A Naval C-urt Martial was held on hoard his Ma jesty's ship Hussar, ly;ng in Port-Royal Harbour, Ja rtaica, on Monday, ti , e 2.L1 of May, 1825% nd cootie reed by adjournments until Saturday, tie 7th, when the following—Officers, being the Post-Captains and Senior Commanders on the station, formed the Court: Captain George Harris, C.D. of the Hussar, President. Wm." Elliott, C. B. of the Lively. Hugh Patton; of the 'Rattlesnake. •-•••••••• George Russell, of the Scylla. 0. V. Vernon, of the Britotnart. Wm. Paine, Esq. Judie-Advocalle. Mr. Hugh Babb, acting master on board his Ma jesty's ship Scylla, was placed on his trial for miscon duct, on the 31st March last, when the ship struck on a shoal off Savanna-la-Mar, and sustained thereby considerable damage, which obliged her to put back into Port-Royal, and be sent to the Dock-yard. The Court found the prisoner guilty of negligence on several points of duty, on which account the ship stiuck ; but in consequence of his encellent character, he was only sentenced to be severely admonished, and not to be capable of promo:ion to the rank of con firmed Master for one year. The following seamen and marines of his blajestes strip Hussar were then tried and found Guilty. Charles Perry, a seaman—For refusing to obey an order to wash and scrub clothes on the lath February last, and for 44- obeyiug an order of a boatswain's mate, together with general in subordinate conduct, was sentenced to receive two hundred lashes round the fleet, to be mulct in one half the pay due to him, and to be disgracefully dismisses) his Majesty's service. Michael Buck, a seaman--For refusing to obey the same order to wash and scrub, and using threatening and disgraceful language to a man that was scrubbing, as also to the Coxswain of his boat, was sentenced to receive two hundred Lashes. Edward Rlppinghatn, a seaman—For refusing to obey the order to wash and scrub, and skulking when he should have been upon , deck on duty, was sentenced to receive fifty lashes in his own ship. The prisoner was acquitted of the charge of disobedience of orders. John Shipley, a private of Marines—For refusing to obey the aforesaid order to wash and scrub clothes, - and using threatening lahguage to one who was doing so, was sentenced to receive three hundred and Wry lashes round the fleet, to be mulct of all the pay due to him, to lose all the time he has served in the Marine Corps, to he disgracefully drutsur.ed out of the same, and twelve months' solitary confinement in the Marshalsea. James bleselle, a private of Marines--For refining to obey the sr to wash and scrub clothes, he being constantly dirty in his and for refusing to obey an order of his corporal, was sen tenced to receive a hundred lashes round the fleet. Thomas Stanbridge, a private of Marines—For refusing to obey the order above alluded to—tor refuting when a second time or dered, and being constantly dirty, was sentenced to receive a bun clad lashes only, in consequence of his receiving a good character in every other respect. David Jones, a seaman of the Scylla, was also tried for desertion, , and sentenced to receive a hundred lashes round the Sort. Mr. E. Cavin , gli, Boatswain of the Rattlesnake. was put ( n his trial for drunkenness!—hut the charge not being fully eqallislied. he was dismissed with an ad monition to be moie circumspect in future. Ye.;erdly, the Llquest on the body of a new-born rale it,fant, tliat had beeii scut from Winchester, by the coach, to a M. I It /wiser, in Vincent-streei, Vausl:4l, vas resumed at the llegent's Arms, Ileec:tit sticc:, Vauxhall. Mr. LYFORD. the Surgeon, of NI in clicstcr, to obtain whose evidence the Inquest had been mainly adjourned, did not, however, make his appear-, ante, although thete was no doubt he had been duly summoned. Some of the Jury wondeted that the child should have been sent to a person who was notoriously a fortune-teller, and about whose house the carriages of Ladies, anxious to explore their destiny, were to be tiaily seen; and the Coroner thought, if Mr. FRICKLA u ere examined, he. might be able to unveil a little of the mystery. Afer much consultation, the Inquest, was again adjourned, for the purpose of obtaining the wished-for testimony, until Friday next. A few days ago, Mrs. Brown, of Beeston, bad occa ion to have her chimney swept, and employed a lad and a young man who were travelling through the vil lage in that profession; the lad was in the chimney an unusual time, of which she complained, and when sbe after wards went up stairs, she found that somebody had gone down the other funnel, and been over the floor, for she could trace the foot-marks, and some silver was taken from her drawer. It was also discovered, that some person had been down the chimney of the next house, but found the fire-place fastened up with a chimney-board, which probably frustrated the design. Mr. John Craven, a farmer at Guiseley, had, during the day, been assisting his brother in the husbandry business, and in the evening retired to sup with him.