• CASTLE CHRISTLIURG;;:- IRON Roscoes le GlitilAN NOVIILIIIVIV VOL. 11. It was many years after the famous Tir-hill fiht,• ' so fatal to the then existicg order of German kn ight. hood, when the magnificent and beautiful Cutlet of Christburg, not far from the city of Danttick, was laid in a heap of ruins, and so many noble familiei were compelled to seek a foreign soil, that a poor mendicant, " all tattered and torn," sought refuge under its decayed - walls horn the bitter blasts. Being Unacquainted with ' the current reports, which bestowed a legion of spirits upon the old uninhabited vaults, and other remnants of its fanner splendour, he built himself a•iittle but Close upon the Castle site, where he intended to close his. earthly pilgrimage. Deily, and dul y , however, he tel tinued to practise his old profession, begging . almls in they neighbourhood, and frequently returning, richly lades, with bread crusts, to his solitary dwetfing. About a year had passed over his head, wherCis one of his evening rambles among the Castle reArias , re• marked a light glimmering through the bate?)ihich overspread its time-worn wall. Indulgirg Ito no. lions of a supernatural kind, he stood still, and peeped through an opening into the vaults below. There, to a spacious and lofty cellar, he saw a large table; covered with well-filled pitchers, bumpers, and bowls. His mouth watered at the delicious sight. " There 4 1 neither butler nor lacquey that I see," said he to him -. self, " and who el.e is likely to refuse' me a good draught ?" Sa he quickly found out the door, which had a latch like any other door, and he opened Mounting a few steps, he ente red into the drinking. room, which was only just light enough for him to see. 0 her steps at the end of it led into the vaults, which were very dark. and made him a little uncomfortable; but a row of vats stood before him, and he was content. And behold! he found he was not quite alone ; a re spectable old man sat at a table in one corner, appa rently employed in reckoning. Supposing he had now met with the owner, the intruder saluted him, entreating that be would afford him one glass of wine. "Yes, answered the man, " drink—take as much as will agree with you, and come again in the morning." His mild manner took the fancy of his guest; be filled his glass of wine, which he four times repeated, and inquired, as be went out, if he might really venture there again?— " Yes,",* as the reply, "come wbeu you please, seven times a week, but not twice a day; be discreet, and • bold your tongue—you are a lucky fellow." The beggar went, and came again ; regaled himself, and drank so much wine, during the next seven days, that he had cause to fear it was beginning to make in roads upon his constitution. He then bethought him self of taking only half of his daily allowance, and keeping the real for sale, with the proceeds of which he might buy fresh food and raiment. A mendicant selling wine was rather a rare sight in the City. His purchasers laughed; ail were eager to have a taste, and declaring that it was drink fit for the gods, they shewed him the way to the towa-house, for it a as too good for the palates of ordinary citizens, and the patricians could afford him a good price ; so he willingly went ; the Alderman emptied his pitcher, and requesting him to get more of the exact &moor, remised not to haggle with him about the price. As often as he went with a fresh supply, he obtained the same handsome reward • but towards the fifth day. they began to inquire as to t he source of so rich a spri ng . His vow of silence luckily occarred to th em e beggar; be began to invent a story, but as they threatened to chas tise him if he did not reveal the whole truth, be threw his pitcher at the Alderman's bead, and ran as fast as his heels could carry him. When he next paid a visit to the cellar, it appeared that the old wine merchant, who sat reckoning in the corner, was acquainted with all that had passed. " Look to yourself," he said to the beggar, " for they are, in pursuit. In fact they have spied you out, but they will not come here again." They had indeed caught a glimpse of him as be en• tered the ruins; they followed, but their . reception MN such, that half dead with fright, they had no inclination_ to roc ed. For his pursuers, the moment they reaebedl the awful precincts of the Castle, beheld a solemn fa. send procession, that rose like an exhalation from the ground, advancing before them, until seised with an agony of fear, they turned back, reached the City with some difficulty, took to their beds, and died. This shocking occurrence, to which the voice of the people added fresh terrors, placed the beggar-man-in perfect security. He lived unmolested in his hut, drank his wine, forgot that he was a poor mendicant, and, by comparing old and new dates, thought himself a very lucky fellow. One day there joined hie company just such another miserably-clad wretch as be had once been. He had been equally roughly handled in the world, had no where to lay his bead, and his good bro ther, uncorrupted by his late prosperity, humanely of fered him a share of his own roof. In fact, he took hies ' into partnership ; they beat up the neighbouring dia. triots in different directions, made a common stock of their net proceeds, and their firm continued for a eta,- siderable time. Nothing, however, was said to the new partner about the nice ; but one evening, returning home earlier than usual with a well filled am tp,he heard, as he came nearer, loud sounds of revelry and mirth ; he thought a whelp party must be assembled somewhere in the vigintty.Ong voice, at least, was in full key ; be found the doors and windows open as be drew nigh ; apd all this loud jubilee came from within, as if intend ed to be heard through the country far and wide. .