V 1 q ow P . hi& Notesfroat a Traveller's Pockd•book. No.l. CEOR THE STAR]. The city of Bukhira* is nettily in the form of an ellipse, of which the greater axis, from north to south. is from one and a half to two miles ; but its breadth from east to west is not so great.- It i s su r rounded by a great mud wall, from twenty to twenty-four feet high, with a broad platform round the inside, and loop-holes at intervals. The streets are often so narrow, that two men can hardly pass; and a loaded camel reaches from side to side of the widest streets. Houses of mud or bricks, one or two stories high, with flat roofs, low doors, and no windows to the street, make the town a picture of gloom and dreariness to an European who has never seen any Asiatic city before. On a lofty mound of clay, sixty feet high, and more,than a mile in circumference, stands the Erc, or citadel, in which the Kirin resides. The palace is decorated with glazed tiles and Arabic inscriptions, and surrounded by huts for slaves and attendants. Two minarets mark the en trance to the Royal abode ; and many others ornament the city ; from the highest of them criminals condemned to death for great enormities, are thrown headlong. The bodies of all persons executed, and the heads of enemies, are exposed for three days in the Rigistein, the only open area in the town ; and consequently the place of the green-market and the shambles. The horrible state of its atmosphere in warm weather, may be more easily conceived than described. Many canals, called rid, traverse the city; those which divide the fields in the country are termed arik. Many reservoirs, enclosed with free-stone walls formed into steps, are filled from these canals. They supply the inhabitants with water for all domestic purposes, and are emptied out and re plenished twice every month. The number of Mosques amount to 360, and the Medresehs, or colleges, are 285. They are endowed with lands and houses, managed by a governor named by the Khan. The baths are commonly open every day; but the lapidarys and slave biza , •, only twice a week. All is bustle, noise, and confusion in the markets ; and at every step one hears such exclamations as these, Hell ! if thou be a Mussulman, let me have it for so much ! if thou be a Mussulman, how canst thou offer so little ? The slave markets are principally supplied by the Turkmaos, who continually make incursions into the Persian provinces, and carry off thousands of those heretics, the followers of Ale, to atone for their heresy, by labouring in the service of the orthodox Mussul mans in the North. Of all the trades followed here, none is more abundantly supplied than that of medi cine; almost every student gives prescriptions, and there are innumerable druggists in the Uzi's; but as the fee is only a t?nga, or about sixpence of our money, medi cine is not a profession which soon makes a man rich at Bukhar a. The inhabitants, in general, are among the basest and most corrupt on the face of the earth, slaves to fanati cism and a soi did love of gain ; they are entirely ab sorbed by a minute attention to the outward ceremonies of their religion, and a continual struggle to ascertain who can circumvent and defraud most adroitly. Tne moral precepts of the Kotin are entirely disregarded; and excesses the most odious a!4 disgusting, are more openly indulged than in any other Mussulman country. The reigning sovereign is a genuine fanatic, and a con summate hypocrite, who gives lectures on the Kota,),. and assumes the airs of a saint, while he makes no scruple to violate every law human or divine. The government, as in most Mohammedan State!, is despotic. A vigilant police is maintained, or rather a sort of open espionage; but punishment may be always evaded by bribes; and offenders are never seized, un• less private pique, or an interested doticeur atts as a stimulus on the officers of justice. This is supposed to be the native country of the camel ; and a large shaggy vatiety, called Luk, is very remarkable, which has the singular property of blowing a large' bladder out of its mouth, when it utters a cry or is m eary. A fine breed of horses, similar to the Khorisanis, so much esteemed in Persia, is peculiar to this country the asses, for number and variety, exceed all belief. Sheep and cows are scarce, through want of fodder, and an indifference to milk on the part of the Bucharians. CATERPILLAR CLOTH. The following discovery has been announced at Mu nich :—Lieutenant Hebenstreit has invented a process by ' , which he makes a species of caterpillar spin a kind of wadding which is of a fine white colour, and water-proof. Ile made a baboon of this stuff, and raised it by means of a chafing-dish, with spirits of wine, in thelarge ware house, where he keeps his caterpillars at work. He makes them trace ciphers and figures in the wadding. He accomplishes this by moistening