Captafis Fe& .11 1 Donogh and Henry Druid otherwise Harry Jones (the former of whom is the avowed author of a work that bas ex cited very general attention, entitled The Hermit in London), were pte to the bar on an indictment charging them with stealing, on the 50th of June last, from the person of Mr. Thomas Weaver, a pocket-book containing money to the amount of at least £lOO. From the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, it ap peared that the parties met at the Saloon, in Piccadilly, where, in the course of conservation Jones pointed out the Captain as the Aathor of the Hermit in Lintdon, and the coniequence was, that the prosecutor invited them to take a glass of wine. This was complied with, sod the result was, that the parties left the Saloon together in a coach, the two prisoners riding on the box. On Arriving at the Bell Inn, Holborn, the prosecutor found be had lost his watch. The prosecutor expressed a wish to return, but the prisoner Jones tried to persuade him to abstain from doing so, and eventually they were all taken to the watch-house as disorderl y, where, in the morning, the prosecutor found he had lost his pocket-book, and the property above named. The parties appeared before Alderman Thomesow, when the pocket book, with two letters, were found on the person of Druid. The prosecutor underwent a most severe cross-examination by lir. ALLEY; and on a question being put to him as to how he bad occupied his time? he suddenly dropped down in a fit. He soon recovered sufficiently to be able to walk out of Court. On his re turn his eroes-examination was proceeded with. lie admitted that he bad been in the company of some Ladies, among whom was Mary Ann Clarke; a person named Westbrook was also present. He retieed with Mary Ann Clarke, but he would no, iitively swear that he had his pocket-book after. Mary Ann Clarke again came into the room, and after having accused the pro s:cutor of treating her ungentlemanly, struck him on the nose. The prosecutor underwent a long examination, in the course of which some very material contradictions occurred. After Robert Edwards and Henry Hughes, the two watchmen, Dad been examined, Mr. lieresford, clerk to the Magistrates at Guildhall, produced the minutes of the evidence on the examina tion, by which it appeared, that Captain M'Donngh voluntarily pve his name and address ; and added, that the younger prisoner was as son. Others were examined, but their evidence was immaterial. Idr. Druid was then csilled on for his defence, when he solemnly protested his innocence—pointed out several inconsistencies in the evidence—said the whole party bad been involved in street broils by the prosecutor, who had, within the past month, been a bankrupt, and not likely to have so much money. With respect to the pocket-hook, he said, the prosecutor placed it in his coat, but with respect to its contents he solemnly called GOD to witueu he saw nothing of the money. Captain M'Donogh also made a very forcible appeal to the Jury, rad called witnesses to prove that the prosecutor bad given a wrong description of himself. One witness swore that he would not be teTe the prosecutor on his oath. Both prisoners received a most znesceptionab:e character. The Cannon S EaasattT summed up the evidence.—Verdict not =tamed when our paper went to press. IN THE OLD COURT.—(THIS DAY.) 11e George Palmer, solicitor, and bis clerk, Hider, stood in. Cued, the former with subornation of perjury, and the latter, with vilfal and corrupt perjury. Nr. Axnaews stated the ease to the Jury, and hr. /bonnier immediately put in the original writ.—The facts efthe case were, that a writ had been issued against a Gentleman named Baker, tut by some mistake, the date appeared 1801, W end of 1824, which was copied by the clerk, who, on making the service, swore he had served a true copy. Mr. Baker did not appear, and the Learned Judge requested, that far public justice, it might be made generally known, that in f u ture if prosecutors and witnesses did not appear, their recognizance% would be entreated; and that in future no case would be put off ulna strong grounds were shewn for so doirg. The verdict of course woman acquittal. TRIAL. OF W. R. ROBINSON. On the conclusion of the fourth Trial, which we gave in the STAR of yesterday, it was understood that the other cases which stood against him would not be pressed, and another prisoner was about to be given in charge, when Mr. Veck, who had preferred a bill of indictment against Mr. Robinsont sed t fur stealing some he Court. " I übnood stood un d erst and , m up y in the i; witness-bo x ,dheithat the and addre the prisoner is gone from the dock, and that it is not intended that the other cases against him should be proceeded with. I hope, my Lord, you will allow my case to come on, for I shall be able to prove his innocence with more certainty, or put his guilt of that with which I charge him beyond all doubt." The Junes (addressing himself to the prisoner's Counsel)—l ap rehend that the prosecutor has a right to proceed if he pleases? Mr. ANDOEWS said he had no objection to proceed, provided his