—He entered and found go one besides his old friend; all thg sound? of revelry were his; his countenance was NOW up with joy, his eyes sparkled, he sang, and two flasks sped between his knees, one empty, the other full of wipe. " Welcome, old boy !" he cried as his fi iend came " sit you, down here l—drink, and sing a song, for once in your life! lam richer, ma* than all the Redcross Knights in Germany that evil' : flourished r In silent astonishment the old man seated, himself. drank as be was bidden, and soon began teo sing. The other flask was speedily emptied ; and aft,' this good drinking bout h4ith fell as4ep. the new . pase. l net dreamed only of the oddity or Ending so rich ; I beverage in so or a pleCe ; and the first question be asked himself whets he awakened was, Where the deuce does he get it from. His friend being still asleep, he searched his pockets, and examined every article io the house. to get, if possible, into the secret. All in vain, yet the nest day, the next, and the next, the flask was always fall ; he looked, be inquired of his friend, but could get no satisfactory a ut eret, Isom . than, " The butler has forbidden IPS tO a t waid aboot it; be gave it me." • The bp le took place in the beginning of the tightens& reistigf• t lei ohms traditions it is idestioned under the' mate of the beamed or cursed cud,. But the curious old fellow was dying to know, the secret, and determined to keep a sharp look-oat. With this view he had recourse to an old stratagem : just as they were going to take a glass, he suddenly fell dowa In a fit, 'began to kick and make mouths; till getting under the table he gave it such a hearty jog as quite epees die whole drinking apparatus, and every deep of mks" was lost. DeriugAhe continuance of his leap took good -heed .f _every thing his friend did; elm thinking it a good opportunity to obtain a supply before 'dada man recovered, took a key out of hispocket and west. He was no . sooner gone than op sprang hii friead,aud glided softly after him. It•wasalready due. aud .be had some difficulty to keep him him insight, till with the help of the moon he saw him enter the old Castle, and actually disappear down one of the vaults. He had now like to have fallen into a real fit • the ruins gleamed awfully upon his sight. Yet he h ad reached the entrance, his foot was upon the first step : he went on through the overhanging shrubs, and be saw his r not far off, unlock a small door. He saw a :r a i a tne t e ilimmering at a distaste, and when the door it became still more visible;-but he had scarcely goas a few steps further towards the door when it slammed to, with a hideous noise, and not without iatching the old inquisitive beggar a pretty sharp hit On the elbow. At this he made a sad outcry, which echoed through the inner vaults; a figure was seen going up the steps, and the old man in an agony of fear, Inv mg the: skirt of his coat fast in the door-way, ran of quicker than he ever ran in his life, and only looking once • and to see whether be was pursued, he at length reached the hut, more dead than alive. Resuming a little aaaaage, with the return of light, and anxious for his friend's safety, the old beggar determined to visit the broad d -- of hii _ ruins, it being now lay, in search . mg He found the way, and came to the bushes which be had passed the evening before, but be could nowhere discover the little door i the whole scene appeared to have been changed. Thinking he must have missed the way, be wandered up and down the ruins, yet all his researches proved vain. Perceiving it was now near sunset, he began to be glaimed, and set off home at full speed, the speed of an old beggar-man. He now came I to the resolution of venturing no more near the fatal ge.s I spot, but continued to beg bonestlj in the neighbour hood. A year bad elapsed, and it was the eve of St. Martin's Day. Once more, as formerly, seated upon the same spot, where he had been last regaled by his lost partner, a victim to his fatal expedition, sat the old gar•man. Twilight was already coming on, when 10. the door opened, and in walked a figure of which bad some faint recollection ; he fitted his eyes upon iins for a moment, and ran towards him; it was his old Gibe friend. " What I is it possible?" cried be, "is k in deed, you r..... 84 It is, sir, sure enough," replied the r; 44 the same who took you into partnership and gave you shelter here; and yet you were so very un ,gratefal and unreasonable, as to upset all my wine in ',Kura; a plague upon you fits; and thus compelled as to get into a horrid scrape, by disobeying the but kr's commands." The strange beggar then recited all be had seen, how he had spent a whole year with the spirits of the under world; bad been initiated into all their secrets, and condemned to learn the