outlines of figures or letters with spirits of wine. The caterpillars avoid these tracings, and spin their web around them. Thus ! any fine figure which has been drawn is represented in the stuff. A piece of wadding, seven feet square, per fectly pure, and as brilliant as taffeta,• was made by about fifty caterpillars, between the sth and 26th of June. NEW SHIPPING FLOAT. Mr. Matthew Robertson, of Glasgow, has contrived a float, similar in principle to those used by the Dutch, for enabling a loaded ship to pass up and down rivers whose depth is not equal to her usual draught of water. It consists of a decked flat-bottomed boat, twice or thrice the size of the ship, with an opening in the mid dle large enough to receive her. This flat boat is formei in two pieces, which are united by a strong hinge at the prow, and a strong clasp at the stern. The clasp being loosened, the two sides of the boat are made to diverge; die ship sails into the open space in the middle ; after which the sides are again closed, and fastened. Four strong chains (more it necessary) are then passed across under the ship's bottom, and attached to screws fixed to the deck of the float ; the screws are then worked by wheels and pinions, the chains are shortened, and the vessel is gradually raised by transferring the pressure to the float. The weight of the vessel is thus diffused over a surface twice, or if need be, thrice the size of her own hull, and of course the draught of water is propor tionably diminished. • It may thus be effected, that a ship, drawing sixteen Piet of water, being raised nine feet by the chains, shin depress the float three feet, and so her actual draught will be reduced to ten feet. • The state of Buthiriii: one of three which form the Province of Great Bocbaria, which es between the parallels of 35 and 44 North Ist. and extends from 10 to 72 East long. A YORKSHIRE BULL.--The annual conference of the Methodists, which occurs only once in six years, is this year to be held in Leeds.—York Copra*. SURREY SESSIONS, JULY • ! Mr. Lewis Moses, a person of the Jewish persuasico, and of apparently great respectability, was indicted for feloniously stealing from Mr. Henry Gompertz, five sovereigns. Mr. MANOLES opened the case for the prosecution. Mr. Henry Gompertz was called, and examined by Mr. Musicale, the prisoner's Counsel, as to his reli gious creed. He stated, he was formerly a Jew, but was baptized some years ago, and is now a member of the Protestant Church. Mr. Gompertz then deposed as follows :—I was, until lately, a Gentleman Pensioner to' his Majesty, but both before and since I carried on busi ness as a merchant, and have had commercial dealings with the prisoner, also a merchant. On the 12th of June, I called on the prisoner, at his residence, in New ington Causeway, up two pair of stairs, and after some desultory conversation, in which our balance did not agree, I received a violent blow with a poker from the prisoner, between my shoulders; I jumped up, and caught a second blow (aimed at my head) on my arm, by which I was badly wounjed ; a noise took place, and the prisoner's wife and servant came into the room ; I was then endeavouring to escape, but by their entrea ties I sat down again, and the prisoner's wife and ser vant left the room, thinking we were friends; the pri soner then locked the door, and put the key in his pocket; he then went to the closet, and secreted about him what I considered to have been a knife, but I did not see it; he again took up the poker, brandished it about, and used - a number of opprobrious epithets, and demanded 20/. or he would rip me up. I told him I bad not 201. but whatever I had, he should have. Ile ordered me to empty on the table what money I had got, which I did; there were fi.e sovereigns and some silver; he swore he would have 201. or my life. Ile ob served my watch and appendages, which he said would pawn for 151. and I assented to it, and o tiered to ac company him to a pawnbroker, but he refused to let me leave the room. During this time he got a bottle of spirits out of a closet, and drank two or three glasses, observing that he took them to give him nerve to go through with the attack, and that he would ei:her have money or revenge. The servant was called up, but after some conversation between them in the Hebrew language, which I do not understand, the design of pawning was abandoned ; the servant left the room, and the door was again locked ; the prisoner at that time had the five sovereigns, but did not keep the silver. I had some bills of lading, which he said he would have instead of the remaining 151. and 1 gave them to him. I was all the time in a violent flurry and fear: at the prisoner's wife's request, and on purpose that he might let me go, I said I would not say anything about what had occurred, and I shook hands with him ; he then un locked the door, and set me at liberty. Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGEIL—I have been ac quainted with the prisoner four years, when I was in the Rules of the King's Bench, and I then had some deal ings with him. I did not tell him I was a diamond merchant. I won': swear I did not tell him so. I was indebted to him in some sum; I gave him a draught for 251. on my bankers, in Berners-street, which was dis honoured; it was an accommodation draught. I wrote a letter to him, requesting hint not to present the draught for p tymenr, as it would injure me; 1 owe him no balance of 70'. I did not request him to draw on flue for two sums of 351. each as the balance, but to accom modate him. I then lived at Carshalton, but removed from thence before they were due, and went to Tooting; my goods were sold by the Sheriff: On the 12th of June I called to see Mr. Trayer, who resides in the same house as the prisoner; and while there, I sent to the latter to know if he wished to see me? I owe Traver probably 3001. and piiid him that day .51. I did not tell Trayer that the reason why I could only pay him 51. was because I had to pay the prisoner some money ; I did not offer to pay the prisoner the five sove:eigns. I did not ask for the loan of 5 )1. on the bill of lading ; the bill of lading was not a forged one for a che,t of indigo bought seven years ago at lid. per pound. Mr. TIIEbSIGER.—How much did it cost per pound? Prosecutor.—l appeal to the Court whether I am bound to an swer that question? The CHAIRMAN (R. Hedger, Esq ) said the question could not be material to the case. Prosecutor.-1 do not know who " Henry Coombe" at the foot of the bill of lading is on my oath it is not my writing. I made no noise in the house to give any alarm, although several persons were in different rooms. I saw Mr. Trayer when I came down, but I did not tell him I had been rubbed of five sovereigns. I told him we had had a quarrel, but w e had male it up and were friends. At the Police-office, I did not say I had been robbed of 3004 but I might have said the bill of lading was worth between 2001. and 3001. Tile Magistrate (Mr. Swabey) would not grant a warrant for felony, but recommended the milder course of indicting for the assault ; I did not appear to suppoit the charge of assault, but preferred the bill for felony before the Gr and Jury. The prisoner was bailed on affidavits in the Court of king's Bench. The endorsement on the back of one of the bills of exchange of the prisoner's having received .51. on account from ,me, was not written in my presence. I have been a bankrupt three times; the last time my name appeared in the Gazelle was last Satur day ; Ido not know whether any, or what, dividend has been paid to my creditors on account of the two former bankruptcies. I have been tried in a Court of Justice on one occasion. • Teesucee.—Wlien and where were you tried? Mr. MeNoLes told the prosecutor he need not answer unless be pleased. Mr. THESSIGER quoted several cases to prove the witness was bound to answer that question. In thecase of " Frost v. Holloway," Mr. Scarlett asked a witness whether he was not tried at Reading; the witness ap pealed to the Judge whether he was bound to answer; and Lord Ellenborough said he would commit him if he did not answer that question, but he was not bound to say whether he was found guilty or not. CHA InwAr.—Well, go on, it is the shortest way. Mr. THISSIGER--Good Gon! Sir, it is ■ot because it is the shortest way that I take it ; I will not accept it as a bonus or matter of favour : but I claim it as a right. CISAIRMA N.—Well, well, proceed. Prosecutor.--I was tried at the Old Bailey three years ago, for obtaining goods under false pretences, but was acquitted from a flaw in the indictment. I was also indicted fur a conspiracy to obtain 36 bags of wool from a Mr. Ascalous, but that prosecution was dropped; I however pleaded to it, " Not Guilty." Alexander Gompertz, the prosecutor's brother, de posed to the prosecutor's arm being in a lacerated state from the effect of a blow. Cross-examined.—Witness offered on his own risk, 15s. in the pound to the prisoner to pay off the two bills of 35/. each. Mrs. Julia Jacobs stated, that the prisoner called on her on the evening of the 12th of June, and in conver sation about the prosecutor, he laughed ) and said he was sorry he did not have his life. Mr. TUMOUR submitted there was no case of felon? to go to a Jury. Mr. MANGLU contended there was abundant ett denceof a parting with money under the fear of menaces and threats, which was sufficient proof of a robbery having been committed; there were two kinds of lar cenies—one in fact, and one in law; and this was of the latter description, or constructive larceny. Russell on Crimes and Misdemeanors, page 991 :—" If a thief stops a man, and that man has no money about him, but even goes under the influence of