Accounts from Chins state, that trade has become greatly embarrassed by the insolvency of the Chinese I merchants. It is stated that in the town of Su-Dscheu which has great cothntercial connections with ICalgan, sixty houses have stopped payment. It is said that the loss of the Chinese trading in Kiachta, amounts to 130,000 lan,.each equal to two silver rubles. They are consequently in great alarm. The trimmers and dyers, connected with the hosiery business in Leicester, tuella out on Monday last for an advance of 3*. per week; hut a number of them being under monthly engagements, which they had broken by leaving their work, application was made to the Magistrates to check such illegal proceedings, and war rants accordingly granted. Two were sent to gaol, and the remainder turned out, without obtaining a general advance. By the census of Hayti taken in 1824, in pursuance of the proclamation of the Piesident, the gross population .-Lalaves, free blacks, and whites—is given at 935,335 inhabitants. Out of ibis number about one-sixth is de• voted to its military force; the regular troops amounting to 45,520, and the national guards to 113,328, making a total of 158,848 men trained to arms. A curious system of robbery has been detected at A:chaffenburg, in Bavaria. A set of ruffians, already iu prison there, connived to cut the bars of their dun geon and to tally forth, committing depredations, after which they returned to prison, replacing the bars, so that their evasion was not discovered. This they con tinued nglitly for a long time, becoming the terror of the town, until one of them, in an escape from the gums', left behind him part of his waistcoat, upon which was a button with the prison mark, and which led to the detection. The Spanish General ALA VA, proscribed in his own count% y for liaving.been faithful to his oaths, in de- Gliding the Constitution of the Cortes, is at present r, siding at Brussels. It is well known that at the time of the battle of Waterloo, this General was Minister of Spain to the Government of the Netherlands, and that he distinguished himself on that blo , aly day by his extraordinary intrepidity. He ha; settled in England, wheste he has found in the Duke of WELLINGTON a friend, who alleviates his exile in that hospitable country. —.4L'Ainitie d'un grand homme est tan Bien fait des Dieu x."—alferssels Paper. A Russian Gentleman, who has for the last eight years been endeavouring to find the philosocher's stone, after a variety of compositions, has succeeded in finding a metal as polished as steel and as flexible as gold. He has made a present of some articles manufactured from it to the Grand Duke Constantine, which are said to be very beautiful.—Brusreis Paper. Friday sennight, an extensive robbery was effected in the premises of Messrs. Christopher Robinson and Co. distillers, Athlone. An iron safe, containing about 1,7001. in bank.notes, post bills, pension bills, and other securities, was carried off on that night, by some persons as yet undiscovered. Last week a party of drunken men committed the bOrly of one of their pot-companions, while be was asleep in the _Chapel yard, near Cleckheaton, to an open grave, and after performing a niock - burial ceremony over him, they began to shovel in the earth. Roused into life by this premature interment, he stilted from the grave, and with difficulty made his escape. Wednesday, a fellow, dressed as a labourer, called on Mrs. M,iddleton, of King -street, Suho, and told her that her mother, who resided at Highgate, was at the point of death, and wished to see her instantly ; adding, that he bad come with the greatest expedition, and hoped she would give him ss. for his trouble.. Mrs. M. said, she had not so much silver; but if he would accompany her part of the way, he should have it. On arriving at ti.e first turnpike he said he could get change, tor which purpose Mrs. M. gave him a sovereign, and proceeded forward, but with so much expedition, that the fellow never overtook her ; and on arriving at Highgate,. she found her mother in perfect health.. At daylight, on the 9th of May, the National Bull. fight Place, in Mexico, was. discovered to be on fire, and the flames made such - Xapid progress, that the police-were unable to take any measures for arresting their progress before the whole was reduced to ashes. This was one of the very few buildings in the whole city of Mexico susceptible of being destroyed by fire, nearly all of them being constructed of volcanic stone, with tile or brick floor, and with very little wood about tla.m. The Bull-fight Place was a large Amphitheatre, built of wood, fastened together by ligaments of raw hide, having fair or five tier of boxes capable of con taining, it is said, at least 12,000 spectators. Aa laquest was held at Lydd, on Saturday last, on the body of a man named Carpenter, who was acciden tally shot on the night of the 11th inst. by Lieutenant J. Millet. employed at the Coast-Guard station near Dunge ness, when a `verdict was retutited Of Wilful Dlurder.-- 7 On the verdict being given the Coroner said, g. Gentie• men, before we separate, and ye,' ; verdict goes before. the world, I take this oppurtcuity resblicly to mention my total dissent from the verdict you have just deli vered. Not one tittle of evidence has been brought forward which could justify, it."