Witnesses had not left the Court. He believed they had been sent away, in the expectation that the other charges would not be pressed. On inquiry it was found that the witnesses had not gone, and The prisoner was once more plated at the bar. The indictment on which he was given in charge, charged him with stealing four books, value 141. the property of ThumasVeck. Mr.Veck, before be began his statement, begged that the prisoner r:zht be ordered to put on his hat. The Judge said, that such a request could only be made for, the rtpose of establishing more certainly the identity of the prisoner; but that the proper moment had not yet arrived for that. Witness then staled I am a bookseller, residing in Tavistock row, Covent-garden. I know the prisoner. He came to my shop an Thursday,the 29th April, and asked for the four books which be said he had previously ordered from the boy. He said, if they were unready be would call again in the course of the evening. I came into the shop, being called by the boy. He then asked me for the kw boob. I said I had not the books in the shop; but I would send for them to another shop. I then gave the lad Bs. and sent him for Gem. After an absence of about ten minutes, the boy came back *more money. I gore it to bun, and he went again, and was ab sent about the same length of time. He then pointed out some look in the window, which be said he wanted. I put aside the glass case, and whilst doing so, I saw him very deliberately walk ing out of the shop. I was astonished, as from his appearance I had no suspicion of hint. I immediately missed the four books. I ran into Covent Garden-market, but did not see him. I went to several places in search of him, but without effect. When in my Grip, he was dressed in a dark olive, or puce-coloured frock coat, and light trowsers—l think woollen cloth. The June's here observed, that this was the time when it might be proper for the prisoner to put on his hat. The hat was accord oily sent for, and the prisoner put it on. Witness (looking at the prisoner)—l ant still positive that the risoner is the man who came into my shop; bat his liair appears ssnewhat darker, as if it had been oiled since. Cross-examined by Mr. Anzinsws—l never said I should still believe the prisoner to be thesnan though fifty Juries should acquit bins. I said, if fifty persons should swear to his innocence, I should still have my own impression. I never said-if 50,000 persons were to swear to , his innocence, I would not believe them. I never said to Mr. Clarke. Mr. Clarke was here confronted with the witness, and stated that be had heard him say so. 'fLe Jury now stated that they bad made up their minds, and re taued a verdict of Net Guilty. Justice Gasates.—Gentlemen, I entirely concur in your verdsk!,but I must observe, that if there were no other circum- SWl , :ei in the ease, the difference of dress in which he was said to have appeared would not be a sufficient ground for his acquittal; because it would not be at all improbable, that a person going about to rob, as it is clear some person has done in the case stated here, would provide himself with a variety of dresses to avoid deteetion. But there are other and stronger circumstances in those cases in the prisoner's favour. It is certain that some person bas been going about the town committing robberies, and that be is so like the pri soner as that one may be mistaken for the other. Another indictment now remained against the prisoner for steal mg a watch, value Soh. and the prosecutor (Mr. Hed worth) aps pared in the witness.box. The Juoe observed that under all the circumstances, be did not t` ale he ought to allow the cases to go farther. The prosecutor was asked whether he wished to press the cabs? lie replied that he was satisfied with the decisions already tome to, aud would not press his case. The prisoner, after receiving the congratulations of several of his friends, bowed and retired from the dock. During the whole of the proteedistp his manner was perfectly easy and uneinbarrassed. The Court was much crowded through out the trod. • - • 14 watch between Shelton and Langan is said to be se t: il l ton' 71,1.1.ec of the latter re q uirin g more tints pirdolll te that litntt.h inclined 10 ar.rvr• THE ARMY.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 19. JOHN BULL.SHACKELL V. MACAULAY. The Lox!) CIIANCELLOR, after hearing further argu ments in this case, declared his intention to grant the commission prayed for by Shackell for the examination of witnesses abroad, and an injunction on Mr. Macaulay to answer such questions relative to the alleged trans actions as might not involve criminality or moral tur pitude.