threats and me naces, and brings the money to the thief, it is as much a robbery as if the thief had with his own hand taken the money from the man's pocket." This was an uni. versal principle, and was sufficiently established in this case, for Mr. Gompertz was induced by violent treat ment and horrid threats to deliver his money to the prisoner, and therefore there was a parting with pro perty Against the will. Mr. THESSIGER contended that the principle of his Learned Friend was a very erroneous one; fur by that, every creditor who went to an unwilling debtor would be liable to be tried as a felon if the debtor did not part with his money willingly : whatever proof there might be of an assault, there certainly was none of a felony. The CHAIRMAN said there was certainly no case fora Jury, because there did not appear any felonious in tention : it appeared that an assault had been com mitted ; but there was nothing like a felony either by construction or in fact. Dr. Edwards (who was also on the bench) said he per fectly coincided with the Chairman in his observations. —The Jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was instantly discharged, and on his leaving the Court he was congratulated by his numerous friends, some of whom are anions the leading monied party in the City. The trial lasted above four hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M SION-HOUSF. Yesterday three men were charged with having feloniously en tered the premises of a wine and spirit-merchant, in Idol-lane, and stolen a quantity of spirits. A boy in the service of the wine merch.int was charged on suspicion of being an accessary before the fact, and a man was charged with him nn suspicion of having /seen an accessary after the fact. The premises that were entered adjoin those of Mr. Nettleton], a Gentleman of respectability, who .stated, that during Service time on Sunday last his servant came to him in great alarm, stating that she had seen a suspicious man enter Mr. Wagstaff 's premises, and that she was sure there were others, there. Witness went, knocked at the door, end demanded to know who is - as inside? a voice answered, that it was only Mr. Wagstaff's servant. Witness knew by the voice it was not true, and made them open the door, when he perceived three of the prisoners, one of whom, to assure him that they were authorised to enter the pre mises, produced a key which opened the door. Preparations had been made for the removal of some of the liquors in the cellars, and witness thought it nece::siry to send for an officer. He had three messengers abroad during three-quarters of an hour in search of one, but-several who were found excused themselves from coming —one saying that he was indisposed; another, that he had other business to attend to; and a third, that it was nut in his district. During this time witness was by no means in a pleasant situat.:•n, as he was almost in the power of the three, who began to gain reso lution from the nen-appearance of the officers sent for, and had the constable who came been later, a desperate contest would perhaps have taken place.—On Monday morning, NlnWagstaffl'a boy, and a man who accompanied him, were apprehended as they were going to the warehouse with a quantity of bottles, with which it was sus pected they intended to carry off some of the liquors on the pre mises: The boy admitted he knew the three men found on the premises, and stated, that he met them sonic evenings since at the Theatre, when they persu,,ded him to sleep with them. In the mon iog he missed his key of the premises, and sooner than risk being discharged by acknowledging that fact, he got another key made. The key with which the prisoners had entered the premises was that he had lost. On being questioned, he could give no satis factory account of the bottles.—The defence of one of the prisoners found on the premises was, that the boy had given him the key, and appointed to meet him there. The other two passed acciden tally, and were invited to join the party, and take a little of some thing to drink.—Mr. Wagstaff said a quantity of spirits had been removed; but on his cross-examination by Mr. Isaacs, who ap peared as Solicitor fur three of the prisoners, he could not swear that it most have been removed on Sunday morning. The Loan blavoa remanded all the prisoners. 