Mrs. Rainsford was walking on the evening of the day in question, about nine o'clock, along Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, when the prisoner came up. with ethers, and, after Tadao, attempts to tear her reticule from her hands, at length sanctities!. by the string breaking, when he ran away. To rebut this, Mr. Cox, a publican, was caned, who swore that the prisoner, with two others, came into his haute about a quarter after eight o'clock, and did not go away again until half-Past ten. Mr. Justice Boamonst summed up the evidence to the Jury, and put it to them to say if they believed the witness? After a few minutes ceniukatios, they requested that Mr. Cox should be again called, which wife done, and e be was asked if he could swear that the prisoner was not out of the house during the time in question ? At first he said, no—that he only knew it from what his wife said; , but be after added. that he could swear he was in tliehouse at half-past eight. The Jury found him Na C 11.11166 or MURDItts. Patrick 3fallie was put to the bar, on an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of Thomas Dainton, in the parish of St. James. Westminster. by striking him on certain parts of his body.

The medical Gentleman who was called in to the deceased. stated, that on eta ntinationeof the body, he observed there was an appearance of die.. ease about it • and he was also of opinion, that the injury had not been sufficiently violent to cause death. There was no external injury observable. He considered the diseased state of the vessels of the heart were the immediate cause of death.

The Triune, Dunbar, has arrived :at our quarantine station from Alexandria, in Egypt, which place she left on the 17th of April. Occasional cases of plague occur there, and she is furnished wills a foul bill of health. Captain Dunbar states, that when at Alexandria, a boy that he shipped in the Mediterranean was taken ill on board ; be was an Irish lad ; he kept him on board twenty-four hours, when, as commanded by the Con sul, he was carried to the Hospital at Alexandria, where he died in about eight days—it is thought of the plague, from the symptoms which he described. What will Dr. Maclean say to this? All now on board the Triune are quite well. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. COMAII7I - 11 ROO MS. The Select Committee of the House of Commons, on Committee Rooms, and printed Papers, have made their Report ; in which it is stated, that in consequence of the increase of Parliamentary business, and the great number of Public Committees. additional Rooms are wanted. During the present Session, twenty-three Public Committees have been appointed, some of which sat for several months ; and that on a single day, four Committees met on public, and thirty on private busi ness t , nineteen of the latter having been fixed to meet in one room. The Committee, thereore, recommends that ,immediate steps be taken, to enlarge the present accom modation, by an addition of ten Committee Rooms, at the least, conveniently situated, and of a size adequate to the purposes for which they are intended. The Com mittee also recommends a new Library, as the present room is too small. The site recommended for these new buildings, is the Court bounded by the Thames. the Long Gallery, the Painted Chamber, and the House `of Commons. BOMBAZINES AND NORWICH CRAPES.

The Daum frigate (new) built at Milford, is to be 'commissioned at Plymouth, without delay, in order 'ti/ ascertain whether a vessel sent immediately to sea, will prove more datable than one that has first been laid up in ordinary. It is now the-practice to allow new ships to Continue in harbour for some time before they are called into active service, it being supposed 'that by these means they acquire a due seasoning.— The present experiment will demonstrate whether such seasoning be necessary, and should it be found that ships sent to sea immediately. on leaving the stocks, are equally durable with these which are laid up for a time in ordinary, the advantages which must arise from the discovery will be very great, especially in time of war, when hasty equipments are frequently * 3O necessary.