RAPE AND Mutt:Am—An Inquest was held on Wed nesday last, at Chestergate, on the body of Ma-garet Treavnr, whose person was violated, and an atrocious murder afterwards committed upon her, on Friday even'ng se'nnight, about a quarter past nine o'clock, in Holly Wand, Edgeley, on her return ng home, front performing, accordiig to the Romish Church, the Sa crament of Penance, previous to receiving the com munion on the Sunday following. In the annals of barbarism this foul deed has never been exceeded. She was a little woman, of peaceable and harmless manners,, truly religious in her feelings, and sincere in her klief,' was fifty years of age, in a delicate state of health, un married, and in het 1 ist situation had so conducted her self inn fourteen years as to deserve the general esteem of her respe,:ted employers, and every person varneeted o:th Vie establishment in a hich she was engaged. To account, therefore, (or the sacrifice of so harmless a crea tute is tru:y mysterious. The person charged with committing this horrible act is Terence Janes Connel, an Irishman, of about twenty-one years cf age, and a block-cutter. by trade. He is a fine young man, and 'about five feet eight inches high, and it does not ap pear that l-e was in the least acquainted wi:h the de ceased, though she was an Irishwoman, and both attended the same Catholic Chapel. A witness met a little wo:nan" in the wood, and a' about thirty or forty yet ds further he met a men walking quickly a: ter, as though to overtake her ; he describes, as acoura:ely as the situation and the time of the evening will alow both their persons and their dresses; he turned round to look at the man, has since seen a man in custody, and be believes him to be the same, from his figu;e, that he met in the wood on that evening about nine o'clock.' Another witness, who lives very near to the wood, shortly after nine o'clock heard the cries of some one in distress ;he naked a few minutes, and on the ie s being repeated, went to the place from whence they seemed to issue, and in doing so, observed a lantern. and _candle carried in the same direction. When lie arrived at the spot where the body lay, he found the ptisoner and several other persons tittle, with the light, standing over her ; he asked the prisoner, who was . standing next to him, if he was the first person who found her; he said he was, and that he saw no person running away in any direction. The prisoner did not offer any assistance to carry her to the Dispensary, but merely carried the lantern. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and unanimously declared the prisoner 4 , Guilty of the Murder of Margaret Treavor." He is consequently committed to Chester . Castle. Thursday, the LORD MAYOR gave a splendid enter tainment to the Gentlemen composing the Trustees and Committee of the Cotnnureial Travellers' Society. The LORD Mures was supported by the Sheriffs BROWN ind Key, and Bwasux BAR. Ka sa, Esq. The Under Sheriffs were also present. An interesting Parliamentary document has been published, which illustrates the beneficial effect of the present system of Appellate Jurisdiction in the House of Lords. At the commencement of the late Session, there stood on the list of Appeals and Writs of Error 161 cases, and in the course of the Session them were piesented 75, making in all 236. To adjudicate these the House sat 89 days, and the total number of cases Idisposed of by hearings and otherwise was 130, so that , the number re.naining for hearing at present is reduced from 161 to 106. When we consider the vast import ance of many of these causes (a single .me of which last Session decided on a property of 10,0001. a year) ; when we reflect on the nice poissta of law which they gene rally involve, and on the elaborate arguments of Coun sel employed in their illustration, we cannot but con fess that the judicial abilty and perseverance exalted in the course of the Session have been most exemplary, and that .the new system adopted for the expediting of business has been eminently successful. By the Newspapers received last night from Ports mouth, Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds, it appears that the shopmen of the liLen-drapers, hosiers, rnescers, haberdashers, glovers, and other trades of a similar nature, have agt eed to give up business at eight o'clock inahe winter, and nine in the summer. _ COTTON.