—Demurrers dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 19. NICHOLSON V. NASSAU. This action was brought by Miss Mary Nicholson against William Nassau, for breach of promise of mar riage. It was admitted the promise had been given and broken, therefore the Jury had only to say what com pensation the young woman was entitled :o receive from the defendant. The situation of Miss Nicholson had been extremely respectable, but her family having been reduced, she went to live as bar-maid at the Castle, Salt Hill. She was without fortune, and was placed under the respect able protection of Mrs. Cecil. It appeared that Mr. Nassau came to the Inn, in 1822, and remained there four or five months. Mts. Cecil, who keeps the Castle Inn, described him to be a Gentleman of the best manners. He always dined with the family. He expressed his intention of paying his addresses to Miss Nicholson, and having made honourable proposals, prevailed upon her to leave the Castle and proceed to London. She went to the house of her sister to wait for the wedding day. She was twenty-four, and the defendant thirty-tour. After a number of letters, declaring in the most affectionate terms that he could nut be happy without her, the wedding was fixed for April, 1823. Some time, how ever, before that month, the defendant Woke it off by proposing to send a friend to enter into terms with her, and postpone the ceremony till he was in better health. For this breach, which had destroyed the prospects of the plaintiff, she sought a compensation in damages. The defendant's hand-writing having been proved, several letters were read ; they afforded considerable amusement, but we have only room for a few passages. In all the letters he addresses her as " his dearest Mary," or " Love"—" Fur your ready acquiescence to my wishes, our interests are henceforth inseparable"— " A husband and wife should be unreserved to one another; their souls should be so blended as to be one happy —." The scene shifts, and he says—" An evil spirit, in the shape of a Lady's Maid, has interrupted our course."— "My dear Mary, I have used you most cruelly ill; no reparation in the world can make you amends.' The next letter was written in pencil ; but some peo ple would excuse that circumstance for the sake of the contents ; it was dated at . " 41, Bater-street, Portman-square. "MyDU am Lava—l have wade my will, and given all my pro- perry to Mary Ann, Bar-maid, Castle Inn, Salt HilL" In another letter, speaking of a change in his circum stances, and the expenses of Doctors bills, be says, " After our union"—and then, " I think if we do not get married before the middle of April, we shall not have much to commence housekeeping w ith"—(Loud laughter.) " Now is the time to make the most of it, while you are single; when you are married you will have to amuse me"—( Continued Laughter.) " I know you are fOnd of a joke ; I do like cheerfulness, and we shall often joke together"—( Laughter ). "I had yes terday a good stiff conversation with the old Lady (his mother.) Adieu, and to conclude this Letter, as Cicero does one of his, Guadeo to valere—l with you good health"—( Laughter.) On her coming to town he made an effott to see het; which he thus describes—" The stimulation I had re course to yesterday in going to Charing Cross, has af , fected my health today. lam so infirm that I must defer marriage till after Easter"—(Bursts of laughter.) The concluding epistle winds up the affair—" I have been led to consider the subject of our union seriously and impartially, and I find so many obstacles in the way that I must".—ln short, break off the match " for her (1." He sent this last letter by his brother-in-law, Mr. James Butler, whom she was to consider as his woke in everything, and to return her answer accordingly. The Arroarrev-Getizant. described the defendant to be an unfortunate Gentleman; with whose habits the intiff was well acquainted. He had been attended by medical men. His income he had described to be abort 70CI. per annum ; which, however, had been re , dtr:ed to 4001. tie was of a different religious persua sion—a Roman Catholic, and his connections in life were all in a higher situation in life than the plaintiff. The Jury would say what loss this young woman could • have sustained by not marrying such a person.—The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501. - 041. 0.6111.10:•••01.,""t- VAUXHALL GARDENS. Lisi night the Proprietors of these Gardens, in hor nilur of the patronage of his Majesty, commemorated the anniversary of the Coronation by a grand fete, pre pared in a style suited to the occasion. It was said the, e were illuminated for this evening 14,500 additional lamps, and the blaze of beautiful and appropriate de vices, which glowed upon the eye in every direction, seemed to confirm the statement. There was certainly a greater magnificence of effect from the illumination than we remember to have seen on any former occasion during the season. The efforts of the Proprietors were not confined to the additional number of lamps, for new attractions appeared to have been imparted to the dif ferent entertainments for the night,the vocal and instru mental concerts were more numerous, and selected with attention to the object of the fete. Miss WITHAM and Miss WAITE were particularly applauded.. The fire works were very magnificent, and seemed to shoot forth " As if their fires were beams of coming day." The pantomimic performances, and the other amuse ments in the bill of fare for the evening, went off with Considerable eclat. The juggler and the