdale, on Monday week, in consequence of a body being found in the church yard, which at first was supposed to have been " Burked ;" bat on inquiry it proved to be the remains of a young man named ROBINSON, who died about four months ago of small pox, and whose mother in a fit of derangement had deg out of the grave, in the night of Sunday, under the delusion, that a minister, whose description of the raising of LAZA nus she had heard in the day, could oper ate in the same manner on her dead see. She had disin terred the body, but being unable to carry it away, and having been refused assistance by a neighbour to whom she A pplied, she left it exposed, and retired home.

(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Mrs. Brookbanlee examination continued.—My nephew's sister Catherine went with me to the asy lum, and he was very indignant with her indeed. He called her every thing that was bad. She did not take her child with her. He called her names very improper and hurtful to her feelings; he said that he would spit in her face, only he had no spittle to spare. She had said nothing to irritate him. He had sent fix• her by a servant. The unvarying sentiment in his mind, at the interviews which I have had with him, is aversion and antipathy to his mother. I made an affidavit upon this subject when application was first made to the Lord Chancellor. When he talked of his being enlightened from God, he said he was enlightened by God's having tapped him on the shoulder. He said that it was superna tural. He added, that he knew he should be a great man, because God had tapped him on the shoulder and told him so. By Mr. BROUGHAM—I am Mrs. Bywater's sister. lam now wife to Mr. Brookbank. I was formerly wife to Mr. Ross, to whom E. Davies was appren tice. I have nothing more to tell. I would not do my nephew any harm if I could. _ Mr. BROUGHAM-1 know all that, ma'am; but you must be so good as to answer one or two questions which I shall take the liberty of putting to you. The witness then continued—l was before mar ried to a Mr. Cromwell, a surgeon. Mrs. Bywater lived in Wales before she was married. She kept house for Mr. Jones, of Cambridge. My sister lived, before that time, as servant to Dr. Jones, of Pool. She was then in service as a cook, in Lon don. She then married Mr. Davies, who was at the time a porter in a warehouse. Sir C. WETHERELL objected again to this evi dence. What could be the object of ripping up the private history of these different parties ? Mr. BROUGHAM said it was recessary to try the conduct of Mrs. Bywater to her son in this case. Persons who had rot been over delicate in one part of their lives, might not be quite so delicate as others in another part of it. The witness's examination continued.—l lived at Stamford-hill when Mr. Davies lived at Crouch- hill. I often come to town, and I had at one time a house both in town and country. I very seldom dined in Philpot-lane, for my relations there were always engaged in business. I dined there only twice in seven years. I do not know how many, but about 17 or 18 servants live with Mrs. Bywater in Philpot-lane. Those servants see my nephew every day. The last time that I was at the Retreat, at Clapham, was about a fortnight ago. I have a servant of the name of Elizabeth Price. I know Edward Hammond. He is one of my nephew's servants. I did not say, when I came from Clap ham, to Elizabeth Price, in the presence of Edward Hammond, that Edward Davies was.as well us ever, and that it was a shame to keep him in a mad-house. If Hammond has swot!) that, he has taken a false oath. I said to Elizabeth Price that my nephew appeared very well : but I did not say that it was a shame to keep hitn at Clapham. Ido not remember to have said so. I will swear that I never said so. I said it was a great pity to keep him there. I might say that I was sorry for what I had done against him. I was always sorry to see him in con finement. I know Dr. Mackinnon. He married a niece of mine and of Mrs. Bywater. He is a phy sician living in Great George-street, Westminster. I told Dr. Mackinnon that Ed ward Davies was so well that I had put off ray journey to Brighton, in order to take him out of Dr. Burrows's retreat the next day. That was about two months ago. By the COMMISSIONERS—I do not remember that he ascigmed to me any reason for his enmity to his mother. He said that his mother was angry with him because he had not told his sister the value of the estate at Crouch-hill, and what he bad given for it. Ho did not assign any reason subsequently for his dislike to his mother. He never assigned any reason. When asked him for a reason, he said, " I dislike her, and that's enough." f his witness gave her testimony in a very loan. dible tone of voice, and under feelings much excited. Mr. Brougham created much amusement at her ex pence by his mode of de-king her to keep quiet. " Now don't be excited, Ma'am—don't be wild ! Don't be boisterous ! Don't be irritated, Ma'am ! It's rather dangerous, you know—you see the con sequences." His system of soothing appeared to be any thing but pleasing to the poor lady's feelings. Mr. Benjamin Hands, examined by Mr. WRIGHT am a surgeon. The first time I saw Mr. Davies was on the 7th of August. He was then in an ex cited and irritable state of mind. The first thing which struck ate as peculiar in his conduct was the manner in which he received me when I went to visit him. He received me at the entrance of his house, and led me into his parlour, in a very obse quious manner. When we got into the room, he took a chair and placed it for me, more in the way of a servant than of a gentleman. lie said that he had been confined unjustly, and that he should be happy to meet with somebody who was his friend. All those to whom he had been accustomed to look up to in that character had become, he said, his greatest enemies. His anxiety to close the doors of the room in which we were, struck me as extraor dinary. He told me of an interview which he bad had with four physicians, who had seen him a day or two before. I asked what they had said. He spoke very disrespectfully of them. He said that he conceived that they had been sent down by his mother and friends to form an opinion on his case, and that he expected they would return one unfa vourable to him. He expressed displeasure at each of them. I visited him in his bed-room on the last day of his being at Crouch-hill. I should think that it was on the 14th or 15th of August. I found him in bed, partly dressed, with his drawers on, and with a large dog in bed with him. He told me that that dog was his only friend. It was a large fight ing dog. He drew up the bed from the mattress, and took from under it a large book of plain paper covered with parchment—it was as large as a folio sheet of blotting-paper. He said that he had sat up nearly all night writing in it—he had not had tune to transcribe what he had written, and he begged that I would read it. I looked cursorily over it. Mr. WRIGHT.—We have given notice to produce the book. - - - - Mr. BROUGHAM—We have it not. Mr. WRIGHT—! saw it myself in Mr. Hobler's hands hzfore the Lord Chancellor, at Brighton. Mr. Hobler , —You have done no such thing, Mr. Wright. Sir C. WETHERELL—WeII, well I, no matter, let us now proceed regularly. I give notice, that if this book is not produced, I shall move my Lord Chancellor to issue an attachment as for a contempt of his order. After some argument between the Learned Coun sel on both sides, in the course of which Mr. BRouniux offered to admit the service of the notice, and Mr, WRIGHT refused to receive it as admission, Mr. Miles Stone was called to prove the service of the notice. " I served Mr. nobler," he deposed, " with a notice, desiring him to produce certain paper 4, being—" Mr, PROUGHAM—The notice will speak for itself; we must not have the witness's version of it. Prove the service, and if we do not produce the notice, you can put in evidence your duplicate of it. Sir C, WETHERELL contended that this was un neeesa,ary. Mr. BRouGHAai could not acquiesce in that doc trine. He bad offered to admit the service of the notice in question, but his offer had been rejected ; and it was now quite evident that his Learned Friend was rot in a condition to prove it. All that he had proved was, that Mr. nobler had been served with a paper. Ilia Learned Fiend must produce a duplicate of that paper, or he could not pretend to state its contents to the jury. - . The Counsel in support of the commission asked their attorney for a copy of the notice; but it was evidently not forthcoming. ' After a short pause, Mr. Hobler stated, that the notice which had been served upon him was to pro duce a book, some papers, and a sealed packet. There is the book, which I had the notice to pro duce. I have no other, and I had no other. Mr. WRIGHT—That is not the book which I saw before the Lord Chancellor at Brighton ; and if ne cessary, I will make an affidavit to that effect. Mr. Hobler— I repeat that it is the book. After some further altercation, Mr. WRIGHT de sired that Mr. Hobler should be sworn. lie was sworn accordingly, and being examined by Mr. Wright deposed as follows :—" That is the only book which I received from Mr. Davies. On the 17th of August, when I saw Mr. Davies at Port land -terrace, he tore a number of sheets out of a book in my presence, awl gave them to me. I left that book in the possession of Mr. Davies, and I have not seen it since." Mr. Holder, in answer to other questions asked by Mr. WRIGHT, depwed as follows :—When first went to see Mr. Davies, at Crouch-bill, I was shown into a parlour, where there were two persons sitting. I did not know who they were at the time, but I have since learned, and I now know that they were two keepers of Dr. Burrows's. Mr. Davies was not in that room. I saw Mr. Davies about a quarter of an hour afterwards. I was called by a female servant into another room, and there I was desired to take my seat. Shortly afterwards a gentleman came into the room, whom I immediately recognised as Mr. Davies. He remained alone with me, I should think, for nearly an hour. He came into the room unattended by the two keepers of Ivhom I have just spoken. When he entered the room he recognised me immediately; he put out his hand and said, " Mr. Nobler, I am glad to see you, pray be seated, I knew you before, in Wal brook. You used then to be much inquired after, and I used to see your name often in the news papers. I have wished very particularly to see you." He then desired me to sit down. I sat down by him. lie then rang a bell, and desired a female servant to bring pen, ink, and paper. She (lid so. On their coming, he sat down again, and gave me a long history of his then present state, and how it had been brought about. Ile spoke and complained of his mother. He complained of various acts which she had done, and which he consi dered as unkind. He wished to emancipate himself from the controul of his mother, under which he had long been placed. He said that his mother had interfered very much with his business. He said that she would not allow him to conduct it as be pleased ; that she interfered too much with his shop men, and thwarted his arrangements for the proper management of his business. I can't say that he particularly complained of her turning off one of the servants. He said that this conduct of his mother had vexed him for years. That it had increased for the last year. That he had a desire to be married, and that she had checked him in that design by the proceedings which she had recently instituted against him. He spoke about the purchase of the house at Crouch-hill. He said that after he bad purchased it, he had desired his then attorney to come down and take some instructions for his will. The attorney did come. He showed him about the grounds and gave him some instructions. The at torney asked him how he intended to dispose of that estate by his will, and whether his sister was to have any share in it. He told me that there was a portion of his family which had been much ill-used by his mother, and that he felt it to be his duty, out of regard to that portion of his family, to leave them part of that estate, in order that they might participate in the success which he had had in trade. Sir C. WETHERELL—DO you know the name of that attorney ? Air. Hobler—l do. Sir C. WETHERELL—What is it ? Mr. Nobler—l am unwilling to mention it, as it may appear as if I was anxious to throw blame on another professional man; but if you require me to mention it, I can have no objection. Mr. BROUGHAM—Youhad better state what his name was. Mr. Hobler—The name of the attorney is Foster. ; He said that he was jealous of saying much to Mr. Foster about not leasing Crouch-hill to his sister, as that gentleman had been an old sweetheart of her's. He continued the conversation with me some time on that subject. He spoke kindly and feel ingly of his mother, and without so much agitation as I should have shewn myself under similar cir cumstances. He said that though it was very un pleasant to his feelings to make such a statement, he thought it right to state to his confidential solicitor who his father and mother were. He said that his father was a porter in a warehouse, and his mother a cook in the family, and that they bad married. He said that his father had died when young, and that he had been in the spirit trade—that in point of fact, he had kept a public-house. That his mother had married again, and that he was anxious to leave part of his property to her husband's family, because he was anxious to repair the injury which she had done them. I knew nothing of this story pre viously, not even the names of the parties to whom it related. He said that he had been eminently successful in business. He said that he had pur chased a place at Crouch-hill, and that it was worth more than he had given for it. He had bought it in June. He did not say any thing about a robbery to me. At this period of the conversation Mr. Day and Mr. Lawrence came in and interrupted it. Mr. Hands came in afterwards. Mr. Lawrence came in his carriage, Mr. Davies got up and said, " That is Mr. Lawrence, my confidential medical adviser." I have heard what Mr. Hands has this day said. Mr. Hands, Mr. Day, Mr. Lawrence, and myself, %vete all of us in the room together. When Mr. Law rence came into the room, Mr. Davies retired. Under standing that Mr. Lawrence was in the house, 1 sent toy card to him. Mr. Day afterwards came into the room with Mr. Davies. Mr. Lawrence asked after his health. Mr. Davies said, " Thank you, Sir, I feel a little better!" Mr. Day conversed with Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Davies being in and out of the room. Mr. Hands, Mr. Lawrence, anti Mr. Davies went towards the window, and there some conversation ensued. I joined them with Mr. Day, and we stood together some time. Mr. Lawrence spoke to Mr. Davies about his being in a retired and lonely place, and asked him how he should liken change of scene. He made, in reply, a witticism to Mr. Lawrence; he said " 1 must joke, even at the cannon's mouth." I observed Mr. Davies was given to joking and sarcasm. Mr. Lawrence said that it had been proposed that he should go to the house of a lady in the Regent's-park. Mr. Davies said, " Anywhere where you think it necessary, I am ready and willing to go." Whilst Mr. Davies was out of the room, a proposition was made in the presence of Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Day,—l do not think that Hands was present, but I am not sure,- that he should return to his mother. I said to Mr. Lawrence, " There seems great agitation in the mind of Mr. Davies on the subject of his mother's conduct towards him." As he seemed inclined to allow me to exercise considerable influence over ' him, I. asked Mr. Lawrence whether he thought that it would be advantageous for me to use that influence in removing his prejudices. Mr. Lawrence said, " It was very true that subject had produced con siderable agitation in his mind, and that if a reconci liation could be effected between him and his mother, it would be of great advantage. I then proposed call. ing on Mrs. By water,and telling her so. Mr. Lawrence said, " Put it as your suggestion, in which I con cur." Air. Lawrence showed me a card on which the address was written, to which he proposed to have Mr. Davies removed. I went to Mrs. Bywater the next day with that proposition. I was very rudely treated. She said that I had been there the day before, with that rascal George I3ywater, and I that she stipposed that he had taken me up to her son. She said that Mr. Lawrence had told her that my visit was very improper. Mrs. Pugh, her daughter, was there also. I ought to have stated that when W. Lawrence gave me the card of the add: ess to which Mr. D►►vies was to be removed, he told me that Mr. Pugh had taken the lodgings. In consequence of this representation, or rather mis representation of Mrs. Bywater, I wrote to Mr. Lawrence on the subject. I had an answer from him, with which I was perfectly satisfied. I resumed my attendance on Mr. Edward Davie•. I saw him at Portland-terrace on the Monday afterwards. I saw him for two or three hours. I took tea with him, and conversed with him on the subject of his treatment. I was in Mr. Davies's bed-room at Portland-terrace. The keeper was not in the room with Mr. Davies when I entered it. There were no razors in his bed-room. He said that he had been treated as a lunatic—that the looking glass was fastened to the wall—and that there were various other minor grievances, to which lie ought not, as a gentleman, to submit. I went to see him a;ain at Portland-terrace, but was refused admittance by Mitten, one of Dr. Burrows's keep ers. He told me that the name on the card of the house to which he was told that he was to be taken for the benefit of female society, was Mrs. Ricketts and Mrs. Wardell. He told me that he found that, instead of being the kind of house which had been represented to him, it was the house in which Sir Paul or Mr. Paul Jodrell (I do not recollect which name he mentioned) had been confined. When the conversation took place at Crouch-hill about his house, I used my influence to recommend him to go. He complained to me of having been deceived by us. On my first entering the room in which he was in the house at Portland -terrace, he was much affected. He rose and almost embraced me. He said," I am very glad that you are come, for I was told that you had given me up." He said, " Your b'll was sent back to me yesterday, with this mes sage, ' 6 See, your attorney has done with you." He gave me back the bill which I had sent in to Mrs. Bywater, for my attendance on her son at Crouch-hill. Sir C. - WETHERELL—Your bill! then you took care to send in your bill. Mr. Hobler—Yes, and there it is for inspection (placing it on the table), It is drawn up, and was delivered by one of my clerks, now present : and if vou wish to have my opinion on the subject, I have been engaged in but one commission of lunacy, and I have no wish to be engaged in another. After Mr. Davies had given me back that bill, he began to talk about it, and I had some little difficulty in calming him. When I attempted it, he said, " Look about you, Mr. Hobler; see the glass fastened to the wall, the bars at the window, and then consider whether I can be placid in such a place as this ?" We then sat down and conversed on various mat ters. He said, that from the way in which Mr. Lawrence had lured him to, and left him in that house, he was desirous to have some disinterested medical man to attend him. No person was named. Whilst we were discussing these matters, Mitten, the keeper, brought us in two cups of tea. I took one, and Mr. Davies took the other. At this time he was quite calm. Whilst we were thus engaged together, Mr. Lawrence came in. On hearing that I was with Mr. Davies, Mr. Lawrence wished to see me in another room. I supposed that it was on the subject of my letter to him. I did not go to him. When Mr. Lawrence saw me, he said to me, " I have written to you on the subject of your let ter." I said to Mr. Lawrence, " I have not yet seen it, but 1 have no doubt that I shall get it when I return home." We then all sat downi together, and conversed, among ether matters, on the subject of tea. Amongst other things which Mr. Davies said, he remarked that the best tea in his shop was 6s. 6d. a lb. Mr. Lawrence said, " I drink my tea at ss. 4d. a lb." Mr. Davies said, "If I may give my opinion, Mr. Lawrence, you had better drink it At Gs. Gd. a lb." Mr. BROUGHAM—For my o:vn part, I would ra ther drink my tea with Mr. Davies than with Mr. Lawrence. The witness continued—Mr. Lawrence soon left us. I then conversed with Mr. Davies for some time afterwards on the subject of his release, and on the best means of obtaining it. He asked me what would be the speediest mode of producing it. I told him. Subsequently, I spoke to him about getting his release by suing out for him a writ of habeas corpus; but there a difficulty met me, as there was no Judge in town in consequence of the assizes having takes them all upon different cir cuits. I recollected, however, that the Lord Chan cellor had jurisdiction in these subjects. I explained the whole !natter to him, and he understood it im mediately. He understood it much sooner than many of my clients, whose sanity has never been doubted, would have understood it. As it was growing late, I told Mr. Davies that I must leave him. Just as I was going, Mr. Dobson, a little dealer, who bud been in Mr. Davies's employ, was announced. But before Igo to that, I hope I may be permitted to state a circumstance which happen ed ut Crouch-hill, and which I forget to mention at its proper place. When I was with him at Crouch hill, he pulled out a book, and opening it, said to me, "Look here—on the 7th, B.h, and 12th of Au gust, all the time that I have been in confine ment bete, they have been sending to me for in structions how to conduct the business in Philpot lane, which they do not know how to conduct without me. Look, here are my calculations, as to what ought and was to be done." Previ ously to Dobson's coming into the room, Mr. Da vies said to me, " As it is very likely that all my papers will be taken from me, you had better take away with you all these letters. God knows that they are not the most sensible that I ever wrote— but some allowance ought to be made, cruelly treated us I have been, and still am." Ile then tore several leaves out of a book, and gave them to me for safe custody. The papers, which were torn out of the book, were the letters which I have given in, and the calculations in his own hand-writing for the amount of tea transferred to his shop during the time of his being confined to his house at Crouch hill. The other papers which I have were left at my office by Mr. Dobson, who, as I said before, came into the room whilst I was sitting with Mr. Davies at Pot tland-terrace. Mr. E. Davits then gave me a sealed packet, a cash-book, and a large bundle, which he said contained tea-warrants. The deposits he said had been paid up on them, and the prompt would be due, I think, but am not certain, that he said on the 28th of September. He said that Mrs. Bywater would have to procure 5,0001. to make up the prompt. He told me also that his bankers bad refused to cash his cheque for 2001. •I his is the cash-book he gave me. On the margin of that cheque is written in short hand " to lend Mrs. Ings 200/. for three weeks." Mrs. Inge lives at Mount-pleasant, Gray's Inn-lane, where she keeps a small brewery. The letter which Mr. Davies ad dressed to me, desiring me to call on him at Crouch hill, was not intended for my father. My father is clerk to the Lord Mayor, and is well-known in the city of London. Sir C. WETUERELL desired that that letter should be put in and read. llis request . was then complied with. The witness, after apologizing to the Court for being obliged to retrace his course very often in re counting the particulars of the interviews which he had had with Mr. Davies, and after attributing the apparent want of chronological arrangement in his detail of them, to his not having been prepared to undergo any examination, proceeded to state the convers ation which he had held with Mr. Davies, as to the refusal o f his ch eques by Messrs. Hanley. He told me (continued the witness) that he would draw two more cheques on that house, one for 2001. in favour of Mrs. lugs, and ar,other for himself, and he expressed a wish that I would precent them. — This was on the 7th of August. He then wrote two letters, one to Messrs. Flankey, desiring them to pay his cheques; and another to me, authorizing me to receive the money. These two letters were put in and read. The first was to this effect :---" Messrs. Henley, I will thank you to discharge the cheques which Mr. Nobler will present to you, and to make up my bwk, and to give me an account of the money which Mrs. Bywater has paid into you on my account since I last saw you. " Yours, &c. " Dated Aug. 7, 1829." " G. E. DAVIES," The second letter was to this effect—date the same as before :—" Mr. Hobler, Sir, , When Messrs. Hankey shall have cashed there cheques, be so good as to pay 2001. to Mrs. Ings, and for the other you will account to me•" The witness's examination was then resumed—l went the next day with Mr. George Bywater to present the cheques at Messrs. Hankey's. For fear of accidents, I wished to have some person present with me. 1 presented the two cheques, and I was told, that under existing circumstances, the house of Hankey and Co. could not think of paying Mr. Davies's cheques. I left the letter addressed to Mes-rs. Hankey with them. One of the COMMISSIONERS—How can that be ? Is not that the letter which Mr. Davies wrote to Messrs. Hankey ? Mr. Hobler—No, only a copy ; for before ha gave me those two letters, he took a copy of them at the table. At the same he gave me a sealed packet. In giving it me he said, " I give you this packet as my hand and deed." I still keep that packet. I have not opened it. Ido not know what is in it. I have never seen its contents. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER was of opinion that this sealed packet should be delivered up to the Commissioners, in order to be inspected for the purpose of the Commission. If the packet con= tained papers of Mr. Davies, which were important and ratio►.al, so much the better for Mr. Davies to have the packet opened and inspected; if it con tained papers of a contrary description, AO much the more necessary was it that the Commissioners and Jurors should be made acquainted with them. Mr. nobler acquiesced in the proposal, and then proceeded in his evidence :—Mr. Davies, I repeat, delivered the sealed packet to me, without stating the nature of its contents. He said—" I deliver it to you, Mr. Hobler, as my act and deed, and I de sire you to preserve it for my benefit." He then said to me laughingly--" I do not wish to make a porter of you, Mr. Hohler, but Dobson will early it to the cab which is waiting for you." I after wards went to visit Mr. Davies, at Clapham. When I fiat called upon him at Dr. Burrows's retreat there, I was not admitted to see him. I afterwards got admittance to him in consequence of an applica t►on which I made to the Lord Chancellor, and of a letter which he wrote to me in reply to deliver to Dr. Burrows. In consequence of that letter, I saw Mr. Davies alone at Clapham. I have seen him altogether about 15 times there. The last time I saw him was, I think, but I am not certain, on Fri day last. Sir C. WETHERELL here desired that for the sake of regularity, the Lord Chancellor's letter, which was dated " Walmer Castle, the 7th of September," should be put in and read. After some discussion this was done; and as that letter alluded to the previous letter w►itten by Mr. Hobler, Sir Charles called for that letter also. It could not he found at the moment; but it was agreed that it should be produced and read in the course of the proceedings to-morrow. The witness then continued : I saw Mr. Edward Davies on the 9th or 10th of September, at Clapham, in consequence of the Lord Chancellor's letter. 1 spoke to him about a con versation which he had had with Dr. Dil‘Michael, who had visited him by order of the Lord Chancel lor. Ile said that Dr. M‘Michael had conversed with him about Mr. Lawrence. They had spoken of the manner in which Mr. Lawrence had got into the College of Surgeons. Mr. Davies said to me that he had told Dr. I%.l‘Michael that he supposed that Mr. Lawrence had put his white hat into mourning for the loss of his radical principles. He said that Dr. M'Michael laughed at this idea much. I talked to him also about his case He was not more agitated than he was before. He was at a table; he had got writing materials before hint, and he had prepared some papers for me. He came to me and whispered into my ear. I told him that I was not deaf. He said, " There are no eyes in the room, but ears .are not far off, and I know that they are in the habit of listening to all I say." I smiled at that; he said that I was not to treat what he told me with contempt, as it was too true. I was conversing with him two or three times. He asked me if I would take refreshment, I said I would. Refreshment was brought in, and some red and white wine : he was in good spirits, and took a glass of wine. The room looked upon a grass-plot, and there were several persons passing on it ; he said " Look at these poor fellows, they are going to play at cricket." That was the fact ; for I saw them with the bat, wickets, &c. I went through the par ticulars of his case with him ; he was prolix, but not incoherent in what he said. There was nothing irrational in his manner or words that day, always making due allowance for his situation. I mean thereby that the idea of being in such a place is cal culated to produce irritation. His answer to my questions were perfectly rational. I always under stood him, and he understood me. In a word, we always understood one another. The information he gave me, and the advice lie offered upon it, were consistent. I never took instructions from any per son who knew more of his own case than Mr. Da vies appeared to know of his. At the next time I saw him, I went into some details of his case. At that time I think, but am not sure, that Mr. Pollard was present. I went through a great many parti culars with him, respecting the points in Sir G. Tuthill's report. I told him that he was accused of having fired off a pistol in a room where his mo ther was, and that he was supposed to have fired it at his mother. The pistol, lie said, was one that he had bought of Belcher, and he was showing it to his mother. He said, that whilst he was doing so, it had gone off—that at that time Mr. Lowe, his clerk, came in—that his mother was not alarmed, but that his clerk was, from smelling powder.— He said that he had then gone to the table, and put a pen in to show Mr. Lowe that it was not then loaded. He also told Lowe that the shot had gone on the floor, having first struck the table foot. He said that about a fortnight afterwards, as he Was walking in his garden at Crouch-hill, his mother asked him whether lie intended to shoot her on that day ? That he was so struck with horror, that he put his hand on her shoulder and said—" Are you not my mother ?—how can you suppose so ?" 1 then asked him about the fire-arms which he kept. He told me that he had bought the pistol of Belcher for 21. or 31.; and he said that his reason for purchasing it was, that his man Williams had been stopped on the road between Crouch-hill and London. He told me that the fowls and rabbits were a present from Belcher, and that he had never seen them, except at Belcher's. On that occasion lie was as perfectly calm arid col lected as a man need to be. He appeared to me to be of sound mind, and capable of conducting his own affairs. I saw him about fifteen times at Clap ham. Our conversations were on business entirely. His demeanour was at all times the same; indeed, he became more cool and collected as the interviews advanced. At the first approach of Mr. Davies there is an appearance about him which might strike you ; hut as he converses with you it goes off. At present I think him decidedly of sound mind. The last time I saw him no man could be more cool and capable of conducting himself rationally. The hurry of his manner, which I ascribed to his situation, has subsided, and entirely gone down, in the last month. The witness was not re-examined by Sir C. WETHERELL. By the ComatisstostEns—He has whispered to me since the explanation which we had cn that point. He gave me a reason for his doing so. He said that since I had been to see him, a friend had called upon him; that his friend, in consequence of what he had said, had left the door a little a-jar; that after talking with him for some time, his friend had silently approached the door; that he had then slaieliladmtoecmd slater said it ei ai v d et i ea o nw l p e . hie n nir t lss l to y thnel t , o ise and ahai:siutthat, alshoulders i so do listening tnee n : esgnditoooot he a all nr. d e conversation which he held with his friends and acquaintances. He had thug, he said, got is habit of whispering, which he admitted to be very foolish' The examination of Mr. Hobler was now brought , to a close. It was proposed to proceed with the examination of Mr. Hands, but the proposition wee,„. abandoned, as it was likely that his examination -0G cross-examination would both run to a considerabl e length. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER then opened the sealed packet which Mr. Hobler had received from lgr! Davies. On examining it he informed the that it contained nothing but the title-deeds . en" the abstract of the title•deeds to Mr. Davies's e state . at , C, ouch-hill. The inquiry was then adjourned till this day, at eleven o'clock. THE MARK TS.

Jestsiph Coleman, ribbon mannfactuter, stated that nit the Morning of thel7tb, about half-past len lork, Mrs. Carter came to their house, and said I'm no more ! I'm no more !" She pressed me to take the key of her house, and go up her stair. where, she said, I Shollid see something that would alcrui me. I plc-fired her to coMpese herself; I then took the key and gave it to Mrs. Coleman; after Mrs. C. went out with the key, she said to me," I am lest for ever ! I am lost for ever! will you speak a word for me ?" I told her I world do any thing I could for her. She appeared to me not to be right in her she was so wild; she was not in the habit of coming to my house. She then sat down, awl stopped there till the constable came and took her into custody. About live minutes after Some one came :o my door, and informed me that Mrs. Carter had murdered Mrs. Wiles's child, but it was not in her hearing. I then went into the kitchen and staid, " What have you done, Mrs. Carter?" Bait she made no answer. I then told her I thought she was lost for ever. She appeared dreadfully dejected. I then went to see the body of deceased, which was lying in Mrs. Carter's front room, quire dead, with a cut in its throat. When I first saw Mrs. Carter, I did no t see an y bl oo d upon her. I then returned to my own house, but had no converstelou with the pri-ioner. Mr. Wiles, mother of the deceased, stated that her daughter was near six years old; lives three doors from Mrs. Carter's. - About half-past ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, my little girl came to me, and said, " mother, I am minding 'Mrs.. Cartel's door ;" I toll her to go back and. not leave the door without some one, to mind it ; about half an hour after I was passing by the yard, where M r s„ Carter had been har7ing Some clothes, and she was then at the litres; :he said to me,'" you are going to the bakehouse;" said " yes ;" . she then said, "your little Be.sy is minding my house; she is a good .hale girl." I then went to the bakehouse, -- and returned in a few minutes; as I was coming •down the lane, I saw •Mrs. Coleman, Avho called me to her ; she had the key of Mrs. Carter's door in lter hand, end said to me, " Mrs. Carter is in our house, and we cannot et her out." She gave me the key, and I unlorkedo he door, and called " Bessy, Bessy !" but received no answer. I then rap up stairs, and there saw my child in the front bed-room, with her feet, towards the door, and a great deal of blood about her, and on looking further I discovered her throat cut and that she was quite dead. By a Juror—The prisoner was very fond of both my little girls, and especially this one, who has fre quently been there, and took many meals with her. Tti'd ward Witberly, labourer, has lodged for some time at Mts. Carter's; identified the razor as Car ter's. When be went to his breakfast on Weitiese day morning, Mrs. Carter was washing; she got his breakfastvas usual ; she had complained - of a pain in her head for the last week, but did not complain that morning. Deceased was in the-habit of going to Carter's hou,e. On Tuesday last Mrs. Coto said to me, that "some one was coming for her ;" and complained of a pain in her head, and appeared very dejected; he talked to her for some time, after vhich she seemed composed and reconciled. The Jury thereupon fonod a verdict of " Wilful Mulder against az ibeth Carter," and she was com mitted accordingly for trial.—Coventry Herald.

As ledge isdiffused, and the administration.of jus - becomes re , tdar and pure, the periods of in the latter, the person in possession is per mitted through the medium of the same forms, to commit an absolute fraud. Every law oto,ht to be a fixed potaive rule to be relaxed only on principles of equity. It is einarary to' all prin ciple, that a party interested_Mould have it in his power to relax the law in his, own favour. It would be idle to defend the principle upon which the obtaining . cf a title by fine and non-claim is supported in our books, namely, the publicity given to the transaction by the fine being matte: of record, and proclaimed in open Court. The supposed publicity is a mere fiction of law, The object of the patty levying the:fine, is to keep the lawful owner in ignorance, and the pro ceeding is effectual only when this . 01)10 is attained. - The fief itiotrs-rceovery in a -lcoittrsive' suit cannot now be the just foundation of any term of prescription. Besides, we are persuaded that the loss of the advantage of this proceeding' by fine and non-claim ‘vill not be often felt. It call scicloin be relied upon for making a marketable tide. It is ma applicable to copyhold land_:, nor to laaes held in ancient demesne, nor t.) many cases of cquitaMc estates ; and it does tint afford pro. tection ,against tights of entry subsequently ac cruing. Like other laws, at variance with the general feelings of mankind, it has given rise to strained decisions by Courts of Justice ; and at present it is sometimes difficult to anticipate whether the parties would or would not be held to Inti.e had a sullicieut estate in the premises to ff:ve effect to the file with proclasnathms. Those who are conversant with transactions in regard to property, must feel that there is no object, however complicated, that could not be effected by a single iustrwnent, expressing in clear and intelligible language the intentio►s of the parties. We can discover no peculiar quality in estates tail, or remainders, or rcversion4 expectant upon them, which should make it expedient to operate upon them only by a flex or recover•. Several ce»turies have passed since fines and recoveries were first - wsed as coannon assurances With some exception P, they seem to have beei since looked upon with a sort of veneration by successive generations of lawyers, who, from their having formed part of their legal studies, and from the working of the machinery having grown familiar to theni, have become insensible to the consideration, that their utility arises solely from the circumstance, that the law has provided no simple and direct means of effecting the im portant objects in regard to real property, tc which these processes have been, as it may be said, forcibly applied. So powerful is habit, that men are satisfied with the elect produced, and disregard the intricacy and expense of the process, and the dangers to which it leads. . We conceive we have shown that fines and common recoveries, together with the whole mass of technical law relating to them, are mere excrescences front the main body of our laws; and with confidence we express our opinion, that the abolition of them would be hi g hly beneficial to the owners of real property, while it would relieve both counsel and solicuors front much useless learning and responsibility ; our opinion is supported by man v learned authorities, and by most of the eminent practitioners of the present day. As warranty, though applicable in some cases to the barring of entails, is ill adapted to the purpose, and out of use, we recommend that it should be abolished, so far as it applies to estates tail ; and that in future there should be only one mode of barring them. As it is our intention hereafter to recommend that contingent and executory interests shall be transferable at law ; there are only two objects effected by fi nes an d common recoveries, for which it \vill'be necessary to provide in our pre sent Report, natheiv; the barring of entails : and the passing and .extinguishing of the estates rights and interests of married women in lands not held by copy of Court roll. To effect these objects it will be advisable that some substitute for fines and common recoveries should be adopted which should operate and take effect without reference to those fictitiOus processes, or -- the laws relating to them, so that the whole of that branch of our laws may in course of time die away, as the substitute shall be gradually in troduced into titles. We propose as the substitute, in every case his being a party' to the sui:istitnte or by a &TA rate deed, without oNaining from him an actual conveyance Oi his cswe. if the concur . rence should be . sigtilfied by a Acparate dced,AVA think it advisable that it should not he allowed to the concurring party to impose any terms the tenant in tail, as the neeessitv of seeing win:— :her he had complied with thcse terms would then be avoided. This will nit prevent the parent or other benefleial owner from requiring the estate to be settled in a reasonable manner for the benefit of the family, as he will always have it in his power to do this. by keeping. back the deed cl concurrence until he is satisfied that die estate his been setiit,•n i 5, stub manner a.s he has required. I f the first. benelicid owner should be a married woman, we leQoininend that her husband should . also be a coneurcieg patty, and that as she will part with no cJate her concur rence should be given without a separate exa mination, and as if she were a femme sole. •ri 111(1 deviation from the present'rule will not. be so great as may at. fir:A sight appear, for in the ma jority of cases the tenant of the imsnediate eta:c of freehold and the first bencaill owner 1%41 he the same person. We have not thonght it ad visable to require the congurrero.- ..-,- r - ; fir it sellitlris; if ever, happens that dower is set out by metes and bounds ; and if such an estate does occur, her concurrence would have only a partial operation, as the estate i 3 confined to a part of the lands entailed. By the new rule which we have here recom mended, an efficient check will be imposed on alienation by tenants in tail in every case in which it can be advisable for the preservation of estates in families,-- and it is preferable, in our opinion, to the present rule requiring- a eon . veyance from the tenant of the freehold ; inat;- much as the first beneficial owner may, by being made merely a consenting, and not a conveyin ,- party, signify his concurrence without affecting his powers or contingent rights or interests, and without letting in the incumbranecs of the re mainder man, which without due caution are the consequences of the present rule; and inastnuclt as the person whose concurrence is necessary must at all times be known or can be readily ascertained, for in every case, 'except where he takes under a power or as tenant by curtesy, it will only be necessary to refer to the deed or v. is by which the estate tail was created, and in - the expected case, which will he of rare occurrence, there will be no difficulty in ascertaining the perssn. The certainty of the person who is to he the concurring party, will add to the security of titles, and will in a great measure relieve them from the mischiefs consequential on the present • rule. N'Ve arc aware that the new rule, as well as the present rule, is open to the objection, that it may place a tenant in tail at the metcy of a rapacious concurring party, but this is unavoidable where the concurring party is to exercise a discretion ; we think, however, that abuses are less likely to occur under the new rule. than under the !re sent rule, because, generally speaking, the rrst beneficial owner is connected by blood with the tenant in tail, and is in most cases his parent, and in no case will a stranger claiming by alie don be a concurring party. As the consequence of the new rule will be to make the power of withholding the concurrence personal to the first beneficial owner and not in &dent to his estate, it will be necessary to pro vide against the difficult questions which might otherwise arise in equity, with respect to con tracts fsit withholding concurrence, and to the :•oneurrence beii!!! in any case considered as a breach of trii , t, - We think that this would be best accomplished, by declaring that any contract by the copcurring party to withhold his concur rence should be merely , void AFlta Court of

This entertaining little Theatre opened on Saturday • night, for the season, With MOZART'S well known Opera of Cosi fan tulle, altered and arranged for the English stage, under the title of Tit for Tat. or the Tables Tu . :wit, and a new Operetta entitled The Middle Te 'Vie, rr IVhich is my Son ? The first piece was ployed with the stone cast of performers es last season, with #ltt exception .of 31,1dattIC CE NI, who represented Despina, and whose voice is a clear melodi,,us soprano. The plot of the Operetta, which is shnder, is something to the following effect Prettyman (W. BEN NETT) has a son (WRENcit), who, as be tells Airs. .Middlemist (Mrs.. .losEs), somewhat unnecessarily, was born " preparatory to wedlock." This son. some how or other, has been firm: his infancy lost sight of by his father amid mother ; but, by means equally inexplicable, he is end of as residing in the Middle Temple, under the name of Briejless. practising law. Mietless in practice as well as in name, this somairpears reduced to . the single coat he - wear , ow his • having withheld no other garment of th e kind from the pawnbroker's than an old livery, which serves the purpose of keeping off duns, who, under its disguis", are informed that " mas'er is not at home." Air. Briejlrss tak, s occasion to treat the audience with the delivery of a mock addrrss to the bench and jury at.court, which possesses nothing to excuse its extreme length, and justify the patient heating some portions of the audience appeared anxious to secure it. The orator is visited soon after by his father ; but taking him for a stranger, and always suspicious of his visitors' intentions, he withdraws to another room, and sends the Barber's Boy (KZELEY). who had called to clean boots, to personate the " briefless" barrister. Here a qui pro quo ensues, which is only ren dered amusing by the aid of KEELEY'S broad farce,—an aid, indeed, which, in this and other scenes, ultimately Sava d the piece from an unfavourable verdict. The incidents close abruptly, by the recognition of the trite son, who is rewarded with the hand of Airs. Middlemist's niece, Julia (Miss 11. CawsE), whilst her suivante Penelope (Mrs. KEELEY, " late Miss Gowartn"), falls to the share of her legitimate " lord and master," whose name she for the first time rublicly assumed since her marriage. —The perh,rmances closed with the quartette, and were through out received with much favour.

TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE TURKISH ARMY. By the Prussian State Gazette, of the 23d Ist., we have received news of an important character from the theatre of war. h appears that a battle took place at Shumla OM the 11th of June, in which the GRAND VIZIER was otally defea'ed with the loss of all his artillery, consistit g of forty pieces of cannon, his ammu nition, baggage, and a great quantity of pro visions. Indeed, so complete was the defeat of the Turks that the , Russian General (lid not con skier it necessary to wait for a detail of the par- ticulars, but despatched his Aide de-Camp at once from the field of battle to announce the re sult of his first decisive movement against the GRAND VIZIER, who commanded a force of 35,000 men in the field, all of whom were either killed, wounded, or dispersed. It Was to be expected that Count DIEBITSCH would endeavour to signalize his promotion to the chief command of the army by some achieve ment of importance, and the wonder was that lie sat down before Silistria when he might have displayed the discipline of his army by more effective operations in the field. However, this may be accounted for from the fact that he could not find the Turks in the open plain, and his army was not sufficiently strong to storm their forts. But the General, while besieging Silistria, was looking out for a►►y opportunity that might present itself in another quarter ; and, accordingly, on the sth of June, hearing that the GRAND VIZIER had left his entrenched camp at Shumla for the pur pose of attacking Pravadi, General DIEBITSCII left Silistria for the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the GRAND VIZIER from Shumla. This manceuvre appears to have been executed with as much success as boldness. After a march of three days, Count DIEBITSCII, having arrived in the valley of Madara, learned that the GRAND VIZIER, after an unsuccessful attack on Pravadi, was at Jenibazar, intending to return to Shumla. In fact, the VtztEß was coming out of the defile of Markosstscha when he was previously attacked by the Russians and forced back into it again, where a most desperate engagement ensued. The consequence was that his whole army was ut terly destroyed or dispersed. The number of killed and wounded was not known ; but, taking the account even as the Russians have given it, the loss of the Turks must have been great. The fugitives could only escape the slaughter by seeking shelter in the woods. The result of this affair must prove highly disastrous to the Turks. The GRAND VIZIER, when he hazarded a movement of so much con- sequence as attacking the Russians in the field, no doubt selected his best troops—and these arc now destroyed, or rendered, perhaps, unfit for war—if they ever contrive to return to Shumla. The fatal consequence of this battle to the Turks may be the fall of Silistria—if not Shumla, unless speedily reinforced. The temerity of the GRAND VIZIER was therefore the more culpable because he was strong in his fortifica tions and natural defences of the country, and ought not to have thrown a chance away which le watchful eye of his more experienced enemy would be sure to turn to the best advantage.— The following is the official announcement of this battle : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, JUNE 22. WARSAW, JUNE 19.—According to a bul letin received here to-day, a battle took place at Shumla on the 11th of this month, in which the Grand Vizier was totally defeated, and lost all .s artillery. The above-mentioned bulletin expresses itself the following terms : " General Count Diebitsch obtained, on the 11th inst., a brilliant victory over the Turkish army, under the walls of Shumla. Being in formed that the Grand Vizier had left his en trenched camp, and marched towards Pravadi, the General left Silistria on the sth of June, to lace himself on the line of communication of the Turkish army and cut off its retreat. This ma s::etivre, which was executed with equal hold iess and skill, was crowned with the most plendid success. After a fatiguing march of hree days, the General having arrived in the valley of Madam, learned that the Grand Vizier, after an unsuccessful attack on Pravadi, was at Jenibazar, and intended to return to Shumla. In fact, o►► the following day, he came out of the defile of Markowtscha, but was im mediately attacked and forced back into the de fi►le. After a most obstinate engagement, he lost all his artillery, consisting of above forty cannon, his ammunition and baggage, and a great quantity of provisions. His army consist ing of 35,000 effective men, including twenty regiments of regular infantry, is utterly dispersed. All those that escaped the slaut 4 hter fled in va rious directions into the woods. " Prince Trubetzkoi, Aid-de-camp of Gene ral Diebitsch, the bearer of this news, left the field immediately after the conclusion of the battle ; the loss of the enemy in killed, wounded, and prisoners, was not known at the time of his departure." (The Prussian State Gazette contains the following article, from the Turkish frontiers, without any date. " A part of the corps besieging Silistri.t is on the point of marching towards Pravadi, as Red schid Pac!la has marched from Shumla against General Roth.

Since writing the above we have received an Extraordinary Slit lenient of the Prussian State Gazelle, which contains a detailed account of the battle : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.•. (Extraordinary Supplement to the Prussian State Gazette.) BERLIN, JUNE 23• Translation of a report from the Commander in Chief of the second army to his Majesty the Emperor, of 31st May (12th June) : " May it please your Majesty—l hasten to con gratulate you on a complete victory obtained by your Majesty's army on the 30th May (11th June), near the village of Kuleascha, near Shumla, over the Grand Vizier. " My report of the 4th June has acquainted your Majesty with my march from the camp before Silistria, with the corps of Count Pallier), partly for the purpose of joining General Roth, and partly to relieve the fortified town of Pravadi, which had been invested for ten days by the Grand Vizier. In order to attain this double object, and at the same time induce the Grand Vizier, it possible, to engage in a battle, I resolved to make myself master with all speed of his line of communication with Shumla. With this view I set out from Silistria on the sth, leaving the further prosecution of the siege of that fortress to Lieut.-Gen. Grassoffsky. "The indefatigable efforts of the Gth division of Pioneers, succeeded in opening us a passage in spite of the extraordinary difficulties of the ground, and made it possible for me, after a pre vious junction with Gen. Roth, to occupy on the 29th, after a night's march,all the defiles and passes in the rear of the enemy, by which he drew his ammunition and provisions from Shumla. My forced march with the corps of Count Pahlen was covered by several of our partisans, performed with the greatest caution, and remained wholly unknown to the enemy. The astonished Vizier did not receive the first news of 'our ap proach till the defile at Mania (called Madarda in the maps) was occupied by our troops. — Even then he did not presage the danger which threatened him in its whole extent, but ima gined that his new adversary was a corps of about 10,000 men detached by General Roth, the only object of which was to threaten his line of communication. llowever, even on this supposition, he thought it neces sary to raise the siege of Pravadi, and ad vance his whole army towards the defiles of Kulertscha, in the full persuasion that he should be able entirely to destroy our feeble corps. " About 100 prisoners, who were picked up on the 28th and 29th by my vanguard, under Lieu tenant-General Baron Kreutz, on the road from Turk-Amantlar to Jenibazar, and farther to- wards Shumla, unanimously affirmed that the Grand Vizier, with an army of m ore th an 40,000, was in perfect security near Pravadi, without the least notion of our approach. This favourable circumstance enabled me to have all the roads by which the retreat of the Grand Vizier seemed practicable most carefully reconnoitred at day-break, on the 11th, and about nine o'clock in the same morning to undertake a strong reconnoissance, with 10 battalions of in fantry, four squadrons, and 12 cannon, on the road which leads from Monkovtscha, through Kopareva, to Maraschritiis last Ovitte Was f oun d e d on the information of several prisoners, taken in the defile tear Madara, who said that the Grand Vizier had resolved to take that road with the body of his army. " The enemy at first did not oppose more than about 3,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to the above-mentioned strong reconnoitring party ; but, on the nearer approach of our co lumns, he displayed all his forces in regular squares of infantry, and well-disposed columns of cavalry, supported by numerous artillery. Ac cording to the account of the prisoners, this army consisted of 22 regiments of regular in fantry, some regiments Of regular cavalry, and above 15,000 Anatolian infantry and cavalry. " Our brave troops burned with impatience to engage the enemy, and a most sanguinary battle ensued, so that I was obliged, at the very beginning to make a reserve of two brigades of infantry, and with their artillery, and a brigade of cavalry, with a company of horse artillery, ad vance into the fire. This reinforcement, and espe cially the boldness of the 19:11 company of horse artillery, which, under the personal command of the brave Major-Gen. Arnoldi, did the enemy gre_at damage, and also several attacks undertaken and executed with the greatest resolution by the Parlsgrad and Irkutsk regiments of Hussars, oh . tained us a considerable superiority, notwith• standing which the battle continued with great obstinacy on both sides, till at length the enemy was compelled to retreat into an advantageous position covered by wood, leaving the field of battle covered with a great part of his regular troops who had fallen in the action. _ _ _ " "After a murderous combat of four hours, the fire which the exhausted troops could not continue, entirely ceased on both sides. I made use of this interval of repose to take such farther measures as appeared to me necessary for the entire defeat of the Grand Vizier; accordingly the Gth division of infantry was relieved, and the sth took its place ; I reinforced the second divi sion of Hussars with the 3d, and the whole line with a reserve formed of the 16th and 19th divisions of infantry ; and to Lieutenant-Ge neral Baron Krentz, who was stationed towards Shumla, I sent as a reserve the 3d brigade of the 11th division, and the Hulans of the Bug with their artillery. " These new measures, and the extraordinary loss which the enemy's army had already sus tained in the engagement, produced an entire discouragement in the Grand Vizier. He called a - Council of War (as we learned from a Bi►n baschi who was taken prisoner), and - re Solved upon it to retreat, by way of Kopareva, to Ma tasch. The deliberations of the enemy's Gene rals were not yet concluded, when our columns advanced from diflerent sides and began the at tack. Our horse artillery, under the protection of the five divisions of infantry and 16th brigade of artillery, clew up several of the enemy's ammunition waggons by their first shot. This circumstance produced an evident terror in the enerny's ranks, and a particular wavering in his • whole line seemed to indicate that he would speedily give way. Mean time our troops ad vanced in quick time, The Grand Vizier's army, however, did not wait for their at tack, but having discharged all their artillery immediately commenced a general flight, aban doning forty cannon, with all the ammunition waggons, the camp, and their whole baggage.— Besides this, above 2,000 of the enemy were killed, and 1,500 taken prisoners. " This happened at four o'clock in the after noon. " A captive Bimbaschi and several of the enemy's most distinguished officers, unanimously declare that the Grand Vizier's army has not been merely defeated, but that it may be consi dered as completely disorganized, the Vizier him self having escaped with difficulty, accompanied by a small body of cavalry. The road, however, by winch he retreated was peculiarly favourable to his flight, passing for eight worsts through a forest, and so completely blocked up by waggo►.ns, that it will be necessary to employ a detachment of infantry, for the express purpose of removing them, in order to open a way for our artillery. " Immediately on the departure of the pre sent despatch, I shall break up with the whole of my troops fbr Marash, in the hope of their overtaking the Vizier with the remnant of his army. The God of Battle grant us his blessing, that we play annihilate them ! " Our loss in this sanguinary battle is, alas ! not trifling, particularly in the Muroff regiment of infantry, in the 12th rifle regiment, and in the Irkutsk hussars. Gallantly, as befitted the troops of your Imperial Majesty, they rushed into the well-directed fire of the enemy, and many of the brave fellows joyfully perished in the cause of their faith, their Emperor, and their country. Among the wounded are Majors-General Ohosteheuke and Glasenapp ; among the dead Lieutenant-Colonel Remling, who commanded ad interim the 12th Rifle Regiment. A more detailed statement of our loss, and a list of those who have personally distinguished themselves in this memorable affair, I shall not fail to forward to your Mz'iestr• I place at your Majesty's feet two standards w hi c h have just been sent in by General Count who is charged w ith t h e pursu i t o f t h e el'Haelnlll7., (, p.

On the 13th inst., when running through the channel between St. George and Terceira, we saw two large ships to windward, One of which gave chace to us. We made all sail, steering N.N.E. ; at 10 a.m. she fire I a gun shotted, and finding it impossible to get away, the ship coming up to us, we hove to. She rroved to Le a large frigate under Portuguese colours, which hove to windward of us about pistol-shot, manned and armed her large cutter. They came alongside and boarded. We asked if there was war, us they were boarding in so hostile a manner with an armed force. The officer in charge, after examining our papers, replied, No war with Eng land.' We then asked the reason for coming on board with armed men ; the officer replied, c To take you up to the commodore cruising off the city of Angr 1, which is under blockade. lie was remonstrated with for such il legal proceegings, but he pleaded his ord e rs, and remained on board with 12 marines armed. one marine officer, and one interpreter to enforce them. Finding it impossible to re sist this armed force, and fully expecting the Commodore would release us before night, we attempted to work to windward. At six p.m., findir* the Commodore fuither - to windward than at noon, and having a fair wind to pro ceed through the channel, I hove to to speak to the Capta'n of the frigate, He sent his Second Lieutenant to know the reason of our heaving to, when the Lieutenant was again talc! that we protested against such illegal pro ceedings, and requested to ask his Capt tin permis sion to proceed on our voyage without further de• bention ; the Captain adding, that if he stil!, by force of arms detained us, he should consider himself a pr'soner, and the British ship under his command wholly under the charge and responsibility of the Captain. The Captain, at seven p. m., sent on board his First Lieutenant with about thirty more men, and took charge, hauling down the ensign at eight p. m. We then wore ship mid fol lowed the motions of the frigate. At daylight on Sa turday morning the Commodore still further to windward than last night. At one p. m. the frigate made a sign d to the Commodore ; he bore down and communicated with the frigates. The frigate bore down to us at haV-past four, sent his Second Lieutenant with his boats fur the mar inns and sailors, and acquainted our Captain that he had now permission from his Admiral to proceed.

Since this day se'nnight the Wheat trade has been so heavy, that prices may be re ported 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower ; but baying a fair at tendance of country buyers this mo ' g, the hest parcel , are not any cheaper than on Friday. Barley meets a -law. guid sale at List gootstions. Time is not much doing is Peas or Bean, but the rates are unaltered. The trade f r Oats is very slack, and the prices of all, unless very fine samples, are reduced is. p. r quarter since last Mon day. The Flour trade is very dull, and some qualities are selling at less prices than recently. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —5. White (old) --- Red (1828) -- Fine 5Y*. 535.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. rORTSMOUTU, JUNE 27.—The North Star, 28, Captain Arabia, and the. Lord Wellington trans port, commissioned as a man•of--war, by Captain it J. G. Sinclair, Bart., late of the .Doris frigate, Were at Rio de Janeiro on the 26th of April last, and would shortly sail for England. Lord Strang ford returns to England in the North Sear. The Seringapatam, 46 guns, Hon. Captain Walde . - grave, will sail on Tuesday for the South American station. She will call in at Brest to take on board Mr. Pennell and family, which gentleman is ap pointed to the Consulate. for this country at the Brazils. Mr. I.)rummond Hay, who is appointed British Consul General and Government Agent, in the Empire of Morocco, and family, go out in the Favourite, 18, Commander Joseph Harrison. The Southampton' frigate was passed on the Ist inst., within eight degrees of the Line. The Trinculo, 18, was paid off at Plymouth, on Tuesday, and was recommissioned on Wednesday, by Commodore Samuel Prier,for Channel service.-- Lent. W. Webber, and Mr. Wm. Barrett, purser, are appointed to her. 'Commander Thomas Dickinson is appointed to t'm Lightning, 18, recently launched at his Majesly's Dock-yard, Pembroke. She has been this week commissioned at Plymouth, by Lieutenant Delafons, and is ordered to fit for a foreign station. Mr. Harvey Morris, Extra Hospital Mate of his M.ijesty's Royal Naval Hospital, at Hadar, is ap pointed Assitant-Surgeon of his Majesty's Naval Establishment, at the Island of Ascension. The Reynard brig, is ordered to be brought for- Ward forthwith for the packet service, Lieut. Duns lord being appointed to command her. The Speedy and Sylvia cutters arrived on Sun day front Guernsey. The Sparrow cutter sailed on Monday,_ and the Snipe cutter on Tuesday, on it cruise. The latter returned yesterday. At Spithead—Briton, Seringapatam, and Pallas. In the Harbour, Victory, Melville, Athol, Favorite. The brig Ocean, Lock, from Sierra Leone, ar rived here on Moodily. This vessel touched at Ter ceira, and was there charged with a mail bag for England, of which she was robbed on the day she quitted the island by a frigate under Portuguese colours, when the bag was opened and the Portu guese letters taken out. The English letters were returned. We regret an English man-of-war was not present at the moment to avenge this unparal leled insult to the British flag. The cutter John and Mary, of Jersey, foundered off Corunna on the 14th instant. Her crew was landed here on Wednesday. The following Indiamen have passed by for the River during the week :—On Thursday the Atlas, Hunt, from Calcutta 25th January; the Thalia, Bider, from Calcutta 3d March ; liarretti, Junior, from Madras. Yesterday the Hackney, from Bom bay, landed her passengers here; as did also the Malcolm, from Madras. To-day passed by the Lady Blackwood, from ew South Wales. By letters from Foule Point, Madagascar, of the 3d March, it appears since the death of Radar»a, King of that Island, and instantly after the arrange- Merit of mourr.ing, and settling its ceremony, the Queen assembled all the Chiefs of the various ex tensive provinces at the capital : and those that were known to have expressed a wish, on the death of th e late King, for his relations to succeed to the Throne, were put to death, as well as a long list of Princes and Princesses of the blood of Radama. The whole island was in a state of commotion; the Arabs and Madagasse of the beautiful and fertile kingdom of Betnhatooka, had declared for their old King, subdued by Radama's troops, Ivlten his Ma jesty's ship Andromache was off Majtmga, in Bern batooka Bay, with a squadron. The Queen had ordered the English Government Agent from the capital, and the Missionaries expected orders to . ytint momentarily. She had also expressed her de testation of the British nation, and only the wife of Mr. Harty, the late Government Agent, recently returned, after the death of her husband, at Port Louis, Mauritius, was permitted to remain, and.she w a s :greatly in her confidence. Iler sole adviser was the son of the Madagascar ‘vho was some little time ago beheaded at the Mauritius, for attempting to raise an insurrection when at Port Louis. The Queen having declared her intention to reject the annual gift of dollars for the suppression of the Slave Trade, it was expected that the island would retrograde to its wonted state of barbarity and slave traffic. Not one Prince or Princess of the bloo lof Radarna is left to lay claim to the sovereignty of the island. The Colombia, one of the line of packets between this port and New York, arrived this morning, in 21 days, from Sandy Hook. Our packet of New York Daily Advertisers, which reach to the Ist inst., convey little information of interest. It appears from these that the public monies of our Trans -Atlantic brethren are equally liable with those of this country, notwithstanding the free access to in quiry which prevails in the United States, to Mis appropriation. It seems that the Corporation of the city of New York expends annually upwards of a million of dollars—an excess, for the explanation of Avhich an inquiry was on the point of being insti tuted. A true bill had been found against Miller, Oates, and Williams, the three individuals at Sa• vannah who had illegally arrested and detained Mr. Rowland Stephenson. Mr. Maddison, the late Pre• sident of the United States, we regret to learn, was dangerously ill at his seat, Orange, in Virginia. — 'the Americans complain greatly of the \Vest India trade both with our islands and with St. Domingo, the number of •vessels trading having completely glutted the market. The Haytian Government had also imposed an additional duty of 10 per cent. on cargoes brought in American vessels, in retaliation for a want of liberal feeling in America toward ves sels of that sable Government ; and this would even be rendered still worse, the President of Hayti hav ing recently signed a Treaty with the French Go %%Tim-lent, by which French cargoes were to be ad mitted at half duty. We rejoice to find that several pirates have been captured ; a desperate fellow, of the name of Ameida, who was signally of use to the Ameticans, in the late war with England, had been executed at Porto Rico, and five others had been bung at the Havannah. As a proof that the Ame ricans begin to indulge in luxuries, we observe that green peas were sold in Philadelphia market at six dollars the bushel. According to the census just presented to the American Congress, the population of the United States is 13,000,000. The Constel lation, of 44 guns, had been ordered to be fitted for sea. Several District Banks had been obliged to stop payment. Some extensive manufactories for forging the Local Batik Notes have lately been de tected. Viscount Melville and Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir H. Hotham arrived here on Sunday evening on an official visit, and dined with the Commander-in- Chi e f, Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, X.C.B. On Monday morning his Lordship arid Sir Henry Hotham visited Earl Spencer at Ryde, and afterwards inspected the buildings in progress con bected with the new Victualling Establishment at \Yeovil. On the following day be attended the half-yearly examination of the Students at the Royal Naval College, and dined in the evening with Com. missioner Sir Michael Seymour, Bart., K.C.8., at his residence in the Dock-yard. On Wednesday morning his Lordship embarked in the barge of the Commander-in-Chief, and repaired, attended by the "boats of the several Naval Captains, which moved procession to his Majesty's ship Victory (flag- S hip), where he was received with the ship's crew at quarters. On the Admiralty flag being hoisted, 'the usual general salute was gi% en from the men of mar at the port. After his Lordship had inspected 'the Victory, he landed, and having p waken of re freshment with the Commander-in-Chief, returned, With Sir H. Hotham, to the Admiralty. His Grace the Archbishop of York and family, t present sojourning ‘‘ith tl eir N. ble relative, '"rd Vernon, at St. Clair, near Ryde, paid a visit 'to this port on Wednesday. Lis Grace came,.over in the Lightning steamer, and viewed the Dock-yard and the Victmy h'p. • DEVONPORT, Jt Mjcst ) 's sloop Lightning, IS, was «ynaii,sioaiql I , r foreign ser vice on Vint sd,v, by Lieut. 11.

The Anniversary Breakfast of this Society was given on Saturday ; and although it forms one of the principal attractions of the fashionable season, and is looked forwar,l to with more anxiety than any other fete, either public or pirate, we are sorry to ray that on this, as on many former occasions, the Directors have been exceedingly unfortunate in their selection of the day. We are well aware of the I necessity of appointing a time when there is the' greatest probability of procuring a good show of • those fruits upon the culture and improvement of which the Society most prides itself, and for which it was indeed originally constituted ; and we tlere fore admit that it is necessary to fix die time fi►r the annual fete, or we ought rather to say " the spew," when those fruits are in the greatest perfection; but we still are inclined to think, in common with many of the sinferers of Saturday, that the Directors should retain the power of postponing this exhibi tion, on those occasions, when there seems to be no fair probability of that enjoyment which the visitors are enttled to expect. For this reason we of to the constant nomination of Saturday for the an nual banquet ; because, from the perishable nature of the luxuties provided for the entertainment, it is im possible to postpone it over Sunday unt.l Monday, although the delay of a single day :night not be productive of the slightest inconvenience. This, we believe, was the predominant feeling of the greater number of the three thousand persons who were on Saturday subjected to the inching of one of the most pitiless storms of our English summer. The night had been stormy, the morning was un propitious, and notwithstanding a slight gleam of sunshine, about one o'clock there was every appear ance of what our neighbours beyond the Tweed call a " drawky day"—most truly did it prove so ; but as there appeared no announcement on the part of the Directors to put off the day of expected plea sure, a vast number of respectable equipages began about two o'clock' to crowd the road towards Chis wick. At three o'clock, notwithstanding the very unfavourable appearance of the atmosphere, there were, probably, three thousand persons of the first respectability assembled in the gardens, all enjoying the delightful promenades which it affords, and not a few waiting with some anxiety for the opening of the refreshment booths, which was announced to take place at half-past three. At that hour a num ber of persons assembled before the entrance, but in consequence of some disappointment in the arrange ments (we believe arising from the non-arrival of the Duke of Sussex), the breaVast was not attainable until four o'clock; an hour at which the greater portion of the company had been compelled to seek shelter from the heavy rain inn the more dis tant tents provided for their accommodation. The consequence was, that,the ladies, adorned in silks of all the hues of the raintow, and treading in shoes fitted for those quadrilles to which Weippea's band was intended to form a stimulant, were compelled, after hours of patient endurance, to tread their way to the refreshment tents through oceans of mud, and under the pelting of cue of the heaviest rains of the season. We, however, do Messrs. Gunter the jus tice to say, that when the pilgrimage ended, enough was provided for the enjoyment of the lovers of good eating and drinking at the shrine which they sought. Evety substantial eatable of the season, united with many of its delicacies and varieties, were to be furor] in profusion; and wines of all kinds, from humble port to claret, hock, and champagne, were distributed with a liberality to which the spirits of some of the gentlemen, notwithstanding the un propitious state of the weather, bore ample testi mony. It etas said of Louis the Fourteenth, that he must be counted among the gluttons of his age, be cause he ate two or three plates of soup, a pheasant, a partridge, a plate of salad, a plate of mutton dressed with gravy and garlic, two slices of ham, and a plate of pastry, at a single sitting. If, how ever, those who considered the Grand Monarque a great feeder, had witnessed the exertions of some of those who were collected round the tables on Saturday, they must have either restrained their censure, or been satisfied that the vice of gormandizing was not confined to the House of Bourbon. Dishes of fowl and of veal pies and salads, disappeared almost magically. One gentle man, who had complained much of the delay of what he called his lunch, actually devoured, while we stood near him, a whole pie, a dish of veal and ham, another of lobster salad, another of jelly, arid so many strawberries, that we dare not pretend to calculate the quantity. Of the wine he drank we take no count, because it was gently blended with the eatables, and formed, we presume, but a prelude to the excesses of the evening. It was well indeed for Mr. Gunter that this gentleman cannot be pre sented as a specimen of the company, although we have no doubt, from what came under our immediate vision, that there were very many of the same species collected to do justice to his exertions us a caterer. We cannot say much of the exhibition of the fruits on this occasion. We happened to be among those unhappy persons who were prevented from enjoying their distribution ; butt, as far as eve could see, on the cursory examination of the morn ing, there was nothing among the strawberry speci mens to be compared with the established favourites —Wiltnot's Superb and Knyvett's Pine. Some of Kean"s seedlings, exhibited on this occasion, though not remarkable for size, possessed, however, a very exquisite flavour. In grapes, the Muscat of Alexandria sum passed all others in size and appearance. Of pine apples there was a respectable show, but, alto ' pater, we. think the .4xhibition of this year (whe ther from the lsackwaTilness of the season, or from other causes, we know not) much inferior to the last. The gardens were fitted up with tents and marquees, with the usual elegant and picturesque arrangement, precisely, indeed, as they appeared last year; and the Messrs. Gunter did every thing in their power, by the aid of boards and baskets, to obviate those' complaints'against the impassibility of the walks which we heard last year. It was out of their power, however, to contend against the satu rating rain which fell in the course of the day, and the walks became, therefore, not so much from their original softness as from the constant induration of clogs and shoes, a terror to tell passengers. The Tyrolese Minstrels and Les Trois Troubadours were engaged to perform in the course of the evening, on a stage prepared for their reception, but the unfa vourable state of the weather prevented these, like all other amusements, from being presented to the company. We recognised many persons of distinc tion among the throng; and we believe we give ut terance to the general feeling, when we say that no thing but the unpropitious state of the weather de prived them of the utmost enjoyment which they an ticipated. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. This affair took place on Saturday, and a very foul affair it was, as all those who were at it well know, and will not easily forget. But as there are many worthy people who were not there, we will endeavour to describe it, for their edification and future government in such matters. The weather, as everybody within twenty miles of London well knows, was as bad as weather well could be for any such out-of-door doings. The ba rometer stood at " Rain;" the welkin was wofully overcast, and every thing betokened a regular soak jug day; but all this could not prevent the " Ga tliering"---ina-stritieh as the had been viid for, and there was a c!m.nce tli.it the weather might be kiml enough to ( lear up, which it certainly ought to lifrve. done—if it had kid any gallart:ry or kind ness in it—for the ladies came forth in their best and lightest fair-weather hire mudins and satin ,andal., tratil,irunt eossnmer I.ats, stir mounted by noddile 4 bompiets, finer thAti any of Nature's makiag in Hie conserva!ory. and woe are we ! to have seen what there we saw —many a fair starched muslin skirt of six yards cir cumference reluved to a solvethiw: like a mere clese-clipping dreadfully-damp chemise, in less than one short hour ; and many 4 , crisped, snaky lock., that made such t%atiton gambols in the wind," con vened in as short a time to heavy dangling rats'- tails ! Your rain is a mortally relaxing enemy to stan] and stiffening of all sorts. With respect to the - number of personages, per sons, awl people, present and subjected to this; tentwing °rest:, we cannot estinuee th em . w e did hear that. seven thousand tickets were issued— (tno thousand of them in One day at the. advanced price"—two guineas each)—and, juilgitig from the multitude of carriages outside, and the crowded con dition of those extet.sive gardens (tmards of ninety acres), we should suppose every ticket was brought in. The delights prepared for this crowd of gay and gallant intellectuals were, its usual, a breayitst at four o'clock in the afternoon—a dejeune rt la four chette as the learned call it ; a superlatively beautiful prornenoir (for such a young one); a dance on the green sward (if agreeable): and a sort of 'ion con certo concert, vocal and instrumental, cis il and mili tary. The operators engaged to supply these va riot's delights were, first, for the breakfast, Mr. Gunter—than whom no man knows better how l 0 break a fast, "and, knowing, dares rrforw." Sec mdly, for the dance, Wieppert's band ; and Litolff 's ditto. Thirdly, for the concert 71072 con certo, Messieurs the bands of the Life Guards, the Foot Guards and the Royal Artillery,—one band of each denomination ; les Troubadours, and the Rainers—the announcement of Mach latter might possibly be considered by some folks as ominous of the evreme raininess of the day. Thirdly, the pro »ienoir,- by the Horticulturals themselves;—smooth shaven lawns and bowers and borders of all rare plants, and gay marquees ; and many other very pleasant appliances :—though we cannot say we much admired the flowery device over the principal gateway, nor the jets Wean on the Lilliputian lakes, with which their lawns are beautified. The device was pretty, and apt enough—a bee-hive surmount ed by a cornucopia, and the cornucopia surmounted by a Royal crown, and the whole was very ingeni ously formed of closely woven roses and other flowers ;—though there were some folks among the company who likened the cornucopia to a pottle of strawberries—oudgre the fire little bunches of grapes which might plainly be seen in the mouth of it. But the jets d'cau ! Oh, the fates deliver us from such jets d'eau ! with their tiay-soused-gur net-looking cast-iron dolphins, in bright brass col- 1 lars, inscribed " W. 11. Rowley, patentrc!" And now for the eatables and the drinkables.— These matters are always the most interesting Putt of the business in affairs of this kind ; and the Com mittee of ;Management being now well aware of that fact, had not only made ample preparations for the " feeding," but they took especial care to point out the scene of intended action by hoisting a number of and ensigns, among which the Royal Standard of England floated majestically above the rest. In an open space, of nearly an acre in extent, and I newly gravelled, the tables for the d(jeune a la Jim' , ebelie were laid out in squares, and quadrangles, and. paralellograms, beneath white awnings fes tooned with green ; and those almost interminable tables were abundantly covered with cold chicken an 1 hams, spiced meats, and lobster salads, and pies, jellies, Mane mange, and all other cold nourishment of the best and most fashionable reputation; with pot t, sherry, hock, claret, champagne, and many other wines of excellent quali y and in _unbounded, quantity ; but the whole was fenced in and guarded by divers constables and artillerymen, so that those for whom it was prepared could not get at it until the proper feedingtime—half-past three o'clock p.m. Close to this area was another, of less extent, but large enough to contain two tables of sixty yards in length, the one covered with the choicest fruits, the other with preparations for tea, coffee, and ices, and both covered with white awnings, festooned with bright green. To this area the company were freely admitted until three o'clock, in order that they might see the exhibition of fruit before it was cut up, mid a very beautiful exhibition it was. Fifty-seven noble pines of every variety, interspersed alternately with growing vines in full bearing, graced the middle of the tal.le in long perspective ; and heaps of melons, strawberries, cherries, shaddocks, grapes, in endless variety, and of the finest growth, many of them the contributions of noble and gentle horticulturists in different parts of the kingdom, were set forth on every side in the most lavish abundance. So much for thefixd; and now for the feeding:— Half--past three p.m. was the time stipulated for throwing open the gates of the feeding places ; but, for more than an hour before that time, the gates were surrounded, five hundred deep, by the gaily attired but hungry multitude, gazing over the fence, with water in their mouths and mud at their feet, beneath seven acres of umbrellaa—for during all that time it rained incessantly. Great was the grumbling of gizzards and of tongues at the delay; and dreary were the drippings:of the umbrellas and parasols upon the frills, furbelows, and frippery below ; whilst ever' and anon, now here, and now in the distance, you might hear small shrill voices demanding—" Why don't they open the gates ?—Good Heavens ! why don't they open the gates ?" Alack and well-a-day! --the Heaven did open its gates more and more every minute; and the rain descended therefrom more and more heavily every minute; butt the keepers of the feeding Lanier were inexorable, and stood dry and comfortable behind their counters, looking upon the dripping multitude with the most provok ing apathy. At length, two very stout gentlemen, the foremost of the crowd, could bear it no longer; —whether their bowels yearted for lobster salad— whether they were impelled by hunger, anger, or gallantry, or by all those motives of action com bined—we know not; but so it was that, rushing forward through the broad border of rose trees which surrounded the barrier, they seized upon the barrier itself, and by dint. of much desperate tug ging and great loss of wind, they speedily effected a bleach therein, and tumbled through it, amidst th , e , " bravos!" of the crowd without, and the " shame! of the waiters and constables within. At this awful moment the rain began to come down in torrents — yes, in cataracts; and hundreds of fair ladies, seeing both food and shelter immediately before them, and inspired by the courage of the two stout gentlemen, rushed after them pell-mell through the breach, un mindful of the thorns among the roses and the tho roughiy-soaked soil through which they had to wade their way ankle deep. Fine fun this, for the dress makers, shoemakers, and doctors ! The stuffing au thorities within, perceiving that the place was no longer tenable, now ordered the gates to be opened and in one minute every tent and awning was crowd ed to an overflow. Indeed there was not shelter for one-half of the besiegers, and they were com pelled to retrace their painful steps through the gravel, the mud, and the water, to seek refuge where they might —among the tents and shrubs on the lawn, or under their parasols and umbrellas, and the storm all the while continuing to pelt them most piteously. In fact, the scene, as we newspaper folks say, beggared all description ; and if the reader imagines the worst he will hardly come up to the sad reality. Those who were leaky enough td en sconce themselves at the tables beneath the awnings were but little better off, for whilst they were putting food and claret down their throats, the w:iter was running into their shoes—so unmerciful did the eaves pour down their quota of the strum. In the fruit and coffee tents the misery was quite as great ; the ruin penetrated every where, and com fo: table „.„, a, I ply who could get an old basket 61, or a1;of to or e‘ e.: a brick-end, to stand upon, winkt she munet , ed her slice or pine. The p ; .•. C tl (IA den 01,11 td iilmost before a matt had . time to say, Deltoid !---Act quick nice things come to aii end; told though these waq great repining, the pines were not replace I. A upset-able pun that, but y e n- exett- , able in the tri.lq much misery. The ra n continuing, slam iiitc:ozission, du re was r o dame, no song, no. music no protnenading— nothing but scrambling ffir food and p.helter, and nothing but grumbling whether it was to be had or not ; and thus the Horticultural breakfast went off for this year. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT--NOT OF TILE FETE, BUT OF THE STATE OF THE GARDENS It occurs to us that Hampstead Heath or Greenwich Park, both dry WU! elevated situations, might be as reasonably chosen by the Society as their own grounds for the exhibit;on of the line fruits and other productions of other soils and other people.— We are aware of the impassibility of procurber, near the metropolis, a tract of land suitahly situate d, and, at the same time, extensive enough for the cultiva tion . of all the objects of horticulture: we are in formed, also, Ow these grounds are new, and we know that the situation is low and flat, and, of course, moist. The range is sufficiently large withal —arid the soil and situation might be adapted for "i s i n4 specimens of almost every known fruit, and flower, and vegetables—including the three great divisions of gardening—viz. fruit, flower, and kitchen gardens. It is in this way that the Society call usefully p oomote the art of gardening—by beiug more poetical and less didactic—by example more than by prece t o—by actual illustrations of their skill in their own demesnes, and not by pecuniary pre miums to a few ind viduals. It is not very difficult nor very prai..eworth)—Ly the pomp and parade of public premiums to encourage ambitions gar deners and amateur Lords and gentlemen to force the growth 'of a strawberry or a cauli flower beyond nature's bidding. By such means our horticulturis's may indeed produce pro dip,ies,—,omething like unto those enormous beasts exhibited by our Agricultural Society, once a year, near Smithfield, the appearance of which creates, not delight in the beholder, but won der that so much pains were taken upon such a subject. The flavour of the fruit or of the forced vegetable is as weak and vapid, though not so nauseous, as the flesh of the monstrous brute of die cattle-show. Let our Society trim at useful ends by natural means : let them show, iii their own grounds, and under their own superintendence, what skill and science, and careful cultivation, may do in selecting the seed, rearing the plant, and producing the flower or th e nuir. It is not our intention to repress proper en couragement to others, nor to disparage the speci mens of fruit sent by -them to this exhibition. On the contrary, we admit that the pine-apples, though small, wet e, with one or two exceptions, well flavow ed ; that the stapes, both white and red, w ere as full and large as could be had in any country on the Continent, but they, of course, were forced, and had not the fla vour of even the small grapes of Fontain- Wean. We also observed amongst the strawber ries, which really excited astonishment at tlwir size, that the largest were deficient in flavour, and that the moderate-sized were as agreeable to the eye as Weil as to ulnae, and pleasanter to the taste. The peaches, the nectarines, and the cherries, were truly excellent ; of melons also there were various Specimens. But a man could see all these produc tions in as good a state at Covent•garden mat ket any morning at six o'clock. We should like to see every society do that which by their title they pro fess to do. The gentlemen of this institution have not yet done much more than strike a doubtful note of preparation. Their pleasure-grounds, w )rich pro bably comprehend the flawer-garden, though with out much flowers, are in good forwardness. There is only an appearance of a kitchen garden in the shape of some squares of red earth, with some in- verted glass frames; and as to the other essential pat tof horticulture—a fruit garden—tlicre is scarcely an appearance, unless the wall-fruit trees, without fruit, are entitled to that appellation. We should like to see in the pleasure-grounds of the Horti cultural Society of London, not only yard-wide canals, and punch bowl lakes, and circulating jets d'cau, but even grottoes and caves and cascades, if they like, and precipices of rocks and hollows of mountains, and irriguous foun tains and groves of pines—cool retreats, affording shelter from rain, and shade from the raging heat of them. e do s-star.We ex __ , B )eo u t t e t d h , e s h e o a w r o e v i e t r o : , t o n or i o d f we l; o e xp e vege table and of the fruit of the gardens.

On Saturday a public meeting of the creditors of th'A tl'eatre was held in the lobby, about a hundred gpntlemen bei ii pr , sent. At hall-1,14 t‘valce, Mr. KEintLE addreised the Al, tint, stating that hims, if an:l the t we) gentlemen io whom lout been entrusted the management of the theatre, were always anxious to afford those inte rested in it every possible information upon their conduct, and upon the stive of the funds of the es!ablishment. To forward these views the present Meeting had been called, and he was only sorry that he had not been able, as yet, to induce any gentle man to take the chair. There was an unanimous call of Mr. liemh:c to the chjr, but that gentleman (led tied the invita• tiou, on the ground that it was inconsistent with the other duties he had to perform. Mr. ROBERTSON was that called to the Chair. Mr. KEMBLE then stated the object of the meet in7, and proceeded to read a cotrespondence that had taken place between the solicitors of Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, and those of Mr. Harris and Mr. Const, calling upon the two latter ntlemen to lay asi.Je the spirit of litigation, and to co-operate fur the general irct rest of the proprietors and of the shareholders and creditors of the theatre. c correspondence being read, Mr. Kemble stated to the meeting that the debts of the theatre were 25,000/ ; lint that since he, Mr. Willett, and Capt. Forbes had had the mana cement of the theatre, in 1822, they had paid off 60,0001. They had paid into the Court of Chancery, out of their own private property, 24,000 L to the bencfit of the, theatre, in (l pendently of another sum of 19,000/. paid by the Receiver, and ‘vhich the Master disallowed, in the Receiver's accounts. An ejectment had been served by the solicitor of the .Duke of Bedford for two years' arrear of ground-rent, and other proceedings at law were now taken against the theatre by creditors. lie should beg leave to move a resolution containing three points—First, that the theatre should continue tinder the manag ement of Captain Forbes, Mr. Wil lett, and himse lf, for two months, when another public meeting should be called, at which they would render up the fullest account of their proceedings, and of the pecuniary stare of the establishment. Secondly, that application should be made to the Court of Chancery, for permission to pay the ground rent claimed by the Duke of Bedford, out of the funds of tile theatre in that Court. And lastly, that in the interim, the creditors do agree to post pone all proceedings at law for the recovery of their claims.—(A pplause.)—He could state, t hat since his manawement of the theatre, in no one season, ex cept the last, had the establishment sustained any lass ; and he was convinced that, the property of the theatre was fully equal to the liquidation of all demands. _ The speech of Mr. Kemble was received with great and unanimous aprobation. In the cor respondence, Messrs. Coast and Harris declined any co-operation with Messrs. Willett, Kemble, and Captain Follies. Mr. Coast pro'ested against his liab lity to any of the claims made upon the theatre daring the management of Messrs. Itiemble, Willett, and Forbes; an I Mr. Harris complained that they should have paid the simple contract debts, leaving unpaid the claim for grcrind-tent. lie intended to appeal to the Loads against the recent derision of the Chancellor, and he threatened legal proceed. ings if his name were used as a sanction to the pre sent meeting. Upon the resolution being put from the chair, Mr. WIIITE ro , e to oppose it. He was convinced that at the expiration of two months the creditors would be in a still worse situation. Procrastim don was to be avoided, and they ought to come to book now. It was better to meet the difficulties at once. Ile was convinced that every shareholder receiving his five per cent, was liable to the de mands upon the theatre. The shareholders, pro prietors, and creditors, ought to come to some mutual settlement, and the Chancellor should be applied to for his order to sell the theatre, or that the Master should settle all conflicting interests. Mr. REEVELY animadverted with great severity on the conduct of Mr. Harris. The idea of selling the theatre was most preposterons, x‘hilst the course of litigation resorted to by some of the cre ditors was the only way to defeat their own ()Weer, and to involve every body concerned in ruin. It appeared to him that the only way to lessen their difficulties, and to pave the road to prosperity, was that proposed in the resolution.—(Applause.) A creditor said that, as a professional person, he would maintain that Mr. Kemble had a right to the property in the Court of Chancery, as it had been paid out of his private funds. Ile deprecated the waste of time and money in litigation, and thought that the resolution was the most conducive that could be imagined to the general interests of the theatre. A creditor, who professed himself of the legal profession, concurred with the last speaker. lie maintained that the Chancellor could not consent to the payment of the ground-rent out of the funds in Court, if it were opposed by any of the credi tors : therefore, unanimity was essential. ne would avoid the evils of a Chancery suit; and he thought nothing could be more reasonable and beneficial than the resolution proposed by Mr. Kemble.— ( A pplause.) An interlocutory discussion took place between several of the creditors, when the resolution was put and carried unanimously, with the solitary exception of Mr. White. A conversation then took pt tee relative to the execution which had been put into the theatre by a creditor, in the course of which it was stated that the name of the creditor who had so acted was • Buckle, and that his claim against the theatre utnounted to 501. in a 5001. share. A creditor proposed that it should be recommend ed to Mr. Buckle to suspend proceedings for two momths, in order that all the creditors should stand upon an equal footing, and :,at Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Fo.bes might not be unrecessarily em barrassed in their course of proceedings. In consequence of tlis suggestion a resolution, recommending generally to the creditors not present at the meeting to agree to act on the principle of forbearance laid down in the foregoing resolution, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. WHITE said, if this could be arranged as the resolution proposed, he should have felt no opposi tion to the first motion. A creditor wished to know whether it would not be wise in the meeting to appoint a deputation of creditors, for the purpose of seeking a personal in terview with the Duke of Bedford, in order that his Grace might be solicited by them to stay pro ceedings for the present in the matter of the eject ment. In answer to this, it was conteqded that it would be better to leave this affair, together with others, in the hands of Messrs. Kemble, Willett, end Forbes, instead of making any distinct resolution on the subject, which might, from circumstances not at present foreseen, shackle them in their operations or place them in an awkward situation. Mr. REEVELY thought that a communication might be made with propriety to Messrs. Const and Harris from the creditors, requesting them to co operate with Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, in their endeavour to release the property from its present disastrous situation. What he wanted to see was at least an armistice established between the parties, if no hopes of a permanent peace could be entertained. No distinct motion was made on the subject, and it appearing to be the feeling of the meeting that such a step would he useless, the matter dropped. Thanks were then voted to Messrs. g.Cmble, Willett, and Forbes, for the candid statement of the affairs of the theatre, which they had that day laid before the creditors. Thanks having been also voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. Prince LEOPOLD gave a grand dinner to a nu merous party on Saturdiy, at Marlborough-house, Pall man. SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is impossible not to feel disgust at the proofs gen ce, of which are fu r nished somethinglikea by every determinationcay's i l o n n t elli he l .( 0g ) the e he patience exe fo forbearance a Gea r a r nce t whßritaincii had d n e been zed safely ex_ part of Mi gue l an d hi s creatures, to ascerta i n h ow tret:lted. L or d Ab er d een apo l o gized fin- and insulted. ercised towards the little tyrant of Lisbon, by prai.-ing the unwillingness of a mighty empire to he too stein in demanding reparation from a feeble Government. There is, no doubt, some thiii in such a considetation which recommends it to a manly people ; but may it not be carried too far ? If a cur merely barks at us, he may do so with impunity ; but if he snaps at us and bites us on more than one occasion, it is time to use the horsewhip, or demolish the offensive animal by a kick. The outrages offered to British subjects in Portugal since Miguel was in troduced there with our consent, and enabled to overthrow the Constitutional Charter, in no small degree, pc: naps, through the security pro vided for him by the instructions of this Govern ment to its commanding officer to defend the creature's life if it should be menaced,—these outrages were, we freely acknowledge, made the matter of repeated, and in the end, successful re monstrance by Lord Aberdeen ; but it does not appear that the detestable Government of Por tugal has abandoned its mstem of injury and in stilt. A few posts ago, i;itelligence was brought of an act of extreme violence having been com mitted by Miguel's functionaries on the persons of four British seamen on duty, who were robbed of treasure to a large amount, and thrown into the hateful dungeons of the Limoeiro ; and to-day our city article states a crime against the flag, die Palladium of England, perpetrated by the usurper's Commodore off Terceira, which (if the transaction has not been grossly clis. coloured) cannot be passed over withottt sum , mary and signal retaliation. The case W shortly this:—A British vessel, the ship Lonclo/ was on her homeward voyage ft om India, when ; on the 13th inst., while mining on her course through the channel between St. George and Terceira, she was chased, and fired at with a " shotted gun, by a large Portuguese frigate. The English merchantman then hove to, and was immediately boarded by a large cutter, manned and armed, from the frigate. Ou de manding what was meant by this act of hosti lity, the English Captain was told that he must be taken to Miguel's Commodore, cruiFing off the city of Angra, which port, it appears, wan blockaded. An officer and twelve marines were; kept. on board the British vessel. Our country- man, after repeated remonstrances, and en treaties to have permission to proceed on his voyage, required that the armed force of the usurper should either liberate the British mer chantman or make prize of her. But the only answer he received was, that a lieutenant, with thirty more men, came on board him, hauled dozen the British ensign, ! and compelled the captain to follow the motions of the frigate. It was not until the evening of the 14th, after being under this detention, amounting to unlawful .capture, for six or eight-and-twenty hours, that the British crew and ship were sent about their business. We shall make no comments on this rare proceeding: it is new to the marine of England, and will, doubtless, not become more frequent from any undue toleration.—Times, We are glad to find that Mr. Hudson Gurney' has intimated, in his place in Parliament, that, it' some one more able than himself did not under take the duty, he would, next Session, propose a measure for preventing the application of Cor? porate funds to the purposes of elections. By the law of Parliament, it is a br each of the pri vileges of the House of Commons for a I'ecr to interfere in the election of Members, or exercise any controul over the suffrages of the people, by threat, promise, or pecuniary inducement. Thir4 law, it is true, is much eluded in practiee l lint. the principle is not time less sound and good because it is practically borne down and lost sight of in the current of modern corruption. If it be wrong and unconstitutional for a Peer to in terfere in elections, as being injurious to the free exercise of the elective franchise, ought not the application of the funds of a Corporate body to such purposes to be regarded as still more mis chievous and reprehensible ? The power and influence of a Corporation in its own neighbour hood is generally very great. There are some Corporations that have for more local influence than many Peers. If the interference of the latter be adverse to the " freedom of election," why not that of the former ? Every member of a Corporation, not a Peer, has aright, in his individual capacity, to iiiterest himself in elec tions, and support whichever party he pleases ; but it is a very different thing to wield the collec tive power of a Corporation, and apply its funds to secure the return of a favourite candidate. The funds of Corporations are not like the private estates of Peers, their own absolute property—they arc estates vested in them as trustees, to be applied to certain specific and public purposes. In general they are endowments to charitable uses, and for the cleansing and paving of town: —the keeping of watch and ward—the repair and rebuilding of bridges, and other matters of public convenience and police. The tolls and other taxes which Corporations arc allowed to levy ought to be applied, as they were originally intended, to the paving, lighting, and watching of towns, instead of being lavished, as they too generally are, in eating, drinking, and all sorts of Corporate luxury and extravagance. But when, in addition to such misapplication of taxes raised and funds intrusted to those corrupt and bloated bodies, thousands arc squandered upon contested electrons, there can be no lan guage too strong to designate such dishonest violations of trust—no law too severe to repress them. Indeed, the whole system of Corporations ought to be done away—those bodies are no longer of any public use whatever—they arc the strong holds of local jobbing, oppression, and corruption—they increase time burdens of the people by levying taxes, the produce of w hich they mis-spend—and they debase the morals of their respective neighbourhoods by their vicious influence and the contagion of their example.— Morning Herald. Mr. Hume, at the close of the Session, pre sented a petition from certain inhabitants of Pad dington, complaining of the late delivery oilet ters by the General Post, and that their Two penny Post letters, as well as those by the Ge neral Post, arc charged an additional penny or 30 per cent., as if they live 4 in the country. This the inhabitants of Paddington, like those of Camberwell and Islington, once did ; but, as the extension of the town has driven them out of the country, there seems to he no reason, now that they have exchanged the blessings of air and quiet for the misery of noise and smoke, that they should any longer pay for comforts, privileges, and exemptions, which they no kngCr

It is rather the natural faculty of that which is good to become : bettcr, and, instead of " letting well - 1 -ne," it is seine times convenient to show those who have arrived at a certain point of merit how much farther they ran succeed in their career thal they themselves have contemp!ated.—lbid. A perusal of the evidence taken before the select Committee, to inquize he° the conduct of Mr. Nash, has served to account to us for some of the proceedings adoi:Lci both in the Mouser of Commons and Chi:Mil:NV, with respect to this case. We ere not astonished that it should have been thought advis ride to 'midis!) the resolutions of the Committee, before pub lishing the report on the evidence, and that statements of the substance of the evidence as well as discussions on them, should have been deemed too delicate for any other ears than thme of -the collective. Before the exclusion of strait ger.; on Friday, the 19th of June, World Davies had given a view of the evidence relating to the manner in which, after :\lr. Nash bad made his report as to the terms on which leases ought to le! granted, Mr. Eclwards, a near relation of Mr. Nash's, appeared on the scene—the disappearance of Mr. Ede.ards in due time—and the appearance of Mr. Nash, who, -as a 'generous and warm;hearted friend of Mr. Edwards's, had purchased from him for 4,5001., a lease which he had subse quently sold for 17,0591., and. after deduCting 2,3001. had realised 14,0631. We will not now go over this part of the subj..et, but proceed to a.transaction connected with this loan, which Colonel Davies had no opportunity of noticing. It appears that the frontage of Pall-mall East, of wilk.ll a lease was granted to Mr. Edwards, was not ecyrectly measured by Mr. Nash, and it so happens, accidentally of course, that the error was not in favour of the Crown, but in favour of Mr. Edwards,—and it appears also, that rd though the number of feat was correctly stated in the counterparts of the lca,e granted to the t e nants to whom the ground was parcelled out, yet that the discovery of the error was first made so late as January. 129 by Lord Lowther, by stepping over rt. But we will allow Lord Lowther, the discoverer, to tell his story in his own words. Lettcr front Lord Lowther to Mr. Goulburn (Ev. p. 111.) : DEAR Gouezur.N—The con,ideration of the most adva•oag , ous method of laying out the ground made vacant by the Charing-cross improre mcnts, has incidentally led me to an examination of the transactions whici . t took place in consequence of similar vacancies in the progres- of the improvements under the Regent-street Act. In the course of examination, I haveanct with seine circumstances, with a in kJ* statement cf which I think it my doty to troultle you. " When in the course of the New-street improve ments, the wound Between the west side of Suffolk street and tiliite=h-strect was to be let, a propo-al was made for it by Mr. Edwards, of Stanhope street, which was referred to our wehitecr, Mr. Nash, end approved of by him; and, in consequence au age( einem was ma le to lease. the ground at the pronoscd rents in Mr. Elwards, or his nominee. It fort . her appears :hat Mr. Nash himself became one of these nominees, and for au extent which .pays rent ncar'y evil to one-hal of the whole sum re ceived from Mr. Edwards. Now the fact of our Archi - ect becoming the Lessee of property, in the disposal of which the board was guided by his ad vice, is certainly wrong upon general principles; Put when I add to this, that I am informed that Mr. Ethvarils is a near relative to Mr. Nash, and that other circumstances render it probable that Mr. N rib we: cogniz ant of the term; proposed by Mr. Elwards at the time he prop sed them, I think you will agree with me, that for Mr. Nash's sake, if far no other reason, the transaction should be more fully explained. " Another fact connected wiih this aft which I 01 4 1 it to appriz. , you or, is this :--a part of tills ground having a front tollall•mall East, was, upon the nomination of M. Edwards, let to Mr. Na.h, acid was very shortly after disposed of by him to the persons who have built upon it, far a rent consi,lcr ably greater, its I learn, titan that which Mr. Nash pa) sto the Crown. I do not say that it is impos sible that this could fairly happen, but it is cer tainly a circumstance which I should think justifies enquiry. " There is a third point in this mattee which ought to he examined into. The frontage to Pall vrall East was granted to Mr. Edwards as 82 feet, or three guineas per foot. I find by re-measztre- MCJit that it contains • ninety-seven or ninety-eight feet. So that a valuable piece qf ground has been added to Mr. Edwartls's original take, without any additional rent being received on the part of the Crown. How this mistake occurred must be ex plained by Mr. Nash, to whom all measurements were referred, and who had to inspect and approve of all the plans and elevations of the buildings upon this ground. It is, you mai believe, with great re luctance that I feel myself..obliged, by a sense of public duty, thus to revert to eii cumstances which t:mk place before I was in office ; and I have con tented myself with laying the facts plainly before you, without attempting to draw any inferences, or to prejudice any explinations of which-they may be capable ; and I must leave it to you and the Trea sury to decide in what mode such explanations should be sought, and a satisfactory inquiry made.—l.,am very faithfully your's, (Signed) " LOWTHER. 4. Whitehall-place, e9th January, 1529." • In a letter from Messrs. Adams and Dawkins, to Mr. Goulburn, dated Whitehall-place, Friday, 20th February, 1829, they say— " We are sorry to learn that a mistake has ec• curred respecting the dimensions of the ground. It IS, however, no more than ju , tice to Mr. Nash to observe, that _it: was measured by him before the houses which then occupied it had been removed, and that such admeasurernent . therefore was neces sarily liable to error. But as the last lease of the 'whole plot has not been granted,. t . e frontage will be re-measured, preparatory to the issuing of it ; and whatever inaccuracy shall appear to have been made in Mr. Nash'.; original convitation, either :n grant ingahat lease, or by some other arrangeinews with him, may he rralily corrected. It would appear, however, that the exact measurement or this front Age, which came sari ,dentally, as it were, to the knowedge of Lord . Lowther, in 1329, was well known to Mr. Nash ami 1621. Mr. George Jappen, Architect, says (p. 9), that on the p of Mes , rs. Paxton and Co., he negotiated a lease or the izround on which their premises stand, with Mr. NA] : " was the date of tine trarsairm?—lt was in the Later end of 1820; I began the ',oiling io iB2l. " What were the terms ttp:m 1%.11A you agreed with Mr. Nash ?—I was to give him four guineas u foot for forty jhur feet, fronting Pall-mal East, and fifty-!wo feet deep."

The first com notn;e,ltion we had o,i the subject was from Mr. Tapiam, on the 141 th December, 1821. %\ as the :wore of that communication ? —lt is a.llessed to Mr. Barlow, who Was then act ing as Secretary of the University Club—' Sir, I • sent you beneath a plan of the ground, which 1 11:1:1c will be sufficiently explicit, and give the gen ;Lan n of the Committee satistactory ideas of the &o. .Tbe ground is on karc from the I.:Avards,for ninciy-ninc seam Mr. Nas'i is Mr. Ede.ards's (igcnt vpon occa4io;:.— ' 'rite f,,ili.wing are the terms :,-52 feet in f.init of New Pall and Z',2 feet deep, at four guineas pt.r. font, 2331. The cig,,W . fect to be added up SuirA:-.stseet, is to be at three guineas per foot, 25/. 4 making a total of 24:31. 12s.' Thi: is the whole that is appicable to the ground rent. " What was the final agreement you came to nt:th Mr. E.lwards or Mr. Nash ?—I will read Mr. N letter of the GM cf May, 1823, which was an enay. cr to en application to Mr. Nash, to know what was the price of the ground Sir, by the agreement, or ra! her correspondence with your solicitor, you wll tin the terms on which 1 let the ground to your Club, " What was the actual rent which bad been agreed upon for the premises ?-3911., and the lain:- tax was 20/. 18s. " 110 w much of that was rent to the Crown Now by casting up the two frontages to Pal mall East of 11 rect. and 52 feet, we have 1)6 feet, which is on i-uch a frontage a singular ad vance noon B'2 feet. Lqt us now hear what Lord Lowther says in his evidence on the sub iect Of this frontage (p. 61 ) — " It vppears by the correspondence that your Lordship adveried to the difference between the Inea , nretnent by Mr. Nash of the frontan brands Pail-mall East awl the actonl extent of the ground —in what manna was your attention directed to it It was communicated to me horn some ii - formation I called for in the office of what the lettings were; it was said it was 8r feet : I cannct recollect the date, but it occurred to me that it was much wider than 62 feet, and I went up and step- ped it. " Have the Crown, in fae, been only credited with the rent for 82 feet during all this ti:ne ?--The !cities have been granted with the measurements of the 97 feet ; but it appears by Mr. Milne's evidence ther.! i 3 a sum due whirh has not yet bet it paid to the Gown; I-was informed of that at the end of January, and there is a letter I have been looking for no:v, but t annot lay my baud upon. " flow did you ret•cive that information ?—I informed by a person, in the °like. " It appears by the correspondence as if you had h a d a , u Npieion of it ?•—lt did strike me as :angular, there should bean increase on the most valuable part of tiro ground. •. _ . " The diff;renee occurred tl you lot.g• after the buildings had been erecel ‘vhich I s:nted, occurred to me last JanuaT ; this arose out of a question put to my Right honourable Friend in tbe Committee of the last Sess:on on Imievet mews." Alexander ',Willie, El., Chief Secretary to the Mice of Woods and Fores, p. 63, gives the following evidence : " There were two lease=, one to the University Ciith., and the other to Messrs. Pavan ; it was in 1823 I think. " Is that complete notice to the miiez.. of the actual ailinea.urement of that land ?—Yes certainly. 6 ' You were understo:nl to say that it is the cus tom in these cases to place part of a general rem upenone or other hous.., as it may suit best ler the convenience of the Masan ?—Yes. " 6 With reference to that object, you do not ex pect from the University, Char a rental of three guineas a foot upon tht:t frontage, but you receive 1201., it being more conve&ent to Mr. Edwards's nominee that that sum should stand upon the Uni v....rsity Club ?—Ex;xtly so. " The . almeasurement of the University Club is no security therefore that you gt t three guineas a foot on that frontage ?—lt is not. " In the same way the hoose occupied by Messrs. Paxton would be in the same situation ?—.Just so. " The result of this mist therefore be that the whole frontage between Whiteomb.street and Suf folk-street, men-Airing 97 feet, and which ought to have secured to the Crown upwards of 290/., clues not seem e to the Crown that sum ?—lt does not. " You look for the security of that to other pro- pert V. • • • • • " Were you ever ii!fivined by Mc Crown Surveyor that there had beiqi Lit error in the measurement of that ground let by the. Crown to Mr. Edwards ? No, I wus 1:0t." • So much for this measurement of the Crown Surveyor. Mr. Milne wished to persuade the Committee that no loss could have accrued to , the public, - . . - even :if the mistake in the measure- I ment had never been diwoVered. This sounds i rather odd ; but the fact is otherwise. When Mr. •Edwards took the groUnd, it was calculated that 1 there were so many feet at three guineas, so many - at one guinea and a half, and so many at 12s. 6d., and the aggregate rent of all these be ing 9001. per annum ; to which was to be a dded a rent of 1741. per annum, in lieu of 3,800/.,.the value of old materials taken by Mr. Edwards. Provided, therefore, Mr. Edwards or his nomi nee paid this aggregate rent, it Was a matter of indill'erence to the Crown how it was distributed on the ground, and accordingly on some plots Mr. Nash imposed a low rent for the Crown, and a very high rent for himself, so that the rent received by the Crown, on any particular plot of ground, formed a criterion of the extent of the ground it contained. It was, therefore, only. by a reference to the counter-parts of the leases, which contained plans of the premises, and a correct measurement, that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests could have detected the error. But it appears that they were in a fair way never to have, discovered it. It is stated by Mr. Milne, p. 64, " The adtneasurement was taken in Ja 7 ntl:lrv, 1829, according to a plan which had been delivered in June, 1820. In that plan delivered in June, 1820, the admeasurement is stated as 82 feet, and the account made rp in January, 1829 (the account delivered to the first Commissioner), was prepared ac cording to that plan delivered in June, 1820, instead of being prepared, which it . should have been, from the counterpart of the lease in the office." They might therefore have gone on, according to this incorrect return made out for Lord Lowther, to the ter- 01' the 99 se.trs' lease, without t l:-;- c . overing the mistake, ‘vhielt made a difference of 471. per annum in favour of the Crown when discovered. With respect to the correct measurement iii the leases by Mt-. Nash, tho reze;sAt is obvious. lie did not S,:y to the kssees, Messrs. Pa7;.!on, and the University Club, )00 shall give the so Touch your plot of ground, but you shall pay so much to the Crown, and much peribot improved ground-roit to me. He had an obvious motive flir letting these parties know as early as possible the cx:Rtt ad measurement ; but he forgot to communicate to the Crown the knowledge/ of ti's mitaneatAire trent. No light is thrown upon this part of the busines.3. Ileis San— of the admeasure went is but a small part of the case.

An tltotsually deep frit sensation has beet' caused at Ilarrf-rf,ite and its nc•iglibloyhon4l, dirity; the last week, by the following Inr:terlotsly trogie,i events : On Sonday week Mary Coa•es, a young- woman, wife of a labourite . , man ill the employ of-Mr. Wil kinson. of Ilarrowate, butcher, was taken stoldeney ill, after eating her dinner,. con.:isting of gooseberry pie. Coates '4 m oon has been to remain at liar rowgate- (which is II far mlistaiit from his own house) (luring the rte 11101 retort' home on Sa turday cvenipgs to spoil the Sunday. Up to the time Of eating her dinner his wife was in pet feet health; brit soon after, oil her vomitin , excessively, and other dangerot s symptoms makhmg their ap pearance, the unfortunate woman's pro ents were sent for. Their flame is Swales ; their house is situate about a quarter of a toile from Coates's Mouse, and they were consequently soon on the spot. They endeavoured, by whatever means they cotdd think of, to alleviate her agonies. - The efforts used itt the sufferer's bel a'f, however, proved freimles-, and her deallt took place•in less t ho'' boors after eating of the fatal pie. In addition to her father and mother, there were iii the house at the time of her death a little brotSer, named Richord, and u sister, somew hat younger than herself, named Jam , . 0:d Sw a les, after the decease of his daughter (finding his preseeee no longer necessary ), thought of returning home with the I ttle boy. It does not appear that any stspVon had then e mitered the mind of any one in the house that poison had been the cause of death; and before leaving his son-in law's, he ohserved a cake anti the remainder of the fruit-pie. He gave the totcooseions boy a portion of the fruit, and partook of the latiVr himself. This was on the Monday, about their listed hour of din- They then set out on their jottroey, but be fore they reached home, lode Richard comp! tined of a bor n ieg pain, atol said he had something in his throat.

On Friday, the wife of a conveyancer W 35 charged with having assaulted and throteurd the life of her husband.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterdsty tnorniiig a Sermon Wil3 preached at Christ Church, New gate-street, before Loan MATon and - Sheriffs, by the V e nera!de, Dr. flowNcwon:rn, Archdeacon of bunting doo, for the benefit of the above excellent charity. The Rev. Divine chose for his text the l 371), verse of the 29tli chapter of Jen—" The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for j..y." From these a ppropriate words an adini . ruble tliacouts.! was delivered by the Preacher, wheieiti he powerfully advocated the cause of charity generally ; but more especially in favour of the Printer,' Pension Soc . ety. ‘"fo the mitchless act of printing," said the eloquent Divine, " the most powerful influence on the destiniea happiness of man—the greatest tendency to enlighten the understanding and improve the chat acter, and the tuost rat'onal views of our zloty to God, and of the benevolince we owe to our fellow men, were to be attributed." lie concluded his sermon with a poWerful app ea l t o the f ee t_ ings of the congregation in favour of the aged awl the widow, in which he truly stated, that the immense labour attending the pr e paration of the daily journals, the mid night toil necessary to produce an early publication, and the constant and unremitted attention requisite to insure regularity, demanded from the joorneymin printer an sx hiradature of metrial and bodily strength, which produced, 1-at.an early period of life, debility and premature deeay. 1 We ate happy to sty, that a very liberal sum wa:s cillected on the occasion.

LONDON I - a'7 11 1 )( q) 7 7 Of 8 1,'.20 POLICE INTELLIGENCE,. 34, 4 ,1tib10N-110USZ. Yesterday Mr. Taylor, the common-councilinan, waited upon the Loao MAYOR for the purpose of complaining to his Lordship of the conduct of certain police magistrates, and that of a. worthy Alderman who bad acted as if in conceit with those obnoxious gentlemen. • • .Mr. Tat for stated, that the ward of Farringdon without being on the botinduries of the county of Middlesex, the plan adopted by the police magis trates, for getting rid of the swarms of thievee and - vagabonds, had placed the representatives of the, vard in considerable difficulty. The - new police made a practice of driViog all offensive perScins who appeared in the neighbourhood of Holboro, Hatton garden, &c., into the city, which would, if the prae tice were not discontinued, have the . effect of con verting the city into a receptacle for all the refuse of society. It - was, he submitted, rather uncon scionable. to get rid of a great evil by saddling it upon others. In fact, the inconvenience now con stantly experienced rendered it necessary that the • chief 'magistrate should interpoge. The common council of the ward found it impossible. to perfoun,; their .duties -to their constituents if the ward were subject to such visitations. • • The LORD MAYOR said the evil was certainly a serious one ; but be could not sec how any thing he was authorized to do could tend to remedy it. Ile had no means of controlling the Middlesex magis trateg, nor of punishing the new police for driving bad or disorderly characters out of their districts. It appeared to him to be the duty of police-officers to remove all such pet sons as hail becti described from the districts which they were directed to protect. Mr. Taylor said that the conduct of Ald?rmao Scholey of late, at the Justice-room of Guildhall, appeared to him to be very reprehensible. Sixteen or seventeen. disorderly persons had been brought before the Alderman. It was stated that they had been diiven by the new police into the city, where their behaviour underwent no improvement. Alder man SeholeY, however, thought tit to dh-charge every one of the defendants; and when expostu lived with, and told that the common-councilmen would not be able to discharge their duties effect ively if the aldermen did not second their efforts, he said nothing but "•Oh, I know what all of you gentlemen of the , common-council wish to be: - you all th sire to be aldermen." This sort of treatment had the effect of making the city police-efficers pay but little regard to the orders of the representatives of the ward. The LORD MAYOR was still as much in the dark as to the course be should pursue. He could not think of sitting is judgment upon a brother Alder man, and he had no power whatever in such a case. If the members of this ward would draw up a peti tion or memorial upon the subject, lie should most willingly present it to Mr. Peel, whose anxiety for the protection of all his Majesty's sujects was well known, and who, no doubt, would take the matter of complaint at mice into consideration. Mr. Taylor will, we believe, adopt his Lordship's suggestion immediately. His Lormstutp frequently, in the course of the last week, stated, that from all he had heard the new police regulations had already been productive of great good, and that he should advise that they be, as soon as possible, extended to the city. His Lordship often sevetely condemned the plan of pa rochial watching as excessively defective, and fimight with evils of great magnitude. He had, he said, been lately engaged in an inquiry into the cir cumstances of a most daring robbery which had been commiited in the neighbourhood of the Mansion house, and he had every reason to believe that the constable who had charge of the district had a know ledge of what had been meditated by the thieves; if not, the =Ws conduct was wholly inexplicable, and at all events he was unfit for the situation. It is believed that Mr. Peel will iecommend the adoption of the new police to the city as the only remedy. ItAy.6 took :occasion to observe that the want of pro Per books to enter the »i4ht l -charges in at the diffe.rrot pr;ll;..e s tetions, as NV!l , ' . the case under the old sy . stern, was a material fneeneenience, and a pos , ttee , defeet. At present it appeared to be the custom of the insi.ectors, who acted as night .con staliles, to enter the charges wh:ch were brought before them, not in a regular charge-book, but on a .printed sheet of paper, which was placedibefora the Mdgistrates in the morning. The charges so enter , cad merely do scrilyed, in general terms, the respective otrenves of which parties were acruseri. This prac- Eke - , he conceived, was one which might katteadcd with censiderable abuse ; as a charge of felony, for instance, might, when brought before the Niagis trates,. he so softened and explained away, that the . real nature of the charge might not appear, which could not he the case if a more particular description of the offence were entered in a regular charge bock. The old custom, too, of requiring, parties xeho preferred charges at .night to sign their names in The book, as a sort of guarantee for their appear ance in the morning, scented to be discontinued together. This omission, and the want of regular charge-books, our - ht, in hivpirrion, to be remedi as speedily as possible,-and he - begged that Inspec . ter Preece would mention the matter to the Com missioners, as he (Mr. Halls) felt it to be cc subject of so math importance, that he should otherwise deem it to be his daty to represent it in person to , the Secretary of State. Inspector Preece said he shntild certainly report the Magistrate's opinion to his superior officer, who would no doubt mention the matter to the Commir sioners. The driver of one of the Woolwich -stages, named .Jeeves, was chat,ged by the Rev. Wiibarn Henry Onslow with having threatened to assault him, - and al=o with having used blasphemous language. The Reverend complainant stated, that on Mon 'day last he engaged inside places in the defendant's coach for himself and his brother, at the Ship Ta vern, Charing-cross, for which he paid 3s. When he went with his brother to take their phices at three o'clock, the defendant told him that ail the in side places were already occupied; upon which he (the complainnnt) requested him to return him the amount of the fare, which, however, the defendant tefused to do; and upon being:, remonstrated with upon the impropriety of such conduct, he threatened to pull his (the complainant's) nose, and knock him down. He also used expressions the most insulting and blasphemous, and upon mounting his box stood up in the seat in a menacing attitude, repeating his offensive language. l`dr. HAtns called upon the defendant to answer the charge, okerving that it was rather too bad to threaten to pull the noses of those who had paid for the accommodation of his- coach without deriv ing the stipulated benefv. The coachman was about to explain the reason why the coach had been occupied, but . i♦'lr. HALLS bail him he had nothing to da with that part of the case, mid had only to deal with the charge %Aida appeared before him,—namely, the threatening an assault and abusive language. The coachman declared, that to the best of his knowledge, he used no bad language whatever, and even admitting that he had, he conceived be was justified in doing so, the complainant having called him a robber and a thief. Such language, he coa ceived, ought not to be addressed to a respectable tradesman, let the rank of the gentleman be what it might. Sic BIRNIE—Do you tall yourself a trades- Man ? 'Defendant—Yes, Sir Richard; lam a re spectable coach-proprietor, and am %veil known upon the road for these ten years. Mr. IlaLt.s asked the complainant if it was true, as stated by the defendant, that he was paid back the amount of the fare ? The complainant said that the money was certainly returned, but not until he had charged the defendant with robbery and :heft. The MAGISTRATE then asked the defendant if he meant to deny having threatened to pull the gentle man's nose ? The defendant said that he would not he positive, and might certainly have used the words, having, as he conceived, received sufficient aggravation. " Could any man," he a$ ell, "stand tamely by, and hear hitnielf charged with robbery ?'' Mr. HALLS said he certainly thought it would have been better if the Rev. Gentleman had ab stained front expressioLs which were calculated to cause a breach of the peace. The defentlaa was tined 10s. and co , tg, agtin.,t which decision he entered into the usual sureties to appeal at the Sessions. GUILDHALL. Sir PETER LAURIE asked if any of the constables from Hollywn were present; and being answered in the negative, be proceeded to observe, that Foster, the marshalinan, had complained to him en Monday morning of a Magistrate having hist, acted the new police to drive the bad characters out of the county into the city. Ile had since learned that the Magis trate had disavowed having given such a direction; and he was happy to hear• this, for it was obviously better to correct a nuisance than merely to remove it from one place to another. Neither was it fair to the city police, of the efficiency of which he had a high opinion. Ile had heard a bad account of Fleet -street, but he hoped the officers would make it an example to the Strand. - • Martin, the officer, assured the Alderman he had been misled respecting the state of Fleet-street. He and itoi.v, another officer, walked through Fleet street and the Strand the previous night, for the purpose of making observations. In the Strand they saw eight or ten notorious thieves walking about— in Fleet-street not one. Sir PETER was glad to find a spirit of rivalry be tween the two eslablishments. The eyes of the public were now directed to the relative merits of the two Systems. lie inquired for the Fleet-street (Act rs. Bar kyr, one of the night patrol, presented bimseil. Sir PETER asked whether Fleet-street or the Strand was best kept, and had fewest thieves in it? Bather said he could tell nothing about the state of the Strand, his duty confining him to the city, but there was only one row . in Fleet-vreet. The history of this row was immediately entered into. Mr. Matthews, a silversmith, and Mr. Short, an engraver, both householders in St. Bride's, were charged with assaults. Grcig, a watchman, said that at half-past one o'clock, the defendants, with several others (who admitted they had 'just left. a convivial meeting), were making a great noise, by rudely treating some females. lie insisted that they should not make such a disturbance, and ordered them to move on. They refused to move, and Matthews even struck him, and threw him twice on the ground. • The defendants' own . recognizAnces for their ap pearance was deemed sufficient. • _ . . Barker reported that Melville, the night constable, refused to detain Matthews, knowing him to be an inhabitant. Soon afterwards Mr. Taylor, the common-coun cilman, carne in, and mentioned to Sir Peter that he had himself witnessed an act which showed that the denied instruction to the police was in reality acted upon. A drunken man was brought by one of the new police from Saffron-hill, and left upon the foot way in Holborn, here of course he was a much greater nui,:ance than be could hale been at the for mer phce. lie (Mr. Taylor) spoke to him about it, and another of the policemen came up and be haved very insolently. These were policemen of the Hatton-garden district; and if they choose to bring all time drunken people of Saffron-la, they were so numerous that Holborn-hill whold be choked with them. Sir PETER said, if this was the way they want to . occupy their time, s omet hi ng must be done to counteract them. Constables must be stationed at the serer:xi entrances into the i ity, and he promised to mention the s u bj ec t to the pollee committee of Aldermen sltt;ng that afternoon. BOW-STREE P.

The great fair nt Brought hill took place on ki 7 ednesday, and this enncurrence, in regard to time, kept many English dealers away from Dumfries. Though a few of them appeared in in the early part of Tuesday, they had little time to transact business, and as evening approached, were seen hurrying off on horseback or by the heavy coaches. Though there were few superior animals in the market, the show, upon the whole, seemed a pretty good one, and yet we are told by compe tent judges, that it was inferior to that of last year, by nearly a third. Still the supply exceeded the demand, and the market, we are sorry to say, was the reverse, of a good one. The dealers, to a man, fought exceedingly shy, and had the same to say to every body—" the times are bad—motley is scarce, and you must submit." This was no vain threat, and it is a positive fact, that the holders of the most valuable young horses realized little more than a. pound or two for a ycat's grazing. The fall is estimated by many at 20 per cent., or even more; and one respectable dealer repeatedly assured us, that a good work horse, which, last veer, was worth 401., hardly bought 321. this. The following scale of prices we believe pretty neatly the truth : Goad work horses, from 181. to 32/.: two-years old colts, from 12/. to 2.31. ; one-vear old ditto, from S/. to 151. Coachers and roadsters seemed rather scarce, and sold at all prices according to age and quality. A pair of fancy fillies, rather stnall in the bane, but well matched and thoroughly broken, were sold for 4.51.; and we heard of a Ciao three yerus-old colt, bred at College-Nlains, which, report says, brought nearly 504 This undoubtedly was the first horse of his class in the market. A number of horses remained unsold, though we cannot ,state the exact proportion, and we beard one man assert ing that the Rood fair was the worst he had seen for thirty years. This, however, is going too far, and there arc many who assert that horses are high enough yet. Two or three year olds have been advancing in price, and appear to have reached their maximum last spring. The want of money, and the stagnation of trade, no doubt deepened the gloom of the market; but in accounting for the depression, it may be proper to ass'gn an additional reason—which is probably the most influential of the whole. At one time the breeders ran all on crosses, and actually us erstoeked the country with coachers and roadsters to the neglect of the pure breed of work horses. In time they overshot the mark, though not till animals fit for carting or ploughing had become scarce, and consequently dear. At last they have got into the opposite extreme; and in proportion as work horses become plentiful, we may expect to see a co-respond• inn . fall in price. lIIRIac MARICET.—III the dense crowd that lined our streets on Wednesday, there were hundreds, if not thousands of servants of both sexes, willing to hire, or at least ascertain the rate of wages, includ ing numbers of as brawny youths and Lonnie lasses as o ne would wish to look on. As the weather was beautiful, the parties were all dressed in their best attire; health beamed in almost every countenance, sparaled in every eye, and in passing, or rather press ing along, maidens were met with at every little in terval, whose optics actually rivalled the deep blue of the Fleavens.above. Old Cobbett once boasted of the number of square incites of red tint • were to be found among the members of his family, and if the veteran politician had been present in Dumfries, he would have found the same commodity so plenti ful, that he might reckon by roods and not by inches. Thought many servants demanded mere money, the demand was resisted in almost every instatlM Wa;zes, in fact, remained us near as may be at the old level. Farm servants were hired at from 4/. to 61. 10s. for the h If year, and it was only where they were known to be experience:l and superior, that thtey.obiaiced a little more.

At this place the rail-road runs on dead level, and formed, of course, a - fine spot for trying the comparative speed of the carrio L zes. 'Hie Directors had made suitable preparatiobe for this important as well as interesting experiment of the powers of locomotive carriages. For the accommodation of the ladies who might visit the course (to use the language of the turf ), a bintrh was erected on the south side of the rail-road, equidistant from the extremities of the trial ground. Iler e a b an d o f mus i c was statioixtf, and amused the company during the day by play ' ing pleasing and favourite airs. ThcDirectors, leach of whom wore a white riband in his 1)1:It:In hofe, arrived on the course shortly after ten o'clock in the forenoon, having come front Huy ton on cars drawn by Mr. R. Stephenson's loco motive steam-carriage, which moved up the in elined plane from thence with considerable velo cit). Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen ill -great numbers arrived from Liverpool and ‘Varringtori, St. Helen's and Manchester, as well as freim the surrounding country, in vehicles of every descrip don. Indeed all the roads presented, on this occasion, scenes. similar to those which 'roads leading 'to race-courses usually present doting the clays of sport.; The pedestrians were ex tremely numerous, and crowded all the roads which conducted to the race-ground. The spec tators lined both sides of the road for the dis tance of a mile and a half; and although the men employed on the line, amounting to nearly 300, acted as special constables, with orders t;) keep the crowd off the course, all their efforts to carry their orders into effect were rendered nu gatory by the people persisting in walking on the course. It is difficult to form an estimate of the number of individuals who had congregated to behold the experiment ; but there could not, at a moderate calculation, be less than 10,000. Seine gentlemen even w en t so f ar as t o compute them at- 15,000. Never, perhaps, on any previous occasion were so many scientific gentlemen and practical engi neeis collected together on one spot as _there were on the rail-road yesterday. The interesting and important nature of the experiments to be tried bad drawn them from all parts of the king dom to be present at this contest of locomotive carriages, as well as to witness the amazing uti lity of railways in expediting the communication between distant places. The attendance of tli members of the Society of Friends was extremely numerous also, and their appearance on a race course gave rise to some amusing badinage during the day. There were only one or two public-houses or taverns in the vicinity of the trial-ground. These were, of course, crowded with company as the day advanced, particularly the Rail-road 'Tavern at Kenrick's-cross, which was literally crammed. The landlady. had very prudently reserved one room for the accommodation of the better class of visitors, whom she treated with boiled beef and roasted mutton fbr the moderate charge m 3s. per—not head, but mouth. The good lady will, we imagine, have substantial reasons for remembering the trial of the locomotive car riages ; but there is nothing like making hay while the sun shines. The locomotive carriages which appeared o: the ground were— N. 1. Messrs. Braithwaite and Erielicon of Lon don, the Novdry; weight, 2 tons, 1.5 cwt. No. 2. Mr. Ackworth, of Mt:it/won, the Sins Pareil; weight, 4 ton:, S cwt., 2 quarters. No. 3. Mr. Robert Stephenson, Newcaszle-upen- Tyne, the Rocket; weight, 4. tons, 3 cwt. No. 4. Mr. Itrandreil), of Liverpool, the Cycle ped ; weight 3 tons ; worked by a hone. Mr. liurstall, of Edinburgh, did not bring his carriage out, in consequence of its having met with an accident on its road from Liver pool to the course. The damage will, however, be repaired, and the machine will, it is expected, be ready by to-morrow. The locomotive car ria.,,es attracted, of course, the attention of every individual on the ground. They ran up and down the road during the forenoon more for amusement than experiment, surprising, and even startling, the .unscientific beholders by the amazing velocity with which they moved along the rails. Mr. Robert Stephenson's carriage attracted the most attention during time early part of the afternoon. It ran, without any weight being attached to it, at the rate of 24 miles in the hour, shooting pass the spectators with amazing velocity emitting very little smoke, but dropping its red-hot cinders as it proceeded. Cars containing stones were then attached to it, weighing, together with its own weight, upwards of 17 tons, preparatory to the trial of its speed being made. This trial occupied, with . stop pages, 71 minutes, and proved that he carriage can, drawing three times its own weight, run at the rate of more than ten miles in the hour. Mr. Ackwoith, of Darlington, ran his car riage along the course during the day, but no trial of its speed with weights took place eo-day. Mr. Winan's machine, worked by two men, and carrying six passengers, was also on the ground. It moved with no great velocity, com pared with the locomotive steam-carriage, b u t with considerable speed considering that it was put in motion by human power. One .of its .wheels, we believe, was slightly damaged. in the course of the afternoon by Mr. Ackworth's loco motive steam-carriage on the road. Mr. Prand reth, of this town, had his locomotive carriage on the road. I-, was worked by two horses, on the principle of the tread-wheel. Though its velocity was not more than four miles per hour on this occasion, it is a carriage which will be useful for a variety of purposes on the rail-road. But the speed of all the other locomotive steam-carriages on the course was far exceeded by that of Messrs. Braithwaite and Co.'s beau tiful engine from London. It was the lightest and t a i i i i o d st etiwleg‘a.enitoccittivrriage with c n ,n hic tl i te road itloveydesstteirr - prised and amazed every beholder. It shot along the line at the am.izinC the hour !

It actually made one gidly to look at it, and filled thousands with lively fears for the safety of those who were on it, and who seemed not to run along the earth, but to fly, as it were, , s on the sings of wind." It was a most stiblim.: sight—a sight, indeed,:which the individittils wh ) beheld it will not soon forget. The contests will be te. tuned this forenoon. They are likely to continue to-morrow and Friday, it being the desire, as well as the interest of all parties concerned to make the experiments as numerous and as complete as possible. 3d. :‘K- .er .3go th° st vs . )er' poi Pr"

r----r-et I-re. - 4'1.,< • - FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. {n.= the Moi4itoir of Monday—Non-official part.) -PARTS,OcT.I.—News received from Constan tinople, dated the' 10th ult., announce that the Porte has consented to treat on the following basis : " I. The free navigation of the Black Sea, the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles, for merchantmen of all nations which are at peace with the two Powers. "2. The demolition of the fortifications o Giurdzevo. " 3. The cession in Asia of Poti, Anapa, Ak halzik, and part of its territory. 4. An indemnity of 11,500,000 ducats, of which 1,500,000 are to be paid in three instalment. , , nt intervals of six months, arsd the remainder in ten annual instalments. The payment of this sum is guaranteed by the occnp•ition of Moldavia and Wal- lachia. The Porte has . the option of discharging the debt in a shorter time, and the Russian troops will deliver up the provinces im:mdiately after the entire payment of the indemnity." (From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.) PARIS, OCT. 2.—No doubt was entertained at Constantinople that the Sultan would immediately send to General Diebitsch the ratifications of the treaty, which alone were to suspend the march of the Russian troops. An extraorainary messenger from Madrid arrived the day before yesterday at the hotel of the Spanish Legation, and was despatched yesterday evening to London. The official part of the Monileur contains a Royal ordinance, appointing Beugnot, Minister of State and Member of the Privy Council, to be President of the Board of Trade and Colonies, which is re established by his Majesty's ordinance of the Bth of August. VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—An English courier has ar rived here, who left Constantinople on the 10th. Ile brings word that General Diebitsch was still at Adrianople on the 12th. Though the news of the taking of Shumla has readied us by different chan nels, it does not seem to be fully confirmed. The official publication of the treaty of peace is every moment expected. (From a more recent letter from Vienna, it ap pears that mercantile letters from Bucharest, re ceived on the 26th of [September, have announced and spread the report that peace was signed on the 14th.) (From the Journal des Debcrts.) PARIS, OCT. s.—The communications of the Mi niiiry on the affairs of the East, seem always des tined to increase the uncertainty which envelopes their denozien2ent. _ In the article which we borrowed yesterday from the official Journal of the evening, and which an nounced the accep'ance of the Treaty by the Grand Seigncr, all the ill-humour of the French Cabinet manifested itself in these words :—" The conditions of Russia are less moderate than had at first been ima gined." Perhaps they flattered themselves that Niallmotui would be let off unpunished, and that the Emperor Nichola3 would give him up his fortresses again ! The Ministerial Journal promised us the particulars the following day, and this is what we now find in it : " The Russians demanded of the Porte 10,000,000 of duezts (about 120,000,000 of francs) for the war indemnity, and 1,500,000 for the commercial in demnity. The latter sum will be divided into aree payments, the first to be immediate; they will re main at Adrianople till they shall have received the second; and they will repass the Balkan as soon as they have received die third. " The occupation of the principalities will continue till the entire payment of the war indemnity, for which Russia grants the Porte ten years. " The signature of the treaty will not be sufficient to prevent the advance of the troops ; the ratifications must he exchanged ; and General Diebitsch was au thorised, in the name of the Emperor, to exchange the ratification; on behalf of Russia. " The Grand Seignor has accepted all, and has placed himself, in respect to his ulterior conduct, at the discretion of the AmbaFsadors of France and England. " The Grand Seignor has likewise declared that, in respect to the affairs of Greece, he refers all to the aonferenres at London. " It is not doubted at . Constantinople that the l 3 rand Seignor will transmit with speed to General Diehitsch the ratification of the treaty, which can •lone suspend the march of the 'Russian troops. " We should add, that if the whole of the war indemnity be paid within the period of ten years, the evacuation will follow as matter of course." Now Jet us read what is stated in the Augsburg Gazette of the 30th of September, under the head of P‘ Vienna, September 25." " An English courier, who quitted Constanti nople on the 10,14 and arrived here last night, has brought intelligence that Pie Treaty was not yet s i gne d, I n that it was daily expected that the Sul tan ►vould agree to it, since General Diebitsch had declared that, at the expiration of the time fixed, he would advance with his whole army upon the ca pital. The following are believed to be the condi tions : " Russia is to receive'an indemnity of 30,000,000 of ob!es, and a period of 20 years is granted for its payment, during which the principalities of Silistria are to contiNie in the occupation of the Russians. An indemnity of 48,000,000 of Turkish piastres is stipulated for besides, payable in three instalments, for the loss sustained by commerce. After the first payment the Russians will retire as far as the Bal kan ; after the second they will retreat into Bulgaria ; and after the third to the Danube. The fortresses of Anapa, Poti, Akhalzik, and Akalkalaki, are ceded to Russia. The fortresses of Tarlton!, Kaleh, iGiurdzevo, and Brailon, are to be razed, nod not restored. The five separated districts of Servia are to be united, and to enjoy the same privileffes.— Lastly, the Porte is to accept the protocol of the 22d of March." . It appears, then, according to the German Jour nal, that on the 10th of September there prevailed at Constantinople an expectation only of peace, but no treaty was s;gned; whilst the French Ministe rial Journal tells us that nothing remained to be done but an exchange of ratifications, We must consequently wait for further intelligence, or for re velations without concealments. The conditions, according- to the report of them in the Augsburg Gazelle, cannot be vastly to the taste of the Polignac-Wellington Ministry; and petelsnp3 the secret of their silence mPy be found in ihrir mortification.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From tl:e Moniteur of Tuesday.) PARIS, Ocr. 6.—The Government has received news from Constantinople, dated the 16th of Sep tember, of the signature of peace between Russia and the Porte, at Adrianople, on the 14th. It is affirmed that the two Powers have agreed upon the following conditions:— " The Ancie•tt Treaties,particularly that of Aker mann, are re-stablished ; the free passage of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles is assured to ships of all nations, tvlielt shall not be at war with Russia or the Porte. The privileges and liberties stipula ted by the Treaty of Akermann for the inhabitants of the Principalities are confirmed, and mere com pletely secured. Servia shall enjoy the same privi leges and liberties—six districts, which have been improperly separated from that province by the Turks, shall be re-united to it. All the places on the left bank of the Danube shall belong to Wallachia and Moldavia, and shall be exempt from Turkish garrisons. Ghiurgevo shall be demolished, Poti, Anapa, and Akhalzik, ceded to Russia. The Pro tocol of the 22d of March is recognised, subject to negociations with the Powers, parties to the Treaty of London. Christian subjects may emigrate with their property." (The remainder, respecting the indemnity, is a repetition of what was published in the Moniteur of the sth.) (From the illessager des Chambres.) SZCOND EDITION. PARIS, OCT. G.—The Al lgemeine Zeitung of the 2:1 of October has an article dated from Vienna, Sept. 27, stating that several commercial expresses had brought the news of the conclusion of peace on the 14th. The whole treaty is composed of du ee separate acts : I. The treaty of peace in sixteen articles. 2. A convention in four articles, all the clauses o: which are very much detailed. 3. A separate act for the principalities of Mol davia and Wallachia. (The teems coincide with those above quoted from the Moniteur, with a few more detaili.) , The Pruth shall continue to form the boundaries of the two empires in Europe. The indemnity of one million and a half of ducats for the losses of the merchants, shall he paid in three instalments of half a million each—the first at the exchange of the ra tification of the Treaty—the second in six months, and third in twelve months. One month after the payment of the first instalment the Russian troops shall evacuate Adrianople. Kirkilissa, Kale, Bourgas, Midis, and Iniada. One month after the payment of the seconnd instalment they shall repass the Balkan; and one month after payment of the last half million they shall evacuate the re mainder of Bulgaria and of Dobrudschn, with the exception of Silisttia, and shall repass the Danube. Silistrio and the principalities shall be occupied by the Russian troops till the payment of the whole in demnity for the expence• of the svar,fixed at ten mil lions of Dutch ducats. Ghiurgevo is to be delivered up to the Russian troops in 1.5 days after the s;gna tore of the Treaty. The Turkish garrison to carry away its artillery and ammunition to Rudschttk. The inhabitants of Gidurgevo may also go to Rudschuk, with all their property. The Princes of Wallachia and Moldavia shall hold their dignity for life, and except an annual tribute, shall have nothing to pay to the Porte. The .2Wonifeur says, " the King has just given orders for the detachment of his troops which was left in the Morea immediately to embark, and return :o France.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Communication of Mr. WIRE came too late, our first form had gone to press. *Et r - -4 .- .. , 7 „. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1829. The Prussian State Gazette of the 30th September and the 2d October have been re ceived this morning, and confirm the intelligence which we gave yesterday, that Peace had been signed on the 14th of September, at Adrianople. The Prussian Ambassador at Constantinople was mainly instrutnental in contributing to the signing of the Treaty within the time prescribed by General DIEBITSCII. With respect to the terms upon which Peace is granted to the SULTAN, it appears to us, that however hard and humiliating they may be, the SULTAN richly deserves them, for it is entirely owing to his ridiculous obstinacy that the war commenced at all—and after having commenced, that it did not terminate with the first campaign, when both parties might have retired from the contest without dishonour.— But while we condemn the obstinacy and pride of the Turks, we cannot praise the ambition of the Russians, nor can we be blind to the insidious policy by which they contrive to keep pcssession of the conquered corn - try till, after the instalments are paid. It must be obvious to any one, that if the Russians do not re-cross the Balkan till after the third instalment is paid, that they will not be in a hurry to re-cross it at all. It is their object to remain—and every subterfuge will be resorted to for the accomplishment of that purpose. In the meantime, there will arise numberless oppor tunities to conciliate the Turkish population, and when her plans are ripe, Russia wil l set up new demands or misconstrue the o'.d , while the Emperor NICHOLAS will be relieved from any scruples of conscience which his pro fessions of moderation have lately thrown in the way of his ambition. The following are extracts from the Prussian Gazette, the Austrian Ob server, and the Allgemeine Zeitung:— WARSAW, SEPT. 26. A despatch from General Count Diebitsch Sitbat kausky announces that on the 14th instant a defini• tive treaty of peace was signed at Adrianople, be. tween the Plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the Em. peror and those of the Sultan. WARSAW, SEPT. 28. We have learned from an authentic source the following particulars of the circumstances which irn mediately preceded the conclusion of peace :—" In order to remove as far as possible the objections which the Turkish Plenipotentiaries charged with the negociations at Adrianople appeared latterly to oppose to the definitive conclusion of the treaty of peace, and in the well-founded apprehension, that in case General Diebitsch should find that the time which he had positively fixed was suffered to elapse without effect, the inevitable consequence would be the advance of the army against the capital, M. Von Royer, Prussian Ambassador to the Porte, resolved, at the express desire of the Sultan, and the urgent reques►t of the Ambassadors of England and France, to embark without delay for Rodosto, and thence to proceed to the head-quarters of General Diebitsch, to remove the difficulties. His exertions essentially contributed to the signing of the treaty of peace within the time given to the Porte." 'VIENNA, SEPT. 27. Sitrultaneou3 accounts from Bucharest and Sem iin announce the signing of peace between Russia and the Porte, at Adrianople, on the 14th Sept. PERA, SEPT. 10. Ever since the sth instant, when an express from the Turkish Plenipotentiaries at Adrianople brought despatches to the Porte relative to the progress of the negotiations, all the Turkish aria European Mi nisters have been in motion, and the Diplomatists betray an uneasiness which will scarcely be calmed till the realm of M. Von Royer, who, after a long conference with Sir Robert Gordon and Count Guilleminot, set out on the Bth, in the evening, for the Russian head-quarters. It seems, that the terms demanded by Russia are the cause of all this bustle ; the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, though fur nished with unlimited powers from the Sultan, would not venture, before they had received farther instructions, to put their names to a treaty, the ful filment of which they conceived to be impossible, because the payment of 48 millions of Turkish piastres for the indemnity of Russian subjects, stipu. fated by the treaty of Akermant, is to be made im mediately on the ratification of the treaty of peace, and General Diebitsch has declared that the Russian army shall remain in its present positions till the payment is made. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries had succeeded in obtaining a delay of ten days to procure fresh instructions,which have now been sent to them, with directions to sign the treaty, and to declare to General Diebitsch that he will mot refuse hi s ratification, and that he expects from the gene- rosity of the Emperor conditions which he will be able to fulfil. M. Von Royer seems to hare gone to the Russian head-quarters, at the desire of the French and English Ambassadors, in order to obtain from General Diebitsch a modification of the de mand of 48 millions of piastres immediately on the ratification of the treaty, so that one-third only should be paid immediately, and the remainder in certain intervals. At the same time he is to en deavour to obtain an important alteration in one article of the treaty relative to Greece, and at which the two Ambassaders are greatly surprized. This article is stated to be to the following effect : " That the Porte shall recognize not only the treaty of London of 6th of July, but also the protocol of March 22, and to engage to assent to the extension of the boundaries of Greece to the Gulfs of Volo and Arta." This stipulation by no means accords with the instructions of the two Am bassadors, and they therefore exert them selves to the utmost that the arrangements to be made respecting Greece may be left to be tettled at the conferences at London. From the Porte Sir R. Gordon could only obtain the declaration that it wishes the Greek question to be settled at London, and leaves the fate of Greece to be discussed there, provided the Russian General gives his consent. We are now impatient for the next accounts from Constantinople, and do not doubt that peace is at hand. The other more important points are said to be the demolition of all the Turkish fortresses on the left bank of the Danube. (The remainder of this article, respecting the cessions in Asia, the pay ment of the indemnity, & c . co i nc id es w i t h t h e state ments received through other channels ) The Turkish fortresses to be demolished are, Ghiurgevo, Kale, Tournoul, and Ibrailow, which being on the left bank of the Danube are to be in corporated with the principalities on which they are situated. The French Papers of Tuesday have been re ceived by Express. They too confirm the news of peace, and give some particulars of the terms, which will be found in another column. `We have the confirmation of peace in the East now pouring in from all quarters. The news was received by the Dutch Government on Sunday last. The following are extracts from Brussels Papers of the 7th instant : NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, AUG. 4. His Excellency the President arrived here yes terday, and paid a visit to General Trezel, who has been here for some days, and who was hindered going to Argos by the weakness following a long NI, Muller, Covernor of the fort Palamilli, flied of a fever a few days ago. This young Witte,m berg officer has been Three years in the service of Greece, and fought under Colonel Fabvier at Chai dari, near Athens, where he was wounded by a musket ball August 18, 1826. His premature death is generally regretted. BRUSSELS, OCT. 5. His Majesty has granted his placet to the bulls of the Bishops of Liege, Tourney, and Ghent. OCT. 6.—His Majesty will leave the Palace of Lakin on the 7th, and go to the Hague. The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at the Palace of the Prince of Orange on the 4:h, in the evening. Our Government received the news of the con clusion of peace between Russia and the Porte, by an extraordinary courier on Sunday last. No particulars of the treaty of peace, signed between Tifikey and Russia, have reached Go vernment, up to the time of our going to press. Dispatches were received at the Foreign Office this morning from Lord STUART DE ROTH. SAY, our Ambassador at Paris, and from Sir CEIARLES BAGOT, at Brussels. At the Colonial Office dispatches have been received from Colonel PONSONBY, Governor of Malta. The following is from our Paris Correspon- dent :-- " PARIS, OCT. 6. " The French Government has received in- telligence, dated from Constantinople on the 16th of September, that the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey had been signed at Adria. nople on the 14th ult. Having been brought by telegraph, and, in fact, repeated along the two lines from Strasburg and Toulon, the de tails are not so minute as hereafter they will be but the following particulars may be relied on : The ancient treaties, and particularly that of Akermann, are re-established. The free pas sage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles is assured to ships of all nations not at war with Russia or Turkey. The liberties and privileges of the inhabitants of the principalities, stipu- lated in the treaty of Akermani', arc renewed, and more completely confirmed. Servia is to enjoy the same liberties and privileges with Mol davia and Wallachia ; and six districts, which had been unduly separated from that province, are to be again united to it. All places on the left bank of the Danube are to belong to the principalies of Wallachia and Moldavia, and are to be exempted from the maintenance of Turkish garrisons. The fortress of Giurgevo is to be demolished. Poti, Anapa, and Achalzick, with some portion of territory, are ceded to Russia - . The protocol of the 22d of March is recog nized, without prejudice to negociations with the great Powers, parties to the treaty of Lon don. All Christian subjects are to have power to emigrate with their fortunes. A mutual ces sation of arms is to take place between the Greeks and the Turks. The Porte is to pay an indem nity to the' commerce of Russia of 1,500,000 ducats, equal to about 750,0001. sterling. The indemnity for the expellees of the war is to be 10,000,000 of ducats, nearly equal to 5,000,000/. sterling. Ten years are allowed for the payment, but sooner at the option of the Porte ; the final evacuation of the Ottoman ter r;tory taking place only after the liquidation of the whole indemnity. " To these authentic particulars a great many speculations are added in the course of circula tion, but in which it is impossible to place any confidence. It is said, for instance, that the treaty had been concluded in opposition to the remonstrances of the French and English Am bassadors. It is even stated that they had pre pared to oppose it, and had given orders to the Allied fleets to enter the Dardanelles. Under these circumstances it is averred that the Sultan applied to the Russian General to come to his assistance, and that in compliance with the wishes of the Porte, General Diebitsch had im mediately marched on Constantinople ; and this statement is given as a solution of the various contradictions on that subject. Hence it is con cluded, that although a peace has been signed between Russia and Turkey, hostilities in the East of Europe are not yet at an end. For my part, I am not disposed to allow much weight to the rumours which have thus been circulated, or to the apprehensions which have been deduced from them. The treaty appears to be quite as moderate as could have been reasonably antici pated under all the circumstances. The pecu niary indemnity is not near so great as many had predicted ; and as to territorial acquisitions, they are, with reference to European politics, absolutely insignificant. Anapa is a small town, situated at the extremity of the west side of Asia, and almost surrounded by the territory of the Cossacks of the Black Sea. Poti, placed at the mouth of the Phasis, is also like Anapa, an isolated point, which the Turks must sooner or later have lost, after the occupation of Georgia by the Russians. As to the fortress of Achal zick, as its territory forms a salient angle be tween imeretia and Georgia, it is not surprising that the Russian Cabinet should be desirous of uniting it to the Imperial possessions beyond the Caucasus, since a body of troops placed ois that point might march in a few days to the gates of Tiflis. It seems unreasonable, therefore, to tax the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh with ambition, for having demanded the cession of those for tified places which threatened the safety of seve ral of the provinces of the empire. The only stipulation of the tre a ty which app ears t o me t o warrant any serious alarm, is the long period granted for the payment of the indemnity, joined • to the nature of the pledge which is given in security. Moderate as this indemnity may be considered in amount, it is not improbable that the Porte will at least require the whole of the stipulated period for its liquidation. Before that period arrives some other event may befall, in the chapter of accidents, to enable the Imperial creditor to foreclose the mortgage, and appro priate the security ; and if such an issue is really an object to be deprecated by the great Powers of Europe, it . seems at least to be worthy of consideration whether they should not, in legal phraseology, take an assignment to the debt, and by paying the money, invest themselves with the rights and privileges of the creditor. " As a result of the pacific intelligence from the East, I understand that orders either arc already, or are about to bc, despatched to the troops in the Morea, to return immediately to France. " It is officially announced that the Count de Beugnot has been appointed to the Presidency of the Department of Commerce and the Colo nies. His opinions and principles have hitherto been so extremely flexible, that it would be diffi cult at this moment to say what they are, if we were not entitled to form some judgment on the subject from the well-known tenets of the-poli tical party with whom he is now associated. In 1815 M. de Beugnot voted on the minority, and was then the declared adversary of M. de Bour donnaye. Since that period he has traversed all the sections and shades of party, which separate the left from the extreme right. During the Ministry of M. Decazes he sat in the centre, and supported all the projects of the Minister. Since 1820 M. de Beugnot has ceased to belong to the Chamber of Deputies, and the public had almost forgotten him. It is said that he had been promised a Peerage by M. Decazes, and that the promise has been renewed by every suc cessive Ministry, without being fulfilled ; thus placing him in rather an awkward position with regard to those on whom the promotion de pended. He is understood to be intimately con nected with M. de Villele, and some even go so far as to say that the secret influence of the ex- Minister, and his own ulterior designs, have brought about the present appointment. " I observe it stated, in private letters from Trieste, of the 25th of September, that the communications between London, Malta, and Corfu, had, for three weeks before, been ex treinely twimated, and that three regiments were expected from England to strengthen the British force in the lonian Islands, although the garri sons of Corfu, Cephalonia, and St. Maura, al ready amounted to 10,000 men. " The French frigate Galatea has lately ar rived at Toulon from Navarin, having touched on the passage at Alexandria. The Pacha of Egypt is said to have paid a visit to the Com mander of the Galatea, and to have remained several hours on board, making rich presents in arms and refreshments to the Officers and crew. This is believed to be the first occasion which the Pacha has ever taken to see the interior of a European ship of war." New York Papers have been received to the 16th September, and other Papers from various parts of America, the principal contents of which relate to the descent of the Havannah ex pedition near Tampico, but there was every ex pectation entertained that it would be completely defeated. The following was posted at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning : Extract of a letter dated Vera Cruz, Aug. 15 : The Spanish Expedition, about 3,500 men, effected a landing on the 28th ult. at Cabo Roxo, near Tampico. Is hich latter place they hare since taken. 1 his keeps us in suspense as to our opera tions, not that we fear any unfortunate result, for the Spanish force is very trifling, and as this Go vernment is concentrating far superior forces, they must soon either re-embark or deliver up their arms. But in the mean time business is naturally affected, although we have no doubt of its revival, after the expulsion of the Spaniards, as this success must in spire the Mexican and satisfy the Spanish Govern ment of the folly of sending their paltry expeditions against this country. General Santa Anna has the command of the forces operating against the Spaniards, and we anticipate much from his enter prise and experience. Previous to leaving this with the expedition he was under the necessity of enforcing a loan, which he did from the native and Spanish met chants, but exempted all the foreigners, whom he always endea vours to favour and protect. We learn from Denmark that Foreign Porce lain is now admitted into that kingdom on pay ment of 30 per cent. duty on the value.

John flames and John Clements were charged with robbing Henry King of eleven shillings and three six pences. It appeared that the prisoners were coach-cads; that the prosecutor, who is a hackney-coachman, was sleep ing; in the tap-room of the watering-house in Newcastle court, at about half-past three this morning; the prisoners were also there. When King went to sleep he had eleven shillings and three sixpences in his pocket, and when he awoke he found that his breeches-pocket bud been cit through, and his money extrAeted. He procured an aft er , and described two of the shillings and one of the sixpences. The prisoners had left the house befute he awoke, but on their return the officer searched them, and the thre. piecesl of nion.y which King had described were found in their possession. They now denied all knowledge of the robbery, and stated that the money found was their own. Sir R. BiriNzE, however, fully committed them for trial. BI RNIINGII - A - 31 MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

Mr. i'lalcolm's genius is of a very pi.easing descriptive character. He published some two or three years since, we remember, a volume of poems, which were distinguished by their graphic skill and the easy national flow of their versifica tion. The present work, which is a collection of prose talcs, alternating between the grave and the gay, possesses similar qualities, and as it has little or no assumption about it, no meritricions decorations of style, no forced vigour of senti ment, it can scarcely fail to please. The part, however, that has afforded us the greatest grati fication is decidedly that which is devoted to military sketches and reminiscences. The author has himself been a soldier, he served, if we understand rightly, through the greatest parts of . the Peninsular campaigns, and closed his military career at the battle of Waterloo. Of course, doming this varied and eventful period, he cannot but have witnessed much that is well worth nar rating, and accordingly in the volume before us, we have a few sketches of a soldier's life which are nearly, if not quite equal,—whether we re gard their spirit, their interest, or the manner in which they are detailed—to any thing we re member in the " Subaltern." As a specimen, we present the reader with the description of a brandy-drinking Irish Lieutenant. It bears evident marks of having been drawn from life. " Jack O'Flanagan was a native of the South of Ireland, somewhat above the middle size, and apparently not under middle age ; or, if he really was as young as he professed to be, toil had forged the hand-writieg of time with such fe licity, that no one could have suspected the deceit ; in other words, the crow's-foot had made a deep impression at the corner of each eye, and numerous wrinkles mean dered over his brow. In the construction of his eyes, nature had deviated from her general plan—they might indeed well be said to Le matelless, inasmuch as they bore no kind of resemblance to each other, one of them squinting in a most unusual degree, and the other having what is cslled, a cast. The former, with a bewildering dubiety of direction, seemed to ogle two or three objects at once, while the 'Ater, which occupied a situation about half an inch higher in the face, like a jealous guardian, seemed to keep a watchful outlo , ik upon the little leering libertine below, least it should wander away after the dal k-eyed Donnas of the land. Collapsed cheeks and a mouth having a leaning to one sid e of hi s f are ; f orme d i ts remaining pe culiarities, and his cravat or stock be wore so lomie as to afford a distinct view of a long scraggy neck, rising from a narrow pedestal of shoulders, one of which ambitiously overtopped the other, and terminated in a sharp knob, whereon his epaulet, like the dove of the ark, finding no resting-place, slid from its bony pinnacle, and hung down upon his back in drooping repose. His legs were the smallest on which warrior uver todd'ed forth to battle, and Jack, with an infatuation, common to men of his make, constantly exposed them in tights. During the whole of the Peninsular campaigns, the toils of which . _ Jack had suffered and survived, he had lived chiefly like a wood-cock, upon auction, and in the absence of his favourite national beverage, potheen, had solaced himself with rum and brandy, in which articles of daily consumption most of his cash was liquidated." THE ANATOMY OF DRUNKENNESS. GLASGOW, 1829. There are two subjects which from time to time, from the days of Anacreon down to those of Captain Morris, have been almost exclusively the property of poetry, namely, love and wine. Of the former we shall say nothing, it is a diffi cult subject, and requires peculiarly delicate handling ; but, as regards the latter, we believe, on our conscience, that for two bards who have chaunted the praises of " Apollo and Mercurius, and the rest," twenty, to say the least of it, have sung those of Bacchus and his first-born, Drun kenness. Indeed, the worship of this deity is the only relic of Paganism that yet clings to the institutions of England. In this respect the ma jority of our countrymen are absolute Methodists. They have the enthusiasm without the hypocrisy of fanatics, and offer up their devotions to Bac chus with the same zeal with which the late Mr. Huntingdon dedicated his corduroy breeches to the Lord. Even in Rabeiais's time they were famous for these specially devout propensities, and to be " drunk as nu Englishman,'' was a phrase adopted on the Continent to express that extreme stage of inebriety in which the victim can neither speak, nor;move, see nor hear. Such being the former, and in a more partial degree, the present popularity of this habit throughout the exemplary country of Great Britain, what wonder that it should draw forth the fancies of her poets, and excite the curiosity of her philo sophers ? What wonder that the former should declaim, and the latters peculate, on a propensity which sets out by lifting the devotee to Heaven, and ends by leaving him on the floor? Which, upon the old Propertian principle of " sine Baccho friget Venus," accelerates the march of love, thaws the chill resolves of celibacy, and puts to an awkward test Mr. Sadler's Theory of Population ? The very able and accomplished author of the little volume before us, (Mr. Robert Mac nish, of Glasgow), seems fully awake to all the various phenomena of drunkenness, and has searched into, explained, and suggested reme dies for them, with a care, a precision, a minuteness, and a diligence, which are almost without parallel in the annals of pathology. No thing seems to have escaped him. From the first crude stage of inebriety, when the tippler is all song and sunshine, and sociality, down to the last closing scene, when his limbs refuse their office, his tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth, and his brain seems possessed by Beelzebub, and " seven others more wicked than himself," from the alpha, in short, to the omega of the business, Mr. Macnish has proved an adept. What, for instance, can be more strictly true, and, at the same time, more animated than his account of the sensations of incipient drunkenness ? " First, an unusual serenity prevails over the mind, and the soul of the votary is filled with a placid satisfaction. By degrees, he is Fensible of a soft and nut umnusical hum • ming in his cars, at evety pause of the conversation. He seems to himself to wear his head lighter than usual on his shnteders. Then a s: , ecies of obscurity, thinner than the finest mist, passes bef,re his eyes, and makes him see ob jects rather indisti nc tly. The lights hewn to dance an d appear doubl e . A gaiety and warmth are . felt nt the same time about the heart. The imagination is expanded anal filled with a th ousan d d el i ght f u l i mages . Now comts a spirit of universal contentment with the world. The drunkard thinks no more of misery ; it is dissolved in the bliss of the moment. This is the acme of the fit—the ex tacy is now perfect. As yet the sensorium is in tolerable order : it is only shaken, but the capability of thinking with accuracy still remains. About this time the drunkard pours out an the se. rets of his soul. Ilia qualities, good or ha I, come forth without reserve ; and now, if at any time, dm human heart may be teen into. In a short period, he is seized with . a most 4:m..l:trite propinsity to talk nonsense, though he is perfectly conscious of doing so." This last fact reveals the secret of many an after-dinner oration, and may probably afford a clue to the curious absurdities so plenteously developed in a late much-vaunted ultra Philippic. We continue the des cr ip t i on . - " After this the scene thickens. The drunkard's ima gination gets disordered with the most grotesque concep tioos. Instead of moderating his drink, he pours it down more rapidly than ever ; glass follows glass with reckless energy. His head becomes perfectly giddy. The candles burn blue, or green, or yellow, and where there are per haps only three at the table, he sees a dozen. According to his Louperament, he is atnorouq, or musical, or quarrel some. Many possess a most extraordinary wit, and a great flow of spirits is a general attendant. In the latter stages the speech is thick, and the use of the tongue in a great measure lost. The drunkard's mouth is half open, and idiotic in the expression, while his eyes are g',..sed, waver ing, and watery. He is apt to fancy he has offended sonic one of the company, and is ridiculously profuse with his apologies. In attemptinz to run, he conceives that he passes over the ground with astonishing rapidity. Houst s reel from side to side as if they had lost their balance, trecs and steeples nod like tipsy bacchanals, and the very earth seems to slip from under his feet, and leave him walking and floundering upon the air. The last stage of drun kenness is total insensibility. The man tumblee perhaps beneath the table, and is carried away in a state of stupor to his couch. In this condition be is said to be dead chunk." This is vigorous writing, and proves that no thing has escaped the inquisitorial scrutiny of Mr. Macnish. In a subsequent chapter, he details with equal spirit the different orders and degrees of drunkards. We have first the semi mental ; secondly, the amorous ; thirdly, the pug nacious ; and, fourthly, the religious drunkard. The first of these is usually, like Master Slender, of a peculiarly timid nature. He is fond of being " melancholy and gentlemanlike," has a slim bilious countenance, no calves to his legs, and thinks he looks well in tights. We have re• peatedly fallen in with this class of tipplers, and have invariably found them people of slender pretensions to brains, with an amazing relish, nevertheless, for Rosseau and Byron. The amorous drunkard is of a much more entertain ing character. He has not unfrequently red hair, and eyes fraught with the transparent pro perties of a gooseberry. In making love, he is always sure, with a " curiosa infelicitas," to pick out the rrost forbidding creature possible. In tending to press the fair hand of Mary, aged six teen, lie squeezes the mutton fist of Tabitha, aged sixty—an ugly mistake, but one which, like " accidents," will occasionally " take place even in the best regulated families." Being some what protuberant in front, he fancies himself a model of sylph-like symmetry, sighs languish ingly, notwithstanding he is near four feet round the waist, and conceives that he is an Adonis, even though lie be a decided Buckhorse. Of the pugnacious drunkard we have little or no thing to say. He is an animal to be held in respectful abhorrence, and meanly should we think of our discretion, if, when he asserted that black was white, we should venture for an in stant to dispute his position. The religious drunkard is commonly a great rogue, and still greater hypocrite. He thinks to cheat Provi dence in his sobriety, and propitiate Satan in his cups. He will tell you that his " little infir mity" crept unawares upon him, from a thirsty habit he had acquired by singing psalms. That he prefers spirits to wine, seeing that they are no where spoken about in the Scriptures. The Ordinary in "Jonathan Wild" was a drunkard of this description, and took religiously to punch, because after an attentive perusal of the New Testament, lie could not discover that it was objected to. The reader who meets with a tippler of this complexion will do well to look to his watch and purse, or both will assuredly vanish. All these various orders of drunkards, together with some few others that we cannot stop to enumerate, Mr. Macnish has described with a power, and minuteness of observation, equalled only by his eloquence. His next point—taking it for granted that " once a drunkard always a drunkard "—is to give a list of those liquors which are the most beneficial, or rather the least injurious, to the constitution. Spirits he de cidedly condemns, a condemnation which we perused with a heart- felt pang, when we reflect t hat Scotch whiskey—a nectar fit for the Gods, and out of which the social toddy is manufac tured—was on the list of the proscribed. Ale, however, (and this is something), may be taken, says Mr. Macnish, with comparative safety. He does not add what ale, but we conclude, of course, that it must be Welch, inasmuch as this beverage is by far the most nourishing of the prolific family of the ales, and richly deserves the " Ex-ale-tation with which the witty Bishop Andrews once complimented wine. Altogether our author's volume is one of a most amusing character to those who seek mere amusement, while to those who look for information it will be found eminently instructive. DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. LADY BAR- HAM.-We have the painful task to report the death of this deeply lamented 144, who expire I, after a short ill ness, at Barhim Court, early on Sunday morning last.

CURIOUS A:NECDOTES OF NAPOLEON It was before the departure for I . !_zypt that INT. de Bourrienne, without any particular inten tion on his part, as he tells us in his Alemoirs, and merely to say something and bleak a long silence, asked Napoleon if he were positively de termined to quit France. The reply was " I have tried every thing. They won't have me. (He alluded probably to the place of Di rector.) It would be necessary to upset them, and make myself king; but that must not be thought of yet ; the nobles would never consent to it. I have already taken my soundings ; the time is not yet come ; I should be by myself: I will still dazzle these people.' iNTy only answe r was, Well, let us go to Egypt and I changed the conversation." On one former occasion he had already expressed similar views.— M. tie Bourrienne says,—" lie renewed, but without success, the attempt which he had made before the 18th Fructidor to obtain a dispensation as to age to entitle him to be a Director : perceiving that things went. against him, he said to me, on the 29th of January, 1798, Bourrienne, I will not remain here ; there is nothing to be done here. People will not listen to anv thing ; I see that, if I remain, I must very shortly go down. Every thing wears out here. My glory is already becoming dim. This little spot, Europe, does not afford enough. I must go to the East ; there is the only theatre for names greatly glorious. However, I would first make a tour to the coast, in order to judge from my own observation what may be under taken. I will take you with me, you, Lannes, and Sulkowsky. If the descent on England shall appear doubtful, as I fear it will, the army of England shall become the army of the East, and lam off to Egypt.' This conversation, with others of a similar tenor. give a true idea of his cha racter. He always considered war and conquests as the most noble and the least exhaustible sources of his glory. He loved this glory with passion : the idea of seeing it tarnished amidst the idle ness of a Paris life, while new bays were grow ing in foreign climates, was intolerable. His imagination had already inscribed his name on those gigantic monuments, the only ones, per haps, of all the works of man which hear the stamp of eternity. Proclaimed already the most illustrious captain of his time, he sought in an cient times for rival names which his own might eclipse. If Car fought fifty battles, he de sired to fight a hundred ; if Alexander left Macedonia to go to the temple of Ammon, he would start from Paris fez- the cataracts of the Nile. While by such means he should be keeping renown alive, events, bethought, would succeed in France which would render his return necessary and opportune ; his place would be ready for him, and he would not come an unknown or a forgotten man to take it. Shouts of Viva Bonaparte,' and the incense which was prodigally offered him;did not change his actual position. But a short time before conqueror and ruler in Italy, and now the sub ject of a set of men whom he held as nought, and who looked on him as a formidable rival, he said to me, There is no exploit of which the re membrance lasts any time at Pa: is. If I remain long inactive I am lost. In this great Babylon one reputation ousts another; when I shell have bee seen three times at the theatre, 1 shall be more thought of, and therefore I shall go but seldom.' When h e vent it was in a private and close box. The managers of the opera offered him a grand special representation, but he declined. I le marked to him that it must nevertheless be gra tifying to him to see his fellow.eitizens crowd to see him. Bah ! the people would crowd as much to see use if I were on my way to the scaf fold.' A detachment of Life Guards (w•e believe the Ist) is expected on the 12th ; and Sir liensßive TAYLOR s understood to hare been at the barracks with Colonel TIL of the 15th Hussars, on Saturday, arranging for the quarters and ditties of the Guards and of the KING's escort.

The improvement in the demand for cotton , which we noticed in our publication on Monday, continued during the week. The sales reached, up to Friday after noon, 25,000 bags, and on Saturday they amounted to 4,000. Prices advanced id. to id, per lb., which ad vance was maintained for the finer qualities of cotton. On Satin day the dispute which had fir some time existed be tween the master and journeymen spinners at .Manchester, and which had partially stopped the working of several ►hills, was, we are happy to state, amicably settled. The fine spinners agreed to retort► to their work this morning, so that the mills will now resume their former activity. This gratifying event wil► have a favourable influence en our cotton. market, and will tend to improve still further the prices of the finer qualities of the staVe.—Liverpool Albino. Provincial theatricals are not in the deplorable state which has ben generally represented.

We have reason to believe that there is no truth in the reports which lace feat confidently pub fibbed in the papers, of the approaching retirement of Mr. CROKEIL from his office at the Admiralty.—Brighfon Gazette. We waited until the opportunity offered, and the cause exerted, of calling upon Mr. SADLER, either to admit or deny the following - expressions, which we posi tively ussei t he made on the hustings during the elec tion :—" These," said Mr. SADLER, " 'are really honest hearted fellows.

The re- `flit of p e . cx:•ited :s much feel. ing among those eng4ged in the nay.il service of the East India Company as a late Court-martial did in his Majesty's Navy. The charges preferred by Mr. I hyle tt, C.iptain Larhins's chief officer, were tiled before the Ship ping Committee, Captain William Stanley Clarke, President of the Cour'. The following is the official statement of the charges preferred against Captain Larkins:— " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMITTEE OF SIIIP- PING, EAST INDIA•IIOUSE„ " Honourable Sirs.,--In presuming to appear be fore you, believe me I have a painful task to per form ; but impelled by a sense of duty .which I owe to myself, and xvhich, to surrender, would be almost criminal, I have no alternative ; and feel bound to prefer the following charges against Captain Thomas Larkin., commander of the lion. Company's ship Marquis Camden:— " First Charge.—For putting me under close sr rest between the hours of two and three o'clock on the morning of the 13th of November, 1828, whilst moored in the Whampoa river, and although serious indisposition was the consequence of this solitary confinement, and my life was considered by some in imminent danger, vet it was not until the 25th of the same month, when, by the interference of the President and select Committee, an order waa issued by them for my immediate release. " Second Charge.—For challenging me to personal combat on the poop of the lion. Company's ship Marquis Camden, on the evening of the 2Gth of March, 1828, during the period that I was officer of he watch. " Third Charge.—For addressing me at various times during the voyage in language the most gross, revolting, and insulting; demoralizing in its example emanating from the commander of the ship, deroga tory to the character of a gentleman, disgraceful arid highly censurable as an officer in the Hon. Company's service. (Signed) " WM. HAYLETT, Chief Officer, H. C. S. Marquis Camden." The Court has sat upon these charges almost from Clay to day. Nearly all the officors and crew of the Marquis Camden have been examined at great length, and separate evidence taken on each distinct charge. Several of the common sailors spoke to the validity of the statements preferred by Mr.ilaylett, whilst, on the other hand the officers and part of the crew wholly negatived them. The evidence having been gone through, the Court proceeded to consider of its judgment. The complainant ►%as served with two distinct notices, apprizing him of the day on which the case was to be decided, but to neither of these notices was at tention paid. The Court therefore proceeded to sum up the merits of the ca , e in the absence of the accuser, and through the President, Captain Clarke, the Court honourably acquitted Captain Larkins, who imme diately received the congratulations of his friends. The Court of Directors of the Company, at the usual weekly meeting MI yesterday afternoon, con firmed, as is understood, the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, summonses for the assembling of which were issued on Sunday afternoon.

In the evening the Cabinet Ministers re assembled at the residence of the Duke of WELLINGTON in Dawnin-street, where his Grace entertained his col - leagues to dinner. Several of the Cabinet Ministers came to town to attend the Council ; the Duke of Wri.t.ric- TON nerived on Tuesday night from his seat at Strath fieldsaye, the Loan CHANCELLOR came from Wiltshire, Mr. Secretary l'Est, from the seat of his father in Staf- fordshire, and Mr. Hr.rtitirs from Sevenoaks, Kent.

In nine cases out of ten the desiderata entered in the Museum-book hare been found in the lib•wy, and the writers are requested to take the trouble to look over the catalogue. On Saturday morning a fire was discovered in the new building at Ickworai, the seat of the Marquis of BRISTOL, which app ars to hare originated in souse defect of the flue leading through the grand entrance-hall: a superb door was burnt, and it oecasilmd other damage to the amount of more than 100/.—Bury Herald. Among other persons engaged in extensive speculations for a rise in the Public S:curities at the pre sent moment, is said to bd a certain Foreign Prince resid ing at this Court, under the advice and directions of an eminent capitalist. This has given rise to much conver sation both in and out of the Stock Exchange, Wilt re the conduct of the Noble Foreigner has been deprecated in un reserved terms. Ministers, it is known, were not offi. cially acquainted with the signing of the Treaty of Peace between Ilusiia and Turkey, by Sir IL Gonnos, until the arrival of the despatch:s at the Foreign office yester day, and which are dated the 16th ult. ; hot they re ceived an intimation of the event from the Foreign Prince to whom we have referred on Sunday, which induced him to purebas.. Cot:srls to a very I,rge amount on the fol lowing day. The rumour is that certain pat t: are get ting out of their accounts, from the apprehension that, notwithstanding the conclusion of the peace in the East, the future arrangements may occasion sonic bustle, rn cloud the political horizon. This apprehension, it i.a added, has induced the Ptioce 311(1 his fro n..!s to throw a very lure am mot of stork ll' their bands. Another rumour is, that the ►peculations are reduced to a partner ship account between them,-21forning Chronicle, SPIRIT or THE PUBUQ JOURNALS. Attention is drawn in the City to the great smuggling concern which is now undergoing investigation. This induces us to revert to the first statement of it in the French Papers. In that it is said there were ten cases directed to Lord Stuart : three were suffered to pass ; seven were returned to Calais for re-exportation, the weight of which was upwards of 30 cwt. ! !.! It cost the Custom-house officers three days to ex amine the articles. It is said further, in the French Papers (we know not on what authority, for the statement is now denied), that it was at the demand of Lord Stuart that Prince Po lignae opposed the confiscation of toe seven cases in a council of Ministers. We really hope that Prince Polignac has not been weak enough to mingle himself in this affair; for by doing so he as much injures this country as his own. France is open to our commodities on paying affixed duties; and to admit British goods with out paying those duties is to defraud the fair trader on this side of the water, as well as to rob the industrious manufacturer on the other. Why were the goods sent back to Calais ? Why were they not confiscated ? Whence is it as serted that Lord Stuart, who ought to have been most indignant at the dishonest use of his name, appeared as the advocate for the re-embarkation of the seven packages. A cotemporary obligingly supplies us with an instance of the conduct of a very different person from Lord Stuart, under somewhat simi lar circumstances, and in a cargo of infinitely less value. " No," says M. David (the Admi nistrator of the French Customs), " it is not the Duke of Wellington who will request, a mark of courtesy,' that the abuse of the pri vilege of embassies be tolerated ; for his Grace, in 1817, having received in Paris some cases which had been conveyed to him without being visited, sent them back of his own accord to the Custom-house, in order Mat they might be confiscated, because they contained obj ects fo reign to his servi ce ." • Why, as the Cot:rier newspaper justly infers, with this example upon record, were the smuggled goods addressed to Lord Stuart only re-exported on detection, and not confiscated ? But to whom did the three packages go ? Not to Lord Stuart certainly, who lives rather like a person in lodgings than one keeping house. He could have no need of three large packages. However, we now find that what we surmised is the fact—that the affair is undergoing an investigation. A most nefarious one it is ; or rather one black act of a most nefarious system.

But the question does not hang on this ; nor will a court of law Or equity be the appropriate tribunal before which the " scale of even justice" must, in such a case, be balanced. What will the House of Com mons say to. a man who claims as " his own" property the votes by which its members are re turned ? I lere is a prima facie offence com mitted, in the ejection from their houses or grounds of all those who voted for a particular Candidate at Newark, and a continued • forbear ance as to all those who gave their votes to his adversary : the one candidate was notoriously brought forward on the Duke of Newcastle's in terest ; the other, whose voters have been visited with this ducal punishment, was notoriously op posed by the agents and dependents of his Grate. Are these no facts on which to raise a resolution of the Honse - of Common's ? Are they not more damning to the Duke of Newcastle, and more pregnant of disfranchisement to him, than ever 'was the receipt of bribes by the voters of Grampound, or any other contaminated bo rough, a fair cause for their destitution ? It is a promising circumstance for England that this audacious attack has been made on the frame and composition of Parliament. The Duke of Newcastle appertains to a party whose disgrace will draw sympathy from but few. Ministers are borne down by these wretched traffickers in boroughs, the revenues are devoured by them, and the peop!e at once oppresSed and insulted. The Duke of Newcastle himself may not have brains enough to see the full bearing of his own manceuvreq, but there are other " borough-mOn ,,ers" who can.---Ibid. The importance attached to the circumstances under - which certain packages addressed to the English Ambassador at the Court of France have been intercepted, and the rather over-strained inferences drawn from the want of an explana tion, have induced us to direct our inquiries to n source likely to , of authentic information. On this much-canvassed topic, our intelligence . is neither complete nor circumstantial ; but, so far as it goes, it may be safely relied on ; and, re have a sufficient assurance, that when the roper time arrives, we shall be put into full pos session of all the parts of this mysterious and awkward transaction. In the mean time, it may be as well to state, that a minute and severe scru tiny is decided on, and that so much is already known as completely not only to exonerate the Ambassador from all participation or connivance, but to establish indisputably his entire ignorance of the improper purpose to which the sanction of his station had been most -unwarrantably ap plied. We have thought it expedient to say thus much in this stage of the business, because we take the facts on the credit of an authority not m ie l y - to be in error, and utterly incapable of in- Lentional deception ; but we are perfectly cer tain that public opinion calls for a disclosure of ial the cireatinstances antecedent, anti accompanY ing, in teems 04 distinct, direct, and accurately pirenmsiantial, as the English language can ft.tibrd, or rigid official scrutiny can bring to light. The reason assigned for a temporary suppression of the facts already established is, that a prema ture disclosure might prejudice the pending in vestigation, if it did not defeat the ends of it altogether. In our present state of imperiect information we are unable to decide upon the validity of this reason ; but of this we are per fectly certain, that the sooner this mysterious re piexve is departed from, and the more full and exikcit the explanations given, the better will it be for all parties, with .the single exception of those (an i :l some such there must be) who will be consigned to well-merited ignominy.

In NindiAive attacks upon persons they forgt prin ciples—s 44 it is a principle of Whig (aloYern, inent to comeatand votes in Parliament by the proprietorship of boroughs. The Duke of Bed ford, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and other patriotic" Members of the House of Peers, are hit by the same k fiafis that are aiarie t cl At the Duke of Newcastle. Vie do not know any instance,: 0; the tenantry of the Noblemen whom we have 'tam ed having proved refractory at elections ;but, if they had, the Whig Press would not have poured :out tirades of indignant virtue" at their Lord4iips' attempting to preseive their pnlitical infinenpi by ejecting them. We are aware that, in taking up the subject in this way, we are only using the argunie;:t pd Iwnunem ; but it is sufficient foe the purpose 4 ; b ow ing that, whoever may have P right to complain ti the proceedings of the Duke Pf 'Newcastle in the borough in question, the supportßO of the principles of Whig GOVenment have none, 4,3'e say, moreover, that, as long as the system ;.lose boroughs exists, it inevitably carries ieh , a ilto the necessity of a harsh and jealous ex ercise of the rights of proprietorship, and the onfonement of an authority incompatible with the independent use of the elective franchise, We do not know what number of voters there are in the borough of Caine ; but, if they happened to be induced to give their votes against the nominee of the noble proprietor, we presume he would not tamely allow the mutiny in his camp to ° (crox into a t o tal abroirr‘ioil of his authority. Our objection is to the system itself, by whatever party it may be upheld; and we object to it, because it is hostile to the spirit as well as opposed to tho theory a the Consti tution. Freedom of Iteprese n tation is the b as i s of Parliamentary purity. We do-not mean to confound free-dom of " _epresentation with the avild dogmas of Annual Palliaroents and Uni vffsal Suffrage; but we certainly cannot identify it with any thing like the system of borough patronage. It is a maxim of the Constitution that a Peer shall not endeavour to influence the election of Members of Parliament, and it is, at least in theory, u breach of the privileges of the House of Commons for a Member of the Upper House to interfere with the exercise of the people's right to return Re presentatives. • The proprietorship of boroughs by Noble Lo-ds is directly in the teeth of this maxim;, but it is not fair that any party should endeavour to raise the public indignation against their opponents for doing that which they prAc tise themselves. One of the greatest evils aris ing from the monopoly of - boroughs, by particu lar families, • whether Whig or Tory, is, that whoever obtains the triumph, the people are sure to be the sufferers. The system is also a pro lific-source of immorality. It puts the dependent voters in the disagreeable dilemma of acting against their conscience or acting against their interests. If Serjcant Wilde were hereditary dictator of the borough of Newark, it is not likely that the inhabitants would enjoy more practical freedom in the exercise of the elective franchise than they do at present. His energies are enlisted on the popular side in the present instance, because his ambition is yoked to the same cause. His sympathies are all on the side of his personal aggrandizement. We do not blame him. He does what most men in his si tuation would do ; that is, takes advantage of existing circumstances in the borough to improve his own chance of becoming its future represen tative. This is all fair, perhaps, in the political battle which he has to fight. We blame the system which gives rise to such contests, in which the moral and social interests of the humbler classes of society are crushed between ambitious influences of rival politicians.—Morn lira Herald, • We presume that our readers are by this time tolerably well acquainted with the conduct of the Duke of Newcastle towards the people of New ark, as evinced in the expose given at the meet ing, of which afull report appeared in our Paper" yesterday ; and there is but little which it is ne cessary to add in the shape of comment, to the reflections which must necessarily occur to every one en a perusal of the report. The Courier regrets that " having conceived a change neces sary in the existing arrangement of his property in Newark, he should not have given a notice of his intention to make it before, instead of qfter, the late election"—a very civil mode, there is no doubt, of telling his Grace that the motives for his conduct cannot be mistaken ; but for our part we rejoice at the occurrence as one of the most perfect exemplifications of the mode in which the Constitution works, and the necessity of a re form in the representative system that could be imagined. What does his Grace say respecting the right of freemen to exercise their rights in the choice of a Member of Parliament ? " According to my interpretation of the adver tisement," says his Grace, " you meet to delibe rate on an interference between my tenants and me. Is it presumed, then, that I an: not to do what I will with my own ? or that I am to sur render my property, and the inherent rights be longing to it, into the hands of those that desire to deprive me of it ?'' So that, according to this interpretation, the right of property involves the right of oppressing every one who does not use the privileges attached to that property ac cording to the will of the superior Lord —or, in other words, the right of directing the political, as the Priests of the Roman Catholic Church guide the moral, conscience of their followers ! If this be time case, it is full time that the law were amended, and that instead of rendering it penal on the part of boroughmongers to interfere in elections, a clause were added to every lease, that the holder of it must act on all political oc• casions as the grantor of it would wish. But this is contrary to the law of the land, and most contrary, we should presume, to the principles of the Duke of Newcastle, who professes to hold in the utmost abhorrence any encroachment or innovation upon the Constitution even though that innovation should be in ccnformity with its spirit, and 4 . 0 r time good of the empire ; and how then, let us ask, can his Grace defend his present in terference ? He says he venerates the Constitu tion ; but if he does so, why oppress those who exercise their privileges in conformity with its spirit ? He says that Ile and his ancestors are famed for benevolence to the freemen of the borough of Newark ; but why, then, let us ask, destroy the work of ages, and establish by a single and uncalled-for act, a character for in juatace, oppression, and cruelty ? The whole matter is as open as daylight. There is not a jury in England, of honest men, who would not give a righteous verdict upon it ; and further comment is, in consequence, unnecessary ; but we cannot conclude without intimating what we 4.optv to be the fact, that 'his Grace's conduct will be a subject both of legal and Parliamentary investigation: Mr; Serjeant Wilde has not threatened in vain ; and tdr once the voice, both of the country and of the Government, are against the Duke.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon an inquisi tion was taken before Mr. NEWMAN, the Coroner, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of a very fine young woman, named Eliza Leach, aged 22, who destroyed herself by taking a quantity of arsenic, under the following afflicting circumstances : The Jury having viewed the body, which was lying in the dead-house, the following evidence was detailed by the witnesses : Mrs. Catherine Browne, wife of Mr. W. Tomlin son Browne, residing in Barnard's-inn, Holborn, con ductor of the business at the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane, deposed that she had know the deceased for the last seven years, and she had lived with her as a servant for about a month prior to her death. She was between 22 and 23 years of age. Wh en she first came into her service she was in very low spirits, she having been engaged to a young man, who courted her by way of marriageo3he banns had been published in church, and the day fixed for the nuptials, but she received a letter from the young man, stating that his aunt and grandfather wished the marriage to he put off. She grew more low spirited, and she (witness) sent fer the young mart, and requested him to fulfil his promise. He made no -answer, and shortly after went away, promising to come egain on the Sunday to state hie determi nation. He did not come, however, but sent a letter, of which the following is a literal copy : " Respected Madam,—l hope you will pardon my boldness in presuming to address you ; but as you take such an apparent interest in Elza's wel fare, and as some apology is certainly due from me for not keeping my appointment, I hope you will excuse rue. My failure on Sunday was caused by going down to Blackheath to consult my father on a very delicate subject. As you hare wished me to give a decisive answer to poor Eliza, all that I can say is, that I regret to say that it is impossible that I can ever marry her ; nor should I have delayed communicating as much to her before now, were it not from reluctance to part for ever with her, to spare her wounded feelings, and a hope that I might get over my difficulties, which hope has now completely vaniehed. " I am aware that I am placed in a peculiarly suspicious situation, end that whatever I advance may with propriety be doubted. I repeat that I regret being unable to unite myself with Din. I have no complaint to make of her; she has always conducted herself, as far as my knowledge extends, with the strictest virtue ami propriety. Neither do I doubt her affection, or her capabilities to under take the ditties of a wife. She has behaved to my satisfaction in every respect, nor did my intentions experience arty change until the last month. Hea ven knows I loved her dearly, and love her still. She hinted that I never hamlet] to marry her. What other motive could I have ? I call upon her to testify if I ever, by o ord or deed, gave her cause to blush, Great difficulty I bad to persuade my relatives to give their consent; and to the tardy consent of my aunt I attribute all the misery of having the feelings and affections of my heart torn asunder—of being stigmatised with the name of de ceiver and liar. I cannot write to her, and when in her company, were I to suffer death I cannot say We must part. Will you, madam, have the kind ness to inform her, in as gentle a manner as pos., sible, of the fact. I ant determined not to state the exact reason, and resign myself to the consequences. I am aware of the importance that may be attached to this letter ; but if punishment is her object, I will patiently submit to it, whether imprisonment or personal castigation ; the former may per haps be a charity, and as for the latter the stings of conscience are much more painful, and the more severe she is tire less %s ill it upbraid me. One thing greatly distresses me and tills me with remorse —her deserted state. Good God, it maddens ire to think what a fool I have been ! I have toiled hard to bring every thing to bear, and when all was accomplished to let the cup slip from my lips ! I deceived her when I told her my aunt refused to consent. If she was to go to Edmonton, perhaps tl!ey might bestow on her that portion of love I feel convinced they will now withdraw'from me. Would that it could be so Honoured lady, Eliza says you were offended at my silence when you condescended to talk to me. I hope, Madam, you will not attri bute it to disrespect. I really knew not what to say ; I could not but assent to the truth and just ness of your remarks, but I was so surrounded with difficulties I could not say yes; and while a shadow of hope retnaieed I would trot refuse. I sheuld certainly have come this evening, but from Eliza's words, and a circumstance or two lira came to my knowledge, I thought it was a premeditated meet ing, and I expected to meet others whom I . should be sorry to affront. " With great respect, I remain, honoured lady, yoor obedient servant, A. WILLIS. " Mrs. Brown, No. 2, B.:l.:lard's-ion, Fetter-lane, London." Post-mark—High Holborn, Sept. IS. Examination continued—She mentioned his de termination to her next day, and she became ex ecetlingly distressed ; and she afterwards very fre quently expressed tier intention of destroying her. self by drowning. Oa the Thursday before she took the poison she went to the lodgings cf the young Man (haring heard that he had married another), and endeavoured to see his wife, but he would riot let her, and she came home in a very dejected state. On the following Saturday (Saturday week) she left her house, and went to the !muse of Mr. Price, it Dualett's-buildings. $ By the CORONEIZ—From the Thursday to the Saturday she talked incoherently, and did nut appear to know• what she did. MN. Jane Brookes, wife of John Brookes, resid ing at No. 5, Wcll-yard, Little Britain, box-carrier at St. Bartholomew"sliospital, deposed that she had iittgwn the 4mtaseti about two years. On Satur day seinnight she met the deceased in the square of the hospital, and sber.told her she had taken a penny worth of arsenic. Witness was much alarmed, and a,ked her where she had got it ? She said at Dr. Dle's, in Holborn. Witness asked hei• why she h.ul taken it 9 She replied dill not know—sbe was mad. Y6tness tools her into the hospital 4 and the stomach pump was applied, and he remained there till her death. Mrs, Mary Godfrey, residing at No. 2, Blewitt's buildings, Fette-lane, stated that she had known' the deceased eight years. She had been out-asked in church to a young man named Willis, and her wedding-dress zas made; she had also taken a room in Dean-street, Fetter-lane, for herself and in tended 4.094 cilq4 toil wiipps.s the ring was bought.

Willis—l did, Sir. Juror—And the day fixed for the nuptials ? Wil lis—No, S'r, it was not; neither was the ring or the wedding-dress bought. Juror—Were you actually keeping company with this woman you have married at the time ? Wil lis—l hope you will not press that question, Sir.

Willis—l had, Sir, but nothing prejudicial to her character. Juror--Did you consider she was attached to you ? Willis—Yes, Sir, I have every reason to think so. Juror—llad she any knowledge of the person you have married ? Willis—Yes, Sir, but she was rot aware of my marriage. Juror—Has your wife any property ? None whatever. • _ _ _ Juror—When were your married to this woman ? Willis declined answering this question. There being no further evidence, the Foreman of the Jury, in very strong terms, expressed the indig. nation of the d nry at the treacherous conduct of Willis, and the duplicity with which be had acted towards the tinfortuture young woman. If there was no punishment iu this world for him there would be hereafter, unless, by due repentance, he atoned for his wickedness in being instrumental to the death of the hapless girl whom he had so grossly deceived. Willis, who is rather a genteel-looking young man, appeared to feel intensely the force of the foreman', remark, and said no man could feel more acutely at the deplorable event than he did at that moment. The Jury returned a verdict " That. deceased, Eliza Leach, destroyed herself in a state of insanity; and they at the same time think it right to express, thiit there is some blame attached to the conduct of Mr. Dale, of Holborn, for selling the arsenic, 513 also for the unheard-of crud conduct of the young msn, William Willis. Their opinion is so decidedly against him, that they have not words to express tht:lnselve,." The inveqigat;on excited the deepest interest. EFFECTS OF THE TIDE ON REMOVING OLD LONDON BRIDGE. In Class M. of the voluminous mass of ac counts and papers regarding all the city of Lon don's Corporation property (now just printed), appear the " Reports of Surveyors in relation to the rebuilding of London•bridge, and ►caking Approaches thereto :" among which there arc Reports from Mr. Nash, Mr. Telford, Mr. Rennie, &c. _ _ As much apprehension is entertained about the effects of the tide after the removal of the old bridge and its piers, upon property above as well as below bridge, it cannot fail to be in teresting, and may be very useful, to make some extracts from the Report of Alr. Telford on this exceedingly important subject, and about which there is so much anxiety. Thomas Telford, EN., in reporting " On the effects which will be produced on the river Thames by the rebuilding of London-bridge," observes that he took an accurate survey of the river, aided by two persons. experienced in making similar surveys; one surveyed the dis trict from London-bridge' to Putney, and the other from Putney to Teddington-lock ; and, in order to ensure at.curacy and proper connection and uniformity, Mr. Telford caused one of his own assistants, also accustomed to river surreys, to carry levels from London-bridge to Tedding ton-lock ; and Mr. Telford personally superin itended and occasionally surveyed the proceed ngs. He then reports "As to the state of the river at high water, it appears, from the Table of Observations of the Height of the Tides at the several bridges in 1820 and 1822, that the aver age fall through London-bridge at high water was from eight to thirteen inches ; that by those of 1823, since the removal of the waterworks, the fall, instead of eight inche3, is now only from three to four inches ; I think, therefore, it is fair to conclude, that, with a still leSs obstructed waterway, there will be little or no fall at high water, and that hereafter high tides in the western parts of the city will, even in calm weather, be at least on the same level as below bridge. I find that the level of the wharfs below bridge is from two feet and a half to four feet above the Trinity datum, and that those of two feet and a half arc occasionally flooded. The average level of the wharfs above bridge is from one and a half to two feet above the Trinity datum, and the ex- traordinary flood of IS2I, which rose at Ted dington seven feet, rose at Putney only two feet, and at Lambeth one foot eleven inches above the said datum. Therefore, it appears that there is more reason at present to dread the elevation arming from the tide below bridge than from the floods above, and that the floods of the Thames are not sufficient, in the present state of things, to fill the lagoon or pond above the narrows of the bridge to the height which some of the tides do below, and which, there is reason to believe, they also would above, were the channel unob structed. It may be supposed that the quantity of tide coming in at the Nore being given, the additional space provided for it by opening the upper part of the river will prevent it from rising so high as it now does near the bridge, and that, therefore, not only is there a probability of no greater elevation occurring there than at present, but that it in similar circumstances, be lower below bridge—consequently, that no dan• gar can arise above. When it is high water at the Nore we have . it within two hours high water at London-bridge, at the distance of forty miles, so that the high water passes up at the rate or 20 miles per hour, so much more rapidly than any known velocity of the river, that its effects are not to be ac the flowing of the curent merely, 4 co s t i tzl li f p or s b4 l4,,so the case in filling up the pond to Tedduigton through the arches of Lon don-bridge. • In this last case we have levelled along the banks of the river, and find, alter correcting the expressing Trinity datum, that the lowest fit qfae;: o; high Water iz at Putney ; that it rises about one foot at Teddington, and nearly as much 2t. L011(1011 -docks ; but this is liable to considerable variation. . There runs, at present, through London bridge, between the lowest chb and high water o ordinary fiprinp (or 4 feet tides) ab,ve brilge, 58,2. millions cubic feet (58 1 4342,710), and if London-bridge be removed, so that these be no material dam at low water, we have also to fill the pond now caused by that darn. This pant is fron l four to six fe (leen at 0:9. h• - icige at lou r ; water, and we iind tliat the level of low Waterabove) rid he meets at the bottom of. the Thames between Putney and Kew, viz. ten and a half milei above taking this as the head of the pond, the average breadth at 600 feet at low water, the mean depth to be filled at two feet, we hare an addition of 75 millions of cubic feet or 1-57th of the quantity of tide water between London and Gravesend, or only 1-284th of the whole quantity of tide water within the Nore ; therefore the whole water n hich must pass the new bridge, to raise the upper river to the level of high water below bridge, is 657 mil lions, or 1-3.2 d of the entire quantity of tide water within the Nore below bridge. It is a well-known fact that the tide in nar row channels with funnel-shaped mouths, or against coasts which oppose its regular course, rises considerably higher than at the places which are situated in retired bays, or under the wake of projecting points; thus the Atlantic tide run ning up the channel rises six or seven fathoms against the French coast, near St. Melo and Havre, while on the opposite English coast,.at Portland and Poole, we have only one fathom rise. In St. George's Channel the tides, at Mil ford and along the Welsh coast, rise four fa thoms ; on the opposite Irish coast, from Cam sore Point to Wicklow, hardly one fathom ; many similar instances might be given. The general set of the current up the Thames forms a branch, which at the Nore at noon, rises, as we have • said, 14 feet, but from thence the funnel-shape produces a gradual increase in the oscillation until we arrive near London ; that at Gravesend, at one, the rise is 16 feet ; at Woolwich, at three-quarters past one, it is 18 feet ; at Deptford, at two o'clock, we have 18i feet, but at Billingsgate, at a quarter past two o'clock, there is a rise of 17 feet only. The action of the tide is now affected by the bridges, the regular progress of this wave being checked, and the surface of the high water declines all the way to Putney, where it is high water at - a quar ter past three o'clock ; but from thence again there is a rise of one foot to Teddingtcn, where it is. high water at three-quarters past four ; Ileum observe, that from Billingsgate to Ted dington the wave passes at the rate of eight miles per hour only, while below Billingsgate the same wave of high water passes at the rate of 20 miles per hour, or, more particularly— From Niles.

It must also be observed that the fall or dif ference of height between the surfaces above and below bridge at high water, must not alone be taken as the proper measure of the obstruction, and used as a datum throughout a calculation, because the fall through the whole tide is much greater. In one very moderate strong tide, which I observed on the 26th of May last, when the WI at high water was only five inches, the fall through the preceding part of the tide had been 14 inches. The high water will therefore go up to the head of the tideway more speedily, and will tise higher than at present. OF THE RIVER AT LOW WATER. This water must also return with greater ve locity; and the removal of the bridge will not only permit the increased head to pass off at the ebb, but likewise that portion which is now re tained by the obstruction. Were the flood tide not to return, and the stream of the river to cease, the bed•would ex hibit a series of ponds, at levels gradually in creasing in elevation as we pass to the westward, of which the first would extend to Battersea bridge, having a shoal at Westminster-bridge, on which there will be little or no water, and nearly 2,000 yards in length. The second pond, from Battersea to Putney; would be 16 inches higher than the former. At Putney-bridge would be a rise of 17 inches ; above Putney to Mortlake is a shallow channel with small pools; in the deepest passage across the bars, there is now less than three feet of water, &c. _ _ The depth over the bar is no where less than 2 feet, or more than fuur feet ; but this depth is %lid' some difficulty sufficient at present for navigation to the locks at Teddington. Were the liver water to be run off above bridge this naviga ion must cease, unless a new channel be excavated through the shoals, inde pendent of the depression in the lower pond, which the new bridge will permit, a longer time will be given for the ebb to empty the upper reaches, as we may see by inquiring whether the obstruction of London-bridge occasions any re markable deviation from the progress of the ebb, as we have just found it to do in the case of the flood tide, whereby we form some judgment of the probable result of its removal with respect to the velocity of the ebb stream. Allowing, therefore, that the tide at the Nore occupies six hours sixteen minutes, or the regu lar half-tide, we find that low water proceeds— From Miles. Hour. Min.

Were the bridge removed, therefore, it is evident• that the velocity of the ebb above the bridge would mateiially increase, the time of low water be earlier than at present, the drainage of the upper ponds more complete, and the navigation, which is now practicable up :o Teddington, would cease too early near that place. EFFECT TO BE PRODUCED. From the foregoing statement of facts it i s shown that the removal of London-bridge will admit a greater body of .water to flow up the river to the westward, and with a greater velocity, which together will considerably increase the mo mentum ; and it is equally certain that the same cause will operate in the ebbing tide, and leave the bed of the river nearly dry for several hours in the latter part of the ebb, This wig in part be remedied by tho in Greased v e l oc ity an d • mu u rg a deepen the bed ; but Cis placecannot take the matter has more o small ;ravel s o s to where co nsistence, and to obtain the same depth as at present at low water wo'4ltl requhe excavation to LA very great eNtent, &c. ilt t4:s loweiing of the bed, if accomplished either by the tide scour, or artificial excavation, would s?ri9usly affect the foundations of some of the other bridges. The piers of Westnlin ster-bridge stand upon gravel, ',without Wi n g piles under th em , an d severa l are now no t inc'r than three feet under th e pr esen t sur f ace of t` le river bed, the matter of which I p ro ved t° be sand and gravel. . With regard to wharfs and houses built o n the banks of the river, the lowering of the O r : face of low water, and extending th e time of that depression, would afford an opportunity ofgre 3 ` e f drainage from the adjacent soil upon wili c ` t ! buildings are erected, and may have the eTect causing settlements; if no excavation take' place in the shores adjacent to the wharf , ' t° barges, &c., will. be longer prevented from sr proachin c ,c , to or departing from them ; if an cA: cavation does take place there will be some of the walls being undermined. These obse j r ' vations apply to the whole river as f ar a s :le' dington. - Besides these consequences from lowering d ie bed of the river, others will unavoidably 11)11 0 .; from the tide above London-bridge rising higt than it does at present ; many o f th e w h a rfs vi e the sides of the river arc not m ore th an f r oe's' and a half to two feet above Tri n ity d a t u m, 19ti are not unfrequently overflowed, p ar tly by 1 - °i floods, but chiefly by high tides, whi c h r i se ab"` e a foot higher below bridge than they do at P re sent above bridge, the evil will, therefore, be proportionably increased both in degree and fret quency. But, besides the common operatioe ° e land floods and tides in ca l m weather, tl, river above bridge will, when the dam- is re moved, be further exposed to the influx of beg'' vier waves driven from the Nord wi t h stool' from the northward, which have hitherto ,hee l ' checked by the almost solid mass of the tipPe" „ part of London-bridge. These observatie o apply to all the banks and low grounds on P e a , side of the river from Westminster to Teddivo ton, and which are very extensive. Ins!ances of such influx and rising of the tins have been already menti one d, an d another j e come to my knowledge while engaged in * I ., present survey ; at the C as h en r i ver in Is'Sril6 which hills into the s ea n ear th e mout h of ti t° Shannon, a bar has been lately cut aere ss .,, r make a more direct navigation, the upper r ° `, t has thereby been lowered two or three fe et low water, and at high water raised so as 1 , 0 overflow the mar s h es more th an b e f ore , an d 1 01 , direct stream is now cutting a channel thOr i the sandy shoals abov e th e b ar .

OXFORD CIRCUIT—HEREFORD, Auc. 19 FRANCIS V. STAUNTON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by a timber-merchant, residing at Swansea, to recover from the defendants, the proprietors of the Swansea and Bristol Steam Packet, the value of a trunk full of clothes, and 33!. 14s. sent in the trunk. From the evidence of the plaintiff's son, a boy 12 years of age, it appeared that he was on his return to school, at Bristol, in the defendant's steamer. The trunk in question contained his clothes, and the money was to pay for his schooling. When he reached Bristol it could not be found. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 26/.175. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—DURHAM, Auc. 17. The commission for this county was opened on Saturday, arid the business commenced to-day. The business' is exceedingly light. Only eight causes were entered for trial, and Mr. - Justice LITTLEDALE disposed of six of them by an early hour this after noon. They were for the most part undefended. Tire folluwing was the only one which excited the silthtest interest.:— LAX V. BARNES. Mr.J. !WILLIAMS stated the case. The plaintiff was a relpectable farmer, living at Swainthrop, and the deforadant was a wine-merchant residing at the same plitee. The present action was brought to re cover. a: .compensation in damages for a violent and unprovoked assault which the defendant had com mitted upon the plaintiff. The plaintiff was the churchwarden of Swainthrop. Verdict for plaintiff—Damages 101. TUESDAY. Adam Robinson, aged 15, and John Robinson, aged 15, were indicted for setting fire to a haystack, the property of Thomas Peacock, of St. Andrew Auckland. Mr. Peacock examined—l live at Bishop Auck land, and on the 30th of May last, had a hay-stack which stood in a field in that place. On that day I went to Durham, and returned about ten o'clock in the evening. I then ascertained that the hay-stack had been set on fire, and about three tons wasted. Mary Wilson examined—l am servant to Mr. Wilkinson, of Bishop Auckland. On the 30th of May last, about six o'clock in the evening, I went to milk my master's cows. •:The cows were within a field of Mr. Peacock's hay-tack. On my return ing from milking, I met three boys; one of them was carrying some fire. On seeing, me he put the fire beneath his coat. I never saw the fire, but I saw the smoke before I got to them. They passed quite close to me. By Mr. Justice BAYLEY—The boys did riot hide their faces in passing. I had never seen them be fore. I heard of the hay-stack being on fire about twenty minutes after I saw them. John Mundill-examined—l occupy the two fields called the Tenters, which are next to Mr. Peacock's. I was in one of these fields on the evening of the 30th of May. I know the prisoners. I saw them near the fields. They had some fire with them. It was wrapped up in tow, or something of the kind.— I only saw smoke. They were going ►n the direc tion of the town.. In about ten minutes afterwards tliere was an alarm of the stack being on fire. Dixon-.-! saw the prisoners at thesslik Tenter-fieble,.op the evening of the 30tirMay laSt. A third boj r -tiarned Joseph Robinson, was with them. I observed that Joseph had some fire in his hand, which as soon as he perceived me he put under his coat. The Jury, after a - short consultation, acquitted both the prisoners. - Mr. Justice BAYLEY pointed out to the prisoners the narrow escape which they had had, and admo nished them to be careful in future. They were then ordered to be discharged. James Watchman was indicted for stealing agame cock, the property of Anthony Browne, on the 3d of June last. The prisoner was found Guilty, and ordered to be transported for 1 4 years. The Assizes for the county of Durham terminated at an early hour to-day. BINGLEY'S USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

WESTERN CIRCUIT—BODMIN, Aus. 18 The Cornwall Assizes commenced here to-day, before Mr. Justice BURROLGII on the civil, and Lord Chief Justice TINDAL on the criminal side. The cause list contains but 13 cases, and there are only 15 prisoners in the calendar for trial; the offences are not of an aggravated nature. BRAY V. TEAGUE, MITCHELL, AND BARNETT. This was an uction to recover compensation in damages from the defendants for assaulting the plain tiff, and imprisoning him for three hours. The Learned JUDGE, after hearing part of the evi dence, recommended the parties to submit to an arbitration. The suggestion of the Court being agreed to, the cause was referred. An action of libel, " Stoggett v. Gilbert," was opened, but the defendant offering a sufficient apo logy, and consenting to a verdict of 401. damages, the case was not proceeded with. The particular nature of the libel or slander did not transpire. Lords Valletort and Eliot, Sir R. Vyvyan, and Mr. Pendarvis (the two county members) were sworn upon the Grand Jury. Polkinghorne (the wrestler) is foreman of the Petty Jury on the Crown side. No case of any interest occurred in this Court during the day. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—COVENTRY, Ace. 19. Elizabeth Carter, aged 51, was indicted for the murder of a little girl named Elizabeth Wiles. The prisoner, it appeared, was a woman who took in washing, and resided in an obscure street in the parish of St. Michael, in this city. Elizabeth Wiles' mother was her neighbour, and the child was in the habit of occasionally going to her house. On the morning of the 17th of June last, the prisoner called upon Mrs. Wiles, and requested that the little girl might go and mind her house, whilst she (prisoner) went to spread some clothes on the lines. The child accordingly Went to her, and in the course of about an hour afterwards the prisoner entered the house of a man named Coleman, who lived near her, and kept exclaiming, " I'm no more, I'm no more, I'm no more." She offered Coleman the key of the door, and told him to go into her house and up stairs, and he would there see somebody. Her manner was hurried and agitated. Coleman at first refused the key, but at length took it, and handEd it to his wife, who carried it to Mrs. Wiles. lh.?. latter immediately went to the door, and called her daughter; but receiving no answer, she went u p stairs, when the first object she beheld was the lifeless body of her child, with the head nearly severed from the trunk. The unfor tunate mother rushed down stairs in a distracted state, and the alarm being given, a constable came and examined the premises. In a closet, the door of which was only fastened by a wooden button, he found a razor, the blade of which was still wet with blood. He also found a checkered apron, which the prisoner had worn that morning, and it too was stained with blood, as was the button of the closet door. As soon as Mrs. Coleman went back to her husband, she told him, in the prisoner's hearing,that she had cut tho. fihild's throat; to•which the pri soner replied that she had, but she could not help it. Surgeons were called in, who expressed their opinion that the child's throat had been cut with a razor. After examining the corpse, their attention was next directed to the condition of the pri soner. They found her in a state of high fever, her pulse being full and quick, her eyes restlessly directed to every object around her, her lan guage incoherent, and, in short s 'evincing all the symptoms of inflammatory action of the brain. When asked to account for the dreadful act she had perpetrated, she said she could tell nothing about it. She complained of pain about her temples, which is of itself a symptom of diseased brain; and all the indications of organic derangement satisfied the medical gentlemen that she was sincere in this respect. They said that the state of her pulse could not have been produced by fear of the consequences of her crime, because the emotion of fear renders the pulse quick and weak, whereas her pulse was quick and full, which is the effect produced by in flammatory organic action. They were therefore convinced that she was decidedly insane, and she was accordingly treated, when sent to the hospital, as an insane person. It further appeared, that about ten years ago, she was sent home from the regiment to which her husband belonged, in consequence of the deranged state of her mind. Under these cir cumstances the Jury acquitted the prisoner pn the ground of insanity. The LORD CHIEF BARON directed that she should remain in prison to abide his Majesty's pleasure. SECOND EDITION.

The Hon. Justice .)ebb arrived in this city from Monaghan at ten o'clock, and took his seat in the Crown Court at twelve. Judge Jebb, after some preliminary remarks on the state of the Calendar, said—l have been happy to observe a very gradual diminution of crime, both in enormity and extent. This chew ed an improved state of society, a great part of Which is attributable to the industrious habits promoted so much by the linen and cotton ma nufacturers. Such is the general character of your county; and from which I am sorry there should exist the slightest drawback. I allude, gentlemen to that unhappy spirit of party which has been the cause of so much tumult and out. rage in this :md dither counti,?s of Ireland. I hope that in making ti few observations on this subject, and with respect to the jurisdiction Of the Magistrates, it will not be considered am exceeding the limits of my proper duty. iVly anxiety for the well-being and peace of this county (and I am sure you are all equally aux", ions in this respect) induces me to make these observations, at the same time that I feel I ani treading on dangerous and slippery ground. I would again express'a hope that whatever obsee vation may now proceed from the Bench, it will be attributed entirely to an anxious desire to make all acquainted with the law as it really is, and an earliest wish at the same time to pro mote the interest and well-being of this county. Nor, be assured, do I speak from any distrust that I have of you, gentlemen, either as Magic= trates or Grand Jurors ; my object is, that what I am now going to say may be conveyed by you to the people, ter whom it is more particularly intended, and I wish it to be so deeply impressed upon their feelings, as that the Magistrates may hereafter have less difficulty in exacting due obedience to the law. You are all aware tha t the recent mischiefs originated with certain pro cessions customary in this country—procession s which it is my duty to declare, are not in them selves unlawful. They were in commemoration of an event dear to every real friend of religious and civil liberty, and of the last importance to those united countries ; to put 'a violent stop to them would, therefore be acting in direct viola tion of our free Constitution, for, abstractedly taken, they are, I repeat, lawful. History, we may all remember, informs us that, at former periods, all classes—all, from the highest to the . lowest in the land—cordially joined together in . publicly commemorating the events to which I allude—and clearly, there was nothing unlawfui • in this. But circumstances have since then changed, and the present aspect of the times ren ders it necessary that prudence should be con sulted. Such public commemorations, at one time unobjectionable and even praiseworthy, now excite feelings of a most unpleasant and exas perating nature in others ; and it was said that such celebrations alone constituted the ground of offence. Until very lately,it had notbeen,con sidered unlawful in people to manifest their opinions in this way ; now, hoWever, it was con sidered by others, who seemed to take it as an in sult to their feelings—irritation is ,thereby pro #4itceil—angrypmords-generally ensue—recourse - liatrfo'blo;iitheriOAd I a confused scene ofriot afictiiiitrage, annfiet ffEilt too - often' ----- eventuates in a profuse shedding of human blood. My opinion, then, decidedly is, that the mere act of publicly commemorating a legal event is not in itself unlawful ; but if such com memoration have a tendency to riot, or if a breach of the peace be apprehended to re sult from it, then indeed it becomes unlaw ful. I will add further, that if persons comme morating even a legal event are attacked by an opposite party, and an engagement ensues, they are equally liable to be indicted for riot, though not equally guilty. So much for these comme morations. Now, the other party—you, Gentlemen, will understand whom I mean by the other party — have meetings and assemblages for the purpose of preventing and resisting the commemorations* I have mentioned. Such meetings, the object' of which is to disturb tie public peace, are un-, questionably in themselves unlawful; none but the constituted authorities have a right to inter fere in the dispersion of any such assemblage,- and this they should do wherever they would find them ; at the same time the law should be equally administered on both sides. It is the duty of Magistrates, whenever an assemblage in procession is contemplated, and where they have reason to apprehend a collision of parties, to use every entreaty to induce them to desist, and also. to warn them against the consequences of so as sembling ; and if, notwithstanding this cau tion, they do assemble, the Magistrates will then act in such a manner as may best con-. tribute to preserve the peace, and to punish every infraction of it. If the authority of the Magi strate be disregarded by the assemblage, and, there be a reasonable ground for expecting riot and outrage, the Riot Act should be read and: the people ordered to disperse. (The people: should know that those who 010 not obey the statute law, incur a charge of felony.) The Riot Act being read, it will then be a matter of dis cretion with the Magistrates either to resort to force for dispersing the assembly, or to acquaint themselves merely with the names of the rioters. • My advice to the Magistrates would be, to be very cautious before they resort to force ; and the much better way, in my opinion, would be for them to satisfy themselves with taking down the names. It should be at the very last extre mity, they would resort to force. As to the op posite meetings, they are in themselves clearly unlawful. The Magistrates should tell those persons they are not to take the law into their . own hands : and if they do not at once disperse, - force should be resorted to. From the expe rience and knowledge I have of this county, am of opinion that the sentiments I have ex pressed cannot be too often inculcated upon the people ; and, in this respect, I count much, Gentlemen, upon the influence which you indi vidually possess as Magistrates and landlords; and I doubt not that you will always act upon that sound and equitable principle on which the law is founded, and by which alone you may expect a ready obedience to the laws of the land. His Lordship then called the attention of the Jury to the state of the gaols, roads, &c. We understand that the Court Martial on Captain DICKENSON, which commences this day, is ex pected to produce some di%eosures equally extraordinary awl lamentable. Tile facts to which we allude are of so delicate a nature, that we cannot, until the evidence has been given, describe them•more minutely; but we venture to say they are without precedent among naval .

Maugin, Prefect of Police of the city of Paris, made to-day the following speech to the officers of his department:— " Gentlemen—The functions which the King has deigned to confide to me, and the difficulties inhe rent in them, are increased by their being new to me. " I take courage, however,because you will assist me frankly, and with zeal, in fulfilling them. " lam especially encouraged by the conviction that my duties can never be found in contradiction to my principles. It is from the bosom of the Ma gistracy—from that of the first tribunal of the kingdom—that I come. To ensure the execution of the laws,—to cause the rules to be respected, has been the study of my whole life. Thus it has been believed that there would be found—and, in fact, there will be found in me—a Magistrate inimical to ' what is arbitrary. It is not enough that the police protects public order, it must also protect it by the means which the laws and the regulations have laid down : it must not only watch over the security of the citizens—it must also make them sensible of it. " I know what honourable examples my prede cessor leaves me : [ adopt them. I desire to con tinue them : thus I shall maintain the order which he has established in the bureaux. You had his confidence—l give you mine. You all retain your employments—the situation of no one will be changed. I should be unhappy, geHtlemen, if my coming into office should affect the happiness of any one of you. " What I say to you is not mere matter of course; it is my thoughts—my intentions I declare to you. I shall follow frankly the line of my duties; I shall follow it with firmness. " I shall endeavour to secure myself from all error : if I mistake, warnings will not be wanting : I shall profit by them, from whatever quarter they may come. A useful warning loses nothing of its importance by being given us by an enemy : an abuse ought not to be remedied with the less rea diness because it has been pointed out in an offen sive manner. " Strong in my intentions, assured of your assi't ance, I devote the whole of my existence to the performance of my duties."

GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, AUG. 9.—The mail from Constantinople of the 25th of July, which has just arrived here, brings word that the most unfavourable reports were in circulation there respecting the Turkish army in Asia. A great battle near EI zerourn was sp9ken of, in which four Pachas and 9,000 Turks were made prisoners, and many cannon, with ammunition, &c., are said to have fallen into the hands of the Rus sians. As the date of this battle is not stated, it is not certain whether these are the same affairs men tioned in the Russian Bulletin from Tiflis, received here yesterday, or whether the report spread in in Constantinople, according to which Erzerouna itself is said to have fallen into the hands of the Russians, refers to later events. Trehizond was bombarded on the seaside by a division of the Rus sian fleet. The fortress of Vau, situated, on the lake of the same name, is reported in Constantinople to have been delivered up to the Russians, through the treachery of the schismatic Armenians. It seems that at the time when the mail came away, th e passage o f t h e R uss i ans over t h e Kamt chik, and their appearance on the Balkan, were not known at Constantinople, or that the Porte had kept the news secret. The military preparations on the part of the Turks were going on with increased activity, and the Sultan h a d g i ven orders to fortify, without loss of time, Adrianople, Kirk, Kilissa, S;;- phia, and Nissa. The Porte h a d received intelli gence that the Pacha of Scutari h a d arr i ved in the v i c i n ity of Withliti with 20,000 Alb an i ans. A Russian fieet of 16 sail had been cruising for some rt v days off the mouth of the 13o3phorus. On the 20th July, the Danish Minister, Baron Von Hubieh, had his audience of introduction of the Sultan, in the meadow of Bujukdere. To-day M. Royer, the Prussian Ambassador, had his audience of the Cai. mama, M. Rover's audience of the Sultan is fixed for the day after to-Morrow, Tittufft, Atti. 4.—Accounts from Corfu say, that the Greek troops have mutinied against Count Augustin Capo d'lstria, for no other reason than that he wanted to induce them to return to the Morea, and give up the conquests they had made in Livadia, Thessaly, and Albania. The Count was, therefore, obliged to leave them in their position, end order and discipline are now restored in the Greek army. The President, therefore, insists on the greater extent of the Greek frontiers. lIERMANSTADT, AUG. 6.---=Accounts deserving of credit say that the contagion in the principalities continues to carry off more victims and to spread strider, so that to the three sanitary cordons already established a fourth is to be added.—Allgemcine Zeilung, Aug. 14. VIENNA, AUG. 8.--Metalliques, 998; Bank Stock, 1,1351. FROM THE ELBE, AUG. 7.—lt is said that the German Diet has decided between the • King of Hanover and the Duke of Brunswick, and that the decision is not favourable to Brunswick ; which, it is said, is enjoined to give full satisfaction to the other party. The complaint made by the Estates of Brunswick against the Duke will probably not be decided upon during the present Session of the Diet, as the vacation is drawing near. BERLIN, AUG. 7. The accounts from Constan tinople are still unfavourable to peace, but it is thought the war cannot long continue, because the finances of the Porte are exhausted. The three chiefsources of revenue were the toll on the Danube, the duties paid on the Bosphorus, and the Darda• nelles, and the poll-tax of the Greeks. The last has not been paid these eight years; the others have ceased for these two years, and, it is believed, that the unfavourable turn which the affairs of Turkey have now decidedly taken, will affect the remittances of money from abroad.—Nuremburg Correspondent, Aug. 12.

The Prussian State Gazette contains the im portant news that the Russians have passed the Balkan, took possession of Aidos, Bourgas, and are in full march to Adrianople. What will the advocates of Turkish discipline— impregnable barriers—and numerous levies, say to this ? If the Russians do not this campaign advance to take Constantinople, it will not be the fault of the Turks:— NEWS FROM TIIE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, AUG. 14.—The most recent news from the Russian army is from Aidos, where Count Diebitsch had his head-quarters on the 14th (26th) July. After the victorious troops order his command had totally defeated the Turkish troops that opposed them, they made them selves mast,rs, not only of ;tidos, but also, at the same time, of the imp , rtant places of Messembria, Ahioli (or Achiolion), and Botirgas, and are now advancing rapidly forwards in the fertile and populous plains beyond the Bal kan. The Turks, who were taken by surprise, and in stantly defeated, had no time to depopulate the province, and the peaceable inhabitants, most of whom are Chris tians, quietly pursue their usual labours, under the protec tion of an enlightened and judicious Commander. The details of the victorious march of the Russian army are expected every moment, and shall be immediately com municated to our readers. ... ST. — PETERSEURG/1, Ann. s.—According to the ac counts from our army beyond the Danube, which come down to the 26th ult., it appears that the Grand Vizier had not yet ventured to attack the corps of General Kras sowsky, which is posted at Jenibazar, fur if he had, we must have had the news yesterday, as the communications are now so speedy. But by the 26th General Krassowsky might he joined by the reserve to the number of 35,000 men, sent by General Witt towards Bulgaria, and which Lad already arrived at Babadagh, only five days' march from Shumla. Thus the army of General Diehitsch would be more than sufficiently covered both on the flank and rear. On the 25th of last month the Emperor hid a grand review of the troops in the camp at Krasnoje-Selo. Brussels Papers of the 19th inst. have been received, but their contents are not important : BRUSSELS, AUG. IG.—Her Majesty the Empress of Brazil slept list night at Louvain : she left it this morn ing, and will pass through Brussels, only stopping to change horses, and will proceed without delay to Ostend, by way of Ghent and Bruges, at which city she will be received by M. de Liedekerke in his Majesty's name. Arc. 17.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg has arrived here ft om London. The young Empress of Brazil travels with her brother the Prince of Leuchtcnburg, and their suite consists of thirty-six persons. A Commission is actually assembled at Brussels to exa mine the tariff of Customs, and several new regulations or modifications whi c h are said to be in contemplation, M. de Smet Beusaert, and probably, the distinguiehtd merchants of Ghent, 13russels, and Antwerp, are said to Le members of this Commission. The Austrian Observer of 9th August, contains some news from the Universal Gazette of Greece, of 20th June. This Gazette publishes the mines of the pro vinces which chose the President for their Deputy to the National Assembly. The manner in which this choke was made by so many provinces proves, says the Gazette, how highly qualified the President is for his high office. The extraordinary improvement that has taken place in the country, the change from disobedience, disorder, and danger, to obedit nee, order, and security, the encouragement given to agriculture, the amelioration of the finances, and the administration of justice, are all fruits of his exertions, and have naturally produced the affection and gratitude of the people. _ . The province of Corinth, in its instructions to its De puties, having first passed a warm eulogium .n the Pre sident, enjoins them :-1. To confine themselves to mat ters the obj , ct of which is the good of the country, in the spirit of the President. 2. Not to meddle in factions, and thus oppose the sen timents and silutary intentions of the President. 3. If they depart in the smallest degree from their in structions, their full powers as Deputies to the Fourth National Assembly are declared null and void. We received this afternoon by express the Paris Papers, from which we make the follov;ing extracts. The march of the Russians on Bourgas had caused universal consternation at Constantinople : (From the Moniteur.) No official article. TouLoN, Aug. 12.—The Estafette, schooner, arrived here this m ruing from Navarin. It is said to have brought very important despatches, which were immedi ately sent express to Paris. (From the Messager des Chambr s.) Pairs, Aua. 18.—The Duke de Chartres arrived here yesterday morning from London. Accounts from Naples of the 2,1 of August give reason to hope that the unfortunate Galotti will be sent back to sica, but under sentence of perpetual banishment. (The Paris Papers have no foreign news.) (Feom the Allgemeine Zeitung, received with the Express.) VIENNA, AuG. 9.—The Mail of the 26th July from Constantinople has arrived. The letters are not delivered, but from some private communications we learn that the Reis Effendi had, on the 24th of July, given a final answer to the English Ambassador respecting the Protocol of the 26th of March. The answer is not given at length in the letters, but it is supposed that the Porte does not ac. cept the mediation of the Powers in the affairs of Greece. The march of the Russian troops towards Bourgas had caused general consternation. The levy en masse was proceeding with activity, and the city was tranquil. It was said that the Sultan would march in person against the enemy, but no orders to that effect had yet been issued. VIENNA, AUG. 19.—Metalliques, 991 ; Bank Shares, 1,135.

We perceive in the Papers of this morning a report, evidently furnished by one hand, of " a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Margate and Ramsgate, and others, held at the Town-hall of Margate, on Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of considering what measures should be adopted to obtain a more efficient com munication between the metropolis and the places just mentioned." The principal speaker at this meeting was Dr. JAnvis, Chief Pier Commissioner, who ob served, that nothing but a sense of public duty had induced him to attend. He then called the attention of the Meeting to the grievances which it was their object to remedy. These grievances were—the existing coalition between the Mar gate steam-boat proprietors, which " tended to render the passage between London and Mar gate any thing but what it ought to be, the pas sengers, owing to the limited number of vessels starting, being packed more like negroes in a slave ship th.an any thing else." The consequence was, that by this want of accommodation the interests of the town of Margate were injured, especially as the steam-boat proprietors landed their pas sengers when they thought fit at Ramsgate, to get an additional fare out of their pockets. He then deprecated the combination, and said that a sufficient sum ought to be raised for establishing Margate steam-boats, which, besides doing the town incalculable good, would annihi late the combination. " Another evil was the time occupied in the voyage, so that passengers were obliged to take three meals on board," &c. In addition to these crying evils, Mr. THOMAS COBB, the Deputy of Margate, who acted as Chairman, said that in consequence of the coa lition, the number of visitors to Margate had greatly fallen of, as compared with former years. A Committee was then appointed, and a sub scription of 2,5001. entered into towards the formation of a fund for establishing steam-boats to run between London and Margate. We have been thus particular in stating the whole substance of what took place at the meeting so far as the report goes, but we have looked in vain for another item of griev ance which has been entirely overlooked, and which item is more ruinous to the interests of the good town of Margate than all the others put together—we mean the extortionate Pier dues I ! Why has all mention of these been omitted when the baneful consequences of the minor evils were so feelingly pourtrayed ? Could not Dr. JARVIS, to whom we understand Mar gate is deeply indebted, have lugged in his dar ling hobby of the Pier-dues as a make-weight on the other side of the question ? But so it is : men who have a private interest at stake only see with a prejudiced eye. The coalition of the steam-boat companies is, we beli eve , an ev il , as all coalitions or monopolies are, their object being to fleece the many for the benefit o f th e r fe e w me ; d b ie u d t ? theii by w vil a h rival 1 stnpo this se prop ose d t o b e e o -partner with the Pier Monopoly ! But let us look a little closer into the assertions of Dr. JARVIS, for they are not facts. He says, that for want of accommodation in the limited number of steam-boats, the passengers are packed like negroes—this is not the case—and if it were, the packing is voluntary, and yet there is a falling off in the number of visitors. Why ?—because two shillings a head are charged for man, woman, or infant landing on the pier—and so strictly is this tax levied that every passenger must pay whether he can land or not. But Dr. JARVIS says that " the steam-boat proprietors landed their passengers when they thought fit at Ramsgate to get an additional fare out of their pockets."—Monstrous want of candour ! The passengers are never landed at Ramsgate, but when it is found im possible to land them at Margate, from the want of water and the stupid construction of the Pier, which is absolutely dry at low water—and the boats cannot frequently reach the Jetty by several hundred feet, from the same cause—nay, in stormy weather it is impossible. But mark the sequel ;—notwithstanding that the boats can not land at either the Pier or Jetty, and are forced to proceed to Ramsgate, the Pier dues are the same ! Was ever imposition more monstrous than this ! Two shillings a passenger charged because the Pier cannot afford accommo dation. Oh ye Pier Commissioners ! think of this, mid spare yourselves the pockets of the visiters, when ye impute interested motives to others. But we have not room for any further remark. The length of the voyage, and the three meals on board, speak for themselves. We received the following from an intelligent Correspondent at Paris, but we have no room for any comment : " Since I had the pleasure of seeing you I have been chiefly in France, and having had the advantage of being introduced into good French society, I have made it my business to compare what I have heard and seen in well-informed circles with the views which have been so gene rally adopted on European politics, and on the domestic affairs of France, by the London Daily Press. For some time before the late change in the French Ministry, I was fearfully impressed with the difference which existed between Frenchmen and Englishmen on the subject of liberality, as it is termed in modern politics, but since the accession of M. Polignac to power, that differ ence has been marked in a manner much more striking than I could have anticipated. In ge neral I am perfectly disposed to coincide in the sentiments so ably advocated by The Sun, but the tone which you have assumed, in common with almost every other respectable print, on the subject of the new French Ministry, although, no doubt, supported by a great deal of sound reasoning, is so utterly inconsistent with the uni versal voice of Paris and of France, that I have thought it right to draw your attention to the subject. It is unquestionably a conviction on the part of Admiral de Rigny, that the Ministry of M. Polignac is not to stand, which has induced him to abstain from any connection with the new Administration. De Rigny is extremely popular in France ; and it was no doubt with a view to throw the weight of the Admiral's popularity into the scale of the:new Administration, that the Prince was desirous of including the hero of Navarin, as he is called, in the new Cabinet.. The Admiral, however, is equally aware of the value of the place he has reached in popular fa vour, and has taken his election to keep that place rather than risk the loss of it, by connecting himself with an Administration so decidedly and universally unpopular as that of M. Polignac. " I have said that liberal sentiments are al most universal in France. lam at least justi fied in saying that they are more general than in England. At the same time I am bound to add, that they have not acquired that settled and re gulated character, and that appearance of stability, which the older institutions of England have given to the views of our own countrymen, on such subjects. The Times appears to me to have treated their Paris correspondent with undue severity. The writer has, perhaps, identified himself too strongly with French sentiments ; but, on the other hand, these sentiments being those of a whole nation, have surely been treated much too lightly by the conductors of the Lon don Press. It is not long since I have heard it said, on very tolerable authority, that the Royal Family of France arc never without the fear of a second revolution, although it may be said that such an idea is scarcely compatible with the selection which the King has made of so un popular a Minister. However that may be, it is clear that a crisis of some kind is approach ing, and I trust that you will pardon me for the su ggestion, that some allowance should be made for the strong excitement which at present exists among all ranks of men in this country." Letters from Saragossa state, that the greatest alarm existed there in consequence of the nume rous arrests ordered by the Count D'ESPAGNE . Many distinguished persons at Barbastro and Miquenenza had been arrested, and sent to B arc elona fur tri)l, or in other words for con demnation to death, by a military tribunal. private adviees from Madrid confirm the re ceipt of intelligence of the expedition having sailed from Havannah against Campeachy. This confirmation had reached Madrid by way of Ferrol.

The Consol Market is rather brisk this morning, Consols, which left off yesterday at 883 : for the Account, opened at 881 and 88i 89 for next Account. This improvement in the market is attri buted to the French 3 per Cents, leaving off on Wednesday at 79 80. We have received accounts from Wallachia of the 24th July, stating that it was confidently reported there that Count Pahlen, ancient Governor of the Principalitie', was to embark with Count (=Mow, at Odessa, to meet the Grand Vizier, and to open a new negociation. We announced a few days ago that the Russian Admiral in the Mediterranean had reported that two of his ships of the line were unfit for duty, and that his Government would replace them by some fresh ships. We have now to announce that part of the force intended for this purpose is already off our coast. One of the Russian frigates was in sight yesterday afternoon,.-passing at the bark of the Goodwin Sands. We also understand that the Gloucester is in no hurry to sail, as she is not to leave the Nore until the Court-martial on Capt. Dickenson is ocer, which will require three weeks. Letters from Ancona, of the 26th of July, an nounce that the Pacha of Egypt is preparing an expedition, which is supposed to he against Candia, and the Russian squadron is concentrating at Poros to observe the movements of the Pacha. Accounts from Barbadoe , :, of the 31st of May, state that the Governor has not granted the petition of the people to have the ports opened.

The Consol Market continues very firm, and has improved since the early part of the morning, when they were at 88a- for the Account, and at present they are 881, and 89 to 4 for next Account this continual improvement of the Market is attributed to two circumstances—first, that it is the general belief that the great Hebrew operators are in pos session of news from the East ;—second, that it is a great Bear Account, and they will be able to deliver the stock on settling day, which is near at hand. The Ganges man-of-war is arrived from Rio Janeiro ; she is of an old date, but brings 18,0001. sterling for the Brazil Mining Company.

BURY, THURSDAY NIGHT.-The trial and ultimate fate of the above youthful culprit has for some time been a theme of conversation in this town, and as no malice prepense was proved, it was confidently hoped, and by many expected, that the sentence passed upon him would be commuted. This morning the mail conveyed a respite during Royal pleasure, which is deemed tantamount to an order for banishment, or confinement as a lunatic. The Princess AUGUSTA came to town yester day morning, from her residence at Froginore. Her Royai Highness paid a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cum- BEHLAND, at their residence . in the Kin g ' s P a l ace , S t . James's, and par took of a dejeune with their Royal High „„„s.

The annual contest for a new wherry and other prizes, given by the Ladies and Gentlemen inhabitants of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary•le-Strand, to be rowed for by free watermen belonging to Strand-lane and Arundel stairs, took place yesterday. The match was one of minor interest, and was not well attended. The distance to start from buoys moored off Strand-lane, row through the centre arch of Blackfriars•bridge, return up the north shore through Waterloo bridge, round a boat moored off the Fox-under-the-Hill, down again to Blackfriars, and up to the prize wherry at Strand-lane. At half-past three the following men were placed for the first heat : Henry Joyce Arundel-stairs ... Scarlet James Parish T. Audley } Light Blue Richard Godfrey Strand-lane . _ _ John Joyce Arundel.stAits ... 1 Pink. James Teesdell Pink twit the lead for a few minutes, but after about two hundred yards Scarlet took the lead, and won the heat; Pink being second, and Light Blue third. At half past four the following men were placed for the second heat : John Gadd Arundel-stairs ... 1 Green Charles Baker Thomas Porfar Arundel-stairs ...1 yellow James Daly Strand-lane ......

At a quarter past seven, the men (the two first pairs of each heat) were placed for the grand heat. At starting Scarlet took the lead, and maintained it all the way ; the boats coming in thus—Scarlet first, Pink second, Yellow third, and Green iast. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left the resi dence of her sister the Princess AUGUSTA, at Frogmore, on Tuesday, for her seat in Bagshot-park. Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassa dor, had a long conference yesterday afternoon witli the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign-office; after the inter view the Noble Earl, accompanied by the Marquis of ABER, coati, left town in his carriage and four for Tunbridge-wells On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, a most determined attempt at self-destruction was made by Mr. HENRY CALDWELL, one of the clerks in the British Gas Company's works. About the hour above stated, Mr. CALDWELL went into the shop of Mr. HUGHES, the clsernist and druggist, in the Kent-road, near the Green Man, and asked for two-pennyworth of hellebore powder, which he said he wanted to make into an ointment. Mr. HuGuas felt no hesitation in serving him, and wrapped up the powder in paper, on which he, as usual, wrote " poison," back and front. The unfortunate man then left the shop apparently in good spirits, and nothing about him indicating an aberration of intellect. He proceeded immediately to the house of Mr. ALLFORD, the Dun Cow public-house, and going into the bar, he requested Mrs. ALLFORD to let him have a tumbler of cold water; the water was given him, when he introduced the powder and swallowed it off in the presence of Mrs. ALLFORD, and threw the paper in which it was enveloped at her. She felt alarmed, and said, " My good Sir, what have you been taking ?" The unfortunate man replied, " I have taken that, Madam, that will soon send me to beavers." Mrs. ALLroan gave an immediate alarm, and her husband and several other persons came in, and found the unhappy man labouring under the direful effects of the poison, which is of the worst description. They without delay removed him to Guy's Hospital, where the stomach-pump was re sorted to by Mr. HILLS and Mr. PERRINS, and the sto mach emptied of its contents, which was strongly im pregnated with hellebore, The unfortunate man was placed in bed, and after he somewhat recovered his senses, he related the above facts, but could not assign any reason for committing the dreadful act. Mr. CALDWELL is only 2t years of age, and his family are highly respectable at Kildare, of which place he is a native. He now lies at Guy's Hospital in a very precarious state. ANOTHER 13 URKE.-TIIE LIFE OF STEWART THE MURDERER. (From the Scotsman.) This remorseless homicide, who will this day suffer an ignominotis and painful death, was born in the parish of Sionneykirk, in 1803. Tried, con victed, and conierniird, lie must of course be held up to lasting infamy by the name of Stewart—but Bradfoot was his real name. His parents belonged to Ireland, and being possessed of a little money when they came to this country, they rented a small farm in the district of Galloway. Forced from the farm by misfortune or rather mismanagement, and divested of their little all, they sent their son, Stew art, to serve witl► Mr. M`;l7 n, a pious, benevo lent, and good hearted man, then residing in the parish of Glen!lice. While in his service, he was industrious, sober, frugal, and indeed every way circumspect in his conduct, and in consequence enjoyed the complete confidence and esteem of his employer. When about twenty years of age, he married a respectable young woman, whose parents were more wealthy than his own, and being influenced with some idle whim or pr►judice, they disapproved highly of the marriage. Being of an independent, haughty, and rather im perious disposition, he scorned to brook their hatred, jeers, and misrepresentations; and while under the influence of passion, he enlisted in the marines. He was sent off to Chatham in 1825, and the health of his wife being affected, by the neglect of her parents and the severity of her fortune, she died in that town in a few months after her arrival. He solicited, and was indulged with a pass to Scotland, to convey his only child home to his wife's parents, but he never returned. Tortured and rendered restless and reck less by the constant apprehension of being seized as a deserter, estrang►ed from his habits of application and sobriety, sinking in his own estimation, and avoided by his former companions arid friends, he associated with idle and unprincipled profligates, and progressively fell into a life of irregularity and crime. For nearly four years he has now been prowling up and down the country, like the arch-enemy of man kind, seeking whom he might devour. In this rapid sketch we shall only notice a few of the principal incidents of his life—for we should be loath to tire and disgust our readers with minute details of all his revolting delinquencies. He was either too cautious, or too great a re creant, to attempt any desperate or perilous expe dient to obtain money or property. Even when reduced to the greatest distress, he never once dreamed of housebreaking or highway robbery. Sheep-stealing was his boldest adventure, and though lie succeeded in breaking Stranraer jail, his narrow escape made an impression upon him for the subsequent part of his profligate life. He enlisted frequently, and decamped with the moray he re ceived. He was a pretty dexterous pickpocket, and a veteran gambler and cheat at country fairs. In the course of his criminal career, he became ac quainted with a gang of coiners and venders of forged notes, and being soon initiated into their modes of procedure, he associated with them for nearly two years. Considering that the gang could not always escape detection, and dreading that the apprehension cf one might lead to the conviction and punishment of the whole, he cut the connection, and commenced business on his own account. About two years ago, he left the border counties—the scenes of his former proceedings—as " a shanner," and rented a small room in an obscure part of Dum fries. By his previous knowledge and experience, he was enabled to construct a variety of excel lent moulds or dies, exclusively for his own use, and by this means reduced this branch of robbery to a system, by which he obtained the greatest profit with the least possible danger of detection. At the same time, to keep up a decent appearance, and ob viate suspicion, he occasionally wrought at such jobs as suited his inclination. While he resided at Dumfries he became acquainted with his second wife, his coadjutor in murderer, and fellow-sufferer on the gibbet. They furnished themselves with a considerable amount of base money, with which they set out on a tour, for the purpose of exchanging it . , for the genuine coin of the realm. When t hey ar rived in Gretna they were there married with the usual formalities, by virtue of the unique powers of the very obliging blacksmith. During their travels, though they had a number of very narrow escapes,' they were so successful as to accumulate a little money ; but it was almost uniformly squandered . as fast as it was obtained, in drunkenness and de bauchery, among their infamous male and female companions. Such, in a few words, was the diabo lical, chequered, and perilous manner of subsistence of John Bradfoot alias Stewart, before he reached the zenith of atrocity, by a novel and recreant mode of murder and robbery. When travelling one night between this city and Biggar, he quite unexpectedly encountered an old companion in crime, who was lurking by the way side, waiting an opportunity to commit a burglary, when a genteel family he named were wrapt in pro found repose. In the course of conversation he stated, that this was the last housebreaking he ever intended to perpetrate, as he had learned a much more profitable and less dangerous way of obtaining money. Stewart made a number of inquiries, and it was then and there he first learned, that by the administration of a stupifying and mortal drug, warm-hearted, unsuspecting men, especially, might be easily overcome and plundered. He resolved in stantly to profit by this new expedient ; he concert ed measures with his wife; they repaired forthwith to Glasgow, and made their first attempts in that great commercial city. Though they realized but small sums, their success exceeded their expectations,. but deeming it dangerous, both for their personal safety and the exposure and neutralization of their tar tarean discovery, to remain too long in one place, after a short stay they set off, and began their career of plunder in a town in the south of Scotland, at no very great distance from their former place of residence. But here we can be minute no farther, it must suffice to state, that the robberies were all perpetrated under the same guise—with the same insidious display of candour, kindness, and strong partiality for their victims—with the same fiendish manoeuvring to promote their mutual design—and the poison was always administered by the Fury in female form. The most patient investigation war rants the assertion that they have occasioned the death of three men—one in the south, and another in the west of Scotland, and Lamont, for whose murder and robbery they are to suffer, was the third. There may have been more, but on this head no farther authentic information can be obtained. Stewart's first victim was a quiet, kind, good man, and while he held the poisoned draught, by which he was soon to be bereaved of life, he ex pressed his astonishment at the ostensible kindness of the murderers, and the most sincere wishes for their prosperity. He was greatly esteemed by all who knew him, and " a man who had lived without an enemy died by the hand of a pretended friend." In our short history of the notorious Burke, it was stated that "for a long time after he had murdered his first victim, he found it utterly impossible to banish for a single hour the recollection of the fatal struggle—the screams of distress and despair —the agonizing groans—and all the realities of the dread ful dead. At night the bloody tragedy, accompanied by frightful visions of supernatural beings, tormented him in his dreams ; but he ultimately became so callous, that a murder added but little to his mental anguish." The same facts are applicable to Mrs. Stewart. When she first learned that she was a murderer, she was plunged into the deepest alarm, horror, and despair. She declared that she saw the pallid and distorted countenance of the murdered man frequently in her dreams—that he ac tually stared at her out of the stone walls of her apartment, and that for some time he followed and tortured her wherever she went. Stewart himself was made of " sterner stuff," and was far more alarm ed and annoyed by a dread of the officers of justice, than by any compunctious visitings of nature. It was then that dark and gloomy forebodings of the awful punishment that follows crime, shot with full force across his perturbed mind. Indeed, it may b e said, that the almost boundless circle of humiin wretchedness and 4uffertng cannot contain more mi serable beings than criminals in this state. Without money—without friends — without charact er or ho nest mean, of subsiwence, and tortured by the gall ing consciousness that they have mi rited the abhor.. rence of all the good and virtuous part of mankind; and, to crown all, they cannot starve—they cannot obtain employment —they are almost compelled by dire necessity to hurry on in the path of destruction rashly chosen, till arrested by the strong arm of jus• tice, they are cut off by the common executioner. From the hour in which he was committed for trial, Stewart was well convinced that his death on the gallows was inevitable, unless he effected his escape by breaking the prison. Ile instantly resolved to make every possible exertion, to run all hazards, and even to shed more blood, if by additional murders he could accomplish his design. While in Glasgow jail, he organised a scheme by which he expected to accomplish his purpose, but it was happily discovered, and he was subsequently confined in one of the iron rooms or " condemned cells." A few days pre vious to his trial, in conjunction with eight stout and desperate ruffians, he resolved on another at tempt to break the jail of this city. Their plan was, to seize an opportunity when the turnkeys were employed with the prisoners in the other wards, and murder the one attending on them, and Mr. Fisher, deputy-governor of the jail, and seize the keys, but failing in this atrocious project, they intended to take one of the massive seats, which they had loosened for the purpose, dash out the stauneheous of the windows at the foot of their stair, break the interposing cast-iron barriers, and force their way to the outer gate. If the turnkey then offered the least re sistance, he was to be instantly dispatched. When they reached the outside, they were to fly in dif ferent directions, and they were all bound by oath never to disclose the names of the ringleaders. They had procured two of the small spikes from the top of one of the railings, which they had carefully sharpened for the purpose of murdering the turn keys who opposed their e.lcape. The conspiracy was discovered of course, the necessary precautions promptly adopted, and when the two. spikes were taken from Stewart's cell, he coolly said he had done no more than any man would have done in his cir cumstances. When he found that all his plans were discovered, and that he would be watched if pos sible with redoubled vigilance, " his hope turned black despair," and he resigned himself to his fate. In our report of his trial, it was stated that their confident behaviour evinced that they had not the least hope of escaping the gallows. It must be still fresh in the recollection of our readers, that the murder and robbery for which these wretches are to be executed this day, was perpe trated on board the Toward castle steam-boat, while on her passage from Tarbot to Glasgow. They had observed a hawker's wife with nearly twenty pounds in her possession, and they resolved to de prive her of her property, though by the sacrifice of her life. Finding her too prudent to be easily en snared, and observing that Robert Lamont was pos sessed of a sum of money, he next engrossed their whole attention. Stewart sung, told him idle le gendary tales, while his partner in spoliation plied him with affected kindness, and gossip about " Rob Roy tartan," till he swallowed the fatal draught. The homicides were apprehended on arriving at the Broomielaw, and notwithstanding their experience and caution, they were convicted and condemned on as clear and satisfactory evidence, direct and cir cumstantial, as ever came under the consideration of a jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A gentleman named Bailey complained against a watermac under the Cireumltances stated below, which Mr. Bailey thought the public should be made acquainted with. "on Saturdar T grxiipg, at eight o'clock, I took the 'defendant's hoat;'at'the Temple-stairs, and directed him to go through London-bridge, to put me on board a steamer. It was perfectly safe at the time ; but he resolutely assured me that he would land me at the Old Swan Stairs. I requested, in the most pressing manner, that he would not do so, but take me through the bridge ; he however persisted, and did land me at Old Swan Stairs, and I was at the expense of hiring a porter to take my luggage to the Tower Stairs. I told him that I would certainly punish him, and his reason for refusing me was, that he could not, on account of the tide, return. The defendant considered it dangerous to attempt to pass under the bridge, as the tide was ebbing about three quarters of an hour. He had made in quiries of the Waterman's Company, and learned that he was justified in refusing to do as he had been required in this instance. The increasing dan ger of the navigation at the bridge made the refusal more necessary. The LORD MAYOR asked whether any danger was to be apprehended at the time. An assistant of the Waterman's Company at tended—He had been a practical man for 30 years, and he would not on any account try the bridge un der the circumstances stated. The waterman was justified for two reasons—first, the danger of the experiment; and, secondly, the book of fares said not a word of a fare from any place above bridge to any place below bridge : the witness said that the bridge was in a terribly dangerous condition, and every day would no doubt render it more so. The LORD MAYOR said, that the energy of the Duke of Wellington, who so rigidly superintended the new London-bridge, would soon make a change which would be most beneficial to the public. His Lordship then stated that he could not in this case inflict a penalty, as the defendant was perfectly justified. GUILDHALL. Mr. Harris, the salesman in Newgate-market, appeared upon the summons, for unlawfully selling a lamb unfit for human food, attended by Mr. Hob ler, jun., as his solicitor ; but the complainant making oath that that his witnesses refused to give evidence unless they were compelled, the hearing was ad journed, and summonses were issued for the attend ance of persons named by the complainant. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a man named James Taylor• was charged with stealing a box coat from the carriage of the Right Hon. Robert Peel, at his residence, Privy-gardens. David Jones, one of Mr. Peel's servants, stated that on Monday last between 11 and 12 o'clock, he buckled the coat in question to the dickey of his master's carriage. Benjamin Cole, another servant, deposed that he missed the coat from the dickey, and in a few minutes after it was given to him by a servant of Lord Farnborough, who detected the prisoner in the act of cat rying it away. The carriage was wait ing to convey Mr. Peel to Windsor. Thomas Dawson, servant to Lord Farnborough, met the prisoner at the back of Whitehall Chapel, with the coat under his arm. Suspecting that he had stolen it, witness took him into custody. The parties were bound over, and the prisoner committed to take his trial at the ensuing West minster Sessions. MARYLEBONE. John Elmore, a ballad-singer, was charged yes terday before Mr. GRIFFITH with stealing a large quantity of apples, and some Siberian crabs. He was brought to the office at an early hour, with his plunder, by Webster the officer, who met him on the towing path of the Regent's canal, between six and seven o'clock, and apprehended him on suspicion. The gardens within the district of this office have lately been ro bb e d to a most vexat i ous d egree , an d the difficulty of speaking to the fruit's identity has in some cases ena bl e d th e thieves to escape. In this instance the imp u dence of the prisoner, and a little disaster which befel his coat on a former occa sion, put aside all uncertainty, and he was made the object of summary punishment, under the statute 7 and 8 of George cap. 29, sec. 42. The garden is at No. 23, North Bunk, Regent's nark, and belongs to Mrs. Burrow ; and her mother, a lady ailv,inced in years, was brought forward as a wit ness. She had nothing to say respecting the present ti ; Sil..!Z hen strawberries were in season, at an early hour ore morning, from her eharelier she 'aww• the prisoner in her tltigliter's prilell gathering haul ;oys and pines,—some he ate, and many more he placed upon a handkerchief. She threw up the window, and shook her finger at him. " Good morning to you, madam, good morn ing," said he ; and after gathering the curners of his handkerchief into his hand, he shook the bundle of fruit at her in bravado, and got over the pales into the towing-path. To keep robbers away, tenter hooks had been placed in the pales, and as he re treated they caught his coat lappet and tore off a piece, which Mrs. Burrows preserved. The fruit produced before the magistrate corres ponded with the fruit still growing in Mrs. Burrow's garden, and her maid-servant deposed that she had seen the prisoner there on three ocesions. That morning (yesterday), at ten minutes after six, he was tying up a handkerchief full of apples, and she cried " Stop thief!" but there was nobody to stop him, and he ran away over the pales. 'Webster, the officer, gave evidence of die manner in which the prisoner came into custody as before stated, and said, " I think, your worship, I have got a little bit of cloth here, which fits a bole in the lappet of the prisoner's coat so nicely, that a good tailor would put it in, and nobody would know it ever had been out of it." He alluded to the piece of cloth left in strawberry-time upon the tenter-hooks, and it fitted the rent in all its unevenness. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the prisoner is hat he had to say about the piece of cloth belonging to his coat, which so fully supported the charge against him of stealing the strawberries, that nobody could doubt it ; and whether he wished to contradict any other part of the evidence ? "As to the coat, your Wor ship," replied the prisoner, " I don't care about it, and it's of no use to say I did not steal the apples, but I declare I never went into the garden before for fruit." Mr. GRIFFITH—You have been seen there re peatedly, according to the evidence. Prisoner—For a few roses, your Worship, only. Mr. GRIFFITH told him the charge of stealing fruit had been completely proved, and he com mitted him to the House of Correction and hard labour for three months. WORSHIP-STREET. On Wednesday night the case against Henry Jarvis, the alleged violator of Miss Louisa Damen bergen, was brought to a close, and the depositions having been completed, were read over to the pri soner, and signed by the winesses in the presence of the Magistrate. Mr. King, the surgeon, was present. and stated that he had unavoidably been prevented from at tending the examination which had taken place in the earlier part of the day. Mr. BROUGIITON read Mr. King's certificate pro duced at the first hearing of the case, in which he stated his belief that the prosecutrix had been in jured by an attempt to violate her person. The Magistrate having compared this with his subse quent declaration that there was no appearance of recent violence, advised him to be more cautious in future how he gave evidence or signed certificates, as a surgeon's evidence in such cases was of very serious consequences. lie added, that as Mr. King's deposition had not been taken with the others, he should not bind him over as a witness, and either party might subpoena him at the trial if they pleased. The reading of the evidence was frequently sus pended, the attention of the witnesses being directed to the prosecutrix, who appeared in a most de plorable condition from the swoonings and fits which overcame her during the examination. She was so strong in the convulsions which occasionally agitated her frame, that two of the officers had great difficulty in holding her. Even then, however, there were presorts present who indulged in ribald jests and heartless merriment upon the scene before them.— When our reporter quitted the office, nearly ten o'clock, the unfortunate girl was lyir.g extended upon the floor of the office, completely exhausted, and apparently inanimate, surrounded by her relatives. Mr. BROUGHTON spoke in severe terms of the in famous attempts which he said had been made to ruin the character of this unfortunate girl, by persons who had sent anonymous letters. It was natural that the friends of a mart in the prisoner's situation should rally round him when he was in peril, but persons who acted in the manner spoken of, injured him instead of rendering him a service by their pro ceedings. They said that there was a conspiracy against the prisoner, and the Magistrate said he un derstood there was much evidence present, but he was very glad that he had not heard any of it, for it was not his but the province of a jury to decide upon such evidence; but even supposing what was said to be true, that she was not a;virtuous person, and not a virgin at the time this assault was said to have been committed, she was not, therefore, to be subject to brutal assaults; two men were hanged not long since for a criminal assault upon a pros titute. The evidence of the mother and others for the prosecution, went to show that the capital offence had been completed, but he was bound to look at the evidence as it stood legally, and, taking into consideration the length of time before the alleged violation was made known and the prosecutrix subjected to the inspection of a sur geon, he did not think there was evidence upon which a Jury would convict the prisoner of a capital offence; and therefore he would not send him to trial for such an offence, but would take care that he should be prosecuted for the assault, and would bind the parties in recognizances to prosecute for the mis demeanur. The magistrate added, that the feelings of those persons who could unmoved look upon the dis tressingscene before them, were far from being credit. able to them. Whether the prosecutrix were virtuous or not before this occurrence, she was exceedingly to be pitied. He begged of her friends to bear in mind, that in any thing he had said he was pro nouncing no opinion upon the case, but only looked at the evidence, in a legal point of view, as it came before him. It was still open to them, if they thought their case sufficiently strong, or should here after get further evidence, to prefer an indictment against him for the capital offence. • The prisoner was then liberated upon bail.