— fhe unexpected and increased growth of cotton in Egypt has fell iel the exhausted coffers of the Pacha. Mehemet Ali feels that "no son of his" being likely to succeed him, he has but a life interest in this Egyptian farm, and that a rack-rent, which wrings the last miserable panos from tha . felloh, is likely to produce, more dollars in a given time, than a less grinding lease, which might let the cultivators live. The pro duce of cotton is, therefore, very uncertain. So infa mous a system, the most oppressive that ever harassed this country, cannot long endure. In the hands et a European Power, Egypt would become the most valuable and ricLest country in the world. Indigo, silk, and opium, are making rapid progress. It is only four years since cotton was produced here. The fi st year gave GO bags; the second, 50,009; the third„ 120,000; and the fourth, 160,000—50 that the entire 'produce annually may b? recel ned at on.-third of the consumption of which is 600,000 bags a year, and France 200,000. Th;s year cotton ileitis the Pacha a revenue of a million and a half. The bare rise on the ax icle, within t h e last Spur month', of from seven to fifteen pounds, makes a difference to him of half a million. New Woeons.—The time has :arrived when America is to lose the name of New World. There is a newer world than America, whose name is not as yet fixed.— It is variously called Australasia, Oceanica k and Poly nesia. The fifth part of the globe is composed of New Holland and New Zealand ; of New Caledonia and the Hebrides, of the New Philippines ; of Van Diemen's Land, the Solomon Isles, the Friendly Isles, Navigators Land, the Society Islands, the Low Islands, and all the islands of the immense Archipelago .of the Pa cific Ocean. ANTIPAT:r ES AND FEARS.—The celehrate3 Marquis de la Roche Jacqueline, though he stood undaunted in the field of slaughter, always tremble,' and turned pale at the sight of a harmless squirrel. The Cardinals Con dona and Cavassa, and a Venetian Nobleman of the fa mily of Barbaragi, as well as Lady Heneage, one of , the maids of honour to Queen Elizabeth, invariably swoz.ned at the sight of a rose. A family of rank, resi dent in Aquitaine, had such an antipathy to apples, that at sight of that fruit their noses would bleed profusely. The Edinburgh Observer says- 0 The new rlanet Herschel is now visible in the evening, a little west of the meridian. A glass of small magnifying power it, more proper for shewing it than a more powerful one. It is not visible till 11, sometimes till If hours after sunset. It may be seen till the 9;h of N•ivember, but owing to the state of the atmosphere in this latitude, favqurable opportunities for observing it will not be frequent." POLICE INrs4Liat VCE. ' GUI LDIIALL. Zahn Berko& was charged by the watch inspector of St. Sepul chi as, with exercising his worldly calling on the Sabbath, by selling -meat pies and ginger beer, at two - o'clock in the morning, in a shop in Cow-lane. The defendant pleaded that Cooks were allowed a It:tater latitude than other tradesmen. and as to a complaint that his house was frequented by loose and su-pected characters, he con sidored himself not in a situation to choose his customers. It world he bad policy indeed to refuse to serve one breads:. he had a rtTged coat, and another because she had too smart a gown. lie never suffered his customers to come farther than his counter, or to re main longer than while they were taking refreshment. Mr. Alderman THORTS dismissed the complaint, on tin, defen dant's paying costs, and promising to close his shop at the same hour as the pastry cooks in his neighbourhood. George pyribee, the driver of the Woolwich coach, No. 5203, was Ailed in the mitigated penalty of 10s. and c,sts, for obstructing the thoroughfare in the Old Bailey. The officer said, that on Wednesday last the driver had left his coach standing in the Old Riney, while he got his breakfast. The coach was sometimes left there fix an hour and a quar.er, and on Wednesday - last the coach was there above three quarters of an hour. 130 W STREET. Edtparel Tryiar, a young num about eighteen years of age, of gets teel appearance, was trought up on a charge of robbery com mitted on Saturday' morning, in a very daring Manner, in the Sa bloniere Hotel, Leicester-fields. A foreigner named Pedro de Ayacianio, a native of Mexico, stated th;,t be had been residing at the Sabloniere Hotel for the last week. He had a bed-room and private sitting-room there.' On Friday night he went to bed a little before 12 o'clock. On the table in his bed-room he placed his gold watch, seals, and chain, together with six sovereigns. On his table in the sitting-loom, which adjoined, was