rope dancing, the Pantoccini and the cosmoramas, furnished their several attractions, according to the respective tastes of the company ; and the spectators, who, availing them selves of the fineness of the weather, crowded to these gardens in unusual numbers last night, appeared every where to be occupied with the varied entertainments which were so amply provided for this fete. The at tendance, considering the advanced period of the season, was very fashionable; the crowd was indeed excessive throughout the evening, but the arrangements in the gardens were so provident, that very little inconvenience was felt from the pressure. IMPROVEMENT OF THE THAMES. Saturday, a Meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen from the City and the West-end of the town, met on board the state barge of the Merchant Tailors' Com pany, for the purpose of taking into consideration a plan for forming a quay to extend from London-bridge to Scotland-yard, and amongst the company on board were—the Duke and Duchess of RUTLAND, the Earl of ROSSLYN, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Lord PALMERSTON, the Earl of CA RYSFORT, the Honourable AGAR FLUB, the Right Honourable Wm. HUSKISSON, the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Alderman WOOD, Mr. Alder man GARRATT, Mr. Alderman Lucas, Mr. FAVELL, Mr. SLADE, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, the Marquis of LONDOJDERRY, S. LUSIIINGTON, Esq. M.P. J. laviso, Esq.M.P.— GRANT, Esq. M.P. WM. LEAKE, Esq. M.P. J. litoes and WM. SAUNDERS, Esquires. About three o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of Yortic came on board, and took the Chair. Lieutenant. Colonel Ta E Non, Member for Cambridge, then addressed the Meeting, and said, that the general outline of the project was to make a magnificent quay of communication from New London-bridgeto Scotland yard, thus connecting Chating•cross and Whitehall with the heart of the City, and affording to the inhabitants of both extremities, as well as those along the whole line, a healthful and beautiful promenade and carriage road on the banks of the river. The quay to be eighty feet wide, with a footpath on each side, to be separated by rows of trees and lamps from the carriage-road in the centre ; and in cases where commercial convenience required the accommodation of wharfage, a proper portion of the terrace to be railed off for that purpose, securing access for unloading without interfering Kith the communication. Though eighty feet were stated generally as a breadth desirable for so magnificent a ter race, yet both the breadth and height might vary ac cording to circumstances; it being desirable, that in car rying this great work into effect,public advantage should interfere as little as possible with private convenience. The whole of the. quay to be supported upon arches, with a bold projecting cornice and a simple balustrade. In pursuing this plan of explanation, Colonel Trench thought it best to refer in the first place to that part of it which was at this moment under the observation of the meeting. (The barge was moored half way between Scotland-yard and Waterloo-bridge.) He proposed to project a pier into the river from Scotland-yard, and from its extremity to carry a terrace on arches to the extremity of Waterloo-bridge, where there were now three arches of a store belonging to the Duchy of Lin • caster. This terrace would stand on arches twenty-five feet high, and be 110 feet broad, for the purpose of erecting houses, to combine profit with amusement. In fact,* would be a new street, of 2,000 feet in length, 70 feet in breadth in front of houses, which would be 40 feet, and of any extent of front that might suit the individuals 'proposing to build. The façade to be di vided into three buildings, with two intervals, on each of which might be placed a handsome fountain, and by using tide-mills to command a supply of water, they might be formed into jets Beau fifty or 60 feet high. For this and many valuable suggestions Colonel Trench was indebted to a distinguished Lady who sat on his Itcyal Highness's right hand (the Duchess of Rutland). He proposed to place in the centre an equestrian statue of the King; but he was aware that these ornamental circumstances were of minor importance, and he would hasten to state his views with regard to the first division of the projected measure. This terrace would be a fiat crescent. In executing Colonel Trench's directions, Mr. Philip Wyatt had a little exceeded them ; and it was but just and fair to point out the extreme importance of that operation which he (Colonel Trench) had at first been displeased with, as intolving an interference with private rights, and therefore likely to throiv obstacles in the way of a project which he had so much at heart. Mr. Wyatt took the Coburg Theatre as a centre, and with a radius of a thousand yards described an arch of a circle, which coincides generally with the banks of the river as proposed, but accurately with that part of it which is now under consideration—namely, the front of die proposed terrace crescent. This terrace would form one side