ASSASSINA fION AT VINCENNES. M. Papavoine, the suspected person, is the son of a cloth manufacturer at Mouy, a small commune of 6000 inhabitants, near Clermont, in the department. He has been in the Navy ; but since the death of his father, he has managed the manufactory, which supplied the Navy with cloth. He was opulent to a certain extent, ior the manufactory is worth not less than seventy thousand frame. The two shops are nearly 125 feet in length, and in them he has twenty-four looms. He is ;aid to be ambitious to wish to make a large fortune, but there is nothing in his previous conduct to lead to any suspicion that he would commit so foul a crime. 'The coolness lie displayed, on being confronted with the two bodies of the children, appears to have forsaken hint when his house was searched, at the cid de sac &shit ietre. The visit lasted mot.. than six hours. Very important papers, it is said, wefts found in his pos es sion, which throw light on his guilt, and implicate other persons,.it is said, who excited him to commit this crime, by the promise of a large reward. This discovery affected him, his legs trembled, and he could Hardly support himself. It was almost necessary to carry bim to the coach, in which he was conveyed back to prison. During the journey he looked down, and paid no attention to anything, and did not speak a single word. At times he was agitated by convulsive motions. There is a report in circulation, that some individuals have been arrested, in consequence of the examination. Mademoiselle Herrin is in a state of health that causes much uneasiness. From Mug we learn, that on the very Sunday when the double mur der was committed at Vincennes, the widow Papavoine had her house at Mouy advertised to sell. A Journal says that Papavoine belonged to the Custom-house; hut we Are authorised to say that there is no person of this name in the Custom house.—Constilutionnci. YURTRIIII PARTICULARS. Papavoine has been placed au secret at La Force. The woman klalservait is also au secret at the Made brunettes. Yesterday both the accused were carried before the Juge Instructeur at the Palais de Justice. Papavoine continues to deny everything, and remains perfectly unmoved. In consequence of instructions from the Judge, people began yesterday to seek among the grass for the knife, which it is presumed the assassin' must have thrown away. Papavoine, on being inter rogated, traversed the grand hall of the Palais de Jus tice in the midst of a very great crowd.—Jourual des Deirats The father of the chilJren is, as we have already stated, Nl.Gerbod, coach maker, Rue de Yemeni).

IVo. lot . COTTON MANUFACTURES The value of the cotton manufactures exported during the twenty-two years of the late war, from 1793 to 1815, amounted to 208 millions sterling, at the offi cial value. The raw material, at four millions per annum, amounts to 88 millions sterling. The net annual receipts from fmeign countries fur pr fits and wages was therefore 120 millions, or Phollt 3i millions per annum. "But the whole value of all the British manufactures exported during that period was 548 Millions;" which, after deducting for the raw materials 148 millions, will leave 400 millions, added to the taxable capital of the nation, at the rate of more than 18 millions per annum; by amount received for the wages - and profit of British productive labour. In the eighth year since 'the return of peace, from 1813 to 1822. the cotton manufactures exported are upwards of 1771 millions at their official value ; and, deducting ' fire millions per annum for the raw material, leaves 1371 millions, being about 17i millions per annum, Which being added to the export of the twenty-two' years preceding, will make upwards of 2571 millions contributed since the commencement of the late war, by cotton manufactures alone, to the taxable capital of the nation. But in the last eight years, the whole amount of exported British manufactures and produce is 332 millions; and deducting the raw materials at the increased rate of 7/ millions per annum, will leave '/72 millions, being about 34 millions per annum ; which being added to the produce of profit and wages for the 22 years of the war, as before men. toned (400 millions) will make 672 millions re ceived in the last thirty years since 1793, being up-, wards of 221 millions per annum for wages and profits, produced by British industry, and receive 4 from other natinas. During the war, the sum added to the national debt by loans was 569 millions, which it thus appears was exceeded upwards of 100 millions by the amount received from foreign countries for the ingenuity of the English artisan, and industry of the English labourer. — Manchester Guardian. " After the death of the late Lord ELLENBonoucn, a very large sum of money was discovered deposited in the house of GOSLING, the banker, in his Lordship's name, the profits arising from the lucrative office, the reversion of which was granted to the present Lord.' This balance had been forgotten to be bequeathed by the Noble Lord when he made his will, and was con sequently equally divided amongst the younger chil dren, by which accident their fortunes were increased about 10,00'01. each beyond the intention of their father.