The following are the circumstances of this case, which has gone through the ordeal of two Courts of Law, and ell the Courts of Equity, and on which not only the Law Courts differed, but the Equity Courts differed among themselves, and from the two Law Courts, which strongly exemplifies the uncertainty of the law. Thomas Murthwaite died in 1808, having devised all his real and personal estates to his three nieces for life, and after) the decease of them, or either of them / the issue to en joy the mother's share, for life, in like manner. And if all the nieces, and their issues, save one, should die without issue, then such surviving niece to receive the rents, &c. for life, and afterwards the issue of such niece and her heirs, and on failure thereof to the next male heir. The matter came before the Vice-Chancellor in 1818, who directed a case to be laid before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, as to what estate the nieces were entitled to by virtue of the will. They were of opinion, that the nieces 'took only an estate for life; le the Freehold and personal property, and t':e Vice- Chancellor issued a Decree in conformity to this opi-. Won ; from thi., an appeal was made to the Lord Chan cellor, who submitted the above question ti the Court of King's Bench, who were of opinion, that the nieces took an estate tail in the freehold estates, and absolute interests in the personal property, and that George Bar surd, who is at present the 'only issue of the nieces, has at present no estate in either of the properties, but should he survive the nieces he would be tenant in tail of the freehold, but have no interest in the leasehold estates. —The Lord Chancellor, after mature deliberation, decreed that the nieces had an estate tail in the freehold property, but took only an estate for life in the lease hold property ; from this an Appeal was m*de to the House of Lords. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going through all the circumstances as here stated, said, that he had heard no ai guments in that House to induce him to change the opinion he had first formed of it—he was guided by this principle, that whenever an estate is devised to A. and his issue, with remainder, as soon as issue is born, the ancestor has an estate in tail. It was evi dent, on the face of the will, that the testator intended that both properties should go to the issue ; in this case the freehold property must, of necessity, go to the issue ; but it would be otherwise with the per sonal property, if the nieces were entitled to an tabus lute interest in it, and the intention of the testator might be thereby frustrated. His Lordship concluded by moving that the decree be affirmed, which ssas agreed to. SULLIVAN V. HUTCHINS. This was an Appeal from the equity side of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. The Loh') CHANCEL.. LON said, that the decree being founded on an Irish Statute, the 10th of William 111. this Court had no jurisdiction ; he therefore dismissed the Appeal. ARKWRIGHT V. TIIE MARQUIS OF lIIJNTLY. .The appellant in this case became purchaser of part of the estates of the late :Marquis of Ormond, and sub sequently declined completing the contract, on the, grounds that the title could not be made good, on ac- i count of an indenture connected with it being usurious. The LORD CMANCELLOR, in affirming the decree, said that there was nothing usurious on the face of the deed, therefore external evidence could not be admitted to chew that it was an usurious contract. There was a great deal of mystery involved in it, and math reason to suspect that, to evade the penalty of the law, there had been much confidence put in the honour of the parties; yet, to establish a usurious contract, it must appear evidently so on die face of it. The Earl of CLAINRICARDE has subscribed 201. to the Galway blendicity Association. Wednesday, the House of Lords gave judgment in favour of Sir WILLIAM Faancts ELLIorr.

From the fineness of the weather, the crops of hay throughout the kingdom have been got together in excellent order, and with uncommon rapidity ; but the quantity bears no proportion to the quality. Fries.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, an' alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. James Gray, baker and mealman, in Great Peter-street, West Minster, which, from its being contiguoth to a timber yard and carpenters shops, caused the utmost fears for the safety of the aurrounding houses. It began in the bakehouse. owing , to the oven being overheated, and some coals that were deposited over the oven hav ing caught fire. Fortunately, by the speedy arrival of the engines, and a plentiful supply of water, the flames were arrested, and prevented from spreading farther than Mr. Gray's premises, which are • materially da maged in the rear.—A fire broke. out yesterday morn ing, in the Green-lanes, Stoke Newington, on tl.e pre osises of Mr. Massey, a bullion-dealer, of Leadenball street. Mr. M. had just finished building four houses, near the end of Church-sane, and the workmen were going to leave to-day, when one of the houses was dis covered to be on fire, which, owing to the dry state of, the materials, was spreading rapidly to the adjoining , houses. Persons employed themselves in • throwing' water with pails and buckets, but without effect, and the whole of Mr. Massey's houses were enveloped in the flames, and all attempts to arrest their progress proved abortive. Before the engines could arrive from town, three out of the lour were completely burnt down. No cause can be assigned for the conflagration. A French author, who has recently published a "Tour through England," calls plumb-pudding 'toucan . de jamb (lead pudding), and translates Shasspeare's Winter's Tale into Conk de . Mr. )Pinter.