— During the time they were at supper, his nephew, a youth about sixteen years of age, took up a gun, which had not been used for a long time, and presenting it •at his uncle s,id, " Uncle, I will shoot you;" when, to his consternation and horror, the piece went off, and shot t!s unsusrecting r.tative dead oa the spot. The shot passed through his cheek and part of the head, and so iustartareous «as his death, that he expired before he co:•?d cemrlete the mstinctive movement of raising his Ward to Hs head. 3t:nday evening, as two of the men in the Preventive Service were on the honk-out for smugglers, near Ltd tenni:, they were SIP priard by a party of men, between 6() and 70, who immed•ately deprived them of their swords' at.d pitsils, and caniesl tlizm to the edge of the et:7F, %time they were placed with their heads hanging over the precipice, with the comfortable assurance that if they made the letst noise, or gave alarm, they should immediately be thrown over. During this time a smug gling vessel .landed her crop (100 casks), which the shore gang placed on. their horses, and carried off in triumph,. After the ezop had been fairly disposed of, the Preventive men %vete removed from their perilous situation, and taken by the smugglers (who stoodgnard over them) into an adjt icing field, where they bound them hand and foot, in order to prevent them from giving alarm to their brother officers, and in this state they were found the following morning. A sow r%f Ole Chinese breed, the property of Mr. ' Britten, of Walthaettstow, has produced at three farrows 76 pigs—viz. at the fast, 24 pigs . 4 second, 25 pigs; third, 27 pigs; and neatly the whole were farrowed alive. This exceeds the famous Alban sm. • Friday, a man mowing grass in a field near Paisley, cut off the head of a partridge sitting in her nest,which contained nine eggs. On the eggs being broken, three I f them were found to contain two birds each. POLITICAL ECONOMY.—ShonIy after the commence ment cf the last war, a tax was laid on candles. A Scotch wife ir. Greenock remarked to her chandler, Paddy Macbeth, that theprice was raised, and asked why ? " a' UWllll ' to the wit," said Paddy. " The wiz 1 ." said the astonished matroti; Gtatt;ioU) me! are they glum to tight by candle light ?" A .vaduablett coal mine, has been discovered ou the estate of Mr. CanrianlACTOn. and OM of the best quality is now mining iii Abuudance.• SHOREHAM. JULY 15. ..min•M•••• Mr. Sugden, the Chancery barrister, who started some time ago as a candidate for the Rape of Bramber, has this week made his appearance amongst the Free holders, and has commenced his canvass with, as I am informed( pretty good success. Mr. Howard, t h e nephew of the Duke of Norfolk, had the advantage of being first in the field, and had fairly canvassed the Rape ere Mr. Sugden was seen or heaid of. To skew bow strong the feeling is on' the Catholic Question, Mr. Howard waited on a respectable Gentleman to s,.l , cit his vote, when the following dia logue ensued :—" Ynu are Mr. Howard ?"—" I am." " And you voted for the Catholic Bill ?"—" I did." ci Then I request that you will immediately walk out of my house, and never set your foot within it again." This, though partaking somewhat strongly of the g:- nuine homeliness of John 8011, is a fair specimen of the prevalent feeling ; and if a strenuous opposition be made to Mr. Iloward by any man who grounds his pretensions on his sentiments relative to the Catholic Question, there can be little doubt what would he the result. The voters consist in a great measure of honest, intelligent farmers—men of the old stamp and old school, and of too much plain sense to be bamboorled by the fine•wrougbt schemes of Burdett, Plunkett, l Brougham, and the rest of the lawyers. What ! (say they) shall we, who, even in thtse piping times, find enough to do to pay the tithes.--shall we consent to pay -a set of Popish Priests ? This is an argument which comes home to every man, and nothing is wanted but a candidate to give the electors an opportunity of proving their determination. Sunday night some desperate and unfeeling incen diaries again set fire to the plantations of the Right Hon. Lord Clifford, on Haldon, in two different places, at least a mile distant ; after the fames had raged a considerable time, and nearly eight acres of the plant a ions had been consumed, his Lnrdship's keepers and workmen succeeded in exthiguishing them. A large snake, that had for some time past fre quented a pond on Rook's farm at Keymer, Sussex, and destroyed a great number of ducks on the pond, was shot, a few days ago, by one of Mr. Bine's labourers, whilst struggling with a duck which it had seized. Wednesday se'nnight,at Saladine Nook,near Hudders field, while two boys were amusing themselves with a loaded gun that had been placed within their reach, it suddenly went off; and the contents lodging in the head of the elder boy, lie died on the spot. ANOTHER Tuau.our.