PERRY MAN, THE DEFAULTER. A clue has at length been obtained, which, it is hoped, will lead to the speedy detection of this person; for although little has been said cf the means which have been adopted to trace him, the officers of Govern ment, as well as the Magistrates of Bow.stre t, have been indefatigable in their exertions to cause his appre hension. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald has shown the utmost anxiety upon the subject, and has lost not a moment in endeavoui ing to bring the defaulter to justice; deter mined, at all hazards, to make an example of one who has so grossly abused the trust reposed in him. Under hi s directions, we understand that private letters were dispatched to all the outports of the kingdom, giving an accurate description of Perryman's person, ac companied by suggestions as to the probability of his endeavouring to get out of the country to America, or vme other foreign State. Persons were also engaged to watch the conduct of his connesions in and near Landon, and by that means to obtain a clue. It is hoped, that by these prudent steps, the object in view has at length been accomplished. We are informed that intelligence was yesterday received in London, that a person closely answering to the description of Perryman had b ei observed endeavouring to obtain a berth on board an American ve,sel, w hi c h was preparing to tail from one of our principal outpotts.. The information was immediately communicated to Sir Richard Birnie, under whose d rection two confidential officers had been kept in readiness to start at a moment's warning. Sir Richard lost no time in dispatching the officers to the place named. They were accompanied by one of the messengers of the Navy Pay-office, who is intimately acquainted with Perryman 's person; and, if they have not One upon a wrong scent, two days will, no doubt, place this extensive defaulter within the hands of justice. Mr. Creswell, the cashier, whose confidence had been so unaccountably extended to this man, has been called upan officially to pay into the Bank of Eng land the amount or the deficiency in his accounts. — The utmost sympathy has been excited towards Mr. Ciesswell, who bas been an cid and valued servant to Government, and who for some years past has been seriously alli:cted with ill health--/ circumstance to which his incautious reliance upon his assistant clerk may be in a great manner ascribed. His salary was KV. per annum, and not long since he was offered a -soperannuation allowance of 600/. a year, to which his Writes entitled him, but which he, unfortunately for himself, although perhaps luckily for Government, de di.;el Perryman, being the next in seniority, would have been his successor, and would thus have had an opportunity of committing depredations upon the public to an almost unlimited extent. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE. Nov. 2s. Vtiday George Heaton, William Kitcourt Harrison. and Francis Forster were elected Skirne Scholars of Catharine Hall. Wednothy the Rev. It. Burgh Byant, M.A. of King's College, was restated by the Provost and Fellows of that Society, to the Vicarage of Kew and Petersham. Same day the Rev. James Thomas Price. M.A. Fellow of King's College, was presented by the Provost and Fellows of that Society, to the Rectory of Loys Weedon, 'in the county of Northampton. A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on Monday evening, the Right Reverend the Bishop of Lincoln, the President. being in the Chair. A memoir was read by Professor Airy, "On the longitude of the Cambridge Observatory." He observed that difference of longitude, as determined by geodetical operations, and by differences of sidereal time, do not necessarily coincide. They depend upon different definitions, and are useful for difftrent pur poses. The geodetical longitude of Cambridge Observatory frost Greenwich, as proved by the trigonometrical survey, is £4s. 6. of ' time east. But on the List, 22d, and 23d of October last, a com parison of tbe,transit clocks at the two places was made by mean, of sit pocket chronometers, carried four times from one place to the other; and this gave the astronomical difference of longitude 235. 34. which Professor Airy considers as the quantity to be used in future. A paper was also read by -Mr. Willis, of Caius College, " On the Vowel Sounds ;" and after the meeting, experiments were exhibited illustrative of the doctrines asserted. It appears that the vowel sounds may be produced by means of a loose reed in the order 1, e, a, I, o, 6, u • by successively contracting the aperture of the cavity in front Of the reed. It appears also, that by fitting on a tube. of gradually increasing length, the sounds pro duced are, the above series of vowels in a direct order—and the same in an inverse order—with intermediate positions giving no sound; anJ that this cycle Is repeated at equal lengths of the tube.