St ihiT 01 1 THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have already briefly noticed the report o the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Irish Miscellaneous Estimates, with the ex ception of three, viz. those for the Association for Discountenancing Vice, for the Kddare street Education Society, and for the College of Maynooth, which not having been voted in supply on the 3d of April, did not come under the consideration of the Committee ; and we think it right, as the report contains much cu rious matter, again to advert to it, especially as the situation of the country at this moment im peratively calls for the most rigid economy in every public department. The principle under which the Irish Civil Estimates were originally made a part of the public expenditure, was this, —By a clause in the Act of Union it was pro vided, that " a sum not less than the sum granted by the Parliament of Ireland, on the average of six years immediately preceding the Ist of January, 1800, for the internal encou ragement of agriculture and manufactures, or for maintaining institutions for pious and charitable purposes, shall be applied for the period of 20 years to such local purposes in Ireland, in such manner as the Parliament of the - United King dom shall direct." This : : stipulation has not, however, been adhered to, either with respect to the duration of the term, or the amount of the sums voted. Taking the average of the six years immediately preceding the Union, the Irish Parliament appears to have annually voted 73,2771., which, continued • for 20 years, would have amounted to 1,465,540/. ; but the Parliament of the United Kingdom has gone on voting those Civil Estimates for 28 years ; and, on striking the average, it will be found that the sum voted was in no given ,year less than 100,0001., and for the three years from January, 1813, to January, 1816, the annual average was 343,5271. The total sum thus granted for 28 years was 4,348,3521., being an l exceeding beyond what was prescribed by the articles of Union of no less than 3,882,8121. Had this enormous sum been expended upon objects really beneficial to Ireland, we are sure that our greatest sticklers for economy would not utter a complaint against its being so appropri ated ; but the Report of the Committee proves that it has not been so bestowed. It has been laid out on jobs, to the great benefit of the do minant party in Ireland, but not only not ad vantageous but in many instances absolutely de trimental to the interests of the country. The Committee have performed their duty honestly and impartially ; and the extensive reductions re commended by them, show very clearly that they view, as wasteful and extravagant, the system on which the public money has been for many years expended in Ireland. In many cases they call for the abolition of the present grant altogether, others they recommend to be reduced one-half or one-third, and there are very few indeed of the items forming the estimates of which they entirely approve; but even to these they direct the attention of Parliament, in the hope that they may be beneficially modified. The Commit tee, in alluding to the diminution of numbers in the Protestant charter schools, which was com menced in 1825, by removing 300 children an nually from the institution, are of opinion that this plan should be continued, till the number left on the establishment can be supported by the funds attached to those schools (which in the present year amount t 0.6,7370 without further Parliatnentary aid. A - saVitig of about 20,0001. a-year will thus be effected, and a nuisance, the effect of which was to create' ill blood and dis senbion, which must alwayS prevail where religi ous proselytism is the object in view,- will he considerably abated. The Committee teem mend the abolition of the Foundling Hospital after the Ist of January, 1830; being convinced that the two objects of the institution, the pre servation of the lives of destitute children and their subsequent education, can be better effected by other means. The view taken by the Com mittee on this subject is wise. The Foundling Hospital offered, in fact, a premium for inconti nence, at an annual expense to the public of between 20,0001. and 30,0001. a-year. The Committee throw out several useful suggestions, relative to the Richmond Lunatic Asylum and the Hibernian Military School. They recom mend that the former, when a sufficient number of district lunatic asylums shall have been esta blished through Ireland, shall be converted into a lunatic asylum for Dublin and some of the adjacent counties, to be supported by local as sessment, and not by Parliamentary grant ; and they recommend the latter establishment to be brought under the direct controul of the mili tary departments, in the same manner, and voted in the same estimate, with the military asylum in England. The Committee cannot re commend the continuance of the Parliamentary grant to the Hibernian Marine School, because the benefits of it are not confined to the children of sailors who have served on board his Ma jesty's ships of war, and they therefore propose that the grant shall be gradually reduced, and ultimately discontinued. The amount of Par liamentary aid to the female orphan house to be brought, as speedily as circumstances will permit, to a sum not exceeding one-half the annual ex penditure of the establishment. The committee express their opinion that great advantage has been derived from the Royal Dublin Society, established in 1731. They think, however, that the private funds of the society might be in creased, principally by charging a certain sum to those who attend the lectures, which are now given gratuitously, and its claim on Parliamen tary aid placed on a footing more unobjection able than at present. The Committee recom mend that the purchase of books and periodicals should be strictly limited to those species of publications which are suited to an establishment scientific and literary. The annual grant of 3001. to the Royal Irish Academy is approved of without comment. One of the most gratify ing items in these Estimates is that which re lates to the Commissioners of the Board of Charitable Bequests, appointed under the Act of 40 Geo. 111., cap. 75. It appears that these Commissioners have, since the year 1802, re covered sums of money belonging to various charities, which had been diverted from their proper purpose, amounting in the whole to 9 .4s. 6(i.

Difeoun't . -7 .boliAH s making charitable bequests tc" ' - -I tA: *AO ; 'Oat the com m i s si o ners may i, , : 'Llsigil: Vliihthein. '" I always consi ...., er t it§i&te}/t - lhat it was quite unnecessary -s,f . 4.,1ia thjt.;:stattjte, 'because whenever a legacy ,ii t ilyeiVas' f a -charity, the objects of that charity .„ ;lime a sufficient motive to insist upon its being paid ; and the next of kin, who has been disap pointed by means of the charity, has also a mo tive of resentment sufficiently strong to induce him to inform the Attorney-General, so as to have the charity enforced by the interference and duty of the Attorney-General" We entirely differ from Mr. O'Connell. We are sure that without this inquisitorial power the commis sioners; instead of effecting a great deal, could have accomplished nothing ; and as to the " suf ficient motive" which individuals beneficially in terested in a charity or the disappointed next of kin might have to call on the Attorney-General to enforce the execution of a testator's will, the futility of the argument becomes at once appa rent, when we recollect that during . a lorJ g ser i es of years, and under a long succes`..,..on of Attor neys-General, the abuses 7, 1 ,- i t c h t h e tomm i s _ sioners have detected •and rectified were go. ing on, and nei.::ner the objects of charity thus cheated, ';ear the next of kin, made any application cor the interference of the Attor ney. General. In very many instances it is probable that the parties interested were, from lapse of time, unacquainted with the fact. With respect to the dread felt by Roman Catholics lest any charitable bequest made by them should be interfered with by the Commissioners, it ap pears, on .Mr. O'Connell's own showing, that It arises from an ignorance of the law. Mr. O'Connell cites two decisions of Lord Chan cellor Manners, which prove the perfect validity of bequests made by Catholics for charitable pur poses. He says, "in the case of ' Merry v. Power,' the opinion of Lord Manners was, in the first instance, unfavourable to the Catholic charity. Afterwards, upon the Master's report, it again came before Lord Manners ; and upon further consideration, he decided that his first opinion was wrong, and his ultimate judgment was in favour of the charity. There was another decision of Lord Manners, when there was 201. left for saying masses for the repose of the soul of a person departed, and the decision of Lord Manners was, that it was a good charity, over ruling the report and opinion of the Master." " But," adds Mr. O'Connell, " these decisions . are very little known beyond the precincts of the hall of the Four Courts. They are known, per haps, to professional men, a nd th at , p el h aps , i s all." Why, we ask, are they not made generally known by the popular Catholic Barristers to the whole Catholic community, for the purpose of removing their fears, and of restoring that con fidence, with respect to the proper application of any charitable bequest they may make, which, it appears from Mr. O'Connell's statement, they do not at present feel ? The Committee express their approval of the provisions established fur the check and control of the general operations of the department of the Board of Works, as " well calculated to prevent abuse." Some of those provisions might, in our opinion, be very advantageously adopted by the Board of Works here, the machinery of which, as we may collect from the recent case of Mr. Nash, is exceedingly defective. In describing the mode of proceed ing which the Board are obliged to adopt, Mr. Robinson, their secretary, states—" When the architect • estimated any nerd works, or re -Isaira a C.... Tailors., _to .exceed 1001. such es timate is laid before the Lord-Lieutenant for his Excellency's approbation ; which, being ob tained, the commissioners proceed to contract for the execution of such works by public advertise ment in the newspapers, and by competition, before a board of commissioners, taking good and sufficient security for the due performance of the same." Things ara managed in a more snug and secret manner here ; and, whether the re sponsibility in the erection, repair, or pulling down of public buildings, attaches to the Trea sury, to the Board of Works, or to the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, it is almost impossible to discover. " The respective duties of the subordinate officers of the board . (it is stated by Mr. - . Robinson) are clearly defined, to each of whom, on entering office, an oath is ad ministered, 'declaring that he will execute the duties of his office diligently, faithfully, and im partially, without having any private respect to himself, in prejudice of the service in which he . is thus engaged ; and all persons in the depart ment are prohibited from being a contractor, tradesman, or artificer, under the board, or from being an agent to such contractor, tradesman, or artificer ; as also from receiving any fees whatever, under any pretence, on pain of immediate dis mission." If such a regulation prevailed here, the profits of Mr. Nash, the surveyor of the works, would, we believe, be considerably cur tailed in the erection of the new palace. The committee appear to have paid particular atten tion to the " stationery" department. This has been, for many years, a very profitable job for Alderman Sir Abraham Bradley King, as pa tentee stationer to the Government : it is not, however, so profitable at present as it has hereto fore been. In, 1821, the Irish Government, in consequence of the extravagant charges that were made, instituted an inquiry on the subject, and, - after a good deal of higgling, Sir Abraham con sented to supply English paper, at 10 per cent. above the London wholesale price, and Irish paper at 3i per cent. above the London whole sale price of corresponding paper, and 6 per cent. to cover the expellee of the establishment. The committee, adverting to the fact that the price thus stipulated for was much higher than the price of the Stationery-office here, recommend that the whole question of supply of stationery shall undergo further investigation, for the purpose of ascertaining whether time public offices cannot be supplied at a cheaper rate. That they may we have no doubt ; for, looking to the evidence of Mr. Church, the Comptroller of the Stationery-office in London, we find him stating that the prices charged by Sir Abraham are 50 per cent. higher than the prices of the Stationery-office here. If Sir Abraham's patent rights had expired, a very considerable saving might evidently be made by supplying the public offices in Ireland with paper direct from the Stationery-office in London. It appears that, in the year 1828, the enormous sum of 1,3501. was charged for stationery for the Lord Lieutenant's Household. One would suppose that his Lordship's establishment was extremely literary, were not the fact given in evidence, that a con siderable part of this sum was paid in hard cash to those who had the privilege of claiming a certain quantity of paper, but who preferred money to stationery. Amongst those to whom this privilege was extended, we observe the butler, the cook, the confectioner, the gardener, the state-coachman, and the head -groom. The committee very properly recommend that these allowances to the Lord Lieutenant's House hold, whether commuted or in kind, shall hence- forth cease. This department ought to have been thoroughly cleansed several years since, when the Earl of Darnley instituted an inquiry into certain malpractices connected with it ; but Sir Abraham, being a prominent member or the Orange faction, had friends at Court, who would not suffer his strong hold to be assailed. It was in the course of the investigation to which we have alluded, that a person who had been em ployed by Sir Abraham, and who had made im proper charges, declared that he had made them of his own volition, for the purpose of putting money into his master's pocket, but that his said master was perfectly ignorant of the fact. A better joke we never heard. The scandalous expence attending the publica tion of proclamations in certain newspapers will, we hope, on the recommendation of the com mittee, be abolished; They very justly observe, that procla::iations which interest the public gene:duy, will, if in inserted in the Dublin Ga zelle, be copied as articles of intelligence into the ditrerent newspapers. The Committee de clare their decided opinion, that the criminal prosecutions carried on under the directions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General, by Crown solicitors appointed for the several circuits, has been eminently conducive to the due administra tion of justice, and ought, with certain suggested improvements, to be persevered in. They however disapprove of the mode in which the Crown solicitors are at present paid,—namely, by bills of costs, formed partly of charges for ideal services ; and recommend that a fixed salary, in lieu of all allowances, shall be established. In ad verting to the commission of judicial inquiry the Committee observe, that the expence has exceeded the sum of 108,2581., being nearly the double expenditure in England, and nearly fourfold the expenditure in Scotland, of a similar inquiry (each of which has been closed for several years), and they therefore sug gest the expediency of bringing the operations of the Irish Commission to a speedy termina tion. With reference to the Record Commis sion, the Committee notice the extraordinary fact, that while the English Record Commission. ers have published 40 volumes, illustrative of laws, history, and antiquities, two volumes only have appeared under the authority of the Irish Commissioners of Records, which have cost the country nearly 100,0001. These are dear volumes with a vengeance. To lessen the expen diture, it is proposed to discontinue the branch of the Irish Record Commission now carried on in London. The Committee recommend in the strongest terms, the execution of public works, as being calculated to give an additional and a permanent stimulus to industry, and an increased demand for labour. We have thus summarily gone through the various heads of this able and interesting report ; and our conviction is, that if the suggestions of the Committee be complied with, the result will be highly beneficial not only in a financial, but, what is of much greater im portance, in a moral point of view.— Times. In our Paper of yesterday we inserted an ar ticle from " A Catholic Correspondent," which contained the following passage :—" Yesterday evening Judge Johnson arrived in this town (Clonmel), and, after the Grand Jury had been sworn, addressed them very briefly, remarking that the calendar was very light, notwitlistandi►ig a number of aggravated cases." The writer then proceeds to give us a description of the contents of a calendar which an Irish Judge declared to be a light one. It appears that it presented a list of 114 persons for trial, - of whom 34 were to be tried for murder, and six for rape ! After this it is difficult to say what quantity of criminal busi ness would constitute a heavy calendar in the opinion of an Irish Judge. There are no less than 40 prisoners to take their trial upon capital charges of the worst description in a provincial town in Ireland, and the Judge congratulates the Grand Jury on the lightness of their labours. This is a curious commentary on the progress of civilization, and the " march of morality," in the sister island ; but our correspondent, after stating that 17 were to be tried for assaulting the Police, goes on to inform us that the remainder are to be arraigned for the ordinary crimes of burglary, robbery, &c. We recollect Mr. O'Connell boasting, some time ago, of the superior moral habits by which the " finest peasantry, in the world" were distin guished. Here we have a practical illustration of his glowing and florid panegyrics upon the virtues of the " lower orders" of his countrymen ; but we take the liberty of saying that such flat tering statements are not likely to be creative of a higher degree of civilization than that which produces such "light calendars"as this. It argues that great crimes must be indeed of very common and familiar occurrence, when 40 charges of mur der and other savage atrocities call forth the lan guage of judicial congratulation. The true pa triotism is that which, instead of eulogising the barbarism and ministering to the passions of the people, tells them salutary truths, even though it should be unpleasant, and strikes at the po pularity of crime, by shaking the dominion of ignorance. The Irish peasantry have naturally warm and generous feelings, but they are, in consequence of the want of moral instruction, liable to the most pernicious influence of the passions. They are creatures, not of reason but of impulse, who are equally unreflecting in the practice of a virtue or the perpetration of a crime. They have been long enough in the hands of politicians who, regardless of their moral condi tion, have moulded them to their own ambitious purposes ; and they will continue to be involved in crime and misery until they are delivered from political empyrics by those who have cou rage and integrity to lead them to civilization.— Morning Herald. It will be remembered that, in the course of the Parliamentary proceedings which terminated in the passing of the Bill for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, the Duke of Wellington took occasion to state, in the House of Lords, that, should the measure he advocated not be followed by that improvement in the internal tranquillity of the Sister Kingdom to which he looked for ward, he should feel himself justified in applying to the Legislature for such additional powers as existing circumstances might seem to render ne cessary. That the condition of Ireland is not yet such as can be looked upon with satisfaction is, unhappily, too notorious ; that it is a source of deep and painful solicitude, is equally certain ; and, we believe, we run little risk of contradic tion when we say, that some information more accurate and circumstantial than the ordinary routine of official communications, is considered an indispensable preliminary to the adoption of such remedial measures as the case may be found to require. For the attainment of this important object, a gentleman connected by birth and pro perty with Ireland, and in other respects well qualified to observe with discrimination, and re port with fidelity, the real state of things, di vested of the exaggeration of party, and of the malignity of sectarian prejudice, is at this mo ment, and at the expence of some inconvenience to the public service, in thht country. We by no means pretend to anticipate the nature of the statement he may think it his duty to make ; and as little do we venture to guess at the exact complexion 'of the measures that will in the en suing Session be submitted for the consideration of Parliament ; but that something is in con templation we firmly believe s and that the preli minery we have mentioned has been already adopted, we positively affirm.—Morning Chron. We referred a few days ago to a recent publi cation in German by a Dr. Schneller, on Aus tria, in two vols., in which the system of that State is laid bare to inspection. We are glad to perceive, from the Preface, that there is a pros , pect of a termination ere long to that absurd system of restriction for which that Government has been so distinguished. The preface to the second volume is curious :--" Having lived twenty-eight years, during the period of the convulsions in France and America, in all parts of the Austrian dominions, I am entitled to pronounce an opinion respecting them. I en tered that State a young man, with the views of a native of the Rhine, without any unfavourable prepossessions. I left it when a man with dis tressed feelings. The complete want of free dom as a teacher, and the right of publication, alone determined me to quit an honourable si tuation, many dear and tried friends, a sacred band of cultivated scholars, and a residence in a populous and delightful city, which I was in clined to consider as a second home. Rewarded with testimonies of good will, from the Arch, duke to the lowest individual, and with rights of citizenship twice communicated, I trod with wife and child the difficult path of emigration. As an exile, I conceive I can best express my gratitude by the truth. For I hold fast to the maxim of the benevolent John, who says, Know the truth, and the truth will make you free.' The closing of the Austrian dominions against Europe in general—but', more especially against Germany which is more rigorously enforced through its Cen sorship Decrees than through Custom-horse regulations, will not, cannot endure for ever. 1 Several heads of the Archducal House are too well-intentioned, and too penetrating, to wish to cut off the numerous people under them from the intellectual world." From these allusions to Archdukes and Archducal House, it would seem that the system pursued in Austria is not very palatable to the Rising Sun of that country. It is high time that there should be a change. The French journals tell us that the literary men refuse to be pensioned by the present Govern ment. It is not very consolatory to reflect that a man like Gentz, of distinguished abilities, should have, from selfish motives (for he is too clear-headed to be a dupe)—should have lent himself to the advocating such a system of ob scurantism as is developed in the notes attached by him to the volumes of Dr. Schneller, when the manuscript came before him as head censor. Europe has beard more than once of the senti ments uttered by the Emperor Francis during his journey through his Italian dominions. The following passage from Dr. Schneller will give a more comprehensive view of the fashion able ideas of the Court of Vienna : ' " Science (lie says) suffered greatly, as the following declarations were uttered not once, but frequently in high and distinguished places:— , We wish no learned men. They only con fuse by their speculations the plain good sense of men, and destroy the old satisfaction of the peo ple. The object should now be to form Theo logians, Jurists, and Physicians, for the objects of the State and for business.' In the naming to places under Government attention should not be paid to learning, but to principles. The worst of the thing now-a-days, is that the most uptight people often have the worst principles. If a man has been a little under a cloud, State, Church, and other people are let alone by him. But they who have nothing to reproach them selves with, have an itch for modelling and changing State, Church, and all the world, ac cording to their own notions. Honest men have often the most restless dispositions. Even the physical sciences are turned to bad uses. There is a stone for instance. Nothing will serve them but proving that twenty thousand years have been required for its growth. What then are we to do with the six thousand years of Moses ?'—' Having now finished with the nations, we must take the youth in hand. We ' must therefore restore the Jesuits. Their learning alone, is fully suited to the forms of Monarchy, as it was invented by Rudolph, of Hapsburg, and esta blished by Ferdinand the First. If the fathers of the Society were serviceable to the objects of the State, there is nothing to be objected to them. If they should become refractory, we can suppress them a second time easier than at first. On a second suppression the estates which they have acquired will serve to enrich again the Imperial Treasury.' All writing of books only nourishes the depraved spirit of the age. Even the Austrian Observer is injurious to pure principles. Alany do not believe the truth, merely because it is to be found in it. It also makes the people, merchants and artizans, burghers and peasants, acquainted with every thing which takes place in Portugal and Spain, in France and England, and America. By this daily reading of these things, the most unfa vourable comparisons, the most absurd self•con ceit, and a great curiosity to pry into domestic matters are produced. Nothing is more want ed than to put an end to books." All sorts of absurd and idiotical opinions and principles of this nature were but too frequently uttered both in German and in the Vienna dialect.— " Learning suffered greatly in Austria through the departure of distinguished Scholars, and the deposition of Teachers of liberal views. Peter Frank, the creator of Medical Police, a professor without his equal, was driven to Russia. The celebrated Wolfstein was also driven by misfor tunes to Russia. Joannes Muller, the author of the History of Switzerland, having long been deprived of all liberty, left Vienna for Berlin. Wiebeking, the most celebrated German writer on Engineering, went to Munich. Rheinholt left Austria, where lie was without liberty, for Germany, where he was more free, and .t aug ht in Jena and Kiel. Fesslir was obliged to write far from Hungary, his country, the history of its inhabitants. Dr. Gall, the . inventor of Craniology, and Anatomist of the Brain in a new way, was obliged to repair to Paris and London to teach and write, which was not allowed him in Austria, on a cco unt of suspicion of Materialism. Schultes, an in defatigable traveller and acute observe r , l e f t Po land, as a Botanist and Physician, for Landshut ; Meissner, • who laboured so much in Prague for the improvement of taste, was obliged, in an ad vanced age, to leave his scholars and his friends, for the Rhine ; Andre, who contributed so much by his patriotic Journal to the diffusion of use ful kno w l e dge, was, by the most pi t if u l insults, driven from Moravia to Wurtemberg ; the mild Feilmoser, one of the most profound theologians, was deposed in Innsbruck, as he received the ho►tourable invitation from the Catholic Faculty of Tubingen. After the proceedings at Carls bad there were many important dismissals of Professors ; in Bohemia the innocent Fessel and the clever Bolzano ; in Vienna, Rem bold, Professor of Philosophy ; and Weintrett, Professor of Religion ; in Italy, the admirable Gioja and the Learned Rosary. Besides re movals, numbers were put on trial on the most trifling pretexts, and though not the smallest proofs were obtained, they suffered all manner of annoyances—as, for instance, Albertini, Pock horni, Schuabel, Maieshofer, and many others. Such proceedings cast down those who were not immediately affected ; they diffused every where uneasiness and apprehension. In almost every Institution for Education investigations were con ducted under the commands of the Coutt Chaplain, Frint ; Stofft, the Directorof Studies ; and Sedluski, President of the Police. All the inquisitors of Germany put together are a blazing torch-light, compared to the shades which spread over Austria." One can hardly persuade oneself that such perversity as is here described, could exist in the nineteenth century. Can we wonder after this, that Austria, possess ing some of the richest and most genial regions of Europe by nature, should actually be one of the poorest States. She has even fewer horses to the square mile than Russia. In cattle, and all the productions of agriculture, she is wretch edly poor.—lbid. It would appear from the American Papers that the Washington Government begins to entertain serious doubts of the policy of en couraging the manufacturing system in the United States, and would gladly return, did it meet with a reciprocal feeling here, to its former or even more reciprocal, relations with this country. We scarcely expected a negociation on such a subject to be commenced during the Presidency of General Jackson, who is princi pally known in this country as its bitter enemy ; but we would fain hail it, come from what quarter it may, as the indication not only of a better understanding between this country and the United States, but of a more profitable exchange of their mutual products than has lately taken place. England annually imports a certain quantity of foreign corn from foreign countries, and the United States can supply her with almost any required quantity on lower terms than any other country ; and England, on the other hand, has manufactures of every kind to dis pose of, at a cheaper rate than the people of the United States can manufacture them for themselves. The true policy of both is, there- fore, to come to an arrangement, by means of which the corn of the one may be changed for the manufactures of the other ; and to such an ar rangement we have little doubt, that the ma jority of the people of the United States would now willingly agree. They have not only ex perienced the folly of the restrictive system, and the bankruptcy and ruin attendant on their at tempts to manufacture for themselves ; but they begin to fear that the tariff; which the Legisla ture sanctioned, may give rise to measures of a more retributive nature on the part of this court. try. But how are the English landowners to be appeased.? Will they give up their high rents in order that the British manufacturer may be saved from bankruptcy, and the British artizan from starvation ? Will the men who professed not only to solve their last guinea, but to shed their blood for the salvation of the country, give up the.'r monoptzly, that the taxes may be paid * and manufactures flourish, as they were wont Co do ? We fear not. They are men of large words, but small bowels of compassion. They can offer largely, when their titles, and their acres, .and their privileges are in danger; but let the hour of their need be but past, and they are again on the high horse bestrode by their caste, and John Bull left to flounder out of the mire, into which they had urged him, as he best may. The present, however, is evidently a favourable opportunity for trying the experi ment, and procuring satisfactory terms of ex change from the United States; and if the Duke of Wellington can effect any thing with the landowners, we trust that, for the credit of his government and the good of the country, he will not be slow in attempting it.—Morning Advertiser. THE ARMY. Horse Guards, Aug. 10, 1829. At a General Court Martial, held in the Gaol of the County of Limerick, at Limerick, en the 20th May, 1829, and continued by adjournment to the 23d of the same month, Brevet Major William Butts, of the Royal Artillery, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.: " Ist. For having, on or about the 7th day of May, 1828, dishonourably obtained, from the Pro vincial Bank of Ireland, the sum of 3.504, being the amount of certain monies then advanced to the said Brevet Major Butts, by or on behalf of the said Bank, by way of discount upon a certain bill of ex change presented by him, purporting to be drawn by himself, the said Brevet Major Butts, and ac cepted by the Rev. Edward Drury Butts, and there by holding forth to the said Provincial Bank of Ire land, that the Rev. E. D. Butts would pay the same bill when due, or in failure thereof, that he, the said Brevet Major Butts, would pay the said bill, whereas he, the said Brevet Major Butts, well knew at the time when he received the said sum of 3501. from the Provincial Bank of Ireland, that the said bill would not be paid according to the tenor thereof, and which said bill has not, in point of fact, been paid;—such conduct being unbecoming the charac ter of an officer and a gentleman. " 2d. For that the said Brevet Major Butts, being indebted to Mr. Jacob West in the sum of .511. ss. id. for certain goods, he, by false represent ations, induced the said Mr. Jacob West to accept in discharge thereof a certain bill of exchange, pur porting to be drawn by himself, the said Brevet Major Butts, and accepted by the Ref. Edward Drury Butts, payable at Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Company, army ag en t s , f or 1 80 1 ., t h ereby hold ing out to the said Mr. Jacob West, that the Rev. E. D. Butts would pay the said bill, as acceptor thereof, at Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Company, army agents, or that in failure thereof, he, the said Major Butts, would pay the said bill, as drawer thereof, and thereby inducing the said Mr. Jacob West to pay to him, the said Brevet Major Butts, the sum of 128/. 14 s. I I d . i n cas h , being the difference between the said debt of 51/. ss. Id. and the amount of the sa id bill f or 180/ ., h e, the said Brevet Major Butts, well knowing that the said army agents, Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Company, had no assets in their hands belonging to the Rev. E. D. Butts, nor to him the said Brevet Major Butts, and that th e sa id bil l would not be paid, according to the tenor thereof, at Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Company, and the said hill, or the amount thereof, has never yet been paid to the said Mr. Jacob West; such conduct being un becoming the character of an Officer and a gentleman. cc 3d. For having dishonourably induced the said Mr. Jacob West to accept divers orders and cheques upon Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Company, in and for the payment of certain sums therein men , tinned, and in discharge of the debt due to him from the said Brevet Major Butts, as in the last charge , stated, falsely representing to the said Mr. Jacob West, from time to time, that the same would be paid and discharged according to the tenor thereof, whereas the said Brevet Major Butts well knew that the said Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Com• pony, had no assets belonging to him in their hands, and that such orders and cheques would not be paid, and the said orders and cheques still remain unpaid; such conduct being unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman. 1 " 4th. For that he, the said Brevet Major Butt; being indebted to the firm of Messrs. Alexander, of Limerick, for certain goods sold to him, to the amount of 8.,!. 10s. or thereabouts, he, by false representations, induced the firm of Messrs. Alex ander to accept, in discharge thereof, a certain bill, or order for the payment of money, purporting to be an order made by him upon J. S. Cooper, Esq., of Dublin, for the payment of 35/. 10s., then by holding out to the said Messrs. Alexander, that the said J. S. Cooper would pay the said sum of 35/. 10s., according to the tenor of the said order, and thereby inducing the said Messrs. Alexander to pay him, the said Brevet Major Butts, the sum of 271. in cash, being the difference between the said sum of 35/. lOs., and the sum of 8/. 10s., Iw, the said Brevet Major Butts, well knowing that the said J. S. Cooper had no assets or money in his hands belonging to the said Major Butts, and that the said bill of 35/. 10s. would not be paid according to the tenor thereof; and the amount of the said debt was not paid to Messrs. Alexander by J. S. Cooper, upon their application for the same, accord ing to the tenor of the said order, and the said sum therein mentioned has not yet been paid to the said firm of Messrs. Alexander; such conduct being un becoming the character of an officer and a gentleman. " sth. For that he, the said Brevet Major Butts, being indebted to one William O'Donnell, a butcher in Limerick, in the sum of 91. for goods sold to him, and having, notwithstanding repeated solicitations by the said William O'Donnell, for a long time dishonotirably neglected and omitted to discharge the said debt, he, the said Brevet Major Butts, in the month of March last, induced the said William O'Donnell to accept, in payment of the said debt, his promissory note for 91. 4s. whereby the said Brevet Major Butts u►►dertook to pay the amount of the said debt mentioned therein, accord ing to the tenor of the said note, but which note was not paid when it became due;—suet conduct being highly di-honourable on the part of the said Brevet Major Butts. All such conduct, as set forth in the foregoing charges, being unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and prejud►cial to the honour and chrracter of his Majesty's service." Upon which charges . the Court came to the follow ing decision : " The Court Martial having duly considered the evidence given in support of the charges against the prisoner, Brevet Major William Butts, as also his defence, is of opinion that, with respect to the first charge, the prisoner, Brevet Major William Butts, is Guilty." " With respect to the second charge, the Court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty." " With respect to the third charge, the Court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty." " With respect to the fourth charge, the Court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty." " With respect to the fifth charge, the Court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty." '• The Court loth therefore adjudge, that Brevet Major William Butts be dismissed his Majesty's service." " The Court having performed a painful and un avoidable duty in passing the above sentence on the prisoner, begs leave in the strongest manner, under the distressing circumstances in which his large family is placed, his length of service in the army, and his present unhappy situation, humbly to recom mend him to his Majesty's merciful consideration." His Majesty has been pleased to approve and con firm the finding and sentence of the Court ; and the General Commanding-in-Chief directs that the fore going charges preferred against Brevet Major Wil liam Butts, of the Royal Artillery, together with the finding and sentence of the Court, shall be en tered in the General Order Book, and read at the head of every regiment in his Majesty's service. By command of the Right Honourable GENERAL LORD HILL, Commanding-in-Chief, HERBERT TAYLOR, Ailjt.-Gen. Horse Guards, Aug. 8, 1829. At a General Court Martial, held - at Up Park Camp, in the Island of Jamaica, on the 31st March, and Ist April, 1829, Lieut. Thomas Fiske, of the 33d Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermen tioned charge, viz.:— " For conduct derogatory to the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, on the morning of the 26th instant, when stationed at Fort Augusta, written a letter to Quarter Master Lewis, of the 33d Regiment, whilst the latter officer was in the discharge of his duty as Quarter Master, and acting in obedience to the orders of his Commanding Officer, in which letter he (Lieut. Fiske) makes use of gross, threatening, and insulting language to Quarter Master Lewis, such ungentlemanly con duct on the part of Lieut. Fiske being subversive of good order, harmony, and military discipline, in the regiment to which he belongs." Upon which charge the Court came to the fol lowing decision : " The Court having maturely weighed and con sidered the evidence produced in support of the pro secution, together with what the prisoner has stated and brought forward in his defence, is of opinion, that he, the prisoner, Lieut. Thomas Fiske, of the 33d Regiment, is guilty of the whole of the charge exhibited against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, the Court does therefore sentence him, the said prisoner, Lieut. Thomas Fiske, to be cashiered. " The Court having performed its painful duty of cashiering the prisoner, Lient.l homas Fiske, of the 33d Regiment, feels it to be its particular duty to state, that it considers, that the conduct of Quarter Master Lewis, of the 33d Regiment, in having ordered the servant aad baggage of, the prisoner to he turned out of the servant's room, and leaving the latter in the Barrack-square, without having given previous notice to the prisoner of the Commanding Officer's orders, either verbally or in writing, was highly reprehensible; and it considers thar such harsh and unusual proceeding, on the part of Quarter Master Lewis, tended in a great degree to produce those angry feelings which induced the prisoner to write the unfortunate letter which has been the subject of investigation." His Majesty has been pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court ; and the General Commanding-in-Chief directs that the foregoing charge preferred against Lieutenant Thomas Fiske, of the 33d regiment, together with the find ing and sentence of the Court, shall be entered in the General Order Book, arid read at the head of every regiment in his Majesty's service. By Command of the Right Honourable GENERAL LORD HILL, Commanding-in- Chief, HERBERT TAYLOR, Adjt.-Gen. The late Margravine of ANSPACH wrote an impromtu charade, and presented it to her husband, L or a C., as the person most interested in the subject of it, and most capable of judging of its truth : " Mon premier eat un tyran—mari Dion second est un monstre—age ; Et m on tout est—le diable—marriage." —Personal and Literary Memorials.

A meeting of the parishioners was held in the Vestry-room last evening, to receive the repor t , of a Committee appointed to oppose theitr creased rate imposed by the Chelsea Water Cour pany. It appeared that, owing to the impurlti of the water, and the numerous complaints f the inhabitants, the Company had, erected a filter bed, at the expellee of about 5,0001., and ha d , charged the inhabitants an additional rate. Th e parishioners attempted to resist this on the ground that, by the original contract, the Cour pany was to supply them with pure water, Boa that they were already receiving a profit f ll9ll/ eight to twelve per cent. on their capital. A . meeting was held last May, at the Vestry-roote , and most numerously attended, when a Com' mittee was appointed to investigate the subject , '" , and report to some future meeting. The Seca' . tary read the report of the Committee, from which it appeared that there were two practicable means of supplying the district with water, intl e 7 pendent of the Company —one, by a supply fT° lll . the Thames—and the other, by digging we lls. The latter was recommended by the Committee) and a motion founded on it to the effect, tha t reference be made to the Parochial Committee, whether or no it might be expedient to expen d between 20(1. and 3001. in boring for wat er 'l l This motion was un an i mous ly agree d to; an, in case of the propos a l b e i ng a d opte d by ha Parochial Committ ee , it w ill b e , at som e fot u t re period, submitted to th e cons id era ti on of..' 4 "e parishioners for their approbation. From th e . apathy, however, displayed by the parishione te (not more than 80 being present), the expen ee . • which might be incurred by adopting some naR supply, and the payment of the additional Or by the great majority of the inhabitants, it Ile extremely probable that the Company will fa r some time longer enjoy their monopoly.

At the express desire of many eminent Schoolmasters, Mr. VALPY has commenced the publication of a SERIES of such of the GREEK AUTHORS as are chiefly read in the upper classes of Schools and in Colleges. The best Texts are adopted, and the CRITICAL and EXPLANA TORY NOTES are presented, it is presumed, in a more inviting and accessible form than those of Latin Commen tators, by avoiding that profuseness of annotation which frequently anticipates the ingenuity, supersedes the industry, and consequently retards rather than promotes the improve ment of the pupil. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS, adapted to the points discussed in the Notes, and IN DEXES, are also added ; and the Series, it is hoped, will constitute a convenient introduction to the niceties and clegancies of Greek Literature, and to the perusal of that portion of the relics of antiquity which is best calculated to interest a youthful mind. Each play may be had separately; and it is intended that all shall be published in a cheap duodecimo form. Sold by Baldwin, Longman, Whittaker, and all other Booksellers. STANDARD SCHOOL BOOKS.

MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday an unusually numerous Meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates took place at the Sessions House, Clerken well-green, for the despatch of county business. The Chair was taken by F. CONST, Esq. A discussion took place as to the salary to be al lowed to the new Governor of the House of Correc tion. From the report it appeared the late Go vernor (Mr. Vickery) received 4001. salary, and perquisites of the value of 180/. more. It was de cided by a large majority that the perquisites should be abolished, and the salary raised to 6001. The next question was, whether any, and what, retiring pension should be granted to Mr. Vickery. Mr. Sergeant PELL, adopting the recommendation of the Committee, proposed 2001. per annum.— Carried. PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM. On the motion of Mr. Sergeant PELL, it was or dered that 63,2001. be raised by mortgage of the county rate, for the purpose of erecting and finish ing the proposed Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell. EXPENCES OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. Sir PETER LAURIE brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, for the appointment of a committee to consider the expediency of having two Grand Juries for the county sitting at one time, and adopting other measures for facilitating the course of criminal justice at the Old Bailey, and lessening the present enormous expences. In his capacity as a Magistrate, both of the city and county, he had pe culiar opportunities of seeing the heavy expences attending their judicial proceedings. In the May Session alone the expences allowed to witnesses were not less than 2,9171. In the May Session, no less than 1801. was paid to witnesses on bills which were thrown out. In one case, at the May Ses sion, a man, named Grey, was indicted for stealing some tips, value is. 6d. He begged Mr. Brough ton's attention to this case, as he held in his hand a certificate signed by that gentleman, allowing a wit ness for six days' attendance at the office. There was a further allowance of five days' attendance be fore the Grand Jury. The bill was finally thrown out, and yet the county was saddled with an ex pence of no less than 61. for this trifling eighteen penny case. In one Session he found, upon inves tigation, that while the amount of property charged to have been stolen was only 8001., the expence of the prosecutions was between 3,0001. and 4,0001. The city was subjected to an annual expence of 15,000/. for maintaining the county debtors and cri minals, and all they got for it was the empty honour of electing a sheriff; but he had reason to believe the time would soon come when the city would de cline retaining that honour at so great an expence. All he wanted was a committee to investigate the subject. After some further observations, the wor thy Magistrate made his motion to the effect as above given. Mr. Serjeant PELL admitted the importance of the subject, and he was free to say, that if Sir Peter Laurie could succeed in reducing the present enor mous—he would add, scandalous—expences of our criminal proceedings, he would deserve the lasting thanks of the country. With respect to the esta blishing two distinct grand juries, it could not be done without a breach of the Constitution, and he should tremble to see it attempted. Mr. MILLS would vote for a committee if Sir Peter Laurie would consent to limit it to an inquiry into the best mode of expediting justice, and lessen ing its expences, and omit altogether the question about an additional grand jury. Sir PETER LAURIE having amended his motion in the manner suggested by Mr. Mills, it was put and carried unanimously. It being now four o'clock, the ballots, which had been going on for the offices of Governor of the House of Correction and County Surveyor, were closed, and the numbers announced, when Mr. Chesterton was declared to be zhe successful candi date for the former office, and Mr. Moseley for the latter. The Court then adjourned. ELOPEMENT. A short time since, Mr. Hardy, surgeon, of Dron field, Derbyshire, eloped with the only daughter of the late Cecil, Esq., and taking the circuitous route of Dublin, arrived safely at Gretna-green, where the indissoluble knot was tied. The fugitives then returned to Sheffield to the house of Mr. Hardy's brother, who is also a disciple of Escula pins, and who is said to have been an accessory to their flight. Mrs. Cecil, the mother of the young lady, was, as may be supposed, highly exasperated against all the parties, and has since endeavoured to gratify her feelings by resorting to every means of annoying them in her power. She first charged Mr. Hardy, the husband, with a felony, for having taken away the clothes and jewels of the lady, as was men tioned in different newspapers at the time; but the Magistrate, before whom the charge was heard, dis missed it, on the ground that the articles had been given to her daughter by Mrs. Cecil. Thus disap pointed, she obtained a.habcas corpus, directed to the Messrs. Hardy, to bring the body of Clara Ceci lia Hardy before a judge; and they accordingly, on Monday last, obeyed the writ by producing the young lady before Mr. Justice Bayley, at his cham bers, when the Learned Judge, after examining her in private, restored her to the custody of her husband, and dismissed the case. Besides the habeas corpus, Mrs. Cecil had also obtained an order from the Master of the Rolls for the Messrs. Hardy and Mrs. Hardy to appear before him ; and in obe dience thereto the parties attended at the Rolls' Court on Tuesday, when his Honour, in order to save the trouble of procuring the necessary evidence from Scotland to lay before a Master, ordered that the parties should be married according to the law of England; and after the ceremony that the Master snould examine into the circumstances of the par ties, and report what settlement, if any, the husband should make upon the wife. Mr. Hardy, of Shef field, was relieved, by consent of Mrs. Cecil's coun sel, from being further a party in the cause.— Morning Paper. Men._ .. Women. Total.

From the statement published by the Synod, it appears that more than half die in infancy ; this circumstance may account for the general appearance of health and strength of those who survive, and likewise for the very few instances of deformity observed throughout Rus sia, for most of the sickly and deformed children are carried off either by the rigour of the climate, the inattention of the parents, and the want of proper medical assistance, or by the administra tion of baptism, which in the Greek church is performed by immersion, and that too in water of the ordinary temperature ; as therefore none but the strong and healthy children survive, it is not astonishing that there should be such extra ordinary instances of longevity, particularly in a country where the diet is so plain, and the air so pure and invigorating. According to the state ment of the Synod there have died between the ages of 90 and 100, 4,637, 100 and 110 745 110 120 .150 120 125 3l 125 130 l6 • 130 135 135 140 1 The following is a comparative statement of the murders, deaths by accidents, and suicides throughout the empire for the five years ending Dec. 31, 1828 : 1824. 1825. 1826. 1827. 1828.

It is supposed that 50 murders have been committed this win- ter in St. Petersburgh, and when a dead body is found which exhibits any marks of violence, it is usual for the police to send to every house in the town to enquire if any occupant is missing. The annexed statement of fires, inundations, &c. for the year 1828, may not be uninteresting, there were consumed by fire -32 Churches and Monasteries. 1,169 Houses in towns. 13,012 Houses in villages, &c. 65 Mills. 61 Distilleries and Manufactories. 11,000 Quarters of corn. 1,857 Tons of hay. It may be necessary to remark under this head, that by far the greater part of the houses in Russia are constructed of wood, indeed few, except in large towns, are built of any other material ; this may account for the number of fires. Insurance offices are now established at St. Petersburgh upon the English system, which is closely imitat ed, even in all the minor details, or in the size, decorations, and wording of the policies. It is calculated that more than 200,000 quar ters of corn have been destroyed by hail, inunda tions, and storms, which this year have been un usually destructive ; and amongst the losses sus tained by agriculture may be enumerated 110,000 head of cattle. In my statement of the population of St. Petersburgh, which I . had the pleasure of sending you a short time since, you will perceive that the aggregate amount of soldiery is enumerated at 56,000. I have reason to believe the garrison (properly so called) does not exceed 10,000 men, the rest is made up of sailors, invalids, police, and supernumeraries ; amongst the number are about 10,000 women, who I presume must be soldiers' wives, and consequently considered as forming a part of the military population of the capital. The usual garrison of St. Petersburgh during peace consists of 40,000; the splendid regiments, which were the admiration of every one in the early part of last year, have run their career of glory, and have been sacrificed to the ambition of their leaders; they in the language of Shakespear— " Have for a fantasy and trick of fame, Gone to their grave like beds, fought for a plat Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause." A friend, on whose word I can rely, saw them depart on their long and dreary march of 2,0(10 miles. He assured me that not the slightest feeling of enthusiasm was displayed on the occa sion ; all were silent and spiritless, and appeared to part with their friends with the gloomy antici pation that they would see them no more. I particularly admired what is now termed the tcnuc of the Russian guards. The cavalry is composed of a body of some of the finest formed men I eier saw, great attention is paid to the horses, which are all stud bred, spew much blood, and are but little inferior, if not equal, to the English. I was much struck with the Chevalier Guards. The uniform of this regiment is white, the cuirasses brass, and the helmets of the most classical form ; the horses arc all black. I saw several squadrons of this distinguished corps on the march, and assure Von they reminded me more of a body of knights proceeding to a tournament than a detachMent of modern dra goonsgoing to parade. The men in general are by no means remarkable for their size ; they would not, I should imagine, average more than ' , five feet nine or ten, but some few are of a gigantic stature ; two men in particular I re marked, who must have been at least seven feet high. It has been observed that the tallest men in the French service are fair, indicating a northern origin or a German extraction. • In Russia it is the reverse, the taller men arc gen rally from the south and consequently dark. Amongst the Foot Guards was a Finland regi ment ; the men were generally short ; some, I am sure, would not have passed muster in any English marching regiment. I must do the military system of Russia the justice to say, that no troops in the world can be more quiet and orderly ; the jealousy which exists between the military and common people in England is un known here, and riots never occur. Numerous as the sentinels are, every attention consistent with military discipline is paid to the feelings and convenience of the public. It is well :known that at night the French capital is guarded iiith as much vigilance as a besieged tbrtress ; the:: fearful cries of "passer an large," or" Qui vive on la mod," are still heard in every quarter of Paris, and the sentinel is instructed to look for a reply in due form, even from a foreigner who may be unable to give it. " They order these things better" in St. Petersburgh ; here is no danger of running inadvertently on a fixed bayo r net ; the sentinel, or watchman call out, it is true, but merely to convince you they are awake, and expect no reply in return. I have traversed St. Petersburgh at different hours of the night, and have never experienced any molestation whatever. I likewise much admire the way in which the crendarmerie, or mounted police, discharge their duty ; they attend (as in France) at all proces- , sions or fairs, in short, on all public occasions where a crowd is certain and disorder possible ; but their swords are not drawn ; they merely act as constables, and, I think, conduct themselves with more consideration and forbearance than are really due to such a " swinish multitude" as a Russian mob. This eulogium is really due to the subordinates ; of the principals I cannot say as much, for it must be confessed that the police establishment in Russia (to a stranger at least) is annoying in the extreme; a system of " es pionage" is kept up in every respect worthy of t'ouche's administration, and the revolutionaty days of France. A well known northern traveller was residing some time since at an hotel in St. Pc tersburgh, occupied in writing his travels for pub lication ; every precaution was taken, but yet the police received intelligence that he was writing something, and many inquiries were made as to the nature of the composition in which he was engaged; he certainly did not experience any material interruption during the prosecution of the work, but when he applied for his passport to return home, his departure was delayed by all the expedients that malice or ill-nature could sug gest. Foreigners are particularly annoyed, and if the slightest suspicion is attached to the cha • racter of the stranger, he is kept under the strictest surveillance; so strict indeed is the police, that a new billet of residence must be ob- rained every time a foreigner changes his lodg ings, in default of which " the offender " (these arc the words), N N ill incur the legal fine of two rubles for each day.

But am st ig from my subject, I intended i d s address a 'ie titi o e n this letter to. a military contribution, and as , such shall conclude with a slight sketch of the recruiting system in Russia. It is probably not generally known in England, that the conscrip tion in Russia is on an entirely different plan to what it is in other countries in Europe : when recruits are wanted for the army here, a levy is made upon the population at large ; there have been two of these demands lately, the first was I two out of 500, the second one out of 400, an assessment that would produce altogether about 350,000 men. According to the Russian system it appears that none but the peasantry arc 'liable to be drawn ; the peasants or serfs belong to the landholder by a feudal tenure, and are bought and sold with the estate ; the number of able bodied men on each estate is duly ascertained, and the proprietor must give up what the go verment demands; the landholder therefore is the loser, the peasant merely exchanges one state of slavery for another; those destined for the army must be strong and healthy men, in other respects the authorities never interfere, but leave the choice of individuals to .be settled between the master and his men. When the men are given up, one half of the hair is cut off close to the head, to ensure discovery in case of desertion ; they arc then marched to the depot ; here he is examined as to his corporeal qualifications, and if passed, must submit to the entire loss of his hair and beard, a loss above all others the most grating to his feelings ; he then undergoes a severe training, at the expiration of which he becomes . the most passive, the most obedient animal in the world, and though in a state of the most abject slavery, with a penny a day for his allowance, and the coarsest food for his support, he is taught to congratulate himself on his elcva- ton, and — to look with disdain on the class of in- dividuals with whom he was once numbered. Sixty young Jews have recently entered the army, and as they possessed a superior degree of intel ligence, were promised immediate promotion in case of their conversion to Christianity, the terms were acceded to, all were baptized, and are now gone to prove the sincerity of their faith by a crusade against the infidels.

NEGRO SLAVERY. (EXTRACT FROM THE ANTI-SLAVERY REPORTER FOR JUNE, 1829.) _ _ _ _ ‘. At one o'clock of the morning of the sth inst. in a veay thin House, Mr. Otway Cave moved the following Resolutions, which were negatived with out a division, and, indeed, without a debate, if we except some weighty preparatory observations of the Honourable Mover.")—(Here the Resolutions are given.) " We respect the motives which have influenced Mr. Otway Cave on this occasion. We must still, however, think the course he has puasued unfor tunate, and the time ill chosen. Who could ever have supposed it possible, that after a Session cf four months' duration, a motion of which formal notice had been given in the preceding session, a motion, too, of such vital importance, and big with so many vital interests, would at last have been shuffled into a corner; that at the unseasonable hour of one o'clock in the morning, on almost the last day of the session, when no rational bode could be entertained of a beneficial discussion or a favourable result, when the House had been nearly emptied, resolutions so momentous, and so sure to be opposed, should have been brought forward and attempted to be passed ? Such a coursa was hardly fair either to the friends or the opponents of our cause; and not even dream. ing that such a thing was within the verge of possi bility, almost every individual who felt an interest in the question had withdrawn; though, had they remained, they could only have used their influence to induce the mover to seltet a fitter time for his propositions, to which, independently of this circum stance, we ourselves could not but be favourable." —.4nti-Slavery Reporter. In reply to the above remarks (apparently intend ed a, excusatory of the conduct of what is called the Anti-slavery party in the House of Commons, on the occasion of their opposition to or extraordinary dereliction from the principle of the Resolutions proposed by Mr. Cave on the evening of the 4th of June,) it may not be inexpedient to point out some few of the inaccuracies and inadvertencies into which the writer of those remarks has fallen. That the Session was of four months' duration is true, but it is well known that the first part of it was wholly absorbed by the Catholic Question. The duration of the Session for other purposes, therefore, must be calculated for the 21st of Apiil (about nine weeks), and Mr. Cave brought on his motion three weeks before its termination. On the first of June, it will be seen by the published notices, that Mr. Cave gave notice for the 2d of June. On the 2d, at the request of a Member of the Govern ment, he postponed it to the 3d, and on the 3d his attempt to bring it on was objected to by the leaders of the Anti-Slavery party. In their presence it was again postponed to the 4th, with the understanding that it should then positively come on. Pursuant to this positive understanding, on Thurs day, the 4th instant, in a House for the time of the year and under the circumstances of the case, un usually full, Mr. Cave moved his resolutions, which were not negatived, until a division and a short de bate had taken place; in which Messrs. Huskisson, Wm. Smith, Lumley Saville, Sir George Murray, and Mr. Goulburn, took part. That it was hoped that the resolutions would be negatived without a division, is probable, as in that case the desertion of the cause by individuals would have escaped notice. But the Morning He rald, June gth, in alluding to Mr. Cave's motion, gives the following extract from the Journals of the House of Commons, which shows that the resolu tions were not negatived " without a division." " For the division the noes went forth. Mr. 0. Cave was appointed one of the tellers for the year, but no other Member remaining in the House to be a second teller for the year, the noes returned into I he House, and Mr. Speaker declared that the noes had it." So far from his motion having been " shuffled into a corner," every means have been taken, both pri vately and publicly, to ensure for it a sufficiency of Parliamentary attendance and support, as will appear from the subjoined statement of a member of the Anti-Slavery Committee, whose authority is unim peachable, and whose name is forthcoming if neces sary. " As early as February I brought forwar►l a mo tion. in the Asti-Slavery Committee the object of which was to secure the support of the Society and ;di its friends, both in and out of Parliament, to the principle involved in Mr. Cave's notice of motion. My proposition was, however, like Mr. C.'s, nega tived." It does certainly appear, that the leaders of the Anti-Slavery Committee, who rejected the above proposition, are bound to give tb.?.ir reasons for so doing to the great party in the country which they profess to represent. They will do well at the same time to explain why nothing had been done in Par liament this year, why the annual meeting which had been actually fixed for the 2d of May, was suddenly and mysteriously abandoned, and how it has hap pened that the facts connected with Mr. Cave's re solutions are thus strangely represented. That en the evening of the 4th, when the motion was actually made, the leaders of the Anti-Slavery party in the House could not possibly have been taken by surprise—as is clearly insinuated by the tcnour of the article in the Reporter,—may be seen by any one who will take the trouble to refer to any of the official documents of the Parliamentary pro ceedings of the day previous, or to the reports of the debates as given in the Mirror and public Newspapers. (From the Times, June 4. ) " Mr. 0. Cave rose (last night) for the purpose of bringing forward a proposition to declare that children born of slave parents in his Majesty's Co lonies, after a certain period, should be free. " Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, recommended the Hon. Member to with draw his motion under existing circumstances. " Mr. 0. Cave deel4red his determination to per severe. " The gallery was cleared for a division . , but none took place, as, on the suggestion of several Hon. Members, Mr. 0. Cave agreed to postpone his mo tion till to-morrow (this day), with the understand ing that it should then positively come on." Left as he was in ignorance of the motives by which the party were now actuated, Mr. Cave could not do otherwise than follow a former exhortation of its eloquent leader, Dlr. Brougham, who, in the debate upon Mr. Buxton's resolutions in the year 182.3, made use of the following forcible and memor able expressions on the subject. " It seems to me now to be the imperative duty of a legislature, to pass some act with r espect to the freedom of unborn children. We shall be wanting in our duty to that part of our fellow subjects, if we do no not immediately announce our intention of taking up that part of the subject. Difficulties doubtless will be to be encountered; difficulties there are in every change; but are they insurmouiit able ? I trust that no man will be stopped by them, who does not wish to be impeded." That Mr. Cave's motion was not made on " al most the last day of the session," will appear from the fact that Parliament was prorogued on the 21th of June, and that consequently an interval of about three weeks elapsed between the close of the Ses sion and the day on which Mr. Cave renewed his notice ; that half-past twelve was not an unusually Lae hour for proceeding with business is well known; and Mr. Cave was preventeit from bringing on his motion earlier by a long. 'and very unusual discussion, which was raised on a petition present ed by Mr. Brougham. But after what had passed the night before between Mr. Cave, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Buxton, and Sir J. Mackintosh, does the editor of the Anti-Slavery Reporter really mean to insinuate that if the hour had been earlier Mr. Cave's motion would have been supported ? Does the Editor mean to say that if Mr. Cave " had selected a fitter time," •' he himself could not be favourable" to the propo sitiwis, after what had passed months More in the Committee ? On the same evening, Mr. W. Hor ton went at length into the subject of his important motion respecting our surplus population. On the 2d Lord Blandfor4l brought on his important re solutions on Parliamentary reform, and on the Ist of June, Sir J. Mackintosh brought on his import ant motion respecting our relations with Portugal, when the House sat till a quarter before four o'clock in the morning. Yet, these gentlemen are not charged with unreasonable hours, or delaying their motions till almost the last day of the session. That the House was not " nearly empty," will also appear from the circumstance, that a majority of forty-five was still left in it to oppose the carry ing of the resolutions, exclusively of a considerable number of what is called the Anti-Slavery party, who had thought proper suddenly and simultane ously to leave their places, both on the coming on of the motion, and while the gallery was clearing for the division. It was impossible for Mr. Cave to know that his resolutions were " so sure to be opposed," because more than one member of the party alluded to, who either voted and canvassed against him, or went away as the division was taking place, had up to the very day on which he brought forward his proposi tion, repeatedly and unreservedly promised him countenance and support. Here then is a notice of a motion for the 2d—on the 2d it is postponed to the 3d—and the attempt to bring it forward on that evening gives rise to a discussion between Mr. 0. Cave, Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, which ends in an express understanding that this motion shall positively be made on the evening of the 4th ; and yet, suppressing all these facts, the Anti-Slavery Reporter informs his readers that on the evening of the 4th almost all those who felt an interest in the question had withdrawn, not even dreaming that such a thing as Mr. Cave's motion was within the verge of possibility ! ! Can any one believe that be fore those gentlemen withdrew, they did not look round and see Mr. Cave in his place, actually wait ing to make this undreamed-of motion ? Can any one suppose, after the understanding of the preceding evening, that they would not have taken the trouble to ask him whether from any cause he had changed his intention, if they had even entertained a doubt on the subject ? Is it possible that these gentle men should have gone away,not even dreaming that Mr. Cave's motion was within the verge of pos. sibility ? FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

[The Prussian State Gazette of the 18th July contains no further news from the theatre of war.] IRELAND. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. (From a Morning Paper.) DUBLIN, JULY 21.—The disturbances of the North still continue, but it is very difficult, among the conflicting accounts, to reach the truth. The following is an extract of a letter from Ar magh, July 18 : " The country continues dreadfully disturbed. General Thornton has been at Stewardstown (near Coal Island), and his prese►rce seems to have had some effect. But the hedge-firing, the Indian war fare, is still going on. The numbers actually killed are stated at various amounts. Some say .50. This is probably an exaggeration. The infantry have net -yet returned to Armagh, nor the artillery to Charlemont. The country all round is in a state of the most terrible alarm. Groups of people lined the roads, or were collected about the public houses, most of them armed. Never was there any thing like it, in this part of the world, since the rebellion of 1798.* The following account of the battle of Glenoe, near Coal Island, is the least confused I have seen " The Orangemen of Stewartstown and Killy more marched from Desacrcat towards Ardboe, where they had learned that one of their brethren had been killed. On their return home they passed by Glenoe, near the chapel of which place the Catholics had erected a green arch, which the Orangemen were determined to pull down. On arriving near the chapel they found it defended by a large body of Catholics, many of them armed. They would have retreated, but they advanced too far, and attempted to force the passage and de molish the arch. Four Orangemen were killed in their attempt to cross the bridge, and six or seven Catholics, besides a great number of wounded. The former, however, were better armed, and having a larger supply of ammunition, succeeded. They ef fected their retreat, and even brought away their wounded." The county of Down is in a state of equal agita- don, which agitation, I am sorry to say, has been much increased by the conduct of several of the clergymen of the Established Church, who chose the 12th instant as a proper opportunity to preach seditious and even treasonable sermons. At Inch, near Downpatrick, the clerg3 man inveighed against Popery, his MajEsty's Ministers, and particularly the Duke of Wellington, whom, I am told, he de scribed as plotting for the Crolvn, to place it on the head of his son, which son, according to the reverend preacher, was to marry a Princess of Eng land. He then launched out into a flaming pane gyric on tint truly Protestant Prince, the Duke of Cumberland. Protestants, he said, should take care of themselves; and the way to do so was to keep down the Papists. The religion of the latter was a most horrible superstition, and a curse to the coun try. While he was preaching, the son of another Protestant clergyman sat opposite, exhibiting a string of beads, mimicking the form of Roman Ca tholic worship, laughing occasionally at his own buf foonery, in which he was most heartily joined by the congregation. This gross and hideous farce occurred in a church belonging to the diocese of Dr. Mant. This Bishop is an Englishman. We shall soon see whether he has any power, for I can not for a moment doubt the will, of saving the places of public worship from sacrilege and ribaldry. Aughnacloy, in the same county, was still more agitated. From morning till night the streets were kept in one continued uproar, and numberless in sults were offered to the Catholics. The Orange men of Belfast have published a vote of thanks to the Magistrates of that town, thanking them for their assistance in arranging the procession on the 12th. I believe I mentioned to you in a former letter that the police assisted at the ceremony. The robbery of arms by the Orangemen is quite general in most of the northern counties, and it is said with the connivance of some of the Magistrates. Half-past two o'clock. P.S. A most afflicting and a most alarming ac count has reached me from Clare. I believe it may be depended upon. About 2,000 people, armed in all mariner of ways, proceeded yesterday to Miltown where the Assistant Barrister presided at a Court of Quarter Sessions. It was ejectment day, and many persons apprehended banishment from their holding 9. They drove the Barrister, the Court, and the police out of town. I have not time to say more. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1829. The French Papers have more interest than they have had for these few days past. The Illessag,cr des Chambres, in a letter from Ma drid, dated July 9, states, "it is affirmed in the highest circles that immediately after the KING'S marriage there will be a general amnesty, which will be applicable to all individuals implicated in political offences from 1808 up to the present time." The Conslitutionnel is filled with particulars and speculations respecting the conduct of the war in the East between the Turks and Russians. ft has an evident bias in favour of the latter, the difficulties of whose position at the opening of the campaign, together with the very superior local advantages of the Turks, it labours in every sentence to c:.:aggcrate. A single day ; it adds, changes the situation of the two armies. " The Turks have lost all con fidence by the dispersion of their best troops, and the fall of Silistria, which was the first con sequence of their defeat on June 11th, by per mitting General DIEBITSCII to occupy Ras grad, whence he keeps Shumla in check, and renders the speedy submission of Rudschuck, Giurgevo, zertain." The article, in the drawing up of which great and manifest pains have been taken, concludes with the opinion, that nothing can stop the passage of the Balkan, if it has been decided on at St. Petersburgh. There is some truth in this remark ; but, indeed, the whole article deserves attention, though, as we observed before, it has an evident bias in favour of the Russians. The Austrian Observer gives in detail parti culars of the arrival at Smyrna of the French and English Ambassadors on their road to Con stantinople. They were received with great re spect ; and Count GUILLEMINOT made pro mises of protection to, and interference in behalf of, the French merchants who have suffered by the confiscation of their property during the late troubles in the Mores, which greatly pleased the Deputies. The Courier de &Trite contains a proclamation issued by Mr. GORDON, in answer to two decrees of blockade put forth by the Greek Government, in which it is said " not only that the said blockades arc not recog nised by Great Britain at a moment when it is engaged in a negociation, the object of which is the pacification of Greece, but also that the most decided measures will be adopted by the Com mander-in-Chief of his Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean to prevent every interruption of the free trade of British subjects with either coast of that continent." The following arc extracts : NEWS FROM SMYRNA. VIENNA, JULY 12.—Mr. Robert Gordon, Ambas sador from Great Britain to the Porte, arrived at Smyrna on the 6th June, at two in the afternoon, on hoard the Revenge, and Count Guilleminot, the French Ambas sador, 24 hours later, on hoard the Breslaw. The two Ambassadors were saluted by all the ships of war lying at anchor in the Roads of Smyrna. The French Rear-Admiral Rosamel (who commands the French squadron in the Levant during the absence of Vice-Admiral de Rigny), arrived on the 7th on board the Trident; and Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcohn on board the Asia, at Vourla, on the 3d June. The English ships of the line Windsor Castle, Ocean, and Spartiate, seve ral frigates, and some smaller men-of-war, are also at an chor in that port. The Courier de Smyrne, of the 14th of Juue, contains the following account of what passed during the stay of the two Ambassadors in the road of Smyrna : The Kiaga Bey of Hassan Pacha, the G overnor of Smyrna (who had been officially informed by the port dragom an o f the General Consulate of the Netherland s , of the arrival of the two Ambassadors) , repaired on the 7th on board th e r espective ships in which they had arr i ve d, to compliment them in the name of the Vizier, wh o , a t th e same time, according to ancient custom, had sen t t h em presents of baskets of fruit and vegetables. The Kiaga Bey was received with great distinction by the Ambassa dors, and then waited on the Admirals, to whom similrr presents were offered. On the same day the English Admiral, attended by part of the officers of his squadron, paid a visit to Hassan Pacha, the Turkish Governor. A similar visit was paid him the next day by the French Admiral and his officers. Both Admirals were introduced to the Vizier by the Dutch Consul-General. Immediately after the arrival of Count Guilleminot) the Deputies of the French merchants called upon him, and requested him to give an audience on the following day to the corporation of the French mer chants. Accordingly on the Stb, at eleven in the morning:, all the French merchants assembled at the resi dence of the Dutch Consul-General, under whose protec tion they had hitherto been placed, and accompanied him on hoard the Breslau, when Count Guilliminot received the congratulations of the natives. Through the Consul- General, and the first Deputies of the Merchants, Count Guilleminot paid the most friendly attention to the re quests made to him by the merchants, and promised them all the protection necessary in the unpleasant situation in which they were placed by the events in the East. The Corporation then went on board the Trident to pay their respects to Admiral Rosamel, to whom the first Deputy expressed the gratitude of the French Merchants to the French Marine, for the attentive and constant protection which they had received from all the men of war of his most Christian Majesty in such critical times. _ _ On the 9th in 'the morning Mr. Gordon received the English Merchants at the Dutch Consul-General's, and promised them that one of his first endeavours, after his arrival from Constantinople, should be to enforce the payment of the claims of the British subjects on mer chandise and effects in the hands of the Greeks who fled at the breaking out of the Greek revolution, and which were at that time confiscated by the P,:rte as the property of re bellious subjects. This assurance was extremely agreeable to the merchants whose claims amount to large sums. It was no less welcome to the merchants of other nations who are almost all of them similarly situated, and hope that the united exertions of their Excellencies will obtain, if not the whole of their demands, at least a suitable indemnity fur claims, the Justice of which cannot be called in question. On the 9th, in the evening, Count Guilleminot ho noured with a visit the two deputies of the merchants, who consider this es a new proof of his Excellency's favour to the French merchants in the Levant, who are placed under his protection. The two Ambassadors sailed on the 10th, at day-break, on board their ships of the line, which were accompanied by many frigates and smaller ships of war of both nations. At Tenedss their Excellencies will leave the ships of the line, and go on board frigates to proceed through the Dar danelles to Constantinople.* M. Dawkins, English Resident at the seat of the G/ eek Government, has passed some days et Smyrna, and accompanied Mr. Gordon to Tenedos, whenca he will pro bably return to Egina. The Courrier de Smyrne contains also the following article : " As the publication of the two decrees of blockade issued by the Greek Gover nment, in our paper, took place in consequence of a communication of M. J. Van Lennep, Consul-General of the Netherlands in this city, who bad received them officially from the Provisional French Charge d'Affaires at Egina; for this reason Mr. Gordon, Atnhassadsr of GI eat Britain to the Sublime Porte, fearing that this Notification, provided with the authority of the officer, to whom the protection of the British interests at Smyrna was at that time confided, might mislead the Eng lish merchants with respect to the light in which the Bri- tish Government considers the said blockade, was pleased, before he sat out for the capital of Turkey, to authorise M. Van Lennep to make the following communication to the English merchants : " The Greek Government having issued two Decrees, one of which referring to the blockade of the coasts of At tica, Negropont, and Volo, proclaims the extension of this blockade to the gulf of Kissaros, and the other relates to the blockade of the coasts of Western Greece ; " Notice is hereby given to the English merchants in this City, not only that the said blockades are not recog nised by Great Britain at a moment when it is engaged in a negociation, the object of which is the pacification of Greece, but also that the most decided measures will he adopted by the Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's fleet in the slediterranean to prevent every interruption of the free trade of British subjects with either coast of that con- tinent. " It seems unnecessary to add that the raisin , ' of the blockade of the ports of Candia is included in the above notice. The il!egality of that blockake is in fact as clear as day, since the allied Powers are agreed that Candia can in no case make part of the future Greek State." All the Consuls and Vice- Consuls of England and France, in the several ports of the Ottoman Empire, have received orders to repair to their respective posts with as little delay as possible. This news, adds the Courier de Smyrw: has, been received by the merchants with the greatest joy. Where they arrived on the 18th, and were received with great joy.—Austrian Observer. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a long and animated letter to the Electors of Clare, in which he exhorts them to be ready to come forward and support him on the 30th—the day fixed for his election. In this letter Mr. O'CONNELL goes over the old ground : he avows himself more decidedly than ever, a party man, or to quote his own terms, " the partizan of the people," who, he declares, have never yet been repre sented in Parliament; and proclaims his resolu- Lion to enter St. Stephens as the unflinch ing, uncompromising supporter of their rights and privileges. The plain English of this— coupled with his late political declaration at the Crown and Anchor Tavern—is, that he means to start as an Ultra Reformer. In the prosecution of these extreme opinions, he will, we suspect, encounter more formidable difficulties than he is at present aware of. The season of Ultra Reform is gone by. From par ticular circumstances, it was not wholly unpo pular at one period in England, but that period has past, and we trust, for ever. The country just now stands in no need of any levelling or Radical Reforms. What it wants is a whole some and gradual change in its system of repre sentation a change that may serve to strengthen and improve, not to pull down or remodel, the present fabric of the Constitution. Radical Reform is but Revolution in a masquerade habit, and this, thank God ! we can dispense with. Of the remaining portions of Mr. O'CoN NELL'S address, we can speak in more favour able terms. He impresses on the electors of Clare the necessity of strict obedience to the law ; h e conjures them to abstain from the use of spi• r r i liquors; to assi s t hi m as much by their tranquil demeanour as by th e i r votes ; and, above all, to remember that Catholi c E manc i pat i on wa s a necessary conseque nce resu l t i ng from the extraordinary union and tranquillity of the Irish Catholics. The letters from Naples of the Ist inst. infortn us that the Commission for the Redemption of the Public Debt had, on the preceding day, re-' deemed 603,973 ducats. b e Dutch and Hamburg Papers state, that it is reported at Elsinore that a Russian fleet is . . daily expected from Cr onsta d t, w hi c h i s b oun d ; to the Mediterranean. Th ey a dd t h at, accord-. ing to the accounts received from all parts of Sweden, an almost total failure of the crop is to be found there. 'The accounts from Leipzic state that the late fair had proved very favourable, the merchandize disposed of having been very considerable: This was caused by the franchise of Venice and the demand for the Levant. Advices from Cuba furnish us with a state ment of the commerce of that place for the last year, by which it appears that the imports were 97,674,615 francs, and the exports 65,571,815, of which 4,931,820 francs were in gold and silver. The imports had been made in 1,889 vessels, of which 279 were Spanish, 990 Ame rican, and 175 English, and the remainder of various nations. The: arrivals and sailings ex ceeded last year by 85. The imports from Eng land were 8,850,425 francs, and the exports were 8,059,100 francs. The American imports were 32,995,480, and the exports 15,884,820. The import duties to the customs equalled 20,972,475, and the export duties 5,573,205. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. The Account day has passed, and this day is taken up in paying and receiving differences. Only one defalcation, and that scarcely worth noticing, took place; but it is yet to be seen whether the cheques will all be duly honoured. Consols maintained their price, and opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 898 buyers, dividend, for the Account, and 8911 for money. We are credibly informed that the invasion of Mexico by the Spaniards, from the Havannah, will certainly take place, and that the Proclamation of the Spanish Government is positively in town, to be issued on the landing of the expedition. The mission of Count Ofalia to this country, and that of France, positively related to the above expedition, to obtain the consent of our Government and that of France. Boston Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house one day later, to the 2d July. The schooner Ilannah arrived at Philadelphia, from Cape Mesurado (Africa). On the sth April, off Grand Drewin, two canoes came off, having a white man with them, whom they wished to sell ; but they demanded an exorbitant price for his ran som.- Possession was taken of the canoes, and the white man rescued. His name was Samuel Goslin, of London : he belonged to the British schooner Lydia, from London to Cape Coast. On the 22d March, while trading en the coast, the Captain himself and another were knocked overboard by the natives, the Captain mas drowned, and himself and another person taken prisoners, The rest of the crew succeeded in making their escape with the schooner. The Hamburg Papers state that couriers arrive daily from the theatre of war ; their despatches do not transpire. It was generally stated that since the battle of Koulertscha considerable reinforce ments have arrived at Shumla. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet, and the prices nominal as yesterday.

A Paris Paper received this morning by the Mail states, that a sale of the effects of Marshal Hohen lolie took place, and amongst the effects which was put up fur auction appeared a handsome portrait of Don Miguel, a present to the pious Marshal by that Prince ; this precious portrait was put wp at five francs, and was on the eve of being bought in, when a person of great character ventured to add 20 sous, and was immediately declared the fortunate purchaser.

There will be found in our City article an account of the manner in which the Russian General at tempted to open pacific negociations with the GRAND VIZIER, after the recent successes of the Russian arms...— The narrative is probably true. The Russian is kind, and condescending, as became the conqueror; the Turk as surly, as was proper for the conquered. But accounts from Constantinople are calculated to inspire stronger hopes of an amicable adjustment than the narrative of the pro ceedings in the VIZIER'S camp. The accounts to which we allude were received yesterday from the Turkish capi tal, and relate to the arrival and reception of our Ambas sador, the Hon. R. GORDON. He landed on the night 01 the I Sth June, from the Blonde, as did Count GUILLENII NOT from the French frigate Arniide. Their arrival excited an extraordinary degree of interest, and particular attention was paid by the Turkish authorities to Mr. GoitnoN.— Immediately after his arrival had been officially announced by the Secretary of the English embassy, on the 22d, he was waited upon by the principal Dragoman of the Porte, who was preceded by sixty servants bearing presents of fruits, flowers, and confectionery. This number of sixty servants was considered a particular distinction, as the number always sent to wait on an Ambassador on similar occasions is only forty-eight. It was also re marked that the vases and dishes were infinitely richer and more elegant than usual. On the 24th the Secretary of the Reis Effendi delivered to him three horses as a pre sent from the Sublime Porte, and at the same time a snuff. box, set with diamonds. The l , ox is of Turkish manufac ture, and such a present is quite uncommon. It was ax pected that in the course of a few days Mr. GORDON would, after being introduced to the Caima, have an au dience of • the SULTAN. These distinctions, and the marked respect which is paid to Mr. GoanoN, have re virtd in Constantinople a very natural hope that the Porte is at last disposed to listen to apacific arrangement....

IN THE MATTER OF STEERS, A LUNATIC. The SOLICITOR GENERAL stated on a petition, that the testator, who made a will in this case in the year 1800, died in seven years afterwards. BY the will lie appointed two trustees, who were to pay to his widow an annuity of 1501. a year. The two trustees were also the executors. For the last twenty-two years this annuity had been regularly paid. One of the trustees was dead, and the other had now become a lunatic. The present appli• cation was, to have as order for the appointment of a new trustee in the room of the lunatic, who would continue to pay the annuity. There was no evidence that the legacies er debts of the testator were paid, nor could any affidavit on the point be made. After considerable hesitation, The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that had this ap plication been tnade within two or three years of the death of the testator, he should have referred it to the Master to ascertain whether the debts, &c. had been paid ; but considering the lapse of time, and the smallness of the legacies, (only amounting in the whole to 5001. or 6001.), he would risk 8 proceeding, upon the assumptiOn that all had been paid, and make the order without incurring the ex pence, &c. of sending the parties before the Master. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. WEST V. FOLKS. This was a petition to confirm the Master's re- port. Mr. KNIGHT said lie was instructed, on behalf of Miss Folks, to oppose it. The circumstances of the case are as follows Angust, 1828, Sir Edward West, Chief Justice of Bombay, died, and in the October following his lady followed him to the grave, leaving an only child, a daughter about nine years of age. Sir Edward, at the time of his death, was possessed of property to the amount of 30,0001., the whole of which he bequeathed to his daughter, and appointed Mr. West, Sir Wm. Folks, and Miss Folks, guardians, who not agreeing,between themselves who was to have the superintendance of the infant's education, made an application. to this Court, and it was referred to the. Master. The Master reported that Mr. \Veit and his wife, Lads Maria West, were fit and proper persons to be ap pointed. This report was objected to by Miss Folks (sister to the late Lady West), on the ground that it was the particular desire of her sister that the 4 - Ant's education should be under her wholeand sole command. This was her request, as appeared by several letters long before her death, and it was also her dying injunction.. The Learned - Counsel therefore contended the Master's report ought not to be confirmed, as the Court were bound to pay atten tion and respect to the wishes of the deceased parents. and act as near as possible in accordance with these wishes. 'phis was the opinion always expressed ,by Lord Eldon, who had declared he would in all cases comply with the wish of a parent, unless very strong and cogent reasons were adduced why he should not. Sir GEORGE GREY followed on the same side ;, he trusted the Court would never make an order which would frustrate the fondest and dying hopes of an affectionate parent. It was clear from the letters that the mother of t his infant, when she expressed is wish for her daughter's education to be,„Mider the care: of Miss Folks, was also speaking the wishes of her husband (to prove which the Learned Coun sel read several extracts from her letters 'to Mi..o F.) Ile therefore trusted the Court would order the master to review his report. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, do you, Mr. Soli citor, appear to confirm the Master's , report ? . SOLICITOR- G ENERAL — Y es, your Honour. The VICE-CIIINCELLOR—Then I will not trouble you. Iha ve read and well considered the whole of the evidence, and my deliberate opinion is that the Master has come to a right and proper decision. The Court always entertains the most profound re gard for the wishes of a deceased parent, but it wag not absolutely bound in appointing guardians to be guided by those wishes. It had a duty of its own to exercise in such cases. After looking minutely into all the circumstances, I am of opinion it would not be to the advantage of the child that her edu cation should be placed under the superintendance and controul of a young lady. Sir GEORGI GREY—Tire lady is not young your llonour, her age is 45. The VICE-CRANCELLOR—WeII, never mind her age, she is unmarried, and does not appear to have any fixed residence, and I should think knows but little of the management of children. speak %% ith the feelings of a father when I say it is my opinion that it will be to the advantage of this child to mix with and be educated with other children. It appears that Lacly --- iria West has four children, and it is not for a moment attempted to be denied, but what she is in every respect qualified for the trust. The affidavit of Lady Arden was sufficient on that point. 'lt certainly see►ned from the letters of Sir Edward and Lady West they wished Miss Folks to have, in case of their death, the superintendance of their child's edu cation. This could only be from a desire for her welfare. I wish to pay the greatest attention to their wishes, but lam of opinion the Court has a betteropportunity of judging what would be most to the infant's ad vantage, and am decidedly of opinion a single lady is not the most proper person to be entrusted with it. There appears to be the greatest harmony in the two families, and I hope it may continue to be cherished, and that the child will be taught to vene rate the high character of the departed father. The Mas►er's report must be confirmed. SOLICITOR GENERAL—I feel called upon to state that the character of Miss Folks is of the highest description, and the greatest harmony exists between the parties, which I am sure will be increased by your Honour's decision. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. S t Jul IVII Ito TRIAL OF SUSANNAH SCOTT FOR PERJURY.--THS KING V. SCOTT. on, This was an indictment against Susannah Scott For wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Common Serjeant PENMAN requested that all the witnesses should be ordered out of Court, wl ich being done, Mr. PLATT stated the indictment to the Juiy. Mr. ATTORNEY.GENERAL then stated the case to the Jury. The defendant, he observed, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, arising from transac tions which had unfortunately already occupied too much of the public attention. After a few more preliminary observations, the Learned Counsel then proceeeded to state that this proceeding arose en tirely out of the part which Mr. Wellesley took in the case of Wellesley v. the Duke of Beau'. fort, in which he contended for his right to the control of his children. The public press had fully reported the transactions relating to the cause, and he regretted that it produced so great an 'in terest in the public mind, as it showed in his opinion a depraved taste. • Without any further preliminary observations he would relate the facts of this ex. traorditiary case. At the latter end of the year 1827, Mr. Wellesley received several anonymous letters from Paris, of which he took no notice. One, however, arrived bearing a name and address, and to that lie sent an answer. A reply was sent to his letter, stating that Mr. Pedley was willing to bring over Susannah Scott, the defendant, to state roc ab~ the circumstances which had induced her to sweat -0 certain affidavit against Mr. Wellesley which she had sworn in the above cause. Mr. Wellesley next heard that Mrs. Scott was in England, and wished to see him. lie had no inclination to see - her, and for private reasons did not wish any of his household to see her, except one, whom he directed to spew her - . into a Titivate room, where she was detained. She had arrived with Mr. Pedley ni Baker-street, in 1828. Mr. Wellesley was then confined. to his bet' from illness, and was unable to see her and Mx• Pedley, who were shewn into the .dining-roorot and strictly guarded, to prevent .any of the domestics having any communication with bea'• They waited fur some time, but `lr.

Mrs Scott then told Mr. Powell several facts, whirl. , f "aid have enabled the prosecutor, Mr. Wellesley. t to have repelled all the attacks on his character.-- r she said that she had been connected with a persot I h eed Nixon, c l er k to Mr. Hutchinson, who war , 'Limn attorney t o the Misses Long. ' She also said that she bad been induced by money and other mea ns to ': the swear the affidavit' which she had Wellesley, in the suit pending in , again s t Mr. Court of Ch ancery. Sh e h a d b een i n d uce d to ; .. she in correctly by the persuasion of Nixon. Mr. p rowell was not, however, contented with having th ose fact s merely stated before himself, but he , . ';'ished h er to make the same statement before 1 Ir. Whitelock an d ot h er persons . Sh e did so, ~ T' f t ." (1 then entered into a more serious detail of the his whi c h s h e had before stated to Mr. Powell. „fie Learned Counsel would not now enter nue tnose details, because they were exceedingly dis gusting. When thi s d eta il was fi n i s h e d, Mr. Powell t h -ed Mrs. Scott if she thought that the persons at cr e inns where she went to with Nixon would iden- L 7 h er ? She said that she believed they would,and I;" e red to accompany any person whom Nixon would l'kPllnint to ascertain that fact. She said that Nixon ita peculiar mark, by which any person seeing In would soon identify him again. An arrange / int was then made, and • Mr. Powell appointed i n r • Wickham to go with her. They went to an Pi t ,' at Leatherhead, in Surrey, to Henley-upon ti,":_t",e% to Dartmouth, and to Oxford, to find the 1 „ 'noes-maid who had left Henley. She was idea ) , n ed at all these places. Mr. Wellesley would not 'ln " elf take any share in these proceedings, and 1310 nel curio Paterson directed the whole of them. A clean us circumstance occurred on the road, which ~ it Y identified Nixon as having accompanied Mrs. vett, who passed as his wife. On passing through , nip l lingfo r d their gig broke down. A Mr. Clark, a O ler, forwarded them to their destination in his Ile' gig, and was then invited to dine with him. 4 ,cepted the invitation, and when they had i t : ° ,'"ed their repast, Nixon gave Mr. C'ark his card, afterwards him to visit him in London. Mrs. Scott ` k rw ards advised Nixon to recover it from Clark, 4 1:e would then discover that Nixon was a single e l "; arid that she was not his wife. Nixon then . told °a that he was about leaving his then lodgings, and referred him to Messrs. Hutchinson, his employers, gr back bis card. This was an important fact, and I t - h entl Y Proved that Nixon was the man who was I '!" With her. After she had been to those places with 111 r. Pedley and Mr. Wickham to be identified r s t he per son who had slept there with Nixon, and ec eived from Colonel Paterson a sufficient recom- P!ace for her trouble, Mr. Pedley demanded 1001. .sor s „ , Colonel Paterson then refused to assent to e " a demand, and Mr. Pedley then persuaded Mrs. 11 04 # k -(1 go out of the way, and she disappeared:— I r• Wellesley then suspected that some conspiracy al been formed against him, to involve him still ' . ,, u rtiler in di ffi culties. He heard no more of Mrs. 'cott t i ll brou - t he trial of byt."t to recover the expences of visiting e different places where she had gone to a identified. At that trial she appeared S a witness on the part of Pedley t o re their their expences.

She also swore at the trial t hat she did not know what the action was brought t ° recover. It might be asked why she was not ' e :"nradicted. He begged to info r m th e J ury l ' e law of evidence did not all ow a d e f en d ant to frc've he r an i n f amous woman, w h en she had sworn 10 particular facts. She had done so.

At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the Lords of his Majesty's Most Hon. PI ivy Council assembled in the Privy Council-chamber, Whitehall, to hear appeals. Those present were Lord WYNFORD, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Right Hon. HUGH ELLIOT. The case (ex parte) "Roney v. Cooper," from the Isle of Man, was dispo.ed of by their Lordships. The remaining appeal on their Lordships' list,—viz., that of " Sayers v. Whit field" (from St. Vincent's), was entered into. Mr. HORNE opened the case on the part of the appellants, and was fol lowed by Mr. GaanArr. The latter gentleman having concluded his address at three o'clock, Mr. WHITFIELD, who is himself one of the respondents, was heard in reply. The cause is very complicated, the appellants pleading no less than twelve distinct appeals, some of them arising from a former decree of the Lords of the Privy Council. One of the main points at issue is, whether the phintiffs had or had not received the amount of their claims on two valu able estates in the island of St. Vincent, during the time they remained in their possession. By one of the most re cent decisions, the balance to the appellants is adjudged to he between 13,0001. and 14,0001., on payment of which possession was to be given to the respondents. In answer to a question from Lord IVYNFORD, as to whether this sum had been tendered, Mr. WHITFIELD stated that the money would be paid as soon as the appellants had proved by vouchers that such a balance was due to them. At four o'clock the Court adjourned, the further bearing of the case being postponed till some day next week.

A strong canvass is going on among the cor poration for the office of Coroner of London and South wark, to which it is now rumoured a permanent salary will be attvched. One of the hut new candidates is Mr. PAYNE, the sitting clerk to the sitting Alderman at Guildhall. At the audit of RICHARD ARKWRIGHT, Esq., of Wellersby Castle, Derbyshire, for his Skerne estates, in Yorkshire, held in Beverley on the 14th inst., that gentleman directed one-third of the tenants' rents to be respectively returned to them.— York Courant. READING.—A great proportio❑ of the soil and buildings of the borough of Reading are the property of Colonel BLicaovE, a gentleman of large estate, residing at Calcott Park, in the immediate neighbourhood. It had been the custom for the Colonel's father to let his property on leases, renewable on paying a small fine ; and so per fectly safe was this tenure considered to be, that, even within the last few months, several elegant first-rate houses have been erected on the mere faith of the custom, and the honourable treatment which the lessees have uni formly experienced. Within the last few weeks, however, great consternation has prevailed in the town, in conse quence of an intimation that no renewal of leases will be permitted ; and the state of mind of those who have been building, and are building, may be much better guessed at than described. It is supposed that this measure will make a very great increase in the gallant Colonel's income; but the " agitation" of the town has not had a parallel for the last twenty years,—Morniny Paper.

Fine Wheat being scarce slowly obtains Monday's prices, other qualities are cheaper. Barley is unalterel Beans and Pease remain as last reported.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--There continues to be a steady although limited business doing in this market, and it ap pears heavy, but nevertheless no material reduction in the quotations can he noticed ; the arrivals continue to be rather extensive; of Mauritius large parcels are still brought for ward by public sale, which in a great measure tend to check any extensive business being done in West India Sugars; on Friday last 7,318 bags were offered, and being of a low and inlerirr quality, went off at full Is. under the last sale prices; on Tuesday 6,204 bags more were brought forward, when the brown and grey descriptions sold freely at full prices, but the yellow and good grocery qualities Is. to 2s. lower than was obtained for the kit par- . cel of similar quality that was offered. FOREIGN SUGARS.—By private contract there does not appear to have been any thing done this week ; and the only thing brought forward by public sale has been some yellow and white Havannahs, damaged, and a small parcel of soft Pernams, which went off without much animation. REFINED SUGARS.—Tbere is very little business doing in any descriptions this week, and low goods have become rather more plentiful, and can be bought upon a shade lower terms. In crashed, although there are a few offers making, there does not appear to have been much done, and the Grocers continue to buy only small parcels to supply their present demand. COFFEE.—The public sales this week have been nume rous and extensive, but have consisted principally of Jamaica, which has gone off rather freely, as the greater part of the quantity offered has been disposed of ; some lots of the middling sorts, however, to-day did not maintain the prices obtained at the beginning of the week, but upon the whole, no material alteration in the prices of Plantation can be made. Of St. Domingo several parcels have been offered, but this description at present does not appear to be in demand, and the prices obtained to-day were ls. to 2s. per cwt. lower than the last quotations for good and fine ordinary quality, viz.-325. a 33a. 6d. Altogether 1,146 casks and 146 bags Plantation and 1,559 bags Foreign have been brought forward. . _ _ Rust.—The market Is more firm, but the extensive stock prevents any considerable advance. Prices are the same as last quoted. SALTPETRE.—By public sales yesterday afternoon about 600 bags of Saltpetce went off from 21s. 6d. to 255. per cwt. The market is steady. HOPS.—This morning's accounts are more favourable from Mid Kent; but not Sussex and Worcester; they are worse. The duty is called 38,0001. Prices firm, but little doing. INDIco,--Since the Company's sale terminated, some few parcels, shipping qualities, have changed hands, but the demand is comparatively slack. COTTON.—The extensive sales of Cotton to take place in the course of this day, by the East India Company old private holders, engrosses all the attention of the trade. OlLS.—There is not much doing, but former prices are maintained. SPICES.—The business doing is limited. About 400 bags of Pimento, offered yesterday, realized sid. to Sid. per lb. for fair plantation, and 4s. to 4s. Bd. for foreign Pimento. TALLOW maintains its late advance, but as the stock may soon be expected to increase rapidly, more than 30,000 casks being shipped off at St. Petershurgh at the date of the last accounts, speculators are not very anxious to purchase largely. The importations of Russian pro duce this season, of all descriptions of goods, are expected to be very large. MARGATE, JULY 23. Arrived this morning, at two o'clock, from Ostend, his Majesty's steam-packet Fury, Captain Sherlock, with the Flanders mail and despatches from Sir Charles Bagot, the British Ambassador at the Court of Brussels. The number of passengers was about 20, who, owing to the high surf upon the Bar at Ostend, could not embark in boats. The packet consequently did not leave the harbour until four o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday. We are happy to hear that orders have been sent by the Government of the Netherlands to the postma,ter at Ostend, to despatch the mail on board in future at nine o'clock, instead of its being detained till eleven as heretofore. This improvement will in most cases rave a day's post, and enable passengers to arrive in London in sufficient time to take ample rest before the hours of business. Indeed, we apprehend that the peculiar advantages of Margate for communicat ing with Ostend and other pails of the Continent are not yet sufficiently known. When the public become better acquainted with them, they will not fail to appreciate the pleasures of a trip to Ostend, en j oy i n g cheap and easy travelling, with good ac commodation at Margate, and a six hours' passage in the steam-boat. 'I he only wonder now is, that the public and the Government should have so long overlooked a matter of such first-rate importance. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

Yesterday the sixth annual prize wherry, given by Mr. Kean, the Tragedian, to the watermen on the river Thames, was rowed for by seven pair of oars. Upon no previous occasion do we remember seeing so many persons collected to witness a similar trial of strength and skill. The competitors were impartially taken by ballot from the general body of Thames watermen. The following were their names, stairs, and colours David Eld Old Swan Charles Campbell Lambeth George Wild Lambeth Thomas Yoking Hungerford James Braithwaite Hungerford John Poett Bankside William Windsor Westminster William Noulton Lambeth Henry Jones • Vauxhall Robert Evans Whitehall ....... Thoma:s Dolwin Horseferry ....... Thomas Dodd Hungerford Edward 8rumme11...... Old Swan George Galloway Vauxhall Scarlet Purple White Light Blue Pink Green Yellow. The second boat was to receive 101., and the third boat 5/. The terms of the match were, that the boats should start from Westminster-bridge, row round a boat moored off Lawn Cottage, Battersea, and down to the Red House. The three first boats of the first heat to be entitled to row for the grand or final heat. The terms of the second heat were, to start from the buoys off the Red House, row round a boat moored near Lawn Cottage, return down the Surrey shore, through the centre arch of Vauxhall-bridge, and back to the prize wherry off the Red House. Soon after four o'clock, Mr. Barrymore appeared in the starting boat (a cutt'r, and the rcwess att red in scarlet), with Mr. White, the British Insuraaes Company's en gineer, who had the arrangements of the match. In the starting boat was placed a flag astern, with Kean's crest upon it—the Boar's Head, and also a very appro priate motto—" Sic itur ad astra." The prize wherry, a very neat and trim built boat, was exhibited near the place of starting. The odds were 2 to I in favour of Scarlet, before start ing. in fact Campbell and his partner were booked to win. Campbell is a very powerful man, and he has not won less than four prizes within the last month. The signal gun having been fired, the boats were off in an instant with extraordinary swiftness. Scarlet got the centre of the river, and had a. full tide in his favour ; he kept two boats' lengths a-head of the other boats till he passed the Red House, and then gained a still further dis tance, and passed round the boat off Lawn Cottage. On the boats returning to the Red House, Scarlet was first about six boats' length of Yellow, and Green third. Sacortn HEAT,LScarlet, Yellow, and Green, at eight o'clock, started for the second beat. Scarlet, after a short struggle with Yellow, again took the lead, and kept it the whole distance, and came in at least 200 yards a-head of Green ; and Yellow was last. The boat and other prizes were given up to the winners the same night. CLARENCE YACHT CLUB. SECOND GRAND SAILING DIATCH THIS SEASON, WEDNES- DAY, AUG. 5.

COVENT-CARDEN Tit EATRE.--Yesterday Mr. Corder, the vestry-clerk of St. Paul's, Covent garden, appeared at thii office on the following sultject : He stated that no less than 1,1261. were due by the proprietors of Covent-garden theatre to the parish of St. Paul's for parochial ra►es, from which the poor rates amounted to 201. In consideration of the difficulties in Which the theatre was involved, more time than was ever usual was allowed to the proprietors ; but they had still abstained from pay ing any of the sum. A summons had accordingly been issued against them, on Saturday, to attend to day and show cause; but they had disregarded it. He, therefore, now applied for a distress warrant, grounded upon that summons. Sir R..ButmE said that they were certainly justi fied in following that course; but, in his opinion, he thought they would show more clemency if they forbore till they had seen the effects of a second summons. Mr. Corder said he was perfectly agreeable, and a second summons was accordingly issued. LAMBETH-STREET. - • IKEY SOLOMONs.—On the 10th inst. a paragraph appeared in this and several other evening papers, detailing the particulars of the apprehension of Ikey Solomons, a person of no small celebrity, at Hobart- town, Van Dieman's Land. Its correctness was subsequently questioned, and its accuracy impugned, by some Sunday papers, one of which went even the length of characterizing the narrative as a posi tive, though ingenious fabrication, unfounded in truth, and unsupported by even the shadow of truth. Since then the reporter, in justice to his own cha racter, requested his informant to verify the details on oath, and appear before the Magistrates at this office for that purpose. This he readily accededto, and on Wednesday last he came prepared with an affidavit, which was handed to Mr. WYATT, re questing that he might be sworn to its truth. The affidavit was as follows : " Middlesex to wit,—David Woolfe, of No. 9, Rose -street, King-street, Covent-garden, in the county of Middlesex, general dealer, maketh oath and saith, that he this deponent has heard read an article in the public journals, of the 10th July instant, des cribing the capture of Isaac Solomons; and this de ponent further saith that to his knowledge the same is in such public journals truly and faithfully set forth, he, this deponent, having been at the time the said Isaac Solomons was captured, at his store or shop, situate in Macquarrie-street, Hobart-town. The mark of David Woolfe. " Sworn at the Police-office, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, this 22d (lay of July, 1829. " Before me, Mr. WYATT, having carefully looked over the do cument, said that although it might not be perfectly regular, he would permit the applicant to swear to it. This, however, at the same time, he must tell him, that it was one of such a description and nature as could not hereafter legally be acted on. The Reporter—lt is not with the intention, Sir, of its being made a legal instrument that it is offered to you ; it is solely for the purpose of confuting a contradiction broached in some papers to an article which I furnished, describing the capture of lkey Solomons, the matter of which I received from the applicant Woolfe. My veracity has been called in question, and I am anxious, as far as is in my power, to lay satisfactory proof before the editor that I am guiltless of the fabrication imputed to me. Mr. WYATT here handed the affidavit to Mr. WALKER, who, after also having examined it, said that he had the strongest oljection to the recep- ;ion of voluntary °tali's, and especially when lie thought, as in this instance, they might be dispensed with. The parties taking such oaths were not liable to any legal punishment, and therefore in a moral point of view the practice was calculated to lessen the sense of the sacredness and solemnity of the obligation of an oath. For these reasons gene rally, and not that he had any particular objection to the application made to him, he would rather de cline receiving the applicant's affidavit, and he did so with the less reluctance, as his declaration and willingness to subscribe to the truth of its contents would probably answer all the purposes which were sought to be accomplished. The Reporter admitted the force of the Learned Magistrate's observations, but at the same time urged, that if the affidavit was sworn to, it would be much more satisfactory to those gentlemen and the public, in whose opinions he wished to stand cor rect. At his solicitation, Woolfe was here called in and questioned. He was asked if the affidavit had been read over to him, and if its contents were true. He replied in the affirmative, and said that they certainly were. He had not known, he said, Ikey Solomons in this country, nor had he ever seen him until the day on which he was apprehend. ed at his shop in Hobart-town, on which occasion he (Woolfe) happened to be present. He, how ever, knew both of his sons, who were fellow passengers with him on their voyage from Sydney to Hobart-town, and one bf them told him that his father Ikey lived, and kept a store, at the latter place, and solicited him to call, and bring as many of the ship's company in which he was to return to England in, as he could prevsil on to deal with him. He did so, and it was while purchasing some articles that the constables came into his shop and appre hended Ikey. The Magistrates turned to the Reporter, and said that they thought that this full and ample declara tion ought to satisfy him 1 - and the Rev. Mr. Matthias, who was on the Bench, observed, that he could not possibly see what motive Woolfe could have in view by fabricating such a tale, for, if false, it must shortly be discovered. Woolfe reiterated his assertion that the account was true, and again offered to swear to it; but this the Reporter, the Bench appearing al erne, did riot press for, and the former left the office, expressing his willingness, if hereafter thought necessary, to come forward at the shortest notice. In addition to the above, we can state on the best authority, that orders were several months since sent out to Hobart-town by Government for the appre hension of Solomons ; and that when he first landed in the colony he took up his quarters at Mr. New man's, the chief officer Of police, in whose family his wife then was living as a domestic. ➢t A RLBO RO U OH-STREET. Yesterday Count Sacchi, an Italian Nobleman, was charged with having assaulted and seduced a young female, named Jane Smith, under aggravated circumstances. The complainant, an innocent-look ing girl, not more thon seventeen years of age, stated, that during four months she lived opposite to the defendant's lodgings, in Princes-street, Lei cester-square, when an acquaintance arose between them, and he professed the most unbounded attach ment for her. He at length persuaded her to leave her situation, and accede to his wishes, by declaring that he was in treaty for a house in Regent-street, in which he would establish her, ;and they would afterwards travel to his estates in Italy. She unfor tunately believed his professions, as he solemnly pro tested he would never forsake her. Instead of act ing as he had described, she had only received ss. from him during the last three weeks. On Tuesday evening she saw him drinking wine in a confectioner's shop in the Quadrant, after he had quitted some females, and on his coming out, she went up to him, and reproached him with his dishonourable conduct in deserting her. He then became very violent, and struck her a violent blow on her breast, with a large stick, which caused a considerable bruise, and he also beat her severely over the bands and arms, and threatened to send her to the watch-house. The Count, who is a young man, in imperfect English, declared that the complainant's story was false. She came up to him in the street, and threatened to expose him unless he gave her five shillings. lie had formerly lived with a foreign lady, who was now on the Continent, ht having procured her a situation, and it was for a similar engagement the complainant applied to him. Mr. CONANT-Am I to understand then that you deny seducing her P—The Count intimated that he had pot ruined the unhappy young girl. Complainant (weeping)—How can he assert such a falsehood, when I can point out the house, near Charing-cross, where he took me five times. Upon the first occasion, observing I was low spirited, he took my hand and begged I would place every reliance upon his honour. The Count said he considered the girl had not the slightest claim upon him. Mr. CONANT ordered the Count to find good bail, as it was an assault of a most brutal descrip tion ; but the matter was ultimately settled, by the Count and his friends making the complainant a pecuniary recompense. ATTEMPTED FORGERY AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It will be recollected that about three weeks since a forgery was committed at the Bank of England on the transfer of stock, and that not withstanding the greatest exertions were made to discover the party who had been guilty of this serious offence, the offender remained at large. Yesterday, however, the individual for whom the search had been going on, was arrested under extraordinary circumstances, the offender having had the effrontery to attempt to commit a second forgery at the Consol-office. The particulars of the capture of the individual in question that have come to our knowledge are these : The individual, whose name is Gifford, ap plied yesterday to Mr. Burgess, a broker,. to transfer 3001. 3 per Cent. Consolidated Annui ties. The same was effected accordingly, and the broker and the offender proceeded to the Consol Transfer-office in order that the latter might sign the Bank books. The forgery committed a short time since,. consequence of which the brokers, Messrs. Lin ton and Co., had to make good the stock fraudu lently sold out, has had the effect of rendering the stock-brokers more than usually cautious not to identify parties at the Bank, unless they either have had some previous knowledge of them, or can refer to other brokers who might be able to identify them. Mr. Burgess yesterday, before he went to make the transfer, asked the offender if he could get any one to speak to his identity, and his being the owner of the stock he was anxious to transfer. The offender imme diately replied that Mr. Linton could speak to his identity. Mr. Linton was applied to, and immediately recognized Mr. Gifford as the per son for whom he had sold stock a few weeks since. Mr. Gifford was immediately taken into custody, and information of the circumstance sent to Mr. Dawes, the chief officer of the Bank of England. The prisoner was soon afterwards taken before one or two of the Directors, Mr. Dawes, and other gentlemen connected with the Bank of England. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank, was sent for, and the prisoner was under examination for a considerable length of time. Of course none of the particulars of this examination were allowed to transpire, as the ends of justice might be defeated by their pub lication. It was a subject of much surprise, how the prisoner could have referred to Mr. Linton as a party to whom he (the prisoner) was known, as in the event of Mr. Linton seeing him detection was certain. The prisoner however, it appears, imagined, that owing to the great bustle come , quest on the transfer of stocks on a settling day in Consols, Mr. Burgess would have been per _ _ _ _ fectly satis6cd i rp .the reference to Mr. Linion, without troubling that broker to come from his business to identify him. In this, however, the prisoner was mistaken. At the time when the prisoner was arrestsd, about half-past two o'clock, the Consol Office was exceedingly crowded, and the capture of the offender created a strong sen sation. It was a subject of some conversation how:the prisoner could have become acquainted with the names of the parties whose stock he has thus at tempted to sell out, as well as the name of the individual whose name he forged a short time ago. It, however, turns out that the prisoner was some time since a clerk in the London An nuity Office, and it is supposed had some insight into the stock transactions of that Association, by which he became acquainted with the names of parties holding stock, and the amount they had in the Bank of England. After having undergone the examination in the Bank parlour, the prisoner was handed over to Marten, the city-officer, who conveyed him to the Compter. The prisoner was asked whe ther any solicitor should be applied to to under take his case, but he replied, shaking his head, "Itisof no use." On being asked where his residence was, the prisoner said he would rather he excused from answering that question. It is understood that the Bank are determined to let the law take its course. The Governor of the Bank of England has by Act of Parliament, power to dispose of persons committing forgeries on the establishment. Should it, therefore, be deemed advisable in order to further the ends of justice, and, if possible, to ascertain whether the prisoner has any colleagues in crime, no public examination of the prisoner may take place for some days. The prisoner is a short stout man, apparently about 28 years of age, and was dressed respectably in black. Rumours were current yesterday evening of the discovery of other forgeries, but although strict investigations have been going forward, it does not appear that any other offences have been committed by the prisoner. The unfortu nate individual did not appear to be deeply affected by the very perilous situation he has placed himself in. Martin, the officer, has obtained a clue to the prisoner's residence, and last night proceeded to Westminster, in order, if possible, to gain infor mation relative to the connections and habits of the prisoner. The above details were collected from the best possible sources, and will be found in the main correct. THE LIVERPOOL TUNNEL.—This extraor dinary and interesting work will in the course of another week be opened to the public. Preparations arc waking to render it as attractive as possible. The workmen are whitewashing the roof, in order to increase the effect of the gas lights, which are suspended from it at the distance of fifty yards from each other. ACCIDENT TO MR. MATTHEWS, THE Co.

I received no note from any person but the defendant.—[Two other letters from the de fendant to Mrs. Deane were put in; one of them expressed his determination to " protect" her.

NERAL—I went into the plaintiff's service a little before Christmas last, and remained there about two months. I received orders from Mrs. Deane to make up separate beds for her and my master, on Saturday, the 31st of January last. On the follow ing Tuesday Mrs. Deane removed from the house and went to Tottenham. Before she left, I went to the defendant's house, in consequence of being sent for by Mrs. Thomas. This was tivo or three days before Mrs. Deane went to Tottenham. Mrs. Thomas desired the defendant to go down on his knees, arid acknowledge, before ate, that he had acted criminally with Mrs. Deane at Mrs. Rum bold's. Mrs. Thomas was very angry.

They came there about three times. The last time was on a Sunday. They always went into the room where the bed was.

I did not go to bed. The defendant after wards came to the house. It was then about half past ten. The defendant went up stairs. I told my mistress that he was come. She told me to ask him in. He went into her bed-room, and stayed about twenty minutes. This was die plaintiff's case.

All the defendants were acquitted. DEAN E V. THOMAS. This was an action for criminal conversation Ai he plaintiff 's wife. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the ittin tiff, Joseph GFOotrf Deane, was a person of the...per suasion known by-the name of Quakers. Hokvas married about.nine years ago to the lady whose 'Con duct had given rise - to the present inquiry. Ale fruit .or that marriage liad.been five children. .The plaintiff's age at the time of the marriage was 25 or 26, and the was of nearly the s a m e age . They had'eontinued to reside together down to Ja nuary, in . the present year, and during the whole of that time had been on terms of the greatest 'affec tion, kindness, and harmony. The plaintiff was originally a clerk in a mercantile house, and was married in 1820, according to the ceremony adopted by the Society of Friends. Some time after his marriage, having quitted the merchant's counting house, he took a house in High-street, Shoreditch, at a rent of 1401. per annum, where he commenced the business of a cornchandler and coal-merchant, and he had continued to reside there to the present time. Within two doors of his house the de fendant, William Thomas, resided. He was a medical man, possessing a good establishment, hay ing succeeded a person who had retired from busi ness with a fortune. From the contiguity of his residence to the plaintiff's house the families had become acqw , inted. The defendant had not been originally the medical attendant of the plaintiff's family. Another medical man had attended Mrs. Deane in her accouchements, but the defendant had sometimes been called in to prescribe for the children. In the spring of last year Mrs. Deane had gone to the sea side, and at the same time the plaintiff had no reason to sup pose that any criminal intercourse had taken place between the defendant and her. Her letters to the plaintiff breathed the same sentiments of affection towards him, and the same concern for her children, as a virtuous wife and careful mother always enter tained. Some time afterwards, however, the plain tiff received an anonymous letter on the subject of the defendant's conduct to his wife, and although he at that time entertained no suspicions of the fidelity of his wife, he thought it his duty so far to act upon the letter as to request the defendant to discontinue his visits at his house, telling him that there were persons in the neighbourhood who conceived that he was paying more attentions to Mrs. Deane than were quite consistent with propriety, and therefore he had thought it proper to prevent all further ground for those suspicions. The defendant on this occa sion wrote a letter. to the plaintiff, in which he ex pressed his perfect concurrence in the step that the plaintiff proposed taki ng; an d at t h e sa me time declared that he had never betrayed the confidence reposed in him, and that Mrs. Deane had been most gros6ly slandered, there being not:' the least ground for the suspicions entertained:: The de fendant thus submitted to the exclukion which the plaintiff had pronounced upon him, but it was not long after that the plaintiff conceived that he observed' a change in. the -conduct of his wife, and that she did not treat him and her children-with the. same kindness and attention as she had formerly done ; but still he had no know ledge of any criminal intercourse having taken place. Soon afterwards, however, a communication was made to him by one of the servants in his house, by which he was given to understand that letters had passed from the defendant to Mrs. Deane, and from her to him. The plaintiff then made further inqui ries ; and having discovered one or two letters, which, although they did not import that a criminal intercourse had taken place, yet led him to believe that very improper conduct was going on, he desired that a separate bed might be prepared for his wife. This was done, and Mrs. Deane was shortly after , wards removed by her friends from the plaintiff's house. On making further :inquiries, the plaintiff ascertained that his wife had been in the habit, while he was absent from home, of meeting the de fendant in a house in Thames-street, where a Mrs. Rumbold (who had been occasionally employed in the plaintiff's family as a nurse), resided. He was informed that, during his absence, his wife had been seen to leave the house, and the defendant had been observed to follow shortly afterwards, in the same direction, to Mrs. Rumbold's, where they m e t on several occasions, and passed a considerable time in each other's company, in a room in which there was a bed and no person present. They h a d rema i ne d in this room at one time about twenty minutes, and on two other occasions about an hour. These cir cumstances, when proved, would of themselves af ford sufficient evidence to satisfy the Jury that the object of the parties was a criminal one, and that their purpose had been accriplishod. But there was another circumstance which h a d come to the knowledg e of the plaintiff after the discoveries before alluded to. He had learnt from a fe male servant that on one occasion, whin he had been obliged to go to the country on CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 23. JONES AGAINST JONES. This was an allegation offered by the wife against the husband, responsive to a suit promoted by the latter for restitution of conjugal rights. The allega tion set forth charges of cruelty against the husband, asserting that he had married her merely with a view of getting possession of certain property settled upon her by a former husband, the defendant having been left a widow with three children. Dr. LUSIIINGTON directed the allegation to be reformed and admitted. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HOYLE AGAINST SCALES. This was a suite for chiding, brawling, and smit ing in the vestry-room adjoining the parish church of St. Mary Stratford, how ; it was promoted by Mr. William Hoyle, one of the churchwardens, against Mr. Michael Scales, a parishioner. The squabble grew out of the animosities between certain of the parishioners and the select vestry w hich has recently been abolished by an Act of last Session. After the case had been argued at some length, Dr. LustuNGToN gave sentence. The question he had to decide was, whether there had been any language or conduct inconsistent with the decorum which ought to reign in a sacred place. Upon the whole he was of opinion that the charge of brawl ing was not proved; but that an act of violence was committed by the defendant. The offence being proved, the Court had no discretion, but must pro nounce the penalty of the law, however reluctant to do so. This was the first time the Court had been called upon to decide the degree of punish ment under the Act of 181.3, which effected an al teration, not in the general view of the statute of Edward VI., but in the mode of punishment. — Under all .the circumstanc e s, he thought a short term of imprisonment would suffice; he should therefore sentence the defendant to seven days' im prisonment, and to the payment of the costs. (It is necessary, in thi s case, t h at t h e E cc l es i ast i ca l Judgeshoeucler certify ary the sentence to the Court of Chancery, in order to its being carried into effect; but from an intimation given by the King's Advo cate, it appears not to b e t h e i ntention of t h e pro te r to call for such c er tifi cate i n t h e present case .) mote The Austrian Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yeaterday, at the Foreign-office. MURDER IN FRANCE. The . following are the additional disclosures made by Simon and Cabouat : The day after the sentence the two culprits appealed. At first they appeared confident and tranquil, and seemed to have no idea of their situation ; however, their tranquillity diminished every day, and ere long they manifested a good deal of apprehension. Finally, on last Wednes day Simon and Cabouat besought M. Sanso netti, President of Assizes, to repair to them. At three o'clock the magistrate went to the pris6n. The condemned stated to him their in tention to make " disclosures ;" but no sooner had the word escaped their lips than Simon was seized with a violent attack of epilepsy, and Cabouat fell into dreadful convulsions. It was impossible to take the confession under these circumstances. At half -past seven o'clock in the evening the President returned to the prison. The following is stated to be the sum of the recent disclosures:— It will be recollected what a strong sensation was produced upon the auditory by Simon's declaration, which cast upon Cabouat alone all the infamy of the assassination. As if relieved from a load which oppressed him, Simon ap peared more tranquil after this disclosure, and persons were tempted to believe in his sincerity. However, the two culprits admitted to the Presi dent that this pretended confession had been concerted between them ; and that Cabouat, confidently relying upon being able to prove an alibi, readily consented to the plan. In giving the circumstantial details of the assassination, the two criminals made the follow ing avowals. Cabouat knocked down the un- fortunate Psaume with a stone; afterwards he struck him two blows with a stick. Simon only gave him the third blow at the moment when their victim was expiring. Simon confirmed these dreadful statements, and declared that for five years he was unceasingly beset with entreaties by Cabouat and Madame Psaume herself, who alone impelled him to the crime. After these terrible avowals the criminals again fell into convulsions.—Gazette de France. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Cloa THE LONDON GAZETTE OF THIS EVENING.

PROSPECTUS FORTHE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BRIGHTON • prove coarse, uneven, .and, on 012. whole, very, inferior in quality. The crops• vary in bulk, being affected by the nature of the soil more con "siderably than usual. On hot, Anlow mouldca uplands, they are thin <an-T short ; while on lower and richer, yet sound laud, is an abundant supply both of straw and of long well-looking ears. But here, too frequently, the rains have beaten down the crops, and, m some of the richest parts of England, all is so flit (even wheat yet uncut), and the grass and weeds are so triumphantly lording it over the prostrate grain, that it is almost imp o ,-;. sible, without close inspection, to say of \Vluit species it consists. To- this, of course, there az., many fortunate exceptions, not only in the shwt growth of the high and dry lands, but among the heavier produce of the vales and flats. The go neral aspect forebodes a very inferior qualiLy, and with respect to quantity, in such a state of thioff.s as we have attempted to describe, it NVVUId presumption to hazard even a wide cakulatioli. Crops vary so continually and so much, eve from field to field, that no general conclusion could be formed but from an examination too extensive, as well as too minute, to be within the compass of any man's ability ; and. the ,final suit depends on what no man can foresee, the future state of the weather. A dry and 7 WATER WORKS COMPANY, ()/1 TIIE SUPPLYING BRIGHTON WITH PURE • AND WHOLESOME WATER. I T has long been a subject of general and just complaint, that the Inhabitants of the fashionable and attractive town of Brighton are nece-sitated to use for their Ow n Personal and .domestic service a very impure and un wholesome supply of Water. To obviate the existence .of an evil so indisputable, and a grievance so injurious, ,the " Brighton Water Works Company" have proposed* to B ",PPIY Water from a source which will admit of no conta „, • ) .'natiQ n) and free from every unwholesome and deleterious - "tent To accomplish this object, the Company have obtained the report of able Engineers, who have examined several spots of ground in the immediate neighbourhood of the Town, particularly eligible for the construction of the 3'equiaite works, and who have stated their opinion, that an abundantly plentiful supply of Water may be obtained from S p r ings at a moderate depth from the surface of the earth. The practicability of the plan proposed not being a matter of doubt, it remains to show that the establishment of such Co mpany is imperiously called for on the ground of public necessity and utility. It is well known that the Town of. Brighton is entirely 12sprovided, in case of Fire, with any sufficient supply of Water, notwithstanding its great and increasing extent ; and that for want of an immediate and adequate supply, available in case of such calamity, the Town in general stands exposed to indefinite injury, involving the lives and property of a most important and highly valuable portion of the British community. It is determined, therefore, to establish Works on an extensive and powerful scale. The shaft which is to be sunk, will go down a sufficient depth, until the springs are fully opened ; and a plentiful supply of Water will be Pump e d up by an Engine of great power into a Reservoir, Where it will be always ready f:r furnishing the Main on any emergency, and the Pipes constantly, with as much Pure soft Water as families may at any moment require. The Company offer as a public body, what cannot be ( Attained by private and individual means, namely, a con- Stint supply of pure and wholesOme Water, laid on to any tart of a house, at a very moderate charge. To such as may be desirous of becoming Proprietors in the Brighton Water Works, this project holds out advan tages, not founded on useless and experimental theories, but on a plan which must obtain public approbation ; and co nsequently a very handsome Dividend accrue to the Pro- Prietary in this useful and honourable undertaking. The Capital of the Company not to exceed 30,000/. in Shar es of 1001. each, of which 2!. per Share is to be paid en subscribing; and two months' notice will be given of every further Call, which shall not exceed Five per Cent. at any one time.

SUMMER ASSIZES. Re-examined-1 never gave the prisoner permis= sion to use my money. I objected to the wife leav ing the house, but she would go, that I should not leave the house. When the prisoner was in Lon don, his appearance was respectable. He used to dine with Mr. and Mrs. Cane, the landlord and land lady .of the French Horn, Crutched-friars, on Sur:- days. They said be had seen better days, and wished me to get him a situation, but I could not. I recommended him to go bome, and gave him money to go down. _ • COTTON WOOL. LIST or IMPORTS AND EXPOILTS.

The • prisoner replied, lam not the master, as you have the money. The Captain then said, " Here is money if you want it." Mr. Serjeant TADDY left it to the Jury to say whether they could rely on the evidence of the pro secutor, who had evidently conducted himself with great imprudence. At ail events they should acquit the younger prisoner.

But on the other liaifd, before the moisture came, there was a long pre valence of dry weather, so that the time of sow ing was unseasonably delayed ; and subsequently the sufficiency of moisture has been turned into excess, accompanied by cold nights, and days without sunshine. Hence the turnips, originaliv backward, have been slow in growth, and thon g !

LAZENBY and SON gratefully ac- M—A o knowledge the increasing demand and decided preference this much admired SAUCE continues to expe rience, and are happy to announce, that, on the 28th July, 1829, they attained a verdict, in the Court of King's Bench, with 40/. damages, against Mr. Wingrave, of St. Paul's Church-yard, London, for selling a spurious Sauce, with a Label to imitate that used for the genuine Sauce, which continues to be prepared only at their Warehouse, No. 6, Edward's-street, Portman-square ; and cannot he genuine unless the Label of each bottle is signed Elizabeth Lazenby, and the cork sealed with their full address. N.B. Country Dealers not procuring it direct from E. Lazenby and Son, are respectfully advised that every bottle from their Warehouse is wrapped in a printed statement of the actions they have maintained for pirating their name and signature. • John Walkley, aged .50, was indicted, charged with having stolen, on the 13th of February last, seven Bank of England notes, of the value of 100/ each, and other notes of the value of 20/., and George Walkley, aged 24, was indicted for receivAg the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. CURWOOD, with whom was Mr. CHICHES TER, said the circumstances of this case were of a singular nature. The prosecutor was an American Captain, in the merchant service. He came to this country in the autumn of last year, bringing with him 300 or 400 ounces of silver, for which he re ceived at the Bank the sum of 8201. His intention was to lay out his money in cutlery for the South Sea market; but previous to his making the investment he met the prisoner James Walkley at a public house he frequented in Crutched-friars, and having given him some pecuniary assistance, was by the pri soner invited to go to see him, at Rodborough, in this county, where he resided, and had formerly carried on the trade of a butcher. The prosecutor being desirous of seeing a little of England before his departure, went to Birmingham, Sheffield, Glou cester, and different other towns, and then to. call upon the prisoner. He carried the money which he had received for the dollars with him, and the pri• sorer being apprised of that circumstance, recom mended him to leave it at home with his wife to take cue of. The prosecutor placing implicit confidence in the prisoner,consented,and it remained in the care of the prisoner's wife till one day it was proposed they should all go to the Petty - Sessions which were to be held at Gloucester. The prosecutor, finding they were all about to leave the house, insisted upon having his money hack, which he thought would be in danger if left ►n an empty house, and after some difficulty it was returned to him. lie kept it for some time, and again yielding to the persuasions of the prisoner, gave it to the prisoner's wife to take etre of for him. On that occasion he lent the pri sor►er 10/., and he then observed that a .50/. note was missing; he did not charge the prisoner with h a ving taken it, but while he •was examining his notes the prisoner snatched one of 100/. from him, and put it in his pocket. The next morning at breakfast the prisoner returned that note of 1001. to the prosecutor, and said he was going to Wood chester. The prosecutor said he would go to Stroud, and they both set out together; but when the prosecutor got to Stroud the prisoner, instead of proceeding any further, returned back to the house, and having obtained from his wife the prosecutor's money, immediately left home, and was not heard of till he was apprehended _on the present charge. The prosecutor, after making every inquiry about the prisoner, at last proceeded to the house of a lady in London, where the prisoner's daughter -was in service. He could gain no information of him there, but the mistress of the prisoner's daughter put a letter into his hands, which had been written by the prisoner to his daughter,and would leave no doubt of his guilt. The Learned Counsel then read the letter. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. WATSON appeared for the defence. Michael Cluney said, lam an American mariner, a captain. I arrived here two years ago. I brought with me 4,000 dollars; they were lodged in the bullion office at the Bank of England, and I re ceived 8201. for them. Last autumn I resided at 22, Savage-gardens. 'I used to spend my evenings at the French Horn, Crutched-friars. I there be came acquainted with the prisoner. lie then looked a little more respectable than he does now. The prisoner told me that when at home he resided at Rodborough, in Gloucestershire. Wishing to see a little of England, Iceme into Gloucestershire, and called upon the prisoner at Stroud, and found him living in a small house, above the Fleece inn. I took up my lodging at the prisoner's house, as he advised me to stay there instead of the Fleece inn, to save expense. I had nearly 8001. about me; the prisoner knew it, and he recommended me to leave it with his wife for safety. I then counted it out, 7201., to his wife, and told her to keep it safely, as I should leave in a day or two. After breakfast the prisoner said he should go to Woodchester. I never saw him again till about the 23d of June. I went out again, and returned home again at seven o'clock, and about eleven o'clock at night I learnt the prisoner had gone to Stroud, and taken the money with him. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I was in troduced to this man at a respectable public-house in London. I went with the prisoner to Windsor before I went to Stroud; I paid the expenses of that trip. We were there two days. I accepted a share of the prisoner's bed in the cottage. I did so also at Windsor. I don't know that I did that at Wind sor to save expenses. I have written letters to the prisoner. [A letter was here handed to witness by the Learned Counsel.] I believe this is my hand writing. lam not quite sure. You may have it so as you like. I don't doubt it. 1 think it is. That letter referred to my having missed some shirts. I slept in the same bed with the prisoner several times after I thought he had stolen my shirts. When the prisoner could not get employment in London, offered to pay his quarter's rent for him. Mr. Serjeant TADDY here asked Mr. Curwood, whether, under the circumstances of this case, it was to the public interest that this case should go on. Mr. CuttwooD did not wish to press it, but the defence set up was no legal answer to the case. Mr. Serjeant TADDY —It may or it may not be, but the circumstances are of a nature so peculiar, that I very much doubt the propriety of proceeding. Cross•exami nation continued—The prisoner's wife and child left his house every night for about three weeks, for my accommodation. Mr. Sedeant TADDY—Why did not you get an• other bed ? Witness—l don't knew, my Lord; the prisoner asked me to stay at his house. By Mr. C. PHILLIPS-Why did you not sleep in a separate bed at Windsor ? Was it to save expense you both slept in one bed there ? Witness—l don't know. There was only one room in the prisoner's house. I gave the prisoner 10/. to go down to his family, and he is not the first I have given pounds and pounds to. Ir. C. PHILLIPS—I dare say not, Sir. Mr. Setjeant TADDY—Gentlemen of the Jury,. allowing for the difference of habits of other coun tries, this case must rest on th e cre di t you g i ve to this man. If you think you can attach any credit to his testimony, we will go on with the case. The Jury, after consulting together for a few mi nutes, said they had no doubt .t h e w i tness ' s c r edit might be good.. Itwak here mtimate4 that the lallies must leave DAVIS V. --• CAPPER, ESQ. Mr. CARRINGi'ON opened the pleadings, stating that this was an action against the defendant, a Ma gistrate of this county, for false imprisonment. Mr. CURWOOD said the defendant was a gentle man of property, and a Magistrate of the county. The plaintiff was a poor and aged woman, who com plained of having been imprisoned for sixteen days, without any reasonable curse. The subject matter of this action was so well understood, that he had no doubt the Jury were perfectly acquainted with the circumstances of the case, and his Lordship would, he was sure, have some recollection of them. In October, 1827, the plaintiff went to lodge at the house of a Miss Ann Hammerton, who resided at Cheltenham. She carried on the business of a mil liner. She was a young woman of great talents, of fascinating manners,and considerable personal beauty. The plaintiff lived on a small annuity allowed her by a relation in Wales, and also on other small pro perty. On the Irith of November, 1827, she re ceived from her relation in Wales a letter containing a 101. note, one half of the sum that he allowed her annually. She showed the note to Hammerton, and on the next day, the 16th, Hammerton, under some pretence or other, prevailed on her to take tea in the kitchen with her, and not in the parlour. While at tea, the plaintiff's box was taken away, containing the 10/. note and some articles of wear ing apparel. Hammerton continued to persuade the plaintiff that if she went to a cunning man she would discover who the thieves were ; but at last, from va rious circumstances, some suspicion attached to Hammerton, and on the .sth of January, 1828, the plaintiff went to Mr. Capper, the defendant, and preferred a charge of robbery against Hammerton. The case was heard, and adjourned to the Bth of January; previous to that . day Mr. Capper had a private interview with Miss Hammerton, and on the case coming on to be heard on the Bth, the charge against Miss Hammerton was dismissed. Shortly after that Miss Hammerton madea charge against the plaintiff of having robbed her ; the plain tiff was taken from her bed on the night of the 27th of January, locked up all night, and the next day brought before Mr. Capper, at the public office, Cheltenham, on Miss Hammerton's statement that she had cause to suspect the plaintiff of having rob bed her. On that occasion, a letter was produced by Hammerton, addressed to the plaintiff, alluding to the alleged robbery by the plaintiff; it was signed " Obadiah," and dated the 19th of January, the writer engaging to write again in 14 days. The plaintiff was asked by Mr. Capper who the letter was from, and who Obadiah was; she replied that she had never seen the letter, and was therefore un able to give any answer ; on which Mr. Capper com mitted her to Northleach prison f0r,16 days. He (Mr. Curwood) could not but call the attention of the Jury to the contrast between the conduct of the de fendant to this poor old woman, and the way in which he treated Miss Hammerton, the young and handsome woman, when a charge was preferred against her, without sureties, without entering into her recognizances, she was suffered to depart, and the charge against her dismissed ; but the plaintiff, on a case of suspicion, and being unable to account for a letter which had never been in her possession, was sent to Nerthleach prison for sixteen days. At the expiration of that period she was brought back to Cheltenham, but Mr. Capper not happening to be in attendance, the magistrates who were there not choosing to interfere in a case which had been heard by him, the unfortunate plaintiff was sent back to prison for three days more, and at the end of that time discharged for want of further evi dence. The plaintiff, in consequence of informa tion that she had received, preferred a fresh charge against Miss Hammerton. Mr. Capper refused to receive the deposition, or to commit her ; but on that same evidence, Miss Hammerton having sur rendered to take her trial at the Spring Assizes for 1828, she was convicted before his Lordship. What ever might have been the faults c.f that unfortunate girl, he (Mr. Curwood) could not but deplore the melancholy result of that trial, which he had no doubt was known to every one present. [She hung herself in prison.] Evidence was then adduced in support of the Learned Counsel's statements—after which the trial was postponed till the next day. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OF WrIALES, NEAR DUBLIN. -During the frightful gale on Tlinrsday evening, two immense whales were stranded near Sir E. LEE'S beautiful lodge at. Howth. His gardener, on going to the spot, found two of these monsters struggling to get into deep water. The man returned for a gun and friend, and after dischargium 45 bullets into the body of the lar gest, they succeeded in killing bins: These amazing fish made a desperate resistance, and it was nine hours before they were completely captured. They measure each 30 f ee t, and weigh six tons, and are to be seen at the smith's forge, opposite Lord Howrit's deer-park, at Howth.— Dublin .Evening p ac k e t, - • It seems but a superfluous task to enter into a description of • the weather that has preVailed during the last month ; it will, probably, leave traces of its effects on the minds, and means, of very many, not easily or speedily to be effacel Rain was not unfrequent at the beginning of the month ; yet still there were intervals in which the labours of the season could be prosecuted successfully ; but latterly, instead of the dry warm state of the atmosphere which we habitually term " harvest weather," storm, and gloom, and heavy driving rains, have succeeded each other with little intermission, and with a temperature occa sionally more like that of November than that of August. We have seen and heard repeated ac counts of the harvest, and of its anticipated pro duce ; and it will, of course, be expected that we too should let fly our bolt among the many random shots which the archers of the daily Journals have' discharged ; yet, in truth, it is no easy task to hit the Mark, or to get hold of the end of so tangled a skein as the present harvest. Looking primarily to wheat, as the crop in which both grocers and consumers are mainly interest ed, it is clear that the various accidents of soil, and exposure, of early and late sowing, have this year been peculiarly influential, and have caused its produce to vary in such numerous instances, and between such wide extremes, that it is very difficult to calculate the average result, as to. quantity ; and, in such a fickle and unpropitious season, the earlier or later ripening of the grain, open fields or close hedge-rows, scarcity or abundance of hands, better or worse management, a fortunate moment seized or let slip, are circum stances that haVe introduced as great a variety into the quality as into the quantity of the pro duce. There is something, at this time of the year, that generally puts " a lying spirit" into the mouths of our prophets in grain ; they al ways " prophecy smooth things" of the harvest. We cannot be an echo to this cuckoo song of never-failing abundance, nor uniformly dress our reports " couleur de rose." We give our opi niou with diffidence, but we incline to think that, under no circumstances, would the harvest have been equal to the promise of the early part of the summer, nor to the expectations of late so injudiciously raised. A serious injury took place at the end of the blossoming reason. The good and warm lands of the kingdom may yield abundantly, both in straw and °rain • but there are large tracts where the ears abound in empty capsules; in many spots the plant is thin, and in some absolutely deficient, forming altogether a great, and not readily cal culable, deduction from the fertility of the rest. Had the harvest proceeded under the most fa vourable circumstances, it could hardly have ex ceeded a common average produce, taking it altogether, and it may reasonably be doubted whether it would have fully attained to that point. As it is, the miserable weather that has prevailed of late will not only seriously injure the quality of the wheat crop, but will lessen the quantity by the waste which inevitably occurs, under such circumstances, in various ways ; by the impossibility of reaping the lodged and tangled wheat in a clean and efficient manner, by the loss which takes place in turning the grips, in tying and untying the sheaves, moving and setting up the fallen shocks, and by the increase of refuse and damaged corn, which, in winnow ing, never comes to the bushel. All this, though apparently little in detail, makes a fearful deduc' Lion in the aggregate. Taking the average of the kingdom throughout, there is, probably even yet, not more than half of the wheat crop secur ed ; for, we know of districts, even in the south, where less than that portion is housed ; and, in the north, there must be much yet uncut. It is folly to say, or to believe, that the continued rains have not yet seriously injured the grain, whether cut or uncut ;, not only by causing it to sprout, but by thickening its coat, spoiling its colour, rendering the flour less perfectly sepa rable from the bran, and by deadening its spirit —a miller's term—which, although we do not pretend to define, we practically know to involve a serious deterioration of quality and price. Samples of prime quality there may be, and such are those which arc chiefly selected for the market at present; but it must be evident that only a small portion of the crop, which was carried very early, could be uninjured by the weather in the field ; and of this small portion no inconsider able share was put together so hastily as to incur great risk of heating, or of continuing damp and tough. Several ricks we have seen pulled to pieces after being made ; and, beyond a doubt, many more would have been the better for this operation if the weather, had not prevented its being resorted to, except in cases of absolute ne cessity-. Of spring corn, comparatively little has as yet been cut ; but, from the state in which it lies, the sickle must be actively employed as soon as possible. To this, however, there are sonic exceptions ; for, owing to lateness of sowing, or of vegetation, in well of th e d r y period in the spring, as as, to the late wet and un genial weather, much of the barley and oats is various piats of the country are nearly as green as ever,: ioa6 are frequently sadly broken in the straw,. and lodged; and it may be doubted whether they will prove productive. there are generally two or mere distinct growths ap O d f it barley in the same crop ; the rain has discoloured and blackened the ends of the must overrun by weeds. These untoward cireurn- stances may be cured or mitigated by a fine dry autumn ; and there may be, on the whole, to ;in its extent into consideration, a plentiful supply nt turnips. At present, notwithstanding th , ,! flourishing appearance of mangel-ww'zel mul t►n•nips in particular situations, we do not think that bulky crops of these valuable roots can be safely depended on. The second crop of clover is good, and even luxuriant in soils welladapt.e. to it ; and all the latter grass has grown fiee•ly and vigorously. But the fickleness of the clover plant is more than ever complained of, and trefbil in some soils seems to be getting capricious also. In the hop grounds, potwialstanding partuti - starts of the most vigorous plants, little hope seems to be entertained, except, as far as the pre carious chance of very genial weather may work unlooked-for miracles at the " eleventh. hour." In the Corn Market good samples of wheat, as might be expected from the weather, are con siderably advanced, but inferior qualities can hardly find purchasers. Barley and oats-are bath rather dearer, not indicating an- expectation of a very abundant produce. The. Meat Market has experienced but little variation, though some de gree of briskness seems to show itself. Sheep, and particularly ewes, have advanced in price at the late fairs, and a plenty of keep will probably sustain their value. Wool, if not improved, is at least not farther depressed in -price, as indeed it was hardly possible. On the whole, there never was more gloomy prospects for the farmer ; he has been gradually dwindling, and the constun mation of his fate seems not unlikely to be ap proaching. But " great griefs are s►lent," and we have neither space nor heart to enter on su serious a subject.

ANECDOTE OF AIATFIEws.--An intimate friend of 111.antaws the other day, having sLaken hands and taken his leave of him at his eartittqc door near gate, took it into his bead, the read for a short distanne being unusually muddy, to mount behind the carriage, which MArnaws perceiving, put his head and shoulders out of the window, desiring him to get down.

ff , %,;,,, :-"- • 4, v , ' drkti tyr -..!, i; ,,, -. E FAILURES. .' , s , .._.: '',XsTirSt- r ore's ti -1 41L-loth and wool trade, which ses. - S ...„, , '--- eckell6o at!' SatuMay, have since spread ex retu**,tad it .ii now estimated that in the w hole 12 or 14 house's in that line have stopped payment. One of the failures has been stated to amount to 250,0001., but this is without doubt an exaggeration; though, taken collectively, an immense loss must be sustained by the connexions of the various houses which have failed on this occasion. There is no reason, however, as we understand, for inferring an unsound state of trade generally from these failures, inasmuch as it was well known in the city that the individuals were for the most part conducting their business on a ruinous system, which had long pro duced a serious injury to their credit among the more wary and cautious merchants. It seems to have been the practice, for example, for a long time past, in those particular branches of trade, to resort to fictitious sales for the sake of creating a large paper circulation wherewith to support their various operations. Thus a quantity of cloth was sold from one (teller to another, who purchased in return an equal amount in wool, but making out a regular bill of sale for each article to double its real value. Bills were then drawn by each against the transaction, and money raised on them on the best terms the discount market would afford, which, as the parties contrived to maintain a respectable state of credit out of their own circle, were seldom very unfavourable. Suspicions of the unsoundness of the system were from time to time entertained, but it was not, we believe, fully understood, till an investigation took place into the affairs of a great establishment which failed about three months ago, in the course of which the creditors, who devoted some weeks to the inquiry, fully exposed this and other irregular practices of the same kind, which had been carrying on for a long time previously. It is not surprising that few of the houses that resorted to them could keep their ground after such dis closures ; and as the nature of the transactions made them dependent on each other for mutual support, it is as little to be wondered at that the whole of them should fall together. It need not be doubted that these events will tend so bring about that reform in our system of trade wl;iell is so much to ba desired, and which circumstances so imperiously call for. A letter re ceived this morning from - Glasgow, a place which ills been gradually undergoing this sort of purifica tion for some time past, speaks of the change, but per haps with rather too much confidence, as already ac complished in that great manufacturing district. The writer, who is a gentleman retired from business, remarks, speaking of Glasgow, that " commerce and manufactures are proceeding iii a course that ought to be abundantly satisfactory, with very par tial diminution its to extent, and with a remunera tion we cannot too soon learn to consider adequate. Nothing but that which has been manifestly wrong in principle or practice has been lopped off. All seem to be acting on a system of cautious and cal culating yet persevering enterprise. I can learn no instances of failure, though so many have occurred here, the causes of which cannot be traced to wild speculation or most ill-judged confidence, upheld by paper in various shapes." These few sentences form, in fact, the true description of the great failures that have occurred perhaps since the war, as well au of the state to which trade ought quietly to subside, now that the English merchant has a com petition to sustain with the whole of the Continent. The distress at Paisley and other places, accord ing to the writer of the letter above quoted, is not to be ascribed so much to the diminution in the quantity of the fabrics made there, as to the changes causesi, by which, even now, improvements are con stantly making. As an instance of this, it is men tioned, that all varieties of figured muslins are now being produced, wrought by a machine instead of the female band, Needles with two points are now pre pared, the eye in the centre acting as the finger, twenty of which, directed by one person only, work the pattern simultaneously the whole width of the muslin. The distress of the working classes is not of course the less to be deplored an ticeount of the ingenuity of the - machinery here described; but as regards the extension of our trade, it is the price perhaps we must now necessarily pay for it.—Times. fOILLIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitationnel of Sunday, Aug. 30 ) EXTRACT FROM A ERIYATE LETTER. "BUCHAREST, AUG. 11.—The news from Con stantinople, which is of the beginning of this month, informs us that the disasters of the Turkish army, and the progress of the Russians, have caused a great sensation in the capital, " Anxiety is impressed on all countenances, and every thing indicates the despair of the inhabitants. Every body cries out treachery! The people crowd the streets and run in all directions, without any certain object; the old people do not quit the mosques; the great men are packing up their most valuable effects to convey them to Asia, particularly to Smyrna. Soldiers of all arms jostle each other in the narrow streets. In short, the noise arid the tumult presents a truly alarming scene. A strict police has however been able to preserve tranillity to this moment. Si nce the last fire, which was caused, however, by the carelessness of some sol diers, the authorities are doubly vigilant. All men able to bear arms assemble at day-break at reude7- vous; they are exercised, arid receive sabres, mus kets, battle-axes, &c. " The Sultan seems to intend to put himself at the head of his army, and the reinforcements that come from Asia are immediately sent forward. There are frequent communication; between the Divan and the English Ambassador, who despatches couriers every day; and it is said that the Porte has offered to England important cessions of territory, particularly of islands in the Archipelago, espeeiaily of Candia, if it would interfere by arms in its con test with Russia. " The Turks still behave well to the Christians and the Jews. Contrary to the Oriental custom, the great men meet frequently, and deliberate on the measures to be taken in case of need. As the wounded pride of the Mussulmans may lead them to the greatest excesses, it is thought that the Rus sians will take great precautions before they strike a death-blow against this empire. " The Turks are not unacquainted with the catas trophe of Moscow, and know that by sacrificing that ancient capital, the Russians stopped the progress of their enemies." (From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) SECOND EDITION. (Extract from the Augsburgh Gazette of Aug. 26.) (RY EXPRESS.) " VIENNA, AUG. 22.—An express, just arrive( from Constantinople, which left that city on the the 14th, brings intelligence that the Porte, terrified at the progress of the Russian army, has resolved to consent to negotiations for peace. " The Reis-Effendi has intimated to Mr. Gordon and Count Guilleminot, that the resolution of the Sultan was to accept the treaty of the Gth of July, 1827, and to negoctate on the bases of the Conven tion of Akermann, also to make great commercial concessions to Russia. His Plenipotentiaries had not set out for the Russian head-quarters when the express left, but were to do so immedinely after. Hostilities may be considered as suspended at this moment. The head-quarters of General Diebitsch were bellevedat Constantinople to be at Kirk-kilissa. " ANCONA., AUG. 17.—A. French courier from Paris, who has embarked here from Corfu,br ourdit the news of the change in the French Ministry. 'At the same time a report was spread that lie carried orders for the French troops to evacuate the Moi ea• t h at l i e goes first to Corfu, t o d e li ver t o th e Lord . High Comm!ssioner instructions f. urn t h e English Cabinet, u hich are said to be to supply th e F renc h troops it itli ship; if they wanted them. It was eve, added, that the troops were to be embarked in the French fleet, and landed in me of need at Constantinople. (BY EXPRESS.) 0 C O NSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The Sultan, see ng the danger increasing, has at length accepted ..he treaty of the 6th July. The news of the pas sage of the Balkan, and of the Russian victories in Asia, have led to this result. The capital is tranquil, and it is thought that General Muffling, who is ar rived, will be listened to more favourably. " BUCHAREST, AUG. 7.—General Geismar, after dispersing the reinforcement sent to the Pacha of Widdin, has retired to the left bank of the Danube, doubtless not to give the Servians, who think of re volting against the Porte on the approach of the Russians, any inducement to take such a step, the Emperor having given his Generals the strictest orders to avoid any thing that might engage the peaceable inhabitants of Servia in the present war. " Fresh troops from the interior of Russia have reached the Danube, and have taken the road to Jenibazar." GERMAN PAPERS. FROM THE MAINE, AUG. 20.—There are re ports of the accession of the Grand Duchy of Baden to the commercial treaty between Bavaria and Wur temberg on one part, and Prussia and Hesse Darm stadt on the other. It does not appear that any of the states of the central German union have already taken steps to join Prussia and Bavaria, as has been reported. It is said the conventions which have been negotiated, and perhaps already concluded with Prussia, related only to the transit of goods through the respective states. On this, as on other occa sions, the liberal conduct of the Prussian Govern ment towards German confederates is said to have been manifested in the most honourable manner. FRANKFORT, AUG. 21.—Great alarm was caused here yesterday by the receipt of an express from Amsterdam, by a great house, which brought word that Russian stock had fallen 3 per cent. at London, and the English funds per cent. This caused the prices here, which were already given way, to fall still more. However, the well-known house is ex erting itself to prevent a further decline, and as it has great resources at command, it will probably succeed. The fair which is beginning promises wen. Large quantities of English goods are said to be al ready sold.—)Nuremberg Correspondent, Aug. 24. SWITZERLAND, AUG. 22.—1 n the 23(1 and 24th sittings of the Diet, the cantons of Schafhausen, St. Gall, and Argovia, considering the military capi tulation concluded by several cantons with Naples, solemnly entered their protest against all the conse quences that might hence arise by the enrolling of foreigners. With respect to the remonstrances against the introduction of the new military penal code in the regiments in the French service, it was resolved not to accede to the desire of the petitio,t ers for the delay of the introduction of the code, their petition being founded on inadmissible and even incorrect grounds ; and it was also determined to intimate the displeasure of the Diet with those among the petitioners who had acted in a manner unsuitable to relations with the authorities of the confederation and the governments. The presiding canton was also directed to answer the note of the Ambassador in a manner conformable to this reso lution.—FranAfott Papers, Aug. 25. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank stock 3 per Cent.

Frankfort Papers of the 26th of Aug., and the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 24th, have been received this morniilg, Their contents relate principally to Greece, and are favourable to the PREStDP:TT. The conduct of the Eng lish Government with regard to Greece is not relished by the ruling Powers, ho look with more favour upon the Russians and French t--, iNiusicir, Aye. 2I, —By the kindness of M. Eynard we have received the following extracts of letters from Greece, of the 28th May and 29th June;— " Colonel fleydegger, who had need of repose for the recovery of his health, has obtained the King's permission to leave Greece. The President writes on this occasion " , The good and excellent Colonel Heydegger is really under the necessity of returning to his country, in order to take care of his health, which every day becomes worse, I {Five not the courage to ask him to stay longer. When he has recovered I hope his attachment Gill bring him back again. In a few days I to reece shall send w the children of Mantis and Sachturi to Munich, and on this occasion I shall offer to his Majesty, the King of Bavaria, the tribute of my gratitude for all the benefits which he has heaped upon this country. " ' The two Ambassadors must have arrived at Con stantinople. We expect, with confidence, the result of their endeavours, but on our side we shall fulfil our duties constantly relying upon Providence, which will not forsake us. Strong in this persuasion, I shall do every t liing in my power to assemble at length a national Con gress. The provinces which had been invited to send their Representatives have answered that they gave me the rights of citizenship with their full Powers. I have expressed my gratitude to them, but have a second time asked them to send their Representatives, and I hope they will meet at Argos about the end of June. (We know from the Courrier de Smyrne that they are nominated, and that most of them have arrived at Argos.) " ' The declarations which Maishal Maison and his of ficers will make at Paris respecting the internal condition of Greece, and the pains which the Government takes to introduce amelioration by degrees will, I hope, counter balance all the falsehoods which people have thought fit to spread respecting the state of this country, and the atti tude of its Government. The Marshal, who has been led by the interest he feels in us to make himself fully ac quainted with our sufferings, will successfully plead our cause to his generous Sovereign.' " " The President is worthy of general confidence and esteem ; but perhaps every body cannot appreciate him as he merits, because his cold and repulsive manner does not prejudice people in his favour at first. But all those who know more of him perceive him to be a truly virtuous man. " Hitherto the English have shown themselves far from friendly in their relations with the Greeks. The Consul executes with rigour the orders which his Government sends him, very different in this respect to the Russian and French Agents, who do their utmost to be useful to the Greeks, and to facilitate the operations of the President.— The surrender of Missolonghi, which was a day of rejoicing for all the Greeks and all foreigners, seemed to counteract the views of the English Agents." ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 12.—Mohammed Mustapha, Prince of the Afghans, arrived here on the 7th from Orenburg. The Afghans are a warlike Nomade people on the frontiers of British India, and are able to bring about 20,000 men into the field. Since 1826 the country has been governed by two brothers, sons of Timur Khan, who died May 7, 1793. One of them, Jar Mohammed, re sides at Peischawer, and the other, Purdel Khan, at Caudabar. The two brothers are known in India as distinguished warriors. A third brother, Dost Mohammed Khan, who resided at Cabul, was expelled in 1826 by these two brothers. The Afghans, as well as their neigh bour, the Rajah of Lahore, who lately bad two Ambas sadors at St. Petersburgh, are known to be friends to Russia. BRUNSWICK, Auc. 19.—Great sensation has been caused here by the memorial of the Commis•ioners re specting the differences between Hanover and Brunswick, which was first made public by the South German Jour nal. It is much to be regretted, that this unsea'onable publication throws difficulties in the way of the highly de sirable amicable arrangement of which some hopes are entertained, and things may now come to that extremity which the most powerful Members of the Confederation have been striving for years to prevent. The contents of the French Papers add nothing ,o our news from the theatre of war or Constan tinople. Letters from Jassy of the 4th ult. state that be sanatary measures adopted by the authorities lad had the effect of checking the progress of le plague. Gibraltar Papers to the 14th ult. have been received. The exchange was 48/ We have received, through a private channel, New York Papers to the 6th August. Their contents are not politically important. No ac- counts had been received at Havannah, from the Mexican expedition, up to the 17th July, so that it had been twelve (lays at sea, or at least fro►n Havannah, without any intelligence of its movements being known. '1 he following are a few extracts : (From the New York Morning Courier of Aug. 5.) NEW ORLEANS, Jur.v 11.—The wet weather, notieed in our list, continued until Wednesday, since when it has become dry and warm. The Mississippi is falling slowly, and it has now fell ten feet lower than at this time last year. Our market generally continues dull, and but little variation in prices during the week. The city, for the time of the year, is unusually healthy, n otwithstanding the determination of many to make it out otherwise. COTTON.-Arrived since our last, from the interior and Mississippi, 335 bales ; Mobile, 305 ; North Alabama and Tennessee, 67 ; across Lake Ponchartrain, 37 ; Pen sacola, 23 ; together 817 bales. Cleared in the same time, for Liverpool, 4,990 ; New York, 197 ; Boston, 104; in all 5,291 bales—making a decrease in stock, including all on ship board, not cleared yesterday morning, of 4,474 bales. The sales of the week have been quite limited, and at a decline on former rates, particularly in N. Alabama and Tennessee. There is considerable shipping on owners' account; which gives the appearance of real transactions. Louisiana and Mississippi are becoming scarce, and not in good demand. We quote the following sales:—Ordinary, 7a 8 ; middling, 8-)1 a ; fair, 9a9i ;. good fair, 91. a 10/ ; good and fine, 104 a 11. RICHMOND, JULY 31.—WHEAT AND FLOUR.—Wheat is coming in freely, principally under contracts with the millers. The quality is fair, and it has been got in in good condition. Present price 90 cents for red, 95 for white. In City Mills Flour there is nothing doing. The mills are all at work, but for want of buyers the millers are obliged to ship on their own account. Very little new Flour has yet come from the country, and what has come in has gone off very slowly. Last sales 5 dollars. Ton A cco. —The purchase three weeks since of 1,500 lihds. 11 dollars per 100, on account of a northern house, for the French market, excited considerable interest, and advanced the price of all qualities suited to the markets of that country fully one dollar per 100. Since that period, though foreign advises continued unfavourab:e, the mar ket has remained firm until a few days ago, when the prices began to decline, particularly for fine qualities. Yesterday about 100 lihds. were inspected. The public sales were as follows :—Refused, 3 dollars 25 a 4.25 ; common passed, 4.10 a 4.75; middling, 5 a 5.75; good to fine, 6 a 9.25. Prices generally low for quality, com pared with previous sales. PETERSBURc.H, J ULY 31.—THE MA RKET.—SaIes of Wheat have been made during the week at 90 a 97 cents per bushel. We have received New Orleans papers to the 10th July, inclusive. They are still silent on the subject of the yellow fever, though we know that it exists there, or did on the Ist of the month, for such is the information communicated to us by a gentleman direct from that city. The cases, however, were not numerous, and it was hoped the disease would not become prevalent. At the same time it was admitted that its prevalence would not be surprising, as the low state of the liver had prevented the usual washing of the streets by opening its embank ments, and the consequence was, an unusual accumulation of filth. Tat ttowraalT DISCOVERY.--W. Gammeyer, engraver, of Albany, has discovered or invented a kind of ink, of a quality which has long been desired, and the use of which on bank notes, will prevent the frauds so much practised, of extracting numbers and inserting others. Dr. L. B. Beck has made experiments with it, and he says that no chemical agent with which he is acquainted, will discharge the ink without destroying the texture of the paper. There can be no doubt that this ink will get into genet al ildeertiser A New ()drams paper of the Bth July estimates the number of Spanish emigrants to that city, in consequence of the late law of Mexico expelling them from the country, at more than 2,000. Many of them are affluent, but others are distressingly poor. The ~astern Argus of the 24th July, says, that the contractors on the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Canal are pushing the work on with great spirit, and from the completion, d numberof rn , nen)Ployetl, there is every judging prospect f its ts speedy o It appears by a notice in last night's Gazette, that after the 30th day of this instant Septem ber the interest on Exchequer Bills will be re duced one farthing, when new Bills will be issued, bearing an interest of lid. per day for every 1001. We are glad to perceive by an Advertisement in another part of our Paper, that a Company is about being established fur supplying Brighton with that first necessary of life—pure and whole some water. The wonder is, that such an indis pensable thing should have been so long ne glected in a town of such thriving importance as Brighton, frequented by the world of fashion, and inhabited by people of rank, wealth, and public spirit. Our wonder is increased by the consideration, that in a place of so much pro perty there should have been no adequate sup ply of water in case of fire ; but this want will in future be supplied by the excellent arrange ments of the New Company, who promise not only to bring an abundance of pure water, but to supply enough for the accommodation of all at a very moderate charge. The advantages which this uNdertaking holds out to subscribers are so ma nifest as to require no commendation. To the lordly and spirited proprietors of houses in that favourite place, the success of any plan having for its object the improvement of the town, must be particularly satisfactory. The situation of Brighton is exceedingly favourable for an easy I supply of water to any part of the town, and to any part of the highest houses, for the rising ground to the north affords peculiar facilities. A special Meeting will, we understand, be convened at Brighton on Friday, the 11th inst., for the Election of a Board of Directors. The capital of the Company is to be 30,000/., in shares of 100/. each. If the Company succeed in their expectations, the value of houses in Brighton must be materially improved. Sir RUFANE DONKIN has just published an answer (in the form of a letter to the publisher of the Quarterly Review), to an attack that lately appeared in that Journal, on his Theory re specting the probable termination of the Niger. This answer is characterized by much adroit and ready sarcasm. It is also satisfactory in its line of argument, and proves by irrefragable demon stration, that in noticing his book, the Reviewer has done gross injustice to the spirit and tendency of Sir RUFANE DONKIN'S Theory. The Gal lant General, it seems, is not only made to say, that which he did not say, and never even dreamed of ; but is actually condemned on the authority of the two BEECHEY'S, when on re ferring to those travellers, their arguments so far from being averse to, are found to be wholly in Favour of Sir R. DONKIN'S arguments. This, to say the least of it, is very unworthy the high reputation of a Quarterly Reviewer, and is alto gether out of place in a work which professes to guide on the purest principles the literary and moral taste of England. But in the Gallant General the critic has met with his match. If he has erred, be has been made to pay the full penalty of his error, and if he has unintentionally misrepresented facts, misquoted authorities, and misunderstood theories, Sir RUFANE has given him an opportunity of cor recting himself, and returning in his future re marks to that candid line of argument, which should be the first and dearest boast of a Re viewer. One point in this critic's observations we cannot refrain from noticing. It is singularly discreditable to his candour. He has condemned Sir RUFANE on the authority of his maps ; when the Gallant General himself has expressly said that they were not meant to be correct, but simply to furnish forth a slight idea of the Theor: he would wish to demonstrate !

Yesterday was an interesting day to the admirers of aquatics residing in Vauxhall, South Lambeth, Kenning ton, &c , it being the annual contest among the Vauxhall watermen for various prizes. On this occasion a new wherry was given by Mr. T. Baylis, of the George and Dragon, Vauxhall, and in addition to which about 20 so vereigns were subscribed by the inhabitants of the vicinity, thus making several very handsome prizes worth competi tion. The following were the men who contended for the prizes, all of whom belonged to Vauxhall Stairs : S. Leonard and R. Lewis S. Avill and W. Brumwell Pink. A. Hallam and W. Winter Purple. H. Jones and R. Atkins Green. G. Bartlett and G. Rippen Yellow. R. Leonard and R. Croker White. G. Brumwell and G. Groves Scarlet. J. Baker, jun., and G. Gallaway The match was decided in three heats, and the distance rowed in each was, from Vauxhall-bridge, round a boat moored off Tuggy's mill, down the North Shore, round Carey's Bath, and back to the Prize Wherry off Sullivan's, V a uxhall-bridge. Purple and Green won the first heat, and Scarlet and Yellow the second. The winners of the first and second heats then rowed for the grand heat, and came in as follows :—Green first, Scarlet second, Purple third, and Yellow fourth. Green received the new boat, and about 201. was distributed among the others. MR.

Extract of a letter from the Frontiers of Hungary, August 5 :—lt was reported here that the Russian army was only 24 miles from Adrianople, where the greatest consternation prevailed; but we have received letters from the above town which do not confirm this report, and state that every thing was in movement to defend the defiles of Strandja, a branch of the Balkan, which the Russian army must pass to arrive in the Sandjar, and it was not believed at Adrianople that the enemy would hazard the passage of their defiles, where a few hundred men could prevent the passage of an army, as it is known that in these mountains corps of Spahis are sta tioned to defend them, and their cavalry are mounted with horses accustomed to climb the ravines, where the most expert horses of the Cossacks must use the greatest precaution in advancing. It is reported that 20,000 Greeks and Armenians have received orders to work at the fortifications before Constanti nople. Accounts from Hamburg state that the Russian Government have freighted 20 Danish ships, 30 English, and eight French, to carry provisions and ammunition to the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean. We have no arrivals this morning of the least im port, not even a single ship letter, consequently there is a very great dearth of information. Consols, which left off yesterday at 89 for the Account, opened at the same price. Since which they have been done at 89i and 88i for money. This day being the anniversary of the fire of Lon don the Royal Exchange will be closed till one o'clock. It is also a holiday at the Bank; but the Stock Exchange and the Foreign Market are open.

TWO O'CLOCK. Owing to the absence of intelligence the Consol market has remained stationary during the whole of the morning at 89k, alternately buyers and sellers, with little or nothing doing; and for money 88i-, buyers. The City Capitalist, who is the chief spirit of the market, being now absent on a tour to Paris, it is not expected that any speculations of importance will take place until his return. The Foreign market is as dull as that of the British. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 89k. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There are again good arrivals of foreign Corn, but not much English. The quantity of Flour is fair. The trade for Wheat to-day is heavy, most of the New samples left on Monday are so damp as to be nearly unsaleable, good Old Wheat in consequence is no cheaper to-day. Barley, Beaus, and Pease, are unaltered. Good heavy Oats main tain their prices, but in other sorts there is very little do ing. The Flour trade has become very heavy at our last quotations.

We understand from good authority that the independent borough of Carrickfergus, in the county 'Antrim, mean to contest the representation of that borough at the next general election, and that Mr. LAWLESS has been encouraged to come forward as the candidate. We also understand that the friends of civil and religious liberty in London have determined to support Mr. LAW LESS in the contest. The recent departure of an illustrious an nuitant has given occasion or an infinite deal of gossip among the few loungers who yet frequent the Saloons of the West. The plea of bad health being abandoned as un tenable, three other causes are assigned fur the Princely emigration—the first, that it is his Highness's intention to renew his boasage in a certain Imperial quarter, where, if report speaks true, it has already been rejected, but the field is supposed to be now more open by the demise of a redoubted Chamberlain, the late unoculus inter caws of an Italian establishment ; the second, that it is preliminary to the avowal of a left-handed marriage with a fascinating German vocalist ; the third, that it proceeds from motives of economy, as the original lies angusta Domi is sup posed to warrant a reduction of expenditure during a Continental sojourn, which would not be looked upon with a favourable eye in this country. —Morning Paper. The enormous incomes received by the Soli citors for the different Public Boards, in the shape of Bills of Costs, have latterly excited much observation ; and the case of the Solicitor for the Post Of f ice, whose salary was almost nominal, but whose emoluments amounted to two or three thousand a year, has been much dwelt upon.— This case, bad as it confessedly is, is yet a trifle to the abuses of a similar nature lately prevalent in Ireland.— We speak from direct personal cognizance of the fact, when we say that the first Bill of Costs received by a former solicitor to tha Irish Excise amounted, after taxation, to the almost incredible stun of twenty.seven thousand pounds ! It is true that the Solicitor in question has been displaced, and a successor appointed with:a fixed salary, but not before the individual alluded to had realized an enor . , mous fortune, on which he now lives splendidly and Iran ; quilly, and laughs at the Reform, which, he says, came a i day too late. —Morning Chronicle, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DO) BOW-STREET.

DIC. SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY—(SIXTH DAY.) I The Court again assembled this morn in g at the use d hour. It is thought the case for the prosecution will clod to-morrow (thiS . day), when an adjournment will 141/1 place till Monday, to give Captain Dickenson an opport e ; nity to prepare his defence, and it is supposed he will bins' in less than two days. The Court now proceeded to enquire into the 6th 1 111 j 7th charges. That the refitting of the Genoa for leAviog Navarin was unjustifiably slow, and the same slacknetiq prevailed on her way to Malta. That the Genoa's mas t was suffered to go by the board for want of being secured. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE requested Sir E. Codringtoo to state to the Court what information he could as to the 6th and 7th charges. Sir E. CODRINGTON--My opinion is that the Goat has not suffered so much as other ships of the English line' At daylight in the morning of the 21st of October, e ° looking round the fleet with my glass to observe the ceo' tion of the various ships and their exertions in refitting' appeared to me that the Genoa was more slack than O r other; there appeared a want of activity in sec urin g the, masts and fitting the rigging ; whilst I was looking st be f ; with anxiety to see how she got on, I observed the 00.4.- mast, about eight o'clock in the morning , to go ove rhce" o I did not see any measures adopted to prevent such 1t event ; to the best of my recollection the mizen to e had not been struck. r ? By the PRESIDENT—What was the state of the wet'ea, Sir EDWARD-There was no swell , the wind was 00,71: land. It was the beginning of a severe gale. I ant persuaded the strength of the wind was th e cause of t' mizen mast going overboard. n ea The ADVOCATE-GENERAI,-.-Did you send the ...- assistance, Sir Edward ? Sir E. CODRINGTON-I did. I begged Capt. Omins eel f would go to the quarterdeck and desire Captain Curia so, any other officer on deck, to make a signal to the Ges , that she would send an officer and watch of the shiP e company to assist her, and notwithstanding that assistai e she was the last ship reported to me ready to quiti.t,„o harbour. The next, or some subsequent day , the Aly,..'",t and the Genoa came up with the Asia , and seeing tr,-11 the Genoa had the means of using all her plain sa ils, he' i upon her foremast and mainmast, by way of as certsie in i, I her condition in this respect, I made a signal to make s„i possible sail, in consequence of which she made addition' sail, and ran a-head of the Asia without the least diffic°4 ; Considering, therefore, it was no injury to the sh i p of e ra geer which retarded her progress, but that it a rose fn: j the same slackness which I observed throughout, I orde r '', her by signal to make the best of her way to Malta. kn e the Asia arriving there, I found her at anchor , sud a%e was reported to me to have arrived the day before.- - ( o f numerous extracts of the log were read, corroborati ve Sir Edward's evidence.) By Captain INGLEFIELD - Will Sir Edward Codtieg; ton state to the Court, whether the signals he made to o;,i Genoa were obeyed as far as the means of that ship neui permit? Sir EDWARD - They were obeyed imme diate ic Captain GORDON - Did you find any fault otli ei '. l o with Captain Dickenson verbally, or otherwise, reepec ti r the slackness of the Genoa, either in her refittal Or , 0 ) , passage to Malta? Sir EDWARD—I do not think I except in the manner which I have already deposed toile , Cross-examined by Captain DrcxElasow—l think at r first of your examination this morning, which is not it serted in the minutes, you stated that, in your public 0 * spatches with an account of the battle , yon said the Gei'iot was not injured so much as the other ships ; was not t.di your statement? sir : E. CODRINGTON-I did not with the account of the battle; I think I wro te to ty Admiralty to that effect after our arrival at Malta. 0 1, What was the amount of the return of the wounded on board the Asia ?—The list was st affpro du. Captain 03111ANEY being called was requested to 0 to the Court what he knew of the 6th and 7th charg e k stated as follows. On the morning of the 24th of Ca lled e(!°: . as I was going from the Albion to the A sia, board the Genoa as soon as the people had had 031:0 breakfast. The ship seemed to be in great confusion.iti, soon as I got on board the Asia, I was taken to the tbl i miral in his cabin, and I told him it appeared to Ins the Genoa would not be ready for some time, and ! iir , gested to him that it might expedite the Genoa's eq—'ol ment, if he would order . an officer and a watcbrosr,:o either of the large frigates to assist her. He replied, je to Captain Curzon, and tell him to make a signal to Glasgow to that effect." Which I did. I cannot et., if there was any unjustifiable tardiness or not in w equipment.

On the following morning signal w as res, tbt, the Genoa to make all possible sail to proceed itesoA port of Malta rendezvous. Shortly after the f tbel passed the Admiral and Albion , before the close of day. Upon the Albion's arrival at Malta , we :Veer— that the Genoa had arrived on the day before. o refr That the Genoa's mizen mast was suffered to go du board was the next part of the charge, on the day t h the battle. Capt. Ommaney was unable to spea k part of the charge. u ,as PRESIDENT-Do you know that the squadron b e it tarried sailing in consequence of the Genoa ne t _ ,„ v ii ready ? Captain Ommaney — l ha d n o mea ns of k to, whether she was ready for sea as soon as the Ala°. Asia. To a question from Captain Elliott as to w hethe r t Genoa was in such a state on the morning he ' v i e : board her, he would satisfy him that she was equa l "; $ l, own ship, he said it would be impossible to give an 8 b•I' without he knew the comparative capabilities of th eel / company, ;but he was certainly of opinion that the was much better regulated than the Genoa. leas ryas board the Asia, and in that vessel every thing r_l o.° as /i I i on with regularity and silence, while on board the ueoi there was a great deal of noise, and he was o f opinild the affairs of a ship can be more speedily executed in s i The Hon.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE. I , - • . We have been compelled to defer our notice Ili; of this popular miscellany till to-clay. Its open i.l:: ing article on " Domestic Politics" is penned in a vein of consummate eloquence and energy, but -is throughout untenable in its facts. Indeed, it reverses the usual order of things, and contrives to build up a goodly and imposing superstruc ture on a very sorry foundation. The writer displays infinite ingenuity, and much special pleading, but is mistaken in every one of his . premises. • He argues, in the first place, that the country is on the verge of ruin—a fact which party spirit usually contrives to find out and dilate on, at least once or twice a year, with no more reason than at present—secondly, that the existing Administration is incompetent and 0 unworthy of support from the nation. To these tw o last charges we reply decisively in one word. The present Government carried the Catholic Question ! This one simple fact will be remem bered to its honour, when all the Ultra-Tories who ever yet burdened tile country with their locust -lik e visitation, lie mouldering and for gotten. " Conversazione" is a smart dialogue, .tinged, however, with the taint of ill-judged • politics. " Walks in Ireland" is a lively characteristic description of that well-known place of Irish amusement, Donnybrook Fair, and that equally well known pugilist Sir Daniel Donnelly, who is made, in Isis own quaint original manner, to detail the particulars of a visit he once paid to the " Prence Ilagin" at Carlton House, on • which occasion he went up to tile Palace gate, and " gave a little asy rap to show I wasn't proud," — a specimen of condescension on the illustrious pugilist's part, that cannot be too highly appreciated. " Aly Inabilities" is a pas sable enough article, with some pretensions to satire. " Condition of the West Indian Slave Population" is a temperate and able paper. ‘c The Man of 111 Omen" is an admirably written tale, replete with humour and incident. In its. , style it is quite epigrammatic. We subjoin a specimen : " A man is never fitter for a hero than when he has nothing to lose ; and as I compared the shrivelled wretches that had robbed me, with my own full shaped and sinewy limbs, I determined to begin by the usual end of heroism, and turn collector of that harvest which one man sows and another man reaps, which asks neither plough nor sickle, and which finds its most arable field in the high road.— ] ly resolution might be slow, but my execution was rapid. After a day and a night's march, I reached a small forest, Where I sheltered myself at once from sight and from sun. shine. A little village was at one end of it—an Arab saint's tomb at the ether. In the shrine 1 found a priest, who, instead of saying his prayers, was luxuriously in dulging himself on his carpet with coffee and a pipe. The • sight was irresistible. I sprang upon him, knocked him down with my naked hand, and, before he could recover the blow or his astonishment, was master of his breakfast, his purse, his carpet, and his pipe. Never was Mullah more completely cleared of the temptation of this world. Rut I ought to have robbed him of his voice ; for , long before I could wind my way through the thicket, I heard it calling after me iu all the names that African tongues ever showered on the head of the spoiler. The whole vil ' lege was instantly up in arms ; and where every living creature, from the child of three years old to the man of a hundred, carries his carbine or his bow as regularly as his bead, I may be supposed to have been in dang er. I fled turough the forest like a hare. Shots fell thick among the brambles round me. I saw the shrine, sprang in, and the • Baines bones had thenceforth the honour of my companion ship. None thought of looking for me there. The 1 4fillah's business was done with his morning visit : he had come to feed on the offerings, and he hated ultra activity as much as if he had been King of Spain. The villagers dreaded the resting-place of so much sanctity, and would have cut the throats of half mankind rather than violate it by an intrusive sten. So, in that spot I re mained a week, incomparably - fed, so far as African ban quets go—thriving in flesh, though horribly ennuied. But my trial drew to a close. One morning I observed alarge, heavy-built man, with a countenance in which guile, good humour, dulness, and a love of good eating, were moulded in every line, prowling about the tomb. My first idea was to treat him as I had done the Mullah. But I was too Well-fed to be hungry ; and the best time to meet even the tiger is notoriously after he has had his breakfast. Wrap . Ped in my carpet, I approached the investigator courte ously. He at first cocked his pistols ; but his alarm was turned into rapture when he discovered that I was human. He had come out on a three months' journey to explore the site of the temple of Jupiter Ammon. He was an ' English linen-draper, who, having acquired a taste for , more sublime pursuits in one of the brilliant institutions of ' his country of philosophers, had thrown aside the mea suring of long-cloth for the measuring of every stone within his reach. I found him at once civil and sullen, crafty and gullible. I gave him full opportunity for the exercise of his genius—cordially invited him to the hospi talities of the shrine—sold it to him, bones and all, for a •• sum of money which would have purchased an African principality—presented him with half .a-dozen inscriptions in a dialect invented for the occasion, on the strength of which he made up his mind to canvass his Royal Society ; and, to complete his raptures and his collection, suffered Lim to sketch me in my carpet, as a native chieftain in the original costume of the Pharaohs. Till now all went on swimmingly; but there was still a delicate transaction to settle between us. I applied to him for the purchase looney of the tomb, out of the enormous bag of dollars that he carried on his camel. The antiquarian asked for delay. 1 saw the esprit boutiquier.• rising within hint ; and, as his friend, I desired to lay it. He offered me a bill at an immense date; but my affairs required expedition. I refused the offer, and calmly told him that those who attempted to injure me were always unlucky. He was probably glad of the excuse for a quar rel ; and he replied by one of those In ief phrases in which Englishmen couch such ready opinions of every thing that stands in their way. I remembered his pistols, and bade bhn a very good night. How lie enjoyed soy wish, I can not tell to this hour ; for I no sooner perceived the moon to go down, than I emerged from my lair, piled one of his camels with his trunk, slung the hag of dollars over the hump of the other, and instantly set off at a steady pace of seven miles au hour. " Montesquieu, Bellew, and Lawyer Shell' does great injustice to the abilities, both natural and acquired, of the latter gentleman. There is, too, an appearance of spleen and rancour about the article which cannot be mistaken. " Notes on the Month" are as usual, lively, desultory, and satirical. On the whole the present number is a very superior one. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Justice BUR- r honort continues very unwell at Bridgewater. Mr. I PexiglNGTen visited him on Sunday last, and that gen tleman's teport of his health is by no mea ns favourable. I STORM AND INUNDATION.—It is with feelings of a most painful nature we announce to our dis tent readers, that we are again visited with a truly alarm ing storm, which is raging with tremendous fury at the Moment at which we write--Thursday afternoon, four o'clock. There is a melancholy similarity in the present storm to the ever-memorable one of the 3d inst., which Las spread desolation and misery to so mournful an extent throughout the North of Scotland, hut which has been Peculiarly devastating in its effects in the county of Elgin. The storm which is now exhausting itself round about us enntmenced yesterday (Wednesday) evening a little after nine o'clock—since which time it bas not had a moment's cessation. We had fondly hoped last night, that before the dawning of this morning, it would have spent itself; but we have been disappointed. In the course of the night it greatly increased in its fury ; and this morning, and during the whole of the day, has blown one of the greatest; hurricanes we ever remember to have witnessed. While Ole winds have been tearing slates and tiles off houses, and uprooting trees, the rains have descended, and are descend ing in prodigious torrenti. Alma ly we have too great 1.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Charles Taphouse, a labouring man, was charged with assaulting Victoire Watson, a native of France, who has become a street-walker. The complainant stated, that as she was standing on Ludgate-hill, about eleven o'clock on Monday night, the prisot,ur without the least provocation, laid hold of and destroyed her bonnet, value 10s. The prisoner's defence was, that the woman ob structed him, and used scandalously indecent lan guage to him. Mr. Williams, one of the Common Councilmen of Farringdon Within, witnessed the transaction, which would not have occurred if the watchman had done his duty, and had not wilfully abstained from interfering until the altercation ripened into a matter that he could bring before a magistrate and make a job of. Sir PETER LAURIE was aware that the system of ordering prisoners to pay watchmen for causing them to lose their time would produce the feeling among them which Mr. Williams had described as existing in this case. Mr. Williams said the bringing up of charges be fore the magistrates was so profitable, that it was calculated among the watchmen themselves that a beat in Fleet-street was worth a guinea a week more than one in Holborn. If Pickering had re moved the women as soon as they crossed to him, the assault would not have been committed, but he puposely waited till something was done. If this had happened in Farringdon-within, he should have suspended the watchman instantly; but as it was, he could oily represent the affair to the Common Council of the other ward,which he had already done. Sir P. LAURIE ordered the prisoner to make some recompense for the damage he had done, upon complying with which he was discharged. BOW-STREET. Yesterday three gentlemen, one of whom was a solicitor, appeared before the sitting Magistratea; Mr. HALLS and Sir R. BIRNIE, to ask for advice and assistance under the following circumstances: — The solicitor appeared on behalf of a respectable lady, who was now an inmate of the Fleet prison, in consequence of a gross breach of trust on the part of a person who had represented himself to be a so licitor, and who, under that representation, had ob tained from the lady in question the sum of 10/., with a view, as she supposed, of effecting her libe ration from a sponging -house, by means of bail. The lady was arrested about a fortnight ago, and conveyed to a lock-up house in the neighbourhood of Blackfriars-road. Having mentioned her desire to give bail for the debt, a Mr. H. was introduced to her, and representing himself to be a solicitor, told her that for 101. he could procure bail, and that in the evening she might obtain her liberation. He then left his name and address, and promised to re turn in the course of the day. The lady having mentioned the circumstance to some of her friends, reference was had to the Law List, but the name of the person who had represented himself to be a so licitor could not be found there. In the course of the day he returned, and the lady mentioned to him that she had looked over the Law List, and could not find his name amongst the solicitors.—" Oh," said he, " I assure you that I am a regular solicitor, in proof of which you may see my certificate," at the same time drawing from his pocket a piece of parchment, which appeared to be the document he had mentioned. He then stated that his connections were most respectable, and men tioned the name of a gentleman who had lately carried on the business of a banker, and to whose sister he said he had been married within a short period. Deceived by these representations, and anxious to obtain her liberation from a place the ex pence of which was but ill-suited to her circum stances, the lady caused a letter to be written in her name, to a gentleman belonging to the Admi ralty, (Mr. Crofton Croker), requesting, as a par ticular favour, that he would send her 10/., which should be placed to his account, he being a lodger in, the lady's house at Barnes. The lady having signed the letter, handed it unsealed to the supposed solicitor, who lost no time in presenting it to the gentleman to whom it was addressed, and by whom he was paid the required 10/. without the slightest hesitation. The lady fully depending upon the good faith of her supposed solicitor, made arrange ments to return to her home in the evening, but when the hour arrived at which she expected to be liberated, no solicitor appeared, and she was obliged to pass another night in the sponging-house at an additional expence. The next morning she sent a friend to the Admiralty, and there learned that the 10/. had been paid in her name to the party who had brought the letter. She then sent to the ad dress of the sham solicitor, but found that he did not reside there ; and although every exertion was used to discover his residence in the course of the day, no tidings could be had of him. Finding that she had been completely duped, and being totally unable to bear any longer the heavy expence to which she had been subjected, she was obliged to submit to circumstances, and in the evening was con veyed to the Fleet prison, where she was still con fined. Under these circumstances, the solicitor said he came to ask advice, and to know if the Magis trates would feel any objection to issue a warrant or summons to compel the appearance of the party of whose act he had complained. Sir R. BIRNIE—But you say he is not to be found ? Solicitor—He does not live at the address which he gave to the lady, but we know where he does reside. Mr. HALLS had some doubts that a criminal charge would lie against the party. Sir R. BIRNIE thought that a person obtaining money in the mariner described was guilty of steal ing it. At all events he had been guilty of an act of gross dishonesty. Mr. HALLS asked if the party had not obtained the letter by means of which he possessed himself of the money, in the county of Surrey : The Solicitor replied in the affirmative, but added that the money had been obtained in Middlesex. Mr. HALLS observed, that application must be made to the Surrey Magistrates, the offence having been committed there. The parties then retired. THE FORGERY UPON THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.—On Sunday evening Taunton, sen., and Smith, the principal officers, arrived in London, from Taunton, in Devonshire, bringing in their custody, two men, named Maynard and West, whom they apprehended on the charge of being concerned in committing the forgery upon the Custom-house, for which a man named Jones was sent for trial from this office on last Friday se'nnight. On Monday afternoon the prisoners underwent an examination before Sir R. Birnie, when the follow ing facts appeared in evidence, the publication of which may tend to correct the many erroneous state ments which have gone forth respecting this case : It is the practice of the Comptrollers of Customs at the different outports to make monthly returns to the Commissioners of the Custom-house in Lon don of the receipts and expenditure of their respec tive districts, and there are some ports at which the receipts not only are not sufficient to cover the out lay, but which at certain periods of the year requirel considerable advances from the chief establishment to defray the current expenses. Where this is the case the Comptroller of Customs at the port at which the advance is required, sends up what i 3 called a " Precept," addressed to time Chief Commissioners, who sign it, and on its being presented to the Re ceiver General, he gives a cheque upon the Bank of England for the amount required, and it is paid as a matter of course, and the amount remitted to the Comptroller in the country, whose duty it is to send up a receipt by return of post. The Re ceiver-General gives the cheque upon seeing the precept properly signed by the three Commissioners. On Saturday, between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, a precept for 1,973/., purporting to be signed by the Comptroller of Fowey, in Cornwall, and by Mr. Lushington and two other Commis sioners of Customs, was taken to the Receiver- General, who had no suspicion of the genuineness of the document, and who signed a cheque upon the Bank of England for the amount of the precept. On the same day a man presented the cheque at the Bank, it was paid in one note of 1,000/., for 5001., and four for 50/. each, two for I Oct, and the rest in .51. notes and sovereigns. The afternoon, just before the time of closing at 11. Bank of England, a man presented the same nut.• for 1,000/., and one of those for 50/., which had been given for• the cheque from the Receiver-Gen. of Cus toms in the morning, and received sovereigns for the Whole amount. During that same day a young clerk at the Custom-house happened to have the precept in question in his hand, and on looking at the signatures, he expressed a doubt as to that which purported to be Mr. Lushington's, observing that the turn of the last letter was of a different kind from that usually made by that gentleman. This simple circumstance gave rise to inquiry, and it was ascertained that the precept had never passed the: Commissioners, and that their signatures were forged. Smith, the officer, was immediately sent for, and on an examination of the forged precept it was found to be of the same printed form which was used by order of the Custom-house, and printed by the printer regularly employed for the etablisli merit. At the time that this investigation was go ing on, the man Jones, who is now in Newgate as a principal in the transaction, was present with the Commissioners, and was actually sent by them to the printer's, to ascertain if the form of the precept was printed by him, so little suspicion was then en tertained of his having any participation in the for gery. In a few days after, the officer ascertained that one of the .5/. notes, paid at the Bank for the cheque, had been passed by a baker, near Kennington-com mon, to a miller at Dartford, and this note was traced to have been paid by the mother of a female who passed by the name of Maynard, and who lived in Cla tendon-street, Walworth. Smith upon this set a watch upon the house where this woman lived,and found that she and two men, named Maynard and West, with the wife -of the latter and the mother of the former, were all lodging together. For more than a month Smith had two men to watch for Maynard and West but the blinds were constantly drawn close, and they never appeared ; and when the females walked our, their conduct was such as to confirm the suspicions which Smith had previously entertained. At length, one morning, when the system of watching had a little relaxed, the whole party disappeared, but were traced to Hill -street, Kennington-common ; from thence back to Walworth ; and finally to Hoxton, where they bought furniture, arid took apartments sufficient for the whole, at 1/. Bs. per week. In the mean time the prisoner Jones had been apprehended, and, as soon as the statements respecting him had appeared in the newspapers, Smith's emissaries, who were still watching the house at Hoxton, saw symptoms of an intention to remove ; and, yesterday se'nnight, at an early hour in the morning, a broker was called in, and bought the goods, and soon after Mrs. West, Mrs. Maynard (as she is called), and her mother, with two children and a servant, got into two hackney coaches, and were driven to the New North-road, and there put down, and there the officers lost sight of them. The numbers of the coaches, however, were known, and it was ascer tained on the following day, that the women and children had gone to the Bull, in Aldersgate•street, where they were joined by two men, and that they de parted for Taunton, by the North Devon coach. Smith and Taunton left town immediately, and on their ar rival - at Taunton, found West, Maynard, and the whole party at tea at one of the inns. When they entered the room and made known their business, West and Maynard showed great alarm, and at tempted to escape, but were immediately secured. Maynard was particularly agitated, and begged the officers to let him go. The latter ascertained, upon inquiry, that the whole party were bound to Liver pool, and from thence to America. They were conveyed to London in carriages and four, where the women Were discharged and the men were brought up on Monday and re-examined. West was stated then to be the man ,who got the note for 1,0001., and that for 50/., changed at the Bank, and Maynard was proved to have paid one of the 51. notes received for the original cheque to a person on the same day that the money was obtained. Smith and Taunton produced 6971. and some silver, • which they found in the possession or the prisoners. West and Maynard denied any participation in the forgery, and were remanded for further examina tion. _ . In the evening of the same day, Smith took into custody the woman called Mrs. Maynard, and her mother, and they were brought before Sir R. Birnie, and remanded after a short examination. It was said, but we do not pledge ourselves for the truth of the statement, that Jones will be ad mitted on evidence against West and Maynard. MARLBOROU GH-STREET. Yesterday a man named John Monter was brought before Sir G. FARRANT and Mr. ROE, the Magis trates, charged with being the ringleader in a despe rate attack made upon Clements and Goddard, two of the officers belonging to this office, while in the execution of their duty. It appeared that a few days ago a gentleman named \Vhitehead, residing in Saville-place, put an advertisement in a morning paper offering a reward of two guineas for the recovery of a small but beautiful spaniel dog, of the Marlborough or Blen heim breed, which is now almost extinct. On Fri day last, in consequence of this advertisement, a man named Sergeant waited upon Mr. \Vhitehead, and said, that from the description given of the dog in the advertisement, he was sure that he knew the men who had it, and if he (Mr. Whitehead) would give him (Sergeant) something for himself besides the two guineas for the man who really had the dog, be (Sergeant) did not doubt but he would be able to recover the animal. Mr. Whitehead said, that he would not hesitate to give something more than the two guineas if Sergeant would proAuce the dog ; and asked him how he happened to know the man who had the dog. Sergeant replied, that to tell the truth he saw the man who had the dog steal it, and he knew who he was very well, but at the same time it would be quite impossible to recover the dog without the reward. Mr. Whitehead then de manded of Sergeant to know who the man was that had the dog, and told him that as he had seen it stolen, he was a particeps criminis, and if he did not tell where the dog was, he himself should be taken into custody. Sergeant still refused to tell who the man was that had the dog, and he was in conse quence given into the custody of a constable by Mr. Whitehead, and brought to this office, where, before the Magistrates, he also positively refused to divulge where the dog was, although Mr. Whitehead was still ready to pay the two guineas. After being locked up, however, until Saturday, the prisoner Sergeant sent for Mr. Plank, the chief officer, and told him that if an officer were sent with him to a certain place in the city, he had no doubt he could produce the dog, if the two guineas were there paid for recovery of it as advertised; and ac cordingly the Magistrate directed Goddard arid Cle ments to accompany the prisoner in a hackney-coach to the place in question, but still to hold his com mitment, and whether the dog were recovered or not, to bring the prisoner back to the office, in order to his regular discharge. When the officers arrived at Shoreditch with the prisoner and one of Mr. Whitehead's servants to identify the dog if pro duced, the prisoner led them to a public-house called the Feathers, near Shoreditch church ; and on en• tering the house the prisoner led the way on throe; a long passage to a bark parlour, situate in a very retired part of the premises. The prisoner now, as a preliminary to any proceeding for the recovery of the dog, insisted that the two guineas should be placed in the hands of the landlord of the house, to be paid by him to the person who should produce the dog, and Clements accordingly gave the two guineas to the landlord, telling him, however, not to part with them without his (Clements's) sanction. The money thus deposited, Sergeant called to a man who was at the other end of the room, and told him to go and b r ing such a dog, describing it, and that . " was all right," time landlord had the reward. The man thus spoken to went out for a short time, and coon 'returned with Mr. Whitehead's spaniel, which immediately recognized Mr. Whitehead's ser :int, :it'd jumped and fawned upon him with the '1 a.l.ed who was entitled But t hi, ipiestion neither Ser ;:ealit tini the ;:, l n r ho brougllt 'he flor, in would re ply in heir ok, a fawn;, hecaase that ,‘ wild be an ad mission.of their having stolen the dog, and in this state of things the officers said that the most satisfactory way would be for all parties to go again before the Magistrate with the dog, and then the atrair could be arranged without further difficulty. Sergeant, h lwever, declared that he would not go again before any Magistrate for all the police in London; and Plomer, the present prisoner, who brought in the dog, declared the same, and making a signal at the door, in rushed between twenty and thirty of the most desperate thieves in London. The officers now saw that they were in a most peculiar situation, knowing the desperate characters they had to deal with, and they attempted to remonstrate and reason with the gang; but this only made the latter more resolute, who were now coming to close quarters with the officers. The entire efforts of the officers were directed to securing their prisoner Sergeant and the dog; but even in this they had to encounter obstacles which they feared would be attended with the loss of life. A general rush, led on by Plomer, was made by the gang to rescue the prisoner Sergeant from the officers, using the most horrid imprecations and threats. The officers still held their man, while the prisoner himself fought and kicked in the most deSperate way to escape : and so entirely were the officers engaged in defending themselves and holding their prisoner against the dreadful efforts made to rescue him, that they could not manage to handcuff the prisoner, nor could they gain a moment's t►me to draw out their pistols or their staffs. Over and over again were the officers brought to the ground, but as often did they bring their prisoner down with them, and kept fast their hold. The thieves now made a desperate attempt to destroy the poor dog, and drew out knives, with which tl*y. ,were all armed, to cut off its bead, and die officers soon ex pected to have these frightful weapon's directed against themselves. It is only doing justice to Mr. Rymer, the landlord of the house, to state, that in all this conflict he took a decided part with the officers, and fought most manfully in their aid; but the gang was so numerous that they kept Mr. Rymer sepa rated in a great degree from the officers, so that his assistance could not be so availing as it otherwise would have been. His threats, however, and his bold language to the thieves, evidently daunted them, and to Mr. Rymer's conduct the officers mainly attribute the preservation of their lives, and the gang not having used their knives. — When the conflict was renewed in the passage, and the officers nearly exhausted, but still holding their prisoner, who every instant struggled to get at his own knife, to " stick" them, as he said, they called to a soldier of one of the regiments of Life Guards, who was standing at the bar in the passage, to assist them in the King's name,—that they were officers, and that their lives were in danger; but instead of attempting to aid them, although they only required him to hold the prisoner for an instant, while they handcuffed him, the soldier clapped his arms a-kimbo and told them he would see them first. The officers were now nearly overpowered, and must soon have relinquished their hold on the prisoner, and one of the villains had just, too, got hold of the dog to cut his head off, and was forcing it from the servant's aims for that purpose, when Mr. Rymer, with a desperate effort, rushed between them, and suddenly opening a side door that led another way into the 'street, he shoved the officers and the pri soner, followed by the young man with the dog out that way, and the whole tumbled headlong into the kennel, while Mr. Rymer at the same time closing the door, and clapping his back against it, shut the thieves inside ; and to this presence of mind and adroitness on the part of Mr. Rymer, the officers owe their ultimate success. The officers, now in the street, hurried off as well as they could with their prisoner, dragging him along, for he would not walk a single step, but kicked at them still in the most furious manner, while they held his hands to prevent his getting at his knife, and endeavoured to get him to a coach-stand, and force him into a coach, but the gang of thieves here overtook them.. having got out at the front door, and came up with them fortunately as the officers got near the door of a livery stable-keeper's premises, and instantly re newed the attack. The officers called for assistance to the livery stable-keeper .who stood at his gate, and begged to be admitted inside. At first the owner of the place refused to let any such in, he said, but very much to his credit, the moment the officers told him who they were, he admitted them and their pri soner, and shut the gate against all the others, the young man having in the mean time made his escape with the dog. The officers now, being the first mo ment that they could loosen their hold of their pri m soner, clapped a pair of handcuffs on him, and send ing for a hackney-coach, they determined to get him into it. In doing this, however, they were again attacked by the gang who waited for them outside; but the officers by this time had prepared their pis tols, with which they effectually kept the mob at bay, while with the assistance of the livery stable keeper and his men the prisoner was thrust into the coach, which drove off at full speed towards the office, leaving the gang behind. Even in the coach the prisoner renewed his desperate violence, and d►d all he could to kick the officers in a most dangerous place, until at last Goddard was obliged to seize one of the prisoner's legs while they bad him on his back in the bottom of the coach, and hold it by main force over his shoulder, while Clements held the other leg down ; and in this position they kept him until they got to the office, the prisoner bellowing all the way from the pain of cramp. The prisoner Sergeant being thus secured, a war rant was forthwith issued against Plomer, the leader of the gang who attacked the officers, and Clements and Goddard, accompanied by Garton and another officer from Worship-street-office, went to execute it. After a great deal of difficulty, they traced out the fellow's lodgings, but he was not himself at home when they got there, but they found, tied up in his room, another fine spaniel dog and a valuable terrier, both of which, a woman told them, had but recently been brought in by Plomer. The officers brought away these two dogs with them, which no doubt are stolen ; and en their next visit, which was yesterday morning, they found Phonier himself, and brought him away, too, in spite of a desperate resistance; and both himself and Sergeant were fined 101. each for the assaults upon die officers, and in default of payment were committed to the House of Correction for four months. Mr. Rymer returned the two guineas to the oflicers, and Mr. Whitehead has got his dog : so that the thieves lost the reward, the dog, and two of their gang. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Mr. Robert Carter, sen., a master builder, of 91, Drury lane, was placed at the bar, before Mr. MARRIOTT, charged with being a party concerned in the tubbing the desk of Mrs. Johanna O'Keefe, deceased, a lady of. fortune, who was a lodger in his house. After examination, the prisoner asked the magis trate if he could not be admitted to bail ? Mr. MAlimovr replied, that it was a most serious charge, and he could not think of such - a thing. The prisoner was then removed to Tothill-fields git prison. The New Monad' Magazine, this month, is peculiarly interesting to those who intend to make an autumnal trip to the Continent.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our city article refers to some failures in one great branch of our national manufacture—viz•, the woollen, which all must allow to be painful and lamentable, because of the individual distress which they occasion, but which are also spoken of in certain quarters as i❑ the highest degree " alarming." Whom, then ? we ask,—what bodies or classes of men, ought such failures to " alarm ?" This is a question which requires to be distinctly answered. It is still alleged every day in the week, as gravely as if it were not the most notorious of absurdities, that the relaxation of the prohibitory system, with regard to foreign goods, has been one great cause of the distress now experienced by the whole of our manuflic turing and commercial community. If this be so, it must necessarily follow, either that the raw rnateriali on which our weavers and other artisans work have been rendered more difficult of access to their masters, by the substitution of protecting duties on foreign wares for prohibi tions ; or that the foreign wares themselveL. have round an easier access to British consumption in consequence of the same change ; or that tile two effects have been concurrent. Take, for instance, any given branch of industry. was substituted for a prohibition in the case of silk. French silks bad formerly been c4nufz- .41 dot \ Bled into this country, and their safe delivery insured—for a premium of less than twenty per cent.—in spite of the positive prohibition. The British manufacturer, therefore, had to mai!:- tain a competition with the looms of France, aided only by an impost, a smuggler's insurance of 20 per cent. or thereabouts, orr . the .vrought silk, but burdened likewise by an enormous tak On the raw material of almost 4s, in the pound, beyond that which was exacted from his French rival. What, then, was done by the British go vernment ? It imposed a duty of more than 30 per cent. on the wrought silks of France, instead of 20, which hld been levied on the British consumer, by the smuggler ; and it took off, or reduced to a trifle not worth namii,, the oppressive duty on the raw material, hitherto paid by the English manufacturer, giving hint his raw silk for the price abroad and transport. Thus, instead of the raw material being less ac cessible to the British loom, and the foreign wrought fabric more so to the British market, the reverse has been the obvious consequence cat' our " free trade" legislation--free only, inasrnttch as it released the raw silk from fetters, and 'early doubled the weight of those which had seen borne by the French manufactured article. But the silk is not yet a staple of Great Britain. Let us look elsewhere for proofs. What kis "free trade" done to torment the iron-manufic tures ? or the cotton manufactures? or the woollen ? Has a fresh tax been imposed on raw cotton imported into England, or a tax taken off from foreign calicoes or muslins ? Yet the iron trade and cotton trade are severely de pressed, so with the woollens ! The duty on the foreign raw material there was lowered ; yet do we find the woollen houses bankrupt, 12 or 13 at once ! Are foreign woollen cloths, then, imported into England by virtue of free trade re gulations? It would be foolish to say so. We have, then, the silk trade actually extended by the new system. We have cottons, iron wares, and woollens, perfectly untouched by . it, except in so far as raw wool was made cheaper from abroad ; and yet the incendiaries who are wicked enough to recommend to the poor a universal 'spoliation of property wherever they can find it, are so stupid or impudent,as to ,allege that " free trade" has been the cause of our calamities.— Oh ! but there is another cause—the one-pound notes have been called in,—the proper circula tion has been diminished ! Read, then, the history of these same houses in the wool trade, and learn what paper can qualify its votaries to achieve. It is ascertained that the establish ments which have now crumbled into dust were huge dealers in paper—in accommodation paper —and, doubtless, noisy advocates for it ; that they were enakled, through the prevalence of this blessed expedient, to make false sales,—to draw fictitious bills,—to extend from day to day, during many years, the circle of their fraudulent transactions—to multiply the number of their miserable creditors—to aggravate in all its parts the ruin which they could not prevent, from finally crushing their own heads, and the inno cent thousands who trusted them. Such were the sweet effects of bank-note facility upon the business of men who, if they never had enjoyed it, would long ago have been forced to adopt more prudent and honest courses,—to refrain from speculation,—to live within their means, to leave off in time an unprofitable merchandise, or to become bankrupt at an earlier date, and, with less loss to others. The fact is, that there are causes operating which must be looked. at boldly, and represented honestly, if we wish to uphold the state. Our commerce teas on so im mense a scale as to embrace the consumption of the whole world ; but then it required a world's consumption for its aliment. That was a war Condition—an unnatural condition. In peace other countries felt the desire, and saw the pos sibility, of ministering to their own Wants ; and they have been much enabled to supply them selves by the transfer of Briti,,h capital to their dominions. England, therefore, must •sooher or later be content to let their neighbours share largely in that foreign commerce which once (and for years) was exclusively her own. She must contract her manufacturing theatre, and be come less absolutely an instrument of me chanical production ; the transition my be try ing, but it must and will take place. The taxes, moreover, must and will force themselves, and that rudely, upon the minds of statesmen, Eng land now, making allowance far the altered cur rency, raises more money by taxes than at the highest period of the war. Of the revenue so created, a tar larger proportion than at any pe riod of the war goes to the mere payment of in terest on the public securities ; that is to say, a far larger positive sum than when the loans were heaviest, and expences most enormous, Of the revenue so raised, and the burdens endured, a much more formidable portion falls on the mid dling and lower classes now than when the war waa raging. While the taxes have not in fact diminished, the price of labour and the profits on capital have, beyond a question, been fear and the general ability has been fully redrweJ, retrograding, as compared with the general pressure. Such things, we say, must be looked at manfully. They must be stated frankly ; they must be provided for as effectually as it is in human wisdom and virtue to legislate under grievous difficulties. We do not, like some persons, encourage the desperate to feed them selves by robbery, and to defend their spoil by murder ; but we admonish the rulers of the state not to disguise from themselves or others I

the hazards which every where surround them, that they may distinctly see their way, and be able to follow it with unflinching resolution.— Times. There has been no period of our history in which the intended measures of the Cabinet have been more studiously kept secret than at- the pre sent moment ; and, consequently, at no time were the rumours of projected innovations to be received with greater caution. Among these rumours no one has been more positively insist ed on, nor repeated in more various quarters, than that which states a determination to modify, in some way not precisely explained, the present Ecclesiastical Establishment in the ensuing Session of Parliament. We do not pretend to know on what foundation this generally received assertion rests, and are, consequently, ignorant of the degree of credit to which it is entitled— but of one fact we are perfectly certain, that at this moment official inquiries ate going on in Ireland, to ascertain exactly the annual amount of income, more particularly of the higher orders of the Church Preferments. We have heard that this very salutary inquiry is likely to excite considerable dissatisfaction, and that various sub terfuges will be resorted to for the purpose of rendering it incomplete and inaccurate ; but we hope and trust that it will be followed up in a proper spirit, and that any attempt at mystifica tion on the part of an incumbent will be promptly wid,vigorously met and defeated.—Morn. Chron. The Borris-o'kane trials must, we should think, satisfy the most bigotted worshipper of the mode of conducting judicial proceedings in this country, that whatever else it may be good for, it is' not good for the discovery of the truth. The Solicitor General, Mr. Doherty, had been solicited by Government to conduct an inquiry into the affair at Borris-o'kane, in which eight men were killed and twenty-one wounded. This inquiry gave Mr. Doherty all that knowledge of the transactions which on the Continent is pos sessed by the Judge of Instruction. Mr. Do herty, when the trials came on, knew more than is usually known by the Counsel for a prosecu tion ; he was acquainted with the whole case— that for the prosecution, and that for the defence. By the usage of the profession to which he be longs, he ought to have so conducted the pro secution as to have produced only those wit nesses whose evidence he might deem calculated to bring the men placed on their trial to the gal lows, and to. avail himself of every technical rule, every legal stratagem, to exclude, as much as possible, ad evidence calculated to place the conduct of the prisoners in a favourable light. An English trial has not for object the discovery of the truth; it is a fight conducted agreeably to ce rtain rules, in which the Counsel for the prose cution seeks to destroy the prisoner ; the Counsel for the prisoner to save him. When the Counsel succeeds in obtaining the conviction of an innocent man, his triumph is very great ; and the young Counsel who succeeds in rescuing a criminal from his merited fate is a made man. It is in pro portion to the evil he can do to others that a Counsel can do good to himself, In order to avoid any inconvenience from a too squeamish conscience, it is unfortunate for Counsel to be in the situation of Mr. Doherty. It is obvious that he would go about the business of preparing Melt fin- the hangman with more alacrity, by knowing no more of the case than is conducive to that end. And even without much conscience, a Counsel may feel uneasy that it should be known to others that he was in possession of evidence which satisfied him of the innocence of those whom he was striving to convict. He will go about his business, therefore, more gaily, if he is let into the knowledge of no more than he ought to know ; or, at least, if there is no proof of his knowing more, so that it may be impossible to reproach him with it. In the Borris-o'-kane trials, however, Mr- Doherty produced a witness, whose evidence he knew would be favourable to the prisoners ; and it being conceived' that he ought to have endea voured with all his heart and with all his soul to hang the prisoners, this conduct has given great offence. Let us hear a Correspondent of the Dublin Evening Post on the subject : " The recent mistake which was made was in the production of a Hanoverian Doctor upon the part of the Crown, when it was known that he would give evidence for the prisoners, If the pri soners were without Counsel, and could not have resorted to the Doctor unless the Crown had first produced him, there would have been much reason for puttiogthe Jury in possession of his view of the matter. But the Crown, by producing him in the first instance, destroyed their own case; for they could not impeach their own witness, anti they also deprived themselves of the advantage of cross-examination. I am sure that the Soli citor-General was only anxious to do substantial justice ; but he certainly should have bad a little more regard for popular opinion, and eon, stilted those appearances which are followed by so much practical result. Mr, Doherty laid down some strange maxims with regard to evi dence. He held that it was the duty a the Crown to produce every witness who could throw a light on the transaction. Has this rule been applied to other eases? and is it expedient to apply it, when it inverts the order 61 examina tion, and gives to the prisoner a benefit which is relinquished by the Crown for his advantage ? The production of this,Doetor exasperated Mr. Spain, . the parish priest of Borriskr -kane, and induced Mr. Lanigan to decline any further in terposition. The secession contributed, of course, to the popular distrust in the sincerity of the Crown." Whether Mr. Doherty would have shown the same anxiety to produce every witness who could throw a light on the transaction, had his employers been particularly interested. in itibtaining a contiction, as in this case they were interested in not exposing men whom they believed innocent to the chance of a conviction, it is for those who know Mr. Doherty to say-- e we are willing to presume charitably of him, to believe that he would not wish to be in any case accessary to the effusion of innocent blood, But what is important for our eonsideratien - is the view which is here given us of an English trial. Let us suppose, not that Police-men (whom it is the bounden duty of the Government to Assist with all possible means of enabling them to prove their innocence, the first duty of Government! being the preservation of order, and the preserva tion of order depending essentially on the con fidence of officers that if innocent they are certain of protection), but poor friendless men, were prosecuted at th e instance.of a rich and powerful individual. The Counsel for the prosecution, though he sees these. men without Counsel, or knows that their Counsel are not acquainted with th e whole of the case, or that they have not had means of producing the most essential witnesses ( w hi c h last is a common ease), must, neverthe less, keep back reluctantly all evidence which might throw light on the transactions, if that light he favourable to the prisoners. His busi ness is to endeavour to hang them—to earn his blood-money. He %di° prpduces a witness cannot cross-examine him, or do anything t o discredit his own witness ; and though a Coun sel may know that his witness is perjuring him self—though he may know that he is under some hallucination, he must not set him right by any question calculated to favour a prisoner, though the prisoner may be without the means of either cross-examining the witness effectually or contradicting him. No one in an English trial is responsible for the furtherance of the ends of justice. The committing Magistrate has only to see that there is cause for putting a prisoner on his trial. The getting up the prosecution is sub ject to no responsibility. A prosecutor, who has been bought over, can do exactly as he pleases. The defence is in like matter an acci dental affair. The prisoner may be rich or poor, powerful or friendless, clever or stupid. The Judge and Jury know nothing of the jobbing of the prosecutor, or the situation of the prisoner —they know only how the judicial game is con ducted when the parties are before them. The Judge has the advantage of the depositions be fore the Magistrate ; but how much or how little of the case is before the Court is known to no one but the parties. All this is favourable to rogues, as it favours escape,—it is favourable to Counsel, because their importance rises with the evil they can do. But it gives a very singu lar idea of the provisions for the furtherance of justice. Only think what a breast that man must have who knows that he was in possession of evidence which, for technical reasons, he with held, and by the withholding of which innocent men were led to the scaffold or the gallows ! Mr. Doherty, on the trial of four men for as saulting a constable, observed— " When they were told that the prisoners were put upon trial for an assault of such weight and atrocity, as will be exhibited in this case, they would admit that a more deplorable picture of the state of society in this country could not well be conceived, in which those ordinances that have been established with such wisdom by the Legislature are over turned—those laws which have been enacted for the benefit of society rendered nugatory. When such atrocities as he should state were perpetrated, might he not say that the impious excesses, so often committed in this county, were calculated to divert from it the blessings of God, with which it was so richly favoured ? This he said with as much affec tion for the county, with as much respect as was entertained for it by any one who heard him. I say, said the Solicitor-General, that the present state of this county is a disgrace to the age we live in. Good God ! how is it that in this fertile country, a country enjoying the blessings of an administra tion of laws boasted of in all other countries, and • found elsewhere sufficient for the protection of life and property, no man can be considered as living in any sort of peaceful security ? For though he may hold his life or property with a semblance of se curity, if he be himself a peaceable man—if he chance to escape tie hand of the assassin by the mercy of God, it is alone to the interposition of Providence that he owes it, if it be not in some way or other implicated in the turbulent transactions and scenes of bloodshed that disgrace this country. His Lordship, observed the Solicitor-General, from always being engaged in the civil business of this county, was not aware how many innocent- men have been brought to an untimc+y end by transac tions similar to that with which the prisoners are charged. It was calculated to raise grave and solemn inquiry how it is that it seems as if the bonds of society were unloosed—as if some un called-for warfare between man and man, when there existed such a contempt for everything like con stituted authority, but that authority must be trampled upon, brute force must be opposed to the execution of those laws that have been enacted fee the benefit of society, and without which it is im possible for one moment to maintain the frame of it." What a picture we have here ! This state of things is indeed a disgrace to the age we live in! It is not by palliatives that such a district is to be made orderly. It is obvious that the whole frame of society is disordered. The protection of the people by law must go hand in hand with the punishment of crime, if we wish to make any progress in the cure.—lbid. There prevails a practice at the . assizes in Ire land, which seriously compromises the dignity of the Bench and the interests of justice. We allude to the custom of allowing a culprit, on trial for a certain offence, to settle the affair by a inarriage with the prosecutrix in the dock. This is a dangerous and indecent practice, which ought not to be permitted to continue. It is indecent, because it throws an air of ridicule on the solemnities of justice ; and it is dangerous, because it affords encouragement to false accusa tions affecting the life of man. The prisoner who is given in charge to a Jury on tin indict ment alleging so grave and penal an offence, as the last outrage to a female, should not leave the dock, hut to expiate his crime upon the scaffold or to enjoy the full benefit of an acquittal. We know of scarcely any crime more deserving of death—we know of no criminal charge which makes a false accuser more odious or detestible. If the prisoner be guilty, public justice, and the interests of speiety, demand that his life shall be given up to the offended laws both as an atone ment and an example. If he he innocent, justice ,to the prisoner himself requires that he should not be Peed, under the duress of the law, to take to his bosom, as his wife, the woman, who, by perjury and mal;cc, has pursued him to the very brink of an ignominious graze, It may be said in 4eed, that the man is a voluntary agent, and need not marry she woman if lie would rather abide by the issue ofthetriel; but an innocent man in jeopardy of his life, will hardly hesitate to prefer the noose which the Priest tics, even in the most awkward manner, to. the risk of that which the executioner fastetil, The halter dangling before his fright ened fancy hay wonderful efficacy in deciding him in favour of the iwatrimonial alternative— more especially if that alternative come enforced by a recommendation from the Bench. MO generally, in,f4ped, the Bench only connives at this extraordinary issAceeding. But in a case which we reported the other ; 1 41, from the Tralee Assize, our readers must 'have s t r.;,4» that the Judge himself geted as the Internuncio of Cupid, and male the rnatrimanigl proposal to the party. The courtship was sudden, but no novel writer could tying it to a happier termination the» the learned Itheihnianthus who on this occasion pre sided over the united empire of law and love.— To do justice to the scene we must reprint that part pf the report which best illuwates our ob servations, 4fier the young woman had given a detail of the violence of which she was the vic tim, the report proceeded ac fellows :* Chief Baron O'GRADY—Young women,. would you r• the* marry the prisoner or hang lerstc'ss:-.1 • ' would like to give him the benefit of the law, your Lordship. A pretty benefit, indeed ! Is your Parish Priest in wan don't know, your Honour. Is your father in town ?—He is, my ,Lord. The father was called on the table. CHIEF BAttos—Would you rather see that man hanged, or married to your daughter ?-9b, then, I call God to witness, I would rather see him married to my daughter. - Then you consent to the match ?—I consent to whatever pleases your Lordship. CIIIEF BARON-011, you must manage the mat ter yourselves, far I am no match-maker.—(A laugh.) —Now, let us see what your daughter says to the business; speak to her. _ . (The f a ther proceeded towards the daughter, and throwing his arm round her neck, gave her an affec tionate whisper.) CHIEF BARON—WeII, what does she say; will she marry him ?—She consents, my Lord. CHIEF BARON—Now, see what the prisoner says. The gaoler whispered the prisoner, who said he was satisfied. CHIEF BARON—But how are they to be married, as the parish priest is not in town ? The gaoler suggested that the chaplain of the gaol would be a fit and proper person to perform the ceremony. He accordingly took both into his cus tody, and instantly repaired to the gaol, where the capital felony was soon converted into a valid marriage. —Here is a scene as curious and dramatic as can be presented to the eye of one who looks even into a Law Court for instances of the " burlesque of life." We here see the Judge laying aside the awful terrors of his office, and kindly assisting to convert the penal into the Hymeneal process of the law. Under this pre siding influence the indictment is moved from the Court of Justice into the court of love—the affectionate glances from the witness-box are re ciprocated by glances as intelligible from the dock. The gaoler is touched by the pathetic scene. We are not told whether he shed any " iron tears" on the occasion ; but he, with the greatest readiness, tendered his offices to assist the pri soner out of one noose into another; and helped to knock off the fetters of the law in order to rivet the chains of Hymen. The chaplain, who possibly might have had to preached the " con demned sermon," is relieved from that painful duty—he fastens a knot, somewhat different from that which another " finisher of the law" would have tied, and sends the " fond couple" home with the matrimonial benediction. Now, however amusing this might be as a farce at a minor theatre, we confess we do not like it as an authentic account of proceedings in a Court of Justice. No one can doubt that it is a mockery of religion to marry people under such circumstances, and a grievous detriment to morality. It instigates and encou rages depraved women to make false charges against men with whom they have been viciously familiar. It is a practice which has the tone and character of barbarism about it—it is calculated to sink the the judicial office, and degrade the noble attributes of justice in the eyes of the mul ti,ude ; and, in a country like Ireland, it must, in a proportionate degree, assist in checking the progress of civilization. It is a mistaken notion that the punishment of crimes is in the nature of redress for the wrongs of the individual—it is a debt du to public justwe, which, however for giving the sufferer may be, the offender is bound to pay. Since writing the above, we have met with another report of one of those farcical trials for violation, which occurred at the Cork As sizes. We here insert it— Daniel Healy was indicted for assaulting Eleanor Mullane. As the witness was about to go on the table, The prisoner called out Nell, Nell, come over, and marry you.—(Loud laughter.)—The wit ness refused. Mr. FREEMAN remarked that the prosecutrix had a child before this transaction by the prisoner, and his friends would not allow him to marry her. The CHIEF BARON—Perhaps it would be better for him, for I can inform you for your comfort, that I and a brother Judge hanged a man under similar circumstances. Mr. FREEMAN—Oh ! very well, my Lord, I am satisfied. The CHIEF BARON (to Mr. Chatterton, the Clerk of the Crown)—Get our friend Sullivan (the Priest), and let him make this woman a bride. I will post pone the trial until the ceremony is over. We shall make no further remark upon this subject at present than to observe that it is one so deeply affecting the purity and efficacy of the administration of justice in Ireland as to demand the serious attention of Parliament.—Morning Herald. In the last number of the Foreign Quarterly Review there is a concise, but clear and excel lent, article on the " Letting of Land," which, in so far as inferences might be drawn from it respecting the agriculture of the Continent, and the quantity of corn which, in case of the trade being thrown open, might be exported to this country,—we would fain recommend to the at tention of those of our land-owners, who con sider a low duty on foreign grain as tantamount to the loss of their possessions. With those who entertain such opinions, the fact is held to be indisputable that the lower price of labour, and the lower value of land on the Continent, must enable the foreign agriculturist to undersell the English f armer ; whereas the truth is, that these are only trifling ingredients in the price of gram, and faint excitements to its production, compared with those enjoyed by the British farmer. The writer of the article to which we have referred, very justly lays it down as an in disputable truth, that " in order to give perfect security to the occupiers of land, and conse quently to call forth all their energies, leases of a reasonable endurance m us t b e granted to diem." Now such is generally the case in this country, and has been for years past; and to the preva lence of this sort of common sense among the English landowners, does the agriculture of this country owe all the improvements of- which it has to boast, and the •- im mense quantity of grain, compared with its superfices, which is annually produced in it. The farmer derives a security from his lease that the capital which he may expend upon the soil will be returned to him, with due interest, be fore it expires ; and the consequence is improve ment in the modes of agriculture, the inelosure and cultivation of comparatively barren soils, and the production of five-fold the quantity of grain which would be grown were such security with held. But such is not only not generally the case in foreign countries, but in addition to the discouragement thus thrown in the way of the cultivators of the soil, the rent of the land oc cupied is made payable in a manner which, while it continues, must effectually prevent any very eitensiye production of grain. The practice of letting landz by proportional rents has, unfortu nately for the peasantry of the Continent, very generally obtained a preference over other modes ; and, as it is very justly remarked in the article in the Foreign Quarteily, ‘,where ever it has been adopted, it has put a stop to all improvement." " Previously to the Revolution," says the Re view, f' about seven-eighths of the whole surface of France were occupied by ;netayers—that is, by a species of tenants paying a certain proportion, gene rally a half, and hardly ever less than a third, of the produce to the landlord; the latter sometimes fur nishing the tenants wan the . oxen and o th er catt l e used in farming, 'and a portion of th e see d— an d sometimes not. Even if we were totally unacquaint ed with tire facts of the case, we might confident y pronounce, a priori, that such a system must have been ruinous in the extreme. In England, it is not supposed that the rent paid to the landlords amounts to more than between a fourth and a fifth part of the entire produce. What, then, must be the effect of subjecting the cultivators of a country like France where the rent of land is naturally lower than in England, to so excessive a demand as that of a half or even a third of the produce? Can any one be surprised to learn that French agriculture, at the era of the Revolution, was in the most wretched con dition, and the occupiers of lands stink in the abyss of poverty and misery? Nor is this system less in jnrious to the interests of the proprietor than to those of the cultivator. The landlord gets, indeed, a large portion of the produce raised upon his estate ; but owing to the degraded con dition of agriculture, arid the wretchedness of the tenants, caused by the exorbitancy of his demands, the produce raised is comparatively trifling; so that the half that belongs to the landlord under this miserable system, is not nearly so large as the share falling to him would be were the rents moderate ' and fixed, and the tenants allowed to reap all the advantages arising from whatever skill and talent they might exert. The tenants having little or no interest in the proper treatment of the stock fur nished by the landlords, the latter are perpetually losing by its mismanagement or destruction. In this most detestable of all modes of letting land,' says Arthur Young, whose Travels in France and tombardy contain a vast deal of information on this subject, after running the hazard of such losses, fatal in many instances, the defrauded landlord re ceives a contemptible rent; the farmer is in the lowest state of poverty; the land is miserably cul tivated ; and the nation suffers as severely as the farmers themselves.' Where the stock is wholly furnished by the tenants, they are not quite so poor; but even in this case their condition is decidedly worse than that of a day-labourer in other countries; agriculture is at the lowest ebb, and no improve- . merit is either attempted, or even as much as thought of." _ _ _ _ _ The Revolution did away with a considerable part of this system, as it did with many other in tolerable abuses ; but according to the article from which we quote, it is still in pristine vigour in more than one-half of the whole kingdom of France, and throughout the greater part of Italy. In Prussia a better system has obtained, but with out, as yet, having produced any material change in the quantity of produce ; and in Poland and Russia, the state of the agriculture is too well known to require a word of observation. We put it then to the landowners of this country, whether, under all these circumstances, there would be any great danger, in case of a more li beral system of trade in corn being adopted, of the country being inundated with foreign grain ? whether there is any great likelihood of much land being thrown out of cultivation, or the price of corn falling materially below its present average? and whether, under these circum stances, it would not contribute more to their own interests, as well as to the general interests and satisfaction of the country, that the trade in 1 corn were placed on the same basis as that of any other importable article ? Our limits will not now permit us to discuss these questions ; but we trust the observations which we have thrown out will meet with due consideration, and that a more careful examination of the subject will convince the landowner that there is about as much dread of being inundated with foreign grain as with foreign cotton, or foreign hardware.—Morning Advertiser. GERMAN PAPERS. BELGRADE, AUG. 10.-Our Pacha has received news from Constantinople to the 3d, which agree with what has been reported by the Tartars that have arrived during the last eight days. The ad vanCe of the Russians to Bourgas, and the landing of a Russian corps at Sizeboli, had caused the greatest consternation both there and at Adrianople. Twenty thousand Armenians and Greeks have been ordered by the Two Patriarchs to labour at the works for the defence of the capital. At Adrianople every body is taking up arms. The harems and many Turks of distinction fly towards Constanti nople. It is thought, however, that Adrianople can not be defended, because the fortificatVis are so di lapidated, but that the Turks, if obliged to retreat, will burn this second capital of the empire, and lay waste the country. From Constantinople many ef fects are already being sent to Asia. Nothing cer tain is known of the departure of the Sultan to the army. KRAJOVA, AUG. B.—We hear that in con sequence of the advance of the Pacha of Scu tari with above thirty thousand men towards Rachova, General Baron Geismar has ordered his troops to leave that place and retreat across the Danube. Accordingly, we hear from good autho rity, Rachova has been destroyed and abandoned by the Russians. General Geismar removed on the sth instant from Sadovan to the entrenched camp at Czoroi, a most important military position, where the Turks suffered so severely last year. Ile seems to intend to observe, from Czoroi, the movements of the Pacha of Scutari. AUG. 10.—(From a letter.)—Rachova has been destroyed and abandoned by the Russians, probably on account of the superiority of the force under the Pacha of Scutari. It is not known whether the latter, who is said to have 34,000 men under his command, has crossed the Danube. LETTER FROM ORSOWA, AUG. 12. 7 —News has been received at Belgrade from Widdin that the Russians at Rachova have repassed the Danube on the approach or the Turks. The recovery of this place is of great importance at this moment, as sup plies may now be sent without obstacle to Nicopoli, Sistowa, Rudschuk, and Giurdzevo. It does not appear, however, that the Patella of Scutari has fol lowed the Russians into Little Wallachia ; but it is probable that he will proceed along the Danube to Rudsehuk, to threaten the communications of the grand Russian army. It is said that after the de parture. of the Paella of Scutari, there still remained a garrison of 12,000 men at Widdin. BUCHAREST, AUG. 7.—According to the latest accounts (of July 31) from Aidos, the Russians are rapidly advancing on the other side of the Balkan. After the taking of Aidos, a column advanced to Karnabat, which the Turks had not destroyed, and occupied it. The Grand Vizier was still at Shumla. We have the following particulars of the occupa tion of Aidos. Two Paellas, with 10,000 men, made some resistance, but they were defeated and the place occupied. The Ayans were obliged to bind themselves not to commit any hostilities against the Russians, and gave ho s t ages as secur i ty. Th e magilzhies of provisions and am mun i t i on excee d e d a ll expectation.' A Russian colum n h as a d vance d on the road to Adrianople. JASSY, AUG. 4.—As the Russians advance be vond the Balkan, the hopes of peace grow fainter. Persons who know Mahmoud's character, think he will risk the fate of . h . is empir e rat h er t h an d epart from any of the conditions which h e requ i res to pre cede negotiations for peace. O ne o f t h ese b e i ng the previous evacuation of the Turkish territory, peace cannot be thought of at present, unless some c atastrophe should put an end to the Government of Mahmoud. It does not seem that Russia is disposed to relax in the prosecution of its advantages, still less to renounce those it has already gained, on the pre carious hopes of peace. All our province is covered with fresh troops from Bessarabia, so that one might think the war was just b eg i nn i ng. After a short h a l t , generally in the open air, the troops (chiefly infantry) proceed to the Dan u b e , f or t h e. purpose , i t is said, of the reinforcing the corps of observation before Shumla ; for 'though the force of the Grand Vizier may be greatly diminished, is is affirmed, even by Russlan officers, that the further the Rus sian army proceeds to the south-east, the more ne cessary it is to have a large body of troops at that point, as long as Redschid Paella can receive rein forements from the south and the west. STOCKHOLM, Auc. 21.—The coronation of the Queen took place to-day, With the ceremonies ex pressly appointed for the occasion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The betting on Monday had some important results, the favourites, however, remaining steady, with the exception of Sir Hercules, who is decidedly in better favour than on the last betting-day. Favourable accounts have been re ceived from the north respecting Frederick, who conse quently regained his old place in the betting. Forth is very sanguine about the two horses, and declares it will take something more than common to beat them. There was a palpable decline in Gibbeson's two, Lady Sarah and Wandering Boy, both of whom here without friends, al though high odds were offered : the cause of their going back did not transpire. The cup betting was confined to Zingamee, who was backed singly for the Cup, or for it and the Fitzwilliam Stakes conjointly to a large amount. The odds were offered against the King's mare, but she was not backed. A busy and rather interesting day closed as follows: DONCASTER ST. LEGER. 13 to 4 agst Lord Cleveland's Voltaire ('7 to 2 taken) 6to 1 agst Hon. E.

Major Yarburgh's colt Pilgrim (brother to Laurel), who for some time was a good favourite for the St. Leger, has been taken out of training, having fallen lame ; but for this we have no doubt that he would have proved a clip per : he is a remarkably fine colt, and in Isis private run ning gave promise of gres. t excellence. CRICKET.-SURREY AGAINST ENGLAND. This Grand Match was played and decided at Godal ming, ou Thursday and Friday. The following was the state of the score at the close, viz. : ENGLAND. SURREY. Ist Innings 42 Ist Innings 59 2d Ditto 9B 2d Ditto B4 Total And that, too, with four wickets to Fpare. There was much of capital play on both sides. FISHERMEN'S SAILING MATCH. The interesting match between the Fishermen of the Thames took place on Monday, and the day proved extremely propitious for the occasion, the wind blowing fresh from N.E. About three o'clock twenty-three boats took their stations at Westminster-bridge, and were started by Nelson, the `eater-bailiff. The boats were formed into two classes, those from 18 feet to 23 forming the first class, and those not heeeding 18 feet the second. The Daisy, of Lam heth, was first boat of the small class, and the Silver Eel, of the same place, second. The first boat of the large class, Elizabeth, received nine sovereigns, and the second, Betsy, five sovereigns. The winner of the small class received seven sovereigns, and the second four sovereigns. A subscription was entered into for the losers, and every thing passed off amicably. Thousands of spectators as sembled on the banks of the river to witness the arrival of the boats. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market last week assumed much firmness, and the purchases were extensive; the estimated sales were 4,200 hhds, and tie. The estimated sales this day, at the close of the market were 1,100 hhds. and trs. The stock in the West India Docks is now 1.500 Mids. and trs. less than last year ; deliveries 883 less than the 'corresponding week. Stock in London and St. Katha rine's Dock :--Sugar 5,186 and trs., 14,838 bags, 3,345 chests and boxes. _ _ _ Total I) , .!livery of Sugars from the Three Docks : West India 3,101 hlids. and trs. 3,924 bags. London St. Katharine's 195 933 3,349 bbds. and trs. 5,052 bags. In the Refined Market last week the demand for low goods continued general and extensive, and as the supplies were inadequate to the request, goods to be ready two or three weeks hence were readily contracted for at the current prices of the market. For fine goods or home consump tion there was a limited demand, but no alteration in the prices could be stated. Molasses steady. FOREIGY SUGAR.—There were no white Havannah Sugars sold last week ; 300 chests yellow sold at 295. a 325. There were no purchasers of Brazil Sugar by pri vate contract.

COFFEE.—The public sales brought forward last week were more limited than usual ; the consequence has been a more ex tensive demand, particularly for British Plantation descriptions ; we estimate the advance on nearly every qua lity of Jamaica, Demerara, and Berbice at Is. a 2s. ; good ord. Brazil sold at 335. 64. ; Batavia 31s. 6d. ; Ceylon and Sumatra 40s. a 30s. 6d. ; good Mysore 50s. a 565. ; St. Domingo was inquired after, and for good ord. pale 333. was paid. There were no public sales of Coffee this day ; the demand by private contract continues, but no purchases to any extent are reported ; the market is, how ever, very firm. Rum, BRANDY, AN n Hou,Awns.—The Rum Market was more firm last week on account of the advance of the Corn Market; the holders refused to sell at the previous prices; some Leewards, 2 over, s o ld at is 104., an d f or proofs free on board Is. 11 d. ; some good Jamaicas, 32 over, sold at 3s. ld., but generally the sales were not ex tensive, as the importers evinced no inclination to sell. :randy and Geneva were unvaried. This afternoon there was not so much firmness in, the Rum Market ; the fall of corn appears to have an unfavourable effect. Haatr, FLAX, AND TALLow.—The Tallow Market has been dull on account of the heavy arrivals ; there is little variation in the prices. Ilemp fully maintains the late advance on account of the reduced stock, and the short supplies. Flax is heavy. The letters front St. Peters burgh are dated 12th ult. Exchange 1011 Tallow 103. Carrox.—An instance of the depressed state of trade occurred last week, about 2,000 hags East India Cotton were taken for export to China.

The fall in the Corn Market yesterday has occa sioned a heavy trade. This day at public sale 787 bags good cargo Rice, the sound was taken in at 9s. 6d. SPICES.—There is little alteration in Spices ; the inqui ries continue, but no extensive purchases are reported ; the buyers expect to get parcels at lower rates than the esta blished currency. Good Pimento sells at 614. . _ hum PRovistows.—There is no alteratusn in Beef or Pork. Butters continue very heavy. Bacon is offered on rather lower terms, Without facilitating sales to any extent. Ou.s.—The transactions in Oil continue considerable; the last advance is fully maintained. INntno.—There is little alteration in Indigo; about 250 chests were disposed of last week. FRUlT.—There is little alteration to notice in Fruit; Jordan Almonds are held for higher prices on account of the unfavourable reports respecting the crop, TOBACCO.—The sales of Tobacco last week were about 300 lihds., and about 100 arc since sold, principally Strips to the dealers. w 00 i,.--By public sale on Monday, 228 bags New 133 bags Van Die ;4dt.tv;o b.igs Foreign sd. ; Die men's eth anld s e o s; ld Vl°V it io g 4l 0 d5 0 .1 1 a. priers 7 I s2.

Aug. 29. During the past week the weather has been so veil wet that the harvest has proceeded slowly, still about three-fourths of the Wheat is stacked or barned, about one-fourth in excellent condition; one-fourth rather damp, which will much improve by dry weather; and one-fourth so exceedingly damp as to be unfit for present use without kiln•d:ying. We had a large supply of New Wheat to day, varying much in condition ; fine dry samples sold readily 2s. per quarter dearer, inferior sorts heavy sale.

POLICE INTEI.LIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Roberts, of Bridgewater -square, Barbican, she was attacked with an inflammatory illness, which com pelled her to go to St. Bartholomew's Hospital for its removal. On Wednesday week last, being de clared convalescent, she was discharged, and an other servant, owing to her absence, having been hired to fill her situation, she went to lodge with the prisoner's sister, whom she had known from her occasionally charing for her master's family. On Monday last she and the landlady of the house spent the day at the house of a second sister of the pri soner's, at West Ham, and there met the prisoner, who, during the evening, paid same attention to her (the prosecutrix), and on leaving there, about nine o'clock, accompanied the party to town. On their return the prisoner's sister and her landlady went first, and the prosecutrix and the prisoner followed them at a short distance in the tear. When they arrived about half-way towards Stratford, the pri soner pointed out to her a lane off the road side, which he told her was the shortest road. She, not distrusting• what he said, accompanied him up it, and as they arrived at a gate, he pushed her against it, and made her some very indecent proposals, which she repulsed as well ;Is her strength would permit. This did not discourage him, and he proceeded to personal violence—and, notwithstanding her utmost effors and resistance, he ultimately accomplished his object to the fullest extent.

Elizabeth Linton, the wife of a journeyman book binder, was charged with threatening to do some gr:evous bodily harm to her husband. Mr. Welch,of No. 14, Addle-hill, Thames street, her landlord, deposed, that on Saturd.iy he heard from his wife that the prisoner had taken a table-knife to bed with her, for the impose of doing some injury to her husband. By his direction his wife and another female endeavoured to persuade her to abandon her design, but she was immove able; and, it being then nine o'clock, he fetched in a watchman to alarm her. She, however, locked herself in, and as the husband determined on sleep ing with a lodger above stairs, and there was no probability of mischief ensuing, the watchman was sent away without having forced the door. Be tween one and two o'clock in the morning the p► . soner went to the lodger's room and demanded her husband, but being denied admittance, she went away, saying she Would have "a bonny fire." She immediately lit a rousinglire that would have roasted any goose in half an hour, and shortly after smoke was observed ascending the staircase. -The—female who .discovered this screamed out "Murder and Fire ;" and it was found that the stairs had been set on fire by putting some lighted oil rags upon them. They were but slightly scorched, and while the wit ness was looking for the watchman, the prisoner endeavoured to scrape and wipe off the marks. She had accounted for the circumstance by saying she was making tinder.

She was quite sober herself, and the reason that her outcries were not heard at a greater distance was, that the prisoner covered her mouth, and prevented her ut terance.

The Isothermal Chart exhibits the Climate of different Regions, as determined by Thertnotnetrical Observation, with their most important productions, and presents a striking illus tration of the diversity existing in the same Latitudes ac cording to the situation of Countries. In the Moral and Political Chart, the outlines of each country contain a number, ahowing its population, and several emblems indicating its Government, Religion. and State of Civilization, and forms, in effect, a Moral Picture of the World.