--The men employed by the Royal Irish Mine Company, at the lead s ks near Kil liney, have tut ned out•--snot upon the score of wages, but of privilege. They say, that they consider them selves not Worriers but mineralogists ; and that they should not be required to work the same number of hours which labouring men du. Wednesday evening, William Armour, dyer, Paisley, was convicted before the Justices, of Paving stolen a quantity of silk yarn from his employers, Messrs. John Gilchrist and Son, dyers, Lonend, and sentenced to 30 days confinement in Bedewell. The manner in which the theft was discovered, and the thief de , ected, is ra ther curious. For some time past, Messrs. Gilchrist observed an unaccountable dirnintrion occasionally take place in their stock of silk. Suspecting that some of their servants were acting clishons•ttly, they concealed a loaded musket, on full cock, amidst a quantity of silk, and attached by a string several beads of silk to the trigger of the piece. The stratagem succeeded. Oil Monday afternoon, the discharge of the gun proclaimed the operations of the thief, and on repairing to the spot, the unfortunate culprit was found trembling by the side of the tell-tale musket. Armour is an old soldier, and a pensioner, and his ear is consequently not un• used to the discharge of fire-arms, but he declares that no report of musket or cannon, from friend or foe, ever made his heart /outs like Mr. Gilchtist's gun. The Cour Royale at Paris lately decided on the case of a M. Duclerc, who was sent to Bedlam by his friends, for evincing an insane passion for an actress of the Fey dean. The object of his love was Mademoiselle Mori, now Madame Pradher. M. Duclerc besieee. , .! her door, followed her to the theatre, and placed h'-sse't full in her view during the play. He thus compull,d the ac tress to give him an audience, in which si e ant:minced to him that his passion was misplaced, and that her heart was engaged. So far from being cured by this announcement, his passion was only exalted by it.— Flom silent contemplation of her charms, he proceeded to avion—from heartfelt sighs to violence. One fine morni. g, M. Dialers; was conducted from the Fcydeau to Charenton. Ile of course exclaimed against the in justice of this proceeding, and demanded of every man in love was a tit subject for Bedlam ? From being the passionate but unsuccessful lover, he now soothed ltim self with the idea that he was pap sued by the fair, and that his pci--..ecutors only prevcated his receipt of those favours hich she was eager to grant. He imagined be saw nadaitits Pladhcr nlar tar house where he was lodged, and inisteck foi her a young madman,who sung the couplets of the Ciareroa :(cube in which she acted. A medical man was sent to f xarzi ne him, and was just about to stn an order for his rs lease, when the lover turned round, and asked .11e doctor if " he believed in the power of magicians ?" He, shell begun to sing the charms of Madenns;selle M i, and his wits immedi ately left him. The Court has.contined him. Dr.Azzinictz, the Dean of Christ Cliusch, was so fond of smoking that be was scarcely ever without his pipe. A Student, one morning at breakfast, laid his compa nicn a wags: that the Dean was then smoking. Away they accordingly hastened to the DoctOr's ; a..d, admit ted to his study, told the Doctor the occasion of their visit ; when, addressing himself good humouredly to him who bad laid that he was smoking, said," You see, Sir, you have lost your wager, for I am not smokiog, but filling my pipe," 'The Irish, like the Tuscans, are extremely picturesque in their language. Thus they constantly use the %void dark as synonymous with blind; and a blind beggar will implore you " to look down .with pity on a poor dark man." It may be observed too, that the Irish, like the Scotch, by a very beautiful and !ender euphemison, call .idiots innocents. A Lady of rank in Ireland asking a man after a poor orphan, 41 Als I my Lady," said he, " th e poor creature is sad afflicted with innocence." The late Mr. THICKNESSE being in great want of money, applied to his son (Lord AuDLEY) for assistance, but being denied, be imipediately hired a cobbler's stall in the same street, directly opposite his Lordship's house, and had a board put up with these words on it 6 , Boots and shoes made and mended by Philip Thicknesse, fa ther of Lord Audley." This answered the purpose ; and he vas supplied with everything he wanted, on condi tion Of - leaving the stall. POLICE II7TtLIGENCr. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, the Stock Jobber, who was charged oh the day be fore with having improperly diapered of a letter, entitling the bearer to a certain number of shares in sane of the new Companies, at tended at the Mansion-House, accompanied by a number of friends, for the purpose of answering the charge made against him. It was proved that the price which he paid to the boy for the let ter was PO little under the negociabk price in the market, as to do away any Idea of his having instigated the boy to commit the theft, or of his being in any way accessary to It. The prosecutor's solicitor, on his behalf, then contended that at least it was highly improper for any one to give money to a mete child, of whom be could scarcely know anything, for a document which had another person's name affixed to it. Mr. Hobler. the chief Clerk, said it was a question for the law officers, whether the document which had in this instance been ta ken was a thing of value? if it were determined in the affirma tive, it would then be a question how far a person was responsible who received such property without inquiry? It might he con sidered that be stood in the same situation as a person who bought a silver candlestick of a stranger without looking at the cypher upon ir, or asking him from whom he got it. A second Stock Jobber declared that it was a common thing in the Stock Market for mere boys to go and dispose of such-property in the manner the boy had In this instance. The witness had pur chased of this very boy documents of the same nature. A stock.brukrr said the boy bad been his err:nd-boy far nearly two years. He bad never intrusted him to sell such documents, nor was it the practice in the Stock Exchange, whatever it was in the Alley, to buy documents of boys of whom they knew nothing. The boy, who was present, said the jobber knew him by sight. lie got 1 St for the letter. The complainant, when pressed by the defendant to retract the charge that the latter had been accessary to the theft, refused to make any altetation in the statement made the day before. He was still of opinion that the defendant had acted very improperly in re ceiving the letter of such a boy. The Loan Nlaviaa was of opinion, from the price the defendant gave for the document, that no criminal intention could beiriiputed. It was at most, in his opinion, highly culpable negligence. The practice of buying neg..ciable securities from boys, wherever it was carried on was highly reprehensible; and indeed the practice of trafficking iu these promises of shares in Companies (fur the docu. ment was little more than a promise) was part of the abominable system of gambling introduced by these new Companies, and which was flow so prevalent. lies Lordship refused to entertain the charge of felney against the boy, and dismissed the complaint. He did not consider the letter to be property. At the same time he expressed his opinion that the public would benefit by the expo sure of the practice. GUILDHALL. Mr. Hurcombe, jun. of St. Paul's Church-yard, son of Mr. Hurcombe. the Common Councilman, yesterday charged Charles Payne, a grocer's porter, with having cruelly ill-treated the errand boy of Mr. Holdswortb, a buoksaller, in the City. Mr. Hurcombe said, he was standing at his door early in the morning, and saw the prisoner, in passing the house with a chest of tea on his brad, push violently against the lad to get him out of the road. The boy had not then seen that he was in the way, and thinking that he bad been pushed aside with more force than was necessary, turned round and hit the man on the back, and then ran off. The porter instantly put down his load, and, overtaking the lad, struck him an angry and violent blow on the head, that knocked him down senseless. hlr. Hurcombe being an eye witness to the brutal force with which the blow was given, went out, and ordered the man to be taken to the Compter ; and also gave direc tions to have the sufferer taken to the Hospit..l, where it was soon ascertained that the skull was dreadfully injured, if not fractured. Sir Cnaat.as FLowea—The lad, I suppose, is unable to attend, and if there is not . now here a certificate of the state be is in, I will remand this man until his condition is better known. The Alderman was told that there was not such a certificate, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded. BOW-STREET. Nearly every day this week, the Magistrates here have had a good portion of their time occupied in hearing complaints of master manufacturers and tradesmen against refractory workmen. Mr. Canning, a coach harness-maker in Cross-lane, brought up six of his men for !caving their work on Tuesday ; and on Thursday, Mr. Bushnell, the coachrnaker, in Oxlord.street, brought seven or eight of his journeymen to answer for similar misconduct. Titan last had gone away suddenly, and left a carriage 'belonging to Lord Mountcharles unfinished, and another belonging to Sir D. Baird finished, but in so bad a manner, that Mr. Bushnell was obliged to send it to another house to be retouched. In these and other cases the men, when the law was explained to them, and they were threatened with the treadmill, consented to apologise to their masters, and return to their work, and the Magistrates being, as they said, always reluctant to disgrace a hardworking, and perhaps ingenious mechanic, by sending him to a prison, to herd with felons and the worst of characters of all sorts, discharged them. In the case of Mr. 13ushnell's men, however, which was heatdonThursday evening. the Magistrates took occasion to observe, that the spirit of I ~ .obordination appeared to be spreading to such an extent, that in all tutore charges of this kind, the Act would be enforced. T:is Finn Count:Mort masa Tilt New COMISNATIOX A man oznied Fond, a