TO TIM EDITOR OP TUE rArntnt. bra —You wit oblige me by inserting in your re spectable paper (which, in my judgment, advocates the Catholic cause on its true grounds) the following state -meat arid opinion. I remain, Sir, your obedjeot Servant, WILLIAM BELLEW. It having been resolved, at the late Aggregate Meet ing of the Catholics of Ireland, held on Wednesday, the Bth of June, 1825, " That twenty-one Gentlemen be requested to meet in due observance of the law, and consider whether there can be framed, without any violation of the existing law, a permanent body to as.ist ih the conducting or management of strch portion . of Catholic affairs as it may be by law permitted to have , managed, without resorting to the too frequent holding of aggregate meetings, and in particular without in any way infringing on a recent statute?" and not being one of the persons appointed for that purpose, I take this method of making known my opinion on the matter referred forconsideration, being on every ground anxious to contribute, as fir as is in my power, to a right del cision by the Catholic body on the subject. OPINION. " 1 have read and attentively considered the Act of the 6th of the present King, chap. 4., entitled "'An Act to amend certain Acts relating to unlawful Societies in Ireland,' and, in my opinion, there cannot be formed, consistently' with the enactments which such Act con tains, any body of persons for the purpose of acting in any manner with a view to procuring the repeal of-any of the laws of which the Roman Catholics complain, if such body is in reality and in fact to be continued for more than fourteen days from its first meeting ; but I am of opinion, that it is competent to have, without violating the Act in question, any body of persons, acting for the purpose aforesaid, provided it shall really and sn fact not have existence for a longer period than I have jag mentioned, and provided such body shall not undertake to appoint any person or persons to levy or receive, and shall not themselves, or any of them,; receive when levied, any money or contribution from any of his Majesty's subjects—(See the first section of the Act of Parliament abovementioned). It may be , right to observe, that the ninth section of the Act in question, even where it preserves the right of peti tioning his Majesty, or either or both Houses of Pir• liament, for the redress of any public or private griev ance, still limits the continuance of any Assembly or Committee to be convened or appointed for such pur pose, to the same pet iod of fourteen days, and prohi bits the receiving or collecting any money or contribu tion, except so far as may be necessary for the specific purpose of preparing and transmitting to the King, or either House of Parliament, a Petition for the purposes mentioned.—See said ninth section. 44 in what I have above written, I have confined my self to the operation of the Act of Parliament referred to, as being the Act to which I conceive the resolution of the Aggregate Meeting alludes ; but there is another Act, which passed in the Parliament of Ireland, in the Sficl of the late King, and is recited in the before-men tioned Act of the 6th year of his pre:ent Majesty, which .robibits all assemblies of men elected or appointed to represent, or assuming a right or authority to represent, the people of Ireland, or any number or description of , the same, under pretence of petitioning Ar, or in any other manner procuring an alteration of matters esta blished by law in Church or State, except the Parlia ment and the Houses of Convocation ; and if any body of persons were now to be assembled for the purposes just mentioned, and should have been elected to represent, or should assume to represent, the people of Ireland, or any of them, such assembly or 1)04 of persons would be unlawful, even if its continuance were limited to fourteen days, and although they should not undertake to collect, or receive when collected, any money. oi It results from what. I have written, that in my opinion no renewal of the late Catholic Association, nor any formation of a similar body to continue for snore than fourteen days, nor any renewal of the Catholic rent, can now take place without a violation of the law : agd should any attempt be made to evade the late Act of Parliament, (which, in my opinion, would betas worthy as it would be unwise and unavailing, and which, I reins, is not contemplated), the question'fOr the Jury, under the direction of the Court, if an indict ment should be preferred, and a trial should take place, will always be, whether in truth and in fact the assem blage of persons in question was really and in substance to have continuance for more than fourteen days, how ever its continuance was apparently put an end to by adjournment or otherwise, or Whether they in fact and in truth undertook to collect or receive money, except for the necessary expenses of preparing and transmitting Petitions to the King, or either or both Houses of Parliament?

We find that the feelings of society have been actually outraged, by the shameless document which we pub lished yesterday. A very extraordinary press of busi ness, and the necessity of attending at the Denmark street Charity Dinner last evening, have prevented Mr. O'Connell from giving his thoughts to the public on the subject, in this day's Register.

Accounts from Gibraltar state, that General the Earl of CHATHAM ' the Governor of that fortress, em barked, on the 7thult. on board the TRIBUNZ frigate, for England. The quantity of specie imported into the United States during the year ending September last, amounted to 8:047,598 dollars ; the quantity exported to 7,014,552 dollars.

It was between Captain Ross and Mr. Osbaltlestone, at 110 birds each, 21 yards from the trap ; the gun to be placed on a table, as in the former match, and not to be touched until the party about to shoot had pulled the string; the miff difference being, that the Captain shot with a double-barrelled gun, and Mr. 0. with his great single bar rel. The bet was heavy; and, from the difference in the guns, fluctuated ly ; but, averagely, was in favour of the Captain. The superiority of the double barrel, in a match of this sort, was evident throughout; for the Captain at once got a-head, and won his match by °hie bird., having killed 36 (16 without missing one), and Mr. 0. only 27 ; 7 to 4, and 4 to 1 on the gun. A new match is made for Saturday, between these Gentlemen, for 200 sovereigns, at 50 birds, in the Usual way, except that the Cap tain shoots with his double barrel, againat Mr. Osbaldestone's Sa lle, to take place at Battersea. THE GREAT FOOT-RACE FOlt 1000 SOVEREIGNS. Metcalfe, who, as we have already stated, won this race, has run seven times within the last two years, and has acquired the repo itation of being the swiftest runner in the kingdom; but at four or tesmiles, Halton is unequalled. The betting on this very inte resting match has been very heavy, mid bad reached five andalz to four on Metcalfe. At an early hour, the Course was very name rinaly attended all classes, and the greatest anxiety prevailed till chesty; took place, which was WI the king of a signal gun, as half-Past one. They went og at amazing speed; and by the time they 6d run 400 yards, Metcalfe recovered the ground given, and passed his opponent, winning his match by upwards of forty yards.