CAUTION TO DRUNKA RDS.--A few clays ago, an elderly female, in a state of intoxication, went into the spirit vaults of Mr. l 3 OAnnM,ue, in this town, and called for a glass of brandy, When, in the act of put ting the vessel to her mouth, she reeled back, and was in stantly stretched on the floor a corpse! An inquest was held on the body by Mr. MiLzar, and the Jury returned a verdict of died in a fit brought on by excessive drinking.— Aranchestcr „Advertiser. BOW-STREET, Yesterday a man named Samuel Cottrell was Drought in custody to this office by Buckle, a con stable of St. Luke's parish, charged upon suspicion of having been concerned in the burglary committed at the house of the Rev. W. Warrington, at West Moulsey, in November last. The prisoner, who declared his entire innocence of the charge, was remanded. HATTON-GARDEN Hazoke Badnell, a master tailor, residing in Cleveland-street, was brought up by the parish officers of St. Pancras, on a charge of deserting his wife and leaving her chargeable to the parish. The defendant's wife, a young woman of prepos sessing appearance, stated, that about seven months ago, -in consequence of her husband's cruel treatment to her, from the effects of which she teas still suffer- ing under bodily infirmities, she was obliged to leave him and go into an hospital. IL 2 , liied her the common necessaries of life, and, being habitually ad dicted to liquor, whenever he was drunk would heat her shockingly. When she came out of the hospi tal she was fearful of again living with him, and took up her abode with her mother, by whom she was supported until within the last six weeks, dur ing which she subsisted upon parish relief. Mr. LAING asked the defendant what he had to say to the complaint. The defendant was out of business, and lived with his friends at Peckham-ryr. He wished his wife to return home, and he would do all in his power to maintain her. The wife would not take his word, and dreaded his violence. The officers said there was no dependence to be placed on the word of the defendant, and the Ma gistrate committed him to the House of Correction 'r one month. His wife was removed from the office in hysterics, occasioned by the delicate state of health to which she was reduced. Yesterday three stout stable-men, in the employ of Mr. Bailey, of Pentonville, were charged with the following extraordinary outrage and assault upon William Spears, a cabriolet-driver . - The prosecutor stated that, on Saturday night last, he returned to the above stables, where he was employed, to deliver up the profits of his day's work, when the prisoners made an attack upon him, and challenged him to fight. He was obliged to do so for his own protection; and, after a few rounds, they seized on him in a most violent manner, and dragged him to a horse-pond, where they ducked him two or three times. Mr. LAING—What was the cause of all this Witness—l took home 145., which was all I earned, and the stable-keepers, thinking that I had earned more and had pocketed it, ill-used me. A voice—He is a ree lar tricker, your Worship. Mr. LAING —I have not the honour to be ac quainted with the term. What is its meaning ? A stout personage, who represented himself as fore man over the stable-men—Vy,a cheat, your IVu,ship —this ere man there goes out with a cab (cabriolet), and, if he doesn't bring back 28s. in a sartain given time, they say they're done, tricked, or cheated. Now, I nose he yarned more on Saturday night, and he only brought Hs., and directly lie made his ap pearance he was told not to enter, or he would get a hiding ; but he would, and he did. Mr. LAING asked if he was at the horse pond ceremony ?—No, I vasu't there ; but he desarved what he got for his blackguard language. Another witness proved that the prosecutor gave the first challenge to fight ; and, knowing him to be a cheat, ye ducked him, your Honour. Mr. LAING requested to know what sort of a ducking? Witness (coolly, with his hands in his pockets)—We only dipped his head in three times, your Honour.---(A laugh.) Several other witnesses proved, beyond a doubt, that the prosecutor bad, misconducted himself; and the Magistrate ordered the prisoners to pay three shillings each, and he discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. _ . Yesterday a young man, who stated himself to be a painter and glazier, at Knightsbridge, entered the office, arid addressing the sitting Magisti ate, Mr, MARRIOTT, said he wanted a summons against one of the Royal Family, for work and labour done, Mr. MARRIOTT inquired who he wanted a sum mons against ? The painter wanted a summons against her Royal Highness the Princess Olive of Cumberland, for painting her house at No. 1, Park row, Mills-buildings, Knightsbridge ; he had been recommended to work for her, and his bill was 51. 163. 6d., and not one farthing could he get of it. Mr. MARRIOTT—RoyaI Highness Nonsense, man. I wish you joy of your customer; but the case does not come under my jurisdiction. " Then I'm done," replied the painter. " I understood her Royal Highness would pay me ready money when I finished my work : instead of that, she gave me a bill at 16 days for the amount ; and now the bill is due, she says she cannot pay it." " I cannot assist you," replied the Magistrate. "It is very hard," said the painter, I should lose my hard earning., and I have ►tot the means to go to law. All the money I have had from her was 9s. the other day, when 1 pressed her very hard, and her Royal Highness gave me a pair of blankets to pawn for Os." Mr. MARRIOTT again told the painter he could not assist him, arid he left the office in a very sorrow ful mood. LAMBETH-STREET. Michael Sal lima, a labouring man, was charged with having violated the person of Eliz Lbeth But terfield.—The prosecutrix, a decent and innocent looking girl, of about 18 years of age, said, that about twu months since, while in the service of Mr. Mr. New, a surgeon, who had examined the fe male, spoke to the violence she had sustained, and gave it as his opinion that the capital offence had been perpetrated. The MAGISTRATES asked why it was that the in quiry had been allowed to stand over for near a week, without any communication having been made to the office Y--Christian, the constable, re p!ied, that on the night when the offence wa3 com mitted, the prosecutrix informed him of it. He had ever since been in search of the prisoner, but it was only on tie night before that he was enabled to se• cure him. The inquiry was postponed till this day. LONDON SESSIONS, SEPT. 21. Margaret Alfredius, a pretty-looking woman, aged 30, was indicted for committing a violent assault upon Alfred Alfrediu.:, her lawful husband. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, was sorry to say that the defendant, under the mask of an agreeable countenance, possessed a most virulent disposition, and so violent was her temper that his client absolutely apprehended that his life was in danger. The Learned Counsel held some letters in his hand, which were a kind of accounts current, which he hoped were not very common documents, for it was a statement of which party gave the most black eyes. The present letter began thus— " My dear D,vil,—You forget that you sent me to finish my education, but you never paid the shot money (a fee paid on entrance into the Compter.) Depend upon it I will not forget to pay you as many black eyes as you gave me. I well know you, and will reckon with you by and-by, and then I shall see bow we stand. From your wife " MARGARET." The next epistle ran thus— " Devil Dick,—When it comes to my turn to come out, you must look sharp, for I will keep you from the company of the la4y whom you walk with in Hackney road. I will put a knife into you when I come out. This is from your wife " MARGARET." Mr. C. PHILLIPS, addressing the prosecutor— " Your name is Alfred Alfredius, Sir ?"—" No, it is not," said the prisoner; " his name is Richard Collins; and I am his lawful wife." The prosecutor explained that he had assumed tie fortvier name, and used it for four years. He then described the treatment he had met with from his wife in July last, in Throgmorton-street, when she threw mud in his face, and beat him with her shoe. He said he separated from her seven years ago. A ticket-porter of the name of Itosoman described the conduct of the defendant to be most violent, and the officer who apprehended her stated her to have said, " I'll run a knife into him. I don't mind being hanged for him : I shall not suffer long." The prisoner entered into a long defence, which she couched in very good language, and complained that she was forsaken by her husband, who, although well off in the world, had only allowed her 6s. since the 14th of April, when they separated; he had used her very ill, and debarred her from seeing her child; they had been married 14 years, and she had borne him five fine children.

It is with sincere regret we communicate the fol lowing fatal event which took place in the Sound last Thursday evening, and has plunged the relations of the unhappy sufferers in the deepest affliction. A boat having gone from the shore for the purpose of conveying some wine on board the Britannia, 120 guns, lying in the Sound, with a Custom-house officer, named Oxlen, and two watermen, named Jope and Markem, arrived alongsid e w ith h er cargo , which, being discharged, the boat was about to re turn, when Mr. Barker, a Midshipman, with Me3srt, , , Curgenven, Cummings, and Scott, clerks i 110 two or three others, 'engaged w;th the watermen to take them aslinre. It was at this time nearly seven o'clock, and I;lowing fresh, with a heavy swell from the S.W. The party named hav ing seated themselves in the goat, another was coming down the neeomniodation,ladder to join them, when a heavy swell carried the boat under the ladder, and the ship rolling heavily at the same time, the ladder struck the gunwale of the boat, which it instantly upset, plunging the a+ole of the party into the sea, wi.h the exception of Marketn, who was holding on the ladder, to which h,e clung after the boat went down, The alarm being instantly given, Lieutenant Haw thorns with Mr. Carrol, the Second Master, Mr. Hughes, Midshipman, and one seaman, got into a small gig, and succeeded, after much exertion, in picking up Messrs. Curgenven, Barker, Cummings, Scott, and the Custom-house officer (Jope vent to the bottom, the body has not been pielied I,lp yet), arly by a t w h n l i d ' s o t t i h N m 'e e d o vreNie•niafett rix her e ing very tempestuo us, B they w ere h a strong ottrrent setting up the harbour, obliged to steer for Plymouth, at the imminent ha zard of being swamped by a heavy sea, 'o hich broke continually over - them, and nearly filled the boat with water. Medic.l assistance was procured for tb. - i ;' sufferers as soon as they landed, but although it was but twenty minutes after the accident, and all the usual methods of resuscitation were 'seditiously employed by Messrs. ilalrly and . loberts, their Worts to re cover INksSrs. Curgenveu an d C urntn i ngs proved in vain, life having fled before they reached the shore; with the others, happily, they were more successful. Mr. Curg enven , we regret to a dd, has left a widp ix and five children to deplore his loss, and Mc, Cum. mings a widow and six children ; ATr a widow and three children. , 7' (From the Jo urna l d es ' MM.

Objects of general terror, Lilo' -- grk,;,lL, however, nothing but contempt, ainigliWklit: tit days more they will be received with hootings. They have carried to the Ministry a cettain cha racter for determination and boldness, which in France is something.. They do not wish to bear the ridicule of it : the only advantage which is wanting to their life. To escape from this difficult situation, an act of policy is necessary ; not such an act of policy as is prepared in the Master of the Rolls' office, a process-verbal sealed with wax ; but a counter revolution—rude, wild, and violent. Such, however, can neither be the interest nor the passions of their other colleagues. Without doubt they would also re joice in a counter-revolution ; but gradually, by corruption and deceit. They are afraid to at tack the lion in front, and ready for combat. To surprise him, and slay him whilst asleep, ap pears to them more prudent. All who are ac quainted with their characters know this ; and we will try to make them known to all the world. Then comes M. de Polignac. M. de Polig nac is one of those men of whom it may justly • be said that they have not two ideas. Ile has but one, and that is—aristocracy. He would do for that what Richelieu has done against it, if he were a Richelieu. He dreams of enriching it by honours, and by places, and by causing the greater part of the representative power to pass to the Chamber of Peers. Conceive a Jacobite Tory in full purity, and you have M. de Polig nac. Be assured, that he feels at least as ranch repugnance towards M. Olivier, or Cesar Lapa nouze, those Peers of the Counter, as for the most vehement deputy of the left. But M. de Polignac, although he has not much imagination, understands that to disturb the country—that is to say, property—is not the way to strengthen the aristocracy ; that, yet in its childhood, it requires to be nourished with sine cures, and fattened upon the fortunes of vain citizens. Add to this, that his whole existence is devoted to the Crown. Restrained by an exalted friendship, he fears to commit to inevit able perils those interests which are precious to , him. He is also aware that, at the moment or difficulty, he would not be able to find sufficient resources in himself to meet the danger. With this mixture of aristocrati c f ear and devotion to royalty, he could not long continue in accord ance with M. de Bounnont and de la Bourdon naye--men who have nothing to compromise., and who are devoted to nothing but their politi cal hatreds. A separation therefore took place, as the Minister of the Interior, in order to try his hand, was desirous of signing an order for the destitution of 20 Prefects, M. de Polignac would have granted one or two ; for example, this penitent emigrant, or that liberal Protestant, who were obstinate in their departments ; b ut 22 !to alarm 20 provinces. That could not be. Thus the men who talked of nothing else but of changing the face of the State, have retreated before a revolution of Prefects. To M. de Polignac, the timid and involuntary representative of moderation, have united them selves, as was perfectly proper, M. de Chabrol, M. de Courvoisier, M. de Monate], and M. d'Haussez. Let us begin with M. de Chabrol. It can not be but that you have had connexion with some administration,prefecture, direction-general, or ministry. Of necessity you must have met there with a Chabrol. Well, at least, you know what to expect from our Minister of Finane ; for of all the families which people the globe, the family of the Chabrols is most like itself, the most identical. A Chabrol is what is called a good administrator. He conducts his aflifirs honestly, but always at the public expense. In dustrious, he does not allow a single paper to be in arrear, a letter to he unanswered, a petition to be unacknowledged. The Cardinal Dubois answered such documents by the use of fire, MM. de Chabrol by the use of ink. If the re sultr tri dispositioneacrte very far INit.ln,ddet.eiteaosfAririfiarilanoerytymi,itigeillilt:ealaaimvecl is often the same, it mai at least be granted azes, M. de Villele, olignac, all is one to that they are more polite. d affairs, they do conduct affairs, and ccm f; olg o ill.. : N ad N (dti 7 iieel i t o t e l i t i tpc e : e they will conduct affhirs, whatever may he the general system. They weave their administra tive tissue as the silk-worm spins its web, with out looking to the right or left, With this in dividuality in affairs, it is natural to think that they ought to have a honor of acts of state, for an act of state is diaorder in the bureaus, confu sion in the ()Oleo, wad chaos among the clerks. Thug tie cs the Finance has quickly arranged, Wins& according to the advice of M. de nac. Already he foresaw a responsibility with out rule, of the arrears, o f the deficits, o f t h e services in sufferance,—perhaps, of' the inter rupted correspondences.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (From the Journal des _Minds.) After the victory of the 12th June, the taking of Silistria, of Erzercum, and Trebizond, after the passage of the Balkan, and the entry into Adrian ople, can we believe seriously that the new levy ordered by the last ukase will be made against the Sultan, who trembles, and his armies which no longer exist ? Let . us rather see in it the first necessary result of a change of policy, foreseen at Petersburgh on the day that it was known that the Duke of Wellington and Prince Metternich could no longer rely that France would oppose an ob stacle to the combinations of their alliance. The manifesto of the 2d of September appears to be, whatever may be said to the contrary, a first reply to the Moniteztr of the 9th of August; in fact, how can it be supposed that the Emperor Nicholas is ignorant of the indisposition towards, and the hos tile wishes against, his cause, of the party whose agents have taken power by assault, and whose organs but a few months ago placed the altar and the throne under the protection of the Grand Vizier? How is it that 600 leagues from Paris no measures are taken against the foolish foreign reveries of our political adventurers, when we ourselves can hardly tell to what extremity their madness will drive them at home ? Here we take from our constitutional arsenal the inoffensive arms which the charter has given us to defend ourselves against our prevaricating Ministers. At Petersburgh, soldiers are raised, and the servce is placed upon the war footing. Our Ministers have already thrown France into trouble ;—that concerns ourselves, and God knows we do not want any but ourselves to bring back to2the country a repose so slightly compromised. But they annoy all Europe, and in this view the power which has played the most active character for the last two years has cer tainly a legitimate motive for putting itself on its gtisrd against a complication of events which may change the face of affairs. This is the secret of the 300,000 men called to arms, for that is about the number of combatants with which its army has been reinforced. Thus London begins to be sick of its own work. As constitutional ideas finally prevail there over the ephemeral combinations of the policy of a day, the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues already feel that there is no way of venturing upon an alliance offensive and defensive with Ministers who want the first condition of existence and dura tion—the majority in the country and in the Chambers. At Vienna, though the institutions are not in such an advanced state, proper names were imme diately understood, and it is said, that M. de Met ternich believed, like the Duke de Laval, on the day when the composition of the new Ministry was shown to him, that a inyetificalion was intended. At Petersburgh they begin to take things more seri ously. All this was inevitable, .-and, spite of what may be said, the Polignac Ministry has had success no where but at Lisbon. Messrs. Bert, the director of the Journal du Contmcree, Bertin, sen., director of the Journal des Debats, Chevassut, director of the Constitutionnel, and Lapelouze, director' of the Courrier Francais, appeared this morning before M. Camille Gaillard, Juge d'lnstruction. They are accused, the first of having inserted the article relative to the Brittany Association, and the others with having copied the same article from the Gazette de France :-1. Of exciting hatred and contempt against the King's Government. 2. Of provoking disobedience to the laws. 3. Of an attack against the constitu tional authority of the King. 4. Of 8n attack against the rights and authority of the Chambers. The Editors of the last three papers have declared that they only inserted the incriminated article be cause the Gazetee de France, after having given it in its morning's edition, repeated it in that of the evening. They could only believe that if th. article had appeared criminal to the Government, the 7 would have taken care to have communicated the seizure which had taken place by the evening papers. M. Gaillard was to make his report to-day, and the Council Chamber will to-morrow peki - gounce upon the validity of the seizure. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Kessager des Chambres.)

The last despatches from Vienna announce, that it was firmly believed there that peace would SO6O he concluded on moderate terms. It is now certain that General Diebitsch has full powers to treat with the Turks, whence it is supposed, with some foun dation, that peace will soon be cot:eluded.

EXTRAOXDINARY HEROISM...T-,During the period that Copenhagen was invested by the British pavy, under the command of NELsoN . , an attempt was made hi a body of Danish sailers, about 4,000 strong. to re-gain possessi.on of the fortifications of the islands of Anlttat, which were f, arr:soned by a party of British, con 31;stinx of about 800. The Vanes, who were not def-cient in bravery. cn this occasion carat iearlessly to the cannott's mouth, atad fought with the utmost 4,-2,sperstion, returning several times to the charge, though repti9 , e4 with dreadful slaughter. In the last onset the Danish commar 4 rint lost Loth his legs by a cannon shot. The brave soldier mind ful of nothing but his duty to his sovereign and the sue cess of the enterprise in which lie was engaged, stood for some seconds on his stuEzpsi like the celebrated WITHER INGTON of "Chevy Chace" wtoriety, and, waving his hat, cheered his men on to the attack, till he . fell from exhaus tion.

The reported Armistice between the Russians and Turks created unusual interest in BerliN, but the conditions were not known in consequence of his MAJESTY not being in the capital. However, in the absence of authentic informa tion, the Hamburg Reporter gives the following as the conditions agreed upon : HAMBURG, SEPT. 18. No official intelligence respecting the affairs of the East has reached us since Tuesday, but of rumours and speculations there has been in the meanwhile no scarcity. Of these the most important is one which got into circulation in Berlin shortly after the arrival of a courier from Constantinople, whose despatche., it is said, brought positive information that the pre liminaries of peace had been definitively concluded between Russia and Turkey. The conditions agreed to are said to be the following:— I. Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria, are to be placed under the sovereignty and protection of Russia. 11. The unconditional emancipation of Greece is to be recognised, and its territory enlarged. Several fortresses on the Black Sea, taken by Count Paskewitsch, are to be ceded. IV. The free navigation between the Black Sea aad the Mediterranean is to be secured by the demo lition of several of the fortresses on the Bosphorus. V. A pecuniary indemnity of several hundreds of millions of rubles is to be paid to Russia, in consi deration of the expenses of the war; and, as the giultan declares his incapacity to comply with this demand at present, security for the future payment is to be given. Upon these conditions the Reporter makes the following sensible and just observations : " Of course if peace has been concluded upon the above terms, Turkey, although it may retain a nominal independence, will be virtually as completely under the controul of the Russian Government, as Poland, Finland, or any other interior province. That we regret the issue of the war it would be idle to deny, for we have never for a moment disguised our wish that the triumph of Russia might not be too complete ; not certainly on aee.ount of any predilection we felt for the Turks, but becauae we saw in the hull= aggrandizement of Russia the germ of a future • struggle between a military despotism armed with a giant's strength, and the yet more powerful energies of civilized Europe. " For let it not be supposed that the other I‘lonarchies of Europe will feel at ease when they see the Russian Empire possessing itself of the means of asserting at any future time a complete naval supremacy in the Mediterranean. If the forts on the Bosphorus are demolished, but those on the Dardanelles left :34.nilin7, the navigation between the Black Sea and the Me' diterraneah becomes the absolute property of Russia ; Turkey will retain the power of closing the Dardanelles against every other nation, and that power she will be forced to wield in eiaet accordance igth Ole prescription of Russia ; an insult may thus be oared with impunity to every rival, for after all if any ec,l - 4iilaint should be tini,...2 1 , the offence will have been committed by one Power, however evidently the profit or advantage may be with another, " It is thererefore not from any enmity nainSt Ruai..,l that we regret the course which the pre sent war Mims taken ; on the contrary, we are fully sensible that all those Foyjnces which pass from the hands of a barbarous into tlic.cie pf a civilized despot, will gain incalculably by the change. But the a4vai4ltzes which Armenia and Bulgaria gain, will be ticar4r purchased by the feeling of insecurity that will be enter,t4;_=ned by the civilized nations of Europe, and first tuthi Zo;•ernost by Germany, as in more immediate contact with its mighty neighbour. It is not, probably, during, the reign of the preset Emperor that any col lision is to be apprehended ; but ;; time may cosec when the sceptre of the Czars may be wielded by a:Jt whose ambition shall only he his ilt to conceive and hi s surpassed by i.bn energy to execute the plans of feign conquest, and what would then be the situation of Europe ?" HAMBURG, SEPT. 18. BORsEN-lIALLI, Foun o 'cnocK.—Our arrivals of \Vheat from the interior during the last few days have been considerable ; as well of old Wheat, as of that of this year's harvest ; the latter is of good quality and heavy. Several of the best lots were taken, at reduced prices, for exportation, but a great part still remains unsold, and appears likely to con tinue to remain.—Some parcels of new Wheat re ceived from Holstein were damp, and every way of inferior quality. Of Rye our arrivals from Mecklenburg and Holstein were limited; the only purchaSers were our own consumers, and they bought up sparingly. Oats are looking up, the market being but scantily provided.

The Nurembiug Correspondent of the 14th September says, that the Russians had not only taken possession of Rodosto, but had shown themselves in the immediate vicinity of Con stantinople : FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 4. According to reports which are to day in circu lation in Belgrade, the Russians have occupied the whole line from Adrianople to Rodosto, and it is therefore to be presumed that the next mail from Constantinople (that of Aug. 25), will either not come at all, or pass as usual by way of Adrianople, through the Russian army. It is affirmed at Sem lin, that news has been brought there by a courier, that on the 27th of Aug. some light Russian troops had shewn themselves near Constantinople. THUP.INGITIA, SEPT. 8. It is said that a great state, past of whose terri tory belongs to Germany, is not disinclined to de part from the system of exclusion which it has hitherto followed in commercial matters, with re spect to other German States, particularly those belonging to the association of Central Germany, if proposals are made to it equivalent to the advan tages which it has derived from that system. It is affirmed that the Congress still assembled at Cassel, is engaged in discussing a plan:to this effect, and the result is the more impatiently expected, as the ne cessity is more felt of adopting decisive measures to remedy evils which are the ground of such nume rous complaints in most of the countries belonging to that Association, and against which the arrange ments of the first Convention of Cassel afford only very insufficient palliatives. " Austria is prol.al,ly meant. By the following. article from the Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 16th inst., it will be seen in what light the progress of the Russians is viewed by the commercial interests in Germany : FROM THE DANUBE, SEPT. 12. The victories of the Russians over the Turks begin to be more and more generally a cknowledged as a desii-able means of opening to the commerce of the European Continent, by an intercourse with Asia, a great market, which may and must be se cured against the arbitrary power of England. Hence the eager participation, the impatient curiosity after the news of the advance of General Diebitsch to the Turkish capital. It is remarkable that a foreign General should have acquired so much popularity by victories in remote countries, merely because these vict.nies seem to be a defeat of the Eng lish policy, which people are now convinced is inimical to the development of commerce and manufactures on the Continent. Hence proceeds the anxious fear lest General Diebitsch should be induced, by some diplomatic obstacle, suddenly to suspend his triumphant march to Con stantinople. This apprehension is kept up by those who see that nothing is to be hoped for their private interest, unless they succeed in gaining time, they therefore spread a report that the Russian General has concluded an armistice for 16 days ; but the Terl:s would not be able, in so short a time, to re pair the total dissolution of their military force, hence the armistice would have no object but to leave the English time to come to the support of their old friend in Constantinople. The friends of England, and of the Turks disregard (as a mere trifle) the circumstance that General Diebitsch has no reason what e ver to open a way for the British ships. The London Journals themselves have, however, observed that the Cabinet of S. James's would not be indisposed to send ships to the Black Sea, to burn the Russian establi4iments ; the Russians must therefore be destitute of re collection and foresight if they neglected to se cure themselves for ever against such a threat. When an opportunity preents itself of acquiring immortal glory, can it be supposed that this oppor tunity, which may never return, will be thought lessly or foolishly thrown away out of complaisance . for England, or from fear of the threats of those moriai.cli;ts. We see how arrogantly some people presume to apprec.i4tp . :lre exalted sentiments of the Emperor Nicholas. St. Petersburgh Gazettesof the 7th instant hay° lavo4 received, from which we make the following extracts. These Papers have no news of the capture of Adrianople, except as a report dated Odessa, 26th August : ET. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 6.—The Gazelle con tains 0:1,52 official Report of Admiral Greig of the taking of Aincola by a part of his fleet, consisting of one ship of the line, two friptes, two brigs, and three gun-boats. The enemy's garrison is stated to have amounted to 2,000 men, who fled ? and abandoned to their c&nrinerors the fortifications, which were equally important for their extent and strength. Thirty pieces of cannon, two mortars, and great magazines of military stores were found in the fortreii.

By tLz. , I rrival of the New York, Captain BENNET, from New Y 047., and the packet ship Boston, Captain MACKAY, from Boston, o f P a p= have been received at the North and South American Coar,hoi:4se to the 2d inst. " THE SPANISH INVADING " The schooner Eclipse, at New Orleans, from Tampico, which place she left 19th July, reports that part of the Spanish squadron which left Ha rannah, consisting of one ship of the line, one frigate, and two corvettes, had arrived, and were at anchor off that place. The transports having on board the troops had not yet been heard of. The Commandant at Tampico had received instructions from his Government to declare that port blockaded on the first appearance of the hostile fleet, which we infer has actually taken place in consequence of its arrival. It is also stated that a levy by Go vernment of ten millions of dollars was to take place on all monies that shall be brought from the interior, for the purpose of clothing and paying the army, which ►vas to be accounted for at the close of the campaign. Orders had been given to station 10,000 troops at Tampico, 18,000 at Carnpeachy, and at all the other places en the coast in the same proportion. The convoy, with 800,000 dollars, which was due at 'I ample° 16th July, had not arrived, bad weather it was sup posed had detained it. " It was reported at Trinidad de Cuba, on the 20th ult., that our Minister, Mr. Poinsett had been assassinated at Mexico; this we deem unworthy of credit." In a late - speech delivered by Mr. SHELL, at the Drogheda Independent Club, after lamenting, in terms not a little exaggerated, the recent and present disturbances in Ireland, the Learned Gentleman went on at some length to propose his remedies for their cure. Most of these are entitled to attention, as they bear evidence of having been put forth, only after a long and scrutinizing examination of the subjects at issue. Mr. SHEIL'S chief panacea, however,—and in this every well-wisher to the interests of Ireland will readily join with him—for the cure of his country's disorders, is a reform in the administra tion of justice. " I find," says the Learned Gentleman, " the Juries, both in the North and South, in cases which, unhappily, assume the character of party, almost exclusively Protestant. While this course is persevered in, the Catholics must, not because they are Catholics, but be cause they are men, be dissatisfied. The Crown ought, with a view to popular impression, and to the attainment of the great ends of justice, to en deavour to satisfy not only the just requisitions, but even the prejudices of the people. There fore, in every case which assumes the aspect of faction, care ought to be taken that those cases should be tried by a mixed Jury. If a Protes tant put upon his trial exercises his right of chal lenge, with a view to the exclusion of Catholics, the Crown should counteract this manoeuvre, and adopt such expedients as will produce a compound Jury." In the reasonableness of these opinions we cor dially coincide with Mr. Sum. Until justice is divested of her caste, until her orange banner is discarded in the North, as well as in the South of Ireland, until she assumes the majestic a►►d befitting aspect of impartiality, and award pu nishments to transgressors, not because they are Protestant or Catholic, Whig, Tory or Ultra- Tory, but because they are guilty, and propor tion that punishment to the extent of their guilt, . 1 not to that of their party ; until this be the case there can be no hope of a permanent tranquillity to Ireland. The Relief Bill has done much, and has yet to do more ; but strict, even im partial justice, must fill up the happy measure of Ireland's salvation. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWRLVR o' CLocr. The Hamburg steamer is arrived, by which we have received the hamburg Reporter of the 18th of September, which contains the following t-- " No official intelligence respecting the affairs of the East has reached us since Tuesday, but of rumours and speculations there has been in the mean while no scarcity. Of these the most important is one which got into circulation in Berlin shortly after the arrival of a courier from Constantinople, whose despatches, it is said, brought positive infor mation that the preliminaries of peace had been de finitively concluded between Russia and Turkey. The conditions agreed to are said to be the fol lowing " 1. Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria are to be placed under the sovereignty and protection of Russia. " 2. The unconditional emancipation of GrseCe is to be recognized, and its territory to be enlarged. " 3. Several fortresses on the Black Sea, taken by Count Paskewitsch, are to be ceded. " 4. The free navigation between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean is to be secured by the de molition of several of the fortresses on the Bos phorus. "5. A pecuniary indemnity of several hundreds of millions of rubles is to be paid to Russia, in con sideration of the expellees of the war; and, as the Sultan declares his incapacity to comply with this demand at present, security for the future payment is to be given." Consols, which left off yesterday at S9i for the account, opened this morning at 89g. Although there are no official accounts received as yet of the preliminaries having been biped be tween the Russians and Turks, we understand that the above event has absolutely taken place, and that the war may be considered at an end. The New York packet of tke Ist of September has arrived off Holyhead ; the papers and letters have not as yet been received. • . Accounts horn Burgundy bring very unfavour able tidings in regard to the vintage, which has completely failed.

Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they tvere 89a buyers, since which they have been done at 894 for the Account, arid at present may be quoted 894, and 891 for money. This depression was caused by a report on the Stock Exchange that the armistice between the Russians rind Torts was not true, and that the Russians had e ntered Constaiitiazple on the ?ith Aug. We can now positively state, 'frOm' the firs: 411 , thority, and beyond all doubt, that the armistice took place on the 29th August, and two days after preliminaries were signed between the Russians and 'forks, and there was not the least doubt it would termini:fp in a Peace.

CITY MARKETS—(TWO O'CLOCK. ) SUGAR. —The continued arrivals of British Plantation Sugars have increased the stock in the West India Docks to 51,050 hhds. and 3,800 trcs. The delivery last week for home consumption was rather above 3,000 hhds. The de mand for good grocery Supra continues. Sugars are not much in demand this morning. Berbice is quoted from 48s. to ;jos. Middling Jamaica, from 555. to 60s. Good ditto, from 60s. to 645. per cwt. COFFEE.—TI:e demand for Plantation Coffees con- times active. Ordinary Jamaica are quoted from SO& to 349. ; good, from 38s. to 429. per cwt. The late ad vance is maintained. Rum.—The deliveries last week were considerable, for exportation and for home consumption. Altogether 796 puns. and 50 hluls. were taken out of the West India Docks, leaving the stock yesterday 25,668 puncheons and 2,024. hogsheads. The market is firm, but not much business has been done to-day.—Brandy is in demand. TeA TRAM—Since the termination of the East India Company's declaration, business in Teas has not been ac tive, and prices range about the same as at the sale. In the country, as Well as the town trade, more competition exists at present than at any former period, from which the public derive great advantage. PROVISIONS.-This afternoon Government will take contracts for Provisions for the use of the Navy. There arc to be contracted fsr 13,000 tierces of Beef, and 13,000 tierces of Pork.—Much interest is felt in the trade to learn the terms of the contract. Hoes.—The alvices from the plantations this morning are more unfavourable than was expected : the duty is called 34,0001, but not expected to realise more than 30,000/. Prices remain without any material alteration. itUSSIAN PRODUCE.—The mercantile letters from St. Petersburgh, received by the Hamburg steam-boat this morning, are elated the 19th instant. The Exchange on Loudon remained at 10f, and there had been shipped off 115,000 casks of Tallow. This article was quoted from 100 to 101 rubles. British ships arrived 584, ditto sailed 469. Freights were scarce at 30s. per cwt. The stock of Tallow yesterday was 16,425 casks, and, as it will soon be much increased, the price is rather lower, being at 375. 9d. per cwt. There were delivered last week 2,700 casks. hemp is from 445. to 455., and Flax 355. per cwt. Wool. TRADE.—The recent heavy failures in the wool trade have rendered sales extremely difficult ; but hopes are indulged that the panic so severely felt within the last fortnight has arrived at its height, and confidence appears to be restored in some degree. In the quotations of Wool, both British and Foreign, there is no alteration for the better. THE SHIPPING INTEREST.--This important interest, we are informed, begins to exhibit symptoms of improve-. ment. The first and second class of ships are obtaining slightly advanced freights. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—As an old subscriber to your excelleat and rapidly extending Journal, 1 request the favour of your suggest ing (though in the " eleventh hour,") the following among the many other improvements that have been effected in the Post Office regulations. viz.:—the extension of " half an hour" for the delivery of newspapers into the receiving houses ; the accommodation would be so obviously great to the public at large, that, through your powerful instru mentality, I doubt not it would be acceded to ; and by way of rider, I would suggest that the postage usually granted to the bellinan, as his fee, should be reduced to a halfpenny, which in some districts, I ant informed, is all that is demanded, and am, therefore, at a loss to know why there should be two charges for the sante article. The subject, if I mistake not, was taken up about a twelvemonth since by one of your correspondents, (a Mr. Pettis), but with what success I was never informed. With many apologies for this intrusion, I am, Mr. Editor, your constant reader, Haymarket, Sept. 21, 1829. R. W. S. Sir WALTER SCOTT, Sir JAMES MACKIN 'roan, and Tuomas Mooax, Esq. are combined to form a popular History of the British Islands. The First Volume, by Sir WALTEn. Scorr, will appear on the Ist of November. Mr. 'I ITIRLIVAr.r., of Cambridge, has undertaken an History of Greece, for the same work. REPEAL OF TIIE UNION.--A letter has (we are credibly informed) been received within the last week, by a member of the late Catholic Association, from Mr. O'CoNNeLL, in which the Honourable Gentleman states his intention, immediately after his arrival in Dublin, to propose the plan of a Society, whose object will be a re peal of the Union. In the letter to which we refer, Mr. O'CONNELL, expresses a sanguine confidence in the co-ope ration of all Irishmen of all parties.—Dub/in Freeman's Journal. It was the intention of Captain DICKEN SON'S friends to have given him a dinner on the occasian of l;ip hopourahle acquittal; but the idea has been relin quished, from a ly fah to avoid all appearance of pal y feeling.—Portsmouth Herald. FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF BAR RINGTON.-The remains of the late much respecied Eirl of HARRINGTON were brought to:the town mansion, at an e ,rly hour on Sunday morning; and it is at length finally decided by the Noble Family that the funeral shall not be a military one. The body is to be interred in a vault, bOontzing to the family, at his seat, in Derbyshire, for seventy-six years of age, n which purposeit will' be removed io„.inorro-v unn•ni4g (this day). His Lordship was born on the 20th March, y rroneously been stated. The wife of the New Prime Minister of France was the Hon. GEORGIANA SARAH PARKINS, a e d ve ‘ n va ty s,. se c v o e n n s , eq a t s te h n a t s l e daughter of the late, and sister to the present, Lord RA cr al7rl not 53a1 ; pLIFy7.• At an early age the Princess married the Mar quis PE cuotstif., a French Nobleman; and subsequent to the Marquis's demise, she was united to the Prince De Poi.twcAc, soon after he was appointed Ambassador-Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of the Tuileries to this country. The Princess is in her thirty-eighth year, and h as a n infant family by her present distinguished husband. IL °TWAY CAVE, ESQ. (From the Tipperary Free Pres: of Saturday.) This distinguished gentleman was entertained at a public dinner on Tuesday lait, at Mrs. Boyton's hotel. During the early part of the day the streets were thronged with people, some of whom came a distance of ten and twelve miles to get a look at this patriotic gentleman, and pay some mark of re spect to him who has taken so lively an interest in their welfare—notwithstanding the exertions used, and the remonstrances made to the people by the gentlemen engaged in getting up the dinner, that no Demonstrations should be trade, an arch was erected across the street by which he was to enter the town, about a mile from which he was met by at least 2,000 persons, who took the horses from his carriage and drew him into town amid shouts which rent the sky; a number of gentlemen had assembled at the inn to meet him, but the crowd here became so dense that they could not get near his carriage, from the top of which he addressed the assembled multi tude, amounting to at least 4,000 persons.—After thanking them for the reception they had given him, and descanting on the wrongs and injuries they had suffered, he desred them to be patient, to be peace able and orderly in their conduct, to give up the abominable practice of fighting among themselves, to obey the laws, to attend to the advice of their excellent Clergy, to leave their grievances to be re dressed by their leaders, and he was certain of see ing the brave, the generous, and warm-hearted people of the country, before another year would pass over, comfortable and happy in spite of the machina tions of the vile faction who were endeavouring to counteract the good effects which would grow from Catholic Emancipation, and which had been retarded by their efforts; he reminded them of the advice so often bestowed on them by Mr. O'Con nell and the Catholic Association, and said" if ever man deserved well of his country, that man is Mr. O'Connell ; he will disabuse the Parliament and the English mind of the calumnies which have • been heaped on you, and that you have been mis represented and calumniated I can myself bear per sonal testimony." He concluded a lOng addreset • during the delivery of which he was repeatedly cheered, by saying that in any way he could be in- • strumental in advancing the interests of Ireland, be begged of them to call on him, and to be assured that he was not only ready and willing, buranxioue to do every thing in his power to promote its wel fare ; he then visited the Chapel and other p u blic buildings, with ‘lhich he seemed much pleased. We shall give the particulars of the dinner -1/ the next post. THE KING'S H EALTIL—We believe we may affirm that our pages are as frequently honoured with the notice of the highest personage in the State as those 01 our most boastful contemporaries ; and it might hence be presumed that our acquaintance with the interior of his elegant residence was as intimate. We profess, however, that the report which we repeat from the Journals of the day, touching his MAJESTY'S health, receives no tional authenticity from its appearance in our columns. Its truth or falsehood we have no means of ascertaining, el' though we hope it is unfounded, and believe it 16 be ex aggerated. It has been said until it has been credited , that the KING has of late suffered from an affection in one of his eyes. Some describe it as of the nature of cataract, others as gotta serene. The former (at least many ef . the forms of it) is capable of being removed by the well known operation of couching; the latter is more insidious in its approaches, and not easily repelled. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that even decided amaurosis wholly desperate. Whether the visitation under which his 'MAJESTY is represented as labouring be slight or severe, temporary or permanent, it cannot fail to be a subject of very deep and sincere concern. It is a matter of thank fulness at the same time, that according to the most par ticular statements of our contemporaries, only one of ths orbs of vision is in danger; and, what is of extreme im portance to the cure or alleviation of any local affectioer his MAJESTY'S general health is excellent. The Editor of the Court Circular, indeed, places that fact beyond all doubt, in his faithful chronicle of the Royal progresses is the environs of the Cottage.— Spectator. RICHELIEU, A TALE OF THE COUIIT 01 FRANCE.—Few works have excited greater interest, or ad. vanced more powerful claims to public attention than this tale, which is understood to be the production of Lanza of Dr. JAMS. Unlike the majority of historical novels, sre are assured that the author has not called in the aid of fic tion, Lut has chosen an epoch in French annals, r eplete with sterling and striking events. He has succeeded in delineating, with an able hand, the character of an loth` vidual, who, by his extraordinary genius, craft, and energfs, m a soon raised himself to sovereign power, swayed with a of iron the destinies of France, and attracted by a seri es of daring exploits, the attention of Europe. - - EAST INDIA MONOPOLY.—Mr. BVCI C : INGHAM'S Lectures on the Oriental World, and especi e " on the Evils of the East India Monopoly, continue to be followed in every town in which they are delivered, W it , the most unequivocal demonstrations of their polder" ful effect ; and have already led to the formation of A o° ciations awl Committees in various parts of the country' fn• the purpose of organising a constitutional and effect opposition to any further renewal of the East India Coo" potty's exclusive Charter. With a view to bring his Le e ' tures within the means of all classes to attend, Mr. HM BU CK INGA has reduced the rates of admission, and th ere" greatly increased the number of his audiences; and foll':f ing out the same principle, he has also reduced the price to his Monthly Journal, the Oriental Herald, from O h ' . w 3s. 6d. per number, which has been already followed a, largely increased demand for the work. It may, i,.. he % fore, be safely presumed that there will now be few Pl i o lies or individuals in the respectable walks of life, its will not be anxious to make themselves acquainted wit".o-0 contents. In addition to the latest and best inferno" of on all topics connected with the Policy and Commerce* the East, the Oriental Herald will now contain th ree' ' , tinct Series of Original and Entertaining Articles s Lectures on Palestine, including an enlarged view of cred Criticiam, and Scriptural Illustrations in dets" o r Travels in Egypt, Nubia, and Arabia, and an acc otot, be the splendid Antiquities to be seen on the Banks of 13 Nile ; and a Voyage along the Coast of Malabar , CeYl°l3:, Coromandel, Golconda, and Bengal ; including all principal ports between Bombay , M adras, and Caloool _ These three Series, which con sist of matter equally ior e resting to the Biblical Rea der, the Antiquarian, and t,eo Lover of Voyages and Tra vels in distant regions a P i , globe, cannot fail to re nder the work acce p table to $ classes.

LITERATURE. FAIIILX LIBRARY. HISTORY OF THE Jiws, VOL. IL-LONDON. W 9. The present volume of this varied and in structive history is worthy the well-known ta lents of the author of the " Fall ofJerusalem." It displays great research, and frequently upon points which have hitherto been little understood, or appreciated, such, for instance, us the do mestic history and political qualities of Herod. King of Judea, a Statesman and warrior of whom, though his name has passed into a pro verb, comparatively little is known : his suc cessful intrigues ; first with Antony, secondly with Augustus, and, above all, the temper and quality of his connexion with the celebrated but ill-starred Asmonean Princess, Mariamne. Few histories are more entertaining, more dignified, or more fraught with materials for instruction than the Jewish, and by none could greater jus tice have been done to it than by Mr. Millman, The style of this gentleman is elegant but vi gorous, and flows on in a rapid, easy current, so much so, that his present history may be perused with advantage, not only for the correctness and spirit of its details, but as a model of sound English composition, which is seldom or never the case with the popular miscellanies of the day. We subjoin a favourable specimen of the style : " Thus, abroad, success seemed to wait on all the de signs of Herod : the neighbouring kings might admire and envy the good fortune, or rather the consummate ability, with which he extricated himself from all his difficulties, and continued advancing in the career of pros perity and power; but at home the most miserable peasant might compassionate the wretchedness which filled his palace with dissension, crime, and bloodshed. The mag nificence of Ilerod'a public life is strangely contrasted with the dark tragedy of his domestic history. Mari amne bad again extorted the fatal charge entrusted to Soemus; and indignant at the jealous determination of her husband, that she should not survive him, she met him on his return with repulsive indifference, and even with undissembled dislike. Herod struggled between his love and his indignation ; till one (lay, instead of submitting to his caresses, in the height of her passion she reproached him, in terms of the utmost bitterness, with his barbarous conduct to her relations. The envious Salome watched every opportunity of inflaming the resentment of her brother; and suborned his cup-bearer to accuse Hari amne of having bribed him to administer a poisonous philtre, or love-potion, to his master. Herod commanded her favourite eunuch, to whom all her secrets were en tru.ted, to be put to the rack. The tortured man denied all knowledge of the poisen, but exclaimed, that the con duct of his mistress was entirely owing to the information she had received from Soemus. Furious at this new proof of her infidelity, he ordered Soemus to he dispatched at once, and summoned Alariamne before a Itibunal of judges, who were too much in dread of his power not to pass the sentence of death. Still Herod hesitated ; he had no immediate intention of proceeding further than im prisonment; but his mother and sister so worked on his moody and violent temper that he at length issued out the fatal orders for her execution. To the horror of the spectators, her mother Alexandria assailed the wretched Mariamne, as she went to death, with a violent invective against her ingratitude to so gentle and affectionate a hus band, loudly declaring that she deserved the fate she was about to suffer. The Queen passed on in silence with the dignity of conscious virtue ; though deeply wounded at this disgraceful and hypocritical conduct of her mother, who thus sought to avert the suspicions of Herod from herself, and to save her own life at the sacrifice of her daughter's honour, she would not condescend to betray her emotion. She met her death with tie calm intrepidity of innocence, and died worthy of the noble house of which the last blood flawed in her veins. She was a wetnan of unrivalled beauty and a haughty spirit : un happy in being the object of passionate attachment, which bordered on frenzy, to a man who had more or less concern in the murder of her grandfather, father, brother, and uncle, and who had twice commanded her death in case of his own. Strange conflict of duties! who shall decide, what ought to have been her feelings and her conduct? " All the passions, which filled the stormy mind of Herod, were alike without bound : from violent love, and violent resentment, he sank into as violent remorse and despair. Everywhere, by day and night, he was haunted by the image of the murdered Mariamne ; he called upon her name ; he perpetually burst into passionate tears. In vain he tried every diversiou,—banquets, revels, the ex citement of society. A sudden pestilence broke out, to which many of the noblest of his court and of his own personal friends fell a sacrifice; he recognised, and trembled beneath the hand of au avenging Deity." CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY.—No. XLV. NATURAL HISTORY OF SELBORNE.--EDINBURGH, 1829. There are few more entertaining studies in the world than natural history, few of which the ten dency is more uniformly beneficial. Properly directed—and it is one of those particular pur suits which can scarcely take an improper direc tion—it improves and enlarges the mind, refines its sense of beauty, extends the range of its ideas, and by inducing it to dwell on, and minutely survey, the varied wonders of creation, familia rizes it with the matchless arrangement and har mony of its phenomena, and thereby gives to philosophical reflection additional reason for admiring the power, wisdom, and beneficence of him who, to adopt the sublime language of sacred writ, " holds the sea in the hollow of his hand, and fills worlds with the surpassing grandeur of his presence. Natural history is the finest of all possible remedies for a sceptical turn of mind. It leads to conviction and belief by the silent but expressive process of thought, and so truly is this the case, that we never vet heard of a man who made natural history his study for any length of time, who did not draw from that very pursuit his chief arguments for the belief of a superior Being. The well-known anecdote of the German metaphysician, who one day in a wood beheld by chance the skeleton of a dog, is an eminent instance in point. He took up the framework of the animal, he surveyed it in de tail, he examined its uses and its properties, and was so struck with its exquisite arrangement, that he became at once convinced that none but some superior intelligence of a nature incompre hensible to man, but who spoke to the reason in his works, could have composed so matchless a piece of mechanism. The work before us is the production of a man who argues and believes upon similar prin ciples. It is imbued with a strong devotional feeling, and is so simple in its style, so amiable in its turn of thought, so gentle and benign in its philosophy, that it cannot fail to afford general de light. Its simplicity, however, and this quality it shares in common with old Isaac Walton's Guide to Angling, is its chief recommendation. Like the Tottenham angler, Mr. Gilbert White is perpetually vaunting the picturesque beauties of his native village. The fields, the flowers, the cuckoo that sings in the woods, and the lark that makes vocal the shies of Selborne, each and all meet with marked attention in his pages, and are expatiated on as if they were so many dear friends whose praises he could never be tired of rehearsing. At times this simplicity is pushed to the most amusing degree—we will not say of absurdity, for that is an unkind phrase to use, but—of quaintness. The author talks in one place with a diverting air of seriousness, of " those vast mountains, the Epsom Downs in another, of the " rugged and gloomy scenery of the Glens," which glens consist of a cross road, seven feet deep, and overgrown with a few wild blackberries ; in a third, " of the Royal Forest of Wohner, which is seven miles in length by two and a half in breadth ;" in a fourth, of " those majestic mountains, the Sussex Downs ;" in a fifth, of " three considerable lakes" in his darling parish, each of which is of the size of an ordinary village pond; and in a variety of other places, " of those matchless scenic attractions in which Selborne is confessedly pre-eminent." It is this unique simplicity, this amusing and harm less grandiloquence, this perfect conviction on the part of the author, that no parish on earth equals his idolized Selborne, that forms the charm of his present volume. But another fea ture, scarcely less attractive, is the graphic power of his description. The fresh woodland air breathes, the stream sparkles, the fOrest leaves rustle in his pages ; every word almost is in itself a picture,—as for instance, where he talks of the " hungry lean sand of the forest," of the little golden-crowned wren, " that shadow of abird,"— and brings the image it would represent full and vigorous before the reader's eye. We give a spe cimen of this power, it is the opening account of the village of Selborne : " The parish of Selborne lies in the extreme eastern corner of the county of Hampshire, bordering on the county of Sussex, and not far from the county of Surrey: is about fifty miles south-west of London, in latitude 51, and near midway between the towns of Alton and Peters field. Being very large and extensive, it abuts on twelve parishes, two of which are in Sussex, viz., Trotton and Rogate. If you begin from the south and proceed west ward, the adjacent parishes arc Etnshot, Newton, Va lence, Faringdon, Harteley, Mantilla, • Gre.tt Wardleham, Kingsley, Hadleigh, Bramshot, Trotton, Rogate, Lysse, andGreatham. The soils of this district are almost. as various and diversified as the views and aspects. The high part to the south-west consists of a vast hill of chalk, rising 300 feet above the village ; and is divided into a sheep down, the high wood, and a long hanging wood called the Hanger. The covert of this eminence is alto gether beech, the most lovely of all forest trees, whether we consider its smooth rind or bark, its glossy foli,ge, or its graceful pendulous boughs. The down or sheep-walk, is a pleasing park-like spot, of about one mile by half that space, jutting out on the verge of the hill country. where it begins to break down into the Alai as, and commanding a very engaging view, being an assemblage of hill, dale, woodlands, heath, and water. The prospect is bounded to the south-east and east by the vast range of mountains called The Sussex Downs, by Guild-down near Guild ford, and by the Downs round Dorking, and nyegate in Surrey, to the north-east, which altogether, with the country beyond Alton, and Farnham, form a noble and cx• tensive outline. " At the foot of this bill, one stage or step from the uplands, lies the village, which consists of one single straggling street, three quarters of a mile in length, in a sheltered vale, and running parallel with the Hanger.— The houses are divided from the bill by a vein of stiff clay (good wheat land), yet stand on a rock of white stone, little in appearance removed from chalk, lint seems so far frogn being calcareous, that it endures extreme heat.— Yet that the freestone still preserves somewhat that is analogous to chalk, is plain from the beeches, which de scend so low as those rocks extend, and no farther, and thrive as well on them, where the ground is steep, as on the chalks. " The cart-way of the village divides, in a remarkable manner, two very incongruous soils. To the south-west is a rank clay, that requires the labour of years to render it mellow ; while the gardens to the north-east, and small enclosures behind, consist of a warm, forward, crumbling mould, called black maim, which seems highly saturated with vegetable and animal manure; and these may per haps have been the original site of the town, while the woods and coverts might extend down to the opposite bank. " At each end of the village, which runs from south eaSt to north-west, arises a small rivulet; that zit the north-west end frequently fails—hut the other is a fine perennial spring, little influenced by drought or wet sea sons, called Well-head. This breaks out of some high grounds adjoining to Nore-hill, a noble chalk promon tory, remarkable for sending forth two streams into two different seas. The one to the south becomes a branch of the Arun, running to Arundel, and so falling into the British Channel ; the other to the north. The Selborne stream makes one branch of the Wey—and, meeting the Black-down stream at ifedleigh, and the Al ton and Farnham stream at Tilford-bridge, swells into a considerable river, navigable at Godalming ; from whence it passes to Guildford, and so into the Thames at Way bridge ; and thus at the Nore into the German Ocean." The historian of this secluded village was a clergyman of the Church of England, who was born at Selborne in the year 1720, and after taking his degree at Oxford, " fixed his residence in his native parish, where he spent the greater part of his life in literary occupations, and es pecially in the study of nature." He died in 1793, respected and beloved by all who had the good fortune to know him. His disposition was naturally unambitious; he had no hankering after church preferment, no desire for splendour, no thirst for notoriety ; but glided noiselessly along the stream of time from youth to age, unruffled by any of those shifting gales which beset more adventurous navigators. Though he lived during periods of extraordinary public ex citement ; though he witnessed the rebellion of '45, and the American and French revolutions, they had not the slightest effect on his mind, which seems to have been impassive to all but the sylvan charms of Selborne. On this village he has accordingly conferred no fleeting popu ' larity ; he has registered its every glen, heath, meadow, oak, and streamlet, and commemorated the sweet music of its birds in a style of rustic simplicity that few English writers can equal. In addition to this he has had the rare merit of drawing forth and fixing the pastoral genius of Miss Mitford, whose sylvan sketches, sometimes even her very words, have been manifestly modelled on the " natural history of Selborne." CAIN, THE WANDERER; AND OTHER POEMS. LONDON, 1829. 'e noticed at more than our usual length, a few days since, the leading poem in this intelli gent collection, mentioning at the same time that we should take an early opportunity of re verting to the subject. This promise we shall here proceed to fulfil, moved thereto by our ad miration of the extraordinary spirit, eloquence, and impassioned character of the author's mind. To say, however, that he is decidedly original, would be to say of him what can be said but of few, if any of the poets of the present day. One thing, however, we may venture to observe, that the thoughts and images of others assume new forms, are instinct with new beauties, in his hands. Byron, for instance, is manifestly one of those master minds, to whose transceintant powers of thought and expression he has delighted to ley himself under obligation ; yet the imitation is of so generous, so poetic, so independent a charac ter, so perfectly free from servility, that it scarcely deserves the name of imiLtion. What, for in stance, can be more spirited, at the same time more just, than the. annexed definition of imagi nation ? The hint—which is there crude and unformed enough—is taken from " Childe I-la • road," but the filling up, clothing, and enriching with language and sentiment,is the author's own. He is speaking, we should premise, of man : " In thyself the cause is of the happiness, The imagivative faculty, that draws And moulds creation subject to its laws; That toakc,s itself the central, like the san Hueing and quickening all it looks upon; That sees eternity its ken surround ; That feels God throned i' the infinite around ; His visual Presence in the lightning path, And in the clouds his ministers of wrath, Or Lye ; and in the stars sphere music, and Visions come to him from the unknown land Of the Dead, and voices answer from the wood, And the Airs talk to him in solitude And thou bait shaped, or host, in thine own breast, A power to meet these separate, cr compressed Intensely upon each, or freed from thrall, A spirit, feeling, hearing, answering all!" In the same poem, " On Deity," our author has worked out an idea given him by Words worth, in that mildly thoughtful and philosophi cal poem, " The Banks of Wye," where he alludes to the different feelings with which he looked on nature in youth, and in more matured manhood, with very poetic effect : " Still let me buoy myself with dreams of Thee : Though like all others based on phantasy. I know thee not, I feel thee not; for those Thrillings with which my ardent being glows When struggling from its clay, are my own hopes, That sink again, as thought all vainly copes With the infinity that overpowers. And gone for ever are those happy hours, When faith was certainty to youth's quick ken; 0 how my spirit mounted to thee then ! I sought thee not amon , the haunts of men, My heart yearned towards b Nature, for I felt Intelligence between us, and love dwelt, That drew me to her as is drawn a child To its natural mother ! by the grey crag wild, In the solemn forest, by the rushing sea, I heard the sounds that spoke to me of thee ! 0 how my heart its full idolatry poured Then to the setting suns ! yea, half adore?, Forgetting them thy symbols—soul was full— All eye, all feeling of the beautiful ! That was my natural life, though false, a dream, But one most blessed ; we can not redeem The past, and regret were weak : our days roll on, And with them those wild impulses are gone; And time and grief and passion change us so, That even our very selves we should not know, But by sad memories; the nerves are dead That once thrilled feeling, and the glory shed, Haloing all objects with its light, is o'er; The imaginative eye awakes no more !" he chief fault of the poem " On Deity," from which the above are brief extracts, is its meta physical character. It is clouded with affected mystery, as if the author knew more than he chose to communicate, and this vague, indefinite aspect, gives it a very ungracious appearance. It is besides too ambitious, the gnat strives too openly to swallow the camel. Now, these are defects, and no slight ones ; the subjects of all poetry, like the language, should be simple ; whatever is harsh and crude and mysterious in conception must necessarily be the same in expression. " The Deity," notwithstanding it has many grand ideas, comes particularly under this head. Of the poem, however, on " The Naiad," we can speak in the most unqualified terms of praise. It is, in fact, an exquisitely poetic little gem, conceived and brought forth from the rapturous union of feeling with fancy. The idea itself is happy, full of classic beauty, and is no less worthily wrought out : " It was a vale most rich in shadow ; winding Like the bright stream which threaded it through trees Thick clustering, or at intervals revealing Through the dim vistas glimpses of bright haunts More lovely from their distance : shutting out All, save delicious airs which bore on wings Odours of hidden flowers. Sun and shade Stole over it by turns like changing dreams : Now brightening spots steeped in most living hues, Now throwing deeper softness over that Which lay before so witchingly in quiet ! Far off, remote on the horizon's verge, Rose the blue hills girding the azure sky, Leaving the vale in commune with its heaven. It was a spot such as the mind shapes forth When revelling in dreams of old romance; Or picturing those haunts of leafy shadow Wheee the daughters of the earth might slumber, when The angels left their heaven to kneel to them. This is the Naiad's haunt : and lo ! beside The root of that grey tree, o'ercanopying With its woven branch the stream, and veiling it In slumber and in coolness from the sun, She stands half leaning. eyeing the dark water." " She stood by the c - ,treine brink of that blue stream : The image of herself so standing was Reflected to the lightest hair escaped From the braid of her redundant tresses, parting Over her glossy shoulders, tangling down Her neck and bosom. She looked on the water, And saw her visible self returned : the same In hue and stature, and each rounded limb Swelling with breathing life—and yet a shadow ! The sky loooked in behind her, anti they were Alone together ! What were then her thoughts ? For her eye is'lighted up, and a faint smile Is on her parting lips : and then a shade Stole over them but slight, so slight, as scarce ' Perceptible. Perchance she saw and felt How beautiful she was ; that she stood there, The form all would resemble, the embodied ' Being all dream of, sighing to possess. , That consciousness gave light to her dark eye, . And the faint dimpling smile on her soft cheek ; And then, it may be, a shade of sadness, mindful Of all she bad heard of love, yet loving none: For she had seen none like herself :—a leaf Fell lightly down by her and startled away The halfformed rising sigh !" l The Naiad's half-formed consciousness of her beauty, which lit up her face with a smile, is no less archly than gracefully and naturally imagined, while the falling leaf that startled her, conveys a fine idea of the fairy fragility of the sylph, such as Ovid has painted her. We proceed:— " She looked around— But who e'er yet profaned that sanctuary ? She was there as atone as is the star In the solitudes of heaven ! To her hair She raised her slender fingers, and unloosing The silk knot, down it fell, even to her knees, In rich profusion, like the ripened tendrils Of the purple glowing vine. Then, bending graceful, She drew the golden sandal from her foot, And stept upon the green moss among flowers, As p:le and azure as their veins ! The zone She unclasped, and her white robes fell flora her, As lightly as the silver shading flakes From the front of the orbed moon ! And she stood there In all the unveiled majesty of beauty: A form shaped from the finest of earth's element, And breathing with a soul and life from heaven !" Oue more extract, and we must take our leave of the « Naiad ;" the author is speaking of woman and her power : " Our earliest dreams of beauty are from her, Their archetype : she is love's visible image, And when man kneels, 'tis not idolatry, For site is fairest purest symbol of Him Who made her and the world around in love, The source of all our gentler feelings whence They are drawn, that humanise us from the hrutes. The only prop (weak though she be) who stands Firmest in sickness, and sorrow, yea, in guilt, When man, and all have left us, even our God. But still she standeth by car conch like to The Angel of Charity, or Mercy's self! And smiles on, and doth close the dying eye, And dead —becomes our living monument." The sentiment conveyed in the .last line is exquisitely beautiful. " London at 11lidnight," is a stbinn expressive poem, full of lofty thoughts and natural images. Its only failing is, that here trki there time author has thro4 in a few of his Irftcaphyical s;:ectdations, ~vl.leh do any thi:tg but lireit:ie the graceS of Stiljcet. The follow ng war sung will speak for itself:— " Where, whin the freeman hail struck his last stroke, Anti the laud of his fathers is bow,-(1 to time yoke, Is the hist spot of refuge ...Acre cannot rlav ? On that field where lie conquered, his home is the &Nave! O tl en though the tyrant should build there his throne, And look round a chtspr, anti call it his own: Though the yokes of toitouph be heard on the air, He shall look on that grave and frel freedom is there !" Before taking leave, we cannot, highly as we value the strength, tendernes ,, , and richness of the author's imagination, allow ourselves to be blinded to his defects. Of two things then we would here warn him ; they are the quick sands on which many a fine mind (Coleridge's for inst•zace) has split. The first especially, is the most dangerous, as it is the most alluring ; we mean tl►e introduction of trite metaphysical theories which mar the progress of the poem, throw a coldness and conceit over is s beauties, and encumber and mystify its style. he se cond is a less hazardous defect certainly, but still unworthy of one who desires to assume high station as a poet ; it is a culpable affectation of negligence in the structure and mechanism of verse. in this defect, the author of " Cain," unfortunately for himself abounds ; he spins bad lines, and thinks he is imitating the free dashing ease of Dryden. , Now nothing can be more mistaken than this notion, and in his future poems we hope he will be prevailed on to correct it. FINE ARTS. We have just seen a few engravings of a new work, entitled " The Landscape Annual," which is splendidly bound in Morocco, is of a size larger than " The Keepsake," and altogether is on a scale of uncommon splendour, both as re gards the embellishments and the letter-press.— It will consist, we understand, of twenty-six line engravings, together with eighteen sheets of letter-press, embracing varieties of an amusing and select character. The literary department is under the superintendance of Mr. T. Roscoe, and the illustrations under that of Mr. C. Heath. From the specimens we have seen of the scenic engravings, which have been taken by Mr. Prout on the spot, we have no hesitation in pronouncing them of a very superior character. HAYMARKET TIIEATRE.—A new comedy in three acts, entitled Procrastination, or the late Mr. ll—, was brought out last night at this theatre. The plot turns chiefly on the inconveniences occasioned by a man who is always defending the moment of decision, and can never seasonably make up his mind to any thing, not even to marry the girl to whom he is attached. The piece, we understand, is adapted from the French by Mr. How Ann PAYNE, and was tolerably successful. On Tuesday, as the Plymouth Mail was ascending the bill at Pencalenick, within two miles of Truro, from the heavy state of the roads, occasioned by the almost continued fall of rain, and the weight of the car riage, the of of the leaders broke the pole, and they became separated from the coach, which the wheel horses were no longer able to manage, and it went over with a feat ful crash. The four out4de passengers, with the coachman—the guard was walking—were precipitated into the road, and were more or less bruised ; one of them, Mrs. AARON, of Truro, rather seriously, but fortunately no limbs were broken. The four inside passengers escaped unhurt, or neatly so.—Falmouth Packet. On Saturday morning the 01(1 Telegraph, I. Ramsgate coach, was overturned about two miles on this side of Sitting,bourne. The coachman (who has driven the coach for the last thirty years) was driving, at the time of the accident, at the rate of about seven miles an hour, when the horses suddenly took fright at a party of girl women in red cloaks, who were passing, and darted off at a most furious rate. The driver lost all command over them, and they had not proceeded far before they ran the coach upon the footpath, and it immediately turned over. There were at the time of the accident four inside and ten outside passengers. Among the latter were a lady and her two daughters, attended by a female servant. One of the young ladies was thrown under the coach, which falling upon her crushed her in so dreadful a manner as to cause her instant death. The other passengers escaped with only a few slight bruises : they acknowledged that no blame whatever was attributable to the coachman. The body of the unfortunate young lady was conveyed to a pubic-house in Key-street to await a coroner's inquest. A misconception has arisen with regard to Exchequer Bills, which we ate enabled satisfactorily to re move. It has been stved that heavy losses have accrued to those holders of Exchequer Bills who do not present them in sufficient time, according to the notice, and ob tain others in lieu of them, and who are obliged to take the amount in money, thereby losing the premium altt.ge ther. The fact is, that the Lords of the Treasury hare, in the present instance, deviated from their usual practice, by allowing the holders guilty of such neglect to have the opportunity of receiving Exchequer Bills, but not until the end of the new quarter ; so that the only loss to be sustained will he the interest on such Exchequer Bills for three months. We understand that a private communica tion to this effect has been made from the Exchequer Bill Office to a party in the City having a large amount at stake. The usual practice at the Exchequer Bill Office is, to allow the holders of Exchequer Bills only money, in stead of new Bills, should they not be presented iu time.— Morning Chronicle. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE UPON A MA CISTRATE.—On Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, a most disgraceful attack was made upon Mr. LAING, one of the Miigistrates of Hatton-garden. At the time above stated, Mr. LAING was passing through Lamb's Conduit street, when he was accosted by a man selling matches, and who had stationed himself in front of a grocer's shop, No. 7S. Mr. LAING, after having been addressed by the 111111, entered the grocer's shop, and inquired if a con stable could be procured, adding " it is not the first time this rascal has accosted me." No constable, however, being upon the spot, and the shopkeeper feeling reluctant to expose his property to a crowd who had assembled, Mr. LAING seized the mendicant by the collar, and drawing him into the shop, ordered the shopkeeper to detain him till he procured assistance from Hatton-garden. The shopkeeper, however, objected to detain the man, saving he had no authority so to do. Mr. LAING then said, " I sin a Ma gistrate—my name is LAING, and I desire you to detain the man till I procure further assistance." The shops keeper, however, declined to detain the man unbela, LAING remained, and at this moment a wateh - ;taan making his appearance, Mr. LAING ordered Lira to procure the assistance of some constable. Iluring this time the beggar had made repeated. applications to be allowed to depart, saying, " he its 1 only asked for a penny or two, to save himself from starvation ;" but his entreaties, livwevar, t w e re disregarded, and he was informed that Ice ribould be punished for his conduct. Tho man, bowevcr, fi n di ng th e feeling of the crowd in his favour, chang e d his t one , an i attempted to obtain his lil•e:ty by force. 1 - ila exertions were opposed by Mr. LAING, who kept him at bay with the point of his umbrella; hut the beggar endeavoured to close w ith hi s oNiownt, and the shopkeeper interfering, the three fell on the floor together. The crowd, who had manifested some impatience far the beggar to be liberated, here burst open the shop door, and s:weral rufliaros otiaeae , i the shop, and attacked Mr. LAING, whom tla,ay deprived of his hat, and assaulted his; in a ino . s; alaamoful manner. The cry set up by the oaaad Was ` 4 Bonnet him—bring him out." The c - _,pheelarr, however, succeeded in drag f..?jll; away from his esiailant , , and removed him to a r,:mit up stairs.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• Information reached Government on Sunday that the Russian Commander-in-Chief had con sented to an armistice with the Turks along the whole line of his operations, on - the 29th O.— The news, as will be seen by our city article, produced a favourable impression on the price of the public funds. It ought, however, to be recollected that the cessation of actual hosti lities, though gratifying as the first step towards the establishment of a final accommodation, is not necessarily productive of any pacific arrange ment. An armistice is not a peace ; and the asquiescence of the Russian General in a propo sition to delay his advance upon Constantinople till he has heard from St. Petersburg'', is no proof that the answer of Ids master will be favourable to the establishment, on the pro posed terms, of permanent tranquillity. The Allied Ambassadors, after consulting the mode rated temper of the Sultan, have again offered their mediation between the contendiug parties. Their guarantee could of course only extend to the disposition of the Porte to treat, and not to the particular stipulations of a definitive treaty, which a military commander could have no autho rity to conclude. But as the Sultan at the eleventh hour is brought to the confession of weakness, and has expressed.a desire for peace on reasonable terms, a hope may be entertained, from the moderation and prudence of the Res sian Government., that extravagant claims will not be advanced to mask the ulterior assertion of ambitious designs. It is said that the Turk ish Ambassadors arrived at Adrianople on the 27th ult., and the Russian General gave orders for the cessation of hostilities along his whole line on the 29th, The next arrivals must be extremely important.— Times. We have often heard it alleged, that the brewers have a direct interest in the House of Commons, which can " bring to the scratch" on any critical occasion between sixty and seventy votes ! Whether this calculation be numeri cally. correct, we know not; but it seems un doubted that some monstrous force must be at hand to overpower for many years, and in the face of national resentment and disgust, the men of landed property, whose produce is discouraged —the public, whose health and comforts arc im paired—and the Government itself, whose love of fair dealing towards the great body of the King's subjects must be grievously thwarted by that most odious of all monopolies which the b r ewers of the metropolis and elsewhere perpe tually exercise over the consumption of the ar ticle manufactured by them under the name of porter. There is no slave like the occupier of a public-house which has been licensed (and they are all so licensed) on the representation, os through the interest, of a brewer. No matter how abominable the trash with which he is com pelled to supply his customers, nor how loud their complaints of being poisoned by his bever age, instead of refreshed by it ; nor how in tense his anxiety to furnish them with more palatable and wholesome liquor—vend the per• nicious potion he must, or quit the premises, which he holds on no other tenure than that of serving out whatever vapid or leporous draught the brewer, who is at once his land lord, patron, wholesale merchant, and arbitrary tyrant, thinks fit, through the alehouse-keeper, to impose upon a helpless neighbourhood. power of selling beer ought, on the face of things, to be no more obstructed or restrained than that of selling potatoes. If the care of the public morals be adduced as an apology for such an encroachment on the first principles of com merce, why should such an enormous power as Ithat of granting or withholding the privilege, be placed in hands where it is, and ever has been, notoriously jobbed for selfish and rapacious pur poses ? If a guarantee for the observance of decency and propriety must be exacted, let it be • so precise,.and at the same time so general, that every man who wishes to embark in the business of a publican shall know distinctly what legal obligation he must satisfy before he can become one ; but do not leave it to a quorum of justices, prompted by a secret cabinet of brewers, to. re fuse licences on personal or incideHtal grounds, which affirm nothing adverse to the reputation of the applicant, or to the reasonableness of his petition, but sullenly rest upon the sic nolo of a brewer's partisan, waiting to receive his cue on behalf of some favoured dependent. The Jus tice may have even a more hateful motive for the abuse of a prerogative from which there lies no appeal. He may have feelings of pi irate animosity towards a respectable applicant, or of secret predilection for the most worthless. He may have premises of his own, whereof a license might increase the value twenty fold ; for though brewers in person cannot grant licences, there is nothing that we know of to prevent an indivi dual front canvassing his brother justices to join with him in setting up any tenant of his own to vend the beer of a friendly brewer, and thus to serve the interests ofd pair ofjobl i s ir er oo s af a tt t : vioc:e,,cilicce,y;',fhla on been l time for a justice of peace to interfere would he after s c o o t i t n ic m breach and acof recordedpeace o the or his statement of the fact to the sessions, the ma gistrates there assembled might resolve to con tinue or withdraw the licence of the publican whose premises had been the theatre of transgres sion ; but in no case ought any lower autho r ity than that of the sessions, ana after the verdict of a jury, be suffeied to deprive a man li v i ng lye merchandise of hia bread.

is the case, is proved by the official accounts, printed by order of the House of Commons (20th March, 1825). It appears, for example, that during the 17 years ending with 1827, while the population had increased nearly 3,000,000, the ale licences in England and Wales had hardly been augmented, —their number is 1810 being 49,061, and in 1827 only 49,327. The case, however, was very diffe rent with the spirit licenses,—their number having increased from 37,011 in 1810, to 42,599 in 1827 ; so that, under this most moral, or, as Bentham would call it, sobriety-preserving system,' there is an increase of 266 ale licenses, and 5,588 spirit licences ! With such official facts staring us in the face, one must be sceptical indeed not to admit that the duties, difficulties, and obstructions laid on the manufacture and sale of beer, have taken effect. In deed, it may be hilly presumed, supposing the pre sent system to be maintained for a few years longer, that beer-drinking will be as little in fashion in Eng land as in Italy. We shall then, no doubt, be, as we are at this moment, the most moral and religious. people in the world ; and we shall also add to our other numerous excellences, that of being the greatest gin-drinkers." • • * * " If, after all that has been already said, any thing further were required to evince the destructive na ture of the present system, it might be found in the fact, that almost the whole of the late extraordinary increase in the spirit licenses has taken place in the metropolis, and in those districts where the brewers' monopoly is most complete. In the home-brewing districts there has been little or no increase. It should also be borne in mind, that owing to the mode adopted in London, and other great towns, of retailing spirits in glasses, generally of no defined measure, to a person standing at a counter or bar, hundreds if individuals may be served, and frequently are so seated, is a very small space of time. But to drink of his beer comfortably, a man must have some time, and perhaps also a pipe, and a newspaper. It is plainly, therefore, for the interest of the publican to encoufage the sale of spirits in preference to beer. And, with characteristic sagacity, legislators, justices, and parsons of the land, join together, by laying oppressive duties, prohibitions, and restrictions, on the manufacture and sale of beer, to augment the gieward bias. If blue ruin do not rapidly spread its ravages amongst us, it is not for want of legislative, and worshipful, and reverend encouragement. " We will now bring into a short compass the various duties affecting malt liquor, before it can be drunk by the lower or middle classes ; " Mali duty (nett amount) £3,340,000 . . _ " Beer duty (ditto) 3,200,000 64 Maitstmie licences " Biewers lieences 164,000 441,000 " lip duty (nett amount of 1828) " Increased rent 0f50,000 public-houses At the rate of 20!. per annum each 1,000,000 £3,165,000 " We have clready seen, that from a fourth to a firth of all the malt manufactured in England is used in the houses of the rich and the great; and we have also seen that the beer brewed by them is wholly exempted from the beer duty. Deducting►, therefore, one-fourth, or 835,0001., from the malt duty, and one-fourth, or 110,0001., from the hop duty, on account of the malt and hops used by the privileged classes, it is plain that the whole of the remaining duties and charges, amounting to the enormous sum of 7,220,0001., must fall entirely on the natural and healthy beverage of the lower and middle eiasses. - 5‘ It appears from the Parliamentary paper, No. 51, September, 1827, that of the total quantity of malt made in England find Wales, in 1824, 1825, and 182 C, 21,647,000 bushels were, at an average, made use of by public brewers and victuallers; and it is now seen that the aggregate nett duties and charges, exclusive of the hop duty, impo•ed on this malt, amount to 6,889,0001., and, adding to this 600,0004 as the expense of collection, we have a total suer of 7,489,0001., being at the rate of very near 7s. a bushel. But the average price of barley does not exceed 4s, a bushel; so that it follows that the material of one of our great na tional manufactures,---that the first luxury, if it b 3 not rather a necessary of the poor, is subjected to taxes amounting to the unprecedented sum of 1751. per cent. ad valorem! This, we are inclined to think, is the greatest stretch of fiscal rapacity of which inc.- tlern Europe has to boast. The rich man buys his Port, Burgundy, and Champagne, his tea and coffee, on paying duties which, though abundantly high, do not in any case exceed 100 per cent., or 20s. in the pound. Not so the pooe man. Justice is meeted out to him with different measure, He cannot touch a glass of beer without being liable to a duty of 175 per cent., or of 355. in the pound. " That the landlords have great influence in Par liament is evinced by the divisions on the Corn Laws. Why, then, do they not exercise it to relieve the only treat manufacture belonging wholly to the l an d, from the duties and prohibitions by which it is thus weighed down ? They have it in their power to double ti 3,2 demand for barley, without in any respect injuring the revenue. If they continue quietly to toiorate the preset system, it will show that they are as indifferent to te4 owninterests as to those of the public. " It is contended by some that the malt duty ought to be entirely repealed, because it is not pos, sible to assess it fairly; that by lessening the con. oumption of barley, it occasions a loss to the pro prietors of light land snit.able for barley and turnips, frost which the proprietors of land suitable for wheat And oats are totally exempted. we are not dis posed to attach much weight to this staLerriant• It is not of the imposition of duties on mait, b;,:t pf their abuse, that we complain. If taxes be not laid on income, they must be laid on commodities; and to make them productive, they must be laid on those in general demand. But we era sure we have aiready stated enough, and far more throe enough, to show that the present mode of charging the duty on malt is about the very worst that rapacious igno, ranee could devise. The officers ought, on no ac count, to be allowed to interfere either directly or indirectly with the manufacturer; but the duty should be ascertained either by measuring the grain before it is put into the cistern , or attar. t is in the cistern, Of after it is taken out of it. The existing regulation; did not repress, but augment, smuggling and fraud. Their on'y ef fect, as we have already stated, is to deteriorate the quality and raise the price of malt, to put the malt ster in the pwer of the officer, and consequently t& drive out, and 1,- , Tp out of the trade, many respect able persons, who would otherwise continue to en gage in it. " With respect to the 13er duty, it ought to be entirely and unconditionally Mr. Sadler has been delivering himself of a furious tirade, at Whitby, against the Fitt Trade System. His speech, as it appears in the York Herald, oc,eupies a whole page : " And first (he says), if we turn our eyes to the agrict:lturists—who, if calculated as Adam Smith intimate, in reference to the employments solely dependent upon them, which in our census are placed in the other class, will amount, as I have proved elsewhere,. to two-thirds of the industrious part of the comanni;ty—l say, turning to the agri cultural operatives, wi;:kt is their condition ? The farmers of the kingdom tze on the verge of ruin ; many of them are already inextricably engulphed ; poverty and distress pursue,and have already reached them. The labourers, in entire counties together, are in the deepest distress, and are aisnost univer sally pauperised; and their distressed condition has had its full share in reducing the manufacturing ope ratives to a like or even a worse condition. With' tens of millions of acres of land wholly uncultivated, millions of which are amon gs t th e r i c h est co il s i n th e world; with millions more, especially in Ireland ' not half laboured; and with an incredibl e an d increasing number of hands out of employment, and whom we must sustain, though we wholly lose their labours , things have been at length so happily managed that we habitually employ the labourers of distant coun tags (applause) while ours are idle; call theirfields into cultivation while we neglect our own; furnish with capital foreign rivals in other branches of in dustry which they will assuredly employ against us, while we voluntarily diminish the national re sources ; and still our population is inadequately, and, relatively speaking, dearly fed." Mr. Sadler is an orator, and exaggeration is of the very essence of oratory. "We habitually employ the labourers of distant countries while ours are idle." How do we contrive to requite the labourers of distant countries, if our own labourers are idle ? We had imagined that labour was the foundation of all wealth, and no country would give you the produce of its labour for nothing. By this new theory of Mr. Sadler's, however, it seems the other nations of Europe are so obliging as to toil for the mere pleasure of allowing its to remain idle. In all times there has been some cuckoo-cry for the people of this country. At present the cry is for trade, though, God knows, there is not much freedom to boast of.—Morning Chronicle. The last intelligence from Constantinople amply confirms the accortnt in the Chronicle of , Saturday. A paragraph which we have copied from a cotemporary of last night, details the exertions of the Representatives of the different Governments, and the success with which they have been already attended. The Turks are now in that condition in which alone Turks can be brought to reasonable terms; for they have no idea of forbearance from any other cause than fear ; and they would have interpreted modera tion, on the part of their enemy, to the impos sibility of conquering them. They will now be sufficiently humble and compliant ; and the Mediating Powers will, we trust, experience no difficulty from either of the Belligerents. The Emperor of Russia, when he put his armies in motion, issued a Manifesto, stating the object of the war, and the terms on which he would make peace. He distinctly disclaimed all views of territorial aggrandizement, though lie cer tainly, at the same time, used language with re gard to indemnification for the expellees of the war, and guarantees for the future good conduct of the Turks, which letive room for latitude of construction. It will immediately occur to most people, that it is much easier to ask an indemnification for the expence of the war from Turkey, than to obtain one ; and it may be thought also, that there can be no guarantee for the safe passage of Russian vessels through the Dardanelles, short of occu pation of the country. That Turkey is with- 1 out the means of raising the money at once may be easily conceived; and that the Russians will not quit their conquests till they are indemnified may also be taken for granted. But if there is a good understanding among the different Powers, which we believe there is, it is not impomible that what took place when France was occupied may be repeated ; that the Powers may gua rantee a loan to Turkey for the indemnification, and to secure the re-payment of the money as well as strengthen the executive, furnish such a contingent of troops for the occupation of Thrace, as may be necessary. The French Papers are anxious, for the sake of popular effect, to attri bute their new Ministry to England, and it suits them also to represent the present posture of af fairs in the East as humiliating to us in an espe cial degree. This may be all very clever in the way of party politics. A little time, however, will, we doubt not, show that the Government of England has acted throughout on much surer grounds than they give it credit for. In fact, we do not believe that there is any disposition at present in the European Governments to extend their dominions. Russia was certainly very much hampered on the side of Turkey, and may not have been sorry that the obstinacy of that Power furnished her with a good pretext for the steps she. has taken. But having laid her old enemy prostrate, and tamed the Turks suffici ently for all time to come, she will be satisfied. She will at all events find it expedient to appear satisfied ; for we do not believe she will, in the teeth of her own declaration, with all the great Powers looking on, venture on an attempt at territorial aggrandisement. There is, however, one difficulty—the disposing of the Asiatic con- quests. The conquests in that quarter, afford ing, as they would, an easy communication from the Black Sea with the Mons-Caucasian pro vinces, would add greatly to the value of the latter, which, at present, are a heavy burden to Rassia. Besides, the Armenians, who have shown so marked a preference for Russia, have a claim on her, not to be abandoned to their old oppressors. We foresee the difficulty will be in this quarter. It is of immense consequence to the great Powers to set their faces against all at tempts at conquest, as opening a door to wars and revolutions. One encroachment justifies another ; and the best policy is to resist the first attempt. Even the dismemberment of Turkey, on the side of Asia, is an ugly precedent. Hence, we have no doubt that England, Austria, and Prussia, and even France, will look with great jealousy on any such dismemberment. A little time will now serve to threw light on the views of the parties.—Bid. There never was a greater deception in a nauie than in that of " free trade," as applied to the circumstances of this couutry. If the manufacturers of Great Britain were in a situa- tion to enter into free competition with the ma nufitcturers of the rest of the world, then, Pro• yi,de.4 the tariff.; of other nations were as Mimi] as our Lyn,- " free trade" would be, in fact, what it is in name, 4;0 reciprocal benefits would flow from it. How stand;, 019 case at present ? Trade is free in our markets to thoge foreign manufacturers who can produce their goods at an expand considerably below the cost of pro duction in Eng4nd ; but it is not free in reality to our own manufacturers, because the taxes raised to pay the interest of spp millions of debt enhance the cost of production so roue!' as to operate upon native goods, in a great mea sure, as the prohibitory system used to do upon foreign manufactures—that is, keep them out of the market. The manufacturers are under the ne.c;e444ty of endeavouring to overcome the diffi culties 14.1 this state of things places them by substituting La.4,inery as much as possible for human labour. If tsney ,etriuloy men instead of machinery, they cannot aff'Srli ,to give them wages that can procure any thing like a con - i-, fortable subsistence. Hence the wretched condition of those artizans ire general who are in actiial. employment, while thou• sands are put ot i tt 0 work altogether.— The political economists v i e pprpetually talking of the evils of over-populatiPo, .41?(:1 ykt they approve of that state of things which makes tb,2 manufacturers substitute the powers of wood and iron Or the bones and sinews of living men, and thereby irtc,,weqses all the evils of over-popu lation. What do iitti,cimy theorists and the wcaehers of a heartless philosophy" care f or the misery and destitution which are y 4 pw)y overspreading tha. face of this once prosperous country, and converting her hardy, generous, manly population into one vast mast of Lazza roni ? Their system takes not into calculation any thing but the increase of " capital," at what ever expellee of human suffering or public mo rality it may be obtained —or, at least, appear to be so. Their maxin is quocztnque mod° rem— their paradise the place " where wealth accumu lates and men decay."—But their calculations prove in the end as false as their morality. In a nation where the industrious classes of society become impoverished and demoralized, the pro sperity of the whole system of society is sapped at its base. Never was there so much luxury and external splendour among the higher ranks in ancient Rome as when the population, whose vigour and virtues constituted the stamina of the empire, were sinking into wretchedness and de basement ; and the power that awed the world was hastening into rapid decline. There are, no doubt, many who have more feeling for the poor than political economists display in their theories of " improvement," who were induced to join in the cry for what is called " free trade" by the fascinating influence of the name ;—they were dupes to the specious promise of the term; they believed that " free trade" would be in practice what the words implied. They did not take into account the circum stances of the country, which precluded the pos sibility of our manufacturers entering into free competition with those of other countries, who paid little, if any taxes. Thus a fine and showy term imposed upon their understandings, aLd they assisted in making the prosperity of Eng land a sacrifi ce t o th e magic of a name. But those have more to answer for whose systematic object it is, and long has been, to raise a wall of separation between the rich and the poor—to make " capital," or the appearance of it, the standard of all worth, and to immolate the vir tues, the honour, and the moral prosperity of the country on the altar of Mammon. Do we say that all the existing misery of England is owing to "free trade ?" by no means; but we say that the consequences of the breaking down of the system under which English commerce rose from its cradle into the display of its giant energies, has greatly aggravated the distress arising from other causes. This is becoming more apparent every day to all but those who are wilfully blind. Even Mr. Huskisson, if we may judge by some expressions that have fallen from him in public, does not view the extensive scene of misery which comes within the horizon of his scheme without feeling the confidence in his favourite system shaken. He was seduced by the praises of the " philosophers," who dandled him into popularity in the press. We suspect that the daring hand of Mr. Sadler, backed by the force of sad experience, has some what deranged his honours and made them sit rather awkwardly upon him. He has already thrown out an intimation of the possibility of "modifying" his opinions —any qualification of such errors must eventually lead to retracting them. But whether the author of the system be flexible or obstinate, certain it is that his own experiment has disproved his theory, and the scope which he has had for carrying his visionary speculations into practice has established their confutation.—Morning Herald. One or two of our contemporaries are profuse in their commendations of Sir E. B. Sugden, on account of a recent visit paid by him to the un fortunate persons confined in the Fleet Prison for contempt of the Court of Chancery, and look upon it as the certain harbinger of some stre nuous effort on the part of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to reform all the abuses that either exist or are imagined to exist in the practice of this Court. We have no wish to detract from the merit of Sir E. Sugden, although we fear the expectations of our contemporaries are some what too sanguine. We trust the miserable ob jects of his attention have reaped more substan tial and immediate advantages from his presence among them than any which his zeal or energy in the cause of reform are likely to produce. If we had any reason to suppose that this visit was paid with a view to diffuse a notion _ of the Solicitor-General being peculiarly anxious to qualify himself for a Chancery reformer, the re collection would be forced upon us that the most ostentatious reformers have never yet, upon any occasion, been the most judicious or successful ones. Nor could we in this case escape the sus picion that the desire to purchase a little popula rity at a cheap rate was the leading motive of th e Learned Gentleman, s i nce it i s qu it e certain that the prisoners in the Fleet could give him no in formation bearing at all upon the subject of Chancery reform, of which he has not been fully in possession for at least twenty years, during the whole of which period he has we believe been a strenuous advocate of the existing system.. Nothing indeed is more easy than to talk of the evils that spring from the present practice of the Court of Chancery, and nothing more difficult, if we may judge from the degree of success which has hitherto attended every attempt, than to suggest any remedies which would not be likely to produce evils still more extensive and perni cious.—Morning Post.

FRIGHT 74Y A LIVING GHOST.-011 the n i g ht o f ow last Martinmas market, a dreadful and me lam:l:Ay noise was heard by the landlord end domestics of a house in this town, which alarmed them to spell a (le4ree, that they one and all declared it must be a ghost.

Of course the intruder was speedily silenced ; but the circumsi:aing, snid our informant very gravely, should be a warning to all go,t dplers to give notice to the inhabitants in their neighbourhood, before spell ani mals can hereafter molest them at untimeous hours.—in verness Courier.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENC FPENCII AND GERMAN PAPERS. (From the Journal des Dehats of Friday.) PARIS, SEPT. 18.—The most indifferent cannot see without sorrow the abyss, on the borders of which the Ministers have dragged France in less than six weeks. There are some fundamental questions that ought never to be agitated under a regular Government, but these terrible questions are all now agitated at once. We are again thrown on the burning ashes which it was supposed were for ever extinguished, and which power is imprudently rekindling at the risk of a vast conflagration. France, which was tranquilly reposing under the protection of the Charter, is eagerly putting its frontiers in a posture of defence against an invading Ministry. She opens her arsenals, and draws forth those formidable arms she would have willingly allowed to rust. Two months ago it was asked, shall we have next Session a municipal and departmental law ? Will the Cham ber at length occupy itself with our roads and ca nals? What measures will it take to relieve the wine-growers ? Peaceful questions, infallible signs of the return of peace and good order. Now the question every where asked is, what are the Mi nistry plotting against the Charter? Which of the articles will they preserve, which will they sup. press ? Will they endeavour to do without the Chambers, or, which is the same thing, will they, by some coup crelat, alter their composition ? Questions full of trouble and of peril ; and the Mi nister!, who cause them, and justify them, by the hostile declamation of their journals, terrified by the festivities at Lyons, seek an excuse for their violent measures, in that which constitutes their crimi nality—the actual state of the country. - - (From the Constitutionnel of FriJiy.) PARIS, SEPT. lB.—lt appears certain that the Ministry, Blamed at the unanimous expression of national opinion, has recoiled from the desperate measures which it intended. These bullies have begun to tremble. They now, like the fox in the fable, exclaim that " the grapes are sour." The counter•revolntion, forced into its last en trenchments, acknowledges with alaan, that the Elective Chamber has the right of refusing to adopt the Midget : we shall soon prove that with a danger ous Ministry, hostile to the Constitutional Throne, and the public liberties, it is not only a right but a duty. THE HAGUE, SEPT. l 7 .—His:Royal Highness the Mince of Orange will, in the course of next week, ro om the Burgher guards in the capital, and other towns of the provinc e of Liege. His Excellency the Minister of Finance is ex pected here, from Brussels, next week, with his bureaux. The heavy rains of the last week produced the hitherto unheard of event, a high September flood ; it attained its g' Gaest elevation on Sunday evening, when a considerable part of our meadows were under water ; the height was certainly not so great as in some of the winter floods, though its altitude was about 10i feet above the usual level of the Trent. Since that period, the water has been regularly subsiding, and is now almost entirely within the river banks.—Nottinuham Review. SPANISH REPUGEE'I. On Saturday the Lord Mayor and a from the Committee for dispensing the bs.riziii contributions of the public for the relief of the Spanish and Italian Refugees, waited upon the Earl of Aberdeen, in consequence of the recent arrival of several Spanish emigrants in this country. It appears that between forty and fifty of those unfor tunate men have lately come to London, having been compelled to leave Spain, arid making their election of England as a refuge, instead of France or America, to either of which countries the Spanish Government would not have objected to send them. A Committee had been held on Thursday at Guild hall, for the purpose of taking the applications of the new corners into consideration. They reached Lon don pennyless, arid gave the disagreeable intelli gence that upwards of 300 more might be expected. The Committee did not feel any hesitation in de termining not to apply any of the funds raised for the specific object of relieving the old and numerous claimants to any incidental emergency, arid of course those who applied were informed that they had no thing to expect. The unfortunate men were, how ever, supplied with what satisfied their immediate wants by some of the members. We understand, that the Chief Magistrate, with that prompt hu manity for which lie has been distinguished since the commencement of his public life, represented to the Earl of Aberdeen the deplorable condition of these poor strangers, and urged the necessity of contriving some expedient by which they might be saved from starvation, and at the same time disposed of in such a manner as to throw no additional expense upon the Government. To this we understand the Earl of Aberdeen replied, that his Majesty's Government bad taken the question into their most serious con sideration, and that it was deemed inexpedient to augment the public burdens by making alditional allowances to the emigrants. As the laws of this country stood, there was no alternative, if they re mained here, but parochial relief; but he believed that an arrangement would soon take place, by which the country would be relieved from the pres sure of this heavy tax. Government were now paying to the emigrants about 18,0001. a year—a sum which bad no reference to the charitable con tributions which had been received ; but there was every reason to believe that King Ferdinand would, in compliance with the request and remonstrance of Government, grant an amnesty in favour of all the emigrants in this country, with the exception of about thirty, who were considered inveterately hos tile to the state of things in Spain.—Sunday Paper :•ion ROBBERY AT THE WAGGON AND HORSES, MANCHESTER. In our last we mentioned an extensive rob bery which had been effected at the house of Mr. Lowe, the sign of the Waggon and Horses, in the Pork Shambles, and that a person named Farrady had been taken up on sus picion of being one of the robbers. We are happy to say that these suspicions have, upon investigation, proved entirely unfounded, and that the right parties have been apprehended and committed to the Sessions. In consequence of information received by the police, on Satur day last, Jefferson, the officer, and Mrs. Lowe, went off to Liverpool, where the thieves it - was supposed had taken refuge. On arriving in that town they found that the police had already one man in custody of the name of Jonas Lan cashire, and whom Mrs. Lowe immediately identified as one of the party who had been at her house on the night of the robbery. Lancashire was given in charge by the land lord of the house where he put up, who sus pected from the quantity of cash of which he was in possession, that he had been concerned in some robbery in the neighbourhood. Three other men, well known to the police of Man chester, were likewise apprehended in Liverpool, two of whom Mrs. Lowe recognized as being of the party up stairs the night the robbery was committed. Their names were William Roden, a letter-press printer ; William Plant, and Wil liam Eastwood. Plant was taken coming to inquire after Lancashire at the Bridewell, and Roden, in the Court, during his examination before the Magistrates. Eastwood was appre hended in the town, but in consequence of Jef ferson being doubtful as to his being one of the thieves, was di3charged ; Mrs. Lowe, however, still insisting that he was in company with the rest on the Thursday evening, he was again taken, and the whole of the suspected thieves brought to Manchester, for examination at the New Bailey. On Thursday last they were brought up before Mr. Foster, when the fbllow ing chain of evidence was disclosed. On the Saturday before the robbery, Lancashire and Davenport called at the Waggon and Horses, and were accommodated with a room up stairs. From the situation of the room in which they sat, they had a good view of Mr. Lowe's bed room, where he generally kept his cash. On the Thursday following Roden and Lancashire went into the house together, about five o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Lowe furnished them with ale in the news-room, on which occa sion she noticed, particularly, a beautiful brooch in Lancashire's breast, and a brilliant ring on his finger. The prisoners then said they expected a third person to meet them, and de sired to be accommodated with a room up stairs. They, however, went away shortly afterwards ; and about eight o'clock Lancashire returned, ac companied by Eastwood. Roden followed a few minutes afterwards. On this occasion they were shewn to the parlour up stairs, which com mands a view of Mr. Lowe's bed-room. The chamber-maid usually sat in the lobby into which these doors opened, and the difficulty with the thieves must have been to accomplish their ob ject without exciting her suspicions. The mo ment taken, however, for effecting the robbery, was when she was called down stairs to make out the bill of an inmate who was leaving. During the time she was in the bar for this pur pose, which was not more than ten minutes, Roden was observed, by Mrs. Lowe, to come down stairs and walk to the front door, and then return, stamping heavily as he re-ascended into the room. This was, doubtless, done to drown any noise which his companions might acci dentally make in effecting the robbery. In the course of a few minutes afterwards, the three came down together, and left the house. O n the same evening, Lancashire went to a coach stand, and hired a coach to take him to War rington, on his way to Liverpool, where h e was followed, on the following day, by the remainder of his companions. The cash stolen amounts in gold and silver to upwards of 3001., and was lodged in an old-fashioned chest of drawers and writing-desk. This had been forced open by a jemmy, as there were evident marks of violence both on the exterior and in the lock. The only evidence against Plant was his being a known associate of Roden and Lancashire, and his being found at Liverpool with them ; and Da venport was only seen with Lancashire on his first visit. On Eastwood was found upwards of thirty sovereigns. At the examination on Thursday, Mrs. Lowe swore positively to the persons of Roden, Lancashire, and Eastwood, On Lancashire were found the ring and brooch answering to the description given by Mrs. Lowe.L illoden declared he had not been in the Waggon and Horses for six months, and Batt wood stated that he was at Ormskirk fair on the day of the r o bb er y, an d rema i ne d t h ere all n ight. After a long investigation, Plant and Dave l c port were discharged, and Roden, E as twood , and Lancashire, committed to take their trials t the ensuing sessions. During the whole of th e examination, the prisoners behaved in the 11 1 ° 3t impudent and unbecoming manner.—Manchesie r Advertiser. 1 (From the Limerick Chronicle, Sept. 16.) GENERAL COURT MARTIAL. The President and Members re-assembled according to adjournment yesterday morning, at the new Barracks, when Lieutenant-Colonel Bayly read his defence, and called th e following witnes.es to give evidence in support of hi s statement :—Captain Hawley, late of the 98th Reginuto t, Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney, and Lieut. Free' bairn, of the 98th Regiment. The Adjutant-General, Colonel Gardiner, had Assistant' Surgeon Cavet, 97th Regiment, recalled to contradict tit s testimony of this Officer on a point of time connected wit h the charge imputing severe corporal punishment. After the examination of Corporal Reynolds and Sur e° Tidley, of the 98th Regiment. the President declared tl case for the prosecution and defence to have closed, an d intimated that the Court would meet again on Thurstisi morning at eight o'clock, to hear the rejoinder to e videnc e of the Adjutant-General. As we conclude the Presiden t and Members will, on that day, arrive at a final decision on the charges preferred, we mean in our next to furnish O r readers, a summary of the evidence adduced on both side , accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Bayly's statement' We have thus far refrained from adverting to the testirnnal in deference to the wishes of the President and Court. i s short time before the proceedings closed yesterday, the Countess of Clare, Lady Isabella Fitzgibbon, Lady Leveson Gower, and Miss Greville, were introduced and accommo" dated with seats in the mess-room, before the table wher6 the Members eat.

Captain Boldero's company of the 10th Regiment ll° moved from Kinsale to Bandon. On Thursday last the King's Dragoon Guards, coo' mended by Colonel Teesdale, were reviewed in th e ! a rgil field attached to the Ordnance Barracks at Longford, LI Sir John Byng, Commander of the Forces, accompanio by Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, General of the District. The day being uncommonly fine there were few per s ons all° did not avail themselves of the privilege of being prelel' to :witness the inspection. In speaking of the King s ° Dragoon Guards (whose character for discipline , &c. been long since established) it is scarcely necessary to add , that they performed the different evolutions with a degre° of correctness and steadiness which called forth the atltor ration of all present. The 83d Regiment has received orders, on its arrival 0 Leith, to march to Glasgow. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The highest price of Bread in the Metropolis is 105 yd. rot tll 41b. Loaf.

DOANE.—In this case, the major portion of which we gave yesterday, but which was not concluded when our Paper went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages 1001. Lord SUNDERLAND, in the reign of Queen Asxa, when offered a pension, on being turned out of place, said, " That if he was no longer permitted to serve his country, he was resolved net to pillage it," PARIS, MAY 25.—A work, called " The Memoirs of a Philosophical Buccaneer," has lately made its appearance in the capital s and its chief feature of novelty arises from the singular idea which prompted the author to lay before the public so strange a production. According to his observation (which in this particular seems but too true), the present age exhibits a singular spectacle in the taste which governs the stage and the literary world ; on the former, nothing will take but the most horrific and disgusting subjects, and the latter has acquired such a turn that several works, filled with details of crimi nality, have met with a most favourable recep tion even in fashionable circles. The question: is, how can the public taste be brought back 16 a proper standard, after suffering from the effect of_ such works ; and, would it be possible to please . readers of the "Memoirs of Vidocq" with the. productions of sensible writers and classical com positions ? No ; such a plan would not be sue ccssiizl and, in order to remove the present dullness of vision, it will he requisite to satiate the literary appetite, that it may see the horrific in its most appalling form, and shun the repetition of such repasts. The " Me moirs of a Philosophical Buccaneer" may, in this respect, be considered an antidote against the depraved taste of the day, and they may be called the ne plus ultra of the horrific, as nothing more frightful has ever made its appearance; this work is filled with details of the most re volting nature, drawn from the lowest scenes in barracks, prisons, galleys ; together with a suc cession of horrid murders, assassinations, trea• sons, and crimes of every die : amongst all these descriptions there will be found a number of philosophical reflections, which the author thought himself bound to make as a kind of amende honorable for the crimes of which he had been guilty. The publisher confidently hopes that this work will be the last sacrifice at the shrine of public taste, and that it will have the effect of forcing back the literary stream into its proper channel, and that criminal literature will shrink at the contemptuous look of an en lightened public. A few extracts will suffice to show the design of the above work, and the strong and painful excitement which its descrip tions must produce. In giving an account of a prison infirmary, the author speaks thus—" I beheld around me some wretched companions who were anxiously awaiting the hour for distri bution of their food, and who, the instant their scanty pittance was dealt out, devoured it with avidity' and longed after the next distribution.— Sometimes the Doctor through caprice would put the patients on water-gruel diet, and (do I live to state it ? but it is true,) I have seen an unfortunate creature eat a cataplasm ; nay, I have witnessed still worse—l have seen human beings Axpire from hunger." • This state of suffering has been so great, that the unfortunate creatures became so familiar with death that they would often smile in calculating the period they had to survive ; and the fidlow ing will be found a most singular instance of this state of feeling. _ _ " An old m s- an-named Ladure was informing an old companion who slept in the same bed, o f a plan which he intended to adopt on being re leased from prison; when the other, in a loud voice, exclaimed, You old rascal ! how can you say so ; you know that you can't live many hours.' What is that you say ?' replied La dure. You are mistaken if you think lam going to die ; and I hope you'll go before me.' What will you bet but you'll die first ?' said the other. You have nothing to bet with,' re plied Ladure,—' you hav'nt got a farthing.' No matter,' said the old man, I'll bet my next allowance of wine.' Ah !' observed his old companion, then you wish I should inherit your last portion." Bet, bet, old Guillot,' cried out a dying man. With all my heart,' answered Guillot, for I'm sure I shall drink the old fellow's wine.' " Two days after this wager, the two old men were nearly reduced to the last stage of life. Shortly after the morning distribution of food, wine, &c., Ladure attempted to leave his bed, but his eyes seemed fixed, and he became so weak that one of his companions was obliged t o take him back. Guillot then sa id to him, ' Now, you old rascal, you are going to die. I am glad you have not drank your wine yet.' At this moment Ladure was in the agonies of death ; making a last effort, he lifted himself up, but soon fell back on his bed, exclaiming, ! Guillot, Guillot, I have lost, drink my wine ;' and with these words he expired. I was right in saying I would have your wine ;' observed his old companion ; when the master of the in firmary entered the room, and took possession of the wine, which was the only propertyleft by the deceased. you thief!' exclaimed Guillot, you shan't take his wine, I have won it, and there are witnesses to prove it. If you take the wine, I'll plunge this knife into your heart.' The master of the infirmary fearing this threat put down the wine, which Guillot instantly swal lowed, but his strength was nearly exhausted, and. he died the same evening, expressing his sa tisfaction that Ladure had gone before him. " A few days after this scene, the attendants in the infirmary, perceiving (upon doubtful symptoms) that one of the sick was apparently dead, wrapped him up in a blanket, and carried him (according to custom) to the charnel house. After the lapse of an hour, a knocking was heard at the door of the infirmary, and on opening it the inmates beheld what appeared to be a huge dead body, covered with torn bed clothes, stalk into the room, and proceed di rectly to his bed. The apparition, addressing himself to the attendants, exclaimed, You assassins, give me back my wine, which you have stolen ;' and they, in order to silence him, gave him his allowance, but before the doctor came the next day he was a corpse in reality." It may be easily imagined, that the author of the present work is well acquainted with Vi doeq, for he makes frequent mention of him, and of Ins extreme cleverness in the way of his pro fession. With respect to Vidocq, it may not be un important to notice that the publication of a further volume of his memoirs has been stop ped by rather a strange circumstance—namely, the imprisonment of the publisher for debt The Royal As , ent was given by commission to the Excise Acts' AmendmeMt Bill, the Murderous Attempts' (Scotland) Bill, the Offences against the Person (Ireland) Bill, the Arrest in Mesne Process (Ireland) Bill, and the Insolvent Debtors' (Ireland) Bill. The Lords Commissioners were the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Earl of SHAFTESEURT, and the Marquis of WINCHESTER. Sir A. GRANT and others from the Commons brought up several Bills. THORNDYKE'S DIVORCE BILL. Lord BERESFORD moved that this Bill be committed now. The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved as an amendment that certain of the witnesses be ordered to attend in order to be re-examined. After a few words from Lord TEYNHAM, the -Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the amendment was agreed to. LordIrEYNHAM presented a petition from . Lieutenant-General Thornton, praying that means might be taken for procuring a better observance of the Sabbath.—Ordered to lie on the table. The Clerk of the Pleas (Ireland) Bill, the Friendly Societies Bill, and the Butter Trade (Ire land) Bill, went through Cov►mittees, and Report ordered to be received to-morrow.—Adjourned. The following petition was presented in the House of Lords on Wednesday evening:— TO THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF LIEUT.-GENERAL WILLIAM THORNTON, OF GROSVENOR-GATE, PARK-LANE, IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, SIiEWETIi, That your Petitioner humbly prays your Lordships to take into consideration the danger arising to the Established Church, from the forbearance of enforcing the performance of both Mornir , and Evening Service on Sundays, in every Parish Church and Parochial Chapel, and the Chapel of every extra-parochial place, throughout England and Ire land, whereby it is rendered impossible for many persons to obey the laws, or the dictates of their own conscience, by resorting to their Parish Church or Chapel accustomed upon every Sunday, without leaving their habitations un ocupied, and thereby exposing their property to loss by robbers ; the alternative obligieg those persons who are by such omission deprived of the opportunity of attending the Established Service, and who think it a duty incum bent on th e m t o go t o some pl ace o f public worship, to resort to Dissenting Meeting Houses, to Roman CAtholic Chapels, or to Congregations denying the Doctrine of the Blessed Trinity; the only course, as it appears to your Petitioner, by which they can legally exonerate themselves from the penalties to which they are liable for not resorting to their Parish Church or Chapel. Your Petitioner had the honour of a seat in Parliament when the Act of tl e 57th year of King George the Third, commonly called " The Clergy Residence Act," was pass ing ; and as it appeared to your Petitioner that the forbear. ance of the Bishops to enforce the power given to them by the said Act would be no excuse to the Clergy for such a neglect of duty as the non-performance of either Morning or Evening Serviceon Sundays, your Petitioner strenuously urged, but without success, that the Clergy should be liable to some pecuniary penalty or forfeiture for any such emission, which should go and he paid to the person or persons who should inform and sue for the same. It was asserted, that it might be safely intrusted to the BishOps to enforce the. two services, but nearly twelve years of trial, since the Act was passed, have but too truly proved the correctness of your Petitioner's sentiments. Your Petitioner, being firmly attached to the Esta blished Church, thinks it a subject of joy and congratula tion to all true Christians, that it is no longer subject to the charge of bigotry and oppression ; but your Petitioner is anxious to uphold the power all persons ought to enjoy, of attending its public service ou Sundays, or of bringing such Ministers to punishment as, by neglect of duty, de prive them of such opportunity. In conclusion, your Petitioner humbly prays your Lord ships to adopt such measures as shall, in future, make imper ative the performance of both Morning and Evening Service on Sundays, in every Parish Church and Parochial Chapel, and the Chapel of any extra-parochial place throughout England and Ireland, for the benefit and security of the Members of the Established Church. WILLIAM THORNTON. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(LAST NIGHT.) Shortly before Four the SPEAKER was summoned to tile House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to certain Bills. On his re turn to the House, Colonel SIBTHORPE presented a petition from Mr. G. C. Ramon, claiming to be the inventor of Congreve rockets. Lord MILTON presented a petition from Brad ford,praying fur the opening o f t h e tra d e w i t h Ind i a. Mr. COURTENAY presented a petition from Totness, praying for the repeal of the Duty on Coals carried coastwise. Sir J. MACKINTOSH presented a petition from certain Dissenters of Salford, praying that Hindoo widows might not be allowed to burn them selves; and also another petition of a like nature from certain inhabitants of Falmouth. Mr. PENDARVIS presented a petition from the town of Redruth in Cornwall, praying for the repeal of the Duty on Coals carried coastwise. POSTING. • Col. SIBTHORPE gave notice, that he would next session move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate posting throughout the kingdom. The Cotton Factories Bill, and the Divisions of Counties Bill, were each read a third time and passed. Mr. P. THOMPSON being called on by the , sa id Speaker, he had a petition to present, but as none of the Ministers were present, he would post pone its presentation till they arrived. A short pause now took place, when some Mem bers called out for an adjournment.

At this petiod the business of the House was completely at a stand, in consequence of the absence of all the Ministers, Mr. I'. Courtenay being the only representative of them present. There was a partial c►y of " Adjourn," " Adjourn," and ,Sir J. - MACKINTOSFI said, that rather than allow the House to adjourn, he would submit a motion, authorised by the frequent practice of the House : he meant a declaratory Resolut►on—" That this House does not place confidence in his Majesty's Ministers."—(Hear, and laughter.)—Considering the state of the opposite Benches, perhaps this pro ceeding would be hardly fair; but ►f they thus ne glected their public duty, bow was it possible that the House should place confidence in Ministers.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. P. COURTENAY was certain that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not press the motion, in the absence of the parties accused.—(Hear.) The East India Offices' Bill was recommitted, reported, and ordered to be read a third time to morrow. The Silk-Manufacturers' Bill was read a second time, committed, reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a petition from the inhabitants of the district of Belgrave-square, praying to be included in the two-penny-post de livery. Lord MILTON supported the prayer of the pe tition. Sir G. MURRAY expressed a disposition to Sir J. MACKINTOSH also supported the prayer of the petition.—lt was ordered to be printed. Mr. A. BARING presented a petition from a' gentleman named (as we could collect) Strongmar, one of the old Dutch settlers at the Cape of Good Hope, complaining of being quite ruined by the alterations which had taken place in the currency of that colony. One of the governors of that colony had caused an immense issue of paper-currency, which became so depreciated, that four shillings in it did not pass for more than one shilling and six pence, metallic currency. Sir J. MACKINTOSH supported the petition. Sir G. MURRAY said, that if the petitioner could spew a peculiar case of hardship, Government would be disposed to attend to it ; but when his distress arose only from the operation of a general measure, which applied not merely to that but to other Colonies, he did not see how this case could be remedied without opening the door to others similarly circumstanced, whom it would be impos sible to assist. If the petitioner could make out any claim for services, or in any other - way, it would be fully considered. After a few words from Mr. H. GURNEY, which were not heard in the gallery, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. RIGHTS OF AUTHORS. Sir J. MACKINTOSH presented a petition from Charles Bucke, of Islington, complaining of the imperfect state of the law for the protection of lite rary property. The Right Hon. and Learned Gent. observed, that the rights of authors in their literary productions were less respected by the law and the tribunals of this country, than in any other having pretensions to literary character. Persons of the highest literary fame had had their dramatic produc tions represented on the stage, wholly against their consent. Lord Byron and Mr. Millman had had to complain of abuses of this kind, but they were with out redress. The petitioner had to complain of a similar abuse. He had written a tragedy, which the proprietors of owe of the large theatres had brought out on the stage against his consent. He now prayed for some alterations of the law as respected the rights of authors in their productions. Mr. G. LAMB supported the petition. It was extremely hard upon authors, that when they pro. duced a work of a dramatic character, intending it only for the press and not for the stage, they should, by the cupidity of managers in bringing it out for representation, be put nolena miens into the very disagreeab!e situation of damned authors.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from a gentle man named Tighe, at present a prisoner confined for debt in the King's Bench prison, complaining of abuses of his power on the part of the Marshal of that prison, and praying the House to inquire into the subject. The Hon. Member said that the case was worthy of the consideration of the House.—lt was ordered to lie on the table. COMMUTATION OF TITHES. Mr. P. THOMSON presented a petition from owners and occupiers of land in the vicinity of Ro chester, playing for some alteration in the present system of tithes. Mr. BENETT supported the petition, which was ordered to be printed. . DISTRESS IN THE RIANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. Mr. BROUGHAM held a petition, which he was instructed to present from a most respectable body of persons. In the prayer of the petition, or the allegations on which it was founded, he did not generally concur, and he had so stated to them ; but still they wished that, he should present their case to the House. The petition was from a very respect able body of manufacturers in Birmingham, and was signed by 8,000 individuals, who, with the exception of five, had signed it without any solicitation. The substance of the petition was, in the first place, the declaration of a very notorious fact, namely, the prevalence of very great distress throughout the ma nufacturing districts, and more especially in Birming ham. This distress they ascribe to the Bill, which, as they state, tampered with the currency ; and they gave a measure of the depreciation which he con• fessed he did not clearly comprehend, for they said it amounted to 50 per cent., but in their illustration they made it 100 per cent., by asserting that the effect was to double the debt of 800 millions, as well as the 55 millions of taxes which the public had to pay. According to his judgment, the depre ciation did not at any time exceed 30 per cent., and that was when the price of gold was Si. 7s. 10d. per ounce. After affirming their distress, they went on to suggest a remedy, which was, that the Govern ment should establish such a just and equitable cur rency as would raise the price of labour, and at the same time give vigour to the manufacturing interests. Now, with respect to the depreciation, he admitted that it had its effect upon the condition of the peti tioners, but he denied that it involved the whole of the 800,000,000/. of debt, for a great part of that was as suredly incurred before the depreciation of the currency —an event (the depreciation) which was not ad mitted until Lord King's pamphlet, in 1800. The petitioners complained, and there he certainly agreed with them, that there was a great deal of unde served obloquy cast upon the country bankers, as a proof of which they stated, that out of the seventy bankers who had failed during the panic of 1825, sixty had paid twenty shillings in the pound to their creditors. The petitioners denied the existence of over-trading, over-production, and over-population; but he did not concur in the cogency of their rea soning upon the topic of over-trading, for he re membered when some of our manufacturers exported ship-loads of saddles to countries where such ar ticles were never used, cargoesof earthenware where there could be no demand for it, and even coals to countries where there was more timber than the in habitants could consume. The experience of the speculations .to Buenos Ayres in 1806 and 1807, and of 1805, was, he thought a clear proof that there was such a thing as over-trading. As to over population, he feared that the instance of Ireland was alone sufficient to establish the fact. The petitioners also stated that there ought to be no restraint im posed upon agricultural imports, and they particu larly complained that when the change in the cur rency was arranged, it was not accompanied by a ' corresponding reduction of taxation, and there he entirely agreed with the petitioners; for nothing could have been more inopportune than the laying on 3,000,000/. or 4,000,0001. of taxes in 1819; and he also agreed with them that all those salaries, civil or military, which had in former years been raised on account of the depreciation of money, ought now to be reduced when a metallic circulation pre vailed. He wished he could us easily see the relief which the petitioners looked for, as emanating from these teductions, for after they were all made, he feared the weight of 800 millions of debt, and its 30 or 40 millions of interest, would still be a heavy load on the national industry. In wishing to do full justice to the views of the petitioners, he must at the same time express his opinion that the country could not now retrace its steps and fall back upon a .depreciated currency.—(Hear, hear.)—He then moved that this petition be brought up. Mr. LAWLEY said, the petitioners had done him the honour of soliciting his support of the prayer of this petition, but he informed them he could not give it, becau - se he believed that the Mr. BINETT was decidedly of opinion that the alteration which had been made in the currency was one of the greatest errors ever committed in any country. Double the quantity of produce now oni7 ' brought in as much money as was some years age, realized by the sale of half the quantity. He now paid three sovereigns, instead of three 11. notes, to meet the interest on the 3 per cent. consols. it was the opinion of Mr. Ricardo and other eminent men, that some alteration must be effected with re spect to the debt. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN agreed entirely in the statement made by the petitioners, that while , the means of meeting taxation were greatl; reduced, the weight of the debt was almost doubled. He begged leave to cull the attention of the House to the fallacious statements which had been made with respect to the growing prosperity of the country. It appeared by papers which he had in his-possea mion that the real value of the exports of British ma nufactures in 1798 and 1799, exceeded the official value more than 13,000,0001., and that the official value had been advancing while the real value hail been decreasing, and to so great an extent, that ist 1828 the real value was-below the official nearly 16,000,0001. It also appeared, that had the real value kept its relative position with th e o ffi cial, it would,instead of being only 36,000,000/. in 1828, have amounted to 86,500,0001., showing an actual depreciation of nearly 50,500,0001., or 97 per cent. Taking the aggregate of the last three years the exports were, in real valise; less in amount than the official by more than 40,000,0001., although it would appear, as had been stated in the House of Commons a few weeks ago, that there was an increase by the official value of 12,000,0001. in the last two years. Independently of the differ ence between the real and official valise, it would be seen that the export trade had declined in real value for the last 30 years to a vast amount. If gentle , men compared the aggregate amount of the exports of the last six years in real value with that of the six preceding years (1816 to 1822), they would be found to have fallen off 13,500,000/. Comparing the same with the six prior years (1810 to 1816), they were less by 41,000,0004; compared with the, six years further back (1804 to 1810), they wets less by 52,000,0001.; and with those of 1798 to 1804, less by 35,000,0001. Taking the average of the whole period—the lust six years, as ' rornpared with the.2s preceding years, were less in real value by nearly 6,000,000/. per annum ; and this, it must be remarked, did not comprise te decrease in the export of colonial or foreign produce. The decrease in real value of colonial and foreign produce ex ported for the last eight years, as compared with those of 1814 to 1822, was 4,500,0001. per annum ; the annual decrease in British goods exported in the same period, by like comparison, was nearly 9,000,0001., making together an annual decrease of 13,500,0001. for the last eight years in our export trade. And yet, while things were going on in this way, they had the folly—he would say the absolute madness—to suffer the country to be inundated with French goods. Such things as these must be men tioned; the country must be told of them, and lie should not be doing his duty with such 'an impres sion on his mind, even though it were incorrect, if he did not state it openly and boldly. The Com mittee of the House of Commons on foreign trade it 1821, said,—" Your Committee are, however, sensible that at once to abandon the prohibitory sylis tern would be of all thinge the most visionary ant( dangerous. It has long subsisted—it is the law, not only of this kingdom, but of the rest of the European world, and any departure from it is forbidden by every consideration of prudence, safety, and jus tice." But what occurred three years afterwards, its 1824 ? Why the then Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Robinson) declared that " the country was in an unexampled state of prosperity, such lad been the increase of our foreign commerce and advan tages derived front the free system of trade." He further said, " Why not now emancipate the com merce of Great Britain ? Why not cut the cords that tied her down to the earth, and let her spring up aloft to convey the produce of our industry to every quarter of the world ?"—(Cheers.)—" What. period could be more auspicious?—every thing prospered with us—the finances exhibited excess, trade was flourishing, and capital was actually float ing about, seeking for employment. It was the very best opportunity that could be desired to cut the bonds of ancient prejudices which shackled the na tion's energies, and spring forward with a new start in the pursuit of national wealth. " Lord bless me," (continued the Right Hon. Gent.) " British manufactured silks are thought so well of in foreign markets, that we have only to remove those prohi bitions, and they will obtain a preference over the commodities of every other country." Now the exports of this year were less than any of those, with the exception of a single year, for 24 years, and upon an average of them by 6,500,000/. per ann.; and oar exports to France were about 4,000/., imports 2,600,0001. He would ask, how could a Minister come down and make snch a statement ? But he supposed it was a part of his duty to de , scribe trade as flourishing, and commerce as in creasing, when both were at the lowest ebb. While this depreciation had been going on, the taxes had remained stationary ; and were, besides the expense of collection, above 50,000,0001. per annum; whilst insolvency, crime, and pauperism, had rapidly increased. Although the people were now better educated than formerly, the commitments for crime had been, in six years, from 1804 to 1810, 28,628; ditto 1810 to 1816, 42,456; ditto 1816 to 1822, 80,619 ; ditto 1822 to 1828, 91,047 ;—total in 21 years, 242,950 persons. The first twelve years, 71,164; the second ditto, 171,866;—increase in twelve years, 100,782 persons. In 1826, commit ments, 16,164; in 1827, ditto, 70,921 ; increase in one year, 1,777 persons. Insolvents, from 1814 to 1828, 59,300; bankrupts, about 25,000 ;-84,300 persons. Where there was one bankruptcy, there were ten compositions, and the partners under com missions of bankruptcy, and their wives and families, and those of insolvents, would make the above 350,000. persons, upon a moderate estimate. The poor rates were nearly 8,000,0001. per annum. In one parish within the city of London, where the houses were 800, the defaulters, most of whom were excused or allowed time, 200. The paupers in the workhouse were 312,—ditto, out of the house, 324, . —636 paupers, besides those supported in schools and other charities. The population had increased within the last thirty years 30 per cent. The ne cessary articles of consumption—malt, beer, tea, tobacco, and others—had not increased in any thing like the same proportion : the consumption of beer had actually decreased within the last three years 600,000 barrels. It was, he conceived, impossible that such a state of things could long continue. Mr. W. WHITMORE said, nothing that had fallen from the worthy Alderman had. more asto nished him than the statement that the foreign trade of this country had greatly declined of late years. It could be easily shown that there hail been a vast increase in the quantity of articles exported from this country. From 1790 to 1799, the annual average experts of this country, stated in official value (which stated the quantity), amounted to 17,670,000/. From 1800 to 1809, the annual average amount was 26,211,0004 ; from- XlBlO ,to 1820, the annual average amount was 36,921,0004 s --showing an increase in the annual average of ex , ports of 10,000,000/. for eh period:of - telt.,yesis,_ , respectively.

average amount was 45,00,0004; in the year 1827 it was 51,276,0001.; and in 1828 it rose to 52,049,000/.—(Hear.)—And this was the great fall in the foreign trade of the country which the worthy Alderman depiored.—(Loßd mks of hear, hear.)—lt was quite true that gi eat • pressure had arisen from the change ham a paper to a metallic currency. It was equally certain that to tamper with the currency of any country must be followed by a certain degree of distres:, and that it was itt. possible to return from a paper to a metaiiic cur ,tency Nvitiout producing sna r ing and distress RMUllgrit some parties in the country. But the question was, whether they were to have a iluetua tit - Jz currency, under which no man could be any thae day certain of the value of his property, and which tended to drive capital out of the country, or whether they should not establish a cucrency less liable to sutlClen changes and. fluctuations. He did trot take the gloomy view which the worthy Alder man and others took of the prospects of the cow:- 17, and he totally differed from them as to the re medy for our present distresses and difficultioc, lie 'rooked upon the entire relaxation of our commercial laws, so as to allow the free employment and circa lation of capital, as one of the best means of restoring the prosperity of the country, and he looked forward to the opening of the trade to India as a measure calculated to remove much of the distress unAcr which the country laboured.. The greatest depre ciation of the currenztv existed in 1811, and that was the very time when the greatest distress and suffer jug exist`.ld in the country. The worthy Alderman had '..eferred to the number of bankruptcies as a proof of the distress of the country. Now the average amount of bankruptcies for -the ten years preceding 1510 was 1,214, In 1810, they amounted to 2,314 ; in 1811, to 2,500; and in 1812, to 2,229 ; and during these three years there were forty-seven bankers bankrupts, while but six bankers had become bankrupt (luring the ten preceding years. Now those were periods when a great depreciation existed in the currency of the country. He therefore did not take such a gloomy view of our prospects; on the con trary, he anticipated a return of the former prosperity of the country. Mr. H. GURNEY saki, it would be impossible to Take extensive reductions in our taxation and ex penditure at present, without committing an act of riciotallbanktuptcy. ilr. ATT WOOD supported the views of the petitioners, and contended that the suggestions which they made were well worthy of the attention of the Government. Mr. PEEL said it was impossible to restore the currency of this country to a sound and I ealthy state, without producing a great deal of suffering in the country for many years. The currency, after 1797, having become greatly depreciated, they had no other alternative open to them, but either to leave " things as they were, or to do that which wonll he attended with distress and suffering for some years, to some classes in the country. Two measures offered themselves to their consideration in 1819— either to leave matters as they were, with a depre ciated standard, or to rai,e the standard by returning to a metallic currency. An equitable adjustment was also proposed thee, and it was proposed that the public creditor, with whom a debt had been con tracted in a depreciated paper currency, should, upon our returning to a metallic currency, be paid only in proportion to the value of the paper cur rency in which the debt had been contracted. The first and great objection to this was, that it would be impossible to discover the original creditor, and in the next place it would be obviously unjust to adopt such a measure in regard to those individuals i n t o w h ose h an d s those funds had subsequently passed, and who might have pur awed them in a currency but little depreciated below the existing standard. He hoped never to live to see the ti ::e when a restriction upon =he Bank would be again found necessary. It would be easy for the Government to do what was sug gested by some Hon. Members ; it would be easy ' for Government by an issue of paper wine-cease the c'etulation of the country ; but what would he the consequence ? that the exchanges would rise, and that gold would be carried out of the counrrye--- Let them but once give thepower to the Bank to issue paper not payable in gold, and all the consequences which Mr. Hume had stated in one of his essays on the increase of the currency would immediately follow. It was not necessary to look to the state of the exchanges during the last two months, to see what would be the effect of the issue of a paper currency. The Government would, by such a mean*, encourage the departure of gold from this country. It would leave the country, while the Bank would be liable still to pay in gold on demand; and he was convinced that they never could return to the issue of a paper currency, without relieving the Bank from the obligation of paying in gold. The Government was determined to adhere to the pre sent system ; and, for the reasons which he had stated, he shoal never consent to a revision or al teration of the existing currency of the country. — hear.)—The exports of the country, its im ports, and the quantity of exeiseable articles, had, during, this period, increased. As the consumption of exciseable articles had increased, the receipts of the revenue had progressively increased also. How did the Hon. Member reconcile these facts to his statement of the total depression of trade and deli , dent demand? Instead of factories having de . creased in nun.ber, or the .spirit of speculation in this respect being on the decline, the number of fac rories had sensibly increased every year since 1820, more particularly at Manchester; and, singular enough to _ay, those factories were either silk facto ' ries altogether, or factories of goods compounded of snk and cotton, or other material. In 1820 they were 54 in number, and they were assessed to the poorerates of the town at the annual value of 16,8161, In 1 . 823 there were fifty-six, and they were as sessed at a yearly value of 18,2931. In 1826, the , year in which the Small Note Bill passed, they in creased to 72, and were assessed at 24,000/. ; and ! in 1928, the year prior to the Small Notes' Bill eoming into operation, they were in number 73, and were assessed at 23,245/. annual value. It Ives true, that during a part of this period, there was some of them untenanted; but of those tenanted in 1820, there were 52 factories, whilst in 1828 there • were 60. flow, then, if trade was not going on progressively increasing, did it happen that the de sire to embark in this branch of manufacture had in .creased, from 1820 up o last year, in the propor tion of 16,8001. to 21,0004 ? The same disposi tion to speculate in this branch of manufacture had been displayed in Charlton-row and Salford, suburbs of Manchester—the former in 1820 having but five manufactories, in 1828 twelve; Salford having also 'in 1820 seven factories, in 1828 twelve. It would . be absurd to say this was an evidence of distress in this trade, or a want of incentive to speculate. Yet the Hon. Member was excessively 'sanguine in the conviction that he could prove there was, notwith standing, a cessation of demand for these articles of manufacture. To place the reverse of this argu ment in the strongest light, it was only necessary to inspect the returns before the House as to the num ber of looms at work in 1823, which was 2,300; whilst in 1828, Whilst all these abominable and ill judged measures were carrying on, the number of looms were increased to 8,400. The information he had on the subject of the silk-trade there was that the trade was brisk, and that no good manufacturer of silk was at present in want of employment. Now, were he to hazard an opinion as to the present depres sion of trade, he should be disposed to confess he attributed it to a combination of a variety of causes. Much was to be attributed last year to the over productiveness of our manufactures,—to the bad harvest not a little,—to the effect of the American tariff, a measure which it would seem had lost its efficacy in consequence of the activity of smuggling British goods into the very extensive ce-loard of the United States. Yet though : thcee ecombined and co-operated to depress trade, prices ltud re covered, and there was an improvement in the ' market, nor would he be induced to. doubt that the vessel would right itself were it afforded an _oppor e ,tunity. The excellence of out machinery and its substitution for manual labour each day threw many out of employment. This Was felt more particu larly by the poor Irish at Manchester, who crowded thither from Ireland whenever they were encouraged to expect occupation there, being enabled to Collie over at the trifling charge of lEid. a head, to a coun try which not only ir j aVe than work, but allowed them a provision trom the poor rates when ill. Their siteation had given considerable concern to the Magistrates in that district, and they had very properly, in some cases, admitted their claim to re lief from parochial funds. All these occurrences were rot without their parallels in former periods and he begged the House, esuecialy el- appearances were improving at present, not to consent to un settlf% by the appointment of a Committee, the state of the public mind on a subject of such vital im portance as that under their consideration.—( Hear.) Mr. A. BARING contended that it was the duty of the sovereign state to provide that the money currency should be characterized by its steadiness. If that principle were once disturbed or deranged, the consequence. must be, that the greatest injustice would be done to individuals, an instance of which in the case of the Government of the Cape of Good Hope be had occasion recently to mention. The public were deceived if they thought there were not sulliciemt aueommodatione in trade. Money was to be had, acid abundantly, if credit were good. The circulation of small notes was not essential. In towns equally remarkable for extensive business as others which departed from this practice, small notes were not circulated. Manchester was an instance of this. He regretted to say that he contemplated the pos sibility that in a long run this country could not be expected to maintain its ascendancy at a great ma nufacturing country, when the price of food for its artisans and people was so disproportionate to the price of food in rival manufacturing countries. There the price of corn was 30a.,—wIth us never under 60s. Trade, too, was migratory, and often shifted from long-favoured spots to suit its convenience, as a staple of this country had shifted from Devonshire to Yorkshire, and the silk-trade from Spitalfields to Manchester. There was a danger that its next migra tion might be to Germany, or some other rival nation. What we were looking for to guide our opinion is the question of what is the real cause of the altera tion in the value of money. The question was not determinable by the difference between paper and metal, for there were some of the wealthiest coun tries in Europe Avhich had rejected specie as the circulatieg medium. England had at one time scarcely an ounce of gold ; Austria the same, Den mark the same. Nearly half of Europe had got rid of specie, and had adopted paper. That circum staece of itself produced a depreciation, of specie and bullion, because the exclusion of so much metal from circulation had the-same effect as if those countries had found anew mine. The depreciation of money arising from the waking of the Mexican mines was increased by the banking system of Europe, and by the false banking system by which it had been followed, whereby an unlimited issue of paper took place. He (Mr. Bating) had happened to be one of a number of gentlemen who had been applied to by a certain court, to know what was best to be done, in consequence of the depreciation of its paper, which was in proportion to bullion as 3 to I. He said in reply, that there would be as much or more injustice in going from 3i to 1, as there had been in going from 1 to 3. Many false theories had Leen stated upon this subject, and gentlemen talked of an equitable adjust mennand others seemed to think that if the Batik paid in specie all would go right. Others thought that corn would be a correct mea sure of the depreciation of money. But he had no hesitation in saying, that if one or two years were taken it would be the very worst criterion, though it might perhaps be the best we could get if the average of a number of years were taken. The real difference in the value of money in England was nearly the difference of the price of corn. Taking it at its present price, about 555. or 60s. the dif ference between that price and 85s. or 90s. was abeut the difference between the value of money at the two periods. But the only true mode of ascertaining the real depreciation of money, was by taking the prices of all commodities together, because their ditThrenees would be corrected. There was another circum stance, in addition to what had been stated with regard to the operation of the American tariff, which pro duced a great apparent increase of trade, owing to persons anticipating this tariff and importing goods, whence the American import., which were 6,000,0004 the preceding year, rose to 8,200,0001. It would be a great advantage to this country, if by any means short of interference we could bring about some arrangement between the new South American States and the mother country, which would enable them to economize their resources, and become new customers for our manufactures. Besides the market which might be opened to us in the east, there was another of our own colonies, the disgraced Australia, which not only afforded an outlet to a population pressing on us, but raised up consumers for our ma nufactures. In the absence of any practical and certain measure of relief, we should not meddle with the question. Mr. W. HORTON took the present opportunity of addressing to the House the views which he had intended to explain upon moving the resolutions of which he had given notice, as to the distress of the labouring poor. The Right Hon. Member con tended that the population was redundant, especially in Ireland and the agricultural districts; and quoted the evidence of Mr. Northouse, given before the Emigration Committee, to show that the removal of 1,000 by emigration would give as great a relief to the country as giving employment to double that number. He alluded particularly to agricultural la bourers; and it was the redundancy of them that caused the deterioration in their wages. Some ad vocated a change in the currency as a remedy for the present distress, while others of quite an opposite character, contended that the Corn Laws were the great enemy of our general prosperity. He hiinself was convinced that no material change would take place in the Corn Laws or in the currency, and he was also convinced, that if a change were made, it would prove no efficient remedy. The House then were called upon to look fur some practical remedy. The proposition to be considered was—can and will you increase the capital applied to the employment of labour, or can and will you reduce the quantity of labour in the market ? He was decidedly of opinion that the latter course was the preferable one, and upon that opinion he had framed hie second resolu tion. The Right Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the experiment made at the recommendation of the Emigration Committee, and contended that its re sult confirmed the conclusion he maintained. Such too was the opinion of Mr. Tooke, Mr. Malthus, and others. The remedy he proposed he admitted would require a temporary sacrifice; but he contended that the ultimate good would far outweigh the present loss, and prove the measure one of true substantial economy. But it was said that the vacuum would he speedily filled up. This, however, be denied. • In the course of nature the population would in crease, but those most conversant with the subject held that the good derived from the emigration be fore the population had consideralsly increased, would entirely outweigh the expense. The Right Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the remarks which Mr. Sadler had made in his work on Ireland, on the con duct of the Emigration Committee. He had on a previous occasion endeavoured to answer those at tacks, and the Hon. Member for Newark in reply had stated that the mortality among the emigrants had been one in fourteen, while Le (Mr. Horton) should contend that it had been only one in forty. The Honourable Member for :Newark had said, that the mortality was greater than in . Constantinople and Cairo, but it appeared upon cal culation that it was not greater than in Carlisle, one of the healthiest places in England. On his own data the Hon. Member for Newark was wrong, for instead of one in fourteen, a calculation by Mr. Fin- . lavaon gave one in twenty-one. That too was taking the very worst year, that of 1825. Again, the Hon. Member for Newark stated, that the average mon tality in England was as one in fifty-nine, but the best calculations gave it one in fifty-seven in the very healthiest spots. By further calculations too, made by Mr. Finlayson; it appeared that the deaths among the new settlers . were not so great in propor tion as among the poetr in this country. It was not fair in the Hon. Met - Ober for Newark to take the single year of .1:623. That year was a most unfor tunate one, and upen a series of years, accordieg to the calculations of Mr., Fitilayson, the mortality among the emigrants had been one in forty. He did not make these statements to lead to exag gerated notions of the salubrity of the Canadas, but to vindicate the Emigration Committee. His only object in proposing Insßesolutions was, to have them put on record. Mr. SADLER said that the Right Hon. Gen tleman had been so courteous as to place into his }lauds, since be had entered the House, a copy of the paper from which he had read his calculations; but as the paper containing those calculations was printed, and there had been plenty of time, he should hive felt the courtesy much greater had he been furnished with it some few days before. As it was he would meet the subject. ile had not taken a particular year but the entirety of the period. He could take no portion of the time, for no data was given for such a calculation. But the state ment allowed by the Right lion. Gentleman was a mortality of one in twenty-one— -a frightful destruc tion. But let the Right Hon. Gentleman look at the births and deaths. The deaths were nearly two to one birth, and if that did not establish the con elusion to which he Lad come, he knew not what could.—(Hear.)—He repeated that the mortality in the Fever Hospital in Dublin had not been so great as that among the emigrants from the time of their sailing to the period of making up the report.— (Hear, hear.)—He denied too the fertility of the Canadas, especially in grain. There was another point too which ought not to be lost sight of. No . less than 133 of the emigrants were absent from their locations, and that surely was no proof of the prosperity of the parties through whom the experi ment bad been made.—(Hear, hear.)—While he was on his legs be would notice the Right Hon. Gentleman's remarks on the redundancy of the population. From the beginning of time up to the present hour, in almost all countries, had there been some politicians who complained of a superabundant population. The savage who roamed on his square mile, complained of a superabundant population— (Hear)—aed thought he must thin his race by war, to insure his own subsistence. He would not go into the question to the full extent that history , would euable him, but content himself with allud ing to the reigns of Henry the Eighth and of Eli zabeth. In those periods the doctrine of the Right Hcn. Gentleman had been promulgated, but Lord Bacon silenced the supporters of the position.— (Hear.)—They were told the agricultural labourers were superfluous, but the very first piece of evi dence appended to the Emigration Committee Re• port showed that there was a great scarcity of labourers in the summer months.—( Hear, hear.) — It had not pleased Providence to distribute agricul tural labour equally throughout the year, but if the agricultural labourers were diminished, the consum mation of the object of all agricultural exertions would be impracticable.—(Cheers.)—While man kind was held in slavery and thraldom, the popula tion was not thought superabundant. So long as one human being was the slave of another he was considered of some value. In Barbadoes, where the population was twice as dense in proportion as in this country, and the means of subsistence infinitely less, there was no complaint of a redundimt popula tion, for there slavery still reigned. The poet's doctrine had been— The day that made a man a slave Took half his worth away; but the new notion appeared to be that the day a man became free he became worth nothing at. all.— (Cheers.)—He should not have said one word but for the personal allusions which had been male to himself, and he had to apologise to the House for trespassing upon its attention. He should give to the whole of the subject his best attention, and take an early opportunity next Session of further and fully attempting to support the opinioni he had ven tured to titter.—(Hear, hear.) _ _ Mr. HUSKISSON contended that Colonization ought to be encouraged. had it not been for emi gration, this country could never have reached its present state of importance and prosperity, nor would our languag e have been extended to the United States, and been adopted in more distant countries. The Right Hon. Gentleman could not accede to the Views of the Hon. Member (Mr. Sadler.)—He could not see that England had suf fered front the emigration of her subjects to the United States. The Hon. Gentleman considered it impossible to increase too much the population of a country. China, in the lion. Gentleman's opi nion, was the best country in the world. Ireland and England could contain a larger population, but that population must be employed. He thought emigration with capital advantageous to the country, but sending out paupers would be attended by more difficulty than many imagined. The Right Hon. Gentleman, adverting to the question of the Cur rency, said he had the good fortune to know front the discussion that evening, and the discussion on a former . occasion elsewhere, that there was no intention to alter the currency. Ile knew it would ba coi.trary to good policy to return to a paper currency. If the Government had not abandoned the small note system of 1825, the country would never have recovered from a state of poverty and distress ; it must ultimately have produced a revolution in all the relations of so ciety. When Hon. Gentlemen spoke of the diffi culty and pressure of the present moment, he should say, if they had relaxed from their system adopted since 1825, the result would have' been such a panic as that which occurred in 1825. lie was glad to find that Government would not depart from that system, which, although it had led to temporuy suffering and distress, would ultimately rescue the country from destruction. It there was one circum stance more striking than another, it was the pro digious increase of consumption. Instead of that being a misfortune, as the Hon. Alderman called it, he considered it a proof of the growing wealth and resources of the country. In the year 1814, the exchange in trade was against us ; now it was in our favour. The Hon. Alderman had stated that the cheapness of the raw material had reduced the price of manufactured goods. It was so; but the question was, what was this country with respect to the trade of the world? Why, the people of England were the greatest exporters in the world, and how could we carry on trade and sell in the fo- . reign market unless the raw material was cheap ? In the United States, where they had committed many errors, they had limited their manufactures to their own markets; consequently they were liable to great fluctuation in trade, and incapable of com peting with England. Export trade was most ad vantageous, and every facility should be given to the removing restraint on the importations of raw material. By that system he was convinced the country would be saved. Periods of temporary dif ficulty would occur, but those difficulties would find relief in the great cheapness of articles. Th e em barrassments of the moment did not prove a want of national prosperity. This country would carry on its great affairs with as small a portion of metallic currency as possible, but let them guard against a system which had led to deprecation of the cur rency, and the panic which was felt in 1825. He had heard somewhere a metaphor respecting paper currency. Like a sky-rocket, it rose with splen dour, but lost its brightness, and when its fire was extinguished, it fell in darkness, like the shaft of the rocket, upon the heads of those who had raised it. _ . Mr. CRIPPS said, there were different causes of the evils now existing inihis country, among Nalich, perhaps, .overtrading and .tampering with the cur rency might be numbered. He thought a limited circulation of notes might be allowed, for that would alleviate the distresses of the country, by making the currency larger in its amount than at present — a want of which he believed to be at this moment one of the causes of distress. Mr. Alderman WAITHNIAiN had been mistaken. He only said, or meant to say, that low prices could not exist with heavy taxation, because the manufacturer must be ruined by the operation of the two causes. l Mr. BARING believed that the Canadas were by no means in the state that had been described by the Hon. Member for Newark (Mr. Sadler), and thought that if the fact could be ascertained, it would be found that there was more fever in the county of Essex than in the wi,ole of Upper Canada. Mr. WODEHOUSE—If we should happen to have a good harvest this year, the consequence would be that we should be visited by our old friend, over-production ; while, on the other band, if the harvest was bad, all our currency would be exported to France and other countries on the Continent, and the, nation would suffer that way. \Vas it not evi dent that the consequence of a gold currency Would be, that it would be brought into a most withering contraction, and so cut off that trade which was of the highest importance to the country ? Mr. PEEL—In consequence of the course of po licy which he bad deemed it advisable to adopt in the present Session ; a series of unfounded calum nies bad been levelled at hint, which, however, be had despised too much to condescend to notice But there was one which, as it reflected on his public and official character, he would, with the : permission of the House, allude to on that occasion. The report to which he alluded was, that he had used his influence as Secretary of State to procure an enormous grant of land for a relative of his.— (Hear, hear.)—ln consequence of seeing this report in the public newspapers, he had requested his Right lion. Friend to move in that House for the production of certain papers calculated to explain the whole matter. Those papers had in conse quence been produced, and were now printed ; he i• trusted, however, that the House would excuse him for again alluding to the subject.—(Hear, hear.) — He had hoped that the consequence of those papers being printed would have been, that some Member would have asked some questions on the subject ; but though this was not the case, he had received a communication which made him think that some one out of doors had been imposed upon by the calumny, though no Member of that House had been so deceived.—(Cheering.)—He begged, in the first place, to state most distinctly that he had pro cured no grant of land for any brother of his.— (Hear, hear.)—A gentleman, whose name was the same as his, and who was his second cousin, had had a grant made him by his Right Hon. Friend; but in that gram he begged to state to the House, upon his word of honour, as a gentletnan, be had had no participation whatever.—(Hear, hear.) — Indeed, he really had so many cousins, and second cousins, that it was not very likely that he should use his influence in procuring large grants in their favour. But with respect to this case, the fact simply was, that some time since his ' cousin informed him that it was his intention to go out to New South Wales as a settler.— This was in the month of June, 1828. In consequence of this communication from his cousin, he wrote a letter to his Right Hon. Friend to the effect, that a relation of his, of the name of Thomas Peel, who was possessed of ample means and good character, proposed going out to the Colony as a settler, and that he should be obliged to his Right Hon. Friend to give his cousin any facilities that be properly could. He certainly did not think that this letter was any undue exercise of his influence. (Hear, hear.)—All that he had done was, on tinder- standing that his cousin purposed going to New South Wales, as a settler, to ask his Right Hon. Friend to give him any facility that he consistently could. With respect to the settlement on the Swan River, be was ashamed to say that he had neither heard nor knew of it, till he received a letter front his cousin, announcing to him that he had abandoned the idee of going to New South Wales ; and that from the circumstance of Mr. Twi;s informing him that Government would be disposed to afford aseist ancOto any settlers going to the Swan River, he and three other gentlemen had been induced to send in a proposal to that effect. He had subsequently inquired of his Right Hon. Friend . on this peiur, and understood from him that no arrangement had been made in consequence of that proposal, and front the particulars which his Right Hon. Friend had afforded him, he had stated his conviction that he hail done perfectly right in declining the pro posal ; in fact, the plan proposed was upon so large a scale, that his Right Hon. Friend had not thought it right to enter into any such arrangement till a full report was received from Captain Stirling, respect ing the capabilities of the settlement ; and in con sequence, his cousin had been recommended to go there as au individual settler. Whether the grant to him had been right or wrong, he -(Mr. Peel) would not endertake to say : all that he -had to do was, to assure the House on the honour of a gen tleman, that he bad never made any application, either directly or indirectly, to his Right Hon. Friend further than what he had already stated ; and that wl en the grant was made it never had even been communicated to him.—(Hear ' hear.)—With re spect to the other calumnies which had been pro mulgated against him, they rather went to private matters, and he bad therefore not condescended to notice them ; but as. this one had reference to the public department in which he officiated, he had thought it so far a public concern, as to venture to ask the attention of the House while he trespassed on it to disclaim any participation in the grant that had been made.—! Hear, hear.) Sir G. MURRAY—The House would, pro haldv, think, after the statement of his Right Hon. Friend, that it would be unnecessary for hint to rise to addles them.—(Hear, hear.)—He was satisfied that the House knew that his Right Hon. Friend was incapable of proposing any thing that would come under the designation of what was vulgarly called a job—(llcar, hear)—and if the House knew his character as well as they did that of his Right Hon. Friend, they woul.l also feel that, even suppos ing his Right Hon. Friend could have proposed such a thing, he never would have acceded to it.—(Hear, hear.)—The House was already in possession of some of the particulars of the grant ; to those might he added, that the proposal made by Mr. Thomas Peel and his friends went to the taking out of 10,000 persons to the Swan Wver, in consequence of which the Colonial Department had felt that this would be risking to' flinch in the present early state of the settlement. They had been advised to arrange their proposal on a less extensive scale; three of the gentlemen bad, in consequence, weir* but Mr. .Thomas Peel still adhered to the scheme. This, however, was merely accidental, and it might just as well have happened that Mr. McQueen, or any of the other gentlemen had remained, and Mr. Thomas Peel retired.—(Hear, hear.)—After this time all the proceedings went on in the Colonial Office without his Right Hon. Friend havin g arty acqUaintance with them,—(Hear, h e ar.)—He did not complain of what had appeared in the public were open to every one, they must papers,fr necessarily ia sthey often be mad e th e channel ofca lumniesi ca lumnies and mis-statements, as well as of useful in formation ; and as this was well known to be the case, he had not thought it necessary to insert in them any contradiction of t h e statemen t a ll u d e d t o . Mr. B.R.OUGHAM—He believed he should be but speaking the sense of the ss hole House when he said that he -had hearth for the first time in his life the Right Hon. Gentleman make a speech that was wholly unnecessary.—(Hear, That it would have the effect out of doors of .silencing these who had taken up the sulject was more than he could answer for ; but this he would venture to pronounce, that if this calumny produced no effect abroad, so it produced no effect in that House, and might, there fore, be treated with the contempt it . deserved, though, perhaps, as the matter had' some public re ference, the Right Hon. Gentleman had pursued the safer course in thus affording it an unequivocal de hear.)—The Hon. and Learned Gent. then proceeded to reply to the observations that had been made on the petition which he had presented : Upon the subject of the currency, which had en grossed so much of the attention of the House during the discussion, lie would merely say; that at the time when the Noble Lord, now a Member .of the other House (Radnor), brought the question of an equitable adjustment under consideration in the years 1819 and 1822, he (Mr. Brougham) thought: that it did not receive all the attention which it de served. The House decided then against the proposal of an adjustment—the time being of all others the best fitted for such an attempt, because the currency had not been raised from its state of depreciation. If, therefore, they were of opnion that an adjustment should not take place then, how much less was it fit that it should take place now, when those great changes had been effected to wWch Hon. Members alluded. That adjustment was now placed beyond their power ; and all he had now to hope was, that no possible state of circumstances would ever induce the Legislature again to tamper with the currency. Mr. A. BARING would merely say, in answer to the last observation of the Hon. Member (Mr. Brougham), that the Government of this country could not support the expence of two campaigns in any war in which they might have the misfortune to be engaged, without hem , / driven to that tam pering which the Hon. Member contlemned. Mr. BROUGHANI, in reply, expressed his pleasure to hear that they possessed so good reason, in addition to many others, for avoiding the evils in future. The petition was then ordered to be printed. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave notice of his intention to move, on Friday, that the House adjourn until the Friday following. TURNPIKE BILLS. On the motion of Mr. LITTLETON, it was or dered that all Committees on petitions for leave to bring in Bills to continue and amend Acts establish• ing turnpike trusts, be henceforth discontinued; and that the parties lie required to prove their compli ance With the Standing Orders before the Com mittee on the Bills. DISTRESS OF THE LABOURING CLASSES. . Mr. W. HORTON said, that after what had taken place during the evening, he should not offer any further observations on his resolutions respecting the causes of, or remedies for, the .distress among the labouring and manufacturing classes. The resolutions were then pu — t and negatived. CANADA. Mr. LABOUCHERE postponed unzil to morrow (this day) his motion for Papers respecting Canada. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. OTWA.Y CAVE then said—ln moving the Resolutions which I shall have the honour of sub mitting to the House, having for their object the freedom, of all children born of , slave, parents after the first of January, 1830, I do not pretend to any originality, nor can I be charged with any presump tion, when this House is reminded that this very proposition was brought forward so long as about thirty years ago, by one of the most favored Minis ters of the Crown, sanctioned also and countenanced by the West Indian proprietors themselves. I should do injustice to the subject, and take up the time of the House unnecessarily, were I to enter into any detailed arguments in support of these Resolutions, because they only require. to be enun ciated that they may at once be recognised l.y thiS or any other Representative Assembly, professing to be guided by justice ; and I only call upon this House to uphold its own principles, and to protect -those rights which must be admitted to exist de fare, although they are daily and notoriously violated de facto, in our colonies. In all the discussions which have taken place on this great and con stitutional question, the essential distinction ap pears to have been most unaccountably lost sight of between things and human beings—between things brutish or inanimate, nhiclt are. in them selves incapable of having any natural rights of their own—and human . beings, all - of whom have natural rights, namely,•those of life. and-liberty —for the protection Of which all laws and legisla tures are instituted—which No law or legishiture can confer or take away, unless where crime be com mitted. It will be quite enough, us it appears to me, to quote only two authorities on the point. The first is Blackstone, wile in book 1, chap. 10, says, " That those rights which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights (such as are life and liberty), need not the aid of human laws, to be more effectually vested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any ad ditional strength, when declared by municipal, or hu man laws, to be inviolable. On the contrary, no hu man legislature has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner shall himself commit some criminal act that amounts to a forfeiture." I will only add to that, the opinion of Sir H. C. Tindall, whose authority fur professional attainment and sobriety of judgment, will not, I think, be disputed by any one who hears me. He saes, " Every subject of time State has a right to life and liberty, and the Go vernment that would invade those rights, would not only violate the law, but would be acting on a prin ciple whose operation would destroy the Govern ment itself. But to deny public offices to persons holdirg opinions injurious to the State, is quite another thing from the deprivation of natural rights." —May sth, 18'28, Debate on the Catholic Ques tion.-1 assert, on Blackstone's authority, there fore, that all the British born subjects, as the Ne groes are admitted to be, are from their birth en titled to the protection of the Sovereign in return for their allegiance ; and that no Legislature on earth is competent to take away from them their title to that protection. Time, I admit, may give a good legal title to property, however originally acquired ; but the rule is only applicable to things i nan i mate or brutal, which having no inherent rights of their own, are capable of being subjected to the artificial pro prietary interests of civil society, and as the only question with respect to such things is, who shall possess them, time, custom, and possession are the best guides to decide the dispute. The rule has no sort of application to human beings, and 110 British subject can therefore be legally compelled to be come the slave of another British subject. Let us no longer, therefore, be told, that innocent British children are condemned to slavery within the domi nion of the British Crown, by any other principle than that of the law of the strongest. Sir, forty years have now elapsed since this great Constitu tional question- has been brought before the House, yet nothing definite has yet been done to put an end to a state of things which may perhaps be a matter of indifference to the frivolous and worldly-minded, but which is deplorable, shocking, and revolting to the religious, the generous, and the humane ; and I trust that this House will not separate without prey flouncing - an opinion upon it. The Hon. Member concluded by moving the following Resolutions : " Resolved, Ist. That nu human Legislature has any lawful pow: rto abridge or destroy the natural rights f life and liberty, unless the owner shall himself commit some criminal act that amounts to a forfeiture. " 2. That although neither the GoVernment nor the -Legislature of this country have arrogated to themselvi s the power of destroying the natural rights of innocent British subjects, or of delegating any such power to other authorities, it is a notorious fact that in many British Colonies lying remote from the immediate observation of the Government, innocent British born subjects are, from the' time of their birth, robbed of their natural rights, and converted into slaves. _ _ _ " S. That it is the especial duty of this House, as the Representatives of the - people, to take effeillal measures for prot sting all British subjects that shall be - porn hence forward in . the West Indian Colonies, from similar viola tions of their natural, inherent, and Paramount rights a, human beings." - The motion being seconded by Mr. LUMLEY, Mr. W. SMITH said he could not gtve his sup port to these resolutions, because they were con nected with a question of too much importance to be agitated in such a manner, and at such a period of the session. Mr. HUSKISSON was of opinion that resale• dons of such a description as the-e brought forward by the Honourable Member, ought to be met by direct negative. _ Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House. proceeded to divide ; but as it appeared that no Member's supported the Resolutions except the - - 60' Mover the Seconder, anu twat _toe - L.lolr, • fore, bad no Members to act as Telleri, tia3 .• lotions • lotions were declared to be negatived..,, division. c4e 4 ' The other Orders of the were t at 4 hen O n , of, and the House adjourned at Halt-pa St. o'clock.

We refer to our City account for mention of another battle that has been fought under the walls of Silistria. • Surely the. Turks must have managed improvidently in having so badly pro•• visioned the place, when as a matter of course they must have expected the Russians would have invested it. The campaign between the Turks and Rus sians has at last commenced in good eamest.— Accounts dated Warsaw, May 26, and bearing every appearance of antlienticity, state that the important fortress of Silistria has been invested with equal energy and success. The enemy, about 5,000 strong, occupied some intrenchments which were erected last year, two worsts from Silistria. Here they were attacked by the Rus sians, driven back at every point, and compelled to retreat in confusion rto the fortress. The Russian troops advanced to within the distance of cannon shot of the walls. " The loss of the enemy," adds the same authority, " on the 17th May, may be about 400 or 500 men killed and wounded ; ours is about 150 men killed and wounded. The bridge built at Ka larasch, the completion of which was de layed by the overflowing of the river, will be finished in two or three days, and as well as the bridge at Hirsowra, will facilitate the com munication with the left bank of the Danube. The communication of the besieging corps with Bazardjik, Kdsludgi, and Pravadi, are fully secured,.anti the detachmerits sent out to scour the country have only met with *a - few straggling parties of the enemy." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwEr.rz o' CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are few, and not of import ance. Up to the present hour there is no activity in the Consol market, which opened this morning at the same pike it left off yesterday; 88 for the Account, since which they have been done at 88k. Exchequer Bills are the same. as yesterday, 68 . '70. • In the Foreign market, Brazilian Shares bare some. what improved ; in other securities little or nothing doing as yet. The Russian campaign being at length opened, we may expect daily important information from the East. Three per Cent. Consols, shut; Ditto for July 23, sBl i; Three per Cent.

They had a tre mendous set-to, not with their fists or any fashionable weapons, but with such language as would have disgraced Billingsgate - or St. "Giles's. It was supposed to be relat ing to some transactions in Shares. Accounts received this morning by the French mail, report that the Ministers are going to close the Sessions, and not to prorogue it. This measure is owing to the ar rival of Chateaubriand and Prince Polignac, who seem to have agitated the Ministry. By the above conveyance we have accounts from Naples of the 19th May, which state that M. Gordon and M. Guilleminot were to sail on the following day for Smyrna, to obtain information previous to their going to Constan tinople. The French Anibassador embarks in the Breslau., of 80 guns, with the whole of his family, accompanied by the Russian Ambassador. M. Gordon was to embark in the Revenge, accompanied by a geellette. It was ex pected that this small squadron would fall in with the King of Sardinia's flotilla, which was in sight of Gaete, and a brilliant r e c e pti on was prepar i ng f or hi s Majesty. I TWO 0' CL 0 CK. Consols, which were firm in the early part of the morn ing, at BSi for the Account, have since given way, and receded to 881 for Account. This decline is attributed to the remonstrances of our Ambassador at Sr. Peters burgh, in regard to the blockade of the Dardanelles, and the determination of the Emperor of Russia to continue the war. Some business haS been doing in the market, but not to any great extent. The Commissioners purchased in Reduced at 871. A Canton Paper of the 17th January has been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house, stating, that the latest accounts from Riling confirm the report which was heard some time since of a rebellion being detected in Yunnan. The rebel leader had an Im perial Seal engraved, and published Manifestos on the frontiers, and in Cochin-China, to invite people to the standard of revolt, but informition was given to the Go vernor, and the engraver and a few other persons were seized and suffered death. There appears to be in China a prevalent disposition to throw t,ff the yoke of the Tartars, but they have no able leaders, which makes the rebellion a jest. A vessel has arrived from Pernambuco, but we do not hear any news by her ; she brings a quantity of Brazil wood. We extract the following from a Quebec Gazette :—The temper of the United States Government towards Great Britain is expected to become of a more conciliatory tone under the Administration of. General Jackson, .whatever may be the opinion of the world as to the character of the President himself, and there is every disposition on the British s'cle to preserve the most perfect harmony and friendly feeling. In the Foreign Market little or no business is doing, and the prices remain nearly the same as yesterday. There appears to be a demand for money this morning,- conse quently it is not so plentiful as yesterday. We do not hear of any express from Paris as yet.—Exchequer Bills are not so good, 67 68 ; Brazilian, 57 ; Buenos Ayres, 26 27 ; Colombian, 16-1-- 17 ; Danish, 65 66 ; Mexi can, 214 i; Peruvian, 12, 13 ; Portuguese, 43i 1; Russian, 966 Spanish, 9-k A-. HALF-PAST TWO. Private letters have been received from Paris, stating that after the Russians had invested Silistria the Turks made a desperate attempt to introduce into the above for tress 1,500 head of cattle. This attempt was resisted by the Russians. A sortie was made, and a general battle took place, which was desperately fought on both sides, and it is reported the Russians were defeated with the loss of 4,000 or 5,000 men. It is certain that great sickness prevails in the Russian army. Consols within a short period have improved to SS-i for the Account. THREE O'CLOCK. The information in the German Papers, in regard to the remonstrance of the English Ambassador at St. Petersburgh on the Russian blockade is not credited by the well-informed in the City. Re port says, two sail of the line and two frigates arc ordered to the Mediterranean. Consols for Account, 881, buyers. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER ViSite:4 hiy MAJEs-, r ),?zterlay. . .

The LORD CHANcELLort gave judgment in this case, which :was... an Appeal from the. tetirt • of SeSsion in Scotland: In 1810 a number'of persons' associated themselves together, for the purpose of . firming a .Bank at Edinburgh, to he called the Com- mercial Bank of Scotland. They applied to Mr. Pollock, who .was at that time a Writer to the Sig- net, in partnership with a gentleman of the name of Camphell„ot . Edinburgh, to take the manageMent of the concern, making certain proposals to him. Mr. Pollock a s sen t e d, a n d gave up hi s pro f ess i on at Edinburgh for that purpose. Certain negotiations were entered into • for the purpose of establishing what were to be the duties of the manager, and what his remunerations. A contract was drawn up by Mr. Pollock himself for this purpose, .which was not signed, by all the patties,•.which stipulated that the manager was to be possessed of at - least forty ,shares in the. capital stock of the Company... It. stated what his duties were, and that he was not to be removed unless the Committee of Management agreed to it. This contract was ultimately abandoned, and a new one substituted, by which the manager Was only to be removed by the concurrence and consent of two-thirds of the Committee of Mariagement. - ---- Some of the Committee of Management were dis satisfied with the conduct of Mr. Pollock, and re moved him - from his office. In "'consequence of this he instituted certain proceedings in . the Court of Session, contending that, tinder the contract entered into, the Committee had no power to remove him; and that if they had he was e n titl e d to com p ensat i on. Th e Court of Sessions 'decided' on the competency of the Committee of Management to remove Mr. Pollock; but thought him entitled to some remune ration. Mr. Pollock was not satisfied with this, and appealed from that decision to this House. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion with the Court below, that the Committee- of Management had an absolute power to remove Mr. Polled:, and; more over, that•they were . not, bound to give him any compensation upon his dismissal. - He therefore should. advise the House to affirm that part of the judgment of the Court of Session which recog nized the power of the Committee of Management to remove Mr. Pollock, but that part which de clared him entitled to compensation must be re versed. It was right that he should observe, that there were no grounds whatever to sustain the charge of conspiracy. MALCOM V. YOUNG. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave the judgment of the House in this case. The House at the conclusion of the'arguments intimated its opinion, that the judgment of the Court of Session ought to be reversed, and the only question that remained was as to the co4V. ' The principal - question "id the case was, whether a transaction was bona.fide. Oneof the Lords Ordinary decided upon its fairness, but an other had expressed his opinion that it Was not so. The House concurred with the first judgment pro nounced, but_ with respect to the consideration of costs the Lord Chancellor thought no order ought to be made. O ' REILLY V. FEATHERSTONE. Mr. M'ARTHuR followed on the same side as the Solicitor-General (Mr. Sugdcn) in this part-heard appeal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BARTON C. WATERHOUSE AND OTHERS. Mr. GURNEY 'stated that this was an action by a silversmith, against Messrs. Waterhouse and Co., proprietors of the Holyhead Mail, to recover com pensation for damage done to some silver articles contained in a portmanteau, carried by the above coach from London to Birmingham. It appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff sent his brother, James Barton, to Birmingham with a silver tea-pot, basin, and cream-ewer of a new pat tern, to procure orders for similar articles ; and to dispose of them. James Barton booked his place, and met the coach, with a portmanteau containing the above articles, at the Angel, at Islington. The portmanteau was put on the foot-board; but the coachman said there was not room for it there, and ordered it to be taken down. Barton told him that he could not go if the trunk did not ; and the coachman replied that he would put it behind, and see that it went safely. At Highgate, however, it fell from the coach, and the wheel passed over it. On arriving at Birmingham, Barton found that the articles hat) been so damaged that he could not show them, and shortly afterwards returned to town, having completely lost the object of his journey, which cost 51. The damage to the articles would cost his brother, as manufacturer, 121. 11 s. to repair. Mr. CAMPBELL contended that no contract had been proved, as no money had been paid for the extra risk in carrying such articles. The U. Ss. paid was merely for the outside fare, and would have been charged if no luggage had been taken. He also contended, that there was no pretence in calling on the defendant to pay the expense of the journey, as it must be evident that the plaintiff had other ob jects in view in sending his brother to Bir mingham, where he had finished his journey by visiting all his friends. No negligence had been proved with regard to defendant's servants. Lord TENTERDEN, in summing up, observed, that negligence must be implied, as the trunk could not have fallen off it it had been carefully secured. He thought ❑o doubt could exist as to the contract, and the complete loss of the object of the plaintiff's brother's journey. The Jury returned a verdict for the whole amount claimed, namely, 17/. 12e. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THISDAY.) James 111• Donald, a middle aged, decent looking man, mm as charged w:th feloniously breaking open the watch-box •of John Ainsworth, and stealing therefrom two small bottles, value three-pence. The prosecutor (an Irishman) said plase your honor, my box is in Grosvenor-square; on the 30th April, about eleven/o'clock at night, I locks up my box you know, to go my rounds ; when I was a li tt l e way off, I sees the prisoner trying to break it open, ! so I pops down my lanthorn a t a gent l eman ' s d oor , ! and secretes myself until the felony is committed, and then takes the chap into custody. CHAIRMAN—Do - you always wait until a robbery is committed, before you attempt to take a person into custody ? Watchman—Sometimes; but if they gets in, I always. takes care not, to let them get out again.— (A laugh.)—The things the prisoner stole are not worth his carrying awr.y ; he must only have done it to " keep - his . hand in."—(Laughter.) • The prisoner said he only took the bottles for the purpose of fetching some gin to treat the watchman. The CHAIRMAN asked if that wa, a fact ? The watchman shook his head, and, giving a heavy sigh, assured his honour he never heard a word about gin 'before. Guilty—Sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Several prisoners were tried during the morning for stealing pocket handkerchiefs; in most nf-the cases they were sentenced to seven years' trans portation. A melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Dieppe on Sunday last. The- diligence from Paris had stopped at the barrier, and the conductor got down to de liver in his list of articles subject to the octroi, when one of the passengers, Captain JAMES, RN., attempted to alight on the other side of the vehicle, whet e there wcre no steps. He had placed his feet on the wheel, unseen by the conductor, when the latter culled to the postillion to go on, and Captain JAMES was thrown to the ground, when both wheels of the heavy vehicle passed over his body, and he cies L'" the spot. Captai n J AMES was a s t range r I.t Dieppe Jn.: to his fellow - passengers, but his name was iucettained from Ho passport. —B r i g ht o „ Gn„tte. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCIIANGE.—June 2.

On former occasions; it was thought wisest to back winners, but speculation, like the times, has wonderfully changed of late, and the " march of intellect" has brought about quite a new theory in tte art of making a 100k —now-a-days, forsooth, it is looked upon as the safest to select the favourites from the crowd of beaten horses, or horses from bad and unlucky stables. For instance, they picked out Canvas, Luss, Prince Eugene, Brother to Moses, &c., upon whom they laid it o n p re tt y strong , h av i ng t h em at various periods at the top of the odds, nor did they find out their mistake till. it was too late to save themselves. We repeatedly pointed out the absurdity of backing such a nag as the Canvas- colt, who could not even get a place for the July Stakes, or the Loss filly, of an untried breed, and a very unfortunate stable—we also alluded Inure than once to the size of Will-'o-the-Wisp and Brother to Moses, as being too small for such a Course as the Epsom, and the running.of all of them at Newmarket in the spring fully supported our predictions. The only point in which the betting ran even with the public running was in the case of Cant, who was certainly entitled to be backed ; be too was small, and we do not think that he could have gone the length. His death, and that of the King's Electress colt (.t highly promising horse), took two good horses from a _ . very inferior field. In no one instanceat Newmarket did the favourites brought up by the knowing ones sustain the opinion generally expressed of them, while the only borse that turned out well was Patron, who was scarcely ever . . _ _ . higher than 18 or 20 to 1 ; so much for the boasted supe rior judgment and intelligence of the Solomons of the Turf, and so much for private trials. It is not in our tecollec tion that a Derby has produced so many first favourites, and at such long odds. Will-o'-the-Wisp, Espagnolle, Camel, Electress, Cant, Canvas, Prince Eugene, Post Obit, and Patron, have in their turn headed the betting, the last being the only one that have remained so for any time. It must be admitted that there was seine difficulty in selecting a field from 89 horses, of which not above three or four had started ; but there was the better Opportunity afforded for exercising that experience and tact which has g , nerally been awarded as the attribute of betting men, and which appear to us to be satisfactorily disproved. Of the quality of the horses engaged in the race, we can merely observe that we never saw a worse lot, taking them as a body. The betting before starting was, 6 to .5 agst. Patron (taken), 7 to I ag,st. Rhoda, S to 1 agst. Ebury, 10 to 1 agst. Lapdog, 12 to 1 agst. Morris Dancer, 12 to I agst. Espagnolle, 23 to 1 agst. Mr. Payne's, 33 to 1 agst. Fre-1 derick, and 30 to I agst. the Exquisite. st. Rhoda, Frederick, and Prince Eugene, came away in front, closely fallowed by Patron, Morris Dancer, the Ex quisite, and Espagnolie, the others well laid up ; they con tinued so up the hill, and round the corner, where Patron appeared to be well landed, but immediately after, he gave unequivocal symptoms of tiring, and when he got within the distance, it was clear that his chance was out; Dockerav applied the persuaders, but he would not come, and the crack was beat off some distance from home. The winner then singled himself out, Exquisite being at his girths, Rhoda, Prince Eugene, and Espagnolie, lying round him, and so they finished the race, Frederick winning by a bead ; but from the manner in which Forth brought him in, we are satisfied he won it without difficulty. It is not easy to say which of the other three was third, but we believe that it was Rhoda. Ebury was lurching all the way, and, spite of Chiffney's gr, at exertions, ran a very b a d h orse ; as did Mohi can , Lapdog, and most of those that ran in be hind the five above specified. In fact, nothini , had a chance with Fr e d er i c k an d t h e E xqu i s i te, both of a whom were trained by Forth. The result was, a thunderbolt to neatly every one on the Course; for no one had ever dreamt of either Frederick. or Exquisite, save and except Forth him self, who has all along stated his conviction that he should win. At tirst he intended to ride The Exquisite; hut finding that the other was the. best, he put young Buckle upon him, and jockeyed the winner himself in a first-rate style, dis playing the most perfect knowledge of his horse, and evincing coolness and intrepidity not often found in a man past 60 years of age. He wins the sum of 20,0001. by the race, and Mr.. Gratwicke nets 2,2501. by the stakes. We do . not think that any other person wigs upon Frederick, nearly every betting loan being on Patron. The losses are heavy, especially among the Newmarket people. Rtoras.—Frederick, by Forth; Patron, by Dockeray ; The Exquisit e , b y F. Bu c kle; Prince Eugene, by Conolly ; Morris Dancer, by H.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. In a letter which we published in our journal of yesterday, warm reproaches were hurled upon a member of the Administration—a man of no great note certainly—on account of his 'canvassing for Mr. Bankes in the present contest for the Univer sity of Cambridge. These reproaches remaining unrepellea, it should seem but fair to conclude, even if we had no information on the subject, that the Government sanctions, or at least does not disap• prove of this conduct in one of its members, and that it is meant to afford a certain kind of support to Mr. Bankes. Now, if such a ecurse had been taken whilst the Catholic question hung in suspense, —if Government had at that critical periati lent its aid to secure the election of one who was opposed to their views, and resisted their operations at so important a crisis—the inference would have been undeniable that they were acting hypocritically, and that they did not wish for the success of their own measure, /But stow, what will be said of them, when, after the measure is rallied, they patronize their opponents in it ? Why, it is droll, certainly. nut we would only infer that they are of a forgiring disposition—that they don't bear ma lice ; and certainly, if their support of Mr. Bankes be as feeble and impotent (which is but just) as was his opposition to. them in the altair of the Catholic question, neither will we bear malice. The University and the public will forgive a Zeal which cannot in its nature be other than apparent and ostensible. Indeed, upon what grounds can the aid of his Majesty's Ministers be cordially afforded to Mr. Bankes 1) 'rile same ground, we answer, which Shy/ock ironically alleges for lending Antonio money— " Fair Sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last ; You spurned me such a day ; and for these courtesies ru lend yn' so much money." Sn nr..y the King's Ministers reply to Mr.Bankes— " pair Sir, you called os knaves the other d:S•; Said we were Papists, hostile to the State, Bent to subvert this happy t institution ; And for these courtesies well lend you aid !" We will not press this argument further, for ren sons which will be divined by the prudent and sa• gacious; but it is obvious that hi 3 Majesty's Minis ters (by the term Ministers, such only as are of any tmportance being meant) cannot be deeply of►:nded with those who oppose one that but yes terday heaped every term of obloquy upon them.— Certainly, they are his Majesty's Ministers still; but had the counsels of Mr. Bankes prevailed, they would have been driven from the helm months ago.-- Times. The state of the labouring population throughout the country formed the subject of discussion last night, in the House of Commons. This discussion was in some sort an episode in that on the Birming ham petition on the stagnation. It happens oddly enough, that the stagnation in France forms also part .of the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, received last night. M. Lafitte observed—" It is a melancholy consideration, Gentlemen, but industry marches in some sort only from crisis to crisis, from suffering to suffering,. The producers of corn suf fered cruelly a few years ago, and their complaints were often introduced into our political discussions. Then the proprietors of vineyards were in a more fortunate situation : their profits even contributed not a little to stimulate a production, of which the abundance has become calamitous. The times are now changed : the producers of corn receive now indemnifications for their former sufferings, while the producers of wine are suffering in their turn. — Bread having risen, the people, already impo verished from the difficulty in finding work, have consumed less wine, which has added to the dis tress of the wine cultivators."—Mr. Peel also went into several of the causes of the stagnation, and then entered on the subject of the importation of labourers from Ireland. "Few persons (he said) had attributed enough to the importation of labourers from Ireland. A greater number of Irish labourers in the manufacturing districts were out of employ than people could imagine, and tha Magistrates re lieved them rather than pass them to their parishes, reflecting that as they had contributed to the pros perity of the places, they had a right to relief when in distress. When the passage was so low, and this country possessed a legal provision for the poor, it was impossible to check the influx of Irish la bourers, and this fact would suggest important altera tions in Me state of the law." These observations paved the way for the speech of Mr. W. Horton on the superabundant population of the country. — We agree with Mr. Horton as to the evils of a po pulation greater than can be employed, but we differ from bins as to the remedy, and subscribe cordially to the remark of Mr. iluskisson, that " for the State so undertake to carry the pauper population from this country to other lands, was a step sur rounded by difficulties greater than any he seemed to contemplate. In his (Mr. H.'s) opinion, the only wise and prudent system of emigration was that in which those who emigrated, carried with them the means and the capital necessary for their em ployment. It was only the connection of property with population that could render emigration useful to this country or beneficial to the colonists." Mr. W. Horton, referring to Shipley, observed—" From that place and its immediate vicinity 250 persons had been removed to Canada, and of course, the rest of the population had been greatly relieved from the pressure of a heavy burden. It had been_ said that the project he wished to promote would inevitably fail, because the vacuum thus created would be so speedily filled up that the benefit would scarcely be felt, inasmuch as it would be so transient. At all events, that vacuum had not yet been sup plied. When people talked upon this subject, they seemed to fancy that there would be an al most immediate importation of labourers into the place thus relieved, as if they would be brought at once, in a body, from Russia, or some nearer country, where there was a superabundant popula tion." No, not from Russia; but has not Mr. W. Horton heard of a country called Ireland, and of the facilities of passage, by steam-boats, from Ireland to England ? Why the voluntary emigration from Ireland to America, from the Pro testant population of the North of Ireland, in one year lately, according to the Rev. Mr. Seymour, was 25,000 souls, and 'yet they were never missed, If the eight or nine millions ,of Irish left, as they are, to a sort of wild liberty, be suffered to go on as they have done, they would every year add a far greater number to the redundant population than could be . removed in the same space. One or two agricul tural parishes may be closed against immigrants; but the great markets of labour, all the towns, will be constantly glutted with Irish lebourers, The evil must be stept at its source. The ,Irish landlord must be enlisted as an auxiliary in the work of di minishing the supplies in the market of labour. At present he has his rent paid out of the English Poor-rates, and out of the wages of the English labourer. But we shall revert to this subject.— Morning Chgnicle. Mr. Al4rman Waithman is perplexing himself to very little purpose, with a variety of details to show that the country has been losing more and more every year by its foreign trade. In the discussion on the Birmingham petition last night, he said " they were told the foreign trade of the country - had increased to a great extent. He was in a con dition to prove it had decreased for the last thirty one years; and he found, on comparing the last eight years with the seven preceding years, that the falling off in the export trade amounted to nine millions, not of official, but of real value." We will just put oue question to Mr. Alderman Waithman respecting his official and declared values, that even he may see the utter worth lessness of these figures for any inference from them as to the value of the trade of the country. In the account to which he refers, we find the official value of the exports for the last eight years 365,033,8711., and for the seven preceding years 2 61,627,6371., while the declared value of the exports for the last eight years is 285,748,5701., and of the &even preceding years 288,772,0901. — Now, if the Worthy Alderman will turn to the column of official value of Colonial and Portigh Produce imported and retained tOr - hotlie consump tion, after deducting the quantity re-exported, he will find the amount of tile last eight years' Imports 217,989,9981., and of the seven preceding years 127,900,3021. While, therefore, the declared Vab.e of the last eight years appors ft 4 affib . titit to less than the declared '-alive df the Exports for the seven pre years 1w some millions, we find the Imports of the last eight years exceed the Imports of the seven preceding years by no less than 90,080,6961. How does Mr. Alderman Waithman think these t i 0 millions were paid for ; if the Etports produced less in the last eight years than in the seven preceding years ? Swift made the whole cash of Ireland amount only to 500,000/.—and out of this every year the Irish remitted a neat million to England ; and had no other foreign trade brit the importation of French wines ; for whia they paid ready money; and what fleorge Falconer was pushed a little hard to explain how Ireland, without foreign trade, and with only 500,000/. could find a million every year for England, he said that England drew it from the blood and bowels of Irishmen. Has this balance of 90,000,0001. been extracted from the blood and . bowels of Englishmen ? How could Englishmen have imported without exporting to a torresponding extent ? The increase in the Imports' official value proves that the increase in the Exports' official value is most. factitious. As to Spitalfields and its mann. facture, they are doomed to destruction by the transference to the North. Mr. Peel showed that the factories in Manchester had nearly doubled in number and value during the last eight years.— Ibid. The House of Commons has, we believe, been twice " counted out" during discussions on the Ecclesiastical Courts' Bill, which is a Bill not to reform any of the many. abuses in those Courts, but merely to regulate the fees. " Quocumque modo RE3t." On each of these occasions Mr. Peel has not been a little severe upon Mr. Hume for taking advantage of the thinness of the House, to postpene, and, if possible, to defeat the measure. On one of these occasions the Right Hon. Gentleman described Mr- Hume's conduct as factious ; and on another he twits him with setting up his opinion in opposition to that of the House. Of the tirst of these accusa tions the country will judge; on the second we would say a word or two. We would only glance at the apparent absurdity of talking of the opinion of the House, when, literally speaking, there is "no House" to form an opinion. But we would remind Mr. Peel that there are more ways than one of expressing an opinion. It may be done in the negative as well as the affirmative--by ab sence as strongly as by presence. Now, what must the opinion of the House be pre sumed to be, when forty Members out of six hundred will not attend to give any ? Is it not a tolerable proof either that they consider the question one unworthy offittention, or one which they are ashamed to give their sanction to ? But why should Mr. Peel, of all men, complain of the thinness of the House, or upbraid Mr. Hume with taking advantage of it ;—Mr. Peel, who is the leader of the House, and under whose influence as a Minister of the Crown, if net at whose " beck and call," so many of the Members are supposed to be? Where were the Treasury circulars, where the Treasury whipper-in, upon the occasion ? If Mr. Hume's opposition were worth being angry about, why was it not rendered nugatory by Members be ing asked, or commanded to stay, for the purpose of defeating it? The truth, we believe, is, that the Bill itself is a mere job—one of those snug jobs which we are too much in the habit of seeing smuggled through Parliament towards the close of a Session ; and Mr. Hume's offence is, not that he has opposed himself to the opinion of the House, but that he has interfered at all in a matter, on which it was desirable that no opinion should be expressed.—Alfurning Herald. THREE MORE FIRES. Yesterday morning, at half-past eight o'clock, a fire broke out in a shed belonging to a green-grocer and coal-dealer, of the name of Crestield, in Petti coat-lane, which has been attended with the loss of considerable property. The flame communicated to a row where a stable was situated, and four cows, which were within it at the time, were burned nearly to a cinder. Bannister, a turn-cock, broke an open• ing through a partition in the hope of extricating them ; but his efforts proved unavailing, owing to the animals' alarm, who, on seeing him, rushed into that part of the building which was most perilous, and where the fire raged with the greatest intensity. The supply of water was expeditious and plentiful, and the flames were extinguished at a quarter past nine. We regret to say, that, in addition to the loss of property, a person who was rendering assist ance was so severely injured by the falling of a beam of timber, us to make it necessary to remove him to the London Hospital, where he at present lies in a precarious state. The premises and stock, we understand, are insured. _ _ _ Last night, between seven and eight o'clock, a fire broke out in a chandler's shop, kept by a person named Shepherd, in Rochester-row, Westminster, close to the guard-house. The fire commenced in the attic, and was proceeding with great rapidity, when the neighbours, with fire-ladders, after getting some of the furniture out, succeeded in extinguish ing the flames. The roof of the house was consi derably damaged. Yesterday afternoon, about a quarter before two o'clock, a fire broke out at Orange-street Chapel, Orange-street, Leicester-fields, which at first threat ened destruction to the whole building. The fire was first. discovered by some passengers who were passing the chapel, and a quantity of smoke was seen issuing from a large cellar which runs under the-chapel, and which is let to Mr Asler, of Chan dos-street, for the purpose of depositing wine. The alarm was soon given, and the parish engine of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields was first on the spot, and was soon followed by the engines from the Westminster and County Fire Office. A supply of water having been obtained, the firemen played with great effect into the cellar, and by their exertions saved the whole fabric from destruction, and got it under before the building was materially damaged. Considerable damage is done to the wine in the cel lar, but. the extent at present it is almost impossible to asogrtain. The danger was greatly increased by some wood which was also in the cellar. The stock, we understand, is insured in the County Fire Office. The fire is supposed to have originated from some men who were in the cellar in the morn ing with lights, and bad dropped some sparks, which had ultimately ignited the straw, &c. THE LATE ACCIDENT IN PALL-MALL.- Yesterday afternoon, an inquest was held at the Bell pub lic-house, Pall-mall, on view of the bodies of Ifaxar GREGG and Wm. ANDREWS, who were killed in Pall mall on Wednesday evening. Mr. E. TEGART, of 39, Pall-mall, attended the deceased immediately after the ac cident, and he pronounced their death to have been occa sioned by suffixation, the contusions on their bodies not being sufficient to have caused their instant dissolution.— Thomas STOWELL, a labourer, employed at the improve ments in Pall-mall, stated that the house where the acci-" dent happened was sold by auction to a Mr. HORTON, who engaged GREGG to pull it down. About five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, witness was standing on a nine-inch wall adjoining the house, when the two de ceased persons were removing a large stone from the cornice forming the brick-work. The deceased were standing on the second floor, and the girder, which were the sole support of the floor, being very much decayed at both ends, gave way, and the deceased were precipitated into the lower part of the house. The stone also fell at the same time with the deceased. The CORONER inquired if any pre caution could have prevented the girders fiom giving way, and it was replied that no precaution could have prevented i the accident, as the girders were cmcealed by the wain scoting. The frequent accidents arising from taking down old houses were solely attributable to the labourers them selves, who were paid by the job for the work they per formed. A verdict of " Accidental Death" was then re turned, and a nominal deodand of One Shilling levied on the materials. gisOttiriNti iNIMA. (From the key Monthty Mdgazihe.) The essential quality in a hog-hunter is a good Month; without Whicit a racer would only come up to a hog to commence a series of evo lutions, like Trunnion's approaches to the church. Dogs are of no use in this sport; but we thought our greyhounds too valuable to be risked, after a very fie one had been hoisted ; and, to tell the truth, most of them had no great devotion to the business. Even our renowned Sir Du gald (so named from the titular of Drumth wacket), a wire-haired hero ; that we expected to engage all corners, cut some most extravagant capers round a hog, infinitely more indicative of his astonishment at the antagonist he was intro duced to, than of any intention he had to come , to close quarters with him. This worthy was of Arab descent, as were all our greyhounds. The English dogs have most speed : too much, in fact, while they arc well ; but their health is even more uncertain than our own. On this ground there were swarms of foxes ; and an English sportsman would not be shocked at our custom of coursing them, if he could see them. They are long, delicately formed little animals, with grey silvery coats, and hand some full brushes tipped with black. It is very pretty to come on an uninitiated one, standing half on the turn, with his little feet (tiff out, and his bright eyes shining in his sharp knowing look ing head, and to mark, as one tallies and slips at him, the momentary hesitation, and . then, as he ascertains we are coming towards him, the gallant, not to say contemptuous, flourish of his brush with which he breaks away. Even when the dogs begin to press him, he retains his confidence; and the dazzling quickness with which his glossy tip flashes in a turn or double, seems to justify it. Towards the close, however, he seems gradually to lengthen ; his brush droops almost to trailing, and his head is strained forward, as if to keep it as far as possible from the bare teeth and glaring eyes of the dogs, whose hot and gushing pants he almost feels upon hiscoat. As the business becomes hope less, he collects himself for a bite ; and though old dogs delay their pick till they can make it safely, few young ones seize without feeling to the very bone the death-set of his little teeth. We know if an earth is near, by the burst of re covered speed with which the fox takes off, and beautiful picks are often made at these moments. The dog, knowing it a last chance, makes a tre mendous bound, and catching the animal as he dives at the earth, rolls over and over with him in his mouth, from the reckless force to which he has abandoned himself. The speed of the fox is most uncertain. I once found one which, having beaten a brace of very good dogs, passed a dog-boy, who, seeing the state , of things, thought fit to slip a second, which ran him till they were knocked up also ; they were lobbing along, and losing ground every stretch, when the fox fell dead in front of them. The beauty of this sport is in the rapidity and frequency of the doubles ; but the dogs, unfortunately, soon learn to run cunning, and cut in upon them. Foxes are near most cantonments, and jackalls near all. I have sometimes mobbed the latter ; but I seldom thought their short run worth the risk of their bite. My favourite victims were the fawns. With them there is neither earthing nor squatting ; it is all fair play ; and the dogs kill, or their master gets a lesson in judging of the size of his game, which is a very essential acquirement. I have positively seen my three first-rate Arab dogs so beaten that they were fifty yards behind my horse ; aria when a lucky ledge of rocks has turned their game back upon them, and it has fallen, rather exhausted than pulled down, I have dragged it out from under or baween them without a scratch upon its skin, not one of them having strength to hurt it. Sometimes we rode at them without dogs ; but it is dreadful work for a single horse, and I have only succeeded, when alone, by forcing my horse over the fawn. A circumstance which occurred to mett owes show the sort of incident to which sport in India is liable, and to which, in my estimation, it half its charm. I galloped at a fawn that was browsing near its mother, and, as it often hap pens, my dogs laid into the doe. I, however, continued to ride after the young one, through a large herd of _antelopes, that came fast across us and carried off its mother. As we were passing through them, I hallooed to my dogs to attract them to the game I followed, and when at length I had succeeded in righting myself in my saddle (for I had necessarily turned to call them), I found two large wolves between me and the fawn, which they were running in very orthodox style. As we came up, one of them broke away from the game, and was followed by my dogs, till he slackened his pace and turned, when they, obeying my call, drew off, • and he lobbed away at a slow trot. On looking towards his com rade, I saw him running the fawn very beauti fully. Having found the first a coward, I con cluded his friend was no hero, and rode down to ' him ; but judge my surprise, when I state that he did net seem to notice either me or the dogs, but continued his pursuit, the greyhounds laying in alongside him, so that for several hundred yards this extraordinary trio might have been covered with •a spread blanket. At length the fawn tried a double on the wolf's side, and picked it up, but as I rode on him and shouted, lie dropped the game, and the dogs despatched it while lie stood looking on, about twenty yards before us. - I shall never forget irhen he saw me dismount and pick up the faWn—cock ing his ear, and laying his head on one side, as if he was considering what was to be done ; but he seemed fully to have made up his mind by the time I had remounted, as lie proceeded to make serious demonstrations of his intention to eat a dog. I had no arms, and co uld only keep him off by riding at him, an d sh o uting, which made him retire till I turned, when be would recommence his approaches. I had several ofthese bullying advances to make before my people rejoined me ; but the moment I seized myrifle he went off at speed. It was lucky the first left us, as well as that the wolf picked ; for had they continued together, or had my dogs seized the fawn first, I think one or both of them would inevitably have been killed. This was not the only time I found these rascals poaching. One morning a hare was so pressed by me, that it al most ran under my horse's nose, and the wolf brought up within about thirty yards, and scoured off when I prepared to fire. lat once saw seven make an inburst on a herd of antelopes, but without success. These animals lob on—l know no term so expressive- of their gait—at a sort of canter, which they can increase to a de gree that has baffled every attempt I have seen made to touch them. ne must have been use ful auxiliaries to them, as the wounded deer be came their sure prey. Chief Justice BEST, besides his judicial pen sion, is to receive, it is said, 4000/. a year as Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. tOPIIOI4 INTELLIGENCE-, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazettt de Prance, June S.) PA is, JUNE de Palmella left Paris the day before yesterday, to return to London, from which place it is said that he will proceed to the island of Terceira, where he will establish a Re gency in the name of Donna Maria Gloria. It is very probable that M. de Palmella will go from the island of Terceira to Brazil, according to instructions which he is to receive at London front the Queen Donna Maria and Count de Barbacena. The Journal du Commerce says that the measure of establishing a Regency in Terceira is said to be approved by the Cabinets of France and England— and that a Convention on the subject has been signed by the two Courts. The Monileur of to-day contains, in the official part, an Ordinance of the King relative to the orga nization of the general Staff, in fortified places. Yesterday, on Change, a list of Ministers was cir culated, which an intrigue would put in the place of the present Ministry. In this list we find two Mi nisters of War, and two of Finance, doubtless to rea- lize the plan announced by the Journal des Debats, of raising the number of Secretaries of State to fotw teen, as in England. (From the Journal du Commerce of Mond y. ) PARIS, JUNE I.—Letters from Madrid announce that the inscription of 80 millions has been placed in the hands of M. St. Priest, our Ambassador at Madrid, in conformity with the Treaty signed on the 30th Dec. last, in that capital. These letters add, that the Spanish Government has placed at the disposal of its banker in Paris, all the quicksilver at Seville and Almaden, which amounts to 20,000 quintals, in order to meet the payments of the interest for the first half-year. There have been various other accounts of the manner in which this quicksilver was to be em ployed. We shall see whether the present account is correct. We were unfortunately correct when we an nounced on the 2d ult. that the next average price of corn would probably shew a rise, the table fixing the prices of corn published by the Minister of the Interior, states the general average of all France at 24f. 50c. per hectolitre for wheat. Last month the price was 22f. 45c. The data on which the price is founded, are up to the 15th May. Since that time prices have fallen in many places, and as the appearance of the harvest is in general good, we may flatter ourselves that the next average price will be more satisfactory than that which we new publish.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, MAY 50. WARSAW, MAY 26.---The' campaign on the Danube has commenced with the investment of the important fortress of Silistria, which has been exe cuted with equal energy and success. " The head-quarters were removed some time ago to Czernowodv, Count Diebitsch having collected many troops there, advanced on the 13th May at the head of 21 battalinns, 16 squadrons of cavalry, and some regiments of Cossacks, by way of Kuz goun towards Silistria. The great road by way of Rasserat was still under water, in consequence of the overflowing of the Danube, and the troops had difficulties of all kinds to overcome Li consequence of the badness of the roads, but the idea of marching against the enemy caused them to bear all hardships with the greatest zeal. " On the 17th of May, at three o'clock in the morning, the corps reached the village of Almalui, five wersts from Silistria, without having fallen in with the enemy on their march. Here the Com inander-in-Chiefdi vided his corps into three columns: the right under Lieut.-General Bartholomey, the centre under Major-General Laschkiewitch, and the left under Lieut.-General krassowsky. The first fell in with the enemy, about 5,000 strong, who occupied some entrenchments which were erected last year, two wersts from Silistria. A brisk attack made by a regiment of Cossacks, tinder the eye of the Commander-in-Chief, upon a mass of Turkish cavalry posted upon the heights, was the signal for a general battle. The infantry, which quickly fol lowed, attacked with equal zeal ; the enemy . was broken, and, in less than a quarter of an hour, driven from all the works which he occupied on that point: the centre column followed this example, but the left column met with greater resistance ; and, as it had a longer march to make, it did not wive till two o'clock in the afternoon. General krassowsky having given his troops an hour's rest, led them against two strong redoubts which were advanta geously situated, and which were taken in a mo ment. The Turks, who were driven back at every point, now thought of only getting back into the fort ress. " Our flotilla on the Danube, commanded by Rear-Admiral Patiniotti, supported these move ments, so that the investment of the very extensive fortress of Silistria was not only effected in a single day, but the troops advanced within the distance of cannot shot of the walls. In the following night our Cossacks took a Turkish courier, sent by the Paella of Silistria to the Grand Vizier at Shurnla, to inform him of the investment of the place, and earnestly begging assistance. " The loss of the enemy on the 17th May, may be about 400 or 500 men killed and wounded ; ours is about 150 men killed and wounded. The bridge built at Kalarasch, the completion of which was delayed by the overflowing of the river, will be finished in two or three days, and as well as the bridge at Ilirsowra, will facilitate the com munication with the left bank of the Danube. The communication of the besieging corps with Bazard jik, Kosludgi, and Pravadi, are fully secured, and the detachments sent put to scour the country have only met with a few straggling panics of the enemy.

MOTIVES OP SIR. WALTER SCOTT FOR NO2 ACKNOWLEDGING 11131sELF THE AUTHOR OF THE WAVERLI NOVELS. We extract the following highly interesting passage from Sir Walter Scott's preface to his collection of the Waverley Novels. He is speak ing of the reasons why he kept his authorship of these admirable Works concealed :-- " I am sorry (he says) I can give little satis faction to queries on this subject. I have al ready stated elsewhere that I can render little better reason for choosing to remain anonymous than by saying, with Shylock, that such was my humour. It will be observed that I had not the usual stimulus fur desiring personal reputation, the desire, namely, to float amidst the conversa- ion of men. Of literary fame, whether merited or undeserved. I had already as much as might have contented a mind more ambitious than mine ; and, in entering into this new contest for reputation, I might be said rather to endanger what I had than to have any considerable chance of acquiring more. I was affected, too, by none of those motives, which, at an earlier period Of my life, would doubtless have operated upon me. My friendships were formed—my place in society fixed--my life had attained its middle course. My condition in society was higher, perhaps, than 1 deserved, certainly as high as I wished, and there was scarce any degree of literary success which could have greatly altered or improved my personal condition. - I was not, therefore, touched by the spur of ambition, usually stithulating on such occasions ; and yet I ought to stand exculpated from the charge of ungracious or unbecoming indifference to public applause. I did not the less feel gratitude for the public favour, although I did not proclaim it— as the lover who wears his mistress's favour is his bosom, is as proud, though not so vain of possessing it, as another who dis plays the token of her grace upon his bon net. Far from such an ungracious state of mind, I have seldom felt more satisfaction than when returning from a pleasure voyage, 1 found Wa verley in the zenith of popularity, and public curiosity in full cry after the name of the author. The knowledge that I had the public approba tion, was like having the property of a hidden treasure, not less gratifying to the owner than if all the world knew that it was his own. Another advantage was connected with the secrecy which I observed. I could appear or retreat from the stage at pleasure, without attracting any personal notice or attention, other than what might be founded on suspicion only. In my own person, also, as a successful author in ano ther department of literature, I might have been charged with too frequent intrusions on the public patience ; but the author of Waverley was in this respect as impassible to the critic as the ghost of Hamlet to the partizan of Marcellus. Perhaps the curiosity of the public, irritated by the exist ence of a secret, and kept afloat by the discus sions which took place on the subject from time to time, went a good way to maintain an un, abated interest in these frequent publications. There was a mystery concerning the author, which each new novel was expected to assist in unravelling, although it might in other respects rank lower than its predecessors. I may perhaps be thought guilty of affectation, should I allege as one reason of my silence, a secret dislike to enter on personal discussions concerning my own literary labours. It is in every case a dangerous intercourse for an author to be dwelling con tinually among those who make his writings. a frequent and familiar subject of conversation, but who must necessarily be partial judges of ' works composed in their own society. The habits of self importance, which are thus acquired by authors, are highly injurious to a well-regu lated mind ; for the cup of flattery, if it does not, like that of Circe, reduce mere to the level of beasts, is sure, if eagerly drained, to bring the best and the ablest down to that of fools. This risk was in some degree pre vented by the mask which I wore ; and my own stores of self-conceit were left to their natural course, without being enhanced by the partiality of friends, or adulation of flatterers. If I am asked further reasons for the conduct I have long observed, I can only resort to the explanation supplied by a critic as friendly as he is intelligent, namely, that the mental organization of the no velist must be characterised, to speak craniolo gically, by an extraordinary developement of the passion for delitescency ! I the rather suspect some natural disposition of this kind ; for, from the instant I perceived the extreme curiosity ma nifested on the subject, I felt a secret satisfac tion in baffling it, for which, when its unim portance is considered, I do not well know how to account. My desire to remain concealed, in the character of the author of these novels, sub jected me occasionally to awkward embarrass ments, as it sometimes happened that those who were sufficiently intimate with me would put the question in direct terms. In this case, only one of three courses could be followed. Either I must have surrendered my secret—or have re turned an equivocating answer —or, finally, must have stoutly and boldly denied the fact. The first was a sacrifice which I conceive no one had a right to force from me, since I alone was con cerned in the matter. The alternative of ren- dering a doubful answer must have left me open to the degrading suspicion that I was not wil ling to assume the merit cif tlkere was any) which I dared not absolutely lay claim to ; or those who might think more justly of me, must have received such an equivocal answer as an indirect avowal. I therefore consider myself entitled, like an accused person put upon trial, to refuse giving my own evidence to my own conviction, and flatly to deny all that could not be proved against me. At the same time I usually quali fied my denial by stating that, had I been the author of these works, I would have felt myself quite entitled to protect my secret by refusing my own evidence when it was asked for to accomplish a discovery of what I desired to conceal. The real truth is, that I never expected ' or hoped to disguise my connection with these novels from any one who lived on terms of in-' titnacy with me. The number of coincidences which necessarily existed between narratives re counted, modes of expression, and opinions broached in these Tales, and such as were used by their author in the intercourse of private life, must have been far too great to permit any of my familiar acquaintances to doubt the identity betwixt their friend and the author of Waverlev ; and I believe they were all morally convinced of it. But while I was myself silent, their belief eould not weigh much mere with the world than that of others ; their opinions and reasoning were liable to be taxed with partiality, or con fronted with opposing arguments and opinions ; and the question was not so much, whether I should be generally acknowledged to be the author, in spite of my own denial, as whether even my own avowal of the works, if such should I tut & be made,..wadd sufficieNt put me in puted possession of that character." - I - In the remaining portion of this inter e paper, Sir Walter refers to the rumours ton his brother, Mr. Thomas Scott,. of the regiment, who had once entertained 3 ilw"" tion of entering upon a similar field of liter f but who never had the least connezion.wit h refor g ' Waverley Novels.

Counittee-room Friday, Feb 27 1829 . of this or any other description. (Hear, hear.) When the other great measure now in contemplation shall be carris•d into effect, the: result will be most salittary—will be the means of securing the glory, the tranquillity, and safety of the empire. So mulch for the measures proposed for uniting the two kingdoms in bonds of peace and amity. I have now to make a few remarks respecting the course pursued by the Noble Lord (the Earl of Longford) the other night, and the charge which he brought forward in my absence against the Officers of the Crown. It was no light charge against a imblie officer, against amm holding a responsible and difficult situation, to say that he had neglected his duty in framing a law for the suppression of a society dangerous to the Constitution, and in con structing it in suer a way as to render it incapable of exe cution. This was no light charge, and therefore I shall be excusable if I consider it my duty to rebut, in the strongest ;ind most decided manner, a charge so unjust and so un foUnded. I will recall to the recollection of the Noble Lord the circumstances under which the Bill was brought forward, and the result of its operation in Ireland, and pledge myself to prove, to the satisfaction of every reasonable and impartial man, that the charge which he has brought against me is not only unfoundel but unwarranted• In the year 1824 the state of the Homan Catholic Association was such as could not escape the vigilance of the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern anent, akd he vpplied his exertions with mine to find out somPlMans of putting down that or any other association so dangerous to the security of the State. It was not, however, found expedient to do any thing in 1824. Be- the Noble Lord as a disappointed prophet and a defeated politician.—(A laugh.)—But what was the effect of the measures which the Noble Lord insists shonhi have been carried into effect against the Association ? At the general election in 1826 it appeared, beyond all doubt, that the people in that country were bonrid together by a general sympathy for their common sufferings—they joined in union with the leaders of the Association, who, by their activity and perseverance, and determined conduct, identiLd themselves with the people of Ireland— took the people out of the hands of the law, and destroyed those boundal ies between the landlord and the tenant which it is desirable, and indeed, necessary, should be kept. The prophecy made in 1825 was completely falsified. The landlords were placed in opposition to the peasantry—the landlords were put down, and the state of society com pletely broken up. This was the result of the election of 1826, and ought to be an awful lesson, to be read by every person who thinks it his day to persist in opposing the just rights and feelings of the great body of the people. (Pith regard to the charge made by the Noble Lord, that I neglected my duty. in not introducing a more rigorous Bill, and in not carrying the Bill into execution, I deny that I ant, in one way or another, responsible. I will state what occurred on the occasion, and in doing so I am sure that I violated no confidence. 1 thought it my duty, as Attorney-General, to call the attention of the Government to the state of the Association when the measures pursued were so dangerous to the public peace. I stated what I thought to be the law on the question, and gave it, as my candid - and explicit opinion, that there would he great dif ficulty in carrying the law into effect. I stated that the question might be raised before a Jury, but if brought be fore a Jury, and even the most honest Jury, differing, as might be expected on this question, there was great risk that the Government might be defeated. I have still however, another point to settle with the Noble Lord who has made such an attack on me during my absence for neglecting my duty. Does he think that it was the duty of the Attorney-General to institute a prosecu tion, by some means or other, against a body which had - . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. liberty of making these replies to the attacks which the .Noble Lord has made against me, and I trust that he is convinced that I am not so much to blame as lie has insi nuated, and that there is also a little defect on his part in bringing Corr/ant such an accusation. The truth is, the Noble Lord has skimmed lightly along the surface, with- Mit at all entering into the nature of the question,--and it he *oak' consult an Hon. Relation of his own,--a Gallant Admiral who had served his country with such honour and success, that gallant Officer would tell him that he cal ries too much sail; that he has too little ballast, and would be the better for a little mote discretion at the head. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Lord ROLLE presented petitions against further conces sions to the Roman Catholics, from the Protestant inhabi tants of a hundred in the eastern part of the county of Devon, from the town of Bideford, and other parishes in the county. The Earl of LIMERICK presented a petition from the inhabitants of Sidmouth and its vicinity, praying for the removal of all disabilities on account of religions opinions. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, when presenting a pe tition from the Roman Catholics of the parish of Down, praying the repeal of the Vestry and Sub-letting Act, said ►hat, with respect to the prayer as regarded the Sub-letting Act, he could not altogether agree with the petitioners. There were portions of the Aot which he thought might be modified with advantage. DANGEROUS ASSOCIATION BILL. THMPSON, MAYOR.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented petitions, pray ing the removal of disabilities on account of religious opi nions, from the Roman Catholics of St. Peter's parish in the city of Cork ; certain parishes in Wexford and Louth, in all eight petitions.

' "!!! .. ......n.rnr.nernamwev.mmwmmowerevww.mos th eq v u l : c°4nt Melville, the Chancellor of the Ex hut r, s►r George Clerk, and Sir George Cockburn, the i l ft ,„ e terl jtvve yesterday with ' the Duke of Wellington, at The Marquis of ANGLESEA said that he had a peti tion in his hand to present, one of the most important that had yet been presented to their Lordships, which was signed on the 26th of January last, and the prayer was for emancipation to the Roman Catholics. The petition itself was grounded on two foundations ; the first rested on the resolutions of the 69 Peers, in the year 1825, and the second was founded on that paper known by the name of the Protestant Declaration. The paper was signed by more men of wealth, of talent, and of high respectability, connected with that country, than probably any other paper which ever was published: The petition was one of such a nature that he would beg to have it read. It spoke for itself. The petition was not signed by all the parties who had signed the paper on which it was founded. The document upon which the petition was founded was signed by two Dukes, seven Alarquisses, 26 Earls, 11 Viscounts, two Counts, 22 Barons, 52 Members of the House of Commons, and upwards of two thousand Gentlemen of rank and respectability, who were interested in the safety aad security of the country. He felt every moment that he took up their Lordships' time before he read the peti tion would be lost, for the language it conveyed was so truly apt and proper, that he could not hope to convey the sentiments in language of his own equal to what the petition set forth. A conversation now followed, respecting the regularity or irregularity of any Noble Lord reading a petition as part of a speech, in whicletord Ellenborough, Earl Darn , ley, and - Lord Plunket, took a part. The latter Nobleman said (and in this the other Noble Lords concurred) that, according to the rules of the House, there could be no ob jection for the Noble Marquis to state, as his speech, and at any length, the words of the petition. The Marquis of ANGLESEA then read the whole of the petition, after saying—.." I will read it as part of my speech, my Lords, and I wish to God that it was my own language." At the conclusion the Noble Marquis ;moved that the petition do lie on the table. On the question being put by the Loan CHANCELLOR, The Marquis of LOND ON6ERRY rose.—My Lords, I congratulate the House—l congratulate the country— and, above all, I congratulate the Noble Marquis who has just addressed your Lordships, that he should now come down to the Hooke and make so honourable and manly a declaration of his sentiments on this important subject ; a declaration showing the great change in his sentiments since he went to preside over that country. My Lords, I admire the high moral character of the Noble Mar quis—l admire his honourable feelings—and I appre ciate his military knowledge ; but I own, in his politica career, he has pursued a course of conduct which, in my humble judgment, is very remarkable, connected with the coutse that he had, up to the period to which I have allud ed, adopted. If the Noble Marquis supposes that the sen timents which he has lately expressed connected with the proceedings for the suppression of the Catholic Associa tion—if he believes, I say, that he was speaking the senti ments and feelings of tire Catholics of Ireland, I beg to aid that, to the correctness of that notion, I can never sub scribe ; for I believe, my Lords, that there was no wish— not only in Ireland, but in England also—on the part of the people to arrest the Bill in its passage which, a day or two back, received your lordships' concurrence. I believe my Lords, that there is not one Member in this House— , nor one person in the country—who would wish to say " Not content" to that Bill. The only thing that can save the country from a repetition of those evils which have so long afflicted Ireland is to pass such a Bill. By such means a law will he established which will prevent any meeting like that to which I have alluded from being again formed. I have lately seen in the newspapers that they will still assemble, and that they will not rest satis fied. Those expressions, my Lords, have really given me considerable uneasiness and concern. I am sorry to hear the Noble Marquis speak as be has done on the subject. I look upon. the existence of these meetings, my Lords, as most disastrous and fatal things to the peace and harmony of the country )—lf 1 have expressed myself stongly on this point, I have done so because I feel deeply the importance attached to the subject. lam satisfied that, from one end of Ireland to the other, there is a general feeling of satisfaction at the Bill on the part of those whose principles are in favour of the Roman Catholics possessing all the civil rights to which they are entitled. There is not one man, firm in these principles, who does not hail with satisfaction and delight the Bill which passed your Lordships' House on Tuesday, the ob ject of which is, to put an end for ever to one of the most mischievous Associations, and, I may say, one of the most unfortunate, that ever existed for Ireland.—(Cheers.) The Marquis of ANGLESEA—I will detain your Lordships but very few moments. Ti, Noble Marquis who has just sat down, like almost every other person, has totally mistaken me ox the subject to which he has referred.—(Hear, hear.)—l beg to say, my Lords, that there is ino man less friendly than I am to the Catholic Association. - No one more closely watched their pro ceedings, when 1 had the honour of being in that country—no one watches! with more anxiety to put his finger upon any breach of the laws than I (lid ; and, if they had disobeyed the laws, no one was more desirous than I was of putting them down. My attention, my Lords, was called to their proceedings—the attention of the Law- 0111- cers of the Crown was likewise attracted to what was going forward—not a debate occurred at which there were net short-hand writers employed by Government—every dis -1 cussion was the subject of close investigation, in order to discover whether any transgression of the laws occurred.— I maintain, my Lords, and I wish to have it understood, that, if there had been any violation of the Statutes, that I wished to disperse that body ; and I now appeal to his Ma jesty's Ministers whether I am not stating that which is correct. If the laws had been infringed, I should hive had no difficulty in acting, and putting down that Asso ciation. The truth is, that no opportunity of noticing that Assembly was omitted. The time will come, my Lords, when I shall have an opportunity of explaining myself respecting the part that I took when I was in that country, but I cannot now allow any thing of a personal description (as far as I am myself concerned) to he brought forward, list by any possibility it might throw an impe diment in the way of completing that important measure which his Majesty's Ministers have in contemplation.— (Cheers.)—My Lords, if I were now at the head of the Government in Ireland, and if I were sure that it was the determination of his Majesty's Ministers not to pass a Bill of relief (if any thing could have tempted me to have re mained in the situation which I had the honour of holding) if, after this present Bill bad passed, I had been assured that no Bill of relief would be passed, I should have im plored Ministers (as we understood) to let m' Much as I dissapprove of the Association, I would ten thousand times rather that the same body of men remained undisturbed in open Court, with our short-hand writers taking down every word they uttered, than that a discon tented body—and justly discontented body—should be dis persed over the face- of the empire, if no Bill of relief should follow.—(Cheers )—I du not believe that there is in the House any Noble Lord who can deny that the situa tion of the country requires a measure of relief. There is nu man who can deny that a large majority in the country believe that the measure would be for the benefit of all. I believe, however, my Lords, that no measure of relief would have been proposed had it not been for the exer- , tions of the Catholic Association.—( Hear, hear.) I con demn many acts of the Association ; they have been vio lent, they have been personal—unjustly personal and abu sive; they have done all this—yet, let them be ever so personal and vio;ent in their proceedings, they have effect ed much—they have accomplished great things, fur they have certainly brought the Catholic Question to the state in which it now is.—( Hear.) I say, my Lords, had the Association never existed, the Catholic Question would not have advanced to the station which it now occupies.— (Hear.) On a future occasion I shall have an opportunity of explaining the course I took in the administration of affairs when I had the honour of holding the situation that I held in Ireland. I shall lay before your Lordships a simple statement of facts, and, I trust, to the satisfaction of the House ; but at present I refrain, lest it might tend to impede the progress of the measure which is about to be brought before your Lordships. Earl DARNLEY wished to say a few words. It was far from his intention to throw, directly or indirectly, any thing in the shape of impediment on the measure which the Noble Duke and the Administration had i❑ contem plation. If Noble Lords thought that no one would have said " Not content" to the Bill which had just passed, provided no measure of relief was intended to follow, they deceived themselves.—(Cheers.)—Much as he had to re gret in the proceedings of the Catholic Association, much as Noble Lords had spoken against it, yet, from the exer tions which. that body had given to their cause, nobody could doubt that they had advanced it. It had been as serted—but he begged leave to deny the accuracy of the remark—that the Association had retarded their cause in the opinions of the people of this country.—(clear, hear.) —He was fully satisfied that the Catholic Association had done infinitely more good than evil, and would contend that, bad the Association never existed, Ireland would have been in a much worse condition than it was at the present moment. The best and most effectual way to put an cud to the Association would have been to have allowed the claims long ago ; and he now trusted that no improper appeal to the feelings of the people would prevent the Noble Duke from carrying into effect a mea sure so well calculated to produce peace and unanimity in Ireland. Lord GOSFORD observed that he certainly should have said " Not content" to the Bill which had just passed, if he had not believed that a Relief Bill would follow. Under any other circumstances, he should not have sanctioned that Bill.—(Hear.).—lt was the price that was paid for one of the greatest measures ever produce! in this country —a meAure which he was persuaded would bring peace to Ireland. Several Noble Lords, after Lord Gosford sat down, called on Lord PLUNKET. His Lordship then rose, and spoke nearly as follows:—Nay Lords, I should not have thought it necessary to take any part in the discussion which has arisen in consequence of the petition which the Noble Marquis has presented to your Lordships from the Protestant Noblemen and Gentlemen of Ireland. I should not have risen to take any part in this discussion, I say, my Lords, if it had not happened that I have been so very particularly alluded to by the Noble Lord on the cross bench, on a former evening, and had not my conduct been so severely commented upon, in respect of the part that I took in the situation which I had the honour of hoLling. My Lords, I think I owe it to myself not to let pass those observations without making sonic remarks. I own, my Lords, that I was the more surprised at the observations which fell from the Noble Lord in my absence, as I had been present in this House, I believe, on the day preced ing, when a discussion took place with respect to the As sociation. Being then present, and the Noble Lord being also is the House, I was ready to answer any charge which might be brought against me ; but the Noble Lord did not then attribute any negligence in the persons who formed that Bill (the Unlawful Association Bill of 1825), nor any neglect in the persons who formed •the Go_ vernment iu putting it into execution. It Was, therefore, some surprise to me, on the following night, to find that the Noble Lord had made those very severe, and I will take the liberty of calling them those unjust observations, which he did not think necessary to make in the course of the discussion at which 1 was present. My Lords, before I proceed more particularly to animadvert on what has fallen from the Noble-Lord, I beg leave to say a few words on the present Bill which has passed your Lordships' House. lam not sure that 1 agree in my view of the necessity of passing it, for any of the reasons which have been urged by Noble Lords who have spoken on the subject, although I entirely agree with the measure for the suppression of the Catholic Association. (Mean.)—l think the measure is necessary fur public tran quillity. But although necessary for public tranquillity, yet the principles in which I concur in passing the Bill, are not exactly those which have swayed others—vie., that it is necessary to pass it for the purposes of safety. I asu satisfied ; from the great measure which is to be intro duced, that it never will be necessary to act upon this Bill. (Hear, hear.)—Nevertheless, I think it right that this Bill should be passA, as it will prevent the possibility of the revival of that Association.—( Hear.) The views that I have taken are views not exactly the same that others entertain. I do not think, as some Noble Lords have stated, that the Catholic Association has led to any dis turbances, or any breach of the public peace. Ido not think that any such object was intended by the Associa tion; nor any revolutionary motives at the bottom of their proceedings. The object is of a different kind. My Loids, in consequence of a feeling of a common grievance which has annoyed all ranks of the people of Ireland, the people—in pursuit of a common object, the relief from that grievance—have allowed, by a necessary course of things, a body to have au ascendancy to wield the energies of the State, which ascendancy has lucre ised with the wants of the people. The body had grown to a condition in which the original foundations of Govern ment were usurped. They had the people in Ireland at their command. They could mould them as they pleased, they could make them subservient to their own purposes, be they good or.be they bad. Such a state of things I be lieve to be incompatible with the safety of the State, and I concur with Noble Lords' that it is essential to have the accompanying measure. When that measure is passed, this Bill will never be required to be enforced. I take the measure as an accompanying measure, and 1 do most sin cerely return my thanks to the Noble Duke who has brought it forward. I think it essential to the public safety. We cannot but perceive that the Association has exercised a power and authority seldom or never witness ed. They have exercised a degree of despotism never ex perienced in the annals of history—a despotism over public opinion, of which no parallel can be found..—(Hear.) — They have, it is true, now voluntarily dissolved themselves. I give them credit for it, and I think it shows that they are grateful for the measure which was announced from the Throne. It would be ungracious, to say the least of it, but I will not suppose it of them, to attempt to avoid the laws. But I know, from my observations of human nature, that no persons ever relinquished power and re turned to all the privity and obscurity of private life in a state of complete contentment and satisfaction. I think it very likely indeed the persons over whom they ruled may partake, in some degree, of those feelings of disap pointment, and some little dissatisfaction may be ex perienced on both sides. The one party will pro bably feel a degree of disappintment, when the power which they had acquired by agitation and perseverance shall comparatively be taken from them, and not be highly gratified at the indifference with which their claims at last have been allowed. The other party will be still more disappointed. Many persons of that class had formed too high views of the rights and privileges which they claimed exclusively as their own, and will be higlily mortified to find that Catholics and Protestants are now to be placed on nearly the same foot ing. Difficulties, it must be expected, will arise, and a measure such as that now passed, therefore, is absolutely necessary—not, I will say, for putting down exclusively the Catholic Association, but for arming the Government with power to subdue and Suppress all illegal associations, tween 1824 and 1i525 the Catholic Association had as sumed such a tone and was pursuing such a line of pro ceeding as to become an object of alarm to the Govern ment of the country ; and, under these circumstances, those at the head of the Government found it necessary to resolve on some measure for suppressing the Associa tion. I, as Attorney-General for Ireland, was requested to lend my assistance in drawing up a Bill to that effect. A Bill was accordingly drawn up, which I never looked upon as a legitimate measure, and which I should not have given my consent to but in the expectation that some ulterior proceedings for the removal of Catholic disabilities would be brought forward. And here I must be allowed to appeal whether I did not, in the other House, on bringing forward the Bill, state, distinctly and unequivocally, that it ought to be followed by the other measure so essential for the peace and well-being of the country, on the strength of which I supported that Bill? In preparing the Bill I was assisted by the then Attorney-General of England, the Noble Lord now on the Woolsack, and by the present Chancellor of the Ex chequer, then Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant. My Noble Friend and myself were not called upon to frame a Bill such as would please the taste of the Noble Lord who has so unjustly arraigned my conduct. We were not called upon to frame a Bill that would put down public meet ings lawfully assembled for the redress of grievances and oppression, or .other institutions for promoting education or other useful purposes. I would have scorned to lend my aid in framing a Bill to put down any. society which was lawfully assembled for the redress of grievances. The Bill was passed, but the grievances remained. The so ciety continued its sitting with little or no alteration, and persisted in asserting their right to assemble for the redress of public grievances. It was lawful for them to do so ; their sittings were continued from time to time, for the purpose of affording fair and free discussion on all ques tions respecting the disabilities under which they laboured —as well as for the purpose of identifying themselves with the great body of the people, and representing their senti ments and feelings to the world. They did not claim this representation as a right, but, by uniting their interests with those of all the Irish Catholics, by boldly insisting on the redress of all grievances which affected any class of society, they attained their object, and it seas only natural that they should. They, in fact, became the representatives of the people, and brought about a state of things which certainly was unconstitutional, and contrary to the estab lished law of the land, which allows no representatives of the people but those lawfully representing them in Parlia ment. Were the framers of this Bill to blame for this ? Were they to be reproached for not adopting a stronger mea sure, and infringing on one of the most undoubted rights of the subject? They were directed to provide some remedy against the continuation of the society, but they were not direct ed, nor would it have been their duty, to draw up a Bill which would have put down other associations a-sernbled for lawful and useful purposes. This measure, which the Noble Lord has co much arraigned, but which he consi dered so necessary for the safety of the country, passed both Houses of Parliament. The Noble Duke who has had the honour and pride of now recommending a satis fictory settlement of the question will excuse me if I say that, in his speech the other night, he seemed to labour under some degree of error respecting the exceptions con tained in the Bill. These exceptions included religious worship, education, manufactures, &c. These, however, the Noble Duke will permit me to say, were not the causes which prevented the putting down of the Association.— Nor was it owing to them that the me•nbers sheltered themselves from the defects of the law. This arose from a different cause, and any man who has attended to the question, who has witnessed the difference of opinion in the House of Gmunons, and the divided sentiments of the Ca binet on this question, lutist be convinced that these excep tions alone did not form a pretence for evading the law.— This measure passed both Houses of Parliament with great majorities, but it passed, I must be permitted to say, in the belief that other measures were in contemplation; and, accordingly, in tha House of Commons, a Bill was brought in fir the purpose of granting relief to the Ro man Catholics—a Bill not, perhaps, exactly the same as that which is about to be introduced, with such general satisfaction, but in principle, probably, not very different. The prospects held out by this new measure were so satis factory, that I had no wish to offer any opposition to what preceded it. Another important change was to have been produced by that Bill—l mean the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders. That measure was op posed, as might naturally be expected. It was a measure, no doubt, most ungracious to Englishmen ; but he sup ported it on the understanding, or rather the firm belief that another measure, so necessary to the peace of Ireland, as well as the welfare of this country, was to be carried into effect. That measure, unfortunately, was thrown out in this House; and, but for the rejection of the Bill for the relief of the Catholics, I have no hesitation in saying that the clause for the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders would, by this time, have been submitted to cheerfully by the Irish people. Whether I shall agree to it now or not I shall not say : but this I declare, that I will not subscribe to it by itself, if unaccompanied by the other great and necessary measure, the removal of Catholic dis abilities. A glorious and golden opportunity for effecting this change in the representation of Ireland has been lost— and, but for the opposition to the Bill of Emancipation, and the hostility to the measure shown by the Noble Lord, and those who join with him, we should not have wit nessed the scenes of disturbance and violence which have since occurred. 11Iy observations, however, are chiefly directed to the Noble Lord who complained that the Law Officers of the Crown had not done their duty. Did the duty of suppressing the Association devolve on these indi viduals?—(Hear, from Lord Longford.)—The Noble Lord has always opposed any Bill for the relief of the Catholics. __("Always," from Lord Longford)—and he has opposed all concession, till the forty-shilling freeholders rose up against him. The Noble Lord had prophesied on the oc casion, or rather on the prospect of a new election for a county where he had great influence—l will nut trust to nay own recollection on this subject, but refer to published documents for statements which I think any prudent man would have refrained from making ; the event exemplifies the truth of my observation.— The Noble Lord had become prophet, and an nounced that those who should start for the county, and at the same time advocate the question of Emancipation, would be utterly disappointed. An Hon. Relative of the Noble Lord, who had often conducted himself with such credit in the other House, with a degree of feeling and taste which reflected on him great credit, stood for the county. It appeared that the relative of the Noble Lord, trusting to his prophecy, had offered himself for a place where his Lordship had such influence, and, without at all taking into account the power and firmness of the forty shilling.freeholders, had attempted to carry his election without regard to their wishes: The candidate was sup ported by the Noble Lord—l beg his I ordship's pardon, it is unconstitutional for a Peer to take any interest, or lend his support, for the purpose of returning any Member to the House of Commons ; but, however, the candidate, I may be allowed to say, was in his interest, and what was the result? He was repudiated from the hustings by a vast majority of the people of the county. So much for identified itself with the people of Ireland ? Was that al question for the decision of the Attorney- General? Does the Noble Lord think that the Attorney-General was to sit down and draw up an indictment against nearly the whole population of Ireland ?—(1-lear.)—I am confident that the course pursued was the best, and that the' Noble Lord is not entitled to c tat blame on me or any Officer of the Crown for the course pursued. This was the course which I pursued from 1825 to 1827, when his Majesty • was graciously pleased to appoint me to the situation which I now hold, and since that time I have not had any occa sion, as an Officer of the Crown, to take any measures to carry the Act i❑to effect. If the law was ineffectual, the fault did not lie with those who framed it, nor with those who, bn public grounds of expediency, did not consider it their duty to bring the case before a Jury. These were the grounds on which I acted after the passing of the Bill of 1825. I considered that the great body of the people were labouring under common grievances, that they had identified themselves with the Catholic Association, and that it was and duty, as Attorney-General, rather to re commend the redress of these grievances than to attempt, at the almost certain risk of defeat, to bring the question to decision before a Jury. The Noble Lord, who does not seem satisfied with the honour which he had acquired as a prophet and a politician, has taken upon him to protest against the measures of Government, has charged the Crown Officers with neglect of duty, and blamed them for not taking effectual measures for putting down the Asso ciation—came forward to assist the Government by the establishment of Brunswick Clubs. God protect the Go vernment from such assistance ! The Noble Marquis who was lately at the head of the Government in Ireland had no need of assistance—nor was there, during his administra tion, any one period when the Lord Lieutenant could have had the least difficulty in putting down the Association if he had judged it prudent, or just, or expedient to do so. The Noble Lord had made allu sion, on a former occasion, to breaches of the peace, to riots and disturb:ince, caused by this Association. Now, I declare that, with the exception of two instances, there has not been a threat—much less an attempt—to create dis turbance.—(hear, hear.)—One of these instances occurred during the administration of the Marquis Wellesley, and the other during that of the N ,ble Marquis who was lately at the head of the Government in Ireland. Orders were issued for simultaneous Meetings—Proclamations were issued by the Lord Lieutenants to prevent such Meetings, and the result was, that these assemblages of the people were effectually prevented. But the Noble Lord thinks that the Government is highly culpable for not putting down the Association at once, and thereby prevent all risk of disturbing the public peace. The Association, no doubt, was dangerous to the Government of the country, and I am glad that a law has been passed to put it down. I certainiy had no favour from the Catholic Association. No man has been more impartially abused than I have bee❑ repeatedly in that assembly. When it was in its full vigour I never withheld my expressions of disap- probation of the violent language resorted to, and now that it is dissolved 1 feel it my duty to do justice to it. It was composed of men of high talents and superior endowments, who, I believe, never bad any wish to disturb the public peace; lint who, on tile contrary, . . - were the chief instruments of preserving tranquillity in Ireland. The public peace was more likely to be endan gered by the course pursued by the Noble Lord and his adherents, who stepped beyond the law, and, in place of having - recourse to argument and reason, attempted to carry their point by uproar and disturbance. The Noble Loril had said much about the disturbance created by the Catholic As:oattion, and the violence of the mail Priests; but let the Noble Lord point out to me a mad Priest in the Catholic Association, and I will show hint a madder Parson in the Brunswick Clubs. Let hint point out any absurd speech from a Priest, or any other member of the Association, abounding with fustian and nonsense, and I will show him his fellow is the Brunswick Association. We have been told that sedition existed in the Catholic As sociation—( Yes, from Lord Longford)—but I say there was more sedition—nay, I may say treason—in the Brunswick Clubs. Why the Noble Lord should express such indig La tion against the Catholic Association, and none against the other, 1 cannot account for on any other principle than that of a paralytic affection. His complaints are all on one side.—(Laughter.)—He comp'ains of the fury and riot of the Association, but tines riot put one stricture against the Brunswick Clubs—(hear)—meetings, where mora violence and uproar, and sedition, have appeared, than in any other, for a long period. If it had been stated in the Association, as it has been repeatedly in Brunswick Clubs, that the King had forfeited his title to the Throne, what an outcry would have been raised against it by those very men who were guilty of the expression ; and with what violence they would have urged the Government punish such seditious language.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Ido not, however, blame the Law Officers for not proceeding against either the one Association or the other to the extent the law allowed. They have pursued a much wiser course, and fallen (m a much more effectual plan for settling the dispute between the conflicting parties. They have adopted' a measure which, I trust, will render all such laws unne cessary, and restore to the country peace and prosperity. The Noble Lord had said a great deal about the fustian and nonsense, and sedition, spoken at the Association: but it is only necessary for him to refer to the speeches made at certain other meetings ; and, if he judges impar tially, lie will admit that the Catholics are not the only rhodomot,taders and seditionmongers. Ile has also com plained of the rent; but is there no rent collected in other Associations?—(From Lord Longford, " No; a subscrip tion.") • I hug the Ncble Lord's pardon for giving it the name of rent ; but it appears that money is col lected, though he says it is not an annual collection like the rent, but a subscription—a contribution for peace-making. And is not the rent for the same pur pose ? Is it not the contribution to assist the Association in carrying the crest question, as well as for other chari table purposes ? I return the Noble Lord my best thanks for his strictures, as well as for his active exertions in es tablishing Brunswick Clubs. The Brunswick Clubs and the Association have alike contributed to the adjustment of the question. The Noble Lord, however, has been as un successful in his last political measure, as he was in his prophecy ; and if Mr. O'Connell claims merit for having brought the question to a successful issue, the Noble Lord is entitled to a share of it—(laughter); end there is only this difference, that Mr. O'Connell has succeeded, and the Noble Lord has failed. I certainly was a little piqued at the strictures made by the Noble Lord during my absence. ((Id have therefore th, , tiglit incumbent on me to make these observations. I may, in conclusi,n, recall to his L rd ship's recollection, that it is lunch more easy to be an emi nent critic than a good performer. One requires much disastrous, and dangerous to the country, and calculated to create disaffection and rebellion. He did not think that sufficiently strong measures had been adopted for putting it down, nor that the measures adopted had been properly' carried into execution, and he would persevere in his former statement; all this was owing to the two last Administra tions, one of which the Noble Lord Was a Member of.— The Noble Lord had alluded to otter topics, into which be did not think it necessary to foil ,w him. lie bad gone into the great question, and he had taken advantage of so doing to cast imputations on hi.n, for having said that lie was inactive in his official situat;on. The Noble Lord p►ad offered to him advice, l ut h: begged leave to reolind the' Noble Lord that chari ybe ;ins at home; and us to his directions how to steer one's way, and such topics, the Noble Lord might have sp u•ed himself the trouble of givin g them. He was astonished to hear the Association spoke a of in the terms which the Noble Lord used—he said that it met for the purpose of appealing against just gric.- vances, but he slid not believe that the Association did confine itself to just grievances. No one had at right to say that the grievances were just, because it was the law which made them. The law was Protestant, and by that law Catholics were extlttdecl., The Noble Lord asked whether he (the Earl of Longford) was a friend to free discussion. He must say that lie 3-7atii and, perhaps, that the Noble Lord was not in reality . _ truer friend to it than he was. It was to the use of in flammatory topics that he alluded. The Noble Lord had said the Protestant Associations were as lawless as the Ca tholic, but he should recollect that, in J 825, when the Bill fur the suppression of the Catholic Association passed, the Brunswick Clubs did exist then, but the Protestants gave w, v. He was aware that all associations were liable to error, but be believed the Brunswick was as little to be charged with errors as any could well be. Their aim sac to act in favour of, and not against the laws of the country. (Hear.) He had been accused of prophesying, but other persons bad indulged in that vein, and their - predictions had not been fulfilled. In some of their speeches, which dazzled, at the same time blinded the public eye.—(Here Lord l'lunket said something across the table which was not heard, and to which the Noble Lord seemed to assent, and passed on to another topi , ;.) The Noble Lord bad been pleased ti advert to the conduct of one of his relatives, but the plain fact was, that his relative, having been returned by a particular interest in a county, changed his opinion, and that that interest became unwilling to re-elect him, and be had the spirit, :is he could not come in on the same in terest, not to be chosen by any other.—(Hear.)—That was the whole case. The Noble Lord was quite wrong to place Protestant and Catholic Priesthood with equal right, when the latter had no place in the Constitution. - He had said thus much in reply to the Noble Lord, though he felt he was not equal, in two minutes' preparation, to reply to his speech of ten days' consideration. The Duke of WELLINGTON was unwilling to take a part in the discussion, hut he found it necessary, in conse quence of a passage in the Noble Lord's speech, to say a single word fhe Noble and Learned Lord stated that, when he brought in the Bill, in 1823, for the suppression of the Association, he had understood it was t o have bee❑ fol lowed with one of concession. Lord PLUNKET—I beg pardon, I did not mean to s.,y so. What I intended to say was, that. it was lay cx pectation.—(Hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON.—That exactly what 1 was gong to say. My Noble and Learncl Friend, if he will allow me to call him so, could mean nothing else. My Noble relative, who was at that time at the head of the Government, mentioned something of the kind in a paragraph in one of his letters ; but, with refer ence to the fact itself, I must distinctly say the Govern ment of Ireland did not propose that another measure should follow that in question. I think it right to say so much for the Irish Govelmneut of that period; as I am satisfied, if their word was in any way engaged, they would have fulfilled it. Lord PLUNKET again repeated that he meant he had merely the expectation. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented nine pc titions from Somersetshire, against Catholic Emancipation. Lord PLUNKET presented two petitions from parishes in Leinster in favour of the same measure. Adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Sir G. CLERK. took the oaths and his seat. Colonel SIBTFIORPE presented a petition frotn the parish of Saxletry, against further concessions to the Ro man Catholics. Sir T. MOSTYN presented a similar petitio❑ from the hundred of Mayler in the county of Kent ; also a similar petition from, toe parish of St. Asaph. Mr. WYNDHAM presented a similar petition from the Archde•aconry of Sarum. On the motion of Sir T. BARING, the petition from the Select Vestry of St. Mary-la-Bonne was referred to the Select Committee on the Standing Orders. Mr. 'DAVENPORT presented a petition from tT,e Journeymen Silk Weavers of the town of Macclesfield, who informed the House that their distresses were much increasing. The Honourable Member said, that the town of Macclesfield, which was once so fast approaching to wealth and prosperity, bad now fallen to a state of incre dible distress, and one might now see 500 or 600 houses unoccupied. He believed that the cause of this distress was the late alteration in the Silk Laws. Those laws were found not to answer, and in such a case the original laws ought to be revived. Sir G. PHILLIPS believed that the petitionems, and the Hon. Gentleman who presented the petition, were ender a great mistake when they thought that the trade tad been injured as he (Sir G. Phillips) believed that the laws had been calculated to produce a contrary effect. He believed that if any respectable manufacturers were examined by the House, they could state that imstea.el of the late alterations having injured, they had improved the silk trade. Instead of the French trade being improved, the manufacturers of that country complained that, the ne v laws had injured them. He considered it far more like!) , that the present distress arose from a too great increase of manufacturers, and from the introduction of machinery, which had lowered the prices. Mr. BRIGHT considered that if ever there was a case ich called fur investigation by the House, it was the .iesent one. Various causes had f een assigned, but 1 c believed that the true one could not be discovered tid the House procured evidence. Sir IL PARNELL, was convinced the true cause of dis tress was, as the Duke uf Wellington lately stated, to e attributed to the great extent to which smuggling w. s carried in this country, but the only means of removi g the distress was, by reducing the present high rate of d uties. —(llean ) General GASCOYNE 7 -1113 , Hon.