130 W-STREET. A young man of the name of Last was brought before Mr. 111 x x 0:I suspicion of having stolen, or rather embezzled, a pony, the property of en elderly French Lady of the name of Morville, now residing in France. _ The complainant was a Mr. Maudiut, the principal manager of the Foreign Coach Office, at Charing-cross; and from his state ment, it appeared that the defendant was an under clerk in the same office. Some months since Madame Morville left this country for France, and having, as she said, a pony which had fur many years been kept by her, requested the complainant to take care of it, as she fancied she was unable to export him. The complainant being desirous of obliging Madame Morville, sent Last to Dover, to bring up the animal, who, instead of finding a fresh young stal lion, found a poor little animal, only fit for the knacker. The defendant asked him how he could think of bringing such an animal seventy-three miles, and that it ought to be shot ? He was determined, however, to take care of it, and while be..itating where to place it, the defendant said he would take care of it for three shillings per week; this was agreed to. In the meantime, Madame Morville wrote to blr. Maudiut, desiring that the animal should not be shot, but that he should immediately be sent over to Calais. In vain the defendant was then applied to, the pony could not be recovered, and it was at length ascertained that he had been sold in Smithfield for thirty-flee shillings.—The defence was, that the pony was not sold, but given away to a man named Turks, and he was called to prove that such was the case.—Finally, the defendant was discharged, but so determined was M.Maadiut to comply with Madame Alorville's request, that he agreed to give the purchaser £3 for the pony, to restore him to his fond mistress. CHARGE or FORGLRY.—Michael Moore, a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, was charged with forging receipts to the amount of one hundred and one pounds, with intent to defraud his Majesty. It appeared, that, from the year 1818 to 1821, the pri soner was Captain's Clerk on board his Majesty's ship Liverpool, on a foreign station, and during that period, the Purser of the ship died, and the prisoner was appointed acting purser. It is the prac tice in the Navy, when the seamen misconduct themselves, to stop their grog, or a portion of their provisions, but they are not en tirely deprived of it, an allowance being afterwards made to them in money, which it is the duty of the Purser to pay. Each mess appoints a receiver of this money, and the Purser enters the sums in a sheet list, and each receiver signs it. The charge against the prisoner was, that he had returned a list to the Admiralty, amount ing to £lOl which he had never paid, and that he had forged the signatures or marks of the different seamen, who, he said, had re ceived the sums charged. The prisoner said it was a mistake, and that an additional duty was imposed on him after the Purser's death.—He was remanded. ItIARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. DIMLING AND HORSZWHIPTINCL—Yesterday, towards the conclu sion of the business of this Office, two young Gentlemen, fashion ably dressed, were observed slowly approaching the office entrance, and were quickly followed by two others of equally elegant exterior, one of whom commenced the Smart application of a horsewhip to the shoulders of one of the two who had preceded him. The as. saulted Gentleman instantly turned upon the assaulter, and attacked him with great quickness and determination with a small bamboo cane ; but at the same time the Gentleman coolly and forcibly ap. plied his horsewhip, and indeed it would be difficult to say who had the best of the bout, as an officer rushed between them, and con ducted them into the office, where, in the agitation or irritation such a circumstance occasions, they were unsparing in the exercise of vi. tuperative language, the term coward being applied more than once to the Gentleman who used the bamboo cane. Edward Dix Pittman, Es .of Lincoln's Inn, the Gentleman who had used the horsewhip, and Thomas Dex, Esq. were placed at the bar, the former as defendant, and the la tter complainant. The charge was for provoking Mr. W. Dex to fight a duel ; but as the particulars were rather delicate to detail, their recital was spared. Mr. De: then confined himself to the before-mentioned assault, which'he described as having been done in a cowardly manner. He had received a letter from Mr. Pittman containing a challenge, and wishing to avoid any further annoyance, he had adopted the present course, and handed in three or four letters, the last of which con tained the challenge. Mr. Plttmo add; the ecodeet of Mr. thrsAltio gross, that he; in the outraged state of hii feelings, could only aiiratterist him as a blaelignard, for which he bad horsewhipped him. If it was re. quired, he would explain the nature of the insult. It was first of. freed to his The Magistrate would not admit of any discussion extraneous to the subject, and asked hin t if he admitted writing the l e tt ers ? Mr. Pittman—l do, Sir, and fully believe their contents to be true. The rascal had attempted to borrow-- Mr. Dee said he was sorry he did not accept the invitation. The. Magistrate then called on Mr. Pittman to find sureties to keep the peace; whith he said he would Immediately do. Mr. Dex left the office by