The mode in which the Recorder's Report is made ti his Majesty is not generally known. Most people, we believe, imagine that the cases, with such ternaries as axe necessary to explain cher s are merely laid befnie 11;s Majesty. This is not the ca:e. The 'fa of per otis condennned on whom it is not intend, d that the law shall take effect is simply read over, and, as a matter of course, Approved ; but the list of the persons whom it is deter• misted to execute has appended to it not only the opinion of the Judge that condemned them, but the evidence on which he proceeded. When the wl.ole of this has beets read over, his Majesty signifies his opinion. if this accord with the opinions of his ad v i ers, as indicated in the list, no discussion takes place; but, it kdu not—if the King think that any one of the miserable wretches wh:'se names are in the black list ought to be spared—the question is submitted to the Council ; and it is no un• usual matter in such a case for his M , je.ty to 6113 him. self in a minority. The ieading of documents when the cases are numerous, and the discussion that is s me times necessary, occupies a great deal of time, and is attended with considerable fatigue. On the last occa sion, we believe, it did occupy a great deal of time, and hence the postponement of the conideiation of the per vins condemned at the October Sessions. Great exertions are making to avert the sentence of the law, which is appointed to be carried into effect on Higgins on Monday H em A me mori t l has been presented to the Secretary of Stave, alleging that the unhappy man hid been for some time prior to clic committal of the act for which he is condemned, 'about ing under temporary insanity—and yesterday five indi viduals, neighbours of the criminal, applied at Marl borough-street Office, to make affidavits to that fact; but the Magistrate refused the application, at the same time referring them to Mr Peel. MURDER AT BIRMINGITA — NI AND INQUEST. An inquest was held on Wednesday, at the Woolpack Inn, Moor -street, before Mr. Whate.ey. coro,lei, on the body of John Dwyer, who was murdered in London hentice-street, on Sunday night, by a party of Irish men. The Corcna r refused allowing notes of the evi-d dente to be taken, but the following account will be found quite correct as to general facts— Dwyer. who WAS . Ati Irishman, went with three other persons, on the evening cf Sunday, Nov. 23, about seven o'clock, to a public house, in London f'ren ice street. The party sat do Arn to cards, and c .ued playing the game called " Five and twenty," until ten 'o'clock ; they played for ale, the two nest games out of three winning; on leaving the cards ten pints of ale re. ' mained to come in, which was drank by the party, who, during their gaming, had been as busily eegaged an drinking. Whilst drinking this remnant of the winnings, a female named Dunn entersd the room ;1 Dwyer offered her a cup of ale, but she, seeing a woman named Donally, who cohabited with Dwyer,' by whom she has one child, having had others by i her late husband , who was kilted by a fall from a scaffold, refused taking it. In a very short time after Doma's daughter came in, who was also asked by deceased to drink, which she declined ac cepting, aithough she did not exchange a word with . hint, but left the room, returning shortly to the door, and beckoning Dwyer, who was opposite t a it, to go out to her, which he did, and found her conversing with a pet son named Michael Burn. Ile pushed Buns Aside, and probably cut him, for Burn went to his lodging h'iuse, kept by Thomas Carr, alias Curran, to wham he indignantly complained that Dwyer had conic bets , een him and Mary Duois, and cut his fore head open. Whine this was going no, the woman Donally went to the entry, to hear what was the col v.rsation between the deceased and Mary Dunn. She there was accosted by Carr; who had a brickbat in each hand, and ii.quired where De. yer was. She asked" Wrias do you want him fn.?' to which he replies', " He has opened the lot ehead of eof my had n ers, And have revenge before I sleep !" O. h .acing this remark deceased came forward, and said, " %tow forehead have I opened ?" desiring Carr to bring the person for.' [ward that I.e might be seen. The woman Donally urged him to go home, that he might be up earls on the morn-, ing to go to his