Sir ROSERT KING said he was entreated to present' a petition from ao. imlicidual named Loughith agair.st the leg,: , ty of return of Daniel O'C)ohnell, Esq. for the County r Clare, and pral'irig he might be heard by Gunned at the Bar of tit): Ilonse. The SPEAKER informed the Hon. Baronet, according to the standing eiders, the pctitiim was toe Lite. , Sir ROBERT KING said he sh•itild have presented it yesterday had there been a House. Some conversation teliowed in a low tone, which it was irnpossild:. to heir in tile gallery, at ;he conclusion, The SPEAKER ini'‘,rmed the Hon. lkhinher that yes t rday would have been one day too lade. The petition wae then withdrawn. Mr. BANKES prwented two petitions against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. A new Writ was ordered int the elertima nt a Member for Corfe Castle, in the room of Mr. Pesch, who had ac cepted the Chiltern lituich-qclA. Admiral SOTHERON tore,ented fourteen petitions from places in the twenty of Nottingham, against any fur ther concesitiorl. to the flown Catholics. Mr. ESTCO4.7IIT presented a petition from Stafford shire, against the Roman Catholics. He stated that he had always opposed concession, and had seen or heard nothing to induce him to change his opinion. After a few words from Lord MILTON, the petition was ordered to be p►inted. Mr, STCOURT also presented two other /s;4lar pe . tie oni. - Lord DUNt3ANNON presented 24 petitions from the counties of ..ilkenny and Tipperary, praying for unquali fied Emancipation. Also two petitions against the Sub letting Act. Nr. HART DAVIS presented a petition against the Catholics, from the Mayor, Magistrates, Clergy, and Inha bitants of the city of Bristol. He wished to call the at tendon of the House to the number of signatures, as he believed that no petition, which had ever been pre sented from the city of Bristol, had been so respectably and numerously signed. It was signed at a public meeting of the inhabitants in Queen-square, where a statue at King William the Third happened appropriately to be placed. The number of persons was estimated dif ferently, the fullest accounts stating them at upwards of 20,000. It had not only been signed at Bristol, but the neiglibauring village of Clifton. Persons hail been appointe.l to examine the signatures, when it ap peared that the petition had been signed by a great number of Ladies, whose signatures were very ungallantly erased, though they probably formed the . most interesting part of the petition. After that examination the petition contained 58,894 signatures, which was the strongest ma nifestation of the public opinion he had orer witnessed in that city, and he hoped would lime the proper influence on his Majesty's Ministers. Lord MILTON said, that the Hon. Gentleman described the petition as from the city of Bristol, and said that it was signed by 38,894 persons. Were those signatures from Bristol itself? Mr. HART DAVIS observed that he had already stated that the petition was from the city of Bristol, and the pa rishes within ten miles. Mr. BRIGHT said that he could not undertake himself to speak on the subject ; but from a list which had been trans mitted to him, and which be held in his hand, it appeared that 24,712 of the petitioners were residents in Bristol it s elf. Mr. TENNYSON o'lerved that the last census for the city of Bristol rated the inhabitants at 87,000, he would say he believed them to be 90,000. The males were rated at 38,000, including of course the male children, who must be computed at half the number, by which cal culation the petition of the Hon. Member would be found to contain the whole number of males in Bristol, including the children. A counter-petition had been presented bearing 1700 sigaatuees, which number must of conrse be deducted; and, under such circumstances, he conceived that the petition was one which the Hon. Member should have been ashamed to present. He had another objection to make to it, that the word " undersigned" had been erased and the words " Mayor, Magistrates, Clergy," inserted. He would not reject the petition for this, but he stated the fact for the purpose of showing in what way it hail been got tap, and the spirit which influenced its supporters. With regard to the counter-petition, he deprecated the practice which had been pursued to prevent persons from signing it, the Mayer having interfeacd at a public meeting, and dis persed it on the ground that the public peace was endan gered by it. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE did not expect that a petition which came from such a place on such a question would have been received in the manner it had been. He regretted, and was surprised at the observations trede by the Hon. Member opposite, and would assert on his own te,•ponsi bility that a more faithful and honest manifestation of the public opinion had never been brought before that House. He much regretted that latterly petitions had been received in the way they had, by Members on the other aide of the House. It was in direct opposition to the principles which they always had the credit of supporting. It was fit that there should he the same respect paid to petitions o❑ one si-le of the question as on the other. The petition now nn the fleor of the House was entitled to more attention than per haps any that would he presented during the present Session. With respect to the Right Hoe. Secretary of State, he (Sir T. Lethbridge) had had no opportunity of addreeeing the Houle since the Right Hon. Gentleman's conduct had been strongly animadverted upon in that Heusi., and out of *tat House in a most shameful manner—in a manner disgraceful to the British nation, disgraceful to the British Press, and in opposition to the hest feelings of the country. (Hear. )—He was quite sure that the Right Hon. r"•vu tle:rtan had not come to the point at which he had arrived without great deliberation, and that hie purposes were these of honest integrity, deseriing general confidence, and not reprobation.—(Hear.) Sir R. WILSON perfectly agreed with the Hon. Ba ronet, that the petitions of the people ought to he received with the greatest respect ; and he would not himself hesi tate to animadvert on the coedect of any Hon. Friend of hie who might seem disposed to treat them slightingly,— But his objection to the present petition was thit it had been signed by persons who, while themselves exercising the right of petitioning, had prevented others from exer cising the same right in signing the petition which had been presented the other evening by an Hon. Friend of his. That was his objection. Mr. HART DAVIS explained the manner in which the two Bristol petitions had been lying for signatures, the one at the Guildhall, the other at the Exchange ; the mistakes which had occurred by parties signing the wrong petition ; the applications to erase those names ; the refusal ; the subsequent riot, breaking of tables, &c. ; and the proprri tion made by the Mayor to withdraw both petitions ; but we were unable to follow the Hon. Gentlemen through his statement. He admitted that hot for those occur rences the petition in favour of the Catholics might have received a few more signatures, but only a few. Mr. O'NEILL expressed his cordial approbation of the constitutional arguments of the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Sornersetsiaire. Lord JOIN RUSSELL protested against the state ment of the Hon. Baronet, that there was any disposition on his (Lord John Russell's) side of the House, to discou rage the right of petitioning. On the contrary, that right had ever been considered by his side of the House as most sacred, and no men were more disposed tai pay the deepest attention to the wishes of the people of England expressed by petition. But it was not because they to highly valued the right of petitioning, that when efforts were made to produce a factitious expression of opinion, they were called upon to abandon the privilege of critically examining any petition that might he offered to their consideration. It had been stated, and he had not heard any contradiction of the statement, that a certain number of the signatures to the petition just presented from the city of Bristol were the signatures of boys at school, and of boys under ten years of age. [ Sir. H. Davis denied the accuracy of this statement.l He was glad to hear the Hon. Member fur Bristol contra dict the statement. One of the Bristol newspapers certainly contained the names and ages of several boys whe signed the petition. Supposing that to have been actually the case, would not the Hon. Baronet allow that it would fur nish a sufficient ground for inquiry ? For let him see in what way the question stood. There had been no prope eition to Parliament to take away any of the rights of his Majesty's subjects, laity or clergy. On the contrary, the question which the Crown had called upon Parliament to consider was, whether the Roman Catholics could be ad mitted to an equal share of political power, consistently * with the preservation of the rights and privileges of the Protestant faith. On this question all the men of genius and talents in this country had been exercising their abili ties during the last five and twenty years. Was it too much to say, that we should place greater reliance on the opinions of children under 11 or 12 years of age, than on the opinioni of such persons? Were the sentiments of such great men as Pitt, and Burke, and Fox, and Grattan, to h e for a moment compared with the sentiments expressed in a petition got up by artificial means, and signed by many pernia Win MIA 91 Acceslity be x golly hi:tainted with the real merits of the question .P That was his objection; and it did tot in the leaSt apply to the fair and legitimate exercise of the right of petitioning. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE declared 'that fie was always ready to do ample.instige tai ihNt Imcitives of the N,dde Lord and his Fon. triefitti; out still he must say, that on one or tit,.c 'n'easiorat they had ath meted to cut down tft, - • 'Apression of public opinion when in favour of the. s.de of the question to which they were opposed. It boys under ten years of age had been permittYl to sign the petition presented this evening by tht.ttorr. Member for Bristol, lie perfectly agreed with the Noble Lord, that it was ari Myra rd eCI, incapable of justification. But the Rouse had heard the Hon. Member f o Bristol declare, that he did not know that itaY inch signatures had been permitted. Air. BEIM At expressed his surprise that it should be consitiered that the Catholic Question was a subject fitted fel- the consideration of learned statesmen and philosophers. He believed that the city of Bristol contained many per sons as e“mpetent to jedge the merits of that question as any individual A' s no had a seat in that House. The petitiott had been made the subject of observations which were by no means merited. A criticism had been made on the numbers of the petition, founded on a census made many years a , ,;(l.—(Hear.)—ln all human probability there were many double signatures to the petition, for indivi duals who were zealous, and felt strongly, might, perhaps, have signed twice.—(A laugh. )—The criticisms which had been made on the omission of the word " under signed," were, in his opinion, fit only for an inferior court of common law. Mr. CAVE had received a letter from Bristol, which informed him that the petition had been sent to the county gaol, where the signatures of forty-four malefactors were attached to it. Mr. H. DAVIS said that this was the first lie had heard of the circumstance alluded to by the Hon. Member. Lord MILTON belived that the petition spoke the sen timents of the city of Bristol ; but the members for that city would allow him to remind them of a remark made by a former representative •of Bristol. Mr. Burke said that the people were good judges as to whether the House of Commons were making themselves the tools of the court or the true servants of the people ; but he added, that " with respect to the wisdom of political measures we have a very different criterion to judge by." He believed that the strong feeling which prevailed in Bristol and the west of England against the Catholic claims might be explained by circumstances. He thought the origin of that feeling might be traced to the cruelties practised in that part of the country by the sanguinary instrument of a Catholic tyrant. In the north of England the feeling against the Catholics was not nearly so strong. Mr. BROUGHAM considered that the petition from Bristol fairly represented tie feelings, if not the opinions of the majority of the people of that city ; but be also be lieved, that if any petitions were sent up from Sheffield, Leeds, or other large manufacturing towns, they would be of a different nature. He could not agree with the Hon. Member for Bristol in thinking so tenderly of the signatures of children, and double signatures, because be , considered the former inadequate, and the latter something very like a fraud. Mr. BRIGHT denied having admitted that the signa tures of children were attached to the petition. The petition was ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented petitions against any further concessions being granted to the Catholics from four parishes in Berkshire; from the Corporation of Hammermen in Glasgow; from the parishes of St. Leo nard and St. Peter, in the borough of Wallingford; from the Clergy of the deanery of Lonsdale; from two parishes in Derbyshire; from a parish in the diocess of Bangor; from a parish in Oxfordshire; from the Clergy of the deanery of Windermere; from the Clergy of the deanery of Walsden ; from the Clergy of the deanery of Bucking ham ; from the Clergy of the deanery of Wickham ; and from the Clergy of the deanery of Newport. Mr. C. PALLIIER presented two petitions of a similar nature from Cobham and another place in Snrrey. Mr. IL MAXWELL presented eleven petitions from different places in thecounties of Armagh, Antrim, Leitrim, and Kildare, praying that no further concessions might be granted to the Roman Catholics. Some of these peti tions also prayed that the House would institute an in qviry into the nature and object of the Jesuit establish• ments in Ireland. Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and other Freeholders of, the county and city of Limerick against emancipation. Mr. LLOYD denied that the petition could be consi dered as speaking the sense of the county which be repre sented. The persons who bad signed the petition did not constitute one-third of the Protestant inhabitants ; and in respect to property, they did not form more thansone tenth of the landed proprietors. He was convinced that many 'nary of those who were members of Branswick Clubs would not, in the present posture of affairs, lend themselves for the purpose of defeating an object of con ciliatory adjustment brought forward under the auspices of the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, and the right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department, in both of whom they placed the most unlimited confidence. He could state, from his own knowledge of the opinions of a large number of those who composed the Bruns wick Ciubs, that they had not in the first instance been formed from any feeling of hostility towards their Catholic fellow-subjects, but merely that their union might serve as a measure of what they considered necessary ,lefenre against the dangers of the Catholic Asso ciation. In confirmation of this, he might mention, that when a Noble Lord was solicited to accept the office of President of the. Limerick Brunswick Club, he, with a frankness and straightforward manliness which always cha racterised him, expressly declined being considered as a member of any politic,' club, with a view of resisting the wishes of his Majesty's Government, it they should think it expedient to introduce a measure for the conciliatory ad justment of the question, which he stated he had reason to believe was the intention of the Noble Duke at the head of the Administration. With this reservat;on he consented to join the Brunswick Club, who with cheers accepted him El tl:eir president on those terms. It was then, he consi tiered, very difficult to believe that, after this disclaim,•, of hostility to their Catholic fellow-subjects, they would, after the Catholic Association was extinct, and in defiance of the wishes of their Sovereign, use active hostility to de feat a measure recomnu•nded from the Throne by the una nimous advice of a Cabinet in which they placed unbound ed confidence. As to his own opinions with respect to the contemplated measures, he had no hesitation in Glaring, that no measure or combination of measures that could be devised by the best friend of Ireland, could pro mote the race and prosperity of that country more effec tually than that would ; and he was cenvineed that it was calculated above all other things to consolidate the strength and power of the British empire.—(liesr, hear.) Mr. TRANT had been instruc , ed to support the prayer of the petition ; and as the lion. Member for Limerick had alluded to a supposed alteration of opinions, in conse quence of the measure about to be introduced into Parlia ment, be might be allowed to state, that since the an nouncement of the intention to introduce that measure, he had received a letter from the secretary to the Limerick Brunswick Club, requesting him to support the prayer of this petition to the best of his abilities. Mr. LLOYD explained. Mr. MOORE could also state that he had received a letter from the secretary to this club, since the club had become acquainted with the intentions of Government, in which they expressed the same sentiments as before ; or if there was any change, it was that those feelings had be• come Stronger. The petition was brought up and read, and after a few words from Mr. HUME was ordered to be printed. Mr. MOORE presented similar petitions from a large number of the inhabitants of Drogheda ; from the Mayor, Sheriff, and Corporation of that town; and also from some person in Armagh, whose name did not reach us. Ordered to be printed. Mr. MOORE also presented a petition from Sir Charles Waller, Bait., setting forth that the intended measure of emancipation was not at all likely to have the effect cf ameliorating the condition of the poor of Ireland. He therefore prayed that the Howe would direct its attention to the condition of the Irish poor, with a view to its im provement, rather than to waste its time on measures which related only to the ambition of the Roman Catholic ari.tocracy, to the neglect of the poor who were the real sufferers. Ordered to he printed. Mr. WELLS had two petitions to pr. sent. They were from Maidstone—one from the Minister and Congregation of Providence Chapel, and the other from the Protestant inhabitants of Kingstown, in Maidstone. The signatures to the petitions from the town of Maidstone were nume rous, and most respectably signed, and were procured by going from house to house. He read the petition, and said he concurred most heartily with the sentiments the peti tioners expressed. It was brought forward in consequence of the petitioners being alarmed by the desertion of those they considered as guardians of the Protestant interest. They therefore prayed that Parliament would not grant further concession to the Roman Catholics, especially to admit them into that House. Sixty Roman Catholic Mem bers might govern the House of Commons. He should maintain his opinion,. and support it by his vote, though it wad to be Witd fAcuous i bade, or infamous. Thie l he thoUght was more the language of thtl-liouse O. Stuart than the House of Brunswick.—The petitions Were ordered t) be printed. Sir W. POLLEN presented petitions from the inhabit ants of Illonkstown and Arnport, and another place in Southampton, against the Catholic claims. 1. , 111 MILTON presented a p•tition in favour of these el ina.= from the Unitarians of Barton-street Chapel, in Gloucester. . . The Noble Lord presented a similar petition from the town 'Of HalifaX, in Yolkshire, signed by 9,000 persons. —Ordered to lie printed. Mr. TRANT presen-ed a petition against concession from the parish of Wetherset, in Suffolk, which the Hon. Member observed was signed by all the inhabitants of the parish except two.—(A laugh.)—To be printed. Sir J. LOWTHER presented a similar petition from Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale.—To be printed. Mr. BASTARD presented similar petitions from Kings idge, from the clergy of the archdeaconry of Exeter, from the clergy of the arehtleaconry of Totness, and from Ilfracombe and two other places in D e vonshire.—To he printed. Col. PEEL presented similar petitions from the Vet) , Rev. the Dean, the Chancellor, and Prebendaries of Norwich, from the Archdeacons and Clergy of Norfolk, signed by 236 clergy; and also from East Dercham and Edderston. Mr. HUME—Does this petition include the %%hole of the clergy of the archdeaconry, or only a part ? I know that one of the archdeacons has prevailed upon a large portion of his Rev. brethren to present a petition to Par liament in favour of the Catholic Claims. I only say this, because I am anxious that it should not he supposed that all the clergy of that archdeaconry are opposed to the Ca tholic Claims. The petitions were then laid on the table, and ordered to he printed. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented four petitions from the inhabitants of parishes in the county of Somerset. The petitions were brought up, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a petition from the inhabitants of the town of Shepton Mallet, praying, that if there were any repeal of taxes this year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would turn his attention to the expe diency of repealing some of the assessed taxes, and espe cially the house and window tax. He had also to present a petition from the inhabitants of Bath with the same prayer. He must press upon the Right Host. Gentleman the propriety of granting this boon, if it were possible, to the people of England. The petitions were brought up, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Colonel WILSON then rose—l hold in my hand a peti- tion from the citizens of York resident in the town of Kingston-upon-Hull, praying that no further concessions be granted to the Roman Catholics. I cannot do better than read the words in which the petition is couched : —" The petitioners respectfully pray your Honourable House to resist the attacks oft.the Roman Catholics, and to continue these safeguards by which our venerable Con stitution in Church and State has been so long preserved, which blessings we have inherited from our ancestors, and wish to transmit unimpaired to our posterity." (A laugh.) I concur, Sir, most cordially in the prayer of this peti- . . . tion. lam sorry to differ on any subject from the Go vernment of my Royal Master, but I should act as a traitor to my constituents, I should act also as a traitor to my own conscience, if I did not oppose them on this. When I was first elected a Member - Of Parliament, I made a de claration to the effect that it was my determination to sup port the Government of my Royal Master, without caring who composed it, when it was acting for the welfare of the country, and to oppose it when my conscience told me that it was acting otherwise. Ido not care for Ministers. Ido not mind who they are. The appointment of my Royal Master is enough for Inc. (Cries of Hear, mingled with great laughter.) Whether they are Whigs or Tories it's all one to me. (Laughter.) While they act con scientiously I'll support them. While they act otherwise I'll oppose them. This has been my language always-- this is my language now—l care not I say who the men are—the appointment of my Royal Master is good enough for me. (Bursts of laughter.) Gentlemen may have dif ferent opinions, but I am come here to speak my mind. (Laughter continued.) I am extremely sorry Gentlemen shouldsruile ; but I shall be glad if they have not occasion before long to weep for the consequences of what they are doing. Perhaps they think that I entertain animosity to the Roman Catholics. I declare before God that I bear them no animosity. There are some of them I respect ; but it is inconsistent with common sense, if common sense is to predominate, to let Roman Catholics legislate for a Protestant community.—(hear, hear.)—l like the present Ministers well enough ; but I regret to say that I cannot pull with them on this occasion. I say, that if they at tempt to force this measure down our throats,—(great laughter,)—l am sorry that my Hon. Friends opposite will not hear me. I seldom open my mouth in this House and I should nut have opened it now if I did not think the present to be an occasion on which all Protestants— that is all true Protestants—should speak out. I ask you, Sir, whether, if 1 were silent, entertaining the sentiments which I entertain, I should not be acting as a traitor to my constituents, and also its a traitor to my own con rwience ?—(Tumultuous laughter.)—l am sorry that my Hon. Friends on the other side of the House are uneasy at my remarks; but I regret still more that Ministers should calmly and deliberately ask their Royal Master and mine to yield this measure as a stepping-stone to the scaffold, where he will lose his head.—(A laugh.) —I call on every Protestant, on every true Protestant, to support that sacred bareer (barrier) which was cemented by the blood of our brave ancestors for the protection of our invaluable Constitution in Church and State.—( Hear, and a laugh. )—Can this be forgot, I ask ? Is there one man in this House, with the fear of God before his eyes, who can forget the days of his ancestors who established the sacred &freer? I say that there is no true Protestant in this House who can sit quiet arrl allow it to be pulled down about his ears by Catholic legislators. I trust that the day will not dawn when such ruin shall be accomplished. I trust that the band of Divine Providence will give the noble heart of my Royal Master fortitude to stem the malignant torrent, which is now so likely to swamp the state.—(A laugh. )—I hope that it will open the eyes of his Majesty's advisers, anti cause them to pause a dozen times bet Ore they break down the sacred Intreer cemented by the blood of our brave ancestors.—(A laugh.)—Can that be forgot?—(Con tinued laughter.)—God forbid.—(More laughter. )---I am very sorry that I should disturb the equanimity of the House, and I ought perhaps to apologize to the Chairman for doing so ; but I am a staunch and true Protestant. — (Hear.)—No man has a more rigid regard to the Constitu. tion iii Church and State than I have ; and though I say it, there is not a more loyal subject on the face of the earth. I have every respect, too, for the Roman Catholics ; but if my own father were a Roman Catholic, I would not allow him to come here to legislate fur a Protestant Constitution. —(llear.)—Sir, it can't be, Protestant flesh and biood won't allow it.—(Laughter.)—l hope that the arm of Pro vidence won'tallow it.—(l.aughter continued. )—lhopeihat he will endow the heart of my Royal Mister with fortitude enough to stem the malignant torrent which is likely to swamp the State !—(Laughter. )—There is nn nun in the House who feels inure fur the distress of Ireland titan I do. There is nn nun who will come more cheerfully forward bo relieve that distress ; but I say that the remedy uow pro posed won't do it. If his Majesty's Government trill bring forward any specific measure to a m e liorate the con dition of the poor in Ireland, I shall be proud to support it. I will join in the yoke, and endeavour to ascend the hill with them. As to the remedy now proposed, I say that the cure is worse than the disease.—(llear, hear, and a laugh.)—What does all this conic to ? What does all this mean ?—(Roars of laughter, mingled with cries of hear.)—The meaning is this—that the Catholics will get hold of the temporalities of the Protestant Church—that's the whole thing it means—that is the essence of it, and nothing else. -(Roars of laughter.)—l repeat, that is the essence of it, and I can only refer you, Sir, and every Protestant who hears me, to the speech of the leader of the Irish Parliament on the Wednesday before the meeting of Parliament. Yes, Sir, let me call the at tention of Parliament to the declaration of the great O'Connell, the leader of the Irish Parliament, or what ever else you please to call it. On the Wednesday before the meeting of Parliament he delivered a speech. 1 read it, Sir, arid I read it with dismay.—(A laugh.)—Not that I mean to find fault with O'Connell.—(More No, he acts as I like, for he acts plainly, openly, and man fully. 1 wish to God we had some O'Cnt,,ll's on our side of the House.—(Roars of laughter.)—Yes—h e ' s th e man—he (lees not go about the bush, and about the bush— No, he speaks plump out—he dares you manfully to your face. He tells you, when he passes within that tar, he'll mow down all the temporalities of the Proteatai.t Church. hear.) —What trill the Bishops say to that ? (Laughter.)—l refer the Bishops and all the Priests in the country to this speech, addressed to the Irish Parliament by this leading orator.—(Hear, hear.)— When a Satan has this speech before his eyes, can he fry that he is deceived ? This is plain speaking at any rate. By God, Sir—[slapping the petition with great violence on the bench before him) —by God, Sir, O'Connell is one of the finest fellows I ever met with. (Continu e d roars and shouts of laughter.) He's no assassin. Ile does not skulk behind the curtain to stab you to the heart in the dark. He does not dissemble what he would be at, No-- a, he the man for my money, (laughter continued); for he tell us that he never will rest contented until he has mown down the temporalities of the Protestant church. If we let lern into Parliament, we shall be robbing Peter to pay Paul, with a vengeance. I sty that giving up the rights of the Protestant el.urch to the Catholic church, is nothing less than robbing Peter to pay Paul. (Hear, and a laugh.) IS it likely, I ask, to remedy the distress of the poor of Ireland ? I tell the poor of Ireland that it is net. I tell teem that they are misled and deceived, if they suppose it will. They will find themselves in the same predicament, in the same cottages, in the same hovels, after the Papists, ;lave got all that they want, that they are in at present.— (Hear, hear.)—l trust that the Government,—and I tell it to the Noble Duke who is at the head of my Royal Master's Government,—yes, I trust yet in God, and I hope that I shall not be deceived—(here the Hon. Member paused, on account of the laughter which pervaded the House)—l trust that if the Noble Duke shall persist in his determination to pull down with one hand tie sacred bareer cemented by the blood of our brave ancestors for the protection of the Protestant constitu tion in Church and State, he will determine to establish with the other, (and I think that he has some glimmering i lea of it,) some security for the future preservation of that Constitution. I will not speak positively as to the measure which is to be brought forward, until the curtain is hauled up, and I see the new light which has burst in upon Ministers. As for myself, I must say that I have net got any of the slew li g ht.—(Laughter.)—l shall say little more.—(Hear.)—All I have to say is this one sentence more. The Protestant community is now at last rowst (so the Gallant Officer pronounced the word)—the British lion is growling and grumbling.—(A laugh. )_When he is once rowst, let those who have rowst him beware.— (Mars of langliter.)—l am glad to find that my Hen. Opponents, who call themselves the friends of liberal prin ciples, are obliged to resort to such baseness of opposition as this. I never have hindered them from delivering their sentiments in quiet to the House. Whak right have they to interrupt me?—(Hear.)—lf they think to put me down by their outrageous conduct, they mistake their man. It would ill become me, as the representative of the second city in the kingdom, to allow myself to be crubbed [curbed frenn delivering my sentiments.—(Roars of laughter.)— There is no other question but this on which I shall fly in the face of the Government of my Royal Master's appoint ment. I have been a staunch Protestant all my life. I was born and bred a Protestant. I hope to die a Protest ant ; and therefore on a question so vital to all true Pro testants, I hope my Hon. Opponents will forgive me for honestly and manfully declaring my opinions. lam sorry to say that the great supporter, the main champion of the Protestant cause, has been and now is bewildered. There is no doubt that he has some conscientious feeling.— (Hear, and laughter.)—He allowed that he had, when he separated himself from the late Mr. Canning, a Minister whose loss I deeply regret, though he was against us on the great question. Yes ; Mr. Canning was what I call a treasure to his conntry.—(Roars of laughter.)—Sir, I will not hide my sentiments—l will not go, as some do, !mat ing about the bush, but never entering the bush—l will say without any reserve that Mr. Canning was really what I call a great man,—(Hear, and laughter.)—lt was in consequence of the great Protestant leader deserving that really great man, on account of their difference of opinion on this question, that we placed our confidence in him ; and what astonished us, the Protestants of the country, was, that he, the great Protestant leader but I will not proceed, for he is not here to defend himself, and I wish to act with kindness by him. This, however, I will say, that if the Right Hon.

(Roars of laughter.)—l repeat, Sir, that I will— The SPEAKER put the question, that this petition be now brought up. It was accordingly brought up, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from the burgesses of Berwick-upon-Tweed, praying for a repeal of the As sessed Taxes.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK presented a petition from the Unitarian Christians of King's Lyan, in Norfolk, in favour of concessions to the Roman Catholics.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Lord CLEMENTS presented a similar petition from tie Roman Catholics of Selbridge, in the county of Kil dare. lie also presented two other petitions from the saine parties, one against the vestry act, and another against the sub-letting act.—They were brought up, laid on the table, and or(lered to Ey... printed. . _ Mr. PALMER presented a petition from 600 inhahi tants of the town of Reading, praying that a o ft r,her con cessions be granted to the Roman Catholics. Mr. MONCK could not but congratulate the friends of religious liberty en the great progress which this question , :ad recently made in the town and vicinity of Reading. This was proved by the paucity of signatures attached to the present petition. As he was now on his legs, be would venture to pay the humble tribute of his applause to his Majesty's Ministers for their determination to make this a Government question. After a few words from Mr. FYSCIIE PALMER, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. SLANEY brought in a Bill to amend the laws respectin g the employment of able-bodied labourers.—lt was read a first time, but we could not hear the day fixed for its second reading. On the motion of the same Gentleman, several returns relative to the poor, presented in compliance with an order of tlse House of last Session, were ordered to be printed. Lord LOWTHER postponed till Tuesday se'nnight his notice of motion, for leave to bring in a Bill to conso lidate and amend the various Acts of Parliament which regulate the Woods and Forests, and the Land Revenue Dep irtments. BOGS OF IRELAND. Mr. BROWNLOW said, the condi ion of the suffering population of Ireland was past any de•cririon of his : he would not endeavour to describe that of w licit any de scription must fall short : he would on y desire Hon. Mem bers not to conceive any thing of the condition of the poor in Ireland from what they knew of the con lition of the poor in England. Undoubtedly those members of the lower classes who were bred in this country to labour, Ayala subject to all the inconveniences of a toilsome exist ence : they were not, however, without the necessaries, nor without even som e of the comforts of life. If these by a ny of the accidents of fortune failed them, they had their national charities to which they could apply. But in Ireland it was not so. We are there in a state of society many degrees below the level of the people of England, both in food, in clothing, in raiment, and in all the other circumstances for which a people was appreciated. He believed that in no part of t he wide world was such complicated suffering born with such exemplary patience as in Ireland. The Committee w hi c h had sat on the subject of Emigration, had stated i n their report that millions rose daily in Ireland, without knowing to what object they were to direct their labour during the day. Every year there were vast emigrations of Irish paupers into this country, in duced to come hither by a..prospect of obtaining better wa ges than at home. If employment were not given to Irishmen at home, their appearance here would soon tend to the injury and demoralization of England. It was im possible that there should exist a considerable difference in the rate of wages attainable in two neighbouring countries without a tendency to an approximation. Here the average rate of wages might he taken at 25., while in Ire land it did not exceed 4d. per head. Sooner or later, if matters were allowed to proceed as at present, a most dis astrous level of wages would be adopted, to the ruin of the l a bourer and manufacturer of this country. He called upon all who heard him to use their best exertions to put a stop to the growing evil. The remedy was easy. If they had millions of unemployed men in Ireland, they bad also mil lions of acres of waste ground, capable of profitable culti- Tali:Q. To or fifteen years Ago o coraminion i assisted BURTON, Lord L. GOWER said the House and the country were much indebted to the Hon. Member for Armagh, for bringing forward a subject to which it was impossible to give the most cursory attention without seeing the great advantage that would be derived from accomplishing the object in question, the drainage of the bogs of Ireland. Mr. HUME observed, that ten years had elapsed since the subject was investigated at the public expense, yet no thing was done. After the expence of a survey and com mission, it was now left to an individual to bring the matter before Parliament. Mr. L. FOSTER said, none of the Commissioners ever received any remuneration. Mr. R. GRANT—The great evil of Ireland, as it had been represented by the Hon. Member for Armagh, con sisted in its overpopulousness ; in other words, there were ft _ _ greater number of persons to be employed than there was employment for. Taking the inhabitants to be over crowded in their present space, that would be the first ef fect of a measure such as that proposed by the Hon. Mem ber to relieve the over-population by placing it on the waste parts when reclaimed, and thus both parts of the country, the old and the new lands, would be relieved. But, unless the habits of the people were improved by the introduction of wise alterative measures, the subsequent effect would he that, in both parts, they would ere long fill up to a state of repletion and misery exactly like the present. The great measure now about to he introduced by Ministers, would indeed remove a bar to improvement, and in that view was indispensable; but it must be fol lowed by others before the full benefit of it could be ob tained. Mr. WALLACE feared that as yet the matter was not ripe for legislation. After a few words from Mr•. BRowm.ow - , ►n reply, the motion was agreed to. CATHOLIC ANI) ANTI-CATHOLIC PETITIONS. Mr. O'NEIL, after a few observations respecting Ca tholic and anti Catholic petitions, moved that a weekly return should be made, fin• the use of Members of that House, of the number of petitions presented, whether for or against the Rowan Catholics, naming the places from whence they were sent, and staling the number of signa tures to each petition, and the amount of the population of such places, according to the last census, and that the first list should include all petitions alrealy presented. Mr. HUME seconded the 'notion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was posed to the motion because it was unusual, and a depar- • ture from general practice, and could nut fail hereafter to he drawn into a precedent on occasions of even perhaps less emergency or interest. After a few words from Mr. TRANT and Mr. O'NEIL, in reply, the motion was by leave withdrawn. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. the House resolved itself into a Conan ittee, in which the Right Hon. Gentleraa•t proposed a resolution, that an Ad dress should be presented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty would be pleased to issue, from time to time, sums of money to pay the fees due by usage to the Officers of Parliament on the passing• of Turnpike Bills. After a few remarks front Mr. LYTTLETON, who thanked the Right Hon. Gentleman for his improvement of the motion he had submitted last Session, the resolution was it t treed , to, and reported to the House. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Ten o'clock. by able engineers, was appointed, for the purpose of in- OAr ORD .igLECTION. quiring into the nature and extent of the bogs of Ireland, , and the possibility of reclaiming them.

Considerably before twelve o'clock, which was announced for the opening of the Election, the avenues of, Merton College leading to the door* of the ConvOcation Hall, were crowded with Masters, Doctors, Graduates, and others. At twelve precisely the doors were opened, and the rish was tremendous. So appalling did the danger of obtain-. ing admission appeal', that numbers shrunk hack' in dis may. As the crowd rushed in, Nobles, Commoners, and strangers were mingled in one confused scene . of dense up • roar. In an instant the Convocation Hall was crowded to suffocation, and the cries of " let me out, let me oat again !" were vociferated from hundreds, but escape was utterly impossible. After some degree of order and silence were obtained, the VICE-CitaNCET,LOR declared the object of the meeting in a few Latin sentences in the usual manner and forma lities.—(Cries of " Order, order, and hear, hear.") An officer having read the Act of Parliament, authoris ing the form of election, The VICE-CHANCELLOR then read the writ from the Crown-office, commanding the members of Con vocation to return a proper Member to sit in Parlia ment, in the room of the Right Honourable ROBERT PEEL, who had accepted the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.—(Great uproar, and cries of " Go to the poll ! Go to the poll!") The VICE CHANCELLOR now announced that the Con vocation was ready to receive the nomination of candidates and votes in their support.—(Go to poll! Go to poll' resounded from all parts of the Convocation—great num bers not knowing that a candidate had not yet been pro" poeed.) Dr. Maßsuaar, Warden of Merton College, then rose and proposed Mr. Peel, amidst the loudest and most vale• rnent uproar. In doing so, he said, Sir, I cannot but re gret that the nomination of the Right lion. Mr. Peel should have fallen upon this occasion to the hands of person so unable as I am to bring forward the nomination O f that gentleman in the manner in which it might have been brought forward by many other persons present in this meeting. I feel, Sir, in consequence, very much depressed on the occasion; bnt I shall endeavour to discharge my duty to the utmost of my power , In coming forward now, Sir, I am animated by feelings of private respect for that gentleman ; I am animated also by feelises of sincere attachment to this University, for which if I did not entertain the strongest attachment, I should be the Most unprincipled of men. Animated likewise tun I by a sincere regard and zeal for the Established Church and Constitution of this country.--(lmmenee applause.) If I had stood up and nominated tiff yon a young man, I' might h eve proposed a young man who had adorned all the paths of the Literature of this celebrated Univer sity—who had been endowed with all the honourable principles and feelings of Religions Liberty, which it has always been the object of this University to instruct but I might have felt th it I wanted the best of all possible tests—the test of experience ; but, Sir, I have now to sup port a gentleman, who, for twelve years of most active ex ertion, has been unremitting in his public career, when called to various official situations, where his great powers of mind have been employed ever since—partly for our s• Aves, and partly in the service of his King. and his coon try.--(Very great cheers, and cries of Poll, poll, poll. )—e • • I pass on therefore at once, Sir, to that question, upon which alone I apprehend any thing will be raised by wee of objection to the election of Mr. Peel on the present oc casion-1 mean the question of Catholic Emancipation.--• (Hear, hear, and Poll, poi!, poll.)

The question is asked, why should these number of men have been excluded so long from the privileges which others have enjoyeele hut for the benefit of the community that it should have been so ?

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1829. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. In consequence of the paramount interest at- tending this Election, we have made such ar rangements as will enable us this evening to give, by Express, in Second and Third Editions, the entire proceedings of the day at Oxford, together with the close of the poll. By extraordinary exertions we were enabled to give yesterday, in a Third Edition, the whole of the day's proceedings at the Oxford Election, and by dispatching expresses after the mails at a late hour, to convey the intelligence to most parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Another express was sent oil at past 10 o'clock to Oxford, the Members of which University will thus be able to read at their breakfast-table the fullest accounts of what took place there only a few hours before!! There is one peculiarity about the Oxford Elec tion which cannot fail to astonish all those who are in the slightest degree acquainted with the religious leaning of that University. A strong party has been formed there for the purpose of ejecting Mr. PEEL, because, forsooth, he has compromised the Church by his recent declaration in favour of the Catholics; and yet this same party, the staunch un compromising advocates of High Church doctrines, have thought it expedient to propose Sir R. Nous, A gentleman holding Evangelical tenets, and:of course opposed in many of his opinions to the Ultra- Toryism of the Protestant Hierarchy. We must confess we are wholly unable to see our way through this glaring inconsistency : it seems to us a paradox, put forth merely in elder to display the full excellence of Oxford logic : it is one, however, which Oxford ingenuity alone can solve. As far as mental and theological qualifications are concerned, no comparison can, we conceive, be possibly instituted between the rival candidates. Mr. PEEL is a gentleman who, in all those varied classical acquirements which extort such homage at Oxford, has long since pre-eminently distinguished himself. He is an accomplished scholar, an enlightened statesman, attached to a rational and temperate constitutional form of liberty, zealously devoted to the interests of the Protestant Church, and so far removed from any grovelling notions of self aggrandizement, that he has not hesitated to descend from his station, as leader of the High Church party, because he could no longer con scientiously support an impolitic system of in tolerance. With regard to Sir It. Iscate, his qualifications as a representative for Oxford arc yet to be ascertained. He has indeed put forth a few bulky pamphlets, distinguished by their hostility to the Catholic Claims ; moreover, he has from time to time delivered himself of divers orations in the House of Commons on the same trite topic; but as the trunk-makers are the best judges of his pamphlet•, and chow. few Members who wet e awake and could understand them, of his speeches, we shall hazard no further comment on the subject ; " Come then expressive silence, muse their praise." Such being the qualifications of the two Candidates, we most earnestly entreat the Members of the Con vocation to do them proportionate justice. We en- eat.. them to call to mind Mr. PEEL'S. twelve years' devotion to their intereAts, and to consider whether such experience ought not justly to out weigh the printed and - spoken lucubrations of Sir -RonEaT INGt.ts. We entreat them also to consider th.a by supporting Mr. - PEEL they are, in fact, supporting themselves ; that his interest is closely bound up with theirs; that the present constitutional measure, which it is his policy to adopt, it is equally theirs to sanction ; and that if they now think fit to reject him, they are rejecting a friend able and willing to assist them, in favour of one who lacks the ability, however strong may be his inclination. The Debates of last night in both Houses of Par liament were more than usually animated. In the Upper House, Lord PLUNKET, in reply to some aspersions which had been levelled against him on a former occasion, with reference to the Bill for suppressing the Catholic Association, made a vigorous and masterly defence, in the course of which he glanced at Lord LONGFORD'S prophetic faculties in a way that must, we conceive, have occasioned his Lordship a few uneasy sensations. He also did justice to the character and abilities of the Bruns wick Clubs, and observed, that if there were mad Priests at the Association, there were still madder Parsons at the Orange Lodges—a remark which, without any impeachment of his discernment, 'his Lordship might very safely have extended to the Dublin Corporation. In the Lower House a fine, but peculiar specimen of eloquence was developed in the oration of Colonel WILSON, member for York. For wit, point, discrimination, aptitude of expres sion, and singular beauty of pronunciation, this delightful speech has seldom, if ever been surpassed, and will, we have no doubt, prove the source of as much entertainment to the Gallant Colonel's "Royal Master," as it did last night to the House. What a pity he is not an Emancipationist ! There is little news of any importance in the French Journals. The Message,. des Chanthres quotes an Official Bulletin from the Berlin Gazelle, respecting the taking of Kali by the Russians, and states that the English Ambassador at Paris has tlis patched an extraordinary courier to Corfu. Accounts from Berlin state, that NICHOLAS will not go to the army before the middle of April, and they do not expect the campaign to be opened be fore the beginning of May. Accounts from Lisbon state, that the King of SPAIN has decided with his Council to grant a general arntistice to the Spanish Emigrants. We receired this morning the Hamburgh Reporter to the 21st, and Dutch Papers to the 26th inst., from which we extract the following : lIAMBURGII, FEB. 20. BoRBEN-HALLS, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The return of the frost seems likely to prolong the inactivity which has for some weeks past reigned in the cern market.

On the 3d inst. there was a general meeting of all the four Estates of the Kingdom, in which the Chancellor presented a rescript of his Majesty, signifying his wish to the Estates, that the motion for presenting an estate to the young Prince (the Duke of East Gothland) might be with drawn. The Diet having stood sponsors to the young Prince, it had been intended to purchase an estate as a present to him on the occasion. CHRISTIANIA, FEB. 6. M. N. H. Knudtson, in Christiania, has published the papers relative to his dismissal from the office of British Vice-Consul in that city. It appears that M. Knudtson, notwithstanding the King's proclamation of the 7th May, had taken an active part in the celebration of the anniversary of May 17, (that of the Constitution of Eidsvold.) In a letter to Mr. Durie, the British Consul at Drontheim, who, after a conversation with Count Wetterstadt, after his suspension from office, enquired respecting the report of his having kept the 17th of May, he replied, that he had done this, not as a British Consul, but as a Norwe gian, that nothing improper had taken place, but that in all that had passed, the toasts, &c. the celebration of the day was accompanied with expressions of the greatest re gard for the existing Constitution, with due respect for the King, and for the union with Sweden. M. Durie replied, that Lord Aberdeen was 'of opinion that M. K.'s statement ought not to induce him to refuse the applica tion of the Swedish Government to dismiss him. Mr. D. declines giving an opinion of the propriety or impro priety of this resolution; only be regrets on his own part the loss of an agent who has for 12 years given him so much satisfaction, by his activity and zeal, in every thing relative to the British interest. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 14. The commercial treaty between Denmark and Brazil, concluded at Rio de Janeiro on the 26th April, having been ratified by both the contracting parties, the ratifica tions were exchanged at Rio on the sth of November, last year. _ HAGUE, FEB. 24. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has given notice to the merchants and ship-owners that the report from Ports mouth of 7th Feb., according to which all the Barbary States had sent out cruisers, with directions to capture (among others) ships under the flag of the Netherlands, de serves no credit, as, by the last accounts from the Medi terranean, the Barbary Powers and Morocco were on the best terms with the Netherlands. We understand, that in consequence of the large number of voters who are expected to be present in Oxford, at the ensuing election for the University, Mr. PEEL'S Committee have felt it necessary to de tain coaches for the conveyance of his friends in all the principal towns, especially at Bath,Exeter, Chel tenham, and Birmingham. The Cabinet dinner, which was to have been given by Earl Bathurst on Wednesday, was postponed, in consequence of the Ministers attending the King's Court at Wind For on that day, and having received invitations to dine with his Majesty. Mr. Secretary Peel entertained a select party to dinner yesterday, at his residence in Privy-gardens. The Legal Commissioners of the West India Islands had a conference with Sir George Murray, at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon. The following is one of .the numerous squibs circulated at present in Oxford, and its neighbourhood : " Lost, on Sunday last, somewhere between the Wes leyan Ch ipel and All Saints' Church, a bundle of Sermons on the Advent of the New Jerusalem, a book of Hymns, and a list of voters who are unable to attend the election. Whoever will bring the above articles to Sir Robert Inglis' committee room, shall receive a handsome copy of the Four Evangelists bound in calf. " Angel Inn, High Street."

MODE OF OBTAINING AN ICE-WILL.—To obtain a good ice -well, you should choose a spot looking towards the north, the soil either sand, gravel, or chalk, wherein you can easily build a well which will drain itself, the water soaking into the soil by a waste well made under the other. An ice-well should be larger round than it is deep, for it is a common error to imagine that the deeper a well is, the better; on the contrary, we know that the water naturally runs toward the depth, and, drawing to wards the wells, penetrates through the brick-work, and produces a humidity that melts the ice. To avoid this, a good well should be built with double walls, at the distance of eighteen inches or two feet apart, and the interval between filled up with ashes, or any other matter of an absorbent quality. The well must be built with a domed top (like a soup tureen), and a hole in the centre left to receive the ice. Over the dome of brick work there should be a covering of earth, at least six feet in thickness, upon which a plantation may be formed, to keep off the sun's rays ; the hole in the centre of the dome should have a neck (like a large chimney-pot), se• cured with a strong cover of iron, running up through the superincumbent earth three or four feet, and should be kept always well covered with soil, and turfed over, as soon as the well is filled, to prevent any access of air in that direction.— At the side of the well, upon a line with the bottom of the dome, an entrance must be made to take out the ice ; it should consist of a porch with double (loots, the outer of which must be covered with straw, or thatched, and every crevice in both doors stopped up and made as air-tight as possible. A dry time ought to be chosen for filling the well ; the ice should be broken as small as possible, in order that it may reunite in the interior; and three or four men should be employed in levelling and pounding it, till the well is filled to the very top. If a long frost ensues, it should be filled up from time to time, as the ice first intro duced will diminish considerably in bulk as it forms itself into a compact mass, by freezing in the well. When the ice is taken out, every precaution should be adopted to prevent the rush of a volume of air into the well upon the opening of the doors. At first the ice must be taken out as it comes to hand, until the mass sinks to% level with the door ; but afterwards, by means of a ladder, it must be taken from the sides of the well, all round quite down to the bottom, leaving the centre to the last, which will be found solid and compact even in the midst of summer : if, on the contrary, the ice is first taken away from the middle, you disturb the body, and the air which introduces itself will destroy more than you consume. The first object, it must be always recollected, in preserving the ice in a well, is to keep it dry ; and if unfortunately the well is pieced is a soil that will not permit it to drain itself; a pump must be fixed on the outside to draw off the water accumulated in the waste well." We ought to arid, that this edition, besides other editions, contains, as the title announces, several new bills:of fare for the dessert.—Arrin's Italian Confectioner. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MURDER IN SHROPSHIRE. (From the Hereford Journal.) In a former Journal we stated the escape of John Evans alias Smallman, from our county gaol, and his perpetrating a robbery in Mr. Ballarsl's house, at Woodmington, after which it was supposed he had left this part of the kingdom : the supposition, how ever, was incorrect, as it has been ascertained he wa., lurking about this neighbourhood since his escape from gaol, and has at length committed a murder at Bishop's Castle, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. It appears that on Tuesday night, the 17th instant, he knocked at the door of a woman residing in the parish of Medley, and requested shelter for the night, explaining that he used to grind her corn for her at Poston mill—the woman immediately recognized him, refused admittance, and the next morning apprised a gentleman, residing th parish, of the circumstance. Probably, appre hensive that search would be made for him, .e Evans left the country, and on Friday evening,th 20th instant, entered a public-house at Bishop' Castle, in Shropshire, arid sitting down in the kitchen, called for some ale. His appearance created suspicion, and he was recognized by the landlord and his family, when he immediately rose and went towards the door; a young man, named Ed ward Richards, followed him into the yard, andlaid hold of the skirts of a blue frock lie wore, when the cowardly miscreant drew a pistol from under the frock, and shot the pcor fellow in the breast, who instantly fell, and has since died. He also snapped a pistol at another man, but it did not explode. In the confusion attendant on such a lamentable occur- , rence, and favoured by the darkness of the night, Evans escaped; but incredible as it may seem, he re- , turned to the yard about three o'clock on Saturday morning to search for the pistol he had dropped, and which had been previously secured. He again evaded pursuit, and that very night broke into the house of Mrs. Hotchkiss, at Church Stoke, Montgomeryshire, and also stole a grey horse from Mr. B. Hotchkiss, of the same place, on which he rode towards his haunts in this county as he was seen about five o'clock oil Monday evening, six miles from this city, on du, Hay-road; and on the circumstance being commu nicated to J. Tomkins, Esq. of the Wear, he imme , diately hastened to our worthy Mayor with the intelligence, who promptly ordered Mr.Garstone, the city beadle, and Mr. Whittaker, our city gaoler, in pursuit of Evans ; and they proceeded to Mr. Toni• kips, at the Wear, well armed; where, after concert ing with them the plan of operations, they crossed the river to the Lion Inn, at Madley, to remain till the morning. About three o'clock yesterday morn ing Mr. Tomkins went to the ferries over the Wye in his vicinity, where he ascertained a boat had been taken in the night from Byford ; he directly hastened to Madley, called up Garstone and Whit taker, and they proceeded to Mr. Frettwell, at Poston Lodge, who cheerfully joined them, and the party then went to a house on Vowchurch where a fellow named Wilson resided, and sur rounded it, so as to prevent any one escaping. Whilst the officers were endeavouring to gain ad mission at the front door, which was locked, Mr. Frettwell saw Evans at the back-room window—he levelled his double-barrelled gun at him, and gave notice that he was in the house, threatening to shoot him if he attempted to escape. The front door being opened, Whittaker proceeded tip stairs, opened the bed-room door, went into the bed-room, and behind the door found Evans in his shirt, with his waistcoat iii his hand, in the act of searching the pocket for a loaded pistol (the fellow of that he shot the person with at Bishop's Castle). Mr. Whittaker presented a pistol at his head, and, told him if he moved an inch he was a dead man. Mr. Tomkius, Mr. Frettwell, and Mr. Gar stone seized him, and handcuffed him in an in stant. They searched his pockets, and found seventeen sovereigns and some silver, a pistol, and six teaspoons, three marked T. H., one E. J., an other E., arid one plain, a silver watch, makers' names Pemberton and Co., Birmingham, No. 5983. A gun was found in the house loaded with ball, which Mr. Frettwell claimed as his property. They then lashed Evans and Wilson together, placed them in a cart, and brought them to the county gaol, where they delivered them. Every praise is due to the assistance and advice of Mr. Temkins, to whom the public are chiefly in debted for the apprehension of tins murderer, and also Mr. Frettwell, who acted in the most praise worthy manner, by rendering, in conjunctio3 with Mr. Fomkins, the excellent officers such able assistance. We sincerely trust the rewards offered for the apprehension of this desperate villain will be divided between Whittaker and Garstone, who so nobly risked their lives in securing this burglar, gaol-breaker, and mur derer, and Mr. Tomkins has signified the same sentiments. The c3ncourse of people assembled to see him brought through our city was immense ; the crowd was so great at the entrance of the bridge, that the cart was stopped to let the people make room for it to pass. LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Jane Byrne, (the prosecutor of Mr. Smith,) who was ordered to find bail, herself in 801. and two sureties of 401. each, to answer a charge of conspi. , racy, this morning attended in Court with two gen tlemen named Hurry and Gould, who offered them selves as her bail. After the usual questions had been put and satisfactorily answered, the bail was accepted and Byrne set at liberty. Mr. ALLEY said he could have successfully op posed the bail, the notice not being good, but it was not the wish of the prosecutor to keep the woman unnecessarily in gaol, he was disposed to act with lenity. The Learned Counsel would here take an opportunity of mentioning that the gen tleman who reported for the Tines news paper, had (he was sure unintentionally) misunder stood what he said at the Old Bailey. Any one reading the report in the Times of yesterday, would suppose that be had abandoned his client; he was made to say, " that after what had passed he would not any more appear for the prosecutor ;" now he never made any such observation. The fact was, he made an application without putting on his wig and gown; in short, he did not even take off his great coat, and the Court kindly permitted him to go on in that state, for which he expressed his thankfulness, and promised not to appear in such a state again; he would repeat he had no doubt it was an unintentional error, but it was one, if not contra dicted, calculated to do him a great injury; he had no doubt what he stated would obtain publicity. RECORDER-Mr. Alley, I should have thought that you had lived long enough in the world to know that we are all of us in our turns misrepresented in the newspapers. 1 have laboured under some in convenience myself in that way, I can assure you. — (Laughter.) The Clerk of the Arraigns said there were two indictments against Byrne which required separate bail. Mr. ALLEY—Oh; WC „•ill tale the same gentle men in both cases. Elizabeth Roebuck was then admitted to bail. One of the gentlemen who became her security was a Mr. Landseer, father (we believe) to the cele brated artist ; the name of the other we could not ascertain. Sarah Toinkins was indicted for keeping a dis ordel ly house. Mr. PHILLIPS, Counsel for the defendant, said she was willing to abate the nuisance, if the City would drop the prosecution. She was only the ser vant in the establishment, the real proprietor was named Moses. Mr. Alderman VENABLES thought it his duty to state that the defendant had been repeatedly warned, but she, like all others of a similar cast, stood out as long as possible, and before the prosecution was commenced, positively refused to give up the house ; he could not consent to drop the prosecution. —The case was then gone into, and the defendant found Guilty. The RECORDER sentenced her to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he hoped some of the real proprietors of this and several other infamous houses in the city, who were people of known pro perty, would be brought to justice, and that it would riot be necessary to indict their tenants. John Grey was indicted for assaulting his wife, Mary Grey. The prosecutrix, a miserable-looking old woman, said she had been married to the defendant twenty six years, and had several children by him; he was continually beating her. RECORDER—What for? Prosecutrix—Ok, .my Lord, he is so jealous of me; it is without any rea son, however. Defendant—Jealous, indeed, it is not that; it's because you won't dress sassages for me on a Satur day night.—(Laughter.) Verdict, Guilty.—One month's imprisonment. The Court then tried a few parish appeals, and afterwards adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of Foreign Wheat is again considerable: Of English and Irish Oats the quantity is good ; but the ar rivals of all other articles are short. The Wheat trade is heavy, but the factors will not submit to less prices than those of Monday for samples that are fine. Barley, Bans, and Pease, continue as last reported. Oats find some de mand at prices fully equal to the quotations of Monday. The Flour trade remains excessively dull. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. I Flour.

HOUSE OF LORDS. The LOhD CHANCELLOR. entered the House at a few minutes before Five o'clock. Lord ROLLE presented a ptiticn from Kingsbridge, Devon, against Emancipation. . . The Marquis of THONIOND presented two petitions from the county Cork, spinst Emancipation. Lord HARDWICKE presented a petition from the Stir geocs of the county of Cambridge, praying that their Lord ships would revise the laws for obtaining bodies for dis •ection. The Bishop of CIIICHESTEIt presented several peti tions against further concessions to the Catholics. The Earl of WINCHELSEA presented petitions against further concessions. The Noble Eng had alto a petition to present from Sir Harcourt Lees, praying that their Lordship would not grant further concessions until the Catholics had renounced allegiance to any foreign Power. The Earl of GUILDFORD presented a petition from Dover, agreed to at a public meeting, and signed by 1,560 persons, praying th It their Lordships would grant no further concessions to the Catholics, whose tenets they considered irreconeileable with civil liberty. No petition ft orn any town 4:onld be more worthy the consideration of the House than this. Not only on account of its commercial and local importance, but also for its uniform aitachment to the just prerogative of the Crawn. Previous to the opening of the present Session, the petitioners had abstained from all interference with the question; and it was . the recommendation alone advised by Ministers that had excited their apprehensions, and stimulated them to the present treasure. The Nobly Lord had carefully perused the petition, lie knew nothing of the subject of it till he had received the commission to present it to their Lordships. In doing - this he begged leave to say tlalt he concurred most heartily in the nature of its contents. He would not bias their Lordships either one way or the other, but would leave the petition to speak its own sentiments. He trusted that it would have due weight with their Lordships, and be the means of removing those terrors under which the petitioners at present laboured. The Earl of DARNLEY had understood the Noble Lord to say that the petition was the unanimous voice of Dover. _ _ _ Lord GUILDFORD observed that he Lad not said so. Lord DARNLEY had misunderstood the Noble Lord then. He himself had a petition from a number of free holders of that town, most numer3usly and respectably aigaed, of an apposite nature. He must however beg to say, that the petition presented by the Noble Lord (Guild ford) was any thing but the unanimous opinion of the in habitants of Dover, Lord GUILDFORD believed that the population of Dover at the last -census was estimated at, 5000. only 2000 of whom Btiff.. competent, he thought, to sign the petition. Now the Fire4nt petition, as he had before stated, was signed by upwards of 2500 persons. ...Lord KING believed the terrors which the Noble Lord (Guildford) had adverted to, were uaknown in this country, unsil the publication of a little work, called the Protestant Almanack, in 1680, two years after Titus Oates established the first Brunswick Club. That terror had been handed down f►om oue old woman to mother, till it had attained to that enormous height so which the Nohie Led hail alluded. He would entertain their Lordships with reading a story or two out of this notahlework. For inst ince. Pope Sylvester II gave himself to the devil, and wor,hipped him. Another Ecclesia-tic entertained the Devil at dice.—(Great laughter.) His Lordship went on to say, that he prized this work, otherwise he should feel diaposed to make a present cf it to some of the Brunswick Lord GUILFORD was very much obliged to the IsTnble Lord for his amusinz stories, but did net feel disposed to give then the appellation cf chi wooien's. Lord DACRE pt .z . fiented a petition from Ruyston, in fa vour of tht Catholic Claims. The Marquis of CLANRICAItDE presented several pe tions, praying further concessions to the Catholics, and the repeal of the Sublettirg Act. The Doke of DEVO'NSIIIRF. presented petitions from the tnitarian Chapel of Beevet, from Milford, fur repeal of the laws against the Roman Catholics. The Bishop of LINCOLN presented a petition against the Catholic Claims from the Deanery of Beckingham, gaol ;wo other Deaneries. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE had on a former night presented to their Lordships' House a petition, professing to come from a person named Watson, an Alderman of the city cf Limerick. He hid since ascertained that this petition was a forgery, and contended as a hoax upon the petitioner. His Lordship had since written to the individual, disclaiming all knowledge of it. —Since that three other letters had reached his Lordship, on the same subject, hut all infferent hand-writing. The question for their Lordships then was, whether this gught to be considered as a Breach of Privilege, or whether, as be conceived it was not too contemptible to call for any further consideration. The Earl of LIMERICK said, that when the Noble Lord (Downshire) had spoken to him on the subject of that petition, he (the Earl of Limerick) was con vinced that it was nothing but a hoax ; however, he w is not disposed to treat it so lightly as the Noble Lord had done, being, as he conceived, a violation of the respect due to the House. He hail a letter from the individual whose name had been made use of, which he would read as a part of his speech. [Alderman Watson'. letter denied all knowledge of the petition.] The Earl of Limerick, in conclusion, said that he had no motion to make on the subject, being satisfied to leave it in their Lordships' dis cretion to dispose of it in whatever way appeared consist ent with the respect due to the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question, whe ther or not this attempt to impose on ;Noble Peer should or should not be treated as a breach of privilege. The majority of their Lordships were of opinion that it was unworthy of further consideration. The Earl of LONGFORD defended himself from the charge that was made against him last night by a on the opposite of the House (Lord Plunkett). That Noble Lord had spoken in favour of the Catholic Associa tion, and had condemned the Brunswick, but he (Lord L.) thought there was a vast distinetien between them, the one being established for the preservation of the Constitution, whilst it overthrow and subversion was the manifest object of the ether. His Lordship then adverted to the period when that Noble Lord was Attorney-General for Ireland, contending generally that, in that character, lie bad neglected his duty in scspect to the pulling down an As riocsation which spread sedition through the Country. The Noble Lord concluded by presenting three petitions against the Catholic Claims. Lord PLUNKETT rose to defend himself from the at via of the Noble Earl, and was left speaking. HOUSE OF COMMONS The Srza IC ER took the chair at tea; minutes before Four o'clock. Sir GEORGE HILL brought in a Bill for the regula tion of the Police of Londonderry.—Read a first time. Mr. BYNG brnught in a Bill for building "a bridge across the River Thames, at Staines, and for making proper approaching streets. Sir J. NICHOLL presented a petition from the Mayor and Burgesses of Marlborough against the Catholic Claims. Marquis CHANDOS presented a petition from Chip ping Wycombe and another place in the county of Btrks against any further concessions:to the Catholics.--Also a similar petition from Towcester, and four other places in the county of Buckingham. . _ Major-Gen.tK ING presented a petition from two parishes in the county of Sligo, praying that no political power might be granted to the Roman Catholics. Mr. DOHERTY presented four petitions from places in the county of Louth, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. PRITTIE presented eleven petitions from the Roman Catholics of Roscommon, andother places, in favour of Emancipation. Mr. BELL presented two petitions from places in Cumberland, against the Catholic Claims. Lord HILL presented a petition from Louth, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. FITZGIBBON presented a petition from a parish in the county of Limerick, in favour of concessions to the Catholics. Mr. DUGDALE presented nine petitions from places in the county of Warwick against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics; he entirely agreed with the prayer of the petitioners, and truced that the constitution of the country would not l e changed. Mr.- LYTTLETON presented a petition from Harling ston, in the county of Suffolk, against the Catholic Claims. Mr. MUNDAY presented three petitions from places in the county of Derby against the Catholic Claims. The Hon. Member said ever since he had had a seat in that House he had voted in unison with the prayer of the peti tioners, And nothing that had taken place had in the least changed his opinin, he should when the measure was brought forward vote as he always had done. Colonel LYGON presented a petition against the C•mtho lie Claims from some place the name of which we conk! not catch. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER presented a petition from the inhabitants of Gloucester against any further conces sion.; to the Roman Catholics, and on Tuesday next he should have to present another, as he understood, very numerously and respectably signed. The Hon. Member said he was afraid to contemplate the consequences that would entitle if Catholics were admitted into Parliament. On the mrtion that the petition he printed, Mr. HUME said he thought no Member bad expressed himself an strongly against the proposed measure as the Hon. Member for Gloucester; he had a right certainly so ' to do, but he (Mr. Hume) was itti'ormed that the lion. Member's speech had been printed and very industriously circulated in Gloucester and its vicinity, and was posted up in all the public rooms. He (Mr. IL) said when pe titions of this nature were presented, to the !Italie, it ought, to be stated whether any measures had been rssorted to, to inflame the public mint!. Let the peti tions that were presented be spontaneous, and they would be respected by the House. lie was informed that time petition which the Honourable Member would present on Tuesday will have the signatures of people never before heard of in that part of the neighbourhood—(hear),—it had been agreed to several days since, and separate sheets of paper were sent in all directions to obtain signatures, which were to he attached to the Gloucester petition.— There was no place where petitions had come from, leas worthy of credit than those from the neighbourhood of Gloucester. He should oppose the petition being received on Tuesday next, except as the petition of the undersigned. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER was not aware of any in flammatory baragues to which the Hon. Member had al luded, anti with respect to the printing of his speech,it was published by an individual without his knowledge. The Hon. Member then presented a similar petition from Swaf fam, in the county of Gloucester. In answer to a question front Lord JOHN RUSSELL, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that some one of his Majesty's Ministers would, on Thursday next, state to the House the details of the measures intend ed to be brought in for the relief of the Roman Catholics. [LEFT arrrlxo.] • It will be seen by our report Gf the Oxford elec tion, that the exertions of Sir R. Inglis's friends have produved a small majority on the first day's poll. We would therefore urge these friends of Mr. Peel, especially those in London who are con fident of success, to imitate the zeal and energy of the adversary's party, and to share, by their perSonal presence, in that triumph of a just cause, which may indeed be achieved without them, but to which it will be a distinguished honour to have contri buted. They could never forgive themselves if any want of active co-operation on their part should lead to an unfortunate result. Let them be stirring and early in the field, and success is certain. The elec tion may continue till to-morrow, but cannot continue longer.—Times, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Alessager des Chambres of Tuesday.) PARIS, FEB. 23.—The Berlin Gazette contains the official bulletin of the taking of Kali by the Russians. Some German journals have asserted that the Russians had abandoned that post after having made themselves masters cf it. This is in correct. The tower of Kali is still in the hands of the Imperial troops, only Generals "Mali..ofski and Bergmann have not judged it necessary to leave in that fete-de-pont all the troops that were employed in taking it. In consequence two of the Russian divisions have rearmed their positions farther back, and support the corps left at Kali. Yesterday, before mass, the Papal Nuncio pre sented to his Majesty, in a private audience, the letter of the Sacred College, announcing the death of Pope Leo XII. The English Ambassador at P::ris despatched, the evening before yesterday, an extraordinary courier to Corfu. The uncertainty ‘vhich prevails rcFpecting the de tails of the events at Mexico, must soon cease. A packet-boat, No. 1, Captain Duprat, arrived in the river of Bordeaux on the 20th instant, and the news which it brings will be kno►rn to-morrow at Paris. The private correspondence of the Precursettr gives the following news from Toulon, dated Feb. 16 : " On board the Dido frigree, which sailed lately, there were five young Greeks as passengers, who it is said did not consent to return to their own country except on the formal assurance given them by the Government, that the three allied Powers would defend against every aggression the provinces forming the free state of Greece, according to the boundary line drawn by the Ambassadors, and that the organization of the Greek Government would be always under the protection of France. " But little news is received from Greece. It is announced that Colonel Fabvier proceeds with astonishing activity in the organization of the Greek Moreote troops. Those which are already equipped are sufficient to garrison the fortresses of the Morea; the others will be employed in expeditions against the neighbouring provinces which are still in the power of the Turks." (From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.) The news of the suspension of the evacuation of be Morea by our troops is again circulated to-day. . - FRENCH FUNDS, PARIS, FEB. 24.—Five per Cents., 110 f. 35c. 30c. ; Three per Cents., 76f. 75c. 70c. 75c. ; Bank Actions, 1,8115 E ; Naples Stock, 81f. 25c. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 79k; flaytian Loan, 530 E—Exchange an London, one month, 25f.

MARRIOTT and WHITE, with atrsaulting his landlady, Mrs. Fitkins, of No. 5, Marsham-street, Westminster. The complainant, it appeared, was a 'Went anti-Ca tholic, and the defendant was a strong advocate for Catho lic emancipation, from which arose the following assault. Mrs. Fitkins stated, that the defendant was one of her lodgers, and about ten o'clock o❑ the previous evening he flew at her in her room and struck her several blows,when she was forced to call for assistance and lodge him in the 7vatch-house. Mr. MAaalnrr —How came you to assault your land lady in this manner ? " Your worship," replied William Clay, " its all owing to this Catholic question. I have balged with Mrs. Fitkins six years and three months last Saturday, and we have always been goal friends until there has been all this talk about the Catholic question, but ever since that has been brought forward we have bad nothing but disputes on the point. She wsnts to convert me to her opinion an the subject and the "No Popery cry," and I won't have it, but stick to my own." The Magistrates (laughing) observed there was a great difference of opinion on the subject, and they were sorry it should create a disturbance in families. " Your Worship," said Williem Clay, " I have never had a moment's peace in the house ever since the meeting of Parliament. My landlady is on one aide of the question and I on the other." .Mr. MARRIOTT.—That is very unfortunate. I think you had better part, if you cannot live on amicable terms. " On amicable terms while this Catholic question is the talk, it is impossible!" replied William Clay. "Last night I was reading attentively, when I and my landl tdy, Mrs. Fitkins, began the old dispute, and a pretty strong argument we had of ir. I thought I had partly convinced her she wan wronz, when she flew at me, snatched the book out of my hand, capsized the table, and I own, in the defence of my own opinions on the subject, I did give her a rap or so." Hera Mrs. Fitkins and William Clay commenced an argument on the Catholic question, and it might have lasted until doomsday before either was convinced, but they were quickly cut short by the Magistrates, who did not appear to have any wish for the discussion. Mrs. Firkins, on being questioned by the Magistrate, did not deny but the disputes on the Catholic questitin with her lodger had been the origin of the assault, as he was such an obstinate man, and there was no convincing him with all the argument in the world. Win. Clay—Nat with such arguments as you hold, Mrs. Fitkins, for I am of opinion, and I will put it to their Worships, that— Here the defendant was stomped in his argument by the Magistrates. Mrs. Fitkins began to reply on the Catholic question, when she was :dm stopped, and Win. Clay undertook, before the Magistrates, to leave Mrs. Fitkins's lodgings, and not argue the Catholic question with her any more.— With this understanding the case was dismissed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Nightin gale, and Chas. Pearson. Our party, consisting of three coaches, left Puebla, for Vera Cruz on Saturday morning the I.sth of November (1828.) The two first coaches, having better mules, soon left us behind, and we remained separate for the rest of the day. At about half-past three in the afternoon, as we entered a small baranca, between Acajeta and Amosoque, six or seven leagues from this city (Puebla) Mr. Neville and myself had the front seats in the coach ; the back seats being occupied by Don Juan Rodriguez and his family, consisting of a sister, a nurse, and three children. Overcome by the sultriness of the after. noon I had fallen asleep in rny corner of the coach, when loud shouts from the front suddenly awoke me, and immediately five or six figures on horseback, and masked, appeared around the coach, two of whom, at Mr. Neville's side, demanded with loud threats our surrender. My pistols were lying on the cushion, and taking aim at one of the figures I shot him dead on the spot. In an instant his companion was at the front, and he shared a similar fate from my other pistol. A pause of about one minute now succeeded, which 1 suppose arose from surprise at the sudden repulse. Another loud shout was, however, raised, and about twenty or thirty horsemen, similarly masked, in a few moments sur rounded the carriage. Three successive vollies were then fired into it; after which, when the smoke cleared away, I found that Mr. Neville bad been shot through the head, and Don Juan Rodriguez through the heart. I cannot myself say whether Mr. Neville fired his pistols or not; he might have done so during the vollies that were fired by the second and larger party of robbers ; anti the sister of Don Juan Rodriguez has since informed me that he actually did so, and killed or wounded one or two of them. When the robbers had ceased firing, they demanded delivery of our arms. I had scarcely complied with this demand, when I received a shot in my side and fell. The brigands then drove the carriage, with shut curtains, for about the space of an hour, but whether it was in the right road, or in any byepath, I was unable to determine. All this time I was bleeding profusely, though. endeavouring as much as possible to stop the orifices of my wounds by pressing my clothes against them.• At length, we arrived at a sort of plain, where the robbers caus ed the carriage to be stopped, and dragging .out our bodies threw them on the ground, and proceeded to ransack our equipage. Nothing appeared to attract their attention except money or jewellery. Having obtained all that could be found, they commenced searching. out persons for ounces. All my endea vours failed in concealing I was still alive. One, man, in particular, asked the nurse who it was that fired, and I was pointed out as the person. Not withstanding the entreaties of his comrades, this fel low dragged me from beneath the dead bodies, and I had scarcely time to cover my chest with shoulder and hand, when I received a number of successive stabs directed towards the heart. At this moment, however, the cry of people, who appeared at a short distance, caused the banditti to moan their horses, and gallop off; but they left two of their num ber behind, for what purpose - I know not. These fellows searched our bodies. a second time, but discovered nothing at • all, .except that I was still alive. They then consulted whether to spare my life or not, seeing they had not found the money of the English heretics. They inquired of the women where it was placed, to which the latter answered Abet they did not know. I thought it high time to inform them where mine was to be found, upon the condition of their sparing my hip; and they, having obtained the money,. and the strangers appearing close in sight, mounted their horses and rode off. We remained upon the spot about two hours, waiting the arrival of the Alcalde of Acajete, who took an inventory of all the impels and articles found upon the person of Mr. Neville. I do nat know in what manner the bodies were conveyed to Acajete. I have since heard that Mr. Neville's body was interred near the village, and that a cross either is, or is about to be, placed to mark the spot. As the articles of Mr. Neville, Don Juan Rodriguez, and . my own were mixed and packed into different boxes, Don. Manuel Espinoza, belonging to the other coach, took charge of the whole until their arrival in Vera Cruz, where I requested he would separate each, and deliver Mr. Neville's to the house of Tayleur and Co., as the most proper persons, having heard Mr. Neville men tion that firm in some business he had to do there. The reason of their not being h ft with me was, that the family of Don Juan 'Rodriguez insisted on their being taken along with them, on account of the mixture of the articles.—Mexico, With Nov. 1828. This ist the interesting narrative dictated by Mr. Dickson, ten days after his miraculous escape from the hands of these ferocious brigands. We are enabled, however, to give a few additional particu lars from a letter by his amiable and accomplished sister, which now lies before us. After the ban- MEXICAN BANDITTI. NARRATIVE OF AN ATTACK ON MESSRS. DICKSON AND NEVILLE, BY ROBBERS NEAR PUEBLA, IN AIEXICO, As TAKEN BY Dn. JENKINS FROM Ma. DICKSON ' S DIC- TATION.

The abstract idea of a book-engraving is an in vention of the devil ; who, by the way, in all the illustrated copies we have seen of the Bible and " Paradise Lost," is amply ptinished for the device. The business of a book-engraving, in general, we take to be this : it is meant to serve.the purpose of introducing a salutary fretfulness und disagree ment into the- intercourse of author and reader. If the reader of an "illustrated" volume is so impru dent as to frame for himself, from the hints of the writer, a vivid picture of a man or an occurrence, let him but look to the frontispiece, and we will bet all Mr. Westall's designs to the dullest of . Cruick shanks' scratchings, that he will cry to sleep again, he will find a London school-miss instead of Miranda, or a Prospero evidently imitated from that great conjuror, Mr. Cobbett. A book-engraving, above all other engines, is powerful to stuff out the insignificant, and degrade the lofty, to change what is universal, as containing more life than aliy thing else, into that which is common-place, as containing less. It renders the individual and peculiar, general and indiscriminate. It has the true art of mutations to change peasants into stage-players, - and gentle men into clowns. It makes Don Quixote what all his madness could not make him, vulgar and contemptible; it gives us, for the Duke and Duchess, the Duke and Duchess. of St. Albans, and plunders Sancho's face of. all its proverb honoured wisdom. How many a gay creature .of the element has a book-engraving' changed into a Caliban ! How many a band of heroes hath it, like Collins, converted into swine! Itow • many a fair lady of song bath it smitten, in the turning of a page, with leprosyiand deformed with affectation: 'I he burin is the true Ithuriers spear to give us fiends fur angels; it is the real sword of war, which desolates fair landscapvs into wildernesies. At its touch the butterflies of poetry grow back to grubs- Egyptian-like, it seats its skeletons beside its gay and revelling thoughts, and mocks us with the con trast. It takes us from the pleasant gardens and the stately chambers of the fancy to . a region of shadows and monsters ; and a bookseller stands warder at the gate, and tells us, forsoOth, - that we must pay for adMittance. Thank Heaven! . there . are cheap and unillustrated editions of Shakspeare. We are not, always compelled to put tip with a coal heaver instead of Orlando, and be content to think Beatrice a hoyden ; or, rather, those resplendent beings are not doomed to be always followed by the grimaces and screamings of the apes and pea cocks from the engraver's Tarshish. We are some times allowed to read Homer without being-told that a sac-simile of Thersit es is:a portrait of Achilles and to see Nausicaa at the river in another likeness than that of a modern washerwoman. Praise be to the Bible Society, praise to the folios of 'Our fathers!, that there are Bibles without engravings; . thiit we still think of Moses pointing to the brazen serpent, as somewhat differen. in look and bearing from a showman-at the Tower ; and that we- yet conceive the form of Christ as rather that of a carpenter than a Saviour. There are many persons, no doubt, who would derive no image whatever of an author's meaning from his writing; and for these we suppose it is that book-engravings are peculiarly intended. And in these cases, undoubtedly, they are generally such us exhibit a wise adaptation of means to ends.- Minds that can make to themselves, by the aid of . books, no notion of any thing that is in nature, are very fit to be entertained by sketches of what is completely unnatural. We would suggest,.: that even fot such people it is needless to connect the picture with the book, as a- volume is rather a clumsy frame for a copper-plate. Buff& this class, of readers the greate s t possible difference' bet Ween the author's mind and the artist's is of no import ance whatever. If, indeed, . they could suspect, foea moment that there is a similarity of intention be tween the anthor's mind and the artist's,-the conse quence would be a trouldesome and futile attempt -to ,trace out the connection, and a great deal of time would be vainly wasted in an enterprise which from the first would, for the greater part of the- "reading public,"‘ be absolutely desperate. But there is in truth no such danger. - And in this point of View we have always particularly admired fi Boydell'o - Shakspeare Gallery," which exhibits on a large. scale the forms and gestures of certain fantastic be ings a; amusing as the fantoccini, or the dancing dogs, or learned cats ; and whose identity with the " line spirits" of the poet will never for an instant be questioned by our unsuspicious public.--Athenceunt. • - THE MARKETS.

It is quite in another style and spirit fro ,n that of the great mass of our modern biographi cal book-wrights. A juster praise I cannot give it than this, that so far as the materials at the author's command allowed, the work is worthy of its great subject. This, to you, will appear much —fur you know I almost idolize Mr. Burke ; but I speak deliberately. * His (the writer's) principles are excellent ; moderate without tame ness ; liberal without compromise. His style of composi tion, chaste, easy, and simple—no effort at fine writing, yet often a glow of natural eloquence. Throughout there is a justness of view, and a vein both of moral and ica philosophy, which there ought to be in him polit ica l h 'he life of a great philosophic statesman." \VESSELS' JESUIT'S DROPS, AND SPECIFIt, REMEDY.

HITECROSS-STREET PRISON The Court of Requests' warrants are daily crowd ng this prison with unfortunate individuals. Some days ago a poor woman, named Elizabeth Caisley, was arrested for the sum of Is, 3id., awl locked up. The costs amounted to five times the amount of the debt, and th e p risoner was actually, when she en• tered the prison, without the means of buying a morsel of bread. The sentence is twenty days' im prisonment, and while she remains in prison the city incurs an expellee for her maintainance of 7ii. per week. On the same day were locked up two la bouring men, who were taken awy from su thei wThe ork, a nd whose places are permanenatly pplied r . debt of the one is 14s. 7d., and that of the other is Ss. 2d. The costs upon the three arrests amount to 11. 2s. 6d., and they arc preparing to join their fa milies, who have been since their confinement living upon parochial bounty. Even the common turnkeys about the prison are shocked at e the inhuman man ner in which Court of Requests' creditors, especially the tallymen, exercise the dreadfulpower with which the law arms them. There are now between 90 and 10 0 of those p oor insolvents in the prison. In the last twelve months, 1,500 had to pay paltry b ut it sums by impriso nment for certain periods ; happens that the Corporation of London has not only to feed but to nurse numbers of the poor debtors, and frequently the expense incurred in me dicines far exceeds the amount of the debts for w hich the patients are imprisoned. Aldermi an Wood and Mr. Hume are, we are informed, obtan ing information through the country relative a t the to the p r ocesses issued from those Cowls ; and, commencement of the Session, a m easure is to be rliament, for doing a way with ar rest su bmitted to Pa 'ar small debts under any circumstances. ----........ PUBLICANS AND SINNERS.—A breach ot the r7th commandment has just taken place at Faringdon, a nd occasioned no little sensation amongst us, --the gallant gay Lothario took advantage of the temporary absence commy o 1 his fair rib , who was on a visit to her relations, to this heinous sin.—Berks Chronicle. ircuit Court " Salvation ! Let the echo fly The spacious earth around ; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound." The Rev. J. M o ND AY, a Missionary from Chinsurab, in the East Indies, seconded the Resolution. Ile bad been told in London, not to waste the time of a Meeting in discus sing the importance and necessity of all persons uniting to promote the interest of societies for the conve rsion of the e h e athen, but to state at once what bad already be d for the salvation of t hose benighted people, an d to en shone to what extent the societies already formed had been suc cessful. The first o bject had been to establish Schools ; it was with great difficulty the Gospels and other books could be introduced into these establishments but such had been the change, that they had since been sought after with the greatest avidity. In scarcely any of the schools, for a length of time after they were instituted, did th 80 e n umber of boys exce ed 30 ; they average now, from to 160 ; equal success had also attended the Schools esta. blished for the instruction of Adults. 11light they not then say, they had not laboured in vainall , or the spent diff th e rent eir s trength for nought. The chapels in s t a tions were well fi lled with attentive hearers, and the prejudices that fo rmerl y existed were rapidly dying away. It ight trul be said " the fields were white already unto he m harvest." y lle w ould now re late an a necdote to the t deaf and dumb from his birth, meeting t a little b o y , was questioned t,y two ladies who visited the asylum, ire specting his knowle d g e of God—to all of which questons be wrote on a slate char and ho made you deaf and satisfactory a nswers.dumb They then said, " My li ttle boy, w?" lie appeared at first offend Fed ather, with tfor i he qt appeared uestion, bu go od in t after wards wrote " Eve n so, 0 thy sight."--(Cheera.)— He (the Rev. society.Gntleman) could assure them eeting that the state of in Calcutta had very much altered within the last few years, there were now Alissionary Societies in that city, at which considerable sums were raised yearly ; the Government were very favourably disposed, and several members of the Supreme Council, Judges, together with the Officers of the Army, regularly attended their evening worship—but he felt con vinced there was no occasion to tell them these things to stimulate them to liberalityvein all the places he had frequented large collections had been made, but he could not conclude without relating one striking instance of zeal for the missionary cause that occurred at Maidstone. A poor labouring man, as he passed the - plate, with tears in his eyes dropped five shillings into it, and the next morn ing when he (Mr. Mundy) was at breakfast, the oor fellow again made his appearance, and said, " 0, Si p ! I could not test satisfied without bringing you five shilliogs more it is all that I can afford, having a wife and six small children dependin on me for support, and I can only get twenty shillings snagek." The Rev. Gentleman related seve ral other anecdotes, a mongst which was one o f a m ilitary officer , w ho from embarrassed circumstances could not give money, and had therefore sent his sword and helme t to the Society for the purpose of their being sol for the benefit of its funds; and another, of a village in Kent, where he was preaching sometime sin eared so ce—ca or sting hi d s eyes roun d on the congregation, thy app po an miserable that he thought no c ollection ought to be made, but what was his surprise when he was afterwards in formed that those wretched creatures mo d ha ing con th at tribute the d between '7l. and Si.

He bad listened with delight to the last speaker, and be (Mr. B.) could bear witness to the truth of thenteresting facts be had detailed. Ile had il company w his Rev. Friend visited the school:, and knew well the exertions of the Missionaries, and be could assure the in meeting theret eir succes s might truly have been de glowing colours. The natives of the East were now kneeingfuly convinced of the folly and sin of bowing the idolatry. In the Presidency of Madras great good had been achieved ; but for further particulars on this interest ing subject he would refer them to the last report of the Missionary Society. The speaker then proceeded to re late the success that had attended the anal other the Ailbus sionaties in the Sout h Sea Islands, and ther parts an outline —t our space will not allow of our giving even of his address.

On Monday afternoon, the ,meeting which ba d wa s held in the b ee n adjourned fro m Thursday Market. place, Barnsley. It was calculated that there were nearly 1,000 persons present. It was moved by W i l liam Ashton, and seconded by Patrick Flanigan , that Samuel Hoyle was a fic and proper person to take the Chair. The motion having been put and carried unanimously, The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed he meeting He considered it a v ery great honour tto be selected to preside over such a me eting. He considered • the poor of a country as the strength of that country. Though they were met there to discuss the differ ences at present subsisting, between the manufac turers and their workmen, they were not tied exactly to confine th e mselves to such a discussion, but ight go to the source from w hence their griev m ances flowed. , FRANK M IRFIEL D hoped the weaverse read in the would never suffer a reducti on of their wKes. H public prints that the Duke of Wellington was g oitee t o Doncaster r aced. He was Prime Minister and received a• large s alary; it would . therefore be ad visable to sen d over a few persons to represent to him personally the distresses o f Barnsley, and to so licit his Grace's benevolent assistance towards alle viating it. He did not think be would give a great deal away, but it would try what sort of stuff he was made of. There w ere at present for '2whoo a t they or 300 , weaver s at Doncast er, looking out could get, and if the deputation was refused by the Duke, they could look for a little assistance froro their fellow townsmen. He. concluded by proposing - the following resolution, which Wit 3 seconded by Richard Jackson, and carried unanimously " That it is the opinion of this 3leeting that a deputa. • . that should be appointed to wait on his Grace the Duke of W e llington at Doncaster, to represent to his Grace the distressed state of Barnsley, and to solicit his Grace's be, nevolent assistance ; and also to pray him to institute an inquiry into the cause of the presen t de p ressed state of coin. merc e and trade. RICHARD JACKSON thought it would be desirable to send a deputation to Doncaster.

The mo tion being seconded, was carried PATRICK FLANIGAN then proposed that a deputa tine should be sent to the different towns where the linen trade was carried on, for the purpose of ascer taining the rate of wages which they were respec tively paying. In the c ourse of his observations, he incidentally dropped a recommendation to them to send a deputation to the masters, to see what they would do. This remark was met by cries of ." We will have the list price and n othing else."—" Itsbad enough that." FLANIGAN—I do not want any thing else. Considerable noise having taken place, the Chair man rose to order. FLANIGAN then proposed the following Resolution : " That a deputation be appointed to go to Wigan, Manchester, Darlingtoa, Knaresboough, Leeds, Brunton, York, Scc., to procure front those towns as exact a hat of the prices that they are paying as can be procured, a nd to report the same to. a meeting, which shall be called imtne diately on their return." This Resolution was carried by a large majority. RICHARD JACKSON proposed the four following persons to form the proposed deputations :—James Ashurst, John Valiance, Thomas Murray, and An drew Smith. The Resolution was then carried almostnst uit.nani mously, three hands only being held up agai The CHAIRMAN announced to the Meeting that it would be adjourned till Monday next.

The following is a copy of the memorial presented to his Grace the Duke of Wellingtanswe y r, of which on, b the Barns- ley deputation, with his Grace's the subjoined is a copy : " TO THE LORD NOBLE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, FIRS T L COMMISSIONER OF lIIS MAJESTY'S TREASURY, &C. ' " May it ple ase y our Grace,—The distressed and suffering linen-weavers of Barnsley humbly beg leave to approach your Grace for the purpose of laying before you the deplorable situation toresent which your memor ialists are reduced by the p un paralleled stagnation in every branch of the trade, manufactures, and commerce of this county, and particularly to state, that from concurring causes, their misery has become so great as to deprive them of most of the necessaries of life. " Your memorialists humbly state, that the remu - nera tion for labour has, for several years, been gra dually decreasing--3o much so, that the labouring population of the town of Barnsley c annot, as a body, at the present price of labour, procure what is necessary for the maintenance of themselves and families ;—that, at present, a further diminution of labour is proposed by several of the principa lows l manu ate - f ac turers of the town, but that the present of wages is suchlas to disincline your memorialists from consenting to, or being able to endure, any further reduction. " To enable your memorialists to withstand a further reduction of their wages, a trifling contribu tion from your Grace would be received with grad.; tude, but your examinesmorialist are more a nxious that you would carefully into the causes which so extensively operate in lessening the demand for labour, and which bring in their train poverty, misery, and wretchedness among all classes. " Your memorial ists be g to state a fact, for the consideration of your Grace, that since the princi ples of ' free trade' have been in operation, the trade of the town has been declining, and although there has been a greater exportation's f linen goods under the new policy, yet the q tity of goods manufactured had been gradually decreasing so that at this period, notwithstanding the increase of the export trade, ther t more than two-thirds the n tity of goodse manufactured which w ere before qua the new policy was introduced. " The public calenders where the goods are a finished bear d Wr e tc h e d nes s nco of yourble evidence of this fact, and the hunger nalists are additional testimony. " May it therefore please your Grace to ascertain whether it be not more the interest of this n ation t 3 have sure mid regular employment for its own labourers at home, by a natural demand for their own manufactured goods, rather than pursue a system 1 which deprives the labourers of England of the labour of consuming the produce of their own labour, and which only offers an u ncertain, and, sometimes, ruinous trade abroad. " And your memorialists will ever pray. " Signed by the-Chairman in behalf of the meeting." THE DUKE'S ANSWER. " The puke of Wellington received the deputa tion from the Barnsley weavers very graciously, and after expressing his regret at the outrages that had been committed, and his sympathy in the distress of the weavers and their families, he assured there that their memorial should be laid before the Board of Trade, by whom it would receive due consideration, and that they should hear from him speedily."

RUS9AN BITEA,ETIN. BERLIN, SEPT._ 13. DETAILED REPORT OF THE OCCUPATION OF ADRIAN OM BY THE RUSSIAN ARMY. llead-quarters in the Palace of the Old Seraglio (Eski Scrai), at Adrianople, the 9th (21st) Aug., 1829. After the dispersion of the Turkish corps at Sr limn°, and after the army had taken only- one day's rest at Jambol, the Commander-in-Chief continued his operations with renewed activity. On the 4th (16th) August the 7rh corps of the army arrived by forced marches at Hassanbeili, on the Tundscha, and the 6th and 2d corps, with the head-quarters, at Papaskioi. On the sth (17th) the 7th corps an ived at Kutschnk-Derbent, and the Gth and 2d, with the head-quarters, at Bujuk- Derhent. Notwithstanding the extraordinary heat of an un commonly hot summer, of a narrow and rocky road, and of a country more difficult to pass than the llalkan, our brave troops bore with admirable pa tience the faticue of the rapid march. The column of General Count Pahlen and General Roth did not arrive at Bujuk-Derbent till late in the 9i%.0t of the .sth (17th.) of August. Notwith t,tAnding the vanguard of General Schiroff advanced to Ilanti-Enedsche, after a march of .50 wersts, it detached 200 Cossacks towards Amantkioi, five wtrsts from Adrianople. ..At some distance from Hami-Enedsche the Cos , aeks kit in with 700 Turkish cavalry, who were immediately broken, loiing 52 men, killed, a standard, and 4-1 , prisoners. The remainder were driven under the walls of the town. The Turkish troops and the inhabitants of Adrian ,ople on the 19th of August, the columns of our 'army descend the heights of Bujuk-Derhent, and opproach the city by the roads from Hanti•Enedsche and Arkbunar, The Commander-in-Chief ordered the second corps to encamp at a short distance from Eski-Eerai. The regiment of Schlersselberg occupied a com manding eminence to the left of this position, at the foot of sAich passes the great toad front Bujuk_ Derhent to Adrianople. The 6th corps was placed on the second line, the head-quarters established near Tschiflik, on the Tundschrt, raid the seventh corps forming the third line encamped behind Tschiflik. Al: the three corps had their right flank on the Tundscha. The Cossacks of General Schiroff took possession of all the heights around Adrianople. The regiment of Ilgin sent out parties even to the road from Adrianople to Constantinople. The Commander-in-Chief and Adjutant-General Count Toll, accompanied only by their Staff, rode towards the place, and reconnoitred the ground and the enemy's works, riding round the greater parts of The city. The General immediately determined all the points of attack, and the movements which the columns were to make at the (lawn of day. Adrianople has 80,000 inhabitants, including about 40,000 Mussulmans : from 10 to 15,000 of the latter were well armed, The Turkish corps col lected to defend the city consisted of 10,000 re gular infantry, 800 or 1,000 cavalry, and some thou sand men hastily assembled from the neighbouring districts. The ground is well calculated for an obstinate re sistance, intersected by deep ditches and numerous gardens. The position of the Turkish batteries was %veil chosen; some of them were not completed, and no haste had been made to do so, because no one in Adrianople thought he would have to fight the next morning. The illusion which so many centuries of security had excited was so glee, that many even of the commanders doubted the possibility of seeing the Russian army at the gates of their ancient capital. The rapidity of our marches of 30 to 35 worsts and our sudden appearance before the place, had almost the effect of enchantment on the Paellas, the Turkish troops, and the inhabitants. Three great roads were still open for their retreat; but the idea of flight di,' not eren occur to them. The Commander-in-Chief had not yet returned from reconnoitering, when the Deputies of the Seraskier, Ilaiil Pacha, and Ibrahim Pacha (both of three tails), of the Governor of Adrianople, NVadziki Mehemed Paella, and of Schesik Ali Pacha, of two tails, with the deputies of the chief inhabitants of the city, had arrived at the Russian advanced posts to propose a capitulation. The Com mander-in-Chief signified to them, through the Chancellor of State, Mr. A. Fonton, that they must deliver up their arms, artillery, standards, provisions, and ammunition—in a word, every thing belonging: to the Ottoman Government ; that on those con ditions he would allow the Pachas and their troops to return to their homes, provided they did not take the road to Constantinople. The irregular troops and the inhabitants were also required to lay down their arms, to remain in Adrianople, and continue to follow their trade and all lawful and pacific business, under the protection of the law and the existing Courts of Justice. Mr. Fonton was farther in structed to declare to the Deputies, that the General in-Chief gave them 12 hours to accept or refuse these terms, and that the army would move at day break ; that each column would proceed to the point of attack assigned to it ; and that on the 20th of August, at nine o'clock in the morning, the city would be stormed if the terms were not accepted by time Generals and the local authorities of Adrianople. The next morning (29th) the army formed in two columns, and left its camp at five o'clock. The right column, composed of the corps of Generals Roth and Pahlen, marched directly against the centre of the place. The Commander-in-Chief led it in per son, and placed it so that it could attack at several points at once. The left column, consisting of the 2d division of Hussars and the 2d of Hulnns, with a numerous di vision of horse artillery, marcht.d through Arnaut Kioi towards the roads leading to Kirk-Kilissa and Constantinople, in order to cut off the enemy from all modes of retreat to the Bosphorus. This column was commanded by General 'cott, Chief of the Staff. The 7th corps under General Rudiger formed the reserve, and advanced on the road from Bujick Der bent to Adrianople, to the wood which surrounds the Eski Serai, the ancient residence of the Sultans. Whether the Turkish Plenipotentiaries saw from their camp the general movement of the army, they did not wait for the expiration of the time allowed them the preceding evening to signify their submis sion, they arrived two hours earlier, but designed to negociate to obtain less disadvantageous terms. The answer was short : the General-in-Chief ordered the columns to advance towards the out-works and walls of the city. When the Turkish and Christian inha bitants saw the movement of the columns, they did not wait for the news of the conclusion of the capi tulation, and came, partly disarmed, partly armed, out of the city, and met our troops with demonstra tions of joy, while the Turkish soldiers threw away their arms and abandoned their camp to us even be fore the formalities for delivering it up could be completed. All was wholly in confusion. Several Pachas came to meet the Commander-in-Chief, and . welcomed him, and others galloped away. Our bat talions occupied the points which, a moment before, they were to have taken by storm. The c•valry first occupied the road to Constanti nople; the 2d corps followed, and posted itself before the Constantinople-gate; the 6th occupied the road to Kirk-Kilissa; the 7th the Valley of the Tunds cha, and the fine barracks lately built by the Sultan Mahmoud. The Commander-in-Chief fixed his head-quarters in the Palace of the Sultans, which had been pre pared for the reception of Mahmoud. Part of our troops occupied the barracks, and the remainder the tents of the Turkish camp, which were all ready to receive them. The conquest of Adrianople was more like a popu larp festival than the occupation of a cap i ta l c i ty by an armed hostile force. The Turkish, as well as the Christian inhabitants, continue their usual occupa tions. The shops and coffee-houses are open, and • The subsequent dates are given in the new style only. - he local authorities and tribunals have not been in terrupted in their proceedings. The trophies of this remarkable day ares 6 cannon, 25 standards, five horse-tails, and many thousand muskets, which are not yet counted. The maga zines of provisions and ammunition were well fur ..ished, and are of great use to us: Lieutenant•G•enerai Baron tudberg reports, that c)n the 20th of August, after an action at the out pasts, in which the Archduke Ferdinand's Regiment A Hussars had distinguished itself, he had occupied Kiik-Kilissa, and marched on the 21st to Lul'e Bourgas. Tt.e Odessa Journal contains the fol!owing report:— " AISADA, AUG. 20.—Admiral Greig sent a squadron of I ship of the line, 2 frigates, and 3 gun boats, under Captain Baskakoff, to occupy Ainada, (Niada or Incada). After two hours' cannonade a corps of 150 sailors and 150 infantry landed, drove the -enemy from their intrenchments, and took 28 cannon, two mortars, and a great quantity of ammu nition. For want of cavalry, the enemy could not be pursued, so that only the sick and wounded were made prisoners. We cannot sufficiently wonder an tire little resistance of the Turks. The 'wrench melts they abandoned, besides the outworks, con sisted of six very well constructed redoubts, with embrasures and deep ditches t if they had been well defended, we could not have taken them without great loss, and a much larger number of troops ; but the Turks are in such terror that they every where take flight. Six (28) miles from Ainada they had a camp on an eminence, which we afterwards learned contained no fewer than 8,000 men. Our detachment expected they would come to succour the town, instead of which they hastily retreated, as soon as Ainada fell into our hands. A detachment has just been sent to occupy Sumakoff.—Prussian S.'ate Gazette, Sept. 14. ODESSA, AUG. 30.—Our accounts from the theatre of war are to the 23d, at which time General Roth had commenced his march from Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmora. The General-in-Chief in tended to proceed by Araba Bourgas direct to Con stantinople, but at the same time remain in com munication with General Roth. The fleet prose cutes its advantages, and has taken Ainada, where there is a pretty good road along the coast to the capital. It is said, that Admiral Ricord has orders to sup port the army ; and it is probable that when he learns the arrival of General Roth, at Rodosto, he will endeavour to pass the Dardanelles ; which will be the more easy, as the Turkish fleet remains in active in the port of Bujukdere, as if it were a time of profound peace. We know that negotiations for peace are to be soon opened, and we hope they will be successful, for the Porte has no means of defence in Europe, and in Asia General Paskewitsch takes one province after another. The Sultan seems inclined to do his utmost to end the contest with some degree of honour; he tries all means, or. the one hand, to ex cite the people against the Russians, and on the other, to induce Count Diebitsch to conclude an armistice ; but the people remain indifferent, and Count Diebitsch purqres his advantages. It is said, he has answered the Grand Vizier, who has several times written to him, expressing a wish for an armi stice, and begging that the negotiations may be car ried on at Constantinople, " that the Porte knows the sentiments of the Emperor, and on what basis it has to treat, and that it has hut to fulfil the con ditions on which peace may be obtained, if it seri ously wishes to put an end to hostilities." The sanatory state of this place is improving. VIENNA, SEPT. B.—Metalliques, 1001 ; Bank Shares, 1,074. SEPT. 9.—Metalliques, 1001 ; Bank Shares, 1,172. Allgemrine Zeitung, Sept. 14. VIENNA, SEPT.

FOREIGN INTELLIUENCE FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Saturday.) FRONTtERS OF TURKEY, SEPT. 7.—Letters ceived by Greek merchants at Belgrade, announce that the Russians took possession, at the end of last month of Rodosti, on the sea of Alartnora, and found there a great quantity of ammunition and pro. visions. This place is known to be the principal port on the sea of Marmon, and is only a few marches distant from the old Castle of the Darda- nelles on the European side. The same letters speak of a deputation sent by the Divan to General Die bitsch, to induce him to suspend hostilities, by re presenting to him the dangers to which the capital would be exposed. The General is said to have answe►ed that it depended upon the Porte to stop the effusion of blood, and to save the capital : that the declaration made by the Emperor at the com mencement of the war was made known to the whole world ; and that it positively stated that the sending of Turkish Commissioners to the Russian camp would not suspend the military operations till a final arrangement should have been concluded—and that he would not sheath the sword till he had ob tained complete satisfaction for the injuries sustained by the Russian► nation. LIES OF THE DAY. PARIS, SEPT. 18.-TILE COURIER FRANCAIS.- It is affirmed that orders are given for all the Swiss Regiments in the service of France to be assembled on the 28th inst. at Paris.

TETE CONSTITUTION EL.—There is a report that NI. de Villele will shortly arrive at Paris. LE FRANCE NOUVELLE.—It is stated as certain, that M. la Bourdonnaye, to revenge himself on the moderation of his colleague, M. de Chabrol, has just displaced the Prefect of the Seine, and has ap pointed M. Ferdinand Berthier for his successor. (From the Messager des Chainbres of Friday.) TRIPOLI. • NAB, 'SEPT. 17.—The notice given by the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles, and published in our yesterday's number, might perhaps cause it to be feared that a rupture would take place with that power, arid we therefore think it our duty to give some explanation calculated to make the mer chants easy on the subject. It was known some days ago, that Baron Rous seau, his Majesty's Consul• General and Charge d'Affaires at Tripoli, had taken down his flag, in consequence of very serious disputes between the Pacha and him relative to the papers of Major Laing. If we may give credit to the private information which we have received, Baron Rousseau is impli cated in this affair. The misunderstanding between the Consul and the Pacha having no other cause than the private conduct of the former, we have not thought it necessary to acquaint the public tiU cer tain documents, which are promised very shortly, should have reached us. We believe that the mer chants have no reason to fear a rupture with Tripoli, because the French Government has not been in sulted in the person of its Consul; and what tends to confirm our opinion is, that the Pacha has re peatedly declared to M. Rousseau, that he was going to write himself to the French Government, to assure it of his friendship and deference; that if the Consul went away, he should, notwithstanding, consider himself at peace with France, and that all the subjects of that nation residing at 't ripoli s►hould be the objects of his special protection. As soon as the official documents, which we expect, have reach ed us, we shall immediately make them public. Here follows, under the head of " News from Tripoli," a long article extracted from the Sema phore, of Marseilles, the substance of which is, chat in consequence of the researches made by Mr. Warrington, the English Consul, and father-in-law of Major Laing, there was reason to believe that the papers of the Major had been brought to Tripoli by some people of Ghadames, and that a Truk, named Hassouna-Dghies, received them in a mys terious manner. Mr. Warrington having so far pro ceeded that the truth was at length on the point of being distOvered, Hassouna not daring to wait for the result, took refuge with Mr. Coxe, the American Consul. The Pacha signified to Mr. Coxe; that he acknowledged the inviolability of the asylum granted to the 1 urk, but that as his evidence was necessary in the investigation of the assassination of Major Laing, he begged him not to favour his flight. Mr. Warrington wrote in the same manner to his colleague. However, Hassouna left Tripoli in the night of the 9th of August, disguised, it is said, as an American officer ; and took refuge on board the American corvette Fairfield, Captain Parker, then in the road of Tripoli, and which weighed anchor on 10th August, in the morning. The Pacha, enraged at the escape of Hassouna, sent for his brother Ma hommed, who on being threatened, confessed in writ ing, and upon oath, that Hassouna, his brother, had had the Major's papers, in his possession, but had given them up to a person whom we shall not name, for a deduction of 40 per7rent. on the debts which he had contracted in France, and of which the latter was endeavouring to obtain payment.-- Mohammed's declaration, which fills three plges, contains valuable and numerous particulars respect. ing the Major's papers. However, when he left the palace, fearing that the Pacha might punish him in stead of his brother, he went to take refuge with the person of whom all have spoken, and implored his protection. On this the Consuls-General of the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Sardinia, went to the person indicated as the receiver, and summoned him in the name of Mr. Warrington, and on the ground of Mohammed's declaration, instantly to deliver up Major Laing's papers. He answered haughtily, that the declaration was a tissue of ca lumnies; and Mohammed, depending probably on a pretended inviolability, wholly disavowed it, and even denied his own hand -writing. This palinode deceived nobody. The Pacha, i n a rage, sent hi s own son, Sidi Ali, to Mohammed, Who, being threatened with being seized by the Chiaoux, re traced his retactation, and confirmed, in a new de claration made in the presence of all the Consuls, that which he had made in the morning, before the Pacha and his principal officers. Now, the circumstances of this affair are clear, and we submit them to the attention of France and Europe. Our readers will easily guess what deli cacy has obliged us to pass over in silence. One consolatory fact results from these afflicting details the papers of Major Laing exist, and the learned world will rejoice ; but in the name of humanity, in the name of science, in the name of the national ho nour compromised, perhaps, by shameful or criminal bargains, we must desire that justice may strike the guilty, whoever he may be. (From the Journal des Debats of Thursday.) PARIS, SEPT. 17.—N0 reasoning can prevent the present epoch from being one of political decay for England. No sophism can restore to her that power over Europe which she has voluntarily alienated. This may arise, perhaps, from the am bition of Russia—from the weakness of the Otto man Empire—from the lethargy of Austria, and the indifference of Prussia. The cause, however, is of no consequence; and it is certain that in 1827, the expression was, if " England pleases," while, in 1829, it is everywhere said, whether " England likes it or not, is of no consequence." In order to judge correctly of a present circum stance, we must sometimes remember the past and look to the future. Let us suppose, therefore, that Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Brougham, Lord Holland, or Lord Lansdowne, had stated two years ago, as a rhetorical figure, that the giant of the North would press in a short time the capital of the Ottoman em pire, both in Europe and Asia; that the ports on the south of the Euxine would receive Russian gar risons, while the Cossacks were threatening the castles of the Dardanelles—the Members of the Opposition themselves would have found the asser tion a little too strong, and the Ministerial orators would have replied bS , a haughty appeal to British dignity, to the ►nfluence cf Britain abroad, and to all those common-places about national power and ho nour, with which the good easy people are every where so readily satisfied. But all these things have happened, and perhaps only the half of the events which are preparing are yet known to us. What then has changed in Eng land ? Nothing, except the language. The Rus sian Colossus is nothing more than a mild and mo derate Prince, who takes up arms to lay them down at the first summons, by those who wished his ex pedition to sail, in the most exemplary manner. He is a conqueror who invades only to restore— who is only going to Constantinople to convince his enemy of his own weakness, and consequently in form him of the means by which he may re-assume his old rivalry. We shall not be surprised, should it be stated at London that Mahmoud was to be in demnified for the sacrifices his resistance has cost him. The Emperor of Russia has visited the straight where the trade of his most fertile province is exposed to even renewed outrages, and some times threatened with complete interruption—and he is to return without insuring his commercial ma rine that development. to which it has a right, and without which it cannot exist. Who knows that Mahmoud will not demand from him the cession of Sebastopol and Odessa ? In fact it is to amuse one's self with Russia to expect to catch her in such a net. What ! when you doubted her success—when you wished to see pestilence and famine in her camps, and her vessels exposed to hurricanes—then you had, in speaking of her Sovereign, no other words in your mouth than ambition—spirit of conquest—and invasion ; and now, when you see, with your arms folded, at London and Vienna, that his forces are majestically surrounding the gates of the Turkish capital, you are at his feet trembling, like the Turks, from ap prehension, and calling on him to have compassion on the balance of power in Europe, as they call on him to suspend hostilities. A pleasant hope t. and if the Duke of Wellington has no other illusion to offer to England, I can readily believe, as has already been said, that lie begins to find business troublesome. It was not for this he was called to the head of hiS Sovereign's Councils—and this was not the first use he promised to himself to make of the pacification of Ireland. But even the results of this great measure are become a matter of contest. In Ireland the people talk of no thing but a mere important independence. It is recol lected that Dublin once had its Parliament, and it is known that at present the population of Ireland is seven millions. You may imagine the Duke of 'Wellington pressed in Parliament, by the consistent a'lversaries of Catholic Emancipation, as to the consequences of a measure which they energetically opposed, pressed also on the measures of their exterior policy by those who are the true defenders of the English preponderance in the business of Europe; we may imagine we see Mahmoud, with Diebitsch in front of him, and Paskewitch in his rear, Europe and Asia fall at the same time. The Turks demand of the Sultan what he has done with the Standard of the Prophet. England will also demand of the Duke of Wellington to render an account of the honour of the English flag. Will this be the end of his career ? Provi dence sports sometimes very strangely with human combinations. For us, at least, we have a Mi►►istry from whom we exact less. Occupied as we are in saving our institutions from the nicks on which they have been driven by imprudent habits, we must first have France free at home before requiring for her glory abroad. Moreover the national honour is, seriously, in the hands of M. de Bourmont! How can it be imagined that he can be called upon to give an ac count of it? Subvert the Ottoman Empire, then —strew two parts of the world with its ruins; make Greece free and powerful, or slavish and tributary; rejoice at Petersburgh—weep at Vienna; threaten at Lon- dun ; pull down and build up Europe as you please. Three men have promised you the nullity of France, and have relied, for that purpose, on your hatred and fear of them. When the great question now agitating France as to her repose and liberty is resolved, she will resume her rank among nations. FRENCH FoNns.—PAnts, Sear. 18.—Five per Cents. 1061.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) BUCHAREST, AUG. 30.—We learn from the ramp of Daja, the head-quarters of General Kische leff, that the left Bank of the Danube, which has been hitherto molested by the Turks, has been freed from them by the rapid movements of the General. The places most threatened were Tournoul and Kale, opposite Nicopolis. The Turks had landed 1,000 cavalry, and about 2,000 infantry, but Gene ral Baron Lowenstern, at the head of his cavalry, hastened to the spot with the rapidity of lightning, compelled the enemy to a speedy retreat, and Kale, which had for a moment been abandoned by the Russians, was again occupied by the infantry of General Stegman. Though the Turks had above 40 pieces of cannon, which kept up a well sup ported fire, they could not stop the Russians. Nicopolis, Sistow, and Rudsehuk, receive ammu nitions and provisions from Widdin. Baron Low enstern being informed that the convoy was to pass, erected a battery, which damaged several boats, sunk two, and obliged the crews of the others to fly and abandon their vessels. ZANTE, SEPT. 2.—The Russians are probably at this moment at Constantinople, for they were lately at Enos, and there is nothing to oppose their march. We have just received to day a piece of news of great importance, viz. that the French and English fleets have entered the port of Constantinople, at the desire of the Foreign Ambassador:, the Porte having lately declared that the Sultan was going to depart to put himself at the head of his army, and that the result of the combat being uncertain, he could not know whether he should be able at his return to guarantee the lives and property of the Europeans. In consequence the two fleets were to take the most speedy measures for the safety of the foreigners residing at Constantinople. (From the Messager des Chambres.—Second Edition.) PARIS, SEPT. 19, NOON.—Yesterday evening, at the Opera, the following was stated to be the scheme for a new Ministry, namely, M. de Polignac, Fo reign Affairs and President of the Council ; M. de Chabcol, the Finances ; M. de Belleyme, the Inte rior; M. de Rigny, the Marine; Gen. Ricard, War Department; M. de Chantelauze, Justice; M. de Vatismenil, Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs. The marked rise in the price of stocks must be attributed to this news, which had trans pired on 'Change. We consider the report as a Stock-jobbing trick. (N. B. The Constitutionnel expresses the same opinion of this news. " The funds," it says, " were inclined to fall, and as the coffers of the Receivers- General begin to he exhausted, it is probable that the Ministry itself finds no other means to keep up the funds than by spreading a report that it is going to retire.")

It is said that the French Government have received a Telegraphic Communication to the effect that hostilities had ceased between the Russians and Turks on the 29th of August, and that the preliminaries of peace were to be ratified two days after. The Al lgemeine Zeitung of the 15th Sep tember contains some particulars of the opera tions on the left Bank of the Danube, between the Turks and Russians, in which the former were as usual defeated —chiefly in consequence of the mutinous conduct of the Albanians. If we may credit the report in that Paper, the suc cess of the Russians is hailed with general joy by the inhabitants of the principalities, and what is certainly " more remarkable, many Turkish houses at Adrianople and Sophia speak of the results of the campaign with pleasure, and give orders as if profound peace prevailed." The rca - ion we presume to be that all commercial men are heartily sick of the SULTAN'S extor tionate exactions. There is a hint thrown out for making the Principalities independent of the PORTE HAMBURG, SEPT. 15.

They copy the principal articles of the Emperor NicnoL As's manifesto respecting the only conditions upon which he was resolved to make peace with the PORTE. Letters from Gibraltar have been received this morning to the 31st ult. inclusive, which make no mention of the breaking out of the fever, the statements to this effect in the French Papers may therefbre be considered unfounded. Commercial advices from Calcutta state, un der date the 26th March, that the growing crop of Indigo was already suffering from want of rain in the lower districts, and unless there was a fall speedily, another short crop might be ex pected. The accounts from Trihoot and the upper provinces were however more favourable. In another column will be found a detailed re port of the occupation of Adrianople by the Russian army. The dispositions made by Gen. DIEBITSCH were very masterly, arid so fright ened the Turkish Paellas, that they surrendered at discretion. " The conquest of Adrianople," says the bulletin, " was more like a popular fes tival than the occupation of a capital city by an armed hostile force. The Turkish as well as the Christian inhabitants continue their usual oc cupations: the shops and coffee-houses are open, and the local authorities and tribunals have not been interrupted in their proceedings." If we may believe the statement in letters from Zante of the 2d instant, the English and French fleets had advanced to Constantinople, on the invitation of the Foreign Ambassadors ; the Turkish Government having declared to the diplomatic body, that the SULTAN was imme diately to set out at the head of his army to meet the enemy ; and that the result of the struggle being uncertain, he could not tell whe ther he would be able at his return to guarantee the safety of the lives and properties of Eu ropeans. The Commanders of the two fleets are in consequence taking the most effectual measures for insuring the safety of the European inhabitants in Constantinople. It was even said that the Russians had taken possession of Ro dosto, a port on the Sea of Marmora, half way between Constantinople and the Dardanelles. General DIEBITSCII was ad vaacing by three roads to the capital. The following is from our correspondent iH Paris : " PARIS, SEPT. 19. " General Krassowsky had . a very serious en gagement with the Grand Vizier before Shinnla. The Grand Vizier had a horse wounded, and General Krassowsky a horse killed under him in the action. " It is mentioned in letters from Copenhagen of the sth of September, that three ships of the Russian line and one frigate had arrived from the North Sea, apparently from Archangel, and had cast anchor in the roads of the Danish capital. " Fresß reports have arisen of changes in the French Ministry. It is said that Prince Polig nac and M. de Chabrol are alone to remain ; and a list is even circulated of the new Admi nistration. According to this list Admiral de Rigny is called to the Ministry of the Marine, the Duke d'Escars to the War Department, M. de Vatismenil to that of Public Instruction, M. de Chantelauzc to the Ministry of Justice, and M. de Belleyme to the Ministry of the In terior ; but although very generally believed on 'Change, I find in the best informed circles that it is regarded as a stock•jobbing manoeuvre ; some even alleging that it has been put in circu lation by the Ministers themselves, to give a temporary stimulus to public credit. The Journal du Comnzerce, the Journal des Debats, the Constitulionnel, and the Cou rier, have been cited before the Juge d'lnstruc- Lion, the first for having originally inserted, and the others for having copied, the resolutions of the Breton Association from the Gazelle de France. The grounds of citation are—ist, for exciting hatred and contempt against the King's Government ; 2d, for provoking to the disobe• dience of the laws ; 3d, for an attack on the Constitutional authority of the King; and 4th, for an attack on the rights and authority of th e Chambers. Two days ago the King and the Royal Family went in solemn procession to the Cathe dral church of St. Denis, to celebrate the anni versary of the death of Louis XVIII. It is the fashion at present with the Liberal party to place the public conduct of Charles X. in unfa vourable contrast with that of his late brother, who is usually lauded as the august author of the Charter. To support this idea, a procession has been got up by the opponents of the Mi nistry, and is at this moment in progress to the' church of St. loch, ostensibly with the view of celebrating the anniversary of his late Majes►y's decease, but substantially, I believe, with a view to political agitation. The Liberals avow that they are the warmest and most consistent sup porters of the Constitutional authority of the King, but the friends of the Ministry contend that it is only dead Kings that their antagonists are ever heard to praise." :i r { r; John Bull, as ARBUTHNOT has well said, is ..;C: naturally disposed to grumbling." He has a decided relish for the gloomy, a taste for the tristfiul, and is never so happy, or so entirely in his clement, as when finding fault. Mr. SAD.. LER, the Ultra Tory speech-monger, seems to be well acquainted with this national characte- ristic, and in a long Philippic, delivered by him on Tuesday last at Whitby, administered to his hearers a pretty plentiful dose of megrims and melancholy. - The subjects of his oratory were various, but were all of a sareo iic cast. He railed first against political ecorcynists, visionary theorists, and political paniphl steers (himself one of the most visionary pamphleteers of the day) ; secondly against the Free Trade system ; thirdly, against the intellect of the present day—at a low ebb, certainly, if Mr. SADLER be taken as its representative ;—fourthly, against the policy of Government, with regard to the circulating me dium ; and lastly, against what that pompous orator my Lord Noodle, in Tom Thumb, calls, " things in general." Having discussed all these points in a spirit which a luxurious public dinner ought considerably to have mol- lified, the Honourable Member went on to advert (we quote his own words) " to that line of policy which I humbly think ought to be adopted, and which, without any violent revul sions, much less untried plans, would still, and 'I think speedily, restore the nation to its wonted prosperity." Just, however, as he was entering on this important topic, and while his hearers were all attention, the Hon. Member suddenly discovered that he had exhausted their patience, so without further explanation of his plans, he hastened to a conclusion with a metaphor about a ship and a pilot, worthy alone of the illustrious author of the " Art of Sinking." Now this was disingenuous in Mr. SADLER. It was unworthy the protege6 of the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the author of the " Treatise on Ireland." If he thought fit to attack the Free Trade System, he was hound in common fairness to substitute a better in its stead. He was bound to show wherein his line of policy was superior to that of his opponents. He should have been above the wretched vanity of finding fault, merely because the language of sarcasm was that best adapted to his periods. He should have shown not merely that the policy of his opponents was wrong, but that his own was right. On this latter point, however, he was discreetly silent, impressed doubtless with a he-' coming sense of the modesty of Bombastes Furioso, when he exclaimed to his victorious General— " I cannot speak, for I have nought to say."' Mr. SADLER, we repeat our former observa tions, is a mere sophist. He has language at command, a power of giving to unmeaning. generalities the appearance of sound facts, and when argument is wanting, of disguising his shal-4 lowness by a stale truism, tricked out in meta phor, like au old harridan in paint, feathers, and flounces. He mistakes wind for strength, sound for sense, the rattling of the brazen chariots of Salmonens for the thunders of Jupiter EliS• He talks fitmiliarly of the great writers of a past age, in the hope that he may be suspected of having read them. He brings forward the names of BACON, of LOCKE, of ADDISON, as men of his own way of thinking, and 4 , whose approval gave the Constitution the signature of immor tality," forgetting arparently that the first, 4 , the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind," waS meanest in that very capacity in which Mr. SADLER would chiefly wish to exalt, and be identified with him ; that LOCKE, the staunchest, the most intrepid of, innovators, (that class of people whom Mr. SADLER honours with his especial condemnation,) was long proscribed at Oxford, whose principles are adequately repre• sented by Mr. SADLER'S friend, Sir R. INGLIS,. and are even now as much opposed to those of the g an re d at t c h h a a t m I A ) i o p i s f 0 1 :7, o1 e r h a t o i w o n weighty as an authority in literature, was as a N a re s r lig il h lu t s to tri c o la u r s kn a e i sf i l d ; Statesman, weak, inefficient, wavering,—a poor creature, who was timid when lie should have • been courageous, vacillating when he should have been decided. Such are the discordant ma terials which Mr. SADLER has blended together in a strange heterogenous hodge-podge, to point his arguments, and throw a classical halo over his intellect ! k ni tw t 116 tha 4 4 , It Ai ; Th e Itg, co„ 1%1 1 We cannot quit the subject of this Whitby dinner, without expressing our regret that the ultra Press has presented us with so much of Mr. SADLER'S, and so little of Colonel WIL' soN's eloquence. The Gallant Member, we perceive, was seated next the Chairman, the true fountain of inspiration ; how then does 4 happen that his impassioned apostrophes,--fer genius like his must of necessity be restless, have not in one single instance been recorded? He is a rival, and a dangerous one we confess , of Mr. SADLER—indeed of the two orators we infinitely prefer the Gallant Colonel—but is that a reason why his delightful diatribes should hav e been omitted ? Because Mr. SADLER is vir tuous, shall there be no more cakes and ale from Colonel WILsoN ?

SMITHFIELD MARKET, At this day's market, which exhibited a rather great, but by no means gaudy supply, the trade was very dull throughout, with Beef in most instances, as also with Lamb and Veal, at a depression of 2d. per stone ; with Mutton and Pork, at barely Friday's quotations. The supply embraced a considerable number of inferior Store Runts and Barrens; nor did a moiety of the Beasts and Sheep that were offering as fat ones seem to merit being slaughtered.

THE MARKETS.--(TIIIS DAY). CoUN-EXCHANGE. The supplies of Engli.lr Grain la , t week wet, better than for come time pat, of foreign moderate, and of Flour, coastwise, liberal. This morning there are moderate fresh arrivals of most kinds of Corn. The continued showery weather caused the factors to demand higher prices for nearly every article. Superfine samples of both New and Old Wheat are 2s. per quarter dearer than on this day seinnight, hut all other kinds of New Wheat are 31. to 4s. per quarter cheaper, the quality being so unfit for our miller's use. Foreign Wheat obtains rather higher prices than of late, especially the best Dantzic: Barley ant !kips are each 2s. per quarter dearer than last Monday. Prime Boiling Pease have advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter, Grey Pease are unaltered. The best sweet parcels o Oats are ls. per quarter higher, but there is no improve ment in other kinds, and the sale continues very limited, Flour is unaltered in value.

The Hon. Seymour Bathurst is on the point of mar riage with Miss Harkey. Great preparations are making to celebrate the mar riage of Fer;inand, King of Spain, with all possible spli ndour.—Agents have been some time in London pro_ curing requisites for the spectacle ; and a vessel, the .73ramin, Capt. Robinson, has been freighted to Bilboa, exclusively to take them over.—Some fine horses and a superb stage barouche, beautifully finished in the most elaborate taste, are among the items.—The orders, we understand, are riot yet completed. The Margrave of Baden has left England on his way home. Previously to his departure, the King conferred on him the Royal Hanoverian Guelphie Order. It is said that Lord Hertford returns to Italy vet shortly and that he means to psiis the winter at Rsme. ROBBERY AT DONCASTER. The most active exertions have been made in all quitters to gain intelligence of the parties connected with this extensive robbery. During the whole of the night, Bishop, the proprietor of the rooms, and the town police, were on the alert. By dint of great perseverance, they succeeded in getting a clue to wards the unravelling of the matter, and have al ready secured one of the gang. At this time much mischief would ensue by giving names o r particulars; we shall therefore merely state that the parties are known, that there is not much doubt of their appre hension, and that they are ant exactly the same at whom suspicion pointed in the first instance. Wc are happy to add to the above, that in the extreme agitation of the moment the loss was over-rated con siderably ; %re believe it does not exceed 2,0001. There has been some talk of a subscription on be half of the sufferers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING 1829. DONCASTER, FRIDAY NIG RT.—A very excellent meet ing terminated this day, with some indifferent sport. In alluding to the promises held out before the races, we think that most parties will agree with us that they have not been quite realised. We repeat that the meeting was bril liant, but it did not equal the one in 1828. There was a slight falling off in the receipts at the Grand Stand, nor were the balls so numerously attended as last year, al though the Great Captain was present at one of them.— The betting rooms alone evinced no decline, their popularity increasing rather than diminishing. In comparing the present with the last year's races, we should state that the cause of the latter being so pre-eminently successful, was the Yorkshire Musical Festival being fixed for the ensuing week. His Grace the Duke of Wellington left the race course on Thursday for town, after the Cup Race, expressing himself highly delighted with the amusement he had de rived in the three days he had remained there. His Grace received the freedom of the town on Friday, in a 100 guinea gold snuff box ; the ceremony and the speeches be ing, as these things always are, very common-place. On the same day many others of the Nobility took their de parture, so that the races on Friday (the most unfavourable thy in the week) were thinly attended, hour last report we promised a full statement of the principal female visitors, and which we are now enabled to do: they are as follows Duchess of St. Alban's.

From what we have seen of Sir PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—Our pilots report that a fleet of seven Russian men of war passed down Channel yesterday. The Amity transport spoke one of the frigates off Portland, and saw two line-of battle-ships in company. We are inclined to doubt that so many as seven passed by, because no man• of-war was fitting at Cronstadt when the Herald yacht left that port, nor do our timber ships bring any further information from Archangel that a greater number were equipping in that arsenal than two line-of-battle-ships, and a frigate, which entered the Baltic and called at Copenhagen. These ships may have been ordered to proceed to reinforce Count Heiden. The Amity transport, Lieutenant W. Lester, agent, arrived yesterday, from Malta, after a long passage, having called at several Italian ports ; she left Gibraltar the 30th ult. The Favourite sloop of war, Captain Harrison, passed Gibraltar on her way to Malta, on the 28th August. The Amity brings inforination of the French Admiral having gone into the port of Algiers, with a flag of truce flying; that on his sending his boat on shore he was pe remptorily ordered to quit the harbour; and on weighing anchor and making sail, the batteries opened a tremendous fire on his ship, which almost sunk her. She was compelled to make the best of her way to Toulon, having, it is said, received 60 shots between wind and water. The Britomart transport arrived on Tuesday from Barbadoes, having sprung her fore and mizen masts i►► a gale of wind. On her passage she spoke the Hebe, of Torquay, for Newfoundland; the Har binger, of Whitby, from Liverpool to Miramichi ; and the Courier, from Liverpool to Vera Cruz—all well. The Britomart sailed from Barbadoes on the 15th of August with a few military invalids and stores. The island was quite healthy. The Undaunted, 46, Captain A. Clifford, C. 8., arrived on Sunday at Plymouth from the 'Western Islands and Madeira, and went into Barn Pool on Tuesday to refit. The Bramble cutter, Lieut. W. H. Haswell, arrived there on the same day from Lisbon. The Britannia, 120, Captain Burdett, went into Plymouth Sound on Monday. She was paid wages yesterday, and was to proceed to join the squadron in the MediterraneaH. The Lightning, 18, Com mander Dickenson, went out of harbour on Wed. nesday. This vessel was also to sail to-day for the Brazils,. to relieve the Heron. The Briton, 46, Captain the Honourable W. Gordon, sailed to-day with Mr. Colin Mackenzie, the BritiSh Consul-General, to Lisbon. The Friends, of Torquay, capsized off Padstow during the gales of last week. The Atlas, of Fowey, was driven on the rocks, and went to pieces. Crew Isaved. The Blossom, surveying -vessel, Commander H. Owen, sailed on Wednesday for the West Indies. The Melville, 74, Captain Schomberg, was paid wages to-day; she will sail to-morrow for Malta. The Da;tmotith, 42, Captain Sir Thomas Fel owes, is lying in the bay of Gibraltar. The Druid, 42, Captain Sandom, sailed on Sun day for Plymouth—arrived there on Thursday, and went into harbour to be paid off. The St. Vincent, 120, was last week commis sioned for the flag ship at Plymouth, and taken into dock to. have her copper inspected. The Caledonia, 120, is ordered to be completed by March. She is intended for the flag-ship at this port, in lieu of the Victory. She has had a thorough repair, and been thrown out 22 inches. The Trinculo, Commander Price, went out of Plymouth harbour on Saturday last, and was to sail to-day for the Irish station. _ The Donegal, 78, (to which Captain Sir Jah leel Brenton, Bart., is appointed), is intended to lie at Sheerness, as a guard-ship. The flags of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Blackwood and of Rear-Admiral Sir R. Otway, which have been flying, the former on board the Pearl,and the latter on board the Ganges, since the commencement of the Court-martial on Captain Dickenson, were struck last evening. Sir Robert Otway, on hauling down his flag, confers a Com mander's Commission upon his Flag Lieutenant, T. N. Langford. The Ganges, 84, was paid off on Thursday, and re-commissioned by Captain Hays, C.B. The Talavera, 74, is to be commissioned, and to lie in the Downs in place of the Ramilies,which re quires repairs. The Sparrow cutter arrived on Thursday from a cruise. Captain Little of the Plymouth Division of Royal Marines is appointed Barrack-master at Woolwich, vire Briglit, deceased ; an,l Captain Giles is ap o,h!ted to the Plymouth division, vice Little.

Those or dered to be built arc—Royal Frederick, 120; Eu phrates, 46 ; Spartan, 46 ; Theban, 46 ; Tiber, 46; and two sloops of 18. At Plymouth, the ships building are—the St. George, 120 guns; Nile, 92, on two decks; Hindostan, 30, on two decks (teak); Tigress (teak), Statira, and Proserpine fiigates ; Rice-horse, corvette; Reindeer and Rolla, 10 gun brigs. The Savage brig is to be laid down as soon as the Reindeer's slip is vacant, and the materials are getting ready. On Monday, at eleven o'clock, A.M. the Sylvia, Eagle, Sprightly, and Hawk, revenue cruizers on the Weymouth station, under the orders of Captain Jackson, R.N., inspecting commander, started from the roads with all sail set, on a competition cruize; wind at W. by N. with a fresh breeze. It appears that the Sylvia, in running before the wind a dis tance of twelve miles, was superior to the whole, leaving the Eagle nearly half a mile, Sprightly one mile, and the Hawk one mile and a half. With the wind a-beam, the Sylvia was equal with the Eagle, and superior to the Hawk and Sprightly. In work ing to windward, a distance of twelve miles, the Sylvia and Eagle were equal, and superior to the other two. 'l•he Tranby, Storey, from Hull to the Swan River, pissed by the Isle of Wight yesterday. On Monday, sailed the Prince Regent, ilustwiek, with convicts, for Botany Bay ; on Wednesday, the Cambria, Champlin, one of the New York line of packets, for New York; on Thursday, the Provi• Bence, Ford, for Calcutta. The Minstrel, Ackoll, for the Cape and Swan River; and the Boyne, Warren, for Bombay, will sail to-morrow—their passengers are embarked. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) James Stocking was indicted for stabbing H. Newton in the leg with a penknife. The prisoner and prosecutor lodged in the same house. The prisoner came home drunk at nine o'clock in the morning, and broke open his room door, a scuffle ensued between them, and the prose cutor a very powerful man (the prisoner being a little one), threw down the other and tied his legs. The pri soner drew out a penknife and stuck it into his leg. The prosecutor was taken to the hospital, and was incapacitated for a fortnight from wotking at his avocation as a porter. The prisoner in defence said, that he was very drunk, and only drew out the penknife to cut the cord which bound his legs. The Court sentenced him to two months' im prisonment in the Giltspur-street Compter. Peter Crawley (not the celebrated pugilist of that name) was convicted of an assault upon one Thomas An derson, a watchman. The Court, after making very anxious enquiries as to whether it was the pugilist or not, sentenced him to one month's imprisonment. Mr. C. Puzwes exhibited articles of the peace against Christopher Young, on behalf of his brother, George Young, keeper of the City of London Tavern. The ar ticks stated, that the defendant had sent several threaten ing letters to his friends, intimating his intention to take his brother's life, and that lie had bought a pistol for that purpose, and that he had got a carving-knife ground, with which he should stab him if he m►s.sed his mark. A short time since his father b►ad died, and the defendant sent word to his brother, that he should attend the funeral in milk white. He should not make any disturbance, hut he had a secret reason for doing so. He accordingly did attend in a green coat, white waistcoat, and white trowsers. He had since stated, that he had a pistol then in his pocket, with which he intended shooting his brother at the funeral, and he since regretted much that he did not do so. On several occasions the defendant had been seen parading in the front of the ex- hitant's house, with something grasped in his right hand, looking up in a threatening manner to the room where the exhibitant's family reside. On the 21st of August the exhibitant was walking in Cheapside, and saw the de fendant coining towards him with his hand in his breast pocket as before described. Exhibitant ran away, and was quickly followed by his brother; but he ran into the Mansion-house, and procured a warrant for him. The officer found him parading before his brother's house with his hand as described ; he seized him, and found that he had a large carving knife in his pocket grasped in his hand. He asked him what he was going to do with it? Defendant answered that he meant it for his brother, and he was sorry he had not shot him at the funeral when he had a loaded pistol in his pocket. The defendant now said that he was very penitent for what he had done. The brother (exhibitant) stated that the defendant was a cook, and had been apprenticed to his father. The Cower ordered the defendant to enter into secu rities to keep the peace, himself in 1001., two sureties in 501. each, and to give 48 hours' notice of hail. ARBITRATION ON THE DISPUTED GOWN OF WINTRY WARD. (From the Times.) At length the long contested right to the . ablermanic gown, vacant by the death of Alderman 3lagnay, has been decided. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the Lor.l Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench stated in Court, that it was the opinion of the Bench that the elec tion was in favour of Mr. Winchester, who was opposed by Mr. Wilde, and that a mandamus was issued to the Court of Aldermen, commanding their Worships to swear in Mr. Winchester forthwith. The Court of Aldermen, which had maintained a different opinion from that of the Court of King's Bench, did not at all relish this formidable inter ference of an authority to which implicit submission snust be paid, and deliberated again and again upon the matter, and always found some excuse for delay. The Chief Jus tice was not insensible to the embarrassment in which their Worships were placed, and saw in some of their sugges tions ground for sending the question to a gentleman of the bar for arbitration. The point was, we understand, whether or not three persons who voted for Mr. Win chester were qualified voters. Mr. Broderick contended, upon the part of the City of London, who, it will be remeelbercol, made Mr. Wilde's case their own, that the majority of qualified voters had voted for Mr. Wilde ; and Mr. Law, upon the part of Mr. Winchester, who was had to bear the enormous ex pences of this litigation, unassisted by ►he civic purse, ad vocated the cause of Mr. Winchester. The examination of witnesses, and the arguments of counsel, we are informed, occupied 10 or 12 days, and on Saturday Mr. Follett, of the bar, to whose arbitration the matter was submitted, pronounced in favour of Mr. Winchester. The Lord Mayer, upon receiving information to this effect, immediately ordered summonses to be issued to the members of the Court of Aldermen to attend a Court on Tuesday for the purpose 44f obeying the mandamus, by swe•►ring in Mr. Winchester. It was some time ago reported and believed, that what ever might be the decision of the Court of King's Bench, the case would be taken to the House of Lords. The Court of Aldermen, however, are determined not to par ticipate in the expence, so that if Mr. Wilde should think fit to contest the right further, he must do it at his own expence. The opinion of Lord Tenterden, and the result of the arbitration, have been directly in the teeth of the judgment of most of the city legal authorities. It is odd enough that there is a statute which states that a ward cannot be without an Alderman for a certain period of time, which period has long since in this singular case expired. It is even said by many of the quidnuncs of the corporation that the want of an Alderman for so long a time has had the effect of abrogating the office. Mr. HERRIES arrived in town on Saturday from his seat at Sevenoaks. Sir HENRY BLACK WOOD arrived in town on Saturday from Portsmouth. We have reason to believe—on that which we conceive to be good authority,—that there will be a re-issue ofsmall Bank of England Notes, and that a meet ing of Parliament before Christmas is certainly under the consideration of his Majesty's Ministers.—lt is the general opinion in the best informed circles, that the Russians will negociate with the Turks on very favourable terms. —Berkshire Chronicle. PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE BOROUGH OF DONCASTER TO THE DUKE OF WEL LINGTON.—On Wednesday morning last the MAYOR, DEPUTY-RECORDER, Magistrates and Town Clerk of Doncaster, wait e d u p on the Duke of WELLINGTON, for the purpose of presenting his Grace with the freedom of the Borough, in a gold snuff-box, value 100 guineas. There were present Prince ESTERHAZY, Lords CHESTERFIELD and WILTON, Sir JOHN and Lady ANN BECKETT, &c. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The late Mr. Astley, among his other pur suits, constructed maps of the various countries in Europe, and when it was objected to them, that a given town was placed fifty or sixty miles from the true position, he would ask, " Were you, Sir, ever in that town ?" and on being an swered in the negative, he would rejoin, " Well, I have been there, and, by G—d, I say I know the situation very well, and I have placed the town just where it ought to be." Convincing, however, as this argument appeared to Mr. Ast ley, it did not go down with the public, and the maps remained on his hands. We are reminded of this gentleman by our contemporary the Examiner, whose authority for the extraordinary position, that " The French Commonalty is at this moment the most intelligent of any in the world," though the said French commonalty eau, in general, neither read nor write, is no other, it seems, than his " sojourning some space in the country." Without wishing in the least to un dervalue our contemporary's ability to estimate the comparative merits of the French com monalty and the commonalty of the rest of the world, we should like to know the extent of the , opportunities he has had of knowing the rest of the world, and knowing France. Time world is wide, rand France is __a large country. A man may sojourn in France, and e'en proceed by the diligence as far as Paris, and yo_ , ,~ on such powerful claims we may demur to his authority for so sweeping Et conclusion, We have always understood that different part., cif France were extremely unlike each ocher, airkl that what might be true of one provitA . 6 could. not be true of another. Has our contemporary sojourned in the different provinces ? Was . Irr: able to speak the different patois ; for it so hap- , pens, we believe, that this most intelligent com monalty of the whole world in nsarly two-thirds of France, not only cannot write and read, hut, except in the towns, can neither speak French nor understand it when spoken. In genoa4 we are not disposed to attach much value to character given by travellers of nations, ft,',ll . lett on their own experience, for one man's into:- course with the individuals of a nation must at best be very limited. In France the difficulties in the way of intercourse are much greater than in England, from the diversity of language and the defective communications in the former country; while in the latter, all, except the Welch, speak and read the same language, and even the villages are in constant communication with towns. But we do not mean to prejudge our contemporary ; he may have been peculiarly favoured in his experience. We have conversed, _ . within the last 24 hours, with a gentleman who travelled on foot through a great part of France, particularly the South, quitting the great roads, and the account he gives of his experience is very different from that given by our contem porarythe Preface to his History of India), as ncv . " But (as is observed by Mr. Mill , in fact is more certain, so none is of more import. ante, in the science of human nature, than this, that the powers of observation in every indivi dual are exceedingly limited; and that it is only by combining the observations of a number pi' individuals that a competent knowledge of any extensive subject can ever be acquired. OF so extensive and complicated a scene as India, how small a portion would the whole period of his life enable any man to observe Whatever is worth seeing or hearing in India can be expressed in writing. As soon as.every thing of importance is expressed in writing, a man who knowledge o is f Indiadul qualified y i l t oset more iri ea m r a i y n i b s ta England, than he could obtain during the course of the longest life by the use of his eyes and his cars in India." This little controversy between our contemporary and ourseireg, began, as he will recollect, by his expressing himself ryjeitrieri at our availing ourselves of a passage in the Lettll of a Morning Paper, in order to repeat an opi , nion which we had heard more than once, both f ro m Ultras and Liberalq, that the Election Law of 1817 was more favourable than if the suf. frage in France had been universal. We have been contemporaries of several Revolutions, in which the lower orders were generally unfa vourable to the liberal side ; and in the lao sti uggle in this country respecting Catholic Emancipation, except in great towns, the sen timents of the lower orders were not certainly very liberal. In this country, reading and writing may not produce all the good effects they ought to produce, but we have always seen that where reading and writing were most assiduously carried on, the people were most liberally dis posed; and when we knew that in two-thirds of France few of the lower orders were taught to read and write, we, judging from analogy, were not quite assured as to the manner in which they might exercise their suffrage. It may be true, as our contemporary observes, that " English men are pre-eminently clever in their trades and callings ; but the moment they step out of them, their understandings are poisoned by floating fal lacies and prejudices," and that " if a low French and a low English peasant, taken at random, were to be brought together for comparison, simplicity would be observed to be the characte ristic of the one, and confusion that of the other. The Gaul would have his two or three first ideas ; the Briton a budget of blunders ;" bur, the low peasants form a small proportion of the lower orders of England, while the low peasants Form a very great proportion of the lower orders of France. — So much for a matter which seems to us one which may be discussed good-hu mouredly ; and we will not be seduced by the tone of our contemporary, to descend to per sonalities.--Morning Chronicle. The French Opposition Journals, which form an immense majority of the daily Press, have been lavish of their vituperation of the English Cabinet, under the impression, that it is to their secret influence they are to ascribe the recent Ministerial changes in France. Enraged by this imaginary injury, they conjure up, in revenge, an imaginary charge of another nature, against the objects of their resentment—the charge of torpid imbecility, or disgraceful apathy, to the existing political relations of the great Powers of Europe. We apprehend the latter accusation to have precisely as much foundation as the former. We have heard that a step, vigorous and decisive, has lately been taken by the British Cabinet in the very complicated and intricate t t yets oh l fffit r ciee e i s pi e trl t e l y t c si r te e l oi u a l t ra i itl o l n er( s el t o oo f f hazard a decided opinion ; we sh a ll therefors s e co ntent ourselves with a s i m pl e allusion. 011 tqhuiess step , tio Portugal n and w i v a o r l e ß v e n r d o a the still more important question of the war in the East, we are informed that a coinmunication has been addressed by the Duke of Wellington directly to the Emperor Nicholas, iivwhich the, British Minister lays down principles, corrects erroneous assumptions, and quotes treaties with his usual straightforward simplicity of manlier.

any quantity he plea es, either at his own table or that of his servants, without having to pay one far thiteg o f duty! That a tax so scandaloply partial should ever have been imposed, or that it should still be continued, and so little outcry be raised against it, is indeed extraordinary. It is, without any question, the most objectionable tax in our whole fiscal sistem. The country has r ung wit ahf well-founded co m p laints of the unjust preference forded by discriminating dut ies to \Vest Indian over East Indian s ugars ; but :what is this preference when compared with that we have now pointed out'? Here we have the rich and the great enacting a law by which a heavy duty is laid on the beer con slimed by the poor, from which that used by them elves is entirely free. It is ludicrous, while such a taw is suffered to disgrace the Statute Book, to stalk drent the fairness ;01d equality of our system of taxa tion. We do not believe that the Legislature of Al giers cite furnish a more`aring example of partial it) or preference than the in question. " The net produce of the di s criminating tax l ei, exclusively on th e beverage of the labouring t i t 1 classes, or of the beer duty, atnounted, i 1827, to 3,201,389/. I\Thre than three-fourths o ;he malt consumed in Eegland is used by te des public Lirew ers , and is therefore subjected om tating; duty. " The regulations under which the beer maim factory is conducted are quite of a piece with those laid on the making, of malt. The regulations con tained in the Acts of the Ist and 2a Geo. w. cap. 22, (for the regulating mania is not yet extinct) were so contradictory and absurd, that it was found tab d be a bsolutely impracticable torn omply with of ththem nubile ; tic Board of Excise, assuing a little at ofticizon, which is the feature par excellence of the Court of Session, issued instructions that have beep substituted in the place f this notable Act,a wmonu hich, however, still remains on the Statute-book, ment of the wisdom of its framers. " At present, no brewer of s trong beer is allo con- wed to send it from his premises, except in casks taining not le ss than five gallons or not less than , two dozen reputed qart bottles, at a time. But a poor man cannot buy this quantity of beer, even if a wholesale dealer were to think it worth his while to sell it to him dim; so that the result of this regulation is, that beer cannot be sold in retail, except by a per son who keeps a public-house. " Brewers of what is termed intermediate beer are virtually restrained from making any other sort of beer. Under the Intermediate Beer Act (4 Geo.

Though the Bank proprietors may, as men a, the world, be acting very wisely in " letting well alone," and " taking the good their gods pro vide them," yet there does seem to be a manifest absurdity in their meeting twice a year for the purpose of considering of a dividend, and allow ing themselves in the mean the time to b or date kepa t wholly in the dark as to upon which si:eli dividend is proposed. The most illiterate and confiding of all sleeping part ners is shown a balance-sheet ; and, if he cannot understand it , is allowed to ask s uch questions as may elucidate it ; while the partners in the first money establishment in the world ne a t all ither know, nor are allowed to know, any . thing of their affairs, but are compelled quietly to take for granted whatever their stewards and servants (or rather, perh a p s, mana g ing partners), the Di rectors, may think proper to afford them. That there may be good policy in this we do not deny. There is a third party, we suspect, if not a fourth, from whom it may be deemed advisable to keep, as far as possible, a knowledge of the Bank secrets. That third party is the public— \ and the fourth the Government. No doubt great part of the Bank profits are obtained at the public expence—and that in more ways than one ; as \the c harge for managing the National Debt — profits on unclaimed dividends— composition for stamps on notes—lost and unpaid notes, &c. If the profits of the Brosk an of solel Engfromland, di k s licounts,e those of private bankers, a e y and the other common a pplications of capital, then, of course , the accounts wo uld be as readily open to the inspection of the h proprietors in the one case, as to the pa rtners in te other. We a re inclined to th ink, therefore, that, however c onfiding, and justly so, the proprietors of Bank Stock may be, their very acquiescence is an ad ditional reason why those at whose cxpence, and by whose ;ra nt of a monopo l y , so large a pro ortion of the Bank profits are obtained, should know a little more of the matter than they do. Where there are mystery and c oncealmentsome- most people will imagine that there must be thing to mystify and to conceal ; and lookinwe g, above all, to the state o f the Bank apprehend the time is not far distant when Par liament must insist upon p o ssessi ng that know ledge which is now withhe ld Hera l dthe proprie tors themselves.-IViorning Her The Court Martial on Captain Dickenso nhere has oc cupied so much of p ublic attention, and t would appear, from the suffrages of our contem poraries, to exist such an universal satisfaction at the result, that we trust we shall stand excused in a dding our comment upon it to that of the many which have been already published. And in the first place we must remark that the honour able acciuittal which Captain Dickenson has re ceived from the Court, has our decided approba tion ; first, on the ground of his previous con donation by Sir Edward Codrington, his Com manding Officer, and next, on that of the time at which the inquiry into his conducthav w ing as i been nsti tuted.

Now we attribute no improper motive to the Court, or any of its m embers, which f ound this verdict. It had a right to find it if it considered it to be a just, a conscientious, and a called-for verdict; but we trust we may, nevertheless, be permitted to in quire why su ch sidelong conde deemed neces sary towards him who vas reluctantly dragged into the c harges on who whaichalong i Captan i Dickenson was tried, and ll n veighed against a public prosecution of him as both improper and utterly uncalled for ? No reas on appears for such conduct on the face of the record. It is said, indeed, by some whose reaso ns for such gross misrepr esen t a tion it difficult to fathom, that Sir Edward Codrington having made charges was bound to pro made n charge at first, but simply s t a ted, in justice t o o thers, and in the r e g ular discharge of a duty which it would have been ot ll unma nly to have neglecte d, that "he was n 80 we " satisfied with Captain Dickenson 's con charges which were afterwards brought before the Court martial were mere explanations of that simple expression, and ex p lanations, too, which he would have willingly withheld, had he been per mitted. This we say is the case, as appears from the proceedings of the Court-martial, the result of which will probably have to be tried over again in another shape ; and we are frank to o in wn our regret —nay, also our indignation, that acquitting Captain Dickensoui an opportunity should have been seized to th endeavour tO tarnish the laurels of the hero of Navarin. But e tin favourable impression on the public mind, if any such has been made, a gainst him, by the verdict which has been delivered, must be tem porary and fleeting, and his character as a man emerge from under the cloud of reproach. which it has been attempted to fasten on him, as bright and spotless as his character as an officer, who has added to the list of our naval victories.

On Saturday Anne Williams, a woman about Mock thirty years of a r e, shabbily dressed ik bonnet, and a dareotton gown, was brought up by Potter, beadle of St. Anne's, Blackfriars, and charged before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY with playing off an hysterical fit in order to excite the pity of the benevolent. Potter was informed about four o'lock on • Friday afternoon that a female was lying in a fit at the door of a public-house in Water-lane, Blackfriars. He hastened to the spot, and found the prisoner sur rounded by a large crowd. She appeared in a state of complete insensibility exhibiting no other symptom of vitality than a copious stream of froth which issued from her mouth. The spectators pressed around her; their features harrowed or up intoex- a mingled expression of pity and horr ; some claiming she had taken poison, and all anxious to afford relief. Potter instantly set off to a receivedsue a and, describi n g the woman's situation, draught, which , with considerable difficulty, was poured down her throat. This was attended with n o beneficial resu lt ; and Potter brought the parish surgeon to examine her, who pronounced her to be l a bouring in a violent hysteric, and recommended the application of vinegar to her temples. Potter's open palm went to work, and after enduring for some time a severe rubbing from the rough han,nd reof rand the beadle she at len g th opened her eyes ; wh e cognising the official functionary bent over her knowing thereby that it was all up with her, she started up, and clawed his face like a very virago. — These exertions only sent forth the froth more abun dantly than ever, when the wily beadle, thrusting his finger into her mouth, at the imminent risk soap of having it bitten o ff, hooked out a large piece of worked up into a state of lather not to he sur passed by the best patent shavims brush. The prisoner said she lived with her sister in Ben. s mondsey : she averr ed she had been subject to fit for some years, but in what manner the soap found its way into her mouth, except that she might have put it there for safety when she felt the fit coming on, she could not imagine. The Alderman inquired if the surgeon was in attendance to give his opinion that the fit` was the an imposture? Potte r said he was not; but hen woman recovered he considered it a mere trick. The ALDERMAN told her if the s urgeon had been present to state what he thought of the hysteric she would most indubitably have worked off her next fit at the tread-wheel; but he cautioned her against getting into an hysteric in the street henceforward. Om Saturday the porter of the Cross Keys Inn, Wood -street, was summoned for not delivering a parcel, add ressed to Mr. Minton, of Cheapside, within the time limited by law. The complainant said the porter brought the par cel on Thursday last to his warehouse, but refused to let it go out of his hands until he had first received payment for the carriage. A half-crown was thrown not upon the cou nter before him, but that do, it must be put into his hand. It was in vain to tell him that there had been no refusal to pay, and that the charge was deemed a proper one (for com plainant bad possession of `hell ticket, which was s 15d.) ; he wo uld not part witthe parcel unles Mr. Minton would say he would pay for it. Mr. Minton would not repeat the prescribed form of words, but again said he did not object to the charge. This did not satisfy the porter, and com plainant ordered him out of the premises tor his in , solence, and went to the booking-office to complain of his misbehaviour. Here, however, he wit.; in sulted ; and he had therefore appealed to the Ma gistrate. The parcel had not been delivered yet, and•complainant was not awa re from whence it had been forwarded . Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said this was such a gross case of misbehaviour, that he should fine the porter 2Us., and 3s. costs; and if the parcel should not be delivered in a proper manner, he hoped the com plainant would bring an action against the coach office.—The fine was paid. BoW.sTitEE'L Mr. 8., of Drury-lane Theatre, appeared at this hpfore Mr. HALLS, respecting the circumstances :---, They had, durinv the past week, been endeavour ing to " burn out” tht.; tetattts of tome houses which they described as tiroarels',. in Barl.street, Finsbury. Men were placed before the itonte Of w i t h with l a nterns and boards inscribed " Beware z 1 houses," but the men had been beset and assaulted by people from the houses, and a disturbance created. . Mr. BROUGHTON said it was not to be wondered at if a disturbance had been occasioned, for the course which they had adopted was illegal, was calculated to increase the evil instead of abating it, and to lead to breaches of the peace. The law gave them no authority to make any per son's house out as a brothel qithout taking the proper steps to prove it so. They should procee d by indictment, instead of acting as they had done. One of the gentlemen spoke of tho difficuch lty and .expense of prosecuting the owners of su places to conviction. Mr. BROUGHTON said the law directed that such houses should be proceeded against by indictment. The mole which had been adopted was illegal, and tended directly to a breach of the peace.n which the After some further conversation, i iNlagistrate gave the gentlemen credit for their good intentions, they retired with the design, we believe, of acting by his advice. ,X TEN SIVE FORGERIES. LAMBETH -STREET. On Saturday Mary Frith, an elderly woman, and Ii liz.abeth Frith, her (laughter, were brought before Messrs. WALKER and on a charge WY of harbour ng UTFIE an LD d , a county Magistrate , concealing a girl named Eliza Willis, the.anghcir ter of a respectable tradesm an, under the follow d ing cu mstances:— the fatter of the g irl, stated, Mr. Daniel Will is, that his daughter, who is only 15 years of age, ab sconded from her home about a fortnight ago, and a f te r searching in every direction, and being put great a nxiety a nd trouble , he at len g th found In the abode of the prisoners, who kept a house of fame in Old Gravel-lime, St. George's in the Bas. On leaving home his daughter was decently attired, but the prisoners had stripped her of her clothes, which they had pledged, and substituted the clothes she now had on, which were not worth a shilling. Mr. Thomas Burford, a headborough of St. George's, said the house belonging to the elder pri soner was an infamous brothel, and she sent out her own daughters at night, and received the produce of their ill-gotten gains. The daughter of the la tweed uced wit ness had b e en decoyed from her home, and in by the prisoners to come and live at their sink of iniqu ity ; and since she had been with them they encouraged her to walk the streets and lead a life of i n f a my and prostitution, that they might reap benefit t herefrom. The e lder prisoner denied the charge o f harbour ing the girl for had purposes, and said she took her in out of charity : her husband held a situation in t h e Excise department, and she kept no improper ler al house. Mr.l3urford repeated that the house was a cbm tnou brothel, and well known as such. The parents of the girl said every means had been used to reclaim her, but without effect. On one occasion she raised a report that she was starved and barbarously treated, and by this means caused a mob of between 400 and 500 persons to assemble in front of the house, who threatened to pull it their and they had some difficulty in escaping with their lives. The AlagistrateE, after expressing their indigna- 1 tion at the conduct of the elder prisoner, ordered 1 her to find sureties for her future good behaviour, and a dvised the parochial authorities of St. George's, w h o were p resent , to indict her for keeping a dis orderly house. 'rhe other p risoner was discharged, and the girl \ was allowed to depart with her father and mother. H ATTON.G ARDEN.

He had been in business about eigh seller, but about eighteen t e en years as a map months ago he op ened a large warehouse, which he fitted up w ith expensive apparatus , to carr y 0.1 the trade of an engraver also, in which line he is said to have been clever,. having obtained the engraving department of several banking houses. His house and establishrneut were upon an elegant scale, and every thing denoted him to be an opulent tradesman. Ile was about lofty years of age, of a very prepossessing exterior, and agreeable manners, so as to deceive those who at the time had no reason to suppose he was carrying on business with a fi c titious capital , or that he was otherwise than a man of consi derable substance. He kept a number of work men and several apprentices. There is reason to believe that he has been carrying on his for geries for m an y years, by putting respectable names to bills, and taking them up a day or two before they became due, so as to prevent any s uspicion of th eir being genuine. Of in one or two instances, a strong suspicion was en tertained that the bills were forged ; but the great severity of the law made the parties unwilling to prosecute, and upon the tnoney being paid the sub e ject was dropped. These instances seem induced Mr. Gardner to adopt the plan of oun get- ting a good su m of money, and leave the c try before a final explosion of the extent of his defalcation was made, which he foresaw would sooner or later take place. It is supposed that he quitted London on the 29th July, having on that day left home with his son, a lad of eight years old, under - the pretence of benefit ourninof his g for a fortnight in the c ountry far the health : since that time he has nor not been heard' of, and eit her on that day, or shortly after, was seen in the London Docks looking after a gentlem a n vessel about to sail for New York.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL AND THE ",REPEL!? PICKERING. The visit of the Solicitor-General to the Fleet Prison, the report of which has gone the round of nearly all the Journals in the kingdom, has excited a lively interest in the public mind as to the fate of the various victims to Chancery Prac tice. This interest has been particularly direct ed to the " rebel " Pickering. Already many professional men have offered their services " gratuitously " to put in an answer for him, especially after it appeared in the public prints that there was a large sum of money connected with the case. We have not heard that any professional man made a " gratuitous " tender of his services during the previous fortnight, during which time that uninteresting particular was not known. It appears that Sir E. B. Sugden, with a promptitude that does him the greatest honour, wrote to the different Solicitors connected with the various .cases that came before him, and, among others, to some of those connected with the "..rebel " Pickering. - The following is the letter of Sir Edward to Pickering:— " Lincoln's Inn, Sept. 29, 18g9. " MR. PICKERING—I have seen Mr. Arthur Clarke and Mr. Ware about your business, and I ant sorry to find Mat it is owing to yourself Mat you are now confined in the Fleet. However, at my request, the parties will put in an Answer for you, but you must furnish them with a certificate of your mar riage, or enable thena to obtain it. Let me, as a friend, advise you to act with candour, and to get quickly out of the Fleet. lam quite sure that it will be your own fault if you remain there long. Your friend, " EDW. B. SUGDEN." Immediately after the wretched man had re• ceived this consolatory letter, which came while he was acting as a scullion in the kitchen of the Fleet Prison, and selling a few oysters to keep himself from perishing of hunger, he received the following note from the Solicitor employed against him : " Mr. Davison will be very happy to wait on, or have the honour of a call from, any Member of Par liament who has felt disposed to interest himself in the behalf of the defendant Pickering. Mr. Davi son also has the intention of calling personally on the Solicitor-General upon the subject. " 19, Bread-street, Cheapside, Sept. 29, 1829." To the note was appended the following Bill of Costs : IN CHANCERY. MICHAELMAS TERM, 1828. HARLAND v. PICKERING. Instructions for Attachment against the Defen dant, for not putting in his Answer £o 6 8 Paid for Attachment Warrant and Messenger Instructing Officer ... 0 3 4 Paid for Return of Non eat Inventus Attending thereon Letters, &c.

Paid Fees to Tipstaff on Commitment Paid for Order and entering Copy thereof, and attending the Warden of the Fleet with the original Order and left same. 0 6 8 Letters, Scc. Here was a damper ! One hour the destitute rebel is told by the Solicitor-General that it is owing to himself that he is in prison, and that at the request of that distinguished officer :of the law certain parties were ready to discharge him ; and in the next in comes a bill of costs which cannot be made " costs in the cause," amount ing to about 101., to be paid by one who had not 10s. in the world, and whose wife but the day before had been applying for relief to the parish workhouse I The bill of costs gives us some curious infor mation. It appears to be the practice of Chan cery to make returns of non est inventus (" he is not to be found"), when a poor defendant is to be found any day in the week, and any hour in the day—nay, indeed, when he is in the very Court itself; before the eyes, and under the nose of the legal gentlemen who are making such return ! To be sure, when he has money in his pocket, or when, perhaps, the " costs of contempt" may be made " costs in the cause," and to be taken out of the property, there is no necessity for further proceedings. Under such circumstances lie may " clear his contempt," i. e. pay the fees and be off ; the strict Chancery meaning of non est inventus being, " not to be found with money in your pocket." The consequence in this case to poor Picker ing, of not having 1/. 3s. 4d., as appears by Mr. Davison's bill, was his committal to the Fleet as a " Rebel" (the expellee of going to which prison being about 305., as appears by the same bill), and the plunging of his wife and family into utter destitution, with no hope, and no friend, save the hOpe of an order from a Magis trate, and the friendly regard of the parish over seer. The case of Pickering is, in all its parts, a sa tire upon the laws. He was a pauper in the poor-house of Spitalfields, with his wife and an infant child, when an uncle of his wife's died, leaving her mother the interest of the fifth part of about 25,0001. during her life, and after her death, a third of the fifth to each of her three g _ i children. She is alive, and neither Pickering nor his wife . can take any thing at present.— Other parties were interested in the will, among 'others the husband of a lunatic wife, and some infant children. Both of these commenced suits in Equity at the time Pickering got out of the poor-house, and was maintaining his family by hawking oysters, fish, and fruits in the streets. A solicitor was applied to, to act for Pickering and his wife ; but Pickering and his wife had no money, and solicitors cannot work without. The proceedings that have already been pub lished followed. Pickering was seized as a " rebel," who " got out of _the way" in " con tempt of his Majesty's Proclamation," being all the time in his old quarters at Shoreditch, sell ing.oysters, &c. daily in the streets; was taken to a lock-up house ; from thence to the Vice- Chancellor, who, with his customary humanity, deeply pitied him, and asked him if he would sign an answer that should be prepared for him 'by the opposite party ? He gladly consented, and the next day expected to be discharged ; the next day he was again taken before the Vice- Chancellor, and the answer being read to them, they said they were agreeable to sign it. But there were the costs of the contempt to pay.--e. Money to pay these costs they had not. The Vice-Chancellor kindly inquired whether these costs could not be made costs in the cause ? " No," says Mr. Rolfe, the Counsel, " they cannot ; I must move that he be committed to the Fleet till he clear his contempt." The Vice- Chancellor was obliged to make the order, ob serving at the same time that they could not ex pect so destitute a being to be able to pay those costs. He was committed, and placed in the " poor side" of the Fleet, having no money to pay the fees for the Master's side (the prison of Chancery requiring fees in the same way as the Court of Chancery), and his wife, then seven months' advanced in pregnancy, was handed over with her infant to the tender mercies of the Parish Authorities.--This is Chancery Practice.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION,IiOUSE. On Saturday Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Com mittee of Bankers, wAited upon the LORD MAYOR, to acquaint his Lordship with an attempt made by Hollinshead, who was about a month ago committed to prison to take his trial for robbing, in conjunction with two others, one of whom is named Pedder, the St. Neot's bank. The ease with which Hollinshead got out of pri son certainly argues but little in favour of the prison system at St. Neot's. It appears that some ladders were, whether by accident or intention we know not, left within the walls of the prison, at the very part, of all others, where Hollinshead and other pri soners, who were very likely to take advantage of such an opportunity, were confined. It happened that the keeper of the prison was in the front, at a distance from the spot, and that the workmen who had been labouring went to dinner. Hollinshead, upon seeing " the chance," proposed to scale the wall, and his motion was acceded to nenz.'con. Se veral prisoners got over; and ran along through the fields; but the eye of inquisitiveness was after them. Some country people, who were labouring in the fields, raised a hue.and-cry upon seeing a set of fellows, so unlike their honest neighbours, scour ing along the meadows. They were seen lurking about the hedges, and watched, until the Governer received intimation of their escape. A party of constables were immediately sent after them, and they were pulled, one and all, from amongst the furze-bushes. Hollinshead lay closer than any of the rest, and there was a general cry of " fetch him out with a fork." A fork was used, and he was ac• tually poked out, and lugged off with the rest to his old quarters. The Governor immediately put him in double irons, and it is believed he will be kept in them until the day of his trial. The robbery had been, we understand, effected by means of keys, made after impressions upon wax, and the amount is, it is reported, between, 6,000/. and 7,0004 A reward of 1001. has been offered for the apprehen sion of two other persons who are suspected of hav ing been concerned in the robbery of the St. Neot's bank. A young fellow named Richardson, aged 17, was charged w►th having attempted to violate the person of a little girl named Ann Russell, his cousin. It appeared that the attempt had not succeeded, and the whole family, who appeared to be in deep afflic ton at the charge, interfered to prevent the Lord Mayor from sending the lad for trial. The LORD MAYOR ordered bail to be given for the prisoner, and said he regretted to find a disincli nation on the part of the relatives to punish a fellow guilty of such conduct. The relatives cried out," Oh, we are all closely related, and he shall never have the opportunity again. Forgive him." The LORD MAYOR said that a prosecution might have the effect of saving his life. He (the Lord Mayor) believed that he should order the City So licitor to prosecute. PRICE 7D. and had been in custody for committing a burg'ary. The prisoner said that he had deserted her. He replie4lbut he was only absent from her when he had gone on different voyages, and he made her an allowance during his absence. Mr. HALLS—These long voyages often produce awkward consequences to married men. The prisoner was committed for trial. M A RLBORO U GH-STREET. A solicitor, named Pitcher, acting on behalf of Messrs. Stultz, of Bond-street, and Mr. Edge, the Clerk of the Records in the Treasury, who resides in Essex -street, applied for the Magistrates' protec tion for the latter gentleman, who had been assailed in an extraordinary manner by a gang of ruffians, in consequence of his giving evidence against a man named Sandford, who is in custody, together with his wife, and a man named Leslie, on suspicion of being concerned in the late desperate burglary in Clifford-street. It was explained that owing to no fewer than 10 daring attempts havint, been made to effect a burglarious ent ra n ce i n t o M r.' Edge's pre mises since the 30th of August last, that gentleman, who is advanced in years, and extremely infirm, sat up every night, provided with fire-arms, to protect his property, and thus his rest and peace of mind had been entirely destroyed. His apprehensions were increased that morning (Saturday), at the re- ceipt of the two following atrocious communications, which strived-by the two-penny post, addressed to " Mr. Edge, Esq., 34, Essex -street, Strand." On the outside was written, " Not to be opened by any body but Mr. Edge himself." The first ran thus : " Oct. 2.---Kind Sir, I hope you will take care of yourself for the future, for I'll serve you a trick for this; you remember Bow-street work, for the Devil and my companions will set fire to the whole house, and burn it the first opportunity, and murder all that is in the house—i send this line to you to be careful fur the future ; remember my whole companions in gaol—l remember you civil. " THE DEVIL." The other lette; was in a different handwriting from the first, and the following is a verbatim copy of the infamous scrawl : " If you don't take care of yourself i'll serve you out for what you false swore against my partner, you cursed rouge. Take care of yourself, or i'll give you a pill.—Take warning. " A NOTED - HOUSEBREAKER." Mr. Pitcher expressed himself satisfied that the object of the gang was to intimidate Mr. Edge from appearing in Court against Sandford, who had lived in his service as footman, in December, 1827, when he and his wife were discharged ; and the repeated burglarious attempts made on his premises (where, upon one occasion, Sandford was found concealed) raised a cnniiderable degree of suspicion that he was implicated in them, as well as the burglary in Clif ford-street. Mr. CoNANT thought the letters most infamous productions, and rendered the writers of them liable to a criminal prosecution. The Worthy Magistrate then offered to afford every assistance to bring the parties to justice; and here the matter for the pre sent terminated. George Cooper, an individual attired in a fashion able style, and apparently about thirty-five years of age, was on Friday night brought before Mr. Co- NANT, charged with the following felony : It appeared that the prisoner entered the shop of Messrs. Nicholls, hosiers, in St. James's street, on Friday afternoon, and stated that he required two or three pieces of silk pocket-handkerchief, for Colonel Stevenson, of Upper Grosvenor -street, an imaginary gentleman, of whom the Messrs. Nicholls possessed no knowledge. The prisoner selected an assort ment of handkerchiefs, which he ordered to be sent that evening to the Colonel's residence. Mr. Nicholls observed the prisoner slip one of the hand kerchiefs into his coat-pocket. Mr. Nicholls imme diately collared him, and the prisoner dropped the handkerchief on the floor. He was then given into custody. It was ascertained that no gentleman named Stephenson resided in Upper Grosvenor street. The prisoner solemnly protested that he never had any of the goods in his possession, having only selected them ; but Mr. Nicholls swore posi tively to the above facts, and the prisoner, who offered bail, was remanded. ~~~~~ SCOTCH MARKETS.

A fire broke out on Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, in the extensive wine and spirit cellars of Alderman CHRIS/01'1MR. SMITH, 20, Queen-street, Cheapside, which, from the nature of the stock, and the dense volley of smoke and flame wills which the whole was enveloped, threatened not only the destruction of the extensive premises, but those contiguous. The engineer of Queenhithe was instantly on the spot with his engine, and lie having taken the precaution of closing the doors and all apertures, immediately laid on the water, and in troducing the hose through a hole made in the cellar door, succeeded in keeping the fire under until the arrival of St. Mary Aldermary engine, when, by the united exertions of the men, the flames in about half an hour were got tin der. Considerable damage has been done to the valuable stock of wines, &c. The fire is supposed to have origi uated in a spark from a candle having dropped en seine straw, which becoming ignited, set fire to a very large vat, filled with spirits, and had vent been given to the smoke and flame before the engine was ready, the consequence would, no doubt, have proved exceedingly destructive.— BETON, the ward beadle, by his exertions, prevented the property removed becoming a prey to depredators. GUILDHALL Alfred Alfredius, whose wife was committed a few days since for annoying the overseers of Bishops gate, presented himself at the close of the business, and stated that having observed in the Times news paper that his wife had asserted he was keeping another woman, he attended in the hope of meeting with the Magistrate before whom this assertion was made, and that he would be permitted to prove by the testimony of his wife's brother that her state ment was utterly false. lie declared solemnly that since he had been compelled to separate from his wife through her immoral conduct, he had not at any time been living with, or supportingany other woman whatever, and he begged the Magistrate to examine his witness on the subject. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER, however, said, he could not allow more of the time of the Court to be occupied with mere explanations of this nature. Four journeymen bookbinders, named Thomas Austen, James Booth, John Soper, and Charles Clarke., were brought up on suspicion of maltreat ing a watchman, named George Dee, belonging to Blackfriars. Dee is in Bartholomew's Hospital, and his state ment of what had occurred was forwarded to the Alderman, which was, that in passing through Ire land-yard, on St. Andrew's-hill, at ten minutes before one, he was beset by four or five men; that one of them, with black whiskers, had knocked him down, struck him repeatedly while on the ground, and had jumped upon his breast and belly with his knees; that he tried to spring his rattle, but the rest of the men prevented him, and while be was down treated him in a strangely contemptuous and indecent manner, which we cannot particularize. At length he was conveyed to the hospital inwardly injured, and with one leg broken and the uncle dislocated. On the part of the prisoners, u man named Rawell said that the watchman began the conversation with the prisoners by talking about sparring. Soper said he thought he could knock his bead about. He was sure he should give him (the watchman) the first slap on the head. They both stood in attitude, and he could not tell who struck the first blow, but the watchman had the first fall, and on getting on his legs agai❑ was going to strike Soper with his stick. Soper cried out, "Do you mean that ?" and they had another round, which ended in the watch man falling and " tipping up" in the kennel. Soper wrenched the stick from him while he was down, and said he should use nothing but his fists. The watchman did not get up, but said his leg was broke; upon which somebody said, " Oh, he is a cursed cur," and they all walked away. Soper said that the watchman struck him the first blow ; his leg was broken in falling, and it was quite an accident. The other prisoners gave a similar statement. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER dismissed them, and committed Soper for the assault. BOW-STREEL Sarah Talton, a woman of rather repulsive ap pearance, above forty years of age, was charged with intermarrying with Bondfield Bryant on the 2d of October, 1827, her husband, Henry Tatton, to whom she was married on the 28th of August, 1822, being still alive. Stevens, the officer who took the woman into custody, produced copies of the registers of both marriages. Both husbands were in attendance. Mrs. Mary Tatton, of Fenchurch-court, Commer cial-road, Lambeth, said, that she was the mother of William Tatton, the husband of the prisoner, to whom she was married at St. Mary's church, Lam beth, in 1822. The marriage took place against her wish, and her son was eighteen years of age at the time. Bondfield Bryant came forward and stated that he is 25 years of age : he was married to the prisoner at St. Mary's church, Islington, in October, 1827. She passed as a widow when he married her. The mother of the last witness said that she was present at the marriage, and she believed that the prisoner had no less than four husbands living. Mr. HALLS—There is no accounting for taste, but it is somewhat surprising how the old woman could induce the young men, whose united ages scarcely exceeded her's, to marry her. The prisoner burst into a fit of laughter. Mr. HALLS --You may laugh, but you will find that what you have done is no joke. Tattoo, the first husband, said that the prisoner had been ntoot abandoned ; she bad run him in debt QUEEN-SQUARE. On Wednesday last, just as the sitting Magistrate, Mr. MARRIOTT, was about leaving the office, Mrs. Alsop, of No. 18, High-row, Knightsbridge, who had complained in the course of the day to the Magistrate, that her hasband had not fulfilled his promise of paying the arrears of her weekly allow ance which he had promised the overseer to do on Monday, as appeared in the Times of Thursday last, again entered the office, accompanied by Mr. the overseer, to whom she had been directed by Mr. Marriott to apply. Mr. Wilson stated that he had received on Mon day last 3/. 3s. from Mr. Alsop, for his wife, which he had just offered her, and she refused to take it, the arrears being a few shillings more; he had en deavoured to persuade her, but in vain, she refused in the most violent manner, and he therefore wished to know what he was to do with the money. Mr. MARRIOTT advised her to take the money which was offered to her by Mr. Wilson, but she still refused to take it without having the whole amount. Mr. MARRIOTT told her she was a most obstinate woman, in not taking the money. Mrs. Alsop still refused, without she had the whole, and complained that 12s. per week was not sufficient for the maintenance of herself and child. Mr. INlAutuorr told her if she thought that vras not sufficient,:the overseers might take the 12s, per week, and they would support her in the work house. This appeared to have some effect, and Mrs. Alsop took the money, and left the office. UNION-HALL. A man named Edward Dowling, a cooper by trade, was charged with having intermarried with Esther Whelan, his first wife being alive. Esther Whelan produced the certificate of her marriage to the prisoner, which was solemnized in the month of May, in the present year. She etated that the prisoner had treated her with great cruelty since the ceremony was performed, adding, that his first wife had come over from Ireland, with half a dozen children, and insisted on his supporting her self and family. The parish officers said that the prisoner was co habiting with a common prostitute, notwithstanding he had two wives, or more for aught they knew. The first wife, who was very reluctant to prose cute the prisoner, said she would give up all claim to him if she and her family were passed to Ireland. Mr. CHAMBERS said the case should be proceeded with, as the prisoner was deserving of severe punish merit. The first wife then observed, that the witnesses to the first marriage had emigrated to America. " Be sides," she added, "if they were in attendance, I don't think that would help the case, for we were married by an excommunicated priest, and thus a marriage, I believe, does not hold good." Esther Whelan said that she should not live with him again, and inqui re d w h e th er s h e was bound to remain single in the event of the prisoner's discharge? Mr. CHAMBERS—I am sorry to say that there is no evidence before me that would justify me iu com mitting the man to take his trial; therefore he must be discharged, but will still be liable to apprehension if the s.ecessary witnesses can be procured at a future time. The Magistrate added, that if the prisoner neglected to support his first wife and family, he _'-.4 -~ S. would be amenable to the pariah ; n‘ndin answer to Esther Whelan's question, 10?, to whither she I ra% hound ti, remain single, the Mae - i.i.r.re tainly n v." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 3.—The Eden, 26 guns, left Fernando Po on the Bth July, on a cruse, to re cover the health of the remainder of the crew. Colonel Nichols accompanied (`apt. Owen ; both of these officers having bean indisposed. The Eden, we regret to state, had lost eighty men. Mr. Allen, a Second Master of the Sybille, has lost both his legs, by the accidental discharge of some musketry nhich was lying on the deck of the tender in which he was serving, and which was got ready in consequence of the tender being in chase of a strange vessel. One seaman was also killed, and two others wounded slightly, from the same accident. Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Rose, dated Halifax harbour, Sept. 8 :—" We are just arrived from the Bay of Fundy, where we have been cruising some time. We had orders to proceed on to Bermuda, but they are countermanded, and we shall return to the Bay in a day or t wo. It is ex pected that we shall take the Governor, Sir Pere grille Maitland, who is in bad health, to. Barbedf*s, and in that case we shall winter at Newfoundland. The Admiral, Sir Charles Ogle, is gone to Quebec, and is expected to return the middle of next month. The Champion, Captain Scott, left this for Quebec yesterday." The Menai, 28, Captain Bourchair, was towed into harbour on Monday, by the Carron steam-vessel, to be paid off. On the same day, theßramble cutter returned to Plymouth. The Basilisk cutter arrived from the Eastward, on Tuesday, and sailed the following day to Ply mouth. Yesterday arrived the Sparrow cutter, from a cruise; and the Arrow to-day sailed on a cruise. • IThe Neva transport, 'Coombes, arrived on Wed , nesday. She sailed from Quebec on the 25th of August, and Halifax on the 12th September. Ori the 16th ult. she spoke, in lat. 45 W. long. 57 N. the Six Sisters, of Preston, for Richebucto, out thirty-six days, which had lost her maintop-mast in a gale on the 25th of August. The Neva sailed this day for Deptford. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Bissett, came into harbour this afternoon. The Corinthian, Chadwick, arrived on-Monday, and sailed on Thursday, for New York. Sailed, on Monday, the Boyne, Warren, for Bombay. An order has been received this week, to send out two recruiting parties, each with a Captain, from the Division of Royal Marines. It is is understood that the Right Hon. J. W. Croker gives a farewell dinner on the 11th instant, on retiring from the office of Secretary to the Board of Admiralty. Lord Yarborough's Falcon and Lord Vernon's Harlequin yachts, had a trial of sailing, a few days since, at the back of the Wight; the former is a ship which has scarcely ever been beaten; the latter is a brig, built at Fishouse, on a pla►► suggested by Captain W. Symonds, and was eminently the winner in the present contest; she weathered on the Falcon at the least three miles, or three miles and a half, in a four hours' beat to windward. The free trader Lord Amherst will call at Spit bead in a few days, to take in her passengers for Calcutta; the ship Lady Holland, for the same des tination, will follow in a few days after. The Catherine Stewart Forbes, Captain Cantle'', arrived here on Wednesday last, to take on board 200 convicts from the hulks at this port, for Sydney. They are under the care and superintendence of Dr. M'Ternan. A detachment of the 63d Regiment, under Major Fairtlough, is embarked in her. The convicts were transferred from the hulks to this ship yesterday. Among other striking instances of that great urbanity and kindness of consideration displayed by the late Commander-in-Chief on the coast of South America, Sir Robert Otway, towards his officers, it should be mentioned that during the period of his command, three years, he never permitted an offic©r of his ship to be disturbed (as is the usage), to attend the quarter-deck on his leaving the ship, or on his coming on board; yet on all occasions, when Captains and Commanders of the Squadron, Con suls, &c. quitted the Flag-ship, the forms luid down in the instructions were rigidly observed towards them. The last portion of the Victualling Establish ment, being the slaughtering department, was wholly removed from this town to Weovil on Wednesday last, the new erections at which place are of the most commodious and substantial description. The erection of other store-houses being yet in contem plation, it is naturally inquired from what funds are these improvements defrayed, not a shilling having beet► as yet appropriated to them, by any specific Parliamentary grant.

REPORTED FALL OF SITUMT.A. (From the _Hampshire Telegraph ) PORTSMOT TH, OCT. 3 IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROII CON STANTINOPLE. The following communication frnei an Officer of the British squadron we received this morning.— he strong fortress of Shuntla has been taken by storm, after en obstinate rosistance by the : " Off Tarapia, in the Bosphorus, Aug. 28, 1-!.:729. " Authentic accounts have just reached us, stating that Shumla, the strong and almost impregnable for tress commanding the passage over the Balkan, has at length fallen into the hands of the Russians. We have not, as yet, heard the partieulars of the battle ; but I apprehend that the slaughter on both sides trust have been truly dreadicl, particularly amongst the Turks, who appear to have defended that im portant fortress with the greatest obstinacy, under the direction of the Grand Vizier. Shemla was rarried by assault ; and the Vizier, the hope of the Turkish army, with all his Staff, is now a prisoner in the hands of the Russians. And thus Russia is now in possession of a garrison which may be con sidered as the master-key that opens the door or high road to the destruction of the Turkish domi nions in Europe, should she be inclined to follow up the splendid successes which have hitherto at tended her arms. The vanguard of the Russian army advanced upon Adrianople, and summoned it to surrender. This city, the most regular and beau tiful in all the Turkish empire, was defended by Omer Pacha, who, at the head of 25,000 men, marched out to give the bold invaders battle; but such is the broken spirit of the Turkish soldiers, that they no sooner received the first fire of their powerful foe, than they threw down their arms and fled precipi tately in every direction. In consequence of the general defection of the army of Omer Pacha, lie re urned to the Sultan's camp at Ramis Chiflick, near Constantinople, and submitted his hopeless case to the merciful consideration of his Royal Master. The Sultan was about to follow the custom of his prede dessors, by ordering the bead of the forlorn General to be taken off; but after a few seconds' (minutes would be fatal) reflection, his Majesty, in spite of Sultanic pride, let fall some tears, and pardoned the defeated Pacha. On Monday the Mosques were opened, aid the empire pronounced, by the mouths of the Priests of Dervises, to be in danger; after which a Firman or Decree was published, calling upon every fifth mart to take up arms in defence of his holy religion; but such is the state of blind in difference into which the Mussulmen have fallen, that even were Mahomet to rise from the dead, it is a question if they would draw the sword of ven geance for him. The Grand Seignior can make no stand whatever against theßussians ; he cannot now, out of his hundreds of thousands of fighting men, collect more round his person than from 18 to 20,000. In consequence of this the invaders are ad s•ancing with confidence, and have pushed on two heavy columns, one to seize the castles on the Eu ropean side of the Hellespont, and the other to seize those upon the same side of the Bosphorus. The advanced-guard of the Cossacks are within twenty miles of this place; the first column has reached by forced marches the Castle of Gallipoli, on the Marmora side of the Hellespont or Dardanelles. To this place we have sent the Rifleman, in company with a Turkish steamer, who has Commissioners on board, for the purpose of offering terms of peace to Russia; and we have also dispatched the Hind cutter to Sir Pul• teney Malcolm►, who is now lying off Tenedos.— Thus we have no other European companion in the Bosphorus now but the French frigate l' Armidc. General Diebitsch, the Commander in Chief of the Russian invading army, is now within 20 hours' march of Constantinople. The Ambassadors of all the European Powers at this place have sent a deputation to him, calling upon him to halt ; and strongly protesting against his approaching any nearer to Constantinople, under the certain pain of incurring the displeasure of all the Courts of Europe. In consequence of this it is expected that the Russians will not enter the city, and hence that an immediate peace will be the concluding scene. The Sultan must yield to the terms which Russia proposes, and which indeed are no more than the fulfilment of the Treaty of Akcrmann, viz. the free occupation of the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, and the free navigation of the Bos phorus and Dardanelles. It is thought that the Russians will now insist, pa►ticularly after having had such a series of splendid successes, on the right of their ships of war passing the Dardanelles, and of thus opening an unqualified communication be tween the Seas of the Euxine and the Mediter ranean." FOHEiGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday.) PARIS, OCT. I.—His Majesty's schooner Emu lation, now at Toulon, is preparing to go to Brazil, and to fill up what is still wanting to com plete the hydrographical survey of Baron Roussin from the Island of St. Catherine's to Cape St. Mary. The captain will also make a chart of the entrance of the River Plate. The Dauphinoise schooner, Lieutenant Audrey, which sailed from Smyrna on the 29th of August, with despatches for the Government, arrived at Toulon on the 24th of September. The Volligeur, from the coast of Algiers, which it left on the 18th of September, with despatches for the Government, arrived at Toulon on the 25th. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, SEPT. 2 1 .—ln consequence of the result of the judgment of the late Captain-General, Caro M. Lagnan, Governor of Madrid, has just been ap pointed Captain-General of New Castile. General Don Jerome Valdes, second in command in the pro vince of Arragon, has been summoned to Madrid. It is thought lie is intended to be the successor of M. Lignan, in the government of our capital. Others are of opinion that General Valdes has been sent for by the Government to give it some information connected with an expedition which is much talked of, and upon which the Government has asked the General's opinion. It is said that the expedition is intended for New Spain, that the troops will assemble at Cadiz and Ferrol, whence they will be conveyed to the Cana ries, as the place of general rendezvous, where the corps will be organized, and thence proceed to its destination. Lieutenant-Colonel Don Domingo Aristizabal has been sent to the Havannah with de spatches relative to this affair.

GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, SEPT. 27.—The Odessa Journal of the 12th says, " We have just received news from Con stantinople of the 3d inst. Nobody in that city entertained any doubt of the conclusion of peace, as military operations are suspended both by sea and land. The executions are so frequent, that the number of victims that have already fallen is thought to be greater than it was in 1826, when the corps of the Janissaries was abolished. It is said that many distinguished persons are in danger of the fate which the Sultan has allotted to those who are so unfor tunate as to excite his suspicion."—Prussian State Gazette, Sept. 28. JASSY, SEPT. 12.—We learn, by private letters from the theatre of war, that Rodosto was occupied by the Russians at the end of last month, and that they immediately took measures to make themselves masters of the forts of the Dardanelles. Rodosto is said to have made no resistance, as all the Asiatic troops from the army' of the Balkan, that fled thither, had been .conveyed to Asia by orders of the Sultan, to prevent a renewal of the excesses com mitted by these barbarians. Nothing Was spared in lie way which these undisciplined hordes took upon their flight. Robbery, murder, rape, marked their •,1 spa, and the Russian troops. were every where re ceived by the defenceless inhabitants as their de liverers from the excesses of their own countrymen. The highest commendations are bestowed on the • discipline of the Russian army, and on the hu inanity of Count Diebitsch, who has gained the general esteem at Adrianople. In general the con duct of the Russians appears to have made a great impression on the Mussulmans, many of whom wish for a change. Is is even said that seve ral Paellas have proposed to Generals Diebitsch and Paskewitseh to join the Russian standard, if a suitable rank in the army were given them. But the Commanders in Chief are said to have rejected all such offers as would look like insurrection. The furkish Commissioners at Adrianople have obtained a delay of twelve days to make a report to the Sul tan and the Divan, and to have the peace accepted. The general levy is at a stand, and all the inhabi tants of Rumelia remain tranquil spectators. In fact, the Sultan is surrounded on all sides by trea chery, and the most distinguished Mussulmans abandon his cause. Zhe Commander of the forts on the Bosphorus was beheaded because he was ac cused of being connected with the discontented in the capital, and of having spoiled the ammunition intended for the defence of the forts, by wetting it. The whole empire is in a melancholy state, and a nod of the Russian Emperor would suffice to over throw it. VIENNA, SEPT. 21.—Mercantile letters from Hermanstadt mention the taking of Shumla by the Russians. Though there is no particular reason to doubt this event, which is not improbable, and as things now stand, would be of secondary importance, entire credit is not given to the news, because, if true, we should most likely have learnt it officially either by Adrianople or Bucharest. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 14.—1 t is said that General Diebitsch left Adrianople on the 10th, and followed the army on the road to Constantinople, and that the Russian and Turkish Plenipotentiaries followed him. Hence it is inferred that every thing is pre pared in the Russian army to take possession of the capital, if the Sultan should not sign the conditions of peace within the time fixed; but it is supposed that he will hasten to do it in order to stop the march of the Russian army, and save his capital. Peace may therefore probably be concluded under the walls of Constantinople, and the world be con vinced that it depended solely on the will of the conqueror to take possession of it. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, SEPT. 15.—8 y accounts from the right bank of the Danube, the Pacha of Scutari seems disposed to leave Widdin, and march to Sophia, to rally all the Turkish troops on the way, and make a diversion in the rear of the Russian army, in favour of Constantinople. If he could join the Grand Vizier, who can still detach 16,000 men, without hazarding the safety of the place, such an undertaking might have been import ant and dangerous to the Russian communications, if it had been executed at the beginning of the month. Yet it would hardly have escaped the vigilance of General Geismar, who would have found means to baffle it. If carried into effect at a later period, it would only lead to the destruction of the capital, and the violent overthrow of the Ottoman Empire.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, Sept. 27 and 28.

A British Cabinet Minister passed through here yesterday evening, on his way from Verona to Lon don, with despatches. A division of 1,200 men is assembled at Harder wyk, to be embarked for the East Indies. The Brussels Papers contain long accounts of the journey of the Prince of Orange through the pro vinces to review the Burgher Guards, of which lie is Colonel. The Brussels Papers, to the 3d of October in. elusive, contain no news from the theatre of war. VIENNA, SEPT. 23.—We every moment expect a courier from Constantinople or Adrianople. The letters from Odessa and Bucharest contain nothing new of any interest. A report, which has for some days prevailed here that Shumla had surrendered, is not yet confirmed. _ _ _ The Metalliques are to-day 1001; Bank Actions, 88. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 16.—According to accounts from Widdin, the Pacha of Scutari has advanced along the Danube, towards Turno. Other accounts represent him to be marching against Sophia. General Geismar has collected reinforce ments, and appears prepared to act again on the de fensive, and to intend to pass over to the right of the Danube. With respect to the negociations at Adrianople, we learn that they are likely to hare a satisfactory result—at least, thin much is known, that the only difficulty is the Russian demand for indemnity, which is said to amount to 200,000,000 of silver rubles. All the other conditions will be readily conceded by the Porte. In the mean time the Rus sians are advancing from Adrianople towards Con stantinople on all sides, but they do not- . march by the straight roads. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, SEPT. 7.—(Pro bably by mistake for Sept. 17.)--In consequence of the state of inactivity in which the Turks re main on the right batik of the Danube, the reserve of 12,000 men from Russia does not now ap pear to be destined for Wallachia, as the troops have been ordered to pass the Danube in two divisions at Galatz and Braila. A corps which had entered Wallachia, and was marching towards Krajova, has been directed to take a position in front of Bucha- rest, and to await the farther orders of General kis- selew. The Tuiks remain tranquil in Widdin, with the exception of making some unimportant excur sions from an island in their possession on the Danube.

BUTTER TRADE OF CORK.—APPOINT MENT OF A NEW WEIGH-MASTER.—In consequence of its beinc , ascertained that the present Butter Weigh-Mas ters are liable to severe penalties for weighing and brand ing any butter packed in firkins, not made conformable to the 3d GEO. IVth, which regulates the precise size and dimensions of such casks, and as no firkins packed with butter, now brought to market, come within that de scription, there remained no other alternative for the Committee of Merchants, in order to preserve a public Weigh-house, but to recommend to the Mayor to appoint, by virtue of the power in him vested under the 4th of ANNE, a general Weigh-Master, who will not be subject to penalties for weighing firkins either empty or filled with butter, not made conformable to the directions of the above Act. In consequence of such recommendation, presented to the Common Council yesterday, PETER BEsNoon, Esq. has been appointed to this situation, and all the difficulties which tended to subvert the sys tem of a Public Market have thus at length been removed.— Cork Constitution of Thursday. _ On Thursday morning last, as a - lad in the em ploy of Mr. UREN, innkeeper, Penzance, was driving his master's horse and cart, in which was a lad, the son of Mr. UREN, on the western beach, the horse ran off and made,directly for the sea. All attempts of the young man to stop the animal were in vain, and in a few, minutes they were "at sea." The screeches of the child soon at tracted the notice of several individuals, who immediately ran to their assistance, and, owing to the active and praiseworthy exertions of the men is the employ of Mr. STEVENS, roper, the whole were saved from a watery grave. One of these men immediately plunged into the water, and swam to them, as they were now at a great distance from the shore, and first took the child on his hack, and landed him safely, although the child was ex ceedingly frightened; he then returned to the cart, and brought a rope, by means of which the horse, cart, and lad, were very soon drawn ashore : and after great diffi culty in cutting off the harness, the poor animal was libe rated. The horse groaned piteously, and when brought to the shore was quite exhausted.-- Falmouth Packet. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1829. The Times of this morning states that Govern ment yesterday received despatches, annoncing that Peace had actually been signed by the Russian and Turkish Commissioners, at Adrianople, on the 14th of September, the day ap pointed for the expiration of the time al lowed by General DI EBITscH. The terms are not stated nor are any particulars given. The Atlas of yesterday stated the same thing, with the addition that the indemnity was to be paid in ten instalments, but the amount of the indemnity was not given. Now, our cotemporaries may be right in the main fact, seeing that the SULTAN has no alter native but to surrender ; but we have made inquiries at the proper office, and up to the pre sent hour (three o'clock), Government have re ceived no information on the subject. No de spatches have yet arrived announcing that the treaty had been signed on the 14th. Should any arrive in the course of the evening we shall state the fact. There must be some mistake. DIE BITSCH hadset offon the 10th for Constantinople. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th Sept. contains no news. The Austrian squadron in the Mediterranean is to be reinforced on the Barbary Coast; but we think the Austrians have little chance of effecting anything important► if the French can do nothing : VENICE, SEPT. 19. The Imperial brig Ussera sailed from this port yesterday, with orders, as we hear, to reinforce his Majesty's squadron in the west of the Mediterranean. A new frigate, the Guerreira, built in the Im perial dock-yard, was lately launched here with complete success. The Hamburg Reporter, and other Papers to the 30th Sept., have been received this morn ing. They do not contain any news from the East later than what has been received through other channels : STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 18. Of the 3,599,000 rix dollars, asked by the King or the army and navy, the Financial Committee of the Diet has granted 2,820,000. It is said to be now decided that the Diet shall close its sittings between the 4th and 12th of December. ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 23.

The fall of Shumla is again reported. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 29th Sept. contains accounts from Vienna of the 23d, at which period no authentic news had been re ceived from Constantinople of the treaty of peace having been signed. The greatest anxiety was manifested for the arrival of intelligence:— VIENNA, SEPT. 23, We expect with great anxiety the next news from the theatre of war, and from Constantinople, where events become every day more and more important, for the fate of the East and the future situation of the European States. It was generally believed that the treaty of peace, the conclusion of which seemed indisputable, would be known here by the 22d; but up to this day at noon nothing official has been received. It is known that General Die bitsch intended to leave Adrianople on the 10th, and follow the army on the road to Constanti nople, and it is thought that the removal of the Russian head-quarters may have caused some delay in forwarding the despatches from Constantinople. However, the ordinary Turkey mail is expected every hour, and though it is only of the 10th instant, it may bring very important news. The last mail from Semlin of the 13th inst., brought wo r d th a t a cor ps of Turkish cavalry, which had marched from Macedonia towards Sophia, had disbanded itself and committed great excesses. The Minister of State, Couut Von Kollowrat, and Ba ron Munch Bellinghauseu, President of the Diet, arrived here yesterday. Prince Metternich is ex pected to-morrow from Lenz, and his Majesty the Emperor on the 27th. TRIESTE, SEPT. 22. Letters from Ancona say, that the English garri son in the lonian Islands, the usual three years for whose service is nearly expired, will not return to England, but be reinforced by fresh troops. It is said also, that the English squadron in the Archi pelago expects considerable reinforcements. The Viceroy of Egypt, who has hitherto carried on the commerce of his country as a monopoly, is said to have rendered the purchase and dealing in all goods quite free. Some houses here, that made large profits by the old system, seem to be not much pleased with these new regulations of Mehemed Ali. The contents of the French Papers of Satur day and Friday will be found in another column. They do not contain any news of the state of affairs in the East, but all was expectation. The following is from our Paris Correspondent : PARIS, OCTOBER 3. It is stated in private letters from Bucharest, received in Paris this morning, that the armistice between the Russians and the Turks, if ever for mally reduced into writing, is only maintained, de facto, on a single point, and that in every other respect the military operations are proceed ing with all their former activity. Partial engage ments were daily taking place, and it is clear, at least, that the Russians were strengthening their various positions, Mid preparing to carry on the war with vigour. The troops stationed in Bu charest and in the neighbouring villages had re ceived orders to form themselves in columns and march on Hirsova, where they would pass the Danube, proceeding to Jenibazar to strengthen the grand army. At Bucharest these troops were to be replaced by other reserves, under the command of General Kisselew, and every thing seemed to indicate that these reserves would take up their winter-quarters in Wallachia. Great convoys of ammunition are constantly arriving at Bucharest, and the roads in the neighbour hood had the appearance of the commencement of an active campaign. These facts seem to offer a strange commentary on the former intelligence, that the war was to terminate on the 14th Sept. by the signature of the treaty of peace. It is added however that the negociations still continue : and that although General Diehitsch had left Adrianople on the 10th, and that the army was advancing on the route to Constantinople, the Plenipotentiaries of Russia and the Porte were following in the rear of the army. Those who are most sanguine as to a speedy termination of hostilities seem to believe that the Sultan would not allow the 14th to elapse without ratifying the treaty, and that peace would be concluded under the walls of Constantinople, so as to prove to the world that it depended on the conqueror whether he chose to take possession of it. A •eserve of 12,000 men, which had been destined for Little Wallachia, had received orders to proceed in a different direction. They were to pass, the Danube at Galatz and Brailow, in two divisions. Eight hundred men had already pe netrated into Wallachia, and taken the route to Krajova, but were stopped within a few days' march of Bucharest, where they were to await the further orders of General Kisselew. If the warlike as pect of the facts which are thus communicated should meet with confirmation the fall of Shumla would, no doubt, liberate a very considerable force, so as to enable the Russian Commander to add materially to the strength of the troops under his immediate command. Of the nume rous versions which are given of the conditions now stipulated by Russia the following seems to meet with the most general belief:-Ist, The possession of military positions in Asia, so as to threaten Turkey, in the same manner as Persia is held in check by the last treaty. 2d, A pe cuniary indemnity for the expenses of the war. 3d, The destruction of several forts on the Da nube, the existence of which might endanger the fate of a campaign in Bulgaria ; and 4thly, The free commerce of the Black Sea. The Liberals are rejoicing in the result of the elections, which are just announced in four of the departments. In that of the Cilte d'Or, M. Hernoux, the Constitutional Candidate, has been declared to be the Deputy for the depart ment, by a great majority, at the first scrutiny. In 1827 the candidate in the interest of the- Villele Administration had 268 votes, while the Liberal candidate, having 314, gained the elec tion by a majority of 46. On the present oc casion M. Hernoux has 371 votes, while the Ministerial candidate has only 207 ; thus gain ing the election by a majority of 164. In the department of the Eure, M. Legendre, the Constitutional candidate is returned by a ma jority of 301 to 32 ; and in the department of the Tarn, M. Gelis, a Liberal deputy, has also been returned. At Mayence, however, the Royalists have a decided majority ; so that the Liberals resolved to concentrate their votes on M. Charles Dean de Luigne, who, although a Royalist, is the most moderate of the candidates in nomination. The general result is decidedly unfavourable to the Ministry, more perhaps from the indication it affords of the general feelings of the people than from. the numerical advantage which it gives to their adversaries in the Chamber of Deputies. It is announced that the Baron de Vitroiles, Minister Plenipotentiary from France at the Court of Florence, has been appointed Ambas sador at Vienna in place of M. de Laval. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia is expected shortly at Brussels, to meet the King of Prussia. The Countess Diebitsch has been named lady of honour to the Empress of Russia, in conside ration of the eminent services which her husband has rendered to the Imperial Crown. The resignation of another Prefecture is an nounced this morning, that of M. Fussy, of the Department of the Cher, transmitted, it is said, in answer to the circular of M. de Labourdonnaye. M. Fontan, who had fled from France to avoid imprisonment for a literary offence, has been forcibly expelled from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and carried to Crebelt in the Prus sian territory, a measure which is said to be in consistent with the laws of the low countries. The Newspapers of Paris have lately made a great deal of clamour as to an alleged system of smuggling, which is said to have been long in activity under the address of the English Ambas sador. M. David, the head of the Custom house Department, has, however, just published a letter, intimating that it was the Ambassador himself, Lord Stuart de Rothesay, who first de nounced the offence, leaving it to the proper officers to proceed against the offenders according to law. The authorities have determined on sending back the goods to England, but that re solution has given great offence to the conductors of the liberal press. M. Rae Wilson, the celebrated traveller, has been some time in Paris on his way to Scotland. Among other interesting documents discovered by him in his late travels in Russia, there is said to be an original correspondence between Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth of England, and the King of France. These Papers are said to have been preserved, with many others, by the Rus sian Ambassador at Paris at the time of the Revolution. The whole banks of the Seine, from Rouen to Quillebeuf, continue under water. The country is in consequence afflicted with fever, and more than three-fourths of the harvest is lost. In the south of France the injury has not been so great. In many places the vintage will be plentiful, but not of good quality. We have Gibraltar Papers this morning to the 15th Sept. ; by these we learn that foreign earthenware will no longer be admitted into Spain through the ports on the Mediterranean, and in those on the ocean it will have to pay a duty of 24 reals per dozen of large and middle sized pieces, and 18 per dozen on small ones. By the Montreal Papers of the 3d Sept. we learn that Colonel Sir THOMAS NOEL HILL, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General, had arrived there from Quebec, and proceeded to Upper Canada.

The busin ess d o i ng has tr been of consequence.

Some doubt has prevailed in the City of th e signing of the peace between Russia and the Porte; but from the various quarters it has been received, tt may be looked on as official; first, it was receive': late on Saturday ni g ht E x p ress f rom P ar i s , this morning from Vienna and Frankfort. (From the Gazette of Frankfort, Sept. 30.) , A Courier, who passed through thi s t own to-d O P t has brought the news tha t p eace was s i g ned A Adrianople on the 14th inst. bet ween t h e Russia° A f and Turks.

' Consols for Account, 81;0# ; for Nov., 90, sellers• EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Illessager des Chambres of Saturday.) PERA, SEPT. s.—This quarter of Constantinople still enjoys perfect security. The whole Frank po pulation, European Chanceries, Legations, merchants, are all naturally attached to the cause of the Sultan, for he alone protects us, and, in case of a re volution, excited by the enemies of the new reforms, we should probably all be massacred. The authority of the Sultan then can alone preserve us; but we cannot dissemble that there is no more enthusiasm ; that the discontented are numerous, and that the Turkish army is dissolved almost of its own accord. The Sultan has not above 18,000 men left, and the Russians are masters of Adrianople. The Sultan certainly did not expect to be aban doned as he has been, or lie would have accepted the terms proposed by Baron Muffling before the passage of the Balkan. It does not appear that a►iy armistice has been concluded between the Russians and the Turks, the Plenipotentiaries could not obtain terms of peace, or even a suspension of hostilities. The Russ►an General merely consented to allow a certain time, and not to enter Constantinople till it was expired; but he has put all his light troops for ward to be ready if his terms are not accepted. The Plenipotentiaries have returned to Constan tinople, the only person left at Adrianople being the Prussian interpreter. Letters from Adrianople say, that the dispatches sent by Admiral Malcolm to the English Consul at Adrianople have been intercepted. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 15.—The measures which are taken before our eyes give ground to believe, notwithstanding the hopes with which we were flat tered, that the Russians are preparing to prosecute the war with vigour. The troops between this city and the neighbouring villages have lately re ceived orders to march to Hirsowa, where they are to pass the Danube, proceed to Jenibazar, and after wards join the grand army. They will be succeeded here by another corps of reserve under General Ki saleff—and, it is believed, that the reserve will winter in Wallachia. Great quantities of ammuni tion are on the way to this city, so that with us there is every appearance of the opening of a new campaign, which is a singular contrast to the news that peace was to be concluded yesterday. As for the armistice which has been so much talked of, if it really has existed, it must have been at one point only, for there is fighting every day before Shnmla, which is even reported to have fallen.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The comic opera of Love in a Village was per' formed on Saturday night, for the purpose of inter clueing to the public a son of the late CHAR" INCLEDON, who made a n extreme ly success f u l debr in the character of Young Meadows. This gen if tle ; man was net originally destin e d f or t h e stage . 'l ie are informed, that for several years he pursued b at occupation of an agr i cu l tur i st , i n S u ff o lk ; b u t t profession not having latterly produced those 00, 11 : sive pr o fit s , w hi c h f or a l ong per i o d were rea li z ed 11 ,' the tillers of the soil, h e was in d uce d to turn his 1 .; tendon to the study of music, preparatory to f joining that branch of th e t h ea t r i ca l pro f es sion," which his father was one so distinguished and s° r . pular an ornament. Amongst his friends, INCLEDON'S sweetness of voice and purity o f tag', have been greatly admi re d ; an d a l t h oug h he vi a on Saturday night exceedin g ly a l arme d an d emb' ir e rased by the novelty o f hi s s i tuat i on , st ill we 11 .i e of opinion, from the t a l en t w hi c h h e di s pl a yed wrb. labouring manifestly under the .influence of trepid is : tion, that careful study, and the acquirement of .j; due degree of confidence, are alone necessary to Pla c . o him high in his profession. Mr. INCLEDON is is person rath er un d er the middl e s t ature . il e slightly formed, and his legs have the same s°r t of outward curvature which was obs erva ble in th° se - o his father, to whom his features, though the bl y anire a less strongly marked, b ear a d ec id e d re sem e ; In speaking, the younger I NCL E DO N has precisely t ° l , same thickness or lisp of which the elder was able to divest himself. As a singer, his voice is tenor, combining great sweetness with c o n s iderabl e power; ; and he manages it with much skill. P is voice, though it possess not that fullness and I li ' lume which his father was wont to display, yet ill ' quently call e d to our remem b rance t h e organ o f theist: . ter, particul ar ly i n t h e b o ld swe ll o f t h e l ower ton e' Mr. INCLEDON' S f a l setto i s at present wea k, a nd ` l _, does not get into those high notes with all the es"' that could be wished. The intermediate tone . b e ; tween his natural an d hi s artificial voice is harsh; but the defect may be remedied by Prs c _ h t : o f and attention. Hi s ar ti cu l at i on — an d t hi s if forms the very foundation of grace and pathosi faultless. In his songs, every syllable was utter; with perfect distinctness and perspicuity. His s t / c d is more finished than that of his father. He deliYecio the dialogue in a manner extremely creditable N i el good sense. His entrance on the stage was hs ti bir with a fervour of applause approaching to en. t ire il siasm ; and his exertions throughout were mee t o f with every demonstration of pleasure. The P r t his Rosetta was performed for the first time st - " o g Theatre by Miss BETTS. The talents of this Year, lady, at least in the mechanical division of her r her are progressively i m p rov i ng . Th e qua lity ° br o.. voice is good, and her execution is sometimes os i liant ; she is, however deficient i n that whiel t p be termed the soul of harmony—expression. h icb GRADDON made up for the insipid manlier in she sustained the ch arac t er o f M a d ge , by 9,11,7e0t. her simple a ir s ver y p re ttily.

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY). PASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CORN-EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain lest week were considerable, es pecially of New Wheat and Barley ; there was also a fair quantity of Flour. This morning the fresh supplies are moderate of most kinds of Corn. The samples of New Wheat mostly come in very tender condition, and dry par cels meet only a small reduction in valne, while tither qua lities may be reported 2s. to 4s. per quarter lower than last Monday. The quality of the New Batley is middling ; and the prices of last week are maintained for the best, but middlin g i s 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper than on this day s e ' nn i g h t. Beans remain as last quoted. Boil ing Pease, though scarce, are not any dearer to-day. Grey Pease meet a slow sale at last quotations. Oats, unless very fine, may be reported full Is. to 2s. per guar ter cheaper. The Flour trade is very dull, a decline be ing shortly expected in the prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Mr. SHERIFF WARD.—On Friday evening a most sumptuous dinner was given by the principal Ship owners of the port of London to THOMAS WARD, Esq. one of the Sheriffs, on his entering upon the duties of that office. The dinner took place at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate.street, and consisted of the choicest viands, - termd up iri7tge best style. About 180 gentlemen sat down about six o'clock. The LORD MAYOR in the Chair. The splendid liveries worn by the box-keepers of Drury-lane Theatre were provided by Mr. CHARLES WRIGHT, of the Haymarket, who is now box-book keeper of Drury-lane Theatre, vice Mr. SPRING retired. The livery consists of a scarlet round-fronted coat, edged with white, and trimmed with broad gold lace ; a waist coat of the same kind and colour, and a silk plush green smallclothes. It was Mr. WRIGHT'S wish to have the royal livery, Drury-lane being styled the King's Theatre, and the performers " his Majesty's Servants." With this view application was made to the Master of the Robes, who, it is said, mentioned the matter to the KING. His MAJESTY, not wishing to sanction anything that would look like a preference to one house over the other, Bug. gested that it should be turned up with white instead of blue, and as soon as a drtss was completed, it was sent to Windsor. The dresses (eleven in number) were made by SANDS, late foreman to STULTZ, and cost Mr. WRIGHT upwards of one hundred pounds._ Observer. THE LATE FLOODS.--We are happy to an nounce still farther additions to the benevolent fund for the relief of the destitute sufferers by the great flood in August. We understand that the Central Committee in Elgin have it in contemplation to proceed to a division of six hundred pounds amongst them in the mean time, and they hope the friends of this necessary measur e a t a dis ... _ _ tance will enable them to make a second division some time after.—Elgin Courier. NEWS FOR EMIGRANTS.—In the last Ame rican Papers, which have been received from Quebec, there appears a notice which may be interesting to emi grants to Upper and Lo ,ver Canada. The notice is from his Majesty's resident Agent for the superintendance of settlers and emigrants, and stating that 1,000 labourers are wanted at the King's Work Ricleuse Canal, and that the contractors are in want of masons, miners, and stone cutters.—Dublin Morning Register. The old custom of eating goose on Michael mas-day appears to be pretty well kept up in Brighton. At one poulterer's only, on Tuesday, the number sold was nearly 400.—Brighton Herald. We mentioned a few days ago that there was some prospect of the long-talked of monument to the me mory of the Duke of YORK being as length likely to be taken in hand. There is another monument, the idea of which is even of longer standing than his Royal Highness's, and for which the means have long ago been accumulated—we mean that voted by the Members of the Pitt Club to the memory of that great Statesman. We understand that twelve months ago, Mr. GIBB, of Aber deen, offered to excavate a column of Aberdeen granite, in one solid stone of 110 feet in height, for the sum of 2,0001. If this be the case, we cannot conceive why there was any hesitation in accepting the offer.—cal. Mer. The seditious writers affect to be greatly dis appointed by the arrangements at the late civic banquet at the Mansion House. They pretend that the Loan MAYOR has broken his written engagement, by refusing to give the " Charter toast." They have, however, they say, one comfort, as the health of the Duke of WELLING- TON and his Majesty's Ministers was received by the loyal assemblage " with hisses !"—How inconsistent and per verse is faction ! A few months ago, they applauded, the Lord Mayor MONTGOMERY, for his professed deference to the wisdom of " his Majesty's Ministers."—Dublin Morn ing Register. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—In the first three weeks of the last month we hail a good demand for cot ton, with very little variation in prices, except an advance of id. to id. per lb. on Sea Island, and towards the close the purchasing became very animated, 15,000 bags hav ing been sold in the last three days, generally at an ad ranee of *ti. to id. per lb. in all descriptions, except Egyptian and East India, which remain nearly stationary. The total sales of the month were 83,300 bags, of which 5,000 Egyptian, 2,000 American, and 1,500 Brazil were taken fur export, 5,000 American and 600 Surat on spe culation. 1,500 American and 4,500 Brazil were for warded into the country unsold. In the early part of the present week, the business, as noticed above, was very extensive ; but within the last two days the demand has considerably abated, yet the market closed steadily at the annexed quotations. 600 Surat and 5,000 American and Brazil have been taken on speculation; and 1,000 Egyp tian, Maranliatn, and Upland for export. The sales of the week reach 25,000 bags. THEATRICAL (From the Morning Adveriiser.) MS BALLS, who it may be nanembered was so favour ably received on her first appcarance last Se,son, at Miss &ntrrnsoaSs benefit, has, we umleistand, been engand as prima donna at the York Theatre. On the occasion alluded to she was .Mthusia -tically eheored by a highly scientific audience, and sht has since :na.le tTpid im provetnent under the tnithili of R. Evans, the composer, that tht4e can be no doubt of her proving a great acquisi tion to the York Company. The style of her singing is chaste, easy, and natural—her voice possesses much mclody and softness, as well as great power of expressioh; and Cszb have no doubt that iit the coarse of a very short time she will be reaailed to the metropolitan boards. Many are of opinion that with due culture she will be found no un equal rival to Miss STEPHENS. ' .We must not forget to mention, in conjunction with this lady, for they are both pupils of the same master, the very successful appearance which Miss Marutv made at the English Opera-house, on Thursday, last, when she sung " The Merry Mountain Horn" and " Even as the Sun," in a style which astonished the audience, and drew forth loud bursts of applause. She was rapturously encored. This young lady, it may be remembered, was the Arbaces at the Surrey some time ago, in the juvenile corps which ELISTON organized, where her singing was greatly admired. Her style is not unlike that of Madame VESTRIS, and there is no doubt, from the effect which she produced on Thurs . day last, that she would prove a great acquisition to any of our metropolitan theatres. I ler voice has been pronounced truly magnificent by the best judges. I • hose who knew and admired EMERY—and who did not ?—will be delighted to learn that the theatrical talent of the family is not extinct, and that his daughter, Miss Emma; is making rapid progress as a singer, under the skilful and scientific tuition of R. EVANS, to whom she has been articled. This young lady is yet only about thirteen or fourteen : she is tall for her uge, handsome in point of figure, and possesses a countenance which is cha-: . racterized by great mildness and modesty, tinged with some melancholy, of expression. Her voice (for we had lately an opportunity of hearing her sing) possesses great flexibi lity, and no inconsiderable portion of power; and we have 'no doubt that she will be, ere long, an ornament to our I metropolitan boards. BILAIIA3I, who has been playing at Liverpool, is en gaged for a limited period at the Dublin Theatre, at the conclusion of which he returns to " 01(1 Drury." Splendid inducements were held out by Mr. BUNN, the manager of the above-named house, to Miss FOBDE, which that lady was unable to accept, her engagement at Covent-garden compelling her to be present at the opening of that Theatre to-night. Her application to Mr. C. KESIBLE for leave cr . absence could not be granted. STANNBURY takes the situation of director and superin tendent of the chorusses at Covent-garden Theatre, in the room of Mr. WATSON, who has resigned. CHARLES HORN; the vocalist, is engaged at Covent garden Theatre, and will very shortly make his appearan c e at that house in his favou r it e part of • Caspar, in WEBER'S Opera of D,r Freischutz. Mr. ELLISTON, instigated by the success of the nauti cal drama of Black-eyed Susan, at the Surrey, has, it is said, tendered, in aid of the distresses of Covent-garden Theatre, the use of that performance to be played six nights, gratuitously supported (if required) by its original representatives. The new tragic drama of Leonidas, announced for re presentation at the Coburg Theatre this evening, is from the pen of the late Mr. RUTHERFORD, an actor at the West London Theatre, who recently committed suicide during a fit of insanity produced by want and a series of misfortunes. An important alteration in the "shilling order" system is about to take place at the Coburg Theatre. The printed admission to the Boxes will be raised to two shillings, to meet the expense of the new and extensive company form ing at that house, the principal ornament of which will be Mrs. D4VISON, of Drury-lane Theatre. At the Haymarket, Mr. RAYNER, who has few equals in Yorkshire characters, appeared, as we mentioned, on Friday, in Farmer Ashfield, and met a most rapturous reception. Young KEAN is also engaged, and will ap pear direct!) , ; and every arrangement betokens the Ma nager's determined spirit to deserve public support. ASTLEY'S closed a very profitable season on Saturday night with a melange of performances that were quite un rivalled in their peculiar style. Mr. GOMERSAL came on the stage after the first piece, and addressed the audience. In the name of Mr. DUCROW, he returned thanks for the pa-, tronage they had experienced, and stated that it was the intention of the Manager to increase the stud they then possessed, by the addition of several valuable Freneh and Ger man horses. The company would also be made as perfect as possible by recruits; and with a feeling of gratitude they took leave of their patrons for the season, hoping to meet them again, and receive their approbation on Easter Monday. Mr. JONES, who is announced as Lord Ogleby, at Covent-garden, on Wednesday next, has long been a mem ber of the Edinburgh company. In addition to his his trionic avocations, he employed his leisure hours in teach ing elocution. We have known several of his pupils, all of whom bear testimony to his worth and talent. His line (technically speaking) is exactly that of his namesake at Drury-lane —fops, fine gentlemen, &c. Mr. SHERWIN, the most successful personator of poor EMERY'S characters, who was expected to have made his appearance on the boards of Drury early this season, is unfortunately prevented for the present from resuming his professional labours, by severe indisposition. He is about to visit his native country for the benefit of his health, and it is to be hoped that he will, ere long, be come sufficiently recovered to again contribute to the enter tainment of the public. Signor PAULO, with the consent of MATHEWS and YATES, with whom he was under an engagement, is about to quit the Adelphi, for the purpose of taking the situation of young Jox GRIMALDI, at Covent-Garden. Jos is engaged at Drury-lane, at a salary of Si. per week. Mr. FREER, who is announced in the bills of the Co-- burg as being about to appear on the boards of that theatre, is not the Mr. FREER, of the Pavilion—the latter gentleman is under articles to perform for a certain term at the Pavilion. Miss HELMS, from the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, makes her appearance this evening at Sadler's Wells, as Captain Macheath, in the Beggar's Opera. From the capabili ties possessed by the rest of the cast, it is likely to be per formed with credit to this popular establishment. Mr. War.ramsorr, from the Haymarket, we perceive, is also among the new engagements. MS FOOTE'S two nights at Margate and Ramsgate, last week, have been so eminently successful, that she has been induced to renew the engagements at both places. We hear that it is likely there will be two Italian Com panies at Brighton during the winter season, one under the management of Mr. BOCHSA, who conducted the enterprise so cleverly last year, and the other under DE BEGNIS. We understand that it will be impossible to open the Cardiff theatre this season, in consequence of the late rains having inundated it to the depth of nearly six feet— the water was above the stage. The following is a correct list of the pieces produced al le ... English Opera-House : Middle Teaple, a Farce, by PEAKS Mink by Ron- WELL; 23 niglts. Sister of Charity, a Melo-drama, by BANIM ; 32 nights, Incog. "TVhat's in a Name?" a Farce, ANON. ; Mu. sic selected; two nights. Robber's Brije, a Grand Opera, translated by E.

THE EIGHTY-THIRD REGIMENT.—This gallant and dis tinguished regiment, which debar Iced the other day at New haven from Portsmouth, on its route to Glasgow, where it is now stationed, consisted, during the List war, of two bat talions, of which the first went abroad in 1805 to the Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Baird (of the Newhyth family), brother to the dis tinguished General Sir David (lately deceased), who com manded the expedition against that place, which was soon reduced. The battalion afterwards proceeded to Ceylon. On landing at the Cape the battalion was 900 strong. Of these only two officers and five men returned with it. The second battalion, then left in Britain, had ere long a more brilliant career of service opened to it in the Peninsular warfare, having shared in all Wellington's sieges and battles, from that of Talavera in 1808, where Lieut.-Colonel Alex ander Gordon fell at their head, to that of Toulouse in 1814, thus giving our great rival the first blow on the banks of .the Tagus, and turning the tables, as invader, upon him, and the finishing one in the heart of France. Both batta lions, with their joint and well-earned honours, now verge into one ; and, if gallantry in the field, and orderly habits in quarters, entitle a regiment to consideration, the 83,1 must be well received wherever they go —Caledonian3fer. On Thursday last a troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards marched from Norwich, on their route to join head-quarters at Ipswich. An order has been received for the 3d Light Dragoons, now quartered in our barracks, to commence wearing mus tachios.—Sheffield Advertiser. (From the Limerick Chronicle, Sept. 30.) On Saturday last the 53d Regiment underwent its half yearly inspectiun at Cork barracks, and the depots of the 25th and 88th Regitnents yesterday. Major-General Sir George Bingham expressed his high satisfaction at the sol dierlike appearance and cleanliness of the men. The Grenadier and Light Companies of the sth Regi ment, under Major Barrington, are stationed at Ourenard. The garrison of Dublin is now composed of the Artillery, Bth Hussars, 17th Lancers, 2d Battalion Guards, Bth (King's), 32d, and 64th Regiments. Major Pattison, commanding the Reserve Companies of the 97th Regiment, has left Waterford for Wexford, to pre side at a district-court-martial ordered to assemble to day. Captains Holmes and Stannus, and Lieutenant Made, ac companied him on the same duty. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN MEETING (INVERNESS).

YORK CORPORATION.—Yesterday (Friday) a meeting of the Corporation was held, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of electing an Alderman, in the place of ROBERT C/lALONER, Esq., whose resignation we noticed in our last. After the usual formalities, the election fell upon the Honourable E. R. PETRE, of Stapleton Park, who, we are glad to hear, is so far pleased with the ap pointment as to have expressed himself resolved, personally, to attend to the duties of the important office, and to do all in his power to discharge them to the full satisfaction of the public. There were three gentlemen sent up as lights from the Commons to the Aldermen ; these were (in addi tion to the lion. E. PETRE) M. STAPYLTON, Esq. and Colonel WILSON, M.P.

In consequence of the inconvenience felt and the complaints made owing to the closing of some of the General Post receiving-houses, Sir FRANCIS FREELING has ordered several of them to be immediately re-opened. THE SPINNERS.---We have just learned (Friday night) that there is a probability of the spinners going to work on Monday, at the masters' prices, but with out being requested to sign the obnoxious declaration.— Manchester Times. STATE OF TRADE.—We have nothing new to state concerning trade, unless it be a novelty to be able to say, that it is not worse than it was last week. We should be glad to find, from the experience of another week, that the downward progress of prices has been arrested, but we confess that our expectations of improvement are very slender.—Manchester Times. THE HARVEST.—The weather since our last may be said to have been uninterruptedly excellent ; and stacks are accordingly starting up in our barn yards with amazing rapidity. In the course of eight days, pro vided the weather continues as favourable as at present, there will be little or no corn to cut down in the neigh bourhood of Elgin, The fears regarding the safety of the crops occasioned by the late heavy rains and long conti nued bad weather, have now, we rejoice to say, turned out to have been groundless. —Elgin Courier. A French lady having a favourite dog, has in serted in one of the Paris Journals an advertisement in the following tender language :—"Poor Favori is neither very young nor ♦ery handsome, but very good and very affec tionate. The advertiser loved him much, and much regrets him. Let the person who has taken or found Favori despair of gaining his attachment. No ; he will cry, he will groan, he will lose his appetite ; he will never forget his former mistress ; and on any one being hard hearted enough to detain him, if there remain to this un happy little animal 15 or 20 days of life, it is the utmost.'. PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVATION.----On Monday afternoon, in High-street, a fine girl, about five years of age, had a most miraculous escape with her life. Some noise and bustle had got up in the close where the girl resided, when (her mother being absent) she ran to the window, and having lost her balance, fell out, but laid hold of a rope which was placed across it for the purpose of drying clothes. Ikre she hung for half a minute, to the infinite terror of on e or two individuals who witnessed her awful situation ; but before it was possible they could ren der any assistance the child had fallen to the ground from a height of four stories. When the people who had wit- nessed the accident ran to lift her up, as they expected a mangled corpse, what was their astonishment and grati tude, when the girl, in a hale voice, called, " Oh, mither, dinna be angry, for I'm no hurt;" which; proved to be the case, as they found that not a bone in her body bad been broken. She is now doing well.— Glasgow Free Press. , DENIERAR.A. Office. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. *:TION fly nis I WELLENCY SIR D. We copy the following paragraph from a late i Dublin Evening Post : 4 , One of the most numerous and respectable meetings ever held in Galway, took place there on Wednesday last, upon the occasion of Lord Francis his va L s or i d n sh t i l / 7 , i th e i,ir t : ' . " A Cj n o r:l 'e d i rl s, ss vi i s i i, a t ; Mayorproposed to comgmenting him as a member of the Government, particularly upon the spirit of impartial justice in which he di , charges his public duties, and expressing the sense entertained by the meeting of the benefits conferred upon the country by the measure of ernes c;patiee. The address was first opposed by the Rev. Mr. Roche, with reference particularly to the late proceedings in the north and in Tipperary, in which he could not consider that the Government acted in any way deserving of approbation ; he was answered by Mr. Blake, the Chief Remembrancer, who vindicated the conduct of the Government, and was repeatedly cheered as lie did so. The question seas tl.en put upon the address, and Mr. Roche !elving withdrawn his opposition, it was voted by seelamatiore The result is particularly valuable, as it affonis an index to the feelings of a very important part of Ireland towards the present Government. We have no doubt that those feelings will sp:Ta-I and strengthen in all parts of the country, in prodor- Con as the people are assured that the Government really wish to do them justice." in . Now, the above paragraph contains itself the most satisfactory illustration we have yet wit nesed of the natural consequences of the late Relief Bill. Those consequences, indeed, were not unf :reseeil,—they were predieted,t hey were assumed by this journal a thousand times, and reasoned upon as infallible tests of the bene fits to be derived from emancipation. We said that the Catholics were incorporated by their grievances, and by them alone ; and that the only way of decomposing the complex )rut arti ficial body, and restoring its several parts to their stations in general society, was to infuse throughout the whole mass the genial warmth of the Constitution. The priests had, within three or four years, begun to figure in their novel dress of politicians. The Orange outcry wa% against the Catholics as a " priest-driver people." The answer was " No, the priczts are people-driven--they are forced into a place whet 4 the universal pressure forward retains them— wait a little." The fact now speaks for itself. The priests were seized hold of by the Catholic agitators, and were turned to all sorts of mecha nical uses for the moment—here a spring—there a lever—a wedge—a screw—a sledge hammer. The notoriety of the priest—his familiarity tsith the lower classes— the necessity of parochial or , ganization every where, of which he only had the key—all tended to make a convertible tool of him to any grand purpose of -the community, by which alone, and for which lie existed ; although, as the profound nes turalists of the Newcastle school inform,?d us, the whole Catholic community existed, by, an:.l for, the priest.

D'URBAN. Colony-house, George-town, Den.erara, Aug. 1, 1829, FRESH DISTURBANCES AT BARNSLEY, (From the Lceds Mercury of Saturday.) On Thursday morning a number of weavers, from Barnsley, went to prevail upon the Dodwortli wea vers to return their work, and in most instances they were successful, but two of the number de clared their determination to work for such prices as they could obtain at all hazards. On this deter mination being made known to the great body of the .weavers, they came to the resolution to take the work from them by force, and in the middle of the Thursday forenoon a large number of them pro ceeded to the houses of their uncomplying fellow workmen, and commenced breaking their doors and windows, and destroying the work. On the arrival of this information at Barnsley, Joseph Beckett, t. sq. attended by a strong body of constables, and a detachment of military, proceeded to Dodsworth, where they scoured the lanes and fields, and several men and boys, to the number of 18, were taken into custody. During the afternoon Patrick Flani gan was arrested, on a charge, as it is said, of lead ing the men on to the commission of this daring outrage. In the course of that afternoon Lord Wharncliffe, who had returned to Wortley, arrived at Barnsley, and Friday morning was appointed for the examination of the prisoners. At the date of our last accounts the greatest agitation and alarm prevailed, though no fresh excess had been com mitted. The Prussian Minister transacted business with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday, at the Foreign Sir GEORGE MURRAY arrived in town )es terday, from a visit to the Marquis pf CHANDOS, at Wot ton, Buckinghamshire. !

whom the sufferers IoA It to with particair and habitual respect, we learned that they had already made earnest application to General Tor rijos, to exert himself ffir their relief, expressing the utmost confidence in his sympathy and com passion. We are sure, therefore, that any com• mittee of that brave officer's choice, would be to these unfortunates a guarantee for the judgment, integrity, and discrimination, with which their re spective wants would be considered. If this state ment should meet the eye of the gallant Spa niard alluded to, we trust that he will not suffer any over-scrupulous taste for retirement to inter fere with the promotion of an object which must be precious in his eyes on grounds both of na tional and universal charity. Another benefit which might result to the refugee soldiers from such an interference of General Torrijos for their suc cour, would be the perfect recollection which, no doubt, the Duke of Wellington possesses of the eminent military services rendeted by him under his Grace's own command—the conse quent esteem which the Duke must entertain for his character, as well as sympathy for his per sonal sufferings, and respect for his recommen dations on behalf of poor distressed fellow-sol diers. In the mean time, no notice seems to have been bestowed on our supplication relative to nightly shelter ; or on that which we indi rectly addressed to official persons, that these worn-out men might have leave to rest their bones on the pavement of an empty and useless barrack. They have now no place to (lie in but ditches or streets.—lbid. A correspondent informs us of a new insur gent chief having arisen in the county of Clare, under the mime of Terry Alt. This formidable personage is an Agrarian " Le,_cislator" upon the Rockite principle—that is, the rapid and energetic principle of nocturnal burning, murder, and intimidation. What exploits he has yet performed to make his name terrible we arc not told, but it appears considerable alarm exists about the peasantry enlisting under his banners and becoming Terry Alt-men. There ought to Sze no alarm of the sort, if half of what we were told of the tranquillizing consequences of con ceding the measure of " Catholic Emancipa tion" had been true. We were told that mea sure would be equivalent to the " pacification of Ireland ;" that the fuel on which the flames of agitation were fed would be removed ; and the expense of governing by an army saved to the empire. Many persons stho had been originally strenuous opposers of a measure which went to allow Roman Catholics to legislate for the Church of England, although they would not permit any Protestant power to legislate for their own ; many persons, we say, who would not at first consent to this " one-sided reciprocity" of " free trade" in religion were eventually induced to ac quiesce in the " breaking in upon the Constitu tion," in consequence of believing the state ments made both in Parliament and the Press of the vast saving of expellee which was to ac crue to the nation from converting the declaimers of the " Catholic Association" into the Legisla tors of the British people. One paper, which calls itself the " leading Journal of Europe," if we recollect rightly, fixed the amount of saving at four millions annually. According to the same oracular authority the army in Ireland was to be immediately reduced ; and, indeed, the country was forthwith to enter upon a sort of political millenium. Any man who had the hardihood to express a doubt of the infallibility of such predictions was laughed to scorn—he was sneered at by the Solomons of the Press, or coughed down by the Solons of Parliament. The " con cessions" were granted to a fuller extent than the most sanguine champions of the cause could, a few months before, by any stretch of political faith, have possibly anticipated. How has Ireland been since governed ?—without an army? or an army considerably reduced ? The expense of a single soldier has not been saved to the nation. The old factions still continue to distract the country, and new ones spring up under the circle of discord, and preserve the reign of terror and barbarism. Where sleep the energies of Government all this time ? The Rockite banditti have extended their sanguinary operations into parts of the country which were previously undisgraced by their crimes. Why are not those Ishmaelites of the mountains crushed at once ? Our correspondent says that Terry Alt's " usurpation promises to be long and turbulent, unless Mr. O'Connell and some influential agitators oppose his career at an early period." So the hope of protection is not in the Government, according to this account, but in Mr. O'Connell and the " in fluential agitators." If this be true, the security of the peaceable part of the community rests upon as frail a foundation as before the " heal ing measure" was carried. We do not allude to that measure now in any spirit of hostility—but we have a right to remind its advocates of the pledges that were given, and we have a right to demand that those pledges !should be redeemed. They repeatedly assured the people of England that the refusal of " Emancipation" was the sole cause of the disorders of Ireland, and that the measure would be no sooner granted than peace and prosperity would follow as its. inevitable consequences. Instead of that golden prospect opening on our view, the gloom of the past pro jects its shadow upon the future. Every where that disturbance prevailed before it prevails still, and in roost places in a more malignant degree. We wish it were otherwise ; but we cannot close our eyes to the truth. Notwithstanding the boon of Emancipation, the mass of the Irish peasantry, in many parts of Ireland, seem to be anxious for a servile war and wanting only a Spartacus to lead them on. its to Mr. O'Con nell, he promises a new subject of popular ex citement and agitation on the question of the " repeal of the Union." Where then is the prospect of governing Ireland without an army, and saving four millions to the nation as the re sult of her established peace and improvement ? —Morning Herald. • We have much satisfaction in being enabled to state from public and private accounts, that the state of Ireland is considered to afford cer tain evidence of progressive improvement. The Viceroy, in the same sensible and conciliatory spirit which dictated the denial to a somewhat ill advised application for the blessings of the In surrection Act to a provincial district, has put a veto upon a piece of antiquated intolerance, which has usually hitherto signalized the inau guration of the Lord Mayor of Dublin. We 'allude to the ridiculous and. offensive toast of the Glorious Memory. It is difficult to the mere English reader to preserve his gravity, when he hears a convivial foolery treated as a matter of national importance ; but in Ireland it is quite another matter—there the obnoxious toast has long been considered as the Shibboleth of a faction heretofore dominant, but now, fortunately for the general welfare, and in the end not less fortunately for the individuals of . whom. it was composed, rapidly sinking into insignificance.-- It will scarcely obtain credit, but it is neverthe less perfectly true (as we know from a private account), that an application was made to the Lord Lieutenant to sanction a repetition of this irritating, and, therefore, unwise ceremonial, on the 29th of September, the Dublin Lord Mayor's ; that this application was strenuously urged and pertinaciously repeated, and mildly but firmly negatived as it deserved to be ; in fact, an assurance was required, that it would be omitted, as an indispensable preliminary to the Viceroy's acceptance of the Civic invitation. We are in possession of the names of the persons who made this unseemly application to the King's Repre sentative. Had their application not been fol lowed by the rebuke it deservedly met with, we should have felt no hesitation in consigning them to an unenviable notoriety ; as it is, it is better to suffer a specimen of impertinent bigotry, not likely to be repeated, to sink into merited obli vion. We repeat our conviction, founded upon what we consider a decisive authority, that the state of Ireland affords rational grounds to hope for a progressive amendment.—Morning Citron. The accounts from some quarters of the coun try speak more favourably of the state of trade than those of the past week ; but it is evident on the slightest examination of the facts men tioned by our provincial cotemporaries, that the improvement, if any has taken place, is entirely one of degree, and that nothing has yet occurred to justify us in announcing that the country has returned to a state of even comparative prospe rity. More cotton, it appears, has been disposed of at Liverpool during the last week than during some that preceded ; but the demand from abroad is still for cotton yarn, and not for cotton goods, and there is, therefore, but little in the improved sale for congratulation. It appears, also, : that the workmen in various parts of the country are in a state of insurrection, if we may so state it, against the masters—in some cases from the want of employment—in others, in consequence of a reduction of prices—and in one instance from the effect of improved machinery. All these occurrences add to the distress of the times, and particularly to the distress of the working classes—spread a gloom over the face of the country, and alarm and want of confidence among commercial people ; while the failures which occurred on Saturday have added to the panic, and we believe we may state with truth, confirmed an opinion which had been previously gaining ground, that the affairs of the country are in all but a desperate condition. On this subject, therefore, our readers will bear with us in adding a word or two to the many which we have already published, on the state of the country. And, in the first place, it ought to be borne in mind that the inevitable effect of return ing to a metallic currency, and doing away with the small notes, would be a fall in the price of labour, and of every commodity of which labour formed a component part. The value of our currency was raised by the measure alluded to, and a less nominal amount of it, therefore, could be given, compared with what had previously been usual. That the working classes should comprehend this change of things, or indeed the community generally, was not to be expected, until experience had taught them ; and it has ac cordingly happened, that while one class has held out for the same wages which it was accus tomed to receive in a depreciated currency, another has insisted on receiving the same price for the commodities which it had to dis pose of—and hence, on the other hand, the strikes of the workmen against the master, and the all but complete stagnation of trade, both in the wholesale and retail branches. Nor has this been the only evil of the change. The greatly restricted facilities of the Banks in afford ing that accommodation to the trading commu nity which they were wont to supply, has sent many to the Gazette who might otherwise have been carrying on a successful business, and re duced others to a state of comparative inactivity, who, but for the change in question, would have been affording employment to numbers of distressed artisans. The suppression of the small notes has, in fact, greatly aggravated and extended all the irremediable evils under which the country laboured, and increased them to such an extent that it is now generally re ported, that either a repeal of the Act must take place, or a large issue of one pound notes on the part of the Bank of England. With regard to those who have been thrown out of employment by mechanical im provements, there is not only - no -remedy which can be applied to mitigate the evil, but even no reason, so far as this country is concerned, why such improvements should not be adopted. Whatever improvement or useful invention may be made here is immediately made known to our American and Continental neighbours, and, if English `manufactures did not take advantage of them, their .rivals undoubtedly would, and thus would both-the English capitalist and the English workman be thrown out of the foreign market, which, as every one is aware, is not sufficient to consume the supply. Though we regret therefore that " single-hand weavers" should be thrown out of employment by those who have been taught to work machines of four times the amount of power, we see no remedy for the evil but in the " single-handed weavers" learning to .weave on the improved invention. Such changes are daily taking place, and it would -he as easy to arrest the planets in their course as to check that march of mind which is daily giving them birth. To conclude, though the country generally is distressed, there is no good ground to despair. The debt is heavy, and the expences of all the public departments are heavy ; but the country has still within it all the main elements of its former prosperity— the capital of its moneyed men, not to be equalled in any country on the globe ; the in dustry of its manufacturers, which is not to be matched ; the enterprise of its merchants, hi therto unrivalled ; and the intelligence of the community generally, which is not surpassed ; and confident we are that it only requires a wise, a vigorous, and an economical Government, to render these productive of as great a state of prosperity as the country has ever known, and to make the nation as much respected and.feared abroad as when its navy rode triumphant in every quarter of the world, its merchandise found every market open, and its commercial marine an unrivalled welcome in every port.— Morning Advertiser. - The North Somerset Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry (about 800 strong), under Colonel HoaNER, will assemble in this city to-morrow (Saturday) for eight days' training and exercise.—Buth .liesald. On Tuesday night the Ariadne steam-packet while proceeding in the dark down the 'West Channel, on her way to the islands, accidentally ran foul of a small fishing hoy, belonging to lichen, which had imprudently attempted to cross her bows, and immedi a t e l y sunk h er, the force of the concussion being so great, as to cut her into two unequal pieces, on one of which that floated, the men en board were providentially eaved. THE NEW LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN, Wednesday the new LordMayor,Ahlerman Jacob . - West, accompanied by Alderman Montgomery, hi s predecessor in the Chief Magistracy of the city, the new Sheriffs, Messrs. Hoyte and Scott, the %Tor .ler, the late Sheriff, and the different officers of the Corporation, proceeded from the Assembly House in William-street to !he Castle, for the purpose of being sworn into office, before his txceliency the Lot d Lieutenant. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor and the members of the Corporation were admitted into the presence chamber, where they found the Lord Lietrenant sur rounded by the different officers of the household, Lord Plunkett, the Chief Remembraticer, Mr.lllalt, the Attorney-General, Mr. Joy, &e. The Recorder addressed his Excellency, and said, that he hail the honour of presenting to him, Alder man Jacob West, who had been elected by his fel low-citizens to the high and distinguished honour of ;meting as their Lord Mayor fur the ensuing year. Six centuries had now elapsed since the Corpora& 'ion of Dubliu had obtained a King's charter, 'and the same loyal principles now governed that Corpo ration, which were to be found in all its records, and might be considered coeval with the first traces of its existence. Upon this occasion, the first that the Corporation had the opportunity of offering these congratulations to his Excellency, since he had as sumed the reins of government, and of expressing their delight and pleasure on having such a represen tative of their gracious Sovereign, they could not but hail in him the descendant of an illustrious pre decessor, whose virtues and whose munificence had endeared him to the recollections of the citizens of Dublin. He should feel that he would be trespass ing somewhat beyond the bounds of his office, if in the high judicial presence in which he then stood, he should enter into a detail of the many important duties that devolved upon a Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin. The Recorder then glanced at the many important functions which a Lord Mayor of Dublin had to discharge. Amongst these it would be ne cessary for him to look to the state of the poor, and to provide the best means of affording them relief. He regretted to say that the new Lord Mayor would have difficulties of a very serious nature to encoun ter, for he would find himself surrounded by distress, which prevailed to a very great extent amongst the operative classes. It would, however, be a vain hope to hold out that either individual or the com bined exertions of charity or benevolence could sup ply the want of a natural demand for the produc tions of human industry. The process was always painful in itself to transfer a portion of capital from one channel into another. He was certain that the utmost exertions would be used by the Lord Mayor to alleviate the public distress; but while he was anxious to administer relief he should be also vigi lant to suppress outrage and insubordination. He was sure that when the year of Alderman West's office should expire, he should be able to offer him the same testimony of approbation which he now tendered to his esteemed predecessor. That indi vidual had so conducted himself in his office as to win the approbation of those by whom he had been elected. And such had been his desire to serve his fellow-citizens, and such his unbending integrity, as to gain for him the esteem even of those who differed fro►n him in opinion. The usual oaths were then administered to Alder man West, and he was invested with the insignia of his office. Lord PLUNKETT then addressed the Lord Mayor. After the very able observations of the Recorder, he should dispense with saying any thing upon the duties of the Lord Mayor, if it were not usual so to do ; and lest his total silence should be interpreted into a want of respect, which he was desirous of personally expressing to the Lord Mayor himself. The duties of the office of Lord Mayor were com prised in the oath which the wisdom of their ances tors had devised; and in that oath he would find what important duties he had. to discharge. He would perceive that he had to maintain and preserve the rights of the ('rown, and he was bound under the solemn obligation of the oath he had taken to be careful that the revenue should not be impaired in any respect. Next to this important duty, it was his care to look that the regulations between mas ters, servants, and apprentices were duly observed. Much of the mischief that had arisen from time to time, arose from the neglect of their duties by mas ters towards their servants and apprentices. He did not mean to say that there was any peculiar neglect of them here; but it was incidental to human affairs that it should be so, and it was particularly neces sary to look on the domestic relation between these classes in society, that there was a due observance of morality and of religion, without which morality was but a name. Besides the duties which affected the corporation, his Lordship would carry in his re collection, that by the words of his oath he was to attend to the interests of all persons in the city, whether of the corporation, or citizens at large; and that strangers were peculiarly under his care. To all he should administer justice impartially—without reference to wealth, respect to greatness, and no neglect of poverty—within the scope of his jurisdic don, the Lord Mayor should administer equal justice to all. In the discharge of his duties towards his fellow-citizens, as much would depend upon manners as upon laws; and in the administration of the laws, he would deal them out in such a manner as would be best calculated to promote a spirit of union, of harmony, and of concord amongst all classes of his Majesty's subjects. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND then addressed the Lord Mayor and said—My Lord Mayor, after the very full explanation that has been given of your duties, the easy labour devolves upon me of congratulating you upon the situation to which your fellow-citizens have elected you. I entertain no doubt that you will judiciously perform the office of Lord Mayor. My only recommendation to you is, to administer justice in an impartial and fearless manner. lam satisfied that that peace, tranquillity, and good order which has so long distinguished this city, will be continued during your year of office, and I am quite satisfied that you will retire from your office having satisfactorily performed your duties. His Grace added a few words which we did not distinctly hear; but we understood that he congratulated Alderman Montgomery upon the manner he had filled the office of Lord Mayor. The Lord Lieutenant appeared in very good health—he was dressed in the Windsor uniform, and wore the star and ribbon of the order of the Garter. The new Lord Mayor proceeded to the Sessions house, Green -street, where George Hope and William Scott, Esqrs. were sworn to act as Sheriffs for the ensuing year. Mr. Twycross was sworn in Sub-Sheriff. The RECORDER, in speaking of the new Sheriffs took occasion to advert to the manner in which the duty had been performed for the past year, and complimented in very warm language the late She riffs and their deputy for the impartial, honest, up right, and efficient discharge of the offices they had filled. TIIE DINNER. A short time after seven o'clock. the numerous and highly distinguished company, invited by the Lord Mayor, sat down in the round room adjoining the Mansion-house, to one of the most sumptuous dinners ever set forth in that " hall of feasting."— Every luxury which expellee could procure, and every delicacy which taste could select, were laid before his Lordship's guests. The richest and most costly wines were abundantly supplied, and the Corpo rators, and those who were not of the Corporation, had a most magnificent repast prepared for them. — To this dinner there were not less than seven hun dred noblemen and gentlemen invited. Amongst the company, exclusive of his Excellency the Duke of Northumberland, we noticed the following dis tinguished personages :—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Muskerry, Lord Bingham, Sir George Byng, Lord l3rudenell, Colonel Bruce, George Moore, Esq., M.P., Colonel Kingsmill, Captain Percy, Archdeacon Singleton, Hon. Colonel Gore, Capt. General, Colonel I.3yng, Attorney-General, Surgeon- Shortall, the French Consul, Sir Idward teal, the Chief Remembrancer, Sir David C. Roose, &c. &c. As soon as the cloth was removed the following toasts were given from the chair : " The King."—God save the King. " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy."•—Rule Dritanniit. " The Duke of Cumberiand." — Hearts of dalt. (Nine times nine.) The Lotth MAYOR, in proposing the health of the Lord Lieutenant, hoped It wriuld tie reeived with the honours it deserved. N o thing but the wish to meet the citizens of Dublin would have in duced his Grace to venture out in his present deli cate state of health. He was certain that if his health permitted his Excellency to remain he would do great good to Ireland. Ile pEoPoneti-::= " The Lord Lieutenant and prosperity to Ire land."—Patrick's Day. (Three times three.) The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND rose amid load cheers. He said that in returning his thanks he assured the assemblage he received their marks of kindness with gratitude. Every day he continued in the country he felt increased attachment for this land of brave men and of lovely wotnett.-..(Hear, and cheers.)—Let them put away from themselves every appearance of unseemly party. Let us, said his Grace, all labour for the prosperity of Ire land, and we shall see the laws established upon the firmest basis; and when they are administered impartially, we way expect the blessings of trade and commerce to follow.—(Hear, arid cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said he should next propose the health of the Duke of Wellington and his Ma jesty's Minister's.—(Cheers, and some hisses.)—l hope, said the Lord Mayor, that it will be drunk with that becoming respect that is due to them.— (Cheers.) " The Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Ministers."—He was famed for deeds of arms. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, in proposing the health of the Lord Mayor, said that •- a person more competent to fill the situation could not be selected. He proposed— " The Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the City of Dublin."—Fly not yet. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND gave three cheers for this toast. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, observed, that many abuses had crept into the public markets which he was determined to redress; and also re lieve the distresses of his poor fellow-citizens.— (Cheers.) The next toast was : " Lord Hill and the British army."—Britons strike home. Sir GEORGE BYNG returned thanks. " Lord Leveson Gower, Chief Secretary for Ire land."—The tight little Island. " The Primate and Church of Ireland."—When order in the land prevailed. Dean 111‘QuirtE returned thanks. " The Lord Chancellor."—When I think on your truth,,l can doubt you no more. Sir ANTHONY HART returned thanks. " Sir John Byng, and the army serving in Ire land."—British Grenadiers. Sir JOHN BYNG, in returning thanks, said that no country was more deserving of the best exertions of our army; for in no country were the army received with more kindess than in Ireland.—(Cheers.)—ln no country were their services more liberally or con siderately returned. If his thanks were not re turned with that eloquence to which they were ac customed, he hoped that they would not think the less of them, because they were offered with six cerity.—(Cheers.) " The Attorney-General.”—Hope told a flatter ing tale that joy would soon return. " The Lady Mayoress."—Kiss my lady. " George Moore, Esq. M.P."—Bid me discourse. Mr. MOORE returned thanks. Previous to his health being drank, his Excellency left the room, accompanied by the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Remembrancer, and most of the respectable indi viduals in the room. Mr. Moore said he could not but avail himself of the opportunity of deploring that the bulwarks of the Constitution had been re moved. It was known to them all that the spirit of innovation was abroad, and it was necessary for them to be cautious in not permitting themselves to be made unconscious instruments in undermining their glorious Constitution. He hoped that the endeavours to establish Protestant Colonies in Ire land would be successful, and that plan be deemed the best security for the continuance of their Pro testant religion.—(Cheers.) " Lord Blayney and the resident Landlords of Ireland." Lord BLAYNEY, in returning thanks, said that he attributed all the miseries and misfortunes of Ire land to the exorbitant rents exacted from poor tenants, and the absence of the great landholders of Ireland.—(Hear and cheers.) The Recorder and Board of Aldermen, the High Sheriffs, and several other toasts, were then drunk. The company separated at a late hour this morning. 'The" Glorious Memory" was not proposed. THE BOARD OF %VIDE-STREETS. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) The Board of Wide. streets are now seventy ,wo years in their labours ! They began at Par- liament-street in the reign of George the Second, and they appear to have now as great a gad for new enterprises as if they had only commenced operations yesterday. Great improvements have been effected in parts of the city by these Commissioners, but at enormous cost, as will be seen by the following statement : Expended on Dame-street £206,646 3 South Great George's-street 11,029 6 Sackville-street Lower Abbey-street 191,010 10 Sundry other streets North Frederick-street 11,596 1 Westmoreland-street, D'Olier-street, &c. 132,256 4 Fleet-street and College-street Great Brunswick-street 14,880 1 North Cope-street Wellington-quay King's Inns quay 9,380 17 Merchants'-quay . 9,935 6 Cutpurse-row 9,936 11 Werburgh-street 5,757 15 Nicholas-street Patrick-street Migh-street and Corn-market 36,071 19 Wine. tavern-street 15;652 13 Skinner- tow, Christ Church-yard, and Fish-shamble-street 2Q,304 16 Ditto 9,382 0 Ditto 5,419 17 High-street, &c 15,186 17 Ditto 17,581 0 Total £855,148 4 1 There have been receipts in rents and ma terials sold to the amount, probably, of the sixth of the above sum ; but the balance is still very enormous and, of course, it forms only a part of the expenditure of this Board. Our readers are aware that until lately the funds of the Commissioners were aided by an nual grants from Parliament. These grants for some years, during the secretaryship of Mr. Peel, were as high as 19,0001. per annum. Th e y fell off subsequently to 10,000'. a-year, and at length they were altogether witldrawn by Mr. Goulburn. Mr. Peel maintainee, on one occasion, that the citizens of Dublin had a right to these grants arising from the less of their Parliament. If they possessed such a right in Mr. Peel's secretaryship, they did so in Mr. Goulburn's, and that these grants were then withdrawn, is, we presume, only to Je taken as the declaration of the Executive that the labours of the Commissioners ought to be Srought to a close. The Parliamentary Committee which sat in 1825 on the Local Taxation of Dublin, ex pressed themselves doubtful whether any new works, to be defrayed by local taxation, should be undertaken by this Board, and at the same time declared it to be " at least questionable, whether the benefits of any projected improve• inetitg i to the people of Dublin, do not counter- Vail the pressure of this tax." The existing funds of the Commissioners consist almost alto gether of a tax on coals. It is the very worst ta-1; tiniiOuld be invented or levied, and they must be rare " benellti3" indegd which its pres sure would not countervail. The records of the Commissioners furnish many instances of prodigal and useless expendi ture; A.' an instance we need do no more than mention, that geotding to a parnatrentary document published last year they paid within a few years 1,1141. 12s. 7d. for advertisements W a newspaper (the Correspondent) which had, notoriously, in that interval, not a dozen readers in the city of Dublin. Their law costs have been always enormous ; and as to the way in which the business of valuation has been some times conducted we will leave the reader to draw his inferences from the following passages in the Fifteenth Report of the Commissioners on Courts of Justice in Ireland : LUNATIC, WIDE -STREET, AND VALUATION JUarr.S•---. With respect to these juries, the panels of them are pre pared by the sub-sheriff and his clerk. Under the provi sions of the Wide-street Commissioners Act, a precept is issued by these commissioners to the sheriff, by virtue of which he is required to empanel and return a jury for put. poses of valuation. A case has been brought forward in the course of our present investigation, in which there is but little doubt that a Wide-street jury was packed, in consequence of a corrupt dealing with some person con nected with the sheriff's office. The parties whose pro perties were ordered by the commissioners to be valued, having arranged among themselves the formation of a list of names of persons from whom they anticipated a favour able verdict, forwarded this list, through their solicitor, to the sheriff's office. By whose particular instrumentality this management was there effected, we have not been able to trace ; but it is cleat ly proved that the bribe to the sheriff's officer was given by the parties to their solicitor, together with the list, and that the plan was successful, as several of the persons named in the list were actually on the jury, and the valuation was accordingly excessive. The solicitor, however, on his examination, has denied, according to his recollection, the delivery to him either of a list or money for such purpose, and positively denies any payment of money by him, directly or indirectly, into the Sheriff's office. However, in a similar case, in which the sante solicitor was concerned, in the year 1816, so fully impressed was Mr. Alderman Beresford, then one of the Wide-street Commissioners, after inquiring into the subject, that a jury had been somehow packed, that he made a representation of the matter to the High Sheriff; since which period a more respectable class of jurors has been returned for making valuations under the Wide street Act. An increase of the remuneration of these jurors was at the same time made from Is. to one guinea per day; but though more respectable juries have since that time been returned, it appears to have induced a prac tice, which has created much di-satisfaction, of confining the selection of these jurors almost exclusively to mem bers of the corporati-n, an advantage which is greater than would at first si g ht appear, as juries have continued sitting for a considerable number of days. With re spect ro lunatic and valuation-juries, we have to make the same observation. We have published the notice of a new appli cation which the Commissioners intend to make to Parliament for additional funds. We believe it has created general astonishment. The pro fessed objects for which thtse funds are required, are, for the most part, such as it is monstrous even to think of in the present condition of the city. It certainly must have required some hardihood to gravely talk of abating " projec tions," such as we witness in Nassau -street, at a time when the begging-box is at every man's door, and one-third of the houses of the entire city are tenantless, or tumbling to ruins! INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, OCT. 3. Henry Lacey, late a partner in the firm of Knight and Lacey, was brought up on his petition to be discharged. He was opposed by Mr. MAHON, On behalf of Messrs. Alderman Key and Co., sta tioners, and Joseph Robertson, Esq.; and by Mr. Salmon, of the firm of Cunningham and Salmon, In person. Messrs. COOKS and DUNN were Counsel for the insolvent. The insolvent's schedule was of very great length. The debts on the schedule, most of which have been contracted since the bankruptcy, amounted to 2,178/. 17s. 11d. ; debts owing to the estate, 1,7251. ss. sfd.; partly bad, and partly doubtful. The insolvent examined—When myself and part ner went into business, in 1822, we had capital to the amount of about 7001., the furniture and fix tures were worth 5001. more ; the amount of our debts at our first failure in January, 1826, was about 60000/.; we had about 1001. in cash, after our bankruptcy, to begin again with. Mr. Joseph Clin ton Robertson was the editor and part proprietor of the Mechanics' Magazine, in which we had a con siderable share; Mr. Robertson was not the sole proprietor; he received 5001. a-year for performing the duty of editor; its circulation was very great, at one time it amounted to 30,000 weekly. We had also another work, called the Pulpit, which had a good circulation; after our bankruptcy, Messrs. Ire land and Duckworth, the printers, of Fleet-street, became our securities to the assignees, Messrs. Edw. M‘floy and David Sydney, for the payment of the debts owing on account chiefly of the Afechania Magazine; and this work and the Pulpit were then assigned to us by them. By a deed dated June, 1827, we assigned to Mr. Robertson—in considera tion of the sum of 1,2001., to be paid by bills—the copyright of the Mechanics' Magazine. This was done with the consent of our assignees. We re ceived some accommodation bills from Mr. Herne man, of Leeds, to the amount of about 600/. or 7001. The old debts of the bankruptcy were not included in the bills we gave him in return. I be lieve a balance of those debts were included. We gave him also a mortgage on our premises. Messrs. Ireland and Duckworth, when we failed, were credi tors to the amount of about 5,0001. We assigned them a large stock of the Mechanics' Magazine, Pulpits, and stereotype plates of the Mechanics" Magazine. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER here interposed, and observed, the examination had better be restricted to that point. Mr. MAHON then put in the deed of assignment to Mr. Robertson. Mr. Robertson was the bona fide proprietor of the Mechanics' Magazine. Mr. CooKE, for the insolvent, said, if the Court considered the deed of importance, the whole of it must be read ; but the fact was, Messrs. Knight and Lacey had assigned the copyright of this work fora consideration, no part of which had been paid. Examination of insolvent continued by Mr. COOKS.—The consideration money was paid by Mr. Robertson in bills; these bills were taken up by Messrs. Bodden and Walters, solicitors to the Com mission of Bankruptcy; Messrs. Ireland and Duck worth also paid part of them, and ourselves the other. To further questions, the insolvent said, that he left the concern with only 71.45. in his pocket, and the furniture of his bed-room. Mr. Morris Salmon, of Fleet-street, printer, op- posed the insolvent in person on behalf of himself and partner, Mr. Cunningham. He stated that lie was a creditor for 1081. for printing a work entitled Public Characters.—(A laugh.) Cross-examined by Mr. COOKE—I have received, as a security, a considerable stock of " Pulpits."— (Laughter). — They were sent to us to prevent our striking a docket. We consented not to do this,', and also discharged an action to recover 40/. Mr. COOKE—Did you ever issue such an adver tisement as this ?—(heading)—" In the press and , shortly will be published, a copy of the schedule of Messrs, Knightand Lacey; showing how two young men cats enter business with a capital of 500kp *Ild in a short period become bankrupts for 60,r and fail a second time for 20,0001. Price 6(1: - ,. Mr. Salmon—Yes; I thought by exposing tP e,,„ I skould get my debt.— (Great laughter.) Mr, Salmon then examined insolvent—Mare i t r: any interest in your brother's house in St. P se:- Ch urch -yard ? Insolvent—No. Do you not mean, if you get your discharge ° is ; this court, immediately to commence business th ere Insol vent —No. w g The CHIEF COMMISSIONER — Suppose he will not be disreputable for him to do so, on'ff you can chew that he has property there 01 4 Might. td be given up to his creditors. I have he t `, this long find irrelevant examination with paties because I did not wish that any creditoi have the slightest occasion to say that his oppoit',,,,l was not attended to. " Your qttestions," said learned Commissioner, " to the insolvent have W;;, , very properly answered, and he will be discharge:et VIV COURT then appointed Mr. Alderman P . , e ' d the assignee, tail pronounced the insolvent enti t ' o to the benefit of the Act, and ordered him t° forthwith discharged. ere j James William Morris, a person so bewhisk /, 'and mustachioed, as to strongly resemble a ne` l 4, l imported ourang-outang, was brought up from_ ,,{, King's Bench prison, on hispetitiott ;,,P he He was opposed by Mr. HEATH, oti Z o o host of ladies (lodging-house-keepers), with'irl, he had -contracted debts of varionrr the assumed names of Captain Grant, Mr. Wa! Mr. Wall, &c. After the examination had proceeded same W, it was ascertained that the insolvent had not card reedy described various residence' whirs 10_ 4 ' contracted debts, and the. Chief Commissioner 441 " ' sequently dismissed the petition. Mr. HEATH said, the insolvent had assumes many shapes as Proteus, but if he had any difficiP t i,l in supplying the omission of his multitudinous risei, and descriptions, he could refer to the various O f f tia returns with which he had favoured so 11° parishes in the metropolis. As soon as she insolvent had mounted the female in the gallery fainted, and was carried 0 0 4 , Thomas Delves, a genteel-looking man, waf posed by Mr. Hodson, and four other creditors.,l o ; The opposing creditor said he lent the 2001. to start in business, and he'ivished to 101 few inquiries relative to the manner in which:: l o disposed of some of his . property, particidarly a I quantity of wine and spirits, which he had, before he went to prison. The insolvent said he had been recomme ~,It his doctor to drink wine, in preference to 50 liquor or spirits; " so," said he, " I ordered ~ dozen of wine, and some acrd bran( l l',his COMMISSIONER—WeII, and what became of , L ,„ wine and spirits ?