Saturday, the beadle of the parish of Duke's-place, apprated against the beadle of the parish of Illshopsgate, to dispute the right of the former parish to support an illegitimate child, which bid been left in the arms of a woman there, and from which the mother had run away. Trip, the (Aker belonging to Duke's-plate, stated, that some days ago, three women, one of whom had a child in her arms, went into a public-house in Duke's-place, end bad some porter. Two of the women soon walked out, and the third, who carried the child, after paying for the beer, was following her companions, when suddenly stopping at the bar, she begged an old woman who stood there to hold the child, while she tied up her stocking. No sooner did she get the child but of her hands, than she ran off, and escaped out of the reach of the whole neighbourhood, who were alarmed, and started in pursuit. The parish of Duke's-place war thus very nearly burdened with an additional babe; but Trip,who bad a wonderful recollection of faces, and is therefore enabled to trace resemblances betvern fathers and their children, the moment he saw the child, knew it to be the •• heir male" of an Irishwoman, who bad a claim upon Bishopspte parish, and that the father of the boy was no other thin the very victualler at u hose bar it had been left. Under such circumstances, he called upon the parish of Dhhopsgate to take the babe into their protection. Kinnersley, the officer of Bishoptgate, said, he bad no reason to think that the child was the one to which Trip had alluded. He wondered very much how any man, who was not himself the father of the child, could swear that he bepeved it to be the one of whom the Irishwoman was the mother. Trip said he bad frequently seen the child, and khew the features of it perfectly wclL Ile could swear It was "the Irishwoman's, who bad, he was convinced, got some friend to leave it under the paternal roof. Kinnersley—How can you, Mr. Trip, swear to such a thing ? I know I could not conscientiously swear to a child. - Trip—No, I dare say not, if your oath was to get the child bur thened upon your own parish. The LORD MAYOR said, that the oath of Trip was conclusive. It was evident that he had a perfect recollection of the child, and the parish of Ilishopspte must therefore take care of it until the mother could be found, and obliged to point out the father. Kinnersley was very sorry to hear his Lordship's decision, as the parish to which he belongs is actually overwhelmed with brats. The babe was died consigned to bins by Trip, who walked away lighter by the weight of a new-born child, than he was upon enter ing the Justice-room. GUILDHALL. PlNum Lodge. a green-grocer in Grub-ttreet, was charged with carrying into Whitecto.s.st reel Prison two bladders of gin, conoin ing each a gallon, in the centre of a bag of coati.—The prisoner Was fined 101. Refute the prisoner had left the bar, an officer of the prison, who had charge of the spirits, stated to the Alderman that it had been taken from him Ly a person in the room. The Alderman desired the person to stand forward, which he instantly did. The Alderman:then asked by what authority he had taken the spirits from the person who bad it in his possession ? The person replied, that he was an Officer of Excise, and had re ceived information that two gallons of spirits were brought there without a permit, and came to seise it, as it was his duty to do, and which be bad accordingly done. The Alderman, who, as well as the auditory, appealed rather surprised at this declaration, asked him, was he come to that Court to obstruct the course of justice? 'the Officer replied, he was not, but to perform his duty by seizing the spirits. I'he Act of Parliament was referred to, ivy which it appeared that spirits so seized should be destroyed; the Alderman, in consequence, directed it to be taken outside the door ; and spilled. Something fell from the Excise Officer on this order bring given, from which it was interred that be meant to seize the spirits when it sbouid be brought outside the door. The Alderman, in consequence. detained hint in the Justice-room till the spirits were so disposed of, when the very vigilant Officer was allowed to depart. BO w.sTREET. Mrs. Honey. the Lady against whom a warrant was issuers. stet Friday, at the suit of her husband and a Miss Thomas, on a 'barge. lof having unlawfully pawned a gold watch, ate. the property, of the latter Lady, was duly brought before the Magistrates on- Satyr 'day, to answer that charge. Miss Thomas was accompanied by her step-brother, the unhappy husband of the Lady prisoner, who regarded them with looks that strongly corroborated Mr. Hurley's previous description of her temper; and her countenance gave full proof of her habits. She approached the Magisterial table, surcharged with fury, and pre pared fur war; like one" who knew her rights—and knowing dared maintain thPm." The fair prosecutris absolutely trembled at her presence; and even Mr. Hurley, though se long accustomed to the storm, looked as if he wished himself a thousand miles away. Miss Thomas opened the business by übserviug, that she had .net wish to proceed harshly against Mrs. 