woik ; he replied, " Never mind, my, wench, I shall bring you home 17s. on SAM :ay 4i.t• Deceased then proceeded vs his lodgings, 32, London Prentice -street; and caught hold of the latch to 0, en :he dour, but found it locked, Donally having the key. While she was getting it, Thcs. Murray came behind him with a mason's shovel, and struck him a viole. t blow' on the head, which brought him to•the wound. Mi.' shad Bann struck him with another shovel on thw back, on which Carr struck him wilt the brackb .ts,• exclaiming, " Lay on the —." The woman D called out, " Murder I' and the deceased said, "Oh. dear, Beaty, my back is broken—l am a dead man.", John Shellman, a friend ut the deceased, alarmed at the noise and cries, came up, And when he saw D wyei's situation, offered 101. for the man that struck him.. I'. Murray, on this, came out, and said, " I struck hint. and would serve any one Vie same way who'd take his, part." Murray and his companion; then attained to the public-house. Mary Dann endeavoured to lift de ceate.!, but when she had raised him on his feet, found be was unable to stand, and he fell from her on the ground. He was then removed to his lodgings, placed on the fl )(sr, and- surgical aid se , t for, as was also a Roman Catholic Clergyman. When they *trived life was nearly extinct, and all ants made to awake him to a consciousness of his situation were in von. 11: died about half-past one o'clock A. 54. on Monday. Afier a laborious examination cf the witnesses, which occupied nine hours, a verdict was ietorned of " Wilful Murdar against Thomas Murray, Michael Burn, and, Thomas Carr (otherwise Curran)." The Coroner im mediately committed them to take their trials at the next Assizes. Accounts have now M. bed town from the most distant of those country banks which k.pt cash with Mess's. FRY and CHAPMAN, but no disaster in any instance appears to have followed the failure of that house. At Newcastle, when the news arrived on Wednesday, there was a smart sun kept up for some hours on the bank there, conducted under the firm of CHAPMAN and Co. but all the claims on the house were promptly met. We underst Ind that the atten ti in of Ministers thenieelver, as soon as intelligence reached them of the failure of Messrs. Fly and Chapman, was immediately directed to the situation of the money-market, and that the Duke of Wellington came to town early on the following day to direct such proceedings as might be thought proper to prevent the spreading of any alarm on the occasion. The Duke is said alsoto have addressed• a communication on the suhject t, the Directqrs of the Bank of England, enjoining them to act without delay in such manner as might appeal useful under the emergency ;_ and there is reason to be lieve 'bar, in consequence of this communication, the Directors • waved all scruples that might present them selves at the time against the extension r f th. it discounts. and 'posed the greater pottion of the bills that were presented to them. LITtRATURII. TRIALS Ott LIFE-3 'oh. 12mo. flute. The task of pourtraying ditty a few of the infinite v.rieties I , f human character, of de:ineating o ly a feia of is strongly ma. ked cot Oasts. and r f tr acing azti to its hidden springs in the heart, is one in which success is usually uncertain, since there is required A cm•eur rence r , f circumstances which seldom unite in favour any single individual. Wh re an extensive field r f ob. nervation lot tuitously presents itself, the power of moral ' vision is le Illicitly inadequate; where, r n the other , hand, the mind is comprehensive, and the reasoning fa-, culties strong, oppertunities for the exercise of them are too often waniing, and they are destined t % remain in acti% e. But the deficiency of individual experience may be supplied by a reference to the observations of the many who have made human nature their stud) ; and this is, in a great measure, the resource of our pre sent authoress, fir we think we may venture to ascribe these volumes to a female hand. They consist of two tales, in most of which, more particular'y the second, we find the mo.t studied delineations of character, and Abundance of sentiment ; these prevailing features in deed give to the work in some degree the appearance of a dissertation on ethics. The characte►s are gene rally drawn with power, judgment, and