Insolvent--The wine was toitio good, and I am recommended to refrain from fir, ill COMMISSIONER—Of course th ere are no spir it-/. prison ? Insolvent—There is none" (Bursts of laughter.) The opposing creditor then said that the 1 61 vent had contracted debts with nine tailors. i i% It turned out, however, that there were onil tailors. i °ll. The opposing creditors said, that shortly be 6 0 the insolvent went to prison, he contracted debts and pawned the articles ; a dock, in Pet' lar, was pledged after he was arrested. a d The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, this was 0.10 the most impudent attempts he had witness be some time. The insolvent had pretended . to brought into his present state of insolvency IS 7",, sequence of illness, and yet he had drunk int mense quantity of wine and spirits just beforre went to prison ; and, at the Barrie time, hsd_ e frauded numbers of tradesmen out of their 5 - 0 perty, for the purpose of pawning. it. The C a d would be remiss in its duty, were it not to rel is h the insolvent for the longest period under tho_ ne lii section of the Act. At present the Court ww er order the case to be adjourned, to obtain a Insr e _ ive pt plicit account of the manner in which the /one? had disposed of his property, arid when he 01 0 " again the Court would give its judgment.

CHILBLAINS, RHEUMATISM, SPRAINS, &c. BUTLER'S CAJEPUT OPODELDOC. Cajeput Oil, which is the basis of this Opodeldoc, has bees long esteemed on the Continent, as a remedy for Chronic Rheumatism, Spasmodic Affections, Chilblains, Palsy, Stiffness, and Enlargement of the Joints, Sprains, Bruises, and Deafness ; and the experience of late years, in England, proves that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent of the profession, in those ob stinate complaints. Being combined in the form of Opo deldoc, it is rendered more penetrating, awl consequently much more effi cac i ous as an e xt e rnal application. Rubbed upon the skin, by means of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of nerves, invigorates the ab sorbents, and accelerates the circulation. Sold in Bottles, at is.

EDIToR,—At a meeting of the Select Ves try for the Liberty of Saffron-hill, the attention of the Board was directed to a paragraph in your Paper of Thursday last, calculated to excite undue sympathy in favour of two very worthless persons, and equally tending to create a prejudice in the public mind against a respectable individual. The subject alluded to is the application of the pauper, Munden, for admission into the workhouse of the above liberty, the notice of which is contrived so as to convey an idea of the pauper's general re spectability, and particularly of his aged wife's anxiety to fulfil to the utmost her religious duties. The Board thought it due not only to themselves, but also to Mr. Joseph Munden, the pauper's bro ther, to authorise the undersigned, as chairman of the meeting, to state the manner in which the pau pers availed themselves of the order given by the overseer, which, be it observed, was delivered to them at noon of the day in question, to make their entrance into the house. The Curate of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Hoole, was engaged at the time, seven o'clock in the even ing, in performing divine service to the assembled paupers, and found the same interrupted by the en trance of Munden and his wife, both in the most disgusting state of intoxication, almost fighting with each other, and their demeanour so offensive that the other inmates put them out of the room. The Curate, on leaving the house, perceiving that the struggle still continued between Munden and his wife, interested himself to ascertain the ground of their quarrel, which, on his using a little peremptory authority, proved to be, that the man was in pos session of a gin bottle, which the woman was en deavouring to obtain. The undersigned aware that, although the pau pers had long received occasional relief from the parochial funds, the brother, Mr. Joseph Munden, had also repeatedly assisted them, called this morn ing at that gentleman's house, and found that he was unconscious of any particular distress pressing upon the parties at the moment, and expressed his entire readiness to contribute, in any proper man ner, towards the maintenance of such burdensome and unworthy relatives. To follow up the resolution of the Vestry, Ihave then to express my reliance that you will give pub licity to this qualification of your correspondent's statement, which, doubtless, your sense of justice will induce you to comply with.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. ) The Thirty-first Annual Adjudication of Prizes for Fat Cattle was made on Thursday, at the Show yard, in Goswell-street. It must be in the highest degree gratifying to the lovers of improvement to find this Metropolitan and Patriotic Institution not my maintain its ground for 31 years, through the crosses and adversities which have at different pe riods afflicted our agricultural community, but, from the superiority and numbers exhibited this year, proves the leading characters in this Club to be true veterans in the cause of agricultural improvements. The motto at the commencement of the Club was to encourage improvement in all those breeds of animals which were best suited " for supplying the Cattle Market of Smithfield, and other places, with the cheapest and best meat.". The proof of this motto having been strictly adhered to, is to be found in the gradual increasing excellence and quantity of good cattle that abound in every market in the kingdom. Even in these critical times, British en thusiasm in the cause of improvement seems un abated; for I am given to understand the funds of this Club are not in the least diminishing, but rather in7easing. The Noble President and the members appear now as alert as ever to the framing and class— ing their premiums, so as to ensure the fairest and most disinterested competition and encouragement to all the numerous breeds of animals which we by such exertions are happily blessed with. Too much cannot be said in the praise of their noble-minded President, Viscount Althorp, who, it is well known, devotes so much of his valuable time to the improvement and encouragement of every branch of agricultural pursuits, and who is ever steady in his Parliamentary duties to serve the community at large. Can we wonder at the gra dual improvement that has taken place in the breed ing and feeding of animals, when we find that this, and other similar sciences, has been headed by the talents and bounty of such noblemen as the late illustrious Francis Duke of Bedford, by his worthy successor, by the late Lord Somerville, by Sir J. S. Sebright, Bart., and others; arid can we feel sur prised that this Club receives new life to exertions, under the extensive patronage and liberality of such Noblemen and Gentlemen, surrounded and supported as they each have been by all the most intelligent practical breeders, graziers, and agriculturalists in this surprising community ? The metropolis never could boast of a greater number of the first-rate agriculturalists being as sembled, than this year's exhibition seems to have brought together; and they appear, with their usual interest, to examine into the minute merits of the several animals. We observe there is a beautiful black Scotch Ox, sent here all the way from Scotland, at the request of " The Highland Society of Scotland," and which justly attracts his fair share of notice. It is asto nishing to notice the high estimate placed by each successful candidate on the prize that he has gained —trifling in its amount ; but the gain is in the ho nour of having produced the best animal in such a competition as this great Metropolitan Club► offers, and the fact of that prize being made known to the public, with the full particulars of how he fed his animal, with all the minutiae of his competitors, and this honour being conferred on him by the most ex perienced judges of animals that the country can produce. The Sweepstakes this year do not fail in conferring an additional emulation and honour on the winner of them. The public must look on these individual animals exhibited as phenomena only calculated to convince the practical breeders and graziers of the goodness of the breed, and also of the discretion used in choosing that food which would soonest make the generality of such animals, as regards size, fatness, quality and cheapness, most suitable for the public consumption. We observe that the butchers who kill these animals are required to send their:nett weights to the Secretary, which we hope he will in due time lay before the public, as they cannot fail to be useful. The Stewards—viz. Mr. John Buckley, Mr. John Beasley, and Mr. Samuel Bennett, and the Secre tary—appear to have been very active in the ar rangement of the show, and they placed numbers over the head of each animal. The Judges are gentlemen of well known :prac tical experience—viz. Mr. Thomas Chapman,grazier, of Stanley, near Coventry ; Mr. Charles Stokes, grazier, of Kingston, near Kegworth, Leicester shire ; and Mr. Thomas Edward Pawlett, grazier, of Stamford, Lincolnshire; and they made their award of the prizes to the Nos. over the animals, while in entire ignorance of the names of the owners of the stock. The competition was very close in some classes, and they spent the whole day in deciding. At a late hour the labels were put up—we were only enabled to procure the following copies of them:— CLASS L-CATTLE. Shown for the best Ox or Steer of any breed, under six years of age, without restrictions as to feed ing, yet the kind of food must be certified. A premium of 20 sovereigns to Mr. Wm.

Among the company were one or two noblemen of the highest rank, and their attendance to view this show has caused much gratitication to the agriculturists who hare so zealously supported the Club. The display of new and useful improvements are as numerous as usual. Mr. John Hunt exhibited a very useful and practical horse-machine for distri buting ground bone into the soil with the seeds, in six rows at a time, so as to gain the greatest pos sible effect from that useful species of manure. Mr. Bailey, Mr. Marryott, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Parkes, had each an appropriate assortment of new articles required for the cultivation of the soil. Messrs. Gibbs and Son, Messrs. Sinclair and Co., and Mr. Phillips, each bad very numerous and fine speci mens of seeds, roots, and samples of useful yet rare vegetables, well worthy the agriculturist's notice ; and Thos. Edgington showed beautiful samples of rick-cloths, tarpaulines, &c. The Club held a meeting in the Committee-room, t the yard, Lord Althorp in the Chair. The Mem bers saw no reason materially to alter the present year's bill of premiums; but in consequence of Smithfield Market being altered from Friday to Thursday, they have decided to have their Show altered in conformity with that arrangement; and also the Members decided, as their funds were ra pidly on the increase, even this year to present silver medals, with appropriate devices on tach, to the breeder of the prize animals in Class 1., and to the breeders in the Ist prizes in Classes 11. and 111., and hereafter to continue giving these medals to the breeders of the Ist prizes in each of their Classes. The new Members elected were :—Samtiel Craw ley, Esq., William J. Dunkley, Esq., Mr. Charles Nottage, Mr. Samuel Bennett, Mr. Richard Row land, Mr. John Bunt, Peter Allix, Esq., Mr. Baker, Mr. Thomas Umbers, Mr. Thomas Inskip, Charles Leigh, Esq., Sir James Graham, Bart., Mr. Yates, and James T. Senier, Esq. Much other routine business was gone through, which was concluded with a vote of thanks to . their President, for the zeal and talent he had displayed in the Chair. The Meeting broke up after dark, and it had a pleasing effect to cast an eye down the yard, shining as it was under the brilliancy of the gas, with numerous company viewing the animals. It continued crowded till a late hour. MACBETH. (From the Cabinet Cgclopcedia.) PART, HISTORY-SCOTLAND-BY SIR WALTER SCOTT Malcolm died peaceably in 1033, and was succeeded by "The gracious Duncan," the same who fell by the ponial d of Macbeth. On read ing these names every reader must feel as if brought from darkness into the blaze of noon day ; so familiar are we with the personages whom we last named, and so clearly and dis tinctly we recall the events in which they are in t erested, in comparison with any doubtful and misty views which we can form of the twilight times before and after that fortunate period. But we must not be blinded by our poetical enthu siasm, nor add more than due importance to le gends, because they have been woven into the most striking tale of ambition and remorse that ever struck awe into a human bosom. The genius of Shakspeare having found the tale of Macbeth in the Scottish Chronicles of Hollins-, bed, adorned it with a lustre similar to that with which a level beam of the sun often invests some fragment of glass, which, though shining at a 'distance with the lustre of a diamond, is by a near investigation discovered to be of no worth or estimation. Duncan, by his mother Beatrice, a grandson of Malcolm 11., succeeded to the throne on his grandfather's death, in 1033 ; he reigned only six years. Macbeth, his near relation, also a grandchild of Malcolm 11., though by the mother's side, was stirred up by ambition to co►►- test the throne with the possessor. The lady of Macbeth also, whose real name was Graoch, had deadly injuries to avenge, on the reigning Prince. She was the grand-daugher of Kenneth IV., killed in 1003, fighting against Malcolm 11. ; and other causes for revenge animated the mind of her who has been since painted as the sternest of women. The old sm4alist add some instiga tions of a supernatural kind to the influence of a vindictive woman over an ambitious husband. Three women, of more than human stature and beauty, appeared to Macbeth in a dream, or vision, and hailed him successively by the titles of Thane of Cromarty, Thane of Moray, which the King afterwards bestowed on him, and finally by that of King of Scots ; this dream, it 1; said, inspired him with the seductive hopes o well expressed in the drama. Macbeth broke no law of hospitality in his attempt on Duncan's life. He attacked and ble w the king at a place called Bothgowan, or the Smith's House, near Elgin, in 1039, and not, as has been supposed, in his own castle of Inverness. The act was bloody, as was the complexion of the times ; but in v y truth, the claim of Macbeth to the throne, i.,:cording to the rule of Scottish succession►, was bet ter than that of Duncan. As a king, the tyrant so much exclaimed against was, in reality, a firm, just, and equitable prince. Apprehensions of danger from a party which Malcolm, the eldest son of the slaughtered Dun can, had set on foot in Northumberland, and still maintained in Scotland, seems in. process of time, to have soured the tember of Macbeth, and ren dered bim formidable to his nobility. Against MacdufF, in particular, the powerful Maormor of Fife, he had uttered some threats which occa• sioned that chief to fly from the Court of Scot ia nd. Urged by this new counsellor, Siward, the Danish Earl of Northumberland, invaded Scot land in the year 1054, displaying his banner in behalf of the banished Malcolm. Macbeth en gaged the foe in the neighbourhood of his ce lebrated castle of Dunsinane. He was defeated, but escaped horn the battle, and was slain at Lumpkauanan in 1056. Very slight observation will enable us to re ' collect how much this simple statement differs from that of the drama, though the plot of the latter is consistent enough with the inaccurate historians from whom Shakspeare drew his ma terials. It might be added, that early authorities shew us no such persons as Banquo and his son Fleance, nor have we reason to think that the latter ever fled further from Macbeth than across the flat scene, according to the stage direction. Neither were Banquo or his son ancestors of the house of Stuart. All these things are now known ; but the mind retains pertinaciously the impression made by the impositions of genius. While the works of Shakspeare are read, and the English lan guage subsists, History may say what she will, but the general reader will only recollect Mac beth as a sacrilegious usurper, and Richard as a deformed murderer. Macbeth left a son, named Luach, which is translated fat:rus, or the simple. After a few months' struggle, he was defeated and slain at Essic, in Strath-Bogic. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX arrived at Eaton Hall, the magnificent mansion of Earl GROSVENOR, on Monday last, and on the same day a spe cial assembly of the Corporation of Chester was held, at which the freedom of the city was voted by acclamation to the Royal Duke, accompanied with a congratulatory ad. dress. On Tuesday morning the Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and several Members of the Common Council, in official costume, proceeded to Eaton Hall in a hing cavaleade of carriages. They were received in the saloon by the Noble Earl and Lord BELGRAVI, accompanied by Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN, all three in their civic robes. They then proceeded in procession through the magnificent suite of rooms to the drawing-room, at the extremity of which the Royal guest was seated, surrounded by the Countess GROSVENOR, the Countess of 'WILTON, Lady ELIZABLTH BELnaave, Lord and Lady DNLA.MERE, &c. His Royal Highness was dressed in a short green coat, with gilt basket buttons, and worn a small star. He looked well, although his general appearance too plainly indicated that be had not yet entirely recovered from the effects of his late indisposition. The Town Clerk then read an address complimenting the Royal Duke on his arrival in the county, to which his Royal Highness returned an answer expressive of his thanks. - - - It appears by the New York Papers, that Mr. OwEN's party there have returned a member to the House of Representatives.

He was called in Hilary Term, 1780, but he is only a Term or two senior to Mr. SAuaIN, who was also called in 1780, or nearly 50 years ago. Both these gentlemen are senior to any person on the Bench. The Judge who approaches nearest to them is Mr. Justice JOHNSON, of the Common Pleas, who was called in 1784. The Chiefs of the Exchequer and Common Pleas were called in the same year, 1787, Justice Mooax and Baron SMITH, in 1789, Justice JEBB in 1789, but the Chief Justice of the King's Bench was not called until 1793, thirteen years after Messrs. LELAND and SAU RIN became members of the profession. Of the Barristers not practising we believe the Right llon. MKS FITZG ERA LI) is the oldest. He was called in January, 1769, or nearly 61 years ago. He is more than a year senior to Lord NORBURY, and eight years senior to Judge MI - , who was called in 1777.

A young lawyer, boasting of his readiness to undertake the defence of any person accused of crime, dc chred he would as soon undertake the cause of a man he knew to be guilty, as one whom he believed to be innocent.

SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—On Friday, in the Roman Catholic Chapel, Derry, DANIEL INltmLni, to SARAH DouGumv, both inmates of the Mendicity Asy lum, the former aged 74! and the latter fully his coeval. When the ceremnny was concluded, the enamoured bride groom sealed the covenant of love on his fair one's pouting lips with a buss which was echoed from every aisle of the venerable edifice. Ile then gave his arm, with ineffable grace to his darling bride, and retired to spend the honey moon, not where he could exclaim, " 0! love, in such a wilderness us this ;" but within the walls of his quondam residence—the envy of the less fortunate paupers. r Cibtf; *MI+ k!k., LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1829. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 4th nstant alludes to the removal of the Russian head-quarters •to Aidos for the winter. The plague had almost disappeared at Bucharest, and much benefit was anticipated from the restoration of peace. The intended visit of the President of Greece to the head-quarters of General DIE-. BITSCH will not, it is said, now take place, in consequence of the General's objecting to the measure without first ascertaining the wishes of the Emperor on the subject. Perhaps both parties have thought better of it—and the Pre sident did not like to risk the journey, from considerations of a personal nature, with respect to Greece, during his absence : BUCHAREST, NOV. 28. It seems now to be certain that the grand head quarters of the Russian army will be removed for the present to Aidos. We suppose that they have by this time removed from Adrianople. The mili tary hospitals in that city are also to be transferred to Bourgas by the end of this month, when the city will be delivered up to Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari. The sanitary state of this city is now tolerable; we hear but of few cases of plague. As this dis order disappears our commercial intercourse will gra dually revive ; so that, unless some new misfortune occurs, we may hope to enjoy the fruits of the re storation of peace, and the advantages which must Accrue from the essential improvement of our poli tical condition. Though we shall have great num• hers of troops quartered here during the winter, w e hope that this circumstance will not cause provisions to become dear, as the army is chiefly supplied from the Russian magazines, which are extremely well filled. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, NOV. 25. It is affirmed that the projected visit of the Pre sident of Greece to the head-quarters of Count Diebitsch will not take place. The Russian Gene ral is reported to have intimated to Count Capo d'lstria, in a very polite letter, that he cannot ac cept the honour of the intended visit without first consulting his Sovereign; that besides he does not see the object of this visit, as the final regulation of the affairs of Greece would be determined partly b y direct communication between the Courts inte rested, and partly by their Ambassadors at Con stantinople; but that he himself had no instructions to interfere in them in the most distant manner. Frankfort Papers of the Gth of December contain the following with respect to the Presi dent of Greece and General CHURCH. The resignation of the English General clearly proves that Count CAro D'ISTRIA was very jealous of the presenceof foreigners in Greece, especially men of such high character as General CHURCH:— ANCONA, Nov. 20. According to the last Greek Gazette, the publica tion of the letter of General Church to the National Assembly, on his leaving his command, has given rise to that of the report of the President of that Assembly to the Government, on the demand of that General relatively to his resignation. He is accused in this report of having deviated from the truth, and to his declaration that he cannot approve of the present system of the Government. It is answered that it is not for him to form a judgment on this subject. A great number of private persons have offered to establish in Greece, schools on the system of mutual instruction. A letter of thanks, addressed by a Turkish lady who had been set at liberty with her daughters, after being treated in their captivity with the great est respect, testifies the humanity of the Govern ment to the enemy's prisoners. FRANKFORT, DEC. 5. Exchange on London, two months, 152. Accounts from Martinique of the 24th Sept. state that in about three months it was expected that port would be re-opened, as an entrepOt for almost every kind of gooe.s, except those of cotton manufacture. Mr. SHELL has just published an eloquent letter, penned with the most scrupulous care, in which he justifies himself at length for having accepted a brief from the BERESFORDS, as their Counsel at the approaching Waterford Elec tion. This letter was published in most of the Morning and Evening Journals about four months since, and seemed generally to have the effect it was intended to produce, that of com pletely exonerating Mr. SHELL from any un worthy motives in his acceptance of the brief in question. Why, then, has the Learned Gen tleman thought fit to republish it ? The public mind has been long since made up on the subject, and, so far as we can discern, decidedly in Mr. SHELL'S favour. The great ' national question once carried, the Learned Gentleman is clearly a free man. Having ful filled his pledge to Ireland, he is now at liberty to fulfil his d►►ties to himself, for on no prin ciple of justice, or even common sense, that we can recognise, is the opponent of the BERES-. Forms for their conduct during the early pro gress of the Catholic Question, to be expected to keep up his hostility, when the pretext is re moved, and when the BERESFORDS themselves have acknowledged the justice of the cause, for which alone Mr. SHELL wrote himself down their foe. Mr. SHELL is the friend, not the slave of Ireland. He has fought for her, and gained the victory, and instead of fostering the revengeful spirit of her enemies should now do his best to conciliate their esteem and good-will. The following remarks, which we extract from his letter, are eminently conclusive on this point : " The great object of ail our struggles and of our aspirations has been accomplished, and we are at length placed on that magnificent level of British Citizenship, by an assent to which our antagonists have not been lowered, and do not stand upon less elevated ground because we are placed beside them. We are free—and the con sciousness that we are in the possession of li berty should generate emotions far nobler and Jollier than those which it is expected that I should manifest, when am called upon to cherish exasperating reminiscences, and to carry on the same system of immitigable hostility, after all the purposes of contention hare been gained, and the field has been won. So far from being of opinion that this policy of exas peration ought to be pursued, I think that leni tives should be applied to the public mind, as soothing as the stimulants ►ere exciting; amd that the antidote should be as soft and oblivious as the poison which it is to neutralize was active and perilous."

Accounts received from Virginia, of the 15th Nov., state that important developements are making at Washington, concerning former Officers, and that a few of the dismissed collectors are sup posed to be minus from 100 to 150,000 dollars.

THE ANTICIPATED DUELLISTS. Sir C. Wetherell took his meat at the bar before the Lord Ch:incellor entered the Court ; soon afterwards the Solicitor-General passed Sir Charles, and took his usual place, but the two Learned Gentlemen took not the slightest notice of each other. The Loan CHANCELLOR, after he had delivered a judg ment, said I have read in one of the public papers this morning something that passed in Court yesterday—cer tain expressions used at the bar. I certainly did not hear those expressions—l mean the offensive expressions— otherwise I should have thought it my duty to have inter fered at the time. The SoLiciroa- GENERAL—If your Lordship alludes to any thing in which I was a party, I can only say I hare not seen a paper, and therefore I can make no further observation. The Loan CHANCELLOR-Something was said in an under tone that did not reach me. I think it my duty now to mention it, because it would have been my impe rative duty to have interfered at the time if those expres sions had reached me. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said nothing more. Sir C. WETHERELL made no remark whatever, but listened attentively to what fell from the Bench. He seemed to maintain throughout the morning an unusual de gree of gravity and to evince an aggrieved feeling. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L went through his avocations as if nothing unpleasant had transpired. SCOTT V. HANSON. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that in this appeal, (the arguments in which were concluded yesterday,) there were two questions ; first, whether a certain meadow had. been fraudulently described in articles of sale as a water-mea dow? And next, whether a good title had been otherwise made to the meadow ? It was true that the owner had not such uncontrolled power over a river that watered the meadow as to enable him at all times completely to irri gate it, yet he had undoubtedly the ability of watering it to a certain extent. The meadow was to be regarded, therefore, as an imperfectly watered meadow, but not as a nen-water-meadow. For the last century it bad been known and passed by the name of a water meadow. It was not the owner, but the assignees of the bankrupt owner, that had sold it. In the entries in the Court Rolls (three or four), since the year 1718, the meadow had always been described as the Mill Meadow, and containing six acres, although, in point of fact, it contained 14 acres. In the arguments it had been suggested that part of the meadow might be freehold property. This was a possible, but not a probable circumstance ; so possible, however, that the Vice-Chancellor had done right in directing it to go back to the Master on a further inquiry, for the purpose of re moving this slight doubt. The Court, under these cir cumstances confirmed the judgment below, both as to the meadow being water meadow, and the propriety of re fsrring it back to the charter. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for the costs on behalf of the respondent. Mr. WEIGHT opposed the application. His client has been kept out of a good title for 19 years, which he re garded as no very trifling hardship. The Loan CHANCELLOR ordered the deposit to be re turned, but refused to give further costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. YORK Y. FRY. The VICI#ICHANCELLOR on coming into Court, this morning, intimated his intention to the Registrar of giving judgment in this ease on Tuesday next. TUNSTALL V. TRAITES. The Court proceeded with this case which has already occupied several days. Upwards of twenty Counsel are engaged for different parties, :and the case will, no doubt, take up the whole day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. FALSE IMPRISONHENT—YERR, V. WALiNR AND OTHERS. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that this WAS an ac tion to recover compensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff, Matilda Kerr, was a minor, living with her mother, Maria Kerr, who, with Phoebe Jones, carried on the business of a dress-nvaker in the Strand. The plaintiff kept the accounts, and other wise assisted Ow firm. The defendant lived in the Com mercial-road, and carried on several trades there; in the course of business be drew a bill of exchange on the firm of Kerr and Jones for the sum of IV. This bill was ac cepted by the mother, Maria Kerr. She knew the harsh ness of the defendant, and made every exertion to take up the bill, but was unsuccessful. A short time, therefore, before the bill became due, she sent to the defendant, re questing him to hold it over as she should not be able to take it up. On the bill being dishonoured, how ever, he refused to do so, and took out writs in the Palace Court against Maria Kerr and Phoebe Jones. ,An officer named Driscoll, attended by Richards, went to the residence of Mrs. Kerr to execute the writ. The plaintiff Matilda Kerr was there, and Richards persuaded Driscoll to take her, although she was a minor, was not in the firm, and the writ was directed against Maria Kerr. They took her to a lock-up house, where she was some time afterwards visited by a friend of her family named Scott, who endeavoured to procure bail for her. Walker the defendant then came, and being told of the mistake, said " I don't care, I'll keep her as a screw to her mother." The Learned Counsel believed that the defence would be, that the plaintiff was as well known by the name of Maria as Matilda. Lord TENTERDEN before the case had proceeded fur ther discovered a legal objection to the declaration, and advised a reference, in order to accommodate both parties. This proposal was ultimately agreed to, and the case was referred to a gentleman at the bar, without judgment having been given on the legal objection. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

READING ScßooL.—The gentlemen edu cated at this school are about to do honour to themselves by conferring a mark of respect on their late venerable, excellent, and learned preceptor. They have entered into a subscription for the purchase of a piece of plate, to be presented to the Rev. Dr. Va tan-, on his retirement from the active and laborious duties of Reading School. It will no doubt amount to a large sum ; and if grateful feel ing on the one part is measured by the merit of the other, such a pleasing testimonial will be worthy of both. It is to he lamented that the subscription is confined to those only who ware educated in the School : it ought to be— and we hope will be—general.—Berkshire Chronicle. STAG HUNTING.—Mr. RAMSAY of Barn ton's hounds met at Boathouse -bridge, on Tuesday, where a noble stag W. 14 turned out, about half-past eleven o'clock. The hounds were laid on about twelve, and struck off at a dashing rate to the south. At Ingliston Enclosures a short check occurred ; they hit off again to the west, in most gallant style, through 'lanyards, crossed the Almond, passed NewHawn on the right, running on Broxhurn, on the east of which they crossed the Union Canal, taking af terwards a westerly direction by Binney House anti Tar travea Hills, by Bormey to Cockleroy, crossed the hill and came down, skirting Bowden to Bellside, from thence to Carruher Mill (upon the banks of the Avon), where the stag was run up. The chace lasted about two hours, and most of the time at a racing pace for the horses; the run is supposed to by from 10 to 25 miles. There were about 30 gentlemen, well mounted, in the field, but, as might be anticipated, very few were at the end of such a chace, we believe, only Mr. RASISAT and Mr. :yams.— Glasgow Paper.

These Sessions were held this morning before F. Corie , Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates. A gentleman named Davis, a highly respectable r>°. liciter in ale City, was charged with an indelicate assault: Thomas, one of the new police, stated that 0 ", was on duty in Hyde Park on the night of the 20th .0' Nov., when lie observed the defendant walking backwards and forwards for more than an hour, he then missed Isiin for a short time, but afterwards found hitn in a auspicious situation with a soldier. Witness took the gentleman into custody, who offered to give him a soeereign to let him go. The soldier made his escape. This was the only evidence for the prosecution . Mr. ADOLPUCS, for the defendant, addressed the Jure' at great length. The Learned Counsel said it was utterli impossible that his client could be guilty of the crime in k. Fated to him ; he was as honourable and moral a no n : any in existence, and he hoped the Jury would not gl'i l t ; verdict that must blast his character, and consign bi,f„ ' everlasting infamy and disgiace. The case rested su"'"; on the evidence of one witness; he (Mr. A.) did OW', to say that evidence was not to be believed , that Wee e, e y ' question for the Jury. He most, however, here ohth gels that if it was part of the new police to interfere w/_. walks, and watch all the actions of his Majesty's obi eer English liberty was only a name. We have, however, satisfaction to know, said Mr. A., that one priyi le f e ,:, our once famous Constitution remains, viz.

Anson, K.C.B. from the Grena dier Guards, will he appointed Colonel of the 66th Regi ment of Foot, vice General Oliver Nicholls, deceased. The following regimental appointments will shortly appear in the Gazette, viz:— Lieut.-General Lord R. E. H. Somerset, K.C.8., and M.P., from the 17th Lancers, to be Colonel of the let (royal) Dragoons, vice General Thomas Garth, deceased. Major-General Sir John Elley, K.C.B. from the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, to be Colonel of the 17th Re giment of Light Dragoons (Lancers,) vice Lord Edward Somerset, K.C.B. appointed to the Ist (royal) Dragoons. A General Court Martial is to assemble here in a few days, for the trial of a staff-serjeant, front the Leeds re cruiting district, and some soldiers of the Third Dragoon Guards. Major Streatfield, of the S7th, or Royal Irish Fusileers, is to be the President of the Court, and Mr. Jellicoe, the Paymaster of this district, Deputy Judge Ad vocate. Coventry Observer. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Des. 9.) The 67th Regiment, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Molyneux, were inspected at Chester, on Thursday, by Major-General Sir Henry Bouverie, who appeared much gratified with their manoeuvres. The Rifle Brigade landed at St. Jolan's, New Bruns wick, on the 29th October, and the 8l st Regiment com menced embarking on the 2d November, and sailed for Bermuda on the 6th November. The officers forming the court of inquiry, consisting of Major-General S. F. H. Bouverie, Lieut.-Colonel Thorn, Lieut.-Colonel Jordan, F. Palmer, Esq. and Mr. Andrews, of the War-office, have arrived at Chester, and are busily engaged in the inspection of the books and records of the 67th Regiment, now stationed there. This Court has been engaged for the last month in examining all the books and records of the regiments in the northern district. After leaving Chester, the above-named officers will pro ceed to Liverpool, and from thence to Manchester and Nottingham, where it is expected that they will terminate their labours. Colonel Trench, M.P. Store-keeper-General for the United Kingdom, visited Castlebar on Friday last, and minutely inspected the regimental books of the 15th depot. lie afterwards visited the new barracks which are in rapid progress towards completion, and expressed his approba tion of the style of workmanship and design of the several buildings, three of which will be completed by the end of next month. The non-commissioned officers and privates of the King's Dragoon Guards, stationed in Longford, have pre sented to the Rev. C. H. Minchin, their officiating chap lain, a valuable gold snuff-box, bearing a suitable inscrip tion on the lid, as a token of respect and gratitude for his kind attention to the sick and regimental school. The Rev. Gentleman, in a letter to Lieutenant-Colonel Tees dale, acknowledges the present, and requests him to ex press to the donors how highly he appreciates this memo rial of their affectionate regard. The chief command of the 66th Regiment is vacant by the death of General Oliver Nicolls. General Nicolls attained the rank of General in the Army, the 4th of June, 1813, and has bad the 66th Regi ment since the 3d of August, 1808. Yesterday the detachment of the 70th Regiment, com manded by Major Tredennick, marched from Cashel to Templemore. Notwithstanding the contradictory reports, we can state with equal certainty and regret, that a cata ract has formed in one of the eyes of his MAJESTY. The ether eye is at present not affected. His MAJzsTY, it is supposed, will undergo an operation. The Emperor of RUSSIA, according to the last accounts, was well enough to leave his room. The Bishop of BRISTOL has addressed a letter to his Clergy, expressing his disapproval of the pro.. jected college at Bristol, because it does not provide for the erection of a Chapel, in which divine worship shall be performed for the members of the Church of England, and the appointment of a president or preceptor in theology, to be a member of the established Church, and a graduate of one of the Universities, Her Grace the Duchess of NORTHUMBER LAND will sail for England in a few days, in consequence of the very alarming and, we fear, dangerous state of the health of her Grace's mother, Lady Powes. On her journey through Wales, it is probable that her Grace will make a shott stay with her sister, Lady CHARLOTTE WYNNI ; and it is expected that her Grace will return before Christmas.—Dublin Morning Register. TALES OF THE CLASSICS.—Under this title we observe the announcement of a publication which professes to facilitate the labours of classical students at school, by means of interesting versions of mythological lore, and familiarly treated examples of heroic fiction, If its execution be found equivalent to such a design, we have 20 doubt of the extensive adoption of this work for the purpose in view. It might likewise prove an agreeable appendage to the libraries of all who have feeling enough for the fine arts to desire a popular acquaintance with some of their most exquisite subjects. The neighbourhood of Cornhill, a little after eight o'clock yesterday morning, was thrown into great consternation in consequence of a fire having broken ont at a trunk-maker's shop, which in a short time consumed the premises, although five engines were playing against the house with wonderful skill. A Meeting of the inhabitants of St. Bride's parish was held yesterday at the Vestry Room, in Fleet street, to elect their officer(' for the ensuing year, when attention was called to the amount required to support the present system of watching. The sum required for that purpose was 41,000/. a year, or SOO/. per week. Of this amount the parish of St. Bride was obliged to furnish 2,0001. annually. Mr. BROWN, the Warden of the Fleet, said, that if the New Police was introduced, it would re quire much less expence; and he contended that the same portion of ground which required in the City 700 watch men, was better protected by 400 of the New Police. The watchmen were generally paid 235. per week, while the pay of a young 'able-bodied policeman was 21s.—A gentleman remarked that no reduction of expences would be made by introducing the New Police, as it was intended to increase their salaries 50 per cent. The regular busi- Imes of the Meeting was then gone through, and the Meet ing separated. Co/wit ACCIDENT.—Just as we were going to press, an accident happened to the Wonder coach. It had scarcely moved off on its route to London when it came in contact with a cart in Hi g h- street w i t h s uch vio lence that the splinter-bar was broken, and the coachman was flung from his scat. The horses, however, kept on at a rapid pace, and in turning the corner of Much-park street, struck against another cart, by which the coach was forced towards Mr. WORCESTER'S, and overturned. Seven passengers were outside and four inside; most of them were students from Dr. 13 uTuries, of Shrewsbury. All the passengers proceeded by anot h er coac h , exce pt one, who is severely injured. We understand that no blame is attributable to the driver.—. Coventry Paper. i;T'' TING INTELLIGENCE. Art'Oi TS 1 , 0.1. TISE ENSUING WEEK.

TO THE TRADESMEN OF PLYMOUTH, DEVONPORT, AND STONEHOUSE. Gentlemen,—ln giving the history of the One pound Notes, I shall confine my observations to those which were issued by the Bank of England, it being useless to say more respecting the one-pound notes of country bankers, than that they generally rose or fell in value, increased or decreased in quan tity, and operated on dealings between man and man, in a similar manner to those of the Bank of England. One-pound Bank notes appeared first in the year 1797. In the month of January of that year there was great alarm throughout the kingdom, from an unexpected invasion by the French army, and the people very naturally thought that funded property and bank-notes might not be so good as gold, should the French land in England. Acting on this opinion, those who possessed funded property com menced selling, and those who held bank-notes, presented them for payment in gold. In February following, a body of French troops (1200 in number) landed at Fisgard, in Wales, and were all taken pri soners; but this circumstance augmented the gene ral alarm, caused the run on the Bank to increase at a tremendous rate, and on Monday, the 27th of February, the Bank of England stopped payment. "What ! the Bank of England stop payment !—'tis false, 'tis impossible, the Bank never did nor never will stop payment." Something like this will be said or thought by almost every one who will read this letter, but as I proceed it will be discovered that I am right. On Friday, the 24th of February, the Directors of the Bank, greatly alarmed by the run, sent a de putation to Mr. Pitt, (at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Prime Minister), requesting him to interfere, and he promised them his protec tion. On Saturday, the 25th, the run continued with unabated vigour. On Sunday, the 26th, in spite of the fourth commandment ! an Order in Council was passed requiring the Bank to forbear issuing gold in payment of their notes until the sense of Parliament should be taken upon the sub ject. On Monday, the 27th, long before the hour of business, an immense crowd assembled round the doors of the Bank in order to get gold for the notes they held; on the doors being opened, in they rushed, but instead of gold they received a copy of the Order in Council. Here, then, was a Banking Company refusing to give gold for their promissory notes, payable on de mand to the bearer;—was this stopping payment, or was it not ?—surely you will all say "it was." But why did the Bank stop payment ? Simply because they had not sufficient gold to pay their notes, as was stated to Mr. Pitt by the deputation, which waited on him on the 24th. What made Mr. Pitt so very affectionate towards the Bank ?—why, be cause the Government owed the Bank eleven mil lions sterling, not one farthing of which has yet been paid. _ _ On the 3d of March following, an Act was passed, authorising the Bank to issue notes for sums less than five pounds, and forth came the one and two pound notes. On the 9th of May another Act was passed, sanctioning what had been done by the Privy Council and the Bank Directors, authorizing' Collectors of the Revenue to receive Bank -notes, and permitting the Bank to continue to refuse paving their notes in gold until the 24th June following. This last was called " The Bank Re striction Act," and although it only extended to the 24th June of the same year in which it was passed, yet, from repeated renewals, the Bank did not issue gold before the year ]BlB. " A very seasonable extension," says it, " to the circulating medium of the conntry, without any pos sible public injury, and we think without loss to the Revenue, might be given by reducing the charge for bill stamps on small sums. At present a bill for any sum between two pounds and live gui neas, requires a Is. stamp ; from five guineas to 201., a Is. 61 one; and from 201. to 301., a 2s. stamp. Now if the stamp from 21. to 10/. was 6d., and from 10/. to 201., 9d..with a Is. stamp from 201. to 30/., a great many more small bills would be drawn, and the scarcity of money occasioned by the withdrawal of the 11. notes greatly relieved.— Before the passing of the Bank Restriction Act in 1796, a bill stamp for the highest sum was only charged 25.; and for any sum between 21. and 30/., only 6d. Of late years, since the stamps have been raised and altered, and the law respecting cheques altered, the number of bills drawn by the bankers has been very much diminished—as much as 1200 per cent. upon the present number, so that while in the year 1802 there were drawn by the three Leeds banks no fewer than 71,000 bills, the number drawn by them in the year 1828 amounted only to about 6,000, though the trade of the town in the mean time has greatly increased. It is proper to add, however, that there are many more bills drawn by private individuals now than for merly, but it would tend very greatly to the security of trade if there were more banker's bills, and fewer private ones; and a judicious reduction in the stamp duty, with an alteration in the law.regarding checks, would tend to effect this desirable purpose. Before the stoppage of the Bank of England there were only two hundred and thirty country banks, but in April, 1810, the number had increased to seven hundred and twenty-one ; the greater part of these issuing one-pound 'lutes, the country was soon filled with those things, which drove all the gold out of circulation. One-pound notes and gold coin will never circulate together long, the cause of which I will clearly show when I come to describe that deplorable event, the " late panic." You are well aware that things as they become plentiful have a natural tendency to fall in value. For a short time after the passing of the Bank Re striction Act the one-pound notes were worth twenty shillings in gold, that is to say, a one-pound note and a shilling would purchase as much wheat, bread, beef, beer, or other commodities. as a guinea ; but the notes as they became more and more plentiful, decreased in value as before stated. In the year 1800 with gold coin you could t s. d. purchase a note for s 18 4 1801 ... ditto ... 18 7 1802 ... ditto ... 18 8 1803 ... ditto ... IS 8 1804 ... ditto ... 19 0 1805 ... ditto ... 19 6 1806 ... ditto ... 19 6 1807 ... ditto ... 19 6 1 SOB ... ditto ... 19 6 1809 ... ditto ... 17 6 1810 ... ditto ... 17 1 1811 ... ditto ... 16 5 1812 ... ditto ... 15 3 1813 ... ditto ... 14 5 1814 ... ditto ... 16 2 1815 ... ditto ... 16 11 1816 ... ditto ... 16 2 1817 ... ditto ... 19 '7 1818 ... ditto ... 19 2 1819 ... ditto .. 19 6 Thus the pound in paper money was not worth a pound in gold during a period of twenty years. But you have been led to believe the one-pound note was always the same; and that it was the guinea which rose and fell in value. I think I shall bo able to convince you to the contrary. " The value of a thing is just as much as it will bring." Let us see how many pounds of beef a guinea would buy in 1813, and how many in 1829. The value of a guinea in gold, in 1813, was _ said to be 28 shillings. Multiply by the pence in a shilling 12 Divide:by the average price of beef in Plymouth Marka, in 1813, Bd. which I am informed was And the quantity of beef you could buy was 42 lbs. The guinea of 1829 is said to be worth only 21 shillings• Multiply by the pence in a shilling 12 Divideby the present price of beef—say 6d. 1 252 And the quantity of beef you could buy is 42 lbs. No alteration has therefore taken place in the value of the guinea; but a great increase of value has attached to the pound in paper, as the following statement will prove— The pound in paper money was said to be worth in 1813 2O shillings. Multiply by the pence in a shilling l2 Divide by the price of beef at that time, Bd. I 240 And you have the quantity of beef you could buy, viz. The pound in paper, of 1829, is actually worth in gold 2O shillings, Multiply by the pence in a shilling l2 DiriJe by the present price of beef —say 6d.' 240 And you have for your note _ 40 lbs. which is one-fourth more than you could purchase with your pound note in 1813. This clearly shows that paper, compared with gold, was not worth more than about 15s. in the pound in that year; and, on referring to the table, you will see it marked 14s. sd. The same method of calculation will bold good in regard to any other year mentioned in the table, by first finding the reputed value of the guineas.

MELTON MOWBRAY.—We are glad to hear that the admirers of painting and music are to be gratified this winter, as well as the lovers of field sports ; it is in contemplation to fit up the large National School at this place as a picture gallery, (the paintings to be loans from gentlemen and artists,) and the exhibition to be followed by a concert. —From the distinguished patronage this plan has met with, the liberal promises of works of the very first ancient and modern artists, and the room being well adapted to show them to advantage, it is anticipated that admirers of the art will have an opportunity of great enjoy ment.—The profits are to be applied to benevolent pur poses.—Drahard's Stamford News. HIGHLAND SIMPLICITY.—Last week a young girl, fresh from the West Highlands, came on a visit to a sister she had residing in Glasgow. At the out skirts of the town she stopped at a toll-bar, and began to rap smartly with her knuckles at the gate.

The Magistrate threatened to send him to the endless flight of steps in Walsingham Bridewell, and this brought him to a promise to cease his biting propensities.

We observe with pleasure the instances in which landlords are throwing back to their tenants a certain per tentage upon their rents : we wish the instances were more numerous. Neither is it a temporary accommodation of this kind that will satisfy. Rents must come down —they must come down to the state at which they were before the great war beg-m, during which war they were forced up in CI.; most un natural manner ; and it is evident that the de crease of rents, so far from preventing or ren dering more difficult the payment of the interest of the national debt, will greatly facilitate the performance of the sacred obligation. Taxes also must be diminished, but how ? By eco nomy ; and by cutting oft needless expendi ture. If so large an army be necessary, which we shall not at present dispute, from the diffi culty of knowing how to employ the men who might be discharged, there is no necessity that its pay should remain undiminished. That ought to bear a just proportion to the wages of the labourer and mechanic in agricultural and manufacturing employments. Rates, both paro chial and county, but more especially the former, have declined very materially in amount ; and parish rates being the severest of all taxes, their alleviation must be most beneficially felt. All these are reasons in our mind for not tampering with the circulating medium, or attempting any other plan of finance than that of simply prac tising economy, and introducing retrenchments wherever they are practicable. Neither do we believe that any new project is in contemplation, though certainly we know not the intentions of Government. But both Ministers and the public will recollect with what confidence it was asserted, some six weeks ago, that Such was the distress of the country,—the overwhelm ing, confounding, annihilating, distress of tin country,—that Parliament must be called toge ther immediately, before Christmas, for the pur pose of discovering some ready expedient to save the sinking realm. We spoiled this conceit of the sudden assembling of Parliament. Th;it body is not yet met, nor will it meet before the usual time ; and we are sure that our distresses have not been aggravated during the interval. Our commerce and manufactures are silently and successfully creeping on. We are the more earnest in urging a total abstinence from all measures of an untried character,—from all finan cial coups detat,—not only because the present evils are tolerable, or admit of gentle methods of alleviation, but because we have never heard any experimental project recommended that would not have an immediate operation in producing tenfold evil. Were the national creditor,—the tithe consumer,—and the rent consumer,—all at once to be plundered by some revolutionary act of violence, the misery of the people at large would but be aggravated by the robbery.—Tinzes. We this day resume the interesting topic of the evils existing in the present state of the ju dicature of our West Indian colonies. Tlie result of the inquiry of the Commissioners into the administration of justice in the West In dies, as collected from their diffent reports, may be stated, with sufficient exactness for our pre sent purpose, to be as follows :—First, as re lates to the laws. " There is throughout the islands," says the reporter, " a total want of any fixed, principles of jurisprudence."* Again, " the principle upon which certain laws of the mother country are operative and held binding in her colonies, far from being clear and precise, is involved in considerable obscurity, and often found very difficult of application."t "We acknowledge," say the Judges, " the common law of England ;" but the reception is qualified by, " so far as it is applicable to the circum stances of the colony." The case is the same with the statute law of England. "We are bound," was the answer, "by Acts of Parliament passed before the settlement of the colony, and applicable to its condition." Now the settle ment of the different islands was at considerable intervals, and the rule makes, as is shown by the Commissioner by a table in his report, a diffe rence of two centuries in their statute law be tween two neighbouring islands.t Then as to local laws. Barbadoes, Tobago, St. Vincent, Montserrat, St. Christopher, and the Virgin Islands, stand most pressingly in need of a pub lication of their respective Acts of Assembly. In Barbadoes there were 247 laws in manuscript in 1822, and there are now probably as many more ; and the Judges, who were ex-officio bound to know them, however inaccessible, were not lawyers. All the Colonies require to have their laws carefully revised—first, with a view to their retrenchment, and then to their consolida tion and amendment. A curious account is given of the manner pursued in the settlement of Honduras, in introducing any new regulation which is to undergo the solemnity of an enact ment. The proposition is discussed in a meet ing of the Magistrates and inhabitants assembled after notice. If the measure agreed to at such meeting receive the assent of the superintendaut, it is considered as binding, and having the effect of lavo.§ Secondly, the administration of the laws was found by the Commissioners to be very defective, and is stated!' to require great amelio ration and an extensive " change of system." The constitution of the Court of Chancery is shown to be very objectionable. Either the administration of equity is intrusted to the Com mander-in-Chief (usually a naval or military officer), or the Court is composed of all the members of Council as well as the Governor, the . Governor being only prima inter pares, and the votes being taken in regular order, begin , ning with the junior councillor. In the latter case, the administration ofjustice is less dignified and more uncertain ; " and," says the Commis sioner, is in general distrusted and hated, in a degree commensurate with its power of doing mischief in the Colony.s This want of confidence in their decisions is attributed to the frequent connection of the ' Equity Judges with the litigant parties, an in ' evitable evil in such small communities, and their want of legal education. In Tobago the Master in Chancery receives upon sales in his office the shameful fee of 6 per cent. Receivers in too many islands, do not account regularly for proceeds ; and giving no other than their personal security (without sureties) against mal administration, when they die insolvent, having wasted the effects, a very common case, there is no remedy over. In the common law Courts the Chief Justice very often, and the Assistant Judges, always consist of persons. who are not lawyersland the consequences, as might be ex pected, are frequent misconceptions of the law, constant liability to error: total want of confi dence in their decisions, and universal discon , tent. In the Criminal Courts the law is ad ' ministered, in most of the colonies, with littl e solemity, by a bench of magistrates, who ar e no t •3d Dwarris's Report, p. 97. § Honduras Report, p, 4.

L to` AV . b etel livery in a year : yet the gaol was in such a state that if a prisoner were conned iii it, he must be put in irons for security. The Courts of Error appointed to review the decisions of a lawyer Judge (in those islands in which the Chief Justice is a barrister) are composed of a mi litary or naval Governor and three or five planters, and the latter, as is shows in the reports, when delay will serve a friend, can never make a court. That this is a faithful picture of the judicial sys tem of nearly all our Vest India colonies, (to say nothing of the enormous fees charged on legal proceedings in the public offices, as at Demerara, for instance), reference to the Parliamentary Reports will sufficiently establish. Jamaica, however, we must say, deserves to be exempted from this reproach, The Report of the Commis sioners on that island shows few instances of those abuses in the judicial system which so abundantly prevail in her sister colonies, and the measures of reform suggested are therefore few. The principal we believe to be, the appointment of a professional Chancellor from England, and of two barristers to act as Puisne Judges in the Supreme Court, in the room of the present As sistant Judges. We do hope that the evils enumerated will be corrected,—that the nuisance, as the Court of Chancery in the island of Mont serrat was voted, will be abated,—that the remedy will be applied, and will be delayed no longer. Though, from the nature of some of the dif ficulties with which they have to contend, (as where the Courts are established by confirmed acts of Assembly, &c.,) the Commissioners cannot always adopt the compendious wisdom of that Attorney-General, (we believe of Domi nica), who, when asked how to improve a parti cular Court ? replied, " Abolish it altogether !' yet we think that much good might result from carrying into effect many of the recommenda tions of the Commissioners. Such are the sug gestions for the appointment of professional Judges from England, the ascertaining by a de claratory law what acts and what parts of acts of Parliament shall be in force in the colonies, and extending to the plantations the benefit of such part of the English statute law as shall be considered advisable, to the latest possible period. The preparation of these, and of other necessary acts, of new tables of fees, of an improved code of practice, &c. should be set about immediately. A considerable portion of the reports is devoted to slaves and slave courts, and very properly, as forming three-fourths of the population subject to the laws, or to be affected by their administra tion. Slaves who, under any circumstances of slavery, should be subject to the same mode of trial as free persons, are tried differently in dif ferent colonies. Slaves labour under cruel dis advantages. A slave is under a personal disa bility, and cannot sue in any court of law or equity, not even in respect of injuries done to him by other slaves. A slave cannot prosecute in the criminal courts. He cannot enter into a recognizance, and can therefore only be bailed by free persons, when they can be found so far dis posed to assist him, which the master commonly is, and no one else. Slave evidence was not at that time admitted against freemen, white or black, even against wrongdoers. In those courts and cases where slave evidence was admitted, it very often was not upon oath ; and, as opposed to the unsuspected testimony of sworn witnesses, was consequently, to a certain extent, disregard ed. The Commissioners finally report their firm conviction, that the foundation of every im provement, both as regards the whits and black population of these colonies, must be laid in an impriived administration of justice, and in the admission of slave evidence.=afrie's Third Report.—lbid. Mr. Sheil's letter to the Editor of the Dub lin Evening Post, in refutation of the silly charge made against him, for accepting a re tainer from -Lord George Beresford, will be read with very general attention; The offence of which Mr. Sheil is accused amounts to this, that - he • has not been sufficiently actuated by hatred and vengeance against Lord George Beresford, and has not continued to carry on the war of party spirit against his Lordship and his family, after the object °Nile war had been gained.-- after the triumph had been won—after hostility had ceased- to bp wise to any public end, and to have any recommendation but-that of pure ma lice.

We do not attach much importance to the cir cumstance of the Serjeant's house being near the Police- office, and still less to its contiguity to the Earl of Aberdeen's, the Foreign Secre tary. Burglars, we apprehend, attach but very little respect to name, rank, or office ; and the contiguity to the Police-office during the night is, of course, of no more value or security than the fact of a man living next door to Westmin ster Hall or the Chief Justice. But the mode in which this robbery has been effected is of conse quence, and must, we should imagine, g' ,- e rise to much astonishment and remark. Here, in the course of the night, in a street which is neither a very public nor a very private one, has an en trance been made by breaking through the front wall in the area, so as to make a space large enough to admit the bodies of several persons 7 --a work which must, of necessity, haves occu pied much time and labour. Through the open ing thus m a d e the :thieves enter, ransack the p:2 inside or out being a whit the wiser. Even sup posing it to have been what is termed a " put up" robbery—of which we do not learn that there is any suspicion—we do not readily per. ceive how the front wall of a house is to be partly pulled down, and the police know nothing- of the matter. We thought that each man was to pass every point on his beat once in every ten minutes ; we thought they were not to cry the hour, that thieves might not know where they were. Yet, with all these precautions—and when the system has been just long enough at work, one would think, to be matured, without having fallen into lassitude, is a burglary committed quite as disgraceful as any, the blame of which was ever fixed upon the most sleepy of the old race of watchmen. We shall be curious to see how this affair is ac counted for. We believe, ourselves, that the new police are, in point of numbers, quite ina dequate for their night department, and that their labours are greater than the animal strength of most of them can bear. Of the system, in point of principle, our opinion is pretty well known. That opinion, though it remains un changed, we have not lately reiterated, willing to see how it would work ; but if thieves can, under its surveillance, break through the front walls of our houses, and carry off the spoil un molested, more persons than ourselves will be apt to imagine that we have only exchanged one imperfect safeguard for another more expensive, and quite as inefficient.—Morning Herald. The conduct of the High Sheriff of the county of Lincoln, in refusing to convene a Public Meeting of the Freeholders, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the Malt and Beer Duties, upon the requisition of a compe tent number of the Gentlemen and Yeomanry of the county, has exposed him to severe ani madversion and rebuke from many of our con temporaries.. While on the one hand we can not agree with those who appear to think it the bounden duty of the Sheriff of a county, upon every occasion when required so to do by a cer tain number of the respectable inhabitants, to convene a public meeting for the discussion of any political subject, we readily admit on the other that very peculiar circumstances only can fully justify his refusal. If he sincerely believe, for instance, the proposed meeting likely to en danger the peace of the county, he would no doubt be warranted in witholding his sanction to such a proceeding ; but we are at a loss to con ceive any other consideration which ought to induce a High Sheriff to adopt a line of con duct which must either operate to obstruct the exercise of the right of petition, or be, as in the present instance it is likely to prove, wholly in effectual. That no public benefit can be ex pected to arise from the discussion in popular assemblies of the merits of particular taxes, or of the existing system of taxation, may or may not be true, and however true, it can afford no justification to the Sheriff who refuses to con vene a Meeting of the. county over which he presides, since the question is one upon which he derives from his office no peculiar right or qualification to pronounce a judgment. His functions with respect to county meetings are merely ministerial ; and respect to the right of petition, not to speak of the courtesy which is always due to a respectable body of requi sitionists, seems to demand that they should be freely and impartially discharged, unless when a reasonable anxiety fur the ; public. pea3e,,Jhe conservation of which is the paramount duty of the. Sheriff, restrains and Controuls him.— Although we cannot commend' the-conduit' of the High Sheriff of Lincoln' we entirely concur in the opiniah . he ,has 'ex-. pressed, that it is inexpedient at Vie preAent ment to urge upon the Goverrimen . t or Legis-:: lature the repeal or mo , taxes. We think the c, fide in the disposition of ters to reduce the pub! lowest point that is conf the dignity, and the obli, that if any abatement found compatible with a dispensible objects, the in that particular mode likely to promote the gel consideration of all the ation, and of the mann they respectively intere, the community. Assuml m itring a given amount lieve is more certain than that popular assem blies convened in different districts of the king- , dom would arrive at very difFerent conclusions as to what particular tax might most advantage ously be repealed or reduced. 13ut it is not equally certain that the particular description, of relief, which might appear the most popular" when the national suffrages had thus been imp perfectly collected, would be precisely that which' a wise and prudent Legislature ought to adopt. The repeal or reduction of any tax whatever is no doubt a public benefit ; but in a complicated system of taxation, like that from which the British revenue is derived, to determine which particular impost may be remitted more bene ficially than any other, requires all the experi ence and sagacity of accomplished Statesmen, and a degree of minute, various, and compre hensive information, which is accessible to few indeed of those who can be expected to take part in the deliberations of ppular eseemblies.—_ Morning Post. In directing the attention of our readers to an article in another part of our paper, entitled " The History of the One Pound Notes," we own that we return to the subject of the cur rency with the same sort of feeling that we should continue a story which we had previously told, and only recollected that we had told when we had got half-way through it—we mean a fear of wearying our readers with an account of facts which must now be well known to them. The subject, however, is of far too great im portance not to justify us in returning to it again, and in endeavouring to make the public as thoroughly conversant with it, as a knowledge of it is indispensably necessary to a right under standing of our real situation. The Leeds Mer cury of Saturday last, though we believe it advo cated at the time, along with many other journals, the necessity of having recourse to a gold standard, does all but admit that the late interference with the currency has been productive of great embarrassent and inconvenience to mercantile men, and pro poses a reduction in the price of certain hill stamps, as a means of alleviating it.— This is all very good and very proper, and we doubt not that the increased transactions of the community world amply reimburse the Govern ment for the reduction of the duty, as well as prove a seasonable relief to the former ; but that relief would not be sufficient. The return to a metallic currency has increased the pressure of taxation at least one 1V Ul4ll .1111 V{. iViJ, 111111, 14 means of meeting it in a still greater ratio. In that year, as is shown by the table in the letter to which we refer, the pound note was only worth 14s. 5d., and could only procure to its holder 301bs. of beef—now it is actually what it pur ports to be, and will purchase 401bs! After reducing all the great departments of the public service to a peace establishment, the taxes for the ordinary service of the state ought therefore in justice to the ptiblic to have been reduced at least one-fourth ; and if twenty millions were then only necessary for the necessary expenditure of the state, the amount ought in April last, when the Small Note Suspension Bill came into operation, to have been reduced to fifteen mil lions,—for the plain reason that fifteen millions now of the present circulating medium, will pay for as much food and labour as twenty millions of the currency of 1813. This is a view of the question which we are most anxious to press upon the attention of our readers, and which, we trust, will be pressed upon that of his Majesty's Ministers, when Parliament meets. The Go vernment, without apparently making an ad dition to taxes on any article, has, in reality, by means of the recal of the small notes, added one-fourth to the amount of all taxes whatso ever : and yet the public wonders why money is scarce, and the taxes more difficult to be paid now than at any former period !—Morn.

Mr. Moore, of the firm of Wilson, Moore, and Robinson, silkmen, in Milk -street, attended before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY yesterday, to answer the complaint of one of their workmen named Fage. Fage had undertaken to weave 30 yards of velvet at 4s. per yard, in 37 days, commencing with the 3d of October last, and in default to forfeit Gd. a yard of his wages. He had not delivered the work at the time stipulated, but still he thought he was not liable to pay the forfeit, inasmuch as the default arose from illness, and not misconduct. He pro duced the certificate of a medical gentleman whom he had applied to, to show that he was incapable of pursuing his labour ; and said, that after some days' trial, the doctor said he could do no more for him, and he next had recourse to the skill of the doctor's wife, who cured every thing by the use of herbs. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY observed, that the master might perhaps have lost his market for the article through the delay in finishing it. Mr. Moore said that was the case. He knew what quantity of work could be done in a given time, and he knew when he should want particular goods. He had a right to contract in the way de scribed, because it was consented to as voluntarily on the part of the workman as of himself. This man was habitually idle, and he took the course of contracting with him as a remedy, giving him more than sufficient time for the work. If he had com pleted it at the given day, the work would have been worth Is. a yard more than now. It was a question of profit and loss with him, and he had in fact given Fage a premium to get the work finished in time for the demand for winter goods. If he had been unable to do it through illness, he must abide by his contract, and consider the loss as a part of his misfortune. His foreman had offered the com plainant 3s. 9d. a yard. Page said that he was willing to take the 3s. 9d.; but because he happened blindly to say it was hard to lose the other 3d., the foreman refused to pay him 3s. 9d. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY considered the man bound by his contract, and should dismiss the com plaint; but he hoped Mr. Moore would still give him the 3s. 9d., as it had been offered to him.— Complainant must, however, throw himself on the consideration and kindness of_ his emplpi,kr,.....-The men were too Ulitticrate and get a summons, and aggravate their masters.—Com- Viiiiir -dismissed. BOW.STREET. . The two pauper children whom the parish officers of - St. Martin were desirous of apprenticing to a chimney-sweeper, were again brought forward yes terday for thut purpose before Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS. Mr. MINsnuLL, before whom they ap. peered in the first instance, had expressed a strong opinion upon the practice of thus disposing of poor parish children, and Mr. Rawlings, clerk and soli citor to the churchwardens and overseers, took the opportunity of that Magistrate's absence to bring the matter before his colleagues. Sir R. BIRNIE inquired if the parish had given notice to the mother of their intention to bind her son to a chimney-sweeper? Mr. Rawlings replied that the mother had been made aware of the circumstance. The poor woman stated in reply, that as soon as she ascertained the intention of the parish, she went to the overseers upon the subject, but they would do nothing for her. She then presented herself before " the board," but there her objection was as little attended to, and in a day or two after her poor child was taken away from the workhouse, and fur nearly six weeks, although she applied almost every day to know what was become of him, she could get no satisfaction until by chance she heard that he was on trial with a chimney-sweeper. " For God's sake, your worship," added the poor woman, " save my child from being made a sweep, he is unfit for such a business. Only look at the miserably state he is in; . his head is swollen as big as a bushel measure, and he is altogether unlike the child he was only six weeks ago." Both Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS immediately declared that the boy should not be apprenticed against the wish of his mother, and the latter having returned her grateful thanks to the Magistrates for their humane determi nation, took her child by the hand and left the office. The other boy was then brought forward. He was an illegitimate child and an orphan. Mr. HALLS asked if, while he was on trial, the overseer had visited his master's house, for the pur pose of personally ascertaining that the boy was likely to be well done by?—Mr.Rawlings not being p4pared _to answer this question,-Mr. Halls'observed that-it was the overseer's bounden duty to have done so, and until the fact were ascertained, he should with hold his assent to the apprenticing of the boy. Mr. Snow, the surgeon, and his brother-in-law, Mr. Churchill, the barrister, waited upon Mr. Halls in:the course of the day, and inquired if Mr. Ashurst, the solicitor, had sent him the examina tion (which his clerk had promised to furnish) of the witnesses whose testimony had been taken at Finchley, with respect to the death of Mrs. Phillips. Mr. HALLS replied that a packet had been re ceived about half an hour before from Ashurst, which he supposed contained the documents in ques tion. Mr. Churchill wished to know whether the ori ginal examinations had been forwarded, or copies only ? Mr. HALLS, upon referring to the papers, said that they appeared to him to be partly originals and partly copies. The gentlemen thanked him, and withdrew. Persons, we hear, are now permitted to pass over the New London-bridge, for the purpose of ♦iewing the works, on payment of one shilling each. ROLLS COURT.—BAILY v. TAYLOR.---in this case, which was not concluded yesterday when wa went to press, and which was a bill filed by Mr. F. BAILY, author of several works on leases, annuities, &c. against the defendant, a bookseller in Holborn, praying an account of the receipts and profits of certain " tables" relative to the purchase of estates and annuities, published by the defen dant, and containing matter alleged to be pirated from the defendant's works ; which bill moreover prayed that the defendant might be restrained from publishing any except the first edition of such " tables," the publication of which had been authorised by the plaintiff; his Ho:4mm re fused to grant an injunction, and stated that the bill must be disnsisseil with costs. The will of the late General Thomas Garth was proved yesterday in the Prerogative Court of Can. terbury. It is dated the 12th of September, 1829, and describes the testator as of Grosvenor-place, in the county of Middlesex, and of Piddletown, in the county of Dorset. It bequeaths the fee-farm rents and profits of his estate at Northampton, now collected by Christopher Smyth, Esq., and devised to the testator by his sister, Elizabeth Garth, to his nephew, Thomas Garth, a Captain in the Royal Navy, his heirs and executors for ever. It be queaths an annuity of 3001. to the testator's niece, Frances Garth, spinster. It then proceeds, in a somewhat wordy manner, to direct that a moiety of an annuity or annual pension of 3,0001. secured to the testator by letters pa tent granted by his Majesty King Charles 11., and payable out of the revenues of the Duchy of Corn wall, and treasures in the Exchequer, which the testator, by a deed of settlement, dated the 17th of November, 1820, had settled on himself, and " in certain circumstances," on his son, Thomas Garth, with a power of appointment reserved to him (the testator), should be paid by the trustees to his said " beloved" son (the testator renouncing the power of appointment under the deed), during life, and after his decease, to the natural and law ful issue of his said son; and if he should leave no issue, then to the aforesaid nephew of the testator, Captain Thomas Garth, R. N., his heirs and executors. The instrument then bequeaths the house belonging to the testator, No. 32, Gros venor. place, which he purchased of Sir Henry Hardinge, to his said beloved son, Thomas Garth, and also the plate, household furniture, and per sonal effects in the said house, and in and about the estate at Piddletown. It then directs the payment of sundry legacies (one of 1004, for a ring, to Lady Drummond, the daughter of the testator's friend, Mr. Boone) to friends and servants ; and it con cludes with bequeathing the residue of the testa tor's property, real and personal, to his nephew, Captain Thomas Garth, R.N., who is appointed executor with John Fullerton, Esq., to whom a le gacy of 100/. is left. There is an interlineation in that part of the will which directs the disposal of the moiety of the annuity of 3,0004, but its object seems to have been to render the case more clear; it was made prior to execution. . DON MIGUEL.—(From the Plynzouth Journal.)--We know not altogether what degree of credit is due to the following intelligence said to have been con tained in a letter received by the Staxmer packet, which arrived on Monday last from Lisbon, by a Portuguest emigrant resident at Falmouth : it is proper to observe that letters to the 24th ult., received from Lisbon by the Por taguese gentlemen resident i❑ this town, are totally silent as to the intelligence said to have been received at Fal mouth. The following are the particulars :—Don MI GUEL left Lisbon for Villa Vicosa, (Villa Vicesa, in the province of Alentejo, is very near the frontiers of Spain, and from this place two roads lead into Spain, one by Elvas the other by Olivenca), on a hunting expedition, accompanied by a battalion of riflemen, a park of artillery of six guns, strong detachments of regular infantry, and police cavalry, his households, and a train of 200 horses and mules. It is rumoured that he proceeded through the province of Alentejo to the frontiers of Spain ; and that two vessels laden with treasury were to proceed forth with to some port in Spain. Rumour adds that AliouEL carried with him the sum of 29,000 milreas, being the entire contents of the Royal Treasury at the period of his departure. The same letter states that the QUEEN Dow- AGER was to leave LISBON on the 3d instant (Thursday) for Spain, in order to be present at the marriage of her brother FERDINAND. Letters from Oporto by the same packet acquaint us that the garrison of Valencia had de serted, taking with them some state prisoners who were in that fortress ; and that on the usual evening muster of the 4th Regiment of infantry, stationed at Oporto, 75 men were found to be missing. We shall look with con siderable anxiety for a confirmation of the above intelli gence, which we cannot but regard as very apocryphal in its present shape; it would be a worthy termination of the perjured Usurper. NEW DISCOVERIES IN MEDICINE,—Of the superior efficacy of the Bladder Podded Lobelia Herb, Dr. ANnaaws, an eminent physician of Glas gow, in a letter published in the Glasgow Medical Journal, states that he has found no medicine so effectual in allaying asthma and clearing the air vessels of viscid phlegm, as the Lobelia Lijlata. Mr. Gonnos, of Hull, has published several cases of Spasmodic Asthma, in which the Etherial Tincture of it acted like a charm, the first dose affording great facility of breathing in a fow minutes, Dr. REECE, in Isis late Treatise on the peculiar Anti-Asth matic properties of this herb, clearly slims by reasoning and experience that from its quieting effect on the par vaguin, the part of the nervous system (evidently the seat of Asthma) that it is the most efficacious remedy that has been discovered for Asthma and winter cough. For the first discovery of the mild but efficacious tonic properties of the Round Leaf Cornel we are also indebted to the Translantic Physicians. This stomachic and con stitutional tonic medicine, Dr. ROBINSON' in his valu able " Practical Treatise on the Proper Diet, &c. of Elderly and Weakly Subjects," and also Professor IvEs and others, from its uniform grateful and strengthening effects on the stomach, &c., termed the natural tonic of the human race. The last edition of Dr. ROBINSON'S " Treatise on the Round Leaf Cornel " contains several cases of local and general debility, in which the remedy fully succeeded after the Peruvian Bark, the Sulphate Quinine, and otht r tonic medicines, had failed.— Ga zette of Practical Medicine for Nov. 1829. A TRUE TIIOUGYI ROMANTIC TALE.—A young Lothario a few years since fled to the 'West Indies, and from thence to New York, in the United States of North America, at which latter city, landing a pennyless refugee, he was compelled to seek employment in hoeing turnips, whereby to pay his passage, and redeem his lug gage ; he then wandered into the state of Virginia, where, though a hapless alien, the family of the high sheriff kindly received him, and soon admitted him to matrimony with an interesting daughter. On receiving a marriage portion the happy pair sailed for England, and were received with all due honour by the bridegroom's family in Huntingdon shire, with whom they continued to live until misfortune drove them to lodgings in London, where hereditary insa nity separated them : be being forcibly taken against her will to an asylum, and she left with a pittance of 10s. per week from his family, to which she, in deep distress and destitution, recently came one evening, but was refused admittance, the domestic mansion being closed against her. Yet would she not quit it, until a very late hour, (when she was forced away by the constable,) being determined rather to. perish on the cold stones of the door, not colder than the living stones within ! A public-house humanely received her for the remainder of the night, and the next day she was lodged with the family of a poor cotter. Thus circumstanced, she applied to Ex-Sheriff TusoatrsoN, who generously pitied and relieved her with whatever his hos pitable mansion could afford, and at length caused her hard case to be brought before the bench of magistrates at St. Ives, where the Rev. R. TILLARD, and the Ex-sheriff FRYER have nobly considered her miserable necessities, and afforded Ler all needful protection, as well as a free passage to her respectable family and friends in America : all of whirls boons, however, she refused with a high minded, Virginian disdain, being firmly resolved on never forsaking the destinies of, nor returning without her much loved, though unfortunate husband I—The parish officers of Somersham, who attended with this unhappy ' stranger in a strange land, were then ordered to receive her under their protection. She has since suddenly dis appeared, and it is supposed has gone to visit her partner in Bedford asylum.—Stamford News. Great quantities of pollock were seen last week off the northern parts of Scilly. Above 1000 of those fish are said to have been caught by the boats of Brye and Tresco. The weather has been remarkably fine for some time, but is now changed to stormy.—Plymouth Journal. THURTELL'S COMRADE.-JOSEPH HUNT, the notorious comrade of THURTELL, who was trans ported for life fur the prominent part he took in the min , • der of W 5 RE, and who was stated to have died on his passage to New South Wales, is still living, and in excel lent health. Various other stories have been circulated about his death, which are all fabulous. He is, from the last accounts from that colony, employed in the Bathurst district, about 100 miles f rom Syd ne y, by the Govern ment,as a posting-messen ger , th e d u ty of which office is toc c onvey letters and despatches from one station to another. His average journey is about thirty miles per d a y, which is considered very heavy work, over a moun tainous country, Where his fatigues are of course no ordi nary task. CONSISTORY COURT, DEC. 11. MUSKETT AGAINST MUSKETT. This is a suit for divorce, promoted by Mr. Joseph Salisbury Musket t, of Ingwood-hall, Norfolk, against Mary his wife, on the ground of adultery committed by her with Mr. Richard Hanbury Gurney. The parties married in 1812. In 1817, after the birth of a daughter, a separation took place, in conse quence of the discovery of certain clandestine meet ings of Mrs. Muskett with Mr. Gurney; and in 1818 an action of orbit. con. was brought by Mr. Muskett against Mr. Gurney, which was tried at Thetford in that year, when a verdict went for the defendant. Subsequent to that period,—namely, in the present year, Mrs. Muskett eloped with Mr. Gurney, and has cohabited with him in Montague square. The libel now offered for admission was founded upon this last transaction between the parties; but in a variety of articles, the antecedent transactions, which had been the subject of the action at law, were introduced, and these articles were now objected to by Dr. Addams and Dr. Chap man, on behalf of the wife, and defended by Dr. Dodson and Dr. Blake on the part of the husband, on the ground that they led up to the act of adultery now charged and exculpated the husband from any charge of laciws or neglect. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that the questions for the consideration of the Court were, first, whether these particular articles, pleaded in their present detail, were necessary to establish the guilt of the wife; and, secondly, supposing them inadmissible on. that ground, whether they were requisite in order to clear the husband's character from imputation. Now it was admitted, on the part of the husband, that he was in possesion of no additional evidence of any act of adultery prior to that which forms the ground work of the present suit ; and therefore, the articles were inadmissible on that ground. As to Mr. Muskett, the Court would not impute any guilt to the husband because he separated from his wife, unless he could be proved to have been negligent, or in collusion. Considering, then, that- the articles objected to were unnecessary for either object, he should direct them to be reformed by compressing them into a narrow compass. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-CHELMSFORD, DEC. 11. CHARGE OF RAPE. Michael Sullivan, a labourer, aged 22, stood capi tally indicted for a rape upon Eliza Butterfield, at West Ham, in this county. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix herself, as well as the statements of other witnesses, that she had been drinking to intoxication, and that at the public-house where she and the prisoner and another woman were carousing together, a dispute arose which of the women had the best leg. The women showed their legs, and the prisoner decided in favour of the prosecutrix, and afterwards left the house with her. It was doubtful whether the wo man had consented, but there appeared to have been no force beyond disgracefully taking advantage of the drunken condition of the girl. The Jury therefore, at the Judge's suggestion, acquitted the prisoner. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, DEc.ll. Thomas Keene was indicted for assaulting Sarah Scharratt, with intent to violate her person. The prosecutrix stated that she lived servant in the family of Mr. Smith, a corn-factor, in Basing hall-street. The prisoner was employed in the ware. house, when the defendant caught her round the waist and carried her up stairs into the loft. He then threw her on a sack and took liberties with her. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—She gave him some bread and cheese in the kitchen after wards, and drank a glass of gin with him. The presecutrix's sister proved that she com plained to her of the defendant's treatment. Mr. C. PHILLIPS made an able address to the Jury for the defendant. The: Jury found; the defendant guilty of a com mon assault only. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the New London Price Current of yesterday) SUGAR.—The Sugar Market during the week has been rather languid ; the purchases are more limited than usual, but no general reduction in the price can be stated ; the estimated sales are 2,200 hhds. and trs. At the close of the day the prices of all the middling descriptions of Sugar must again be stated fully Is. lower during the week ; the low brown and fine rate now higher in pro portion than the middling qualities. Trinidad and other Sugars a little coloury, sold at 465., and fair yellow at 481. In the Refined Market there is little alteration this week; the inferior lumps are again a shade lower; the grocers only purchase small parcels fur their immediate wants. The export to the north of Europe is nearly sus pended, as the accounts from Hamburg and Holland state the frost had set in severely. We quote inferior lumps 6d. a Is. lower than last week; the other descriptions arc un varied. Molasses in demand, and 6d. higher. EAST INDI♦ SUGAR.—There has been more demand for East India Sugars, and the advance of Is. a Is. 6d. on the late India House sale has been more freely realized. Siro{ll parcels of Mauritius and Siam Sugars early in the week realized full prices at public sale. This day 2,812 bags Mauritius were offered, only a middling pareel of Sugar, the whole sold readily at very full prices. FOREIGN SUGAR.—In Foreign Sugar no sales were re ported this week. COFFEE.—The quantity of Coffee brought forward this week has been very limited, being confined to the British Plantation descriptions; the good quality clean suitable for the home trade, has gone off at full prices, and the fine rather higher, but all the unclean and inferior quali ties were very dull, and the great proportion was taken in. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon ; purchasers of Brasil still appear, good ord. about 325. 6d. RUM, BRANDY, AND Her.LAxDs.—There have been large sales of fine Jamaica Rum, about 600 puns. in 10 days, 2s. 10d. a 3s. 4d. ; the purchases of Leeward*. hare been 16 over at ls. 10d., and 8 over at Is. 9d. ; proofs and over at Is. Bd. In Brandy or Genera there is no alteration. llF_str, FLAX, AND TA r,Low.-The Tallow Market early in the week had the appearance of firmness. Several vessels with Tallow had been lost, and some ships were expected to be shut in for the winter at Peteriburgh ;' the market has since rather given way. Hemp is firm. Flax little varied. IRISH PRovisroxs.-There is no alteration in Beef or Pork,-Butters are more in demand, on account of the cold weather, and the fine Carlow in particular, on ac count of the severe frost in Holland; the chief purchases lately have been in the inferior descriptions of Irish. In Bacon there is little alteration. TOBACCO.-About 200 hhds. ord. Tobacco have been sold, but the prices have not transpired. TEA.-The sale finished this day ; fine Twankays sold dearer than last sale, other kinds much the same ; Hysons from 2d. to 44. per lb. higher. Twankays, common, 2s. lid. a 2s. 3d. ; good, 2s. 3id. a 2s. sd. ; fine, 2s. 7id. a 3s. 84. ; Hyson Skin, 2s. lid. a 3s. 54. ; Hyson, com mon, 3s. 9d. a 3s. 11d. ; middling, 4s. id. a 4s. 84. ; fine, 4s. 114. a ss. 11p. SPICES.-There is more demand for Spices, but no actual sales to any extent are yet reported. COTTON.-The Cotton Market is steady, but there is no briskness in the trade. The purchases for the week ending last 'dela inclusive, consist of 1,610 Surat, 3i-d. a 111. ; 10 Bourbon, 711. ; 20 Madras, sitl. ; 30 Bowed, sd. ; 110 Bengal, 3id. a 411. The letters from Liver pool this morning state the Cotton Market heavy, and th prices rather lower. SALTPETRE.-There is more demand for Saltpetre; the prices are without variation. RICE.-In Rice there is no alteration. This day 1,000 bags good fair Bengal 9s. 6d. a 10s. 611. Isna - to.-Thete are few sales of East India Indigo to report ; the market is unvaried. The next sale, it is ex pected, will consist of 5,000 to 6,000 chests, only a small proportion is yet declared. The accounts from Calcutta direct, arc to the 11 th July, the Indigo crop, it is sup posed, would be an average ; the general estimate 100,000 inaunds ; but a letter through Bombay, of the 18th of July, states there were considerable fears entertained re specting the whole crop. The public sale of 170 serons Guatemala Indigo yesterday, sold about Sd. to 6d. loWer, about one-h ilf of the quantity was disposed of. FKUI.T.---AbOUt 700 brls. of new red Smyrna Raisins quoted last week, the importers en Monday 13 0 sales having accepted 415., at which price they n 0 0,.. tinue on tap.

MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A cir cumstance of a most melancholy nature occurred in this place on Saturday evening last. A young girl of the name ofJANE SINCLAIR, belonging to Avoch, and in the service of Mr. JAMES HARDIE, flour-merchant, bad been somewhat indisposed for two or three previous days; and in the hopes of arresting the further progress of her in disposition, medical aid was called, and she had been bled on Friday. On Saturday evening, between five and six o'clock, a brother wh, resirleaa in the ntlg,hbouliniod called to see her, and to him, for the first time, she ut tered an expression which seemed to indicate that the brain had been slightly affected by her malady. He left her about eight, after expressing a hope that she would soon recover. In a few minutes after he departed she arose from her bed, and without the knowledge of any person she ran out of the house, without any other cover ing than her shift, under petticoat, and nightcap. She could not have been five minutes out of her bed when the circumstance was discovered by her brother, who had re turned to her bedside, and notice was immediately given to a few of the neighbours, and search was made for her, but no traces of the course she had taken could be dis covered. Against the following morning intelligence of the girl's mysterious diappearance was generally spread through the town, and a great number of individuals searched for her in every place they could think of. She was at last found, about eleven O'clock, lying on her back in the little rivulet known by the name of the Tyock, quite dead, as a matter of course. It is supposed she conkd have had no intention of destroying herself, but must, in the dam kness of the night, have fallen into the rivulet, and, from cold and exhaustion, bten unable to extricate hereelf..../agin Courier. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1829. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, DEC. 7. GREGORY V. LIDDELL. The MASTER of the ROLLS, on coming into Court this morning, proceeded to give judgment in this case. It was a bill filed by the plaintiff, the Master of Queen's College, Cambridge, for the pur pose of obtaining a commission to ascertain the boundaries of certain lands, the property of that College, and in the possession of the defendant. It appeared that the lands were known by the - name of Lacey-fields, and that ever since the reign of Henry VIII. they had been held by lease by dif ferent parties under whom the defendant now claim ed. They were described as containing, by estima tion, sixty acres. Some years ago the last lease granted to the defendant expired, and he delivered up to Queen's College 40 acres only. The de fendant maintained that, according to the custom of the country, three roods composed an acre, and that the 40 statute acres which he had given up corre sponded, in point of fact, with the 60 acres men tioned in the lease. Now, supposing the defendant to be right in stating that three roods formed - all acre according to the just interpretation of the ,old leases arid documents, he ought.to have delivered up . 45 acres instead of 40, that being the proper pro portion on his own showing. It was evident that in this ease there did exist an equitable ground for coming into Court, because of the confusion of boundaries occasioned by the acts of the defendant, and those under whom he claimed. The plaintiff had also established a clear title, as well as an equi table grotind for the interference of the Court. His opinion was, that a commission should be issued to ascertain what hinds belonging to the plaintiff were in the possession of the defendant, and to set out the boundaries. Meantime the Court would reserve the quest: on of costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 7. BEESTON AND ANOTHER V. FORD. In this case an injunction h:id been obtained ex parte, restraining the defendant from making and vending a certain cooking apparatus to be used in ship, and called (as we understood) Ship's Ca booses. The apparatus was represented also as hav ing attached to it a machine for making salt water fresh. The plaintiffs claimed the invention, and a right of patent in the apparatus. Models of the ap paratus ‘vere exhibited, and carefully examined by the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. PEPYS (with whom was Mr. ROUPELL) now applied to the Court for the dissolution of the in junction. Mr. KNIGHT (for the plaintiffs) said, that his clients, claiming no more than they had a right to, only asked of the Court that the injunction might be continued pending the trial of an action at law. The VICE-CHANCELLOR should dissolve the in junction, but without prejudice to an action at law. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. '7. lIEET LIAM V. ELDRIDGE. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when our Paper went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. KEDGLEY AND WIPE V. HOLT. This was an action for wages, due to the female plaintiff, formerly Ann Fareweather, as servant to the defendant. The defence was a set-off for articles of wearing apparel, &c. paid by the defendant for Ann Fareweather, who, at the time she was in his service was between 18 and 19 years of age. It appeared that she was a young woman from the country, and had been engaged by the - defendant at 121. alear wages. She received no money of him for a considerable period, but he paid for several articles of dress for her, the amount of which he now sought to set off against her claim for wages. Amongst the different articles were—a silk dress, 11. 10s.; reticule, 2s. 6d.; lace cap, 11. 6s. Mr. Justice BAYLEY observed, that articles of this description were not necessaries, and could not, therefore, be allowed as payments on account of an infant. The defendant, who was to be con sidered as standing in the character of a parent to her, ought not to have allowed these expences to be incurred, and could not now claim the payment of them from her. Some of the payments fur necessaries were allowed, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for 101. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dr.c. 7. DATIs V. GARKET. This was an action brought. by the plaintiff, who is proprietor of lime-kilns at Bewley Cliff, Would ham, near Rochester, to recover the value of a cargo of lime shipped on board the barge Safely, of which the defendant was proprietor, and which was lost off the Isle of Sheppy, at a place which was out of her ordinary course. The defence was, that the alteration in the course of the vessel upon her ar riving at the mouth of the Medway, was rendered necessary by the state of the wind and the tide, which made it impossible to steer up the river at that point. There was a great deal of contradictory evidence called on both sides, and the Jury retbrncd a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 441. HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, DEC. - 7. SIBTHORP V. SIBTHORP. This *as an appeal brought before the Common Law and Ecclesiastical Courts, against the decision of the Dean and Chapter Court at Westminster. The suit was originally commenced by Mrs. Sib thorp, against her husband, Colonel Sibthorp, for adultery. The usual proceedings mere had, and judgment was finally passed in favour of the wife, whose prayer for separation was allowed. The usual monition for alimony had been served on Colonel Sibthorp, but was not obeyed. The sentence of the Commissary Court decreed costs and alimony, amounting to nearly 2,000/. This part of the sentence was appealed against, and the qmestion came. yesterday to be argt:ed before the whole Commission ; but, in consequence of the mat ter being brought :to an amicable arrangement, the Commission dissolved. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 7. Thomas Bernard, late a grocer and butcher in Little Pulteney-street, who was remanded, _to .pro clocc creditor,. Mr. Stone to prove the existence of a debt of 241., for whichi Mr. Stone arrested him, came up again to-day, to produce that evidence. After hearing which, The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, that considering all the circumstances of the case, it was impossible to deny that there was a bona fide detaining credi tor's debt, and that there was no collusive arrest, but the Court were of opinion that there was so much of suspicion attached to the insolvent's con duct in his transactions as to the disposal of his pro perty to his brother-in-law, Crowe, that he was not deserving of being immediately discharged. The judgment of the Court was, that the insolvent be remanded for four calendar months from the date of tiling his petition. It is imperative upon publicans, under Mr• EsTcoutur's Act for regulating public-hot see, to have the bar and tap-room in front of their houses; several, who have expended thousands in improvements of their pre mises, have been obliged to re-alter th em i n co d o nnity with the law• RUSSIA AND BRITISH INDIA. (From the Mornbag Herald City Article.) There are a good many persons in the City who continue to l'eel,or profess to feel, great anxiety least the illness of the Emperor of Russia should termi nate fatally. Such an event would doubtlessly have ! an adverse effect upon Russian Bonds, and, in the.] present feverish state of the Money Market, would probably cause a temporary decline in our Funds. We are sill, however, of opinion, that as the death of the Emperor might lead to a dispute for the suc cession, and as such dispute must inevitably paralyse the power of the Russian empire, it would, there fore, be highly favourable, in a political point of . view, to England. Whatever time-serving writers may say to the contrary, nee have much to dread from the power of Russia. Her proximity to our East India possessions: ought to make England look with a jealous eye 'upon every thing calculated to increase her resources, and to give her still greater preponderance in the councils of Europe. In taking. this view of the subject we only follow the opinions of some of ,the greatest political writers and politi cians this country. has produced, to say nothing of Napoleon, whose. authority upon such matters is a hc;st iii itself._ Colonel-Evans, however, in his late Work, has demonstrated; ' in our opinion, beyond all dispute, the practicability of the invasion of India. The line of country through which he thinks a Russian army might proceed, passes through the states of Khiva, Bokhara, and Guilin!, the climates of which are spoken of in terms of admiration, as " delightful, salubrious, and 'invigorating," by the Russian and English Envoys and Officers who have lately visited them. Col. Evans obseues— " That those who ridicule the idea of danger from Russia, are persons who have long been accustomed to look to France in all their speculations ; and having made up their minds that France cannot attack our Indian empire, they save themselves the trouble of thinking, and apply the same reasoning to this new Power, merely substituting in their minds the word ' Russia' for France.' For my part, I cannot see why we shou!d have made such exertions to get the French out of Egypt, if we are to be indifferent respecting the movements of Russia." With respect to the practicability of the invasion of India by Russia, the Colonel brings forward a host of authorities, and shows, from Russian writers themselves, what may be readily believed without their acknowledging it, that the conquest of India has frequently occupied the attention of the Cabinet of St. Pctersburgh, and that persons have been em ployed to collect every information on the subject. For our part we are convinced that, if the power of Russia goes on increasing for a few years in the same proportion as it has done latterly, our East India possessions will be placed in jeopardy. We do not, however, think that the internal tranquillity of this vast empire will be long preserved, and we have little doubt but the death of the present Em peror will greatly accelerate a civil war. But, sup posing his infant son should be allowed quietly to succeed him, the empire must be placed under a Regency ; and a Regency in a despotic State sel dom constitutes a strong or lasting Government. Under these circumstances, we do not perceive any thing in the demise of Nicholas, supposing that event should take place, alarming to England. It is true that there may be, and probably is, a powerful party in Russia opposed to the peace with Turkey ; but we do riot see how that party, should it come into power, could undo the engagements of Nicho- Ls. At any rate, such a proceeuing would be op posed by all the principal Powers of Europe. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Savoyard boy was brought, together with his monkey, before the LORD MAYOR, on a charge of vagrancy. An officer stated that the boy had, during several days, stationed himself in Cheapside with his mo:►kry. He was half naked, and dirty; and the monkey, whose natural jacket appeared to be in very woful plight, stuck close to him, and looked upon all the passers by in the most melancholy way imaginable. The grouping, in fact, was such, that few could pass without throwing something to the " two poor creeturs." They were routed from thcir pe:t several times by the officer, who at last became so well known to the monkey, that as soon as he appeared in the neighbourhood, Jacko gave hi 4 master, who usually sat with his head between his legs, a twinge by the ear, and a shake, and off they moved for a time. The place was, however, too profitable to be resigned for any length of time, and the police, although of the old stock, proved too clever for the two vagrants. It was stated that numbers of these boys pra vided with monkeys had lately arrived at Ports mouth, and were now settled in Field-lane, from whence they are sent out by fellows, upon various beats in the metropolis, where they picked up as much as paid their employers well for maintaining them. One man had brought them over as a specu lation; but he found a variety of bidders for the article. The LORD MAYOR wished the reciprocity system was adopted with respect to this commodity ; but our beggars were not enterprising, or, perhaps, were too well fed to try the experiment.—(A laugh.) The boy was interrogated ini French and English, ' but he attended to no questions put to him. lie seemed to rely upon the monkey to get him out of the scrape. A beadle, who had seen the two delinquents be fore, seriously assured the Lord Mayor that both could answer for themselves. It was nonsense to think the boy left every thing to the monkey.— (Laughter.) Tke LORD MAYOR—The monkey has made him self intelligible to me certainly. I 'can see that he has had no breakfast, and that he fears he will get none while his fciend is in prison ; but, though it may be a hard thing upon the monkey, he must keep out of the streets. The monkey gave the boy a twitch, and the lat ter, as if he 'Tally was taking a hint, said that he belonged to the colony in Field-lane. The LORD MAYOR ordered that the companions should be detained in the Compter, and that intel ligence of the state of that colony should be brought to him. The Vagrant Act gives full power to pw!inh per- F+?id forth_ others to collect alms; and it is by no means creditable to the police that those who pocket the profits escape with impunity. HATTON.GARDEN. Archibald Roderick, a respectable-looking mildle aged man, was yesterday brought up before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. LAING and Mr. ROGERS, from Pentonville watch-house, charged by Mr. Oliphant Sheen, of 37, Claremont-s:reet, with in decently exposing his person. After some indignant remarks from the Magi strate, the defendant was admitted to bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 50/. each, to appear at the sessions. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a young woman, named Sarah Lewis, was brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, charged by Po lice Serjeant Perring with having been disorderly on the previous night. Serjeant Perrin;; found the prisoner dancing in Shire-lane, attired in a boy's dress. her pranks had called • together a great crowd of persons, .and h e took the prisoner to the police station in Covent garden. In the course of the night she said she had something important to disclose reTectin4 a robbery committed, about six weeks ago, in the house of a geiltleinan; named Rougemont, in Surrey. The Magistrate having questioned the girl re specting it, found that the statement which she gave was likely to lead to the apprehension of the , ffentins, anti he directed that it should be taken down in writing. As a public disclosure, however, might frustrate the ends of justice, we forbear to state the particulars which transpired, as directions were given to act upon the girl's evidence, who was ordered to be remanded.—(See report for the home Circuit.) PRICE 7p. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday James Butler, a housekeeper, at No. 84, Drummond -street, Euston-square, was charged before Mr. RAWLINSON with housebreaking; and Mary, his wife, and John James, a green-grocer, and a housekeeper alio, in Seymour-street, Euston square, were charged on suspicion with being his accomplices. The prisoners were all respectably dressed, and were remanded till Saturday. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday George Hamilton was brought up for final examination before Mr. GREGORIE, charged with stealing a silver hunting-watch, with three gold seals, valued at 71., from Serle's Coffee-house, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.• • The prisoner gave himself up to John Brown, a police-constable, on Friday evening, in King-street, and confessed he had committed the robbery, the particulars of which he detailed, and said he had committed the felony for the purpose of getting transported. The prisoner was fully committed. UNION-HALL. Yesterday O'Neal, the pugilist, attended at his office according to his promise, accompanied by two housekeepers, for the purpose of entering into sure ties of 1001. each, in addition to the recognizances of 2001., which he had been compelled to enter into on the day that the fight between him and Dutch Sun was to have taken place near Petworth, it 4 Sussex. The necessary bail having been put in and approved of, Mr. CHAMBERS, addressing O'Neal, in qnired of him whether he apprehended Dutch Sam, or whatever his name was, intended to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace. " I ask you this upon your oath," said the Magistrate, " for if you entertain any such belief, I shall have no hesitation in acting in such a manner as will speedily settle the business." O'Neal, in reply, said tbat,he had been insulted by Dutch Sam since the occasion upon which he (O'Neal) had entered into his own recognizance of 2001. not to fight him. It is not, howeyer, by him that I fear I may be provoked to commit a breach of the peace, but by others. In the course of the proceedings Mr. CHAM BERS read the fellowing letter from the Mayor of Guildford : " SIB, —My attention has been called to the statement in the Morning papers of yesterday relative to the assem blage of persons in the town on Monday last, to be pre pard for the disgusting exhibition which was contem plated between two of the prize-lighters a few miles off, and particularly to the information given to you at Union hall by the police-officer, that he was interrupted in the laudable and praisewot•thy exercise of his duty, to prevent the intended outrage on society and decency, by a County Magistrate. " I have felt it my duty to inquire of the innkeeper at whose house the imposition was practised on Hall, and I • ant happy to he able to state, that the person who repre santed himself as a Magistrate was a perfect stranger in this part of the country, and I venture to say that there is nut the least foundation for the statement made by that person that he was either a county or town Magistrate. " I leave you to mike such use of this information as may appear to you to be necessary. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " JOSEPH HAYDON, Mayor of Guildford." Mr. CHAMBERS having again expressed his deter mination to omit no exertion on his part to prevent a recurrence of prize fights, in that county at all events, then ndvisedO'Neal to give into custodyany person who endeavoured to incite him to commit a breach of the peace. " You are. strong and stout enough," said the Magistrate, " and should you meet with any thing of the kind I have alluded to, take the person by the collar, give him into the custody of a constable, and then bring him before me, and I shall soon deal with him in such a manner as will prevent a recurrence of the kind." O'Neal, having said that he should act in such an emergency as the Magistrate had suggested; then withdrew. TITHE LAWS.—A meeting of payers and receivers of tithes in the county of Devon was held on Wednesday, at which it was resolved to present a requisi tion to the Sheriff, requesting him to call a county meet ing, in order that its sense might be expressed to Parlia ment on the present state of the tithe laws. The Hon. N. FELLOW KS was called to the Chair. He stated that it was the intention of Ministers to introduce some mea sure into Parliament with a view to an arrangement in regard to tithes, and that a Bill was preparing for that purpose. General SANTANDER, formerly Vice-Pre sident of Colombia, has arrived at Hamburg.. It is known that a decree of exile was issued against him, in conse quence of a conspiracy against BouvAa. He is reported to possess a fortune of 3,000,000 francs, half of which be has brought with Mot in gold. On the day of his arrival in Hamburg, he wished to pay his expences in small ingots, but the citizens not being accustomed to money of that description, refused them ; but they were better informed the next day. SANTANDsn's complexion is like that of Europeans, but his children resemble mulattoes. They speak French, and are agreeable in person. It is thought the General will come to reside in Paris. —French Paper. - • We have on several former occasions noticed, the difference which exists between the Rev. W. J. ST. Aunvx, Rector of Stoke Damerel, and his parishionets, relative to his demanding the sum of 21. 125., every time a vault is opened in the burying-ground at Stoke Church, for the interment of a body. The subject has been dis cussed at several Vestry meetings, and nothing definitive has been agreed to, but the circumstance we are now china to detail, will, we have no doubt, bring the In:Ater to an issue. Mr. BLACKMORV, a respectable inhabitant of De vonport, in that parish having a son die, a few days since, gave notice to the Church authorities, that he wished to have his vault in the churchyard opened, in order to have the body of his son interred. In reply to this the gsual, 4. 3 p, 5 0 was made on behalf a t!! ,1 . 4 .t.ctz.1 - ,• Titieli being refused, the consequence was, the Rector imagined that he was only de_ mantling that which was his right, denied (unless this amount was paid) having the vault °petits!. • Mr,BLACX..

The parties then separated. Mr. B. being determined that his son's body should be interred in the fa:nily vault, and that without paying the Rector's demands marred the hearse to, convey the body hack to his residence; this was done anti at a great concourse of persons, thought we shouht obset ye not the least disposition towards disorder st.r vio lence was displayed. The body will be placed in a lead coffin, and deposited in a temporary mausoleum erected ia his garden, till the right be determined, immediate steps being taken to bring the cause to a hearing before the pro per authorities.

PETEasnußott, Nov. 20.—The late journey of M. Von Humboldt has led to a discovery very interesting to science, and which may be of great importance to Russia and to the landowner who made it. Above two years ago M. Von Humboldt, from the great resemblance between the mountains of the Ural and tliose of Brazil, concluded that diamonds might very probably be found in Siberia.— Count Von Poticr, hid Majesty's Chamberlain, who accompsaiel him, was led by his conversation o the same conclusion, and when M. Von Humboldt went to Tobolsk, the Count left him to visit the estates of his wife on the left of the Ural.

The impression : made by this halivy and glivious event on the inhabitants or the •teri-t!ory of Caucasus, w,ts the more lively, in - proportio'r, to the Injurious effects of a war with the rreio,l;oori:,g states. The din of war has lasted three yr fir:, rkri , i we have a lively recollection of the dangers end pH. lage.which we escaped by the memorable Mile (it Jelissawetopol. The. peace with Persia Nv::it a sub ject of great rejoicing to us, but it was fulowed by a war with an equal power,. and much more war I:'a people. The war with Asiatic Turkey exposed the peace able inhabitants of our territory to new dangers. Though the brilliant success of our troop secured them from hostile invasion, they were thr.atened with a more formidable enemy—namely, the plague. Our people will never forget what they !nice suf fered in former wars with Turkey, and the adorn-- " when there is wilt with Turkey, We e the plague in Georgia"—filled the inhabitants t,f Tiflis with alarm. However, the unabated vigi:ance tit the Government has saved us from this !•courge; and if the plague has appeared in seine nev.ly con quered districts which were not folly cw.;anized, this could hardly be prevented. After the ermopeat at Kars it even manifested itself at head-(;waiters, by which the brilliant progress of the Htt-ss;..n a; rn3 was for a short time interrupted ; but the j:olicioos and rigorous measures employed checked a lie pro gress of the evil and suppressed it at its v:'ty com mencement. The treaties with Persia an:l Turkey, by reinoi , - ing the frontiers of the empire to a greater distance from us, give almost a perfect security to coun tries that begin to enjoy the blessings of peace undcr the beneficent dominion of Russia. Pei haps the time is not so remote as we believe, when the pre datory hordes of the Caucasus will ceaso to turn With brutal ferocity all their thoughts to pillage. The acquisition of Anupa and Akhalzik is a grciit step to this desirable result. Beery body knows what an important support the mountain tribes have lost by -the fall of Anapa, and what a service has been done to humanity by the abolition of the shamcfal slave market there, in which they sold their prisoners. But perhaps only those who have lived in Georgia can appreciate the advantages which the country will derive from the possession of Akhalzik. It will suffice to recollect, that only fifteen years.ago, ' all the inhabitants of a village, but two wrists from the gates of Tiflis, were murdered by a party of Leighis, who sallied from Akhalzik to plunder. The ruins of their houses still attest the ba.barity of those marauders. The country round Akhalzik now be cultivated by peaceable inhabitants. Tlxa proud castles, whose moss-covered wails appeal,' through the dark forests of the desles of Borshoin, will serve only to excite the curiosity of the travel. ler, and we may hope that the prophecy will be ful filled, according to which, instead of the crescent of Mahomet, which was carried away by the Russian bombs from the dome of the Mosque of Achlned, in Akhalzik, the holy cross shall be eret:ted, aset that noble building be consecrated as a Christian church, in which peaceable subjects shall put . up ardent prayes to the Almighty for the life of the great Monarch of the Russian empire, and for tho long continuance of his wise. govermnent.—Tiflis Gazette.

This change is ascribed, not to the internal affairs of the country, or to the political interference of the Porte, but to other causes. Mehemet Ali is said to have received formally from n great European Power,'an assurance of the recognition of his indepcndenze, as soon as he should succeed in subduing the Barbary States, and reducing those furious ttihes under hiss dominion. Build'ng on this promise, he was making every preparation for such an enterprise, when he was suddenly informed that the situations of things had changed, and that the Power in question not only ‘vithdrew its promise, but advised Win to give up the plan altogether, because the most important interests of Europe would be endangered by it. For the present Ali seems disposed to follow the advice, which is. surely not welcome to him ; but it is thought unlikely that he will entirely give up the scheme which he had so eagerly embraced..

WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. Last night a general half-yearly meeting of the Members of this Institution was held at their Rooms, No. 47, Lei.. eester-square. The meeting was most numerously attended . Shortly after eight o'clock, Joi: CAM HOBLIOUSE, ESQ., M.P., followed by the Committee of Management, entered the room, and were received with loud and long-continued cheering. Mr. SKELTON proposed that John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. do take the chair, which was carried with great applause, with the exception of one gentleman, who expressed con sderable murmurings and dissatisfaction, when there were Jowl cries of " Turn him out—turn him out !" Mr. HOBEIOCRE took the Chair, and said he felt much obliged to the Meeting for the honour conferred, and hoped that no person would attempt to interrupt the proceedings of the evening, but that every one should be patiently heard, and he had no doubt they should have an agreeable meeting.—(Great applause.)—A report had been prepared which the Secretary would read. Mr. THOMAS SNELSON, the Secretary, then read the report, which detailed the proceedings of the Society, and gave an account of their funds ; from which it appeared. that the expenditure of the last half year, or up to Oct. 31, 1829, amounted to '799/. 3s. 3d., and the receipts to within a trifle of the same amount. That there bad se ceded from the Society 333 members, and 192 new ones had enrolled themselves; the present number of members was, therefore, 622.—(Cheers.) —The report then enumerated a long list of donations, amongst which were two that cause d cons iderable merriment, viz.—a piece of melted lead from York Minster, and a phrenological bust from Mr. De Ville. It also stated that the library of the Institution now contained 3,860 volumes—(cheers), —and the musical libsary 512 volumes. That during the last half year there had been 27 lectures given, and that every demand had been liquidated. The report concluded by setting forth the great advantages to be derived by members of the In stitution, and recommending a cordial co-operation. Mr. READ moved that the Report be adopted, which after some discussion was agreed to. Mr. READ then moved " That after the 20th February, MO, as soon as the number of members shall amount to 700, an admission fee of 103. 6d. (independent of the annual subscription) shall be taken from every new mem ber, and 6s. on the te-admission of any member who has seceded." Mr. BARNARD said he must oppose the resolution; 10s. 6d. was too large an admission fee, and if enforced would prevent a great number from joining the Institution. Mr. READ supported the resolution. The Institution had now been established four years, and he would ask, when they had a library well supplied with hooks, after its old members had persevered against evil and good report, with much anxiety, much trouble, loss of time, and expence, he would ask, was it just or equitable that Dew members should come in on an equality with old ones ?—(No, no, it is not.)—There was another subject that also called for the attention of the meeting, and one that bad caused great difficulty to the Committee, he meant the practice of gentlemen becoming half yearly subscribers, and a resolution would be sub mitted to call for an annual subscription. The Committee had ,'one every thing for the good of the Institution that it was possible for any set of men to do, but they had met with evils that could not he averted, and to guard against future ills he thought the proposition of an entrance fee of 10s, Gd., could not be objected to; other Institutions had done the same, and found it to succeed. He would rather however the resolution did not pass without unanimously or by a large majority, for certain it was, the advantages held out by the Western Literary and Scientific Institution would always ensure success.— (Cheers, ) A MEMBER wished to ask, as the resolution was not to take effect until the society consisted of 700 members, whether or not, if they should be reduced under that number, it was still to continue in force. Mr. SEELTox said, if the resolution was once carried into effect, it would remain in force until rescinded by the general body. He must, however, say that in his opinion, 10e. Gd. admission was not sufficient,—(laughter)—every one felt the advantages to be derived, and if the entrance was to be raised to 1/. it would lock in its members. There would not be so many seceders during the summer months. He should support the motion, although lie wished the entrance had been higher. 31r ARNETT had great objection to the motion. It would change the very character of the Institution, and lie thought if se. more was subscribed by the members during the winter half year, it would be sufficient to pay the additional expences. He should, therefore, propose a resolution to this effect, by way of amendment. The amendment, after several Members had delivered their sentiments, was put from the Chair, and negatived by a large majority. Mr. JAcEsoN then spoke at considerable length on the propriety and justice of an admission free. The library had been obtained at a great expence anti trouble, and he did not tee why new members should come in and reap the advantages that had caused so much labour. There wse no similar institution in the Metropolis that held out greater inducement's and advantages to gentlemen becoming Member?, and he was only astonished an entrance fee had not been required before. There was another reason why this resolution should be adopted, viz. the propriety anti necessity of having an accumulation fund. Experience had shown that Institutions in the Metropolis, however pros perous at one time, have met with difficulties against which they could not contend. Such might be the fate of this, and the Committee, therefore, ought to have a fund to resort to in the hour of distress. I3esides, the en trance fee would make them more constant—there would eiot be so many birds of pa,sage. (Laughter.) A 3IEMBER thought it would be better to raise the sub scription of the present members for ore year, the present new ones joining, by demanding an entrance fee ; at all events it would be well to try it for one yeas. .3lr. JONES said, 700 members at 2/. per year was not enifteient to cover the expenditure of the institution, which exceeded 1,6001. per annum. Mr. POCNCY wished to correct this statement, the re ceipts of the last year were equal to the expenditure, but the last half year certainly exhibited a deficiency of about '7Ol. or SOL, which was always the case in the summer months, .1w had no doubt there would be a balance in their favour next year. Ile had thought it right to give this explanation that members need not form a gloomy idea of their finance;. Several Members gave their opinions that the only way increasing their numbers and income was to held out advantages at an easy rate. It was very desirable to in duce young men from IS to 21 to join the institution, and it was well known at that time of life their exchequer was .seblom over-loaded, and that it would be bad policy and injurious to the interest of the society to increase its sub scription, or enforce an entrance fee. The original motion was then put front the Chair, and carried by an overwhelming majority. Mr. SKELTON moved the second resolution, " That on and attar the Ist of March next, every Member shall con tribute to i!te funds of the Institution twoguineas annually, nr 11. 4s. halt: yearly, instead of his present subscription of two pounds." The Hon. Member, in an eloquent speech, enforced the necessity of increasing the funds of so excellent and useful an Institution. Mr. JACKSON seconded the resolution. He had pro• posed a similar one eighteen months since, but it was then thought the Institution was not sufficiently established, and he withdrew it. Such an objection could not now be raised, and he therefore thought the resolution would meet with an unanimous vote. By an exactly similar increase in the subscription to the London Literary Institution, that Soeiety had completely extricated themselves from pecuniary difficulty. A MEMBER coal he objected to a half-yearly subscriber aying more in proportion tlaan an annual one. There was a rival establishment where they could be admitted for a gu;•iea, and if carried would drive them away. Mr. REA: , and Mr. SKELTON, two of the Committee, said, the propostion of making half-yearly Members pay 249. was only carrie:. l in Committee by a small majority ; they were opposed to it. At the same time they thought, when so much good could be done by raising the annual subscription 25., every Member would agree to it. The CHAIRMAN then put the Resolution in an amended form, viz. " That the subscriptions be increased from 21. to 2/. 25., payable half-yearly. Carried unanimously. A third Resolution was proposed to increase Ladies' Tickets from 10 s, to 129., which, after some debate, was negatived. Another resolution for altering the days of holding the half-yearly Meetings was agreed to. The SECRETARY then read the Report of Scrutineers appointed to conduct the election of the Committee of Ma nagement for the ensuing year, and the names of the gen tlemen elected. On the motion that it be adopted, a long —somewhat irregular—and very warm debate ensued, which ultimately terminated by the Report being adopted. A vote of thanks to the Committee for their services during the past year was carried. A vote of thanks was then moved to the Chairman, not only for his able conduct in the Chair, but for the great in terest he bad at all times manifested for the interests of the Institution.—Carried with great applause. .31r. floatnoust returned thanks, I must ? said the Hon. Gentleman, beg leave to say that I feel great interest in this Institution. I was a member at its birth, but I hope that I shall not see its deatll.—(Great applause.)— Whe2 you honoured me by calling me to the Chair, one worthy gentleman in the corner of the room expressed his disapprobation, he has, however, had patience with me, and I thank him,—(a laugh)—and should that gentleman ever be called upon to fill the same situation, I can assure him I will extend the same forbearance to him.—(Laugh ter.)—l see, gentlemen, in those half yearly meetings, the encreasing prosperity of our Institution. I say unto you, go on and prosper—(cheers)—if you do, such are the excel lent benefits to be derived, that you will become wiser, abler, and better men.—(Cheers.) —ln conclusion, gentlemen, I can only say you may at all times command my services. —(Great cheering.)

Despatches were received this morning at the Colonial Office from Major-General Sir G. D'URBAN, Governor of Demerara, dated Sept. 30 ; from Sir CHAS. COLVILLE, Governor of the Mauritius, dated July 27 ; and also from the Governor of Sierra Leone. By the French Papers of Sunday we learn ;hat the Russians have at length actually eva- cuated Adrianople. Their departure took place on the 11th of November, but whether it was final or not, we have yet to learn. The greatest gloom prevailed at Adrianople in consequence, and serious apprehensions were entertained from the arrival of the Paella of SCUTARI, who was to be the Governor. If all accounts be true with respect to this man, the inhabitants have good reason to fear from his Government. Some persons, indeed, say that he is rather violent than tyrannical, but in a Turkish Governor these attributes may pass for synonimous terms. Should the PACIIA be mad enough to take a retrospec- ,ive view of things and persons, he will fine ample matter for his vengeance ; but we should think that his own conduct and that of his brother Chieftains in arms, will whisper modera tion, if not an oblivion of the past, except in the stern lesson which it ought to teach for the future. Any acts of revenge or retalia tion, however just in a political sense, will be attended with dangers which it may be out of the power of the PACIIA to avert : beside 3 it would be premature to awaken the embers of discord before the Russians have yet re tired beyond cannon shot of the city. An other consideration ought to weigh deeply with the l'ActrA, that any undue acts of severity will certainly provoke the Russians to return accord ing to the stipulations in the treaty, that there shall he no person molested for his past con duct. This was a just provision, though how far it will be respected by the galled Turk re mains to be seen. One thing, however, is clear, that the Russians will take advantage of any circumstance of this description that may give them a pretence for intermeddling in the affairs of the humbled SULTAN : (From the Messager des Chartres of Sunday.) ADRIANOPLE, NOV. 15. Our city was evacuated by the Russians on the 11th of this month ; I will not conceal from you that we are very sorry for it. We have been so accustomed for these three months to see the Rus •ians, that their departure leaves us in a kind of solitude; the public-houses, taverns, and hotels were so animated and so crowded. All is now melan choly, gloomy, and dull. Besides we are now cer t•in cf having the Paella of Scutari for our Gover nor, who has the honour of being ccrdially detested here. Accordingly many persons of distinction are more resolved than ever to quit the city, and are already making preparations for that purpose. A person who is intimately acquainted with the Pacha of Scutari has assured me, that the hatred which is felt towards him was unjust and exagge rated. This man is rather violent than tyrannical. ;1.; foolish ambition ;go his obstinacy have some times impelled him to actions, which, on calm re flection, he soon disavowed. It is to be hoped that he will be sufficiently pru dent in his government of Adrianople to refrain from every recrimination and inquiry concerning opinions. Mod . erate conduct, and just and prudent measures, pti alone gain the minds of his country men. It is reported this morning that fresh troubles have broken out at Constantinople, but this re quires confirmation. (From the Journal des Debuts.) TOULON, NOV. 30. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) The Egle brig has just received orders to sail immediately for the Levant,. with despatches for Admiral de Rigny. I t is affirmed that that Admi ral is recalled to France, to direct and command the expedition against Algiers. This circumstance per- fectly coincides with the erder given at Toulon to hasten the equipment of the Bellone, the Syrenc, the Didon, and several other vessels. (From the Gazette de France.) FLORENCE, soy. 17. A ship of the line, of 74 guns, built for the Pacha of Egypt, was launched at Leghorn on the 15th. The Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Dowager Grand Duchess were present at the launch, which was completely successfHl, and his Highness gave to the builder the cross of St. Joseph, and to th e Pacha's agent a snuff-box, with his cypher in dia monds. (From the Allgenzeine Zcitung of Dec. 2.) . _ VIENNA, Nov. 27.—Metalliques 102 i; Four per Cents. 91a; Bynk Shares 1239. Frankfort and German Papers have been re ceived this morning to a late date, but their contents possess no political interest. The spi rit of free trade seems to extend its beneficial influence to ►he various states of Germany, who now begin to see that the more unrestricted trade and commerce become, the more likely are they to benefit all classes. In fact, nothing but a perverse understanding can advocate an illiberal system of commercial restriction : a narrow po licy bespeaks a narrow soul ; and the more en lightened a nation becomes the more is it dis posed to take to take an enlarged view of in terests, that to possess a lasting quality must have an universal application : MAYENCE, NOV. 24. We learn that the Councillor of State Bourbound, Commissioner of the Netherlands for the Naviga tion of the Rhine, will be Consul in this city. Our city, situated at the conflux of the Maine, the Middle and Upper Rhine, not far from the mouth of the Necker, possessing a spacious free port and large magazines in it, is extremely well adapted to be a principal depot for the commerce of the Nether land, whence the countries on the Upper Rhine, the south of Germany, Switzerland, &c. may be speedily supplied with all the goods that they have been used to receive from Holland ; and like wise, too, all the produce of those countries may be most conveniently sent as return car goes for Holland. For the facility of commerce in general, it is much to be wished that such a depot were established in Mayence, which in many respects is a natural staple place. Our Government, which is well aware of what is really advantageous to trade and manufactures, will un doubtedly favour an undertaking for the execution of which Dutch agents have already come hither to obtain the necessary information on the spot. In the Address of thanks of our Esttes to the Grand Duke not a word is said of the free naviga tion of the Rhine, or of the commercial treaty lately concluded with Bavaria arri Wurtemburg, though both were mentioned in the Speech from the Throne. We believe that we express the sentiments and views of all enlightened men, when we reckon mea sures, designed to promote the freedom of com merce and manufactures in Germany, as calculated :o have the most decisive and beneficial influence on the welfare of the whole country. The Hessian and Prussian Governments have the great merit of having taken the lead, and opened the way to a general convention between all the German states for the regulation of their commercial interests, and the establishment of a uniform system of duties, &c. Those who are sensible of the importance of trade and manufactures, which, in modern times, are the chief foundation of the greatness and power of states, cannot fail to see in this union, and the free navigation of the Rhine, the commencement of a new era, and the pledge of the future prosperity of the German states. The cold, which has so suddenly set in, will, it it should continue and interrupt the navigation, be very injurious to trade, because larger quantities of Colonial produce are on the way from Holland hither, and our stock is almost exhausted in conse quence of consignments to Baden and Bavaria. Corn, as might be expected, has fallen consider ably, and as the accountA front Holland, France, and England are not favourable, a further decline may be expected. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF THE BUCKOWINA, Nov. 18. The plague, which has proved so disastrous in the Principalities, has extended also to Podolia. The sanitary cordon on our side is strengthened, and the time of quarantine for travellers is fixed at four teen days. We may hope that the setting in of the cold weather will prove favourable to health, and that the vigorous measures of the Russian, as well as the Austrian Government, will prevent the pro pagation of the disorder. Some peasants are said to have been victims to the plague near Kaminiecz ; unhappily a murrain also prevails in that country, and whole villages are reduced to poverty by the loss of all their cattle. The accounts from the in terior of Russia, respecting the state of the public health, are favourable. _ FRANKFORT, Nov. 30.—Exchange on London, two months, 151 k. Quebec Papers to the Bth of November, and Montreal to the 10th of November, have been received at the North and South American Cof fee-house : both thel above Papers contain an account of a severe storm which was experienced at Quebec on the Saturday preceding, which had done great damage to the small craft, and three or four schooners. Accounts from New Orleans, of the 22d of October, received at New York, state that Gen. BARRADAS was still in that city. It was re ported that in the late gale at Tampico, the United States sloop of war Hornet was dis masted : the Hound and Eclipse, of New Orleans, were lost. Bombay Papers to the 2d of August have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house ; their contents are unimportant. Letters from the Havannah, of the 26th of October ; have been received at the North and South American Care.a-bouse:—They state that the whole of the Spanish fleet had arrived there. The Chilian, BUTLER, and the Cor nelia, CONSTANT, from Tampico, arrived at the Havannah on the 24th of October, with 19 Spanish officers and 448 soldiers. Letters from Madrid of the 26th Nov. state, that the news of the evacuation of Mexico by the Spanish troops had been received by the Government by an extraordinary Courier, which has caused great consternation to the Spanish Ministry, who did not expect such an unfavour able termination to their hopes. We are sorry to hear of the failure of a con siderable, though not an old-established, silk house in Lon don. Most of the manufacturing houses in that branch of trade h e re are said to be creditors."—Mcmehester Guard. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)I FROM LLOYD'S.

Andrew Malcolm were in dicted, Kemp for stealing 43 pictures, value 4001., the property of Wm. Hewitson, and Malcolm for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. M. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution, observ ing, that although nearly the last, the present was the most important case which they had tried during the Sessions. Wm. Hewitson stated that he is a picture-dealer, and lives in Brooke-street ; in Autumn, last year, he accom panied Kemp to Bristol, where he acted as his servant; he was to have for his services one-third of all the pictures be sold ; after witness left Bristol for London, the prisoner Kemp went to Exeter for the purpose of ef fecting sales. Some pictures were sent afterwards from Exeter to the Gerrard's Inn, Basing-lane. Witness went there and claimed them. A few days after he went there and found they were gone; he traced them to the shop of Malcolm in '1 itchborne-street ; he said he gave 801. for them, and bid defiance to witness, and told him to seek his remedy by law. In a long cross-examination by Mr. CLARKSON the witness admitted that he was sent the pictures by Pere and Maineth, who consigned them to him at an invoice price, and he was to have the difference between the charged price and what they sold for. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN put it to Mr. ALLEY whether, after hearing this evidence, he thought he could sustain a conviction. Mr. ALLEY said that he had no doubt of it, and he would pledge his honour that that was his expecta tion, and insisted that the case ought to go to the Jury. The COURT observed that it was like trying a civil ac tion in a criminal Court. The prosecutor was then re-examined at great length 9 to the money be received for the pictures sold, and the manner in which the profits were divided between him and Kemp, with a view to prove that they were partners. In his re-examination by Mr. ALLEY, the witness deiied that the prisoner had any property in the pictures, nor was lie accountable in any way to the consignors. After he was in custody, Kemp had sent in an account, demanding 671. from witness, although he had before acknowledged himself a debtor for Si. COURT-Mr. Alley, can you carry this case further ? Mr. ALLEY—I shall prove that the prisoner took the packages away without leave of the prosecutor. Mr. CLARKSON would take that for granted, but he was quite convinced that the prisoner was entitled to an acquit tal, fur it appeared to him that the prosecutor was an agent to Pere and Maineth, and Kemp seemed to he a co•agent. Mr. ALLEY—WeII, my Lord, although I do not ac quiesce in your opinion, I must say I have done my duty to my client. The Jury returned a verdict of acquittal. Mr. CLARKSON told Smart, the person who now pos sesses the pictures, that an action would be brought against him for the recovery. NEW COURT. Hannah IVelch otherwise Ann TVelch, was capitally indicted for uttering several pieces of false and counterfeit money, knowing them to be such, representing shillings ; also with having been convicted at Clerkenwell Sessions, in 1827, for the same offence. Guilty—Death. Thomas Mayor, aged 27, was indicted for putting off and selling, on the 23d Nov. last, certain pieces of milled and counterfeit coin, purporting to be shillings, at a lower price than the value. Verdict—Guilty. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. A New York Paper states, that the letters from Bogota report the new Congress was to assemble in January, to form a new Constitution, and that a part of the army had already been gained over to make Bolivar Emperor, but the opposition was very strong, and a compromise was expected be tween the parties, so as to make him President for ten years, with dictatorial powers, and at liberty to be re-elected for another ten years. They write from Berlin of the 26th Nov. that accounts were received there from St. Petersburgh, stating that no doubt was entertained that the Russians would evacuate the Principalities, and when the Russian army had entered the Russian territory it would be newly organized, and great reform was to take place in the civil adminis tration of that country ; it is also added that a Russian Diplomatist will be sent to Corfu to reside near the Lord High Commissioner, who will be charged with despatches for Count Capo d'lstria. A slight shock of an earthquake was felt at Rochefort on the 27th of November, which lasted 120 seconds. THE FUNDS. The Funds, which were rather heavy yesterday, have somewhat improved this morning, owing to the various reports with regard to the Emperor of Russia's illness being discredited. Consols, which left off yesterday at 94a for the Account, have been done at 943, at which price they continue, al ternately buyers and sellers. In the Foreign Market there is little doing.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at 20 minutes before eleven o'clock. IN RE SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER, A LUNATIC. Mr. PHILLIMORE stated that this was an application, having in view an arrangement with respect to the pay ment of some debts due from this unfortunate gentleman. Some time ago the matter was referred to the Master, to ascertain whether it would be proper that a sum of money should be raised by way of mortgage, and whether a mortgagee could be found. The Master reported that it would be proper to make a mortgage, and that a gentleman had come forward, who was swilling to advance as a mort gagee a sum of 12,0001., and also a sum of 25,0001. It was subsequently reported and confirmed, that 25,0001. should be raised without any regard for the present to the further sum of 12,0001. ; and that money has accordingly been raised and laid out. The present petition then prayed that the blaster might be ordered to inquire whe ther any interest ought to be allowed on the judgment debts mentioned in the petition—and if so, what sum for prin cipal, interest, and costs, was due to each judgment credi tor—what ought to be allowed to Sir George Tuthill and Mr. Warburton for their attendance upon, and care of the lunatic, and that the same might be ordered to he paid out of the 25,0001; also that the Committee should be ordered to pay 745/. 145., to Sir Geo. Tuthill, the ba lance of 1,2431. 14s. found due to that gentleman by a former report for his attendance; that 344/. might be di rected to be paid to the Marshal of the King's Bench, for articles supplied to the lunatic during his residence in the King's Bench Prison, contracted for by the lunatic, and found to be due by the Master; and that the other creditors, whose amount of debts had been duly ascertained, might be directed to be paid out of the residue of the fund. All the creditors had been served with this petition, and they, as well as Lady Turner, appeared, and consented to it. The Loan CHANCELLOR seemed to assent to the prayer, but desired to have an opportunity of reading the petition. ROLLS COURT. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE MAYOR Of BERWICK. The Court at its sitting proceeded with this part heard case, which was a heavy charity cause, and appeared likely to occupy the Court the whole day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court took exceptions and further directions to-day. TOMLINS V. P.I.K. The VICE-CMANCELLOR give judgment in this case, which came before the Court upon exceptions, overruling the exceptions, and confirming the Master's report. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LADDS V. PALMER, ESQ. M. P. Air. LAWS stated that this wag an action by the plain- tiff against the Member for Surrey, to recover 451. as the amount of three years' rent for a piece of land which the defendant occupied at Kingston, Surrey. It appeared, he believed, that the money had been paid by Mr. Palmer to some person who was not authorised to receive it. A warrant of attorney had been formerly given to a person to whom Mr. Palmer had paid the rent for a time ; but the Learned Counsel said he should, he had no doubt, he able to prove that the warrant of attorney had been re voked, and that Mr. Palmer had Ind sufficient notice of that revocation before he paid the money now sought to be rebovered. _ _ Evidence was then given of the above facts, after which the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 221. 10s. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. 7. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) TYE - CORPORATION Or STAMFORD V. HAVILIPT. Mr. — Torkington, Town' Clerk of Stamford, pioduced the hall-book, containing the account of pi oceedings at the Common Ilall ; also the Chamberlain's accounts for 1715 ; from which it appeared that the profits of the two new fairs for that year were 71. 12s. 4d. ; for 1716, 71. ss. 7d. ; for 1717, 6/. Os. Id. An account was also read from the Chamberlain's Book of Receipts of the five fairs, from 1718 down to 1812. The Coußr thought it hardly worth while to pursue this further, as living witnesses might be produced to speak to the rest of the entries. Abel Blades, examined by Mr. HILLIARD—Was ap pointed, 10 years ago, Collector of the Corporation Tolls ; had assisted for seven or eight years before his appoint ment ; Amos Jackson had the tolls at that period ; re .iceived a list of the tells to be demanded, from the Town Clerk, and collected the tolls according to that list ; the tolls then collected corresponded with the tolls collected in the time of Jackson ; never had the payment of tolls re fused ; a person of the name of Miller succeeded him as Collector. By the COMMON SenJEANT—It was always 2d. ; when a freeman purchased cattle no toll was paid by him ; the purchaser always paid it. Mr. Farrant, examined by Mr. TAUNTON—Was in the Town Clerk's Office; had been there upwards of 30 years ; the predecessor of Mr. Torkington (the present Town Clerk) was appointed in 1780 ; at the bottom of the Hall Book was a memorandum, purporting to be an examination by a preceding Town Clerk, signed with ini tials ; the witness believed the initials to be the initials of Mr. Whych, late Town Clerk. On the objection to this evidence by the COMMON Sea- J RANT, The COURT could not see how a private memorandum in the Corporation books could be evidence of their rights. The Court, however, would not refuse the evidence, if Mr. Taunton insisted on it. James Meuse, examined by Mr. CHILTON—Was 46 years of age ; his fatl•.er rented the fair tolls at Stamford, on lease ; assisted his father in the collection of the tolls till he was 20 years of age, at which time he went into the army ; collected at six fairs ; the May fair was one ; sometimes had squabbles with drovers about tolls. By the COMMON SERJEANT-The purchaser mostly paid the tolls, but sometimes it was divided ; demanded the tolls of the purchaser generally ; when a freeman sold, he took the whole toll from the purchaser ; if the parties chose to divide the tolls, it was immaterial to him, so as he got the tolls; could not remember any particular in stance in which such occurrence had taken place ; could never remember any person refusing to pay toll ; never re membered Sir John Trollope refusing to pay tolls. By Mr. CHILTON-Whoever drove the beasts away he asked for the tolls. - - - John Meuse, examined by Mr. HILLIARD—Was bro ther of the last witness, and corroborated his testimony. Dorothy Littledale, examined by Mr. TAUNTON—Was the sister of the last two witnesses; whoever drove the beasts away paid the toll; in collecting the tolls folks be haved very civil ; could mention a great many persons from whom she had taken toll; remembered receiving toll from the defendant, whom she well knew; he never dis puted it at that time of day. On cross-examination—The late Sir John Trollope and Mr. Rickett refused to pay toll; knew of no others who refused to pay; the tolls Sir John Trollope and Mr. Rickett refused to pay were for the waggons and carts. Robert hiller, examined by Mr. CHlLTON—Assisted the Collectors of Tolls at Stamford fair. This witness gave evidence to the same effect as several of the preceding witnesses. He had collected tolls, without intermission, for 28 years. By Mr. DENMAN—The boards were stuck up in Stam ford after the refusal of several parties to pay the toll. Benjamin Palmer, examined by Mr. HILLIAnn—Was 76 years of age ; had lived seven miles from Stamford, at King's Cliff, 56 years ; was a drover, and attended Stam ford fair for 50 years ; forty years ago, at the May fair, bought two home-breds, for which he paid 4d. toll; never knew any person refuse to pay toll till within the last year and a half. On cross-examination—Was much too poor to go to law with a rich Corporation. Mr. TAUNTON—Or a rich association, I suppose? John Faulkner, examined by Mr. TAUNTON—Was 82 years of age, and had attended Stamford fair with cattle for 40 years ; had paid toll upon beasts at the May fair ; thz _r paid the toll. Charles Reading, examined by Mr. HILLIARD—The seller always paid the tolls. Several other witnesses were examined, who gave evi dence to the same purport, which, Mr. TAUNTON stated, closed his case. The COMMON SERGEANT rose to address the Jury on behalf of the defendant. He gave full credit to his friend (Mr. Taunton) for having kept his promise of proving a very clear case ; but there had been much skill shown in excluding the case from all collateral circumstances. His Learned Friend had brought only one grant before the Court, and had kept carefully out of sight of the others.— At the time, probably, when this grant took its being, Bd. and 4d, toll might not be unreasonable. Was it not an enormous thing that this Corporation should be allowed to charge Bd. toll for every waggon or cart going in or out of this corporate town? It was clear the grant of this fair by Queen Aune was altogether a new fair. He (the Learned Common Serjeant) was quite sure the Court would tell the Jury that tolls, by law, were not incidental to a fair ; they might be so from a long course of payment. The Queen, in the grant, had dearly conveyed that which never existed ; she had clearly not given the Corporation a jurisdiction over the purses of their neigh- b n ° ec u e r s ' s . ar necessary to Where k g grants were e w m e r w e i t a h g against common 0.4 ['hem clearly fails where a Charter is granted ; 0 01 " thi" the ferred to, and nothing existed. It was necessary O r , r t Corporation of Stamford to show—it was an esseatiliP;ss of their case—that the toll was reasonable, and that i ,b;os fixed at the time of the grant. The grant said r e' about Bd. a score for sheep, or 2d. for beasts; tec el- htt r had been made to the books of the Corporation, vlbli7,ol. tally failed in making out the case of Mr. Tauntons 'co The defendant had a right to call for the title of t l O t 'ioel imposed taxes of this nature to impose such tax; been from usage, that usage must be easy of solution,..fil have a legal origin, which the present Charter did ne t 5h sess. It was not his intention to trouble the Court ' v ki . any evidence. His clients had not seen any of the 1 0 0 :t y co s in tri m et on ey r e i . gl its ,._ it the Corporation had had every advantage in Inak °s their title, and vet they had completely failed. liere Tffee, nothing adduced upon which the Court could givele,f; to the Charter upon which the Corporati on Pt°Z-o;sg Here there was no foundation to rest upon, not r ire been traced from the period of the grant, at all to autiol the Jury to come to the conclusion asked by his Le'' Fri The end. it Loan CITIEF BARON wished to know schethe would not be better to take a special verdict, in od er ," $ bring the point before the Court in the shap e of que'..; of law as to the construction of the Charter ? S 'P f there to be evidence sufficient of the usage in the reee l Po the tolls, would it not revert to the question w hethe r 0 words of the grant authorise the Corporatio n to take 00 tolls? And then the difficulty was, there being n ° , ' specified in the grant, whether the Corporation couluw a reasonable toll ? The Court had no doubt at all construction it would put upon the words of they graat* This was not at all a case of prescription ; the ecle° usage was as strong as possible.

TIIEODORE HUNT, an opulent silk merchant, brother to THOMAS HUNT, who recently left 200,000/. to Guy's Hospital, was on one occasion on a visit to his brother at Petersham. During dinner, he happened to stick his fork into a potato in the dish, when THOMAS broke out into a violent passion, and asked THEODORE if he thought himself in a public-house. The latter was so greatly offended at the application, that he immediately took his departure, and the brothers were never reconciled to each other afterwards. THEODORE died first, and was buried in Bunhill-fields. His property was estimated at 50,0001. The legacy bequeathed to THOMAS was 100/. The latter was deeply disappointed, and in his will ex pressed a wish to be buried at Guy's Hospital, that his re mains might not be deposited near his brother. On Sunday M. DE MARTIGNAC was re ceived at the Castle with particular marks of distinction. The Courtiers anticipate his return to the Ministry; but let M. DR MARTIGNAC beware. His position is delicate, and he will lose all the present advantages of it by the least connivance with the men whom France has for ever repudiated. It is believed that he will put himself on the list of candidates for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. His great talents, and the valuable qualities which we are pleased to recognize in him, justify this pre tension ; but if we cannot succeed except by the support of the extreme right, he would prepare for himself only a shipwreck of his hopes. The lion. M. fovea COLLARD is certainly the man who will unite the majority of votes. Paris Letter. Mr. T. P. COOKE seems to have taken his nautical sketches flOyi.the.l46,#ntl if the following anec dotes which are related of him be true, he seems to have experienced the vicissitudes of a sailor's life, and if he reaped not its advantages whilst in the profession, he has at least turned the knowledge he acquired to good account since he quitted it :—This son of TleEsvis, when a boy of eight years old, in consequence of seeing a nautical spectacle at one of the theatres, imbibed a predilection for the sea, which became very speedily gratified by a friend of his family who commanded a ship taking him out as a cabin-boy. In the year 1'796 he embarked on board his Majesty's ship the Raven, and sailed immediately, via Gibraltar, for the blockade of Toulon. Being ordered to the Mediterranean, lie was with the Earl Sr. VINCENT in the great and distinguished victory which gave the gallant Admiral his title, and partook in many minor actions: the bravery he displayed in boarding an Algerine corsair pro cured him the thanks of his captain, for his coolness and intrepidity. Accident alone prevented him from being present at the battle of Camperdown ; for, having sprung her main-mast in a violent gale, the Raven bore away for Cuxhaven, and, upon the coast adjacent, underwent the horrors of being wrecked in a season of peculiar incle mency. For two days and ni3lits the crew of this ill-fated vessel were subject to incredible misery. The cold was intense; and while clinging to the fragments of the shat tered ship, many brave seamen, wasted with toil, dropped in the chillness of death to a dirk stormy grave. Mr. COOKE contrived, by dint of great exertion, to reach the shore alive, when, being carried to a barn adjacent, he was recovered, and soon after was sent home. The fatigue he underwent during the calamity bad impaired his health, and he became severely afflicted with a rheumatic fever, which, from its long duration, had nearly proved fatal. When recovered he listened to the wishes of his friends, and left the Royal Navy, being at that time rated as a Midshipman. LITERATU F. FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW.—No. IX. This is a remarkably good Number, full of • variety, information, and amusement. If it have any defect, it is that the majority of the articles are a little too long, a little—notwithstanding the useful character of their intelligence—too much spun out. The leading paper, entitled " Bourrienne's Memoirs of Napoleon," is a temperate and impartial analysis of that most entertaining production. Notwithstanding the hacknied nature of the subject, the article is full of novel facts, brought forward and argued upon in a sensible and business-like style. The ob servations upon Bourrienne's account of Bona parte's conduct at the Assembly of Ancients, and that of the Five Hundred, are particularly intelligent, and to the point. This was the great crisis in the Emperor's life, the one in which he hazarded most with the greatest probability of losing all. A word from the President would have destroyed all. That word was not spoken, and he was safe. Nothing, however, could equal his indecision, indeed we might almost say, his personal apprehensions, on this memorable occa sion. He entered the Assembly with the avowed intention of paralysing it, and was himself the only one paralysed in it. Had the Directory possessed one spark of moral influence, Napo leon must have perished on the scaffold. But depraved, imbecile, prejudiced, jealous of their authority, yet without the means of confirming it, they fell an easy prey, even to the clumsy machinations of so great a bungler as Napoleon then, for the first time, proved himself to be. How different was the conduct of Cromwell on a similar emergency ! Cool, wary, intrepid, he struck the decisive blow with the utmost energy of purpose, even though opposed to a House of Commons, which, though de generate, was a thousand times superior, both in moral and intellectual worth to the feeble repub- , lican government of France. But as a states man, Napoleon must certainly be pronounced inferior to Cromwell. " The Present State of Spain " contains many valuable practical remarks on the existing state of that impoverished coun try, than which, according to the Reviewer, nothing can be horse. Manufactures destroyed or annihilated ; agriculture in the lowest pos sible state of depression ; property, whether public or private, precarious and insecure ; reli gion worn as a cloak only to shelter the most shameless venality ; a due administration of the laws unknown ;—nothing can more effectually point out the inevitable results of despotism, than the present anomalous condition of this once prosperous and always fruitful land. In his ac count of the state of crime in Spain, the Reviewer has the following observations : " STATE or Cnxaxg.—Assassinations and highway rob bery are the crimes most complained of. " The administration of justice is extremely slow and uncertain, occasioned by the privilege of appeal on the most trivial grounds, and partly, as many allege, and we believe truly, by the corruption of the judges, who are no- toriously subject to the influences of wealth and power. The consequence is that, in most instances, individuals prefer submitting to an injury rather tha❑ risk a suit. " The system of legislation, with respect to criminal matters, is as bad as possible. A person robbed or as saulted is bOund not only to prosecute, - but, if unsuccest--- ful, to pay all expences; and is, indeed, forced to lodge a sum of money with the alcalde before any steps are taken in the business. In cases of murder and assassination witnesses are afraid to come forward, as it very often hap pens that they are imprisoned, until they establish their innocence. But even when braving all these dangers, in.. diviiluals boldly denounce a crime, there are at least five chances to one that the culprit escapes from prison, or compounds his felony with the judges ; and in that case the accusers have every thing to dread from the vengeance of the criminal. The banditti are numerous and power ful ; not only over-awing those amongst whom they live, but keeping all the petty aleahles in their pay; so that they are enabled to prosecute their murderous career with impunity. Even wken a robber or assassin has been con victed end sentenced, there is no certainty that punish ment will follow. Thus, from execrable laws, still more execrably administered, it is commonly said in Spain, that not one crime out of ten is ever brought before the courts. We believe, indeed, that this proportion is over-rated ; but if we take it at one in three or four, we shall not cer tainly be beyond the mark. " The late chief of a gang of banditti, which kept the south of Spain in terror, is now protector of the diligence from Aranjuez to Seville. We have been told, that the produce of a year's robbery by himself and a numerous party, amounted, all deductions made, to only fourteen dollars. The great expense was incurred in bribing the alcaldes, and inferior officers and soldiers. In the south and east the carriers and muleteers pay a regular contri bution to the banditti who infest their routes; by this means ensuring their own safe passage, as well as that of the goods and passengers entrusted to their care. This contribution costs from two to ten pounds a quarter, ac cording to the number of men and mules employed. These conventions are very rarely broken." " Greek Romance," is an account of most of the old Greek productions of this nature, which is more entertaining than useful. We have a curi ous, but brief, biography of some of the earliest romancers, whose works, however, with the high exception of that incomparable satirist, Lucian, are to be admired rather for their quaint absur dities, than for the richness of their invention, or the sterling qualities of their style. The sun of-the classic Greek literature was low in..the West, ere the small stars of the romancers be_ gan to twinkle in the horizon. " Dialects and Literature of Southern Italy " gives some valu able details on a subject as yet unhacknied. The sketchy anabsis of Meli's Odes (the Anacreon, as he is styled, of Southern Italy) teems with interest. " Pacho's Travels in Marmarica and Cyrenaica " abounds in entertaining details re specting a country " in which "—to use the words of the Reviewer—" the sight of a tree is a phenomenon." " Early Roman History" is elaborately written, and displays an evident anxiety on the part of the learned writer to sift the truth from the falsehood, in a history the early part of which abounds in the most pre posterous fables, many of which, consecrated by the genius of that chivalrous and imaginative annalist Livy—the Walter Scott of the Latin Chronicles—have become time-honoured and arc not to be refuted. " Notice of M. Dumont" is an elegantly penned eulogium on a learned Genevese gentleman, who was for years a dweller in England, enjoying the society of its noblest and most intellectual classes. F rom th e quality . of its panegyric, which is exuberant to profusion, we coiti;.l.l. the popular opinion that has attributed i hip ::;ti!e to the experienced pen of Sir .1. Mlntosh. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER, OR ORNAMENTAL FLOWER CARDEN AND SHRUBBERY, Continuer] by JOHN LINDLF.Y, Esq. Professor of Botany in the Univert , ity of London --- No. 10, Vol. 11. New Series, Coloured Plates. This Number contains Mr. l3entham's very valuable and interesting characters of the genera Labiatx, an article replete w ith information of the greatest importance to the Botanist. From the choice and rich collection of Robert Barclay, Esq. of Bury Hill, is figured a fine specimen of " Fuchsia thymifolio," a native of high land in Mexico. Humboldt observed it near Pazcuaco, at an elevation of about six thousand feet. Although, properly speaking, it is only a half hardy shrub, yet, like most of the other Mexican species of this interesting genus, there is little doubt but it will endure our winters in the open border, with the protection of slight covering. If it be not covered at all, the root should be planted deep in the ground, and as winter ad vances, the mould raised and pressed round the branches so as to exclude the air ; with this pre caution it will be much stronger, and the blos soms larger in the ensuing year. It flowers continually during all the summer months, the blossoms being at first of a purple-greenish rose colour, gradually changing to deep red, so that there are many different hues upon the plant at the. same time. It is propagated readily by cuttings. We pass the two handsome " Pent stemons" as well as the " Microstylis" and " Dendrobium," and two others, in order to notice at greater length the remarks introduced into the description of a figure of " Isopogon formosus," a handsome green-house shrub from the west coast of New Holland, blossoming in July, and propagated by ripened cuttings, struck under a bell-glass. " This plant," says the Pro fessor Lindley, " the most beautiful of its genus, is said to have been introduced so long since as the year 1805 to the Kew Garden. As f►r, however, as the public is concerned, the date of its introduction may be more properly fixed in 1824, when it was raised by Mr. Mackay, from seeds collected in the neighbourhood of Lucky Bay, by Mr. Baxter, on his first visit to the coast of New Holland. It is right, that in all questions about the period at which plant s have been introduced, this distinction should be borne in mind, and that the world should be aware that the introduction of a plant to his ajesty's garden at Kew is a very different affair from its introduction to Great Britain. An object cannot be properly said to be introduced from one country to another, unless it is after wards disseminated by such means as the intro ducer possesses ; a practice which is adopted in every establishment in the world, save in that one which ought to set an example to all others."

Nottingham, Nov. 21, 1829. (No. 3.) SUMMARY OF THE NATIONAL ADVANTAGES TO BE DERIVED FROM RAILWAYS, VIEWED IN COMPARI- SON WITH TILE THREE-FOLD SYSTEM OF CONVEY- ANCE BY TURNPIKE-ROADS, CANALS, AND COAST- ING VESSELS. To the EDITOR of the NOTTINGHANI REVIEW. SlR,—The capital required for railways will be much less than that required for canals, whilst the former would attract the revenue of all our present systems of conveyance, on account of the superior economy and speed which railways would daily afford to every branch of our internal commerce. The rapid returns on the less outlay of capital cannot fail to excite the attention of persons inte rested in turnpike-roads, canals, and coasting ves sels, who might participate in this measure in com mon with the rest of society; for no injury could arise to canals, &c. until railways shall yield a much more abundant return for the capital invested in them. Whatever can be saved to the public by the introduction of any superior method of internal communication, must be deserving of universal con sideration ; but as no national view has yet been taken of this measure, the general interests of the people are overlooked, or sacrificed to inferior systems. The annual expense incurred by turnpike-roads and canals exceeds the whole amount required for the construction of a general iron railway. The capital sunk in horses is buried with the carcases of these animals every four or five years. The annual expense of the repairs of roads is enormous; and the turnpike-roads of this country are already burdened with an accumulating debt of seven millions. One locomotive steam-engine, which would re main in efficient operation for a number of years, will daily perform the work of several hundred horses ; the original construction of a railway is much less expensive than a canal—its annual repairs less than those of the common road, although the traffic upon the railway should be ten times that upon roads and canals. The locomotive engine would effect as much every day upon a railway, as four canal-boats carrying 30 tons each, or as one boat in four days ; a boat is delayed five minutes at each canal lock ; a railway has no such impediment, nor can it be effected by frost, drought, or flood. The annual work done upon canals will fall short of twelve hours each day, the railway would admit of coaches, caravans, and waggons, working day and night the year through. The intolerable delay attending the conveyance of goods by coasting vessels, the time lost in waiting for tides and fair winds, the melancholy wrecks on all our coasts every winter, the expense of insurance, risk of capture in dine of war, all tend to render our present system of commercial intercourse oppressive and ruinous. By a railway every commercial transaction throughout Great Britain and Ireland, would be promoted by the greatest economy and facility; all merchandise of whatever description, which is now forwarded coastwa y s, and all the Irish trade to Lon don W sent round the Land's-End, would be for warded at one-half the expense and in one-half the time, without encountering risk of damage from sea, or capture by an enemy in time of war ; hence all insurance and the vexatious lawsuits attendant thereon, might be saved on every commercial transac tion wiihin Great Britain and Ireland. Notwith standing the boasted speed with which steam packets make the passage from London to Scotland, it would be found, if we reckon the time required for the extremely circuitous course by sea, that the journey by railway would be performed in one-half the time. A steam-packet carries two engines of immense powo.r, whereas the passengers and merchandise it conveys might, be transported on railways by one locomotive steam-engine of much less power. The coal and corn trades form the most import ant feature of our internal commerce, and the ad vantages which these would derive from the intro duction of railways are incalculable. The coal an nually consumed in London alone amounts nearly to two million chaldrons, and there can he no doubt that were this article considerably reduced in price in the capital, that the consumption thereof would soon reach double this quantity. The collier avers ages, perhaps a voyage in each month, and returns from London in ballast. The locomotive engine would impel a gang of coal waggon, carrying the full freight of a collier, from Newcastle to London in three days, and return with the waggons loaded for the different districts through which the railway might pass, making the whole journey from New castle to London and back again in one week, yielding annually the profits of fifty-two journies in lieu of twelve voyages. The voyage by sea in about 500 miles, by the railway the distance wili be reduced nearly to 200 miles. By the establishment of a grand trunk railway from London to Edinburgh, every branch of trade would be greatly improved; the distance between these two capitals is about 400 miles, and supposing that each mile of railway should cost 12,000/., this undertaking would require a capital of 4,800,000/., and in order to show the immense benefit to be de rived annually from it, let us calculate the probable revenue at the lowest estimate. Coal from Newcastle, 2,000,000 cbahlrons at ss. .Manufactures from Scotland, Lanca'hire, and Yorkshire, cattle, corn, glass, lead, iron, stone, fish, vegetables, &C. &c.. Colonial produce from the East Indi.i r West 500,000 500,000 500,000 India, and London Ducks, hops, porter, manures, &c. &c Conveyance of passengers on the whole line, in each direction, parcels, and correspond ence £1,700,000 When we contemplate the millions of tons of merchandise which would annually circulate in each direction along this grand trunk (as it will of course be intersected by branch railways, so as to connect it with all populous districts), it is more than pro bable that the revenue would be double or equal to 50 per cent. on the outlay of capital. But the manifold benefits which this measure would throw open to the general commerce of London, and throughout the interior of the country, can oidy be justly appreciated when they become universally known and understood. The recent attempts made to run steam car riages on the common turnpike roads, have not only proved unsuccessful, but altogether impracticable; and had the most sanguine expectations of the pro- jectors of them been realized, still time would have proved that mechanical power will always produce ten times the effect on railways. I am, &c. THOMAS GRAY. Nottingham, May 27, 182 S. (No. 4.) THE LONDON COAL TRADE. The skill and science of this enlightened age will appear rather questionable, when we see what the poor inhabitants of the capital pay for every neces sary and convenience of life, and nothing shews more plainly the total disregard to economy, than the cir cuitous routes adopted for supplying the metropolis with lady food ; it draws its supply of coal also from a distance of four or five hundred miles, rather than encourage the mines within one hundred ! ! The congregated mass of individuals in the capital, aided by the designing members of their corporation, suppose that coal is necessarily dearer in the metro polis than in other large cities; whereas the very reverse would be the case, were honesty and troth allowed their proper share of influence, in the direc tion of those who superintend the administration of municipal affairs, for then every encouragement would be given to free competition in every trade, and coal would be sold in London at one half the present price.—l am aware the corporation are op posed to this scheme merely from corrupt princi ples; yet, this is the corporation who press forward for reform in Parliament, and for the abolition of slavery ! ! 1 hope the citizens of London may see the pro priety of supporting this measure ; the price of coal in the capital has always been a great curse upon its poor inhabitants, and now that the times present a favourable opportunity for supplying them at one-half the expense, surely those individuals, who have so frequently subscribed their names to public charities, will not now belie those acts of benevolence, by withholding their influence in sup port of a measure of permanent benefit, not only to the poor, but to the whole population of our vast metropolis. What strange anomalies in our civil government—societies for the encouragement of arts and sciences, of commerce and agriculture; yet, how few individuals, who propose or project useful improvements or inventions, meet with assistance or encouragement Charitable institutions for the relief of the poor, at a time when the most cruel exactions, of ten times the amount of all our Christian charities, are wrung out of the necessities of these very objects of charity !! I am also perfectly aware that the opponents of this measure will advance the old humdrum com plaint, that our nursery for seamen would be se riously injured by this novel scheme, but, in or der not to waste more time than the subject de serves, let it suffice to remark, that these sticklers for the good old times will find, that in propor tion as we improve our internal communication, we also improve every branch both of our home and foreign trade : surely our trade to the East and West Indies, North and • South America, our trade in Europe, and our fisheries both at home and abroad, afford a pretty extensive nursery for our seamen, without being in the least apprehen. sive of any injurious consequences, which may be predicted, from a discontinuance of sending coal coastways; the very limited number of hands em ployed on board our colliers, would afford but trilling augmentation to our fleets, in case of war, if we deduct the number of those who claim exemption from the King's service, such as captains, appren tices, and carpenters. The truth of the whole mat ter lies in little compass—none but those, whose particular interests might be affected, and those who have fattened out of the old system, would sound the trumpet of allirm ; the public may now, how ever, pay them off in their own coin, by supporting its own interest, just in the same manner as those kind friends who feel such a deep interest in the nursery for our seamen !—The proprietors of coal mines in the north, would be enabled to carry 04 their business without that abominable waste of capital now sunk in shipping ; for although it may, ultimately, be returned to them, through the 160: price of coal in London, still this individual capital would not be required, as the expellee of coal wag gons, in lieu of shipping, would be comparatively trifling. The opening of the London market to all the inland collieries, may form a serious °lnjection in the minds of those gentlemen, bi 4 the convey ance by rail-roads would th;,o,w ppea th e t ra d e 0169 interior towns thy northern colli er i e s ; an d a il r Ya proprietors equal rightof moreto the remote Londoncol trade,. proprietors of coal mines, in the midl a nd count i es , have ipost with a s souloVe , lieries ! The proprietors of the northern collieries ~~il, however, find their opposition of no n‘4il.-.—Do they suppose that their selfish arguments can weigh a feather agains; tile overwhelming influence of the inhalAitants of the metropolis, and of all towns In the south of England ? Will they dare to erect their puny heads against such a phalanx ? In this en. lightened age, will the millions of consumers of coal, corn, and all the necessaries of life, suLnit to the dictates of a few arbitrary monopolists of the coal trade ? No, indeed, all the hired sophistry which they may advance will soon be brushed away, it is • nothing but the indifference, or the ignorance of the public respecting this glad, which prevents the mea sure from making greater progress ; let the inhabi tants of London only once get a proper insight, and thorough knowledge of this scheme, and then all opposition will not only soon be frustrate], but our enemies will be borne down by the torrent of natio nal: conviction.—Setting aside the coal trivie alto gether ; the interest of the inhabitants of popu lous districts throughout the country, and the impor tance of their daily intercourse with the metropolis, will be found sufficiently formidable to arrest the selfish interference of any compact of corporate bodies, or of any companies whatsoever, and to con vince them of their own insignificance, when weighed in the scales of national justice. THOMAS GRAY. Nottingham, Sept. 5, 1828. (No. 5.) ON LOCOMOTIVE STEAM-ENGINES AND INCLINED PLANES. After the many years of experience, and the daily proofs of the wonderful power of the steam engine, which gives motion to the whole machinery in every room of a manufactory, and the certainty, speed, and safety with which steam-vessels navigate the sea, the man who can now hesitate to recom mend the general application of the same power, in lieu of horses, to our inland conveyance, must be pitied for his ignorance or despised for his obstinacy. Moreover, after the demonstration of the utility of the locomotive steam-engine on land, daily proved by Blenkinsop, ever since the year 1811, it will re quire more than human ingenuity to form an apo logy or explanation, how and where the eminent engineers of London have been exhibiting their skill. For the conveyance of merchandize it will, eventually, be found that no system presents the economy and facility of transport as that of Mr. Blen kinsop, in this opinion I am even supporte.l by the remarks of those very persons who profess to advo cate the system of working the locomotive steam engine solely by friction. Railways might be so constructed that vehicles heavily laden should be impelled by the adhesion of the wheels of the loco motive engine to the rails, and also by the power of its traction upon the cog-rail. Vehicles of lighter burden might be impelled by friction; for instance, mail and stage coaches, carrying comparatively little weight, and requiring great speed, might all be im pelled by means of the adhesion to the rail, without having recourse to the cog-rail. By the additional aid of the cog-rail, the whole power of the loco— motive engine may be most effectually and most eco nomically employed ; whereas on working the en gine solely by friction, we can only calculate upon a power in proportion to the weight of the engine, and should the loaded waggons attached to the lo • comotive engine exceed the proportionate di aught of the engine working by friction or tuilie ion, tile wheel thereof would revolve without advancing; the friction or adhesion of the wheel to the rail va ries with the weather, and, in a country like this, nothing can be more variable. By meats of the cog-rail, one locomotive engine would effect as much or more than two engines impelled solely by the ad hesion of the wheels to the rail, but in order to form a correct estimate of the true economy of the cog-rail, it will be necessary to ascertain the amount of annual tonnage on any given line of rail-wad of considerable extent, and by making an expel iment with the cog-rail, it will be found how mach more may be accomplished by one locomotive engine work ing on this principle, than by several whose opera tion shall be confined to friction or adhesion. As the transport or conveyance of merchandizc, cattle, and live stock of every kind, will be found:of infi nitely more importance in a national point of view, than the conveyance of passengers or correspondence, it cannot be supposed that these considerations will be overlooked whenever this scheme shall arrest public attention. fear lest the public should be persuaded to follow the plans adopted in the collieries, by having recourse to inclined planes, stationary steam-engines, or the reciprocating steam-engine, all which may be useful in small private concerns, or %%mre the coal trade is the only business carried on; but ; on rail-ways for national purposes, they should b e avoided as much as possible for this plain reason the multiplicity of machinery—the consequent ex pense attending the annual waste of capital, and the accidents which would unavoidably occur from their general adoption on public lines of read, are quite sufficient to arrest the attention of companies, in order to consider well before they commence laying down the rails. As there appears, however, a disposition to esta blish inclined planes, with stationary steam•engin es , rather than incur the expense of levelling the whole road in a direct line, it becomes my duty to offer a few more remarks in opposition to this course, which would multiply the number of steam•engines in ura excessive degree. It is my humble opinion that: the number of engines likely to be required an thr2 inclined planes, would, if converted int's loc;onroOve engines, very shortly defray the expense of levelling the whole line of road in every direction. Thu question is not, what a stationary engine r.,ay do as an auxiliary, but how much more effeet,'.ve the power when employed as a locomotive engine ? Moreover, the number of stationary engines required, should in dined planes be resorted to, would, if converted into locomotive engines, be sadlicienr for the com merce of the country. There will be other and more serious objections to inclined plarL's, besides those which present them selves on the first opening of these new communi cations between town and town ; for, as the system becomes general, it will be found that the derange ment of any of the multifarious machinery belong ing to stationary steam engines (which will occur at times, in the same manner as in all works of a similar nature) would have the consequence of ex tending its effect throughout the whole line of communication with which they may be connected, As far as the transport of merchandize may be im- pedcd, the evil would only be the same as is now commonly suffered from canals, but when the con veyance of passengers or correspondence shall be taken into consideration, the ollieetions to inclined planes became strong, if not insuperable. A multiplicity of machinery is the great ev't to be avoided, and experience teaches us that OK ; daily e xpense may 'no diminished in proportiott as out power is simplified and concentrated. Why should we study mathemr.cics or mechanics, unless the demonstrations they unfold be practically applied to our internal resources ; the knowledge of these branches of science is not worth the applica-. tion merely as an uevirement or pastime; the vul ture of the mind, like that of the earth, can only be attested by a plentiful production.

PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Bishop of Ferns and Lord Mounteashel are at it still. We had not room for the last letter of the Noble Earl, nor can we find any for that of his Right Reverend and Learned anta gonist. The fact is, that it was a good thing to (Ten such a controversy, for the sake of drawing Loth public and legislative attention to a most important subject ; but that it might have been NI ell, likewie, to discontinue it before the minds of men had been wearied into an utter distaste toward the name of Church abuses. The Bishop's present epistle is sharp and peremptory—a little sore, perhaps, on some points,—logical in its forms of argument, however loose here and there . in the substance,—violent, as before, against the petitioners of 1628,—coutemptuous towards the good but somewhat feeble Archbishop Abbott, —passing cautiously over the question of Laud's " prudence," but confident in the Protestantism of that harsh, overbearing, and offensive prelate, — dexterous in supposing cases where unions "may" be defensible,—and furiously indignant at the notion of Clergymen paying " first fruits" to the fail value of the benefice, which his Lordship characteristically enough denominates " a most absurd impost ;"—these, with an:allusion to, but no explanation of, the fact of his Lordship run ning his life against two leases under the see of Ferns, a topic, the mention of which by Lord I'dounteashel seems greatly to have irritated the Right Rev. Lord, form the most conspicuous points of a letter containing several newspaper columns.— Times. At a meeting of the Society for the Improve ment of Iceland, lately held in Dublin, the Sub etting Act became the subject of discussion. 1 . - Olr. O'Connell urged strongly the revision of thia Act, and it seemed to be agreed on all hands that it required amendment. Lord Clon curry on this occasion entered into some details, which are instructive as to the peculiarities in the social state of Ireland:— " They should auggest (he observed) to the Le gislature such amendments as would make the Act unobjectionable. The causes which produced the Act might he shortly stated. It often happened that the landlords let out tracts of land to per sons for whom they entertained a regard, on spe cified terms—he would suppose 1/. per acre; and it generally occurred that a condition was inserted in the lease, prohibiting the tenant from allocating or sub-letting the land The rapid increase of po pulation, the almost total absence of manufactures, limiting employment to agriculture, rendered land the only object of speculation for industry ; and the tenant, yielding to the increasing demand, sub-let at 21., 5/., or 101., as the case may be, the land for which he himself paid but one. Here there was an evident breach of contract, and the question was brought before the Courts in Dublin, or at the Assizes. The juries, probably tenants them selves, and the Judges, many of them sprung from a mongst the middlemen, decided in favour of leases for land so let in breach of the original con tract, signed by both parties with their eye' open, because the receipt of one year's rent by the land lord was a waiver of his covenant to prevent sub letting. But this was not the only evil. A greater hardship was, that the head landlord, failing in ob taining his rent from the middleman, resorted to the land, and drove and canted the wretched occupants, who were thus obli g ed again to pay the rent which they had already paid to the m iddleman.—(lleac.) —These were g reat evils—and if the Act, which he had with h i m were ''deliberataly discussed, it would be found that nine-tenths of its provisions were good, and that no thing but breaches of contract had rendered it neces sary. It might, as he before said, be considered ungracious for him to defend this Act ; but he prided himself upon being one of the people, warmly at tached to their interests, and he had never, in any instance, acted under the Sub-letting Act, nor should he ever du ,so.—(Cries of hear.) —Upwards of 40 years ego his father had let a conaiderable portion of his estate hi tlma county of Limerick, in farms of 200 or :3.'00 acres, at one pound an acre, with a con dition in the lease against sttb-letting, under a penalty of doubling the rent. When he (Lord C.) came into possession those leases were nearly expired; and when he went down to the estate, he found the farms of 200 acres inhabited by from 40 to 100 persons. This was a great injury to the property ; but, nevertheless, he was determined not to act with harshness or inhumanity. It was his right, as the leases were expired, to turn off the tenantry, but he did not do so; he made them leases at a consider ably reduced rent from what they paid the middle may, who, as the original breaker of the contract, was got rid of. From that time he received his rents regularly; and when the county of Limerick was in ,tote of disturbance, that particular district was pet fectly tranquil." If the Sub-letting Act could put a stop to the practice, so prevalent in Ireland, of sub letting lend at a protit rent, it would unquestion ably be paoduetive of great benefit. nut under the circumstances gated by Lord Cloneurry, of a constantly increasing demand for land to meet the wants of a rapidly increasing population, wholly dependent on agriculture, It will always be d inlet:it to carry the law into execution. It is, no doubt, extremely hard on Lord Cloneurry, on any other landlord, who lets a farm of 200 or 300 acres to one person, at one pound an acre, with a condition in the lease against sub letting, under a penalty of doubling the rent, to find the farm, notwithstanding such covenant, inhabited by' a hundred persons, paying a high p:ofit rent to a middleman. But where, from the constantly increasing demand for land s it can always be let at a profit rent, so long as thie state of things continues, ways and means will be found to evade the law. At the same time it is but fair to admit that it ifs .difficult to conceive so general a complaint would be wade against the Sub-letting Act, were there not strong apprehensions entertained of its operation. 'The cause of the necessity for the Sub-letting, Act is the rapidly increasing population, which irn• eicaaes the demand for land, and enables the te nant to sub-let at a profit rent. Why is it that in England the tenant cannot sub-let at a profit lent ? If au English tenant could, by sub letting the land for which he pays 11., obtLi St., 51., or 101. the acre, there can be no ques tion that he would imitate the Irish middleman, for who would not prefer a large profit rent, without outlay or trouble, to the being hiss; ell a cultivator, subject to all the casualties of farm ing ? But the Englishman who obtains a lease of land cannot sub-let it at a profit rent. The. increase of rural population, eo far from making itself be felt in an increase of rent, by increasing the poor's rates lowers the rent, and furnishes a constant motive fur throw ing down buildings and uniting farms, rather than parcelling them out. Were it not for the poor's rates, an increasing population would pro duce precisely the same effects in England which it does in Ireland. But the competition for lend as a condition of existence is here prevented by the poor laws ; and the small tenant, cultivating under great disadvantages compared with the tenant of capital, is less liable to bear the burdens on the land ; so that so far from small tenants being able to pay a profit rent, the tendency, as we have said, is the other way, to consolidate rather than divide. The introduc tion of Poor Laws into Ireland will, no doubt, open a door to considerable abuses ; but it is with this as with everything else, and we must decide for the course which, upon the whole, promises to be productive of the least evil. Jobbing is to be expected. But the burden on land increasing with the wants of the population, the system of sub-letting at a profit rent will be knocked on the head ; and when a landlord lets a farm at a fair rent, he will have the satisfaCtion of being assured that if the tenant do not culti vate it himself, be cannot derive benefit from it covering with a redundant population. Rents will unquestionably be lowered, if we take the rents now paid in Ireland by the actual cultiva tor as a point of comparison ; but the deduc• tion will be principally from the share of the middleman.—Morning Chronicle. Some acquittals yesterday, at the Old Bai!cy, will excite considerable attention. On the trial of Jeremiah Reading, for having in his posses sion a mould for making counterfeit Mr. C. Phillips endeavoured to show by his cross-examination of the witnesses, that the mould was so imperfect that shillings made from it could not impose upon the generality of per sons—a circumstance required by the Act to make good a charge against any one. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. Mary Fitzgerald and Catharine Connolly were next tried for a similar offence. The Judge (Baron Vaughan), in summing up, read a considerable portion of the Statute under which the indictment was framed, from which it appeared that the knowingly possessing a mould sufficient to make a coun terfeit that would pass current with the ge nerality of the public as good was enough to support a conviction. Again a verdict of Not Guilty was returned. It had been the intention of Mr. Scarlett, who con- lucted the cases for the Crown, to proceed on another indictment against one of the prisoners ; but after these acquittals, Judge and Counsel were both at sea, and a curious parley took place with the Jury. Mr. Baron Vaughan wished to discover what was the difficulty which weighed with the Jury, and led to the acquittals —whether they were not satisfied with the good ness of the resemblance, or did not think that the evidence was defective as to the mould being in the possession of the prisoners. It certainly, he observed, appeared to him to be sufficient that the mould should bear a general impression and similitude to the lawful coin of the realm, without being perfect in all its parts. It ap peared fro►n the dialogue that the Jury were not altogether satisfied with the evidence in the se cond case, as the prisoners were not locked in, and they looked with some suspicion on the landlady, as the prisoners did not make any stir till she spoke to them in Irish. However, the part that seemed to weigh most with them in both cases, was the imperfection of the moulds. Before leaving the box, they said they wished to acquaint their Lordships that the reason of their acquitting the first prisoner tried was, that the mould found in his possession was so imperfect, that no person using ordinary caution could be deceived by shillings made in it. Mr. Scarlett felt indignant at the acquittals, and did not proceed with a third indictment, ob serving that it was impossible to produce stronger evidence. It is certainly usual for persons em ployed in any unlawful occupation, to take the precaution of securing the door ; but though the circumstance of a door being secured, and instruments for coining being discovered on its being broken open, leave little doubt of the guilt of the parties found in the room, it does not fol low that when persons are discovered coining, though the door have not been fastened, the evi dence of the senses is to be distrusted. IfJu ries were to follow the example set yesterday at the Old Bailey, there would be no occasion for fastening a door, when the very circumstance of its being found open would alone insure an ac quittal. The security would b e no t i n th e fas tening the door, but in the leaving it unfastened. If a man were seen cutting another's throat, the fact could not be got over by the circumstance of his having neglected to secure a door. It is only where there is a doubt that such cir cumstances as those alluded to become of im portance. For instance, a young man was on Saturday tried for a rape, alleged to have been committed in a path leading to a church, and within a few yards of it when the afternoon bell was ringing. If the cries of the young woman had been heard, and people had flown to her rescue, the audacity of the youth would not in the face of the clear evidence been taken as proof of innocence ; but, in defect of good evi dence, the nature of the place was deemed a presumption of innocence. As to the point which led to the acquittal—the imperfection of the mould--it is very favourable, no doubt, to prisoners, as it loaves them time to obtain dex terity in their trade, and only makes them re sponsible when it begins to be lucrative. The Jury thought, and from the wording of the Act, it would seem that Parliament also thought, that being a bungler in any trade is alone a sufficient punishment, and that it is hard a man should suffer for a trade at which he makes little or nothing. Upon the same principle, a pickpocket who goes so awkwardly to work that you feel his hand in your pocket, ought to be acquitted ; and a burglar, who alarms by his indiscreet no;ac a whole neighbourhood, who secures him, ought to escape punishinent.—/bid. We have more than once adverted to the se rious evils, as well as the enormous expense, of what are called Local Acts of Parliament, the greater nunlider of which are a disgrace to the Legislature, which on these occasions too of:en lends its high name and sanction to measures of which it is wholly ignorant, but which are con cocted by persons who have a profitable interest in multiplying word; and confounding know ledge. No sooner is an Act of Parliament of this sort passed than its clauses are found to or every construction but the right one, A new law is thanefore called for " to explain and amend" the former, t 4 a the no small gain and gratification of " the craft," who thus prosper by fies.ir own fraud or imbecility. Fhere is no pow tion of thei leublic so afflicted with visitations of this disease as tho parishes in and about the metropolis. It is this tnhat for local legis lation tinder which Select Vestries, alai their whole train 0f despotism and abuses, have grown up and prospered ; anti it is only by putting an end to it, and placing parochial low under one pane statutory head, that the people can ever pee ped t o res ume that fair participation in the ma nagement of their own affairs which is now almost entirely usurped by these little jobbing ankl contemptible juntas. We are g lad to see that the inhaiiiiants of Lambeth, at their recent Inea ing, feel as we do on this important subject, and hava determined to wait, ni c;pectation of a general measure, in preference to undergoing the infliction of another Local Act, the inefficient one of last year having cost them, it is stated, no less a sum than 1,0401. We trust that some active, ho nest, and intelligent Member of the House of and that Commons will respond to this appeal) such a measure will be presented to and passed by the Legislature as will at once put an end to the discreditable anomaly of seeing one side of a street governed by one law, and the neighbours on the opposite by another. Among other evils which, we trust, such a general law will be so constructed as to cure, is one likewise very sen sibly pointed out at the Lambeth Meeting—we mean the exempting small tenements from paro chial rates, or allowing the owners to compound for them upon terms different from those paid by persons living in larger houses. Perhaps there are few more lucrative properties to the owners than houses of the former description. There are many obscure courts and alleys in the Me tropolis bringing in much surer rentals than the adjoining and more respectable streets. And when it ►s considered that it is through the means of these, and the high rents exacted from the weekly tenants, that so much of the paro chial burden is created, it is most unjust and absurd that the owners of this kind of property hould be exempted from contributing their full proportion to the claims which they are so much the cause of creating. Relief to all classes where it can be given, and a proportionate equalization of the burdens that must be borne, is a principle which the Legislature cannot neglect to enforce without being chargeable with the grossest par tiality, ignorance, or incapacity.—Morn. Her. MURDERS IN FRANCE. At the Assize Court of the department of the Ain, held at Bourg on the 20th and 21st of Novem ber last, a singular trial for parricide took place. A lady, moving in the highest circles of French society, rich, beautiful, and accomplished, was acccused of having poisoned her father about seven years ago, when he was only four-and-twenty years of age. The motive assigned for the commission of this atro cious crime was a fear that she entertained of being disinherited by her father for having formed a mar riage with a family which he disliked, and also an apprehension that he was going to marry a woman with whom he had long had a liaison. As the lady did not appear to plead to the charge, she was tried per• contunmee, and the following circumstances were proved against her on her trial, which takes up no less that► six columns of the Gazette des Tribunaux. Bouvier Selazard had acquired a large fortune by acting as an evoue or attorney at Bourg. lie had an only daughter, Josephine, who, in the beginning of September, 1822, married the Sieur A—, n man of rank in that town. Josephine and her husband resided at her father's house at Longchamps. about two miles from Bourg, and it was proved, that on the 7th of September, 1822, she had gone with her husband from Longchamps to Bourg, for the purpose of buying arsenic, as she said, to poison rats. On her return she persuaded her father to issue curds of invitation for a large dinner party on the 16th of September, having previously fixed that day for the day of his death. On the evening before it, she ordered her father's cook, Marie Clare, to prepare some boiled milk and bread for her father's breakfast the next morning. This order was executed,andat eight o'clock she took part of the boiled milk herself, and ordered the rest to be get aside for her father in the pantry. About an hour afterwards the cook found her in the pantry, with a paper in her hands, but took no particular notice of it at the time. At ten o'clock, Bouvier, the father, who was then in excel lent health, called for his breakfast. The cook, be fore sending the boiled milk to her toaster, skimmed off the cream or crust which had formed on the top of it, and suspecting no harm, swallowed a part of it. In a short time she was seized with violent cholic and sickness, a circumstance which, she swore, was noticed by Josephine at the time, who asked her whether she had been tasting her father's breakfast. This question struck the cook as very extraordinary, especially when she learned that her master was seized after breakfast in exactly the same manner. His sickness was, however, far more vio lent than her's, and became every hour more and more aggravated. Notwithstanding, this double ac cident, no steps were taken by Josephine to post pone the dinner party, although her father had be come so ill by the afternoon as to make it necessary to call in a physician. it was proved that Jose• phine would not allow any of the prescriptions or dered by the physician to be taken by her father; and that a nurse, who had often attended the family, tied received a good scolding from her because she had administered a large quantity of milk to him, in the hopes that it would allay his suffer trigs, as it had already allayed those of his cook, Marie. Another suspicious circumstance was also proved against Josephine. The physician desired ther e in case Bouvier did not get better during the night, he should be made acquainted with the f ac t early the next morning. It appeared that though Bouvier had passed the night in the greatest agonies, Ills daughter did not send for the physician till after twelve o'clock in the day; so that he did not artive at Longchamps from Bourg till the afternoon. At that time Bouvier was beyond the aid of medicine. Sit tly afterwards he became delirous, and at ten o'clock at night died, after strong convulsions, in horrible torment. It was remarked at the time its something stiange that Josephine returned with the physician to Bourg, instead of remaining at Long champs to close the eyes of her expiring father; and it now appears that she went to Bourg for the sake of ransacking her father's coffers, and gaining possession of his will and his other papers. During her absence the nurse, who had to superintend her father's funeral, observed wails of such a nature on his breast and neck as excited her suspicions that be had not been fairly dealt with, tied, - in consequence, she suspended the prepara tions for his funeral two or three times, and was pre vented with difficulty from declaring her suspicions to the police. In spite of all the precautions which were taken by Josephine and her family, a rumour got abroad that her father had been poisoned, and latterly gained such prevalence that the body was taken up and examined, after it had been deposited seven years in the ground. " Strange to relate," says the French journalist, " corruption and time had both spared the stomach of the deceased." Ir was examined by several experienced chymists, who. discovered arsenic in it ; but in very small quan tities. The cook, Marie, was then examined; and iii consequence of a quarrel which had taken place between her mistress and herself, was induced to make the following disclosures. She said that a few days after the death of Bouvier, she had a long con versation with her mistress, in which she told her that she was well aware of every thing which she had done. Her mistress, she said, promised in reply to recompense her largely for all she had suffered, provided that she said nothing of what she had seen, and as a proof that she was in earnest gave her two bills, one for 4,000 francs, the other for 2,000 francs, payeble with interest at nine or ten years after date. I I As her master had left her a legacy of 4,000 francs, payable without interest nye year:: after his death, it was stipulated that she should not give up her claim to her legacy on account of these two bills, but that she should receive them simply as the price of her continued silence. At the end of six years Jose phine conceived herself out of danger, and refused to pay Marie her legacy of 4,000 francs. The latter, in revenge, gave such information to the public, as brought the matter under the notice of the tribunals. As soon as the Cour Royale had determined to put Josephine upon her trial, she lost all her former con fidence,and fled out of the jurisdiction of the French courts. She was accordingly tried par conlumace, On the acte 4.'accusation being offered to the Court. M. DE GUERIzE, on behalf of the accused and her children, moved that the trial be postponed for six months, on the ground that a far trial could not then be had, on account of the prejudice which prevailed against her character in the public mind. After taking several legal and technical objections to the indict ment, he contended that there was no corpus (Mica in the ease for that experienced chymists at Lyons, Montpellier, and Paris declared that what the che mists of Bourg had found in the stomach of Bouvier, was only phosphate, and not arsenic. He likewise pledged himself, that if his motion for postponement were graHted, his client would come forward at the expiration of the time for which he asked, to meet her trial in person, asaerting that her only reason for not taking it at present was her dread lest she should be sacrificed for a crime which she had not commit ted, like the unfortunate families of Calas and Servin. The PROCUREUR DU Rot opposed the motion, on the ground that it was not credible that the accused would come forward to stand a public trial, as she had sold all the property of every description which she had at Bourg, on first hearing of the accusation which had been brought against her. The Court refused the motio►► of M. de Guerre. The next day the trial recommenced, and after exa mining different witnesses, the Court declared Jose phine Bouvier, wife of the Sieur d'A—, guilty of poisoning her father, condemned her, par contumace to death, and ordered her " to be conducted to the place of execution en chemise, with naked feet, and with her head covered with a black veil—to be ex posed upon the scaffold whilst an officer shall read the sentence to the people—to have her tight hand cut off, and then to be immediately executed." SURREY SESSIONS, DEC. 7. This day these Sessions commenced. The grand and traverse Juries having been sworn, the CHAIR MAN addressed them, and congratulated them upon the lightness of the calendar. There were only three cases that would occupy much of their time ; two were cases of swindling, in which prosecution no less than sixteen indictments would be presented to them : the other was a charge of rape. Edward Berry, a young man of respectable ap pearance, was indicted for stealing, on the 24th of November, a plated milk-jug, two brass cocks, and other articles, the property of John Goose, Esq. John Goose, the prosecutor, about three months ago let a cottage, ready furnished, to a person who represented himself to be Captain Foster. The cot tage is at Croydon, and he let it for the hunting :season. Captain Foster and his friends came down on 6th of September, took possession, and remained there several weeks, but suddenly he departed. Witness then took possession of his cottage. Shortly after Captain Foster and his friends again returned to the cottage and took forcible possession, and among the party was the prisoner at the bar. After they had so obtained possession, Captain Foster left the charge of the cottagelto the prisoner, the Captain returning to London. The witness not hearing any thing of Captain Foster, set about inquiring after him, and discovered him in custody in Tothill-fields prison on a charge of felony about some furniture. While the prisoner was in charge of the house, he missed several articles, and amongst them those set forth in the indicttnent;and which, on being pro• duced, he immediately identified ; the prisoner was seen with the property in a basket, which he was carrying away ; but on seeitig witness's servant, he put them down and hastily returned to the cottage, and locked himself in : an officer was sent for, and the prisoner taken into custody.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-HERTFORD, DEC. 7. The Commission for holding a Special Gaol-de livery for Hertfordshire was this morning opened by Mr. Baron GArtnow and Mr. Baron HOLLAND, the latter Learned Judge going the circuit for the first time since his appointment to the Bench. Their Lordships having attended divine service at the church, Mr. Baron GARROW charged the Grand Jury. The calendar contains the names of .54 prisoners. The offences for which they stand charged consist of manslaughter, arson, housebreaking, receiving stolen goods, horse and sheep-stealing, and nume rous petty larcenies. One of the prisoners is de tained for trial at the Surrey Assizes, charged with a burglary at Mr. Warrington's, West Moulsey. Charles Little, a shoemaker, of Hertford, was in dicted for receiving four sacks of flour, knowing the same to have been stolen. After hearing the facts of the case, Mr. Rarell BoLLAND directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, there not being sufficient evidence to make out a case against him. Joseph Winter, aged 30, and Be7?jarnin Winter, aged 28, were found guilty of stealing a sheep, the property of Mr. W. Kimpton, a farmer, at \Vatton, Herts. THE CIIESIIUNT ROBBERY. Henry Dodman Wood, aged 22, stood capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house, a quan tity of plate, value 601., the property of George Rougemont, Esq., of Berry-green, Cheshunt. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his service in the capacity of footman for about ten days. Ile had the care of the plate, which prosecutor had instructed him to carry nightly to his chamber. On the sth of October the prisoner absconded, and the articles named in the indict. ment were shortly after missed. Cross•examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner is the son of a Lieutenant in the navy. Prosecutor had a verbal character with the prisoner. Joseph Watkins, a horse-patrol, on the 27th of October saw the prisoner at the Jolly Butchers pub lic-house, in the Green-lanes, between Tottenham awl London. Witness asked the prisoner if his name was Wood ? Prisoner replied, " No ;" and another man, with the prisoner, told witness he was mis taken. Witness took them both into custody. On searching the prisoner's companion, he found upon him five skeleton keys, a tire-box, matches, and other housebreaking implements. Witness took both prisoners to the Enfield cage. The prisoner hi °Le out of the Enfield cage. Ile was afterwards apprehended by Hall, an officer of Union-hall. Thomas Newman saw the prisoner at the Crown public-house, Lambeth-marsh, on the 6th of Octo ber. The prisoner told witness that he had got some wedge (silver,) which he wanted to dispose of. A man, named Pelster, who was with witness, said he knew where to dispose of it. Prisoner said the money was planted, and that they could hare it nest morning. Pelster said, "We will have it to night." Prisoner then went with witness and Pelster to a timber-yard near Waterloo-bridge. Prisoner went into the vard, and brought out a carpet-hag. They went toi"elster's lodgings in Shire-lane,Temple-bar. The house is kept by a man named Hart. The bag was then opened by Pelster, and its contents, silver spoons and forks, and other plate, were concealed between the sacking and the bed. Pelster and wit ness slept in the bed that night. Prisoner slept in a chair in the same room ; there were two table cloths, also a silver tankard, with the name of " Rougemonte" engraved on it. The spoons were marked with a crest. On the following morning Pelster said he was going to take the plate to the Kent-road, to dispose of it. He afterwards said he could sell it in the house. The plate was then taken to Hart's room. Hart, his wife, and another man, were present. The plate was weighed. It came to 151. Ss., at 4s. per ounce. Neither Hart or the other man had the money to pay for the plate, but it was afterwards procured. Witness, prisoner, and Pelster, received 51. a piece. A small silver knife and fork, and a table-cloth, was given to Mrs. Hart. Cross-examined.—'Witness lived at 47, Stamford street ; left there in a hurry ; sometimes calls him self a tailor; did not hear that his master had lost any thing; was apprenticed to a tailor for two years; it is not part of a tailor's business to trans late been acquainted with the terms wedgesla ) turdg ; had plant sin ce h e k new P e l s t e r; never lived w ith a bad woman named Ellis; witness lived in the same house w i t h h er a f ter t h e a ff a i r b e tween the prisoner arid Pel s t er; k new Ha r t's name by being toll it by Pelster; Hart's house is a brothel. Did not think it a strange house to sleep in on such an occasion. Witness has been confined. Does not expect to save himself by what he has stated. Came here to save his own neck, and hang his companion. Witness was nineteen years old last January. The Jury found the prisoner—Guilty—Death. The learned JUDGE immediately passed the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner in the usual form. _ . The trial excited a most unusual degree of interest. The court was crowded to excess. OLD BAILEY, DEC. 7. OLD COURT. Maly Fitzgerald, aged 24, and Catherine Con nolly, aged 26, were capitally indicted for having traitorously had in their possession a plaster of Paris mould, used for the purpose of coining shillings, to imitate the current coin of the realm.—Both pri soners were acquitted. Afar) Fitzgerald was then separately indicted for Laving i❑ her possession a mould for casting six pences. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN wished to make an observa tion before this case was gone into. He perceived that the indictment was intended to be supported by the same evidence exactly as that which had been offered in the last case, and therefore he should like to know upon what specific grounds the Jury had found the verdict which they had just returned. The Foreman of the Jury replied, that the ground upon which his brother jurors and himself had ac quitted the prisoners, wus, that the mould had not been proved to have been in the possession of either prisoner, it having been found by the constable under the bed. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said, that it was not at all necessary, in order to establish a possession, that the mould should be found in actual operation. The Foreman—But, my Lord, we were not sa tisfied that this mould might not have been placed where it was found by some other party. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN was very glad to hear that the reason just assigned had influenced the Jury in their decision, as, upon any other ground, a verdict of guilty ought to have been pronounced. Mr. SCARLETT, under the circumstances, should not offer any evidence to support the indictment. — He begged, however, to be distinctly understood, that the counsel for the Mint by no means agreed with the opinion expressed by the Jury. If cases so strongly borne out, were thus to be disposed of, it would be necessary to apply to Parliament for a fresh enactment upon the subject.—The prisoner was then acquitted. Mary Conway was capitally indicted for having uttered five counterfeit shillings to Mrs. Davis, land lady of the Three Compasses, Drury-lane. The prisoner was found Guilty. NEW COURT. Benjamin Guillois, aged 26, was indicted for stealing a aaw and other articles, value 10s., the property of John Bowling; he was also charged with having been convicted of felony last April Sessions at the Old Bailey. The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner, who is a car penter, was in great distress, and applied to the parish for relief on the 17th of October, and, in order to relieve him, he gave him a job, and lent bin► the tools in question, with which he absconded TLe certificate of his last trial was produced by the clerk of the arraigns, and the prisoner was identified by the officer who apprehended him on that occasion. The Foreman of the Jnry asked the Court the meaning of the second indictment. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN—This, Gentlemen, is a clause in one of Mr. Peel's recent Ac's, that if a prisoner should be repeatedly tried, and convicted of petty crimes, the Court should have a power to inflict a more heavy punishment. . . The Jury were satisfied with this answer, and immedi ately returned a verdict of Guilty. Richard Moody, aged IS, was indicted for stealing a machine for sweeping chimnies, the property of George Bayley. The prosecutor, a sweep, residing at Uxbridge, swore to the machine being his property ; and a master sweep, of Shepherd's Bush, swore he bought it of the prisoner. Verdict—Guilty. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM CO- LOMBIA. (From the Falmouth Packet of Dec. 5.) By the Duke of York packet, which arrived this morning from Carthagena and Jamaica, we have received intelligence of importance from the former place. It is to the following effect :—Four days before the arrival of the packet at Carthagena, whence she sailed on the 7th of Oct., the country had experienced one of those political disturbances, which are of such frequent occurrence in infant states, and ill-estal.lished Governments. It ap peared from general report, that General Cordova, lately the companion in arms of Bolivar, the Liberator of Colombia, concealing his own ambitious designs of personal aggrandisement, had raised the stan dard of rebellion and revolt, under the flimsy prt tence that Bolivar entertained the purpose of subvertin.g the liberties of his country, by converting the republic into a monarchy, of which he professed to be the founde. The reason of advancing such a charge against the " Li berator," is said to have been, that the army under lt:s command had offered him a crown, which he refused a's proceeding only from his troops, and not from the people in general. Whatever truth may be in this atatetsent, Cordova, it is certain, took advantage of Bolivar's: ab sence in Peru, where he was endeavouring to r, cover from that republic the expences of the war just concluded, to leave him, and raising a few hundred men to proceed to certain fastnesses in the mountains, through which Bolivar must of necessity pass before he could reach Bo gota—and this pass is said to be such by nature, that a few men of resolute spirits could defend it against thou sands, and sffsctually preclude their further progress. Here Cordova prepared several proclamations, claiming to himself high pretensions as a patriot, and representing the conduct and intentions of Bolivar in the most odious light. These manifestoes, although so plausible and in dustriously circulated, did not appear to create much prepossession in his favour—but on the contrary, the general sense of the country was against him. With respect to Carthagena itself, the governor of it is a General Montilla, an alherent of Bolivar ; and, hence it may be easily guessed that he would not be slack in his endeavours to quell the present disturbances. Two days before the arrival of the packet, the whole disposable re gular troops were sent off, partly by land and partly by water, so that only a few ill-disciplined and worse equip ped militiamen, of all colours, black, white, and brown, were left for the protection of the town. The Governor himself proposed to proceed to the seat of war in as short a time as some necessary previous arrangements would permit. MuRAT.—It was said of MURAT, by NA roixoN, that when he advanced to the charge he resembled a paladin of old more than a modern soldier. In his css tume he imitated the ancient knights. His noble port showed majestically under the chivalric garb ; add to this his more than mortal daring, and we shall not wonder that the very Cossacks raised a shout of admiration when be approached them. A striking example of this occurred Sept. 4:—The king, with a few squadrons, had left Eiatz, followed at some distance by the grand army. In his march he was much annoyed by clouds of Cossacks, who hovered about the heads of his columns, and from time to time compelled them to deploy. This troublesome se ries of interruptions at length incensed him to such a de gree that he gallopped up to them unattendad, and, in an authoritative voice, ctied out, " Clear the way, vermin !" It is a fact equally extraordinary and incontestible, that these wild eons of the desert were so awed by his manner as involuntarily to obey the command ; nor did they again block up the way during the whole of that day's march. At length the French army reached the heights which overlook Moscow. Glancing at his soiled garments the king did not think them worthy of an occasion so im portant as that of entering the sacred city. Ile retired to his tent, stripped, and soon came out arrayed in the most magnificent of his costumes. His tall plume seen over everything, the splendid trappings of his steed, and the inimitable grace with which he mansged the high-spirited animal as he advanced towards the Cossacks, who were under the wails of the city, produced a loud p.•al of ap plause from those wild warriors. As an armistice had been agreed on during the evacuation of the city by the Russian rear, be remained for two hours in the midst of his new admirers, who called him their hetman, and pressed round him with tumultuous enthusiasm. His va nity was so much gratified with the homage of these children of the wilderness, that he distributed among them, first, all the money that he had about him, then all he could borrow from the officers of his staff, and, lastly, both his own watch and those of his companions.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED FLORENCE, DEC. 8. This City has been one continued passage of tra vellers for the last two months. Either at Prince Borghese's, Lord Burghersh's, or Lord Normanby's, there was an entire change of faces every week. We have now our society established for the win ter, and at no period has it been more brilliant. Last evening Lord Normanby opened the tasteful little Theatre he has had constructed in the Palazzo San Clementi, which was filled by 400 persons of rank and fashion. Shakepeare's Historical Play of King Henry the Fourth (the first part), and the Farce of Simp son and Co., constituted the evening's entertainment. The characters were thus cast : KING HENRY IV. King Henry Colonel Lane. Henry, Prince of Wales Mr. Craven. Prince John of Lancaster Mr. Dundas. Earl of Westmorland .Mr. Bligh Earl of Douglas Mr. St. John. Earl of Worcester Mr. Aubin. Earl of Northumberland... Mr. Nightingale. Hotspur Lord Normanby. Sir Walter Blunt Captain Hesse. Sir Richard Vernon Mr. Perry. Sir John Falstaff Mr. C. Mathews. Sheriff Mr. Hamilton. Poins Mr. D'Egville. Ruby Mr. Antrohus. Gadshill Mr. J. St. John. Bardolph Mr. Morgan. Peto Mr. Thellusson. Traveller Mr. Rich. Lady Percy Lady Not manby. Hostess Miss A. Stephenson. FARCE OF SIMPSON AND CO. Mr. Simpson Nfr. C. Mathews. Mr. Bromley Lord Normanby. Foster Mrs. Simpson .. Lady Nnrmanhy. Mrs. Bromley I arty Mrs. Fitzallan Miss A. Stephenson. Madame La Trappe .... La Principessa Belg ioj oso. Where each filled his part so well it would be invidious to particularise. Lady Normanby, and her sister, Lady Williamson, acted delightfully, as did also the Princess Belgiojoso, and Miss Augusta Stephenson, in the farce. Lord Normanby, Mr. Craven, and Mr. Mathews evinced the greatest talent. Were they upon the boards of Drury-lane or Co vent-garden, they would be considered most accom plished actors. The theatre itself is beautifully constructed. The scenery and dresses were most appropriate and ele gant; and the whole performance went off with the greatest éclat. Lord and Lady Burghersh escaped with life by a miracle last week. They were returning from Bo logna, and, upon descending the App,-nines, at a rapid pace, the carriage was overturned with great violence. Both Lord and Lady Burghersh received severe contusions ; and, by being copiously blooded upon arriving in Florence, all danger has subsided. Lord Burghersh appeared last night with his left arm in a sling. Lady Burghersh is expected to go out in a few days. - - - - LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 23. EX-PARTE WHITE, IN RE WHITE AND MEDCALFE, BANKRUPTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, the discussion on which has occupied the Court for several days. It arose upon a petition presented by White, one of the bankrupts, to have his commission superseded. Two actions had been brought since the petition was presented, one by the bankrupt against the messenger, the other by the assignees against Beeston and Co., and the validity of the commission was a point at issue in both causes. His Lordship had read and considered the mass of affidavits which had been made, and he was sorry to be compelled to observe, that on the one side or on the other most flagrant perjury had been com mitted. It was evident, too, from the same affi davits, that very gross frauds had been practised. It appeared that before Medcalfe joined the partner ship, White had become indebted to Messrs. Bees. ton and Co. in a sum of 6,0001., and that goods to the amount of 3,000/. were afterwards sent by them, making, in the whole, 9,0004 • Mr. Ifeeston, it seemed, was desirous of procuring a partner for White, and a clerk in the firm of Beeston and Co. had been concerned in making out a statement of White's credits, with a direct view to the partnership. It appeared, from all that had been done by Beeston and Co, by the delivery of goods and otherwise, that there was an evident with to establish a credit for the house. They exercised a constant inspec tion over the affairs of the partnership, sent persons to buy at White and Medcalfe's, and when the purchases were paid for by bills, those kills were handed over to I3eeston tra,d Co. .By Means of these toad other. payments., th« deUt originally due to latter fon was reduced, and in June last it was wholly liquidated. This transaction appeared to his Lordship to be a cotnple:e fraud upon the other creditors of the partnership. If the petitioner had lent his concurrence to these transactions, there could be no question but that such concurrence bad amounted to ail act of bankruptcy. The effect of these dealings had been to transfer the goods obtained from other houses to the house of Beeston and Co., and thereby to give them a preference over all the other creditors; and this was of itself sufficient to establish the fact of the insolvency and bank ruptcy of White and Medcalfe. It was clearly an imposition upon Medcalfe, and from the evidence, his Lordship could not doubt that White had been a party to it. He could not be otherwise than conscious of:the acts of Smith and Beeston, with regard to the transactions before the partnership ; nor could he have been otherwise than aware that persons were sent by Beeston to buy at the house. White was not a raw inexperienced man, but had, in one place or another, been in business 4,0 years. A process of sequestration had been issued against him in Scotland, and he had spent some time in Whitecross-street prison. He could not be ignorant of what Wai going on in his house ; for these were transactions which even excited remarks from some of his own shopmen. From the affidavits, it ap peared that he was most anxious to avoid the com mission of an act of banktuptcy, and frequently con sulted with Beeston's solicitor upon this point. Taking all the circumstances together, and consider. !ng the evidence on both sides, his Lordship felt himself bound to say that White in all these trans actions with Beeston and Co. was acting with a full knowledge of all the circumstances. It was extremely important that a Jury should in vestigate the case, and after that investigation, he should be able to determine whether White really was acting upon an understanding with Beestoa and Co. It was not necessary for the decision of this question that Medcalfe should be proved to be act ing with them; but it was impossible to arrive at the conclusion that White did not concur in the transactions. There were two other points remain ing for consideration. Ist, As to the purchase of the goods by Mr. and Mrs. Frowd, and the return of the goods to Mr. James. His Lordship then at some lengih detailed the evidence upon these points. It was fit, also, that Mr. and Mrs. Frowd be examined in the pending action, in order to see the real nature of this transaction. The circum— stances were extremely suspicious. As to the point of James, goods were sent from his house to White and Medcalf. He afterwards asked to have these goods sent back, and they consented, but added, " take the invoice, too, that it may not appear." This would seem to amount to a preference, as the goods were returned as a favour to James, and this of itself amounted to an act of bankruptcy. It was, however, important that all these facts should be investigated by a court of law. No great delay could arise, and the cornmi,sion must stand until the action had been tried. Several cause petitions of no public interest were afterwards disposed of. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dix. 23. BAILEY V. GARDENER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a Major in the East India Company's service, against the de fendant, for criminal conversation with his wife. Major Robert Russell—l am in the East India Company's service, and know Major Bailey, who is in the same service, and I knew Mrs. Bailey before her marriage ; her name was Rickets, and she was living at Madras; I was present at their marriage, in March, 1823, in St. George's Church, at Madras ; many other persons were present at the ceremony besides myself; they were married by a Clergymhn of the Church of England; I visited them fur the two or three months they staid at Madras; they ap peared to entertain an affection for each other. By Mr. CAMPBELL—I saw them for two months ; the young lady was about 16 or i 7; Major Bailey had been a good many years in India—about 19 years; he was turned of 40, or about 40; I don't know his age exactly ; he bad that appearance.

Halls would state, whether the content, of the papers which he had received after he bad t xpress,d hiti decision upon the case en the precedh.g day, bad in any degree produced an shetation in his opinion Mr. HALLS replied, that he had real t;ge docu ments, and they were certainly important. He was requested by Sir Richard Birnie to st.ste that he had read all the papers, and they had not produced the least alteration in the opinion he expre,sed vub licly on a former day. With respect to himself (Mr. Halls), he would assert, that he bral given his most serious attention to the contents of the papeN. and he admitted, as Mr. Cox had said on the pre vious day, that the statements were exceedingly im portant, particularly those of Ann And,rscii and the boy, but they were only important so f.r as they went to disprove all idea of criminality in any quar ter, and in confirming his (Mr. Halls) preyions de claration, that there was no'evidenee to sustain any charge before a Magistrate of a criminal nature. He would not step out of his way to state whetk•r it was probable or not that the unfortunate lady bud herself supplied the opiate, but he %lonia merely state, that upon a perusal of all the papers, he saw no reason to alter his former opinion. Mr. CULLINGTON said it was highly sntiiFactory to his client that Mr. Halls had obtained copies of the statements which had been mislaid. Mr. HALLS said that the statement of Mr. Phillips ryas highly satisfactory; but that of Mr. Phillips's sister was the most perfect, complete, and unanswer able be dy of evidence th,►t could have been brought forward; and throughout the whole the hand of Providence was particularly marked i►i tracing the events from a particular period till the decease of the unfortunate lady. Mr. CULLING TON said that the very decidedly expressed opinion of Mr. Halls afforded the highest satisfaction to Mr. Phillips. Mr. Phillips requested a correct copy a the de cision of the Magistrates, and Mr. HALLS promised he should have it. Mr. CULLINGTON congrattdatell the - Magistrates upon the termination of a case which had all along excited the most painful ferling - s; and lie begged, on the part of himself and his client, to express their unfeigned thanks to Mr. Halls, for the patient at tention which he had paid to the facts of the ease, and for his very polite and gentlemanly conduct to wards all parties wi►hout distinction. Mr. MALLS replied that he had done all in his power to come to a satisfactory conclusion ; and was happy the question was at last set at rest.

THOUGHTS ON EPICURISM.—Tat be en thralled by beauty, or by the festal pleasures of the wine cup ; to be overcume by ambition—by a passion for literary fame, or martial glory, is an excusable bondage. But to be subjection to veal pies !to be conquered by a curry ! to succumb to a calf's-heal, or to surrender a:1 the nobler Aga refining passions of mum to a passion for green, fit !! ! is an inglorious and degtsiling prnairaticn, and !evils the intellectual being with the quadruped.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. E We bare been obliged to let the (ounnuni cations from our Correspondent stand over for Want of room.] " PARIS, DEC. 19. It is generally inculcat&? on strangers, and particularly on Englishmen, on their arrival in France, that it is imprudent and unsafe to engage in conversation with Frenchmen on political sub jects. It is to be found indeed laid down as an. indispensible rule of conduct in all the Paris Guides and Continental road-hooks. I do not mean to object to its adoption as a good rule in mixed society, For the opinions of the various parties into which France is at present divided are so utterly incompatible with each other, that there is not a foot of neutral ground between the hostile camps on which a parley can be held. It is different, however, in the camps them selves ; and if you have the advantoge of a petite or even a grande entree at a Ministerial re union, or at a soiree of one of the leading mem bers of the cote gauche, during the present pe riod of excitement, you will find yourself com pelled to lay an absolute embargo on your lip s if you still persist in - adhering to the rule ofcou duct you received on your arrival. It is of course to be understood that where politics are admissible at all as a subject of conversation, the political creed of the master of the house must be taken as the standard of that of his guests and it is the fault of the guests themselvos if they visit a house where sentiments Are entertained, and opinions enforced, at variance with the party to which they happen to belong. " I have been induced to make these ob servations from what fell under my notice a few evenings ago, at the soiree of a leading Deputy of the liberal party. In lounging through the apartments, which had been thrown open for the reception of the company, but which, from the early hour for the evening, were not yet full, my attention was attracted by the loud and declama tory tone in which one of the gentlemen who had dined with us . was expatiating on the su periority of the practical jurisprudence of Eng land over that of France, which arose, he said, from the personal respectability of the members of the English bar, and of the judicial officers in the service of the Crown. He then opened a point blank battery en the corresponding officers in France, and particularly on the Procureur du Roi, whom he stigmatized in no very gentle terms, as capable of every species of meanness and espionage. I was greatly , at a loss to divine the gentleman's object in this extraordinary piece of declamation, and having called the at. tention of a friend to what I had observed, I in quired if he could afford me any clue to the orator's motives. He answered me by pointing out a quiet-looking little gentleman, who, with his hat under his arm, which indicated his being an evening visitor, was standing apart from the group to whom the speaker was addressing him self, but yet was evidently lending an attentive ear to all that wass i passing around him. That little man, said my friend, is a Procureur du Roi ; it is supposed that he has been sent here to report the style of conversation which passes in this house, and whether the gentleman who declaims with so much vehemence in favour of the men and the institutions of England, of which he is known to be no great admirer at heart, may have adopted the idea that the Procureur dry Rol has been sent here as a spy from the enemy's camp, or whether the speech be intended to rnaik his disapprobation of the Procurcur's appearance at a liberal reunion, it is very certain that the observations which have excited your curiosity are levelled at the stranger in question, who, whatever may have been his motives for coming here, will probably not soon be tempted to renew the experiment. " A fact like this, although not of much intrinsic value, serves to point out the extremely sensitive dispositions of the party at present in power on the subject of their stability in office. A similar degree of morbid sensibility is ascribed to Charles the Tenth and several members of his family, as to the durability of the Monarchy itself. Apprehensions are entertained on the one hand of the democratical or revolutionary party, which although not certainly to be despised as trifling in numbers, or insignificant in influence, is yet, I believe, very far from being so widely diffused as a late writer in the Morning Chronicle would have us to believe. On the other hand they are in terror for the more limited party, which consists of the personal admirers of Napo leon, and which in the nature of things must now be rapidly diminishing in numbers as well as in influence. The feeling of insecurity to which I have alluded is, however, strongly evinced by the numerous prosecutions which are daily instituted against engravers and print-sel lers, dealers in toys and bronzes, and indeed every profession which French ingenuity can apply to the purpose of recalling the victories or other popular actions of the late Emperor, or of reminding the people of France that he has still a representative ill the person of the young Duke of Reichstadt. A distinction indeed is attempted to be drawn between those busts and portraits of the Emperor which may be supposed to call to mind his military reputa tion, or those splendid achievements which may be regarded in some degree as national pro perty, and what has reference merely to Napoleon himself, in the character he assumed as the head of a new dynasty. The necessary licence for the sale of figures and engravings appears to be seldom withheld from representations of the Ex- Emperor himself, while those of his son arc strictly prohibited, under pretence of their ex citing to a spirit of rebellion. A new ,Istance of the activity of the police in the repression of such rebellious symptoms has just occurred in the apprehension of an actor at a provincial theatre, for having imitated the dress and manners of Napoleon on the stage. On the 16th instant this actor was brought before the tribunal of eorectional police at Chartres, on the charge of having exhibited signs and symbols calculated to propagate a spirit of rebellion An to disturb the ; white peace. I bjoin the terms of the judg ment, as it evinces the importance attached by the Judges to a matter of this nature, and con tAins an expression of the principles on whir+ the judgment is founded. " Seeing, it says, that appears from the " proceedirtg:,-, that on Sunday the 6th of Octet-Aar, at the Theatre of Chartres, at " 4 the end of the piece called the Rtatian Syit - '4 44 the actor Baudin, who was to pity tlt'e part cf " an officer of rank, amettita alone in front of 4" the stage ;_o tote costume commonly worn by " Napoleon Bonaparte in the field, copying his " air, attitude, and manners, particularly by " walking with his hands bthitid his back, and " feigning to take ntmiias Bonaparte did ; that " by his tonauct the prisoner sought to awaken lamentable recollections, and to agitate th'e " public mind ; that most of the spectators " did not mistake hip intention, that the words " It is Bolltparte !it is the Emperor !' were pro " s bounced ; that a certain emotion was pro " duced, and that thus Baudin was gUiity of " exhibiting signs in a public place, which were " calculated t.O 'disturb, and which in fact did " disturb, the public peace ; the tribunal con -4" demns him to fifteen days' imprisonment ; 4" and to a fine of a hundred ft'ancs, with costs.'

There is no altera tion in the value of Oats. Beans and Pease are each dull sale, and Is. to 2s. per quarter lower, with a very limited sale. There has been a good show of Barley, and the best malting samples scarcely supported the currency of last week, while every other quality may be noted is. per quarter lower.

TENTH DAY. The Commissioners tcok their seats to-day shortly after eleven o'clock. The names of the Jury were called over, when one of them inquired if Mr. Davies would be in at tendance to-day, as it was probable they might will' to ask him some questions. The Commissioners desired that Mr. Davies might be in attendance, and trusted there would be no difficulty in procuring him from Dr. Burrows's Retreat. Dr. Burrows, after an attempt to address the Com missioners, observed he would have nothing further to do with Mr. Davies. Dr. William M'Michael sworn—Examined by Mr. Anor.rncs—Visited Mr. Davies at Dr. Burrows's Re treat, in pursuance of the Lord Chancellor's order, on the 24th August last. Saw Mr. Davies alone. In conse quence of affidavits, spoke to Mr. Davies on two points. The two points were the supposition of the conspiracy on the tea trade, and the imaginary disease in his throat. Mr. Davies was extremely communicative, and very tire some, but I should not say that he rambled at all, nor was he incoherent. I asked Mr. Davies if he supposed any conspiracy existed among the tea brokers against himself. He said he did not mean a conspiracy in the usual accep tation of the term, but as he had been successful in trade he thought his fellow tradesmen were jealous of him. I asked him how ihat was shown ; he said when he went to the sales at the East India House they received him with a sneer ; and when he was walking they made a line, and said, lane, lane, meaning as he supposed Philpot-lane. Upon the other point he said he thought he was going into a consumption, which might have affected his throat. fre was to a certain degree hypochondriac. He told me he read books to a certain extent. I was with him two hours or more. Ile knew very well by whose order I came; he expected me in consequence of my writing to Dr. Burrows. He showed no desire to shun any conver sation or avoid any inquiries. I could detect no delusion in Mr. Davies's mind at that period, but could not form an opinion at one visit. 1 asked him about his interview with Dr. Latham. I asked him how he came to go to consult him. He said as soon as he began to suspect it seas his mother's intention to put him under restraint he went and bought a pamphlet, containing Lord Ports mouth's trial, and there he found that Dr. Latham was one of the physicians who had given evidence in favour of Lord Portsmouth, and having ascertained where he lived he called upon him. He said he was to find him bo young a man, and then discovered that he had made a mistake, that he had gone to the son instead of the father. Ile related to me all that passed between him and Dr. Latham, and said that he had told Dr. Latham that he was supposed to be insane, and on leaving him he had in vited him to come to Crouch-hill, and said, he sure to come, or if you don't dread the vengeance of a madman. Dr. Latham confirmed the statement in every word. Sir C. WETHERELL, objected to this question that celled forth the last answer. The COMMISSIONERS thought the objection well founded. Examination resumed—l saw Dr. Latham after I saw Mr. Davies. Mr. AnoLexus was proceeding to ask the same qties lion in a different form, when Sir C. Wrrtizautl. observed, that he 111 , 1 had his ob jection decided in his favour by the Commissioners, and that this was only an ingenious mode of putting the same question. The COMMISIIONERS thought the question could not be put. Examination continued—l said to Mr. Davies when he used the term dread the vengeance of a madman, Dr. La th im surely must have thought you mad ? Mr. Davies said it was only a little levity. I asked him if Dr. Latham came ? lie said he did, upon which I observed he was not much frightened. I had no doubt Dr. Latham would admit that a man who admitted himself to be mad, and threa'ened an act of violence, was not very dangerous. My opinion, upon th e whole of that examination was, Mr. Davies was not in the least incoherent. I asked him if there was any one whom he desired to see, he said he should like to see his mother and his solicitor, and his clerk, Mr. Lowe. I told him I thought I could not bring his mother or solicitor, but that I would see about bring ing Mr. Lowe. When I came home I wrote to Sir. Loudham, requesting him to allow me to take Mr. Lowe. I ultimately took him down. On the 26th, I again visited Mr. Davies, in company with Mr. Lowe;: I did not take Mr. Lowe into the room at first, he waited in my carriage, and I told him I should perhaps send for hitn ; when I went into Mr. Davies I found the family apothecary with him; I requested him to retire, and allow me to see Mr. Davies alone. After some conversation I told Mr. Davies I had brought his clerk, and requested Mr. Lowe to come in ; Mr. Davies was very glad to see him, shook hands with him, and asked him how his mother was? He then asked him how they were going on at Philpot lane ? to which he (Mr. Lowe) answered, very well, fur they had followed his (Mr. Davies) instructions up to the 2 Its. Mr. Davies then said he would give me a specimen of his cross-examination. He then asked Mr. Lowe a great many questions about the tea-trade. I don't recollect what they were, but 1 recollect making this observation, you will let me into the who'e mystery and secret of the tea-trade. One question I well recollected, About this time Mr. Davies said there should be a certain suni of money due to the East India Company, about 5,0001. He said to Mr. Lowe, how have you been able to manage about that, for you cannot have access to my funds, they are locked up? Mr. Lowe said it was vet y true, and that Mrs. Byewater had been obliged to borrow the money I should think the last conversation lasted two hours. The report I furnished to the Lord Chancellor isithe tree impression of my mind, resulting from my visist. The report of Dr. APAlichael, of the 28th of August was read, by which the Doctor reported to the Chancellor that be considered Mr. Davies had no delusion, but whether he was capable of managing his own affairs the Doctor had great doubt, and requested the Lord Chancellor to allow another physician to attend Mr. Davies with him. On the 7th of September, Sir Geo.Tuthill and Dr. AP:Michael visited Mr. Davies, and made separate reports. Of that interview Dr. APAlichnel could not speak with that accu racy that Sir Geo. Tuthill slid. Dr. AP:Michael asked Mr. Davies if if he did not distress his trade by purchasing the Crouch-hill estate ? He said no; the money was taken out of the Funds. I asked him if it was not too fine a place? He said no, he did not think so, the profits of his trade were be tween 3 and 4,0001. a year, and he thought that would sup port it. It would also be an inducement to his health. His answers to every thing were quite correct and rational. (The second report of Dr. APMichael was read.) Temporary seclusion would have been better for Mr. Davies at his own house than elsewhere. Received a note from Mr. Hobler, asking if I should have any objection to see Mr. Davies again ; I at first demurred, but ulti mately agreed to do so. I visited Sir. Davies for two hours on the sth of December. The old topics were brought forward, and I had not the slightest doubt at that time that Mr. Davies was of sound mind, and quite capa ble of managing his own affairs. Mr. Davies answered every question, with the exception of one, freely. I had heard that Mr. Davies had been insulted by persons alluding to his having certain propensities. I said no wan suspected him to be really guilty of it, and I wished him to explain to me how he thought it had ori ginated. He was embarrassed, and hesitated for a mo ment, he said he wished he had never mentioned that, for nohody would believe his story, and therefore concluded he was labouring under a delusion. I said how do you sup ro•_'.s it C.rose in the first instance, he said the only e,plana tion - that he could give of it was, that when be was at Portland-terrace the first night, the landlady of the house had asked him if he had any objection to sleep in a double bedded room, he refused for some time, but when she said it would be a great cot . ivenience to bet-, 11.1(1 thit it would on'v fth. Het - OA; ne consented, and that when he Sri giong to bed.he said to the keeper who was to occupy the other bed, you may as well come to bed to me, the noarer you are to me the betttr, as I am to be kept under your eye. Thus it was he supposed the idea had arose. (The examination in chief of Dr. Ill'Michael was pro ceeding when we left. CONTINUED PROSECUI lON OF THE MORNING JOURNAL. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY, THE KING r. MARSDEN. 'Phis morning beimg appointed for the trial of this issue, Lord TENTERDEN took his seat at his usual time on the bench, but the Court was very thinly attended. The following Special Jurymen were called and sworn as the Jury : Edward Gregory, merchant. Thomas Smith, Esq. Joseph Delafield, Esq. Thomas Flood Cutbush, Esq.- Jos •ph Hardman, merchant. William Dunn, Esq. Philip Philpot, Emq. John Tiplady, merchant. David Henderson, Esq. John Cooper, Esq. Robert King, Esq. Thomas Fisher. At this time Lord Holland entered and took his seat o►+ the bench. For the prosecution appeared Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, SOLICITOR• GENERAL, Mr. BROUGHAM , Mr. G LTR NEY, and Mr. WIGHTMA N. No Counsel appeared for the defendants. It was whispered in the Court that Mr. Alexander in tended protesting this morning to the Court against the prcseeutions following each other so rapidly, as to prevent their making any effective preparations for defence. Mr. Alexander, however, had not appeared when the above trial hid commenced. When he came in, he spoke to Mr. Humphries, who then appeared as counsel for the de fendant Mr. Isaacson. Mr. WIGHTMAN opened the pleadings, by stating that this was a prosecution against G. Marsden, Robert Alex ander, and Stephen Isaacson, for a scandalous, malicious, and inflammatory libel upon his Grace Arthur Duke of Wellington, in the Morning Journal of the 30th of July last. The ATTOANEY-GENY.RAL addressed the .Jury. Gen tlemen, it gives me very great pain to say that this is the third prosecution, indeed, in point of fact, I may call it the fourth, in which one of the defendants (Alexander) is a defendant upon the record ; and I hope you will give those credit who appear on the part of the prosecution for this feeling, that nothing but the constant repetition of offences of the same sort would have induced them to have pursued the same individual in the way they have done. There can be no personal feeling against him ; but unless: it can he laid down as a maxim, that the more incorrigible a man becomes the more he may do with impunity, it is impossible that such a line of conduct can be allowed to go on. Gentlemen, this isan indictment preferred by his Grace the Duke of Wellington for a personal libel on himself ; one of a character which I need not designate, as it will be suffi cient to read it to you, The defendant (Mr. A.) is still Proprietor of the newspaper in which this libel was pub lished but he has now got two coadjutors, different to those associated with hint in the other informations. One's name is Marsden, the other Isaacson. Perhaps it may he to the credit of the two others in partnership, and who were brought forward in the other prosecutiens, that at length they thought fit to abandon the publication ; that they thought fit lint to continue with Mr. Alexander, to share either in his perils or his crimes; but as I have said, he has found two others who are this day brought before you. I know very well it may be said, Gentlemen, that libels on any man in high station ought to be passed by with contempt, and I have generally found that that opi nion prevails most among persons who are not themselves the subjects of such attacks ; but it has happened ta ps ir to observe wherever a man is the subject of an attack by the Press, either on his honour, or in which he is treated with contumely, I have found that that individual is sure to think his particular case calls for punishment. Now for example, in the course of Illy professional duties, it has more than once, I May say, more than twenty times, happened that I have had the great honour of being consulted by gentlemen concerned in iruldishing newspapers ; and I have found that even they, who of all others are the moat liberal in their opinions, and most averse to prosecutions for libel, if they have been the subject of attack, they have felt in the most delicate possible manner on the subject. It has happened to me to have been counsel for members of the Press both in sup port and in defence of prosecutions, where the parties I have found proceeded against each other with the most bitter hatred, and a degree of severity that could hardly have been equalled. So that if Mr. Alexander, or any other editor, happened to have any slur cast upon his reputation—upon his private character, you would find that,he immediately consider, that an excepted instance to the rule they lay down with respect to all others, that you ought to allow the Press to abuse all persons, public or private, and to leave it to the opinions of mankind to decide whether he ought to he treated with contempt or not. Now, Ido trust your will think his Grace the Duke of Wellington, in appealing to the laws of his country for that protection which is due to him, as well as to all others, is entitled to consider himself not bound to rest satisfied with the repeated daily wanton attacks that have been made on his character, especially when they accuse him, in his high station, of a crime that it would be almost impossible to surpass. Gentlemen, this libel appeared in the Morning Journal after other prosecutions were pending, and purported to have been written by John Little Crosby, A.M., Minister of Sydenham, Kent, and domestic Chaplain to the Duke of Cumberland. Now, whether there be any such person in existence or not, or whether, if there be such person, he could have written such a libel, is a matter that I am not able to inform you of. All I know is, that the Editor of the Morning Journal thought fit to publish it in that Paper, and you will find that it contains imputations on the Duke of Wellington, such as unquestionably, if he ware to submit to, and if the public were to attach credit to, would render hint not only unworthy of the high cora fidence of his Sovereign, which he has long enjoyed, and unfit for the station he fills, but a proper subject fir pro secution and punishment himself. When I tell you that you will find in this publication something more than insinuation., a direct charge that his Grace of Wel lington is aiming himself at the sovereign power, and wishing to secure it in his own family, it will be fur you to judge whether or not, if you were in his high station, and such an attack were made on yeti, you would think the writer ought to be treated with perfect indifference, especially after repeated attacks, not I admit so atrocious, but yet exceedingly offensive and impertinent, had been from day to day, for many weeks before, unceasingly made. I do not propose, Gentlemen, to trouble you with reading the whole of this paper—it is very long, and it is fur the greater part, the repetition of general abuse. Had the paper confined itself to that only, it might have been passed over with contempt. It is only when the writer comes to specific charges, that he is entitled to the notice now taken of the publication. Th rt I hope you will follow up, in accordance with the decision of the Grand Jury, who have found this Bill, by your verdict that this is an atrocious libel. 'she libel is this:— . 4 To his Highness the Duke of Wellington. " My Loan,—ln the miserable state to which your united ignorance, vanity, and ambition have reduced a once exalted and flourishing nation, it only remains for your Highness and your Whig Attorney-General to put down the Press of the country, silence public opinion, and ultimately stifle the complaints of the surviving but persecuted Protestants of Ireland, now weeping over the murdered remains of those relatives who have been slaughtered at the shrine of your Highness's Popish Re lief Bill. Did your Highness tell the truth, when, during the progress of that Bill, you assured a Right Rev. and Venerable Prelate (Bishop of Bath and Wells) that the Relief Bill (so called) was calculated not only to preserve the Protestant establishments of this country, but in short to overturn Popery altogether? Did your Highness from your heart tell the truth, when, with despicable cant arid affected moderation, you drew a pretty little picture of the horrors of a civil war, and in a whining weeping tone deprecated and abjured the notion of crushing treason by the law of the land and the bayonet? Oh, yes, indeed. When (lid your Highness acquire those fine feelings? Who ever suspected, or who ever presumed to accuse your Highness of mercy — ofcompassion—of moderation, or of any ut those more kindly or tender sympathies which distinguish the heart of a man from that of a proud dictator and a tyrant ?" He seems to think that a proud dictator and a tyrant is nut a man. NOW this is the language used by a gentleman 'O, (I hope I :nay say without meaning either to offend or to flatter any one,) the most distinguished General that has ever won laurels in the Britidi army ; one that has manifested the highest skill and courage, aml I net d not ell you, Gentlemen, for you will know it, that wherever here are great courage and skill, humanity and kindness .re ever an accompaniment to that character. He says, • but what has your Highness done ? You have, as you lege, avoided a civil war. I deny your assertion. You lave put off the evil day. Off the evil day! The con plest of the traitorous and confederated Papists of Ireland, lid not suit yo,r present ambitious views, and I hereby miblicly arraign your Highness of the grossest treachery to roar country, or else the most arrant cowardice, or it you please, treachery, cowardice, and artifice united. How :lave you avoided a civil war ? By suffering the san 4 uinary Papist to issue forth from his den, and murder his Protestant fellow-subject in cold blood. How have you avoided a civil war, I ask you again? By seeing the decent, loyal, educated, and free-born Protestant impaled , o the very earth, on the pike of the Popish assassin, at the very moment when the last drop of blood flowing from his heart was not sufficient to glut the vengeance of Ida enemies, because the wretched man had dared to wear an orange lily, or drink the memory of a Prince who gave us a Constitution which your Highness has destroyed.— And yet, with an effrontery only equalled by the dirty perfidy and tyranny with which you carried your odious Relief Bill, you say you have given relief to Ireland.— Now mark me, proud Duke—l called you so once before—l KNOW TOUR. OBJECTS—I HAVE KNO W N rnxat LONG ; and it is not my fault if they are not known in the highest quarters of this land. — If it should please God, for some special marks of his Almighty displeasure against this country, to con tinue your Highness at the head of the Administration •if your betrayed and deceived Sovereign, you will find that in the end (and that end will be before long) you will be obliged to pot down, by main force of civil war, the insurrectionary spirit of the Irish Papists, or submit to an overthrow of the Union between Eng land and Ireland—an object not only contemplated but projected, arranged, and matured, into every thing short of actual execution, since the year 1814, and all through the instrumentality and operations • of the Jesuits." You will not understand me, Gentlemen, as wishing to attach the least degree of importance to the belly which dictated these expressions with respect to the measure alluded to, or the present state of Ireland. To these I give no importance; they merely form parts of the libel to which I am now c'lling your attention. The libel goes on—" Let me tell your Highness further, that you and your colleagues can never shelter your selves under an assum e d ignorance of those points.— If you possess, however, one particle of honour, bravery, loyalty, or justice—if you be not actually driven to insanity by the restless ambition which characterises your weal-known ULTERIOR OBJECTS—if you wish now in your old age to conciliate a confiding and affectionate people who once believed you to be their own—if you know that the projects are KNOWN to an Illustrious Indi vidual, wham you permitted to be vilified, traduced, calumniated, and detained, without even once denouncing his traducers—if you think that the blood of those loyal murdered subjects of the King cries aloud for vengeance, if you be a Christian, if you know the uncertainty of life and death, that you are but a man—that you may be a convert • to the worm before you can wield the sceptre elan infant Princes—that this infant has, in case of necessity, a rightful guardian in a Royal and exalted Protestant rela tive, and that the best and proudest blood of England 4hall be shed in the defence of that Prince and his Royal House—if, Duke--if, I say, your Highness knows that these things are so, or may be so, then, in God's name, I conjure you to restore peace, if peace be yet in your power, and to give it to that wretched country, of which your High ness's vanity makes you ashamed to be called a native. Does not your Highness know that if you ever deserved the name of a brave soldier, or an honest man, you could not take a more just or likely method of retaining those invaluable gems in your coronet than by coining fur ward boldly, and like a man, in the house of Lords, and by acknowledging the mischief arising from that error which (to give it a mild name) your ignorance had led you to commit." Well, then, I pass over a part, and then it goes on—" To be sure people will ant give you much credit for your wisdom and sagacity, but you will gain much more by the balance which might remain in favour of your honesty ; and I do believe, that however late you may appear ox the ground, in this act of justice and integrity, you will ultimately do better for yourself, and for the noble palace which you are now constructing, than in running any risk to encounter a desperately ambitious measure which is now not merely suspected by the public, but actually canvassed and discussed in every political conversation. It would be idle in me to suppose that your Highness was ignorant of toy meaning." Now, by reading these pas sages, by this time, it will appear to you that in them the writer intends to make an insinuation affecting the loyalty and the honour of the Duke, by pointing to an infant Princeea, and the ambitious views of the Duke in his expectation of wielding her sceptre. Now, Gentlemen, you will consider whether this is, or is not, a statement fit to be borne by a Minister. A statement of circumstances in which the writer presumes to impart to the world that his Highness's Ambitious views carry him forward to the intention of wending the sceptre of the infant Prince's. It then goes on—" If I discover your base hireling press again daring to insult and calumniate my Royal Muter, the Duke of Cumberland, or if I tied you ever to suffer the foul libellers to pass by unnoticed and unpu nished, I shall, with God's blessing, hold your Highness up to public view, and unmask you more openly than you have been even hitherto exposed to your betrayed country; and further let me tell you, Duke, that I shall do so in defiance of your Highness, your Whig Attorney-General, the whole Cabinet, and the Popish mob of Ireland into the bargain, for I am determined to try, either by the sacrifice of my own life, or your Highness's head,whether it be in your power to keep the Protestants of my native land in the degraded, miser.ible, and humiliated state," to which I again repeat, your vanity, ignorance, treachery, ambition, and artifice, have reduced them. " One word more. There is not a sensible man in the kingdom who believes the flippant and well-contrived report that your Highness's eldest son is about to be married to the accomplished daughter of your physician. Trust me that we know your Highness too well. Long—long since has your Highness aspired to a higher prize for the heir of Apsley Palace. Do you understand me, Duke ? If not, my next shall speak in plainer terms thin those which be wildered my Lou! Lyndhurst in the interesting story of Uncle Tohy and Corporal Trim. I will watch you—l will unmask you. I have the power to do the first—l have the power and courage to do both, but as I once told your Highness, sot ere already watched by deeper and wiser heads than mine.' I leave you to the consolations of your conscience, while you reflect on the blessings and advantages of your Relief Bill,' although I do not know what kill you mean to introduce to relieve yourself from the acorn and detestation of every loyal Protestant in this land of former pride and liberty." Now, you sec that it is insinuated here, his Grace the Duke of Wellington intended to place the Sovereign power in his own family. It cannot be disguised that it is meant that the Duke, for the purpose of accomplishing this by his power and authority, intended to effect a mar riage between his eldest son and the Illustrious Princess, who, according to the probability of all human events, may he considered destined to preside over these realms. Now, if any Minister could entertain such a design, if he could make use of his power to accomplish such an event, it would, indeed, be a treacherous conduct towards his Sove reign that would truly call for very severe punish ment. The question for you is, whether the Duke should under this charge against him—and made by a person who seems to write in the character of a gentleman, giving some appearance to the publication, as if it were not the dull production of 31r. Alexander, but of a person whose name is introduced to carry it off and give it a semblance of authority, whether he should rest satisfied without noticing it? Most unquestionably the Duke of Wellington is of a contrary opinion—he thinks that he is bound to notice it. I run of the same opinion. I think he was bound to notice it, and he has noticed it, not in the form of an es-officio information. The only difference between which and an ex-officio information is, that in this information the previous opinion of the Grand Jury is taken. In this instance, the case has been laid before the Grand Jury, to know whether the matter deserved to be carried further or not, and they con sidered that it ought to be prosecuted. The libel concludes thus—" I am not hypocrite enough to say that I ant your Highness's obedient servant, John Litton Crosbie, A.M., Minister of Sydenham, Kent, and domestic Chaplain to his Royal Highness tie Duke of Cumberland, a Prince before whom 1 h ope to see you quail."feelingthe Nowtilijis individual apiece w ofnonsense ;but it charac terises has, written this publication, by introducing the name of his Royal High ness the Duke of Cumberland, and thus treating it with disrespect ; for undoubtedly the introduc tion of his flame into such a lihel as this, b°ll.di-Yiyaalny thing but an act of llighness the Duke of : his any Chaplain as thi s Rev.

He did not know, however, whether 't to tn . glit have been a misfortune was not an advant fi . t ,, him, because he mine with his mind fresh to the sub),o and in his own opinion he thought he should bare ', i ll) , difficulty in persuading the Jury to a dif f e rent view 010,„ case than had been expressed in the opinion of the Atter : lo General. That Learned Counsel had stated that this t the fourth libel which it had been necessary to bring lions for against the newspaper in que stieu. Ile beg!; however, to assure them, that it wa s onl y the first 00°,1 which had been brought against the gentleman whorna:, had th e h onour o f re presenting. That g entleman o w h clergyman, a m em b er of the Church of England, wh e ; s for several years been considering a nd writing on the .„, which, at the same time in which the alleged libels were p.,P." lished, had so greatly excited the attention of the pub; He called called it a libel, because it had bee n so called b/ df , Learned Friend, but for his own part he took a Yeti oft ferent vier/ of it. It contained no corrept m otive ag,. g, the private character or conduct of the Duke of ton ; it contained no imputation bat against his conduct, which was open to the observation of eve r y °°: ptehraniwf Wes it did net meddle with, or offer a n opion n l id d the private worth of the Duke of Wellington. I t al ' a ble to nothing but that for which the Duke was anet e , er tf - er e to the public—his public conduct as a public man• f l e d was an advantage of which the Duke might have at; so himself in this publication, which was not generally IPO,O by p ilitical observations : that advantage was, that t d not anonymous. It contained the rank, the rams, ,bt situation of the person who wrote it. If it could be the' 4 i f y. that the Duke of Wellington could have a private 0411°113 against a newspaper, the course pursued in this case well justify that opinion, for why was not she libeller o 'er ' self—if a libel it were—brought there to-day, to ' boo in his own person for what lie had written ? It hiii „ e said that the Press was a vehicle from which could t'ol anonymoualy the moat scandaloue and slanderous observavit e, to tile public, but he thought it a little singular that . n_ ff a person who was the composer of that which h d 1 7, 1 p to-day charged as a libel could be found by the proserto`',„ that the noble prosecutor should be advised that it was his best course to set himself in array a gainst the printer proprietor of a newspaper. But why (Paid the Counsel) dthe oes he ire n on ot e_ pr w es h e;u d t , e we rh h e e If writer think that if the writer had bier prosecuted, the charge would sustain it here to-day ?