'holey ; and with his Wee., ship's permission, she would withdraw the Charge of unlawfad pawning—leaeitig Mrs. Hurley in quiet possession of the property, provided she could he secured from persimal violence. This forbearance, however, was quite lost upon Mrs. Hurley, who affirmed that she bad done nothing at all improper, or ticmg she was not fully prepared to justify. She then opened a v cl ky of abuse against her husband in terms the most grow and hides licate ; and defended herself in taking away the watch, &c. as he had neglected to.provide for her. To this her husband replied, that her own misconduct had de :privet! him of the power of providing for her at present; " there As mat a debtor's prison in London," said he, "in which I have not bees confined through your irregularities!' Mrs. Hurley retorted, by calling him "a poor wretch," fee. and was going en with the vilest abuse, both sff him and the prose curd:, and their whole family, when she was stopped by the Magis trate. who called upon Miss Thomas to state what reason she bad to apprehend personal violence? She replied, that Mrs. Hurley made a continual practice of way-laying her whenever she went from home; that she almost daily beset her house in h riotous manner, raising a mob about the door, and representing her as a person of disreputable character; and that she had repeatedly said, " I will be the death of you, for I will crush you into atoms some , or other !" Several highly respectable witnesses, who have daughters in Miss Thomas's seminary, at Pentonville, corroborated her statement, and spoke of her moral character in terms of unqualified praise,' and the Magistrate ordered that Mrs. Hurley should find bail to keep the peace. rs lIAR L BO ROUG 11-STREET. Saturday, Warm Peter Ames, a simple-looking young man, was charged with the following curious robbery :—lt appeared that the prisoner went, on Thursday afternoon, into the house of Mr. Egar, who keeps the Southampton Arms public.house, In Tottenham 'court-road, and ordered dinner, &c. to be prepared for him, which was accordingly done. The prisoner made a very hearty meal, after which he drank a quart of podter ; bat instead of saving any thing about payment to the landlord, he deliberately wallied out of the Louse, not only carrying with hini the unpaid-for dinner and porter, but also the pewter-pot which was on the table ; and this was done with so little disguise, that Eger was so astonished at the prisoner's impudence, that he had got some distance from the door before he pursued him, although be saw him going out. He was, however, Mort overtaken, and given into the custody of a constable. The prisoner seemed, front a weakness of intellect, almost un conscious of what was charged against him, and said nothing in his defence. Some of his friends, who are understood to be respectable, at tended, and represented to Sir Geoaoz•Paiusanr, the Magistrate, that the unfortunate young man is so feeble in his mind as often not to know what he does ; he has been under the care of several Medical Gentlemen, who aU consider him as very few degrees re. moved from an idiot. lie is, however, extremely unoffending and harmless, and was never known to have committed any theft, or done other mischief before. Mr. Eger, the landlord, said, that he had on wish at all to take any proceedings against the poor young Man ; indeed, the open way in which he carried off the pot, cleariy 'hewed that he could not be a regular thief, or in his right mind. Sir Gsoace FARRAXT said, that under these circumstances the young man should be discharged, and he was accordingly given up to the care of his friends, who took him away with them. A jolly-looking, substantial, farmer-like personage, came puffing and blowing into the office, evidently in a state of great alarm, and inquired of Plank, the chief officer, in an anxious manner, if he was in time? ..... _ . The officer asked him what he wished to be in time for? The applicant replied, to answer a summons that bad been served upon him from that office; and having only received the summons the night before, and having a long ',icy to come from the country, he was afraid he might be too late. He then handed the summons to the officer, which ran thus : " Middlesex to-wit.