his opera glass. About five o'clock on Satur day morning, he was awakened by a noise in his room, and per ceived some tine retreating from the door, which was open. He immediately got up and gave the alarm. He did not see enough of the person in his room to be able to identify him. The property he valued at 304 Mr. Fagliano jun. stated, that the prisoner engaged a bed at the Sabloniere, which is kept by his father. on Friday night at nine o'clock; he came in and went to bed at twelve. He slept in the three pair. Mr. Ayaciamo lodged on the first floor, In conse quence of the alarm given by the latter, a constable was sent for, by whom two of the porters and their bores were searched. No thing bring found upon them, suspicion fell upon the prisoner. 'They accordingly went to his room, and requested he would allow himself to be searched, as a rubbery had been committed in the Hotel. He said he had no objection; he was willing to go to Bow -street, if necessary. Clements, the constable, stated that he found the gold watch be tween the mattress sad the prisaner's bed. The seals and gold chain were in one of the prisoner's coat-pockets, and the opera glass in the other. Only three sovereigns were found in his breaches pocket. He admitted this property was not his own, and said he was sorry for what he had done. He bad dropped three of the sovereigns in going up stairs. Mr. Ayacianto said he did not wish to prosecute, as he was about to Dave this country fur France. Mr. Almon'. told him that he could not have his property without prosecuting. The Mexican seemed to think it very bard that be could not h.tve his property when taken on the pet son of the thief. As there was good reason to believe that the prisoner in this case Is a person wham the pollee have long been on the look-out for, as engaged in similar depredations, he was remanded until Wednesday next, in order that an opportunity alight be al!owed for further charges to be lodged against him. shoemaker, and dirt spool to tip n Wino:id • Adds, Paderi. .on, and thee decide, for love; - winds we best oum.

LAMBETH BTRIMT. Saturday, a gang of thieves, named .Almooder Sainedere,MB ands, George Swarty, Bien Cartes, Nassteab Webber, and qtr Nato were brought up, charged with having committed a butgiart Ni robbery on the premises of John Hopkee, Esq. in Ratcliffldgli way.—Lee, the officer, stated, that having received informatirm of the robbery about four o'clock in the morning, be immediate!' proceeded to a house of bad character in George-yard, where' be found all the prisoners in bed, the men with their clothes en, ati* took the= into custody.

In Hanover, a merchant convicted of having removed his property to the prejudice of his el-editors, has beea sentenceJ to two years hard labour. Thiity.4x sheep were stolen from Mr. Dodd's lands at Ballymun, on S tturday. se'nnight.

Excise Lica/sta.—By an Act passed in 'the last Session of Parliament, relative to Excise Licensei, it is enacted, "That every person in the United Kingdom required by any law of-Excise, to make entry of his or her premises, to carry t n any trade or business for which an excise license is required, shall place, in letters visible and legible, at least one inch long, upon the entered premises, his or her name, at full length, and after such name the word licensed,' adding thereto the trade or business for which the license has been granted ; and if any such person shall not paint or fix such letters, as aforesaid, or shalt toot preserve snd keep the same so painted as often as necessity shall require, he or she shall forfeit, for every such offence, the sum of 201." The 6th of next January the Bank of Ireland tokens of all kinds cease to be a legal tender. Being then no longer upon a footing tvilh the coin of the realm, they will of course be worth nothing beyond their intrinsic value, and consequently they will suffer a depreciation of about thirty per cent. or three-pence in a ten-penny. It is understood that the Bank of Ireland is not bound to take them beyond that term. There are no toll-bars in Argyleshire. These is an annual charge upon every man keeping a horse of Br. and upon every householder of 45. to keep the roads in repair. They are in general kept in good condition. It is very remarkable, that among the thtrty•two So vereigns who have sat on the English throne since WILLIAM the Conqueror, although each of the eleven months have witnessed the accession of cne or more, the month of May has not been so fortunate, so one having ascended the throne within its limits.