journeyman shoemaker, was brought before Nir. HALLS, charged, under the New Combination Act, with sulking for a price. Mr. A shenham, a respectable shoemaker, residing at Hampstead, status!, that about a fortnight since, there had been a general strike throughout the town for an increase of wages. A man named Turner, in his employ, who bad been forced into the combination, bad returned to his work. However, he unfortunately went to the public house where the conclave of the journeymen cordwakners was held. He was immediately seized, and made to promise not to go again to work, under pain of being dragged through the ponds. lie by this means escaped. The defendant contended, that he had only said the complainan t ought to be dragged through a pond. Mr. Ilat.ts sentenced him to one month's imprisonment, and hard labour in the House of Correction. -- Keenes, one of the Fulham coachmen, was fined 40s. for using abusive language to a passenger. UNION HALL William Peck, the youth who recently lived in the service of Mr. Hudson, of Kenningtor, was yesterday brought up for re-exami nation, charged with forging the name of Mrs. Newsome, of Pa ragon, New Kent-road, to a cheque drawn on Messrs. Weston, . Young, and Rostock, bankers in the Borough, for .210 es. 6d with an intent to defraud Mr. Thomas Crafter, the landlord of the Brick layers' Arms, in the Kent-road. Some of the parties corceroed in the prosecution were extremely anxious to suppress the evidence, but L.B.Axxert, Esq. the presiding Magistrate, before whom the charge was brought, said it was essen tial to the ends of *nice that it should be brought forward. The only additional evidence to that which was detailed in our former Police Report., was that of Mrs. Crafter, Mrs. Newsome, and Trely the constable. It is as follows: Mrs. Crafter stated, that on the evening of Tuesday the 12th inst. the prisoner came to the Bricklayers' Arms, and presented a cheque. payabloat Messrs. Weston and Co.'s Bank, requesting to have cash for it; the amount was .fflo M. Id. Witness in- Luired who the money wes for? endives told that his mistimes, a ady named Newsome who resided at, No. 5, Paragon, New Kent-road, had sent bin: for a quart of bandy, and that she re quested to have the thefts, cashed. Witness then banded the cheque to her husband, who, after inspecting it, found that there was no insiorsinnent on it. He then told the boy that before the cheque could be cashed it must have his mistress's name upon it, sod therefore he must return to have that done. The prisoner went away, and In about ten minutes retuned with the cheque, which he presented ;it bad then on it the name of Mrs. Newsome. In stead of a quart of brandy he took a smaller quantity and a pint of rum, with which he went off, but in a short time afterwards was brought back in the custody of a constable. Mrs. Newsome deposed, that the prisoner was* stranger to her— that the name " Mrs. Newsome" written on the cheque was not her hand-writing ; neither did she authorise the prisoner nor any other person to write it. Trely, the constable, having been accidentally in the house when the prisoner entered, was requested by the landlord to follow him, and see if he went to Mrs. Nevrsonse's house ; instead of entering her door the prisoner, passed on, and the constable having ascer tained that the prisoner was not her servant, took bias into custody, and conveyed him back to the Bricklayers' Arms, where he searched him, and found on his person three other cheques on the same bank for small amounts, two with the signatures of Thomas Class, and one signed T. Smith. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute. and the prisoner was remanded, there being, it is said, additional evidence to brine forward. THAMES POLICE.

Mary Welsh charged her husband, David Ircisis, with acts of cruelty. It appeared the complainant had lived Nevem with a f o r_ fuer wife of the defendant, by whom he had two children, and at whose death he married her. Since that time het life bad been one continued scene of misery.

Alderman Same said it was high time such a husband and father should be prevented from the commission of such atrocities, and o r.. deted hint to find bail, and to make a provision for his wife and child. He complied with these terms, and was discharged. The Taunton turnpike-gates Asere oh Tuesday let at 1,0641. above what they were let 'et- last year.

DUNDEE, JULY 7.—A party of the 72d Highland Regiment, accompanied by a full military band and twobagpiperg, arrived at Dundee fr om the heAd-quarters of the Regiment, in Elliaburgh Castle, on Tuesday fore noon, and kept parading the stree s on that. day and yesterday with all the "pomp and circuinitance of war," in order to procure recruits. The spirit-stirring music, and chewy dress of the men produced its due effect on a population for some time past unaccustornd to such spectacles, and they picked up about thirty young lads. The trade of Leith is at present greater than it was ever known to be, if the amount of duties received at the Custom house may be held as a criterion.