—Whereas it has been verified, upon the oath of Elizabeth Wheeler, made before us, two of she Justices for the said county of Middlesex, that you are the father of a male or fe male bastard child, with which the said Elisabeth Wheeler is now pregnant, you are hereby required personally to appear, before us on Saturday, the 16th instant, and bring with you sufficient secu rities to indemnify the parish of St. Giles spinet the cost of sup porting the said Elizabeth Wheeler, and ber said bastard child; and hereof fail not, at your peril. (Sped) "J. E. Cowart. and Gsoasat Animas, Justices. ' Witness, Join Plank, chief Aar." Plank. upon seeing Me document, saw immediately that-ths whole was a forgery, or at least that part of itsvhich applied to bird' self; because, in the first plate, his Christian came is not John ; and, secondly, summonses from the Office are never witnessed at all. 'however, he thought it his duty to lay the case before Mr. Cianant, the Magistrate, whose Dune was signed to it. Mr. COMA NT on seeing the summons, assured the affrighted far mer that he had never issued or signed the document produced, nor was there any such Magistrate as the other name signed to it .; and it was clear that some good-natured friend had been hoaxittg him (the farmer). The latter said, with joy beaming in his countenance, that al though it had put him to a great deal of inconvenience to comesuch a distance, and bring his bail with him,•yet that was nothing, when compared with the fright he had got about this business. Suppose such a thing came to his wife's ears, *hat should be do? The Magistrate assured him, that where it was found necessasy for parish officers to interfere la cases of this sort, they generally brought people forward upon warrants, 4nd not summonses. The applicant then withdrew, highly rejoiced at the escape he had had ; for he seemed to dread a little the name of Elizabeth Wheeler. H ATTON- GA R DEN. I I DIGGING Levees Worrzas.—dfras Sherlock, a yery respectably dressed woman, between 60 and 70 years of age. Alas charged with being what is termed a regular " Begging Letter Writer." Hte prisoner called at the house of Mr. Brock, of 85, Doughty-street, and presented a petition, with the names of several persons annexed. The petitioner described herself as having formerly kept the King's 'Head Coffee-house, Old 'Change, which was totally burned down in August, and she was consequently thrown on the world in a I state of destitution. The constant repetition of similar claims (ge nerally found on inquiry to be the grossest fabrications) induced Mr. Brock to put her off for a day or two, in order to afford time for inquiry at the Society's house, Red Lion-square, when it appeared that the case of this very person had been consid e red four years ago, the fire having taken place in August,lB39. The year was carefully omitted in the several petitions, and the object of that omission was evidently to induce a belief that the calamity was of a recent date. Saturday morning the prisoner called for an answer, and Nit.. Brock handed h.:r a sixpence folded up in a piece of paper, and having a constable in attendance, be thought it his duty to give her in cus tody. A number of petitions were found in der possesdoo, ad dressed to distinguished individuals, and, it appeared, that If 3 this system of deception, she crust have averaged an income of at least X2OO per annum. The prisoner persisted ib her story, that her husband and herself had kept the King's head, Old 'Change, and that it was burnt down, when 7001. or 8001. worth of property was destroyed. She woe then cast on the world with a son and daugh ter, wholly destitute of support, her husband having deserted her soon after. She was then compelled to have the petitions written during ber illness. Mr. Brock said, he had no reason to believe that a fire had not taken place as described. Mr. Luau said. that as there was no direct proof of misrepre sentation in regard to a fire having occurred as stated, be should hold the prisoner to hail en the present charge; and if the Society could obtain better information that it did not take place, she might be brought up again. AI A HY-LA-DONNE. It may be remembered that about two months ago, a as oc curred at this office, in which Captain Wallace and Mr. Woodgate were the parties—the former charging .the latter with unlawfully and forcibly regaining possession of three horses he had sold him, and the latter accusing the other of having obtained the property by false representations. On the same ticcasion, a charge was pre ferred against the groom to Captain Wallace, for having wantonly set a dog at an Italian lad who bad called at his master's cottage obi Maid:l-hill, by which the boy's thigh was severely bitten by the animal. The Magistrate expressed his indignation at the outrage, and ordered him to hod bail. A friend of the Captain, of the name of Giles, and another Gentlentass. who were in the office at the time, entered into tte required sureties, and the defendant was in consequence set at liberty. It appears, however, that he afterwards kept out of the way; and the ball having received an intimation that their recognizances were fsrfeited, kept a look-out for hint. and having at length captured hint, yesterday surrendered him at this office, from whcuce he was committed to prison for trial at the ensuing Sessions. UNION-11AM On Saturday, a errs(); named swgeteal was drafted with having caused a disturbance in the Coburg Theatre. Clarke the officer stated, that on Friday evening last, during the performance of a piece at the above theatre, in a scene iu which an infant is ordered to be slain, a child is led in on the stage, and *1 the moment the actor demands the sacrifice, Mr. Kent, who was sitting in the middle of the pit, junipe.l uil on the seat, and drawing a large knife from bisp...