another door. ANION HALL +. Samuel Dawes,' a coachman bf James Brogden, Esq. M.P. was brought before L. B. Au.tes, Esq. charged with having assaulted a toll-collector of the Surrey New-road Trust. Mr. Brogden attended as a witness. Oliver Smith, toll-collector at the Vauxhall Gate, stated, that nn Monday night, at a little after eleven o'clock,a carriage drove up to the gate; the coachman called out 73. Witness replied, that wr,„ki not do, 48 being the number of the day. Witness seeing that the defendant was not inclined to stop, ran towards the heads of the horses, when the Gentleman standing there (pointing to Mr. Brog den) immediately let down the carriage window, put his bead out, and called to the coachman to " Drive on, drive on." Witness still remained at the head of the horses. The coachman,on receiving the order from his master, did attempt to drive on, and in his (wit , ness's) endeavour to prevent the evading of the toll, or obtaining the right number of the day-ticket, he received some severe lashes on the head and face from the defendant, who continued to use the whip, although he saw the blood flowing down the witness's face from the`effects of it. The witness added, that he held the horses until he ascertained that the carriage belonged to James Brogden, Esq. of Clapham. Several witnesses deposed to the circumstances of the assault, and that Mr. Brogden called out to the coachman—" Drive on ; drive l over him." Mr. Brogden said, he was convinced the toll-keeper must have known it was his carriage ; his (Mr. Brogden's) carriage was in the constant habit of passing through the Vauxhall Gate, backwards and forwards to Clapham every day, and the complainant must have been apprised of the fact. He did not use the language " drive over him," as imputed to him. The footman was then examined, who admitted that he had called out the wrong number of the ticket. ' Mr. Actin , : observed, that a clear case of assault had been made out against the defendant. Mr. Ilrogden appeared surprised at this decision.—The defend. ant was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and costs for the obstruc tion, and the parties left the Office. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Parsons, a young fellow ha►ing the appearance of a countryman, was charged with being concerned with two other men, not yet in custody, in committing a mo!t daring highway robbery. Mr. Shatlock, the country traveller for the house of a respectable silversmith in Holborn, stated, that on last Tuesday fortnight, he was coming from Sydenhatn to London, and passing up Forest-hill, he was stopped by three men dressed as countrymen, who had a little dog with them ; the foremost of them knocked him doss :F, and beat him with great violence, and took from him silver articl s value about £6O; there were amongst the goods about £lB worth of silver thimbles. He had given a description of the rubbers to the officers, Rice and Grossraith. Rice and Grossmith being examined, stated that they had re ceived a description from the prosecutor of the patties who had committed the robbery, and they had twice been dowaa to Syden ham, Forest-hill, and that neighbourhood, to endeavour to find oat the thieves, and they took the prisoner into custody, after receiving strong evidence to satisfy them that he was one of the party ; is addition to which, his dress and person corresponded with one of the robbers, as described to them by the prosecutor. Mr. Shatlock now looked at the prisoner, and said, " That is the man who came up to me first, and knocked me down."—The pri soner denied that he was one of the robbers.—He was committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two men, named Bird and Hawkins, were charged at this Office, before Mr. Rog, the Magistrate, with 'having broken into a•al robbed the stables of Mr. Collins, one of the Magistrates of the County, residing at Wood Parm, Middlesex. Bird, seeing a great body of evidence against him, said, the it was useless any longer to deny the fact, and acknowledged that had, with the other two, committed the robbery at stated. Mr. Collins identified the property produced as belonging to him; and under ail the circumstances, Mr. Roe fully committtd gird for trial; but admitted Hawkins as a witness for the Crown, and had him bound over to give evidence for the prosecution. . A warrant was issued for the apprehension of Hammond, who has absconded. A dreadful oecurience took place in Maidstone, on Tuesday last. An over-driven cow ran into the yard of Mr. Cutbush, carpenter, from whence an elderly man attempted to drive her. The enraged animal ran at him ; and he, in . endeavouting to escape, fell into a saw pi:. There the cow fell upon him, and so dreadfully injured him, that he shortly after expired. It was found necessary to shoot the cow befOte the unfortu n ite man could be extricated. MARRIED.