" ears polite," with such harsh and ungrateful words. Thl'n my I easned Friend mentions the allusion ti your Whig Attorney-General :" but, gentlemen, is that a libel that the Learned Attorney-General is a W hig. And now Gentlemen, I ask, as you cannot shat you r ryes exactly to what is passing out of doors, I ^thether yoa did not read at the time, and after the Passing of this measure, day after day, accounts of occur rences which made your blood run cold. Since that it has been thought that what did prevail, would prevail on Passing the measure. But will you, Gentlemen, or can any one else attach any blame to the writer who predicted it ? Was it blameable to state that opinion, when the writer believed that it was to be imputed to the-result of the measure that was passed, and when no intention pre vailed with him of defaming the Duke of Wellington? The writer only firmly and honestly stated his opinion, which was also the opinion of a large portion of the Com munity. Wheats!. the Noble Duke did what is stated in the lettar, or ialiethet‘ he did nht, it was the opi n:64 of this gentleman that he did say so, the truth of it is not for you to enquire into, but I ask you, whether in your opinion lie did or did not niake them. That is no libel upon a Minister, that gentlemen believed it to be so. Now, Gentlemen, here is what might be thought a sneer if not explained. You see this gentleman has addressed the Noble Duke. " Your B ig/loess," I believe that this gentleman has given him his Tight title, for he is in fact Prince of Waterloo, which entitles him to be addressed your Highness, ahlua gh it is the common course of this country not to use it.— Theae are strong passages, I admit ; but I ask you if, in the momenta of deep feeling, such language would not be justifinble in calling the attention to a measure at a ti me when there were very few men who did not be lieve that such a measure would be injurious to the first principles of our Constitution,—when there were so many men who believed the rights' of the ' , abject were in danger. It does not speak much for the sagacity and prudence of the public prosecutor in this , when one would have hoped that those feelings would have sunk to rest which had so excited the country on that occasion ; it may be wise, but I take the humble liberty of doubting it. It may be considered wise to call into action these feelings again, to discuss this question again, by Prosecuting those who not only thought and felt, but Whese duty it was to think and feel deeply—and w h o on oat occasion thought fit to complain of the Duk e o f Wel "gton. This question is entirely a question of intention, Whether it was the intention of this writer to libel the Duke pf Wellington? You remember, Gentlemen, how deeply were the feelings at that time, and you will say whether the writer intended to call the public attention to measures which he thought and felt were injurious to the principles of the Constitution. lie believed that there was a blow aimed at the Constitution, which he would never allow to be overthrown. It does not speak much for the wisdom, Prudence, or sagacity which has been so much boasted of, by instituting, nor would it be much increased by these p e rsecutions. I rather think it would have been consi derably increased, rather than diminished, by ab staining front these prosecutions. If the Noble pro secutor had remained content with the glory which he had acquired, it would have been more prudent than to have attempted to have increased it by the conquest of three individuals conducting a newspaper, than in choosing a conquest over them to that of the libeller himself. Above a hundred Years ago it was recorded that the opinion of all men was more flattered by being praised for the pos seaaion of qualities in which they were deficient ; and it had been said of one of the greatest Generals of old times, that he paid much less attention when persons who wished t° make their court to him, merely flattered him on the score of his great achievements and conquests, than t ° those who persuaded him that he was an excellent lin ger, which wae a quality he did not possess. It may h oe been whispered to the Noble Duke, that his conquests Were not complete ; lie may have been told that it was much more glorious, to conquer an unfortunate printer; that the most glorious feat of all would be to capture the defendant ; to draw a captive at the wheels of his chariot, his presses, his paper. and his ink ; this, he was molt pro bably told, was the most glorious triumph. After refer ring to several other passages of the libel, and ably com menting on them, the Learned Gentleman sat clown. Mr. Alexander stated, that he should not trouble them at great length in his defence. With the libel, and the person who wrote it, he had nothing whatever to 4 " , "'A he attributed the present prosecution to a design of t he present Ministry, as he had before stated, to re strain the liberty of the Press, and crush those who derail to oppose it. Mr. Alexander then sat down. The Arroaxer- GENERAL then rose to reply, to which Mr. lIUMPHRITS objected, but Lord TINTE&DEN ruled that the Attorney-General was ' always entitled to a reply, when engaged officially. The Arroataxv-Gaairaar, then proceeded to address t he Ju r y. H e was certa i n t h at M r . H ump h reys-expected , • Would reply, as be (Mr. H.) had made use of observa tions, and laid down propositions to which he 'Mtt have anticipated a reply. The Attorney- General continued :—Mr. Alexander has told us that the signature to the letter is the actual author, and that it also states his residence. Whether that state ment is correct or not I do not know; but the author, b e whoever he may, has not ventured to come forward and declare himself. It is not because the defendants are • not the real authors of the letter that they are not legally reaponsible. Suppose, gentlemen, one man prepares a • Poison, and another administer, it, would it not be the height of folly to imagine that they were not both equally lloilty of murder? This proceeding is not instituted by the Janke of Wellington, for the purpose of prosecuting the n ewspaper; but not being able legally to prove who was the author he had no other alternative. I can assure you, however, if the real author is ever known, the Duke will not fail to take steps to punish him. My Learned Friend thinks it very hard that a publisher should he Punished and net the writer,—there is no hardship in it ; f "la suppose a man writes a libel for his own amusement, and lets it lie on his desk, there is no harm done—it is the Publication that is the crime. The next topic to which h Y Lear ne d F r i en d h as a ll u d e d to , I can assure hi m h e as quite mistaken what I said. lie supposed I applied the terms of folly and ignorance to all those who oppose the great measure of Catholic Emancipation, I did no such taiag, What I said was this—l should pass over all the folly and ignorance of the writer, %filen talking about those who did oppose that measure, and likewise his state ments respecting the anarchy and confusion which now existed in Ireland ; and I think, Gentlemen ; I may here take upon myself to say, that the state of Ireland for ninny years has not been so tranquil as for the last five or six months, I can steatite you it is in that state as to give the greatest s atisfaction to his Majesty's Minister. It is increasing every day in prosperity and peace, so much so that all t hose engaged in the administration of the laws in that country, from the Lord Lieutenant downward, have the greatest confidence and satisfaction in its future prospects. Gentlemen, I am astonished how any man could suppose fora moment that I intended to impute folly and ignorance t ° many noble and distinguished individuals, who con scientionsly entertained the same views on the Catholic question as the defendants. Yet, my Learned Friend rises °P in arms and charges me with the grossest illiberality. The next topic to vi hich my friend alluded was, that the Duke of Wellington, by this proceeding, brought himself into comparison with the printer of a newspaper ; and that it was a proceeding unworthy of his high station. Gentle- Men, let me impress upon your minds that whatever you may think of this prosecution having been instituted by the Doke of Wellington, with the propriety of that you have nothing to do. By the oath you have taken you are hound to say whether in your opinion this publication a libel or not ; you will say by your verdict this day, Whether you think a Minister of the Crown ought to put with the most scandalous abuse without notice. Gentlemen, I appeal to your passions —you are not here this day to try whether the Duke of Wellington did right Or not in bringing this prosecution, but whether the law of th e land has not been most grossly violated. You ,re not here to decide whether it is policy in a public man to pass over all libels levelled against him by the Press, that is not a question for your decision. AIY Learned Friend has told you, that from the great use folness in newspapers they ought to be dealt with favour -414Y. It is no part of my duty, Gentlemen, this day, to vindicate the course the Duke of Wellington has adopted. He `lid not proceed by ex-effcio information, as he might have 6 ° ll e, but chose rather to go before a Grand Jury ; whether this course was right or wrong I have nothing to do W ith. I know that those who take their opinisns entirely from the Public Press will think that there might to be no Prosecutions for libels; but those who did not take their ° Pinions from that source thought differently : let any man b trnme the subject of attack—let hits have his feelings lace rated —he will then form a very different opinion on the subject. And, G e ntl emen , let me tell you there e no persons more sensitive on this point t han these connected with the Public Press itself. 'his Lordship has sat day after day hearing cases of libel arising out of disputes between one reporter and another. Anti of what consequence, gentlemen, was such libels to t he present, it was no more than a drop of water to the mighty ocean. I say it does not reflect on the dignity of "Y man, whatever his situation, to be insensible to the z "taeka of the press. Neither can I ever subscribe to t 1 ;" dortrine, that all public men should participate in the I insensibility. lam aware of the power of the press, and in some cases its usefulness, but this is no excuse for its traduc ing, day after day, the most exalted character•. For in the country, many ignorant persons take their opinions entirely from the public Press. Surely then it behoves every man whose character is attacked, to sit I t ito right with the mild. We are told that excuses ought to be made for the hurry in which matter is prepared for pUblication, lint that was not the case in the present instance. Months were allowed to elapse after the Duke gave offence by sanctioning the measure of Catholic Relief before the pub'ication appeared ; it was a most deliberate composition; and if written by the Rev. Gentleman whose name is af fixed to it, I should almost be inclined to think received as much consideration as he would give to one of his sermons. The Duke of Wellington was charged with abusive the power of his office for his own personal ag grandizement. If, however, such had bren the case he would indeed have been unworthy of the high station he ❑ow fills, and justly liable to a charge of a criminal nature; but the fact was the very reverse, and there was no authority to justify the writer of this article in making such charges, except it was the authority of a corrupt and licentious Press. 1 know I shall be accused of great ty ranny in the said prosecutions; the Press of the country will make common cause with each other. I knew an in stance some time back, where a (lay or two after the trial of a proprietor of a newspaper for libel, he thought proper to publish the names of the Jury—if I could prove tat this was done to show to the world who the men were that convicted him ; or if, in any such case, the names were published to influence any future Jury in giving a verdict, I now declare that I will take my part in bringing the Editor of sny newspaper, that so publishes the name of the Jury, with such an intent, to condign punishment. Let, Gentlemen, the administration of justice be kept pure, The publications of the Press are not to be passed by with impunity by a Minister of the Crown, except a law should be passed, and a Jury should sanction such a law, to pre vent a public functionary from noticing its attacks. Sup pose such a law could be passed, the Press would at once lose all its influence—it would abound with base falsehoods and sink into the filthy language of Billingsgate. We can- not suppo e, Gentlemen, but that Ministers have the same feelings as other men ; and if they are charged with cowardice and treachery, and every other species of base ness, it is only natural that they should seek the same redress. The Duke of Wellington is destined to go down to posterity as one of the most distinguished Generals and eminent statesmen that ever adorned this or any other country; would it not, therefore, be imprudent to let these libels go uncontradicted. I call on you, gentlemen, upon the oath you have taken this day, to do justice ; do not fear by your verdict of pulling down the liberty of the press. It is the cause of the people of England that you are this day to decide, for should the time ever come, when Juries were fearful of incurring the anger of the press, then indeed would tyranny reign, and justice would never be administered. You are called upon to decide whether this publication is not calculated to injure the feelings of the Duke of Wellington. What would you think if it were levelled at you, and the Duke of Wellington feels it not the less because he is a Cabinet Minister; after there have been already three prosecutions, I beg pardon for occupying so much of your attention, but I wish to impress on you that the time is come when punishment ought to, and must, follow. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up. Ile gave it as his opinion that the publication was clearly a libel; and there could be no doubt that the highest character i❑ the land had an equal right with the meanest subject, and was authorized in coming into Court to vindicate his ch,u•acter against the calumnies with which it had been assailed. The Jury, without retiring from the box, found all the defendants Guilty. THE KING v. BELL. Mr. ALDERSGN opened the pleadings. This was an ex-officio information, filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, who was Editor of a newspaper called the Atlas, for publishing in that Paper a false and scandalous libel, reflecting on the character of the Lord High Chan cellor of Englaad. There were other counts in the decla ration, charging the defendant with publishing a false end scandalous libel on Lady Lyndhurst. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury, This was the fifth time he bad to address them on the subject of libels, and it gave hint great pleasure to say, that for some time it would be the last. This was a prosecution instituted by the Lord Chancellor, whose Counsel he was, and it was his duty to state to them the article reflecting on the honour and character of his Lordship. The libel had charged in a mast artful manner one of the Ministers of the Crown with carrying on an illegal traffic in the sale of ecclesiastical situations. The libel was worded in the most insinuating manner, anti well calculated net only to bring his Lordship into contempt, bat also his Lady. The Jury must be aware that the Lord Chancellor, from his high station, bad considerable patronage. They must also know that he was bound to bestow that patronage unbiassed by sordid motives, and if he had acted otherwise, he had been guilty of crimes of the deepest die. He would read the libel, and then the Jury would see the artful manner in which it was worded. It was as follows :—" It was generally stated in the political circles last night that a certain Noble and Learned Lord who enjoys great pa tronage, had been trafficking in Ecclesiastical pre ferments." The libel went on to say, that his Lord ship's friends did not believe it, but that if any eccle siastical appointments had been bartered, it must have been through the medium of his Lordship's wife. The Attorney-General then said, the reason the Proprietor of the Paper was not included in the prosecution was, that the defendant had stopped the Press, and inserted the offensive article without his knowledge. The Attorney-General went on to remark, in strong language, on the 'nature of the libel, and bow calculated it was to injure the character of the Lord Chancellor. Gentle men, in conclusion, I beg to remind you, that this information was filed by the leave. of the Court of King's Bencn, upon affidavits filed by the Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst ; and every opportunity was given to the defendant of getting rid of this prosecution, if he would give up the names of the parties from whom he received it. Mr. Edward Panter, the printer of the Atlas, and Mr. Shepherd, a relation of Lady Lyndhurst, were examined. Mr. Bell then rose—He trusted the Jury would not attribute any feeling lie might evince to fear, but to the novelty of his situation. He felt the greatest anxiety to vindicate himself from the charge of being a scandalous libeller. The qnestien with bins was more a question of i haracter than any thing else; he had no political or personal objects to answer—the character of the Paper he had the honour to conduct was distinguished for its neutrality in political matters. He was anxious also to state that he had no intention whatever to wound either the feelings of Lord or Lady Lyndhurst. He thanked the Attorney-General for the temperance with which he had acted towards him. It must be well known to all that the Editor of a newspaper stood in a peculiar situation—he stood between the public and the proprietors whose interest he represented. It was necessary for him to obtain such amusement and instruction as would please all. being placed in such a situation, he was above all liable to the risk of prosecution. The matter complained of was furnished to him by a confidential correspondent ; and sooner than barter the trust reposed in him by those who gave him that information, he would suffer all the incon venience of the present prosecution—he never would be denounced to the public as a man who would barter a trust reposed in him. The Atlas newspaper was, perhaps, one of the most ambitious attempts ever known on the part of one publication to give matter generally contained in many publications ; it entertained : no hos tilities to any man, or any b o dy o f men . It had oc curred merely from mistake—mistakes occurred every where, even in this Court—not long since a Learned Gen tleman argued a case most strenuously, and shortly after discovered, on looking at his brief, that he was for the other side. A newspaper might be consi dered a mirror which reflected passing events, and in a moral point of view could only be considered re sponsible for the shadow, and not the substance. The alleged libel stated nothing definitive, it merely dealt in rumours. It was true rumours were not the legitimate property of newspopers ; they would go from one to another, and increase like Mrs. l'iozzi's " three crows." Was it, he would ask, unlawful to print that which it was not unlawful to speak? The law of libel was certainly very imperfect, but he hardly thought it would allow such a course to be taken. It bad been remarked by Holt, that nothing could be onaidered a libel unless it were personally known and understood. His case came precisely under that denomination. In the case of Lord Addington, who was tried for publishing a speech in the House of Lords, calculated to wound the character of a solicitor, Lord Ken yon observed the matter of that libel must be clearly under stood, and a malicious intention be shown. The liberty of the Press was a natural right. No matter in what form—it was a natural right. It was true that if the Press were not to have boundaries it would certainly be a curse to the country, but where were those boundaries to be found, or in what manner they were to be fixed ? Not by legal pro ceedings, but by public opinion. The liberty of the Press, we are told, is a bidden gem, and that the moment vou put foi th your hand to reach it, you are punished for the attempt. By their decision the Jury would fix the amount of reapongitdlity th It aft' t. the editor .' a Newspaper for publi , hinz it 0 b riot..l iMISI•it ex before. The public Pre , . sva. at till , iocoient an itbi,•et of considerable interest fr..in the many rali.innics that bail been published against l!dirti•ters.. There w..s in knowing that if or:e portion of the Press harl;dealt in oalumnies, others had not. He believed that the Public Press was never at a higher point than at present.; (From want of time we regret that we ,:antiot give the remainder of this speech at length.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then charged the Jury. After retiring half an hour, the Jury returned a writ ten verdict to the following effect That they found the defendant Guilty of publishing the libel, but in con sequence of the doubts they entertained of his participation in the guilt of it, they begged leave to recommend him to the merciful consideration of the Court." Mr. ATTORNEY- GENERAL addressed the Jury, and ob served that the verdict and their recommendation was so completely in unison with his own feelings, that he had treat pleasure in forwarding their recommendation to tl e Lord Chancellor. Ile also felt it right to observe that the verdict, and the course pursued by Mr. Bell, in hie opinion, paid a great compliment to the talent, the gentle manly feeling, and the moderation of that. gentleman.

By a ship which has arrived here in 18 days from Alexandria, we have the confirmation of the intelli gence of which we have already spoken, that the Turk ish men-of-war, which have been atianchor ever since their escape from the battle of Navarin, are to return to Constantinople. The whole squadron was about to put to sea when the above ship sailed. An Austrian bark belonging to the squadron off Tangier, bound from Algesiras to Venice, arrived in Pirana yesterday. Letters from Venice say, that the differences be tween our Cou rt and the Emperor of Morocco have been adjusted by the interposition of England, and that the Austrian squadron is on its return home. ODESSA, NOV. 28. A very high wind has hitherto kept the Turkish Ambassadors on board their ships, which lie at anchor at some distance from our harbour. PETDRSBURGIT, DEC. 9. His Majesty has been pleased to give his sanc tion to a resolution taken by the Council of the Empire, at the proposal of the Minister of Finance, for the formation of a Council of Commerce in this capital, with branches depending en it at Moscow, Riga, Archangel, Odessa, Taganrog, and wherever they may in future be judged necessary. Princa Chosrew Mirza, with his suite, and accompanied by General Rennenkampf, arrived on the 21st ult. at Tula, where he visited the public masquerade, the manufactory of small arms, the theatre, &c. Private letters from KischenetT, in Bessarabia, of 26th November, announce that on that day a very severe shock of an earthquake was felt there, which continued about three minutes. Almost all th e buildings are damaged, chimnies thrown down, and the main walls of several houses shaken to the foundation. A similar shock was felt on the same day at Dubossary, at three in the afternoon, which lasted four minutes, and was accompanied by a subterraneous noise. The doors flew open, the plaster fell from the ceilings, &c. FRANKFORT, DEC. 16. It is reported at Cologne, that the free nariga ion of the Rhine will commence on the Ist March 'ext. By the Brussels Papers we perceive that the KING'S attempt to subvert the liberty of the Press begins to re-act upon himself—the States General have rejected one budget, and the Mi nister withdrew the other in a huff ! THE HAGUE, DEC. 19. SITTING OF Tnu SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. His Excellency the Minister of Finance and 107 Members present. The Order of tl►e Day was the continuation of the debate on several laws relative to the Budget. Several Members having delivered their sentiments, and the Minister of Finance having replied in de fence of the proposed law, they were severally put to the vote : That for the expenses of the Decennial Budget was adopted by 61 votes to 46.—(Cries of "Bravo !" from the galleries.) . That on the ways and means of the Decennial Budget was rejected by 55 votes to 52. That on the National Debt for ten years was adopted by 88 votes to 19. The annual Budget of the expenditure for 1830, was adopted by 54 votes to 53. His Excellency, the Minister of Finance, with drew, in the King's name, the Budget of thelVays and Means for 1830, because it is intimately con nected with the rejected Budget of the decennial receipt. The law relative to the payment of the Public Debt for 1830 was adopted by 103 votes to four. The sitting was adjourned Co Monday, to receive a Royal Message. BRUSSELS, DEC. 22. Some time ago we announced that it was in con enriplation to suppress two Universities ; the Jour nal of tke province of Liege says, it seems certain that this suppression will fall on the Universities of Utrecht and Louvain, the latter city would, as a compensation, become the next seat of the High Court of Justice. It is to be observed, however, that all the six universities of the kingdom have their place in the Decennial Budget. The prosecution of the Morning Journal, 1, T by the L ORD CHANCELLOR, has had the effect of negativing, by the verdict of a jury, the im putations made against his Lordship relative to the Solicitor-GemeralshiP—which we may safely say were never at any time believed by any indi vidual who really knew any thing of what was going on in the world. Of th e expediency of the proceeding it is superfluous to speak now wee it • and of the reference of the Alleged libel to the Lunt) CHANCELLOR, the most noble and Icat tied witnesses called for the prosecution appear to have perfectly satisfied the jury, and we have no desire to impugn then verdict. A cm ious historical fact was alluded to by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, illustrative of the power supposed to be possessed by our earl) Kings of restraining objectionable publications . The first printing-press was introduced into this country by HENRY the SEVENTH, who claimed on that account the privilege of preventing any interference with the right thus acquired by the KING, as it were, by copyright or patent. This was the sole foundation on which the right of censor ship rested—a right which under the STUARTS had almost become part of the law of the land— mail it was happily overthrown at the revolution of 1688. The common law contains no traces of such a right—nor could it, inasmuch as it is of so much higher antiquity than the art of printing. It is not very easy to reconcile the eulogiums of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL upon the salu tary influence of the Press on public and private conduct—an influence which, he says, is increas ing with the increasing education and intellect of the nations of Europe—with the avowal of the Learned Gentleman, that " he is one of those " who think, and have frequently thought at " various periods within the last ten years, that " the licence of the Press has been too much " unrestrained, and that the use of the Press " would have been better preserved if some " what more of wholesome correction had been " exercised over it." The meaning of this is, that some other tribunal than a Jury is required for the repression of libels, or probably that Sir JAMES SCARLETT would be glad to see the repeal of Mr. Fox's inestimable Act, which gives to Juries the decisio❑ both of law and fact in cases of libel. However, the insinuations of lawyers are not likely to persuade the public that their rights can be in safer keeping than in that of jurymen, to whom the LORD CHANCELLOR himself has in this instance shown no disincli nation to resort for the protection of his honour and reputation. It is hardly necessary to observe that the eminence Sir EDWARD StIGDEN has at tained, at the Chancery bar, is a simple and sufficient reason for his having been appointed Solicitor-General, without resorting to any such absurd surmises as those of the Morning Jour nal. It is in evidence that the patronage of this office does not rest with the CHANCELLOR any further than his mere opinion of the candidate's fitness goes. And whether there be any foun dation or not for the rumours, according to which " !Es in presenti" would not have been unac ceptable;even to an individual enjoying so large an income as the Keeper of the King's Conscience, we believe that Learned Personage would, at all periods of his career, have spurned with indigna tion the most distant idea of tainting the fountains of justice, of whose purity he is the especial guardian. The LORD CHANCELLOR is a man of honour and a gentleman; and we venture to say there is:not a member of the bar, to whom he is best known, who did not treat this charge with ridicule the moment he heard it. That it was necessary for the vindication of the reputation of the LORD CHANCELLOR, or the Duke of WELLINGTON, to carry to trial the several informations with which the Morning Journal has been visited, we do not be lieve. But if there were persons so badly informed as to require to be convinced in this manner of the utter groundlessness of this, and a multitude of equally absurd reports which were circulated during the last Session of Parlia ment, they will now be effectually silenced. As saults upon private character unfortunately inte rest the public too much to enable some journals to withstand the temptation of making them ; but attacks of such a kind we hold to be disgraceful at all times to the character of the Press. We have never allowed our columns to be a vehicle for them ; nor shall they ever be perverted by practices which are the abomination of persons of right feeling throughout the whole kingdom. We had written thus far yesterday, when be hold two more prosecutions were instituted, and two more verdicts obtained, against the same per- secuted individuals. We say " persecuted," for such is now the public opinion,—and now—even now — a fourth prosecution is announced this morning against the hunted quarry of yesterday, and the convicted of the day before ! Mercy on us ! Why, is it not enough that the victim is killed, but he must be quartered also ? That the law is strong we know—would it were merciful ! What does his Majesty's ATTORNEY-GE NERAL mean ? How far does he intend to proceed ? If vengeance be his object, is not the offender already within his clutches for every purpose short of immolation ? Is it wisdom to run the race of persecution against the same victim till public feeling re volts at the stern course of justice, and sym —we are sure the public generally think so ; Ind we know his Majesty's Government will think so herellicr, if they do not begin to fe , t already in the altered sentiments of those. ,vllO wish well to their administration, be cause they are believed to be sincere in their endeavours to benefit the country. On this be ief—and what a memorable proof does Ca tholic Emancipation hold forth—tee hare given our honest support tolMinisters, in common with that portion of the Press, by fur the greater— which is termed liberal;—and we shall continue to give that support, however humble, so long AS we can conscientiously do so ; but we implore the Duke of WELLINGTON, as he regards his own fame—to spare the liberty of the Press from the kind protection of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, fSir JAMES SCARLETT intends to put in practice HIS views of what that liberty should consist. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S opinion of what that liberty should be is on record, but we hope it will never be sanctioned by an Act of Parliament. Indeed, we have no predilection for any new law for the professed improvemeht of the Press—that shall emanate entirely from any lawyer holding the office, and entertaining the sentiments of the present ATTORNEY-GE NERAL with respect to the law of libel. Bad as the present law is—and the practice affords most melancholy proof !—we prefer it, with all its torturing capability of application, and erra tic departure from the standard of truth, to any new law of restraint—however kind in intention and considerate in its provisions—which shall emanate from such a quarter. The Duke of WELLINGTON has nothing to fear from the Press, and wherefore should he coun tenance its continued prosecution, if not degrada tion ? That the ATTORNEY-GENERAL has nothing to fear from the Press, we know too well, for in his official capacity he despises it ; but why should even he wish to persecute it unto the death ? For what man owes more to the fostering attention of a free Press than Sir JAMES SCARLETT ?—What lawyer has more deserved it ? And can Sir JAMES, now in the zenith of his power, desire to subvert that organ to which he owes so fair a portion of his fame ? For his own sake, we hope not,—for the sake of the liberty of the Press, we hope not—and above all, for the honour, the character, and the glory of a free people, whose proudest inheritance is a Free Press, we hope not, though we almost begin to tremble in the fervency of our aspirations ! If, then, the Duke of WELLINGTON scorns, and we are sure his great heart must scorn such a system of ungenerous persecution,—will he permit to be done by deputy that which is so repugnant to his noble nature ? Another ver dict must answer !—and yet another ! Oh, dear-bought liberty of England's Press ! How dear art thou, yet dearer still to us If we Intuit loss thee ! THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAT.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The Legislature of North Carolina assembled on the 18th November, and the Governor's Message was commu nicated on the following day.

SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It will he seen by our law report of yesterday, that two other verdicts—or we should rather say, me and a half—of " Guilty," have been found Ind recorded against the persons connected with •he Morning Journal. Respecting the libel on the Lord Chancellor, there could not be two opinions ; and the prompt decision cfthe Jury, tccording perfectly with the convictions with which every one has since risen from reading the report, showed that not a doubt existed. The writings brought to judgment yeAerday arc of a very different character, and we coulees we are surprised that the Juries, particularly the last, have decided as they have done. Unhappily. the current had set strongly against the defendant Alexander on the first day, and it required greater powers than his to stop its sway, or ar rest its course ! To say that any individual of his Majesty's Government has sold or bartered for loans the patronage of his office, is libellous clearly,—is personally libellous,—if the charge cannot be proved ; but it is within the just tein! , e of political reasoning to assert, that the whole Government manages the affairs of the country in such a manner as to render their Royal Master, who ought to he the object of public veneration, unpopular ; for the country is our own, and we have a right to speak of the ad ministration of its affairs as we feel and believe. If the writer's conviction be erroneous, the error will fall back upon his own head. Ile will gain no ground,—he will make no partisans : he will, on the contrary, lose his supporters : that will be his punishment. If, on the contrary; the fact. be that the Icing is unpopular th roug h th e public measures of his Ministers, how is he to know it but by some expression of public opinion ? A distinction has been drawn between the oppo,i tion to a law whilst in progrevs, and the rimr,- bation of it when carried and completed. It may, no doubt, be very prudent and considerate, arter a measure by which great popular ferment has been created is effected, to suffer the passions to subside a while, before the attack be renewed : nor do we ordinarily see any great use in pro. tracting the contest at that time, because the same force which has carried the measure re maining in statu quo, can of course uphold if. But if nothing which has once become a law be allowed to be attacked, how are any improve ments in our Constitution to take place ? I-low are any barbarous statutes to be erased? Why have we not the laws against witchcraft ? and the trial by fire? How came the very law ii, question, which repealed other laws, to be passed ? We are somewhat surprised that the Court received the first verdict of yesterday : it was not, we humbly think, in accordance with the information : this charged the defendants with publishing a libel, tending to bring hie Majesty's Government into contempt : that found the defendants "guilty of a libel on his Majesty, but not on his Majesty's Ministers." We have no doubt but that such a verdict might be set aside on argument, were it not. that the humane recommendation of the Jury will probably render such a course unnecessar, The law of tendency to bring a Government. into hatred or contempt, has been rejected from the French code, why should it be in practice here ? The second verdict of yesterday is one of unqualified " guilty," and therefore, we think, of unqualified error. But it was a grievous mis fortune for such a man as Mr. Alexander to at tempt the pleading of his own cause, and i. hope the Court will consider this in the semen( c. I to is below public resentment, or else the coun try would not so easily forgive him the blow which his silly vanity has inflicted on the liberty of the press.— Times. The late Sovereign of France, who was gene rally allowed to possess a tolerable share of shrewdness, and who had a great dislike of mea sures of a severe complexion, when pressed on one occasion by some of his Ultra-Councillors to consent to a proscription of the Liberals, by way of ridding himself of them, is said in answer, to have told the story of an Italian Abbe, who, after partaking rather too freely of the juice of the grape, on mounting his mule lost his balance, which he could not of himself regain. Re questing the aid of a friend, the latter applying more force than was necessary, threw him nearly under the mule's belly on the opposite aide. On which the good Abbe exclaimed, Caro amico mio, troppo e troppo. The Attorney-General has this day obtained two more verdicts against the Morning Journal ; and we should suppose there are few dispassionate persons who will not feel disposed to admit that there has been too much of this. It is for the Duke of Wellington to consider whether the Attorney-General may not serve him like the friend of the Italian Abbe. In the second case, the .Jury, after an absence of three hours, returned this verdict—" 'We find the defendants guilty of a libel on his Majesty, but we do not find them guilty of a libel on his Majesty's Ministers. NN:e also beg to state it as our opinion, that the article in question was written under feelings of very great excitation, occasioned by the unprecedented agitation of the time; we, therefore, most earnestly beg to recommend all the defendants to the merciful consideration of the Court." The libel on his Majesty is a statement which surely did not require to be refuted by an Attorney-Gene ral and Jury, for it refutes itself. His Majesty is represented in the paragraph as hav ing been till then a popular Monarch ; as over flowing with goodness, kind to excess, fondly attached to his subjects, and paternally anxious to see them all prosperous and happy ; and at the same time he is represented as so weak and worthless as to allow himself to be in a state of subserviency of the most degrading kind. It is not contended in the paragraph that his Ma jesty was placed under any degree of restraint, and the R eak ess imputed to him is, therefore, incompatible with the character just before given to him, and with the hopes expressed with respect to his future strength and intrepidity. The libel is, therefore, neither more nor less than a piece of nonsense. His Majesty could have no reasons personal to himself for either ap proving or disapproving of the measures Of his Ministers ; lie might, consistently enough, have entertained the doubts as to the wisdom of the measure, and yet have conceived himself bound to defer to the opinions of men in whose judg ment, with regard to the management of the affairs of the nation, he could confide. A King must be governed by circumstances like other men. He holds his power in trust for the benefit of the nation ; and if it should appear to him on any occasion that the Lords and Commons are disposed to support the course which his Mini sters recommend, it can be no reproach that lie sacrifices his own opinion to that of his Mini sters. There is no disgrace in ths, but ‘vis dom ; for a Sovereign is bound to sanction the measures of his Ministers; and though he may withdraw his confidence from them, and give it to others, yet, taking the eircumstaneeS of the ountry into consideration, he mac think that

another Ministry would not possess the: confi dence of Parliament, and that more him than good would result from the change. Political fear, however, is quite distinct from personal thraldom, which carries absurdity on the face of it. Lord Sidmouth, between whose 'cast- of mind and that of Sir James Scarlett, there seems a good deal of similarity, conceived that the licence of preaching was carried too far in this country ; and in order that the good preachers of the Gospel might not be brought into dis credit by the bad, he proposed to subject the pulpit to certain restraints. He reasoned like Sir James, that the hearers of a minister gene- rally took their creed from him ; and as when Thinking men heard Ministers improperly qualified deliver absurdities to their flocks, which the latter implicitely swallowed, all Ministers what - ever were held in discredit by them, In spite, however, of the ravings of Johanna Southcote, ' and many other teachers of the same kidney, the -.nation did not appear to relish this Ministerial -,,n - eide of purifying the Pulpit, and the attempt was abandoned. It would, no doubt, be very advantageous to have nothing but absolute wis dom from the Pulpit, and it would be equally advanta /eons to have nothing but absolute wisdom from the Press; but even in the glorious days of Addison and Sir Richard Steele, to which Sir James Scarlett referred us, there was abundance both of factious and absurd writing, and there were Attorney-Generals of that day to bring an abler and more ingenious man than either of them to the pillory. The age of Ad dison was also the age of John Dunton, and many where, of the same kidney ; so the glori ous system of coercion on which the Attorney- General relies for the improvement of the Press, does not seem to have been then productive of Fo much good as he would have us to believe it is oow calculated to produce. There ought un querstiorrably to be limits set to the circulation of slander egainst individuals ; but who is there who can allow himself seriously to believe that the so called libel on his Majesty amounted to slander in any sense, either against his Majesty or his Majesty's Ministers ? The paragraph is the production of a writer who, at the time, was eii4ently above descending to the humble consideration of the consistency of what he was writing. But, good God, what a remedy I The next libel, as it is called, is charged with bringing Ministers and the House. of Commons into contempt. Alas ! that we should fall on t i mes :ellen the Ministry can see no other way of securing themselves from the effect of such writing, but bringing the writers before a Jure. " I may he mention it as a fact (said Sir James Scarlett), that during the period that Ow question was before Parliament, full and un bosi-A:Jed license was given to the Press—no notice eras taken of the most virulent and bit• ter attacks which issued from it. The motives of public men were calumniated, private charac ter was assailed, and the libellers were suffered to go unpunished. When, however, the Bill had p a ssed into a law, forbearance 01114 no longer be e xercised, and I have now laid before you a s p ee ii ae it of the mode in which some writers could continue political discussion." And why can forbearance no longer be exercised ? Be cause the period of .eacitement being over, the public would be indifferent to the unseasonable attempts ? Or because, thou& the attempts would now produce little effect, they afforded 3 handle for paying off old scores? Indeed, ins aced, Sir James, this is a wretched excuse for a course of policy unworthy of any administration, and a very - different course from that which, under a former Administration, concerted both Oppo position and Opposition writers ilito approvers of the Government. But, perhaps, it is wished to have an Opposition. No doubt an Attorneys General will make bitneelf more talked of by treading in the steps of Gibbs; And Percival than dial Copley. But it will be seen whether Mi nisters will gain by what makes their eervent.— Morning Chronicle. The Proprietors of this Journal, as will be seen by the reports of the trials, have been found guilty before three several Juries of publishing libels having tendency to bring his Majesty and his Majesty's Government into contempt. We must, therefore, how to the decision of these Juries, and abide the coaaseq.ucices of the judg ments of the Court. But what a lesetan do these proceedings teach to the nation et large ! We have before expressed our opinion es to tilae increase of arbitrary power and oppressive mea sures, instituted by an imperious Minister, a liberal Government, and conducted by a Whig Attorney-General ; but these trials—theserusade .against the public journals—prove to demon eassition that vindictive prosecutions arc . the telexes resorted to to stifle public opinion, and eceituse the press of this once free country to the quiescent, convenient, and degradinz jevel of the journals in the most arbitrary Statze of, Europe. To the eternal disgrace of English Lw and English liberty, truth—the sacred truth —is declared to be a libel, But it is not the truth only which in these liberal times is de clared to be libellous. Strictures on public measures directed against men who are die , servants of the State, and who for these services are paid salaries out of the taxes of a cruelly oppressed and embarrassed people —these strictures and censures are 11614' to be pinhibited. Fine and imprisonment—cold water Intl a dungeon—are hereafter to be the correctives of honest, manly, and indspendent opinions, aria twthing is to be tolerated but the slavering panegy‘ers of courtly scribes and the paltry minions of the Treasury. The Duke of Wellington and his needy adherents are to be held sacred in public opinion at tlaa hazard of mulct and incarceration. No opinion is La he passed upon his consistency, his piety, his chas tity, his honesty, or his patriotism. Even his virtues must not he praised lest the should entertain an idea that these compliments are iro mita, We must all bend before the Image of iron spoken of by Daniel, the Pessphet, and Daniel, the llaember for Clare. It it nssly declared to be law, even by Lord Tenterden, that all animadversion ppon the good or bad measures of the Miruster,all opposition to his plans—all reprehension icof Pl 3 po licy—all honest doubts as to his wi..4i,oxr.f—, are dangerous libels having a tendency to bring his Majesty's Government into contempt. — Good heaven! is it in England that these sen timents are recorded as being founded upon the pure and equitable law of the land 4 beggar is not to be called a beggar, a bankrupt is no,t to be called a bankrupt, the necessities of a needy Judge are not to be spoken of, execu tions and distraints in houses of official men are not to be alluded to in the most distant manner, the poor only are to be laughed at, the unpro tected only are to be condemned, apostacy is ; word which it is deemed criminal to pronounce, or, if you do, certain bankers will be called upon to convict you as a libeller and a political felon. The present proceedings may be taken . as a fair specimen of the anxiety and exertions the present Government to enforce these new and most liberal opinions. Think only of the array of legal talent congregated on one bench to obtain tire conviction of one man ! How degrading to see an Attorney-General sneer ing at the birth-place of an humble defendant, merely because he had the misfortune to be a native of Scotland ! And yet the man who in dulged in this mean and dishonourable sneer is himself a West Indian Creole, whose notions of liberty were inspired by the cracks of a whip in Jamaica, whose Opinions are emanations of the slave code, whose ideas of moderation are limited to the stocks, and a constitutional flogging for nine successive mornings—to hear this man sneering, in the most vulgar tone, about the nativity of any man is enough to make a dark slave-woman pale, and a white man black as the face of his African ancestors. But let us look at the grand legal array. On these pro ceedings there were congregated on the side of the Crown— Sir JAMES SCARLETT, Attorney-General. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, Solicitor-General. Mr. GURNEY, tie elder, King's Counsel. Mr. 'Unity BitouGuam, King's Counsel. Mr. Atnzusox. Mr. WIGHTUAN. Only look at this list, curious reader ! Mr. Gurney assisting Mr. Scarlett—Mr. Brougham retained for the Crown—Sir Edward Sugden retained for himself, and required to give evi dence in behalf of the Solicitor-General. The first-mentioned venerable and disc7eet personage holding up the tail of the garment of the Attor ney-General, who can undoubtedly procure briefs for his amiable and Learned Son ! What was he doing there ? Had he no grand-children to nurse—no coterie of old women to lecture —no psalmody to grind to grey maidens at a love-feast ? Of what utility were his nods and smiles—his rudeness and his roughness—his notes of advice, his looks of censure, and his bows of satisfaction and self-sufficiency ? Pshaw ! —they were sickening ! Then, again, was the late Queen's Attorney-General, with his silk gown and his patent of precedency. Mr. Brougham never appeared. in so humbling a position. Did he appear as the King's advocate ? No, no ; he felt all the embarrassment of his situation. His pride recoiled from the task. The patronage of Sir James Scarlett was wormwood to his ambition. The visions of former scenes, of nobler sentiments, of prouder days, of better feelings, of more empassioned and independent sentiments, fleeted past a . mind naturally honour able and sensitive. He was in a new and an unhappy position, and was much more an ob ject of pity to his friends than of condemnation by his enemies. His private sentiments were on our side—his declared and oft-repeated senti tnents are with us—and it was therefore painful to see him, who had himself professionally libelled and vilified his Majesty, in the ranks of those who, from the most pule and virtuous mo tives, were the guardians of the Court, and the censors of pretended attacks upon the King and his Ministers. When so many learned persons ware filed together in such a cause, the object of which was the ruin of one humble and ob scnre individual, what must we think of the inherent strength, the invulnerable cha racter, and the just and beneficial mea sures of the Members of the Government? Alas! alas ! there never was stiCh an exhibition in a court of justice. The times have undergone a changes, indeed, when so much learning and talent are required to accomplish the ruin of the conductor of a newspaper, This we fear will prove a fatal blow to the liberty of the press. It would he much better to establish a censorship at once. It would be much better to confine public opinion to the club-houses and coffee rooms, ai - 4; het public indignation have vent in oral essays in pr4r,ence to written or printed disquisitions. the liberty of the press is at an end ; and so are all the rights and privileges of the people unless a speedy and an entire change take p!Acs. in his Majesty's advisers.—Morning Journal.

We Mentioned yesterday Alat the high character of the Lord Chancellor ought io )have,si:ielded him from any evil consequences which the libel upon him in the Morning Journal was calculated to produce—for we do not deny that it was a libel, according to the most approved interpretation of the law—and we shall observe of the second prosecution that but for the concomitant circumstance of the first verdict, it could not have been construed into a libel. The Jury seems to have par ticipated in this sentiment ; for after. be tween two and three hours' deliberation, it found " the defendants Guilty of a libel upon his Majesty, but Not Guilty of a libel on his Majesty's Ministers ; and the Jury take this opportunity of strongly recommending the de fendants to the merciful consideration of the Court, as they are unanimously of opinion, that the libel was written at a period of strong public excitement." From this verdict Sir James Scarlett might have taken a hint that so many prosecutions against the same Paper, and against the same parties, -vere by no means likely to be well received by the public ; but no !—he immediately brought the defen dants to trial on a third indictment—and again they were found guilty ! What is the meaning, let us ask, of such determination to interfere with the Liberty of the Press ? Could his Majesty suffer in character from a paragraph such as that which formed the ground of the ex officio information ? Is the Duke of Wellington so unpopular that every squib that is fired off at him must be taken notice of lest worse things should be said of him ? We be lieve neither the one nor the other, and we think, in consequence, that little service has been rendered either to his Majesty, or his Ma jesty's Government, by such proceedings—that the effect of the trials will be to prejudice the mind of the public against both—and that the general opinion will be, that the greatest right enjoyed by the country—the Liberty of the Press--is one which the present Govern ment does not hold in the greatest possible reverence. Far be such thoughts from us ! We speak of the matter simply as one of po licy ; but we cannot help remarking at the same time, that the present period will be long remembered as one distinguished for ex-officio informations ; and that the Govern ment of the Duke of Wellington might well have been distinguished by much nobler recol lections. The ex-officio mode of proceeding. against newspapers, for libels, has been often de precated by the wisest and the best lawyers whom the country. has ever known ; and we consider it peculiarly unfortunate that it should have been reserved for the Government of the Duke of Wellington to be distinguished by so many un popular acts of this kind. In the most perilous times, during the last half century, the Law Officers of the Crown had scarcely ever recourse to such procedure, but merely left the law to take its ordinary course, from a conviction of its unpopularity. During the period that Mr. Justice Garrow was Attorney-General he never filed an ex-officio information, though often recommended to do so by busy political meddlers ; nor did he in a single instance prosecute the Press for any libel whatever ; and yet the Press, according to legal phraseology, did not become " licentious"—the Constitution remained unimpaired—the Government secure— and the Sovereign revered and venerated ! It is rather a singular coincidence also, that while prosecutions against the Press, for libels, are going on in this country, the Government of the Netherlands are imposing additional restric tions on the Press of that kingdom ; and that the Government of France are pursuing the editors, proprietors, and printers and publishers, of newspapers, not to the death—which they cannot—but to the utmost extent of the law— to fine and to deprivation of personal liberty !. There are such crises--or rather coincidences— in the affairs or history of nations. The Duke of Wellington, we are certain, is no party to such transactions—the Earl of Aberdeen is too liberal and too high-minded, to regard such matters ; and we know no one who has been so much obliged to the Press for his reputation as Sir James Scarlett. Who than, has 'prompted 'hew prosecutions ?—Morning Advertiser. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

Dr, 131undell hitiasetf reeended him to buy a horse, and to ride; he was 6'44 41414 the road; a jingling,cart came at a sharp pace after., him, and he was afraid that his horse might be Startie4. ,T!fow 1 know many excellent horsemen, k.-rd . . and as fearlessly as any. get 'he couhtry, but who are so timid ,oir;ilni; p r n the stone,, 1 . - 4 r vicinity of Lofidoh, thaiihri make. , it a rule never to #404.t 4Pisp in qeh 1 3 . 1 a4 1 - Th'ey arc not accustomed to tn6et, to pe.sß, of tope passed by such or so many vehicles on a hard road, „t4olir this is precisely the account which Mr. Darien him- self gave of the transaction yesterday. But to re turn' to Piper : he, after much leading and driving, for' my Leappi Friends tried both modes with their witnesses, '161:1' you tk,;;:, was not safe to trust Mr. Davies with fire-urina; Tiris ;3 C.:-1 61,4 ,c;, - ;,t i ld get oat of Mr. Piper; and what dOesit amount to? Why, that it is not safe to trust a nervous man With such weapons, arul I am perfectly ready tc at, l 4*.t that ii is‘nOt.' 13tit 'docteis are 4: - ..a.4ght here to tell 1;Q.; ap also -- to tell' yOu that ve l hich every man of common sense •knew:e.. Qne wou ld i suppose that these gentlemen wished to monopoltxe all the soundness of intellect as well as the cure of all the unsound intellects. Then we come to David 4on, the 11;1;c-dresser. His great reason for doubt th'e - liitsoya4nes c.f Mr, Davies's mind was, that, Mr, Davies sat with tbe•witide.n , ;:p in the sultry ni.!%.nth of June, owl' that the company at Ep som races pleased hint itittifi, than the races them selves. This worthy person, too, tad you about story which he says Mr. Davies told him. What ' was it ? Mr. Davies saw a lady get out o f h e r carriage and );)oit towards him. What then 2—why rite lady walked way. What next ?—she beckoned her coachman, and then—what ?--she got into her coach again ?—(Laughter.)—Now is L ot this: wonderful story, from one of the most :loquacious and communicative class of his Majesty's subjects ? Then he dealt a great deal in the common Slang or all the witnesses—excitement, irritation, stud the like--and at last he came to the conclusion that Mr. Davies cannot be sane, because he did not happen to have a sixpence in his pocket. Next were called several witness from Furnival's-inn. What were they asked ? Why, whether they would trust Mr. Davies to transact any important business of theirs ? They answered no. But is the sanity of a nervous and irritated man to be proved only by bringing the waiter, the porter, the boots of an inn, to swear that they would be content to trust him with the conduct of their very important concerns ? Is the Guilty of such a man to he established by getting such persons to swear that they would not so trust him ? I hope not—for few angry men will stand such a test. Then there was Mr. Han key. Now I beg you to recollect, that the case I opened to you was, that Mr. Davies was a ner vous man, a man of peculiar habits and conversa tion. Mr. Mulkey knew nothing about the charac ter of Mr. Davies, and he therefore comes under the class of ignorant and incapable witnesses. At what time does he see Mr. Davies ? Why at a time when he is hurried and irritated—at a time when his mother has just raised a suspicion of his sanity. Coming front the excitement of the tea exchange into Mr. Hankey's banking-house, his cheque is refused. He sees the clerk and the cashier whispering together. What could be ex pected from a man so situated ? Announced as a madman, with the terrors of a lunatic asylum before his eyes, with his credit as a tradesman blasted by the refusal of his cheque—in this condition he goes into Mr. Hankey's room. He takes hold of Mr. Mulkey to prevent that gentleman going out : he says " I beg that you will stay and hear me; I must have some conversation with you;" and this it is which Mr. Hankey exaggerates into a forcible hold ing. Much more might be excused in a man who had so many causes for anger, for irritation, and for excitement. Such, however, is the class of wit nesses produced. If the other side wanted to lay before you all the facts of the case, why did they call such persons, and neglect to call others ? Where is Mr. Lowe? where is young George Bywater? where is Richard Dobson, who was the bearer of all the communications to Portland-place ? Why are not these called ? Their evidence would show that Mr. Davies was capable of managing his own affairs; and there would . be An end of all that reckless dilapidation of Mr. Davies's: property, which, at the rate of scores, I will not say hundreds, has been perpetrated for weeks past, to the astonishment of an indignant public. I say that the persons who have instituted these proceedings, show, by their conduct, that they care nothing about the justice or the fairness of the case. Such, however, shall not be my conduct. I complain that these persons have not been c.illed; but called they shall be, for if you think it necessary to go on, I will call them every one. You shall see the servants, you shall see the clerks of Mr. Davies. They shall tell you what Mr. Davies was; and they shall tell you what difference was apparent in his conduct at another period : they shall account for that differ ence : they shall explain to you that the cause of it is to be found in the unhappy differences that existed between Mr. Davies and Mrs. Bywater. Though my learned friends have ,not enabled you to judge fairly of this case, I will. You will find that Mrs. Bywater has treated her son in a manner which might have been very proper if he had always re mained a child, but which became perfectly intoler able to a man at the head of a large and flourishing business. Power is sweet to man, and not, I be lieve, bitter to women. Whether she was taken with sweets, or whether, for some other reason, she did not choose to relinquish the power she had held, and she continued to exercise it much longer than in proper decency she ought to have attempted to con tinue her reign, I shall now show you that she treated him like a child; that she interfered in every department of the business, except, indeed, that she did not mix in the riot and bustle of the tea-ex change; that she assumed control in all things; that she dismissed his servants without his leave; that she would not allow him even to manage his own pocket money ; that his time was not his own, for that he was obliged to account for every day, nay, for every evening that lie spent from home. In conclusion, she wanted a share of the business, and demanded that she might be taken into the firm; but this Mr. Davies refused. This has been the conduct of Mrs. Bywater; and flans sure you will agree with me, that it is such as no one with the ordinary feelings of a man could or would endure. And if so,—then, I pray you, how near was irritation—at how great a distance was excitement I do not want the opi nion of a mad-doctor on such a subject. I say, that when affection is succeeded by coldness, and by a quarrel, it must be that irritation and 'excitement will ensue. Then followed the proceedings at Crouch-hill and at Portland-place, all of which were the natural. consequences of that exacerbation 'of feeling which I have described. And now I come to Mrs. Brookabank's testimony. I wish to say nothing harsh of her. it may be that the leans towards her sister. [Here the Learned Counsel proseetlad at great length to point out discrepancies in several parts of ?Irsi. -Afoulssisank's evidence, showing, at the same time, that she could know little about Mr. Davie, or his mother's treatment of -him, since she admitted that he had dined at their house only twice in seven years. The Learned Counsel also, after pronotincing a high eulogiorn on the sotid4et of M. Holder, and on the manner in which he had given his evidence, proceeded to speak of . another witness, Mrs. Wardell.] As to Mrs. Wardell, as she is corroborated by no one, let us see how much of her evidence you can believe.— Mrs.Wardell swears to the story you recollect about Mr. Davies suing that he was the "Now, of God, and that lie 1144 tinti up to tfeavra ! Now, among I mad people, this is a common delnsion; bat mark, in Mr. Davies's case it occurs but once ; never more —only one person speaks of it. There is a species's' of madness called monomania—which means mad.•' ti;;; t! i pon one particular subject only. Many per sons are so a4lcfed ; but if they are, however sane they may be On other matters, however ratjonally they may be conversing,yertosichbut for an instant , on this subject, and away go sanity, reason, in tellests, every thing, and the bedlamite stands con slessesi. Thia ieinvariably the case ; it is the cha s sacteeistio.tif the unseaSit, :And !et milly hate gone, over this ground with Mr. Davies, and have dis covered no delusion of the kind. He touched upon it to no one but Mrs. Wardell, and that only once. Now which- will you believe ?—that a case which no Roe 94'7,2r:fore heard of ha: come within the cingwar experre`fice " of ties. iisse s s;;; o F will you ".believeOtien ha'pp'en has happened here, 4rnely; that a• witness basr stirlorn' that which la fiat ,tpe Learped Counsel here Went t hrougji various sitner p4r141 o' to gttvws testi mony, and said that he should call witnesses tocliS ; ! prove them.)—l am now come to speak of the testimony of the medical men. I should approach t hi s part of the subject with some hesitatiort ss if I thought 6141, .;;; ipestion of this kind were to be de. eis4ed by leerniag 'anti expaiiii.* ; fi in medical affairs. The law has said that it shall be decided orirervii4, or you, Gentlemen, would not' be heie. The prii- Ceetringt tl.!if case, however, have' shown- on how • trO,Ltnds man may he arraigned for insanity, ssheiv;ng 'it is. The .. IkSW mis • eiptie it, to doubt; The pioql ;11 - 0 but that the law should long cOntititte io, after the disclosures thiS case has made, I hold to be a thing wholly improbable. Only see what a dreadful m achine is put in motion by a few lines, signed by tw o - tn,;:tiicei yi4en. Any t.,vo medical men, with the conctiiio"ce of a'rehetioit or frieier, Or, indeed, of any perso9 choose to roatce himself respbw eibie—ka ;I is Int peCessa4 Cll4 the'perion'ihoulq have a relative —may a 414 to t h e " Retreat", at Claphain.. Then follows quisition at Crity's Inn Coffee-house, where all the man's most secret affairs, most private conversa tioPsi err laid open ; he is culled upon to account for every idle word, uttered in the - most unguarded hour, and, if he should be found to be of sound mind at last, he returns home ashamed, abashed, the town talk, and a beggar. His estate has been squandered away in proving that he is not mad.— Is not this a most frightful • picture ? It becomes more so by examination. You have seen on what light grounds this proceeding may be taken. — ow see to whom the power is intrusted, at least judge who they are, when you find that one of them will riot swear that he never certified respecting a man whom he had never seen.— Surely the alarm we feel at such a system cannot be allayed w hen we hear the refusal to answer such a question. Well, but the medical men came here to tell you that Mr. Davies is of un sound mind. They have told you so, and this would have been sufficient if we had not asked them why. Reasons from a man in authority are always dangerous. When he decides, by virtue of his authority, we bow to that authority ; but when he decides upon reasons, the case is different, for we then give no more credit to his opinion than corn. mon sense and common experience declare it to-be worth. Now, the bulk of the medical witnesses are persons connected with the treatment of insane persons. If I call them " mad doctors," it is only to avoid a tedious phrase, and not out of any disre spect to them. They are all of them liable to one observation, as all other men are who confine them selves to a particular corner of their respective pro fessions. In our profession, for instance, those men who confine themselves exclusively to one small part of it are never men of such great under standing, or of such strong reasoning powers, as others are who have devoted themselves to the liberal cultivation of all the branches of the pro fession. The same thing is true of the medical profession, whether we speak of auriets, or occu lists, or dentists. So it is with mad doctors. They are madmen-hunters, twist-finders, delusion-fanciers. Besides, there is a sort of fellow feeling among them : when one gets himself into a scrape, the others, if they are on friendly terms with him, have a tendency to help him out of it. Perhaps it is the same in other professions. It is the feeling of the craft, and I do riot, therefore, in dealing with their evidence, accuse them of perjury—no such thing : but I say, that they are biassed by their feelings and their interests, and that the consequence is the perversion of their judgments. We are not trying them on facts. If I am asked whether I will believe any of them upon a fact, I answer," Yes but I will riot give the same answer with respect to their opinion, to their judgment, or to the infe rences they draw from facts. Now let me observe gene rally, that many of these Learned Gentlemen con sider Mr. Davies mad, because he has what they call delusions. What are these delusions ? That he fancied he had a sore throat ? That he fancied he was controulled and ill-treated by his mother ? Yes; these are the two principal delusions. Sup pose I show that they are facts : that he had a sore threat, and that such was the conduct of his mother towards him,—what will you think of the doctors' testimony then ? What will you think of doctors who, finding that these things are not delusions, but facts, still obstinately persist in their former opi nion ? Now, with these observations, let us exa mine the evidence of the doctors. Dr. Latham saw Mr. Davies only on the 28th and 29th of July. He has never seen him since. He tells you that Mr. Davies seized him, and said, " Dread the vengeance of a madman, fur I carry pistols." Let us see if the doctor's recollection can be trusted. He swore to you that he thought Mr. Davies insane on the 29th of July. This is all. The Doctor made an affidavit three months ago, in which he deposed that Mr. Davies manifested such excitement, " as led him to the apprehension of his possible insanity, and that on the next day he was confirmed in his aforesaid apprehension." What apprehension ? Why, apprehension ef Mr. Davies's possible in sanity. And yet he now comes and swears that Ire thought him actually insane at that very time. That is to say, in his evidence he thought Mr. Davies ac tually insane ; in his affidavit he only had an appre hension of l‘lr. Davies's possible insanity. After this, can you trust this gentleman's recollection at all ? Then comes Dr. Davis, arid he has invented a new delusion. He talks of a delusion of manner.— This delusion is certainly not to be found in the law books, arid I will venture to say that you will search medical books for it iu vain. He says that Mr. Davies went from one subject to another, and that there was not any connection in his conversation. Lord bless us,Gentlem en, if this be madness, how many ram bling talkers will be sent to tire" Retreat" to-morrow He tells you that Mr. Davies used unnecessary em phasis and gesticulation. Lord bless us, again, Gen tlemen, if this be madness, I tremble for myself ; I tremble for many of my Learned Friends; I tremble for Dr. Hashim—no, I don't tremble for him, he is past praying for; and I have only to hope that mad doctors are like certain fishes, who make it a ride never to prey upon each other. Then comes Dr. Cobb. He says that Mr. Davies can manage his business, but not his general affairs. Now, this seems strange to an untutored mind—to the mind unused to the philosophy of madness. He tells you, too, that Mr. Davies may be allowed to wash, but not to shave himself, and Yet Dr. Burrows arid his keepers allowed him to shave himself. Then the Doctor tells you that Mr. Davies may be allowed a knife at dinner, arid then after drawing a delicate distinction between the operations of shaving and dining, between a knife and a rasor, lie adds, but " there should he a keeper by to see that he does no mischief with the knife." A keeper by —now, on this I asked him—" Did you advise that ?" He answered "No; I did not," Dr. Frampton thought Mr. Privies mlid because he would not go home to his mother : this is the first test. The next is what we, in law, call stultification, that is to say, Mr. Davies is marl now because lie will trot admit that he was mad at some preceding time. The Doctor told you that Mr. Davies was recovering; that in a short time this proceeding would he unnecessary, and that he tried to get him to admit that lie had been insane, in order to save expense. Now, Gen tlemen, there is too ways of saving expense here. The one is to take the money from the law, that there !wee be more for Dr. Burrows and his keepers; the other is—pr whim was- 7 40 spare these pro ceedings ; but they would not do. that, because then their prey would have escaped them, arid there would have been an end of their job. However, such was the test,—and yet Dr. Frampton admitted that, it Kr. reavies wei.e ne, hie t•efu.sal tp ac knowledge himself mad would be " Very proper. Then the Doctor told you that the purchase of Crouch-hill estate was a delusion ; but I will venture to say, that no madman that ever the "Retreat" or Bedlam saw, can have laboured under a greater dela tioa Peal Doetor manifested in what he said on this; subjeCt. I e foldyoU, gravely and seriously, that if a Man businese . Weei,'undeiany - cireuiristinices; to e ea w r n i et with lock up '6,0001. or 70001.'0f his capital, it would be s in aorof sadness. y q u recollect, tcio, what an swers 4ave to the questions '' 'lch n'L Friend Mr, Broderick put to him, about n certain incomes laying out certain sums of Money. You recollect he said that if men did so, they would commit acts of madness. But, besides the evidence cf these gentlemen, there have been put in and read home jet;er; or Mr. Davies's. They are ram• tiling letters,' if 'will; they r.re full of bad jokes—for I confess that Mr. Mivieer scent to have been a bad joker;—one of 'those; indeed;' in' whose trrGiith iskt.. , is no lab .ping Matter, and- they con -044) gi •itrcorreFt cfu t 1.4 tiolia. W6w, - let me rem i n d you, that incorrect quotat ccia are no proof of in sanity. You recollect that Mr. Wright, in examin ing Davies's i ci i tTot o ri n t e iot o l f s, t a i s re ked w t it h i a le t ts Ztn r e e s s s p s e v c i t i i e l ler one of those quotations was not from lerainlees soliloquy to the playere.lLaughtero—yoh, gentleinene' recollect the fact. - Now - '1 believe that if Mr. Davies had said` this, Sir C. Wetherell would hav e opened it— _ I thee after doctor would have followed upon the same scent — and that ,I should haveheen'ilew labouring to conviece you that the mistake did nut ainount to insanity. However, j am content that I AN . . you should take the letters as you find Zhete- \VEST will prove to you that, in letters, not nigi n , " t he • ters of business Mr: Davies always wilts ' P a w , &obi same style; and having proved this, IWEaf 1 - g° l 4iiei • w etly pay particular attention to one of those I _ A - si d . ' which, for manner, style, and feeling, is as euma i s 1 R as rational a letter on the subject, w hich' Is rc pt 0 I . light one, demanded. (The Learned Couesel O r ItatAl adverted to the evidence of Dr. Blundell arid of i l l i 1,2 1 5 0 E G. Tuthill.) I now pass on to Dr. Burrows.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 23. BUSINESS OF TIIE COURT. The King's warrant, authorising the Puisne Judges to sit in Banco in the Bail Court after term, was put in and read. The sittings were appointed from Monday, the 30th instant, to Wednesday, the 2d of December, and from Thursda, the 10th of December, t o 'Wednesday, th e 23d, - inclusive. Mr. Justice BAYLEY stated that the Judges pro posed to commence on Monday with the special paper, and to take the country new trials on Tues day, and continue them alternately, taking the spe cial paper cases on one day, and the country new trials the next day. If there were any cases that the parties should wish not to be brought on, applica tion must be made to the Court to postpone them. EX-PARTE SARAH ALSOP. This person, who had been convicted by. a Ma gistrate of Stafford, under the Act of 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 30, of a wilful trespass, in cutting a quantity of club-sticks, and committed to a month's hard labour in the House of Correction at Stafford, was brought up by habeas corpus, and discharged, on several objections taken by her Counsel,- Mr. E. V. Williams, to the commitment. The principal objection.wat, that the commitment contained no recital of the fact of conviction. FARREN V. KEMBLE (IN ERROR.) Mr. CAMPBELL stated, that in this case be had to Move for a rule to show cause why bail in error should not be dispensed with. An action had been brought into the Court of Common Pleas, by Mr. Charles Kemble, of Covent-garden Theatre, against Mr. Farren, the actor, for the breach of an agree ment, and at the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, some months ago, a verdict was found for the plain tiff for 7501. A bill of exceptions had been ten dered on the part of Mr. Farren, to the directions of the Learned Judge to the Jury, and a writ of error had been subsequently brought. The present ap plication was on the part of the plaintiff in error, for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why, upon payment into Court of the amount of damages and taxed costs, together with such sum as the Master should think reasonable for the costs in error, bail in error should not be dispensed with.— Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 23. JARVIS V SALMON. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Serjeant Wilde, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the defendant should not be discharged out of custody upon filing common bail, on the ground that, having been declared a bankrupt in Ireland, he came over here on the ex press promise in writing that he should not be ar rested for the English debts; but no sooner had he come than he was inveigled to the office of the plain tilfs attorney, and there arrested. Mr. Serjeant Spankie contended, that as the defendant had not come over when invited to do so on the above terms, but waited until three months afterwards, when he had no other business of his own to bring him, be had no right to c l a i m t h e protect i on proffered,but of which he did not avail himself at the time. As to his being inveigled to the attorney's office, what business had he to ge• there ? What could he ex pect from an attorney, an Bolus an virtus?—(A laugh.) The COURT ordered the rule for his discharge to be made absolute. ROBERTS V. SOMEBODY. Mr. Serjeant MEREWETBER showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Serjeant Wilde, for changing the venue from London to Devonshire. This was an action, he said, for a breach of promise of mar riage, and the rule had been obtained on the alleged ground that the cause of action had arisen in Devon shire. Now the fact was, that the promise was contained in letters which had been written by the defendant in Devonshire, but which the plaintiff bad received and read in Middlesex. That, these fore, was a complete answer to the rule, which the Learned Serjeant submitted, on the authority of several cases, ought to be discharged, on the plain tiff's undertaking to give material evidence in Lon don or Middlesex. --- Mr. Serjeant WILDE contended that his rule had not been answered. It was true that Miss Lucy Ro berts had sworn that hhe had been residing at the " Blackßoy," at Hampstead, ever since the 16th of September, last year, down to the present time, and had there received the love-letters to which his Learned Brother alluded; but she did not swear that she had received no verbal promise from the de fendant before that period in Devonshire. Besides, she described herself as residing and receiving the love-letters in Middlesex, whereas the venue had been laid, not in Middlesex, but in London. The COURT discharged the rule. PREROGATIVE CONRT, Nov. 23. SKEFFINGTON V. WHITE. Dr. LUSIIINGTON moved the Court to decree a general administration in this case of the goods un administered of the estate of Thomas Hubbard, de ceased, to Sir Lumley St. George Skeffington, the son of the late Dame Catherine Josepha Skeffing ton, daughter of the deceased, and next of kin, the limited administration granted to Mr. White, a cre ditor, having been declared by the High Court of Delegates to be null and void, and being actually cancelled. Sir J. NictioLL said, the Court saw no difficulty in granting a general administration to the next of kin, of the effects unadministered, which would not at all interfere with any thing the Court of Dele gates might think proper to do in the case. TYRELL V. JENNER AND SPITTY. This was a further allegation on the part of the defendants in a suit respecting the validity of a will executed by the Rev. Dr. Jenner, in favour of Sir John Tyrell, Burt., the deceased's brother-in-law, to the prejudice of his next of kin, namely, his son, John Tyrell Jenner, a lunatic, and two grand-chil dren, who were still Minors. Dr. PHILLIMORE and Dr. ADDAMS, on behalf of Sir John Tyrell, opposed the admission of this al legation, and commented in strong terms upon the protraction of the suit. Dr. LUsHINGTON and Dr. DoDsost, for the Com mittee and Guardians of the next of kin, contended that this was a case which required the utmost vigi lance and the closest investigation. It was the case of a person alleged to be of unsound mind, who, at the age of 82, had, by a will executed in a sta tioner's shop, in the presence of the party whom it favoured, disinherited his only son, and the chil dren of his sister, in favour of a person not related by blood. Sir JOHN NICHOLL said, that the additional facts now pleaded did not appear to be of such import ance as to authorise the Court to add to the delay and expence already incurred. He should therefore suspend the allegation, and decree publication of the evidence. On fishing some of the waters, a few days ago, belonging to the late W.

Courier. TRAVELS in CIIALD2EA, including a JOURNEY from BUSSORAH to BAGDAI), HILLAH, and fi BABYLON, performed on Foot in 1627. By Capt. Ronawr MIGNAN. Bvo. Coburn and Bentley. A considerable degree of credit is, we think, due to Captain Mignan, for the accuracy with . which he has surveyed the now undoubted site of Babylon, and the remarkable objects within it. The position of the celebrated hanging gar dens, that has so long been merely matter of conjecttfre, is, we conceive, ascertained almost beyond the reach of doubt, by this intelligent traveller. After describing the ruins of the stu pendous palace of the Babylonian Kings, called by the Arabs " El Kasr," he says--" There are very conspicuous fragments of detached wall along the western part of the northern face of the Kasr, which (as this part is the reputed site of the famous pensile gardens ascribed to Nebu chadnezzar) perhaps supported the terraces at- . laclidd thereto ;" and further, after describing - the deep ravines, the probable intervals between these enormous walls, he adds, " In one of the sub , terraneous passages of a deeply-furrowed ravine, I discovered a granite slab, 15 feet long and 5i wide, the surface of which exhibited bitumen, with an impression of woven matting or straw, apparently laid on in a perfect unbroken state. This circumstance may, in some degree, identify the site of the Pensiles Horti, which, we learn from ancient authors, were raised on pillars by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, to gratify his wife Amyctis, the daughter of Astyages, King of Media." This supposition our author confirms by a reference to Quintus Curtius. On an eminence, near the remarkable hill called the Birs, the Captain observed several ex cavations, formed by the Arabs in searching for hidden treasure. On examining one of these, he found a number of urns containing ashes alone. After describing his investigation of these, he proceeds to observe--" It would ap pear that urn-burial, so far from being confined to the Greeks and Romans, as supposed to be the case by some authors, who have lately writ ten on the sepulchral vases found at Babylon, was venerated by the ancient Persians. A simi lar custom obtains among the idolaters of the Loo-Choo Islands." There are interspersed in the volume before us some interesting details touching the habits of the modern Arabs, and we can venture to promise, in conclusion, that the curious reader will not be disappointed in the perusal of Cap tain Mignan's work. STORIES OF WATERLOO, AND OTHER TALES. Nothing, in its way, can be better than the main intention of these volumes. There is no event in the records of either ancient or modern history so pregnant with the fate of nations and of individuals as the battle of Waterloo. The destinies of the greatest kingdoms in the world hung upon the issue of that single conflict, which was:the more obstinately urged, in propor tion to the vast magnitude of the stake ; and among the numerous hosts engaged, there was scarcely a single man who did not feel a more than ordinary interest in the catastrophe; indeed, with many it was a desperate struggle for home, property, life itself; and on this account so much of individual heroism, endurance, and ex ertion was never developed, in any single action, on so large a scale. This was the greater in proportion to the doubtful aspect of the conflict, which wavered with alternate advantage on either side, during nearly the whole time. In chro nicling this grand event, history can only recount the main incidents, such as the positions occu pied by the respective armies, the strength of each array, and the tactics of the leaders; while by far the most interesting portions, namely, the details of private achievement, of private feeling and suffering,—the view, in short, of the minute anatomy (so to speak) of the great mass, is passed over, or consigned to the biographer and the novelist. The author before us unites these two facul ties ; and, from having been personally engaged in the battle, and present:in France during the events which led to it, has constructed a series of stories of which it may not be too much to say, that they will, on account of their subject and their power of narration, last as-long as any other portion of English fiction founded on historical circumstance. This is high praise, but we feel confident that it will be verified ; in support of which opinion we refer to the tales respectively entitled " Napoleon's Re turn," " The Champ de Mai," " Belgium," The Ball," « Quatre-Bras," " Ligny," " The Seventeenth of June," " Waterloo," The Field of Battle," Brussels," " The Dead Dragoon," &c.; all of which will be read again and again, like those famous legends to which the battles of Cressy and of Agincourt have given immortality. There are other tales in these volumes which have more to do with " peace campaigns," and with private affairs, than those which we have cited, and in which the principal value of the work consists. We could have wished that such had not disturbed the amity of the main design ; but it cannot be denied that the greater part of these contingent stories (especially the comic ones) are very diverting, and demon strate, on the part of the author, a considerable knowledge of society and of the human heart. We predict that the " StorieG of Waterloo" are destined for popularity. It is a curious fact that toads greatly infest the islands of Jersey, but are not to he found in Guernsey. Barrels of them have been tikes there, but they immedi ately disappear, the soil being supposed to be unfavourable to them.

SHREWSBURY HUNT, The members of the Shrewsbury Hunt, under the Pre sidency of Henry Lyster, Esq. of Rowton, have been spend ing the week in the vicinity of that town. On Friday last, the hounds threw off at Woodcote ; the fox was soon lost, and the hounds were at fault. After muc7l loss of time and noise, an elderly gentleman, a pedestrian, discovered, with his spectacles, the fox in a tree ! He was routed thence, and almost instantly earthed himself. NEW LIFE ANNUITY TABLES. (From the Times.) The new tables for fixing the terms on which an nuities are to be granted by Government, have been referred to to-day by the monied interest, which is usually on the watch for any advantageous change in the form of investment, with a good deal of curio sity. Some bargains which have already been en tered into, if correctly described, would appear to demonstrate that these tables have been constructed by men better acquainted with the principlei which regulate life annuities than with the relative value which the various stocks, or Government securities, bear to each other in the market. Otherwise, what we are about to mention would seem almost incre dible, though we have positive assurance of its being a fact,—viz. that a broker at the Stock Exchange has this day concluded a bargain with the Commis sioners of the National Debt, the effect of which is, that he delivers up to them an inscription in Long Annuities for 2891. per annum, expiring, as the whole of that stock does, in the year 1860 ; and receives from the Commissioners in exchange for such in scription, an annuity, for precisely the same period, of 3001. per annum, being a profit on the transac tion, the security being in all respects the same, of 11/. per annum. Supposing that the whole of the holders of Long Annuities adopt the same course, and it is difficult to say what is to prevent them from doing so, an extra charge will be incurred by Go vernment of about 50,000/. annually, on one branch of the new annuity tables! (From the Morning Chronicle.) The new Life Annuity Tables were issued to day, in pursuance of notice from the office in the Old Jewry, and became a subject of general dis cussion in the Money Market. The value of these Annuities will depend, like the former Government Annuities, on the current price of the Three per Cents.; that is to say, the higher the price the lat ter may fetch, the greater the pecuniary sacrifice of those who wish to make investments according to the new scale of these Life Annuities. The youngest life is that of a person aged 15, and the oldest under which annuities are granted is that of a person aged 99. A decided preference is given to the life of a female, who is supposed to exist much longer than a person of the opposite sex. For instance, for an annuity of 201. for a youth aged 15, the amount required is not more than 4111. ss. 10d.; while for a female of precisely the same age, the amount is increased to 438/. 1 ls. 4d. For a man ar rived at the age of 50, the sum is 272/. 17s. Id., and for a woman, 312/. 14s. 10d., and in creasing upwards in the same ratio. Altogether, the inducements for making investments in these Annuitirs are, as was intended, less than by the old system ; but notwithstanding the length of time and great pains bestowed in drawing up the tables, it is ascertained by one or two bargains made in them to-day, that a positive loss will accrue to the country, from which it would appear that some further alterations are still essential. Such is the abundance of money and the difficulty of finding employment for it, that it scarcely can he doubted that the new scale will be carried into effect, though the Chancellor of the Exchequer may regret not having paid a little more attention to the subject I than he has done. The Government Annuity Office, in the Old Jewry, presented a very bustling scene during the whole of the day, parties being anxious to inspect the Tables and obtain further information with re gard to thew, which was readily given by the per sons in attendance. The following is a copy of the izarodactory statement to the Tables, which we give at length, in consequence of the intcx;st which they have excited " The Act 10 G : ,o. 4, cap. 24, empowers the Com missionerx for the Reduction of the National Debt to grant life annuities, and annuities to continue for a certain limit ed term of years, such respective annuities to commence either immediately or at a future period, upon the transfer to the said Commissioners of any Bank Annuities, or any Long Annuities, as the consideration for the same. " Payments may also be made in money in lieu of ferring stock. "No person can be appointed t 4 iemicike i, r any Life Annuity under the provisioza vltibe said Act who be under the age of fifteen years; nor eau any annuity, to continue 4 term a year; certain, be purchased fo r a s4orer period than ten years. " The said Act also authorizes the Commissioners to sell and grant, generally, any immediate Annuities, or KY temporary Annuities, or any deferred Annuities (save aid except that no deferred Annuities can be gra:Ated under the provisions of the said Act for any c.c.rtain limited term of years, to commence fro, sid after the death of any no minee) ; but the T4bles are too long to be published. Li formzitioa volating thereto may be obtained at the Office. " In the c.se of Deferred Life Annuities, sums of money, amounting to 51. or upwards, may be paid by the pur haler, annually, instead of raying the whole consideration joint nominees _Lover and above all half-yearly V arrears thereof respectively), will be payable to the person or per sons entitled to such Annuity, or his, her, or their execu tors, administrators, or assigns (as the case may be); pro vided such last-mentioned payment shall be claimed within two years after such decease, but not otherwise ; prc vidtd also, that the fourth part of any expired Life An nuity, payable under the provisions of the said Act, wilt not be payable, nor be paid upon, or in respect of any de ferred Life Annuity, unless one half-yearly payment of such deferred Life Annuity shall bare been acts Lily paA or become due at the time of the decease of such nominee. " Persons having once produced thedocuments required by the Act, may purchase a further Annuity upon the life of the same nominee, without exhibiting any fresh certifi cate of age, &c. " If certificates or affidavits containing false statements of the ages of nominees, with intent to obtain a higher rate of Annuity than would be obtained accozding to their true age, should be produced, all Bank Annuities or Long Annuities, or money, which may have been transferred or paid for the purchase of such. Annuities will ha forfeited, and all right and title to any Annuity which would or might otherwise have been payable in respect thereof will cease and determine ; and the person on whose behalf such Bank Annuities or Lung Annuities, of money which may have been transferred or paid, will forfeit treble the amount , of any and every sum which may have been received on account of any such Annuity, and also the fUrther sum of 5430, • Persons receiving Annuities after the same ought to cease by virtue of the Act (knowing the nominees to be dead) will forfeit treble the amount of all money to be ir. ceived, and also the further sum of 500/. Persons convicted of forging, counterfeiting, or alter ing any register of birth or baptism, or any copy thereof, or any of the certificate', affidavits, or other instrument s required by the Act, cr of personating any true and real nominee or nominees, will be adjudged guilty of felony, an I suffer death. " Persons convicted of wilfully or corruptly swearing: or affirming any matters or things which shall be untrue, will be subject to the penalties of perjury. " Tables, and blank forms. are delivered gratis; and for the accommodation of the public, they will be trans mitted to persona, on writing to the Secretary; but all letters must be post-paid. "No charge is made at this Office, except in the in stance of paying money, in which case the Act directs a charge of 2s. 6d. to be made upon the pureha , er for every 100/. of 3 per Cent. Stock which such money would purchase at the time of contract. " Annuities purchased under the provisions of the *aid Act are free from ail taxes, ch:;rges, and impositions whatsoever, except such as dividends of Consolidated or Reduced Rink Annuities are or may bevubject and liable to, and are to be deemed personal estate; " All documents relative to the purchase, tran'...ler, re receipt of these Annuities, are excetept from t ie Stamp Duty." Sorn.—Neither Bank Annuities ! nor Long Annuities, nor Annuities for terms of years, can be transferred dur ing their shutting. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE.

The notice of the Commissioners for the Reduc tion of the National Debt, which appeared in the last Gazette, relative to their being ready to grant annuities for single lives, and annuities for a term of years, seems to have excited much less attention than the importance of the subject demands. The following is a copy of tho notice in question National Debt Office, Nay. 17. The Lords Cam il 61 is, ioners o f his Majesty's TeNtsury hav ing approved and authorised the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt to atiopt, until further notice, certain tables for granting annuities upon the con tinuance of single lives, and annuities for terms of yea;,,, under the provisions of th e Am of 10 George IV., e . 24_,, The Comrnisssionera Au. the Reduction of the.

THE SILK TRAM'. (From a t 'orrespontlent. ) The Liverpool newspapers announce the sale iu that town, on Friday, the 27th inst., of a very con siderable quantity of raw silk, amounting probably to upwards of 15,0001. The sales of this article have hitherto been limited to the London market, but the great extension of the silk manufacture in Maq chester, and also in Glasgow, Paisley, &c., has pro duced this attempt to extend the sale of the raw material. The local newspapers speak with exulta tion of this circumstance, and compare it to the in digo trade, which has recently grown up in Liver pool, and even to the cotton trade, on which the prosperity of Liverpool has been mainly founded. — In a national point of view, this circumstance is im portant as evidencing the increase and the real pro sperity of the silk manufacture in this country. The fact is, that for the last four months the demand for silk goods, and the consequent employment of the weavers, have been very considerable. — The weavers have been in full employment, at least those amongst them who were able and competent workmen, and the annual returns, when made, will show a very large, and probably greatly increased consumption of the raw mate rial. The prices of that raw material have been so low that large purchases have, it is said, been made in this country by French manufacturers. — This fact, which has been adduced as an argument against the present system, really rebuts one of the most plausible arguments hitherto brought to con trovert it. It has hitherto been argued that the English cannot compete with the French manufac turer, because the latter buys his raw material cheaper and better than the former; but this posi tion is disproved by the fact, as now asserted, that for at least some articles of consumption the French manufacturer has found it to his advantage to pur chase in the English market, which he can only do by outbidding—that is, by purchasing dearer than the English consumer. The fact of the increase of the English trade in silk is indisputable. The only plausible argument which can be raised against this fact is, that profits are small, and that wages are lowered. But it should be borne in mind, that it is the general state of the country, and of all trades, and not the particular state of any one trade, which regulates the rate of profits and of wages. In a trade where there is an increase of the use of the raw material, and consequently of the labour be stowed upon it, that trade must be, comparatively at least, prosperous. If wages and profits are at the same time lowered, that reduction must be owing to the force of competition, which has always a ten dency to reduce prices and profits to an average level, and which, in this case, make the silk trade less profitable, only because all trades are less pro fitable.—Times.

WALKER AND THE POOR RATES, We insert a second letter from Mr. 'Walker, the Police Magistrate for the Whitechapel di. vision, which more than the first merits the con sideration of all those who are desirous of re forming the irregularities and improving the con dition of the poor. We would indeed invite particular attention to it ; and presume we may refer those who require farther information on the subject, to the high-spirited and active writer. What say St. Giles's, and St. George's, and St. Martin's-in-the-fields to Mr. Walker's statements ? " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " Police-office, Lambeth-street, Nov. 23, 1829, " SIR, —Having observed my name mentioned in the account; given by some of your cotemporaries, of the Police Association set on foot in the parish of \Vhitechspel, and those accounts containing many inaccuracies, I shall be obliged to you to insert the following statement. The plan which has been adop.ed, occurred to me some years since, and I only waited till I had sufficient authority to put it in practice under my own superintendence. It is simply this :—The old police remains as it was, and of 49 regular, and 19 supernumerary watchmen, not one has been dismissed, but a reduction to a certain extent is in contemplation. To three former patrol nine have been added, at Is. 6d. a night each, and their duty begins at dusk, and ends at ten, when the watchmen come on. The Association is composed of subscribers of one guinea, and of active members ; both classes are selected by ballot from the respectable inhabitants; the latter acting ender the directions of the legal authorities of the parish. Such of the police and resident Magistrates as may choose to countenance the Association are considered honorary members. Donations are re ceived for trio current expenses. There are nightly social meetings, and four of the active Members in rotation go round the parish every night, two and two, at uncertain hours, from half-past eight in the evening till six in the morning. The room is kept open for their accommodation, with newspapers; and refreshments are always to be had, for which they are allowed two shillings each. The duty of the active Members consists in superintending the watchmen, in taking care that there is no disorder in the public-housee, and that they are closed at proper hours, in visiting the watch-house, and ge nerally in preserving the peace of the parish. I have always been sanguine as to the effect which might be produced by the moral influence of such a system ; but the present Association, though not a fortnight old, and as yet but imperfectly organised, works with a facility and efficacy which quite ex ceed my expectation. The duty, which will not re cur above once a month, is found even in the outset to be very light, and disorder is already disappearing as if by magic. On Saturday and last night, which are usually the worst night; in the week, the only charges brought to the police-office were two men for being drunk in the streets, and three boys and a negro for sleeping under a pent-house---no robbery or other offence. The parish contains a dense popu laation of 30,000, and one of the worst quartere in the metropolis. I have myself been round several times, and on every occas'on have been surprised at the quietness, the extreme civility, and prompt obe dience which, with one solitary and trifling excep tion, I have every where experienced. Even in the lowest lodging-houses (where beds are to be had from 7d. down to 2d.), several of which I visited at the dead of the night, accompanied by some mem bers of the Association, all was quiet and orderly, and we did not hear a rude expression. One of the gentlemen present, who resoembers the houses for many years, was forcibly snuck le;ith the great improvement that had taken place, and particu larly with the circumstance that in no instance eveie there two males in the same bed, whereas formerly there used to be often as many as six. I will here take occ tsion to correct a statement in one of the papers, of an intention to root out these lodging houses. Though to the eyes of those nursed only in affluence, the scenes we saw would have been at first considered appalling scenes of misery, yet on examination we found no appearance of hanger or cold, and heard no compLlint, except from a writer of begging letters, who, I learnt, decamped the next morning; and I am more and more persuaded from each suereeding day's experience, and the best opportunities of judging, both on the bench and off, that the quantity of . ;Jistress really existing is grossly exaggerated, and that such exaggeration has a most pernicious effect. I will conclude with stating my firm conviction, that the Police Association on the one hand, and the strict mode adopted of administer ing the poor laws on the other, are able together to produce a rapid and signal diminution of crime, dis order, and pauperism in tile parish of Whit echapel ; and that similar effects may be produced throughout the land by the magistrates and parochial authori ties only acting in concert, instead of in opposition, as is unfortunately but too generally the case.--1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, 4.

The Paris Papers of Sunday morning have been received at a late hour this afternoon. They are filled with the trial of the Journal de Rouen, for repeating the publication after the Paris prints, of the resolutions of the Society in Brittany for resisting the levy of taxes not duly authorised by law. The accusation was divided into three branches —lst, Provocation to diso bedience to the law ;-2d, A formal attack against the constitutional authority of the King ; and 3d, Excitement to hatred and contempt against the King's Government. The result has been an acquittal, from which the Nlinistry will probably take warning, and abstain from the prosecution of the other cases. The judgment of the Court is in the following terms : " As to the first and second articles : Seeing it is not established that Visinet and 13andry, the one as Editor, and the other as responsible conductor of the Journal de Rouen, have been guilty of provoking to the disobedience to the laws, or of a formal attack on the constitutional au- Caority of the King. "As to the third article relative to excitement to hatred and contempt against the King's Government: Seeing that this offence cannot be inferred from the simple announcement in their Journal of the 13th September, 1829, of an Act of Association which appears to have been made in the ci-devant province of Brittany, provid ing for an event which has not been realized, and which from our Constitutional guarantees cannot be realized. " Seeing that if the editor of the Journal has not been so circumspect as to identify himself with the liberty of the press, 0 holsomely understood, yet it does not follow that the incriminated article is so characterized as to ex cite to hatred or contempt against the King's Govern ment, from whence it follows that there is not room to apply to him, or to the responsible conductor, any penal infliction. " On these principle* the tribunal having heard the Pro cureur du Roi, in support of the accusation, and Visinet and Bandry, in their defence, acquits them from the pur suit of the public prosecutor, withdraws the seizure of Nos. 256 and 257 of the Journal de Rouen, and orders their restitution." The Prince DE POLIGNAC is said to be con templating another change in the structure of the Cabinet, since the revival of the office of Presi dent of the Council, by the nomination of an efficient officer, with the title of Under-Secretary of State, in each of the seven departments of the Ministry ; and it is said, that in pursuance of this plan, the Count DE MARCELLUS, late Minister at Lucca, has already been appointed to the department of Foreign Affairs, under the Premier himself. Objections will, of course, be taken to this measure by the Opposition Journals, which will treat it, perhaps, as a new instance of the Prince's predeliction for the system of the British Cabinet—as a❑ indication of aristocra- tical feeling on the part of the present members of the Ministry—or perhaps even as a proof of their personal incapacity. Frankfort Papers, of the 17th instant, contain some strictures upon a long article in the Allge 'wine Zeilung, on the treaty of peace between Turkey and Russia. The tendency of both the critic and the reviewer is favourable to the con- tinuation of peace in Europe, by the cultivation of commercial relations with the East, and the erection of Greece into an independent State.— France and England are especially called on to come forward to promote these desirable objects. The Allgemeine Zeitung remarks upon what The Sun stated some time ago that Russia was forming a Greek navy, in order to establish herself as a naval power in the Mediterranean—and that such could not be the case " only if the Greeks found them selves exposed to the constaut enmity of Eng land." This may be so, but we have still our doubts of the sincerity of Russia, whose policy has hitherto evinced a decided but very natural tendency to obtain a naval footing in the Medi terranean. In doing this, we cannot altogether blame Russia ; but we think that England ought to look to her own interests:— AUGSBURG The Supplement to the Allgenteine Zeitung of the 16th and rith Nov. contains another long ar ticle on the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey, dated from the Isar, Nov. 12. The writer says—A new organisation of Europe is what is chiefly required in our times, and it would be more advis able to endeavour to supply this want than to esti mate the disease of the age with the notions of a balance of power which is no more, and to apply false remedies. We consider this organisation as possible, without any ne‘',essit.y for disturbing the frontiers of the States of Europe: Erst of all, it seems indispensable that France should be in 11;4 - - mony with its!df; that the Government should be sincerely reconciled with the nation ; that it should strengthen itself by taking 4vantage of the re sources which its energies offer, rerLowe a ruinous contest against them, and appear in Europe as a power at peace with itself." If France is once so resolved, it will find an op portunity in Spain and Portugal to do service to those unhappy countries, to free them from the burden of monkish power, and enable them again to take an honourable place iH the councils of Europe. The writer would have Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, become of more im portance in the general system, by judicious corn. mercial alliances with each other, and with Get- many. Austria, by paying due attention to the in terests of its commerce, as „connected with the East, might gain such advantages, and such a mani fest increase of strength, as to counterbalance all the advantages acquired by Russia. "In general nego ciations for the regulation and improvement of the commerce of the East, seem to us of the greatest importance, to insure the beneficial results of peace. This we think of more consequence to Europe than endeavours to obtain a diminution of the contribu lion to be paid by Turkey. Lastly, it is to be wished that England, in accordance with its own well understood interests, would assist in earnest, and with decision, to effect the political situation of Greece. It is called upon to do this, because the advantage of a new marine in the Mediterranean would be shared by England, for that this marine would become a forced ally of Russia, as The Sun lately observed, would have to he apprehended only if the Greeks found them selves exposed to the constant enmity of England. " Austria has nothing to fear from the independ ance of Greece, for what French Papers say of the danger to be apprehended from the vicinity of free Greeks to Italy, is only liberal phrases, for Austria has it in its power by animating Italian commerce to reduce Carbonarism of every description to its original significance. France too, the writer thinks, Auld under these circumstances derive ample benefits from a Greek State. Turkey is undoubtedly reduced to incurable debility, and no regeneration of that coun try is to be hoped ; but if the East, invigorated by the opening of the command of the Danube, and a creation of a new State in Greece; if indus try, order, and wealth return to these countries, to which nature has been so bountiful, they will afford to every commercial nation gains hitherto un known, give new guarantees to the peace of Europe, and participate in the reverse of the balance of power. All the states of this quarter of the globe will share in the new life that will animate the Mediterranean, and even the Barbary States, Egypt, Syria, and Asia Minor will be drawn by the greater extension of a safe commerce into the pale of civili• zation." FRANKFORT, Nov. 16.—Exchange on London, wo months, 1504. It is stated in letters from Vienna, of the 10th of November, that the PORTE does not cease to assure Count DIEBITSCH of its good intentions to cultivate the greatest friendship with Russia, and that the PORTE will do all in its power to fulfil the stipulations of the Treaty of Adrianople. Frequent communications are going forward be tween the head-quarters of the Russians and Constantinople ; Russian officers and Turkish couriers are daily passing each other between these two points, and it is reported that an inter view is going to take place between the REIs EFFENDI and the Russian Commander-in- Chief. There are at Constantinople con tinual conferences between the Turkish Ministry and the English Ambassador. We have letters from Odessa this morning of a later date than those received yesterday. The plague had caused great alarm, and shipments of goods had been suspended for fear of accidents. We have Gibraltar Papers of the sth instant.

The Vice- President of NlExico had assembled upwards of 10,000 men, and was ready to march to any point, should the Spaniards make another at tempt with a new expedition.

In the case of the Spaniards who have lately vio lated the frontiers of France by arresting some indi viduals, it is said that the affair will be treated di plomatically, and that the Prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees has given notice on the subject to Count Espagne. The new Queen of Spain arrived at Perpignan on the 10th Nov.; all due honours were paid to her Majesty. It appears that the Austrian Government have appointed Consuls for Greece, as well as for Mol davia and Wallachia. THE FUNDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed of the question that arose in this case, on the substance, merits, and form of the plea that had been put into this bill. The question was, whether the plea was to be considered a sufficient answer to the bill. The treaties and documents mentioned in the pleading had been so often before the Court that his Lordship did not think it necessary to enter into them in detail, for the purpose of chewing the grounds on which the Court proceeded. Treaties in 1814 and 1815 were entered into between France and Spain, by which France undertook to raise a fund of 1,800,000 francs or rentes, for the purpose of paying off the claims the Spanish sub jects had on the government of France. This sum was to be divided into two parts, the one was immediately to be (as it was) paid, one to the Government of Spain, and the other was to remain in the hands of the Commissioners to he appointed (as they were) by both Governments. The money was raised and thus disposed of. Things stood in this way till April, 1822. At this period, by another convention, France withdrew about the half of this sum, and the remainder was to be paid to such person or persons as the King and Government of Spain should direct. Jr. pursuance to this arrangement, this large sum was paid over to Machado, the Consul General and agent of the King of Spain. In 1823, the King and Government of Spain directed Machado to transfer the sum. Accordingly Machado realised the property and came to England with it. The Cortes, in the s ane year, passed a law, au thorising the King to apply this money to ether than the original purposes, his Majesty indemnifying his sub jects in respect of their claims in another way. By virtue of this authority, the King and Government of Spain entered into a contract with the plaintiff that he should pay over money for the general services of Spain, and receive as an equivalent bills of exchange drawn upon Machado, in respect of the fund in his hands. The money was advanced, the bills drawn and presented to Machado. Machado refused to accept the bills, contending that the King and Government of Spun had no right to dispose of the property in such a way ; and also that be himself was entitled to it. The bill stated that Machado was to be considered as a trustee of this property, having received the money as agent of the Government of Spain. Machado was a Spanish subject, and the whole of the claimants were also of that character. Millet stood in the same si tuation that Machado did, being Machado's agent. The plea stated that the money was irrevocably to be appro priated to the discharge of the Spanish subjects' claims ; that, according to the laws of Europe and the usages of Spain, it could not be applied in any other way, and that the King had no right to make a law for a different appropriation. It was impossible, in his Lordship's opinion, that any sum of money could be said to be irrevocably appropriated to any particular purpose in any country where the laws, &c. of that coun try were to be controulled by the Legislature. It was not denied that a law had been passed for the different appro priation of this money, and it was impossible therefore that this plea could be regarded as an answer to the bill. If such a law was passed in Spain, this country would give effect to it under such circumstances—the plea would have to be overruled, with costa, COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ALLEGED MURDEIt.-THE KING U. WM.:ATKINSON AND WM. MILNER, These defendants had been committed to York Castle on the Coroner's Inquisition, for the wilful murder of Thomas Holmes on the 26th of October last, at Skirlow Moor, in the county of York. Mr. J. WILLIAMS now applied to the Court to admit the defendants to bail. It appeared by the depositions be fore the Coroner, that the defendants were both game keepers to Sir W. Ingleby, and that the deceased was a labourer. The latter was, at eleven o'clock on the above night, in company with two other lahourers, named Mot ley and Thackery, going to the house of a farmer, who had appointed them to come and receive their harvest wages. Holmes and Thackery were going first, and had a lurcher with them, but no instrument for the purpose of killing game. The two defendants suddenly rushed out upon them ; the night was very dark, and a scuffle en sued, in which Thackery was knocked down and stabbed with some short sharp instrument, and he heard Holmes cry out that he was stabbed and killed. The two Motleys came up and joined in the fight, one of them having only a small stick, and the other of their party having no of fensive weapon; but they were ultimately, however, obliged to run away, for fear of being killed. Holmes went to a neighbouring house, where be arrived at one o'clock, and knocked violently. The occupier, John Wetheral, thought some one was trying to break in, and would not admit him, although Holmes told him he had been out night-hunting, and was badly hurt. He begged them to assist him in getting to Shaw Mill. Another man kindly offered to assist him, and, finding he could not walk, got a cart, and took him to Shaw Mill, where he died the next day. When about half way to Shaw Mill, Holmes cried out violently that his bowels were coming out, and begged his conductor for God's sake, to let him get out of the cart and die on the road. Witness saw that his bowels were protruding. Mr. Cooper, surgeon, attended Holmes at four o'clock in the morning, and found his intestines, which were violently inflamed and partly mortified, protruding. He had a wound about two inches long, slanting downwards i❑ the lower part of the abdomen. Holmes told him that he had been out poach ing with the two 'Motleys and Thackery, and had been stabbed in a struggle with the keepers. The deceased died in a few hours after witness saw him. The defendants produced an affidavit from their master, Sir W. Ingleby, in which he stated that Atkinson had been in his service seven years, and Milner one year, and that he had known both defendants for several years before as well behaved and humane men. The COURT ordered them to be di.ebarged out of cus tody, upon their entering into their ows recognizances for 400/. each, and finding two sureties for 1001. each Bail was immediately put in. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. EIAVES V. - Mr. Serjeant RUSSEL obtained a rule some time since, calling upon an attorney, residin4 in the country, to chew cause why he should not deliver up a deed to be cancelled. It appeared from the affidavits that a poor man of the name of Elwes went to the attorney, and wished hint to dispose of an interest which he derived under a will, but which was not payable until a person of the name of Thompson di e d. The attorney said he wou'd write and enquire into the circumstances. Some time after this Elwes was in formed that nothing had been heard resrcting it, but that lie (the attorney) was willing to enter into an agreement for the purchase, which, after some further negociations were agreed to, and the poor man executed a deed, assigning over to the attorney his life interest for t h e sum of nineteen guineas. The affidavit further stated, that at the time Elwes was induced to sign an agreement for the sale of this property, he was in a state of intoxication. Shortly after the execution of the deed the person, daring whose lifetime the money was to accumulate, died, and steps were taken to pay the money, which then amounted to nearly 200/. Elwes, on ob taining this information, applied to the Court, and ob tained a rule, calling upon the attorney to show cause why the deed thus obtained should not be given up. Mr. Serjeant WILDS this morning showed cause against this rule, and contended that as the defendant supposed Elwes' interest was onlya contingent one, nineteen guineas was a fair price ; and his not being the attorney of the plaintiff, the Court could not call upon him to give up the deed. There were affidavits of two of the defendant's clerks, which stated that Elwes was quite sober at the time the deed was executed, and that it was not at eight o'clock in the evening, but early in the afternoon. Mr. Serjeant RUSSELL was heard at some length in support of the rule. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We are not at all satisfied whether the attorney knew that Elwes had a vested inte rest in the property, or that he supposed it was only a con tingent one. Our opinion of the part he has acted must entirely depend upon that, we shall therefore refer it to the prothonotary to make further inquiries. The Attorney, who was in Court, here addressed their Lordships, and said, he hoped the Court would express an opinion that there was no imputation resting on his character. Mr. Justice PARK—lndeed, we shall do no such thing. Attorney—l am anxious to set myself right and vindi cate my character ; I will therefore consent to deliver up the deed to Elwes, on his paying me back the 19 guineas with interest, and the costs of this application. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said he thought this a very fair offer. .-.. ...... Mr... Serjeant RUSSELL assented to these terms, and a rule to that effect was ordered to be drawn up. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. STUACH V. GRINDALL. Mr. Cox applied in this case that the depositions of a lady, in a declining state, might be read on the trial of an ejectment, provided her health would not allow her to attend, and be examined vine voce. Mr. Grindall was en titled to a large property in the funds under the will of the original testator, the plaintiff asserted that the will had been improperly obtained, and filed his bill for an in junction to restrain Grindall from getting possession of the property. Upon the case coming on before the Court the plaintiff undertook to bring an action; an injunction was g+•anted ; several ejectment' were brought, and it was at the OW of ORO Of these ejectments the evidence of this old lady, given in the cause, was: sought to be read. The Court made the order directing Mr. Coe's clients to pay the costs. SPARROW V. SPARROW. Mr. RoLFE moved that the defendant, who was in Court might be taken to the Fleet under a writ of rebellion, for not having paid certain monies ordered by the Court. The defendant was handed over to the keeper of the Fleet. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The LORD CHIEF BARON sat in Equity this morning in the Exchequer Chamber. His Lordship was engaged the whole morning in hearing arguments in the part heard cause of Master v. Fletcher, which does not possess the least feature of public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. HADBT V. SANDERS AND OTHERS. Mr. RICHARDS showed cause against a rule which had been obtained to set aside an inquisition, or to show cause why the verdict should not be reduced from 401. to 201. It was action of trespass, in which the defendants suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff was the owner of a close at West Bromwich, Staffordshire, situated about sixty yards from his house, in which the trespass was committed, which was of a nature calculated much to hurt his feelings, and the Jury being of that opinion returned the following verdict:—f o We find 29/. damages for the injury done by the trespass, and 201. for the injury in flicted upon the plaintiff's feelings. Mr. Baron GARROW.—" Perhaps, Mr. Richards, you had better consent to have the verdict reduced to 201." Mr. RICHARDS could not at present consent to such a course ; the trespass was of an aggravated nature, and the aggressor did perfectly right in drawing the attention of the Jury, and pointing out to them particular cases where large sums had been given in consideration fur injury done to the feelings. Mr. Baron GARROW-4 think it very unusual in a Judge to say to the Jury in such and such a case, heavy damages were given, the general and proper plan is, to advise them to give temperate damages.

SIR HENRY HOUGHTON, BART. Mr. KNIGHT said this case, which his Lordship was well acquainted with, now came before the Court in the nature of exceptions to the defendant's answer to the bill. The circumstances of the case were these :—ln the year 1778 a great number of persons had leases of some pro perty in Lancashire granted to them for a long term of years, by the late Sir Henry Houghton, the present de fendant's father, which leases were still unexpired. During the lapse of time, and in the progress of wealth and machinery in that part of the world, the lessees had built on the land, and otherwise improved it so extensively, that it was now become of the large annual value of 16001. Latterly, however, the present defendant, as the heir-at-law of his late father, had sought to obtain pos session of this large and valuable property, alleging that the tenants had broken the covenants of the leases, and he hail caused notices of ejectment to be served upon all of them. The plaintiffs, of whom there were a great num ber (the present tenants in possession), consequently filed a bill in e,quity against the defendant (who had already been restrained from proceeding in his actions at law by an injunction), requiring him to show under what title he claimed possession of the property ; and also to disclose the breaches of covenant which he charged against the plaintiffs. In answer to this bill, the defendant had re plied that he was heir-at-law to his father, who died in 1799, and that a deed of appointment had been given him by his father in 1794 ; as to the breaches of cove nant, he had merely furnished a copy of all the covenants. These answers, the learned Counsel submitted, were not sufficient, and be therefore took exceptions to them. Mr. SHARPE followed on the same side. Mr. Jamas (with whom was Mr. PARKER) contended that the answers furnished by the defendant were quite sufficient, and all that the Court could require of him. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that he thought the an swers were not sufficient, and therefore he allowed the exceptions, and gave the plaintiffs liberty to amend their bill, without prejudice to the injunction. POLICE.—(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY OF TIIE 1,0001. BANK NOTE.—This morning Brennan, the porter, who was in the employ of Messrs. Winter, Bowman, and Co., was placed at the bar on the charge of stealing a 1,0001. note. Evidence was adduced on the part of the prosecutors which fully brought home to the prisoner the crime for which he is detained.—He was fully committed. The French Ambassador and the Hanoverian Minister had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN yes terday, at the Foreign Office. Despatches from his MAJESTY, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, for the Duke of WELLINaTox, were received in tAwn yesterday morning. They were immediately forwarded by a messenger to his Grace, at the residence of Mr. PEEL, in Norfdk. _ _ The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Princess VIcToRIA, and attended by Lady CuAßLorra Sr. MAtin and Baroness LEHZEN, left her residence in the King's Palace, at Kensington, yesterday morning, and proceeded to Kew, where her Royal Highness visited the Duchess of CUMBERLAND. After the Duchess had re turned to Kensington, the Duke and Duchess of CUM BERLAND came to town in their carriage-and-four. Their Royal Highnesses remained at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, till six o'clock, when they returned to Kew. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left her resi dence in Bagahot Park, yesterday morning, on a visit tc the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, at Bushy Park. A very interesting and - successful preparatory trial took place yesterday se'nnight, at Woolwich Dock Yard, of a " Life Boat," invented by Lieutenant Copal:, of the Royal Navy, which met with decided approbation. On his principle, any boat used for ordinary purposes may be converted, in a few minutes, into a life boat, which will neither sink nor upset; and into which, if a sea breaks, it will again run out, without leaving her in the least de gree water-logged ! Were the galleys to he so fitted be longing to the Revenue and Preventive Services, a com plete line of Life boats would he established around the coast, well adapted for passing through surfs, and for pul iing to windward. To render her more complete. many important appendages are said to be connected with the principle on which this boat is fitted.—The ingenious projector is the patentee of the lile-preserv, r adapted for carriiivs.-.=,liampsh ire Telegraph.

CHURCH REFORM, BY A CHURCHMAN, We are disposed to think the present, days of singular, Perhaps even of unexampled interest, to England ; whether h be the natural love of an over -strained excitement, glad, tt length, to find repose from turbulence; or that, by the concurrence of external circumstances, matters of quieter t antideration have, in their turn, occupied the public kind, an d party has at length lost its violence. For our sWn part we are well inclined to avail ourselves of so f avourable a conjuncture to argue in favour of individual Ind personal conv i ct i ons, as they stand opposed to col lective and corporate dictations ; in other words to dis eourage and deprecate whatever may fairly come under the d enomination of that word of evil omen, " party"—if not gravely to propose that the term itself be expunged from our vocabulary. Never, we are of opinion, did a spirit of Patient, sober, and penetrating inquiry more largely abound or promise richer and riper fruits than at this moment. And it is curium to observe how many things, *hie!' but a few years since, were deemed so sacred that tven to breathe a suspicion of their soundness would sub lest the bold disputant to the charge of disaffection to w/arils Church and State, if not of want of moral prin ciple itself, are now quietly conceded ; and how general k reaching forward there is to a more intrinsically perfect to ndition of our vari ous i ns tit u ti ons th an h as hitherto been h ss ntenipl a t e d. Th e un i versal spread of instruction is, be and all doubt, contributory to this happy result, and the :kt is an answer to a hundred of those objections to its 1 'ln gress which are daily stated without producing any ssoviction; or, at Atri l, pise iction con plated ; for whilst it c is r eadily e conceded conv that so con ono a c h ange i n t h e i ntellectual habits of the people , %not Possibly take place without frequent irregularity, a*ithout, indeed, occasional positive evil too palpable to he denied a far more than equivalent satisfaction ie derived ft-ta O bservers that the whole mass is progressive on the Path of i n , r tile int P ?vernent ; and . . that to the universality, not I.r uPtton of the principle, are we too look for a cure mail of the mischiefs complained of. We are very far from asserting—to return from this Zgression to a former position—that party was guilty of krnalioe prepense," in hanging upon the wheels of im , ttosenaent ; or that principles, at any given time, fit to be l i t(1 Pon, must always be so, under whatever varying p a t ,? c rnat imees. No doubt it was often constrained to de -1 I,.`r°rn the middle line of truth by the violence of con t:3 ton e ,; and, often under the necessity of delaying or -8 ether opposing measures, really good in them te4„, I , lest concasione at an unlucky moment should titrengthen the hands of a combination, felt to n be e in its li e b a l eral beari ngs prejudicial. It is not altogether impos e, moreover, t reat at bosodin..ethpi.ng , that in certain contingencies, party may of a beneficial influence, if not over the kg ahti 1 of its adherents—at least, over the more think it fo ••leading portion,—those, who having to marshal . h. ! contest and victory , are interested to inquire and in ctinte, and thus eventually may prepare the way for iwat more temperate, almost healthy state of mind, which ti t ha " spoken of as so strongly characterizing our own h n t° ,„ ea * We think this has been recently verified. Whether, ~,,;e ve r, we are right or wrong in pretending to discover . k o o ca! the fact is certainly indisputable that inquiry . is at n n i nto most of the questions which have a more direct tisi -eet icin with our religious, moral, and political con ,l,,°n, and we will endeavour briefly to prove that it is .°:eciing under favourable auspices. have s.des that the "earthquake" and the " fire" li 4 sed, i on. and the " st ill small vo i ce " of calm judgment is .. k t ; i "eard, there is that national confidence in the ability, l-- vie ws, and honest intentions of our rulers, which k:itablothe aPprehensions even of the most timid as to th k e !wound Jesuit of the large body of speculation atwo ~ t io_ hem, and which would reconcile them to the very i c ?ges, not to be effected without distrust and discontent, siti,tldeed, without danger, under the auspices ofrulers, less l ' l ngUigh ec i f o knon r good sense, candour, and la on.. gst other proofs of this spirit of improvement being Ceil, a , i ° 4 may be enumerated the following :—The s een n' e i:, -..

But t'ilvt4i:r "ligregational worship, necessarily consisting of "terned acts, such as praisiug, praying, singing, reading regular rules, and regular persons, to enforce and effect them, must of necessity form part of the system.-- And lastly, to repress jealousies, rivalries, and the other ill consequences attendant, in the imperfect state of human nature, upon s e paration, and distinction, and to combine into one harmonious and effective whole, it became im portant to subject to the same rules, and common func tionaries, with local rules and minor officers, subordinate to them, as many congregations, or as great a number of Christian men, as possible, it being left to the sound dis cretion of " the King, and such as are in authority under him," to determine, with reference to circumstances, and with a strict and conscientious regard to " the maintenance of religion and virtue"—to determine the precise bounds of such a common uniform Church. We see these principles recognized in the ecclesiastical proceedings, of which the Acts of the Apostles relate the history; and in the admonitions and directions of the Epistles, and upon them our own Church of England is grounded. Under the sanction of the Legislature she pre scribes a public worship, beautifully suited to the various contingencies and necessities of man's life, in a certain fixed form, in certain places, at certain times, conducted and superintended by certain functionaries ; her ultimate ap peal being " to the law and to the testimony ;" not only as the warrant for these, her general rules, and prepara tory outlines, but also for the fillings up, and substantial details. Now it is very certain that many of those lead ing doctrines and propositions of time Bible, which distin guish it as a peculiar, a Christian record, are capable of more than one construction ; and in point of fact, have been variously undo stood by various interpreters, all ap parently actuated by equal zeal in the pursuit of truth, and equally fitted, by gifts of head and heart, fir its dis covery. That there cannot, in reality, be a variance, is as certain as that there may be a difference. All the senses contended for, and neither exclusively, being con tained, for instance, under the larger comprehensive head. If we were called upon to account for the fact, we might, with all humility, suirgest that something may be due to the difficulty both of understanding, with unerring accu racy, a dead language, and of translating from it into pre cisely equivalent terms. Something, also, in certain in stances, to imperfect transcription, but a great deal more to the incompetency of our present faculties to apprehend what are offered to them designedly as objects of faith, rather than of distinct apprehension, and to the intention of their great author to turn and cherish in us a spirit of candour and forbearance. May we not also, without pre sumption, indeed, with feelings of the warmest gratitude, conceive the word of salvation to hate been constructed with a view to the varieties of men's minds,—so that its saving truths should have attractions for one under this shape, and another under that; no " latitude" of interpre tation being absolutely disallowed, which does not militate against the great end, " love towards GOD, and faith to wards our Lord JESUS CHRIST." Let us, for the present, carry this reasoning into what we are about to discuss, our Church, justly solicitous that, within her own pale, at least, there should be cohe rency in her teachings, and, betwixt them and the Bible, endeavour to secure this, by what she calls " Articles of Religion," to be subscribed principally by her officiating Ministers. They cannot, from the yery nature of things, all possess that ability, which an instructor of others ought, in very strictness, to have; nor all candour and moderation ; nor all that singleness of heart which Gon never permits greatly to err; it seems well, therefore; it seems even necessary, that their line of teaching, as far as it is personal, and their own, should be defined by certain boundaries. But in fixing or continuing such boundaries, some highly important considerations were, and are, ne cessary to be kept in view. We have supposed that seve ral constructions of one text might be true, though not exclusively so. Now extreme caution should be used in precisely defining the public faith of a Church and its Ministers, not to pronounce dogmatically upon what the Scripture itself hath left more at large; not to require peremptory assent as matter of evidence to what may pos sibly not be affirmed in that sense ; not to substitute fal lible dicta of man for infallible ones of Gon, without service or qualification. Propositions, of undisputed plainness, may assuredly be left in the Bible, under the general declaration that the Church refers to that as to her rule of faith ; and must be so left unless it is intended to attach to her Ministers, as a body, the charge of wilful falsification ; for if they will not teach what is indisputably clear, or if they distort it, they are unworthy of trust or respect. Others, more ambi guous, it may be wise, it may be a duty, if the right ap prehension of them be " generally necessary," or generally m inistrant, " to salvation," for the " avoiding diversities of opinion" (as it is stated in King James's Preface to our Articles), to draw out of it and affirm ; but these, in words as nearly scriptural as is possible, and with a declaration that she adopts the sense now affixed simply as, after pa tient and diligent search, her own, not as rejecting and condemning every other as being absolutely untrue. Once more—A national church should obviously be calculated for the spiritual necessities of a nation. A Christian Church affords as little opportunity as possible for breach of unity. Now, bow stands our own in these respects? Its Articles are thirty-nine. And the first ques tion which naturally occurs on the sight of such an aggre gate, is, " Is it possible that there can be so many as thirty.. nine points of belief—all disputable, and all likewise neces sary to be categorically pronounced upon ?" Now, it is first to be observed, that under the term " Articles," are com prised propositions of very different weight; same upon faith, properly speaking, others not : some, that is, de fining and declaring the substance of her minister's TEACHINGS : others, what may be called the bye-laws or regulations of the society. And it is certainly to be re gretted that they were not classed under separate heads ; so that what concerns the "present need alone" might have been at a glance distinguished from what was of perma nent, and essential, and intrinsic importance. Let it be supposed, however, that twenty out of the thirty-nine are of pure faith—and then let the question be applied to this more limited number. A very cursory exa mination may furnish a present reply. " It is believed," says the third, " that Christ went down into hell." Now can this be said to be one of the tornino points of salvation ? or one necessary now to be dwelt upon, or se lected for enunciation ? And does it not in reality declare, to our present apprehension, according to the present meaning of words, a doubtful thing, if not a positive un truth ? The eighth affirms that " the three creeds ougbt thoroughly to be received." But is not this again, by an unseemly juxta-position, to place the traditions of Men upon "something like an equality with the word, and under the common point of reference—Faith ?" To be sure, the Article goes on to state, that " they may be proved by most certain warrants of Holy Scripture." Still they are not Scripture itself. And the reason assign ed for their reception is insufficient. If the Athanasian Creed can be verified by the Bible, it cannot certainly be shown from the Bible, that Christians have authority to pronounce those, who do not accept its positions, accursed. W e might, but will not, now, extend similar remarks to others of the Articles : contenting ourselves with observ ing, by the way, that the first of all is headed by a word not found in the Bible ; and which, by the very attempt at a concise definition, does but create a new difficulty. It is important to advert to the history of the Articles. Tbey were composed in very different days--days when English Protestantism was yet young and fresh, when the Reformation bad not yet settled down into its present soli dity and quietness. Something to prevent the irregular oscillation of the religious pendulum, this way or that, might have been, and, in all probability, was necessary. Add to which, that biblical knowledge had made but a very small progress, numerically speaking, though, in a few distinguished individuals, it had been carried to an ex tent altogether marvellous. And the experience of the few, thus already advanced, might be, and most probably was, essential, as a way-mark to the great majority, in a field to be by the latter yet explored. But it is by no means a necessary consequence of this that such, or, at all events, the same guidance is needful, under quite diffe rent circumstances. When, for instance, civilization and instruction have arrived at their present high pitch, and when the Scriptures are in the general hand, and generally read. Again, it is reasonable to demand, has time taught nothing, which it might he wise, which it might be a duty to engraft into the deductions of past ages? Articles, themselves, are grounded upon an idea, that the greater learning of some may serve to direct the lesser of others. They presuppose gradations and proportions of acquire ment. But will any go the length of affirming, that in all the long period which has elapsed since the year 1562, no light has been thrown upon the Scriptures by the ad vancement of philology—critical and philosophical, by in • qutry, by commerce with foreign—and, more especially, Eastern nations? It is remarlgable that BISHOP JEBD, in a treatise, ex pressly written in defence of the Articles and Liturgy, as they now stand, observes upon the absurdity of imagining that the enquirer of the 19th century is to begin and end where the enquirer of the Ist century began and ended : and yet both he himself, and all who contend for the un changeableness of our formularies, are guilty of this precise absurdity. The design of Articles is excellent : it is to prevent per plexity and disunion :—and there can be no manner of question that, fur a season, our• own really did so :—and that, without any unwise, or unfair interference with Phristianity : any interference which was not counter balanced by a still greater gain. But this was when, as we have just been saying, either famillaity With GOD's word was rare, or Scriptural mass of the people, had not been long enough, vat iou.ly enough, and patiently enough, at work, , 0 be tru-tol with discretion to dictate or pronounce; when ]shire of rational and manly discussion were not yet forme —when discriminat ing masses of opinion had not taken shape or colour, and weight of judgment could not he, from any inlelligible indications, collected. As guides therefore, they may seem no longer wanting, when such a vast body of inquiry and intelligence is brought to bear upon religious themes: for either they treat of plain things, or they do not. If yes—then plain things may be safely left in their original record, the Bible. If no—doubtful things will hardly, under such altered circumstances, conciliate honest assent : they will continue doubtful still : and, being pronounced upon pe remptorily, will probably have the effect of preventing, it may be, public official controversy within the pale of the Church, so fenced about—but then, also, it is to be feared, of sullying the purity, and blunting the edge, of many con sciences, obliged, humanly speaking, and with respect, to a hard necessity of worldly circumstances, to conform to an imposed test, and from preventing that Church of availing itself, in days of mightily increasing religion, of that spirit, and therefore arming her against herself. Shall we prefer the phrase, " Articles of peace 9" As suiedly it is possible to conceal the fact, that our Church has had, perhaps still has, though we are of opinion, in a very diminishing degree, its Jansenists and its Jesuits—its moral, and its evangelical Clergy, we mean no more than a general comparison, dividing it in the very teeth of Arti cles and canons of uniformity—almost as much—saving the point of absolute, locomotive dissent—as if they were of different communions. The circumstance appears at first sight to shew the inadequacy of our present system, to prevent differences; but yet the necessity of setting bounds in some way, to freedom of interpretation, ex cathedrii—for here the grievance principally lies—in mi nisterial "liberty of propbecying." Let there once be uniformity of sermon, as there is of Liturgy, and there is peace; or a vast approxim ition to it. But how can this be secured ? and so secured, as, if possible, to wound n • honest conscience, to quench no laudable inquiries after the truth, and to exclude, on account of any such safe guard, as few persons as possible ? Now, the Liturgy, with the exception of certain por- tions, of the Christian propriety of amending, er altogether expunging which, we shall have to speak by and bye, has a singular affinity with the words, style, and substance of the Bible. It is undogmatical, if we may so speak, large, Catholic. Most Christians could conscientiously worship in it. Let us suppose that to be made the test. It has, in the first place, far greater ambiguity than our Articles, if that be a recommendation. It is admitted to comprise all essential, all saving points ; or, to vary the phrase, as many as cordially believed and honestly acted upon, will save. Suppose it the pastoral, official, charge to the Church Minister that he simply conformed him self to the Liturgy. Would that be complained of? would more than that be required. Or sup pose an injunction added, that, although high and mys terious points were not to be avoided in sermons—(for if they were, what would be their Christianity, what their aptness to save ?) yet that, in adverting to them, preachers should never go beyond, but should scrupulously use the very words of the Bible ? Would this suffice—and why should it not ? or must there be a more express declara tion of faith ? Once more, and at this position of our ar gument, let us consider the complexion of our own days. There seems, unless we greatly deceive ourselves, to be a tacit, hut very distinct recession, in the religious world, from the extremes to the centre—ultra opinions, on whatever side, are becoming moderate, from a grow ing persuasion, that in that centre truth will be found—and candour, and charity, and rest. And can any one doubt that the persuasion is just? So much for Articles, whether of faith absolutely, or of faith with a view to peace. With respect to those which we have before adverted to, under the term by-laws, it set ma to matter little whether they remain as Articles, or are in corporated into Canons. Perhaps, under the latter shape, they might be less liable to misconstruction. However and wherever stated, it seems important that they relate simply to those municipal corporate duties, which the Church has a distinct scriptural authority, general, or spe cial, to define and require; and that they leave personal conviction and discretion as much at large as ccnsiats with general safety. _ _ Now, if our Church's opinions be represented by her Liturgy, then is there no religious fellowship in the world, so likely we believe, with very little alteration, to attract towards it the body of the people. Whether that attrac tion shall be into, as well as towards, our sanctuary, must depend upon other provisions, of which, however, as we delight to persuade ourselves, there is no reason for de spairing to see adopted. Let us now at once proceed to the Liturgy. And here we do not hesitate to make our first stand at the Athanasian Creed, as the point from which improvements must commence. Our objections to it are indeed many. To begin with its composition, it is at utter variance with the exemplary and refreshing plainness of our other ser vices. Of the clergy few apprehend it—of the laity fewer still—of the poor none. The bulk of its ideas are purely scholastic—the bulk of its terms equally so. It defines strictly what the Scripture has not so defined. It calls upon a congregation to hear, and respond to, what as we have been saving, it cannot possibly understand, as a con gregation. It occupies valuable time, by the recital of propositions to which no hostility, requirirg this mode of offensive, or defensive warfare, now manifests itself. It shews, by its very minuteness of detail, what it were better to conceal—bow many are the sects and sentiments of Christians. But its worst feature is, that as the summing up of all its clauses, it boldly adds, " This is the Catholic faith, which, except a man keep whole, and undefiled, without doubt, he shall perish everlastingly,"—the people answering " Amen." What then is "this ?" Let three parts of an average English congregation be asked, and they will say, "All that we have been repeating." " But what is that ?" the question may go on to demand— " What does it mean?" " Nay, that we cannot tell ; we only know it is we have been repeating after the Minis ter." Ask, in a word, the whole—and if they have not been taught otherwise, (and officially, they cannot be so taught,) scarcely a person but will concur, that the " Ca tholic faith," designated by the word "this," and of which it is affirmed, that unless a man keeps it he shall without doubt perish, is the entire creed ; so that practically, and as it is commonly understood, we, fallible creatures, pre sume to pronounce " accursed" all who do not strictly hold positions which neither we nor they can comprehend. We have been gravely told, indeed, that the darnnatory sentence refers only to the primary or master tenet, " that Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped." Let it be granted that it is so : but then, was there ever a more conclusive argument for ridding ourselves of a formula, which, whilst it means to say one thing, actually says another—and this too in matters of perilous interest? If it be so, still where is our warrant for pronouncing upon our fellows this fear ful verdict of " guilty?" And what is really gained by retaining the Creed ? Will it be said, soundness of doctrine ? if this means the doctrine of the Trinity, we say it is interwoven into our Liturgy, in a manner so natural—so unoffending--so cha ritable—in a word, so scriptural, that it cannot be taken away, unless, and until the whole garment be rent—which may our good Gon prevent ! Far better is it, we cannot but think—far wiser—far more in the spirit of CHRIST, to leave it in that quiet dwelling place—ministering health and joy to thousands, than thus to put it forward, as a rock for " faith, hope, and charity," to split upon. We are painfully sure, that many decline ourfellowship, simply because of the mark of intolerance, which this Creed is felt to set upon our, else, most tolerant Church. We are no less sure, that many a sincere and humble member of it hangs down his head in sorrow, and in shame, when he is unwillingly reminded of this blot upon that sanctuary, which he so dearly loves, and so unfeign- edly venerates, and would grudge no sacrifice to behold " without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing." A book has recently issued from the press, of which we will content ourselves with observing, that, whilst it ad vocates with us the dismissal of this formula from our ritual, it also suggests the blotting out certain other parts, directly confessing the doctrine of the Trinity. In this we cannot concur. In the precatory and laudatory por tions we deem that doctrine most properly embodied. We simply object to its being dogmatized upon, and in scholastic, unintelligible, and uncharitable terms. The Author of " Church Reform," contents himself with asking for the removal of the damnatory clauses. And, it were certainly no small gain to the cause of forbearance and clarity, if only thus much were accomplished. Rut it would only solve a portion of the evil—the largest, it is admitted, but by no means the whole. 411 the Objections, on the score of present inapplicability, unintelligibleness, and so forth, would reosain in full foice. And, therefore, we are of opinion, that it were wiser at once, and once for all, to expunge it. For supposing it transferred from our congregational services to our Arti c l es , as a pro f ess i on o f faith—for none but ministers understood, and expected to comprehend what is confessedly beyond the reach of the ordinary hearer, it would but add straitness and eicl;:iiiye , ncss to Articles already, as we hare teen Urging, some = what top numerous and too positive, in dayi like these-- it would but continue to subject the Clergy 't o t h e c h ar ge Of too 'readily submitting to dictation. It wo u ld atilt hang , s a millstrr I lie neck of the Church, though in an alter shap• It will 1w tl , this instance relates, primarily, to the doc'rine it do 1 ..:ty t owl the suspicion may at once arise, that the pr ,ft • menti,tions originate in a lurkirg spirit or Soeiniani-m. No ‘-, to the char-eter of the Author of the work under review, we have ...mike , . 4 inn. For out selves if we know any thing t our own opinions, they are strongly oppi. , ,ed to to the Sn.cinian hypothesis our hopes of salvation humbly resting upon the cross of CHRIST, as our actual redemption from the pains and penal ties of sin, and upon the workings of the HOLY SPIRIT, as our regenerating, renewing, and sanctifying principle. The remonstrances, therefore, now respectfully made, not until, we are disposed to add, we had long kept silence " yea, even from good words,' though it was pain and grief to us," cannot, we think, be justly sus pected of coming from covert enemies. They are, in truth, the affectionate words of companions and familiar friends ! And let it be considered in what an advantageous posture, for salutary reform, the Church is placed by this very fact, and by our being, as we verily believe we severally are, the mouthpieces of a very considerable aggregate of concurrent sentiment. If an abandonment of any point be conceded, it is not to the demands of foes, covert or overt, but to the prayers of those of her own household; it is at a moment, as we have hinted before, when the singular moderation of the various sects of Protestant Christians, leaves temper un ruffled and judgment unclouded ; at a conjuncture which Providence seems to have contrived, that we might " walk about our Sion, and go round about her ; and tell the towers thereof, and mark well her bulwarks, and set up her house, that we may tell them that come after :" " Deus nobis I,mc otia fecit." We proceed, next, to the point of intelligibleness, in such parts of our ritual as are confessedly excellent in re spect of every other particular. Intelligibleness we hold to be one of the essential characteristics of the reformed, as contrasted with the Romish'faitli, and that the further we depart from it the less do we hold fast to our integrity, and the more obnoxious do we become to the reproof of St. Paul, "If the trumpet give an uncertain sound, &c." No doubt the universal education of the people is daily raising them to our level ; in the mean time, however, and even when education shall have produced its results, certain words have ceased to represent the ideas which once they expressed. They have either become obsolete, or obsolete in the sense of the text. If, for the sake of phi lology a consideration of some importance, it be deemed ad visable not to expunge such terms, it might suffice and would be a real improvement, to put syuonimes in the margin, leaving the choice to the individual Minister. We have considerable doubts whether the time occupied in our church service be too much, and are inclined to think the weariness some complain of will be found to arise rather from repetition than continuance. We cer tainly are afraid, however, that in the administration of our most solemn rite, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, as it now stands, evil arises from both these causes. Old age and delicate health, we fear, cannot, the young and the wavering we are sure will not, in populous places, de vote the time and the attention necessary for its reception. And in our present posture of what we venture to call utterly inadequate provision, with respect to numbers of Ministers, it is very much to be ap prehended that the Parochial Clergyman already oppressed by the Sunday's duty, is actually prevented by the anticipation of an additional burthen, absolutely over whelming, from being, as he, of all men, should be, a cheerful commemorator of the great Christian sacrifice, and from bidding guests with any earnestness of private exhor tation to that holy feast. Our services for baptism, burial, the visitation of the sick, and marriage, might, we are disposed to think, be amended. The first strikes us as upon the whole too long. It might also be considered, whether the suretyship required by it might not, in these days, be profitably ex changed for a solemn charge to the parents and near kin dred, both in those relations and as witnesses of the child's introduction into the Church of Cnrasr. Certain parts of the marriage service, it is quite certain that many of even our highest Clergy, from feelings of delicacy, seldom read, they are, virtually, either disused or used at discretion, and had better, therefore, be at once expunged ; any thing being better than a law whose observance varies, and will continue to vary do what we chose, with the will of the subject The objectionable feature of the " visitation of the sick" is the absolution, not that the Romanist can have the smallest right to parallel it with I.is own, and to retort upon the Protestant, objecting that the faith of the former empowers the Priest to forgive sins, that the latter's does the same. The difference is the essential one between a law merely standing in the statute book and one daily en forced. The Catholic Priest exec cises this function un ceasingly. It is one of his most prominent, his most usual, his most characteristic duth s. The laity are taught to look to it as one of their dearest privileges. On the other hand, the Protestant Minister has never, in point of practice, been deemed the deposit ry of an absolving power. This opinion has never been fostered. Ile may not exer cise it without the minute precautions as to absolute sin cerity of repentance prescribed in the Liturgy ; and very few are the cases in which it is required, and without its being desired by the sick person it is no part of his office. But though it be, thus, for the most part, disused, from the awe with which both Clergy and Laity approach it, and is so far innocuous, we would willingly silence all objections by for ever divorcing it from our Liturgy. In our burial service, calculated it is manifest for days when discipline was in its vigour, and sentence of excom munication, without scruple, pronounced upon offenders, the Church, through the mouth of the individual Minister, now, indiscriminately declares, of all persons brought for interment, within her precincts, that they have departed this life " in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD." The consequence is, that she appears to attribute to the mere fact of death a mysterious and undefined power to change the spirit of a man from evil to good : and thus, by her last office—her farewell word over the departed brother, to undo and make void her former strenuous admonitions, so to pass our time of trial here in godliness and holy fear— that at the last we fail not of the promises of God ! Would we then give the Minister, itiwill be asked, a discretionary power to pronounce over the grave of one man, that he bath died with, and of another that he hath died without " hope ?" Far from it, we would place him in no such ex posure to odium. We would subject him to no such heavy responsibility. But can it be necessary for educa tion, or for peace, or for comfort, to do more than state the Christian hope, in general omitting all individual ap plication of it. These, then, are the amendments we would for the pre sent suggest, with, perhaps, one addition—adverted to by both our authors : the substitution, here and there, of more appropriate, we had almost said less objectionable, lessons than some of those now standing in the calendar. Local and timely adaptation enters, as a principle, into our se lection from the Bible; there can he nothing chargeable with novelty, therefore, nothing irreverent, in contending for still more perfect adaptation, especially since it is abundantly clear that the Scriptures have their various uses, some being calculated for humiliating meditation in the very depths of privacy, and for a certain position of spiritual advancement; others for the mixed, and average, and congregational ear. In looking back at these suggestions for the improve ment of our Liturgy, we are struck with their fewness, and deem it a testimony to the astonishing wisdom with which the frame and fabric of our ritual have been com pacted. " See," we say, with the wondering disciples, " see, what manner of stones, and what buildings are here."—The last review was in the year 1661, but the substance of it is hundreds of years older. And though, if we could now interrogate the master-spirits who ar ranged it for "our house of defence and our castle," they would hardly reply, that it was intended to endure in its then accurate shape and proportions throughont all ages, and in any conceivable advancement of our spiritual knowledge ; yet, of such sound materials has it been corn posed, and like the portraits of some of our great paint* rs of past days, with such a large and Catholic relation to the general principles, which must ever discriminate at once and pervade eur human nature, that even now, in al;r, age so far snore civilized and learned than th4t in wh4 it bad its birth, how small a coomparative. iroprovermiat is needed. put here we are, obliged to ask a very painful question—, What avail the most Perfect services if the people cannot be disciplined to the lose of them, or cannot be present to join in them ? When we look abroad, and observe the paucity of our Ministers and of our Churches, we are re., luctautly constrained to confesA, that such is unhappily too truly the case in Protestant England ; in that coun try, whose religious character is supposed to be represented by, and identified with her natural Church The dissenting meetings throughout the land may be taken as a fair guage of the people's demands. They indicate with very tolerable correctness the poinSs where, and the extent to which, Churches were wanted—or if not literal pm - .:c1 - .es, at least io‘zai plimei of worship in con nection with" the establislinient—and what a tale of ne glect do they Proclaim ; what a scene of barrenness do they unfold. here was a time when the wish CAnqql was ade quate to the reeeptinn of it 3 popVlatiOn. And, to hear the clamour against dissent so frequently uttered, by appa rently thinking and well-informel men, one might be dis posed to believe, as it is evident they themselves do, that it n•as so still,—instead of being so utterly, so lamentably disproportioned. If population has oc,:opled itself, (to sta'e a rough calculation) and Churches have not even been doubled, why or. d we look farther fur the origin and growth of sectat ianism ;—and humiliating as it is to ask the question, what would now have been the religion of England without it? Our parochial Clergy again— the :accredited Ministers of the National Religion—the body of functions ies, whose " lips are to keep know- Ldge" for the mass of the people—the dehg ited way marks in the read to life—what is their numerical sufficiency? If the abstract question were asked any rea • sonably and conscientious person, alive to the spiritual interests of his fellow men, and aware of the difficulty of fixing their thoughts upon them, how many souls might safely be placed under the superintendance of a single pas tor, he might perhaps reply, a few hundreds. What would be think of our Church's claim to be deemed the " nursing mother" of the people,—what of our religion, what of our humanity, if he were told that it was a com mon thing, a thing no man wondered at, for one Clergy man to have the charge of as many thousands ? Most happily, all his nominal are not his real flock. Whilst in the eyes of the State they are so deemed, and whilst the unsllowing and unreflecting visit them with bitter words and hard thoughts, for a transftrence of al lei,Tiance, which they have no opportunity of maintaining, other teachers unauthorized, indeed, and unrecognized, step in and ease him of his most proportioned burthen. Even then he is so harassed beyord his means of endur ance, by multiplicity of duties, that it is no wonder it certain parts of them are perfunctorily done. It is no wonder, for instance, if sermons exhibit signs in their want of force and accuracy, of the distractions in the midst of which they are written—and the character of the pulpit falls below its just level. The admirable and truly Christian society, for building Churches, is, as far as its limited means allow, wiping out one reproach which has long been merited by us,—that of providing for the rich and reglecting the poor. A foreigner estimating our con • d.tion, by the appearance of our town Churches, would pronounce us a nation of opulents. It is no charac ,eristic of these that " to the poor the Gospel is preach e:l." That they are driven to hear elsewhere--and their affections have, consequently, and most naturally been given, where their interests have been most sedulously at tended to, that is, we regret to say it—to the Conven ticle. We contend, therefore, for a greater increase of Church of England places of worship—and a greater of Church of England pastors, as positively necessary for the maintenance of our name, and the satisfaction of our claims : and, what is still more vital, for the sound in struction of the people in religious and moral truth. But intimately and inseparably connected with such a provi sion are others also. Strictness of residence, for instance, not simply in subordinate, but in superior functionaries. If Parliamentary duties, or comtnendams—the former not to be dispensed with under any practical view of our civil and ecclesiastical Constitution, the latter a tempo rarily necessary aid to the straightened revenues of our literally poor Bishoprics—take our chief shepherds away from their charge, for any considerable portion of the year —as it is certain they do, with no small diminution of their• pastoral efficiency, no small detriment to the cause of religion, within their several jurisdictions,—substitutes, —" second selves"—should at least be provided—to carry on the chain of communication between the " head" and the " members ;" and to be present, and competent points of reference in these innumerable instances, and at those unremitting moments, when counsel, and comfort, and direction, are sought, and can from no point be de rived, but from the principal authority. Again—if residence' be enforced, residence must be made practicable and efficient, by a far more just distribu tion of " hire" to the " labourer," than exists even now, when the Curate's Bill has so much improved the pecuniary, and, with it, we hope the moral condition of that particular hard working functionary: Again, there is grievously wanted a new proportion of men to localities—either by leaving jurisdictions as they ate, and dividing them amongst other officers, or by par ing them down to narrower limits with the same. Finally—(And by this we mean—finally with te:pect to our present paper—not to the discussion itself, which might be extended to many a highly-interesting poi' t, not now touched upon)—it is only necessary dispassionately to weigh the arguments adduced by our author, and to compare them with the facts, coming within the range of their own experience, and which we earnestly entreat our readers to do, to be convinced how imperfect, and in applicable a system of discipline is to be found in our Canons. And now, before we conclude, a few words for our ,selves—we are most fully aware, under what hazard of unkind, and unharsh suspicion we have ventured upon this well nigh prohibited topic of Church refoi-m. And if we look forward thus early, it is really the spirit of one who would probe to heal, not to earn the poor praise of sharpsightedness, or of walking in an unfrequented and somewhat perilous path, reckless of other men's opinions. We are too affectionately, too unchangeably attached to our " first love," either to expose her defects, when pri vacy and quiet forbearance have the smallest chance of blotting them out, and restoring her to her strength and beauty, or of concealing them, when the remedy can only be found in a general conviction that she has her ailments, and in a general pressing forward to remedy them. The former would be cruelty, the latter treachery. The present Bishop of WINCHESTER has said, in his primary charge to the Diocese of LANDAFF, " There is no wisdom in shutting our eyes upon the face of the land, until others come in, and sow, and reap, in our own neglected vineyard." Now this appears to us a sentence worthy, for its wisdom and its manliness, to be treasured up in all our memories; and it may well serve both as a motto to our paper, and as an index to our design in com posing it. We have given it as a true but an imperfect delineation of our condition as Churchmen—we have slightly sketched what might have been expanded into volumes. We shall be satisfied, nevertheless, if the little that has been said, shall induce the candid and reflecting reader to peruse the book which heads our article, and to act as opportunity shall order, upon the highly interest ing reflection it cannot but suggest. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER left town yesterday, to join the party at Mr. Secretary PEEL'S residence, Stowe Hall, Norfolk. Sir GEORGE MURRAY transacted business with Lord HILL yesterday, at the office of the Commander of the Forces in the Horse Guards. The Russian Ambassador entertainad the Prussian Minister, the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, the Larl of ABEn.nEEN, and a select party to dinner, au Sunday, at Ashburnham }louse. DRURY LANE THEATRE.—The tragedy of Othello, so inseparably linked with the genius of KEAN, was last night performed at this theatre, on which occasion Mr. Your:o represented the " fiery" Moor. His apting was correct, as iv always is, but tame and unimpassioned. The earlier scenes were, however, acted in a masterly manner—it was only in the third Act that Mr. YOUNG was found wanting. His hurricane of passion wag too much like a Zephyr, it did not sweep over him with suf ficient power. Miss PHILLIPS made an interesting Des demona, and Mr. WALLACE a respectable lago. TOTTENHAM STREET THEATRE.—This theatre opened last night with the adaptation from The Marriage of Figaro, a pretty ballet entitled The Devi,dy in Distress, and a new piece, False and Cotst424, All the performances were well received by a crawde4 hou s e. Among the actors were our old favourites, VINING, LIAMS, Mrs. WAYLE'“, and Miss A. TREE, We b4lieve it is not generally known that the late Dr. T.

A. respectable correspondent, writing to us on the subject of the high prices still retained by retail dealers, particularly butchers, recommends to us to publish the names, addresses, and prices of those tradesmen who may signifytheir wil ling,ness to serve the public at reasonable rates. We would indeed advise those who have such a disposition, to make the fact known through the journals, and this is at once an easy and effec tual way of inviting customers—at least of invit • ing such customers as are not in the trammels of their own servants, or in the perhaps less servile state of being in debt to those whose articles they take. It is said that if prices universally fall, the interest of the national debt cannot be paid. What an absurdity! Surely the less a man pays for the necessary commodi!ies of lift., the more he will have left for the tax-gatherer, whether the taxation be for the current expenses of the Government, or on account of the con tracted debt of the country.—Times. We insert a long letter from Paris which we received yesterday. The writer is unknown to us, but he is evidently well acquainted with French affairs. His statements are, un questionably, startling, but they must speak for themselves. Jefferson, in his Memoirs, observes in his usual calm way—" The pecuniary dis tresses of France produced this year a measure of which there had been no example for near two centuries, and the consequences of which, good and evil, are not yet calculable. He observes towards the close of his Memoirs—" Here 1 discontinue any relation of the French _if evolu • Can. The minuteness with which I have so far given its details, is disproportioned to the general scale of my narrative. But I have thought it justified by the interest which the whole world must take in this Revolution. As yet we are but in the first chapter of its history.** We are yet, we believe, but in the first chapter of its history. If the Government do not, how ever, understand the nature of their situation, like all unfortunate speculators, they must pay for their mistakes. Our Correspondent, like another Cassandra, turns with dismay from the events which he predicts. We, on the contrary, are somewhat optimists in this respect. Nations never die, however Governments may change.— A Government ought to have no will dis tinct from that of the people, and it is clear that the French Government conceives itself to have a right to have a will of its own, and to impose that will on the People, from the circumstance that the property and intelligence of the country are arrayed against it. There can be no peace till the question is settled, whether the will of the French People shall be obeyed by their Executive, or the Executive shall force the French People to obey its will. Between France and England there is all the difference in the world, and those who would reason from England to France must commit serious mistakes. France is essentially a De mocracy. The estates of the Nobility were cut up at the Revolution, and the law which divides the estates among the children is one which can only be changed by a revolution, because any new law of so violent a character as to deprive the children vested with rights under the law, is not to be thought of in peaceable times. The immense estates of the Church, which gave such immense power to a Corporation identical in interest with the Nobility were also cut up. What is there, then, to oppose to the popular will ? A Monarchy, without an Aristocracy, must soon resolve itself into a Democracy. The King can only exist by considering himself as the first Magistrate of the country, the organ of the popular will, with no power but that which the law gives him. Tile sort of power to be derived from a Church without property is nothing when opposed to the will of the people, serving indeed only to irritate. The Bourbons are misled by their recollections ; they should forget the History of France before th e Revolution, and resign themselves patiently to the condition in which alone they can exert that of hereditary first Magistrates of the nation.— England is differently circumstanced, England is essentially an Aristocracy, because, by time ex isting Constitution, the Aristocracy dictate the laws. The possessors of great properties and boroughs draw along with them all the power and influence of the country. Occasionally these great properties are divided, and a clever and active King may manage to have considerable influence by playing off one party against an other. But the people are nothing. In France there is nothing to oppose to the people but mi., litary force, which never can be relied in times of popular agitation, because the soldiery are carried away by the general enthusiasm. B ut in England, no appeal to the people can ever, introduce into Parliament a power equal to the power which now commands the resources of the country. We have more than once observed that the example of England has misled the Governments of the Continent, There cannot long exist in any country two powers in colli sion with each other. The Continental States have supposed tho possibility of combining a representation of the people with a power to con troul that zepresentatton. They s have not been able to discover that England has not a popular representation, and that the machinery by whi c h England has, to appearance a popular representa tion, while, in reality, the repreF.entation is merely a mode in which the Ariste, erae y act through the instrumentality of a part, of the people as 4 :noir tools, cannot be crPated. The Governments of Europe, whether they are called Representative Monarchies, as France, or single; Monarchies, as, Prussia, are all much nearer Democracy than England, and they every day receive more and more a democratic tendency. The King of Prussia, for instance, is merely the first Magis trace of the kingdom. Everything is popular ; the Church Establishments, the Universities, the Army, the Councils of Government.

pnpulace was played off' with great effect by the triumvirate of • 'Po *—ilirris, the Engli s h Ambas _ _ sador, afterwards Lord Malmesbury, the Prince of 4 Orange, a stupid man, and the Princess, as much a man as either - of her colleagues in audaciousness, in enterprize, and in the thirst of domination. By these the mobs of the Hague were excited against the members of the States-General; their persons were insulted and endangered in the streets; the sanctuary of their houses were violated; and the Prince, whose function and duty it was to repress and punish these violations of order, took no steps for that purpose. The States-General, for their own protection, were, therefore, obliged to place their militia under the command of a Committee The Prince filled the Courts of London and Beilin with complaints at this usurpation of his preroga - - tives; and forgetting that he was but the first ser vant of a Republic, marched his regular troops against the City of Utrecht, where the States were in Session. They were repulsed by the militia. Ilia interests now became marshalled with those of the public enemy and against his own country. The States, therefore, exercising the rights of Sove reignty, deprived him of all his powers." The Prussians, backed by England, marched an army into Holland for the sacred cause of the Stadtholder ; and if France had not been bullied, the resources of this country and of Prussia would have been expended in a war to which the interest of the two countries was a stranger. It is some consolation to think that the wasteful expenditure of this and other coun tries in wars, without an object, have greatly contributed to the wisdom of the existing Go vernments. Should the French Government persist in misundertanding its true situation, and force on a crisis, the neighbouring Govern ments will be cautious how they embroil them . - selves with French affairs. As to England, once the most busy meddling power in the whole world, she is now as wise as any one could wish her to be. The instinct of self-preservation dic tates prudence, and an abstinence from rash in tilgences.--Morning Chronicle. We perfectly agree with a correspondent that the language used by Mr. Walker, the Magis trate of Lambeth-street, with respect to the poor laws, deserves the severest reprehension. We do not know whether the Guardians of the Poor of the Parish of St. Anne, Linzehouse, are remarkable for the strictness or the laxity with which they administer those laws, but when the worthy Magistrate, in his Circular, addressed to those officers, speaks of his " thorough convic tion, from lopg experience, of the impolicy, cruelty, and,unchristian tendency of the poor laws, and his earnest desire, by a strict adinini stration, to facilitate their abolition," we must tell him that he travels beyond the bounds of his duty to endeavour to bring into hatred and contempt that portion of the law of the land which has its origin in Christian charity, and is the inheritance of the poor. We admit the ex istence of numerous abuses which have grown up under the poor laws, by which their beneficent effect is much impaired; but Mr. Walker comes forward to arraign their principle in its purest ope ration, for lie says that he bas an earnest desire, by a strict administration, to facilitate their aboli tion; which is equivalent to saying that the more properly they are executed the more improper they will appear. He must, therefore, wish the public to believe that the excrescences of the system tend to reconcile society to the system itself—that the deviation from the original prin ciple tends to conceal the inherent deformity of its nature, which is " cruel, impolitic, and un christian," and that the system only wants to be • strictly, that is, in other words, correctly ad ministered, to be no longer endured. Now that any man, and especially a Magistrate, should dare, even in the present day of paradox and false philosophy, to give utterance to such a sentiment, does somewhat astonish us. We know, indeed, that Mr. Walker's opinion is not new, for we recollect that a Morning Paper, now strenuously recommending the introduction of the poor laws into Ireland, was not very long ago, as - earnestly labouring to eradicate them, as a pest and mischief, from the soil of England. There is no disputing about tastes ; and we should not quarrel with the worthy Magistrate for taking up the cast-off opinions of that Journal, and enforcing them by all the eloquence of his pen, if he did not hold a situation which might make the declaration of his senti ments on this subject extensively injurious. We tell Mr. Walker that so far are the poor laws, when strictly administered, from being of a cruel impolitic, and unchristian tendency, that they are of the very essence of sound social policy and Christian benevolence. We tell him they are founded in that wisdom which takes a compre hensive view of the interests of humanity, and that they ratify with the sanctions of law one of the noblest principles of that religion to which our temples are consecrated, Is it of the -spirit of cruelty, or of Christian charity, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to be eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame, to help him that is ready to perish, and to open the hand of bounty to the widow and the fatherless in affliction ? These duties the Poor Laws inculcate, and they leave not the performance of them to chance or to casual compassion, but they make an observ ance of the claims of humanity imperative, and consecrate a portion of the wealth of the coin :nullity as the fund of the destitute—the inalien able property of the poor. Surely the relief , tvhich for centuries the Legislature has set apart to those benevolent purposes, the poor man has as much right to as Mr. Walker has to his sa lary. The one as well as the other comes out of takes necessarily levied upon the public.— The motives of the worthy Magistrate may be most pure and upright—he may imagine he is acting with great wisdom and patriotism in endeavouring to facilitate the abolition of those laws which—in the name of huma nity, of nature, and religion—declare that no man shall perish of starvation in England. But a wiser Dispenser of justice than Mr. Walker has declared; in that Book which, notvvithstand ing the lights of modern philosophy, contains more of the true science of Government than the political economists have yet taught the world—" Whoso stopped' his ears to the cry pf the poor, he shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." The enactors of the Poor Laws did not stop their ears to the cries of the poor— they gave them a perinanent .provision from the State, in place of the, contributions levied on the wealthy and humane by the importunities of vagrant mendicancy. The 43d Eliobeth may be called the Magna (Marta of the poor=--that Act contains in few words the comprehensive principle of the Poor Laws. It directs the Overseers, &c. of every parish, by taxation of every inhabitant, &c. to raise, weekly or other wise, a convenient stock of flax, hemp, ,vool, thread, iron, and other ware and stuff, to set the poor on work ; and also competent sums of money for and towards the necessary relief of the lame, impotent, blind, old, and such among them being poor and not able to work, and also f ir putting out poor children as apprentices. This is the pure and strict principle of the Poor Laws. The abuses which lidve grown up un der the system it is not necessary here to touch upon, because Mr. Walker denounces those Laws, independently of their abu - ec.; Int, un til he substitutes some more eligible scheme of charity, we hope the principle of the Poor Laws will be as enduring as the Constitution of Eng- land.—Morning Herald. We promised in our paper of yesterday to lay before our rewlers some additional facts and ob servations respecting the state of trade, and the prospects of the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural classes, and we now address our selves to the task. The accounts of the state of trade in the provincial papers are in a few in “ances contradictory. At Huddersfield, it is stated, that " there is no improvement in trade, that is to say, that there is no improvement in prices or wages:" and at Bradford again, " that the demand for fine goods still continues brisk, and that a great deal of them were sold in Thursday's market." The same discrepancy in point of facts would be observed in the accounts given by the Manchester Courier and the Manchester Advertise?, which appeared in our yesterday's paper ; and a similar remark ap plies to those of the Leeds papers—one of them asserting that " leaving out of considera tion the reduced scale of the establish ments, out of 2,240 looms, the customary number in bad ti?nes, no less than 785 are idle ; and a considerable portion of those are only partially employed ; while more, it would seem, are worked to keep up a show of work ;''' and the other declaring that there is consider able exaggeration in the statement, and that more looms are employed, and for a greater length of time, than the other has given credit for. The Leeds Mercury, in fact, reduces the number of unemployed looms to about 200, which, it adds, is about as small a number as can be found un employed at any time in Leeds. There is one sentence, however, in the leading article of the Mercury, qn the subject, which speaks volumes on the present state of trade. " Many of the manufacturers," says it, " are already engaged in preparing for the spring trade, though the merchants and retail dealers do not begin to lay in their stocks till after the commencement of the year." On the other hand—for we are anxious to put our readers in possession of the truth—the demand for cotton in the Liverpool market has been buisk ; but whether for imme diate consumption, or the spring. trade, does not appear. Turning from the commercial and ma nufacturing to the agricultural classes, we regret to find no change of scene. Agricultural pro duce is always in demand, and except in the worst of times, finds a market, sooner or later; but the prices have greatly declined within the last eighteen months, and the farmer who had contracted to pay a high rent in paper-money, now finds himself unable to meet his landlord's demand in the augmented currency in which, and in no other, must he now pay it. This fact is confessed by the Leeds Mercury, which has the following sensible observations on the sub ject : " The reduction of rents," says it, " appears to us not merely a measure of humanity on the part of landed proprietors to their tenants, but of sound policy, and even of necessity. It is manifest that the value of money has been increased, and the no minal value of produce lowered, by the return to a metallic currency ; and it is therefore impossible for farmers, who before only just obtained a subsistence out of their farms, to continue to pay the same rents which they have paid hitherto. An attempt to wring from them the same rents would either com pel the farmer to throw up his farm or it would ruin him. Those who are bound by leases ought to have their rents lowered, as well as those who take from year to year; otherwise every future year of their lease will reduce their means, and sink them deeper in insolvency. We are convinced that the reduction of rents must become general through the country, and that the sooner it is made the better it will be both for landiords and tenants. It cannot be for the interest of landlords, in the long run, to grind down their tenants by excessive rents ; because this must lead either to a change of tenants, which is generally attended with loss on the part of the landlord, or ti the throwing of farms on the land lord's hands. By a timely reduction of rent the farmer may be saved, and the connection between him and the proprietor continue to be mutually beneficial." We fear, however, that the farmer who calcu lates on the liberality of his landlord in reducing his rent, in proportion to the augmented value of the currency, will calculate without his host. The land-owners generally, neither understand th e c i ub j eet, nor, if they did, would they be inclined to agree to any measure of equitable adjustment, until the fear of having their land returned upon them, had become more visible than it has yet been. They will have their " pound of flesh" for their " ounce of gold," while. a pound remains; and nothing, we are convinced, can possibly save the farmer from their ruinous gripe, but a legislative measure, which by realising the farmer from his contract with the landowner, and enabling him to make a new bargain, may afford him a chance of ap portioning his rent to the increased value of the currency in which it is to be paid. Now what is the result of the preceding facts and observa tions? First, that trade and agriculture are in a very unprofitable, not to say ruinous state, in consequence of a fall in wages, prices, and profits ; and, secondly, that though not wholly cuing to the increased value of the currency, these fesults have been immediately caused by it. Confirmatiouz Of the truth of the latter doctrine are now pouring in upon us from all quarters. However despicable the one and two-pound. ncites may be, or might have been in the eyes of some pea.o.ns, it is now found that the country cannot do without them—that we are too poor in fact, to afford to jay for every thing in gold, and that unless a correspo,r.ding reduction is made in the public burthens, these same despised rags, with their equally despised issuers, must be called in to assistthe public in getting through its difficulties. 'l'o-morrow we shall resume this iubjpct. In the mean time we submit the following just ponclusions from the above facts and reasoning, frotA tiie Leeds Mercury:— " If the landlord," says " is compelled to his rents, it is manifest that tie public func tionary to submit to a reduction of his meaty. Many public officers had their salaries and allow ances raised during the we-7, on the express ground of an increased price of all corron.s4ikies, caused by :he depreciation in the value of money. the same r2eson those salaries ought now to be reduced to their torrcz; amount ; money has regained its value, the price a g. commodities has fallen, and these functionaries are the;.e.fcsre receiving a larger payment than it was intended they che4ld receive. In the present state of the country it is the impera tive duty of Government to enforce the utmost practicable economy in every department of the public serviee. Now that the disconteuts of Ireland are appeased, and the war in the East terininated„ eve should think that a reduction might, with per fect safety, be made in the number of our forces." " As it is the duty of Government to grant a reduction of the taxes, so it is the interest of the people to ask for it. All panics are agreed as to the existence of distress, and all parties ought therefore to concur in demanding an alleviation of the public burdens. Those especially who see no thing but despair and ruin in the aspect of affairs, ought to direct their efforts to this practical mode (if relief, instead of keeping up a clamour which can answer no end but to gratify party spirit. The Ultra Tories will adopt this course, unless their oh iect is merely to force their way back to power-- not to advance their country's good. Let the dif ficulties of the nation be insisted upon, but let it be for some useful end. Let us not waste our strength in idle disputation, but let us all join in impressing the necessities of the people onyarlia mew. By so doing every economical disposition in the Ministry and the Legislature will be confirmed, every tendency to needless expenditure checked, and a powerful motive imparted to reduce the ex tent of our establishments and the pressure of the taxes."—illorning Advertiser. A report has been for some time in circula tion that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to propose to the holders of Four per Cent. Government Annuities the alternative of accepting a reduced rate of interest, or of having their annuities redeemed at par. On the truth or falsehood of this rumour we are not about to offer any opinion, excepting that we are per suaded it does not rest upon the authority of any disclosure which can have emanated from an official quarter. The character of the Adminis tration is a sufficient pledge that a resolution of this nature would not be suffered to transpire by means of any premature and partial revelation ; and that the official reserve which has hitherto distinguished his Majesty's present Ministers would not, for the first time, be laid aside on an occasion upon which the advantage of indi vidual speculators only could be promoted by its cessation. The report therefore we take to be founded solely upon the ge neral grounds of the facility which it may be supposed the present state of the mo ney market would afford to such an ope ration ; and the duty, at all times imperative upon Government, to avail itself of every legitimate means, and every favourable op portunity, of lightening the public burdens. We advert to this subject because we find some of our contemporaries disposed to censure Govern. ment by anticipation on account of this measure, and to bespeak the commiseration of the public for .the fundholders whose incomes are liable to reduction. This is an error in the opposite direction to that (and less censurable certainly, inasmuch as it is on the side of generosity) which we have too often had occasion to correct, of representing a temporary pressure on the national finances as a sufficient cause or apology for a breach of national faith. Our contempo raries, rather than be without a pretence for com plaint, are now ready to contend that the fund holder ought to have more than Government has contracted to -pay, although on many former occasions they have contemplated, with out much apparent repugnance, his being compelled to put up with less. The true doctime we apprehend to be—and it is so plain that deviation on either side seems scarcely possible—that Government ought to reduce the charges upon the public to the lowest amount which fair dealings towards individuals will admit, but on no account, nor under the in fluence of any temptation whatever, to attempt reduction beyond this point. The question then is, will Government deal fairly towards this particular class of fundholders if it should re duce them to choose between the redemption of their stock at par and the diminution of their dividends ? And upon this question there cannot, we think, be any doubt. Government, in the original contract by which these annuities were created, reserved to itself the right of re deeming them, after a certain period, now past, and for this right the public paid an adequate price by receiving as the consideration for them a smaller sum than would have been their fair value had they then been made irredeemable. Their price in the market also has been con stantly less than it would have been, but for the universal knowledge that they were subject to redemption or reduction. What corn plaint then can be reasonably made on be half eithei of the original holders of these se curities, or of those who have purchased them at any subsequent period, in case the option contemplated by the contract to which they have become the voluntary parties should now be offered them ? There is only one supposition upon which the good faith and honourable con duct of Government in such a transaction could be impeached, that of its having by some tem porary expedients forced up the price of the public securities with a view to promote the success of the meditated operation. From this suspicion the Government, in the case under our consideration, would be wholly free, inasmuch as by the measures which have been adopted for the regulation of the Currency, it has divested itself of the power, even if it had the inclination, to produce an occasional or artificial advance in the price of any descrip tion whatever of commodity or security. The only means now left to Government of affecting the market value of the National Securities is its manner of conducting the affairs of the State. If this be such as inspires general confidence, and is thought likely to promote the general welfare and prosperity of the country, it is na tural that the Funds should be high ; but it will scarcely be pretended that the character and con duct of Government give any class of fund holders a just occasion of complaint merely be cause it is their natural tendency to produce this state of things. — Morning P. A Morning Contemporary yesterday, in allu-H sion to the surrender by the Duke of Welling- ton of the emoluments of his office as Warden of the Cinque Ports, remarks upon the " vanity" and " affectation" of its being remitted to the Exchequer. The amount of the sum so ten dered to the exigencies of the State has little to do with the principle upon which the Noble Duke has acted, and we cannot divine how an example so worthy of imitation by every public man, can with justice be considered as the result of " vanity" or " affectation." But the.ernolu tnents of the office, it is asserted, arise from fees," and if the office be " unnecessary" the fees should be " aboli'Shed" rather than when collected be handed over to the Exchequer. Now admitting that the emoluments arise from fees, it by no means follows than office h unnecessary. It is„an office of ancient standing, of great trust and honour, and like many others of similar importance, has been filled by some of the most eminent men this country has produced. The Courts of the Cinque Ports have duties and prerogatives attached to them, not very dissiria-,.r to those of the Counties Palatine, and particularly an exclusive jurisdiction (before the Mayor and Jurats of the ports, Dover, Sand- Rotnney, Hastings, and Hythe, to which Winebelsea and Rye have since been added), in which exclusive jurisdiction the King's writ does nor run. A writ of error lies from the Mayor and Jurats of each port to the Lord 'Warden of the Cimre Ports in his Court of _Shepway, and from the Coult of Shepway to. the King's Bench ; so likewise a writ of error lies from all the other jurisdictions to the Su preme Court of Judicature, as an ensign of su periority reserved to the Crown at the ori ginal creation of the franchises. And all pre rogative writs (as those of habeas corpus, prohibitions, certiorari, and mandamus) may issue, for the same reason, to all those exempt jurisdictions ; because the privi lege that the King's writ does not run must be intended between party and party, for there can be no such privilege against the King. (See 3. Blackstone, " Courts of Special Jurisdiction," and the authorities there recited.) . Now whether courts such as the CinqUe Ports, and whether the office of head of these courts, ought to be abolished, we do not pretend to say ; but it is clear that until some other jurisdiction' be ap pointed to supply that which has been so long and so beneficially established, the office of Head Warden is necessary, and must be continued. It is asserted that if the office be paid by " fees," and little or nothing be done, they should not be exacted, they should beremitted to the payers : if it be an office requiring care and attention, they should be retained. Blackstone has shown the latter position to be the correct one; and therefore s'e argue that the fees being handed over to the be nefit of the State, a manifest desire is pro tanto evinced on the part of the Duke of Wellington to lend a helping hand to relieve the necessities of the country. We set out with saying that the amount (somewhat above 1,0001.) had no thing whatever to do with the generosity .of the principle, and we feel satisfied there is not a man of upright or honourable mind in the com munity, who will not share in our opinion. The miserable cavilling by which it is assailed, and the more miserable suppositions upon which the attempt at reasoning it down is supported, are their own sufficient condemnation.—lbid. - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE Mr. Bowler, Secretary to the Mines Royal Cop per Company, Upper Thames -street, appeared at the Justice-room to prefer a charge against two men named Bay lit and Baker. _ _ Mr. Bowler stated, that Baker, who is a porter, called at the Company's office, on Friday, with a mitten order for some copper, professing to come from Mr. Butler, of Wigmore-street, a customer of the company. The order was for lcwt. 661b.--2oz. It occurred to him that the writing was not that of Mr. Butler, and he was soon confirmed irethe opinion by that gentleman himself, who happened to call. The prisoner was absent at this time, but he returned in a quarter of an hour for the copper, which was given to him by the direction of the witness, who took care that he should .be followed, in order, if possible, to trace the imposture to its source. John Mitchell, warehouseman to the Company, accompanied by two officers, followed from the Company's premises. Baker went along without stopping anywhere, until he reached Fleet-market. There he stopped upon being met by Baylis, the other prisoner, to whom he delivered the bill.of parcels. The two prisoners then went on con versing together as far as Shoe-lane, when Baylis ran away, leaving Baker with the load of copper still in his possession. Neither witness nor the officers had spoken to the prisoners at the time. They continued to follow Baker, who went as far as Seven Dials, when he was apprehended in a public.house by an officer. Betterton, the officer confirmed this account, and added, Baylis had been taken in Shoe-lane unknown to Baker. The pris'oners were both remanded. Amongst the paupers who were brought up was a wretched young woman, about 20 years of age, with a child in her arms, and accompanied by a sister who appeared rather idiotic than insane. The mi serable group had been found the preceding night in a perishing state. They had but just arrived in London from Staffordshire. The husband was out of employment, and had come to town in search of some; but under one of those unaccountable im pulses which misery sometimes communicates to her victims, whether in the selfish hope of providing for himself, or at the vague suggestion of despair, he snatched a kiss from his infant, ran off from his fa mily, and has not since been heard of. Such was the exhaustion of the mother, that the infant had been some days deprived of its natural nourishment. They were ordered to be taken care of in the workhouse. GUILDHALL William Davit, a miserable looking creature, was brought before Mr. Alderman VENABLES yesterday, charged with sneaking into a ebeesemonger's shop, kept by Mr. Bedell, in Ling•street, Cloth-fair, be tween ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday forenoon, and stealing about ten pounds of bacon. The pri soner, observing no person in the shop, walked in, coolly unbuttoned his coat, and was going away with the bacon, when pursued by a young man who had been watching him, and secured. " What are you ?" said the Magistrate, address ing the officer, William Smith, who appeared some what intoxicated. Officer—l am a constable of the liberty of St. Bartholomew, not within the city of London. ALDEKMAN—I was aware it is not in the city. You St. Bartholomew•men are, I know, very tena cious .of your privileges. Officer—My dear, Sir (checking himself), Mr. Alderman, I have something to state. The pro secutor don't wish to prosecute in this case. ALDERMAN—Attend to me. What do you know respecting this charge ? Officer (boisterously)— Nothing at all.—(A laugh.) ALDERMAN—Do you know at what hour you were sent for? Officer—No; I cannot tell exactly. I am sure it was before twelve, by my business. ALDERMAN—What business? Officer—l am a baker. ALDERMAN—You received charge of this man for stealing the bacon ? Officer—Yeq, Sir. ALDERMAN—What have you drank this morn ing? Officer—Me l Nothing but what is useful, and it has nothing to do with the case. The ALDERMAN (peremptorily).—Answer the question, and remember you are on your oath.— What have you drank this morning ? Officer— Nothing more than I do every day. ALDERMAN—weII, give me the particulars. Offi cer—Whz, I drink a glass of gin the first thing in the morning, and at eleven o'clock in the day a pint of beer, and that will do nobody harm. (A roar of laughter.) ALDERMAN—You are fined .ss. for being drunk, and let the case stand over till tomorrow, when the prosecutor must attend, and I hope you will come sober. The ofiicer was so surprised tit this decision, that he submitted to it quietly. BOW-STREET. Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of police, waited yesterday upon Mr. Mussuuti., and stated that one of the men of his division had been charged with an 8a upon a person in B e df or db ur y. Th e matter s was atr°et u matterfe rred to the Commissioners of Police, who were under the impression that the constable was wrong, and that he ought to be fined for his mis conduct. The complaivaptlad made a demand of 5/. as compensation, which sum the6rnmissioners conceived v.as too much, and they accordingly refer red the matte! to the Magistrates for their decision._ Mr. MINSIIULL had no objection to hear,the case; but if he inflicted a fine upon the constable, it wenld go to the King, and not to the injured party, as he had made it a rule not to grant parties compensation in money in cases of assault. The complainant and defendant were then called forward. The former, whose name is William Sully, and who resided in York-street, -Rothe'.tithe, exhi bited several patches upon his face, and both his eyes appeared discoloured. The name of the de fendant is Thomas Travers. The facts of the case appeared to be as follow : On Sunday evening the defendant was passing through Bedfordbury, when he saw the cart of the complainant standing at the door of the Lemon Tree public-house, and as No person appeared to attend to it, he was about to convey it to the green-yard, and for that purpose took hold of the horse's head,.when the complainant came from the public-house, and an altercation commenced between the constable and him, which ended in the assault complained of. — The constable positively declared, however, that before he used his staff he had been struck three times. He also stated, that the wheels of the cart were on the foot-path; but this was positively de nied by the complainant and two witnesses whom he brought forward, and who alleged further that the defendant was intoxicated at the time. Mr. MINSHULL said, that in his opinion the de fendant ought to be fined. Mr. HALLS said, that in his opinion no fine ought to be inflicted upon the constable. It was certainly :very wrong of him to use his staff in the manner he had done, but he had been struck three times before he did so. The charge was then dismissed, with the under standing that it was open to the complainant to in dict the constable at the sessions. An infamous old Jewess, named Sarah Levy, was brought before Mr. HALLS, by Serjeant Love grove, by whom she was charged with having been in New -street, Covent-garden, on Sunday night, encouraging one of her dress girls to lay hold of a gentleman, for the purpose of decoying him to La zenby-court, where she keeps an infamous brothel. Neither the girl, however, nor the gentleman, were in attendance to give evidence against the defend dant, whom Mr. HALLS was reluctantly obliged to discharge for want of the necessary proof to establish a case against her. Mr. Harmer, as the defendant's solicitor, com plained that his client had been detained all night in the watch-house, although good bail had been offered for her appearance in the morning. Inspector Rogers rejected the bail on account of the notorious character of the defendant, who was one of the most infamous old bawds in the district. Mr. Harmer warmly contended that the inspec tor had no right to set himself up as a judge in such matters. The Inspector replied, that the New - Police Act gave power to the police to reject bail when offered for persons of notoriously bad character. Mr. HALLS said, that the Act certainly gave the power mentioned, and in exercising that power in the present instance he considered that the inspector had acted very properly, as it was sufficiently nbto rious that the defendant Levy was a woman of the most infamous character. UNION HALL Yesterday soon after the arrival of the Magistrates Mr. Wardel, the proprietor of the Equestrian Tavern and Coffee-house, near the Surrey Theatre, accom panied by a gentleman, named Cummine, attended for the purpoie of detailing the particulars relative to an act of self-destruction, contemplated by a gen tleman named R. B. Watts, formerly box-keeper of Drury-lane Theatre, and who was also founder of a society called the " Philanthropic,'.' which, since its formation, has contributed to the relief of the sick and indigent. The uofortuuate gentleman alluded to, it appears, was only within a few years back in very easy circumstances, but owing to losses he sustained, his circumstances of late have been so excceedingly straightened, as to produce great de pression of spirits, which operated so strongly on his mind as to render his life a burden to him, and induced him to come to the determination of corn tnitting an act from which, as will be . seen in the following statement, he was by a miracle preserved. Mr. Wardel. elated, that offthe preceding night Mr. Watts, whom he had knoWn before, came to his +(else and took a seat in the corner of one of the boxes in the coffee-room. There were two other gentlemen there at the time, one of whom having some knowledge of Mr. Watts' features, and seeing. that he appeared very much agitated, asked *Whet her he was not the founder of the Philanthropic, the in quirer himself being a member of the Institution. Mr.W. having replied in the affirmative, the gentleman. requested that he would make known to them his situa tion, adding that it was obvious he was in trouble, and that they should feel pleasure in relieving his peseta situation as far as their pecuniary assistance could be available. He however concealed the cause of his uneasiness of mind, until Mr. Wardel, on enter ing the room, and having been made acquainted with the circumstance, at length prevailed en Mr. Watts to walk into a private room, and he was there urged to state the cause of his apparent dis tress of mind. He then, with considerable reluct ance, admitted that he was suffering from poverty and misfortune, and drawing forth a small parcel from his coat-pocket, sealed.. up and directed for " Mr. Stevens, Duke's Head, Margate," placed it in the hands of Mr. Wardel, with a v request that he would forward it to Margate,as soon as he could con veniently. The parcel was received into the hands of Mr. - Wardel, who with two gentlemen present, (Mr. Cummine and another), immediately presented him with some money for his present necessities, at the same time informing him that they sheuld take an opportunity of mentioning the misfortunes under which he laboured to some friends who had known him under different circumstances, in order that something might be .done to relieve him from his embarrassments. For 'these kindly offers on the part of Mr. Wardel and the other two gentlemen, Mr. Watts returned the most heartfelt thanks, and he then left the house, after having declared that if he was alive he should call on the Tuesday (this slay), for the purpose of ascertaining what his friends had done for him in the interim. On quitting the house, notwithstanding the kind and soothing con duct with which he was treated by the individuals above named, it was evident to them that he mani fested great lowness and depression of spirits, and fearing that he meditated self-destruction, they in stantly broke open the small parcel he had entrusted into Mr. Warders hand, and found therein the fol lowing letter addressed to Mr. Stevens, Duke's Head, Margate, from which will be gathered the desperate resolution of the unfortunate writer " Kind, kind Friends,—l have frequently attempted to write to you, but up to this moment could not. That you have concluded me ungrateful, I have no doubt ; but no, indeed, indeed I have not. I have been deceived, and wanted nerve to meet it. That you have been a father and brother to me, I have ever said. The greatest misfortune that can befal man is to be gifted with a heart to feel, without the power to relieve. lam one of its victims; and if I had a window in my breast, you would see a heart that never intended wrong to any one. I should like to shake your hands once more, but that cannot be. Believe me, I feel the great kindness I have received; and finding no chance of repaying it, I cannot live. Accept my thanks : it is all I have to give. I send my tickets to Susan : I hope she will take them out, and keep them for my sake—the ring, &c. God bless you; good wishes to Mrs. Stevens : they are the only acknowledgment I can make. I would write to Mr. Salter, but cannct. Ask him and all my friends to accept my best wishes . for their good, not forgetting the kind intentions of Dr. Jarvis Wid dington, &c. Up to yesterday there was some hope : it is now over. I have made free with friends, and increased my own misery ; but before you receive this, I shall be no more. God bless you! Should my body be found, give it to some hospital ; it is the last good I can do mankind. Forgive me—God forgive me ! "My boxes you will find at the office. Send for them, and do with the few things as jou like. Look over my papers: there are some worth keeping. " Yours, " It. B. WATTS. " N.B. 'gversfield is no man." Tht, moment the intention of the writer was disco vered on the perysal of the above letter, Mr. War del and Mr. Cummine hurried, off in quest of the unfortunate man, in order to prevent him from car rying his intentions into effect: They set out in contrary directions, and one of them came up with Mr. Watts in the Waterloo -road as he was hasten ing forward at a quick rate towards Waterloo bridge. Ple was conducted back to whence he 107: out, and Mr. Wardel considering it unsafe that he should be p erm itt e d t o b e l e f t a l one a f ter wards, A s ."_ him taken to a house in the neighbourhood or 0 office, where a person was engaged to sit up 1 011 him the whole of the night to prevent him from Isr ing violent hands upon himself. Amongst th ° papers sealed up in the packet were found, belichti several duplicates of jewellery, the following pot!. addressed to Mr. Watts.:— " Mrs. Ceutts has been out of town, or . would bal e sent the enclosed sooner for Mr. Watts' benefit.--Aag• " Mr. Watts,—With the Duke of Sussex's best wish. : Mr. Wardel told the magistrates that Mr. Wad e ' during the time he was box-keeper at Drury-lea e ' was greatly respected by all who knew him. Aft er he had left that situation he proceeded to iVlargate, where he had the arrangement of the aquatic fell' vities at the time the Duke of Clarence visited tha t town. Mr. Watts was also connected with the theatre of that place, and his liberality and benefe' fence of heart were well known to those who wer e acquainted with him. Mr. HouNit asked Mr. Wardel if he was aware most of the unfortunate man's friends were ee' quainted with his misfortunes ?—Mr. Wardel stated that he was a man of such acute feeling that he Wa' persuaded he would not make his 'situation known. Mr. HONE said he was of opinion, if the present condition of the unfortunate man was made know" to the Society of which he Wab the founder, n o doubt the Governors, or persons in authority, wo ul d call a meeting for the purpose of devising rotates alleviating his misfortunes. Mr. Wardel said, that Mr. Watts was known yid respected by several of the higher classes, whom h e. was assured, if aware of his distresses, would render that assistance which would relieve him faun W s present difficulties, and be the means of preventing him from committing an act of self-destruction. Mr. HONE—It appeArs that the unfortunate man is a victim of his own sensibility. The Mafk a tre g t l then eulogized the conduct pursued by Mr. - " — i6 and Mr. Cummine in the a ff a ir. Th e y were t he means no doubt, of saving the life of a fellow creature ; and if the circumstances detailed by the m obtained insertion in the newspapers, he had veff little doubt those who had known Mr. Watt sande far different circumstances, would come forward e e , the occasion. Amongst the papers in the packet that was brae? . •open, was also found a statement, drawn up in g r '., Watts's hand-writing, detailing the facts of his ha" ing lent a Colonel in the Army 3001. a short tie' ago, immediately after this the borrower 'took the, benefit of the Act, and the result was the loss 01 the whole sum to Mr. Watts.. This circumstan ce • seems to have acted very strongly on the poor tune mind, in addition to his other misfortunes. • Previous to Mr. Wardel leaving the office, he stated that Mr. Watts should remain at the where he then was under the care of a person, unti l something might be done for him. The Earl of PEMBROKE, by his father , death, inherits an ample fortune, resulting from vane' entailed estates.

FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.—Last We ek ' as Lieutenant Nrcrioaas, of Fowey, was fishing at sonln distance from the harbour, he observed a number of sea" fowl hovering over his boat. Having thrown out his line, baited by a sand-eel, one of the birds instantly seized it, and was hauled alongside, but escaped before it could be secured. Again the line was thrown out, and again the bird (a mur), pounced On the bait, but it got free again. -On the line being committed a third time to the Water, the same bird eagerly darted at the bait, and so effectually swallowed the hook, as to be taken. After this successful haul, the bait was refitted and the line again thrown , when a gull seized the tempting morsel, and was secured. Both birds were brought alive to Fowey.— Cornwall Gal' ANECDOTE OF DR. JOHNSON.—AMO n g the anecdotes of this great literary Leviathan we hav e heard related, and which have not, so far as our rotate tion is to be credited, before appeared in print, is the P l ' lowing short but pithy one :—During the Doctor's teniii°l rary residence in Edinburgh, one of the most influere of the then Magistrates, distinguished alike far his su e bility and proud spirit, called at the Inn in which the her icographer " put up," for the purpose of paying his spects to him. The Doctor happened at the time to b e one of his sullen morose fits, and did n ot deign to tr eat the magisterial gentleman in a manner even approaching to the cowman courtesies of life. The latter, alter r e peated ineffectual attempts to draw the Doctor into 1: versation, at length rose and vi o l en tly rang the be vy JOHN promptly appeared, upon whi c h the functio onr i presented him with half-a-crown, adding in a tn rie . ke mingled indignation and sarcasm, " Here, waiter, that for a sight of your southern bear.—Elgin COr': of When JAMES the First * arrived at the cs P ig big of his dominions, he observed that the h e ad Ntia' t° „ - a tri for the body ; and told the nobility that at their c ° "„ seats they appeared like great ships in a river, but i° t he don like cock-boats on the ocean.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Sir A. GRANT, and others, brought up from the House of Commons the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, which was read a first time. On the motion of the Earl of MALMESEVRY, se veral returns were ordered of the quantity of foreign grain imported into this country since July last. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.—(PETITIONS.) Petitions, praying that no farther concessions may he granted to the Rotnan Catholics, were presented from Falkenham, Heaford, and several other places in Lincolnshire, and from Dunstable and other places in Bedfordshire (in all 20 petitions), by Earl BROIVNLOW;—frorn inhabitants of the city of York, by Lord FAVERSHAM;—from several places in the county of Antrim, by Earl O'NEIL. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented similar petition from Horsham, in Sussex. The Right Rev. Prelate observed that the petition was respectably signed, but he could not concur in its prayer. Before he proceeded to say a word on the subject to whickpie petition referred, he wished •to ;. take the oppor of correcting a misrepresenta tion which had gone forth to the public as to what had fallen on a former evening from a Right Rev. Relation of his, who was at present prevented from attending in his place by a most severe domestic calamity. His Right Rev. Relation was represented to have stated in his place, when speaking of a peti tion which he had presented from certain clergy or the Church of England, in favour of emancipation; (as Ai e understood), that,the clergy were inacces sible to reason, and untuto44experience, on the subject of the Catholic question: - That such words had never been used, and could not have been used, by his Right Rev. Relation, would be readily ad mitted by all who knew him. The words used by his Right Rev. Relation were, that " those who be lieved that the clergy were inaccessible to reason, and untutored by experience, on this subject, would see from the petition then presented what a very erroneous estimate had been made of their character." With respect to the measures which would soon be before their Lordships, he would observe they should never have his support if he thought they tended to the subversion or injury of the Constitution or the Pro, testant establishments; but he would support them because he believed that they would tend to the union of all classes in support of the Constitution. There was a great difference between a political and religious union. It was to the political union he referred, and he was satisfied that it would tend to promote general tranquillity, and in particular would promote the peace and improvement of Ire land. If it had been proposed to pay the Catholic clergy out of the_public purse, he could not.supfaFt the measure, because he thought it would have an injurious tendency. But in the measures as they stood, as far as he could be informed of them, he fully approved ; for he saw in them nothing incon sistent with the maintenance of Protestant princi ples, or in any degree calculated to subvert the Pro testant church. Having said thus much, he could not concur in the prayer of the petition, but he would lay it on their Lordships' table. (The above is only the substance of the Right Rev. Prelate's remarks, for, from the position in which he stood, and the low tone in which he spoke, much of what he said was very indistinctly heard below the bar.) Petitions in favour of Emancipation were pre sented from Portsmouth, by the Earl of Carnarvon ; from Castle Blakeney, Killcurry, Killoran, and other places in Ireland (eighteen petitions), by the Mar quis of Clanricarde ; from Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-upon-Trent, and other places in Staffordshire, and from several places in Leitrim, Kildare, Meath, and other counties in Ireland (we believe twenty-fire petitions), by the Marquis of Anglesea. The Noble Marquis also presented several petitions from some of the same places, against the Sub-letting and Se lect Vestry Bills. The Duke of SUSSEX presented a petition from the Minister, Heritors, and other Inhabitants of (we believe) Kelton, in the stewartry of Kirkudbright, praying that their Lordships might sanction the mea sures now before Parliament for the removal of the civil disabilities affecting their Roman Catholic fel low subjects. His Royal Highness observed, that he was instructed to state that the petitioners would not have felt it necessary to address the House on this subject, if another petition of a contrary nature had not been sent up from the same place.. He be lieved that the opinions of many in the country were changed upon this question, who at first viewed it as dangerous to the State, but were now anxious that it should be carried, believing that it would tend to the tranquillity and prosperity of the empire. Several Bills were pressed through their respec tive stages, after which their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter to Six. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Petitions in favour of Emancipation were pre sented from three places in the county of Limerick, by Mr. Fitzgibbon ;—from 13 places in the county of Galway, and one parish in the county of Roscom mon, by Mr. Lambert;—from 12 places in the county of Cork, by Mr. Boyle ;—from three places in the county of Westmeath, by Mr. Take ;—from six places in the county of Limerick, by Mr. Lloyd ; from 12 places in the county of Leitrim, an:l also from the friends of Civil and Religious Liberty in Leitrim, by Lord Clements ;—from the congregation of the Roman Catholics at Greenock, by Sir M. S. Stewart ;—from a parish in the district of Powder ham, by Mr. Pendarves ;—from the Unitarian con gregation of Portsmouth, by Mr. Carter. Petitions against these claims were presented by Sir W. Heathcote, from three places in Hampshire; —from a parish in Caithness, by Major Sinclair ; from several parishes in the county of Lincoln, by Mr. Chaplin ;—from Brampton, by Mr. Mundy ; from Stanford-le-Hope (Essex), by Sir E. Harvey. Several petitions were also presented for the re peal of the Vestry and Sub-letting Acts.—They were all ordered to be printed. Mr. E. DAVENPORT brought in a Bill to ex tend the powers of summary conviction of juvenile offenders by magistrates in certain cases. It was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday the 3d of April, and to be printed. Mr. L. DAVENPORT said, that with the per mission„f t h e House, h e wou l d take the discussion oftheßill, not on the second reading, but on the Committee. Mr. KING presented two petitions, one front the corporals of the North Colic Militia, and ano ther from the corporals and bugles of the Cork Mi litia, respecting the reduction of t h e Mili t i a B i ll. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said that however un willing he might be, he was compelled to postpone till to-morrow the presentation of a petition which he had received from .Edinburgh, in favour of Ca tholic Emancipation. He now rose to present a pe tition from the students - ef theology in the Uni- versity of Oxford, who pray that further concessions may be granted to the Roman Catholics. There is one sentence, of scarcely more than two lines, in the petition, which he would beg leave to read to the House. The petitioners state that they do not fear the result of the measure as affecting the security of the Protestant religion, because they feel a generous confidence in the stability of the reformed religion, 'an►d only fear that it will be disgraced by the in jurious aid of proscripeon and exclusion.—(Hear.) The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. LENNARD was intrusted with a petition from the sert_ral congregations of Protestant Dis ewers of the three denominations resident at Ips wich. The dissenters of those denominations were the descendants of those men who left the church when the Act of Uniformity was passed : they were commonly known by the name of the " Old Dis !renters ;" and no men better understood or were more *lmbed to the principles of civil and religious li berty than they were. The petition was signed by seven Dissenting Ministers, which number comprised all the Ministers of those class s resident in Ipswich. The prayer of the petition was verbatim the same as had been presented last year from the same con gregations, when the repeal of the Test and Corpo ration Acts—Acts which more immediately affected themselves,—was under consideration. lie had been requested to explain the motives which had induced the petitioners, at so late a period, to come forward with their petition. Much misconception 'bad arisen on the subject of the opinions of many of the Dissenters, who, as a class, had been represent ed as opposed to concession. The fact was, that they, with many others who were friendly to the measure, bad been content to leave it to the decision of Parliament, seeing that it had come recommended from the Throne, and had been introduced expressly with the sanction of the Government. But as un fair advantage had been taken of their silence, they -had felt that they could not, in justice to themselves or their cause, remain without expressing their °pi `itions for the purpose of refuting the representations which had been tnade of their lukewarmness or hos tility to the measure. The petitioners were as zealous Protestants as any in the country ; but they thought that to inflict punishment or to impose pe nalties on account of religious opinions wad, in the words of Lord Bacon, " to dissolve and to deface the laws of charity and human society, and so to consider men as Christians, as to forget that they were men and citizens," He had great pleasure in presenting " the petition, because it tended to strengthen what he had, on another occasion, stat ed,—that a much larger number were in favour of concession than the enemies of it were willing to admit. Colonel SIBTHORPE had now the honour to present to the House a petition from the united parishes of Washinhorough, in the county of Lincoln, playing that no further concessions be made to the Roman Catholics. The Hon. Bart., the Member for Lincoln, was Lord of the Manor in these parishes, and proprietor of more than a third part of them ; and yet, though he took so strong an interest in favour of Emancipation, only 20 out of the 1,200 male inhabitants which the parishes con tained had refused to sign this petition. The Hon. Baronet, in alluding to the former petitions which his Hon. Colleague had presented from Lincolnshire, had chosen to state that they had been got up by placards sent forth by the Champion of England, and had then contrasted those placards with those issued by his champion, the celebrated Dr. Eady. Now he begged leave to observe, that neither the Cham pion of England nor Dr. Eady were known, nor had any influence in that parish ; " and I draw," said he, " a wide difference between my champion, who sup ports a sound and wholesome constitution, and the lion. Baronet's champion, who is employed in patch ing up a diseased and broken constitution." He did not think that the Hon. Baronet could impugn the respectability of this petition, when it was signed by so many of his own tenantry. Sir W. INGILBY again contended that the pe titions from the county of Lincoln, against Catholic emancipation, had been got up by undue influence, and had referred in proof of it, as he had a perfect right to refer, to the "constitutional" placard of the Champion of England. With respect to this peti tion, which c:ime from the parish where he was lord of the manor, and where he was a considerable landed proprietor, he had only to say that he had never used any influence among his tenantry, either to get up or to prevent the getting up of petitions on this subject. His own parson had told him that he intended to:get up a No-Popery petition, and his only reply was, that he was sorry that he should think such a measure necessary. His own tenants had signed that petition, and though he might la ment that such were their opinions, God forbid that he should attempt to control them.—(Cheers.) — He left them to the care of their spiritual pastor; and he believed that their pastor taught them their duties correctly, though he differed from him in opinion on this subject.—( Hear, hear.)—He was of opinion, that a considerable change had taken place in the feelings of the people of Lincolnshire of late years, and he founded his opinion upon the circum stance that out of twelve members returned from different places within it, seven voted in favour and five against Catholic emancipation.—(Hear, hear.) It was his opinion that the county of Lincoln was emancipated from the bigotry which some gentlemen seemed inclined to attach to it. Sir G. HEATHCOTE felt as much interested as either of the members for the county of Lincoln on this point, and he was inclined to believe, from a letter which he had received that morning from a clergyman in Lincolnshire, that no such excitement existed in the county as had been represented. As he was on his legs, and as he had the pleasure of observing the Right Hon. Secretary in his place, he could not, as an humble individual, refrain from re turning to him his sincere thanks for what he must call the very noble part which the Right lion. Gent. had taken upon this question.—(Hear.) Mr. CHAPLIN did not deny that there might be many gentlemen of large property in the county of Lincoln favourable to the Catholic claims; but he must retain his old opinion, that the mass of the population was decidedly hostile to them. The petition was ordered to be printed. THE ENGLISH BAR. Sir J. SCARLETT had a petition to present in favour of Catholic Emancipation, signed by 324 gen tlemen of the English bar. They desire the House to adopt measures for the removal of the disabilities affecting the Roman Catholics ; and they state the lively interest which they take in the consideration of the measures then before the House. He felt it to he a high honour to be the medium of presenting such a petition to the House. In 1825 he had pre sented a similar one, which was signed by 150 of the members of the bar in London; in 1827 he had presented one signed by 200; and now, to the third petition there were 324 signatures. It was with extreme gr a tifi cat i on t h at h e d ec l are d his par ticipation in the opinions which were so well ex pressed in this petition, and which he had hitherto advocated only by his silent vote. They expresser; their gratitude to his Majesty's Government for the wisdom and firmness with which they bad intro duced and sustained thi's measure in Parliament. It was important to bring before the House the opi nions so expressed of a large and enlightened body of the community, who were, as he had already said, so peculiarly well qualified to come to a sound conclusion upon such a subject. He mentioned this, not to detract from the respectability of any of those persons who had signed petitions of an oppe,; site character, but to call the particular attention of Parliament to the evidence given in this petition of the support which was tendered to this measure of his Majesty's Government, by a set of men of such preponderating talents, learning, and information. The petition was then laid on the table, and or dered to be printed. Mr. A. DAWSON presented several petitions from the counties of Armagh and Louth, in favour of emancipation, and against the indiscriminate dis franchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders. Mr. SLANEY presented petitions from two pa rishes in the counties of Gloucester and Somerset, in favour of the Bill for altering the poor laws.— The petitioners, as well as all others who had con sidered this subject, were anxious to substitute, as far as possible, labour instead of pecuniary dona tions, for the relief of the agricultural poor. After a few words from Mr. W. SMITH, the peti tion was laid on the table. On the motion of Mr. G. DAWSON, several returns relative to the Apothecaries'-hall, in Dublin, were ordered to be presented to the House. Lord G. CAVENDISH presented a petition from Scarsdale (Derbyshire), in favour of the Ca tholic claims, which, from the great respectability of its signatures, he contrasted with that presented on a former night from - Chesterfield. After a few words from Mr. MUNDY, the peti tion was laid on the table. Mr. W. SMITH presented the 15th report of tile Cominis&ioneis for bridges and roads in the Highland, of Suo land. Gen. O'NEILL presented a petition from the corporals of the Autrun Mili:ia, against the Militia Suspension Mr. HUME presented a petition from Thomas Dillon, hotel-keeper and coach-owner, of the city of Dublin, against the continuance of tolls, which had been a long time complained of upon the Naas road. Mr. HUME presented five petitions in favour of the Roman Catholic claims—one from a parish in the county of Cavan, and four from Dissenting con grations in Lancashire.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. B. CLARKE presented petitions from Kil macon and Mullinavat, in the county of Kilkenny, against the Sub-letting Act, and the Bill for the Dis franchisement of the Irish Forty-shilling Free holders; also a petition in favour of the Roman Catholic claims.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. BANKES postponed his motion for the usual grant to the British Museum, in Committee of Sup ply, till Monday. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from Newton Abbot, in favour of the Catholic claims. QUALIFICATION AND JURISDICTION OF MA- GISTRATES. Mr. Secretary gave notice of my in tention this evening to Move for leave to bring in a Bill, the object of which will be the consolidation of the laws relative to the qualification and jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in counties. It will be an abject of this Bill also to facilitate the execution of their duties by that class of public functionaries.— No person can have a better opportunity of witness ing the manner in which those duties are performed by the Magistrates of the United Kingdom, than the individual who holds the office of Secretary of State, and proud I shall be on every occasion to bear my humble testimony to the advantages derived by the country from the gratuitous and zealous labours of the Magistrates of the United Kingdom. I trust that I shall never see the day, nor contemplate the probability of its arriving, when the jurisdiction they now possess shall be transferred to other hands. —(Cheers.)--It would be impossible, I think, to transfer that jurisdiction to any other hands by whom it would be administered with greater be nefit to the country. Besides, it is of the utmost importance that the gentlemen of England should be charged with the duties connected with the administration of justice. It will be an object of this Bill rather to facilitate the execution of those dit ties, than to trench on the privileges of Magistrates, or to limit their powers. There are about twenty three Acts of Parliament now in force relative to the qualification and jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace. They have been passed at different periods of our hist sry, and some of them are of a somewhat com plicated nature. I think it manifest that it would be productive of great advantage if we were to act as to this subject on the same principle on which we acted as to the Criminal Law, and unite into one Act of Parliament the various provisions to be found in the different enactments now in force, and apply such amendments as the lapse of time and change of circumstances may render necessary. The chief object of the Bill will be to consolidate the laws relating to the execution of the duties of Justices of the Peace. In the course of that consolidation it may be advisable to supply some defects that may be found to exist, and make some regulations to which the law does not apply. As the Bill can be so much better understood by reading it when it is printed, I will not occupy the time of the House by entering into any minute explanation of its pre visions on this occasion. But when the House has read it, I will take the first opportunity which this time of the year will afford us to give as full an explanation of all its provisions as I possibly can do. It is a question whether it would not be advisable to raise the qualification of a Justice of the Peace. The present qualification I cannot but think is too low; for the possession of 1001. a year is all that is requisite as the pecuniary qualification for a Magistrate. When we observe that property has increased so much, and that so many individuals ate to be found fully qualified in every respect, and in sufficient numbers, to discharge the duties of this office, I doubt whether it is not expedient to raise the qualification from the present amount to some thing not greatly above it. I am unwilling at pre sent to express a positive opinion on this point, until I can ascertain, by local information, how it will :affect practically the different parts of the country. Tlio question is, whether it would not be advisable to raise the qualification from 1001. to 3001. a.year. I Mould nut propose to disqualify those who may not be disqualified to that amount, and who are now in the commis-ion of the peace; but I believe it would be an improvement in the counties at large if a higher sum, at least than a 100/. a-year, was fixed for the qualification of cetnity Magistrates. I do not propose to alter the qualification of Magis trates possessing local jurisdiction. This Bill will abolish the distinction between Justices of the Quorum and other Justices. This distinction is founded on no good reason, and was applicable only to times that are passed. This Bill will leave no distinction between the power of Justices of the Peace. It will also supply a defect in the pre sent state of the law, and enable a Magistrate to compel the attendance of material witnesses in all cases they are required to decide. It is clear, that if we confer jurisdiction on the Magistrates, it ought to be complete; and therefore we should give them the power to compel the attendance of material Witnesses. The Bill will require the Magistrate who issues a summons personally to hear the com plaint. 'There have been instances in which Magi strates who have issued the summons have not heard the complaint; but though I believe this practice is very rare at present, it is one that ought to be entirely suppressed; and the Magistrate who issues a summons should be obliged personally to hear the complaint. The Bill will make regulations for holding Petty Sessions throughout the country; and it also contains a general form of conviction its all cases, for which the law-has not already provided. lfn many instances it is given when an'Act is passed conferring the jurisdiction on the Magistrates; but in others there is TIO form of conviction, and it is left wholly to the discretion of the Magistrate. It seems to me more proper to give a general form of conviction, instead of imposing on the Magistrate the responsibility of inventing a particular form in every case that comes before him. A general form should, therefore, be substituted, in order that the practice might not vary in every place. The Bill will require Magistrates to make a return to the Clerics of the Peace of the amount of all fines and penalties ►hey may have imposed for a certain antecedent period. If the power to impose these fines and penalties be given, it is but right that there should be pe►iodical returns, which will present a correct statement of the amount of this public pro perty. The Bill will also determine inabose cases which are not provided for by law at present, when an appeal shall be allowed against a summary con- , viction. It also contains a provision of great im portance for regulating the fees of Clerks to Justices of the Peace.--(Cheers.)--I have now drawn an outline and stated the principal provisions of the , Bill; and I think, when it is examined, the Howie will not find • that any material objection can be urged to it. This Bill will much facilitate the exe• cution of the business of Magistrates, by laying down simple and precise rules where the Acts of Parlia ment are silent. I have the greater confidence in this Bill because it has been prepared by a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hobhouse), than whom no individual can be more capable of framing better regulations for the office of a Justice of the Peace; and I must say that that Right Hon. Gentleinan e who has retired from public life, has given an ex ample of true patriotism, in thus bestowing on his country the advantages of his sedulous labours, and of :his eminent knowledge of the law, and of the great experience lie derived from the nature of the public duties in which he was engaged. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better execution of the office of Justice of the Peace in England. The question having been put, Mr. HUME objected to a money-qualification-- whether 100/: or 3001. aeyear—being made so pro minent a feature in the proposed Bill ; and he did so because he thought the possession of property should not be rendered the principal—he might say the only—qualification for exercising the jurisdiction of a Magistrate. He thought the Right lion. Secretary's object ought to have been to induce, persons, whose previous acquirements and knowledge had fitted them for the office, to undertake it. There should be some adequate test of the fitness of candi dates for the Magisterial chair before they were allowed to sit in it. He did not think money the very best qualification, and was of opinion that the simple fact of a man possessing 3001., or even 30,0001. a year, afforded no pledge of his capability as a Justice of the Peace. The Right Hon. Gent. was not adopting the best mode of having public business performed. He knew many men of a hundred a year infinitely better able to perform the duties of a Magistrate than many fools who had ten or twenty thousand per annum.—(A laugh.)--The Hon. Member next proceeded to suggest the propriety of introducing a clause into the Bill to prevent Clergymen from becoming Justices of the . Peace: ; except in cases where other individuals capable of performing the duties of the office could not be found. There were some counties in which there were few of the Justices who were not Clergymen ; others, he admitted, where clerical Magistrates et ere not so numerous, but he believed the number of those shires to be very small in which the clerical did not predominate, either in the magisterial list or in regular attendance on the Bench, ()vet the lay Justices, who were generally outvoted by their more sacred brethren. He was oppposed to Clergymen being appointed Magistrates on several grounds; but it might be sufficient to say, their at tention ought not to be diverted from the sacred duties of their office by secular employments. In saying this, he was aware he should be met, as upon former occasions, by the assertion that justice could not be administered in many places, except Church men were allowed to perform the duties of Magis trates. There might, perhaps, be a few instances in which such would be the case, but he held those as the exceptions to the general rule. What he maintained was this,—that on no occasion, except there existed an absolute necessity for so doing, should the names of Clergymen be put on the list of Ma-' gistrates. He disclaimed any intention to attack the characters of Clergymen; but he had always held the duties of the stations to be incompatible. He could have wished that the Right Hon. Secretary had brought forward a more effectual measure than this appeared to be for controlling the jurisdiction of Magistrates, armed, as they were, with a terrible power which had been increased in an immense de gree during the last 30 years. The exercise of such an authority required more caution, temper, and knowledge, than were usually displayed by its pos sessors. He thought the Right Hon. Gent. did not go far enough—that he had not adopted a proper plan to meet the exigencies and remedy the evils of the case, and secure to the public a better and more effectual administration of justice on the part of per sons intrusted with the office of Justice of the Peace. Mr. HOULDSWORTH was of opinion, that the lawyers did not always make the best Magis trates, and dissented from the opinion of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, as to the unfitness of Clergy men to perform the duties of Justices of Peace. With regard to summonses, the hearing of a case ought not to be confined to Magistrates who had issued them, as appeared to be the intention of the Right Hon. Secretary. What was to be done in the event of a Magistrate who had issued a summons for the hearing of a case being taken suddenly ill ? Was the case (which might be one of an urgent nature) to stand over on that account ? Mr. PEEL said, the Hon. Member had enti:ely party r t amlliysubnudtertshteoodllim. Magistrate He who summoned mean tosay p thaty before him should be disqualified to hear the case. What he intended to convey was, that a Magistrate id should not be able to compel parties to attend , ex d not ad ex cept he had previously heard a statement of the complaint making out the necessity of instituting an inquiry. Mr. BRIGHT, after complimenting the Right Hon. Secretary on the manlier in which he had taken up the subject, suggested whether it might not be better to refer the whole law to a Committee to inquire and report thereupon. In answer to a repetition of Mr.HOULDSWORTH'S objection with regard to the issuing of summonses, male by Mr. LOTT, Mr. I EEL said, his objection was, to prevent persons from being compelled to appear before any justice of the Peace till the Magistrate should have first heard the nature of the complaint; the Magis trate was to satisfy himself by hearing the charge whether it was necessary to institute any further inquiry. Mr. E. DAVENPORT thought it might be de sirable, if any obligation were imposed by the Bill, making it necessary forall persons previously to their first acting as Magistrates, to attend a certain num ber of times, and on certain occasions, at the Ses sions, in order to learn their duty. His object in making this proposition was, to prevent persons utterly ignorant of the law and their duties as Justices of the Peace, from filling the magisterial chair. There could be no harm in adopting this proposal. It was of great importance that by the Bill before the House, the duties of Magistrates should not only be defined accurately, but detailed minutely, and strongly enforced ; especially a, a great part of the Magisterial authority was at present . discretionary. • Mr. GORDON ridiculed the idea of having a LLD NETTING FOR PRESERVING FRUIT FROM FROST, BLIGHT, AND .BIRDS.

Board or Commission appointed to examine young Magistrates, as appeared to be contemplated by the Hon. Member who spoke last in the plan which he had proposed. With respect to the Clergy, great difficulties must arise in' many places—Dorsetsh►re for instance—if the Clergy were excluded from the Magistracy. He referred to the gentlemen of the county in question, who he was sure would bear him out in saying, that in consequence of the num ber of absentee proprietors, there would be the greatest difficulty in obtaining efficient Magistrates, but for the Clergy, who, he might add, were ex amples of industry and attention to the Lay Ma gistrates. No one could be so fit a judge as the Lord Lieutenant of each county, of the degree of ne cessity that existed for the appointment of clerical Magistrates. Mr. EDWARD DAVENPORT did not say it was necessary for candidates for the magistracy to undergo an examination before any Board of Com mission. What he said -was, that they ought to attend a certain number of times at the Sessions to learn their duty. Mr. BYNG asked the Right Hon. Secretary the nature of the property that was to determine the qualification and eligibility of persons for the office of magistrates. Mr. PEEL replied, freehold, copyhold, or custo mary tenure. Mr. BYNG could only say, with regard to the clergy, he had never found them anx►ous to put themselves forward to obtain the office, or act in the capacity of magistrates. They generally did so to oblige their neighbours. He had no hesitation in expressing his opinion as to the propriety of clergy men being admissible as Justices of Peace. Mr. PEEL submitted, that the qualification of property was the best test that could be devised rattler existing circumstances, with respect to magis- Ifites. He took the test as he found it established, and thought it might be difficult to find a better. — The power of appointing magistrates now rested in the Lord Chancellor, and was exercised on as fair a principle as possible. An Hon. Member appeared to suppose that the Secretary of State recommended the appointment of clergymen as magistrates. This was a mistake. He (Mr. Peel) had never re commended any person to be appointed a Jus tice of the Peace. Indeed, he had cautiously abstained from any interference with the ap pointment of magistrates, lest it should he sup posed that it was desired to give a Jolitical bias to the magistracy. On this account he threw all the responsibility of selection on the Lords-Lieutenant of the respective counties, where it should rest, and, he might add, by whom the power had been pro perly exercised. To give power to any board or commission to examine magistrates, and determine upon their legal acquirements and fitness for the office of Justices of the Peace, was altogether out of the question. An individual arrived at tlae age of 31,, and who possessed the necessary qualification as to property, could exercise legislative functions in Parliament without any previous examination. The idea of examining candidates for the magistracy was impracticable. With respect to an exclusive law affecting the clergy, he beli-rred that it would be at tended with great public injury. In fact, he be lieved tl►e clergy did not wish to be included in the magistracy, but he felt satisfied that during that portion of the year when many of the lay magis trates were necessarily absent from the country upon duties whiali called them to the metropolis, great in convenience must arise if there were not resident clerical Justices of the Peace upon the spot. He had no desire to have clergymen appointed to the magis tracy except where the public interests required it. It was impossible to lay down any precise rule on the subject which local circumstances might not ren der it necessary to vary. It was admitted t hat clergy men performed their magisterial duties with diligence and ability, and therefore he should be sorry to see them excluded by any general rule; he might add, he should be equally sorry to see any rule as to their general admission or general exclusion adopted.— With respect to magistrates, clerical or lay, attend ing at petty sessions, he had taken precautions in the Bill against the attendance of Justices being di rected so as to carry a particular object or overbear others. This was a provision in the Bill, the main object of which was to regulate the administration and proceedings otCourts of Magistrates assembled in petty session; and with that view, he thought an open court a much better security for the due administration of justice than any other which it was possible to devise. Mr. HUME said it was highly desirable, at least, that no conviction should take place except by the sentence of two Magistrates in open court. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped time would be afforded so as to allow an opportunity to receive suggestions as to the clauses in the Bill from practical men. Leave was then given, and the Bill was intro duced, read a first, and ordered to be read a, second time this (lay fortnight. Sir A. GRANT brought up the report of the Committee on the Qualification of Freeholders (Ire land) Bill, which was agreed to after an observa tion from Mr. HUME, and also from Sir JAMES GRAHAM. The Innkeepers' Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. BYNG moved the second reading of the County Bridges Bill. Lord LOWTHER opposed it, and after a short conversation, the second reading was postponed, in consequence of the thin attendance of the House, a►:.d fixed for Wednesday next. Mr. INPLEOD presented petitions from the bo rough and incorporated trades, also from the inha bitants of the town, of Inverness; and another from Fearn, in the county of Rose, against granting fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Seven o'clock. The Earl of ABERDEEN and Mr. Secretary PEEL visited the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday. Earl BATIIURST transacted business with Sir Groacac .3.ll:Raax yesterday, at the Colonial-office. The Earl of HUNTINGDON visited Ear, 13Arllur.sT yesterdly at the Council-office. A vessel empt)yed in the India trade, called the Jane Eliza, together with a valuable cargo, has been seized to-day in the river, for a violation of the charter of the East India Company. It seems that the law by which the monopoly of that great trading body is established, prescribes that no vessel shall make the voyage direct home from China to England, without incurring the forfeiture both of ship end cargo. The operation of this law has, it seems, been heretofore usually evaded by touching at Singa pore, where the cargo being landed, and fresh clearances obtained, nothing remained to vitiate the voyage. In the low prices to which almost every description of goods has fallen, this condition, necessarily involving a considerable expense, was felt to be a very onerous one, and came by degrees to be only partially complied with—that is, a portion of the cargo, instead of tha whole, was landed and the new clearances thus obtained were suffered to pass without question. In the case of the June Eliza, how ever, no part of the cargo, it is admitted, was landed, but the vessel, after having touched at Singapere, proceeded with fresh clearances for England, and the informality or fraud baying been discovered, has been subjected to seizure in the manner described. The cargo, independently of the vessel, is valued at 50,0001. ; it consists chiefly of silk, nankeens, tortoiseshell, and other articles usually imported front China. One house alone in the East India trade has 800 bales of silk on board of the Jane Eliza, and there are large consignments of the same valuable description of goods to other houses in the sante line. The affair has excited a most lively sensation among the mercantile interest connected with that part of the globe, who contend that this part of the Company's privi leges is most injurious to them, it is of no advantage to the Corporation itself, and that it deprives them or their cor respondents, in the present depressed state of the English markets, of all profit whatever from the shipments. It is generally supposed that both ship and cargo will ultimately be released, but not without considerable expense to all concerned, as well as loss of time, which may prove more injurious to the owners of the goods than any fine that will after due consideration be imposed. The merchants are highly indignant at the whole proceeding, and will, it is said, avail themselves of it as a striking instance to prove pany's aaon o p o ly. the injurious nature of the Com FIRST DEVELOPEMENT OF A PERFECT BUTTERFLY OR MOTH. Although in Kirby and Spence's valuable work there is an interesting description of the first developement of the butterfly, yet I take the liberty of sending you an account of an instance which fell under my own observation, containing particulars which do not appear in their narration. The moth (Phalm's pavonia, Emperor) which I observed, was about five minutes getting out of its tomb ; its wings were at first small, shrivelled, and flabby, its body very large and unwieldy ; for the first five minutes after its exit it did no thing but stretch its legs, and lie first on one side and then on the other ; it afterwards lay gently down on its back, with its wings lying negligently at each side ; its pulse at this period was at 60, for, as it lay stretched out, the joints of the abdomen, if I may use that term for the pliable parts which are not so visible in a mature subject (like the joints of a lobster's body). were transparent, and I could, there fore, see the internal movements ; after remain ing a few minutes in this state, the pulsa tion became considerably slower, and at the same time the wings began to grow, the first process was the injection of a yellow fluid from the body, which shot very rapidly into the ner vure of the wings, and seemed to strengthen them. Their further developement continued to proceed from the base ; the action resembled the convulsions of a bit of parchment in the fire, and the wings, from the nervures being tense, were very like a Savoy cabbage-leaf. In about a quarter of an hour they had attained to their full size but not strength. One side was perfected before the other half was done ; the colours and pencilling grew more evident and brilliant, as the wings increased in size, which was the most beautiful part of the process. The moth at last turned itself heels over head, and then walked about a little, but was very dull, and the wings did not attain their maximum of strength till about five hours after, when a copious evacua tion took place, and it immediately became quite lively.—Maga;ine of Natural History.

The amount of duty received for these gloves was 15,7171. 15s. 2d. ST. JAMES'S PARK.—During last week two niore gates in St. James's Park have been opened for the accommodation of the public, besides the gate opposite the Horse Guards, one at the corner near Storey's Gate, and the other near Buckingham-gate, so that persons going from the Horse Guards, or Storey's-gate have a delight ful walk through the grounds to Pimlico and Chelsea. Upwards of 800 of the shrubs which were planted last year have died during the winter, but the remainder are in a very thriving state, Workmen are now employed in removing the dead shrubs, which are immediately to be replaced by others to fill up the vacancy. Several wild ducks were turned into the Park last summer, and the top pinion of the wing cut to prevent them flying away. These birds associate constantly with the swans, and are become quite domesticated and tame. Yesterday, several of their nests, containing eight or nine eggs, were disco vered by some of the workmen on the small island oppo site his Majesty's Palace. We understand it is the inten tion of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to have benches erected in different parts of the Park, for the convenience of the public, and also to throw a light bridge over the piece of water in the Park, about the middle. The process of Macadamizing proceeds very fast in the parish of Marylebone; most of the streets and squares having un•ergone, or being destined speedily to undergo, the operation. The inhabitants of Gloucester place and Baker-street, however, preferring noise to dust, are opposed to having their pavements disturbed. The improvements which are in progress at the west end of Brighton, will astonish those who have not visited the town for a few months. Numerous villas are in course of erection on what was lately a field betwee❑ Brunswick-square and the Temple, formerly the residence of T. R. KEMP, Esq. These will each have a space of ground allotted to them ; and the situation being remark a!ily pleasant, and commanding an extensive prospect, they will form very desirable places of abode. The whole of Brunsivick-square and Brunswick- terrace, with its per haps unrivalled esplanade, also present a range of noble houses, which, we feel confident, cannot be equalled out of the metropolis. Eastward of Brighton the " march of improvement" his been scarcely less rapid. Kemp Town has arisen from its long slumber of desolation ; and the ac • cession of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who has purchased two houses for a residence there, will of course tend mate rially to increase its attraction. Portland-place, on this side of Brighton, forms a noble pendant to Oriental-place on the other; and, in short, we hesitate not to siy that no place exists in the kingdom which can show so striking and rapid an increase and improvement.—Brighton Gazette. At the sitting of the Court at the Here ford Assizes, Mr. Justice PARK said that the conduct of the attorneys of this county was extremely reprehensible. His Lordship stated that they would not enter their causes for trial till the last moment, becau , e they wished them to stand low in the list, that they might be paid for four or five days' attendance at the Assizes instead of one. One attorney, indeed, had called ten times before he would en ter his cause, fearing that it might be tried en the first day of the Assize. His Lordship intimated his intention of mentioning this at the next meeting of the Twelve Judges, with a view to some regulations being adopted that would make it the interest of parties to enter their causes in good time. We think that such things as this ought to be attended to by the Law Commission, and if that commission is ever to be of any service to the coun try in the reform of abuses, the Commissioners should get matters of this kind set to right, and not leave it to be done by the Judges, whose other duties are sufficiently arduous. FOREIGN INTELLIGEN. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres, March 23.) PARIS, MAucll 22.—Letters from Leghorn quoted in the Augsburgh Gazette, say that a convoy with troops, ammunition, and provisions, sent by the Viceroy of Egypt to reinforce the fortresses in the Island of Candia, has been obliged to return to Alex andria, though escorted by some Egyptian men-of war, because it met with the Russian squadron. According to commercial intelligence from Con stantinople, the Austrian Internuncio, residing in that capital, had given notice that it had been agreed with the Ottoman Porte, that all vessels laden with corn, under the Austrian flag, might sail from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean with two-thirds of their cargoes, and that the other third shall be paid for in ready money, at fixed prices, for the supply of Constantinople. Notice has accordingly been given to the captains of Austrian ships, who intended to sail to the Black Sea, to obtain the usual firmans from the Sublime Porte, which has promised to grant the free naviga tion to the Black Sea to ships of all nations on these conditions. (From the Gazette de France, March 24.) FRANKFORT, MARCH 18.—We have just received letters from Jassy, which inform us, that the open ing of the campaign is expected to take place very shortly, as the weather is so mild that the ice in the Danube has almost entirely disappeared. Though the army has a great number of sick, the soldiers are animated with the greatest zeal. General Die bitsch, the new Commander-in-Chief, who has ar rived at Jassy, has had a grand review of the troops. Hopes were still entertained in the army that the Emperor will arrive in a few weeks. There had latterly been no news of any fresh en gagements. Every thing was tranquil. We learn from Darmstadt, that M. Hoffmann, who concluded the treaty with Prussia respecting the duties of customs, is gone to Munich, in order to forward the negotiations, the object of which is to unite the north and south of Germany in one uniform system of commerce, and of duties on im portation and exportation. We learn that the German Diet has appointed a Committee to examine the differences between Hanover and Brunswick, FRENCH FUNDS. —PARIS, MARCH 23.,--Five per Cents. 10Sf. 10e. 15c. 20c. 25c. 30c. 20c. 25e. ; Three per Cents., 78f. 30c. 40c. 43c.; Bank Stock, 1,835 f. ; Rentes de Naples, 82f.

The feeling in favour of Emancipation is, we are delighted to perceive, gaining ground among all the high-minded and intelligent classes of the community. That exemplary Prelate and un impeachable private character, the Bishop of WINCHESTER, in presenting a petition last night to the House of Lords, took the oppor tunity of declaring that his sentiments were strongly in favour of the measures proposed by Government for the relief of the Catho lics. Such an opinion from such an authority will, no doubt, meet every where with the deep and serious attention it deserves. In the House of Commons Sir .T. SCARLETT presented a petition, signed by 324 , gentlemen of that in fluential body the English bar, in favour also of concession. Thus it will appear that the en lightened Members of the church and law are both equally averse to the longer continuance of that odious system of intolerance and exclusion which has so long degraded the spirit of the English Constitution. The Prussian State Gazette, of the 20th instant, contains the following short article in favour of the Greeks. With respect to the sentence of the National Tribunal of Warsaw—we think that the Emperor NICHOLAS would consult both his own honour, and the good sense of the Empire, by showing more clemency to those culprits convicted of High Treason. The Emperor is now surely too strong for the acts or the seditious, and policy might whisper that it is wiser to conciliate than to exasperate : LGINA, JAR. 31. (From the Greek Bee.) Captain Falconer, commanding the Perseverance steam boat, has undertaken an expedition to the Gulf of Volo and Negropont, where he has captured four Turkish ships of war, which are a very welcome addition to our flotilla. Captain Falanga has delivered 500 unfortunate Greeks, who to avoid the Turks who came from Zeitoune had taken refuge in caverns, and were in danger of perishing from hunger. WARSAW, MARCH 16.

SANTA ANNA was at that time in Colombia, where his services could be of as little value to BRAVO as his wishes. The last accounts received at Toulon from the Morea, stated that a convoy of transports, with troops, had left Navarin, but owing to bad weather were obliged to return to port, and the troops were relanded. The destination of the troops was not mentioned. It was reoorted this morning in the City that Ministers intended to ask Parliament to put off the Easter • holidays, except Good Friday and Easter Monday, in order that the Catholic Relief Bill may be made into a law as quickly as possible. Whether this be so or not, we th ink it will be for the benefit of the nation at large that the Catholic Question be settled without delay. When once passed, the wonder will be that a measure of such indispensable ne cessity should have been so long delayed.

By accounts of the sth inst., received from Gibraltar, we have intelligence that the trade of the port had been totally suspended, in consequence of the declaration of the Spanish Government, by which Cadiz is declared to be a free port, and num bers of the first houses in the garrison had the inten tion of either going altogether from Gibraltar, or forming branches of this establishment at Cadiz; this measure is considered as a severe blow to the commerce of the former place, on the rain of which the future splendour of the latter port is likely to be founded, if conducted with a due regard to a liberal and enlightened policy on the part of the Spanish authorities.

Viscount MELVILLE held a levee yesterday at the Admiralty. A fortnight having elapsed since his Lord ship held a levee, there was a numerous attendance of naval officers. It appears, from returns made by order of the House of Commons, that the total number of steam boats or ♦essels beloning to all the ports of Great Britain is 310, and the number of tons 26,374. Vessels belonging to Government are not included in this account. Of the number in the return 57 belong to the port of London. It also appears that 16 steam-boats are now building.

Among my numerous visitors this morning I had a travelling musician, attended by two boys. His M strument was a violin, made of a gourd, with three strings of horse-hair, not in single hairs, but a number for each string untwisted; the bow the same; the body of the violin was formed of half a long gourd ; the bridge, two cross sticks ; the top, the skin of a guana, stretched tightly over the edges; the neck was about two feet long, orna• mented with plates of brass, having a hollow brass knob at the end. To this instrument was hung a diminutive pair of sandals, to denote his wandering occupation, a piece of ❑atron, strings of cowries, and stripes of cloth. The boys had hollow gourds with stones or beans in them, with which they kept time by holding them in one hand, and beating them against the other. The musician accompa nied his instrument with his voice, the boys joining in chorus. His songs were extempore.—Clapperton's Se cond Expedition. AN IMPUDENT, INDISCREET TIIIEF.-011 Saturday night, the house of respectable individual at Be verley was broken into by a fellow ❑amed JONES, who it seems is a notorious character in the neighbourhood. He had made his way undetected into the bed-room of the master and mistress of the house, where he had stolen money from the pockets of their clothes. In the course of his depredations, however, having found some wine, he made free with it till he became so much intoxicated, that his noise and singing awoke the initiates of the house, who having given the alarm and procured assis•ance, be was taken into custody. He was yesterday examined be fore the Magistrates, and committed to York Castle, to take his trial at the present assizes for the burglary, Hull Packet. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. TATE V. MOSS, SAYERS V. HANDLEY. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied this morn ing till eleven o'clock, in his private'room with these cases, the subject of which, we understand, related to Wards of the Court, but in consequence of the private hearing the facts did not transpire. THELLUSON V. WOODFORD. His LORDSHIP postponed his judgment on this case till Saturday, in consequence Of having been unable to read the papers. BULL V. PRITCHARD. The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon the" application of Mr. Horne, stated that he would appoint some day next week on which ho would . give judgment in this case. BEVERIDGE V. NAY. It will be recollected that some time ago an ap plication was made to the Court, in this case, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from carrying on the business of a surgeon in Newgate-street. The defendant was nephew of the plaintiff, with whom he had served his apprenticeship. An agreement was afterwards entered into between them for a part nership, to for two years, one of the provisos of which was, that the defendant should not carry on business within five miles of Newgate-street, un der the penalty of 50001. At the dissolution of the partnership, the defendant took a house a few doors only from his uncle's, where he carried on the business under the firm of Beveridge and Hay. An injunction was granted to restrain him from doing so, and this morning Mr. HORNE applied for its dissolution upon the coming in of the defendant's • answer—contending that the agreement could not be considered as-bind ing on the defendant after the_ artnership. • The Learned Counsel had not concluded in opeM" ing when we left ; and , the case appears likely to occupy the whole day. . . ~ .. , VICE-CHANCELLOR'S 'COURT.' BUSINESS OF THE COURT. Mr. SUDDEN said lie wished to draw his Honour's attention to the order he, made a few. days since, from the terms of which it would be naturally in ferred that Counsel were remiss in attending to their duties. Now the fault aid not rest with Counsel, but with the constitution of the Court. He had himself given up all Irish and Scotch Ap peals in the House of Lords, but it could not be ex pected that he was to decline taking a brief in other cases in that House, and if he did not, the diffi culties of which his Honour complained must occur. VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am always most willing, Mr. Sugden, to consult the comfort and convenience of Counsel; but the plan we have been acting upon was very injurious in its consequences, not only in wasting the time of the Court, but also in creating much additional expense to suitors. There is alwayn two Counsel at least engaged in every motion,,or petition, it will therefore be very easy for the junior to attend, if it is inconvenient foi the senior so to do. I feel inclined to try the effect of the order. Mr. SUGDEN—There is another plan I will suggests which I think would be preferable, viz., for the Court to go regularly through the list, and take any case that might be ready, and then, instead of striking the cases out when Counsel were not in attendance, to begin the list a second, or, if necessary, a third time• 1 do not mention this, (said Mr. S.) on my own'ae count, for I should be very willing to give up bank rupt petitions altogether ; but it strikes me, by such an arrangement, the Court would have always sufficient business to goon with, and it was extremely , painful to clients to have their cases struck .out of the paper,—they naturally thought their Counsel fled ' glected their duty. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Monday last was suf ficient to prove that something should be done; on that day several junior Counsel, who were present when their cases were called on, refused to proceed in the absence of their leader, it was therefore ne cessary to have a rule that would expedite the-busi ness. I have made a calculation that twenty mi nutes are lost every day by Counsel not being in. a d t a t y e s n d i n a n t c h e e . y e N a r o i w, we a t s h t u l e s o,43 Court r s t i e e t s n two y s h . u n r u e: ready to do all I can for the convenience of Counsel, but it is my duty to see the time of the Court is not wasted.

After a very long argument, His HONOUR refused the application, and o rdered the injunction to continue. • NOVEL APPLICATION. A. gentleman applied in propria persona to the Vice-Chancellor for his cheque on the Accountant" General,-to pay him (the applfeant) a sum of monei, to which he stated he was entitled from an 0 1 ° Chancery suit. The VICE-CHANCELLOR told the gentleman that he had mistaken his power, he had a° authority to draw cheques on the itccountasfr General, if there was any money to which he (the applicant) was entitled, he must proceed in the regular way. The gentleman said be had so much to do with solicitors, that he rished, if possible, to have done without them. The VICE-CHANCELLOR again told him h-e must proceed in the regular way.

The persons employed are all active men, and better paid than in other parishes, and those who are vigilant, are preferred and rewarded for , good conduct. The watchmen have seventeen shillings a-week each, the patrols twenty shillings, and the serjean ts of the watch twenty-five shillings. Each party is a watch on the other, and those who neglect to complain 80° 4 those who misconduct themselves, are dismissed; but is case a complaint is made by a watchman against a p a trol, and it is proved to be well founded, the patrol is distnissed, and the complainant is appointed to fill his place; and the same regulation exists with respect to the patrol and ser jeants of the watch. The watchmen do not call the hour, and as the parties are always on the move, house breakers and other thieves are the more liable to be de tected. This new Lain of watching, we understand, has fully answered the expectation of those gentlemen wh° suggested the regulations. ANECDOTES OF EMANCIPATION.—A few days ago a gentleman from Glasgow chanced to be from home on a visit to a certain village in North Islands, and, entering the place he was thus addressed by an old WO' landman of his acquaintance :—" It's to be a crait tay 111 our place to mohrn, Mr. --....," " A ye , w h at i s to be t . done?" inquired the gentleman. " Och, to petition agar"' grantin' falarther cohnscience to the Cahthelics." " }tuts are surely mistaken," returned the gentleman, smiling' it is concessions you must mean." " Noh !" said n°"' NALD, sprucely, " it's cohnscience I tell ye. Did n s ~ seat an' read in prent wi' my sin e'en ?"—Again, in th e neighbourhood of Glasgow lately, au honest Hiber nian came up to his employer, and thus addressed him with an air of triumph :—" Well, have ye heard the good n ews, master ?" ‘. What news ?" " Why, that 1: 1, ' 14 O'CoNNELL's got into the Parliament House : an' when he was in, the KING comes up to him, an' tak's h im by the fist, an' well, DAN,' says he, sit you there,' say s he, an ' the man dare say a w or d t o ye,' says h e.

THE LONDON REVIEW. i . I. This n ew periodical which has been so frequently announced in the newspapers for the last two or three months, has at length made its appearance; and by so doing has effectually set at rest the spe culations of those who, from certain previous writ ings of the Editor, Mr. Blanco White, had inferred that ttre principles of the Review would be Anti 160holic, and consequently illiberal. Those who Vrere in the secret, Lad always affirmed that the Praprietors of this Review and the principal writers in it were men who, by works already before the Public, had proved themselves to be imbued with the improved spirit of the age, and possessed of many of its valuable ideas, and the first number does not fall short of the expectations which this linn ouncernent held up. It is, perhaps, unfortunate for the London Re view that the two articles of greatest merit in this !lumber are on two subjects very nearly allied to Oae another, and which do not usually excite the t otiosity and interest of the general reader, in the degree which their importance deserves. We allude to the articles on Transportation and on Police, the filter of which from its lively style and extraordi "try felicity of illustration, the latter from the ori- Orrality and profundity of its views, cannot fail to 'make a deep impression en all who are capable of appreciating either the talents of a writer or those of thinker. ,The article on Police, in particular, ought to be reprinted as a pamphlet, and put into the bands of every member of both Houses of Parlia ment, 'as a manual to direct them in the important libutirwlfich cannot fail to be forced apon them almost immediately by the public voice, that of entirely remodelling the barbarous and ineffi cient arrangements which the Police of London idrords for-the guardianship of property, and the 4PPtehension of offenders. There are single pages of this article containing more useful suggestions, 44 0 a greater quantity of specific and valuable in 'ermation, than any entire essay which has yet ap peared, as far as we are aware, in any of the publica ta°4 of the day on this subject. Of the work in general, the most marked and ho al:irable characteristic is the total absence of any th ing like quackery. None of the vulgar arts of mercenary writers for acquiring popularity are here Vi sible. There is no playing fast and loose with o pinion`, ---no pandering to the political, moral, or teligioos antipathies of any class of readers, nor ministering to the baser passions of mankind, by that pertness and flippancy which amuses only by raomeitarily exalting the reader in his own opinion, at the expence of the individual against whom the kreasms of the writer are directed. In their lite %lT as well as in their philosophical articles, the Thmduetors of the London Review have evidently II I ) , Purposes but s er i ous l y to inculcate what they ° I ladder to be the truths appropriate to the subject qythich they treat, and to rely for success on the Nue of their ideas, and their power of stating them /1.4 ,_t1i Sufficient clearness and force, to give full effect natural interestingness of the ideas themselves. CLERGY OF THE DIOCESS OF EXETER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. j?ltts--You will have perceived by the Morning et °l ° 7l 4l of yesterday, that , it is the intention of the L r ay of the diocess of Exeter " to proce e d t o t ° lldoh in a b o dy, f or th e p ur p ose o f represent i ng 0 the Duke of Wellington the danger to the Pro t:Etkat Church which cannot fail to result from the ' r esent measure." By the 'same po s t w hi c h con t.,ed this , intell i gence to the above-named Jou rna l, have received from a reverend friend at Exeter a pro gramme of the whole procession, as agreed upon at th e last meeting of the clergy, of which I _send . o ti an abstract:— Every clergym an is to b e c l othed or covered in the funeral-pall of the parish to which he belongs (in imitation of the Blanketeers, who attempted to affiance to London in a body about twelve years ago.) The funeral-pall indicates the approaching death of Constitution. The procession will be headed by the Bishop of Rath and Wells, whose costume and appearance Will 'be Very striking: in addition to the pall with Which his Lordship is to be clothed like the rest, there will be placed in front of his mitre (which he Will wear on this occasion) a large Death's-head and 633 §-bones (indicative of the mortality of the ohstitution); and before him, he will carry, sus- Derided round his neck, the large hollow drum of the First Regiment of Guards, hung with black, upon which he will roll at intervals, as is customary At military funerals.

The meeting, an adjourned one, was called for the Purpose of considering the best means of furthering the interests of the fund. Mr. E. L.