discrimination, and are consistently supported; there are like% iie some scenes of highly-wrought interest, in which the write! evinces considerableralent. IMPROVFOIENT OF BM ITIIFIELD MARKET. A pamphlet on this subjest, containing elorationi and a ground plan of a building proposed to be elected as a Market-house, has just made its appearance. The author says, 44 It is in the form of a parallelogram, rupposid to be placed in the middle of Smithfield, levying on all sides alr e communication. It consist, 01 two lateral buildings, each two hundred and thirty feet by fifty, inclosing a spacious area, for the conveni ence of carts and 'tier vehicles, loading and unloading. The approach to this open -pace is by two grand aecl - ways, connec.ing the two buildings with each other, and forming a novel at well as an imposing feature in the north and south fron:s. There are two floors and 4 basmient ; the latter comprising dry and airy criCts, for the purpose of storing away any commodit es re. /training oft-del, which it may not be des;rable to re move farm the spot The ger trld floor is divid, dby three rows of ca t iron c •lumns, supprting the flo,r above, and the mi . ; it is almost e itirely open, the en trances being only scp irated lions each other by store piers. The upper floor is nearly similar. It is accrsib e by four grand staiica-es, and there are corridors which lead over the archways. This fl tor will be provide d ith cranes and suitable m schinery • f every kind, to that Rood., however heal of bulky, may be raised of lowa ed with the greatest tacility. As ti:e building is planned chiefly with a view to the ecconimodatii , n of wholesale buyers, it is not intended is erect any shops, or such fixtures as are usual in retail en kets ; what ever benchlis, blocks, &c. may be reciaired fir the re per exhibition of goods, will ne so constructed as to be easily removed *at the conclusion of each day's sake.— l'he style which has been Adopted wi.h a view to archi tectural effect is that which iitevailed in Greece subse quent to the Nlacedonian conque s t, the petiod when the arch constructed upon scientific principles was first introduced, and has been selected on account of the op portunity it off itds r f combining the simple - majesty of the Grecian D.,ric with the large• and. runierous open. rags which are obviously necessary in a building of this .lescsireion. "The pi i -cipal or western fi ont is decorated by a cen- Piral portico, elevated upon * r us:icated basement. It is a iestotalion.of one,. the remains e f which are now .n ex s ence, and . 'which was formerly the entrance to the Agora, or market pl ice of Athens. The entablatuse f this portico is continued te urni the buildine, with ihe excepLion of the epystillum, or architrave. which i omitted in those parrs where it is unsuppotted by co. limns or anti: ; its 'tatural substitute, the arch, b..ing employed over large o l amMi,es, which give light anu air to the upper floor, arid w Inch, at tie same tin.e. add greatly to iht novelty and beauty of the general A!esign. At the extremity of each wing is a projeciiiin commonly styled a pavilion, in which tour affix ale employed in:fead of co:umns. In the eastern facade semicircular form is given tu the central part, the inte rior of which is a splend d room, sixty feet by thirty. intended to be fitted up as an exchange ro..m for the buyers and salesmen. In other parts of the building a-e 'Aces for the clei k. of the market, and for other rur-1 .es. The proposed arrangements are not designill to i:itei fete with • t hay and straw markets, for which ample space will be left, when the sheep pens are taken down, in the north west corner of Smithfield, opposite the Ham public-house." It was stated on Thursday by one of the officers at Lambeth street Polices - Ace. that within the last few slays twenty-five 51. and ten 101. forged notes had been presented for perils nt at the !sal k o England. . The late trial at LI sr in the Court of Kirses Bench is said to have been the longest on record ; the expense nru,t have been en , r nous. The terrace erecting inCovent-garden Market ft onting Greet Itlssell-street, sill Shen finishrd, have a very plea-ing effect. It is to be faced with Scotch granite, and the stone steps at the west end, leading thereto, are already erected. At present this part of the G