Saturday, Mr. Bodkin, Secretary of the Mendicity Society, ac companied by some of the members of the Institutica, appeared to prefer a charge against a person of the name of Clarke, for obtaining money under false prenrces,by writing begging letters. Mr. Bodkin produced a letter written in the name of Clarke's wife to the Deke of Northumberland, picturing the deepest distress, representing het husband and one child out of six as in a dying state. Wm. Pig gott, the Duke's porter, deposed to his having been sent with five sovereigns to Mrs. Clarke, which he delivered to her at the house of Mr. Wood, in Seymour-street. Mr. Wood, the landlord of the house, deposed, that the statements contained in the letter produced were ail false. Clarke was at work at his trade (a tailor) at the time the letter was written, and on the night of the day the ses was received from the Duke of Northumberland, the most drunken re• velry took place antoesst Clarke, his wife, and their associates. Clarke denied any knowledge of the letter, and the Magistrates, not thinking the charge proved, discharged him. MABLBOBOUGH-STREET. Mace PLAZI.S.—Don Francis de Sales Blotto, charged with de frauding several pawnbrokers by pledging mock for real pearl, was re-examined this day. lie had agreed to repay the pawnbrokers, and Mr. ileulard, his employer, had :treed to advance the money to settle the business, during the week, and he expressed his indig nation that Blass* should have implicated him in the alleged frauds. Mr. Fleulard put Advertisements in the Morning and other Papers disclaiming having given authority to Blasco to say they were real pearls. Mr. Fleulard, however, did not appear accord ing to his promise, to pay the money. Blasco would have been committed, but for the intorferen:e of a Gentleman who had known him for eight years, and was personally acquainted with him when beheld a high and responsible situation in Spain, under the Liberal Government; and who stated that it was distress that had driven Blasco to commit the offence imputed to him, and - the Gentleman advanced a sum of money for the purpose of compromising the transaction. The Magistrate said, that as Blasco had kept his word, and attended from time to time, he would allow him to go at large for another week, and by that time he hoped he would be able to settle with the pawnbrokers. One Mr. Edwin (not Ilumpbry) Clinker, by trade a hair-dresser' and by locality a lodger in the house of Mr. Smith, a glass-cutter, in St. Andrew's -street, Seven Dials, was brought before the Ma gistrate on a peace -warrant, charged by his landlord as follows : Mr. Smith said, that he has had the misfortune to have had Mr. Clinker in the house for the twenty-five weeks last past, and he has had the stilhgreater misfortune not to have received one farthing of rent during the whole of that period from Mr. Clinker, notwith standMg that be has made repeated applications for the same in va rious shapes, and on the last occasion in the shape of a broker ; but on entering Mr. Clinker's apartment, be found that there was no thing for his broker to do, unless he seized one or two old wigs. Since this last visit, however, which betrayed the" nakedness of the land," Mr. Clinker has taken up quite a hostile position against hint (Mr. Smith), and has laid himself down sedulously to annoy him in every possible way, to the total neglect of every other occupationi even the shaving of the few customers be has. Mr. Clinker'S first step was to place in his shop-window a bust bearing a most hideous • resemblance to him (Mr. Smith), on the head of which be placed a still more hideous wig ; thereby hold ing: him up tattle laughter and ridiculli of the whole neighbourhood. But not satisfied with this, Mr. Clinker had placed a rope round the neck of this bust, with the noose placed exactly under the ear; thereby insinuating a very awkward exit to tbe original. Nor is ibis all; for Mr. pinker, not content with annoying Mr. Smith himself, hod also stirred ap his Muse to do so, and has actually composed a long string of verses exposing Mr. Smith ; and having got them printed, he employs a set of fellows to sing them about the neighbourhood, and exactly under his own window, occasionally apostrophising tbe bust, to whom they are chiegy addressed ; par. ticularly a dialogue introduced between each verse, as taking place between a landlord and his tenant. These proceedings, Mr. Mr. Smith said, collected such a mob about his door, that his life is made a burden to him; and unless something were done to expel Mr. Clinker altogether from the house, he (Mr. Smith) could not remain in it. Here Mr. Smith banded in a copy of Mr. Clinker's poetical effusion, regularly printed, and consisting of about a dozen stanzas, headed " A Landlord and his Tenant;" and a dialogue, as dc. scribed, between each two stanzas. It commences thus : " The landlords now lately so great they are grown, " If they have an old house that is fit to pull down ; " If you can't wake year rent op against quarter-day, " Then who looks so big or so stately as they ?" Mr. Clinker simpered and smiled the whole time, apparently mueb pleased at the recital of his ingenuity and poetic genius; and made no defence, - but that Mr. Smith was perpetually tormenting him for rent, and that the bust in the window was not at all like Mr. Smith. The Magistrate said, that Mr. Clinker's conduct was highly improper, and tended to urge Mr. Smith to commit a breach of the peace, and be must find bail. It was afterwards arranged that Mr. Clinker should quit the lodgings, and silence his Muse. MARY.LA-BONNE. Puottram.--Ned &echoes and Agnes Rainie, two of the Corps Pugilistic, were charged with committing a breach of the peace.