The customary adjournment used to be sometimes a fortnight, never less than ten days ; but now it is to be only from the Thursday till the Wednesday following, losing only three days of business—Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. The object is, to be able to get through the Government affairs of Estimates, Supplies, &c., which have been much delayed by the Catholic Bills. So that the Parliament may be prorogued early in June ; a r:lief for which the Members no doubt will be most grateful.—Morn. Paper. LORD CLANCARTY.—His Grace the Dukc of WELLINGTON wrote a few days ago to the Earl of CLANCARTY, at his Lordship's seat, Garbally, Ballinasloe, requesting the favour of his Lordship's proxy in favour of the Bill for the Relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. To his Grace's request the Noble Earl imme diately assented, and after having written a letter to that effect, the Nohle Earl repaired to the Brunswick Com mittee-room, and with his own hand erased his name from the list of the county of Galway Brunswickers.—Con naught Journal. CURIOUS MISTAKE.—The Rev. E. IRVING is, it appears, making a provincial tour of declamation and denunciation against Popery. On his arrival at Bir mingham the other day, he inquired for his dear brother in the ministry the Rev. Mr. 11PDoNNELL ; now, it so happens, that one of the Catholic Clergymen of the place is of the same name, and, as chance would have it, the dealer in Revelation phials was directed to the strong hold of Popery. He inquires accordingly for the Rev. Mr. M.DoNNELL, and finds that he is not at home; but, conceiving that the " oration" with which he was charged to be . a sufficient warrant for taking possession, he observi s to the maid, that he believes he is to preach in that chapel next Sunday. "To preach, Sir," exclaims Deborah, " I didn't know anything of it ; I thought there was only to be Mass." " Maass," vociferates the Preacher, horrified at the fatal word, and throwing himself into one of his most grotesque attitudes ; " Maass," and with hands up lifted, and features harrowed by " the abominations of Rome," hastily withdraws from the contagion of a Popish chapel. It is said, that his two oblique luminaries " looked most unutterable things" as be turned from the door. THEATRE.---His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT and her Grace the Duchess of NORTHUM BERLAND honoured the theatre with their presence, for the first time, on Saturday evening. There was what might be justly termed, "an overflowing house." The array of beauty, rank, and fashion presented by the boxes was brilliant in the extreme. His Excellency and her Grace, attended by a numerous and splendil suite, arrived at the theatre at seven o'clock, and on entering the state box, which was magnificently fitted up for the occasion, were received with loud demonstrations of applause. On the rising of the curtain, the national anthem of " God save the King" was given by Madame CATALANS and the operatic strength of the company with very powerful effect. The dramatic entertainments were Paul Pry, and the farce of Simpson and Co. After the comedy Madame CATALANS appeared on the stage, and was received with the greatest acclamation. She sang the air " Frenar Vorrei," from the Italian Opera Semiramis, and, for the first time, during her present visit, Rossm's beautiful composition "Di tante palpiti " His Excellency and the Duchess remained during the entire performances, and retired amid general acclamation.—Dublin Morning Register. We understand that the issue of the mission with which Count MATUSCEWITZ was charged has been very satisfactory, the Emperor of RUSSIA. having consented that the negotiations connected with the execution of the Greek treaty should be carried on by the Representatives of France and England in the name of the three Powers, parties to that treaty. The Ambassadors of these two States will proceed forthwith to Constantinople. We con gratulate the public on the prospect of that event which we have so frequently and so strenuously recommended— the speedy and satisfactory conclusion of thi s l ong - pen di ng and anxious business. —Times. A Provincial Journal (the Clonntel Adver tiser) remarks, that in proportion to the diminution of male prisoners, there is an increase of female candidates for the gaol. The same Journal calls the attention of the proper authorities to this subject, and suggests, as a re medy, that " a tread-mill should be erected fur the exer cise of females." If there is an absence of gallantry or tenderness for the fair sex in this suggestion, it has, at least, the merit of novelty.—Dublin Morning Register. CATHOLIC MODERATION.—At a time when the Clergy of the Establishment are so unworthily active in rousing the bad passions of the people and endea vouring to defeat a wise measure of national justice and tranquillity—when the HOILNERS and ROBISSONS are call ing for blood, and the lltvxNcs are exhorting ° to retire into the closet, and pray for vengeance on the adversary," it is quite " refreshing" to peruse the following Christian sentiments from the pen of a Catholic Bishop, the Right Rev. Dr. WALsx, V. A. of the Midland District:— " Whatever may he the result of the contemplated mea soros in favour of Catholic Emancipation, my respected fellow-townsmen (of Wolverhampton) have no reason to he alarmed on my account. I shall continue to exhort my beloved (look, as I have always exhorted them, to love all persons without exception in God and for God ; to return good for evil; to bless those who curse them ; to pray for those who persecute and calumniate them ; to be ever ready, with the good Samaritan, to pour oil and wine into the wounds of their afflicted neighbours, whatever may be his religious opinions ; to be uniformly - guided by the Christian rule of doing to others, as they would have others to do to them.' And, in relation to Church pro perty, I shall continue to press on the minds of my re verend brethren the instructions I have myself received, that whatever may be the amount of their Ecclesiastical revenue, after they have taken from it what is requisite for the due celebration of Divine Service, and their own decent support, they are not at liberty to dispose of the remainder as they please—that the surplus is the patrimony of their children, the Poor." This is true Christian be nevolence, worthy of the Clerical character in any creed. THE FANCY. FIGHT BETWEEN BROWN AND J. DOBELL, AT DEUX-HILL FARM, NEAR BRIDGEI*JORTH. This major affair, in which the two biggest taco in the P.R. were pitched against each other, was decided on Tuesday, at Deux-hill Farm, in the fran chise of Wenlock, about four miles from the " Cloud capped towers" of Bridgenorth, and 144 Miles from London. Brown, who, it may be recollected, con quered Tom Shelton, and was conquered in turn by Phil Sampson, was backed at 3001. to Dobell's 2501., and in addition to this, agreed to give Do , -bell 501. for permission to name the place of contest. Dobell is well known as the slashing host of the Black Bull, in St. John-street, Smithfield; and on two former occasions fought and defeated Bailey, a butcher, with whom he had had a professional dispute. His good fortune on these occasions seemed to have raised him " pretty considerably" in his own estimation, as well as that of his friends; and during a little chajfino match at his own house, in which Brown said he would fight him 600/. to 400/., he expressed his willingness to accept the challenge. Subsequent consideration induced Brown to think he had offered more odds than the report of Dobell's prowess justified, and he therefore fell back a point, and in a fresh challenge proposed fighting 300/. to 250/. To this Dobell acceded, and the whole of the "ready" was posted in twelve meetings. Tuesday last was fixed for the important trial, and it was not till the Thursday be fore that Dobell was informed that Bridgenorth was to be the place of rendezvous. He had trained un der the auspices of Harry Lancaster, at Hendon, Middlesex; and On Saturday morning set out " so los" on the box of the Wonder coach, for Towces ter, where he sojourned for the night, exciting the wonder of the yokels, by the wonderful size of his muscles, and the equally wonderful stakes he had depending on the issue of the battle,—an issue which he could only anticipate-in one way, namely, in the defeat of his antagonist. On Sunday he pur sued his journey to Birmingham, and pitched his tent at Arthur Mathewson's, in the course of the next day producing no small curiosity among the " Drums, as he paraded his immense proportions through their crowded streets. Had the celebrated figure of Achilles dismounted from its pedestal, in Hyde Park, and gone down to dance a hornpipe round the figure of Nelson, they could not have opened their soot-clogged squinters with greater astonishment. On the Monday afternoon he set out for Bridgenorth, which he reached the same even ing, and fixed upon the Royal Oak for his quarters. He complained of a slight cold, and the fatiguing effects of his long journey; but he still was cheer ful, and met his friends with confidence. Brown had trained at the New Inn, Shipley, and in naming Bridgenorth for the scene of action, was influenced by a desire not only to gratify his towns men, but to wipe out the recollection of the stain which his defeat by Sampson had thrown npon his reputation. He was also assured that no inter , ference was to be apprehended from the Magistrates of the Borough, as they were both out of the way. Brown also complained of acold, so that so far there was no advantage on either side. On Monday evening he arrived at his brother's, the King's Head at Bridgenorth, in company with Tom Spring, Tom Cribb, Ned Neal, Harry Holt, and other celebrated members of the Ring; but it was soon discovered that some of the fastidious inhabitants of the bo rough would not have their peace broken in upon by a hostile meeting, and that un application had been made to a Magistrate for a warrant to apprehend Brown. The hint of such aplot was sufficient to produce a change of position, and Brown being popped into a post-chaise with Neal, made his re treat out of the borough, to the house of a friend, about two miles distant, where he sojourned for the night. Dobell remained perfectly undisturbed. The ensuing morning a Magistrate was seen scudding about the town in search of persons to swear in as special constables to preyent a breach of the peace in his jurisdiction, and all hope of fight ing on the race course, as was intended, was aban doned. A ,consultation then took place : fig the purpose of choosing new ground, when the Stake holder named Deux-hill Farm, about four miles dis tant, and altogether out of the reach of the grabbing propensities of the Borough Beak, as the new place of assemblage. Thither the Commissary and the waggon-tra►n pursued their course, and in due time a very excellent ring was formed. In the interim the crowd continued to pour in from all parts of the country, and a very large concourse of spectators was collected round the arena. We could not help contrasting the appearance of this motley throng, however, with that which we witnessed when Brown fought Sampson. In point of respectability there was no comparison; and as to numbers, we should thing they did not amount to one-tenth. In fact, the late " Hoax at Leicester," and the shame ful conduct of Jern Ward, seem to have excited such disgust among the respectable patrons of pugi lism, that scarce one can now be found to give it their countenance. The innocent alike share with the guilty, and, however honourably or fairly a match may be made, the public suspicions have been so much excited that betting is almost at an end. This was particularly the case in the present match, and we have seldom seen less moneyed speculations. It is true, some bets at 7 and even 6 to 4 were taken by the immediate friends and ad mirers of Dobell; but this was to a limited extent; and on the morning of fighting not an individual could be found to take 2 or even 2i to 1, although it was repeatedly offered. It was discovered in truth that Blrown was sufficiently well to win, while Dobell was feverish and agitated; and all seemed to have adopted the maxim that " he who means not to lose had better not bet at all." At eleven o'clock Dobell set out in a post-chaise for the ground, and at the same time Tom Spring went to conduct his man in the like direction ; but he had first to cross the Severn, to the house in which he was concealed, and then to return by the same route to get upon the Wenlock road, and here, though a good judge, he had nearly been outge neralled ; for the worthy Leak to whom we have already alluded, and whose choler had been raised to a higher pitch by the unruly taunts of the disap pointed populace, having made up his mind, if pos sible, to spoil the sport, issued his warrant, and de sired his officers to station themselves on the bridge to catch Brown as he returned with Spring. \ This was cleverly intended, but a lucky disclosure pre vented its execution. A scout carried the " wink" to Brown, who at once made a detour down the banks of the Severn on foot, while Spring and Neal continued their course in the post-chaise till they reached the very bowels of the ambuscade. The order to halt was given—the door was opened, and the prisoner demanded ; but 10, the bird had floWn, and the laugh was completely against the tools of his Worship, who slunk back to their em ployer to announce their disappointment. In the interim, Brown crossed the river in a boat, and joining his friends at a distant part of the road, was safely coducted to the field of battle, which was si tuate upon a bill commanding a beautiful prospect, to which the warm rays of a spring sun gave unusual cheerfulness. All was now bustle and expectation. Dobell had been walking about the Ring for some time, with his seconds, Harry Lancaster and Jem Burns, and complained of being feverish and unwell. At half past twelve, Brown approached the ropes, and was received with loud shouts. He wore his usual colours, crimson and white. He WAS the first to shy his castor into the Ring; and then approaching Dobell, shook hands with him. Dobell's colours were blue with a white spot. That part of the contract which provided that Dobell should receive 50/. before he entered the ring was now performed, and this was only effected by bringing i in a portion of th e gate an d waggon mo re .Dobell having counted the cash and placed it in safe hands, immediately entered the ring, and the ceremony of peeling forthwith commenced; Spring and • Neal assisting Brown, and Lancaster and Jem Burns lending a hand . to Dobell. The toss for choke of pOgitiOn was won for Drown by Ned Neal, who of course placed his man's back to the sun. On being completely stripped, a betterjudgment could be lamed of the condition of both mend and we should say, most decidedly i that neither " was up to the mark." Brown was thinner than we ex pected, and his flesh had neither the colour nor firmness Of rude health ; it hung rather loose upon hirti, and there *as a bil'ous east in the colour of his skin which did not augur well. Still he was in high r spirits, and smiled at his friends with good humour. Among those who seemed most anxious to court his favourhaving his money upon him— was Phil Sampson, who assured him it was a gift, for that Dobell was a there muff. Throughout, in fact, Brown had the strongest body of friends. His weight we should calculate at fifteen stone, and he had an evident advantage in height and length over Dobell. Dobell had, to our eye, any thing but the cut of a pugilist. It is true he stood upon a pair of most substantial understandings, and that his arms were not less brawny ; but then. his corpora tion was unquestionably too big for heavy work, and the shortness of his feelers led us to believe, as it proved, that however hard he might hit with the object close to him, he could not hit with effect at a distance. His weight was Isst. 7lbs., and in looks he was not less confident than bis antagonist. THE FIGHT. At three minutes to one all was in readiness for business, and the seconds and bottle-holders retired from their men. Round 1. Brown covered his front well, and throwing his arms across his face, looked smiling through them at his antagonist. Dobell seemed serious, and was evidently preparing to hit. He made first play with his left, but was out of distance, and was stopped. He tried the same hand again, but was again too far off to make an impres sion. Brown seeing that nothing was to be done by act ing on the defensive, made up his mind to begin—made' a feint with his left, and popped in his right slightly on Dobell's mouth ; he then drew back, but again advancing, quickly delivered his left on Dobell's eye, and his right en his cheek. The former blow filled Dobell's eye with water. Both now made quick play, and slight hits were followed by a tremendous smack on Dobell's conch, which drew claret, and dropped him like a sack of malt. First blood and first knock-down blow announced for Brown, amidst the deafening shouts of his fiiends, who offered ten to one in his favour. Neal, too, was in high glee, as it made him the winner of two fives, which he had bet on these events. 2. Dobell came up serious, but ready for the affray ; and Brown smiled good humouredly, as if it were all his own. After a short spar Dobell tried his right, but Brown jumped actively away ; Brown returned again to his man, and with great quickness planted his left and right on his pbiz, and broke away. Dobell, somewhat annoyed, rushed in and delivered his right on Brown's check, and his left on the body ; but did not seem to make much impression. Both now got to a rally, in which some heavy blows were exchanged. Brown then drew back, and Dobell rushing after him, received two flush hits in the face, right and left. Dobell would not be denied, but rattled in, while Brown retreated, stopping and hitting with great severity. Dobell was not idle, but his blows fell short, and at last Brown caught him a ter rific hit over the right eye with his left, making a deep incision. Dobell stood it like bricks and morter, and rushed to a close, when Brown slipped down rather ques tionably. 3. Brown came up playfully, while Dobell's dexter ogle cut a most formidable appearance. Both stood quiet for a time; but at length Brown, seeing his man inclined for reflection, rushed in with great rapidity, and catching poor Dobell a heavy slap on the left jaw with his right, dropped him again amidst loud shouts and encouraging exclamations from Sampson. Few, in fact, seemed to think that the poor Londoner deserved any quarter. 4. Dobell found there was no use in out-fighting, and therefore determined to rush on to business. Brown, how ever, who was active on his legs, jumped back, and again caught " the Bull's head" on the grinder casket, and downed him again._(" Bravo, Brown—it's all your own —take him away.") 5. Dobell, no way daunted or discouraged by the shouts of victory, rushed to work. Brown missed his tight and left as be came in, and Dobell planted his right on his throat.—(Well done, Dobell.)—This he followed with a slap from his right on Brown's scent-box, and drew blood for the first time from the Pride of Bridgenorth. This seemed to give Dobell new life, and in rushing in, Brown went down. 6. Brown ready—skewed the superiority of length, and again jobbed heavily right and left, and brole away. .This he repeated, when Dobell charged him courageously ; on grappling him, with intent to fib, Brown wouldn't have it, and went down—Dobell on him. 7. Brown planted his left on the cannister, and his right on the body of the publican. Dobell took it bravely, and without flinching ; he then rushed to in-fighting—he missed several of his blows, and after mutual, but ineffec tual attempts to fib, Brown got down. This shew of caution did not suit Dobell's friends, and they cried out " fight fair." Brown's friends, however, replied " all right,". " nothing wrong." Indeed Brown did not seem to keep hit legs with certainty. 8. Dobell on the defensive, but not sufficiently quick to stop his antagonist, who jobbed him twice on the head. This long shooting did not suit Dobell, and he had re course to his rush, and planted his right on Brown's jaw, and in the scramble which followed Brown went down. 9. Dobell popped in his left rather unexpectedly, but made but little impression. Brown was not long in re turning the compliment right and left. This he repeated, when Dobell bored in desperately, as the only chance. Brown retreated,:fighting and meeting him as he followed. At last Dobell caught him round the neck, and fibbed slightly; in the tussle which followed, Brown fell ; and Dobell, in hitting as Brown was on his knees, caught him with his right on the breech. Brown called " foul," and it was foul, but was not noticed by the umpires; indeed, the blow was purely accidental. 10. Dobell again rushed in, bitting right and left, but Brown retreated, stopping and jobbing in turn. In the end he was bored down on his knee.--(More chaffing from Sampson and Brown's friends.) 11. Good stopping on both sides, but Brown succeeded in making two jobbing hits. Dobell again had recourse to his desperate rush, and a close followed, when both tried vigorously for the fall, but neither of them could get the lock, and in the end Dobell dragged Brown down, showing that his strength was still unimpaired. 12. On getting to their seconds' knees, both piped a little, but Dohell most. Dobell came up as game as a pebble, and tried his left at Brown's body, but was out of distance. He then hit with his right, but was stopped. He found that nothing but close contact would do, and pursued the rushing system. Brown retreated round the ring before him, and actually turned round to avoid, but in again meeting his man, he caught him with a flush hit with his left, and Dohell fell on his face.—(Chaffing now commenced on the part of StoCkman for Dohell. He swore that Brown's shoulder was out, and that all Dobell bad to do was to go in and win it. )—Brown had certainly hurt the thumb of his right hand, but no material mis chief was done. 13. Both now shewed distress, but Dobell was most winded. Brown smiled, and, after a short pause, let fly right and left, planting both blows heavily, and repeating the dose till he hit his man down. Brown fell himself on his knees, spewing weakness in the pins. 14. Dobell now shewed additional symptoms of weak ness, and was slower than ever. After a short pause, Brown rushed in, planted his left and right, and dropped him heavily. 15. Dollen vindicated his cou►age by again rushing in ; but Brown met him with two terrific jobbing hits right and left, and again floored him all abroad, and amidst the tri umphant shouts of the Shropshire lads. 16. Dobell evidently felt that his chance of winning was but trifling; still summoning all his remaining energies, he rushed to in-fighting—he missed his right-handed hit and was met with a terrific left-handed job in the muzzle. He would not be denied, however, and fought away gallantly, making some wild hits. Brown was active, and had him at all points till he fell almost exhausted.—(Dobell's brother now endeavouri.d to persuade him to give in, but he re solved to have another shy.) 17 and last. He once more rushed in, but Brown re treating, met him as he came forward with a flush hit in the mouth and dropped him for the last time. On again getting up he consented, though reluctantly, to say " enough," and the hat was thrown up amidst shouts of victory for Brown, who has thus regained the confidence of his Shropshire friends. The fight lasted 22 minutes, and a:bell was taken from the ground dreadfully punished about the head. Brown showed but a slight scar under one of his eyes, and was so fresh, that he seized a whip with intent to administer it to Stockman for his chaffing, but was prevented by Tom Spring. The chaffing on both sides was bad, and parti cularly towards Dobell, who, as a stranger in that part of the country, ought to have been protected. It is but just to state, however, that the old ring• goers were most to blame. REMARKS. During this tight Brown had it all his own way, and shelved the superiority dt length and science over mere weight and muscular strength. hobell ; although the first to attack, almost invariably hit short ; and was unable to plant his blows well home. At in-fighting- neither was clever, and there was not a good throw throughout the Contest. Brown, in getting away from Dolyell'srushes, was deemed by some to be over cautious; but the fact is, he was weak in the legs, and was glad to shake him off in any Way, preferring that which was of least incon venience to himself; if not a good fighter, Dobell has proved himself a game man, and with this praise he must be content, for it is too late for him to hope for improvement in the fistic art, It was clear throughout that Brown was not in the best condition; but had he been less fresh, we think he understood his business too well, and was too good an out-fighter, to give:Dohell a chance. Neither of the men had arrived in town last night ; elthough Dobell reached Birmingham on Tuesday evening. Neal has returned, and will set out for his training quarters this day. Brown's right hand was dread fully puffed after the battle was over, and the in jury is supposed to have been sustained in the third round. SILK TRADE.-REMARKS ON THE MAC- CLESFIELD PETITION. At a general meeting of the Manufacturers, Silk-Throwsterß, and Dyers of Macclesfield, held on the 12th instant, the Mayor in the Chair, a long and argumentative petition was agreed upon, to be presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of Eldon, and to the Com mons by the Members for the county. This pe tition describes and compares the past and the present state of the trade of Macclesfield. It attributes all its evils to the introduction of fo reign silk goods ; and it finally prays for the re enactment of the prohibition of foreign manu factured silks, and that the duty of ss. per lb. still paid on foreign thrown silks, instead of be ing taken off, as proposed (it is said) by " some persons interested only as manufacturers," should be " restored to the amount fixed by the Act of 1824," viz. 7s. 6d. per lb. A few remarks may suffice to set this matter in a more correct point of view. For the sake of the argument, let us admit that, from some cause or other, there is great want of employ ment, and great distress, in Macclesfield. Does not the same distress exist in the cotton and other manufactories ? Are not complaints at this time prevalent in all trades ? And is it not a well known fact, that, if we look at the silk trade, we shall find the same distress equally complained of in Spitalfields, at Macclesfield, and at Lyons ? How, then, can the British manufacturer be justified in attributing his distress to the admis sion of French silk goods ? It is a curious fact, that the local press of the South of France has now for some time been employed (in " leading articles" of their newspapers, &c.) in accounting for the depreciation of the French silk trade, and the distress prevailing amongst their weavers. They, too, assert, like the meeting of Maccles field, that their wages are lowered, their looms unemployed, and profits lessened. And all these effects they also attribute to competition, and to their being undersold by foreign manu facturers. Both parties probably honestly be lieve what they say ; but surely the Legislature should pause before they act upon such conflict ing testimony. Upon this subject, indeed, the Macclesfield petition completely answers itself. Foreign nations," it says, " are adopting the system this country has abandoned, and are encouraging their own manufactures at any cost. By acting upon this principle, France has fostered her silk trade until it has outstripped every competitor." —Would it be believed, that the very next sen tence but one of this petition begins as follows : - Your petitioners are informed, that the silk manufacture of France is now in a depressed state, but they submit this fact has no bearing on the case." Thus the French silk trade is described as prosperous and depressed in the same breath; its prosperity is cited to induce us to follow its example, but its adversity is asserted to have no bearing on the case. Surely this is strange logic. But this seeming.contradiction is attempted to be reconciled. " The silk trade of France," it is argued, "-is, principally an export one, and therefore subject to all its incidents and fluctua tions, such as those under which many of our export trades are now labouring." But, accord ing to these petitioners, a most favourable " in cident and fluctuation" has oflate years occurred to France—namely, so immense an import into England as to ruin the whole English manufac ture ! Why, then, are the French not prospe rous ? And if the cause of their want of pros perity be the state of the whole trading world (and it is admitted that our own " export trade" is bad), may not that account for the distress at Macclesfield, without conjuring up a trade with France which has never existed to the extent these arguments imply, and which has certainly never produced the evils attributed to it. But some facts are stated to prove that all these evils arise from French competition.— " Four years ago, it is said, a great proportion of the looms of this place were employed iii the ma nufacture of light and fancy articles ;" but it is added, " the introduction of similar articles, or substitutes, from the foreign loom, at prices below their teach, has almost entirely annihilated this most valuable branch of the manufacture." Now let us look at dates : " four years ago" brings us to 1825, a whole year before the ad mission of foreign silk goods ; but a time of ex cessive speculation, when manufacturers, " light and fanciful" as the articles they made, spread up, and when they disappeared as quickly. This very petition states, that " in the latter part of 1825, and the early part of 1826, the trade (of Macclesfield) became greatly depressed—great numbers of those embarked in it failed, &c."— Now, it is a well known fact, that in and pre vious to the year 1824, numbers of persons en tered into the silk-trade of Macclesfield without capital ; and, speculating upon the chances of large profits, it is well known that such men, all, or nearly all, failed during " the panic which followed, and that the trade is now in the hands of comparatively few ; but these men of capital and talent, one of whom might be named who does the business, awl holds the machinery and property of perhaps twenty manufacturers, whose failure " in the latter part of 1825" this petition so feelingly deplores,—a state of things ob scurely alluded to in the petition itself, which speaks of " transfers of property, in cases of mortgagees who are compelled to take the secu ritiese money are of i sis t n rg i t pac h ed e (se m at.l ii.naa"eti period, :osnhey eef tnr h atd e i f le o e i s i r a .t t r t u a l nsitions, at. all the of was no place carried to such an excess as in the " borough of Macclesfield ;" and it is surely " too bad" to attribute the failure of those spe culations, or the consequences of them, to an act of enlightened legislation, calculated at once to benefit the nation and the manufacturer. But the fact is, that the articles made at Mac clesfield are not, generally speaking, imported at all from France. The Spitalfields manufacturer may with some show of reason complain of the smuggling of broad silk goods, but the staple manufacture of Macclesfield is that of silk hand kerchiefs, which are not imported from France either by the smuggler or the regular trader.— If their figured handkerchiefs have been in any degree injured by the crape handkerchiefs of has a :A la c t c France, they have been superseded in a much t greater degree by the gauze handkerchiefs of Scotlandand iefs made ; b e en computed ana lesfield have increased since 1826, as four, or even as five, to one. And yet it was predicted that the allowing the import from India would ruin the home trade. We may soon expect a petition from the Hindoos, complaining of the ruinows effect of a free trade, and praying for a prohibi tion of Macclesfield handkerchiefs. O ne o f t h e prayers of the petitioners is, that, for the pro tection of the throwsters, the duty on imports should be increased from ss. to 7s. 6d. per lb., that is, as it existed in 1824. Is that increase necessary for such protection ? Let fig ures, which cannot err, answer the question: Italian silks imported into England Years. Raw. Thrown. 1824 2,080,906 lb 452,469 1825 1,951,057 548,777 1826......... 769,325 .280,999 1827 1 747,832 391,757 1828 9 ,310,02 ....435,430 It will be seen from this table, that the quan tity of thrown silk imported in 1828 is abso lutely less than the quantity importedin 1824; and this disproportion is further increased on a comparison of the importation of raw silk in the, same years ; and if the sales of raw silk at the East India House were taken into the, aeounti the disproportion would be found to, be very much greater. As, therefore, under the reduced duty, the importation of foreign thrown silk has lessened and not increased, it cannot be con tended that a restoration of the larger duty is wanted for the protection of the British throwster. But the manufacturers of Spitalfields, or a por tion of them, have at length petitioned for the abolition or the reduction of these protecting duties. These individuals are described by the Macclesfield petitioners as " some persons inte rested only as manufacturers," who make propo sals " in feelings of despair rather than from a mature consideration of the subject." The Spitalfields manufacturers would appear at an?* rate to have some " method in their madness, as their views agree with those of the most en lightened men in the kingdom on the subject, and they would appear to have considered the matter at least as maturely as the counter peti tioners of Macclesfield. RUMOURS OF THE DAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The little kingdom of Portugal, ruined as it is, still continues to be the object of a thousand petty intriguings from diplomatists of all sorts, recognised or unrecognised. Certain gentle Men in the vicinity of Portman-square, alarmed at ON publication of Don Pedro's " avant courier de la guerre •, in the London Journals, and terrified ont of their wits at the probably dreadful effect this intelligence, by itself, might have had on the sensitive nerves of their Royal Master and his friends in Portugal, convoked a solemn con clave in the neighbourhood aforesaid, and there, we hear, was hatched in time for yesterday's packet—the innocent " rumour" of the young Queen's immediate departure for the Brazils. —A ship of the line (sailing from Port man-square probably; for there happens to have been nothing of the kind at Rio), has left the Brazils for the express purpose of car rying off our beautiful little visitor, and restoring her to her transatlantic friends. We should b glad to learn by what terrestrial channel of corn- , munication unopen to mortals of a meaner mould, the Caes de Sodre diplomatists would have re ceived intelligence of the asserted departure of their Ship of the Mist from the Brazils, and of the intended embarkation therein of the little Queen of Portugal, whose continued presence in Eng land seems to cause so much annoyance to these— her faithful subjects in England. Howevsr, the rumour has done its duty ; the present contra- diction of their insidious assertions they will of course honour with their right loyal laughter. The packet and the mail-bag are gone, and the sooner certain characters are gone after them, we think, the better. A ROYAL BEVY. " Observe," said the Prince de Ligne, 44 that graceful and martial figure who is walking with Eugene Beauharnois : that is the Emperor Alex ander. Yonder tall dignified-looking man, on whose arm a fair Neapolitan is playfully hang ing, is no less a personage than the King of Prussia. The lively mask who seems to put his Majesty's gravity somewhat to the test, is perhaps an Empress, or perhaps a grisette. Be neath that Venetian habit, which but ill disguises the amiable affability of the crowned Amphy trion, you see our Emperor, the representative of the most paternal despotism that ever existed. Here is Maximilian, King of Bavaria, in whose open countenance you may read the expressions of his excellent heart. On the throne he does not forget his former rank of Colonel in the French service, and he entertains for his sub jects the same paternal affection which he once cherished for his regiment. Beside him you see a little pale man, with an aquiline nose and fair hair : that is the King of Denmark, whose cheerful manners and happy repartees enliven the Royal parties. He is called the Lustig of the sovereign brigade. Judging from the simplicity of his manners, and the perfect happiness which his little kingdom enjoys, one would never imagine him to be the most absolute Monarch in Europe. Such, never• theless, is the fact ; and in Denmark the royal carriage is preceded . by an equerry armed with a loaded carbine, and the King as he drives along may, if he choose, order any of his subjects to be shot. That colossal figure, whose bulk is not diminished by the ample folds of his domino, is the King of Wirtemberg. Near him stands his son, the Prince Royal, whose attachment to Catherine, Grand Duchess of Oldenburg, de tains him at the Congress, where he shows him self more anxious to please the • lady of his heart than intent on the arrangement of interests which will one day be his own. Those two young men who have . just passed us, are the Prince Royal of Bavaria and his brother Prince Charles. The head of the latter may vie with that of the Antonous. The crowd of people, as various in dress as in appearance, who are buzzing about in every direction, are either reigning Princes, Archdukes, or Dignitaries of different countries, with the exception of a few Englishmen, who are easily distinguishable by the richness of their dresses, I do not perceive a single individual who has not a title tacked to his name."—.Weekly Review. . ~~ ~; ;N ^/~/ ~ `/ I

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. The more enlightened portion of the commercial world will have observed svith satisfaction the an swer given by Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald on Tuesday evening to Mr. Robinson, who brought forward a petition from some operative silk-weavers of Man chester, Salford, and their vicinity, praying for a re turn to the prohibitory laws against the importation of foreign silks. The President of the Board of Trade informed the lion. Member distinctly, that , Government had no intention of reviving the prohi bitory system ; and be added, that when the sub ject should be discussed on Tuesday next, he would undertake to prove that the sufferings of the dis tressed silk-weavers were " not imputable" to the late alterations in the law. We are well enough convinced that it will not require an extraordinary effort of ability from the President of the Board 01 Trade to make good his promise to the letter; but we rejoice that he has spoken out upon this occasion, because it will contribute to settle the minds of the manufacturers, to banish all delusive hopes, avert a number of grievous disappointments, and en courage men to resume the regular transactions of their business ,which had been suspended through an expectation, now declared to be groundless, that his Majesty's Government contemplated some impor tant change. - Really, if it were not for the sake of the poor weavers, we could scarcely command our gravity at these Macclesfield folks and their peti thol, who ascribe the alleged distresses of the trade to the act of 182 E l What, then, has the same act of Parliament produced the ruin of the Lyons manufacturers too ? for their sufferings have been simultaneous with those of Macclesfield, as appears _ _ from the statements of the people of Lyons them %elves. The Macclesfield manufacture, we are in- Airtned, consists principally of what are called Ban handkerchiefs. Now it does so happen that fOt the last year or thereabouts the use of Bandana handkerchiefs has been superseded by that of Cam bric ones; so completely has the fashion veered round. Here, therefore, is an adequate cause for the depression in the former article. Why not pe tition the two Houses of Parliament to prohibit the manufacture of cambric pocket-handkerchiefs, and of cotton kerchiefs for the neck ; since, manifestly, there would be just as little impudence in an at tempt to perpetuate the monopoly against cambrics and cotton, and, with regard to itc efficacy, a great deal more of common sense? Thz communication which we publish on the Macclesfield petition ex hibits such a sound and extensive knowledge of the subject of these complaints, as, without any pointed recommendation from us, would ensure it a large share of notice.—Times. Sir James Mackintosh postponed to this day the presentation of the petition of which he had given notice, from the city of L•'dinburgh. From the following account of it given by the Courant and Cukdonian Mercury of Monday last, an idea may be formed of the extent of the popularity of the measnra for the relief of-the Catholics in Scotland " CATHOLIC PETITIONS.-the, petitions from this city in favour of the measures of Government for a settlement of the Catholic Question, were forwarded by yesterday's mail to the Earl of Ilmani.NovoN, Lord MELVILLE, and Sir JAMES iNfAcKtrrosH. They were open for signature for only six days, and within that period they were signed by above 7,600 of the inhabitants. The list comprises, among others, six Peers, sons of Peers, or Privy Council lors, 23 Baronets or Knights of the Bath, 155 Gentlemen of considerable landed estates, the Principal and 16 Pro- Ocl-,sors of the University, 21 Bankers and principal officers of banks, 128 practising Advocates, 50 Divines of the establishment, of the Scottish Episcopal Church, and of the different denominations of Protestant Dissenters, and Licenstd Preachers at present in the city, 32 Admirals, Captains, and other officers of the Royal N;sy, six Gene-- rah Officers, 40 Colonels and other officers in the army, 11 Civil and Military Officers in the East India Com pany's service, 198 Physicians and Surgeons, 232 Writers to the Signet, 370 Solicitors, Accountants, Writers, and others connected with the law, 237 Merchants and Traders, and about 6,000 respectable Inhabitants, comprising a vast mjority of those engaged in education, the arta, and the general commerce of this great city." We have here arrayed on the side of Government nearly the whole educated population of the _icottish capital. The laity and clergy teem to vie with each other in endeavours to strengthen the bands of Government, at a time when faction is re curring to the most disgraceful means to thwart its well-meant exertions. To' show how cordially the clergy and laity unite on :his occasion, we may refer to an Edinburgh Almanack (we take that for 1822, the latest we have now beside us), in which the Clergy of the Established Church, Episcopal Church, Dissenting congregations of every deno mination, are stated at 64 (there can have been no great addition in seven years), while the number who have signed the petition is fifty ; that is, five-sixths of the whole. We dwell on this the more particularly, because the opponents of the measure in Parliament—Sir Robert Inglis among the rest— have been ringing the changes incessantly on peti tions from the Clergy of some places in the south west of Scotland, which, ever since the persecutions under the Stuarts, have been the abode of fanaticism and intolerance, and in which a strong feeling of hatted towards the Irish, from the distress expe rienced by the labouring classes in consequence of constant immigrations of labourers from Ireland, is mixed up with religious animosity. To those who might feel disposed to despair of the improvement of the people from the disgusting spectacles exhi bited in Kent and the West of England, we have to observe, that Scotland half a century ago was in a state of mental prostration, compared with which these —the most benighted and priest-ridden dis tricts of England—may be described as super-illu minated. The following account, with which we have been furnished by an intelligent Correspondent in Edinburgh, speaks volumes on this subject : " It is exactly half a century since Scotland was in a ferment on account of the intended repeal of an Act, passed in the reign of William and Mary, entitled An Act for preventing the growth of Popery (23d November, 1700.)' By the provisions of this Act, not only Jesuits, but Popish Priests, or trafficking Papists, were punishable with banishment and death ; and if any person be found in any meeting where there is either altar, mass-hook, or vestments, or Popish images, or other Popish trinkets, or instruments of superstition, and shall refuse to purge him self of Popery, it shall be a sufficient ground for the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council to banish him forth of the Realtne, under what certification they shall think fit, even to the pain of death.' By the same Act it is provided that the children of Popish parents shall be taken from them, and edwested by Protestant relations, or such per ms as his Majesty's Advorate shall appoint. Papists are also declared incapable to purchase or inherit property, and other severe penalties are inflicted on them. " In 1778, the greater part of these atrocious provisions were repealed, as far as regards England ; but when it was.proposed to repeal the same barbarous statute in re g rd- to Scotland, the General Assembly took the alarm.— Declarations, and Resolutions and Petitions against the Repeal, issued from every quarter of the country. Asso ciations—a kind of Brunswick Clubs, under the name of the Protestant Interest, were formed in different places, p trtictdarly in Glasgow and Edinburgh. " On the 2d of February, 1779, the Protestant inte. rest burnt and pillaged the Roman Catholic Chapel in Edinburgh, and plundered the library of Bishop Hays, and the old chapel at his house ; and in Glasgow the Pros testantanob, in their holy seal, broke into the shop of a Papist, and transferred its contents to their own orthodox bands—the Magistrates in both of these cities joining in the cry of No Popery. In 1780, a pretty thick Bvo. ♦olume was published under the title of ' Scotland's Opposition to the Popish BiLl,' being a collection of the Declarations, Resolutions, and Petitionapublished by the Counties, Presbyteries, Cor porations, &e., against the proposed repeal of the penal statutes affecting the Roman Catholics. " Among the various Protestant Corporations and So cieties, we find the Society of Discharged Soldiers, in Glasgow, resolving Popery a manner of worship directly repugnant to the second precept of the moral law, propa gated by carnal weapons instead of spiritual.' The So ciety of Porters,' in Edinburgh, wailing over the loss of their religion, 'take into their sarious consideration the alarming reports that the penal statutes against Papists are about to be repealed.' But the four old companies of Porters in Leith beat the piety of the Edinburgh Porters to sticks. ' We rejoice (say they) that we were bred and educated in the Protestant religion, and would wish to transmit the same inviolate to our posterity.' The Coal Hewers, in and about Carntine, stand aghast at the too true report of a Bill coming into Parliament for tolerating Popery in our land, a religion which ought to mike every true Protestant tremble at the very thought of it.' '4 The Society of Coblers in Edinburgh, consisting of 98 members, are duly convened to consider of the Bill ; and the Society of Chairmen and Bearers in Edinburgh ' think they would be deficient in duty to themselves, their country, their King, and to the Almighty himself (what a plagiarist is his Grace of Newcastle), were they not to declare their sentiments against the intended Repeal.' " All breathe the same orthodox spirit of hitred, dread, and exclusion. Tailors, Presbyteries, ilammermen, \Vaukers, Sons of St. Crispin, Synods, Plowmen, Cor diners, Clubs, and Kirk Sessions, all vie with the Pot terow Society' in their ' Detestation and abhorrence of Fail' Bill.' " Of the Declarations, Resolutions, &c. thus issued, the volume gives the following abstract : From Ecclesiastical Courts Counties Boroughs Towns Parishes Incorporations Private Societies . 24 .. 55 In all " The cause of toleration was ably advocated by the distinguished historian Robertson, and supported by other enlightened individuals ; and their numbers, as compared with the No-Popery men, was quite inconsiderable. " It is highly gratifying to see that the dense mass of ignorance, bigotry, and intolerance, which fifty years ago sePniA to oppress all ranks and societies of men in Scot land, is now so much dissipated. It has nearly cleared away from the higher and the middle ranks ; and it only requires a little more agitation, and a few years' expe rience, to dispel the absurd apprehensions and the gross prejudices which still unhappily infect the greater part of the lower and uninstructed classes."—Morning Chronicle. It is highly gratifying to us to find that those Prelates of the Church of England of whom it has most reason to be proud—the men who do not de rive their importance from their situation, but who owe their elevation to the desire felt in high places to strengthen the Establishment by an admixture of men distinguished for piety and splendid talents— are all ranging themselves on the side of the Admi nistration. We may conscie ourselves for the op position of such prosing Prelates as the Bishop of Bath and Wells, by the support of the Bishop of London, the two distinguished brothers who fill the Sees of Winchester and Chester, the Bishops of Norwich, Rochester, Landaff, &c. Last night, the Bishop of Winchester, on presenting a petition against concession to the Catholics, declared, that " he would take that opportunity of stating that he would support the measure, to which the petition referred, when it came before their Lordships. It would deserve the support of every individual, if it could be shown that it tended in any degree to pro mote the tranquillity of the country . . There was a wide difference between politi cal opinions and religious opinions. To the religious opinions of the Roman Catholics he was decidedly opposed ; but their political opinions were not liable to similar objection. If the measure, in settling this long-agitated question, was likely to weaken the advantages possessed by the Protestant Establish ment, he would not support it; but he looked on it as removing the obstacles to conformity in Ireland, and as likely to unite all classes in peace and con cord. Now for The first time would the Protestant Religion have fair ploy in that country." This is precisely the language which we anticipated from a Prelate of the disposition of the Bishop of Win chester. It is as natural that a Bishop who is well known to be distinguished for his zeal for the diffu sion of religious knowledge, and his vigilant atten tion to the state of his diocese, with respect to the means best calculated to promote the object, should confidently believe that the Protestant religion requir ed only fair play to be successful, and that the means hitherto pursued for aiding it have only impeded its progress, as that Prelates, with whom Religion and Church Revenues are sytionomous, and the welfare of the souls committed to their care is the very last consideration with them, should look on persecution as their only arm of defence. The Bishop of Win chester, like Dr. Chalmers, of Edinburgh, says, let us have no hostile feeling to close the hearts of the people against our exhortations—let us appear be fore them as friends who are eager to persuade, and not as foes who wish to punish those whom we dis dain to conciliate by reason, and we are confident of the victory. If the Protestant religion prevailed against the Catholic when power was arrayed on the side of the latter, while it has experienced a signal failure since it placed its reliance on the means which formerly were unable to secure Catholicism, this affords strong grounds for believing that the Pro testant cause had been injured by - the aid which it received from power.—lbid. We are much indebted, and so, we have no doubt, many of our readers feel, to a correspondent who, in Tuesday's paper, drew our attention and their's, to a project which is now going on, fcr raising the funds for making the approaches to the new London Bridge, by a tax on all coals which arrive in the river. There is, probably, nothing more objectionable in Parliamentary practice than the way in which Private Bills can be smuggled through both Houses. Indeed, how that Bill can be called a private one, the main object of which is to inflict a tax, is more than we can comprehend.— Surely it would redound to the honour of the House of Commons if some such rule as this were to be established,—that every Bill for raising money on the subject, in whatever shape, were considered a public Bill, and its contents made publicly known to all who are liable to be affected by it. How a tax is less a public one because it is raised at the instigation of the Corporation of London, instead of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we know not.— Had the latter proposed a tax on coals as part of his Ways and Means for paying the public creditor, we should have had the whole body of patriots open mouthed at such a project. The patriots of the Civic Body would have quite boiled over with wrath and indignation. The Common Council, that mirror of Parliaments, would have met, and a Common Hall would most likely have been called, where all the Civic froth would have been displayed in all its foam. Now, however, we have the Civic Body quietly working their own job, and silently doing that for themselves, and to save their own pockets, which would in the other case have ap peared to them, as in this it does to us, a project which Parliament ought not to be found to sanction. We are glad too to see that the subject has been brought before the House of Lords, and that the Duke of Wellington has consented to a full inquiry into it. As one of moment to the whole commu nity, we will return to it again, and nust that on this, as on other occasions, the Press will be of some use in protecting the public interests.-31orning Herald. The preparations for the concert at Guildhall for the Spanish and Italian refugees are proceeding on a grand scale. The orchestra is in considerable forwardness, and the organ (on the largest scale ever erected in the me tropolis) is now completing by Mr. GRAY. The band will consist of the elite of the late Opera-house orchestra, and that of the Philharmonic, and the chorus will be as power ful as at the concert last year. The selection was then confined to the works of HANDEL and HAYDN, and to two only of their orator. It will now be more varied, and will comprise the sacred compositions of MOZART, BEETHOVEN, and PAISIELLO, in addition to those of the first-mentioned masters- The " Recordare" from the " Requiem," the last chorus of the " Mount of Olives, " and the magnificent double chorus from HANDEL'S " Solomon, " will form part of the sacred selection. ITAYDN's " Cum sancto spiritu," horn his sth Mass, and PAISIELLO'S celebrated scene, " The fall of Zion," will be performed for the first time in this metropolis. The second act will consist of the most favourite airs and concerted pieces, principally from the Operas of " Tancredi," " Ric ciardo e Zoraide, " " " La Donna del Lago," " Die Zauberflote, " &c., supported by Madame PISARONI, Madame CARADORI, Madame DE \Two, Mademoiselle BLASIS, Signor DoszErmr, and Signor DE BEGNIS ; while the talents of Miss PATON, Mrs. W. KNYVETT, Miss WILKINSON, and Messrs. BRAHAM, W. KNYVETT, PHlL tars, and E. TAYLOR, will be engaged in the performance of the first !selection. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. 31ary Scully was again brought before the LORD MAY ox, on the charge of having deserted her child. Corporal Batson, of the 21 Coldstream Guards, at tendA, by the command of the Colonel at the Tower. Mary Scully having sworn that the corporal was father of the child, the corporrd declared that he had no reason to suppose the child was his, as several men in his regi ment spoke of her rather loosely. A woman, who stood near with the child, exhibited it to thooe in the office, and The LORD MAYOR said that the likeness between the corporal and the child was very striking. Mr. Hobler was of the same opinion. "Look at your poor babe, you brute," said he, " it must be your's—you have a strong ugly likeness of it."—(Laughter,) " If it's like me," said the corporal, turning his face away, " I can't help it; but I don't think it is. She was as well known to other men in the regiment as to me." Mary Scully—You lie, you blackguard. Nobody ever had any thing to do with me but yourself, and you know it welL Mr. Holder advised the woman not to use such harsh language. The mild course was the best way to get a hus band, after a poor girl had placed too great ctuifidence in a worthless fellow's honour. Mary Scully—How can I help it, your Honour ? He has ruined me for ever. He made all my friends turn their backs upon me, and now he calls me a prostitute, and denies his own child, which the Lord knows is his true born. lam no bad woman. I tried all I could to support his child, and now he wants to make me appear a common street-walker. The LORD MAvou asked the corporal whether he meant to make any allowance for the child ? The Corporal.—l can't give a halfpenny, my Lord. After p iping the Quar ter-mister for mess, I have just 9d. at the end of the week, and not a farthing more. Here there was a general examination of the child's fea tures. The likeness was perceptible to every eye. The women were all convinced that the corporal must be the father. The corporal cut rather a strange figure. He stood as firm and upright as if under the order of " atten tion," and neither looked right nor left while he and the child were undergoing comparison. The LORD 3lAvoa regretted that he could not compel the corporal to do justice to the girl, who did not appear to be by any means like the description of character she had been said to he. He could do nothing, as the child had been born in Ireland. The overseers of All-hallows Barking, to which parish the child had been sent by the authorities at the Tower, required that they should not be burdened with the child. The act for getting rid cf Irish paupers supplied the means by bundling over to Ireland all Irish paupers, however desolate and comfortless might be the chances in that country. The LORD MAyon said, that he should he obliged to send over AI try Scully and her child, if nothing could be done for them here. Mary Scully.—Whatever you do with me, your honour, he must take care of his child. He has disgraced and ruined me, and hasn't left me a friend in the world; and now that he has roe i❑ a strange country, he has said I was a common prostitute, and every thing that, was br.d. I won't have any of his breed. Let him support his own The Loan illnvoit thought it better to suspend the order of removal for some days, in order that something might if possible be done for the child. ifs Lordship asked whether the Foundling Hospital did not supply an asylum for such poor children. It was evident that the poor mother could not support it, nut having a farthing in the world. His Lordship was answered that children were not re ceived into the Foundling without introduction by people of distinction, and that it was believed that there were but very few poor foundlings under the protection of that charitable institution. The Loan MAvon sent to Sir William Curtis, who is an active member of the Institution, and whose disposi tion to render service to the friendless is well known, to learn whether the poor Irish child could be received into its bosom ? The answer given by Sir William was, that the regula tions prohibited the reception of the little candidate. Mary Scully was then ordered to be taken care of in the Compter for a few i:ays. As soon as the child was put into her arms, all the mother rushed into her heart, and she covered her infant with tears and caresses. The cor poral, of course, marched away. A young man, who has been for some time known to the police as rather what is called an awkward customer, was brought before the LORD MAyort, charged with having attempted to rob a boy who was carrying some goods in a basket. The officer stated, that the prisoner had first fixed his eye upon the boy at the Old Bailey, when the four wretched culprits were hanging on Tuesday morning. The pi isomer made several attempts without success, and flowed the boy to some distance, but finding that he stood no chance of getting booty, turned off to something of a more tangible description. The officer, however, thought it ton bad to allow a man to commit a robbery under such awful circumstances, and took him into custody. The Loan MAYOR asked the prisoner, who vehemently denied that he had attempted to commit any thing of the kind, what brought him to the execution? The prisoner —Vy, your worship, I vent for to make it be an example to myself—a bit of a caution, your worship, not to do nothink as was every bad. Mr. Bobler—And a pretty caution it has been to you. A fellow who steals at the foot of the gallows is sure to come to the gallows. The officers said the prisoner was seen at his tricks by several, who significantly pointed to their necks as a cau tion to him, but he would take no caution. Committed for a month as a rogue and vagabond. MARYLEBONE. The extraordinary death of a gentleman, who lived at No. 16, Great Castle-street, Regent-street, occupied a great deal of Mr. RARLINSON'S attention yesterday, and until a late hour last night. Elie name was Henry Neale. He was not in business, we believe, but his wife had something to do with the fashions, and she went off for Paris on Monday. Mr. Neale left his house at half-past nine on Tuesday night, and was brought borne at half-past one yesterday morning, by a soldier, in a state of intoxication. The soldier told the servant who opened the door that he found him "sprawling in the street," and be . directed him to walk home with him, and remain with him all night. The servant thought it strange, but did not interfere, and her master and the soldier went into the parlour together. Her master then ordered her to bring him the key of the w ine closet ; but before she could get back with it he broke open the closet-door, and took out two bottles, of which they partook. The soldier was sober when he entered the house, but after he had taken the wine he appeared to be intoxicated, and in that state he attempted to carry Mr. Neale to his bed, and they both fell down together. The servant then brought some bed•clotbes down, and after placing her master's head upon a pillow, and making him as comfortable as circumstances would admit, left the room with a determination to sit up.— She heard the snoring of a person as late as half-past five, and she believes it was her master.. She then fell asleep, and when she awoke, a little after six, she found her master was dead, and his body was covered with a sheet, which was not upon him when she left him ; and he had been robbed of his coat, waistcoat, hat, and stock, and a silver spoon was missing from the wine-closet. The soldier was gone, and the street-door was wide open. She immediately called up her fellow-servant, and sent for Dr. Dennis and Mr. Kirton, a surgeon, in High-street ; and, from the appearances which those gentlemen found upon the face of the deceased, there is strong reason to suspect that he was murdered. His nose was bent on one side, as if it had been sat upon ; and there were marks upon it, as if caused by the pressure of fingers. The maid-servant give a very minute description of the per.•on and dress of the soldier ; and Stowell, the officer, has discovered that such a man is absent from the 2d bat talion of Grenadier Gua'ds at the Portman barracks, and that he was seen yesterday morning in coloured clothes, like those of Mr. Neale.

LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 23. MARY GREEN V. MARTIN. Mr. Sergeant STORKS (with whom was Mr. PramE) stated the case for the plaintiff. The Jury had already heard that the plaintiff in this case sought compensation in damages at their hands, for one of the most serious injuries of which any person could complain in a Court of Justice, namely, the seduction of her daughter by the defendant. The ilaintiff was a widow of irreproachable character, and the young woman, Eliza, her daughter, who was the subject of the present action, was at this time 24 years of age. All the parties lived at March, in the Isle of Ely, where the husband of the plaintiff formerly carried on the business of a farmer till he died in 1819. In that year he died, leaving his widow the mother of right children, for whom she struggled to carry on the farm for some time. For five years she continued the business, when she fell into difficulties, and ultimately the farm was given up. With the exception of Eliza, he believed that all her children were married and settled in life. It was in 1821 that the defendant and the plaintiff's (laughter Eliza commenced their acquaintance ; he showed her great attentions, and it was for some time supposed that his views were of the most ho nourable nature. In 1824, his uncle died, leaving. him in possession of a fortune of 2001. a-year. - The intimacy continued, and shortly afterwiirds it was that the plaintiff gave up her farm. It was then thought by the plaintiff that her daughter Eliza might do something for her own subsistence ; the defendant was consulted, and at his suggestion she • was placed apprentice with a milliner. Still the ac quaintance went on, and it was naturally imagined that the defendant would have put into execution his promise of marriage ; but, instead of so doing, he took occasion to commit the greatest injury of which man could be guilty to an unprotected female —he seduced and deserted her. She proved to be pregnant, and then the defendant began to cool in his attention 5, and at length left her, without solace or support. Eliza Green examined—l am 24. My father lived at March, in this county, and died in 1819. After his death, the plaintiff, who is my mother, continued the farming business. In 1821 1 first be came acquainted with the defendant. I was then 16 or 17. He also lived at March, and " kept company with me." When he had continued his addresses for twelve months, I asked my mother if she was agreeable whether I might be with Martin, and she sad she had no objections, which I told the defendant. After that he continued to keep company with me, and told me he had a property that would amount to 2001. a year. He continued his attentions for six years, and down to about twelve months from this time. I have seven bro thers and sisters. When he ceased his coming, he assigned no reason. There had about fifteen months before that time been a very great intimacy between us. I had a child, hut only once. It was born on the 3d of January in the last year. The defendant was the father of it. I told him I expected the thing would happen, when I was about six weeks gone, and he promised to make an honest woman of me. When four months had elapsed I told the plaintiff, and at her • house I was confined. The child was a girl, and about a month after the birth he ceased to come. I was thirteen weeks confined to my bed, and come to me any more he never did. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Defendant visited at my mother's house for the first time in 1822. I constantly slept with my mother. The defendant came two or three times a week to see me. He is about a month younger than I am. He never passed the night with me ; the latest hour at night that he left me was eleven at night. I know Eliza Watson; she lived in the house she does for three years. She banished her husband away from her, by being caught in bed with another woman's husband. My ruination took place in February, 1827, in my mo ther's house. A4surgeon proved the birth of the child, which is still alive; and he :aid that the grandfather left de fendant a very pretty property." Mr. KELLY addressed the Jury for the defendant, after which the Jury found for the plaintiff—Da. mages, 70/. COE AND ANOTHER V. CLAY. Mr. GUNNING opened the pleadings. This was an action on a special agreement, by which the de fendant had agreed . to let to the plaintiffs a certain farm and premises, situate at Waterbeach, in this county, for seven years ; and, in case either party ran back from his bargain, he was to forfeit the sum of 101. The defendant had been requested to deliver possession of tlie' l larm to the plaintiffs, which he had refused to do; whereby an action had accrued to the latter to demand the ,10/. Mr. Sergeant STORKS stai - ed the case. In January, 1827, the plaintiffs, defendiiiis and other persons, met at the Sun public-house n the parish of which they had heard, and there the defendant and the plaintiffs entered into the agreement of which they had heard. The agreement, verbatim et literatim, is as follows : "An agreement be-twixt James Clay and Henry Dork inge and Jonathan Coe, of the parish of Waterbeach: the s e t! James Clay hath n-gread to let all his homestall (&c. describing it); it is ails° a-greael that all taxes to be pade by the tennants; and it is allso a-gresd that if any of the partys run back, under a forfeit of 10/., &c." • Now this, said the Learned Sergeant, was pre cisely what the defendant had done. He had " run back," and he ought to pay the " forfeit of 101.," which the Jury would make him do, when he had proved bow and under what circumstances the de fendant had " run back " from this very intelligible, though not very polished, agreement. Various witnesses yi . ere then called for the plain tiffs, who swore that the defendant had requested a man to draw up the above agreement, which was ac cordingly done in the presence of some guests as sembled at the Sun on the evening of the 16th of January, 1827. One of the curious features of this document was, that it was attested by three persons, neither of whom saw the parties sign it ; while, on the other hand, the witness who did see it executed was not one of the subscribing witnesses, he was the scholar who composed this elegant document. It seemed agreed on all hands that the defendant was no youth, but his age was as difficult to learn exactly as if he had been a lady of a certain age, and varied in the evidence of the witnesses from some where about 40" till " somewhere near 70." The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 10/. lIEREFORD, MARC!! 24. PAYNE V. MORGAN. Mr. CAMPBELL, in stating the case, said this was an action upon a bond, given by the defendant to se cure payment of a sum of money to the plaintiff, and the whole question would turn upon the non-appear ance of the subscribing witness, who it was impos sible now to produce. He had formerly been an at torney in considerable practice at Ross; but having got into difficulties he went to Boulogne, and from thence to Tunis, where he had since submitted to the rite of circumcision in order to become a Ma hometan. Mr. John Baylis knew Mr. Gibson. He left B R o ss in 1810,and he saw him four years ago at C r oss-examined by Mr. RICHARDS—HOW long w ill it take to return from Boulogne,? o uiogn e. Mr. CAMPBELL - I ' ll admit three hours. Mr. RICIIARDS—Thin is not sufficient to account for Mr. Gibson's absence. He was in Boulogne four years ago; but your Lordship and 1, who have been often in Boulogne— Mr. Justice PARK-:—I never was in Boulogne in all my life. I never was in France ; and, indeed, I think if one-half the fools who go there stayed away it would be better for them. Verdict for the plaintiff. NOTTINGHAM, MAReff 23. Lord Chief Justice Best is much better to-day, but was not sufficiently recovered to resume hisju dicial duties here. His Lordship, however, expects to be able to do so at Derby, where the commis sion will be opened to-morrow. In the mean time Mr. Serjeant ADAMS presided in the Crown Court. Richard Fowler, a blacksmith, aged 35, was in dieted for feloniously killing and slaying Samuel Rhodes, at the parish of Munsfield. The deceased, whose death was occasioned by a rupture of the bladder, stated, when conscious he was dying, that he hail had some words with the prisoner at a public house, upon which the latter invited him out of the house, and upon reaching the passage for that pur pose, he suddenly gave him a kick in the bottom of the belly. The deceased immediately felt a desire to pass water, but on attempting to do so failed, and experienced great pain. A surgeon, who was called on behalf of the prosecution, stated that a kick was likely to have ruptured the bladder, when it was partially distended, in consequence of the deceased having been drinking gin and water. Another surgeon, who was called for the defence, said that in his opinion the rupture had not been occasioned by a kick. The Jury, after a few moments' deliberation, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. John Ashwell was indicted for maliciously cutting and stabbing Francis Coup Lamb, with intent to kill or do him some grievous bodily harm.—The jury accquitt eel the prisoner. Joseph the younger, was indicted for feloniously killing an ewe sheep, at- the parish of Rempston, with intent to steal the same, and felo niously stealing a part of it, the property of John Hopkins. The charge was clearly proved against the prisoner. The prisoner had been more than once in prison before, on charges of poaching. The Learned SERGEANT ordered sentence of death to be recorded, and told him that if his life were spared, it would only be on condition of his being sent out of the country. A DEAD RABBIT, A RABBIT IN LAW. John Moore was indicted for stealing two rab bits. It appeared that the rabbits stolen were dead rabbits. Mr. WILLIAMS, on behalf of the prisoner, con tended that the indictment was not supported, and relied on the authority of a somewhat celebrated de cision of Mr. Justice Littledale, by which that learned Judge had ruled that an indictment for stealing a duck was not supported by proving that the prisoner had stolen a dead duck. That is, that a dead duck was not a duck. Mr. Serjeant ADA➢IS overruled the objections, after which the prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Justice BututouGH was occupied all day, trying three somewhat long causes, one of which, " Smith and another v. Smith," was an action of covenant on a mortgage-deed, to which the defence was, that the deed was void o❑ account of usury. The jury, which was special, found a verdict for the plaintiff, thereby negativing the usury, and also overturning a former verdict in the same case. The other two causes were actions of trespass against a clergyman, for sporting over grounds of the plain tiffs, after notice not to do so. It appeared thut these actions were the result of had feelings existing between the reverend defendant and some of his pa rishioners. In each case, the jury found for the plaintiff—Damages is.

The supply of farmers' Wheat to-day was only moderate, for which an advance of ls. per quarter was demanded; oar millers, • however, did not accede to this, and the market closed at last week's currency ; we had very few buyers from the interior, and the business passing in foreign Wheat was inconsiderable; how ever, on the sales made, last week's prices have been fully realised on all qualities, and the holders have been looking for bet ter prices under the impression that the advance in duties on prefer , ' implrtations must tend td that effect. Oats on the limited We i made, support the prices of last week; those under lock are alto gether without demand. Malting Barley maintains our quota tions, and in some instances fine English is rather dearer; grind ing qualities dull, but not lower. We cannot notice 'any 1m- provement either in value or demand for Peale or Beans. Rape seed stow sale at late prices. Linseed in more inquiry, but no amendment in Value. Wheat, Old 655.:111. --g.

This residence is most delightfully situated upon the south bank of Lochfaraline, within half an hour's drive of the celebrated Fall of Fyers. The House has been re cently fitted up and furnished. The Garden, surrounded by a superior wail, is well stocked with Fruit Trees. The Coach-houses and Stables are new. A more comfortable and at the same time a more romantic Highland residence is seldom to he met with. The MOOR GROUND, together with the FISHING LAKES and STREAMS, being in the immediate vicinity of the house, the sports of shooting and fishing can b.: enjoyed with more than usual facility. The place is 18 miles from the town of Inverness, with which there is easy communication by good roads, and the Caledonian Canal comes within a few miles of thepro perty. The mail and stage coaches ply regularly from Edinburgh to Inverness, occupying a day and a half in the journey, and a steam-boat leaves Leith every alternate Monday, and Glasgow almost daily for that town, so that the place is very accessible. A. Lease will be given for several years, if required ; and as the object of the Proprietor is to get a careful occupant of the House and Grounds rather than a high rent, such a Tenant will be dealt with upon liberal terms.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes known, that an apology is due to the mul titudinous applicants, who have lately had to wait for their commands being immediately attended to. The ex citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents, thoughout England, Leland, and Scotland, he flatters him self the above will be found a satisfactory reason for the delay they have recently complained of. A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the imput ities and chrystallizing foul water. The following will be sufficient for the present pur pose - Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the "Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses." And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor, "at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca, Containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of .uNDITIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM ritivms;" from which he con cludes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our cisterns." THE PORTABLE FILTERS, Possessing all the advantages of purifying and rendering chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following prices : 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day ..255. 3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto 6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto. 558. [2 Ditto 90 Ditto. 755. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and purify as much water in the course of the day as the largeht consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be sent to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, N.?. 69, Straw!, opposite the Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to he addressed.

A desirable Freehold Villa, adapted to a Family of great respectability, with extensive Pleasure-grounds and Lawns, Plantation Walks and Shrubberies, adorned with rare Plants, a splendid Orangery, Melon Ground, and a small Paddock, with immediate poss e ssio n . MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY the 9th of July, at Twelve, a FREEHOLD VILLA RESIDENCE, of very superior pretensions ; it is desirably situate at Park Hill, Clapham, possessing the rare combination of being very retired, and the no less useful advantage of a short and easy communication with the metropolis. The resi dence presents a superior structure, very much in contra distinction to all the modern buildings in this vicinity; it is most substantially erected, and the interior combines more of real comfort and good taste than any of its rival opponents; the principal rooms (fitted up in the best taste) are of excellent proportions, and participate in a great degree in the pleasing and interesting views of this delightful retreat ; the bed-chambers and secondary apart ments are most ample, and the domestic arrangement is so perfect as to leave nothing to be desired ; the out-offices are all of a corresponding order. The lawns, pleasure grounds, plantation and shrubbery walks, are Of character infinitely superior to any thing within the same distance of the metropolis, and in the space of nearly five acres of pleasure-grounds are combined more of tact and good taste than even the admired vicinage of Clapham can boast of ; the multitudinous assemblage of all that is rare and estim able in American and flowering shrubs will be found con gregated here, and so clever is the disposition of the grounds that they appear to have no termination. The splendid orangery, fifty feet long and twenty feet wide, urest be seen to be well appreciated ; it is not enough to sate that it cost 1,5001., but the judgment and taste that produced it should be seen, or a correct estimate cannot be formed. It is of modern gothic design, and proudly challeges a comparison with any thing of the same extent in England. The vinery, near a hundred feet, is in full bearing, and the property is all freehold, land •tax re• deemed, and the purchaser may be accommodated with the splendid furniture and effects (combining the same degree of taste with the mansion) at a fair valuation. It can only be seen with cards, from Twelve till Five, and particulars had at the Auction Mart ; the Plough, Clapham; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. VIS-A-VIS THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S RETREAT AT CHISWICK. Grove Park, with more than 100 Acres of rich Pasture, finely timbered, a Frontage of considerable extent, and the River Thames forming the opposite boundary. The Residence and Officcs adapted to a Person of Rank. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 23d of July, at Twelve o'clock, in Lot., AMost Desirable FREEHOLD PRO PERTY, alike eligible for a residence of import ance, or equally well adapted to a building speculation, and on a scale of first-rate consequence, with pro.pcctive 'ad vantages that very few would aspire to. It comprehends GROVE MANSION AND PARK, 'WITH ONE HUNDRED ACRES, FINELY WOODED, embosomed in its delightful domain, extensive walled gar dens, encompas.ed by lofty walls, and ornamented by a range of "gat suceesiiiiiilinfaes, 150 feet Lang; in the French garden is a conservatory of great extent, and the grounds are laid out in accordance with the best taste. THE PARK has long been proverbial for its delightful irregularity ; there is an infinite and refreshing variety of hill and dale, in such a limited boundary, with the paramount advantage of the River, which is seen in so many and varied situations, that to a man of rank, few, if any places in the vicinity of the Metropolis, afford the same exclusive means to recreate in retirement; and to those who would invest in perfect se curity this situation appears to stand alone, with a view to a safe and permanent building operation, having the rare advantage of being en face the Duke of Devonshire's splendid domain at Chiswick, and the extremity terminated by the pavilion and banqueting rooms, which approximate on the River Thames. Many very prominent advantages may he added; but it is believed enough has been suggested, or its dose alliance with the Horticultural Gardens might be in cluded. It can only be viewed by cards, and particulars had twenty-one days prior to the Sale, of Mr. Kay, Surveyor, Gower -street; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, of whom cards to view may he had. The THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN, a most valuable Theatrical Property, held by Lease, renewable for ever, at a Peppercorn Rent. _ _ MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce, that he is instructed to SELL by AUCTION, and peremptorily, on THURSDAY, the 13th of August, at the Auction Mart, London, a very eligible Pro- perty, with a view to a safe and permanent investment for capital, comprehending THE DUBLIN THEATRE ROYAL, with all its valuable machinery, scenery, wardrobes, and properties of every description, the whole of a character that will not yield to the METROPOLITAN THEATRES, and possessing an advantage even beyond its rival compeers iu England, inasmuch as it presents a splendid and elegant structure, PERFECTLY INSOLATED. Its exterior has long been the subject of unvarying ap probation, while the interior presents a model of perfection well worthy of imitation. The altitude of the principal building admits of the most effective scenic operations, faci litated by the application of the most approved mechanism. The stage is extensive, the auditory capacious, and the cor ridors and saloon splendid and commodious, the tout en setnble combining every thing which great taste and con summate skill could accomplish. Also, • THE VALUABLE PATENT, INSURING THE EX CLUSIVE RIGHT OF PERFORMING DRAMA TIC REPRESENTATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, and possess'ng a most important additional feature, that its performances are not subject to THE CONTROUL OF A LICENSER; and there is an express Act of Parliament of George 111. restricting any minor Theatre from acting Tragedy, Comedy, Opera, or Interlude, under a most severe penalty, and en forced by a very summary and not expensive process. This extensive Property stands upon nearly One Acre of Land, and in the best situation in Dublin, near to the College, and in the heart of the City. The grount rent is 5641. 45., and the taxes do not exceed 1001., so that this annual expenditure would scarcely exceed one great night's re ceipt ; and it will be observed ; as a most remarkable fact connected with theatrical history, that by means of the profit rental produced by other property included in the lease, IT IS ENTIRELY RENT FREE, It was completed in the year 1821, under the superintend ence of Mr. Beazeley, and the cost, under a very econo mical arrangement, exceeded 75,0001. THE PATENT FOR THIS THEATRE ROYAL is granted for 21 years, (the longest period that one can be given) and is renewable for ever, and consequently equal to a freehold tenure, unless forfeited by gross misconduct, It is submitted that enough has been stated to justify Mr. Robins in calling the special attention of those who are alive to the great profits attendant upon a theatrical pro perty to embark in a purchase, that, with moderate exertion, a talented man cannot fail to render highly productive. Printed particulars are preparing, and may be had 28 days prior to the sale, at Morrison's and the principal Hotels in Dublin and Cork ; the Waterloo, Liverpool ; and the best Hotels at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and York ; at the Offices of Messrs.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 6, at Twelve, by direction of the Trustees for Sale, .and unreservedly, A Valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, con sisting of a RESIDENCE OF MORE THAN ORDINARY PRETENSIONS, and always esteemed as one of the most desirable in the opulent and highly re spectable TOWN OF MARLBOROUGH. It is judiciously erected, a little removed from the bustle of the town. It was built about six years since, under the superintendence of a talented Architect, whose judg ment has been directed not only to its outward form, but in the internal arrangement has evinced a thorough know ledge of the essentials required by a family. It includes all the accommodation that may be included in the ex pressive word " eomfort," and the secondary and detached offices are of a suitable character, including a double coach house, stabling for five horses, &e. The abode is delight fully embosomed in its extended PLEASURE GROUNDS AND SHRUBBERIES. (a circumstanre somewhat remarkable in Marlborough), a productive Kitchen Garden, and TWO RICH PADDOCKS, of two acres each ; the whole forming a most delightful retreat, and an enviable residence for a professional man.

Welford, Solicitor, Marlborough ; the Bear, Devizes ; York House, Bath; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Office, London. THE WHITWELL ESTATE, IN YORKSHIRE, Always esteemed as one of the most elibible and compact in the county—it includes Nine Farms of One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-seven Acres of Uncommonly Fine Land—the Farm Houses of a Superior Class—the Entire Village of Whitwell—the Whole Lordship—and the Whitwell Inn and Posting-house. The Rental nearly 3,0001. a-year. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL lay AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the 13th of August, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, a highly important and singularly desirable FREEHOLD PROPERTY. It comprehends THE WHITWELL ESTATE, WITH THE WHOLE LORDSHIP AND ENTIRE VILLAGE, desirably situate twelve miles only from York, and on the direct road to SCARBOROUGH, (a fashionable and much-frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marlton and Whitby. The Estate embraces so many and such important qua lifications, that it will be impossible to compress them in the confined limits of an advertisement. Enough, gow ever, will be said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious and immediate attention of the great Capitalists, and more especially those whose property is in the Funds; fur it will wit be doubted that the exceedingly high price must ren der a re-action at no distant period quite certain, and the very cause which necessarily will diminish the one will in crease in the exact proportion the value of Land, and espe cially such an Estate as the one now presented, to which the most sceptical could not hazard an objection. It includes NINE FARMS CONTAINING 1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR, With Farm-Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge rivalry.—The tenantry are not merely respectable and of long standing, but contented and affluent. To demonstrate this assertion, it is only necessary to add, there is not, nor has there been, even in times (happily gone by) of Agri cultural distress, a solitary arrearsif Rent; to which may be added, it pussesses the great desideratum of being FREE FROM TYTHE, and EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. The Belidence is of an unobtrusive character, it pretends not to a c'-uparison with its mighty neighbouring compeer, the EARL OF CARLISLE'S AT CASTLE-HOWARD, although it does not yield to it in internal comfort.—From the Terrace walk the views are indescribably beautiful, and a Panorama is presented, equalling in its extent and varied scenery, any thing in this favoured country; the prescribed space forbids a lengthened detail. The magnifi cent Minster at York, the Ruins of Sheriff-Hutton and Crake Castle, are the most prominent. The more distant view extends far beyond Harrogate, and is terminated only by the range of Yorkshire Hills. Such is the faint and imperfect outline of the advantages exclusively belonging to the Whitwell Estate; and it may be observed, in con clusion, that it offers one of the most eligible and safe in vestments that has ever been offered to unreserved cow petition. The WHIT WELL INN and POSTING-HOUSE, A most comfortable abode, and the first stage from York to Scarborough, forms a part of this valuable Estate. It can be viewed until the sale, by application to Mr. Jacob Stubbs (one of the respectable tenants;) and particulars, with Lithographic plans annexed may be had at (one shilling each,) twenty-one days prior to the Sale, at Etridge's Hotel, and the Black Swan, York; the Bull Hotel, Scarborough ; the New Talbot, Mahon ; the Angel, Doncaster; the White Horse, Tadcaster ; the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; of Messrs. Capron, Rowley and Weld, solicitors, Saville-plate ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 4. (EXTRACTS PROM THE GERMAN JOURNALS.) Letters from Constantinople of the 11th of June :ay that it is expected that the Sultan will admit into his presence without the usual formalities the Ambassadors of France and England,as soon as they arrive in the capital, in order to converse personally with them, only through the medium of an inter preter. This supposition is founded on the circumstance that the Sultan is observed to free himself more and more from the yoke cf etiquette imposed upon his predecessors, On the 9th of June he unexpectedly paid a visit to the Baroness de Hubsch, mother of the Danish Ambassador, and her two daughters, at their country seat at Bujukdere. The Sultan arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon on horseback, with a very splendid retinue. Several Pachas, who formed part of it, waited three hours in the ante chamber, till the Sultan, who was introduced alone, ended his visit. Ile amused himself in making the young ladies play upon the pianoforte, and in talking with them about their drawings, which he examined with much attention and pleasure. In acknowledgment of their complaisance, he presented each of them, at parting, with some handfuls of ducats, which they did not dare to refuse, because this coin bears his cipher. The grand fete of the sacrifices was to be cele brated on the 13th under a magnificent tent set up for the purpose, in the meadow of Bujukdere, which is another innovation. When the Sultan now goes in state to the Mosque, he wears a red cap, with a plain gold border, a large cloak of very fine green tissue em broidered with gold on the collar, and red boots with gold spurs. (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday.) TOULON, JUNE 29.—A deplorable event has just taken place in this city. The crew of the Provence ship of the line has abandoned the ship, and.is in a state of mutiny. Some men belonging to the Con querant and other vessels have joined the mutineers. The whole forms a body of 500 or 600 men. On the refusal of the prefect, par interim, to discharge them, and though he persuaded them to wait for Admiral de Rigny, they proceeded to the gate of France, the guard of which they overpowered; some of the sailors and guards were wounded. The mutineers are now in the country. Several detach ments are gone to fetch them back. There are a thousand reports in circulation on the subject, but for fear of giving you false accounts, I abstain from communicating them. I can assure you, however, that politics have nothing to do in the matter. (From the Journal des Debats.) The Keeper of the Seals has recently thought proper to address a circular to all the Procureurs. GeLeral of the kingdom, calling upon then — ; employ their vigilance against the abuses of the press. Such a circular is within the competency - Of the Minister, and forms part of his moral commis sion; and we are therefore of opinion that there is no ground for remonstrance against the spirit by which it is dictated. Friends of the liberty of the press, by which every thing is improved, we always deplore the excesses which assume its name, and with which its enemies are so ready to reproach it. We regret to perceive that the abuse indisposes some wcll•disposed minds against the use; and though, in our opinion, public contempt punishes with suf ficient severity those who, for the sake of bringing themselves into notice, deal in scandal, we by no means object to the head of the law directing the judicial functionaries to watch over the exercise of the press, and to deliver over to the tribunals those who make it the instrument of licentiousness : in a word, to do their duty. Once more, we must say, that we have nothing to complain of as to what respects the question of legality in the following document. " PARIS, JUNE 9, 1829.—Monsieur le Procureur- General—When the liberty of the press was secured by the law of the 18th of July, 1828, my predeces sor recommended to yon to prosecute with a just firmness those writers who might endeavour to turn against public order a weapon which ought to be employed only in its defence. (Circular of the 30th ofJuly, 1828.) This vigilance is now more than ever necessary. Some journals openly instigate to disobedience of the laws, by attacking with unheard of violence the taxes established by law; impious and seditious pamphlets insult that which ought to be held in the highest respect ; and these criminal at tempts, hitherto happily powerless, may become dangerous if not promptly repressed. I pray you, therefore, Sir, to watch with the most scrupulous attention writings, periodical and otherwise, which are published in your jurisdiction, and to refer to the tribunals all those in which you perceive an offence provided against by the existing laws. I repeat, that it is necessary religiously to avoid disturbing, by hazardous prosecutions, the exercise of a right which our laws have wished to consecrate and protect ; but the abuse of this right is easily dis tinguished from its use, and, from whatever quarter it proceeds, you should demand its repression with out any reserve or weakness. True liberty has no thing to dread from prosecutions directed in this spirit ofjustice and preservation, for it has no enemy more dangerous than licentiousness; and, like all other benefits, it can only be guaranteed by the punishment of those who endeavour to disturb esta- i)lished order and the public peace. " I pray you, Sir, to furnish me without delay an account of the state of your jurisdiction under this point of view, to give me exact information of all the prosecutions which you may have instituted on this subject, and to supply, as heretofore, with ex tracts of all the judgments and decrees that may be made, both in the first instance and in appeal. " You will also be so good as to communicate this letter to your Deputies, and to notify its receipt to me. (Signed) " BOURDEAU." There is, we confess, in the sense of the under• lined passage, an extension which the Keeper of the Seals has not perhaps weighed, and which we must consider as a slip or error which might produce a result which was not certainly in the thought of a Minister who proceeded from the Constitutional ranks. In that passage the Journals who at tack the taxes are bitterly censured. Since when has it not been permitted to public Papers to discuss, to attack taxes—taxes which the Legislative Chamber dis cusses—attacks every day, not privately, but publicly, solemnly, to the knowledge and the eyes of all France ? What, is it to be opposed to law or liberty, to signalize as too burdensome or as dis proportioned to the resources of the country certain parts of the public revenue ? Is it to proceed to unheard-of violence to re-produce with less of eclat, with less of influence, the complaints which our Deputies address to our Government from the top of the Tribune ? But by this word attacks, does the Keeper of the Seals understand seditious incite ments not to pay taxes when they have been legally voted ? Then where are the attacks ? Who writes them ? Who prints them ? Why have not the Tri bunals already dealt with them ? In fine, it is time to renounce generalities. Purified from all after-thought in the enlightened mind of the Keeper of the Seals, they may not be without danger when they are de livered to the interpretations of secondary agents, who have not always, like himself, professed the same devotion to the liberties of the country. Under the old Admistration, we should have dreaded the eclat of a circular in which the Pro• cureurs-General were told of the activity and abuse of the press ; to some young and zealous heads it would have been a letter of flame which would have thrown them upon prosecutions for the sake of duty, and into the commission of arbitrary acts from a too jealous care of the law. At present one cannot, it appears to us, tear this bad effect from a circular in which liberty has a part, and in which wise and li beral ideas correct others that have the fault of not being sufficiently definite. The Procureura-General of the kingdom ought above all to remember this passage, in which their duty is traced out, and which disavows all officious vigilance arising from hostility to liberty—' I repeat that it is necessary religiously to avoid disturbing, by hazardous prosecutions, the exercise of a right which our laws have wished to consecrate and protect.' A prosecution without legitimate motive does more injury to authority than the impunity of a real offence. LOSS OF THE CARN BREA CASTLE Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, July 6. The Cara Brea Castle, Barber, went on shore at Sudbury, back of the Wight, on Sunday, at six o'clock p. m. The only boat that could get to her was one from the preventive station. at Freshwater gate, Lieutenant Dornford, who succeeded in land ing some of the female passengers that evening, but could not get to the ship again till the next morn ing, when, with the assistance of other boats, all the passengers were safely landed. She is full of water ; no lives lost. Part of the cargo, in a damaged state, has been carried to Portsmouth. Captain Barber and crew are still on board, with the hope of getting her off. The Admiral at Portsmouth sent a steamer to her assistance. " Portsmouth, July 6. " Yesterday morning the Corn Brea Castle, Capt. Barber, having embarked her passengers, got under weigh from Spithead, and proceeded on her voyage to the Cape and Calcutta. The pilot left her at the back of the Wight, about four o'clock in the after noon; after which, the wind freshening from the west about six, she embayed near the Chine, no considerable distance from the Needles, and in at tempting to go about, missed stays, and backed upon a rock, over which she was instantly hove by a heavy sea, and grounded upon a pretty fair bottom, or every person must have been lost. She is now full of water, and the passengers' condition is stated to be truly pitiable. John Lindegren, Esq. proceeded from hence to render all assistance. It has blown very hard all to-day, with frequent squalls, and ap prehensions are entertained that she will go to pieces if the gale continues till night. 'I he Government steamer, Lightning, has proceeded from hence to afford any assistance, and should the wind abate, more vessels will be sent; but at present nothing short of a steamer of the first order can get near the wreck. The passengers' baggage, it is stated, is nearly all lost or damaged. "The Pallas, Capt. Fitz-Clarence, with the Earl of Dalhousie, for London, is still wind-bound." It appears by another letter from Portsmouth, re ceived at Lloyd's, that after cutting away her main and mizen masts, the vessel drifted to within half a mile of the main head under Motterton. The crew and passengers were saved, but the baggage was lost, and there is little doubt that the vessel will be a complete wreck. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. , Extract of a letter from a passenger by the Care Brea Castle, for Calcutta, dated Newport, Isle of Wight, July 6 :—" You will have heard, before this reaches you, that the Carn Brca Castle suffered yesterday a total wreck off this island, at a place called Motterton. Providence, in the midst of our danger, sent a revenue cutter, commanded by a Lieutenant, which took off the ladies at eight o'clock. We (the gentlemen) weathered out the night as well as we could, expecting the ship to go to pieces, and lightened her by cutting away the masts, and throwing the guns overboard. At four this morning we were landed by the same revenue cutter, and found the ladies anxiously awaiting our arrival, and in tolerable spirits, considering the ex tent of our disaster. We had every attention and accommodation at a farm-house, and have just reached this place, with a little luggage, in three conveyances." The loss of the Carn Brea Castle, East India trader, has been a heavy Wow to the underwriters, but more particularly to some of the insurance offices, most of which have large sums on the vessel. Her total value, including ship and cargo, has been esti mated at 100,0001., but this is probably beyond the truth; nor has the whole value, we should imagine, been insured, as the character of the vessel stood high, and insurers generally would willingly there. fore bear a portion of their own risk. From the state of the weather this morning, it is feared that the vessel must go to pieces. THE ARMY. FIRST BATTALION OF TILE THIRD RECI3IENT OF FOOT GUARDS. The Ist Battalion of the Thirdßegiment of Foot Guards, was reviewed yesterday morning, in Hyde Park, by Field Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, the Colonel of the regiment. The Duke, accompanied by Lord Hill, and several Ge neral Officers, came upon the ground at nine o'clock, and was received with presented arms. His Royal Highness, attended by a large military cortege, advanced to the right of the line, rode down the front, passed round the rear, and subsequently took his station in front of the centre of the battalion. The battalion took close order, wheeled back into open column right in front, and marched past in slow and quick time. On its arrival on the original ground, the battalion pro ceeded to perform a variety of movements and manoeuvres with great celerity and accuracy; the marching in line, in column, and in echellon, was well executed; the wheeling was accurate; the formation of the squares, the re-forma tion into open columns, the counter-marching and the counter-movements were performed with great celerity and precision ; in short, the whole of the evolutions were most admirably executed. The battalion, after arriving on its original ground, took open order, and gave the general salute. The Duke then rode forward, and addressing Colonel Keate, who commanded, expressed himself highly pleased at the distinguished manner in which the nianceuvres were performed by the battalion. The Duke, attended by his staff, then left the ground, The battalion did not fire. LORD F. SOMERSET'S LIST. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, as Military Secretary to General Lord Hill, Commanding in Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few Generals, and about forty other Officers, trans acted military business with his Lordship. LIMERICK, JULY 4.—The result of the District Court Martial, sitting at the New Barracks for the trial of four soldiers of the garrison implicated with the military affray at Henry-street, is not generally known, and we, therefore, now publish the findings and sentences Privates Donlevy, Weldon, Smith, and Donelan, of the 36th Regiment, were respectively sentenced—the first to receive 500 lashes, the second 400 lashes, the third 200 lashes, and the fourth to be imprisoned three months in the County Gaol. Private Maguire, of the 60th Rifles, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Corporal punishment was inflicted last Thursday morning on Smith, Weldon, and Donlevy. It is to be hoped the example made of those men for a breach of military discipline, as soldiers, and violation of public decorum as citizens, for in both characters the law holds them, will be attended with salutary consequences throughout the country. It is rumoured that the 36th Regiment will move from this to Templemore, to replace the 624, who are to occupy the station of the 534, at Birr—the 53d are N arrive in garrison.

It would appear that the recent animadversions of the Press upon the discussions in the Chambers on the Budget had caused great annoyance to the Administration. Whether the present warn ing will have the desired effect remains to be seen. We have no room for comment. A partial mutiny appears to have broken out among the crew of a ship of the line at Toulon, but the cause of it has not transpired. We are hourly in expectation of the arrival of the Hamburgh steamer, with Papers up to Friday evening last, by which we shall no doubt have some interesting information from the Theatre of War. At present we have only received Hamburgh Papers to the Ist inst. which do not contai►► any information later than the last ac counts. The following are a few extracts : FROM THE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JUNE 9.—The di visions of troops, which are on their way from the interior of the Russian empire to Bessarabia, have received orders to make shorter daily marches. This measure is said to have been adopted out of consideration to the health of the soldiers, which suffers extremely by long marches in the hot weather that has now set in. It is probable, too, that the army in the field may not require any very large reinforce ments at present, as it will be chiefly engaged in besieging the fortresses on the Danube, and a superfluous number of troops would only increase the difficulty of maintaining them. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUICE B.—The Turkish fleet has again left the Bosphorus, in order to go and meet the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. The Russian prisoners are well treated. The Prince's Island is both a healthy and agreeable residence. The French and English Ambassa dors are not yet arrived, but are daily expected. M. de Royer, the new Prussian Ambassador, arrived yesterday. Though bread. is rather dearer than it was there is no scarcity, and it is of good quality. The facilities granted to trade have been attended with the good effect, that there is always a sufficiency of provisions, and that no ap prehensions are felt on this head. ST. PETERSBURGII, JUNE 17.—The exhibition now open, of the productions of the Russian manufactures, continues to attract a very great number of spectators, who cannot find terms to express their surprise at the improve ments that have been made in some branches. Some days ago, when the admission was by tickets only, there were 4,057 visitors; on three other days, when the admission was open to the public in general, the number of visitors was 5,922, 10,433, and 9,786.

Letters from Portsmouth state, that two boats had arrived there from the Carn-Brea Indiaman, with the remainder of the passengers, baggage, and live stock. There were little hopes enter tain2d of the vessel should the gale continue. Last night, however, the weather had consider ably moderated along the coast. The Lord Wellington transport has brought a mail from the Brazils, but not of so late a date as that previously received. A considerable amount in specie, from Valparaiso and ltio, has arrived by this vessel. Papers have been received from Canton to the 3d of February, at which time the Opium Market, which had been in a state of extreme depression, had suddenly improved. These Papers contain no other news. Seventeen of the prisoners who had been engaged in the mas sacre of the Navigator's crew, had been executed on the 30th of January. THE FUNDS.-(TIIISIDAY.)

TWO O'CLOCK. Although a sale of 50,0001. Consols took place, it has not hai the least effect on the market. Consols have con tinued the whole of the morning at 88i for the Account, and 88a (sellers) for money, with little doing. We have two arrivals this morning from Rio Janeiro, a mail which left on the 2d of May, and the Minerva, which sailed on the sth of May, both of which dates are not later than the List accounts, consequently they cannot bring any fresh news. We have also an arrival from Canton of the 28th of February, by the Orwell, but the letters have not as yet come to hand. We are still anxiously waiting the arrival of the Hai/burgh steamer. The dividends are now paying to the public, which may be the cause of throwing some spirit in the Consol market. Up to the present hour we have no continental in formation.

EX-PARTE BADCOCK IN THE MATTER OF GUNDRYS, A BANKRUPT. ASSIGNEES AND COMMISSIONER REMOVED. The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed in judgment of this matter to-day. In doing so lie said, I have looked over the affidavits, which cons;st of many thousands of folios, but it does not appear necessary from the view I take of this case to enter into the details of the facts. There is no principle more clearly established in this Court, and which has been more constantly acted upon and rigidly pursued, particu larly by my learned predecessor, than this, that the assignees of a bankrupt's estate are not to be allowed either directly or indirectly, to become the purchasers substantially of the property of the bankrupt. It does not signify in a case of this description, what may have been the motives which may have actuated the conduct of the assignee. If his motives had been of the most honourable description, still if he has become substantially a purchaser of the property of the bankrupt, such transactions cannot be sanctioned by this Court. I canna do better in a case of this nature than refer to the language of my Lord Eldon, in the case of ex:parte Bennet, in which he states this principle with great clearness and distinctness. (His Lordship read Lord Eldon's dicta.)-4 have read this passage from the judgment of Lord Eldon, in the case of ex-parte Bennett, as one of the late cases on this subject; but it is merely confirmatory of the language of that Learned Judge in a great variety of cases. The rule is founded on the principle laid down in the concluding passage I have stated, namely, that in a transaction of this kind, it is almost im possible to institute any inquiry calculated suf ficiently to sift the circumstances of each particular case ; therefore the Court has laid down, as a broad and general rule, never to be departed from, that however upright the transaction may be, the Court will not sanction a case in which the assignee or trustee has, through the medium of a sale, possessed himself of the property of the per,on whom he represents. As re gards this case, it appears that John Gundry, with respect to whose bankruptcy and whose interest the principal question arises, was the proprietor of several shares in a mine called Wheal Vor and Wheal Vreah, near the bo rough of Helston, in Cornwall, which he had purchased; that he fell into pecuniary embarrassments, which led to a bankruptcy, and that bankruptcy took place towards the close of 1820. One of the assignees was a Mr. Grylls, a solicitor, the other was a gentleman named Charles Reid. The assignees were chosen, I think, on the 15th of Feb., and three days after the choice of the assignees they re linquished the interest of the bankrupt in the mine to the other proprietors. They relinquished the interest of the bankrupt in the mine only, reserving to themselves, as was usual in cases of that description, the interest of the bankrupt in the debts, materials, and existing produce of the mine that was then upon the premises. Being afterwards, however, apprised, either from their own inquiries, or as they have stated by the advice of Counsel, that they were subjecting themselves to liability by the transaction, towards the close of April they re linquished all the interest of the bankrupt in the mine and in the materials, &c., to which I have adverted.— Great complaints have been made in the course of this inquiry with respect to that relinquishment; but I am of opinion, after looking at the affida vits attentively in respect to this, and after consider ing all the circumstances regarding the relinquishment, that if that relinquishment had stood alone and as an iso lated transaction, there would not have been a sufficient ground for the Court to interfere on account of it. After some further remarks, his Lordship went on to say, it is said no valuation was made before the relinquishment, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the property would have been available property to the estate of the bankrupt. I think, after looking at all the circum stances, I am justified in coming to this conclusion, that in consequence of the involved state of the mine, and existing affairs, this was not a property which at that moment could be considered as availahleto the estate of the bankrupt. But it appears to me that that is only a part of the case : Mr. Grylls, before he was chosen assignee, before he had any thing to do with the bankrupt's estate, from any circumstances that appear in these affidavits, had ample opportunities of knowing what the state of this mine was, and what were the prospects to be entertained of it. His Lordship, after alluding to a meeting of the new ad venturers, went on to say, on the 15th of February Mr. Grylls was chosen an assignee, and on the morning after a meeting of the adventurers took place, for the purpose of following up the former proposition. Certain resolutions were then entered, by which the creditors were to be called upon to take proceedings in the Vice Warden's Court for the purpose of establishing their debts, and then to have those transactions followed up through a sale in their Court. This took place on the 16th February, the very day after Mr. Grylls was chosen an assignee. Two days after wards Mr. G., in conjunction with Mr. Reid, relinquished all the interest in the mine. In five days subsequently another meeting was held between the old and new adven turers, at which they came to an arrangement between themselves as to the form in which the new adventurers should take their shares in the mine. Certain regulations were entered into, and it appears that Mr. Grylls was to take 3-58 ths of the mine : at a fnture meeting it was arranged that his share should be 11-58ths, and afterwards that his inte rest should be 11-54ths. In June those transactions were completed ; and it was agreed that 18,0001. should be paid for this interest in the mine, that being something more than the value of the materials and produce of the mine which was then either upon or below the surface, actually separated from the mine ; then that a decree should immediately be made in the Vice-Warden's Court, and the whole property conveyed to the, adventurers. All this took place between the creditors on the one side and the old and new adventurers on the other, which were mere matters of form. The decree in the Vice-Warden's Court was made, and Mr. Grylls took his 11-5441i5. I think, looking at this transaction as I have represented it, and all the circumstances connec'el with it,it must appear that previous ly to the relinquishment on the part of the assignees of the bankrupt's interest in the property, Mr. Grylls had con templated the forming of a new company, in which he was be substituted with the consent of the others, precisely in the situation of Gundry, and to become interested in the mine. Now it is impossible for me to look at that and not see that it amounts to a transfer for a valuable corgi_ deration through the medium of the Vice Wardrn's Court, and of the machinery to which I have ail- verted—a transfer of the interest of the bankrupt to Mr. Grylls and those persons who were associated with him ; not a transfer precisely of the same in terest that the bankrupt had, but substantially a transfer of his interest to Mr. orylls and the new adventurers. I , think, therefore, upon the principle on which the Court Las always acted, it is impossible I can sanction such a transaction ; but that I am bound to declare I consider Mr. Grylls as holding the interest he had taken as a trustee for the benefit of the creditors.-- Under all the circumstances, I regard this as a case in which the interest of Gundry, the bankrupt, in the mine was transferred for a valuable consideration to the assignee, and that therefore the assignee must be held accountable to the creditors. The order, then, to be made, must be to this effect :—An inquiry must be made for the purpose of ascertaining what the extent of shares in this mine was taken by Mr. Grylls ; what the extent of shares was taken by Mr. Plummer ; that both Mr. Grylls and Mr. Plummer must be considered as trustees for the whole body of the creditors, to the extent of those shares, —of course being entitled, under the cir cumstances, to credit for all the money they themselves may have expended. I think, too, according to the principle applying to the case, that Mr. Grylls can no longer act as assignee; nor can Mr. Charles Reid continue longer to act ; neither can Mr. Plummer, who has taken some of the shares, continue a commissioner. I think the costs of the petition should be paid by Grylls, Plummer, and Reid. After some observations from the bar upon the costs, the Court promised to look again to the affidavits, and then decide upon the costs of some of the other Commissioners, Messrs. Arundel, Rogers, and John Jebbutt or Vivian. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION..--MASSANO V. DAY AND ANOTHER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for an injunction to restrain the defendants from selling or in any way disposing of certain pictures. The plaintiff, Joseph Marie Massano, is a gentleman residing at Rome, and some time since de• posited with the defendant Day (proprietor of the Egyptian h ill, Piccadilly) for the purpose of exhibition, the celt.' brated pictures of the 1 ' Martyrdom of St. Peter," by Murillo ; " The Virgin and Infant," by Rubens ; " The Rape of the Sabines," by the same artist ; and also that of " Christ and St. Catherine," after the school of Titian ; but during the time they were supposed to be ill' the custody of Mr. Day, the plaintiff obtained a pur chaser, and gave an order upon the defendant to deliver them up. When the order was presented, it was dis covered that the pictures had been transferred to the other' defendant, Barnard, who is keeper of the Gallery of the British Institution, where they are now exhibiting with out the consent of the plaintiff. Upon application being made at that establishment, another refusal was met with, accompanied with an intimation from Mr. Barnard that it was not the intention of the managers to part with them before the end of the season. Under these cir cumstances, the plaintiff for the better protection of log property, was advised to make the present application. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—You are clearly entitled Mr. Solicitor to the relief prayed for.—lnjunction granted. This being the last day of Term, his Honour heard motions only, none of which up to the time our Reporter left, were of any public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. WILTON V. FAREBROTHER AND ANOTHER. The Court was occupied the whole morning with hear ing a motion in this case, which relates to the validity of the commission of bankruptcy issued against Messrs• Chambers and Sons, late bankers in Bond-street, aui which has been frequently before the public. The rule obtained for a new trial was discharged. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ASSAULT...--THE KING V. HUGHES AND OTHERS. Mr. BRODERICK moved the judgment of the Cour t against John Hughes, Robert Salmon, Richard Purser , and David Eagle, for a riotous assault (of which they had, been convicted) on Mary Lewis and Henry Lewis, seri. , in the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea. This case had bee" often before the public. The late complainant, H e nri Lewis, had been bailed by two of the defendants, who being fearful of his solvency, tried to take him in order to discharge themselves. They, however, el' fected a forcible entrance, aided by the other de' fendants, and a mob committed an assault en Mary Lewis, the complainant's wife, and lodged the defendant hims e lf i n a wa t c h-h ouse , when he caught co l d and died shortly after the conviction of the defendants, al his daughter and wife swore, through the ill treatmentn° the defendants. The defendants now swore in mitigation of punishment, that they had been convicted on'an indict' ment, and two actions had been cornmempd - against then" by which litigation they had been completely ruined. Lord TENTER DEN completely disapproved of harrasoulf defendants by bringing actions, and trying on indictment . for causes arising from the same transactions. The present def e ndant s h a d b een ru i ne d b y t h is mode 01, proceeding-. The Court were of opinion, considering th e / punishment which the defendants had already undergoo 4 that the justice of the case would be satisfied by the defeat.' ants being discharged, on paying a fine of Is. each. DUNN V. MURRAY AND OTHERS. In this case which was argued yesterday, the Cool held that the plaintiff might have recovered on the specia l count of the declaration in the former award, the 4 10 which he now sought to recover by a second action. Thll award was a reference of all matters in difference, s" this being a matter in difference under that award, W could not now sustain a second action, and the rule tb judgment be entered upon the second award, must t discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. THE PARISH OF ST • ANDREW'S AND JEFFREYS• WRIT OF PRIVILEGE. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE gave judgment in 01° case this morning. The Court were of opinion that the writ of privilege must issue, for there were per' sonal duties to be performed by the Clerk to the, Treasury, whi c h t oo k up a cons id era bl e port i on h` his time, and with which his duties as overseer would most materially interfere. It was alleged bi those who opposed the issuing of the writ of privi; lege, that the dutie. of overseer might be performed by deputy, and that, therefore, Mr. Jeffreys had 09 plea upon which to evade the acceptance of the office. This, however, was erroneous; for the Court much doubted whether by the statute of Elizabeth it was allowable to perform the duties of overseer by deputy. So strong an opinion did the Cour t entertain upon this head, that, as at present advised, if the:question were before them, they would soft that it could no t b e so p er f orme d. Th e ru l e mus t be absolute for the issue of the writ applied for bi Mr. Jeffreys. THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE.

ANTI -SLAVERY REPORTER. rt :h 1 Id TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 8151 ) - -In my family the Anti-Slavery Reporter has long been received as a publication entitled to implicit credence respecting all matters occurring in our Colonies, and of course occurring at many thousands of miles from the sphere of our own observation. The number for the last month has, however, staggered our credulity, by representing a circumstance which took place in London itself, in a mariner which is directly at variance with all that is stated in the daily papers, and also with the Parliamentary notices. It appears that a Mr. 0. C ave, who, I believe, is not one of the Select Vestry in Aldermanbury, undertook to bring forward some kind of motion or other about negro children, contrary to the mysterious policy of the Anti- S lavery Directors, Nlho wished that nothing should be done this year in Parliament to embarrass the present negociations for the admission of certain of their \Vhig friends into power, and who, from the same mysterious policy, had suddenly superseded their annual meeting after it was actually fixed for the 2d of May. It became necessary, therefore, I presume, to leave Mr. Cave and his motion to shift for themselves; and at the same time to make it appear as if his being unsupported were the result ofaceident, or better still, the fault of the unwelcome intruder himself, who dared to trespass on the Anti- Slavery preserves. For this or some equivalent rea eon the Anti-Slavery Reporter for June, contrives to excus e the absence of the veteran leaders of the Party when Mr. Cave made his motion on the evening of the 4th of June, by boldly and broadly stating, that " almost every individual who felt an interest in the 'question had withdrawn, not even dreaming that such a thing was within the verge of possibility!" They were " not even dreaming," it seems, that Mr. Cave was about to make such a 'notion ; and yet I see that it was for three succes sive days inserted in its proper place among the " i ce° of the House of Commons. The notice being gi ven on the evening of the Ist of June for 2d ;on 2d the m o ti on , I aga i n see, was post poned to the 3d; and I copy from the public news papers the following account of what occurred on the 3d : " Mr. 0. Cave rose for the purpose of bringing forward a proposition to declare that children born of slave parents inee his M a j esty ' s Colonies, after a certain period, should be fr. nt at Et " Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, recommended the Hon. Member to withdraw his motion under existing circumstances! " Mr. 0. Cave declared his determination to persevere. "The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, as on the suggestion of several Hon. Members, Mr. 0 . Cave agreed to postpone his motion till to-morrow (this day), with the understanding that it should Men positively come on."—Times, June 4. Here then is a notice of a motion for the 221 --on the 2d it is postponed to the 3d— and the attempt to bring it forward on that evening gives rise to a discussion between Mr. a Cave, Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, which ends in an express un gerstanding that this motion shall positively be made on the evening of the 4th; and yet, suppressing all these facts, the Anti-Slavery Reporter informs his readers that on the evening of the 4th almost all those who felt an interest in the question had with drawn, not even dreaming that such a thing as Mr. vCave's motion was within the verge of possibility !! any one b e li eve t h at b e f ore t h ose gent l emen cwithdrew, they did not l oo k roun d an d see M r. 'e in hi s p l ace, actually waiting to make this the tl,i'dreatned-of mot i on ? C an any one suppose, after un derstanding of the preceding evening, that they would not have taken the trouble to ask him wether f rom any cause he had changed his inten , jr they h a d even enterta i ne d a d ou b t on the 'h -d J e ct ? Is h possible that these gentlemen sho u ld a ye gone away, not even dreaming that Mr. Cave's meti mi was within the verge of possibility ? Is it possible that the Anti-Slavery Editor can think that th e y d;,l, this is • h c Yet this the impression that would ..are been conveyed to my mind by his ingenious Latatement, if I had possessed no other means of kn owledge besides the Anti-Slavery Reporter ; and With respect to West Indian affairs I do possess no Othe r means. This being the case, Sir, I wish to know what portion I am in future to believe of other statements in the same publication, connected with fa cts remote from my opportunities of exact infor mation, when I see how much is hazarded with re spect to occurrences at home ? With this before , M Y eyes, w h at am I i n future to believe of the " 4 . = althine ss and advantages of Sierra Leone ? All confi dence is at an end. Jul 1 p r ,..Y 2, 1829. AN ENQUIRER.

When last I had the pleasure of addressing you, I had then thought that Ireland was at rest, and her people united. Time, that never-failing oracle, has proved the contrary ; for Ireland is not yet tranquil, at least so far as regards this county. It never was, perhaps, in a worse state of irritation than at present. The people of Tipperary are of rather a warm temperament, and are consequently the more easily goaded on to violence. They will not stand harsh or ungovernable conduct, particularly at the hands of those who should be their protectors, and when once a thirst for revenge is aroused within them it ' is no easy matter to crush it. As a proof generally of the state of this county, I refer you to that watchful sentinel of the people's rights, the Tipperary Fr ee Press (a paper which is looked up to by all classes for its impartiality). Scarcely a day passes that our ears are not besieged with the recital of some horrible outrage or murder, in which the police bear a conspicuous part. The common phrase is, " Why, the police is going to the d—l with themselves." Human life at their hands is scarce worth a bauble. The very semblance of a fight at fair or market is considered by them, when they meet with any re sistance, a sufficient excuse to fire on an unarmed multitude, and should they, from excessive num bers, be forced to retreat, the moment they find themselves secure they discharge a volley from the windows of their barracks, and other safe places in which they take shelter. It cannot be denied that when one or more persons are shot, as is usual on such occasions, there is an investiga tion the day following, and it some times ends in the removing of mire party to another station, and that is considered as a sufficent recompence. What a recompence this is to a widow woman in Tippe rary, whose husband was shot the last fair day there ! He was a quarter of a mile away from the scene of action when he received the ball. He has left six children to deplore his loss. Upwards of twelve persons have lost their lives, and double that number have been wounded in this county alone during the last six weeks, and all this from the un discriminating conduct of the police. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE Yesterday Robert Jones, the young man who was on Saturday charged before the LORD MAYOR w►th having committed a. fraud upon the banking-house of Williams, Deacon, and Co., of Birchin-lane, to the amount of 1541., by filling up as a cheque a piece of paper which had the genuine signature of Mr. Charles Woodward, solicitor, of Broad-street, attached to it, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner had been remanded at his own request, and was attended by Mr. Hobler, jun., as his soli citor. One of the firm of Williams, Deacon, and Co., and Sir William Curtis, and Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers, were present. The LORD MAYOR asked whether any thing more was to be done than to sign the depositions Mr. Gates called upon Mr. Woodward to attend to the reading of the depositions, and asked that gentleman whether he recollected where he had been on the day the forged cheque was presented. We understood Mr. Woodward to say that he believed he was in Staffordshire. He recollected that he was in town on Monday. Mr. Oates asked whether he did not go to the banking-house on Monday. He replied in the affir mative, and said that his reason for so doing was to fetch away his book. Mr. Gates—Were cheques left open by you to be applied by the prisoner as he should think proper ? Mr. Woodward—l cannot say. Mr. Gates—Am I to understand distinctly from what you state, that cheques with your genuine sig nature were not authorized by you to be filled up by him ? Mr. Woodward—l have already stated before the Lord Mayor what was the fact. I cannot deviate from that statement. The LORD MAYoR- 7 -The depositions shall be read over to you, and you can suggest any alteration you may think necessary. Mr. Gates—The prisoner stands in so serious a situation, and my duty is such, that I feel it neces sary to press a question which I have asked before upon the witness. Did you or did you not authorize the prisoner to fill up this cheque ? Mr. Woodward —I have already given an answer to that question in my depositions. I must not deviate from that statement. Mr. Gates—You have this day raised a doubt which, upon the former examination, you did not at all allude to. I wish to have that doubt explained. The LORD MAYOR—Is there any part of your depositions given upon a former day, which you are disposed to retract upon more deliberation ? Mr. Hobler (the chief clerk) then read Mr. Woodward's depositions, and when he came to that part in which the deponent stated that he had never authorized the prisoner to fill up cheques, Mr. Wood ward desired that that averment should not remain. He had at the time, he said, a multiplicity of busi ness to attend to, and he could not precisely recol lect whether the prisoner had been authorized to fill up cheques by him at any time. Mr. Gates—lt appears from what you now have stated, that you intrusted the prisoner with your signature to blanks which he was at liberty to fill up. I ask you whether that (showing the cheque in question) is not one of those with which you so in trusted him ? Mr. Woodward appeared to hesitate about an an awe!.; and upon being again questioned, said that his Lordship must see the necessity of his observing great caution in a case of the kind. The LORD MAYOR.—Was the prisoner in the habit of filling up blank cheques ?—Mr. Woodward. —No. Mr. Hobler, jun.—Has he never filled up cheques to your signature ?—Mr. Woodward—l cannot say positively that he has not done so, and my reason for saying so is, that in consequence of the multi plicity of business to which I had to attend, at the period alluded to, from my connexion with the Gas Company, 1 was obliged to have him to act for me in my absence. I beg to say, that I wish it to be stated in my depositions, that the prisoner was merely in my occasional employment. Mr. Hobler (the Chief Clerk)—That is of no im portance in a case of this kind. It might if the charge happened to be one of misdemeanour. Mr. Woodward—l see it stated in the depositions that I " believe" the signature to be my hand-writ ing. Now I wish it to be stated that " I have no doubt whatever of it." I also see that I am made to say that the body of the cheque was in the hand writing of the prisoner. Now I wish the words "to the best of my belief" to be introduced here. It is also mentioned that the prisoner had no authority from me to fill up cheques. I wish the words to be that " he had not authority to use the said signature in a cheque." Mr. Woodward, in endeavouring to observe the caution whick he said was so necessary, became ex tremely unintelligible sometimes. Mr. Gates--The young man's situation is a very perilous one. You must know whether on the 3d of November, 1827, you did or did not authorize him to draw 1541. from Williams's bank for you ? Mr. Hobler, jun., said that Mr. Woodward had already given his evidence upon that point, and asked whether his Lordship considered that sufficient had been shown to justify a committal. The LORD MAYOR said there was quite enough, and committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. We understand that the prisoner's father was 40 years in the banking-house of Williams and Co., and was highly respected there. Letters from several gentlemen who attended the meeting at Ennis, of the " friends of Mr. VESEY FiTz- GERALD," have arrived in town this morning, announce that all intention of contesting the county of Clare with Mr. O'CONNELL hail been definitely abandoned. A baronet, largely connected with Clare, stated to the same effect, in the hall of the courts this day.—Dublin Even inu Post. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. Whitehall, July 3, 1829.

GRIFFITH AND OTHERS, OVERSEERS OF THE PARISH OF ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS. At one o'clock yesterday Mr. Fenn, accompanied by a number of the inhabitants of St. Martin's pa rish, appeared before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, Mr. MINSIIULL, and Mr. ROBINSON (a County Magis trate), that hour having been appointed for hearing an information which had been laid by Mr. Fenn against the Overseers of St. Martin's, under the 17th Geo. 11., cap. 38, which imposes a penalty of five pounds, and not less than twenty shillings, upon the Overseers, for refusing to show the accounts of the parish, in a ",just, true, and perfect state," to any inhabitant who is a payer of rates, who has tendered sixpence for viewing the same. Sir R. BIRNIE was about to leave the office, when the case was called on ; and Mr. Fenn said he hoped the worthy Magistrate, who was acquainted with some important circumstances connected with the subject, would be pleased to give his attendance as the question was one of great public importance Sir It. BIRNIE said it was Report Day, and he must go to Whitehall. Mr. MiNstium, asked if there were any person in attendance from St. Martin's parish ; ar►d no answer being made, the Magistrate observed, that if the Overseers did not attend, he should issue a second summons; and if they did not then appear, he would take the evidence ex-parte, and convict them in their absence. Mr. RAWLINS, the Vestry Clerk of the parish, soon afterwards entered the office, and stated that he aF peared for the Overseers. The information was read : it stated that Mr. Fenn was rated to the parish, and, that on the 25th of June last, he applied at the office of the Overseers to see tile last year's accounts of the ex penditure of the parish, and a book was handed to him containing various items, and amongst them was the sum of 241. paid to Mr. Cuff, of the Free masons' Tavern ; but no bill or voucher was shewn to him explaining the nature of the claim of Mr. Cuff; and, although he paid the sum of sixpence, as the Statute directs, the defendants refused to shew him a just, true, and perfect account of the expenditure of the parish, and he (Mr. Fenn), there fore, prayed that they might be convicted in the penalty of which the Act imposes. Mr. FENN was sworn, and deposed to the truth of the facts stated in the information, and he read the clause in the Act of Parliament upon which the in formation was laid, as follows : " That Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor shall yearly, and every year, within 14 days after other Overseers shall be nominated and ap pointed to succeed them, deliver to such succeeding Overseers a just, true, and perfect account in writ ing, fairly entered in a book, or books, to be kept for the purpose, signed by the said Churchwardens and Overseers, hereby directed to account as afore said, under their hands, of all sums of money by them received, or rated and assessed, and not re ceived; and also of all goods, chattels, stock, &c. that shall be in their hands, &c. arid of all moneys paid by such Churchwardens and Overseers, &c.; and the Churchwardens and Overseers are hereby required to permit any person► assessed, or liable to be assessed, to inspect the books of the parish at all seasonable times, on payment of sixpence, &c. And if any Overseer, &c. refuse to obey and perform the several orders and directions of this Act, or any of them, every such Overseer, &c. so offending, shall, for every such offence, &c. pay the sum of .51., and not less than 205., to be levied by distress on the offender's goods, by warrant of such Justices," &c. Mr.RAwuNs—Theinformation charges the Over seers with having refused to allow Mr. Fenn to in spect the parish books; now that is not true, for they we►e shewn to him. Mr. FENN----I have sworn that " a just, true, and perfect account" has not been shewn to me. I saw a book containing sums in the lump. Mr. MINSHULL—Are the parish books here, Mr. Rawlins ? Mr. RAWLINS—No, they are not; I did not think it necessary to bring them. Mr. MINSHULL—I see no reason why they should not have been produced. Mr. RAWLINS—I am not bound to produce them ; and my answer to the present case is, that the accounts which are the subject of the informa tion before you have been audited, and legally passed by two Magistrates in Petty Sessions ; and that you have now Be jurisdiction in an inquiry relating to these accounts. Mr. MlNsturLt.—l have a jurisdiction which is given by the Statute, which says that the Overseers shall be liable to a penalty if they do not exhibit the accounts to a payer of poor's rates on his tendering the sum of sixpence; and the fact of the accounts having been audited or passed does not affect the provisions of the Statute in any way whatever. Mr. RAwuNs—l say that after the accounts have been passed by the Justices in Session, you have no jurisdiction over them. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—The charge here is for not producing the accounts to a Payer of Rates; and the amount of the items we have nothing to do with. Mr. FENN again called the attention of the Ma gistrates to the Act of Parliament, which said nothing about the Overseers being exempted from exhibiting the accounts after they were audited and passed. There were many items in the Overseers' Accounts which were objectionable; in addition to the bill of Mr. Cuff's, there was the sum of thirty pounds charged for beating the boundaries of the parish on Holy Thtirsday; and, upon inquiry, he found that the stun was actually paid for a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. Mr. MINSHULL said that the Overseers ought to have produced the books to Mr. Fenn. Mr. RAWLINS said that they were shown to him. Mr. MINSHULL said that the item of 211., paid to Mr. Cuff, was not, in his.judgment, " a full, true, and perfect account of the expenditure;" it should have been added, " as per bill," and then Mr. Fenn might have referred to the invoice, and he would have had no cause of complaint. Mr. RAWLINS—The accounts are kept in the same way as they were when Mr. Fenn was Over. seer. Mr. MINSHULL—How can the parishioners know what the lumping item of Cuff's charge is for, un less they see a bill ? Mr. R SWLINs—Mr. Ferri knows very well what the item is for; the same ch n•ge was made when he was in office. Mr. MINSHULL—If you had produced the invoice to Mr. Fenn, there would have been no ground for this information ; as it is, I say you have not sheen him a full and perfect account of the expenditure. Mr. RAWLINS—I say we are not bound to spew the invoice. Mr. MeNsitueL—l say you are bound to spew a full and fair account of your expenditure, and the bills are most material parts of the parish accounts. Mr. RawuNs—l say we are not bound to show the vouchers. Mr. Mussituu,—But you are ; and if you do not, I shall inflict the penalty. If the accounts are kept fairly, what reason is there to withhold them from the inspection of the inhabitants ? Mr.RAWIANS—We shall not produce the vouchers. Mr. MINSHULL--Then I shall fine the Overseers the sum of 51., and they may appeal against my con viction. Mr. RAWLINS—I again deny that you have juris diction ; and if you convict and proceed to levy the penalty by distress, you will be liable to an action. Mr. MissusTeL—l certainly shall convict if one of my brother magistrates joins with me, it being ne cessary that two magistrates should decide upon a conviction. Mr. ROBINSON was of opinion, that, after the ac counts had been audited and passed by Magistrates in Petty Session, no information could be supported relating to such accounts. Mr. MINSHULL declared again, that the auditing and passing of the accounts had nothing to do with the charge imputed to the Overseers by the present information. Mr. ROBINSON was of opinion, that a full and true account had not been shown to Mr. Fenn ; but he felt diffident in entertaining an information touching accounts which had been sworn to by the overseers, and had been passed by the Magistrates. Mr. MiNsituLL—l only look at the fact of the books containing sums in the gross, and no vouchers having been produced. Mr. FENN—I beg leave to explain a circumstance of some importance. Before the accounts were audited and passed, I applied to see the vouchers, and the Magistrates said that I should see them. I was told that I should know when the Petty Ses sions would be held to pass the accounts. I ap plied repeatedly to see the vouchers, and on the third of July I was told that the accounts had been passed in Petty Sessions on the second. I asked Mr. Rawlins why he had not given me previous in formation when the Sessions was to be holden, and he replied that he had received no instructions from the Board on the subject. You see there was a determination to pass the accounts in private, or I should have received previous notice of the Ses sions; and I was the more surprised, because Sir R. Birnie shortly before had, in his evidence given before the Committee of the House of Commons, declared that he never would pass parish accounts. until he had the vouchers produced. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that he had asserted that he would not pass the accounts, unless they were previously examined; and before the accounts in question were passed, they were examined by three parishioners, who had compared them with the vouchers. Mr. FENN—The accounts ►were examined, no doubt, by the parties against whom I complain. Mr. RAWLINS—NO, they were not. Mr. FENN—Pray who did examine them ? Mr. RAWLINS—(No reply.) Sir R. BIRNIE— Why do you not say who were the three persons who examined the accounts before I passed them ? I say that each bill was ticked off item by item, and why do you not say who were the three parishioners? Mr. RAWLINS—I have no objection, if you wish it. Sir R. BIRNIE—I wish •it ! I have no wish on the subject. Mr. RAWLINS—AII I have to say is, the accounts are kept in the same manner as when Mr. Fenn was overseer. Mr. NllNsHum..—lf the accounts were then kept improperly, that does not make it right now. Sir R. BIRNIE—No, two blacks do not make a white. Mr. MINSHULL—WiII you produce the books and voucher ? Mr. RAWLINS—I certainly will not. Mr. MINSHULL—YOU have appeared for the over seers; and do you mean to take advantage of their not having appeared in person ? Mr. RAWLINS—I shall take any advantage, either legal or technical, in a case of this description. Mr. MINSHULL—Then I shall issue another sum mons against the overseers; and if they do not ap pear in person to-morrow, I shall hear the evidence, and decide in their absence. Mr. RAWLINS—Why does not Mr. Fenn take his remedy by appealing against the order of the Magistrates ? If they have passed inaccurate or im proper accounts, he may have good reason for ap pealing to the Quarter Sessions. Mr. MINSHULL—He has good reason, I think, in what he has done, and you are bound to show him the vouchers as part of the parish accounts. Mr. RomNsoN--Where are the accounts ? Mr. RAWLINS—In my possession. They were placed !here by order of the late Overseers. Mr. MINSHULL—You do not appear to be of opi nion that this Act of Parliament ought to be put in force; and I, who know nothing of your parish quarrels, feel myself called upon to enforce its pro visions when I see they have been violated. A Gentleman stated that a number of the parishioners of St. Martin's were in attendance, who ►were extremely anxious as to the result of this in quiry ; and the determination of the Overseers not to allow the parishioners an inspection of the ac counts was calculated to excite suspicions that there was some very extraordinary reason for it. Mr. MINSHULL—What may be the cause of with holding the documents I know not ; I, however, am of opinion they are bound to show them to the parishioners, and I have directed another sum mons to be issued against the Overseers to attend to-morrow.

AN UNPLEASANT CUSTOMER.—Last week a person having the appearance of a gentleman, but who evi dently proved himself the reverse, called at the Old Hart's Horns Inn, Barnet, and ordered dinner, the best the host could afford, which was of course furnished him. After dinner, he regaled himself with several glasses of wine, brandy and water, &c p•and inquired if he could be accom— modated with a bed ; on being informed in the affirmative, the landlord informed his guest, previous to going to bed, that it would be necessary for him to pay the expences already incurred. He treated the "request with indiffer ence, but the landlord, as a matter of course, persevered in his application, but was informed by his liberal friend, that he had no money, but would remit it to him when he reached Edinburgh, whither he was bound. This not sa satisfying the host, he had his friend locked up for the night, and appeared next morning before the Barnet magistrates, who decided in favour of the traveller, intimating to the landlord that he could not detain the man a moment under such circumstances. Really this requires to be remeided. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have given it as our decided opinion, that emancipation has accomplished the full measure of good which it was reasonable to expect from it in so shalt a time,—namely, that it has sub dued every particle of disaffection Which existed in the minds of the Catholics to wards the Go vernment ; and therel'ore, may' whatever coarse and barbarous habits m prevail amongst the people in their treatment of eh other, or of ob noxious individuals, the State has nothing to . fear from them. The multitud e ' are not now kept quiet at the word of command they no longer look upon self-restraint and disCiplined obedience as means of baffling the constitits.ted authorities, and when a foreign enemy of Fn land shall invite them, of eventually breaking off all connexion with her. The Catholic peasantry are now dismissed from school, and the natural tendencies of an elastic, buoyant, reckless, and impetuous character, have burst out with great force because of the restraints which had for two or three years past been galling them. If Ns change has proceeded from the Catholic Relief Bill, every man who knows Ireland will admit. it to be a blessed change, inasmuch as the great night mare of disaffection is at once removed, and minor evils only remain to be progressively encountered. But such remarks are no further applicable than to the Catholics of Ireland. If the Catholics have been won over to the State, and even their resentments against the old Orange system been in a great degree obliterated or forgotten, the contrary spirit prevails, we regret to my, amongst the partisans of that same old faction, who seem now to have laid aside all sense of decency to wards the King's Government, and all conceal ment or qualification of their abhorrence for its Catholic subjects. If disturbances arise hence forth in Ireland, they will be the work of Orange - - men. That infatuated or wicked body are every where preparing to celebrate by the grossest in sults, if not positive outrages upon their Catholic fellow-citizens, the approaching 12tii of July. It is not six years since the Orange processions, shoutings, firings, and flags of defiance to the Catholics, were pronounced to be unlawful, wider Lord kVellesley s Government ; nor is it mots than five years since all such demonstrations were suppressed by authority, and for the time put an end to. It appears that they are on the point of breaking out again. The accounts in our iristi letter of yesterday were of the most alarming nature. " Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, and Mona. ghan," says our correspondent, " are sounding the notes of preparation. In Fermanagh, the means of actual war are collecting." The Orange " Gentlemen" of that county,—those who ought to be pledges to the kingdom for the maintenance of internal peace,—were holding Orange Lodges, resolving that the Orangemen of Fermanagh should continue to assemble, for the purpose of protecting themselves ".against the innovations of Popery,"—in plain English, for the purpose of resisting the law of Catholic relief. The same incendiaries, if not traitors, resolved to place no further confidence in the King's Go vernment. A clergyman of the faction declared from the pulpit, that " all ties between thg . Sovereign and himself were dissolved"—tha4 " he owed him no further allegiance, and that no Protestant was bound to pay him any ! That the time was coming when it might be necessary to vindicate their rights," &c. If the Catholics be provoked by such fury as this—if Ireland be involved by it in a civil war—if the throats of Protestant and Catholic be cut in consequence, whose crime is it ? Is it the natural or legitimate effect of a law for the esta blishment of religious liberty ? or of a villainous faction, that feels the name of liberty an offence to its own lust of arbitrary power ? We recom mend to attention the spirited and patriotic pro ceedings of the independent interest of Cork, where the election expences of a liberal candidate are to be supported by a public contribution.— Times. Several of our Contemporaries are at this mo ment engaged in discussing the merits of the controversy between the Edinburgh and Ifiest minster Reviews, between the Utilitarians and Anti-Utilitarians. The Westminster Review at its outset assailed the Edinburgh Review for its want of principle. The Edinburgh Review, in its two last numbers, has retaliated by a fero cious onset on Mr. Bentham and Mr. Mill, and the principles which they have advocated. Others have been drawn to take a part in the warfare, as is usual on such occasions ; this will in the end be productive of good. The Scotsman of Satur day last observes, with regard to this contro versy " The Edinburgh Review has been of infinite service as as timulus to thought. The writers were equally bold and felicitous. They were brilliant also; although in this respect Candour requires us to say, that they seemed more anxious to dazzle, or even to blight, with something like meteoric splen dour, than to illuminate a new path with the mild and steady radiance of a fixed star. It must be granted that, at the outset, the whole field of knowledge seemed open to them. If not the master spirits themselves, they were in the secrets of the master-spirits of the age. But they did not keep pace with the progress which they stimulated others to make. In the philosophy of mind, they actually remained at rest, while the world around them was advancing. They have never reviewed, and, in no instance, have they shown that they had appreciated the works of Dr. Thomas Brown. In physio logy they have been equally stationary. The minor branches of literature have been habitually ne glected. And, with the exception of some ques t►ons which have been attempted to be made practical ones by a statesman, connected with this work, to whom his country is greatly indebted, the Edinburgh Review has committed itself with none of the great interests of the race. We can accou►►t for much of this from the circumstance, that the con • ductor and principal writers had all embarked in professional or political pursuits, and connected themselves with existing interests and parties; but, if it be wished that the Journal should start off afresh, or even keep its ground, there is a necessity for its beginning forthwith to deal with much that has been neglected; and to do this upon large, in dependent, and comprehensive principles. " A remarkable instance of the faulty spirit in which this work has been too often conducted, is to be found in the seventh article of the last (97th) number, which, under the name of a Review of Mill's Essays on Government, purports to be an examina tion—au exposure - or extinguisher—of Utilitarian Logic and Politics. It is not by the late Editor. It is trenchant—full of smart things, and well turned paragraphs. It is clever ; and it is able, as far as any thing can be so, which is without any leading or guiding principle. The writer has obviously no re verence for age and talent united—for one who, as soon as he could think, committed himself, heart and soul, with the great interests of his race, and to the promotion of which, on views honestly taken, and supported with high talent, he has devoted a long life. - We need not say, we allude •o Jeremy Bentham. There is a radical defect of moral feeling in the manner in which Mr. Bentham is treated here, and in his former article on Judicial Evidence, by this anti-utilitarian. There is another radical defect which pervades the whole of his article. lie cOll tends truly that man is not actuated exclusitely by self-interest; that he has ' tastes and propensities'—

ostentation and affectiou'—' a desire of the good opinion of others, a sense of shame, a dread of the hatred and contempt of the public;'—but he lessens the value of these by suggesting, that our regard for the sentiments of our fellow -creatures springs,' not from benevolence, but ' by association, from a sense of their ability to hurt or to serve us' —or, in other words, from what he contends against throughout as the adversary of Mr. Mill, pure se!fishness." The Examiner, two late numbers, entered warmly into this r. , ontroversy ; and the Standard of last night allows on the heels of the Es- winner " The. subject and state of the controversy to whir,:.we allude (say s our E ven i ng C ontemporary) . V he seen in our extract from the Examiner; it is bot, however, our purpose to meditate between the polemics, but to point to the obvious conclusion from their schism, which, if we mistake not, shows both parties in opposition to themselves as well as with one another. Both are indeed wrong, but with this difference :—the Westminster, or Utilitarian school, has been led astray by a primary error, and has been carried to extreme mistake by the zealous pursuit of truth in a wrong path; the Edinburgh, or Pyrrhonist school, on the other hand, has gone wron,,T, because it never cared for truth, and because the guides which it has implicitly followed—vanity, ambition, and self-interest in the lowest shape— have an intuitive bias towards falsehood. As the oracle of this school, the Edinburgh Review, is now has tening to oblivion, let us, before it is altogether for gotten, illustrate the inane doctrine, if we may call it doctrine, of that school, by one brief question.-- Opposed as the Review was to every existing insti tution in government, to every received doctrine in morals and religion, to all the acknowledged systems in the philosophy of mind and of matter, did it ever propose any substitute for any of the objects of its flippant censures ? No, it never did. The maxim with which the reviewer set out was, that the world always give credit for as much talent as is boldly pretended e and with this maxim—supported in a barbarous jejune style, measured and squared by the callipers and tenants of Hugh Blair, the poorest of all critics—they, the Reviewers, by the mere force of impertinence and sneering, contrived to disgust the whole body of fools in the nation, who almost always are the majority, with all that their wiser fathers loved, and all that had served as the means Gf their own happiness. " It was, indeed, a hungry but an ambitious en tertainment—the feast of some very notable pauper, where the absence of substance was supplied by management, and where the guests were reconciled to their penurious and distasteful fare, by bold and profuse sneering at the uncouth style in which the more solid and salutary viands of the 'Squire and Parson were served up. But this could not last for ever, and the Edinburgh Review, after living to do infinite mischief, died some ten years ago—died, we mean, to all purposes of influence; for now, though it is still printed, as we learn from the Westminster Review and Examiner, it is as little read as the Right Hon. Wilmot Horton's last Emigration pamphlet." The Standard professes to be an honest in quirer after the truth, and to admire the writers of the Examiner and the Westminster, be cause they also arc honest inquirers after the truth. Now with this earnest desire to discover the truth to which our Cotemporary lays claims, it does astonish us, we own, that he should have been so unsuccessful in his search as his repre sentation respecting the Edinburgh Review tin plies. Whatever the merits or demerits of that Review, there can be no question that it is ex tensively read and possesses extensive influence. If our Contemporary only discovered from this controversy that it still continues to be printed, he must have optics peculiar to himself. The rest of the article of our Cotemporary is exceed ingly curious. " The Westminster Review, with incomparably more talent than its predecessor, is unfortunately as much estranged from established principles in ethics and in state policy as the Edinburgh Review itself ; but it is honest, which the other never was, and its honesty gives the votary of true philosophy an ad vantage over it as great as that which, through their total want of talent, he enjoyed before over the Edinbusghers. " The Westminster proposes a system of moral and of state policy, which the Edinburgh never did. The scope and aim of this is comprised in the sen tence, The greatest happiness to the greatest num ber;'—rightly understood, a noble object, and worthy of all acceptation. But, as the Westminster School urlderstands and treats it, alike unworthy and impracticable. " If we do not misunderstand the doctrines of the Westminster, they would treat man as a mere mortal, something little, if at all, above the animated machines of the Cartesians. The happiness which they would provide for him they regard as referring to a mere mortal state—the means by which they would effect that happiness as having relation to mere mortal sanctions. But man is not a mere mortal ; he is designed for another state of exist ence. And if there be any proposition proved more certainly than another by the whole induction of hu man experience, it is that no discipline can fit a man for a temporal state of existence but that which will also fit him for eternity. And this is a proposition which might have been arrived at a priori, and which, indeed, was arrived at by wise Pagans— Cicero, for example, because no worldly sanctions can be proposed which may not, in many cases, be outweighed by worldly temptations. " The consequences into which the Utilitarians have been drawn by overlooking this eternal truth, some too disgusting, some too horrible to b e more particularly allud e to, present a striking reductio ad impossibile' in support of the wisdom of the Gospel dispensation. And here indeed is the tri umph of true philosophy—that is, of true religion. Whenever men set up the conclusions of mere human wisdom against the precepts of the Gospel, or against the legitimate deductions from those pre cept, they are sure to plunge into errors., which the voice of nature herself indignantly condemns. Nor is this to be considered as limiting the will of man, as to the form of government under which, or the frame of society within which he would live. No; the Gospel rule is not so strictly drawn, that an abundant choice is not open to him who will love mercy and walk humbly with his God. We are perhaps writing upon this subject out of season ; but we can assure our readers, among whom we hope we shall have the writers of the Examiner and the Westminster, that we do not write angrily. They are, like ourselves, honest inquirers after the truth; and against which we can never feel resentment; nor of them can we ever despair that they will come into the right path at last. In truth, we think we see, in the schism of which they are the leaders, something like that controversial spirit of the old philosophers, which opened in no small degree the way for the light of truth, and therefore to our re spect we almost add gratitude. And with this ac knowledgment we would take our leave, but we wish to subjoin compendiously the result of all our in quiries and considerations upon this subject That religion is not merely an essential ingredient in all schemes of civil polity, but the one essential element out of which such schemes, to be effectual, must be wrought; and that not merely projects against reli gion, like that of Mr. Malthus and some of those of the Utilitarians, but even those without religion, like Messrs. Peels and Hortons and Slaneys, must even, without a direct visitation of Providence, lead to temporal ruin.' " We have always understood that the supe riority of the Christian religion over every other consisted in its enjoining nothing which does not tend to promote the temporal happiness of man. We are taught to consider the Deity as delight ing in the happiness of his creatures ; and that wiiiL-h adds to. their happiness in this world can never surely be at variance with religion, rightly understood. What is there in the Christian re ligion that i s oppose d to any d octr i ne taug h t b y Mr. Malthus ? The Christian religion does not, surely, say that a man should act without prudence—that he should neglect those rules, by the observance of which alone he can hope to escape misery here. The ascetic notions which monks and visionaries entertained, from a mis apprehension of religion, have been long re nounced by the Christian world. The means by which it has been proposed to promote the temporal happiness of man may not alwa) s have been judicious ; but surely no one will seriously contend that any Government ought to have any other object than the promotion of the temporal happiness of its subjects. The length of our extracts prevents our entering further at present into the consideration of this subject.—Morning Chronicle. Rather more credit is claimed in certain quar ters for the withdrawing of the Government Candidate for Clare (if the fact be so), than the real merits of the case can fairly pretend to. An experienced Feeler was sent over, whose primary object unquestionably was to procure the return of Mr. Fitzgerald ; if that should be found utterly impracticable, as from the first we assert ed it would, the same confidential partisan had in his pocket a discretionary order to beat a re treat. Upon entering the enemy's country va rious mangeuvres were practised to effect the primary object ; but they having proved ineffec tual, nothing remained to be done but to adopt the rather mortifying alternative—and this is the conduct that calls forth such unqualified It would be a curious fact in the history of the Drama if it could be ascertained what is the total amount of the sums which the law has drawn from theatrical property within these last twenty years. At a rough guess we should be inclined to say that the average amount which law and litigation have drawn from all the Lon don theatres during that period, would have been sufficient to have defrayed the ordinary ex pences, such as actors, scenery, &c.—of a mode rate-sized one. People talk of being ruined by enormous salaries to stars and great actors. Though this may, and doubtless, in some few instances, has been overdone, yet it does not seem very unreasonable that those who attract the most money to the treasury should have the larger share of their own earnings. But if we were asked what it is has really rendered theatri cal property of late years so unproductive, we should say that it was owing to the enormous size of most of our modern theatres, and to the foolish state of litigation into which disappoint ment, wising from that course, has involved so many of them. That theatrical concerns are not fit subjects for Courts of Law and Equity, we have the highest living authority in the latter department for saying. Lord Eldon, unques tionably the greatest of modern Judges, when ever the concerns of a theatre came before him, uniformly recommended —nay, urged the parties to legislate and arbitrate for themselves ; advice which nothing but the most willful blindness or obstinacy could reject. In the case of Covent garden Theatre, the whole litigation is on the subject of an interest which is itself not worth the purchase of one year's costs ; yet, on this account, the time of the Court is to be taken up, deserving persons reduced to beggary, and the public curtailed in—if not ultimately, perhaps, deprived of—the source of rational amusement, which this temple of the legitimate drama has hitherto offered them. The whole subject affords a striking instance how little of common sense finds its way into the ordinary transactions of life ; and how heedlessly men rush upon their own ruin and that of others, when a little prudence, forbearance, and foresight, might avert the calamity.—Morning Herald. A Morning Paper of yesterday, attempts by an elaborate argument, to show that the present state of Ireland is not such as ought to disap point the expectations of those who advocated the Bill for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, upon the ground of its assumed tendency to pro mote and secure the tranquillity of that country, or to discredit the measure which they repre sented as the infallible source of peace and pros perity. We will extract from the article to which we allude a short passage, in which the whole spirit and substance of the argument is condensed :—" But," says our modest Contem porary, who accuses other men of impudence, " But though heads may be broken, or peasants shot, and the unfortunate policemen in revenge be murdered, the people of Ireland are what they were two years ago, minus their hatred of the Government." This flippancy of remark so inapplicable to the subject, and betraying as it does so complete a destitution of taste, feeling, and judgment, on the part of those who employ it, is but little calculated to make the King of England, or his loyal subjects, satisfied with the present condition of Ireland.— The Constitution of 1688 was not "broken in upon" in order that heads might continue to be broken, that peasants might be shot as usual, that unfortunate policemen might in revenge be murdered as before, that the people of Ireland might remain what they were two years ago. The object of the Bill, or rather we would say the apology of a measure which militated against the feelings of the people of England, was to allay the agitation of Ireland—to render Ireland a country in which men might reside who we re n o t absolutely tied to it—to present Ireland as an open, and fair, and attractive field for the em ployment of English capital—the object or the apology was that heads might not be broken, peasants not shot, policemen not murdered, the people of Ireland not the same that they were two years ago ; and the very enumeration there fore of our Contemporary is a proof that the measure which " broke in upon the Constitu tion of 1688" has produced consequences per fectly the reverse of those which were its osten sible objects and its only apology. But the sub terfuge to which our Contemporary resorts for shelter against his own terrible admissions is of a nature which should at least have admo nished him not to accuse any body of im pudence. The people of Ireland are the same after Roman Catholic Emancipation as before, " minus," he says, " their hatred of Govern ment." We do not understand the term " hatred of Government," if it implies any thing more than contempt and systematic disobedience to the law ; and in this contempt and disobedience the leaders of the Roman Catholics of Ireland are, we confidently assert, more conspicuous and determined at the present moment than at any former period. Was it the intention of the law to put down the Roman Catholic Association ? Is a permanent Association, meeting at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, an d proclaiming theirinten tion to interfere in all future elections in Ireland, any thing else but th e R o m a n Catholic Associa tion in a new form ? When until now was that hatred of Government s which consists in con- tempt and defiance of the law, so strikingly dis played ? When were the Agitators so bold ? When bad they the Catholic multitudes so completely under their controul ? When were the interests of the whole empire, the peace of Ireland, the respect due to the laws, the feelings, and wishes of the King of England and h is Ministers and his people, so resolutely or audaciously set at defiance ? The hatred of the British Go vernment now displayed by the agitators and demagogues of Ireland is more inveterate than ever, and exhibits a feature of malignity and danger which never until the present moment could have been perceived in it. The demonstra tion of that which we all along believed and proclaimed, is now perfect. Indulgence and concession, which we always said would aggra vate their hatred to the Government of England, have been tried to the utmost, and the dema gogues and agitators manifest a hatred of the English Government more intense and enter prising than before. The effect of the measures for the pacification of Ireland is to be found in the actual state of that country. To adjudicate to different parties their various proportions of blame is nothing to the purpose, unless it be • intended and understood as an indirect confession that the evils have in fact been aggravated which those measures were intended to extinguish, and that their authors and advo cates had not duly examined the element upo❑ which they presumed to operate. What is it to the King of England or to his loyal and affec tionate Protestant subjects to be told that the Orangemen of Ireland must share with the Roman Catholic demagogues and agitators the blame of the terrible disorders and convulsion which now prevail in that country ? They were told that by measures which broke in upon the Constitution of Great Britain, Ireland might be pacified ; and what have they found to be the effect of these boasted measures ? Can the facts be denied that Ireland is at this moment more disordered and convulsed than before ; or that now, for the first time within many years, the peaceable inhabitants of many parts of that country are earnestly invoking the blessings of martial law as a mild substitute for the lawless and intolerable violence to which they feel them selves exposed ?—illorning Post. It would appear from the following article, which we copy from an original and well- conducted northern paper, the Elgin Courier, that the gang of common informers have made their appearance within what may be denomi ❑ated its peculiar province. The informer made a narrow escape from some gentlemen who enter tained a due sense of his merits, and who, not withstanding their failure in convincing him of it in the practical mode usually adopted in that quarter towards any member of the fraternity, will, we doubt not, ere long, cool his courage in laying informations. The following is the article to which we refer : " We understand that informations were laid on Friday last against from fourteen to sixteen of our merchants, for selling patent medicines, stamped articles, &c. without the licence, by which all of them are subject to a penalty of twenty, some of them thirty, and others of them to one of fifty pounds. We have heard it stated, and have no doubt of the truth of the report, that an individual of the name of George M'Kain, was in every in. stance the informer. It is said that he called at the shops of those against whom he had laid informa tions, and bought Anderson's Pills, Aromatic Vine gar, Cephalic Snuff, Stamped Silver Plate, &c. &c. He is said to have tried to have laid informations against the great majority of our merchants ; but was only successful with the number above mentioned. The affair has excited much interest and conversa- ion in the place; and on Monday evening last, be- tweet) nine and ten o'clock, several hundreds of young men and others attended at his house, for the purpose, it is said, of furnishing him with an ex perimental proof of the opinion they entertain of his conduct. The Sheriff, however, opportunely interfered, and having admonished the persons so congregated together of the consequences of laying violent hands on McKain, they soon after quietly dispersed."—Morning . Advertiser. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, JULY 7. CHAMPION AND MAW. This was a bill tiled by the plaintiff for an account of trinkets and jewels belonging to a testatrix at the time of her decease, and not specifically devised; also praying that all articles of jewellery bequeathed to Ann Champion by the testatrix, and not already made over to her, be delivered up by the defendant, who is the executor of the will. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, it appeared that the testatrix, after excepting some particular articles, bequeathed to the plaintiff all her other trinkets and jewels. That was a very indefinite expression; and if the plaintiff pressed for an inquiry as to what trin kets the testatrix died possessed of which were not specifically devised, the Court would grant the ap plication at the plaintiff's risk. ELSWORTIIY AND BIRD. This was a bill for the specific performance of an agreement. _ . . . _ - The case is simply this :—Mr. and Mrs. Bird are husband and wife. The plaintiff is Mrs. Bird's fa ther. Very unhappy disputes having arisen between Mr. and Mrs. Bird, a charge of cruelty was insti tuted by the latter against her husband, whom she accused of assaulting her, and confining her in a dark room. Mr. Bird was indicted for an assault on his wife at the Somersetshire Quarter Sessions, and found guilty. The Court recommended that an ar rangement should be made by the parties, with a view to prevent the occurrence of future disagree ments. In consequence of this recommendation an agreement was entered into on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Bird, and signed by their legal advisers. By this arrangement a separation was agreed on, Mr. Bird consenting to pay 50!. a-year for his wife's sup port to her father and brother as trustees; and it being also provided that all further litigation con nected with the transactions in question, or the al leged conduct of Mrs. Bird, should be discontinued. Mr. BICKERSTETH, for the plaintiff, who filed this bill in his character of trustee to enforce the contract for the maintenance of Mrs. Bird, said it was in evi dence that Mr. Bird had acquiesced in the arrange ment,' in consequence of which only a nominal punishment was inflicted on him by the Court upon his conviction. It would be sufficient to prove that the agreement (which had been fulfilled by the de fendant) was entered into by his consent and au thority. _ . Evi►lence was read on the part of the plaintiff, proving that defendant acquiesced in the arrange ment. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, from the evi dence adduced on the part of the plaintiff, it was clear that Mr. Bird finally acquiesced in the settle ment by which an allowance was provided for his wife's maintenance. There must, therefore, be a decree in favour of the plaintiff for the specific per formance of the agreement, and that decree must be with costs. The Master would settle what was due and prepare a proper deed for the payment of the al lowance as made by the agreement. DRURY AND ATKINS. This was a bill filed by the executors of the late Admiral Drury against Alderman Atkins, calling upon him to produce the accounts of certain transac tions which took place between the Admiral and himself in his capacity of a navy agent fr om 1787 , down to 1814 , the date of his employer's death, and aubsequeutly till a still later period, at which the affairs of the deceased were managed by the de fendant for the executors. His HONOUR, after stating that he should dismiss the bill ►with costs, so far as it sought to open the accounts generally, observed, he ►was afraid that he could not refuse an inquiry (if the plaintiffs ►would take it with costs) whether, according to the usage and custom of agents or merchants, Mr. Alderman Atkins was entitled to retain a sum of 40U1., re ceived by him in 1814, without bringing it to ac count till the time of the average of the insurance being settled or compromised, putting it to the Mas ter to state special circumstances. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 7. DEL PONT V. DE TASTET. Mr. HORNE (with whom was Mr. Pemberton) appeared for the plaintiff. The circumstances of the case were these :—The plaintiff, who was a merchant at Madrid, sent produce to Lima through the agency of Braman() and Co., of Hamburgh. This took place in 1808, when England was at war with Spain, and when, consequently, all trade be tween Spain and her colonies was either cut off or rendered very insecure. This country, however, was in the habit of granting licences to the vessels of neutral states to carry on the trade ; and thus it happened that the plaintiff (Del Pont) sent his produce to Lima, through the agency of an Ham burgh house. The produce was sold for 1,3164 doubloons (being equal to 4,4461. 13s. 11d. ster ling), and the doubloons were consigned by Bran.: tano and Co. to their agent De Tastet, in London, whom they directed to hold them for the plaintiff. A correspondence took place between the plaintiff and defendant, and the result was that the doubloons were sold for the above-mentioned sum, which the defendant agreed to hold for the plaintiff, allowing him in the mean time 44 per cent. upon it. Bren tano and CO. subsequently found that Del Pont owed money to a certain Spanish nobleman who was indebted to them, and, upon making this dis covery, they wrote to De Tastet, desiring him not to give up the money realized by the sale of the doubloons to Del Pont, but to hold it for them in discharge of the debt due from Del Pont to their debtor. The defendant had thought proper to obey their instructions, and therefore, after every other means had failed, the plaintiff had been com pelled, in 1822, to file this bill against the defend ant, in order to compel the restitution of that property which the latter thus unjustly withheld from the former. . The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, the money must be paid over to the plaintiff, with five per cent. interest upon it from the period at which it came into the hands of the defendant, to the time at which it had been lodged in Court under an order made by Lord Eldon at a former hearing of the cause. All the costs must fall upon the defendant. HUME V. SHEPHARD. This was a case in which a testator in his will had used the following words :—" After paying all my lawful debts and funeral expences, I bequeath to my son, James Sorrel, the sum of 400/.," &e. This son was an illegimate child, and at a former period the testator had entered into a bond to give him 400/. on his (the testator's) decease, or on his son's coining of age. It was now sought to recover upon the bond as a debt, in addition to the leaaey of 4001. in the will. A report was made to the Mas ter, who had reported that the bond was a debt, and the case was now heard on exceptions to the Master's report. The VICE-CHANCELLOR agreed with the Master, and confirmed the report.—Costs to be paid out o the testator's estate. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 7. PEYTON V. THE GOVERNORS OF ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. Lord TENTERDEN, at the sitting of the Court, de livered the opinion of the Court in this case, which was argued the week before last upon a rule nisi to set aside the nonsuit. It was a special action on the case by the reversioner of the house, No. 109, Cheapside, against the defendants, as owners of the adjoining house, for an injury sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendants pulling down their house without shoring up or duly se curing the plaintiff's house. The Court were of opinion that the nonsuit was right, and therefore discharged the rule. After the delivery of this and another judgment by Lord TENTERDEN, Sir J. SCARLETT took the usual oaths on his appointment to the office of At torney- General. THE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Mr. DENMAN obtained a rule nisi to change the venue in this case (in which an issue was directed a few days ago to try whether or not Newstead, for merly the residence of Lord Byron, was a township or ville), from Nottinghamshire to Derby or Leices ter, on the ground that great prejudice was likely to exist in the former county, and that many of the gentlemen who were liable to serve as special jurors had an interest in the question. LEE AND ANOTIIER V. THE AYR AND CALDER NAVI. GATION COMPANY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule nisi to set aside the award in this case. It appeared that the defendants, being desirous of extending the line of their canal, found it necessary to carry it through certain premises belonging to the plaintiffs, Messrs . . Lee and Watson. A barrister and two en gineers were appointed arbitrators, to determine as to the amount of compensation to be paid to the plaintiffs. By the award, the arbitrators had found that the plaintiffs were entitled to 13,0001. for damages, in which sum was included 2,6001., the amount of the plaintiffs' expenses in opposing the Company in Parliament. The Learned Counsel submitted, that this was an item riot within the scope of the award. The arbitrators had also awarded a seam of between 6,000/. and 7,0001. for costs, an amount which appeared to be enormous. The Master had expressed it as his opinion, that 1,200/. at least would be taken off on taxation. The COURT granted a rule to show cause why the award should not be set aside or the sums re &iced. DUNN V. MURRAY AND OTHERS. This case came before the Court ona question raised by the award of a gentleman at the bar, to whom the cause had, by an order at nisi prius, been referred. It appeared that the plaintiff had been em ployed as a reporter by the defendants, proprietors of a newspaper, and having been dismissed from their service in August, 1827, he brought an action for the atnount of his salary to the end of the year. The cause was referred to a barrister, who awarded a sum Of 631. to be paid to the plaintiff for twelve weeks' salary, at five guineas per week, from the 4th of August, 1827, when the dismissal took place, to the 27th October following, when the action was brought. The 631. having been paid, the plaintiff afterwards brought the present action to recover the salary w hich he claimed from the 27th of October to the end of the year. On the cause coming on for trial, the parties agreed to a reference to a barrister, who had now made his award, finding that the plaintiff had cause of action, unless the Court should be of opinion that the former action was to be considered as a bar to the second ; and awarding a sum of 52/. to be paid to the plaintiff for his salary from the 27th of October, 1527, to the end of the year. Mr. F. POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. Richards), for the defendants, submitted that the present action l i could not be maintained. The question turned upon the form of the declaration in the first action, and the award made by the arbitrator in that action. The declaration alleged that the plaintiff had been em ployed by the defendants to report for them the t proceedings o f the Court of King's Bench, and also report in t he House of C ommons for the space of One year, front February, 1827, at an annual salary, at the rate of five guineas per w ee k ; an d t h at the plaintiff continued ttotottl until the the 4 d tuttiyoff August,orlieh he 1 1 2 i a 7 d , b een so employed when h e was dismissed with out any just cause. Th e arbitrator by his award found that the plaintiff had good cause of action, and had sustained damage to the amount of 631., which sum he directed to be _ paid to him, " as the amount of compensation accruing up to the 27th of October, 1827." Under these circumstances, the question slow was, whether the plaintiff was not precluded from recovering any thing in this action. The arbitrator, in assessing the amount of damages in the first action, was not necessarily bound to give the whole year's salary. It was competent to him to take all the circumstances into consideration, and to award such a sum as he should consider would be sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for being dismissed from Isis situation before the end of the year. There being a special count in the declaration, the arbitrator might, if he had thought proper, have given, by way of damatre, a sum beyond that which had accrued up to the 27th of October. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, observed, that there had been no plea of judgment recovered in this case, and it was, therefore, open to the arbitra tor to inquire whether the plaintiff had been satisfied by the damages awarded in the former action. The plaintiff had declared on a contract by which he was employed for a year, and having been dismissed be fore that period, he was entitled to the whole year's alary, just the same as he would have been had he continued in the employ of the defendants till the end of the year. The arbitrator had, however, merely assessed the amount of compensation up to the 27th of October, when the first action was brought. That fact appeared by the terms of the award, and salary having become due weekly after that time until the end of the year, the plaintiff was entitled to recover it in this action. The COURT took time to consider of the case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JuLT 7. IN RE JEFFEREYS. Mr. Sergeant MEREIVETHER showed cause against a rule obta►ned by Mr. Sergeant Wilde calling on the Vestry-clerk of the parish of St. Andrew, Hol born, to show cause why a writ of privilege should not issue on behalf of Mr. Jeffereys, to exempt that gentleman from serving the office of overseer of the poor of the above parish.—Judgment deferred. THE MALT TRADE. Yesterday the conference appointed by his Ma jesty's Government to be held between Commis sioners on the part of the Board of Trade and a Deputation from the General Body of Maltsters of the kingdom, took place in the Board-room of the Excise-office, in Broad-street. The conference began about eleven o'clock, and lasted until about two o'clock in the afternoon. Various details were laid before the Commis sioners, sheaving the injurious tendency of the law for regulating the manufacture of Malt. The details were attentively listened to by the parties deputed by Government, and a Report will be drawn up, embodying the evidence given by th e Deputation from the Malt Trade. This document is to be forwarded to the Treasury, to have the opinion of his Majesty's Government on the measures of relief suggested by the trade. From what passed at the conference, there is every reason to suppose that Ministers are extremely anxious to do all in their power to get rid of the ob jectionable clauses of the new Act, and of which the maltsters have so loudly complained. The answer of Government on the subject is ex pected in a week or ten days. The Deputation withdrew with feelings of much gratification at the great attention paid them. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

It is not a gourmand's book, nor does it pretend to be ; and though we shall not put away Rundell and Kitchiner for Mrs. Dalgairns, she is far more copious than they are, far more various, and to us more novel."—Spectator, 13th June. THE BILIOUS PILLS, PREPARED by F. NEWBERY and SONS, are the discovery of a Physician of the first eminence at the present time. In an extensive prac tice for some years he has employed them in the most ob stinate Bilious Cases with unra , ying success. They operate principally as a deobstruent and purgative ; they promote a proper action of the liver in the secretion of bile, or correct it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually removed; and by giving tone to the biliary ducts and strength to the system, they afford relief to those who suffer from nervous attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, indigestion, and gouty affection. The Bilious Pills have the name " F. NEWBERY" engraved in the government stamp on each Box, and are 'old at No. 45, St. Paul's Church-yard ; and by J. Sanger, 150, Oxford -street, London ; W.

IN the morning of Life, when the blandish ments-IL of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers. To all persons so circumstanced as to require the professional aid of men of experience, whose time has Leen for twenty years studiously and suc cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous debility, whether natural or acquired, GOSS and CO. proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will too readily comprehend without further description, may find relief from his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of creation. The sufferer who, from another extreme of in dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wooed debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Luee Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of the quack, or the concealment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration; and finally in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate.

NESIAN APERIENT, for Bilious Affections, Heart-burn, Costiveness, Gravel, &c. This unique Pre paration unites the active medicinal properties of the most efficient Saline Purgatives, with all the agreeableness of a glass of Soda Water; the disengagement of the Carbonic Acid Gas, during the exhibition, renders it peculiarly grateful to the Stomach, correcting Nausea and Sickness. It has been found of great service by several individuals subject to attacks of the Gout, for allaying Irritation, cor recting Acidity, and abating Fever. As a Cooling Purga tive for Children, it is peculiarly acceptable from its agree able taste, and no less so as an adjunct to a Mercurial Pill over night. A Dose taken early in the morning will re store the tone of the Stomach, and allay those febrile symptoms consequent on indulging too freely in the luxuries of the table. Its portableness and the convenience with which it is mixed recommend it to the attention of all Travellers, particularly those visiting or residing in hot climates. It has obtained the sanction of several distin guished members of the Faculty, and has been denominated by a most respectable Practitioner at Chester, " the best, and mildest, and pleasantest Purgative he ever took."

Extract of a private letter from an Officer in the Island, dated Mauritius, March 4, 1829 : " We have had very bad weather here for some days past, and have been dreading a hurricane (as this is the season for those dreadful calamities), but as yet we have escaped, and are anxiously looking forward to the end of this month, when it is sup posed the season ends; but I am sorry to say we have received most dreadful accounts from the Isle of Bourbon (about a day's sail from this Island), they having had a most violent hurricane ; indeed the accounts given in the Mauritius Gazelle of this awful catastrophe are almost beyond belief. Imagine to yourself a vessel of forty tons on the stocks being taken off and carried by the sea, rising to a most fearful height, a distance of upwards of fifty yards over the Custom-house; it is supposed that twenty vessels are lost, twelve were driven on shore and entirely wrecked, with the loss of one hundred and twenty-six lives. A house of eighty feet in length has been blown over, and a very fine stone pier or breakwater has been entirely carried away ; the damage done in the interior of the Island is not known, but it is feared it will amount to a great deal. Of course, as always is the case on these occasions, the Sugar and Coffe e Plantations are all destroyed." The late rains have made a wonderful improve ment in the agricultural prospects in this part of the country.—Berhs Chronicle. PARIS, JULY 2.—Accounts from Egypt, received at Marseilles, say that the war between the Viceroy and the Weehabites is still carried on with great activity - . The troops of Mahomet, notwithstanding their new organization, and their new mode of arm ing, are said to have suffered much. The Wecha bites are superior, especially in cavalry; they have now a eorps of regular troops, under the command of an European captain, who is said to be either a Swede or a Bohemian.. He has also introduced lin provements, especially in the artillery. The Diario di Roma of the 20th gf June says— " By an edict, countersigned by his Eminence Car dinal Albani, Secretary of State, dated the 15th of June, ,his Holiness has confirmed . and renewed the rigorous ordinances which proscribe secret societies." The last accounts received from M. de Ferronnays are :very satisfactory.. His health is considerably i ved. (From the Journal du Commerce of Friday.) PARIS, JULY 2.—We made a mistake when we announced that the report of the committee on the Customs would be made this week. We learn that the committee has not yet concluded its labours. The scrupulous attention which it pays to the sub ject is the cause of the delay. Several sittings were employed in hearing successively, on the sugar ques tion, the planters, the refiners of Paris and Havre, and the manufacturers of sugar from beet -root, who have desired to be heard. On the question relative to silk, the committee has heard the opinions of growers, the Deputies of Lyons, and the delegates of the Chamber of Commerce of that city. It is not possible yet to fix the time when the re port may be presented, as some very important ques tions and numerous petitions remain to be examined.

VIENNA, JUNE 24.—The Wallachian Courier, published at Bucharest, in the number of 15th June, gives the following statement : Official News from a Report of General Baron Geismar, respecting the taking of the fortified town of Rachova or Orivit, on the right bank of the Danube, between Nicopolis and Widdin. On the 9th June, N.S., 200 volunteers of dif ferent regiments, commanded by Colonel Count Tolstoy, and a battalion of the 32d Regiment of Jagers, crossed the Danube, opposite the town of Rachova, under the protection of the fire of 22 pieces of cannon planted on the left bank of the Danube. This handful of heroes, supported by a battalion of the Regiment of Tobolsk, which came to its aid during the engagement, which continued till two o'clock in the afternoon, having driven the enemy from the batteries, and their forces took the town. The' enemy fought with great resolution, but could not resist the boldness of our soldiers. Nearly 500 prisoners, among whom is HusseiTi, Pacha of Varna (Paella of two tails), five cannons, and five standards, are the trophies of this victory. Among the very considerable number of the killed is Selim, Effendi Aga of Rachova. Our loss is not known, but it is inconsiderable in comparison with the enemy.—(Here follows a short official ac count of the battle of the 11th of June.)—Austr ian Observer, June 25. KRAJOWA, JUNE 13.—General Geismar, who commanded eight regiments in Little Wallachia, crossed the Danube on the ninth instant, and, having erected a battery before Rachova, took that place by storm ; the Turks made a desperate resist ance, and their loss is said to be very great ; five hundred of them were taken prisoners. The Rus sian loss is said to be several hundred men. This successful operation, by which the campaign has been so happily begun on this side, seems to be connected with the plan of operations of General Diebitsch; and General Geismar has ordered the fortifications of Rachova to be strengthened, and magazines to be formed there. This position may prove of essential advantage to the main army, by paralysing the efforts of the Pacha of Widdin, and preventing him from offensive operations.—Nurem burgh Correspondent, June 29. BUCHAREST, JUNE 13.—News has just been received that the Baron Geismar, with 3 or 4,000 men, crossed the Danube on the ninth, near Rachova, and made the Turkish garrison of 500 men prison ers. It is thought that this corps is only a van guard, which will be followed by the whole of General Geismar's army, to act against Nicopolis or the Pacha of Widdin. We have no news from the neighbourhood of Silistria. VIENNA, JUNE 24.—:MetalliqUC3, 98 9-16; Bank Shares, I,ll6i.—Alkemeine Zeitung, June 29. ODEssn, JUNE 12.—We are very anxious for news from the army in Bulgaria. According to the last account the Grand Vizier was at Jenibazar, with 30,000 men, opposed to him was General Roth, with twenty battalions of infantry, and two divisions of cavalry. Count Diebitsch, with a con siderable corps, had left the camp before Silistria ou the 3d June, in order to reinforce General Roth, and attack the Grand Vizier in flank; who it was believed, however, would not risk a battle, but on the approach of the above forces, would retreat to his fortified camp at Shumla. The Commander-in- Chief had left General Krasowsky to continue the siege of Silistria during his absence.—Allgenieine Zeitung, June 27. WARSAW, JUNE 25.—The Emperor will leave us to-night. The young Grand Duke Alexander left the day before yesterday. The Grand . Duke Constantine set out this morning,and, as we hear, will accompany the Emperor to Tulczym. The Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe Weimar set out for Berlin the day after to-morrow, where they will stop three days, and reach Weimar on the 4th July.—Prussian Slate Gazette, June 29. BUCIUREST, JUNE 10.—All trade is put a stop to here by the cordon which is drawn round the city to prevent the propagation of the plague, in con sequence of which all the shops are shut. We hear that serious measures of precaution are adopted at Odessa also, because some persons in the port had been seized with typhus fever. We have had no summer yet; for these three weeks past cold rain fell in torrents. On the Ist the Turks made an inroad into Little Wallachia and took some cattle, but were immediately driven back across the Danube. Within these few days the passage of couriers to and from the army in Bulgaria has been uncommonly active. FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JUNE I.s.—The rise of the Danube is said to have caused a suspension of the operations before Silistria and Ghuergevo, and to have damaged the works of the besiegers, which were already far advanced. The fall of these for tresses, which was lately supposed to be near at hand, is thereby delayed, and the war appears likely to be protracted. In Russia they are fully aware of this state of things, and measures are being adopted which are indicative of a third campaign. The longer th e war continues the more does the Russian nation appear to be confirmed in the opinion that every effort must be made to compel the Porte to yield, as theinterest of Russia suffers materially from the present state of things. According to a report in circulation, there was, at the beginning of this month, another action near Pravadi, in which the Turkish cavalry, after obtain ing some advantages, was afterwards defeated by General Roth, who was with 15,000 men at Kos• tudjeh, to cover the siege of Silistria. General Roth is said to have left 10,000 men in Varna, .for the defence of that fortress, and to have posted him self with 15,000 at * Kostudjeh, to observe the movements of the main army under the Grand Vizier. It should seem, therefore, that a column which was destined to maintain the communication between Varna and General Roth's corps, had been attacked by a superior force of the Turks near Pra vadi, and relieved by the reinforcements sent to its support. VIENNA, JUNE 23.—The Emperor and Empress have come to the capital, to give audiences. The Crown Prince has already been out to take an airing, but has not yet come to town. M. Bois le Comte has arrived here express from Paris, on which the French Legation despatched a courier to Constan tinople. A Russian courier has passed through, on his way from Italy to Warsaw. The Giraffe, which was brought here a year ago as a present from the Paella of Egypt, died on Saturday at Schonbrunn, after having been long ill.

General Caucrin, the Russian Minister of Finance, in the rescript respecting the loan, says, " That the extensive resources possessed by the Treasury, and the Emperor's constant desire of peace, excited a hope that the small loan of 18 millions already ne gotiated would be sufficient, but that the obstinate resistance of the enemy, and the hostilities which are the consequence, render it necessary to take new measures in order to complete the reserve fund, which is diminished by the war." His Majesty the King arrived at Brussels yester day afternoon. The Princess of Orange, with her suite, sets out for Weimar to-morrow morning. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 4.—The North Star, 28, Captain Arabin, arrived on Monday evening in 55 days from Rio de Janeiro. There was no English man of war lying there. Rear-Admiral Sir R. W. Otway, in the Ganges, with the. Tribune frigate, was cruising off the port. The Right Honourable Lord Strangford, Envoy Extraordinary_ from this Court to the Brazils, returned in the North Star, having failed in every object of his embassy. Don Pedro, despairing of success in obtaining a consort from any European Court, was about to espouse the Marchioness Seitos, a lady of some beauty, by whom he has already had one child. The Brazilian men of war were dismantling as fast as they arrived from the service in which they were engaged during the late war with Buenos Ayres; and the British Officers, hitherto actively employed in that navy, were now thrown aside upon a very scanty pension of about 2s. per diem—and that was very irregularly paid. Not any expectation was held out that Don Pedro would make the slightest effort to hurl Don Miguel from his usurpation. The North Star came into harbour yesterday to be paid off. Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Vic- tor, Havannah, May 21 :—" We arrived here yes terday from Jamaica, to order the Druid to Eng land. We then proceed to Nassau, to send the Mersey to Bermuda. Port Royal has been very sickly for the last two months, from the effect of which the Magnificent has not escaped, having in ten days lost about thirty men. We have not lost a man out of the Victor. We are kept constantly at sea, being only allowed forty-eight hours in har- bour ; a regulation to which I conceive may be at tributed the health: of the sea-going ships. The Slaney arrived from Antigua, and sailed again the day before we left Jamaica." The Russian frigate Castor, and a brig of war, arrived on 'Wednesday from Malta, on their passage to Cronstadt. They bring no news. The Seringapatam, 46, Hon. Captain Walde grave, sailed on Tuesday for the South American station, to relieve the Forte frigate. General Mil ler, who was lately in the Peruvian service, has taken a passage in her. She will call at Brest to take on board Mr. Pennell (and family), appointed Consul-General for this country at the Brazils. The Earl of Dalhousie, Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies, is arrived here to take his passage in the Pallas, 52, Captain Fitzclarence. The Bishop of Calcutta, Dr. Turner, is also arrived for the same purpose. The Herald yacht, Captain Maxwell, was to leave Woolwich to-day, for Copenhagen and St. Petersburgh. Lady Heytesbury, her son and daughter, and Captain A'Court, take passage in her. The brig Swift has arrived this week from Hali fax, with the crews of the Ringdove sloop of war and the Myrtle packet ; the former vessel having been put out of commission as unserviceable, and the latter having been lost in a fog on the coast of Nova Scotia. We are happy to hail the return of Captain Clement, in his Majesty's ship Shannon, to this station. It will be remembered that this gallant officer in addition to his other distinguished services, saved the town of Falmouth, in .this island, from the total conflagration in the year 1812, while lying off that port, as Commander of his Majesty's sloop Favourite. On discovering the fire he landed with his crew, and rendered the most prompt and effectual services, for which he after wards received the unanimous thanks of the Ma gistrates and inhabitants of that town, for his great and meritorious exertions on that occasion.—Jamaica Courant, April 17. At Spithead—Briton, Pallas, and two Russians. In the Harbour—Victory, Melville, Athol, North Star, Favourite, and Onyx. The Zenobia, free trader for Ceylon and Calcutta, now at Spithead will sail to-morrow. General Sir Hudson Lowe takes passage in her. The Carts Brea Castle, free trader, Captain Barber, for the Cape and Calcutta, will also get away; she has been detained by the late boisterous weather. Lord Yarborough, in his yacht, the Falcon, has this week made an excursion to Jersey. His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and the Earl of Ilchester have this week also made their appearance at Spithead, in their respective yachts. His Grace the Duke of Buccleugh arrived here on Wednesday night, and returned to London yesterday. A steam vessel of 200 horse power, called the Columbia, was launched on Wednesday, at Wool wich Dock-yard; she is intended for the service of the new Settlement at Swan River. DEVONPORT, JULY 4.—Letters have been re- Lieutenant John Spurin, (1815) is appointed to be first Lieutenant of the Trinculo, fitting out at this port. The following appointments to the Revenue cruisers have taken place last quarter :—Lieutenant Thomas Jackson, (b) to the Dolphin; Lieutenant Samuel Granby, to the Harpy; Lieutenant S. Barrett, to the Stork ; Lieutenant Sidney King, to the Ranger; Lieut. Richard Carter, to the Scout. Mr. John Whitefield is appointed Supernumerary Assistant Surgeon of his Majesty's ship Britannia, instead of Mr. David Graham Miller, appointed to his Majesty's packet-brig Lyra. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 4. GLASSPOOLE V. .41JNG AND OTHERS.' • In-this case the Attorney-General had obtained a rule nisi for a• nonsuit. The action was brought against the late Sheriff of Surrey, and several other persons, for an illegal seizure and sale of the goods of the plaintiff, Mary Glasspoole. The Jury, under the direction of Lord Tenterden, found for• the plaintiff for 1631., the value of the goods, his Li rd ship giving leave to the defendants to move to enter a ponsuit. The rule nisi was obtained by the Attorney-Ge neral on two grounds,---first, that Lrover would not lie in this case; and secondly, that there had been leave and licence on the part of the plaintiff, no no tice having been given of Meering's bigamy before the sale of the goods. _ _ Mr. GURNEY and Mr. COMYN were now heard against the rule; and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. COLT3IAN in support of it. Lord TENTERDEN was of opinion that the ride ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE and Mr. Justice J. PARKE concurred, and the rule was then discharged. TOMKINS V. SAVORY. This case, which was tried at Guildhall, at the sittings after Trinity term in the last year, mute on. for argument upon a rule nisi, to enter a nonsuit, or for a new trial. The action was brought to recover a sum of 2701. from the defendant, a stock-broker of the city of London. The COURT, after hearing Mr. GURNEY against the rule, and the ATTORNEY-UENERAL in support of it, said they were of opinion that there ought to be a new trial. The rule therefore must be made absolute without costs. NEW V. SWAINE AND ANOTHER. In this case, in a former term, the ATTORNEY GENERAL obtained a rule nisi to set aside the, non suit and for a new trial. The action was brought for a breach of contract in not delivering a quantity of hops which had been purchased by the plaintiff of the defendants. The COURT, after hearing the Learned Counsel on both sides, were of opinion that the rule shouid be discharged, which was done aocordingly. FLINN V. IIEADLAM. A rule nisi for a new trial had been obtained in this case, on the ground that the verdact for the plaintiff was against evidence. The action was upon a policy of insurance, dated the 10th of.Jnly, 1821, on the ship Andromache, valued at 800/., on a voyage from Liverpool to Cronstadt, in Norway. —Rule discharged. THE KING V. --- PATTISON, ESQ. In this case a rule nisi for a quo warrant° infor mation had been obtained against Mr. Pattisoii, for exercising the offices of Alderman and Justice of the Peace of the city of Norwich, on the ground that he had, subsequently to his appointment to those offices, accepted the office of Treasurer of the county rate of Norwich, and that the holding of the two offices together was incompatible.—Rule ab solute. THE KING V. ----- DAY, ESQ. This was a similar application against Mr. Day, an Alderman and Justice of the Peace of the city of Norwich, on the ground that he had ac cepted the incompatible office of Inspector of Corn Re turns.—Rule discharged. THE KING V. JOHN ATTOW. The defendant, a young man residing in Lin colnshire, was brought up to receive the judgment of the Court after pleading guilty to an indictment preferred by the Apothecaries' Society, charging him with intending to deceive and impose on the Court of Examiners of that society, by producing to their Secretary a forged certificate of his hav ing served a regular apprenticeship of five years. to an apothecary at Wallington, in Norfolk, with a view to pass his examination before the examiners, he not having in fact served an apprenticeship of five years. It appeared that, in addition to the forged certificate, the defendant had presented to the Court of Examiners an affidavit, in which he had sworn that he had served the regular appren ticeship of five years. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, the sentence of the Court was, the defendant be imprisoned in his Ma jesty's gaol at Lincoln for the space of six months, and in the mean time be committed to the custody of the Marshal. The defendant then left the Court in custody. The Select Committee of Management at Drury-lane Theatre are reported to have made a consider able reduction in the rent of that establishment to the present Lessee. if, after all the efforts made by Mr. PRICE to produce novelty and superior attraction, during the last season, it failed at its close to realise a fair profit to the manager, it is quite clear that the rent is too high, and the proprietors have only exercised a sound discretion in lowering it. Mr. JONES, the comedian, at Drury-lane, has refused very lucrative oilers by the Managers of the Edinburgh, Manchester, and Dublin Theatres, to perform during the recess. He remains, however, all the summer in London, where he gives lessons of elocution to the stu dents of Oxford and Cambridge. A DROP TOO Mucir.--A countryman one morning meeting a crowd in Newgate-street, returning front an execution, inquired what was the matter. " Nothing more," said one of the spectators, " than a person died a few minutes since with taking a drop too much." One of the greatest luxuries of the Harem is shampooing the feet of the Turk with her soft fingers, by one of his wives, general!) , his favourite, which operation she continues for hours together. An opium eater assured me the most delightful of his reveries was imagining him self shampooed by the dark-eyed Houris of Paradise. -_ Madden's Travels in Turkey, Egypt, 6-c. Had but a tithe of the patronage been extend ed to BONINGTON, the artist, whilst he was alive and in health, which attended the sale of his drawings and sketches the other day, at SOTHEBY'S rooms, he might have lived and become a brilliant ornament, and one of the most ac complished artists of any age or country. JOHNSON Says, " we estimate a man by his worst performances while living—his best are generally considered after he is dead." A SNAKE NEST.—A man named ERASTUS Tony, of Dutchess county, has caught 150 rattle snakes this spring in the county of Sullivan. His design is to take them to England and Ireland for exhibition. He will have an opportunity of trying the experiment whether snakes can live in Ireland.—American Paper. SOMETHING NEW.—The lg Register of the 13th ult. says :—The steam-boat Virginia, which arrived here yesterday from Tuscaloosa, brought a barrel of hail-stones, some of which we saw ; they were of an inch diameter, and would have weighed an ounce c:.' more. This, it will be recollected, was ten days subsequent to the storm. We learn from the Captain of the Virginia, that large quantities of ice were still lying in vallies and places not open to a south exposure when he left there—we also understand, that a large quantity of hail-stones bad been collected in an ice -house in Tuscaloosa, from which ice punch, creams, &c. were served up as required.

ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL, 1829. It is now time to say something of St. Peters burgh, and I can assure you that this is a task I enter upon with considerable reluctance, as the subject has so recently been discussed by more able and accomplished travellers, yet I should but ill discharge the duties of your Correspon dent were I not to contribute my mite, and should pay but a poor compliment to the Russian capital were I not to take some notice of the splendours with which I am surrounded. I there fore propose giving you an outline of the plan and general appearance of the city, and in some succeed ing communications *ill offer a few remarks on the principal public buildings, museums, and other objects connected with the capital. The enter prising founder of St. Petersburgh, seeing the importance of a naval establishment to Russia, and knowing that the further extremity of the Gulf of Finland was the most eligible spot to put his plans in execution, has in the midst of a black and dreary morass, founded a city which is justly considered as the triumph of architecture, and one of the wonders of the world. I have now before me a map which was published before this city was in existence, consequently a place of such modern date must possess all the ad vantages of the more recent improvements in architecture. Italian artists were principally em ployed, and the architecture is an improvement on the general style and appearance of the prin cipal cities in Italy. The houses, which are built of brick and plastered, have low metal roofs, and as to elevation have a happy medium be tween London and Paris; and as yellow as in Italy is the prevailing colour, and as the climate is dry, the air pure, and wood exclusively burnt, the colours retain their brilliancy for years. The houses are all above medioCrity, but the palaces, chambers, public buildings, and the mansions of the nobility are on the most colossal scale of magnificence. I remarked that the gothic style of architecture is entirely excluded, the streets are broad and well paved, and have not the monstrous appearance of the streets of London, and which induced a foreign traveller to compare them to long lines of brick walls with peep-holes at regular intervals. The houses in general are richly decorated, with friezes, bas reliefs, and other ornaments after the purest models of the antique, but upon a close inspection it must be confessed they do not possess the neatness and finish which characterise most, if not all the buildings in London ; at the same time the eye of a severe critic cannot discover any of the architectural abortions which unfortunately disgrace our metropolis. The plan of St. Petersburgh is admirable ; the Neva discharges itself into the Baltic by three mouths, which form the two islands of Wasili Ostrof and Petrofski. The greater part of these islands is now built upon; in the former the streets are laid out at right angles, with mathe matical precision, and are most appropriately called " Lines ;" here most of the merchants re side, and have their warehouses ; here likewise are the Custom-house and Exchange. The Wasili Ostrof is in short the " City," the place exclu sively devoted to every transaction connected with the wholesale trade ; and the Neva, which separates this emporium of commerce from the more fashionable part of the capital, is charac teristic of the strong line of demarcation which exists between the trading and military part of the community, for into these two classes the whole population must be divided ; it is therefore natural to suppose that most of the splendid buildings, for which St. Petersburgh is so re markable, should be confined to the northern side or court end of the capital. The first that generally strikes a foreigner is the great beauty of the Neva, which is as broad as the Thames at London, but is not, like that river, the great common sewer of the metropolis, but a rapid stream of water as pure as chrystal ; as there is no tide there can be no embankments of mud and no deposits of filth. On both sides, the Neva is confined by granite quays extending from one extremity of the town to the other ; there are a broad road and a foot-path lined throughout with the finest buildings of the metropolis ; on the south side are the English quay, the Ad miralty, the Summer, Winter, and Marble Palaces, forming altogether a line of magnificent edifices extending nearly three miles. From the new Dock-yard (the western extremity of St. Pe tersburgh) the view is incomparably fine, particularly at sunset, when the western hori zon is illumined by tints unknown in our humid and cloudy atmosphere ; a " coup trail" is there conjured up by the rays of the departing sun which you may imagine, but which no pencil but that of a " Martin" can de scribe. The nearer edifices which form the fore ground of the picture, and the natural colours of which are so vivid, are now lit up by a golden gleam, which gradually loses its power and effect" as the eye ranges along the scene, till the ex treme distance appears lost in the haziness of the eastern horizon. As St. Petersburgh is the principal sea-port of Russia, the trade, of course, is very considerable, but ships generally unload at Cronstadt ; the car goes are then brought up in lighters, and dis charged on the wharfs of the numerous inlets and creeks with which the northern part of St. Pe tersburgh abounds, so that the quays of the Neva are throughout a fashionable promenade, neither disfigured with warehouses, nor encumbered with merchandise. _ _ Peter, who had resided a long time in Hol land, originally intended to have a canal through all the principal streets of his new capital ; this plan has been partially put in execution, and where it has not, the streets are unusually broad; the canals, instead of intersecting the town at right angles as in Holland, are here laid out in the form of a semicircle, and communicate with the Neva at both extremities of the town ; the Moikas and Fautanka canals are broad and deep, and, with the bridges, quays, &c., formA great ornament to St. Petzrsburgh ; in winter the canals serve admirably for roads, and in summer, the short duration of the heat prevents the ill effects that might otherwise arise from so much stagnant water. There are no squares at St. Peterslourgh ; in deed the great breadth of the streets, as well as the peculiarities o f the climate, render these openings unnecessary ; there is, however, a con. siderable space in front of the Admiralty, an ' edifice which may be with some propriety con sidered as the centre of St. Petersburgh ; from this space the three principal streets issue ; these streets are perfectly straight, and like the radii of a circle, meet in one point; the principal is the " Nevski perspective," the first glance of which I must confess shook my faith in the supremacy of Regent-street; the buildings of the latter are certainly richer in their archi tecture, and the shops more elegant in every sense of the word, but there is a grandeur and a space in the tout ensemble of the Nevski which cannot fail of striking every stranger. This celebrated street is two miles in length, and twice the breadth of Regent -street, and besides several churches and public buildings above mediocrity, is ennobled by a cathedral or palace, and an ex tensive range of fine buildings appropriated to the market or bazaar ; it is likewise intersected by the principal canals of the capital. Regent street is a splendid thoroughfare, traversing an inferior district, but all the streets and canals to the right and left of the Nevski are lined with buildings of corresponding splendour. As the most fashionable promenade of the capital, the Nevski is crowded between the hours of twelve and three, the shops are then a favourite lounge, but though by far the best in St. Petersburgh, they are neither so elegantly fitted up nor so richly stocked as the shops of London or Paris ; seve ral English and French tradesmen have very ex tensive magazines, and succeed well, as the in habitants generally prefer dealing with foreigners, in consequence of the well-known roguery of the Russian character. An Englishman informed me that he attempted to carry on his trade upon the English system, but found the plan would . not answer, as one price must be named and another taken, the purchasers never appearing satisfied till some diminution is effected ; in Russian shops it is usual to offer about half what the dealers demand, and purchases are frequently made on those terms ; indeed such is the stigma attached to trade here, that a native tradesman is determined to make all he can, and naturally conceives that the worth of a commodity is the price that any fool may be induced to give. As to parks there are none, indeed they would be perfectly useless in such a climate, but there is a plot of ground planted with birch trees, and fenced in with an elegant iron palisade, this is called the summer garden, and in summer is crowded with nursery-maids and children. In the Wasili Ostrof there is an attempt at a "Boule vard," but the trees are of slow growth, and afford but little protection against the scorching heats of a Russian summer; many of the inhabitants of this quarter of the town are determined to have gar dens in spite of climate, and strive hard to over come the defects of nature, but with what suc cess may be imagined. It must be confessed, however, that the Russians display great skill in the art of forcing ; the flower market is a con vincing proof of their superiority in this respect, and during winter the fruiterers' shops are not only supplied with asparagus, cucumbers, strawberries, cherries, and raspberries, but I have actually seen ripe egg plums at a period when not a vestige of vegetation was likely to appear for many weeks. Gas lights have not as yet been introduced, though an Englishman was some time since engaged by the Govern ment to make the necessary arrangements, but throughout the year the nights are so brilliant as to render lamps of any description almost unne cessary. One-eighth of St. Petersburgh is the actual property of the Government, and all the recent embellishments prove the good taste of the present administration. Every thing connected with what the French term " le Spectacle," from the Italian opera to a puppet show, is inferior in St. Petersburgh to what would be met with in a second rate city of Italy or Germany ; as to the theatres I have very little to say, as they were closed for a consider able time after my arrival, in consequence of the death of the Empress Mother. A death in the Imperial family is a serious inconvenience to the play-going part of the community, as the court mourning is carried to a preposterous extreme, and all places of public amusement are closed for a much longer period than is usual in other capi tals. There are four theatres and a circus, and the performances are alternately in French, German, or Russian ; there is likewise an Italian company but no theatre is exclusively set apart for the opera as in London and Paris ; theatricals are not much in vogue here, and the actors are wretchedly paid, consequently there is little real talent to be found where the encouragement is so limited. I went to the great theatre in the hope of seeing a national ballet, but I was disap pointed, the performers were French, and the Ballet " Zephyr and Flora," a piece most judiciously chosen at such a season, and in such a latitude. 'Tis true that Russia of all countries in the world is the least indebted to these mythological personages, but as the stage was a perfect hot-bed of flowers, and the deco rations of the most glowing description, the spectators were indulged with a scenic represen tation of those beauties, the reality of which they are so little acquainted with. There is nothing remarkable in the architecture of this theatre, but the interior is well arranged, though the de corations are not above mediocrity ; the pit is furnished with chairs instead of benches, and as each chair is numbered, no confusion can pos sibly take place. The Imperial Box, as in all con tinental theatres, is in the centre fronting the stage ; about two-thirds of the boxes were filled with cadets from the military schools, every thing had a military appearance, and two send- nels were stationed at all the principal approaches to the pit and boxes. At the further end of the pit was the officer on guard in full regimentals, he was as motionless as a statue, and stood dur ing the whole representation. Besides the usual military guard there was a strong muster of the Gendarmerie or mounted police outside the theatre ; their exertions were absolutely necessary as the sledges were so numerous, and formed such a complete labyrinth, that no one on foot could proceed with safety till the way was cleared. In the open space before the theatre are several circular inciosures, with benches and fire-places for the accommodation of coachmen and sledge drivers, no fires are allowed unless the weather is exceedingly cold. Another theatre is pow building in the Nevski, and which, to judge from appearances, will far .exceed the others in extent as well as architecture. NO. 111.

We cannot believe the report that SONTAG is about to retire from public life, and reside in Germany with her husband. The only ground for such a step must be the fact of her having made a competent fortune ; and those who are acquainted with the sort of establish ment she has always kept up, and the numerous suite (we were about to say herd) of persons that are always about and living upon her, will scarcely believe that such can be the case. What with her secretary, her dame de compagnee, her maids, valets, &c. &c., and her daily table of ten or twelve converts, the fifty or sixty thousand pounds that she has received during her seven years •f prima donnaship, must have pretty nearly evaporated.— Court Journal.

THE LATE BATTLE NEAR SHUMLA. TO THE EDlTutt OF THE SUN. Sto,—ln the few hasty:remarks I offered to your readers three days ago, on the subject of the late battle and its results, I had no object in view but to prepare them for consequences which are now inevitable. The Editor of a leading Morning Print takes a different view of the case. Permit me, how ever, to throw out the following suggestions :- 1. It appears that Count Diebitsch brought into the field at first only 10 battalions of infantry and four squadrons of cavalry, to which the Grand Vizier was enabled to oppose his whole army, con sisting of 22 reginzcnts of infantry and a large force of cavalry. The battle between these opposing forces was (as he candidly allows) most severe, nor could the small body of Russians gain any decided advantage. But in the afternoon the whole Rus sian army seems to have come up, and Count Die bitsch was enabled to bring forward fresh troops to contend against the thinned and exhausted ranks of the Turkish army. The consequence was a panic and an immediate flight. Had the whole Russian army been in the field in the morning, it is probable the defeat would have taken place then. 2. I still think we shall find in a few days that Count Diebitsch's army has arrived at Marasch be fore the Vizier's. The Count remained at Madara on the 14th, because it is a central point, from which he could superintend the movements of his various corps to the right and left. Between Ma dara and Marasch there are, however, redoubts raised by the Russians last year when they blockaded Shumla, and now garrisoned by the Turks. Of course the storming of these cost time and occasioned delay. But how great must be the delay to- the Vizier's army, which was obliged first to retreat on the road to Pravadi, and then turn off to the south to Jenikoi I Let any one inspect the map, and observe the situation of this latter place and its distance from Marasch, and be will join with me in the conclusion, that, if any of the forlorn fugitives from the Vizier's army reached Marasch before the Russians, it could only be those who were well mounted. 3. It cannot reasonably be doubted, that the Turks who garrisoned the two redoubts near Kur ganck were not fugitives from the battle, but a part of the garrison of Shumla. Their • destruction, will prove very discouraging to the small remnant now left to garrison that immense camp, and man such extensive works. 4. Finally, I join issue with the Editor of the Times, as to the question of the Vizier's infantry being enabled to reach Shumla in safety. He him self, and some of his cavalry, I allow, may chance to get in, if he chooses to adopt that plan, rather than bestir himself to collect his scattered troops in the defiles of the Balkan. His motions will decide those of Count Diebitach, who, if he has the energy and talent ascribed to him, will now be enabled either to take Shumla, or make a rapid march on Adrianople.—l remain your obedient servant, July 4, 1829.

In another column will be found the Revenue for the Quarter ending sth of July—upon which, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, there is a deficiency of 349,6931., being somewhat about 200,0001. more than was expected. For ourselves we confess that we are not at all surprised at the deficiency, nor do we think it can be matter of wonder or alarm in any Quarter. There must always be a fluctua tion in the amount of the Revenue—more or less in every Quarter. We cannot expect a con stant increase. There must of necessity be a variation in the amount, and the only way to in sure a probable increase is to make the pressure of the taxes as easy and as generally felt as pos sible. A Property-tax appears to us to be the most reasonable mode, and we have no doubt that Government will think so too before another year has elapsed. The decrease in this Quarter is principally in the Customs and Excise— the deficiency in the Customs being 245,4151., and that in the Excise 149,0641. The in crease is in Stamps 21,080/.—and that in crease might be quadrupled if the Stamps Laws were revised from their excessive tear-daty to the standard of a peace establishment. The Post-office and Taxes produce an increase of 40,0001. or so. The whole decrease on the Quarter is 411,1231., and the increase 61,4301. leaving a balance of 349,693/. ; but the decrease on the year is only 92,828/., the decrease on the Cus tom being exactly counterbalanced by the in crease on the Excise. Were taxation made more general, and at the same time more just, by adapting the duties to the capabilities of the people, the Revenue would not only be more flourishing but less subject to fluctmation of a desponding character. Let us hope that time, the great Reformer, will effect this. The New Orleans Courier, of the 12th May, says that a French brig of war, the Bancis, had arrived in that port from Vera Cruz, having on board Mr. MARTIN, Consul-General of France in Mexico, going to New York. In addition to the speech of the Emperor DON PEDRO, on opening the ordinary Session of the Chambers, we understand that the Por tuguese Legation in London have authorised the following, which appears in a publication sanc tioned by them : ti By the discourse of his Imperial Majesty, which we have received from Rio de Janeiro by the North Star frigate that brought Lord Strangford, the oppressed Por tuguese nation will see how they have been imposed upon by those who have asserted that the Emperor would listea to the usurper of the crown of his daughter, the Queen of Portugal. No, he will never do it. For ourselvsa, who are sure of the firmness of the monarch, we did net stand in need of this new and solemn proof, but we are glad of its coming, inasmuch as it arrived in time to show the world that the principles of his Majesty are firm, and that no suggestions, however strong, will change the firm ness of his character. His Majesty, as a good monarch, promises to his subjects not to compromise the tranquillity of Brazil ; and well he does in so acting, because the tran quillity of the nation ought to be the first care of the Sove reign ; he should adopt all other means before he consent to alterthat tranquillity, and the Emperor has at his dis posal all the means necessary to obtain the desired end.— His Majesty is, no doubt, disposed to make every effort to place his daughter on the throne of her ancestors; he has resources of his own ; be has powerful allies to apply to. The Sectarians of the usurpation may rest assured that their bloody dominion, which they have done every thing in their power to render odious and detestable, will not be of long duration. " We have already the assurance that our lawful Queen will not go to the Brazils, as the enemies of legitimacy have wished to persuade the public. Her Majesty will continue to reside in England, where she will be the best advocate of her just cause, and where her royal presence cannot fail to produce the most happy results. We have the greatest hopes to see, in a very short time, broken upon the rocks of the island of Terceira, those miserable instruments of tyranny sent from Lisbon to reduce it bondage. The triumph which we hope to obtain from Providence, and from the well-concerted measures taken beforehand, will, no doubt, be the fatal blow that will pre vent the monster from ever raising his head." By reference to extracts from the German Papers, it will be seen that the Russians under General GEISMAR have taken by storm the fortified town of Rachova or Oriva, on the right bank of the Danube, between Nico polis and Widdin, on the 9th of June. HUSSEIN PACHA was made prisoner besides 500 men. German Papers of the 28th and 29th of June have been received this morning , their contents are unimportant. Quebec Papers to the 9th June, Montreal to the 11th June, and New Brunswick to the 27th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they do not contain any information of consequence. The Quebec Papers state that his Excellency Sir JAMES KE.MPT would leave Quebec in about a week, on a tour up the country, to Montreal, by land conveyance : _ (From the Montreal Paper of the 10th June.) We are enabled to state, on unquestionable authority, that his Excellency has given instructions to the Commis sioners of the Crown Lands to make arrangements for affording every facility to the Canadian population, who may be desirous of settling in the Township Lands. Extract of a letter from the Havannah the 28th May : The British schooner, Monkey, boarded upon the Bahama Banks the schooner Portrait, from Wilmington, bound to Matanzas, abandoned by the master and crew, supposing the Monkey to be a pirate : the Monkey con ducted her safely into Matanzas, where Captain Foster joined his vessel, having been picked up by a ship and brought here. The Chilian cutter, with a mail, arrived from Cadiz in 43 days. This day also arrived . in another, General Barrados and suite of officers; he is supposed to bring despatches, touching a movement against Mexico. Accounts from Toulon, by the French mail this morning, state that great energy is displayed here in getting ready a number of bomb vessels, and the fifth has been put into commission, called the Cyclope. From Brussels, of the 29th of June, they write that, although in time of profound peace, the Government has given orders for the safety of the frontiers on every point, and they are going to repair and augment the fortifications of Mons, Ath, Charleroy, Namur, Liege, Maes trecht, &c. They write from the Frontiers of Russia of the 15th June, that they expect the Emperor of RUSSIA soon at St. Petersburgh. Three sail of the line and several small vessels are to be launched at Cronstadt. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, and Lord CLANWILLIAM had a long conference this morning with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign Office. Despatches were delivered at the Colonial Office, this morning, from Barbadoes, dated the 19th May, and likewise from the whole of the Leeward Islands.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in disposing of this case to-day, said th a t th e ques ti on i n t h e case s Jackson against Rowe, was upon a plea of a poi' ci ase for a valuable consideration without note The cause came on before his Honour the Vice Chancellor, and he was of opinion that the pld was insufficient. It afterwards came upon appe' before the Court, and I was of opinion ale° upon a particular objection that was made to tbi plea, that it was insufficient. The case did Il state that the p ar ty p re t en d e d a t t h e t i me o f to execution of the settlement that she was seized i° fee, and I thought upon principl e , an d up on til l authorities, that on that particular ground the pi° was insufficient. An application was made P f leave to amend, by Mr. Walker by whom tl , , plea was drawn, and he stated that it O r an accidental omission of his own. I 0 said, if the other party require an affidat of the circumstance under which the 5 1 ! had taken place they were entitled to have such affidavit. An affidavit was accordingly prepargd pointed to that particular circumstance. Upon tb! I directed the amendment to be made, and an ord° for the amendment was drawn up conforMably that direction. The ground on _which I proceed" was the practice of this Court, as stated in the of Wood v. Strickland. In that case it is laid dor where a slip or mistake takes place upon a point A importance, the party shall be 'allowed- to amen d upon an affidavit being made of th e circumstanc e attending the slip or mistake, and the Court bed l informed of what the ex ac t na t ure o f t h e amer meat is to be. I therefore thought I was vd ranted by what was s t ate d i n t h at ease if permitting the amendment to. be made, t, cause the nature of the amendment was 0 1 closed, it was distinctly mentioned by the Learo". Gentleman, to whom I have referred, how the 01i ; happened, and the whole was afterwards put into; affidavit by the attorney in the cause. Asa sequent application was made for leave to make further amendment; but that application was grounded on any particular slip, nor was any affido i made of any particular circumstance attending,' Under these circumstan ces I t hi n k I s h ou ld no t v. justified, according to the practice of the Court, granting permission to make any further amendmel Mr. ROSE hoped his Lordship would di sm i s s application with costs.

THU MARKETS.-(THIS-DAY). CORN-EXCHANGE. Th e arrivals of last week consisted chiefly of a large quantity of Foreign Wheat and of English and Irish Oats. This morning there is not much Corn of any kind fresh up. The changeable state of the weather causes good Wheat to be firm at Friday's prices, so that the trade may be considered Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Barley meets a very dull sale at last quotations. Beans sad Pease may each be bought rather cheaper than on this day se'nnight. The quantity of Oats for sale is txmiderible, the quality being chiefly ordinary ; good Parcels are no lower, but other sorts may be reported Is. per quarter cheaper than last Monday.

LITERATURE. - LIFE OF LOCKE, BY LORD KING. LownoN : 1829. Among the first and foremost of our true philosophers—of those who gave themselves up wholly to the discovery and propagation of truth, and its disentanglement from error and the deceitful snares of the fancy,—is John Locke. He it was %%Ito beyond any man that ever existed (with the single exception of Bacon) shook the tyranny of the old schools of logic and philo sophy ; overthrew the casuistries, the subtilties, the small, teazing, mindless, but still imposing subtleties of Aristotle and that class of rhetori cians; and established knowledge on the immut able basis of truth. To effect this great but noise less triumph his chief engine was common sense. The rams' horns with which this Joshua of true philosophy blew down the Jericho of scholastic bigotry, was reason—cool,dispassionate, unprejudiced reason. He had little assistance from the fancy, still less from the feeling ; he appealed not to the interests, he excited not the passions, he enlisted not the vanities of man kind on his side ; he addressed himself solely to their good sense; and though he spoke to them from the elevated heights ofhis own intellect, took care that the distance at which he stood above them, should not impair the power of his exhortation. In reading the works of Locke, the first thing that strikes us—and this remark applies particularly to the valuable volume before us—is the very unassuming character of his mind. Though conversant with the abstrusest points of, thought and argument ; though full to overflowing with the knowledge, both natural and acquired, that can grace the man and elevate the scholar; though a politician, a philosopher, a physician, he never seems to be aware of his extraordinary faculties; but suffers his learning to fall naturally and noiselessly from him like the stealthy un ostentatious droppings of a mild summer's dew. His very style is humble and Quaker-like in its bearing ; replete with thought, but so easy in the arrangement of that thought ; so natural, so unforced in the style of its premises, so correct and so convincing in its conclusions; that none but the ‘, deaf adder that stoppeth her ear" can fail to be persuaded by it. One thing, however, Locke wants, and that is earnestness. He is never impassioned—sel dom impressive; he never touches the heart and the imagination like Jeremy Taylor, or fills and sublimes them like Sir Thomas Brown ; but pleads the cause of truth by the unadorned energies of his common sense. He has a grave and quiet dignity about him from which he never departs, a presence of mind and ready furnished aptitude of thought and expression that never even for an instant desett him. When we speak of Locke's want of earnest ness, we are far from imputing it to him as any very serious defect. A more impassioned style might have given him too much the ap pearance of a hot-headed partizan, and interfered with that clearness and distinctness of expres sion which we now so much admire in his works. Had he given way to his feelings, or sunk the philosopher in the man, though he might still have been the champion of truth and proclaimed her sovereignty to the world, he would never have procured her Coronation in the Temple of his own erection. It was his busi ness to overthrow prejudice and build up reason on the ruins, and this he felt he could best do by appealing to the cool undisturbed common sense, rather than to the impetuous undiscrimi-1 nating passions of society. The Memoirs and Journals of this great man, with which Lord King has here presented us, abound in entertainment and instruction. As the first, though scanty, are well known, we shall forbear saying any thing of them, further than that they present us with the lively image of a quiet unassuming scholar, whom circum stances drew forth for a time into public life, among scenes wholly foreign to his inclinations. With respect to the Journals, they consist for the most part of observations, philosophical, zoo logical, literary, and theological, made during a short excursion to the Continent. These, as might be expected from such a writer as Locke, are acute—learned—practical—taking little for granted, and every where evidencing originality. Among them at intervals are scattered reflections on metaphysical subjects, hints for the formation of character, and fragments of essays, one of which, entitled " Study," is a perfect gem, being full of thought, the result of experience_on those points which most interest mankind. In the course of this able treatise, Locke, after discri minating between false and true knowledge, and inculcating his favourite notion of ideas in preference to words, puts forth the follow ing remark with respect to study, and the way it should be followed up :—" The mind has sympathies and antipathies as well as the body ; it has a natural preference often of one study before another. It would be well if one had a perfect command of them ; but generally it is better to follow the bent and tendency of the mind itself." Sir W. Scott, in an unpublished letter (which we have seen) to a young man who requested his advice, has pre cisely the same remark as Locke. "It matters little," says this immortal novelist, " what you read ; that, perhaps, is the best, for which your inclination most fits you." We have instanced these two remarks, not so much from any particu lar originality they possess, as because we conceive ' it a curious circumstance that two such oppo site writers as Scott and Locke ; the one the champion of imagination—the other its distrust ing foe ; the one wild, irregular, discursive—the other cold, precise, logical—should yet agree on the same important subject of education. Passing by the merits of Locke as a philoso pher, which it would now be idle and superfluous to insist upon, we come to him as a humourist. In this character he is probably new to most of our readers ; we, therefore, prefer exhibiting him in it. In a letter dated Cleve, 1665, ye have the following amusing sketch of a stiff-necked Pres byterian Parson. It is manifestly drawn from the life : " I met lately, accidentally, with a young sucking divine, that thought himself no small champion, who, as if he had been some knight-errant, bound by oath to bid battle to all corners, first accosted me in courteous voice ; but the customary salute being over, I found myself as saulted 'Host furiously, and heavy loads of arguments fell upon me. I, that expected no such thing, was fain to guard myself under the trusty broad shield of ignorance, and only now and then returned a blow by way of enquiry : and, by this Parthian way of flying, defended myself till passion and want of breath had made him weary, and so we came to an accommodation ; though, had he had lung s enough, and I no other use of my ears, the combat might have lasted (if that may be called a combat, übi to cedes ego vapulo lantern) as long as the wars of Troy, and the end of all had been like that, nothing but some rubbish of divinity as useless and incoherent as the ruins the Greeks left behind them. This was a probationer in theology, and I believe (to keep still to my errantry) they are bound to show their prowess with some valiant unknown, before they can be dubbed, and receive the dignity of the order. I cannot imagine why else Le should set upon me, a poor innocent Wight, who thought nothing of a combat, and de sired to be peaceable, and was too far from my own dung hill to be quarrelling ; but it is no matter, there were no wounds made but in Priscian's head, who suffers much in this country." The following description of a poet, dated also from Cleve, is a masterly specimen of quiet easy humour. Who would expect so much arch pleasantry from the grave champion of Tole ration ? " When I left Oxford, I thought for awhile to take leave of all University affairs, and should have least expected to have found any thing of that nature here at Cleve of any part of the world. But do what I can, lam still kept in that tract. I no sooner was got here, but I was wel comed with a divinity disputation, which I gave you an account of in my last; I was no sooner rid of that, but I found myself up to the ears in poetry, and overwhelmed in Helicon. I bad almost or rather have been soused in the Reyne, as frozen as it was, for it could not have been more cold and intolerable thah the poetry I met with. The remembrance of it puts me in a chill sweat, and were it not that I am obliged to recount all particulars, being un der the laws of an historian, I should find it very diffieult to 'recall to mind this part of my story : .but having armed myself with a good piece of bag pudding, which bears a mighty antipathy to poetry, and having added thereto half a dozen glasses of daring wine, I thus proceed :--My invi sible master, therefore, having mounted me, rode nge out to a place, where I must needs meet a learned bald in a threadbare coat, and a hat, that though in its younger days it had been black, yet it was grown grey with the labour of its master's brains, and his hard study or time had changed the colour of that as well as his master's hair. His breeches had the marks of antiquity upon them, were borne, I believe, in the heroic times, and retained still the gallantry of that age, and had an antipathy to base pelf. Stockings I know not whether he had any, but I am sure his two shoes had but one heel, which made his own foot go as uneven as those of his verses. He was so poor, that he had not so much as a rich face, nor the promise of a carbuncle in it, so that I must needs say that his outside was poet enough. After a little discourse, wherein be sprinkled some bays on our British Druid Owen, out lie drew from under his coat a folio of verses; and that you may be sure they were excellent, I must tell you that they were acrostics upon the name and titles of the Elector of Brandenburg. I could not escape reading of them : when I had done, I endeavoured to play the poet a little in com mending them, but in that he outdid me clearly, praised faster than I could, preferred then► to Lucan and Virgil, showed me where his muse flew high, squeezed out all the verjuice of all his conceits, and there was not a secret co nundrum which he laid not open to me; and in that little talk I had with him afterwards, he quoted his own verses a dozen times, and gloried in his works. The Poem was designed as a present to the Elector, but I being Owen's countryman had the honour to see them before the Elector, which he made me understand was a singular courtesy, though I believe one hundred others had been equally favoured. I told him the Elector must needs give him a considerable reward ; he seemed angry at the men tion of it, and told me he had only a design to show his affection and parts, and spoke as if he thought himself fitter to give than to receive any thing from the Elector, and that he was the greater person of the two; and in deed, what need had he of any gift, who had all Tagus and Pactolus in his possession? could make himself a Tempe when he pleased, and create as many Elysiums as he had a mind to. I applauded his generosity and great mind, thanked him for the favour he had done me, and at lastgot out of his hands." Our limits prevent us from quoting Locke's account of the Elector's Christmas feast at Cleve, where he says, "as for the meats, they were all so disguised, that I should have guessed they had rather designed a mass than a meal, and had a mind rather to pose than feed us. But the cook made their metamorphoses, like Ovid's, where the change is usually into the worse." One thing, however, we must not omit noticing ; it is really very important, being neither more nor less than Locke's definition of ane plus ultra luxury. " Green beans dressed in gravy." Hear this, Ude ! Hear this, shade of the lamented Kitchiner, thou whose gastro nomic eloquence was so convincing that it could persuade a goose to roast itself! For the true simple munditiis, Locke's dish certainly bears the palm away from all our modern innovations. It is anti-pythagortean in its philosophy, and primaeval as Chaos, in its simplicity. We should observe, that thoughout his Journal, Locke invariably speaks well of the Ca tholic priests. Alluding to his letters, Lord King observes, " there exist several, dated Cleve, but as they relate to events no longer of any importance, it is unnecessary to give their contents, however amusing the Ger man description of the coyness and coquetry of a German Elector and his Minister, on those truly national and interesting ques tions, soldier-selling and subsidies." We regret that Lord King has omitted these letters. From the specimens we have already given, we are quite sure that our readers will be anxious to know more of Locke's humour ; besides, the undress of such a mind is always an interesting subject for reflection. With the sole exception of this blemish, Lord King's volume has given us the greatest satisfaction. The Journal has been selected with consummate tact, and the narrative is kept up with observations and inci dents thrown in by the Noble Biographer, which evince an extensive and intimate acquaintance with the literature and politics of the disgraceful times of Charles 11. Altogether the work is a valuable addition to the staple intellect of the country ; and were the article on " Study" alone considered, would deserve the amplest circula tion. We trust, however, that Mr. Colburn will give it to the world in a more accessible form. At present it is beyond the reach of most scholars. SMART'S LOGIC. LONDON. 1829.

The great amateur match which was made by Mr. Osbaldeston, the celebrated shot, on the part of the London amateurs belonging to the Arrow Club, and Colonel Stan don on that of the Guards amateurs, for 5001. aside, to row with the tide, from Vauxhall-bridge, through the centre arch of Kew-bridge, took place on Saturday afternoon. The interest excited by the match along the whole line of the river, was, perhaps, without precedent, and no sooner were the preliminaries settled between Mr. Osbaldeston and the Colonel, than both parties commenced active prepara tions for the contest. In about ten days, a finely constructed wherry, 37 feet 11 inches long, was built by Sullivin, of Mil Thank, for the Guards gentlemen, and on a coat of lead coloured paint being put on her, she was launched and training commenced. The fast rowing boat the Arrow was put into proper trina for the London amateurs, who took every precaution which the occasion required. Four, out of eight gentlemen, were picked from the Guards crew, and the boats were manned as follows:-- Guards Amateurs. I The Arrow Club. Captain Bentinck Viscount Chetwynd Lord Douglas Colonel Hobhouse Brumwell, steerer. Messrs. Slader Bay ford Cannon Osbaldeston Mitchell, steerer. Some time previous to the start, notwithstanding the pitiless storm, a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, dis tinguished amateurs, congregated at Vauxhall, and among the numerous Companies' boats, we observed, the Emerald, Leander, Corsair (Mr. Slader's boat), Trinity, Union, William and Frederick, and many others, several of which were manned by crack watermen. About a quarter past three o'clock, the Arrow gentlemen from Bishop's, Stan gate, and the Guards from Whitehall, pulled up to Vaux hall. Both of the wager boats received every possible at tention, as to condition for the occasion, and a steel rudder of very light construction was made for the Arrow. The Guards having taken their station from a pier of the bridge, on the Surrey side, and the London amateurs from one on the Middlesex side, at precisely a quarter to four they started. The Arrow took the lead, closely followed by their opponents, and the rain having ceased, the match created great interest, and was followed up the river by a vast number of four, six, eight, and ten-oared boats. On arriving at the Red-house the Arrow was leading the way in gallant style, and on shooting Battersea-bridge, they were about four boats' lengths in advance. Up to Ham mersmith the struggle was great and interesting, the Arrow gradually going a-head. From Hammersmith to the place of destination, between twenty and thirty gentlemen who had assembled on horseback, accompanied the head most boat along the towing-path, and the scene which pre sented itself was of an extremely animating description. The Arrow amateurs finally arrived at Kew fifty seconds before their opponents, accomplishing the distance, which is upwards of ten miles, in one hour and three minutes. A considerable number of spectators, among whom were many of rank, assembled on the Kew-bridge, and the side of the river. The London gentlemen proceeded up to Richmond, where they dined.

A CORBIE DEFEATED.—A correspondent travelling two days ago from Edinburgh to Bridgehouse, witnessed a curious scene by the road side, in the neigh bourhood of Sillarburn. A strong bird, of the Corbie or " Hoodie-craw" species, engaged in a regular attack upon a patch of bent, defended by a pair of partridges, and the retreat, no doubt, of their young brood lately escaped from the shell. Incapable of gaining his end by a direct assault, the destroyer had recourse to stratagems. He alighted, in the first place, in the grass field at a short distance from the spot of bent, where he was instantly followed by the cock partridge running, and in a very little by the hen also, by both of whom he was forcibly assailed. The wily thief having lured them from their fastness, and exhausted their wind, forthwith teok wing, and alighted among the bent. The parent birds took wing also, and in a moment placed themselves in front of him in the attitude of defiance. Baffled again, he had re course to the former method of provoking them to follow him to some distance from the bent, and engage him in battle. The birds " nothing loth" ran upon him at full speed, when a severe round took place, after which the Corbie, as before, made his way to the sacred inclosure. The defence, however, was maintained with equal re solution, till the Corbie, finding at last that nothing could be made of it, shamefully gave way, leaving the field in possession of the delighted little victors.—Scotsman. SPIRIT Or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish a statement - last - quarter's: revenue, which shows a considerable falling off •- as compared with the corresponding quarter .of.! 1828. The chief decline is in the CustomS the next in point of magnitude is exhibited by the Ex cise. The price of corn, aggravated as it has been by the Legislature demands more money for mere bread, and of course leaves less for luxuries. The growth of foreign rivalship, as respects ma nufactures, affects our imports, and with them the produce of the Custom-house.—Times. The state of Mexico, according to our city intelligence, may be characterized as a mixture Of bankruptcy and political imbecility, involving in it a constant exposure to the worst chances of daily revolution. The revolution which sepa rated the British colonies of North America from Great Britain, left the people still in pos session of, and thoroughly wedded to, an an cient system of laws, usages, and municipal re gulations, which provided for all the internal wants of society, by determining the relations between every citizen and his fellows. The frame and form of provincial authority remained completely unaltered. The delegation of dif ferent classes of representatives to a general Congress, and the appointment of one high officer and his assistants, standin g in pretty much the same character to th a t Congress as the state governors had done to their respec tive local legislatures, were ingrafted upon the old colonial system, and filled up the gap which had been created by the expulsion of the British Parliament, the British Sovereign, and his ser vants, from all interference with the concerns of the United States. Thus something was added to the former condition of things ; but the essence remained-=representative government, and power dispersed among a people who were universally familiar with its forms, its exercise, and operation. • That which now constitutes the tranquillity and pros . perity of the United States is the, free constitution of England, in. the maxims and habits of which : they were echicated ; and upon which, „in their extraordinary no less than'their every day emergencies, they rely as a - safe and unerring standard of principles, re sources, and expedients. The Spanish colonies had no healing nor protecting power to substi tute for the devouring one which they shook off: The worst of all freemen is an emancipated slave, and the most dangerous of guides is an abstract notion of liberty, for him who has seen nothing but pure despotism, in practice. We can hardly wonder that the people of Buenos-Ayres or of Mexico should be unable to agree amongst them selves upon measures of state policy, of which the consequences are only known to them through the opposite representations of individuals ready to convulse the community, so each of them can but destroy his rival and raise himself to greatness, however short-lived. It is to be feared that in none of these new Republics are materials at present to be found for steadily administering the powers, observing the obligations, and enduring the restraints of a representative and accountable Government. In Colombia, the assumption of the supreme authority by Bolivar has been the sole temporary remedy within reach of the inha bitants for misrule, anarchy, and general misery, resulting from an incurable want of virtue and wisdom throughout all classes of the population. In Mexico, perhaps in Buenos Ayres—almost to a certainty in Peru, and long since (the thing has been proved) in Chile—the vacuum caused by the an nihilation of Spanish power seems incapable of being filled up by some firm concentration of force for the creation of an executive Govern ment, vigorous and impartial in its domestic po licy, and temperate and upright towards foreign states. The only condition more deplorable than that into which their recent distractions have thrown these unhappy provinces, would be a return to the Spanish yoke ; and that is, for tunately, an event which no combination of cir cumstances can henceforth accomplish.—/bid. There are few well-informed persons at the West end of the Town who do not know the authors of the reports respecting the Lord Chan cellor, which form the foundation of the present prosecution. And yet it would be impossible for the Noble and Learned Lord to fasten the slander on the distinguished authors. Jean Jaques Rousseau, in one of his works, with a view of showing the advantage of a visit to Paris, observes that the publications of the day com• municate by no means the most interesting and valuable portion of the information in circula tion, and that much might be learned in conver• sation, of which the mere reader of books could not have even a suspicion. As far as scandal is concerned, it may be said with justice that the Press of London can give but a very inadequate idea of what is in circulation at any one time and therefore the Provincials who are fond o that commodity would do well to trust to othe sources. We do not mean to say that a tittle o that slander is to be believed ; but merely tha the responsibility of the Press will never alloy the publication of what does circulate. Sir Jame Scarlett inveighed against the Press on accoun of the article in the Atlas more than he ought t t have done. The truth is, that that article wa serviceable instead of being injurious to th Lord Chancellor. It enabled his Lordship t grapple with slander which otherwise would hay . eluded him, and to do justice to himself at th expense of the man who was simple enough t' give him the lever of which he was in want. 11 . enables him also to glance at the moral assassin who have been so long stabbing him with nu punity. Sir James ought to compliment an portion of the Press when he finds it simpl enough to play his game in this way.--Alornzu, Chronicle. We had no intention, when we first notice Mr. Wray's pamphlet, to enter so deeply int Church matters as we have done ; but we ha., been led on step by step to the point at whiir we have arrived. The merit', however, of o_ labours, such as they are, belongs exclusively the Bishop of Lincoln and Archdeacon Go, dard. The Clerical Guide will be found useful instructor to those who wish to undo, stand Church affairs. We find from it that t. Bishop of Lincoln, up to the end of 1828, K. only four opportunities of presenting to Livin, from the patronage of his Bishopric ; three ; such presentations have made pluralists; t , other was given (a fat one) to a relate, (Mortlock). By a minute inspection we fi r that Dr. Goddard has not had full justice do to him in our last. He not only holds an Are; deaconry, a Prebendary, a Rectory, two Vie ages, and a Royal Chaplainship, (over a: above his pension as an ex-Civilian), but a, an Examining Chaplainship (a good birth any one man) to the Bishop of Rochester. T will, perhaps, explain the fact of his doing for his other six Clerical Preferments no duty I yondof his relaxing i from h visiting Lincolnshire at his leisure, arduousisure,ancl i necessity hours at Kew It would be injustice to the ; t.) thi cor leL

of Lincoln to say that the shameful system of pluralism is confined to it alone. The same is observable in all, as a mere glance at any one pa ge of the Clerical Guide will spew. Let us (lip promiscuously :—F—Dr. Fisher, Master of the Charter-house, Dignitary in three Ca thedrals, and incumbent of three parishes. G—Dr. Goodenough, Prebendary in three cathedrals, with a lot of valuable sundries. H Hett, a dignitary twice over, with a family of seven livings ! I—lremonger, a dignitary, Royal Chaplain, and the spiritual pastor of five families. K—Kempthorne, a dignitary, with a chapelry, rectory, and three vicarages. L—Luxmoore ! Reader, look for the Luxmoores, and count their monopoly if you can ! M—Magendie, one vicarage, one bishopric, two archdeaconries, and eight rectories! Ohe ! Jam satis ! And these are the men who would amuse us with the ex emplary discipline of the inferior clergy. Mr. Wray has been taunted with being a beggar for public bounty. This is a falsity plus pant Clerica, as Livy would say. Nothing of the sort can be gathered from the Correspondence ; and we feel it due to the Reverend Gentleman to state, that such bounty having been proffered through us, he has declined it with as much de licacy as spirit—a specimen of Clerical con tinence and independence by no means common in this Christian world of ours. In our first leading article of Saturday there was an awkward erratum, in giving an account of Doctor God dard's Preferments. The words no residence were printed no bad end.—lbid. The account of the Income and Expenditure of the Quarter exhibits a deficiency of 347,8311., as compared with the Quarter ended sth of July, 1828. In the Post Office there has been an increase ; in the Assessed Taxes there has also been an increase ; but in the branches which serve to mark the well being and comfort of the population, there is a falling off—Customs and Excise and Sugar duties! When an Eng lishman is prosperous, it is soon felt in the Cus toms and Excise. Too much importance, per haps, is attached to the state of the Quarter's Revenue. It is impossible that the Revenue should always exhibit an increase. As to the deficiency in the present Quarter, no one who has attended to the commercial distress, which has existed during the whole of it, and before, can be surprised as to its amount. We would fain hope that matters are at length assuming a more cheerful aspect. It cannot, however, be denied that too great a proportion of our Re venue is indirect taxation, and that the country would be greatly benefited were mere of it raised directly by a Property Tax. We would fain persuade ourselves that ere long some measure of a decisive character, in this respect, will be adopted.—lbid. We this day present the Revenue statement for the quarter and the year. For the year it would appear that the falling off has been only 90,000/. ; for the quarter the falling off has been 380,000/. ; but this latter is to be accounted for, we understand, by the postponed payments, on account of the collection taking effect at a later period ; and which, we further understand, occurs every five years, amounting to 140,0001. in the quarter. For the year, it will be seen by the statement that in the Customs there is a de crease of 1,000,000/., and in the Excise an in crease of 1,000,000/. ; and it will be also seen, in the statement for the year, that there is an in crease on Stamps and the Post-office. The two latter increases may be considered as fa vourable, so far as commerce is concerned. For the quarter the decrease is on the Customs and Excise ; but that is accounted for by the reasons we have already given. For the quarter we also perceive that the Stamps and the Post office have both increased—both are favourable signs as it respects commerce. Considering all things, the statement is gratifying, and is an answer to that which has been put forth for several days past respecting " the alarming stale of the Revenue." That for some time past there has been great distress among the cotton and silk weavers there cannot be the least doubt ; but that distress, we well know, has entirely arisen, so far as the manu facture of cotton goods is concerned, in conse quence of the masses of machinery which have been within the last twenty years erected, and which masses have poured forth goods faster than they can be consumed at home—though the English people are very extravagant as to dress, take them generally—or i faster than foreigners can take and pay far our goods abroad. The same reasoning, only in a lesser degree, may be applied to the silk goods' trade. Last year, we believe, there was double the quantity of silk imported, which brought down the price, and that ma terially ; and the presumption is, that double the quantity of silk goods were made. Now, it stands to reason that if the consumption did not double, the manufacturers would be overstocked, which alone would put a stop to further produc tion. The consequence was, weavers were thrown out of employment. The fashion of late years, has been for the poor to forsake agriculture and take to manufactures. But who can blame them? for to sit and weave under cover is-much easier than to stand and dig exposed to the weather. The consequence has been, over-production of manu factured goods—under-production in such things as poultry, fruit, &c. &c. Calicoes, which at one time were 50s. a piece, are now worth 10s. Over-production by means of machinery has brought this about ; while fowls in Lon don, which, twenty-five years ago, were worth 4s. a couple, have been selling lately as high as 12s. and 18s. a couple. }ruit and many other things have borne prices in proportion.— Let any one only reflect a little when they give a penny for a small apple or a pear ; also the high prices they pay for geese, turkeys, ducks, &c. ; and then we think they will agree with us, that, if people turn to manufacturing, they conse quently forsake the rearing of pigs, poultry, fruit, &c. Mr. Robinson, Mr. Huskisson, and others, by their talk, have set people mad as to manufacturing. Every one has been striving his utmost to produce goods ; the evil, however, has cured itself, at least for the present. We hope the present Ministry will, in their places in Par liament, avoid making long speeches about com merce, &c., for such speeches always do harm, by encouraging people to trade more than they ought to trade—to produce more goods than they ought to produce. The consequences in variably are, ruin to the over-traders and over manufacturirs. At the same time it must be admitted that the country is benefitted by over production, for things are rendered so much cheaper to the consumer. We have often wished ...........,.... .. .....--- ... that the mak ers o f machines _ n and weaving spinning and weaving cloth would turn their attention to agri cultural luxuries, that so we might have an over production of fowls, chickens, geese, turkeys, pears, apples, &c.—Morning Herald. We did not expect that our recent remarks on the impropriety of the powers intrusted to Civic Judges would receive - 5.0 early a corroboration. But a case came, only a day or two ago, before the Court of Aldermen, in which those sages themselves appear to have considered that the powers exercised by their chief Law Officer are somewhat greater than they should be. But then, to mend the matter, they appear to think that they ought to possess the power in question themselves—a consequence to which we must beg leave to demur. It seems that to the last Old Bailey Sessions a man was committed for robbing his employers, in whose confidence he had been to an almost unlimited extent. No less than 33 distinct cases of peculation were proved against him to the satisfaction of the committing Magistrate, but he was indicted only upon two, on both of which, upon being ar raigned before the Recorder, he pleaded guilty, and that Learned Judge then " marked" him, as it is called, for two years' imprisonment. When called up for judgment, however, he was, by the same Judge, fined one shilling and discharged. Of this sentence, or rather virtual acquittal, the prosecutors complain to the Court of Aldermen ; and they migh just as well, we should think, have complained to Gog and Magog ; for what right either. the Recorder or the Court of Aldermen can have to dispense the highest privilege of the Crown—its prerogative of mercy—we are totally at a loss to imagine. But," say the Aldermen, " the Sentence Paper at the Old Bailey ought to be handed up to us, we are the proper judges of the punish ments or the mercy which culprits ought to un dergo or experience." Verily, gentlemen, if that be the case, why should the Recorder report the capital convicts to the King in Council ; and if it be necessary that he should report these, what right have he or you to usurp the King's prerogative in minor cases, if that which we have mentioned can be so considered? Why is the King to have the odium of exe cuting a dozen of his subjects, while the Re corder of London (chosen by the most incompe tent of all incompetent people for such a pur pose) is to have the merit of pardoning twice as many ? In this case, for instance, the Judge thinks (and who could differ from him ?) two years imprisonment a fit punishment for the of fence in question. Of course, if any features of extenuation afterwards appeared, on application to the fountain of mercy, mercy would have been shown. But no—the King of England is to lie nobody within the sound of Bow bell, and the brightest jewel of his Crown is to be usurped by a parcel of tradesmen, or their no minee. We do not use the term tradesmen in vidiously ; but we feel fully justified in using it as we do on this occasion. These very persons have, within these few weeks, instructed their Counsel, before a Committee of the House of Lords, to throw their own calling in the teeth of a most respectable witness, who was told that, because he was a tradesman, he was not a fit person to form an opinion about a bridge across the Thames. And are these the people who are to call for the " Sen- . . tence Paper" at the Old Bailey, to assume the King's prerogative, or to elect the Judges in whose hands it shall be placed ? 'We trust that a few such instances as these will convince those in whose hand the power of correction lies that there is something which wants correcting in this particular. We have no wish to see the City of London, or any other corporate body, shorn of their just privileges ; but when pri vilege runs riot, and assumes a tone quite fo reign to what it ought to possess, we trust that there is both the power and the courage in the proper quarter to check and to coutroul it.— E id. The various items of the Quarter's Revenue were added, and the official statement itself made up, on Saturday last ; and, as every one who had paid the slightest attention to the state of the country,—to the extreme depression under which trade had laboured,—and the melancholy reduc tion in the wages and comforts of the working classes—had anticipated, there is a great falling off, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1828. In that year the Revenue of the quarter ending the sth of July amounted, in round numbers, to 12,364,0001. This yearit does not much exceed 12,000,0001., leaving a defici ency in the present quarter, as compared with the quarter for 1828, of about 350,0001. The great cause of the deficiency is to be found, as might have been anticipated, in the two departments of Revenue which have been justly considered as the best tests of the real state of the community—the Customs and the Excise—the former being deficient to the amount of about 350,0001., and the Excise in a sum of about 150,0001. In the taxes also there is a small deficiency ; and thus the proof is complete, that, instead of the Revenue in creasing, as it ought to do, and as invariably happens, in a thriving community, it is decreas ing, and that the national capital is daily under going diminution. The sums which we have mentioned as decrease of Revenue on the quar ter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1828, amount to upwards of half a million ; but in other departments, which frequently speak as much to the distress as to the comfort of any part of the community—the Stamps, the Post office, and some other departments—there is a trifling increase; so that deducting the increase on the latter from the decrease on the former, there will remain, as we have already observed, a total decrease on the quarter as compared with 1828, of about 350,0001. Far be it from us, in making these statements, to impute any blame to his Majesty's Ministers. The foundation of the evil was laid before they came into office ; and the evil itself, we fear, is of that serious and per manent nature which will only admit of being remedied by a series of judicious measures, for the application and success of which time is in dispensably necessary. But it is not a little amusing to witness the means employed by the Government organs to persuade the country when it is " ill " that it is really " well "—when it is "sick " that it is " in sound health "—when it is " utterly distressed " that it is " very thriv ing." One of these organs finding that a com parison of the Revenue for the quarter ended yesterday with the corresponding quarter of last year, tells so severely against a pros perous condition of the country, reverts to the year 1827, and finds an immense fund of consolation for its readers in the fact that the Revenue of the present quarter is only less than the corresponding quarter of 1827 by about 50,000/. ! This ruse de guerre will probably remind our readers of certain Gallic commanders about the middle of the last century, who, instead of adding to the national laurels by the achievement of splendid victories, first contented themselves with saving as many of the carcasses of their soldiers as they well eould, and at length, from utter inability to accomplish more, not only con sidered it a fine thing to effect a retreat, but actually congratulated their Sovereign on the brilliant retreats they had been able to effect Our cotemporary next refers to the expectations held out by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer ;—as if any one cared a straw about the expectations, or the fears, or the statements of that Gentleman ; and finally informs us in well-set phrase, and rounded period, that " the depression is temporary," (it has already lasted four years!)—that it arises more " from want of commercial confidence than from any real want of capital," (which means, we take it, that there is at the present time no profitable employment for capital, and that those who have money will not in consequence lend it !)—and, lastly, that when the present " temporary depres sion" is "removed, our resources will be found un impaired, and our commercial and manufacturing interests placed on a more sound and safe founda tion than they have hitherto stood !" What the last sentence means we have really no means of ascertaining; unless, like a late Archdeacon in the East, who, after trying himself to the utmost to define " confirmation," concluded at last by de claring that " confirmation" was "confirmation," our cotemporary intended gravely to inform the public, that when the country has again returned to a state of prosperity it will be again prosper ous—a truism on which it did not require even his authority to satisfy it. But to conclude. The Revenue is i❑ a declining state, and if it were not, the public would still refuse to be convinced that it was not. It knows but too well that the state of the country is not what it ought to be ; and it knows also that this state is not attributable either to the present Ministry, or the Ministry which went before it, but to an extravagant expenditure of the national wealth during upwards of thirty years— to ruinous wars, and to a total want of eco nomy in almost every department of the State during years of peace—to bad management of the public funds—to iniquitous interference with the natural course of trade, and many other causes which might easily be enumerated ; and it knows also that what our cotemporary deno minates " a temporary depression, is a " per manent depression," which cannot be removed either in a day or a year, and for which the best, and indeed the only feasible, remedies, ate a judicious use of the public income—a reduction of taxes, and the opening of new markets for the manufactures and produce of the country. The public, we say, knows these things, and it might have been wiser in consequence, on the part of our contemporary, to have directed the attention of Government to those matters, instead of hold ing forth grounds of consolation to the public which can neither impose upon it, nor in any way alleviate the pressure of the difficulties under which it labours.—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—On Saturday a young man of respectable appearance a n d conne c ti ons , name d .._ _ Robert Jones, was charged with having forged and uttered a cheque for: 1541. on the bank of Messrs. Williams and Co., Birchin-lane. Mr. Gates, So licitor to the Committee of Bankers, attended for the prosecution, and produced the cheque passed by the prisoner, dated Nov. 3, 1827, purporting to be drawn by Charles Woodward, a solicitor, Broad street, on Messrs. Williams and Co. for 154/. The prisoner has been on the Continent ever since he passed the cheque, till lately, when he returned from Hamburgh to Hull, near which he had just got into a comfortable situation, when an officer was sent down to apprehend him. A clerk in Messrs. Wil liams and Co.'s bank proved having paid the cheque to the prisoner on the day of its date. Mr. Wood ward proved that the prisoner was his clerk at the time of the date of the cheque. The body of the cheque was in the prisoner's hand-writing; the sig nature was in his (Mr. Woodward's) own. He had never authorised the prisoner to fill up that or any other cheque, but he (Mr. Woodward) was agent at the time for the Gas-light Company, and was in the habit of signing his name to a great many papers, of which the cheque produced might have been one. It was stated, that on the sth of November the prisoner changed the bank-notes he received in pay ment of the cheque for sovereigns. Mr. Gates sub mitted that the evidence was sufficient for the pri soner's committal. The prisoner said he had net had time to consult his solicitor, and he had a most important circumstance to state to him. Mr. Gates consented to have the prisoner remanded, which was accordingly done. In answer to a question put to Mr. Woodward, he mentioned that he knew the prisoner's address while he was on the Continent. it was mentioned in the Justice-room, that, the prisoner and Mr. Woodward are brothers-in-law. BOW-STREET. ST. MARTIN'S SELECT VESTRY SYSTE3L—This day was appointed for hearing and deciding upon an information, which the active reformer of parochial abuses, Mr. Fenn, the bookseller, of Charing-cross, had preferred, under the 16th Geo. 11. against the Overseers of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in which he alleged that the defendants had refused to show him the parish accounts for the last year, although he had tendered the sum of sixpence, as the statute di rects, and they had thereby incurred a penalty. Mr. MINSHULL said, that he received the infor mation on Friday morning, but he had not issued a summons against the defendants. Mr. Fenn said, it was understood they were to be summoned for one o'clock this day. Mr. MINSIIULL admitted that that was the under standing on Friday, and if delaying the case further would be at all inconvenient, he would issue a sum mons for their appearance instanter. Mr. Fenn observed, that he had no objection to the postponement of the case till Tuesday next, as he had no wish to give unnecessary trouble to the Parish Officers; he merely contended, upon public grounds, that the rate-payers had a right to see how their money was expended. Mr. Mitistwm.—There can be no doubt but they have that right ; the Act of Parliament says, they may see the accounts on the payment of sixpence. Mr. Fenn—But that right is denied to me. I am shown a book of accounts which has been passed by the Magistrates in Petty Session. Mr. Stafford, the chief clerk, observed, that if the Magistrates in Petty Session had audited and passed the parish accounts, it was utterly impossible that two other Magistrates sitting there could entertain an information calling upon them to review the de cision of the former Justices; for if that could be done, after the present Magistrates had decided, other Justices might take upon themselves to re view their decisions; and so it might go on, ad infinitum. Mr. Fenn stated that the accounts had been passed in private, and the book contained only sums expended in the lump. For instance, there was a charge of 700/. and upwards, but what that sum was paid for did not appear. There was 80/. or 90/. charged for the use of landaus for the overseers during the year. Mr. Stafford said, that he had supposed that when the accounts were audited and passed by the Magistrates in Petty Session, that the inhabitants had an opportunity of attending and objecting to any of the charges. Mr. Fenn replied that the auditing and passing of the accounts was done in private, and the in habitants received no previous notice of it. Mr. MINSHULL declared that the subject should receive from him every attention, and he appointed two o'clock on Tuesday for all parties to attend. The question seems to have created a good deal of interest in other metropolitan parishes, as we ob served gentlemen from St. Paul's, Covent-garden, St. Giles's-in-the-fields, and St, George's,l3locims- bury, &c. in the office, who appeared very anxious as to the result of this preeeeding. UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY.—JONAS v. OLIVER.—This was a complaint of a Jew clothes man against Mrs. Oliver, the wife of a Mr. Oliver, of Tavistock-street, against whom a warrant had been issued, charging her with stealing a sovereign. In justice to Mrs. Oliver, we feel bound to say at the outset, that no person who heard the accusation credited the story of the Jew—but let him speak for himself. Jonas Jonas is one of the black-muz zled tribe of old clothes dealers who reside in the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane. He said, on Fri day 1 vas go to Tavishtock-street, and de lady cry " closh !" Vell, I look up at de ladish vindo►v, and I knock at de door, and vash let in to de housh. De lady shay vat you give for de closh? I shay twenty, and den twenty-five, and den dirty shilling; and she say no, dat no do; de lady up de sthairs vill have two pounsh ten shilling, and vont take a fardin less. Vell, I did wish to py de pargain to shupport my vife and tree shildren, and I putsh one pound and four half crowns on de counter, and de lady vat shay she owns de closh, come down desh tairs. She shay, yell Jew, I vill not sell de closh for less den 35 shilling. I put my ten shilling into my pocket, and I taksh out another sovereign, sho dat makes two sovereigns vat I have den, and I putsh de sovereign into de ladish hand vat comes down desh tairs. Dish lady here (Mrs. Oliver) shay to me, you shall not have de closh at all you Jew teef —but I shay I vill give de lady vat she ask, dat vas 35 shilling; but no, she vants to make a pargain herself with another Jew, and to cheat de lady vat vas upsh tairs, and she take de sovereign out of de ladish hand and trowd it avay. Vell, her husband comsh in, and he call me Jew teef, and he trowd my bat out into desh treet, he den trowd my bag into desh treet, and den by he trowd me into desh treet (excessive laughter.) Mr. MINsnuLL—Do you mean to swear that you actually lost a sovereign ?—Jonas—l shvear it by , she trowd it avay, and I vas trowd out of de housh, if I vas worsh dan trifa. Mrs. Oliver, who is a lady-like woman, said that a female lodger in her house having some clothes to sell, on Friday morning called in two Jews. They did not agree to purchase, and shortly after they had gone away Jonas came to the house without being called, and he asked to see the clothes. He offered to give them 15s. for them, and finally he rose to 30s. He was told repeatedly that not less than 21. would be taken for them ; and although he forced 30s. into her hand, she put it upon the counter, and told him to take it and quit the house. He became exceedingly insolent, and on the female to whom the clothes belonged coming down stairs, he offered 355., but was told that he should not have the articles at any price. He was again urged to quit the house, but lie grew more violent; and her husband came in and turned him out of the house. Jonas—By —, he trowed me, and my bag, and my hat, into desh treet. Mrs. Oliver declared that she never touched the sovereign, nor saw it; and, in fact, she saw only one sovereign and ten shillings in the Jew's possession, which he took off the counter and put into his pocket. The servant girl of Mrs. Oliver confirmed her mistress's statement. The Jew took out of his pocket only- one sovereign and four half-crowns, which her mistress placed upon the counter, and re fused .to take it, although the Jew thrust it into her hands. Mr. Oliver descrilied the insolent conduct of Jonas, and said it was an abominable attempt on his part to extort money. When he left the house he swore he would be revenged. The Magistrates, Mr. MINSHULL and Sir R. BIRNIE, said, that they were decidedly of opinion that the Jew had not lost a sovereign, and that he had trumped up the charge of felony either from sinister or revengeful motives. The case was there fore dismissed. bIARYLEBONE. Thomas and John Walker, two young men, were charged with stealing 1501., belonging to Mr. Bunn, landlord of the Lord High Admiral public-house, Church -street, Lisson-grove. It appeared that the prisoners visited the above house on Sunday, and dined there. They frequented the house every day from that time until Thursday. On Thursday, John Walker asked Mrs. Bunn to change him four pounds' worth of silver for sovereigns, and it is sup posed that the prisoners then discovered where the landlord's cash-box was placed. On Thursday they suddenly left the house, and shortly after their de parture, it was discovered that the cash-box had been forced open, and cash and notes to the amount of 1501. stolen. The prisoners were apprehended the next day at Fairlop Fair. They denied being the persons who had committed the robbery. They were remanded till Tuesday. ➢IARLBOROU Gil-STREET. At a late hour on Thursday evening, two women, named Mary and Ann Delany, mother and Baugh- ter, and a young man, named Thomas Phillipps, were brought, in custody of Goddard the officer, before Mr. CONANT, the res;dent Magistrate, charged with being concerned in an extensive robbery, committed at the house of Lady Charles Bentinck, No. 1, North-row, Park-lane. Ladyßentinck)eft town some months ago, leav- ing her house in the hands of an agent, to be let for six months, during her Ladyship's absence, and leaving the female prisoner, Ann Delany, as her only servant, in charge of it, or rather to remain in it until let. The house was soon disposed of to a gen tleman named Macnamara, from Wales, who conti nued to occupy it until a few days ago, when Lady Bentinck was to return, and the prisoner, Ann De lany, was also suffered by Mr. Macnamara to remain in the house while he occupied it. On Wednesday last Lady Bentinck arrived in town, at her house, and soon discovered that during her absence her wardrobe had been forced open, and her gold watch, value 100 guineas, and other articles of jewellery, such as diamonds, topazes, &c. to a considerable amount in value, had been carried off; her Ladyship also missed from the house various paintings, chiefly portraits of herself, Lord Byron, and other friends, painted by her Ladyship's own hand, and several other articles of property, and upon this discovery, Goddard, the officer, was sent for. On questioning the girl Ann Delany, the officer had occasion to sus pect her, and on being taken into custody, and closely urged on the sultject, she admitted that she had taken the things, but that she was urged to it by Phillipps, who was the servant of Mr. Mac namara who had occupied the house, and she ad- Mitted farther that the articles she stole were at her mother's house, to whose care she had intrusted them. Goddard then went to the mother, the other female prisoner, Mary Delany, and there, after a great deal of denial and prevarication, the latter gave up to him a box containing all the jewels except the watch, and which she had concealed under a heap of coals in the cellar. The watch, however, she denied all I:nowlege of, as did also the daughter; the officer found also in the house the paintings that had been stolen, and brought them away; he also discovered in the house a large collection of valuable books, which it appeared had belonged to the late Dr. Hill, of London-street, Fitzroy-square, in whose service the girl Ann Delany, it seems, had lived up to the Doctor's death, and for some time after was continued in charge of the house, until it was disposed of. There was a great quantity of house-linen besides found in the old woman's house, of a quality that never could have belonged to her, with the marks evidently picked carefully from the whole. Having lodged the two female prisoners in safe custody, the officer preceeeded next in search of the young man PhiHipps, and succeeded in catching him within five minutes of the time that he was to set off to join his master, Mr. Macnamara, who had already gone off some days to his residence in Wales, leaving the prisoner to follow him. The young man, however, positively denies that he had any thing to do with the robbery, directly or indirectly, or that he in any way instigated the girl Ann Delany, as she had represented, to commit the offence. Lady Bentinck attended before the Magistrate, and identified the articles of jewellery, &c., produced as her property. A pair of gold shoe buckles, pro duced, her Ladyship identified as belonging to Lord Charles Bentinek, although the old woman Delany told the officer that they were given to her by a re lation many years ago. The prisoners were all remanded for re-examina tion on Tuesday next. LAMBETH-STREET. Eliza Briggs and Thomas Briggs, her father, were finally examined, charged, the former with having, so far back as the 12th April, 1819, robbed her mistress, Mrs. Eliza Taylor, of 651. and a jewel case containing trinkets of diamonds, pearls, &c.; and the latter with having instigated her to the com mission of the robbery and having received its pro duce. A short time since the male prisoner took a warrant out against a member of his family for as saulting him; and suspecting that the female pri soner would give evidence on behalf of her brother, which would invalidate his complaint, he went to Christian, a constable at Stepney, and informed him that his daughter had been concerned in the robbery at Mrs. Taylor's, and admitted that he had himself received its produce. The officer, although dis gusted with the profligacy of a father being the in former against his own child, and that too on a charge that affected her life, took her into custody; l and on applying to Mrs. Taylor found that the in ! formation was too correct, and that the robbery had actually taken place at the time and place mentioned to him. The father was subsequently apprehended. Mrs. Taylor stated, that on the 12th of April, 1819, the female prisoner pretended that thieves had broken into the house, and on the premises being searched, the property above stated was missed.— The constable proved the confession made by both prisoners, and they were committed. THAMES-OFFICE A young fellow named Page, plying as a sculler at the Tower, was charged by a gentleman under the following circumstances : The complainant wanted to go by the Pearl steamer, to Gravesend, and entered defendant' s b oa t to be put on board her. Defendant, when he had got him out into the stream, refused to put him on board the Pearl, but offered to take him to the Eclipse. This he refused, having some friendS in the Pearl, and peremptorily ordered him to row to that steamer. The defendant said he would see him first, and rowed him alon g side the Eclipse. He then offered him 4d., his fare :but he refused to take it, and demanded 6d.; this was resisted, and the defendant very deliberately rowed him ashore again. He then gave his card, and refused to pay any thing, when the defendant drove him into a corner, used the most desperate threats, and detained him for an hour and a half, surrounded by all the vagabonds of the Tower-stairs, who alternately amused themselves, jeering, abusing, and threaten ing him. The defendant repeatedly shook him by the collar, but did not strike him. Mr. BALLANTINE remarked, the complainant must have had very considerable command over his tem per : many men would have broken some of their heads. The complainant said he was actually in fear, such was their outrageous conduct. The defendant being called upon to give some account of himself, said, " Vy, I van't sarcey : I don't think as how that sixpence is too much for rowing a man to the steamer." The complainant said some of the watermen were employed by the opposition packets to the Pearl, and actually frightened the passengers into whatever steamers they pleased. Very little if any safety at tended the embarkation or disembarkation of pas sengers at the Tower-stairs. Mr. BALLANTINE said these Tower.stairs water men were not to be trusted any where; there were some few exceptions, but as a body their conduct was most disgraceful. He fined the defendant 203. and costs. A person in the office said the defendant, a few days before, was convicted before the Lord Mayor. So much for the efficacy of these fines. Simon Inganni, an Italian, was convicted in the penalty of 100/., for having smuggled tobacco and spirits in his possession. This is the second time within six months the defendant has been convicted in a like penalty for a similar offence. UNION-HALL. A Captain in the Navy, who is an elderly man, and has a large family, was charged with having assaulted a girl fourteen years of age, named Ann Willis, with intent to violate her person. The com plainant stated that she lived servant with the pri soner, and that on Thursday morning at six o'clock, while she was washing herself in the kitchen he acted towards her with great indecency.—(She de scribed the particulars, which are unfit to meet the public eye.)—She, however, admitted that she did not complain of his conduct to her mistress or any of the other servants in the house during the day. On the same evening he repeated the indecency towards her in the same part of the house; and she accounted for her not alarming the family, by describing that she was in such a state of agitation and fright at the time, that she had not the power of speech. On going home the same night, she complained of the Captain's conduct towards her to her mother. Her mother corroborated the latter part of her statement. The prisoner denied the charge, and said it was not likely he should attempt to commit the offence, when he had a family of children in the house. Mr. HONE said it was his duty to protect children snch as the complainant from the attacks of ruffians, and he should consider it his duty to hold him to bail for the offence. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

On the previous night the prisoner created a great disturbance in a public-house, and the watchman having been called in to turn her out, she gave him a most violent blow on his arm, which snapped the bone in two. The witness who proved the ease, when asked if the prisoner had any thing in her hand when she struck, replied—" No, your Honour—nothing but her fist." THE BLACKHEATH MURDER.---On Satur day morning, numbers of the inhabitants of Blackheath, Lewisham, Greenwich, and the places adjacent, assembled about the house of Mr. DAVIDSON, the Yorkshire Grey, Limekilus, to witness the funeral of MARIA LA➢MROURN. About four, all being in readiness, the procession set out towards Greenwich Church. It moved on at a very slow pace, and upwards of 1,000 persons were assembled. On reaching the burial-ground the corpse was met by the Rev. Mr. MarritEw, the vicar, who read the Funeral Service, after which the coffin was consigned to the grave, Mr. DAVIDSON, the late master of the deceased, although he did not follow as chief mourner, attended to see the body safely deposited. It was expected that MEatti Lam noua.N, the daughter-in-law, of the unfortunate woman, who lives in the service of Mr. PLACE, at Charing-cross, would have followed the remains of her hapless parent to her last home, but she was prevented through her con tinued indisposition, produced by the melancholy affair. A Ricu MENDICANT.—A gentleman see ing a miserable looking beggar sitting on a step, tying his ragged clothes together, and commisserating his situa tion, gave him some money, at the same time telling him he was sorry to see him so poor. " Poor!" cried the fellow, affecting a look of surprise, " God Almighty bless your soul, don't you see I am collecting my rents? COUNTRY CORN_ MARICETS. DURING LAST WEEK. Wheat. Barley. I Oats.

Mr. KNAPP, who, luckily, was not so much exposed to the explosion as the workmen, escaped wit h comparatively little injury, although his hands and face were considerably burnt. The two sufferers were irate diately taken to the Infirmary, where every possible atter Lion was paid to their wretched situation. MURDER OF MRS. DONATTY.--It stated that the perpetrator of this offence, which at tlre time excited so much horror in this . country, and whiC was involved in so much mystery at the time; hair leng' been discovered. From a statement in the Hobart's Tal i Courier, Van Diemen's Land, of 14th of February last, 0 appears that a man named Joseph Moulds, of most despe rate character, after many dreadful outrages as a bulb: ranger, was apprehended with two others, and capita* convicted.

THE COLONIAL COFFEE MART was established by the West India Planters and Merchants, with a riew to promote a mere general use of the wholesome and delicious beverage of Coffee, by sujt- Plying the .Public with a very superior article at a very o)oderate advance on the import price. This system, so beneficial to the consumers of Coffee, has been duly appre elated ; the design of the projectors liberally encen raged and P r omoted by the Public ;—attracted the notice and commen - "▪ lion of the facnlty;" and the consumption of Coffee in con. " ( Ittenee has increased of late years to an unparalleled cr etin in any corresponding perio4. In compliance with the urgent request of numerous fatuities of distinction in Western district of London, the proprietors, NICOL and Co. have opened a Branch Warehouse, at 15, Rath hone-place, for the sale of pure, sound, wholesome Coffee, °elected with particular care and great judgment, and itn- PWeed direct from the Colonies by themselves, for the "°P* of these two Establishments. The present die-. tr t N eed.state of the country operating alike upon agriettl ;erre: manufacture, and every description of produce, reit .. it eonsideration worthy of notice, where the Public - tt beet and most economically supply themselves with necessaries of daily and universal consumption, of W hich Coff ee now f orms a par ti cu l ar art i c l e ; b u t though the Colonial Market has suffered and heavily par ,lietpated in the cantinued depression of every specks of business the advantages to the consumer accruing from an e reretocked and unsaleable market has not been fully ex tended to the public, nor can it, where articles have to iass through the hand. of numerous wholesale and retail deafen, rendering to each some profit ere it reach the ac. consumer.

CONTEMPORARY TESTIMONIES IN FAVOUR OF THE SPECTATOR. From a Blacicwood's Magazine" for April, ISM " North—There, James, lies the Spectator, a b eir weekly Paper of some half-year's standing, or so, of fire highest merit, and I wish I had some way of strenu .?osly recomm e nding it to th e rea di ng p u bli c . Th e Edit or , ""Ited, is Whiggish and a Pro-Catholic—but moderate, " t oady,' and consistent in his politics. Let us have no t urn-eoats.