most hard and frightful lessons of their power. At length, to his great relief, he was informed that the day of his release was at hand; that he must instantly depart, and acquaint the upper world with the secrets he had seen. The Golden.lane Brewery was submitted for sale yes terday, at Gateway's, together with the valuable plant, steam-engine, &c. Exclusive of the purchase-stoney, the purchaser was to pay for all the fixtures, horses, drays, &c. at a valuation. A small portion of th e um is leasehold for sixty years, at 251. a year, and another part, for twenty-three years, at 781.8,. per annuls. Mr. Farebrother, the auctioneer, stated, that 180,0001. had been expended in the formation of the concern. The first bidding was 25,0001. and it at length was bought in at 34,7001. We learn, by letters from St. Thomas, that a fire broke At in that city on•the night of the ISth inst., which destroyed upwards of twenty houses, including the Custom-house, the Royal Secretary's, and Book keeper's offices and dwellings, and the Danish Church. American Papers to the 12th of August contain the following article from Havannah, dated -July 20:-- " This place is very healthy. The Spanish squadron, consisting of the Guerrero, of 80 guns, Commodore LAIIOItDII, two of 60, two of 44, and one of 40 guns, with several smaller ships of war, are lying of the Ha vannah. A King's Messenger had arrived from Madrid, via Bourdeaux, with despatches; but their contents bad not transpired. The island is perfectly quiet." A Smyrna Paper says, that an English ship of war has arrived there with 20 Arab prisoners, whom Goura has given to Commodore Hamilton. This is a curious phrase. The Smyrna Journals.mention the Arabs, as if they were so many horses, but th ey will not beac cepted as such by the gallant Commodore. The Colombian of the 19th and 26th July furnishes us with a long public Act of the Deputies of the Muni cipality of Valencia and the Apure, united in she city of Valencia. This document is addressed to the nations in amity and friendship with the Republic ; and glees a long list of grievances which they have long suffered under the administration of General SANTANDER. The document is signed by twenty-seven Deputies in the 16th year of their Independence, and is dated Valencia, 30th June, 1826. The following letter was received at Lloyd's yester day, dated Smyrna, August 19, from the agents there: a It is agreeable to learn that two ships if war have sailed for this station. The Ariadne is said to have as sisted' at Malta. His Majesty's ships Cambrian and Brisk ate in port. The Rosa gave convoy to the Sca m:oder to the Dardanelles, and is expected to return here. We have no news of the Seringapatani, since sailing on the sth for Thermia. There is yet much need of a greater number of small cruisers in the Ar chipelago, and since the Rose came in, three weeks ago, these does not appear to be any ship of war cruising . near Cape Doro, and in the other passage, 'where pirates are more numerous, to protect vessels bound upward), unless the Seringapatam and Rose have taken their station there lately. Convoy may be appointed next week for the Matchless, for London and the Levant, and Star and Albion, for Liverpool, nearly ready. A sailor wa, brought from Tinu last week in a Sardiniarrship of war, who reports that he belonged to the Genoese vessel the Perla, loaded at Gibraltar for this port, which was captured at the entrance of this gulf, by a Greek schooner, and carried into Idra, and that all the clew except imself had been murdered The Captain pasha has yet done nothing againet Samos, notwithstanding daily demonstrations of op attack."• POLICE M A NS!

GUILDHALL Tkonsns Chief, the driver of one of the waggons belonging to Mr. Horne, the coal merchant, appeared before SirJ. Panama, Bart. yesterday, upon summons, for driving his team at a furious pace, in Fleet-street, on Thursday irst.—Mr. Tickner, one of the Common Councilmen of Eirringdon Without, said, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, be saw the defendant's horses coming along with an empty waggon, at their utmost speed. The defendant was endeavouring to increase, if possible, by the free use of the whip, the dangerous speed of his horses, for the purpose, k was evident, of overtaking and crushing against the house frosts a hackney coach which was between the team of horses and the footway. This re sult the coachman avoided only by keeping his hones in a full gal lop ; and as the two vehicles, the one in prank of the other, turned the corner into Bridge-street, there was a general cry of terror among the spectators. Johnsen, the dicer, came up with the de. Pendant in Bridge-street, and stopped the berms, but the driver did not cease attempting so break away, until he was actually over powered. The defendant, in reply, said, the hackney comb, is passing, ran against his hones, and alarming them, fo them into a trot. He himself was thrown down by them, over a heap of lag stones that were piled up in the carriage way, nd when Mr. Tickner saw him running by the side of his horses, it was to stop and not to urge them on. He denied having used the whip.-.-Sir J. Pummel fined the defendant Twenty Shillings. BOW-STREIET. I - CRAIG* Or AssAux.r.-.Yesterclay, a shabbily.dressed young MID was brought before Sir R.