irden is the most unseemly, bot when the terrace is complete it is intended that it shall be the pat of the Garden allot ted to shrubs and flowers, which will be peculiarly attractive and ornamental. At a meting of the Antiquarian S ciety, held yes 1 1 terri4y, the Chairman stated to the members, that his , Viijesty had expressed a wish to have the two large historical paintings, the Battle of the Spur and the Champs d'Or, whictt had been lent to the Society by Georg- t'te Third, returned to Windsor Castle, whence , they had originally been brought. At the same time, he (the Chatiman) had it in command to inform the meeting that the King, their august patron, had, gra. ciou•ly been pleased to bestow on the S iciety two gold medals annually, of the value of fifty guineas each, for the two b-st papers on antiquities. The intimation wa4 received with much approbation by the members assem bled, by many of whom it was viewed as a solatium for the removal of the pictures. The ctew of the Gall Stream Floating Light report, that a brig hailing from Sunderland ran on the Good win Sand about ten o'clock on Thursday morning, dui• ing a heavy squall from S..S.W. and soon after disap; ',eared ;it is supposed the crew are drowned. A letter from Ramsgate, daied ha!f-past nine at night, says— " Three boats are returned with from forty to filly pieces and half pieces of Cogriac brandy. The vessel has parted, and the wreck is floating to sea." The filth in the basin in the Green Palk when the water was let off, was eight feet deep! His Majesty, it is believed, will not reside in the New Palace until it is supplied wit'r water from some other source. Whets the basin is cleaned it is intended to have it paved in the same manner as the reservoirs at Versailles, and cleansed of the accunaujated mud once a year. LAW ISITELLIaNCg.

IN RR UNTII ANK E. Mr. Sergeant "Wane applied to the Court, on behalf •f a young noon nitned Unihanke, t o be. admitted as an -attorney c f the Court, as he had served articles to an attorney for the course of three years. The affidavit on which this application Wit grounded stated that the a t plicant was a Bachelor if ALE of the University of Oxford, and that in Feb. 1b22, he h •d been articled for three years to an attorney. At the end of two months he went abroad, where he continued until the summer of 1825. On his ro turn his articles were assigned to another attorney, with whom he continued three months, and was then re-assigned to another attorney, with whom he continued for the remainder of the term of t'iree years. Tire application was made to the Court in consequence of an assignment of the articles having been made alter the expiration c•f the term fsr w h ieft the articles were originally granted. The Learne.l Sergeant stated that he cons dered that it was in the power of the Court to admit in a case of this kind. As. Mr. Unthanke had served three years (which was a suf ficient period for a Bachelor of Arts of either of the English Univeisities,) although, perhaps, with some degree of irregularity, he contended that this was a case in which the Court would exercise the discretional power which it possessed. The Comer stated that as both the assignments had taken place after the term for which the deed had been originally granted, and also as there was no covenant in either of these assignments, fa him fai•hfully and honestly to dischorge the services for the remaining period of three years, the applicant must suffer the consequences of his own acts, as it was imposs We to consider the service which he had performed as suffi cient. The Court. mo.eover, had not the power to assent to the application of Mr. Sergeant Wilde. EARL Of FALAInUTH V GEORGE. The CHIEV Jusuck debuted the judgment of th• C3Uit in this case, which was an action brrught to de• ter mine the plaintiff's right to a toll on fish (namely, the second best 6 h in every boat) brought into the Sninan Cove, in the county of Control!. The plointiff founded his claim on bis maintaini..g a capstan and a rope in the Cove, for the purpo e of Assisting the fishes men in drawing their boats on shote. The d Pendant contended that if he did not use the capstan and rope, he ought not to be called upon to pay th• toll. The COuRT, however, were of opinion that as the capstan and rope were public conveniences, without I' l 1 I.