•ket, called out as loud as he could," Ho/d! I say, hold ! If you kill that there child, I'U surely murder you with this here knife." The loud voice with which this threat was made, and the exertions of the defendant to rush from the bench where he had been Sitting towards the stage, with the knife in his hand, attracted the eyes of all to the pit. At length a cry of " Turn him out" resounded through the house, and the performance ceased. An officer now apploached the defendant, and told him be must leave the pit. Mr. Kent ;mine that he would neither leave the house, nor put up the knife, even for King George himself.' unless a promise was made that the child should be spared. The audience becoming excessively clamorous, and the cry of " Tut n him out" continuing, the officer was under the necessity of taking him to the watch.horse, where he was quite outrageous. The defendant, who appeared to be about 43 years of age, was I asked by the Magistrate what could have induced Lim to make snob a fool of himself before the audience ? Mr. Kent, in reply, said that he was sorry for what bad hap pened; he bad drank rather freely before be went to the Coburg, and never having been in a theatre beinre in kis life until that night, really thought the poor child was going to be put to death by a ferocious-looking follow who stood over it with a drawn dagger. His anxiety for the life of this child, he said, was the cause of his having committed a breach of the peace, alid be was now willing to make any atonement in his power for his offence. The Magistrate laughed heartily at the simplicity with which the defendant accounted for the disturbance be bad excited in the the atre, and observed that the only atonement required was, that be should promise in future not to interfere with that which was acted on the stage of a theatre, however tragical the scene ; which pro mise being duly made by the defendant, he was discharged. AMERICAN POLICE. Pomo Cottax, Boaxert.—Mrs. Fasiny Junes was brought before the Court, on complaint of Mr. Glover, one of the constables, as a lewd and lascivious person, And pleaded not guilty. It was stated in evidence, that Mrs. Jones had been within a few years married ' to three persons (and was now published, with an intention of marriage, to the fourth), all of whom were now living; and that the first husband bad offered to one of the constables the sum of five dollars to have her brought home. It appeared also, that Mrs. Jones would not return to her first love, but continued to move from the West part of the city to the North, as occasion required. The Coirt considered her guilty, and ordered her to be confined in the House of Correction for 30 days. Mrs. Jones wished to be excused by paying a hoe, which the Court refused, and she was committed. Tug COLOMBIA.—The approach of the great Levia than; the Colombia, from Canada, which is looked for about this time, has excited extraordinary expectation. She may be considered a great wooden floating island. A handsome and capacious house is built upon the deck, which serves for a habitation for the one hundred men who navigate her.

The deceased occupied a small portion of land under the Duke : he was a man of penurious habits, and lived in a wretched secluded but (at a place called Hose Brock-bills, some distance from any town), where every wind that blew threatened destruc tion to his habitation. A few days ago he was taken seriously ill, which coming to the knowledge of some kind friend, be bad him conveyed to the village of Hose, that proper assistance might be'rendered. Whalley soon grew worse, and finding his dissolu tion near, disclosed to a relation that he had hid some money (to use his own words " not a little") hi a pot under ground: but that be himself must go with the person, otherwise it would be impos sible to'find it. The next day was fixed for the purpose; but ere the morning dawned, the grim King of Terrors had summoned the earth-stopper to his long home—he was found a corpse in bed. It is the task now of his son and heir to discover, if possible, the hidden treasure; but hitherto the search has been altogether fruit less. Nothing can be ascertained as to the probable amount, but it is supposed to be considerable. Id A ILS:— . asp aim MAUR 2 0 Waterford 2 0 L~Guernsey awl Jersey 0 0 9 0 Rolland 0 2 'HIS DAL •as.