of a basin or wet dock, containing eight or nine acres of water ; and if die mud were dredged out, and where gravel was riot now found, a good bottom should be made. The benefit conferred on the inhabitants of the present bank of the river was, that they might have any depth of water most convenient to them; at all times their property would be protected from rivet plunderers, and the barges be always at their own doors • they would get rid of fetid unwholesome mud whichannoyed them nine hours out of twelve, and by a simple police regulation, directing empty barges to move outside, three times the number of full ones might be accommodated. The curve established by this ter race would make the tide in this part of the liver %%bat Mr. Rennie called a perfect scouring machine. Colonel Trench then entered into further explanations of the nature of the plan—CA Gentleman wished to know from whom consent was necessary ?J—Colonel TRENCH replied, that they had to gain the consent of two impel _ -y -.. ~~..'.~~~~. r. ./11. , f• • - ••Mea:diairi, tint authorities—namely, of the Lord Mayor anal Cdr• poration of the City of London, as conservators of the navigation of the river, on the one side ; and the Admi ralty, as the representatives of the Crown, on the other. But the first object was that the plan should be investi gated by a Committee, and obtain their sanction; The LORD MAYOR suggested that a printed statement, explaining the nature or the plan, and stating the ex pense, should be circulated amongst the owners bf pre mises on the water side, and others who were practically acquainted with the navigation of the river. The Duke of Yoart highly approved of the suggestion of the Lord Mayor, that an explanation of the plan should be printed and circulated. The statement ap peared to him perfectly satisfactory. The Duke of RUTLAND rose, and said, that in com mon with every person present, he felt highly gratified by the project which had been so ably stated to them by Colonel Trench ; and feeling convinced that if it should be foond practicable, it would at once give to this city the character for splendour and magnificenie, to which, as the metropolis of this great empire, she was justly entitled among the capitals of the world, he would not further detain the Meeting, but as an earnest of his opinion, he now moved the first Resolution, which ex pressed the approval of the plan by the Meeting ; and their confidence, that if the difficulti, s attending it could be surmounted, it would add to the beauty and conve nience of the capital. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER seconded the motion, which was carried unanimothly; Lord RossLybr moved the Res, lotion for the appoint ment of a Committee, consisting of the folldwing mem bers, to investigate its practicability-- His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Rutland, his Royal Highness the Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wellington, Sir E. Lang, the Right Hon. T. Wallace; 11. Bankes, Esq. Right Hon. W. Huskisson, Sir James Mackinttish, Sir R. Inglis, J. Irving, Esq. Alex. Baring, Fsq. the Earl of Carysfort, the Earl of Roselyn, Lord Palmerston, the Right the Chancellor of the Exche quer, the lion. G Agar Ellis; Ridley Colborne, Esq. M.P. Hon. G. Cockburn, It. * esq. M.P. Sir H. Hardinge, M.P. Lord Lowther, Lord Gordon, LlTer•gool, Right Hon. R. Peel, the Earl of Har. rowby, Lord Berity, E. Giant, Esq. M.P. the Lord Mayor, Al derman Wood., Alderman Garratt, Alderman Thompson, R. Slade. Fsq. J. Emelt, Esq. Ledger, Esq. Routh, Esq. —. Griffith, in sq . R. B en , E sq . Lord PALMERSTON seconded the motion. The LORD MAYOR objected to his own name being placed on the list, and it was the wish of his brother Aldermen to have their names withdrawn. Mr. AoAir aids said, that as a mat k of respect the names of the Lord Mayor and the other members of the Corporation who had attended the Mee►ing, should be retained in the list. The LORD MAYOR begged to be understood, that himself and the other Alembers of the CorporAtion, in their official capacity, gave no opinion %hatever on the measure. Colonel Trench had submitted the plan to him as Conservator of the River, and he had called to hear it a number of Gentlemen whom he conceived were best acquainted with the navigation and trade of the river, and thay came now to hear a Rather eiplanation. The conservancy of it wat vested in the Lord Mayor for the time being, and in the Corporation. As members of that body to whom the plan must hereafter be neces sarily submitted, in order that their consent might be obtained, it would be inconsistent to act on the Corn. mittee which would have to memorialise the Lord Mayor and the Corporation. Alderman WOOD and Mr. FAVELL concurred In this opinion. Their names were therefore withdrawn, and the Resolution was agreed to in an altered form. The barge was then unnsoored, and rowed as far as the Southwark bridge. The company went out on the roof, and inspected the site of the intended work as they passed. At about five o'clock they landed. SPORTING /N 2 ELLIGENCE, BETTING-ROOM, WiI Ii MRSALL'S, JULY 19.