PAYNE, the City Coroner, at the Black Bull, Bishopsgate-street, to inquire into the death of a man whose name is at present unknown. It ap peared in evidence that the deceased was brought to Bishopsgate watch-house between five and s:x o'clock on Sunday morning by a stranger, who be lieved him to be in a state of intoxication. Thomas Patch, the watch-house-keeper, laid him before the fire, and by seven o'clock he appeared recovered and went out as the watch were then going off duty. He was soon after brought in again by a patrol, who observed him sinking down on his knees in the street, and again laid before the fire with his hat under his head. He trembled excessively, and was incapable of uttering a word. He remained in this state until about eleven in the forenoon, when he was observed to be in a dying state. It appearing that no blame attached to the watch house-keeper or patrol, the Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." His dress was that of a seaman, and he had in his pockets 3d. and a slice of bread. His appear ance was that of vagrancy and extreme wretchedness. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the sign of the Two Brewers, Millbank-street, 'Westminster, before Mr. GELL, the Coroner, touching the death of Mr. William Blackburn; a tailor, of No 65, Millbank street, who terminated his existence under the following circumstances : Mr. Wm. Blackburn deposed, that the deceased was his father. On the 21st instant (Monday week), betweeen four and five o'clock, while the witness was at the back part of the house, he was called to go up stairs to his father, and on going into the bed-room, found him sitting on his night ebair by the ben-side, with his throat bleeding. He impatiently asked his father what was the matter, and the latter answered, "It is all right." Seeing a quantity of blood flowing from the deceased, the witness immediately sent for medical assistance. Mr. Keogh, a surgeon, first attended, and shortly after wards Drs. M'Cann and Mackinnon, who dressed the deceased's wound, and put him to bed. He was then perfectly sensible, but no hopes were en tertained of his recovery ; and after lingering for several days, he expired on Thursday last. About two hours after the witness first discovered his father in the situation above described, his cousin found a penknife clotted with blood on the floor near the night•chair on which the deceased was sit ting. The witness had not seen his father previ ously on that day, but he had seen him the day be fore, when he was very unwell, occasioned by a nervous disorder, attended with an asthmatic cough, which had for some time afflicted him, and prevented him from getting rest at night. The witness was of opinion that his mind was affected by his illness, as he used at times to start up in the night and fancy he had seen visions. To some further questions by the Coroner, the witness said that his father was in good circum stances, and had nothing on his mind arising from embarrassments or domestic misfortunes. lie at tributed the melancholy event entirely to an aberra tion of intellect produced by his illness. A verdict of " Insanity" was returned. DEATH OF MR. GREET, OF QUEEN- This day was published, in One Volume large 12mo, Price 96. RINGSTEAD ABBEY, or the STRAN GER'S GRAVE; with other Tales.

KIRKALDY.—We are sorry to have occasion to observe that the prospects of the manufacturing el4s•es in this neighbourhood are not brightening. Some houses are giving out considerably less work, and a good many weavers find it very difficult to procure employment. Per haps the return of sailorS and others, Who employ them selves during winter at the loom, may make the scarcity Of work the more felt at this time ; but it is evident that, since 1825-26, trade has not been so depressed in this quarter as at present. It is so far x•ell that during this dullness, no reduction has recently been made in the prices of weavitlg i , k ud that-provisions of various kinds are now cheaper than they were throughout the inuniner.—Pert/ Adv BOROUGH. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Saturday, at Queenborough, died Thomas Young Greer, the Chamberlain, and for some time past, alternate years, the Mayor of that borough. The sensation caused amongst the inhabitants by the unexpected news of this person's death was such, as it is to be hoped no functionary's life or conduct can ever again occasion in any part of this country. The demonstration of feeling amongst . . he fishermen and others, who are little accustomed to disguise their sentiments, were perfectly ungovern able. A large party of them ran to the town flag staff, and endeavoured to hoist a flag, but the hal liards gave way; they succeeded, however, in getting up colours. An attempt was made to get possession of the keys of the belfry of the church, with the intention of ringing a peal, but they were prevented. Boys and children ran about the streets with what ever they could get to wave as colours. At night the poor people did as much as their poverty would enable them to do to make up an illumination; 11114 at the public-houses the general feeling was exhi bited without restraint. On Sunday, however, the ebullition subsided, under the influence of the seve ral pastors, and the whole of the people became calm, and returned to their former excellent order. During Monday the same quietness continued. These extraordinary manifestations did nor excite the slightest surprise in that part of the country, or indeed in any persons acquainted with the past and present condition of that wretched borough. In explanation, it may be requisite to state, that he was considered to be the prime mover of all the mea sures which tended to depopulate the borough : and it was constantly a subject of complaint and outcry that his conduct as a Magistrate was in conformity with those measures,:and that to the poor burgesses he was inexorable. Witnesses, who attended to . give evidence on the trial at Maidstone, with re spect to the rights of the burgesses, as put in issue on the trial of Skey, the fisherman, were prepared to prove that at theti me when the whole town was in a state of starvation, from being shut from their means of livelihood, their fisheries, the Mayor threatened further additions to their sufferings._ During the winter, when several burgesses had li terally perished for want, and the great body were saved from starvation by public subscriptions, his course was still pursued with astonishing resolution, and his threats of "further punishment," as he called it, were unabated. This winter brought with it a renewal of the former sufferings, and it was stated throughout the town (how truly we cannot pretend to say) that but three days before his death, he had declared he would starve the burgesses nine years longer. An opinion prevailed that he was desirous of provoking the people to violence, in order that he might the more effectually cut then. down; and this belief, perhaps, contributed to the maintenance of peace, under circumstances of exas peration, which rendered its preservation a matter of astonishment. The poor fishermen were, by their brethren of other places, often reproached for then pusillanimity, and they were told that in other places such tyranny would not for one day escape (what they considered) its just consequences. The history and character of the deceased were equally remarkable. Ile was formerly a common s silor in the preventive service, where lie was dis tiuguished for his intrepidity. He afterwards mar ried advantageously, and took a public-house in the borough. He then became a patriot, and asserted the rights of the fishermen against th• select body of self-elected jurats. At an election which occurred he became instrumental in returning two members in opposition to them. He soon, by determined per severance, made the places of the select body too hot for them, and the majority resigned. lie was then appointed a just, and a majority of his friend. got upon the bench. He ever after kept in a majo eity, who were directly dependent upon him, or in terested in supporting them. As soon as he was firmly in power, and irrespoesible to the pecple, his conduct underwent an immediate change. -. His vessels were employed by the Board of Ordnance, and at the ensuing elections ministerial members were returned, lie enforced a code of lasyS for the i .. geverntreet of the UV: 14'.4raiA?

The sentence itself was popular, and he obtained applause. His con duct, however, with relation to the fisheries, was such as to cause resistance, and at the last elec tion an independent member was returned, to the exclusion of an Ordnance member. Subse quently, the select body passed a by-law that none should work at the fisheries withnut their permiii sioo. Colourable permission w.te even to a few only of those who voted against the Board of Ord nence interest : the great majority were exelusled remorselessly from their means of liveLhood. The tendency of these measures was obvious. By re ducing the number of burgesses more complete com mand was obtained over those who remained ; by changing the situation of the select body from that laid down by the Cl aster, as trastees end ndinitais tredve officers for the benefit of the tome' tt.; !het of proprietors; ani by reducing the number of frala proprietors, and in fact by divefiting the red:l4 number of the character of joint-propeietees to te4tt of mere hired labourers, the return of funds in.() the hands of the select body became pi optirtienably larger. This was the by-law brcheq through by one of the fishermen, w ho, when prosecu eel by the se lect body, obtained a tiiumphant verdict eg,inst them. The select body, having the command ttf the corporate funds, still persevered, and refused ether to stock the ground with brood oysters, or to tit`eit the burghers to participate in the produce, unftree they signed a paper, which world virtually yirl,l tip to the select body the proprietary right* to the fisheries. The resistance of the people, as the public are aware, brought famine into sbe teem during the two last winters. At the beginning of last week, intelligence was brought to London' that 310 persons wet e in the borough in the most wretched and desperate eondition, RETRENCHMENT IN A PitiLGTICIri. SHAPE. (From the Scotsman.) Intus babes, quod poseis.—Orin. Among other evils, arising from the immense magnitude of our taxation, there is this, that it reconciles us to many individual cases of n:as:o and extravagance, which might be remedied, and multiplies the obstacles to retrenchment, both on the great scale and on the mall. When a practical saving is pointed out, if it is largq, the public may be zealous for it, but the Govertotl!t is, averse to such a sweeping change ; and if it Is' small, it is impossible to get six individuals to interest themselves in the matter, becatie no one sees how it is to produce any sensible relief to himself or others. Besides, much molestation teaches persons to economise their feelings as well as their time and labour. When we hire the conviction ever present in our minds, that such an overgrown revenue system as ours must abound in abuses, prudence dictates that we ought not to discompose ourselves excessively about some single grievance that is incidentally brought forth from the masr, and obtruded on our notice. In short, between the immobility of Government, and the apathy of the publit, a► hundred economical reforms, which are perfedly practicable, remain unaccomplished. It lra,s often occurred to us that the benefits of rctrei.:)•- , ment might he rendered more tangiae, by placing specific savings against specific taxes, and shewing the public the task and the reward, the bane and the antidote, in juxta-position. We shall endeavour to render this intelligible by a few examples. Every body knows that there is an officer called Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who has 30,0001. per annum for enacting the part of a state pageant in Dublin. When the sister king dom had an independent Legislature, there was at least a pretext for having such a functionary, but now there is none ; for as his Lordship de cides in no matter of importance till he has re ceived instructions from London, it would evi dently save both time and trouble to make the parties interested correspond directly with the Treasury. The office, in truth, was spared at the time of the -Union, to soothe the vanity of the Irish, by keeping up the phantom of a sepa rate Government after the substance was gone. Let us then suppose the Lieutenancy abolished, the question is—what shall we do with the money saved ? Throw it into the Sinking Fund ? No certainly ; for who cares a pinch of snuff about adding 30,000/. to a fund which may bring relief to our grandchildren, but will bring none to us. We would give it a different des- tination ; we would select from the list of our taxes some one of corresponding amount, and repeal it. For example, if we take the tax on Almanacks, which yielded last year 30,7181. : by abolishing this useless office we may en able every poor man in the kingdom, to get an article which neither poor nor rich ought to want, but which at present is beyond the reach of thousands to whom it would be useful. The duty on Almanacks is ls. 3d. each, the conse quence of which is, that one of the very smallest size costs 2s. 6d. Repeal the tax, and we think we might give a guarantee, that the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, would pub lish one of these most necessary manuals at fourpence or sixpence. Now, we ask, whether it is better that bine-tenths of the people of Britain should want Almanacks, which answer a thousand questions as to Times and Tides, or that Ireland should be deprived of a State pageant, who has not even the merit of answer ing a single question, till be communicates with his masters in London ! Our countryman, Lord Melville, by no means a bad man, enjoys the sinecure of Keeper of the Privy Seal, for which he draws 3,0001. per Annum. As he has another office with a large salary, we see no hardship in depriving him of this; and in casting our eye over the table of the Custom duties for an equivalent, we find that by this means every good housewife might have A Scigo_ pudding (a favourite with Dr. - Redgill) At half the present price! We admit that Sago puddings are not indispensable to the hapriness of " the general gender," but neither i• Lord Melville's sinecure ; arid if the question were whether sago puddings should fall vim half, or his Lordship draw a salary which he does not work for, and ought not to need, we would ccr ;mini), on the " Greatest happiness" principle, leclare for the pudding ! We give this as an example how the value of small savings may be exhibited in a tangible shape. In the Finance Book for last year, we find [14,8001. put clown as nitereht paid by us, tin a Russian loan in Holland. Since the Non hen, Autocrat is at this moment tiqueezing !alga sums out of Turkey and Persia, we thildi cannot make * better use of the money than by :lischarging his just debts, or at least i4;411.; the burden of interest upon himself.

Int - 04 Arlen consider wheth er it i s b e tt er Di tliy - Aptild get this relief, or that our verninent':Sliould be generous to one who, as many think, has been very ungenerous to our ancient allies the Turks and Persians. In the Irish expenditure, we find 13,500/. put down for 6 ' secret services in detecting treason able conspiracies," which, thanks to the Duke of Wellington, are now plucked up by the roots, by one act of justice and policy. Ireland should in future need as little of such " services " as Scotland. Away, then, with this item, and as a compensation, Cocoa and chocolate, valuable as articles of medical regimen (9,1001) may come in duty free ; and ginger, a healthful con diment (4,2001.) " shall be hot in the mouth " to many whose mouths at present it never enters. We shewed some time ago, on the authority of a Parliamentary paper, that about 400,0001. per annum is consumed in Irish grants, which are either idle or pernicious, or unnecessarily large when useful. if the suggestions of the Committee are acted on, at least 150,0001. of this will be saved. How shall we dispose of this windfall when it comes ? We would repeal the monstrous and impolitic tax on advertise• mtnts, which yielded 155,0001. last year, and by this means enable merchants, booksellers, trades men, and attorneys, to get for one shilling what now costs them six, eight, or ten ! We do not know a single impost that is more hurtful to trade than this. The sum of 66,0001. was expended last year on " Volunteer Corps," which must now be as useless to the country, as a piece of ordnance would be to a ploughman. Strike off this item of expenditure, and you can afford to part with the duty on mahogany, 72,0001. Another absurd charge is 283,0001. for " Disembodied Militia;" fbr this domestic army, though " out of the body" for service, still enjoys a portion of vitality as a burden on the national purse. Get rid of three-fourths of this, and, en revanche, let us be relieved from the vexations and ensnaring duties on " Stamp Receipts," which yielded last year 217,0001. Pray what is now the use of Heligoland, when every port from Archangel to Cadiz is open to us ? Why not give up this rock, which costs 6,0001. per annum, and repeal the duty on ashes (5,6001.) an article useful in so many species of manufacture ; or on tar (7,9001.) as a boon to the shipping interest. Canada, according to a statement of Mr, Hume's (in 1822), costs us about 350,000, • per annum of direct expence, (besides near a million more in the shape of a bounty on its inferior timber, to exclude the better wood of Norway !) adding Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Bermuda, our possessions in that region of the world cost us half a million or more per annum of ordinary expellees ; but when we also take in the sums Government is now squander ing on canals and military works there, the whole expence must amount to 750,0001. Consult the political economists, and they will tell you that these colonies area mere incum . brance. They yield us no real profit o r advan tage whatever; but they place us in the situa tion of an animal which, though it has its body en sconced in a safe corner, foolishly sends out tenia cula to a great distance, and thus exposes itself to insults and injuries, and chances of quarrel with parties with whom it has no occasion to be em broiled. Now, were these colonies started off, as the seamen say, the saving would enable Government to repeal the duty on Fire Insur ance (718 ; 0000 which is truly a tax on provi dent habits. Let all those then who pay for in surance settle the question with themselves, whether they would rather save half their money, or have their proper fractional share of the honour of ruling Canada ? _ _ Our colonies in the Mediterranean cost us 201,000/. in 1820, and Gibraltar 140,0001. more. If the latter is necessary for the accom modation of our shipping, surely -re might dis pense with Malta ; or if Malta is commercially desirable, then Gibraltar can have no value, ex cept as a trophy to solace our national pride, and a thorn in the side of the Dons. The lonian Islands, though not exactly a colony, come in for half the sum of 201,0001. but our protectorship there might be made so powerful a means of promoting the improvement of Greece, that we grudge this less than many other items in our colonial expenditure. We have no doubt however, that by adopting a more popular system of government, we might greatly reduce our garrisons, and make the islands defray the whole of the cost of their defence. Between these islands, Malta and Gibraltar, 100,0001. might unquestionably be saved. Acid to this 115,0001. for Jamaica, 346,0001. for the Wind- ward and Leeward Islands, and 40,0001. for Sierra Leone, (we spare India the Cape, tl►e Mauritius, and New Holland,) and we have a round sum 600,0001. which would enable Go- vernment to part with the whole of the duties on Glass (577,0001.) or the duty on Candles, con joined with those on Barilla and Olive Oil, both articles used in our manufactories. Our readers will understand, that the cases we have alluded to are suggested chiefly for the. purpose of illustration. Where our financial system deliberately surveyed, fitter subjects for retrenchments might no doubt be found, and taxes whose abolition .vould bring more relief. Our great object has been to chew the public how the correction of specific cases of extrava gance or profusion, may be made to contribute to their relief from specific burdens : and in this way even the smallest savings may be connected with a useful purpose. For instance, the tax on pamphlets would be counterbalanced by so small a saving as 1,0001., for it yielded only 9831. last year ; a saving of 1,4001. would cover the duty on foreign prints ; and 11,0001. that on foreign books: These two last duties pro duce only a driblet to the Government, and oc casion much annoyance to foreigners coming to settle in England, and to Englishmen returning home with libraries after a residence abroad. ERRATUM.—In our notice yesterday of an interesting publication—" The Young Lady's Book," — the word " moral," at the ninth line, was inadvertently inserted for " novel." In a recent notice of Dr. Bidick's sudden death at Hammersmith, he being . fdund suffocated at the bottom of the stairs where he had fallen down, it was stated that he had died intestate, and without relations, consequently that his property would go to the Crown. This is not the fact; two nephews have lately presented themselves. Dr. BLACK was a very eccentric :Ind irre gular man, and posse.sed a vast deal of landed property, besides houses about HammersMith, independent of much other property. The piece of ground, obtained after much struggling and litigation, to add to Hammersmith burial ground, was Dr. BLACK'S ; and during the contests he was told, rather unceremoniously, if he would only be reasonable he might be the first to be buried in his own ground. Cariously enough he will lee almost the first buried in it! His remains have been kept a fortnight above ground, and there was some talk about opening him previous to the itsterment,.._..Morning Paper. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1829. We had intended to have made some observa- tions upon the important decision of the French Judges in favour of the Liberty of the Press ; but the observations of our enlightened Paris Correspondent spare us the trouble to-day. We cannot, however, let this opportunity'passovithout expressing our deep regret that the French should have so just cause for exultation over a coi.ntry in which the freedom of the Press was hitherto sup posed to be its brightest ornament, as well as the best safeguard of personal liberty. The liberty of free discussion was the distinctive characteristic of England, and as such were her sons honoured among the nations. But can they hold up their heads now, as formerly, :and challenge the same proud respect ? We fear not ; but let the following communication answer : " PARIS, DEC. 27. " The chief subject of conversation at this moment in the society of Paris is the remark able coincidence between the two series of pro secutions which have just taken place on the part of the Ministry of France and England against some of the conductors of the public Press on the capitals of the two countries ; and on comparing the result of the two series of trials, it is, I as sure you no small topic of exultation, among the great majority of the well-informed classes in this country, to find themselves in a situation which they pronounce to be so decidedly superior to that of Englishmen, with reference both to the power of the Minister and to the general free dom of discussion. " Of the late trials in France, that which was directed against the French Courier, founded on some observations which occurred in a criti cism on a historical painting of M. Girard, the subject of which had been taken from the Bible, appears to be regarded as the most decided triumph for the cause of freedom. The writer had said that if it were possible for the frail material of the picture to survive the Christian religion it would still, independently of its scriptural origin, be a subject of sublime contemplation. This was regarded by the ad visers of the Crown as an indirect attack on the religion of the State ; and on its being brought before the Court of First Instance, the con ductors of the Paper were sentenced to punish ment by fine and imprisonment. When the case came before the Court of Appeal the de fendants might undoubtedly have strengthened their cause by disclaiming any intention to attack or undermine the Christian religion ; but, as if resolved to become the champions of the pure cause of Liberty, they contended that the public prosecutor had no right to inquire into their religious tenets, and they rested their de fence on the broad ground, that under the prin ciples recognized by the Constitution, they were entitled to enter on a free and temperate discus sion of any religious topic whatever ; and the Supreme Court, to its infinite credit, has con secrated this principle by the solemn acquittal of the defendants. " The more recent case of the Journal des Debuts bears a nearer analogy to those which have lately been brought by the English Mini stry against the proprietors and conductors of the Morning Journal. In both cases the de fendants are accused of an attempt to bring the King's Government into contempt, and in both t has been said, with some appearance of reason, that things materially different in themselves have been studiously mixed up and confounded by the public prosecutors in both countries. In the first of the three cases, for instance, against the Morning Journal, the private and personal right of Lord Lyndhurst to require a compen sation in damages for an abominable libel on his personal character, is bolstered up by the accusation of a design on the part of the de fendants to bring the King's Government into contempt. It is undoubtedly true, that such was the design of the writer in the Morning Journal, but it is more than questionable from the general aspect of the English cases, and par ticularly from the qualification appended to the verdict of the Jury who tried the second of the three, whether a mere abstract attempt to bring his Majesty's Government into contempt would have been followed by the conviction which has now been obtained. In discussing this matter with Frenchmen, I have been obliged also to hear the character of the English Press assailed, in consequence of the grave delinquency imputed to one of the defendants in the London trials, who, after framing an article universally declared to be personally applicable to the Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, should, for the paltry purpose of screening himself from punishment, have deliberately filed an affidavit, in which he solemnly denies the applicability of the libellous matter to the personage in question. On this point, I have been obliged to admit that the parallel is again unfavourable to England, and that the Paris editors, who have lately been placed on their defence, have stood on much higher ground than the individual who has thus pilloried himself in this audacious affidavit. " M. Bertin, the editor and proprietor of the Journal des Debats, a Paper which has belonged to him and his brother during a great 'variety cf fortune for the last thirty years, took an active part in conducting his own defence, and in conclusion made a very effective address to the Court, in which he endeavoured to shew, by the exiles and imprisonments he had repeatedly suffered under the Consulate and the Empire, and the steady attachment he had evinced to the reigning family, that the incriminated expres sions of " Malheureux roi, Malheureux pays," could not have been used by him with any in flammatory or disloyal design. In this instance also, hovverer, the Court of First Instance had been of a different opinion, and con demned M. Bertin, like his contemporary of the Courier, to fine and imprisonment. In his case the personal hardship would have been enhanced, although perhaps the public triumph has been diminished by the fact that M. Bertin has through life been an active and consistent but constitutional Royalist ; and during the hundred (lays had been a fugitive from his country in consequence of his known attachment to the House of Bourbon. " Upon the whole the general opinion in this country seems to be that the late decisicins in favour of civil and religious liberty have consi derably strengthened and consolidated the con stitutional freedom of the country. To give you an illustration of this feeling, I may mention an observation which was made last night, in my hearing, by a gentleman, a member of an emi grant family, who left France in his infancy, and during a long residence in England in the early years of his life acquired a decided predilection for the forms and institutions of a constitutional Go vernment. This gentleman is regarded by the Royalist society in which he is accustomed to move, as being tinged, or rather tainted, with republican ideas ; although, I am convinced, that he is at heart a decided supporter of the monarchical branch of the Constitution. He is a regular reader of the English newspapers, and it is his observations on the comparative results of these two series of state prosecutions, as he calls them, that have called my attention to the subject in this day's communication, for the pur pose of evincing the growing confidence on the part of the numerous and influential class of French citizens, to which this gentleman belongs, in the stability of the institutions of his country. The conclusion at which he has arrived he ex presses in very strong terms, saying, that while France is making rapid advances in liberty and knowledge, England is going as rapidly back ward ; and from henceforth he declares that he would rather live under the protection of the French than of the British Constitution : a de claration which is of small importance as coming from an individual, hut which I apprehend to be worthy of very great consideration with reference to the class of which he is the representative." German Papers to the 24th have been received. The Russian fleet was concentrating for the winter at Poros. The following are extracts : (From the Nurembury Correspondent.) FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, DEC. 7. Wehavenow positive information of the evacua- tion of Adrianople by the Russians, only a division of 1,500 men remaining with the hospitals. Soon after the departure of the Russians, 3,000 regular troops, that had been ordered from Constantinople for that purpose, entered the city. The Pacha of Scutari, with his Albanians, has at length quitted his position, and has commenced his march to re turn home. The frightful excesses which these troops hare committed in Philippopolis and the ad jacent country must have convinced the Sultan that it could not be advisable to put Adrianople in their power : however, the intention of the Russians in these measures of the Porte is evident. The accounts from Bucharest are very gloomy, which will not seem surprising when we consider what that city has suffered during the last ten years ; and yet every thing appeared to be reviving after the conclusion of the peace and the cessation of the plague, when the catastrophe of the 26th November entirely discouraged the inhabitants of Bucharest, and again interrupted all business.

Among the ships that have arrived at Poros are the Russian corvette the Nayarit& and the Elizabeth (a two-decker), which has been 100 days on its royage from Cronstadt. A great number of the inhabitants of Megara have manifested a desire to establish a public school, is in the other cities of Greece. They have al ready fixed on Professor Rochidy, as the head of this school. Many citizens have made liberal offers to support this useful establishment. ROME, DE(. 10.

The same observation will apply to Liver pool and many other outposts as well as manufacturing districts ; in all of which, however, it is true that business remains in a very depressed state ; and the evil is a good deal aggravated by the supposition that produce and ma nufactures of all descriptions must sustain a further de cline in value; and hence the backwardness of many ca pitalists in effecting purchases, regarding which they would not otherwise hesitate. We may here correct a mix-statement, which has found its way into some of the public Journals, viz., that such is the desire of the Bank Directors to extend the circulating medium that they have sent orders to the different Branch Banks to snake advances to the agricultural interest at 3 per cent. on almost any security. The allegation is preposterous, and is completely negatived by the contents of the private ad vices received from various parts of the country to-day. In fact sufficient time has not elapsed to allow a just idea to be formed of the result of the proposed accommodation of the Bank Directors; hut that the advances are not to be allowed, excepting on very good security, and not on leases, Sze , as described, not a doubt can exist for a moment. One great advantage arising from the establishment of these Branch Banks is, that needy persons and others are en abled to obtain loans from Country Banks on much easier terms than they could possibly do if these Branch Banks were not in existence, and that money in many instances is raised at 2i- per cent. where the Branch Banks would require an interest of 3 per cent. This has increased confidence among all classes, and we are convinced that many failures VI mild have occurred which were avoided by the facility in obtaining this pecuniary assistance by those who had ample means, though perhaps, not available at the moment, to meet their engagements.—Morn. Chron. FALL OF A ROCK.—About two o'clock on the morning of Friday week, a destructive accident oc curred at the Alum works, belonging to the Earl of Mtn.- Gaavr:, at Kettleness, near Whitby. The premises for manufacturing and depositing the alum, together with a respectable dwelling-house, oceupied by the superintendent, Mr. TRITIFITT, and gems cottages built for the accommo dation of the workmen, are situate near the sea shore, be neath a very lofty cliff, along the aide of which the public road leading to the works was excavated.—About four days before the accident, appearances were perceived which excited apprehension that a large body of earth was about to detach itself from the cliff: and these fears increasing, some of the inhabitants removed a portion of their furr,i hire, but we believe none of thorn totally quitted their dwellings. At lengtb,about the time we mentioned above, the rock began to give way from the bottom, and gliding forward, forced before it, and ultimately covered the whole of the premises connected with the works, Mr. TR eisrr's house, and all the cottages, reducing the whole to a mass of ruins, and burying them under an immense weight of earth and stones. There were on the premises at the time manufactured alum to the value of 3,0001., and also a considerable quantity of coals, ashes, &c. for the use of the works, the greatest part of which is buried in the ruins. Several of the families were in bed at the time the accident begun, but were awakened by the loud noise the rock made in fallings in sufficient time to effect their escape. They took refine on board the sloop Little Henry, Capt. RICHAnnso5 , whi c h was l a id on t h e b eac h d e li ver i ng her cargo at the tittle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. THE CASE OF TILE LATE MILS. PHILLIPS. Mr. Phillips, attended by several friends, came to this office this morning, and, addressing Mr. HALLS, enquired whether or not he (Mr. Halls) had read a letter which had been forwarded to him on the subject of a report that appeared in the Times newspaper ? Mr. Phillips said the following was the passage in the report of which he complained :—Mr. Halls was there made to say—" I must further observe, that a perusal of the documents has not changed my mind as to an expression I long since enter tained, that this unfortunate lady might possibly have com passed her own death." Mr. HA LLS—I have not read the letter, Mr. Phillip s but will do so directly. Mr. H. having read the letter, said, I aril not at all aware, in fact, I know that I never did make such a statement, for I cautiously eadeavoured not to state my opinion ; neither have I seen any report which makes me say so. Mr. Phillips—The report was in the Times newspaper the following day after I was last at this office. Mr. HALLS—I never read any such report ; I n e v e r said any ssch th i ng; neither did I ever think so; but if you think my opinion good for any thing, I am willing to state that it is quite the reverse, although, from the docu ments, there is nothing to suppose but this unfortunate lady might have accidentally taken the poison herself, as that it was given to her by yourself or any other person. Mr. Phillips—A very different statement has gone f rth to the public, Sir. Air. HALLS—I SAM on the list occasion, that I was not called upon to go ont of my way in stating what my opinion of the documents was, as they probably might be ' come the subject of consideration in another Court. I re member I was very cautious in expressing my opinion, and assigned as a reason, that if I did, it would be neces sary for me to go hrough the whole of the documents. I therefore abstained from so doing. Mr. Phillips—You are made to express an opinion in the Times report, and which report became the subject of a leading article in another newspaper,. and where the Editor reasoned on the words I now complain of. Mr. HALLS-With :his I have nothing to do; reason, Mr. Phillips, has a wide field to range in. I remember the case was extremely well reported in the Morning Herald. Mr. Phillips—lt was, Sir. Mr. Phillips, after thanking tLe Magistrate for his po. to attention, then left the office. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE, The supplies of Grain this week are small.

Yesterday Dutch Sam, the Young Phenomenon, took a benefit at the Court, under the strength of an introdue• tory " Appeal to the Sporting World," which involved the Phenomenon's twofold mishaps of his having not been paid the battle-money he fought for, and which he won on a former occasion; and his having been deprived of the opportunity of earning the late battle-money, for which he was willing to fight, and says he was confident of being able to win. The weather was certainly not very invit ing; but notwithstanding which there was a much better attendance of persons than we had anticipated, al. though, perhaps, not quite so good as Sam deserved under all the circumstances. The setting-to consisted chiefly of glove-fighting on friendly terms; and several of those called fights were not bad ones, nor did they sham the holidq-keeping with scarcity of claret. A Gentleman solicited for the family of Old Bill Rich mond, who died suddenly on Monday morning. The eldest son of Bill was present, and a subscription commenced, but we believe it did not exceed 21. It was then proposed to have subscription papers at Tom Cribb's, in Panton street, at Jem Burn's, in Old Bond-street, and at other houses, to raise a trifle for the deceased veteran's family, consisting of a wife and four children. Sam, in a short speech, alluded to his complaints, and intimated his determination to leave the ring because he could neither get money, after he 'sad won it, nor be al lowed a fair chance to fight for money when he was able and willing. He said that he had only one desire to ex press before he left the ring—that the friends of Ned Neal, as their umpire had refused to act, would name another umpire, and let the existing dispute be brought to a close immediately. Ned Neal immediately mounted the stage, and announced that his friends had appointed Mr. Henn as their umpire; and it was ultimately agreed that the two umpires are to meet at Tom Gaynor's on Monday next. Party feeling was let loose while Ned Neal was on the stage, and some irritating remarks were bandied about, but considering circumstances, moderation was observed. Ned said, to show that he was not afraid to fight, he was ready to renew the match for any sum. Sam replied, that he, Ned, in doing so, did not guaran tee that the grabbing system would not again be adopted. A friend of Sam offered to put down 550/. to make the match for 10001. a-side, but no business was done at these high figures. Ned Stockman offered to fight any man in England,'and to give him 41b., for 50/., to come off in a month. - The fact that Mr. HusiussoN and the Duke of WELLINGTON have been reconciled, and that there is nothing to prevent the former coming into office but the stare of his health, which ie extremely delicate, ie now confessed to be true even by those who calh d cur veracity in question when we first mentioned it. An Evening Paper states, that it has reason to believe that the state ment on the subject in a Sunday Paper, which it quotes, is correct, and which statement, we shall merely add, is that which we gave two months ago, and which the same extemporary then dec'arc . d to be totally without founda tion.—Morning Adver t iser. 7300KSELLtRS AND PUBLISIOS. For a considerable time past the Gentlemen cu i', nected with the higher portion of the trade of be ° , o selling and publishing, have been labouringltnd efi - - - -- • m e i ! some remedy for a system of underselling, h become very prevalent i n t h e metropo li s , and o' e d those who practice it ca ll th e tra d e ofquiekrehol iall small profits, but which the richer and more peer; ful portion of the body denounce as an unfair on indecent attack on their property, and one i c e!: lated to prejudice th em i n t h e op i n i on o f the pub '''/ This system is well k nown to most o f o ur reade r " , as the ticketing trade, under which a booksel ler ; who has purchased a t a tra d e sa l e, or subscribed rG/ a large number of a new work, instead of atvol c ° the present unfortun a t e sma ll d eman d f or the boo P i and receiving, when he does sell, the usual profit 11 2.5 or 30 per cent., chooses, on the contrary, to se at a profit of 10 or 1.5 per cent, for re ady money Every one who traverses the streets of the me t ', polis must have observed, d ur i ng t h e l a st swe p t months, a number of shops, and those of the rou: respectable kind, in which books, such at W e Waverly Novels (we mean the new small editiool Murray's new edition of Byron's Works, all 11 !

I ‘ l number of meetings, both publi c an d p r i va te, W e been held, at which the greater portion of those ie c i terested have at one time or other attended, en a'though a great many serious difficulties were t ° be surmounted, and a great many frivolous or uois ir objections to be answered, the Committee have, bl continued perseverance, succeeded in drawing oP series of resolutions which met the unanimous cow currence, on every point save one, of all those iw vited to take part in their deliberations. That one point was this :—What is in reality to be called $ new book, which would be subject to the regolw tions—and how long are the regulations with re" Mpect to it to continue in force? To deliberate 00 this point the Committee sent invitations to the trade, and the meeting was appointed to take pla ce yesterday, at th e Chapter Coffee-house, St. P aul 6 Church•yard. At twelve o'clock about twenty-five gentlernes, represeuting the principal bookselling firms in Loir don, were assembled at the Coffee-house. Among them we observed Mr. Rees, of the house of Long. man and Co., Mr. Baldwin, of the respectable firm of that name, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Harding, Mr. Sintpkin, Mr. Arnot, Mr. Bumps , Mr. Netterly, &c. &c. Mr. RICHARDSON being called to the Chair, and the original declaratory resolutions being read, Mr. BALDWIN, in a plaint and sensible address, ad' verted to the losses sustained through the practice' we have described, and represented to the Meetinif, in forcible language, the imputations which the practice of ticketing new books at low prices cast of the reputation of the general body of the trade. ft was very true that some books were sold to the trade at prices below those at which they usually re' ceived them, but when the publisher did so give them to the trade, it was not his intention to confer a bonus on the purchaser, but on the members of the trade itself. When a bo o k, f or i nstance , "og price Pub lishedat belowa to comprehend that, if the publi s h er h a d chosen to fix a price of eighteen shillings on the book,witk the, usual allowance, he would hate a better chance 01 disposing of a greater number of copies. It was to put an end to the system of unfair dealin g with th e the guinea, usual er 2 d 5 t pee r it it A t a tWas very ells , ' received property of their neighbours, who did not choose to infringe the general with rstanding of the trade, that ttehremind these regulations enforce ationsw them ereadmopostetdsly against,tricatnd,as itc ai as h Z signed, it was hoped they would prove effectual. WO regard to the question of what was to be s eonsidered $ new book, he had to propose to them a revolution, 131 which it was declared that no new book, published or reprinted within the last two years, and whie ‘i , is protected by copyright, should be sold at al 3 r: e ; loner than ten per cent. under the public a tion pri c e (and that only for ready money), unless the WA( had been brought to a trade sale by auction, O s seller being the publisher himself. This regulr Lion, Mr. Baldwin again observed, was to be strictif observed ; but it did not apply to works which, s l ' though new, had no copyright, suc h as re publire' Lions of Gibbon's Rome, and other b oo k s i n whif i the market was open to fair comp e tition, and i n which the republieation took place with the knosc:f ledge that every other bo o k se ll er m i g h t re p u bl;shi he thought the work likely to pay him. To a Reef' lotion of this kind he thought no one ought to o b i ject ; for although he was sensibl e th a t man y of th e booksellers would lose by it, in h av i ng the work left longer on their hands, still their loss would be trifling, compared with the losses of the publisher e; and on an occasion of this kind, there must mutual sacrifices. After observing that this Ro°- lotion was to take effect from the 29th of December' and that 650 booksellers had signed it, williol 4 to abide by the regulation, Mr. Bald w i n c onclude c d i by hoping, that this explanation of th e i r e ff ec t soul be satisfactory, and also receive their assent ; for b e was confident they would benefit the trade now, and ultimately tend to increase the price of all book . whatsoever. A long conversation then took place across the table, on the subject of particular works; which, although new, and coming under the denominati O° of those mentioned in the Resolution, had yet be e° , dispersed somehow or other among the trade, 11 ' very depreciated prices, although the full price O s still demanded by the publishers. (We a bstain from particularising these books, because, as thol e named included some of the most popular new works of the day, we should consider it a violati° of the private property and rights of the possess Ora to state the sums at which they were sold to OI L . trade). In answer to m an y i nqu i r i es f rom holders of books of this d escr ip t i on , i t was s tate" that the Resolutions were not to be retrospectiv e ' but, that in future the Co mmit t ee wo uld cons ider I ` member who signed the resolutions to b e bO un d 1 1 °' to buy at any sale a lot of such books, with the tention of disposing of them under price. 08 might, of course, buy them if h e a dh ere d to t° 6 i publication price ; but if he felt he could not "e l ; them so, he must avoid that lot alto ge th er . It w a s also stated, that no one who signed the Resolutie ll would be allowed to ticket a new book on any ti c ' count whatever, but that the regulations with r e ' spect to the ticketing of books of other description s were to be the same as before ; and it was adde d ' that if a Bookseller signed the Regulations and irr. fringed them, lie would not afterwards be allowed 10 purchase or subscribe for any new work.

M. DUPlN—Gentlemen ! the Journal des De "is, celebrated for the constancy of its attachment and the vivacity of its antipathies, justly claims the honour of never having varied in its attachment to the Bourbons and its devotedness to the true inte rests of the Restoration. It has, above all, well served both in constituting itself more particularly the organ of those Royalists, endowed with pa triotism and discernment, who, connected with the benefits and the hopes of 1814, soon perceived and proclaimed aloud, that henceforward the Throne Could find no solid support but in the sincere and frank alliance of legitimate royalty with the consti tutional liberties which the intelligence of the age and the wishes of the country equally demand. En tered into the wide career, guided by feeling and conviction, the Journal des Debar applauded itself for having uttered a cry of alarm and grief at the - a PPearance of the triumvirs of August Bth; a cry danger pr o p ort i one d its love of the King to the u a t tlee with which it thought France was threatened fen it saw in their accession to power the triumph entl ,thepr to oc e e n e a d b ir l i e it gsoftow hiche ll ct .er .t e he s U rnts i known amictin g prospects. Better than any other person, the courageous writer who edits the Journal des Debar knew by what men the King was besieged, by what coun cils it was attempted to lead his wisdom astray, and surprise his benevolence; he knew—he had seen in Privacy—h e had heard express themselves freely those men whose prejudices (respectable in some On account of their extreme age, their religious character, and their good faith) are not the less a sourc e of mischievous errors and delusions; he knew also that other species of men, as perfidious as basely i nterested, who make every thing subserve their own ambition, their selfishness, end their insatiable cupidity. It was then to warn, not to wound, not to outrage, that M. Bertin, the elder—this Roy alist, firm in exile and in prosperity—charged one of his assistants, of whose attachment to the dy nasty he was well assured—M. Becquet, a Royalist volunteer of March 20—to write an article which "light r e p resent t h e i r mutua l op i n i ons , an ar ticle he made entirely his own by revising it; in which the lively expressions of grief and regret, of unea siness and anxiety for the interests of Charles X. ar e not separated from those of the country, and in Which the Editor, uniting both in the same senti ment of affection and of fear, exclaimed, in the ac cents of a faithful but profoundly afflicted subject, " Unhappy France ! unhappy King !" The article was written in haste and on the spur of the moment, tinder the influence of the event, in th e midst of the agitation which the circumstance had caused; I know not • if in the haste, tinder the emotion so strongly felt by the author, under the dominion of his personal feelings, augmented by the general agitation of the public mind—l know no t that th e pen of the Editor has misrepresented his thoughts ; • but it is certain my client has always affirmed, and is ready now to affirm, that his inten tion and that of his young friend were never more Pure ; both believed that they were fulfilling a duty commanded by the force of circumstances ; they had no desire to offend the person of the King—God forbid,—whom they highly honour; they only de plored an error, which they regarded as mischievous. They did not pretend to doubt the constitutional Power of the Throne, of which they have always in need declared themselves the defenders, but to rouse the public attention, and that of the Prince, to the probable manner in which the new Ministers would govern France, pointing out before-hand, in the sin cerity of their conviction, all the dangers which might result to the King and to France. An accusation, however, was brought against the Journal des Debats, an accusation altogether politi cal—an accusation of predilection ridiculed' in pre ference by the Ministry, as an expiatory sacrifice, an holocaust to the manes of the Administration before the last—a lesson to be taught to those who had be en called by its predecessors men who were guilty of defection ; a terrific warning finally to those other a uthors who, not having the same service to the Bourbons to plead, must expect to find still more rigid justice. The chief Editor was carried before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, and he was sen tenced to be imprisoned six months for the imputed crimes of ofence to the person of the King, and of attacking the royal dignity. Without any doubt the person of the King is in violable; without any doubt his person is sacred— sacred in itself, and by the august title of King—by the single fact of his succession to the throne, inde- Pendent of his coronation. This pompous ceremony, in times of ignorance and superstition, might have been improperly con sidered as conferring the crown and the royal power by the hand of a priest ; but in times more enlight ened as to the independence of the civil power, and since our ancestors proclaimed an order to prevent the Church from saying that it had a right to take away what it had bestowed, as a fundamental maxim' that the King of France acquires his right from God, and his sword and the law alone—the Coronation has.only been considered, in its true point of view, at a purely religious act; and in this character de serving of our respect, but not affecting in anything the essence of royalty, which might be omitted or deferred, which added nothing to the political cha racter of the King, to his natural and legal power, and to his immediate and absolute inviolability. If his person is said to be sacred, it is only to affirm at all times his holiness, and that he is most venerable in our eyes. This inviolability, however, has no thing in common with the crime imputed to M. Benin, as offence to the person of the King. The whole article, the Advocate contended, was written in a spirit different from that imputed to it. As for the words " break the vow of confidence and attachment," he justified his client by the example of M. de Polignac himself, who, writing in the Con servaleur in -1818, and speaking of the King taking away from Monsieur the command of the National Guard, used the phrase—" such a measure loosens the bands which united the National Guard to the Throne." The Advocate also quoted the circular or M. de la Bourdonnaye, which speaks of" reviv ing confidence;" and a phrase of M. Cottu, who had said it was " that the attachment of the nation Mightobe reconquered ;" and as M. Cottu's advice had not been followed, this attachment is not yet regained.—(Laughter.) I may even quote M. Syrie'yrde Mayrinhac, who, after having said that the King has many enemies, has been placed at the head of the Police to look after those he believes to be the enemies of the King.—(Renewed laughter.) M. DUPIN then showed that to criticise the com- Position of a Ministry was not to attack or doubt the King's prerogative, but to use a legitimate right. It was said the Ministry have done nothing, but there was cause to fear. Long articles of mad de clamation had declared that the majority was the King —the doctrine of Divine power has been re vived; and into this new confession of Augsburgh a doctrine had glided, which substituted a Dictator shop for the Constitution, extinguishing the limited Monarchy by putting force in the place of right, arid by lifting the power of the bayonet above the holy authority of the laws. They pretended to form a majority sometimes with the King and the Chamber of Peers against the Deputies; sometimes with the King and the Deputies against the Peers ; and 'leaven preserve us from a third combination !—for under such a system every thing is possible. If a single stone of the social edifice is touched, the whole may fall to the ground. And how can e expose ourselves to this danger, when there are two' exiles to prove that legitimacy is not a sufficient secuyity against the -strokes of fortune ? At the bottom the trial proceeds from nothing but the ma lice of the Ministers, who, under the pretence of re venging a pretended insult to the person of the King, have only endeavoured to take vengeance for an l o re in' ' and t° o ne d$ ula. the s ce ttl'o Ong rig. irm Fir. lug, ad cee no the ive fer the TRIAL OF THE JOURNAL DES DEBAT& offence to themselves—to intimidate the Constitu tional Press, and create that silence which seems peace to them. Hence the numberless accusations against the Press in Paris and in the Departments, and the declamations of which it is the object. by a party which has never been in power without re quiring the censorship and laws of exception. In our laws, the Press has merited well of the coun try, for it has watched over its interests during the cessation of Parliament. " The liberty of the Press," said the present Keeper of the Seals in 1819, " is the spring and the support of Represen tative Government ; it is our object to strengthen that species of Government, and we must endure the inconveniences of the Press for its advantages. Can7we hope to obtain, after a revolution and under the Charter, a silent deference for the acts of Go vernment? Can we hope to keep down the Press, when an impotent opposition in ancient France only aggravated its unfortunate effects ! Opinion has governed here from the sixteenth century; fac tions invoked it, and authority found a support in it against factions. Satire was even more powerful against the Leaguers than the sword of Henry IV. It was to opinion that Louis XIV. had recourse in his reverses, and from it he obtained resources in 1709 and 1710 against the arrogance of his ene mies. England was violently agitated as long as authors and their works were prosecuted with se verity; arid the agitation ceased when thought could take its boldest flight, without dread of a Govern ment prosecution. By prohibiting the publication of any writing riot authorised by the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London, James L only tempered the weapons of which fanaticism made use to destroy the throne of his son. Did the execution of Sydney, and the bloody decision of Jefferies, se cure the power of Charles 11. and of James 11. ? If the Press had not been put down, would it not have informed these Sovereigns that a King, ma tured by misfortune, had left them the wise counsel to place their strength and glory in the liberty of their subjects ? M. Dupin concluded a long ora tion, by explaining the advantages of frankness in governing according to the wishes of the people, having for a motto, " the Legitimate Dignity, the Constitutional Charter, and the interests of France." Then those sentiments would be awakened which are now asleep, but have never ceased to exist; and the last year of a reign, God permitting, would be honoured with the same acclamations which greeted its commencement. M. BERARD DESGLAGEUX, Advocate-General, sustained the prosecution, and quoted the words, " What will they, however, do ? Unhappy France! Unhappy King," as falling within the law. "We would exclaim," he said, " unhappy author 1 who shuts himself up in his own hatreds, and raises his own passions to form those storms with which he threatens his country, and is not afraid, in appealing to discord, to take the responsibility of that which lie provokes. To suppose that the Ministers would do what the writer imputes to them, supposes the consent of the King—supposes that he would re nounce the laws, tear the Charter in pieces which he has consecrated by his oath ; but against those fears you have a refuge in the sincerity of our Kings in their promise, for they never deceive. " You have a severe duty, Gentlemen, to fulfil— you have to repress that licentiousness of the Press, which, attacking all that is most elevated among mankind, sees nothing beyond its reach, and leaves nothing unassailed. If its words were to be cre dited, feeble and isolated, it could effect nothing against objects placed so high in the general venera tion ; and after having boasted of its audacious at tempts, it excuses itself by the impotency of its blows. According to this rule, the more an object is worthy of our respect, the less it would be neces sary to defend it from outrage; the dignity of the King may be delivered up to contempt, and his au thority treated as the image of a vain illusion. You must decide, gentlemen, if these things shall be; these high interests are confided to you, arid society places them, without apprehension, at the foot of your justice -seat. We requ;re for these reasons, from M. Benin, the application of the Ninth Article of the Law of May 17, 1819, and of the Second Article of the Law of March 25, 1822." M. DUPIN replied—lt had been remarked that the Bourbons were worthy of attachment, and al lusion had been made to Henry the Fourth ; but he gave a Charter—the Charter of Nantes—to which he was faithful. It was a great calamity when the Charter was broken at a later period—a conse quence of false councils—and from it resulted op pression and injustice, the impoverishment and the ruin of the State. Henry the Fourth returned from exile with companions in distress; but he did not think of reigning for the gratification of a few—he reigned for the freedom of all. In his reign they did not send secret notes, for he had said to the foreigners-,--" Adieu, Gentlemen, but do not come back," as though he had applied to Queen Elizabeth for assistance in his distress, he would never ask in. structions of this Queen for the conduct of his in ternal Administration.—(Applause.) Soniething has been said of the recent journey of an illustrious Princess. The mother of the Duke of Bourdeaux was everywhere received as she ought to be by the French, for whom the young Prince is an object of hope. He has not seen the antient regime arid the emigration; he will be like his age—he will be sensible that the French who love their Prince, also love liberty, and that he will have to govern a nation which is proud and free. His mother may be convinced of this by the accla mations she heard on her journey, so that it will be a part of the education of the Duke of Bourdeaux. " The conclusion of the Article (M. Dupin said) related to illegal acts which were mentioned for the first time on that day. They might be easily de fended. As for illegal taxes, they ought not to be paid ; and if they were demanded of me, I declare I would not pay them. In a question of property, the State has no right to demand from me anything except what the law has given it. The remainder belongs to me. Thus, if there be no law, there can be no taxes.—(A number of voices expressed appro bation of this doctrine.)—As to the words intel ligent bayonets,' there is nothing to complain of in them. Our soldiers know the laws; they are riot mercenaries, but faithful subjects of the King, and observers of the laws; soldiers to-day, and citizens to-morrow ; and what end would it serve to in crease their pensions, if they are to forfeit all their rights, and if more than is given them may be taken from them by illegal taxes? Let us not make Pre torians now for the King against the law; hereafter they may be for an usurper against the King him self. The army is constituted only to defend the country against foreign enemiei, and - insure obedi ence to the law. It must be employed on things it can perform. A Crillon will always be preferred to Tavares, and a Viscount d'Orthez to him who could be an executioner. It is a bad game to employ soldiers in improving the State. Coups d'etat are the seditious . of Power, and will not succeed against the more than seditions of the people against Royalty. There is for Kings, as for their subjects, one means only to live . in peace—it is to respect the rights of every man—law and justice for all. Never, gentlemen, had I more confidence than I now have in your decision." The reply is said to have produced an extraor dinary effect on the audience. M. Berlin, the Editor of the Journal des Debats, then addressed the Court as follows : Gentlemen,—After having heard the skilful ad vocate, who has been willing to undertake the charge of demonstrating to you, that in the article inculpated there is no offence to the dignity and the constitutional authority of the King, you will not expect from me that I should, on the question which brings me before you, add anything to a de fence so complete; but I think it is my duty to say, after this defence, a few words on my :personal situation. For thirty-six years that I have exercised my honourable profession, surrounded with difficulties and full of dangers, I can render to myself the tes timony that in the Journals, of which I have been the proprietor and chief editor, the Majesty of the King has never been outraged T. , ver have Iwi ten, or allowed to he written, -'never been free), a single line, a hit for ject the defence of those pi oici i des which could alone, in my opinioit, restore to !he legitimate So vereign his usurped kingdom, and to France its lost liberties. Have I been deceived in expressing these principles? Ido not believe it ; but my con science would always contradict the error of my words. Without going back, Gentlemen, to the times which few men now living have seen, to speak only of the Journal des Debats, established by my bro ther and myself thirty years ago ; those who hear me know if I speak truth; the enemies of the King have preceded me, and many years past to render me justice; witness the seizures, the forced flights, the exile, the imprisonment, the banishment pro nounced against me many times, both under the Re public and under the Empire, as an acknowledged and declared partisan of the Ilousa of Bourbon. God forbid that I should speak of these things as boasting; I only did my duty in exposing myself to the dangers belonging to my opinion; so many Frenchmen have suffered,, and among them so many illustrious victims; so many Frenchmen have ren dered more important services than I have, that it would ill become me, an obscure citizen, to claim a merit in making some some sacrifices; but com pelled to refute an imputation which I perhaps have a right to prove extraordinary, I only wrote to re mind my Judges that I am not an enemy of the Throne, and that my past life ought to be taken into consideration in the judgment about to be pro nounced on my present life. The Restoration found me and my associate des poiled of my property in the Journal des Debals.— Even the tenor of the Act of Spoliation may serve as a certificate of fidelity to the King. On March 30, 1814, I re-seized my property, with my brother, in the name of that King who had been the avowed motive for our spoliation. You know, Gentlemen, how the cause of legi timacy was defended by the Journal des Debats, to March 20, 1815, and particularly in the article in serted on that day. Compelled, in consequence of this article, which was stopped at the post-office, to fly once more, I repaired to Brussels, whence I was speedily summoned to Ghent, to edit the official journarof the King, which was the greatest honour and the most noble recompence which I could pos sibly receive. There, under the eye of the King himself, I continued to contend for the constitu tional principles which the Charter had proclaimed, and which the legitimate dynasty alone could secure to us. Louis XVIII. approved of these articles, which a too ardent zeal would, perhaps, now calumniate. Liberty had fixed herself with legiti macy at a few paces from France, and it opened the gates to the immortal author of the Charter. On my return to my country I again undertook the editorship of the Journal which I had esta blished. Never since have I ceased to defend the true interests of Royalty, which appeared to me henceforward to have no other guarantees than those of the Institutions chalked out by the Monarch Legislator. Alarmed for these great interests at the formation of the present Ministry—little accustomed to con ceal my opinions, particularly when the Monarchy is in danger—l desired one of my co-editors to ex press his own grief and mine. After having made such correction in his article as appeared to me to be necessary—l am convinced that any equitable judges, who have heard my eloquent and learned Advocate, will not see in it the crime, the affecting imputation of which leads me to the foot of their tribunal. If the sentiment even of that article is properly understood, it will prove my loyalty as well as my innocence, I do not know if these who undoubtedly believe themselves more devoted than I am to the descend ants of King Henry IV. perform a great service to the Crown in bringing before a Court of Justice these hairs, grown grey in the service of that Crown. I do not know that it is very useful that the Royalists, who have suffered the pain of imprisonment on its' account, should also suffer it by its authority and in its name; but, gentlemen, if by 'impossibility my defender has not succeeded in begetting in you his conviction and mine, I still dare flatter myself, after the few words which I have had the honour to ad dress to you, that no person who has heard me can believe that almost at the end of my painful career I have knowingly wished to offend, outrage, and insult him who was always the object of my respect, of my affection—l had almost said of my adoration. The speech, which was delivered with seriousness, and with the accent of perfect conviction, several times produced a profound impression on the Judge, which every person present might have observed. The Court had hardly retired to deliberate, when the respectable M. de Montlosier went up to M. Benin, and shaking him kindly by the hand, said to him, " My dear M. Bertin, you have reminded me of circumstances that have affected me very power fully; the last time that I saw you was at the Temple—we were detained there together, you know : Ad pias causas." The Judges took three hours to deliberate, and during the whole of that time the Court remained quite full of people, who manifested the most lively anxiety. At length the decision was pronounced which we recorded yesterday, by the First Presi dent, in a firm voice, and with an imposing manner. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS. (From the Westminster Review.) " We cannot close our review of the Newspaper Press in the United Kingdom," says the article in the Review, " without remarking upon the silly affectation of indifference to newspaper opposition or advocacy, which is displayed by some of the lead ing persons in and out of Parliament; nothing is more common than to hear this or that great man, with a sneer, exclaim, Oh, the newspapers say so ;' or, ' who pays attention to the newspapers ?' and, on the Bench, or at the Bar, persons who, but for the newspapers, would never have risen to eminence, appear . to aspire to a notoriety founded upon con tempt for the opinion. expressed in the public jour nals. If the indifference pretended ,to be enter tained by these persons were real, we should shud der to see it tolerated as it lately has been; for if once the Newspaper Press could be brought into general contempt, there would be an end of liberty, and of the constitutional right of discussing the merits of persons iu authority. But it is a mere affectation—an affectation of the most 'childish and silly description—an assumption of independence over that power, the well-directed influence of which a truly great and good man must acknowledge and respect. Nothing denotes . weakness of mind more than this pretended indifference to praise or censure —nothing betrays a desire of emancipation from the salutary controul of the !News paper Press more than the silly and, contemptuous defiance thrown out by those whO profess to be above newspaper criticism. It is same satisfaction to know that all this vapour ing has its origin in weakness; that whilst in public speeches and writings the Press is defied, private sacrifices are offered, and propitiatory mediations are wade, to secure its support or neutrality. It is in our power to show this in the case of the little great men now in office or in the Legislature, but we shall reserve our exposure for a more fitting op portunity. We have noticed the subject, because it was due to the numerous body who have been insulted by sneers of the kind alluded to, to do so, but at present we shall go no farther." . MISS EDGEWORTH'S WORK ON IRISH BULLS.—A respectable farmer to the westward of the "Modern Athens," who is an excellent judge of the " points of beast," and who, we believe, has oftener than once presided at the Highland Society Cattle Shows, lately heard Miss EDGEWORTH'S book on Iri s h B u ll s favourably spoken of, in consequence of which he ordered a copy to be sent him, in the expectation of rec e i v i n g information from it on his favourite subject of study. When the book came, he commenced perusing it with av idity, and hav ing finished it, he said, in a tone of disappointment— " This may be a very good book, but it says nothing of horned cattle."—Elgin , Courier. GUNPOWDER PLOT IN NEWGATE. Of all the idans devised during the last twenty year , perhaps the f.th , wing is the most singular, and had it beer carried into effect the most sanguinary :—The plan 0 , escape alluded to, was to blast with gunpowder the w.,' of the Press-yard, which ;thuts to the south side of New. gate-street ; to effect which, they were to h4ake excava tions of the stone foundation, by getting out the mortar and other cements which unite them, and then introduce parcels of gunpowder—from the depots so formed, trains were to be laid to extend to the stair-case of the upper cells, up which the conspirators were to fly during the explosion, and when the aperture was made to escape in the consequent confusion. Persons visiting Newgate, and particularly the cells of the condemned, are very closely searched, but in order be avoid this ordeal, the prisoners and their out-of-door friends contrived to throw a halfpenny over the wall before alluded to, and this was to stet as a signal, that a parcel of gunpowder was to follow. This plan was not only formed but acted upon, for two parcels lightly wrapped up were thrown over before the discovery was made. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the young man Sandford, who is ordered to suffer to morrow, was one of the most active in the plot, hence he has been placed and still continues in heavy irons. Had not the plot been providentially discovered, the probability is, that many persona would have suffered, as the hour when the snatch was to have been appied, wis that when Newgate-street is most crowded with passengers ; and, strange as it may appear, the wall is more vulnerable there than in any other part of the prison.

We can hardly give these rumours the sanction, however humble it may be, of our unconditional belief. Were we to describe what we think may happen, we should suppose that considerable bustle may be excited, and, under the influence of general terror, more purity and propriety may be for awhile introduced ; and when, according to the irreversible decree to which all human affairs are subjected, matters begin to decline again and ruere in pejus, then a fresh flame will be kindled, and new rigours for awhile practised. However, the doubt of perfect success shall not prevent us from strug gling for every possible degree of improvement, One person, when he comes to be pricked, will confess what portion of the 1,1001. (and under what auspices) he is to pay to the Daubeny fa mily. This, if it exist, is the worst kind of simony. But what, do we talk of simony ? Simon Magus himself would have blushed to provide for his imps and fiends at the expense of the Church of Christ, by so many tricks and shifts as have been disclosed to us. And we know that the Noble Duke now at the head of the Administration, without being a Puritan, is well aware, from his previous habits, of the ad vantages resulting even from high professional honour. The bishops are placed in the church to provide good men for the sanctuary,—not to feed relatives and dirty dependents. We know all the affair of Bexwell, Feltwell, and Tid St. Giles's, and the changes there. How many times can a man change his hand at the game of ecartel,, and lay down and take up fresh cards ? Truly as long as the pack and the dealer last, unless the police step in and prevent the gambling ! Parliament will meet soon, and then probably the subject will be taken up.—Times. We observe a great disposition throughout the country to throw all the odium of the present prosecutions on the Whigs. The Dublin Evenin g Post of Saturday last observes— " It has been said by Tory writers that Whigs in power are the bitterest enemies of the Press, and several cases are cited to prove the assertion. We do not desire at present to enter into the considera tion of these cases, but we may be allowed to say this, that the Whig Law Officers, with the excel). tion of one splendid and pure example in our own country (Lord Plunkett) have shown more touchi ness upon the subject than becomes the principle which they are so fond of inculcating. Sir Vicary Gibbs, we believe, was in early life a Whig, but he was as %licked a prosecutor as Percival himself. Now what has the character of the administration of that Statesman gained by the prosecutions which distinguished its entire course? We should rather ask, indeed, how much it has lost? The Whigs were opposed all along, and most vehemently too, to that crusade against the Press; and had it been continued much longer—had nut the good sense and temperance of the late Lord Liverpool pre vailed, we verily believe that the Whigs must hare succeeded to office." • * • s 4. "With respect to the libels for which the Morn ing Journal has been tried, there is only one of them which, in our opinion, ought to be submitted to the consideration of a Court of Justice—we mean the charge of personal corruption against the Lord Chan cellor of England—and that should be done, not with a view of vengeance against the individual, but merely for the purpose of disabusing the public. As to the libels against the King and the Duke of Wel lington, they are so extravagant and silly, that they could not possibly be productive of harm to any per son but the parties publishing. It is one question —what is libel ? and another—shall we prosecute ? Any thing is libel that the Attorney-General pleases, for he has only to fasten upon an inadvertent phrase, and to deduce evil intention. The information is framed, the inuendos learnedly charged—and the thing is done. But the question which Sir James Scarlett should ask, is not whether ' I may obtain a verdict ?' but what good will a verdict do the Ad ministration ?' We contend for it, that the libels in the Morning Journal have done no mischief. With regard to the second question, we are of opinion that the course chosen by the Learned Gentleman will be decidedly hurtful to the character of the Duke of Wellington's Administration, and therefore injurious to its capacity of doing good. These topics will revive the memory of the discussion, and em barrass the Government—and it will have the effect, we are sorry to be obliged to say, of making the public remember the old tirades against the Whigs, groundless as we know they are in general at the bottom, enemies to free discussion." A Morning Contemporary goes a great deal further : " Half the materials (it is observed) of modern history is composed of the pompous never-ending asservations of this party in favour of the above ob ject when out of place; and a tolerable proportion of the other half in proving their dereliction of that principle when in. In short, with them a clamour for popular rights has always been made a step ladder to power; and the use which they have made of that power has been to evince their hatred of the people, and their eagerness to tyrannise over arid oppress them. The desire to pass the Catholic Question first threw the Duke of 'Wellington into the arms of this party; and the fear of being NOW in a minority without them still renders his Grace their humble servant. We are aware that there are those who attempt to deny this junction. These parsons tell us that there is but one Member of the Cabinet (Lord Rosslyn) who ever was a Whig. To these persons we would reply, by asking what was the Lord Chancellor ?—and, beyond the Cabinet, what is, or was, Sir Jas. Scarlett, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Calcraft, now all holding gowns or office under the Duke ?—and what were, or are, his Grace's Par liamentary auxiliaries, Earl Grey, Lord Holland, Mr. Tierney, and a crowd of other patriots, whose early political life has been pasted, when out of office, in talking of nothing but public freedom and popular rights ? If there was any one topic on which this party expended more breath than on any other, it was in eulogizing and extolling to the skies the liberty of the Press. In their to►ets and speeches it was called our very breath, without which we die;' and this even at a time vl hen the Press was so violent and indiscreet in some of its movements as to call forth the animadversion and disgust of many of its most reasonable adherents. But the Whigs, good souls ! then wanted place. They ad vanced to storm the citadel, and the Press was the scaling-ladder which they had placed against the wall. The assault, it is true, did not succeed, but they have since gained possession by stratagem; and what is the return they make to the Press, but to render it the object of their bitterest vengeance ? We will not trust ourselves to speak of this politi cal turpitude as it deserves. We sicken at the view which it affords of blighted hopes, and martyred confidence; but this we will say, that as Hannibal, in his infancy, swore eternal hatred to Rome, so ought the betrayed and insulted people of this country to dr test the very name of Whig." The question is not, we think, fairly stated. There are many Whigs who do not share the views of Sir James Scarlett, or resemble him in disposition and character, as there are many Tories who regret that the Duke of Wellington should have allowed himself to depart from the line of moderation of which the example was set by Lord Londonderry. The difference between Whigs and Tories for many years back, as we have more than once stated, is incomprehensible. Any difference must be confined to the greater or less. share of knowledge and liberality pro fessed by the individuals of whom parties are cowposed. A Whig may be a Reformer—he may advocate principles of free trade—he may be a partizan of economy and retienchment, or he may he a determined enemy of Reform, an opponent of commercial freedom, and an advo cate for corruption in its ugliest shape. A Tory may be the same. We know mot what Sir Francis Burdett calls himself now ; but we re mark in his speeches in the House of Comirona, on moving for Parliamentary Reform, he called him , elfa Tory. The late Sir Samuel J omilly was a Whig, find Sir James Scarlctt is a Whig; but is there one principle, one feeling shared in com mon by them? We will not do Earl Grey, Lord Holland, and Mr. Tierney the injustice to suppose for a moment, that they approve of the prestnt prosecutions ; and as to Air. Brougham, his approbation of them is no more to be inferred from his dppeating on the side of the Crown, than his approbation of the conduct of Lord Charles Somerset, at the Cape, because his Lordship availed himself of his talents as a Counsellor. Notwithstanding the nonsense that has been talked in Ireland about feting Messrs. O'Connell and Shell, there is no point, we be lieve, so well ascertained as that a Barrister, if not already engaged, must be at the command of whoever is ready to pay him for his services.— Mr. Brougham is not responsible for the prose cutions; and it would require good evidence to persuade us, in the teeth of tl.e whole tenor of his life, that he approves of them. Mr. Brougham has always sympathised warmly with i'f whatever tends to promote the cause of improve ment in every shape ; he has laboured from the commencement of his public car r to raise the t• people, and to add to their me a n s of -,rotecting • • themselves against misgovernm en t ; and 1... ' is the very last man who will givehis support to principles calculated to place thi Pre ss titii!er trammels, which will dep.ive it of all li,i i!t,ilitYi But Sir James Searlett has never sympsOlid with more than one individual; he has nj . .4'' manifested any of the diffusive philanthropy' of Mr. Broughatineter laboured like him for the advancement of edubitifin; tht dpi struction of abuses. There is iidditlig iii his present proceedings which can surprize one who has attended to his professional anti Parliamentary progress. With respect to Whig and Tories, the matter is simply this :—No set of men under our Constitution of Church and State, can carry on the Government without availing themselves largely of the means of cor ruption. But one set of individuals may be snore liberally disposed than another, One set may obstinately withstand all improtemgnt in our laws and administration, may patroiliid tolerance at home, and employ the power and influence of the Government r in encouraging tyranny and inisgovernment abroad. Another set may, while equally obliged to conduct the Government for the benefit of the privileged classes yet feel disposed to treat the people, in other respects, with kindness and forbearance-- to commit no more injustice than is absolutely necessary. Hence the general anxiety, after fly retirement of Lord Liverpool, and on the deati of Mr. Canning, to see in power those indivi duals who, it was supposed, would contititt the Government on liberal and comprehensite prin. ciples. It was then admitted, that the ditiiticz tion between Whig and Tory was no longer psi existence. There is no intelligible distinction ih the present day, but between advocates and op ponents of Constitutional Reform. The account we have seen of the Constitution a. 7: it exists, is that given by Jefferson, in a letter fti Governor Langdon, dated &tit March, 1810, in the last portion of his Memoirs ; &es just pub lished. " It may be asked (he says) whit in the nature of her Government unfits Englinuf for the observation of moral duties ? In the first place, her King is a cipher; his only function being to name the Oligarchy which is to govern her. The Parliament is, by corruption, the mere instrument of the will of the Admistrati on. The real power and property in the Government is in the great aristocratical families of the na tion. The nest of office being too stnall for all of them to cuddle in at once, the contest is eternal which shall crowd the other out. For this purpose they are divided into two parties— the Ins and the Outs—so equal in weight that a small matter turns the balance. To keep themselves in when they are in every stratagem must be practised, every sacrifice used, which may flatter the pride, the passions, or power of the nation. Justice, honour, faith, must yield to the necessity of keeping themselves in place. The question whether a measure is moral is never asked ; but whether it will nourish the avarice of their merchants, or the piratical spirit of their navy, or produce any other effect which may strengthen them in their places. As to engagements, however positive, entered into by the predecessors of the Ins—why they were their enemies ; they did every thing which was wrong; and to reverse ever v thing they did must, there fore, be right. . . . /n an absolute Go vernment there can be no such equiponderent parties. The despot is the Government. His power, suppressing all opposition, maintains his Ministers firm in their places." Lord Walde grave tells us, in his Memoirs, that George the Second having been accustomed till manhood to a Government of this last description was greatly shocked at the corruption of this country. " Being past thirty," he says, " when the: Ha nover Succession took place, and having since ex perienced the violence of party, the injustice of popular clamour, the corruption of Parliaments, and the selfish motives of pretended patriots, it is not surprising that he should have contracted some prejudices in favour of those Governments where the Royal authority is under less re straint." Corruption and hypocrisy, however, are better than despotism. But may not a time arrive when we shall be able to dispense with them also ?—Morning Chronicle. We entirely agree with an Evening Contem• porary (The Sun) ill the judicious remarks which have recently appeared in it, on the in expediency, not to say disgrace and danger, of physicians being the owners of private lunatic asylums—a practice almost as preposterous as it would be for the two Chief Justices to have an interest in the number of persons committed to the two prisons of their respective Courts. It is one of the misfortunes of the present day that but few members of either of the Learned professions pursue them only for the honour of science.. On the contrary, mere profit, whiel 'used with such persons to be a secondary con sideration, is now the sole and over-ruling one. That diseases of the mind are more common than they used to be cannot be doubted; and, judging from what we see of the conduct and evidence of too many medical men, upon occa sions when their opinions are made public, it would seem that it is rather their trade to make men mad than to cure them of any early tendencies towards that melancholy disea se .

Eaying, that there is an tagerness am predetermination to prole insanity, whenever ii is as much as surmised, which seems to make " Their Irish the fither to the thought." It is curious to observe, too, the eager cots diality with which the members of the two pro fessions of law and medicine hunt, as it were ii. tot:ides, upon these sad occasions, and the scriptural expression that " where the body if there will the eagles be gathered together," can• Ito: be more strikingly illustrated than in tin way in which a man's miefiartunes are made the prey of these joint adventurers, who seem to deal with a vacant mind as persons of another description do with a vacant or unguarded house. But, confining ourselves to the point at which we set out, can any - thing, we would ask, be se preposterous as that a medical practitioner should assume the double of:fires of magistrate and gaoler, and both of these fbr his own profit We have heard of incompatible offices, but we never heard of any offices so incompatible as these. We have a high veneration for medical skill and science, which has, itt some of its de partments et le ist, risen itt our days to an excel lence it bad never before attained to ; but Science is degraded, and knowledge, as far as utility goes, becomes worse than ignorance, if mere avarice is allowed to be its polar star, and to usurp all those higher qualifications and feel ings by which real science ought to be, and was formerly distinguished. But if the honour of a learned profession will ieet rouse the respectable part of its membets. to rescue it from this dis- graceful inroad upon its character and utility, the general interests and welfare of the commit hy comman.a its reform ; and Parliament,while it h " b' -ca anxiously legislating for the m os t des:''.ute and unhappy of all the children of mis ionune, will have left its labours incomplete, if a trade is allowed to be carried on with im punity, which, in its nature, is, and must be so grossly abused as we see by daily experience.— Morning Herald. The proceedings under the Commission of Enquiry into the state of mind of Mr. Davies, which continued for eleven days, and were at last abruptly concluded in consequence of the spontaneous intervention of the Jury, ought not, we think, to be passed over without sonic remark. It appears at the first view absurd that proceedings so tedious and expensive should be thought necessary, or should even be permitted, with a view to determine whether an individual be lit ro manage his own estate, inasmuch as, kiiilest the estate be unuenally large, it is pro -4,40'v that it will be devoured by the process; and qds has been said to be the more absurd, be elude whenever the question of insanity arises incidental:Y, in criminal proceedings or other tiKes ruurts of Justice find it possible to de to their own satisfaction and that of the i)k.*olic in a very summary manner. in these 'tgainions there is, however, some inaccuracy. The question of insanity in c r i m i na l cases le, brought forward :Under the general plea of Slot guilty ; • tie - prosecutor has no no tice tit this special plea, and the de rision conseqiie:ntly is upon es-parte evi dence. All that" the Juries are called upon to say in such cases is, that there does or does not appeer prima facie evidence of insanity. I N the only remaining class of cases in which the iantation of individual soundness of mind fre- Patently arises, that of the validity of testamentary documents, the evidence adduced is much more vontminous, complicated, and discordant, and the decision proportionably difficult and tedious. 'But even flare, an elaborate and scientific in veatiateefien of the question is not spurned as use ;eata'ieut dispensed with because it is impossible. ne death of the party has shut out all other light than what the evidence of the family doctor raid connections and domestics may happen to supply. The case is, as we have seen, alto gether different, when a Court is constituted to inquire fully and cautiously into the state of mind of a living man. Here a wider scope of testimony is attainable ; and we may expect of course, that by its needless or excessive ac cumulation on either side, the investigation will occasionally be incumbered, and its expense be rendered enormous. But this evil, to whatever sar casms it may give rise, appertains to the very subject of the inquiry, and is one of which the pu!eic have really no reason to complain. The very toiain of such a question implies, that both parties have an interest real or imaginary in the estate, the sanity of whose immediate possessor is doubted, and no better guarantee can be ima gined, that the inquiry w ill no t w ilf u ll y or idl y - be made more tedious or expensive than it ought. We rejoice, however, that the case before us has attracted so large a share of public attention, not because we sec much probability of an improved method of conducting the inquiries which take place from time to tone under Chancery Com missions, but because it has afforded the public an opportunity of judging the judgment of a class of men, by vi r t ue o f the signature of one or other of whom to a piece of paper, thousthda of individuals are at this moment, and any indivi dual may be to-morrow, incarcerated in a private madhouse. It is no reproach to men of science that they differ from each other in opinion, un lees when the imperfection of science is displayed in conjunction with dogmatism, presumption, or precipitation on the part of its conflicting profes sors. But is it possible, we ask, for any man to have read the medical part of the evidence given on the late inquiry, without being convinced. of the dreadful and enormous abuses to which the private madhouse system is liable, and lamenting that public asylums, under the government of public and responsible officers, should not be provided for all the persons, without exception, for whom their family and friends deem personal confinement necessary ? The rate of payment might vary according to the circumstances of the parties and the scale of accommodation required, and be so calculated as to reimburse by its aggre gate amount nearly the whole expenses of the institutions, taking care, however, that the inte rests of each institution and of its officers should be promoted, and not impaired, as in private madhouses they are and must be, by the fre quency and rapidity of cure; and by the exclu sion of all other than proper and necessary cases of confinement. The Legislature may exhaust its humane ingenuity, may heap contrivance upon contrivance, and check upon check, other effec tive guarantee against cruelty and injustice there can be none than a general regulation that all persons confined on account or uncle; The pre tence of insanity shall be committed foi • ttwith to the charge of public and responsible fueetionaries. —Morning Post. The Times newspaper is beginning to feel some alarm for its favourite principles of free trade—for those principles which fatten the spe culator at the expence of the poor, and place the manufacturer, shipowner, and agriculturist of afi oppressively-taxe t l eouri:rv, ut the mercy of those foreign rivals wits ) tile very differently 4i .. __ tuated. The article in the Time* to which we allude is of two mortal Coluaiiis i±i leiigth,' and :t is evidentl t y the production of one deeply in terested in the opinions he advocates, and who is but occasionally a contributor to the pages of the Times. Its first object appears to be to extricate Mr. Huskisson from the chtrgo of being the author of } or 111 party responsible for, those Viiiires which have entailed so much calamity on the country. Mr. Huskisson is represented to be the most innocent personage in the world. He is said to be 'irresponsible for the errors or the opinions of Lord pvti-pool and Lord Wallace. He is lint forth its the , sere instrument tit- political journeyman of these Noble Lords, and of having been innocently the means of carrying their schemes into practice, and the pilot of the avowed sentiments of the Legislature. All this is very fine ; but it is nonsense, nevertheless. It is very natural for Mr. 1104:is:son, now that he has kissed the hand which smote him—now that he has made his terms with the imperious Mi nister who openly insulted and dismissed him— now that he has cringed before his master and endearourd to drown past indignities in new favours—it is well for him, needy and grasping as he is, to make good his retreat before lie be called upon to answer for his conduct. But is there a man between this and the North Pole in sane enough to believe a single word he says ? He was turned out of office for his disobedi ence—he was cast off for his consistency—he was dishonoured and rejected because he dared to offer an opinion of his own, or record a vote at variance with the arbitrary dictates of the Duke of Wellington. When, therefore, we find such a nun jJtilt ng the phalanx of which he was expelled we may, in the first place rest as sured that he is ready to repudiate his former sen timents, and, in the next place, to deny his con nexion with a line of policy which he must now see is calculated to reduce the country to a state of beggary and ruin. All this would be well if his last new opinions— his altered opinions—his reconsidered .and mo dified opinions—should prove to be genuine. But Mr. Huskissun is not a man whom we can trust ; and, if it be true that he is to join the presentCabinet,we hope he will be able to draw into further diffieultie.s. This, indeed, is our hope and consolation. He may deny what he pleases. He may cast the blame upon the dead or the forgotteN. He may impute the error to the silent ashes of Lard Liverpool or Mr. Can- wing. fie may accuse Lord 6oderich or Lord Wanace ; but who is there to take his word for this ? We venture to affirm that his word on this point would not be taken, even by the most ardent of his former friends. For is a not known that during the hitter years of Lord Liver pool—during the Administration of Mr. Can- ;tin , / and that of Lord Goderich—he was the principal Commercial Minister of the Crown ? All his notions and principles were embodied in the memures of the day. His word was la,v. His ideas were orthodox. his specifics were considered as infallible cures ; and, under this im pression, they were adopted by the Government and carried into effect by the Legislature. It is true he may come into the present helpless, imbecile, and forlorn Cabinet as a new made man, with new views, hating divested bitnself of the rust and corruption of his earlier attachments and his recorded errors. But NIT.. Huskisson must, nevertheless, remain a suspected, and, come quemly, a feeble man. He can render no as sistance to any Ministry, however hopeless or difficult may be their situation. Any pallatives he may be induced to recommend will be treated with disrespect and distrust ; and improvements, even though they should come seconded by a voice from Heaven, would, under these circum stances, be deemed dangerous evariinents. - -So much for Mr. Huskisson. But ilet'lle!See what the Times says in his favouG- -Thi - 6ttly-«,te trade," says our contemporary i "'Olaf o.arlia ment has yet permitted, or which 14 - r. Ituskis son has ventured to recommend, is the single case of merchant vessels, and there it is a pro visional and bargained equality, rather than what may be termed freedom." Now, we deny, in the most positive terms, that the mea sures of Mr. Huskisson relative to mer chant vessels is founded on a " bargained equality." We affirm that the advantage is all on the side of the foreign shipowner ; and we arc certain, if every merchant of Lloyd's was called upon to -deliver his opinion upon oath that he would coincide with us in this senti ment. Let us state the simple facts as they apply to the respective interests of the British and foreign shipowner. We concluded a treaty with Prussia and other states, in which we " bargained" (to use the city expression) that equal advantages should be given to the ships of both countries in their communication with each other. For instance, it was " bargained" that we should receive the same favour aiid benefits in the harbours of our allies as the ships of our allies should receive in British ports, Has this been the case? We answer no. The Prussians have, by the exercise of an oppressive and dis honourable monopoly, excluded British ships from the valuable carrying trade in salt. We give to them the advantage of our bonded system—they give no such correspondiug faci- lities to us. v The British merchant must piiy his duties on landing his goods in Dant zic—the Prussian merchant is allowed to land his goods in London, in bond, without being compelled to pay his duties till they are sold to the retailer or consumer. Is this reciprocity ? h this equality ? Is this the provisional and bargained free trade that was to confer on both nations equal advantages? We say that it is deliision. We say that the advan tage gained by our ally is a fraud. We are robbed and laughed at. We are over-reached and despised. We are bound by treaties which are not only false and monstrous in principle, but which place us at the mercy of those who have outwitted us, and rejoice and triumph in their superior tact and diplomacy. Of course an end must be put to these tricks, and these advan tages, soon. But we submit that Mr. Hus kisson is not the man in whose hands we should confide our interests. He is personally involved ; and, however much he may shift, and wince, and turn, and equivocate, he is bound by his former deeds, and by dn.-0 he must as a statesman stand or fall. He is . nalhe man to extricate us from a painful and disgraceful. dilemma. His character is mixed up with the . system. He is chained down by his own Acts of Parliament ; and God help us if on him alone we are to depend for amelioration or relief. No subterfuge cm avail us now. No plausible speeches can administer a remedy. No mang ling of public documents—no appeal to foreign returns manufactured by an artful envoy—no figures arranged to deceive, no documents with held, at:d no documents published, after he has formed his tinsel and disi►►genuous calculations, can nvw livvdwink a suffering and deeply-ii:. :lured country. His artifices, no matter how tviined, cannot now cover his former miscon duct, or serve the purposes of the present ignorant and besotted Administration. He must injure them, he must expose them ; the old leaven must prevail, and his modified - principles emerge in a Ile* advimeernent a his errors and ab• surdities. Let the shipowners look to this, let the silk-weavers look to this; let the wool , growers look to this; lct the glovers look to this ; let the country gentlemen look to this, if their estates, in file present state of the country, be worth the looking after.orning Journal. We are Eeati to see the independent part of the Press cowing gradually round to the view which we have always taken of the late change in the corrency. Almost every provincial paper which we have seen for weeks past has detailed the calamities arising from it ; and if any proof were wanting to support their assertions, it would be found in the deplorable state of the country, whose trade, commerce, and manufactures are allowed to be in a state of the greatest depres sion. But we were scarcely prepared for such a sweeping declaration of the value of the small notes, and the superiority of the country bankers to the district, or branch, banks of the Bank of England, as is contained in the following extract ; from an Evening Paper:— " The circulation of small rotes produced," says it, "we are inclined to think, tome effects which were not commonly adverted to Wore it was doomed to destruction.—As the country bankers (com monly men of some capital—many of them large capital) derived a double profit from the lending of money and the circulation of their notes, it became worth their while, for the sake of their indirect gains, to bear the risk and trouble which attended loan transactions with persons who had no security to offer except their character and activity. It be came a part of their business to obtain accurate knowledge of the cha►actrrs of men ; and thus by peat activity, they were enabled to lend—without greater risk than the profits of their circulation suf ficed to cover—on the security not only of title deeds, but of the probity and industry of their cus tomers. This is a business which a great corpora• tion cannot well perform ; or, if it is enabled ulti mately to perform it by means of agencies, it can not at any rate accomplish it on the sudden. More over, it has no small note circulation to repay it for the charges." This is one of the grounds on which we have repeatedly advocated the cause of the country bankers, and the small note currency ; but our cotemporary adds another of no less weight, on which we have only occasionally touched. " In some of the mot active districts of the king dom," says he, " people have gone on well for a long series of years without small notes ; but the effect of the change of system is no less real if its tendency has been, as we. suspect, to withdraw money from the extremities of the country to the capital, and to increase the facilities of borrowing to the landlord, to the temporary inconvenience of the manufacturer, trader, and farmer." _ This is a correct explanation of the repeated notices of money being so plentiful in the city, and so much in demand else4bere.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETCLSTREET. PatrickM°Nantara and his wife, Elizabeth APNainara, were yesterday brought up for final examination, on a charge of robbing a Mrs. Silva, residing in Rutland -street, Mile-end-road, of pro pe•rty value 1001., and a lodger in the same house, named Peter Warburton, of 351. in notes. Mrs. Silva recapitulated the evidence as to her being robbed on the 23d of November, of property value 100/., and amongst it was a fourpenny-piece. The prisoners lodged in her house under the name of Green. Peter Warburton was a lodger of Mrs. Silva's.— Remembered the 23d of November; came home in the afternoon, about four o'clock, and was informed by Mrs. Silva that the house had been robbed. lie went up stairs, and found that a pocket-book, con• taining one 201. and three .5/. notes had been taken away. He also lost a pair of razors and a silk hand kerchief. Tire 20/. and one of the .5/. notes he had received from his brother, and the other two notes from Sir James Esdaile's bank. James Reynolds was shopman to. Mr. Hall, a linen-draper in Bishopsgate-street. He remembered that on the 23d of November the prisoner and his wife came to his shop, and bought a cloak. They first offered him a 201. note in payment, upon his telling them he had not change enough, they gave him a 51. note. (The note produced vas identified as one of those lost by Warburton.) The prisoners appeared in a very great hurry on the day in ques tion. A woman, named Edwards, residing in Ely-court, Holborn, knew the prisoners very well. On the day of the robbery, about half-past twelve at night, the female prisoner came to her house with a bundle, and requested her to let her stop there. She told her she could not, and the prisoner then requested leave to let her bundle remain there, as she was afraid the new policemen would stop her. She also told witness that if any officer was to inquire after her, she was to deny any knowledge of her. The prisoners were remanded till Friday. A woman, named Jacob:, the keeper of a noto rious bad house, in Catherine -street, Commercial road, was brought before Mr. HARDWICK, to answer a complaint preferred against her by Ann Trimby. Ann Trimby, a girl about 16 years of age, was entrapped some time since by a female into the de fendant's house. The defendant had given her clothes, and forced her to go out of an evening to pick up men, and when she did not, she beat her.— On Thursday evening last Mrs. Jacobs beat her, and turned her almost naked into the street. Mr. HARDWICK said the house kept by th• de fendant was a dreadful nuisance, and he was deter mined to do all that lay in his power to abate it. He should therefore order the defendant to find two sureties in 50/. each for her good behaviour, and to give 48 hours' notice of bail. UNION-HALL The publicity alresdy given to the ease of Robert Waters and his wife, who have been in custody some time on alleged charges of swindling, had the effect of bringing forward a great number of trades men, who were in attendance yesterday, a t t h e final examination of the accused persons. Mr. Earni, a tailor, from whom the prisoner had obtained a suit of mourning, ‘s hich wai left at his hoUie in Stamford-street by the wwkainiii. contrary to the directions of his master, stated .that since the last examination 'Waters had sent for him, and offered to pay the money, if be would forego the prosecution, and not appear against him that day. Mr. CHAMBERS said Mr. Earm had acted perfectly right not to enter into any compromise with the prisoner; at the same time he (the Magistrate) was of opinion that the case was of that nature that Übe sent it to the Sessions it would break down, it ap pearing that Mr. Eares man had not peremptorily demanded the clothes back when he found the money was not forthcoming. The Magistrate then requested Mr, Wooler, who was in attendance for some of the complaining parties, to select from amongst them the strongest case he could against the prisoners. Mr. Wooler then withdrew into the private room, followed by about 40 tradesmen, from most of whom the prisoners had obtained goods of different dertiiptions, after he had furnished out his house in S•arnford-strie!, and never paid one far thing to them. After some dehty, Mr. Wooler returned to the office, and infottned the Magistrate, that the pri soner had managed to obtain the property of the dif ferent persons then present in so ingenious a manner that he completely 'evaded the law. Thete was one case, however, that tens different to the rest, and he should describe the transaction, in order to let the public kcow the that - atter of the man when he was I l set at large. A poor woman, named Brown, hay ing a mangle to dispose of for 121. 125., she toss applied to by a female, who said her name was Ann Page, and who wanted no become the purchaser.— This female then described that she was living on a pension which was payable quarterly, and that if Mrs. Brown consented to take a good bill for the mannle when it became due. it would be honoured. She went on to say that the bill should be accepted by Mr. Robert Waters, her attorney, who transacted all her law-business, and to whom she would refer Mrs. Brown, as to the respectability of her cha racter, &c. Mrs. Brown did apply to the prisoner on the subject, and he gave a flaming account of the great respectability of Anne Page, declaring that she was as honourable a woman in all her dealings as could be met with. The result of this interview was, that Mrs. Brown was induced to take the bill, which was accepted by Waters for her mangle; and when it became due, neither the drawer nor acceptor were to he found. Mr. Wooler here produced the bill, and Waters admitted that he hid accepted it for Anne Page ; but as to saying where that person now was, he could throw no light on the subject. Mr. Brown said, that since his wife had parted with the mangle for the bit of waste paper just pro duced, he had never been enabled to discover where Waters, the acceptor, had Qom', until he saw the account in the newspapers, detailing the particulars of his having been brought up to this office on al leged charges of swindling. Upon seeing the ac count, he had an interview with Waters in the gaol, and at first that person denied ail knowledge of the transaction respecting the bill, but afterwards confessed that he was the acceptor of it. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired of the witness whether, on the occasion of his visit to the prison, Waters had described himself an attorney, or at the time he accepted the bill ; for in that case, added the Magistrate, we shall be enabled to make out a case that will reach him. The witness, in reply, said that Waters had not mentioned what business he followed on either oc casion; the female who called herself Anne Page only having asserted that he was an attorney. Mr. CHAMBERS—Look at the woman at the bar, and say whether she is the person who described herself to be Anne Page. The woman in custody has already represented herself to be the wife of a man named Sparks, against whom 14 detainers are lodged, but has now changed her story, and says sh e is Waters's lawful wife. The witness said, that the female prisoner had no resemblance to Anne Page. Here several persons, anxious to catch a glimpse of the prisoners, were desired to come forward and view them, Mr. Cham bers saying that it was necessary the public should be put upon their guard against such schemers. The Magistrate then said, that there was a law in France, when persons acted in the manner above detailed, they were put in the pillory, which was placed in a conspicuous situation, for the purpose of giving all the public an opportunity of gazing on those who attempted to obtain property by such means. Mr. Earm, the tailor, said that the prisoner repre sented he wanted the suit of mourning, out of which he " did" him, to wear for his brother, who died at Sydenham. On inquiry the witness said that he found the representation to be false, for the brother was still alive. Mr. CHAMBERS—It is evident that there is no case against the accused that is not mixed up with credit, so that he has ingeniously escaped the con- sequences. It was here stated, that there were eight or ten other persons in league with the accused, and that their transactions were not confined to any p::rticular portion of the town, but extended all ever London. When they found that they were likely to be " blown" in one part of the town, they then quitted that place in haste—always in the night—and got into some neighbourhood where they would have an opportunity of obtaining fresh goods from trades people whom they never paid, and who were igno rant of the character of their customers. Mr. CHAMBERS -said, that the tradesmen from whom the prisoner obtained goods while living in Stamford -street, were perfectly right in entering the premises and taking forcible possession of their pro perty, otherwise they ,would never have either got money or goods. • Mr. Harris and Mr. Meredith stated, that the pri soner gave them both into custody when they went to his house to claim their goods back. Mr. CHAMBERS—I hope the publicity given to what has transpired at this office will have the effect of not only putting tradespeople upon their guard against such persons, but will also lead to the detec tion and exposure of the other parties concerned in the transactions. The prisoner for the first time broke silence here, declaring that he would pay all those to whom he was indebted honourably and Nirly. (There was a burst of laughter on this declaration, which was in creased when one of the sufferers stated, that he had heard the prisoner assert that he Was determined on taking the benefit of the Act if he escaped prose. cution in this instance.) Mr. CHAMBERS-If he should apply for relief under the Insolvent Act, I am inclined to believe he w ill no t meet with much favour in that court, he having introduced the name of the Chief Commis sioner in the course of these proceedings, no doubt without the sanction of that learned gentleman. Waters—l don't intend to get white-washed, your worship; I shall pay all my debts at my eat liest convenience —( A laugh.) A tradesman here said, that Mrs. Waters was one of the most dangerous customers he ever had to do with. She had a way peculiar to herself of wheedling the person whom she selected as a victim, and he defied almost any man to withstand her fasci nating manner. Mrs. Waters smiled nt this assertion, and said that she bad no hand in the business. Mr. CHAmmtas regretted that no case was suffi ciently strong against the prisoners to justify hint in committing theta for trial. At the same time it had been satisfactorily proved that they had both been deeply engaged in most disgraceful frauds on several tradesmen, and althou g h th e y h a d esca p e d commit tal on this occas'on, yet the time was not far distant when, if they pursued those practices, they would undoubtedly at last place themselves within the reac h o f the law. They were then discharged. A respectable tanner in the neighbourhood, t rave lling to Hull, a few days ago, came up in the neigh bourhood of Newland, to a commerc;al traveller, Trawl ing inn ditch, and who very naturally was crying out most lustily for help, qelp,"--quqth the tanner,— " ti,at is impossible from me, I dam% draw you rot with out twenty-four hours notice to the excisv."

(From the New London Price Crirrent of yesterdar), SUGAR.—The demand for Museovades last week wsa interrupted by the holydays, and it is probable the purchases will be very limited till the commencement of the new year. The sales last week were estimated at 1,500 Ws. an.l trs. ; there was no alteration in the prices. There was only a small show of Muscovades to-day, on account of the holydays ; the attendance of the buyers was equally limited, hut as the day closed the'demand improved ; the estimated sales 700 hhds. and trs., with a firmer market. The stock of Aluseovades in London is 43,800 hlkds and trs , being 3,948 more than Ltst year; the deliveries last week were 1,836 lAds. and trs., being 524 more than the correspond ing week of 1828. In Refined Goods there were several export buyers, which is rather unusual at this season of the year; rather higher prices were given for low Lumps which are ready, than what had been obtained for parcels to he ready a few weeks hence. The letters from Hamburg state the market is without adequate supplies of Refined Goods; several parcels are frozen up at Cuxhaven. Alo lasses are in demand, and higher. FOREIGN SUGA are no purchases to report. EAST Ina Sucatt. —There are more inquiries altar Mauritius and Bengal Sugars, but the actual sales art in considerable. Con-sm.—The sales of Coffee hare been nearly confined to small parcels to the Grocers fur home consumption, for which very full prices hare been realised. A parcel of 300 bags ord. St. Domingo is reported sold at 31s. 6d. There were no public or private sales of Gffee this forenoon, and it is probable the Markets will be equally uninteresting fin' the whole, wet.k. BUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANns.--The only purchases of Rum reported are small parcels, proofs and 3 and 4 over, at Is. 8,1. Brandy and Geneva are without altera tion, and the purchases lately reported quite inconsiderable. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The Tallow Market is very steady, but the small deliveries have rather an unfa vourable effect. Hemp and Flax are nnvaried. Letters from St. Petersburg are dated 12th inst. Exchange 10id. 1,000 casks Tallow bought on contract at 90. Fa InT.—There have been extensive speculations in Figs, the buyers taking all parcels about 405., the price in come qucnce has advanced sa. ; ordinary 455., and the fine arc quoted 50s. a 551. Currants nominally 68a., but the groceriqesince no inclination to purchase latvly. Ordinary Smyrna Raisins 38s. In the other descriptions of Fruit there is no alteration. INnteo.—The only late sale of Indigo is about 200 chests, we believe, for home consumption, at prices nearly the late India House sale rates. The accounts from Cal cutta arc to the 4th of August; they have attracted much attention ; the rains had been heavy, and the damage done to the Indigo crop extensive, but we believe it to be par- tial ; the estimate of the quantity formerly 120,000 maunds, is now reduced to 100,000, and the reports have certainly gi , ten more firmness to this Market. IRISH PR0V15101.25.-In Beef and Pork there is little variation. The severe frost, and the advance of Butters in the Irish Markets have occasioned a correspondent im provement here; the holders are asking Ss. per cwt. higher. In Bacon there is no change. TFA.—The Market is very still, and the delivery checked by the stoppage of the navigation. Woot..—Very little business is now doing, owing prin cipally to the severe frost, and being the close of the year. The large sale< (principally of Spanish Wool) which were made in the last fortnight or three weeks indicate, from the prices paid, that no further fall can be anticipated, and the stock was smaller. Prices the same as last quotation. STICES.—The litre sales are confined to small parcels of Nutmegs ; the prices are unearied. TOBACCO.—The purchases reported lately are quite in considerable ; there is no alteration in the prices. Corrox.—The Cotton 'Market is without briskness; the purchases for the week ending last night, quite incon siderable. 1,760 Surat, Sid. a aid. ; 100 Bengal, Sid. a 3-11. There are more inquiries after Cotton; all the sales we have enumerated were effected on Saturday and yes terday. Ors.—The sales are inconsiderable, new at 61. a 71. 10s. Oila there is no variation. SALTPECTILL—In S4ltprtre there is no alteration. Rim—There is no alteration in Rice ; some parcels of Bengal have been offered by private contract at very low prices.

Edward Poidter, a coachman, stood charged wit h the manslaughter of William Rickwood, at Addle' stun, near Chertsey, in this county. he COURT fwiltenced the prisoner to eighteen months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Ellision illqffett, a rather good-looking yowl woman, was capitally indicted for stealing a p i , neck-chain, a pair of bracelets, a gold pin e aa` other articles, the property of Thomas Buckley', Esq.; of Walcol-place, Lambeth.

Mr. Baron GARROW summed up the evidence eti great length, and the July, after consultingfor •owe tire, returned a verdict of Guilty against Banks► and acquitted the other prisoner.

She went up to her, and asked her what was the cause of her tears. Alice repeating her question, the prisoner said that she was in the greatest distress imaginable; that she had not a place W put her head in, nor a pound in the world; and the only prospect she had to prevent her being starved was to go on the town, but sooner than do that she would destroy herself. Pitying the unfor tunate woman's condition, she at once offered her a home ~rich her, and also her table. She appeared overjoyed at her kindness, and accepted the offer.— She took her home, and did all in her power to alle viate her distresses. For nearly a week she kept the prisoner, when, on her return home one evening she found the prisoner out. At first she thought she had gene out on an errand, but not seeing her return she suspected that all was not right, and on looking over her things she discovered that several articles had been taken out of a box. She made.in quiries after the prisoner, and at length discovered her. On the prisoner being taken into custody there was found on her Ids. in silver.

It is not surprising, therefore, that, as the fiscal states, " beggary and ruin are too often the consequence of aim com missary court suits." The remarks of the Commissioners on the office of Fiscal in Berbice, who, they suggest, should be paid by salary alone, are considered by the Demerara Editor as perfectly just. This officer, it appears, derives his appointment from the Governor, and holds it during his pleasure ; he receives a portion of all fines awarded by the Court of' Criminal Justice; for trespasses against the law of the land ; he also receives a fee of 12 guilders on the complaint of every slave, and another of 25 guilders for directing punishment, if the complaint be founded. The remarks of the Demerara writer are extremely proper on this head. "It is not easy to conceive a worse state of things, than that an officer, whose functions are so various and important, should be so exceedingly dependent, and that his emoluments should be derived from a source so utterly inconsistent with the original inten tion of such an office : for can there be a greater hardship, or any thing more apart from fairness and justice, than to compel a master to pay 12 guilders for every time a turbulent or capricious servant may take it into his head to lodge a complaint ? A whole gang may choose to go to the Fiscal ; their complaint is seen to be completely unfounded ; still, however, the estate must pay 12 guilders for each and all of them. We cordially execrate that system of in ternal policy which makes a public officer inte rested in the multiplication of complaints. It requires no small degree of conscientious feeling and moral integrity to prevent a man, with a miserable fixed salary, from encouraging those complaints which go so directly to enhance his emolument."

THE COURT JOURNAL. The whole impression of this new and popular Weekly Journal being now stamped, subscribers may receive and transmit it to their friends, Postage Free, throughout all parts of the kingdom. The occupations, engagements, and amusements of the higher classes of society had long required a record ; and they found it in the Court Journal. The fete champkre, the sumptuous banquet, the concert, the soiree, the ball, the public and private habits of royal and noble life, those habits which give the tone to manners throughout the em pire, were depicted with a freshness and accuracy hitherto unattempted. But something more was still required to realize the original idea of the publication. It was hitherto the Jour nal of an elevated but exclusive class; the purpose was to render it available to all classes, retaining its anecdote, pleasantry, and spirit of high life, but making it the vehicle of intelligence of every interesting kind ; the companion not only of the boudoir but of the breakfast table and the study,—a Journal in which not merely the woman of fashion might find the round of her engagements for the week brought gracefully before her eye; but the politician, the student, and the various orders of intelligent society might find the species of information suited to their pur poses respectively ; thus rendering the Court Journal a WEEKLY NEWSPAPER. of an improved and valuable nature. This desideratum has now, under the new arrangements, been attempted, and, it is hoped, accomplished, and the consequent success of the work has been complete. Tiie COURT JOURNAL is published every SATUR DAY MORNING, on a handsome stamped sheet of Six teen Quarto Pages, containing 48 columns, price 10d., and may consequently be received on Sunday in all parts of the country, postage free. Published for Henry Colburn, by W. Thomas, at the Office, 19, Catheriae-street, Strand. Orders are received by all Booksellers and Newsvenders throughout the Kingdom. N.B. Advertisements or orders sent from the country to the Office must be accompanied by a reference for pay ment in London. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF DEMERARA AND BERBICE. The second Report of the Commissioners o f Inquiry into the administration of criminal and civil justice in the West Indies and South Ame rican colonies, which relates to the judicial sys tem of Demerara and Berbice, has been the sub ject of some remarks in the Guiana Chronicle, a Demerara paper, from whence it would appear that the suggestions of the Commissioners har monize extremely well with public opinion in that colony, though " persons of experience and professional knowledge" there entertain, as may be expected, opinions decidedly opposed to the theoretical reforms proposed in the Report. For example : the existing mode of taking evidence, under the old Dutch system, is by written inter rogations, whereby all the obvious advantages of a viva voce examination and cross-examination, suggested by the Commissioners, are totally lost. Nevertheless, the learned personages of most weight in those colonies, including the majo rity of the Court at Berbice, are opposed to this innovation, and consider that all the expence, delay, and inconvenience of the old system should be submitted to rather than the horrors of a change should be in curred. It is remarkable too, that the practice of taking written instead of parole evidence, is contrary, not only to reason but to law. There is an article in the rules for " managing the pro ceedings" of the commissary courts at Demerara, which declares that " no pleadings in writing shall be admitted in this court ;" which, by virtue of a false but convenient rendering from Dutch into English, has been made to declare the con trary. These commissary courts, it seems, arc great nuisances to the poor of the colony, for whose benefit they were expressly intended ; and the aforegoing rule is not the only one intro duced with a view of obviating their abuse which has been neglected. The practice of employing counsel and attornies, and of charging fees for them in costs, against the opposite party, is, ac• Other suggestions in the report, respecting the fees in the Colonial Secretary's office, and the office of the Advocate pro Deo, seem to be fully acquiesced in ; and upon the whole the re port, unflinching as it is, has evidently given entire satisfaction to the community. It is de scribed as a docunieiit of "great interest and va lue," and as containing " a mass of information of the utmost importance." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. B.—The Lord Cochrane transport, Lieutenant Jefferson ' agent, arriv e d fr om Ceylon on Tuesday, with Ordnance stores and in valids. She left Colombo on the 4th March, and the Cape of Good Hope on the 28th May. The following is an extract of a letter by this vessel,. dated Simon's Town, Cape of Good Hope, 26th May : ‘ A new Ordinance, on the subject of the Press, has just come out, which subjects an Editor and Proprietor, &c. if convicted of libel, for the first offence to a penalty of 300/. sterling,, and for the second, to banishment from the colony. You may believe this Ordinance is no popular one. We have a large naval squadron in Simon's Bay, no less than five in number; namely, his Majesty's ships Maid stone, Commodore Schomberg, Tweed, Comet, Falcon, and Espoir. The Falcon is on the point of sailing to St. Helena, to endeavour to fall in with a reported pirate. The Maidstone is to sail in ten days for the Mauritius. There is no merchant vessel here at present ; the Dutch brig Astrea, Capt. Brandlight, bound to Batavia, sailed from this port on the 24th. We have had, for some time back, very pleasant weather, and some tine refreshing rains : and there is every reason to believe that we shall have a fine crop. Beef and mutton have al ready much improved, although many thousands of cattle and sheep have died for want of grass, par ticularly in the new settlement of Albany. Sir Lowry Cole and family have been living at this place for some time past, and will remain until the middle of June. The Commodore gave up the Admiral's house to his Excellency, who has commenced mak ing a new road over Hottentot Holland Mountains, which were almost impassable, except by the waggons of the Dutch boor (i. e. farmer) which are drawn up, loaded, by from twenty to fifty oxen, nearly perpendicular; and when any part of the tackle gives way, it is usually the case that the greater part of the oxen are killed, and the waggon broke. The farmers in England have no idea how difficult it is to manage a farm in this colony. It is reported our Government has determined upon mak ing several other roads, if funds can be found to cover the expenses." The Badger, 10, Commander Rowley, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday, with the mail, from Halifax, in eighteen days., The squadron was dispersed in various directions,—the Columbine was at Bermuda, Rose in the Bay of Fundy, Tyne and Manly at Newfoundland, and Hussar at Halifax. Mr. Eden, Midshipman of the Hussar, had lost his arm by the bursting of a fowling-piece. The Joseph Green transport, Lieut. Robinson, Agent, which took out troops from this and Ply mouth Garrison, arrived at Halifax on the sth July, and sailed on the 12th for the Bay of Fundy. Accounts have been received of the safe arrival of his Majesty's shipJasseur at the Isle of France, with specie, on the 25th of April. She found there the Tweed and Espoir. The Favourite, 18, Commander Harrison, sailed on Wednesday for the Mediterranean; and on the following day, the Athol, 28, Capt. Gordon, with the British Consul, for Tangiers, and thence to join the squadron on the coast of Africa. The Algerine, 10, Commander Talbot, destined for the South American station, was launched on Saturday from the Dock-yard at Chatham ; and on Wednesday the Thunder bomb, of upwards of 400 tons, was launched from the Dock-yard at Deptford. It is understood that the Jupiter, Naiad, and Dryad, will shortly be put in commission. The Jupiter in all probability will be substituted for the Barham. A more striking proof of the great inactivity which prevails in our naval departments cannot be ad duced, than the fact that there is not at this mo ment a vessel of war of any force whatever fitting out at this port—a circumstance almost unprece dented for many years. By an Order in Council of 1814, a stop was put to the promotion of Captains' Clerks to the rank of Pursers, until the number of Pursers should be re duced below the number of ships in the navy. With in these few days another Order in Council has been issued, which grants some alleviation to this deserv ing class of individuals; promotion is again to go on, provided it does not embrace more than ten in any one year. A Committee of Officers is ordered to assemble at the Admiralty, of which Sir Lawrence Halstead will be Chairman, to re-arrange the present Rigging Warrants, and other supplies of stores which by existing orders the men of war arc now obliged to receive on board. With the Chairman, Sir T. Hardy, Sir J. Brenton, Captains C. White, E. Brace, and J. Hayes will form the Board. At a late meeting of several Medical Officers of the Navy in London, on which occasion Dr. W. The Cephalus and Peruvian brigs, 18, a packet and cutter at this port, are ordered to be broken up, being found unserviceable. Iris expected the Hyacinth, 18, at this port, will be speedily brought forward for commission. Lieut. Richard Haably, 1811, has been appointed Chief Officer of the Coast Guard Station, Prussia Cove, near Penzance; and an interchange of crews of the same service, has lately been carried into effect between England and Ireland. It is also positively decided upon, that no person below the rank of a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, can be considered eligible to be Chief Officer of a Coast Guard Sta tion. Lieut. Thomas Daws (1809) is appointed to the charge of the Semaphore Telegraph, River Hill, Surrey. Lieut. William Griffin (1825) is appointed to his Majesty's ship Gloucester. Lieut. Hopton, of the Victory, is promoted to the rank of Commander. Previous to the Navy Board leaving this port, a general muster of the Ordinary took place, and we understand in future the officers of that. department will be considered qualified for superannuation on completing fifty-five years of age. The boys of the Ordinary are ordered to attend the school on board the San Josef. Captain Bowles, Comptroller-General of the Coast Guard, has been for some time, and is now, inspecting that service on the coast of England. Since the recent survey, the office of foreman of caulkers in this dock-yard has been abolished. IRISH LORD LIEUTENANTS. The public acts of the Lord Lieutenancy since the union have generally been confined to the execution of the orders of the Minister at home. These have been fluctuating and irre gular, and until of late, harsh and unpopular in their general outline. The Duke of Richmond being a bon vivant, and having of course com panionable qualities, by mixing generally in the society of Dublin, and familiarly with all, saved himself personally from any share of the odium which many of the public acts of his achnnistra tion deservedly obtained. The subsequent Go vernors, with the exception of one or two, were mere money-getting men. They say, in Dub lin, that Lord Talbot farmed the cows in the Phoenix Park, and let it out as a grazing ground. This is probably a calumny, but the general dif fusion of such a rumour indicates the popular opinion of his Excellency's system of pecuniary expenditure. Lord Wellesley was personally a showy man : he could not, however, keep a Court, for his affairs were embarrassed, and in the profits of the office he sought the means of their re demption. He was, nevertheless, individually liked, from his pleasing address, and all men respected his principles, and gave credit to his motives. Never, perhaps, in the long catalogue of the Lieutenancy was there a man for whom personal qualities did so much as for Lord Wellesley's successor, Lord Anglesea. A hasty phrase, in utterance of a soldier's threat, undoubtedly made him unpopular upon his arrival : he had scarcely touched the shores of Ireland, however, when, by his frank and generous manners, he concilate4 the people. He rode out among them, unattended by those trappings ; he crossed the Tipperary mountains among a peasantry pe culiarly distinguished for barbarous strife, and was every where received as a deliverer. He visited gentlemen's houses as an equal, and spe cially interdicted all expensive parade of form and ceremony for his reception ; and the people uni versally beheld in him a man who was viewing their condition with his own eyes, firmly dis couraging the baneful ascendancy of party, and determined to establish the dominion of the Government upon the sure basis of reason and justice. The popular confidence in the Marquis became at once unbounded ; his declarations, which were the emanations struck from a gene rous and chivalrous mind, by sudden contact with a state of society of which he was not be fore sufficiently informed, were hailed by an ar dent and enthusiastic people, and communicated through them with the heat and impetuosity of an electric shock. The gloom which the abrupt recall of such a man has shed upon the public feeling of Ireland still continues. It is, now that the feeling s o f f ac ti ous s t r if e i s on the wane , participated by all parties, who feel, that in losing the opportunity of holding a gay and gallatat Court, which would have attracted many of the Irish gentry b ac k to t h e i r coun t r y, and m a d e Dublin more the resort of foreigners who travel in this kingdom than it has been, the nation en--1 dues a heavy loss, and the people are bereft of one of the elements of social improvement. Ihsuccessor of Lord Anglesea is a noble- Man of high personal north ; but it is in vain to assert that he has the public qualities fit for the time and stctidn: Ireland is, and must b9 for some time, labouring th - idef a crisis which re quires the application of great firmness arid Judg ment. It is essential, under such circumstances, to have a Lord Lieutenant who will give per sonally a fond to toeiety, and appear at least to be occupied by his public duties, The bustle of personal action is indispensable for the popu larity of a Lord Lieutenant in such a country a 1 Ireland: The Duke of Richmond's punch drinking and racket‘playing, by bringing him cheerfully and familiarly into satiety, saved him personally from the stain of the bad niedt,ures of his government, their alternate violence and weak ness. Lord Anglesea was neither a punch drinker nor a racket-player, and yet he was the most popular Lord Lieutenant that Ireland ever had since the time of Lord -Fitzwilharn, by the plain and simple application of a manly and well-intentioned mind to the business of his office. Neither was he obliged to encounter much fatigue and labour in the process. He had only, to give the spur to his ordinarily active habits—to affbrd a prompt reception to those who sought audiences upon business—to attend the public balls, and gossip with the company— to appear on the roads and in the streets fami liarly accessible to every body, and always eager to see and judge occurrences, without waiting to have them communicated through the formal medium of a secretary. Any successor to such a man would have been disadvantageously placed for the moment ; but the Duke of Northumberland does not ap pear to see his situation. It is true he did not seek the office, and there is reason to believe he yielded a reluctant acceptance of it, to the com mands of his Sovereign. Still, the calm and silent mode in which an English gentleman con ducts estates, requiring so little of complicated management as those of his Grace, is not that by which the affairs of a mercurial people are to be conducted at a crisis when active means are necessary to give efficacy to the benevolent inten tions of Government. Nobody sees the Duke of Northumberland in Ireland, except seated against the back of a close chariot with the Duchess (who equally excludes herself,) drawn by six horses, with showy harness and outriders, and followed by another carriage and four horses, with some of the ladies of the Powis family, squired by that ancient Briton Sir Watkin Wynn. The Duke lives in state, but in private ; he mingles not with the people ; he has the character of an excellent private gentleman, and the Du chess that of an amiable lady ; but they either look down upon Irish society, or will not take the trouble of encouraging it. They do - not visit the gentry, probably in consideration of the trouble which their cavalcade would give, by crowding the stables of private houses with their horse,~, and swarming the place with troops of pampered servants; but why all this parade on all ordinary occasions ? and if it must be, why accompany it with so much real exclusion ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Harmer appeared upon the part of some of the most respectable Proctors of Doctors' Com mons to complain against the practice of some per sons who, it seems, act as touters or cads for the lower order of Proctors, who derive their livelihood from chance custom. Two of these cads were summoned to appear. Mr. Harmer stated that the conduct of the de fendants was productive of inconvenience to the public, as well as to the respectable part of the pro fession. They were in the habit of standing in Dean's-court, St. Paul's Church-yard, and touting, like the cads of a stage-coach, for custom, for the gentlemen of the profession, with whom they parti cipated in the profits of the passing business. If any respectable person turned towards Doctors' Commons, he was sure to have one of these gentry down upon him, brimful of information, and in seve ral instances they succeeded i❑ misdirecting people upon business, that is, in introducing them to Proc tors whom they did not intend in the first instance to employ. The LORD MAYOR said, that it reflected very great discredit upon► the Proctors who pursued such means of obtaining business, and must, on the whole, operate against them in their practice, if they had any. It was disgraceful to see a liberal profession touted for by cadgers—barkers to old clothes shops. —(A laugh.) Mr. Harmer said that the case against the de fendant who had obeyed the summons was not a strong one, and therefore he should not press it.— He should, however, certainly proceed against the absent defendant, who had touted with a vengeance. He (Mr. Harmer) had himself been touted to a con siderable distance, and he was, therefore, a very good judge of the extent of the annoyance to which people were subject from the Proctors' cads. He knew there were other branches of the profession of the law, the dignity of which sometimes was inade quately supported (laughter), but he had never known any thing like this mode of forcing custom. Mr. nobler thought that the best course for Mr. Harmer to adopt, was that of " information" against any future offenders. In this suggestion Mr. Harmer agreed, and he expressed the determination of the gentlemen by whom he had been engaged, to proceed in that manner against the cadger who had not paid the due attention to the summons. HIS LORDSHIP said that he hoped measures would be taken to put -down so disreputable a practice.— Now that such an outcry was raised in the other de partment of the law, it was to be hoped that some thing like respectability would be maintained in this. GUILDHALL. On Saturday William Brandon, a young man of very respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY with obtaining the sum of 3/. 'l6s. 6d. by , means of a forged order from Mr. Meeking, Holborn-hill. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. 111 A RLBORO U Gil-STREET. On Saturday James Cummings, :who stood re manded on a charge of having attempted to murder his wife, was brought up for re-examination before Mr. DYER, jun. Mr. Lyons, the assistant apothecary to the parish, stated, that the female still continued in the most dangerous state, and that not the least symptom of recovery appeared. It was only by keeping her quiet, and preventing anything like exc►tement taking place, that her life had been protracted to the present time. _ _ - Mr. DYE R —D o y ou thi n k there is a chance of her creeehoevaer?ingmfrr.oLmyotnhse—lf I was to give an opinion I wounds which she has re- THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. THE LOVES OF THE ANGELS.—An old Irishman named Patrick Angel, was charged with beating Judith Angel, his wife, most unmercifully with ,a shoemaker's stirrup-leather, upon a certain portion of her person. Judith had one child in her arms, and two others hanging to her gown. She began—" An please your Worship, my husband Patrick, bad luck to him, came home Cother night, and becase I had Dennis Murphy in my room, and sure there was no harm in the world in it, Patrick ups with his fist and bate Dennis Murphy, and then, saving your presence, he gives it to me." Mr. BaoDErtH3—Gave you what ? Judith Faith, an sure I'm ashamed to tell the likes to a gentleman like you. An old Irishwoman explained the "gives it me," by describing, very inelegantly, a flogging on the 'ewer part of the back. Patrick Angel being called upon to give some ac count of the matter, commenced as follows : " Arrah, then, your Worship, didn't I come home after a hard day's work to my tay ? and sure enough who should I Lind upon the floor but that -- of a wife of mine, kissing Dennis Murphy as if the life was going out of her." ' Judith—Oh, you lying villain. Angel—Faith, then, the devil a word of a lie is it ; sure a husband wouldn't say the like if 'twasn't true, and I have got witnesses that will come to the fore to prove it. Mrs. Angel most vociferously denied the alleged criminality, and exclaimed, " Oh ! you ould vaga bond, the divil another day I'll be wid you—you ould cobbling rat." Mr:Angel—The devil another day I'll be wid you after treating me in that ere manner. The Magistrate called upon him to answer the charge of assault. Mr. Angel dropped his lower jaw, and put on that singularly horrible expression of countenance so peculiar to the lower order of the Irish, when dismayed or horror-stricken. He acknowledged committing the assault, but justified it on the ground . of the great provocation he had experienced. He " didn't deny but the infliction was severe." A witness was called on the part of the defend ant. She appeared in the person of a decent little English woman, and with considerable volubility she described the loves of Mr.• Dennis Murphy, the coal-whipper, and Mrs. Judith Angel, the cobbler's wife, and declared their conduct was " shocking to see—seeing as how they were both married and had families." Mrs. Angel was not abashed by the " damning evidence of her guilt," and the Magis trate held the defendant in his own recognizances to keep the peace, and told the " lady" that she went forth from that place a tainted and guilty woman. Thus end the loves of the Angel family. The Court of Chancery did not. commence business on Saturday morning till half-past eleven o'clock, being an hour and a half later than the usual time, in con sequence of the LORD CHANCELLOR being closeted with the Duke of WELLINGTON for upwards of an hour. There is at present at Tattershall an ass, be longing to Mr. ROBERT LILL, upwards of 36 years of age. Every day it goes to work, and appears not at all impaired in strength by age. The newspapers have lately teemed with stories of disaffection and insurrection in Ireland; to balance which, in some degree, we beg to revive a charac teristic anecdote of Hibernian loyalty :—" A true-hearted son of the sod, who had, by pushing hard, obtained the distinction of shaking bands with the Kixo on hie visit to Ireland, in a moment of elevation, held up his honoured manes, exclaiming,—' Luk there! that is the very right hand which the KING, God bless him, shuk ; and, by my soul, it is as chine there as ever ; for I have never washed it since ! !"'—Literary Gazette. Great discontent has within a short time been created among the inhabitants of the east end of the me tropolis, by the exclusion of the public from three of their accustomed and most favourite promenades—viz. the long wharf within the Tower, the terrace and principal square within the walls, and the promenade in front of the New Custom-house. No official reasons are given for those restrictions, but the statement which has gone abroad is, that no persons are to be permitted to walk on the wharf, in consequence of sonic persons have occasionally stolen bits of lead from the touch-holes of the cannon which are placed there, and which are under the care of sentinels, who, in general, suffer no one to approach them.— Observer. On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, as Mr. J. M. SMITII, son of the proprietor of the Mersey Mills, in Heaton Norris, was returning home, he was attacked about half way between the Ledge-gate .and Reddish house, by a fellow who threw a quantity of oil of vitriol at his face, the greater portion of which Le received on his hat, though so much reached his face as to inflict the most serious injury. It was very dark at the time, and with so much celerity was the act perpetrated, that it is too much to be feared there is not sufficient identity of the cowardly assassin. The perpetration of the above diabo lical outrage has diffused a general feeling of alarm over the minds of the master-manufacturers here connected with the turn-out. A reward of 1001. is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the offender. —Stockport Advertiser of Friday.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, A ug. S.) SEMLIN, JULY'•l2.—The news from the theatre of war is not very favourable to the Turks, and the authorities at Belgrade manifest serious alarms. It seems that the Russians meet with no farther ob stacles to the passage of the Balkan, and commercial letters from Sophia affirm that their light troops had already been seen upon the 12th at Sagaru, on the road from Aidos to Bourgas, and at Karnahat. Hussein Pacha, who is at Bourgas with 0,000 men, has, however, undertaken nothing against the enemy, because the Turkish Generals have received orders not to risk any thing, and to remain upon the defensive. The Recounts from Constantinople art also unfr ♦ourablc. Party spirit, the most formidable chetny nlf the Sultan, is again active, and, notwithstanding the care taken by the Government to eonceal tin * favourable news, the discontented find means to make every thing public. The Sultan is really in a critical situation, anti his firmness deserves the more praise on that account. The arrival of the French and English Ambassadors is a very happy eireum ,Aarree for him, as it justifies his conduct in the eyes .oif the Mussulmans, and gives occasion to speak of the assistance which h'e would receive from the English marine if he should be obliged to yield to the superiority of Russia. lle is persuaded that the existence of his empire is necessary to the ha• lance of Earope, and that it cannot be weakened without endangering that balance, and he there fore lets events take their muse ; but, notwith standing this confidence, the appearance of the `troops at a small distance from Constantinople might disconcert the Sultan and the people. It seems that General Diebitsch is resolved to effect a junc tion with the Russian garrison at Sizi boll, and if he succeeds in this, it does not appear that the protes tations of the English Plenipotentiary would do to repulse him from the capital. The 'Persian Ambas sador, who, when he left Constantinople, was to proceed to London, changed his plan since the ar rival of the English Ambassador. lle will set out in a short time for Teheran, where apprehensions are still felt for the consequent-es of the crime com mitted an the person of the Russian Ambassador. It is said that two English travellers were the first Europeans who arrived at Teheran after that event. The greatest honours were paid to them, and a de putation was sent to them by the city to explain the circumstances, and to endeavour to excuse them as far as possible. The Persian people highly value the friendship of England, and the Persian Ambassador seems to have come to Constantinople more to open a more intimate communication with the English, than to strengthen the alliance with the Ottoman Porte. (From the Journal des Debuts.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.---The hopes of peace with Russia, which within these few days past appeared likely to be realized, hare now, according to the statement of some diplomatic agents ) very much diminished since the last news from Shumla. Still every hope of accommodation is not entirely lost, and the presence of the two Ambassadors, xvito, as is well known, have renewed their relations with the Porte, will tend very much to muse a ces sation of hostilities ; for the Porte places full confi dence in the Courts of France and England, and will be very much disposed to show a great deal of conde&;cansion towards them, as soon as assurance is tY'.ven that Turkey will not be asked to accede to a disgraceful peace, or accept humiliating conditions. The following are the details of the reception of Mr. Gordon, the British Minister Plenipotentiary, at the Palace of the Portent Constantinople, by the Kaimakan, as substitute for the Grand Vizier : At half-past eleven o'clock in the morning, the procession left the hotel of the British Legation, and proceeded by way of Pera to Tophane, the place of embarkation, for the Palace of the Porte. The procession was headed by three trumpeters, followed by 120 1-lulans of the Guard of the Grand Seignor, two Alai Tschauscha on horseback (farriers to the Court), 11 Tschokadores of the Ambassador, dressed in white, and 18 in red, 16 domestics in yellow livery, preceded by a servant of the apart ments, six valets de chambres in deep blue habits with gold lace, in the midst of whom rode the Clerk of the Chancellery, Della Roca, as Messenger to the Embassy. A band of music from the English frigate, the Blonde, accompanied the procession, preceding the Dimbaschi Arnibey of the Guard of the Grand Seignor, sent to meet the Plenipotentiary, in quality of Mimandahr (commissioner.) Then followed the two Drogmans, Frederick Hisani and WOod, in blue uniforms with red facings; the two Drogmans, Calavro and Antoine Pisani, in the oriental costume; the corps of officers of the English vessel of war stationed at the port of Constantinople; the first Drogman, M. Chabert, accompanied by a page of the Porte and two footmen; then the Secretary to the Embassy, Mr. Parish, bearing the credentials, surrounded by six servants in sky blue livery, hold ing silver staves in their hands. After these came Mr. Gordon, the Minister Plenipotentiary, accom panied by the Lords Dunlo, Yarmouth, and Gros venor; Messrs. Mellish, Villiers,and other members of the British Embassy. Then followed a company of English marines in scarlet uniform, carrying their muskets with fixed bayonets, and the Subaschi (the overseer of the police) of Galata, with a small reti nue; the British Consul-General, Mr. Cartwright, and the gentlemen of the Chancellery office; and lastly, all the English resident or at the time being in Constantinople. One hundred and twenty of the Horse Guards of the Sultan closed the pro cession. arrived at Tophane, the Ambassador em barked with tge principal persons of the legation, in the grand yacht of the embassy. The rest of the procession went on board the boats of the English war or merchant vessels in the bay. The party landed at the Custom-house, where the Ambassador wasreceived by the Tschauch-baschi and introduced to the Kiosk of the Director of Police. Here the accustomed honours here paid him, and lie was presented with coffee, pipes, and sweetmeats. From this place, the cortege proceeded through the gate of the gardens (Boghsche-kapidsay) and the road of the Divan, in the direction of the Palace of the Porte. The same order was observed as when the procession first started from the faubourg of Pera, except that the Tschauch-baschi, who had done the honours to the Ambassador, rode at his left hand, and a dozen officers of police took their station in different parts of the procession, to pre serve order. The troops of the English marine advanced with drums beating and trumpets sounding, in the midst of an innumerable crowd of spectators, who had not witnessed a similar scene since the embassies of Count de Virmont and the Russian General Kutusoff. The procession, which was opened and closed in the manner we have stated, by 250 men of the guard of the Grand Seignor, having arrived in the great exterior Court of the Palace of the Porte, was there met by 800 infantry soldiers, commanded by the Seraskier in person, and drawn up in order of battle. This superb body of troops performed the military honours. The English soldiers lined the grand staircase leading to the hall of the Divan; the band executing at the same time different tunes upon their instruments. Scarcely had the Ambassadors entered the state apartments of the Grand Vizier, than the Kai maim) Paella appeared surrounded by Ministers.— He was received by the Turkish courtiers with a triple alkisch (acclamation) and took his seat in the corner of the vast sofa, having on his right the Reis-Effendi, and the Metz-tubschi ( Secretary to the Cabinet), and on his left the other Ministers and the Tschauch-basehi. The Ambassador took his place in an elbow chair in front of the Kaimakan, and pronounced slowly in English a speech, which was translated into Turkish by Esrar-Effendi, in the absence of the Dragoman of the Porte (Ischak-Effendi, sent to the W ~ ~.:~ i.-._. camp of Shumla). The speech took nearly half an hour in the delivery. The Kaimacan immediately replied. The Ambassador was invested with the robe of a Hervani (a military mantle) of yellow eloth, very richly emb ro id ere d w i t h go ld on the neck and mar gin, awl adorned with an agrafe of diarnonils. All the perioun in the suite of the Arnbassadot' who were admitted to the andien - ee,—that is to say, the secretaries and gentlemen of the embassy,—also re ceived yellow, scarlet, crimson and orange hervanis of value proportioned to the rank of each individual. The Ambassador's mantle is estimated at 8,000 piasters. In times of peace, the Ambassadors are invested with pelisses of honour. Ateording to the reforms introduced by his last ortliiiance, the Sultan and all the grandees of the empire wear only hervanis dur ing war. Ile has thus assimilated the dress of the English Ambassador to his own, and the richness of the agrafe of the mantle is a substitute for that of the pelisse. It should be remarked, that according to the ordinance, no one except the Sultan wears diamonds on the colh bt his mantle. Whet► the ceremony was over, the Ambassador returned to his hotel in Pera with the same ceremony. The English and French ships in Constantinople roads had all their colours displayed during the whole of the day, which contributed net a little to the splendour of t hesccne, Monday ; the 13th July, is fixed for the solemn audience of the British Ambasadcr by the Sultan. It will take place in the plain of Bujukdere, under the magnificent tents of the Grand Seignor, which were got up for the festival of the Kurban-Beiram. The two frigates, the Mut* and the Armidc, which brought the two Ambassadors, and which lay at an chor off Tophana, have taken their station in the Bay of Bujukdere, to co-operate in the splendour of the fete, which every thing indicates will be most brilliant. (From the Constitutionnel.) RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 18.—The Portuguese troops, under the command of Colonel Biota° Maria, which have arrived here, remained for some days on board their ships.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, AUG. 2. FROM TILE BIVOUAC AT DERIVISCII•JOWAN, 9TI (21ST) JULY. The surrender of Silistria having rendered the corps employed in besieging it disposable for other operations, the Commander-in-Chief resolved to cross the Balkan with the greater part of his force. Accordingly, General Krassowsky was ordered, with the greater part of the besieging corps, immediately to join the army assembled before Shumla, and at the same time to detach a column directly against Kosludjih. Notwithstanding the great exertions of that General, the time employed in taking possession of that fortress occupied some days, so that the last division of his troops did not join the army till the 3d ( 15th) July. The movements preparatory to passing the mountain had already begun : the troops were to advance in two columns. The right, con sisting of 14 battalions and two regiments of Cos sacks, under Gen. Rudiger, took the direction of Kiuprikioi, to cover the flank of the left column, and facilitate its operations. This column, consisting of 18 battalions, 16 squadrons, and two regiments of Cossacks, had orders to force the passage over the Kamtschik. Besides this, a reserve of 22 batta lions, eight squadrons, and two regiments of Cos sacks, tinder Count Pahlen, was to follow the columns at a short distance, in order to support either of them, if necessary. Gen. Krassowsky, with 23 battalions, 40 squadrons, and four regiments of Cossacks, remained near Shumla, to observe the Grand Vizier and cover the line of operations of the troops that were to cross the Balkan. All the accounts agree that the attention of the enemy was exclusively directed to the defence of Shumla, which he supposed to be seriously threat ened, and had consequently left the lower Kamts chik bare of troops. As the Turks in this manner favoured our plans, it was necessary above all things not to let them see our real intentions, but keep them in error as long as possible. With this view the march of the troops from the camp before Shumla always took place in the night in profound silence, and not till the troops from Silistria sup plied the vacancy. In this manner in the night of the Ist (13th) the place of General Roth's corps was supplied by the first division of General Krassowsky's corps, and of General Rudiger in the night of the 3d (15th), by the 2d division. The reserve of Count Pahlen and General Eras sowsky did not leave the camp at Jenschekioi, be fore Shumla, till the night of the sth (17th). The corps of Krassowsky remained in a position at Jenibazar, and the reserve, with which the head quarters were, pushed its advanced posts to Dewno. The Grand Vizier did not in any manner molest us in our movements before Shumla, but con tented himself with sending out, on the 6th (18th) in the morning, 1,000 cavalry, who cautiously sta tioned themselves in sight of the out-posts of our Cossacks. Meantime the columns of Generals Roth and Ru diger had proceeded towards Kamtschik, the first by way of Dewno and Hassanlar, the second by way of Markowesi and Kadikioi. The Kamtschik, which is not a vet) , broad but a rapid river, with a few fords, and those dangerous, was the first ob stacle to be overcome to reach the Balkan. The Turks had thrown up entrenchments, provided with artillery, at every accessible point. General Rudiger, on arriving at Kadikioi, learned that the enemy had, at Kiuprikioi, a body of 3,000 men, which could not be attacked in front without great loss. He therefore sent General Giroff with two battalions and a regiment of Cossacks, directly towards Kiuprikioi to engage the Turks in front, N% bile he himself, with his main force, resolved to turn the enemy's position, and pass the river at Cra lamaly, five or six wersts below Kiuprikioi. On the 17th, at six in the morning, he appeared before Cralamaly, where he surprised a corps of about 1,000 Turks, who dispersed at his approach, leaving their camp and three pair of colours. In the night Gen. Rudiger had a bridge thrown over, and crossed the river, and on the 6th (18th) early, he marched with 10 battalions against Kiuprikioi, leaving two batta lions at Cralamaly. Jussuf, Pacha of two tails, who commanded in Kiuprikioi, attempted to resist, and drew up his men in order of battle on the emi nence near the village.. General Rudiger ordered General Prince Gortschakoff, with the 35th and 36th Regiment of Yagers, to march directly against the enemy, and General Rajowsk3, with the 37th and 38th Regiments of Yagers to turn the right wing of the Turks. Our troops advanced with drums beating, and their muskets in rest, without firing a shot. The enemy fled, arid was pursued by Gen. Rajowsky, who took four cannon, and some pri soners, Jussuf Pacha's camp, and two pair of colours. It is remarkable that the decisive attack on Kiuprikioi did not cost us a man. Only on the day before the attack on Cralamaly, and in the move ment of General Giroff, we had 13 killed, and eight wounded. General Rudiger left the before-men tioned battalions of General Rajowsky at Kiupri kioi, and marched himself down the right bank of the Kamtschik to support General Roth, if needful. The latter had in the night of the sth (17th) of July reached the bank of the Kamtschik at the place where it crosses.the road fromVarna andßourgas. The anemy had on the other side of the river an Wrench. meat, with 12 cannon, and a brisk cannonade began on both sides. General Roth, seeing that this was of no avail, resolved to cross the river seven wersts below the Turkish position ; near the village of Duia per, and so get into the enemy's rear. in the night he left General Vroloff, with some battalions on the high road, and marched himself, with 14 battalions, through an almost impassable country, by a by-road leading to Dulgaer. Here, too, the enemy had an intrenchment, but without artillery. The bad roads and time spent in throwing four bridges over so many arms of the Kamtschik, delayed our operations so much that we could not cross till day-break on the 7th (19tii.) General Weljamenoff, at the head of the four battalions, attacked the enemy's intrench ment, and took it without difficulty, as the Turks threw away their arms and fled. On this success General Roth immediately marched towards Der wisch-Jowan, the head-quarters of Ali Scheffik, Paella of two tails, to whom the defence of the Lower Kamtschik was intrusted. Notwithstanding the bad roads, we reached the enemy's camp. A newly for'med regular regiment of Turkish cavalry at first showed itself, and was in a moment repulsed by the Hulans of Charkoff and the Jegeff Cossacks. The intrenchments covering the enemy's camp were soon taken by the regiment of infantry of Allison, the Charkoff and Courland re g iment of Hulans, and the 36th Yagers, supporte d by sixteen pieces of cannon. The enemy, who were closely pursued, had many killed. The whole camp, five cannon, five powder-waggons, ,six pair of colours, and 200 prisoners were taken. General Fretoff being informed of the success of General Roth, resolved also to attack the enemy. A troop of volunteers of the 9th and 10th Yagers, without waiting to find a ford, plunged into the river to swim across; this boldness surprised the enemy, who only took time to fire a discharge of grape-shot and carry off their guns in the greatest haste, and retreat to Aspro. 100 Cossacks of Bogdanoff's regiment, who swam over the river after the Yagers, pursued the Turks, and took one gun. On the Bth (20th) General Roth marched towards Aspro, and pushed his advanced guard to Palisfana, the most elevated point of the great Balkan. The enemy \vas struck with such terror, that he did not even attempt to dispute the passage over this lofty mountain, which may be con sidered as having been overcome at least by the left column. The right column, under General Rudiger, arrived en the Bth (20th) at Trunduschlidere, his advanced guard at Ai Wadschik. The reserve of Count Pahlen, with the head quarters, was on the 7th (19th) at Hassanlar, and on the Bth (20th) at Derwisch-Isman. On the whole the actions of the 17th, 18th, and 19th, N. S., which have, with so much credit to our troops, opened the gates of the Balkan, cost the enemy 10 cannon, 14 standards, and nearly 400 prisoners, and a great number of killed. All our troops continue their movements to-day. The Grand Vizier has not yet made the smallest movement from Shumla. The latest Papers from St. Petersburgh contain an account from the army of the Caucases of 4th (16th), and 16th (28th) June. General Paske witseh had passed the mountain of Sagantu, to the great surprise of the Turks. An action took place with a corps of 1,200 Turkish infantry and 400 cavalry, who had 300 killed and wounded, and lost eight standards and 100 prisoners, while the loss of the Russians was very small.—Prussian State Ga zette, Aug. 3. FRANKFORT, AUG. 2.—We have •eceived the Courtier de Smyrne of the 21st and 28th of June: we extract the following article " It is positively affirmed, that an English frigate, cruising off the Gulf of Volo, having met with the Greek steam-boat the Perseverance, which was blockading it, communicated to it the proclamation of the lon►an Government, and desired it to with draw, arid that the Greek captain having positively refused, the frigate fired on the steam-boat, and im mediately sunk it. The particulars of this affair were riot known." (From the Allgemcine Zeitung of Aug. 2.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.—It is said that Mr. Fonton, on opening the negotiations, demanded so large an indemnity for the expellees of the war and private claims, that the Turkish Commissioners de clared that they need not lay such documents be fore their Government, especially as the securities required for the due payment were so humiliating that it was not to be expected the Porte would as sent to them. The securities asked were the occu pation of Silistria and Rudschuck, and all the Turkish fortresses and ports on the Black Sea now occupied by the Russians. It is affirmed, too, that the Porte, on its part, de mands the evacuation of the Turkish territory by the Russian troops. These proposals, if really made, are, however, only preliminary, and may be greatly modified in the negotiations, and at length, perhaps, lead to the de sired resulr, as the communications between the Reis Effendi arid the Grand Vizier are frequent, arid Ishak Effendi, the Dragoman of the Porte, is not yet returned from Shumla. As for the affairs of Greece, the Porte shows no disposition to recognize the new state, and will pro tract the business, unless the negotiators should find means to give it a favourable turn. The accounts from Asia are not favourable. The plague spreads in the camp at Erzerotim, and Gene ral Paskewitseh has received the reinforcements which he waited for in order to advance. News from Egypt sa y s that th e P ae lla is organiz ing the new regim e nt s o f cava l r y an d infantry with great zeal, and that he will assist the Porte by sub sidies only, requiring all his troops against the Wecbabites. The Capitan Pacha is getting his fleet ready to sail into the Black Sea; the building of the ships on the stocks proceeds rapidly. An attempt was made yesterday to launch an 80-gun ship, but it failed. Many persons were wounded, and the hull of the ship was saved with difficulty. - ' BnussErs, AuG. 7.—Prince Albert, of Prussia, left this city on Wednesday night to return to Berlin. It is reported at Luxemburg that the King will visit that c►ty and grand duchy, in company of the King of Prussia. THE EXCLUSIVES !—Of all the fashionable novels, published lately, not one attempted to describe what passes in that select coterie of the haul monde,. that small circle within the circles—that " sochite choisie," whose laws of exclusion are more rigid than those of ALMACK'S or even than those of Palaces. We understand that in the novel of " The ExcluAves" a revelation is about to be made of some of the secrets of this despotic body of ton ; a picture which will surprise the world of fashion, no less than the world in general. The author is confidently said to be of the highest rank attain able by a subject. THE NEW POLICE FORCE.—The Commis sioners of the Metropolitan Police sit daily in an apartment at the Home Office, and are in constant communication with Mr. PEEL. Circulars have been despatched to the different parishes in which it is intended to commence the experiment under the Bill, and preference will, we pre sume, be given to such watchmen as come within the pro visions of the Act (that is to say, under 35 years of age, and not less than five feet seven inches in height), who may be considered deserving of conAdence. The present Bow-street night patrol, under similar circumstances, we trust will also be employed. The men, we understand, are to be on duty both night and day, and are to be re lieved at stated hours—to be alternately engaged sixteen hours out of the four-and-twenty on one day, and eight hours on the other. The pay of the privates will amount, we believe, to a guinea a-week. The sergeants are to have higher pay. They are all to wear a uniform costume— blue frock-coats, with white metal buttons, bearing the words " Metropolitan Police Force." A straight sword, a broad black belt round their waists, and a brass plate bearing their number. In addition to this, they will carry a small turned staff of authority. Each district will have its given number of men and sergeants, over whom a super intendent will keep a watchful eye, and report any im propriety or negligence to the Commissioners. The offenders who may be apprehended during the day or night will, it is understood, be taken before the Police Magis trates as heretofore. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1829. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left town this morning, on a visit to his MAJESTY at Windsor. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town this day at two o'clock, from Northamptonshire, he was immediately joined by Sir H. I.IA r. FORD, who remained closeted with the Noble Duke for a considerable time. Mr. HUSK ISSON left town this morning on a visit to his constituents at Liverpool. 'We un derstand it is the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman, after making a short stay at Liver pool, to make a tour of the Northern Counties. Despatches were received this morning at the Foreign Office, from Lord STUART DE ROTH SAY at Paris, Sir CHARLES BAGOT at Brus sels, and Lord COWLEY at Vienna. The despatches received last night at the Fo reign Office, from the Right Hon. R. GOR DON, are dated Constantinople, July 17. On the day previous Mr. GORDON had an interview with the SULTAN, and was most favourably received, and from the megociations that have already been carried on between the Allied Am- bassadors and the Porte, a most favourable termination is confidently expected. By the Flanders Mail, which arrived yester day, we have received the Prussian State Ga zette to the 4th instant, which contains news of considerable interest from various quarters of the theatre of war. The Russians, it seems, have succeeded in deceiving the enemy in Shumla, as regards the object of their march. The Turks, imagining that that town was threatened, directed their entire attention to it, while the Russians, with a view to keep up the delusion, never moved any of their troops from Shumla, until their place was supplied by reinforcements from Silistria, when a vigorous movement took place silently ; and, by night. " On the Bth," says the Prussian State Gazette, after de tailing a variety of preliminary movements and skirmishes, " General ROTH marched towards Aspro, and pushed his advanced guard to Palis fana, the most elevated point of the Great Bal kan. The enemy was struck with such terror, that he did not even attempt to dispute the pas sage over this lofty mountain, which may be con sidered as having been overcome at least by the left column. All our troops continue their movements to-day. The GRAND VIZIER has not made the smallest movement from Shumla." Thus it should seem that the Turks have been completely out-generalled, while the Russians have displayed a degree of promptness, dexterity, decision, and perseverance singularly contrasted with their lethargic and in efficient movements during the last camp a i gn .— For further particulars respecting the now really important movements of the Russians, and especially of their passage of the Balkan, we refer our readers to the copious extracts we have given from the Prussian State Gazette. They will be found, in every respect, worth their attention. The Allgemeine Zeitung, dated August 2, received by the same mail, states, that on opening the negotiations, M. FoNToN de manded so large an indemnity for the ex penses of the war and private claims, that the Turkish Commissioners declared that they need not lay such documents before their Government. Th e secur i t i es asked were the occupation of Silistria and Rudichuk, and all the Turkish fortresses and ports on the Black Sea now occupied by the Russians. It is af firmed that the PORTE, on its part, demand the evacuation of the Turkish territory by the enemy's troops. " These proposals," adds the Allgemcinc Zeitung, c , if really made, are, how ever, :only preliminary, and may be greatly modi fied in the negociation, and at length, perhaps, lead to the desired result, as the communica tions between the REIS EFFENDI and the GRAND VIZIER are frequent, and IsnAK EF FENDI, the Dragoman of the PORTE, is not yet returned from Shumla." The French Papers state that the accounts from Constantinople are of a very unfavourable description. Party spirit, it, seems, is again at work, and, notwithstanding the great pains take❑ by the Government to conceal unpleasant intelligence, the discontented contrive, by some means or other, to make every thing public. " The SULTAN," observes the Gazette de France, "is really in a critical condition. He is persuaded that the existence of his empire is necessary to the balance of Europe, and that it cannot be weakened without endangering that balance, and he therefore lets events take their course." This blind confidence on the neces sities of other Powers, is somewhat at variance with the so generally received opinion of the SULTAN'S great decision and sagacity. From all that we have ever read of his character, he is the last man on earth to be guided by the march of events. His great European reputation has been gained by thinking and acting for himself, by creating rather than following circumstances. The Journal des Debats, dated July 10, which contains some interesting particulars re specting the reception of Mr. GORDON, the British Minister Plenipotentiary at the palace of thePoRTE at Constantinople, by the KA IMA KA N, as substitute for the GRAND VIZIER, for which we refer our readers to the extracts, states also, that the hopes of peace with Russia, which within these few days past " appeared likely to be realized, have now, according to the statement of some diplomatic agents, very much diminished since the last news from Shumla. Still every hope of accommodation is not entirely lost, and the presence of the two Ambassadors, who, as is well known, have renewed their relations with the PORTE, will tend very much to cause a ces sation of hostilities; for the PORTE places full confidence in the Courts of France and England." The advices from Catalonia this morning state that the Wheat crop generally in that province promised an abundance. Dutch Papers, on the authority of a letter, dated Constantinople, July 11, state that a re markable finnan has been sent to the provinces, calling upon all the faithful, who are able to bear arms, to repair immediately to the army. Mean- ime, a report is generally spread in the capital, that in case the Russians should advance to Adrianople, a part of the English fleet will pass the Dardanelles, to protect the capital. This news is announced with great confidence. The same Papers say, that it is generally be- lieved at Odessa that Count DI EBITSCH is marching against Bourgas, and that Admiral GREIG takes on board 15,000 men at Varna, to land between Bourgas and Sizeboli, by which means the Turks will be threatened both in flank and rear, and perhaps be obliged to retreat to Adrianople ST. PETERSBURG H, JULY 24.—His Majesty arrived yesterday in perfect health at Zarsk6eselo. Up to the 23d inst, 787 ships have arrived at Cron stadt—sailed 394. ODEsSA, JULY 15.—1 t is generally believed here that Count Diebitsch has passed the Balkan, and is marching against Bourgas. Admiral Greig takes on board 15,000 men at Varna, to land them between Bourgas and Sizeboli, by which means the Turks will be threatened both i❑ flank and rear, and will, it is hoped, be thus obliged to retreat to Adrianople. WARSAW, JULY 27.—The army of the Grand Vizier daily diminishes; he is closely shut up in Shumla, and daily looks for reinforcements; yet he, himself, doubts of being able to defend the place, as several skirmishes have already occurred in which the Russiaas had the advantage.

Anglo-Danish Loan, 3 per cent Anglo-Russian Loan 974 Hamburg-Russian Loan 92% Polish Bonds lOl% Austrian Bank Shares 1147 Austrian Metalliques lOO By the Turkey mail, we have this morning re ceived commercial letters from Constantinople to the 11th, and from Smyrna to the sth. A large new Turkish frigate had been launched at the Arsenal on the Bth, and had joined the Black Sea squadron. Some of the smaller Turkish vessels had sailed into the Black Sea on the 7th, but had subsequently returned without meeting with the Russian squadron. The Hinde cutter had sailed downwards, and his Majesty's ship Rffleman and Blonde had proceeded up the Bosphorus to that port. The intelligence re ceived at Constantinople, from the East, is said to be very unfavourable. The plague had shown itself in the Ottoman camp, and General PAS XEWITSCH had been considerably reinforced. The Viceroy of EGYPT was actively organiz ing both his cavalry and infantry, but it was known this force was to oppose the Wechabites. We learn, on the authority of a private Cor respondent, who dates from Paris, on the Bth, that the French Ministry is changed. " The Prince de POLIGNAC," says the writer, " has been charged to form a new Administration.— The Ordinance is to be signed to-day, at St. Cloud it will appear to-morrow, in the Mo niteur. I can state, with certainty, that Nl° POLIGNAC is Minister of Foreign Affair s; M. de la BOURDONNAYE, Minister orthe terior ; and Admiral de RIGNY, Minister of th e Marine. There arc persons whom this sweepi"g change will surprise ; especially as the Ex-11T' nisterial Paper, the Messager des Chambre s ' had denied, in the most positive manner, that at'Y change was to take place. The Ex-Minist ers themselves made the same statement so late as yesterday. The Royalists are overjoyed at th e triumph of their party, for such they consider th e change to be, as all the new Ministers belong t ° the right, or to the centre right." An article, supposed to be a Manifesto of the home an d foreign policy of the new Ministry, has appear ed in the Gazette de France. This Manifesto j 5 wordy and general ; it talks much of the Soo' reign Prerogative, but is far from being eith er illiberal or exclusive. \Ve are sorry to learn that nothing has Y 6 l been decided on, with res p ec t t o a su pply water to the Metropolis. When we consid er the great importance of such a supply, and th e amazing impurity (not to say poisonous character) of the Thames water at the places from whi ch it has at present been t a k en , we canno t but fee l regret that some decided steps have not bee n taken on the subject. A few days sinc e ' after numerous surveys had been made along the line of the river, it was proposed to procure wat er from Richmond, by means of the boundary c't of Kew and Richmond Gardens. This, JO; ever, after being duly proposed to, was decline': by, the Government on some, not very intell y gible plea, and the Company are consequen tl i still on the look out for some other eligible sit e ' We hope whatever plans they may fina il l think fit to adopt, they will use no delay, bUt adopt and carry them into execution quicklie The subject is of the very utmost importanc e ' it regards the health of thousands of his .1 415-4 JESTY'S subjects, and cannot be too sc °° disposed of.

The past week brought another very large supply of foreign Wheat and Oats to market, but not much English Corn. This morning the quantity of home-grown Corn is inconsiderable, but the market is full of foreign sam , - pies. Notwithstanding the heavy rain to-day, the prices of Wheat remain as Vast week, the only effort at present being to prevent a reduction in value. ° Barley is scarce and unaltered. Beans are- dull, and Is. per quarter cheaper. Pease have no variation. The Oat trade is so very heavy, except for stout parcels, that to make sales less prices must he taken. There is not much doing in the Flour trade, and prices are unvaried. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. White (old) —s. —s. -- Red (1828) Fine Ms. 60s. Superfine.. 645. 70s.

A new production of Signor Rossim's lyric pen, under the title of Guillaume Tell, is now attracting the musical woad of Paris to the Academie Royale, and has become the all-absorbing theme of conversation in the philharmonic circles of that capital. It is a kind of melo dramatic opera, extended to no less than four acts, and appears to combine a greater share of accessories in scenery, decorations, and choregraphic exhibitions, than has been added to any similar spectacle brought out at the same theatre, under the comprehensive denomination of Grand Opera. The music is spoken of as being of a very distin guished character.—Morning Paper. New— The performances at the Salle Favart on Wednes day last were The Stranger and the fourth act of The Merchant of .Venice. Mrs. West, who took the character of Airs. Haller, was assailed through out the piece by tbe most obstinate hissing, which the applause of the rest could not sub•ltv.. In the third act, says the French writer, the trembling Mrs. Haller fell at the feet of the Countess, less overcome by her painful confessions than by the ungenerous usage of the audience. The two ladies then re tired, and Mr. AbBOT, who had not sustained any part in the piece, came forward and addressed the house (a improvise) in the French language:— " Gentlemen, I come to make an appeal to French gallantry and generosity,"—(Loud applause.) NinitEnotis VoteES---" The hisses are neither French nor English, they are the canaille." Mr. AIMOT—" You have witnessed our first essays with much indulgence; you will not, I trust, refuse to hear an actress, who endured so much suffering in order that the performance might not be interrupted.—(Prolonged plaudits.)—Re member, I pray you, that our companion is a stranger and a female." ENGLISH THEATRE IN PARIS, This address in a great measure prevailed. A Brussels Paper says that an Englishman performed the journey from London to Paris for the express purpose of hissing Mrs. West. . MURDER IN NORFOLK. A man named Richard Scott was committed to Norwich Castle a few days ago, charged with the murder of James Freeman. This dreadful occur- rence took place on Saturday afternoon, in the pa rish of Carleton Rode, near Higham, under the fol lowing deplorable circumstances :—lt appears that Scott, in whose family insanity is said to have pre vailed, went on Friday morning last into the Queen's Head public-house, at Barnwell, and there alarmed the landlady by his wild looks and violent behaviour, striking his hand with great force on the table in the kitchen, and exclaiming at the same time, " Look, there is the devil ; I can see him." The man after wards, on leaving the public-house, went to his own residence, in:Carletoratode, and there repeated simi lar acts of frenzy. On the following morning (Sa turday) Scott went to a surgeon, to be bled, and on his return, after having had the operation performed on him, he accidentally met, on the public road, the unfortunate James Freeman, a man of eighty years of age, who had been walking that morning from the county gaol, whence he was discharged, after a short imprisonment for some minor offence. Scott no sooner approached the poor old man than he, mad man-like, cried out, " here is the devil 1" and in stantly aimed a blow at him with a large stick, which felled Freeman to the ground. The wretched maniac then, with repeated blows, fractured the skull of his victim in a dreadful manner, and speedily put an end to his existence.. This murderous at tack happened to be seen by a person, who ran to the place, and seized hold of Scott, who yielded up both the deadly weapon and himself without resist ance; and with the aid of other persons he was con veyed to his own cottage, and there kept in close custody. His behaviour when there was compara tively tranquil, but his language was of the same in coherent and distempered cast as before; and in consequence of the strong muscular effort which he had recently exerted with such fatal effect, the vein that had been opened in his arm burst out a f res h, and he was reduced to a state of great weakness and exhaustion by loss of blood. A Coroner's In quest having been held on the body of the deceased, after the facts of the case had been adduced in evi dence, a verdict was returned by the Jury, of Wil ful Murder against Richard Scott, and he was forthwith committed to the Castle at Norwich.— Norwich Gazette. AWFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) ABERDEEN, AUGUST s.—Since the great storms in 1799 and 1812, no similar visitation has happen ed in this quarter, that could at all be compared to the deluge of Monday last. The wind blew chiefly from N. and N. N. W. and the rain fell in torrents during the whole day, and the greatest part of the succeeding night; extending along the line of the Moray Firth, and over the whole of this and the adjoining counties. The consequence has been the flooding of the rivers, streams, and burns of the dis tricts, to a degree that is but too fatally evinced by the scenes of devastation and mischief that mark their course. In the river Dee the rising of the water was first perceptible on Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, from which hour it continued to increase till a late hour on Tuesday morning, when it had attained an elevation of about eight feet above its ordinary level, and in some confined places not less than 12 feet; and the quantity of water dis charged by it may be estimated from the fact, that at the time of dead low water, the whole expanse of our harbour NI, as filled to the height of an ordi nary spring -tide. A similar rise took place in the Don, the Ury, and the Deveron. It was lament able to see the multitude of sheep and lambs, and the quantity of timber, hay, straw, &c. which floated through the harbour yesterday into the sea, and were lost. The damage over the whole district must have been equally great. One of the most disastrous. effects of the flood that we have hitherto heard of, is the destruction of the beautiful suspen sion bridge at Charleston, recently erected by Lord Aboyne. At the bridge of Dee, the old road was entirely covered; and from Mr. Blaikie's house to the farm of Kemhill, on the north side, was one continued sheet of water, the flood rising to within a foot or two of the present turnpike. The ship ping in the harbour suffered no damage. The water of Feugh rose so as to cover the Bridge, but with the exception of carrying away a part of the parapet, it did no other damage. The aspect of this mountain stream, when at its height, was singularly awful arid grand. The Don along its whole course exhibited the picture of a fright. ful inundation. All that part of the Garioch which borders it and the Ury, was one broad expanse of water. In the town of Kintore, such was the height of the stream that a boat was made use of to effect a communication between the houses; and farther down at the Bridge of Dyce, the whole low grounds were flooded; and on the turnpike road the top of the top of the toll-gate was barely visible. We are sorry to learn that, in attempting to cross the burn at Bridg►end of Monymusk, on horseback, Mr. William Williamson, flesher, George-street, was unfortunately carried off, and drowned. The horse was taken out, a little way down the stream, quite dead. Since writing the above, we have seen the intelli gent guard of the Duke of Gordon coach, who has just returned from Huntly, beyond which place he could not proceed yesterday, and brought back the coach with difficulty to Aberdeen. He gives a very fearful picture of the state of the country, and of the destruction of crop, the breaking up of roads, and the demolition of bridges. From all these circumstances, we begin to fear that the full extent of this calamity is not yet known. WM. FORMAN, Esq. of Pennydarran-place, Glamorganshire, who died a short time back at his house on Cumberland-terrace, in the Regent's Park, was, until his death, a partner with the present Loan MAYOR. He generally resided at Merthyr Tidvill, where the largest manufactory of iron in this kingdom, with the exception of the works of CRAWSIIAY and Co., is carried on. He was likewise greatly concerned in the highly respectable and extensive commercial house at Drapers' Hall, Upper Thames-street, under the firm of THOMPSON, FORMAN, and Son. The LORD MAYOR derived a great portion of his wealth from his uncle, who, with Mr. FORMAN, ori ginally established the works in Wales, and at a period when the same iron which at present sells for six or seven pounds per ton, sold for eighteen or twenty pounds. Mr. FORMAN was a gentleman of the highest honour in all his mercantile transactions, a kind and affectionate husband, and an excellent father. He was buried in the Tower, where, during the war, he was at the head of a lucrative establishment, SPORTING INTELLIGENCI.

MURDER IN PIMLICO. On Saturday afternoon an Inquest was held at the King's Arms, the body of Ann I la. rit:, aged 31, who was by being thrown me a a window t v a man with whom she coha named Michael ketii.e'ily. John Southttwood, beadle of Pimlico; on Thurs day night ; about eleven o'clock, waa accosted by some females in Queen-street, who desired him to be oh the alert that evening, as a man ha(4 threaten ed to murder Mrs. Carter, of the Orange-street Coffee=honse, and draw her like a goose," and also that he would ill treat his wife. 'Witt - ins re plied, that a man might clittste his Ivife if she de , 6erVei it. Bet Ween four and five it the morning ; Weeks, a ttdtchma:n, reported at the watch-house that a man had thrown rile rqfe ent of a window in King-street. Witness went to the heittse, where he F p,w the deceased lying on a bed, and Kenneth' king fly Iler aide, Mrs. Myers, the landlady of the house, asked the di:ceased what had happened, and she replied, " Oh ! father did it; he first ill used me, anti then threw me out of windoiti." slie,re peated this, and added, " So help me God." ken: nedy said to her, " Don't tell a lie ; if you do you will not go to heaven, where they make horses' shoes." Kennedy appeared perfectly sober. The Woman expired about half an hour after; A few minutes before she died, Kennedy charged her with being frequently drunk, and said she would soon recover, and he'd make her answer for it. Weeks, a watchman, about three o'clock in the morning, heard loud cries of " Murder," and " Watch," and proceeding to the place, he found the deceased lying on the pavement in her chemise. Kennedy opened a window ott the second floor; and said, "Is that my Nance—is she going to bring me into trouble again ?" He then came down and dragged her up stairs by the arms, saying, " Nothing is the matter with you." She appeared quite in sensible. Jane Myers, the landlady, was alarmed by the watchman, and looking out of her window, saw the deceased on the ground. She confirmed the evi dence of the first witness, as to the declarations of the deceased, that Kennedy had done it; and added, that the deceased said, " Kennedy was so savage, that he threw her out of the window, after having beaten her, and that God would punish him for what he had done." Mr. Bond, a surgeon, proved that the fall had caused the deceased's death. The Jury returned a verdict of—Wilful Murder against Kennedy ; and the Coroner issued his war rant for his committal. He was immediately taken to Newgate. A CHILD DESTROYED BY ITS MOTHER, WHO AFTERWARDS COMMITTED SUICIDE. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Saturday afternoon inquests were held on the bo dies, before Mr. NEWMAN, Coroner, pro tem., for the city, at the Bull inn. Elizabeth Silk was a widow, and servant to the deceased. About six o'clock on Saturday morning deceased came into her room, and brought with her the children's clothes; two of the children of the deceased, a little boy and girl, slept in the same room with the witness; her mistress said, " I have brought you the children's clothes." She replied ". Very well, ma'am; what o'clock is it ?" to which her mistress replied " Between six and seien." Her mistress then returned to her bed-room, and locked the door after her, and witness went down stairs to her work. Some time after Mr. Bradley wished to have his breakfast, and desired her to go and call her mistress. She went up to the • door, and knocked several times without getting any answer; concluding that she was asleep, she returned down stairs. The witness then proceeded to state that her master rung the breakfast bell, and she (witness) went up stairs again to call her mistress. She knocked again at the door, without receiving any answer, and then went down stairs to mention the circumstance to her master. He became much alarmed, and asked her to go up stairs with him. On arriving at the door, he burst it open, and then wit ness saw a most frightful spectacle. [Here her emotion became so great that she nearly fainted, and if a Juror had not caught her in his arms she would have fallen on the floor.] As soon as she had re covered, The CORONER inquired of her what was the state of her mistress's health before this circumstance oc curred ? Witness replied that she seemed absent sometimes. There was a strange inconsistency about her conduct. She seemed at times very melancholy, and frequently exclaimed, " I don't know what we shall do I" Ann Carrotte was the wife of a gentleman's coachman, and had been acquainted with the de ceased and her child. She was with the deceased and her husband when they entered on possession of the tap of the Bull Inn, on the Ist of July last, and remained with them till last Tuesday. She described the conduct of Mrs. Bradley as amount ing to insanity. Witness gave it as her opinion that the deceased's anxiety about the business, and her having to suckle the child, drove her out of her mind. She was between forty and fifty years of age, and had been married between five and six years, during which time she had had three children, two of which are living. The CORONER asked her if the deceased and her husband had lived on good terms ?—Witness re plied that they had. She had known them since they were married, and a better wife and neighbour did not exist. The CORONER asked her if she was affectionate towards her children ?—The witness replied that a more affectionate mother could not exist, or one fonder of her children. The CORONER asked her if she had ever seen the deceased write ?—Witness said she had, and gave it as her belief that the writing on the piece of paper produced was the deceased's hand-writing. Mr. Thomas Emmett, one of the Jurymen, said that he found the note in question on a table in a room where the bodies lay. Beside it were a spoon containing some ink, with a pen and a case-knife. The CORONER then read the paper, which was as follows : " May the Lord bless my dear husband and chil dren. It is no fault of theirs. God bless my dear husband, and keep him from harm for my doing this. The Lord prosper his: undertakings and my two little children." The Jury, after the evidence had been summed up by the Coroner, gave as their verdict, " That the deceased, Fanny Bradley, had destroyed her child under the excitement of insanity ; and the fit conti nuing, had also subsequently destroyed herself." On Thursday the remains of Baron Hui,- LOCK passed through Oxford, for interment in the family vault near Barnard Castle, in the county of Durham.— The hearse was accompanied by a mourning coach and four through the town, which returned as soon as it had passed St. Giles's church.— Berkshire Chronicle. r , STATE OF TRADE.—DUSHICSS, bad as it is, has been somewhat brisker this week than during the two preceding. For fustians there has been a moderate market, while the country trade in general, owing to a better at tendance of buyers, has, in a trifling degree, looked up._ For the lower numbers of twist there has been an in creased demand for foreign trade. In some instances we know the coarser spinners have engagements which will take at least six months far their completion.—Manchester Advertiser. MATRIMONIAL INFIDELITY.---A most dis tressing case of matrimonial infidelity has just occurred in the western suburbs of this town. A married man, the father of five children, one of them born the previous Sunday, has eloped with a married woman, the mother of seven. Before her departure, the female abstracted from a chest deposited in her husband's house, the property of his sister, a Bank acknowledgment for 301., the hard earned savings of many years, from a very moderate rate of wages received for service in a family in the neighbour hood. The deserted wife is in a state of distraction.— Perth Courier. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC 3OUIINALS. We have just consigned to the limbo of all absurd communications here, a letter, signed " Thomas Oldacre," in which the writer up braids us, kindly but foolishly, for " mislead ' ing the public," as he says, respecting the condi tion of the farmers. We should wish to know if the farmers would thank us for asserting that they arc, as he represents them, all bank rupts and beggars, and of course not to be trusted or allowed any credit for the necessaries which they have occasion to purchase : we think the good rude English spirit of the farming in terest would kick at such insulting imputations as these. We allow that the farmer is not «so well off' as he has been; but can no one recol lect the time (it is not so long ago) when the expene4.›.s and extravagance of this class of per sons were at; much spoken of as their supposed difficulties and distresses are now celebrated ? But why, we ask, should farmers be, as they arc scandalously reported, in the very abyss of bank ruptcy ? COM is at a remunerating price, and live stock of every kiwi high. And as it appears by sure returns that the consumption of tobacco, spirits, wine, and tea, is greater than ever, it is incredible that bread and meat should not also be eaten at least as much as usual in common times. Rates are high—not higher than they have been : on the contrary, better management of them having been introduced by experience, they arc lower. And if rates were high, wages are the reverse. The farmers, also, are not the only people who pay rates ; on the contrary, they have shifted off' a considerable portion of weekly wages to the rate-book, and kindly indulge the shopkeeper with the privilege of paying their labourers. On the recall of the small notes, and the effect pro duced by that measure, the mast erroneous opi nions--.-do not indeed prevail, because we do not suffer them, but—are continually obtruded. Ignorance and stupidity predict ed mischief from the calling in of the small notes, (ignorance anti stupidity having first indeed asserted that the act was impossible); and impudence would now maintain that the mischief has arrived. But why should the ex tinction of the small notes affect the markets ? their place has been supplied by gold. When the 1/. and 2/. notes were in circulation, there was no such thing as gold to be seen : now we see nothing else in small payments. We ourselves refuse it as less convenient than paper. We cannot at once lay our hands upon one of the Bank returns, but there is, no doubt, as much or more money now in circulation as at any an tecedent period since the war ended. And what is the result of all this ? Certainly not that the times ate easy—we would not be mis understood as aiming at such a conclusion, but that the difficulties of them are exaggerated ; that our real sufferings are more sensibly felt, on ac count of the unnatural mid short-lived state of lavish abundance in which we were once placed ; and above all, as we have shown, that the causes of the present pressure are triirepre sented.— Times. In one of the many instructive and entertain ing articles in " The Book of the Boudoir," by Lady Morgan, there are some excellent ob servations on the tactics necessary for combat ting successfully with errors : " The opinions of the world," says her Ladyship, " are usually a mixture of small portions of truth, with an overwhelming mass of error. From amongst an infinite variety of shades, is formed a sort of average doctrine, which constitutes the opinion of the greatest number. . . Around this centre are accumulated the various extremes which represent the prejudices and interests of the smaller corps and categories in society. . . To belong to any of these corps ensures toleration, in proportion to their numbers and respectability; and the same truth may be advanced with different success, according as it is promulgated under the sanction of a powerful or an inefficient name. The Unitarians are permit ted openly to impugn the divinity of our Saviour; and the Quakers are allowed to reject all interfer ence of Priests; while those who are vulgarly and quaintly called Freethinkers, are punished for an idle jest against the Established Church. The for mer existing in considerable bodies, are enabled t o master opinion; while the latter having few to sym pathise with them, are opposed by all the pre judices and all the passions of society, • • • • . . . . It is not then so much the intrinsic opinion to be attacked which is matter for consi deration,_ as the point of view in which it may be presented, and the manner of effecting its separation from the interests in which it is involved. The attack upon established error should resemble that game which children play by casting a bundle of small sticks into a confused heap; and then endeavouring to pick them out one by one without disturbing the rest. We shall begin by casting about for the de tached and isolated points, and next remove those which have the fewest connections—leaving un touched the pieces in which there are the greatest implications—till, at last, perhaps, they will fall by their own weight. . . . The interests and passions of those who may be hoitile to a given reformation are not at all involved in an equal degree. There are thousands and tens of thousands4vho will ac cept of a principle, up to a certain point, where it begins to operate on themselves. With a few ex ceptions, all the world is beginning to be reconciled with free trade in every branch of industry but their own. It is therefore dangerous to push a principle at once to its utmost extreme. The further it is carried the more persons are alarmed, and the less is the shame attendant upon brutish opposition. The moderate, moreover, in all disputes, collect around them the half-thinkers and half-feelers—a powerful faction, embracing those who are too indo lent to inquire or too corrupt to desire a practical improvement to the fullest extent. For such per sonages a middle term is a convenient retreat ; and by neutralizing their opposition, you gain time and a clearer stage. This may not always be very can did ; but if the cosi a cwt.° system be allowable in oratory, it is less justifiable where the grave inte rests of the species are at issue. The numbers of those who see questions in their wholeness are very small; the mass are moved by especial instances and examples. In knowledge nothing is isolated; and the establishment of one truth is the dethrone ment of many others." It is a most material point to know to what extent a person ought to be honest who wishes to avoid being knocked on the head. To know the odour in which opinions are, is of itself a most important science. For want of this know ledge a man may be more dishonest than neces sary ; and his sincerity, instead of benefiting him, may, on the contrary, be of positive disad ' vantage to him. Hypocrisy and mendacity, therefore, require something more than the mere disposition to be insincere. As this world is continually advancing, a cunning man must know when to shift his ground.

little better than a cannibal. The ladies would every where set him down as one whose taste for blood would be likely to gratify itself in some unhallowed way. W e have known many opi nions pass gradually from the obnoxious to the respectable class; and other opinions, once highly respectable, pass into the obnoxi ous and the ridiculous. 'We have Rio doubt that in the course of a year or two, men will be as shy of avowing any partiality for excluding the Catholics from civil rights as of avowing a belief in ghosts or witches. A prudent man, who' never changes his place of abode, may easily, by a little attention, avoid either being too much in advance or too much in the rear of the ri,ght sort of opinions. But then, if he have occasion to change his country, all his previous know ledge goes for nothing. We have known, for instance, Germans who, in their own country, passed for extra-pious, set down in England for , Infidels—so different is opinion in that respect in England "and Germany. The North Ame ricans consider the Unitarians or England, who think themselves excessively liberal, as only a little less bigotted than the Trinitarians. As sentation is thus rendered peculiarly difficult to a stranger in any country, The English Quakers are, we 'ice, excommunicating the American Quakers for heterodoxy ; an Ame rican Quaker in England would, perhaps, be found not sufficiently strict for a High Church man. The English Puritans found in Hol land a safe asylum and the most ample tolera tion ; but they could not themselves tolerate the Dutch, and rather than live in a country in which spiel houses were open on Sabbath, they betook themselves to the wilds of America. The descendants of these very Puritans, who were so shocked by the Dutch laxity, would, in the present day, b e s h unne d b y t h e l atter as Moo logists, a dangerous set of people in every coun. try. It may be allowed, then, that those who question universally-received opinions are fools ; and those who retain opinions generally aban doned are equally fools. But as there always will be fools in the world, we must lay our ac count with a constant warfare against received opinions with various success. It is well to know that knavery is not always a profitable concern, and that honesty is not always a losing One. No means have yet been discovered for retaining the world stationary. Campanella ad vised the Spanish Monarchs, to " erect mathe matical schools, because, by this means, the people's minds will be diverted from creating us any trouble, and will be incited to bend their studies that way which may be useful to the King." Lady Morgan, we observe, has stumbled on the same idea : " I suspect, therefore (she observes), that the current admiration for the mathematics, as an instru ment of mental discipline, arises much more from the safety of such pursuits, and their disconnection with moral and political interests, than from the rigour and exactness of their methods of argumen tation. At the end of a five years' College course, the student is not more likely to question established abuses than if he had spent the time in playing sluttlecock. His moral faculties have been kept perfectly quiescent. Indignation at public and private wrong, contempt for falsehood and disho nesty, the kindling glow of approbation at patriotic self-sacrifice, hare remained unawakened and cold. The perusal of abstractions has shut out all interest or feeling for realities ; and the University whippers in have trained the young hound quite away from the pursuit of forbidden truths. A mere mathe matician is the fittest raw material for manufacturing a passive obedience Parson, or an all-confiding cou ßu t, allowing for the goodness of the inten tion, still the success has been far from complete. Tice Universities of England have not succeeded iu keeping the world stationary ; and at this very moment the enemy is more busy :than ever he was at any former period of our history. Formerly a prejudice or an error would hold out for a score or two of years ; but changes are every day effected with great rapidity. Shovel, hats, as the Quarterly Reviewer feelingly ob served, are fast disappearing ; and there is a close connection between stability of opinions and stability of fashions.—Morning Chronicle. HORRIBLE CASE 01.' SEDUCTION. MANCHESTER POLICE. A case transpired at the New Bailey, on Thursday, which disclosed a most horrible sys tem. About three weeks ago, a person having, from dress and manners, every appearance of a respectable lady, called at a registry office in Bir mingham, and inquired for a young female servant. She described herself as a - Mrs. Wol ling, residing at Hulme, near Wolverhampton ; requiring a young girl to act in the capacity of an assistant servant. The woman who kept the office immediately recommended to her notice a girl named Morgan, who was at that time in service, but who would be at liberty in the course of a week. The girl was immediately sent for; and, upon Mrs. Wolfing stating the nature of the situation sl wished her to fill, and the terms she would give her, she went back, and requested her mistress to allow her to quit that day, as her new mistress was in immediate want of her ser vices. This request was, however, not complied with ; and the new engagement was, in conse quence, not entered into. At the conclusion of her time, Morgan returned to the house, of her grandmother (being an orphan), residing at Wil lenhall, near Wolverhampton. On Saturday last, she was, however, agreeably surprised by the arrival of Mrs. Wolling, for the purpose of re newing her engagement. The poor girl imme diately acquiesced in the proposal ; and her mis tress being extremely urgent, she agreed to return home with her that day. Previous to their leaving, Mrs. Wolling stated, that as it was im possible that the girl's clothes'could be got ready on that day, they had better be forwarded by the carrier on Monday. Instead, nowever, of going to Wolverhampton, they proceeded to Wednes bury, and, upon their arrival at that place, Wol fing communicated to her companion that she had property in the neighbourhood of Man chester ; and, as she understood from a gentle man who had been reading the'newspaper, in the inn, there were at present considerable dis turbances in that town, it would be necessary for her immediately to set off, and sec to its se curity. Upon this statement, the girl agreed to accompany her to Manchester, before going to her residence near Wolverhampton. They con sequently took their places in the next coach, and arrived in this town on Sunday morning last. In the mean time Morgan's sisters and grandmother became extremely alarmed, for, on inquiry, they could not learn that either there was such a place as Hulme, near Wolverhamp ton, nor any family of the name of Wolfing, in the surrounding country. Messengers were im mediately sent off to scour the neighbourhood, and, if possible, discover the retreat of the parties. A Mr. Preston, a neighbour of the Morgans, was extremely active, never having slept from the time the unpleasant discovery was made, until the girl was recovered by her friends. On the Tuesday evening, one of the sisters, who was on the search at Bilston, met with a Welchtnan, who stated that he had been in company the same day with a party at the Red Lion, in Wolverhampton, who were conversing upon the circumstances of the abduction, and one of them said, the woman and the girl had been in that house the day of the flight, and went off by a Wolverhampton coach. This was communi cated to Mr. Preston ; and about twelve o'clock the same night he started off, in company with the girl's sister, to Wolverhampton ) and foiind that this information was e orreett c there learned that the *eine!' and her future victim had peoceeded forward to Manches ter-, whither they immediately followed.=l On their arrival in this ti*n, by the assistance of the police, Wolling and her companion Were traced to a house in Jackson's , lane, ; and a most heart-rending disclo sure followed. The unfortunate girl stated ) that on the Tuesday morning an eidefly gentleman, whom Welling stated to be her uncle, came to the house: lie went directly up stairs to bed ; and shortly afterwards her mistress took her into his room, under the pretence that lie was unwell of the rheumatism, and directed her to rub him all over. This process, she said, was n ecessar y, as he found it impossible to keep himself warm. Here the woman left her ; and, subsequently a scene took place, which, though related in open Court, is unfit for publication. Suffice it to say that the unfortunate girl fell a victim to the arts of the hoary seducer. On going down stairs, in state of great distress, she showed to the pro curess the gifts in jewellery with which the fellow had presented her, who, in reply, said, " Oh, yes, my uncle will be very kind to you, if you will be kind to him." The seducer left the house shortly after he had accomplished his pur pose, on his return to Liverpool. On the girl making this statement ) Welling denied that any man had been in the house since their arrival, except the tax-gatherer : this denial she frequently repeated in the hearing of Mr. Lavender, and Page. On Thursday, when before Mr. Fos ter, she varied her story, and said that a gen tleman had come in on the morning in question to inquire for lodgings ; that while there he was taken ill, and the girl attended him ; but who he was, or what occurred between them, she knew not. It appeared from the evidence of the neighbours that she had occupied the house for about three months, and that it was frequently closed for several days together. Mr. Foster, after hearing these shocking de tails, declared, that if what the girl stated was true, and there was no reason to disbelieve her, the prisoner was the most abandoned wretch that could be conceived ; and as it was very desirable that the fellow for whom she had pandered should be discovered, he remanded her until this day. She stated that she formerly resided in Park-lane, Liverpool ; but on Mr. Foster re questing her to furnish the police with some re ference as to her character and occupation, she was una6le to name one. The prisoner's ap pearance is remarkably genteel, being habited, when in the dock, in a handsome black silk cloak, Leghorn bonnet, and veil. When called upon for her defence, laer manner and utterance were affectedly polite. There is little doubt that she is connected with a gang, who have infested this neighbourhood for a considerable time past; and it is hoped that the present disclosure will lead to a knowledge of the other parties connect ed with this infamous and abominable system. Within these few months, several applications have been made to the police by the friend, of girls who have been decoyed from home by a woman answering the description of the wretch now in custody. The unfortunate girl is sixteen years of age ; but from her simple and artless manner when under examination, we should sup pose there would be no difficulty in a woman of the prisoner's address imposing upon her cre dulity. It is impossible to speak in too high terms of the conduct of Mr. Preston, who, though a poor man with a large family, has, at is ovm expense, been indefatigable in his en- deavours to restore the daughter of his former friend to her family. We do hope that the benevolent of the neighbourhood from which he comes will not suffer this expense to be drawn exclusively out of his own pocket. We under stand that in the interim between Wolling's visit to the registry-office at Birmingham, and her re turn to Willenhall, she had been in London.— Manchester Advertiser. SUMMER ASSIZE S. HOME CIRCUIT—CHELMSFORD, Auc. 8. Samuel Newcomb and Charles Newcomb were in- dieted for assaulting Mary Harris, with intent to murder her. It appeared that the prosecutrix, who resides at Baddow, was offended by a man named Doomaday, who used some taunting expressions, and she followed him into the house of the defend ant's father, and began to scold Doomaday. She was desired by the family to withdraw, but refusing to do so they pushed her into the road. The in juries she received from this violence required medi cal attendance for several weeks and she has never since been able to walk without crutches. The Jury found the defendants Guilty, and they were sentenced to two months' imprisonment. George Emberion, alias Wright, alias Taylor, alias Clarke, was charged with stealing, on the 3d of December, at Great Burstead, a mare, the pro perty of John Bloss, and John Bolden, John Mor rell, and William Walls were charged with know ingly receiving the same. Walls and Merrell had been out on bail. After hearing evidence at length, the Jury found Emberson Gulty of stealing, and Holden of receiving the mare. Walls arid Morrell were found Not Guilty. The Learned Judge told Emberson his life would be spared, but only upon condition of his being transported for life. Holden he sentenced to trans portation for 11 years. NORFOLK CIRCUIT-BURY ST. EDMUND'S, AUGUST 8. The following trial caused the greatest interest in this county, and the Court, at an early hour, was thronged with persons anxious to hear the details, which had already in some degree appeared in the public journals. The prisoner is a mild but rather sullen-looking young man, and conducted himself with great decorum during the solemn investigation. William Vialls, aged 16, was indicted for having, on the 14th day of July last, feloniously cut and stabbed one George Green with a razor, with intent to murder him. George Green, the prosecutor, was led into court by two men, and appeared with his throat and face enclosed in a black silk handkerchief. His face was very pale and emaciated, but he seemed to be re covering from the severe injury he had received. He was then sworn, and deposed as follows :-1 have been apprenticed to Mr. Bridge, of Clare, for four years and a half. Was so in July last. Pri soner had been a fellow-apprentice for nine months. I am 19. On Friday, the 14th of July, I went, to bed at a quarter before eleven o'clock, with the pri soner. Prisoner and I had been together during the day. After we got up stairs we conversed, and I soon went to sleep. In the middle of the night I was awakened by a feeling of blood flowing from my neck. I opened the window and called to the maid for a light, and said my throat was cut. I asked prisoner to take the light, which he refused to do at first, as he said he was in his shirt. Ile did take it afterwards. The door was buttoned on the inside, and the window was barred. Cruss'aexamined by Mr. GUNNlNG—Prisoner is 16. We had been talking till we went to sleep. We supped together. We had had no quarrel. li e is rather cross at times, but we did not quarrel. Mary French—Was servant to Mr. Bridge in _ _ July. My window is opposite to that of the ap. prentite's rootti. On the•night of the 14th of July Was aWakened by Green calling me. He called " Mary, Mary ! for God's sake,..bring a light. My neck is cut, and I am bleeding." 1 got up, and by the moon I saw the blood streaming from his neck. The iirisener was putting on his clothes, and he was sent for the doctor, and went. . Samuel Bridge—l am a draper at Clare. Prisoner has been my apprentice for nine months; Green for four years and a half. I always conceiVed them to be en good teritis, and observed nothing remark able on either side. 1 thought the prisoner's temper sullen. I was awakened on the night of July 14th by Mary French, and went with her to the pri soner's roam. The door was fastened, and I de manded admittance. The door was opened, and I found Green on the bed with his throat cut, and bleeding. I said to Green, " Good God ! how came this about ?" He said, "I did not do it." I told prisoner to go for the brandy ; he went, but came back and said he could not find it. I sent him a second time, but he refused to go. I then went myself, leaving him with Green. When I came back, I again asked " who had done it." Green repeated that " he did not do it himself;" and prisoner said, " Wa's it not Moore ?" (Moore had lived with me, but was discharged.) I said, "If it's Moore, he's here now," and looked under the bed, but he was not there. I sent the prisoner for the surgeon, and he went immediately. The surgeon came in about 20 minutes and sewed up the wound. French as sisted, and prisoner held the candle. We then stripped Green and put him on clean linen. We searched his bed, but found nothing; nor any thing in the boxes. We then searched the pri soner's bed, and under the pillow found a great quantity of human hair, and a pair of scissors.— A great deal of blood was on the sheets. The counterpane was roiled up and put away, and in it were found a plum-cake and two pieces of board and string, and a razor-sheath. The con stable came, and he and I and the surgeon went into a room below; the prisoner was called in. I asked the prisoner to tell what he knew of the occurrences of the night. He said he knew nothing of them. I asked him what he had in his bed ? He said " nothing but his scissors and a key." I asked him, "did he know anything about the hair ?" He said, " No." We questioned him awhile about it, and he said some one must have put it there. He then took off his night cap and found his own hair cutoff. I asked him how it came to be cut off ? He said he did it himself, lashed him what he did it for ? He said" to keep himself awake." I said " Why did you wish to keep yourself awake ?" H e s a id . . . " because he wished to destroy himself in the course of the night." I asked him, " how Green came to he in the state he was ?" He replied, that "he knew nothing about it ; he only wished to destroy himself." I said, " William, you do know about it." He said, " Ave, but you don't know what I 61 with the razor: 3 I said, " You do ; tell me." He replied, " I threw it into Heward's garden." I then gave him in charge to the constable, and de sired him to go and fetch the razor, which he did. Cross-examined.—Zhe prisoner's hair was all cut close off, I thought it very singular. I thought it strange that he should have denied the hair found in the pillow being his, when it was so easily proved. We had all supped together at nine; and I observed nothing particular. The prisoner and Green agreed very well, and prisoner always did my business pro perly. I found this piece of paper in his pocket next day (produced.) The writing is the prisoner's. [This paper represented, on one side, a man hang ing from a gallows, drawn by the prisoner in pencil; and on the other was written " The execution of William Vialls, this mozniny, at five o'clock.") By the Learned BARON—We drank only table beer for supper ; the prisoner water only. He seemed very much agitated, and sighed much. I have never observed any thing extraordinary in his conduct, — nothing different from the other lads of his age. Robert Pilgrim, constable—(Confirmed Mr. Bridge as to the scene in the room, when the hair, &e. were talked of.) I went with prisoner to Hew ard's garden, and there found this razor (produced). Cross-examined—l took him to gaol. We talked about the affair. Every time, as soon as we had done talking about it, he se e m e d - to have forgotten the circumstance entirely. His mind was wandering.-- He drove the cart part of the way. He is a young man of mild manners. Mr. Martin—l am a surgeon at Clare. About one o'clock on the morning of July 15, I was called up by the prisoner, and he told me I must go to Mr. Bridge's immediately. I thought the prisoner's insensibility very extraordinary. It very often hap pens that a man may commit a desperate act under a sudden paroxysm of madness, whose mind was in a calm and lucid state. This would be peculiarly the case if there were any constitutional insanity in the person; and it would be more likely to be the case if there were madness in the family. The confession of the prisoner before the Magi strate was then read. It stated that about a week ago he found himself very uncomfortable in his mind about some shirts he had sold, and that on last Sun day night he made up his mind to make away with himself. On the night in question he resolved to put this purpose into execution, and about half-past eleven he cut off his own hair to keep himself awake thinking he might be overtaken by sleep before he had quite done it. He then went to kill George Green, but had not resolution then ; but in half an hour he got out of bed, and by the light of the. moon he saw Green lying nearly. on his face, and then he took the razor and cut his neck. He was then going to kill himself, but Green woke and he could not. This was the case for the prosecution. In his defence the prisoner said nothing, but called the following witnesses. Mary Rose, examined by Mr. GUNNING—In September, 1827, the prisoner came with his mas ter to lodge at my master's house in Thread needle-street, London. He stayed, six or seven months. I used to make his bed. On one occa sion, I found one of his day and one of his night shirts cut quite up to pieces and put under his bed. They were good shirts. I have them (produced.) On another occasion, I found three of his pocket handkerchiefs tied together, and hanging from the curtain of his bed. They had a noose at the other end, that would slip. Another time I found a piece of rope tied to the bed-curtain iron, with a slip noose at the other end. He was very low at times, and could not bear to be shut in - a room alone. I made the observation while he lived with us that he could not be in his right mind, and I do not think he was. My mistress used to say and think so too. William Reeve—Knew the prisoner when he was quite a child. Knew him intimately from the age of six till twelve. He was of a kind, mild, and in offensive disposition. He was not of a robust frame, and did not much associate with boys, preferring the society of little girls. He Was effeminate in his manners, and bad a first cousin confined in St. Luke's Hospital for insanity. This closed the evidence. Mr. Baron GARRow then summed up the evi dence at very great length, and with the utmost care and attention, after which the Jury found the pri soner Guilty. Silence being then proclaimed, the Learned BARON proceeded to pass on the unhappy youth the dreadful sentence of death, which he did in a most impressive and affecting address. The extreme youth of the prisoner (not yet 16), his quiet, mild, and fragile appearance, and the ex traordinary and unparalleled circumstances. under, that the horse in question, when sold by the ar.- fendant to the plaintiff, was free from all "7 soundness.

WESTERN CIRCUIT-DORCHESTER, AUG. 7, The Dorsetshire Summer Assizes commenced here today. To all appearance the business will be extremely light, the calendar containing only the names of 16 prisoners, none of whom are charged with crimes of a very serious nature. On the civil side there are but six causes entered for trial. John Co.r was indicted for having assaulted John Topp on the King's highway, at Sturminster New ton, on the evening of the 12th of May, and felo niously stolen from his person a canvas purse, con taining five notes of the Sturminster Bank of the value of .5/. each, one note of the Bank of England of the value of .51., and 10 sovereigns, his property. Guilty. SATURDAY, AUG. 8. The greater part of the day was occupied in the trial of some of the members of a very daring gang of robbers, which has for some time infested this part of the country. The most notorious of these depredators were George Car, William Daw, and John Wareham. William Daw was convicted of having stolen a cheese-tub and an iron bar, the property of William Bird, of Corscombe. The articles in question were missing in March last, and were not found till July, when they were discovered in the prisoner's stable. Mr. Justice BURROUGII, in sentencing the pri soner, observed that he should not allow his mind to be influenced by the other charges brought against him, in conjunction with other persons, who were found guilty. The prisoner having been acquitted of these charges, it was the duty of the Court to deal with him only in reference to the crime of which he was convicted. The punishment for that offence would •be 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. John Wareham, another member of the gang, pleaded "guilty " to an indictment for sheep-steal ing, and judgment of death was recorded against him. Daw was included in the charge, but the G►and Jury threw out the bill. 15aw had also been tried.along with George Cox, on a charge of stealing a winnowing -sheet, but the evidence against him not being conclusive, he was acquitted.—Cox was found Guilty. George Cox was likewise convicted of breaking open and entering a certain fair house, at Toiler down, occupied by William Watts, and stealing therefrom a quantity of glass, china, and other arti cles, the property of the prosecutor. There was another indictment against George Cox, and John Wareham, for stealing a quantity of cider, the property of a farmer named Sneyden, at Corscombe. • felonious assault upon Elizabeth Richardson, a girl about 11 years of age, on the Ist of March last, at Worksop, in this county. Theprosccutrix swore to circumstances from which it would appear that the prisoner completed the offence against her „•ill in the yard of the Wheat• sheaf-inn, at Worksop; and her testimony was cor roborated by other evidence, whilst two other girls of about the ta►ue age swore that she arid they called out the prisoner, and asked him for money, which he gave them. They mentioned other particulars, from which it might be inferred that if the pi ironer had taken any liberties with the prosecutrix's person, it was not against her will. The Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. _ _ _ Shortly after five o'clock, his Lordship had dis posed of all the prisoners in the county gaol. All those who were found guilty were convicted of capital felonies, but none were left for execution. OXFORD CIRCUIT-STAFFORD, AUGUST 7. The commission for this county was opened here yesterday by Mr. Baron VAUGHAN; and this morning business commenced by Mr. Baron VAUGHAN charg ing the Grand Jury, and then taking his seat on the civil side, Mr. Seijeant LUDLOW presiding on the Crown side. BIRCH V. FISHER. Mr. CAMPBELL stated that this was an action to recover. from a wealthy brewer at Westbrotnwich, 25/., the price of a pianoforte which he had autho rized a gentleman of the name of Dawes to pur chase for him. A correspondence had taken place between the parties which would fully establish the contract, but when the pianoforte was sent home, the defendant refused to receive it, saying it was not such a one as he had expected to see, although at that time he had only seen the legs, which were peeping out of the caravan. He (Mr. Campbell) did not know what expectations the defendant formed-4e did not know whether he expected to see a wild beast in the. caravan, but this he did know, that the instrument was well worth the money, as it had been valued by Dr. Baker, of Cheadle, at 30 guineas, who had instructed the young ladies in their performance upon it, but had unfortunately not been able to preserve that degree of harmony which was so desirable to all parties; for the defendant on seeing the instrument had not only broken his contract, but hail also broken the peace by knocking down the man who had been sent to deliver the piano to him, for which an action of assault would be tried at the present assizes. Evidence was given, which bore out the Learned Counsel's statement, after which a verdict was re turned for the plaintiff—Damages,2sl. The defendant was afterwards tried for an assaul on Mr. Rice, and a verdict given against him.— Damages 40s. ff

Water twist • continues livid( ; mule is rather dull, and lover in price than at the close of last yea,. In fine yarns, the extreme depression we have before announced continues to prevail, and several mills are working short time. There have, we believe, been a consi derable number of buyers of finished goods in the market this %week, but their purchases are stated to be on a smaller scale than at the corresponding period of last year. (Prom the Manchester Courier.) LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1829. PRICE 7D. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ' lions; and the mother, who attended the exaMinat:hn, de clared that she was fearful of going hone if her enuttural son were discharged. The prisoner's conduct, while at the bar, evinced his in corrigible habits. He was fully committed on the charge of stealing the watch and apparel belonging to his brother. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Fowler Smith, a young man of respectable appearance, was brought before the LORD Mivoß by Thomas Herdsfield and White, the officers, charged with having carried on a system of plunder upon his employer sue ;.! ~seldom being equalled. d stated, that some days ago, as he and White wee: . g down London-wall, they saw the prisoner cartl7 g a large stone bottle, and something in a sack, and being both of opinion that he was not " all right," questioned hilitAout his load. He said that he was in the employment of'Mr. Pritchard, of Smithfield, and car rying that gentleman's goods to a customer. The officers soon found that this was a falsehood. Mr. Pritchard knew npthing about him. Herdsfield searched him, and discoveed a little book which told the secret. It con tained several addresses, and amongst them that of a young lady to whom the prisoner was to have been married the day after his apprehension. The other addresses were those of shopkeepers who Were supplied by the prisoner from the stock of his master,lint. without being aware that they were, purchasers of stolen goods. The prisoner con trived to let his sweetheart know that he was in trouble and to direct her to conceal some articles which he had sent to a house in Gloucester-street, Whitechapel, which he had lately taken, The witness, however, "got scent" of what going forward, and upon searching the above mentioned premises, found a large quantity of goods of various kinds covered up in the water-butt and the dust hole. The whole of the stolen property which they found would have filled a large cart. The lady to whom the prisoner was to have bees mar • ried appeared in deep mourning, and was much affected. She was unable to give her evidence standing. She had, she said, received a letter from the prisoner, which she had destroyed. It desired her to put away some articles which he had sent to stock the house with, and she did so ac cordingly. Mr. Yates, oilman, of Little Britain, stated that the prisoner was in his employment as warehouseman for nearly two years, and confidence was reposed in him. Nis doubt whatever was entertained of his integrity, and he bad great opportunities for plunder. The blower of an organ, who was formerly a porter in Mr. Yates's house, stated that the prisoner applied to him while he was employed in church to carry goods from Mr. Yates's warehouse to several tradesmen. The hours at which witness used to work for the prisoner were before or after business hours; but witness declared that be thought that " all was right," notwithstanding. It appeared that the prisoner was attentive to his busi ness, that he was not at all dissipated, and that he was not known to keep low or dangerous company. His master said he had every season to suppose that the plunder had been going on upwards of eighteen months. In fact, the prisoner acknowledged that he had been committing depre dations on the premises. He had laid up such a stock as would have enabled him to begin the world with great prospect of success, and had supplied himself with ready money by selling at a lower rate than wholesale price. Mr. Yates identified a great deal of the property, and asked whether the sentence, in the event of conviction, would not be transportation for life. The LORD Mivoß said, that if property to the value of M. was sworn to as having been stolen by the prisoner, the sentence of death would be passed upon him, and no doubt carried into execution. We are sorry to state that the business of the last week has not enabled us to announce any improve ment in the circumstances of !he cotton trade. There has been a considerable number of drapers from all parts of the kingdom; but their purchases have in every instance been so limited, as to show that the depression which now weighs upon the cotton trade is felt throughout every department: of national industry. From all quarters we hear the same complaints of the scarcity of money. Our ex port trade is quite as bad as our home trade. The last accounts from South America are too discou raging, we understand, to induce merchants= to ex tend their speculations in that quarter. Almon! all other markets are equally glutted with English ma , nufaetures. The demand for yarn for exportation is better than that for any other article; but the supply at present so greatly exceeds the sales, that most of the spinners in this neighbourhood are working only four or five days in the week. This circumstance necessarily falls severely upon the labouring classes; but it is certainly the most prudent course foi their employers to pursue under present circumrtances,.. Great distress prevails also among the hand-loom weavers in this district, particularly among the calico and fustian weavers; their wages being fully as low as they were three years ago, while provisions are at the same time considerably higher than they were at that period of distress. There arc not, however, so many people out of employment as there were in 1826. FINAL EXAMINATION of JOHN BUTLER. This man was brought before Mr. RAWLINSON at Mary lebone, on Saturday, to hear the evidence which had not before been given in his presence. He came up to the bar with an air of indifference, ill•suited to his situation, and having placed his cap upon the ground, he drew from hi. pocket a sheet of writing paper folded, and a pencil, and took occasional notes of the examination. " Now," said Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing him, "since I remanded you, a Coroner's Inquest has been held upon the body of Mr. Neale, and they have returned a verdict of wilful murder against you. It is toy duty to-day to hear the additional evidence which was given before them, and see whether I ought to commit you under the same charge ; but it is not my intention to call again those wit nesses who were here on Wednesday unless you wish it." Prisoner—Are they all here? Mr. RAwuNsoN— They are. Mr. King, of the White Horse, Oxford-street, re-stated the facts which came under his observation, and Mr. Raw linson regretted that, when he found the deceased incapable of taking care of himself, he did not put him into a coach. Mr. W. Kirton, surgeon, Iligh-street, was sent for be tween seven and eight on Wednesday morning, and found the bodf of Mr. Neale lying in the middle of the parlour upon the ground, partially covered with a counterpane and a blanket. He took hold of the left hand, and found the body cold. Miss Neale fetched him. She told him her cousin came home greatly intoxicated, and he expected to find him dead of apoplexy. But when lie heard that a soldier came with him, and had robbed him of his clothes, he examined the body minutely, and found there was not that moisture in the mouth of the deceased which generally is the case in persons dying sudOenly of apoplexy, and he found a remarkable impression upon the nose, as'of two fingers and a thumb, which he had no doubt was made by exceedingly great pressure while Mr. Neale was alive. The prisoner appearing not to hear the witness dis tinctly, said, " Speak up, Sir, if you please." Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mr. Kirton whether he found the shirt .collar of the deceased buttoned or unbuttoned ? He replied, " Buttoned, but it was loose." And after mentioning some other circumstances which came under his observation, with respect to the tautly, the prisoner asked the following questions:— If the mark you speak of on the gentleman's nose bad been made when he was alive, would it be there after he was dead ?—Yes. (From the Manchester Gazette.) There has been no change in the general character of the market this week ; but the depression which we have had to notice as existing for s long time past is now assuming a more decided appearance. The manufacturers in every quarter are now active in making arrangements, by which they hope to tor prove their certainly bad condition, and we regret W learn that the means which they seem disposed to adopt for the purpose are a reduction of wages.-- Last week we announced that the fine spinners of this town and neighbourhood had determined to give notice of a reduction, in order to equalize the rates paid here to those which are paid for the same de scription of work elsewhere. This determination has been acted upon, and the notice will expire next Sa turday. At present the general expectation seems to be, that all hands will turn out rather than sub mit; this, from all that we can learn, an alter native which the masters are desirous their work people should choose. But, however beneficial it might be to them to have their mills standing for a time, it would be a very serious calamity to the public, and we therefore most seriously hope that matters • may be accommodated with out having recourse to it; or that business may take such a turn as may a,ert the desirableness of such a check to it. While this is the state of affairs here, in the country, about Hyde, Ashton, and Staley-bridge, the spinners and power-loom ma nufacturers have had a meeting, and we understand it was proposed that they should offer their work people 10 per cent. less than the present wages, and a further reduction of 5 per cent., if, at the expiration of:the first notice, the differences between the Stockport masters and men were not settled. These disputes are producing embarrassment and difficulty in every department of trade, and they prove beyond tell question that the state of trade is, in the strongest sense of the term, bad. In prices both of yarn and goods there is no change this week. The attendance of country buyers has been tolerably numerous; but the purchases made by them are so strictly limited to their actual wants, that the operations for their supply have no effect. The printers complain more decidedly this week than they have previously, and the difficulty of pay ments is generally stated to be increasing. Oh ! it would. You say you saw the body cold, when did you see it first ?—A little before eight. How long do you think it had been dead ?—Three or four hours. Could it get cold in no less time ?—I think not. Do you think it was full four hours ?—I cannot say : a body covered will retain its warmth longer than an unco vered body. You speak of pressure upon the stomach : was it from convulsion produced by drink ?—Not by convulsion with out violence. Do you consider any of the passages of the body were obstructed by drink ?—No. Respecting the shoulder, there was some sort of bruise; a discolouration from a fill?—No. Air. Yates appeared to he ht•rror-struck at this intelli gence. He considered, he said, that the offence of the prisoner well merited transportation for life. It would be dreadful to allow such a deliberate plunderer to return back upon society ; but the idea of hanging a man for the crime was too shocking to be for a moment entertained. Was it a sort of disorder that would seize a drunken per. son ?—Not without he received violent treatment. Mr. Hobler said that the punishment for stealing goods under the value of 51. was transportation for 14 years. Mr. Yates might prosecute, if be pleased, for the lesser sum. The LORD MAYOR.--The case of this prisoner is the worst I have ever known. If convicted of a capital offence under such circumstances, nothing on earth, if we may judge from the examples generally made, can save his life. Mr. Yates said that he would not shed the prisoner's blood. He would most gladly remove for ever from this country a man for whose conduct there was no excuse or palliation ; but the alternative of death he could not for an instant think of. The prisoner was then fully committed for stealing goods to an amount, the stealing of one shilling beyond which would, without the shadow of a doubt, consign him to the gallows. er - . ~, • : as - • AnAHRALTY-OFFICE, M Aacn 5, 1829. ! / "t - aativa:s ? ‘"wti, i NOTICE is hereby given, That a Session of i . . . .A.e c, ,ff I • , 4 . 4 '°l - .

In the course of Saturday a very gross fraud in the article of coal was discovered by a tradesman in the neighbourhood of Norwood. About one o'clock on the .. day in question, th ree men were o b served pulling along a' cart laden with coals ; they stopped at the doors of seve ral tradesmen in the place, apparently labouring under considerable fatigue from their work, and having made known that they were venders of the article in the cart, trumped up a story of their horse dropping down dead on the road, in consequence of drinking too much water; that owing to this mishap, they were compelled to do the drudgery of the animal themselves, and that, in order to get rid of their burden, they would let any customer have coals " dirt cheap." The fellows succeeded in their ob ject at length, for, on going to the house of a Mr. SMITH, and having impressed him with the belief of the story of the dead horse, he agreed to purchase twenty three bushels of coals of them. The three men then went to work, and having, as was supposed, measured the above quan tity, the heap appeared to be small, and on re-measuring them afterwards, a deficiency of the enormous quantity of thirteen bushels was discovered. This glaring fraud being made known to some of the neighbours, the three hawkers were stopped, and on overhauling their bushel measure, it was found to he constructed on such a plan as not to contain half the above quantity, although, to the casual observer, it was almost impossible to detect the imposition. Mr. S3lrrn haring paid the money for twenty-three bushels, and the men having refused to re fund it on the discovery of the deficiency, they were taken into custody, and examined at 'and were ulti mately remanded for a week.

Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. SEatoN, the Hoop and Grapes, Cross.strcet, Hatton. garden, which raged for some time with great fury. It originated in the lower part of the house, and is supposed to have been caused by the bursting of the gas-pipe. By the timely arrival of the engines, and the exertions of the firemen, however, the fire was prevented from spreading to the adjoining pre mises, but Mr. SEMON'S house was completely gutted from top to bottom. The inmates narrowly escaped with their lives, Mr. Sxmois- without his clothes, being obliged to borrow A pair of trousers from a friend. He was hut slightly insured, and has lately laid out a considerable sum in repairs. GUILDHALL. TRICK or HORSE-DEALERS.—WiIIiam Brown, one of the Smithfield horse-dealers, was brought before Sir C. S. IirNTER, on Saturday, charged with defrauding Wm. Denyard, a potatoe-dealer, in Speldhurst•street, Burton crescent, of six pounds. The complainant went to Smithfield horse-fair on Fri day se'nnight, and bargained with the prisoner for a good looking horse, for which he consented to take nine pounds. Complainant deposited 305., and on the following evening met the prisoner at the Ram Inn, Smithfield, and gave him 41. 10s. more. The prisoner then told him he was a poor man, and he should be sorry to take him in, and he would therefore confess that the horse in question was a bull (a roarer)—Complainant would find he could not have fallen into the hands of a more honest horse-dealer in that market. He would keep this bull, and let the complainant have the choice of two good ones the following market day. Complainant congratulated himself on his escape, and having taken Brown's address, went home quite satis fied. But some misgivings arose in his mind, and he set off to the place where the prisoner said he resided, and finding he was not known there, he gave Lim into custody the first time he met with him again. Branscomb, the officer, said this was a trick daily prac tised in Smithfield. A dealer having a screw (unsound horse), employs an agent to sell, and having found a cus tomer, the agent prefers taking a part to the whole price, professing that the buyer shall have the animal on trial for a week. Then the owner appears and locks the horse up in a stable, pretending to be dissatisfied with the conduct of his agent, and demanding the immediate payment of the whole sum, or some sureties for the return of the horse, or payment at the expiration of the week. The buyer• may be a very honest man, but he is a stranger, and cannot ex pect credit. While the buyer, who commonly prefers a week's trial, is fetching his friends, the horse is removed, and the customer is told upon his return, that the animal is unsound, and he shall have an infinitely better one next day. Having obtained the buyer's consent to waive the purchase, the trick is complete—he is put off with excuses from time to time—gets neither a horse nor his money— and can obtain no redress but by an action at law, against a man of no property. The prisoner, in his defence, said Denyard had agreed to take 41. and a few shillings, and he was willing to pay him, but he could not obtain the money if he were not set at large. He was not aware the horse was unsound till after the bargain was made. Denyard admitting he had agreed to take 41. in full of all demands, Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER told the prisoner he would re mand him till Tuesday, to consider whether he could be in dicted for fraud ; but if he paid the V. in the interim he should be discharged. UNION-HALL. Saturday a young man named Oakey, the son of a pianoforte-maker in Newington, was charged with having robbed his father tinder aggravated circumstances. From the father's evidence, it appeared that his incor rigible son had evinced, from an early period, a most de praved character, being in the habit of committing thefts whenever an opportunity offered. A short time ago he committed a robbery, and was tried at the Old Bailey, but was acquitted, owing to the influence used in his favour by the friends of the family. On his acquittal he was taken home, and the very first night he slept at his Ether's dwelling, an elderly lady who lodged there was awakened by a noise as if persons were breaking into her apartment. She instantly gave an alarm, and Mr. Oakey, having armed himself with a loaded pistol, imagining thieves had broken into the premises, hastened down stairs, and dis covered his own son concealed in the coal-hole ; he was armed with a knife, but on perceiving his parent made no attempt at resistance. The prisoner, it appeared, had pre viously entered his brother's bed-room, and having'pos sessed himself of a new suit of clothes, together with a watch, then proceeded down to the old lady's room, where in his ettempts to break into it he was overheard, and afterwards found concealed in the manner above described. It was also given in evidence, that the prisoner had threatened the life of Loth his parents on several occa• If a man fall with a violent fall, might it not injure his inside, think you ?—We did not find any injury of that kind when the body was opened. Well, Sir, respecting this violent blow on the nose, might that not proceed from a fall ?—I stated my opinion before, that it had been grasped by two fingers and a thumb. You say you found two under waistcoats upon the body, were they tight?—No, loose like night-shirts. Well, Sir, I have no more questions to ask you at present. Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mr. Kirton what was the im pression on his mind respecting Mr. Neale's death, and he said he believed it was occasioned by violence. The prisoner begged permission to ask if a gentleman named Laycock was present. No one answered to the name, and Mr. Rawliuson sail if he would give his ad dress, some one should immediately fetch him. He de scribed Mr. Laycoek to be a Madeira wine -merchant, at No. 2, Northumberland-eourt, Charing-cross, and a rela tion, and said he had requested him by letter to attend the examination. The office Directories were searched, but no such person's name was in them. The prisoner con. chided he had changed his residence, and his letter had not reached him, and exclaimed, " I am now lost !" Mr. RAWLINSON said—The Coroner's inquest has re turned a verdict of wilful murder against you, and you must be committed to Newgate for trial; your friend may be of service to you there, but can do you no good now. You are in a very awful situation, but you shall have every assistance afforded you. 'I he prisoner said he was aware of his peril, and thanked the Magimtrate. Dr. Dennis repeated the evidence he gave before the Coroner. Mr. Joshua Brookes, of Blenheim -street, surgeon, pre ceded his statement by saying, he had been reprimanded by one of the newspapers for making use of technical terms at the inquest. He would now divest his statement as much as possible of them, yet English names could not be found for some parts of the human frame. He pointed out the diseases to which, upon dissecting the body, he found the deceased was predisposed, but in his opinion the maladies were neither of them sufficiently extensive to cause instant death. He particularly noticed the state of the nose, and judging by all appearances, gave it as his opinion that the deceased was stifled. The prisoner, addressing Mr. Brookes—You say, Sir, you found two marbles in the head of the deceased, how long do you think they had been there? Mr. Brookes-1 said I found tumours there about the size of small marbles. They are produced by disease, and vary in size. I have found them as small as a pea, and as large as this ink-stand, according to the stage of the disease. Prisoner—Were they in their right places ? Mr. Brookes—They have no right places ; they are, as I said before, produced by disease. Prisoner—Would drink act upon them to produce death ? Mr. 13roekez—No, Ido not suppose it would. Prisoner—You observed blood o❑ the brain, might not that have been in conseqtrence of a rumpled sheet, which was found under the back of the deceased. It raised his back up, and the blood would of course run into his bead ? Mr. Brookes—No ; certainly rot. Prisoner—Do not you think it was produced by exces sive drinking ?—Mr. Brookes—That would cause a de termination of blood to the head, but not in so great a quantity. Prisoner—Do you think violent falls would not have injured the nose in the way you describe ?—Mr. Brookes— There was not the least appearance of contusion—nothing like black and blue marks, as they are called ; but the left nostril appeared pressed in with a thumb, it was a horrible spectacle, such as I never witnessed before ; and (turning to the Magistrate) the firmness of the mouth was extraor dinary ; friends generally watch for the last moment of a dying person, and tie up the under jaw, to prevent its fall ing and producing a ghastly appearance, but here the mouth was firmly closed. Prisoner—The deceased was in liquor before, and drank a great deal after he got home : if I was to drink to such an excess, and my blood got up into my brain in conse quence would it not make my body in a curious state? This question was not immediately answered, and he put another. You speak of the organ, was that in its proper place ? Mr. Brookes explained to him, that any and every distinct part of the body, complete in itself, is called an organ ; and the prisoner said be hail no more questions. Ile asked if the two young women were there, and Ann Norris (the cook) was called in. Prisoner—You said you heard your master snore, as late as half-past five ?---No, I did not hear him snore at all; I said my fellow-servant heard a noise at half-past three, and Miss Neale thought it was my master snoring. The prisoner said he wished to ask no more questions, and he was commit'ed to Newgate for the alleged murder, and ordered to be detained for the robbery. It is said that the recent failure in the stage coach trade have been rrincipally owing to the ruinously low'rates at which the spirit of competition has induced m any of the parties engaged itt it to under-drive each other. (From the Manchester Times.) We stated last week that a number of the princi pal spinners in this town had determined to shorten the hours of labour, in order that their workpeople should not make more than four or five days' labour in the week, and we expressed our gratification that they had so resolved, rather than to reduce prices, because a lessening of the quantity produced would tend to relieve the market of the overstock of yarn. We are sorry that we have now to state, that the owners of factories in which fine yarns are spun have - resolved upon making a very material reduction in the prices which are now paid. The reduction is to commence at No. 80, the spinning of which, according to the scale proposed, is to be paid at about five per cent. less per pound than is now paid for it, and the scale of reduction goes on increasing, till at No. 250, it is upwards of twenty-five per cent. below the present rate. We understand that the reason alleged for this proposed reduction, instead of a shortening of the hours of labour, is, that by the latter a premium would in fact be given to the country spinners, who would use their exertion to fill up the vacuum in the yarn market which might be thus created. The masters also say that this measure has been forced upon them by the spinners in the neighbourhood paying consider ably lower prices than are paid here. The men on the other hand say, that it is known that the Ash ton spinners have resolved to lower prices twenty five per cent. whenever any reduction takes place here ; so that reduction after reduction in this man ner might go on till the whole of the spinners were reduced to a state of misery as deep and hopeless as that in which the weavers are sunk. The convic tion that such would be the result of agreeing to a reduction, has, we understand, determined the men who are employed on fine numbers to turn our. This is, it must be confessed, an exceedingly unfortu nate state of things at the very best season of the year for business. We trust that any communications there may be between masters and men will be con ducted with temper and moderation, so as to lea - le the door open for friendly arrangement; and as both classes are suffering by the depression of the times, it is not too much to hope that each will have that feeling for the situation of the other which will lead them to avoid every thing that may be an obstacle to speedy agreement. A man named FITZGERALD was killed on Tuesday, at Ardpatrick fair, by a party of fellows, who literally smashed his skull to atoms.—Limerick Chronicle. LOST GREENLAND.—CAPTAIN MA NOY, whose mind is ever actively employed, has printed and given private circulation to a series of papers connected with a plan he contemplates for the recovery of these lost regions, and which he considers so be " eminently impor. tint to humanity, highly interesting to history," and likely to "afford an extensive source of information to se veral branches of science; it would also, besides renewing an intercourse with a forlorn people, probable tend to open a beneficial traffic with this remote and almost unknown part of the Polar world." This colony was peopled (if at all—which is matter of doubt) about SOO years ago ; it continued to hold some commerce with Iceland and Norway till 1406, when " no intercourse was ever after accompli.4ll - " Capt.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated March 28.) PARIS, MARCH 27.—1 t is affirmed that the Treaty concluded between France, Russia, and England, is definitively signed, and that the most perfect harmony exists on the subject between the three Courts. It is said that this Treaty will speedily be made public, and that it has been sent to Constantinople, to be notified to the Turkish Government. A Courier from Nice has brought word that the health of M. de Ferronayes is sensibly better, but not sufficiently so to allow him to resume the duties of his office. It is added that he 1611 set out, at the end of the month, on a visit to the principal cities of Italy, particularly Venice, Rome, and Naples, where, perhaps, he is destined to MI the pOsi of Ambassador. It is affirmed that the arrival of this news has furnished the Ministry with a pretext to return again to the necessity of at length ap pointing a successor to M. de Ferronayes. It seems certaix that this necessity was discussed in the Coun cil yesterday. ' (From the Message?* dcs Chambres of Friday.) PARIS, MARCH 26.—The official .part of the Illoniteur of this day contains a Report, presented by the Minister of Public I►►struction to the King upon that subject, and the necessity of organizing it in a complete and advantageous manner. His Excellency states to his Majesty that the legislation, relative to public instruction, is composed of a multi tude of acts, among which it is often difficult to dis cover the regulations actually in force from those which are abrogated. The legislation respecting the University is evidently incomplete in divers po►nts; it is essential to modify the regulations, to add new ones, to extend the teaching of law, to perfect that of medicine, to restore to the Grand Masters the nomination of Professors, and lastly, to ameliorate the condition of those functionaries. This Report is followed by a Royal Ordinance, divided into six heads, the object of which is to carry into effect the suggestions contained in the Report of the Minister.

BERLIN, MARCH 22.—General Count Diebitsch, commander-in-chief of the army, gives a report of several successful reconnoissances from Pravadi. Major-General Kuprianoff, who left Pravadi on the 7th of February with three battalions, one cannon, end 100 Cossacks, took possession of the village of Assalbeli, drove the Turks out of it, and took 200 oxen. On his return to Pravadi he intercepted a division of the enemy, who followed him, and put them to flight. The loss of the Turks was consi derable : we had three killed and two wounded. On the 19th the same General proceeded to the village of Markoftcha, where the Turks, unable to withstand his impetuous attack, were dispersed, leaving behind their artillfry and horses. Though the darkness of the night favoured their flight, they had twenty men killed, and the commander of the division was taken prisoner. We did not lose a' man. In Markofteha we found a considerable quan tity of biscuit and barley. According to a report of General Daucray, the Turks, 3,000 strong (both cavalry and infantry), made a sally from Giurdzevo, but falling in with several regiments of Cossacks, retreated partly to Giurdzevo, partly on the ice to Rudsclink. On the 19th they made another sally with a greater force, but with no more success, being obliged, after a short action, to retreat into the fortress without having caused us the slightest loss. General Count Langeron reports that he had found at Tournoul 7 cannon besides the 44 first mentioned. The inhabitants and the garrison - of Nicopoli, terrified at the quick reduction of the fortresses of Kale and Tournoul, which was accomplished under their eyes, and fearing to see our soldiers under their walls, are flying into the interior of Bulgaria, in spite of the vigilanee and the punishments by which . Tchapan Ogiou endeavours to keep them in the fortress. ODESSA, MARCH 7.-From the 4th to the 6th of March. two ships have arrived here from Varna, and 99, laden with as munition, have sailed for the se veral conquered fortresses.—Prussian Slate Gazette,' March 23. EGINA, FEB. 10.—The inhabitants of Livadia havelately sent an address to the President of Greece, to express their gratitude for the deliverance of their country. Several laws on the organization of the troops have been published ; the French legislation is fol lowed in every thing relative to the army. The organization of the courts of justice will also re .,,:emble those of France. Business is improving here ; new buildings are rising on all sides. The population of the town consists of three classes—the Eginatans, Ipsariots, and Athenians. The greatest activity prevails in our port and in the dock-yards, where new ships are constantly building. The numerous marine of the islands, formerly engaged in piracy, is now employed in commerce ; but bath the islands and the continent of Greece suffer greatly by the interruption of the corn merce with Odessa, which prevents them from obtaining corn from that port. VIENNA, MARCH 18.—The Austrian Observer publishes further particulars of the expedition of Count Dandolo, to claim from the Greek Govern ment the restitution of the captured Austrian ships, with the result of which we have been long ac quainted. BRUSSELS, Mailer' 27.—We are happy to see that several of the opposition Journals do justice to the spirit in which the new project of law respect ing the press is drawn up. The Helena Christina, Captain Martins, has arrived from Batavia, and we suppose has brought accounts later than 20th November, but none have yet reached us.—Brussels Papers, March '2B. SYRA, FEB. 2.—We hear that the Sultan will not accede to the proposals of M. Jaubert. It is evident that the plan, pursued by the Allied Powers, of making proposals to Mahmoud will never succeed. They must act without him, and he will then agree to what they have done. If they would declare to-day that they positively and irrevocably recognize the independence of Greece, and that the Mores, the Cyclades, Attica, Livadia, and .Negro pout, are acknowledged as a. separate state, and that any attempt of the Porte against it will be considered as a declaration of war, the Porte must yield to necessity. The Sultan may contradict the Divan by refusing to accede to the terms proposed, but will never venture against .the will of the Divan to declare war against France and England. VIENNA, MARCIt 17.—Metalliques, 97i ; Bank Shares, I,o93l.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, March 22, The first instance that occurs of election bribery was so early as the 13th of ELIZABETH, when one THOMAS LONGF, being a simple man, and of small cipa city to serve in Parliament, acknowledged he had given the returning officer and ethers, of the borough of Westbury, 11. to be returned member, and Vas for that premium elected ; but for this offence the borough was amerced, the member was removed, and the officer fined and imprisoned. —Blackstone. A gentleman of the name of WADE, who resided in Bond -street, Waterloo-bridge, died about a week since of pulmonary consumption ; by his will, made with a full knowledge of his approaching dissolution, but while his faculties were entirely unimpaired, he directed his body to be given for dissection, for the benefit (as he expressed himself) of his surviving fellow-creatures, and to give an example to others.. The person who thus set a common prejudice at defiance belonged to the commercial class, and was little likely to have been influenced by an abstract love of science. We notice this fact at.a moment that a Bill has been brought into Parliament on the sub-. ject, as a proof both that the antipathies on this point are fast losing ground, and that the topic is one which excites the attention of persons wh o , b y t h e nature o f t h e i r avo cations, might he supposed heedless or ignorant in such roatters...—Sunday Paper. The bankruptcy of one of the principal firms of Coach Proprietors, Messrs. Eames, of the Angel Inn, St. Clement's, has excited a great sensation amongst persons connected with the coach btisiness, both in London and the country. Their failure is attributed to the unusual opposition that has taken place on almost all the roads out of London during the season. On the Western road the fares have been as low as 20s. in, and 10s. out to Exeter; to Southampton 10s: in, and ss. out ; to Liverpool, 20s. in, and 10s. out ; to Manchester, York, &c., the s►me opposition has produced a similar reduc tion in the fares, and so great has been the competi tion, that to make a display of a " good load," pas sengers have been conveyed long distances for no thing. The failure of a Coach Proprietor is, in most cases, attended with the most ruinous conse quences, involving the credit of many persons, who have a " piece of road," as it is termed, or, in other words, persons who horse the coach and drive it some 16, 20, or 30 miles. The two principal pro prietors, one in London and the other in the country, receive the whole amount of fares, carriage of par cels, &c., and they settle - with their co-partners once a month—a failure, therefore, at the time the whole proceeds of the coach for a month are in the hands of oue proprietor, must be attended with the most serious consequences. Another circumstance connected with the failures is the distress it brings upon a number of industrious men who are em ployed as coachmen and guards. EXTRACT FROM lANNING'S HISTORY OF SURREY...—. At Mersham, in the county of Surrey, was formerly a capital mansion, the residence of the SOUTH. ccrrEs. The family were Roman Catholics, and are said to have quitted in disgust, on being refused burial for one of the family in the chancel, by the then Rector (Salt. Rousts.) The loss of this family was long felt in the pa rish, and a grateful remembrance of their extensive chari ties has I , een handed dowa to the present day. During their residence, no calamity or casualty happened to an in dividual,: no unproductive season occasioned a scarcity, but rea ly assistance was given. The last Lady SOUTHCOTE is said to have been constantly stationed, at certain well known times, on her garden terrace, overlooking the road, prepared to head every petition, and to answer every claim upon her benevolence. Such (adds the present worthy Rector, in giving this account) was the family to whom burinl in the church was refused, because they were Roman Catholics !" Such are the effects of the attempts to excite agitation in remote parts of the country, that it is not an uncommon circumstance for individuals resident in Lon don to receive letters from their friends at a distance, in quiring after their personal safety, in consequence of the alarming state of the public mind in the metropolis!!! MALT DUTY.—It is in contemplation to call a county meeting in Norfolk, to consider the propriety of petitioning for a reduction in the Malt Duty ; and it is said that one, if not both, of the :county Members, will attend to give their sanction to a petition on the subject.— This question is of the greatest importance to Norfolk, and all other barley districts. AN ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.-Lately an Irish recruit arrived at the depot. A common soldier seeing the raw fellow, exclaimed—" Well, Paddy, how do the 'tatoes taste in Ireland?"—" Ah, jewel, (said the recruit), 4; I can't give you a taste of the 'tatoe, here's a taste of the stalk," and with his thorn stick knocked down the soldier, to the great amusement of the bystanders. Western Timis. THE BLACK FLY IN TURNIPS.—A farmer who farmed extensively, bad his turnips subject for many years to the attack of the black fly, in common with most of his neighbours. He was advised by some one who had tried with success what he recommended, to rub the turnip seed among flour of sulphur, and to let it lie amongst it for some short time, and then sow both seed and sulphur together. By perseverence in this practice for fifteen Years, he evaded the attacks of the fly all that time; which was as long as he continued to farm.—Afinzuul of Science and Literature. Two men have been travelling through the county of Wilts, during the last week, with a covered cart laden with printed tracts and hand-bills against the measures of Ministers on 'the Catholic question. The men state that they have already given away upwards of a million of tracts.— Cambrian. VORACITY OF THE COD.—OII Thursday afternoon, when a fisherwoman in the market was cutting up a huge cod, to her great surprise she found a marot, or wild duck, in the stomach. It was cleaned, carefully examined, and no doubt remained that it had been gobbled only a very short time before its destroyer swallowed the hook which brought both to market.— Scotsman. The Fair at Cow•bridge, on Tuesday last, was the dullest we have witnessed for some time : there were scarcely any dealers. Stock suffered a fall in price, and various reasons were assigned as the cause; some were of opinion that the taking the one-pound notes out of cir culation was the cause, others that there was at present a very great scarcity of money, and that that was the prin ciple cause. Which of those opinions may be correct, we know not.— Cumbrian. PERILOUS TIMES.—A woman from the other side of the Spey having been on an errand to a neighbour ing clergyman's manse, last week, was asked what news she had from the place she had just left. " Och ! on ;" replied the woman, " bad news i ndeed. The KING has turned Papist; and's gaun to cut aff, wi' his ain hand, the heads of every body that winna turn Papist too. A priest," con tinued the poor woman with the utmost seriousness and apparent concern, " A priest in our place has been for some time past seeking money to build a chapel ; but he's geen't a' up now, because in a month or twa he's to get the parish kirk."—Elgin Courier. REMARKABLE FACT.-14011 a field on the farm of Newhouse, in the parish of Lesmahagow, which has been ploughed for time immemorial, as the ploughman was lately turning over the soil, with the horses at their usual pace, one of them fairly sunk down, and became embedded among the channelley subsoil. It proved a labour of no small difficulty to disinter the animal. After he was released from his imprisonment, five men descended, and entered a cavity completely over canopied by the sur face ; and, from their report, there was room for five more. There was no appearance below which indicated that the spot had once been a sepulchre, as neither bones, nor urns, nor huge stones, nor ancient reliques of any kind were found,—nor did it appear that it had been a vault over-arched. It will be gratifying if any correspondent can throw light upon such a cavity.—Scotsman. A FACT.—So much alarm has the unceas ing repetition of the term, Catholic Bill, created, that the mania has taken possession even of children ; and it is much to be feared it has become a bugbear to thousands of mature age, who have given themselves as little trouble as children to make themselves acquainted with the real na ture and form of the terrific animal. Not many miles from Lanark, as a few little happy urchins were going home from a country school a few days ago, indulging in their wonted gambols, in all the mirth and plenitude of youthful glee, their sport was suddenly and unexpectedly interrupted by the approach of a bull, whose aspect at the time was rather alarming. Immediately their fun was converted into real flight. One little girl, more nimble than the rest of her companions, ran uttering the most piercing cries, until, scarcely able to breathe , she came up with a man who stopped her and inquired into the cause of her terror. As soon as language could find vent— pointing backward to the unsuspecting cause of her fears, she sobbed out piecemeal, " Oh, can you tell me if that's the Catholic Bill ?" Glasgow Free Press. THE EYES.—It is a remarkable fact, and no less so as having remained so long unnoticed,: that in Britain the dark-coloured eye is always found to prevail in the neighbourhood of coal mines, and where coal is used as the general fuel ; while, on the other, band, the light or blue eye belongs to those districts in which that mineral is not used; and notwithstanding the numbers of persons continually pouring into the coal districts from other parts of the country, in consequence of the demand for labour, yet the prevalency in the former of the dark eye espe cially among the children, is so evident, that whoever will take the trouble to make the abservation, will most assuredly acknowledge the accuracy of this statement. In what way the sulphurated hydrogen, Bac., occasioned by the coal fire affects the pigment of the iris, it is not now my intention to inquire. I consider it sufficient for my present purpose to establish the connexion between the use of coal and the dark colour of the eye ; though, from repeated observa tions, I feel assured that there are more curious facts con nected with the subject than have yet come under the notice of physiologists ; and which, when properly deve loped, will considerably alter the bearing of many opinions hitherto entertained.—Price's British Physiognomy. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30,11:1829. The Catholic Relief Bill will be read a third time this evening, and forwarded to the Lords, before whom it is expected to be read a second time on Thursday or Friday, with a large majority. The Tories are now so " resigned to their situation," that it is said they intend to offer no opposition—the Earl of ELDON excepted—who is resolved to die—game. We call the attention of his Majesty's Govern ment, and especially that of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to an article from the Morning Chro nicle of this day, recommending a more enlarged cir culation of Newspapers as the only and hest means of conveying instruction to the people upon all matters touching their interests, and putting them upon their guard against the designs of the insidious. We have all along maintained, that if the duty upon Newspapers were reduced one-half, their circulation would be more than quadrupled. They would thus doubly benefit the revenue, and strengthen the hands of Government, by con veying correct intelligence at a cheap and ex peditious rate to all parts of the kingdom. It is notorious that the duty of 3s. 6d. upon every Advertisement deters thousands who would other wise advertise daily, or weekly, from advertising at all. In fact, there is no commodity or species of property under the Sun so exorbitantly taxed as a Newspapaper Advertisement. Let the Advertise ment be one line or twenty, it is taxed 3s. 6d. duty ! We feel persuaded that if the Duke of WELLINGTON would but look to this business, much public benefit would be the consequence. The Stamp acts, we know, are in course of revision, and it would be well if their whole spirit were so framed as to benefit the public generally while they increased the Revenue. The thing is perfectly practicable, and ought there fore to be enforced. The Hamburgh Reporter and other liamburgh Papers of the 24th March have been received, from which we make the following extracts. The wea- tber seems .to be daily getting more mild in the North of Germany : srocicnoLm, MARCH 13. Last Wednesday her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Albertina, who has been frequently much indis posed during this winter, had so serious an attack, that a solemn audience, which a deputation of the Diet and the Chief Officers of State was to have had of the Crown Princess, to congratulate her upon her recovery, was obli ged to be put off. Yesterday morning, however, her Royal Highness was better, and though a speedy recovery cannot he expected, yet there is every reason to hope this morning that she is out of danger. IiAMBURGII, MARCH 20. After an interruption of the navigation from 9th Jan. the first ships hare arrived to-day, as well those that have re-entered at Cuxhaven as some oyster-ship.

The appointment of Redschid Pacha to the poet of Grand Vizier gives new life to every branch of the Admi nistration. The Turks never had a proper plan for a cam paign, and the issue was usually determined by unforeseen contingencies, every Commander following his course, without attending to any thing but the corps under his own special command. This was evidently the CU! in last year's campaign, when the Turks were unable to take ad vantage of such events as seemed favourable to them. Redschid Pacha, who has acquired a more enlarged knowledge of tactics in his campaigns against the Greeks, will remedy this evil, and -make all the operations tend to one general object. Orders to this effect have been sent to all the Pachas and the Go vernors of fortresses. In the latter there are to be com missioners, forming a kind of council, to control the con duct of the Governors. This last measure is founded on the diminished confidence of the Sultan in the cow. wanders of the fortresses, since some of them, after having capitulated ; have voluntarily remained prisoners with the Russians. The number of troops said to be ordered to the army on the Danube is immense, but the statements are evidently extremely exaggerated. VIENNA, MARCH 18.--Metall►ques 97 3-16.—Bank Shares 1,094. We take the following from a Morning Paper, whose columns have lately exhibited the most for lorn specimens of " Revolution--Anarchy — Church and State is danger—Constitution broken doin— &c." and nobody to avert the one or save the other, unless the fair Ladies of lirmel Hempstead step forward. One thing is quite clear, that the alarmists are now put to their last shifts i— " A Meeting of Ladies of the vill of Hemel Hempstead, Herts, takes place in the Town Hall, this day, at twelve o'clock, for the purPose of considering of an Addreka to the Princess AnousTa, petitioning her Royal Highness to in tercede with his MAJESTY to save the Protestant Constitu tion of the country." Perhaps Mr. JOHN HALCOMBE may take a hint from this, and get certain ladies of the Strand to join in a petition, praying that the Catholic Bill may not pass into_ a law, as it will infallibly affect their character, and, being subversive of the Protestant Constitution, greatly tend to corrupt the morals of the people.

THE KING'S COLLEGE.--Preparations are at length commenced for obtaining possession of the site mentioned some months since on the east of Somerset House, for erecting the new College. Some few pur chases of individual interests have been already made, and, as we hear, at such very liberal prices, that should the Committee persevere in this way, it is shrewdly sus pected the princely sum subscribed will prove altogether inadequate to complete the building.—Morning Paper. LONDON LEVELS. —The most lofty site in the immediate vicinity of London is the tavern called Jack Straw's Castle, on the brow of Hampstead Heath, which is 443 feet above the Thames. The top of the cross of St. Paul's Cathedr,l is 407 feet,while its base, or ground line, is 52 feet. The !me of the lowest building is that of the Bricklayer's Arms, Kent-road, the sill of the eout door of which is only six inches above the high-water mark.

The LORD CHANCELLOR,..Rp - ou the application of Mr. HORNE, ordered this appeal to stand perempto rily for, hearing on Monday next. WILSON V. CARMICHAEL. Mr. HORNE opened the crass appeal this morning in this case, involving questions upon exceptions to the Master's Report. Mr. Wilson, the appellant, was the executor of the late Mr. Andrew Carmichael, a solicitor of eminence, whose principal assets con sisted of debts due from nearly 200 persons. For the recovery of these debts, the executor was under the necessity of instituting a great number of suits both in Courts of Law and Equity. In many instances re ferences had been made to the Master, whose reports upon exceptions were confirmed by the Court of Chancery in Ireland ; against'that decision Mr. Wil son, the executor, appealed. We left Mr. SUGDEN addressing the House on the part of the appellant. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied this morn ing in hearing petitions in bankruptcy, none of which possessed any public interest. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANG E . There was a good supply of Foreign Wheat last week; but very little English or Insh Corn, and not much Flour coastwise. I Superfine samples of English Wheat are so scarce, that the mil. lers are obliged to give for such an advance of le. to 2s. per quar ter; but all Other descriptions meet a slow sale at the same terms as quoted on this day se'nnight. Barley for malting fully indin. tains the terms of last Monday : other sorts are very dull in sale. Beans and Pease of fine quality have rather improved in value. Oats are not plentiful ; but there has not been much demand to. day, and they may be quoted much the same as last week. There is a moderate sale for Flour, at no alteration in prices.

The attendance of country dealers was exceedingly small to this day's market, and the transactions have been so very trifling, that it is difficult to make out a price current.

A meeting of the Irish Bishops at present in London was held last week at the residence of the Primate of Ireland. There were not more than seven or eight • present, end of these the Bishops of KILDARE, of Dwarf and (we understand) of Mourn also, dissented from e petition which is to be presented to the KING on Satur day next, against the Relief Bill at present in progress through the Commons' House. There was also a meet- . ing of the English Bishops at the palace of the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, and we have to congratulate the cause of civil and religious liberty on the fact, of which we have been assured, that twelve English Bishops have declared their intention to support Ministers on the ap preaching division on the Relief Bill in the House of Lords.— Observer. Madame CAMPORESE arrived in England on Friday, and has, in a very handsome manner, commuted to give her gratuitous aid at the Concert at Guildhall ow Thursday morning next, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian refugees. There is said to be some expectation that Lord GRENVILLE will make an effort to attend in his place in the House of Lords on the second , reading of the Catholic Relief Bill. BOROUGH OF SANDWICH.—A contest has suddenly arisen in the borough of Sandwich, just vaCate4 . , by Sir EDWARD OWEN. Sit HENRY FANE was expected to have been returned without - opposition.

Mr. Parer, a bar••. rister of the west, has since started, and is determined to stand a contest. The assizes for this county commence next . Saturday. The calendar is, we understand, very heavy.--.. Birmingham Journal. In Paris, the distress of th• Portuguese re fugees, who sought an asylum at Brest after the affair of Terceira, appears to have created a great deal of sym- pathy, and to have been relieved in rather a novel man ner. A subscription was opened for these unfortunate men, and a ball at 20 francs the ticket took place at Vaux- • hall, for their benefit. The tickets thus sold amounted ; to 1,600, and the number of persons who attended to 1,200. We mention the circumstance only to h are an . opportunity of noticing the singular composition of the party assembled fur this benevolent object. Among • them were found Liberals and courtiers, Princes of the blood, and Paris shopkeepers. But the strangest appear ance of all in such an assembly wan that of the Marquis and Marchioness of LOULE. The Marchioness, w ho is Don MIGUEL'S sister, danced with Gen. SAtnaratA , who headed the sufferers for whom the ball was given. Thus the sister of the usurper, herself persecuted by huts' attends a charitable entertainment to relieve the victims of her brother's perfidy and persecution. A SCOTTISH S OLOMON .--in old tlunegt, r when the landlord of an inu presented his guests w ith deoch an dornis, that is, the drink at the door, o r the, stirrup-cup, the draught was not charged in the reckon - ing. On this point a learned Bailie of the town of Forfar' pronounced a very sound judgment. A., an ale-wife is - .Forfar, had brewed her " peck of malt," and set the quor out of doors to cool ; the cow of 8., a neighbour of: A., chanced to conic by, and seeing the good beverage , was allured to taste it, awl finally to drink it up. Whet , . A. came to take in her liquor, she found her tub erilptY , and from the cow's staggering and staring, so as to b e tray her intemperance, she easily divined the mode in which her , " browst" had disappeared. To take due vengeance on:. Crommie's ribs with a stick was her next effort. The roaring , of the cow brought 8., her master, who remonstratei: with his angry neighbour, and received in reply a demand , for the value of the ale which Crummie had drank up. 1 3 - 4 refused payment, and was conveyed before C., the Bailie,' " or sitting magistrate. He heard the case patiently, Ea then demanded of the plaintiff A , whether the caw had eat down to her potion, or taken it standing. The plaintiff An' . swered, she had not seen the deed:committed, but she sap': posed the cow drank the ale while standing on her feet adding, that bad she been near, she would have made her: use them to some purpose. The Bailie, on this admission, so lemnly adjudged the cow's drink to be deoch an dorlds--.- 4 stirrup-cup, for which no charge could be made, ,without violating the ancient hospitality of Scotland.—Sir Walter Scott. THE GERMAN CHARACTER.—You will: probably find the Cermans in their life, as they appear their literature : the inward world of thought and feeling has always predominated with them. They have been led to national exertions more by indistinct impulse and entho-. sittsm, than by calculating intellect : and while the love of liberty has ever warmed the Geiman breast, it, hat burned most fiercely when their right of freedou conscience was impeded. It i s thi s , th e i r contempla tive tendency, which has led them to enitivate the pleasures afforded in the seclusion of domestic life, ratee than to strive for those inalienable rights which alone eau secure private happiness. The German steps from, the, narrow circle of his family into the boundless field of spe-: culative research; hut, unhappily, he too often forget°, that it is only by his exertions for nutional welfare that he can give a practical value to those researches. Na. people has ever more actively and successfully eulti-, vated the empire of ideas—none neglected more deplor ably the affairs of the commonweal and of actual life., The Germans will be found admirable fathers, virtuoug,_ members of society, loyal subjects, eminent scholars, but, careless citizens. There have, however, been otTuggles glorious ones—for national union and independence.; hoc the rousing spirit has Leen checked and stifled, and the • people soon lulled into a contemplative slumber by the evadle-song of their many thousand cosmopolitical writer's who, with few exceptions, have neglected to affora scope for public life and national activity. When. Gentlemen, I shall have made you acquainted' with the organization of that admirable language ; when, you, yourselves shall have acquired a thorough knowledge of it, and of the treasures which it contains,—then I shall feel truly gratified, if you will participate with me in the belief and hope, that, like the mysterious statue of Memnon, it wilt resound its finest tones when warmed by . the' sun 0 ( liberty, which in your own free and happy:eito:tintri'has, called forth so many masculine, so many Undyini sounds. —Professor Mullenfeld's Introe44cto4 .Leetnre - at, the London University.