Yesterday, a stout portly-holing man, about Shy years of s r , and having all the appearance of belongi ng t o themwe respeettbi; class of tradesmen, was brought before Mr. CONA PIT, th e si tt i ng Magistrate, for final examination, charged Witt the followin g my_ bevy Mrs. Mentor Omi' ns:3, a widow Lady, residing at No. Si Oxtord-street being sworn, stated , that on Tuesday, th e 19th inst. about- three o'clock in the afternoon, she has going along (nr, t d„ street with her serum. and when she got to the door of the Gr eta Man and Still coach-office, she met with a great crowd, into the middle of which she was forced by some persons behind her, She was then pressed on all sides, and the prisoner stood in front of her, and pressed very much against her; she begged of hint to i e t her pass, but he took no notice alter request, hat itill enntinued to kin heavily against her, and with oee hand 'he laid hold of tie tippet of - her gown round the neck, arid began pulling it about sd as to annoy her very smith, while be put his other hand round her waist; at this time some Gentlemen came up, and told her to be: ware of the ptlsoner. The prisoner then quitted her suddenly ; and she put her band in her left side pocket, anti missed from it hes gold watch, gold chain, font stark, two rings, and two keys the whole worth about thirty guineas. She immediately billowed the prisoner, whom she had still in sight and ratite up with hire in the Regent's' Circus ; the entreated him to return her watch, which she particularly valued, as it had belonged to her husband : , bet be denied knowing anything about k, and asked her what sh e meant ? banded ber his card of address, and pulling out his owe watch, said. that was the only watch he had in his possession. A crowd had by this time collected, and a constable coming up, the prisoner was taken into tustody, and conveyed to this face. Mrs. Ginnavan further stated, that she bad her watch, arc. sate in her pocket a few minutes before she get into the crowd at the Green Man and Still; she bad stopped at no other place until the met with the prisoner. Mr. Woodman, residing at Rathhone•plate, laid, that about a quarter after three o'clock on the day in question, he was standing Mme to the door of the Green Man and Still, in Oxford-strett, wait. fag to see his mother-in-law ahoy one of the coaches to the country ; while standing there two coaches drove up together. and a great crowd was gathered ; he saw Mrs. Ginnavan come up, and attempt to pass through the crowd, but iii an instant she was so closer pressed on all sides, that she could not move. The prisoner stood in front of her, and laid hold of the tippet round her neck, which be pulled backwards and forwards, so as to annoy her very much. She said to him,several times, " Pray, let me past;" but the pri.oner did net attend to her, but still kept pressing against her; witness then saw the prisoner lift up the side of the Lady's pelisse, and put his hand downwards; and witness, thinking that he was taking im proper liberties with Mrs. Ginnavan, went from where he stood, and told her to beware of that man, pointing to the prisoner, and, at the same time, asked the latter what he was about? Witness did net, at the time, from the respectable appearance of the prisoner, for a moment suspect any thing about a robbery, but thought the man was taking improper liberties with the Lady in the crowd; the prisoner then went quickly away from the crowd, and witness ob served hint go in amongst a crowd of persons who stood at the ctir_ net of Argyll-street, listening to a ballad singer, and he lost sight of him for about five minutes, and when be next saw him, was when he was taken into custody in the Regent's Circus. Mrs. Ginnavan's servant girl, who was with her, and another female, confirmed the statement given of the prisoner's conduct by the former witnesses. Alexander, a constable, said, that he took the prisoner into custody. and brought him to this office, where he was searched, but nothing found upon him of Mrs. Ginnavan's property ; he bad about him several of his own printed cards, the same produced. This being the whole of the evidence, the prisoner said that he wished to pats question to Mrs. Ginnavan. Mr. Adolphus, who attended on his behalf, advised him to ask no questions in the present stage of the case; he (Mr. Adolphus) did not fed it to be his province to crowexamine witnesses in this plaat—he would leave it to the Magistrate to say, if he thought there was sufficient evidence to commit the prisoner for trial. The prosecutclis servant corroborated the preceding statements. Alexander, a constable, proved having taken the prisoner into cos. tad'', and said he found in his pssiession, some cards, with the name en them of " J. Mouland, boot and shoemaker, 71, Whitecroa. street." Mr. Anemias said be could prove, by several witnesses who were in attendance, that the name en the card. and which the pri soner gave to Mrs. Ginivan, was Ms own proper name, and that he lived in Whitecran-street.

The Parish officers, earl ens to guard against the increased expense, on account of the Mil. fortune of the children, have adopted a resolution to admit no more women into the house who are so Meted ; and to ascer tain that point they have ordered that, before they were admitted, they shall submit to a medical examination. The fear women in question refused to undergo this ordeal, front a feeling of deli cacy, and not that they entertained the slightest apprehension of the result; but the Magistrates said, they could net interfere with the rules and regulations of the Parish Committees; but they thought they were too severe in desiring that every woman should undergo esaminadon. It might be intended to confine the rues doe et the order to women of doubtful characttr ; but, married ' , Meer of good character, should be exempted from the operations of the order. MARY-LA-BONNE.

A respectable tradesman, Mr. H. living at Limehouse, was charged with ill.treating his wife. After a king tirade, in which great volubility of tongue was dent, the Magistrate desired Mrs. M. to fix on Gee point.
